arrived inHobart,the capital city.After briefing us on the kitchens facilities and the whereabouts of the bedroom and bathroom,our hostess Geraldine resumed her ironing work,which seemed to have been interrupted by our arrival.She was ironing what looked like security guard uniforms,and we soon found out that she worked in a local prison.And when she detected the curiosity in our tones,she offered a tour at the prison in her SUV.My friend and I exchanged a“this is incredible”look and said“yes”immediately.As we drove,she told us about the buildings that we were passing,the local market and how to get to MONA,Tasmanias well-known contemporary art gallery.And of course we got to hear some background information about the prison.According to our hostess,it currently holds Martin Bryant,a notorious criminal who cheated 35 people out of their property.We could see the high level of security from the layers upon layers of wires surrounding the gray structure inside.Getting to know a city in such a local way is something I would never be able to do by talking to a hotel receptionist,and this is what I like best about the apartment-sharing experience,not to mention the fact that its usually cheaper than hotel rooms.But Im fully aware of the risks of Airbnb,which is why I did my homework before booking onlineI checked the reviews of the accommodation to avoid possible safety problems.That said,it is the mutual trust between a host and a guest that fascinates methe interesting feeling of building a bond with a total stranger.4.Why did the hostess drive us to the prison?A.She planned to send the uniform to the prison.B.She found our curiosity about the prison.C.She wanted to show off her SUV.D.She needed to offer a tour for us.5.Which of the following can best

there.After I graduated I worked in a supermarket.Lemon Falls had a population of about 800 people,and I knew every single one of them.They all knew everything about me,too.You couldnt do anything without everyone in town knowing about it.The first chance I got I moved to St.Louis and I love it.I dont know as many people now as I used to,but thats OK.I have a few good friends,and I see them when I want to.I kind of like beinganonymous.Id never go back to Lemon Falls.”Troy Henson had the opposite experience.He and his wife,Darla,and their two children moved from St.Louis to Bloomfield three years ago.Heres what Troy told us:“The best thing we ever did was get out of St.Louis.Dont get me wrong;St.Louis is as good a place as any other city,I suppose if you like cities,that is.We dont.Both Darla and I grew up in St.Louis.We met at college and got married.Then the kids came along and life got difficult.We didnt know any of our neighbors.We both had good jobs,but it always seemed like there was never enough money.That all changed when we moved to Bloomfield.I dont make as much money as I used to,but then we dont have as many expenses as we did.We know our neighbors.Life

environment.D In ancient times,Chinese used plant leaves or bird feathers as a fan during the summer time.This was the earliest form of the fan.The first real fan was made back in the era of Yao and Shun period thousands of years ago.Since then,Chinese-made fans have become a vital part of Chinese art and culture.At the beginning,the fan functioned as a tool to generate a current of air in the hot weather.Now electric fans such as ceiling fans and other technological breakthroughs have taken the place.Long ago,fans caught the attention of ancient Chinese artists by chance.Thereafter,a unique fan art gradually took shape in the history of Chinese culture.Fan art usually includes Chinese calligraphy,paintings,or poems on the sectors（扇区）.Special skills are needed to write or paint on them.Due to its history and partly because of its unique shape,Chinese would soon develop the tradition of using fans as ornaments（装饰品）.Fans are made in different sizes and different color1 s to meet the needs of each request.Other Chinese ornaments,such as the Chinese knot,the green jade,and the Spring Festival picture,are often combined in each design.The value of fans depends mainly on the materials used and the level of craftsmanship that is involved during the process.Feather,paper,jade,bamboo and silk have all been used as ideal materials to make fans.Ancient Chinese even made iron fans to serve as deadly weapons（武器）in Chinese martial arts.Fans made by famous craftsmen are often characterized by pretty designs and detailed workmanship,and thus become favorites of collectors.Fans with masterpiece fine art like calligraphy or paintings are even more valuable.12.What is the first paragraph mainly about?A.The origin of fans.B.The materials of fans.C.The popularity of fans.D.The production of fans.13.Why do Chinese use fans as ornaments?A.They are made of valuable materials.B.They reflect the beauty of Chinese culture.C.They convey literature works on the sectors.D.They are often combined with other ornaments.14.Which of the following makes a fan favored by most collectors?A.Its advanced function.B.Its complex character.C.Its artistic handicraft.D.Its various applications.15.What can we infer about the fan from the text?A.Chinese send fans to their friends as gifts.B.Chinese ornaments can meet different requests.C.Traditional fans have lost their functional value.D.The fan plays different roles with the change of time.第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项“I wonder by my troth,what thou and I did,till we loved?”those are the first words of a poem by John Donne that I learned at school and I still know the whole thing today.Its just one of many poems Ive stored in my memory,ready to recite andrelish whenever I please.It seems that poetry learning has gone out of fashion,but Im still a fan because it doesnt just breed a lifelong love of poetry._16_So why not dig out a poem you love and use it to exercise and enrich your recall?Step 1.Know that poems are designed to stick in your mind._17_See how they leave you with memory-arousing images and how they surprise you by breaking the rules,and control your senses and emotions.These are all great ways to make information more memorable.Step 2._18_ When youre learning a poem,try linking the last word of one line to the first word of the next.In my John Donne poem,one line ends with“see”,and the next starts with“which”,so I pictured a“sea witch”.Making links like these can also help with learning names,and many other kinds of information.Step 3.Put in a performance.When youre practising a poem,read it aloud,as dramatically and emotionally as you can._19_ Step 4.Enjoy yourself.Learning poems gives your memory a workout,which improves your mood and gets you into good learning habits.So reap the rewards!Have fun putting rhymes into your shopping list,using rhythm to learn names,or“performing”revision notes before an exam._20_And,in the process,youll be making your memory stronger for everything.A.Learn through links since memory relies on connections.B.It also boosts confidence and builds lasting memory skills.C.So identify the tricks poets use-rhythm,rhyme and repetition.D.Thus,short poems are good options because they are easily memorized.E.Follow these steps to appreciate poems and enjoy them wherever you are.F.Memory experts believe poetry learning can even cultivate an interest in study.G.Adding gestures and moving around the room can also strengthen your learning.第二部分 语言运用（共两节，满分 45
