a couple of times,but I could hardly claim to know my way around the continent.Moreover,my knowledge of foreign languages was limited to a little college French.I hesitated.How would I,unable to speak the language,totally unfamiliar with local geography or transportation system？It seemed impossible,and with considerable regret.Suddenly a thought ran through my mind:you cant learn if you dont try.So I accepted the assignment.There were some bad moments.But by the time I had finished the trip I was an experienced traveler.And ever since,I have never hesitated to head for even the most remote of places,without guides or even advanced bookings,confident that somehow I will manage.The point is that the new,along with the different,is almost scary by definition.But each time you try something,you learn,and as the learning piles up,the world opens to you.Ive learned to ski at 40,and flown up the Rhine River in a balloon.And I know Ill go on doing such things.Its not because Im braver or more daring than others.Im not.But Ill accept anxiety as another name for challenge and I believe I can accomplish wonders.4.The author accepted the assignment because_.A.he had never

Monday in Danbury,Connecticut.He was 73.Steinmans brother Billconfirmed that the cause of death was kidney(肾)failure.A statement posted on Steinmans Facebook page read,“Its with a heavy heart that I can confirm Jims passing.There will be much more to say in the coming hours and days as we prepare to honor this giant of a human being and his glorious legacy.”Steinmans wholly unique career found him working as a composer,lyricist,and producer for many artists in a variety of styles.According to a biography on his website,the records hes worked on have sold more than 190 million copies worldwide.He was nominated(提名)for four Grammys,and won Album of the Year for his work on Dions 1996 smash,Falling Into You.Steinman began his career in a musical theater while in college,writing and starring in a rock musical calledThe Dream Engine,which gained the attentionof New York theatrical producer Joe Papp.After graduating,Steinman worked at the Public Theater(which was established by Papp).In 1973,Yvonne Elliman recorded Steinmans song“Happy Ending”,which became Steinmans first commercially released tune.That same year,the Public Theater staged his musicalMore Than You Deserve.One of the actors who auditioned forMore Than You Deservewas Meat Loaf,and he and Steinman soon struck up a close personal and professional relationship.The two began working on Meat Loafs solo album,Bat Out of Hell,in the early 70s,but it wouldnt be released until 1977.It wasnt until about one year later after Meat Loaf performed onSaturday Night Live that the album became a hit.“There is no other songwriter ever like him,”Meat Loaf said.“I can never repay him.He has been such an influence,in fact,the biggest influence on my life,and I learned so much from him that there would be no way I could

Loaf.D.He won four Grammys in the course of his career.D As summer approaches,many kids and teenagers may find that they have more time in hand.One great way to make use of the extra time is to go on an adventure and travel.Clearly,I am not a naturally adventurous person,but I have found that takingthe risk and challenging myself to explore and travel to unfamiliar places can be a very rewarding experience.Because I am usually quite busy during the school year,most of my travels take place during the summer.Over the past few summers,I have hiked in the Grand Canyon,explored Niagara Falls,and camped out in upstate New York.Although these experiences are varied,they are similar in that they instill(灌输)a sense of appreciation for nature and a more balanced view on life.When I hiked in the Grand Canyon,for example,I was in awe(敬畏)of the geological influences that shaped the canyon.Adventures,of course,are not limited to hiking.There are many other choices,such as camping,volunteering in a foreign environment and travelling to different countries.In my opinion,adventures are more enjoyable with family or a few friends.There is a sense of bonding that one only gets through spending time together in outdoor adventures.For example,when I was in Boy Scouts,I often went on weekend camping trips with my friends.When I came back from a Boy Scouts camping trip,I often was eager to go outside more and explore the parks and nature around me.Next fall,I will attend college.In the meantime though,I hope to make the most of my summer to explore and travel.Now,I am planning on hiking and camping out in Maine.When I visited Maine last fall,I was amazed by how beautiful it was and the tall trees and coasts that exist,and I really hope to enjoy the beauty of nature there this summer.12.We can learn from the first paragraph about the author?A.He is an adventurous person by nature B.He likes challenging himself by travelling C.He enjoys travelling with other adventurers D He

places.C.Travelling withtheir family or friends.D.Travelling to distant places by themselves.14.What will the author do this summer？A.Explore Niagara Falls.B.Hike in the Grand Canyons.C.Camp out in upstate New York.D.Hike and camp out in Maine.15.Who is probably the author?A.A high school student.B.A college student.C.A friendly guide.D.A warm-hearted teacher.第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10
