10、, showed up with a truck filled with camping equipmenttents, sleeping bags, and water bottles, We were going on survival training!The ever-efficient Leo was keen to leave the city behind us and urged us to hurry. Several hours later, as we drove through the forest, the mountains seemed bigger than I

11、 remembered; the trees were larger, and the environment felt more threatening.At the trailhead, Leo tied a sleeping bag onto my already heavy pack and lectured Allen and me about hiking rules. Then, with Leo in the lead, we set off along the narrow and steep dirt track that wound up the mountain.Aft

12、er 6 hours of climbing, we finally reached the top. My legs aching, I dropped my pack and groaned but there was no time to rest. We need to set up camp quickly, said Leo. There are dark clouds coming in. A storms on its way.I thought he was kidding, but Leo was quite serious. He and Allen worked exp

13、ertly, while I stood around and pretended to help, thunder rumbling in the distance. We just finished putting up the tents when it hit. The wind, thunder, and lightning were relentless.Leo, sensing that I was scared, started telling us some stories about his camping adventures. But each time lightni

14、ng lit up the tent and the thunder echoed, I jumped. Dont worry. Summer storms pass quickly, Leo said trying to comfort me. And at least the rain will keep the bears away, he said with a teasing smile, which was less comforting.And just as quickly as the storm came rushing in, it passed, and we exit

15、ed the tent. The view was incredible I could see for miles.

19、insufficient sleep and tiredness increase a persons risk of developing severe medical conditions, such as obesity (being very overweight), high blood sugar levels, and heart disease. Now, a new study has found that getting sufficient sleep is also the key to improving academic performance.Jeffrey Gr

20、oss, the university science professor who led the research, was not trying to find the relationship between sleep and grades when he handed out smart watches to the 100 students in his chemistry class. Instead, the professor hoped the wrist-worm devices, which track a persons physical activity, woul

21、d show a connection between exercise and academic achievement.While Grosss data showed no relationship between these two factors, the study found something surprising. As the researchers were analyzing their data, they noticed that there was a straight-line relationship between the average amount of

22、 sleep a student got and their results in the courses 11 quizzes, three midterm tests, and the final exam. Even more interesting, it was not sufficient for students to just head to bed early the night before a test. Instead, its the sleep you get during the days when learning is happening that matte

23、rs most.The time students went to bed each night was similarly important. Those who went to bed in early hours of the morning performed poorly, even if the total sleep time was the same as a higher-performing student. When you go to bed matters, Gross says, If you go to bed at 10, or 12, or 1 at nig

24、ht, and sleep for seven hours, your performance is the same. But if you go to bed after 2, your performance starts to go down even if you get the same seven hours. So, quantity isnt everything.Perhaps the most interesting was the huge impact that small differences in sleep patterns had on the studen

25、ts grades. The overall course grades for students averaging six and a half hours of sleep each night were 25% lower than students who averaged just one hour more sleep. Similarly, students who varied their bedtime by even one hour each night had grades that dropped 45% below those with more regular

A person who has a good nights sleep the night before an important test.B. A person whose normal bedtime varies between 9 p.m. and 12 p.m.C. A person who sleeps from

29、 11 p.m. to 6 a.m. each day.D. A person who sleeps for a total of 7 hours each night.DHow affordable is high culture? One great myth of our time is that tickets for opera, theatre, ballet and orchestral (管弦乐) concerts are too expensive, especially for the young. This is infuriating as, in Britain, a

30、t least, the claim is ridiculous and offensive. The cheap tickets to hear Londons orchestras range from 7 to 9 same as a cinema ticket, and lower than the entry price to many pop music and comedy clubs. For comparison, when the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra performs with top soloists and conduc

31、tors the cheapest seat is 30; and at the Berlin Philharmonic, its an expensive 46.Finding cheap tickets to the opera and ballet isnt so easy. True. British companies dont charge the ridiculous high prices found on the Continent (2,000 for a good seat at a premiere of La Scalas Carmen last December),

32、 but the tickets are still pretty steep. Large fees paid to star performers mostly account for that. Luckily, however, one spectacular techmological innovation has transformed the scene. Its live (or slightly delayed) cinema transmissions. The New York Metropolitan Opera now beams its shows to 800 c

33、inemas round the world, and British companies arent far behind. Cinematic opera is excellent value. For the cost of a good bottle of wine (10 or 15 for the Royal Opera Houses shows) you can sit in your local movie-house and see a high-definition relay of whats occurring on the worlds grandest stages

34、. No, its not the same as being there, but its almost as good. The sound is incredible. The images, particularly of dancers, are fantastic. And you can react to the show as part of a live audience, rather than sitting on your own at home.To me, this mountain of evidence, together with free museum ad

35、missions, indicates that the arts world should stop worrying that its audiences are still mostly middle-class. Anyone who can afford to visit a pub can also afford to see top-quality drama, music and dance. The real battle now should be ensuring that school children are given enough tastes of high c

36、ulture to make them want to buy all those cheap tickets when they grow up.32. What does the underlined word infuriating in paragraph 1 mean?A. Quite interesting.B. Very annoying.C. Not certain.D. Extremely obvious.33. What is the main reason for expensive opera tickets?A. The amount of money charged

37、 by top performers.B. The costly technology required for broadcast.C. The demand of companies for big profits.D. The high cost of renting the stages.34. Which of the follow ing is true about cinematic opera?A. People can decide where to watch the opera.B Audiences are discouraged from responding to

38、The performances.C. It provides an inexpensive way of enjoying a live opera performance.D. The sound and visual quality are superior to the live performance.35. Which statement would the author agree with?A. The quality of opera performances is improving.B. High culture is becoming more affordable i

Children should be encouraged to participate in high culture events.弟二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项多余。Learning to understand spoken English can be difficult. Learners must not only master new sou

40、nds, but also learn conversational idioms. Thats a let to learn! But they may soon realize there is something else going on. 36 These different styles of speaking are called registers. In their work, language experts identify three major factors that affect the register of spoken English: the place

41、of the conversation, the relationship of the speakers, and the purpose of the conversation. 37 Even two best friends who work and live together may speak more formally to each other in the office. At home, one might say, Cmon, I wanna leave. The same person at work might say, Are you ready to go now

42、?The relationship of the speakers also affects the language they use with each other. People speak less formally to friends and more formally to strangers. 38 People who know each other well might use more idioms and more slang in their speech. An angry woman might tell her daughter to hush your mou

43、th and her sister to quiet down.Finally, the purpose of the conversation affects peoples speech. A person who want to ease hurt feelings uses a soft, quiet tone. 39 Few speakers realize that they change registers according to these factors. 40 We are not aware that we make these changes. We accept t

44、he changeability of the weather, but we often refuse to accept the changeability of speech.A. In fact, most people strongly deny it.B. People generally speak less at work than they do at home.C. The very same person speaks differently in different situations.D. Therefore, we should be careful not to

45、 hurt each other with our speech.E. On the other hand, a person who wants to pick a fight speaks rapidly and loudly.F. The place where the conversation takes place directly affects the language of the conversationG. Because they already share information and experience with friends, they do not need
