            • 1. In the depths of the French Guianese rainforest,there still remain unusual groups of indigenous(土著的) people.Surprisingly,these people live largely by their own laws and their own social customs.And yet,people in this area are in fact French citizens because it has been a colony(殖民地) of the French Republic since 1946.In theory,they should live by the French law is often ignored or unknown,thus making them into an interesting area of“lawlessness”in the world.
              The lives of these people have finally been recorded thanks to the effects of a Frenchman from Paris called Gin.Gin spent five months in early 2015 exploring the most remote corners of this area,which sits on the edge of the Amazon rainforest,with half its population of only 250,000living in its capital,Cayenne.
              “I have a special love for the French Guianese people.I have worked there on and off for almost ten years,”says Gin.“I’ve been able to keep firm friendships with them.Thus I have been allowed to gain access to their living environment.I don’t see it as a lawless land.But rather I see it as an area of freedom.”
              “I wanted to show the audience a photographic record touching upon the uncivilized life,”continues Gin.“I prefer to work in black and white,which allows me to show different specific worlds more clearly.”
              His black-and-white pictures present a world almost lost in time.These pictures show people seemingly pushed into a world that they were unprepared for.These local citizens now have to balance their traditional self-supporting hunting lifestyle with the lifestyle offered by the modern French Republic,which brings with it not only necessary state welfare,but also alcoholism,betrayal and even suicide.

              28.Why does the author feel surprised about the indigenous people in French Guiana?    
              A.They seldom follow the French law.
              B.They often ignore the Guianese law.
              C.They are separated from the modern world.
              D.They are both Guianese and French citizens.
              29.Gin introduced the special world of the indigenous Guianese as    
              A.a tour guide
              B.a geographer
              C.a film director
              D.a photographer

              A.Cautious.
              B.Doubtful.
              C.Uninterested.

              31.What does the underlined word“it”in the last paragraph refer to?    
              A.The modern French lifestyle.
              B.The self-supporting hunting.
              C.The uncivilized hunting.

            • 2. I've recently returned from a trip to China where Starbucks signed two historic Memoranda of Understanding to invest (投资) in growing high-quality coffee in Yunnan Province.We'll be cooperating with the People's Government of Pu'er City (Yunnan Province) and the Yunnan Academy of Agricultural Sciences.These agreements signal cooperation between Starbucks and China to revolutionize the Chinese coffee market and help local farmers there grow new,high-quality coffees that are sure to be prized throughout the world.
              Although we will continue to buy coffees from many countries,this opportunity allows us to help build China's specialty coffee market.We'll open another Farmer Support Center,manage a base farm to grow coffee for production.We will also operate wet and dry factories.Between the agriculturists and partners with years of leadership in the coffee industry,we have the experience necessary to be very successful.I am excited about the great opportunity this partnership represents.
              But what's even more rewarding is the opportunity to give back to the farmers in this area.During my visit,I met with 156excited farmers who represent the 27ethnic tribes (少数民族) that live in the rural area of Yunnan.This is the ideal region with the perfect climate for growing specialty coffee in China.The area is Pu'er,known for its beauty and also its wonderful teas.
              We are looking forward to this historic partnership with the Chinese government and Yunnan farmers.For us,this will be a market with huge potential for growth.For the farmers,this means hope for a brighter,more stable business that respects the people and the land of this area.
              We are doing something truly special.In just a few short years,we will reinvent the coffee business in China and bring an awareness of Yunnan coffee to the rest of the world.

              32.What seems to be a big piece of news to Yunnan Province?    
              A.There will be a coffee show in Yunnan.
              B.Two Memoranda of Understanding are signed on coffee-planting.
              C.Pu'er City has got a big prize in the world.
              D.High-quality coffees have been found in Yunnan.
              33.What is the reason that Yunnan is chosen to cooperate with?    
              A.The perfect climate.
              B.So much cheap labor.
              C.Many ethnic tribes.
              D.Rich experience in farm work.
              34.Why does the author say it is a historic partnership?

            • 3. One moment it was quiet and calm in the forest,the next,the air was charged with tension.The elephant had heard the distant alarm calls of animals and her mood suddenly changed.I urged the elephant deeper into the forest.We sounded like a forest fire-crackling,snapping,trailblazing.But through all the noise came a sharp wanting cry.The elephant stopped and we heard it again-the tell-tale call of a spotted deer.
              I looked quickly mound the shadows of the forest.Rays of sunlight shone through tree branches,beneath which the patchwork (交错) of green plants and shadow-within-shadows would make tiger stripes (条纹) look more attractive.Apart from an occasional noise from the elephant's stomach,the forest wins silent.
              Gradually,the tension slipped from our bodies.The elephant seized a nearby branch and put it into her mouth.I roached forward and gently moved my hand over the elephant's neck; there was a soft part,free of wrinkles and hairs,behind her ear.
              This was my fourth time to sense the aura of the forest in Corbett,although I saw no tigers in the end.Located at the foot of the Himalayan mountains,Corbett is home to about 135Bengal tigers,but the forest seemed to be guarding their whereabouts( 出没处),a silent reminder of their secrecy and rarity.Still,I was happy enough touching the elephant behind the ear.If I had so desperately wanted to see a tiger,I could have gone to a zoo.After all,spotting tigers mealy confirms their beauty; backing them can make you aware of something more.
              48.Which of the following was a clear signal of alarm?    
              A.The elephant stopped.
              B.A spotted deer called.
              C.The elephant seized a branch.
              D.The forest was silent for a while.
              49.The author begins his account of the tour in the forest mainly by    
              A.describing various sounds
              B.comparing different animals
              C.listing different activities
              D.introducing various plants
              50.What does the underlined part“to sense the aura“most probably mean?    
              A.To see the diversity.
              B.To enjoy the scenery.
              C.To feel the atmosphere.
              D.To experience the freedom.
              51.How does the author feel after several visits to Corbett?    
              A.Seeing a Bengal tiger is quite thrilling.
              B.It is very time-consuming to travel in Corbett.
              C.It is really worthwhile to study the animals in Corbett.
              D.The process of finding Bengal tigers is most appealing.
            • 4. San Diego Summer
              The summer after my second year in high school,I finally had the opportunity to live with my super-cool sister in San Diego for three weeks.It was going to be great!I would lie on the beach in the sun.Perhaps I would surf a little or ride my bike around Coronado Island.
              Meanwhile,I would spend every morning,Monday through Friday,teaching YMCA (Young Men's Christian Association) kids how to play tennis…for FREE.Since college wasn't too far off,and since I had practically zero hours of community service,my volunteering at the YMCA was smart.I like tennis and I even kind of like little kids.Anyway,life was going to be amazing for those three weeks.
              On my first day at the YMCA,I was shocked by the smallness of the children.The kids could barely grasp a racket(球拍),let alone swing one.This is when it occurred to me how potentially terrible the situation was-a group of thirty small children with rackets in hand and only four coaches.The odds were definitely against us.Luckily,the kids did not have blood on their minds,and they were relatively obedient and cooperative.
              It soon became painfully obvious that I was the only"coach"actually coaching.Rather ironic when one considered that I was the only one of the four NOT being paid.I must admit,however,that despite all of my efforts these children were not getting much.I had to keep telling myself that while I couldn't enjoy the fruits of my labor at the moment,I would be reveling in the benefits once college application time came.Thus,I soldiered on
              As I returned home the day before the opening of school,I had complete peace of mind.Although I did not spend every day at the beach as I had initially hoped to do,I did accomplish several things and I felt as if I were a better person because of my three weeks in San Diego.

              56.Before going to San Diego the author was full of    
              A.expectation     B.confidence       C.doubt       D.curiosity
              57.The author taught YMCA kids to play tennis because she    
              A.loved small children and was active as a volunteer
              B.must do community service to be admitted to college
              C.wanted to earn some money to pay for her college fees
              D.would like to do something for others as a sincere Christian
              58.The underlined words"I soldiered on"reflect the author's    
              A.desire to join the army
              B.love for teaching tennis
              C.control for young learner
              D.determination not to give up
              59.According to the last paragraph,we can predict that the author will     in the future.
              A.become a teacher
              B.move to the beach
              C.play tennis professionally
              D.help others more willingly.

              The settingfor the festival adds to its beauty.Cannes is located on the French Riviera,which enjoys an average of 12 hours of sunshine a day in May and has mild winters.The festival benefits from the weather and all the usual attractions can be seen.at the festival.Cannes is also famous for its luxury restaurants and shops.It's not unusual to be sitting in a restaurant and to look across at the next table and see film stars and directors with their friends.

            • 6. Friday,December 30,2011 has been cut for the tiny South Pacific island nation,Samoa as it moved its time zone 24 hours ahead to catch up with Asia,New Zealand and Australia. On New Year's Eve,Samoa will Slave jumped to the west of the international dateline,which runs through the Pacific Ocean and broadly follows the 180 degree line of longitude (经线).
              Its Prime Minister said it would make it easier for Samoa to trade with their key partners."No longer shall we have people ringing us up on Monday from New Zealand and Australia thinking it is Monday when we are closing our eyes and praying at churches.And in the same way,on our Fridays when we ring up and already our contacts are holidaying on their Saturdays,"he told Radio New Zealand on Friday.
              To help win public support,the government declared employers must still pay workers for the missing Friday,although banks will not be allowed to charge interest for the lost day.
              Countries are free to choose whether the dateline passes to the east or west,and Samoa's decision means all new maps will need to change.But some tourism operators are worried Samoa will lose business by losing its position as the last place on earth to see the sunset each day,although it is now one of the first places to see in each new day.
              Samoa,a country of about 180,000 people,used to be in the same time zone as New Zealand and Australia,but went back a day in 1892,celebrating July 4 twice and aligning itself with the United States.The date change is not the first major change in Samoa in recent years.In 2009,the country switched to driving on the left hand side of the road from the right hand side,in line with New Zealand and Australia.
              71.Samoa moved its time zone 24 hours ahead to       
                 A.trade with the United States
                  B.be the first place to see in each new day
                  C.follow the international dateline
                  D.be in the same time zone as Australia
              72.Which of the following is true according to the text?    
              A.It's Monday now in Samoa while it is Sunday in America.
                  B.Samoa once had a date change about 200 years ago.
                  C.Samoa and America are now in the same time zone.
                  D.In Samoa,cars move on the right hand side of the road.
              73.On the missing Friday,___ in Samoa,    
                  A.banks still charged interest      B.all the people had a day off
                  C.workers still got paid            D.all celebrated New Year's Eve
              74.The underlined word"aligning"in the last paragraph possibly means    
                  A.celebrating     B.adjusting        C.moving           D.trading

                  B.The first nation to greet New Year.
                  C.A new neighbor of Australia.

            • 7. The coast of the State of Maine is one of the most irregular in the world.A straight line running from the southernmost coastal city to the northernmost coastal city would measure about 225miles.If you followed the coastline between these points,you would travel more than ten times as far.This irregularity is the result of what is called a drowned coastline.The term comes from the glacial(冰川的)activity of the Ice Age.At that time,the whole area that is now Maine was part of a mountain range that towered above the sea.As the glacier descended,however,it applied enormous force on those mountains,and they sank into the sea.
              As the mountains sank,ocean water charged over the lowest parts of the remaining land.And the highest parts of the former mountain range,nearest the shore,remained as islands.Marine fossils found here are 225feet above sea level indicating the level of the shoreline prior to the glacier.
              The 2,500-mile-long rocky and jagged coastline of Maine keeps watch over nearly 2,000islands.Many of these islands are tiny and uninhabited,but many are home to blooming communities.Mt.Desert Island is one of the largest,most beautiful of the Maine coast islands left behind by the glacier.Measuring 16miles by 12miles,Mt.Desert was very nearly formed as two distinct islands.It is split almost in half by Somes Sound,a very deep and very narrow stretch of water seven miles long.
              For years,Mt.Desert Island,particularly its major settlement,Bar Harbor,has afforded summer homes for the wealthy.Recently,though,Bar Harbor has become a new arts community as well.But the best part of the island is the unspoiled forest land known as Acadia National Park.Since the island sits on the border between two different geographical zones,the park supports the plants and animals of both zones.It also lies in a major bird migration lane and is a resting spot for many birds.
              The establishment of Acadia National park in 1916 means that this natural monument will be preserved and that it will be available to all people,not just the wealthy.Visitors to Acadia may receive nature instruction from the park naturalists as well as enjoy camping,hiking,cycling,and boating.Or they may choose to spend time at the museum learning about the Stone Age inhabitants of the island.

              C.Mt.Desert Island has been broken apart by a 7-mile-long water stretch
              D.an arts community gave way to the summer homes on Mt.Desert Island
              74.What CANNOT be inferred about the Acadia Nation Park?    
              A.It welcomes all the people,rich or poor.
              B.It has much appeal for bird-watching lovers.

            • 8. The recent,apparently successful,prediction by mathematical models of an appearance of El Nino-the warm ocean How that periodically develops along the Pacific coast of South America has excited researchers.Jacob Bjerknes pointed out years ago how winds might create either abnormally warm or abnormally cold water in the eastern equatorial (赤道附近的) Pacific.Nevertheless,before the creation of the models,no one could explain why conditions should regularly change between appearances of the warm El Nino and the so-called anti-El Nino.The answer,at least if the current model that links the behavior of the ocean to that of the atmosphere is correct,is to be found in the ocean.
                       It has long been known that during an El Nino,two conditions exist:unusually warm water extends along the eastern Pacific and winds blow from the west into the warmer air rising over the warm water in the east.The contribution of the model is to show that the winds of an El Nino,which raise sea level in the east,send a signal to the west lowering sea level at the same time.According to the model,that signal is created as a negative (负的) Rossby wave,a wave of lower sea level,that moves westward parallel to the equator at 25 to 85 kilometers per day.Taking months to move across the Pacific,Rossby waves march to the western boundary of the Pacific basin,which is modeled as a smootli wall but in reality consists of quite irregular island chains.
                       When the waves meet the western boundary,they are reflected,and the model predicts that Rossby waves will be broken into many coastal Kelvin waves carrying the same negative sea-level signal.These eventually shoot toward the equator,and then head eastward along the equator drove by the earth at a.speed of about.250 kilometers per day.When enough Kelvin waves of adequate amplitude (振幅) arrive from the western Pacific,their negative sea-level signal overcomes the feedback mechanism,raising the sea level,and they begin to drive the system into the opposite cold mode.This produces a gradual change in winds,one that will eventually send positive sea-level Rossby waves westward,waves that will eventually return as cold cycle-ending positive Kelvin waves beginning another warming cycle.
              67.What is the passage mainly about?    
              A.How Rossby waves are found.
              B.Where El Nino is formed.

              68.Where does El Nino often appear?    
              A.Along the western coast of the USA.
              B.In the Pacific in the south,of the equator.
              C.In the Pacific in the north of the equator.
              D.Along the southern coast of South America.
              69.What is right according to the passage?    
              A.Rossby waves and Kelvin waves move in opposite directions along the equator.

            • 9. The largest earthquake(magnitude里氏9.5)of the 20th century happened on May 22,
              1960off the coast of South Central Chile.
              It generated(生成)one of the most destructive Pacific-wide tsunamis(海啸).Near the generating area,both the earthquake and the tsunamis were very much destructive,particularly in the coastal area from Concepcion to the south end of Isia Chiloe.The largest tsunamis damage occurred at Isia Chiloe-the coastal area closest to the epicenter(震中).Huge tsunamis waves measuring as high as 25meters arrived within 10to15minute after the earthquake,killing at least two hundred people,sinking all the boats,and flooding half a kilometer inland.
              There was large damage and loss of life at Concepcion,Chile's top industrial cry.Near the city of Valdivia,the earthquake and following aftershocks generated landslides which killed 18people.At the port city of Valparaiso,a city of 200,000,many buildings collapsed.A total of 130,000houses were destroyed-one in every three in the earthquake zone and nearly 2,000,000people were left homeless.
              Total damage losses,including to agriculture and to industry,were estimated(估计)to be over a half billion dorms.The total number of death related with both the tsunamis and the earthquake was never found accurately for the region estimates of deaths reached between 490to 5,7002with no distinction(差别)as to how many deaths were caused by the earthquake and how many were caused by the tsunami.However.it is believed that most of the deaths in Chile were caused by the tsunamis.

              61.Where did the largest tsunamis damage occurred?    
              A.Concepcion   B.Isia Chiloe

            • 10. Barcelona is regarded as Spain's second largest city,behind capital Madrid.The city is rich in history.Barcelona
              was founded by Carthaginians (迦太基人) and according to tradition,it got its name from the great Barker family of ancient Carpage.After numerous different conquers,including theRomans and the Moores that seriously damaged the city,
              the Argons made Catalonia,of which Barcelona was the capital strong and prosperous (繁荣的).Since the 1970s,the city has formed its Catalonian background.But it wasn't until the summer Olympics in 1992that Barcelona became the modern,lively city that it still is today.And with this prosperity have come wonderful hotels.The Raewon Callas the 1st was opened in 1992,by the King and Queen of Spain.
              What are the attractions of coming to Barcelona?
              There are many,many different attractions:culture,our architectures,and the gastronomy (美食).Barcelona has commercial areas and shopping areas of five kilometers that goes around to the sea to the north.You can also see our architectures,our monuments,our museums and our restaurants.So there is a mix between shopping and services.
              No visit to the city would be complete without a tour of the Nou Camp,the home of one of Spain's finest teams,Barcelona Football Club.FC Barcelona was founded in 1899along with the other Spanish team,Real Madrid.It's one of the greatest football teams in Europe.With players like Maradona and Ronaldo having played for Barca,it's easy to explain their success!FC Barcelona is known to have won more cups than any other team in European football history.The stadium,the Nou Camp,can hold one hundred and twelve thousand people,making it one of the greatest places to watch and play"the beautiful game".
              29.The first paragraph is mainly about the     of Barcelona.
              A.history                
              B.famous buildings
              C.big events                
              D.hotels
              30.In the last paragraph,the author intends to    
              A.highly praise Barcelona Football Club
              B.tell us how to end our tour in Barcelona
              C.tell us another great attraction of Barcelona
              D.tell us the great success of Spanish football
              31.This passage is most probably taken from    
              A.a history book          
              B.a government document
              C.a geography book                
              D.a travel book.
