In poor English, she explained that she was doing an online search for people who shared the same names as members of her family. She tried her 19-year-old brother’s name — Marcus, and that was how she hit upon me. Monica asked me to write back and tell her a little something about myself, which I did.‎ Not long after our first exchanges, Monica’s mother, Regine, wrote to me. Regine’s English was a little better than Monica, so she was able to provide more details about their life in Vienna. She also mentioned that she and her husband Michael were planning their first visit to the US. As motorcycle lovers, they intended to make a ‎ two-wheeled tour of California and the Southwestern states. She wondered if I could tell her something that I thought they should know before they began their great adventure.‎ I spent about an hour putting together what I considered reasonably practical advice and sent it along. Regine wrote back with thanks, and told me if I came to Vienna, I should consider the Gottlieb family home as my own. She even offered me both a room and a key to the house.‎ The Gottliebs eventually made their motorcycle trip and enjoyed every minute of it. Eight months later, I was welcomed to Austria by the Gottlieb family.‎ We got to know each other fairly quickly. Michael and I even seemed to hit it off particularly well. Almost the same age, and sharing a similar sense of humor, we were soon so comfortable with each other.‎ A few days later, Michael, Regine, and I were walking off the big meal we had just had at an open-air restaurant. As we walked and chatted, an older man coming toward us said something in German to Regine. She replied politely, laughing. After he passed by, I asked Regine if the man was a friend.‎ ‎“No,” she said. “He looked at you and Michael and said, ‘It’s nice to see two brothers out for a walk together.’”‎ Brothers? Well — not quite. But perhaps long-lost cousins after all.‎ ‎24. Which of the following helped start the author’s friendship with Monica?‎ A. A stranger.   B. Names. C. Hobbies.   D. A visit.‎ ‎25. Why did Regine write her first e-mail to the author?‎ A. To invite him to join their two-wheeled tour.‎ B. To offer practical advice about his trip to Vienna.‎ C. To ask for some useful information about the US.‎ D. To provide him with information about California.‎ ‎26. Why did the Gottliebs offer the author a key to their house?‎ A. They wanted to thank him.‎ B. He was the real owner of the house.‎ C. They expected to see him immediately.‎ D. He would look after the house for them.‎ ‎27. Which can be used to describe the author’s trip to Vienna?‎ A. Tiring.     B. Boring. C. Fruitless.    D. Pleasant.‎ C There are lots of books designed to help us succeed in our weight-loss efforts. One of the latest such books is entitled Maximise Your Body Potential: Lifetime Skills for Successful Weight Management, and is written by psychologist Joyce Nash, Ph.D.‎ Dr. Nash presents some interesting statistics which show that, despite the fact that as a country we are growing fatter, at any given time, tens of millions of Americans are dieting. A quarter of all adult men and nearly half of all adult women are actively trying to lose weight.‎ She categorizes (分类) the different stages that generally happen before the decision to try to lose weight. “Those who aren’t actively dieting and are just talking about it, are stuck in either what’s called the contemplation stage or the preparation stage.‎ The contemplation stage is the one in which you want to change, but you are not quite ready; you can think of both the pros and cons of changing, but they balance each other out. In the preparation stage, you know you want to take action, you realize the pros of weight loss outweigh the cons, but you aren’t sure how to begin.”‎ Believe it or not, Dr. Nash even says that now is not always the right time to begin a weight-loss program. “If you jump into the action stage before you’ve done enough thinking in the preparation stage — deciding when to do this, how to do this, and what the potential barriers are — then you can actually set yourself up for failure. That’s when people who start a diet fall off it, and pretty soon arrive at the notion, ‘I can’t do this. I’m a failure. I’ll never be able to do this.’”‎ Surprisingly, Dr. Nash says that about one-third of all the people who come to see a psychologist such as herself, for help with an eating disorder, are binge eaters, and they are usually overweight.‎ Dr. Nash explains that binge eating is “eating an amount of food that is larger than most people would eat under similar situations, and an experience of not being able to stop it or control it.”‎ ‎28. According to Dr. Nash, more and more Americans _____.‎ A. are asking her for help B. are living a healthy life C. realize they need to lose weight D. succeed in their weight-loss efforts ‎29. Which of the following descriptions is about the contemplation stage?‎ A. It refers to how to balance the pros and cons.‎ B. It usually happens before the preparation stage.‎ C. It’s usually more important than the action stage.‎ D. It’s a time when people always trust themselves.‎ ‎30. What can we learn about Dr. Nash?‎ A. She has an eating disorder.‎ B. She used to be overweight.‎ C. She has a very small stomach.‎ D. She offers psychological guidance.‎ ‎31. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?‎ A. To help people start a diet.‎ B. To show how to lose weight.‎ C. To present a weight-loss program.‎ D. To introduce a new book on weight loss.‎ D Were you into skateboarding, surfing or snowboarding when you were a kid? We can remember our first (less than successful) go at skateboarding, as well as the first time we managed to stand up on one of those surfboards.‎ It was so much fun that we were hooked for life. However, not everyone thinks that introducing children to extreme sports is a good idea.‎ In the article from The New York Times, writer Jon Lackman considers whether sports like snowboarding, climbing and skateboarding could be dangerous to the growing bodies of young children and looks for advice from medical professionals.‎ ‎“Kids aren’t mentally ready for these activities,” says professor of orthopaedics (矫形外科), Dr. Vani Sabesan. “They tend to underestimate (低估) the risks, and their parents can’t always be trusted to keep them in check.”‎ Sabesan is particularly worried about the effects of extreme sports on TV and the Internet on children. “What we’re seeing is a lot of kids thinking maybe they can do what these professional athletes can do.”‎ As someone who was encouraged to give bodyboarding a go by the age of five and then presented with a surfboard aged seven, I think these worries are a little overstated  (夸大的),  if not misplaced.‎ Extreme sports can be dangerous, yes, but there’s as much chance of falling off your bike or your roller skates as off a skateboard or surfboard.‎ My own experience of extreme sports leads me to think that I’ll allow my own kids to try them in the same way my parents allowed me.‎ In sports such as surfing and snowboarding, there’s a sense of adventure and courage that is important to instill (慢慢灌输) in young children.‎ Did I fall off my surfboard? All the time. Did I get back on? Every time.‎ Are the more extreme sports too dangerous for younger kids and better saved for teenagers? Are extreme sports a great experience for all children to have and a great way to make the most out of your childhood?‎ ‎32. What does the underlined word “hooked” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?‎ A. Warned.  B. Cheated .C. Attracted.  D. Confused.‎ ‎33. What’s Jon Lackman’s attitude towards kids taking part in extreme sports?‎ A. Amazed.  B. Doubtful .C. Admiring.  D. Supportive.‎ ‎34. What did the author’s parents expect him to do when he was very young?‎ A. To have a spirit of adventure.‎ B. To set a good example to others.‎ C. To become a professional athlete.‎ D. To get away from extreme sports.‎ ‎35. What does the author think of extreme sports?‎ A. They are really very dangerous for kids.‎ B. They are as easy to learn as roller skating.‎ C. They are helpful for kids to find their courage.‎ D. They are more suitable for teenagers than kids.‎ 第二节（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。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ The night the Titanic sank From a high place on the ship, Fred Fleet, who worked on the Titanic, saw the iceberg (冰山) just a few hundred metres away. He rang the bell to warn the people driving the ship.  36  Soon after that, one passenger, Major Peuchen, noticed that the ship wasn’t straight in the water. But nobody listened to him.‎ ‎ 37  Another ship — the Californian was about 30 kilometres north of the Titanic. When the Californian saw the iceberg, it stopped. It also sent a radio message to warn other ships in the area. At about 11:15, the Californian’s radio operator turned off the radio, and went to bed. The Titanic sent a message back giving its position — wrongly!  38  ‎ Soon after midnight, the crew (船员) of the Californian saw rockets going up into the sky from the Titanic.
