Take a look at the following three island countries, they probably will arouse your desire to visit at least once in your lifetime.‎ Malta Malta is a beautiful southern European country in the Mediterranean Sea, which has a rich history and culture. There are amazing sky-high cliffs to climb, splendid temples to explore and lots of wonderful places to go diving. In fact, there are plenty of interesting things to see and to do in Malta and this island country has something for everyone. The historic part of Malta is shown in its incredible architecture, great walled cities, and many underground tunnels.‎ Fiji Fiji has plenty of surprises for any adventurous travelers. It is famous for the world’s best surf scenes, and many surfing enthusiasts travel to Fiji yearly to ride the great waves. Well, if surfing is not for you and you love sitting on the beach and relaxing, hiking or seeing breathtaking waterfalls, Fiji is certainly the best island country to visit.‎ Maldives Not only is Maldives one of the most beautiful island countries, but it is one of the most popular honeymoon destinations. Situated in the middle of the Indian Ocean, Maldives is made up of a series of ancient coral reefs that grow up along the sides of ancient volcanoes, with fascinating beaches and luxurious resorts.‎ ‎41. In Malta, you can_______.‎ A. explore temples and tunnels B. ride the great waves ‎ C. see breathtaking waterfalls D. hike in the hills ‎42. What is the special feature about Fiji?‎ ‎ A. You can take a yacht free in this country.‎ B. It is a surfing enthusiasts’ favorite island country.‎ C. If you once visited it, you wouldn’t like to go there again. ‎ D. There are sky-high cliffs to climb.‎ ‎43. If a newly-married couple are looking for the best honeymoon destination, their ‎ choice will be_________.‎ A. Fiji B. Maldives C. an island in the Mediterranean D. Malta B I had been following the yellowish-green markers for a “popular and easy” three-mile out-and-back hike (远足). Immediately after the trailhead, the trail (小径) became very rocky and steep. But having read about the hike, I knew within five minutes, I was supposed to reach the hike’s first overlook. ‎ However, the overlook never arrived. Instead, I found myself lost in the woods. Pulling out my cellphone, I saw it read “no service”. I checked the last text message I’d sent to my mom. It read: “Conference ended ... going for a small hike before my flight home this afternoon.” I put my phone away and kept moving and yelling: “Help! Is anybody out there?” Every so often, I’d stop to listen, but I never heard a reply. ‎ I got out my phone again. The battery was running out fast as it searched for a signal. I struggled to find a place where I could get service. When I did, I called my mom. It went through! In a shaky voice, I said, “Mom?” and then the call dropped. More than 1,500 miles away, my mom instantly knew something was wrong. She called the Denver Police Department and was directed to the US Forest Service. ‎ This was how I was introduced to John, an operator from the US Forest Service. Following John’s instruction on the phone, I finally escaped from the woods. I breathed a sigh of relief. Then my phone rang, and it was John, making sure I was still going in the right direction. “By the way,” he said, “we’ve had your mother on hold this whole time. So once you get down the mountain, you will absolutely want to give her a call.” ‎ ‎44. What did the author do while finding the trail rocky and steep?‎ ‎ A. He continued walking. B. He returned to the start.‎ ‎ C. He found the first overlook. D. He yelled for help.‎ ‎45. When did the author tell his mom about the hiking?[]‎ ‎ A. After John’s call. B. After a conference.‎ ‎ C. After the call dropped. D. After he got lost.‎ ‎46. How did the author’s mom know he was in danger?‎ ‎ A. The author’s flight didn’t arrive on time. ‎ ‎ B. She learned it from the US Forest Service.‎ ‎ C. She sensed something unusual on the phone. ‎ ‎ D. The author called and told her about it. ‎ ‎47. What can we learn from the last paragraph?‎ ‎ A. The author’s mom was on line waiting. ‎ ‎ B. John lost touch with the author’s mom. ‎ ‎ C. The author went in the wrong direction. ‎ ‎ D. John came to the woods for the author.‎ C Despite being used by 1.34 billion people each year, traveling on the Tube in London can actually be quite lonely. ‎ One citizen, however, is trying to change this. “You get on the Tube and it’s completely silent and it’s weird,” says Jonathan Dunne, who has started a worldwide dialogue after giving out badges (徽章) with the words “Tube chat?” last month, encouraging passengers in London to get talking to one another. “I handed out 500 badges during rush hour in a city of 8 million, expecting most of them to be thrown away, but after about 24 hours it completely snowballed,” he says. Dunne and his “Tube chat” campaign have since been reported by media across the world, seeing TV interviews in Sweden, Brazil and the UK, as well as countless website, newspaper and magazine appearances.‎ Although Dunne says he’s received mostly positive feedback, not everyone agrees with his idea. Londoner Brian Wilson responded with a campaign of his own, handing out 500 badges with the words “Don’t even think about it” on them. Michael Robinson, 24, a student from London, agrees. “Being on the Tube is the only peace and quiet some people get on their journeys to and from work. It doesn’t need to be spoiled by people coming up and chatting to you,” he says.‎ ‎“People assume that I just walk up and talk to strangers, which I don’t, but it’s been a great way to meet people you would never have normally spoken to,” Dunne says. ‎ So if you ever end up using public transport in the West, why not say hello to the person ‎ next to you? Just make sure to check for a badge first.‎ ‎48. How did Dunne encourage London passengers to talk with each other?‎ ‎ A. By advocating his idea on the media.‎ ‎ B. By offering passengers special badges. ‎ ‎ C. By starting a dialogue with passengers.‎ ‎ D. By putting up posters on the tube. ‎ ‎49. How is Dunne’s campaign getting along?‎ ‎ A. It has become a worldwide campaign. ‎ ‎ B. Most passengers have refused to accept it.‎ ‎ C. Wilson has made great efforts to promote it. ‎ ‎ D. It has caught international attention. ‎ ‎50. According to Michael Robinson, what should Tube passengers do?‎ ‎ A. Walk up and talk to strangers. ‎ ‎ B. Stop using public transport.‎ ‎ C. Enjoy the peace quietly. ‎ ‎ D. Hand in their feedback in time.‎ ‎51. What can be the best title for the text?‎ ‎ A. Lonely Travel in London Tube B. Silence on the Tube ‎ ‎ C. Tube Passengers Wearing Badges D. Tube Chat or Not ‎ 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。选项中有两处为多余选项。‎ How to Become More Confident A new article in The Wall Street Journal has given us a deeper understanding of the relationship between what we earn and how we feel. 52 Well, not true. People with higher incomes are happier than those who struggle to get by. To put a smile on your face with your money, you need to spend it strategically. Here are some ways to better spend your bank notes.‎ Buy experiences, not material things.‎ ‎ 53 People think that experiences are only going to provide temporary happiness,‎ ‎ but they actually provide both more happiness and more lasting value that help you better manage your life.‎ ‎ 54 ‎ Anything you buy, including a product you think is special will become just another object. Buying small things can give us frequent small pleasures that are different each time they occur, as they forestall（抢先）adaptation.‎ ‎ 55 ‎ It’s also important to consider how what you’re buying will affect how you spend your time. For example, you may have to spend a very long time on the road if you get a big house in the suburb, which will totally lower overall life satisfaction.‎ Try giving it away.‎ ‎ Elizabeth Dunn, associate professor of psychology at the University of British Columbia in Canada, found that in countries as diverse as Canada, South Africa and Uganda, giving away money consistently made people happier. 56 ‎ ‎ A.
