What’s more, I would do it without taking any flights or making a single advance reservation of any kind. My announcement drew mixed reactions from my friends. Some offered support and encouragement, while others were more doubtful.[]‎ ‎ Once I’d said the words, there was no turning back. It took months to shut down my law practice and get things in order. Once I set off on my adventure in December 2008, I found that travelling without using planes was not easy. Trying to circle the globe in 16 months (it took me a bit longer than the initial 12 months I planned) made it even tougher. Even so, travelling overland was the most awe-inspiring way to truly understand the immensity of our wonderful planet.‎ ‎ I took three consecutive (连续) overnight buses to travel ‎3,000km through Argentina, from Ushuaia, the world’s southernmost city, to the capital Buenos Aires. I would look out the windows for hours on end at ‎ the completely unspoiled plains, as if humans had never touched it.‎ ‎ It took seven consecutive days and nights on trains to get from Moscow to Beijing, each day spent gazing out the windows for hours as the Siberian plains swept by.  Sometimes, I wouldn’t see a village or a human being for 10 hours. Later in my journey, it took 22 days on a cargo freighter to get from New Zealand through the Panama Canal and back to Philadelphia, to finish my round-the-world adventure. ‎ ‎ It turned out that travelling with no reservations was far less difficult than I had imagined. Pulling into a city on a bus with a backpack, looking in a guidebook for a few suggestions of accommodations, and then finding an empty room was never much of a problem anywhere. It also kept me flexible and open about all my travel plans, which is advice I give everyone who asks – plan far less than you think you should.‎ ‎21. The author’s trip was special in that _______.‎ A. he made it at the expense of giving up his job ‎ B. it hardly cost him anything C. he did not make advance booking or travel by air ‎ D. it was a global trip ‎22.

Unfortunately, bees are dying by the second. ‎ The main purpose of bees is to make honey. Honey, shockingly, does not exist for human consumption, it is essential to the insects. Honeybees store honey in their hives (蜂巢) in order for the bees to have energy for their flight muscles and for heating the hive during the winter period. They collect pollen (花粉) which supplies protein for young bees to grow. ‎ According to Honey.com, the increased production and quality of agricultural crops as a result of honey bee pollination is valued at more than $14.6 billion per year. These insects are responsible for over 70 of the fruits and vegetables we eat today, including apples, grapes, coffee, beans, and broccoli. ‎ So if they are so valuable to agriculture, why do they keep dying off? A key suspect seems to be pesticides. Honeybees who are exposed to pesticides result in the damage to their neurological (神经的) functions, specifically memory or behavior. And that's why the majority of worker bees disappear and leave behind a queen, plenty of food and a few nurse bees to care for the remaining immature bees and the queen. There are several other causes to the decline of bees, including the destruction of natural habitat, like woodlands, forests, and other habitats for bees. Climate change is also a factor in the decline of the wild bee population. ‎ Actually, there are a variety of methods to help the bee population grow. One way is to start your own organic garden by planting bee-friendly plants. Pesticides are used in both industrial practices and even in your home, so it is best to find organic seeds and weed killers. ‎ ‎29. Why do honeybees store honey in their hives? ‎ A. To provide enough honey for human to consume.‎ B. To draw protein out of honey for young bees.‎ C. To help attract other insects and make hives stronger.‎ D. To strengthen bee muscles and heat hives in winter.‎ ‎30. What is most likely to cause the worker bees to leave their hives behind? ‎ A. The lack of food. B. The abuse of pesticides.‎ C. The fighting among bees. D. The destruction of the habitats.‎ ‎31. What would the author probably discuss in the paragraph that follows? ‎ A. Another way to save bees.‎ B. Other tips for choosing seeds.‎ C. More methods to plant green organic fruits.‎ D. Causes of the decline in the wild bee population.‎ D Global Positioning Systems are now a part of everyday driving in many countries. These satellite-based systems provide turn-by-turn directions to help people get to where they want to go. But, they can also cause a lot of problems, send you to the wrong place or leave you completely lost. Many times, the driver is to blame. Sometimes a GPS error is responsible. Most often, says Barry Brown, an expert in human-computer interaction, it is a combination of the two. ‎ Barry Brown is with the Mobile Life Centre in Stockholm‎, ‎Sweden. The center studies human-computer interaction, or HCI, especially communications involving wireless devices. We spoke to Mr. Brown by Skype（网络电话软件）. He told us about an incident involving a friend who had flown to an airport in the eastern United States. There he borrowed a GPS-equipped car to use during his stay. Barry Brown: “And they just plugged in an address and then set off to their destination. And, then it wasn’t until they were driving for thirty minutes that they realized they actually put in a destination back on the West Coast where they lived. They actually put their home address in, the GPS is kind of “garbage in garbage out”. Mr. Brown says this is a common human error. But, he says, what makes the problem worse has to do with some of the shortcomings, or failures, of GPS equipment. ‎ Barry Brown: “One problem with a lot of the GPS units is they have a very small screen and they just tell you the next turn. Because they just give you the next turn, sometimes that means that it is not really giving you the overview that you would need to know that it’s going to the wrong place. ”‎ Barry Brown once worked on a project with Eric Laurier from the University‎ of ‎Edinburgh. The two men studied the effects of GPS devices on driving by placing cameras in people's cars. They wrote a paper based on their research. It is called “The Normal, Natural Troubles of Driving with GPS”. It lists several areas where GPS systems can cause confusion for drivers. These include maps that are outdated, incorrect or difficult to understand. They also include timing issues related to when GPS commands are given. ‎ Barry Brown says to make GPS systems better we need a better understanding of how drivers, ‎ passengers and GPS systems work together. ‎ ‎32. In Paragraph 2, Mr. Brown mentioned his friend in the conversation to . ‎ A. build up his own reputation B. laugh at his stupid friend ‎ C. prove the GPS system is only garbage D. describe an example of human error ‎ ‎33. Which of the following statements would Barry Brown most likely agree with？ ‎ A. GPS units are to blame for most GPS service failures. ‎ B. We should introduce higher standards for the driving license. ‎ C. Cameras are urgently needed to help improve GPS systems.‎ D. Drivers, GPS systems and passengers should unite to improve GPS systems. ‎ ‎34. What is Mr. Brown’s attitude towards GPS? ‎ A. Unconcerned B. Prejudiced C. Objective D. Critical ‎ ‎35. What would be the best title for the text? ‎ A. Driving with GPS can be difficult.‎ B. Driving confusions can be caused by small screens.‎ C. Driving without GPS should be much more convenient. ‎ D. GPS equipment in driving: to be abandoned or improved?‎ 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。‎ Whether you’re a child, teenager, young adult or are middle-aged, respect for your parents is an important value. Your parents are the people who raised you, devoting time, energy and money to your development. 36 No matter your age, there are 5ways to show respect. ‎ ‎●Respect their belongings. ‎ One important way to show respect is to show regard for the things important to your parents. For younger children, this may mean not touching jewelry or other valuable things. For grown children, respect may mean returning a borrowed tool in good condition and on time. Lack of respect for a parent's belongings is a violation of personal boundaries. 37 And never borrow things without asking first. []‎ ‎●Punctuality. ‎ ‎ 38 Therefore, always be on time. For teenagers, showing up on time means coming home ‎ by curfew（宵禁）. Adult children should show up on time for family dinners or events, or to pick a parent up for a medical appointment. Call if you're going to be late because parents worry about children, no matter their age. ‎ ‎● 39 ‎ Remembering birthdays, anniversaries and other special days is a sign that you honor your parents. Make plans to take them to lunch or dinner or bake a cake or cookies. Most parents don't expect expensive gifts, but a handmade gift is always appreciated. A phone call from a grown child who lives too far for a visit is a welcome sign of respect. ‎ ‎●Be kind. ‎ Kind words and affection are simple ways to show respect. Tell your parents you love them. Listen and allow your parents to speak without interruption. Show a sincere interest in what your parents have to say. Be patient with your parents and don't rush them. Never talk back or be rude or disrespectful. Acknowledge your parents' achievements. 40 ‎ A. Be a good listener. ‎ B. Celebrate with them. ‎ C. Lateness indicates a lack of respect. ‎ D. Treat your parents the way you would like to be treated. ‎ E. And they love you unconditionally throughout your life. ‎ F. Being respectful helps build positive relationships with others. ‎ G. Don't take advantage of your parents' kindness and generosity. ‎ 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）‎ 第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C 和 D）中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ ‎ When my kids were small, I started a tradition in our house of giving eight gifts over the course of the eight days of Hanukkah（光明节）.
