To get on the bus, please meet at the entrance to the hotel rather than at the reception desk, which gets quite crowded in the mornings. Our first stop will be at a magnificent ruin just outside Gulum. It used to be a palace.

Afterwards we'll drive on to the Wakizi Restaurant on the Gulum River for lunch. In the afternoon, we'll stop at Gulum beach where there's a choice of activities to do. One option is to go diving. For those people who like volleyball, we're organizing a competition on the beach. Unfortunately, at this time of year, sailing isn't possible, due to the lack of wind. We'll provide towels and umbrellas, but please don't forget the suncream as the temperatures are very high- you will need it even on a cloudy day! 第二部分 阅读(共两节，满分 50 分) 第一节(共 15 小题，每小题 2.5 分，满分 37.5 分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A I'm not much of a gardener. I love having beautiful flowers, but I don't have a good track record when it comes to making them grow. A few months after our son left for the Middle East, my friend gifted me a box of tulip bulbs. She explained that these bulbs were put into the ground in the fall and lay sleeping all winter. They had all the nutrients they needed inside the bulb and would come out in the spring. “When you see the leaves of the tiny flowers pushing toward the sun, you'll know that it's almost time for your son to come home. They'll give you what you need most." She walked me through the process of planting them. It was a long winter-cold and dark. I endured both the weather and the loneliness and fear I felt with my son away. Dead leaves, frost and finally a heavy snow covered the area where I'd planted those flowers, and I soon forgot they were there. Finally the weather began to warm. One day, as I walked down my front steps, I noticed an area of green. I bent down to inspect the situation more clearly and saw that those tulips had begun to grow, their tiny leaves forcing their way to the sun. Day after day, the time approached when my son would finally be home. Now with spring just around the comer, nothing could keep either of us from marching toward the light Almost all of those bulbs bloomed. And with each brightly colored flower, I marked off one day closer to holding my son in my arms again. 21. Which of the following is true about the author? A. She is a professional gardener. B. She never plants flowers at home. C. She is not good at growing flowers. D. She often sends friends flowers as gifts. 22. Why did the author forget the tulip bulbs soon? A. She had no hope for beautiful flowers indeed. B. The bitter winter reminded her of her son far away. C. She was discouraged from making another attempt. D. They failed to live through the cold and long winter. 23. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. A Dark Winter With Hope B. Living a Positive Life C. An Area of Green in Spring D. Planting Hope in Winter 【答案】21. C 22. A 23. D 【解析】 这是一篇记叙文。记叙了作者的儿子在去中东几个月后，朋友送给作者一盒郁金香球茎。但 是作者本身不擅长养花，那个冬天寒冷又漫长，作者已经对郁金香能开出美丽的花不抱希望 了，结果冬天种下的花在春天发芽，作者的心情也从绝望向希望转变。 【21 题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“I'm not much of a gardener. I love having beautiful flowers, but I don't have a good track record when it comes to making them grow.(我不是一个很好的园丁。我 喜欢拥有美丽的花朵，但当提到要让它们生长，我就显得毫无头绪)”可知，关于作者的说 法中 C 选项“她不擅长养花”正确。故选 C。 【22 题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“It was a long winter—cold and dark. I endured both the weather and the loneliness and fear I felt with my son away. Dead leaves, frost and finally a heavy snow covered the area where I'd planted those flowers, and I soon forgot they were there.(那是一个漫 长的冬天——又寒冷又黑暗。儿子离开后，我忍受着天气、孤独和恐惧。枯叶、霜冻，最后 一场大雪覆盖了我种那些花的地方，很快我就忘了它们在那里了)”结合上文作者提到自己 本身不擅长养花，加之这个冬天又黑暗又寒冷，由此可推知，作者很快就忘记了郁金香球茎， 是因为她确实对美丽的花朵不抱希望了。故选 A。 【23 题详解】 主旨大意题。根据倒数第二段“Finally the weather began to warm. One day, as I walked down my front steps, I noticed an area of green. I bent down to inspect the situation more clearly and saw that those tulips had begun to grow, their tiny leaves forcing their way to the sun.(最后天气开 始变暖了。一天，当我走下屋前的台阶时，我注意到一片绿色。我俯下身来，想要看得更清 楚些，那郁金香已经开始生长了，细小的叶子迎向阳光)”结合文章记叙了作者的儿子在去 中东几个月后，朋友送给作者一盒郁金香球茎。但是作者本身不擅长养花，那个冬天寒冷又 漫长，作者已经对郁金香能开出美丽的花不抱希望了，结果冬天种下的花在春天发芽，作者 的心情也从绝望向希望转变。整体故事脉络就是作者在寒冬种植下的花于春天发芽生产，作 者的心态也从孤独绝望慢慢转变的充满希望，可见花卉就是希望的意象。可知，D 选项“在 冬天播种希望”最符合文章标题。故选 D。 B An 80-year-old man and his family may soon get a bill for the cost of his rescue mission. After an all-night search by rescuers, James Clark of Dublin, Ohio, was found “not moving and exhibiting what appeared to be signs and symptoms on low body temperature to the point of not being able to speak any clear words,” according to a statement. Similarly, in 2015, a family of four received an about 8,500 bill after their daytime hike left them lost in the dark and requiring search and rescue(SAR). This raises an interesting question: Who pays for the cost when you get lost or injured in the great outdoors? The high cost of SAR missions is what prompted states like New Hampshire to pass laws that establish programs like Hike Safe to hold individuals more financially accountable for their rescues. However, some people have called for more strict laws to shift SAR costs off taxpayers. They say such a move would ultimately make people take more responsibility, but it's a controversial idea. "Society rescues people all the time-auto accident victims, home fire victims-and at far greater cost than wilderness hiker rescues." writes Backpacker. Critics say putting a price tag on SAR could cause people to hesitate before calling for help in emergency situations. But Heggie says this isn't actually the reason why the National Park Service doesn't charge for SAR. "If an agency such as NPS starts charging the public for SAR costs, the agency essentially has to conduct SAR operations. If something goes wrong during the SAR operation, someone could lead to a lawsuit(起诉).” Both Heggie and Kupper say the best way people can avoid needing rescue is simply by being prepared, suggesting that people research hikes before they go, pay attention to their surroundings, pack essential gear and not rely on a cellphone as a survival kit. "The best time to prevent SAR incidents is when people are still at home," Heggie said. 24. What happened to James when he was rescued? A. He lost his way home. B. He didn't dare to move alone. C. He couldn't express himself. D. He was seriously injured. 25. What benefit does a price tag on SAR have? A. To pay back the rescuers. B. To make hikers more responsible. C. To reduce outdoor activities. D. To discourage hikers calling for help. 26. What is the reason for NPS to avoid charging for SAR? A. The possibility of being charged. B. The heavy burden of medical costs. C. The difficulty in doing a SAR operation. D. The fear of doing fewer SAR operations. 27. What is the most effective way to avoid a rescue need according to Heggie? A. Packing necessary things. B. Carrying a survival kit. C. Taking a cellphone everywhere. D. Preparing well in advance. 【答案】24. C 25. B 26. A 27. D 【解析】 本文是一篇议论文。文章主要介绍了谁该承担营救受困游客的救援费用，以及人们对此问题 的不同看法。 【24 题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“After an all-night search by rescuers, James Clark of Dublin, Ohio, was found ‘not moving and exhibiting what appeared to be signs and symptoms on low body temperature to the point of not being able to speak any clear words,’(经过救援人员一整夜的搜 寻，俄亥俄州都柏林的 James Clark 被发现‘一动不动，并表现出体温过低的迹象和症状， 甚至说不出任何清楚的话。’)”可知，当 James 获救时，他已经不能清晰地表达了。故选 C。 【25 题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“However, some people have called for more strict laws to shift SAR costs off taxpayers. They say such a move would ultimately make people take more responsibility, but it's a controversial idea.(不过，有些人呼吁更严格的法例，以转移纳税人需 要进行搜救活动时的负担。他们表示，这样的举措最终会让人们承担更多的责任，但这是一 个有争议的想法)”可推知，搜救活动标价的好处是让徒步旅行者更有责任感。故选 B。 【26 题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的“If an agency such as NPS starts charging the public for SAR costs, the agency essentially has to conduct SAR operations. If something goes wrong during the SAR operation，someone could lead to a lawsuit.(如果像 NPS 这样的机构开始向公众收取搜救 费用，该机构就必须进行搜救行动。如果在搜救行动中出现问题，可能会导致有人起诉)” 可推知，NPS 不愿意收费是因为害怕如果救援中出错会遭到起诉，故选 A。 【27 题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Both Heggie and Kupper say the best way people can avoid needing rescue is simply by being prepared, suggesting that people research hikes before they go, pay attention to their surroundings, pack essential gear and not rely on a cellphone as a survival kit. ‘The best time to prevent SAR incidents is when people are still at home,’ Heggie said.( Heggie 和 Kupper 都表示，人们避免需要救援的最好方法就是做好准备。他们建议人们在出发前研究 一下徒步旅行的情况，注意一下周围的环境，带上必要的装备，不要把手机当作求生工具。 Heggie 说：‘预防搜救事件的最佳时机是当人们还在家中时。’)”可知，Heggie 认为，避 免救援需要最有效的方法是提前做好准备。故选 D。 C Israeli company Watergen has produced an appliance that can generate clean,drinkable water out of air. The device,called GENNY, is small enough to be used in a home or office but can generate up to 30 liters of water a day. GENNY takes air in and passes through a filter(过滤器)to remove dust and dirt. The filter is powerful enough to work with high air pollution. The air is directed through GENius,a heating and cooling process which causes water in the air to condense(凝结).This water is then passed through several more filters and minerals are added to improve the flavor of the water. Finally, the water is stored in a tank where it is continually circulated to keep it fresh. Therefore,the water produced by GENNY is often of a higher quality than water running through filtration systems attached to the city's water lines. The technology of GENius is much better than other technologies that generate water from air. It produces four to five times more water per kilowatt-hour.Watergen has other products that use this same technology on a larger scale, the largest of which can produce up to 5,000 liters of water per day. As an added bonus,during the water generation process, GENNY can emit clean air which is healthier for people to breathe. At the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, GENNY was named the Energy Efficient Product of the Year. The award series recognize the world's top high-tech home products. Last year,Watergen's large-scale products were donated to authorities in Brazil,Vietnam and India. They also assisted rescue and recovery efforts during the 2018 California wildfires and provided clean,safe water for the residents of Texas and Florida in the aftermath of the devastation caused by hurricanes Harvey and Irma. Watergen also seeks to help protect the environment by reducing waste generated by plastic water bottles. People are called upon to put the water from GEENY into reusable bottles so that plastic ones don't get used and thrown away. 28. What does GENNY accomplish by adding minerals to the water? A. It keeps the water fresh. B. It helps kill harmful bacteria. C. It satisfies local water regulations. D. It makes the water taste better. 29. Which of the following can best describe GENius? A. Energy-efficient. B. Cost-saving. C. Time-saving. D. Environment-friendly. 30. What does the underlined word "emit" in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Cut down. B. Blow away. C. Give off. D. Use up. 31. What can Watergen do using its large scale products? A. Consume plastic waste. B. Respond to natural disasters. C. Test water quality globally. D. Relieve drought in some countries. 【答案】28. D 29. A 30. C 31. B 【解析】 这是一篇科普说明文，介绍了以色列公司 Watergen 生产的一种可以从空气中产生清洁饮用 水的设备，文章说明了该设备的运行方式、优越性和用途，还补充了 Watergen 公司的其他 环保行为。 【28 题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第二段第四句”This water is then passed through several more filters and minerals are added to improve the flavor of the water.（然后这些水再经过几个过滤器，并添加 矿物质来改善水的味道。）”可知，添加矿物质的目的是改善水的味道，即使水的味道更好。 故选 D。 【29 题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“At the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, GENNY was named the Energy Efficient Product of the Year. ”（在拉斯维加斯的消费电子展上，GENNY 被 评为年度节能产品。）可知 GENius 可以被描述为节能。故选 A。 【30 题详解】 词句猜测题。由前一句 As an added bonus, during the water generation process（作为一个额外 的好处，在水的产生过程中）中的 bonus 可知，emit air…肯定是好的方面，可以猜测这个设 备可以排放出清洁的空气，A 项是减少，B 项是吹走，D 项是用光。C 项 是排出，符合题 意。故选 C。 【31 题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“They also assisted rescue and recovery efforts during the 2018 California wildfires and provided clean, safe water for the residents of Texas and Florida in the aftermath of the devastation caused by hurricanes Harvey and Irma.（它们还协助了 2018 年加州 山火的救援和恢复工作，并在飓风 Harvey 和飓风 Irma 造成的破坏之后，为得克萨斯州和佛 罗里达州的居民提供了干净、安全的饮用水。）”可知 Watergen 可以利用它的大规模产品对 自然灾害做出（积极的）反应。故选 B。 D When you think of a map, is north on the top or the bottom? Usually, maps are designed with north on top,though when we think about it, there is no logical reason for this bias. After all, there is no up or down in space. So what is wrong with south, east or west being on the top of the map? The answer is:nothing at all. In fact, north-up maps only became the norm in the last few hundred years. Ancient Egyptian maps had south at the top because the Nile River flows downhill from mountains in the south to the Mediterranean Sea in the north. Mecca was to the south of most early Muslim civilizations, and south-up maps were designed so that viewers would look up to see Mecca. Medieval Christian maps had east at the top, as they believed the Garden of Eden was in the east. The only early maps that had north at the top were those of early China because the emperor lived in the north. North seems to have settled at the top of maps during the 16th century, largely thanks to a Flemish mapmaker, Mercator. Mercator was a great admirer of an early Greek mapmaker, who, for reasons now unknown, put north at the top of maps, so Mercator did, too. When Mercator s world map became the standard map to navigate the oceans, north up became standard as well. What is the implication of this north-view of the world? Psychologically, people tend to think of up as good and down as bad. Just think of words and phrases like “upmarket”，“upbeat” and “moving up in the world", and how they contrast with their opposites. Because north is so consistently put at the top of maps, people now think of north as good, too. Several attempts have been made in recent years by introducing south-up maps to the market. These maps not only give us a chance to see the world differently, but also give everyone the chance to see themselves on top. 32. What can we learn from the first two paragraphs? A. North-up maps were rare in ancient times. B. Deciding up or down in space is ridiculous. C. Mecca maps were based on a legend. D. The south-up map first appeared in ancient Egypt. 33. Why is north associated with good? A. An illogical reason. B. The spread of Mercator' s maps. C. People's preference for up. D. An age-old tradition in Greece. 34. What is the authors attitude to south-up maps? A. Cautious. B. Supportive. C. Uncaring. D. Disapproving. 35. What's the main purpose of the text? A. To explain a phenomenon. B. To compare various facts. C. To correct a cultural bias. D. To argue for a viewpoint. 【答案】32. A 33. C 34. B 35. D 【解析】 这是一篇议论文，介绍了古代地图的顶部是不同的方向，但是现在地图一般都是北在上的， 所以人们认为北方是好的。而南在上的地图不仅让我们有机会从不同角度看世界，也让每个 人有机会看到自己处于顶峰。 【32 题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第二段“Ancient Egyptian maps had south at the top because the Nile River flows downhill from mountains in the south to the Mediterranean Sea in the north. Mecca was to the south of most early Muslim civilizations, and south-up maps were designed so that viewers would look up to see Mecca. Medieval Christian maps had east at the top, as they believed the Garden of Eden was in the east. The only early maps that had north at the top were those of early China because the emperor lived in the north.(古埃及地图的顶部是南，因为尼罗河从南部的山 脉流向北部的地中海。麦加位于大多数早期穆斯林文明的南部，因此人们设计了向南的地图， 这样人们就可以抬头看到麦加。中世纪的基督教地图上有东方，因为他们认为伊甸园在东方。 只有早期的中国地图，上面有北方，因为皇帝住在北方。)”可知，古代大部分国家的地图的 顶部是南或者东方，只有中国将北作为地图的顶部，所以以北为上的地图在古代是很少见的。 故选 A 项。 【33 题详解】 细 节 理 解 题 。 由 文 章 第 四 段 “What is the implication of this north-view of the world? Psychologically, people tend to think of up as good and down as bad. (这个世界向北的观点意味 着什么?心理上，人们倾向于认为向上是好的，向下是坏的。)”可知，为什么北方和好有关 是因为人们对向上的偏好。故选 C 项。 【34 题详解】 推理判断题。由文章最后一段“Several attempts have been made in recent years by introducing south-up maps to the market. These maps not only give us a chance to see the world differently, but also give everyone the chance to see themselves on top.(近年来，通过将南向地图引入市场， 已经进行了几次尝试。这些地图不仅让我们有机会从不同的角度看世界，也让每个人都有机 会看到自己处于顶峰。)”可知，南在上的地图不仅让我们有机会从不同角度看世界，也让每 个人有机会看到自己处于顶峰，可以让我们从另一个角度看待世界和自己，所以作者对南在 上的地图是支持的，肯定的。故选 B 项。 【35 题详解】 推理判断题。由文章最后一段“Several attempts have been made in recent years by introducing south-up maps to the market. These maps not only give us a chance to see the world differently, but also give everyone the chance to see themselves on top.(近年来，已经进行了几次尝试将南 向地图引入市场。这些地图不仅让我们有机会从不同的角度看世界，也让每个人都有机会看 到自己处于顶峰。)”可知，作者知道现在大多数地图都是北向上的，但是他认为南向上的地 图也是有好处的，希望南向上的地图可以让人们从另一个角度看待世界和自己，可推知作者 写这篇文章的目的是支持这个观点，南向上的地图可以让我们多一个角度看世界。故选 D 项。 第二节(共 5 小题:每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有 两项为多余选项。 A sit-spot routine is a practice that naturalists use to learn more about the world around them.

And if you aren't visiting it regularly, you can't tap into all those healthful benefits. ___37___ Most locations you choose will have at least a handful of birds hanging around if not more wildlife to watch. ___38___This helps tune yourself in to more than just the scenery around you but also the fact that you're part of a larger ecosystem. It inspires the connection that causes so many other wonderful benefits of nature. It needs to be safe. Ideally, your sit-spot will be apart from others so that you can have some time to sit peace and get comfortable without distraction from other people. ___39___ Pay attention to the area around you and the area leading into and away from your sit-spot. If any red flags go up that make you feel unsafe, select a different location. There are ideal sit-spot locations that wrap you entirely in nature for hundreds of yards, and there are practical sit-spot locations like a bench in the comer of a city park. ___40___So maximize what you have around you to make any amount of outdoor time part of your daily or weekly routine. A. It can even be in your backyard. B. It needs to have some animal activity. C. Notice how they're using the landscape. D. But in this loneliness, you probably feel unsafe. E. It's wonderful to just sit and observe what's around you. F. It's more important to have a practical location than an ideal one. G. This closeness is what will help to make visiting your spot a routine. 【答案】36. G 37. B 38. C 39. D 40. F 【解析】 这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了选择良好观景点的一些注意事项。 【36 题详解】 根据小标题“It needs to be close to your home.(它必须离你家很近)”以及后文“The longer it takes you to get to your spot, the less likely you will be to visit it multiple times a week. And if you aren't visiting it regularly, you can't tap into all those healthful benefits.(你到达目的地的时 间越长，一周去多次的可能性就越小。如果你不经常去那里，你就无法享受到所有这些有益 健康的好处)”可知，结合题干下文，都在围绕地点离家近才可能经常去这一点论述，且 G 选项中 closeness 可与标题中 close 相对应。故 G 选项“这种近距离会帮你把去观景点变成一 种惯例”符合语境，故选 G。 【37 题详解】 根据后文“Most locations you choose will have at least a handful of birds hanging around if not more wildlife to watch. (你选择的大多数地点，如果没有更多的野生动物可以观赏的话，至少 要会有几只鸟在附近徘徊)”可知，后文提到了观景点至少要有几只鸟活动，说明本段主要 的内容是观景点要有动物活动。故 B 选项“它需要一些动物活动”符合小标题，故选 B。 【38 题详解】 根据上文“Most locations you choose will have at least a handful of birds hanging around if not more wildlife to watch. (你选择的大多数地点，如果没有更多的野生动物可以观赏的话，至少 要会有几只鸟在附近徘徊)”以及后文“This helps tune yourself in to more than just the scenery around you but also the fact that you're part of a larger ecosystem. It inspires the connection that causes so many other wonderful benefits of nature.(这不仅能让你置身于周围的 风景之中，还能让你意识到自己是一个更大的生态系统的一部分。它激发了一种联系，这种 联系给大自然带来了许多其他美妙的好处)”可知，上文提到了没有野生动物，也至少要有 几只鸟，后文则提到了某种做法会让人与自然产生密切联系，可推知本句承接上文继续说明 与动物有关的行为，C 选项中 they 指代上文 birds。故 C 选项“注意它们是如何利用景观的” 符合语境，故选 C。 【39 题详解】 根据上文“Ideally, your sit-spot will be apart from others so that you can have some time to sit peace and get comfortable without distraction from other people. (理想情况下，你坐的位置应该 和其他人分开，这样你就可以有时间安静舒适地坐着，不会被其他人的注意力分散)”以及 后文“Pay attention to the area around you and the area leading into and away from your sit-spot. If any red flags go up that make you feel unsafe, select a different location. (注意你周围的区域， 以及进出你的位置的区域。如果出现任何让你感到不安全的危险信号，选择一个不同的位 置)”可知，上文提到理想的地点是一个远离喧嚣避免打扰的地方，后文则提到要对周遭的 安全状况多加注意，因此本句是个转折句，提到远离喧嚣所存在的安全隐患的问题。故 D 选项“但在这种孤独中，你可能会感到不安全”符合语境，故选 D。 【40 题详解】 根据上文“There are ideal sit-spot locations that wrap you entirely in nature for hundreds of yards, and there are practical sit-spot locations like a bench in the comer of a city park.(有一些理 想的地点可以将你完全包裹在数百码的大自然中，也有一些实际的地点，比如城市公园角落 的长椅)”以及后文“So maximize what you have around you to make any amount of outdoor time part of your daily or weekly routine.(所以最大化利用你周围的事物，把户外活动作为你每 天或每周例行活动的一部分)” 可知，本段第一句说的是理想地点有的远在百里之外，有的 就很实际，比如城市公园等，后文则提到最大化利用周围的事物，故本句是在强调地点要实 际这一点。故 F 选项“一个实际的地点比一个理想的地点更重要”符合语境，故选 F。 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分 30 分) 第一节(共 15 小题:每小题 1 分，满分 15 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。 I work as a waiter at a restaurant.
