    1．Chuck is concerned about the environment, and would like to do some research on ecosystem while he is on holiday．

    2．Karen is one of the best surfers in her school, and she plans to get more practice during the holiday．She would like to take some thrilling ridings as well．

    3．Kevin is eager to play with dolphins．He is very interested in ocean life．

    4．Andrew loves facing challenges．He has taken almost all kinds of adventure tours except whitewater rafting, which he is determined to take this summer．

    5．Sophie would like to get thrilled by experiencing the sudden change of the weather．

    Summer is just around the corner, and here are a few America’s hottest places to cool off．

    A．Glenwood Springs：Visitors to Glenwood Springs can cool down in an exciting rush thanks to a lot of whitewater rapids in the area．Thrill-seekers can join rafting guides on wild rides．Either way, the chilly spray(水花)from the river is the answer to a hot and dry Colorado summer．

    B．Santa Cruz：The surfing life made cool by the Beach Boys awaits travelers in the laid-back(悠闲)college town of Santa Cruz, just 75 miles south of San Francisco．Year-round enthusiasts can be seen riding waves．Another Santa Cruz favorite is the beachfront boardwalk．For as little as ＄ 1.50, visitors can also ride the Giant Dipper, one of the last wooden roller coasters．

    C．Bay of Dreams Water Park：rain, snow, sleet(雨夹雪)or hail(冰雹)could befall the town of Wisconsin Dells and still fail to spoil the fun at the Bay of Dreams Water Park, the largest indoor water park in the world．During the summer, Bay of Dreams is the place to go for a wet and wild adventure．The jungle-theme amusement park includes rides to delight young and old．

    D．Key West：The grandest pearl on the necklace of islands known as the Florida Keys is by far the tropical outpost(偏远居民区)of Key West．By day, residents and tourists alike enjoy Key West’s aquatic(水上的)activities, including fishing and boating．By night, Key West comes alive．Street performers pour onto Mallory Dock to entertain the dozens who gather to watch the sunset．Sidewalk cafes, outdoor bars and open-air night-clubs are also busy．

    E．Discovery Cove：Discovery Cove, opened in July, 2000, welcomes anyone aged 6 to 96 to swim, feed, pet, cuddle(搂抱)and play with these Atlantic bottlenose dolphins, and all kinds of fish．Sharks and barracudas add to the mix, though they are safely kept behind a thick wall of glass．

    F．Lake Mead National Recreational Area：a desert oasis(绿洲)became reality when the Hoover Dam was completed in 1935, giving birth to Lake Mead－one of the largest man-made lakes in the world．Almost 30 years later the National Park Service declared Lake Mead(and the ecosystems from the adjoining(毗连的)Great Basin, Mojave and Sonoran Deserts)a National Recreation Area．Today Lake Mead NRA hosts more than 10 million visitors each year, all who can take advantage of the area’s activities, which include boating, fishing and swimming．

    E:\Zujuan\WCFUpload\Upload\DOCUME~1\ADMINI~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\Rar$DI00.718\全品高考网      Bicycles are a great way to get around. They’re fun to ride, especially down hills. And, as you speed along the road, you might also think of ways in which you could improve your bike— make it safer, more efficient, or more comfortable. In fact, the two-wheeled machines make for some cool science projects.
    This year's International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF), held last May in Cleveland, featured（had）three bicycle projects from three countries. Like many of the other experiments presented at ISEF, the bike projects showed that some of the most interesting scientific research often begins by taking a closer look at things you care about.
    Renato Angulo Chu had even grander ambitions(雄心). The 12th-grader from Lima, Peru, wanted to address some of his country's economic troubles.
    "I see a problem in my country," Renato said. "If you go to the forests in Peru, in some places you cannot find electricity. If you go with my bicycle, you can turn on the lights."
    Renato, 16, spent 3 years designing his special Multibike. The device looks like a fixed exercise bike. It has wires fixed along the frame(结构) and a blender strapped(fastened) to the back. Turning the pedals(踏蹬) operates the blender. The same principle can be used to sharpen knives or sweep city streets.
    The Multibike can work either as a fixed bike or as a bicycle able to travel city streets and country roads. It's made from inexpensive materials, and the user gets exercise while pedaling to operate a machine.
    "You pedal the bike, and you can mix any drink you want," Renato said. More importantly, he added, the same concept(概念) could be used to bring light to houses in remote regions of the rainforest.
    46. What can we learn from the first paragraph?
    A. Bicycles are the best way to go about
    B. Bikes should be made more comfortable to ride.
    C. You can improve your bicycle for science research.
    D. Many inventions are connected with the bicycle.
    47. Which of the following is true according to the passage?
    A. ISEF is an exhibiton displaying bicycle experiments designed by students.
    B. Looking closely at things you are concerned about can lead to scientific research.
    C. Renato’s improvement of the bicycle has solved the country’s great problem.
    D. Renato’s special bicycle will soon be put into use in remote areas.’
    48. The underlined word “address” in the third paragraph probably has the same meaning as _______.
    A. make address written        B. give up            C. work at             D. speak at
    49. Renato’s special Multibike has all the following EXCEPT  ________.
    A. making knives sharp                       B. mixing any kind of drinks
    C. producing electricity                       D. operating a machine with its own electricity
    50. It can be inferred that Renato’s special bicycle is mainly designed for ________.
    A. distant areas in the rainforest without electricity.
    B. the use of his own family to make life easier.
    C. the competition of ISEF to win money to support remote rainforests
    D. enough exercise by pedaling it

         美国长大的台湾人气歌手Wang Lee Hom在接受CNN Talk Asia栏目专访时，回答了主持人
    Lorraine Hah提出的五个问题(第1-5题)。请从下列提问(A、 B、C、D、E和F)中选出与他的
    回答相匹配的问题，选项中有一项是多余选项。
    A. What do awards mean to you?
    B. How would you describe your style?
    C. What is it about acting that's so attractive?
    D. How do you deal with this loss of privacy?
    E. How do you divide your time in acting and music?
    F. What gave you the idea to start the studios in the first place?
         Born in New York in 1976, Wang grew up in the United States. Blessed with a mix of brains and
    talent, he spent his youth performing in local musicals. While in university, Wang landed a recording
    contract in Taiwan. His breakthrough album firmly established him as a rising star in the Asian music
    scene. In addition to writing and producing his own music, Wang has also taken part in movie projects
    around Asia. He has won a great popularity, and now he is having an interview with CNN Talk Asia.
    1. ______________
         WL: It is a school of hip hop, which is the way I like to think of it. It combines Chinese elements and
    sounds. I started it off in my last album called Shangrila. And this album combines the music of ethnic
    minorities, in China, in Tibet, and in Mongolia. It's beautiful and original to Chinese culture. And this new
    album called Heroes of Earth combines Opera and Quen-chu, which are thousand-year-old traditions
    also unique to Chinese culture. Very unique instruments, costumes, singing styles. I don't think anyone
    has ever done this before in the hip hop world.
    2. ______________
         WL: Um, just the large quantity of work that I have to come up with. I produce for other artists and
    compose for them as well. And there are a lot of changes in music going on right now in Asia. And it's
    really exciting so I decided that I'm going to need a studio in New York. I'm going to need a studio in
    Taipei. And maybe the rest I can get by with just my laptop.
    3. ______________
         WL: Well, I started doing musical theatre. And I loved it so much from the age of 13, you know.
    Actually in 2000, I did my first movie and ever since then I've been enjoying doing movies. I don't think
    I'm much of an actor. But I just love being surrounded by creative people and a lot of times doing music
    is a lonely struggle, especially composing, and arranging, producing my own albums. Acting, every day
    you get called and you're surrounded by other actors and creative people.
    4. ______________
         WL: The first time I won, like you just said, when I was 22, it meant a lot to me. It was like…I didn't
    know I could make this happen. I didn't know I could get this kind of recognition. So back then, it was
    huge increase of confidence. And I don't want to say vanity(虚荣心), but confidence. I think every artist
    needs confidence.
    5. _______________
         WL: Well, it can be a real pain in the neck. You know, I feel lucky that I can go back to New York
    and not be recognized and not be followed. At times it can be really, really annoying. Today many people own a cell phone that has a camera on it…

         Typhoons usually come to Taiwan in summer. They bring lots of rain. It gives us water to
    use. But typhoons also bring us floods if it rains too much. After the floods, there may be
    diseases such as dysentery or dengue fever. Typhoons also come with a lot of wind. The
    wind damages houses, trees, crops and hurts people. So staying at home, preparing food
    and water, and watching the news on TV are the safest things to do.
         The confirmed death toll (伤亡人数) in Taiwan caused by Typhoon Morakot, which
    first hit the island on August 6th, causing the worst floods since 1959, is bad enough. By the

    dropped foods and drinks and began a slow evacuation(撤离), blocked by heavy rain. The
    army says it does not know how many people may have died there. The government faced
    criticism for not having arranged an evacuation as soon as it heard the typhoon was coming.
    "We should brace ourselves(振作起来) against typhoons as if they are an invading enemy,"
    said Chu Wen-sen, one of Taiwan's leading water-management experts.

         Jascha Richter once sang “don't  need  too much talking without saying anything”  to  reveal  his lonely
    feeling in a crowd.   
         Dad always told me never to ever reveal my true opinions towards other people if such opinions are
    negative. He said this is the “Chu Shi Zhe Xue”, the philosophy of dealing with social network.  
         It seems that everybody here just follows this philosophy very, very well.  
         Friends. I would say that if I were given true friendship I would definitely treasure it with my greatest
    care. If I really regard someone as my close friend, I would never leave her alone whenever she's in need,  either financially or mentally. And I always believe, as long as I treat people with whole-hearted honesty,
    I would have some rewards-at least, just ONE true friend of the same gender（性别）.    
         Sometimes I just miss my friends in China. Perhaps when we became friends, we were still young, too
    young to have been polluted by any dirt in the society. But here, it is simply different. It seems that all of us have learnt how to SURVIVE  in a foreign land and such an experience actually  makes us learn how to
    extract (榨取) the most benefits from the surroundings in order to survive.  
          All are friends around me.I've looked through all the dark sides of their personalities and yet I have to pretend that I know nothing.THEY ARE GOOD. THEY ARE GOOD. AND WE ARE FRIENDS. And
    then I can make myself comfortable enough to talk to people I hate the most. And of course, they don't
    say any words truly from their hearts. Neither do I.   
         But, sometimes I just feel unwilling to talk to these people. Sometimes, I just want to be alone, quietly, without being forced to listen to their gossip or other useless words.   
        “Standing on a mountain high
         Looking at the moon through a clear blue sky
         I should go and see some friends          
         But they don't really comprehend”    
         Jascha Richter expresses my feelings also.   
    1. What do we know about the writer’s father according to this passage?
    A. He is really a good philosopher.
    B. He possibly gets on well with others.
    C. He told the writer to reveal her true opinions.
    D. The passage doesn’t tell us at all.
    2.What’s the most probable reason the writer mentions Jascha Richter’s song twice in the passage?
    A. She likes Jascha Richter’s song.
    B. Jascha Richter is one of her friends.
    C. The song expresses her feelings.
    D. She uses it to perfects her article.
    3. Which of the following statements about the writer is TRUE?  
    A. She is now living abroad but doesn’t enjoy the life there.   
    B. She absolutely believes in her father’s philosophy.  
    C. She shows a positive attitude towards her relationship with others.   
    D. She thinks highly of her friends by repeating “They are good”.
    4. The writer mostly expresses her ______ in this passage.
    A. happiness      
    B. homesickness
    C. sadness    
    D. loneliness
