The coach is Jim Brown, one of the most experienced rock climbers in the world today. I’m sure that participants will gain a great deal of confidence and will greatly improve their techniques. There will be room for only twenty participants, and so everyone will be given close attention.

There will be an extra, small charge for equipment for any participants who don’t have their own. I expect everyone here to take advantage of this wonderful opportunity.

Driving on up to Yosemite with my family was exciting yet nerve racking.I had never been to such an amazing national park before yet I wasn't the most athletic person so I knew that I couldn't stick through all the hiking up and down.It actually ended up being a fun and adventurous experience.
The ride there was definitely long but worth it.As I woke up from my nap，I saw the beautiful scenery of the tall mountains and beautiful streams.The trails were made nicely for visitors.The waterfalls were breathtaking with capturing views.Climbing up rocks was one of my favorite parts.Even though I fell a couple of times，I still had a lot of fun.The fact that my family and I spent so much time together all trying to find out which route to take and what views to watch really brought us closer together.
The great thing about nature is that，it's just you，the views，and the people around you.There's nothing there to bother you and it's the best way to relax and enjoy yourself.Yosemite has 5 of the world's highest waterfalls，and about 300 lakes.The structure of each mountain is incredible，it's formed in ways that literally take your breath away.Some of them are a deep dark color with waterfalls forming，some are formed with spots of green peeking out.It's definitely something you wouldn't want to miss.The park also has 67 mammalian species with a variety of different types of animals that roam around you.
Yosemite isn't the only great National Park but based on my experience I highly recommend going out and enjoying nature with family and friends.It's a great time to bond，laugh，and take in what Mother Nature has to offer.

Britons are well known for the amount of tea that they drink. The average person in the UK consumes around 1.9 kg of tea yearly. That’s around 876 cups of tea. Tea is drunk by all sections of society. But tea is not native to Britain. Most tea is grown in India and China. So, how did it become an important part of British culture?
Tea arrived in London in the 1600s. At this time, British ships were exploring the world and came across the drink in China. It was not long before green tea was available to buy. However, this was only available to the richer sections of society.
At the beginning of the 1700s, the amount of tea arriving in Britain increased gradually. Black tea arrived at this time. At first people drank this tea exactly as it was in China. They soon discovered that it mixed really well with a little milk and sugar, giving the drink a special British characteristic.
In the 1800s tea was still a product enjoyed only by people with money. At this time they began to have “afternoon tea”. This involves drinking tea with a snack around 4 pm to avoid feeling hungry between lunch and dinner. It is a tradition that is still going today but has become less popular in recent times.
In the late 1800s, the price of tea decreased sharply as more tea began to arrive on ships from India and China. It was no longer a drink just for rich people. Tearooms — shops where you could buy and drink tea — started to appear across the country. People enjoyed drinking tea and socialising in these places. At the start of the 20th century, Britons began to make tea in their homes whenever they felt like it. Kettles became necessary in every kitchen.
46. How does the passage mainly develop?
A. By providing examples. B. By making comparisons.
C By following the order of time. D. By following the order of importance.
47. What can we learn about British tea culture from Paragraph 1 and 2?
A. Tea reached Britain from China centuries ago. B. Britons are famous for planting tea.
C. Green tea was popular in China. D. Most tea is grown in Britain.
48. Paragraph 3 is mainly about ________.
A. how British people drank black tea B. why the amount of tea increased
C. when green tea arrived in China D. who discovered black tea
49. When was tea no longer a drink just for rich people in the UK?
A. In the early 1700s. B. In the early 1800s.
C. In the late 1800s. D. In the late 20th century.
50. What is the author’s purpose of writing this article?
A. To describe how to drink tea. B. To explain why people love tea.
C. To compare black tea with green tea. D. To introduce the history of British tea culture.
【答案】46. C 47. A 48. A 49. C 50. D
【解析】

推理判断题。根据第一段中“So, how did it become an important part of British culture?(那么，它是如何成为英国文化的重要组成部分的呢？)”引出话题，再根据后面四个段落的首句信息可知文章是按照时间顺序介绍茶是如何成为英国文化的重要组成部分的，故选C。
【47题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Tea arrived in London in the 1600s. At this time, British ships were exploring the world and came across the drink in China. It was not long before green tea was available to buy.(茶在17世纪传入伦敦。在这个时候，英国船只正在探索世界，在中国偶然发现了这种饮料。不久就可以买到绿茶了)”可知，数世纪以前茶从中国传到英国。故选A。
【48题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段“At the beginning of the 1700s, the amount of tea arriving in Britain increased gradually. Black tea arrived at this time. At first people drank this tea exactly as it was in China. They soon discovered that it mixed really well with a little milk and sugar, giving the drink a special British characteristic.(18世纪初，到达英国的茶叶数量逐渐增加。红茶在这个时候到了。起初，人们喝这种茶就像在中国一样。他们很快发现，这种饮料与少量牛奶和糖混合得非常好，赋予了这种饮料一种特殊的英国特色)”可知，第三段主要是关于英国人是如何喝红茶的。故选A。

【50题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Britons are well known for the amount of tea that they drink. The average person in the UK consumes around 1.9 kg of tea yearly. That’s around 876 cups of tea. Tea is drunk by all sections of society. But tea is not native to Britain. Most tea is grown in India and China. So, how did it become an important part of British culture?(英国人的饮茶量是出了名的。英国人均每年消费约1.9公斤茶叶。大约是876杯茶。社会各阶层都喝茶。但是茶并不是英国本土的。大多数茶叶生长在印度和中国。那么，它是如何成为英国文化的重要组成部分的呢？)”可推知，作者写这篇文章的目的是介绍英国茶文化的历史。故选D。
C
Every one of us may have been hurt by others—either by their words or actions. The best way to deal with the problem is to “forgive and forget”.
“It is well established that learning to forgive others can have positive benefits for one’s physical and mental health,” Saima Noreen, a scientist at the University of St. Andrews, UK, told the Huffington Post.
Recently, Noreen and her research team have found one more reason that you should stick to this principle—forgiving somebody who has hurt you makes it easier for you to forget the unhappy memory, according to their new study.
In the study, researchers asked volunteers to read descriptions of 40 different situations that contained bad actions such as stealing, lying and cheating. Imagining being the victims (受害者), volunteers then had to decide whether they would be able to forgive. Two weeks later, volunteers took part in a memory test. In the test, they were shown a series of words related to the situations they had read about and then were asked to recall certain ones.
The results showed that people were less likely to remember the details of the unpleasant experiences if they had found forgiveness in their hearts. In contrast, if they hadn’t forgiven the mistake, they could always remember what had happened.
However, forgiving someone who has hurt you is always easier said than done. So Noreen hopes that one day in the near future research will give rise to powerful therapeutic (有疗效的) tools that will enable people to “forgive and forget” more effectively.
51. According to the passage, Saima Noreen is ________.
A. a reporter of Huffington
B. a scientist from UK
C. a student at a university
D. a volunteer in the test
52. What have Noreen and her team found recently?
A. Forgiving helps us to forget unhappy memories.
B. They have found no reason to hurt other people.
C. A memory test is necessary to help people forgive.
D. An unpleasant experience can be easily forgotten.
53. The right order of the following steps of the study should be ________.
a. Take a memory test. b. Imagine being a victim.
c. Decide whether to forgive or not. d. Read descriptions of 40 different situations.
A. d→b→a→c B. a→b→d→c
C. a→d→b→c D. d→b→c→a
54. What does the underlined word “recall” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A. Translate. B. Choose. C. Remember. D. Explain.
55. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. It’s impossible to forgive someone.
B. Noreen has finished her research report.
C. The therapeutic tools have been invented.
D. There may be some therapeutic tools soon.
【答案】51. B 52. A 53. D 54. C 55. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，讲述的是在面对他人伤害时，处理这个问题的最好方式就是“宽恕和忘记”。
【51题详解】
细节理解题。分析第二段中的““It is well established that learning to forgive others can have positive benefits for one’s physical and mental health,” Saima Noreen, a scientist at the University of St. Andrews, UK, told the Huffington Post.(“众所周知，学会原谅他人可以对一个人的身心健康产生积极的好处，”英国圣安德鲁斯大学的科学家Saima Noreen告诉赫芬顿邮报)”可知，Saima Noreen后面的内容为其同位语，所以Saima Noreen应是科学家。故选B项。
【52题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Recently, Noreen and her research team have found one more reason that you should stick to this principle—forgiving somebody who has hurt you makes it easier for you to forget the unhappy memory, according to their new study.(最近，Noreen和她的研究团队发现了另一个你应该坚持这个原则的理由 - 根据他们的新研究，原谅伤害过你的人会让你更容易忘记不快乐的记忆)”可知，研究发现，宽恕伤害过你的人使你更容易忘记不快乐记忆，所以，宽恕帮助我们忘记不快乐的记忆。故选A项。
【53题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的“In the study, researchers asked volunteers to read descriptions of 40 different situations that contained bad actions such as stealing, lying and cheating. Imagining being the victims (受害者), volunteers then had to decide whether they would be able to forgive. Two weeks later, volunteers took part in a memory test.(在这项研究中，研究人员要求志愿者阅读40种不同情况的描述，这些情况包含偷窃，撒谎和作弊等不良行为。想象自己是受害者，志愿者必须决定他们是否能够原谅。两周后，志愿者参加了记忆测试)”可知，这个实验是先阅读40种不同的含有不良行为的情况，然后再将自己想象为受害者，接着确定是否原谅他们，两周后再参加记忆测试，该研究过程与D项顺序吻合。故选D项。
【54题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第四段中的“Two weeks later, volunteers took part in a memory test.(两周后，志愿者参加了记忆测试。)”可知，两周后要参加记忆测试，结合“In the test, they were shown a series of words related to the situations they had read about and then were asked to recall certain ones.(在测试中，他们被展示了一系列与他们所读到的情况相关的单词，然后被要求回忆某些单词)”的内容可知，划线单词所在的句子表述的是“记忆测试”的细节，故划线单词可猜测为“记忆，记住”的意思。故选C项。
【55题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“So Noreen hopes that one day in the near future research will give rise to powerful therapeutic (有疗效的) tools that will enable people to “forgive and forget” more effectively.(因此，诺琳希望在不久的将来的某一天，研究将产生强大的治疗工具，使人们能够更有效地“原谅和忘记”)”可知，Noreen希望在将来能有一种强大的治疗工具可以帮助人们更高效地“宽恕和忘记”，由此可推断，在未来很可能会出现治疗工具。故选D项。

【解析】
【56题详解】
考查介词短语。句意：在6日举行的艺术展览会上，将展出各种各样的艺术品。根据“in the art exhibition”可知，此处是指有很多艺术品展出，on display“展出”符合题意，作定语。故填on display。

【58题详解】
考查动词。句意：大多数人不再赞成在公共场所吸烟。根据句意，动词approve“赞成”符合题意，approve of“赞成”是固定短语，作谓语，陈述客观事实，用一般现在时，主语是复数，故填approve。

第二部分：阅读表达(共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分)
As we enjoy the summer ocean waves along the beaches, we may think nervously about Steven Spielberg’s Jaws and the great fear that sharks inspire in us.
Yet we are happy to see global efforts to protect the declining number of sharks. The world has realized that we need the species, like sharks, to keep a balanced ecosystem. Sharks, in particular, are “in” these days. Thanks to good public policy and famous stars such as Jackie Chan and Ang Lee, killing sharks for fin soup is no longer cool.
The demand for shark fins has been rising for decades, threatening sharks with extinction (灭绝)—up to 100 million sharks are killed each year just for their fins. But we have started to reverse the trend, particularly in many areas of the United States and overseas where restaurants once proudly provided delicious shark fins on the menu.
In California, a ban on the sale and possession of shark fin soup has gone into effect this year through the efforts of Wild Aid and other organizations. Overseas marketing and public efforts featuring posters on public transportation systems and TV ads have been underway for the past few years. These efforts all show signs of success, on both the supply side and the demand side of trade in shark fins.
Actually, stopping the killing of sharks is part of a broader movement to stop the killing of wild animals and the buying and selling of wildlife products. These products come from hunting elephants, tigers and rhinos, besides killing marine life. Whether it is shark fin soup or ivory piano keys, killing animals is big business. The hunting of elephants in search of ivory tusks for luxury (奢侈的) goods has become a fall-scale war. The decrease of African elephant populations is alarming. Together with international partners, the United States is leading the worldwide effort to reduce demand for high-end products that rely on killing animals.
61. Why do people begin to make efforts to protect the declining number of sharks? (No more than 15 words)
______________________________________________________
62. What’s the main reason for killing sharks? (No more than 10 Words)
______________________________________________________
63. Who helped California decide to ban the sale and possession of shark fin soup? (No more than 5 Words)

64. What does the underlined word “reverse” in Paragraph 3 mean? (1 word)
______________________________________________________
65. In your opinion, what’s the best way to stop killing animals? (No more than 20 words)
______________________________________________________
【答案】61. Because the world has realized that we need sharks to keep a balanced eco-system.
62. People kill sharks just for their fins.
63. Wild Aid and other organizations.
64. Change.
65. In my opinion, stopping selling and purchasing the animal products is the best way to stop killing animals.
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文主要讲述的是人们意识到了鲨鱼对于保持生态平衡的重要性，并开始采取行动保护日益减少的鲨鱼，同时也分析了鲨鱼数量减少的原因，并呼吁人们减少对野生动物产品的需求来减少对野生动物的猎杀。
【61题详解】
考查细节理解。根据首段中的“Yet we are happy to see global efforts to protect the declining number of sharks. The world has realized that we need the species, like sharks, to keep a balanced ecosystem.(然而，我们高兴地看到全球努力保护日益减少的鲨鱼数量。世界已经意识到，我们需要像鲨鱼这样的物种来保持生态系统的平衡。)”可知，为什么人们开始努力保护数量下降的鲨鱼是因为世界已经意识到我们需要鲨鱼来维持生态系统的平衡。。故答案是Because the world has realized that we need sharks to keep a balanced ecosystem.
【62题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第三段中的“The demand for shark fins has been rising for decades, threatening sharks with extinction (灭绝)—up to 100 million sharks are killed each year just for their fins.(几十年来，对鱼翅的需求一直在上升，威胁着鲨鱼的灭绝——每年仅为了鱼翅就杀死多达 1 亿条鲨鱼。)”可知，人们对鲨鱼翅的需求在日益增长，所以猎杀鲨鱼主要是为了得到鲨鱼翅。故答案是People kill sharks just for their fins.
【63题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第四段中的“In California, a ban on the sale and possession of shark fin soup has gone into effect this year through the efforts of Wild Aid and other organizations.(在加利福尼亚州，通过野生援助组织和其他组织的努力，禁止销售和拥有鱼翅汤的禁令已于今年生效。)”可知，在Wild Aid and other organizations的努力下，禁止销售和持有鱼翅汤的禁令开始生效。故答案是Wild Aid and other organizations.
【64题详解】
考查词义猜测。根据第四段中的“The demand for shark fins has been rising for decades, threatening sharks with extinction (灭绝)—up to 100 million sharks are killed each year just for their fins.(几十年来，对鱼翅的需求一直在上升，威胁着鲨鱼的灭绝——每年仅为了鱼翅就杀死多达 1 亿条鲨鱼。)”可知，由于对鲨鱼翅的需求日益增加，每年就有1亿多条鲨鱼被猎杀，结合下文中的but可知，划线单词所在的句子与该句的内容是转折关系，结合“we have started to reverse the trend, particularly in many areas of the United States and overseas where restaurants once proudly provided delicious shark fins on the menu.(我们已经开始reverse这一趋势，特别是在美国和海外的许多地区，餐馆曾经自豪地在菜单上提供美味的鱼翅。)”可知，很多地区的这一趋势发生了翻转，由此可推断，reverse的意思为“改变”。故答案是Change.
【65题详解】
开放型题目。根据文章最后一段中的“Together with international partners, the United States is leading the worldwide effort to reduce demand for high-end products that rely on killing animals.(美国与国际伙伴一道，正在领导全世界减少对依赖杀害动物的高端产品的需求的努力。)”可知，减少对高端产品的需求可以减少对野生动物的杀害，所以，在我看来禁止野生动物产品的买卖是最好的组织猎杀野生动物的方法。故答案是In my opinion, stopping selling and purchasing the animal products is the best way to stop killing animals.
