Located in the middle of Turkey, the Cappadocia region is visited by millions of tourists each year who go for its volcanic rock formations, colorful cliffs and valleys, and ancient buildings carved into the rock. Here are some of the best things to do if you are visiting Cappadocia.
Hot air balloon ride
Perhaps one of the best ways to see Cappadocia's landscape is from the sky. A popular activity for tourists is a hot air balloon ride over the region, which is home to Goreme National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. As they fly, tourists can watch the natural rock tower formations known as "fairy chimneys" pass underneath, joining as many as 150 colorful balloons in the air on the same day.
Exploring underground cities
Cappadocia is also known for the 200 or more underground cities carved into its soft volcanic rock. The largest of these cities, Derinkuyu, has 18 levels of tunnels and could be over 3,000 years old. Rediscovered in the 1960s, it is one of several underground cities in the area that are now open to the public.
ATV tours
For a higher-energy experience, consider an all-terrain vehicle（ATV）tour. Often lasting around two hours, the tours will stop at some of the top places to take pictures and enjoy the view. The best time of day to do an ATV tour is at sunset, when the rocks reflect the light from the sun in pink and red colors.
Hiking trails
For those who would like to do things more slowly, the region also offers many hiking trails that pass historical sites and places to enjoy the view. For example, visitors can find churches carved into the rock in Rose Valley and see ancient pigeon houses—carved into the rock for raising pigeons—on the Pigeon Valley hike.
21. What can we know about the Derinkuyu?
A. It has a long history. B. It stands on a volcano.
C. It was discovered again in 1960. D. It is the only city open to the public.
22. In which activity are you most likely to enjoy a breathtaking sunset?
A. Hiking trails B. ATV tours
C. Hot air balloon ride D. Exploring underground cities
23. What do Hot air balloon ride and Hiking trails have in common?
A. Visitors can have a slow journey.
B. Visitors can enjoy a bird's eye view.
C. Visitors can enjoy the view of ancient sites.
D. Visitors can stop at some top places to take photos.
B
It was while watching the movie The Savages in 2009 that photographer Kendrick Brinson first caught sight of Sun City, Arizona, a big retirement community northwest of Phoenix. The film scene—with bright desert light, golf carts, and tidy rows of farm-style homes— "had this really strange, very visually interesting look to it," she says.
Since then, Brinson, 40, has gone every year to photograph Sun City's residents, some of whom have become her close friends. Observing the enthusiasm people have so many activities there, the self-described perfectionist says she learned something about herself: "I realized that I don't have to be great, or even good at something. I can just like the way it feels." She's taken up hobbies such as watercolor painting.
Opened in 1960, Sun City bills itself as the Original Fun City, designed for residents 55 and older. While retirement communities have rapidly increased across the country to meet the needs of graying baby boomers, Sun City remains one of the largest. Its 14 square miles of palm tree-lined streets feature eight golf courses, eight entertainment centers with seven water facilities, multiple malls, two libraries, a hospital, and one cemetery.
The average age of the nearly 40,000 residents is 73. Sun City has been mainly white, but Brinson says the community is starting to focus more on diversity and inclusiveness. On each visit, she finds herself filled with renewed energy. "It's this purposeful learning, socializing, playfulness that I find super fascinating," she says.
As with any group of aging people, loss is very much a part of life at Sun City; some of Brinson's friends have passed away. But residents say they don't quite mourn death. "This is not God's waiting room," one told her. "Everyone is active and doing something."
24. Who most likely lived in the Sun City?
A. Ann, a college student B. Susan, a retired banker
C. John, an employed photographer D. Candy, a newborn baby
25. What did Brinson learn from the Sun City's residents?
A. Time and tide wait for no man.
B. Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.
C. Chances are for people who are prepared.
D. No need to pursue perfection at some time.
26. What can we learn about Sun City according to the passage?
A. It has neat farm-style houses. B. It is accessible to people under 55.
C. It is the biggest entertainment city. D. It only accommodates white residents.
27. What's the residents' attitude toward loss in the Sun City?
A. Neutral B. Optimistic C. Negative D. Unclear

At last count. Debbie Baker had 3,000 Barbie dolls. Her affection may seem unusual, but experts agree: Being an excited hobbyist is good for you.
Hobbies reduce stress, says Alice Domar, director of the Mind&-Body Center for Women's Health at Harvard Medical School. They keep you from everyday worries: If you're focused on the pottery you're making. you can't be anxious about your work. says Domar. And knitting. or anything requiring repeated motion, inspires the relaxation response, a feeling of overall peace. marked by lowered blood pressure.
Hobbies provide a calming sense of control. says Domar, and research suggests this strengthens your body. You may have little say at work. but when you're woodworking. you're in charge. You get the credit and satisfaction of a job well done.
As we know. physical activity extends life. but a recent Swedish study showed less active activities are healthy as well. People who regularly took part in hobbies such as sewing and gardening were less likely to suffer mental decline. Similar research in The New England Journal of Medicine found that those who went after mind—boosting activities—such as crossword puzzles—lowered their risk of Alzheimer's disease or other dementia（老年痴呆症）. "Any hobby that challenges the brain should have a positive effect on dementia risk." says lead author Joe Verghese. a neurologist.
Many hobbies are social. From dealing cards at bridge to exchanging tips with other collectors-establishing close relationship with like-minded souls betters health. A Japanese study of almost 12,000 people found that men who were involved in hobbies or community activities were less likely to die of stroke or circulatory disorders than those who didn't.
So keep fishing or collecting dolls. Others may think you' re crazy—you know otherwise.
28. Why does the author mention Debbie Baker in the first paragraph?
A. To introduce the topic. B. To show the influence of dolls.
C. To compare with experts' opinion. D. To stress the importance of collecting dolls.
29. Why do people like woodworking?
A. It helps get relaxed. B. It helps improve intelligence.
C. It helps reduce blood pressure. D. It helps have a sense of achievement
30. Which hobby most likely reduces the risk of dementia?
A. Watching TV. B. Collecting cards. C. Playing bridge. D. Fast walking.
31. Where does the text most probably come from?
A. A science fiction. B. A news report.
C. A doll advertisement. D. A health magazine.
D
Mr. Asada is just one of many growers in Shizuoka, one of Japan's largest wasabi-growing（山葵种植）regions, who must face rising challenges from global warming and the effect of untended forests. Already. these hazards have gradually weakened the centuries-old culture of wasabi in the area and damaged the future of one of the area's most important agricultural products and its tourism business.
Over the last decade, the number of wasabi produced in Shizuoka has dropped by close to 55 percent, according to the Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries. The wasabi that comes in tubes and packets is actually a mixture of wasabi and horseradish（辣根）—or includes no wasabi at all. These days. almost only expensive restaurants have access to fresh wasabi. giving their customers a chance to experience the unique flavor and traditional culture of wasabi.
Wasabi plants grow up in spring water that flows down from the mountains, helping to improve their flavor and sweetness. Over time. local growers say, the spring water has worsened in quality due to a large number of cypress trees which grow like crazy in the untended forests.
Global warming has upset the balance even further. The delicate wasabi plants, which take more than a year to be full-grown, do best in conditions no higher than about 70 degrees Fahrenheit. In recent years, heat waves in Japan have regularly pushed temperatures into the 90s and even above 100 degrees. causing more stems to rot.
Government researchers and local growers have started to experiment with crossbreeding in an effort to develop better wasabi varieties that will grow strong even in the rising heat. The challenge is that. unlike with other crops such as cucumbers or tomatoes. getting seeds and growing seedlings from wasabi requires advanced technology. Most growers rely on specialized companies to clone seedlings in labs and greenhouses. Crossbreeding new varieties needs difficult pollination（授粉）efforts, and most of all. time.
32. What's the meaning of the underlined word "hazards" in paragraph 1?
A. signals B. adventures C. threats D. measures
33. What can we learn about wasabi according to the text?
A. It is popular in Japan. B. It likes high temperature.
C. It is damaged by the cypress trees. D. It will develop into new species very soon.
34. How do researchers help to grow wasabi in Japan?
A. They attempt to get seeds from wasabi. B. They make efforts to develop species standing the heat.
C. They depend on companies to clone seedlings. D. They help complete the process of pollination.
35. What is the best title for the text?
A. Wasabi under severe threats B. Global warming risks wasabi
C. Wasabi—a popular food choice D. Researchers and growers are saving wasabi

阅读下面材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段, 使之构成一篇完整的短文
I entered my freshman year of high school with a philosophy: work hard and do whatever 1 could succeed at. I thought I would make some impressive achievements in this way. I wouldn't waste my time on areas I was not good at.
And this philosophy served me well. I worked hard on my lessons and piano practice, which I had talent for, and got the results I wanted. usually in the shape of good grades and rewards. My friends laughed about my all-or-nothing attitude, but I thought it was the only sure path to success.
At the beginning of the second year of high school. I fully intended to keep the same attitude. Then I joined the school cross-country running team. a year after I had watched cross-country races. I joined mainly because my brother was on the team; he was entering his senior year, and I wanted to spend more time with him before he left for college. Also, many of my friends were on the team. and they had been trying to persuade me to join them for months.
When I came to the first practice. I was filled with optimism and dreamed of being an excellent runner. But as the distance we ran each practice gradually increased. I realized however hard I tried. I was the slowest on the team. And the muscle injury was often intolerable. What was the point of putting me through so much pain? I'd never be an excellent runner. For the first few weeks. I had been thinking of giving up.
Then we had our first cross-country meet. When we got off the bus at Lamoille High School. dressed in our blue uniforms with our team name shown on the shirts. the sight of the other teams warming up made me anxious. I thought I would let my team down. And I guessed my coach and teammates would be disappointed at my performance and blame me. This thought made me decide to quit the cross-country running team after the race.
Now. looking at the tough course made up of a series of short. steep（陡峭的）hills. I stood silently with my teammates.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为 150 左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答,
Together. we jogged to the starting line.


Surprisingly, my coach and teammates were smiling and cheering for me.

One possible version:
Together, we jogged to the starting line. We had a quick warm-up before the race. When the race started, I felt enormous pressure on my shoulders. I was increasingly frustrated as I watched more and more runners rush past me. I tried my best, but I still the slowest on the team. I even couldn’t find any runners around me. I thought they may be running to the final line now. It was a tiring course. Finally, I stopped running and struggled to walk up the last challenging hill. Just then, I heard people calling my name from the top of the hill.
Surprisingly, my coach and teammates were smiling and cheering for me. I was confused and embarrassed because my performance was terrible. Anyway, I stopped caring about my performance and ran to the final point with all my might. As I was jogging up the last section of the hill, my coach and teammates all applauded me for my efforts. Not until then did I realize my coach and teammates didn’t care how fast I ran . I learned I shouldn’t attach too much importance to the result. In fact, the process is more important. After that meet, I continued cross-country and focused on enjoying the journey.

M: Good afternoon, and welcome to Hollywood, California. And I’m your tour guide, Jack. I hope you all enjoy today’s tour of the houses of the stars. Here we go! Now remember, you can buy photos of all the stars’ houses when the tour is over, so please don’t take any pictures during the tour, okay? Up on the left is the house where Marilyn Monroe lived. After she got married, she left this house and moved to New York to live with her husband, a famous American baseball player named Joe Di Maggio. Now, just around the corner you’ll see a bright yellow house. Can you see it? Up on the hill? This is where James Dean lived. Finally, do you see that big gate on the right? Well, this is the entrance to Arnold Schwarzenegger’s house. Unfortunately, you can’t see the house from here, and we’re not allowed to go inside the gate.

【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了几种提高工作效率的方法。
36.C 本题考查对文章主旨和句间逻辑关系的理解。根据下文“But relax, it happens to everyone.”(但是放轻松吧，这发生在每个人身上)中的转折连词but及代词it可知，设空处描述一件普遍存在的不好的事或问题，且段末“Here are some important work tips you can follow to improve your productivity.”(这里有一些重要的工作建议，你遵循它们能够提高工作效率)点明了问题关于“productivity”。C项“You are definitely having productivity problems.”(你一定也有工作效率的问题)可与之形成语义照应。故选C项。
37.E 本题考查对句间衔接的把握。根据上文“Multitasking might help you with different tasks and you might also feel like the jack of all trades. ”(多任务处理可以帮助你处理不同的任务，你可能觉得自己是个万事通)，再结合下一句Focus on one task at a time, this will allow you to complete that task with high standards(一次只专注于一项任务，这会让你高标准地完成任务)可知37题空上应该与转折有关，E项“But your productivity won’t increase in the long run.”(但是从长远来看，你的工作效率不会提高)，可与上下文连贯。故选E项。
38.A 本题考查段落主旨，列小标题。接下来的语段都是在讲述工作之余要休息才能缓解压力提高工作效率。A项Learn to take a break(学会休息)刚好可以概括这一点，故选A项。
39.D 本题考查对段落主旨和句间衔接的把握。根据下文“What matters is how you deal with them. You can break any large task into small but manageable tasks”(重要的是你如何应对它们。你可以把任何大的任务分成小的但易于管理的任务)中的代词them可知，设空处须交代相应的指称内容，且关于“task”。D项“You will be given large and difficult tasks at work.”(你会在工作中被分配大任务及难任务)符合语境。故选D项。

完形填空
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要描述了作者追忆求学时光，每次放假归家品尝母亲烹饪的海带排骨汤，不仅温暖了“我”的内心 ，更让“我”感到无言而深沉的母爱。
41.B. 此处考察动词词义理解。signal 发信号，contain 包含，represent 象征，deliver 递送。此处表达的含义是“食物包含味道，归属感以及对爱的人的担忧”。
42.C . 此处考察名词理解和语篇运用。happiness幸福，satisfaction满足，belonging归属，achievement成就。通过对后文的总结，依据作者后文传达的情感，强调的是归家带来归属感（sense of belonging）。
43.D. 此处考察名词词义理解。courses 课程，ceremonies 仪式，terms 学期，breaks短暂假期。根据上文“live at a school apartment for most of the year”以及下文“getting off the train”可知是放假期间回家。
44.C. 此处考察形容词词义理解。precious 珍贵的，missing 不见了的，familiar 熟悉的，special 特殊的。“当走下火车，取了行李，步入熟悉的家。”故答案选C
45.A. 此处考察动词词义理解。complete 完成，confirm 确认，consume 消耗，conduct 执行。根据上文“the dish require half a day”这道菜需要半天的时间去完成。
46.B. 此处考察名词词义理解。midnight 半夜,noon 中午，dawn 黎明，dusk 黄昏。依据前文“requires half a day to complete”以及“cook it for supper”可知至少要半天时间才能炖好，那么晚上吃，就必须中午炖。
47.D. 此处考察动词词义理解。roast 烤，mix 混合，stir 搅拌，stew 炖。根据前文“steaming bowl of kelp and pork rib”热腾腾的海带排骨汤，结合生活常理可推断应是炖汤。
48.A. 此处考察副词词义理解和语篇运用。eagerly 急切地，excited 激动地，worriedly 担忧地，fearfully 害怕地。根据前文的比喻“waiting for the dish to be ready”——食客等待食物的过程是满怀期望而急切的，因此用它来比喻母亲等待儿子的过程也是急切的，而激动是见面后的心理特征。
49.D. 此处考察动词词义理解。attach 把...附上，cover 覆盖，break 打碎，lift 提起。根据前文“lid”盖子，显然这里是盖子被提起来。
50.C. 此处考察动词词义理解。float 漂浮 ，sink 下沉，flow 流动，spill洒，泼。文中此处描绘了海带汤流淌入腹中的画面。只有flow 可以表示液体的自然流动符合语境。

52.C. 此处考察动词词义理解和语篇运用。disguise 伪装,transmit 传输，reflect 表达，反映，replace代替。此题紧扣53题，根据上文可知母亲非常疼爱“我”，为我炖汤。因此这份海带排骨汤就象征着母亲对我的爱。
53.D. 此处考察词义理解和语篇运用。anxiety 焦虑，desire 渴望，expectation 期待，passion 爱。此处表达反映了母亲的爱。
54. B. 此处考察形容词词义理解和语篇运用。spicy 辛辣的，mild 温和的，bitter 苦的，unique 独特的。此处的“mild”和后文“mom’s gentle love”中gentle“温柔的”相呼应。
55. A. 此处考察名词词义理解和语篇运用。expression 表达，illustration 阐述，description 描述，information 信息。全文之中母亲虽没有用言语表达爱，却用一道精心准备的海带排骨汤温暖了我的内心，让我感到深深的母爱。故而推断出爱是无需言语表达的。
语法填空
【解析】文本是一篇说明文，主要介绍了孔子思想中“仁”的概念。
56.have been 考察谓语动词时态。根据设空处前的 “for more than 2000 years”得知句子的谓语动词要用现在完成时，并且主语 “the teachings of Confucius” 中的 “the teachings”为复数，结合句意应为被动语态，所以此处填have been。
57.to be educated 考察动词固定搭配。设空处前有 “were expected”，考察词组 “be expected to do sth.”，结合句意为“被教育”，所以此处填to be educated。
58.both 考察连接词。both...and... 用于连接两个并列的事物，设空处后面的 “in China” 和 “in other East Asian countries” 为并列关系，且两者之间又有 “and”， 所以此处填both。
59.the 考察冠词。设空处前面提到的“a Chinese character”与空后的 “character ren”为同一事物，都指的是汉字“仁”；上文提到的事物，在下文再次提及时，则用不定冠词the进行修饰，所以此处填the。
60.closely 考察词性转换。设空处前面的词为动词 “look”，此处应为副词修饰动词，close要转换为副词closely，所以此处填closely。
61.what 考察从句连接词。设空处前面的 “understand” 为主句的谓语动词， “understand” 后面应为句子的宾语，设空处后面的“ it means”为一个句子，因此设空处应填一个连接词去引导宾语从句，且在后面 “ it means”这个句子中充当宾语成分。所以根据句意得知，此处填what。
62.joined 考察非谓语动词。根据句意得知，主句主语“ the two elements” 应是“被结合在一起”，与join构成动宾关系，此处填joined做状语。
63.highest 考察形容词最高级。根据句意得知，“孔子教导仁是最高级的道德原则”，设空处前有定冠词the, 应填形容词最高级，所以此处填highest。
64.by 考察介词。设空处后面是由介词+which 引导的非限制性定语从句，介词 “by” 源于定语从句中谓语动词 “be measured by”的固定搭配，所以此处填by。
65.analysis 考察词性转换。设空处前的 “in -depth” 为形容词，表示“彻底的，深入的”，由句意可知其后应接名词，动词analyze 要转换为名词analysis，所以此处填analysis。
