10．You know immediately that something strange is going on in the city of Rotorua．The air smells like bad eggs．Clouds of steam rise from the ground．Strange coverings of yellow，white，and red cover the rocks，which burn your hands．The ground shakes as a geyser （間歇泉） sends hot water 100 feet into the air．
Welcome to New Zealand's North Island，where the earth boils under your feet．This hot spot is part of the Ring of Fire，a circle of underwater volcanoes （火山） and earthquake areas around the Pacific Ocean．New Zealand sits above a place between two plates （huge rock s that form the surface of the earth）．As they slowly move together，the edge of one plate is pushed under the other，where it becomes molten （熔化的） rock．This molten rock heats rocks and groundwater lying above it，creating a hot area．Under Rotorua lies a huge amount of steam and hot water heated by molten rock．
Rotorua may not sound like a perfect place to live，but people who made their homes in the area managed to survive．The Maori people arrived 600 years ago and built villages around the hot springs．They used the hot water to wash and keep warm．They prepared their meals by placing baskets full of meat and vegetables into steaming pools．Today，the Maoris in traditional villages still use the heat the same way their ancestors did．
The people of Rotorua have learned to live above the boiling earth．Walkers in hot spots must stay on marked paths，or risk falling into a pool of boiling water．For safety，houses are not built in known hot areas．But sometimes the steam and hot water break through the ground in unexpected places．Imagine a geyser suddenly appearing in your front yard!
28．What is Paragraph 1 mainly about？B
A．How a geyser works．
B．What Rotorua is like．

11．One moment it was quiet and calm in the forest，the next，the air was changed with tension．The elephant had heard the distant alarm calls of animals and her mood suddenly changed．I urged the elephant deeper into the forest．We sounded like a forest fire-crackling，snapping．But through all the noise came a sharp wanting cry．The elephant stopped and we heard it again-the tell-tale call of a spotted deer．
I looked the shadows of the forest．Rays of sunlight shone through tree branches，beneath which the patchwork （交錯） of green plants and shadow-within-shadows would make tiger stripes （條紋） look more attractive．Apart from an occasional noise from the elephant's stomach，the forest wins silent．
Gradually，the tension slipped from our bodies．The elephant seized a nearby branch and put it into her mouth．I roached forward and gently moved my hand over the elephant's neck； there was a soft part，free of wrinkles and hairs，behind her ear．
This was my fourth time to sense the aura of the forest in Corbett，although I saw no tigers in the end．Located at the foot of the Himalayan mountains，Corbett is home to about 135 Bengal tigers，but the forest seemed to be guarding their whereabouts（ 出沒處），a silent reminder of their secrecy and rarity．Still，I was happy enough touching the elephant behind the ear．If I had so desperately wanted to see a tiger，I could have gone to a zoo．After all，spotting tigers mealy confirms their beauty；backing them can make you aware of something more．

33．Which of the following was a clear signal of alarm？B
A．The elephant stopped．
B．A spotted deer called．
C．The elephant seized a branch．
D．The forest was silent for a while．
34．The author begins his account of the tour in the forest mainly byA
A．describing various sounds     
B．comparing different animals
C．listing different activities      
D．introducing various plants
35．What does the underlined part"to sense the aura"most probably mean？C
A．To see the diversity．
B．To enjoy the scenery．
C．To feel the atmosphere．
D．To experience the freedom．

2．Harper Lee，whose 1961 novel To Kill a Mockingbird on the racial troubles of the American deep south，has died at the age of 89．
Until last year，Lee had been something of a one-book literary legend．To Kill a Mockingbird sold more than 40 million copies around the world and earned her a Pulitzer prize，remaining a towering presence in American literature．Another novel，Go Set a Watchman，was controversially published in July 2015 as a"sequel"to Mockingbird，though it was later confirmed to be Mockingbird's first draft．
But from the moment Mockingbird was published to almost instant success，the author consistently avoided public attention．Lee had lived for several years in a nursing home near the house in which she had grown up in Monroeville，Alabama-the setting for Maycomb of her famous book．Her neighbor for 40 years，Sue Sellers，said，"She was such a private person．All she wanted was privacy，but she didn't get much．There was always somebody following her around．"
James Naughtie，BBC Books Editor，commented on the novels of Harper Lee："I think she stands，particularly among American readers，as someone who shone a light into a very dark place．She was writing at a time when people were beginning to lift the lid on everything in the South which they'd chosen not to understand．That all changed in the 1960s．So I think her status for writing that book in its extraordinarily direct way will remain．"
24．What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 probably mean？C
A．Lee became successful with stories on American south．
B．People owe Lee's success to luck to some degree．
C．Mockingbird makes Lee a wonder in American literature．
D．Mockingbird was a bestseller by selling 40m copies．
25．What does"Maycomb"in Paragraph 3 probably refer to？C
A．A nursing home．
B．Lee's hometown．
C．A fictional place．
D．A main character．
26．Which best describes Americans'attitude towards racial troubles before the 1960s？B
A．Tolerant．
B．Unconcerned．
C．Sympathetic．
D．Dissatisfied．
27．What can we learn from the text？C
A．Lee based all her stories on her life．
B．Lee had to avoid being followed by her fans．
C．Lee wrote Go Set A Watchman before Mockingbird．
D．Lee lived in the house where she grew up for the whole life．

9．Holidaymakers who are bored with baking beaches and overheated hotel rooms head for a big igloo．Swedish businessman Nile Bergqvist is delighted with his new hotel，the world's first igloo hotel．Built in a small town in Lapland，it has been attracting lots of visitors，but soon the fun will be over．
In two weeks'time Bergqvist's ice creation will be nothing more than a pool of water．"We don't see it as a big problem，"he says．"We just look forward to replacing it．"
Bergqvist built his first igloo in 1991for an art exhibition．It was so successful that he designed the present one，which measures roughly 200square meters．Six workmen spent more than eight weeks piling 1，000tons of snow onto a wooden base； when the snow froze，the base was removed．"The only wooden thing we have left in the igloo is the front door，"he says．
After their stay，all visitors receive a survival certificate recording their success．With no windows，nowhere to hang clothes and temperatures below 0℃，it may seem more like a survival test than a relaxing hotel break．"It's great fun，"Bergqvist explains，"as well as a good start in survival training．"
The popularity of the igloo is beyond doubt：it is now attracting tourists from all over the world．At least 800people have stayed at the igloo this season even though there are only 10rooms．"You can get a lot of people in，"explains Bergqvist．"The beds are three meters wide by two meters long，and can fit at least four at a time．"

32．When the writer says"the fun will be over，"in Paragraph 1，he refers to the fact thatC．
A．hotel guests will be frightened at the thought of the hard test
B．holidaymakers will soon get tired of the big igloo
C．Bergqvist's hotel will soon become a pool of water
D．a(chǎn) bigger igloo will replace the present one
33．According to the text，the first thing to do in building an igloo isD．
A．to gather a pool of water        
B．to pile a large amount of snow
C．to cover the ground with ice   
D．to prepare a wooden base
34．Which of the four pictures below is the closest to the igloo hotel as described inthe text？A

35We can infer from the passage thatB．
A．Bergqvist built his first igloo because he was inspired by an art exhibition
B．a(chǎn)ll visitors can get a survival certificate after the experience
C．the igloo attracts many people because it provides a relaxing hotel break
D．many people around the world are interested in trying something new．

6．It's rare that you see the words"shyness"and"leader"in the same sentence．After all，the common viewpoint is that those outgoing and sociable guys make great public speakers and excellent networkers and that those shy people are not．A survey conducted by USA Today referred to 65 percent of executives who believed shyness to be a barrier to leadership．Interestingly，the same article stresses that roughly 40 percent of leaders actually are quite shy-they're just better at adapting themselves to situational demands．Bill Gates，Warren Buffet and Charles Schwab are just a few"innies"．
Unlike their outgoing counterparts who are more sensitive to rewards and risk-taking，shy people take a cautious approach to chance．Rather than the flashy chit-chat that defines social gathering，shy people listen attentively to what others say and absorb it before they speak．They're not thinking about what to say while the other person is still talking，but rather listening so they can learn what to say．Along the same lines，shy people share a common love of learning．They are intrinsically（內(nèi)在地） motivated and therefore seek content regardless of achieving an outside standard．
Being shy can also bring other benefits．Remember being in school and hearing the same kids contribute，until shy little Johnny，who almost never said a word，cut in？Then what happened？Everyone turned around to look with great respect at little Johnny actually talking．This is how shy people made good use of their power of presence：they"own"the moment by speaking calmly and purposefully，which translate to a positive image．
Shyness is often related to modesty．Not to say that limelight-seekers aren't modest，but shy people tend to have an accurate sense of their abilities and achievements．As a result，they are able to acknowledge mistakes，imperfections，knowledge gaps and limitations．
Since shy people have a lower sensitivity to outside rewards than outgoing ones，they're more comfortable working with little information and sticking to their inner desires．Shy people are also more likely to insist on finding solutions that aren't primarily apparent．Don't believe me？Maybe you'll believe Albert Einstein，who once said，"It's not that I'm so smart，it's that I stay with problems longer．"Obviously，finding certainty where uncertainty is typically popular is a huge plus for any successful person．
The myth that shy people are less effective leaders than their outgoing fellows is just a misunderstanding．Make wise use of your personality strengths to lead your business no matter what side of the range you fall on．
24．We can learn from Paragraph 2 thatB．
A．shy people are sensitive to rewards
B．shy people care more about content
C．outgoing people are more careful about chances
D．outgoing people consider what to learn while listening
25．The example of Johnny showsD．
A．shy people are likely to be modest
B．hardworking students speak little in public
C．some students keep silent on purpose at school
D．shy people may have an advantage in discussion
26．We can learn from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 5 thatA．
A．success results from devotion
B．shyness contributes to popularity
C．outside reward leads to insistence
D．uncertainty counts more than certainty
27．The author supports his ideas mainly byD．
A．giving definitions and presenting research results
B．explaining problems and providing solutions
C．quoting authorities and making evaluations
D．making contrasts and gibing examples．

7．Using a Cellphone to Improve Your English
When students think of learning a foreign language，the first thought is books，exercises，and recorder-tapes．Those are important to learning but sometimes a little bit boring．（36）E
Things like a cellphone can keep your interest level high．（37）A You have it with you day after day，you are familiar with how it works and you can use it to practice English whenever you have time．You don't need to have your books by your side or stay in your room to listen to tapes．Let's take a look at how to add your cellphone to your study tools．

Look at the buttons and connect those items with the new vocabulary．This enables you to master simple words and phrases with little effort．For example，each time you you're your cellphone，you'11see"messages"，"games''and"calls made"．（39）G
When you have time，take out your cellphone and start hitting buttons．You'11be surprised at all the vocabulary you can learn by playing with the different menu items．Some things you'1l recognize immediately．（40）D It can keep your learning fresh and interesting．And that's important because boredom is a big problem with language learners．You need changes and cellphone is one way to get it．

B．Cellphones are not allowed in classrooms．
C．Books and tapes are useful for your English study．
D．And others you can guess just by where you find them．

F．Set up your cellphone to use the language you want to study．
G．These words begin to take root if you see them again and again．
