C

            Several years ago,my wife and I spent a few days in Berlin,staying at the Park Inn in Alexanderplatz,where we got an unusual surprise.

            We arrived in the afternoon,tired from our early flight,and were checked in by a rather formal young man. We decided to have a lie down for ten minutes before exploring the city. As I lay down with my eyes half shut,I saw a shadow pass the window.,aProbably a seagull

            I thought. Then the same thing happened again,but this time there was a cry coming through the balcony doors.

I got up,opened the sliding doors and went out onto the balcony to investigate — just in time to see a human body screaming past me towards the square below before safely (變慢) just a few meters from the ground. I found out it's a sport called base jumping (高處跳傘).

            Once we knew what was happening,we got used to. it. It went on for a short time each day,and it was only the people that laughed loudly as they went down that disturbed me. (I tried to persuade my wife to have a go,but she said no!)

           On our last day,we checked out and the same rnsenW (寡言少語的) young man served us. “I hope that you enjoyed your stay,” he said.

           “Actually,” I replied, “it would have been nice to have been warned when we checked in about the base jumpers falling past our balcony."

            He paused and considered for a moment,ay/zckr (閃 現(xiàn)) of a smile appearing on one side of his mouth. “Yeah,” he said. “Perhaps we should warn people in the fliture." I knew that he wouldn,t. It was their little joke. Berliners,believe it or not,have a famous sense of humor.

9. What did the author plan to do first with his wife after they were checked in?

   A. Visit the city.    B. Take a hot bath.

   C. Have a short rest. D. Take some photos.

10. What did the author see when he stepped onto the balcony?

11. What the author said in Paragraph 6 shows that .

   A. he was quite satisfied with the service

   B. he wanted to be a base jumper as well

   C. he thought the base jumpers were brave enough

   D. he should have been told about base jumping before

12. What did the author mean by the underlined sentence in the last paragraph?

   A. Berliners were friendly.

   B. Berliners were reserved.

   C. He didn't trust the young man.

   D. He enjoyed the young man's humor.

9. C 10. C 11. D 12. C

        C篇

作者講述了他和妻子在德國(guó)柏林度假時(shí)在賓館的意外體驗(yàn)。

9. C. 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中的We decided to have a lie down for ten minutes before exploring the city可知，作者和妻子入住后，打算先休息一會(huì)兒再出去。

10. C. 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段中的just in time to see a human body screaming past me 和 I found out it's a sport called base jumping 可知，作者走到陽臺(tái)上，剛好看到一個(gè)高處跳傘的人從身邊經(jīng)過。

11. D. 推理判斷題。根據(jù)第六段作者所說的話可推知，作者認(rèn)為在他入住前就應(yīng)該被告知嵩處跳傘這件事。

12. C. 推理判斷題。根據(jù)劃線部分前面的I knew that he wouldn’t 和后面的 Berliners,believe it or not,have a famous sense of humor 可推知，作者并不相信那個(gè)年輕人說的話。

                                     B 

           Teens who spend hours on the Internet may be at risk for high blood pressure. Researchers found that teens who spent at least 14 hours a week on the Internet had their blood pressure increased. Of 134 teens described by researchers as heavy Internet users,26 had higher blood pressure.

           This is believed to be the only study to show a link between time spent on the Internet and high blood pressure. The findings add to growing research that has shown an association between heavy Internet use and other health risks like anxiety,depression,obesity and social isolation.

          “Using the Internet is part of our daily life,but it shouldn’ t  destroy us,” says Andrea,a researcher at Henry Ford's Department of Public Health Sciences and the study's  lead author. uIn our study,teens considered heavy Internet users were on the Internet an average of 25 hours a week. It's important that young people take regular breaks from their computers or smartphones,and engage in some form of physical activity. I recommend children to limit their time at home on the Internet. I think two hours a day,five days a week is OK."

          Andrea says school nurses could condudt annual health screenings (檢查) in which blood pressure and Internet use behavior could be assessed. Students with high blood pressure would then have a follow-up visit to determine the next step.

          Researchers analyzed data collected from 335 teens aged 14 to 17 who participated in the study. Participants completed a 5 5-question survey of their Internet use during one week. Researchers found that teens spent an average of 15 hours a week on the Internet at either school or home; 39 percent of girls were heavy Internet users compared to 43 percent of boys; 43 percent of heavy Internet users were considered overweight compared to 26 percent of light Internet users.

   D. It found heavy Internet users were likely to have mental problems：

6. Andrea advises teens to .

   A. have regular checkups

   B. limit their time at home

   C. spend less time on the Internet

          The playground game of hg (捉人游戲) was temporarily banned at a Washington elementary school,but the ban was met by parent protests at a time when school recess (休息) is considered by many educators as one of the keys to better test scores.

          Parents,at Lakeridge Elementary School protested when they learned that the school's new “hands off’policy designed to reduce injuries during recess — also forbade tag. 

         “While at play,especially during recess and unstructured time,students are expected to keep their hands to themselves. The reason behind this is to^ ensure the physical and emotional safety of all students,Mary Grady of the Mercer Island School District said.

          Many Mercer Island parents protested that an exciting recess game of chase and touch was not only safe,but also healthy. ”O(jiān)ur kids need some unstructured playtime,” a concerned mother Kdsey Joyce said. “I totally survived tag."

          After further pushback,the school district finally gave up the ban and announced tag was back. Many schools tried to improve standardized test scores  by cutting recess time several years ago,but elementary principals(校長(zhǎng)) reafized that playtime had actually helped students’ test performance. More than 80 percent of principals said recess improved academic achievement,according to a survey.

         Rather than banning tag,a non-profit organization called Playworks suggests using the game to teach conflict resolution,or even just for fun. u\ think a game like tag is wonderful/' Playworks Director Jonathan Blasher said. “It's important for kids to have that free-range play.^ Playworks was started in 1996 to prevent fights at recess that led to the ban on tag at Lakeridge Elementary School. Rather than forbid eertain;games,the group places coaches in schools during recess to suggest new ones. The idea was to both free teachers from breaking up fights and help children return to class

refreshed and with a few life skills.

   A. It led to kids’ unhealthy habits.

   B. It was considered dangerous.

   C. It met with parent protests.

   D. It made the school noisy.

                          ★★★★☆

            Is there any hope for the r/nVio (蘇門答臘犀牛)？Only about 100 of these small,hairy rhinos remain on the planet. And only a few of them exist in the wild. Scientists are lucky to spot one or two on camera traps every couple years. Like all other rhino species,Sumatran rhinos have been poached (偷獵)for their valuable horns,which are used in traditional Asian medicine and can sell at high prices. Although rhino horns have no medical effects,they are used to “treat” everything.

             That it's  so hard Jto find the last wild Sumatran rhinos dnesn't  stnn nnar.hp.rc frnm trvino Rarlipir thic year the species was declared extinct in the wild m Borneo. A year earlier,some people rescued what now appears to have been the last wild Bornean rhino in Malaysia from a poacher's trap. That rhino,a female named Iman,was briefly thought to be a sign of hope for the species. At the time of her rescue,it appeared that she was pregnant. That didn’t  turn out to be the case. Examinations showed that she — like many of the remaining females in her species — was suffering from a disease ihat prevented her from becoming pregnant.

              Another sign of hope arrived this month. A Sumatran rhino named Harapan — whose name means “hope” 一 arrived in Indonesia as part of a program. The American rhino joined his older brother,Andalas,who arrived in Sumatra in 2007 and fathered a rhino in 2012. All previous breeding efforts in Indonesia failed — for 140 years ‘— until Andalas arrived. Andalas* mate,Ratu,is now expecting her second baby rhino.

              However,any rhinos in captivity would not help the remiaining wild rhinos,because they probably wouldn't be able to be released into the jungle after being raised among humans. That means protecting the few wild rhinos remains important.

13. What do we know about the wild Sumatran rhino from Paragraph 1 ?

   A. It lives a safer life than before.

   B. Its horn is seldom used in medicine.

   C. It isn't afraid of being taken pictures.

   D. It is extremely hard to see in the wild.

14. Why didn* t Iman become pregnant?

   A. Because she was too old.

   B. Because there was no male rhino. 

   C. Because her health didn't allow it.

   D. Because she got injured in the trap.

15. Harapan was brought to Indonesia to .  

   A. unite' with Ratu

   B. father rhinos there

   C. be released into the wild

   D. help scientists do research

16. The last paragraph mainly shows that.

   A. a few wild rhinos have been found recently

   B. wild Sumatran rhinos should be well protected

   C. many of the remaining female rhinos have got a bad disease

   D. the Sumatran rhinos in captivity will be released into the jungle
