维A 阅读理解(每题2分，满分8分)
(2012·江西卷)For those who make journeys across the world，the speed of travel today has turned the countries into a series of villages.Distances between them appear no greater to a modern traveler than those which once faced men as they walked from village to village.Jet planes fly people from one end of the earth to the other，allowing them a freedom of movement undreamt of a hundred years ago.
Yet some people wonder if the revolution in travel has gone too far.A price has been paid，they say，for the conquest (征服) of time and distance.Travel_is_something_to_be_enjoyed，not_endured(忍受)．The boat offers leisure and time enough to appreciate the everchanging sights and sounds of a journey.A journey by train also has a special charm about it.Lakes and forests and wild，open plains sweeping past your carriage window create a grand view in which time and distance mean nothing.On board a plane，however，there is just the blank blue of the sky filling the narrow windows of the airplane.The soft lighting，inflight films and gentle music make up the only world you know，and the hours progress slowly.
Then there is the time spent being “processed” at a modern airport.People are conveyed like robots along walkways；baggage is weighed，tickets produced，examined and produced yet again before the passengers move to another waiting area.Journeys by rail and sea take longer，yes， but the hours devoted to being “processed” at departure and arrival in airports are luckily absent.No wonder，then，that the modern highspeed trains are winning back passengers from the airlines.
Man，however，is now a world traveler and cannot turn his back on the airplane.The working lives of too many people depend upon it；whole new industries have been built around its design and operation.The holidaymaker，too，with limited time to spend，patiently endures the busy airports and the limited space of the flight to gain those extra hours and even days，relaxing in the sun.Speed controls people's lives；time saved，in work or play，is the important thing—or so we are told.Perhaps those first horsemen，riding free across the wild，open plains，were enjoying a better world than the one we know today.They could travel at will，and the clock was not their master.

Plan ahead to make your family trip run smoothly
Family vacations
are
cherished
memories.Keeping children entertained on the road or during a flight，however，can be challenging.The best way to cut down on anxiety？Plan ahead.
Avoid giving children snacks that contain sugar and caffeine. Sweet treats keep them happy and quiet for five minutes，as it fills them with unusable energy that will turn into crankiness (偏执) when the sugar wears off.Bring fun，small snacks like flavored baked chips，apple sauce，raisins，and granola bars—and top it off with a little protein like cheese sticks to keep the blood sugar levels nice and steady.
Bring plenty of plastic or paper bags. This is the perfect time to put those spare bags around the house to use.Store them in your purse or pocket，as well as in the car.This is a quick solution for garbage，diaper wrapping or motion sickness.
Avoid extra costs on bulk items you will need during the trip. When flying，purchase bulk items like diapers，formula，and wipes at your destination.In the past，it was convenient and free to check these items.Now，each checked luggage item costs $25 or more on average.When driving，do the opposite; take your bulk items to avoid extra trips to the store when you arrive，which can help you avoid impulse travel purchases.
Bring a full change of clothing for each child. Keep these items within fairly easy reach.When a spill or mess happens，this will help parents avoid unexpected (and unbudgeted) clothing purchases.
Travel planning can help make family vacations what they are supposed to be: Fun! What are some of your favorite strategies for saving time and stress while traveling with children?
Notes：
diaper n．尿布 ②formula n．配方奶 ③wipe n．湿巾
长短句分析：When driving，do the opposite; take your bulk items to avoid extra trips to the store when you arrive，which can help you avoid impulse travel purchases.
句法点睛：when driving在前半句作时间状语，when you arrive在后半句中作时间状语；which引导非限制性定语从句在从句中作主语，指代前面的句子。
句意：开车旅行的时候，要做相反的事情——带上你的东西，以免当你到达目的地后还得去商店购物，从而避免冲动性购物。
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了如何才能有比较愉快的家庭旅行经历——提前计划好一切。
1．Which of the following can keep the blood sugar levels nice and steady?
A．Coffee.
B．Apple pie with sugar in it.
C．Candies.
D．Cheese sticks.
答案 D [细节理解题。由第二段最后一句“...and top it off with a little protein like cheese sticks to keep the blood sugar levels nice and steady.”可知，cheese sticks可以帮助降低血糖。前三项都是含有糖和咖啡因的食物，会使孩子情绪暴躁，不可选。]
2．Why should you bring plenty of plastic or paper bags during vacation?
A．Because you can use them to keep garbage，vomit (呕吐物) and wrap diaper.
B．Because they can prevent you from being stolen.
C．Because big bags can hold more items，which brings you much convenience.
D．Because they can save you $25.
答案 A [细节理解题。由第三段最后一句“This is a quick solution for garbage，diaper wrapping or motion sickness.”可知，塑料袋和纸袋可以帮助你收垃圾、晕车时的呕吐物，还可以帮助包裹尿布。B项和C项在文中均无信息支持；D项是坐飞机时不带行李的好处。]
3．Which is the proper place for you to buy bulk items when driving?
A．At the destination.
B．At wherever you can buy cheaper ones.
C．At the place you just go out of the things you need.
D．In the stores near your house.
答案 D [推理判断题。由第四段可知，如果你计划坐飞机，那么在目的地买这些东西比较划算。但是，如果你计划开车，那么在出发前就要购置好这些东西。A项是坐飞机旅行时的选择；B项和C项在文中均无信息支持。]
4．What should parents do to avoid unexpected clothing purchases during their vacation?
A．Do not let children make their clothes dirty.
B．Bring a full change of clothing for each child.
C．Wash the dirty clothes frequently.
D．Do not allow children eat during their vacation.
答案 B [细节理解题。由倒数第二段可知，家长要给孩子带足够的换洗衣服，以避免他们弄脏衣服后要花额外的钱来买衣服。]
维D 根据短文内容，从下框的A～F选项中选出能概括每一段主题的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余项。(每题2分，满分10分)
It may be cold outside but winter needn't be the unhealthiest time of year for you and your family.Here are five ways to make sure that even when your body is telling you to hibernate (避寒) you can keep healthy and fit，no matter what the weather's like.
1.
“On average we sleep sixandahalf hours a night，much less than seven to nine hours recommended，”says Jessica Alexander，spokesperson at the Sleep Council，which aims to raise awareness of the importance of a good night's sleep to health.But in winter，we naturally sleep more，due to the longer nights.“It's perfectly natural to adopt hibernating habits when the weather turns cold，”says Jessica.“Use the time to catch up.”
2.
You are 80% more likely to get a cold in winter so making sure your immune system is in top condition is important.Milk and dairy products such as cheese，yoghurt are great sources of protein and vitamins A and B12.They're also an important source of calcium，which helps keep our bones strong.Try to go for semiskimmed or skimmed milk，rather than fullfat，and lowfat yoghurt.
3.
When it's cold and dark outside it can be tempting to fill up on unhealthy comfort food，but it's important to ensure that you still keep your diet healthy and include five portions of fruit and vegetables a day.Winter vegetables such as carrots，parsnips，and turnips can be roasted，mashed or made into soup for a comforting winter meal for the whole family.Explore varieties of fruit and vegetables that you may not normally eat.
4.
Don't use the cold winter months as an excuse to stay in and lounge around.Instead，get out with the whole family to try out a new activity，maybe iceskating or taking a bracing winter walk on the beach.Regular exercise helps to control your weight，boost your immune system and is a good way to break the tension that can be built if the family is constantly cooped up inside the house.
5.
Winter is the perfect season for porridge.Eating a warm bowlful on a cold morning isn't just a delicious way to start your day，it also helps you to boost your intake of starchy foods and fibre，which give you energy and help you to feel fuller for longer，stopping the temptation to snack midmorning.Oats (燕麦) also contain lots of vital vitamins and minerals.Make your porridge with semiskimmed or skimmed milk or water，and don't add sugar or salt.Add a few dried apricots，some raisins，a sliced banana or other fruit for extra flavour and to help you hit the fiveaday target.
答案 1.C 2.A 3.D 4.F 5.B
