  (2015年吉林省实验中学月考)

  In summer, some people avoid outdoor activities because they don't want to get hot and sticky or sun burnt. Luckily, there are some outdoor activities which don't involve breaking sweat.

  River rafting

  Hot summer weather and cool water-what a perfect match! River rafting can be both scenic and exciting. When the raft follows a gentle stream, the views of the countryside or valley is like a traditional Chinese painting. And when you enter white water where the riverbed creates a natural roller coaster, you feel a rush of adrenaline(肾上腺素). Paddle your raft to the riverbank to have a picnic or barbecue which will taste best when you are starving.

  Where to find: River rafting trips are usually on offer in mountainous or valley regions such as the Three Gorges.

  Tips: Wear a helmet and life jacket at all times; bring enough sunscreen; and bring lots of water.

  Caving

  People say that the only naturally air-conditioned place in summer is a big cave. It is true. Cave tours featuring light shows are old hat. Now it's time to wear a lamp no your helmet like a mineworker to explore caves in darkness. Exploring unknown caverns and navigating underground rivers is what makes caving so thrilling. Plus, caving can be a very healthy sport, for the oxygen level is usually higher so basically you are having an oxygen spa as the bonus.

  Where to find: Caving can be very risky, so consult local travel agents and go in groups with professional cavers.

  Tips: Follow your guides; drink enough water to avoid dehydration(脱水);and wear strong and not easily damaged hiking boots.

  Coastal walking/cycling and beach activities

  For those who live far away from mountains, coastal regions and beaches are good places to spend time in the summer. With sea breezes in your hair, it is nice to take a hike or cycle ride while enjoying the coastline. If you want to be sportier, try beach games, such as soccer and volleyball. It's a totally different experience from playing on hard courts or grass.

  Where to find: Just go to the beach or find an urban artificial beach such as the one in Chatoyant Park in Beijing or the man-made lake beach in Wuhan

  Tips: Loads of sunscreen needed; water and snacks are necessary; be aware of jellyfish and garbage floating in the water.

  What does the underlined words “old hat” in Paragraph 5 mean?

  A.Out of fashion.

  B. Out of the way.

  C. A particular fashion.

  D. A unique style

  2.

  If you love river rafting trips, you can

  .

  A. go to the beach

  B. explore caves

  C. do some outdoor activities

  D. drift the boat downstream

  3. What is specially needed to explore caves?

  A. An oxygen spa.

  B. A professional caver.

  C. A lamp.

  D. A helmet

  4. Helen lives in a big city, where is the best place for her to spend weekends?

  A. A riverbank

  B. Underground rivers

  C. An urban artificial beach.

  D. Mountainous areas.

  语篇解读

  夏天时,一些人总是对户外运动唯恐避之不及,因为不想变得又热又黏。幸运的是,有些户外运动完全没有那样的问题, 例如漂流、 洞穴探险和沙滩运动等。

  A 词义猜测题。根据上下文可知,old hat 修饰 cave tours featuring light shows,而后文说现在可以像矿工一样,在安全帽上加上一盏探照灯探索未知洞穴。比较四个选项可知old hat 在此处的意思为“过时的”。

  D细节理解题。根据小标题River rafting 及它下面的段落可知,如果你喜欢漂流,可以去划着皮筏子沿河而下。

  B 细节理解题。根据小标题Caving 及它下的段落Caving van be very risky, so consult local travel agents and go in groups 所以要咨询当地的旅行社并与专业洞穴探险者一同前往。故专业的洞穴探险者很重要。

  C 推理判断题。根据文介绍的三种运动可知,漂流需要去河流边,洞穴探险需要去洞穴里,而沙滩运动也可以去城市中找到一处人造海滩进行。

  阅读理解。

  There’s an energy crisis in America, and it has nothing to do with fossil fuels. Millions of us get up each morning already weary over the day holds. “I just can’t get started.” People say. But it’s not physical energy that most of us lack. Sure, we could all use extra sleep and a better diet. But in truth, people are healthier today than at any time in history. I can almost guarantee that if you long for more energy, the problem is not with your body.

  What you’re seeking is not physical energy. It’s emotional energy. Yet, sad to say life sometimes seems designed to exhaust our supply. We work too hard. We have family obligations (义务). We encounter (遭遇) emergencies and personal crises. No wonder so many of us suffer from emotional fatigue (疲劳), a kind of utter exhaustion of the spirit.

  And yet we all know people who are filled with joy, despite the unpleasant circumstances of their lives. Even as a child I observed people who were poor or disabled or ill, but who nevertheless faced life with optimism and vigor (活力). Consider Laura Hillenbrand, who despite

  an extremely weak body wrote the best-seller Seabiscuit. Hillenbrand barely had enough physical energy to drag herself out of bed to write. But she was fueled by having a story she wanted to share. It was emotional energy that helped her succeed. Unlike physical energy, which is finite (有限的) and diminishes (减少) with age, emotional energy is unlimited and has nothing to do with genes or upbringing. So how do you get it? You can’t simply tell yourself to be positive. You must take action. Here are six practical strategies that work.

  1. Do something new.

  Very little that’s new occurs in our lives. The impact of this sameness on our emotional energy is gradual, but huge: It’s like a tire(轮胎) with a slow leak(漏). You don’t notice it at first, but eventually you’ll get a flat. It’s up to you to plug the leak—even though there are always a dozen reasons to stay stuck in your dull routines of life. That’s where Maura, 36, a waitress, found herself a year ago. Fortunately, Maura had a lifeline—a group of women friends who meet

  regularly to discuss their lives. Their lively discussions spurred Maura to make small but nevertheless life altering changes. She joined a gym in the next town. She changed her look with a

  short haircut and new black T-shirts. Eventually, Maura gathered the courage to quit her job and start her own business. Here’s a challenge: If it’s something you wouldn’t ordinarily do, do it. Try

  a dish you’ve never eaten. Listen to music you’d ordinarily tune out. You’ll discover these small things add to your emotional energy.

  2. Reclaim life’s meaning.

  So many of my patients tell me that their lives used to have meaning, but that somewhere along the line things went stale (厌倦的). The first step in solving this meaning shortage is to figure out what you really care about, and then do something about it. A case in point is Ivy, 57, a pioneer in investment banking. “I mistakenly believed that all the money I made would mean something.” she says. “But I feel lost, like a 22-year-old wondering what to do with her life.” Ivy’s solution? She started a program that shows Wall Streeters how to donate time and money to poor children. In the process, Ivy filled her life with meaning.

  3. Put yourself in the fun zone.

  Most of us grown-ups are seriously fun-deprived(缺乏的). High-energy people have the same day-to-day work as the rest of us, but they manage to find something enjoyable in every situation. A real estate broker I know keeps herself amused on the job by mentally redecorating the houses she shows to clients(客户). “I love imagining what even the most run-down house could look like with a little tender loving care,” she says. “It’s a challenge—and the least desirable properties are usually the most fun.” We all define fun differently, of course, but I can guarantee this: If you put just a bit of it into your day, you energy will increase quickly

  4. Bid farewell (告别)to guilt and regret.

  Everyone’s past is filled with regrets that still cause pain. But from an emotional energy point of view, they are dead weights that keep us from moving forward. While they can’t merely be willed away, I do recommend you remind yourself that whatever happened in the past, nothing can change that. Holding on to the memory only allows the damage to continue into the present.

  5. Make up your mind]

  Say you’ve been thinking about cutting your hair short. Will it look stylish—or too extreme? You endlessly think it over. Having the decision hanging over your head is a huge energy drain. Every time you can’t decide, you burden yourself with alternatives. Quit thinking that you have to make the right decision; instead, make a choice and don’t look back.

  6. Give to get.

  Emotional energy has a kind of magical quality: the more you give, the more you get back. This is the difference between emotional and physical energy with the latter. You have to get it to be able to give it. With the former, however, you get it by giving it. Start by asking everyone you meet, “How are you?” as if you really want to know, and then listen to the reply. Be the one who hears. Most of us also need to smile more often. If you don’t smile at the person you love first thing in the morning, you’re sucking energy out of your relationship. Finally, help another person—and make the help real, concrete. Give a massage to someone you love, or cook her dinner, then, expand the circle to work. Try asking yourself what you’d do if your goal were to be helpful rather than efficient. After all, if it’s true that what goes around comes around, why not make sure that what’s circulating around you is the good stuff?

  1. Laura Hillenbrand is an example quoted to show how ________ in life.

  A. physical energy can contribute to one’s unsuccess

  B. emotional energy can contribute to one’s success

  C. physical energy can contribute to one’s success

  A. inherited and genetically determined

  A. cannot help control

  B. cannot help increase

  C. can help control

  D. can help increase

  4. Ivy filled her life with meaning by launching a program to ________.

  A. help herself

  B. teach herself

  C. teach poor children

  D. help poor children

  Friends play an important part in our lives,and although we may take the friendship for granted,we often don’t clearly understand how we make friends.While we get on well with a

  number of people,we are usually friends with only a few.For example,the average among students is about 6 per person.In all the cases of friendly relationships,two people like one another and enjoy being together,but beyond that,the degree of intimacy between them and the reasons for their shared interests vary greatly.As we get to know people,we take into account things like age,race,economic conditions,social position,and intelligence.Although these factors are not of great importance,it is more difficult to get on with people when there is a marked difference in age and background.

  Some friendly relationships can be kept on argument and discussion,but it is usual for close friends to have similar ideas and beliefs,the same opinions and interests.They often talk about “being_on_the_same_wavelength”.It generally takes time to reach this point.And the more intimately involved people become,the more they depend on one another.People who want to be friends have to learn to put up with annoying habits and to stand differences.

  In contrast with marriage,there are no friendship ceremonies to strengthen it between two people.But the supporting and understanding of each other that results from shared experiences and feelings does seem to create a powerful bond,which can overcome differences in background,and break down barriers of age,class or race.

  1.According to the passage,________.

  A.friends are those who must share their interests

  B.friends are closer than people who just get on well with each other

  C.all the people know how to make friends

  D.every student has six friends

  2.We can learn from the passage that________.

  A.there are no special ceremonies to strengthen friendship

  B.friendship can overcome all differences between two people

  C.difference in opinion can lead to friendship

  D.friendship can be strengthened by smiles and soft voices

  3.The underlined words “being on the same wavelength” in Paragraph 2 mean that people________.

  A.watch the same TV programs

  B.are the same in all ways

  C.have the same background

  D.share the same way of thinking and the same interests

  4.Which of the following is NOT implied in the passage?

  A.Even friends may have different opinions.

  B.Friends never argue with each other.

  C.It generally takes time for people to become close friends.

  D.Someone’s habits may annoy his friends.
