Camping tips: Which overnight wilderness experience is right for you
If you’re an experienced backpacker, read no further. This article is for camping rookies, those who have never slept beneath the stars or haven’t pitched a tent since their youth but are seriously thinking about overnighting in the wilderness.
Car camping
At its most basic, car camping involves packing a tent, sleeping bag, fold-up chair, cooler and camp stove into your vehicle and staying at a drive-up campground. Nearly every national park, and many state and county parks and private facilities, offer drive-up campgrounds with restrooms, potable water, fire rings or pits, and maybe even hot showers. So there are lots of choices.
The downside of car camping is the fact that these campgrounds are often packed with other campers. Not a lot of privacy, they can be noisy, and possibly hinder your quest of communing with nature.
Backpacking
No vehicle required; just your feet and a good pair of hiking boots or shoes to get you to the next overnight spot. A multi-day hiking trip is without doubt the most immersive way to experience the great outdoors.
Different from maybe car camping, it requires the least expense and equipment. All you really need are a backpack, sleeping bag, water bottle, small first-aid kit, enough food to last the entire travel. It can be done just about anywhere on the planet.
Boat Camping
While this does involve owning or renting a watercraft or using a ferry or water taxi service to reach the overnight site, camping via canoe, kayak, raft or boat offers a similar get-away-from-it-all adventure as backpacking.
Experienced paddlers and boaters usually prefer to camp on their own along a secluded shoreline. But many adventure or wilderness outfitters offer guided trips that can last anywhere from a couple of days to two or three weeks. With a boat, you can sometimes camp places that not even backpackers can reach.
1. Who are the intended readers
A. Red-blooded males B. White-collar staff
C. Blue-blooded tourists D. Green-hand campers
2. What can you learn from the passage
A. Backpacking allows you to communicate with nature deeply.
B. Car camping is the most economic way to experience nature.
C. The drive-up campgrounds provide people with private environment.
D. Boat camping offers the same adventures as backpacking.
3. In which column will you find this passage
A. Feature B. Style C. Travel D. Entertainment
【答案】1. D 2. A 3. C

When I first heard about Summit Learning, I admitted I was not a bit happy and excited at all. I thought it would require interactions with others. But later, I was astonished when I got to experience it firsthand.
Recently, we did a poetry project, and one of the activities was a peer (同龄人) review. I would never have taken part if it was up to me, as I preferred to work independently. But when I got involved, I found in the experience, I had done something that I thought was nearly impossible — it made my poetry better. My partner informed me of my mistakes and told me where I could give more detail.
One of our final products of the project was to present our poetry to the class. I’ve always loved public speaking, but I thought with Summit Learning, I would have fewer chances to speak. I was wrong. The peer activities we did with a partner gave me more belief in my ability and inspired me to do more to make my presentation the best it could possibly be.
Interactions like these are what Summit Learning is all about. This style of learning brings a positive and hard-working culture that allows us to push our boundaries and keep going. It creates a sense of community since we are all working towards a similar goal.
As an active boy, I have always been ahead and advanced, but in a normal classroom, there are restrictions on what I can do. With Summit Learning, I can go beyond expectations in projects or move ahead in learning new content when I’m ready. I have ownership of my work and pursue my goals.
Summit Learning has showed me how much people can grow and change. It has helped me see people and myself differently. It has been one of the greatest experiences of my life, and I cannot see myself going back to a normal classroom.
4. What was the author’s initial response to Summit Learning
A He was unwilling to attend it. B. He was excited to take part in it.
C. He was astonished to hear about it. D. He was unhappy to withdraw from it.
5. How did the poetry project benefit the author
A. It boosted his confidence. B. It developed his sense of humor.
C. It reminded him to be independent. D. It taught him how to organize activities.
6. What can be inferred about Summit Learning
A. It proves the limits of one’s abilities. B. It teaches poetry in a normal classroom.
C. It transforms the traditional way of learning. D. It promotes diversity of classroom objectives.
7. How does the author find Summit Learning now
A. Demanding. B. Admirable. C. Upsetting. D. Conventional.
【答案】4. A 5. A 6. C 7. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者参与Summit Learning的经历。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“When I first heard about Summit Learning, I admitted I was not a bit happy and excited at all. (当我第一次听说Summit Learning时，我承认我一点也不高兴和兴奋)”可知，当作者第一次听说Summit Learning时，他承认自己很不乐意参加。故选A。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The peer activities we did with a partner gave me more belief in my ability and inspired me to do more to make my presentation the best it could possibly be. (我们和一个伙伴一起做的同伴活动让我对自己的能力更有信心，并激励我做更多的事情，使我的演讲尽可能最好)”可知，Summit Learning的学习经历让作者对自己的能力更有信心。故选A。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的“This style of learning brings a positive and hard-working culture that allows us to push our boundaries and keep going. (这种学习方式带来了积极和勤奋的文化，使我们能够突破自己的界限并继续前进)”和第五段中的“As an active boy, I have always been ahead and advanced, but in a normal classroom, there are restrictions on what I can do. (作为一个好动的男孩，我一直走在前面，不断进步，但是在一个正常的教室里，我所能做的是有限制的)”可知，Summit Learning改变了传统的学习方式，让作者突破限制并继续前进。故选C。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Summit Learning has showed me how much people can grow and change. It has helped me see people and myself differently. It has been one of the greatest experiences of my life, and I cannot see myself going back to a normal classroom. ( Summit Learning向我展示了人可以成长和改变多少。它帮助我以不同的方式看待别人和自己。这是我一生中最伟大的经历之一，我无法想象自己会回到正常的教室)”可推知，作者认为Summit Learning是值得赞赏的。故选B。
C
There is a wide gap between China and developed economies such as the US and South Korea in terms of the chip industry. However, the nation has taken big steps in charting its own course, which is evident in its chip industry’s growth. And China can meet 85 percent of its domestic demand if the chip industry fully applies the 14-nanometer transistor (晶体管) technology. In fact, this could become a reality in three to four years. Still, China lags behind in the processing and manufacturing of chips, as well as chip design and packaging.
Yet there is a silver lining for China, because the US’ technology blockade (封锁) helps remove the domestic objections to the development of the chip industry. The story of China’s LCD industry could be repeated in the chip industry this time: China has made joint efforts in the past ten years and now secures more than 60 percent of the LCD market.
Nevertheless, there should not be a mad rush across the country to develop chips. The government should offer encouragements to state-owned as well as privately owned enterprises to produce high-quality chips. The measure of freeing integrated circuit-making enterprises of paying corporate income tax for two years is a good move in this direction.
Also, China has about 1,700 semiconductor enterprises. They should be encouraged to pool their resources and technologies and strengthen their business operations so they can achieve breakthroughs in core technologies.
Besides, China should build a friendlier environment to attract talents from across the world to its chip industry. It’s indeed alarming that China faces a shortage of 300, 000 professionals in the chip industry. As Ren Zhengfei, founder and CEO of Huawei, said, “We had adopted a money-pumping approach in the past to develop the electronic industry. However, it takes more than money to develop chips. We should try our best to win over mathematicians and physicists.”
8. What’s the author’s attitude towards China’s chip industry
A. Subjective. B. Objective. C. Indifferent. D. Doubtful.
9. What does the underlined phrase “a silver lining” in paragraph 2 probably refer to
A. A great success. B. A strong desire. C. A positive side. D. A slim chance.
10. What do we know about China’s LCD industry from the text
A. It is a highly profitable industry. B. It developed rapidly ten years ago.
C. It is less important than the chip industry. D. It went through difficulties previously.
11. What’s the author’s purpose of writing the text
A. To list some disadvantages of China’s chip industry.
B. To analyze the US’ influence on China’s chip industry.
C. To show the rapid development of China’s chip industry.
D. To provide advice on the development of Chin’s chip industry.
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. D 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讨论了中国在芯片行业的发展和挑战，并提出具体的建议。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“There is a wide gap between China and developed economies such as the US and South Korea in terms of the chip industry. However, the nation has taken big steps in charting its own course, which is evident in its chip industry’s growth. And China can meet 85 percent of its domestic demand if the chip industry fully applies the 14-nanometer transistor (晶体管) technology. In fact, this could become a reality in three to four years. Still, China lags behind in the processing and manufacturing of chips, as well as chip design and packaging.(在芯片产业方面，中国与美国、韩国等发达经济体之间存在很大差距。然而，这个国家在规划自己的道路上迈出了一大步，这在其芯片产业的增长中显而易见。如果芯片行业完全应用14纳米晶体管技术，中国可以满足85%的国内需求。事实上，这可能在三到四年后成为现实。尽管如此，中国在芯片的加工和制造以及芯片设计和封装方面仍然落后。)”可知，作者在文中谈到中国芯片产业与发达国家的差距，但也肯定了其进步。由此推知，作者对中国芯片产业的态度是客观的。故选B项。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段“Yet there is a silver lining for China, because the US’ technology blockade (封锁) helps remove the domestic objections to the development of the chip industry. The story of China’s LCD industry could be repeated in the chip industry this time: China has made joint efforts in the past ten years and now secures more than 60 percent of the LCD market.(然而，对中国来说也有a silver lining，因为美国的技术封锁有助于消除国内对芯片产业发展的反对意见。这一次，中国LCD产业的故事可能会在芯片行业重演：中国在过去的十年里共同努力，现在占据了60%以上的LCD市场。)”可知，中国LCD产业正是因为美国的技术封锁才取得了现在骄人的成就，由此推知，划线短语“a silver lining”是指美国的封锁也具有“积极的一面”，与“A positive side”同义。故选C项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“The story of China’s LCD industry could be repeated in the chip industry this time: China has made joint efforts in the past ten years and now secures more than 60 percent of the LCD market.(这一次，中国LCD产业的故事可能会在芯片行业重演：中国在过去的十年里共同努力，现在占据了60%以上的LCD市场。)”可推知，由于发达国家的技术封锁，中国LCD产业以前经历过十年的困难时期。故选D项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文，结合第三段“Nevertheless, there should not be a mad rush across the country to develop chips. The government should offer encouragements to state-owned as well as privately owned enterprises to produce high-quality chips. The measure of freeing integrated circuit-making enterprises of paying corporate income tax for two years is a good move in this direction.(然而，不应该在全国范围内疯狂地开发芯片。政府应该鼓励国有企业和民营企业生产高质量的芯片。集成电路制造企业免征企业所得税两年的措施就是朝这个方向迈出的一大步。)”、第四段中“Also, China has about 1,700 semiconductor enterprises. They should be encouraged to pool their resources and technologies and strengthen their business operations so they can achieve breakthroughs in core technologies.(此外，中国有大约1700家半导体企业。鼓励中小企业集中资源和技术，加强经营，实现核心技术突破。)”和第五段中“Besides, China should build a friendlier environment to attract talents from across the world to its chip industry. (此外，中国应该建立一个更友好的环境，以吸引来自世界各地的人才到中国的芯片产业。)”可推知，在客观介绍中国芯片行业面临的问题和机遇后，作者也为中国芯片产业的发展提供了建议，这是作者写作篇文章的目的。故选D项。
D
A group of researchers studying the behavior of Amur tigers, also known as Siberian tigers, have found that they have different “personality” types that help them survive and raise their baby tigers.
According to the previous investigation, Amur tigers are definitely the largest cuts in the world. They live in vast forests in wildness areas of eastern Russia and in protected areas of northern China. There are about 400 of these tigers left in the wild, although there are probably hundreds more living in zoos or reserves.
The researchers based the study on a human test called “The Big Five”, which scores people on five personality features. They asked feeders working with 248 cats in two shelters to spy on the tigers and give an account of their personalities. The results divided the tigers into two groups, which the researchers described as having either “majesty” or “steadiness”. Tigers in the majesty category were those that appeared “dignified (高贵的) and ambitious”. The tigers in the steadiness category were “sincere and tolerant”.
Majestic tigers had a higher social status, spent more time hunting live animals, and mated and ate more. The steady tigers seemed gentler and loving toward one another. Rosalind Arden, co-author of the study, said, “It’s pleasant to see that you don’t have to be dominant, fierce, competitive, and aggressive in order to succeed as a tiger, which doesn’t correspond with people’s traditional insights into tigers.”
There were female and male tigers in both categories. In fact, female Amur tigers are rare and feel exhausted after giving birth to baby tigers so that fathers often help raise the baby tigers. Having a steady personality, especially for male ones, could play a significant role in the relatively long amount of time — two to three years — that baby tigers stay with their parents. The researchers say both personalities have advantages that help the tigers survive threats, including loss of habitat and hunting. The team hopes the study will encourage more support from all walks of life in a bid to guarantee the tigers’ conservation.
12. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 2
A. To justify an argument.
B. To add background information.
C. To summarize the previous paragraph.
D. To introduce a new topic for discussion.
13. The researchers conducted the study on Amur tigers by
A. categorizing them for inspection
B. scoring them on 5 personality features
C. doing comparison experiments in the lab
D. observing them through a personality test
14. What does Rosalind Arden think of their findings
A. They improve Amur tigers’ welfare.
B. They change the tigers’ living conditions.
C. They help the reproduction of Amur tigers.
D. They contradict traditional ideas about tigers.
15. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. Few sex-related differences exist in tigers’ personalities.
B. A steady personality decreases tigers’ chance of survival.
C. Greater conservation efforts have been made due to the study.
D. Personality types of baby tigers are influenced by their parents.
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. D 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项新的研究发现，该研究表明，东北虎有不同的“性格”类型，而这也有助于东北虎的生存和抚养幼虎。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“A group of researchers studying the behavior of Amur tigers, also known as Siberian tigers, have found that they have different “personality” types that help them survive and raise their baby tigers.(一组研究东北虎(也被称为西伯利亚虎)行为的研究人员发现，它们有不同的“性格”类型，这有助于它们生存和抚养幼虎。)”可知，第一段主要介绍了一项新的研究发现；而第二段“According to the previous investigation, Amur tigers are definitely the largest cuts in the world. They live in vast forests in wildness areas of eastern Russia and in protected areas of northern China. There are about 400 of these tigers left in the wild, although there are probably hundreds more living in zoos or reserves(根据之前的调查，东北虎绝对是世界上数量下降得最多的。它们生活在俄罗斯东部荒野地区的广阔森林和中国北部的保护区。野生老虎大约有400只，不过可能还有数百只生活在动物园或保护区。)”则补充了介绍了东北虎的背景信息。故选B。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“The researchers based the study on a human test called “The Big Five”, which scores people on five personality features. They asked feeders working with 248 cats in two shelters to spy on the tigers and give an account of their personalities.(研究人员的研究基于一项名为“大五人格”的人体测试，该测试对人们的五种性格特征进行评分。他们要求饲养员在两个收容所照顾248只老虎，监视老虎，并描述它们的性格。)”可知，研究人员通过性格测试对东北虎进行了观察研究。故选D。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Rosalind Arden, co-author of the study, said, “It’s pleasant to see that you don’t have to be dominant, fierce, competitive, and aggressive in order to succeed as a tiger, which doesn’t correspond with people’s traditional insights into tigers.”(该研究的合著者Rosalind Arden说：“很高兴看到，要想成为一只成功的老虎，你不必是强势的、凶猛的、有竞争力的和好斗的，这与人们对老虎的传统看法不相符。”)”可知，Rosalind Arden认为他们的发现与人们关于老虎的传统观念相矛盾。故选D。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“There were female and male tigers in both categories. In fact, female Amur tigers are rare and feel exhausted after giving birth to baby tigers so that fathers often help raise the baby tigers.(两个类别中都有雌虎和雄虎。事实上，雌性东北虎非常罕见，在生下幼虎后会感到筋疲力尽，所以东北虎爸爸经常帮助抚养幼虎。)”可知，两个类别中都有雌虎和雄虎，由此可推断出老虎的性格中几乎没有与性别有关的差异。故选A。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了中国古代的治疗方法已经沿着丝绸之路传播了两千多年，但“一带一路”倡议(BRI)进一步推动了中医药的国际化。
【36题详解】
考查动词时态。句意：中国古代的治疗方法已经沿着丝绸之路传播了两千多年，但“一带一路”倡议(BRI)进一步推动了中医药的国际化。分析句子可知，空处作谓语动词，由时间状语for over two millennia可知，此处应为现在完成时，或强调“传播”这一动作一直正在进行，使用现在完成进行时，主语Chinese healing methods为复数名词，所以谓语动词应用原形形式。故填have spread/have been spreading。
【37题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：今年是“一带一路”倡议提出10周年，“一带一路”倡议以连接世界、促进共同繁荣为宗旨，将中医药治病的力量带到更多国家和地区，弥合了不同文化的隔阂，促进了国际合作。分析句子可知，空处引导非限制性定语从句，aims与先行词the BRI之间是所属关系，空处应用关系代词whose引导定语从句。故填whose。
【38题详解】
考查介词。句意：今年是“一带一路”倡议提出10周年，“一带一路”倡议以连接世界、促进共同繁荣为宗旨，将中医药治病的力量带到更多国家和地区，弥合了不同文化的隔阂，促进了国际合作。分析句子可知，此处为动词短语bring…to…“把……带到……”，满足句意要求，所以此处应填入介词to。故填to。
【39题详解】
考查冠词。句意：在布达佩斯，匈牙利中医中为那些因各种健康问题而寻求缓解的患者带来了一线希望。分析句子可知，此处为固定短语a ray of hope“一线希望”，ray是辅音音素开头的单词，前边应用不定冠词a。故填a。
【40题详解】
考查形容词。句意：一位80岁的退休教师约瑟夫·弗雷尼奥就是这样的一个病人，他五年前因为中耳发炎而听力受损。由空后teacher为名词可知，此处为形容词retired“退休的”作定语修饰该名词，满足句意要求。故填retired。
【41题详解】
考查动词。句意：从那以后，他不得不使用助听器——直到两个月前他来到中心，一个“奇迹”发生了。分析句子可知，空处作谓语动词，由句中动词visited可知，句子使用一般过去时，动词使用过去式形式。故填occurred。
【42题详解】
考查动名词的被动语态。句意：来自中国西北部甘肃省的中医专家张海芳给他做了10多次针灸治疗后，约瑟的听力有了明显改善。由空前介词After可知，空处应填动名词形式作宾语，give和逻辑主语Jozsef为被动关系，所以空处应填动名词的被动式。故填being given。
【43题详解】
考查副词。句意：来自中国西北部甘肃省的中医专家张海芳给他做了10多次针灸治疗后，约瑟的听力有了明显改善。由副词修饰动词可知，此处为副词significantly作状语修饰动词improved。故填significantly。
【44题详解】
考查名词复数形式。句意：约瑟夫的儿子Csaba Frenyo一直在与肥胖相关的健康问题作斗争，该中心也帮助了他。根据句意以及issue为可数名词可知，此处应为名词复数形式issues“问题”，表示泛指，满足句意要求。故填issues。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：针灸和草药治疗的结合帮助他在一个月内减掉了9公斤，减轻了背部和膝盖的疼痛。分析句子可知，此处为非谓语动词作状语，结合语意可知，他减掉9公斤，自然而然的结果是减轻背部和膝盖的疼痛，所以空处应用现在分词形式作结果状语。故填easing。

47. 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。
It was a dream born in fire. Andrea Peterson was 5 when she was trapped on the ledge (窗台) of a burning building.
“Throw the kid down!” said one of the firemen below, whose eyes are firm and courageous, along with professional rescue techniques. Seeing this, little Andrea jumped into lifesaving arms and a life-long ambition: She wanted to fight fires as her rescuers did.
She told that to the men who had saved her, and they laughed naturally the way grown-ups do when a kid says he wants to be an astronaut or a sports star. But this was back in a time when little girls weren’t even allowed to fantasize (幻想) about such grand goals.
“You’ll be a good mommy,” the firemen told her. “You’ll be a good teacher, maybe you’ll be a nurse, but you can never be a fireman.”
Indeed, life sidelined her ambitious dream. She was studying for a degree in aviation technology (航空科技) and that’s where she met her husband, Dennis. Unfortunately, Dennis was diagnosed with cancer. Peterson spent 31 years caring for the man she loved, and in 2007, when Dennis was about to leave, he was at peace but worried for her. “But what are you going to do ” “I’ll be fine,” she told him.
At 61, she attended a course for emergencies. She went on an ambulance ride-along from time to time. It turned out to be a life-and-death situation, which reminded her of the childhood experience back in the fire. But every time she saw people who were in need were successfully rescued, Peterson felt that long-ago childhood calling. She earned her emergency medical technician license and responded to fire calls with the ambulance. She found that her years of tending to Dennis had prepared her for dealing with the variety of hurts and ills. The inside calling echoed increasingly stronger.
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。
After a year, she signed up for a training unit for firefighters.

Finally came the written and physical fitness test day.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 After a year, she signed up for a training unit for firefighters. No sooner had she stepped into the training venue than she found all her classmates were 18-22 young kids. “Could I really make it ” Peterson thought to herself, struggling. At the very moment, she was once again thought of the firm and courageous eyes of the firefighters who came to rescue her over 50 years ago. She instantly rolled up her sleeves and began to learn both theoretical and practical knowledge as her much younger peers.
Finally came the written and physical fitness test day. For Peterson, she was at an advantageous situation for the theoretical part, as her past rescue experiences on ambulance ride-along made her a qualified rescuer already. However, the 3-km running, push-ups, sit-ups, etc. all behaved as huge gaps awaiting her to conquer. Though she ranked the last among such items, her persistence, endurance as well as the passion for a childhood dream made her name appear on the list of newly-announced firefighters. This time, tears blurred her eyes, as the dream born in the fire was eventually fulfilled.

Camping tips: Which overnight wilderness experience is right for you
If you’re an experienced backpacker, read no further. This article is for camping rookies, those who have never slept beneath the stars or haven’t pitched a tent since their youth but are seriously thinking about overnighting in the wilderness.
Car camping
At its most basic, car camping involves packing a tent, sleeping bag, fold-up chair, cooler and camp stove into your vehicle and staying at a drive-up campground. Nearly every national park, and many state and county parks and private facilities, offer drive-up campgrounds with restrooms, potable water, fire rings or pits, and maybe even hot showers. So there are lots of choices.
The downside of car camping is the fact that these campgrounds are often packed with other campers. Not a lot of privacy, they can be noisy, and possibly hinder your quest of communing with nature.
Backpacking
No vehicle required; just your feet and a good pair of hiking boots or shoes to get you to the next overnight spot. A multi-day hiking trip is without doubt the most immersive way to experience the great outdoors.
Different from maybe car camping, it requires the least expense and equipment. All you really need are a backpack, sleeping bag, water bottle, small first-aid kit, enough food to last the entire travel. It can be done just about anywhere on the planet.
Boat Camping
While this does involve owning or renting a watercraft or using a ferry or water taxi service to reach the overnight site, camping via canoe, kayak, raft or boat offers a similar get-away-from-it-all adventure as backpacking.
Experienced paddlers and boaters usually prefer to camp on their own along a secluded shoreline. But many adventure or wilderness outfitters offer guided trips that can last anywhere from a couple of days to two or three weeks. With a boat, you can sometimes camp places that not even backpackers can reach.
1. Who are the intended readers
A. Red-blooded males B. White-collar staff
C. Blue-blooded tourists D. Green-hand campers
2. What can you learn from the passage
A. Backpacking allows you to communicate with nature deeply.
B. Car camping is the most economic way to experience nature.
C. The drive-up campgrounds provide people with private environment.
D. Boat camping offers the same adventures as backpacking.
3. In which column will you find this passage
A. Feature B. Style C. Travel D. Entertainment
B
When I first heard about Summit Learning, I admitted I was not a bit happy and excited at all. I thought it would require interactions with others. But later, I was astonished when I got to experience it firsthand.
Recently, we did a poetry project, and one of the activities was a peer (同龄人) review. I would never have taken part if it was up to me, as I preferred to work independently. But when I got involved, I found in the experience, I had done something that I thought was nearly impossible — it made my poetry better. My partner informed me of my mistakes and told me where I could give more detail.
One of our final products of the project was to present our poetry to the class. I’ve always loved public speaking, but I thought with Summit Learning, I would have fewer chances to speak. I was wrong. The peer activities we did with a partner gave me more belief in my ability and inspired me to do more to make my presentation the best it could possibly be.
Interactions like these are what Summit Learning is all about. This style of learning brings a positive and hard-working culture that allows us to push our boundaries and keep going. It creates a sense of community since we are all working towards a similar goal.
As an active boy, I have always been ahead and advanced, but in a normal classroom, there are restrictions on what I can do. With Summit Learning, I can go beyond expectations in projects or move ahead in learning new content when I’m ready. I have ownership of my work and pursue my goals.
Summit Learning has showed me how much people can grow and change. It has helped me see people and myself differently. It has been one of the greatest experiences of my life, and I cannot see myself going back to a normal classroom.
4. What was the author’s initial response to Summit Learning
A. He was unwilling to attend it. B. He was excited to take part in it.
C. He was astonished to hear about it. D. He was unhappy to withdraw from it.
5. How did the poetry project benefit the author
A. It boosted his confidence. B. It developed his sense of humor.
C. It reminded him to be independent. D. It taught him how to organize activities.
6. What can be inferred about Summit Learning
A. It proves the limits of one’s abilities. B. It teaches poetry in a normal classroom.
C. It transforms the traditional way of learning. D. It promotes diversity of classroom objectives.
7. How does the author find Summit Learning now
A. Demanding. B. Admirable. C. Upsetting. D. Conventional.

There is a wide gap between China and developed economies such as the US and South Korea in terms of the chip industry. However, the nation has taken big steps in charting its own course, which is evident in its chip industry’s growth. And China can meet 85 percent of its domestic demand if the chip industry fully applies the 14-nanometer transistor (晶体管) technology. In fact, this could become a reality in three to four years. Still, China lags behind in the processing and manufacturing of chips, as well as chip design and packaging.
Yet there is a silver lining for China, because the US’ technology blockade (封锁) helps remove the domestic objections to the development of the chip industry. The story of China’s LCD industry could be repeated in the chip industry this time: China has made joint efforts in the past ten years and now secures more than 60 percent of the LCD market.
Nevertheless, there should not be a mad rush across the country to develop chips. The government should offer encouragements to state-owned as well as privately owned enterprises to produce high-quality chips. The measure of freeing integrated circuit-making enterprises of paying corporate income tax for two years is a good move in this direction.
Also China has about 1,700 semiconductor enterprises. They should be encouraged to pool their resources and technologies and strengthen their business operations so they can achieve breakthroughs in core technologies.
Besides, China should build a friendlier environment to attract talents from across the world to its chip industry. It’s indeed alarming that China faces a shortage of 300, 000 professionals in the chip industry. As Ren Zhengfei, founder and CEO of Huawei, said, “We had adopted a money-pumping approach in the past to develop the electronic industry. However, it takes more than money to develop chips. We should try our best to win over mathematicians and physicists.”

10. What do we know about China’s LCD industry from the text
A. It is a highly profitable industry. B. It developed rapidly ten years ago.
C. It is less important than the chip industry. D. It went through difficulties previously.
11 What’s the author’s purpose of writing the text

A group of researchers studying the behavior of Amur tigers, also known as Siberian tigers, have found that they have different “personality” types that help them survive and raise their baby tigers.
According to the previous investigation, Amur tigers are definitely the largest cuts in the world. They live in vast forests in wildness areas of eastern Russia and in protected areas of northern China. There are about 400 of these tigers left in the wild, although there are probably hundreds more living in zoos or reserves.
The researchers based the study on a human test called “The Big Five”, which scores people on five personality features. They asked feeders working with 248 cats in two shelters to spy on the tigers and give an account of their personalities. The results divided the tigers into two groups, which the researchers described as having either “majesty” or “steadiness”. Tigers in the majesty category were those that appeared “dignified (高贵的) and ambitious”. The tigers in the steadiness category were “sincere and tolerant”.
Majestic tigers had a higher social status, spent more time hunting live animals, and mated and ate more. The steady tigers seemed gentler and loving toward one another. Rosalind Arden, co-author of the study, said, “It’s pleasant to see that you don’t have to be dominant, fierce, competitive, and aggressive in order to succeed as a tiger, which doesn’t correspond with people’s traditional insights into tigers.”
There were female and male tigers in both categories. In fact, female Amur tigers are rare and feel exhausted after giving birth to baby tigers so that fathers often help raise the baby tigers. Having a steady personality, especially for male ones, could play a significant role in the relatively long amount of time — two to three years — that baby tigers stay with their parents. The researchers say both personalities have advantages that help the tigers survive threats, including loss of habitat and hunting. The team hopes the study will encourage more support from all walks of life in a bid to guarantee the tigers’ conservation.
12. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 2
A. To justify an argument.
B. To add background information.
C. To summarize the previous paragraph.
D. To introduce a new topic for discussion.
13. The researchers conducted the study on Amur tigers by
A. categorizing them for inspection
B. scoring them on 5 personality features
C. doing comparison experiments in the lab
D. observing them through a personality test
14. What does Rosalind Arden think of their findings
A. They improve Amur tigers’ welfare.
B. They change the tigers’ living conditions.
C. They help the reproduction of Amur tigers.
D. They contradict traditional ideas about tigers.
15. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A Few sex-related differences exist in tigers’ personalities.
B. A steady personality decreases tigers’ chance of survival.
C. Greater conservation efforts have been made due to the study.
D. Personality types of baby tigers are influenced by their parents.

47. 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。
It was a dream born in fire. Andrea Peterson was 5 when she was trapped on the ledge (窗台) of a burning building.
“Throw the kid down!” said one of the firemen below, whose eyes are firm and courageous, along with professional rescue techniques. Seeing this, little Andrea jumped into lifesaving arms and a life-long ambition: She wanted to fight fires as her rescuers did.
She told that to the men who had saved her, and they laughed naturally the way grown-ups do when a kid says he wants to be an astronaut or a sports star. But this was back in a time when little girls weren’t even allowed to fantasize (幻想) about such grand goals.
“You’ll be a good mommy” the firemen told her. “You’ll be a good teacher, maybe you’ll be a nurse, but you can never be a fireman.”
Indeed, life sidelined her ambitious dream. She was studying for a degree in aviation technology (航空科技) and that’s where she met her husband, Dennis. Unfortunately, Dennis was diagnosed with cancer. Peterson spent 31 years caring for the man she loved, and in 2007, when Dennis was about to leave, he was at peace but worried for her. “But what are you going to do ” “I’ll be fine,” she told him.
At 61, she attended a course for emergencies. She went on an ambulance ride-along from time to time. It turned out to be a life-and-death situation, which reminded her of the childhood experience back in the fire. But every time she saw people who were in need were successfully rescued, Peterson felt that long-ago childhood calling. She earned her emergency medical technician license and responded to fire calls with the ambulance. She found that her years of tending to Dennis had prepared her for dealing with the variety of hurts and ills. The inside calling echoed increasingly stronger.
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。
After a year, she signed up for a training unit for firefighters.
