But my happy image became a nightmare when Allen and his older brother, Leo, showed up with a truck filled with camping equipment tents, sleeping bags, and water bottles, We were going on survival training!The ever-efficient Leo was keen to leave the city behind us and urged us to

10、 hurry. Several hours later, as we drove through the forest, the mountains seemed bigger than I remembered; the trees were larger, and the environment felt more threatening.At the trailhead, Leo tied a sleeping bag onto my already heavy pack and lectured Allen and me about hiking rules. Then, with L

11、eo in the lead, we set off along the narrow and steep dirt track that wound up the mountain.After 6 hours of climbing, we finally reached the top. My legs aching, I dropped my pack and groaned but there was no time to rest. "We need to set up camp quickly," said Leo." There are dark c

18、story?A. Satisfied.B. Optimistic.C. Scared.D. Disappointed.CSleep, considered a luxury by many, is essential for a person's wellbeing. Researchers have found that insufficient sleep and tiredness increase a person's risk of developing severe medical conditions, such as obesity (being very ov

19、erweight), high blood sugar levels, and heart disease. Now, a new study has found that getting sufficient sleep is also the key to improving academic performance.Jeffrey Gross, the university science professor who led the research, was not trying to find the relationship between sleep and grades whe

20、n he handed out smart watches to the 100 students in his chemistry class. Instead, the professor hoped the wrist-worm devices, which track a person's physical activity, would show a connection between exercise and academic achievement.While Gross's data showed no relationship between these t

21、wo factors, the study found something surprising. As the researchers were analyzing their data, they noticed that there was a straight-line relationship between the average amount of sleep a student got and their results in the course's 11 quizzes, three midterm tests, and the final exam.Even mo

22、re interesting, it was not sufficient for students to just head to bed early the night before a test. Instead, it's the sleep you get during the days when learning is happening that matters most.The time students went to bed each night was similarly important. Those who went to bed in early hour

23、s of the morning performed poorly, even if the total sleep time was the same as a higher-performing student. "When you go to bed matters," Gross says, "If you go to bed at 10, or 12, or 1 at night, and sleep for seven hours, your performance is the same. But if you go to bed after 2,

24、your performance starts to go down even if you get the same seven hours. So, quantity isn't everything."Perhaps the most interesting was the huge impact that small differences in sleep patterns had on the students' grades. The overall course grades for students averaging six and a half

25、hours of sleep each night were 25% lower than students who averaged just one hour more sleep. Similarly, students who varied their bedtime by even onehour each night had grades that dropped 45% below those with more regular bedtimes.Who knew getting A's just required some extra ZZZ's?28. Bas

29、 A person who sleeps for a total of 7 hours each night.DHow affordable is high culture? One great myth of our time is that tickets for opera, theatre, ballet and orchestral (管弦樂)concerts are too expensive, especially for the young. This is infuriating as, in Britain, at least, the claim is ridiculou

30、s and offensive. The cheap tickets to hear London's orchestras range from £ 7 to £ 9 same as a cinema ticket, and lower than the entry price to many pop music and comedy clubs. For comparison, when the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra performs with top soloists and conductors the che

31、apest seat is £ 30; and at the Berlin Philharmonic, it's an expensive £ 46.Finding cheap tickets to the opera and ballet isn't so easy. True. British companies don't charge the ridiculous high prices found on the Continent ( £ 2,000 for a good seat at a premiere of La Scal

32、a's Carmen last December), but the tickets are still pretty steep. Large fees paid to star performers mostly account for that. Luckily, however, one spectacular techmological innovation has transformed the scene. It's live (or slightly delayed) cinema transmissions. The New York Metropolitan

33、 Opera now beams its shows to 800 cinemas round the world, and British companies aren't far behind. Cinematic opera is excellent value. For the cost of a good bottle of wine (£ 10or £15 for the Royal Opera House's shows) you can sit in your local movie-house and see a high-definiti

34、on relay of what's occurring on the world's grandest stages. No, it's not the same as being there, but it's almost as good. The sound is incredible. The images, particularly of dancers, are fantastic. And you can react to the show as part of a live audience, rather than sitting on yo

35、ur own at home.To me, this mountain of evidence, together with free museum admissions, indicates that the arts world should stop worrying that its audiences are still mostly middle-class. Anyone who can afford to visit a pub can also afford to see top-quality drama, music and dance. The real battle

36、now should be ensuring that school children are given enough tastes of high culture to make them want to buy all those cheap tickets when they grow up.32. What does the underlined word "infuriating" in paragraph 1 mean?A. Quite interesting. B. Very annoying. C. Not certain. D. Extremely ob

37、vious. 33. What is the main reason for expensive opera tickets?A. The amount of money charged by top performers.B. The costly technology required for broadcast.C. The demand of companies for big profits.D. The high cost of renting the stages.34. Which of the follow ing is true about cinematic opera?

38、A. People can decide where to watch the opera.B Audiences are discouraged from responding to The performances.C. It provides an inexpensive way of enjoying a live opera performance.D. The sound and visual quality are superior to the live performance. 35. Which statement would the author agree with?A

39、. The quality of opera performances is improving.B. High culture is becoming more affordable in Europe.C. The cost of access to high culture activities should be lowered.D. Children should be encouraged to participate in high culture events.弟二節(jié)（共5小題；每小題2分，滿分10分）根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項，選項中有兩項多余。

40、Learning to understand spoken English can be difficult. Learners must not only master new sounds, but also learn conversational idioms. That's a let to learn! But they may soon realize there is something else going on. 36 These different styles of speaking are called "registers". In th

41、eir work, language experts identify three major factors that affect the register of spoken English: the place of the conversation, the relationship of the speakers, and the purpose of the conversation.37 Even two best friends who work and live together may speak more formally to each other in the of

42、fice. At home, one might say, "C'mon, I wanna leave." The same person at work might say, "Are you ready to go now?"The relationship of the speakers also affects the language they use with each other. People speak less formally to friends and more formally to strangers. 38 Peo

43、ple who know each other well might use more idioms and more slang in their speech. An angry woman might tell her daughter to "hush your mouth" and her sister to "quiet down".Finally, the purpose of the conversation affects people's speech. A person who want to ease hurt feeli

44、ngs uses a soft, quiet tone. 39Few speakers realize that they change registers according to these factors. 40 We are not aware that we make these changes. We accept the changeability of the weather, but we often refuse to accept the changeability of speech.A. In fact, most people strongly deny it.B.

45、 People generally speak less at work than they do at home.C. The very same person speaks differently in different situations.D. Therefore, we should be careful not to hurt each other with our speech.E. On the other hand, a person who wants to pick a fight speaks rapidly and loudly.F. The place where

46、 the conversation takes place directly affects the language of the conversationG. Because they already share information and experience with friends, they do not need to explain as much.第三部分英語知識運用（共兩節(jié)，滿分 45分）第一節(jié) 完形填空（共20小% 每小題1.5分，滿分30分）閱讀下面短文，從短文后各題所給的A、B、C和D四個選項中，選出最佳選項。.Have you ever heard someon
