Americans think that travel is good for you. Some even think it can
help with one of the country’s worst problems—
crime
(犯罪). Young
criminals often come from sad homes, with only one parent or no parents
at all.
There are many criminals in prison. But prison doesn’t change them.
One man, Bob Burton, thought of a new idea. In the old days, young
men had to live a difficult life on the road. They learned to be strong
and brave, and to help their friends in time of danger. This helped them
to grow into men. So Bob started “Vision Quest”. He takes young criminals
on a long, long journey with horses and
wagons
(马车), 3,000miles through
seven states. They are on the road for more than a year.
The young people on “Vision Quest” all have bad problems. Most of
them have already spent time in prison. This is their last chance.
It’s hard work on the road. The day starts before the sun comes up.
The boys and girls have to feed the horses. Some of them have never loved
anyone before. But they can’t love their horses enough. They began to
love their partners. That love can help them to live a new life.
Not all the young people on “Vision Quest” will leave crime behind
them. But Bob is right. Travel can be good for you. Even today, Americans
still say, “Go west, young man.”
36. From this passage we may infer that .
A. getting up before the sun rises can help people out of crime
B. love can help young people to start a new life

37. On “Vision Quest”, .

38. In the last paragraph, “leave crime behind them” means
“ ”.
A. no longer
commit
(犯) crimes
B. leave the people who commit crimes
C. commit all the crimes
D. leave criminals behind
39. Why is Bob Burton right?

C. Because the young criminals have a hard life on the road.
D. Because he can stop crime in the country.

had broken toes, because a car just backed over my foot. And here this
whole car was on top of her. I wasn’t expecting it to turn out as wonderful
as it did.” The first-grader was flown to Children’s Mercy Hospital in
Kansas City by an air
ambulance
(救护车), but didn’t have to stay long.

For many years, people in American cities have depended on farmers
in rural areas to grow fruits and vegetables. But now a new generation
of farmers is planting crops in urban areas.
Sean Conroe is a college student. Amber Banks is a teacher. They
were
both
engaged in
(忙于„„) farming and gardening. Sean Conroe and Amber
Banks wanted to start a farm in the middle of Seattle, Washington. “There
are a lot of neighborhoods that don’t have access to healthy and fresh
produce. And if they do, it can be very expensive. So we see unused space
as a great place to grow food that will make it more accessible to people.”
Says Amber Banks.
Sean Conroe created a website to get volunteers and donations. Within
a week, they were offered a plot of land between two houses. He says twenty
volunteers worked for six weekends to turn the grassy land into a farm.
They call their project Alleycat Acres. The Alleycats have harvested about
ninety kilograms of produce so far. They have donated most of it to local
food banks that feed hungry people in Seattle.
Bridget Barni is sitting in the dirt picking
lettuce
(生菜). She is
one of eighty people who are volunteering at this urban farm. Like a lot
of the volunteers, she does not have much gardening experience.
One of the goals of the urban farm is to show city people the joy of
growing food. The Alleycats invite school groups to the farm to help out.
And Amber Banks says they want the same people who get food donations to
learn how to work the soil. Sean Conroe says the Alleycats are expanding
to other empty areas of Seattle. So are a lot of other urban farming groups.
46. What is the text mainly about?
A. An urban farming group.
B. Urban people’s way of getting vegetables.
C. The early
promoters
(创办人) of urban farming.
D. Farm produce in America.
47. Sean Conroe created a website to .
A. spread the knowledge of urban farming
B. get workers and the land they need
C. collect food for hungry people
D. promote his project
48. What have the Alleycats done with their produce?
A. They have eaten most of it themselves.
B. They have sold most of it.
C. They have given away most of it to help hungry people.
D. They have divided most of it among the volunteers.
49. What do we know about Bridget Barni?
A. She is an expert with a lot of gardening experience.
B. She is one of the founders of the Alleycats.
C. She is a volunteer with little gardening experience.
D. She is doing all the hard work in the Alleycats.
50. The last paragraph suggests that .

An American teenager who fell through an icy pond last December says
that a television show about
survival
(幸存) helped save his life, and
now his story is headed to television as well.
Joe Clopton, 13, was on an ice-covered Waldon Pond in Shawnee with
his brother when the ice gave way and he fell into the cold water. “I
held myself up with my
nails
(指甲) dug in,” said Clopton. He says that
a
Discovery Channel
program about surviving in the wild called “Man Vs
Wild” saved his life, as he remembered survival tips for just such a
situation.
Clopton says that he knew from watching the show that he had to take
deep breaths to stay calm. He kept telling himself that it was going to
be okay.
Clopton’s mother, Kristin Clark, says that Clopton’s brother ran
home to get her, and when she got to the pond she began crying. “I saw
just a little
dot
(圆点) and it was his head in the middle of the pond,”
said Clark. A neighbor helped her call 911, and within minutes
firefighters were on the pond. “When he got probably a foot away from
Joe, the ice just
caved in
(坍塌) where Joe was and the guy just jumped
in behind him, and he tied him with the rope and then they pulled him out,”
said Clark.
Clopton’s story will be on the
Discovery Channel
on Friday night at
Clopton says that his near-death experience has taught him a lesson
that everyone can benefit from. “Stay away from ponds,” said Clopton,
“because anything can happen with the dangers of them. You can fall
through anytime; it’s unpredictable.”
51. What Clopton mainly learnt from “Man Vs Wild” is .
A. how to catch fish

四、书面表达
第一节 阅读表达
阅读下面的短文并回答问题(请注意问题后的词数要求)。
Children can spend hours a day looking at computer screens and other
digital devices
(数字化设备). Some eye care professionals say all that
screen time has led to an increase in what they call
computer vision
syndrome
(电脑视力综合症).
Nathan Bonilla-Warford, an expert, says he has seen an increase in
problems in children. “I see a lot more children who are coming into the
office because their parents have noticed that they have headaches or red
or watery eyes.”
Dr. Bonilla-Warford says part of the problem is that children may be
more likely than adults to ignore early warning signs. Even if their eyes
start to feel uncomfortable or they start to get a headache, they’re less
likely to tell their parents, because they don’t want to have the game
or the computer or whatever taken away.
He says another part of the problem is that people
blink
(眨眼) less
often when __________. The average person who uses a computer or an
electronic device blinks about a third as much as we normally do in
everyday life. And so that can result in the front part of the eye drying
and not staying humid like normal.
Eye doctors offer suggestions like following what is known as the
20/20/20 rule. Every twenty minutes, look away twenty feet or more for
at least twenty seconds from whatever device you’re using. It is very
helpful.
Other suggestions include putting more distance between you and the
device and using good lighting. Of course, another way to avoid eye
tiredness is to spend less time looking at screens. Many experts say
children should spend no more than two hours a day using digital devices
— with no screen time for children under two.
56. Why are children unwilling to tell their parents about computer
vision syndrome? (no more than 16 words)
___________________________________________________________
57. Fill in the blank in Paragraph 4 with proper words. (no more than
6 words)

58. What should you do according to the 20/20/20 rule? (no more than
14 words)
___________________________________________________________
59. What do experts say about children under two? (no more than 12
words)

60. Too much screen time may cause computer vision syndrome.
One possible version:
“Sports World” has always been my favorite TV program. I can’t wait
to watch the program at 9:30 every night. It has become a part of my teenage
life.
“Sports World” contains a lot of information — from the
international sports events to the local sports events. Many young people
depend on the program for their sports news. It’s the only program I have
found that has year-round coverage of different latest sports events and
stories. It does give sports fans a chance to have a good understanding
of top sports events within 30 minutes.
In my opinion, “Sports World” is a wonderful TV program. It brings
me to the wide world of sports and enriches my high school life.

For many years, people in American cities have depended on farmers
in rural areas to grow fruits and vegetables. But now a new generation
of farmers is planting crops in urban areas.
Sean Conroe is a college student. Amber Banks is a teacher. They
were
both
engaged in
(忙于„„) farming and gardening. Sean Conroe and Amber
Banks wanted to start a farm in the middle of Seattle, Washington. “There
are a lot of neighborhoods that don’t have access to healthy and fresh
produce. And if they do, it can be very expensive. So we see unused space
as a great place to grow food that will make it more accessible to people.”
Says Amber Banks.
Sean Conroe created a website to get volunteers and donations. Within
a week, they were offered a plot of land between two houses. He says twenty
volunteers worked for six weekends to turn the grassy land into a farm.
They call their project Alleycat Acres. The Alleycats have harvested about
ninety kilograms of produce so far. They have donated most of it to local
food banks that feed hungry people in Seattle.
Bridget Barni is sitting in the dirt picking
lettuce
(生菜). She is
one of eighty people who are volunteering at this urban farm. Like a lot
of the volunteers, she does not have much gardening experience.
One of the goals of the urban farm is to show city people the joy of
growing food. The Alleycats invite school groups to the farm to help out.
And Amber Banks says they want the same people who get food donations to
learn how to work the soil. Sean Conroe says the Alleycats are expanding
to other empty areas of Seattle. So are a lot of other urban farming groups.

49. What do we know about Bridget Barni?
A. She is an expert with a lot of gardening experience.
B. She is one of the founders of the Alleycats.

An American teenager who fell through an icy pond last December says
that a television show about
survival
(幸存) helped save his life, and
now his story is headed to television as well.
Joe Clopton, 13, was on an ice-covered Waldon Pond in Shawnee with
his brother when the ice gave way and he fell into the cold water. “I
held myself up with my
nails
(指甲) dug in,” said Clopton. He says that
a
Discovery Channel
program about surviving in the wild called “Man Vs
Wild” saved his life, as he remembered survival tips for just such a
situation.
Clopton says that he knew from watching the show that he had to take
deep breaths to stay calm. He kept telling himself that it was going to
be okay.
Clopton’s mother, Kristin Clark, says that Clopton’s brother ran
home to get her, and when she got to the pond she began crying. “I saw
just a little
dot
(圆点) and it was his head in the middle of the pond,”
said Clark. A neighbor helped her call 911, and within minutes
firefighters were on the pond. “When he got probably a foot away from
Joe, the ice just
caved in
(坍塌) where Joe was and the guy just jumped
in behind him, and he tied him with the rope and then they pulled him out,”
said Clark.
Clopton’s story will be on the
Discovery Channel
on Friday night at
Clopton says that his near-death experience has taught him a lesson
that everyone can benefit from. “Stay away from ponds,” said Clopton,
“because anything can happen with the dangers of them. You can fall
through anytime; it’s unpredictable.”

四、书面表达
第一节 阅读表达
阅读下面的短文并回答问题(请注意问题后的词数要求)。
Children can spend hours a day looking at computer screens and other
digital devices
(数字化设备). Some eye care professionals say all that
screen time has led to an increase in what they call
computer vision
syndrome
(电脑视力综合症).
Nathan Bonilla-Warford, an expert, says he has seen an increase in
problems in children. “I see a lot more children who are coming into the
office because their parents have noticed that they have headaches or red
or watery eyes.”
Dr. Bonilla-Warford says part of the problem is that children may be
more likely than adults to ignore early warning signs. Even if their eyes
start to feel uncomfortable or they start to get a headache, they’re less
likely to tell their parents, because they don’t want to have the game
or the computer or whatever taken away.
He says another part of the problem is that people
blink
(眨眼) less
often when __________. The average person who uses a computer or an
electronic device blinks about a third as much as we normally do in
everyday life. And so that can result in the front part of the eye drying
and not staying humid like normal.
Eye doctors offer suggestions like following what is known as the
20/20/20 rule. Every twenty minutes, look away twenty feet or more for
at least twenty seconds from whatever device you’re using. It is very
helpful.
Other suggestions include putting more distance between you and the
device and using good lighting. Of course, another way to avoid eye
tiredness is to spend less time looking at screens. Many experts say
children should spend no more than two hours a day using digital devices
— with no screen time for children under two.

One possible version:
“Sports World” has always been my favorite TV program. I can’t wait
to watch the program at 9:30 every night. It has become a part of my teenage
life.
“Sports World” contains a lot of information — from the
international sports events to the local sports events. Many young people
depend on the program for their sports news. It’s the only program I have
found that has year-round coverage of different latest sports events and
stories. It does give sports fans a chance to have a good understanding
of top sports events within 30 minutes.
In my opinion, “Sports World” is a wonderful TV program. It brings
me to the wide world of sports and enriches my high school life.
