Ⅰ.閱讀理解

Last summer I was lucky enough to participate in a volunteer adventure to Kenya，in association with Virgin Atlantic’s Be the Change programme and children’s charity，Free the Children.The moment I read the e-mail saying that I had been accepted into Free the Children’s Virgin Atlantic scholarship trip to Kenya，I had no idea how much it was going to change my life.I thought the trip would be a great way to learn about life in one of the most rural areas of Kenya，but I never thought about how deeply I might be affected by this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
When we entered the Masai Mara，the first thing that struck me was how unbelievably beautiful it was.As I looked closer to it，I realized there was something even more beautiful：the people.I have never been to a place where the saying “the people are what make the place” was more true.
The way they wave at you excitedly as you drive past，shouting “Jambo，Jambo！” is something that I have never experienced.They are always smiling and welcoming and it made me realize that，if everyone were to act like this，the world would be a much happier place.
The most amazing thing about the trip was that we weren’t treated like tourists for one second.We were able to experience every little detail.We built foundations，carried ten litres of water...
The one thing I will never forget is visiting Emorijoi Primary School.Let me describe it like this：As soon as you entered into the gate，you would hear someone shouting your name.Then you looked around and realized that it was the same little girl that you were playing football with the last time you visited.
There are literally no words to explain how much I miss Kenya.It feels like there is a piece of string attaching me to everyone that I met there.They will stay with me forever and always be in my heart.
1．When the author was informed she was in the volunteer adventure，
.
A．she pretended to be excited
B．she didn’t think much of it
C．she became proud of herself
D．she hoped to learn more about Kenya
答案 B
解析 細節理解題。由文章第一段中的“...I had no idea how much it was going to change my life.”可知“我”沒有想太多，故答案選B。
2．What made the Masai Mara much more beautiful?
A．The primary school.
B．The scenery.
C．The lovely children.
D．The local people.
答案 D
解析 細節理解題。由文章第二段第二句“As I looked closer to it，I realized there was something even more beautiful：the people.”可知答案選D。
3．According to the passage，“Jambo” is actually a way for the local people to
.
A．greet the visitors
B．praise the beautiful visitors
C．say thanks to the visitors
D．express their happiness
答案 A
解析 細節理解題。由文章第三段第一句“The way they wave at you excitedly as you drive past，shouting ‘Jambo，Jambo！’ is something that I have never experienced.”可知，他們是在問好，故答案選A。
4．Which word can best describe the author’s feeling of the adventure?
A．Calm.
B．Upset.
C．Unexpected.
D．Threatened.
答案 C
解析 推理判斷題。由文章第一段最后一句“...，but I never thought about how deeply I might be affected by this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.”推知，作者對這次旅行中的所經歷的事絕沒預料到，故答案選C。

China is a land of bicycles.At least it was back in 1992 when I traveled the country.Back then everyone seemed to be riding a bicycle.Millions of them，all black.Cars were rare.Yet since my arrival in Beijing last year，I’ve found the opposite is true.There are millions of cars.However，people still use their bicycles to get around.For many，it’s the easiest and cheapest way to travel today.Bicycles also come in different colors—silver，green，red，blue，yellow，whatever you want.
It’s fun people biking.They rush quickly through crossroads，move skillfully through traffic，and ride even on sidewalks.Bicycles allow people the freedom to move about that cars just can’t provide.
Eager to be part of this aspect of Chinese culture，I decided to buy a bicycle.Great weather accompanied my great buy.I immediately jumped up on my bicycle seat and started home.
My first ride home was orderly.To be safe，I stayed with a“pack”of bikers while cars on the streets came running swiftly out of nowhere at times.I didn’t want to get hit.So I took the ride carefully.
Crossing the streets was the biggest problem.It was a lot like crossing a major highway back in the United States.The streets here were wide，so crossing took time，skill and a little bit of luck.
I finally made it home.The feeling on the bicycle was amazing.The air hitting my face and going through my hair was wonderful.I was sitting on top of the world as I passed by places and people.Biking made me feel alive.
5．According to the author，why are bicycles still popular in China today?
A．Because they are traditional and safe.
B．Because they are convenient and inexpensive.
C．Because they are colorful and available.
D．Because they are fast and environmentally friendly.
答案 B
解析 細節理解題。根據第一段中的“For many，it’s the easiest and cheapest way to travel today.”可知，自行車如今仍然很受歡迎，是因為它的便捷和經濟。根據倒數第二段和倒數第三段的敘述可知，騎自行車并不安全，速度也不是很快，故A項和D項錯誤；文章雖然提到了自行車的顏色多種多樣，但這并不是它受歡迎的原因，故C項錯誤。
6．How did the author feel about his street crossing?
A．It was boring.
B．It was difficult.
C．It was lively.
D．It was wonderful.
答案 B
解析 細節理解題。根據倒數第二段的敘述可知，騎車過街是最大的問題，需要時間、技巧和運氣，因此作者認為騎車過街非常困難。其余選項均與本段內容不符。
7．Which of the following best describes the author’s biking experience?
A．The author enjoyed showing off his biking skills.
B．The author was annoyed by the air while riding.
C．The author was praised by the other bikers.
D．The author took great pleasure in biking.
答案 D
解析 推理判斷題。由最后一段可知，空氣吹拂臉頰和頭發的感覺很美妙，騎行時就像坐在了世界的頂端，騎自行車使作者覺得充滿了活力。由此可判斷出，作者覺得騎自行車很有樂趣，故D項正確。
Ⅱ.語法填空(建議用時10′)
Scientists have discovered that 8.staying(stay) in the cold could help us lose weight.Researchers at the University of California found that exposure to the cold increases levels of a protein that helps form brown fat—the type of fat that produces heat and keeps us warm.Brown fat burns energy,9.which helps us lose weight.White fat stores extra energy，which results 10.in weight gain.The researchers said that because air conditioning and heating give us constant,11.comfortable(comfort) temperatures，our body’s need for brown fat has decreased.They found that：“Outdoor workers in northern Finland who 12.are exposed(expose) to cold temperature have 13.a significant amount of brown fat when 14.compared(compare) to same-aged indoor workers.”
The research was conducted on two different control groups of mice.15.One group was injected with the protein that helps create brown fat.This group later gained 30% less weight after both groups were fed high-fat diets.The researchers say this could be good news in the fight against obesity.People who are obese have 16.lower(low) levels of brown fat than thinner people.Head researcher Hei Sook Sul said，“This protein could become an important target for research into the treatment and prevention of obesity and obesity-related diseases.”She added：“If you can somehow increase levels of this protein，you could 17.possibly(possible) lose more weight even if eating the same amount of food.”

Dear Mr.Jackson，
I’m really sorry about my using the mobile phone in your lecture last week.Please accept my heart-felt apology for being so rude a student.
I know any word might sound a made-up excuse.But I didn’t use the mobile phone for no reason.Last week I was trying to apply to some companies for my aunt，aged 48 and out of work，and that day，I got an offer and they needed her further information immediately.Therefore，I had no other choice but to try sending them a text message in class and that was exactly what I was doing when you discovered.I promise it will never happen again.But I do need my phone back to get in touch with others.Will you be kind enough to give it back to me?
Hope you can accept my apologies and understand my situation.
Best wishes!
