Passage One
What do you use to get around town? A car? Your feet? Perhaps youshould try a Segway!
The Segway is perfect for short journey. It’s an electricvehicle that consists of a platform between two wheels，with a pole that connects the platform to the handlebars. To rideit，you step up onto the platform，and controlthe Segway by moving your body. Lean forwards to go faster, and backwards to slowdown.
On older models. direction is controlled by a twist grip(扭转把手)on the left handlebar. This varies the speeds between the two motors，a decrease in the speed of the left wheel would turn the Segway tothe left. With newer models you simply lean to the left or fight. Meanwhile，a gyroscope (陀螺仪)detects your movements andprevents the machine from falling over. The Segway has a maximum speed of l 9 km per hour and a range of about 38 km. Afterthat，you need to plug it in and recharge the battery. ’Segwaysare used for a variety of purposes. People with mobility problems can now enjoy walksin the country with theft friends and family. Some golfers usethem as an alternative to the golf cart. And dog owners nowhave an easier way to take the dog to the park. A few police forces useSegways，t00. They allow officers to move quickly whilst maintaining contact withthe public. They’re also becoming a common sight on airport. However ,themost popular use is in tourism，particularly for city tours. Visit anymajor city in summer ,sit outside a cafe for a while and there’s a good chanceyou’ll see a group of tourists passing on Segways.

37. How do you turn to the left on Segway of newermodels?
A. Lean to the left.
B. Adjust the twist grip.
C. Press the left bar.
D. Control the gyroscope.
【答案】A查看答案

Passage Three
Most of the guests who come on our trips have never been to Egyptbefore. We want to make everyone comfortable and at ease, but we doalways get the same questions in advance of a trip. So here I will giveyou some travel tips.
What should l wear?
If you’re lucky enough to visit Egypt between November and February,pack a sweater. You’ll need it— the desert gets chilly at night. During the day, thetemperature will be agreeable and comfortable. Any other time, pack asif you’re going to Phoenix or Vegas in August. For the ladies, bathingsuits are normal if there’s a pool where you’re going, but leave the stringbikini at home— t is aMuslim country, after all. Last, if you are planning on visiting any mosques orcertain pans of upper Egypt, ladies will need to plan on bringing somethingthat comes at least to the elbow, and no shorts for men or women in those areas.
What special things do I need to pack?
One of my favorite things in the world to bring to Egypt is an EvianMister ,a sprayer with a fine mist of Evian water. You may be able tofind it in your local drug store. Spray a little on your face or head, and yourbody temperature will feel like it’s dropped 10 or 15 degrees. Otheritems include your camera, sun block and extra batteries.
How do I communicate with home?
Internet cafes are plentiful everywhere, especially in Cairo, Luxor, andAlexandria. If you have international calling on your phone, youshould be able to use it—AT＆T and Sprint both work internationally for sure，but make sure you have the international coverage. Asatellite phone is best if you are certain to need coverage in the middle ofthe country, like while sailing up the Nile, but for most peoplethese days a cell phone is fine.
What medical preparation do I need?
In a word: none! The one thing you may come down with in Egypt is politelycalle “Pharaoh’s Revenge”. The thing that knocks out Pharoah’s Revenge is aregionally produced medicine, and is available at every drugstore for $l a box. DON’Tdrink local water, DO drink bottled water ,avoid the skins of flesh vegetables, and you’llbe fine.
44. What clothing is proper for ladies visiting amosque?
A. String bikinis
B. Long—sleeve clothes
C. Bathing suits
D. Shorts
【答案】B查看答案
【解析】文章第二段最后一句讲到：如果你要去任何清真寺（mosque），女士最低要带及肘部的衣服，在那些地方男女穿短袖是不允许的。所以只有Long-sleeve clothes（长袖衣）合适。
45.What’s the use of an Evian Mister?
A. To relieve your thirst.
B. To prevent sunburns.
C. To cool yourself down.
D. To drive away insects.
【答案】C查看答案
【解析】根据文章第三段倒数第二句：喷一点Evian water在脸部或头部会感觉温度就像下降了十几度。由此可知这种水主要作用是降温。
46. What information is provided about distancecommunication?
A. A cell phone is enough for most people.
B. AT&T and Sprint offer free service in Egypt.
C. A satellite phone doesn’t work in Mid—Egypt.
D. Internet cafes are only available in big cities.
【答案】A查看答案
【解析】根据文章第四段介绍了远程通信的方法。首先，Internet cafes到处有。AT&T and Sprint在埃及都有用，但没有免费提供的。如果你要去尼罗河等中部国家，卫星电话最好，最后一句，对于大多数人来说，手机已经足够。
47. What does “Pharaoh’s Revenge’’ probably refer toin the last paragraph?
A. A curse
B. A legend
C. A disease
D. A vegetable
【答案】C查看答案
【解析】文章第五段主要讲到到埃及旅游是否需要带药。前半部分讲到，能够knock out（打败）Pharaoh’s Revenge的东西是一种药。与药相对的就是疾病（disease）了。
Passage Four
It was a beautiful day for sightseeing around downtown Portland D. Wewere on our day off and out for some fun. The weather wasperfect for a picnic, so when lunch time came, we set our sights on a small park in town. Since weall had different tastes, we decided to split up, get what each of uswanted, and meet back on the grass in a few minutes.
When my friends Robby headed for a hot dog stand, I decidedto keep her company. We watched the seller put together the perfect hotdog just theway Robby wanted it. But when she took out her money to pay him, the man surprised us.
“It looks a bit smaller on the cool side，”he said，“so never mind paying me. This willbe my freebie of the day. ”
We said our thanks，joined our friends in the park，and dug into our food But as we talked and ate，I noticed a man sitting alone nearby, looking at us. I couldtell that he hadn’t showered for days. Another homeless person，I thought，like all the others you see incities. I didn’t pay much more attention than that.
We finished eating and decided to head off for more sightseeing. But whenRobby and l went to the garbage can to throw away my lunch bag, I hear astrong voice, ‘‘There isn’t any food in that bag, is there?”
It was the man who had been watching us. I didn’t know whatto say. “N0, I ate it already.’’ “Oh,” was his only answer with no shame in his voiceat all. He was obviously hungry, couldn’t bear to see anything thrown away, andwas used to asking this question.
I felt bad for the man, but I didn’t know what I could do. That’swhen Robby said “ I’ll be right back. Please wait for me a minute, ’’and ranoff. 1 watched curiously as she went across to the hot dog stand Then Irealized what she was doing. She bought a hotdog, crossed back to the garbagecan, and gave the hungry man the food.
When she came back to us, Robby said simply, “I was just passing on thekindness that someone gave to me. ’’
48.Why did the seller offer Robby a free hot dog?
A. It was offered for a large order.
B. The hot dog didn’t look big enough.
C. It was a special favor to a lady customer.
D. The seller gave away a free hot dog every day.
【答案】B查看答案
【解析】根据第三段摊主的话，“Itlooks a bit smaller on the cool side，”，这根热狗凉的—侧看起来小了点，所以才给Robby免费（freebie）的。也就是说这根热狗看起来不够大。
49.Which word best describes the homeless man?
A. Angry
B. Untidy
C. Sensitive
D. Impolite
【答案】B查看答案
【解析】题干问的是，哪一个词能够形容流浪汉。根据第四段第二句，“I could tell that he hadn’t showered for days. ”，可知这个流浪汉好几天没洗澡，所以，应该是不整洁（untidy）。
50.Why did Robby go back to the hot dog seller?
A. She wanted to thank the hot dog seller.
B. The homeless man asked her for a hot d09.
C. She wanted to buy a hot dog for the homeless man.
D. The hot dog was so delicious that Robby wanted another.
【答案】C查看答案
【解析】题干问的是：为什么萝比又回到热狗摊。根据倒数第一、二段，Robby go back to the hot dog seller后，拿回来了热狗，回到垃圾桶旁，给了这个流浪者。显然，这个事情作者后面才意识过来。所以，她不是去感谢卖热狗的人，也不是流浪者请求的，也不是因为热狗好吃然后又要了一根。Robby是主动为流浪汉买热狗。
51.What is the theme of this passage?

Passage Five
Whatever you do, don’t challenge a chimpanzee named Ayumu to anumber memory game. In 2007，Ayumu became famous for hislightning speed at a game that goes like this：A player viewsa computer screen where the numbers l through 9 appear briefly at once and thentum to white squares. The player then taps the squares where the numbers had been，in order from l tog.
People can do it. But no human competitor has ever completed thegame faster or more accurately than Ayumu the chimp. For almost fiveyears Ayumu remains undefeated Psychologist Nicholas Humphrey of Darwin Collegeat Cambridge University in England now thinks he knows the secret behind thechimp’s ability. Humphrey suspects Ayumu’s brain may have a condition that allows thechimp to see numbers as colors. This would mean that Ayumu may see a color glowafter the number disappears. Then，instead ofremembering the numbers，he remembers a sequence of colors，each associated with a number The condition that Humphrey believesAyumu may have is called synesthesia. Humans with synesthesia may associatenumbers and letters with colors. For example，a person maysee the number “5” as the colorblue. Until now, scientists had assumed only humans could have synesthesia.
Humphrey found the inspiration for his idea at a 2011 scientificconference. There，he heard a presentation about Ayumu’s memory abilities and anothertalk about synesthesia. He then put the two ideas together.
Not everyone is convinced that Humphrey is correct. PrimatologistTetsuro Matsuzawa of the Primate Research Institute at Kyoto University inJapan has spent decades studying the amazing memories of chimpanzees, includingAyumu. He maintains that chimps simply have faster memory recall thanpeople.
52.What is Ayumu famous for?
A. His gift in playing computers.
B. His talent in calculating numbers.
C. His skill in tapping the numbered squares.
D. His amazing performance in a memory game.
【答案】D查看答案
【解析】文章第二段第一句讲明，Ayumu是因为在一个游戏中闪电般的速度而出名。这个游戏是电脑屏幕中闪现1至9的数字，然后选手按正确的顺序在之后的方格中点击。由此可知，这个游戏主要考验的是记忆。
53. Which of the following is true of NicholasHumphrey?
A. He thinks Ayumu has an amazing memory.
B. He believes that Ayumu sees the colors of numbers.
C. He was inspired by Primatologist Tetsuro Matsuzawa.
D. He delivered a speech on a synesthesia at the 2011 conference.
【答案】B查看答案
【解析】文章第三段讲到，Nicholas Humphrey是心理学家，他假设黑猩猩能把数字看做颜色，来解释Ayumu的这种能力的秘密。相信Ayumu由超凡记忆的是Tetsuro Matsuzawa。Humphrey没有作关于synesthesia的演讲，而是受它启发。
54. Where does Humphrey get the inspiration for hisidea?
A. From an experiment.
B. From a conference.
C. From a research on chimpanzees.
D. From the color blue.
【答案】B查看答案
【解析】根据第五段第一句，“Humphrey found the inspiration for his idea at a 2011 scientificconference。”可知，Humphrey认为猩猩看数字实为看色彩的灵感来源于2011年的一次国际科学会议。
55. How does Tetsuro Matsuzawa explain Ayumu’sperformance in the game?
A. Ayumu uses synesthesia.
B. Ayumu is cleverer than most people.
C. Chimps recall things faster than people.
D. Chimps are good at dealing with number.
【答案】C查看答案
【解析】文章最后一段讲到，不是每个人都认为Humphrey是正确的，并以Tetsuro Matsuzawa为例。最后一句讲到Matsuzawa认为黑猩猩仅仅是比人有更快的记忆。
