11、That cold January night, I was growing sick of my life in San Francisco. There I was, walking home at one in the morning after a tiring practice at the theatre. With opening night only a week ago, I was still learning my lines (台词). I was having 1 dealing with my part-time job at the bank and my acting at night at the same time. As I walked, I thought seriously about 2 up both acting and San Francisco. City life had become too much for me.
As I walked down 3 streets under tall buildings, I felt very small and cold. I began running, both to keep warm and to keep away from any possible robbers. Very few people were still out except a few sad-looking homeless people under blankets.
About a block from my flat, I heard a sound behind me. I 4 quickly, half expecting to see someone with a knife or a gun. The street was empty. All I saw was a shining streetlight. Still, the noise had made me 5 , so I started to run faster. Not until I reached my flat building and unlocked the door did I realize what the noise had been. It had been my 6 falling to the sidewalk. Suddenly I wasn't cold or tired any more. I ran out of the door and back to 7 I'd heard the noise. Although I 8 the sidewalk anxiously(忧虑的) for fifteen minutes, my wallet was 9 to be found.
Just as I was about to give up the search, I heard the garbage truck (垃圾车) pull up to the sidewalk next to me. When a voice called from the 10 , “ Alisa Camacho?” I thought I was dreaming. How could this man know my 11 ? The door opened, and out jumped a small red-haired man with an amused look in his eye. “Is this what you're looking for?” he asked, 12 up a small square shape.
It was nearly 3 a.m. by the time I got into bed. I wouldn't get much 13 that night, but I had got my wallet back. I also had got back some 14 of city life. I realized that the city couldn't be a bad place as long as people were 15 to help each other.
1．A．fun B．trouble C．interest D．boredom
2．A．giving B．keeping C．going D．clearing
3．A．narrow B．dirty C．empty D．dark
4．A．ran B．turned C．walked D．looked
5．A．sad B．happy C．cold D．nervous
6．A．wallet B．watch C．hat D．key
7．A．when B．where C．what D．which

14、DISNEY’s theme park, its first on the Chinese mainland, Shanghai Disneyland, has already been completed, and will open its doors on June 16, 2016. “Six is a lucky number to Chinese people,” the Walt Disney Company said.
Shanghai Disneyland will host an opening celebration to welcome its first guests. At the opening, it will hold more Chinese-style activities instead of Western-style ones, because the host wants to show China’s local traditional culture. “We have prepared a three-day celebration and are hiring more than 8,000 actors,” Philippe Gas, Shanghai Disneyland’s general manager, told Shanghai Television yesterday.
So why has Disneyland been so popular? Well, it’s described as “the Happiest Place on Earth” and “a place for the young and young at heart”. Disney’s storytelling in rides like roller coasters is a big reason for their parks’ success. “We tell a story in everything we do,” Pressler said.
However, Disney’s parks haven’t always been popular everywhere. When Disneyland Paris opened in 1992, some French people felt that American culture was invading(入侵) France. But still, the park stayed open and today it is a popular place for European visitors.
1．Why did the company decide to open on the date of “June 16, 2016”?
A．Because that day is quite close to the summer holiday.
B．Because the opening celebration won’t be ready until that day.
C．Because the number SIX is considered to be “lucky” in China.
D．Because Shanghai Disneyland won’t be completed until that day.
2．Shanghai Disneyland will _______ at the opening.
A．tell stories to the guests
B．mainly show Western culture
C．have more activities of Chinese-style
D．invite guests to have a roller-coaster ride
3．What can we infer(推断) from the last paragraph?
A．At first, Disneyland Paris was a great success.
B．American culture is quite similar to French culture.
C．Disney’s parks have always been popular around the world.
D．Disneyland Paris attracts many visitors from Europe at present.

16、 Alex Winter is a rock climber. He spoke to Craig Jackson from Out and About magazine.
Imagine hanging on a rock face, with nothing between you and the ground hundreds of metres below. For Alex Winter this is just another normal day. I called him at his home in Fresno, California.
Craig: When did you first become interested in rock climbing?
Alex: Well, Fresno’s not far from Yosemite National Park in California. That’s one of the best places for climbing in the world. Both my parents love rock climbing and I started learning the basics at a very early age.
Craig: What advice would you give people who want to start rock climbing?
Alex: The best way to learn how to climb is to do it. You can’t learn climbing just from books. Practice on easy low climbs first, until you know the right moves. You need a good teacher. For me, that was my parents. And always use good quality equipment（装备）. Your life depends on it. Probably the most important piece of equipment is the ropes. You really don’t want them to break!
Craig: Have you ever had any accident?
Alex: I’ve had a few falls, but the ropes have saved my life every time. If you lose your hold, the ropes are connected to the rock and they take your weight.
Craig: For you, what’s the best thing about rock climbing?
Alex: When I’m climbing I forget everything else in the world. The only thing that matters is my next move up the rock face.
1．What is the main purpose of the passage?
A．To tell the story of Alex Winter’s life.
B．To describe rock climbing.
C．To explain how rock climbing is becoming more and more popular in US.
D．To have an interview with a rock climber.
2．Alex says the best way to learn how to rock climb is to .
A．read books about it
B．practice doing it
C．take a long course
D．do it without equipment
3．Alex said that the most important equipment was the ropes because .
A．ropes can help a climber learn how to rock climb
B．there is nothing between a climber and the ground hundreds of metres below
C．he has had falls, but the ropes has saved his life every time
D．ropes can help a climber forget everything else
