Part I Reading Comprehension (60 marks, 60 minutes)

Section A
Format Ⅰ（共 20 小题，每题 2 分，共 40 分）
Directions: There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by five questions. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C, and D. You should decide on the best choice and blacken the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet.
Passage one
Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:
A U.N. report says water is in demand around the world as temperatures on Earth's surface rise and demand grows along with populations. The report was released this week at the World Water Forum in Brasilia. The conference has been described as the world's largest water-related event.
Federal District Governor Rodrigo Rollemberg spoke at a panel discussion on Tuesday at the forum. He described water shortages as a worldwide problem. The public water supply has less water because of low rainfall as well as fast and disorderly growth in Brasilia, which is part of the Federal District, Rollemberg said. In January , after three years of little rain, district officials began limiting how much water people could use. The governments of the Federal District and the nearby state of Goias also gave $166 million to develop water infrastructure.
Demand around the world is expected to increase by nearly one-third by 2050. By then, 5 billion people could be left with poor access to water, the U. N. warned in its World Water Development Report. To avoid such a crisis, U. N. officials called for "nature-based solutions" that use or copy natural processes that should be used to increase water availability. They said solutions could include changing farming methods so fields keep more moisture and nutrients, collecting rainwater, and protecting wetlands. The officials also proposed reestablishing floodplains and said that plants could be grown on housetops. Such proposals will become more important as water industries grow.

1. Who talked about water shortages in Brasilia at a panel discussion?
A. Journalist B. A U.N. official
C. A Federal District official D. An official from the state of Goias
2. What is among the reasons for less public water supply in Brasilia?
A. Waste of rainwater B. Insufficient rainfall
C. Growing plants on the roofs D. Development in infrastructure
3. What did the Federal District government do to deal with water shortage?
A. They controlled population B. They limited water consumption
C. They invested in artificial rainmaking D. They suggested “nature-based solutions”
4. What is Not a “nature-based solution”?
A. Gathering rainwater
B. Preserving wetlands
C. Sustaining water in soil
D. Building house on floodplains
5. What’s the main idea of this passage?
A. Brasilia is facing the problem of water shortages
B. The world has found a solution of water shortages
C. The world is facing the problem of water shortages
D. A report was released at the world water Forum in Brasilia

Passage Two
Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:
The Queen has only given one interview while a sovereign. Her true personality remains elusive to the public. However, one thing is clear: Queen Elizabeth is an introvert. Introverts prefer quiet environments and feel energized from spending time alone or with people they know well. They aren’t necessarily shy, but they do tend to be more reserved and guarded with strangers. Fellow introverts will appreciate how draining an average day for Her Majesty must be.
Fortunately, the Queen has some tricks to make public engagements easier. Just like us commoners rely on friends to save us from awkward situations or boring conversations, she subtly signals to her staff when she wants an intervention. If she places her handbag on the table, it indicates that she wants the event to end in the next five minutes. For more urgent situations, putting her bag on the floor shows that she wants her lady-in-waiting to rescue her immediately.
Most comfortable in the countryside, the Queen has a well-known passion for horses and dogs. There is a scene in the hit Netflix show The Crown which reveals a fascinating side of the monarch. While giving Jackie Kennedy a personal tour of Buckingham Palace, the two women find themselves bonding over their respective positions as introverted women who have found themselves in the limelight. Surrounded by the Queen’s beloved dogs, both women admit they are happiest around animals and that their extroverted sisters would have been much better suited to their public roles.

6. The underlined word “draining” (Paragraph 1) is the closest in meaning to ______.
A. frustrating B. exhausting C. demanding D. aspiring
7. To be rescued immediately in a public engagement, the Queen would ______.
A. end the event within five minutes B. place her handbag on the table
C. wave to her lady-in-waiting D. put her bag on the floor
8. In the last paragraph, the underlined expression “the two women find themselves bonding over their respective positions” means that the two ladies ______.
A. admire each other B. help each other in public
C. grow closer to each other D. show respect for each other
9. Queen Elizabeth and Jackie Kennedy share the following traits or facts EXCEPT that ______ .
A. both have sisters B. both love animals
C. both enjoy being in public D. both are introverted woman
10. The author’s attitude can be described as ______.
A. neutral B. critical C. pessimistic D.subjective

Passage Three
Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:
Back when Disney products were to be watched, not experienced. Walt Disney had a vision: a theme park that felt like stepping into a magical new place. Now, we can finally witness Walt’s first dream. Before construction could start, Walt needed funding. He and his friend Herb Ryman put their heads together and mapped our their dream for the Disneyland. In just one frenzied 1953 weekends, their idea came to life on paper -- and you’ll notice both subtle differences from and remarkable similarities to the modern Anaheim, California, park.
Like today, visitors would have entered the park in to a Main Street USA-type area. The tunnels aren’t as wide as they were imagined more than 60 years ago, but park-goers are still greeted with a train passing overhead as they make their way toward the magic. (Even with a modern Disney map, it’s tough to find there secret Disney park spots you never knew existed.) Walt always hoped for a castle as a focal point of the park, but its real-life copy changed from his initial dream. The first palace was a sprawling fortress, hiding a massive carousel（旋转木马）beyond its walls. Now, Sleeping Beauty Castle has more intricate spires, and King Arthur Carrousel takes its spins in Fantasyland, behind the palace.
Walt’s vision for the Mark Twain steamboat circling around Tom Sawyer Island and its Pirate’s Lair（巢穴）hasn’t changed much, though at that point it was called Frontier Country instead of Frontierland. That wasn’t the only name change, though. World of Tomorrow turned into Tomorrowland -- and eventually lost its rocket. Astronauts walked on the moon 14 years after the park was built, making the Rocket to the Moon seem out-of-date. Meanwhile, True-Life Adventured lost its first word, while most of the areas took on totally different themes.

11. What was Walt Disney’s first dream?
A. To build a theme park B. To draw a map on paper
C. To travel in a magic place D. To design a series of products
12. Before construction started, Walt Disney did the following EXCEPT_____
A. getting funding B. planning the park
C. drawing the park on paper D. daydreaming with a friend
13. Which of the following park spots has not changed much since Walt’s vision came to life on paper?
A. A Main Street area B. World of Tomorrow
C. Sleeping Beauty Castle D. True-life Adventureland
14. How many name changes have been mentioned in this passage?
A. One B. Two C. Three D. Four
15. What is the theme of this passage?
A. A tour in Disneyland B. Walt Disney’s life story
C. The future of Disneyland D. Walt Disney’s first dream

Passage four
Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage:
You’ve made it. You managed to navigate your way through the airport; you breezed through security; and you successfully boarded the plane. Now you’re comfortable in your seat in the cabin, and there’s even a little bit of elbow room, as the flight isn’t fully booked for once. With the hassle behind you, you settle in with your neck pillow, pop some Kenny G on your iPod, and get ready to spend quality time sleeping on a plane. And you’re about to make a huge mistake that will put your health at risk, as reported by Travel + Leisure.
It’s not because of Kenny G. It’s the shuteye part. According to Medline Plus, falling asleep during or takeoff could cause serious damage to your ears. It all has to do with the rapid changes in air pressure in the cabin. If you’re awake, a natural response to alleviate pressure on your eardrums during takeoff and landing is to “pop” them, to maintain pressure equilibrium. If you’re sleeping on a plane, you can’t actively work to relax those muscles and release the tension, so you can become susceptible to dizziness, ear infection, eardrum damage, hearing loss and nose bleeds. “A quick change in altitude affects the air pressure in the ear,” says Angel Chalmers, a British pharmacist, via Express. “This leads to a vacuum in the Eustachian tubes（咽鼓管）which makes the ears feel blocked and sound dull.”
Keep those Eustachian tubes clear and keep those eyes open for at least another few minutes. Open that book you just bought in the terminal. After all, there are some major advantages to buying your reading material at the airport.
16. The underlined sentence “You’ve made it” (Paragraph 1) means that you have managed_____?
A. to board the plane
B. to get a bit of elbow room
C. to get ready to sleep after boarding
D. to make yourself comfortable after boarding
17. What would damage your health when the plane takes off or lands?
A. Using a neck pillow B. Shutting your eyes
C. Listening to music D. Falling asleep
18. The underlined word “alleviate” (paragraph 2) is the closest meaning to_____?
A. increase B. reduce
C. maintain D. escape
19. Having a vacuum in the Eustachian tubes during takeoff and landing could cause unpleasant symptoms to the following body parts EXCEPT_____
A. the throat B. the nose
C. the ears D. the head
20. The author suggests that you read a book _____ during the plane taking off and landing.
A. to amuse yourself B. to stay awake
C. to keep your ears clear D. to make yourself comfortable

FormatⅡ（共5小题，每题2分，共10分）
Directions: In the following passage, some sentences have been removed. For questions 21—25, choose the most suitable one from the list A—G to fit into each of the numbered blanks. There are two extra choices, which do not fit into any of the gaps. Mark your answers on Answer Sheet.

Whether it is a hotel stay,shopping or dining out, a vacation to Paris can be a pricey proposition. But there are plenty of ways to stretch your dollar in the City of Lights and have a high-end getaway.
Barkley Hickcox，a Paris specialist and an owner of Local Foreigner，a travel consultancy,has a few tips to help travelers make the most of their Parisian getaway.
21. _____
The ideal time to visit Paris is between November and April, when hotel prices are at their lowest. Some high-end properties offer even further discounts if you book a stay several months in advance.
22. _____
Families traveling to Paris should consider staying in a high-end apartment instead of a hotel.
Ms.Hickcox said. “An apartment is less expensive than booking multiple rooms at a five-star hotel, and since you have a kitchen, you can save money on food costs by eating in occasionally,” she said.
23. _____
Paris is known for fine cuisine, but rather than dining at one of the city’s renowned restaurants at dinnertime, go for lunch, when the tab will be much lower and the cuisine just as good. “You’ll find lots of great eateries where you can have dinner with wine for 35 to 50 euros a person.” She said
24. _____
Mr. Hickcox’s favorite way to explore Paris is on foot. “You can fully appreciate the city’s beauty by walking , and it’s designed for walkers because there are walking paths and sidewalks everywhere. ’’ she said.
For longer distances, she suggested using the city’s bike share system, Velib. A weeklong pass costs 15 euros, and there are stations everywhere. There is another choice if you are not so much fond of biking. 25. _____, Paris’ subway system. It’s convenient, and you can buy daily and weekly passes.
A. Dine out
B. Eat smart
C. Try the Metro
D. Stay in a hotel
E. Ditch taxis and cars
