B

When you’re sitting in class or behind your desk waiting for the clock to strike a time when you can go home, it is natural that the mind can wander (漫游) a bit. It is common for your mind to wander to a vacation and even travel the world. What if there is a way that you can travel the world without having to pay any money?

A person that managed to make it around the world without spending much was Shantanu Starick. How did he trade off his service？Starick realized that as a photographer he had a service that people would usually be willing to pay money for, but he would instead offer his photography service to anyone who could provide him with food, shelter and transportation. Starick has been traveling for a surprising 30 months and has visited countries ranging from the United States to Ecuador.

In English-speaking countries, trading off service and communicating aren’t difficult for Starick. However, in more far areas where there isn’t an English-speaking person in sight it can be quite difficult. More than anything locals appreciate (欣赏) the effort behind trying to speak their language, even if you don’t exactly sound like a native speaker.

You can do it too!

Honestly, with a bit of confidence, drive and a skill you can trade, you’ll be able to do exactly the same as Starick.

Start thinking about what you can do to get around the world without paying money. With our social networks and the connectivity our world has, you can easily connect with and market yourself to people across the world without any effort.

5．What is the author’s purpose in writing the first paragraph?

A. To introduce the topic.  B.To describe students in class.

C. To give an example for the text.  D.To show people's state of mind.

6．What does the underlined part “trade off” in paragraph 2 refer to?

A. Join. B. Exchange.

C. Stop. D. Improve.

7．In locals’ opinion, which of the following is the key for the traveler?

A. The skill to trade off.

B. The confidence to succeed.

C. The determination to travel.

D. The effort to speak the local language.

8．What do we know about Shantanu Starick?

A. He is a professional traveler.

B. He is too poor to afford the travels.

C. He has a skill to travel without paying money.

D. He doesn't say other languages except English.

二、七选五（每小题2分，共10分）

As Labor Day gets close, many Americans are trying to find some final vacation time before kids head back to school.   9   With people still looking for that escape, it’s important to know some tips to make your dollars go the extra mile when traveling. Choose places that are in their off-season during kids’ school breaks. Over the Christmas/New Year’s break, for example, the prices for flights and hotels in the Caribbean and Hawaii are sky-high.   10   You can go to places that are in their low season but are warm and festive(欢乐的).

For US trips, think about extended-stay hotels(常住酒店). Extended-stay hotels give you affordable suites(套房) with a lot of free facilities for the money. You get a door to the kids’ room that you can close at bedtime.    11   A refrigerator, microwave and washing machines, as well as free breakfast, Wi-Fi and sometimes even dinner and snacks are available, too.

For European city trips, rent an apartment. Hotel rooms in European cities can be expensive and tiny. They have no refrigerator or microwave, and neighbors can hear every sound.    12   It also gives you more space and thicker(更厚的) walls. The kitchen can help you save some money in hotel breakfast charges, and the washing machine can help you save the time for washing.

13   Hunting for specific items — maybe they’re seashells from each beach you stop at, maps from tourist information offices or door handle do-not-disturb-signs from hotels — gives kids a task and keeps them busy in a trip. Collecting souvenirs on a certain theme is a lot cheaper than buying them.

A．Look for things with your kids.

B．An apartment usually costs less.

C．So you can consider other places.

D．Collect things instead of buying things.

E. You also have more space to move around.

F. You can also choose extended-stay hotels if you like.

G. However, a getaway any time of the year can be pricey.

第二节 读后续写（共20分）

阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。

My family and I go to the Big Island of Hawaii in the United States every year. Each year, we do the same things —spend time at the beaches, surfing and fishing. On this trip, however, my family got tired of this holiday style and wanted to do something different. We learned from a local that there was a hot spring on the island called the Boiling Pots. Without doing any research, we decided to set off on an adventure to that spot.

We drove to the destination, but were surprised to find that the area was closed off by a fence (栅栏). Reading the sign placed in front of the gate, we found out it was, in fact, a forbidden area that lay at the bottom of the mountain. And we were on the mountaintop. Seemingly out of nowhere, a strange man came up to us. He told us he would go to the Boiling Pots and that he would show us the way down there if we would just jump over the fence and follow him. After some discussion, my family, 8 members, followed the man past the fence.

The ''path'' was a slope (斜坡) covered in mud and high grass. Several times, our members fell but nobody gave up and turned back because it seemed an amazing adventure.

After about one hour's walk, we arrived at the bottom finally, but a large river stopped us. The strange man went to borrow a boat from his friend living nearby. We stood on the bank, waiting for him and joking that we could swim across the river.

Just then, I heard the voice of my father screaming at us to move. I looked up to the sky and saw a large tree falling towards us. I ran forward, pushing the people in front of me. I fell to the ground, hearing a loud sound of the tree hitting the ground, along with pieces of branches surrounding us.

第二节 读后续写（共20分）

Paragraph 1:

In a second all went quiet. I slowly got up, looking around to see if anyone was hurt. However, one person did it faster than me. It was my father. He rushed to us, asking us, ''Is everyone OK?'' His voice was full of anxiety and love. Luckily, all were safe, except my little sister who had injured her left knee. We all surrounded her to check whether she could walk normally. She tried to stand up but failed because of the ache.

Paragraph 2:

When we had no idea what to do, the strange man came back. He said that the moment he heard the loud sound, he returned immediately. Seeing what we had experienced, he said sorry to us again and again, and told us the dangerous situation could be the reason why the area was a forbidden one. We had to give up our plan to the hot spring. With the strange man's help, we made a little ''bed'' with the branches, and carried my little sister back finally. What an adventure!
