A good hiking trip should be planned out ahead of time. Whether it is a hike on a mountain trail (路线) or through the woods, an enjoyable hiking trip can easily tum into a dangerous situation if safety is not considered well. North Mountain State park recommends hikers consider the following tips before hitting any trails:

Make a copy of your itinerary and give it to a family member or a friend.

Make sure that someone close to you knows where you are and how long you will be gone.

Wear a good pair of hiking boots or strong athletic shoes.

The right shoes will keep you safe, warm, and comfortable.

Prepare for various types of weather conditions.

Check the forecast (天气预报) before you leave; take along sunglasses and extra clothing (e.g, a hat and 1 or a jacket for a day hike).

Pack plenty of food and water.

Consider how long your hike will be and pack accordingly.

Pack basic and necessary supplies.

Bring a first-aid kit (急救箱), a flashlight, a pocket knife, a map of the area (if available), and a compass (指南针). You may need other supplies, such as matches, depending on how long your hike will be.

Determine what time the sun sets.

This information is available in most local newspapers. Most people become lost after nightfall, so it is important to know this information.

Stay on properly marked trails.

Stay on established trails to reduce the chances of becoming lost. Staying on established trails also lowers the risk of doing harm to endangered plants.

Carry a whistle.

Using a loud whistle is a good way to call attention to your location if you get lost.

Keep an eye out for wildlife.

Do not approach animals in the wild, even if they seem friendly.

The Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission (WSPRC) manages a diverse (多样的) system of more than 120 parks. The 90-year-old park system, which receives nearly 48 million visits a year, ranks 4th nationally in day-use attendance, 10th in overnight attendance, and the WSPRC bas a smaller budget than most states.

Marian Bechtel sits at West Palm Beach’s Bar Louie counter by herself, quietly reading her e-book as she waits for her salad. What is she reading? None of your business! Lunch is Bechtel’s “me” time. And like more Americans, she’s not alone.

A new report found 46 percent of meals are eaten alone in America. More than half (53 percent) have breakfast alone and nearly half (46 percent) have lunch by themselves. Only at dinnertime are we eating together 74 percent, according to statistics from the report.

“I prefer to go out and be out. Alone, but together, you know?” Bechtel said, looking up from her book. Bechtel, who works in downtown West Palm Beach, has lunch with co-workers sometimes, but like many of us, too often works through lunch at her desk. A lunchtime escape allows her to keep a boss from tapping her on the shoulder. She returns to work feeling energized. “Today, I just wanted some time to myself,” she said.

Just two seats over, Andrew Mazoleny, a local videographer, is finishing his lunch at the bar. He likes that he can sit and check his phone in peace or chat up the barkeeper with whom he’s on a first-name basis if he wants to have a little interaction (交流). “I reflect on how my day’s gone and think about the rest of the week,” he said. “It’s a chance for self-reflection. You return to work recharged and with a plan.”

That freedom to choose is one reason more people like to eat alone. There was a time when people may have felt awkward about asking for a table for one, but those days are over. Now, we have our smartphones to keep us company at the table. “It doesn’t feel as alone as it may have before all the advances in technology,” said Laurie Demeritt, whose company provided the statistics for the report.

35. Why does Bechtel prefer to go out for lunch?

A. To meet with her co-workers.

B. To catch up with her work.

C. To have some time on her own.

D. To collect data for her report.

36. What do we know about Mazoleny?

A. He makes videos for the bar.

B. He’s fond of the food at the bar.

C. He interviews customers at the bar.

D. He’s familiar with the barkeeper.

37. What is the text mainly about?

A The trend of having meals alone.

B The importance of self-reflection.

C. The stress from working overtime.

D. The advantage of wireless technology.

C

One of the most stressful days of Susan McFrederick’s life was watching her son get wheeled away for surgery hours after he was born in 2011.

But after the operation, Susan burst into tears for a different reason: across the cut on their newborn son’s back was a sweet winter scene, hand-drawn on his bandages (绷带).

“There were rolling hills of snow, a pine tree and a snowman with a hat and a broom.” She recalled. “It was extremely touching and comforting to know that somebody had taken the time to do that for my family. It was a moment I’ll never forget.”

Susan soon learned the artist was her son’s surgeon, Robert Parry, who discovered another way to use his hands in the mid-1980s during his internship (实习期) at a children’s medical center, where he saw one of his colleagues cut out heart and shark shapes to decorate children’s bandages.

“My first reaction was, ‘What is he doing? Hey, that’s kind of neat,’” Parry recalled. “I especially liked the reactions of the parents and the patients when they saw his artwork. The smiles took everyone’s attention from the surgery. Then I decided to follow suit.”

Parry quickly graduated from his early hearts and sharks, and started to surprise families with drawings that captured young patients’ personalities. From Snoopy to Spider-Man and bears to butterflies, there isn’t much he hasn’t drawn. Most kids want superheroes, sports team logos or princesses, while babies often receive scenes with flowers, trees and sea creatures. During the last 30 years, Parry estimates he has left examples of his handiwork over the stitches (伤口缝线) of more than 10, 000 children.

“During a time of stress for families, it’s nice to be able to help them smile and laugh,” Parry said. “This is something positive that I can do for them, which is what I like most about it.”

For Parry, the reward is knowing he hopefully made a difference in a child’s life, and except for his drawings on bandages, “they can go on and live their lives and never know I was in it,” he said.

He’s not ready to retire, but he’s found a new hobby to keep his hands skillful in the years to come.

“I’ve taken up knitting (编织),” Parry said. “Hats, sweaters, glove — I enjoy it all. But mostly, I enjoy giving everything away.”

38. Susan burst into tears after her baby’s operation because she was ________.

A. moved B. amused C. stressed D. heartbroken

39. How did Parry get the idea of decorating children’s bandages?

A. He was motivated by his patients.

B. He was inspired by his colleague.

C. He was required to learn the skill during his internship.

D. He was encouraged by Susan to show his genius for art.

40. What does Parry expect to achieve with his artworks?

A. To get a reward from the artistic circle.

B. To win the admiration of his colleagues.

C. To make a difference in his dull medical career.

D. To lift the spirits of his patients and their parents.

41. What can we learn about Parry from the last two paragraphs of the passage?

A. He is eager to show others his new skills.

B. He enjoys trying new ways to help others.

C. He is looking forward to life after retirement.

D. He is more interested in knitting than drawing.

D

According to the US economist Robert Gordon, all the “impressive stuff” has been created; we have run out of the big, life-changing ideas needed to encourage rapid economic growth and engineers are now only just making slight changes. Inventions such as mobile phones, Gordon says, have had less impact than, say the invention of indoor plumbing (管路系统).

But this is a misunderstanding of how engineers work. There is no “Wow!” moment. The development of new technology happens little by little. You build upon the work of those before you, thinking about what could be done better and what could be improved. It’s an unending task. Michael Faraday invented the first electric motor. But Faraday’s breakthrough followed William Sturgeon’s invention of the electromagnet (电磁铁), and Alessandro Volta’s invention of the battery before that. Faraday would have expected future engineers to pick up the baton (接力棒) later down the line.

Reduced energy supplies, increasing populations and mass urbanization (城市化) keep clever young engineers awake at night. Those, for example, who enter the yearly James Dyson Award invent things that solve these problems and more. The 2012 winner Dan Watson designed a clever system of escape rings for fishing boat nets that deals with the issue of overfishing — not an exciting topic, but his invention is brilliant nevertheless. Human inventiveness remains undiminished (未减少的) in the face of new global challenges.

Our problem is patience. We expect new technology at a rate like never before. I can’t tell you the world’s next big invention. Last week brought news that we’ve invented a new way to deal with antibiotic resistant bacteria. Next week may bring a major development in another field. The biggest thing holding invention back is our impatience. With enough time and support, bright young engineers will develop exciting new technology to solve the world’s trickiest problems. Many have already begun.

42. Why does the author mention what Robert Gordon says?

A. To bring up the topic.

B. To draw a conclusion.

C. To provide background information.

D. To express his opinion about the topic.

43. What can we infer from Michael Faraday’s example?

A. New technology has been developing step by step.

B. New inventions fail to deal with new global challenges.

C. Michael Faraday set a good model for William Sturgeon.

D. Technology helps future engineers achieve success smoothly.

44. What makes Dan Watson’s invention excellent?

A. His young age.

B. His patience with technology.

C. His effort to solve real world problems.

D. His wish to win the James Dyson Award.

45. What does the text mainly tell us?

A. New technology has changed our world.

B. The age of invention isn’t dead — it just needs time.

C. Problems brought by the development of science and technology.

D. The most important invention in the past years.

第四部分 写作（共两节，满分25分）

第一节 阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）

阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。

It’s a warm afternoon and you’ve decided to take a walk in the park. You soon come across a favorite thing: a large fountain (喷泉). Feeling lucky, and perhaps a bit hopeful, you find a coin in your pocket, make a wish and throw it into the fountain. Then you notice all the other coins littering the bottom of the fountain. What happens, you wonder, to all that money?

Let’s head to Las Vegas. It’s a city with a great number of fountains, which are certain to be filled with coins. Some of the coins in Vegas are taken by people willing to walk into the water. Others are pulled into filtration (过滤) systems and end up in the rubbish. Most, however, are collected and donated (捐赠) to charities. The Bellagio, for example, donates about $12,000 a year in fountain coins to charities. And that’s just one hotel in Las Vega — add all the other hotels, and the amount of fountain coins is likely (可能的) to reach several hundred thousand dollars a year.

But not all fountain owners donate their coins — some use the money to pay for the price of maintenance. Take the Park Fountain in New York City’s Bryant Park. Every three months, park workers collect the fountain’s coins and turn the findings over to the Bryant Park Corp, which runs the green space. Although the amount is sometimes more than $3,000, it hardly covers the cost of cleaning the fountain.

The practice of throwing coins into fountains likely began in ancient times, when people thought spirits lived inside them. If a person passed by a fountain or a well without throwing in a coin, he or she would surely be followed by bad luck. The tradition slowly developed into a more personalized act, and people began making wishes as they threw coins into fountains and wells.

46. What happens to most of the coins in Las Vegas’ fountains? (no more than 10 words)

47. What does the underlined word probably mean in Paragraph 3? (no more than 5 words)

48. Why did the ancients throw coins into wells? (no more than 10 words)

49. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about? (no more than 15 words)

50. What custom do you like best in China? Please give an example and explain. (no more than 20 words)
