Located in Pisa, the Leaning Tower of Pisa in Italy has become the sign of Italy. It is the third oldest structure in Pisa’s Cathedral Square. There eight floors in the Leaning Tower of Pisa including observation deck at the top. The weight of the tower is about 14,500 metric tons. There are amazing facts of the Leaning Tower of Pisa that we will mention here.

The Leaning Tower of Pisa was not originally intended to lean, but because it was built on soft soils the tower gradually leaned to one side. Prior to its restoration (修复) from 1990 to 2001, the tower had a tilt (倾斜) of 5.5 degrees. Many people think that it will fall one day. Millions of tourists come to the lawns around the tower to take the classic photo pretending to hold up or knock down the tower.

It is said that you must visit the Leaning Tower of Pisa during the day. At night the shops are closed and it appears unimpressive. But, if you plan to visit on a full moon night, the tower will look charming. Mornings are the best time to beat the crowds. Summer in Pisa is very hot and wet, but you can expect rain in fall and winter.

Even though some people regard the tower to be an engineering failure owing to the tilt, the tower has acquired a special place in history. The tower has also been used for experiments by the famous Italian scientist named Galileo Galilei. He is believed to have thrown two balls of different mass from the tower to prove that their falling time is not related to their mass.

Now many young people are travelling around the world on their own, not because they have no one to travel with, but because they prefer to go alone.

Kristina Wegscheider from California first travelled alone when she was at college and believed that it was something everyone should do at least once in their life. She said, “It opens your mind to new things and pushes you out of your comfort zone.” Wegscheider has visited 46 countries covering all seven continents.

In foreign countries, with no one to help you read a map, look after you if you get ill, or lend you money if your wallet is stolen, it is challenging. This is what drives young people to travel alone. It is seen as character building and a chance to prove that they can make it on their own.

Chris decided to leave his sales job in Australia to go travelling. He set up a website, The Aussie Nomad, to document his adventures. He said he wished he had travelled alone earlier. “The people you meet, the places you visit, or the things you do, everything is up to you and it forces you to grow as a person,” said the man.

Chris describes travelling alone will make you a more confident person who is ready to deal with anything. He said, “The feeling of having overcome something on my own is a major part of what drives me each day when I’m dealing with a difficult task. I walk around with my head up because I know deep down inside that nothing is impossible if you try.”

As the saying goes, “Only by going alone in silence can one truly get into the heart of the wilderness.”

5. Which of the following will Kristina Wegscheider agree with?

A. Travelling abroad helps people to find new things.

B. It is more meaningful to travel in foreign countries.

C. It is comfortable to travel around without a friend.

D. Travelling alone is a necessary experience for everyone.

6. Travelling alone is challenging because ________.

A. you have to choose things on your own

B. it is hard for you to prove yourself to others

C. you can only depend on yourself whatever happens

D. it pushes you into the comfort zone

7. What can we know about Chris?

A. He started travelling alone at an early age. 

B. He once was afraid of travelling.

C. He used to work as a salesman.

D. His website inspires others a lot.

8. What is the best title for the passage?

A. Travel Abroad  B. Travel Alone   C. Travel Light  D. Travel Far

二、七选五（每小题2分，共10分）

Walking the Great Wall of China can be as ambitious as tackling the entire 1,800 miles from the Gobi Desert to the Yellow Sea or spending a morning or afternoon climbing a section with a tour group. 9.        Read about the history of the Great Wall’s construction so you can appreciate those many uneven steps.

Book a half-day tour right from your Beijing hotel. Bring a bottle of water and a light bag, a hat, sunglasses and sunscreen and, of course, your camera. Obtain necessary government permits for a more ambitious independent hike. 10.        Pack your equipment for a walk along all or a large section of the Great Wall and then try to reduce its weight. 11.       Get good maps and study recent trip diaries and guides. Break in your climbing shoes and don’t forget to put lots of bandages and sun cream in the first-aid kit.

Decide whether you will begin in the Gobi Desert or at the Yellow Sea. Desert travel is tiring and slow-going. 12.       Create a plan and file it with a friend you will contact at regular intervals. This is an essential safety step for an isolated, dangerous trip.

 13.        The trip is as much about absorbing cultures as walking the Great Wall.  Villagers may offer you meals and lodging. In remote areas this can be a time saver. Travel with a friend if possible; learn some basic Chinese before you go and engage pleasantly but carefully with local people in the less-developed regions.

A. Accept local kindness but exercise caution.

B. You can also bring nothing with you.

C. Consult a good camping supply store for the lightest equipment.

D. The heat is fierce so plan walks for early morning and late afternoon.

E. You will connect with Chinese history and culture and test your own limits.

F. Both approaches demand some physical fitness, the right shoes and preparation.

G. Start that process months in advance of travel to ensure your trip won’t be delayed.

英 语（二）答案

一、阅读理解（每小题2分，共16分）

【答案】1-4 BBCC   

【解析】这是一篇说明文。描述了比萨斜塔作为意大利的标志性建筑，每年吸引了众多游客。

1.细节理解题。依据第一段中的“It is the third oldest structure in Pisa’s Cathedral Square”可知，在比萨大教堂广场上不仅仅有一座古建筑，因此选项B正确。

2.细节理解题。依据第二段中的“because it was built on soft soils”可知，该塔倾斜的原因是它建在松软的土地上，并不是建筑使用了松软的土，故排除D项，B项正确。

3.细节理解题。依据第三段中的“Mornings are the best time to beat the crowds”可知，上午是参观斜塔的最佳时间，那个时候可以避开人群，故选C项。

4.推理判断题。依据倒数第二段倒数一、二句“The tower has also been used for experiments by the famous Italian scientist named Galileo Galilei. He is believed to have thrown two balls of different mass from the tower to prove that their falling time is not related to their mass.”可知,科学家伽利略曾经在斜塔上做过抛下两个不同质量的球体的实验，这使斜塔变得更加有名，由此可知C项正确。

二、七选五（每小题2分，共10分）

【答案】9-13 FGCDA

【解析】这是一篇说明文。短文介绍了游览长城需要注意的一些事项。

9. 由“Walking the Great Wall of China can be as ambitious as tackling the entire 1,800 miles from the Gobi Desert to the Yellow Sea or spending a morning or afternoon climbing a section with a tour group.”可知，徒步游览中国的万里长城，和完成从戈壁沙漠到黄海的1,800英里的路程，或者花上一上午或下午的时间和一个旅游团一起爬上长城的一部分一样的艰巨。所以游览的方式有两种。这与F项中的“Both approaches”相呼应。所以此处要说明这两种方式都有哪些要求。故F选项“两种方式都需要健康的身体，合适的鞋子和必要的准备”。故F选项切题。

10. 由“Obtain necessary government permits for a more ambitious independent hike”可知，获得必要的政府许可，以便进行更艰巨的独立徒步旅行。而获得政府的许可需要一个过程。所以此处要告诫读者提前几个月开始做准备，以确保你的旅行不会被推迟。故G选项切题。

11. 由“Pack your equipment for a walk along all or a large section of the Great Wall and then try to reduce its weight. Get good maps and study recent trip diaries and guides 可知，为登长城打包装备并尽量减轻重量。买一张好的地图，研究最近的旅行日记和指南。所以此处是承接句，与前后句都在说明为登长城所做的准备。故C选项“找一家好的露营用品商店购买最轻的装备”符合句意。故C选项切题。

12. 由“Desert travel is tiring and slow-going.”可知，沙漠旅行是令人疲惫且行进缓慢的。所以此处要说明面对沙漠的高温时，要计划什么时间段走。故D选项“天气很热，所以计划在清晨和傍晚走”故D选项切题。

13. 由下文中的“Villagers may offer you meals and lodging”和“learn some basic Chinese before you go and engage pleasantly but carefully with local people in the less-developed regions. ”可知，村民们会为你提供食宿。在去之前学习一些基本的中文，与较偏僻地区的人们愉快交往，但仍应心存警惕。所以本段的主旨是接受当地人的善意，但要谨慎行事。也就是本段第一句所要说明的内容。故A选项“接受当地人的善意，但要谨慎行事”符合句意。故A选项切题。
