 We live in a fast-paced and anxiety-filled world that oftentimes seems to shift beneath our feet. Thus we are sometimes affected by fears or anxiety impacting our life. For as long as I could remember I had struggled with anxiety. After I left university, I made friends with a Moroccan woman at work. One day she invited me to 1her and her family back home. I wanted to, but I would have to travel there 2and I knew we would be in a very rural area. How would I cope with my 3   ?

Then one day it 4to me that I had a life to live. I could choose to let anxiety 5me or I could go to Morocco and 6   something different. I was 23 years old and had never been out of the UK alone. The journey to Morocco 7something inside me. I managed to cope with my anxiety. The sense of 8was overwhelming and still to this day when I get afraid of going somewhere alone, I remember how 9it felt when I arrived in Morocco.

Upon arrival I was so 10for the generous welcome I received. My friend’s family had arranged a welcome party. The people were so loving toward me.

十、阅读理解（共2题；共16分）

29.阅读理解 

Traveling with kids is 90 percent reminding yourself to live in the moment and 10 percent making up your mind to never again leave your house.

I have an uncanny ability to forget this as soon as we return home from a trip and I've finished washing piles of dirty clothes in our luggage and cleaning all the messy caused by the kids. Extremely tired and annoyed, I would actually begin to miss the place we just left!

Family travel is like childbirth, I suppose. Painful, loud, messy, sort of awful, actually, but also wonderful. And you remember only the wonderful—until you're back on a plane and your kids are fighting over who gets the aisle seat. Then you remember the bad stuff.

Last weekend, my kids and I flew to Texas for a trip we would have nothing to complain(抱怨) about—big hotel, wonderful view.

And yet—we found things to complain about. The pool was bigger in that other hotel! Why do you get to shower first? They call this coffee?! Luckily, I've learned to put my metaphorical coat of armor (盔甲) on as soon as we land somewhere, and it forces complaints to bounce off me and land in a pile at my feet.

For three days, genuine fun was had and annoying complaints were heard and ignored. Until it was time to catch a plane and fly home.

Unfortunately, our flight was canceled. We spent hours finding a hotel room. We hit the hotel pool before bed and swam well into the night, my kids making up songs and laughing so hard at their silly lyrics (歌词) and their crazy good fortune to be swimming at 10: 30 on a school night.

And that was when it hit me that family travel is all those things I said before but it's also a lot more. It's taking your kids to parts of the world that will open their eyes and finding that actually, yours need opening too. It's remembering that joy and memories are where you make them, not where you find them.

（1）The underlined word "uncanny" in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to  .

A.unknown.
B.uncertain.
C.unexpected.
D.unusual.

（2）According to the passage, family travel is like childbirth in that  .

A.they both cause financial trouble and pain.
B.they are both hard as well as rewarding.
C.childhood memories come flooding back when they travel.
D.both of them need many preparations.

（3）By saying "I've learned to put my metaphorical coat of armor on" in Paragraph 5, the author means that  .

A.she tries to deal with the complaints more wisely and properly.
B.she turns those annoying complaints into a means to educate kids.
C.she has improved her language skills when handling the complaints.
D.she has succeeded in escaping kids' fighting thanks to the armor.

（4）From the author's experience in the passage, we can NOT learn that  .

A.family vacation benefits her kids as well as her.
B.joy and memories should be created rather than discovered.
C.the most unforgettable memory for her is about the complaints.
D.she has to spend some time on housework after the family vacation.

30.阅读理解

The other day I heard a few local musicians talking:

"I hate all the terrible pianos in this town. I hate that rubbish they play on the radio. They can't even understand a bit of music."

" I'm never playing in that club again. Too many drunks and nobody listens to us."

But one younger musician said, "There are a few clubs that book my band a few nights a month, and I'm trying to find other places to play. I'm also looking to book a few summer festivals this year."

I've heard that you are the average of the five people whom you spend the most time with, or to put it another way, you are who your friends are.

Attitudes are important. Whether they're positive or negative, they're rubbing off on you. If you're around people who complain about lack of work and about other musicians, or blame others, and you play the role of victim, chances are you'll start to as well. So it's time to take a look at the people you call "friends".

This is an easy exercise: Make a list of the people who you hang out with, and simply stop spending time with the negative people on your list. Set a new standard for yourself and don't become friends with people who fall below that standard.

Keep successful people around you and your own chances for success will be much better. Ask them how they do it. Ask if they will help you get the work you're looking for, or maybe give you some advice to help you on your career path.

（1）The musicians' words at the beginning are written mainly to show ______.

A.the musicians have a bad life
B.people have poor taste in music
C.people have different attitudes towards the same thing
D.young people have greater chances of succeeding

（2）The underlined sentence "they're rubbing off on you" in Paragraph 6 means ______.

A.they'll push you ahead
B.they'll influence you
C.they'll discover your shortcomings
D.they'll help you achieve your goal

（3）From Paragraph 7, we can ______.

A.make more friends
B.know the right way of making friends
C.develop a better relationship with our friends
D.arrange the time with our friends properly

（4）Which of the following would be the best title for this passage?

A.You are who your friends are
B.True friends have hearts that beat as one
C.A friend in need is a friend indeed
D.Friends are thieves of time

33.【答案】 Dear Tom,
I'm more than glad to receive your letter. And it's a pleasure to tell you something about how I spent the Summer holiday.
To begin with, I had a good rest because recently I often felt tired as a result of my heavy study burden as well as lack of sleep and physical exercise. In addition, it took me two days to stay with my grandparents living in the countryside and help them do some housework and tell them what happened to me and my friends. What's more, I had a trip with my friends to appreciate the beauty of nature and breathe fresh air and the trip broadened my horizons and enriched my knowledge during pleasure.
What did you do in your summer holidays? I'm looking forward to hearing from you.
Best wishes!
Yours,
Li Ping
