Camping wild is a wonderful way to experience the natural world and ,at its best, it makes little environmental influence. But with increasing numbers of people wanting to escape into the wilderness, it is becoming more and more important to camp unobtrusively(不引人注目地)and leave no mark.
Wild camping is not permitted in many places, particularly in crowded lowland Britain. Wherever you are, find out about organizations responsible for managing wild spaces, and contact them to find out their policy on camping and shelter building. For example, it is fine to camp wild in remote parts of Scotland, but in England you must ask the landowner’s permission, except in national parks.
Camping is about having relaxation, sleeping outdoors, experiencing bad weather, and making do without modern conveniences. A busy, fully-equipped campsite(野營地)seems to go against this, so seek out smaller, more remote places with easy access to open spaces and perhaps beaches. Better still, find a campsite with no road access: walking in makes a real adventure.
Finding the right spot to camp is the first step to guaranteeing a good night’s sleep. Choose a campsite with privacy and minimum influence on others and the environment. Try to use an area where people have obviously camped before rather than creating a new spot. When camping in woodland, avoid standing dead trees, which may fall on a windy night. Avoid animal runs and caves, and possible homes of biting insects. Make sure you have most protection on the windward side. If you make a fire, do so downwind of your shelter. Always consider what influence you might have on the natural world. Avoid damaging plants. A good campsite is found, not made—changing it should be unnecessary.
小題1:You needn’t ask for permission when camping in.
A.national parks in EnglandB.most parts of Scotland
C.crowded lowland BritainD.most parts of England
小題2:The author thinks that a good campsite is one.
A. with easy access           B. used previously
C with modern conveniences     D. far away from beaches
小題3:The last paragraph mainly deals with
A. protecting animals       B. building a campfire
C camping in woodland      D. finding a campsite with privacy
小題4:The passage is mainly about
A.the protection of campsitesB.the importance of wild camping
C.the human influence on campsitesD.the dos and don’ts of wild camping

小題1:A
小題2:B
小題3:C
小題4:D

小題1:細節(jié)題。從下句可以知道答案。but in England you must ask the landowner’s permission, except in national parks.
小題2:細節(jié)判斷題。最后一段中的Try to use an area where people have obviously camped before rather than creating a new spot告訴了我們該題的答案。A和C應該改為without easy access without modern conveniences。
小題3:主旨判斷題。最后一段話主要告訴考生camping in woodland的時候要注意那些事項。
小題4:主旨大意題。全文告訴我們當我們wild camping的時候我們可以做的事情和不能做的事情。該題容易誤選A。文章不是僅僅講野營地的保護。

When someone steps on your toe by accident, you will hurt plenty.But it hurts even more, if you think the person does the same thing on purpose.Earlier studies have found that the feeling of pain can change with how it is experienced.That is why giving people sugar pills and saying they are medicine can make them feel better.
This study examined whether self-reported pain is indeed higher when the events producing the pain are understood as intentionally caused by another person.For the study, the researchers told 40 volunteers that they were going to do a series of tasks, including color matching, number counting and discomfort assessment.This last task involved their receiving a brief electric shock to the wrist.They were told that a partner, sitting in another room, would choose which task they would do, and a computer screen helped them to know their partner’s choice.
In some cases, the volunteers were told their partner had chosen the pain tolerance test.In others, they were told the computers would select the pain tolerance test regardless of their partner’s choice.When volunteers thought that their partners were making the shocks on them on purpose, the feeling made the pain worse.As a matter of fact, they were the same.
This study provides evidence that the experience of pain changes depending upon how they think when people have been harmed.Specifically, the meaning of a harm — whether it was intended — influences the amount of pain it causes.So, although a broken toe may hurt, an intentionally broken toe should hurt more.
小題1:It can be concluded from the text that _______.
A.the feeling of pain varies from one person to another
B.long-lasting pain damages people’s health
C.pain is greater if harm seems to be intentionally done
D.people suffer more from accidental pain
小題2:What can we infer from the text?
A.People can reduce pain by relaxing.
B.Researchers study how pain is caused.
C.Everyone should know the effect of pain.
D.People should think more about pain.
小題3:What does the underlined word “they” in the third paragraph refer to?
A.Volunteers.B.Computers.
C.Shocks.D.Pains.
小題4:What’s the author’s attitude to the result of the study?  
A.Indifferent.B.Sceptical.
C.Disapproving.D.Approving.

Think back to this time last year. What was on your mind?
Most likely, you were thinking about finals or the holidays, although in this city I’ve noticed that thinking about the holiday is a fancy way of saying how much stuff will I get.
Now reflect on your thoughts for this holiday season. Most people are still thinking about the holidays, but I say that with a grain of salt. Everybody with a functioning brain and the ability to communicate knows that this holioday season comes with a pretty large price tag: the debt of all the hardships, both domestic and foreign, that we’ve faced over the past 12months.
Let’s face it: some of us will get everything we want over the holidays. But there are others whose parents have lost their jobs or who have lost jobs themselves because of the current economic situation. As much as we try to ignore it, there is still economic unrest in the blue and gold suburb.
In this situation, we have three options. One: We ignore the situation, like we seem to do for every bad thing that happens around us, because by God, it’s the American Way! Two: We recognize that our economy is shot, feel bad about it and spend our time wishing for the good old days. Three: We recognize that our economy is shot, but instead of moping, reflect on every good thing that we have going for us. Now, which option sounds best to you?
I spent a week this summer working in and around New York City with the city’s homeless population. Or so I thought. Although a lot of the people I served were in fact homeless, a significant number of them had a job or a home or both. The truth of the importance of this situation is that they and thousands of others across the country can’t afford even the most basic things of life, even while working two jobs. Yet no one that I met complained about their hardships. Instead, they took whatever I happened to give them(which was, more often than enough, not enough) and were genuinely grateful for what they had.
Wrap your heads around that statement for a second. These people worked their butts off to stay alive with minimal results, yet were overjoyed by a flimsy(脆弱的) paper plate with donated green beans on it. Although I am ashamed to admit it( both as a girthy figure and an affluent citizen), I have taken for granted most of my meals, let alone green beans, and I know for a fact that I am not alone.
64. 小題1:According to the passage when people think about holidays they care much for ____.
A.where to spend their holidaysB.how to spend their holidays
C.what they can get for their holidaysD.who they should go to visit
65. 小題2:When the author wrote the article, the economic situation in his country ____.
A.began to go bad.B.began to improveC.was still seriousD.was favorable for middle class.
66. 小題3:The author wrote the article mainly to advise people____.
A.to be thankful in time of hardship.B.to spend their holidays in a wise way
C.to think little about their holidaysD.to help the country to sail through the crisis
67. 小題4:It can be inferred from the passage that the writer is most probably ______.
A.a(chǎn) homeless childB.a(chǎn)n old professorC.a(chǎn) famous scientistD.a(chǎn) young student

  Some time ago ,I discovered that one of my chairs had a broken leg. I didn’t think there would be any difficulty in getting it mended ,as there are a whole lot of antique(古董)shops near my home. So I left home one morning carrying the chair with me. I went into the first shop expecting a friendly reception(接待). I was quite wrong. The man wouldn't oven look at my chair.
  The second shop, though slightly more polite, was just the same, and the third and the fourth - so I decided that my approach must be wrong.
  I went into the fifth shop with a plan in my mind. I placed the chair on the floor and said to the shopkeeper,“ Would you like to buy a chair?” He looked it over carefully and said,“ Yes, not a bad chair. How much do you want for it, sir?” “Twenty pounds,”I said. “OK, ”he said, “I’ll give you twenty pounds. ”“It ‘s got a slightly broken leg,”I said. “Yes, I saw that, it's nothing.”
  Everything was going according to plan and I was getting excited. “What will you do with it?”I asked. “Oh, it will be easy to sell once the repair is done. ”“I'll buy it,”I said. “What do you mean?You’ve just sold it to me,”he said. “Yes, I know but I’ve changed my mind. I'm sorry, I'll give you twenty -seven pounds for it. ”“ Your must be crazy, ”he said. Then, suddenly the penny dropped. “I know what you want. You want me to repair your chair. ”“ You’re right, ”I said. “And what would you have done if I had walked in and said,’Would you mend this chair for me I wouldn't have agreed to do it,” he said. “We don’t do repairs, not enough money in it and too much trouble. But I’ll mend this for you, shall we say for a fiver?”He was a very nice man and was greatly amused(感到有趣)by the whole thing.
  小題1:We can learn from the text that in the first shop the writer ________.
A.was rather impolite
B.was warmly received
C.a(chǎn)sked the shopkeeper to buy his chair
D.a(chǎn)sked the shopkeeper to repair his chair

How do successful people think? What drives them? Interviews and investigations indicate that there are several keys to success that successful people share.
First of all, successful people never blame someone or something outside of themselves for their failure to go ahead. They realize that their future lies in their own hands. They understand that they cannot control things in life, such as nature, the past and other people. But in the meantime, they are well aware that they can control their own thoughts and actions. They take responsibility for their life and regard this as one of the most empowering things they can do. Perhaps what most separates successful people from others is that they live a life “on purpose”---- they are doing what they believe they are put here to do. In their opinion, having a purpose in their life is the most important element that enables them to become fully functioning people. They hold that when they live their life on purpose, their main concern is to do the job right. They love what they do ---- and it shows. People want to do business with them because of their commitment(忠誠). To live their life on purpose, successful people find a cause they believe in and create a business around it. Besides, they never easily give up. Once they have set up goals in their life, they are willing to work hard whatever it takes to achieve their goals. Top achievers always bear in mind what they don’t have.
Rather than be negative or depressing, they use the knowledge to spur themselves on and go after what they want energetically and passionately.
46. The underlined word “it ” refers to “____”.
A. the main concern of successful people
B. the job that successful people do
C. the commitment with which successful people do their jobs
D. the business that successful people do with other people
47. By living a life “on purpose”, successful people can do the following EXCEPT ____.
A. do a lot of work   
B. concentrate on their jobs
C. do business with many people     
D. control things in life
48. The underlined word “spur ” most probably means “____”.
A. encourage         B. excite              C. relieve       D. compel
