7．The Taklimakan Desert in western China has one of the world's most difficult environments．With no water，fierce winds and terrible sandstorms，the temperatures get as high as 40℃in summer and as low as-20℃in winter．Yet，even though it was such a difficult environment，many people in history have traveled through the Taklimakan Desert．Why would anyone want to do this？Cutting through this desert was the famous Silk Road，the main trading route between China and Europe．
In China，the Silk Road ran through the ancient city of Kashgar in Xinjiang，then north-east over the Taklimakan Desert to Dunhuang．From Dunhuang，the Silk Road went south-east through ancient Gansu，and then east to Xi'an．
The best-known product traded along the Silk Road was of course silk．Chinese silk was transported to Europeans，who liked it because it was soft．Other goods transported along the Silk Road included gold，ivory，glass，fur and ceramics．The Silk Road could be quite dangerous：apart from the difficulty of traveling through the desert，robbing was a constant problem．Many merchants traveled with guards to protect themselves and the goods they carried．
To Westerners the most famous traveler along the Silk Road was the Italian merchant，Marco Polo（AD 1254-1324）．However，Marco Polo was by no means the first person to travel along the Silk Road and tell others about it．In fact，in 139BC and 119BC，the Chinese explorer Zhang Qian was sent by Emperor Wu to visit the west．Zhang Qian's journey helped bring Chinese people a greater knowledge of the western lands．

29．What is the biggest temperature gap in the Taklimakan Desert？C
A.20℃．
B.40℃．
C.60℃．
D.80℃．
30．Some of the goods transported along the Silk Road includedB．
A．gold and silver    
B．glass and fur
C．a(chǎn)nimals and fur       
D．ivory and paper
31．Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage？D
A．Zhang Qian was sent to visit the west twice．
B．The main product traded along the Silk Road was silk．
C．Marco Polo was not the first person to travel along the Silk Road．
D．The Taklimakan Desert has the world's hottest weather．

30．B．細節(jié)題．根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容，The best-known product traded along the Silk Road was of course silk．Chinese silk was transported to Europeans，who liked it because it was soft．Other goods transported along the Silk Road included gold，ivory，glass，fur and ceramics．絲綢之路上最有名的就是中國的絲綢，此外還運輸金子、象牙、毛皮和陶瓷制品，結(jié)合選項，故選B
31．D．細節(jié)題．根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容，In fact，in 139BC and 119BC，the Chinese explorer Zhang Qian was sent by Emperor Wu to visit the west張騫出使西方2次，排除AThe best-known product traded along the Silk Road was of course silk．絲綢之路運送的最主要的事絲綢，排除BHowever，Marco Polo was by no means the first person to travel along the Silk Road and tell others about it．馬克菠蘿不是第一個沿絲綢之路探險的人，排除C，文中只提到塔克拉瑪干沙漠的最高溫是40度，并沒說是世界上最高的氣溫，故選D

點評 考察學生的細節(jié)理解和推理判斷能力，做細節(jié)理解題時一定要找到文章中的原句，和題干進行比較，再做出正確的選擇．在做推理判斷題不要以個人的主觀想象代替文章的事實，要根據(jù)文章事實進行合乎邏輯的推理判斷．

17．One day，when old Jacob and little Jacoble were walking home，the sun began to go down．Old Jacob was thinking of his house and little Jacoble didn't know what to think．Then he thought of a wonderful idea，and he cried，"Jacob!Do you know what I saw yesterday？I saw a green rabbit．It was flying in the air and it was so big，even bigger than an elephant!"
"You saw that with your own eyes？"asked old Jacob．"Of course I did，"said Jacoble proudly．"It's a good thing that you really saw that big，flying，green rabbit，"said old Jacob，"because that old bridge we are going to walk over is a very strange one．As soon as anyone who hasn't told the truth comes on it，the bridge breaks in two．"They continued walking．
"Jacob，"said Jacoble a little later，"you know that big，green，flying rabbit I saw yesterday…Well，it wasn't really flying，and…it wasn't quite as big as an elephant…but it was very big，about the size of a horse!""Big as a horse？"asked Jacob as they got closer to the bridge and little Jacoble began not to feel so well．
"Jacob，"said Jacoble．"That big，green rabbit I saw yesterday，well，I had something in my eye and so I couldn't see that well．It wasn't a very big rabbit but it was green．Yes，that's what it was-all green!"
Old Jacob didn't say a word．He just walked over the bridge．But Jacoble didn't go after him because he was afraid and he knew why he was afraid．He stood at the bridge and said，"Oh，Jacob!You know that rabbit I saw yesterday．It wasn't green．No．It was just a little，brown rabbit．"
Then he was not afraid of anything any more and he ran happily over the bridge．

18．Chinese consumers'crazy appetite for luxury goods and services appears unstoppable，with just 2 percent of the Chinese population responsible for one-third of the world's luxury items．
As China's economic miracle develops，the market opportunities for all sorts of luxury goods and services are increasing．Luxury consumption in China now extends ways beyond well-known car，clothing and jewelry brands．For example，the luxury jet market in China is the fastest-growing in the world，even outstripping that of the United States，with a market share of 25 percent．This trend appears to continue，with 20 to 30 percent growth expected in China，compared with only 2 to 3 percent in the US．But more importantly，China's luxury jet market growth represents a major development in the private consumption of luxury items．
China's high-quality red wine market also provides evidence of the growth in private consumption of luxury goods．In 2013，China became the largest market for red wine in the world，even overtaking France，with l.86 billion bottles consumed in China last year．Over the past five years，China's red wine consumption has grown 136 percent．
According to my ongoing consumer research in this area while working at the University of International Business and Economics in Beijing，public consumption of such expensive global luxury brands such as Prada and Armani is easily explained by the desire to"gain face"and publicly display social climbing through material possessions．On the other hand，it is"self-reward"that lies behind consumer motivation in this area．Chinese consumers who have experienced rapid financial and economic gains appear particularly prone to the need to reward themselves for their success．But this has little to do with"gaining face"and impressing others and much more to do with the need for personal contentment．
Finally，the growth in private luxury consumption in China is set to continue in part due to the maturity of the Chinese consumer and advancement of Chinese consumer culture generally．

32．What do you think the author would most probably be？C
A．A news reporter．B．An accountant．C．A professor．D．A conductor．
33．The underlined word"outstripping"in Paragraph 2 probably means"C"．
A．falling far behind of      
B．going out of                    
C．going far ahead of          
D．keeping pace with
34．What can we learn from Paragraphs 2 and 3？B
A．China's luxury jet market growth is only 2% to 3%．
B．France was once the largest market for red wine in the world before 2013．
C．The luxury jet market in the US shares 25%of the jet consumption in the world．
D．China's red wine consumption has increased to 1.86 billion bottles since 2013．
35．What can be the best title for the passage？B
A．Future Private Luxury Consumption in China     
B．Chinese Appetite for Luxury Goods and Services
C．The Potential Luxury Jet Market in China           
D．The Maturity of the Chinese Consumers．

19．A group of young people tired of reading‘bad news'have taken things into their own hands-and created a free positive newspaper．
The Champion is the resulting newspaper，which was produced with the support of the Youth Work Programme at LYCS （Lourdes Youth and Community Services） in Dublin's north east inner city，and was funded by the County Dublin Youth Services Board （CDYSB）．
The teens who put together the newspaper are aged from 13-19，and tired of reading in the media every day about young people hanging around and causing trouble．
This newspaper champions young people，covering a wide range of topics and including detailed reports of individual young people's work，ambition and achievements．
"They knew themselves that there were a lot of good things happening，"explained Sarah Kelleher，director of LYCS．"Their friends were achieving a lot and no one seems to comment about that．"She said that they picked the newspaper as opposed to any other media as"it's the printed word people see and it sticks in their mind"．
The teens understand why people want to read dramatic and negative news，and they aren't naive about crime or other serious issues．But they feel that there are a lot of good things happening that aren't being reported on．

The concept came from a small number of people，but in the end it took the work of at least 50people to complete the whole project．
They contacted youth clubs，schools，and other groups to find out what positive news they had to share．
The Champion also serves to promote youth work，which Sarah says"is a very low-cost service to run，but it can have an absolutely amazing impact for young people in a community like this"．She added that cuts can have an impact on youth work，and that"the more you keep young people in youth work，the more things like this they produce"．

32．Why did the teens start the newspaper？B
A．To promote youth work．
B．To promote positive news．
C．To free teens from reading．
D．To compete with other newspapers．
33．What is special of the newspaper？C
A．It is meant for young readers．
B．It sells thousands of copies a day．
C．It focuses on teens'good deeds．
D．It covers positive news of adults．

A．They get news from many sources．
B．They care little about social issues．
C．They prefer to write astonishing news．
D．They can't accept negative news being reported．
35．What quality of the teens is highlighted in the passage？C
