【題目】“Our aim is to take our art to the world and make people understand what it is to move,” said David Belle, the founder of parkour ( also called free running－a kind of extreme sport).

Do you love running? It is a good exercise, yet many people find it boring. But what if making your morning jog a creative one? Like jumping from walls and over gaps, and ground rolls? Just like the James Bond in the movie Casino Royale? Bond jumps down from a roof to a windowsill and then runs several blocks over obstacles on the way. It is just because of Bond’s wonderful performances that the sport has become popular worldwide.

Yes, that’s parkour, an extreme street sport aimed at moving from one point to another as quickly as possible, getting over all the obstacles in the path using only the abilities of the human body. Parkour is considered an extreme sport. As its participants dash around a city, they may jump over fences, run up walls and even move from rooftop to rooftop.

Parkour can be just as exciting and charming as it sounds, but its participants see parkour much more than that.

Overcoming all the obstacles on the course and in life is part of the philosophy(理念) behind parkour. This is the same as life. You must determine your destination, go straight, jump over all the barriers as if in parkour and never fall back from them in your life, to reach the destination successfully. A parkour lover said, “I love parkour because its philosophy has become my life, my way to do everything.”

Another philosophy we’ve learnt from parkour is freedom. It can be done by anyone, at any time, anywhere in the world. It is a kind of expression of trust in yourself that you earn energy and confidence.

【1】Parkour has become popular throughout the world because of .

A. the film, Casino Royale

B. its founder, David Belle

C. its risks and tricks

D. the varieties of participants

【2】The underlined word “obstacles” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to“ ”.

【3】Which of the following is true of parkour?

A. It challenges human abilities.

B. It is a good but boring sport.

C. It needs special training.

D. It is a team sport.

【4】Which of the following is the philosophy of parkour?

A. Sports and extremes.

B. Excitement and popularity.

C. Dreams and success.

D. Determination and freedom.

【題目】In the past, friendships were greatly limited by time, space and attention； increasing home and workplace mobility has made it even harder to keep social relations over time. Through a combination of user controls, new technologies and changing standards of social behavior, Facebook is freeing us from these limitations, making friendships more accessible, pleasant and diverse than ever before.

First, Facebook allows you to find and rediscover friends and then reminds you of these connections, so that you are less likely to fall out of touch with the long-lost school friend, or the family member in a different country. 'Second, Facebook creates an environment that allows you to interact easily with others ： you can share your photos，videos，links and thoughts with your friends， and respond to what they share in turn. Third, Facebook’s unique technical system helps you to discover your friends，most valuable stories. These technologies allow people to keep and enrich friendships that they might otherwise have been unable to keep.

The effect of this is very great. A recent study by Keith Hampton for the Pew Internet and American Life Project discovered that users of social networking websites have larger, more diverse social circles, online and offline. This outcome comes at no cost to one’s closest relationships, which are kept in person and over the phone. Instead, the hour that the average user spends each day socializing on Facebook comes at the expense of less social activities, such as the three or so hours a day the average person spends watching television.

Time may limit our ability to keep social ties, but our desire for social communication is limitless. Just as boats have allowed us to cross oceans and vehicles have allowed us to move mountains, Facebook is a tool that allows us to stay more deeply connected with a larger and more diverse set of friends.

【1】 What can you do with the help of Facebook according to the text?

A. Protect the environment.

B. Find a new house or workplace.

C. Rediscover long-lost classmates.

D. Change the behavior towards your friends.

【2】 What will social networking websites do?

A. Increase the diversity of social relations.

B. Share the hours of watching television.

C. Restrict personal friendship.

D. Limit social activities.

【3】 What is the author's attitude towards Facebook?

A. Worried. B. Doubtful. C. Approving. D. Curious.

【題目】One of the most recent social changes taking place in the world is social networking. Social networking has been in existence for at least 150 years, and probably longer than that. In the times before the invention of the computer and the World Wide Web (WWW), social networking was done in person. People who had similar likes and interests would gather together to share experiences, make new friends, and improve their businesses.

On the Internet, social networking websites made their first appearances during the late 1990s. The first major social networking website in the United States was MySpace. MySpace allowed its users to exchange messages, share pictures, and make new friends in a way that was never thought of in the past. With MySpace, people who did not go out much could reach out to others from their own homes.

In 2004, Facebook was created. It was first a website created for use by Harvard University’s students and teachers, but it soon expanded to include just about everyone. It is now larger than some of the largest companies in the world. It is a website that is changing all the time. Facebook has completely changed the way people stay connected with each other and the rest of the world. The way it works is simple. Users can set up a new account (賬戶(hù)) easily. All a new user needs is an email address to start. Once a person has created an account and his friend also has his own Facebook page, he can invite his friend by sending a request out to him. Once you get started, making new friends will come easily.

【1】What can we learn about social networking?

A. It is not a new development.

B. It made World Wide Web famous.

C. It appeared because of the computers.

D. It helped people develop new interests.

【2】What can we learn from Paragraph 2?

A. MySpace is less famous than Facebook.

B. MySpace greatly changed people’s lives.

C. MySpace led to the appearance of Facebook.

D. MySpace was improved by Harvard University’s students.

【3】What do new users of Facebook need to create an account?

A. An email address.

B. His friend’s help.

C. High-speed network.

D. His friend’s Facebook page.

【4】What does the passage mainly tell us?

A. The way to be a Facebook user.

B. The importance of social networking.

C. Two important social networking websites.

D. The differences between MySpace and Facebook.

【題目】When we were very small, we realized that having friends was important. Some of us even had imaginary（想象中的）friends. The need for friends continued as we grew into our teens. Friends played a big part in forming our personalities（性格）. As adults, it is still important for us to have friends.

True friends are people who like us though we made mistakes and who listen to us and tell us the truth. Friends support our decisions and tell us when we’re foolish. They laugh with us and share our sadness. They are our partners and share interests with us. They stimulate us when we are feeling down. They are people we aren’t afraid of telling our secret wishes to or what is really on our minds.

Friends are our supporters. When you can depend on friends, you feel safe and warm. Friends offer acceptance and emotional（情感的） support. At times, they also help with our everyday lives, cooking a meal, doing chores, or giving us a lift when we need one. Friends also are there to offer advice, an ear to listen, or a shoulder to cry on.

Friends also help us reduce stress. Not only do they listen to us when we feel stressed, but they also discuss what is stressing us. Sharing interests and doing activities with friends help us forget about problems at work or at home.

【題目】Imagine being given the opportunity to wake up to lions, eat your meals with monkeys, and even share your bath with bears, all from the comfort of a unique new lodging experience.

The Jamala Wildlife Lodge opened its doors in January 2015, which was set up in an effort to educate visitors about aiding the survival of many of the world's endangered species.

“It’s great for the animals; they're going to get more space. It's great for the viewing public; they're going to get more things to see. It will be great for tourism and just for the local community," Said Richard Tindale, the owner and operator.

Spreading across three locations in the National Zoo, the 18 rooms, which range from giraffe tree houses to jungle bungalows, offer a fantastic experience with wildlife

The Burley Griffin House

Only meters from the edge of Lake Burley Griffin, the indoor and outdoor entertaining areas have splendid views across the lake to Black Mountain.
