Is it raining out there? No. its pretty nice, I replied, checking my sleeve. Oh, right. A pony(马驹) bit me earlier. As it happened, the bite was virtually painless: more the kind of small bite you might get from a naughty child. The pony responsible was queuing up for some ice cream in the car park near Haytor, and perhaps thought Id jumped in ahead of him. The reason why the ponies here are naughty is that Haytor is a tourist heavy area and tourists are constantly feeding the ponies foods, despite signs asking them not to. By feeding the ponies, tourists increase the risk of them getting hit by a car, and make them harder to gather during the areas annual pony drift(迁移). The purpose of a pony drift is to gather them up so their health can be checked, the baby ones can be stopped from feeding on their mothers milk, and those whove gone beyond their limited area can be returned to their correct area. Some of them are also later sold, in order to limit the number of ponies according to the rules set by Natural England. Three weeks ago, I witnessed a small neardisaster a few miles west of here. While walking, I noticed a pony roll over on his back. Hello! I said to him, assuming he was just rolling for fun, but he was very still and, as I got closer, I saw him kicking his legs in the air and breathing heavily. I began to properly worry. about him. Fortunately, I managed to get in touch with a Dartmoors Livestock Protection officer and send her a photo. The officer immediately sent a local farmer out to check on the pony. The pony had actually been trapped between two rocks. The farmer freed him, and he began to run happily around again. Dartmoor has 1,000 or so ponies, who play a critical role in creating the diversity of species in this area. Many people are working hard to preserve these ponies, and trying to e up with plans to find a sustainable(可持续的) future for one of Dartmoors most financiallytroubled elements.1.Why are tourists asked not to feed the ponies?A.

Looks like its back to school for me，” said Weibo user Weileiweito.Another user asked，“Have you duanged today? My mind is full of duang duang duang.”“To duang or not to duang, that is the question，”wrote user BaiKut automan.“Duang” seems to be an example of onomatopoeia (拟声词), a word that phonetically imitates a sound.It all seems to have started with Hong Kong action star Jackie Chan, who in 2004 was featured in a shampoo mercial where he said famously defended his sleek(光亮的), black hair using the rhythmicalsounding “duang”The word resurfaced again after Chan posted it on his Weibo page.Thousands of users then began to flood Chans Weibo page with ments，coining the word in reference to his infamous shampoo appearance.The word appears to have many different meanings, and theres no perfect translation, but you could use it as an adjective to give emphasis to the word that follows it.A kitten might be “duang cute”， for example.Or you might be “very duang confused” by this blog.For readers of Chinese characters, the Jackie Chan theme is also apparent from the quirky way in which the word is written: a bination of Chans Mandarin name.【解题导语】本文介绍了“duang”一词的来源以及不同的人对它的不同理解。1What does Paragraph 1 mainly talk about?AMany countries use the word “duang”BDebates arise online about the word “duang”CChinese dictionaries will contain a new character.DThe word “duang” is used very often on the Internet.D解析：段落大意题。根据第一段第二句中的“But it has already spread like wildfire online in China，appearing more than 8 million times on Chinas microblog site Weibo”可知，该段主要介绍了“duang”这个词在因特网上的广泛使用，故D项正确。2From what the persons mentioned in Paragraph 2 said, we can learn _A“duang” is popular among studentsByoung users can use “duang” freelyCusing “duang” is recognized as a fashionDdifferent people have their own understanding of “duang”D解析：推理判断题。根据第二段第二句中的“Everyones duanging and I still dont know what it means！”以及本段中其他两个人对“duang”的看法可推知，本段主要介绍了不同的人对“duang”有着不同的理解，故D项正确。3Why did Jackie Chan use the word “duang” in 2004?ATo invent a new character.BTo advertise for an action film.CTo show off his good hair in an ad.DTo ask his fans to flood his Weibo page.C解析：细节理解题。根据第三段第二句中的“Jackie Chan，who in 2004 was featured in a shampoo mercial where he said famously defended his sleek(光亮的)，black hair using the rhythmicalsounding duang”可知，成龙在2004年使用“duang”是为了在广告中展示他的好头发，故C项正确。4The underlined word “quirky” in the last paragraph probably means “_”Aunusual BmodernCperfect DquickA解析：词义猜测题。根据本文最后一句中的“in which the word is written：a bination of Chans Mandarin name”可知，“duang”字的写法是成龙姓名的中文写法的结合，这是一种不同寻常的表达方式；据此可以判断，画线词意为“不寻常的”。故A项正确。二、七选五Being Refreshed without SleepingSometimes there is just not enough hours in the day to get everything done and get a good nights rest._1_ Once in a while you can get away with a sleepless night and still feel reasonably good by adjusting your meals and activities._2_ The last thing you want to do when you are tired is get warm and cosy；this will cause you to fall asleep.Keeping the air conditioner on will make you feel much more awake and refreshed.Eat small amounts.Eating small amounts of healthy food will help refresh you.Fruit and nuts are a good choice because they are nutritious and will energize you._3_ Try to stick to lowcarb meals to keep you going.Chewing gum after your small meal will also help keep you awake.Keep it bright.When it is dark your body thinks it is time to go to sleep.Turn on lots of lights，which will trick your body into waking up and feeling better._4_ You get double the benefits if it is daytime.Take a break.Taking a little break will help you in the long run, Turn up some energizing music to get yourself positive.Relax and talk to a friend in person or on the phone for a few minutes._5_AKeep it cool.BCalm down and sleep.CAvoid big，heavy meals as they will make you tired.DGo outside whether it is day or night for some fresh air.EMissing sleep regularly can make you sick and should be avoided.FWhen you are tired，you may just want to sit around and do nothing.GHaving a good time for a few minutes will refresh you quicker than anything else.【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了几种在没有睡觉的情况下恢复精神的方法。难句分析：Once in a while you can get away with a sleepless night and still feel reasonably good by adjusting your meals and activities.(第一段最后一句)译文：你可以偶尔一个晚上不睡觉，通过调整饮食和活动，感觉也仍然很好。词汇积累：adjust v调整，适应nutrition n营养energize v使充满活力positive adj.积极的，乐观的1E根据上一句内容可知，有时白天没有足够的时间完成所有的事情，晚上也不能好好休息。E项“经常失眠可能会让你生病，所以要避免”承接上文内容，符合语境。故选E。2A空格处是本段的中心句。根据本段最后一句可知，开着空调会让你觉得更加清醒、精神振作。A项“保持凉爽”与之呼应，能概括本段内容。故选A。3C根据下一句中的“stick to lowcarb meals”可知，C项中的“Avoid big, heavy meals”与之相照应，即“不要吃太多，因为它们会使你很累”。故选C。4D空格下一句提到在白天会事半功倍。D项“不管是白天还是夜晚去外面呼吸新鲜的空气”与下文衔接紧密，符合语境。故选D。5G根据本段的中心句“Take a break.”和空格上一句中的“for a few minutes”可知，D项中的“Having a good time for a few minutes”与之照应。故选G。
