(10分)阅读理解 They say that travel is the best teacher and there is no better example of this idea than the Ming dynasty travel writer and geographer Xu Xiake (1587-1641). His book The Travel Notes of Xu Xiake, not only encouraged a love of travelling among Chinese people but provided important scientific information about the countrys land and geography.Born into a wealthy Jiangyin family, Xu became interested in books about different places at anearly age and wanted to travel. When he was 18, however. Xus father died and so, it seemed, did his travelling dreams. He now was responsible for the family farm and taking care of his 60-year-old mother as tradition required.But his mother had different ideas. Understanding her son, slove of travel and valuing the knowledge he could get from such experiences, this modern-thinking woman refused to keep her son at home. She agreed that Xu could travel for three months every year, when there was less farm work.So at the age of twenty and with his mothers support, Xu set off for the first time, leaving behind not only his mother but his new wife as well. He would repeat this goodbye each year for most of the next 30 years. During this time, he travelled throughout the Ming kingdom, carefully studying the lands he passed through and recording his experiences and many discoveries in a diary. This diary, which once had over 500,000 words, would eventually become The Travel Notes of Xu Xiake.Although rich, Xu avoided comfortable travel, preferring to go almost everywhere on foot. This way he could research the environment in detail and get a true picture of the natural world. Many of his trips were to hard-to-reach mountain areas, and through wild forests where few people lived. His willingness to face hardships came at a cost however. Progress was slow and tiring and he was frequently sick, robbed and beaten during his journeysSadly Xu became seriously ill during his last and longest journey, a 4-year trip through the Southwest of China. He died in 1641, soon after returning to his hometown for the last time. When his diary was finally printed years after his death, much of it had been destroyed or lost. Although incomplete, it still made Xu a travelling legend around the world.(1)What is the passage mainly about . A . The general details of Xu Xiakes life storyB . The difficulties Xu Xiake faced in his travelsC . The important discoveries made by Xu XiakeD . The influence of Xus book The Travel Notes of Xu Xiake(2)Which of the following best describes Xus mother . A . Strict but interestingB . Kind but uneducatedC . Helpful and hardworkingD . Supportive and open-minded(3)Why did Xu prefer walking during his travels? A . It gave him the chance to meet different kinds of peopleB . It helped him to save money and travel for a longer timeC . It allowed him to see and study the environment in detailD . It was the only way to reach the places he was interested in(4)What is true about Xus book The Travel Notes of Xu xiake . A . It was only made public after Xu diedB . It made Xu very famous during his lifetimeC . It was the first travel book ever written in ChinaD .

They are the beautiful half-human, half-fish creatures(生物). They have the head and body of a human and the tail of a fish. We also know that mermaids only exist in fairy tales. But where did all the stories about these creatures come from? If you have ever seen a manatee, then you might have an idea.Manatees, which are also called sea cows, are mammals(哺乳动物) that live in the sea. Since they are mammals, they have to swim up to the surface to breathe air. Many people believe that the story of the mermaid began with the ancient sailors who saw the manatees putting their heads out of the water to breathe. Because manatees are upright when they do this, it looks like they are standing. If a sailor saw a manatee doing this from far away across the sea, it is possible that the sailor would mistake the manatee for a creature that is half-human, half-fish.Mermaids are described as having very long hair. This is probably because manatees like to swim up to the surface of the water in areas where there is sea grass. Manatees eat all kinds of plants in the sea, including sea grass. The sea grass around the manatees head when they eat could create a picture of long hair.Manatees also have powerful tails that are very similar to the fish-like tail of a mermaid. The sailors probably watched manatees come up for air and then swim back below the surface, using their paddle-shaped tails. This would explain why the sailors thought mermaids had fish-like tails. (1)What are mermaids?(2)Where do manatees live?(3)Do manatees need to breathe air out of water?(4)What do manatees eat?(5)Why did the ancient sailors mistake manatees for mermaids?四、 任务型阅读(共5小题;每小题1分,满分5分) (共1题;共5分)7.

Machines have now reduced much time that people must spend on their jobs._ Those who have developed hobbies never need to worry about what to do with their newly-found free time hours.Sir William Osler, a famous Canadian doctor expressed the value of hobbies by saying, “No man is really happy or safe without a hobby.”A.
