1．If you're looking to fully experience Africa's breathtaking scenery，and have an eye for adventure，then there's only one place to be.Here，inside Africa picks four of the best hikes from across the continent.
Kilimanjaro
Make it to the top of Tanzania's 5895-meter Kilimanjaro，and you'll be standing at Africa's highest point.The mountain is Africa's most-visited hiking destination，attracting tens of thousands of tourists and adventures every year.
You don't have to be a technical climber to climb Mount Kilimanjaro；you just need not be pretty physically fit.There are six routes to choose from.No special equipment.
Atlas mountains
The High Atlas is an impressive mountainous range in central Morocco that hosts North Africa's highest peak.Mount Toubkal，at 4，165 meters.There's a variety of routes to follow during your climb but inexperienced climbers should note that the hike through the mountain's challenging zones is quite demanding.
Mount Kenya
A long-extinct volcano.Mount Kenya is Africa's second-highest peak，at 5，199 meters.Lying just south of the equator，the mountain's deep valleys and diverse wildlife will guarantee you wonderful scenery and a fantastic hiking experience.
The climb，however，to the mountain's steep ice-capped peaks is quite challenging，making it the most technical，probably，in that East African area.
Mount Meru
Mount Meru may forever exist in the shadow of its neighbor，Kilimanjaro，but Tanzania's second-highest mountain （4，565 meters） has its own devotees.
It's less known，but Mount Meru is for the true enthusiast who wants to experience what very few people actually do.
Mount Meru is often used by mountaineers to accustom themselves before trying to conquer Kilimanjaro，or by those wanting a hike with the local Massai.
（1）What do we know about Kilimanjaro？
A．It's Africa's second highest mountain.
B．Its six routes are equally difficult.
C．It's relatively easy to climb.
D．It lies to the east of Tanzania.
（2）Why do mountaineers climb Mount Meru first before they do Kilimanjaro？
A．To avoid big crowds of climbers.

2．"Have a nice day!" may be a pleasant gesture or a meaningless expression.When my friend Maxie says "Have a nice day!" with a smile，I know she sincerely cares about what happens to me.I feel loved and secure since another person cares about me and wishes me well.
"Have a nice day.Next!" This version of the expression is spoken by a salesgirl at the supermarket who is rushing me and my groceries out the door.The words come out in the same tone with a fixed procedure.They are spoken at me，not to me.Obviously，the concern for my day and everyone else's is the management's attempt to increase business.
The expression is one of those behaviors that help people get along with each other.Sometimes it indicates the end of a meeting.As soon as you hear it，you know the meeting is at an end.Sometimes the expression saves us when we don't know what to say. "Oh，you just had a tooth out？I'm terribly sorry，but have a nice day."
The expression can be pleasant.If a stranger says "Have a nice day" to you，you may find it heart-warming because someone you don't know has tried to be nice to you.
Although the use of the expression is an insincere，meaningless social custom at times，there is nothing wrong with the sentence except that others who speak it without thinking may not really care about my day.But in a strange and comfortable way，it's nice to know they care enough to pretend they care when they really don't care all that much.While the expression may not often be sincere，it is always spoken.The point is that people say it all the time when they like.
（1）How does the author understand Maxie's word？
A．Maxie shows her anxiety to the author.
B．Maxie really wishes the author a good day.
C．Maxie encourages the author to stay happy.
D．Maxie really worries about the author's security.
（2）What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 mean？
A．The salesgirl is rude.
B．The salesgirl is bored.
C．The salesgirl says the words as a routine.
D．The salesgirl cares about me.
（3）By saying "Have a nice day." a stranger may.
A．try to be friendly to you
B．express respect to you
B．give his blessing to you
D．share his pleasure with you
（4）What is the best title of the passage？
A．Have a nice day-a meaningless expression
B．Have a nice day-a Heart-warming Greeting
C．Have a nice day-a Polite Ending of a Conversation
D．Have a nice day-a Social Custom组卷：0引用：1难度：0.7 -
3．In the future，the Internet will be different from what it is now.There will be many more websjye.aies.It is predicted that in the year 2100，there will be hundreds of billions of websites.This means that the use of search engines will become much more important.And there will also be many more sites in different languages.This means that on every proper website，there will be links with the language you want.
Another prediction on the Internet is that data transmission speed will increase globally.According to Akamai Technologies，the average global data transmission speed in late 2009 was 1.7 megabits per second.Compare that to the record for data transmission speed set by Bell Labs：100 billion megabits per second.At that speed，you could transmit 400 DVDs worth of data every second.That's an enormous gap between what's currently possible and what's commercially available.But as time passes，the costs of producing super high speed networks will decrease.
In the future，people will live under the sea and the housing shortage will be solved.There will be lots of glass domes （穹状建筑物） under the sea，which allow people to look all around into the sea.Air will be provided via air pipes which lead to the open air.You can travel from one dome to another via a kind of submarine which will also be made of glass.The domes will be so beautiful and the view under the sea will be so impressive that many people will prefer to live under water，and less people will prefer to live on land.This will have a positive effect on the environment on land.
In the future we won't use oil or gas as energy any more.We will make use of sunlight，water and wind.Cars will run on water.Just fill your tank with water，and you can drive further than you could drive with the same amount of gasoline.Also，the exhaust won't be damaging to the environment，because it'll just be water vapor（蒸汽）.So the water cycle won't change，we'll keep the same amount of water on the earth，and we won't run out of water.Also，all energy will be supplied by natural sources：sunlight，wind and water.
（1）What can we know about the Internet in the future from the first two paragraphs？
A．It will be more important to use search engines.
B．Most of the websites will be designed in English.
C．People not knowing a foreign language will find it hard to surf the Internet.
D．There will be great gaps between developed countries and developing countries in Internet usage.
（2）Why are super high speed networks not available to the public at present？
A．Because the cost is too high.
B．Because there are technical difficulties.
C．Because Bell Labs doesn't want to sell its technique.
D．Because governments haven't recognized their value.
（3）The underlined word "exhaust" in Paragraph 4 probably refers to "".
A．oil product
B．waste air
C．solar energy
D．wind energy
（4）What can we infer from the text？
A．The Internet is the most advanced invention in history.
B．Water will run out sooner than we have expected.
C．Houses under the sea will be made from metal.
D．Sunlight，wind and water will benefit people more in the future.组卷：0引用：1难度：0.6 -
4．If you live in Shanghai，you might have to take a "lesson" in sorting garbage，as the city recently introduced new garbage-sorting regulations.It's now required that people should sort garbage into four categories，namely recyclable，harmful，dry and wet waste.However，if people fail to sort their garbage properly，they can be fined up to 200 yuan.More cities are introducing similar regulations，following the practice in Shanghai.By the end of 2020，garbage-sorting systems will have been built in 46 major Chinese cities，including Beijing and Shenzhen，reported People's Daily.
According to a study by the Policy Research Center for Environment and Economy，under the Ministry of Ecology and Environment，over 90 percent of the public believe that garbage sorting is important for the protection of the environment.However，garbage sorting is still a big problem in China.Only 30 percent of participants said they think they are adequately sorting their trash，the study noted.
According to Xinhua News Agency，it's partly because many people lack the willingness to sort their own waste.In the past，some previous garbage regulations didn't give clear fines for people who failed to sort garbage. "It's a must to have a legal guarantee to promote garbage sorting. " Liu Jianguo，a professor from Tsinghua University，told China Daily.He also added "the importance of the new regulations in Shanghai is to change the past voluntary action into compulsory action for everyone".
Aside from China，many other foreign countries have also introduced garbage-sorting regulations.In Japan，waste sorting has become a basic survival skill，reported Xinhua.There is a fixed time for disposal of each kind of garbage and littering can result in high fines and even jail time.In Germany too，people are asked to sort waste into specific categories，reported HuffPost.For example，in Berlin，people have yellow bins for plastic and metals and blue bins for paper and cardboard.
（1）What can we learn from paragraph 1？
A．People will be fined not less than 200 yuan.
B．Shanghai works as a pioneer in garbage sorting.
C．All the cities use the same regulations as Shanghai.
D．Poisonous waste belongs to four categories in sorting.
（2）Which statement is true according to the passage？
A．Not all the public attach importance to garbage sorting.
B．Garbage-sorting system have been built in 46 major cities.
C．People in Shanghai aren't fined clearly if they fail to sort garbage now.
D．People may be put in prison because of littering in Germany.
（3）What can be inferred from Liu Jianguo's words？
A．Legal guarantee is a must to promote garbage sorting.
B．There is a growing concern over garbage sorting worldwide.
C．He supports the legal regulations in garbage sorting.
D．The sorting action should be changed from compulsory to voluntary.
（4）Which of the following can be the best title for the text？

D．Important Regulations in Shanghai组卷：0引用：1难度：0.5
