28、ains. Lovci typically takes a group of eight to ten people on a ski tour each day, and on average, she takes 300 customers on tours through the back country each season. She loves showing off Utahs wilderness. “I love the back country,” she said. “I love the snow science behind it. I love the safety

29、. I just love it.”Along with leading ski tours, Lovci is passionate about anything related to activities. She also runs a bed-and-breakfast in Park City, the Old Town Guest House. As “a jack-of-all -trades”, she also runs Alpine skis, Nordic skis competitively, and snowboards, and leads mountain bik

30、e tours during the summer.Outside Magazine selected five travel guides in various outdoor fields to name as the best in their Best of Travel April issue. Lovci said she was un-expectedly cheerful when she was selected as 2015s Best Ski Guide by Outside Magazine. “We all work really hard in what we d

31、o and we love it and its really nice to get acknowledged,” she said. “I work with a lot of excellent guides and the award could have gone to anybody any one of us. I often recall my ski experiences which were fearful at the beginning, but they helped me achieve a success.”In a news release, Ski Utah

32、 director of communications, Paul Marshall said, “Deb Lovci is one of the most enthusiastic, focused, knowledgeable guides in the industry. Without her as the forefront of our Interconnect Tour we would not have the success we have. She has been an enthusiastic part of the Interconnect Tour for 27 y

33、ears and is thought highly of by our customers.” 51. What among the facts below helped Deb Lovci to be selected as 2015s Best Ski Guide? a. Her great interest in skiing from her childhood. b.

37、f speakers of English in Shakespeares time is estimated to have been about five million. Today it is estimated that some 260 million people speak it as a native language, mainly in the United States, Canada, Great Britain, Ireland, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand. In addition to the standard

38、 varieties of English found in these areas, there are a great many regional and social varieties of the language as well as various levels of usage that are employed both in its spoken and written forms. In fact, it is impossible to estimate the number of people in the world who have acquired an ade

39、quate working knowledge of English in addition to their own languages. The purpose for English learning and the situations in which such learning takes place are so varied that it is difficult to explain and still more difficult to judge what forms an adequate working knowledge for each situation. T

40、he main reason for the widespread demand for English is its present-day importance as a world language. Besides serving the indefinite needs of its native speakers, English is a language in which some of important works in science, technology, and other fields are being produced, and not always by n

41、ative speakers. It is widely used for such purposes as meteorological and airport communications, international conferences, and the spread of information over the radio and television networks of many nations. It is a language of wider communication for a number of developing countries, especially

42、former British colonies. Many of these countries have multilingual populations and need a language for internal communication in such matters as government, commerce, industry, law and education as well as for international communication and for entrance to the scientific and technological developme

43、nts in the West. 56. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. Some 260 million people in the world have an adequate working knowledge of English. B. There are some 260 million native speakers of English in the world. C. It is impossible to estimate the number of people with an adequate worki

44、ng knowledge of English. D. People all around the world learn English for a variety of reasons. 57. According to the passage, what is the main reason for the widespread use of English?A. It was popular during Shakespeares time. B. It is used in former British colonies. C. It serves the needs of its

45、native speakers. D. It is a world language that is used for international communication. 58. What forms an adequate working knowledge of English? A. The ability to read a newspaper. B. It is difficult to judge because it differs for each situation. C. Being a multilingual . D. Being a native speaker

46、. 59. What type of developing countries would be most likely to use English?A. Those geographically close to the United States. B. Those interested in the culture of the United States. C. Former colonies of Great Britain. D. Countries where international conferences are held. 60. What would be the b

47、est title for this passage?A. The Difficulties of Learning English B. International Communications C. The Standard Varieties of English D. English as a World Language CIn modern society there is a great deal of argument about competition. Some value it highly, believing that it is responsible for so

48、cial progress and prosperity. Others say that competition is bad; that it sets one person against another; that it leads to unfriendly relationship between people.I have taught many children who held the belief that their self-worth relied on how well they performed at tennis and other skills. For t

49、hem, playing well and winning are often life-and-death affairs. In their single-minded pursuit of success, the development, of many other human qualities is sadly forgotten. However, while some seem to be lost in the desire to succeed, others take an opposite attitude. In a culture which values only

50、 the winner and pays no attention to the ordinary players, they strongly blame competition. Among the most vocal are youngsters who have suffered under competitive pressures from their parents or society. Teaching these young people, I often observe in them a desire to fail. They seem to seek failur

51、e by not trying to win or achieve success. By not trying, they always have an excuse: “I may have lost, but it doesnt matter because I really didnt try.” What is not usually admitted by themselves is the belief that if they had really tried and lost, that would mean a lot. Such a loss would be a mea

52、sure of their worth. Clearly, this belief is the same as that of the true competitors who try to prove themselves. Both are based on the mistaken belief that ones self-respect relies on how well one performs in comparison with others. Both are afraid of not being valued. Only as this basic and often

53、 troublesome fear begins to dissolve (缓解) can we discover a new meaning in competition. 61. What does this passage mainly talk about? A. Competition helps to set up self-respect. B. Opinions about competition are different among people. C. Competition is harmful to personal quality development. D. F

54、ailures are necessary experiences in competition.62. Why do some people favor competition according to the passage? A. It pushes society forward. B. It builds up a sense of duty. C. It improves personal abilities. D. It encourages individual efforts.63. The underlined phrase “the most vocal” in Para

55、graph 3 means _. A. those who try their best to win B. those who value competition most highly C. those who are against competition most strongly D. those who rely on others most for success64. What is the similar belief of the true competitors and those with a “desire to fail”? A. Ones worth lies i

56、n his performance compared with others. B. Ones success in competition needs great efforts. C. Ones achievement is determined by his particular skills. D. Ones success is based on how hard he has tried.65. Which point of view may the author agree to? A. Every effort should be paid back. B. Competiti

57、on should be encouraged. C. Winning should be a life-and-death matter. D. Fear of failure should be removed in competition.第卷(35分) 请同学们将试题答案填写在答题纸上第三部分：写作 (共三节, 满分35分)第一节：词汇应用 （共10小题；每小题1分, 满分10分）根据下面所给的英文单词、单词词首或释义写出相应的单词的正确形式, 使意思通顺。66.
