10、he Alberta-British Columbia border and are inside two huge national parks Banff to the south and Jasper to the north. Banff was Canadas first wildlife reserve and these days the town of Banff is the most popular tourist destination in the country. But Jasper National Park is larger, wilder, and less

11、 well-explored. Between the parks of Banff and Jasper is the Columbia Icefield, a huge bowl of ice made up of about thirty glaciers. If you dont like ice, the Rockies offer wildlife walks, swimming, camping, hiking, canoeing, mountain climbing, and plenty of places to stay. Accommodation costs（住宿费）a

It is a beautiful little shipbuilding town and a UNESCO World Heritage site. Fishing has always been big in Lunenbu

13、rg: most of Atlantic Canadas deep-sea fishing boats leave from here, and North Americas biggest fish-processing factory is located in the town. Lunenburg still has many wooden buildings and as a result feels like an 18th century British colonial（殖民时期的）town. You can visit the towns Fisheries Museum o

Churchill is a major port, but eco-tourism is becoming more and more im

15、portant. Although it is freezing, many visitors come to see the polar bears, whales, Arctic foxes, and if they are lucky, the Northern Lights. Churchill calls itself the “Polar Bear Capital of the World, and for a good reason: the town sits right in the middle of the animals* migration route, and th

18、(升空)on vision before, but this one was special. It was Apollo 11. The astronauts were headed for the Moon . just to orbit, as Apollo 8 and Apollo 10 had done a few months earlier. This time, people would actually walk onit!I had a hard time getting through the next three days until Apollo 11 reached

19、 the Moon. I was glued to the television. Finally, Sunday morning arrived. After eating dinner, my family gathered in the living room. Our new television offered the best picture of the upcoming events. Luckily, had read many books on space flight. I was familiar with the technical phrases, being di

20、scussed between Mission Control Center and the astronauts.,Then, we heard the countdown to the undocking（出舱）of the Eagle, the Lunar Module （LM）, from the Columbia, the Command and Service Module. None of us paid much attention to the background chatter. If we had, we would have realized that the des

21、cent（降落）was not going well. A loud master alarm kept sounding inside the LM. If it continued, the astronauts would have to stop the descent. But in our excitement, we didnt realize what was happening. Then we saw that the astronauts had reached the Moon. We all gave a loud cheer when Armstrong said

22、his famous words as the LM touched down: Houston, Tranquility Base here. The Eagle has landed.Even though I was only eight years old, I sensed the importance of that moment. Looking back at it, I feel a little sad that there has been nothing quite like that since. But we have our sight set on Mars n

23、ow. To get to Mars, we will need to visit the Moon again. That excites me. Id love to see another moonwalk. I hope that kids will watch, as I did, the images（影像）of humans on another planet. Perhaps the next moonwalkers will change the lives of those viewers, as Armstrong and Aldrin changed my life 5

A goal of visiting Mars.C Cooperation at work is generally seen as a good thing. The latest survey by the Financial Times of wha

26、t employers want from MBA graduates found that the ability to work with a wide variety of people was what managers wanted most. But managers always have to balance the benefits of teamwork, which help ensure that everyone is working towards the same goal, with the dangers of “groupthink” when critic

27、s are reluctant to point out a plans drawbacks for fear of being kept out of the group. The disastrous Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba in 1961 was a classic case of groupthink. Skeptics were reluctant to challenge John F. Kennedy,the newly elected American president. Modern communication methods mean t

28、hat cooperation is more frequent. Workers are constantly in touch with each other via e-mail messaging groups or mobile calls. But does that improve,or lower performance? A new study by three American academics,tried to answer this question. They set a logical problem (designing the shortest route f

29、or a travelling salesman visiting various cities). Three groups were involved:one where subjects acted independently;another where they saw the solutions posted by team members at every stage;and a third where they were kept informed of each others views only intermittently. The survey found that me

30、mbers of the individualist group reached the premier(最先的) solution more often than the constant cooperators but had a poorer average result.The intermittent cooperatorsfound the right result as often as the individualists,and got a better average solution. When it comes to ideal generation,giving pe

31、ople a bit of space to a solution seems to be a good idea. Occasional cooperation can be a big help: most people have benefited from a colleagues brainwave or (just as often) wise advice to avoid a particular course of action. Further clues come from a book,Superminds, by Thomas Malone of the Massac

32、husetts Institute of Technology. He says that three factors determine the collective intelligence of cooperating groups: social intelligence (how good people were at rating the emotional states of others);the extent to which members took part equally in conversation (the more equal,the better);and t

33、he cooperation of women in the group (the higher, the better). Groups ranked highly in these areas cooperated far better than others. In short,cooperation may be a useful tool but it doesnt work in every situation.27. The author cites the example of The Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba in paragraph 1 to

34、 _.A .prove that team players are skilled at communicationB .show that teamwork cannot always be beneficialC .prove that critics are unwilling to challenge anybodyD .show the danger of groupthink is not very serious28. The underlined phrase “the intermittent cooperators” in paragraph 3 refers to _.A

35、 .those who do not cooperate but reach the best solutionB .those who are seldom informed of others viewsC .those who cooperate with others occasionallyD .the constant cooperators with a poor average result29. Which of the following factors makes a team cooperate better?A .Group members cooperating a

36、ll the time.B .Group members in a good emotional state.C .Equal distribution of men and women.D .Equal participation in the communication.30. Which can be the best title of the passage?A .When Teamwork Works B .What Teamwork Is AboutC .How Teamwork Operates D .A Useful Tool:CooperationD It is that t

37、ime of the year again. Up and down the country, thousands of students stay in the library, attempting to cram（死记硬背）the information necessary to get through finals. I am one of them a Cambridge finalist, attempting to deal with the Oxbridge stress in the only way I know: caffeine hits and reclusion（隐

38、遁生活）. Whether you love or hate Oxbridge, the fact that these two universities provide unique learning environments is something of a double-edged sword. On the one hand, students have access to some of the best education in the world; on the other hand, the pressure that comes with this can prove da

39、maging to them and cantbe swept under the carpetfor they have to face it eventually.Many Cambridge students find themselves trapped in a pressure of expectation, whether this comes from their supervisors or tutors, their director of studies or even from themselves. The drive towards achievement is e

40、ither the key to success or to possible serious personal issues, as Mark Phippen, head of the University of Cambridges Counseling Service said, “There are plenty of perfectionists in Cambridge, but it can work two ways: it can push them to accomplish and to achieve, or it can get out of hand, disabl

41、ing them.”Many students say that they cant handle it any more while working in certain libraries which are filled with other students hard at work. The competition and paranoia（多疑） are more common than what we realize or question: you can feel as if you are being judged for how much time you spend o

42、n Facebook or YouTube, or how little time you spend reading.Too many students feel almost frustrated by the pressure to achieve but feel unable to speak about it. As everyone seems to be coping, they must also pretend to cope too. The only thing students have: tutors and supervisors regularly encour

43、age students to avoid extracurricular activities, urging them to focus on their studies to such an extent that many find it hard to handle it. One current Cambridge tutor has been known for checking up on the activities of students involved in extracurricular theatre by searching for them on the web

44、site, which details who is involved in certain plays each term just in case it affects the students work output.Problems arise when the pressure produces mental health issues. Problems have been brought to attention in articles primarily from Oxfords Cherwell and Cambridges The Tab. The attention ha

45、s made the Cambridge University Student Union set up Students Deserve Better a campaign to handle complaints about supervisors and tutors lacking the ability to provide proper spiritual support. “When I told my supervisor about my problems with anxiety and therefore about my worries surrounding the

46、workload she was suggesting, she said that I would probably feel less anxious once the work was done,” a finalist student called Jane said. “It shouldnt be an accepted response in one of the worlds best universities. Their responses only worsened any feelings I had concerning my final year.”Phippen

47、said, “At this point the exams seem like the most important thing in the world. However, two years down the line youll realize that the exams you did at university arent very important at all, as what then becomes more important is what you have done within those two years afterwards. Finalist exams

48、 can become depressing for students studying at any university. All you must remember is that you are not alone and you are good enough, and that a few years down the line, your ability to recount the plots of Euripides nineteen plays will no longer matter. So why worry?”31.The underlined part “be s

49、wept under the carpet” in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to “”.A.be covered up B.be dealt with C.be given up D.be figured out32.Whats Mark Phippens attitude towards the pressure put on the students at Oxbridge?A.Critical. B.Doubtful. C.Against D.Unclear.33.What can we know from Paragraph 4?A.Extr

50、acurricular activities fail to appeal to most students.B.Some tutors and supervisors push their students too hard.C.There is a lack of communication between students and their supervisors.D.Some students dont speak about the pressure because they think they can handle it.34.What Jane said in Paragra

51、ph 5 suggests that she.A.didnt get her problems across to her supervisorB.had expected better spiritual guidance from her tutorsC.was dissatisfied with her supervisors delayed responsesD.was glad that Students Deserve Better was set up to help students like her35.Which of the following would be the

52、best title for this passage?A.Oxbridge pressure: the key to students achievementsB.Oxbridge finals: the toughest exams in the countryC.Oxbridge graduates: the strongest competitors in the job marketD.Oxbridge success: the result of teacher-student interaction第二节 七选五（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）根据短文内容，从短文后的

It is often very hard to think positive when so many things are negative,but be sure that someone,somewhere is worse off than you._37_If you start with one small,positive thing and appreciate it during the course of your day,you wi
