Even expert swimmers who are unused to freezing water can drown within minutes because of the physical shock experienced by the body.Pugh says he trained for six months before this swim.This is not the first time that Lewis has swum in dangerous conditions.In2007,he swam one kilometer in the North Pole to draw attention to the melting Arctic ice due to climate change.In2015,he swam in the Bay of Whales in Antarctica’s Ross Sea as part of his successful campaign to help set up a marine reserve there.24.Why did Lewis Pugh swim without a wetsuit?A.To show his bravery.B.To swim faster.C.To build up his body.D.To win public attention.25.What does the underlined word“it”in Paragraph3refer to?A.His body temperature.B.The water.C.The water temperature.D.His body.26.What’s Pugh’s advice about swimming in freezing waters?A.One should be expert at swimming.B.One must be fully prepared for the activity.C.One should be ready to take on challenges.D.One must be used to long-distance swimming.27.What may be the best title for the text?A.Lewis Pugh:swimming for a cause.B.How to survive a swim in cold waters.C.How to prepare for extreme swimming.D.Lewis Pugh:achieving the impossible.CIt is quite reasonable to blame traffic jams,the cost of gas and the great speed of modern life,but manners on the road are being horrible.Everybody knows that the nicest men would be fierce tigers behind the wheel.It is all right to have a tiger in a cage,but to have one in the driver’s seat is another matter altogether.Road politeness is not only good manners,but good sense too.It takes the most cool-headed drivers great patience to give up the desire to beat back when forced to face rude driving.On the other hand,a little politeness goes a long way towards reducing the possibility of quarreling and fighting.A friendly nod or a wave of thanks in answer to an act of politeness helps to create an atmosphere of good will and calm so necessary in modern traffic condition.But such behavior of politeness is by no means enough. Many drivers nowadays don't even seem able to recognize politeness when they see it.However,misplaced politeness can also be dangerous.Typical examples are the driver who waves a child crossing the street at a wrong place into the path of oncoming cars that may be not able to stop in time.The same goes for encouraging old ladies to cross the road wherever and whenever they want to.It always amazes me that the highways are not covered with the dead bodies of these grannies.An experienced driver,whose manners are faultless,told me it would help if drivers learned to correctly join in traffic stream without causing total blockages that give rise to unpleasant feelings. Unfortunately,modern drivers can’t even learn to drive.Years ago,experts warned us that the fast increase of the car ownership would demand more give-and-take from all road users.It is high time for all of us to take this message to heart.28.According to the passage,what caused the troubles on the road?A.Road conditions.B.The large number of cars.C.The speed of modern life.D.The behavior of the drivers.29.In the writer's opinion,___________.A.drivers should avoid traffic jamsB.strict traffic rules are badly neededC.drivers should show road politeness properlyD.unskillful drivers should be punished directly30.What does the underlined word in the last paragraph mean?A.Politeness and impoliteness.B.Good manners and bad manners.C.Offering help to others as much as possible.D.Willingness to give in to each other's wishes.31.What does the passage mainly talk about?A.Traffic problems.B.Road politeness.C.Bad manners on the road.D.Good drivers and bad drivers.DThe coffee giant Starbucks is once again a popular search on the Internet,and there are people who think that coffee is now replacing tea as the most popular drink in China.But,is that really so?Starbucks opened its biggest caféshop in the world in Shanghai this Wednesday.The coffee giant says this will not only give customers the usual great coffee,but also give them the full experience of how the magical coffee beans get roasted to become those wonderful drops that make up their favorite drinks. It is like the Willy Wonka factory for coffee lovers.The company is expanding aggressively,and opening a new store every15hours on average in China.China has very rich and splendid tea culture.What seems like the most enjoyable thing is to drink a cup of tea on a quiet day that is full of“Zen”(禅)spirit.But the fast-pace of life sometimes doesn’t allow that.So there are tea shop owners locating their shops in the downtown area in order to provide quick service for customers.Take Heytea for example.It’s one of the most highly rated tea shops and it has now opened several new branches in the business areas of big cities like Beijing.Waiting in lines for longer than one hour is common.China’s consumption of tea is immeasurable.According to a research of USC Institute,in China,the average person consumes400cups of tea per year.So it is unlikely that coffee can replace tea as the country’s main drink any time soon.The expanding coffee shops are not there to replace tea,but to provide people with another choice that they can use to enjoy life.32.What is function of the first paragraph?A.To present the author's argument.B.To summarize the whole passage.C.To introduce the topic of the passage.D.To inform the readers of the latest news.33.What can we learn about Starbucks from the passage?A.Starbucks supplies the world with the best-tasting coffee.B.Starbucks can only be seen in the downtown area of a city.C.Starbucks holds a certain share of Chinese drinking market.D.The shop opened in Shanghai simply works as a drinking place.34.What can be concluded from the third paragraph?A.Tea culture is rooted in the hearts of Chinese citizens.B.Tea consumption holds the largest share of world drinking market.C.The enjoyment of tea drinking can only be experienced in a quiet place.D.The fast pace of modern life makes tea drinking no longer pleasant in China.35.What is the author's attitude to coffee and tea in China?A.Concerned.B.Ambiguous.C.Favorable.D.Negative.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
