AI’ve often wondered if I might do more good as a travel agent rather than as a psychologist. It seems that I have been more dramatically affected by certain kinds of travel experiences than I ever have. My trip to Iceland is a fine example of that. The plan was to spend two days in a remote mountain hut in Iceland. I was working on a photographic book about winter in Iceland and needed to capture images of this amazing region of high mountain peaks, smoky volcanoes, and lakes with floating icebergs.The moment after we arrived, the weather turned extreme making visibility impossible. It snowed so much and the wind blew so hard that we couldn’t leave the tiny hut. To stay warm, we walked around in circles much of the day inside the tiny hut. We tried to call for help but the radio did not work. Day after day, we watched our supplies of food and fuel grow dangerously short. We got acute cabin fever (幽居病) and started going for walks and ski expeditions outside. Even when the weather finally broke, nobody came to get us even though it was three days beyond our scheduled pickup. Bythe time the rescue team came to pull us out, we had all given up hope.From then on, the world looks different to me, as does my life. It would have taken me years of psychotherapy to get to the same point.Almost everyone has a story to tell, and interestingly, most of these experiences were not altogether pleasant at the time. In fact, it appears that the most constructive life-changing journeys were those that involved some sorts of awful and uncomfortable events that forced the person to develop new resources, increase confidence, and solve problems in new ways.21. The writer went to Iceland to ______.A. enjoy the natural beautiful floating icebergsB. take photos about the region for a bookC. collect materials for psychological researchD. challenge the high mountains there22. During the trip in Iceland, those travelers faced difficulties EXCEPT that ______.A. they got lost in the mountainB. they were short of food and fuelC. they couldn’t see the surroundings clearlyD. they failed to get in touch with the rescue team23. From Paragraph 3, we learn that the travelers ______.A. were in despair before they were rescuedB. stayed in the hut for three days altogetherC. got sick because of going for ski outsideD. got rescued immediately the weather turned fine24. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. The writer is a travel agent who loves difficult challenges.B. In Iceland the weather is always extreme and it snows a lot.C. The travellers were so depressed that they needed psychotherapy.D. Awful journeys may become life-changing events that inspire people.BOne of India’s top engineering schools has restricted Internet access in its boarding houses, saying addiction to surfing, gaming and blogging was affecting students’performance, making them lonely and even suicidal.Authorities at the best Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) in Mumbai said students had stopped socializing and many were late for morning classes or slept through them. “Now, a student doesn’t even know who lives two doors away from him because he is sobusy on the Internet,”said Prakash Gopalan, dean of Student Affairs. “The old dormitory culture of companionship and socializing among students is gone. This is not healthy in our opinion.”IITMumbai, with about 5,000 students, is one of the seven IITs across India which are considered to be among the finest engineering schools in the world. They are also a talent pool for global technology giants. But their hard courses, tough competition and lonely campus lifestyle have taken an effect on students. Depressive and dysfunctional lifestyles are known to be common among IIT students, and at least nine have committed suicide in the past five years. Students have unlimited free Internet access in their boarding houses to help them in their studies, but many also use it to surf, chat, download movies and music, blog and for gaming.“Starting Monday, Internet access will be banned between 11 p.m. and 12:30 p.m. at IITMumbai’s 13 boarding buildings to encourage students to sleep early and to try and force them out of their shells.”Gopalan said. But the move has not gone down well with students who say they hate their lives being regulated. “Now they will say we need to listen to a lullaby (摇篮曲) to go to sleep.”said Rajiv, an electronics student.25. According to the text, the students addicted to the Internet inIIT-Mumbai are likely to ______.A. perform well in studiesB. participate in social activitiesC. know their classmates betterD. feel lonely and even suicidal26. The underlined word “dysfunctional”in Paragraph 3 most probably means “______”.A. unpopularB. meaningfulC. abnormalD. exciting27. What measures have been taken in IITMumbai?A. Students must go to bed before 11 p.m.B. Students are forbidden to surf the Internet on campus.C. Students have unlimited free Internet access in their dormitories.D. Internet access is unavailable in deep night in boarding buildings.28. We may infer from the last paragraph that ______.A. all electronics students hate the banning orderB. some students complain about the banning orderC. there is no Internet access on the IIT campus ever sinceD. more students prefer listening to music to surfing the InternetCWell, parents, surprise! Lots of us are using Twitter and Facebook to thumb rides, and not just to school. It’s awkward to be refused when you call a friend and ask for a ride. But with Twitter, you just look for other people heading the same way.It may sound risky, so many teens stay within their own social circles to find rides, and don’t branch out beyond friends when asking on Twitter just like me, but to some young people, especially those taking longer trips, stranger danger is less of a concern.“I think the digital connection of young people is really key, because younger generations grew up sharing things on line, sharing files, photos, music, etc, so they’ve been very used to sharing,”said Juliet Schor, a sociology professor at Boston College.The sharing economy got big during the recession (经济衰退), allowing people to access more goods, services using technology and even to share costs. And that technology, for me, is what the car was for my mom, a gateway to more freedom, like what my friend Earl says, “The symbol of freedom isn’t the car any more because there’s technology out there connecting you to a car.”According to the researchers at the University of Michigan, 30 years ago, eight in ten American 18-year-olds had a driver’s license compared to six in ten today. So it’s not that surprising that on my 16th birthday I wasn’t rushing to get a license but an iPhone. “Driving, for young people, does mean they have to disconnect from their technology, and that’s a negative. So if they could sit in the passage side and still be connected, that’s going to be a plus.”Schor continued.To me, another plus is that ridesharing represents something, something much bigger than trying to save money. I see it as evidence that people still depend on each other. My generation shares their cars and apartments the way neighbors used to share cups of sugar. For the system to work, some of us still need our own cars. But until I get my own version of the silver Super Beetle, you can find me on Twitter.29. The American teens like me, prefer to possess an iPhone as a birthday gift because _______.A. it is most fashionable and coolB. they are bored with driving carsC. they are fond of being connectedD. it is much cheaper thana car30. We can learn from the text that _______.A. Twitter is a website for teens to make friends and achieve goalsB. ridesharing can be seen as a sign that people still count on each otherC. driving cars for teens means a plus and connecting with technologyD. having a car and cost-sharing symbolize more freedom for the author’s mother31. Professor Juliet would agree that _______.A. young people will sit waiting to be contacted by reading a passageB. sharing economy is bound to be responsible for the recessionC. young people tend to share a car with strangers by means of TwitterD. being connected via technology comes first for young people32. The best title for the passage is probably _______.A. Twitter, an Awesome WebsiteB. Cars or iPhoneC. Teens Use Twitter to Thumb RidesD. Cool Teens on the Go DNews that Microsoft made a $44.6 billion bid to buy Yahoo resulted in heated discussions made by many Internet users. Here are some responses:Diane Burke of Weeksbury, KentuckyI think it would definitely be an interesting combination. Everyone recognizes the names Yahoo and Microsoft, but everyone also says, “Did you Google it?”Such a catchphrase (时髦话) is going to be hard to beat.Shaun Carney of Laurelville, OhioI think the merger (合并) will provide more competitions for Google.I don’t think the merger will allow Microsoft to develop faster thanGoogle, though. I believe the increased competition this merger brings will force Google to stay on top of its game by offering more fresh and original Internet tools and expanding on the tools it already offers.Toni Suarez of Hacienda Heights, CaliforniaI view the merger as a necessary element in preventing a monopolization (垄断). Perhaps it would bring better high technology innovations to e-mail and help in researching and developing a better Internet!Rick R. of Edgewater, FloridaIt sounds like a disaster to me. If this were to happen, I would stop using my Yahoo e-mail account because I don’t like the feeling of Microsoft spying upon my business. I will sign up for Google. Antonio Glosser of Kansas City, MissouriRight now, Yahoo offers a lot of features and tools at no cost for all different levels of Internet users. Microsoft seeks nothing but profit. Undoubtedly, they’ll do nothing other than find ways to start removing Yahoo’s formerly non-priced features. Microsoft’s greed will ruin the great thing that Yahoo currently is.33. How many companies are mentioned in the passage?A. One.B. Two.C. Three.D. Four.34. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to thepassage?A. Shaun’s attitude towards Google is passive.B. Toni believes the Internet will have a promising future.C. Rick will support Google after the merger.D. Antonio is afraid that the merger will cost Yahoo’s free features.35. The passage is mainly about ______.A. opinions on the merger of Yahoo and MicrosoftB. the strengths of Yahoo and MicrosoftC. the strengths and weaknesses of large companiesD. the future of Yahoo and Microsoft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。
