AWaldseilgarten is an adventure mountain holiday center that offers guests a thrilling night in the wilderness. Nestled at the top of a mountain, daring guests can spend the night hanging off the tree tops, or over a cliff face.During the warmer months, the center hosts adventure nights out, where guests can sleep in their own portaledge, hanging several meters above the ground. A portaledge is a hanging tent system that is generally used by rock climbers on climbs. At Waldseilgarten, the tents are hung from thick branches of large free-standing trees, where guests can only ascend or descend with rope assistance.Guests looking for more air and an extreme camping experience can choose to sleep on an overhanging platform, positioned among huge cliff faces measuring between 1000 and 2000 meters h igh. However, if that’s just a little too extreme, the resort also offers easier sleeping options, including cliff platforms between 100 and 300 meters high, or tree platforms between two or four trees, with easy ways to the ground at any time.All guests partaking in an adventure night out will receive rope climbing training before spending a night in nature. Trained staff teach simple rope climbing techniques, and other useful skills for hiking and rock climbing.Waldseilgarten seems to offer a camping experience you will definitely remember, however, that experience doesn’t come cheap. A night sleeping in the trees in a portaledge will set you back $336 per person, while the cliff face ledges go for $1199. The cheapest option is the tree platforms, at $168 per person per night.21. One of the activities at Waldseilgarten is ______.A. to sleep in the wildB. to make portaledgesC. to hang off the tree topsD. to climb across a cliff face22. The underlined words “ascend or descend” most probably mean “______”.A. go back and forthB. turn over and overC. climb up and downD. move here and there23. Waldseilgarten is trying to be ______.A. impressiveB. honestC. encouragingD. friendly24. What is the main purpose of the text?A. To advertise WaldseilgartenB. To introduce a holiday center.C. To call on people to love nature.D. To describe a wonderful place for adventure.BArchitecture and urban design are struggling for a green fever dream: Everywhere you look, there are plans for sustainable（可持续发展）buildings and eco-cities.This year, the dreamers’goal is even bigger: "eco-cities" going beyond the last century's development patterns and delivering us to a low-carbon, greenfuture in stylish comfort. In part, the dream reflects a push for energy efficiency, recycled materials and lower carbon emissions（排放）．The dream also includes an effort to turn buildings green by covering them in plants. Green roofs appear on Wal-Marts, and green walls appear on hotels，banks，museums-even at the mall.All of this is surely a good idea, at some level. But today's green urban dream is too often about bringing a technologically controlled version of nature into the city and declaring the problem solved, rather than looking at the deeper causes of our current environmental and urban discontents.Today's signature eco-building, Apple’s "spaceship" campus now under construction in Silicon Valley, is a good example of the shortcomings of the green dream. Though said to be sustainable and energy eff icient, it is by any measure a complex, massively resource-intensive（密集的）and expensive building, achievable only by one o f the richest corporations on Earth.Projects like this are really the fulfillment of a set of blue-sky dreams. In the end, those dreams are about leaving Earth itself behind for an engineered habitat, in the sky or at least on the roof.Instead of making "nature" into a feature of eco-cities, architects and planners must work to design better relationships between our cities and nature, and to promote just relationships between the people in them. This year's Pritzker Prize winner, the Chilean architect Alejandro Aravena, is a case in point. He is less interested in making technologically impressive buildings than in co-operating with residents themselves to design low-cost, efficient housing solutions for the urban working class, especially in the wake of natural disasters. It is a more productive path forward than growing plants on tall buildings.25．What's the dreamers’goal this year?A. To create a green future in fashionable ways.B ．To change the former development patterns．C ．To build sustainable and bigger eco-cities.D ．To provide people with low-carbon action plans．26．What can we know about Apple’s "spac eship" campus?A. It's an eco-building with signatur es.B ．Its construction has been completed.C ．It consumes lots of money and resources.D ．It's the best example of the urban green dream.27. What's the tone of the text?A. Humorous.B. Serious.C. DepressingD. Optimistic28．Which statement may Alejandro Aravena agree with?A. Disaster-proof buildings are worth any cost.B ．Architects should create user-friendly buildings．C ．Growing plants on tall buildings is really practical.D. A technologically controlled version of nature is a must.CThey may have text, email, Facebook and Twitter, but young people are still lonelier than any other age group. The Loneliness in New Zealand report, published by Statistics New Zealand, shows under 30s are more likely to feellonely than older people because loneliness decreases with age. Loneliness and poor mental health were strongly related across all ages. Young people were not as likely to feel lonely because of financial hardship, but among older people, lack of money was a significant influence on loneliness. Women were more likely to feel lonely than men.Philip Walker, spokesman for the General Social Survey, said because it was relatively new, it was hard to know whether loneliness among young people was a new trend. But overseas research had found that levels of loneliness in youth today are growing.Mr. Walker said the finding needed more exploration, including looking at the role of techno logy and social media. “It could be that people’s expectations of connection have gone up, so we expect increased levels of connection,” he said. “While technology like cell phones could help young people stay connected, on the other hand for those who do get bullied, especially bullied online, it’s quite isolating. A lot of the time potentially it is a big contributor to loneliness.”Figures from online dating website “Find someone” also confirmed more young people were looking for love. Manager Rick Davies, said younger dating hopefuls were the fastest growing group on the site.Mr. Davies noted that since the report data was collected in 2010, there had been huge growth in smart phones, which meant people were online even more. He believed online tools, such as Skype, could help people stay connected. “People can keep in touch with a wide range of friends from all over the world much more easily now. It’s like you’re sitting in your living room having a chat with them.”Bemardine Reid, operations committee chairwoman for Samaritans, which operates a free helpline, said many of their calls came from people who were lonely. “It might be that they’ve got some problem, just like all the things people would normally talk to a friend about, but people who are alone lack those normal contacts.”The Statistics New Zealand report also showed people who didn’t have face-to-face contact with family and friends were more likely to feel lonely, as were those who lived alone.29．Which of the following may Mr. Walker agree with?A．High technology may become a reason for loneliness.B．Social media should play an important role in helping lonely people.C．It’s hard for people to get enough connection online as expected.D．People shouldn’t use th e Internet to get to know strangers.30．It can be inferred from the passage that ________．A．high technology results in the older being lonelyB．“Find someone” is a website where you can find old fr iendsC．without technology, young people would not feel lonelyD．those cheated or hurt online tend to feel lonely31．Form the last two paragraphs, we can conclude that___________.A．people living alone have more connection onlineB．people chatting a lot online tend to be optimisticC．people communicating less in the real world risk lonelinessD．Internet can keep people free from loneliness32．What is the best title of the passage?A．Young people online．B．Loneliness around you．C．Technology and young people．D．Young but lonely．DWould it surprise you to learn that, like animals, trees communicate with each other and pass on their wealth to the next generation?UBC Professor Simard explains how tr ees are much more complex than most of us ever imagined. Although Charles Darwin thought that trees are competing for survival of the fittest, Simard shows just how wrong he was. In fact, the opposite is true: trees survive through their co-operation and support, passing around necessary nutrition "depending on who needs it".Nitrogen (氮) and carbon are shared through miles of underground fungi (真菌) networks, making sure that all trees in the forest ecological system give and receive just the right amount to keep them all healthy. This hidden system works in a very similar way to the networks of neurons (神经元) in our brains, and when one tree is destroyed, it affects all.Simard talks about "mother trees", usually the largest and oldest plants on which all other trees depend. She e xplains how dying trees pass on the wealth to the next generation, transporting important minerals to young trees so they may continue to grow. When humans cut down "mother trees" with no awareness of these highly complex "tree societies" or the networks on which they feed, we are reducing the chances of survival for the entire forest."We didn't take any notice of it" Simard says sadly. "Dying trees move nutrition into the young trees before dying, but we never give them chance." If we could put across the message to the forestry industry, we could make a huge difference towards our environmental protection efforts for the future.33.The underlined sentence "the opposite is true" in Paragraph 2 probably means that trees .A．compete for survival B．protect their own wealthC．depend on each other D．provide support for dying trees34:The underlined word "it" in the last paragraph refers to .A．how "tree societies" work B．how trees grow oldC．how forestry industry develops D．how young trees survive35.What would be the best title for the passage?A．Old Trees Communicate Like HumansB．Young Trees Are In Need Of ProtectionC．Trees Are More Awesome Than You ThinkD．Trees Contribute To Our Society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。
