Take to the water on one of three magnificent daily harbor cruises(游船). You can also travel free on regular Sydney Buses, Sydney Ferries or City Rail services (limited area), so you can go to every corner of this beautiful city. Imagine browsing at Darling Harbor, sampling the famous seafood at Watsons Bay or enjoying the city lights on an evening ferry cruise. The possibilities and plans are endless with a Sydney Pass. Wherever you decide to go, remember that bookings are not required on any of our services so tickets are treated on a first in, first seated basis. Sydney Passes are available for 3, 5 or 7 days for use over a 7 calendar day period. With a 3 or 5 day pass you choose on which days out of the 7 you want to use it. All Sydney Passes include a free Airport Express inward trip before starting your 3, 5 or 7 days, and the return trip is valid for 2 months from the first day your ticket was used. Adult Child Family 3 day ticket $90 $45 $225 5 day ticket $120 $60 $300 7 day ticket $140 $70 $350 Sydney Pass Fares *A child is defined as anyone from the ages of 4 years to under 16 years. Children under 4 years travel free. **A family is defined as 2 adults and any number of children from 4 to under 16 years of age from the same family. 56. A Sydney Pass doesn’t offer unlimited rides on __________. A. the Explorer Buses B. the harbor cruises C. regular Sydney Buses D. City Rail services 57. With a Sydney Pass, a traveler can __________. A. save fares from and to the airport B. take the Sydney Explorer to beaches C. enjoy the famous seafood for free D. reserve seats easily in a restaurant 58. If 5-day tickets were to be recommended to a mother who travelled with her colleague and her children, aged 3, 6 and 10, what would the lowest cost be? A. $225 B. $300 C. $360 D. $420 B Scientists have long wondered what benefit zebras might get from their fancy black-and-white coats. Those stripes(条纹) may be most useful as protection from biting flies, a recent study concludes. Biologists studied zebras and other closely related African animals. They tested five popular ideas about how the stripes might function. No evidence emerged to support most of these notions, Tim Caro told Science News. As a wildlife biologist, he works at the University of California, Davis. ① . Some scientists had proposed those stripes help zebras hide from predators, such as lions, or confuse them. Still others suggested that those stripes might offer some cooling or help the animals in forming social groups. ② . Instead, the stripes appear to help the animals avoid the bite of bloodthirsty flies. This finding supports some studies had found signs that flies prefer solids to stripes when hunting for a landing place. ③ . To test all of the theories, Caro’s group used geographic information. They looked at where in Africa the 20 different types of animals belonging to the genus (类别) equus lived. Some of these equines(马科动物) have stripes, including zebras and asses(驴) with striped legs. Others are stripe-free. These include other asses and wild horses. The scientists found no connection between stripes and whether the animals lived in woodsy areas. That suggests stripes don’t camouflage(伪装) zebras in those places. The scientists also saw no link between where striped animals lived and where lions hunted. In the studies, researchers found that lions ate plenty of zebras. The new observations suggest stripes don’t confuse the predators. The experts also looked for---and found---no evidence that stripes cool the zebras or help them recognize each another when forming social groups. ④ . Striped animals often live in places where the environment is just right much of the year for biting flies to flourish. In those areas, horseflies, tsetse flies and other biting flies spread fatal diseases to zebras and horses. That connection now suggests stripes may help zebras reduce the number of bites and the infections they can spread. The study doesn’t answer how the zebra got its stripes in the first place, Caro admits. Science may never know. Inns Cuthill is a biologist at England’s University of Bristol. He finds the new study “convincing”. Until now, Cuthill’s favorite hypothesis had been that zebra stripes confused predators. It’s too soon to say the mystery of the zebra’s stripes has been solved, he notes. But he says that keeping flies away is now probably “the leading contender”. 59. According to the recent study, the stripes in zebras may be used to __________. A. offer some cooling when it is hot B. help them hide from or confuse predators C. protect themselves from being bitten by flies D. help them in forming social groups 60. The missing sentence “None of those ideas make sense.” can be put in __________. A. ① B. ② C. ③ D. ④ 61. It can be inferred from the passage that __________. A. the study answers how the zebra got its stripes B. flies prefer solids to stripes when seeking a landing place C. Cuthill now tends to believe the new theory D. the mystery of the zebra’s stripes will be solved soon 62. Which of the following can best serve as the title of this passage? A. One Plus to Wearing Stripes B. How Does Zebra Get Stripes C. Mystery Solved D. Zebra’s Stripes C Phantom vibrations──the phenomenon where you think your phone is vibrating but it’s not──have been around since the mobile age. Today, they’re so common that researchers have devoted studies to them. For Valerie Kusler, who works on a cattle farm, the feeling is complicated by the cows. “The cows’ moo is very muffled, it kind of sounds like…errrrrr,” she says, “So that’s very similar to what my phone sounds like when it vibrates on my desk or in my purse.” Other people may not confuse cows for their phones, but research shows phantom vibration symptom is a near-universal experience for people with smartphones. Nearly 90 percent of college undergraduates in a 2014 study said they felt phantom vibrations. The number was just as high for a survey of hospital workers, who reported feeling phantom vibrations on either a weekly or monthly basis. “Something in your brain is being triggered(触发) that’s different than what was triggered just a few short years ago,” says Dr Larry Rosen, a research psychologist who studies how technology affects our minds. “If you’d asked me 10 years ago, or maybe even five years ago, if I felt an itch beneath where my pocket of my jeans was, and asked me what I would do, I’d reach down and scratch it because it was probably a little itch caused by the neurons firing(神经元刺激),” he says. Now, of course, the itch triggers him to reach for his phone. Rosen says it’s an example of how our devices are changing how our brains process information. “We’re seeing a lot of what looks like obsessive behavior. People who are constantly picking up their phone look like they have an obsession. They don’t look much different from someone who’s constantly washing their hands. I’m not saying that it is an obsession, but I’m saying that it could turn into one, very easily,” Rosen says. While 9 out of 10 participants in the study of college students said the vibration feeling bothered them only a little or not at all, Rosen still recommends backing away from our phones every once in a while to keep our anxiety levels down. “One of the things I’m really adamant about in spite of being very pro-technology, is just away from the technology for short periods,” Rosen says, “And by short periods, I mean; maybe just 30 minutes or an hour.” 63. According to the article, phantom vibrations __________. A. are mainly caused by neurons firing B. affect people mostly working on farms C. help our brains better process information D. have started troubling people in recent years 64. The underlined word “adamant” in the last paragraph probably means __________. A. curious B. determined C. satisfied D. cautious 65. It can be concluded from Larry Rosen’s research that __________. A. phantom vibrations could probably result in obsessive behavior B. the use of smartphones has completely changed the way our minds work C. most people feel uncomfortable when they experience phantom vibrations D. hospital workers are more likely to suffer from phantom vibrations than students 66. According to Larry Rosen, the most effective measure against phantom vibrations is to __________. A. move to a quieter neighborhood B. stop using smartphones in poor condition C. take a break from using smartphones occasionally D. keep a close watch on your anxiety levels D “I’m going home tomorrow,” Michael announced. It was the first time he had talked with Bert Hensley since their argument that morning. He wanted his father to say that he couldn’t go, that he wouldn’t let him run away. To say that running was no way for a man to live. But he replied only, “I figured that’s what you’d want.” Michael began to pack his suitcase. It took only a few more minutes to finish his packing. When Michael finally spoke, his voice was too loud in the small space. “Why’d you invite me?” He asked, “Why’d you call after so many years?” His father answered without looking at Michael. “I thought it was time,” he said. “Time for what?” Michael persisted. “I guess we’ve let one another down pretty badly in the last couple of days, haven’t we?” his father said. “Cil warned me,” he continued, “She said I ought to think about it more before I called about what I was trying to do, going back into your life that way. She said it wasn’t fair, I letting some other man raise my son through all those years and then trying to take him back, just when he was getting to be a man.” A man? Michael almost laughed. “I don’t know if you’ll understand any of this. You’re pretty young.” His father went silent, as though there was nothing more to say. Michael leaned across the table. “Try me,” he spoke quietly, but it was almost a command. His father flashed him a surprised look. “Well, “he said at last, “my life was beginning to feel... sort of temporary, I guess you could say. When you finish a run on the river, it’s done. You know? So I guess I found myself thinking about you. A lot. Not just now and then the way I used to.” Not just now and then! Michael felt rather disappointed. So during all the years he had carried this man in his heart, constantly, day and night──all the “conversations” they’d had──Bert Hensley hadn’t been thinking of him equally. Only now and then! And now you know, Michael thought. And it doesn’t help, does it? He stood, but then he realized there was no place to go. “Michael,” his father said finally, “You don’t have to go, you know,” his father said as Michael settled his suitcase into the back seat of Cil’s car. Michael looked at his father helplessly. They both knew that he did. What good did it do to start pretending now? Not that thing would be any better back in Minnesota. Just that it was impossible to stay on here. “I guess they need me at home,” Michael said. “There are always lots to do in the summer.” “Don’t let the old man work too hard, Mike.” His father added, trying on a chuckle(轻声地笑) that slipped immediately away. The old man, the man his father had given him over to and then tried to take him back again. Even now, Michael thought, you could ask me to stay. That might make a difference, if you asked like you really mean it. But his father didn’t ask; Michael had known he wouldn’t. They shook hands before Michael climbed into the car. Like two men. Like two frightened men. 67. After all of what had happened Michael still hoped his father could __________. A. apologize for what he had done B. support his decision C. go home with him D. ask him to stay 68. Why did Michael feel disappointed with his father? A. His father abandoned him after he was born. B. His father went back into his life all of a sudden. C. His father never thought of him as the way he did. D. His father said he was too young to understand all of this. 69. The characteristic of the father can be described as __________. A. responsible B. insincere C. caring D. stubborn 70. Which of the following statements is TRUE? A. When the father said “You don’t have to go”, he meant it. B. The father never regretted having tried to take his son back. C. Michael probably wouldn’t go back to his father again. D. The old man was hard on Michael. 第II卷(四部分 共45分） 第四部分 任务型阅读 (共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分） 请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。注意：每个空格只填1个单词。请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上。 Learning About Different Cultures Most of us live in a multicultural surroundings these days. Culture can bring us together, but it can also be a cause of division. How does our own culture affect the way we view others? What steps can we take to minimize problems? Once my friend, who is of Greek origin, went to Sweden on business. He was sent by the head office in the US to introduce a new computer program to their branch office in Sweden. This newly created software would cut production cost in half and speed up the time from planning to production by 30 percent, as well as make the finished product look better. After presenting this program to the managers and directors, he waited for their feedback. At first it was quiet. Then, the general manager said, “Hmm, this looks good.” in a flat voice. “Hmm, I agree,” said another. My friend was in shock. Later on, when he told this to me, he said, “My mother used expressions such as ‘Fabulous!’ and ‘Marvelous!’. These people were presented with a multibillion-dollar program, and all they could say was “Hmm. Good. I don’t understand it!” What was the problem? Culture. What is an acceptable way of expressing excitement and joy in one country is not the same in another. The Swedes were thrilled, and they thought it was a fantastic computer program. They just had a different way of showing it. Another example: I remember my mother always telling me to look at her when she was talking to me, especially if it was something important. It was a way of showing that I was paying attention in a respectful way. Now, my friend from Nigeria told me that she never allows her children to look at her when she is talking. “I want them to respect me,” she says. Who is right? Both. That’s the beauty of culture. There is no such thing as right or wrong, good or bad culture. Of course, one has to take into consideration people living nearby. It is true that a person has to adjust to the country where he chooses to live. On the other hand, when people move into our country, we can make an effort to get to know their culture. Ask them about their country; ask them why they do certain things or wear different clothes. It can be quite interesting, actually. This doesn’t mean we have to like it, or live our lives in their way. But knowledge can definitely lead to fewer disagreements and more understanding between people. When culture is understood and used in an appropriate way, it can give a person a feeling of belonging and security. You know what to do in different situations. For example: at the time of birth and death. Let’s give place to culture. Try to know and understand other people’s culture, and also try to analyze our own. Let’s choose our own way of life. Above all else---let’s live in peace with all men! Title: Learning About Different Cultures Introduction ● Culture can not only bring people together but also (71) __________ them.

As we can see, some passers-by don’t obey traffic rules and jaywalk frequently. This blocks traffic seriously, affects drivers and causes accidents to happen, endangering the safety of passers-by and drivers. In a word, jaywalking produces negative effects and does not help develop good social behavior. It is really a pity to see all this in our society. To deal with the situation, the government has taken some effective measures. When caught jaywalking, the passers-by are criticized so that they will become aware of the dangers of doing so, or they are fined on the spot. Sometimes the traffic police will report jaywalkers at their workplace and expose them to the public. However, it will take a long time to stop passers-by from jaywalking. We should start from ourselves right now. 听力原稿 Text 1 M: I’m still waiting for my sister to come back and type up this application letter for me. W: Why bother her? I’ll show you how to use the computer. It’s quite easy. Text 2 W: Oh, honey, look at these little cats! They’re so cute! Don’t you just wanna bring one back with us and give it a good home? I do! M: Yeah, well, you say that now, but just wait until you start coughing. These kinds of cats leave their hair all over the place, and you know how we both get around pet hair. Text 3 W: Would you please prepare these materials and take them to the post office? M: Yes, madam, right away. Who would you like me to address this to? Text 4 M: These cases of canned goods don’t belong in the frozen foods section. W: I know. I’ve asked for someone to help me move them. They’re too heavy for me. M: Here, let me do it for you. Text 5 M: Linda, did the Sunday morning newspaper arrive yet? W: No. Maybe I should call them. M: No one will answer on the weekend. We will just have to let them know about it tomorrow and get a refund. Text 6 M: This hurricane season has been very mild so far. But don’t think it will stay this way! The National Weather Service says there’s still a 70% chance that it will be an active season. There have been only five tropical storms so far this year. But now, conditions are perfect for large storms to form. Stay tuned for more information, and check The Weather Channel often for updates! Back to you, Marcy. W: Is there really such a big chance we will get bad storms before the season is over, Steve? M: Yes. Even though it doesn’t seem like it, a powerful storm can form any time between now and October. Some of the worst storms in the past happened in September. W: Thanks, Steve. We’ll check in with you later. Text 7 W: Aw, this one is so cute! M: Um, he is really pretty, but I wouldn’t go so far as to call him cute. That word is usually used for dogs, cats... you know, normal pets. W: But look how friendly he is! He just came right up and put his head out so I could pet him. And these feathers are so soft! M: Taking care of a bird is not like taking care of fish, you know. You’d have to clean his cage all the time, and buy him special food...not to mention the fact that keeping a bird in a cage is kind of cruel, in my opinion. W: But we could build him a special cage in the backyard where he would have more room to fly around. I really like him, Paul! Text 8 M: What’s your favorite kind of food? W: I know this might seem silly, but I like simple American food...burgers, sandwiches, hot dogs...stuff like that. M: That’s kind of surprising, especially because you’re, um, you know, uh... W: A girl? M: Well, yeah... W: It’s OK, you can say it. You don’t have to be embarrassed. I get it all the time. A lot of people say that to me. But I mean, it’s not like I can help it. I like what I like, you know? M: Yeah, but how do you stay so thin? W: I work out a lot, and even though I guess I do eat a lot of junk food, I try to eat small amounts of it. I also try to eat more during breakfast and lunch and less at dinner. But I suppose the biggest influence is my genes. M: What do you mean by that? W: Both my mom and my grandma were super skinny, no matter what they ate. 1 guess it kind of runs in the family! M: Oh, THOSE genes... I thought you were talking about your pants! Text 9 M: Excuse me, could you please tell me how to get to the tennis courts? W: They’re right next to the Sports Center. M: I’m new to the university, so I don’t know where the Sports Center is, either. W: Head down this main road for two blocks. Turn right at the clock tower, and then you’ll be on Butte Avenue. Walk on Butte for three blocks, and... M: That’s already five blocks. Are you sure it’s only a five-minute walk? W: Hmm...it could be more like ten minutes. M: I don’t really wanna walk that far. Is there a bus stopping there? W: Yeah, there’s one in front of the pool, but the bus service is super slow during the day. M: I guess I’ll head there on foot, then. What are the tennis courts like? W: We’re really lucky. They’re the best in the area. M: Wow! So, what’s the deal? Did a rich person donate some money? W: Yeah. About five or six years ago, a famous basketball player left a bunch of money to the school for a new sports center. M: Nice! Well, I’m meeting a friend at the tennis courts in fifteen minutes, so I’d better get going. Text 10 Beijing has one of the best and least expensive bus systems in the world. Beijing has always been a city of bikes as well, and all streets have special bike lanes. The Chinese capital is a great walking city, too. With all these great options, many people are surprised to learn that Beijing has more cars now than Los Angeles, which is known as having the most cars in America! These four million cars have to be parked somewhere, and it can be almost impossible to find a parking space during the day. It’s a little better at night because many of Beijing’s drivers return to their homes outside the city. But during rush hour, you could be looking at a wait of over an hour at certain parking lots. The line to get in the parking lots can go all the way around the block, which makes it even more difficult for other drivers to get where they need to go. As a result, the areas around the parking lots kind of turn into parking lots themselves, with streets full of cars unable to move anywhere for a long time. 1
