The argan forest in Morocco, northwest Africa, is a very special place. The trees
help to stop the spread of the desert. It takes between 40 to 60 years for an argan tree to become an adult. And scientists say that the tree may live for 200 to 400
years. But this long growing time can be a problem. When s omeone cuts down an argan tree, it takes a very long time for another one to grow and replace it.
The women in Morocco make a special product from the trees: argan oil. They gather
the fruit from the ground. Then, they take the seeds (籽) out of the fruit. When
these seeds dry, they pound them between two stones to remove the oil.
In the past, the women produced argan oil to use in cooking, on their skin, and to
treat sicknesses. In the 1990s people in Europe began to learn about the special
qualities of the oil, so the production of argan oil started to change. Many companies in the West moved to Morocco and used chemicals (化学物质) to get the oil out of
the seeds, pushing out the native people and also making the argan forest suffering. So the Moroccan government started to help fix this problem. First, they talked to UNESCO. In 1998, UNESCO recognized the argan forest as a special place that the world will protect. The second step was to encourage the women in Morocco to form cooperatives (合作社). And the European Union declared that argan oil must be
produced by these cooperatives.
Today there are over 50 argan oil cooperatives run by women i n Southwestern Morocco. These cooperatives not only give women a way to help support their families but also care for the existing forest and plant more argan trees. They make sure that the
argan forest will exist for many more generations. Argan oil is more than just
something to eat or rub on your skin. It is a product that makes a difference.
5. What’s good about the argan tree?
A. It stops the soil from blowing away.
B. It can live in a very wet place.
C. It has a short growing time.
D. It doesn’t break easily.
6. Why did the Western companies go to Morocco?
A. To learn from the Moroccan women.
B. To learn about the argan tree.
C. To trade with the natives.
D. To produce argan oil.
7. Why does argan oil make a difference?
A. It helps the people in Morocco.
B. It helps the world get to know Africa.
C. It helps the women get their equal rights.
D. It helps improve Morocco’s international position.

What is the most popular way to travel in the whole world，not counting a human being's two legs？You say by car？No．Train？Wrong again．Airplane？I'm sorry，but you're not even close．The most popular way of going from one place to another is by
bicycle．And it is a surprise to most Americans．After all，we see thousands of cars each day．We don't see nearly as many bikes．
In the United States most bike riders are either young people or adults bicycling
for exercise．About nine million bikes are sold in America each year．Nearly three million are sold to adults．The rest are to children．But in the rest of the world，far more people use the bike as their main way of traveling．They ride bikes to work，to school，and to stores．
Bicycles have been around for a long time-about 300 years．You would not like to
ride around on those early bikes，though．They didn't have any pedals （脚蹬）．The riders had to push along with their feet．And this bike only went straight ahead．There was no way to turn the front wheel．If the rider wanted to change direction，he or she had to get off and move the bicycle．When p edals were put on the front wheels，riding became easier．The most popular kind of bike in the late 1800s had a very
high front wheel and a small back wheel．It was a long fall to the ground!
Another problem was that there were no rubber tires （橡胶轮胎）．It's no wonder that one bike was called the" Boneshaker．"Then in the 1880s，air-filled rubber tires were put on the bicycle's wheels．Since then the bicycle has not changed very much．Of course bikes come in different shapes and colors now，but the main design is still
the same．
8．Compared with those in America，bikes in the rest of the world ．
A．are much cheaper
B．enjoy greater popularity
C．are mainly used by children
D．are mainly used to do exercise
9．Why did people dislike riding early bikes？
A．They were too large．
B．They were dangerous．
C．They were hard to control．
D．They were too high for many people．
10．The underlined word" Boneshaker" in the last paragraph shows the bike was ．A．old B．Slow C．broken D．uncomfortable
11．The author wrote this text mainly to ．
A．warn readers about bicycle safety
B．introduce the new shapes of bicycles
C．encourage readers to bicycle for exercise
D．inform readers about the history of bicycles．
D
I was born in Thailand, where I feel at home. I am used to jumping on to a song taow (red taxi), and squeezing (挤过) in between two strangers. I am used to bargaining at the market to get a shirt that I like. I love telling bilingual (双语的) jokes and I am used to the surprised looks I get from the Thais when I can speak their
language fluently.
Every two years my family goes to America for the summer, and every two years my
world is turned upside down. The prices of everything are three times what they were in Thailand, but there is the sweet drink Dr. Pepper! And Bluebell Ice-cream! And
everything you could imagine! I am amazed at it all, but the biggest change for me
is the people. There are white people everywhere. I am not tall but average (中等的), my yellow hair is no longer out of place, and speaking English no longer draws looks. I should feel comfortable. I’m n ot out of place anymore, and nobody is looking at me, but I feel like they are. Now I feel out of place and different. I’m not used to giving people handshakes and hugs when I meet them for the first time. I
get looks when I have trouble figuring out how much money to pay. I know different
music, different places, and different fashion. I can’t understand these people
who have never left their town or city.
Still, there are quite a few perks about living overseas. I get to meet people from all over the world, and I know how to adjust to (适应) different cultures and places.
I have been to places most people see only in geography books. Still, being so
different makes it hard to know who you are. I’m not Thai, but I am not American either. I am a mix of both cultures, a third culture kid.
12.When the Thais give the author surprised looks, she feels _____.
A．upset B．strange
C．normal D．different
13.When the author returns to America, _____.
A．she makes more friends
B．she becomes more polite
C．she can’t find what she needs
D．she is like a fish out of water
14.The underlined word “perks” in the last paragraph can be replaced by _____. A．reasons B．problems C．advantages D．suggestions
15.In this text, the author mainly wants to describe _____.
A．her different lifestyles
B．a kind of culture shock
C．a feeling of loneliness
D．her ability to face difficulties

Dear Sir / Madam,
My name is Li Hua. I would like to work as a volunteer for the International Yo
uth Games in 2015.
As a senior high school student, I’m crazy about English and practice speaking
En glish in everyday life. For example, I often chat with some foreign net-pa
ls, which really contributes to my fluency in oral English. Besides, I’m open-minded, quick in thought and fond of social practice, which I think is a qualit
y that a qualified volunteer should have. Above all, being a native of the city,
I do know a lot about its history and culture. So I’m sure that the foreigner
s will appreciate my sincere service and enjoy their stay in our city. I would
appreciate it if my application could be granted. And I’ll spare no effort to
ensure everyone’s satisfaction
Looking forward to your reply.
Yours Sincerely
Li Hua
解析
1.D 细节理解题．根据第二个广告的句子"This year there will be 16 concerts，including three ‘Grotto Concerts'，"它的活动时间是When：Aug.29--Sept.9．所以D选项是正确的．
2.D 细节理解题．根据第三个广告的句子"Where：Cheyenne，Wyoming"，它的价格是Competition tickets start at 18，and concert tickets at 23，所以总共是41．所以D 选项是正确的．
3.B 细节理解题．根据第四个广告的句子"This year's performances include Wagner's"
The Flying Dutchman" and Verdi's" King for a Day"，"它的标题是The Glimmerglass Festival．所以B选项是正确的．
4.B 推理判断题．文章是四个艺术方面节日的广告，所以出自网站的艺术版面．所以B选项是正确的．
5.A
6.D
7.A
8．B 细节题．根据第一段介绍可知，The most popular way of going from one place to
another is by bicycle，在世界上其他地方最受欢迎的交通工具是自行车，故答案为B．9．C 推理题．根据一些信息，如They didn't have any pedals、The riders had to push along with their feet等可知，自行车没有脚蹬，骑车人必须使劲用脚前行，所以骑车人
很难对自行车控制，所以C选项是正确的．
10．A 猜测词意题．Another problem was that there were no rubber tires，Since then the bicycle has not changed very much这两句话告诉我们自行车没有橡胶轮胎，从那时
起就没有发生变化过，所以该出是说自行车比较旧，故答案为A．
11．D 主旨大意题．根据全文的内容可知，主要介绍自行车是世界上最受欢迎的交通工具，
并提到自行车的一些相关知识，故答案为D．
12. C 推理判断题。根据第一段的in Thailand, where I feel at home.和I am used to the surprised looks I get from the Thais...可知，在泰国长大的作者习惯了这里的一切，
泰国人听到她说流利的泰语时所表现出的吃惊反而让她觉得很正常。故选C。
13.D 细节理解题。根据第二段作者描述她回到美国后的各种不习惯可知，回到美国的她就
想离开水的鱼一样不适应那里的生活。故选D。
14.C 词义猜测题。根据划线此后所说的“人是来自世界各地的人、知道如何适应不同文化、
去过别人只在地理课本上见到的地方”等可知，这些都是旅居海外的益处，故此处perks 有“好处、优势”之意，故选C。
15.B 主旨大意题。作者在本文描述了她在泰国和美国生活的不同感受，而这种对不同文化
的不适应是由“文化冲击”所带来的。故选B。
