The course offers you the chance to push yourself, both physically and mentally. No tents, no gas cookers, just you and the wilderness.

A few final practical details. You have to be at least 18 years old to come on the course. The

七、Part Ⅲ Cloze(总题数：1，分数：15.00)

According to the World Wildlife Fund, the polar bear could be faced with extinction and a large number of other animals reduced to very small remnant populations by global warming in Arctic regions.

Warmer winters are r 1 for the thinning or disappearance of ice sheets in many parts of the Arctic, 2 (result) in a situation where polar bears are at risk of 3 (starve) because they cannot travel to their normal breeding and hunting grounds.

Even in places 4 there is still a lot of ice around, polar bears are under threat because they rely on snow caves to rear their young. 5 of the warmer weather, some of these caves now collapse suddenly and bury the bear cubs inside.

Other effects of c 6 change are also being observed. Animals such as reindeer (known as \"caribou\" in North America) have adapted 7 the extreme cold and are therefore able to cope with the Arctic climate. For m 8 of years they have been migrating to places where they breed and find food. These 9 (migrate) coincide with the growing seasons of the plants they feed on. 10 (ecology) have found, however, that these animals are now arriving at their spring feeding grounds too late, and the 11 they eat have gone to seed. This is having a s 12 impact on caribou herds. A substantial number of calves are being lost and there is already a substantial 13 (reduce) in the size of the herds. Scientists are concerned, but 14 (power) to do anything in response to the situation—everything they have tried has been in vain. This is simply another unforeseen consequence of 15 (globe) warming.（分数：15.00）

解析：responsible[解析] 根据语境可知，该句指“暖冬是北极很多地方覆盖冰层变薄或消失的原因”，be responsible for为固定搭配，有“形成…的原因”的意思。结合首字母r，可知此处应填responsible。 解析：resulting[解析] 此处表示伴随，因此应填result的现在分词形式，表示随着冰层变薄或消失而出现的后果。

解析：starvation[解析] 该空位于介词of之后，因此应当用starve的名词形式starvation，指“北极熊有被饿死的危险”。

解析：where[解析] 此处引导定语从句修饰地点名词places，因此应当用关系副词where。

解析：Because[解析] 根据语境可知，此处指“由于气候变暖，一些洞穴突然坍塌就把小熊埋进去了”。because of为固定搭配，意为“由于，因为”。

解析：climate[解析] 此处指“气候变化的其他影响同样被注意到”，climate change指“气候变化”。 解析：to[解析] be adapted to为惯用搭配，指“适应”，文中指“如驯鹿这样的动物已经习惯了严寒”。 解析：millions[解析] 根据上下文可知此处指“几百万年以来驯鹿一直在向其繁殖和觅食的地方迁徙”。millions of指“几百万…”，注意表示泛指时，hundred、thousand、million、billion和trillion这样的词要用复数形式。

解析：migrations[解析] 此处所填的词与定冠词the构成句子的主语，应填migrate的名词形式，此外该句谓语为复数形式，因此该处应为migrations。

解析：Ecologists[解析] 该句指“然而，生态学家们发现这些动物到达它们春天的觅食区太晚了”，可知此处指一类人，由于谓语为复数形式，因此填ecologists，注意首字母大写。

解析：Plants[解析] 上文提到这些动物的迁徙和它们所食用的植物(the plants they feed on)的生长期相一致，因此该空应填plants(植物)。

解析：serious/severe[解析] 上句提到“等驯鹿到达觅食区时，它们食用的植物就只剩种子了”，可知这会产生严重的后果，结合首字母s可知该空应填serious或severe。

解析：reduction[解析] 此处被不定冠词a修饰，因此应填入reduce的名词形式reduction，指“驯鹿的数量大大减少”。

解析：powerless[解析] 此处与concerned并列做表语，因此应用power的形容词形式。根据语境可知，此处指“科学家很担心但是面对这一情况却无能为力”，因此应用powerless(无能为力的)。

解析：global[解析] 该篇文章一直在探讨全球变暖给北极动物带来的影响。“全球变暖”的表达为global warming。

八、Part Ⅳ Reading Comperhension(总题数：0，分数：0.00) 九、Section A(总题数：1，分数：10.00)

In the 1970s, many people became concerned about energy. People in developed countries had to face up to the fact that they used too much energy, and energy sources weren\"t going to last forever. One architect, Michael Reynolds, decided to do something about this. He set out to design homes that were cheaper to build and more energy-efficient. In addition, he wanted to do something about the rubbish problem, and came up with the idea of \"earthships\".

Although \"earthship\" sounds like the name of a boat, an earthship is actually a house. However, it is a house with a difference. Earthships are constructed from garbage, and they are built using only 10 percent of the energy needed to build an ordinary house. Moreover, after they are built, earthships use only 10 percent of the energy required to heat, light and cool a regular home. One of the big benefits of earthships is that they are made from recycled materials. The main construction material of an earthship is used tires that are filled with dirt. The dirt-filled tires are then laid flat and stacked like bricks. Because tires are round, there is lots of extra space between columns of tires. These spaces are filled with used cardboard. The tires and cardboard form the outside walls of an earthship. The wails between rooms inside don\"t need to be as strong, so these walls are made with old cans, bottles and cement. All the walls are then covered and painted. In the end, the house looks just like a typical home.

Another benefit of an earthship is that it saves energy and natural resources. For example, an earthship uses less water than an ordinary house. Rain water, which is collected on the roof, is used for drinking and bathing. Furthermore, earthships need much less energy than ordinary houses for healing and cooling because they are built partly into the ground. This stops the inside of the house from getting too hot or too cold.

All of these features make earthships very environmentally friendly. That\"s one of the reasons they have caught on throughout the world. Earthships have been built in Bolivia, Australia, Mexico, Japan, Canada, England, Scotland and all over the US. Maybe in the near future, an earthship will be landing near you!

十一、Section C(总题数：1，分数：10.00)

For many years large supermarkets have been encouraging us to spend money by pumping the smell of freshly-baked bread into their store. Now Dale Air, a leading firm of aroma consultants, has been approached by Barclay\"s Bank to develop suitable artificial smells for their banks. Researchers have suggested that surrounding customers with the \"smell of money\" will encourage them to relax and feel optimistic and confident about a bank\"s security and professionalism. However, before a smell can be manufactured and disseminated through air conditioning systems

into banks, it must be identified and chemically analysed, and this has proved to be difficult. The problem is that banknotes and coins tend to pick up the smell of their surroundings, so cash that has been sitting in a cash register at a fishmonger\"s will smell of fish, and banknotes used to pay for meals in restaurants will tend to smell of other types of food.

It may be a challenge, but aroma experts have little doubt that the use of an artificial smell of money will be an effective form of subconscious advertising. Lunn Poly, a British travel company, introduced the smell of coconuts into its travel agencies and saw a big increase in spending by holiday makers. Many cafes now have machines that release the smell of freshly roasted coffee near their entrances, subtly encouraging customers to come in and have a drink or snack. Even prestige car maker Rolls-Royce sprays the inside of its cars to enhance the smell of the leather seats.

\"The sense of smell is probably the most basic and primitive of all human senses,\" explains researcher Jim O\"reiordan. \"There is a direct pathway from the olfactory organs in the nose to the brain.\" It is certainly true that most people find certain smells incredibly evocative, and that these smells stir up memories and feelings in a way that few other stimulants can rival. It is a phenomenon marketing consultants have long recognized, but until recently have been unable to harness. \"We\"ve made great progress but the technology of odour production is still in its infancy,\" says O\"reiordan.

Say whether the following statements are true or false （分数：10.00）

(1).Dale Air has produced an artificial \"smell of money\" for Barclay\"s Bank.（分数：2.00） A.正确 B.错误 √

解析：[解析] 文章第一段指出Barclay\"s Bank想让Dale Air这个专业团队帮其设计出一种‘smell of money’，接着下文指出虽然这一设计存在困难，具有挑战性但是aroma experts毫不怀疑人工创造出的钱的气味是潜意识下一种有效的广告方法，可见Dale Air尚未设计出这种气味。 (2).It is difficult to identify the smell of real money.（分数：2.00） A.正确 √ B.错误

解析：[解析] 第二段第二句指出钞票和硬币倾向于沾上周围物体的气味，所以鱼贩的收银机里的钱会有鱼的气味，而饭店里用来付款的钱会有其他食物的气味，由此可见确定出钱的气味比较困难。 (3).Shoppers are aware of the effect smells have on their spending.（分数：2.00） A.正确 B.错误 √

解析：[解析] 文章中只是指出很多商家利用不同的气味来刺激顾客消费，但并未提及消费者意识到气味对他们消费的影响，此外从第三段首句提到的“subconscious advertising”，可知气味是一种潜意识下的广告方式，因此题干有误。

(4).Translate the underlined sentences.（分数：2.00）

__________________________________________________________________________________________ 正确答案：()

解析：目前，很多咖啡馆都在靠近他们咖啡馆的入口处摆放可以散发出新鲜咖啡味儿的机器。通过这种方式，可以巧妙地鼓励顾客走进馆内，喝点儿东西或者吃点儿东西。[解析] 该句中that引导定语从句修饰machines，翻译成汉语时应把定语前置，译为“可以散发出新鲜咖啡味儿的机器”。逗号之后为伴随状语，可以在之前加译“通过这种方式”。

__________________________________________________________________________________________ 正确答案：()

解析：事实的确如此，大多数人都发现，某些气味具有唤醒的作用，它们可以在某种程度上唤起一些记忆或者情感．这是其他的刺激物无法比拟的。[解析] 该句中it为形式主语，两个并列的that从句为句子真正的主语。evocative指“引起回忆的；唤起的”。stir up为固定搭配，指“激起；挑起”。stimulant刺激物。

十二、Section D(总题数：1，分数：10.00)

The Wai Wai are a tribe of about 250 people who live in the Amazon jungle. This tribe has had little contact with the modern world. In fact, their nearest neighbour, another tribe of native people, live so far away that it takes three weeks to walk from one village to the other. One of the few Western people who have visited the Wai Wai is Colonel John Blashford-Snell of the Scientific Exploration Society. In March 2002, he spent two months visiting the tribe and giving them medical help.

On the last day of his visit, the village priest approached Colonel Blashford-Snell to ask him a favour. As the colonel explained, \"He wanted a grand piano to put in the village church. I said, \"Do you have any idea what a grand piano looks like?\" He said he had seen pictures of one in a book. I told him that I didn\"t think he\"d ever be able to play a piano, and he replied, \"No, no, we are musical people.\" Then he said, \"God moves in mysterious ways.\" And so I took up the challenge.\"

Back in England, Colonel Blashford-Snell was offered a 360 kilogram grand piano as a gift from the Millennium Gloucester Hotel in London. Next, he needed to find a way to get the piano to the village deep in the Amazon jungle. First, Colonel Blashford-Snell and his team flew the piano as far into the jungle as they could by helicopter, but getting the piano from there to the village was no easy feat. With the help of a few people from the tribe, they put the piano on a sledge and pulled it several miles through the jungle to a river using ropes. Then they loaded the piano into two dugout canoes and started up the river. Finally, they arrived at the base of the mountain where the village is situated, and with the help of more tribe members, they were able to carry the piano to the top of the mountain, and thus the piano arrived at its new home in the Amazon rain forest!

Six months later, Colonel Blashford-Snell went to visit the tribe, and took two piano tuners with him because he knew the heat and dampness in the jungle would have a bad effect on the piano. After clearing out the insects nesting inside the piano and making extensive repairs, the Wai Wai, in cooperation with the piano tuners, recorded a CD to raise money for the tribe. The CD included a variety of hymns sung by the Wai Wai, a West Side Story medley, and the Beatles classic \"With a Little Help from My Friends\".

Read the passage carefully and then complete each space in the summary, using a maximum of three words from the passage.

Summary:

When Colonel Blashford-Snell was visiting the Wai Wai people in the Amazon, one of the tribes people approached him and asked him to do the tribe a 1 . They wanted a grand piano. The colonel agreed to help them, and was given a piano when he got back to London. Using a helicopter, a 2 and two dugout canoes, he transported the piano to the tribe\"s village.

The Wai Wai hopes this CD, which includes a Beatles song and a medley from a musical, will help their tribe 5 .（分数：10.00）

解析：favour[解析] 文章中指出Colonel Blashford-Snell是极少数拜访过Wai Wai部落的西方人之一，第三段首句指出在他拜访的最后一天，村里的牧师ask him a favour，其中ask ab. a favour与ask sb. to do a favour表达同一个意思，均指“请某人帮忙”，故此处为favour。

解析：sledge[解析] 第四段第四句指出在一些来自那个部落的人的帮助下，“they put the piano on a sledge”，可知在运送钢琴的过程中，Colonel Blashford-Snell用到了一个sledge(雪橇)。

解析：two piano tuners[解析] 最后一段首句指出六个月后，Colonel Blashford-Snell带着two piano tuners(两个钢琴调音师)再次拜访了这个部落。

解析：nesting[解析] 从最后一段第二句提到的“After clearing out the insects nesting inside the piano and making extensive repairs...”，可知此处为nesting，指“清除掉在钢琴上结网的昆虫”。 解析：raise money[解析] 最后一段提到the Wai Wai在钢琴调音师的帮助下制作了一张CD目的是“to raise money for the tribe”，故此处为raise money(筹钱)。

26.Suppose you are Zhu Liang, and the following is part of a letter your friend, Jenny, wrote to you. Read it and then write Jenny a reply of at least 80 work, answering the questions she has asked. Do not include your own name or address.

I am doing a survey, and would like you to participate. Please tell me; what kind of music you like, and how long you\"ve liked it; who your favourite bands and singers are, and why you like them;

how long you spend listening to music every day, and what equipment you use. I look forward to hearing from you.

（分数：10.00）

__________________________________________________________________________________________ 正确答案：() 解析：Dear Jenny,

I learn from your last letter that you are doing a survey and I\"m pleased to answer those questions. Pop music has always been my favourite music since I was in middle school. Whenever I feel depressed, as long as I listen to it, I will feel much better. Well, many singers are pretty cool and have their own characteristics. But I like Stefanie Sun best, since her music is pleasant to hear and her light songs have the magic to cheer people up when they are blue. As I have said, I like pop music very much, so I\"m always listening to it, that is about 4 to 5 hours a day, perhaps a little bit too long, right? Most of the time I will carry my walkman to listen to music, but sometimes I also use the CD player in my house.

I hope you\"re satisfied with my answer and good luck with your survey.

Yours sincerely,

Zhang Liang

十七、Task Ⅱ(总题数：1，分数：20.00)

27.A new magazine has invited readers to discuss the following statement: Junk food is the worst food.

Write an article of at least 120 words discussing the statement.

（分数：20.00）

__________________________________________________________________________________________ 正确答案：() 解析：

Junk food is the worst food

When it comes to the statement \"Junk food is the worst food\seems that people are surrounded by junk food, but not many can resist the temptation of one kind or another even though they are well aware of the harm it could cause.

The hazards that come with the junk food are more than we could possibly imagine. The notorious junk food carries with it an excessive amount of fat, oil, cholesterol, sugar, preservatives, etc., which poses a hidden yet grave threat to our health. As we know, obesity is very common among schoolchildren and young people, which to a large degree is owing to the consumption of too much junk food. Nevertheless, it\"s not all. Junk food can cause high blood pressure and other chronic diseases. Some junk food even contains certain ingredients, which will trigger cancer if taken too much. How horrible is that!

In summary, I definitely agree with the idea that junk food is the worst food.
