Ⅰ.阅读理解

When you're looking forward to taking a holiday in Egypt, you're certainly not short of choices. The country has so many to see that you'll probably not want to limit yourself to just one city.
Hurghada—A Water Sports Paradise
With 250 hotels ranking from comfortable 3-star hotels up to 5-star accommodation, the main attraction of staying here is the activities in and on the warm waters. It has become an international centre for water sports, allowing visitors to take part in surfing, sailing and deep sea fishing. The waters are also home to a huge variety of coral and fish, making it a dream spot for diving. If all that isn't enough, Hurghada is home to some of the world's finest underwater gardens.
Luxor—An Open Air Museum of Ancient History
24
For those with an interest in Egyptian history, Luxor is an excellent place to stay and is built upon the site of the ancient Egyptian city of Thebes. If you make this the base for your Egypt holiday, you're basically staying in an open air museum! The modern city of Luxor has the ruins of Karnak. Across the Nile lie many more monuments, temples and tombs including the Valley of the Kings and the Queens. The Nile sailing is necessary for those with an interest in the country's ancient history.
Cairo—The Capital City
Finally, of course, there's Cairo. It's definitely a starting point for most of Egypt holiday makers. Cairo offers an excellent mix of culture, art, cooking and sightseeing chances. With the famous pyramids, various temples and some fascinating museums, Cairo is a fantastic choice if you can come to the city.

I picked up my two best friends and we were off on a road trip. I had just returned to America from a year abroad in China. So, naturally I wanted to take a trip to Canada.
Montreal, the second largest city in Canada, is a four-hour drive from my home in New Hampshire. We felt a thrill as we crossed the border into Canada. It was the first time I had ever driven across an international border. We turned on the radio to try and find some Canadian stations.
After dropping off our bags at our hotel, we were immediately walking down the famous St Catherine's Street. While we walked, two things surprised us: how cold it was and how well everyone dressed. The streets of Montreal are like a fashion show. Both_men_and_women_look_like_they_stepped_out_of_the_pages_of_a_magazine.
All of that fashion has to keep them warm since Montreal is so cold. Last year it broke the record for the most snowfall in North America. To hide from the cold we went into a small diner because we wanted to order Poutine, a very popular snack in Montreal. It is French fries covered in cheese and brown gravy(肉汁). It is delicious.
However, we had a hard time ordering the dish since the official language of
24
Montreal is French. It is actually the fifth largest French-speaking city in the world. But since the rest of Canada speak English, plenty of people were there to help.
We spent the rest of the weekend going to many historical churches and monuments in Montreal. But at night we'd head to the very modern dance clubs and bars. Montreal is a city that sits between the past and the future and the traveller can choose whichever direction he wants to go.

In our everyday lives we meet situations in which we take many things for granted. We only treasure things when they are gone. This is a sad truth of human nature. One day, I found myself as a witness to a similar situation.
One evening, I left work and boarded the train. After entering, I noticed something unusual. The center of the car had a few empty seats while both ends were crowded with people standing. I didn't pay much attention and sat down on one of the empty seats. I sensed a funny smell. It wasn't long before I noticed a homeless person sleeping on three seats in front of me. He was bleeding from his nose. Why wasn't anyone helping him?
His clothes were torn and he was giving off a strange smell. Along with the smell, his eyes were dull, watery, and red. Occasionally he scratched himself and people looked at him as if he had committed a crime. As the train stopped at stations and more people came in they covered their noses and faced away from him. All the seats around him were empty.
Suddenly, he began to swear at the people around him. A plain-clothes police officer who looked like a construction worker took out his certificate and showed it to the homeless man. The officer, not wanting to touch the homeless man, told him his rights and directed him to exit the train. As the officer walked the man out of the train, the homeless man turned around and said “MY HOME!” and started crying.
A man doesn't value things until they are gone. If he didn't have a home, at
24
least he had freedom. Now he has neither. No one wants to help someone who won't help himself.

(2018·陕西省咸阳市高考模拟检测)Most of us are guilty of texting while walking. We can't help replying to that message we just received. However, while it's fun to keep up with the latest gossip, we may actually be putting ourselves in danger.
A team of researchers from two UK universities recently found that people who use their phones while on the move walk differently than usual. “Recently, a person in front of me was walking very slowly and winding, and I thought, ‘Is this person drunk?’” Mattew Timmis, co-author of the study, told theGuardian.
It turned out that the person was just texting. Inspired by this, Timmis and his team set out to discover the effects of phone use on how we walk across streets.
A group of 21 volunteers were asked to walk around a simulated(模拟的) street, complete with obstacles such as a step. The participants traveled the course a total of 12 times each, either writing or reading a message, making a call, or with no phone at all.
It took the volunteers 118 percent longer to complete the course when using a phone. They also focused on the step obstacle 60 percent more and paid attention to the travel path 51 percent more when they weren't using a phone.
Although there were no accidents, Timmis believes we should still be aware of what's going on around us.
“The big risk here is suddenly-appearing dangers, like a pedestrian(行人) suddenly walking in front of you,” he told theGuardian. “You are not going to be able to respond to that as efficiently, which increases the risk of injury.”
To bring attention to the dangers of “text walking”, a temporary “texting lane” was set up in Antwerp, Belgium in 2015. And earlier this year, a special crosswalk with flashing red lights on the ground to get the attention of texters was set up in Wuhan, Hubei.
“Texting while walking can lead to running into poles or other pedestrians.

You could even be endangering your own life when you cross the street without looking up,” a spokesperson for the company that made the Antweip texting lane told theGuardian.

Ⅱ.七选五阅读填空
(2018·湖南、江西十四校联考)Varietyisthespiceoflanguage. The words listed in this book are not intended to replace those that most people use most of the time. Rather, they are variations on the theme. We tend to use the same old words over and over again, to limit our powers of expression by limiting our vocabulary. There is nothing wrong with the “old words”. __1__
How often have you spoken of having an accident? __2__ Everyone talks of the usual thing to do or expect. Might not one, to enrich his speech, speak of the customary thing or why not occasionally describe a situation as aggravated instead of worsened?
__3__ Vary them with the “new words”. English is an especially rich language, and often there are tiny differences between two words that are generally regarded as the same. Thus, a mishap is not merely an accident; it is an unfortunate accident. (There can be fortunate accidents, like bumping into an old friend you haven't seen for years and whose address you've lost.) __4__ Other examples: fragrant, for smelling good, or having a nice smell; morsel, for bit, deft, for skillful or clever.
No doubt a good many words in the list will be familiar to you, but do you use them, or do they remain the “property” of others? They are included to introduce variety, into your speech and writing. __5__ Let them compete, and make your language all the richer.
A.Don't throw away the “old words”.
B.Our interest in learning will be discouraged.
C.But why not enhance your speech and writing by learning to use new ones from time to time as alternatives?
D.English words are grouped according to their origins.
E.Can we use the alternative mishap(小事故) once in a while?
F.So, in using mishap instead of accident, you must be sure of the distinction.
G.Try to make these words your own, as companions or friendly rivals of the ones you have managed with in the past.
