二、完型填空（共 1 道试题，共 10 分。）V 1.  Ahhh, summer. Time to relax. You cannot have complete rest if you ___1___it too seriously. But taking vacations seriously is exactly___2___we Americans seem to do. In the same way our kids' free time is now packed with activities, we adults have turned vacations into "active leisure." Anytime you try very hard to relax, that's active leisure. Our vacations___3___with an agenda, a purpose. We're visiting family, attending weddings, going camping, and making sure we ride that roller coaster-no matter how long the line is. We Americans are so active in our leisure___4___we commonly complain we need a vacation from our vacations. We leave home___5___; we come back exhausted. That's why many of us have decided not to go. Americans are___6___a few vacation days (14 days, on average) compared with other developed countries, but ironically, we don't even use them. The average American will leave four vacation days on the table this year, which adds up to a total 574 million days of___7___vacation. Our relationship to relaxation seems contradictory. We spend more money than anyone else in the world on leisure-fully one-___8___of our income-and yet at the same time we are No. 1 in the world at not taking vacations. One of the top reasons given for not taking a vacation is that it's too much extra work. We have to get___9___of our work in order to leave, and then we have to catch up on our work upon our return. The longer the vacation we take, the bigger the stumbling blocks appear. So only 14% of Americans will take a vacation two weeks or longer this summer. Bottom line: it's simply become too stressful to relax. We Americans take our time off so seriously that you can now get a Ph.D. in leisure studies at Penn State and 17 other famous universities. That's right-a doctorate, not just a bachelor's. It's such an up-and-coming field in academe that there is an actual shortage of___10___educators. We don't have enough people to teach leisure. I am tempted to make a joke about this, but I don't want to get the wrath of the leisure scientists. They'll beat me up with chairs.

三、阅读理解（共 2 道试题，共 30 分。）V 1.  Although stage plays have been set to music since the era(年代) of the ancient Greeks when the dramas of Sophocles and Aeschylus were accompanied by lyres(里拉琴) and flutes, the usually accepted date for the beginning of opera as we know it is 1600. As part of the celebration of the marriage of King Henry IV of France to the Italian aristocrat(贵族) Maria de Medici, the Florentine composer Jacopo Peri produced his famous Euridice, generally considered to be the first opera.

2.  Good morning, students. Today we will continue our investigation of the mosquito(蚊子). We all thought that mosquitoes follow skin odors(气味), but no such odor has been identified. It turns out, in fact, that no skin seems to be as attractive to a mosquito as a current of air(气流) having the right degree of warmth and humidity(湿度). But, a mosquito can be turned off its course by a repellent(驱蚊剂). This is how it works: a mosquito senses humidity in a airstream by means of tiny pores(气孔) in the hairs located on its antennae(触角). These hairs send electrical impulses to the central nervous system whenever they encounter humidity in the air. The repellent blocks the pores through which mosquitoes sense the presence of water vapor(水汽) in the air. As a mosquito comes in for a landing on a warm moist body, the repellent blocks the mosquito's sensors, and realizing that it has lost its moist current of air, it instinctively changes its course.
1). What is the main topic of this talk?
A.  Interaction between mosquitoes and repellents.
B.  Components of air currents.
C. Independence of skin odors.
D. The mosquito's central nervous system.
      满分：3  分
2).  According to the speaker, what are mosquitoes attracted to ____?
A. Skin odors
B. Water vapor
C. Warmth and moisture
D. Air currents
      满分：3  分
3). What does the mosquito repellent do?
A. It changes the moisture in the air.
B. It blocks the hairs in the sensors.
C.  It changes the humidity of the skin.
D.  It blocks the pores in the hairs.
      满分：3  分
4). What happens when the mosquito comes into contact with the repellent?
A.  It quickly moves off in another direction.
B.  Its sensors become blocked by the water vapor in the repellent.
C.  The pores in the hairs on its skin become blocked.
D. It sends an electrical impulse to its central nervous system.
      满分：3  分
5).  According to the passage, what can be inferred about mosquito repellents?
A.  A degree of instability in their use has emerged.
B. Their reliability has yet to be proved.
C. More research is needed into their efficiency.
D.  They appear to be highly effective.
