第一部分 阅读理解（共10小题：每小题2分，满分20分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

A

Zoe Chambers was a successful PR (Public Relations) consultant and life was going well---she had a great job, a beautiful flat and a busy social life in London. Then one evening in June last year, she received a text message telling her she was out of work. “The first two weeks were the most difficult to live through,”she said. “After everything I'd done for the company, they dismissed me by text! I was so angry and I just didn't feel like looking for another job. I hated everything about the city and my life.”

Then, Zoe received an invitation from an old school friend, Kathy, to come and stay. Kathy and her husband, Huw, had just bought a farm in north-west Wales. Zoe jumped at the chance to spend a weekend away from London, and now, ten months later, she is still on the farm.

“The moment I arrived at Kathy‟s farm, I loved it and I knew I wanted to stay.” said Zoe. “Everything about my past life suddenly seemed meaningless.”

Zoe has been working on the farm since October of last year and says she has no regrets. “It‟s a hard life, physically very tiring.”she says. “In London I was stressed and often mentally exhausted. But this is a good, healthy tiredness. Here, all 1 need to put me in a good mood is a hot bath and one of Kathy‟s wonderful dinners.”

Zoe says she has never felt bored on the farm. Every day brings a new experience. Kathy has been teaching her how to ride a horse and she has learnt to drive a tractor. Since Christmas, she has been helping with the lambing---watching a lamb being born is unbelievable, she says, “It's one of the most moving experiences I've ever had. I could never go back to city life now.” 1. When working as a PR consultant in London, Zoe thought she lived a ________ life. A. satisfying B. tough C. meaningless D. boring

2. The most important reason why Zoe went to visit Kathy's farm is that ________. A. Zoe lost her job as a PR consultant B. Kathy persuaded her to do so C. Zoe got tired of the city life D. Zoe loved Wales more than London

3. How does Zoe feel about the country life according to the passage? A. Tiresome and troublesome. B. Romantic and peaceful C. Mentally exhausting but healthy D. Physically tiring but rewarding.

4. It is stated in the passage that ________. A. Zoe went to the farm to start a new life B. Zoe failed to find another job in London C. Kathy was Zoe‟s friend from work D. watching a lamb being born touched Zoe‟s heart

5. Which of the following is closest to the main idea of the passage? A. A friend in need is a friend indeed. B. Where there is a will, there is a way.

C. A misfortune may turn out a blessing. D. Kill two birds with one stone.

Chris Waddell wants to climb Kilimanjaro in a wheelchair; George Del Barrio wants to make a film in Cambodia; Jeff Edwards wants to write a book: they want you to fund their dreams.

A website called Kickstarter.com is making it possible for people like this to raise money from a few hundred to tens of thousands of dollars to fund anything that catches the imagination of Internet users with a little money to spare.

It worked for Emily Richmond, a 24-year-old living in Los Angeles who plans to sail solo around the world for two years. She's raised $ 8,142 from 148 people who'll receive gifts such as photos from the trip or a telephone call when she crosses the equator (赤道).

“This was a perfect learning experience for my daughter,” Landon Ray said, adding that he also dreamed of sailing the world himself.

Jason Bitner‟s plan for $ 7,500 to pay for a film about the small Midwestern town of La Porte, was so popular that it raised $ 12,153. It's about a record of pictures by a photographer who died in 1971. About a third of his supporters were friends and family. Others include people of La Porte but also people from as far as Australia.

“It‟s a creative marketplace,” said Jonathan Scott Chinn, who is collecting $16,500 to make a short film. “You‟re given the opportunity to make yourself known, and if it‟s really interesting, it‟ll take off.”

Independent singer & songwriter Brad Skistimas, 26, has been using the Internet for eight years to promote his one-man band Five Times August. He used Kickstarter to raise $ 20,000 to help his new album Life As A Song.

“It‟s a great way to get in touch with fans,” Skistimas said. “I was marketing to my own fans, so I said „If you want more music from me, now‟s a great time to help me out‟” . 6. According to the text, Kickstarter. com is a website _______. A. to fund people travelling around the world B. to collect money to realize special dreams C. to help people deal with any trouble D. to support its users to communicate online 7. What do we know about Emily Richmond? A. She has finished her solo sail. B. She has planned for two years. C. Her solo sail needs about $ 8,142. D. Her solo sail will last about two years.
