The biggest adventure I' ve ever had was trekking in Thailand. We hired a guide (16) to take us to a village in the jungle. We didn't

know that he (17) had never been there before. (18) Unless we reached the village, we wouldn't be able to find somewhere to sleep, (19) so we wanted to get there in about 8 hours. After two hours we all realized we were lost. The (20) further we walked, the more fused we became. Luckily after a further 4 hours we met some hunters. They didn't speak the same language as our guide, but we were able to (21) get across that we were lost. They (22) redirected us towards the village. It was after dark when we arrived there. We had been walking (23) for over 14 hours and we were (24) absolutely exhausted. We had been very lucky; if we (25) hadn't met the hunters, we would have had to sleep in the jungle.

第三部分完形填空(每题2分，共20分)

I was travelling alone in Western Australia last year, and one day i set off to climb a high peak in that area. Although in the summer there are many tourists, 1 was there out of season because there weren't any tour groups. Soon after I reached the top, it began to drizzle and the fog came down . Very soon, it was so thick that path. 1 take my phone with me everywhere because you never know when you will need it.

Eventually I called my dad, who was 9,000 miles away in the UK. He told me to phone the local emergency services, but I felt so stupid that I didn't want to. Luckily , my dad realised this and made up his mind to call them himself. The rescuers called me on mobile to find out exactly where I was, but unfortunately the battery ran out after five seds. I lay down under a rock and waited--it was nearly night time and I was cold and wet. Just as they were about to call off the search for the night, they found me. Fortunately one rescuer had said 'Let's try for just five more minutes. ' If they had given up, I would have died.

短文理解l

Some office procedures may be unfamiliar if you are a new comer in America.

Again, matters of time and pace crop up. Work days officially start at 9:00 A.M. This should really mean 9 o'clock-not ten past or half past nine. You will find some people feel free with starting time, but employers notice this even though they do not necessarily blame it officially.

Employees in many nations have an idea that one works when the boss is present, but any time he is not there, if there is nothing specific or pressing to do, one can relax by reading the newspaper, doing one's fingernails, or otherwise "passing the time" in a personal way. In America one is being paid for one's time. Employees are expected to find other work if their own desks are dear, to finish anything left from previous days, or to help someone else with his work--but never sit without doing their duty. The employer expects value for the money he is spending. He "owns" your time while he is paying for it. The phrase "time is money," means exactly that. The boss is not asking more of you than he is doing himself; he will quite probably work through lunch hour and even take work home late at night.

Employee's lunch hours should be kept within the given time (unless one is officially discussing company business. ) Long lunch-time absence may be overlooked now and then, but not habitually. Also, although others may start getting ready to leave the office a few minutes earlier, new employees should be careful not to cut the day short. Work until the day officially ends at five o'clock if you are in an office where flexible work time is the accepted procedure. Flexible work hours--starting or ending work earlier or later--are fairly common in Europe but relatively new in the U. S. A.

Some half million Americans are on the system; some people estimate that ten million will have that option sooner or later. The system is designed to ease traffic problems at first. But it adds family time to women workers as a result, for it enables them to choose their time working in an office, thus allowing them more chances to work and take care of their children at the same time. Besides it gives people a greater sense of trol over their lives. A by-product appears to be greater worker productivity, less absenteeism and a higher sense of work ethic.

如果你是在美国一个新来的一些办公程序可能比较陌生。

再次，时间和速度突然出现问题。工作日正式开始在上午09时这应该真的是9点而不是10过去或九时半。你会发现一些人感到自由与起始时间，但雇主注意到这一点，即使他们不一定怪正式。

在许多国家的员工有一个作品的时候，老板是存在的想法，但任何时候他是不存在的，如果没有什么特殊或榨尽，人们可以通过
