      We've found that eating habits vary(变化) so much that it does not make sense to include meals in the price of our tours. We want to give you the freedom of choosing restaurants and ordering food that suits your taste and budget(预算). 

      As our hotels offer anything from coffee and toast to a full American breakfast at very reasonable prices, it will never be a problem for you to start the day in the way you like best. At lunch stops, your tour guide will show you where you can find salads, soups, and sandwiches.

       Dinner time is your chance to try some local food. Sometimes the tour guide will let you have dinner at a restaurant of your own choice. At other times he or she will recommend a restaurant at your hotel. Years of research have taught us which restaurants reliably serve a good choice of delightful dishes at down-to-earth prices. 

     In Mexico, Alaska, and the Yukon, where your restaurant choice may be limited, we include some meals. The meals provided are clearly stated on the tour pages.

       Being a salesman, the most important thing is to understand people. You’ve got to know what they’re thinking. If you can figure that out, you can get them to do a lot. They come in with an idea about what they want. You get them taking about themselves, about what they like.

      In the end, you can put them into anything you want, if you’re really good. For example, if they need a little car for the city; you send them home a truck. Of course, I wouldn’t really do that. It wouldn’t be right. You’ve got to sell on this job, but you also have to be fair. It’s not fair to take advantage of people too much. There are some people in this business who’d do anything. But I don’t believe in that.

Passage Two   

     Cars are lots of fun, but they could also be dangerous. We have to be careful when we drive them or ride in them.   

     It's always a good idea to put on your seat belt when you're in a car. Why? Think about this example: You put an egg on a skateboard(滑板) and give it a push. If the skateboard hits a stone, it will stop, but the egg won't. It will fly through the air, hit the ground and break.   

     Now, think what would happen if you tied the egg to the skateboard. When the skateboard hits a stone, the egg won't go flying. It will stay safely on the skateboard.    

    Volvo, a famous Swedish carmaker, was the first to use seat belts in 1949. Air bags are also very important for car safety, because sometimes a seat belt isn't enough. If the car is going really fast and runs into something, seat belts could even hurt the people who wear them.    

    Most newer cars have air bags in front of and next to the seats. When a car hits something, its air bags will come out quickly--in less than one second--to keep the people inside safe. 

B-21. We have to be careful in driving a car mainly because it could be _____.

A

little fun

B

a pleasure

C

a lot of trouble

D

a great danger

答案是：

B-24. According to the passage, air bags are another device that _____.

A

adds safety to car driving

B

is going to replace seat belts

C

comes out slowly to function

D

prevents cars from running too fast

答案是：

B-23. Which of the following statements is TRUE?

A

People with seat belts tied will always be safe in cars.

B

Volvo was the first carmaker to use seat belts in cars.

C

Air bags will come out before the cars hit something.

D

All cars have air bags in front of the seats.

答案是：

B-22. The example of an egg on a skateboard is used to show that _____.

A

eggs break easily on a moving skateboard

B

cars should not be stopped suddenly

C

seat belts are important to safety

D

driving is a dangerous act

Passage Three 

    It is important for us to know how to stay safe while traveling in foreign countries. We’ve all heard the stories of travelers having their wallets(钱包) stolen or finding themselves in the wrong part of the town. So you have to be more careful than usual, when traveling abroad. 

    Remember to carry a small amount of cash and a copy of your ID with you at all times. There is no need to bring large amounts of cash with you. When shopping, use your credit card instead. Keep your wallet in your front pocket so that there is no way someone's hand could get in there without your noticing it. 

    Travel with a friend, business partner if possible. It is always better to travel in pairs than to go alone. Know where you’re going. Look at the map before you leave the hotel so that you know where you are going and how to get there. 

    Lock your valuables (贵重物品) either in the safe in your hotel room or in the main hotel safe. 

    Be aware of your surroundings. Look around when walking, and avoid keeping your head low.

阅读Passage One，回答C-16到C-20五个问题。请从A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入题干空白处的最佳选项。 

Passage One 

    It is often difficult for a man to be quite sure how much tax he ought to pay to the government because it depends on so many different things: whether the man is married; how many children he has; whether he supports any relations, how much interest he receives, how much he has spent on his house during the year, and so on. All this makes it difficult to decide exactly how much the tax is. 

    There was an artist who was always very careful to pay the proper amount. 

    One year, after posting his check as usual, he began to wonder if he had paid enough, and after a lot of work, with a pencil and paper, he found that he had not. He thought that he owed the government something. 

    He was just writing another check to send it to the tax collector when the postman dropped a letter into the box at the front door. Opening it, the artist was surprised to find inside it a check for five pounds from the tax collector. The official explained that too much had been paid, and that therefore the difference was now returned to the taxpayer. 

C-16. According to the passage, to decide the exact amount of tax to be paid is _____.

A

simple

B

easy

C

difficult

D

interesting

 Passage One

     Diana Smith thought her family had a workable plan to pay for college for her 21-year-old twin sons: a combination of savings, income, scholarships, and a modest amount of borrowing. Then her husband lost his job, and the plan fell apart. 

  “I have two kids in college, and I want to say “come home,” but at the same time I want to provide them with a good education,” says Diana.

 The Smith family did work out a solution: They asked and received more aid from the school, and each son increased his borrowing to the maximum amount through the federal loan （贷款） program. They will each graduate with a $20,000 debt, but at least they will be able to finish school.

 With unemployment rising, financial aid administrators expect to see more families like the Smiths. More students are applying for aid, and more families expect to need student loans. College administrators are concerned that they will not have enough aid money to go around.

     At the same time, tuition （学费）continues to rise. A report from the National Center for Public Policy and Higher Education found that college tuition and fees increased 439% from 1982 to 2007, while average family income rose just 147%. Student borrowing has more than doubled in the last decade. 

   “If we go on this way for another 25 years, we won’t have an affordable system of higher education,” says Patrick M. Callan, president of the center. “The middle class families have been financing it through debt. They will send kids to college whatever it takes, even if that means a huge amount of debt.”

     Financial aid administrators have been having a hard time as many companies decide that student loans are not profitable enough and have stopped making them. The good news, however, is that federal loans account for about three quarters of student borrowing, and the government says that money will flow uninterrupted. 

D-16. According to Paragraph 1, why did the Smith family’s plan fail?

A

The twins wasted too much money.

B

The father was out of work.

C

Their sayings ran out.

D

The family fell apart.

 Passage Two 

    Falls are the number one cause of death to old people at home. Most old people can live safely at home if they make a few changes. Falls are common as people are getting older. Up to half of home accidents could be prevented by making some very simple changes. Here are a few suggestions.

     Mark trouble spots with bright tapes. The first and last steps on stairs are usually high-risk accident areas. Applying bright tapes and using bright light in these areas would make these spots easier to see.

     Put grab bars(扶手) in the bathroom. A large number of falls occur in the bathroom. This is unfortunate(不幸的) because it's easy to make the area safe from accidents. Putting grab bars in the bathroom gives people something to hang on to. 

    Invest in a personal alarm. A personal alarm can be started if a person falls or otherwise gets in trouble. With the push of a button, the alarm automatically sends a signal, which gets someone to call and see if the person needs help.

 D-21. By making some very simple changes at home, old people _____.

A

are free from home accidents

B

can improve their health

C

are likely to live longer

D

can live more safely

答案是：

     If you are still a student, your financial picture is much different from someone in the workforce. You have not yet started making real money, and your focus is mainly on studies and having fun. However, it is important for you to manage money now because the mistakes you make in college can follow you throughout the rest of your life. Here are three pieces of advice you may want to hear. 

       1. Budgeting in College 

      You should create a budget, now. That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t have fun at all, but plan it in your budget. You do not need to get the latest cell phones, computers and clothes to have a good time. These things can come after you have your first real job. Set limits on all of your spending categories and stick to them, then you will start out on a great path and form good spending habits. 

       2. Credit Cards 

      You do not need a credit card to make it through college. Credit card companies work hard to get college students to sign up. They want to create customer loyalty. It is also common for students to spend more than they can afford before they really understand all what a credit card means. You should be living on a budget and any money that you put on your credit card should be taken from the budget. This will help you to pay off your card in full each month. 

      3. Working in College 

      There are many advantages to working while you are in college. Above all, finding a good college job will make it easier to manage your money. You may also benefit from the employee benefits offered by your company. Then, with a college job, you can gain work experience while at school. It will look great when you begin to apply for jobs. You can choose to only work during the summers so you can focus on studies during the schooldays. You may also take an internship. Your work experience can help you to move from college to work. 

5. Which of the following is NOT the benefit of a college job according to the author?

A

Set limits on all of your spending categories and stick to them, then you will start out on a great path and form good spending habits. 

       2. Credit Cards 

      You do not need a credit card to make it through college. Credit card companies work hard to get college students to sign up. They want to create customer loyalty. It is also common for students to spend more than they can afford before they really understand all what a credit card means. You should be living on a budget and any money that you put on your credit card should be taken from the budget. This will help you to pay off your card in full each month. 

      3. Working in College 

      There are many advantages to working while you are in college. Above all, finding a good college job will make it easier to manage your money. You may also benefit from the employee benefits offered by your company. Then, with a college job, you can gain work experience while at school. It will look great when you begin to apply for jobs. You can choose to only work during the summers so you can focus on studies during the schooldays. You may also take an internship. Your work experience can help you to move from college to work

 4. What’s the author’s suggestion on credit cards?

A

Never use it.

B

Live on a budget.

C

Don’t pay off the card in full each month.

       The school year has begun and it’s easy to be frightened by so much schoolwork. Although it may seem painful to sit down and make a study plan, it really can take away a lot of stress. Here are some tips on making a plan that you can follow:  

        A timetable will help you see how you spend your time every day. For a one- week period, take notes of your daily activities. Record things like when you are at work, school, or home with family. This way you can find days and times that can be devoted to studying.   

       Set priorities. First find out areas in which you’re strong and others in which you need more efforts. Then arrange your time accordingly.  

       Find your goals for each learning period, and develop a plan that can help you achieve those goals. Take into consideration tests, papers, and projects that will take more time than others.   

      Be flexible. When exams are close, cut time on parties, cinemas, etc., so that you can pay more attention to study.  If you can, find time for study by yourself and time for study with friends. Try to choose those who can spend time together with you and those who can help you with your weak subjects.   

     One way to make you follow your plan is to find time for extracurricular activities, such as exercises, hobbies, and joining school clubs. When you are studying, remember to take breaks so that you won’t get bored. After some rest, you will get your mind more active for study.    

      A good study plan can help you get a great start on the way to success. It can make you work better, and improve both your outlook and outcome at school.

D

over 100 dozen items of silk blouses

答案是：

    Diana Smith thought her family had a workable plan to pay for college for her 21-year-old twin sons: a combination of savings, income, scholarships, and a modest amount of borrowing. Then her husband lost his job, and the plan fell apart.

   “I have two kids in college, and I want to say ‘come home,’ but at the same time I want to provide them with a good education,” says Smith.

The Smith family did work out a solution: They asked and received more aid from the schools, and each son increased his borrowing to the maximum amount through the federal loan  program. They will each graduate with $20,000 of debt, but at least they will be able to finish school.

    With unemployment rising, financial aid administrators expect to hear more families like the Smith. More students are applying for aid, and more families expect to need student loans. College administrators are concerned that they will not have enough aid money to go around.

    At the same time, tuition continues to rise. A report from the National Center for Public Policy and Higher Education found that college tuition and fees increased 439% from 1982 to 2007, while average family income rose just 147%. Student borrowing has more than doubled in the last decade,

    “If we go on this way for another 25 years, we won’t have an affordable system of higher education,” says Patrick M. Callan, president of the center. “The middle class families have been financing it through debt. They will send kids to college whatever it takes, even if that means a huge amount of debt.”

    Financial aid administrators have been having a hard time as many companies decide that student loans are not profitable enough and have stopped making them. The good news, however, is that federal loans account for about three quarters of student borrowing, and the government says that money will flow uninterrupted.

 19. What can we learn about the middle class families from the text?

A

They blamed the government for the tuition increase.

B

Their income remained steady in the last decade.

C

They will try their best to send kids to college.

D

Their debts will be paid off within 25 years.

    Mobile phones are the items that a lot of people are having today. However, do we really need to have a mobile phone by our side?

    We could start with the advantages of mobile phones. There are many things that we could do with mobile phones. With the advancement of technology, more and more features are being added to the mobile phones which make them more useful.

For example, while we are driving we can easily pull up our car if we really need to use the phone. Mobile phone manufacturers are reducing the radiation of mobile phones to avoid health risks.

    It is often difficult for a man to be quite sure how much tax he ought to pay to the government because it depends on so many different things: whether the man is married; how many children he has; whether he supports any relations;how much interest he receives; how much he has spent on his house during the year, and so on. All this makes it difficult to decide exactly how much the tax is. 

     There was an artist who was always very careful to pay the proper amount. 

      One year, after posting his check as usual, he began to wonder if he had paid enough, and after a lot of work, with a pencil and paper, he found that he had not. He thought that he owed the government something.

     He was just writing another check to send it to the tax collector when the postman dropped a letter into the box at the front door. Opening it, the artist was surprised to find inside it a check for five pounds from the tax collector. The official explained that too much had been paid, and that therefore the difference was now returned to the taxpayer.

how much education one has received

      The invention of telephone has greatly eased the communication among people, but callers should be careful about when to make a phone call or it will cause embarrassments. 

     It is not customary to telephone someone very early in the morning in the USA. If someone is called very early in the morning, while he is shaving or having breakfast, the time of the call indicates great importance of the matter which requires immediate attention of the person called. The same implication is attached to telephone calls made after 11:00 p.m. at night. If someone receives a call during sleeping hours, he assumes it’s an urgency of life or death. The time chosen for the call communicates its importance. Time plays a very important role in our social life as you can imagine. In the USA an invitation should be sent to the guests in advance because guests usually believe that they are not highly regarded if the invitation to a dinner party is extended only three or four days before the party date. But it is not always necessarily true of the case all over the world. In some other countries, it may be taken stupid to make an appointment too far in advance because plans made for a date more than a week away tend to be forgotten. The concept of time varies in different regions of the world. Thus, misunderstandings are sometimes inevitable between men of different cultural backgrounds that treat time differently. Promptness is valued highly in America, for example. A lack of promptness is regarded as being impolite or not being fully responsible. In the US it would be incredible to keep a business partner or a guest waiting for an hour, and it would be too impolite and unacceptable by their social etiquettes. A person who is 5 minutes late is expected to give some words of explanation to the people waiting, though he might not complete his sentence.

 20. From the passage we can infer that _____.

A

it’s a matter of life or death if you call someone in daytime

B

the meaning of time differs in different parts of the world

C

it makes no difference in the US whether you are early or late for a business party

D

if a person is late for a date, he needn’t make any explanation

    Chinese wedding tea ceremony is a tradition that dates back to many centuries ago and is still widely practiced at modern Chinese weddings on the wedding day, either at home or at the banquet.

    It is an official ritual to introduce the newlyweds to each other’s family, and is also a way to show respect and appreciation (感谢) to their parents. Tea is likely served also because it is the national drink ofChina.

    When the tea itself is served, the newlyweds kneel in front of their parents, serving tea to both sides of parents, as well as elder close relatives. Parents give their words of blessing and gifts to the newlyweds. During tea presentation, a “good luck woman” would say lucky phrases to bless the newlyweds and the parents. This “good luck woman” should be someone who is blessed with

a good marriage, healthy children and husband, and living parents.

Newlyweds also present tea to each other, raising the tea cups high to show respect before presenting to each other.

答案是：

       Colors are sometimes called hot, cold, or neutral（中性的）. Red and yellow are said to be hot colors because they make a room feel warmer and the walls nearer to us than they really are. We say that blue and green are cold because they give us the opposite feeling. A neutral color is one that does not seem to affect our feelings. Brown and grey are both neutral, and they may also be mixed with hot or cold colors to reduce their effect on our feelings.

      We can begin to see the importance of color selection. Although red might be perfect for a restaurant, it would be wrong for an art exhibition room, where we want to look at the paintings, not at the walls behind. Because of its effect on size, white could be used to make a small room seem larger, or dark blue to make a large one seem smaller.

      Another way that we sometimes speak of colors is to say that they are loud or quiet. Again we are talking about the feeling that colors give us. We use sound to express how much colors catch our attention.

Some people seem to have a knack（诀窍）for learning languages. They can pick up new vocabulary, master rules of grammar, and learn to write in the new language much more quickly than other people. They do not seem to be any cleverer than others. What makes language learning so much easier for them? Perhaps if we take a close look at these successful language learners, we may discover a few techniques which make language learning easier for them.

       Firstly, successful language learners are independent learners. They do not depend on the book or the teacher; they’d rather discover their own way to learn the language than wait for the teacher to explain everything. They try to find the sentence patterns, the rules and the meaning of new words by themselves. They are good guessers. They look for clues and form their own conclusions. When they guess wrong, they guess again. They try to learn from their mistakes. 

       Besides, successful language learning is active learning. Therefore, successful learners do not wait for a chance to use the language, they look for such a chance. They find people who speak the language and they ask these people to correct them whenever they make a mistake. They will try anything to communicate. They are not afraid to repeat, they are willing to make mistakes and try again. When communication is difficult, they can accept information that is inexact or incomplete. It is more important for them to learn to think in the language than to know every word’s meaning.

       Finally, successful language learners are learners with a purpose. They want to learn the language because they have an interest in the language and the people who speak it. It is necessary for them to learn the language in order to communicate with these people and to learn from them.

14. Why do successful language learners want to learn the language?

A

Because they want to find better jobs.

B

Because they want to get good marks in exams.

C

Because they are interested in the language and the people who speak it.

D

Because they have a knack for learning languages.

答案是：

Today is an extraordinary day for me. When I boarded the plane to New York, I started my adventure toChina. Next school year I will study as an exchange student inChina.

My flight toChinawas the longest journey that I have ever had. I went to the Boston airport really early to catch the 8:32 AM flight. When I got onto the plane, I found it was a very small plane. But the flight was only one hour so it wasn’t too bad. I made the connecting flight in New York. I had to hurry since there was only one hour for me to make the connection. When I rushed to the boarding gate, I was told that our flight was delayed due to poor weather conditions.

Fortunately, I had told my host family in advance to check the latest information of my flight. When I got on board the plane an hour later, everything turned out smooth and pleasant. The flight attendants were very friendly, the food served on the plane was tasty and my aisle seat was really comfortable.

    After a 13-hour flight, I arrive in Beijing finally. Suddenly I saw so many Chinese people and heard so many people speaking Chinese. It was so exciting! Unfortunately I left my passport on the airplane, so I had to go back to find it. Finally I met my host family at the airport. Mr. Han Dongping, the father, works as general manager of a company and his son, Xiaolin, is a college sophomore majoring in Computer Science. They were both kind and friendly.

Today is an extraordinary day for me. When I boarded the plane to New  York, I started my adventure toChina. Next school year I will study as an exchange student inChina.

My flight toChinawas the longest journey that I have ever had. I went to the Boston airport really early to catch the 8:32 AM flight. When I got onto the plane, I found it was a very small plane. But the flight was only one hour so it wasn’t too bad. I made the connecting flight in New York. I had to hurry since there was only one hour for me to make the connection. When I rushed to the boarding gate, I was told that our flight was delayed due to poor weather conditions.

Fortunately, I had told my host family in advance to check the latest information of my flight. When I got on board the plane an hour later, everything turned out smooth and pleasant. The flight attendants were very friendly, the food served on the plane was tasty and my aisle seat was really comfortable.

    After a 13-hour flight, I arrive in Beijing finally. Suddenly I saw so many Chinese people and heard so many people speaking Chinese. It was so exciting! Unfortunately I left my passport on the airplane, so I had to go back to find it. Finally I met my host family at the airport. Mr. Han Dongping, the father, works as general manager of a company and his son, Xiaolin, is a college sophomore majoring in Computer Science. They were both kind and friendly. It was very nice of them to meet me at the airport.

As my first day inChina, today marks the first step that I have taken to realize my dream. I know there would be hardships of living inChina, but I am sure it is going to be a valuable experience of a lifetime.

2. How long did it take Hans to fly from Boston to New York?

答案是：

 In your first year of studying English, you have been learning new words one at a time. But now, because of the nature of the English language, you can actually make your vocabulary grow even faster.

Unlike most of the languages widely studied in the world, English has a vocabulary that is in several layers. The bottom layer is composed of the basic native English words that have always been part of the language. Then there is a mixed layer of words mostly from Greek and Latin. Some of these words came into English through French or Italian or Spanish but their origin was Greek or Latin. Then there is a more recent layer, mostly scientific or technical words intentionally made up from Greek and Latin elements. And mixed in the second and third layers are words from other languages spoken in countries throughout the world --- German, Chinese, Japanese, American Indian, Arabic, Persian, and many others.

In all languages, words exist in set, in what can be thought of as word families. Sometimes, if you know the root form common to the words in a family, you can make a good guess about the general meaning of many words in that family. So knowing just one root form of one word in a family may help you make your vocabulary bigger by leading you to the other members of the family.

But this process won’t work very well with most native English words, that is, those that go back one thousand years or more in the language. Knowing the origin of a word will not help you the figure out its meaning today, for it says nothing of the meaning of the words that historically are in the same family. The ancestor of “deer”, for example, is “deor” in Old English, but the old meaning was any small animal, even a mouse or a rabbit. “Speed” once meant success or power, and “uncouth” meant simply unknown. You need to learn such words one by one.

13. Most native English words _____.

A

have a history of about one thousand years or more

B

 can be learnt according to the root form common to words in a family

C

 can be understood according to the origin of words

D

 have similar meaning as their ancestors

If you are still a student, your financial picture is much different from someone in the workforce. You have not yet started making real money, and your focus is mainly on studies and having fun. However, it is important for you to manage money now because the mistakes you make in college can follow you throughout the rest of your life. Here are three pieces of advice you may want to hear. 1. Budgeting in College You should create a budget, now. That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t have fun at all, but plan it in your budget. You do not need to get the latest cell phones, computers and clothes to have a good time. These things can come after you have your first real job. Set limits on all of your spending categories and stick to them, then you will start out on a great path and form good spending habits. 2. Credit Cards You do not need a credit card to make it through college. Credit card companies work hard to get college students to sign up. They want to create customer loyalty. It is also common for students to spend more than they can afford before they really understand all what a credit card means. You should be living on a budget and any money that you put on your credit card should be taken from the budget. This will help you to pay off your card in full each month. 3. Working in College There are many advantages to working while you are in college. Above all, finding a good college job will make it easier to manage your money. You may also benefit from the employee benefits offered by your company. Then, with a college job, you can gain work experience while at school. It will look great when you begin to apply for jobs. You can choose to only work during the summers so you can focus on studies during the schooldays. You may also take an internship. Your work experience can help you to move from college to work.
