As an Englishspeaking country, you won't be faced with any language barriers. Melbourne is easy to get around because you can walk or bike practically anywhere!ThailandThailand is great for solo travelers—perhaps because it is one of the Buddhist mindsets, which promote equality among the sexes.Why it's a great choice: Thailand is known for its friendly atmosphere, and as a travel hotspot, there are plenty of chances to meet other likeminded travelers. Well known for being very cheap, especially in the north. A good choice if you want to get away on a budget. Thailand has a lot to offer, from the partycentral Bangkok to beautiful beaches and tropical (热带的) jungle.Hong Kong, ChinaHong Kong is a great place to relax for solo travelers as it is full of “Zen Moments”，such as beautiful gardens and Tai Chi classes.Why it's a great choice: Hong Kong is regarded as one of the safest cities in the world. If you're not welltraveled, or perhaps a bit tired of things like language barriers, Hong Kong is a great place to start, as it mixes both Eastern and Western at the same time.Bali, IndonesiaBali is a spiritual place with yoga, spas, healthy food and beaches. The combination of friendly people and splendid visual culture has made Bali number one tourist attraction.Why it's so great: you won't be the only solo traveler in Bali. Everyone is known for being extremely friendly and you're sure to meet some amazing characters along the way. As a Hindu island, Bali is the perfect place for a relaxing and spiritual retreat(静修).

A．valuable B．rareC．infrequent D．missing2．What is putting pressure on the local supply of clean water?A．Dust from the road is making the water dirtier.B．There are too many taps accessing the water.C．The population of the area is growing fast.D．The coming summer will dry up rivers and lakes.3．What is the most serious limitation on Laos’ economic growth?A．The lack of local skilled workers.B．A poor transportation system.C．Too much foreign aid.D．Too many foreign workers.4．What is the best title for the passage?A．Laos：small steps forward. B．Laos：slow­developing nationsC．Laos：least­developed land D．Laos：landlocked countryB(2014·吉林省长春市高中毕业班第一次调研测试)Europe is home to a variety of cultural treasures.Lonely Planet，the world’s largest travel guide publisher，has offered pairs of cities for culture­hungry but time­poor travelers.London and ParisIt takes you about two hours to travel from London to Paris by Eurostar，a high­speed railway service.The two capital cities have been competing in fashion，art and nightlife for decades—but each secretly looks up to the other.No one can doubt the grand and impressive be auty of Paris’ Louvre Museum，but if you want t o save money，you cannot skip the British Museum free to pared with London，Paris has more outdoor attractions such as the beautiful green walkway La Promenade Plantee.In Paris，you’ll see diners linger over red wine.While in London，you can try some afternoon tea，eat fish and chips or salted cake.Vienna and BratislavaAustrian capital Vienna and Slovakia city Bratislava are an hour apart by train.But since they are linked by the Danube River，the best way to travel is by ship.A tour of the two cities is the perfect way to experience everything from 17th century’s Habsburg dynasty splendor to sci­fi restaurants.Vienna is famous for Mozart and imperial palaces.You can appreciate the perfect blending of architecture and nature in the grand Schonbrunn Palace，and reward yourself with a cup of Vienna coffee，which has made its way to the world’s cultural heritage list.Bratislava is best known for its fine dining—the remarkable UFO restaurant.You can enjo y a meat­laden dinner here in an amazing setting.5．What’s the relationship be tween London and Paris according to the text ?

or the game system breaks，we run off to the stores to get it fixed immediately no matter what the cost.Why aren't we willing to fix our earth？Are our televisions and game systems more important to us than where we live？Where shall we continue to live，until the end of time?The earth is our home and cannot be replaced.We must take care of it.We have come up with so much technology that limits us instead of helping us.Take that game system we run torepair.What does it do？It occupies kids' time！The earth has already given kids plenty of entertainment in the forms of fields and hills，forests and plains，water and land.However，instead of using what the earth has given us，and helping kids by giving them exercise as they run around，we decide to ruin kids' minds with game systems that glue them to the screen for hours，and make them ignore their homework and chores.We have polluted this earth by making these things which do not even help us in any way!We have already messed up this world，we have ruined the air，water，and animals that it has so willingly provided for us.We need to stop this destruction of life and bring back the world we had before.It will not be easy，but everybody can help！What about something as simple as turning the lights off when you leave a room？Recycling what can be recycled？Picking up litter？Donating money to an environmental organization？None of these things are very hard.We can't just always say，“Oh，the earth is a mess.Ah，well，those big companies that are polluting so much can stop and fix it.”Instead，we need to help out.It's not only those big companies；it's everyday things that we do too that are ruining the earth.So stop and think about what you can do to make a difference to our world!1．Why does the author mention televisions and game systems in Paragraph 1?A．To make people better aware of the urgency to the protection of the earth.B．To expose the great harm done to the earth by too much technology waste.C．To show the relationship between overuse of those things with early death.D．To remind people to spend less on them and use the saved money in a wiser way.2．It can be inferred from the second paragraph that the author________.A．thinks we must take care of our irreplaceable home－the earthB．thinks running around in fields occupies too much of kids' timeC．takes an extremely negative attitude to things like game systemsD．takes it for granted that technology gives kids plenty of entertainment3．We can clearly feel that the author wrote this passage with deep________.A．anger B．emotionC．sadness D．regret4．What it is the main purpose of this passage?A．To criticize those big companies that ruin the earth.B．To ask people to save kids from the harm done by pollution.C．To give kids plenty of entertainment in a clean environment.D．To call on people to stop ruining the earth.BThe first class of the semester began with the students introducing themselves to their classmates.LizzieValverde，a student from New Jersey，told everyone that she'd been adopted as achild.As Lizzie filled in more details about her life，another student，Katy Olson，from Iowa，began to take notice：“It fits together with a lot of facts that I know.I realized that the classmate across the table could be my real sister.”Ms.Olson said，“I have searched for the information online about my birth mother's identity.Surprisingly，I found that my mom may have an elder daughter，who seemed to be a student at Columbia.”Ms.Olson tried to get in touch with that elder sister but she failed；now she appeared in the same class.Katy came close to Lizzie after class，and faced her with a little doubt.More and more details matched up.Without doubt，they both shared the same mother，Leslie Parker，who had given them up for adoption more than 20 years ago.For her part，Ms.Parker said that it was so fortunate to regain her two daughters，moving her to work on the relations between her and her daughters.“I'm glad I have them again，”she said.The sisters had come from different places to the same college，with the same major，and even then，their unbelievable meeting nearly couldn't happen.Lizzie almost took another course instead.She didn't sign up for the creative writing course until a few minutes before the class began.“Is this real life？”Lizzie wondered aloud to the Times.We know some seemingly unbelievable meetings are as real as the story goes—and they happen more often than reason says they should.5．Katy and Lizzie first met ________.A．through an online videoB．in their first class at collegeC．at their birth mother Leslie's homeD．at Lizzie's high school6．Katy surfed the Internet in order to ________.A．find out who her birth mother wasB．know where her birth mother wasC．get in touch with her elder sisterD．ensure whether Lizzie was in Columbia7．What is Leslie's attitude towards finding her two daughters?A．She was moved and really happy.B．She was unexpected but accepted.C．She felt disappointed and sad.D．She didn't have any

But an increasing number of Europeans are choosing to be so at an ever earlier age. This isn't the stuff of gloomy philosophical contemplations, but a fact of Europe's new economic landscape, embraced by sociologists, real­estate developers and ad executives alike. Theshift away from family life to solo lifestyle, observes a French sociologist, is part of the “irresistible momentum of individualism” over the last century. The communications revolution, the shift from a business culture of stability to oneof mobility and the mass entry of women into the workforce have greatly wreaked havoc on(扰乱) Europeans' private lives.Europe's new economic climate has largely fostered the trend towards independen ce. The current generation of home­aloners came of age during Europe's shift from social democracy to the sharper, more individualistic climate of American style capitalism. Raised in an era of privatization and increased consumer choice, today's tech­savvy(精通技术的) workers have embraced a freemarket in love as well as economics. Modern Europeans are rich enough to afford to live alone, and temperamentally independent enough to want to do so.Once upon a time, people who lived alone tended to be those on either side of marriage—twenty something professionals or widowed senior citizens. While pensioners, particularly elderly women, make up a large proportion of those livingalone, the newest group of singles are high earners in their 30s and 40s who increasingly view living alone as a lifestyle choice. Living alone was conceived to be negative—dark and cold, while being together suggested warmth and light. But then came along the idea of singles. They were young, beautiful, and strong! Now, young people want to live alone.The booming economy means people are working harder than ever. And thatdoesn't leave much room for relationships. Pimpi Arroyo, a 35­year­old composer who lives alone in a house in Paris, says he hasn't got time to get lonely because he has too much work. “I have deadlines which would make life with someone else fairly difficult.” Only an ideal woman would make him change his lifestyle, he says. Kaufmann, author of a recent book called The Single Woman and Prince Charming, thinks this fierce new individualism means that people expect more and more of mates, so relationships don't last long—if they start at all. Eppendorf, a blond Berliner with a deep tan, teaches grade school in the mornings. In the afternoon she sunbathes or sleeps, resting up for going dancing. Just shy of 50, she says she'd never have wanted to do what her mother did—give up a career to raise a family.

Traditionally, the church and the pub are at the heart of any village or town, where the people gather together to socialize and exchange news.As a result, British pubs are often old and well preserved. Many of them have become historicists. The most famous example is the pub in the city of Nottingham called “The Old Trip to Jerusalem”，which dates back to the year 1189 AD and is probably the oldest pub in England.However, British pubs are not just for kings and queens; they welcome people from all classes and parts of society. On a cold night, the pub's landlord or landlady can always find a warm place for you by the fire. There is always honest and hearty food and plenty of drink available at an affordable price.That's how things used to be. Things are beginning to change. It is said that the creditcrunch(信贷紧缩) is causing 39 British pubs a week to go out of business. People do not have enough spare money to spend on beer. Recently, the UK government banned (禁止) smoking in all pubs, and that may also have affected the number of customers going to pubs.This decline(衰退) is happening despite the fact that in 2005 the UK government started to allow pubs to stay open after 11 p．m. Previously, with 11 p．m. as closing time, customers would have to drink quite quickly, meaning they sometimes got more drunk than they would if allowed to drink slo wly. The British habit of drinking a lot very quickly is known as “binge drinking”，and it causes long-term health problems for people and problems with violent crime for communities.In order to save their businesses, pubs are trying to change with the market. British pubs now offer something for everyone. A lot of pubs used to be “Working Men's Clubs”，meaning that women could not usually enter. Today, however, women can freely enter 99% of pubs without experiencing any problems. Perhaps things are changing for the better after all.1．The passage mainly tells us something about ________.A．the long history of British pubsB．the decline of British pubsC．the past and present of British pubsD．the importance of British pubs2．Which may not be the cause of the decline of British pubs?A．The credit crunch.B．The present closing time.C．The ban of smoking. D．Having no spare money.3．We can infer from the passage that ________.A．binge drinking means drinking less beerB．British people used to like drinking slowlyC．closing the pubs early will reduce social problemsD．British government aims to discourage people from binge drinking4．We can see from the last Paragraph that the author ______.A．holds an optimistic attitude towards the British pubsB．is against the admission of too many women to the pubsC．thinks that women in the pubs will cause less social problemsD．thinks that British pubs should offer everything you needⅢ.七选五If you're looking for a challenging situation to practice your English, pick up the phone. Not being able to see the other person and the body language can make the chatting difficult. __1__ Here are some tips to guide you through an average phone conversation in English.1．GreetingsEvery phone call should begin with a polite gree ting such as “Hi, how've you been？” or “Nice to hear from you”. Even if you're calling a business contact for a specific purpose, it'd be rude to jump right into business. __2__2．Getting to the pointThere always comes the point where you want to move on from friendly chatting and get down to business. What should you do in this situation? __3__ However, if you are waiting to find out why someone called you, you can guide the conversation by saying “So what can I do for you？”3．Interrupting without offenceSometimes you may happen to be speaking with a very talkative person. __4__ Keep in mind when you'd like to interrupt, be sure to do it politely. For example, begin with “I'd like to say something here”．4．Closing the callThis can be the trickiest part of the conversation! It may be the time to offer good wishes if it's appropriate. __5__ Sometimes it's easiest to just say you enjoyed speaking to the other person. Also remember cleverly saying the word well at the beginning of a sentence can indicate you're ready to end the conversation.A．Use the phrase “I'm just calling to...” to change to the topic at hand.B．Additionally, you may want to confirm any plans you've made.C．You should make a little small talk at the beginning.D．You'd better greet him or her in a friendly way.E．So it may be difficult to get a word in.F．Practice English through phone calls.G．Never fear, though!Ⅳ.语法填空阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容(不多于3个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。

The children were surveyed between 2003 and 2007.The researchers defined adequate physical activity as at least an hour of exercise outside of gym class at least five days a week. Children who spent three or more hours a day watching TV，playing computer games, or chatting with friends—aside from time in school or time spent doing homework—were classified as sedentary.The researchers found only one quarter of the boys and 15 percent of the girls were getting enough exercise by these definitions. A quarter of boys and nearly 30 percent of girls were sedentary and didn't get enough exercise with girls less active than boys in every country aside from Zambia.Uruguay had the highest percentage of active boys, at 42 percent, while Zambia had the lowest, at 8 percent. Girls from India were the most active, with 37 percent meeting exercise recommendation, while girls from Egypt were the least active, with just 4 percent getting adequate exercise. Children in Myanmar were the least sedentary, with 13 percent of boys and 8 percent of girls classified as sedentary. The most sedentary nations were St. Lucia and the Cayman Islands, with 58 percent of boys and 64 percent of girls spending at least three hours a day in sedentary activities.People show deep concern for kids' lack of physical activity in various nations. Why do they have a low level of physical activity? Guthold speculated(推测)that urbanization(都市化) could be a factor as well as access to cars and TVs.11．If you are sedentary, you________．A．are a diligent student spending much time doing homeworkB．have at least an hour of exercise outdoors every dayC．like watching TV and playing computer gamesD．spend a lot of time sitting down and not moving12．Which statement is TRUE about the finding of the study, led by Regina Guthold?A．Most children around the world don't meet the exercise recommendation.B．Girls in every country are no more active than boys.C．Children in rich countries relatively get less physical activities.D．Only 4 percent of the girls from Egypt are not active in exercise.13．Which could be the best title of the passage?A．American children are addicted to TVs and computersB．Nearly one third of children globally are couch potatoesC．Effects of physical activities on healthD．Unimaginable standard of physical health14．What would the writer be most likely to discuss in detail in the following paragraphs?A．The suitable amount of physical activities for students.B．Some of the factors for the popularity of cars and TVs among the kids.C．The reasons behind the lack of physical activities.D．The ways to make the most of physical activities.BOur lives were supposed to be more flexible and family­friendly thanks to the technology at our fingertips. But in this age of BlackBerrys, recession pressures, working at home after hours and on weekends, family time may not be working out the way we thought.Busy parents who expected more time with the kids are finding that more work hours at home don't necessarily translate into quality time with them.A new generation of parents need to discover the meaning of “quality time”，researchers say. “Personally, just given the life I l ead, I think there is something to this idea of quality time—spending productive time with children vs. just being around，” says Peter Brandon, a professor at Carleton College. He says engaging or interacting with a child in activities such as reading or playing counts as quality time rather than “passive monitoring”， such as washing the dishes while the child is watching TV.“This_time_with_children_pays_off，” Brandon says. He notes that good parent­child relationships result in children being happier and more successful, including at school.As parents struggle to be more available to their kids, new research on work and family schedules to be presented Friday at the meeting in Dallas includes a study that shows parents' availability is on the decline because more parents are in the workforce. Although parents today may be spending more time on child care, they are less available overall.Working parents who spend less time with their children should try to make sure the time they do spend is communicating with them, vs. doing the dishes or spending more time on themselves, Brandon says “The trade­off is not necessarily taking away time from your kid，” he says, “You're taking away time from other things.”15．The first paragraph mainly intends to tell us that ________．A．technology lets parents work at homeB．parents are satisfied with their workC．technology makes our lives much easierD．the family time is not always satisfying16．We can learn from the third paragraph that ________．A．some families are not experiencing quality timeB．it's enough for parents to stay with their childrenC．parents enjoy eng aging in work­at­home activitiesD．working hours at home can transform into quality time17．According to Brandon, the quality time means ________．A．just being around with childrenB．work time is separate from family timeC．spending interactive time with childrenD．letting the children do whatever they want to do18．The underlined sentence “This time with children pays off”means________．A．the time with children is of little valueB．the time with children costs quite a lotC．the time with children leads to good resultD．the time with children has a bad effect on themⅢ.完成句子19．As my secretary, your duty ____________ filing the papers and answering the calls.
