ARecently Lonely Planet makes up the ten Asian tourist attractions, Shanghai also in the list of magic area.1. Hokkaido, JapanThough known primarily to the outside world for its ski resorts and powdery snow, Hokkaido's year-round beauty might soon become a more familiar sight to foreign visitors. The new bullet-train service from Tokyo should help.2. Shanghai, ChinaThe enormous metropolis of Shanghai -- China's most populous city -- has an historic urban core which sits alongside its status as a contemporary, global financial hub.3. Jeonju, South KoreaHundreds of traditional Korean houses remain in central Jeonju's Hanok village.4. Con Dao Islands, VietnamOnce the site of the infamous Con Dao prison, Vietnam's isolated archipelago of 16 islands known as the Con Dao Islands is starting to become known for its scenery and fresh seafood.5. Hong Kong, ChinaA junk boat set against the famous skyline might be the iconic shot of Hong Kong, but Lonely Planet picked the territory for its natural heritage miles away from Victoria Harbor.6.Ipoh, MalaysiaAround 200 kilometers north of Kuala Lumpur, the former British colonial city is now a foodie destination, where local street food and boutique cafes abound.What’s more, Taiwan is also included in this book. The footbridge which connects small, uninhabited Sanxiantai Island to Taitung is celebrated for its eight looping arches. This coastal county is in Lonely Planet's list of top destinations in Asia to visit in 2016.1. If you want to see beautiful sightseeing by train, you’d better go to______.A. Shanghai, ChinaB.

There are _____ places in China in Lonely Planet's list of top destinations in Asia to visit in 2016.A. 2B. 3C. 4D. 5BI have been watching my daughters play sports since they were four, and have been shocked at how some parents in the crowd behave.At soccer games, when my girls were very young, parents would be screaming at their children to get their heads into the game, to charge, to “get” an opposing player, or to “kill it.” I understand parents want to encourage their children and their team—but at some point it becomes too much.My daughter Grace is a high school and AAU (Association of American Universities) basketball player and a very good one at that. During a recent game, a parent sitting near me was shouting loudly to her daughter, standing up, expressing displeasure about the way her team was playing and, during halftime, speaking loudly about her personal life. After having her in my ear for more than half of the game, I was so put off that I had to move.Admittedly, I am the quiet parent at games. I clap for the schoolgirls when they make wonderful plays. For the most part, however, I remain silent. Shouting out makes them nervous.I asked Grace to weigh in on this, and she tells me: “Some parents become extremely emotionally invested in sports games, which can become a problem for the players. The worst thing is when people point out that ‘crazy parent,’ and they don’t know that’s your parent.”I am all for parent spectators (观众)cheering on their children and the rest of the team. But I hope you can cheer your children on in a positive way. Shouting things like, “Where’s your head?” “Go after her!” is not, in my view, the way to cheer on high school students or younger children.If you have nothing positive to say, hold your tongue. If you find yourself struggling to keep it together, get some fresh air during halftime.4. Unable to stand the mother nearby, the author .A. told her to shut upB. found another seatC. asked Grace for helpD. refused to talk to her5. In Grace’s opinion, crazy parents in the audience will make players feel.A. helplessB. impatientC. frightenedD. ashamed6. The author is against parent spectators .A. keeping silent all the timeB. saying unpleasant wordsC. cheering on the playersD. leaving during halftimeCA lot of us enjoy doing it: you turn on the camera on your mobile phone and hold it at a high position, making your eyes look bigger and your cheekbones more marked out. You turn to your best side and click. There it is --- your selfie.Over the past year, “selfie” has become a well-known term across the globe. This August the Oxford dictionary added the word to their online dictionary and defined it as: “A photograph that one has taken of oneself, typically with a smart phone or webcam and uploaded to a social media website.”Today it’s not difficul t to find social networking pages full of photos people have taken of themselves and their friends. And selfie culture has become especially related to young people. As many as 91 percent of teenagers have posted photos of themselves online, according to a recent survey by the US Pew Research Center.So what are the reasons for the rise of selfie culture?“The craze of the selfie celebrates regular people,” Pamela Rutledge, a professor at the Massachusetts School of Professional Psychology, told V ogue magazine ,“There are many more photographs available now of real people than models.”Posting selfies also allows you to control your image online. “I like having the power to choose how I look, even if I’m making a funny face,” Samantha Barks, 19, a high school student in the US, told V ogue.In addition, selfies “allow for a close friendship for long-distance friends, because you can see each other’s faces every day”, wrote Casey Miller at The Huffington Post.But US psychologist Jill Weber is concerned that selfies might lead to social problems. “There’s a danger that your self-esteem （自尊心）may start to be tied to the comments and ‘likes’ you get when you post a selfie, and they aren’t based on who you are ---they’re based on what you look like,” Weber told V ogue. “When you get nothing or a negative response, your confidence can plummet.”7. The first paragraph is intended to _________.A. introduce the topic of selfieB. describe how to enjoy selfieC. show the importance of selfieD. explain why selfie is popular8. How many reasons for the rise of selfie culture are mentioned in the passage?A. OneB. TwoC. ThreeD. Four9. What is Jill Weber’s opinion about selfies?A. Comments on selfie are based on who you are.B. Others’ response to selfies might affect one’s self-esteem.C. Selfies have more disadvantages than advantages.D. Selfies shouldn’t be encouraged for they lead to social problems.10. The underlined word “plummet” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to __________.A. put upB. calm downC. pick upD. go downDIt is true that people with better education are usually able to get better paying jobs. In other words, they have more chances to choose a good job whil e people with little or no education don’t. It seems that the purpose of education is to make people get jobs. But this isn’t accepted by all people.Some people may think that a person should spend the best years of his life to get education only for a way of living. This was probably one of the earliest reasons of education. In fact, if education is just a way of making a living, people don’t need to spend so much time in school. People can get education for a living in a short time. Subjects like history and geography need not be taught to everyone. Even language and maths need not be taught in detail(详细地), either. Here it is clear that education is much more than teaching a man to get a way of living.Education is well-rounded and it is mainly for improving a man. It is not only to teach him to speak, read and write, but also to develop his creative thinking and other abilities. After that, it is to make him a wise man and thankfully enjoy the achievements of human. Education is to make a man lead a better life. Educated people are expected to be able to listen to good music, read good books, watch plays and take an interest in the world.I would agree that making a good living is an important reason for education, but certainly not the most important or the main reason.11. People with little education usually .A. spend a long time in schoolB. have a good chance to get a jobC. spend the best years to choose jobsD. have fewer chances to get a good job12. The earliest education was probably to .A. make a man lead a better lifeB. teach a man to write and readC. make people get a way of livingD. teach people to read good books13.The underlined word “well-rounded” in the passage means ““in Chinese.A. 圆满的B. 崭新的C．公平的 D. 全面的14. It is expected that educated people will be able to .A. accept education as a way of livingB. take an interest in the whole worldC. develop their abilities to make playsD. learn subjects like language and math15. The passage mainly tells us that .A. education should make a man improveB. people can get education in a short timeC. people should be able to get good paying jobsD. all subjects are so important for a way of living第二节：完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（ABCD）中，选出可以填入空白的最佳答案。
