comprehensionA.Choose the best answersIt is exciting to visit different places.As you travel,you will see typical beautiful scenery of the region.Besides,you can meet and make friends with people of different colors and races.You can get to know the customs and living habits of the local people.Today people are so fond of traveling that tourism has become one of the fastest growing industries in most countries.The main reason why people travel is,perhaps for pleasure.For instance,having worked hard throughout the weekdays,people will find a weekend trip to the nearby mountains or beaches to have a real relaxation.For another example,spending an annual(年度的)holiday traveling abroad is an especially satisfying experience for those who do not have much of an opportunity to be away from their homelands.When people return from their travel,they will generally feel fresh and energetic,ready to work harder.Traveling is also one of the best means for learning.You may have read or heard about something but you can never get an accurate picture of it until you see it for yourself.Seeing is believing.Furthermore,ifyou are a careful observer,you can learn much during your travel about the geography,biology and history of the places you visit.No matter how well educated you are,there is always a lot for you to learn through traveling.The knowledge acquired from travel,as you will have found later in your life,is no less valuable than that from any influential(有影响的)reference book.Traveling is one of the most important activities and people have been interested in it for many years. Modern traffic develops fast,so traveling to different places has become much easier than before.Staying healthy while travelling can make your trip happier.But do you know how to keep healthy during a trip?I’m sure you’ve asked this when traveling,“Can I drink the tap water?”It is easy to get confused about where it’s safe to drink and where it’s not,especially if you’re planning a multi-destination trip. Some countries like India and Mexico are well known for unsafe tap water but where else is it a health risk?If you want a quick reference for where on the earth the water is safe,we can get a helpful graph(图表).It is created by Just the Flight.All of the information about water safety is based on data from the CDC.The graph also shows pricing for bottled water and beer for each country as well!Have plans to travel to a place where the tap water is deemed(认定的)unsafe?Remember to skip ice in your drinks and avoid uncooked fruit and vegetables unless they’ve been peeled(削皮).Make sure to use bottled water when brushing your teeth as well.Please know that not all of the countries listed on the graph have dirty or polluted water.I know from personal experience:tap water may be safe at different elevations(海拔)and in different areas within a country shown as unsafe on the graph.Finally,further research is required.However,if you fall short of that,you’d better follow the advice on the graph to avoid an uncomfortable case of traveler’s illness.It’s definitely better to be safe than sorry!Be sure not to eat dirty food or bad fruit.Have enough time to take a rest during your trip.69.In the sentence“you can meet and make friends with people of different colors and races.”The underlined word“races”refers to_________.A.matchesB.placesC.nationspetitions70.The main reason why people like travelling is________.A.only for pleasure for themselves and making friends with different people.B.not only for pleasure but also for learning and gaining knowledge of other countries.C.not only for pleasure for themselves but also for enjoying local food.D.only for having a real relaxation and seeing typical beautiful scenery.71.What makes travelling to different places become much easier than before?A.The world becoming smallerB.The fast development of modern trafficC.More and more planes trains and taxisD.People having more money72.Which of the following is right for the last three paragraph?A.Drinking Tap Water is Good for Our Health.B.How Can We Get Tap Water?C.Where on the Earth can You Drink Safe Tap Water?D.It is of great help when traveling.73.What can we learn from the graph?A.It only contains the information about water safety.B.It was created by the CDC.C.It also shows pricing for some kinds of wine.D.It is of great help when traveling.74.The passage is most likely to be found in_________.A.a tourist magazineB.an academic essayC.a news reportD.a short-story collectionB.Choose the words or expressions and complete the passageWhy is setting goals important?Because goals can help you do,be and experience everything you want in life.Instead of just letting life happen to you,goals allow you to make your life happen.Successful people__75__how their life should be and set lots of goals.By setting goals you are taking control of your life.It's like having a map to show you where you want to go.Think of it in this way.There are two drivers.One has a destination in mind(her goal)which can be found on a map.She can drive straight there without any__76__time or wrong turns.The other driver has no goal or destination or map.She starts off at the same time from the same place as the first driver,but she drivers aimlessly around,never getting anywhere,just using up gas.Which driver do you want to be?Winners in life set goals and follow through on them.They decide what they want in life and then get there by making plans and setting goals.__77__people just let life happen by accident.Goals aren’t difficult to set--and they aren’t difficult to reach.It’s up to you to find out what your goals really are.You are the one who must__78__what to achieve and in what direction to aim your life.Research tells us that when we write a goal down,we are more likely to achieve it.Written goals can be__79__regularly,and have more power.Like a contract(合同)with yourself,they are harder to neglect or forget.Also when you write your goals in a particular way you are able to make yourself continuously __80__situations that will bring you nearer to your goal.75. A.imagine B.discuss C.experience D.show76. A.free B.dull C.fixed D.wasted77. A.Lucky B.Young C.Ordinary D.Unsuccessful78. A.practice B.change C.admit D.decide79. A.improved B.reviewed C.set D.reached80. A.aware of B.worried about C.familiar with D.accustomed toC.Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words.There is a famous saying“Time and tide wait for no man.”What is time?Is it a thing to be saved or spent or wasted,like money?Or is it something we have no control over it,like the weather?Is it the same all over the world?That’s an easy question,you say.Wherever you go,a minute is60seconds,an hour is 60minutes,a day is24hours,and so forth.But in America,time is more than that.Americans see time as a valuable resource.Maybe that’s why they like the expression,“Time is money.”Because Americans believe time is a limited resource,they try to keep and m__81__it.People in the US often attend meetings or read books on time management.It seems that they all want to organize their time better.People try their best to press more life out of their time.To Americans,being on time is a way of showing respect for other people’s time.Being more than10 minutes late usually calls for an apology and an e__82__.People who are running late often call ahead to let others know that they can’t be on time.Of course,the less formal(正式的)the situation is,the less important it is to be exactly on time.At informal get-togethers,for example,people often arrive as much as30minutes late.But they usually don’t try that at work.American lifestyles show how much people respect the time of others.When people plan an event, they often set the time days or weeks before it.Once the time is f__83__,it is almost impossible to change it.If people want to come to your house for a friendly visit,they will usually call first to make sure it is convenient.Only very close friends will just“drop by”unannounced.Also,people s__84__call others late at night for fear they might be in bed.The time may be different,but most people think twice about calling after10:00p.m..Even Americans would agree that no one can master time.Time,like money,slips all too easilyt__85__our finger.And time,like the weather,is very hard to predict.However,time is one of like’s most valuable gifts.In fact,time is more valuable than money.Why?Because when money is spent,we can earn it back. H__86__,when time is lost,it will never return.This is the reason why we must value time.The time we have is limited.Every second is precious.We should make full use of our time.But there are a lot of people who do not know the importance of time.They kill away their time chatting, smoking,drinking or gambling.They do not realize that wasting time is s__87__wasting their valuable life.So we should get into the good habit of saving time.Do not leave what can be done today until ziness will not only bring us failure but also lead us to the road of poverty(贫困).D.Answer the questions.Tropical rain forests grow in warm,wet areas.With so much rain the soil in rain forests is very dark and rich for plants to grow.More than half of the tropical plants in the world grow in rain forest. Thousands of animals live in them,too.More than50,000,000people live in the rainforests of the world and most of them do not hurt the forest they live in.They eat the fruits that grow on the forest trees,but they do not cut them down.They kill some animals to eat,but they do not destroy them.In1900,there were1,000,000forest people in the Amazon forest.In1980,there were only200,000.The Yanmomami(亚诺玛米人)live along the rivers of the rainforest in the north of Brazil.They have lived in the forest for about10,000years and they use more than2,000different plants for food.But in the later1950s some strangers came and began looking for gold.They cut down the forest to make roads. They made more than a hundred airports.The Yanimami people lost land and food.Many died because new diseases came to the forest with the strangers.The Yanimami people tried to save their forest,because it was their home.But the people who wanted gold were stronger.Many forest people try to save their forests.Chico Mendes was famous in Brazil because he wanted to keep the forest for his people.“I want the Amazon forest to help all of us–forest people,Brazil,and all the earth,”he said.A few months later,in December1988,people who wanted to cut down the forest killed Chico Mendes.In Borneo,people were cutting down the forest of the Penan people to sell the wood.The Penan people tried to save their rainforest.They made blockades(堵塞)across the roads into the forest.In1987 they closed fifteen roads for eight months.No one cut down any trees during that time.In Panama,the Kuna people saved their forest.They made a forest park which tourists pay to visit.The Gavious people of Brazil use the forest,but they protect it as well.They find and sell the Brazil nuts which grow on the forest trees.88.Most people do not hurt the forests they live in,do they?89.How many people left the Amazon forest from1900to1980?90.What happened to the Yanimami people when new diseases came with the strangers?91.Why did Chico Mendes become famous in Brazil?92.How did the Penan people try to save their rainforest?93.Whose way of protecting the forest do you prefer,the Kuna peoploe’s or the Gavious people’s?Why?
