　　In September 2013, the China National Tourism Administration(国家旅游局)issued a new set of tourist guideline in order to improve tourists' behavior when they travel abroad. Although the 64-page handbook contains suggestions for Chinese tourists when traveling at home, the main purpose is to improve the poor reputation(声誉)of Chinese tourists abroad.

　　In 2013, more than 83 million Chinese people traveled overseas, up 18 percent from the year 2012, according to the China Tourism Academy. But even as they travel farther, the Chinese tourists continue to take bad habits with them. From damaging ancient Egyptian temples to letting children defecate(排便)in the middle of airports, Chinese tourists have earned a bad fame. Chinese Vice-Premier Wang Yang even stressed the need for Chinese tourists to behave better while traveling overseas so as to protect China's image abroad.

　　Now with the latest "guidebook", Chinese travelers should have no excuse for rude behavior. According to the guidelines, when using the restroom, Chinese tourists are asked not to forget to flush the toilet after using it.

　　The guidelines also remind tourists of not fighting with others when they want to take pictures at tourist attractions. When flying, the guidelines advise travelers not to take life vests(救生衣)away from airplanes.

　　Chinese tourists are also encouraged to be respectful of local customs wherever they travel. In t

he United Kingdom, for example, it is not polite to ask people "Where are you going?" or

　　"Have you eaten?", the handbook says.

　　Nevertheless, with a very short history of traveling overseas, it is not surprising that many

　　Chinese tourists behave badly on their foreign trips. We should give them time to change.

　　1. What's the main purpose of the new guideline?

　　A. To improve the Chinese tourists' behavior abroad.

　　B. To guide the Chinese tourists how to travel farther.

　　C. To introduce the famous places of interest all over the world.

　　D. To give suggestions to Chinese tourists when traveling at home.

　　2. How many people traveled abroad in 2012?

　　A. About 83 million. B. About 18 million.

　　C. About 98 million. D. About 70 million.

　　3. Which of the following behavior is NOT mentioned in the passage?

　　A. Damaging ancient Egyptian temples.

　　B. Taking life vests away from airplanes.

　　C. Fighting with others when taking pictures.

　　D. Taking photos in areas marked "No photos".

　　4. What are Chinese tourists encouraged to do?

　　A. Respect local customs wherever they travel.

　　B. Try to be polite both at home and abroad.

　　C. Ask questions when they meet with difficulty.

　　D. Take the guidebook with them when traveling abroad.

the poor part, a lot of people never get enough to eat. In the rich part, a lot of people eat too much. In one part,
children are hungry and in the other, a lot of people are fatter and fatter and have to go on diets or do some
exercise to lose weight. For example, a dog or a cat in North America eats better than a child in the poorer
countries.
        The poor countries have some difficult problems. Sometimes the land is too poor to grow anything on.
The land can be got or made better, but a lot of things must be done first. The people must be taught and the
water must be found.
        But rich countries have problems, too. They are not always pleasant places too live in. sometimes the air
is too dirty to breathe and the rivers are too dirty to swim in or to take water. The roads and the streets are full
of people and buses. Cars usually move very slowly. Noise is terrible. A lot of people do not have houses to live
in. some things will have to be done about these problems. The air and the rivers must be cleaned, and more
houses will have to be built. But these can"t be done easily.

Taxes are a big part in the United States. Most Americans pay city taxes, state taxes, social security (安全)
taxes, sales taxes… and the list seems endless. The biggest tax for most Americans is the incomes tax. The
personal income tax is called a "progressive tax", because it takes more from those who earn (挣钱) most. For
example, a person who earns about ＄3,500 a year, will pay a tax of only about 3.5% of earning, but if the
same person earned ＄85,000 a year, he would pay an income tax of 35%. Over years the incomes tax has
become more and more difficult for people to understand. Almost one half of all Americans now have to pay
experts to prepare their tax reports. In fact, preparing taxes and giving tax have become a big industry (工业)
in America.

1. Most Americans pay ______.

[ ]

A. taxes which are too many to list

     1 The family planning policy (“计划生育” 政策) was introduced in 1979 to solve the population problems.
Most couples could have only one child except some special families and those in some special areas.
     2 Usually, all around good student, which was called "thrice good", was given to the students who
were virtuous (品德高尚的), talented and good at PE. It was firstly used in to 1950s by Mao to encourage
young people to keep fit, study well and work hard.
     3 During the early 1990s, state owned company reforms (国有企业改革) were getting tough. The
workers were more than the jobs in most of the cities. Many workers were losing their jobs. "Jobless" was
a hot topic at that time, so the leaders hoped the laid off workers could find new jobs or start up their own
business.

Hong Kong and Macao"s situation after they returned to China. This policy would also be suitable for
Taiwan. There would be one China, but Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan could have their own economies
and political systems.
     5 Lei Feng was a soldier who was happy to help others. He died in an accident in 1962. On March 5th,
1963, Mao wrote a piece, "Learn from comrade Lei Feng", to say the Chinese should help others when
necessary. After that, March 5th became a Volunteer Day.

         Chinatown is the name given to an area in the middle of London. It is just between Leicester Square
and Shaftsbury Avenue. Gerrard Street is at the center and is the most important street in the area. There
is a large Chinese community (社区) with a lot of Chinese restaurants, Chinese supermarkets and shops in
this street.
         In the 1950s, it was a poor area and everything was very cheap. At the same time, the world rice
market changed and thousands of farm workers in Hong Kong lost their jobs. They began arriving in London
to look for work. They found jobs in the restaurants in this area. Many British people liked Chinese food, and
the restaurants were popular.
        These restaurant workers often worked 17 hours a day and had no time to learn English. As more
Chinese arrived, more shops and businesses grew up. Wives came and joined their husbands and children
came and joined their fathers. The community grew, and Chinatown was born.
         In the 1970s and 1980s, British-born Chinese started to have a better education and this brought
economic (经济的) success to the area. Many families moved out of Chinatown, and there was more space
for businesses. Gerrand Street became a street only for visitors and was soon a popular place for tourists.
        Now everyone knows about London"s Chinatown. During the Chinese New Year, the streets are seen
with flags and thousands of Chinese go into the streets. For most of the year, though, Londoners and tourists
go there mainly for the food in the Chinese restaurants. The best restaurants are the ones where the Chinese
eat.

1. Is this Chinatown in the middle of London?
   ________________________________________________
2. Was the area rich or poor in the 1950s?
   ________________________________________________
3. Why did the restaurant workers have no time to learn English?

4. When did British-born Chinese start to have a better education?

     Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. My topic is "____________".
     Now in the 21st century, advertising is more and more important for people. Why? I think it is because
through advertising, people, especially the businessmen, can introduce their products to the people all over
the world. Because of this, many companies spend a lot of money on advertising. As we all know, there are
many advertisements which are very interesting and popular. For example, Michael Jordan made an interesting
advertisement for Nike. From this you can see how the companies make their products known to the world.
     People can make a lot of money through advertising. It is known that many famous singers and movie
stars make money in this way. However, I don"t think this is a good way for them to make money, because
they are not the professional (职业的) advertisers, especially those who advertise in medicine advertisements.
     Nowadays, advertising not only means making the products known, but also means making ourselves
known to people around us. Living today, we have to make people believe in us if we want to do important
jobs. But how can this be done? We should first let other people know our good side: the good habits and
abilities we have. In short, we should always remember to advertise ourselves to others. As I said before,
advertising is not only important for companies but also for everyone, for all human beings. This is the most
interesting thing about advertising.

1. The best topic to fill in the line in the first paragraph is "____________".

A. The Importance of Advertising
B. Making Money through Advertising
C. Advertising Ourselves
D. Advice on Advertisements

2. This passage may be a (an) ____________.

A. advertisement
B. story
C. speech
D. report

3. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT right?

A. Many companies are willing to spend money on advertising.
B. Advertising can make some people rich.
C. People can introduce their products through advertisements.
D. Advertising is not necessary for anyone.

Lien Chan, visited the mainland and three days later, President Hu Jintao held talks with him. This is the first
meeting in 56 years and may help to bring peace across the Taiwan Straits (海峡).
     How much do you know about this beautiful island? The island faces Fujian. The shortest distance from
Taiwan to Fujian is 130 kilometers across the Taiwan Straits. A ship can cover it in four hours.

     Once, communications across the Straits were not so good. In 1979, Beijing put forward an idea that
Taiwanese people should use better ways of communicating and build better business and transportation.

between Taiwan and five mainland cities such as Beijing, Shanghai Nanjing, Guangzhou and Xiamen started up.
     As we all know, Taiwan is always an important part of our country. We are one big family. But some top
leaders in Taiwan like Lee Tenghui and Chen Shuibian have been trying to make Taiwan an independent (独立)
country. This made people on both sides angry, because it goes against the history and the wishes of all the
Chinese.

1. What will Hu Jintao"s talk with Lien Chan bring across the Taiwan Straits?

B. Meetings.
C. Tourism.
D. Peace.

2. How long does it take to go to Taiwan from Fujian by ship?

B. 26 days.
C. 4 hours.
D. 130 hours.

3. Why do most Taiwanese celebrate Chinese traditional festivals?

A. Because they like eating traditional Chinese food very much.
B. Because they are Chinese in fact.
C. Because they would rather celebrate Chinese festivals than Western festivals.
D. Because Chinese traditional festivals are popular in the world now.

4. What made people on both sides angry?

A. There were no important meetings between the leaders on both sides.
B. There was no business and tourism across the Straits for many years.
C. People on both sides couldn"t visit each other by air.
D. Some top leaders in Taiwan have been trying to make Taiwan an independent country.

been greatly improved. Now they have new classrooms, a library and a computer room with 20 computers.

visited a lot of middle schools and neighborhoods. At Beichuan Middle School, Premier Wen embraced a
student named Zheng Haiyang, who lost both of his legs in the earthquake. The students told Premier Wen
that their new school was very beautiful. And they would never forget that it was built with the hearts and

     People usually use modern machines to produce things in large numbers. This method lowers the cost of
their products (产品) and the price of these products in the markets is lower, too. Thus they give us better
values. At the same time, new technology and science are always at work, improving the quality of products.
In this way, better quality products at good values are one after the other being brought to the people of all
income groups.
     As an example of how this works, when facial tissues, pieces of thin soft paper that you use to blow your
nose, were first put on the market in 1924, they were made in small numbers and sold at 60 cents per box of
200. People liked these facial tissues immediately and began asking for them when they went into different
stores.
     Because there was such a market for the product, producers began making tissues in larger and larger
numbers. Because the producers were making tissues in greater numbers, the costs were lowered, so that the
cost of tissues went down. At the same time, the quality of facial tissues was improving, because more
producers went into the business of making tissues, and each producer tried to make his product better than
his competitors (竞争者). Today, instead of costing 60 cents, a box of 200 facial tissues costs around
one-third of that price, and they are both softer and stronger.
     When people are free to compete, when they are free to make more things and make them better, we all
feel much better.

1. How do the makers cut the cost of their products?

A. They cut the price of their products in the supermarkets.
B. They have many different machines in their factories.
C. They improve the quality of their products.
D. They produce things in large numbers.

2. How much does a box of 200 tissues cost today?

A. 80 cents.
B. 60 cents.
C. 40 cents.
D. 20 cents.

3. Why does the writer of the passage set facial tissue as an example?

A. To show how the price of tissues becomes lower.
B. To show how the quality of tissues becomes higher.
C. To tell the readers how the tissues are made.
D. To tell the readers how the tissues are sold.

4. Which is true according to the passage?

A. The more products they make, the better quality the products will be.
B. The lower the price of the products is, the more value we can get.
C. The more products they sell, the less money they make.
D. The freer you are, the better you feel.

are of little value (价值) if they are not read, seen and used.
     While the cost of copying discs is very small, authors, singers and actors have to spend a lot of money
and time making a new product. That"s why they have the right to make money from their work.
     So buying pirated (盗版的) music of Jay Chou and Jolin Tsai is like stealing from them, paying them no
respect for their hard work.
     If Jay Chou cannot make money from his work, he may not make anything else. But those who make
pirated goods are becoming rich without doing any hard work.
     The authors should ask for a fair price for their work. Earlier this year there was much talk about how
much KTV clubs should pay the music companies for using their songs.
     The copyright fee (版权费) also should be fair to the users. That"s good for the music"s popularity and
society as well.

1. What is the author"s attitude towards protecting (保护) intellectual property rights?

A. He is for it. B. He is against it.
C. He doesn"t care about it.
D. The article doesn"t tell us.

2. Which of the following do intellectual property rights not cover?

A. Inventions.
B. Literary and artistic works.
C. Names end pictures.
D. Pirated music.

3. According to the article, which of the following is true?

A. Authors should ask for a high price for their work.
B. The copyright fee should ha fair to users.
C. Authors, singers and actors have no right to make money from their work.
D. Buying pirated music by Jay Chou is very good.

4. What is the best title for the article?

A. Rob a Bank
B. Copyright Fees
C. Say No to pirated Music
D. World Intellectual Property Day

     Most American students have said goodbye to fancy (高档的) fruits these days. In school canteens
across the country, cheaper fruits like apples and oranges have taken their place.
   "People are afraid to spend now," said Linda Morrow, who owns a shoe and handbag store."They don"t
know what the future will bring." During the financial crisis (金融危机), several of the country"s biggest
banks have been forced to sell or close. This has made lots of Americans afraid to buy expensive goods.
     Samira Marino, a restaurant owner in Miami, has found everyone is ordering water instead of juice and
more people are sharing meals.
     In more than two-dozen interviews with The Associated Press across the country last month, Americans
talked about their concerns, from worries about small businesses to doubts (怀疑) about simply making ends
meet (维持生计).
     The crisis began last year. Experts think it was because US banks lend money too easily. Last year a lot
of people and companies,who borrowed money, have found themselves unable to pay it back. This left the
banks, as well as the people who put their money in the banks, without money. Since the banks borrowed
money between themselves and even across borders (国界), the whole world was in trouble.
     This month the US government agreed on a $700 billion plan to try to save the financial market. But no
one is sure whether it will help or not. President George W. Bush has warned it will take some time. Last
week top finance officials from 20 countries promised to work together to find a way out of the money
trouble.

     In the mid 1990"s, people started doing business on the Internet. At that time, there were two kinds of

and in 2000, many businesses were out of business. Why are brick and click companies, like Barnes and
Noble, Toys RUs, and Walmart 50 successful? First, many customers know and trust their names. Their
websites, like Walmart.com, are easy to remember. These companies also have a lot of experience. They
know how to run a successful business.

President Obama has said that he gives each of his seven and ten-year-old daughters just a dollar a week
for their chores, such as setting the table, washing dishes, and cleaning up their play

and bedrooms.
People have different opinions about paying little kids for doing chores or just giving money to them. Some
families think that everyone in the family should do housework, and that kids shouldn"t be paid for doing so.
The supporters (支持者), however, believe that kids should get paid, and that the money they get will help kids
learn important skills of how to use it.
But for those who

China is a large country and has a population of about 1. 3 billion. But most people live in the east and the

even give up the chance of working in big companies in China" coastal (沿海的) cities. For example, Wang
Fei was a student from Qinghua University. Before June, he had received a job offer in Shanghai. However,

     It began with one red paper clip (回形针) and ended with a house. Kyle MacDonald, a 26-year-old
Canadian, got a three-bedroomed house through 14 trades (交换) that started with a single red paper clip.
     Encouraged by Kyle"s successful experience, now more and more young people around the world
are starting their own trading activities. They set up websites where people can trade things they do not
usually use with other people. A website called Peerflix allows people to trade their used DVDs. These
traders usually prefer face-to-face tracing, which means they don"t have to worry about who is going to
pay for the delivery (递送).
     Last year, a young girl in Beijing decided to follow the example of Kyle. She started with a paper clip
and hoped to get a house in the end. After several trades she now has a piano which is worth more than
10,000 yuan. But she may still have a long way to go.
     You may be puzzled about why people are doing this. In fact, everyone in the trade activities gets things
that are useful to them. Just as Kyle said, "What"s more important to a man dying of thirst in the desert-one
million dollars or a glass of water?" Kyle"s words probably show why these trades are popular among young
people.

1. What did Kyle get in the end through 14 trades?
    __________________________________________________________
2. Where can people trade things they do not usually use?

Singapore, July 12------Many people enjoy chewing gum, but in 1992 Singapore decided to make it against
the law. The government said that people were not careful about throwing away used gum. Instead, they
dropped it on sidewalks and on the street where it made a big mess. Chewing gum also got stuck (粘贴) in

     Nowadays more and more people care about the exploitation (开采) of the natural resources, such as oil.
Though there"re many kinds of resources, with the fast increase of population and the appearance of many
more factories, the more we use, the fewer there will be left for the future, Oil is getting less and less year
after year. It"s said that oil can last for only 50 years. Natural gas perhaps will last about 38 years.
     Oil can be used in many ways and it"s difficult to imagine what the modern world will be like without oil.
But oil isn"t easy to find and get out of the earth. Men must study the rocks. When they think the rocks in a
certain place may have oil, a metal tower is built, A machine in the tower cuts a hole down into the ground.
At the same time, a steel pipe is pushed down to stop the sides from falling in and to keep out water. At last
if the men are right, usually the oil rushes up the sides with great force by the pressure of the gas in the top
of the rock, and it rushes high into the air. If the oil catches a light, there will be a terrible fire. So a kind of
cover is fixed on the top of the pipe, and the oil can run out through taps.
    If we make a well near the middle of the oil field, we can also get gas. Such gas is sent through pipes to
towns far away and used in houses and factories like coal gas.
     Today oil is under pressure as never before. The price of oil keeps rising all the time. In many countries,
the governments encourage people to save oil as much as possible.

1. In the second paragraph, the word "it" refers to _____.

A. gas
B. oil
C. rock
D. water

2. Which is the right order of the exploitation of oil?

    b. Study the rocks.
    c. Build a metal tower.
    d. Oil rushes up.

A. b, c, d, a
B. b, a, c, d
C. b, c, a, d
D. b, a, d, c,

3. Which of the following can be true according to the passage?

A. Coal gas can"t be used in houses and factories.
B. Oil is very important in the modern world.
C. Many governments encourage people to waste oil as much as possible.
D. Today oil is under pressure as before.

4. According to the passage, the right picture to show the tendency (趋势) to the amount of oil on the earth
is _____.

5. The best title for the passage is _____.

A. The loss of Oil
B. The Use of Oil
C. The Price of Oil
D. The Exploitation of Oil.
