SAN JOSE, COSTA RICA  The city has comfortable weather all year round (15℃ to 26℃). Housing is not very expensive in San Jose. Also, many of the city’s older neighborhoods are very beautiful and have small hotels and cafés.Beautiful mountains are around the city. Lots of people go sightseeing there every year. But air pollution is a problem in the city center.
HONG KONG, CHINA    This lively city—once a small fishing village—is today an international business center. It is an interesting mix of East and West, old and new. Modern tall buildings are next to small temples (庙宇). Popular nightclubs are close to traditional teahouses. Busy people fill the streets at all hours of the day. But outside the city, there are parks for walking or relaxing. Hong Kong is famous for its wonderful native dishes. There’s also food from Europe, North America, and other parts of Asia. However, this small city has a large population of nearly seven million! That’s why housing is often very expensive. Traffic and air pollution are also a problem.

答案

小题1:D
小题1:A
小题1:D
小题1:C
小题1:B
解析

小题1:短文第二段介绍了圣何塞的天气,自然景观及空气污染,没有提到交通问题。D
小题2:通过:Hong Kong is famous for its wonderful native dishes.这句话可以看出A 为最佳选项。
小题3:通过However……后面两句话可以看出香港生活成本高的原因主要是人口多。D
小题4:在二三段末尾都提到了这两个城市的环境污染问题,所以最佳答案为C.
小题5:排除题:通过短文前两句我们可以知道圣何塞和香港只是这两家杂志列出来的城市之一。可知A不对,在介绍香港时没有提到香港的天气,C不对,香港过去是个小渔村。D不对,在短文第二段提到圣何塞城市四周环山,所以正确答案为B。
举一反三
Father’s Day has a very short history. It started because there was a Mother’s Day, and just because some Americans thought that if we had a Mother’s Day, we should also have a Father’s Day. Father’s Day has become important in North America. And businesses(商人) found it was a good way to get people to buy a present for their fathers, a present from their shops.
By the way, very few countries have a Father’s Day, though(虽然) some have a Children’s Day, or a special day for boys and another for girls. More and more countries are having Mother’s Day, so maybe Father’s Day will also become popular before long. Now, what do people in North America do on Father’s Day? The newspapers, radios, and TV tell children what they should do --- buy, buy, buy, buy, buy a Father’s Day present for your father. They even tell a wife to buy, buy, buy, and buy a Father’s Day present --- not for her father but for her husband, even if(即使) he is not yet a father. And they tell grandchildren to buy, buy, buy and buy a Father’s Day present for their grandfathers.
The important thing to remember about Father’s Day is that American children can show their love to their fathers in a more open way.
阅读短文,判断正误,正确的用“T”,错误的用“F”:
小题1:Father’s Day started just because businesses wanted to get a lot of money.
小题2: The word “special” in the second paragraph means “not usual”.
小题3: In America, people have a Father’s Day to show their love for their fathers.
小题4: On Father’s Day, businesses always want people to buy as many as presents.
小题5:It can be learned from the passage that Father’s Day will become more important than Mother’s Day.
