答案

As summer vacation are coming soon, my classmates are  小题1:is
trying very hardly to get train tickets to go home. But   小题1:hard
I have made up my minds to spend the vacation far from  小题1: mind
home for∧ first time in my life. My parents have agreed  小题1:the
to visiting me, and I will have a different vacation. When 小题1:visit
they came here, I will show them around my university 小题1:come
and the city

as well. I have decided to buy them 小题1:

some nice gifts. It will be a big surprising for them. My 小题1:surprise
parents have done a lot for me, and I think it is high time 小题1:∨
that I did anything special to express my thanks. 小题1:something

解析

76.vacation为单数，故用is;77.hard作副词时为“努力地”，而hardly为“几乎不”；78.固定搭配，make up one’s mind ; 79.for the first time固定搭配；80.agree to do sth; 81.come,全文的基本时态为一般现在时；82.just有“刚刚，仅仅”之意，放在这句意不通；83.此处应为名词，surprising为形容词，surprise为名词；84.此句正确；85.anything为“任何事”，而something为“一些事”。

With a long and well-known history behind it, this well-attended competition is a kind of forerunner of popular television talent contests such as Pop Idol.
B. Sydney Writers’ Festival Sydney, Australia

Held at Sydney’s Wharf 4/5, the annual Sydney Writers’ Festival is the biggest literary event of its kind in Australia and one of the biggest book fairs in the world. Attracting a mix of authors, poets, editors, publishers and book lovers, this is a great event at which people can look through thousands of titles while enjoying workshops, book reading and seminars.

D. Hay Festival Hay on Wye, the United Kingdom

The little market town, Hay, has a population of 1500 and no fewer than 39 bookshops. It bills itself as the world’s first and most distinguished book town, and is, therefore, a perfect place for a literary festival. The festival is a celebration of great writing. There are events including film screenings and musical concerts and the bookshops remain open throughout.
E. Bergen International Festival Bergen, Norway

Founded in 1953, the Bergen International Festival presents an impressive cast of outstanding international artists in the fields of music, ballet, opera and other performing arts.

The main festival venue is the Grieg Hall while the smallest and most unusual is an old trolley bus with seating for just 33 people.
F. Nuits Sonores Lyon, France

Held each May, this relatively new festival brings together some of the biggest club DJs from around the world. The focus is on electronic dance music, but it also embraces all musical forms ranging from hip hop to jazz. For those that want to see daylight hours after a hard night clubbing, there is a wide variety of cultural events during the day ranging from special festival food programmes to films.

阅读下面的短文，并根据短文后的要求答题。(请将答案写在答题卡上相应番号后的横线上) （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
When you take a taxi in the United States, if you sit in the front seat, the driver will be pleased and talk with you all the way. If you sit in the back seat, however, the driver may be unhappy and unwilling to speak.
At first, I thought that this had something to do with different characters (性格) of the drivers. Later, after I’d had more experiences with taxis, I found that it happened very often. Only when I arrived in San Francisco did I ____________.
I went to see Sonia in San Francisco. One day, Sonia drove the car while her husband, Ji An, sat beside her, and I sat behind Ji An. Later, Ji An got out of the car and suggested that I sit where he had been sitting. It’s not a long way, so I told him that it didn’t matter, but Ji An insisted. I had to move, feeling a little strange.
“Do you know why Ji An asked you to sit here?” Sonia asked me. I shook my head. “If you sit in the front, it means that you and I are friends. If you sit in the back, it seems that I’m just your driver and our relationship is of employer and employee.”
With those words, I understood at once why taxi drivers were so pleased when people sat in the front. On the face of it, the only issue was where one sat. As a matter of fact, where to sit also reflected (反映) the degree of one’s respect for the driver.
Although it is true that the relationship between driver and passenger is a business relationship, people still place an emphasis (强调) on respect and friendship beyond any monetary (金钱的) relationship.
