题型：不详难度：来源：
Xu Hui is very excited. The Senior 1 student in a middle school in Beijing will go to South Korea with his parents during the Spring Festival.
“Overseas touring has always been a dream for me,” he said happily.
Nowadays, Chinese people enjoy longer holidays, such as the three “Golden Week Holidays”(the Spring Festival, May Day and National Day). They have more time to travel. Rising incomes also make travelling abroad realistic for ordinary Chinese people.
Nearly 7 million Chinese travelled overseas in 2001, according to the National Tourism Administration(国家旅游局). The most common problem travellers face is how to choose the best routes(路线).
By the end of 2002, Chinese citizens were allowed to travel to 19 foreign countries and regions at their own expense.
The top 10 places included Hong Kong, Macao and Thailand. European countries are also becoming increasingly popular.
“More and more Chinese people have shown interest in travelling to Europe, particularly France and Finland,” said Tan Wen, a general manager of China Youth Travel Service. “Sooner or later, there will be a peak(高峰) in European tours.”
Another consideration is choosing the right travel agencies and finding the best price. The China Consumers’ Association(CCA, 中国消费者协会) offered tips to consumers on choosing the right travel agencies to help prevent a relaxing vacation from turning into a costly disaster.
“Price should not be the single most important factor in choosing a travel agency,” said Zhang Yuanchao, CCA vice-secretary general. Consumers are advised to choose large State travel agencies with good reputations(名声) and official approval to organize overseas tour groups.
Zhang’s association dealt with more than 5, 000 complaints about travel agencies(旅行社) last year. And the majority of the complaints were about random changes in travel routes, bad tour guides, and forced shopping.
Travellers were warned to look carefully at their contracts(合同) with agencies and to buy travel insurance(保险).

解析
试题分析：中国人旅游的时间多了；收入又持续增长使得去国外旅游成为可能。去国外旅行最总要考虑自己经济能力。找一个靠得住的旅行社很不错。在选择旅行社时，每年都有很多的投诉，其中有中国消费者协会向消费者提供建议选择正确的旅行社以帮助不让一个放松的假期变成一个代价高的灾难。
小题1:细节理解题。根据第三段段意：中国人旅游的时间多了；收入又持续增长使得去国外旅游成为可能。据此判断文章提到中国人去国外旅游原因有二。故选A。
小题2:推测判断题。根据第二段: Rising incomes also make travelling abroad realistic for ordinary Chinese people.(收入又持续增长使得普通的中国人去国外旅游成为现实。）和Price should not be the single most important factor in choosing a travel agency.（价格不应该成为选择旅行社的一个重要的理由。）判断:中国游客考虑的最大的问题应该是花费。结合常识理解D最佳。
小题3:推测判断题。根据第八段的The China Consumers’ Association(CCA, ) offered tips to consumers on choosing the right travel agencies to help prevent a relaxing vacation from turning into a costly disaster. （中国消费者协会向消费者提供建议选择正确的旅行社以帮助不让一个放松的假期变成一个代价高的灾难。故选B。
小题4:词义猜测题。把四个选项的意思代替random changes带入原句：And the majority of the complaints were about random changes in travel routes, bad tour guides, and forced shopping. （大多数的抱怨是关于随意改变旅游路线，旅游向导很糟糕，还有强迫购物。）推断：如果游客同意改变就不会有抱怨，所以排除A；如果旅行社按计划不做任何改变，那么也不会有抱怨产生，所以排除B；C意为旅行社拒绝改变路线，也和抱怨的意思相违背。通过排除法判断选D。
小题5:归纳大意题。分析四个选项，结合文章大意判断：想给中国游客一些建与文章的大意更贴近。故选D 。 |

One afternoon I toured an art museum while waiting for my husband to finish a business meeting．I was looking forward to a quiet 36 of the splendid artwork．
A young 37 viewing the paintings ahead of me 38 nonstop between themselves．I watched them a moment and decided the lady was doing all the talking．I admired the man"s 39 for putting up with her 40 stream of words． 41 by their noise, I moved on．
I met them several times as I moved 42 the various rooms of art．Each time I heard her continuous flow of words, I moved away 43 .
I was standing at the counter of the museum gift shop making a 44 when the couple approached the 45 ．Before they left, the man 46 into his pocket and pulled out a white object．He 47 it into a long stick and then 48 his way into the coatroom to get his wife"s jacket．
"He"s a 49 man, " the clerk at the counter said．" Most of us would give up if we were blinded at such a young age．During his recovery, he made a promise his life wouldn"t change．So, as before, he and his wife come in 50 there is a new art show．"

“Choo，Choo！”Here comes the Chunnel train. Get aboard if you want to learn more about this underground transportation system. This is an unusual form of transportation, because it is a tunnel that trains travel through and not an actual form of transportation.
The Chunnel is actually the English nickname for the Channel Tunnel. In French，it is called le tunnel sous la Manche. It is a rail tunnel beneath the English Channel at the Straits of Dover. It connects Cheriton in Kent, England with Sangatte in northern France. It is the second longest rail tunnel in the world.
Did you know that the British and the French had a race while they were building the Chunnel? The race was to see who could get to the middle of the tunnel first. The British won by a little bit. It took 15,000 workers over seven years to dig the tunnel. The tunnel was finished in 1994.
The completed Chunnel cost about $21 billion. But it all paid off, because it became very popular, very quick. Millions of people use it. Now it is getting even more popular.
There are three complete tunnels in the Chunnel. The two outside ones are the passenger trains. The small inner one is a guidance train. The guidance train is not used for transportation. Each track is exactly parallel to each other.
There are four different train systems in the Chunnel. The Eurostar is a high speed passenger service that connects London, Paris, Brussels and Lille. The Eurotunnel shuttle is a rail ferry service. These shuttles carry cars and vans. These are railcars that allow drivers to drive their vehicles on and off. There are also two Eurotunnel goods service trains.
Now you know more about the Chunnel. Everybody off，this is the last stop.
小题1:The Channel Tunnel links ________with________.| A．London; Paris | B．Cheriton; Sangatte | | C．Lille; Brussels | D．Dover; Kent |
小题2:Which of the following shows the structure of the tunnels in the Chunnel?
小题3:The Eurotunnel shuttle is intended to carry________.| A．passengers | B．drivers and their vehicles | | C．goods | D．staff members of the Chunnel |
小题4:The text can most probably be ________.| A．found in a guidebook | B．read in a magazine | | C．broadcast on a train | D．heard in a railway station |

Heading off to college this year? Here are some fashion tips from our experts you should keep in mind;
Dress to impress: Stylist and business consultant Daniela Smith says, "Girls should keep in mind that your college professors will often be the bridge that connects you to your future career and your classmates will become your professional．network． You don"t need to dress like you"re going to the office, but you should display an ability to properly present yourself with appropriate maturity and confidence, and look put-together．"
Lo go mania（品牌热症）: Wearing the logos of brands aimed at younger customers physically identifies you as part of that age group, so consider the targeted age group of the stores you shop at．It"s tempting to load up on logos, especially well-known logos that signify high-end brands．But consider this: college is a time of self-discovery, a chance to develop your own personal style．Instead of wearing logos head to toe, "walking advertisement"-style, why not express who you really are?
Wear real pants: The combination of leggings and baggy shirts is all too common on college campuses．Smith points out that leggings, yoga pants, and sweatpants are entirely unacceptable in public unless you"re exercising． Although leggings worn as pants are a common trend among high school and college girls, they are not an appropriate choice for daywear; As a young woman, your style choice should begin to reflect your maturity level．So, get rid of leggings and wear real pants!
Keep the cute factor to a minimum: Stay away from sweaters and T-shirts with smiling animals, cartoon characters, or Hello Kitty on them．Sure, kittens might be cute, but they"re not doing you any favors in the style department．Dressing too cutesy can take years off your look, and not necessarily in a good way!
小题1:The second paragraph indicates the importance of .| A．impressing professors | B．getting on well with classmates | | C．creating a professional image | D．dressing appropriately |
小题2:The author believes that college girls should .| A．choose a logo that suits their age | | B．try to load up on well-known logos | | C．use logos to show who they are | | D．find their identity by trying different logos |
小题3:In which magazine would you most likely find this passage?| A．Business Week． | B．Parents | | C．In style． | D．Travel&Leisure |

McDonald"s is the world single biggest food provider with annual sales of around $12.4bn. And the company"s symbol Ronald McDonald is now （or so the company claims） the world"s most recognized person after Santa Claus.
The first McDonald"s restaurant was opened in San Bernardino, California, in 1948 by brothers Mac and Richard “Dick” McDonald. Mac ran the restaurant side; Dick was the marketing genius. He had already invented the drive-in laundry and had been the first person to use neon lights in advertising. Now he spotted the gap in the post-war, baby-boom market for cheap, family-orientated restaurants with simple menus, standardized food and efficient service.
After a slow start, business began to boom. By 1954, the brothers were joined by another entrepreneur, a kitchen equipment salesman called Ray A Kroc who owned the franchise to the Multimixer, milk shake maker used throughout the McDonald"s chain. A year later, Kroc had bought the McDonald brothers" chain of 25 franchises for the equivalent of around $70m（￡44m）. Dick remained with the company until the Seventies, when he and Kroc fell out over Kroc"s claim that the chain was his creation.
Today, an almost Stalinist cult of personality surrounds Kroc （who died in 1984） at McDonald"s, while the brothers who gave the company its name have all but been written out of its history. But though Kroc did not found McDonald"s, he was certainly responsible for the empire-building philosophy which led to its world domination. He ushered in such essential contributions to international cuisine as the Big Mac （1968） and the Egg McMuffin （1973）; and helped launch Ronald McDonald —— “in any language he means fun” —— on to television in 1963.
Every three hours, a new McDonald"s franchise opens somewhere in the world; it can be found in more than 100 countries including India （vegetarian-only to avoid offending the non-beef-eating populace） and Israel （non kosher, despite fierce local objection）. McDonald"s chain embodied the thrusting, can-do spirit of Fifties America with staff mottoes such as “If you"ve got time to lean, you"ve got time to clean.”
小题1:McDonald"s was founded _____.| A．by a kitchen equipment salesman | | B．in California | | C．by a marketing genius called Dick McDonald | | D．after the first World War |
小题2:What do we know about McDonald"s brothers?| A．They were not McDonald"s founders although they named the restaurant. | | B．Their business was still in depression after several years. | | C．They had clear job separation on business. | | D．They sold their restaurant to a salesman in 1954. |
小题3:Which is not Kroc"s contribution to McDonald"s ?| A．He launched the restaurant image Ronald McDonald on to television. | | B．Under his lead, international cuisine as the Big Mac and the Egg McMuffin earned worldwide fame | | C．He spotted the gap in postwar market for cheap, family-orientated restaurants. | | D．He built McDonald"s empire with a philosophy which led to its world domination. |
小题4:Which statement is true according to the passage?| A．The single biggest food provider was however, not named after its founder | | B．The international cuisine as the Big Mac, a beef hamburger, is provided every chain restaurant in the world. | | C．Employees in McDonald"s have no time to lean. | | D．The symbol Ronald McDonald, means fun in any language, is said to the world most recognized person after Santa Claus. |
