Signs in Chinese will be set up in public areas such as airports, to benefit Chinese travelers, the Italian Government announced in late February. Now many European countries are expected to follow this example. Despite the different languages, travel across Europe has never been so simple. Just five years ago, if you wanted to visit Germany in the north and Spain in the south in one trip, you had to wait for weeks to apply for different visas from the two countries. You also needed a calculator because both countries had different money. Today, with a Schengen Visa issued by any member country, you can travel across 15 European countries without stopping. Since 2002, within most of the EU, there is now just one type of money called the Euro. The Euro was designed to be the only money in the EU, and already makes it easier to shop around. If you drive, your driving license and car insurance policy are valid(有效的)in the other European countries. And you can use your mobile phone everywhere. All the countries in the continent are melting into a united Europe under the EU. For Europeans and visitors, the result is that is more convenient to travel back and forth between the different countries. 1. What is the purpose of the passage? A. To encourage us to travel across Europe. B. To suggest that the whole world is melting into one like the EU. C. To praise the tourism policy of the EU. D. To introduce tourism conditions in the EU. 2. By saying the underlined sentence “Now many European countries are expected to follow this example”, the writer means that ________. A. more signs will be set up in Chinese in European countries B. more and more Europeans have a desire to know more about China C. more and more Chinese people will go to travel across Europe D. Chinese is now an important language in Europe 3. Compared to five years ago, traveling in Europe has become easier because ______. A. you needn’t drive a car B. you can use a calculator to exchange money C. applying for different visas is much simpler D. one visa is good enough for traveling in a number of countries 4. It can be inferred from the passage that _________ A. an increasing number of Chinese tend to travel to Europe B. Chinese has become an important language in Europe C. the Euro is the only money used in the EU now D. it is always necessary to unite many countries into one |

B YOU CAN HELP! Everyone was born with his own built-in burglar(窃贼) alarm. It’s called the sense of sight and sound.Unfortunately, many of us go around with the alarm switched off. We don’t see the stranger wandering outside the house next door. We don’t notice the sounds from the flat upstairs. (Weren’t they supposed to be on holiday?) The police can only do so much to prevent crime. There never can be enough of them to guard every home in every town. So they need your help in fighting with the burglars,the vandals(恣意破坏者), and the car thieves. Not, of course, by setting out to have a go every time you see something suspicious. It’ll always be the job of the police to arrest criminals. But by acting as a line of communication between them and your community, for instance, you probably know far more about your immediate neighborhoods than the police ever could. A stranger in someone’s garden would probably be far more obvious to you than it would to even the local police, if, of course, you were on the look-out. That’s the whole idea behind the Neighborhood Watch schemes, springing up around the country to create a spirit of watchfulness within a community, anything suspicious being reported to the police. It’s early days yet, but results so far are very encouraging. The crime figures are already dropping in many of the areas running the scheme. And all due to people like you. 61. The underlined word “them” refers to “______”. A. criminals B. the police C. neighbors D. strangers 62. The advertisement points out that many people______. A. are not ready to help the police B. are not as watchful as they could be C. don’t look after their gardens well D. don’t tell their neighbors about their holidays 63. One of the ways we could help prevent crime is to______. A. turn on the alarm system in our home B. try to stop criminals from escaping C. look out for people behaving suspiciously D. inform the police if we hear noises upstairs 64. The purpose of the advertisement is to __________in their neighborhood. A. ask people to join the police force B. advise people how to protect their homes C. warn people about the increasing risk of crime D. encourage people to be on watch for possible crime |
C Have you noticed that the majority of human beings seem to focus on the negative? Bad news is often seen in the newspapers, television shows and magazines, but good news are often overlooked. I saw a woman I was not very familiar with. She is a beautiful woman; every time I see her, I am struck by the smile on her face that can light up a whole room. So at one time I walked up to her and said, “You know, you are like liquid sunshine! Every time I see you, you give me so much joy.” I was not quite prepared for her reaction. She was blown away. Her eyes seemed about to shed tears, and she said, “That is so sweet! That is the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me!” It was as if nobody had ever told her how beautiful her appearance was. I was extremely moved by the moment I had shared with this woman. Why not take notice of the positive and spread a little sunshine? When you are looking for beauty, you will begin to see it more and more. When you discover it, don’t be afraid to appreciate it. Not only will it make them feel good, it will make you feel good as well. I truly believe the saying, “What goes around, comes around.” When you show kindness and sincerity, you will receive it back. You may even discover — much to your surprise — that you become the friend of someone you would never have expected to get along with. 65. The woman had tears in her eyes because __________. A. the man’s behavior was so rude B. she was nervous about the man’s words C. the man told her the fact she didn’t know D. she was so excited at the man’s praise 66. Which of the following can take the place of the underlined sentence in the third paragraph? A. The wise appreciate one another. B. Respect yourself, or no one else will respect you. C. There is kindness to be found everywhere. D. Everybody should learn to praise others. 67. The best title for the passage probably is _____. A. Pay attention to the positive B. Everyone likes to be praised C. Spread a little sunshine D. Each of us has good points |
