| People travel for a lot of reasons. Some travelers go to see places of a long history. Others are looking for cultures, or just want to have their pictures taken in front of famous places. Most European travelers are looking for a sunny beach to lie on. Northern Europeans like to pay a lot of money for the sun because they have so little of it. People of cities like London, Copenhagen and Amsterdam spend much of their winter in the dark because the days are so short, and much of the rest of the year in the rain. This is the reason why the sea attracts them. Every summer many people travel to Mediterranean resorts(度假胜地) and beaches for their vacation. They all come for the same reason: the sun. The large crowds mean lots of money for the countries along the sea. Italy"s hotels are all booked without a break every summer, and also French beaches, Spain"s coastline. The Mediterranean is becoming one of the most polluted seas on earth. But people do not mind much. They don"t go there for clean water and they allow traffic jams and seem to like crowded beaches. No matter how dirty the water is, the coastline still looks beautiful. If the sun shines, it is much better than sitting in the cold rain in those big cities. | |||

| A. they take interest in different cultural and social customs B. they prefer to take pictures before famous places C. they wish to be away from cold, dark and rainy days D. they want to see places of interest | |||

| Harvard University named historian Drew Gilpin Faust as its first female president on Sunday, ending a lengthy and secretive search to find a successor(接任者)to Lawrence Summers . The seven-member Harvard Corporation elected Faust, a noted scholar on History of the American South and dean of Harvard"s Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study, as the university"s 28th president. "This is a great day, and a historic day for Harvard." James R. Houghton, chairman of the presidential search committee, said in a statement. "Drew Faust is an inspiring and accomplished leader, a superb scholar, a dedicated(献身的) teacher, and a wonderful human being." Her selection is noteworthy given the heated debates over Summers" comments that genetic differences between the sexes might help explain the lack of women in top science jobs. Faust has been dean of Radcliffe since 2001, two years after the former women"s college was combined into the university as a research center with a mission to study gender issues(性别问题). Some professors have quietly groused that the 371-year-old university is appointing a fifth president who is not a scientist. No scientist has had the top job since James Bryant Conant retired in 1953; its last four have come from the fields of classics, law, literature and economics. Faust is the first Harvard president who did not receive a degree from the university since Charles Chauncy, a graduate of Cambridge University, who died in office in 1762. She attended the University of Pennsylvania. "Teaching staff turned to her constantly," said Sheldon Hackney, a former president of the University of Pennsylvania and historian who worked closely with Faust. "She"s very clear. She has a sense of humor, but she"s very strong-minded. You come to trust in her because she"s so solid." 1. Which might be the best title for the passage? A. Harvard named its 1st female president. B. History of Harvard University changed. C. Debates on female equality ended. D. Drew Gilpin Faust, a famous woman historian. 2. Lawrence Summers held the view that ________. A. women cannot achieve as much as men in management B. women cannot hold important positions in society C. women can match men in science jobs D. few women make top scientists owing to genes 3. The underlined word "groused" in the 6th paragraph means ________. A. approved B. commented C. complained D. indicated 4. This passage probably appears in a ________. A. biography B. personal letter C. research paper D. newspaper | |||
| 任务型阅读 阅读下列材料,从所给的六个选项(A、B、C、D、E和F)中选出符合各小题要求的最佳选项，选项中有一项为多余选项。 Directions: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need. 1._____ The colored part of the eye is called the iris. There are three basic eye colours ─ brown, blue and green. A few albino people have red or pink eyes, but these are very rare. Many people believe that blue eyes are more delicate than brown eyes. In fact they are just as tough as brown eyes, although they are more sensitive to light. 2.______ We only see part of the eyeball, although the whole eye is as big as a table tennis ball. Light enters the eye through the pupil and passes through the lens. The lens focuses the light onto the retina at the back of the eye. The retina sends the signal to the brain along the optic nerve. The image on the retina is actually upside-down, but the brain corrects it. As we get older our eyesight becomes worse. This happens because the lens isn"t as flexible as when we are young and the eye muscles are weaker. 3._____ Our eyes are the most important of our five senses. We receive 80% of our information about the world through our eyes. We also send signals to other people with our eyes. Some eye signals are unconscious. When we look at something nice, our pupils get bigger. But when we don"t like something, they become smaller. We cry when we are unhappy and sometimes when we are very happy. But we can also control some eye signals. For example, we can wink at someone or raise an eyebrow. Sunglasses make someone appear mysterious or dangerous, because they hide that eyes and so we can"t see the signals. 4._____ We find large eyes more attractive. Children have large eyes in proportion to their heads. Cartoon characters always have large eyes, too. We can"t actually change our eyes, but we can make them look bigger with make-up. Eye make-up isn"t new. Pictures in the Pyramids show that the ancient Egyptians both men and women-used it. False eyelashes can make eyelashes longer. Eye shadow on the eyelids can make the eyes look bigger and more dramatic．Glasses can also make eyes look bigger. 5. _______ We do not normally look into someone"s eyes for long, especially when they are very close. Eye contact can be very threatening, so people only do it when they want to threaten someone. It is also very intimate. This is why lovers gaze into each other"s eyes. It"s also why people don"t look at each other in lifts. A. Ways to beautify eyes B. Proper use of eye contact C. Techniques of sending eye signals D. Colours of people"s eyes E. Functions of different parts of the eye F. Variety of messages conveyed through | |||
| Your friends might be in Australia or may be just down the road, but they are all just a few clicks (点击) away. Life has changed for millions of young people across the world who now make friends online. Whether you use chat-rooms, QQ, MSN or ICQ, you are a member of this group. "I don"t often talk with my parents or grand-parents, but I talk a lot with my old friends on QQ," said Fox"s Shadow, the online name used by a girl student in China. "Most of my classmates use QQ after school." QQ is the biggest messaging service in China. A recorder from Tencent, the company which developed QQ, shows that 4 million people used it one Saturday night in October. And probably Fox"s Shadow was one of them. "I log in(登陆) on Friday nights, and Saturdays when I feel everything around me boring. I usually spend about ten hours chatting on-line every week," she said. "But I never talk with strangers, especially boys or men." Even though she likes chatting, she is careful about making friends with strangers online. "You don"t know who you"re talking to. You should always be careful about whom you believe in online." Many people would like to meet offline when they feel they have got to know someone very well. Fox"s Shadow once met one of her online friends face to face. It was a girl who was a football fan like herself and they went to a football match together. A 16-year-old Beijing boy, named Bart Simon online, dislikes QQ uses. "I used to chat on QQ, but I found that most people were talking about foolish things," he said. Now he chats online in English, using MSN. "I only chat online because I"ve got friends in Japan, the US and Singapore," he said. "I want to learn more about foreign cultures." But he spends little time chatting on QQ as he sees it as a waste of time and money. "If you are really addicted to(沉溺于) it, sometimes you can"t give your mind to your lessons," he said. "And friends in your real life are always more important than those so-called friends you meet online." | |||
