    There are many travel destinations across the globe. What confuses a person most is which travel destination to choose. When choosing a destination for a vacation or a trip, you need to decide what that destination has to offer to you. Meanwhile, you should also take many factors into consideration, so that the decision-making will get easy.
    The amount of money you want to spend is an important factor and plays an important role in deciding a destination. For example, cities like London, New York, Vegas etc are expensive. On the other hand when you travel to Asia, the cost is generally lower and you don’t need to spend much on traveling, lodging or shopping. Therefore, it is important to estimate your budget before selecting a destination.
    When you plan your vacation, another important thing to plan is the number of the days you want to spend. There are many travel destinations in the world that can be covered in a week’s time. Some destinations like Africa, or Maldives beaches can be planned in a week’s time. Some other destinations like New York, Thailand may require more than a few weeks to enjoy completely.
    Vacations are also planned according to the company you have. For example, if you travel with your family, then you’ll need a place where you can enjoy with your family members. Similarly, if you are going with friends, a city full of amusement parks, museums, shopping centers will be an ideal(理想的) destination. Therefore you need to consider whom you are going with, before deciding a destination.

    The French word renaissance means rebirth. It was first used in 1855 by the historian Jules Michelet in his History of France，then adopted by historians of culture，by art historians，and eventually by music historians，all of whom applied it to European culture during the 150 years spanning 1450－1600.The concept of rebirth was appropriate to this period of European history because of the renewed interest in ancient Greek and Roman culture that began in Italy and then spread throughout Europe. Scholars and artists of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries wanted to restore the learning and ideals of the classical civilizations of Greece and Rome. To these scholars this meant a return to human—as opposed to spiritual values. Fulfillment in life—as opposed to concern about an afterlife—became a desirable goal，and expressing the entire range of human emotions and enjoying the pleasures of the senses were no longer frowned(皱眉头) on. Artists and writers now turned to secular(不朽的)as well as religious subject matter and sought to make their works understandable and appealing.
    These changes in outlook deeply affected the musical culture of the Renaissance period—how people thought about music as well as the way music was composed，experienced，discussed，and circulated. They could see the architectural monuments，sculptures(雕塑)，plays，and poems that were being rediscovered，but they could not actually hear ancient music—although they could read the writings of classical philosophers，poets，essayists，and music theorists that were becoming available in translation. They learned about the power of ancient music to move the listener and wondered why modern music did not have the same effect. For example，the influential religious leader Bernardino Cirillo expressed disappointment with the learned music of his time. He urged musicians to follow the example of the sculptors，painters，architects，and scholars who had rediscovered ancient art and literature.
    The musical Renaissance in Europe was more a general cultural movement and state of mind than a specific set of musical techniques. Furthermore，music changed so rapidly during this century and a half—though at different rates in different countries—that we cannot define a single Renaissance style.
    小题1:What is the passage mainly about?
    A．The musical compositions that best illustrate the developments during the European Renaissance.
    B．The musical techniques that were in use during the European Renaissance.
    C．The European Renaissance as a cultural development that included changes in musical style.
    D．The ancient Greek and Roman musical practices used during the European Renaissance.
    小题2:The underlined word “now” in Paragraph 1 refers to ________.
    A．1855
    B．the period of the Renaissance
    C．the time of the classical civilizations of Greece and Rome
    D．the time at which the author wrote the passage
    小题3:It can be inferred from the passage that thinkers of the Renaissance were seeking a rebirth of ________.
    A．spirituality in everyday life
    B．communication among artists across Europe
    C．a cultural emphasis on human values
    D．religious themes in art that would accompany the traditional secular themes
    小题4:What can be inferred about the music of ancient Greece and Rome?
    A．Its effect on listeners was described in a number of classical texts.
    B．It was played on instruments that are familiar to modern audiences.
    C．It expressed more different ideals than classical sculpture，painting and poetry.
    D．It had the same effect on Renaissance audiences as it had when originally performed.
    小题5:According to the passage，why was Bernardino Cirillo disappointed with the music of his time?
    A．It did not contain enough religious themes.
    B．It had little emotional impact on audiences.
    C．It was not complex enough to appeal to musicians.
    D．It was too dependent on the art and literature of his time.

    They say that Mexico is a country no one ever leaves. Every year, millions of tourists pass through. And Mexicans happily warn that a part of them will remain behind forever. Most visitors are vacationing North Americans who go up on the brilliant beaches of Cancun, Acapulco, Mazatlan, and Puerto Vallarta. The beaches, of course, are among the world’s best ----but those who venture (冒险) inland are rewarded with the true soul of Mexico.
    And it is a big soul. The Republic of Mexico is vast, consisting of nearly two million square miles of coastline, desert, rain forest, mountains, and rich plains. From the American borderlands of the wide, agriculturally rich north, the country narrows gently as it sweeps south and east. The two main mountain ranges(山脊), the Sierra Madre Occidental and the Sierra Madre Oriental, hug the west and east, finally merging（融入） into the volcanically active central highlands and the capital, Mexico City - the most populous city in the world. Further south, the country narrows to only 100 miles, then broadens again before reaching the Guatemalan border. There are two major peninsulas (半岛) in Mexico: the Baja Peninsula to the west and the Yucatan peninsular to the east.
    The population is about 106 million. and the generosity (慷慨大方) of the Mexican people is unsurpassed. Knowing a few simple sentences in Spanish will win hearts.
    Mexico has been blessed with an unusually temperate (适度的) climate year-round. The most important thing to remember is that the Mexican summer is also the rainy season, although the rain rarely lasts more than a few hours, and typically arrives in the late afternoon. Extremes(极端)are present only in the North and in Baja, both of which have deserts where the temperature leaps above 100F. Mexico City has a year-round temperature in the high 80s. while the coasts usually stay in the mid-90s. Night time temperatures fall somewhat, but rarely break down below a comfortable 60F.
    小题1:All of the following are names of beaches EXCEPT ___________ .
    A．Puerto VallartaB．CancunC．Guatemalan D．Mazatlan
    小题2:The Republic of Mexico _________.

    It is easy to find your way about in New York. It is laid out so regularly. Instead of streets winding and twisting (迂回) as they do in London, they are all regular and well planned. The streets running north and south are called “avenues” and are numbered, e.g. 1st Avenue, 2nd Avenue, etc. The streets going east and west are called “streets” and are also numbered, e.g. 51st Street, 63rd Street. It is all much more logical (合理的) than London’s street names. But I couldn’t help thinking how much more interesting than these dull cold numbers are London’s illogical but colorful names of streets, e.g. “Bishopgate” (which is not a gate and hasn’t a Bishop in it); “Haymarket” or “Corn market” (where you won’t see any hey or corn) or “Poultry” (without a living chicken anywhere in sight) or “Thread needle Street” (where you won’t find little girls learning to sew).
    小题1:In the second sentence of the passage, “laid out” means ______.
    A．builtB．be putC．designedD．cut down
    小题2:The streets running from north to south are called _______.
    A．avenues in LondonB．streets in America
    C．avenues in New YorkD．streets in London

    A．avenues and streets are the same
    B．streets in America are better than avenues in England
    C．streets in New York are better than those in London

    They say money doesn’t grow on trees. But it certainly appears to do so on the mysterious coin-studded(嵌满) trunks dotted around the UK’s woodland. The strange phenomenon of old trees with coins fixed firmly all over their bark has been spotted on trails from the Peak District to the Scottish Highlands. The coins are usually knocked into felled (砍伐的) tree trunks using stones by passers-by, who hope it will bring them good fortune.
    These fascinating spectacles often have coins from centuries ago buried deep in their bark and warped by the passage of time. The tradition of making offerings to gods at wishing trees dates back hundreds of years, but this combination of the man-made and the natural is far more rare. It used to be believed that god’s spirits lived in trees, and they were often decorated with sweets and gifts — as is still done today at Christmas. The act is like tossing money into ponds for good luck, or the trend for couples to attach “love padlocks” to bridges and fences to symbolize lasting romance. Some pubs, such as the Punch Bowl in Askham, Cumbria, have old timbers with splits in them into which coins are forced for luck. There are seven felled tree trunks with coins pushed into them in the picturesque village of Portmeirion, in Wales.
    Meurig Jones, an estate manager at the tourist destination, told the BBC, “We had no idea why it was being done when we first noticed the tree trunk was being filled with coins. I did some detective work and discovered that trees were sometimes used as ‘wishing trees’. In Britain it dates back to the 1700s — there is one tree somewhere in Scotland which apparently has an old coin stuck into it. ” He said that a sick person could press a coin into a tree and their illness would go away. If someone then takes the coin out though, it’s said they then become ill. We haven’t made it known at all, it’s just happened,” he added. “It’s quite amazing really.” In Scotland, there is also a legend about a kissing tree. If a young man could drive a nail into a tree with one blow, he earned a kiss from his sweetheart.
    小题1:What was the real reason why in UK people knocked coins into the old trees?
    A．It was hoped that it would bring them good future and make the trees more beautiful.
    B．Nobody knew why there was such a strange custom that it could make them lucky.
    C．It might come from the tradition of making offerings to gods hundreds of years ago.
    D．It was said that god’s spirits lived in trees and doing so could please the gods of the trees.
    小题2:The underlined part in Paragraph 2 may mean ____________.
    A．this combination of the man-made and the natural is far from realistic.
    B．the mysterious phenomenon of old trees with coins is rarely seen in the world.
    C．people wanted to make the works of art with the help from the forces of nature.
    D．the appearance of trees would be nicer than their original.
    小题3:The passage mainly tells us that________.
    A．some people attached “love padlocks” to bridges and fences to symbolize lasting romance
    B．a particular way in which people made good wishes is still popular in the UK
    C．visitors tossed money into ponds for good luck just as they knocked coins into the trees
    D．a long history of a strange phenomenon of old trees with coins in the UK
    小题4:Which of the following can be used as the best title for the passage?
    A．Who Says Money Doesn’t Grow on Trees?
    B．Do Trees with Some Coins Become Valuable?
    C．Is It Really Amazing to Have Coins Fixed into Trees?
    D．What Is the Purpose of Knocking Coins into Trees?

    As the railroads and the highways shaped the American West in the past centuries, a new electrical generating(发电)and transmission (输送) system for the 21st century will leave a lasting mark on the West, for better or worse. Much of the real significance of railroads and highways is not in their direct physical effect on the scenery, but in the ways that they affect the surrounding community. The same is true of big solar plants and the power lines that will be laid down to move electricity around.
    The 19 th century saw land grants(政府拨地) offered to railroad companies to build the transcontinental railroads, leaving public land in between privately owned land. In much of the West, some of the railroad sections were developed while others remained undeveloped, and in both cases the landownership has presented unique challenges to land management. With the completion of the interstate highway system, many of the small towns, which sprang up as railway stops and developed well, have lost their lifeblood and died.
    Big solar plants and their power lines will also have effects far beyond their direct footprint in the West. This is not an argument against building them. We need alternative energy badly, and to really take advantage of it we need to be able to move electricity around far more readily than we can now.
    So trade-offs will have to be made. Some scenic spots will be sacrificed. Some species(物种) will be forced to move, or will be carefully moved to special accommodations. Deals will be struck to reduce the immediate effects.
    The lasting effects of these trade-offs are another matter. The 21st century development of the American West as an ideal place for alternative energy is going to throw off a lot of power and money in the region. There are chances for that power and money to do a lot of good. But it is just as likely that they will be spent wastefully and will leave new problems behind, just like the railroads and the highways.
    The money set aside in negotiated trade-offs and the institutions that control it will shape the West far beyond the immediate footprint of power plants and transmission lines. So let’s remember the effects of the railroads and the highways as we construct these new power plants in the West.
    小题1:What was the problem caused by the construction of the railways?
    A．Small towns along the railways became abandoned.
    B．Land in the West was hard to manage.
    C．Some railroad stops remained underused.
    D．Land grants went into private hands.
    小题2:What is the major concern in the development of alternative energy according to the last two paragraphs?
    A．The use of money and power.
    B．The transmission of power.
    C．The conservation of solar energy.
    D．The selection of an ideal place.
    小题3:What is the author’s attitude towards building solar plants?
    A．Disapproving.B．Approving.C．Doubtful.D．Cautious.
    小题4:Which is the best title for the passage?
    A．How the Railways Have Affected the West
    B．How the Effects of Power Plants Can Be Reduced
    C．How Solar Energy Could Reshape the West
    D．How the Problems of the Highways Have Been Settled

    When Christopher Columbus landed on the then unnamed Costa Rica in 1502, he saw many Indians wearing gold earrings. So he thought the land must be rich in gold. He named the place Costa Rica, which means “rich coast” in Spanish.
    Though little gold was found, Costa Rica today is indeed rich with coffee and bananas. Coffee is the most important product in Costa Rica and most of it is exported (出口) to other countries like America and Germany. Bananas are the country’s second most important export.
    Costa Ricans also grow many other crops such as fruits, corn and beans for their own use. Costa Ricans love colors and their houses are painted in bright colors.
    Education is very important to the Costa Ricans. Almost every village has a school and education is a must for children between seven and fourteen years of age. Boys and girls go to separate (单独的) schools. Classes begin in March and end in November.
