Dear Lucy,
I am very excited to learn that you’re coming to Xi’an for travel. Both my parent miss you a lot. So is our friend, Ruby. April is best time of the year to visit Xi’an. There is only a few rain and the weather is neither too hot or too cold. There are so many places I wanted to take you to after I finish my work like a volunteer in the local charity. When you come, you can stay with ourselves. My house is about three kilometers far away from Xi’an Moslem Street where is full of local foods.
Best regards,
Janet

______ People traveled in search of food and shelter or in order to flee from their enemies.Sometimes they were looking for gold or silver in order to become rich.On other occasions they were searching for rich farmland.
This is not to say that no one ever traveled just for fun.Even in ancient times,some pleasure travel occurred.During a typical season,700,000 tourists would crowd into the ancient city of Rome,where animals performed and magicians entertained them.______
______ International tourist arrivals alone reached as many as 546 million in 1994 and are forecast to rise to 937 million in 2010,according to the World Trade Organization.
______ Probably the most common reason for traveling is related to our physical wellbeing.Actually,traveling to sports events is one of the fastest growing types of travel.In our fast developing society where stress has become part of people's life,people can rest and relax by having a change of environment and activities.
______ No one seems to doubt that travel broadens the mind.In 18th century Europe,young men would go on a Grand Tour to various countries in order to complete their education.Today the desire to travel to different countries is encouraged by modern mass media.People who travel to other countries can at the same time learn more about their own country and culture.
A.Throughout history,most travel was not for pleasure. |

The Loss of Innocence
Innocence is such a precious gift.It’s explained as freedom from guilt or wrong doing.Just imagine never having to worry about anything and having a guilt free mind.Some people wish to save this kind of innocence from being lost from childhood to adulthood.
What would the world be like if innocence were never lost?One way it would benefit humanity is the lack of hatred (仇恨)among the world.During youth,there may be an occasional argument,even a little physical fight,but nothing like firing a handgun at a fellow human being.And children are blind towards the racial differences of others.A kid will hang out with any other kid.It is the lack of innocence and the ignorance we learn from adults that influence children otherwise.Another benefit is the constant desire for fun and adventure.With very little if any time at all for fun,the adventurous mind is lost in time with the responsibilities placed upon adults.If innocence were kept alive,these ambitions would never depart from our lives.
However,other people actually hate the idea of innocence lasting forever.They feel that the lack of organization and mental power of those with innocence would cause extremely destructive consequences to society in general.A large number of individuals would never have the urge to learn,work,and act upon the necessary needs for humanity to survive.Without a proper education which is usually provided by those who no longer live in a world of innocence,people would not have the desire to succeed,get a good job in life,or provide income for their families,which would hurt the lives of children.
The lack of a good education and career would also harm the economy.As long as innocence is kept alive,no one would be terribly angered at the lack of effort people put out in the workplace,resulting in a strong decline in production and quality of needed goods.
Maybe it is wrong in wanting to save innocence.It sure is a nice thought,though.Perhaps innocence was meant to be lost.It was god’s will to make things the way they are,and there is a good purpose for everything.All that remains to be said about innocence is to enjoy it while it lasts.
The author believes that the loss of innocence in adulthood should be _______.
A.avoided |
B.condemned |
C.accepted |
D.inspired |
Lifelong innocence would be beneficial to society in that _______.
A.proper education would be provided |
B.there would be no racial discrimination |
C.more happy families would be guaranteed |
D.people would realize their childhood dreams |
According to the author,people with innocence can hurt the economy with their lack of _____.
A.motivational will |
B.mental ability |
C.adventurous ambitions |
D.needed goods |
Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?
A. |
B. |
C. |
D. |
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
(A)
I had to knock on the taxi to get his attention.Finally,the driver,a man about 60,looked up from behind the wheel and apologized,“I’m sorry,but I was reading a letter.” He sounded as if he had a cold or a cough.
Since I was in no hurry,I told him to finish his letter.He shook his head,explaining that he had already read it several times and almost knew it by heart.Curious,I asked whether it was from a child or maybe a grandchild.“This isn’t family,”he replied.“though he might just as well have been a regular member of the family.Old Ed and I grew up together.”
They were always friends.But since he moved away from the neighborhood 30 years ago,it’d generally just been postcards at Christmas time between them.A couple of weeks ago,Ed died.“I should have kept in touch.” He repeated this,more to himself than to me.To comfort him,I said sometimes we just didn’t seem to find the time.“But we used to find the time,” he said.“Take a look.” He handed the letter over to me.
The first sentence “I’ve been meaning to write for some time,but I’ve always delayed it.” reminded me of myself.It went on to say that he often thought about the good times they had had together.When I read the part where it said “Your friendship really means a lot to me,more than I can say because I’m not good at saying things like that”,I found myself nodding in agreement.
We had gone several kilometers and were almost at my hotel, so I read the last paragraph: “So I thought you’d like to know that I was thinking of you.” And it was ended with “Your Old Friend, Tom.”
“I thought your friend’s name was Ed,” I said.
“I’m Tom,” he explained. “It’s a letter I wrote to Ed before I knew he’d died. I never put it in the mailbox. I guess I should have written it sooner.” His face was pale as he wiped his eyes with a handkerchief.
When I got to my hotel room I didn’t unpack right away.I had to write a letter and post it.
Who wrote the letter?
A.Tom |
B.Old Ed. |
C.The author. |
D.The driver’s grandchild. |
It can be inferred from the passage that the driver regretted_____.
A.missing Ed’s funeral |
B.moving away from his neighborhood |
C.forgetting to send Ed Christmas cards |
D.not being able to keep in touch with Ed |

A.often fails to write to his friends |
B.has no intention to write to his friends |
C.had many great moments with his friends |
D.was good at expressing his feelings to friends |
What message does the passage probably try to convey?
A.Comfort your friends when they are feeling down. |
B.Life is unpredictable so live each day as if it were your last. |
C.Remember to always mail your letters after expressing your words. |

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中, 选出最佳选项。并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑.
A
William Butler Yeats, a most famous Irish writer, was born in Dublin on June 13,1865. His childhood lacked the harmony (和睦) that was typical of a happy family. Later, Yeats shocked his family by saying that he remembered “little of childhood but its pain”. In fact, he inherited (继承) excellent taste in art from his family ——both his father and his brother were painters. But he finally settled on literature , particularly drama (戏剧) and poetry.
Yeats had strong faith in coming of new artistic movements. He set himself the fresh task in founding an Irish national theatre in the late 1890s.His early theatrical experiments, however, were not received favorably at the beginning. He didn’t lose heart, and finally enjoyed success in his poetical drama.
Compared with his dramatic works, Yeats’ poems attract much admiring notice. The subject matter includes love, nature, history, time and aging. Though Yeats generally relied on very traditional forms, he brought modern sensibility to them. As his literary life progressed, his poetry grew finer and richer, which led him to worldwide recognition.
He had not enjoyed a major public life since winning the Nobel Prize in 1923. Yet, he continued writing almost to the end of his life. Had Yeats stopped writing at age 40, he would probably now be valued as a minor poet, for there is no other example in literary history of a poet who produces his greatest works between the ages of 50 and 75. After Yeats’ death in 1939, W.H. Auden wrote, among others, the following lines:
Earth, receive an honored guest:
William Yeats is laid to rest.
Let the Irish vessel (船) lie
Which of the following can describe Yeats’ family?
A.It filled Yeast’s childhood with laughter. |
B.It was shocked by Yeats’ choice. |
C.It was a typically wealthy family. |
D.It had an artistic atmosphere. |
According to the passage, what do we know about Yeats’ life?
A.Yeats founded the first Irish theater. |
B.Yeats stuck to modern forms in his poetry. |
C.Yeats began to produce his best works from the 1910s. |
D.Yeats was not favored by the public until the 1923 Noble Prize. |
What kind of feeling is expressed in W.H. Auden’s lines?
A.Envy | B.Sympathy | C. Emptiness | D.Admiration |
What is the passage mainly about?
A.Yeats’ literary achievements | B.Yeats’ historical influence |
C.Yeats’ artistic ambition | D.Yeats’ national honor |
_______, his mother died, _______ the family even worse off
A.Unfortunately; left | B.Unfortunately; leaving |
C.Unfortunate; to leave | D.Unfortunate; leaving |

My legs don’t do much because I have a serious disease. They just sit there and look pretty. When people look at me, they only see the chair — my wheelchair. I’ve been in one since I was 3 years old. And it doesn’t matter if I graduate at the top of my class and go to law school. To some, I’ll always be the girl in the chair.
But I don’t think of myself as the kid who can’t walk. Most of my friends don’t even notice the chair anymore. I’m just the girl they’ve been friends with. My friends are good at lifting me in and out of my small car when we go to the movies. We even took the car to the dance. One of the boys helped me out of the car and all the girls helped me to fix my dress. Even in the crowded school elevator, there’s always someone around to carry me.
There are a lot of things I can’t do for myself, such as lifting my arms, dressing myself, and feeding myself. Even so, I do very well at school and I always tell myself that I’m just like any other kid in my school.
The truth is that my parents raised me to be proud of my disability(残疾). There are plenty of things I wish I could do differently. I wanted to be a doctor. But that’s not going to work out. So I’ll be a lawyer(律师) instead. I also wanted to dance and play soccer. My parents taught me that I’m like this for a reason — to educate people and show them that this disease affects(侵袭) my bones — not my brain. My friends Erica once said to me, “Kennedy, you’re not disabled. You just can’t walk.”
What does the underlined word “They” in the first paragraph refer to?
A.The author’s legs | B.The author’s chairs |
C.The author’s friends | D.The author’s diseases |
We can learn from the second paragraph that the author .
A.is the dancing queen of her school |
B.is afraid of taking the school elevator |
C.often gets lots of help from her friends |
D.can’t be understood by her schoolmates |
Kennedy’s story mainly tells us that we should .
A.work hard | B.smile at life |
C.have dreams | D.thank our parents |

Hypothermia can be mild, moderate or severe. Mild hypothermia is something that most people in cold climates have experienced at one time or another. You feel so cold that your body starts to shake -- not very much, but uncontrollably.
The treatment for mild hypothermia starts with getting out of the cold and, if necessary, changing into dry clothes. Drinking warm, non-alcoholic liquids and eating something sugary can stop the shivering.
Taking a warm bath or sitting by a fire or doing some exercise can also help the body warm up. These are all common-sense treatments.
But treatment needs to change when people enter the moderate or severe stages of hypothermia. In that situation, their body temperature drops below thirty-five degrees Celsius. They lose the ability to think clearly. Their muscles become stiff. They might bump into things or fall over objects.
Members of search-and-rescue teams will first try to prevent additional heat loss. They will place extra covering around the chest, head and neck of hypothermia victims to keep them warm.
Hypothermia victims need medical help as soon as possible. Working quickly to get people out of the cold is important. However, hypothermia victims must be moved slowly and gently.
Any rough or sudden movement can force cold blood from the arms, legs and hands deep into the warmer middle of the body. This sudden flow of cold blood can create shock, a serious condition. It can also cause an abnormal heartbeat. Members of search-and-rescue teams have a saying that hypothermia victims are not dead until they are warm and dead. The process of "rewarming" a person needs to be done slowly, in a hospital setting.
An extremely low body temperature can cause the heart to beat so slowly that a pulse may be difficult to find. In other words, a person who is suffering from the effects of severe cold may seem dead, but still be alive.
According to the text, when a person experience mild hypothermia, _____.
A.He feels cold so he shakes deliberately. |
B.He can drink some wine to stop the shaking. |
C.Some common treatments can help him recover. |
D.He should be sent to the hospital immediately. |
Which of the following expression can take the place of the underlined words?
A.break into | B.knock into |
C.break down | D.sweep up |
When people enter the moderate or severe stages of hypothermia, which of the following statement is WRONG? _________
A.Their body temperature drops below 35℃. |
B.The rescue workers should first help them warm slowly and gently in a proper situation. |
C.Hypothermia victims seem alive but dead. |
D.If hypothermia isn’t treated correctly, the victim’s heart may not beat normally. |
What’s the best title for the text? _____.
A.Different kinds of hypothermia |
B.Medical help is important in treating hypothermia |
C.Emergency treatment for different types of hypothermia. |
D.How to avoid cold-weather injuries. |
