In September 2013, the China National Tourism Administration(国家旅游局)issued a new set of tourist guideline in order to improve tourists' behavior when they travel abroad. Although the 64-page handbook contains suggestions for Chinese tourists when traveling at home, the main purpose is to improve the poor reputation(声誉)of Chinese tourists abroad.
In 2013, more than 83 million Chinese people traveled overseas, up 18 percent from the year 2012, according to the China Tourism Academy. But even as they travel farther, the Chinese tourists continue to take bad habits with them. From damaging ancient Egyptian temples to letting children defecate(排便)in the middle of airports, Chinese tourists have earned a bad fame. Chinese Vice-Premier Wang Yang even stressed the need for Chinese tourists to behave better while traveling overseas so as to protect China's image abroad.
Now with the latest "guidebook", Chinese travelers should have no excuse for rude behavior. According to the guidelines, when using the restroom, Chinese tourists are asked not to forget to flush the toilet after using it.
The guidelines also remind tourists of not fighting with others when they want to take pictures at tourist attractions. When flying, the guidelines advise travelers not to take life vests(救生衣)away from airplanes.
Chinese tourists are also encouraged to be respectful of local customs wherever they travel. In t
he United Kingdom, for example, it is not polite to ask people "Where are you going?" or
"Have you eaten?", the handbook says.
Nevertheless, with a very short history of traveling overseas, it is not surprising that many
Chinese tourists behave badly on their foreign trips. We should give them time to change.
1. What's the main purpose of the new guideline?
A. To improve the Chinese tourists' behavior abroad.
B. To guide the Chinese tourists how to travel farther.
C. To introduce the famous places of interest all over the world.
D. To give suggestions to Chinese tourists when traveling at home.
2. How many people traveled abroad in 2012?
A. About 83 million. B. About 18 million.
C. About 98 million. D. About 70 million.
3. Which of the following behavior is NOT mentioned in the passage?
A. Damaging ancient Egyptian temples.
B. Taking life vests away from airplanes.
C. Fighting with others when taking pictures.
D. Taking photos in areas marked "No photos".
4. What are Chinese tourists encouraged to do?
A. Respect local customs wherever they travel.
B. Try to be polite both at home and abroad.
C. Ask questions when they meet with difficulty.
D. Take the guidebook with them when traveling abroad.

the poor part, a lot of people never get enough to eat. In the rich part, a lot of people eat too much. In one part,
children are hungry and in the other, a lot of people are fatter and fatter and have to go on diets or do some
exercise to lose weight. For example, a dog or a cat in North America eats better than a child in the poorer
countries.
The poor countries have some difficult problems. Sometimes the land is too poor to grow anything on.
The land can be got or made better, but a lot of things must be done first. The people must be taught and the
water must be found.
But rich countries have problems, too. They are not always pleasant places too live in. sometimes the air
is too dirty to breathe and the rivers are too dirty to swim in or to take water. The roads and the streets are full
of people and buses. Cars usually move very slowly. Noise is terrible. A lot of people do not have houses to live
in. some things will have to be done about these problems. The air and the rivers must be cleaned, and more
houses will have to be built. But these can"t be done easily.

Most couples could have only one child except some special families and those in some special areas.

were virtuous (品德高尚的), talented and good at PE. It was firstly used in to 1950s by Mao to encourage
young people to keep fit, study well and work hard.
3 During the early 1990s, state owned company reforms (国有企业改革) were getting tough. The
workers were more than the jobs in most of the cities. Many workers were losing their jobs. "Jobless" was
a hot topic at that time, so the leaders hoped the laid off workers could find new jobs or start up their own
business.
4 One of Deng’s clever ideas, "one country, two systems", was first performed in 1997. It described
Hong Kong and Macao"s situation after they returned to China. This policy would also be suitable for
Taiwan. There would be one China, but Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan could have their own economies
and political systems.

and Shaftsbury Avenue. Gerrard Street is at the center and is the most important street in the area. There
is a large Chinese community (社区) with a lot of Chinese restaurants, Chinese supermarkets and shops in
this street.
In the 1950s, it was a poor area and everything was very cheap. At the same time, the world rice
market changed and thousands of farm workers in Hong Kong lost their jobs. They began arriving in London
to look for work. They found jobs in the restaurants in this area. Many British people liked Chinese food, and
the restaurants were popular.
These restaurant workers often worked 17 hours a day and had no time to learn English. As more
Chinese arrived, more shops and businesses grew up. Wives came and joined their husbands and children
came and joined their fathers. The community grew, and Chinatown was born.
In the 1970s and 1980s, British-born Chinese started to have a better education and this brought
economic (经济的) success to the area. Many families moved out of Chinatown, and there was more space
for businesses. Gerrand Street became a street only for visitors and was soon a popular place for tourists.
Now everyone knows about London"s Chinatown. During the Chinese New Year, the streets are seen
with flags and thousands of Chinese go into the streets. For most of the year, though, Londoners and tourists
go there mainly for the food in the Chinese restaurants. The best restaurants are the ones where the Chinese
eat.1. Is this Chinatown in the middle of London?

in deserts, in the mountains and under the sea. Quite often they find nothing, but the search for oil always

Now in the 21st century, advertising is more and more important for people. Why? I think it is because
through advertising, people, especially the businessmen, can introduce their products to the people all over
the world. Because of this, many companies spend a lot of money on advertising. As we all know, there are
many advertisements which are very interesting and popular. For example, Michael Jordan made an interesting
advertisement for Nike. From this you can see how the companies make their products known to the world.
People can make a lot of money through advertising. It is known that many famous singers and movie
stars make money in this way. However, I don"t think this is a good way for them to make money, because
they are not the professional (职业的) advertisers, especially those who advertise in medicine advertisements.
Nowadays, advertising not only means making the products known, but also means making ourselves
known to people around us. Living today, we have to make people believe in us if we want to do important
jobs. But how can this be done? We should first let other people know our good side: the good habits and
abilities we have. In short, we should always remember to advertise ourselves to others. As I said before,
advertising is not only important for companies but also for everyone, for all human beings. This is the most
interesting thing about advertising.1. The best topic to fill in the line in the first paragraph is "____________". A. The Importance of Advertising
B. Making Money through Advertising
C. Advertising Ourselves
D. Advice on Advertisements2. This passage may be a (an) ____________. A. advertisement
B. story
C. speech
D. report3. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT right? A. Many companies are willing to spend money on advertising.
B. Advertising can make some people rich.
C. People can introduce their products through advertisements.
D. Advertising is not necessary for anyone.阅读理解。 Taiwan appears in newspaper headlines more often these days. On April 26, 2005 Kuomintang leader,
Lien Chan, visited the mainland and three days later, President Hu Jintao held talks with him. This is the first
meeting in 56 years and may help to bring peace across the Taiwan Straits (海峡).
How much do you know about this beautiful island? The island faces Fujian. The shortest distance from
Taiwan to Fujian is 130 kilometers across the Taiwan Straits. A ship can cover it in four hours.
As the biggest island, Taiwan is still only about one-sixth the size of Hunan. Around it, there are also lots
of smaller ones, like Penghu Islands and Diaoyu Islands.
Taiwan is rich in natural resources (资源). Half of the island is covered with forests, and it has many kinds
of agricultural products (农产品), like rice and tea.

language from their old hometowns. They also celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival and the Mid-Autumn Festival.
At the Spring Festival, they even eat dumplings!

Taiwanese people should use better ways of communicating and build better business and transportation.
There is now more business and tourism (旅游业) across the Straits. On July 4, 2008, the first direct flights
between Taiwan and five mainland cities such as Beijing, Shanghai Nanjing, Guangzhou and Xiamen started up.

left millions homeless? On the twelfth day after the earthquake, Premier Wen Jiabao said, "A new Wenchuan
will rise from the ruins (废墟)." Now his words have come true. Three years has passed and the worst-hit
areas in Sichuan have risen from the ruins.
So far, 95% of the reconstruction projects (重建项目) have been completed. Nearly 3,000 schools, 1,000
hospitals and more than 5 million homes have been built. Now everyone has been provided with a home, a job
and social security (社保).
Dong Xinjun, a villager in Qingchuan, said volunteers from Zhejiang taught him how to grow mushrooms
and now he makes about 3,000 yuan more than before every year.
Zhu Lihu, the headmaster of a village primary school in Qingchuan, told us that teaching equipment had
been greatly improved. Now they have new classrooms, a library and a computer room with 20 computers.
On May 8th, 2011, Premier Wen Jiabao made his 10th visit to Sichuan Province after the earthquake. He

student named Zheng Haiyang, who lost both of his legs in the earthquake. The students told Premier Wen
that their new school was very beautiful. And they would never forget that it was built with the hearts and
strength of people across the whole country.

their products (产品) and the price of these products in the markets is lower, too. Thus they give us better
values. At the same time, new technology and science are always at work, improving the quality of products.
In this way, better quality products at good values are one after the other being brought to the people of all
income groups.
As an example of how this works, when facial tissues, pieces of thin soft paper that you use to blow your
nose, were first put on the market in 1924, they were made in small numbers and sold at 60 cents per box of
200. People liked these facial tissues immediately and began asking for them when they went into different
stores.
Because there was such a market for the product, producers began making tissues in larger and larger
numbers. Because the producers were making tissues in greater numbers, the costs were lowered, so that the
cost of tissues went down. At the same time, the quality of facial tissues was improving, because more
producers went into the business of making tissues, and each producer tried to make his product better than
his competitors (竞争者). Today, instead of costing 60 cents, a box of 200 facial tissues costs around
one-third of that price, and they are both softer and stronger.
When people are free to compete, when they are free to make more things and make them better, we all
feel much better.1. How do the makers cut the cost of their products? A. They cut the price of their products in the supermarkets.
B. They have many different machines in their factories.
C. They improve the quality of their products.
D. They produce things in large numbers.2. How much does a box of 200 tissues cost today? A. 80 cents.
B. 60 cents.
C. 40 cents.
D. 20 cents.3. Why does the writer of the passage set facial tissue as an example? A. To show how the price of tissues becomes lower.
B. To show how the quality of tissues becomes higher.
C. To tell the readers how the tissues are made.
D. To tell the readers how the tissues are sold.4. Which is true according to the passage? A. The more products they make, the better quality the products will be.
B. The lower the price of the products is, the more value we can get.
C. The more products they sell, the less money they make.
D. The freer you are, the better you feel.阅读理解。 You wouldn"t steal a car. You would never rob (抢劫) a bank or pick someone"s pocket. But you may
be another kind of thief.
If you have ever bought a disc for 15 yuan or less, then you have helped to rob artists or musicians of
their intellectual properly rights (知识产权).
Last Thursday was World Intellectual Property Day. Activities to tell people about intellectual property
rights were held around the country.
Intellectual property includes inventions, literary (文学的) and artistic works, names, and pictures. They
are of little value (价值) if they are not read, seen and used.
While the cost of copying discs is very small, authors, singers and actors have to spend a lot of money
and time making a new product. That"s why they have the right to make money from their work.
So buying pirated (盗版的) music of Jay Chou and Jolin Tsai is like stealing from them, paying them no
respect for their hard work.
If Jay Chou cannot make money from his work, he may not make anything else. But those who make
pirated goods are becoming rich without doing any hard work.
The authors should ask for a fair price for their work. Earlier this year there was much talk about how
much KTV clubs should pay the music companies for using their songs.
The copyright fee (版权费) also should be fair to the users. That"s good for the music"s popularity and
society as well.1. What is the author"s attitude towards protecting (保护) intellectual property rights? A. He is for it. B. He is against it.
C. He doesn"t care about it.
D. The article doesn"t tell us.2. Which of the following do intellectual property rights not cover? A. Inventions.
B. Literary and artistic works.
C. Names end pictures.
D. Pirated music.3. According to the article, which of the following is true? A. Authors should ask for a high price for their work.
B. The copyright fee should ha fair to users.
C. Authors, singers and actors have no right to make money from their work.
D. Buying pirated music by Jay Chou is very good.4. What is the best title for the article? A. Rob a Bank
B. Copyright Fees
C. Say No to pirated Music
D. World Intellectual Property DayMost American students have said goodbye to fancy (高档的) fruits these days. In school canteens
across the country, cheaper fruits like apples and oranges have taken their place.
"People are afraid to spend now," said Linda Morrow, who owns a shoe and handbag store."They don"t
know what the future will bring." During the financial crisis (金融危机), several of the country"s biggest
banks have been forced to sell or close. This has made lots of Americans afraid to buy expensive goods.
Samira Marino, a restaurant owner in Miami, has found everyone is ordering water instead of juice and
more people are sharing meals.
In more than two-dozen interviews with The Associated Press across the country last month, Americans
talked about their concerns, from worries about small businesses to doubts (怀疑) about simply making ends
meet (维持生计).
The crisis began last year. Experts think it was because US banks lend money too easily. Last year a lot
of people and companies,who borrowed money, have found themselves unable to pay it back. This left the
banks, as well as the people who put their money in the banks, without money. Since the banks borrowed
money between themselves and even across borders (国界), the whole world was in trouble.
This month the US government agreed on a $700 billion plan to try to save the financial market. But no
one is sure whether it will help or not. President George W. Bush has warned it will take some time. Last
week top finance officials from 20 countries promised to work together to find a way out of the money
trouble.1. Why are people in the US afraid to spend? A. Because they think it"s unnecessary.
B. Because they don"t have the habit of spending money.
C. Because they worry about their future.

companies. First, there were traditional companies which sold things in stores. Then, there were Internet
companies which didn"t have stores; they sold things only over the Net.
Traditional companies didn"t want to lose any business. Quickly, they created their own websites and
began selling things over the Net. These are the so-called "brick and click" companies. Many stores are
made of brick, and you click on your mouse to buy things with your computer. That"s where the name
"brick and click" comes from.
By the late 1990"s, e-businesses like Amazon.com, Buy.com, and eToys.com were in trouble. Their
profits were not very high, and there was a lot of competition. Many of these businesses lost a lot of money,
and in 2000, many businesses were out of business. Why are brick and click companies, like Barnes and
Noble, Toys RUs, and Walmart 50 successful? First, many customers know and trust their names. Their
websites, like Walmart.com, are easy to remember. These companies also have a lot of experience. They
know how to run a successful business.

for their chores, such as setting the table, washing dishes, and cleaning up their play and bedrooms.
People have different opinions about paying little kids for doing chores or just giving money to them. Some
families think that everyone in the family should do housework, and that kids shouldn"t be paid for doing so.
The supporters (支持者), however, believe that kids should get paid, and that the money they get will help kids
learn important skills of how to use it.
But for those who to give the money, it can be a headache deciding on how much they should give,
especially in these difficult economic (经济的) times. A good idea is that you can keep of how
much you spend on your child daily for two weeks and then decide how much you should give according to
the average (平均的) daily amount. Kids can start receiving money around ages 4 or 5, when children start to
understand how money works.A) 根据短文内容完成下列语音题:

It is useful for rice farmers to know how the price changes, then they can sell their rice when the price is
high.

living standard (水平) is much higher than in the west. Recently, the Chinese government has decided to
promote (促进) development in central and western China. The part includes 11 provinces (省) and
autonomous regions (自治区) with a population of 285 million and an area of 5. 4 million square-kilometers.
The rich nature resources in western China is one of the advantages for development. According to the plan,
the government will focus on improving transportation. Highways and railways will be built. To protect nature,
farmers will turn farmland back into forest.
Since the western part is developing fast, all kinds of talents are badly needed. In June, 2003, several
thousand college students chose to start their career in the west. They worked as volunteers. Some people
even give up the chance of working in big companies in China" coastal (沿海的) cities. For example, Wang
Fei was a student from Qinghua University. Before June, he had received a job offer in Shanghai. However,
he turned down the offer. Instead, he became one of the "Go West" volunteers. Since 2003, tens of thousands
of college students have gone to the west. They are trying their best to make the west become more and more
beautiful. We are sure that the development will be a great success. China will be richer and stronger.1. According to this passage, we know that ________. A. eastern China is developing faster than western China

Canadian, got a three-bedroomed house through 14 trades (交换) that started with a single red paper clip.
Encouraged by Kyle"s successful experience, now more and more young people around the world
are starting their own trading activities. They set up websites where people can trade things they do not
usually use with other people. A website called Peerflix allows people to trade their used DVDs. These
traders usually prefer face-to-face tracing, which means they don"t have to worry about who is going to
pay for the delivery (递送).
Last year, a young girl in Beijing decided to follow the example of Kyle. She started with a paper clip
and hoped to get a house in the end. After several trades she now has a piano which is worth more than
10,000 yuan. But she may still have a long way to go.
You may be puzzled about why people are doing this. In fact, everyone in the trade activities gets things
that are useful to them. Just as Kyle said, "What"s more important to a man dying of thirst in the desert-one
million dollars or a glass of water?" Kyle"s words probably show why these trades are popular among young
people.1. What did Kyle get in the end through 14 trades?
__________________________________________________________
2. Where can people trade things they do not usually use?

3. Why do these traders usually prefer face-to-face trading?

Though there"re many kinds of resources, with the fast increase of population and the appearance of many
more factories, the more we use, the fewer there will be left for the future, Oil is getting less and less year
after year. It"s said that oil can last for only 50 years. Natural gas perhaps will last about 38 years.
Oil can be used in many ways and it"s difficult to imagine what the modern world will be like without oil.
But oil isn"t easy to find and get out of the earth. Men must study the rocks. When they think the rocks in a
certain place may have oil, a metal tower is built, A machine in the tower cuts a hole down into the ground.
At the same time, a steel pipe is pushed down to stop the sides from falling in and to keep out water. At last
if the men are right, usually the oil rushes up the sides with great force by the pressure of the gas in the top
of the rock, and it rushes high into the air. If the oil catches a light, there will be a terrible fire. So a kind of
cover is fixed on the top of the pipe, and the oil can run out through taps.
If we make a well near the middle of the oil field, we can also get gas. Such gas is sent through pipes to
towns far away and used in houses and factories like coal gas.
Today oil is under pressure as never before. The price of oil keeps rising all the time. In many countries,
the governments encourage people to save oil as much as possible.1. In the second paragraph, the word "it" refers to _____. A. gas
B. oil
C. rock
D. water2. Which is the right order of the exploitation of oil?
a. Push down a steel pipe.
b. Study the rocks.
c. Build a metal tower.
d. Oil rushes up.A. b, c, d, a

C. b, c, a, d
D. b, a, d, c,3. Which of the following can be true according to the passage? A. Coal gas can"t be used in houses and factories.
B. Oil is very important in the modern world.
C. Many governments encourage people to waste oil as much as possible.
D. Today oil is under pressure as before.4. According to the passage, the right picture to show the tendency (趋势) to the amount of oil on the earth
is _____.A. B.
C. D.5. The best title for the passage is _____. A. The loss of Oil
B. The Use of Oil
C. The Price of Oil
D. The Exploitation of Oil.阅读理解。 China has three economic (经济的) areas: eastern China, central China and western China. Shanxi, Gansu,

a big bombing(轰炸) happened near her home in the south of Iraq.
Every day we see pictures like this on our televisions. We see young Iraqi children asking for food
and water from American and British soldiers as they move through towns and cities towards the
capital, Baghdad. We see these children following grown-ups, carrying bags of things almost the same
size as their small bodies as they quickly left their home in Baghdad.
All this shows that some of the young lives have been turned upside down by the war. And they show
the terrible price being paid by Iraqi children.
In southern parts of the country,like the second largest city,Basra,the UN is working to repair the
damage(毁坏) caused by the war. "We are working to provide clean water and get the electrical power
to work again , "said Geoffrey Keele , a UN spokesman.
But little else can be done. In Baghdad, parents give their children sleeping pills to try and let them
escape the sound of bombing.And all the schools are closed. Some diseases break out among the
children, sometimes leading to death.

are suffering(遭受) from malnutrition(营养不良).1.From the first paragraph , we know that __________. A. the girl in the doctor"s arm is dead

change Britain into such a country. " Everyone in the country will be given his or her own website within
four years , " he said.
After people have their own websites, they can do things on the Internet. For example, people can
"see" doctors on the Internet,and doctors can also answer them through the Internet; parents can learn
about their children" studies on the Internet. Also, teachers don"t need to give them the report cards.
This not only saves time,but also saves money. Many people won"t need to go to their offices; they
can work at home. He also said that it would save billions of pounds a year. Most importantly, it is
especially good for the environment. The country will save a lot of paper if people do so many things
through the Internet. Saving paper can save a lot of trees.
If the plan is carried out, Britain will become the first country without paper. "I want Britain to be the
world leader in the digital economy. The digital company will create over 250, 000 jobs by2020,"

trouble.
