A
As for long-distance holidays, there are some wonderful destinations that actually offer you great value for your money, especially for those who do not hope to empty their pockets after a holiday. Tokyo, Japan
Food lovers should go to this busy city which has the lowest cost for eating out — you can even buy two evening meals (three dishes for each) , with a bottle of wine, for just under 34. For sightseeing (观光)
there are plenty of free museums and attractions, while tour bus ticket prices start from as little as 11.56.
Bangkok, Thailand(泰国)
Thailand's capital is second to none as the best value long-distance city. Although there isn’t a big difference across all prices compared to the other cities, it is accommodation ( 住宿) that really makes it
stand out. If you’re only stopping for a long weekend, then make sure to pay a visit to the breathtaking temples.
Beijing, China
The Chinese capital stands out with a total basket price of 337.49. If you only do one cultural day out during your stay, make it a trip to the Forbidden City. There are some beautiful buildings from the
Ming and Qing dynasties. At the same time they're home to priceless artificial objects( 工 艺 品 ) from
ancient Chinese emperors’ families.
Dubai(迪拜), UAE
Although Dubai does have a reputation(名声) for being quite the splurge (挥霍金钱) when it comes to holidays and if you’re going to enjoy shopping or experience the roller-coasters, it is in fact quite worth the
money. The city also offers some cheaper prices across its museums, galleries and attractions as well as airport transfers.
21. When it comes to food, which one tops the first as the most money-saving city
A. Bangkok B. Beijing. C. Tokyo. D. Dubai.
22. What are recommended to visitors coming to the Forbidden City

C. Shopping D. Accommodation
23. About Dubai, it is commonly believed that .

B
Five years ago, when I taught art at a school in Seattle, I used Tinkertoys as a test at the beginning of a term to find out something about my students. I put a small set of Tinkertoys in front of each student, and said: “Make something out of the Tinkertoys. You have 45 minutes today — and 45 minutes each day for the rest of the week.”
A few students hesitated to start. They waited to see the rest of the class would do. Several others checked the instructions and made something according to one of the model plans provided. Another group built something out of their own imaginations.
Once I had a boy who worked experimentally with Tinkertoys in his free time, his constructions filled a shelf in the art classroom and a good part of his bedroom at home. I was delighted at the presence of such a student. Here was an exceptionally creative mind at work. His presence meant that I had an unexpected teaching assistant in class whose creativity would infect(感染) other students.
Encouraging this kind of thinking has a downside. I ran the risk of losing those students who had a different style of thinking. Without fail one would declare, “But I’m just not creative.”
“Do you dream at night when you’re asleep ”
“Oh, sure.”
“So tell me one of your most interesting dreams.” The student would tell something wildly imaginative. Flying in the sky or in a time machine or growing three heads. “That’s pretty creative. Who does that for you ” “Nobody. I do it.”“Really-at night, when you’re asleep ”
“Sure.”
“Try doing it in the daytime, in class, okay ”
24. The teacher used Tinkertoys in class in order to ________.
A. know more about the students
B. make the lessons more exciting
C. raise the students’ interest in art
D. teach the students about toy design
25. What do we know about the boy mentioned in Paragraph 3
A. He liked to help his teacher. B. He preferred to study alone.
C. He was active in class. D. He was imaginative.
26. What does the underlined word “downside” in Paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Mistake. B. Drawback. C. Difficulty. D. Burden.
27. Why did the teacher ask the students to talk about their dreams
A. To help them to see their creativity.
B. To find out about their sleeping habits.
C. To help them to improve their memory.
D. To find out about their ways of thinking.
C
Sun Rui, a mother in Beijing, changed some of her plans for her 8-year-old son’s summer vacation. She had looked for an out-of-school English course, but in the end, she changed it to a swimming training class. “It is because of the strict rules on subject-tutoring( 辅导) classes out of schools, many parents like me choose sports or other classes for developing interests instead,” Sun said.
Sun’s choice is part of the result of the government’s growing efforts to reduce the academic (学业的) pressure on young students.
On July 24, Chinese government introduced the rules in order to reduce the burden( 负 担 ) of homework and after-class tutoring for primary and junior high school students. It lists requirements in areas such as reducing the amount( 数量 ) and the difficulty of homework and after-class services provided by schools. For example, homework for primary children below the third grade is not allowed, while homework for junior high school students should take no longer than 90 minutes to finish. Out-of-school classes can not teach students knowledge that is ahead of the school curriculum( 课程). No subject lessons can be given on weekends, national holidays or during winter and summer vacations.
According to Global Times, more than 75 percent of Chinese children in cities, from grade 1 to grade 12, take part in out-of-school subject classes. This has led to many social problems such as students’ falling levels of physical fitness, more mental health problems and huge family costs, said Chu Zhaohui, a senior researcher with the National Institute of Education Sciences.
Many parents showed their support for the new moves. “Subject learning is enough at school and we hope the children’s life can be more relaxing during holidays”, a parent in Guangzhou told Xinhua. However, there are also some parents who have new fears. A parent in Shanxi said that although she agreed with the new rules, she was worried that both she and her husband had no time to be with her son.
28. The reason why Sun Rui let her son sign up for a swimming class instead of an English course is that .
A. her son would like to be a swimming athlete.
B. the government made rules on subject-tutoring classes.
C. she considered her son has mastered English well enough.
D. she wanted to set an example to other parents.
29. According to the rules introduced on July 24, .
A. primary students in grade one and grade two have no homework after school.
B. junior high school students should do their homework for more than 90 minutes.
C. out-of-school classes can’t teach any knowledge in school textbooks.
D. during summer vacations, junior students can have subject classes outside schools.
30. In Chu Zhaohui’s opinion, taking part in out-of-school subject classes can .
A. help children stay fit.
B. have a positive effect on children’s mental health.
C. increase some families’ extra spending.
D. help children learn better at school.
31. What are parents’ reaction(反应) to the new rules
A. Some parents feel anxious about their children’s study at school.
B. They want their children to take part in more out-of-school classes.
C. They all think it is hard for them to accept the rules right now.
D. Some parents have new worries for they have no time to keep their children company after school.
D
What do you usually do to comfort your friends when they are feeling sad or depressed?You probably pat them on the back or shoulder, or maybe you give them a big, warm hug.
We used to think that knowing when and how to comfort others was an ability that only humans have. But scientists have discovered that apes(猩猩) have this ability, too, according to a study published in the Journal of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Two researchers from Emory University in Atlanta, US, went to an Ape Protection Centre in Congo to study bonobos(倭黑猩猩), which are closely related to humans.
The researchers analyzed the bonobos' reactions after more than 370 cases of stressful situations, such as fights and losing temper, and found that some bonobos rushed to hug those that were screaming(尖叫) after being attacked, just like humans would have done.
However, researchers noted that not all bonobos were capable of comforting others. In the protection centre, many bonobos are orphans(孤儿) whose mothers were killed by hunters. They were found to be more anxious in times of tension(紧张,冲突) and have greater difficulty controlling their own emotions, making them worse at helping friends in need.
“Orphans, who have not had the benefit of a mother helping them handling their emotions, are much worse at comforting others,” Professor Frans de Waal, one of the researchers, told The Telegraph. “Bonobos with moms were able to curb their negative emotional reactions more quickly. Therefore, they pay more attention to others.”
This pattern mirrors the way that human children have been found to react. Those who seem more capable of handling their own emotions—for example, the ones who can calm themselves down more quickly—are usually better at expressing their concerns for others.
32. The 4th paragraph is mainly developed by________.
A. making comparisons B. following time order
C. giving examples D. presenting causes and effects
33. The underlined word“curb”in the 6th paragraph probably means“________”.
A. express B. observe C. hide D. control
34. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage
A. Orphan bonobos never give a hand to friends.
B. There were 370 bonobos involved in the research.
C. Moms play a significant role in handling kids' emotions.
D. The ability to comfort others is unique to human beings.
35. What's the main purpose of this passage
A. To provide better protection for Apes.
B. To inform readers of a new study.
C. To uncover the mystery(神秘) of Apes.
D. To compare human behaviors with Apes'.
