There are numerous amusement parks all over the world. A famous magazine, Amusement Today, does a survey among park lovers every year both in the US and overseas, based on which, "Top 5 List of the Best Amusement Parks in the World" has come out as follows:

To travel abroad, we often meet the problem of what to take and how to take it. Take as little as possible. Choose clothes for your use in different kinds of situations and when you have made your final choice, take half of it! It's always a big problem to take too many things, and anyway if necessary, you can buy what you need abroad. For example, in the US, things like jeans, T-shirts and other clothes are good buys. If you hunt around you can usually find something on sale.
Whatever baggage you take, make sure it is easy to take. Getting on and off buses and trains, even just changing planes, can be a test if your bags are too heavy or too many. The best way is to take one holdall, like a suitcase or a backpack, and then a smaller bag. Even when you have to check in your holdall at the airport or bus station, you can keep all your money and documents by your side. It is also a good idea to keep a change of clothing in your shoulder bag in case your suitcase or backpack gets lost by an airline or a bus company.
The you are to travel in the US, the means you choose to travel will depend on your money, you time and something else. Since there are certain discounts available to travelers who buy their tickets outside the US, it is a good idea to make travel plans before you go. Also, when you buy your tickets outside the US, you save the eight percent sales tax. Travel is like everything else in America—you have to shop around for the best busy. Never be afraid to ask for the cheapest fare. The clerk seldom offers you the cheapest one.
24.What is the writer's idea about what to take while travelling abroad
A.Take as many clothes as possible. B.Take as few things as you can.
C.Take only your tickets and money. D.Take whatever you can use in different situations.
25.Where does the writer think travelers and better put their money and documents
A.In a suitcase. B.In a backpack.
C.In a shoulder bag. D.In a coat pocket.
26.What can we learn from the last paragraph
A.Travelling around the US will cost you little money.
B.Clerks always show you the cheapest fare.
C.Asking prices in nor a good manner in the US.
D.Buying tickets outside the US is cheaper.
27.What does the passage mainly talk about
A.Some advice about travelling in America.
B.Some advice about shopping in America.
C.Some advice about the means to travel around the US.
D.Some advice about the ways to save money in the US.
C
Like all big cities, Paris has a traffic problem: lots of cars, lots of traffic jams and lots of pollution from exhaust fumes(废气). So the city began a scheme(计划) to improve the situation.
Under the Velib scheme ("Velib" comes from vélo liberté, or "bicycle freedom"), people can take a bicycle, use it for as long as they want, and then leave it at the same or another bicycle station. The first half-hour on the bike is free, but if you don't return it after 30 minutes, you have to pay. But it's only ? 1 a day or ? 29 a year! The bicycles are heavy (25kg), and they are all grey and have baskets. There are about 20,000 of them in the city, and around 1,450 bicycle stations. So there are a lot more Velib stations than the 298 subway stations!
Paris is not the first city to have a scheme like this. But not everybody thinks it's a great idea. One Parisian said, "These bicycles are only for short journeys. If people want to travel across the city, they won't use a bicycle-they'll still use their cars."
A city spokesman said, "The bicycle scheme won't solve all our traffic problems, of course. But it might help reduce air pollution. Traffic, together with factory fumes, is a big problem. There aren't any simple answers to traffic problems and pollution in cities. But unless we do something now, there will be more traffic jams and temperatures will continue to rise, so the problems of our environment will get worse. The bikes might help people to lead a healthier life, too."
28. What can we learn about the Velib scheme
A. Its bikes have no baskets. B. Its bikes are light and colourful.
C. It aims to make travelling easier. D. It owns more stations than the subway.
29. How much should you pay if you use a Velib for an hour
A. ?1. B. ?30. C. ?29. D. No money.
30. Why do some people disagree with the Velib scheme
A. The cost is rather high. B. It's hard to find a Velib station.
C. It's not suitable for a long journey. D. The distance between two Velib stations is long.
31. What’s the city spokesman's attitude towards the bicycle scheme
A. Doubtful. B. Positive. C. Uncaring. D. Worried.
D
One morning last week I looked out of my study window and saw that it was a fine day. No, it was a glorious(晴朗的) day: the sun shone down from the sky without even a single cloud.
But later that day, hard at work at my desk, I heard a loud drumming noise on the roof. Turning to the window, I saw that the sky was the colour of charcoal(木炭). Rain was beginning to fall; two minutes
later the rain became hail(冰雹); at some point, the hail became snow. Rain, hail or snow, it was all wet, making rivers of water.
This story will give you some idea about weather in Britain. It's extremely variable. Go ahead with your picnic in the local park by all means, but don't assume that because the sun is shining now, it will be when you open your pack of sandwiches; better take an umbrella, just in case.
The weather in Britain is by no means always bad. The weather can just seem a lot like a person who has a lot of mood swings.
This is one of the biggest reasons why the British talk so often about the weather: it's handy. Wherever there are strangers standing or sitting close together, talk cannot be avoided, and the conversation focuses on the weather: "Yes, the weather has been good, hasn't it Three whole days of sunshine this May!" or "What shocking weather we've been having!" The unreliability of the weather is something that every Brit can agree on. That makes it a safe topic of conversation.
Thus, the weather's unpredictability is actually a plus for the British, a very useful bit of their culture. Even those with different opinions on everything else in the world, such as the argument in the UK about membership of the European Union, can talk about the weather without it leading to a shouting match. Long live rainstorms in mid-July!
32.Why did the writer write this article
A.To describe his own experience of the different weather in Britain.
B.To remind people to take an umbrella whenever they have to go out in Britain.
C.To prove the uncertainty of the weather in Britain.
D.To describe the weather and the way people talk about weather in Britain.
33.What is the main characteristic of British weather
A.Changeability. B.Stability. C.Lack of sunshine. D.Continuous rain.
34.Why do the British often start conversations by talking about the weather
A.Because they seldom trust the weather forecast.
B.Because the variable weather is a safe topic of conversation.
C.Because they are all interested in predicting weather.
D.Because they like complaining about the terrible weather.
35.What is the author' attitude towards the weather in Britain
A.Negative. B.Critical. C.Indifferent. D.Positive.

Try to stop and take deep breaths whenever you start to feel anxious.

When I first entered university, my aunt, who is an English professor, gave me a new English dictionary and advised me to use it. I was 41 to see that it was an English-English dictionary, also known as a monolingual(单语的) dictionary. Although it was a dictionary intended for non-native learners, none of my classmates had one and, to be honest, I found it extremely 42 to use at first. I would 4 3 words in the dictionary but still could not fully understand the meanings. I was used to the 44 English-Chinese dictionaries, in which the words are 45 both in English and Chinese. I really wondered why my aunt gave me such 46 to make things so difficult for me. Now, I understand that monolingual dictionaries are 47 in learning a foreign language.
As I 48 , there is, in fact, often no perfect equivalent(对应物) between two 49 in two languages. My aunt even 50 that even a Chinese “equivalent” can never give you the 51 meaning of the word in English! Therefore, she insisted that I read the definition of a word in a monolingual dictionary when I wanted to get a better 52 of its meaning. Gradually, I have come to see what she 53 .
Using a monolingual dictionary has helped me in another important way. This dictionary uses a(n) 54 number of words, around 2,000, in its definitions. When I read these definitions, I am 55 exposed (接触) to the basic words and learn how they are used to explain objects and ideas. Because of this, I can express myself more easily in English.
41、A. worried B. sad C. surprised D. nervous
42、A. difficult B. interesting C. important D. practical
43、A. set up B. look up C. pick up D. take up
44、A. new B. familiar C. informed D. confusing
45、A. explained B. expressed C. described D. created
46、A. appreciation B. courage C. advice D. power
47、A. more natural B. better C. more convenient D. easier
48、A. checked out B. broke out C. found out D. turned out
49、A. words B. names C. ideas D. characters
50、A. hoped B. declared C. complained D. dreamt
51、A. exact B. basic C. translated D. expected
52、A. understandingB. practice C. expression D. consideration
53、A. wanted B. preferred C. meant D. suffered
54、A. extra B. average C. total D. limited
55、A. repeatedly B. nearly C. immediately D. anxiously

Tom has an aunt who lives in a far-off village. He hadn't seen her for two years and he really missed her.
Tom spent a lot of time with his aunt when he was a little boy. At that time, his parents were too busy with their work, so they sent him to his aunt. It was his aunt who took care of him for a long time. He remembered that back then a girl sometimes played with him. But he couldn't remember her clearly. After all, it had been so many years before.
Last week, Tom decided to visit his aunt. And he called her first.
"Hello, Auntie. This is Tom. How are you " asked Tom over the phone.
"I'm fine, Tom. Thanks. I'm just a bit lonely," said Tom's aunt. Hearing that, he knew he had made a right decision.
"I'm coming this weekend. I want to spend the weekend with you," he immediately said, thinking his aunt would be surely full of joy.
"Really That's great! I miss you so much." his aunt said excitedly.
Tom set off on Friday afternoon. He thought he would arrive by bus in the evening, but there was an accident on the road and all the traffic was stopped for almost an hour. When he got off the bus, it was getting dark.
It's a ten-minute walk from the bus station to his aunt's house. The village had experienced a lot of changes. Tom looked around curiously. Just at that moment, another bus stopped and a girl got off the bus. The girl passed by Tom and began to walk into the village. Thinking that his aunt was waiting for him, Tom began to walk into the village, too.
He walked behind the girl. After about two minutes, it seemed that the girl noticed him. She looked back hurriedly, and then continued to walk. Moments later, the girl looked back again and then quickened her pace.

Paragraph 1:
It seemed that the girl was a bit scared. After all, it was getting dark and there was nobody else nearby. With Tom keeping walking behind her, the girl was afraid that he was a bad guy. Tom realized that and wanted to explain the fact lo the girl. So he decided to walk faster so that he could catch up with the girl.
Paragraph 2:
Clearly, it frightened the girl even more. She was so seared that she started running. She ran faster and faster and finally stopped in front of a house. She knocked on the door hard, trying to ask for help. Surprisingly, it was Tom's aunt who opened the door. Seeing the scene, Tom's aunt immediately laughed and explained the truth to the girl. The girl was embarrassed and said sorry to Tom. Then they recognized each other. The girl was whom Tom played with as a little boy. What a small world!
