Americans like to travel on their yearly holiday.Today，more and more travelers in the United States are spending nights at small houses or inns instead of hotels.They get a room for the night and the breakfast the next morning.
Rooms for the night in private homes with breakfast have been popular with travelers in Europe for many years.In the past five to ten years，these bed-and-breakfast places have become popular in the United States.Many of these America’s bed-and-breakfast inns are old historic buildings.Some bed-and-breakfast inns have only a few rooms，others are much larger.Some inns do not provide telephones or televisions in the rooms，others do.
Staying at a bed-and-breakfast inn is much different from staying at a hotel.Usually the cost is much less.Staying at an inn is almost like visiting someone’s home.The owners are glad to tell about the areas and the interesting places to visit.Many vacationers say that they enjoy the chance to meet local families.

Tips for Travel to England
Good afternoon，and welcome to England.We hope that your visit here will be a pleasant one.Today，I would like to draw your attention to a few of our laws.
The first one is about drinking.Now，you may not buy alcohol in this country if you are under 18 years of age，nor may your friends buy it for you.
Secondly，noise.Enjoy yourselves by all means，but please don’t make unnecessary noise，particularly at night.We ask you to respect other people who may wish to be quiet.
Thirdly，crossing the road.Be careful.The traffic moves on the left side of the road in this country.Use pedestrian crossings and do not take any chances when crossing the road.
My next point is about litter(throwing away waste materials in a public place)．It is an offence(冒犯) to drop litter in the street.When you have something to throw away，please put it in your pocket and take it home，or put it in a litter bin.
Finally，as regards smoking，it is against the law to buy cigarettes or tobacco if you are under 16 years of age.
I’d like to finish by saying that if you require any sort of help or assistance，you should contact your local police station，who will be pleased to help you.
Now，are there any questions?

A
September 21,2050—At a press conference today it was announced that the first tourist heading for Mars will be the 38-year-old US businessman Patrick Clifford.He will leave the earth in the launching window of June 2052 and set his foot on the surface of Mars in November，together with the other 6 astronauts assigned for the mission to further explore the planet.
Patrick has now two years of training ahead of him to get ready for the trip.Not only will he spend five months in getting to Mars，but another 600 days there before he can go back home.Patrick was of course very excited，“This has been my dream since I was four，and seeing the first man on Mars 20 years ago made me realize that it was possible.”
To be able to pay the $1.3 billion for his ticket for the trip Patrick sold his majority stake(股份)in the company his father had built.“I know that my father would have been proud of me if he had still been alive today，he knew what this means to me，” says Patrick.There_is_no_risk_though_that_you_will_find_Patrick_begging_in_your_street_corner_when_he_comes_back，but it is said that he was paid twice as much for his part of the company.
So，how is he going to spend his 600 days on the red planet？“Well，since I don’t have a job when I get back after selling the company，I have plenty of time to come up with a new business idea，” he says and laughs.If he brings a shovel(铁锹)he can start building the first hotel there，but maybe he shouldn’t expect too many guests until someone can offer a cheaper ticket.
56．Patrick Clifford will go to Mars ________.
A．on business B．for pleasure
C．to build a hotel D．to explore the planet
57．When did the first man go to Mars?
A．In 2030. B．In 2032. C．In 2050. D．In 2052.
58．How long will Patrick Clifford be away before he comes back?
A．About five months. B．About two years.
C．About 600 days. D．About 750 days.
59．What can be inferred from the passage?
A．Patrick is an optimistic man.
B．A total of six people will go to Mars.
C．Patrick’s father felt excited at the news.
D．Patrick will spend all his money on the trip.
B
STOCKHOLM，Sweden (May 9,2007)—As every Western nation struggles with child obesity(肥胖)，the Swedes are puzzled by an unusual blip(光点) in the data：Why are little girls more likely to be fat than little boys？A recent study by researchers at Sweden’s Uppsala University showed that today’s 4-year-old girls were six times as likely to be obese compared to 20 years ago—a bigger jump than that among boys.
“This indicates that there is a relatively recent change in our lifestyle that is behind this，”said Ulf Holmback，the lead researcher for the study published in the April issue of Acta Paediatrica.“But it’s difficult to say what that is.”
The weight increase itself was expected—Swedes，along with most other Europeans，have been getting heavier.
But obesity experts are scratching their heads over the difference between boys and girls that emerges in obesity rates.In 1982，just 1 percent of all 4-year-olds were considered to be obese.By 2002,2 percent of the boys that age were obese，but 6 percent of the girls were.The difference was similar for 10-year-olds.
An analysis of children who are overweight—not obese—shows that the percentage of overweight 4-year-olds has roughly doubled to 20 percent for girls and 18 percent for boys during the same 20-year period.(Generally，a child,42 inches tall，weighing 50 pounds would be considered obese；the same child weighing 45 pounds would be considered overweight.)
“It’s hard to come up with a smart explanation for this，”said Carl-Erik Flodmark，head of the child obesity center at Malmo University Hospital.“One biological explanation could be that boys are more active，and when the calorie load increases，maybe girls are more affected.”
Holmback and other researchers hope to eventually sort out why Swedish girls are getting heavier than boys.Both he and Flodmark said it is necessary to help girls who are obese because they suffer more under the pressure of modern beauty ideals.
“It doesn’t matter as much for boys if they are obese，” Flodmark said.
60．What’s the main idea of the passage?
A．Western countries are struggling with child obesity.
B．Young girls are more likely to be fat.
C．Swedish girls are getting heavier than boys.
D．Swedes have been getting heavier.
61．According to the recent study by researchers in Sweden，________.
A．4-year-old girls were six times more likely to be obese than boys of the same age
B．4-year-old girls were six times as likely to be obese as 20 years ago
C．4-year-old girls are as likely to be obese as boys
D．4-year-old girls were less likely to be obese than boys of the same age
62．Girls are more likely to be obese probably because ________.
A．girls are usually less active than boys
B．girls get more calories than boys every day
C．boys are more affected with the calorie load
D．boys are born less likely to be obese for a biological reason
63．What can we infer from the last two paragraphs?
A．Boys can pay less attention to keeping fit.
B．Being slim is the standard of beauty.
C．Girls should lose weight to be beautiful.
D．Boys suffer less than girls if they are obese under the pressure of modern beauty ideals.
C
Living and dealing with kids can be a tough job these days，but living and dealing with parents can be even tougher.
If I have learned anything in my 16 years，it is that communication is very important，both when you disagree and when you get along.With any relationship，you need to let other persons know how you are feeling.If you are not able to communicate，you drift apart.When you are mad at your parents，or anyone else，not talking to them doesn’t solve anything.
Communication begins with the concerns of another.It means that you can’t just come home from school，go up to your room and ignore everyone.Even if you just say “Hi”，and see how their day was for five minutes，it is better than nothing.
If you looked up the word “communication” in a dictionary，it would say “the exchange of ideas，the conveyance(表达) of information，correspondence(通信)，means of communication：a letter or a message”．To maintain(保持) a good relationship，you must keep communication strong.Let people know how you feel，even if it’s just by writing a note.
When dealing with parents，you always have to make them feel good about how they are doing as a parent.If you are trying to make them see something as you see it，tell them that you’ll listen to what they have to say，but ask them politely to listen to you.Yelling or walking away only makes the situation worse.
This is an example：one night，Sophie went to a street party with her friends.She knew she had to be home by midnight after the fireworks，but she didn’t feel she could just ask to go home.That would be rude.After all，they had been nice enough to take her along with them.Needless to say，she was late getting home.Her parents were mad at first，not when Sophie explained why she was late，they weren’t as mad and let the incident go.Communication is the key factor here.If Sophie’s parents had not been willing to listen，Sophie would have been in a lot of trouble.
Communication isn’t a one-way deal：it goes both ways.Just remember：if you get into a situation like Sophie’s，telling the other person how you feel—listening is the key factor to communication.
64．In the writer’s view，dealing with parents is ________ than with children.
A．more difficult B．easier
C．more uninteresting D．more interesting
65．The main idea of the second paragraph is ________.
A．the importance of friendship
B．to make your feeling known to others
C．the importance of communication
D．the disagreement between generations
66．When parents and children are in communication，the key to a happy relationship is that ________.
A．children should always obey their parents
B．they should be equal
C．parents play the leading part
D．both make the opposite know their feelings
D．communication is the solution(解决办法) to misunderstanding
67．All the following statements are correct EXCEPT “________”．
A．If you don’t agree with others，you’d better let them know
B．It is better to say “Hi” to others than say nothing
C．If you are not able to communicate，walk away
D．Communication is a two-way deal
D
Based on more than forty interviews with Steve Jobs conducted over two years—as well as interviews with more than a hundred family members，friends，competitors，and colleagues—Walter Isaacson has written a wonderful story of the interesting life and intense personality of a creative entrepreneur(企业家)whose passion for perfection revolutionized six industries：personal computers，animated movies，music，phones，tablet computing，and digital publishing.
At a time when America is seeking ways to keep its innovative(创新的) edge，and when societies around the world are trying to build digital-age economies，Jobs stands as the best icon of inventiveness and applied imagination.He knew that the best way to create value in the twenty-first century was to connect creativity with technology.He built a company where leaps of the imagination were combined with remarkable achievements of engineering.
Although Jobs cooperated(配合)with this book，he asked for no control over what was written nor even the right to read it before it was published.He put nothing off limits.He encouraged the people he knew to speak honestly.He said，“I’ve done a lot of things I’m not proud of，but I don’t have any skeletons_in_my_closet that can’t be allowed out.”And Jobs speaks frankly about the people he worked with and competed against.Likewise，his friends，enemies，and colleagues provide a true Jobs.
Jobs could drive those around him to anger and despair.But his personality and products were interrelated(相互关联的)，just as Apple’s hardware and software tended to be.His tale is instructive，filled with lessons about innovation，character，leadership，and values.
68．What is the passage mainly about?
A．An introduction to Steve Jobs.
B．An introduction to the book about Steve Jobs.
C．How Steve Jobs changed the world.
D．How Walter Isaacson wrote the book about Steve Jobs.
69．Steve Jobs made great contributions to the following EXCEPT ________.
A．movies B．music C．education D．publishing
70．According to Steve Jobs，the best way to realize one’s value in new century was a combination of ________.
A．knowledge and experience
B．science and technology
C．creativity and technology
D．knowledge and imagination

Today is International Labour Day and we are free from school.In the morning，the shinning sun woke me up and I decided to spend my time together with my friends in the open air.So we went to the East Lake park.And we had our picnic under a big tree at noon.After lunch we rowed a boat on the East Lake.We found ourselves surrounded by green plants and lovely fishes，all living and moving slowly in the clean water.On landing the bank，we saw some foreigners.We said hello to them with beautiful smiles on our faces and received sweet smiles，too.We talked to them in English，but they didn’t say much.At last，we got to know they were Russian and only knew a little English.That’s really a pity.
