Have you ever heard of the Silk Road Do you know what an important role it plays in the whole world Did you visit any famous places along the road Although it’s called the Silk Road, people bought and sold much more than silk. The Silk Road went through Asia, the Middle East, North Africa and Europe. It was 6,500 km from Xi’an to Rome.
My dad is very interested in the Silk Road and he has told me many things about it. Last summer, my family got away for a holiday and went to some places on the road.
We started at Lanzhou and went on to Wuwei. Wuwei was a very important city on the Silk Road. It connected (连接) three main cities in the area. In ancient times, it was also a capital. Although it’s now a modern city, you can get a feeling of history when you visit it. We saw lots of very old stone monuments and people there were very proud of their city’s long history.
The next stop was Jiayuguan. It’s on the edge (边缘) of the desert, and was also an important place on the Silk Road. It was a busy city with a lot of people coming and going. Even today, it’s a city that many business people travel through. An important part of the Great Wall was also built here.
After that, we went on to Yumenguan. I first found out about Yumenguan in the famous poem written by Wang Zhihuan. It was in the Gobi Desert and was the only connection between Central Asia and China. I wonder how people ever made it through the hot desert so long ago.
This trip wasn’t just a scenic (观光的) journey. It helped me understand the history of the area and see how people from different places influenced (影响) each other in many ways.

You may not like it, but learning English is necessary if you want to succeed abroad. Not just that, you have to show your knowledge of the English language on one of the two major English proficiency (水平) examinations: the IELTS (雅思) or the TOEFL (托福).
Which test you should take depends on your goal. The TOEFL remains the top exam in the US. But the IELTS is popular in the US but it is already the liked better test in the UK and Australia.
There are also differences in the examinations themselves. They both measure (测试) the four main language requirements: speaking, reading, writing and listening. However, the exams are very different in their form and methodology (方法).
“Compared with the TOEFL, the IELTS test requires you to actually have a grasp (掌握) of the language and an ability to use it, rather than simply being well prepared for the test,” explains IELTS examiner Julian Fisher.
The key reasons for this are that the IELTS exam requires fill-in answers as opposed to (相对于) multiple choice (选择题), and its speaking section is done with a real examiner instead of a computer. The examinee is given a topic related to daily life.
“The face-to-face interview with a trained speaker of English allows for communicative interaction (交流互动), which reflects (反应) real academic (学术的) and workplace situations,” said senior exam marketing officer Pang Shuai. What scores do I need
For the IELTS, a band score of 5 to 7 is fine for the majority of undergraduate and post-graduate programs. For top schools, you will probably need at least a 7.
When it comes to the TOEFL, there is a range (范围). It all depends on the colleges. Mediocre (普通的) schools will let you get by with a score as low as 60. For a top-tier university, on the other hand, you will need to score upwards of 100 points on your TOEFL.
42．What does Paragraph 2 suggest
A．In the US, the TOEFL score is not as important as it once was.
B．IELTS is more widely accepted than TOEFL by US schools.
C．The TOEFL score is liked better in Australian universities.
D．Universities in the UK mainly see students’ IELTS scores.
43．Which of the following is a difference between the TOEFL and the IELTS
A．The TOEFL checks four English skills, while IELTS doesn’t.
B．The IELTS tests focus more on test-taking skills.
C．There are no fill-in answers in the TOEFL tests.
D．The IELTS interview s test-takers on the computer.
44．What does Pang Shuai think of the face-to-face interview
A．More exams should take this exam form.
B．It is a useful skill in one’s studies and at work.
C．This exam form can make test-takers more relaxed.
D．A test-taker can score high simply by preparing well.
45．If you want to go to a top university in the UK or US, ________.
A．a 7 on the IELTS is probably a must
B．a score of 60 on the TOEFL is enough
C．you should take both the TOEFL and IELTS
D．you need a 7.5 on the IELTS for post-graduate programs

Daniel Defoe, the writer of Robinson Crusoe, was born on 13 September, 1660, in London. His father was a wealthy businessman. In Defoe’s early life, he experienced some of the most unusual events（事件）in English history. In 1665, 70,000 were killed by the Great Plague of London, and next year, the Great Fire of London which left only Defoe’s and two other houses standing in his neighborhood. In 1667, when he was probably about seven, a Dutch fleet（舰队）sailed up the Medway by way of the River Thames and attacked the town of Chatham. His mother Annie had died by the time he was about ten.
Defoe is among the founders of the English novel, known to have used at least 198 pen names. He is most famous for his novel Robinson Crusoe, which is second only to the Bible（圣经）in its number of translations. Defoe was a prolific（多产的）writer, producing more than three hundred works—books, pamphlets, and journals—on diverse topics, including politics, crime, religion, marriage, psychology, and the supernatural. Defoe wrote many political tracts and often was in trouble with the government, including prison time. He was also a pioneer of business and economic journalism（新闻业）. Intellectuals（知识分子）and political leaders paid attention to his fresh ideas and sometimes consulted with him.
Defoe also entered the world of business as a general merchant, dealing at different times in hosiery, general woolen goods, and wine. His ambitions were great and he was able to buy a country estate and a ship, though he was rarely out of debt. He had to declare bankruptcy（宣布破产）in 1692. On 1 January 1684, Defoe married Mary Tuffley, the daughter of a London merchant, receiving a dowry（嫁妆）of 3, 700—a huge amount by the standards of the day. With his debts and political difficulties, the marriage may have been troubled, but it lasted about 50 years and produced eight children.
Daniel Defoe died on 24 April 1731. He had probably experienced a stroke（中风）. He was buried in Borough of Islington, London, where a monument was built in memory of him.
