Rome can be expensive for travelers， which is why many choose to stay in a hostel （旅社）.
Yellow Hostel
If I had to make just one recommendation for where to stay in Rome， it would be Yellow Hostel. It’s one of the best hostels in the city， and for good reason. It’s affordable， and it’s fun without being too noisy. As an added advantage， it’s close to the main train station.
Hostel Alessandro Palace
If you love social hostels， this is the best hostel for you in Rome. Hostel Alessandro Palace is fun. Staff members hold plenty of bar events for guests. There’s also an area on the rooftop for hanging out with other travelers during the summer.
Youth Station Hostel
If you’re looking for a clean and modern hostel， look no further than Youth Station. It offers beautiful furnishings （家具陈设）. There are plenty of other benefits， too： it doesn’t charge city tax； it has both air conditioning and a heater for the rooms； it also has free Wi-Fi in every room.
Hotel and Hostel Des Artistes
Hotel and Hostel Des Artistes is located just a 10-minute walk from the central city station and it’s close to all of the city’s main attractions.

They say there are three ways to experience the Grand Canyon： on foot， on mules （骡子） or by air. We chose the first. Up early， my husband and I and our three children couldn’t wait to get started. We decided to walk along a lovely path named Bright Angel Trail.
As we set out， I was shocked at how narrow the path was. And I couldn’t help noticing that the other tourists weren’t like us. They had heavy backpacks， water bottles， and hats， but as usual we were dressed. As the sun rose higher， Arizona’s famous heat seemed to roast us. There was no shade and our legs were aching. We decided to go back， with the girl on my back and the boys far behind. By the time we finally got back， our legs were like jelly.
The next day， after we’d had along rest and a good breakfast， we were ready for another view of the Canyon — by air. After our last walk， this would be the easiest thing in the world.
We called to each other excitedly as the plane circled around the Canyon. But the smiles on our faces disappeared as the pilot tossed （翻转） the plane around， pretending he was going to hit the ground. I shouted，“STOP， TAKE US BACK！” When we finally arrived back on land， once again our legs were like jelly. We hardly spoke as we drove back.
As I said， there are three ways to view the Grand Canyon. We never tried the mules， but personally I’d suggest a fourth： buy yourself a good magazine like National Geographic. That way， you can see the Canyon， without fear or tiredness.
24.What can we know from the second paragraph？（ ）
A.They made careful preparations before the trip.
B.The children were more excited than their parents.
C.The heat didn’t prevent them from finishing the walk.
D.Bright Angel Trail was not as lovely as they expected.
25.What does the underlined sentence “our legs were like jelly” in Paragraph 2 probably mean？（ ）
A.We were tired. B.We were injured.
C.We were relaxed. D.We were energetic.
26.Why did the family hardly speak as they drove back？（ ）
A.Because the pilot almost hit the ground.
B.Because they got frightened on the plane.
C.Because they arrived back on land later than expected.
D.Because the plane only circled around the Grand Canyon once.
27.What can we infer from the last paragraph？（ ）
A.A good magazine about the Grand Canyon is more affordable.
B.Visiting the Grand Canyon on mules would be the best option.
C.The trip to the Grand Canyon does not necessarily suit everyone.
D.There can be more exciting ways to view the Grand Canyon in person.
C
Summer is always a busy travel season， but even at peak times like July， that doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll see lots of hotels with No Vacancy （空房） signs. More and more travelers are choosing instead to stay in vacation rentals： decorated private houses， rooms， or apartments that only you and your party share for the period of your stay. Or you can get adventurous and book a cabin， a tree house， a houseboat， or even a castle.
The idea appeared in 2007， when Brian Chesky and Joe Gebbia， the owners of a hotel， realizing that a San Francisco tech meeting would make hotel rooms in the area harder to come by， let travelers sleep on air mattresses （充气床垫） in their apartment for a fee. They called it Air Bed and Breakfast， and the company — now known as Airbnb — is worth almost $100 billion today and has six million listings worldwide.
More space is a major attraction of this accommodation the average hotel room measures just 330 square feet， while the average vacation rental room tops 1，300. And in 20 of the largest US cities， average daily rates are comparable to （or slightly lower than） those of hotels.
If you’re willing to share your own digs while you’re away， Love Home Swap pairs you with like-minded travelers for stays in each other’s homes for a membership fee as low as $11 per month. If you’d like to list your home， check your local zoning laws， as some areas have strict rules on short-term rentals. In parts of Honolulu， a new law taking effect in October will up the minimum stay to 90 days.
28.What can we learn from Paragraph 1？（ ）
A.Vacation rentals have replaced hotels nowadays.
B.Travelers have more options of where to live now.
C.Hotels have no empty rooms during travel seasons.
D.Instead of staying in rentals， travelers choose private rooms.
29.What inspired Chesky and Gebbia to start vacation rentals？（ ）
A.The presence of the Airbnb. B.The requirement of travelers.
C.The shortage of hotel rooms. D.The popularity of air mattresses.
30.If you want to use Love Home Swap， you should .（ ）
A.become its member first B.rent your house for free
C.list your house for at least 90 days D.find partners with the similar ideas
31.What’s the purpose of the passage？（ ）
A.To list the various rentals for travelers.
B.To urge hotels to take on more vacation rentals.
C.To compare two different ways to spend vacation.
D.To introduce a new trend on vacation accommodation.
D
Do you like travelling to other places， cities and countries？ Many people do. Tourism is a huge industry — it’s as large as or larger than the oil， food and car industries. It creates so many jobs that one in every ten people in the world works in tourism.
However， for many people and places， tourism is not a completely positive thing. Some places receive millions of tourists a year， which leads to problems for local people. When tour buses block roads， it’s hard for local people to get to work or school. Often， international companies open up， and small shops and restaurants close down. Another problem is accommodation — in Barcelona and New York， for example， many flats and houses are used as tourist accommodation， so homes for local people have become expensive and hard to find.
Tourism can have an effect on the environment as well. Natural areas are ruined to make space to build hotels and tourist facilities， and building them consumes a lot of energy and resources. Historic buildings are damaged， such as those in Venice by large cruise ships entering the city. These ships also do harm to animal and plant life. More tourism means more crowds， noise， rubbish and pollution.
Some governments have already taken action. In Barcelona and New York， there are now limits on short-term rental accommodation. The number of cruise ships entering Venice is limited now too. Importantly， individual tourists can help by choosing better ways of visiting places. For example， if tourists visit Venice on a cruise ship but they sleep and eat all their meals on the ship， does the local community in Venice really benefit from their visit？ If not， it could be better to choose a different form of tourism， one that benefits the city and local people more.
Despite some problems， if we can make tourism more sustainable （可持续的）， everyone can benefit from it， and people can continue to enjoy visiting these places in the future.
32.Why is it hard for New Yorkers to buy cheap houses？（ ）
A.Because tourists buy local flats and houses.
B.Because many houses are needed for travelers.
C.Because the government provides little land to build houses.
D.Because the houses international companies sell are expensive.
33.Why are cruise ships mentioned in Paragraph 3？（ ）
A.To stress plants and animals die from them.
B.To show tourism wastes energy and resources.
C.To explain why tourism is not environmentally friendly.
D.To suggest the necessity of preventing the development of tourism.
34.What does Paragraph 4 mainly stress about tourism？（ ）
A.The cruise ship is not a good choice for tourists.
B.Tourism should be developed in a sustainable way.
C.Local community in Venice shows no interest in tourism.
D.Governments have done extremely well in developing tourism.
35.What is the author’s attitude towards tourism？（ ）
A.Unclear. B.Disapproving.
C.Doubtful. D.Positive.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
My mother was the oldest child in a family of four children. At the age of ten， my mother was charged with all the household responsibilities while her mother went to work. At a time when most children focused on themselves and their needs， my mother looked after the other children， cooked， and cleaned. My aunts and uncle remember that while they were growing up my mother was consistent （始终如一的） and strict with them， with a smile on her face and a song in her heart.
After working for a couple of years， my mother married my father and started her own family. Her four children came every two years. In addition to working full-time， she managed to attend each child’s school and sporting events， and keep us all on the straight and narrow.
Having learned about her hard childhood and knowing that my father was really her “fifth and worst” child， I decided that when I completed graduate school I would take my mother on the first of what would become our annual mother-daughter trip. Since I landed a well-paid job， I told her to pick any place she wanted to go and I would make it happen. She had never been more than fifty miles from our home， so she was very excited.
For the first three years， we went to Bermuda， Arizona， and Charleston. However， during my fourth year after graduate school， I opened my own business， and I was very hard up. I didn’t want my mother to know， so I didn’t let on when she said she wanted to go to the Bahamas.
I searched for the least expensive way to make this trip happen and ended up with a “package” that included air tickets， food and hotel stays. Even now， when I think about that trip， I experience some discomfort. The old airplane was very tiny. We had to share the hotel room with local insects.
After a long flight and a terrible bus ride to our hotel， most passengers were tired and disappointed. However， my mother always kept a positive attitude.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式作答。
To make matters worse， we had to stand in a long line under the hot sun to get our room key.
When I was complaining about the sudden rain， my mother looked at the swimming pool with a bright light in her eyes.

W：Ervin says it’s always too noisy to enjoy the meal at nightclubs.
M：Shall we go somewhere quiet？
（Text 6）
M：Could you take this down to the accounting office for me， please？
W：Sure， Mr Stone. I was just on my way down to the shipping department which is on the 5th floor， anyway. The accounting office is just one floor above it， so it’s right on the way.
M：Great. Maybe when you get back， I could take you to the Thai restaurant you’re always telling me about.
（Text 7）
W：What did you think of the speech by Professor Green yesterday afternoon？
M：I thought it was long and boring. I left the lecture hall before the speech ended.
W：Where did you go then？
M：I went to the library and borrowed some books and then read some magazines in the reading room. Did you stay in the lecture hall all afternoon？
W：Yes. Another three professors gave speeches besides Mr Green.
M：How about their speeches？
W：I thought all the speeches were interesting and meaningful. I think I learned a lot from them. I really think you shouldn’t have left the lecture hall before the speeches ended.

M：Er， well， either Monday or Friday would be good. Which day do you think would be better for Mr Smith？
W：Er， as far as he’s concerned， Monday will be fine.
M：Oh， that’s great.

W：Mark is so popular. Everywhere I go， people know him. He must be a native of Chicago.
M：No， he’s been here for only one year. I’ve been in town twice as long as he has， and it seems I only have a handful of friends.
W：That’s amazing. Why is he so popular？
M：Well， it’s probably his personality. He’s funny， of course， but I think people like him because he is always willing to spend time with them and help others.
W：That would explain it. What about you？ Why are you having trouble keeping up with Mark？
M：I don’t know， but it’s probably because I’m the opposite of Mark. I’m always serious. My work is busy， too， so I don’t have a chance to meet many people.
W：Do you want me to throw a party to introduce you to some of my friends， John？
M：Jessica， I want to meet them， but I’m a little shy. Do you think I really need as many friends as Mark？
W：Maybe not， but don’t you wish you could spend more time with other people？
M：Sometimes. But I can always go online and chat with someone， so I don’t think I need to be so popular.
（Text 10）
M：Well， Monica， I’m sure you’ll enjoy working here. I’m the librarian. We’re open from half past eight in the morning until eight in the evening but you’re not expected to be here all that time. You start working at a quarter to nine and finish at a quarter past five， OK？ Now， students aren’t allowed to bring large bags into the library. But staff can bring their bags in and leave them in the office. You have an hour for lunch. But I don’t like staff eating in the library. Of course you can have a cup of coffee there while you’re working. If you bring sandwiches for lunch， there’s a common room downstairs where you can eat them.If you want to buy lunch， I’d recommend the dining room upstairs. There are cafés in the town center but it’s a bit of rush to get there and back in an hour though they’re cheap. OK. Any questions？

37.E 上文说明旅行有助于探索新文化，并说明世界各地的文化不同。E项（如果你喜欢探索不同的文化，旅行不会让你失望）承接上文，符合语境。
38.C 空前一句说明旅行可以帮助发现新菜肴。C项（没有体验当地食物的旅行是不完整的）承接上文，符合语境。
39.A 下文说明旅行可以让我们遇到兴趣相投的人，与他们建立联系。A项（旅行有助于结交新朋友）引出下文，符合语境。
40.G 上文说明旅游可以帮助展示新的自我，而大多数人不愿意走出舒适区。G项（但你应该记住，当你改变自己时，新的生活就开始了）与上文形成转折关系，符合语境。
第三部分
语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章通过讲述作者个人的旅行经历，阐述了假期的意义在于朋友和家人。无论他们是以什么形式出现，这些都给作者留下了深刻的记忆。
41.C 根据上文I am good at finding last minute flights that allowed me to reach my destinations affordably可知，作为一名背包客，作者擅长在最后一分钟找到能让自己负担得起的到达目的地的航班，这个诀窍就是在假期的时候乘坐飞机出去度假放松。
42.B 根据下文I found it on the Internet： Mexico City可知，作者反复在互联网上寻找旅游地，故右手因为点击网页而感到酸痛。
43.A 根据下文and fly back on New Year’s Day， as there was no New Year’s Eve 44 to attend可知，作者选择的是往返旅行。
44.D 根据上文no New Year’s Eve可知，新年前一天作者没有派对要参加。
45.C 根据下文Each morning I woke to the best black coffee， which my host father affectionately called “gasolina”.可知，因为寄宿家庭上了年纪的男主人在每天早晨作者醒来时都会给他提供好喝的黑咖啡。由此可知，作者幸运地找到了寄宿家庭。
46.A 根据上文She’d show me the sites可知，寄宿家庭的女主人会指给作者看游客地图上没有的景点。
47.D 根据下文old cobblestones （鹅卵石） and brightly coloured buildings changed colour可知，古老的鹅卵石和色彩鲜艳的建筑在阳光照射下会变色。因此，作者简直不敢相信这个小镇如此美丽，也被小镇深深吸引。
48.B 参见上题解析。
49.A 根据下文New Year was already upon us可知，作者希望能够多待一会，可是新年即将到来，即不能停留时间过长。前后构成转折关系，故用but。
50.C 根据下文I planned to celebrate the holiday alone可知，作者不想打扰他的寄宿家庭。
51.D 根据上文but可知，作者不想打扰寄宿家庭的老夫妇，打算一个人庆祝这个节日，但他们坚持要作者和他们一起庆祝。
52.C 此处whom指代上文的寄宿家庭，即表示作者认识寄宿家庭的这对夫妇只有一个星期。
53.A 根据上文Everyone in the family hugged me and wished me a happy new year.可知，寄宿家庭里的每个人都拥抱了作者，祝愿作者新年快乐，即让作者感到舒服。
54.B 根据下文before returning to my room to get ready for my early flight可知，作者不得不在回房间准备早班飞机前说再见。
55.B 根据首段Fly out on the holiday itself.可知，通过这次经历，作者明白了乘坐航班外出旅行的意义就是飞出去度假结识他人和朋友。故此处表示这次经历提醒了作者假期的意义。
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章为第一次到桂林旅游的游客提供了游玩建议。
56.to take 考查非谓语动词。be advised to do sth意为“被建议做某事”，故填to take。
57.the 考查冠词。空处表特指，可数名词river前需加定冠词the。
58.about 考查介词。worry about意为“替……担忧”，故填about。
59.getting 考查非谓语动词。avoid doing sth避免做某事，故填getting。
60.choice 考查词形转换。根据空前的定冠词the可知，此处需用名词作表语，故填choice。
61.especially 考查词形转换。分析句子结构可知，此处应用副词作状语，故填especially。
62.who/that 考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知，空处引导限制性定语从句，先行词people指人，在从句中作主语，故填who/that。
63.impressive 考查词形转换。分析句子结构可知，此处要用形容词与and后的pleasing共同充当定语，故填impressive。
64.is recommended 考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。分析句子结构可知，空处为句子的谓语。陈述现阶段所发生的事情要用一般现在时，主语Hiking与recommend之间为被动关系，应用一般现在时的被动语态，主语为Hiking，谓语动词应用单数形式，故填is recommended。
65.more 考查形容词的比较级。根据下文中的than可知，空处要用形容词的比较级，故填more。
第四部分
第一节
Dear John，
Having received your email asking about my Spring Festival holiday plan， I’m more than delighted to share it with you.
To explore the splendid culture of China， I， together with some of my classmates， am planning a trip to Henan Province by high-speed train.Henan， known as “the Central Plains”， is one of the important birthplaces of Chinese civilization.We’ll visit two major cities in Henan， Luoyang and Kaifeng， both of which served as capital cities of several dynasties， boasting a rich historical heritage and many scenic attractions as well.
What about your arrangements for your vacation？
Yours，
Li Hua
第二节
To make matters worse， we had to stand in a long line under the hot sun to get our room key. Since there was no place to store our bags， we carried our things along with us in the line snaking towards the front desk. Just when I thought things could not get worse， the late afternoon rains common to the Bahamas blew in. We all got wet and almost lost our enjoyment in travelling. Finally， I was at the end of my patience.
When I was complaining about the sudden rain， my mother looked at the swimming pool with a bright light in her eyes. With a quick kiss on my face， my mother walked over to the swimming pool， took off her glasses， and jumped in fully clothed， shoes and all， shouting “Yahoo！” “This is a great way to cool down！” I thought to myself. I followed my mother into the swimming pool， but I was smart enough to take off my shoes before I ran over to the pool and jumped in next to her. Several other people joined us in the pool.

（Text 1）
M：Have you finished your homework， Jane？
W：Not yet. The temperature is so low that my hands are freezing.
（Text 2）
M：I thought that you would go to Jim’s wedding yesterday.
W：I was planning to， but my daughter Lucy wasn’t feeling well， so I
stayed at home.
（Text 3）
W：Well， I’m calling about the Wildlife Protection Group I belong to.
We’re looking for more people to join， especially men. And I thought
you might be interested.
M：Oh. You know how much I love wildlife， but this is my last year in
the middle school. I’m quite busy with my lessons.
（Text 4）
M：Is Mr Stephen in his room， please？ He has called to see me after
the dinner.
W：If he is in， his key will be here. Yes， sir. Room 202. He is in his
room.Would you like to ring up first， sir？
（Text 5）
M：Why don’t you and Ervin join us for dinner tonight？ The five of us
haven’t gone out together for a long time.
W：Ervin says it’s always too noisy to enjoy the meal at nightclubs.
M：Shall we go somewhere quiet？
（Text 6）
M：Could you take this down to the accounting office for me， please？
W：Sure， Mr Stone. I was just on my way down to the shipping
department which is on the 5th floor， anyway. The accounting office is
just one floor above it， so it’s right on the way.
M：Great. Maybe when you get back， I could take you to the Thai
restaurant you’re always telling me about.
（Text 7）
W：What did you think of the speech by Professor Green yesterday
afternoon？
M：I thought it was long and boring. I left the lecture hall before the
speech ended.
W：Where did you go then？
M：I went to the library and borrowed some books and then read some
magazines in the reading room. Did you stay in the lecture hall all
afternoon？
W：Yes. Another three professors gave speeches besides Mr Green.
M：How about their speeches？
W：I thought all the speeches were interesting and meaningful. I think I
learned a lot from them. I really think you shouldn’t have left the lecture
hall before the speeches ended.
（Text 8）
M：Hello. Could I speak to Mr Smith’s secretary， please？
W：Yes. It’s Mr Smith’s secretary speaking.
M：Oh， hello， this is Mr Green’s Service in London.
W：What can I do for you？
M：Well， my boss Mr Green is coming out to Tokyo in the first week of
December and I want to check whether you know he is coming.
W：I did already know about it. He’s coming for the conference.
M：That’s right， and he would really like to take up Mr Smith’s offer
to visit the factory.
W：When would it suit Mr Green？ The conference will be running from
Tuesday to Thursday.
M：Er， well， either Monday or Friday would be good. Which day do
you think would be better for Mr Smith？
W：Er， as far as he’s concerned， Monday will be fine.
M：Oh， that’s great.
（Text 9）
W：Mark is so popular. Everywhere I go， people know him. He must
be a native of Chicago.
M：No， he’s been here for only one year. I’ve been in town twice as
long as he has， and it seems I only have a handful of friends.
W：That’s amazing. Why is he so popular？
M：Well， it’s probably his personality. He’s funny， of course， but
I think people like him because he is always willing to spend time with
them and help others.
W：That would explain it. What about you？ Why are you having trouble
keeping up with Mark？
M：I don’t know， but it’s probably because I’m the opposite of
Mark. I’m always serious. My work is busy， too， so I don’t have a
chance to meet many people.
W：Do you want me to throw a party to introduce you to some of my
friends， John？
M：Jessica， I want to meet them， but I’m a little shy. Do you think I
really need as many friends as Mark？
W：Maybe not， but don’t you wish you could spend more time with
other people？
M：Sometimes. But I can always go online and chat with someone， so I
don’t think I need to be so popular.
（Text 10）
M：Well， Monica， I’m sure you’ll enjoy working here. I’m the
librarian. We’re open from half past eight in the morning until eight in
the evening but you’re not expected to be here all that time. You start
working at a quarter to nine and finish at a quarter past five， OK？
Now， students aren’t allowed to bring large bags into the library. But
staff can bring their bags in and leave them in the office. You have an hour
for lunch. But I don’t like staff eating in the library. Of course you can
have a cup of coffee there while you’re working.
If you bring sandwiches for lunch， there’s a common room downstairs
where you can eat them.If you want to buy lunch， I’d recommend the
dining room upstairs. There are cafés in the town center but it’s a bit of
rush to get there and back in an hour though they’re cheap. OK. Any
questions？

Rome can be expensive for travelers， which is why many choose to
stay in a hostel （旅社）.
Yellow Hostel
If I had to make just one recommendation for where to stay in
Rome， it would be Yellow Hostel. It’s one of the best hostels in the
city， and for good reason. It’s affordable， and it’s fun without being
too noisy. As an added advantage， it’s close to the main train station.
Hostel Alessandro Palace
If you love social hostels， this is the best hostel for you in Rome.
Hostel Alessandro Palace is fun. Staff members hold plenty of bar events
for guests. There’s also an area on the rooftop for hanging out with other
travelers during the summer.
Youth Station Hostel
If you’re looking for a clean and modern hostel， look no further
than Youth Station. It offers beautiful furnishings （家具陈设）. There
are plenty of other benefits， too： it doesn’t charge city tax； it has
both air conditioning and a heater for the rooms； it also has free Wi-Fi in
every room.
Hotel and Hostel Des Artistes
Hotel and Hostel Des Artistes is located just a 10-minute walk from
the central city station and it’s close to all of the city’s main attractions.
The staff is friendly and helpful， who will offer you a map of the city
when you arrive， and advice if you require some. However， you need
to pay 2 euros a day for Wi-Fi.

They say there are three ways to experience the Grand Canyon： on
foot， on mules （骡子） or by air. We chose the first. Up early， my
husband and I and our three children couldn’t wait to get started. We
decided to walk along a lovely path named Bright Angel Trail.
As we set out， I was shocked at how narrow the path was. And I
couldn’t help noticing that the other tourists weren’t like us. They had
heavy backpacks， water bottles， and hats， but as usual we were
dressed. As the sun rose higher， Arizona’s famous heat seemed to roast
us. There was no shade and our legs were aching. We decided to go
back， with the girl on my back and the boys far behind. By the time we
finally got back， our legs were like jelly.
The next day， after we’d had along rest and a good breakfast， we
were ready for another view of the Canyon — by air. After our last walk，
this would be the easiest thing in the world.
We called to each other excitedly as the plane circled around the
Canyon. But the smiles on our faces disappeared as the pilot tossed （翻
转） the plane around， pretending he was going to hit the ground. I
shouted，“STOP， TAKE US BACK！” When we finally arrived back
on land， once again our legs were like jelly. We hardly spoke as we
drove back.
As I said， there are three ways to view the Grand Canyon. We never
tried the mules， but personally I’d suggest a fourth： buy yourself a
good magazine like National Geographic. That way， you can see the
Canyon， without fear or tiredness.

乘飞机游览，结果受到了惊吓。

A. They made careful preparations before the trip.
B. The children were more excited than their parents.
C. The heat didn’t prevent them from finishing the walk.
D. Bright Angel Trail was not as lovely as they expected.
解析： 推理判断题。根据第二段内容可知，作者一家没有想
到这条路这么狭窄，在徒步的过程中他们要忍受高温，腿很痛，
孩子们都走不动路了。由此可知，光明天使小径并不像他们想象
的那么令人愉快。
25. What does the underlined sentence “our legs were like jelly” in
Paragraph 2 probably mean？（ ）
A. We were tired.
B. We were injured.
C. We were relaxed.

A. Because the pilot almost hit the ground.
B. Because they got frightened on the plane.
C. Because they arrived back on land later than expected.
D. Because the plane only circled around the Grand Canyon once.
解析： 细节理解题。根据第四段内容可知，作者一家乘飞机
游览大峡谷的时候，飞行员翻转飞机，假装快要撞到地面，引发
了大家的恐惧，所以回去的时候他们几乎不说话。
27. What can we infer from the last paragraph？（ ）
A. A good magazine about the Grand Canyon is more affordable.
B. Visiting the Grand Canyon on mules would be the best option.
C. The trip to the Grand Canyon does not necessarily suit everyone.
D. There can be more exciting ways to view the Grand Canyon in person.
解析： 推理判断题。根据最后一段内容可知，作者以开玩笑
的方式建议读者不必亲自去游览大峡谷，而是看看就好，因为亲
自去很有可能会经历恐惧和疲劳。由此推知，大峡谷之旅不一定
适合每个人。
C
Summer is always a busy travel season， but even at peak times like
July， that doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll see lots of hotels with No
Vacancy （空房） signs. More and more travelers are choosing instead to
stay in vacation rentals： decorated private houses， rooms， or
apartments that only you and your party share for the period of your stay.
Or you can get adventurous and book a cabin， a tree house， a
houseboat， or even a castle.
The idea appeared in 2007， when Brian Chesky and Joe Gebbia，
the owners of a hotel， realizing that a San Francisco tech meeting would
make hotel rooms in the area harder to come by， let travelers sleep on air
mattresses （充气床垫） in their apartment for a fee. They called it Air
Bed and Breakfast， and the company — now known as Airbnb — is
worth almost $100 billion today and has six million listings worldwide.
More space is a major attraction of this accommodation the average
hotel room measures just 330 square feet， while the average vacation
rental room tops 1，300. And in 20 of the largest US cities， average
daily rates are comparable to （or slightly lower than） those of hotels.
If you’re willing to share your own digs while you’re away，
Love Home Swap pairs you with like-minded travelers for stays in each
other’s homes for a membership fee as low as $11 per month. If you’d
like to list your home， check your local zoning laws， as some areas
have strict rules on short-term rentals. In parts of Honolulu， a new law
taking effect in October will up the minimum stay to 90 days.

Do you like travelling to other places， cities and countries？ Many
people do. Tourism is a huge industry — it’s as large as or larger than the
oil， food and car industries. It creates so many jobs that one in every ten
people in the world works in tourism.
However， for many people and places， tourism is not a completely
positive thing. Some places receive millions of tourists a year， which
leads to problems for local people. When tour buses block roads， it’s
hard for local people to get to work or school. Often， international
companies open up， and small shops and restaurants close down.
Another problem is accommodation — in Barcelona and New York， for
example， many flats and houses are used as tourist accommodation， so
homes for local people have become expensive and hard to find.
Tourism can have an effect on the environment as well. Natural areas
are ruined to make space to build hotels and tourist facilities， and
building them consumes a lot of energy and resources. Historic buildings
are damaged， such as those in Venice by large cruise ships entering the
city. These ships also do harm to animal and plant life. More tourism
means more crowds， noise， rubbish and pollution.
Some governments have already taken action. In Barcelona and New
York， there are now limits on short-term rental accommodation. The
number of cruise ships entering Venice is limited now too. Importantly，
individual tourists can help by choosing better ways of visiting places. For
example， if tourists visit Venice on a cruise ship but they sleep and eat all
their meals on the ship， does the local community in Venice really benefit
from their visit？ If not， it could be better to choose a different form of
tourism， one that benefits the city and local people more.
Despite some problems， if we can make tourism more sustainable
（可持续的）， everyone can benefit from it， and people can continue
to enjoy visiting these places in the future.

扰，也会带来环境问题，但是好在一些政府已经采取了有效措施，
如果我们能使旅游业更具可持续性，每个人都可以从中受益。
32. Why is it hard for New Yorkers to buy cheap houses？（ ）
A. Because tourists buy local flats and houses.
B. Because many houses are needed for travelers.
C. Because the government provides little land to build houses.
D. Because the houses international companies sell are expensive.
解析： 细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句可知，纽约人很难
买到便宜的房子是因为游客需要很多房子。
33. Why are cruise ships mentioned in Paragraph 3？（ ）
A. To stress plants and animals die from them.
B. To show tourism wastes energy and resources.
C. To explain why tourism is not environmentally friendly.
D. To suggest the necessity of preventing the development of tourism.
解析： 推理判断题。根据第三段前两句可知，第三段提到游
轮是为了解释为什么旅游业不环保。
34. What does Paragraph 4 mainly stress about tourism？（ ）
A. The cruise ship is not a good choice for tourists.
B. Tourism should be developed in a sustainable way.
C. Local community in Venice shows no interest in tourism.
D. Governments have done extremely well in developing tourism.
解析： 段落大意题。根据第四段第一句可知，第四段主要强
调了各国政府在发展旅游业方面做得非常好。
35. What is the author’s attitude towards tourism？（ ）
A. Unclear. B. Disapproving.
C. Doubtful. D. Positive.
解析： 观点态度题。根据最后一段内容可知，作者对旅游业
的态度是积极的。

第二节（满分25分）
阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构
成一篇完整的短文。
My mother was the oldest child in a family of four children. At the
age of ten， my mother was charged with all the household responsibilities
while her mother went to work. At a time when most children focused on
themselves and their needs， my mother looked after the other children，
cooked， and cleaned. My aunts and uncle remember that while they were
growing up my mother was consistent （始终如一的） and strict with
them， with a smile on her face and a song in her heart.
After working for a couple of years， my mother married my father
and started her own family. Her four children came every two years. In
addition to working full-time， she managed to attend each child’s
school and sporting events， and keep us all on the straight and narrow.
Having learned about her hard childhood and knowing that my father
was really her “fifth and worst” child， I decided that when I completed
graduate school I would take my mother on the first of what would become
our annual mother-daughter trip. Since I landed a well-paid job， I told
her to pick any place she wanted to go and I would make it happen. She
had never been more than fifty miles from our home， so she was very
excited.
For the first three years， we went to Bermuda， Arizona， and
Charleston. However， during my fourth year after graduate school， I
opened my own business， and I was very hard up. I didn’t want my
mother to know， so I didn’t let on when she said she wanted to go to the
Bahamas.
I searched for the least expensive way to make this trip happen and
ended up with a “package” that included air tickets， food and hotel
stays. Even now， when I think about that trip， I experience some
discomfort. The old airplane was very tiny. We had to share the hotel
room with local insects.
After a long flight and a terrible bus ride to our hotel， most
passengers were tired and disappointed. However， my mother always
kept a positive attitude.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式作答。
To make matters worse， we had to stand in a long line under the
hot sun to get our room
key.
When I was complaining about the sudden rain， my mother
looked at the swimming pool with a bright light in her eyes.
参考范文：
To make matters worse， we had to stand in a long line under the hot
sun to get our room key. Since there was no place to store our bags， we
carried our things along with us in the line snaking towards the front desk.
Just when I thought things could not get worse， the late afternoon rains
common to the Bahamas blew in. We all got wet and almost lost our
enjoyment in travelling. Finally， I was at the end of my patience.
When I was complaining about the sudden rain， my mother looked
at the swimming pool with a bright light in her eyes. With a quick kiss on
my face， my mother walked over to the swimming pool， took off her
glasses， and jumped in fully clothed， shoes and all， shouting
“Yahoo！” “This is a great way to cool down！” I thought to myself.
I followed my mother into the swimming pool， but I was smart enough to
take off my shoes before I ran over to the pool and jumped in next to her.
Several other people joined us in the pool.
谢谢观看！
