America's Top 4 Tourist Attractions
Below you'll find the most popular travel and vacation destinations in the US.
1．Times Square，New York City
This Manhattan crossroads of commerce is the top spot on our list，thanks to increasing visitors to the Big Apple in 2008 despite the economic turndown.According to statistics，“80% of visitors to NYC make it a point to visit Times Square.”Total NYC visits last year were 47 million，giving us an estimate of 37.6 million travelers through the“Crossroads of the World”．
2．The Las Vegas Strip，Nev.
The“Neon Trail”that makes up the heart of Sin City is also part of the federal government's National Scenic Byways Program，which designates roads based on “archeological，cultural，historic，natural，recreational and scenic qualities”．Hard to say which of these qualities best describes Vegas，but we can disqualify“natural”．Last year，total visitors to Las Vegas numbered 37.5 million；a poll by the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority found that an average of 80% of visitors had either stayed overnight or gambled(赌博)on the Strip.
3．National Mall and Memorial Parks，Washington，D.C.
Many of the nation's iconic(图标的)public landmarks are found in the 1,000－plus acres of the National Mall and Memorial Parks，including the Washington Monument，the Lincoln and Jefferson memorials，and the Korean and Vietnam War Veterans memorials.The Smithsonian Institution's 19 museums are also close to the Mall；last year，the network of free museums drew more than 25 million visitors.
4．Faneuil Hall Marketplace，Boston
Built in 1742 by Peter Faneuil，a wealthy Boston merchant，Faneuil Hall served as a commercial center of the city for centuries and a site for famous orations(演说)，like Samuel Adams' independence－rallying speech to colonists.Faneuil also includes the restored 19th－century Quincy Market.Today，shoppers account for a large share of visitors.Faneuil's historic significance vaults it to the status of cultural attraction，attracting 20 million visitors every year.

阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
When Debbie Macomber decided to pursue her dream of becoming a writer，she rented a typewriter，put it on the kitchen table，and began typing each morning before the kids went to school.When the kids came home，she moved the typewriter and made them dinner.When they went to bed，she moved it back and typed some more.For two years，Debbie followed this routine.Supermom had become a struggling writer and she was loving every minute of it.
One night，however，her husband，said to her，“Honey，I'm sorry，but you're not bringing in any income.We can't do this anymore.We can't survive on just what I make.”
That night，her heart broken and her mind too busy to let her sleep.She stared at the ceiling in their darkened bedroom.Debbie knew—with all of the responsibilities of keeping up a house and looking after four kids—that working 40 hours a week would leave her no time to write.
Seeing her despair，her husband woke up and asked，“What's wrong？”
“I really think I could have made it as a writer，I really do.”
Wayne was silent for a long time，and then said，“All right，honey，go for it.”
So Debbie returned to her dream and her typewriter on the kitchen table，pounding out page after page for another two years.Her family went without vacations，pinched pennies，and wore hand－me－downs.
But the sacrifice and the persistence finally paid off.After five years of struggling，Debbie sold her first book.Then another.And another.Until finally，today，Debbie has published more than 100 books，three of which have been sold for movies.Over 60 million copies are in print，and she has millions of loyal fans.
And Wayne？All that sacrifice in support of his wife paid off handsomely.He got to retire at age 50 and now spends his time building an airplane in the basement of their 7,000 square－foot mansion.
Debbie's kids got a gift far more important than a few summer camps.As adults，they realize what Debbie gave them was far more important—permission and encouragement to pursue their own dreams.
1．Her husband asked her to give up writing because ________.
A．he wanted her to do more housework rather than just write
B．she couldn't earn any money and it was hard for them to make ends meet
C．he wanted her to find a better－paid job that interested her
D．he thought keeping up a house was a wife's responsibility

B．Debbie's family often went out on vacations without her.
C．Debbie's husband gave up his own job to support her writing.
D．Debbie's success has brought her lots of money.
3．We can infer from the last paragraph that ________.
A．Wayne doesn't benefit from her wife's success
B．Debbie has great influence on her children's going after their dreams
C．Debbie's kids all realized their dreams as adults
D．Debbie is a failure as a mother while she is a success as a writer
4．What's probably the best title for the passage?
A．Go for it B．A great mother
C．Union is strength D．Writing pays more

阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
It's interesting to see how people make use of the time they spend on public transport in Indian cities like Delhi and Mumbai.
In crowded buses and trains people manage to take a short nap and some even reach the snoring stage.Or they spread out a newspaper over multiple knees and arms to read about the latest sport results or political crisis.
Then there are the experienced travellers who have been playing cards with the same group over the last decade or so.They even have their specific seats so well－worn that you can make out the shape of their backsides.
There is no doubt about it.Travelling by public transport is being in the thick of the seasons of life－a sweaty life in summer where people，blissfully unaware of the rivers of sweat running down their brows and inside their clothes.At the first smell of a perfumed man or woman boarding the stuffy bus or train，most people feel they are reborn.
During the rains you can't avoid getting wet or muddied.The windows，almost always，are not a perfect fit and if you're not drenched by a sudden，heavy rain shower then you are bound to catch a jet spray of muddy water caused by a fellow motorist driving fast through a puddle.
The rains are a perfect time for people to switch their old umbrellas for new ones.Since there are so many that look alike，it's impossible to tell whose is whose.
Winter is the time when it feels good－or at least warm—to be part of a crowd.It is amazing how much the collective breaths of a hundred or so people can raise the freezing temperature inside.Looking at the masses dressed in their bright red pullovers or green coats，it's fun to imagine what faces lie beneath their dark woolen hats.
The cold winter passes，making way for spring.It is impossible not to see every little flower by the wayside blooming proudly.And the warm sun manages to transmit some of their pleasantness to the inside of a bus or train.
Now，wouldn't it be perfect if we had public transport worth the name in all our cities?
1．On Indian public transport，you can always expect to see people ________.
A．sleeping and reading newspapers
B．arguing and playing games
C．enjoying the view and playing cards
D．carrying umbrellas and whispering politely
2．According to the author what will make passengers feel refreshed when travelling in summer?
A．The cool evening breeze.
B．The rain pouring over their clothes.
C．The joy of a game of cards.
D．The sweet fragrance of a new passenger.
3．If you see people in colourful clothing and breathing heavily，you are probably travelling during the ________.
A．summer B．rainy seasons
C．winter D．spring
4．We can infer from the passage that ________.
A．Indian people don't mind switching umbrellas with others
B．almost everyone in India wears perfume when they go out
C．the buses and trains are old and in poor conditions
D．Indian transport is the most crowded in the world
5．What is the tune of language used in this passage?
A．Humourous. B．Critical.
C．Frightening. D．Concerned.

请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格中填入最适当的单词。 每空格1个单词。
Everyone needs a break, and vacations are not meant for serious study. Instead, they’re a great way to take a break and enjoy a good book. The Spring Festival is coming up so this is the perfect time to discuss some great English language literature to take on a long train journey or while you’re hanging out with the family.
Before getting into the recommendations, we need to determine your English reading comprehension level so you don’t pick a book which is so challenging that it’s stressful or so simple that it’s boring.
If you’re at the beginner level, there are two options: reading a children’s book or reading a book that you’ve read in Chinese translation. This will help you get over any unfamiliar words or phrases, since you’re already familiar with the story. If you’re at the intermediate level, popular books like pop fiction, mysteries and thrillers are good options, as they’ll be guaranteed page turners and that will increase the possibility of your getting all the way through the book. For advanced readers, science fiction, classic works of literature or contemporary prize winners （Booker, Nobel, Pulitzer） are good options.
The most important thing is to pick a book that you’re really interested in. When I pick up a new book in Chinese, the first few chapters are always really hard to get through, as I have to get accustomed to the way the individual author uses the language. But after the first few chapters, things get a lot easier, especially if I get involved in the story. Some of my favorite Chinese-language eye candy are books that are series like Brothers by Yu Hua or The Dancer by Hai Yan. I like them because there’s always a lot of action and story development to keep me involved, which helps me make it through those first few chapters.
Another great way to keep yourself motivated over the holiday is to find a friend who’s interested in reading the same book. You can make goals that you both want to achieve and discuss plot lines or vocabulary issues with each other by SMS or e-mail. I’m currently doing that with my friend Laura. We’ve been doing this since we were classmates in Chinese at college.
Some quick recommendations: Harry Potter, start with the first book and go on from there; the Narnia series; anything by US writer Michael Crichton or British writer Agatha Christie; and if you like horror, US writer Stephen King is always unusual and fun. But really you should just find a topic or author that you’re interested in, and the rest will go from there. Happy reading!

V、七选五
（2016高考—任务型阅读—训练）下面文章中有5个段落需要添加小标题(第1～5题)。请从以下选项(A、B、C、D、E和F)中选出适合各段落的小标题。选项中有一项是多余选项。
A．How inner beliefs can help
B．How to develop positive habits
C．Improve your life
D．You can do it
E.Action plan
F．Why are habits so important?
The single most important factor that contributes to success is what you do every single day.It is as simple as that.Your habits will determine whether you are successful or not.If you have strong and healthy positive habits, it does not matter whether or not you fail today because you are guaranteed to succeed in the long run.
1．________
Because you repeat the same actions and the same behaviors every single day, a single positive action will not change your life，but the same action repeated 1，000 times will have a significant impact on your life.For example, if you go to the gym one time, you won't see a big difference in your life.However, if you go to the gym 1，000 times over a five year period, you will see a big difference in your body.The same principle applies to finance, health, relationships, work, career, and school.Simple positive actions repeated every single day will have a great impact on your life in the long run.
2．________
There's nothing easier than developing positive habits.You simply have to do every single day the action you want to make a habit.If you want to develop the habit of running, run almost every day.If you want to develop the habit of eating healthy, eat healthy every day.If you want to develop the habit of reading, read every day.Habits are created by repetition.The more you do an action, the easier it becomes in the long run.
3．________
If you want to be successful in changing your habits, you should think about changing your inner beliefs about your habits.For example, your old belief was：“I love cigarette because it makes me feel good and relaxed.I need cigarette to be happy and relaxed.” If you keep this belief, you won't be able to keep your resolution to stop smoking for very long.Instead, you should adopt this new belief：“I love yoga because it makes me feel good and relaxed.Cigarette is poisonous and destroys my body.Yoga makes me happy.” You should analyze your beliefs and make sure they won't stop you from changing your habits.The same is true when you try to form positive habits.If you want to start eating healthy food, here are some positive beliefs you should start thinking about：“Healthy food is very good for my health.It gives me a lot of energy and I feel very good.”
4．________
It's now time for you to develop positive habits in your life and avoid your negative habits.Write down 3 positive habits that you would like to develop and 3 negative habits that you would like to get rid of.For each positive habit, write down exactly what actions you're going to take every single day in order to develop the new habit.For each negative habit, write own exactly what actions you're not going to take in the next weeks.Here are some positive habits that will lead to success：exercise, healthy food, reading, saving, studying, healthy relationships, hard work, etc.Here are some negative habits to get rid of：gambling, drug and alcohol abuse, overeating, shyness, etc.
5．________
Everybody can change.All it takes is courage and commitment.Decide right now to improve your life by changing your habits.Take action right now! Don't be afraid.Yes, you will probably make mistakes along the way.But never forget that success is guaranteed for you if you have positive habits in your life.If you refuse to quit, success will be yours.

When Debbie Macomber decided to pursue her dream of becoming a writer，she rented a typewriter，put it on the kitchen table，and began typing each morning before the kids went to school.When the kids came home，she moved the typewriter and made them dinner.When they went to bed，she moved it back and typed some more.For two years，Debbie followed this routine.Supermom had become a struggling writer and she was loving every minute of it.
One night，however，her husband，said to her，“Honey，I'm sorry，but you're not bringing in any income.We can't do this anymore.We can't survive on just what I make.”
That night，her heart broken and her mind too busy to let her sleep.She stared at the ceiling in their darkened bedroom.Debbie knew—with all of the responsibilities of keeping up a house and looking after four kids—that working 40 hours a week would leave her no time to write.
Seeing her despair，her husband woke up and asked，“What's wrong？”
“I really think I could have made it as a writer，I really do.”
Wayne was silent for a long time，and then said，“All right，honey，go for it.”
So Debbie returned to her dream and her typewriter on the kitchen table，pounding out page after page for another two years.Her family went without vacations，pinched pennies，and wore hand－me－downs.
But the sacrifice and the persistence finally paid off.After five years of struggling，Debbie sold her first book.Then another.And another.Until finally，today，Debbie has published more than 100 books，three of which have been sold for movies.Over 60 million copies are in print，and she has millions of loyal fans.
And Wayne？All that sacrifice in support of his wife paid off handsomely.He got to retire at age 50 and now spends his time building an airplane in the basement of their 7,000 square－foot mansion.
Debbie's kids got a gift far more important than a few summer camps.As adults，they realize what Debbie gave them was far more important—permission and encouragement to pursue their own dreams.

阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
It's interesting to see how people make use of the time they spend on public transport in Indian cities like Delhi and Mumbai.
In crowded buses and trains people manage to take a short nap and some even reach the snoring stage.Or they spread out a newspaper over multiple knees and arms to read about the latest sport results or political crisis.
Then there are the experienced travellers who have been playing cards with the same group over the last decade or so.They even have their specific seats so well－worn that you can make out the shape of their backsides.
There is no doubt about it.Travelling by public transport is being in the thick of the seasons of life－a sweaty life in summer where people，blissfully unaware of the rivers of sweat running down their brows and inside their clothes.At the first smell of a perfumed man or woman boarding the stuffy bus or train，most people feel they are reborn.
During the rains you can't avoid getting wet or muddied.The windows，almost always，are not a perfect fit and if you're not drenched by a sudden，heavy rain shower then you are bound to catch a jet spray of muddy water caused by a fellow motorist driving fast through a puddle.
The rains are a perfect time for people to switch their old umbrellas for new ones.Since there are so many that look alike，it's impossible to tell whose is whose.
Winter is the time when it feels good－or at least warm—to be part of a crowd.It is amazing how much the collective breaths of a hundred or so people can raise the freezing temperature inside.Looking at the masses dressed in their bright red pullovers or green coats，it's fun to imagine what faces lie beneath their dark woolen hats.
The cold winter passes，making way for spring.It is impossible not to see every little flower by the wayside blooming proudly.And the warm sun manages to transmit some of their pleasantness to the inside of a bus or train.
Now，wouldn't it be perfect if we had public transport worth the name in all our cities?
1．On Indian public transport，you can always expect to see people ________.
A．sleeping and reading newspapers
B．arguing and playing games
C．enjoying the view and playing cards
D．carrying umbrellas and whispering politely
2．According to the author what will make passengers feel refreshed when travelling in summer?
A．The cool evening breeze.
B．The rain pouring over their clothes.
C．The joy of a game of cards.
D．The sweet fragrance of a new passenger.
3．If you see people in colourful clothing and breathing heavily，you are probably travelling during the ________.
A．summer B．rainy seasons
C．winter D．spring
4．We can infer from the passage that ________.
A．Indian people don't mind switching umbrellas with others
B．almost everyone in India wears perfume when they go out
C．the buses and trains are old and in poor conditions
D．Indian transport is the most crowded in the world
5．What is the tune of language used in this passage?
A．Humourous. B．Critical.
C．Frightening. D．Concerned.

请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格中填入最适当的单词。 每空格1个单词。
Everyone needs a break, and vacations are not meant for serious study. Instead, they’re a great way to take a break and enjoy a good book. The Spring Festival is coming up so this is the perfect time to discuss some great English language literature to take on a long train journey or while you’re hanging out with the family.
Before getting into the recommendations, we need to determine your English reading comprehension level so you don’t pick a book which is so challenging that it’s stressful or so simple that it’s boring.
If you’re at the beginner level, there are two options: reading a children’s book or reading a book that you’ve read in Chinese translation. This will help you get over any unfamiliar words or phrases, since you’re already familiar with the story. If you’re at the intermediate level, popular books like pop fiction, mysteries and thrillers are good options, as they’ll be guaranteed page turners and that will increase the possibility of your getting all the way through the book. For advanced readers, science fiction, classic works of literature or contemporary prize winners （Booker, Nobel, Pulitzer） are good options.
The most important thing is to pick a book that you’re really interested in. When I pick up a new book in Chinese, the first few chapters are always really hard to get through, as I have to get accustomed to the way the individual author uses the language. But after the first few chapters, things get a lot easier, especially if I get involved in the story. Some of my favorite Chinese-language eye candy are books that are series like Brothers by Yu Hua or The Dancer by Hai Yan. I like them because there’s always a lot of action and story development to keep me involved, which helps me make it through those first few chapters.
Another great way to keep yourself motivated over the holiday is to find a friend who’s interested in reading the same book. You can make goals that you both want to achieve and discuss plot lines or vocabulary issues with each other by SMS or e-mail. I’m currently doing that with my friend Laura. We’ve been doing this since we were classmates in Chinese at college.
Some quick recommendations: Harry Potter, start with the first book and go on from there; the Narnia series; anything by US writer Michael Crichton or British writer Agatha Christie; and if you like horror, US writer Stephen King is always unusual and fun. But really you should just find a topic or author that you’re interested in, and the rest will go from there. Happy reading!

V、七选五
（2016高考—任务型阅读—训练）下面文章中有5个段落需要添加小标题(第1～5题)。请从以下选项(A、B、C、D、E和F)中选出适合各段落的小标题。选项中有一项是多余选项。
A．How inner beliefs can help
B．How to develop positive habits
C．Improve your life
D．You can do it
E.Action plan
F．Why are habits so important?
The single most important factor that contributes to success is what you do every single day.It is as simple as that.Your habits will determine whether you are successful or not.If you have strong and healthy positive habits, it does not matter whether or not you fail today because you are guaranteed to succeed in the long run.
1．________
Because you repeat the same actions and the same behaviors every single day, a single positive action will not change your life，but the same action repeated 1，000 times will have a significant impact on your life.For example, if you go to the gym one time, you won't see a big difference in your life.However, if you go to the gym 1，000 times over a five year period, you will see a big difference in your body.The same principle applies to finance, health, relationships, work, career, and school.Simple positive actions repeated every single day will have a great impact on your life in the long run.
2．________
There's nothing easier than developing positive habits.You simply have to do every single day the action you want to make a habit.If you want to develop the habit of running, run almost every day.If you want to develop the habit of eating healthy, eat healthy every day.If you want to develop the habit of reading, read every day.Habits are created by repetition.The more you do an action, the easier it becomes in the long run.
3．________
If you want to be successful in changing your habits, you should think about changing your inner beliefs about your habits.For example, your old belief was：“I love cigarette because it makes me feel good and relaxed.I need cigarette to be happy and relaxed.” If you keep this belief, you won't be able to keep your resolution to stop smoking for very long.Instead, you should adopt this new belief：“I love yoga because it makes me feel good and relaxed.Cigarette is poisonous and destroys my body.Yoga makes me happy.” You should analyze your beliefs and make sure they won't stop you from changing your habits.The same is true when you try to form positive habits.If you want to start eating healthy food, here are some positive beliefs you should start thinking about：“Healthy food is very good for my health.It gives me a lot of energy and I feel very good.”
4．________
It's now time for you to develop positive habits in your life and avoid your negative habits.Write down 3 positive habits that you would like to develop and 3 negative habits that you would like to get rid of.For each positive habit, write down exactly what actions you're going to take every single day in order to develop the new habit.For each negative habit, write own exactly what actions you're not going to take in the next weeks.Here are some positive habits that will lead to success：exercise, healthy food, reading, saving, studying, healthy relationships, hard work, etc.Here are some negative habits to get rid of：gambling, drug and alcohol abuse, overeating, shyness, etc.
5．________
Everybody can change.All it takes is courage and commitment.Decide right now to improve your life by changing your habits.Take action right now! Don't be afraid.Yes, you will probably make mistakes along the way.But never forget that success is guaranteed for you if you have positive habits in your life.If you refuse to quit, success will be yours.
