Ⅲ.阅读理解(25分)
There are many reasons why I encourage people to travel, and I know that the experience will make one a better person.
I remember when I was travelling that I began to know the world better. The world is not just about me, my small town and home. Although you will meet different people from all over the world, you will realise that people are similar in their dreams, hopes and feelings. Enjoy exploring the different cultures, and you will also find that people are different in some of the things they do and how they live. Once you understand their ways, it need not be strange or scary. Often we read stories about other cultures in books. Only when we visit their areas, do we find that those stories are something wrong.
One thing you may find out is that there are problems all over the world. We can't just get money to send to these areas and hope that will work them out. The world should get involved(干预) and help wherever there are problems. People everywhere should be given a chance. It is so easy to ignore(忽视) this if one does not travel and explore. One can look around and see that so many people have many challenges worse than ours. One can realise that sometimes our biggest problems are not that big after all.
On your journey you will meet lots of new friends. Talking to strangers and finding about their lives is a great way to spend your time. You will certainly be more confident after having to cope__with problems and make many decisions along the way.
When you travel, you have to be on your own in some situations. You will surprise yourself by how well you can do that. All your special experiences could make an interesting book to read. It would be filled with all your adventures and special memories.
Travelling around and seeing so much happening in the world around us is a wonderful experience. If we could all just travel a little more and share our experiences, we would all be better people and the world would be a better place.
21.From Paragraph 2, we can learn that________.
A.people around the world are the same in their hopes
B.books always tell us wrong stories about cultures
C.travelling can help us better understand the world
D.people in different places have strange living habits
22.According to Paragraph 3, we can help the areas in need by________.
A.sending them money
B.offering them chances
C.looking around
D.giving them challenges
23.The expression “cope with” in Paragraph 4 most probably means “________”.
A.solve B.avoid
C.meet D.cover
24.Which of the following would be the best title of the passage?
A.People in the World Are Family
B.Travelling Helps One Make More Friends
C.People in the World Share One Dream
D.Travelling Makes One a Better Person
25.What's the writer's purpose of writing the passage?
A.To share his travel experiences with other people.
B.To encourage more people to travel around.
C.To show how travelling can change the world.
D.To tell people how to travel around the world.

Ⅱ.【主旨大意】 本文是一篇记叙文。作者非常喜欢出国旅行,在一次旅行的旅馆遇到了两个出国旅行的异国女孩,一见如故,后来成了亲密的朋友。作者从自己的经历叙述了旅行的奇妙之处。
11.B 结合下文可知是作者自己去了多伦多,故选B。
12.D 该句是一个含有定语从句的复合句。句意: 对我来说,青年旅社是我可以和不同的人见面和交谈的地方。places为先行词,从句中需要作地点状语的关系词where。
13.A 由前半句“I met two girls”可知我遇见了两个女孩,两个中的另一个用the other。
14.C 根据句意“来自巴西的女孩是一名律师,帮助别人解决家庭问题”可知应选C。
15.B be interested in是固定短语,意为“对……感兴趣”,故选B。
16.D 由上句来自斯洛伐克的女孩对摄影感兴趣可知,我也是一个摄影迷。neither意为“两者都不”;also,either和as well都表示“也”,但是either用于否定句句尾,also用在句中,as well用在肯定句末尾。该句为肯定句,故选D。
17.C to one's surprise为固定短语,意为“令某人感到惊讶的是”,故选C。
18.D 句中的“in the world”属于表示比较的范围,应用最高级,故选D。
19.A 根据下一句“有人在世界的另一边关心你”可知该句意为“知道有人记得远方的你是一件多么美好的事情啊!”there is somebody/something doing sth.表示“有人/物正在做某事”,故选A。
20.C 根据第二段我是在旅行的过程中偶然认识了两个异国的女孩可知,时间很短。a couple of表示“几个”,故选C。

21.C 推理判断题。由第二段第一句“I remember when I was travelling that I began to know the world better.”可知,作者外出旅行时,开始更好地了解世界,与选项C说法相符。
22.B 细节理解题。由第三段中的“People everywhere should be given a chance.”可知,世界上每个地方的人们都应该被给予一个(发展的)机会。
23.A 词义猜测题。由画线短语后的problems以及前面的“You will certainly be more confident…”可推断此处指“处理”问题。
24.D 主旨大意题。通读全文可知,本文主要讲周游世界、到世界各地旅游的好处。文章开头“I know that the experience will make one a better person.”和结尾“we would all be better people and the world would be a better place.”都提到了旅行可以让人变得更优秀。
25.B 推理判断题。由第一段“There are many reasons why I encourage people to travel…”可知作者的写作意图是鼓励大家旅游。
Ⅳ.One possible version:
It's a good idea to go travelling during the summer vacation. I think the best place to visit is the Palace Museum. As we all know, the Palace Museum, also known as the Forbidden City, is wonderful and famous for its long history in the world. We can see a lot of ancient buildings, including palaces, temples and towers. If we go to visit the Palace Museum, we should pay attention to our safety. We had better go with our friends or family.
