I. Complete the letter.
Dear Connie
(1)课文回顾On holiday
I’m in Shanghai at last. My parents and I flew here last night from Beijing.
We’ve had such an exhausting day! After we 1 (用 eat 的适当形式填空) a huge breakfast at the hotel, we set out on foot down Nanjing Road, the m 2 road in Shanghai. The weather was warmer than Beijing. It was sunny and the sky was c 3 and blue.
We s 4 came to People’s Square, a marvelous recreation area. We walked around the beautiful fountain. There was a nice atmosphere. Some elderly people were doing ballroom dancing, and children were flying kites. 5 were roller skating, and some men were p 6 sword fighting. After we 7 (用 watch 的适当形式填空) for a while, we went into Shanghai Museum. We spent a couple of h 8 there, looking at the displays.
N 9 we walked on down to the Bund, the old part of the city with lots of European style buildings. A Chinese nickname for the Bund is ‘the exhibition of world architecture’. It is a big commercial c 10 with lots of banks and businesses.
We walked along the waterfront and looked up at the Oriental Pearl TV Tower across the Huangpu River. I read that the designer’s i 11 came from a line in an old Chinese poem, ‘It was like large and small pearls dropping on a plate of jade.’ The big financial and trade area of Pudong is behind the tower. Dad visited that area fifteen years ago. He was a 12 at how much it had changed.
Then we turned away from the river, walked down some narrow streets, and reached the Chenghuang Miao area. There are lots of craft shops, with 13 doing things like paper cutting. There is also a lake with a pavilion in the middle. We can go over a zigzag bridge to get to the pavilion and enjoy the nice view around. After that, we ate a tasty meal in an old restaurant nearby. F 14 , we walked into Yu Garden. It was so beautiful! I loved the long dragons all along the tops of the walls.
By this time we were so tired that we took a taxi back to our hotel to r 15 our feet! I’ve drawn you a map so you can see where we went today, and I will enclose a few photos. Shanghai is great! I

wish we could stay longer. Lots of love to everyone Wendy

过去完成时:表示在过去某有时间或动作之前已经发生或完成了的动作,即“过去的过去”。
1. 构成:had+过去分词。其中 had 通用于各种人称。
2. 用法:
1)过去的过去
When I woke up, it had stopped raining. 2)多与 by, before, until 等连用
Before she came to China, Grace had taught English for five years.
3. 语法判定:
由时间状语来判定
1)by+过去的时间点
I had finished reading the novel by nine o’clock last night. 2)by the end of +过去的时间点
We had learned over two hundred words by the end of last year. 3)before+过去的时间点

由“过去的过去”来判定

2) 时间先后:先发生的用过去完成时,后发生的则用一般过去时。

Slow Travel
When we travel in a hurry, we miss the small details that make each place unique. We lose the wonder and joy of the journey. We spend more time taking photos than actually experiencing a place. And at the end of all that rushing around, we return home more tired than when we left. That is why the age of Slow Travel begins.
Slow Travel believes, you should stay in one location for a longer period of time (at least a week), and dive more deeply into the local culture. You can enjoy a drink at the local watering hole, make friends with the locals, take time to take in the local rhythms.
You become a temporary resident instead of a tourist. Slow Travel believes you should know there will be more trips. Even getting there should be leisurely--instead of being crammed into a plane and subjected to ridiculous security (安检), why not take a train, car or a boat?
When traveling, I always love walking away from the tourist path and taking in things as a local. When I visited a friend in Germany recently, one of my favorite things to do was wander(漫步) around the local grocery stores and cafes to see what Germans like to eat. (Lots of breads, and boys are into their sweets!)
How can you make your next trip a slow trip?
★Stay in a local rental.
★Stay in a place that is non-touristy. Better yet, go to your destination in the off-season (淡季) .
★Stay out of cars. If you’re lucky enough to live in a place that supports walking (or biking), forsake (放弃) a rental car, and hoof (步行) it around your neighborhood.
★Get out among the locals. Make it a point to relax at a local cafe or bar, even if you’re traveling
solo.
★Ask the locals. Instead of consulting guide books on what to do and where to eat, ask the locals.

【难度】★★★
【解析】
1. D。原文第二段第一句提到慢游者应当在一个地方停留至少一周,并且深入当地文化。
2. D。根据第二段最后提到的几种方法——enjoy a drink at the local watering hole, make friends with the locals, take time to take in the local rhythms,不难判断所有选项都是深入当地文化的方法。
3. A。这里需要根据上下文推测词义。前面提到 Slow Travel 要深入当地文化,而原句又提到要像一个 resident 而不要像一个旅游者,因此要找一个和旅游者词义相对的选项,故“当地人”成为最合理的选择。
4. B。原文第三段最后一句提到,“到达旅游点也应该是悠闲的。乘飞机要忍受拥挤的机舱还要接受可笑的安检,为什么不乘车、船或者火车?”显然“慢游族”不喜欢乘飞机。
5. D。根据第一段A 正确,根据第 4 段B 正确,根据第 5 段文章作者给出了五条建议C 正确,根据最后一条建议D 与文章不符。
6. B。主旨题,文章围绕的主题是“slow travel”,此题也可用排除法。

1. When we travel in a hurry, we miss the small details that make each place unique. We lose the wonder and joy of the journey. We spend more time taking photos than actually experiencing a place. And at the end of all that rushing around, we return home more tired than when we left.

Have you ever heard of gypsies(吉普赛人)? Do you know anything about their lives. Read the following and you will 1 out about the interesting world of gypsies.
The life of a gypsy is very different from yours or mine. Gypsy families usually live in tents or mobile homes, sometimes on the side of the roads, in forests, or in special fields designed for gypsies to come and stay. It is 2 for a gypsy family to travel all over the country, and even the world.
Surveys show about one million gypsies live and travel around in the USA alone. Many speak English but some groups have their own language. Experts say it 3 the language people speak in India.
The culture of the gypsy is very much focused on 4 . Most times the children in a gypsy family do not even go to school. This is probably because of all the travelling. Going to school is not a big part of the gypsy culture anyway. A lot of gypsies are not even able to read or write because of it.
A gypsy family may have as many as ten children. The children in a gypsy family will often learn different skills. They learn 5 to hunt for food, identify different plants in the wild, and cook, from a young age.
6 , gypsies learn to play instruments and dance at a young age. A lot of time is spent with music. I do not know if I would like to be a gypsy. I enjoy going to school very much, and I feel like I would have fewer friends if my family moved around so much.

Space exploration, however exciting and important to human history it may be, costs large amounts of money. But it could be cheaper i 1 there were reusable rockets.
On Dec 21, Space X, a private company in the US, launched(发射) its Falcon 9 rocket. Minutes later,
the rocket’s first stage turned around and landed s 2 back on Earth, and it became the first rocket ever to do so.

“It’s a revolutionary(革命性的) moment,” the company’s owner Elon Musk said. “The cost of access(进入) to space will be r 3 by as much as a factor of a hundred(100 倍).”
The part of Falcon 9 that returned is the main booster( 推 进 器 ) of the rocket and also the most expensive part. Being a 4 to reuse that part of the rocket could lead to an era( 时 代 ) of cheaper space exploration.
The s 5 of the landing test will help the US space agency NASA with important work in the future, according to Musk, and is “a key step towards building a city on Mars”.
NASA has set a 2035 target date for sending humans to Mars, but Musk and other private space companies p 6 that people could be on Mars within 9 to 11 years.
And according to yahoo.com, the reusable rocket is also good news for people who dream to travel in space because the cost could be much lower than before.

The Winter Olympics in Vancouver(温哥华) ended last month. It was a big success. Many people worked very hard to make it a big success: the sportsmen and the sportswomen, the Olympic organizers and, of course, t 1 of people who came to Vancouver to work as volunteers.
There were 18, 5000 volunteers at this Olympics. Most came from countries far away, including China. They helped the visitors by showing them directions and giving them i 2 . They also worked as ushers(引座员) at events to make sure ticket holders got to their proper seats. Some volunteers worked as drivers to make sure VIPs l 3 judges got to events on time.
Many of the volunteers took time off from their jobs to come to Vancouver. They chose to work ten hours a day at the Olympics, for f 4 . They didn’t receive any money or get any special gifts for their work. They did, h 5 , get a great feeling: the feeling of helping out and of being a part of something big.
One man said he volunteered because it was “a chance to be part of one of the biggest events in the world. I didn’t want to miss out.”
It’s a great feeling to know that you have p 6 a part, even a small part, in making a big event a success. At the Shanghai World Expo, you have a chance to know that feeling. Even if you can’t be an official volunteer, you can s 7 be friendly and helpful to foreign visitors. It will be a chance for you to be a part of something big and make Expo a big success.

D. Answer the questions(根据以下内容回答问题) 原创题
What is your impression of Denmark? Many of you may know it as a country of fairy tales because it is the home place of Heinz Christian Andersen. But now Denmark has a new title: the happiest country in the world, according to the 2016 World Happiness Report.
The report chose countries considering the following six factors(因素): GDP per capita(人均生产总值), healthy life expectancy(寿命), low government corruption(腐败), a sense of social support, freedom to make life choices and a culture of generosity(慷慨).
Denmark is neither the richest or the biggest country. So why do the 5.7 million people of Denmark smile so much?
“We have no worries. And if we do worry, it’s about the weather. Will it rain today, remain grey or get cold?” Knud Christensen, a 39-year-old social worker from Copenhagen, explained to the Independent.
Denmark has a series of politics(政策) that benefit its people. For example,
parents if they want to be with their children, especially newborn babies. Danish families receive a total of 52 weeks of parental leave(育婴假). While American women only have an average of 10.3 weeks.
Besides, women in Denmark don’t need to worry about whether they are treated unfairly by their male colleagues(同事). In Denmark, gender equality(性别平等) is the priority(优先). In 1915, the country gave women the right to vote. You also see women in the political world. The country now has its first female prime minister, Helle Thorning-Schimidt.
The Nordic country is also famous for its biking culture. In Denmark’s capital, Copenhagen, bikes are used for about 50 percent of its people’s trips to school or work. Biking is not only good for reducing environment pollution, but it’s also good for people’s health. Just 30 minutes of biking a day adds an average of one to two years to a person’s life expectancy. The Huffington Post reported.
1. Why is Denmark known as a country of fairy tales?

2. Is Denmark the richest or the biggest country?

3. How many days of parental leave do Danish families have?

4. When did women in Denmark have the right to vote?

5. What is the Nordic country famous for?

6. What do you think may increase a person’s life expectancy?

【答案】

1. Because it is the home place of Heinz Christian Andersen.
2. Denmark is neither the richest or the biggest country.
3. 364 days.
4. In 1915.

I stayed with a New Zealand family in Auckland for one year. At first, I found that communicating was quite d 3 . But my hosts were very patient, and they helped me learn fast.
As exchange students, we were required to tell people about our o 4 culture. I took many photos and postcards from China with me, as well as some simple Chinese books. I gave a t 5 about China to my classmates, and I even did some simple Chinese cooking.

Scholarship to Japan
Sylvia Wang I visited Japan for six weeks after I won a Japan Airlines scholarship. For five weeks, I lived with other foreign students in a hotel and a 6 Japanese language classes. We also had classes on Japanese culture and customs. We learn how to 7 /??re?nd?/ flowers and make tea. We went on sightseeing t 8 and visited a television station. For the last week, I stayed with a
friendly family in Kyoto.
I made friends with students from the USA, New Zealand and Australia, as well as many from Japan. I returned to China three months ago and since then I have kept in touch with my new friends by writing e-mails and chatting on my computer at home.
