No Destination Is the Wrong Place to Go
Everyone has a list of destinations they promise themselves to visit during their lifetime. People travel for endless reasons,whether it’s to experience different cultures,see natural (41)
of the world,or learn about heritage.All these ideas are exciting options,because in every situation,you will be (42) to something unfamiliar and life-changing.
I recently had a discussion with someone about my student abroad experience.They listened as I recounted my (43) around Italy and my additional travels. “I would love to do something like that,” they said, “but I feel like everyone goes to Europe now.It’s not really that (44) anymore.”
I was pretty shocked by such a statement.Since when was traveling anywhere not cool enough?Naturally,the older you get ,the more people you’re going to know,especially those who have traveled to (45) parts of the world.However,does standing underneath the Eiffel Tower have less value to me because so many travelers have done the exact same thing?Or climbing and taking a picture at the top of the Florence Duomo also means the decreased value?
My answer:absolutely not.Reading travel blogs and (46) at photographs is helpful and enjoyable,but nothing close to (47) experiencing that place.The truth is,every new destination is unique,and it’s nearly impossible to make a “wrong” decision.
It is important to focus on your own personal journey,not the experience of others.Every city, state,and country,has thousands of different things to (48) .The places you will visit all have fascinating people,different kinds of delicious food you’ve never tried before,and unbelievable history that will blow your mind.Travelling will nevertheless change you and leave an imprint on the way you see the world—no matter where you go.
Whether the destinations we desire are (49) simple or obscure(不清楚的)in the eyes of others,every experience has its own unique value.Keep your adventures (50) while also taking advantage of the opinions and advice of others.In every new destination,you will find a new part of yourself.Truly,no destination is the wrong place to go.
III.Reading Comprehension
Section A
Directions:For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A,B,C and D.Fill in each blank with the word pr phrase that best fits the context.
Who cares if people think wrongly that the Internet has had more important influences than the washing machine?Why does it matter that people are more impressed by the most 51 changes?It would not matter if these misjudgments were just a matter of people’s opinions. However,they have real impacts,as they result in 52 use of scarce resources.
The eager embrace of the ICT (Information and Communication Technology) revolution, represented by the Internet,has made some rich countries wrongly conclude that making things is so “yesterday” that they should try to live on 53 .This belief in “post-industrial society” has led those countries to 54 their manufacturing sector(制造业)with negative consequences for their economies.
Even more worryingly,the 55 with the Internet by people in rich countries has moved the international community to worry about the “digital 56 ” between the rich countries and the poor countries.This has led companies and individuals to donate money to developing countries to buy computer equipment and Internet facilities.The question, 57 ,is whether this is what the developing countries need the most.Perhaps giving money for those less 58 things such as digging wells,extending electricity networks and making more affordable washing machines would have improved people’s lives more than giving every child a laptop computer or setting up Internet centers in rural villages.I am not saying that those things are necessarily more important,but these generous donators don’t seem to give priority to people’s 59 needs. Rather,they have rushed into fancy programs without carefully assessing the relative long-term costs and benefits of 60 uses of their money.
In yet another example,an obsession with the new has led people to believe that the latest changes in the technologies of communications and transportation are so revolutionary that now we live in a “borderless world”. 61 ,in the last twenty years or so,many people have come to believe that whatever change is happening today is the result of great technological progress,going against which will be like trying to turn the clock back.Believing in such a world,many governments have 62 some of the very necessary regulations on cross-border flows of capital,labor and goods,with poor results.
Understanding technological trends is very important for 63 designing economic policies,both at the national and the international levels,and for making the right career choices at the 64 level.However,our blind faith in the latest,and our 65 of what has already become common,can,and has,led us in all sorts of wrong directions.

Section B
Directions:Read the following three passages.Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C and D.Choose the one that best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
(A)
The Story Behind the Words
1.husband Comes from two Old Norse words (the language spoken by the Vikings) that mean “house” and “owner”.The word originally had nothing to do with marriage,except for the fact that home ownership made these men extremely desirable marriage partners.
2.cab From “cabrioler”,a French word that means “jump like a goat.” The first carriages for public rental bounced up and down so much that they reminded people of goats jumping on a hillside.
3.alarm From the Italian “To arms!”—which was what soldiers shouted when they saw that the enemy was attacking.
4.jeans Genoa,called “Gene” by sixteenth-century Europeans,was the first city to make denim cloth.The pants were named after the city.
5.escape In Latin,this means “without your cape”. The ancient Romans would often avoid capture by throwing off their capes when fleeing so that they could run more quickly.
6.hooligan It is believed that this term originated from a man’s last name.The man,whose first name was Patrick,terrorized a section of London with his family in the 1890s.
7.broke Many banks in post-Renaissance Europe issued small “borrower’s tiles(瓦片)” to their customers.Like credit cards,these tiles were imprinted with the owner’s name and credit limit,and the name of the bank.In order to borrow money,the customer had to present the tile to the bank teller who would compare the imprinted credit limit with how much the customer had already borrowed.If the borrower was over the limit,the teller broke the tile on the spot.
8.genuine From the Latin,originally meant “placed on the knees”.In Ancient Rome,a father legally claimed his newborn child by sitting in front of his family and placing the child on his knee.
9.tip The popular explanation of the origin of this word is that it is an acronym(首字母缩略词)meaning “To Insure Promptness”,that is,to make sure the service in,e.g.,a restaurant,is fast.This is incorrect.The word was underworld slang from the early 1600s,meaning “to pass on a small sum of money.”
10.addict This was the Latin name for a slave given to Roman soldiers to reward them for performance in battle.Eventually,this term was applied to anyone who was a slave to anything, e.g.,a drug.
66.Which pair of words originated from the names of two people?
A.Addict and escape.
B.Jeans and escape.
C.hooligans and jeans.
D.Hooligan and addict.

When you’re traveling abroad,trying to find out who to tip is never straightforward and neither is trying to work out the exact number.To make things even more complicated,the rules for tipping vary greatly from country to country.Also,within each country the rules can change,so what was appropriate last time you visited your favorite country may be completely inappropriate the next time you go.However,here are some general guidelines which might help you on your journeys.
You face your first dilemma as soon as you land at the airport—the taxi ride.Taxi drivers generally do expect tips,but rather than there being an exact amount,people round up the fare or just tell the driver to keep the change.
Your next encounter is with the hotel porter and you know he’s expecting a tip,but the problem is trying to figure out how much.It seems that in many countries round the world $1 per bag would be an appropriate amount.
Then,of course,you have to eat.In some countries such as Ire land,Brazil,Poland and Portugal,the customary tip in restaurants is 10-15% unless a service change is included,so the first rule of thumb is always check the bill.In other countries such as France,Italy,Germany,Australia and Spain,where a 10-15% service charge is either very common or compulsory,you may want to leave an additional tip if you think the service was particularly good,but it certainly isn’t obligatory.However,in some countries it may seem strange if you do leave a tip.In Japan,for example,the waitress might be insulted if you tipped her.In Thailand,if you left the tip,the restaurant staff probably wouldn’t be offended,but you might be pursued down the street by someone thinking you’d forgotten to take your change.In New Zealand,although it’s unlikely anyone would chase after you,you’d definitely get some odd looks if you left a tip.
And your problem with tipping isn’t over when you leave the restaurant.Next you discover the tour guide,the hairdresser and the toilet attendant are all expecting a tip as well,but again,how much?Perhaps the best option in these cases is to ask the local people what is acceptable or observe what others do.Of course,you could simply play safe and tip everyone you meet.
72.The word “dilemma” (in paragraph 2) is closest in meaning to .
A.a difficult situation
B.an early opportunity
C.a high expectation
D.an exact explanation
73.What does the writer suggest tourists do in countries like Brazil?
A.Never tip waiters or waitress because they may be offended.
B.Play safe and leave a tip about 12% percent of the bill after each meal.
C.Make sure whether a service charge is included in the bill before giving tips.
D.Always check whether you have kept all your change before leaving the restaurant.
74.People needn’t tip waiters in .
A.Ireland and France
B.Germany and Japan
C.Poland and Italy
D.Thailand and New Zealand
75.What is the passage mainly about?
A.Advantages of tipping.
B.Rules of tipping.
C.Possible origins of tipping.
D.Different opinions on tipping.
