At present, more and more people are crazy about travelling. Why do people travel? “To see more of the world,” many people would say. But travelling abroad now means much more than that for the growing number of Chinese tourists. Of course it offers us good opportunities to meet people from other countries, learn about their culture and customs.
According to the United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO), more than 1 billion people travelled to another country in 2012. In 2012, Chinese people travelled abroad 30 percent more than in 2011. The prosperity (繁荣) of the tourism industry can also bring both our country and foreign countries great economic benefits (经济利益). Chinese people usually join large tourist groups and visit several countries in one trip.
Chinese people don’t just travel for sightseeing. The China International Travel Service Company said that all their tour trips were sold out a month before Christmas Day. Stores offered discounts (打折) during that time, so shopping in Europe and the United States is popular among Chinese travellers.
In December, China is going through a very cold winter. So many people like to go to some countries in Southeast Asia because the weather there is quite pleasant.
The improvement of living standards means more Chinese can travel abroad. But many of them don’t have a sense of public manners. A report by Living Social website in March 2012 even listed Chinese as the world’s second worst tourists.
If you want to change that bad name, remember to avoid the following: littering, spitting, snatching bus seats, line-jumping, taking off shoes in public, talking loudly and smoking in non-smoking areas. Besides, we should learn some necessary manners of foreign countries.
( ) 79. According to the United Nations World Tourism Organization, ________.
A. 30% of the people who travelled abroad are Chinese
B. the number of people who travelled abroad rose by 30%
C. more than 1 billion people travelled abroad in 2012
D. more than 1 billion Chinese people travelled abroad in 2012
( ) 80. Which of the following is NOT true about Chinese people? _________
A. Chinese people like joining large tourist groups.
B. Many Chinese like to go to Southeast Asia in winter for shopping.
C. More and more Chinese people can travel abroad now.
D. A report by a website said Chinese were the second worst tourists in the world.
( ) 81. What’s the best title of the passage? __________
A. Travelling B. Travelling abroad
C. Chinese tourists D. Chinese people like travelling
C
Hip hop, or rap(说唱) music as it’s also called, started on the streets and in the clubs of New York City in the 1970s. But today many countries have their own hip hop music. This kind of music comes from reggae(瑞格舞), disco and funk music. Rapping means speaking to the rhythm of the music, and it is an important part of this music. People rap to express how they feel about their lives and problems.
Rapping in class!
Would you like to rap in class? Well actually, hip hop music is played in more than 10,000 schools in the USA. Why? There is a new school program called “Flocabulary” in which teachers use texts and hip hop CDs to help teach different school subjects. The words of the songs are just what students are studying. This makes learning easy and fun. Students and teachers are excited about the positive results it has had on exam marks. One teacher said, “I’ve used hip hop songs in class, and I have never seen my students so crazy about history! You can’t imagine how well they remember what I teach! We even try to write our own songs.”
Whose idea was Flocabulary?
Blake Harrison, a high school student, was the first person to come up with the idea of Flocabulary. The word “Flocabulary” comes from the words “flow” and “vocabulary”. “Flow” is a rap word for “style”, or the way a rapper says the words of a song. “Vocabulary” means the words you have to learn in a language. How did he get the idea? Well, he realized he could remember the words of a hip hop song very easily. So, why not make lessons into songs? Today together with Alex Rappaport, a song writer, Blake produces hip hop songs for math, science, and literature(文学). They are now used in schools with great success.
( ) 82. Rap music started ________ in New York City.
A. in the 1970s B. in a high school C. in the 19th century D. in a music class
( ) 83. From the passage we can learn “Flocabulary” is a program to ________.
A. write rap music B. sing a song by talking
C. remember the words of a song D. help teach some school subjects
( ) 84. The underlined word “positive” in paragraph 2 most probably means ________.
A. bad B. good C. final D. direct
( ) 85. Blake Harrison has produced hip hop songs for school subjects EXCEPT ________.
A. math B. science C. history D. literature
B）请先阅读下列短文，掌握其大意，然后从下面方框的七个选项中，选择五个还原到文章中，使短文意思通顺、结构完整，并将答案的序号填写到答题卷的相应位置。（每小题2分）
When I was small, I was kind of shy. Fortunately, I changed a lot by junior high. Shyness gets in the way of success, but it doesn't have to hold you back. 86
87 The excitement of being lost in something that you love can help you forget your nervousness while showing off(出风头) in public.
Next, why not get more chances to speak in public? For me, when I got to high school, I took speech classes. 88
Then, don’t think about what will happen. It’s possible that you might be laughed at when speaking. 89 What really happens is better than what we imagine.
Finally, remember past successes. When you are making a speech, remembering past successes can help inspire(鼓舞)you to get future success. 90 If you succeeded in the past, then you can succeed again!
It's actually natural to be a little bit nervous about meeting new people, making cold calls, or giving a speech. That nervousness doesn't have to keep you from succeeding, though.
|
A. First of all, you’d better concentrate on what you enjoy. B. These successes are "proofs"(证明) that you can do it. C. I still feel a little uncomfortable when I realize. D. However, others may not even notice your mistakes. E. I could even take part in speaking competitions. F. Don’t be afraid of failure! G. Here are some tips that may help you overcome it. |
