阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

Tourism wasn’t as important as it is today. In the past, only people with a good deal of money could travel on holidays to other countries. More people travel today than in the past because there is a growing middle class in many parts of the world; that is to say, people now have more money for travel. Special plane fares（费用）for tourists make travel less expensive and more attractive than ever before. One person doesn’t travel for the same reason as another. But most people enjoy seeing countries that are different from their own. They also like to meet new people and to taste new food.

Tourism causes many changes in a country and in people’s lives. People build new hotels and restaurants and train native men and women as guides to show visitors interesting places. There’re new nightclubs and other amusements. International tourism is clearly a big business.

56. More people travel today than in the past because______________.

A. people have become interested in traveling B traveling today is easier the in the past C people now have spare money for travel world

57. What makes travel more attractive than before? A. Travel by air to other countries is much cheaper today. B. More guides are being trained to show beautiful spots. C. Modern telegraph lines make travel less expensive. D. New hotels and restaurants have been built.

58. Which of the following statements is true according to the article? A. Tourism won’t bring any changes in people’s minds. B. People have some trouble in making journey.

world.

D. Tourism causes only some changes in clothing. 59. What is the best title of the passage? A. The Change of Tourism

B

Foxes and farmers have never got on well. These small dog-like animals have long been scolded for killing farm animals. They are officially regarded as harmful and farmers try to keep their numbers down by shooting or poisoning them.

Farmers can also call on the services of their local hunt to control the fox population. Hunters hunt a fox across the countryside, with a group of specially trained dogs, followed by men and women riding horses. When the dogs finally catch the fox they kill it or a hunter shoots it.

People who take part in hunting think of it as a sport; they wear a special uniform of red coats and white trousers, and follow strict rules of behavior. But owning a horse and hunting regularly is expensive, so most hunters are wealthy.

It is estimated that up to 100,000 people watch or take part in fox hunting. But over the last couple of decades the number of people who object to fox hunting, because they think it is cruel, has risen sharply. Nowadays it is rare for a hunt to pass off without some kind of confrontation（冲突）between hunters and hunt saboteurs（阻拦者）. Sometimes these incidents lead to violence, but mostly saboteurs interfere with the hunt by misleading riders and disturbing the trail of the fox’s smell, which the dogs follow.

Noisy confrontations between hunters and saboteurs become so common that they are almost as much a part of hunting as the hunting of foxes itself. But this year supporters of fox hunting face a much bigger threat to their support. A labor Party Member of the Parliament , Mike Foster , is trying to get parliament to pass a new law which will make the hunting of wild animals with dogs illegal（非法的）. If the law is passed, wild animals like foxes will be protected under the ban in Britain.

60. Rich people in Britain have been hunting foxes ______________. A. for fun

B. to limit the fox population

13

B. Tourism

D. The Cause of Tourism Change

C. The Importance of Tourism

学而思教育·学习改变命运 思考成就未来！ 高考网www.gaokao.com

C. in the interests of the farmer D. to show off their wealth

61. What is special about fox hunting in Britain? A. It includes the use of deadly poison. C. The hunters have set rules to follow.

B. It is a costly event that rarely occurs. D. The hunters have to go through strict training.

62. People who object to fox hunting often interfere in the game ________________. A. by using violence C. by beating the fox hunters

B. by taking legal action

D. by standing in line to stop the hunting

63. It can be inferred from the passage that _______________. A. killing foxes with poison is illegal B. limiting the fox population is illegal

C. hunting foxes with dogs is considered cruel and violent

D. fox—hunting often leads to confrontation between the poor and the rich.

C

Moods（情绪）, say the experts, are feelings that are likely to become fixed, having effects on one’s outlook（世界观）for hours, days or even weeks. That’s great if your mood is a pleasant one, but a problem if you are sad, anxious, angry, or simply lonely.

Perhaps the best way to deal with such moods is to talk them out; sometimes, however, there is no one to listen. Modern pharmacology（药理学）offers a lot of tranquilizers（镇静剂）and anti-anxiety（抗焦虑）medicines. What many people don’t realize, however, is that scientists have discovered the effectiveness of several non-drug methods to make you free from an unwanted mood. These can be just as useful as medicines, and have the added benefit of being non-poisonous. So next time you feel out of sorts, don’t head for the drug store but try the following methods.

“Of all the mood changing self –help techniques, aerobic exercise（有氧运动）seems to be the best cure for a bad mood. If you could keep the exercise, you’d be in high spirits,” says Kathryn Lance, author of Running for Health and Beauty.

Researchers have explained biochemical and various other changes that make exercise more effective than drug as a mood- raiser. Physical work such as house-work, however, does little good. The key is aerobic exercise---running, cycling, walking, swimming, or other repetitive activities that increase the heart rate and circulation, and improve the body’s use of oxygen. Do

them for at least 20 minutes a time, three to five times a week.

64. It can be inferred from the passage that ___________. A. when one is in a bad mood, he or she may not work very well. B. the best way to overcome a bad mood is to talk to oneself. C. some drugs are more effective than physical exercise. D. taking drugs is at the risk of being harmed.

65. “Feel out of sorts”（in Paragraph 2 ）could be best replaced by _________. A. put things in order C. are in bad mood

B. search for tranquilizers

D. are in high spirits

66. Which of the following best describes the organization（组织）of this passage? A. A way of exercise and its importance are explained. B. A problem is put forward and solutions are presented. C. Two different views on a problem are given. D .Recent developments in medicine are described.

67.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage ? A .Moods can have an effect on people’s appearances. B .Aerobic exercise can help people make better use of oxygen. C .Many tranquilizers have been provided.

D .Swimming, walking, or running is an effective cure for a bad mood.

D

Will It Matter if I Skip Breakfast?

If you have to miss one meal a day（or if you want to do so）, which meal will cause you fewest health problems if you don’t eat it? If they have to make a decision of this type, most people（especially dieters or very busy people）will choose to skip breakfast.

However, many experts in the field of health consider breakfast（the meal which “breaks” your “fast” which started the night before）to be most important meal of the day. If we eat a good breakfast, they say, we will have the energy and nutrients we need to begin our working day with vigor and hopefully with good humor. Nevertheless, many people skip breakfast or substitute a donut and a cup of coffee for a well-balanced meal. What happens if we ignore the importance of breakfast?

One recent study carried out in the United Sates tested a large number of people. Participants（people who take part in something）included both males and females who ranged in age from 12 to 83. During the experiment , these people were given a variety of breakfast , and sometimes, they had to skip breakfast completely .Special tests , including blood tests and endurance（忍耐力）tests, were set up to analyze how well the participants’ bodies functioned when they had eaten a certain kind of breakfast.

The results showed that if he or she eats a proper breakfast, he or she will work more efficiently and more productively than if he or she skips breakfast or eats a very poor breakfast. This fact appears to be especially true if a person’s work involves mental activity. The study showed that if school children eat fruit, eggs, bread, and milk before going to school, they will learn more quickly and will be able to concentrate on their lessons for a longer period of time than if their breakfast diet is improper.

The study also showed that, contrary to what many people believe, if you skip breakfast, you will not lose weight. This is because people become so hungry if they skip breakfast that they eat too much for lunch and end up gaining weight instead of losing. So remember, if you are on a diet, skipping breakfast will not help you. You will probably lose more weight if you reduce your other meals.

68. In the word “breakfast” fast probably means _____. A．“moving quickly”

B．“going without food”

C．“unlikely to go fast” D．“fast food”

69. Many experts in the field of health think __________________. A. that one must miss one meal a day B. that most people should skip breakfast

C. that to skip one meal a day is no good for one’s health D. that breakfast is most important in a working day

70. According to the passage those participants in the experiment _____________________. A．were all adults

B．were males of different ages E

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. The leading story in tonight’s news concerns the fire

13

C．were both teenagers and grown-ups D．were mostly young people under 20
