Passage OneLong time ago, the ancient people could not travel to any far away places for they had no vehicle to carry them across the wide oceans, deep valleys, long rivers or high mountains.Nowadays people take advantage of steamships, trains, airplanes and modern bridges. Airplanes can carry us to the far countries in a short time; steamships can travel across the wide oceans. It is convenient to the modern people.Travelling is a good idea to us because we can get more knowledge, such as the customs, the geography of other countries. And people could travel among the different countries in the world. For it is easy to travel from the land by trains, or from the sea by ships.We learnt that the Italian who made the world large was Mr. Columbus. He was a brave man. Up to the middle of the 15th century, the people were afraid of traveling because they believed it was a dangerous thing.There is a saying in China, which is "Travelling for thousands is better than reading for ten years." It is to say that we can learn more in different places than we can learn from books.36. The people in ancient times couldn't travel too far away places because______.A. they found it no use doing soB. they liked staying at homeC. there was no modern transportationD. they were forbidden to go to other countries

In some countries of Asia or the Middle East, like Iran, students take an exit exam in their last year of high school. The people with the highest scores attend the best universities in the country.()

Social WorkersSocial workers help people overcome problems and make their lives better. If people are homeless, sick, or having family problems, social workers will work with them.

They find out what kinds of help people need. Then, they set up programs to meet the needs of the individual. They may focus on child abuse, poverty, violence, and other problems. For someone with family difficulties, social workers may find a parenting class or a support group. For a homeless person, they may find a place for them to live and a career training program. For a student, they may find a mentor or a learning disability expert.Many social workers give counseling. They talk to people about their lives and help them understand and solve their problems and to make plans.Most social workers spend the day in an office. Some travel to the people they help. Sometimes, they meet with people in the evening or on weekends. Social workers can be very busy when they are helping many people at once.1.According to the text, what is not social workers' job?A.To help people with family problems.B.To make people's lives better.C.To do the housework for people.2.For someone with family problems, social workers willA.find them a place to liveB.find them a career training programC.find them a parenting class3.Social workers build _________to provide the help for people in need.A.problemsB.daysC.resources4.Which of the following sentence is NOT true?A.Social workers give some advice to people.B.Most social workers think of their job as boring.C.Social workers may help many people at a time.5.The main point of this passage is about___________ .A.how busy social workers areB.how social workers do their jobC.how tired social workers are

BIt seems that travelling is very important in modern(现代的)life. The fastest way of trav- elling is by plane. You can travel by plane in one day to a place that it took a month or more toget to a hundred years ago.Travelling by train is slower than by plane. But it has its advantages(优势). You can enjoy the scenery of the places you're travelling through. Modern trains have comfortable seats and.dining cars.Some people like to travel by sea sometimes. There are large liners or river boats. You can visit many other countries and different parts of your country on them. Ships are not so fast as trains or planes ,but travelling by sea is a very pleasant way to spend a holiday.Many people like to travel by car. You can make your own timetable(时间表). You can travel three or four hundred miles or only fifty or one hundred miles a day ,just as you like.You can stop wherever you wish-at a place where there is something interesting to see ,at a good restaurant where you can enjoy a good meal ,or at a hotel to spend the night. That is why trav-elling by car is popular for pleasant trips ,while people usually take trains or planes when they are travelling on business.( )26.

请阅读短文。Do who choose to go on exotic, far-flung holidays deserve free health advice before they travel? And even if they pay, who ensures that they get good, up-to-date information? Who, for that matter, should collect that information in the first place? For a variety of reasons, travel medicine in Britain is a responsibility nobody wants. As a result, many travellers go abroad prepared to avoid serious disease.Why is travel medicine so unloved? Partly there's an identity problem. Because it takes an interest in anything that impinges on the health of travellers, this emerging medical specialism invariably cuts across the traditional disciplines. It delves into everything from seasickness, jet lag and the hazards of camels to malaria and plague. But travel medicine has a more serious obstacle to overcome. Travel clinics are meant to tell people how to avoid ending up dead or in a hospital when they come home, but it is notoriously difficult to get anybody pay out money for keeping people healthy.Travel medicine has also been colonized by commercial interests; the vast majority of travel clinics in Britain are run by airlines or travel companies. And while travel concerns are happy to sell profitable injections, they may be less keen to spread bad news about travellers' diarrhea in Turkey, or to take time to spell out preventive measures travellers could take."The NHS finds it difficult to define travellers' health, says Ron Behrens, the only NHS consultant in travel and director of the travel clinic of the Hospital for Tropical Diseases in London." Should it come within the NHS or should it be paid for? It's Gary area, and opinion is spilt. No one seems to have any responsibility for defining its role, he says.To compound its low status in the medical hierarchy, travel medicine has to rely on statistics that are patchy at best. In most cases we just don't know how many Britons contract diseases when abroad. And even if a disease linked to travel there is rarely any information about where those afflicted went, what they are, how they behaved, or which vaccinations they had. This shortage of hard facts and figures makes it difficult to give detailed advice to people, information that might even save their lives.A recent leader in British Medical Journal argued. "Travel medicine will emerge as credible disciplines only if the risks encountered by travellers and the relative benefits of public health interventions are well defined in terms of their relative occurrence, distribution and control. Exactly how much money is wasted by poor travel advice. The real figure is anybody's guess, but it could easily- run into millions. Behrens gives one example. Britain spends more than 1 million each year just on cholera vaccines that often don't work and so give people a false sense of security."Information on the prevention and treatment of all forms of diarrhea would be a better priority, he salts.Which of the following statement is not the problem of travel medicine?查看材料A.Traditional disciplines are not enough for travel medicine.B.Travel medicine has been colonized by commercial interests.C.The statistics about travellers are hard to obtain.D.People spend much money on poor travel advice.

共用题干Traffic Jams一No End in Sight1 Traffic congestion(拥堵)affects people throughout the world. Traffic jams cause smog in dozens of cities across both the developed and developing world. In the U. S.,commuters(通勤人员)spend an average of a full working week each year sitting in traffic jams,according to the Texas Transportation Institu-te.While alternative ways of getting around are available,most people still choose their cars because they are looking for convenience,comfort and privacy.2 The most promising technique for reducing city traffic is called congestion pricing,whereby cities charge a toll to enter certain parts of town at certain times of day.In theory,if the toll is high enough,some drivers will cancel their trips or go by bus or train.And in practice it seems to work:Singapore,London and Stockholm have reduced traffic and pollution in city centres thanks to congestion pricing.3 Another way to reduce rush-hour traffic is for employers to implement flexitime,which lets employees travel to and from work at off-peak traffic times to avoid the rush hour. Those who have to travel during busy times can do their part by sharing cars.Employers can also allow more staff to telecommute(work from home)so as to keep more cars off the road altogether.4 Some urban planners still believe that the best way to ease traffic congestion is to build more roads, especially roads that can take drivers around or over crowded city streets.But such techniques do not really keep cars off the road;they only accommodate more of them.5 Other,more forward-thinking,planners know that more and more drivers and cars are taking to the roads every day,and they are unwilling to encourage more private automobiles when public transport is so much better both for people and the environment.For this reason,the American government has decided to spend some$7 billion on helping to increase capacity on public-transport systems and upgrade them with more efficient technologies.But environmentalists complain that such funding is tiny compared with the$50 billion being spent on roads and bridges.If charged high enough,some drivers may_________to enter certain parts of town.A:go by busB:encourage more private carsC:drive aroundD:spend more moneyE:reduce traffic jamsF:travel regularly

问答题In some countries young people are encouraged to work or travel for a year between finishing high school and starting university studies. Read the article carefully and write your response in about 300 words, m which you should:  1. summarize briefly the opinions in the article:  2. give your comment.  Marks will be awarded for content relevance, content sufficiency, organization and language quality. Failure to follow the above instructions may result in a loss of marks.  A gap year is a year off that you can take between finishing high school and starting university. Otherwise known as deferring your studies, it can be a good alternative to starting university if you’re feeling exhausted or you’re just not sure what you want to do. Perhaps you want to travel, earn some money by working full-time or get some work experience in your field of interest. There’s a lot to weigh up when deciding whether to take a gap year.  Some common masons to take a gap year include:  Broaden your view of the world  Whether you simply want to see and experience another country, or gain an appreciation and awareness of global issues, taking a defer year can be a great way to immerse yourself in another country.  Gain relevant work experience and key skills  Working during your defer year means you’ll gain plenty of experience, skills and knowledge, which (especially if in a relevant field) can be highly valuable when applying for jobs later on.  Earn some money  Following on from that, a working year off can also be a great way to earn some extra money before starting university. You might not earn enough to pay your entire university costs, but you could perhaps cover expenses such as accommodation, text books, travel or even the first semester/ term of your course fees.  Develop useful contacts  During your defer year, you’ll likely meet a range of different people from all walks of life. This could include people you can call on for job opportunities and references, or simply some international friends on whose sofas you can crash on if you get the chance to visit their home country later.  Challenge yourself  Many students take the year to tackle challenges they’ve set for themselves, step out of their comfort zone, face their fears and enjoy new experiences. You might decide to go trekking through a jungle, climb a mountain for charity, volunteer in a developing country, or go scuba diving, skiing or snowboarding.  Improve and gain new life skills  This can be anything from learning and becoming fluent in a foreign language, becoming an instructor in an adventure sport, boosting your IT skills or learning how to teach English as a foreign language.  While there are many benefits to taking a gap year, it’s worth considering that there are also risks involved. Some of the disadvantages of a gap year you might encounter include:  You’ll be a year behind everyone who graduated high school/ secondary school with you, if they didn’t take a year off themselves.  It can cost a lot of money to organize and realize.  You may get injured or sick during your travels—if you need prescription medication, make sure to check whether your medication is legal and available in your destination country.  You might find your break too interesting/ distracting, and end up not wanting to go back into formal education.  Your study skills may have diminished, making it harder for you to adjust to life in education. This can be particularly true for mathematics or physics students, or any course that involves complex theoretical processes and techniques that may not be used outside of the classroom.  You may simply find that you didn’t get the experience you were hoping for.

问答题Practice 1Directions: You are asked to write in no less than 150 words about the title of Is It a Good Idea for Poor Students to Live Separately? And you should base your composition on the information given in English below:  At the beginning of this new semester, a university in Jiangsu Province has found a visible way to help some of its poorer students: It has built some special dormitories for poor students. More than 100 of the school’s relatively poor students are now housed in these buildings. Besides simple facilities, the major difference between these and other dormitories is that the housing costs 500 yuan a year, but in other residence halls students have to pay 1200 yuan.  1. Do you think this is a good idea to help the poorer students?  2. Give at least two reasons to support you argument.  3. Give some suggestions as to how to solve the problem.
