解析
试题分析：这篇文章在圣彼得堡观光必去的四个景点特点。
小题1:细节题：根据The Hermitage Museum部分中“There are lots of different paintings by the old masters in the Hermitage”在Hermitage有许多绘画大师的不同作品，以及The Church of Our Savior on the Spilt Blood部分中“ the painting inside the church will make you say “Wow!””在教堂里的这幅画会让你说“哇!”，可知这两个地方的绘画作品最有名。故选D。
小题2:细节题：根据Peterhof部分中“You’ll be charged for admission”你会被收取门票钱，可知A错误；根据Kizhi Island 部分中“Kizhi Island is an open-air museum of wooden architecture from the Karelia Region of Russia”可知这座建筑物是木质的，因此B正确；根据Peterhof部分中“They are shut off in winter evenings”他们在冬季的晚上会被关闭，可知C错误；文中没有提及俄罗斯最大的艺术品收藏，可知D错误。故选B。
小题3:推理题：文章第一段是文章主旨，其中“these are the top must-see sights in St．Petersburg．”这些都是在圣彼得堡前必看的景点，可知文章介绍了这些必看景点特点。故选D。
小题4:推理题：划线部分“If you are short of time, or just want to make sure to hit the highlights, these are the top must-see sights in St．Petersburg”如果你想节省时间，或只是想确保到热点景点参观，这些都是在圣彼得堡前必看的景点，由此可知hit the highlights是指最让人们感兴趣、人们去得最多的景点，只有D项符合语意。故选D。

FOCUS
Focus is making a repeat appearance on my list this year because I’m too much of a multitasker. The problem is that I have trouble finishing one thing with so many things calling me. When I was working as a writer, all my projects were handled via a schedule, I’m putting a fitness and housekeeping routine into my schedule.
HEALTH
I get so busy taking care of everyone else, and I forget to take care of myself and this has to change. My health suffers and my weight suffers. I have to get my health in check, not only for me but because I promised my 9-year-old son. I’ll make good food and lifestyle choices. I miss being thin, and it’s time to get it back.
CELEBRATE
What good is having it if I’m not taking time to enjoy it? I have a wonderful job, a happy family, and so much to be thankful for. So how come I spend all my time working? Last summer my family took our first vacation in four years, the best thing I’ve done for myself and my family in a long time. This year, I’m making sure to take time to enjoy life and celebrate its many blessings.
Do you have any words for 2013?

Lonely Planet is one of the world’s largest travel guide brands, publishing more than 500 different guides in eight languages. This year marks the company’s 40th anniversary. The popular brand also produces television shows, websites and podcasts, all dedicated to travel.
Some people praise Lonely Planet books because they make traveling easy and affordable. They save you time and keep you from missing the very best things in a place. And of course, their reviews of hostels, hotels and restaurants, in addition to ticket information about your destination, are useful.
This can be great if you’re a nervous traveler, or if you haven’t traveled by yourself before. If you’re in a country where you don’t speak the language, sometimes there’s nothing better than getting into a taxi and opening up a guidebook. You simply point to a map, directing the taxi driver to a hostel that’s cheap and clean, with friendly staff and cold beer.
But others criticize Lonely Planet and other travel guide publishers. They say guidebooks take the fun and spontaneity(自发性)out of traveling, and that part of the enjoyment of travel comes from the fact that anything can happen. They also lament(哀叹)that if you follow a guidebook, you’ll end up doing the same things and having the same experiences as everyone else. You might end up seeing the same group of people over and over, because everyone is reading the same book and following the same trail.
Another criticism of travel guides is that they have an overly(过度的)large influence on local communities. For example, some locals dedicate their lives solely(仅仅)to behaving in ways that attract tourists. They fake a traditional lifestyle, wear traditional clothes and live in traditional houses just to attract tourists’ dollars.
小题1:The Lonely Planet guidebook can bring you the following advantages EXCEPT that .
| A．it can help you to save time and money when traveling |
| B．you will not miss the best things without having to make choices |
| C．it provides a lot of useful information about your destination |
| D．you can easily find a nice place to stay in a strange city |
| A．Someone who always takes a taxi when traveling. |
| B．A tourist who likes to repeat others’ experiences. |
| C．A person who’s nervous touring an unfamiliar place. |
| D．A native traveler who is traveling alone. |
| A．the guidebook is not as useful as most travelers expect |
| B．travelers using it will be bored with meeting the same people on their journey |
| C．travelers using it may not get the chance to have unexpected adventures |
| D．local people keep their old lifestyle under the guidebook’s influence |
| A．mistake | B．learn | C．pretend | D．create |

In the meanwhile，his friend，the sportsman，never let him out of
his sight-afraid，no doubt，that the doctor might take his departure，without saying a word to anybody．On this subject，he tried to discourage him with the most persuasive arguments，which，however，did NOT persuade Samuel Ferguson，and wasted his breath，by which the latter seemed to be but slightly moved．In fine，Dick felt that the doctor was slipping through his fingers．
The poor Scot was really to be pitied．He could not look upon the
blue sky without a wild terror: when asleep，he felt dizziness(眩晕)that made his head turn around；and every night he had visions of crashing down from immeasurable heights．
We must add that，during these nightmares，he once or twice fell out of bed. His first care then was to show Ferguson a severe bump(肿块)that he had received on the fall．“And yet，”he
would add，with warmth，“that was at the height of only three feet一not an inch more一and such a bump as this! Only think，then!”
This appeal，full of sad meaning as it was，did not seem to touch the doctor"s heart．Not even the shadow of a doubt was ever suggested；and Samuel made an intolerable misuse of the first person plural：“‘Our’balloon，‘our’ car ；‘our’expedition.”
Dick trembled at them，although he was determined not to go ; he did not want to annoy his friend．Let us also disclose the fact that，without knowing exactly why himself，he had sent to Edinburgh for a certain selection of heavy clothing，and his best hunting-tools and fire-arms．
小题1:Why did Dr．Ferguson start to learn new languages?
| A．To keep himself occupied． |
| B．To get ready for the departure． |
| C．To show his talent in language． |
| D．To Know more about balloon construction． |
| A．suffered from a disease during the nights |
| B．got hurt in a fall from the balloon in the evening |
| C．decided to take the adventure with the doctor at last |
| D．equipped himself with arms to frighten his friend |
| A．Excited． | B．Optimistic． | C．Worried. | D．Determined |
| A．News． | B．Fiction． | C．Journal． | D．Biography． |
In most Asia societies, by contrast, the people have the same language, history and culture. Perhaps for this reason, the educational system in much of the orient reflects society’s belief in group goals and purposes rather than individualism. Children in China, Japan and Korea often work together and help one another on assignments.
There are advantages and disadvantages of both systems of education. For example, one advantage of the system in Japan is that students there learn much more about math, physics, biology and chemistry than American students by the end of high school. They also study more hours each day and more days each year than North Americans do. The system is difficult, but it prepares students for a society that values discipline and self-control. There is, however, a disadvantage. Memorization is an important learning method in Japanese schools, yet many students say that after an exam, they forget much of the information that they have memorized.
The advantage of the educational system in North America, on the other hand, is that students learn to think for themselves. The system prepares them for a society that values creative ideas. There is, however, a disadvantage. When students graduate from school, they haven’t memorized as many basic rules and facts as students in other countries have.
小题1:The writer’s purpose of writing this passage is .
| A．to share his idea with others in a new way |
| B．to introduce two different systems of education through contrast |
| C．to criticize the society that values memorization |
| D．to prepare students for society |
| A．The system of education in the West is more creative than that in the East |
| B．Japanese students learn much more about science than American students. |
| C．Canadian students are more individual than Korean students. |
| D．Students in North America are not so friendly as those in Asia. |
| A．Asian students are more likely to do better in teamwork than American students |
| B．Chinese students are more hard-working in their studies than Mexican students |
| C．the Western educational system is much better than the Eastern educational system. |
| D．the Eastern educational system is as difficult as the Western educational system. |
| A．Advantages and Disadvantages of Educational System. |
| B．The Value of Individualism. |
| C．Educational System-an Obvious Difference between the East and the West. |
| D．Memorization-an Important Learning Method. |
