题目
题型:不详难度:来源:
Liu Hui is very excited. The students in a school in Shanghai will go to the USA with his parents during the Spring Festival.
“Overseas touring has always been a dream for me,” he said happily.
Nowadays, Chinese people enjoy longer holidays, such as the three “Golden Week Holidays”(the Spring Festival, May Day and National Day). They have more time to travel. Rising incomes also make travelling abroad realistic for ordinary Chinese people.
Nearly 7 million Chinese travelled overseas in 2001, according to the National Tourism Administration(国家旅游局). The most common problem travellers face is how to choose the best routes(路线).
By the end of 2002, Chinese citizens were allowed to travel to 19 foreign countries and regions at their own expense.
The top 10 places included Hong Kong, Macao and Thailand. European countries are also becoming increasingly popular.
“More and more Chinese people have shown interest in travelling to Europe, particularly France and Finland,” said Tan Wen, a general manager of China Youth Travel Service. “Sooner or later, there will be a peak(高峰) in European tours.”
Another consideration is choosing the right travel agencies and finding the best price. The China Consumers’ Association(CCA,中国消费者协会)offered tips to consumers on choosing the right travel agencies to help prevent a relaxing vacation from turning into a costly disaster.
“Price should not be the single most important factor in choosing a travel agency,” said Zhang Yuanchao, CCA vice-secretary general. Consumers are advised to choose large State travel agencies with good reputations and official approval to organize overseas tour groups.
Zhang’s association dealt with more than 5, 000 complaints about travel agencies(旅行社) last year. And the majority of the complaints were about random changes in travel routes, bad tour guides, and forced shopping.
Travellers were warned to look carefully at their contracts with agencies and to buy travel insurance(保险).
小题1:How many reasons are given in the article as to why ordinary Chinese people are traveling abroad more today?
A.Two.B.Three.C.Four.D.Five.
小题2:According to the passage, what is the biggest problem Chinese travelers face when going overseas?
A.Choosing the best travel agent.
B.Deciding the best way to get to the places they want to go to.
C.Traveling to Europe.
D.Cost.
小题3:According to the passage, what seems to be the most common result of choosing a bad travel agency?
A.People buy more souvenirs than they had planned to.
B.People spend more money than they had planned to.
C.People go to different places than they had palnned to.
D.People complained more than they had planned to.
小题4:The underlined part “random changes” probably means that         .
A.the travelers agreed with the changes.
B.the travel agency didn’t make any changes.
C.the travel agency refused to changes the routes.
D.the travel agency changed the routes or time without following the original plan.

Between their crazy schedules and upside-down circadian(昼夜节律的) rhythms, teens have always been somewhat sleep-deprived(剥夺).Now technology is making it worse.
Teens are not just texting, instant-messaging and surfing Facebook all day; they’re sleeping with their cell phones or laptops, too.Or rather, not sleeping.And doctors and parents, many of whom raised in an era when phones were attached to walls, are concerned.
“So many teens are having sleep issues, and parents aren’t necessarily regulating the use of the electronic devices enough,” says Margie Ryerson, a therapist.“It’s impossible to wind down and relax the body, the mind, the senses and be ready to fall asleep.”
“We all know teens don’t get enough sleep in general,” says San Francisco.“As long as parents allow teens to have these devices in their bedrooms at night, teens will be tempted(诱惑) to use them.”… Teens would socialize 24/7 if they could.
Ryerson calls it the CNN syndrome of teenhood— round-the-clock reports on breaking news about everything, from homework to wardrobe choices to ice-cream cravings.
Sleep deprivation is linked to memory and concentration problems, anxiety and depression, and moodiness.“Many people assume these problems arise directly from adolescence, which is not really true,” he says.“The real issue is sleep deprivation.Late-night texting can certainly make the situation worse.”
“The psychology behind this constant contact is certainly understandable,” Ryerson says.“It comes from wanting to avoid being left out.They won’t be considered important and significant in their peer group, if they don’t know what’s going on.If they’re on top of everything, they belong,” she says.
“What helps, at least for younger kids,” says Ryerson, “is parental involvement.If all of their friends are all able to text into the early hours of the night, it is hard for a middle or high schooler to set the limit themselves.Often they appreciate parents stepping in.”
“As parents, we want our kids to be happy, healthy and responsible,” she says, “and the most necessary requirement for achieving balance is to first take care of ourselves physically — eating well, exercising and getting enough sleep.”
小题1:According to Ryerson, it seems that ____.
A.it is unnecessary to control teens’ using the electric devices
B.parents possibly don’t control teens in using the electric devices
C.there is no need for parents to make use of the electric devices
D.parents don’t learn enough how to use the electric devices
小题2:By saying the underlined part “the CNN syndrome of teenhood”(in Para5), Ryerson means _.
A.teens are affected by CNN news reports very much
B.teens watch news report on CNN around the clock
C.teens text to tell each other everything possible
D.teens like the news report on CNN
小题3:When teens felt depressed, people used to think it was because ____.
A.teens stayed up late to do homework
B.teens were easily anxious in character
C.teens didn’t have enough sleep at night
D.teens were going through a period of growth
小题4:Why do teens keep texting all the time?
A.To have a sense of being accepted by others.
B.To keep informed of what is going on in the world.
C.To spread important news among their group.
D.To reduce the pressure from parents and schools.

Can you communicate with others when you live in a foreign country with no or little knowledge of its language? Of course, it is possible. You can communicate your moods and intentions to one another without words, because all human beings share a lot of common visual(看见的)signals. These signals are as effective as words during communication.
The gestures of the head play a key role in body language. The movements of eyes and eyebrows are as important as head movements in body language.
  Besides the gestures of the head or the movements of the eyes and eyebrows, the action of arms, hands and legs is also a large part of body language. Extending one"s arm and shaking hands with others is a greeting in both formal and informal cases. This part of body language might date back to primary tribes(部落).
  Like handshaking, there are still many other forms of body language presented by hands. Raising one"s hand and making a circle with his thumb(拇指)and for finger signals, that something is OK. Clasped(握紧的)hands raised above the head, a traditional picture accepted by sportsmen after winning a fight, is a display of triumph that grows out of a kind of feeling following a victory. Waving one"s hands, a speaker can make his words more powerful and vigorous(有活力的).
  Besides hand gestures, there are times when a person says something with his legs as well as with his head and eyes. The leg gestures often reflect one"s attitude towards something or someone that person is with.
  According to the above facts, body language has offered a more reliable(可靠的)way to understand one"s mind by means of gestures. Though it is soundless and wordless, once you understand it, you will feel the world is bigger than you realized.
小题1: Which of the following is the proper title for this passage?
A.Body LanguageB.How to Communicate with the People around You
C.The History of Body Language D.Gestures And Languages
小题2:After reading the passage we can conclude that ________.
A.hand shaking suggests that the speaker is excited
B.head plays a less important part in body language
C.actors and actresses are good at gestures
D.people began to use body language long long ago
小题3:What"s the characteristic of body language?
A.Soundless and wordless.B.Difficult to understand.
C.Powerful and vigorous.   D.Effective and normal
小题4:When sports men win a match, they probably ________.
A.clasp their hands to announce their victory
B.clasp their hands to express their excited feeling
C.have a picture taken as soon as possible
D.show a sign of thankfulness
