17．A staycation is a vacation when you do not travel at all．Some people use a staycation to just stay at home，and others prefer to experience the attractions around them without traveling very far．
There are many choices for staycations．Any town or city has plenty of choices for things to do if you know where to look．If the weather is nice，you can visit the local gardens or forests for a hike．You can look online for several historic places and create your own history tours．Of course，you can also visit other attractions in the areas like museums，restaurants，bars，parks，beaches，and so on．Often，if you drive just a few hours，you can find a city that you can walk around and see．Then by driving home you can save the cost of a hotel and a plane ride．
Others take the term"staycation"word for word and do not leave their houses at all．Some choices for this can include taking time off to cook a great meal and enjoy it together or spending all day at a pool．
Just as a coin has two sides，staycation has its advantages as well as disadvantages．
Since you are not traveling or staying in a hotel，a staycation can be unbelievably costeffective（低成本的）．You don't have to pay for a hotel，so that cost has been completely  eliminated．You are also saving by not driving very far and by not taking an airplane anywhere．Travel costs have become really high，and the farther you go，the higher they are．By staying close to home，you cut that cost by quite a bit．You are also pushing money back into your local economy（經(jīng)濟(jì)）by spending your money at local businesses rather than in cities that are far away from home．Finally，any stress that you feel with travel，whether that is from driving long distances or looking for an airport，will completely disappear．

59．For what purpose is the text written？A
A．To introduce the general information of staycatons．
B．To compare staycatons with other vacations．
C．To persuade more people to have staycations．
D．To provide different ways of staycations．
60．What is one of the advantages of a staycation？D
A．The economy in other cities is also improved．
B．People spend nothing when staying at home．
C．You can visit local attractions for free．
D．There is no stress from traveling．
61．What does the underlined word"eliminated"in Paragraph 5probably means？B
A．included         B．removed
C．covered          D．raised
62．What will probably be discussed in the following paragraph？B
A．When to take a staycation．
B．What disadvantages a staycation has．
C．Why people prefer a staycation．
D．How to have a staycation safely．

分析 本文屬于說(shuō)明文閱讀，作者通過(guò)這篇文章主要向我們介紹一種新型的度假方式staycation并詳細(xì)介紹了這種度假方式的優(yōu)勢(shì)和好處．

解答 59．A．主旨大意題．根據(jù)文章的主題段第一段可知本文主要是介紹一種新型的度假方式staycation并詳細(xì)介紹了這種度假方式的優(yōu)勢(shì)和好處，故A正確．
60．D．細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)文章最后三行Finally，any stress that you feel with travel，whether that is from driving long distances or looking for an airport，will completely disappear．說(shuō)明staycation讓我們沒(méi)有一點(diǎn)壓力，故D正確．
61．B．推理判斷題．根據(jù)本句You don't have to pay for a hotel，so that cost has been completely eliminated．你不必去付賓館的錢，所以這個(gè)費(fèi)用完全被去除了，故該詞是B項(xiàng)的意思．故B正確．
62．B．推理判斷題．根據(jù)最后一段第一行ust as a coin has two sides，staycation has its advantages as well as disadvantages．提出了staycation有好有壞，在最后一段里只是提出了staycation的好處，那么接下來(lái)最可能的就是講述它的壞處，故B正確．

7．Children's lives have changed greatly over the last 50 years．But do they have a happier childhood than you or I did？
It's difficult to look back on one's own childhood without some element of nostalgia（懷舊的）．I have four brothers and sisters，and my memories are all about being with them．Playing board games on the living room floor，or spending days in the street with the other neighborhood children，racing up and down on our bikes，or exploring the nearby woods．My parents hardly appear in these memories，except as providers either of meals or of severe blame after some particularly risky adventure．
These days，in the UK at least，the nature of childhood has changed greatly．Firstly，families are smaller，and there are far more only children．It is common for both parents to work outside the home and there is the feeling that there just isn't time to bring up a large family，or that no one could possibly afford to have more than one child．As a result，today's boys and girls spend much of their time alone．Another major change is that youngsters today tend to spend a huge amount of their free time at home，inside．More than anything this is due to the fact that parents worry far more than they used to about real or imagined dangers，so they wouldn't dream of letting their children play outside by themselves．
Finally，the kind of toys children have and the way they play is totally different．Computer and video games have replaced the board games and more interesting activities of my childhood．The iron（令人啼笑皆非的事情） is that so many ways of playing games are called"interactive"．The fact that you can play electronic games on your own further increases the sense of loneliness felt by many young people today．
Do these changes mean that children today have a less relaxing childhood than I had？I personally believe that they do，but perhaps every generation feels exactly the same．
60．What is the purpose of the direct question given in the first paragraph？A
A．To get people's attention and lead in the topic．
B．To gather people's opinions on childhood．
C．To show who the passage is written for．
D．To compare the childhood lives of two generations．
61．Which is a reason for the changes？B
A．Families are bigger today
B．It's too dangerous to play outside．
C．Children play more interactive games
D．Parents worried too much about their children．
62．What does the writer focus on in the fourth paragraph？B
A．Young people today shouldn't play electronic games．
B．Some games that young people play today aren't really good．
C．Computer and video games have replaced the board games．
D．Board games are much more interesting than computer games．
63．The writer's attitude towards the childhood changing isB．
A．a(chǎn)pproving        B．objective         C．unconcerned    D．optimistic．

8．There are three different kinds of friends in our life．I classify them according to how well I know them and how well they know me．
The first type of friend is just an acquaintance（泛泛之交）．This means that you only know their names．You might not even remember what they look like if you go away for a short vacation．You don't miss them when they are elsewhere．It is also this type of friend who gives you the most amount of aggravation （惱怒）．Since most of the time you are placed in a position where you have to act friendly，you would not normally tell an acquaintance when he or she is doing something that makes you feel angry，such as tapping the fingers on a table or shouting loudly．I call them"pest friends"．
The second kind of friend is a"guest friend"．They are just social partners．You meet them at a certain location and at the end of the meeting you go your separate way and they go theirs．You don't talk too often with this sort of friend，and you don't share each other's secrets．
Lastly，we have"best friends"．This sort of friend is there when you need them．They know you as a person and they are there through thick and thin．Best friends are the ones that you can lean and depend on no matter what happens．If you need a listening ear，they will be the one to lend support．
Friends come in all different shapes and sizes．Every friend has an effect on our life…

31．What is this passage mainly about？B

5．Making greener choices and encouraging healthy lifestyles can promote your health and benefit the environment．Here are some guidelines to follow：
Choose foods thoughtfully
Americans have never had such a variety or abundance of food to choose from．Besides so many choices，we now hear about our"food print"，the amount of land needed to supply one person's nutritional needs for a year．Do we buy cherry tomatoes from Mexico or tomatoes grown locally in a hothouse？Do．we get the Granny Smiths from the fanners'market or the supermarket？Is organic produce healthier for us and the planet？
These are very complex issues that require analysis of many criteria，including the energy used in producing and transporting the food，as well as the type of soil and methods of raising the food．
Despite the complexities，there are some general guidelines you can follow．For instance，eat less meat or eat low on the food chain．Your doctor may have recommended you to restrict your consume red meat because of its too much fat content．Beyond th at，there are environmental reasons，too．Raise food animals contributes substantially to climate change because a meat-based diet requires more land，energy and water than a plant-based one．
Drinking plenty of fluids is significant during hot weather or when exercising．But is bottled water the way to go？You may not think so when seeing the true costs．Based on a survey，manufacturing the 30-plus billion plastic water bottles can produce more than 2.5 million tons of carbon dioxide and use here times the amount of water in the bottle．Adding in transportation，the energy used comes to over 50 million barrels of oil equivalent （等價(jià)物）．Consequently，skip the bottled water and drink tap water，both at home and at restaurants．Additionally，bottled water is not necessarily cleaner than tap．
1．In Paragraph 2 the author puts forward three questions mainlyD．
A．to prove Americans have less food to choose from
B．to show us the shopping habits of most Americans

D．to remind people to reconsider their food purchase

C．Americans have a variety of food to choose from．
D．Organic produce is the only choice for Americans．
4．Based on the last paragraph，we know thatB．
A．bottled water is cleaner than tap water
B．tap water is economical as well as eco-friendly
C．bottled water is more available than tap water
D．tap water uses one-third the cost of bottled water

12．Today's 20-somethings are often called"millennials．"They grew up around the time of the  millennium（千年）in the year  2000
Are these adults？The law says yes．But societies have their expectations for what being an adult means．Some say today's 20-somethings are having a"delayed adulthood．"The term"boomerang kids"means young people leave their parents'house but，like a boomerang thrown through the air，later return．
Research psychologist Jeffrey Arnett says these terms suggest many Americans are frustrated with 20-somethings．He says Americans should consider the positive aspects．They usually have various school and work experiences or they might．try living in different cities or countries．
Cheryssa Jensen
Cheryssa Jensen might agree．She says she expected to get married right after college and to find a job near her parents．Instead，she traveled the western part of the U．S．，went to a dozen different cities there．Her job also took her to Taiwan，Sweden and Denmark．After a year of traveling，she was not sure what to do．
"Some words were nagging at me，saying，'What else，what else can you do，what else can you do while you re young？"
Julia Shaw

Julia says many people are surprised that she is married and settled in one place．But she believes she is more free than many other people of her generation and she says marriage has made her life more stable．
Though their stories are different，Julia and Cheryssa still have some things in common．Both say their families are proud of them．Both say they do not feel pressured by society to follow a particular path．And both say they are happy with their decisions．
Julia Shaw and Cheryssa Jensen have something else in common．They have not made a high-paying career their first priority．Instead，most in the survey said the most important things to them are being good parents，having a successful marriage and helping other people．

2．How can you find out what is going on inside a person's body without opening the patient's body up？Regular X rays can show a lot．CAT scans can show even more．They can give a complete view of body organs．
What is a CAT scan？CAT stands for a kind of machine．It is a special X-ray machine that gets a 360-degree picture of a small area of a patient's body．
Doctors use X rays to study and determine diseases and injuries within the body，X rays can find a foreign object inside the body or take pictures of some inside organs to be X-rayed．
A CAT scanner，however，uses a group of X rays to give a cross-sectional（橫截面）view of a specific part of the body．A fine group of X rays is scanned across the body and around the patient from many different directions．A computer studies the information from each direction and produces a clear cross-sectional picture on a screen．This picture is then photographed for later use．Several cross sections，taken one after another，can give clear"photos"of the entire body or of any body organs．The latest CAT scanners can even give clear pictures of active，moving organs，just as a fast-action camera can"stop the action"，giving clear pictures of what appears unclear to the eye．And because of the 360-degree pictures，CAT scans show clear and complete views of organs in a manner that was once only shown during operation or examination of a dead patient．
Frequent appearance before X rays can cause skin burns，cancer or other damage to the body．Yet CAT scans actually don't cause the patient to more radiation than regular X rays do．CAT scans can also be done without getting something harmful into the patient，so they are less risky than regular X rays．
CAT scans provide exact，detailed information．They can quickly find such a thing as bleeding inside the brain．They are helping to save lives．
46．What is NOT true of a CAT scan？C
A．It is safer than regular X rays．
B．It makes use of computer techniques．
C．It can stop the action of an organ for a short time．
D．It gives clear pictures of active，moving body parts．
47．The underlined words"a foreign object"（Para 3）most probably refer to．D
A．a(chǎn) badly injured part inside the body
B．a(chǎn) new thing that is unknown to the doctor
C．a(chǎn) strange organ that has grown in the body
D．a(chǎn)n object that gets inside the body by chance
48．What is the special use of the latest CAT scanners？A
A．It provides clear photos of moving organs．
B．It can take 3-dimension（三維）pictures of inside organs．
C．It won't cause serious skin burns，cancer or other damage to the body．
D．It helps to find out what is going on inside a person's body without opening it up．
49．We can infer from this passage that．A
A．patients in front of CAT may suffer from a bit of radiation
B．doctors need no opening-up of the body with CAT scanners
C．CAT scanners are more expensive than regular X-ray machines
D．CAT scanners can take photos of either the whole body or a part of it
50．The best title of this passage might be．B
A．the Newest Medical Invention
B．New X-ray Machine to Save Lives
C．How to Avoid the Damage of X Rays
D．Advantages and Disadvantages of CAT Scanners．
