Although the New Year is already here, the great moments of the past year are still in the memory. Let’s look back at some of them.
United States
One of the world’s largest New Year’s Eve parties was held in Times Square, New York. The festival attracted hundreds of thousands of people to watch a brightly-lit ball drop on a landmark building at the stroke (擊、打) of midnight.
A great amount of confetti (五彩紙屑) was released from the sky at zero o’clock.
Britain
Painted in shinning colors, blowing whistles, 50，000 party-goers arrived in London’s Millennium Dome to dance in the New Year. The Millennium Dome came to life at midnight as 50 DJs started up, competing on five separate dance floors to warm the crowd into the party mood.
Russia
New Year is the biggest holiday in Russia. It is traditional to put up a tree for celebrations with family and friends.
On the very last day of last year, Russians with a taste for a very cold swim braved freezing temperatures to plant traditional, festival trees on the bed of the Northern Ocean and at the bottom of Lake Baikal, the world’s deepest lake.
Malaysia
Brave skydivers threw themselves off the world’s tallest building near midnight and floated towards the New Year.
The jump from the 452-metre Petronas Twin Tower was called a real leap from one year to the next since the group took off in the last second of the old year and landed a minute later in the New Year. “That was really cool,” said Roland Simpson, “over crowds of onlookers to the landing spot.”

I looked out at the family huddled by the Christmas tree. The smallest one was pointing at the television and exclaiming something to her mother. The oldest one was looking at an ornament on the tree.
I went back to the nurses’ station and mentioned we had a _48_ family in the waiting room.

We were each entitled to a free meal in the hospital cafeteria on Christmas Day, so we _51_ that meal and prepared a banquet for our Christmas guests. We needed presents. We put together oranges and apples in a basket. From various departments, we _52_candies, crayons and other suitable items. As seriously as we met the physical _53_ of the patients that came to us that day, our team worked to meet the needs, and go beyond the _54_ , of a family who just wanted to be warm on Christmas Day.
Later, as the family walked to the door to _55_, the four-year-old came running back, gave me a hug and whispered, “Thanks for being our angels today.”

Without proper planning, tourism can cause problems. For example, too many tourists can crowd public places that are also enjoyed by the inhabitants(居民) of a country. If tourists create too much traffic, the inhabitants become angry and unhappy. They begin to dislike tourists and to treat them impolitely. They forget how much tourism can help the country’s economy. It is important to think about the people of a destination(目的地) country and how tourism affects them. Tourism should help a country keep the customs and beauty that attract tourists. Tourism should also advance health and happiness of local inhabitants.
　　Too much tourism can be a problem. If tourism grows too quickly, people must leave other jobs to work in the tourism industry. This means that other parts of the country’s economy can suffer.
　　On the other hand, if there is not enough tourism, people can lose jobs. Businesses can also lose money. It costs a great deal of money to build large hotels, airports, first-class roads, and other support facilities(設(shè)施) needed by tourist attractions. For example, a major international-class tourist hotel can cost as much as 50 thousand dollars per room to build. If this room is not used most of the time, the owners of the hotel lose money.
　　Building a hotel is just a beginning. There must be many support facilities as well, including roads to get to the hotel, electricity, sewers(陰溝) to handle waste, and water. All of these support facilities cost money. If they are not used because there are not enough tourists, jobs and money are lost.
小題1:Which of the following has most probably been discussed in the paragraph that goes before the passage?
A．It is not important to develop tourism.
B．Building roads and hotels is important.
C．Support facilities are highly necessary.
D．Planning is of great importance to tourism.
小題2:Too much tourism can cause all these problems except _____.
A．a(chǎn) bad effect on other industries
B．a(chǎn) change of the customs of the country
C．a(chǎn)ir and water pollution
D．pressure on traffic
小題3:Not enough tourism can lead to _____.
A．the fact that some people may be out of work
B．a(chǎn)n increase in tourist attractions
C．the higher cost of support facilities
D．a(chǎn) rise in price and a fall in pay
小題4:The word “handle” in the last paragraph most probably means _____.
A．carry awayB．pick upC．get inD．take down

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項(xiàng)中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。
Two brightly colored butterflies have just flown by. They seems to be exactly alike, but actually one is a little larger than the other.   1  The smaller one has a wingspread of less than three inches and also a black line on its back wings.
At first sight, it is hard to tell them apart. Would you guess from this that they are different-sized butterflies of the same species?  2  If you said yes to either question, you would be wrong, for these look-alikes belong to quite different families.
The larger insect is the monarch butterfly (黑脈金斑蝶). As a baby insect, the monarch feeds on milkweed, which seems to give the monarch a disagreeable taste and smell.   3  Birds that eat butterflies soon recognize the monarch and quickly learn to leave it alone.
  4  Birds would find this insect tasty, but because it looks like the monarch, birds keep away from it. The viceroy’s similarity to the monarch gives it some protection from its enemies and helps it survive.
There are other pairs of look-alike butterflies, bees and moths. In each case, one either has a disagreeable taste or smell, or can give a painful sting (叮咬). The larger is called the model.  5  
A．The smaller insect is the viceroy (副王峽蝶), which feeds on the leaves of trees.
B．The larger insect has a wingspread (翼長(zhǎng)) of up to four inches.
C．The bright coloring of the monarch acts as a warning sign to its enemy.
D．Birds protect their babies from eating such dangerous enemies.
E. The insect that imitates this model for protection is called the mimic（保護(hù)色）.
F. Or that they are different species of butterflies but close relatives belonging to the same family?
G. Do you like this kind of special species?

The Republic of Vanuatu is an island nation located in the South Pacific Ocean. It was one of the poorest nations in the region. Within the last five years, however, it has become a hot spot for adventure travelers. In 2006 it was voted the happiest place on Earth. The reason is not that Vanuatu are the richest but that Vanuatu has white-sand islands, clear waters, the world’s most accessible live volcano, great diving and food that grows faster than it can be picked.
With a population of about 221,000, Vanuatu has 113 languages, which is a result of 3,000 years of immigration from many Pacific countries. There are three official languages: English, French, and Bislama. Bislama developed from South Pacific English, a simplified language that traders and other foreigners used it to communicate with speakers of the many local languages.
Most of the islands are mountainous and of volcanic origin. There are several active volcanoes in Vanuatu, including Yasur on the island of Tanna, one of the world’s most accessible volcanoes. If you’ve ever fancied getting close to a volcano, here’s your chance.

Vanuatu Post’s Underwater Post Office has quickly become one of the busiest post offices for postcards in the world! Visitors from around the world want to experience the world’s first underwater post office. The Post Office is only 50 meters offshore and at just three meters below the surface, very appealing to the young and young at heart. Since opening in 2003, the underwater post office has received about 100,000 visitors. They have posted one of the waterproof（防水的）postcards available in Vanuatu; these cards are collected regularly by one of Vanuatu Post’s four trained divers. The underwater branch is manned daily for usually about an hour, longer with demand.

TANG Dynasty writer Du Mu once wrote in a poem titled Qingming: "The ceaseless drizzle drips all the dismal day; So broken-hearted fares the traveler on the way.Where can a wine house be found to drown his sadness ?A cowherd points to Almond Flower (Xing Hua) Village in the distance."
Qingming, the traditional tomb-sweeping day on the Chinese lunar calendar, falls on April 4 this year. Qingming Jie was proclaimed a Chinese national holiday in 2008. It is a time for remembering loved ones who have departed (去世). People visit their ancestors’ graves to sweep away the dirt and get rid of any weeds. They also leave offerings (祭品) of food and flowers, and burn incense (香) and paper money. Chinese tombs are usually built in the woods or on mountains, far from the city. It is believed that an area that faces south, with many pine trees, is a proper place for a tomb. People believe such a place will make the ancestors happy, and in return, they will look after the living family.
Nowadays, more and more residents are choosing environmental-friendly ways to spend the holiday such as flower sacrifices and memorial ceremonies on the Internet or at home. As one of the traditional ways to celebrate Tomb-sweeping Day – burning paper or incense – isn't exactly good for air quality.
In contrast to the sadness of the tomb sweepers, people also enjoy hope of Spring on this day. The Qingming Festival is a time when the sun shines brightly, the trees and grass become green and nature is again lively. Since ancient times, people have followed the custom of Spring outings. At this time tourists are everywhere.
Many people fly kites on Tomb Sweeping Day. They are usually made from a bamboo crossbow with coloured paper. The kite vibrates and buzzes as it rises into the sky, counterbalanced by its tail. Large kites can be as broad as three metres across, with a tail of six to ten metres. Most kites have a rectangular shape, and many have patterns of crabs, centipedes, butterflies, dragonflies, or Chinese characters such as "good fortune" or "long life". (361words)
小題1:What’s the main idea of the second paragraph?
A．The cultural difference between the east and the west.
B．The traditional customs on tomb-sweeping day.
C．Various ways to care for the dead in the world.
D．Qingming Festival
小題2:All of the following practices are mentioned on tomb-sweeping day EXCEPT_____ .
A．Weeping over the passed-away.
B．Flying kites made from bamboo and paper
C．Sending flowers to their ancestors’ graves.
D．Burning incense and paper money for the dead.
小題3:Which of the following is correct according to passage?
A．Du Mu ,the well-known poet in Song Dynasty wrote a poem about Qing Ming.
B．Qingming Festival used to be a Chinese national holiday.
C．People have the custom of flying kites on Qing Ming.
D．Those whose ancestors were buried in proper places will have a bright future.
小題4:The writer write the passage in order to____________ .
A．enable us to observe traditional tomb-sweeping day.
B．show traditional and present ways to spend Qingming Festival .
C．educate people to show their respect to the ancestors
D．raise people’s awareness of environmental protection.

To American visitors, Iceland is a very interesting country, partly because it is different in so many ways from what he or she is used to seeing at home. There are quite a few things that are not done, or that do not exist on the island - quite a few "No's".
There is no pollution, for instance. No dogs are permitted in Reykjavik, the capital. There is no television on Thursdays or during the entire month of July, and only three hours of black-and-white TV the rest of the time. There is no hard liquor on Wednesdays and no beer at any time. There are no handguns; only one jail of thirty-five cells（牢房） in the entire land – an admirable figure, even for a small country of 313,376 people.
There is no army, air force or navy. There is no tipping for anything. There are no large stores open on Saturdays or Sundays. Since Iceland is situated just under the Arctic Circle, there is no darkness in summer and do daylight in winter. But thanks to Gulf Stream, the climate is rather mild, with temperatures ranging from 34 degrees Fahrenheit to 52 degrees in July.
The rules on television, liquor, and guns are the result of governmental decision. But the absence of pollution is due in great part to the fact that Iceland gets its power from the enormous geyser（間歇泉）and the thousands of hot springs that come out of the ground. They provide all the energy needed by the country. In fact, Iceland uses only 3 percent of all its available power.
Iceland has been described as a democratic (民主的) independent country where more fish are caught and more books published per person than anywhere else in the world. The Icelanders have always felt a particular love for literature. They composed their first works in the ninth and tenth centuries AD. These works were poems and tales about the kings, heroes, and heroines of Iceland and Norway. At first the stories were memorized and passed from generation to generation. The Icelanders have never stopped writing ever since. “Rather shoeless than bookless," they proudly say.
小題1:American visitors enjoy visiting Iceland probably because     .
A．no dogs are permitted in the capital
B．the police do not carry handguns
C．it is very different from America
D．the climate is rather mild.
小題2:The following statements are true EXCEPT       .
A．there are no soldiers in Iceland
B．the Icelanders don't drink beer
C．there is no service fee of any kind
D．there are no crimes in Iceland
小題3:There is no pollution in Iceland mainly because         .
A．Iceland uses only 3 percent of all its available power
B．the Icelanders use hot water from the ground below as their energy
C．it is located just under the Arctic Circle
D．it is a democratic independent country
小題4:"Rather shoeless than bookless" means         .
A．they regard books more important than shoes.
B．they would rather have shoes on than write books
C．they prefer traveling to reading
D．they prefer not to have shoes or books
