Exotic (异国的) places call to them. “Come to visit us and we will show you my mysteries,” they say.Every year millions of people pack their suitcases or put on backpacks and flock to visit the seven continents of the world. They wander
26、 through the castles and museums of Europe, and the cities and natural wonders of North and South America. Some visit the vast exotic cultures of Asia, Africa and the Middle East.

30、B. Advantages of travelingC. Culture differencesD. Attitudes towards travelingBThe British royal family is about to be slimmed down. The queen plans to reduce the number of real royals, as was recently announced. However, there seems little sign of the monarchy (君主) disappearing completelyUp till th
31、e 17th century, the British king or queen was believed to rule by “divine (神的) right”, which was the idea that God chose the king or queen to rule and that he or she was therefore above the law. However, this idea ended with the English Revolution, in which King Charles the first was imprisoned and
32、then killed in 1649So what role does the British royal family have today?Well, the Queen has important formal duties: as Head of State, the Queen represents the UK on visits abroad and invites other world leaders to visit the UK. As Head of the Armed Forces, only the Queen can declare when the UK is
33、 at war or when war was over. The Queen also has constitutional duties: She has to sign many government and Commonwealth documents every day. In addition, the royal family spends a great deal of its time traveling up and down the country in support of different charity projects. But the public in Br
34、itain do not believe there should be a royal family. Sometimes, the press and media criticize the royal family as well. One criticism is that British people should not have to pay for the royal family through their taxesToday, the royal family works hard to be relevant in the modern world. The queen
35、s speech on TV is less formal every Christmas, and is now available as a podcast (播客). In 2005, after graduation from university, Prince William spent time teaching English in Uruguay, the sort of work many young British people do at some time in their lives60.

36、wo paragraphs?A. The British king or queen is no longer believed to rule by divine rightB. The British king or queen is about to become common peopleC. The English Revolution put an end to the British royal family in 1649D. The royal familys role was most important in Britain in the 17th century61.

Inviting other world leaders to visit the UKD. Signing Commonwealth documents every day62. Prince William is mentioned in the passage to show that _
38、A. he is popular in the UK B. many young British people do voluntary workC. he has tried to win young peoples admiration D. the royal family is trying to change their image63. We can infer from the passage that _A. British people are all in favor of the royal familyB. the British royal family are fa
39、cing surviving challenges C. the public are encouraged to oppose the royal familyD. British youths are required to teach English in Uruguay in their livesCThere are two things I can count on my dad asking every time he calls me: “Is there anything I can do for you?” and “Hows the car?” I guess he as
40、ks what he can do for me because his dad (an air force officer) was never really there for him, and hes determined to provide me with the support he lacked. During my youth he never missed a school play or softball game. In fact, he wasso supportive that I sometimes longed for one of those dads who
41、dressed better and cared less. But my dad would forever be the guy wearing shorts with dress shoes and black socks, cheering me on, expecting greatness. His other standard question Hows the car? used to strike me as a waste of long-distance dollars from a man who once suggested making a list of what
42、 you want to talk about before calling someone out of state. What I now realize is that “Hows the car?” is not about the car. Its a fathers way of asking his adult daughter how she is doing. The advantage is that if theres something wrong with the car, he knows what to do about it and how much it wi
43、ll cost, whereas if youre having problems about marriage or doubting a career choice, he might have to act Mom on the line. At age thirty I finally took the plunge (跳进) into adulthood by renting a car without my dads help or advice. Im sure my dad was hurt rather than proud. Though a daughters indep
44、endence is evidence of a job well done, it still implies the jobs done, and many fathers are unwilling to retire. Even when my dad was overworked, hed happily jump on a plane if I said I needed help. His frequent question “Is there anything I can do for you?” underlines the fact that he wishes there
45、 was still something he could provide. Its interesting: even though were tied by blood and I love him no matter what, he still seems to need a concrete function suggesting stocks, finding the cheapest plane fare to feel he has a role in my life. 64. The authors father always showed up in his daughte
46、rs school activities to _.A. watch them out of his own curiosityB. guarantee she would perform well C. support her in all possible waysD. show his own lack of fatherly love65.

60、azon Kindle Paperwhite.EPeople who enjoy a dream-filled sleep are better at recalling information and making links between facts when they wake, scientists found. But recharging with a shallow nap (小睡) offers no such mental improvement, the research suggests. The results of the study add to the evid
61、ence that Rapid Eye Movement (REM) sleep is very important to the brains ability to strengthen memories. An average nights sleep includes four or five periods of REM sleep, but these tend to be longer towards the end of the night. This means that adults who get less than the recommended seven to eig
62、ht hours a night and therefore inadequate REM sleep may be damaging their minds ability to form strong memories. Although REM sleep is not classified as a type of deep sleep, it is only reached after the brain has passed through deep sleep stages. In the most recent study, participants were shown gr
63、oups of three words such as “cookie”, “heart”, and “sixteen” and asked to find another word that can be associated with all three words. In this example, the answer would have been “sweet”. They were tested once in the morning and then given the same task again in the afternoon. In between, some wer
64、e allowed a nap with REM sleep, some a nap without REM sleep, while the others had a quiet rest period. The quiet rest and non-REM sleep groups showed no improvement in their test results, but the REM sleep group improved on their morning performance by an average of almost 40 percent. Dr Sara Medni
65、ck, a sleep researcher at the University of California who led the study, believes the formation of connections between previously unassociated information in the brain which leads to creative problem-solving is encouraged by mental changes which occur during REM sleep. People woken while their clos

76、, interest is the best teacher for a learner. I really appreciate the opinion. I began to be crazy about English when I was a little boy / girl. And I got interested in foreign cultures ad customs in particular to meet my curiosity. I read English stories, listened to English songs or watched English films every day, all of which even seemed to be the “meal” of my daily life. As a result, I always did very well in English exams. In a word, interest is the key to success. Anyone who is interested in something will devote himself to it. Surely a big miracle will be made.
