【題目】Without proper planning, tourism can cause problems. For ex-ample, too many tourists can crowd public places that are also enjoyed by the inhabitants of a country. If tourists create too much traffic, the inhabitants become annoyed 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 country and how tourism affects them. Tourism should help a country keep the customs and beauty that attract tourists. Tourism should also advance the wealth 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, air terminals, first-class roads, and other support facilities （配套設(shè)施）needed by tourist attractions. For example, a major international class tourism 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 sup-port facilities as well, including roads to get to the hotel, electricity, sewers 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.

【1】Which of the following do you think has been discussed in the part before this selection?

A. It is extremely important to develop tourism.

B. Building roads and hotels is essential.

C. Support facilities are highly necessary.

D. Planning is of great importance to tourism.

【2】The underlined word " inhabitants "（in Paragraph 1） probably means __________.

A. tourists B. passengers

C. population D. citizens

【3】Too much tourism can cause all these problems EXCEPT __________.

A. a bad effect on other industries

B. a change of tourists' customs

C. over-crowdedness of places of interest

D. pressure on traffic

【4】The author thinks it is good for local people to know that tourism will __________.

A. waste a lot of money

B. weaken their economy

C. help establish their customs

D. help improve their life

【題目】When something goes wrong, it can be very satisfying to say，"Well, it's so-and-so's fault. " or " I know I'm late, but it's not my fault; the car broke down. " It is probably not your fault, but once you form the habit of blaming somebody or something else for a bad situation, you are a loser. You have no power and could do noting that helps change the situation. However, you can have great power over what happens to you if you stop focusing on whom to blame and start focusing on how to remedy the situation. This is the winner's key to success.

Winners are great at overcoming problems. For example, if you were late because your car broke down, maybe you need to have your car examined more regularly. Or, you might start to carry along with you the useful phone numbers, so you could call for help when in need. For another example, if your colleague causes you problems on the job for lack of responsibility or ability, find ways of dealing with his irresponsibility or inability rather than simply blame the person. Ask to work with a different person, or don't rely on this person. You should accept that the person is not reliable and find creative ways to work successfully regardless of how your colleague fails to do his job well.

This is what being a winner is all about-creatively using your skills and talents so that you are successful no matter what hap-pens. Winners don't have fewer problems in their lives; they have just as many difficult situations to face as anybody else. They are just better at seeing those problems as challenges and opportunities to develop their own talents. So, stop focusing on “whose fault it is.” Once you are confident about your power over bad situations, problems are just stepping stop on for success.

【1】According to the passage, winners __________.

A. deal with problems rather than blame others

B. meet with fewer difficulties in their lives

C. have responsible and able colleagues

D. blame themselves rather than others

【2】The underlined word “remedy" in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to __________.

A. avoid B. accept

C. improve D. consider

【3】When your colleague brings about a problem, you should __________.

A. find a better way to handle the problem

B. blame him for his lack of responsibility

C. tell him to find the cause of the problem

D. ask a more able colleague for help

【4】When problems occur, winners take them as __________.

A. excuses for their failures

B. barriers to greater power

C. challenges to their colleagues

D. chances for self-development

【題目】Still seeking a destination for your weekend break? There are some places which are probably a mere wall away from your college．

King’s Art Centre

A day at the Centre could mean a visit to an exhibition of the work of one of the most interesting contemporary artists on show anywhere．This weekend sees the opening of an exhibition of four local artists．

You could attend a class teaching you how to ‘learn from the masters’ or get more creative with paint – free of charge．

The Centre also runs two life drawing classes for which there is a small fee．

the Botanic Garden

The Garden has over 8,000 plant species; it holds the research and teaching collection of living plants for Cambridge University．

The multi-branched Torch Aloe here is impressive．The African plant produces red flowers above blue-green leaves, and is not one to miss．

Get to the display house to see Dionaea muscipula, a plant more commonly known as the Venus Flytrap that feeds on insects and other small animals．

The Garden is also a place for wildlife-enthusiasts．Look for grass snakes in the lake．A snake called ‘Hissing Sid’ is regularly seen lying in the heat of the warm sun．

Byron’s Pool

Many stories surround Lord Byron’s time as a student of Cambridge University．Arriving in 1805, he wrote a letter complaining that it was a place of “mess and drunkenness”．However, it seems as though Byron did manage to pass the time pleasantly enough．I’m not just talking about the pet bear he kept in his rooms．He spent a great deal of time walking in the village.

It is also said that on occasion Byron swam naked by moonlight in the lake, which is now known as Byron’s Pool．A couple of miles past Grantchester in the south Cambridgeshire countryside, the pool is surrounded by beautiful circular paths around the fields．The cries of invisible birds make the trip a lovely experience and on the way home you can drop into the village for afternoon tea．If you don’t trust me, then perhaps you’ll take it from Virginia Woolf – over a century after Byron, she reportedly took a trip to swim in the same pool．

【1】As mentioned in the passage, there is a small charge for ____．

A．attending the masters’ class

B．working with local artists

C．seeing an exhibition

D．learning life drawing

【2】“Torch Aloe” and “Venus Flytrap” are ____．

A．impressive plants B．common insects

C．rarely-seen snakes D．wildlife-enthusiasts

【3】We can infer from the passage that Byron seemed ____．

A．to like walking

B．to fear pet bears

C．to be a heavy drinker

D．to finish university in 1805

【4】What is the passage mainly about?

A．Some places for weekend break．

B．A way to become creative in art．

C．The colourful life in the countryside．

D．Unknown stories of Cambridge University.

【題目】閱讀下面短文，然后按要求寫一篇120詞左右的英語短文。

A group of frogs were travailing through the woods. And two of them fell into a deep pit. When the other frogs saw how deep the pit was, they told the two that they were as good as dead. The two frogs didn’t listen and tried to jump out of the pit with all their might. The other frogs kept telling them to stop. Finally, one of the frogs heard what other frogs were saying and gave up, so he died.

The other frog went on jumping as hard as he could. Once again, the other frogs cried at him and told him to stop and just allow himself to die. He jumped even harder and finally made himself out. When he got out, the other frogs said,“ Didn’t you hear us?” the frog explained to them that something was wrong with his hearing. He thought they were encouraging him the whole time.

There is power of life and death in the tongue. An encouraging word to someone who is down can lift him or her up and help them make it through the day. Be careful what you say. Speak life to those who cross your path. The power of words --- anyone can speak bad words that rob another of the spirit to go on in difficult times. But an encouraging word can go such a long time.

【寫作內(nèi)容】 以約150個詞就“ 語言的力量”發(fā)表你的看法和感受，內(nèi)容包括：

1. 語言在生活中的真負面影響；

2. 舉一個發(fā)生在你或你認識的人身上的例子，說明語言的正或負 面的影響。

3.日常生活中我們應(yīng)該如何利用好語言，讓語言產(chǎn)生積極的影響。
