Today, we are going to explore some of this years top 10 beaches in the world.1.Baia do Sancho, BrazilIt is named as this years best beach in the world. Its water is calm and clear. Its sand is fine and soft. But getting to Baia do Sancho is not so easy. It is on Fernando de Noronha, a volcanic island more than 300 kilometers off Brazils coast. Travelers must take a plane or boat from major cities in northern Brazil to get there. And no more than 420 visitors can be on the island at one time.2.Grace Bay,Turks and CaicosWhile Baia do Sancho is difficul to get to, Trip Advisors second-ranked beach could not be much easier for tourists to reach.This beach has impossibly clean and clear waters and pure white sand. Its calm waters make it extremely safe for swimming, snorkeling, or simply floating. Once on land, many visitors enjoy walking-barefoot-for several kilometers on the soft, warm sand.3.Eagle Beach, ArubaTo get to the third-best beach, we head south to the Dutch Caribbean island of Aruba. Like Grace Bay, Eagle Reach has clear, calm waters and soft white sand.It offers visitors a chance to try different water sports, including tubing and jet skiing. Eagle Beach may be best known, however, for its dramatic sunsets. On clear nights, the sky turns red, orange, and purple.4.Playa Paraiso, CubaThe fourth-best beach is Playa Paraiso, an island off of Cubas southern coast. It has a fun, laid-back restaurant for those who wish to eat and drink. There is little else on the beach. And that is exactly what visitors like about it. People e here for the sugar-like sand and calm waters filled with colorful wildlife.21.Which of the following best describes Baia do Sancho?A.It receives many visitors daily. B.It can only be visited by plane.C.It is near the Brazils coast. D.It is hard to reach.22. What may Grace Bay,Turks and Caicos attract tourists? A. Its clean and safe waters.B.Its quiet bank for hiking. C.Its dangerous position. D.Its colourful sand.23.What can visitors mainly find on Playa Paraiso,Cuba?A.Colourful waters. B.A fun eating place. C.Different water sports.D.Nothing on the beach. B Universities and colleges in the United States are trying new programs for international students to increase enrollment（入学） and ine. Some universities are experimenting with bringing international high school students to their campuses. These programs permit students to plete their high school diploma while earning college credit at the same time.One example of this model is at the University of Southern Maine, or USM. The program is called the International Academy. The school is expecting its first class of international high school students this fall. Joanna Evans is the director for the academy. The program is officially a boarding school on a university campus that serves 11th and 12th grade international high school students only.The students will take classes at the University of Southern Maine to plete their high school diploma. However, because the classes are university-level, the students will receive college credit at the same time.According to Evans, the students they recruit will have to be very strong. Their course schedule will be the same as taking only advanced placement courses. The goal is that, by the time they plete their high school diploma at the academy, they will be ready to start college as a third-year college student.Their English language skills also must be strong. The Academy looks for students with a minimum Test of English as a Foreign Language, or TOEFL score of 79, or a 6.5 on the International English Testing System, or IELTS. However, there are classes available to provide additional English language training when the students, arrive if they need it.All ining students at the academy are required to take a college writing class in their first term. If English is not their first language, they will take a class taught by teachers with a background in teaching students who speak English as a foreign language.Although they are only high school students, the expectations are the same as college students. Students need to be ready to take university classes, and that is the deal Evans said.24.How does the new program International Academy benefit students?A.Shortening their time at school. B.Offering free education.C.Supplying free room and board. D.Giving up courses in high school.25.Which of the following can replace the underlined word recruit in Paragraph 4?A.refuse B.train C.value D.admit26.Which of the following is an entrance requirement of the students?A.Being very creative. B.High English level. C.High intelligence. D.Wealthy background.27.What are the students of the new program expected to do?A.Have a high level of writing.B.Build up strong enough bodies. C.Achieve what college students do.D.Progress with help of experienced teachers. CWhile the U.S. is still debating about getting rid of the penny, Sweden is rapidly moving towards abolishing (废除) currency altogether. Though this may sound radical (过激的), it is a natural evolution in this digital society.Sweden, which was the first European country to introduce banknotes in 1661, has just been working harder to convince its residents that digital payments are a safer alternative（选择） to carrying cash.Over the years, the idea has gained popularity with residents, especially the younger generation that is much more fortable with technology. Today many banks dont even have ATMs and some have stopped handling cash altogether!Tickets to ride public buses in most Swedish cities can only be bought via（通过） cell phones. Numerous businesses are also moving towards accepting only digital payments. Even the homeless that sell street paper to make ends meet have to start accepting this mode of payment!But despite its growing popularity, some people dont like this radical idea. They include the homeless, elderly people as well as those living in rural areas who are still unfortable with mobile phones and puters. But the officials are confident that in the very near future, they will be able to convince everyone to use this safe and more cost-effective payment system.Sweden is not the only country trying to abolish paper currency and coins. The movement is rapidly gaining ground in Denmark and Finland as well. In xx，Israel announced a three-step plan to go cashless and just last week the vendors (小贩) of a popular street in Sydney declared they would stop accepting currency from customers. Whether this phenomenon（现象） spreads remains to be seen. But one thing is for sureWith increasingly advanced payment systems being introduced every day, pulling out cash is rapidly being “uncool”.28. What can we infer from Paragraph 3 and 4?A. Many banks in Sweden dont have ATMs.B. You dont have to buy tickets when riding buses.C. People dont give the homeless money but food.D. People can just take cell phones when shopping.29. According to the passage, which information is RIGHT?A. Sweden was the first country to get the idea to abolish currency.B. The younger generation is against the measures.C. Bus fare can only be purchased via cell phones in most Swedish cities.D. Banks in Sweden have stopped dealing with cash pletely.30. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. An Advanced Country -SwedenB. A Controversial Government PolicyC. Sweden to Influence the Worlds Cash PaymentD. Sweden to Bee the Worlds First Cashless Society31. Which of the following does this passage belong to?A. Education. B. Economy（经济）.C. Travel. D. Insurance.DA new concept vehicle, Pod was introduced by Toyota and Sony at the Tokyo motor show. The car is intended as a four-wheeled friend. It aims to provide affection, sympathy and encouragement. Like a dog weling its master, the car sits up, wags its tail and acknowledges its owners presence using hydraulics(液压装置) and a multi-colored LED display panel(引擎) across the front.While on the road, the car constantly monitors the drivers mood（情绪） with pulse and sweat sensors on the joystick(操纵杆). Cameras focused on the eyes keep watch for any sign of drowsiness. If a driver appears to be losing his or her cool, Pod will display warnings, play soft music and blow cold air at the face. Drivers are shaken awake with loud music and a shaking chair.To improve driving skills, pod pares acceleration, braking and steering with the best performance recorded by professionals. It uses this parison to score drivers, offer advice and rank all Pod owners. Toyota claims that the car will eventually be able to learn its owners likes and dislikes by monitoring passenger conversations. If the car hears a favorite song being discussed, it will download the track from the Internet and play it without being asked. It will also remend restaurants that might suit the drivers taste and take photographs of passengers when they sound particularly happy.In keep with the moodiness that is the cars main selling point, Pod expresses a form of road anger. If a driver brakes or swerves(转向) suddenly, the LED panel shows an angry red and the tail rises at the back.Anger is one of the cars ten “emotional states”. Another is sadness - a blue front with tear-shaped lights seemingly dropping from headlights - which appears after a flat tire（轮胎） or when gas is low.“We wanted to show that the cars can be cheerful and entertaining,” said Yasunori Sakamoto, part of the Toyota design team. Mr Sakamoto said Toyota has no plans to put Pod on the market. Sad, really.32. The underlined word “drowsiness” in Paragraph 2 means _.A. fear B. boredom C. excitement D. sleepiness33. According to the text, Pod can _.A. rank the restaurant nearbyB. test the drivers driving skillsC. have a conversation with driversD. remend a song to passengers 34. If the new concept vehicle is running out of gas, _.A. the Led panel turns red B. the tail rises at the back of the carC. the front light turn blue and look like tearsD. the car stops and shake with loud music35. What is the authors attitude towards Pod?A. Supportive. B. Doubtful. C. Pessimistic（悲观的）. D. Tolerant（容忍的）.第二节 七选五 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。若选E,涂AB；若选F，涂AC；若选G，涂AD。If anyone had told me three years ago that I would be spending most of my weekends camping.

This brief visit with Mother Nature cost me two days off from work, recovering from a bad case of sunburn and the doctors bill for my sons food poisoning.I was, nevertheless（尽管如此）, talked into going on another fun-filled holiday in the wilderness. 38 Instead, we had a pop-up camper with fortable beds and an air conditioner. My nature-loving friends had remembered to bring all the necessities of life. 39 We have done a lot of it since. Recently, we bought a twenty-eight-foot travel trailer（拖车） plete with a bathroom and a built-in TV set. There is a separate bedroom, a modern kitchen with a refrigerator. The trailer even has matching carpet and curtains. 40 It must be true that sooner or later, everyone finds his or her way back to nature.
