Well, the world is always bigger than our wallets. One of the simplest options is to find a place that has a lot to offer but hasnt yet been hit by the price inflation that es with mass popularity. To help travelers in search of value, weve assembled, with the help of professionals from USA Today, CNN and Lonely Planet, a list of destinations that are worth going to while theyre still cheap.UkraineIts name translates as “land on the edge”， and this year Ukraine may be on the edge of discovery for budget travelers in search of rich history. Visitors can enjoy its cultural wealth, the warmth of its people and the fact that their daily spending is below 50 (307 yuan)The countrys UNESCO World Heritage Sites are cooperating with locals to offer special deals, such as a traditional meal for just a few dollars. Its the kind of travel experience you will recall once the moment has passed, so now is the time to build those memories.South KoreaSouth Korea is a visitorfriendly country. Not only can budget travelers find the basics from hotel rooms to great meals at reasonable prices, but the country also has a ton of free parks, discounts and other free services, especially for visitors. For instance, until August 25, a free shuttle bus transports foreign visitors between the capital city of Seoul and Jeonju, a popular tourist destination. A free phone service offers tourists multilingual assistance 24 hours a day.TurkeyTurkey is on the rise, so to get the best of the new at the price of the old, go now. In the last decade, the countrys tourism facilities have grown by 67 percent, according to USA Today, and more recently it has emerged as a global airline hub. This country of ancient ruins, historic towns and beckoning beaches is a destination to watch this summer.EgyptPopular resort areas in Egypt, like Sharm El Sheikh, are as relaxing as they ever were and also less stressful for your wallet. “The overall sentiment is that resort areas like Sharm El Sheikh are very safe，” said Tony Cardoza, president of a US travel agency, in an interview with CNN. “But most vacationers appear to prefer traveling to places that havent seen as much civil unrest.” That preference has made Egypt a buyers market. Low demand also has another benefit: smaller crowds. “Clients going now have been able to get pictures of themselves in front of the pyramids with no other tourists blocking the view，” Cardoza said.21What can South Korea especially provide for the tourists?ARich history.BFree services.CAncient ruins. DFree hotels.解析：选B细节理解题。根据South Korea部分的“but the country also has a ton of free parks, discounts and other free services, especially for visitors”可知，韩国为游客提供很多免费的服务。22If you are interested in history, you can go to _.AUkraine & EgyptBUkraine & South KoreaCSouth Korea & EgyptDTurkey & Ukraine解析：选D细节理解题。根据Ukraine部分第一句中的“for budget travelers in search of rich history”和Turkey部分的最后一句“This country of ancient ruins, historic towns and beckoning beaches is a destination to watch this summer”可知，如果对历史感兴趣，你可以去这两个国家。23What is the advantage of Egypt, pared to other three countries?ALower price. BMuch safer.CFewer tourists. DLess stressful.解析：选C推理判断题。根据Egypt部分的最后两句“Low demand also has another benefit: smaller crowds. Clients going now have been able to get pictures of themselves in front of the pyramids with no other tourists blocking the view， Cardoza said”可知，现在去参观金字塔的人很少，所以游客拍照时不会把其他人拍进来。B(xx河北省衡水中学模拟)Whats the most important thing in life?Peoples answers vary greatly. For British scientist Robert Edwards，the answer is having a child.“Nothing is more special than a child，” he told the BBC.Edwards, the inventor of the In Vitro Fertilization (IVF)technology more monly known as “testtube (试管) baby”technology passed away on April 10,xx at the age of 87.“Edwards changed the lives of millions of ordinary people who now rejoice (高兴) in the gift of their own child，” said Peter Braude, a professor at Kings College London.“He leaves the world a much better place.”Edwards started his experiments as early as the 1950s，when he had just finished his PhD in genetics.At that time，much of the public viewed testtube babies as “scary”， according to Mark Sauer, a professor at Columbia University, US.Edwards and his colleague Patrick Steptoe faced opposition from churches, governments and media, not to mention attacks from many of their fellow scientists.“People said that we should not play God and we should not interfere with nature，” Edwards once told Times. He said that he felt “quite alone” at the time.“But Edwards was a fighter, and he believed in what he was doing，” said Sauer. Without support from the government，the two struggled to raise funds to carry on.And in 1968 they finally developed a method to successfully fertilize human eggs outside the body.The first testtube baby was born on July 25,1978.Her name was Louise Brown.Despite peoples safety concerns，Brown was just as healthy as other children.“IVF had moved from vision to reality and a new era in medicine had begun，” BBC mented.Ever since then, public opinion has evolved considerably.Couples who were unable to have babies began thronging (涌向) to Edwards clinic.Nowadays, Reuters reports, some 4.3 million other “testtube”children exist. Edwards received a Nobel Prize in xx and was knighted (封为爵士) by Queen Elizabeth the following year.Before his death, Edwards was still in touch with Louise.“He is like a granddad to me，” she said in an interview with the Daily Mail.He is a granddad to millions, in fact.24Whats the article mainly about?AThe first testtube baby.BA new era in medicine.CThe inventor of IVF technology.DThe changes IVF technology has brought.解析：选C主旨大意题。根据第三段“Edwards，the inventor of the In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) technology more monly known as testtube (试管) baby technology passed away on April 10, xx at the age of 87.”及下文内容可知文章主要讲的是IVF技术的发明者。故选C。25The writer quoted Peter Braude to _.Ashow how difficult it was for Edwards to do his workBdescribe what kind of person Edwards was Cexplain why he is loved by all childrenDment on his achievement解析：选D推理判断题。根据文章第四段 Peter Braude 所说的话“Edwards changed the lives of millions of ordinary people who now rejoice (高兴) in the gift of their own child，”“He leaves the world a much better place.”Edwards改变了数百万普通人的生活，这些人因拥有了自己的孩子而高兴不已，他让这个世界更美好。根据句意可知引用的话是对Edwards成就的高度评价。故选D。26The underlined word “opposition” in Paragraph 6 is closest in meaning to “_”Aattack BsupportCtest Dinfluence解析：选A词义猜测题。根据第六段第一句“Edwards and his colleague Patrick Steptoe faced opposition from churches, governments and media，not to mention attacks from many of their fellow scientists.”以及下文提到了同事的攻击(attacks)，说明opposition的意思和“攻击”(attack)是相似的。故选A。27What is the correct order of events in Edwards life?aHe received a Nobel Prize.bHe struggled to raise funds.cThe first testtube baby was born.dHe was knighted by Queen Elizabeth .eHe succeeded in fertilizing human eggs outside body.fHe started his experiments on IVF technology.Afebcad BfbecdaCfbecad Dfedacb解析：选C细节理解题。根据短文的时间线索可知先是f开始实验，然后b筹集资金，然后e成功，然后c第一个试管婴儿出现，然后a得到诺贝尔奖，最后d受嘉奖，故选C。CEnglish songs have been very popular for people around the world for many decades.Singers，from Elvis Presley to Ricky Martin，from the Beatles to Eminen and from Natalie Cole to Britney Spears，have all been sitting in everyones heart, even for people who dont speak English.But will you have better English skills if you listen to English songs for a long time?From my experiences, some people listen to English songs for 2030 years but still havent acplished any good English skills.Some people choose English songs to be the “main learning approach”， but most of them have failed.Listening to English songs does not help you to speak English fluently.It does help you gain some vocabularies.Most of them are unusual ones that you dont use in your everyday life.You wont learn the sentence“It is a plicate project.We really need to meet the deadline.”in any English songs.People like using English songs to practice English skills because its easy and enjoyable.They think that sitting in the car listening to English songs day by day can improve their English skills.It is not that actually.You will not improve your listening skills because normal people dont speak with melody (乐调). People dont talk like Eminens songs (well, actually, some teenagers do)You cant get yourself familiar with English pronunciation or accent just from listening to English songs.The words that they pronounce in the songs are not the words that you will hear in your everyday life.It often even confuses you more how English is pronounced.I would fully encourage you to watch English movies, listen to radio news or other normal talks, but not music. Of course, you can consume it for fun but not the aim to improve your English skills.语篇解读：本文是议论文。作者认为“通过听英语歌曲来提高英语技能”这一做法是不可行的。文中阐述了具体原因，并给出了建议看电影或听新闻广播会帮助提高英语技能。28Whats the text mainly about?AHow English songs help people practice English skills.BWho has made English songs popular all over the world.CWhy people wont improve their English by listening to English songs.DWhere people can find good English songs to practice their English skills.解析：选C主旨大意题。通过对全文的理解可知，作者认为“通过听英语歌曲来提高英语技能”的做法是不可行的，文中具体论述了这个做法不可行的原因。故选C。29English songs are helpful for English learners if they want to _.Aspeak English fluentlyBenlarge their vocabulariesCimprove their listening skillsDlearn to express themselves in daily life解析：选B细节理解题。根据第三段第一、二句可知，听英语歌曲不会帮助你流利地说英语，但是它确实可以帮助你增加词汇量。故选B。30Which of the following wont probably appear in English songs?ACountry road, take me home.BEvery night I see you, I feel you.CIts not a big big thing if you leave me.DWe need to meet the deadline though its tough.解析：选D细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句可知，你不会在任何英语歌曲中学习到类似“这是一个复杂的项目。我们真的需要在最后期限之前完成。”这样的句子。故选D。31We can learn from the text that _.Aworldfamous singers have done a lot to help people learn EnglishBwatching English movies or listening to radio news can be a great helpCEnglish songs get people familiar with English pronunciation or accentDmost people who enjoy English songs in their car speak English very well解析：选B推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句可知，作者十分鼓励人们通过看英语电影、听广播新闻或其他正常的对话来练习英语口语而不是听音乐。故选B。DWhen it came to role models, Diana Ortiz said her mother, Marcia Dominguez, was the “hero”. Ms. Dominguez came to the United States from Cuba in 1979. She went to college and got a job as a social worker all the while raising three children in America mostly on her own.“It was always school first，” Diana said, “My mom had us in a straight line. If we got out of line, she corrected us. She was a perfect woman. She was beautiful. She had the education and she had everything but the illness took over. When I was 11, it frightened me to see how quickly my mothers health was ruined by cancer. A week before I turned 14, my mother died at age 50. I had tried to prepare myself, but on the first morning I woke up without my mother, the sense of loss was painful.”Diana had not seen her father for five years, who refused to provide for her. Diana then entered the citys foster care system. She has spent about four years in foster homes.Despite Dianas hard teenage years, the values her mother had planted in her mind inspired her to go after higher education. Since August xx, she has been a fulltime student majoring in law. A public organization offers her tuition but she has parttime jobs to help people like her and earn more life experience. Her goal is a job in the Federal Bureau of Investigation.For now, Diana works 20 hours a week as a cashier at Marshalls, earning 7.25 an hour. In November, she moved into her own public housing studio apartment on the Lower East Side. She pays 236 a month in rent. Although she is out of foster care, Diana has been speaking at workshops for foster youths. She emphasizes that nothing should get in the way of their success, not the trials of their lives or what they may have lost.“I tell the young who have the similar experience like me, Why are you going to let what happened to you affect you in the long run？”Diana said，“Why are you going to sit there and feel sorry for yourself? Youre wasting precious time. It is a message my mother would approve of. My mom taught me that everything is not given to you. You have to go out and get it.”语篇解读：本文是记叙文。讲述了Diana的母亲独自一人在美国将三个孩子抚养长大，在Diana 14岁时，她的母亲因患癌症而去世。在母亲的教育具有重要性的价值观的影响下，Diana决心通过自己的努力考入大学接受高等教育。32Which of the following words can be used to describe Ms. Dominguez?ALearned, independent and strict.BPositive, simple and graceful.CHardworking, dependent and tough.DKind, determined and lonely.解析：选A细节理解题。根据第一段“She went to college and got a job as a social worker all the while raising three children in America mostly on her own.”和第二段“My mom had us in a straight line.
