Its an added bonus when the destination happens to be home to several cultures, thanks to its diverse population.TorontoToronto happens to be one of the most diverse in the world. In fact, nearly half of Torontos residents were born in another country. This cultural mix is most apparent in the citys munity pockets, including Chinatown, Greektown, Little Italy etc. And although English is most widely spoken here, the streets are constantly filled with over 140 different languages.Los AngelesLos Angeles is known and loved for its varied landscape, which offers opportunities to swim at the beach, hike in the park and explore a lively city all on the same day. That diversity also extends to its population-people from approximately 140 countries, speaking 86 different languages call the City of Angeles home where visitors can get a taste of multicultural mix.SydneyEnglish-speaking visitors to Sydney wont have any trouble buying their tickets to the Opera House or ordering up some Aussie barbecue, as its the main language used here. That said, its not the only language you may overhear. Approximately 250 different dialects are spoken in this Australian city. This makes sense, given that 40 percent of the population were born overseas.SingaporeSingapore might be small, but it packs in a lot of diversity. The Southeast Asian destination has four official languages-English, Malay, Mandarin and Tamil-and approximately 40 percent of its population were born abroad.21. Where can people enjoy fascinating scenery? A. In Singapore. B. In Toronto. C. In Sydney. D. In Los Angeles.22. What do these four cities have in mon?A. People speak other languages besides English.B. Travelers can kill time on the beach.C. The majority of residents are Chinese.D. More than half of the population were born overseas.23. The text is probably helpful for those who are interested in _.A. language teaching B. reading and writingC. touring and culture D. cooking and swimming Some people think that success is only for those with talent or those who grow up in the right family, and others believe that success mostly es down to luck. Im not going to say luck, talent, and circumstances dont e into play because they do. Some people are born into the right family while others are born with great intelligence, and thats just the reality of how life is.However, to succeed in life, one first needs to set a goal and then gradually make it more practical. And, in addition tothat, in order to get really good at something, one needs to spend at least 10,000 hours studying and practicing. To bee great at certain things, itll require even more time, time that most people wont put in.This is a big reason why many successful people advise you to do something you love. If you dont enjoy what you do ,it is going to feel like unbearable pain and will likely make you quit well before you ever bee good at it.When you see people exhibiting some great skills or having achieved great success,you know that they have put in a huge part of their life to get there at a huge cost.Its sometimes easy to think they got lucky or they were born with some rare talent,but thinking that way does you no good,and theres a huge chance that youre wrong anyway.Whatever you do,if you want to bee great at it, you need to work day in and day out,almost to the point of addiction,and over a long period of time.If youre not willing to put in the time and work,dont expect to receive any rewards.Consistent, hard work wont guarantee you the level of success you may want, but it will guarantee that you will bee really good at whatever it is you put all that work into.24. Paragraph 1 mainly talks about _.Athe reasons for success Bthe meaning of successCthe standards of success Dthe importance of success25. In Paragraph 2,the underlined word that refers to _.Abeing good at something Bsetting a practical goalCputting in more time Dsucceeding in life26. Successful people suggest doing what one loves because _.Awork makes one feel pain Bone tends to enjoy his workCone gives up his work easily Dit takes a lot of time to succeed27. What can we infer from Paragraph 4?ASuccessful people like to show their great skills.BPeople sometimes succeed without luck or talent.CPeople need to achieve success at the cost of life.DIt helps to think that luck or talent leads to success.28. What is the main theme of the passage?AHaving a goal is vital to success.BBeing good is different from being great.COne cannot succeed without time and practice.DLuck,talent and family help to achieve successC The human brain remembers negative experiences more easily than positive ones.Our brains have developed in this way because threats,like dangerous animals,have a more immediate effect on peoples survival pared to positive things like food or shelter.As a result,you clearly know what makes you unhappy,but do you know what makes you happy?Research suggests that our level of happiness is partly shaped by the choices we make.If youve been chasing wealth,fame,power and some material things,you may be looking for happiness in the wrong places.Psychologists suggest that the following habits can make people happier.People who own close relationships tend to be happier than those who do not.The number of our friends is not important.What matters is the quality of our relationships.Relationships that bring happiness usually consist of the sharing of feelings,acceptance,mutual respect and trust.People who exercise on a regular basis can improve both their physical and mental well-being.Some research has shown that exercise can be as effective as some medicine in treating depression.If we are so interested in an activity,we may lose track of time,and we can be in a state of flow.The activity could be playing the piano,surfing the Internet or playing a game.People who experience flow in their work or life tend to be happier.People are more likely to be happy if they know what their strengths are and can use them regularly.People are especially happy when they can set goals and use their strengths to achieve them.People,who think positively by being grateful,mindful and optimistic,are more likely to be happy.Being grateful means being thankful.Being mindful means considering,focusing on,and enjoying the experiences of the present moment.Being optimistic means being hopeful about the future.29.Human brain remembers negative things more easily because.A.negative things tend to affect human survival immediatelyB.negative things are easy to rememberC.negative things are much more important than other thingsD.negative things can make people live much longer30.People may find happiness in all the following EXCEPT.A.making friendsB.doing sportsC.playing the violinD.chasing power31.In the last paragraph,the author tries to tell us to.A.think more about the futureB.be positive in our life and workC.enjoy our life and workD.live a happy life every day32.What does this text mainly tell us about?A.Why people remember positive things easily.B.Why people remember negative things easily.C.Some habits that make people happy.D.The habits that people form in their life.DBefore the invention of hair dryer,vacuum cleaners were being used for the purpose of drying and styling hair. The early vacuum cleaners could draw in air as well as blowing air.So,towards the end of the 19thcentury,women used to dry their hair by using a vacuum（真空） cleaner.In 1890,a French salon owner Alexander invented the first hair dryer.It blew warm air.However,it was not widely used,mainly because of its large size.The first convenient hand-held hair dryer used at home came up in 1920.It weighed over 2 lbs.However,it only produced 100 watts of power,which was not enough to dry the hair.After almost ten years came the gas-heated dryers that were widely used in barber shops.However,these dryers produced heat that was harmful to hair and the air from them made people sick,so they were soon gone.Around the 1940s and 1950s,the helmet（头盔）style electric dryers came into being.Curly hairstyles were popular during that time.Therefore,women used curlers and sat under the dryers to set their curls.Later,the curly style began to drop,and so did the popularity of the helmet style electric dryer.In the late 1950s,the first workable hair dryer was made.It had a hand-held dryer.It used only 300-400 watts. Ever since the 1950s,hand-held dryers have experienced many changes,in order to bee quieter,lighter and smaller.However,how it works largely remains the same.The modem technology has made improvements to the hair dryer,reducing the heat damage to a persons hair.For producing shinier,smoother and healthier hair,dryers have been included with negative ion（负离子）technology that dries hair faster and with less heat.33. What do we learn about the hair dryer invented by Alexander?A.It looked like a vacuum cleaner. B.It was once very popular.C.It was inconvenient to use. D.It blew too hot air. 34. What was the disadvantage of the hair dryer invented in 1920? A.It needed too much power. B.It couldnt be held by hand.C.It was not easy to be carried around. D.It couldnt dry hair effectively. 35.What was the main purpose of including negative ion in dryers? A.To reduce the sizes of hair dryers. B.To make hair dryers more beautiful.C.To produce better hair in a beautiful way. D.To save more power and time for users.第二节 （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。 The most successful people all have certain habits in their daily routines._36_ Forming a new good habit can be a struggle, but it is well worth the effort.
