Located in the Andes Mountains, it is the most familiar icon (象征物) of Inca civilization. Spend a few days accustoming yourself to the altitude in the neighboring city of Cusco, where you can experience a mix of Incan and Spanish cultures.Great Barrier ReefIts easy to see why the Great Barrier Reef is one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World it stretches nearly 1,500 miles along the eastern coastline of Australia and features about 3,000 reefs (礁) , 900 islands and more than I,500 species of fish.

But, day after day, her plants were tomato-less while all of her neighbors who had also put out tomato plants were already enjoying the fruit of their labor.Frustrated, Mertie gave in and went to the market to search fresh tomatoes. While paying, Mertie told the farmer her troubles. The farmer paused to think for a moment and then asked, “Well, what kind of tomatoes did you plant?”“I think they were called Big Boy,” Mertie remembered.“Well theres your problem,” the farmer explained. “Big Boy and Better Boy tomatoes have a 95-day growing period whereas regular tomato plants produce fruit in as few as 70 daysyou just have to wait a little longer for the Big Boys.”With that new knowledge, Mertie went home with excitement, knowing they would be worth the wait.Thinking about my sisters gardening experience, I had to smile. She just didnt know that Big Boy tomatoes took longer-neither did I-but once she discovered that information, she was no longer discouraged and upset about the lack of tomatoes on her plants. Instead, she was encouraged and excited to see them a few weeks later.It makes me wonder how many of us have “Big Boy” dreams in our hearts, yet we just dont realize that they are of the “Big Boy” variety so we are discouraged and worn out with the waiting process. Instead of waiting with excitement, we give up on our dreams and figure we must have done something wrong to stop them from ing to pass. Frustrated, we see other peoples dreams ing true, and we wonder why ours havent yet been achieved.24. What is not mentioned in the passage when growing tomato plants?A. Using suitable fertilizer.B. Keeping them well apart.C. Watering them regularly.D. Controlling pests on them.25. Why did Merties tomato plants fail to produce at the expected time?A. Because they were destroyed by her neighbors. B. Because she grew the wrong kind of tomatoes. C. Because she didnt manage the garden well. D. Because they required more time to produce.26. What does the author pare tomatoes to in the text?A. Goals. B. Experiences. C. Time. D. Imagination.27. What does the text intend to show us?A. Its better late than never.B. A bad beginning makes a bad ending.C. Success sometimes needs a little patience. D. A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.COne of the biggest problems when we are talking is the awkward silence. Encountering this situation is so unfortable that you would avoid meeting new people in the first place. In the past, I struggled with this and I even thought it had to do with my DNA or something But later I learned that once you know how to keep those words flowing, you can meet and talk to anyone you like, which helps create great possibilities for friendship, fun and shared activities that you would otherwise have missed out on.After studying this in depth, I had different opinions and found that one of these mon behaviors is the habit of filtering (过滤)-holding back from saying something until youve “checked” to make sure that what youre about to say is cool, impressive and interesting. Another problem is not learning to get in the mood for conversation. If you dont know how to change from subjects, then it can take a lot of time to warm up.It is the reflex (习惯性思维) that allows you to say whatever goes on in your mind. Its fun to realize that youre allowed to say whatever is on your mind. As long as you dont say anything that could land you in jail (监狱).All of the “Oh! Thats interesting” “Hmm, Ive never heard of that” “Hmm, cool!” expressions are reactionary (保守的) bits of conversation that prove to the other person that youre really listening. This works 99% of the time. So, if you show some interest, theyll hang around and want to talk to you even more. Everyone knows that stories juice-up conversations, but most people only talk about stories of their own lives. When someone mentions something related to any of them, just tell the story, even if its not from your life. The more interesting, stranger or more frightening they are, the harder they are to forget.28. If people can deal with the awkward silence, they can .A. train their working skill B. improve their life qualityC. enrich their social life D. establish their working relationship29. When talking with others, we should . A. feel nervous B. think twice C. be free to express D. avoid breaking in30. According to the passage, what do the speakers care much about?A. The attractive topics of conversation. B. The atmosphere of the conversation.C. The listeners experiences and tastes. D. The listeners curiosity and concern.31. What does the underlined part “juice-up conversations” mean?A. making conversations more boring B. making conversations livelier C. making conversations smoother D. making conversations more relaxing DForcing waiters and waitresses to survive on tips from customers rather than normal wages is a pointless, crude, and unique American custom that, in the past several years, a handful of progressive restaurant owners have attempted to do away with. Danny Meyer, CEO of Union Square Hospitality Group, is about to join their ranks and has announced that he plans to gradually stop tipping at the panys 13 restaurants.What, exactly, is wrong with tipping? As Brian Palmer has explained, more or less its everything. To start, leaving a waiters pay in the hands of customers has a feeling of classism (阶级歧视)And in theory, handing restaurant customers the power to tip is at least supposed to motivate better service. This fails in practice because humans turn out to be pretty arbitrary (随意的) about their tipping behavior. Research has shown that the amount diners tip has very little to do with their level of satisfaction. All of this doesnt encourage waiters and waitresses to do anything but turn over as many tables as possible.Tipping is also very unfair to kitchen staff. The law allows restaurants to divide tips between front-of-the-house workers like waiters, hosts, hostesses, and bartenders (调酒师), but not cooks. This creates a system in which the people serving the food in a restaurant can earn more than the people preparing itOne of the most fascinating parts of Meyers move is that, unlike some restaurant owners who have taken an anti-tipping stand, he wont simply add a standard extra charge to diners bills. Rather, Union Square Hospitality Group means to raise menu prices enough to fully cover the cost of a meal. If Meyer manages to move away from tipping at all without hurting his profits, it would almost certainly set the stage for others to follow suit.32. Whats Danny Meyer s attitude towards stopping tipping?A. Negative.B. Supportive.C. Objective.D. Doubtful.33. What can be inferred from Paragraph 2?A. Tipping may disturb the restaurants management.B. Tipping will guarantee diners high quality service.C. Tipping can arouse the staffs enthusiasm for workD. Tipping will bring customers a sense of satisfaction.34. What can we know about Union Square Hospitality group?A. Brian Palmer is in charge of it now.B. Its cooks earn much more than its servers.C. Restaurant tipping has been totally banned there.D. Diners will be charged more for the dishes there.35. What is the topic of the passage?A. Restaurants getting rid of tipping.B. Difficulties that restaurants are faced with.C. The popularity of no-tipping restaurants.D. Tips on running restaurants successfully.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。Have you ever wondered why people drive on a different side of the road? It might seem strange that U. K. drivers stay on the left, but theyre not the only ones. 36. Originally, almost everybody traveled on the left side of the road. However, their way of transport was quite different from today: 37. For medieval swordsmen on horseback, it made sense to keep to the left to have their right arms closer to their enemies. Getting on or off was also easier from the left side of the horse, and safer done by the side of the road than in the center. 38. Things changed in the late 1700s when large wagons pulled by several pairs of horses were used to transport farm products in France and the United States. In the absence of a drivers seat inside the wagon, the driver sat behind the left horse, with his right arm free to use his whip to keep the horses moving. Since he was sitting on the left, he wanted other wagons to pass on his left. 39. The British Government refused to give up their left-hand driving ways, and in 1773 introduced the General Highways Act, which encouraged driving on the left.When Henry Ford unveiled (为揭幕) his Model T in 1908, the drivers seat was on the left, meaning that cars would have to drive on the right hand side of the road to allow front and back passengers to exit the car onto the roadside. 40. And this is highly unlikely to change.A. Think four legs instead of four wheels.B. Do people get used to driving on the right?C. However, British drivers remain on the left.D. So why did people stop traveling on the left?E. Therefore, he kept to the right side of the road. F. Around 35 percent of the world people do the same.G. This was later made law thanks to The Highway Act of 1835.第三部分 英语知识运用（共2节，满分45分）第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项填入空白处。A famous writer was in his study room.
