Go Glamping in MontanaThe Resort at Paws Up located on a cattle ranch(牧场) is a standout in the type.

The Spanish were after the riches of Asia: silk, dates, spices. Until later adventurers discovered how to sail to the Far East, trade with China depended on the Silk Road. The trade between China and Europe brought huge wealth, so the Spanish had a strong desire to find a new way to the East. Eventually a way appeared; as sea traffic developed from the 17th Century onwards, the overland route diminished. Now China is seeking to revive(复兴)the Silk Road and is preparing to invest 4 trillion pounds in new roads, rail links, oil pipelines and other basic facilities. It is hoped that goods can be shipped westwards by land far more quickly and economically than by sea. But the plan is also to attract more tourists. Actually, China does pretty well for tourists already; its the worlds fourth most visited country. Two cities Beijing and Shanghaipossess the tourism business, with significant interest in destinations such as Xian and Chengdu. While Beijing is modern, cities such as Lanzhou and Dunhuang have one foot planted firmly in old China. Other places featured include Xian, the former capital of China, where you can e face to face with the Terracotta Army built to protect Chinas first emperor in the afterlife. From Lanzhou tour members take the train to Jiayuguan, Chinas western gateway and a key location on the Silk Road. There is also a fourday coach journey along the original Silk Route through the Xinjiang region to Kashgar. Along the way, at Kurla, you can visit the ruins of the Iron Fortress.【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文。在古代，丝绸之路促进了东西方商品和文化的交流，后来没落了。但是最近几年，中国复兴丝绸之路的计划使它又焕发了活力、魅力。【长难句分析】Other places featured include Xian, the former capital of China, where you can e face to face with the Terracotta Army built to protect Chinas first emperor in the afterlife.(倒数第二段第一句)分析：本句是复合句。where引导非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词Xian。译文：其他比较重要的旅游地还包括西安，它曾是中国古代的都城，在那里可以看到为保护去世的中国第一个皇帝而建的兵马俑。4What does the underlined word “diminished” in Paragraph 2 mean?ADiscovered. BDisappeared.CDisturbed. DDisplayed. 5What is the purpose of reviving the Silk Road?ATo rebuild the ruins of the Iron Fortress.BTo construct new roads and other basic structures.CTo make transportation westwards faster and cheaper.DTo draw more inland tourists attention to the western gateway.答案与解析：C 考查细节理解。It is hoped that goods can be shipped westwards by land far more quickly and economically than by sea.(第三段第二句)译文：中国希望通过陆地比通过海洋能够更快、更经济地将商品运送至西方。该题提问的是复兴丝绸之路的目的是什么。根据关键句可知，这是为了更快、更便宜地将商品输送至西方。故选C。6What can we learn about the Silk Road?AIt is nothing but a trade route.BIt may destroy some cities ancient style.CIt attracts foreign investment of 4 trillion. DIt promotes the tourism industry of China.答案与解析：D 考查细节理解。But the plan is also to attract more tourists.(第四段第一句)译文：但是，该计划也是为了吸引更多的游客。该题提问的是关于丝绸之路我们可以了解到什么信息。根据关键句可知，复兴丝绸之路也是为了吸引更多的游客，促进中国旅游业的发展。故选D。7What is the best title for the text?AThe charming of the Silk RoadBThe function of the Silk RoadCThe origin of the Silk RoadDThe future of the Silk Road 阅读理解C阅读下面的短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中选出最佳选项。Grandparents Answer a CallAs a thirdgeneration native of Brownsville, Texas，Mildred Garza never planned to move away.Even when her daughter and son asked her to move to San Antonio to help with their children, she politely refused.Only after a year of friendly discussion did Ms.Garza finally say yes.That was four years ago.Today all three generations regard the move as a success, giving them a closer relationship than they would have had in separate cities.No statistics show the number of grandparents like Garza who are moving closer to adult children and grandchildren.Yet there is evidence suggesting that the trend is growing.Even President Obamas motherinlaw, Marian Robinson，has agreed to leave Chicago and move into the White House to help care for her granddaughters.According to a study by grandparents.，83 percent of the people said Mrs.Robinsons decision will influence grandparents in the American family.Twothirds believe more families will follow the example of Obamas family.“In the 1960s we were all a little wild and couldnt get away from home far enough or fast enough to prove we could do it on our own，”says Christine Crosby, publisher of Grand, a magazine for grandparents.“We now realize how important family is and how important it is to be near them, especially when youre raising children.”Moving is not for everyone.Almost every grandparent wants to be with his or her grandchildren and is willing to make sacrifices, but sometimes it is wiser to say no and visit frequently instead.Having your grandchildren far away is hard, especially knowing your adult child is struggling，but giving up the life you know may be harder.语篇解读：本文是一篇议论文。主要论述了祖父母接到后代与他们同住的邀请后该如何做出选择。1Why was Garzas move a success?AIt strengthened her family ties.BIt improved her living conditions.CIt enabled her to make more friends.DIt helped her know more new places.解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中的.giving them a closer relationship.可知，Garza搬去和晚辈同住后，他们的关系更亲密了，这与A项的表述“这加强了她的家庭关系”相吻合，故选A项。B、C、D三项表述的内容在文中未提及。答案：A 2What was the reaction of the public to Mrs.Robinsons decision?A17% expressed their support for it.BFew people responded sympathetically.C83% believed it had a bad influence.DThe majority thought it was a trend. 答案：D3What did Crosby say about people in the 1960s?AThey were unsure of themselves.BThey were eager to raise more children.CThey wanted to live away from their parents.DThey had little respect for their grandparents.解析：细节理解题。根据第三段的第一句In the 1960s we were all a little wild and couldnt get away from home far enough or fast enough to prove we could do it on our own.可知，在20世纪60年代，人们都有点儿狂野，急于“远走高飞”来证明自己的能力，这与C项的表述“他们想远离父母生活”相吻合，故选C项。A、B、D三项表述的内容在文中未提及。答案：C4What does the author suggest the grandparents do in the last paragraph?AMake decisions in the best interests of their own.BAsk their children to pay more visits to them.CSacrifice for their struggling children.DGet to know themselves better.解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段中的Moving is not for everyone.以及it is wiser to say no and visit frequently可知，作者建议老年人从自己的利益出发，做出选择，A项的表述与此相吻合。根据visit frequently可知，文中指的是祖父母常去看看晚辈，而不是B项的“让他们的孩子多多探望他们”，故B项表述有误；文中虽然有is willing to make sacrifices和your adult child is struggling，但并不是要让祖父母为晚辈做出牺牲，故C项错误；D项在文中未提及。答案：A第二节 完形填空A阅读下面的短文，掌握其大意，然后从120题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项。Where do you go when you want to learn something？School？A friend？A tutor？These are all _1_ places of
