    　　Tourism probably started in Roman times．Rich Romans visited friends and family who were working in another part of the Roman empire．But when the empire broke down, this kind of tourism stopped．

    　I　n the early 17th century, the idea of the “Grand Tour” was born．Rich young English people sailed across the English Channel(英吉利海峡)．They visited the most beautiful and important European cities of the time, including Paris in France, and Rome and Venice(威尼斯)in Italy．Their tours lasted for two to four years, and the tourists stayed a few weeks or months in each city．The “Grand Tour” was an important part of young people’s education－but only for the rich．

    　　In the 18th century, tourism began to change．For example, people in the UK started to visit some towns, such as Bath to “take the waters”．They believed that the water there was good for their health．So large and expensive hotels were built in these towns．

    　　In the 19th century, travel became much more popular and faster．When the first railways were built in the 1820s, it was easier for people to travel between towns, so they started to go for holidays by the sea．And some started to have holidays in the countryside as cities became larger, noisier and dirtier．

    　　Traveling by sea also became faster and safer when the first steamships were built．People began to travel more to far away countries．

    　　The 20th century saw cars become more and more popular among ordinary people．Planes were made larger, so ticket prices dropped and more people used them．

    　　Thus tourism grew．In 1949, Russian journalist Vladimir Raitz started a company called Horizon Holidays．The company organizes everything－plane tickets, hotel rooms, even food－and tourists pay for it all before they leave home．The package tour and modern tourist industry was born．

    　　The first travel agency in China was set up as early as 1949．But tourism did not take off until 1978．In 2002, the industry was worth 500 billion yuan and became an important part of China’s social development．

    I felt encouraged by his words and began to swim more calmly.But my clothes stuck to me like a heavy weight.I could hardly stay above the surface.

    Counsel saw this.“Shall I cut them?”he asked.

    With a knife he cut my clothes from top to bottom and took them of quickly while I swam for both of us.

    Then I did the same for Counsel,and we continued to swim near each other.

     But we were in serious trouble.The crew（船员）might not have noticed our disappearance.

    And if they had,they could not return because the rudder（舵）had broken.Counsel thought of all this,and calmly made his plans.We decided to wait for the ship as long as possible,because we had no other hope of safety.I suggested that we save our strength so that both of us would not be tired out at the same time.This was how we did it:While one of us lay on his back,quite still,with arms crossed and legs stretched out（伸直）,the other would swim and push him along.We changed every ten minutes or so.In this way we could swim for hours,perhaps till daylight.The crash（破裂声）of the ship and the whale（鲸）had appeared at about eleven o’clock.We had about eight hours to swim before daylight.This seemed possible,if the sea remained calm.

    What happened to the man who told the story?

    A.He and his companion got into the water to test their strength.

    B.He jumped into the water to save the broken rudder.

    C.He was knocked into the water by his enemy.

    D.He was thrown into the sea when the ship struck a whale.

    Why did the two men cut their clothes?

    A.Because no people helped them to take off their clothes.

    B.Because they couldn’t take off their clothes on the sea.

    C.Because they wanted to get rid of their clothes quickly.

    D.Because they wanted to lifebuoys（救生圈）with their clothes.

    What does the word “still” in the last paragraph mean?

    A.not moving                    B.even                        C.yet                          D.however

    n order to save their strength,______.

    A.Neither of the two men was good swimmers.

    阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该项标号涂黑。
    A
    TV Shows and Long Bus Trips
    Long bus rides are like television shows. They have a beginning, a middle, and an end-with commercials thrown in every three or four minutes. The commercials are unavoidable. They happen whether you want them or not. Every couple of minutes a billboard glides by outside the bus window. “Buy Super Clean Toothpaste.” “Drink Good’n Wet Root Beer.” “Fill up with Pacific Gas.” Only if you sleep, which is equal to turning the television set off, are you spared the unending cry of “You Need It! Buy It Now!”
    The beginning of the ride is comfortable and somewhat exciting, even if you’ve traveled that way before. Usually some things have changed-new houses, new buildings, sometimes even a new road. The bus driver has a style of driving and it’s fun to try to figure it out the first hour or so. If the driver is particularly reckless（不计后果的） or daring, the ride can be as thrilling as a suspense story. Will the driver pass the truck in time? Will the driver move into the right or the left-hand lane? After a while, of course, the excitement dies down. Sleeping for a while helps pass the middle hours of the ride. Food always makes bus rides more interesting. But you’ve got to be careful of what kind of food you eat. Too much salty food can make you very thirsty between stops.
    The end of the ride is somewhat like the beginning. You know it will soon be over and there’s a kind of expectation and excitement in that. The seat, of course, has become harder as the hours have passed. By now you’ve sat with you legs crossed, with your hands in your lap, with your hands on the am rests---even with your hands crossed behind your head. The end comes just at the right time. There are just no more ways to sit.
    61． According to the passage, what do the passengers usually see when they are on a long bus trip?
    A．buses on the road.    B．films on television.
    C．advertisements on the board.   D．gas stations.
    62．What is the purpose of this passage?
    A．To give the writer’s opinion about long bus trips.
    B．To persuade you to take a long bus trip.
    C．To explain how bus trips and television shows differ.
    D．To describe the billboards along the road.
    63．The writer feels long bus rides are like TV shows because                     .
    A．the commercials both on TV shows and on billboards along the road are fun
    B．they both have a beginning, a middle, and an end, with commercials in between
    C．the drivers are always reckless on TV shows just as they are on buses
    D．both traveling and watching TV are not exciting
    64．Why does the writer think that the end of the ride is somewhat like the beginning?
    A．Because both are exciting.       B．Because both are comfortable.
    C．Because both are tiring.    D．Because both are boring.

    II.阅读（共两节，满分50分）

    第一节 阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）

    阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B，C和D项中选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

    Like all other mothers who have small children, I, too, have to steal time-from my own children at home and from the children who know me as their teacher-just to put a few words down on paper. Many times I've wanted to write for myself, for other women, for my parents, for my husband, and especially for my children. I would have liked to leave a legacy (遗产) of words explaining what it has meant to have twins. One reason that there is not a great deal written about being a mother of a new baby is that there is seldom a moment to think of anything else but the baby's needs.

    With twins, I did not have a spare hand to write with.

    Before my twins were born, my days were long and I had nothing to write about. After the twins' birth I did have something to write about, but I found myself facing not a pen and paper but milk bottles.

    Some nights, friends would visit. They would leave at 11 p.m., heading for bed, and for us the night was only just beginning. With twins, there is really no night. Each feeding lasts a long time. At 1:00 a.m., each of them would begin crying from hunger. At 4:00am, when I finally put them down, I felt exhausted.

    Two years have passed since then and we've managed to live through it all. My days are still very full and even now there isn't one evening when I put the twins down for the night that I don't have a break. At last a little time for myself.

    26. When did the writer have time but she didn't feel like writing anything?

    A. Before the birth of her twins.

    B. When she faced bottles of milk.

    C. After her friends visited her home.

    D. When she had to think about the babies' needs.

    27. What does the writer mainly write about?

    A. Her role as a wife.                         B. Her work as a writer.

    C. Her experience as a mother.            D. Her feeling as a woman.

    28. Why did the writer say the night was just beginning (in the 4th paragraph)?

    A. Because her friends left her house too late.

    B. Because she started to take care of the twins even at night.

    C. Because her babies often cried and she woke up.

    D. Because she could not sleep till four in the morning.

    29. This passage is probably from a(n) ______.

    A. blog          B. newspaper               C. guidebook               D. advertisement

    30. What can we learn from the passage?

    A. The writer was unhappy because of no time for writing.

    B. The writer cared her babies more than her own interests.

    C. The writer hated to be a mother of twins.

    D. The writer could steal a little time at night.
