         For most families, a long car journey is the bane of any trip. But for the Zapps, their 83-year-old
    vehicle has been a home for the past 11 years, as the couple travel around the world on a never ending trip of a lifetime, covering 142,000 miles over four continents.
         Herman and Candelaria Zapp, who got married to each other in 1996 and to their journey in 2000,
    Set off from Patagonia, Argentina, heading for Alaska. They came back to Argentina in2004,but settled
    there only for a couple of weeks, before deciding the open road is the only way to live. They have been
    traveling ever since, with a trip around South America between 2005 and 2007, then central America, the U.S. and Canada until 2009.The car was shipped to Australia, New Zealand, Japan and South Korea as
    they traveled those countries and they are currently in the Philippines on a tour of South East Asia.
         As a proof that life is possible in such a mobile style, the family of the two slowly grew to a number of
    six.They became, over the years and while on the road, parents to four children, Pampa (eight), Tehue
    (five), Paloma (three) and Wallaby (one). Remarkably, each of their kids has a different nationality.
         "My grandfather knew that we wanted to travel and to never stop so he gave me the old Grdham-Paige car he used on his farm," Herman said. Each night the six Zapps either sleep in or around a tent set up next to their car, but more often than not they find a friendly local who will put them up for the night.The only
    hard rule the couple have to stick by, is the 40mph speed limit the 83-year old car is restricted to.
         Their trip is supported with the money coming from selling books they write about the places they visit.
    1. Which word has a similar meaning to the underlined word "bane" in the first paragraph?

    （7）阅读理解
    For many of us, printed books are satisfying in ways beyond the words they contain. Billions of printed books have been published, read and saved in the 600 years since movable type was invented, so why mess with a good things?
    Sony Electronics is doing just that, betting that readers will be won over by the convenience of readability of its new electronic book devices. Sony's reader, the PRS-505, can hold 160 books in its fixed memory, enough to line the shelves on a good-sized wall in the average American home. The $299 device is about the size of a paperback book, but a half-inch thick and weighs less than a pound.
    The Sony book reader is revolutionary not only in its storage capacity. The font（字体） is highly readable and adjustable by size. Unlike laptop computers, you can put the Sony in your purse, read it in direct sunlight and even bookmark the pages. And you can connect it to your PC to download books.
    Surprisingly, though the reader has liberated the book from paper, electronic books aren't always a bargain. For example, David Baldacci's "Stone Cold" download retails（零售） for $15.19 at the Sony site, while Amazon（卓越网） will deliver a hard copy to your mailbox for $16.19.
    The Sony reader also lets you store and play or display music. So what's not to like about the Sony? Well, for many bibliophiles, a lot. Book lovers like to have, hold and keep their volumes, which don't need charging. You can write notes in the margins, and enjoy the ambience they provide on your book shelves.
    The need for electronic reading devices is likely to grow as more people worried about the billions of tons of paper used for printed material. Many believe the time will come when devices like the Sony reader are as common as printed newspapers and magazines today.
    1．What would be the best title for the passage?
    A. The age of the electronic book reader is coming
    B. Printed books are out of date
    C. The Sony reader meets many readers’ needs
    D. The revolution in book readers
    2．According to the passage, the Sony book reader _________.
    A. is as light as a laptop computer              
    B. can hold more than 200 books
    C. is convenient to carry around                 
    D. cannot be connected to a PC
    3．What is the author’s point when he mentions “Stone Cold”?
    A. Amazon’s printed books are very cheap
    B. “Stone Cold” can be got from the Sony site and Amazon
    C. The Sony book reader is not very cheap to use
    D. The Sony book reader can benefit its buyers a lot
    4．The underlined word “bibliophiles” in Paragraph 5 refers to “__________”.
    A. music lovers                                  B. book lovers
    C. electronic reading devices        D. Sony readers
    5．According to the author, what’s the future for the electronic reading devices?
    A. They’ll replace printed newspapers and magazines
    B. They’ll still be more expensive than printed newspapers
    C. They’ll become a must in people’s daily life
    D. They’ll become more popular as time goes on

         For most students, the most difficult part of any exam is the actual studying.Typically, there is so much
    material to study that students begin to delay, putting off studying until the night before.After a latenight cram session, students arrive at the exam tired and feeling dazed by large amounts of information they've tried to
    absorb.The easiest way to study, for an exam, and avoid the cram sessions, is to make a study plan.
    The first step to making a study plan is to decide whether you want to study alone or in a group.When
    planning study times and organizing study sessions for a group, the needs and schedules of the group are a
    factor.As a result, you must decide whether you will be studying with a group before continuing with making a study plan.
         There are two time elements that are important to an effective study plan.The first time element to consider is the amount of time you have until the exam, while the second is the amount of time during the day that
    you can set aside for studying.Try to study for at least two hours per day for major exams, like entrance
    exams, and at least thirty minutes per day for lecture exams.If you are limited on the amount of time until the exam, such as one week or less, then you will need to increase your daily study time.Set up a schedule with clearly marked study times for each day.
         The content to be studied depends on the type of exam.For placement exams, entrance exams, and
    licensure exams, there are no specific textbooks or prior lecture notes.There are, however, commercially
    available review guides, and textbooks and lecture notes from past classes often contain a great deal of
    material that will help with the exam.By looking at the content areas  of the test, you can determine what
    readily available material to study.For coursebased exams, textbooks and lecture notes are both ideal study content.Break the content into chunks(块), and then assign specific chunks to the study times that you have
    listed on your schedule.
         Once you have set up study times and assigned material to them, it is time to study.When reading
    textbooks, take notes on the information.With lecture notes, write notes in the margin.Use a highlighter.The
    idea is to make key information readily available for review.In addition, making notes and looking up ideas
    to supplement notes reinforces the material in your mind.Quiz yourself as you finish each area you are
    studying to determine what you still need to review.
         Study plans are as unique as the person making them.The most effective study plan will take into
    account your schedule, the times each day when you are able to study without interruption, and the amount of material that needs to be reviewed.By spreading out the study times and breaking up the information,
    you make it easier to absorb and retain the necessary material before the exam.
      1    The easiest way to study for an exam and avoid the cram sessions
    Making a  study plan
       2    or solo An important   3  :the needs and schedules of the group

         For years children in the industrial areas of Europe and America seldom left their smoky cities to see
    the beauty of the countryside.Not that the woods and fields were always far away, but they were too far
    from the city to permit people to make a round trip between morning and nightfall.What's more, factory
    workers did not have enough money to send their children on country holidays away from home.
         In 1907 a young German schoolmaster had an idea which changed this state of affairs.He decided to
    turn his little schoolhouse into a dormitory for the summer holidays.Anyone who brought his sleeping bag
    and cooking equipment along could stay there for a very small amount of money.The idea was a success.A few years later the schoolhouse was far too small to hold so many young people who wanted to stay there.So, a dormitory was set up in an old castle nearby.This was the first Youth Hostel.
         Today young students and workers of every country can meet in the hostels and get to know each
    other.Some spend a week or more in the same hostel, seeing the surrounding sights and meeting the people of the area.Other youths go on foot or by bicycle from place to place, spending a night or two in one
    hostel, then going to the next.
         Sometimes an informal program will be organized after the meal, with dances, songs, or short talks
    followed by a question period.One can learn a lot about other places, just by meeting people who come
    from these places.For this reason, a few weeks spent "hostelling" can be just as useful a part of one's
    education as classes in school.
    1.  The reason why children in the industrial areas seldom left their smoky cities was that ________.
    A.  they didn't like the beauty of the countryside at all
    B.  their parents' income was not high enough to pay for the cost
    C.  they couldn't make a round trip between morning and nightfall because of the distance
    D.  Both B & C
    2.  Paragraph 2 mainly tells us ________.
    A.  how the first Youth Hostel began
    B.  how to turn little schoolhouse into a dormitory for the summer holidays
    C.  what the students should carry when spending summer holidays in the countryside
    D.  the reason why spending summer holidays in the countryside
    3.  According to the passage,, the following are the mentioned advantages of hostelling EXCEPT
    ________.
    A.  enjoying the beauty of the countryside
    B.  broadening their outlook and knowledge
    C.  making new friends
    D.  avoiding doing their homework
    4.  用30词左右概括文章大意
