    10．Bangkok has become the world's top tourist destination，with 15.98 million visitors projected to visit Thailand's capital city this year，according to the third annual Global Destination Cities Index released by MasterCard on Monday．Based on data MasterCard collected from governments，central banks，related public agencies and airlines so far this year，the projection for the entire year says Bangkok is surpassing （超过） London，the previous holder of the top place，by a very narrow margin．
        Monday's report marked the first time an Asian city has been projected to be the top-ranked tourist destination．London came in second，with 15.96 million visitors expected in 2013，and Paris，third，with 13.92 million visitors．Mas terCard looked at 132 cities．

        The study found that Bangkok is experiencing a large increase in its number of tourists in 2013，up 9.8% from 2009．That compares to New York's increase at 5.0% and London's at 3.8%．Paris，meanwhile，saw a small dip in its number of tourists （negative 0.7%）．
        Caroline Lledo，who was visiting Bangkok from France，said Thailand has many offerings．"We like culture and the people are so nice．We also love shopping here，"Ms．Lledo said．MasterCard Worldwide's global economic adviser Yuwa Hedrick-Wong cited （引用） overall value for money spent for why Bangkok is attractive．That is true for Thailand overall as well．

    20．As an English teacher，one of the most common problems I've found with my students is their lack of confidence with speaking，and difficulty in understanding native speakers．Another problem could be that a foreign language taught in schools can sound quite different to what native speakers actually use．
    There are a few English words and expressions that I'd never heard until I came to China．The most common one in my experience is"How are you？I'm fine，thank you，and you？"
    I appreciate that although this greeting is much too formal for everyday use-it's easy to learn and helps build confidence．However，it can be a hard habit to break．I've seen many parents correct their kids if they don't use that exact phrase，as if simply replying"I'm fine"would somehow be rude．In fact I'm banning my students from saying that in the classroom，insisting a simple"I'm fine，thanks"is good enough．
    "Seldom"is another one that I find interesting．The first time a student told me"I seldom watch TV"，my initial reaction was a stupefied look，followed by"Huh？"I then realized the student used"seldom"when it's more common for us to use"rarely．"
    I was just as confused when I first heard a toilet referred to as a WC （water closet），another English term I'd never heard of back in Australia．Of course，my students know the other names for it like bathroom，toilet，washroom etc．so to prefer that name is an interesting choice．
    I don't mind that my students have substituted familiar English words with their own，far from it．It reminds me how creative they can be with not only their language，but with mine as well．It's healthy for English to evolve （进化） and change and I'm happy to add these new words to my vocabulary．
    One important lesson I've learnt is that textbooks can only help you so much．For further improvement you'd better practice with native speakers．
    61．What does the article mainly tell about？C
    A．Learning English needs confidence．
    B．Native speakers are hard to understand．
    C．Chinese-English has something different．
    D．Chinese students are more creative．
    62．The problem with the reply"I'm fine，thank you，and you？"is that it isB．
    A．too long to remember                 B．not popular with native speakers
    C．sometimes misunderstood              D．considered impolite by native speakers
    63．The writer mentioned parents correcting their kids to show that in ChinaB．
    A．speaking English at home has become a habit
    B．the exact reply has been trained into a habit
    C．some parents are not qualified to teach English
    D．children don't always obey their teachers
    64．It's possible for us to hear an Australian say"WeDuse the term‘D'for a toilet．"
    A．seldom；  bathroom                    B．rarely；  washroom
    C．seldom；  WC                      D．rarely；  WC
    65．What is the writer's attitude towards his students using Chinese-English？A
    A．He's tolerant
    B．He's angry．
    C．He feels uncomfortable
    D．He pays no attention．

    1．Different explanations are offered for America's weight problem--a problem increasingly shared by other countries．Almost one-fifth of American children and teenagers are overweight．
    Schools have been urged to increase physical education，an important tool for public health．And many have．Yet now comes a study showing an increase in the number of injuries in"physical"class．Injuries increased 150% between 1997 and 2007．The study involved injuries treated in hospital emergency departments．Only 2% were serious．
    The researchers did not try to identify the causes of the increase，but they have some theories．Lara McKenzie from Ohio State University was the lead researcher．She says one possibility is a decrease in the number of school nurses during the period they studied．For example，a 2004 study showed that the number of school nurses nationally failed to meet federal guidelines．Schools without a nurse on duty may be more likely to send an injured child to a hospital．
    Another possible reason for more injuries is a change in the traditional idea of physical education．This"New P．E．"expands the kinds of sports that are taught．But activities that some schools offer now，like rock climbing walls and skateboarding，can also expand the risks，says Cheryl Richardson．She is with the National Association for Sport and Physical Education．Also，she says not all states require P．E．teachers to be specially trained．Untrained teachers could be less likely to recognize unsafe conditions．Cheryl Richardson also points to one of the study's findings--that injuries are often the result of contact with a person or a structure．This tells her that the teachers were not giving each student enough space to move around safely．
    Six activities produced seventy percent of all injuries：running，basketball，football，volleyball，soccer and gymnastics．
    The researchers say larger class sizes are another possible reason for the increase in injuries．Larger classes can mean less supervision．

    57．The passage is mainly aboutB．
     A．different explanations for America's overweight
     B．the possibilities for the increasing number of injuries in P．E．classes
     C．The"New P．E．"offered in American schools
     D．the decrease of the number of American school nurses
    58．What Cheryl Richardson says implies she is in favor of the idea thatD．
     A．the school injuries are not common in America
     B．P．E．teachers should be responsible for the school injuries
     C．school nurses are in great need in America
     D．all P．E．teachers should be specially trained
    59．The P．E．activities that cause most of the school injuries areB．
     A．rock climbing，running，basketball，football，volleyball and soccer
     B．running，basketball，football，volleyball，soccer and gymnastics
     C．skateboarding，running，basketball，football，soccer and gymnastics
     D．skateboarding，rock climbing，high jump，basketball，football and volleyball
    60．P．E．activities for large class sizes are more likely to cause injuries because_A．
     A．P．E．teachers have more difficulty taking care of every student
     B．students are more free to move around on campus
     C．students don't have enough space to have P．E．activities
     D．students have more spare time to spend alone．

    5．Maggiano is an award-winning teacher in the Social Studies Department at West Springfield High School in Virginia．He has taught in public and private schools for 25years．In a piece on his blog called"The Classroom Post，"he calls for more males to enter the profession（职业）．
    Men Teach，a non-profit organization that encourages men to enter teaching，reports that in 2008，18.8% of all elementary and middle school teachers were men．At the high school level during the same year，men comprised（构成） 44% of the work force．
    Why are there so few men in teaching？Men Teach says low pay and lack of prestige（声望），as well as a perception in our culture that teaching is for women．As a result，there is no organized effort across the country to attract men into the teaching profession．
    A study in 2008by the National Education Association showed that the number of male teachers hit a record 40-year low．Males comprised 24.5percent of public schoolteachers．States with high percentages：Kansas （33.6percent），Oregon （31.6percent），Alaska （30.9percent） and Indiana （30.5percent）．States with the lowest percentage：Arkansas （16.2percent），Virginia （17.4percent），Mississippi （17.5percent），Louisiana （18percent），South Carolina （18.5percent） and Georgia （19.7percent）．
    There is no definitive（确定） research that male students--or female students，for that matter--learn better from a particular sex．
    But as Maggiano put it，"Kids today，both boys and girls，must have the same opportunity to learn from outstanding，devoted men that I did．However，I have heard little discussion about this problem coming from our national leaders．

    45．What worries Maggiano is thatC．
    A．nobody will take his place when he retires
    B．male teachers are not so excellent
    C．men are not interested in teaching
    D．there is not enough teachers in the schools
    46．According to the text，we can infer thatB．
    A．the number of male teachers hit a record 40-year low in 2008
    B．it is not sure students will learn better from male teachers
    C．male teachers get a higher pay
    D．organized efforts have been made to call on men into the teaching profession
    47．In which state are male teachers most badly needed？D
    A．Alaska    B．Virginia    
    C．Georgia   D．Arkansas
    48．What does the last paragraph suggest？A
    A．The government doesn't pay much attention to the shortage of male teachers in the school．
    B．Students find it easy to learn from male teachers．
    C．I'm glad to hear the discussion about the shortage of male teachers in the school．
    D．The shortage of male teachers in the school has no effect on students．

    19．Every Wednesday，I go to Cantata Adult Life Services，a local retirement community in Brookfield，Illinois，US，with my classmates to do community service．
    After my very first visit to Cantata，my life changed forever．That may sound a bit dramatic，but volunteering with the elderly has changed my views on life．
    Our visits last about an hour，and we bring 25-30students every time．We play board games and cards with the residents while we're there．
    You can watch all the movies and TV shows you want about"life back then"，but nothing compares to talking to the people who were actually there．Just hearing their stories has touched me in a way I never thought possible．It made me realize that it's the little things that make life worth living．That's something I won't forget anytime soon．
    If there's one thing I've realized in my three years of visiting Cantata，it's that presence-just being there-means more than anything to many of the residents．And despite how busy our lives are，there's always time to make someone's day．
    It's easy to feel like you don't have anything in common with the elderly-especially when you're a teenager．But that's not true at all．
    I hate to be overly cliched （陈词滥调的） here，but age really is just a number．As young adults，it's important for us to realize this sooner rather than later．We can learn a lot from the elderly，and they can often benefit from teenagers too．
    28．What do the volunteers do at Cantata Adult Life Services？B
    A．They share everything with the residents．
    B．They play board games and cards with the residents．
    C．They watch the residents play games．
    D．They buy gifts for the residents．
    29．According to the writer，what is the most important thing that volunteers can do for the elderly？D
    A．Playing with them．
    B．Benefiting from them．
    C．Helping them．
    D．Being there with them．
    30．What does the writer want to tell us by writing this passage？C
    A．We don't have anything in common with the elderly．
    B．Age is just a number．
    C．Young adults and the elderly can benefit from each other．
    D．It is important to play with the elderly．
