Consulates (领事馆) exist to help citizens abroad to help themselves. Every year millions of people go abroad for pleasure or profit (利润). There are consular officers ready to do what they can to help if people get into difficulties, but for all sorts of reasons there are limits to what they can do. Most times things go well for travelers abroad but occasionally things go wrong.
So, whether you are an experienced traveler or a first timer, going by yourself, with the family or a group there are things you should do before you go. Think about money and tickets well in advance. Take enough money including enough to pay your return fare, and hold on to it. Better still, buy return tickets in the first place. In an emergency a consul (领事) will contact relatives or friends and ask them to help you with money or tickets. But there's no law that says a consul has to lend you money and if he eventually does (and it will have to be repaid) he will want to be satisfied first that you really do have no money and there is no one else you know who can help.
It is also important to take out proper insurance (保险) for everything from car breakdowns to loss of life. A consul cannot pay your medical or any other bills, nor can he do the work of local travel representatives or motoring organizations.
53．What is the author trying to do in the text
A．To inform people about laws abroad. B．To describe an international problem.
C．To explain how to visit a consulate. D．To give advice about consulates
54．Why would somebody read the text?
A．To know how to contact a consul. B．To find out how to make a complaint (抱怨).
C．To know when to contact a consul. D．To find out where a consul lives.
55．You can borrow money from a consul if you .
A．need to stay abroad longer. B．have to help a relative
C．have no other financial (资金) means D．need to have your car repaired
56．Which of the following notices would you see in Consular Office?
A． CONSULAR OFFICE
In an emergency you may contact your consul. He may give you advice but you should not rely on being given financial help.
B．CONSULAR OFFICE
In an emergency you may contact this office. Your consul can always help with hospital and dental costs.
C．CONSULAR OFFICE
You may contact your consul if you have run out of money. He will arrange for you to receive help if you cannot pay your bills.

Mickey’s Goal
Last night was the last game for my eight-year-old son’s soccer team. It was the final quarter. The score was two to one, my son’s team in the lead. Parents surrounded the playground, offering encouragement.
With less than ten seconds remaining, the ball suddenly rolled in front of my son’s teammate, Mickey O’ Donnel. With shouts of “Kick it!” echoing（回响）across the playground, Mickey turned around and gave it everything he had. All around me the crowd erupted （沸腾）. O’ Donnel had scored!
Then there was silence. Mickey had scored all right, but in the wrong goal, ending the game in a tie. For a moment there was a total hush. You see, Mickey has Down syndrome（综合症）and for him there is no such thing as a wrong goal. All goals were celebrated by a joyous hug from Mickey. He had even been known to hug the opposing players when they scored.
The silence was finally broken when Mickey, his face filled with joy, hugged my son tightly and shouted, “I scored! I scored. Everybody won! Everybody won!” For a moment I held my breath, not sure how my son would react. I need not have worried. I watched, through tears, as my son threw up his hand in the classic high-five salute and started chanting, “Way to go Mickey! Way to go Mickey!” Within moments both teams surrounded Mickey, joining in the chant and congratulating him on his goal
Later that night, when my daughter asked who had won, I smiled as I replied, “It was a tie. Everybody won.

After too long on the Net，even a phone call can be a shock. My boyfriend‘s Liverpudlian accent suddenly becomes too difficult to understand after his clear words on screen; a secretary‘s tone seems more rejecting than I’d imagined it would be. Time itself becomes fluid- hours becomes minutes， and alternately seconds stretch into days. Weekends， once a highlight of my week，are now just two ordinary days.
For the last three years，since I stopped working as a producer for Charlie Rose，I have done much of my work as a telecommuter. I submit (提交) articles and edit them by E-mail and communicate with colleagues on Internet mailing lists. My boyfriend lives in England, so much of our relationship is computer-mediated.
If I desired，I could stay inside for weeks without wanting anything. I can order food，and manage my money，love and work. In fact，at times I have spent as long as three weeks alone at home，going out only to get mail and buy newspapers and groceries. I watched most of the blizzard of 96 on TV.
But after a while，life itself begins to feel unreal. I start to feel as though I’ve merged (融合) with my machines，taking data in spitting them back out， just another node （波节）on the Net. Others on line report the same symptoms. We start to strongly dislike the outside forms of socializing. It’s like attending an A. A. meeting in a bar with everyone holding a half-sipped drink. We have become the Net opponents’ worst nightmare.
What first seemed like a luxury，crawling from bed to computer，not worrying about hair，and clothes and face，has become an avoidance，a lack of discipline. And once you start replacing real human contact with cyber-interaction，coming back out of the cave can be quite difficult.
At times, I turn on the television and just leave it to chatter in the background, something that I'd never done previously. The voices of the programs soothe (安慰) me, but then I'm jarred (使感不快) by the commercials. I find myself sucked in by soap operas, or compulsively (强制性能地) needing to keep up with the latest news and the weather. "Dateline," "Frontline," "Nightline," CNN, every possible angle of every story over and over and over, even when they are of no possible use to me. Work moves from foreground to background.
57．Compared to the clear words of her boyfriend on screen, his accent becomes____ A．unreal B．unbearable C．misleading D．not understandable
58．What does the last paragraph mean
A．Having worked on the computer for too long, she became a bit strange.
B．She is so interested in TV programs that she often forgets her work.
C．She watches TV a lot in order to keep up with the latest news and the weather.
D．She turns on TV now and then in order to get some comfort from TV program.
59．What is the author’s attitude to the computer?
A．She has become bored with it.
B．She dislikes it because TV is more attractive.
C．She dislikes it because it cuts off her relation with the outside world.
D．She likes it because it is very convenient.
60．The underlined phrase “coming back out of the cave ”probably means_______.
A．going back to the dreaming world B．coming back home from the outside world
C．restoring direct human contact D．getting away from living a strange life

(四川省棠湖中学2010届高三考前适应训练B篇)
Yesterday's paper had a short article about the Coming-of-Age ceremony in a large city in Japan. According to the article, the mayor of the city formally apologized to an enraged professor who delivered a speech at the ceremony that was all but ignored by 20-year-olds in the city.
The officials prepared 7,000 seats in a gymnasium where the ceremony was held for the 17,000 twenty-year-olds residing in the city. But most of the seats were empty during the speech. And many of the 20-year-olds who did show up ignored the professor and spoke among themselves or talked on their mobile phones. Some even made a ruckus (骚动) outside the gymnasium.
One 20-year-old who attended the ceremony said youngsters came to the ceremony not to listen to speeches but to see their classmates. The mayor criticized the young generation at a news conference on Tuesday, saying such behavior "issymbolic of the postwar era which failed to nurture healthy character and social intelligence."
Personally I feel people should not generalize the whole generation or the whole era when he criticizes something. But it is also true generation gap is getting bigger and bigger regarding the ceremony of Coming-of-Age Day. So far this ceremony has been held with citizens' tax money. Many older generations understand this festival as an entrance ceremony of adults' world which requires maturity including responsibility, patience, and cooperativeness. Older people tend to be "educational" to younger ones, while younger people tend to feel they finally obtain a right to behave freely because they are now adults. Though, ironically, young people have to ask their parents to buy them new clothes for the ceremony.
It is about time to change the way we celebrate this festival, I think. The idea of blessing new 20-year-olds is not so bad. But there seems to be some other ways to celebrate more properly. The present way seems to me a little superficial and materialistic. It can provide solutionless arguments between different generations, instead of friendships and respects. Instead of eternally complaining about the young's behaviors at the ceremonies, people should consider how they can make their ceremonies worthier, I feel.
45．We can infer from the passage that
A．in Japan, girls and boys, when they are 20 years old, come to their adulthood
B．there are 7,000 twenty-year-olds residents in the city
C．the mayor criticized the young generation at a news conference
D．it’s about time to change the way we celebrate the Coming-of-Age
46．When the professor was giving a speech the 20-years-olds are NOT________.
A．talking with each other B．chatting on their mobile phones
C．talking with the professor D．making ruckus outside
47．According to the author _________.
A．the festival is an entrance ceremony of adults’ world which requires maturity including responsibility, patience, and cooperativeness
B．the young people tend to obtain a right to behave freely because they are now adults
C．young people have to ask their parents to buy them new clothes for the ceremony
D．it’s time to end complaining about the young’s behaviors at the ceremonies, and people should consider how to make their ceremonies worthier
48．What’s the best title for the passage?
A．There are solutionless arguments between different generations.
B．Coming-of-Age ceremony should be much worthier.
C．Old people should be educational to young people
D．The younger ones’ behaviors stand for an era which failed to nurture healthy character and social intelligence
