Backpacking in Europe is a wonderful experience for young people around the world.After high school or university,you can plan a European backpacking trip.
Packing
As you plan the things you will carry,bring warm clothes and a raincoat or umbrella to deal with changing weather in different European countries.Europeans like dressing nicely,and good clothes will make you feel less like a dusty(满是灰尘的) backpacker.It is not worth taking the trouble to bring a hair dryer or shampoo,as you can buy basic necessities(必需品) in Europe.
Hostels
The cheapest places to sleep when backpacking in Europe are hostels(where people can stay and eat fairly cheaply).Most hostels have a lot of information about low-cost ways to see local attractions,and many offer tours.The cost for hostel beds differs from country to country.In Paris,you might pay 30 euros,but in Bulgaria,you can get a bed for 10 euros.In general,hostels are more expensive in large,popular cities such as Paris,Rome and London.
Many backpackers use rail passes(火车通票),which allow unlimited(不受限的) travel within country groups over a period of time.If you have the time to travel by train and will be traveling in a country group,this can be a good deal.Otherwise,you may consider point-to-point tickets,local trains,buses and airlines such as Ryanair,easyJet and Wizz Air,which offer cheap flights.
Food
Eating out in Europe can come with a high cost,and the best way to cut your food budget(预算) is to cook meals in the shared kitchens in hostels.You can make several meals into picnics to take advantage of Europe’s parks.When shopping for your picnic,try and buy at a local market.You save some euros while supporting the local industry at the same time.When eating out,choose restaurants away from tourist attractions.
【1】Which of the following is an advantage of hostels?
A.They are often built in popular cities.

Five Things Ambitious People Never Say
◆“I can’t do this—it’s too hard.”
Ambitious people never limit themselves or undervalue hard work with these words. 【1】 .
◆“I’m not good enough.”
Ambitious people never say they are not good enough. Saying you are not good enough holds you back and makes you easy to quit when things get a little rough. And quitting when things get a little rough is never a good thing. The most successful people in the world are not quitters. 【2】 Be confident and believe in yourself, or no one else will.
◆“I won’t make it through the obstacles(障碍).”
Challenges and obstacles are tests of your resolve(决心) and desire to succeed. 【3】 They say they will make it because they know better things lie ahead-the sun always shines after the storm.
◆ 【4】
The only time people won’t take you seriously is if you don’t take yourself seriously. Insisting that people won’t take you seriously is an excuse not to do what you know you should do. Ambitious people never say these words. Start respecting yourself and honoring what you do and people will respect and take you seriously.
◆“I’m going to fail for sure.”
【5】 It can teach you valuable lessons and redirect you to the right path. Ambitious people don’t say they are going to fail and let that stop them from trying. They challenge the fear of failure by taking calculated risks(甘冒风险) because they know the only time you are truly defeated is
A. Ambitious people never say they won't make it through the hard times.
B. They are hard workers who believe in themselves and their abilities.
C. Failure is not entirely bad.
D. They tell themselves they can do it.
E. “People won’t take me seriously.”

【题目】根据短文内容,选择最佳答案。
What would you think if someone suggested knocking down St Paul’s cathedral to widen the road,or pulling down Big Ben to make way for a car park? It’d be ridiculous,right? But when it comes to devastation(毁灭)of the natural world,we aren’t so easily shocked.But we should be...or we’ll be in a lot of trouble!
Nature is shrinking by the day.Ancient forests are destroyed.Wetlands are becoming dry.Woodland is disappearing,all in the name of progress.This is bad in itself,but it’s devastating for biodiversity.
Biodiversity refers to the variety of plants,animals and other living things which are all inter-connected.The ecological services provided by biodiversity are vital to everyday life.The air we breathe is a product of photosynthesis(光合作用)by green plants.In fact,all life on earth exists thanks to the benefit of biodiversity.More than 90 percent of the calories consumed by people worldwide are produced from 80 plant species.And 30 percent of medicines are developed from plants and animals.Maintaining a wide diversity of species in each ecosystem is necessary to preserve all living things.
The loss of biodiversity could be devastating.“It is wrong to think that biodiversity can be reduced indefinitely without threatening humans,” said Harvard University biologist Edward O Wilson,known as “the father of biodiversity”.He warned,“We are about to reach a critical point beyond which biodiversity loss will be unavoidable.”
But what can we do? The problem is that the concept of biodiversity is so vague.People might care about giant pandas,but it is much harder to excite them about the fate of tiny sea creatures which are being boiled to death in the cooling systems of power stations along coastlines.The Guardian newspaper is trying to help.It has started the Biodiversity 100 campaign to try to convince governments around the world to take action to deal with the widespread concerns about biodiversity.This includes persuading the UK government to create a series of marine reserves to change the decrease in the sea-life caused by industrial fishing,stopping fishing sharks by the Japanese fishermen and banning the killing of dingoes in Australia,among many other things.
There is a lot to do.And we’d better act quickly if we don’t want to end up with a planet that can’t support life!
【1】What does the author think of pulling down Big Ben to make way for a car park?
A.Unreasonable. B.Necessary.
C.Difficult. D.Urgent.
【2】What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 mean?
A.Nature is badly polluted by humans.
B.Species are becoming fewer and fewer day by day.
C.Rainforests are being cut down every day.
D.Nature is full of mysteries to humans.
【3】Edward O Wilson believes that .
A.it doesn’t matter to decrease the biodiversity
B.people have done enough to preserve biodiversity
C.the situation of biodiversity is very serious
D.biodiversity loss has been unavoidable
【4】What can we infer from the passage?
A.Plenty of marine reserves have been set up in the world.
B.Fishing sharks is illegal around the world.
C.It’s harmful to catch tiny organisms in the river.
D.The Guardian newspaper has done a lot for biodiversity.

【题目】Imagine this: you get up in the morning and put on a custom printed T-shirt. Then you eat some 3-D printed food and relax on your printed sofa. Perhaps you take a ride in a printed electric car to the hospital to get a printed tooth fitted.
Though some of these things may seem impossible, they’re closer to reality than you might think. The world of 3-D printing is coming to a store near you soon.
The idea of 3-D printing is to produce complicated shapes in a very personalized way. If you want to make a totally new object, you need to make a virtual design in a CAD（computer aided design）file first. Or you can use a 3-D scanner to make a digital copy of an object. Then, based on the design or copy, the 3-D printer makes paper-thin slices out of liquid, plastic, or metal and puts them together to create the object you want.
There are many areas in which 3-D printing can change our lives. One such area is health care. Researchers have developed simple 3-D printed organs, which can be used in life-saving operations. A 17-year-old boy in the US has also recently developed a brain-powered, 3-D printed replacement hand. From heart monitors to fake limbs（四肢）, we can soon be living longer thanks to 3-D printed technology.
Another area that 3-D technology looks sure to change is food. Can you imagine being able to print your favorite dishes at home at the touch of a button? Even big companies are behind the trend. Hersheys, one of the largest chocolate makers in the world, recently announced that it would start producing chocolate with the help of 3-D printers. NASA, the US space agency, has reportedly spent $125,000 （767,594 yuan） developing a “3-D pizza printer”.
It is not yet clear how long it will take until 3-D printers are available to everyone. But one thing is for sure: the possibilities are endless.
【1】The purpose of the first paragraph is to ________.
A. list some major 3-D printing breakthroughs
B. describe the characters of 3-D printing
C. picture a future life with 3-D printing
D. describe the benefits that 3-D printing has brought to our lives
【2】Compared with traditional manufacturing procedures, 3-D printing ________.
A. isn’t practical in daily life
B. relies less heavily on the use of 3-D scanners
C. can produce complicated products in larger sizes or numbers
D. has an advantage in meeting the personal needs
【3】We can infer from the article that ________.
A. there is still a long way to go before everyone can have access to 3-D printing
B. 3-D printed organs and limbs are as effective as real ones
C. big food companies are major players in the 3-D printing industry
D. people can create any object with any material by 3-D printing
【4】What can be the best title for the text?
A. What is 3-D printing?
B. A new technology-3-D printing.
C. How to use 3-D printing?
D. The development of 3-D printing.

Windmills(风车)dot the landscape,producing a renewable energy source.Our pioneer ancestors established windmills as a means of bringing water to the surface.To tell the truth,the history of wind energy is very long.Since early recorded history,people have been harnessing the energy of the wind.Wind energy drove boats along the Nile River as early as 5000 BC.By 200 BC,simple windmills in China were pumping water,while well-designed windmills were grinding(磨)grain in Persia and the Middle East.
New innovations and curiosity helped spread interest in windmills and wind power.Middle Eastern citizens used them for food production by the 11th century.Merchants along trade routes returned to Europe and shared the idea.Windmills caught on,especially in Holland,and the Dutch improved their use.Here,windmills drained lakes and other bodies of water.In France,the windmill pumped irrigation water.Elsewhere in Europe,windmills were used to grind grain.
By the 19th century,settlers in the United States realized the importance of the simple windmill.Pioneers pumped water for livestock(牲畜)and farming.As estimated six million windmills dotted America’s landscape by the end of the 1880s.Charles Brush,the US inventor,invented a windmill capable of producing electricity in 1888.And now the machines are called wind turbines.As late as the 1920s,Americans used small windmills to provide electricity in rural areas without electric service.When power lines began to transport electricity to rural areas in the 1930s,local windmills were used less and less,though they can still be seen on some Western farms.
In the 1970s,oil shortages pushed the development of alternative energy sources,paving the way for the re-entry of the windmill to produce electricity.In the early 1980s,wind energy really took off in California,partly because of State policies that encouraged renewable energy sources.In the 1990s,the push came from a renewed concern for the environment in response to scientific studies indicating potential changes to the global climate if the use of fossil fuels continues to increase.Wind energy is an economical power resource in many areas of the country.
Wind energy isn’t a new phenomenon,but using wind turbines to create and use electricity is a trend that continues to sweep across the globe.
【1】The underlined word “harnessing” in Paragraph 1 is the closest in meaning to “ ”.
A.having influence on
B.controlling and using
C.talking about and studying
D.showing interest in
【2】As for the application of windmills,Europe .
A.became well-known all over the world first
B.first began food production
C.increased trade activities with other places
D.followed the example of the Middle East
【3】According to the passage,Charles Brush .
A.created the first electricity-producing machine in the world
B.first used windmills in the US
C.was a pioneer in producing electricity from wind
D.improved the economic strength in rural areas of the US
【4】What is the best title for the passage?
A.The importance of wind power
B.How does wind energy work?
C.The history of wind energy
D.When was wind power first used?

【题目】阅读理解。
Every year there are changes in climate in different parts of the world.Some of these changes are due to natural causes.However,some climate changes are caused by air pollution and these changes may increase.
If the pollution affects the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere,the results are likely to be serious.There is only a small part of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.But it has an important function in keeping the balance between radiation from the sun entering the atmosphere and radiation leaving the Earth.Some of the radiation is absorbed by the Earth and some is radiated back into the atmosphere.The carbon dioxide in the atmosphere prevents some of the radiation from leaving the atmosphere.Thus the heat remains in the atmosphere and carbon dioxide helps to prevent the temperature of the Earth from falling.
If the proportion(比例)of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is increased as a result of air pollution,the temperature of the atmosphere may rise.This might cause the ice in the North and South to melt.If this happened,the sea level could rise and parts of the Earth would be flooded.This is not quite likely but the possibility exists.
There is also a fairly strong possibility that the dust level in the atmosphere will rise as a result of industrial pollution.This dust pollution will reflect sunlight back onto space.If this happens,less sunlight will reach the Earth and the temperature will fall.
Another danger comes from the destruction(破坏)of the Earth’s vegetation(植物)such as the forest of Brazil,which is being cleared away for farmland and cities.Trees use carbon dioxide and their destruction may upset the balance of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
【1】The main purpose of the passage is to tell us that .
A.the climate of the earth is always changing
B.air pollution has greatly affected the climate of the world
C.carbon dioxide has something to do with climate changes
D.the climate of the world is subjected to(使受到)dangers from air pollution
【2】From this passage we learn that carbon dioxide .
A.helps to prevent the temperature of the Earth from rising
B.keeps much of the sun’s radiation from entering the atmosphere
C.plays an important part in keeping the balance of the temperature of the Earth
D.is one of natural causes of climate changes
【3】Judging from this passage,if the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere went down,the temperature of the Earth would .
A.become higher B.either rise or fall
C.become lower D.neither rise nor fall
【4】Which of the following is not the possible serious outcome if air pollution is related to climate changes?
A.Parts of the Earth would be flooded one day.
B.More sunlight would reach the Earth.
C.The temperature of the Earth might rise.
D.The Earth’s vegetation might be destroyed.
