分析 本文是应用文广告,文章介绍了适应不同旅客需要的票:周游世界的票(Round the world tickets )RTWs--通常持续一年,可到几个不同的目的地;旅行中多处停靠的票(Multi-stopover tickets)--可在中途多次停留;"开颌式"往返票(Open jaw tickets)--乘飞机到一个目的地,然后陆地旅行,乘飞机从另一个目的地回来;航空通行证(Air passes)--在一个国家或地区旅行;Spur legs--可迂回到达目的地.

解答 49.A.细节理解题.根据题干中的关键词"travel around the world"定位文章的细节在"Round the world tickets (RTWs)"的"These usually last a year and let you go to several destinations",可以去往多个不同的目的地推断可以周游世界,所以答案选择A.
50.C.细节理解题.根据Open jaw tickets 的特征"go to one destination by air-and then travel overland and come back by another destination by air乘飞机到一个目的地,然后陆地旅行,乘飞机从另一个目的地回来"判断答案选择C.
51.D.细节理解题.根据题干中的关键词"travel to Japan.passing by Beijing"可知是"迂回前往目的地,而非直接去"定位文章的细节在Supr legs部分"go off on a detour (迂回路) on your way to your final destination迂回前往目的地",所以答案选择D.
52.B.细节理解题.根据题干中的关键词"in one country for a short time在一个国家短时间逗留"定位细节在Air passes部分的"travel around within one country or even one area 在一个国家或地区旅行",所以答案选择B.

点评 阅读广告类类文章时,应该在整体把握文章结构的前提下,主要注意细节信息.这类阅读细节理解题居多,做题时,根据所提问题用寻读、跳读的方法可达到事半功倍的效果.同时,在阅读时也要特别注意文中以粗体、大写、下划线等方式加以提示的文字,因为这很有可能是文章的核心或某一部分内容的概括.

12.There has been much discussion recently about reducing the weight of English in China's high-stake tests such as the national college entrance examination.It is argued by some applauding the recent change to reduce the importance of English in tests so that it will lead students to focus more on learning Chinese.The TV program Writing in Chinese has exposed the problem that students and the general public cannot write in Chinese as they used to do.
Some blame the design of the curriculum for giving English an equal or greater amount of emphasis,which might have contributed to the failure in teaching Chinese.But this is probably not a fair accusation since children in English speaking countries cannot spell either.
I doubt that studying English in itself hurts the study of Chinese.In fact,high achievers in English or another foreign language are more likely to be high achievers in Chinese.It has been proved many times in recent Chinese history that those capable of using a foreign language are also masters in their mother tongue.Qian Zhongshu,Lu Xun and Lin Yutang are just a few examples.
Another trend of thought for curriculum reform is related to the perception of"worth".It is true that English is one of the subjects that students do spend too much time on,with pitiful results.This makes some doubt if it is worth giving it priority.But this is not a sound argument either as students still need to study things that matter more to their future in spite of challenges learning English presents to them.
Improvements in Chinese language education should not be achieved by sacrificing another important subject.There should be a robust(健康的) foreign language education program,as a foreign language improves a student's future job prospects.Bashing(抨击) English education as a waste of time or using it as a goat for failures in Chinese education are both harmful tendencies.
To be constructive,we ought to start a dialogue on ways to make improvements in learning outcomes so that students'time learning English is spent more effectively.There are a few things that could improve English education,such as assessment design,learner motivation and teaching style,
I am sure there are many other areas where changes can greatly improve the effectiveness and efficiency of English learning.The public discourse at present is a little oversimplified.People are arguing for or against English having less weight in major tests,when the dialogue should be taken a step further,to the improvement of learning or teaching methods that may benefit the teaching of other subjects as well,Chinese included.

63.In paragraph 3 Qian Zhongshu,Lu Xun and Lin Yutang are mentioned toB.
  A.show respect for their capabilities of learning languages
  B.prove English and Chinese are not contradictory
  C.confirm the importance of learning English in China
  D.tell the readers English Education is to blame
64.According to the passage,which of the following statements is right?C
  A.The TV program Writing in Chinese is very popular at present.
  B.Good results of learning English are not worth so much time.
  C.Some are in favor of attaching less importance to English in exams.
  D.Sacrificing English can improve Chinese language education.
65.In the writer's opinion,what should be done to solve the argument?D
  A.Increasing time spent in learning Chinese.
  B.Increasing time spent in learning English.
  C.Reducing the weight of English in examinations.
  D.Improving the learning outcomes effectively.
66.Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage?A
A.English education is still important in China.
B.Chinese education is more important in China.
C.English contributes to the failure in teaching Chinese              
D.Ways to make improvements in learning Chinese.

9.Blind imitation is self-destruction.To those who do not recognize their unique worth,imitation appears attractive; to those who know their strength,imitation is unacceptable.
In the early stages of skill or character development,imitation is helpful.When I first learned to cook,I used recipes (菜谱) and turned out some tasty dishes.But soon I grew bored.Why follow someone else's way of cooking when I could create my own?Imitating role models is like using training wheels on a child's bicycle; they help you get going,but once you find your own balance,you fly faster and farther without relying on them.
In daily life,imitation can hurt us if we subconsciously (下意识地) hold poor role models.If,as a child,you observed people whose lives were bad,you may have accepted their fear and pain as normal and gone on to follow what they did.If you do not make strong choices for yourself,you will get the results of the weak choices of others.
In the field of entertainment,our culture glorifies celebrities.Those stars look great on screen.But when they step off screen,their personal lives may be disastrous.If you are going to follow someone,focus on their talent,not their bad character or unacceptable behaviors.
Blessed is the person willing to act on their sudden desire to create something unique.Think of the movies,books,teachers,and friends that have affected you most deeply.They touched you because their creations were motivated by inspiration,not desperation.The world is changed not by those who do what has been done before them,but by those who do what has been done inside them.Creative people have an endless resource of ideas.The problem a creator faces is not running out of material; it is what to do with the material knocking at the door of imagination.
Study your role models,accept the gifts they have given,and leave behind what does not serve you.Then you can say,"I stand on the shoulders of my ancestors'tragedies and declare victory,and know that they are cheering me on."

36.Imitation proves useful when youC.
A.know you are unique
B.lose the balance of life
C.begin to learn something new
D.get tired of routine practice
37.To avoid the bad result of imitation,we shouldB.
A.forget daily fear and pain
B.choose the right example
C.ask others for decisions
D.stay away from stars
38.According to the author,the world moves on because of those who areB.
A.desperate to influence others with their knowledge
B.ready to turn their original ideas into reality
C.eager to discover what their ancestors did
D.willing to accept others'ideas
39.The trouble a creator faces isD.
A.the lack of strong motivation
B.the absence of practical ideas
C.how to search for more materials
D.how to use imagination creatively
40.What is the author's purpose in writing this passage?A
A.To highlight the importance of creativity.
B.To criticize the characters of role models.
C.To compare imitation with creation.
D.To explain the meaning of success.
