【题目】 China is starting to blacklist poorly-behaved tourists as it seeks to rescue the image of its citizens as holidaymakers.
According to a regulation by the China National Tourism Administration (NTA) that entered effect this week, tourists will be blacklisted for offences including acting antisocially on public transport, damaging private or public property, disrespecting local customs, damaging historical exhibits on purpose or engaging in gambling or pornographic activities. Records will be kept in a two-tired system: provincial-level tourism authorities are responsible for cases under their jurisdiction(管辖区域)while the NTA will be in charge of a nationwide register. People will be .blacklisted for two years after they offend, according to the regulation.
The NTA said tourism authorities will inform blacklisted tourists and “propose correction measures in order to mitigate the negative impact”. It also said that tourism authorities reserve the right to report such violations to public security, customs and transport authorities as well as the central bank’s individual credit department.
The regulation comes amid (在……之中) growing concern about the ill manners of Chinese tourists both at home and abroad. In 2013, a Chinese tourist wrote his name on a relief carving in Luxor, Egypt.

Chinese tourists have been fined or put into prison for carrying prohibited items or purchasing wild animal products.

Scientists have discovered that【1】(stay) in the cold could help us lose weight. Researchers at the University of California found that exposure to the cold increases levels of a protein that helps form brown fat--the type of fat that produces heat and keeps us warm. Brown fat burns energy,【2】helps us lose weight. White fat stores extra energy, which results 【3】weight gain. The researchers said that because air conditioning and heating give us constant, 【4】 (comfort) temperatures, our body’s need for brown fat has decreased. They found that: “Outdoor workers in northern Finland who 【5】(expose) to cold temperature have 【6】significant amount of brown fat when 【7】(compare) to same-aged indoor workers.” The research was conducted on two different control groups of mice.【8】group was injected with the protein that helps create brown fat. This group later gained 30% less weight after both groups were fed high-fat diets. The researchers say this could be good news in the fight against obesity. People who are obese have 【9】(low) levels of brown fat than thinner people. Head researcher Hei Sook Sul said, “This protein could become an important target for research into the treatment and prevention of obesity and obesity-related diseases.” She added, “If you can somehow increase levels of this protein, you could【10】 (possible) lose more weight even if eating the same amount of food.”

【题目】阅读理解。
The smiling face of Santa Claus appears all across China.Local governments are decorating trees and lamp posts with lights and ornaments.At first glance,visitors would think they were in Europe.
Despite the fact that most Chinese are not Christians,Christmas season has become increasingly popular.
"If you walked around major Chinese cities 15 years ago,you wouldn`t have seen many signs of Christmas.However,if you were to visit those same Chinese cities again today,you’d be surprised to see signs of Christmas almost everywhere," says Cai Jiming,a professor with Tsinghua University,who has served as an expert in developing China`s holiday schedule.
Although Christmas is not a public holiday,many Chinese cities are still getting into the Christmas spirit.
Cai says his e-mail inbox and cell phone have been flooded with messages wishing him a merry Christmas.The greetings have been coming in since the end of November.
In his view,Christmas seems like a "warm-up" for the truly important coming month-long Spring Festival.
However,despite the prevalence (流行)of Christmas celebrations,for most Chinese,it neither means a religious celebration nor an occasion for family reunions.Instead,it is a time for relaxing with friends,a time to shop,a time to have a party and it is especially a time for romance.
"I expect my boyfriend to take me out on Christmas Eve and I expect a romantic night," says Christine Zhou,28,a hotel manager in Beijing."It seems to me that everything associated with Christmas time is romantic."
On the streets,rose and chocolate peddlers are vying (竞争)for their business.
Christmas has become another Valentine`s Day,and at the same time,more people feel it is a time to reward themselves with good food and a good time.
However,as more Chinese join in the Christmas celebrations each year,some feel the Western-based festival is harming time-honored traditions.
But Cai considers it is unnecessary to boycott (抵制)a Western cultural festival."All important festivals in different cultures have now developed into universal holidays," he says.”
【1】From the first paragraph,we know________.
A.Christmas has become the most important festival in China
B.Christmas is celebrated by a great number of people in China

【题目】阅读理解。
London has more than nine million visitors every year.They come and visit some of the most famous places in England: Big Ben, the Tower of London and the River Thames.
You can see some of the most interesting places in the city by getting on one of London's tour buses or you can take a ride on the London Eye.This large wheel slowly takes you 135m above the River Thames.From the top you have wonderful views of the whole city.
The River Thames is London's main waterway.It has shaped the capital's landscape, history and geography.So one of the best ways of making sense of the city is to take a trip along the river.
The clock tower of the Houses of Parliament (议会大厦), Big Ben, has become one of the main symbols of London.The sound of the bell, which you can hear at the beginning of many television and radio programmes, has become well-known throughout the nation.
No visit to London is complete without a look at the Tower of London, in the eastern part of the city.After Big Ben, the Tower may be London's most visited tourist spot.It is Europe's oldest palace and prison.
Directly south is Tower Bridge, which is more than 100 years old.
Among all the palaces in London, Buckingham Palace is the most famous.It has been the main London home of the royal family since Queen Victoria moved there in 1837.You can visit some of the rooms in August and September.Most mornings of the year you can watch the soldiers outside hanging the guard.
About one hour by train out of London is the town of Windsor.Here you can visit another of the Queen's homes — Windsor Castle, Europe's biggest castle.
Sight-seeing in London is great, but it can get very tiring.So, the best way to start the day is to fill up on an English breakfast.
For starters, have an egg, bacon, sausages (香肠), tomatoes, mushrooms, black pudding and fried bread.Then finish off with toast and jam, and a large pot of tea.You can buy an English breakfast in nearly every hotel, and at many restaurants and cafes.
Or you can sit outside one of the many roadside pubs and cafes in London, and simply watch the busy world go by.

【题目】Like many new graduates, I left university full of hope for the future but with no real idea of what I wanted to do. My degree, with honors, in English literature had not really prepared me for anything practical. I knew I wanted to make a difference in the world somehow, but I had no idea how to do that. That’s when I learned about the Lighthouse Project.
I started my journey as a Lighthouse Project volunteer by reading as much as I could about the experiences of previous volunteers. I knew it would be a lot of hard work, and that I would be away from my family and friends for a very long time. In short, I did not take my decision to apply for the Lighthouse Project lightly. Neither did my family.
Eventually, however, I won the support of my family, and I sent in all the paperwork needed for the application. After countless interviews and presentations, I managed to stand out among the candidates and survive the test alone. Several months later, I finally received a call asking me to report for the duty. I would be going to a small village near Abuja, Nigeria. Where? What? Nigeria? I had no idea. But I was about to find out.
After completing my training, I was sent to the village that was small and desperately in need of proper accommodation. Though the local villagers were poor, they offered their homes, hearts, and food as if I were their own family. I was asked to lead a small team of local people in building a new schoolhouse. For the next year or so, I taught in that same schoolhouse. But I sometimes think I learned more from my students than they did from me.
Sometime during that period, I realized that all those things that had seemed so strange or unusual to me no longer did, though I did not get anywhere with the local language, and I returned to the United States a different man. The Lighthouse Project had changed my life forever.
【1】According to the Paragraph 2, it is most likely that the author
A. discussed his decision with his family.
B. asked previous volunteers about voluntary work
C. attended special training to perform difficult tasks
D. felt sad about having to leave his family and friends
【2】In his application for the volunteer job, the author
A. participated in many discussions
B. went through challenging survival tests
C. wrote quite a few papers on voluntary work

【3】On arrival at the village, the author was
A. asked to lead a farming team
B. sent to teach in a schoolhouse
C. received warmly by local villagers
D. arranged to live in a separate house.
