You’ve probably heard of Marco Polo, but how much do you actually know about him and his incredible journey? Marco was the original travel writer, whose trade contacts with Asia changed Europe, opening it up to new ideas and cultures.

Marco Polo was born in the Venetian Republic around 1254．At the time, Venice was one of the most powerful trading cities in the world, and was ruled as an independent city state．Marco’s mother died when he was young, so he was brought up by his aunt and uncle．When Marco was born, his brother (Maffeo) and father (Niccolo), who were successful merchants, were away on a trading voyage．They didn’t get back until Marco was about 15.

In 1271, Niccolo and Maffeo set off again for Asia, this time taking Marco with them．On a previous journey they’d met Kublai Khan (the Yuan Dynasty), and they were keen to establish trade links between Kublai’s empire and Venice．The Polos sailed across the Mediterranean to Acre (now in northern Israel)．Then, they traveled by camel to the port of Hormuz in the Persian Gulf．Their plan was to sail to China but they couldn’t find any good boats．So, they continued the journey overland, finally meeting Kublai Khan at his summer palace in Xanadu, about 275 kms north of modern Beijing．Marco was now probably 21 years ol

The journey had taken over three years.

The Polos had learnt a great deal about the world during their travels and so Kublai employed Marco as a government official．This gave Marco the opportunity to travel around much of Kublai’s empire in China．In fact, Kublai found the Polos so useful that he was unwilling to let them return home．However, in 1292, the Polos eventually left, sailing from China and ending up in Hormuz again．The journey was extremely dangerous: of the 600 travelers who set off, only 18 arrived in Hormuz, including all three of the Polo family．

The Polos finally returned to Venice in 1295, twenty-four years after setting off．They had traveled 24,000 kms．By this time Venice was at war with Genoa, its trade rival．Unfortunately for Marco, he was captured by the Genoese and imprisione

However, he used his time as a prisoner to write a book about his family’s travels: II Milione (known as The Travels of Marco Polo in English)．It was the first book to tell Europeans about China and the East．No original copy survives, but there are several versions of it．Marco’s writings influenced many other travelers, most notably Christopher Columbus, who carried a copy of II Milione with him on his voyage in search of Asia.

After his release from prison in 1299, Marco rejoined his father and uncle in Venice．The family were now even wealthier than before thanks to the many treasures they’d brought back from the East．Marco financed many more trading journeys but never left the city again．He died in 1324 and was buried in the church of San Lorenzo in Venice．

1.What is the correct order of what Marco Polo has done?

a.met Kublai Khan in Xanadu

b.sailed across the Mediterranean

c.sailed for Hormuz

d.left Venice for Asia

e.went to Hormuz by camel

f.employed as a government official in China

A．b-c-d-f-a-c

B．d-c-b-a-f-e

C．b-d-c-f-a-e

D．d-b-e-a-f-c

2.The last paragraph but one mainly tells us something about _____.

A．Marco’s life in Genoa

B．Marco’s book II Milione

C．Marco’s influence on Columbus

D．Marco’s safe return to Venice

3.Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A．Soon after his mother’s death, Marco was raised by his father.

B．Marco spent about six years on the way to China and back to Venice.

C．Marco died at the age of 70 in the church of San Lorenzo in Venice.

D．Marco was born into a very poor family but died in wealth．

A．a newspaper

B．a geography book

请认真阅读下列短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

Amazingly, US crime figures have been falling for 20 years now．Of course, the big question is, why? And can any lessons be learnt?

One reason could be the fall in the demand for the drug crack．During the 1980s, drug-related crimes soared, mostly caused by desperate crack users．However, according to professor Blumstein, co-author of The Crime Drop in America, news of the dangers of crack use caused its decrease and led to a fall in the number of drug-related crimes.

Some say that the adoption of a zero-tolerance policy in many cities has helped lead to a fall in crime．In New York City, for example, mayor Rudy Giuliani imposed strict and automatic punishments for all crimes, including minor offences such as graffiti and littering．Many believe this has had a very strong deterrent(威慑的) effect.

Another reason could be smarter policing strategies．Anti-theft measures and educating the community about car theft has helped see a drop in crimes in many areas．Also, the use of crime mapping schemes that can discover identify crime peaks in different parts of the city has helped police target hotspots.

Another reason could be that more criminals are now behind bars．Sociologist John Conklin (from Tufts University) says a significant factor behind the fall in crime in the 1990s is the simple fact that many criminals are in jail．In his book Why Crime Rages Fell, he says sentencing was merciful in the 1960s and 1970s, when crime rose．But then more prisons were built and more offenders were imprisoned.

Some have linked the fall in violent crime to a decline in children’s exposure to lead in petrol．Jessica Wolpaw Reyes says, “Even low to moderate levels of exposure can lead to behavioral problems, reduced IQ, hyperactivity(多动症) and youth crimes．You can link the decline in lead between 1975 and 1985 to a decline in violent crime 20 years later.”

Others say that the drop in crime has something to do with birth rates．According to statistics, birth rates peaked between 1957 and 1961, and the proportion of men in the US in their late teens and early 20s (the so-called “criminal age”) was highest in the late 70s and early 80s．However, as time went on, the proportion of people in this age group decrease

Others claim that videogames have helpe

A recent study has suggested that these games are keeping young people off the streets and therefore away from crime．Advocates of this argue that any effects the games may have in encouraging violent behavior is offset by the fact that the games keep potential criminals indoors and in front of the television．

Some argue that the widespread use of camera phones makes some criminals think twice before committing a crime and getting filmed doing it．Also, many believe that the mass use of CCTV has also had an effect.

Finally, some say that petty theft just isn’t worth it any more．The resale value of second-hand goods such as televisions, cameras or clothes is now so low (or even non-existent) that most people see no point in stealing．

So, what do you think?

1.By writing this article, the writer intends to tell us _____.

A．the amazing fact that US crime figures are going down

B．the recent statistics showing that crime rates are falling in the US

C．the answers to the question why US crime figures are falling

D．the special policies adopted by the US police that help a drop in crime

2.“Why Crime Rates Fell” is mentioned in the article to tell readers that _____.

A．drug crack can be extremely dangerous

B．crime mapping schemes help the police discover criminals

C．criminals should be strictly sentenced

D．children shouldn’t be allowed to contact lead

3.The sixth reason mentioned in the article implies that _____ tend to commit crimes．

A．children

B．young people

C．the poor

D．crime victims

4.The underlined word “offset” most probably mean _____.

A．reduced

B．caused

C．imposed

D．demanded

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

Patricia was worried．She had a job interview, and she wanted to look good．She decided to get some new clothes．The store owner, Pallas Hansen, helped Patricia find a suit．But when she left the store, she didn’t pay for the suit!

How could Patricia do this? She was in a special store called Career Closet in San Jose, California．Pallas Hansen and Charlotte Krumwiede started this nonprofit store to help women．They knew that many women don’t find jobs because they don’t have the right clothes for a job interview．Women who don’t have a lot of money have to use their money to buy food and clothes for their children．They can’t buy clothes for themselves.

Pallas and Charlotte started the store in 1992 after they heard about a store like this in Chicago．Volunteers work in the store．Working women donate most of the clothes to the store．This makes it possible for the customers at Career Closet to get clothes for free.

Career Closet has helped 2,500 San Jose women, but clothes aren’t the only things women get at the store．They also get confidence．Patricia is 36 years old．Her husband was hurt in an accident, and Patricia needed a job to support her seven children．She went to Career Closet and got a jacket, a skirt, and a blouse．“The whole day made me feel special,” she said．Patricia was a success at her interview, and she got the job．One reason why she got it was that she was wearing the right clothes for the workplace.

Pallas says,” I love this job．Sixty percent of the women get jobs．It’s like being a fairy god-mother.”

1.What do the women get besides clothes at Career Closet?

A．Money

B．Shoes

C．Confidence

D．Chances

2.Where do the clothes at Career Closet come from?

A．Volunteers working in the store

B．Patricia

C．Pallas Hansen and Charlotte Krumwiede

D．Working women

3.We can know from the passage that ____________.

A．women need to wear fashionable dress for work.

B．dressing properly in working place is important.

C．women are trained for the interview in Pallas’s shop.

D．women get the job training in Pallas’s shop.

4.The best title for the passage might be _____.

A．Getting Clothes Free of Charge

B．Fashion

C．Success of women

D．Job Interview

The world is filled with smart, talented and gifted people．We meet them every day．A few days ago, my car was not running well．I pulled it into a garage, and the young mechanic had it fixed within just a few minutes．He knew what was wrong by simply listening to the engine．I was amazed．The sad truth is that only great talent is not enough．

I am often shocked at how little talented people earn．I heard the other day that less than 5 percent of Americans earn more than $100,000 a year．A business consultant (顾问) who specializes in the medical trade was telling me how many doctors and dentists struggle with money．It was this business consultant that gave me the phase, “They are one skill away from great wealth”.

There is an old saying that goes，“Job means ‘just over broke(破产）’”．And unfortunately，I would say that the saying applies to millions of people．Because school does not think financial(财务的）intelligence is intelligence, most workers “live within their means”．They work and they pay the bills．Instead I recommend to young people to seek work for what they will learn, more than what they will earn．

When I ask the classes I teach, “How many of you can cook a better hamburger than McDonald’s?” almost all the students raise their hands．I then ask, “So if most of you can cook a better hamburger, how come McDonald’s makes more money than you?” The answer is obvious: McDonald’s is excellent at business systems．The reason why so many talented people are poor is that they focus on building a better hamburger and know little or nothing about business systems．The world is filled with talented poor people．They focus on perfecting their skills at building a better hamburger rather than the skills of selling and delivering the hamburger．

1.How did the mechanic find the problem in the car?

A．by listening to the engine

B．by listening to what the author said

C．by pulling it to the garage

D．by driving it

2.Why do talented people earn so little according to the author?

A．They have no talents．

B．They have no good skills．

C．They don’t work enough．

D．They don’t have financial intelligence．

3.The success of McDonald's lies in its ．

A．skills at making hamburgers

B．excellent service

C．talented workers

D．good business systems

4.Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A．The world lacks smart, talented and gifted people.

B．The world lacks skilled workers.

C．The world lacks people like McDonald’s.

D．The world lacks excellent doctors and dentists.

Traveling to Cuba as an American is like jumping through hoops(环)．To help you better prepare for your trip，here are what you need to know about traveling to Cuba．

You wilI need to obtain a visa to travel to Cuba．You’11 need to apply for the visa associated with your travel purposes，such as religious or medical travel，family visits，or people-to-people travel，which is the most common type of visa attained by Americans．

Because of the U．S．restriction，banks have not yet been able to establish a foothold in Cuba，meaning it’s a cash—focused country．You can exchange currency at the José Martí International Airport or at your hotel．Keep in mind that there is a 10 percent fee to exchange U．S．currency for Cuban currency．You’11 also want to be sure to carry change for tips．

If you expect to find the blue waters，volcanic landscapes and beautiful villages of other nearby islands，you’11 be disappointed．But beauty is not hard to find here．Old Havana—a UNESCO World Heritage Site—is home to splendid architecture and a bit of paladars(privately owned res—taurants)．Limited economic opportunities have led Cubans to be creative in other ways．You can’t go two blocks without coming across street paintings，art studios and joyful ballet music．
