When you’re lying on the white sands of the Mexican Riviera, the stresses(壓力) of the world seem a million miles away. Hey, stop! This is no vacation-you have to finish something!
Here lies the problem for travel writer and tood critic(評(píng)論家),Edie Jarolim “I always loved traveling and always liked to eat, but it never occurred to me that I could make money doing both of those things,” Jarolim said. Now you can read her travel advice everywhere in Arts and Antiques, in Brides, or in one of her there books, The Complate Idiot’s Travel Guide to Mexican Beach Resarts.
……writing began some eight years ago. After getting a PhD in English in Canada, she took a Test Frommer’s travel guides, passed it, and got the job. After working at Frommer’s, Jarolim workedfor a while at Rough Guides in London, then Fodor’s, where she fell so in love with a description of the Southwest of the U. S. that she moved there.
Now as a travel writer, she spends one-third of her year on the road. The rest of the time is spent completing her tasks and writing reviews of restaurants at home in Tucson, Arigona.
As adventurous as the job sounds, the hard part is fact-checking all the information. Sure, it’s great to write about a tourist attraction, but you’d better get the local(當(dāng)?shù)氐?museum hours correct or you could really ruin someone’s vacation.
46. Which country does Jarolim live in now?
A.Mexico B.The U. S. C.The U. K. D.Canada
47. What is most difficrlt for Jarolim?
A.Working in different places to collect information
B.Checking all the facts to be written in the guides
C.Finishing her work as soon as possible
D.Passing a test to write travel guides
48. What do we know about Jarllim from the text?
A.She is successful in her job
B.She finds her life full of stresses
C.She spends half of her time traveling
D.She is especially interested in museums
49. What would be the best title for the text?
A.Adventures in Travel Writing
B.Working as a Food Critic
C.Travel Guides on the Market
D.Vacationing for a Living
B篇閱讀理解的文字風(fēng)格略顯詼諧,Hi, stop! 但有實(shí)際的描述了一個(gè)很普遍的謀生問題:謀生在Jarolim身上既是度假休閑,又是寫作和評(píng)論的源泉。這是一篇展示生活的文章。
從文字設(shè)計(jì)上看,影響考生理解完整意思的因素可能是專有名詞和對(duì)話的插入,但是如果避開障礙,處理好這些內(nèi)容,整篇文章文字比較通順流暢。難度并不大。但是在47、48題的理解上,部分考生會(huì)出現(xiàn)問題。
46. 答案:B
考點(diǎn)::考查細(xì)節(jié)

解析:提示在文章第一段結(jié)尾句“Hey, stop! This is no vacation-you have to finish something!”和第二段第二句“but it never occurred to me that I could make money doing both of those things,”說明了沒有想到“度假也可以謀生”的欣喜之情。
C
Thousands of people living in the Chinese eapital will celebrate the start of the Chinese New Year by heading for the ski resorts(滑雪場(chǎng)). Never mind that Beijing’s dry weather seldom produces now. It is cold enough in winter for snow-making machines to make a covering for the hills north to the capital. And the rapid growth of a pleasure-seeking middle class has formed the basis for this New craze(熱潮).
Since Beijing’s first ski resort was opened ten years ago, the sport has enjoyed an astonishing increase. There are now more than a dozen resorts. Clothes markets in the city have added bright colored ski suits to their winter collections. Mr. Wei, a manager of a newly-opened ski resort in Beijing, sees the growth of an industry that could soon lead Chinese to head for the ski resorts of Europe. In recent years ski resorts offering natural snow have opened in China. But many are in faraway areas of the country and can’t really match the equipment and services of some ski resorts in Europe.
Beijing’s sking craze is partly a result of the recent increase in private(私有的)cars. This has led to the growth of a leisure industry in the capital’s suburbs(郊區(qū)). which until the late-1990s were unreachable to ordinary people. According to Mr. Wei,About 40%of the visitors to his resort some in their own cars. The rest are bused in by schools, businesses or government offices.
The problem is making money. Starting ski resorturequires quite a lot of money:hiring land from the local government,preparing the hills,buying snow machines,making sure there are enough water and electricity to run them,and buying ski equipment for hiring out to customers. The ski resort where Mr. Wei works cost nearly $4m to set up. And,as so often in China when someone comes up with a good idea,many others rush in and price wars break out. Beijing now offers some of the cheapest ski training classes in the world,though with most people rather new to the sport, expecting a few more doing the same job.
50. What does this text mainly talk about?
A.Convenience for skiers brought about by private cars
B.Skiing as a new way of enjoying one’s spare time
C.Things to be considered when starting a ski resort
D.A sudden increase of ski training classes in Beijing
51. Why are some Chinese likely to go skiing in Burope?
A.To visit more ski areas
B.To ski on natrual snow
C.For a large collection of ski suits
D.For better services and equipment
52. The underlined words”leisure industry”in Paragraph 3 refer to
A.transport to ski resorts
B.production of familycars
C.business of providing spare time enjoyments
D.part-time work for people living in the suburbs
53. What is the main problem in running a ski resort?
A.Difficulty in hiring land
B.Lack of business experience
C.……ski resorts.
D.Shortage of water and electricity

52. 答案:C
考點(diǎn)::詞義推測(cè)
解析:承接上文“the rapid growth of a pleasure-seeking middle class…”;下文“the sport has enjoyed an astonishing increase”可知。第50題的選項(xiàng)B “…a new way of enjoying one’s spare time”中也暗示了這是一個(gè)提供娛樂的行業(yè)
53 答案:C

How words came into being is unknown. All we assume is that some early men invented cortain sounds,in one way or another,to express thoughts and feelings,actions and things,so that they could talk with each other. Later they agreed upon certain signs,called letters,which could be put together to show those sounds,and which could be written down. Those sounds,whether spoken or written in letters,are called words.
The power of words,then,lies in their associations-the things they bring up to our minds. Words become filled with meaning for us by experience;and the longer we live,the more certain words bring back to us the happy and sad events of our past;and the more we read and learn,the more the number of words that mean something to us increases.
Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words which have powerful effects on our minds and feelings. This clever use of words is what we call literary style. Above all,the real poet is a master of words. He can express his meaning in words which sing like music,and which by their position and association can move men to tears. We should therefore learn to choose our words carefully and use then correctly,or they will make our speech silly and common.
58. We learn from the text that language might have begun with( )
A.expressions B.a(chǎn)ctions C.signs D.sounds
59. What is mainly discussed in Faragraph 2?
A.The ……of new words B.The importance of old words
C.The relation of human experience with words
D.The gradual change and development of words

A.Use words skilfully B.Make musical speeches
C.Learn poems by heart D.Associate with listeners

解析:第二段首句“The power of words,then,lies in their associations-the things they bring up to our minds. ”The relation等同于文中的associations
