Well, we are always on the look out for opinions and this week we asked some people what they disliked most about traveling abroad. Here are the most terrible things about travelling around the world. ●Spending Money We all wish travelling will be free but unluckily it isn’t unless you are working abroad. When you have to eat, live and visit places of interest, you will spend a lot of money. ●Language Barrier（障碍） Not being able to communicate is a big problem for a lot of travelers. We suggest you try learning a few local phrases which will really improve your trip and experience, even if it is just the basics. ● ▲ Many people said medical and health concerns, the risk of catching an illness and getting bitten by mosquitoes were top of things to dislike when travelling in some countries. Illnesses like malaria and dengue fever are a common worry when in places like Africa. ●Culture Shock When you go abroad, everything is different from the culture to what you eat and normal everyday things like shopping. Food is unlikely to be what you are used to back home. This is something you will have to get used to. Remember that a foreign country is designed for its own people, not for tourists. You will really improve your experience if you research the place you go to. You will know what to expect and you won’t get any shocks on arrival. 57. According to Paragraph 2, the writer thinks traveling abroad is ________ . A. exciting B. expensive C. cheap D. boring 58. Which can be put back into the “▲”? A. Health B. Preparation C. Distance D. Activities 59. Which is NOT mentioned about culture shock? A. Food. B. Culture. C. Shopping habits. D. Weather. 60. What’s the writer’s suggestion in the last paragraph? A. Avoiding going to a foreign country. B. Never getting surprised at what you see. C. Expecting nothing from your journey. D. Studying the place you will go to carefully. 61.

The old man was used to getting up early every day to do some reading. Jimmy wanted to be like his grandfather, so he tried to do everything his grandfather did. One day, Jimmy said to his grandfather, “I read like you every day but I can’t understand most of the books. If I don’t even understand what I read, what’s the point of reading?” Grandfather passed Jimmy a coal basket, saying, “Go to the river and bring me a basket of water.” Jimmy did so, but when he got home, the basket was empty. Grandfather smiled, “Try again, but this time move faster,” Jimmy agreed. This time he ran faster but the basket was still empty. He knew it would be impossible but he still tried again. This time he ran as fast as he could, but again the basket was empty. Jimmy was very tired. He said to his grandfather, “It’s no use…” Grandfather said, “Look at the basket.” Jimmy looked at the basket and found it cleaner. He saw all the coal stains (污渍) in the basket were gone and the basket was clean inside and outside. Grandfather said, “It’s the same as reading. You may not understand what you read. But it will change you inside out.” 62. How did the writer introduce the topic of this passage? A. By listing some numbers. B. By providing the background. C. By giving an example. D.

The old man was used to getting up early every day to do some reading.”可知，作者通过提供背景开始这篇文章。故选B。 【63题详解】 词义猜测题。根据上文“Go to the river and bring me a basket of water.”可知，设空处指的是吉米这样做了，因此划线词指的是“从河里拿了一篮子水”。故选C。 【64题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其根据爷爷说的“It’s the same as reading. You may not understand what you read. But it will change you inside out.”可知，爷爷通过让吉米用煤篮子打水的方式，告诉他读书的意义，因此爷爷是聪明的。故选A。 【65题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Jimmy did so, but when he got home, the basket was empty.”；“This time he ran faster but the basket was still empty.”以及“This time he ran as fast as he could, but again the basket was empty.”可知，吉米用煤篮子取了三次水。故选C。 【66题详解】 标题归纳题。本文主要讲述了爷爷通过让吉米用煤篮子打水的方式，告诉他读书的意义，因此选项D “一个关于阅读的故事” 适合作为文章标题。故选D。 (D) During the 2016 Rio Olympics, people were surprised to see the round, purple marks on the body of the famous American swimmer Michael Phelps. What happened to him? In fact, he just visited a doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and had “cupping” (拔火罐) . Massage (推拿) and acupuncture (针灸) are two other important kinds of TCM. Chinese massage can make you relaxed and fresh. Acupuncture takes away pain, though the look is funny. TCM is an important part of Chinese culture. The earliest medical classic in China, Huangdi’s Classic on Medicine, came out more than 2, 000 years ago. The book is about the relationship between man and nature. Nature keeps balanced if yin and yang work well together. TCM helps to do that Quit especially, for some health problems, a doctor of TCM will not give you medicine. Instead, he may give you just a food plan and right ways to eat. For example, it is common to eat on the way to school, at our desk, or in front of the TV. But TCM thinks it’s wrong. Here are the correct ways: Sit down to eat. While eating, turn off the TV and get away from the work desk. Eat seasonal foods. Do not miss any of the three meals. Also, get your body moving often. Just as the saying goes, “Running water is never stale.” Nowadays, Traditional Chinese Medicine is becoming more and more popular around the world. A government report says that people in 183 countries and areas are now using TCM. 67. If Mr. Brown is busy with his work and feels very tired these days, which of the following can help him feel relaxed and fresh? A. Cupping B. Massage C. Acupuncture D. Culture 68. Which of the following is right about Huangdi’s Classic on Medicine? A. It came out over 2, 000 years ago. B. It mainly describes how to take medicine. C. It is the greatest medical classic in China. D. It is about the relationship between man and medicine. 69. If you want to stay healthy, what advice will you get from a doctor of TCM? ①Eat on the way to school. ②Eat seasonal foods. ③Get your body moving often. ④Stay up late. A. ①② B. ③④ C. ②③ D. ①④ 70. What does the underlined word “stale” mean? A. Going cold B. Going well C. Going wrong D. Going bad 71. What’s the main idea of the passage? A. The Rio Olympics took place in 2006. B. Massage and Acupuncture are important. C. The story of Michael Phelps is surprising. D. What Traditional Chinese Medicine is. 【答案】67. B 68. A 69. C 70. D 71. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，文章主要介绍了传统中医 (TCM) 的相关信息。 【67题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Chinese massage can make you relaxed and fresh.”可知，如果布朗先生最近工作很忙，感到很累，可以试试做按摩。故选B。 【68题详解】 细节理解题。根据“The earliest medical classic in China, Huangdi’s Classic on Medicine, came out more than 2, 000 years ago.”可知，《黄帝内经》出版于2000多年前。故选A。 【69题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Eat seasonal foods.”以及“Also, get your body moving often.”可知，中医提倡人们吃应季食物，并让你的身体经常活动。故选C。 【70题详解】 词义猜测题。根据“Also, get your body moving often. Just as the saying goes, ‘Running water is never stale’.”可知，后文的话是解释前文的让身体多运动的好处，因此划线词这一句指的是：活水用不“坏”，选项D “变坏” 符合题意。故选D。 【71题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其根据“TCM is an important part of Chinese culture.”以及“Nowadays, Traditional Chinese Medicine is becoming more and more popular around the world. A government report says that people in 183 countries and areas are now using TCM.”可知，文章主要介绍了传统中医(TCM)的相关信息。故选D。 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Friendship is the relationship between persons who can help each other in need and who have much in common.

Well, we are always on the look out for opinions and this week we asked some people what they disliked most about traveling abroad. Here are the most terrible things about travelling around the world. ●Spending Money We all wish travelling will be free but unluckily it isn’t unless you are working abroad. When you have to eat, live and visit places of interest, you will spend a lot of money. ●Language Barrier（障碍） Not being able to communicate is a big problem for a lot of travelers. We suggest you try learning a few local phrases which will really improve your trip and experience, even if it is just the basics. ● ▲ Many people said medical and health concerns, the risk of catching an illness and getting bitten by mosquitoes were top of things to dislike when travelling in some countries. Illnesses like malaria and dengue fever are a common worry when in places like Africa. ●Culture Shock When you go abroad, everything is different from the culture to what you eat and normal everyday things like shopping. Food is unlikely to be what you are used to back home. This is something you will have to get used to. Remember that a foreign country is designed for its own people, not for tourists. You will really improve your experience if you research the place you go to. You will know what to expect and you won’t get any shocks on arrival. 57. According to Paragraph 2, the writer thinks traveling abroad is ________ . A. exciting B. expensive C. cheap D. boring 58. Which can be put back into the “▲”? A. Health B. Preparation C. Distance D. Activities 59. Which is NOT mentioned about culture shock? A. Food. B. Culture. C. Shopping habits. D. Weather. 60. What’s the writer’s suggestion in the last paragraph? A. Avoiding going to a foreign country. B. Never getting surprised at what you see. C. Expecting nothing from your journey. D. Studying the place you will go to carefully. 61. What is the structure（结构）of the text? (①=Para. 1) A. ①/②③④/⑤⑥ B. ①/②③④⑤/⑥ C. ①/②/③④⑤⑥ D. ①②/③/④⑤⑥ (C) A long time ago, there lived an old man and his grandson Jimmy on a mountain farm. The old man was used to getting up early every day to do some reading. Jimmy wanted to be like his grandfather, so he tried to do everything his grandfather did. One day, Jimmy said to his grandfather, “I read like you every day but I can’t understand most of the books. If I don’t even understand what I read, what’s the point of reading?” Grandfather passed Jimmy a coal basket, saying, “Go to the river and bring me a basket of water.” Jimmy did so, but when he got home, the basket was empty. Grandfather smiled, “Try again, but this time move faster,” Jimmy agreed. This time he ran faster but the basket was still empty. He knew it would be impossible but he still tried again. This time he ran as fast as he could, but again the basket was empty. Jimmy was very tired.

(D) During the 2016 Rio Olympics, people were surprised to see the round, purple marks on the body of the famous American swimmer Michael Phelps. What happened to him? In fact, he just visited a doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and had “cupping” (拔火罐) . Massage (推拿) and acupuncture (针灸) are two other important kinds of TCM. Chinese massage can make you relaxed and fresh. Acupuncture takes away pain, though the look is funny. TCM is an important part of Chinese culture. The earliest medical classic in China, Huangdi’s Classic on Medicine, came out more than 2, 000 years ago. The book is about the relationship between man and nature. Nature keeps balanced if yin and yang work well together. TCM helps to do that Quit especially, for some health problems, a doctor of TCM will not give you medicine. Instead, he may give you just a food plan and right ways to eat. For example, it is common to eat on the way to school, at our desk, or in front of the TV. But TCM thinks it’s wrong. Here are the correct ways: Sit down to eat. While eating, turn off the TV and get away from the work desk. Eat seasonal foods. Do not miss any of the three meals. Also, get your body moving often. Just as the saying goes, “Running water is never stale.” Nowadays, Traditional Chinese Medicine is becoming more and more popular around the world. A government report says that people in 183 countries and areas are now using TCM. 67.
