(B) Recently, a new kind of tourism has begun in China, called “special forces style tourism (特种兵式旅游)”. It features visiting many places of interest in a short period, most often on weekends. Most of these visitors are college students. Yu Yinghua in Shanghai Lixin University is one of them. The 22-year-old started her tour in March after being deeply touched by such experiences of Xiaohongshu travel bloggers (博主). “Tapped in school for almost 3 years, I’m now hungry to take trips,” said Yu. ① Most of her trips were started from her daily life, such as a chat with friends. “But making a plan carefully for the trip is 八年级英语 （第 5 页 共 8 页） important,” Yu said. She found lots of information before travelling. That would help save time when travelling and enjoy the places better. ② Her last trip was to Shanghai. Starting at 7 am, the 22-year-old visited nine local places. “That day, I walked almost 30,000 steps,” Yu said, “Although it’s a bit tiring, I enjoy this trip as much as days-long trips.” ③ Unlike Yu travelling in nearby cities, Chen Junjun, a doctoral (博士学位的) student in Shanghai, likes to travel far to get herself free from schoolwork. In April, the 24-year-old took a two-day trip to Xi’an, Shaanxi. During her trip, she visited all the famous places in the city. “Such a trip can bring a bright colour to my busy life!” said Chen. ④ “It’s labor-consuming (消耗体力的).Visitors try to see as many places as possible in a short period,” Chen said. In some ways, such trips are not as flexible (灵活的) as days-long trips because you can’t change your plan. “So, enough energy and a clear mind are necessary for this tour,” said Chen. 49. Which of the following examples is a kind of “special forces style tourism”? A. John, a manager in a company, travels to Suzhou with his wife for about a month. B. Lucy, a primary school student, travels to Nanjing with her classmates on Friday. C. Mike, a college student, travels to many places in Hangzhou with his friend on Saturday. D. Mary, a high school teacher, travels to Hainan with her husband during summer holiday. 50. The sentence “But such kind of tourism may not be proper for everyone.” should be put in ______. A. ① B.② C. ③ D. ④ 51. Where may this passage come from? A. A comic book. B. A novel report. C. A film review. D. A travel magazine. (C) “It must be perfect,” Karie double-checked the words on her spelling test before handing in her paper. She got 100 percent today she’d win her class’s First-Quarter Spelling Challenge (挑 战) along with a new dictionary and other cool things. What’s more, Ms. McCormack had told us she would do a handstand (倒立) if anyone got a perfect score. After the break, Ms. McConnack walked to the front of the room and cleared her throat (嗓 子). “Congratulations, Karie! You did it!” She said while doing a handstand. The whole class cheered. Ms. McCormack gave her prize to Karie. Karie smiled as she read the words on the box: To Karie Carter For her perfect first-quarter score in spelling. “Mum, everything’s so perfect!” As soon as Kaire was at home, she showed Mum her spelling test and prize. “Every word is so perfect! Nicely, honestly...” Karie’s stomach turntabled (翻滚). H-O-N-E-S-L-Y! Not honesly! “Karie, what’s the matter?” said Mum. “I don’t feel so good, ” Karie said, stuffing the test paper into her schoolbag. Karie walked slowly down the hall and fell onto her bed. How could she tell the class she hadn’t won the prize after all? McCormack did the handstand for nothing? Soon Karie heard her dad and Kevin come in. The smell of pizza from the kitchen was all over the air. Karie thought back to the last time they’d picked up pizza. They had almost reached home when Mom realized the shopkeeper had given them too much change. “Let’s turn around,” Mom had said. McCormack was unlocking the classroom door when Karie got to school the next morning. She gave her teacher the spelling paper and the dictionary. “I can’t keep this. I misspelled honestly and you didn’t catch it.” For a moment, McCormack stood quietly reading the words on the paper. Then she picked up her pen. She crossed out the word perfect and wrote honest before handing the dictionary back to Karie. 八年级英语 （第 6 页 共 8 页） Karie’s jaw (下巴) dropped. “I get to keep this? Honestly?” “For honestly, no.” “But for honesty, yes.” 52. How did Karie feel when she handed in her paper after the test? A. Calm. B. Bored. C. Confident. D. Worried. 53.

McCormack was sure that someone would get a perfect score. D. McCormack didn’t do a handstand because of Karie’s mistake. 54. Which of the following shows the correct time order of the events? a.

D. c-b-a-d. 55. Which can be the best title (标题) of the passage? A. A Perfect Girl B. A Helpful Teacher C. An Important Test D. An Honest Mistake (D) 阅读以下内容,从其后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项, 有两项是多余的。 Usually great people encourage themselves and everyone around them toward better things.
