Thousands of tourists have been flooding into this city to experience the magnificence and glory of its scenic spots that have been portrayed in a fascinating manner in the TV series. “In the first week of this month, online enquiries about flight ticket bookings to Xi’an recorded a 130-percent year-on-year peak,” said Ctrip, China’s largest online travel agency. “Xi’an had been a hot tourist destination long before the TV drama became popular. The series portray the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty of Xi’an. This had made the city even more popular. The media exposure makes those sites attractive choices for vacations,” said a senior director at Ctrip. It’s not just Xi’an that is gaining the benefits of exposure via mass media contents. Suzhou, Chongqing and Bayanbulak Grassland have also become go-to destinations for domestic tourists as films such as Pegasus and TV dramas such as All Is Well were set or shot there. This trend of Chinese tourists flooding into places featured in entertainment is extending to even destinations abroad. Southeastern European country Croatia has benefited from the popular Game of Thrones series. In fact, the “Game of Thrones effect” on Croatian tourism and the nation’s economy has been significant, following the screening of the drama over the past eight years. Thailand, Japan, the United Kingdom, the Czech Republic and Iceland have shone as tourist destinations among Chinese travelers, especially the younger lot, thanks to films and TV dramas that were shot there, Ctrip found. Those born in the 1980s account for 32 percent of Chinese travelers. Those born in the 1990s and 2000s make up 27 percent and 13 percent, respectively, according to Ctrip. “They are the main viewers of some popular show. They pay attention to the beautiful scenery as highlighted in entertainment shows. Combined with the impact of top stars in such shows, their fans would like to go on trips to those places. Some even travel while shoots at such places are on.” 24．For the first two paragraphs, we may know that________. A．large cities tend to be the shooting places of films 试卷第 4页，共 8页 B．people like to travel to famous cities for sightseeing C．tourism in Xi’an developed faster via media exposure D．Xi’an has become the hottest tourist spot since the shooting 25．The following destinations catch on for mass media exposure EXCEPT________. A．Chongqing B．Suzhou C．Bayanbulak Grassland D．Zhangjiajie 26．Who make up the majority of the travelers? A．Young people. B．Old folks. C．Film shooters. D．Top stars. 27．Which of the following sentences can best summarize the whole article? A．Popular TV dramas lead to tourism development of Xi’an. B．Shooting places of some popular dramas boost tourism market. C．Tourist industry needs films and entertainment shows to publicize it. D．China is heavily dependent on tourism promoted by films and dramas. C On Wednesday a powerful earthquake hit Amatrice that was at the epicenter(震中), which is the point in the earth’s surface directly above where the earthquake happens. The town’s clock tower was the only building still standing. Italy’s prime minister said the earthquake had killed at least 120 people, and warned that the number might increase. There were several villages that were affected in farther mountainous areas. The earthquake was also felt as far away as Rome, 100 miles from the epicenter. Earthquakes can’t be predicted. There are warning systems that can save some lives, but only under certain conditions. Unlike a tomnado warning where radar can see it and issue a warning before it, an earthquake warning happens when the earth is already shaking. We don’t have a system that can predict when the earth is going to shake. Our warning system is based on the fact that the earth is already shaking. The warning depends on how far you are from the earthquake epicenter. If you’re at an earthquake epicenter, you’re going to get no warning. If you’re far away from the epicenter, we can give you some time to prepare. Another condition is how close the sensor is to the epicenter. If the sensor is 10 miles away from the epicenter, it takes five seconds to get to that sensor. So, the more sensors we get, the more time we’ll get as well. If you get 10 seconds notice of an earthquake that’s happening, especially a big one, you can open up the lifts on the nearest floor. You can also stop all the things that are moving before the shaking gets there. If you’re 30 miles away, your warning could be 15 seconds. It is 15 seconds that can save your life. 28．What can be learned from the first paragraph? A．The earthquake happened on Monday. B．The earthquake destroyed all the buildings. C．Fewer than 120 people lost their lives. D．Rome is about 100 miles away from Amatrice. 29．What can we say about the earthquake warning? A．It can always give us time to prepare. B．It is different from the tornado warning. C．It can tell us how to prepare for the earthquake. D．It can predict when earthquakes will happen. 试卷第 5页，共 8页 30．How far might you be from the epicenter with 10 seconds notice of an earthquake? A．5 miles. B．10 miles. C．20 miles. D．30 miles. 31．What is the best title of the passage? A．A Powerful Earthquake B．The Introduction of the Earthquake Warning C．Earthquakes and Tornados D．How the Earthquake Happens D Recently, 14-year-old Harini Logan won the Scripps National Spelling Bee in the United States. She correctly spelled 22 words during 90 seconds. Most Americans, however, would find it difficult to spell any of these words! From an early age, native English speakers know there are clear differences between how words are pronounced and how they are spelled. But they do not know that the difference is unique to English among major languages. Languages like Italian or Finnish can be spelled more easily because each letter matches to one sound. Students studying these languages can have 90 percent reading accuracy(正确率 ) after the first year. In English, many letters have two or more sounds. This is why even after years of learning, students of English are still far below Italian or Finnish students in reading accuracy. English started as a Germanic language. It is most closely connected to German and Dutch, especially in grammar and basic vocabulary. During the Norman attack in the 12th century, Old English was spoken but French was used in government and legal documents. As a result, more French and Latin words entered the English language. The printing machine was invented in the late 1400s. This helped to establish English spelling and strengthen the connection between how English is spoken and how it is written. The English of today is how the language was written at the time. However, the spoken language started to change in the 1500s with the pronunciation of all long vowels(元音), especially in southern England. For example, the word “bite” was pronounced closer to “beet” in 1400, before changing through the years to its present sound. The effect was that the English language had old spellings, but new sounds. English has 26 letters, but over 44 different sounds depending on the difference of spoken English. There are several sounds from only one letter. For example, the letter “C” can sound like an “S” as in “city.” And it also sounds like a “K” as in “cat.” 32．What is the advantage of Italian compared with English? A．It has simpler sentences. B．It expresses more exactly. C．It is easier to pronounce. D．It’s made up of fewer letters. 33．How did the printing machine affect the English language? A．It established today’s English. B．It made written English simple. C．It changed the spoken language. D．It separated spellings from sounds. 34．What did the spoken language change in the 1500s result in? A．Spellings matched sounds. B．English was easier to learn. C．Old spellings were changed. D．New sounds were formed. 35．Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A．What Is the Best Way to Master English B．Why Spelling in English Is so Difficult 试卷第 6页，共 8页 C．How English Developed into Modern One D．When Letters Started to Have Over One Sound 第二节（共 5小题；每小题 2.5分，满分 12.5分） 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。 Stress is a normal part of life and usually comes from everyday occurrences. 36 ♦ Try physical activity When you are nervous, angry or upset, try releasing the pressure through exercise or physical activity. 37 ♦ 38 You should make every effort to eat well and get enough rest. If you easily get angry and can’t sleep well enough, or if you’re not eating properly, it will be more likely that you will fall into stressful situations. If stress repeatedly keeps you from sleeping, you should consult a doctor. ♦ Make time for yourself Schedule time for both work and entertainment. Don’t forget, play can be just as important to your overall well-being as work. 39 Go window-shopping or work on a hobby. Allow yourself at least a half hour each day to do something you enjoy. ♦ Make a list of things to do Stress can result from disorganization and a feeling that “there’s so much to do, and not enough time”. Trying to take care of everything at once can be too much for you and as a result, you may not achieve anything. 40 Set out to do the most important task first. A．If you feel stress is hard to control, seek professional help. B．Take care of yourself. C．Running, walking, playing tennis, and working in your garden are just some of the activities you might try. D．You need a break from your daily routine to just relax and have fun. E．Instead, make a list of everything you have to do, and then do one thing at a time. F．Here are some ways you can deal with everyday sources of stress. G．Competing with others, whether in accomplishments, appearance, or possessions, is an avoidable source of stress. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分 30分） 第一节（共 15小题；每小题 1分，满分 15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳 选项。 One cold afternoon, Tina saw a newborn bird in her garden.
