Washington Sightseeing Guide

White House—Public tours of the White House have been offered since Thomas Jefferson was president, but you can’t just drop in. Visits to the White House are in high demand, and you must make your request through your member of Congress(国会) , which usually takes up to six months, and no fewer than 21 days. Be sure to check the White House tour-info Web site to make sure about the personal identification you’ll need. And before the day of your visit, call 202-456-7041 to confirm the tour schedule.

Lincoln’s Cottage –Lincoln’s Cottage, the hilltop home where President Lincoln lived during part of the Civil War, is simply furnished but features lighting effects and actors’ recordings that reveal（揭示）Lincoln’s thoughts on slavery and the war. “In the library you can actually see the ghost lines of where the library shelves would have been,” says cottage director Erin Carlson Mast. “We haven’t re-created the bookshelves because that was such an amazing moment of discovery for us that we wanted to preserve that so people can have that moment of discovery themselves.”

Library of Congress –The Library of Congress is housed in three buildings: the Thomas Jefferson Building, James Madison Memorial Building and the John Adams Building. Although trying to see all of it in one day is possible, it’s probably best to do a little thinking ahead and figure out which areas you’d really like to explore (i.e. when your feet start to hurt, you won’t feel so bad abo ut not catching everything). The most popular visitor destination is the Thomas Jefferson Building, but there are things worth seeing—murals(壁

画), sculptures, performances—elsewhere in the complex.

21. Which is true about the White House?

A. It is a new tourist attraction.

B. It is open only to members of Congress.

C. A reservation for a visit is required.

D. You should call 202-456-7041 during your visit.

22. In Lincoln’s Cottage, you can ______.

A. see actors giving performances

B. see the bookshelves in the study

C. hear the recorded voice of Lincoln

D. learn about Lincoln’s opinions on slavery

23. The paragraph about the Library of Congress implies that ______.

A. there is so much to see there

B. there are so many visitors there

C. you needn’t spend so m uch time there

D. you should drive there instead of walking

B

Not having done physical exercise for some time, I found myself a little low-spirited and couldn’t study efficiently, so I decided to do some running the next day. At 6:15 the next morning, my alarm clock rang. Unwilling to rise from my bed, I turned it off and went back to sleep. However, 5 minutes later, I struggled to get up. After washing and brushing, I had my sneakers on and went out.

Wow! The air was so fresh that I couldn’t help breathin g it deeply. I stretched my arms and legs, and then started to run. I found all things around me were so attractive. Look, the branches were waving, as if they were welcoming me; the blossoming flowers were bowing, with shyness, just like girls. Listen, th e wind was whispering, as if to say “come on, girl.” What’s more interesting was those two birds, perching(栖息) in the tree. They were scared and flew away when I passed them. “Hey, chaps, relax.” I shouted without

stopping running. “Let’s enjoy the beautiful morning together!” Then miracle(奇迹) happened. The two little creatures seemed to understand what I said. They turned back and twittered(吱吱叫) around me. “Are you singing for me?” I asked. They twittered again and again, sounded like “Yes”. I was delighted to hear that. Ah, what a wonderful morning and how beautiful life is!

Actually, there are a lot of charming things around us. Helen Keller wrote in her famous article Three Days to See, “The seeing see little”. Indeed, many of us ignore the beauty around us, just because we are familiar with them. They always complain that life is boring. But, I just want to say, if you live each day with appreciation of things around, you’ll find life is very charming. So, let’s enjoy life from now on.

24. According to the passage, the writer went running with the purpose of _____.

A. seeing the beauty of nature

B. making herself more active

C. talking with birds

D. breathing fresh air

25. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?

A. The writer rose immediately after the clock went off.

B. The writer enjoyed the singing of the two birds.

C. The writer did some warm-up exercises before running.

D. The writer felt refreshed after doing some running in the morning.

26. What does the underlined sentence “The seeing see little” in the last paragraph mean?

A. Those who go out only see little things.

B. Those who can see enjoy nature much more than the blind.

C. People who go sight-seeing can see little.

D. People who can see hardly find the beauty of nature.

27. The purpose of the writer in writing this passage is to tell us that _____.

A. nature in the morning is very beautiful

B. fresh air is beneficial

C. we should appreciate the beautiful things in life

D. physical exercise is useful

C

South Korea is reducing its maximum working week from 68 hours to 52 hours in a law to promote the country’s producti vity and the number of children being born.

In March, South Korea's National Assembly passed a law that will give a great amount of its workforce a well-deserved break. It is the developed nation with the longest working hours, according to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD).

As the spokesman of the government puts it, this new law will come into force in July 2018, although initially it will only apply to large companies before reaching smaller businesses. Despite opposition from the business community, the South Korean government believes the law is necessary to improve living standards, create more jobs and promote productivity.

The South Korean government also believes it could even increase the country's birth rate, which has decreased greatly in the last few decades. South Korea has currently longer working hours than any other developed country: an average of 2,069 hours per year, per worker, according to 2016 data collected by the OECD.

The analysis covered 38 countries and showed that only Mexicans (2,225 hours/year) and Costa Ricans (2,212 hours/year) worked longer hours.

South Koreans revealed a global trend(趋势): studies carried out by the International Labor Organization (ILO) show that lower and middle-income countries tend to work longer hours than richer countries, because of a series of factors such as the percentage of self-employed workers ,lower wages, job insecurity, cultural issues etc.

According to ILO’s most recent figures, Asia is a continent where more peo ple work the longest hours: most of the countries (32%) have no universal national limit for maximum weekly working hours and another 29% have high thresholds (60 weekly hours or more). And only 4% of the countries set the international labour standards of a maximum of 48 hours or fewer for the working week.

28. Which is NOT the purpose of the law?

A. to promote the productivity.

B. to improve living standards.

C. to increase the birth rate.

D. to meet the demand of large companies.

29. What does the underl ined word “it” in paragraph 3 refer to?

A. the new law

B. an international organization

C. South Korea government

D. South Korea's National Assembly

30. Which might be the reason why lower and middle-income countries tend to work longer hours than rich countries?

A. There are as many self-employed workers in rich countries as in developing countries.

B. Workers in lower and middle-income countries are usually well-paid.

C. Lower and middle-income countries have different cultures.

D. Jobs are hard to get in rich countries.

31. What can we infer from the passage?

A. South Korea workers work longer hours than any other country.

B. The law is well received by both large companies and small ones in South Korea.

C. Costa Rica is a developed nation.

D. Few countries in Asia meet the international labour standards of working hours.

D

Thanks to this new hands free suitcase, carrying around heavy luggage may soon become a thing of the past. Designed by Israeli company NUA Robotics, this “smart” suitcase can follow you everywhere you go.

The carry-on suitcase, currently a prototype(雏形), connects to a smartphone app via Bluetooth. It has a built-in camera sensor that can “see” you and follow you around on flat surfaces like airport floors. It comes with an anti-theft alarm to prevent someone

carrying it away when you’re not looking, and it has a backup(备用) battery that you can use to charge all your devices.

“It can follow and carry things for people around while communicating with their smartphone, and avoiding obstacles, ”explained Alex Libman, founder of NUA Robotics. “We’re combin ing sensor network, computer vision, and robotics. So if you download our app, press the ‘follow me’ button, the luggage recognizes its user and knows to follow and communicate.”

NUA is still testing the device and trying to improve features like speed and customization(客户定制), but they hope to make the suitcase available to customers in a year’s time. If it proves successful, they want to use the Bluetooth pairing technology to automate lots of other devices, like shopping carts at the supermarket. These devices are especially meant to be useful to the physically disabled and elderly. “Any object can be smart and robotic,” Libman told Mashable. “We want to bring robots into everyday life.”

The Israeli tech company made it clear that the finished product will look just like a regular suitcase. They’re planning to partner with a carry-on luggage maker, since the device that makes it “smart” weighs just 2.5 pounds and can be fitted on old-fashion luggage.

With NUA’S smart suitcase, carrying around heavy luggage isn’t a burden. But how their invention will handle tough obstacles like stairs? It will be interesting to wait.

32. According to the passage the “smart” suitcase_______.

A. can go everywhere

B. is on sale now

C. can make our hands free during traveling

D. was designed by Alex Libman

33. If you want to use this free hand suitcase, you must_____.

A. download the app

B. avoid obstacles

C. look at it all the time

D. carry a camera

34. What can we learn about NUA?

A. It was founded by Mashable.

B. It has improved the features of the device.

C. It wants to bring more smart and robotic devices into everyday life.

D. It will make the suitcase available to customers in a month.

35. Where is the article probably from?

A. A textbook.

B. A poster.

C. A biography.

D. A website.

The possibility of being in a plane crash is one in 5.4 million—but that doesn’t stop millions of people being terrified of flying.

According to Dave Inch, a pilot of a Boeing 787, there are a lot of things you can do to make sure you survive a plane crash. 36

First of all, passengers should secure their general person in preparation for a crash landing. He said: “Remove everything sharp from your pockets, remove your tie or scarf and remove high heeled shoes. 37 Know where your closest exit is.”

Even though there is likely to be an air of panic in the cabin, Mr. Inch says that it is important to listen to the flight attendant instructions. He said, “If everyone is on the same page and understands what is expected of them, people will be working together to get everyone out. 38 Listen and pay attention. If you die because you were more interested in taking a video than paying attention, it’s not so cool.”

39 Mr. Inch said, “Stay in your seat. Do not open a door or window exit without direct instructions from a flight attendant. If it’s a water landing, do not inflate (充气) your life vest (救生衣) until you are at the doorway—if you inflate it and the plane fills with water, you will get trapped on the ceiling. 40 Life vests easily keep 2 people afloat.”

A. Take glasses off for landing.

B. Keep calm and be patient enough for the rescue.

C. Don’t waste your time taking video with your camera.

D. Use a piece of wet cloth to assist in breathing if there is smoke.

E. What a passenger does before a plane crashes could be very important.

F. If this happens, get out of your life vest and swim out to hang onto someone.

G. After the plane has landed, travelers should wait in their seat until instructed. 第三部分语言知识运用（共两节，满分45分）
