（共15小题，每小题2分，满分30分）[A]International tourism is becoming more and more popular. Large numbers of people from all over the world come to visit famous places, such as the Great Wall of China and the Sistine Chapel(西斯廷教堂)in Vatican City. These visitors contribute a lot to the local development, but at the same time they have caused many problems. They’ve thrown rubbish everywhere, brought more traffic and even done serious damage(破坏)to these places.As for the damage, there are many different causes. For example, the paintings in the Sistine Chapel are being damaged because people breathe onto them when they visit. Damage in other places such as the Great Wall in serious partly because tourists climb on delicate(脆弱的)areas. Even though some of the walls were built of stone, after so many years, they are already in poor condition and need to be rebuilt.What can we do to deal with these problems? On the one hand, we have to cut down tourist numbers, because fewer visitors will result in less damage. On the other hand, we should make strict rules about which areas people can visit and what they can do when they get there. For example, special paths(路径) can be built and people will not be allowed to walk off the paths, Visitors to indoor places can be asked to wear masks(面罩) to protect the paintings.It is necessary to control tourism at famous places. If we do not do this, these places will disappear from our planet. Ant people who live hundreds of years later will have no chance to see these great places.( )21. What does the underlined word “contribute” in Paragraph I mean in Chinese?A. 修复.B. 改革.C. 受益.D. 贡献.( )22. What causes the Sistine Chapel to be damaged?A. People’s writing their names on its walls.B. People’s breathing onto the paintings.C. People’s drawing on the paintings.D. People’s climbing up its walls.( )23. What is the writer’s purpose of writing this passage?A. To predict the future of famous places.B. To ask people to travel less during holidays.C. To call on people to protect famous places.D. To explain why international tourism is popular.[B]Visiting the Louvre(贞浮宫)is a special experience, but you need to know whereto start. The first thing to know is that it’s huge and you can’t hope to see everything in a day. You get a map of the museum with your entrance ticket(门票).You can’t visit the Louver and not see the Mona Lisa. My advice would be to see it first, though you may have to run to avoid the crowds! When you’ve done that, use the map to look for the galleries(展览馆)that sound most interesting to you, and spend the morning visiting them, when you have plenty of energy. Then you can have some lunch at one of the cafes, and spend the afternoon relaxing and finding surprises without looking at your map. The beauty of any museum or gallery is personal discovery.You can pay to borrow an audio guide(语音导览), which is very useful and worth the money. You have to leave a credit card(信用卡)or passport. There are several places offering audio guides. You need to remember which one you got it from, because you must return it to the same one to get your credit card or passport back. The Louvre is made up of many “wings” with names and the audio guides are at the entrance to each wing.Finally ,the easiest way to enter the Louvre is from the underground entrance, rather than from the street, as the lines are shorter.( )24. What can we learn from the first paragraph?A. The Louvre is very big.B. The Louvre entrance ticket is expensive.C. You can see everything in the Louvre in a day if you plan wisely.D. You can get a map of the Louvre in any language with your entrance ticket . ( )25. What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. Entering the Louvre.B. Avoiding the crowds.C. Seeing the Mona Lisa.D. Buying the entrance ticket.( )26. What does Paragraph 3 mainly tell us?.A. Where you can buy gifts.B. How to save money in the Louver.C. How to get an audio guide.D. What to do if you lose your passport. ( )27. The writer advises us to enter the Louvre from the underground entrance because .A. it is safer.B. it takes less time.C. it offers audio guides.D. it is near the Mona Lisa.[C]Can you imagine having sheep in your living moon as furniture? Or having a huge paining of candy hanging on your bedroom wall? There were just some of the art things that were on display(展览) at Christie’s Art Auction (拍卖) House in New York City.On November 11, 2012, Christie’s Art Auction House hosted a special Kid s’ Day. Lots of kids came to create art and to learn about famous artists. Natasha Schlesinger led a tour for all the attendees(出席者). Schlesinger is the founder of a program called Art Muse that creates educational art tours especially for kids. She taught us all about some of America’s greatest artists, including Andy Warhol. “He was one of theart super stars, ” Schlesinger said. “He truly loved America. ” Warhol painted things that he loved about his country. He also loved to take photographs. He could be called a pop star of art! On this day, Andy Warhol’s silkscreen of the Statue of Liberty was one of the day’s main attractions.We also saw a series of sculptures(雕刻) by Alexander Calder. His works of art included the spinning(纺纱) design that you would usually find hanging over baby cradles. He was also interested in stars and created his sculptures after them.Christie’s gets their pieces from owners and from people who live on selling artworks and even houses.

Because it wants people to enjoy them for many years.D. Because it wants people to buy them.[D]Even in early times, people could realize the importance of dreams and knew that dreams gave meaning to life. Every great achievement has been the result of years of dreaming. If a person has a dream and holds fast to it, he or she will find a way to bring it into reality(现实).Children do not have much experience or knowledge. However, they are natural dreamers. We should not laugh at them for being naive. With their rich imagination, they will come up with fantastic dreams. History is full of examples. Many great men were dreamers when they were children. One such dreamer was Thomas Edison. He was weak in his subjects when he was in primary school, but his achievements were greater than everyone else’s in his time.Teenagers and young people should also be encouraged to dream. The world is full of successful teenagers and young people. Their dreams may change their life and even the world. Steve Jobs and Bill Gates are two good examples. They have developed technology and brought great progress to humans besides making money for themselves.Old people should believe that it is never too late to dream and that human mind is never too old to make dreams turn into reality. Colonel Saunders realized his dream at the age of 67 and set up the biggest fried chicken company (KFC) in the world.To dream is a wonderful ability which can lead to wonderful results. Olympic records were broken by players who were brave enough to dream. No one is too young or too old to dream and to make dreams come true.( )32.
