AIf you've been to Europe a few times already, chances are that you've hit all the big destinations: London, Paris, Rome, or Berlin. On your next trip you can either visit those same cities a second time, or instead you can take a chance and walk the streets of some cities that are a little bit smaller, a little bit less famous, but still full of European grace and charm. Here are four European cities to visit that you probably haven't been to yet.Besancon, FranceThis hidden French city has had a long reputation for being a well-kept secret. It can be at once sleepy with few tourists but abundant galleries, restaurants, and a wonderful Beaux Arts museum whose collection is second only to the Louvre. The city is wound by the River Doubs and also is very proud of its own UNESCO World Heritage Site in the Citadel, home to several small museums and a zoo.Seville, SpainFor the tourist who is already tired of Barcelona and Madrid, Seville offers a different taste on Spain. Located on the Southern coast, it keeps beautiful signs of the long period of Moorish rule, nowhere more than in the Alcázar palace building, just one of the city's UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Seville has over a dozen museums,tropical parkland, and probably the best tapas (餐前小吃) culture in all of Spain.Ghent, BelgiumGhent is a city that looks like it should be the setting for a fairy tale. All of the classic Belgium features can be found here — waffles and beer. Every year from Saturday before July 21, Ghent hosts a ten-day festival. This music and theater festival draws almost 2 million visitors, as the city streets transform into performance spaces for performers, and musicians.Palermo, ItalyPalermo is the capital city of Sicily, the southern island off the coast of mainland Italy. The city has an ancient history, and the various cultures that have controlled the island through the years have all left their marks on it. You can see winding street markets, antique fairs, and open air nightclubs here.21. Where can visitors enjoy art collections quietly?A. Besancon.B. Barcelona.C. Ghent.D. Palermo.22. Which country should a music and theater lover choose to visit?A. France.B. Spain.C. Belgium.D. Italy.23. What do the four European cities have in common?A. They were once ruled by various rulers.B. They are less famous but worth a visit.C. Visitors can enjoy seeing performances.D. They're all UNESCO World Heritage Sites.BYou are given many opportunities in life to choose to be a victim or creator. When you choose to be a victim, the world is a cold and difficult place. “They” did things to you which caused all of your pain and suffering. “They” are wrong and bad, and life is terrible as long as “they” are around. Or you may blame yourself for all your problems, thus internalizing(内化)your victimization. The truth is, your life is likely to stay that way as long as you feel a need to blame yourself or others.Those who choose to be creators look at life quite differently. They know thereare individuals who might like to cont rol their lives, but they don’t let this get in the way. They know they have their weaknesses, yet they don’t blame themselves when they fail. Whatever happens, they have choice in the matter. They believe their dance with each sacred(神圣的)moment of life is a gift and that storms are a natural part of life which can bring the rain needed for emotional and spiritual growth.Victims and creators live in the same physical world and deal with many of the same physical realities, yet their experience of life is worlds apart. Victims relish (沉溺)in anger, guilt, and other emotions that cause others---and even themselves---to feel like victims, too. Creators consciously choose love, inspiration, and other qualities which inspire not only themselves, but all around them. Both victims and creators always have choice to determine the direction of their lives.In reality, all of us play the victim or the creator at various points in our lives. One person, on losing a job or a special relationship, may feel as if it is the end of the world and sink into terrible suffering for months, years, or even a lifetime. Another with the same experience may choose to first experience the grief, then accept the loss and soon move on to be a powerful creative force in his life.In every moment and every circumstance, you can choose to have fuller, richer life by setting a clear intention to transform the victim within, and by inviting into your life the powerful creator that you are.24. According to Paragraph 2,creators ________.A. seem willing to experience failures in lifeB. possess the ability to predict future lifeC. handle ups and downs of life wiselyD. have potential to create something new25. What can we learn from Paragraph 3?A. Creators and victims face quite different things in life.B. Creators and victims are masters of their lives.C. Victims can influence more people than creators.D. Compared with victims, creators are more emotional.26. The examples mentioned in Paragraph 4 show that ________.A. strong attachment to sufferings in life pulls people into victims.B. people need family support to deal with challengers in life.C. it takes creators quite a long time to get rid of their pains.D. one’s experiences determine his attitude toward life.27. What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage?A. To introduce what victims are suffering.B. To protect victims against creators.C. To explain the relationship between victims and creators.D. To suggest the transformation from victims to creators.CWhy does time speed up as you age but slow down when you're scared? And why does it warp(弯曲) when you are on holiday?As Albert Einstein once said, time only exists so that everything doesn't happen at once. But the problem of it passing too slowly or quickly has now been examined by psychologist, Claudia Hammond, who looked at how our emotions, health, and age can affect the speed of the time in our minds.Ms. Hammond found that time speeds up as you get older and passes faster if you are relaxed rather than scared. Her book, Them Warped, also explains how time passes twice as fast if you are in amusing company, rather than with someone who is boring.She also studied French explorer, Michael Suffer, who in 1962 spent two months living in an underground cave to discover how isolation from the out, clocks and routines would affect him. He completely lost track of time while in the cave and his waking days lasted from 6 to 40 hours, but the average length was the same time as the length of a day on earth—24 hour.Ms. Hammond also studied how fear or hearing somebody crying can slow down time, and said that half of people believe time is moving towards us, while everyone else sees themselves moving through it. "People always believe they will have more freetime in the future," she said, adding that there are plenty of practical methods for ensuring that we can try our best to accurately estimate our schedules. But while we may spend much of our lives worrying about time, there is, surprisingly, no single part of the brain for specifically measuring the passing of minutes and hours, Ms. Hammond concluded."Human beings tending to process events in three-second intervals(间隔)一such as how long it takes to complete a handshake or scan the headlines of a newspaper page—compare it to the clock time," she said.28. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Time goes much faster when people are growing up.B. People's feeling about time passing is affected by their emotions, health and age.C. Einstein has explained why time passes at different speeds.D. The speed of time is affected by only three factors.29. What can we learn from the example of Michael Suffer?A. People can keep awake for no less than 6 hours.B. Daylight affects people's waking time more than anything else.C. Time speeds up when people are in darkness.D. People's sense of time can be affected by daylight.30. In paragraph 5 Ms. Hammond found that .A. negative emotions could slow down timeB. no simple part of the human brain measures timeC. people cannot estimate their schedules accuratelyD. most people worry there will be not enough free time in the future31. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. Three second intervals are common in handshakes.B. People's rhythms of speech are all the same.C. People tend to measure time in terms of short small actions.D. Clock times lead to the rhythm of people's handshakes.DA food additive (添加剂) is any substance that is added to food. Many people are put off by the idea of “chemicals in food.” The truth is that all food is made up of chemicals. Natural substances like milk, as well as man-made ones like drinks on sale in the market, can be described by chemical formulas. Some chemical substances are indeed harmful, but a person who refused to consume any chemicals would find nothing to eat.The things we eat can be divided into natural and man-made substances. Some people feel that only natural foods are healthy and that all man-made ingredients are to be avoided. But many natural chemicals, found in plants and animals, are harmful when eaten, and some laboratory-made substances increase the nutritional value of food. Other chemicals have natural and man-made forms that are exactly alike: vitamin C is vitamin C, whether it comes from a test tube or from an orange. Like “chemical”, “man-made” doesn’t necessarily mean “not fit to eat”.Food additives are used for many reasons. We add sugar and salt and other things to foods we prepare at home to make them taste better. Food producers have developed a range of additives that stabilize, thicken, harden, keep wet, keep firm, or improve the appearance of their products. Additives can make food more convenient or nutritious, give it a longer shelf life, and make it more attractive to the consumer, thus increasing the sales and profits of the producers.Food additives are presently the centre of a storm of serious argument. Food producers have been known to use additives that have not been proved safe; some substances in common use have been proved unsafe and have been taken off the market. Many people feel there’s a risk of eating food to which anything has been added. But food additives are now regulated by the FDA of the federal government, and new additives will go through strict testing before they can be placed on the market. For most people, the chances of developing serious side effects (副作用) from the long-term use of presently approved (批准) food additives are very small. 32．From the passage we can learn that .A．natural foods are much safer than man-made onesB．it is right to refuse chemicals in foodC．food additives are harmful to our healthD．all foods have chemical substances33．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A．Food additives can improve the quality of foods in many ways.B．To ensure food safety, the FDA will stop food additives.C．Foods free of additives can keep a much longer shelf life.D．Foods with more additives have higher nutritional value.34．We can infer from the regulation to the food additives by the FDA that . A．new additives will be approved(批准，赞成） more easily than before B．food with common-used additives will be taken off the marketC．food additives will be used in a safer and more scientific wayD．food producers won’t be allowed to use new food additives35．According to the writer, the food additive is .A．worrying B．acceptableC．poisonous D．avoidable第二节任务型阅读根据短文内容,从短文后的七个选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项。

A history book.BThere is nothing ordinary about this little boy's adorable experience with his musical heroes.5-year-old Taylor Hooper was just one of the 35,0000people who were attending the Foo Fighters concert in Belfast, Norther Ireland last week. Not only is the American rock group his favorite band, it was also his first ever concert.Taylor's mother, Nikki Hooper, says that she and her husband have always been huge fans of the Foo Fighters. In addition to traveling far and wide to see their shows, they even named their son after the drummer, Taylor Hawkins. So when the band played in their home city, they decided it was finally time for their son to see their beloved rock and rockers in concert.“He's been listening to them since he was born — mainly because his dad and I are super fans.” Mrs Hooper told BBC. “We called the event organizers and they said it would be no problem, but that we should know it would be a loud music event, so we gotTaylorsome special headphones. When we got there everyone was so welcoming to him.”Throughout the show, the audience continuously madeTaylorand his parents move closer to the stage. Furthermore, Mrs. Hooper helped her son stand out from the crowd by making him a sign that said he was a 5-year-old attending his first concert.When Foo Fighters front man Dave Grohl finally saw the sign and read it aloud into the microphone, the crowd began chanting for them to bring the youngster onto the stage. That's exactly what he did. When the stage managers brought the boy to the stage, Grohl asked Taylor to show the crowd how to dance．The small boy then danced to the whole song, making him an “Inter net wonder”.Taylordidn't just walk away from the show with memories, either;the band also invited him backstage to give him a number of gifts, includinga pair of Taylor Hawkins's drumsticks.4. What is Foo Fighters in the passage?A. I's a music show.B. It's a music band.C. It's a pop song.D. It's a music fan.5.

How didTaylorfeel about his first ever concert?A. Worried.B. Scared.C. Sorry.D. Pleased.COne billion people in the world are short of water. How can this problem be solved. Some suggestions have been to desalinate ocean water or to build enormous water pipelines from areas where water is abundant. (Suggestions such as these prove extremely expensive when they are actually used.) One possibility that scientists are considering is pulling icebergs from either the North Pole or the South Pole to parts of the world with a water shortage. Although many questions must be answered before such a project could be tried, moving icebergs seems a reasonable possibility in the future.Engineers, mathematicians, and glaciologists from a dozen countries have been considering the iceberg as a future source of water. Saudi Arabia is particularly interested in this project because it has a great water shortage. Scientists estimate that it would take 128 days to transport a large iceberg (about 1/2 square mile) to Saudi Arabia. Yet the iceberg would be completely melted by the 104th day. Therefore, insulation would be essential, but how to insulate the iceberg remains an unsolved problem.The problems in transporting an iceberg are numerous. The first problem is choosing the iceberg to pull. The icebergs that form in the North Pole are quite difficult to handle because of their shape. Only a small portion extends above the water — most of the iceberg is below the surface, which would make it difficult to pull. South Pole icebergs, on the other hand, are flat and float like table tops. Thus they would be much easier to move.How can a 200-million-ton iceberg be moved. No ship is strong enough to pull such enormous weight through the water. Perhaps several ships could be used. Attaching ropes to an iceberg this size is also an enormous problem. Engineers think that large nails or long metal rods could be driven into the ice. What would happen if the iceberg splits into several pieces during the pulling. Even if an iceberg with very few cracks were chosen, how could it be pulled through stormy waters. Furthermore, once the iceberg reached its destination, very few ports would be deep enough to store it.All of these problems must be solved before icebergs can become a reasonable source of water. Yet scientists estimate that it will be possible to transport them in the near future. Each year, enough icebergs form to supply the whole world with fresh water for a full year. In addition, icebergs are free and nonpolluting. As a solution to the world’s water problems, icebergs may be a workable possibility.8. What is a problem in transporting iceberg?A. The size of the iceberg.B. The colour of the iceberg.C. The salt in the iceberg.D. The movement of air and water.9. What is the author’ attitude towards transporting iceberg?A. Pessimistic.B. Objective.C. Optimistic.D. Unconcerned.10. What does the last paragraph mainly tell us?A. It is hard to use iceberg.B. Iceberg are a good choice.C. There are problems with iceberg.D. Man finds no other ways to solve water shortage.11. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Shortage of water.B. Icebergs for water.C. Scientists and icebergs.D. Iceberg—scientists headache.DImprovements to energy efficiency, such as LED lights, are seen by many authorities as a top priority for cutting carbon emissions. Yet a growing body of research suggests that arebound effect could wipe out more than half of the savings from energy efficiency improvements, making the goals of the Paris Agreement on climate change even harder to hit.A team led by Paul Brockway at the University of Leeds, UK, looked at the existing 33 studies on the impact of the rebound effect. First comes the direct rebound: for instance,when someone buys a more efficient car, they may take advantage of that by driving it further. Then comes the indirect rebound: fuel savings leave the owner with more money to spend elsewhere in the economy, consuming energy.Although the 33 studies used different methods to model the rebound effect, they produced very consistent estimates of its impact, leading the team to conclude that the effect wipes out, on average, 63 percent of the anticipated energy savings.“We're not saying energy efficiency doesn't work. What we're saying is rebound needs to be taken more seriously,” says Brockway.The idea that increased efficiency may not deliver the hopedfor savingsdates back to the Jevons paradox(悖论), named after the economist William Stanley Jevons, who, in 1865,observed that more efficient coal use led to more demand for coal.If the rebound effect does prove to be as big as suggested, it means future global energy demand will be higher than expected and the world will need far more wind and solar power and carboncapture technology than is currently being planned for.But that doesn't mean nothing can be done to limit the rebound effect. One answer is to double down on energy efficiency and do twice as much to achieve the same effect.12. Which of the following is a rebound effect?A. A man uses LED lights to cut carbon emissions.B. A company uses coal more efficiently to reduce waste.C. A family saves money by using energysaving devices.D. A lady spends savings from her fuel efficient car on more clothes.13. How did Paul Brockway's team carry out their research?A. By interviewing economists.B. By analyzing former studies.C. By modeling the rebound effect.D. By debating about the Jevons paradox.14. What would Paul Brockway probably agree with?A. Authorities should dismiss energy efficiency.B. Worldwide efforts to preserve energy are in vain.C. The rebound effect helps protect the environment.D. More attention should be paid to the rebound effect.15. What's the author's attitude towards limiting the rebound effect?A. Positive.B. Pessimistic.C. Doubtful.D. Disapproving.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
