Morocco is located at the northwest of Africa and is bordered in the north by the strait of Gibraltar and the Mediterranean Sea.The Atlantic Ocean keeps the west and the north of the country more temperate (温和的).The country also offers the broadest plains,some of which run along the Atlantic Ocean and the highest mountains in North Africa including the Atlas Mountains. Starting with the symbol of Morocco,Marrakech is a beautiful city that has remained unspoiled by the volume of tourists that flock there each year.One of the finest monuments in Morocco is greatly benefited by this amount of tourism.Actually their high volume contributes in a positive way to preserving one of the greatest monuments of Morocco.Fes is the third largest city in Morocco and is the capital of the Fes-Boulemane Region.It is separated into three parts,Fes el Bali more commonly known as the old walled city,now classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site,Fes-J did and the Ville Nouvelle.Fes el Bali is believed to be the largest car-free urban area in the world.Fes is a splendid place to visit to heighten the senses with the colors,smells and sounds.Casablanca is an enormous city which is near the capital of Morocco and a place where any European would feel at home.Casablanca was made famous by the movie and gives the impression of being a romantic place.Unfortunately like many other popular cities around the world,it is crowded,noisy,and polluted,a far city from the romantic ideal of the film.Because it has the biggest port,Casablanca,the important city of Morocco,has everything that the touristsneed.Asilah is a city situated on the Atlantic Ocean and is one of the most stunning (出色的)old cities of Morocco.The city is set along the cliffs which make it beautifully presented and an ideal place to continue adding to its economy by the fishermen.The economy is also reliant on the trading of cattle,sheep and cereal.If you are having a holiday in Morocco during August then you will be fortunate enough to experience one of Asilah's cultural festivals where you can enjoy the lively music and wonderful paintings.【文章大意】本文详细介绍了摩洛哥的位置以及它的几个著名城市的特点。

More than 40 years ago,John Williams gave away all of his belongings and went off to the mountains to live the way people lived 100 years ago.For food he traps wild animals,fishes in therivers,and plants whatever he can.John lives in a cabin he made by hand,out of trees he chopped down with an ax.Though he has no relatives he knows of,he does have a deer he raised from a fawn.The deer lives in the house in the winter and goes with John when he goes into the forest for food.Nobody lives within fifty miles of his cabin in the mountains and John has not been out of the mountains during the entire forty years.One day last year I hiked in to see how John lives.It was like going back in time.There were no roads,no stores,no noise,no pollution,not even a post office.Most notable of all,there were no people and that's just the way John Williams wants to keep his part of the world—without people.But there is a paradox in his story.John is an educated man.He has books and nobody knows how he got them.Mostly he reads about his world,the forest,the animals,the plants,and the mountains.He has seen airplanes flying overhead but does not want to know about them.For him,electricity is lightning,not light bulbs,refrigerators,televisions,or washing machines.John Williams is 85 years old and had not had a sick day in his life. He attributes his long life to the fact that it has nothing to do with people and in order that he might enjoy many more years of health,happiness,and solitude,I will not tell you where his kingdom lies.There is no room there for you or me.【文章大意】本文讲述了John Williams住进深山老林里四十多年里过着孤身一人的原始生活,并介绍了其生活的基本状况。

For five days,Edmonton's Downtown Park is transformed into one huge stage where artists are able to share their talents,and where people are able to celebrate and enjoy themselves.Since its beginning in 1980,the Edmonton Folk Music Festival has been commemorating (纪念) the true feeling of what folk music is all about and that's the traditional togetherness(友爱)that is felt when people gather to share stories and feelings through song.This year will be the sixth year when volunteer Riedel will be offering up her time to the festival.“People coming off a busy spring and summer have a moment of relaxation.”Riedel said.“It's really easy to relax,and it's great seeing family and friends have fun together.”Thes e families andfriends come from all different kinds of musical tastes.People who take pleasure in Blues are there,so are people who love Bluegrass.This festival does its best to develop everyone's musical interests.With so many years of experience,the festival has become a well-oiled machine,and does whatever it can to make attendees feel as comfortable as possible.There are free water stations throughout the venue (举办地) for people to fill up their travel cups.When people buy food,reusable dishes are given a $2 plate fee,but that is returned when the plate is brought back.The festival has completely sold out of tickets, and in record time.But with big names such as Van Morrison and Jakob Dylan, it's easy to see how that was going to happen.There is no parking area during the festival, so using the Park & Ride system or Edmonton Transit is highly recommended.A bike lock-up area is provided and will be available Thursday until Sunday one hour before the gates open until 45 minutesafter the gates close.The Edmonton Folk Music Festival begins on Wednesday, Aug.4 with Van Morrison playing the special donation fund (基金)concert, and will finish up on Sunday, Aug.8.本文主要讲述为了让人们了解民间音乐的真正意义而举办的一个节日——the Edmonton Folk Music Festival。

Investing in their kids' education or buying healthier and more expensive foods may be within reach now, but without the cash handout, these goals weren't even a possibility. So families cut back on other expenses (like alcohol and tobacco) to make those dreams a reality.Another theory is that people just generally seem to do what they're told. If they are given money and told to use it for their family's welfare, in most cases, they will do just that. And that leads to the third theory: These cash transfers are usually given to women, and studies show that when women control the purse strings, more money is spent on taking care of their children.Whatever the reason for the trend, the data is clear—families that receive cash handouts don't waste the money on booze and cigarettes as was previously thought. Instead, they typically use that money for the benefit of their families. And that's money well spent.(1)The study proves that .A. cash transfers help poor families get what would seem unavailable otherwiseB. cash should be given to poor people as a reward for something good for kidsC. given cash handouts, poor people would spend the money on alcohol and tobaccoD. poor people would save the cash given by the government for emergency needs(2)A cash transfer led to a reduction in a family's alcohol and tobacco purchases because .A. the education gained with the cash would help them drop alcohol and tobaccoB. the money previously for alcohol and tobacco would help realize their dreamC. buying healthier and more expensive foods left less money for alcohol and tobaccoD. that was the promise made before the cash transfer was given to the poor family(3)In paragraph 5, when the author said "women control the purse strings", he just meant " ".A. women are told what to doB. women are given the moneyC. women know what to do with the moneyD. women have the final word for money(4)The passage mainly tells us .A. how the study was carried outB. why cash transfer is preferredC. the findings of a study and explanations to themD. the theories for a study about cash transfers【答案】(1)A(2)B(3)D(4)C【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文,世界银行和斯坦福大学的专家进行了一项研究,给贫穷家庭一笔汇款,结果发现汇款能够减少烟酒方面的花销,作者分析了出现这一现象的原因。

He told his brother: "Receive this scholar and treat him well!Don't say a word to him,and everything will be OK."The monk left the temple. Upon returning, he went to meet his guest."Did my brother receive you properly?" asked the monk."You brother is outstanding. He's a great theologian!" exclaimed the theologian with great enthusiasm."What do you mean? My brother---a theologian?" stuttered(结巴地说)the surprised monk."We had a passionate conversation," replied the scholar." We communicated professionally by means of gestures. I showed him one finger and he replied by showing me two. Logically, I answered with three fingers and then he astonished me by raising a closed fist, ending the debate. With one finger, I implied the unity of Buddha. With two fingers, he expanded my point of view by reminding me that Buddha was inseparable from his theory. Delighted by the reply, with three fingers I expressed: Buddha and his theory in the world. Then he suggested a wonderful response, showing me his fist: Buddha, his theory and the world, all together as one whole. "A little later, the monk went to look for his one-eyed brother."So how did it go earlier with the theologian?" he asked."Very simple," said the brother. "He made fun of me; he show me one finger emphasizing that I have but one eye. Not wanting to fall into the conflict, I showed that he was fortunate enough to have two eyes. Critically, he continued, 'Be that as it may, between us, we have three eyes.' That was the straw that broke the camel's back. Showing him a closed fist, I threatened to lay him out right then and there if he didn't stop his insulting challenges."(1)According to the passage, the monk's brother is a person__________.A. who was a great theologianB. who was a three-eyed idiotC. who was a one-eyed theologianD. who was a fool with only one eye(2)The theologian thought the monk's brother as a great theologian because ______.

A new technology is going to ripe, one that could transform our daily lives, help to form new industries, even remove world economic powers from their present positions. Unlike the wave of industrialization that began in the West and spread later to the rest of the world, the new developments are taking place in research labs all over the globe—and Asians are in the forefront. Physicists are creating a new class of materials that display an amazing property unforeseen even two years ago—superconductivity (超导体技术).Used today only in specialized equipment, super conductors have the potential to radically change most of the electrical and electronic appliances found in the home, making them smaller, more powerful and efficient. They could free our cities of pollution by replacing petrol and diesel (柴油) vehicles with electric cars, and cut the cost of electricity. The new materials do something that even the best of conductors such as copper and silver cannot—they do away with all electrical resistance. The significances for energy storage are great.The technology is in its early stage, still accessible to countries that decide to invest brains and money. For 75 years it had remained little more than a scientific curiosity with limited practical use because the phenomenon occurred only at extremely low temperatures. It was first observed in 1911 by a Dutch scientist named Heike Kamerlingh Onnes, who cooled mercury (水银) to temperatures below -269℃ with liquid helium (氦). Then in January last year, two IBM scientists, K. Alex Muller and J. George Bednorz, found a metal oxide ceramic (氧化陶瓷) that superconducted at -243℃. Their report went largely unnoticed until last December, when it was confirmed at a scientific meeting in Boston. Today Japan, India, China and other Asian countries all have their share of experts who spend their days and nights in labs, acting as midwives (助产士) to a new technology.(1)As is indicated in the passage, the technology of superconductivity ____________. A. has already been developed B. is still under developmentC. will be used only in specialized equipmentD. will be used in daily lives in a few years(2)The new technology differs from the others in that ____________.A. it began in the East and spread later to the rest of the worldB. it began in the West and spread later to the rest of the worldC. it is being cultivated in research labs around the worldD. it is accessible to physicists who are intelligent and rich(3)From the passage, we may conclude that ____________.A. Asian scientists gain the lead in the growth of the new technologyB. Dutch scientists kept reporting new findings for the last 75 yearsC. IBM scientists' report receive immediate attention all over the worldD. the West was astonished at the new technology developed by the Asians(4)Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. The Prospect of a New TechnologyB. Superconductivity: A New TechnologyC. A New Technology: The Key to Change the Way of Our LivesD. A New Technology: A Joint Effort of Many Countries【答案】(1)B(2)C(3)A(4)B【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了超导体技术的发展潜能和发展状况。

Every day millions of Chinese search social media for wanghong posts or tune in to live-streams for wanghong's opinions on everything. The fans are helping this new Chinese Internet star to make money out of their popularity —and to shake up the country's e-commerce industry in the process.A few of wanghong have been hired by luxury brands. Jaeger-LeCoultre, a Swiss watchmaker,hired Papi Jiang for a video ad targeting young urbanites ( 都市人 ), including her 27m fans on Sina Weibo, a Twitter-like microblog. Zhang Yi of iiMedia Research, a consulting firm, estimates that up to 15% of sales on shopping sites like Taobao or social-media apps such as WeChat are influenced by wanghong's public support. The length of a dress might be decided by a survey of a wanghong's fans; its launch date might be based on the number of hits, shares or comments it collects, some of which can cause last-minute design changes.This poses a new challenge for retailers( 零售商 ), whose supply chains must respond ever more quickly to wanghong's opinions. Whereas previously a company would look for a celebrity to matchits image, wanghong and their admirers are shaping goods.Another challenge comes directly from wanghong themselves. They increasingly make money not merely from online support or advice but by launching their own e-commerce stores. Sales of goods accounted for just under half of wanghong earnings of 53bn yuan ($8bn) in 2016, estimates Analysys, a Chinese market-research firm (the rest came mostly from live-show tips and adverts).Some wanghong are going a step further. In November Becky Fang launched her own clothing line. Part of her motivation, she says, was that the brands she supported did not always match the trends she was sharing with her followers. By creating her own brand, Becky's Fantasy, she have full control of the quality. She also gains a new income. For the time being only 3-5% of wanghongfollow Becky Fang's example, iiMedia Research estimates.

They also supply and recycle nutrients as well as enable a growing fish population, along with other species, for a healthy and diverse ecosystem. However, the rise in average water temperatures due to climate change has resulted in more frequent and longtime coral bleaching (白化现象) events that damage their health, causing fish and other sea species to abandon them.In order to restore this delicate ecosystem, scientists from the UK and Australia conducted a study that involved using loudspeakers underwater near damaged coral reefs to make them sound healthy and attract fish, potentially kick-starting the natural recovery process of coral reefs and their dependent life forms. The location for this experiment was the Great Barrier Reef in the Coral Sea, found alongside the east coast of Queensland, Australia. The site is noted to have the largest coral reef system in the world."Healthy coral reefs are remarkably noisy places-the crackle of snapping shrimp and the whoops and grunts of fish. Young fish concentrate on these sounds when they're looking for a place to settle," said Steve Simpson, study co-author and a professor at the University of Exeter, UK.By using loudspeakers to copy such sounds, parts of dead coral reefs were found to attract twice as many fish, compared to places where no sounds were played. "These returning fish, are crucial for coral reefs to function as healthy ecosystems. Boosting fish populations in this way could help to kick-start natural recovery processes, preventing the damage we're seeing on many coral reefs around the world," said lead author, Tim Gordon.(1)What causes the phenomenon of coral bleaching?A.Diverse species.B.Noise pollution.C.Fishing industry.D.Climbing temperatures.(2)What approach is introduced to recover the coral reefs?A.Removing damaged coral reefs.ing loudspeakers to keep fish away.C.Building new homes for sea species.D.Playing certain sounds to appeal to fish.(3)Why are Steve Simpson's words quoted?A.To provide some findings of the study.B.To show the progress of the experiment.C.To explain reasons for the new approach.D.To give another solution to the problem.(4)What can we infer from the last paragraph?A.The attempts are in vain.B.Natural recovery is impossible.C.Initial success has been achieved.D.The coral reefs have returned to normal.【答案】(1)D(2)D(3)C(4)C【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文,由于气候变化导致的平均水温上升导致了更频繁、更长期的珊瑚白化事件,而为了恢复这一脆弱的生态系统,科学家们在受损的珊瑚礁附近使用水下扩音器,让珊瑚听起来更健康,从而能够吸引鱼类。

I have known many coaches and heard hundreds of their tips, but they usually focused on drills to develop my skills and reach the next level of play.When I was in Senior Two, I met the new school basketball coach, Brian Pawloski. I thought I was certain to be selected for the school team since I had been in it the year before. I showed up to the tryouts and put out about 90% effort since I thought I'd make it with no problem. That was a big mistake.Brian Pawloski is the hardest-working coach I have ever met. He didn't expect 100% effort, he expected 200% effort. One example: he once made us do 40 suicide drills for the 40 lay-ups (投篮) we missed in a game. Some think this is crazy, but it isn't. After this conditioning practice, as we were getting a cup of cold water to drink, I said, "coach, that was the best practice I ever had." I was completely sincere. This man was and is the person who influenced me most at my high school. He expects us to be excellent not just on the court but in the classroom. If I am not working on basketball, I am reading a book that he thinks will help us better understand life's challenges, including Wooden, Coach, and The Screwtape Letters.In the first two years I slacked off, not putting forth my full potential. Now, unlike the coaches of my youth, this man was interested in how he did off the court. He always made sure I kept up with my studies and was able to be trusted. I can honestly say that on other coach has given me so much advice on how to succeed in basketball, but more importantly, in life. My school is lucky to have such a great person to teach, coach and influence their students. I will always remember my high-school basketball days as one of the hardest times I have ever worked in my life not only in basketball but in my growth as an individual.(1)Different from other coaches, Coach Brian ________.A. concentrated on skill trainingB. trained the team to the edge of deathC. expected the team to do well in their studiesD. asked the team to do more reading than training(2)The underlined phrase "slacked off" in the last paragraph probably means ________.A. paid no attentionB. showed no interestC. had less passionD. made less effort (3)In the author's eye, Coach Brian is ________.A. strict and helpfulB. hardworking and honestC. skilled and cruelD. professional and serious【答案】(1)C(2)D(3)A【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文,作者喜欢篮球,新学校的篮球教练布莱恩对自己的学生严格要求,全文叙述了对布莱恩教练的描述以及他和作者之间发生的事情。
