【題目】Here are some recommendations for tourists to choose from.

Banff, Canada

Banff, located in the Rockies, has a view of tall mountains, deep valleys and lakes, making it the first town to become part of the country’s national parks. Tourists can enjoy its beauty by hiking, horse riding and boat trips. Banff was founded in 1883 while a railroad was in construction. It was the water springs that drew the engineers’ attention to the place as a settlement. With such a fantastic view, it’s no surprise that Banff hosts a number of cultural festivals.

Lisbon, Portugal

Lisbon is the capital of Portugal, with the warmest winters of any major European city.

Belem Tower and Jeronimos Monastery are listed as UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The former was built in the 16th century as a symbol of Portugal’s Extraordinary Age and the latter is one of the greatest examples of the Portuguese late-Gothic style of architecture. The Lisbon Oceanaium is among Europe’s finest aquariums. The Museu Calouste Gulbenkian is among the best museums in Europe containing priceless artworks covering 4000 years from ancient Egyptian times to the late 20th century.

Portland, US

Portland is frequently recognized as one of the world’s most environmentally-friendly cities because of its well-built pavements, large community of cyclists and convenient public transportation. Its climate is ideal for growing roses and it’s called the “City of Roses”. Besides, the seaport is also known as a city of beer: it has the largest number of beer breweries（啤酒廠）of any city in the world. Today’s Portland is better known for its music. It’s called “the capital of karaoke” and “one of the most exciting music scenes” in the US.

Bordeaux, France

Bordeaux attracts tourists with its rich cultural heritage, especially its wealth of architectural treasures. Besides the Cathedral of Saint Andrew dating back to 12th century, the Basilica of Saint Michael is another one of the city’s UNESCO World Heritage Sites. It took 200 years to build from 14th to 16th centuries. Other significant buildings include the Grand Theater built in 1780 in the new Classical style and the Stone Bridge built in 1821.

【題目】D

Attention to detail is something everyone can and should do — especially in tight job market.

Bob Crossley, a human-resources expert notices this in the job applications that come across his desk every day. “It’s amazing how many candidates eliminate (淘汰) themselves,” he says. “Resumes (簡歷) arrive with faults. Some candidates don’t bother to spell the company’s name correctly. Once I see a mistake, I refuse the candidates,” Crossley concludes,” If they cannot take care of these details, why should we trust them with a job?”

Can we pay too much attention to details? Absolutely not.

Perfectionists(完美主義者) struggle over little things instead of something larger they work toward. “To keep from losing the forest for the trees,” says Charles Garfield, the professor at the University of California, San Francisco, “We must constantly ask ourselves how the details we’re working will influence the larger picture. If they don’t, we should drop them and move to something else.”

Garfield compares this process to his work as a computer scientist at NASA. “The Apollo II moon launch was slightly off-course 90 percent of the time,” says Garfield. “But a successful landing was still likely because we knew the exact position of our goal. This allowed us to make adjustments as necessary.” Knowing where to go helps us judge the importance of every task we undertake.

Again and again, we see that by doing little things within our grasp well, large rewards follow.

【1】According to the passage, some job applicants were refused because they are ________.

A. too limitedly educated to write a perfect resume

B. so careless that they make some spelling mistakes in their resume

C. so careless that they forget the company’s name

D. too foolish to spell the company’s name correctly

【2】From the passage, we can infer that a perfectionist will _________.

A. change their goals as the situations change

B. lose their jobs by paying too much attention to details

C. pay attention to details as much as to their major goals

D. pay attention to details more than their major goals

【3】Garfield makes his opinion believable by _________.

A. giving ideas of experts

B. offering examples of resumes

C. providing an example of his work.

D. showing the results of experiments

【4】Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage?

I: Introduction P:Point Sp: Sub-point （次要點）C: Conclusion

Dear Mum and Dad

We're having a wonderful time in Australia. There is so much to see that it is impossible for me to tell you everything. During past three days, we've travelled a lot around Sydney. We went to the zoo, on where we saw many animals that can only be found in Australia. We spent some time relaxing in the sunshine at the beach, but we went to Pitt Street and wander around for a bit while we did some shopping. Though I would like to spend more time here, the locally guide told us that we will fly to Cairns tomorrow. It's said that word cannot describe the beauty of the ocean near Cairns. Now everybody is busy packed so that we will not lose time when we set off. This time tomorrow we will be enjoying the ocean near Cairns. I can't wait!

Because I have much more to tell you, I must go to bed now so that I can get up early and get to the airport on time. Please send my best wishes to Granny and tell she that I am coming back soon.

Love

Robert

【題目】閱讀理解。

Where should an adventurous tourist go? After you've done sightseeing in London, shopping in New York, tasted the local food in Paris, and danced to your heart's content at the Brazilian Carnival, where else can you go? What exotic (異國風(fēng)情的) tourist destination awaits you?

Well, Antarctica sounds like the holiday of a lifetime! It's considered the last great wilderness on Earth. Just a few scientists in research stations share the icy landscape with penguins and other animals which can cope with the low temperatures.

Tourism began in Antarctica in the 1950s and it's still a small scale. About 37,000 tourists are expected there this season, but many won't even leave the boat.

The BBC's Juliet Rix visited the frozen continent and asked herself if she should be there at all, causing potential problems to such a sensitive environment. Her tour guide admitted that all visitors leave footprints and they all go to the same place, the accessible coastline, which is also where the penguins and seals go to breed.

But some people believe that if carefully controlled, tourism can be good for Antarctica. It has no native population and it needs advocates. Visitors to the icy continent might be ready to support and even to fund its preservation. And they're likely to engage in the discussion about global warming, which has led to the melting of glaciers.

According to Rix, guidelines are followed when you're about to set foot in Antarctica and tourists have to disinfect (為……消毒) their boots to make sure no alien species are introduced.

And once on land, there's no eating or smoking. Rocks, bone fragments — nothing should be taken as a souvenir and nothing should be left behind. Tourists fortunate enough to visit Antarctica must be aware that this is not their home and keep their fingers crossed that future generations will also be able to enjoy such breathtaking views.

【1】According to the second paragraph, we can learn that ________.

A．Antarctica has become the best place for people to travel

B．only scientists can be allowed to go to Antarctica

C．Antarctica is less affected by human activities

D．no animals can survive in Antarctica except penguins

【2】Juliet Rix's travel in Antarctica mentioned in the fourth paragraph indicates that ________.

A．governments should take measures to stop tourists from going to Antarctica

B．whether tourists should go to Antarctica or not should be considered carefully

C．the animals' habitat in Antarctica has been seriously affected by tourism

D．only journalists begin to pay attention to the environmental protection in Antarctica

【3】Which of the following statements is TRUE according to Rix?

A．Tourists can eat and smoke in Antarctica.

B．Tourists can take something they like from Antarctica.

C．Tourists can throw away something they don't need in Antarctica.

D．Tourists can enjoy the beautiful scenery in Antarctica.

【4】Which of the following is the best title of this passage?

A．Why can't tourists go to Antarctica?

B．How can tourists go to Antarctica?

C．Should tourists go to Antarctica?

D．Are tourists allowed to go to Antarctica?
