Here are some of the key points to remember as you plan your trip to Amsterdam.Must-See AttractionsMost visitors begin their Amsterdam adventure in the Old Centre, which is full of traditional architecture, shopping centers, and coffee shops. Youll also want to check out Amsterdams Museum Quarter in the South District, which is great for shopping at the Albert Cuyp Market and having a picnic in the Vondelpark. The top museums to visit are the Rijksmusuem, the Ann Frank House, and the Van Gogh Museum. The Canal Ring is a UNESCO World Heritage Site that was originally built to attract wealthy home owners and is a popular place for celebrity（名人） spotting and nightlife today.TransportationTravelers should be aware that Amsterdam Airport Schiphol is one of the busiest airports in the world. This airport is located about 15 kilometers southwest of city center. You can catch a train from Schiphol to Amsterdam Central Station, which has many connecting routes（路线）. Its typically not a good idea to drive a car to the city center because traffic is heavy and parking is difficult to find. Cycling is incredibly popular here, and its easy to find cheap bike rentals（出租） around town.Amsterdam has a flat terrain(地形) and is a great city to explore on foot.Money Saving TipsUnless you really want to see the tulips(郁金香) blooming, avoid booking between mid-March and mid-May. This is when hotel and flight prices rise.Look for accommodations in Amsterdams South District, where rates are generally cheaper than in the city center.Buy train tickets at the machine instead of the counter to save a bit of money.Instead of hiring a tour guide, hop on a canal boat. Theyre inexpensive and will give you a unique point of view of the city.Check out our homepage to view price comparisons for flights, hotels, and rental cars before you book.21.Which attraction was built with the original purpose of drawing the rich?A. Albert Cuyp Market. B. The Ann Frank House.C. The Van Gogh Museum. D. The Canal Ring.22. Which means of transportation is not advisable in Amsterdam according to the passage?A. The plane. B. The train. C. The car. D. The bike.23. Which way can help visitors save money in Amsterdam?A. Seeing the tulips blooming in spring. B. Avoiding accommodating downtown.C. Buying car tickets at the machine. D. Hiring a local tour guide.BIt was the first snow of winter an exciting day for every child but not for most teachers. Up until now, I had been old enough to dress myself, but today I would need some help. Miss Finlayson, my kindergarten teacher, had been through first snow days many times, but I think she may still remember this one.I managed to get into my wool snow trousers. But I struggled with my jacket because it didnt fit well. It was a hand-me-down from my brother, and it made me wonder why I had to wear his ugly clothes. At least my hat and scarf were mine, and they were quite pretty. Finally it was time to have Miss Finlayson help me with my boots（靴子）.In her calm, motherly voice she said, “By the end of winter, you will all be able to put on your own boots.” I didnt realize at the time that this was more a statement of hope than of confidence.I handed her my boots and stuck out my foot. Like most children, I expected grown-ups to do all the work. After much pushing, she managed to get the first one into place and then, with a sigh, worked the second one on too.I announced, “Theyre on the wrong feet.”She struggled to get the boots off and went through the joyless task of putting them on again.“Theyre my brothers boots, you know,” I said. “I hate them!”Somehow, from long years of practice, she managed to act as though I wasnt an annoying（烦人的）little girl, She pushed and pushed, less gently this time. With a greater sigh, seeing the end of her struggle with me, she asked, “Now, where are your mittens（连指手套）?”I looked into her eyes and said, “I didnt want to lose them, so I hid them in the toes of my boots.”24The little girl was more satisfied with her_.Ahat Bjacket Cboots Dtrousers25Miss Finlayson had difficulty with the girls boots mainly because_.Athe girl got them from her brother Bthey did not fit the girl wellCthey were on the wrong feet Dthe girl put something in them26Why does the author say Miss Finlayson would remember that first snow day?ABecause the little girl was in her brothers clothes.BBecause it was the most exciting day of the winter.CBecause the little girl played a trick on her.DBecause the little girl wore a pretty scarf.27We can learn from the text that Miss Finlayson_.Awas losing confidence in the little girlBgradually lost patience with the little girlCbecame disappointed with the little girlDwas getting bored with the little girl CThere are several reasons why cats climb trees, mostly to do with defensive purposes. Cats, as predators (捕食者), like to understand their environment well. Cats climb trees to get a better view of their surroundings（环境）, to help them see any potential（潜在的） dangers or potential prey (被掠食者)While cats are predators, they can also be easily attacked by larger animals. A tree often provides a safe hiding place. In the wild, cats climb up trees to give them a resting place that is out of predators range（范围）.It also helps disguise their presence, which can prevent any prey from noticing that there is a cat nearby.Sometimes some cats may climb trees for fun, or possibly to work on improving their climbing abilities. Kittens frequently test out their claw skills by trying to climb up everything, from bookcases to trees to a persons leg. Climbing practice is good for cats; it can improve their strength and flexibility and teach them an important defensive skill. To prevent them from practicing indoor climbing of your furniture, however, owners may wish to buy a carpeted cat tree for climbing.If a cat has gotten up a tree and cannot get down, the owner may wonder why its remarkable climbing abilities only work in one direction. A cats claws curve (弯曲) inward, allowing it to take hold of surfaces while going up head first. Unfortunately, this useful climbing curve does nothing to help the animal get back down again. Eventually, most trapped kittens will either jump out of the tree or realize that they can get down by going tail first. Either way, a cat up a tree is usually nothing to panic about unless it is injured; they are intelligent animals and will find out how to get down sooner or later.28In most cases, cats climb trees in order to _.Ahave funBseek food Cdefend themselves Dplease their owners29What does the underlined word “disguise” in Paragraph 2 mean?AFind out. BPay attention to. CMake clear. DCover up.30Why do people want to buy carpeted cat trees?ATo train their cats in climbing. BTo help protect their furniture.CTo improve their cats claw skills. DTo keep their cats warm in winter.31Seeing your cat up a tree, you are supposed to _.Ajust take it easy Blead it down slowlyCfeed some food to it at once Dkeep an eye on it all the timeDScientists in England are using two selfdirected water vehicles to explore the animal and plant life of the Celtic Sea.The Celtic Sea is a body of water off the southern coast of Ireland. The area is known for its unusual sea life. Scientists want to know why sea creatures are so attracted to this part of the Atlantic Ocean.One of the research vehicles is powered by batteries (电池). It collects information for the National Oceanography Center in Southampton, England, and the World Wildlife Fund. The vehicles low energy requirements permit it to stay floating on water for up to 30 days. Reports of what it finds in the Celtic Sea are sent by satellite.Stephen Woodward is an engineer who helped design the vehicle. He says the vehicle has equipment（设备） that can discover small organisms called zooplankton (浮游动物) and fish. He adds that other sensing equipment measures water currents and other features of sea life. The vehicle also creates a map of the sea.Another vehicle is powered by the sun and the wind. It can stay floating on water for months. The robotic vehicle sends information about the socalled biodiversity hotspot. A biodiversity hotspot is an area of an ocean that has a lot of plant and animal life activity.Lavinia Suberg is one of the scientists studying the Celtic Sea. She says productive ocean areas, like the Celtic Sea, attract zooplankton. The zooplankton then attracts fish. She adds that areas with a large increase of fish often attract sea mammals and birds.Using these robotic ocean vehicles greatly reduces the cost of exploring the sea with manned labs. Scientists can spend more time analyzing（分析） the collected information. They say the research will give them a better understanding of the needs of the Celtic Sea for future management and protection.32Why do the British scientists explore the Celtic Sea?ATo study the geography of the sea. BTo learn why the sea is rich in sea life.CTo test their selfdirected water vehicles. DTo learn about the sea creatures in the sea.33According to the text, the water vehicles_.Aare controlled directly by humans Bwork depending on the map of the seaCcan send the information back directly Dcan keep floating on water for a long time34According to Lavinia Suberg, the sea mammals and birds _.Aare afraid of living alone Bmainly feed on zooplanktonClike to live in warm ocean areas Dare especially interested in fish35What is the last paragraph mainly about?AThe aim of sea exploration. BThe cost of exploring the sea.CThe importance of the water vehicles DWays to deal with the collected information.第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容从选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。请把36-40的答案依次涂在答题卡71-75相应位置。Ways to improve your skin36 Healthy skin, hair and nails rely on a good supply of vitamins in your diet, and youll get the best possible mix if you pile a wide variety of fruit and vegetables on your plate. 37 , vitamin C helps even your skin color, and vitamin E helps protect your skin from the damage that causes ageing.When fat is necessaryFlaky(易脱皮屑的) skin on the arms and face is a sign that you could be low on fats. 38 .
