More people travel today than in the past because there is a growing middle class in many parts of the world; that is to say, people now have more money for travel. Special plane fares(费用) for tourists make travel less expensive and more attractive than ever before. One person doesnt travel for the same reason as another. But most people enjoy seeing countries that are different from their own. They also like to meet new people and to taste new food. Tourism causes many changes in a country and in peoples lives.

A large sea turtle laysaround 150 eggs at a time. She lays all these eggs in just a few minutes.Large sea turtles live in the warm seas of the world. Except for when they lay their eggs, theyspend their whole lives in the water. When it is time to lay their eggs, the females swim to land.They usually return to the place where they themselves were born. How they find their way backthere is unknown.When they reach shore, the big, heavy turtles crawl slowly up to the high water mark. Usingtheir flippers, they pull themselves along the sand. They must struggle like mountain climbers.When they finally reach dry sand, they rest before beginning the difficult task of laying eggs.The turtles lay the eggs in deep holes and cover them with warm sand.

So my daughter and I had to stay in a hotel. It cost me 12.”Harry was worried. He remembered selling the woman a return ticket. “Come into the office, Madam,” he said politely. “Ill just check the Jersey timetable for May 22nd.”The woman and her little girl followed him inside. She was quite right, as Harry soon discovered. There was no sailing on May 22nd. How could he have made such a careless mistake? He shouldnt have sold her a ticket for that day. Wondering what to do, he smiled at the child. “You look sun burnt,” he said to her. “Did you have a nice holiday in Jersey?”“Yes,” she answered, shyly. “The beach was lovely. And I can swim too!”“Thats fine,” said Harry. “My little girl cant swim a bit yet .Of course, shes only three”“Im four,” the child said proudly. “Ill be four and a half.”Harry turned to the mother. “I remember your ticket, Madam,” he said. “But you didnt get one for your daughter, did you?”“Er, well” the woman looked at the child. “I mean she hasnt started school yet.

How did the woman feel when she left the office? A. angry B. peaceful C. embarrassed D. nervous.DHow often one hears children wishing they were grown-ups and old people wishing they were young again. Each age has its pleasures and its pains, and the happiest person is the one who enjoys what each age gives him without wasting his time in useless regrets. Childhood is a time when there are few responsibilities to make life difficult. If a child has good parents, he is fed, looked after and loved, whatever he may do. It is impossible that he will ever again in his life be given so much without having to do anything in return. In addition, life is always presenting new things to the child things that have lost their interest for older people because they are too well-known. But a child has his parents. He is not so free to do what he wishes to do; he is continually being told not to do things or being punished for what he has done wrong. When the young man starts to earn his own living, he can no longer expect others to pay for his food, his clothes, and his room, but has to work if he wants to live comfortably. If he spends most of his time playing about in the way that he used to as a child, he will go hungry. And if he breaks the laws of society as he used to break the laws of his parents, he may go to prison. If, however, he works hard, keeps out of trouble and has good health, he can have the great happiness of building up for 68. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage? A. People are often satisfied with their life. B. Life is less interesting for old people. C. Adults are free to do what they want to do.D. Adults should no longer rely on others.69. The underlined word responsibilities in the second paragraph means_. A. duties B. jobs C. suggestions D. desires70. The main idea of the passage is _ . A. life is not enjoyable since each age has some pains B. young men can have the greatest happiness if they work hardC. childhood is the most enjoyable time in ones lifeD. one is the happiest if he can make good use of each age in his life第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个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。As is known to all, many things can be measured in terms of data. Sometimes data can indeed tell the truth. With the help of data we can easily know the price of a can of Coke in the supermarket or the result of a football match. 71 What is more important, data seem to be fairer than words or statements. If the data are true, we dont have to worry about being cheated. Nowadays, as lies exist in the world, data are expected to tell the truth. Therefore, many of us would rather believe data. On the other hand, if we judge things only by data from the so-called specific research, arent we a little too narrow-minded? Many people often treat the so-called specific data unwisely just to make sure that they are making the right decisions. 72 For example, how can you tell that somebody isnt a good student just because he or she doesnt get high marks in the final examination? 73 For example, the degree of your feeling happy in your life, the depth of love between you and your friends, and the faith you have in your country. We can only feel them in our hearts but can never express them in data.There is no doubt that analyzin
