1．Ecotourism is one of the fastest growing sectors in tourism． More and more of us are becoming concerned about the effects we are having on the destinations we choose，as well as the world around us． Some of us are choosing more green modes of transport to get there instead of flying，and some of us are choosing to visit greener destinations． India is one of the best places for ecotourism，and with the destinations below you can be sure that you'll not only be protecting the earth，but giving something back to the area too．
Kerala，more commonly known as"God's Own Country"，is a beautiful state on the southern tip of India． It's a biologically diverse area，with many unique animal species，and almost 2，500 plant species in its tropical forests-that's nearly a quarter of all India's plant groups． In the past，though the forests in this area were much cleared，today they are well protected． There are plenty of wildlife reserves where you can see some of these unique animals．
With tourism developing in the area and money brought in，more attention can be given to protecting its plants and animals，ensuring that the people in the area have a better quality of life．
Arunachal Pradesh，situated on the most northern tip of India，is a resort for the more adventurous． With dry，desert heat in the summer and a snowfall best avoided in the winter，this area is less about greenery，and more about stunning desert landscapes． When visiting this amazing area，you'll be promoting locals earning income from their surroundings，encouraging them to make the most of them and preserve them，as well as gradually increasing their quality of life．
As a north Indian province，Ladakh supports much rare and even endangered plants and animals，which can be seen at Hemis High Altitude National Park． There are also many Tibetan monasteries，including the Hemis Monastery，to visit in the area．
76． Why do people regard Kerala as a biologically diverse area？（no more than 15 words）Because there live many unique animal species and almost 2，500 plant species．
77． What's the author's attitude towards the tourist industry in Kerala？（no more than 6 words）The author quite approves of it．/He is in favor of it．/He is for it．/He is supportive．/He is optimistic about it．/He thinks it is quite good （beneficial）．
78． What can the tourists enjoy in Arunachal Pradesh despite much hardship？（ no more than 4 words）The beautiful/stunning desert landscapes．
79． According to the passage，where would you like to go if you intend to study some endangered animals and plants？（no more than 7 words）Hemis High Altitude National Park in Ladakh
80． What is the passage mainly talking about？（no more than 6 words）The best ecotourism destinations in India．．

分析 環(huán)保旅游好處多．印度是生態(tài)旅游最好的地方之一．下面的目的地可以肯定的是，你不僅會保護地球，還會回報這個地區(qū)．1．Kerala，被稱為上帝自己的家鄉(xiāng)；2．Arunachal Pradesh有著迷人的沙漠風光；3．Ladakh．

解答 76．Because there live many unique animal species and almost 2，500 plant species．
77．The author quite approves of it．/He is in favor of it．/He is for it．/He is supportive．/He is optimistic about it．/He thinks it is quite good （beneficial）．
78The beautiful/stunning desert landscapes．
79Hemis High Altitude National Park in Ladakh
80The best ecotourism destinations in India．
76．根據(jù)It's a biologically diverse area，with many unique animal species，and almost 2，500 plant species in its tropical forests 可知，人們認為Kerala是一個生態(tài)多樣化的地區(qū)是因為那里有很多獨特的動物物種和近2500個植物品種．所以答案是 Because there live many unique animal species and almost 2，500 plant species．
77．根據(jù)With tourism developing in the area and money brought in，more attention can be given to protecting its plants and animals，ensuring that the people in the area have a better quality of life．可知，作者認為在這里發(fā)展旅游，可以賺錢用于保護這里的動植物，也可以提高人們的生活質(zhì)量．所以作者的態(tài)度是贊成的．答案是The author quite approves of it．/He is in favor of it．/He is for it．/He is supportive．/He is optimistic about it．/He thinks it is quite good （beneficial）．
78．根據(jù)this area is less about greenery，and more about stunning desert landscapes．可知．這里不是因為綠色，而是因為其美麗的沙漠風光．所以盡管很艱苦，但是游客來這里還是可以欣賞The beautiful/stunning desert landscapes．
79．根據(jù)As a north Indian province，Ladakh supports much rare and even endangered plants and animals，which can be seen at Hemis High Altitude National Park．可知，如果想看到稀有的瀕危動植物的話，你可以去Hemis High Altitude National Park in Ladakh．
80根據(jù)第一段的最后India is one of the best places for ecotourism，可知，本文主要講述了印度是最佳生態(tài)旅游目的地之一．所以答案是The best ecotourism destinations in India．

12．The greatest recent social changes have been in the lives of women．During the twentieth century there has been a remarkable shortening of the proportion of a woman's life spent in caring for the children．A woman marrying at the end of the nineteenth century would probably have been in her middle twenties，and would be likely to have seven or eight children，four or five of whom lived till they were five years old．By the time the youngest was fifteen，the mother would have been in her early fifties and would expect to live a further twenty years，during which health made it unusual for her to get paid work..Today women marry younger and have fewer children．Usually a woman's youngest child will be fifteen when she is forty-five years and can be expected to live another thirty-five years and is likely to take paid work until retirement at sixty．Even while she has to take care of children，her work is lightened by moder living conditions．
This important change in women's life-patterns has only recently begun to have its full effect on women's economic position．Even a few years ago most girls took a full-time job after they left school..However，when they married，they usually left work at once and never returned to it．Today the school-leaving age is sixteen，many girls stay at school after that age，and though women usually marry older，more married women stay at work at least until shortly before their first child is born．Many more afterwards return to full-or-part-time work．Such changes have led to a new relationship in marriage，with the husband accepting a greater share of the duties and satisfactions of family life，and with both husband and wife sharing more equally in providing the money，and running the home，according to the abilities and interests of each of them．
24．At what age did most women marry around the 1890 according to the passage？A

D．Some children died when the were very young．
26．When she was over fifty，a late nineteenth-century motherD．
A．was usaully expected to die fiarely soon
B．would expect to work until she died
C．would be healthy enough to take up paid jobs
D．was less like to find a job even if she wanted to
27．What do we know from the passage？A
A．Husbands and wives share equal responsibilities at home．
B．More and more women are looked down upon by husbands．
C．Today women prefer to get married rather than get jobs．
D．A husband plays a greater part in looking after the children．

9．[1]Every year，lots of children die in traffic accidents，and many of these tragedies occur because child safety seats are not properly installed or are not used at all．As more and more families buy private cars，it's time to ______ the safety of children．
[2]Parents tend to let the child sit alone in the front passenger seat，or leave the child alone in the back of the car without any safety restraints，have the child held in an adult's lap，or have the child use an adult's safety belt．All of these can potentially add elements of danger for a child in a car．
[3]In the 1970s，Western countries began to research safety devices for children in cars．It was later found that special safety devices for children in cars will help to reduce injury by about 70 percent，and child safety seats play a key role in protecting children in case of traffic accidents．
[4]Since 1999，automakers have been required to put child restraint systems in cars in the United States．There are more than 25 million child safety seats in the United States，compared to only 600，000 in China．Today，more than 40 countries in the world have already issued relevant legal regulations，making it compulsory that children sit in safety seats．In Germany，the Netherlands and Japan，children under 12 years old are required to sit in child safety seats．
[5]China is a manufacturing base for child safety seats，but the market in China is still limited．As a result，while we export our products to other countries，our own children in China are rarely provided with safety seats for various reasons．We hope this situation will be improved．

6．The term culture now is more used to describe everything from the fine arts to the outlook of a business group or a sports team．In its original sense，however，culture includes all identifying aspects of a racial group，nation，or empire：its physical environment，history，and traditions，its social rules and economic structure，and its religious beliefs and arts．
The central beliefs and customs of a group are handed down from one generation to another．It is for this reason that most people regard culture as learned rather than innate．People acquire a culture because they are not born with one．The process by which a person develops a taste for regional foods，accented speech，or an outlook on the world over time，therefore，is known as enculturation （文化適應）．
Cultures are often identified by their symbols-images that are familiar and coated with meaning．Totem poles （圖騰柱） carved with animals and creative figures suggest aspects of the Native American peoples of the Pacific Northwest but more literally represent specific tribes （部落）．In Asia and India，the color of yellow is connected with temples while in ancient China it was a color only the emperor's family was allowed to wear．Thus，different cultures may respond to a symbol quite differently．For example，to some a flag may represent pride，historical accomplishments，or ideals； to others，however，it can mean danger or oppression．
To individuals unfamiliar with cultures outside their own，the beliefs，behaviors，and artistic expression of other groups can seem strange and even threatening．A society that ranks all other cultures against its own standards is considered to be ethnocentric （from the Greek ethnos，meaning"people，"and kentros，meaning"center"）．A strongly ethnocentric society assumes also that what is different from its own culture is likely to be inferior and，possibly，wrong or evil．
All people are ethnocentric to some degree，and some aspects of ethnocentrism，such as national pride，contribute to a well-functioning society．An appreciation for one's own culture，however，does not prevent acceptance and respect for another culture．History documents the long-term vigour and success of multicultural groups in which people from numerous and various cultural backgrounds live and work together．Extreme ethnocentrism，in contrast，can lead to racism-the belief that it is race and racial origin that account for variations in human character or ability and that one's own race is superior to all others．

74．What does the word"innate"in Paragraph 2 most probably mean？A
A．Instinctive．
B．Developed．
C．Believable．
D．Cultivated．
75．Which of the following is true according to the passage？A
A．Different interpretations of a symbol help to distinguish one culture from another．
B．An ethnocentric country opens welcoming arms to cultures different from its own．
C．Culture consists of some positive features of a racial group，nation or empire．
D．People from various cultural backgrounds often reach an agreement on some image．
76．What can be inferred from the passage？C
A．All aspects of ethnocentrism can produce negative effects on a society．
B．Racism is unlikely to bring about serious conflicts among different cultures．
C．Respect and acceptance of different cultures are a proper cultural attitude．
D．Countries with a strong sense of national pride play a superior role in the world．
77．Which might be the best title of the passage？D
A．Culture，the origin of racial superiority
B．Culture，a faithful mirror of history
C．Culture，the vigour of world development   
D．Culture，a distinctive identity of a nation．

Brain Drain
Imagine you are sitting in your living room and out of surprise you get a call from a friend．He tells you that he's gotten the student visa and is going to study abroad for higher education．His parents may feel it a privilege that their son is guaranteed to have a bright future and unbelievable job opportunities．（71）A  While many people believe that immigration is a personal choice that must be understood and respected，others have realized a serious problem-brain drain．Brain drain refers to the flow of highly skilled and educated people，such as doctors，engineers，scientists from less developed countries to developed countries． Brain drain has become a common social problem．（72）F These reasons are"Push"factors （因素） and"Pull"factors．The push factors include low wages and lack of satisfactory working and living conditions，and so on．The pull factors，however，include higher pay and better working conditions，better job opportunities，as well as better research equipment．
As we can see，many educated people are heading for richer countries，seeking higher wages and better working conditions．（73）D It reduces the number of creative people who can contribute to the development of their country．Meanwhile，with more successful businessmen taking their money abroad，their countries are missing an opportunity of wealth creation．（74）B Besides these economic effects，the brain drain has also social negative effects，such as the loss of improvement in research and technique．
Therefore，measures must be taken in less developed countries to avoid brain drain．（75）E   Social developments like health services and education opportunities also need improving．Otherwise，less developed countries will face an uncertain future．
A．Even you may start to admire his plans．
B．This also reduces government tax income．
C．Why should their motivations be seriously considered？
D．This of course has serious negative effects on their own countries．
E．There should be more job opportunities for highly educated people．
F．So it is important to find out the proper reasons behind the brain drain．
G．Most of the measures taken so far have not reduced the effects of brain drain．

11．Sadness is unpleasant，and in a society where personal happiness is prized above all else，there is little tolerance for falling in despair．Especially now we've got drugs for getting rid of sad feelings-whether it's after losing a job，the break-up of a relationship or the death of a loved one．So it's no surprise that more and more people are taking them．
But is this really such a good idea？A growing number of voices from the world of mental health research are saying it isn't．They fear that the increasing tendency to treat normal sadness as a disease is playing fast and loose．Sadness，they argue，serves a useful purpose-and if we lose it，we lose out．Yet many psychiatrists insist not．Sadness has a nasty habit of turning into depression they warn．Even when people are sad for good reason，they should take drugs to make themselves feel better．
So who is right？Is sadness something we cannot live without or something horrible never to touch？
There are lots of ideas about why feeling sad should become part of human life．It may be a kind of self-protection，as other primates （靈長類） also show signs of sadness．A losing monkey that doesn't show sadness after it loses a fight may be seen as continuing to challenge the winning monkey-and that could result in death．
In humans sadness has a further function：we may display sadness as a form of communication．By acting sad，we tell other community members that we need support．
Then there is the idea that creativity is connected to dark moods．There are plenty of great artists，writers and musicians who have suffered from depression or disorder．Scientists found that people with signs of depression performed better at a creative task，and negative moods make people think deeply over the unhappy experience，which allows creative processes to come to the front．There is also evidence that too much happiness can be bad for your career．A doctor found that people who scored 8 out of 10 on a happiness test were more successful in income and education than 9s or 10s．The happiest people lose their willingness to make changes to their lives that may benefit them．
53．The underlined word"this"refers toA．
A．taking medicine                                  
B．falling in despair    
C．losing a job                                       
D．feeling sad
54． The author believes sadness isC．
A．a(chǎn) good thing for people's health         
B．something horrible never to touch
C．a(chǎn) necessary function of humans'
D．a(chǎn)lways to be treated as depression
55．Some animals show their sadness in order toB．
A．cheat their enemy                      
B．protect themselves 
C．comfort the loser                      
D．challenge the winner
56．We can infer from the last paragraph thatB．
A．people with great creativity tend to be happier   
B．unhappy experiences contribute to a greater career
C．too much happiness can be bad for your career
D．the happiest people are the most successful ones．
