13．In many cases，you ability to understand the local language directly affects the quality of your travel experience．For some travelers，the challenge of learning a new tongue is one of the joys of travel，and as a result，they spend much of their time in conversations with local citizens．Others will find that just learning to read the most common signs and use every-day greetings is enough？
No matter which view you agree with，it's necessary to take some time to learn some of the simple phrases of the new language before you go．One way of finishing this task is by listening to the new language．A phrase book can help expand your vocabulary，but hearing the sounds of the different spoken words is an excellent activity that can be done right in the comfort of your home．You can see movies in the new language or listen to the tapes or CDs．You can also download some listening material from the Internet．Just spending 15minutes a night will improve your language skills．
When you arrive in the new land，begin by greeting new friends in their own tongue．This may come easy or it could take some time to learn，but it's interesting．If you can't do this，then it means that you will need more practice and patience to learn these very important words．You can go out during the day and begin one-one-one conversations with shop owners，business-men hand taxi drivers．This should not be one until you have learned some of the most common phrases，but one you begin to go shopping in a second language your communication skills will start to improve rapidly．You can also watch the local TV or listen to the local radio．For example，the advertisements（广告）will help you recognize the correct pronunciation of local street names．

25．What does the underlined word"tongue"in Paragraph 1 refer to？A

分析 本文是一篇科教类阅读文．主要讲述了如何在旅行中学好外语，作者向我们表达了在外旅行掌握当地语言的重要性，以及学习外语的方法．

解答 25-27ADC
25．A词义猜测题．根据"For some travelers，the challenge of learning a new tongue is one of the joys of travel"可知，对一些旅行者说，学习一种新语言的挑战是旅行的乐趣之一．tongue在此为"语言"之意．有题目选项可知，A语言，B迹象，C词汇，D招呼．故选A．
26．D细节理解题．根据"You can go out during the day and begin one-one-one conversations with shop owners，business-men hand taxi drivers．This should not be one until you have learned some of the most common phrases"可知只有在学会了一些最常用的短语之后才能和外面的店家，商人，出租车司机等进行对话．故选D．
27．C推理判断题．根据文章最后一段中的"You can go out during the day and begin one-one-one conversations with shop owners，business-men hand taxi drivers"和"You can also watch the local TV or listen to the local radio"我们可以看出作者主要讲述了在旅行中如何学好一门语言，比如外出和商人，出租车司机对话或者看当地地方台的电视或者收听当地广播．故选C．

3．The disease Ebola is spreading in West Africa．The situation frightens both local citizens and travelers．
There is no vaccine or special treatment．It is difficult to stop Ebola from spreading．It moves easily from person to person．The disease strikes its victims through direct contact with the blood or other fluids from the body of an infected person．
The bodies of victims still contain the virus days after they die．Local traditions and burial and funeral customs also make the sickness hard to control．Doctors say it is important to identify an Ebola case early to prevent others from becoming infected．Patients suffer from high body temperature，bleeding and diarrhea（腹泻）．
Only a few prevention measures exist．The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in the U．S．suggest staying away from countries with confirmed Ebola cases．People at increased threat include those working in animal research，health care workers and others caring for patients in the community．
In the past，cases of Ebola have been confirmed in the Republic of the Congo，C?te d'Ivoire，Democratic Republic of the Congo，Gabon，Sudan，and Uganda．
Doctors advise careful protective measures if you must go to an area where Ebola exists．
If Ebola has been identified directly around you，the C．D．C．and W．H．O．strongly suggest wearing protective clothing．Cover your face and hands．Goggles can protect the eyes．Try to remove Ebola germs with cleaners that fight infection．
81．How does the disease Ebola spread？（No more than 16words）Through direct contact with blood or other fluids from the body of an infected person．
82．What makes the sickness hard to control？（No more than 10words）The virus，local traditions and burial and funeral customs．
83．What symptoms do the Ebola patients have？（No more than 7words）
High body temperature，bleeding and diarrhea．
84．Who are at increased threat according to the passage？（No more than 17words）People working in animal research and caring for patients in the community and health care workers．

1．It is 8：45 a．m．and a line of hungry children eagerly await breakfast outside a classroom．Moments later they burst in，running over to a table covered with cereals，spreads，milk and juice to enjoy a satisfying，healthy breakfast．
This is familiar for Cannel McConnell，founder of The Magic Breakfast，a charity that delivers morning meals to children who would otherwise go without．
Ms McConnell created her organization 16 years ago after hearing from school staff that they had to feed their pupils before lessons started，as many were so hungry as to sleep in class．
The Magic Breakfast has a simple goal：to remove child hunger in the mornings by 2020．It is an example of one of many organizations using fresh produce to handle food poverty．
The charity has 200 partner schools in the capital and another 280 across the rest of England．There are 60 London schools on the waiting list．On average，49 pupils receive breakfast in each school，meaning the charity helps 9，800 young people in London every day．
Ms McConnell says the Magic Breakfast has made a notable impact："Every morning pupils come in，eat breakfast and socialise with one another．In terms of their academic development，they are sharper as the breakfast gives them the energy to get through the day and to learn．"
When asked about the obstacle to their goal，McConnell says，"The big thing we need，quite simply，is cash．The consequence （后果） of child hunger is that they will fail at school and we have to deal with fallout．Feeding hungry children so they can learn is no tough task．Breakfast is an ideal solution．As well as cash，we are looking for firms to donate food．I'd love for people to support us．And I'd love for us to proudly say we have sorted this problem out．"

A．She's calling on more people to help with her charity．
B．She feels greatly concerned about the future of her charity．
C．She's confident of providing enough breakfast for British children．
D．She feels proud to have solved the problem of child hunger in England．
31．What can be a suitable title for，the text？C

8．Correctly understanding the signals that people give away with their body language is a useful skill to understand what they are really thinking，regardless of what they are saying．But research has proven that some body language is often misunderstood．
The Eyes of a Liar
Most people say that someone cannot look another person in the eyes and lie，but that is not true．It has been found that some liars have no problem staring someone in the eyes and lying．
And what about people who avoid eye contact （接触）？Are they dishonest？In fact，nervousness and shyness can make people drop their eyes，even when they're telling the truth．
Eye Contact is Good
Many believe that more eye contact is better．However，directing a fixed stare at another usually makes the other person uncomfortable．Eye contact that lasts a few seconds is best for showing attention and sincerity．Any eye contact longer than that may be regarded by the other person as rude or aggressive．
Hands Behind the Back
Some people mistake a person putting their hands behind their back when standing as a sign of power．This type of body language is actually not a sign of strength but that of someone who is not trustworthy．People like to see a person's hands in order to know what they are doing with them．To gain others'trust，a person should keep their hands front．
Fast-Talkers Can't Be Trusted
Many people have been faced with，a fast-talking salesman who has tried to fool them into buying something．But fast-talk doesn't necessarily mean someone is trying to bamboozle you．On the contrary，slower speakers who take too many pauses may be trying to make up details as they go along．
Remember to take all things into consideration-cultures，societies，personal habits-and use as much information as possible when judging another person based on his or her body language．

32．Which of the following is true about eye contact？B
A．People who avoid eye contact are dishonest．
B．Proper eye contact shows attention and sincerity．
C．A long stare at others is considered good manners．
D．Looking into someone's eyes can make them tell the truth．
33．When communicating with others，we should keep our hands front toC．
A．show our belief in themB．defend ourselves from harm
C．show that we can be relied onD．prove that we are powerful
34．The underlined word"bamboozle"in the last paragraph can be replaced by"D"．
A．impressB．attackC．approachD．cheat
35．What can be the best title of the passage？B
A．Ways to Use the Right Body Language
B．Misbeliefs about Some Body Language
C．How to Judge a Person by Body Language
D．Body Language Gives Away Your Real Thoughts．

The New York Times has changed a lot in the past 10years，embracing digital subscriptions and growing into online video and specialty areas like cooking．It has not been enough to prepare the company for the future，according to the paper's own 2020report（31）F on Tuesday．
"While the past two years have been a time of significant innovation，the pace must speed up，"the authors wrote in the opening of the report．"Too often，digital progress has been accomplished through workarounds；now we must tear apart the barriers．We must（32）K between mission and tradition：what we do because it's essential to our values and what we do because we've always done it．"
The report indicates how far the paper has come in（33）H itself to the digital age while also pointing out what needs to be done．
The areas that need（34）D are focused on the newsroom，particularly in the tools and internal structures that journalists must deal with to produce their work．
Many of the report's recommendations are（35）I to anyone who closely follows the Times or newspapers in general：A（n）（36）B away from print's outsized importance on the newsroom's operations，better ways to include multimedia in stories and a renewed effort at creating a more diverse newsroom with a variety of skills．
The paper has an ongoing goal that started in 2016of doubling digital revenue to $800million by 2020．"To （37）G our future，we need to expand considerably our number of subscribers by 2020．"
The report also calls into question the formats on which the Times-and most other newspapers-rely，namely a mix of news stories and features that are text heavy，"Too much of our daily report remains（38）E by long texts．"the report states．
The report stresses that the Times should do more to educate readers．"Our readers are（39）C for advice from The Times．Too often，we don't offer it，or offer it only in print-centric forms．"the report states．Perhaps the most interesting part of the report comes at the very bottom in the form of comments from the paper's own journalists．Reporters said they would like to see（40）A in choice of how to tell certain stories，and some disagreement about what kind of tone the Times should embrace going forward．

5．Weather experts said this year could be one of the strongest EL Nino events in recorded history．El Nino means severe weather conditions in parts of the world．In eastern Africa，for example，Kenya and Uganda are preparing for possible flooding．Yet South Africa and Malawi are already dealing with extremely dry weather．
El Nino is Spanish for"the child"．It usually begins in December，near the celebration of te birth of Jesus Christ．In fact，the weather event was named in his honor．El Nino develops when winds off the west coast of South America weaken．This permits warm water in the western Pacific to expand toward the east and the Americas．At the same time，clouds and rain over the warm water move east，too．El Nio conditions normally appear only about twice every 10 years．Usually，El Nino conditions continue for about 12to 18months．They bring warm weather to some areas．These areas become wetter than normal，while others become drier．
The United Nations Children's Fund warns that many people are at risk from hunger，disease and water shortages resulting from El Nino．In the east and southern Africa up to 11million children could be affected．East African countries usually experience heavy rainfall during the El Nino．Southern Africa usually has little rainfall which may lead to wildfires or drought（干旱）．
Weather changes caused by El Nino depend on the strength of the condition．In the early 1980s，strong El Nino was linked to dry weather in Australia and Asia，rain and flooding in South America and high temperatures in many parts of the U．S．The years later，smaller El Nino caused trouble in parts of the U．S．It caused severe floods in the Southeast and the Middle West．Tom Di Leberto is a meteorologist（气象学家） at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration in Washington，D．C．He said this year could be the third strongest El Nino on record．But we will not know for sure until all the weather records are examined．
