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．

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．

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．
66．What's the main idea of Paragraph 2？（no more than 10 words）
Elements of danger for a child in a car．

1）sit alone in the front passenger seat
2）leave the child alone in the back of the car without any safety restraints
3）have the child held in an adult's lap
70．What does the author want to tell us by writing such an article？（no more than 12 words ）The situation of using safety seats in China should be improved．．
16．[1]In America，when the eighth graders leave the middle school，they are often worried about moving to the high schoo1．It is a hard time for them，but it can be an exciting one as well．To make it easier，students need to get familiar with their school．
[2]Even though they've done this already in the middle schoo1，it's still important to find where their classrooms are．Most schools take students to the high school for a visit at the end of their eighth grade year．And most schools also have a freshman speech for parents and students before the first year begins．Sometimes the main office will give away a map of the schoo1．This can help students and parents to find different places of the schoo1．
[3]One way to know your high school more and make new friends is to _______________or play a sport．Schools often offer chances to join different clubs and sports．Fall activities begin in August before the first day of schoo1．If you are not interested in sports，there are clubs for any interest，such as drama，dance，chess，photography，community service，etc．These clubs allow students from different grades．By joining an activity，students can find new friendships，not to mention improving their chances in future college applications．The school office will have a 1ist of activities offered at the schoo1 and information on how to join them．
[4]What's more，to have a great start to a high school year，students can write down some of their worries and ask for help from teachers and school workers．

①make new friends②improve their chances in future college applications．

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 （文化适应）．
Cultures are often identified by their symbols-images that are familiar and coated with meaning．Totem poles （图腾柱） 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．

13．A decades-old tradition，illustrated in a modem children's book，links the sweetness of honey with the joy of learning to read．
The grandpa held a jar of honey so that all the family could see．He then dipped a spoon into it and put some honey on the cover of a small book．
The little girl had just turned five．Stand up，little one，"he asked the girl softly．"I did this for your mother，your uncles，your
old brother，and now you!"
Then，he handed the book to her．"Taste f"
She touched the honey with her finger and put it into her mouth．
"What  is  the  taste？"the  grandpa  asked．
The little girl answered，"Sweet!"
Then all．the family said in a single voice，"Yes，and so is knowledge，but knowledge is from the bee that made that sweet honey，you have to go after it through the pages of a book!"The little girl knew that the promise to read was at last hers．Soon she was going to learn to read．
This is the beginning of a profoundly moving children's book entitled Thank You，Mr．Falker．
In this book，Patricia Polacco writes of her own passion to read，inspired by the honey on the book．It wasn't until fifth grade that she met her beloved teacher who provided the help that she needed to finally unlock the magic of the written world．
The child learning to read is admitted into a collective memory by way of books．And with the printed words that are active with．meaning，the child bees acquainted（熟悉的） with a common past which he or she renews，to a greater or lesser degree，in every reading．Much as the author of the book Thank You，Mr．Falker puts it，"Almost as if it were magic，or as if light poured into her brain，the words and sentences started to take shape on the page as they never had before-And she understood the whole thing---Then she went into the living room and found the book on a shelf，the very book that her grandpa had shown her so many years ago．She spooned  honey on the cover and tasted the sweetness---Then she held the book，honey and all，close to her chest．She could feel tears roll down her cheeks，but they weren't tears of sadness-she way happy，so very happy．"

10．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．
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 （灵长类） 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 good thing for people's health         
B．something horrible never to touch
C．a necessary function of humans'
D．always 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．
