5．Amsterdam is one of the most popular travel destinations in the world，famous for its beautiful canals，top art museum，cycling culture，and Red Light District．It is the capital and most populous city in the Netherlands and often referred to as the"Venice of the North"because of its expansive system of bridges and canals．Here are some of the key points to remember as you plan your trip to Amsterdam．

Must-See Attractions
Most visitors begin their Amsterdam adventure in the Old Centre，which is full of traditional architecture，shopping centers，and coffee shops．Don't miss the Dam Square and the areas around Spui and Nieuwmarkt．The infamous Red Light District is also in this area，and definitely worth a visit to see what the hype （炒作） is about．You'll also want to check out Amsterdam's 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．
If You Have Time
There are several other unique districts in Amsterdam，and you should try to explore as many of them as time allows．The Canal Ring is a UNESCO World Heritage Site that was originally built to attract wealthy home owners and is a hub for celebrity spotting and nightlife today．The Plantage area has most of the city's museums，including the Jewish Historical Museum，the Scheepvaart Museum，and the botanical gardens．
Free Things to Do
•Have a picnic and bring a bottle of wine to relax and people-watch in Vondelpark
•Soak up some sun at one of the city's beaches
•Take a stroll along the canals，smell the flowers，and browse markets along the way
•Hop on one of several free ferry services across the IJ River for lovely city views
Transportation 
Travelers should be aware that Amsterdam Airport Schiphol is one of the busiest airports in the world．This airport is located about 15kilometers southwest of city center．You can catch a train from Schiphol to Amsterdam Central Station，which has many connecting routes．It's typically not a good idea to drive a car to the city center because traffic is congested and parking is difficult to find．Cycling is incredibly popular here，and it's easy to find cheap bike rentals around town．Amsterdam has a flat terrain and is a great city to explore on foot．
Money Saving Tips
•Unless you really want to see the tulips blooming，avoid booking between mid-March and mid-May．This is when hotel and flight prices surge．
•Look for accommodations in Amsterdam's 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．They're 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．

A．Amsterdam's peak season is caused by tulip blooming．
B．it's a good idea to explore Amsterdam on a canal boat．
C．you must go to the Plantage area to appreciate Van Gogh's paintings

C．Cycling Culture
D．Recommended Restaurants．

分析 本文主要讲述了去到阿姆斯特丹旅游时的各种注意事项以及为游客提供的旅游攻略．

解答 56．B 细节题．根据文章内容，阿姆斯特丹的旅游旺季是5月到10月，Unless you really want to see the tulips blooming，avoid booking between mid-March and mid-May．This is when hotel and flight prices surge．而郁金香的花期是3月中旬到4月中旬，由此可知，A错误；The top museums to visit are the Rijksmusuem，the Ann Frank House，and the Van Gogh Museum．观赏梵高的作品应该去博物馆而不是The Plantage area 故C错误，Buy train tickets at the machine instead of the counter to save a bit of money自动购票机出售的票，价格更便宜，故D错误；综合文章内容，因为阿姆斯特丹有漂亮的运河，引出乘坐船只沿运河探索是一个好主意，结合选项，故选B
57．D 推理题．根据文章内容，外出游玩欣赏美景和享用美食是密不可分的，而文章中未提及此事，结合选项，美味的饭店的推荐有可能是遗漏掉了的，结合选项，故选D

点评 本文是一个广告布告类阅读理解，题目涉及多道细节理解题，做题时结合原文和题目有针对性的找出相关语句进行仔细分析，结合选项选出正确答案．推理判断题也是要在抓住关键句子的基础上合理的分析才能得出正确答案，切忌胡乱猜测，一定要做到有理有据．

My dad would cry every time he told US this story and SO would we．He would say sometimes love is more powerful than doctor，and my dad-who died just a few months after the little girl gave the picture--loved every single child in that hospital．

17．At least once each winter I manage to get a good flight in the middle of a snowstorm．Last Sunday was that flight．My gliding（滑翔的）partners had looked at the weather reports of showers and decided to stay at home．People say that you shouldn't fly by yourself，but on that day I felt the urge to go flying and so headed for my favorite gliding site．
I had the mountain ridge to myself．After a smooth lift-off，I floated stably in the breeze，feeling at peace with myself and the world．I looked across the valley to Bedford and a moment later saw the town disappear in a band of snow that was moving towards me．
The breeze remained strong enough for flying and I knew that as long as the visibility was good，it was OK for me to stay in the air．The snow moved in and swirled around me．It was a light dry snow．The day was already very quiet but，somehow，the light snow made it even more silent．I felt like a snowflake．
Two bald eagles joined me．They didn't pay me any attention and spent a few minutes flying around the ridge before disappearing．I flew through another band of snow．I had been flying for about 45 minutes when I next looked across the valley．I could see there were more bands of snow to come and the breeze was dying too．
It was time to go home，get in a hot bath and warm up．I couldn't wait to tell my gliding partners that they had missed out on a perfect flight．

28．Why did the author's gliding partners refuse to fly on that day？B
A．They preferred to fly alone                        
B．The weather did not permit
C．They did not like winter flights            
D．The equipment was not adequate
29．Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word"visibility"in Paragraph 3？D
A．Weather               
B．Skill              
C．Possibility             
D．View
30．What can be inferred from the passage？C
A．The bald eagle can cause damage to the author's flight．
B．The author will land and go home after the snow stops．
C．Brand of snow will be a great threat to the author's flight．
D．The author will hesitate to share his experience with his partners．
31．What could be the best title for the article？D
A．The First Flight Alone                               
B．A Narrow-Escape Flight
C．One Never-Again Flight                    
D．An Impressive Winter Flight．
14．When you enjoy a speech or a performance，you probably feel like clapping to show your admiration．But what if you were forbidden to do it？
In July，Elanora Heights Public School，which is on Sydney's northern beaches，did just this，banning students from clapping out of respect for school community members who are sensitive to noise．When students attend an assembly，teachers will tell the audience to conduct a silent cheer if needed．Instead of clapping，the students are free to punch the air，pull excited faces and twist their body on the spot．The rule was introduced to respect a teacher with a hearing condition that causes sensitivity to noise．Teachers have also found the silent cheers to be a great way to consume children's abundant energy．
GQ．com editor Lauran Larson wrote that this ban comes after a major push in Australia towards political correctness in schools．Elanora Heights Public School's ban on clapping in favor of silent cheering comes after several schools which have banned hugging．In April，hugging was banned at a Geelong primary school and children were told to find other ways to show affection．The schools has banned hugging，singing Christmas carols，celebrating Australia Day and singing the word"black"in the nursery rhyme"baa baa black sheep"．In July，teachers at t he Cheltenham Girls High School in northwest Sydney were reported to have been banned from calling students"girls"，"ladies"or"women"．
Political correctness is defined by Merriam-Webster as"agreeing with the idea that people should be careful to not use language or behave in a way that could offend a particular group of people"．The goal of political correctness is to respect every group in society．
The debate around political correctness has been going on for many years．"What I think the political correctness debate is really about the power to be able to define．The definers want the power to name．And the defined are now taking that power away from them．"said Toni Morrison，a famous US novelist and editor．
Fortunately，this story was finally adjusted on 22 July to clarify that the policy was brought in because of a teacher's condition and applied to gatherings only．Despite the good ideas behind the ban on clapping，it may make school less fun for the kids．"If we silence kids now，the quiet air punching will grow until the fists of their rage beat us all．"said Larson．
 
32．Why were t he students at Elanora Heights Public School forbidden to clap？C
A．Students are always full of energy and fight with each other．
B．Some students like calling students"girls"，"ladies"or"women"．
C．Some people may be offended by the noise of clapping．
D．Students find it interesting to conduct a silent cheer．
33．How can the students at Elanora Heights Public School show their admiration at assemblies？D
A．They can applaud as loudly as they can．
B．They can punch the excited faces．
C．They can hug and sing Christmas carols．
D．They can perform a quiet air punching．
34．In Morrison's opinion，what leads to political correctness？C
A．Politicians are in favor of it．
B．It has also received many criticisms．
C．It is a matter of competing for power．
D．There is heated debate about it．
35．What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph mean？C
A．Kids will obey the rule．
B．Kids will have much fun．
C．Kids will get angry．
D．Kids will become quiet．
15．假如你叫李华，最近你的美国笔友Tony要来北京体验中国传统文化，请根据他的问题回复邮件，为他设计北京一日游活动，帮助他体验中国传统文化．请描述你们打算去的地方、具体的活动安排、以及这样安排的理由．

Hi!Tony，
I'm glad that you will come to Beijing soon．There are lots of places of interest in Beijing【高分句型一】．In order to experience traditional Chinese culture better，I do recommend BeijingHutong tour．
First，we're going to go sightseeing along the lanes in Hutong．The houses in Hutong are traditional，such as Siheyuan．From them，you can imagine how people used to live．Of course you can stop anywhere you like and it is interesting to take pictures or have a close look．Second，we are going to pay visits to a Hutong family．We can have lunch there and have a short talk with the local residents，which can help you learn about many stories of the past．We can not only appreciate the dramaticchanges that Hutong has undergone，but also see evidence of the history of Beijing，experience the old way of life and experience traditional Beijing culture．
In a word，Hutongs are the homes of common people in the past．It is easy to know how people lived and had fun in the old days【高分句型二】．So it is a good choice to learn about traditional Chinese culture．
I'm looking forward to your coming．
Yours，
Li Hua．
