【题目】阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项。
Guilin is my favorite city in China because of its beauty, its waterways, its cafes, and most of all because I met my wife there. It is her hometown and we will both retire there in a few years.
Not only is Guilin a fascinating city, there are many interesting places to visit within a short drive from there. The Ling (sometimes called Lingqu) canal is the oldest canal in the world. It was built about 2,200 years ago and connects two major river systems, the Yangtze (to the east) and the Pearl River.
Longsheng Rice Terraces (龙胜梯田) is another manmade wonder that was built around 650 years ago. I have some photos of both of these places in my China Daily homepage Albums. Gudong Waterfall Park(古东瀑布) is another attraction that is worth visiting. The hike to the top of all these waterfalls isn’t very difficult and if you want, you can take a ride to the bottom on a personal rail car whose speed you can control with a brake.
If you want you can also climb up some of the waterfalls with the help of chains that are placed for the convenience of amateur climbers.
I have only been in Guilin during the winter and spring but my wife tells me it gets pretty hot in the summertime. That’s OK because I grew up in the Midwest of the US where it gets very hot and humid during the summer months. It rarely freezes in the winter and the spring and autumn are pleasant. Guilin receives a lot of rain, especially in late spring and early summer. Because of this there is lush(多汁的) plant life and many large trees in the area.
Being from California I’m used to having a car to get around. In fact, it’s practically a necessity in California. But in Guilin almost everything is within walking distance and if you need to go further, public buses are available every five minutes on the busy streets and every 10-15 minutes just about everywhere else. There are plenty of taxis too and most trips are only six yuan.
It’s a perfect place to retire.
（1）What’s the best title of the passage?
A.Guilin Is My Favorite Chinese City

【题目】阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项。
The marshmallow(棉花糖), a white, cottony, sweet confection (甜食)is synonymous(同义) with “temptation” in the US. This all began 50 years ago when psychologist Walter Mischel sat 5-year-old children down at a table and gave them a simple choice: they could eat one marshmallow now or, if they wait, receive two marshmallows later.
Mischel and his colleagues at Stanford wanted to understand the nature of self-control. If children could avoid eating the marshmallow over a set period of time, they were told they’d receive two as reward. If they couldn’t resist temptation, they wouldn’t get the second treat.
The Marshmallow Test became famous due to a remarkable discovery made some years later. Those children who were able to resist temptation for the reward of two marshmallows grew into adults who were more successful in school, work and relationships. They were also thinner, calmer, more sociable, better at managing their money, and less likely to be addicted to any substances.
It seems having the ability to wait for two marshmallows is quite important. In the US, there are “Don’t Eat the Marshmallow!” T-shirts, and investment companies have used the marshmallow test to encourage retirement planning, according to The Atlantic.
Many people have interpreted the results of the Marshmallow Test to mean fate is predetermined by one’s biology. But Mischel has just published a new book — The Marshmallow Test: Mastering Self-Control — which claims the true meaning of the experiments is just the opposite.
“The most important thing we learned is that self-control — the ability to regulate one’s own emotions — involves a set of skills that can be taught, and learned,” Mischel told journalism website Vox.com. “They’re acquirable. Nothing is predetermined.”
What’s more, he says, these experiments provide concrete lessons about self-control we can use as adults. Grown-ups can use these methods to quit smoking, or stick to a diet, or save money.
Mischel and other psychologists argue that the battle between instant gratification (one marshmallow now) and long-term gratification (two marshmallows later) is really a battle between two different systems in the brain.
（1）The purpose of the “Marshmallow Test” done by Mischel and his colleagues was_________.
A.to know the children’s self-control ability
B.to have a test about the children’s quality
C.to prove “resisting temptation” is a good quality
D.to find some methods for adults to quit smoking, or save money
（2）Why did the Marshmallow Test become famous some years later?
A.Because the test was a remarkable discovery．
B.Because the experiment provided concrete lessons about self-control．
C.Because the ones who resisted temptation in the test became more successful later．
D.Because it proved the ability to wait for two marshmallows is quite important．
（3）What does the underlined sentence in the 4th paragraph probably mean?
A.You should know that the marshmallow can’t be eaten．
B.You should know that the marshmallow tastes awful．
C.It is just an interesting sentence, and has no real meaning．
D.You need to wait, you need to resist temptation．
（4）In Mischel’s book The Marshmallow Test: Mastering Self-Control, he may tell us except ___________.
A.having the ability to wait for two marshmallows is quite important
B.adults can use self-control to quit smoking, or stick to a diet, or save money
C.personality is not predetermined by one’s biology
D.the ability of self-control can be taught, and learned
（5）Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the text?
A.Mischel thought the Marshmallow Test proved that “fate is predetermined by biology”.
B.The ability to regulate one’s own emotions involves a set of acquired skills．
C.Instant gratification and long-term gratification is a battle in the brain．
D.Some parts of the brain allow us to control our attention．
