The National Scenic Byways Programme covers 150 memorable roads. Some are natural routes ， such as Route 1 along the Californian coast. Others focus on his-tory(such as Route 6) or man-made attractions (the Las Vegas Strip). For each, you are provided with a map, told the route's length and how long it is allowed, and given detailed suggestions on sights and stop-offs.

www. oyster, com

This is the best website for reviews of hotels in US cities and resorts. The reviews are impressively thorough― covering locations, rooms, cleanliness, food and so on. Importantly, these are not promotional photos by the ho?tels, but more honest and revealing ones taken by in?spectors. Search facilities are excellent. From the 243 hotels reviewed in New York, you can narrow down what you are looking for by locations, facilities and styles,or just pick out a selection of the best.

www. lOlusholidays. co.uk

This is the latest offering that features 101 holiday ideas to theUSA. It's an impressively diverse selection, ranging from touring in the footsteps of Martin Luther King to a golfing break in Arizona and a cycling and wine-tasting trip in California's Napa Valley. Narrow down what you are looking for―by price, region, theme and who will be travelling―and then just the photos of the relevant holidays remain on view. It's a really clever design.

www. mousesavers. com

Walt Disney World in California can make dreams come true,but the price is not affordable for the majority of people.

So turn to long established Mousesavers. com,dedi?cated to giving big discounts on tickets,hotels and dining at Walt Disney World. The website also offers general money-saving tips, suggestions for cheap and free stuff and brief coverage of other Florida and California theme parks.

A [2015'甘肃天水市高三二联] The day when the jobs were handed out was one of the most exciting moments for all the children in the class. It took place during the first week of the term. Every kid was given a job for which they would be responsible for the rest of that school year.

Some jobs were more interesting than others, and the children were eager to be given one of the best ones. When giving them out, the teacher took into account which pupils had been most responsible during the previous year. During the previous year Rita had carried out the teacher's instruc?tions perfectly. All the children knew Rita would be given the best job.

But there was a big surprise. Each child received a nor?mal job. But Rita's job was very different. She was given a little box containing some sand and one ant. Though the teacher insisted that this ant was very special, Rita felt disap?pointed. Most of her classmates felt sorry for her. Even her father became very angry with the teacher and he encouraged Rita to pay no attention to this insignificant pet. However, Rita preferred to show the teacher her error by doing some?thing special with that job of little interest.

Rita started investigating all about her little ant and gave the ant the best food, and it grew quite a bit bigger.

One day, a man, who looked very important, came into their classroom and declared, "Your class has been chosen to accompany me, this summer, on a journey to the tropical rainforest, where we will investigate all kinds of insects. Among all the schools of this region, your class has best cared for the little ant.，，

That day the school was filled with joy and celebration. Everyone thanked Rita for having been so patient and respon?sible. And many children learnt that to be given the most im?portant task you have to know how to be responsible even in what are the smallest tasks.

1. What does the underlined sentence mean?

A. Each child got an important job.

B. Each child got an interesting job.

C. The perfect student got the job of everyone's prefer?ence.

D. The most responsible student got the job of least in?terest.

2.What is Rita's attitude to her father's suggestion?
A. Negative. B. Uncertain.

C. Totally positive. D. Acceptive.

3.We can infer that the man who made the declaration is a

A. hunter B. director

C. biologist D. principal

4. Which would be the best title for the passage?

A. Never complain about life

B. Small tasks can lead to fortunes

C. Men are best known by their friends

D. Responsibility and intelligence bring good luck

B [2015 •齐鲁名校高三调研]

As you are probably aware, the latest job markets news isn't good:the rate of unemployment is still more than 9 per cent,and the rate of new job growth has fallen close to zero. That's bad for the economy,of course. And it

may be especial?ly discouraging if you happen to be looking for a job or hoping to change careers right now. But it actually shouldn't matter to you nearly as much as you think.

That's because job growth numbers don't matter to job hunters as much as job staff-turnover(人员流动)data. After all, existing jobs open up every day due to promotions, resig?nations ,and retirements. (Yes,people are retiring even in this economy. )In both good times and bad, staff turnover creates more openings than economic growth does. Even in June of 2007,when the economy was still moving ahead,job growth was only 132,000,while staff turnover was 4. 7 million!

And as it turns out, even today―with job growth near zero―over 4 million job hunters are being hired every month.

I don't mean to imply that overall job growth doesn't have an impact on one's ability to land a job. It's true that if total employment were higher, it would mean more jobs for all of us to choose from(and compete for). And it's true that there are currently more people applying for each available job opening, regardless of whether it's a new one or not.

But what often distinguishes those who land jobs from those who don't is their ability to stay motivated. They're willing to do the hard work of identifying their valuable skills;be creative about where and how to look;learn how to present themselves to potential employers; and keep going, even after repeated rejections. The Bureau of Labour Statis?tics data show that 2. 7 million people who wanted and were available for work hadn't hunted within the last four weeks and were no longer even classified as unemployed.

So don't let the headlines fool you into giving up. Four million people get hired every month in the US. You can be one of them.

5.The author tends to believe that the high rate of unemployment ________ .

A. takes job opportunities from people

B. prevents many people from changing careers

C. should not stop people from looking for a job

D. does not mean the US economy is worsening

6. What does the author say about overall job growth?

A. It doesn't have much effect on individual job seekers.

B. It increases people's confidence in the economy.

C. It gives a ray of hope to the unemployed.

D. It doesn't mean greater job security for the employed.

7.What is the key to finding a job according to the author?
A. Education. B. Intelligence.

C. Persistence. D. Experience.

8.What do we learn about the Bureau of Labour Statistics unemployment data?

A. They clearly indicate how healthy the economy is.

B. They provide the public with the latest information.

C. They warn of the structural problems in the economy.

D. They don't include those who have stopped looking for a job.

Few politicians have been as respected in life or honoured in death as former South African President Nelson Mandela. Since the anti-apartheid (反对种族隔离)hero and South Africa's first black president died at 95 in his Johannesburg home on Dec. 5， people around the world, no matter how different their backgrounds and political beliefs are, have been memorializing him in different languages and in different ways.

Mandela was not perfect, and the country he leaves behind still faces many problems. But despite his short?comings ,he leaves the world a heritage to treasure, said a Beijing News editorial on Saturday.

At one time,South Africawas the crudest corner of the world, having serious apartheid. At that time black and white people's living an equal life in the coun?try was an unachievable dream. Both the introduction of democracy(民主)and the avoidance of what would have in all likelihood been Africa's bloodiest civil war were regarded as missions impossible.

It was Mandela who led South Africans to put an end to apartheid, realize social harmony and build a dream nation. There may still be disagreements from time to time, but people seek to resolve their problems and differences through civilized means.

This is the most valuable heritage of Mandela, who endured 27 years of hardships in prison and walked out with new reflections and thoughts with which to guide all races to own their equal rights and interests. His perseverance and tolerance won him supporters both at home and abroad and moved even his enemies.

The reason why South Africa has realized a stable change and avoided hatred and killing between different races is the establishment of a foundation of mutual trust and recognition of the need for social order, rhe co-existence of different human races under the principle of equality and their resorting to peaceful, democratic and legal means to resolve differences are part of Mandela's memorable contribution.

Since 1999, Mandela lived a quiet and retired life. He resigned at the peak of his political life and avoided repeating the mistakes of many political figures of his time. He performed a politician's mission in an almost perfect way.

1. What can we know about the situation from the un?derlined sentence in the third paragraph?

A.It seemed difficult to realize democracy and avoid the civil war at that time.

B.Democracy could not be realized unless peoplewon the civil war.

C.The bloodiest civil war prevented the introduction of democracy toSouth Africa.

D.The introduction of democracy avoided the civil war inSouth Africa.

2.Which of the following about Mandela's contribution to his country is NOT true?

A.Mandela led his people to put an end to apartheid.

B.Mandela inspired his people to deal with problems and differences in civilized ways.

C.Mandela taught his people to realize the impor?tance of social order.

D.Mandela created a dream nation for his people without any disagreements.

3.According to the last paragraph, the writer's attitude towards Mandela's retirement is .

A. critical B. supportive

C. indifferent D. doubtful

4.What words can best describe Nelson Mandela ac?cording to the passage?

A.Quiet and wise.

B.Hard-working and wealthy.

C.Perseverant and selfless.

D.Brave and aggressive.

In our life, we often regret what we did and which wecouldn't do. Actually, it doesn't benefit us at all. As for most of us, we missed many chance to earn more money, to get a high position and to realize our dreams. We often regret that we don't seize those opportunities, thus feel upset. Al?though we do know regretting the past is no benefit, but we still can't help doing it.

To avoid the problem below, we need to pay more atten?tion to what you are doing now, making us busier and having no time to recall the past. Moreover, we'd better set reasona?bly goals one by one. Only by doing so can we struggle for our future better.

Isn't 44 time for us to start teaching young people that silence is golden and

that you can do a lot of interesting things without the accompaniment of noise?
