16．The influence of America is increasing in my country．Spanish people drink Coca Cola.wear blue jea——青夏教育精英家教网—

16．The influence of America is increasing in my country．Spanish people drink Coca Cola，wear blue jeans，watch Hollywood movies，listen to American music，and eat fast food，and they do these things every day．
I think that American movies are a good way to spread American culture because people are often influenced by what they see in the movies．Most of the programs and documentaries （纪录片） we watch on TV are from America，and most of the movies we go to see are made in Hollywood．In the last few years，the government has tried to protect the Spanish movies．Now，in our cinemas，at least twenty percent of the movies which are shown must be from Spain or from other countries in Europe．
American culture is a part of Spanish life now．It's certain that many things from America are as much a part of people's lives as Spanish things．For example，Coca Cola is as familiar to everybody as any typical Spanish product．I've known about Coca Cola for my whole life．
However，it's different with Western fast food．For example，I don't think McDonald's is as successful in Spain as it is in other countries．In my opinion，one of the reasons may be the lifestyle of the Spanish people．The Spanish people normally eat at home．On the other hand，maybe McDonald's hamburgers will eventually replace the famous Spanish tapas．It's true that in every city in Spain you can find a McDonald's，and it is more popular among the Spanish children than among the adults．In any case，it's obvious that American culture is becoming more and more a part of our lives every day．

13．From the first paragraph we can know thatA．
A．the influence of America on Spain can be found everywhere
B．most Spanish people don't like to listen to their own music
C．fast food spreads from Spain to the United States
D．some Spanish actors go to America to improve their acting skills

B．Hollywood movies．
C．McDonald's．
D．American music．
15．Why did the government set some rules for the films shown in Spain？C
A．To protect foreign culture in Spain．
B．To earn more money from Spanish films．

D．To unite the European Community．

15．Sooner or later，most students are to take some form of English examinations．Often the more successful students are better prepared．However，sometimes students who do well have better test taking skills．These abilities really have nothing to do with understanding English better．They are skills that make taking the test easier，and therefore provide better results．
Here are some very important-and often ignored-guidelines to taking a test successfully．
Do not insist on completing each question before going to the next．This is extremely important．Remember one question may only be worth one point!You will become nervous when you fail to find out its answer，making you lose your concentration and leading to worse results．However，answering the questions you are sure you know results in your being more relaxed and feeling more confident．
Go through the test a second time working out the answers to more difficult questions．Sometimes questions asked are answered in later questions asking for different things．
Usually（but not always） a strong first impulse（冲动） means we know the answer and we don't really have to think about it too much．Going back to think about it usually makes you unsure and often causes a mistake．This is very common，so be very careful!
If you don't know the answer，write something．If you are answering a 4possibility multiple choice question you will still have a 25% chance of being correct!
Taking a test is as much for you as is for your teacher，so never cheat．If you cheat，you don't help yourself in the long run．

1．In the first paragraph，the writer stresses the importance ofC．

A．pay much attention to their testing skills．

14．Are you a volcano lover？Here is a list of some of the world's most beautiful volcanoes that our travel agency can offer you to visit．Don't miss them!
Mount Mayon，the Philippines
Located about 450km southeast of Manila on the island of Luzon，Mount Mayon is the
most active volcano in the Philippines； a September 2014eruption forced thousands to flee the area．Those who hike the volcano are rewarded with views of the towns in the Albay province and the Pacific Ocean．But even those who prefer the view from a distance have a historical good point at the Cagsawa Ruins，once an 18th Century Franciscan church that was destroyed by an 1814eruption．
Kilauea and Marina Kea，Hawaii
Hawaii's volcanoes are known for their active eruptions and extraordinary scenes．Mauna Kea is around one million years old，while Kilauea is he youngest volcano in Hawaii and has been erupting continuously since 1983．The lava falls straight into the sea，creating fantastic forms of black rocks and smoke clouds．
Mount Kelimutu，Indonesia
Kelimutu's three mysterious crater lakes attract both scientists and tourists to the island of Flores in Indonesia's East Nusa Tenggara province．One is emerald green （翡翠绿），another dark red，and the third pitch black．Scientists say the lakes take on such colors because the volcanic gases met the lakes'minerals centuries ago．

53．People who hike Mount Mayon can enjoy the following EXCEPTD．
A．views of the towns in the Albay province
B．views of the Pacific Ocean
C．views of the Cagsawa Ruins
D．views of Indonesia's East Nusa Tenggara province
54．According to the text，KilaueaA．
A．is an active volcano
B．stopped erupting in 1983
C．is the youngest volcano in the world
D．forced thousands to flee in 2014
55．The colors of Kelimutu's three mysterious crater lakes are due toC．
A．water pollution
B．different environments
C．chemical reaction
D．different temperatures．

13．The time may soon come when we say goodbye to most of the world's languages．Today humans express themselves in over 6，000different languages．But that is quickly changing．Many scientists say that over half of these languages will disappear within the next 50years．After 100years，the languages used in the world will not be more than 20．
Why？It is because people from different cultures live and work together much more often than before．This brings changes．The languages of the world's main culture are replacing the languages of the smaller cultures．Most international trade takes place in world languages such as English．People respect their own cultures and traditions，but when it comes to geting a job，knowing a world language is often necessary．It may mean the difference between success and failure．
Technology works on the change of languages in an even more amazing way．Modern media such as radio and television give young people in developing countries much knowledge about the world．But this knowledge doesn't come in words from the mouths of their parents or the elders in their neighborhood．It usually comes in the language of a different culture．
People in different cultures think it good for them to share a popular language．They can quickly share ideas and work together．Knowing the same language means easier communication and is a basis for trust．
Is the death of a small local language such a terrible thing？The answer is maybe．Many cultures may have words for many useful things we know nothing about．If their languages die，their valuable wisdom may be lost forever．The future of the world's language depends on our actions now．Will we protect endangered languages or allow them to quietly disappear？
Time will have the last word．

49．Scientists say that within 50years，perhaps，there will be onlyD languages in the world．
A．no more than 20

A．people would find working together was difficult．
B．knowledge would come from the mouths of the elders
C．many of the words for things we do not know would be lost

12．How hard we have all prayed（祈祷） to grow up quickly，and looked forward to the happy days of being a grown-up and enjoying the many interests that a youth should have．?
At last，you have grown up．At least you are no longer a child．They call you"young lady"．You then enjoy the pleasure of being a young lady．You are proud of being a grown-up teenager．People welcome you-this young lady-heartily．You are glad that your prayer has been answered．
But there is always something that troubles you a lot．You say；"Papa and Mama，give me some money please．My pocket money is all gone already．"?
"No"，they say，"your age is a dangerous age．If you have too much money to spend，it won't do you any good．"Then you have to stay at home because you dare not go out with an empty pocket．
Another time you tell your grandma，"Grandma，see，I am a grown-up now．"?
"Good，now，you can sit here and knit （编织） this for me while I go and have a rest．"To show that you are no more a child，you have to sit there the whole afternoon doing the work，which only a grown-up can do．After an hour，you find it hard to do，and give the knitting basket back to your grandma．Your grandma criticizes your work．You hear what she says，"Such a big girl can't do such easy work．"You wish then you were a child again．?
But the fact is，you are growing up，and you can't help it．That's the way it goes!

11．Do you often lose things？Don't worry．Now a new tool that can be connected to any object you might lose may be the way to solve your problem．The Tile，a small square linked up to your iphone or ipad by means of Bluetooth，lets you see how close you are to your missing item，within a 50-to-150-foot range．If the item goes out of your phone's 150-foot range，itcan still be found on other smart phones with the same app．
When you drive the app on your phone，it shows you，with green bars that increase or decrease，how close or far away you are from the Tile．You can also program it to make a sound when you get close to the Tile．And you can link up your phone with up to ten Tiles．And if your lost object-a dog，for example，or a stolen bike-go out of your own phone's 150-foot Bluetooth range，you can set it as a"lost item"．If any of the phones with the Tile app comes within range of your lost item，a message will be sent to your phone，telling you its position．The Tile app also has the function to remember wher it last saw your Tile，so that you can easily find where you left it．
Since the Tiles use Bluetooth rather than GPS，they are never out of battery or needn't to be charged，and the work for one year before needing to be replaced．And the app works with all generations of iPhones and iPads．

9．Hong Kong businesses hit by nearly two months of illegal street occupations breathed a collective sigh of relief on Wednesday．Police finally cleared illegal protesters camped at the main intersection in the Mong Kok district，arresting two student leaders．
More than 7，000officers backed bailiffs （执达官，法警）clearing occupied sections of Argyle Street and Nathan Road．The two-day operation saw 148people arrested for various offenses，including contempt （藐视） of court，resisting arrest，possession of offensive weapons，unlawful gathering and attacking police．
The Chief Leader Stephen Hui said 22officers were injured during the clearances．
Police used pepper spray and batons （警棍）to keep protesters from reclaiming cleared roads and from spreading the illegal occupation to neighboring streets．
Six-lane Nathan Road，which goes through the heart of Kowloon，was cleared after nearly five hours．However，comments on the Internet said protesters were looking to reoccupy roads later in the evening．
This week's actions mark the first time the authorities have successfully cleared one of the three main protest sites，which sprang up after demonstrators seized key intersections in late September to press for unconstitutional reforms．
Contractor Kwan Sui-sum，55，said he wished the Nathan Road clearance had come earlier，as he has had to pay HK20，000（2，580）after the protesters delayed building reconstruction work．The owner of the Chung Hing Duty Free drug store was cautiously optimistic and eager for his store at the corner of the cleared intersection to get back to business．Sales dropped by 40percent during the occupation，he said．
"I'm not worried about the guess that the protesters will return．I trust in Hong Kong's rule of law and in the police，"the man said，who wished to remain unknown as he fears attack from protesters．
But five stores at a cleared site owned by jewelry chain Chow Tai Fook were still closed hours later．A company spokesman said the outlets will remain shut while it continues to monitor the situation．

8．Kendall Ciesemier is the founder of charity Kids Caring 4Kids，an organization she created after seeing a show on the difficult situation of AIDS orphans （孤儿） in Africa．Ciesemier was inspired to try to change the lives of those affected by AIDS and to encourage other children to do the same．She tells us of the power her personal story has in showing others they too can make a difference．
You saw Oprah's show on AIDS orphans when you were 11-do you remember how you felt？
When I saw the show I was shocked．I had never heard of AIDS before and was concerned that kids were growing up without parents and no one had troubled to ask for my help．
I wanted to create a place for kids to get involved and a place where their small contributions would be valued and celebrated．I also felt that I needed to take immediate action myself．I found an orphan sponsorship （赞助） program online and an eight-year-old girl from Mauritania who needed my help．I started there and Kids Caring 4Kids grew from that experience．
How has your own illness inspired you to help others？
Growing up with a rare liver （肝脏） disease made me feel different，which I think attracted me to others who were different and those struggling with something．I knew how I felt and I wanted to help reduce that feeling in someone else．I always wanted to support people．Growing up with an illness gave me empathy （移情） for others．
How does your own story inspire others？
My own personal story is evidence that people can give from anywhere．I started Kids Caring 4Kids from a hospital room．I started by helping one person and it snowballed from there．When I share my story，I think that's what affects people the most-the fact that I started all of this during a time of personal struggle and weakness．If I could do that，then they can do something too．

21．According to the text，Kendall Ciesemier．C
A．hosted a show on the situation in Africa

In my view，the Internet is helpful．It is known to all，the Internet is playing a important part in our daily life．On the Internet，we can read news home and abroad and got as much information as we can．We can also attend to the net school and read many books．We can even do shopping online．Beside，our ability to operate the computer can be improved great．
So we should not be addicted to the Internet，or we'll get our life and study destroying．In addition，we should keep off the harmful website．Anyhow，this doesn't prevent the Internet from becoming our friend．
