Travel and Life

[1]Millions of people all over the world spend their holidays travelling.They travel to see other countries and continents, modern cities and the ruins of ancient towns; they travel to enjoy picturesque(独特的)places, or just for a change of scene.It’s always interesting to discover new things, different ways of life, to meet different people, to try different food and to listen to different musical rhythms(节奏).

[2] Those who live in the country like to go to a big city and spend their time visiting museums and art galleries, looking at shopwindows and dining at exotic(异国情调的)restaurants.City-dwellers usually like a quiet holiday by the sea or in the mountains, with nothing to do but walk, bathe and laze in the sun.

[3] Most travellers and holiday-makers take cameras with them and take pictures of everything that interests them-the sights of a city, old churches and castles, the views of mountains, lakes, valleys, plains, waterfalls, forests, different kinds of trees, flowers and plants, animals and birds.Later, perhaps years later, they will be reminded by the photos of the happy time they have had.

[4] People travel by train, by plane, by boat and by car.All means of travel have their advantages and disadvantages.And people choose one according to their plans and destinations.

[5] If we are fond of travelling, we see and learn a lot of things that we can never see or learn at home, though we may read about them in books and newspapers, and see the pictures of them on TV.The best way to study geography is to travel, and the best way to get to know and understand people is to meet them in their own homes.

阅读下面短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A,B,C,D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Joyce Yuan and her host family
As I began to feel completely sick of the cold North American winter, spring break finally arrived! What made me even more excited was that we were going to Florida to enjoy the warm weather!
Just imagine wearing short sleeves or a swimsuit under the hot Florida sun!
Before the vocation started, we had a little episode at the airport. The alarm sounded when my host mom and I were walking through the security check. We were taken away to have further checks, but when they finally told us that we could go, we felt easy and amused. It was just because of the decorations on my pants and the tinfoil(锡纸) around my host mom’ chewing gum! -Just as a reminder, no overly fashionable pants or tinfoil on a plane!
Of course, I had a lot of first experiences during this special vacation. Since eight of us were living in a house, we had to share a room with my 4-year-old host sister. She is tiny compared to me, but she took up about two thirds of the bed. Moreover, because I was not used to sleeping in the same room with others, I was afraid of waking up and hardly slept at all.
Luckily, except for all that, everything went really well. My host family were really warm-hearted, and they wanted me to try everything new. With their “persuasion”, I was “forced” to go boating, which turned out to be really fun. We went through some canals and I saw manatees(海牛) and dolphins with my own eyes for the very first time!
When we finally landed in Wisconsin again, everyone looked brown and full of energy! 
56. According to the passage, the reason why we were taken away to have further checks was that___________.
A. my pants and my host mom’s chewing gum
B. we carried some things that are not permitted
C. they considered us to be thieves
D. we had not passports with us
57.During the travel, the author experienced the following things for the first time EXCEPT_________.
A. sharing a room with a 4-year-old girl               B. going boating
C. seeing manatees and dolphins with her own eyes      D. taking a plane 
58.According to the passage, how many people went to Florida for traveling with the author together?
A. Seven                B. Eight           C. We don’t know it    D. Nine
59. From the passage, we can infer that the author felt the vacation was_____.
A. frightening            B. amazing         C. memorable             D. challenging

Thomson 中学学生Mike,Joseph,Anna, Ian 和Susan 正在计划下学期各自的选修课课程。阅读1至5题中的各人情况说明和A至F六门选修课的介绍,选出符合个性特长的最佳选项。选项中有一项是多余选项。

1. Mike spent his childhood mostly in his father’s study, where he read novels by British and American writers. Next term he will become a senior student. He thinks it’s time that he read more of their works and learned to write about them.

2.Joseph is good at the language arts, and in his spare time he likes to write short stories. It is his wish that his stories would be printed in local newspapers. So he is thinking of taking a course to develop his writing skills, such as wording and paragraph organization.

3.A lively and caring girl, Anna takes an active part in social activities. She is trying to write reports for newspapers about what she sees and hears. But few of them are accepted because of poor organization of information. She feels the need to improve her writing and communication skills next term.

4. Susan comes from China. As a junior back home, she wrote quite a lot of short stories, some of which were published in newspapers. Her parents suggest she read some classics by Asian and Western writers. She thinks it helpful in her writing. So she is going to take a course of this kind next term.

We are guided by Ezra Pound’s opinion: “Make it new.” Creative writing does not only provide us with an opportunity to express ourselves, but also holds our attention to word choice, paragraph development, and other skills useful in writing.

American &. British Classics

—by Dr E. Waiter

A classic is a literary work that has stood the test of time. Generations of readers have turned to classics to discover that which is everlasting. Through both the works themselves and the people they mirror, we may better be able to see ourselves. In this course, we will read works in both British and American literature. We will write reviews of what we read.

World Literature

—by Mrs A. MeClellan

World Literature examines the common people found in quality literature worldwide, from Europe to America, from Asia to Africa, and introduces a variety of cultural background at different points in history. In these worlds, we find not only what is unique to each culture, but what is universal. We are also able to tell what makes for a good story, no matter from where or whom the story springs.
