Every year New Zealanders living in London can be seen loading up Kombi vans and heading o

ff to experience the "classic European holiday", The trip usually starts in the north of France, after crossing the channel from Dover in England to Calais, driving down through France, over the Pyrenees into Spain, west into Portugal and then across the Continent to Italy and often beyond.

There are numerous reasons young New Zealanders take this rite of passage—as well as seeing all the fantastic sights and tasting the delights of Europe's food and wine, it's relatively inexpensive. The Kombi is transport and accommodation all in one, cutting down significantly on costs.

There is just one problem. As the Kombis become "antique", these trips are usually punctuated with numerous roadside sessions as the van sits idle, in no hurry to start, while you swelter in the hot sun. But do not let this deter you. Travelling Europe in your own vehicle means no public transport schedules to cramp your style, the ability to explore the quaint, off-the-beaten-track villages where the "real" locals live, freedom to not have to book accommodation in advance—you can nearly always get a campsite and can toad your vehicle with cheap, fantastic regional wines and souvenirs. With these bonuses in mind, here are some suggestions for planning the great Europe road adventure. The key to a pleasurable driving experience is a good navigator and a driver with a cool head. If you do not feel relaxed driving around New Zealand's cities and highways, then you probably will not enjoy driving around Europe. As co pilot to the driver, you need to read (and understand) maps, look out for turn-offs—and keep the music playing. Language is not a big problem once a few essential terms are mastered. The biggest challenge is in the cities, where traffic can be chaotic and elaborate one-way systems and narrow, cobbled alleyways can make finding your destination hard work. It can be easier to leave the vehicle on the outskirts of town or in a camping ground and use public transport. This also avoids paying for costly parking.

According to the passage, the trip usually starts in ______.

A．France

B．England

C．Spain

D．Italy

Passage Four

Every culture and every country in the world celebrates New Year, but not everyone does it the same way. The countries in North America and Europe welcome New Year on January the first. This practice began with the Romans in the Middle East, New Year is when spring begins. People in China and Vietnam celebrate it on the first day of the Spring Festival, which is the first day of their calendar based on the moon. Rosh Hashana, which is the Jewish (犹太人的) New Year, comes at the end of summer. The Hindus (印度教教徒 ) in India celebrate the first day of each season, so they have four New Years.

In all these cultures, there is a practice of making noise. People made noise in ancient times to drive away the evil spirits (妖精) from their homes. Today making noise is more of a custom than a religious rim

In the United States, many people stay up until midnight on New Year's Eve to watch the clock pass from one year to the next. Friends often gather together at a party on New Year's Eve, and when the new year comes, all ring bells, blow' whistles, sing songs, and kiss each other. A favorite Scottish song which everyone sings together is Auld Lang Sync. The words tell of old friends and good times.

In all cultures, New Year's Day is a time when people think of new beginnings. They want to make the coming year better than the last one. Many people in the United States make New Year resolutions. These are specific promises that they make to improve their behavior, change their habits, and become better people. There are many jokes about how a person keeps his or her New Year resolutions.

48. In ancient times, the practice of making noise was meant ______.

A. to keep the evil spirits away

B. to have fun

C. to celebrate the coming of the new year

D. to keep to a custom

The first year of school in America, known as kindergarten（幼儿园), usually begins between the ages of five and six. Among rich countries such a late start is very strange. President Obama

The first year of school in America, known as kindergarten(幼儿园), usually begins between the ages of five and six. Among rich countries such a late start is very strange. President Obama believes it is an economic and social problem; his education secretary goes as far as to say that it is “morally wrong”. This statement has some support,as it is clear from research into vocabulary that youngsters from poor families enter kindergarten well behind those from rich families a disadvantage that usually lasts a lifetime. Children from households on welfare knew 525 words by the age of three, while the children of professionals had mastered 1,116.

Pre-school can help close this gap. So in a speech last month, Mr. Obama called for a partnership between the federal government and the state, to expand it to every American child. It later became known that “every” meant those who come from families with incomes of up to 200% above the poverty line-equal to an income of $47,000 for a family of four.

Some critics(评论家)say that sending children to school at the age of four does not work. The evidence suggests otherwise. For example, on March 20th new results were announced from a study of 9 to 11 year olds in New Jersey. This report found that disadvantaged children who had attended preschool had better literacy(读写能力), language, math and science skills. And two years of prekindergarten were better than one.

Some studies also follow the effects of early learning over lifetimes, such as its effect on crime rates and other factors that may eventually burden society. Critics have singled out a government scheme called Head Start, created in 1965, which provides poor households with a range of services including school-based early education.

21. The kindergarten in other rich countries usually begins()than in America.

A. earlier

B. later

C. slower

22. Which is TRUE about the vocabulary size of the two groups of kids？

A. Poor preschool kids have a larger vocabulary than rich ones.

B. Rich preschool kids have a larger vocabulary than poor ones.

C. There is no obvious difference between the two groups of kids.

23. Which of the following about the New Jersey study is TRUE？

A. There is no evidence to support the New Jersey study.

B. Two years of prekindergarten were better than one.

C. Sending children to school at the age of four is not going to help.

24. The phrase “single out” in the last paragraph means().

A. count

B. think about

C. choose

25. Which of the following is an appropriate title for this passage？

A. Secondary Education.

B. Preschool Education.

C. Poor Kids' Education.

Every year just after Christmas the January Sales start. All the shops reduce their prices
and for two weeks, they are full of people looking for bargains. My husband and I do not normally go to the sales as we don't like crowds and in any case we are short of money as we have to buy lots of Christmas presents.

Last year, however, I took my husband with me to the sales at the large shop in the center of London. We both needed some new clothes and were hoping to find a television set. When we got to Oxford Street, it was so crowded that we decided to split up and meet again at the underground station. So I left my husband and started looking around the shops. Unfortunately all the clothes were in very large sizes and so they were not suitable for me. But I did buy a television at a very cheap price, so I felt quite pleased with myself.

When I arrived at the station, my husband was not there. So I sat down in a nearby cafe to have a cup of tea. I quickly finished my tea when I saw my husband and went out to meet him. He looked very happy. Then I saw he was carrying a large and heavy cardboard box. "Oh, dear!" I thought. Yes, we had no new clothes but two televisions. We shall not be going to the sales again.

In January

A．lots of people go shopping for discount

B．people have a lot of money to spend after Christmas

C．all the shops close for a two-week Christmas holiday

D．people don't have enough money to go looking for bargains

阅读题：A growing world population and the discoveries of science may alter this pattern of distribution in the future

Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.

A growing world population and the discoveries of science may alter this pattern of distribution in the future. As men slowly learn to master diseases, control floods, prevent famines, and stop wars, fewer people die every year; and in consequence the population of the world is steadily increasing. In 1925 there were about 2,000 million people in the world; by the end of the century there may well be over 4,000 million.

When numbers rise the extra mouths must be fed. New lands must be brought under cultivation, or land already farmed made to yield larger crops. In some areas the accessible land is so intensively cultivated that it will be difficult to make it provide more food. In some areas the population is so dense that the land is parceled out in units too tiny to allow for much improvement in farming methods. Were a large part of this farming population drawn off into industrial occupations, the land might be farmed much more productively by modern methods.

There is now a race for science, technology, and industry to keep the output of food rising faster than the number of people to be fed. New strains of crops are being developed which will thrive in unfavorable climates: there are now farms beyond the Arctic Circle in Siberia and North America; irrigation and dry-farming methods bring arid lands under the plough, dams hold back the waters of great rivers to ensure water for the fields in all seasons and to provide electric power for new industries; industrial chemistry provides fertilizers to suit particular soils; aeroplanes spray crops to destroy locusts and many plant diseases. Every year some new means is devised to increase or to protect the food of the world.

31. The author says that the world population is growing because _____.

A) there are many rich valleys and fertile plains

B) the pattern of distribution is being altered

C) people are living longer

D) new land is being brought under cultivation

32. The author says that in densely populated areas the land might be more productively farmed if _____.

A) the plots were subdivided

B) a large part of the people moved to a different part of the country

C) industrial methods were used in farming

D) the units of land were made much larger

33. We are told that there are now farms beyond the Arctic Circle. This has been made possible by _____.

A) producing new strains of crops

B) irrigation and dry-farming methods

C) providing fertilizers

D) destroying pests and disease

34. Which of these words is nearest in meaning to the word "strains"？

A) types B) sizes

C) seeds D) harvests

35. The author's main purpose is to _____.

A) argue for a belief B) describe a phenomenon

C) entertain D) propose a conclusion

判断正误：Reporting sales figures

After a slow start at the beginning of the year when sales started out at $ 9 million and rose to $ 10 million for the month of January, there was a slight increase in February when sales went up to $ 14. 5m. Then in March we had a dramatic increase when sates shot up to a staggering $ 34m. This was after the big Trade Fair in Hong Kong, where we managed to promote our new products and capturé the SE Asin market: The-increase continued in April when sales peaked at $ 38. 5m. There was slight fall for the month of May, which was only to be expected after the rush of interest after Hong Kong, and figures hit the $ 30m. mark. They seem to stabilise there, as the June figures were much the same at $ 31. 4m. We have every to expect them to continue at this rate for the next few munths, but our target for the end of the year is to chase the $ 40m+ mark with a very aggressive marketing policy over the summer and the autumn.

16. The product under discussion is not stated.

17. The year started with a rush.

18. January saw a decline in sales.

19. In February sales declined slightly.

20. In March sales reached $34m.

21. The Hong Kong Trade Fair made little effect on sales.

22. In May the sales figures exceeded those of March.

23. The June figures were similar to the May figures.

24. If the business reaches $ 40 +, the target for the end of the year will have been reached.

25. There would be more ups than down in a chart of the January to June' figures.
