We travel the world to experience an unfamiliar culture. It’s an added bonus when the destination happens to be home to several cultures, thanks to its diverse population. Toronto Toronto happens to be one of the most diverse in the world. In fact, nearly half of Toronto’s residents were born in another country. This cultural mix is most apparent in the city’s community pockets, including Chinatown, Greektown, Little Italy etc. And although English is most widely spoken here, the streets are constantly filled with over 140 different languages. Los Angeles Los Angeles is known and loved for its varied landscape, which offers opportunities to swim at the beach, hike in the park and explore a lively city all on the same day. That diversity also extends to its population—people from approximately 140 countries, speaking 86 different languages call the City of Angeles home where visitors can get a taste of multicultural mix. Sydney English-speaking visitors to Sydney won’t have any trouble buying their tickets to the Opera House or ordering up some Aussie barbecue, as it’s the main language used here. That said, it’s not the only language you may overhear. Approximately 250 different dialects are spoken in this Australian city. This makes sense, given that 40 percent of the population were born overseas. Singapore Singapore might be small, but it packs in a lot of diversity. The Southeast Asian destination has four official languages—English, Malay, Mandarin and Tamil—and approximately 40 percent of its population were born abroad. 【1】Where can people enjoy fascinating scenery? A.In Singapore. B.In Toronto. C.In Sydney. D.In Los Angeles. 【2】What do these four cities have in common? A.People speak other languages besides English. B.Travelers can kill time on the beach. C.The majority of residents are Chinese. D.More than half of the population were born overseas. 【3】The text is probably helpful for those who are interested in ________. A.language teaching B.reading and writing C.touring and culture D.cooking and swimming |

When I was in my fourth year of teaching, I was also (and am still) a high school track and field coach(田径教练). One year, I had a student, John, who entered my class when he was a junior. John changed to our school from Greece, and seemed to be interested in sports, so I encouraged him to join our track team. I explained to him that even though he had never taken part in it before, I did believe that he could do well in any event, and I would be willing to coach him at whichever ones interested him. He accepted the offer, and began to work hard at every practice. About a month later, I had found out from other sources that John was a first-class tennis player, winning various junior awards in his home country. I went to him asking, “John, I really appreciate that you came out for the track team, but why didn’t you play tennis instead? It seems that would interest you a lot more, since you’re so good at it.” John answered, “Well, I like tennis, but you told me that you believed in me, and that you thought I could do well in track, so I wanted to try it for that reason.” From then on, I often remember my student’s reply. I told it to a friend and she suggested I write it down to share somewhere with more teachers. No matter how critical(不满的) students can be of themselves, I’ve found that a simple “I trust that you can do it!” can go a long way! 【1】According to Paragraph 1, what does the author seem to think more about? A. John’s PE marks B. John’s self-confidence C. John’s interest in sports D. John’s state of health 【2】Why did John take part in the track team? A. He had been an excellent runner. B. He was encouraged by his teacher. C. He liked running more than tennis. D. He had no tennis coach to train him. 【3】What’s the purpose of this passage? A. to build a close teacher-student relationship B. to introduce a new way of sports training C. to explain the value of sports and games D. to show the importance of encouragement 【4】Who is the passage mainly written for? A. teachers B. Parents C. students D. players |

Camping has a long history in Australia. The country has a long history about it, which is a way of life for people in that country. Although that way of life has mostly died out in the modern country, we must take care to remember it. There is a long tradition. When gold was first discovered and people came from around the world to find their fortune, many could not afford to stay in a hotel and nor would there have been enough, so they all brought tents （帐篷）and set them up next to their little goldfield. Many people alive in Australia today are born from those people who spent large parts of their lives intents. And it seems to have stayed with us all the way to modern Australia. In summer, the nation's camping grounds are packed（挤满）with families on holidays. It is a great experience for a kid to lie in a tent where he or she can hear all the sounds of nature. It's a place where they can learn skills like making a fire, cooking and swimming in the water, which they will use for their whole lives. Of course, things have changed a lot from the early days of camping, when you would carry everything you need on your back. Now there are all kinds of equipment to take with you, from solar panels（太阳能板）for your electric razor（电动剃须刀）to an outdoor shower. In fact, many campsites you see around the country are so decorated that you have to wonder why they are bothered to leave the house at all. 【1】What does the underlined word “it” in the first paragraph refer to? A.Australia. B.Tradition. C.Camping. D.Fortune 【2】The second paragraph mainly tells us about . A.the history of camping in Australia B.what the first settlers did in Australia C.the hotel situations in Australia D.Australians’ modern way of life 【3】What do Australians prefer to do when summer comes? A.To go fishing. B.To make tents by themselves. C.To go camping. D.To listen to nature. 【4】We can learn from the passage that . A.solar panels are necessary for camping B.things have changed a lot about camping C.there are lots of goldfields in Australia D.Camping has already died out nowadays |

If you asked me to dance, I’d probably freeze on the spot and some people say I have two left feet! But with some persuasion and Dutch courage I can be tempted to take to the dance floor and shake some moves-and that, apparently, is only natural. Experts have found as well as being fun, dancing might have helped us to survive as a species. Evolutionary anthropologist(人类学家) Bronwyn Tarr from the University of Oxford believes that dancing alone is one thing but it’s dancing as a group that makes our brain reward us with a cocktail of feel-good hormones that change how we feel about ourselves and those around us. This is likely to lead to profound social effects. It’s keeping paces with others that makes us happy. Bronwy Tarr says that “dancing fosters social closeness between people. It helps us build social connections and communities. In our past, those social connections would have been critical for surviving.” Dance is also a good way to keep fit and improve our mental health. In Wales there have been calls for doctors to prescribe dance classes to people who are unwell. The Arts Council of Wales claims there are many health benefits. And Bronwyn Tarr says “more and more we’re actually discovering that your longevity(长寿)-your life expectancy-is predicted by the social connections that you have…still today it’s something we should do more of.” It could be part of being a conservative Englishman that makes me a reluctant dancer. Look at other nationalities such as Cubans where dancing is at the heart of their cultural identity. And in Brazil at Carnival time, people let their hair down by dancing together day and night. They seem to be having a good time-so maybe I should get on my feet and dance! 【1】What does the author imply in the first paragraph? A.He doesn’t like dances. B.He does not dance well. C.He lacks confidence in dance. D.He does everything out of nature. 【2】What can be inferred from Tarr’s words in Paragraph 2? A.Dancing alone doesn’t benefit at all. B.Dancing with others helps people survive. C.It is funny to keep paces with other people. D.It matters most to dance on social occasions. 【3】How does the author feel about dancing in the last paragraph? A.Positive. B.Negative. C.Unclear. D.Objective. 【4】Which is the best title for the text? A.What makes you a real dancer? B.What can dances bring us? C.Why do people love to dance? D.How can we dance well? |
