(Matt is going on holidays to Brazil. Read this page from his guide book.) Brazil is a beautiful country and you will have a wonderful holiday. Make sure you follow this advice.
Safety
If you lose your passport(护照), your holiday will be ruined, so be careful with it. It is a good idea to buy a money belt. This is a special belt with pockets that you wear under your clothes. It is useful for keeping your money and passport safe.
I t is easy to get lost in Brazil’s big cities so make sure that you always carry your hotel’s address with you.
Health
It is very important to check what vaccinations(疫苗) you need to have before you travel to any country. Your doctor can tell you which ones you need to have for Brazil.
Insects can be a problem in Brazil. Some of the insects bite, so you should take
insect repellant(驱虫剂) with you. You should also take some medicine with you. If you have a headache or a stomachache, you might find it difficult to buy the right medicine.
Language
Portuguese(葡萄牙语)is Brazil’s national language so a Portuguese guidebook would be useful. It will help you communicate with local people and it will also help you discover local food. Good guidebooks have many parts for directions, food, shopping and health problems.
What to take
Brazil is a warm country so you will need T-shirts, shorts and sunglasses, but if you want to visit different parts of the country, you will need a coat and strong shoes. The country has many mountains, so it can be much cooler in these places. Money
Brazil’s money is called the Real. You can use a credit card（信用卡） in most shops and restaurants but you should also make sure you have enough money so you can buy things in markets.
64. Why is a money belt useful in Brazil?
A. Because it has some pockets in the belt.

If you have been joining in chat room conversations, or trading email with web pals(网友), you have become one of the millions who write in a peculiarly short form of English.
And you’ve got a sense of humor about short forms like SOHF(=sense o f humor failure)to describe internet newcomers who don’t understand you.
Across the globe, every night teenagers and their elders are “talking” online, many of them all talking at the same time.
It is fast: try talking to six people at once. It is brief: three or four words per exchange. It takes wit, concentration, and quick fingers.
And it requires tremendous linguistic economy(语言省略). There is neither time nor space for explanation. Why consume precious key-stoke (键盘敲击) telling six friends you have to leave for a moment to take care of your little brother when BRB(=be right back) will do?
Want to enter a conversation? Just type PMFJI (=pardon me for jumping in).
Interested in whom you are talking to? Type A/S/L, the nearly universal req uest to know you pal’s age, sex and location. You may get 15/M/NY as a response from your pal.
If something makes you laugh, say you are OTF (=on the floor), or LOL(=laughing out loud), or combing the two into ROTFL (=rolling on the floor laughing).
And when it is time to get back to work or go to bed, you type GTG(=got to go)or TTYL(talk to you later).
People want to write as fast as possible, and they want to get their ideas across as quickly as they can. Capital letters are left in the dust, except when expressing emotion, as it takes, more time to hold down the “shift” key and capitals. Punctuation (标点)is going, too.
68. Many people talk on the Internet _____.
A. by sending short emails
B. by using a particular short form of English
C. by using peculiar English words and expression
D. in a funny way
69. In order to talk to several people at the same time on the Internet_________.
A. you have to speak fast and fluently
B. you should speak with wit and humor
C. you have to express your ideas in a brief way
D. one should pay much attention to the accuracy of words
70. If you get 17/F/NY as an answer to your A/S/L, it means_________.
A. the people on the other end is 17 from New York and he is fine
B. you are talking to a girl who is 17 and lives in New York
C. you are talking to 17 girls who are from New York
D. the people you are talking to is a 17-foot tall New York girl
71. To save time on the Internet .
A. some people leave their letters in the dustbin
B. some people never use “shift” in their writing
C. many people leave the capital and punctuation
D. people seldom use capital letters or punctuation
E
Although many Chinese students say that their knowledge of English grammar is good, most would admit that their spoken English is poor. Whenever I speak to a Chinese student they always say, “My spoken English is poor.” However, their spoken English does not have to remain “poor”! I would like to suggest that there may be some reasons for their problems with spoken English.
First, they fail to find suitable words to express themselves due to a limited vocabulary. Obviously the better answer is to expand their vocabulary. However, you can speak with a limited vocabulary, if your attitude is positive. Others will follow you as long as you use the words that you know.
Second, they are afraid of making mistakes. Sometimes they make mistakes when they are speaking because they are shy and nervous. Yet students should remember that their goal should be FLUENCY NOT ACCURACY（准确性）. Your aim in writing is to be accurate following the rules for grammar and using the right words and spelling them correctly. However, in speaking your aim is fluency. You want to get your message across ,to talk to someone in English ,as quickly and as well as you can ,even though sometimes you may use a wrong word or tense ,but it doesn’t matter because the person you are speaking to will understand you and make allowances for any mistakes he hears.
The third reason is that not enough attention is paid to listening. You have one mouth but two ears! All that hearing was necessary for you to start speaking.
Forth, most Chinese students are reactive rather than proactive language learners. Instead of actively seeking out opportunities to improve their spoken English they passively wait for speaking opportunities to come to them and wonder why their English always remains poor. If you have this proactive outlook, then you will see English opportunities wherever you go.
If you do not use your English beyond the classroom you will forget what English you know. Remember: USE IT OR LOSE IT! You can learn how to speak English better by speaking English more.
72．What is most probably the writer’s purpose in writing the passage?
A．To improve your reading. B．To improve your listening.
C．To improve your spoken English.
D．To improve your vocabulary.
73．It can be inferred from the third paragraph that .
A．don’t be fluency . Just be accuracy
B．don’t be nervous ,don’t be shy . Ju st write!
C．don’t be afraid of making mistakes . Just speak!
D．don’t be shy ,don’t be fluency. Just listen and write!
74．The last paragraph is possibly close to the meaning of “”.
A．more hurry, less speed B. better late than never
C．silence is gold D. practice makes perfect
75．The text is most probably taken from a .
A．teacher’s diary B．report on study
C．sports newspaper D．movie magazine
第Ⅱ卷
第四部分写作（共两节，满分30）
第一节任务型读写（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）
阅读下列短文，根据所读内容在文章后的表格空格中填入恰当的词。

注意：表格中的每个空格只填1个单词。

People traveling long distances often have to decide whether they would go by land, sea or air. Hardly can anyone really enjoy sitting in a train for more than a few hours. The trains are always crowded. Reading is only a partial solution. You can't sleep well on the trains. As a result, when you arrive at your destination, you're almost worn out. Long car journeys are even less pleasant, for it's nearly impossible to read. The most part of the journey is spent on narrow, bumpy roads which are crowded with traffic.
Trips by sea offer a lot of comfort. You can play games, swim, meet interesting people and enjoy good food. However, if the sea is rough, you're likely to get seasick. Even if you travel in fine weather, the journeys take a long time.
Flying on planes is dangerous and expensive. But it's fast and comfortable. Traveling at a height of 30,000 feet, far above the clouds, and at over 500 miles per hour is really an unimaginable experience. For a few hours, you can enjoy the beautiful view when you are over high mountains and deep valleys. The journey is so smooth and nothing can stop you from reading and sleeping. You will not have to spend the next few days recovering from a long and tiring journey.
