Nowadays there are more and more ways of going on holiday. More and more people go abroad every year. Some people even go on two or three holidays a year. There are two ‘types of holidaymakers. The first kind always flocks to seaside resorts when they go on holidays. Their one and only aim is to have a good time by sunbathing and putting their feet up. They are not a bit interested in local
specialties. At mealtimes, if they can get a plate of British “fish and chip” they are more than happy. They spend their days in the sunshine and their evening getting drunk, then sleep soundly, If this sort of person forgets to pack the suntan oil, he or she undoubtedly come home as red as a lobster(龙虾). The other type of holidaymakers goes to every country to increase their knowledge of foreign lands. They make use of the chance to travel to improve their world knowledge. For them, going on holidays is educational. Consequently, this sort of travelers will move from place to place every few days. If they visit lots of places in a short span of time, there is no way that they can get a proper feeling of a place or fully appreciate the local food and wine. Whichever type of holiday chosen, everybody has the same aim: to put their work to the back of their minds, have as much fun as possible and come home happy and relaxed.
31．The aim of the first type of holidaymaker is .

A．he will have a better knowledge of other countries
B．he will eat more various foods
C．he will not have a good rest

正确答案：D
解析：根据题干关键词too many places in a short time定位到文章第三段第五句If they visit lots of places in a short span of time，there is no way that they can get a proper feeling of a place or fully appreciate the local food and wine.(如果他们在很短的时间内游览太多地方的话，他们就不可能对—个地方有真正的了解，也无法充分享受当地的饮食和美酒。

)由此，我们可以得出答案为D
34．The common aim of these two kinds of holidaymakers is .

35．The best title for this passage is .

正确答案：C

Task 2Directions: This task is the same as Task 1. The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 through 45.
There was a time in early history of man when the days bad no names! The reason was quite simple: Men had not invented the week. In those days, the only division of times was the month, and there were too many days in the month for each of them to have a separate name. But when men began to build cities, they wanted to have a special day on which to trade, a market day. Sometimes these market day were fixed at every tenth day, sometimes every seventh or every fifth day. The Babylonians decided that it should be every seventh day. On this day they didn’t work, but met for trade and religious festivals. The Jews followed their example, and kept every seventh day for religious purposes. In this way the week came into being. The Jews gave each of the seven days a name, but it was really a number after the Sabbath(安息日) day (which Was Saturday). When the Egyptians adopted the seven - day week, they named the days after five planets, the sun and the moon. The Romans used the
Egyptian names for their days of the week: the day of the sun, of the moon, of the planet Mars, of Mercury (水星), of Venus (木星), and of Saturn (土星). We get our names for the days not from the Romans but from the Anglo - Saxons, who called most of the days after their own gods.
36．In the early days there were no names for the days, because men ______.
A．had not yet created the idea of grouping seven days in a week
B．did not know what the word “week” meant
C．considered it unnecessary to have the names
D．did not believe it was the time to invent the week
正确答案：A
解析：由第一段的文意决定，
37．In those days ______.
A．the smallest unit of time was the month
B．the smallest unit of time was the week
C．the year had been believed to be the only division of times
D．the months had no names either
正确答案：A
解析：根据第二段的首句可知，古代时间划分的惟一单位是月份，故排除其它三个选项。

38．The week came into being when the Jews devoted ______ to God.
A．every tenth day
B．every seventh day
C．every fifth day
D．either A or E
正确答案：B
解析：第三段告诉我们，犹太人根据巴比伦人的决定，进而确立把每个第七天作为宗教日。

39．Who began to call the days in a week after five planets, the sun and the moon?
A．The Egyptians.
B．The Romans.
C．The Babylonians.
D．The Anglo - Saxons.
正确答案：A
解析：根据第四段的首句判断。

注意选项B)有迷惑性，但阅读后文便知，B)项所述的罗马人是在埃及人的基础上进一步点出五个行星的名字，这与题目有出入，故不能作为答案。

40．Our present names for the days of the week are ______.
A．quite similar to the Romans’
B．mostly named after the gods of the Anglo - Saxons
C．more or less the same as those the Egyptians are using
D．but numbers
正确答案：B

It has multiple outlets in Beijing. The old restaurant first opened in 1860. The duck here is said to be the best in Beijing, and the service is very good as well. Before you take up the menu, you might want to know more about how Beijing Roasted Duck is made and how it is served. The ducks are raised for the sole purpose of making the food. Force-fed, they are kept in cages which restrain them from moving about, so as to fatten them up and make the meat comparably tender. Beijing Roasted Duck is processed in several steps: first the ducks are rubbed with spices, salt and sugar, and then kept hung in the air for some time. Then the ducks are roasted in an oven, or hung over the fire till they become brown with rich grease perspiring outside and have a nice color. Beijing Duck is always served in well-cut slices. The whole duck must be sliced into 120 pieces and every piece has to be perfect with the complete layers of the meat. Normally there are many dishes served with the duck, including a dish of fine-cut shallot bars, a dish of cucumber bars and finally a dish of paste-like soy of fermented wheat flour. Without these the dainty duck is surely in the shade. Beijing Roasted Duck You can go to the restaurant【46】to enjoy the famous duck.

正确答案：Dear Frank, I am terribly sorry to tell you that I have lost the valuable book you were so kind to lend me last week. I read it every day and intended to finish it next month. Last night when I came to my room, it was nowhere to be found. I win try to recover it as soon as possible. If I fail to find it, I will get a new
book for you. But I am afraid it can never take the place of the old one. Old books are like old friends. Once lost, they can never be replaced. They are connected with old associations which the new ones can never have. And for this irrecoverable loss, I am to blame. I was so careless with my things, This is a warning to me to be more careful in the future.Yours truly, Mike。
