15、At present, more and more people are crazy about traveling. Why do people travel? “The world is so big that I want to have a look.” many people would say. But traveling abroad now means much more than that for the growing number of Chinese tourists. Of course it offers us good opportunities to meet people from other countries, learn about their culture and customs.
According to the United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO), more than 1 billion people traveled to another
country in 2012. In 2012, Chinese people traveled abroad 30 percent more than in 2011. In 2014, the number of outbound tourists has reached over 50 million for the first time. Compared with 2013, it has increased by 14.44%. Chinese has ranked first as the main source of the world tourism according to the report. The prosperity (繁荣) of the tourism industry can also bring both our country and foreign countries great economic benefits（经济利益）. Chinese people usually travel abroad in large tourist groups and visit several countries in one trip.
Chinese people don’t just travel for sightseeing. The China International Travel Service Company said that all their tour trips sold out a month before Christmas Day. Stores offered discounts (打折) during that time, so shopping in Europe and the United States is popular among Chinese travelers.
In December, China is going through a very cold winter. So many people like to go to some countries in Southeast Asia because the weather there is quite pleasant.
The improvement of living stand ards means more Chinese can travel abroad. But many of them don’t have a sense of public manners. A report by Living Social website in March 2012 even listed Chinese as the world’s second worst tourists.
If you want to change that bad name, remember to avoid the following: littering, spitting, snatching bus seats,
line-jumping, taking off shoes in public, talking loudly and smoking in non-smoking areas. Besides, we should learn some necessary manners of foreign countries.
1．Which of the followings is not the reason why Chinese people travel abroad?
A．To have a look at the world B．To bring foreign countries great economic benefits
C．To shop abroad D．To learn about foreign culture and customs

A．In small groups and visit one country in one trip
B．In large groups and visit several countries in one trip
C．In small groups and visit several countries in one trip
D．In large groups and visit one country in one trip
3．According to the United Nations World Tourism Organization, ________.
A．30% of the people who traveled abroad are Chinese
B．the number of people who traveled abroad rose by 30%
C．more than 1 billion people traveled abroad in 2012
D．more than 1 billion Chinese people traveled abroad in 2012

16、London used to be “foggy”--- the “fog” was in fact smog, a mixtureof smoke and fog. In other words, it was caused by air pollution. In London, some of this pollution came from factories, but a lot of it came from the coal that people burnt in their houses to keep warm during the winter. By the 1950s, London’s smog problem had become so bad that the government decided to do something to clean up the air. It didn’t allow people to born coal in any British city. A few years later, the air became much cleaner.
Today many Chinese cities face the same problem with air pollution that London faced sixty years ago. However, this problem is more difficult for Chinese cities to solve. One reason is that more of pollution comes from big factories, rather than from the co al burnt in people’s houses. If these factories were suddenly closed, it would harm the economy and lots of people would lose their jobs. Another reason is that changing from coal to cleaner fuels is quite expensive. However, the air in many cities will become cleaner, as the government and ordinary people pay more and more attention to protecting the environment.
1．（小题1）Where was the pollution from in London over sixty years ago?
A．The pollution came from factories.
B．The pollution was from coal that people burnt in their houses.
C．The pollution was from too much traffic on the roads.
D．The pollution was from factories and coal that people burnt in their houses.

A．In most of Chinese cities there is smog.
B．The reasons of smog in China.

18、Memory is essential(重要) for life. We have a short-term memory and a long-term memory. When we get old, our short-term memory becomes weaker, but we can still remember things that happened a long time ago. There are many things we can do to improve our memory, such as using various memorizing methods as well as taking special care of our health.
It is important that we regularly stimulate(刺激) our brain to make our memory more efficient(有效). For example, we can do activities that we do not usually do and change our daily habits. Learning a new skill helps our brain develop. When trying to memorize something, we should focus our attention on the most important things about it. Do not allow other thoughts to enter our mind because this will lower our chances of remembering things correctly.
One basic way of improving our memory is to use the link method. If we want to memorize something, we should make a picture in our mind. If the picture is silly, strange and colourful, we will remember it better.
Taking notes, being organized and keeping a diary will also be useful tools.
Sometimes, memory is connected with our feelings. When something dramatic happens, we usually remember it well, and we also remember where we were and what we were doing.
Healthy food and plenty of vitamins are important to our memory. Drinking a lot of water also helps maintain our memory.
When we are asleep, our brain stores memory. Not enough sleep can, therefore, cause problems with storing information. In addition, being tired will stop us from being able to remember well. As a result, keeping fit and having regular health checks are both important as well.
1．How does people’s memory change when they get older?
A．The short-term memory becomes stronger.
B．The short-term memory becomes weaker.
C．The long-term memory becomes stronger.
D．The long-term memory becomes weaker.
2．According to the passage, which of the following CANNOT be remembered better in a short time?
A．A strange insect.
B．A colourful letter.
C．A dramatic event.
D．A boring talk.
3．When people try to remember the word ‘smiles’, an easy way to do this is to imagine there is a ‘mile’ between the firs t letter and the last letter. This is because they .
A．use the link method
B．connect it with feelings
C．have a good rest
D．take some notes
4．What SHOULD people do when they try to make their memory more efficient?
A．Always do the same things and never change their daily habits.
B．Memorize something while listening to music or watching TV.
C．Keep other ideas out of their mind when focusing attention.
D．Sleep at most 6 hours a day and drink a lot of coffee or tea.
