People travel for a lot of reasons. Some travelers go to see battlefields or religious shrines. Others are looking for culture, or simply want to have their photos taken in front of famous places. But most Europeans are willing to pay a lot of money and put up with a lot of inconveniences for the sun because they have so little of it. Residents of cities like London, Copenhagen, and Amsterdam spend a lot of their winter in the dark because the days are so short and much of the rest of the year is in the rain. Every summer, more than 25 million people travel to Mediterranean（地中海）resorts and beaches for their vacation. They all come for the same reason sun.
The huge crowds mean lots of money for the economies of Mediterranean countries. Italy's 30,000 hotels are booked every summer. And 13 million people camp out on French Beaches, parks, and roadsides. Spain's long sandy coastline attracts more people than anywhere else. 37 million tourists visit yearly, or one tourist for every person living in Spain.
But there are signs that the area is getting more tourism than it can handle. The Mediterranean is already one of the most polluted seas on earth. And with increased tourism, it's getting worse. The French can't figure out what to do with all the garbage left by campers around St. Tropez. And in many places, swimming is dangerous because of pollution.
None of this, however, is damaging anyone's fun. The Mediterranean gets more popular every year with tourists. Obviously, they don't go there for clean water. They stand traffic jams and seem to like crowded beaches. They don't even mind the pollution. No matter how dirty the water is, the coastline still looks beautiful. And as long as the sun shines, it's still better than sitting in the cold rain in Berlin, London, or Oslo.
71. It can be inferred from the passage that Europeans travel mostly for the reason that _________.
A. they want to see battlefields or religious shrines
B. they are interested in different cultures
C. they would like to take pictures in front of famous sites
D. they wish to escape from the cold, dark and rainy days back at home
72.In Para.1, cities like London, Copenhagen, and Amsterdam are mentioned to show that _________.
A. they are not good cities in geography and climate
B. how rich their residents are
C. these cities lack places of historic interest and tourist spots
D. they have got more tourism than they can handle
73.According to the passage, which of the following countries attracts more tourists than the others?
A. Italy
B. Spain
C. France
D. Greece
74. The sentence “one tourist for every person living in Spain” (Para.2 ) means _________.
A. every year the number of tourists is equal to（等于） the number of people living in Spain
B. all the 37 millions people living in Spain are tourists
C. every person living in Spain has to take care of a tourist
D. every Spanish is visited by a tourist every year
75. Which of the following will damage the tourists' fun at Mediterranean resorts and beaches?
A. Polluted water.
B. Crowded buses.
C. Traffic jams.
D. Rainy weather

For many years, parties have been an important social event. When 25 people or more gather at a certain location in order to have fun and engage in conversation, it can be considered a party. Parties usually have different drinks and food choices, and music is a large part of the event, very often.
Birthday parties are held in honor of an individual who is having a birthday, and presents and gifts are usually brought by attendees(出席者).The song “Happy Birthday to You”is very often sung by partygoers for the person who is having a birthday.
There are different kinds of Birthday parties. Adults may have birthday parties in restaurants or nightclubs, while children usually have parties at home or at funhouses. Sometimes children may have parties at water parks or amusement parks, as well.
Birthday parties may also happen in the manner of a surprise party, where the person having a birthday is not told about the birthday preparations. Surprise parties include guests hiding in a location where the party is to take place, then shouting “surprise!”when the guest of honor enters.
Sporting event parties usually take place around a specific sports happening, such as the Super Bowl, the World Cup or the World Series. People gather and eat, drink, and laugh as they talk about the happenings of the games within that sporting event. These types of parties are very lively and usually loud.
Nightly socialization parties include house parties and dance parties. House parties sometimes are held by teenagers and young adults of college age in a set location; private houses are often the location of choice. People who manage the music are hired to provide musical entertainment. Usually alcohol is included, resulting in trouble for the attendants of the party.
Dance parties include energetic music like disco or pop. People gather at these parties to dance, drink, and have a good time. Usually people at these parities will be of younger ages between
18-28.
Section C (10 points)
Directions Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage and required words limit. Write your answers on your answer sheet.
Have you ever stayed in a hotel? Most Chinese hotels often provide guests with things like disposable (一次性的) toothbrushes, toothpaste, shampoo and slippers. Many guests like the idea because they don't have to bring their own. But, if you travel to Beijing, remember to bring your own things. Starting from June, some hotels in Beijing will no longer provide guests with these disposables. They want to ask people to use less disposable things.
Many disposable things are made of plastic, not easy to rot away. People throw them away after using them only once. It is a waste of natural resources and is very bad for the environment. Do
you know, one Chinese person makes as much as 400kg of waste a year! Most of that waste comes from disposable things. In Beijing, people throw away about 19,000 tons of plastic bags and 1,320 tons
of plastic lunch bowls every year! Plastic can take between 100 and 400 years to break down. So
the less plastic we throw out, the better. So, wherever you travel, bring your own things and use
them again and again.
At home and school, you can also do something to make our world a better place. Try to use daily necessities （日用品）once more. Use cloth shopping bags, not plastic ones. After using a plastic
bag, wash it out and let it dry. Then you can use it over and over again. Do not use paper cups.
At your school canteen, use your own bowl and chopsticks instead of disposable ones.
96. Please list at least 4 disposable things mentioned in the passage. (Not more than 5 words)
__________________________________________________________________________ 97. What will happen in some hotels in Beijing starting from June according to the passage?

98. Why is it bad to throw disposables away after using them only once? (Not more than 15words)
