But things are different for her daughter, Ashley. At 19, Ashley had already set foot on every continent including Antarctica, and all but one of her journeys abroad were taken without her parents, on trips with other teenagers. She started when she was just 13, visiting Europe with a youth travel organization called People to People Student Ambassadors (大使).―It has really changed my plan for graduation,‖ said Ashley, who is now a freshman of a state university. ―When I was younger, I thought I’d like to be anurse someday. But now, I’m learning French, and I’d like to be an ambassador after I graduate. Living and working abroad is something I would like to do.‖At younger ages than the older generation of Americans, thousands of teenagers like Ashley are seeing more faraway corners of the world. High schools now regularly organize student trips that require passports (护照).Middle-school students hike the rainforest instead of joining lakeside summer camps, and older teenagers use the community service (社会服务工作) they did in Africa as writing material for college essays. The sense of community and family are lifetime memories.More than half of the students believed middle school life as the biggest stage for growth. You really see kids mature. Ashley’s mother Ann Kahn agrees, ―I did not travel like this growing up, butI think it’s great that we are able to provide that for her.‖36.

Traffic and pollution are becoming big problems in big cities all over the world. In cities like Mexico City, Shanghai or Cairo the quality of the air is getting worse every day. In the United States, people spend more time sitting in traffic jams.Some of the world’s cities have already found the answer to the problem. In Bogota, the capital of Columbia, the government has taken measures to improve the quality of life for the city’s 8 million people. They created over a thousand new parks, a new public transport system, and built hundreds of cycling and walking paths. People who live in the city also joined in making their city one of the most livable (适合居住的) places in South America.Today city planners around the world are looking for ways to provide more room for living and less room for cars. In America, public transport has increased over 2 % since the mid 1990s — not much but a start. More and morepeople leave their cars at home and get on buses, trains or even ride a bike to work. Some cities are far better at planning than others. In Amsterdam, for example, only 40 % of the population uses their cars to get to work, 35 % rides a bike while 25% uses public transport. In Paris, about half of the city’s workers drive their cars to work.For cities in developing countries, the problems have just started. Traffic is getting worse as more and more people can afford to buy a car.44. The writer listed Mexico City, Shanghai and Cairo as examples of cities of ______.A. heavy trafficB. air pollutionC. rapid developmentD. large population45.

From the third paragraph, we can learn that ______.A. 35% of the population in Paris rides a bike to workB. half of the people in Amsterdam drive their cars to workC. a quarter of the people in Amsterdam use public transportD. American public transport has increased much since the 1990s47. What would be the best title of the text?A. Ways to solve traffic jamsB. New changes in transport systemsC. People’s new choice in big citiesD. Parks instead of cars for the citiesDMost people will generally think about the climate of their travel destination (目的地). A little bit of advance planning, research, and preparation can go along way to ensure a smooth trip, and can help you enjoy yourself much more.A good starting point is to look at the overall (总体的) clim ate of a destination you’re planningto travel — Ireland, for example, is popular for constant rain, but the east coast only sees about half of the number of rainy days as the west coast. Some quick advance research on the normal climate for that location or season might help avoid surprises, and may even help you to choose your destination in the first place.Once you’ve settled on a destination, you can do some preparation — if the climate is wet, pack a small travel umbrella and some warmer clothing and a lightweight nylon raincoat. Warmer weather is easier, but plan to bring some of the necessities (必需品) with you, as they often charge far more to tourists than what you would pay at home. When you are ready to set off, double-check the weather to make sur e there isn’t any last-minute change.Don’t forget to take the altitude into account as well — many countries have a broad range of high and low altitude regions, so if your journey takes you high into the mountains or closer to sea level than the rest of the area, take that into account with your planning.In countries with a lot of rain, be sure not to take anyone else’s umbrella by mistake, it’s considered impolite. In warmer countries, especially in Europe and the Middle East, take care when dressing for the climate, as there are often some dress codes (规范) which may prevent you from entering many churches and institutions (especially for women) and could also go against local customs.48. The text is mainly intended to .A. give travelers advice on the climateB. share with readers some truthC. remind tourists of some dress codesD. stress the importance of the climate49. The underlined word ―double-check‖ in Paragraph 3 probably means .A. pay attention toB. check againC. put asideD. keep in mind50. We can learn from the text that .A. you should avoid the area with a high altitudeB. in Ireland, the east coast is popular with constant rainC. prepare in advance and you will enjoy your trip much moreD. while choosing a destination, you should first consider the altitude51. In warmer countries, travelers are advised to bring some necessities to .A. save much moneyB. ensure their own safetyC. reduce unnecessary troublesD. enjoy themselves betterEToday’s mothers miss the golden age that their own mothers enjoyed in the 1970s and 1980s, researchers found.Mothers have less time to themselves and feel under greater pressure (压力) to balance (平衡) work and family life than the previous generation. As a result, 88% said they felt sorry about the lackof time they spent with their children. The survey of 1,000 mothers also found that more than a third said they had less time to themselves than their mothers did – just three hours a week or 26 minutes a day. And 64% said this was because they had to go out to work, while nearly a third said they were under pressure to be the ―perfect mother‖, the report found.Kate Fox, of the Social Issues Research Centre, which carried out that survey for Procter & Gamble, said, ―With increasing pressure on mothers, support networks are more important than ever.‖ Another report examining childcare in the leading Western nations found that working mo thers in Britain spend just 81 minutes a day caring for their children as a ―primary activity‖.Mothers who stay at home, on the other hand, manage twice as much time – more than two and a half hours – looking after their children, according to the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development.Critics (批评者) say the pressure on women to work long hours andleave their children in the hands of nurseries (托儿所) is putting the happiness of their children at risk (风险).The study also discovers that although more and more modern mothers go out to work, the burden of childcare still falls on them — even if their husband is not in work. A father who is not in work spends just 63 minutes a day looking after his child, 18 minutes less than a mother who goes out to work. Working fathers spare less than three quarters of an hour with their children.52. We know about Kate Fox from the text EXCEPT that .A. he works in the Social Issues Research CentreB. he is a member of Procter & GambleC. he worries about the increasing pressure on mothersD. he did a surv ey of 1,000 mothers about modern mothers’ pressure53. The time for the mothers who stay at home to look after their children is about ______.A. three hours a week or 26 minutes a dayB. two and a half hours a weekC. 63 minutes a dayD. twice as much time as the working women54. We can learn from the last paragraph that ______.A. a father who is not in work spends more time than a mother who goes out to work in looking after childrenB. a mother who goes out to work spends about 81 minutes a day looking after her childC. working fathers spare about 45 minutes with their childrenD. more and more modern mothers go out to work, and more and more modern fathers stay at home to look after children55.
