Today many people want adventure when they go on holiday; they want a challenge and excitement. But there are other more important elements they look for in their holidays. The main one is that they want to feel a sense of achievement from their holiday. That is why growing numbers of today’s holidaymakers are turning to eco-tourism.
Travelers who choose eco-tourism can contribute to the environment rather than destroy it; and there are more and more projects to choose from. In Antigua(安提瓜岛), guests help the endangered loggerhead turtles by covering up their tracks against predators. In Boston, USA visitors work with the Museum of Science to create a Science Park. In Egypt, eco-tourists join in a “Green Program” for planting trees, bushes and flowers.
The most selfless eco-tourism projects can be found in England. One organization offers tourists eco-work from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm and warns them that, although the work is very rewarding, it can also be demanding! People who are lucky enough to find a place on holiday are involved in productive projects, such as clearing paths, preserving plants. Sometimes the work is heavy, like cutting down weeds and rebuilding stonewalls. It’s rewarding, though! One visitor was challenged to provide a stream crossing, to connect pathways on both sides. After several days’ hard effort and determination from her and the rest of the group, there was a footbridge in place which they were able to cross. At the end of a week’s holiday, they all stood on the bridge to have their photo taken above the stream. It was a great achievement, and a big ‘plus’ for the environment.
41. What do people want to find from their holiday?
A. excitement B. achievement C. challenge D. all the above
42. Which of the following is not true, according to the passage?
A. A number of today’s holidaymakers like eco-tourism.
B. In Boston, American visitors work with the Museum of Science to create a Science Park.
C. In Egypt, guests help the endangered loggerhead turtles by covering up their tracks against predator.
D. In Egypt, eco-tourists join in a “Green Program” for planting trees, bushes and flowers.
43. One visitor was challenged to provide a stream crossing because_______________.
A. he wants to take a picture above the stream.
B. he wants to prove that he is very strong.
C. he wants to get rewards.
D. he wants to feel a sense of achievement.

Loose robes(长袍) with big sleeves. High collars and long skirts. It's not a scene in a TV drama. Tying up their hair and putting on the cotton shoes, about 60 young people gathered in a Beijing tea house Monday to perform traditional dances, music and poetry readings.
The event was set up by Haanen.com, a non-governmental organization founded in 2003. It has more than 24,000 registered members worldwide. They all love traditional Chinese culture and believe that recovering the Han costume is the best way to show love for China. Active members are mostly in their 20s or 30s.
Chen Ye, a 19-year-old member said it made her feel down that Koreans have hanbok(传统韩服) and Japanese have kimono(和服) while Chinese don't have a typical traditional dress.
"Most people may think the cheongsam(旗袍)could be a symbol, but I don't think so," said Chen, from Capital University of Business and Economics。
Chen said Han costume is the one for China. It is the traditional dress of Han nationality. It had been worn for thousands of years before it died out at the end of Ming Dynasty.
This is not the group's first activity. In the past two years, some of the members have dressed up in traditional clothes and visited sights in the downtown areas of many Chinese cities. It helps raise people's awareness of traditional Chinese culture.
Gu Xiaoming, history professor with Fudan University, said the trend is an attempt to hold on to traditional identities in a changing world. "It's a youth movement perhaps springing up against the background of globalization."
44. Which is not a characteristic of traditional dress?
A. loose robes with big sleeves B. loose robes with small sleeves
C. high collars D. long skirts
45. Which of the following is not the reason why these people hold activities?
A. They all love traditional Chinese culture
B. They want to raise people’s awareness of traditional Chinese culture
C. They want to show their love for China
D. They want to fight against globalization
46. From his words, We knew Chen Ye was very __________.
A. angry B. satisfied C. disappointed D. surprised
47. Which statement is true, according to this passage?
A. The organization has 24,000 registered members worldwide in total.
B. Chen Ye thinks the cheongsam could be a symbol of traditional Chinese dress.
C. This performance is the group's first activity.
D. This activity can help people remember traditional Chinese culture.
48. Professor Gu Xiaoming’s words towards this activity mean__________.
A. This activity will be stopped soon.
B. This activity will go on.
C. This activity is a setback..
D. This activity changed the world.

Yesterday, Super Girl, the TV program which lasted half a year and received an incredible audience rating, finished, finally. Honestly, all that I knew about Super Girl came from Cindy who started to pay attention to this act at the very beginning. At first, I just did not like the way the judgments acted and the unprofessional singers. However, after I watched the lattermost(排在最后的) two plays, I changed my mind. It seemed that the girls all made a great progress during the time. Now, they sang pretty better and they were much smarter than before. They have been growing up.
Today, visiting the websites, I read many pieces of news about Super Girl. Several agents show their interests in Zhang Liangying and super girls will hold a series of vocal(声乐的) concerts in different cities in this October. I hope Zhang Liangying could persist in her own style. Many singers, for example, Su Rui and Zhang Huimei, started from pub by singing beautiful English songs, but after a while, they changed into Chinese songs to cater for all the tastes. What a pity they abandoned their original styles! On the other hand, Li Yuchun has a totally different color that no singer has by far. She is so charming before the lights that no one can help applauding her. Although she is a little laddish(稚气的)now, I believe she will succeed if she keeps singing and dancing. It should be noticed that she is the first person in this manner.
Walking on the street, I always hear two or three people talking about Super Girl. These days, my friends are all rushing at their own businesses, like hunting for a job, struggling on living, applying for a further education overseas, or pursuing a love. Facing the difficulties, Super Girl gives us two gold coins: confidence and courage. whether there are audiences or not, they still sing out loud.
53. “Super girl” was held from ________ to ________.
A. April; June B. January; September C. January; October D. April; September
54. According to this passage, which statement is not true?
A. “Super girl” is a TV program which lasted six months.
B. The girls will hold a series of vocal concerts in many cities in this October.
C. Although Li Yuchun gave us a wonderful performance, no one applaud for her.
D. Although “Super girl” is finished, many people are talking about it.

Beijing plans to build huge free or low-cost parking lots beyond the Fourth and Fifth Ring Roads to encourage more car owners to take buses or subways to the downtown area.
The plan is just one of the many measures the city plans to take to reduce its traffic congestions(拥塞) as the 2008 Summer Olympic Games draw near. Low or no parking fees would be used as economic leverage(经济杠杆) to reduce growing parking demands from urban areas.
Car owners living in the suburbs will be encouraged to park their cars beyond the Fourth and Fifth Ring Roads and take buses or subways to the downtown area. Statistics show that nearly one quarter of the city’s traffic flow is concentrated in the 62-square-kilometre downtown area within the Second Ring Road, which makes up only 12 per cent of the city’s total area.
The Beijing Traffic Management Bureau, receives between 400 and 500 calls reporting traffic jams every day and more than 90 per cent of the roads are filled to capacity during rush hour every morning and evening. Part of the problem is the lack of easy links between bus routes, subways and cars.
According to the communication commission, half of the city’s investment(投资) in transportation will go towards public transit construction in the next few years, marking a jump from the current only 20 per cent. Moreover, Beijing plans to change its layout(布局) by building new city centers, such as at Yizhuang, Tongzhou, Shunyi and Changping, in a bid to reduce the traffic flow to the downtown.
The current layout of Beijing, expanded ring roads around the same center of the Forbidden City, is seen as the root cause of the endless traffic jams.
The downtown area is crowded with three business centers and one financial center, as well as nearly 400 government organs and institutions.
Traffic experts say building more urban centers around Beijing may reduce the number of residents living in the suburbs who travel long distances to work downtown every day, thus reducing traffic flows.
58. In the coming years, if a man beyond the Fourth Ring Road goes to work in the downtown of Beijing, he is encouraged to _____.
A. drive there directly
B. take a taxi
C. take buses or subways
D. park his car in a place which asks for no fees
59. According to the passage, while more and more people drive to work in rush hour in Beijing, it is likely to _____.
A. cause traffic accidents B. cause traffic jams
C. save time D. reduce air pollution
60. The passage suggests the author _____.
A. is tired of driving to work
B. is for the plan to reduce Beijing’s traffic congestions
C. finds it costs less to take subways than to drive
D. has benefited a lot by driving to the downtown every day

书面表达
One possible version:
Cosplay is a new trend nowadays. I would prefer to play Micky Mouse who is my favorite cartoon character. He is so lovely that I was deeply impressed the first time I saw him when I was still a little kid. The lovely face has given me a lot of happiness especially when I was depressed. I have some friends who are also interested in Micky Mouse so whenever one of them feels sad, I always give him a Micky Mouse to make them happy. It not only brings much delight just like the bright sunshine does but also improves our friendship. There are pictures and toys of Micky Mouse in my house, which even arise interests of my parents in this little guy. That’s why Micky Mouse is my first choice for a cosplay.
