Top Wonders of the World
　　From India to Rome， these sights will inspire your next historical vacation.
　　Taj Mahal
　　The Taj Mahal was built by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his wife Mumtaz Mahal.Constructed from 1632 to 1648， the property covers 42 acres， including its beautiful gardens.
　　Best time to go： Late spring and early summer in this part of India has often severe heat.Then come monsoons.November to February is your best chance for pleasant weather.The sunrises here are highly admired.
　　The Great Wall
　　The Great Wall of China is the world’s longest wall and one of the most famous landmarks in China.Dating back to about 700 BCE， it stretches over 13，000 miles and was designed to protect the country from invaders.
　　Best time to go： Plan for a spring or fall trip when the weather is nicer and fewer people visit.Summertime is often hot and crowded， and winter can be extremely cold in northern China.
　　Petra
　　Located in the Kingdom of Jordan， Petra was built directly into the cliffside around 312 BCE by the Nabataeans.The city includes temples， tombs， and its most well-known building — the Treasury.
　　Best time to go： Summer can get very hot in Jordan， and winter is much colder than you may realise.Weatherwise， aim for spring or fall.

　　Margaret Southern was a special-needs teacher from Greenville， South Carolina， who died in 2012 at age 94.Southern loved children and animals.Before she allowed Mike Shain， vice president of wealth management at UBS， to handle her investments， she made him promise to take in her dog， Molly， if anything happened to her.“I know you’ll take care of her，” she told him.
　　In fact， Southern outlived Molly by several years and had her buried in her yard.But she continued to worry about animals， especially those that were homeless.When she died， she left half her $8.4 million estate （财产） to the Greenville Humane Society — even though she’d never had any direct contact with the organisation — and the other half to the Community Foundation of Greenville， which distributed the money to organisations that benefit early childhood education and special education for children.She also left money to various friends and families.
　　“It’s a wonderful surprise to wake up and find a very modest woman who cares greatly for our community and its children，” said Susan Shi， PhD， founder of the Institute for Child Success.
　　Southern’s wealth also came as a shock to most who knew her.She lived in a modest town house and got around Greenville in a common car.Her money came from a few shares of stock left to her by her husband， who had died in 1983.She added to that through the 80’s.
　　“What’s exceptional is she didn’t spend it on herself， and she was able to accumulate a lot of money that she wanted to direct to her dearest charities，” Bob Morris， president of the Community Foundation， told the Greenville News.“I haven’t met a lot of people like that.”
　　Did their generous natures help Southern and these other extraordinary givers live so long？ It’s possible.Studies have found that people who are charitable， whether it’s via volunteering or donating money， tend to have lower blood pressure， less stress， and longer lives.
4.What did Margaret Southern want Mike Shain to do？（　　）
A.Take care of her.
B.Do her housework.
C.Look after her dog.
D.Manage her estate.
5.What does the Greenville Humane Society probably do？（　　）
A.It helps children.
B.It protects animals.
C.It helps disabled people.
D.It protects the environment.
6.What’s the author’s purpose of using Bob Morris’s words？ （　　）
A.To provide some more proof.
B.To give some extra information.
C.To explain Margaret Southern’s act.
D.To speak highly of Margaret Southern.
7.What’s the main idea of the last paragraph？（　　）
A.Why people donate money.
B.Why people work voluntarily.
C.Giving makes one live long.
D.The benefits of doing good.

　　Ireland has a very difficult history.The problems started in the 16th century when English rulers tried to conquer Ireland.For hundreds of years， the Irish people fought against the English.Finally， in 1921， the British government was forced to give independence to the south of Ireland.The result is that today there are two “Irelands”.Northern Ireland， in the north， is part of the United Kingdom.The Republic of Ireland， in the south， is an independent country.
　　In the 1840s， the main crop， potato， was affected by diseases and about 750，000 people died of hunger.This， and a shortage of work， forced many people to leave Ireland and live in the USA， the UK， Australia and Canada.As a result of these problems， the population fell from 8.2 million in 1841 to 6.6 million in 1851.
　　For many years， the majority of Irish people earned their living as farmers.Today， many people still work on the land but more and more people are moving to the cities to work in factories and offices.Life in the city is very different from life in the countryside， where things move at a quieter and slower pace.
　　The Irish are famous for being warm-hearted and friendly.Oscar Wilde， a famous Irish writer， once said that the Irish were “the greatest talkers since the Greeks”.Since independence， Ireland has revived （复兴） its own culture of music， language and literature.Different areas have different styles of old Irish songs which are sung without instruments.Other kinds of Irish music use many different instruments such as the violin， whistles， etc.
8.What does the author tell us in Paragraph 1？（　　）
A.How the Irish fought against the English.
B.How Ireland gained independence.
C.How English rulers tried to conquer Ireland.
D.How two “Irelands” came into being.
9.What can we learn from the text？（　　）
A.Food shortages and a lack of work in the 1840s led to a decline in population in Ireland.
B.People are moving to cities for lack of work in the countryside in Ireland.
C.It is harder to make a living as a farmer than as a factory worker in Ireland.
D.Different kinds of old Irish songs are all sung with instruments in Ireland.
10.What does the last paragraph mainly talk about？（　　）
A.The Irish culture.
B.The Irish character.
C.The Irish instruments.
D.A famous Irish writer.
11.What can be the best title for the text？（　　）
A.Life in Ireland
B.Ireland： Past and Present
C.A Very Difficult History
D.The Independence of Ireland

　　People are attracted by the unknown， by the possibility that there are things out there that are yet to be discovered.Many of us still hope that some amazing， unexpected creatures may be hiding somewhere.
　　These creatures are the so-called “cryptids”， animals such as the Himalayan Yeti， north American Bigfoot or Australia’s own Yowie.Perhaps the most famous is the Loch Ness monster.
　　The first written report of an unusual aquatic （水生的） creature in the lake dates back to the seventh century.We have to wait until the end of the 19th century for the next sighting.
　　Some scientists argue that a giant aquatic reptile （爬行动物） would have a hard time surviving in the cold waters of the Scottish lake （around 5 ℃， on average）.But sea turtles are large reptiles that can live in the cold waters.A study by French scientist Aurélien Bernard found that these animals were likely capable of adjusting their body temperature， and were therefore capable of surviving in relatively cold waters.
　　However， unless Nessie is a fish， it would need to surface regularly in order to breathe and so its appearing should be fairly frequent.But they are not.
　　There is another problem that makes the existence of such a creature extremely unlikely.Nessie cannot possibly be a single creature that has survived for thousands of years.But， if we have several Nessies， why is it so hard to see these creatures？
　　New species of large animals do turn up unexpectedly every now and then.The Coelacanth， a fish thought to be extinct for millions of years， was caught off the coast of South Africa in 1938， and the megamouth shark is another living fossil discovered only about 40 years ago.
　　But these are creatures that live in the ocean， a very poorly explored part of our planet.
　　Considering how much attention has been devoted to exploring the waters of Loch Ness in the past few decades， I would be very surprised if such a creature was actually living down there.
12.Why are people interested in cryptids？（　　）
A.For economic benefits.
B.For environmental protection.
C.To satisfy their curiosity.
D.To gain a sense of achievement.
13.Why can sea turtles live in the cold waters？（　　）
A.They can produce the heat.
B.They can get warm by moving.
C.They can change the water temperature.
D.They can control their body temperature.
14.What does the author want to show by mentioning the Coelacanth and the megamouth shark in Paragraph 7？（　　）
A.The ocean needs to be explored.
B.New small animals can hardly be found.
C.It’s possible to discover new large animals.
D.Some large animals in the sea are dying out.
15.What’s the author’s purpose of writing the passage？（　　）
A.To doubt the existence of the Loch Ness monster.
B.To discuss how to discover the Loch Ness monster.
C.To give a simple introduction to the Loch Ness monster.
D.To analyse the possibilities of finding the Loch Ness monster.

　　Even if you live a green lifestyle at home， it’s possible to ignore the influence your travels could have on the environment.16.（　　） Here are some steps you can take to reduce the possible harm that comes from travelling around the world.
　　Choose your means of transportation.If you can reach a destination by train， consider taking one.17.（　　） Avoiding flying completely is often not a choice for travellers， but the idea is to reduce unnecessary flights when possible.Use local public transport where possible and travel on foot or by bike to explore smaller areas.
　　Find eco-friendly accommodation.18.（　　） If you are going to the mountains or into the countryside， look for an eco-friendly place to stay.Even during city travel you can find environmentally friendly hotels.
　　Know your environment.Remember every country has challenges to deal with.For some it is plastic bags， for others the amount of energy used on air conditioning or heating.19.（　　） Use water wisely for example when you are in dry countries.
　　20.（　　） Don’t forget your good habits just because you are on holiday.Clean up after yourself and don’t litter.Remember to bring a couple of food containers to pack a lunch and avoid any unnecessary packaging.
A.Eat locally grown foods.
B.Get your home holiday-ready.
C.Be as green as you are at home.
D.Make sure you know them and act responsibly.

如何解主旨大意题
　　听力中的主旨大意题要求学生对听到的内容有一个整体的把握和全面的理解，要知道对话双方或独白者究竟表达了什么。任何一段对话或独白都是围绕一个主题展开的，有时候主旨大意较明显，有时则需要归纳和概括。
一、常见的解题策略
1.抓住材料的前两句话特别重要，因为前两句话往往是主题句，即使不是主题句，也对理解全文有重要的意义。
2.整体把握和全面领会所听到的内容。为了把握所听内容的主旨要义，要从说话人的语气上体会判断，抓住关键词，对语段进行整体理解，而不应纠结于某些小细节，避免以偏概全。
二、常见的提问方式
1.What are the speakers mainly discussing？
2.What are the speakers talking about？
3.What are the speakers doing？
4.What is the dialogue/conversation about？
【典例】　What are the speakers talking about？（　　）
A.A way to improve air quality.
B.A problem with traffic jams.
C.A suggestion for city planning.
【听力原文】
M：Air pollution is so bad in this city.I think the government should stop people from driving cars on certain days.
W：You have a point.Air pollution is a problem， but not letting people drive on certain days is a bad idea.People have to go to work by car.
M：I’m afraid I don’t agree with you there.Reducing air pollution is really important.People are so used to driving that they don’t think about any other ways.If we stop them from driving on certain days， maybe they could think of new ways to get around.
W：I see your point， but I still think it wouldn’t be possible to stop people from driving.

听力技巧点拨——授之以渔，证之以例
如何解主旨大意题
　　听力中的主旨大意题要求学生对听到的内容有一个整体的把握和
全面的理解，要知道对话双方或独白者究竟表达了什么。任何一段对
话或独白都是围绕一个主题展开的，有时候主旨大意较明显，有时则
需要归纳和概括。
一、常见的解题策略
1. 抓住材料的前两句话特别重要，因为前两句话往往是主题句，即使
不是主题句，也对理解全文有重要的意义。
2. 整体把握和全面领会所听到的内容。为了把握所听内容的主旨要
义，要从说话人的语气上体会判断，抓住关键词，对语段进行整体
理解，而不应纠结于某些小细节，避免以偏概全。
二、常见的提问方式
1. What are the speakers mainly discussing？
2. What are the speakers talking about？
3. What are the speakers doing？
4. What is the dialogue/conversation about？
【典例】　What are the speakers talking about？（　　）
A. A way to improve air quality.
B. A problem with traffic jams.
C. A suggestion for city planning.
【听力原文】
M：Air pollution is so bad in this city.I think the government should stop
people from driving cars on certain days.
W：You have a point.Air pollution is a problem， but not letting people
drive on certain days is a bad idea.People have to go to work by car.
M：I’m afraid I don’t agree with you there.Reducing air pollution is
really important.People are so used to driving that they don’t think about
any other ways.If we stop them from driving on certain days， maybe
they could think of new ways to get around.
W：I see your point， but I still think it wouldn’t be possible to stop
people from driving.
【分析】　该段对话是围绕话题“Air pollution is so bad in this city.I
think the government should stop people from driving cars on certain
days.”展开的。故选A。

Top Wonders of the World
　　From India to Rome， these sights will inspire your next historical
vacation.
　　The Taj Mahal was built by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan in memory
of his wife Mumtaz Mahal.Constructed from 1632 to 1648， the property
covers 42 acres， including its beautiful gardens.
　　Best time to go： Late spring and early summer in this part of India
has often severe heat.Then come monsoons.November to February is your
best chance for pleasant weather.The sunrises here are highly admired.
　　
　　Taj Mahal
　　The Great Wall
The Great Wall of China is the world’s longest wall and one of the
most famous landmarks in China.Dating back to about 700 BCE， it
stretches over 13，000 miles and was designed to protect the country from
invaders.
　　Best time to go： Plan for a spring or fall trip when the weather is
nicer and fewer people visit.Summertime is often hot and crowded， and
winter can be extremely cold in northern China.
　　Petra
Located in the Kingdom of Jordan， Petra was built directly into the
cliffside around 312 BCE by the Nabataeans.The city includes temples，
tombs， and its most well-known building — the Treasury.
　　Best time to go： Summer can get very hot in Jordan， and winter is
much colder than you may realise.Weatherwise， aim for spring or fall.
　　The Colosseum
　　The Colosseum remains Rome’s top attraction.Built in the first
century by Emperor Vespasian， the massive theater spans 620 by 513
feet， which would hold 80，000 people.
　　Best time to go： You’ll find fewer tourists there during Rome’s
low season （winter）， weekdays and during the opening hour or near
closing time.If you show up in summer at midday， it’s going to be
hot！

　　Margaret Southern was a special-needs teacher from Greenville，
South Carolina， who died in 2012 at age 94.Southern loved children and
animals.Before she allowed Mike Shain， vice president of wealth
management at UBS， to handle her investments， she made him promise
to take in her dog， Molly， if anything happened to her.“I know
you’ll take care of her，” she told him.
　　In fact， Southern outlived Molly by several years and had her buried
in her yard.But she continued to worry about animals， especially those
that were homeless.When she died， she left half her $8.4 million estate
（财产） to the Greenville Humane Society — even though she’d never
had any direct contact with the organisation — and the other half to the
Community Foundation of Greenville， which distributed the money to
organisations that benefit early childhood education and special education
for children.She also left money to various friends and families.
　　“It’s a wonderful surprise to wake up and find a very modest
woman who cares greatly for our community and its children，” said
Susan Shi， PhD， founder of the Institute for Child Success.
　　Southern’s wealth also came as a shock to most who knew her.She
lived in a modest town house and got around Greenville in a common
car.Her money came from a few shares of stock left to her by her
husband， who had died in 1983.She added to that through the 80’s.
　　“What’s exceptional is she didn’t spend it on herself， and she
was able to accumulate a lot of money that she wanted to direct to her
dearest charities，” Bob Morris， president of the Community
Foundation， told the Greenville News.“I haven’t met a lot of people
like that.”
　　Did their generous natures help Southern and these other
extraordinary givers live so long？ It’s possible.Studies have found that
people who are charitable， whether it’s via volunteering or donating
money， tend to have lower blood pressure， less stress， and longer
lives.

　　Ireland has a very difficult history.The problems started in the 16th
century when English rulers tried to conquer Ireland.For hundreds of
years， the Irish people fought against the English.Finally， in 1921，
the British government was forced to give independence to the south of
Ireland.The result is that today there are two “Irelands”.Northern
Ireland， in the north， is part of the United Kingdom.The Republic of
Ireland， in the south， is an independent country.
　　In the 1840s， the main crop， potato， was affected by diseases and
about 750，000 people died of hunger.This， and a shortage of work，
forced many people to leave Ireland and live in the USA， the UK，
Australia and Canada.As a result of these problems， the population fell
from 8.2 million in 1841 to 6.6 million in 1851.
　　For many years， the majority of Irish people earned their living as
farmers.Today， many people still work on the land but more and more
people are moving to the cities to work in factories and offices.Life in the
city is very different from life in the countryside， where things move at a
quieter and slower pace.
　　The Irish are famous for being warm-hearted and friendly.Oscar
Wilde， a famous Irish writer， once said that the Irish were “the
greatest talkers since the Greeks”.Since independence， Ireland has
revived （复兴） its own culture of music， language and
literature.Different areas have different styles of old Irish songs which are
sung without instruments.Other kinds of Irish music use many different
instruments such as the violin， whistles， etc.

　　People are attracted by the unknown， by the possibility that there are
things out there that are yet to be discovered.Many of us still hope that
some amazing， unexpected creatures may be hiding somewhere.
　　These creatures are the so-called “cryptids”， animals such as the
Himalayan Yeti， north American Bigfoot or Australia’s own
Yowie.Perhaps the most famous is the Loch Ness monster.
　　The first written report of an unusual aquatic （水生的） creature in
the lake dates back to the seventh century.We have to wait until the end of
the 19th century for the next sighting.
　　Some scientists argue that a giant aquatic reptile （爬行动物）
would have a hard time surviving in the cold waters of the Scottish lake
（around 5 ℃， on average）.But sea turtles are large reptiles that can
live in the cold waters.A study by French scientist Aurélien Bernard found
that these animals were likely capable of adjusting their body
temperature， and were therefore capable of surviving in relatively cold
waters.
　　However， unless Nessie is a fish， it would need to surface
regularly in order to breathe and so its appearing should be fairly
frequent.But they are not.
　　There is another problem that makes the existence of such a creature
extremely unlikely.Nessie cannot possibly be a single creature that has
survived for thousands of years.But， if we have several Nessies， why is
it so hard to see these creatures？
　　New species of large animals do turn up unexpectedly every now and
then.The Coelacanth， a fish thought to be extinct for millions of years，
was caught off the coast of South Africa in 1938， and the megamouth
shark is another living fossil discovered only about 40 years ago.
　　But these are creatures that live in the ocean， a very poorly explored
part of our planet.
　　Considering how much attention has been devoted to exploring the
waters of Loch Ness in the past few decades， I would be very surprised if
such a creature was actually living down there.

used on air conditioning or heating.19.（　　） Use water wisely for
example when you are in dry countries.

语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了如何做一名绿色环保的
旅行者。
16. E　本空前提到你可能会忽视旅行对环境的影响，结合本空后
的reduce the possible harm that comes from travelling around the
world可知，本空所讲内容应该与“旅行对环境的影响”有关，E
项符合语境。
17. G　本段主要讲述旅行时如何选择交通工具。本空前的one指代
train，结合本空后的flying可知，G项符合语境。G项中的It指代taking
the train。
18. F　本段所讲内容与住宿有关。故F项符合语境。F项中的Where
you choose to sleep at night与accommodation同义。
19. D　本空前提到了有些国家面临的环境问题，结合本空后所给实
例可知，本空讲述“你应该了解当地面临的环境问题并积极应对”，
故D项符合语境。D项中的them指代上文提到的challenges。
20. C　由本空后的内容可知，本段讲述旅行时应该和在家一样坚持
保护环境，因此C项作本段的主旨句最恰当。
谢谢观看！
