19、题 1】 .B 【小题 1】 .A 【小题 1】 .D 【小题 1】 .C 阅读理解 When I looked at the grade on my math paper my jaw almost dropped to the ground: a big “65” in bright red ink. I had never received such a terrible grade before. I was so ashamed that when I got home that afternoon I lied to my dad. I told him I got 85 and

20、that the report wouldnt come until the end of the month. Dad smiled. His daughter would never lie about her grade, so he didnt doubt the unusual delay of my report. A month later, Dad casually asked me again about the report at the dinner table. He looked right into my eyes and asked for an answer.

21、Having no choice, I told him that I had in fact got just 65 in my math final. I had lied because I didnt want to let him down. For a moment, he just looked at me. I would have preferred a telling off than that silence. Finally, Dad said, in a hurt voice, “You have already let me down, with your lie.

22、 I am not disappointed at your math score. That is no big deal no one can be perfect all the time. But I am very disappointed in you. If you cant be honest with your dad, who can you be honest with Its much easier to achieve a better grade than rebuild someone elses trust in you.” Dads words touched

23、 my heart. I couldnt forgive myself for having hurt his feelings. I took out the report that I had been hiding for weeks, handed to him and apologized, sincerely. I realized that my honesty is not only important to me personally, but to those around me that truly care about my well-being. In one of

24、Shakespeares plays a character says: “No legacy is so rich as honesty.” After the crisis between Dad and me, I began to understand those words. 【小题 1】 .The first paragraph may suggest that the author _.

28、r and the Deathly Hallows was complete, it was much more than a movie wrap-up (结束 ). Rupert Grint, who played Ron Weasley, told The Sunday Times that hes happy to have the time for romance now filming is over. Emma Watson, who is Hermione Granger in the movies, said she looked forward to “finally be

29、ing free, being my own person” a change signaled by her new haircut. Daniel Radcliffe, who has been the face of the boy wizard since 2001, said that he “did cry like a little girl” when the last movie finished. “Its like the ending of a relationship,” he told The Vancouver Sun. “Theres a sense of, G

30、od, what am I going to do now ” He said he was eager to see “what life holds for him beyond Hogwarts”. Along with the three actors, Harry Potter fans, now in their late teens, came of age with J.K. Rowlings characters. For them, the last film isnt just a goodbye to a decade of magic, but the close o

31、f their childhoods. “We are the Harry Potter generation,” Canadian Andrea Hill, 19, told The Vancouver Sun. “We started in elementary school, reading about a boy our age who was going through the same things we were going through. We grew up, so did he.” For Emily Chahal, an 18-year-old student, the

32、 series has been an inspiring journey. “That first book was what started my love of literature. It was the inspiration for everything really teaching me to appreciate my friends, and to face difficulties with a sense of courage,” she said. “I have a sense of sadness. The end of the movies is kind of

33、 the end of my childhood, too.” Fortunately, to the delight of die-hard fans, there are many things that keep the boy wizard alive. For example, in June this year, a Harry Potter theme park opened in Florida, US. Some schools in the US and UK also have Quidditch teams players ride broomsticks. “Were

34、 not waiting anymore to see what happens to Harry next,” Hill told The Vancouver Sun. She founded a Quidditch club at Carleton University in Canada. “Were still engaged in that magical world.” 【小题 1】 .

38、otter theme park. 答案： 【小题 1】 .B 【小题 1】 .D 【小题 1】 .A 【小题 1】 .C Whats your dream vacation Watching wildlife in Kenya Boating down the Amazon Sunbathing in Malaysia New chances are opening up all the time to explore the world. So we visit travel agents, compare packages and prices, and pay our money. W

39、e know what our vacation costs us. But do we know what it might cost someone else Its true that many poorer countries now depend on tourism for foreign income. Unfortunately, though, tourism often harms the local people more than it helps them. It might cost their homes and lands. In Myanmar, 5,200

40、people were forced to leave their homes among the pagodas（佛塔） in Bagan so that tourists could visit the pagodas. Tourism might also cost the local people their livelihood a nd dignity. Local workers often find only menial（卑微的） jobs in the tourist industry. And most of the profits do not help the loc

41、al economy. Instead, profits return to the tour operators in wealthier countries. When the Maasai people in Tanzania were driven from their lands, some moved to city slums. Others now make a little money selling souvenirs or posing for photos. Problems like these were observed more than 20 years ago

42、. But now some non-government organizations, tour operators and local governments are working together to begin correcting them. Tourists, too, are putting on the pressure. The result is responsible tourism, or“ethical tourism.”Ethical tourism has people at its heart. New international agreements an

43、d codes of conduct can help protect the peoples lands, homes, economies and cultures. The beginnings are small, though, and the problems are complex. But take heart. The good news is that everyone, including us, can play a part to help the local people in the places we visit. Tour operators and comp

44、anies can help by making sure that local people work in good conditions and earn reasonable wages. They can make it a point to use only locally owned hotels, restaurants and guide services. They can share profits fairly to help the local economy. And they can involve the local people in planning and

45、 managing tourism. What can tourists do First, we can ask tour companies to provide information about the conditions of local citizens. We can then make our choices and tell them why. And while were abroad, we can: Buy local foods and products, not imported ones. Pay a fair price for goods and servi

46、ces and not bargain for the cheapest price. Avoid flaunting(炫耀 ) wealth. Ask before taking photographs of people. They are not just part of the landscape! Lets enjoy our vacation and make sure others do, too. 【小题 1】 . What is probably the best title for the article A Tourism Causes Bad Effects B Tou
