14、of Spain. It has a port on the sea, two miles away from the coast. It is the capital of a province that is also named Valencia. The city is a market center for what is produced by the land around the city. Most of the city“s money is made from farming. It is also a busy business city, with ships, ra
15、ilways clothes and machine factories. Valencia has an old part with white buildings, colored roofs, and narrow streets. The modern part has long, wide streets and new buildings. Valencia is well known for its parks and gardens. It has many old churches and museums. The University in the center of th
16、e city was built in the 13th century. The city of valencia has been known since the 2nd century. In the 8th century it was the capital of Spain. There is also an important city in Venzuela (委内瑞拉) named Valencia.（分数：12.00）(1).When was Valencia the most important city in Spain?（分数：3.00）A.2nd centuryB.

18、s of the city?（分数：3.00）A.The color of the buildingsB.The age of the buildingsC.The color of the roofD.The length of the streets.Years ago, a cigarette commercial asked if you were smoking more, but enjoying it less. That describes the way many of us live today. We are doing more, but enjoying it les
19、s. And when that doesn“t work, we get the problem. In our extremely hurried search for satisfaction, we try stuffing still more into our days, never realizing that we are taking the wrong approach. The truth is simple; so simple it is hard to believe. Satisfaction lies with less, not with more. Yet,
20、 we pursue the myth that this thing, or that activity, will somehow provide the satisfaction we so desperately seek. Arthur Lindman, in his very effective book, “The Harried Leisure Class,“ described the uselessness of pursuing more. His research focused on what people did with their leisure time. H
21、e found that as income rose, people bought more things to occupy their leisure time. But, ironically, the more things they bought, the less they valued any one of them. Carried to an extreme, he predicted massive boredom in the midst of tremendous variety. That was more than twenty years ago, and hi
22、s prediction seems more accurate every year. Lindman of course, is not the first to discover this. The writer of Ecclesiastes expressed the same thought thousands of years ago. It is better, he wrote, to have less, but enjoy it more. If you would like to enjoy life more, I challenge you to experimen
23、t with me. How could you simplify your life? What could you drop? What could you do without? What could you stop pursuing? What few things could you concentrate on? The more I learn, the more I realize that fullness of life does not depend on things. The more I give up, the more I seem to gain. But
24、words will never convince you. You must try it for yourself.（分数：12.00）(1).Lindman wrote his book _.（分数：3.00）A.ten years agoB.twenty years agoC.more than twenty years agoD.thousands of years ago(2).We can make our life happier if we _.（分数：3.00）A.get rid of useless thingsB.buy more thingsC.sell things

It is an
26、extra large bat that has got a fox“s head, and that feeds on fruit instead of insects. Like all bats, flying foxes hang themselves by their toes when it rest, and travel in great crowds when out flying. A group will live in one spot for years. Sometimes several hundreds of them occupy (占据) a single
27、tree. As they return to the tree toward sunrise, they quarrel among themselves and fight for the best places until long after daylight. Flying foxes have babies once a year, giving birth to only one at a time. At first the mother has to carry the baby on her breast wherever she goes. Later she leave
28、s it hanging up, and brings back food for it to eat. Sometimes a baby falls down to the ground and squeaks (尖叫) for help. Then the older ones swoop (俯冲) down and try to pick it up. If they fail to do so, it will die. Often ten hundreds of dead baby bats can be found lying on the ground at the foot o

31、）A.fly out toward the sunB.look for a new resting placeC.come back to their homeD.go out and look for foodThe letter you write is your personal representative. It takes your place when circumstances make it impossible for you to be there in person. It goes to the hospital to cheer a sick friend. It
32、goes to your hostess to thank her for entertaining you. It conveys your best wishes, congratulations, condolences-when you are not able to do so in person. A friendly letter is like a visit on paper. If you “hate to write letters“, it“s simply because you have not yet discovered the fun it can be to
33、 write and receive letters that are good talk on paper. Many people neglect to answer letters from relatives and friends. To a letter unanswered is like saying, “I don“t think you are worth the time and effort it takes to write a letter.“（分数：15.00）(1).According to the passage, when you can“t come to
34、 a certain place in person, you can _.（分数：3.00）A.send somebody else insteadB.make a telephone callC.send a telegraphD.write a letter(2).Letter can express your _.（分数：3.00）A.congratulationsB.condolencesC.best wishesD.all of the above(3).If you send your friend a letter, it seems that he _.（分数：3.00）A.

37、 has been caused by high price and the changing social situation of women, is one of the most serious problems in Asia. When people talk about it, you can hear a word invented in Japan, “DINKS“, which means Double Income No Kids. In many major Asian cities like Seoul, Singapore, and Tokyo, the cost
38、of a house is extremely high. A young couple who want to buy their own house may have to pay about $300,000 (though prices have fallen). For a fiat with one bedroom, one dining-room, a kitchen, and a bathroom, the couple will pay about $900 a month. What“s more, if they want to have a child, the chi
39、ld“s education is very expensive. For example, most kindergarten charges are at a child, the child“s education is very expensive. For example, most kindergarten charges are at least $5,000 a year. In such a situation, it“s difficult to afford children. The number of married women who want to continu
40、e working increases rapidly because they enjoy their jobs. However, if they want to have children, they immediately have serious problems. Though most companies allow women to leave their job for a short time to have a baby, they expect women with babies to gave up their jobs. In short, if they want
41、 to bring up children properly, both parents have to work, but it is hard for mothers to work. Indeed, women who want to continue working have to choose between having children or keeping their jobs. In a word, Asian governments must take steps to improve the present situation as soon as possible.（分

45、leaveMost of the guests who come on our trips have never been to Egypt before. We want to make everyone comfortable and at ease, but we do always get the same questions in advance of a trip. So here I will give you some travel tips. What should I wear? If you“re lucky enough to visit Egypt between N
46、ovember and February, pack a sweater. You“ll need it the desert gets chilly at night. During the day, the temperature will be agreeable and comfortable. Any other time, pack as if you“re going to Phoenix or Vegas in August. For the ladies, bathing suits are normal if there“s a pool where you“re goin
47、g, but leave the string bikini at home it is a Muslim country, after all. Last, if you are planning on visiting any mosques or certain parts of upper Egypt, ladies will need to plan on bringing something that comes at least to the elbow, and no shorts for men or women in those areas. What special th
48、ings do I need to pack? One of my favorite things in the world to bring to Egypt is an Evian Mister, a sprayer with a fine mist of Evian water. You may be able to find it in your local drug store. Spray a little on your face or head, and your body temperature will feel like it“s dropped 10 or 15 deg
49、rees. Other items include your camera, sun block and extra batteries. How do I communicate with home? Internet cafes are plentiful everywhere, especially in Cairo, Luxor, and Alexandria. If you have international calling on your phone, you should be able to use it AT so simple it is hard to believe. Satisfaction lies with less, not with more.
