This is our first trip to Thailand. All the different smells make us want to try the food. We look forward to eating there and we are going to eat something special for dinner tonight. The hotel we are staying in is cheap, and very clean , which makes us feel comfortable. We plan to stay there for a few days, visit some places in the city, and then travel to Chiang Mai in the north. Tuesday, March 27th Bangkok is wonderful and surprising! The places are interesting which attract many people to visit there. We visited the famous market which was on water, and saw a lot of fruit and vegetables. Everything is so colourful that we feel like staying there forever, and we have taken hundreds of photos already! Later today we will leave for Chiang Mai. We will take the train north, stay in Chiang Mai for two days, and then catch a bus to Chiang Rai.Friday, March 30th Our trip to Chiang Rai was long and boring. We visited a small village in the mountains. The village people here love the quiet life-no computers or photos, which is different from where we live. They are the kindest people I have ever met. They always smile and say “hello”. Kathy and I can only speak a few words of Thai, so smiling is the best way to show our kindness. I feel good here and hope to be able to come back next year and we want to stay there for a week.21. How many days did the writer spend in Thailand?A.3. B. 7. C. 15. D. 30.22. Which of the following is mentioned in the diaries?A. The writer is travelling alone in Thailand. B. Chiang Rai is a boring city in the mountains. C. The writer left Chiang Mai for Chiang Rai by bus. D. Chiang Mai is beautiful city in the south of Thailand.23.What is the best title for the whole diary?A. My first travel B. The outside world C. Travelling to Thailand D. A country on the trainBAli is from a Middle Eastern country. He now stays in the USA. He smokes a lot of cigarettes every day. He has smoked for nine years. Ali says, I tried to quit smoking in my hometown, but it was impossible. My brothers smoke. All my friends smoke. At parties and at meetings, almost all the men smoke. Here in the United States, not as many people smoke. It will be easier to change my habit here. Many smokers are like Ali: they want to stop smoking. The smokers know that smoking is bad for their health. They know it can cause cancer and heart disease. But it is difficult for them to give up smoking because cigarettes have a drug in them. The drug is nicotine. People who smoke a lot need nicotine. When a person first begins to smoke, he usually feels terrible. The nicotine makes him sick. In a few days, the smokers body is used to the nicotine, and he feels fine. Later, the smoker needs nicotine to keep feeling fine. Without nicotine, he feels bad. It is very hard to quit smoking, and many people who quit will soon smoke again. At a party or at work they will decide to smoke just one cigarette. Then they will smoke another cigarette, and another. Soon they become smokers again. Maybe there is only one easy way to quit smoking: never start.24. How long has Ali smoked?A. Three years. B. Five years. C. Seven years. D. Nine years.25. How do the smokers feel without nicotine?A. Bad. B. Happy. C. Worried. D. Fine.26. According to Paragraph 2, many smokers want to stop smoking because they _.A. want to go to parties B. may suffer from cancer C. cant smoke at work D. need nicotine and drugs27. By writing this text, the writer hopes that people will _.A. stay in their hometown B. eat less and smoke moreC. never start smoking D. not live in the United StatesCEverybody hates rats(老鼠). But in the earthquake capitals of the worldJapan, Los Angeles and Turkeyrats will soon be mans new best friends.What happens after an earthquake? We send in rescue dogs. Why? Because they can smell people. Dogs save lives. They help rescuers to find living people. But dogs are big and they cant get into small spaces. So now a new research project is using a smaller animal to save lives: the rat.How does it work? First, the rat is trained to smell people. When this happens, the rats brain gives a signal. This is sent to a small radio on its back, and then the rescuers follow the radio signals. When the rats brain activity jumps, the rescuers know that someone is alive. The rat has smelled that person.Although there are already robots which can do this job, rats are better. Christian Linster at Cornell University, New York, says, “Robots noses dont work well when there are other smells around. Rats are good at that.” Rats can also see in the dark. They are cheaper and quicker to train than dogs, and unlike robots, they dont need electricity!The “rat project” is not finished, but Julie Ryran of International Rescue Corps in Scotland says, “It would be fantastic. A rat could get into spaces we couldnt get to and a rat would get out if it wasnt safe.” Perhaps for the first time in history, people will be happy to see a rat in a building (but only after an earthquake, of course).28. In the earthquake capitals of the world, rats will become mans best friends because they can _.A. take the place of mans rescue jobsB. find the position of people alive who are trapped in buildingsC. serve as food for people alive who are trapped in buildingsD. get into small places29. From the third paragraph we know the rescuers can judge a person alive by_.A. the noise made by the ratB. the rats unusual behaviorC. the signal sent by the radio on the rats backD. the smell given off by the person30. In doing rescue jobs_.A. rats smell better than dogsB. dogs dont need to be trained to smell peopleC. robots sense of smell can be affected by other smells aroundD. rats can see in the dark and are smaller than robots31. Rats have all the following advantages EXCEPT_.A. they are more fantastic than other animalsB. they are less expensive to train than dogsC. they dont need electricityD. they are small and can get into small placesDHow to sing like a superstar is a question people have been asking for ages. We naturally look up to the stars we want to sound like when were young and just experimenting with singing. But as we get older, we find that we have our own voice.In my opinion, you can only be a superstar if you find your own voice. If you want to sound great and attract people, just get comfortable with your own voice. Do you think Bob Dylan has a great voice? Of course not, but people love his voice and his songs. One of the main reasons is that hes very comfortable with himself and his own voice. So, remember this when youre asking yourself how to sing like a superstar.I hate hearing many singers try to imitate(模仿) other singers! But it still happens all the time and yes, some of them do become famous by trying to sound like others. I just dont feel like Im listening to real art when I hear these so-called stars trying to imitate someone else with their voice.Now one thing I like to do is sing other peoples songs in my own voice. Yes, you can practice a great song by an artist you love while youre driving down the road, but practice it in your own voice not his or her voice. Turn down the volume a little and hear your own natural voice singing the song and giving it a totally new flavor!Thats exciting and youre being true to yourself. Were supposed to be artists and that means expressing ourselves in a unique way. So if youre asking how to sing like a superstar, remember to just use your own voice.32. The author used Bob Dylan as an example in order to tell us that_.A. Bob Dylan is a great singer B. a superstar usually has a great voiceC. a great voice helps to make a great singer D. we should feel comfortable with our own voice33. What advice does the author give on practicing singing?A. Never singing others songs. B. Practicing singing in your car.C. Singing the song in your own style. D. Turning off the music while singing.34. What is the authors attitude towards singers imitating other singers?A. Negative. B. Unconcerned. C. Positive.D. Doubtful.35. What can we infer from the passage?A. Young people tend to imitate the stars they love.B. Its not real art to sing other peoples songs.C. People love songs sung in a unique way.D. The author is a famous singer.第2节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Amazing Activities for a Mental Health DayMental health is an important part of your life.
