This little country never fails to please visitors.ArriveThe national airline is Sri Lankan Airlines, which flies from Colombo to London and a couple of other European cities. The countrys main airport is Colombo Bandaranaike, located 29km north of the capital city.Why now?The best time to visit Sri Lankas southern beaches is from November to April. So by going early in the season, youll get the best weather. Also in November, Deepavali, known as “Diwali” or the “Festival of Lights”, is Sri Lankas main religious festival, celebrated throughout the country.SeeThere is plenty to see in Sri Lanka. The ancient capital cities of Polonnaruwa and Anuradhapura are worth seeing, and so are many outstanding ruins. Other must-sees are the rock fortress (要塞) of Sigiriya, towering over the jungle as far as the eye can see, and Dambullas cave temple, the countrys largest and best preserved. Both are UNESCO World Heritage (遗产) Sites. Kandy is a picture-like town, which was the last stronghold of the Kandyan Kings. Today it is a cultural relic centre where age-old customs, arts, and crafts remain.DoSri Lanka owns about 1,600km of beautiful palm-shaded beaches as well as warm, pure seas and colourful coral reefs. You can explore the underwater world, and surfing and diving are available too. Away from the shore, wildlife is a big draw for Sri Lanka, and Yala National Park is one of the best places in the world to see wild animals including leopards (豹) and elephants.TasteSri Lanka is celebrated for its excellent food, with a particular emphasis on fresh fruit and vegetables on menus everywhere. Fish and seafood are a big part of the local diet.Did you know?Sri Lanka is known for its tea, but it is also the worlds largest producer and exporter of cinnamon(肉桂).1Which of the following is a cultural relic centre of Sri Lanka?A. Kandy.B. Anuradhapura.C. Polonnaruwa.D. Colombo.2If you want to know something about “Diwali”, youd better go there in _.A. September.B. October.C. November.D. May.3We learn from the passage that Sri Lanka _.A. is in the Pacific OceanB. is famous for its excellent foodC. is the worlds largest producer of teaD. has only flights to LondonNext autumn when you see wild geese (大雁) heading south for the winter flying in a V formation you might think about what scientists have discovered as to why they fly that way.As each bird flaps (拍打) its wings, it creates an uplift (上升力) for the bird immediately following. By flying in a V formation the whole group adds at least 71% greater flying range (航程) than if each bird flies on its own.People who share a common direction and sense of community can get where they are going more quickly and easily because they are traveling on the push of one another.When a wild goose falls out of the formation, it suddenly feels the drag and resistance (阻力) of trying to go alone and quickly tries to get back into the formation to take advantage of the lifting power of the bird in front. When the head goose gets tired, it flies back into the formation and another goose flies to the front. It is wise to take turns doing difficult jobs whether it be people or wild geese flying south.Wild geese honk (发出雁叫声) from behind to inspire those up front to keep up their speed. What can we learn from this?When a wild goose gets sick or wounded by gunshots, and falls out of the formation, two other geese will fall out with that goose and follow it down to lend help and protection. They will stay with the fallen goose until it is able to fly or until it dies, and only then will they go on with their own or with another formation to catch up with their group.4Wild geese fly in a V formation in order to _.A. protect themselves from dangerB. fly more quickly and easilyC. help the sick and woundedD. fly much higher in the sky5If a wild goose falls out of the V formation, _.A. the other geese will call it backB. the other geese will fly with itC. it will try to get back into the groupD. it will fall behind the whole group6What can we learn from the fifth paragraph?A. We should try to lead others to move forward.B. We should give people facing difficulties encouragement.C. We should believe in those who offer us help.D. We should care more about the old and sick.7When a wild goose becomes sick or is wounded, _.A. it will be left alone and will fall on the groundB. the whole group will stop flyingC. two other geese will stay with it to offer helpD. other geese will honk to give it encouragementTo the Editor,I have been reading your newspaper, the Hometown Gazette, for the past two years, ever since I moved to Smithville. We moved here from New York City, so I am accustomed to reading excellent newspapers such as The New York Times. In fact, we still have the Times delivered on Sundays. The entire family enjoys reading the recipes(食谱) in the newspaper, as well as the Styles section.The Times is great, but the Gazette is another story. Ive never read an article that doesnt contain at least three or four spelling or grammatical errors. For instance, in last weeks issue, you misspelled the word “secretary” used a singular verb with a plural noun, and used “its” as a possessive(所有格). And that was just in the lead story! In case you never went to elementary school, “its” means “it is”. Its not a possessive adjective!Its a pity that this tiny little hick (乡下) town has only one newspaper, because I d like to have an alternative to the rag (烂报) you publish. I find it hard to believe your news stories. If you can t spell correctly, how can you get your facts right？Ive been meaning to get this off my chest for some time. Please cancel my subscription(订阅). And buy yourself a dictionary.Sincerely,Jane Z. Jones8Which phrase from the passage shows the writer s prejudice(偏见)？A. get this off my chestB. tiny little hick townC. reading the recipes in the magazineD. three or four spelling or grammatical errors9The authors tone in this passage can best be described as _.A. happyB. humorousC. objective (客观的)D. angry10Which statement from the passage is a fact?A. We still have the Times delivered on Sundays.B. Its a pity this town has only one newspaper.C. The Times is great, but the Gazette is another story.D. You never went to elementary school.11Which statement of the following isNOT true according to the passage？A. The writer once lived in New York City, so he was used to reading newspapers like The New York Times.B. The entire family enjoys reading the Styles section in the local newspaper.C. The writer has long been planning to express his dissatisfaction with the local newspaper.D. It is obvious that the editors of the newspaper are not very careful about their work.When a rather dirty, poorly dressed person kneels at your feet and puts out his hands to beg for a few coins, do you hurry on, not knowing what to do, or do you feel sad and hurriedly hand over some money? What should our attitude to beggars be? There cant be no question that the world is full of terribly sad stories. It must be terrible to have no idea where our next meal is going to come from. It seems cruel not to give some money to beggars.Certainly, most of the worlds great religions（宗教）order us to be open-hearted and share what we have with those less fortunate than ourselves. But has the world changed? Maybe what was morally（道德方面） right in the old days, when one knew exactly who in the village had suffered misfortune and needed help, is no longer the best idea. Quite a few people will not give to beggars. Let us look at their arguments.First, some believe that many city beggars dress up on purpose to look pitiable and actually make a good living from begging. Giving to beggars only encourages this sort of evil（恶行）. Secondly，there is the worry that the money you give will be spent on beer, wine or drugs. Thirdly, there is the opinion that there is no real excuse for begging. One might be poor，but that is no reason for losing ones sense of pride and self-dependence.Related to this is the opinion that the problem should be dealt with by the government rather than ordinary people. Some people think beggars should go to the local government department and receive help.It is hard to come to any final conclusion；there are various cases and we must deal with them differently. A few coins can save a life in some situations, and even if the money is wasted, that does not take away the moral goodness (道德之善) of the giver.12What is mainly discussed in the passage?A. Moral deeds of people.B. Religious activities of the church.C. Moral goodness of the giver.D. Arguments on giving to beggars.13What can we infer from the sentence “But has the world changed?” in the second paragraph?A. People no longer know who suffers misfortune in the village.B. Some people will not do what was morally right in the past.C. We dont meet with those who need help any more.D. Now it is the governments duty to help the beggars.14Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?A. Some people dress up to pretend to be beggars.B. Some beggars use the money to buy drugs.C. Some beggars want money to help their children go to school.D. Some beggars have no excuse for begging.15In the last paragraph，the writer thinks that it is hard to come to any final conclusion，because _.A. the cases can be so differentB. there are so many beggarsC. there is so much money wastedD. there are so many different arguments评卷人得分二、完形填空I was on a bus one March evening.
