great things about taking pictures at an event or a party is that it gives you an excuse to get in touch with the person later. everybody loves seeing pictures of themselves, and its very easy after

important benefit: you are much easier to approach(接近) when you are alone. people may be afraid of disturbing you or being rude if you talk with someone else. bring a book or newspaper to read. plus,

speaking club), a class for work, etc. choose a new hobby or continue an old one!these are all great places to meet new people, primarily because you will be made to see the same people over and over

york city is turning 100 years old. a year-long celebration is planned for grand central terminal, which is usually called grand central station, the sixth most-visited place in the world.the huge building has not changed much since it opened in february, 1913. about 750,000 people pass through grand central every day. some just come to look at it, others to visit the stores. but most are there to catch the trains that enter and leave from the station. it is the largest train station in the world. there are 67 train tracks, all of them underground.the main part of the building has large, arched windows, a jeweled four-sided clock and ticket windows. grand central has been seen in many movies through the years. dan brucker is with the new york transit authority, which operates the station. dan brucker has worked for the transit authority at grand central for 30 years. in all those years, he has not lost his interest in the building.justin ferate, a historian, has been giving tours of grand central station for 30 years. he says the station was designed to make travel a pleasure.“why people dont run into each other in grand central is simple: each block of stone in grand central is the length of your leg. each block of stone in grand central is the length of your arm. each block of stone is a different color, so its a checkerboard, based on you.” a ten-year-long fight against plans to build a huge office building over grand central in 1968 helped create the modern preservation（保护） movement. now, no one would think of changing the beauty of the station.31. how long

appear in a variety of colors despite(尽管) their name. in the eastern part, most of these bears have shiny black fur, but in the west they grow brown, red, or even yellow coats. to the north, the black bear is actually gray or white in color. even in the same litter(胎), both brown and black furred bears may be born. black bears are the smallest of all american bears, ranging in length from five to six feet, weighing from three hundred to five hundred pounds. their eyes and ears are small and their eyesight and hearing are not as good as their sense of smell. like all bears, the black bear is timid and rarely dangerous, but if attacked, most can climb trees or cover ground at great speed. when angry or frightened, they are formidable(可怕的) enemies. black bears feed on leaves, roots, fruit, insects, fish, and even larger animals. one of the most interesting characteristics of bears, including the black bear, is their winter sleep. unlike squirrels and many other woodland animals, bears do not actually sleep through the winter months. although the bear does not eat during the winter months, sustaining(维持) itself from body fat, its temperature remains almost normal, and it breathes regularly four or five times per minute. most black bears live alone, except during the mating(交配) season. they prefer to live in caves. baby black bears are born in january or february after a gestation(怀孕) period of six to nine months, and they stay with their mother until they are fully grown or about one and a half years old. black bears can live as long as thirty years in the wild, and even longer in some nature reserves. 36. american black bears may have _ colours according to the passage.a. four b. five c. six d. seven 37. black bears have a good sense of _.a. hearing b. smell c.

are also enjoyed by the local people of a country. if tourists create too much traffic, the local people become unhappy. they begin to dislike tourists and to treat them impolitely. they forget how much tourism can help the countrys economy(经济). it is important to think about the people of a destination country and how tourism affects them. tourism should help a country keep the customs and beauty that attract tourists. tourism should also advance(推进) the well-being (health and happiness) of local people.too much tourism can be a problem. if tourism grows too quickly, people must leave other jobs to work in the tourism industry. this means that other parts of the countrys economy can suffer.on the other hand, if there is not enough tourism, people can lose jobs. businesses can also lose money. it costs a lot of money to build large hotels, airports, air terminals, first-class roads and other support facilities needed by tourist attractions. for example, a major international-class tourism hotel can cost as much as 50 thousand dollars per room to build. if this room is not used most of the time, the owners of the hotel will lose money.building a hotel is just a beginning. there must be many support facilities as well, including roads to get to the hotel, electricity, sewers to handle waste, and water. all of these support facilities cost money. if they are not used because there are not enough tourists, jobs and money are lost.41. what is probably the reason if local people dislike tourists?a. tourists come to enjoy the customs and beauty.b. local people lose jobs. c. a lot of hotels are built. d. too many tourists cause traffic problems.42.what can we do to solve the problems caused by tourism?a. make plans properly. b. help the countrys economy.c. build fewer hotels. d. advance the well-being of local people. 43. if tourism grows too quickly, _.a. businesses will lose money b. other parts of the countrys economy will make more money c. local people will be happierd. more local people will work for tourists. 44. support facilities needed by tourist attractions includes _.public places hotels airports roads electricity sewers a. b. c. d. 45. if the writer wants to add paragraph 5 to the passage, he may tell us _.a. whether people need to build more hotels b. whether people need to plan tourism properly c. how to deal with the problems above d. how to prevent tourism growing too quickly 第ii 卷 非选择题 （共51分）四、填空（共16小题；每小题1分，满分16分）a)根据括号中所给的汉语写出英文单词，使句子意思完整正确。46. nowadays, few young people want to buy _(收音机). they can use their
