Selling the MagazinBThere is no better way to enjoy Scottish traditions than going fishing and tasting a little bit of whisky(威士忌) at a quiet place like the Inverlochy Castle. When Queen Victoria visited the castle in 1873, she wrote in her diary，“I never saw a lovelier spot.”Scotland is not easily defined. In certain moments, this quiet land of lakes and grasses and mountains changes before your very eyes.When evening gently sweeps the hillside into orange light, the rivers, teeming with fish, can turn into streams of gold. As you settle down with just a fishing pole and a basket on the bank of River Orchy, near the Inverlochy Castle, any frustration will float away as gently as the circling water. Its just you and purple, pink, white flowers, seeking a perfect harmony. If you are a new comer to fishing, learning the basics from a fishing guide may leave you with a lifetimes fun. For many, fishing is more than a sport; it is an art.Scotland offers interesting place where you can rest after a long days fishing. Set against a wild mountain and hidden behind woodland, the beautiful Inverlochy Castle Hotel below the Nevis is a perfect place to see the beauty of Scotlands mountains. Ben Nevis is the highest of all British mountains, and reaching its 1,342metre top is a challenge. But its not just what goes up matters; what comes down is unique. More than 900 metres high, on the mountains north face, lies an allimportant source of pure water. Its name comes from the Gaelic(盖尔特) language “usqueb” or “water of life”; And it is the single most important ingredient in Scotlands bestknown drink: whisky.4What does the story of Queen Victoria show?A. The Queen is rich in tour experience.B. The year of 1873 is special for the Queen.C. Tasting whisky is better than going fishing.D. The castles a good place to go in Scotland.5How is Paragraph 2 mainly developed?A. By making comparisons. B. By following time order.B. By analyzing causes. D. By giving descriptions.6What is Ben Nevis specially noted for?A. The challenge up to its top. B. The water from the mountain.B. The beauty of its surroundings. D. The Inverlochy Castle Hotel.7What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To introduce Scottish traditions to tourists.B. To describe the pleasures of life in Scotland.C. To show the attractions of Scotland to readers.D. To explore geographical characteristics of Scotland.CImagine having an idea, drawing it on paper, bringing it to a store and seeing it turned into a physical object. This is now possible with the help of 3D printers. Such machines were once used just by universities and big companies, but now, stores with 3D printing services are appearing around the United States.Bryan Jaycox and his wife opened The Build Shop LLC in Los Angeles two years ago. The store is filled with tools like a laser cutter, an industrial sewing machine and 3D printers. The Jaycoxs offer 3D printing classes and services for anyone who is interested.“I think 3D printing is going to be huge. Its going to have a huge effect on society as a whole.”One of the students in a recent class was KiChong Tran. He plans to open a 3D printing business in Cambodia.3D printing services are becoming available for American consumers. The UPS Store is a nationwide retailer(零售商) that provides shipping, copying and other services. The UPS Store recently put 3D printers in three of its independentlyowned stores.Burke Jones owns one of the stores in San Diego.“The demand has been amazing.Its been much more than I would have imagined.”The UPS Store plans to add 3D printers in three more stores. At The UPS Store，the cost of the object depends on the amount of materials used. The store charges up to $95 an hour to design the object with computer software that creates a digital file to guide the printer.Mr. Jaycox predicts that within five years, 3D printing technology could become more popular. But KiChong Tran says even current technology can make a difference in a developing country like Cambodia.“With 3D printing, you can give them tools; you put it in their hands so they are responsible more for their own development and they learn skills beyond just learning English and becoming a tour guide or something like that or working at a bank; you can actually create things that give value to the world.”He says its not just in Cambodia but anywhere where there is a 3D printer that it can turn a good idea into reality.8The purpose of the passage is to _.A. introduce a new technique3D printingB. attract consumers to buy 3D printersC. explain the importance of 3D printingD. describe the rapid development of technology9The Build Shop LLC is a store _.A. promoting 3D printers B. offering 3D printing classes and servicesC. selling sewing machines D. known for tools like laser cutters10At the UPS Store，the price of a 3D object depends on _.A. the person who makes it B.the labor service it needs C. the size of the object D. the materials to make it and time to design it11The attitude of KiChong Tran towards the development of 3D printing technology is _.A. positive B. critical C. uncertain D. objective DChina is fully prepared to export a full supply chain of highspeed railway technology, according to industry experts.China Railway Corp, the national rail operator, said exports of railway equipment and railway construction projects are proceeding well, and breakthroughs are being made in a number of projects overseas.Among the projects, the first fullchain commission, the Jakarta to Bandung highspeed railway in Indonesia，which includes technology, design, construction, equipment manufacture, supply of resources, operations management and staff training, has been granted a construction permit and work is proceeding smoothly.“Chinas railways have established a comprehensive and advanced technology system, which is able to provide overseas customers with solutions from many different perspectives, including financing, construction，operations, and research and development.” said Yang Zhongmin, the CRCs deputy chief engineer, who added that Chinas railway system is competitive in terms of technology and economy of use. According to Yang, the nations railway equipment and infrastructure(基础设施) service businesses have entered markets in Asia，Europe，North America and Africa.Last year, Joko Widodo, president of Indonesia, and Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak, rode Chinesemade bullet trains.Yang Hao, a professor of rail transportation management at Beijing Jiaotong University, said China has a major advantage in that it is able to export a full range of railway technology. “For example, it is inconvenient to import the technology for the signaling system from one country and civil engineering technology from another.”12Which of the following may be the best title of the passage?A.

So I attempt 42 (translate) the holiday through things they were familiar with. I described the roast turkey as something similar 43 Beijing duck. I compared the annual Thanksgiving show to the 44 (year) Spring Festival Gala on Chinese New Years Eve. And I characterized 45 entire celebration as American version of Winter Solstice in China. Yet as much as my in-laws 46 (nod) and smiled, I recognized that even these explanations were a poor substitute. No words could fully describe the Thanksgiving celebrations I had known in the U.S. This 47 (be) the kind of disappointment you face in cross-cultural communication. Despite all the differences, we can still sit down together and have heart- to- heart 48 (discussion) about each others traditions.

I learned this from one of my experience.I was not chosen as member of the volleyball team of our school. Because of this, I decided to give up play volleyball. Luckily, my best friend stopped me but pointed out that it was my laziness and poor preparation which led to my failure. After that, I practiced playing volleyball on every day. When another chance of trying out arrived, I was full prepared and tried my best.
