To get the most out of your visit, read our tips below:Visit at NightRiding up the Eiffel Tower at night and looking out over the streets of Paris, youll see why Paris is known as the “City of Light”. At street level, the spotlights on the top of the Tower zoom across t he Paris skyline, and the reflections of the Tower in the Seine are sights not to be missed.Purchase Your Ticket in Advance OnlineBypass the long ticket lines at the Eiffel Tower by purchasing your ticket online from the Eiffel Tower website. Youll pick a time to visit, and then select whether to print out the ticket or display it on your phone or iPad, which is a convenient option if you buy your ticket in Paris without easy access to a printer.Dont Bring Valuable Objects with YouBefore entering the Eiffel Tower, your bags will be examined by a security officer. If an item you are carrying sets off the metal detector, the officer will take you away from the line for further inspection. Weve stood in line for hours witnessing people who missed their chance to go up the Eiffel Tower.Have Drinks and Snacks at the Eiffel TowerIf youre like us, after an exciting trip to the Eiffel Tower, youll be ready to rest your legs and have a relaxing snack and a drink in a Parisian cafe. Across the Seine in the Trocadero area, there are many elegant cafes. The atmosphere is great, but the prices are in the stratosphere (最高水平). Actually, the perfect place for common visitors to eat and drink is on the Eiffel Tower itself.21. Why does the author suggest visiting the Tower at night?A.

The goal was to communicate by radio in clear and simple English with people whose native language is not English. Experts said the goal was admirable, but the method would not work. They were proved wrong. The Special English programs quickly became some of the most popular on VOA. And they still are.Forty years later, Special English continues to communicate with people who are not fluent in English. But during the years its role has expanded. It also helps people learn American English. And it provides listeners, even those who are native English speakers, with information they cannot find elsewhere.Today, Special English broadcasts around the world seven days a week, five times a day. Each half-hour broadcast begins with ten minutes of the latest news followed by 20 minutes of feature programming. There is a different short feature every weekday about science, development, agriculture and environment, and on the weekend, about news events and American idioms.Three elements make Special English unique. It has a limited vocabulary of 1500 words. Most are simple words that describe objects, actions or emotions. Some are more difficult. They are used for reporting world events and describing discoveries in medicine and science. Special English is written in short, simple sentences that contain only one idea. No idioms are used. And Special English is spoken at a slower pace, about two-thirds the speed of Standard English. This helps people learning English hear each word clearly. It also helps people who are English speakers understand complex subjects.Through the years, Special English has become a very popular tool for teaching English, even though it was not designed as teaching program. It succeeds in helping people learn English in a non-traditional way. Individuals record the programs and play them over and over to practice their listening skills. In countries around the world, English teachers assign Special English to their students. They praise it for improving their students ability to understand American English and for the content of the programs. Universities and private companies in many countries produce packages of Special English materials for student use.24. At the beginning, Special English program was .A. doubted by some professionals B. rejected by native peopleC. well received D. intended for teaching English25. What kind of English is spoken on Special English?A. British English B. Not certainC. Both British and American English D. American English26. Which of the following are the elements that make Special English unique?a. limited vocabulary b. short simple sentencesc. good communication method d. slow speed e. interesting feature programmingA. a, c, d B. a, b, dC. b, d, e D. a, b, c27. From the last paragraph we can infer that .A. listening to Special English can be a students homeworkB. listening to Special English can improve the content of the programC. some student record the Special English material for saleD. learning English from VOA is a traditional way for English learnerCWhen I was in middle school, a poisonous spider bit my right hand. I ran to my mom for help but instead of taking me to a doctor, my mom set my hand on fire. After wrapping my hand with several layers of cotton, then soaking it in wine, she put a chopstick into my mouth, and ignited the cotton. Heat quickly penetrated the cotton and began to roast my hand. The pain made me want to scream, but the chopstick prevented it. All I could do was watch my hand burn one minute, then two minutes until mom put out the fire.You see, the part of China I grew up in was a rural village, and at that time preindustrial. When I was born, my village had no cars, no telephones, no electricity, and even no running water. And we certainly didnt have access to modern medical resources. There was no doctor my mother could bring me to see about my spider bite.For those who study biology, you may have grasped the science behind my moms cure: heat deactivates(使失去活性) proteins, and a spiders venom (毒液) is simply a form of protein. Its cool how that folk remedy actually incorporates basic biochemistry, isnt it? But I am a PhD student in biochemistry at Harvard, I now know that better, less painful and less risky treatments existed. So I cant help but ask myself why I didnt receive one at the time.Fifteen years have passed since that incident I am happy to report that my hand is fine. But this question lingers, and I continue to be troubled by it. We have learned to edit the human genome(基因组) and unlock many secrets of how cancer progresses. We can control neuronal activity literally with the switch of a light. Each year brings more advances in biomedical researchexciting, transformative accomplishments. Yet, despite the knowledge we have accumulated, we haven t been so successful in distributing it to where its needed most. According to the World Bank, twelve percent of the worlds population lives on less than $ 2 a day. Malnutrition kills more than 3 million children annually. Three hundred million people are suffering malaria globally. All over the world, we constantly see these problems of poverty, illness, and lack of resources preventing the flow of scientific information. Life-saving knowledge we take for granted in the modern world is often unavailable in these underdeveloped regions. And in far too many places, people are still essentially trying to cure a spider bite with fire.28. How did the authors mom cure him of the spiders bite?A. She sent him to the nearby hospital immediately.B. She asked the neighbors for help.C. She wrapped the wound with cotton and burnt it.D. She let him drink some wine.29. What was NOT the authors hometown like?A. It was a backward village in China.B. It was an industrial rural village.C. It had no running water, telephones or cars.D. People there had no access to modern medical care.30. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “incorporates” in Paragraph 3?A. includes B. resistsC. inspires D. invents31. What does the author want to do most?A. Change the unequal distribution of scientific knowledge.B. Discover more secrets to cancer.C. Bring more advances in biochemistry.D. Invent better and less painful treatments.DKids will often ignore your requests for them to shut off the TV，start their chores(杂事)，or do their homework as a way to avoid following your directions. Before you know it，you ve started to sound like a broken record as you repeatedly ask them to do their assignments, clean their rooms, or take out the trash. Rather than saying ，“Do your chores now.” You ll be more effective if you set a target time for when the chores have to be completed. So instead of arguing about starting chores，just say，“If chores arent done by 4 pm.，here are the consequences.” Then its up to your child to complete the chores. Put the ball back in their court. Don t argue or fight with them，just say，“Thats the way its going to be.” It shouldnt be punitive(惩罚性的)as much as it should be persuasive. “If your chores arent done by 4 p.m，then no video game time until chores are done. And if finishing those chores runs into homework time，thats going to be your loss.” On the other hand，when dealing with homework，keep it very simple. Have a time when homework starts，and at that time，all electronics go off and do not go back on until you see that their homework is done. If your kids say they have no homework，then they should use the time to study or read. Either way，there should be a time set aside when the electronics are off.When a kid wears his iPod or headphones when youre trying to talk to him，make no bones about it；he is not ignoring you，he is disrespecting you. At that point，everything else should stop until he takes the earplugs out of his ears. Dont try to communicate with him when hes wearing headphoneseven if he tells you he can hear you. Wearing them while youre talking to him is a sign of disrespect. Parents should be very tough about this kind of thing. Remember，mutual respect becomes more important as children mature.32According to the passage，it seldom happens that _.Akids turn a deaf ear to their parents requestsBparents directions sound like a broken recordCchildren are ready to follow their parents directionsDparents are unaware of what they are repeating to their kids33Parents will be able to deal with their children more effectively if they _.Aavoid direct ways of punishmentBmake them do things at their requestCargue and fight with their childrenDallow their children to behave in their own way34When the kid is doing his homework，parents _.Ashould provide him with a good learning environmentBcan do whatever they likeCcan stay aside watching TVDmust switch off the power35It can be inferred from the passage that _.Aparents should take off his headphones when trying to have a talk with their childBit will make no difference that a kid is wearing his earplugs while talking to his parentsCparents shouldnt give in to their kid when he shows no sign of respectDkids purposely talking to their parents with iPod gives them a sense of power and control.第二节（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。If you want to keep fit, please refer to the following：Move MoreMake it a daily to find ways to move your body. 36 Climb stairs instead of taking the elevator. Walk your dog; play with your kids. It doesnt have to be an hour in the gym or a 45minute dance class. But thats great when youre up to it. At the same time, move more.Quit SmokingEver since 1960 when it was announced that smoking was harmful to health, Americans have been reducing their use of tobacco products. Just recently, weve seen more and more teens smoking. Could it be the Hollywood influence? 37 Take care! Warn your children against smoking.38While recent studies show a glass of wine or one drink a day can help protect against heart disease, more than that can cause other health problems such as liver and kidney(肝肾) disease and cancer.Reduce StressEasier said than done, stress comes in many ways. 39 Spend 30 minutes a day doing something you like such as walk on the beach or in a park, read a good book, visit a friend, listen to relaxed music and watch a funny movie.Protect Yourself from PollutionIf you cant live in a smogfree environment, at least avoid smokefilled rooms. 40 Exercise indoors in air conditioning when air quality is good.A. Avoid Excessive DrinkingBThere are many things you can do to move your arms and legs.CThink carefully about what you will do.DExercise outside when the smog rating is low.EIt seems that the stars in every movie smoke cigarettes.FKeep a Positive Mental OutlookGSome techniques given by experts are thought to be positive thoughts.第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填人空白处的最佳选项。There was a businessman who was deep in debt and could see no way out.He sat on the park bench, head in hands,_41_if anything could save his company from bankruptcy.Suddenly an old man appeared before him. “I can see that something is 42 you.” he said.After listening to the executive, the old man said: “I believe I can help you.”He asked the man his name, wrote out a 43 , and pushed it into his hand saying: “Take this money.
