1.背景解读
A
Mt. Qomolangma was first conquered (征服)in 1953, when Sir Edmund Hillary and Sherpa Tenzing, his guide, became the climbers to reach the top. More than 750 times have people tried to conquer the mountain, but not all successful, yet every climber knows the dangers. This doesn’t stop teams of climbers arriving at the base camp every year with the courage of reaching the top.
Two such climbers, and two unlucky ones are Scott Fischer and Rob Hall. Fischer, an American guide with much experience, was lost in a terrible storm which swept across the mountain. A rescue team found him and his friend, but didn't manage to bring Fischer to safety in the terrible conditions because he was dying. New Zealander RobHall, another experienced climber and guide, was lost near the top. These two men had something in common: they were both guides and always took a "tour" of less experienced climbers up the mountain.
There is a lot that can go wrong in an action to reach the top of Mt. Qomolangma; a sudden change in weather conditions or a wrong turning. Planes will only be sent to rescue if they have been paid for in advance. In spite of all these there is a business in leading guided tours to the top . Wealthy mountain climbers can now pay 64, 000 or more to achieve their aim.
Many people wonder how guides can hope to look after their inexperienced climbers when they fail to keep themselves alive. Steve Bell, also a guide who has recently led a team to Mt Qomolangma, believed that they are safer than others, because the guide can ask a weak climber to turn back at any point if he feels that climber is a danger to the team.
Whether these expeditions(远征)are safe or not, many climbers feel they have turned Mt. Qomolangma into a business, like a park for the very rich people. One truth, however, will always remain: it doesn't matter how much money you have, if you make a mistake on Mt. Qomolangma, the possible result will be death.
根据短文内容判断正误
( ) (1) Up to now the climbers have conquered the mountain around 750 times
( ) (2) In the second paragraph the underlined word "tour" refers to "climb ". ( ) (3) Planes will be sent to rescue climbers in danger without rescue prepaid
( ) (4) According to Bell, a good guide had to make a choice at times to let the strong teammates remain on the way to the top.
( ) (5)Although those who can afford to climb Mt. Qomolangma are very rich, yet the mountain treats them as common life , according to the writer at the end of the passage.

Rise of the young Chinese backpacker
Have you ever considered backpacking? What are the difficulties that backpackers may have to deal with?
A spirit of adventure, curiosity (好奇心) about different cultures (文化)and the desire for a challenge can be found in young people everywhere. More and more students in China are backpacking around the country.
According to the China Youth Travel Service, Hainan, Dalian, Zhangjiajie and Qingdao were among the most popular spots for young Chinese backpackers last year. Backpacking allows the traveller a greater sense of independence.
"I can no longer put up with the instructions of a tourist guide," said Huang Ye, a 19-year-old college student in Beijing. "They are always driving you to places that you do not want to go to and trying to make you buy local souvenirs (纪念品)."
Huang likes to travel as a backpacker. She preferred an independent trip that she took with two friends to Jiuzhaigou in Sichuan Province. There, they chose which scenic spots to visit and avoided the masses of (大量的) tourists.
Backpackers see the difficulties of such travel as a challenge. Living on bread and water for days on end, wearing the same clothes over and over again and carrying a heavy bag on their backs while climbing a mountain are all character-building experiences. But perhaps the greatest challenge that a backpacker faces is not a physical one, but mental. They may face loneliness if they travel alone.
Chen Xuewei, 21, suffered when he took off around China last year. "I felt very lonely at the beginning of my journey. A walkman didn't make me feel better, but rather heightened (加重) the sense of loneliness I felt. I even called up my friends to tell them that I wanted to give up and go back to Beijing," he recalled (回忆). But he kept going. He started to make friends and appreciate the local customs. He took lots of photos to record his trip and now he is glad he stuck it out.
Backpackers generally find themselves to be maturer (成熟的) after their experiences. Their travel logs (旅行日志) track their development as people."When I feel frustrated, I read my travel log again," said Tang Weifeng, a postgraduate at Peking University. "By reading it, I get a sense that I am better off now than I was when I wrote those words by the light of a torch (手电) in a hot tent.”

Bali（巴厘岛） is a tiny island that today is part of Indonesia. It is a pretty island that has many mountains and a pleasant climate. For a long time, Bali was cut off from much of the world.
The people of Bali were happy and gay and had a peaceful life. They were not allowed to fight. At one time there had been terrible wars on Bali. Then the people decided it was wrong to fight or have wars. They made rules to keep apart those people who wanted to fight.
Bali was divided into seven small kingdoms. The land around each kingdom was kept empty, and no one lived there. Since the kingdoms did not share the same borders, the people could not fight about them.
On Bali, even children were not allowed to fight. If two children started a fight over a toy, someone separated them. When two boys argued, they would agree not to speak to each other. Sometimes they did not talk together for months. This gave the boys a chance to forget their anger.
Families who were angry with each other also promised not to speak. Their promise was written down, and the whole village knew about it. If they broke their promise, they had to offer gifts to their gods.
根据短文回答下列问题
(1) Which continent does the island of Bali belong to

(3) How did the people of Bali prevent fighting from breaking out?
(4) When children started a fight, what will happen to them ?

A
Americans can travel almost anywhere they choose. But to protect its people, the government lists a few dangerous places where Americans cannot go. These places are unfriendly countries or countries at war. There, the travellers might not be safe. These countries are listed in a small book called a passport(护照).
This passport is a government request for the safety of its travelling people. It is also a government’s pledge(保证) that the people will obey the rules of the host country(东道国).
To receive a passport from the government, a traveller must prove(证明) that he is an American citizen(公民). An American can not go overseas(外国) without a passport. Only certain close countries such as Canada and Mexico do not ask for passports.
Pasted inside the passport is the traveller’s picture. Children travelling with their parents are included in one parent’s book.
Thousands of people from the United States visit other countries every year. An American traveller might carry plane tickets, money, clothing and many other things. But the most important that he carries in another country is his passport.
1. A passport is not needed when an American goes to __________.
A. foreign countries
B. dangerous areas
C. Canada or Mexico
D. countries overseas
2. From the passage we can see that __________.
A. children can’t travel to foreign countries
B. Americans like to travel
C. a traveller is not safe in most countries
D. Americans like to travel to close countries
3. Why does a traveller need a passport?
A. He needs something more to carry when he travels.
B. It helps the country to protect the people.
C. He needs to have his picture taken more often.
D. It helps the traveller to know where he will go.
4. Which statement does the passage lead you to believe?
A. People should take care of their passports.
B. It is not important to have a passport to travel.
C. Children are never included in a passport.
D. When you are in another country, money is more important than a passport.
5. Which of the following is true?
A. When Americans are travelling in another country, they must obey the rules of the country.
B. The American government sometimes allow its people to travel to dangerous places.
C. A passport is needed wherever an American is travelling.
D. Everyone who lives in the United States can get a passport from the American government.

I have a rule for travel: Never carry a map. I prefer to ask for directions(方向).
Foreign visitors are often puzzled in Japan because most streets there don’t have names. In Japan, people use landmarks in their directions instead of street names. For example, the Japanese will say to travelers, “Go straight down to the corner. Turn left at the big hotel and go pass a fruit market. The post office is across from the bus stop.”
In the countryside of the American Midwest, usually there are not many landmarks. There are no mountains, so the land is very flat(平坦的). In many places there are no towns or buildings within miles. Instead of landmarks, people will tell you directions and distance. In Kansas or Iowa, for example, people will say, “Go north two miles. Turn east, and then go another mile.”
People in Los Angeles, California, have no idea of distance on the map: They measure(测量) distance by means of time, not miles. “How far away is the post office?” you ask. “Oh,” they answer, “It’s about five minutes from here.” you say, “Yes, but how many miles away is it?” They don’t know.
People in Greece sometimes do not even try to give directions because visitors seldom(很少) understand the Greek language. Instead of giving you the direction, a Greek will often say, “Follow me.” Then he’ll lead you through the streets of the city to the post office.
Sometimes a person doesn’t know the answer to your question. What happens in this situation(情形)? A New Yorker might say, “Sorry, I have no idea.”But in Yucatan, Mexico, no one answers, “I don’t know.”People in Yucatan think that “I don’t know” is impolite. They usually give an answer, often a wrong one. A visitor can get very, very lost in Yucatan!
One thing will help you everywhere-in Japan, in the United States. In Greece, in Mexico, or in any other place. You might not understand a person’s words, by maybe you can understand his body language. He or she will usually turn and then point in the correct direction. Go in that direction, and you may find the post office!
1. The passage mainly tells us that __________.
A. never carry a map for travel

Travel
Travel is a very good activity. When you’re fed up with your work or study, and when you’re free, you can go to a beautiful place to enjoy the beauty of nature. You can breathe fresh air and make some friends.
But sometimes, it is not a good thing. The weather often changes. You may be caught in the rain and may catch a cold while traveling.
Therefore, you should prepare yourself carefully before the trip. You’d better find a companion so that you can help each other and may avoid accidents.
