While that hasnt necessarily been a good thing for the local economy, it has kept homes extremely affordable.Grand Rapids, Mich.As many once-booming midwestern cities, Grand Rapids was built up during an era of prosperity and high population growth. Now its left with a lot of fine, old houses that are cheap. Meanwhile, the citys economic base, which once relied heavily on the furniture-making industry, has become more diversified. Health care is now a driving force in the local economy.Syracuse, N.Y.Teachers and bank clerks far outnumber factory workers in this place these days. This has helped push the areas median income to a level that is slightly higher than the national average.All of those jobs are not doing much to attract new residents, however. In fact, the metro area has seen less than a 2% increase in population since 2000, compared with nearly 10% nationally. As a result, theres very little competition for housing.Akron, OhioIn the 20th century, Akrons economy grew with the auto industry. With factory jobs harder to come by, the Akron metro area has become a slow growth zone. The population has only increased by less than 7% since 1990, a period when the U.S. population increased by about 26%.56. What is the main purpose of the author in writing the passage?A. To persuade people to seek employment in these cities.B. To introduce the economic conditions of some American cities.C. To show that home prices in most American cities are affordable.D. To supply information on houses people can afford to buy.57. Jenny, a new graduate majoring in medicine would be advised to live in _.A. DaytonB. Grand RapidsC. SyracuseD. AkronBThe thing that sets children apart from adults is not their ignorance, nor their lack of skills. Rather, its their enormous capability for joy. A friend told me a story. One day, when she went to get his 6-year-old son from soccer practice, her kid greeted her with舒中高二統(tǒng)考英語(yǔ) 第3頁(yè) (共10頁(yè)) a sad face. The teacher had criticized him for not focusing on his soccer drills. The little boy walked out of the school with his head and shoulders hanging down. He seemed wrapped in sadness. But before reaching the car door, he suddenly stopped, crouching(蹲伏)down to look at something on the sidewalk. “Mom, come here! This is the strangest bug Ive ever seen. It has ,like, a million legs. Its amazing!”The little face was overflowing with indescribable excitementNowadays, however, when we walk into a classroom, especially in a high school, well be choked by towering books and papers, and hiding behind them are a group of motionless creatures, pens in hand, minds dry, just as the hollow men portrayed by T. S. Eliot. Their pursuit of joy has given way to their hunger for grades. Laughter and happiness are a distant memory for themAlthough joy is an unaffordable luxury in todays increasingly fierce competition, administrators and teachers need a mindset shift from crushing students with assignments to getting them to take pleasure in productive activities which develop their important qualities, like perseverance and obligation. The assumption that pleasure is the enemy of competence and responsibility makes no sense educationallyAdults tend to talk about learning as if it were medicine: unpleasant, but necessary and good for you. Why not think of learning as if it were foodsomething so valuable to humans that they want to experience it as a pleasure?58What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 2? A. Summarize the previous paragraph B. Provide some advice for the readersC. Introduce the main topic for discussionD. Clarify some puzzling questions59What does the text suggest administrators and teachers do?A. Stop giving students homeworkB. Involve students in meaningful activitiesC. Supply students with luxuriesD. Arouse studentsfond memories60What is the text mainly about?A. Joy is the spokesman for learningB. Pleasure is the enemy of progressC. Education is the paradise for parentsD. Exams are a never-ending warCWhen youre abroad, trying to find out who to tip is never straightforward and neither is trying to work out the exact number. To make things even more complicated, the rules for tipping vary greatly from country to country. Also, within each country the rules can change, so what was appropriate last time you visited your favourite country may be completely inappropriate the next time you go. However, here are some general guidelines which might help you on your journeys.You face your first dilemma as soon as you land at the airport the taxi ride. Taxi drivers generally do expect tips, but rather than there being an exact amount, people round up the fare or just tell the driver to keep the change. Your next encounter is with the hotel porter and you know hes expecting a tip, but the problem is trying to figure out how much. It seems that in many countries round the world $1 per bag would be an appropriate amount. Then, of course, you have to eat. In some countries such Ireland, Brazil, Poland and Portugal, the customary tip in restaurants is 10-15% unless a service charge is included, so the first rule of thumb is always check the bill. In other countries such as France, Italy, Germany, Australia and Spain, where a 10-15% service charge is either very common or compulsory, you may want to leave an additional tip if you think the service was particularly good, but it certainly isnt obligatory. However, in some countries it may seem strange if you do leave a tip. In Japan, for example, the waitress might be insulted if you tipped her. In Thailand, if you left a tip, the restaurant staff probably wouldnt be offended, but you might be pursued down the street by someone thinking youd forgotten to take your change. In New Zealand, although its unlikely anyone would chase after you, youd definitely get some odd looks if you left a trip.And your problem with tipping isnt over when you leave the restaurant. Next you discover the tour guide, the hairdresser and the toilet attendant are all expecting a tip as well, but again, how much? Perhaps the best option in these cases is to ask the local people what is acceptable or observe what others do. Of course, you could simply play safe and tip everyone you meet. 61. The word “dilemma” (in paragraph 2) is closest in meaning to _.A. a difficult situation B. an early opportunity C. a high expectation D. an exact explanation62. What does the writer suggest tourists do in countries like Brazil?A. Never tip waiters or waitresses because they may be offended.B. Play safe and leave a tip about 12% of the bill after each meal.C. Make sure whether a service charge is included in the bill before giving tips.D. Always check whether you have kept all your change before leaving the restaurant.63. People neednt tip waiters in _.A. Ireland and France B. Germany and Japan C. Poland and Italy D. Thailand and New Zealand64. What is the passage mainly about?A. Advantages of tipping. B. Rules of tipping.C. Possible origins of tipping. D. Different opinions on tipping.DI have happy memories of trips to Europe, but my trip to Romania (羅馬尼亞) was unique. When I was there as recalled, it was like being in a “James Bond” movie. My husband was born there, but his family sent him to study in Italy. Before he left, his mother told him, “As long as I write in pencil, dont come back. When I write to you in pen, its safe to return.” But she never wrote in pen.My husband lived a poor life in Italy. He applied to go to America, but there was a limit in number and he was rejected. He was accepted by Canada, though, and from Calgary he jumped onto a train to San Francisco. There he stayed illegally. He became a US citizen when we got married. By then he was a charming European with a Romanian accent and the manners of a prince.With seven years experience in America, a US passport, and two children later, he felt it was safe to visit Romania. He hadnt seen his mother, two sisters, and two brothers since he was sixteen. We flew to Munich, Germany; picked up the German-made car we had purchased in the States; and drove to Romania via Austria and Hungary. When we reached Bucharest, the capital city of Romania, his family was waiting outside his sisters house to greet us. After a long time of hugging, kissing, and crying, his family also hugged me, the American wife with two young children. They had great interest in me. Few Americans visited Romania at that time, and most Romanians had little chance to travel. I had brought an English-Romanian dictionary with me and managed to communicate, using only nouns, with no verbs. My Romanian improved, and the familys stock of English words increased, but mostly I spoke in broken, New York-accented Romanian. The sisters loved their gifts of skirts an
