It is also held as a numerous tourist destination due to the presence of the Eiffel‎ ‎Tower and several other historical buildings, museums and churches.‎ Rome A talk about Europe is incomplete without a mention of Rome. Held as a place where one of the oldest civilizations of the world prospered (繁荣), Rome is where you’d get to see numerous castles, palaces, ancient buildings, fountains, squares and beautiful parks. Several tourists come here especially to have a look at the Renaissance architecture（文艺复兴时期建筑） that the buildings of this city boast.‎ Barcelona Barcelona‎, a major city in Spain, is regarded among the 10 best beach cities of the world. The city’s coastline has clear waters and a mild climate which makes it a favorite destination among sun bathers. Besides that, Barcelona has a glorious ‎ past to show off. You must wander through its busy streets and take a look at the historic buildings, castles, churches, parks and museums.‎ Vienna If you are a music lover and a steady devotee of Beethoven or Mozart, then a visit to Vienna is like going on a pilgrimage (朝圣). This is because Vienna is the birthplace of these artists. You’d find their homes there and also their memorial graves. Besides that, Vienna is known for castles, palaces, museums and historic monuments. If you are a devoted art lover, Vienna is the place for you. It has nearly a hundred museums devoted to art!‎ ‎21. Which place has the most tourists in the world according to the passage?‎ A. Vienna B. Barcelona C. Rome D. Paris ‎22. In Rome and Barcelona you can enjoy__________.‎ A. the birthplace of artists B. castles C. fountains D. The Eiffel‎ ‎Tower ‎ ‎23. What is the passage mainly about? ‎ A. Some ancient architecture in Europe. B. Some best places people can visit in Europe.‎ C. Some best attractions people can enjoy in Paris. D. Some famous musicians and their famous works.‎ B Birthdays are especially important to the very young and the very old. On their birthdays, people receive birthday cards and birthday presents from their family and friends. Children’s cards often have a large number on them showing how old they are. Cards for adults have pictures of flowers or scenery, or humorous or rude cartoons. Inside there is usually a simple greeting, such as “Happy Birthday” or “Many Happy Returns of the Day.”‎ In the US, children who have their birthdays during the school year take a cake to school and have a small party with their classmates. In Britain, children sometimes get Bumped (lifted off the ground horizontally and put down again sharply)‎ ‎ by their friends.‎ In the US, the 16th birthday is called sweet 16. It is the age at which a person can get a US driver’s license, and some wealthier parents give their children a car as a present. At 18, in Britain and in the US, young people become adults and many have a big party. In most parts of the US, 21 is the age at which people can drink alcohol legally. ‎ In Britain, people celebrate 21st birthday less. Many adults dislike getting older and a few lie about their age. But in general older people are now much more willing to tell others their age. You may see a sign by the side of a road saying: “Dave Ell is 40 today!”, put there by Dave’s friends. At about 65, people retire, and those who have reached this age are called senior citizens. Few people live to be 100, so a 100th birthday is very special. In Britain, people reaching this age may receive card containing a printed message from the Queen.‎ ‎24. What’s the main characteristic of children’s birthday cards?‎ A. They are full of pictures of scenery. B. There are some flowers on them.‎ C. There is a large number on them. D. They have greetings written on them. ‎ ‎25. In the last paragraph, the example “Dave Ell is 40 today” shows ______.‎ ‎ A. The 40th birthday is very special B. Many adults like lying about their age ‎ C. Dave’s friends like playing jokes on him. D. Older people don’ t mind telling others their age now ‎26. If a person reaches 65, he can ______.‎ A. be called a senior citizen B. refuse to talk about his age ‎ C. receive a card from the queen D. be invited to dinner with the Queen ‎27. We can infer from the passage that _______ .‎ A. Bars in the US are forbidden to sell alcohol to young people under 21.‎ B. In Britain, 18 means young people become adults.‎ C. Young people will get a car as the 16th birthday present in the US. ‎ D. British young men love to celebrate the 21st birthday. ‎ C ‎ Since his students began using Quizlet, English teacher Tristan Thorne has noticed an improvement in their ability to learn and use new words. Quizlet is a learning App, a computer program you use on your mobile phone. It can help users build and test their knowledge of English words. Quizlet has word sets for millions of subjects. And, it is quickly becoming a useful mobile tool for language learners.‎ ‎     Thorne teaches at Columbia University in New York City. Thanks to learning Apps, Jeff Strack, another English teacher, has also notice improvement in his students' ability to remember information. He teaches at Hostos Community College, also in New York. He and Thorne are part of a growing number of language educators adding mobile Apps to their classes.‎ ‎     Strack and Thorne seem to agree that the days when teachers would not permit the use of mobile phones are gone. When they use Apps, language learners communicate more differently than in a traditional classroom. Users act on or respond to something, instead of just listening to new information.‎ ‎    Thorne believes that Apps can help learners become more active in learning. For example, each week, his students are required to add vocabulary words into Quizlet for others to use. He says some Apps also make it easy for students to know their language strengths and weaknesses.‎ ‎     The biggest improvement Strack has seen in his students is that they are much more active in whole-class or small-group discussions. “Apps let all students take part in the activity, whether it's a game, quiz or practice activity.” he says.‎ ‎     Many existing（现存的） learning Apps are designed for students of all ages and levels. Some are designed for group activities. some support independent learning. Still some are good for homework. Thorne says he especially likes Quizlet and three other Apps: QR Codes, Socrative and Evernote.‎ ‎28. What do Strack and Thorne do to improve their teaching? ‎ A . They design learning Apps for their students. ‎ B . They don't allow their students to use Apps after class ‎ C . They allow their students to use mobile Apps to study D . They order their students not to use mobile phones in class ‎ ‎29. According to the text, Apps can help language learners __________. ‎ A . take an active part in learning B . save much time and money C . remember their weaknesses D . improve personal designing skills ‎ ‎30. What can we learn about the existing learning Apps? ‎ A . They have three types in total B . They are too few to choose from ‎ C . They are only designed for homework D . They are designed for different uses ‎ ‎31. What can be the best title for the text? ‎ A . Great changes in science and technology B . The use of mobile phones will be gone C . Ways to choose from different mobile Apps D . Better language learning with mobile Apps ‎ D ‎   For the first time in Hong Kong's history, an entertainer（艺人） has been written into middle school textbooks.

Chow Yun fat has been written into middle school textbooks mainly because ________． A. he plays best in Hong Kong      B. he keeps on struggling for success C. his experiences are very special   D. he is well thought of 33.
