It is the capital and most populous (人口稠密) city in the Netherlands and often referred to as the “Venice of the North” due to its convenient system of bridges and canals. Here are some of the key points to remember as you plan your trip to Amsterdam. Must-See Attractions Most visitors begin their Amsterdam adventure in the Old Centre, which is full of traditional architecture, shopping centers and coffee shops. Don’t miss the Dam Square and the areas around Spui and Nieuwmarkt. You’ll also want to check out Amsterdam’s Museum Quarter in the South District, which is great for shopping at the Albert Cuyp Market and having a picnic in the Vondelpark. Transportation Travelers should be aware that Amsterdam Airport Schiphol is one of the busiest a airports in the world. You can catch a train from Schiphol to Amsterdam Central Station, which has many connecting routes. Cycling is very popular here, and it’s easy to find cheap bike rentals around town. Recommended Restaurants Amsterdam is a top destination for foodies, so it is difficult to narrow down your dining choices. Here are a couple of our favorites. Restaurant Cuisine (风味) Location Price Notes Foodism Mediterranean Nassaukade 122,1052 EC dishes from 20 Small portions are served so order 2-3 dishes per person Ciel Bleu French Hotel Okura.

This is when hotel and flight prices rise sharply. • Look for accommodations in Amsterdam’s South District, where rates are generally cheaper than in the city center. • Buy train tickets at the machine instead of the counter to save a bit of money. • Check out our homepage to view price comparisons for flights, hotels, and rental cars before you book. 21.

Some ancient peoples believed that lightning and thunder were the weapons (武器) of the gods. In reality, lightning is a flow of electricity formed high above the earth. A single flash of lightning 1.6 kilometres long has enough electricity to light one million light bulbs (灯泡). The American scientist and statesman, Benjamin Franklin, was the first to show the connection between electricity and lightning in 1752. In the same year he also built the first lightning rod (避雷针). This device (装置物) protects buildings from being damaged by lightning. Modern science has discovered that one stroke (闪击) of lightning has a voltage (电压) of more than 15 million volts (伏特). A flash of lightning between a cloud and the earth may be as long as 13 kilometers, and travel at a speed of 30 million meters per second. Scientists judge that there are about 2,000 million flashes of lightning per year. Lightning hits the Empire State Building in New York City 30 to 48 times a year. In the United States alone it kills an average (平均数) of one person every day. The safest place to be in case of an electrical storm is in a closed car. Outside, one should go to low ground and not get under tress. Also, one should stay out of water and away from metal fences. Inside a house, people should avoid open doorways and windows and not touch wires or metal things. With lightning, it is better to be safe than sorry? 25.People once thought lightning came from . A. the sky B. the gods C. the earth D. nature 26. Lightning can travel . A. as quickly as water B. not so quickly as electricity C. at very low speed D. at very high speed 27.Which of the following is NOT true? . A. In the U.S about one person per day dies from lightning. B. The Empire State Building frequently gets hit by lightning. C. Swimming during a thunder storm is a good idea. D. A closed car is the best place to be during an electrical storm. C The fiddler crab (蟹) is a living clock. It indicates the time of day by the colour of its skin, which is dark by day and pale by night. The crabs changing colour follows a regular twenty-four hour plan that exactly matches the daily rhythm (节奏) of the sun. Does the crab actually keep time, or does its skin simply answer to the sun’s rays, changing colour according to the amount of light strikes it? To find out, biologists kept crabs in a dark room for two months. Even without daylight, the crab’s skin colour continued to change exactly on time. This characteristic（特性) probably developed gradually in answer to the daily rising and setting of the sun, to help protect the crab from sunlight and enemies. After millions of years it has become completely regulated (受控制) inside the living body of the crab. The biologists noticed that once each day the colour of the fiddler crab is especially dark, and that each day this happens fifty minutes later than on the day before. From this they discovered that each crab follows not only the rhythm of the sun but also that of the tides (潮水).The crabs period of greatest darkening is exactly the time of low tide on the beach where it was cought! 28.The fiddler crab is like a clock because it changes colour ______. A in a regular 24—hour rhythm B. in answer to the sun’s rays C. at low tide D. every fifty minutes 29.The crab’s changing colour ______. A. tells the crab what time it is B. protects the crab from the sunlight and enemies C. keeps the crab warm D. is of no real use 30.When the fiddler crabs were kept in the dark , they ______. A. did not change colour B. changed colour more quickly C. changed colour more slowly D. changed colour on the same timetable 31.The best title for this selection would be ______. A. The Sun and the Tides B. Discoveries in Biology C. A scientific Study D. A Living Clock D The easy way out isn't always easiest. I learned that lesson when I decided to treat Doug, my husband of one month, to a special meal. I glanced through my cook book and chose a menu which included homemade bread. Knowing the bread would take time. I started on it as soon as Doug left for work. As I was not experienced in cooking, I thought if a dozen was good, two dozen would be better, so I doubled everything. As Doug loved oranges, I also opened a can of orange and poured it all into the bowl. Soon there was a sticky dough （生面团）covered with ugly yellowish marks. Realizing I had been defeated, I put the dough in the rubbish bin outside so I wouldn't have to face Doug laughing at my work. I went on preparing the rest of the meal, and, when Doug got home, we sat down to Cornish chicken with rice. He tried to enjoy the meal but seemed disturbed. Twice he got up and went outside, saying he thought he heard a noise. The third time he left, I went to the windows to see what he was doing. Looking out, I saw Doug standing about three feet from the rubbish bin, holding the lid up with a stick and looking into the container. When I came out of the house, he dropped the stick and explained that there was something alive in out rubbish bin. Picking up the stick again, he held the lid up enough for me to see. I felt cold. But I stepped closer and looked harder. Without doubt it was my work. The hot sun had caused the dough to double in size and the fermenting yeast(酵母) made the surface shake and sigh as though it were breathing. I had to admit what the living thing was and why it was there. I don't know who was more embarrassed(尴尬) by the whole thing—Doug or me. 32. The writer's purpose in writing this story is . A. to tell an interesting experience B. to show the easiest way out of a difficulty C. to describe the trouble facing a newly married woman D. to explain the difficulty of learning to cook from books 33. Why did the woman's attempt at making the bread turn out to be unsuccessful? A. The canned orange had gone bad. B. She didn't use the right kind of flour. C. The cookbook was hard to understand. D. She did not follow the directions closely. 34.What made the dough in the bin looks frighting? A. The rising and falling movement. B. The strange-looking marks. C. Its shape. D. Its size. 35.When Doug went out the third time, the woman looked out of the window because she was . A. surprised at his being interested in the bin B. afraid that he would discover her secret C. unhappy that he didn't enjoy the meal D. curious to know what disturbed him 第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分） Evaluating Sources (来源) of health Information Making good choices about your own health requires reasonable evaluation. A key first step in bettering your evaluation ability is to look carefully at your sources of healthy information. Reasonable evaluation includes knowing where and how to fins relevant information, how to separate fact from opinions, how to recognize poor reasoning, and how to analyze information and the reliability of sources. 36 Go to the original source. Media reports often simplify the results of medical research. Find out for yourself what a study really reported, and determine whether it was based on good science. Think about the type of study. 37 Watch for misleading language. Some studies will find that a behavior “contributes to” or is “associated with” an outcome; this does not mean that a certain course must lead to a certain result. 38 Carefully read or listen to information in order to fully understand it. Use your common sense. If a report seems too good to be true, probably it is. Be especially careful of information contained in advertisements. 39 Evaluate “scientific” statements carefully, and be aware of quackery(江湖骗术). 40 Friends and family members can be a great source of ideas and inspiration, but each of us needs to find a healthy lifestyle that works for us. Developing the ability to evaluate reasonably and independently about the health problems will serve you well throughout your life. A. Make choice that are right for you. B. The goal of an ad is to sell you something. C. Be sure to work through the critical questions. D. And examine the findings of the original research. E. Distinguish between research reports and public health advice. F. Be aware that information may also be incorrectly explained by an author’s point of view. G. The following suggestions can help you sort through the health information you receive from common sources. 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） Nick was not the kind of boy I had expected to spend my summer with.
