Typically, families travel to British seaside towns.‎ In the late 1970s, air travel became affordable for the average family, and more and more British people started travelling abroad for their summer holidays. After all, the British weather isn’t very good, even in summer-‎ In the 1980s and 1990s, British young people became more wealthy. They started to go abroad in groups. Once at their destination they socialised with other young people and had one long party.‎ British holidaying habits have begun to change, however. The UK now has a warmer j climate than before, so people don't always feel they need to go overseas. Also, the world seems a less certain place as interconnected economies(经济)rise and fall, which means that the cost of foreign holidays is less predictable than before. The domestic (国内的）tourism industry — when people go on holiday in their own country ——is healthier than it has been in decades. UK newspapers have even invented a new word ： a “staycation”.‎ In some ways, therefore, the UK has come full circle. There is now an increased appreciation among Britons for the diversity of the UK. It is not just the geography, which ranges from the flat fens (沼泽）of East Anglia to the valleys of Wales to the mountains of Scotland, which is diverse. And it is not just the diversity of climate-based activities on offer, which range from surfing in the warm southwest of England, to hillwalking and skiing in the north, it is also the diversity of the cultures in the UK that is beginning to be of interest to domestic tourists. People forget sometimes that there are different accents, languages, traditions, cuisines and peoples across all the parts of the UK.‎ ‎32. Why do more British people take their holidays in their own country?‎ A. The Internet makes them closer.‎ B. They are wealthier and more sociable.‎ C. The global climate is getting much warmer.‎ D. The expense on foreign holidays is unsteady.‎ ‎33. What does the underlined word “staycation” in Paragraph 4 refer to?‎ A. A vacation spent at home. B. A healthier style of living.‎ C. A new way to spend holiday. D. A fashionable tourism industry.‎ ‎34. Which is the best heading that matches Paragraph 5 ?‎ A. Flights of fancy. B. Sun, sea and sand.‎ C. The length and width. D. Footloose and fancy-free.‎ ‎35. What^ the purpose of the author in writing the passage?‎ A. To prove the UK has diverse scenery.‎ B. To show the UK starts to discover itself.‎ C. To tell the development of the United Kingdom.‎ D. To explain why the British spend holidays inland.‎ 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。‎ Each summer, Craig Stihler and Jack Wallace, scientists for the state of West Virginia hike to Peacock Cave to count Virginia big-eared bats. 36 .

After we arrived at the small entrance to Peacock Cave, Craig and Jack unpacked their equipment. Crale said, “ 37 .Hibernating (冬眠)bats may be awakened and fly around and burn up the fat they've stored in their bodies. Without that food supply, they might not live until spring when they can eat insects again. And bat mothers may drop their babies. “‎ As night settled in，they set up a night-vision scope (观察仪器）. 38 .They also set up a radio-like bat detector outside the cave. It picks up bat sounds that our ears can’t hear. For the next two hours, Craig counted the bats by speaking into a handheld voice recorder each time five bats flew out of the cave. By the time the last bat left the cave at about 10:30 p. m., Craig and Jack had counted 1,242 bats! 39 .Craig explained that when the first count was taken at Peacock Cave in 1983, there were only 160 Virginia big-eared bats. Projects to help protect bats have helped the bats make a remarkable comeback. Today the total number of Virginia big-eared bats there are more than 25,000.‎ ‎40 .They will continue to need human’s help if they are going to survive into the future.‎ A. Why do they do so?‎ B.

The clock on the wall is ten minutes fast.‎ M : Then we can get there on time.‎ Text2‎ W : Sam, what about going to a movie tonight?‎ M : I’d love to, but I can’t. If I go, I’ll miss the deadline for the task again.‎ W : Then I’ll go alone.‎ Text3‎ M ：Sara, our wildlife protection club is looking for some more members. Are you interested? W : I’m really interested in your club. But I’m too busy with my studies. Next year, perhaps. M ：OK.‎ Text 4‎ W : Oh! look at all the foods you’ve ordered.‎ M : Do you like them? I hope you do. Sorry! I don’t really know what you really love eating.‎ W : Actually you’ve ordered all that I love eating. Thank you.‎ Text 5‎ W : The price of petrol keeps dropping recently. It’s really good news, isn’t it?‎ M : Yes. But I’m afraid it’ll keep going up pretty soon. You know, it can’t drop all the time.‎ W : That’s true. And when the price goes up, I’ll drive less.‎ Text 6‎ W: Peter, why don’t you go outside and play football with your fiends? It is such a wonderful day today.‎ M : No, I’d rather stay inside. There is a football game in just about ten minutes. You know how much I love watching football games on TV.‎ W : Oh, Peter. You really should go and do sports yourself rather than watching games. If you don’t, you put on weight quickly. You’ll end up being as fat as your father one day. Just stop being a couch potato! It won’t do you any good.‎ M : OK I’II go outside.‎ W : Good.‎ Text 7‎ W :I’ve just finished writing my letter of application. But I think it needs some improvements.

But now I don’t have to.‎ M ： You don’ drink coffee now?‎ W ： Don’t get me wrong. I still drink coffee. I just don’t have to get up that early to make coffee.

And some of ‎ them even have recommended it to their students’ parents.‎ Text 10‎ How to control anger? In today’ program, I’ll give you some tips.‎ Since anger arises from failed expectations, changing expectations is a good way to control anger. So instead of getting upset about a missed appointment, try to accept the missed appointment in a calm manner. Then plan for what needs to be done to make up for the missed appointment. That’s what I often do.‎ Second, try to look at your current situation in a positive way. For example, instead of Bad luck. I missed the flight”，you can say “It’s a good thing that I missed the flight. Now I have some time to read a novel before my next flight. That was an experience of my colleague Tom Brown.‎ Third, you can relax and take a deep breath. Sometimes there is really not much you can do —like when you are stuck in a traffic jam. There are, of course, anger management games that help us practice dealing with such situations.‎ Fourth, take a break. We all need that sometimes! Take a break from whatever you are doing, and change the environment possible. Get out and get a cup of coffee. Thank you for your listening. Now please listen to a comforting song.‎
