If not, try to find a chance to visit them.‎ Fez, Morocco Fez, about 240 miles northeast from Marrakech, a wonderful scene is taking root slowly. It started with immigrants building castles, and continues as hotels and restaurants. The biggest news is that the Hotel Sahrai is completed with a bar and 50 rooms, many overlooking a pool.‎ Catskills, New York The region that welcomed Jewish families in the 50s,hippies in the 60s,and soon, casino gamblers（赌博者）. Many stylish B&Bs have opened. Among them are the Hotel Dylan in Woodstock, the Arnold House in Livingston Manor, with its bar and diminutive ‎ spa（水疗中心）.So now is the time to enjoy fly-fishing, hiking and other peaceful experiences.‎ Rotterdam, Netherlands The constantly unfolding city center in Rotterdam has become one amazing explosion of style, which surprised the tourists greatly. The latest attraction, and reason enough to visit, is the MVRDV-designed Markthal, an igloo（圆顶冰屋）-like horseshoe that houses 20 shops, nine restaurants and 228 apartments. It also happens to be Holland's largest artwork.‎ Chengdu, China Famous for its 1,600 pandas, most of which still live in the wild, Chengdu has introduced a 72-hour no-visa policy that makes it easier for Americans to drop in on one of the city's three major panda research facilities. But it's worth sticking around longer to experience what's doing in Chengdu, a city on the rise.

Then, the market turned and my husband's job at a construction company was gone. The company was closing down forever.‎ We both started looking for jobs right away, but there weren't any to be found. With each passing day we were getting increasingly worried and we continued to work together in order to pull our family through. The more we pulled together, the closer we got. I felt feelings of admiration for ‎ my husband that I hadn't felt for years.‎ That's why it was so hard for me to watch him blame himself for ou present situation. I continually asked him to stop but he seemed to want to punish himself for not having a job.‎ Finally, one afternoon I pulled him aside and said," We have four healthy children and each other. That's what's important. That makes you a rich man."‎ ‎"But what if we lose the house? They will hate me—you'll hate me," he replied.‎ I smiled at him and put my hands on both sides of his face to make him look me in the eye." No matter where we live I will be happy—as long as I have you," I smiled again as I realized that I wasn't just saying that. In all the struggling together I had found that deep love for him that I had on the day we said "I do".‎ I could see his shoulders and neck relaxed. He held me close and we were able to talk and plan and dream together in a way that we hadn't for quite some time. It was a turning point for us as a couple and a family.‎ We are still struggling for our better life, but I consider us well-off because we have something that money can't buy and no one can take away from us.‎ ‎24．We know from the story that . ‎ A．they both found good jobs at last B． her husband was out of work for his not working hard C．both of them felt anxious about their unemployment ‎ D．they didn't love each other any longer after they got married ‎25．By saying "The more we pulled together, the closer we got", the wife means .‎ A．her husband worked harder for being closer ‎ B．they had closer affection as they struggled together C．their house was closer to the company than before ‎ D．they were closer to another employment as time went by ‎26．What is their present life like?‎ A．Hard but warm.

D．Comfortable and admiring.‎ ‎27．Which of the following might be the best title?‎ A．Better Life Comes B．Hard Time Goes ‎ C．We Have It All D．We Lose It All C The word "OK" is the most frequently spoken all-purpose expression on the planet—and it's turning 176 years old on March 23,2015.The term was born during a 19th-century abbreviation（缩写）craze and went on to international fame with its own hand gesture.‎ Last year, Henry Nass, a 64-year-old retired English teacher, a New Yorker had spent the last few weeks handing out cards championing "Global OK Day" in advance of the coming anniversary.‎ ‎"No matter where people are from they use the word 'OK,' but they don't know where it comes from," says Nass. "The problem is because it's just, you know, OK."‎ The word is OK, perhaps, but its history is definitely better than average. Late etymologist Allen Walker Read traced the two-letter word to 1839,when editors at the Boston Morning Post signed off on articles as “all correct” with a simple word "OK".‎ The word made it into print on March 23 of that year, during an article against a rival editor in Providence who had stated wrongly that a band of Bostonians heading to New York would pass through the Rhode Island capital.‎ ‎"We said not a word about our team passing 'through the city' of Providence," the Morning Post reported. "O.K.—all correct."‎ The humor of the Providence-Boston joke has been lost to history—but the word OK took off from there, soon connoting（隐含）agreement, acceptance, averageness, quality or likability.‎ By 1840,it served as a slogan for President Martin Van Buren's unsuccessful reelection campaign." Old Kinderhook is OK," posters stated, a reference to the eighth president's birthplace and his supporters’ belief in his satisfactory performance.‎ ‎28．Why did Henry Nass hand out cards?‎ A．To let people understand the history of the word "OK". ‎ B．To call on people to use the word "OK" properly.‎ C．To appeal to people to celebrate OK Day. ‎ D．To attract people's attention.‎ ‎29．What does the author want to convey in Paragraph 4?‎ A．The history of the word "OK" is known to average people. ‎ B．The history of the word "OK" is unfamiliar to people.‎ C．People frequently use the word "OK" in history. ‎ D．People are fond of the word "OK" in history.‎ ‎30．What does the underlined phrase "took off 'in Paragraph 7 probably mean?‎ A．Got off B．Set up ‎ C．Moved off D．Become popular ‎31．We can learn from the text that Kinderhook is of the eighth American president.‎ A．the name B．the birthplace ‎ C．the policy D．the belief D The Rise of Sneaker Culture is organized by the Bata Shoe Museum, whose aims are to explore the social history, technical innovations, fashion trends, and marketing campaigns that have shaped sneaker culture over the past two centuries. You cannot overestimate the cultural importance of a pair of sneakers. At least that's the conclusion from a new exhibition at the Brooklyn Museum in the US.‎ The sneaker is regarded both as a cultural force and a fashion statement." Early sneakers were actually status symbols." said Elizabeth Semmelheck, senior leader of Bata Shoe Museum.‎ Displaying over 150 shoes, the exhibit covers a wide range of examples and will last about three months. From their modest origins in the mid-nineteenth century to high-end sneakers created in the past decade, sneakers have become a global obsession（痴迷）.Included are works from makers such Adidas, Converse, Nike, Puma, and Reebok as well as private collectors such as hip-hop legend Darryl "DMC" McDaniel's, and Dee Wells of Obsessive Sneaker Disorder. Also featured are sneakers by Prada and other major fashion design houses and designers, as well as those made in cooperation with artists including Damien Hirst and Shantell Martin. After Brooklyn, the collection will head to Toledo, Ohio; and Louisville, Kentucky.‎ Sneakers are one of the few things people will line up for days to buy. They're the subject of songs, and have helped make billionaires out of athletes and fashion designers. Sneakers are a cultural phenomenon, and perhaps an alien（外星人）visiting our planet could learn most about us, by looking at our feet!‎ ‎32．Early sneaker is regarded as .‎ A．a cultural force B．a fashion statement ‎ C．an identity D．a common footwear ‎ ‎33．Which of the following is true about the exhibition at the Brooklyn Museum?‎ A．The exhibit will display less than 150 shoes. ‎ B．The exhibit will head to other places abroad.‎ C．The exhibits of the sneakers are all famous brands. ‎ D．The exhibit shows the history of the sneaker culture.‎ ‎34．Why are sneakers so important to athletes?‎ A．Sneakers help make athletes fashionable. ‎ B．Sneakers become the subject of their songs.‎ C．Sneakers are comfortable to wear for athletes. ‎ D．Sneakers help make athletes become rich people.‎ ‎35．What does the author want to do by mentioning the alien?‎ A．To express the cultural importance of sneakers. ‎ B．To describe a picture of aliens' wearing sneakers.‎ C．To predict the promising future of sneakers. ‎ D．To advise producers to sell sneakers to aliens.‎ 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。‎ Do you find yourself unable to sleep or waking up night after night?
