best completes each sentence.
Passage1
We?ve found that eating habits vary (变化) so much that it does not make sense to include meals in the price of our tours. We want to give you the freedom of choosing restaurants and ordering food that suits your taste and budget(预算).
As your hotels offer anything from coffee and toast to a full American breakfast at very reasonable prices, it will never be a problem for you to start the day in the way you like best. At lunch stops, your tour guide will show you where you can find salads, soups, and sandwiches.
Dinner time is your chance to try some local food. Sometimes the tour guide will let you have dinner at a restaurant of your own choice. At other times he or she will recommend a restaurant at
your hotel. Years of research have taught us which restaurants reliably serve a good choice of delightful dishes at down-to-earth prices.
In Mexico, Alaska, and the Yukon, where your restaurant choice may be limited, we include some meals. The meals provided are clearly stated on the tour pages.
1. According to the passage, most meals are not included in the price of tours mainly because_________.
A. meals make up a large part of the tour budget
B. meal prices vary a lot from place to place
C. people dislike menus offered by tour guides
D. people have different eating habits
2. We can learn from the passage that _________.
A. the hotels where you stay will offer you free breakfast
B. dining information can be obtained from your tour guides
C. you can have a complete choice of local dishes at the hotel
D. a full list of local restaurants can be found on the tour pages
3. Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. Tour guides are supposed to arrange dinner outside the hotel.
B. Tour guides’recommendations on food are unreliable.
C. Tourists must have lunch in the hotels they stay in.
D. Tourists may taste local dishes during dinner time.
4. The word “down-to-earth”(Line 4, Para.3) most probably means _________.

Passage 2
A major new development in systems of work in Britain is taking place. Flexible working
hours, or …flextime?, are catching on fast, and this trend is continuing. In 1973, over 500 organizations had adopted the idea, and by 1974, its number had risen to over 200.000.
Flexible working hours were invented in Germany in the late 1960s but reached Britain only in 1972. The system allows workers to start and finish work whenever they want, with only two requirements. These are, firstly, that all workers must be present for certain "key" limes in the day and secondly, that all workers must work an agreed total number of hours per week.
The system has proved an almost total success wherever it has been tried. A survey of 700 workers on flexible hours showed three main advantages: a better balance between working and private life, avoidance of the need to travel during rush hours, and the ability to be able to finish a certain task before leaving.
From the employers? point of view, the system tends to increase productivity, reduce labor turnover and give the workers a greater sense of duty.
1. According to the passage, the _____ invented the "flexible working hours".
A. Japanese
B. Americans
C. Germans
D. British
2. The phrase …catch on? (in Para. 1) most probably means__.
A. understand
B. seize
C. perceive
D. become popular
3. What is one of the advantages of "flextime" for workers?
A. T hey can earn more money.
B. They can avoid busy traffic.
C. They will do less work.
D. They can avoid working hard.
4. Which one is NOT an advantage of "flextime" for employers?
A. A better balance between working and private life.
B. It reduces labor turnover.
C. It gives the workers a greater sense of duty.
D. It tends to increase productivity.
5. The author ________ "flextime" according to the passage.
A. supports
B. is against
C. criticizes
D. hales

Passage3
Many centuries ago, a group of Jews (犹太人) landed in India and immediately went to the king. They told him that they were lost and wanted to settle in his kingdom.
In those days any foreigner was viewed with suspicion (怀疑), so the king was hesitant about letting them in. He sent for one glass of milk and one glass of water. He asked the leader of the Jews to taste the milk. Then he poured out some milk and added some water. He asked the leader to taste the milk again and said, "What is the difference in taste?"
The leader said, "The second time the milk tastes terrible." "That is because of the water
added to the milk," said the king. “The water dilutes the milk and spoils its taste. So too your addition (加入) will spoil the kingdom.” The leader of the Jews thought for a moment and asked for another glass of milk. He then added sugar to the milk and asked the king lo taste it. "It tastes sweet," said the king.
The leader of the Jews bowed his head and said. "Oh, king! That is how we would like lo live here: as the small amount of sugar which sweetens the large quantity of milk and not as the water which dilutes the milk." Pleased with him the king granted them permission to stay.

【参考范文】
My Opinion on Cheating in Examinations
It is known to us all that some students cheat in examinations at school.
As students, we often take examinations at school, but sometimes we have too many examinations which are too difficult for us. On the other hand, some of us are lazy and don't work hard at their lessons. So when taking examinations, they sometimes cheat in order to get better results to please their parents and teachers.
In my opinion, it is wrong to cheat in examinations because it breaks the rules of schools. We students should be honest and try to get good results by studying hard instead of cheating in examinations. What's more, we should improve our study methods and get well prepared for examinations.

The government was badly run and people’s lives were miserable. King Louis XIV tried to control the national parliament and raise more taxes. But his effort failed. He ordered his troops to Versailles. The people thought that Louis intended to put down the Revolution by force. On July 14, 1789, they stormed and took the Bastille, where political prisoners were kept. Ever since that day, July 14 has been the French National Day. Louis tried to flee the country in 1792 to get support from Austria and Prussia. However, he was caught and put in prison. In September 1792, the monarchy was abolished. In the same year, Louis was executed. A few months later his wife, Marie also had her head cut off. The Revolution of France had frightened the other kings of Europe. Armies from Austria and Prussia began to march against France. The French raised republican armies to defend the nation. The Revolution went through a period of terror. Thousands of people lost their lives. In the end, power passed to Napoleon Bonaparte.

Passage 2 A foreigner's first impression of the U.S. is likely to be that everyone is in a rush-often under pressure. City people always appear to be hurrying to get where they are going restlessly, seeking attention in a store, and elbowing others as they try to complete their errands(任务). Racing through daytime meals is part of the pace of life in this country. 一个外国人对于美国的第一印象很有可能是每个人都在压力下匆匆忙忙。城市里的人总是表现得匆匆忙忙不知疲倦的，为了尽快做完一件事情，他们会在店里拼命引起店员的注意或者用胳膊肘推搡别人。白天匆忙就餐也是这个国家生活节奏的一个部分。 Working time is considered precious. Others in public eating places are waiting for you to finish so that they too can be served and get back to work within the time allowed. Each person hurries to make room for the next person. If you don’t, waiters will hurry you. 工作时间被认为是很珍贵的。在一些公共饮食场所，其它人会等在你旁边等你吃完，这样大家都可以得到服务，并赶在规定的时间内回去工作。每个人都会尽快给下一个人腾出地方。如果你不这样，侍者会催促你的。 You also find drivers will be abrupt and people will push past you.
