The British coloney(殖民地)of Bermude is a top summertime escape. Yet, even through October, Bermuda isn't ready to stop for the winter. During this month, world-class festivals on teh island keep things lively and the weather remains comfortable enough for Bermuda shorts and bathing suits.

In October, Bermuda hosts two major festivals—the Bermuda Music Festival and the Bermuda Culinary Arts(廚藝) Festival. The 10th anniversary Bermuda Music Festival begins October 5 and features three days of performances at the Royal Naval Dockyard(皇家海軍造船廠)on Bermuda's West End. Featured main stage performers include Joss Stone, Pattie Labelle, and Al Green, and a second stage spotlights local Bermudian artists. General admission tickets start at $60 for on e day or $160 for a three-day pass.

Starting October 21, the Culinary Arts Festival brings some of North America's top chefs to the island for four days of food and wine tastings, conferences and cooking competitions. Participating chefs include Todd English and Michael Lomonaco, among others. Three-day festival passes start at $649 per person, but you can also buy separate tickets for individual events.

Even if you don't attend one of the festivals, there's still plenty to do. With mostly sunny days and temperatures averaging aroung 79 degrees, the weather is just right for participating in Bermuda's two favorite pastimes—golf and tennis. With fewer visitors on the island than during the summer, you may have an easier time getting the best times or a spot on the courts. It's also still warm enough to enjoy the island's pink sand beaches and go swimming, because the water keeps the summer's heat longer than the air. Of course, you can always shop in the city of Hamilton's upscale(質(zhì)優(yōu)價(jià)高的) small goods arts and crafts shops.

1.The Culinary Arts Festival lasts _____.

A. from October 5 to 7 B. from October 5 to 8

C. from October 21 to 24 D. from October 21 to 25

2.The best time to travel to Bermuda is ______

【解析】

試題分析：本文介紹了英國(guó)殖民地Bermuda作為一個(gè)避暑的勝地。每年的十月都有兩個(gè)大型的主要節(jié)日——音樂(lè)節(jié)和廚藝節(jié)。并且除了兩大節(jié)日你可以參與，在十月份你還能享受到Bermuda在夏季享受不到的獨(dú)特風(fēng)景。

1.1】細(xì)節(jié)歸納題。由第三段第一句可知，從十月21日開(kāi)始，廚藝節(jié)吸引了北美最頂尖的廚師來(lái)到島上，進(jìn)行為期4天的食品、美酒品嘗會(huì)議以及廚藝比拼。21日開(kāi)始為第一天，往后數(shù)到24日正好是4天。故選C。

2.2】推理判斷題。定位到第4段，講述了十月份Bermuda的氣溫宜人，適宜高爾夫和網(wǎng)球運(yùn)動(dòng)。島上游客沒(méi)有夏天多，因此人們能夠享受一個(gè)更加愜意的時(shí)光。還有保持著夏天的溫暖的海水可以讓你自由自在的游泳。這些都從是只在金秋十月份你能享受的。故選C。

3.3】推理判斷題。從整篇文章來(lái)看，都在描寫(xiě)B(tài)ermuda的節(jié)日與可觀光旅游的地方。一般景點(diǎn)門(mén)票價(jià)格為$60一天或者$160三天，如果你觀光廚藝節(jié)門(mén)票價(jià)格更高$649一個(gè)人，同時(shí)還介紹了十月份你在Bermuda除了可以看廚藝節(jié)還能參觀這里獨(dú)特的美景。宣傳性比較強(qiáng)，都是在給Bermuda這個(gè)城市做旅游宣傳。所以最可能的是一則廣告。故選A。

4.4】細(xì)節(jié)辨析題。最后一段倒數(shù)第二句談到秋天仍然適合游泳，但并沒(méi)有說(shuō)冬天在Bermuda不可以游泳。所以排除A。第二段第二句說(shuō)音樂(lè)節(jié)是在十月5日開(kāi)始而廚藝節(jié)是在十月21日開(kāi)始，可見(jiàn)兩個(gè)節(jié)日并不在一個(gè)時(shí)期，所以不選C.在第三段第一句話中介紹了廚藝節(jié)主要吸引的是北美的頂尖廚師而不僅僅是英國(guó)的。所以說(shuō)Bermuda的兩大節(jié)日都是服務(wù)于英國(guó)是不正確的，所以排除D。

Since the beginning of the year, smog(霧霾) has covered parts of North China. In January, Beijing saw only five days without smog. The rising PM2.5 readings terrified many people, and some health experts said that whenever the smog gets serious, hospitals receive more patients suffering acute respiratory (呼吸系統(tǒng)) and heart diseases.

Later, news of polluted underground water in some provinces scared people who wondered whether the water they drink is safe.

So the need to emphasize environmental protection while developing the economy is heard everywhere.

Smog is especially a common concern. As a popular online post said, air may be the only thing that is equal for everyone, despite your income or profession. People with higher incomes are able to drink only bottled spring water and eat only organic food by paying higher prices, but they breathe the same air as everyone else.

At a meeting on Monday, many representatives have expressed their concerns about the air quality, too. One talked about his experience in Beijing. “After taking a taxi from the capital airport to my hotel, which took about an hour, I washed my nose and found the inside of my nose was black. We should ask ourselves this question: Why do we want to develop? It's for living a better life. Dirty air is definitely not a better life,” he said.

China needs to develop its economy and invest (投資) in high?tech. Every Chinese has a dream to make China stronger. But without blue sky, clean water and safe food, the achievements in the economy will become meaningless. Space technologies are not to be developed for building a base on Mars so that one day all human beings can move to the red planet because they have destroyed Earth.

What the public wants is a strong and beautiful China. The great efforts must be made to promote ecological progress and build a beautiful China. The words have shown the central government's determination to address the environment issue.

1.The effect of smog doesn't include ________.

A. the increase of people's income

B. more people suffering diseases

C. the rising of PM2. 5 readings

D. patients increased in hospital

2.Why has smog become a common concern ________?

A. Because people have to pay higher prices.

B. Because a popular online?post discussed it.

C. Because we have to develop industry.

D. Because nobody can avoid it.

3.To make China stronger we have to develop economy, but ________.

A. we have to sacrifice air as the price

B. the smog is the only by product

C. ecological progress can be ignored

D. the dirty air is not what we want

4.The underlined word “they” in Paragraph 6 refers to ______.

A. space technologies B. other planets

C. human beings D. industrial development

5.From the last two paragraphs we can infer that ________.

A. high?tech can completely solve the problem of pollution

B. we must protect the environment while developing economy

C. we can move to Mars after the earth has been destroyed

D. space technologies should be developed in a large scale

My teenage son Karl became withdrawn(孤僻) after his father died. As a single parent, I tried to do my best to talk to him. But the more I tried, the more he pulled away. When his report card arrived during his junior year, it said that he had been absent 95 times from classes and had six falling grades for the year. In this way he would never graduate. I sent him to the school adviser, and I even begged him. Nothing worked. One night I felt so powerless that I got down on my knees and asked God for help. "Please God, I can't do anything more for my son. I'm at the end of my rope. I'm giving the whole thing up to you." I was at work when I got a phone call. A man introduced himself as the headmaster. "I want to talk to you about Karl's absences." Before he could say another word, I choked up (哽咽) and all my disappointment and sadness over Karl came pouring out into the ears of this stranger. "I love my son, but I just don't know what to do. I've tried everything to get Karl to go back to school and nothing has worked. It's out of my hands." For a moment there was silence on the other end of the line. The headmaster seriously said, "Thank you for your time", and hung up. Karl’s next report card showed a marked improvement in his grades. Finally, he was even on the list of the best students at school. In his fourth year, I attended a parent-teacher meeting with Karl. I noticed that his teachers were astonished at the way he had turned himself around. On our way home, he said, "Mum, remember that call from the headmaster last year?" I nodded. "That was me. I thought I'd play a joke but when I heard what you said, it really hit me how much I was hurting you. That's when I knew I had to make you proud."

D. she would have to hang up
