Paris shocks tourists
AH, Paris! The city d’amour (爱), where loved ones walk by the River Seine, kiss under the Eiffel Tower, and enjoy 36 candle-lit dinners at the famous Le Meurice restaurant. Across the city, “love locks”, 37 of a couple’s love are put on its famous bridges to stay there forever. But in the city of love, all is not as it seems.

The “Paris syndrome (综合症)”, as it is known, describes the feeling of disenchantment (觉醒) after building up a romantic view of the city.
As there are expensive Louis Vuitton, Hermes, and Cartier stores on the famous Champs-Elysées, it is easy to see why 60 percent of Chinese tourists 41 in Paris. But because they are often carrying large amounts of money, many Chinese tourists are being 42 by the city’s pickpockets.
“Sometimes, Chinese tourists try to 43 an ice cream with a 500-euro (3,867-yuan) bill,” Jean-Francois Zhou, president of the Chinese association of travel agencies in France, told Bloomberg. “They usually change large amounts of yuan to 44 money-changing fees, and the use of credit cards isn’t as 45 in China as it is in Europe,” he 46 .
However, stories of rude Parisians have long been told 47 Europe. The British have been teasing the French for being unfriendly for a long time, and even many French people outside of Paris admit that Parisians can be a little bad-tempered. But dig deeper than the general nice tourist interactions and you’ll find a 48 side to Paris and Parisians. If you’re willing to go to places that you might not see in postcards, there are many incredibly (极为) beautiful and surprising 49 hidden all around the city that will give you a taste of the romance you 50 . Paris is simply a proud city that sometimes gets a little tired of tourists.

第三部分：阅读理解（共15小题，每小题1分，满分15分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项中选出最佳答案, 选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
（A）
Recently, a small group of birdwatchers spent three weeks around Mount Vernon, the home of the first president of the United States, George Washington. They were busy counting wild birds on Mount Vernon's wetlands, south of Washington, D.C. They began in the middle of December and worked until the beginning of January.
The Audubon Society's first "Christmas Bird Count" took place 115 years ago in 1900. At that time, a man named Frank Chapman suggested a new Christmas tradition -- that people count birds instead of shooting them around the holiday.
Birds are one of the surest indicators -- or barometers -- of the health of the ecology. Last year, the bird count recorded over 66 million birds of 2,403 different species.
Gary Langham is chief scientist with the National Audubon Society.
“The Audubon climate report says that half the birds in North America -- 314 out of 588 species -- are seriously threatened by climate change. The impacts sort of cut across all birds, all sizes, all kinds, all places”. Information from the bird counts has shown that birds are staying farther north during the winter months because of warmer weather. Birdwatcher Jaime Reidy has noted the difference close to Washington, in the state of Virginia. “You get to see them at odd times of the year, a little earlier, staying a little later.”
Gary Langham says other conditions are affecting bird populations. “You can imagine the birds that live along the beach or along the rocky shore line as sea levels are rising around the world. That is impacting them, you know, doubly so.” David Yarnold is president of the Audubon Society. In his words, “Christmas Bird Count data is becoming important not only in documenting current climate change, but in predicting the future effects of climate change on North American bird populations. If we know what to expect, we can start taking actions now to do something about it.”
51．The underlined word “That” in last paragraph probably refers to ________.
A. The beach B. The rocky shore line.
C. The time of year D.The rise of sea level
52．The main idea of the passage should be ________.
A. Climate change is affecting bird migration
B. People should take actions to stop global warming
C. The bird count records the number of birds every year
D. Birds are one of the surest indicators of health ecology
（B）
Who Are Today’s Immigrants?
The world’s population is more mobile today than ever before. In 2010, more than 200 million people left their home countries to live in a new country. This is about 3 percent of the total world population. Some experts believe that number will swell to 400 million by 2050. Rates of immigration have remained strong for the last 300 years, but patters of immigration have changed since World War II. The backgrounds and experiences of today’s immigrants are different from those of the typical European immigrant of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Contemporary immigrants range from unskilled laborers to highly skilled professionals, and they come from and go to countries all over the world.
15
In the nineteenth century and until World War II, immigration was primarily in one direction- from the Old World to the New World. This is no longer the case. Countries such as Russia and China, which have long been, and continue to be, significant source countries, are now also destination countries. There is also considerable mobility inside regions, such as from one European country to another, or among the countries of the former Soviet Union.
In spite of such differences, the push and pull factors for immigration remain essentially the same as they were 100 years ago. Most people move to another country because they want a better life. For the majority of immigrants, this means better economic conditions. As in past generations, a labor shortage in one country often draws workers from another country, especially if wages are significantly higher. In some small countries, for example, Qatar, United Arab Emirates, and Kuwait, there are more jobs than citizens. The demand for labor is so high that the majority of the population consists of foreign-born workers, ranging from highly skilled engineers and financial experts to domestic and construction workers.
In traditional destination countries, such as the United States, however, labor needs have changed. Today, although there is still demand for unskilled labor, there is increasing demand for people with a high level of skill and education. The need for less skilled labor has shifted to other countries. As work on farms and in industry in the United States and Canada once drew workers from all over the world, now work in factories in Taiwan and south Korea attracts workers from Vietnam, the Philippines, and Cambodia.
Most global immigration is legal: however, a large number of people also move across national borders illegally in pursuit of employment. Experts estimate that about 15 to 20 percent of immigrants worldwide are in their new countries illegally. The United States has the largest number of these immigrants, followed by South Africa, with significant numbers also in Northern and Western Europe and Mexico. These immigrants face particular challenges because they often must hide from the authorities who might deport them back to their home countries. Their illegal status also means that employers may take advantage of them by forcing them to work longer hours and paying them less than the legal minimum wage.
Although economics remains the most important motivation in all forms of immigrant, other factors are also important. Some people decide to leave their home countries because their actions or political beliefs make it dangerous for them to remain. Others choose to leave because their home country has become too dangerous and unstable, often because of war or political unrest. They wish to find a place that is secure for themselves and their families. Education is also a significant factor for many modern immigrants. They want to raise their children in a place where they can get a good education, which, in turn, they hope will provide them with better prospects for the future. Finally, family and community ties also play a role in immigration decisions. As in the past, once a group of people from one country establishes a community in a new country, more people from that country is likely to follow.
The pattern, direction, and rate of immigration may change as the global economy changes. However, as long as life in a new country is more attractive than life in the old country, immigration will continue.
53. According to the reading, what are the patterns of immigration in China and Russia today?
A. They are major destination countries for immigrants.
B. They are major source countries for immigration.
C. Many people leave these countries while many people also immigrate to them.
D. Some people immigrate to these countries but many more people leave them.
54. Why is the percentage of foreign-born workers so high in Kuwait, Qatar, and the
15
United Arab Emirates?
A. These countries pay very high wages, so they attract many foreign workers.
B. There are not enough native-born workers in these countries so they must recruit workers from other countries.
C. It is very easy to immigrate to these countries.
D. These countries are very stable so many workers prefer to go there.
55. Why do some employers sometimes pay illegal immigrants less than the legal minimum wage?
A. They often do not speak good English.
B. Employers know that they will not complain about their wages to authorities.
C. Authorities might send illegal immigrants back to their home country.
D. Illegal workers often cause problems for employers.
56. Which is not the factor contributing to the immigration?
A. Education B. Religious freedom
C. Political unstability D. Family and community connections
( C )
More than meets the eye
Fine wines, food, perfume, luxury brands and art-in the eyes of many Chinese, France is a country of romance and fashion. but there is more to France than that.
In an interview with CCTV, French President Francois Hollande, who paid a state visit to China on April 25 to 26 with hopes of fighting the recession in his country by improving relations with China, said that France also stands out in fields such as science and technology.
Indeed, during Hollande′s stay in China, the two governments signed a series of deals on nuclear power, urbanization, new energy tourism and agricultural products, and a deal for 60 Airbus plans.
France is China’s fourth largest trading partner in the EU, while China is France’s largest trading partner in Asia and its largest source of imports in the world.
“I look forward to the future of our global strategic partnership,”President Xi Jinping said at a news conference with Hollande.
The French leader, in a speech delivered at Shanghai Jiaotong University, also addressed issues that directly concern Chinese young people .In the speech, he promised to shorten the processing tine of visa applications for Chinese students studying in France.
France is the most popular travel destination with Chinese tourists, according to a 2012 survey by the China Tourism Academy. In response to several recent attacks on Chinese tourists in France, Hollande and the country’s tourism minister promised to take measures, such as deploying more police in scenic spots frequented by Chinese tourists to ensure their safety. Chinese tourists were also reminded not to carry too much cash with them.
China and France began interacting with each other in the 17th century, when French kings sent numerous missionaries to China to promote Christianity. They also spread Western science in China.
Jean-Francois Gerbillon (1654-1707),for instance, who went by the name of Zhang Cheng in China, was one of them, A good mathematician, Gerbillon taught Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty about Western science.
The missionaries′ description of a stable and powerful China, compared with Europe’s sectarian conflicts and problems at the time, led to a “China fever” sweeping across France and other parts of Europe during the 17th and 18th century.
In the 19th century, however, China became weak and was defeated in several wars with industrialized France and other European powers.
The 20th century, especially in 1964, saw Sino-French relations turn a new page. That year,
15
France became the first Western country to establish diplomatic relations with the People’s Republic of China.
Since then, “France-China relations have been good or very good over the long run,”
Xinhua said. But the relationship between the two countries hasn’t been all well-established. The disruption of the Beijing Olympic torch relay in Paris and comments by French politicians on Tibet, for example, have caused anger in China.
57. Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A. France is a country of romance and fashion.
B. China will buy 60 Airbus planes from France.
C. Sino-France relationship is always harmonious with efforts from both sides.
D. Chinese tourists like to travel in France.
58. The passage is mostly about _______.
A. the relationship between China and France.
B. French President Hollande’s state visit to China.
C. France also stands out in science and technology.
D. a series of deals signed by China and France.
59. Which does the underlined word recession in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. economic growth B. economic recovery
C. economic development D. economic slowdown
60 .What can be inferred from the last 6 paragraphs?
A. The relationship between China and France began in the 19th century.
B. European countries were dying to learn about China during the 17th and 18th century.
C. China failed to build good relations with France after the wars in the 19th century.
D. France was the first Western country to establish diplomatic relationship with the PRC
(D)
In a certain store where they sell puddings, a number of these delicious things are laid out in a row during the Christmas season. Here you may select the one which is most to your taste, and you are even allowed to sample them before coming to a decision.
I have often wondered whether some people, who had no intention of making a purchase, would take advantage of this privilege. One day I asked this question of the shop girl, and I learned it was indeed the case. “Now there’s one old gentleman, for instance,” she told me, “he comes here almost every week and samples each one of the puddings, though he never buys anything, and I suspect he never will. I remember him from last year and the year before that, too. Well, let him come if he wants it, and welcome to it. And what’s more, I hope there are a lot more stores where he can go and get his share. He looks as if he needed it all right, and I suppose they can afford it.”
She was still speaking when an elderly gentleman limped up to the counter and began looking closely at the row of puddings with great interest. “Why, that’s the very gentleman I’ve been telling you about,” whispered the shop girl. “Just watch him now.” And then turning to him: “Would you like to sample them, sir? Here’s a spoon for you to use. “The elderly gentleman, who was poorly but neatly dressed, accepted the spoon and began eagerly to sample one after another of the puddings, only breaking off occasionally to wipe his red eyes with a large torn handkerchief. “This is quite good”. “This is not bad either, but a little too heavy”. All the time it was quite evident that he sincerely believed that he might eventually buy one of these puddings, and I am positive that he did not for a moment feel that he was in any way cheating the store. Poor old chap! Probably he had come down in the world and this sampling was all that was left
15
him from the time when he could afford to come and select his favorite pudding.
Amidst the crowd of happy, prosperous looking Christmas shoppers, the little black figure of the old man seemed pitiful and out of place, and in a burst of benevolence, I went up to him and said:
“Pardon me, sir, will you do me a favor? Let me purchase you one of these puddings. It would give me such pleasure.”
He jumped back as if he had been stung, and the blood rushed into his wrinkled face.
“Excuse me,” he said, with more dignity than I would have thought possible considering his appearance, “I do not believe I have the pleasure of knowing you. Undoubtedly you have mistaken me for someone else.” And with a quick decision he turned to the shop girl and said in a loud voice, “Kindly pack me up this one here. I will take it with me.” He pointed at one of the largest and most expensive of the puddings.
The girl took down the pudding from its stand and started to make a parcel of it, While he pulled out a worn little black pocketbook and began counting out shillings and pennies on to the counter. To save his “honor”, he had been forced into a purchase which he could not possibly afford. How I longed for the power to unsay my tactless words! It was too late though, and I felt that the kindest thing I could do now would be walk away.
“You pay at the desk,” the shop girl was telling him, but he did not seem to understand and kept trying to put the coins into her hand. And that was the last I saw or heard of the old man. Now he can never go there to sample puddings and more.
61. By saying it was indeed the case. , the author meant that ______.
A. many shoppers would sample pudding before buying them
B. some people just sampled pudding but didn’t buy them
C. the Christmas season was the time to promote pudding sales.
D. there were various kinds of puddings on sale during the Christmas sale.
62. From the girl’s words, we know that she ______
A. felt pity for the old man
B. looked down upon the old man
C. thought poorly of sampling pudding
D. worked in the shop for a few months
63 .The old man finally bought a pudding because ______
A. he had intended to buy the pudding
B. the author gave him some money
C. he was annoyed by the author’s offer
D. the shop girl asked him to purchase one
64. Why did the author feel that he should walk away according to the passage ?
A. He had something urgent to do
B .He was quite angry with the old man
C. He decided to pay the money for the pudding
D. He found himself in a rather awkward way
65. What does the passage imply?
A. Helping others involves respect..
B. Never judge a book by its cover.
C. A man can do no more than he can.
D. A word spoken cannot be recalled.

Water runs downhill from mountaintops to streams to rivers to oceans. But downhill running isn’t the only way that water moves .A new study measures how water travels from country to country for human consumption. This flow isn’t the type we usually think about. These scientists looked at the water used to grow and make the products which get shipped from nation to nation as imports or exports. They call this a flow of“virtual water”.
We typically think of water as the liquid that flows from a tap. However, nearly all ---92 percent---of the water used by people goes into growing crops，according to water researcher Arjen Hoekstra at the university to Twente in the Netherlands. He and his team recently studied the hidden travels of virtual water used in products made from things like crops and meats .These products are shipped around the world.
Virtue water is immense. For example, consider a sugary soft drink. Hoekstra and his team estimated that to produce one half-liter of the drink requires between 170 and 310 liters of water. Only a tiny amount of that—about 1 percent— is the water actually used in the soda. The vast majority of the water — about 95％—is used to grow and process the ingredients(原料). Another 4 percent goes into the packaging and labeling, said the scientists. In Hoekstra’s calculation, when one country produces a half-liter of soda and sells it abroad, it exports as much virtual water as would make a large refrigerator full of water.
According to Heokstra’s new report, dry countries like Israel and Kuwait, both in the Middle East, get the majority of their virtual water from other countries, through imported products. More surprisingly, a few wetter countries, like the Netherlands and the United Kingdom, also get the majority of their virtual water from other places. That means that most of the water used to grow or produce the products and food consumed in those countries came from other countries.
In the United States, most of the virtual water used comes from American sources; only about 20 percent of the virtual water comes from outside national boundaries. In China, even less of the water associated with its products — about 10 percent — comes from foreign countries.
Tracing the water trade, Hoekstra and his team turned up other surprising relationships. For instance, often a dry region sends virtual water to a wetter region. Dry areas in northern China, for example, send virtual water to the southern part of that country, which is wetter.

Tomorrow's World Book Day has inspired a slew of literary events throughout the capital. Xing Yi and Liu Zhihua report.
As World Book Day, April 23, approaches, various reading events are being held by government agencies, libraries and bookstores throughout the capital.
At the launch of the 5th Beijing Reading Season in Great Canal Park in Tongzhou district on Saturday night, 81-year-old Yin Zhiguang, head of Beijing Elocution Troupe, led the audience in reciting a poem.
Activities focusing on different readerships will highlight World Book Day in bookstores throughout Beijing, such as picture book sharing for children in Xidan Book Building, conversations with musicians and authors for young people in Sanlian Bookstore, talks with diplomats for people interested in international affairs in Wangfujing Xinhua bookstore, and a 12-hour late-night reading marathon for night owls at One-Way Space bookstore.
Recently, we conducted a survey about how many extra-curricular books students read per year. On average, each student read 5.34 books, which is definitely not adequate compared with their
15
counterparts from the Western countries. It is upsetting to see the outcome. When asked what students in our school do in their spare time, they claim that they tend to watch TV and surf the Internet, for they can have great fun. Some students even complain that they are forced to attend some extra make-up classes so that they have no time to play, not to mention reading books.
School authority is planning to launch a campaign to encourage students to read more extra-curricular books.

书面表达
With World Book Day drawing, various activities are held in Beijing to highlight the importance of book reading. But a recent survey shows students prefer to watch TV or surf the Internet rather than read books.
The survey sets me thinking why fewer students choose to read books in their spare time. There are some reasons accounting for this phenomenon. First of all, most students are burdened with too much homework. Still others haven’t formed a habit of reading. They would rather spend their spare time on TV or the Internet for fun.
However, reading has many benefits. Through reading we can learn more about the world. Besides, it can help us think better. Last but not least, reading can make our life more colourful.
I think teachers are supposed to limit the amount of our homework so that we can have more time to read. For another, it’s a good idea to form reading clubs and learn from each other.

W: Did you see the late night film on television yesterday?
M: The one on Channel 8?
W: No, on Channel 5. It was about a couple who hitchhiked across the Sahara desert.
M: No, I didn't. Was it good?
W: Well, it was quite good, I suppose, but all those miles of sand did get a bit boring after a while. I think I prefer horror films to travel stories or love stories.
M: I went out for a meal with my friends, and they took me to a Greek res taurant.
W: Sounds unusual! What was the food like?
M: Actually, I quite liked it.
W: I'm not keen on foreign food myself. I'd rather stick to roast beef or just fish and chips.
M: Yes. I notice you always eat chips! Don't you ever get sick of chips?
W: No, never. In fact, I'd rather eat chips than bread.
M: Well, I prefer trying new food to eating the same old things day after day.
W: I see, so you won't be coming to the cafe at lunch time with me, then. You'd rather eat on your own, right?
M: Well...

There are many ways to solve personal problems. If you are unhappy about something, face it, for no one else will pay attention to your problems and help you out. Try to state the problem in a few words, so that you will know exactly what you are against. Then see if you can “put your finger” on the cause of your unhappiness. Try direct attack. In many cases, we only “think” there is no solution to a particular problem. But often we can overcome the problem and achieve the goal by making a direct attack. Thirdly, make sure you have a reasonable goal. Although direct
15
attack is often the best way to meet problems, we have to be realistic in judging situation. Sometimes it is necessary to change either the methods or the goal. It is also important to study the situation and make a wise decision about what to do. Anyway, however serious a problem you may have, you should face it.
