第二节 阅读理解

A

Spain's tourism industry is looking to Chinese tourists for its high-end market, according to Rafael Cascales, president of the Spain-China Tourism Association （ATEC）. “It is the kind of tourism that is not only interested in the sun, beach and the “all-included” culture. They enjoy culture, wine, history and nature, and the new Chinese tourists would also want to spend more money in Spain," said Cascales in a recent interview with Xinhua.

“They are younger, more women travel and they are more cosmopolitan （见多识广的）.They also travel on their own or in couples or in smaller groups. The old-fashioned large groups of visitors have not disappeared, but this new form of traveling is becoming more important,55 he said.

Speaking of the consumption pattern of the new kind of Chinese tourists, Cascales said, “The money they spend is distributed better because they will book one flight with one airline, the hotel with another company and the restaurant with another." In his eyes, “Chinese tourists are very important because they combine two things: there are a large number of them and they spend more money than anyone else --- almost four times more than tourists from other countries." They not only travel abroad in the summer months when Spain has to compete with the sun and beaches in countries such as Turkey and Egypt, but also travel in the off-peak seasons of a year, according to Cascales.

In 2017, Spain is the second most popular tourist destination in the world, only after France. It attracted about 82 million visitors, 700,000 of them from China, a number which is estimated to rise to about 2.2 million by 2022.

“We are ready; we have the infrastructure （基础设施）at every level, especially in hotel capacity. Here those visitors can find what they are looking for, including the luxury items which distinguish them," Cascales noted.

1. What are the features of the new Chinese tourists according to Cascales?

A. They are cautious about spending money in Spain.

B. They are likely to travel in smaller groups now.

C. They are only interested in the sun and beach.

D. They are mainly male visitors of middle age.

2. What can we learn about the consumption pattern of new Chinese tourists?

A. They will reserve flights and hotels with different companies.

B. They will spend less money than tourists from other countries.

C. They will travel abroad only during the off-peak seasons.

D. They will spend the money in different cities.

3. What is done to meet the demands of Chinese tourists?

A. Local cultures in Spain are promoted.

B. Well-furnished hotels are provided.

C. Best and expensive items are offered for free.

D. More shopping sites are constructed.

4. What is the purpose of this text?

A. To introduce the tourism industry of Spain.

B. To show Spain's desire to attract Chinese tourists.

C. To describe the features of Chinese tourists.

D. To advertise Spain as a top tourist destination.

The majority of respondents （受访者）said cleaning gave them a sense of accomplishment （65%）and helped them clear their mind （63%）. Half of these adults said they are most often motivated to clean when they're happy.

More than any other room, the kitchen was rated as “very difficult55 to cope with. And most people enjoy cleaning their toilet or taking out the garbage more than washing dishes by hand.

How do they get through it? 66% listen to music while they clean. 72% have a best-loved song that they sounded while tidying up their home, with “Uptown Funk,"“Read All About It" and "Work" being the three favorite tunes on America's cleaning playlist.

第三节  读后续写

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

Jim slumped on the couch. Mother's Day was coming up, and he didn't have a present. “How can I buy a present without any money？” he thought.

Jim picked up the newspaper that was lying on the couch. He noticed a large advertisement on the front page. The local department store was sponsoring a contest. “Tell us why your mom is special and win a shopping spree (疯狂购物) for her，” said the ad.

“This is perfect！” thought Jim. He ran to his room with the newspaper. Taking a pencil and a blank piece of paper from his desk, he started to write.

“My mom is the best mother in the world. She always makes a lunch for me to take to school, and she never forgets my dessert. She reads as many books to me before bed as I want. She always remembers to check under the bed for monsters. And she gives the best hug, but never in front of my friends, who would laugh at me for hugging my mom.”

Jim liked what he had written. He copied it neatly and got an envelope and a stamp from his dad. He ran to the mailbox with his entry (参赛作品). “Mom will love having a shopping spree，” he thought.

Jim checked the mailbox every day for his prize. Days passed by, and then weeks. Soon it was the day before Mother's Day. Jim still hadn't heard anything about the contest.

“What am I going to do now？” he wondered. He didn't have a present, and he didn't have a shopping spree, and he still didn't have any money. He had to think of something. Jim closed his eyes and curled his toes and thought so hard that his ears hurt.

注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；

2．请按如下格式作答。

Paragraph 1：

Suddenly he had an idea.　

Paragraph 2：

The next morning Jim handed his present to his mom.

Paragraph 1：

Suddenly he had an idea. He fumbled in his drawers and fortunately found a piece of delicate and fragrant paper. He sat down straight on his chair, and began to write a letter in his best handwriting as a Mother's Day present. “Dear mom, I'm writing this to tell you that you are the best mother in the world ...” With a sincere heart, Jim finished the letter and sealed it in an envelope, his lips curving into a smile.

Paragraph 2：

The next morning Jim handed his present to his mom. Finishing reading the letter, his mom swept him into her arms with her eyes wet as if she wanted to squeeze the breath out of him. “Thank you, my dear！” She sniffled, hugging Jim more tightly. Leaning against his mother's shoulder, Jim slowly explained why he chose to write a letter as a gift. After hearing the reason, his mom gently combed her fingers through his hair, saying, “To me, your letter is better than a thousand shopping sprees.” Hugging each other, they felt delighted as if they were in possession of everything. Indeed， love should be made known to loved ones．
