Section Ⅰ　Reading and Thinking (1)阅读理解。第一节AVermont (佛蒙特州) lies in the northeast of America. Each fall, people travel to Vermont to see the colourful autumn leaves. In winter, people come to ski in the mountains. In the warmer months, they go on river-rafting trips and enjoy camping and other outdoor activities.Only about 600,000 people live in Vermont. That makes it the second least-populated state in America after Wyoming (怀俄明州). And the state is small not just in population. Vermont is 45th out of the 50 states in territory (领土). It has just 24,000 square kilometres of land. In addition, it has almost 950 square kilometres covered by water. Along the northern border of Vermont is the Canadian province of Quebec. Vermont is bordered by Massachusetts on the south, New Hampshire on the east and New York on the west.What Vermont lacks in size, it makes up for in beauty. It is known as the Green Mountain State. The name comes from the Green Mountains, which divide the state up and down the centre. In fact, the name Vermont comes from the French “verd mont,” meaning green mountain. A century ago, forests covered less than one-third of Vermont. Trees were being cut down for farmland. That has changed. Today forests cover more than three-fourths of the state.The capital of Vermont is Montpelier, in the centre of the state. But the largest city is Burlington, on the shores of Lake Champlain. Lake Champlain and the Champlain Valley are in the northwestern part of Vermont.Dairy farming (乳品业) is the pillar industry (支柱产业) in Vermont. But the travel industry and manufacturing (制造业) are also major employers.1. What does the text mainly talk about?A. Some suggestions about visiting Vermont.B. Some information about Vermont.C.

It was ridiculously beautiful in Majorca, Spain. The way the sun danced across the water and how the blue horizon was dotted with storybook sailboats were such beautiful scenes.My husband and I always dreamed about taking our kids on a trip around the world. It was one of the things we talked at length about, when we imagined our life with the children we hoped we would have.Fourteen years later, we had three boys who were growing up faster by the day. It was time to make good on those plans. We renewed our passports, and then packed our bags. We showed our kids the world. It was about experiencing the dozens of flights, trains and taxis together. We showed them how wonderful, how diverse, and how fascinating the world is. We wanted them to learn all that we had learned ourselves, through our own travels. But there was something more than that: What we really wanted is to slow down time. We wanted the days to last a bit longer, and the weeks to take their time. The years with our children are going too fast. We wanted to put the brakes on our busy lives for a year, and just be with our kids. We wanted a break from the daily morning routine of making lunches, eating breakfast and rushing out of the door in time for school. We needed a family time out.It was a wonderful two months in Europe, full of incredible moments. When we look back at our lives, I know we’ll be glad we did it. I know we’ll be happy that this is a chapter of the story of our family.5. What did the couple often dream of fourteen years ago?A. Going to the Mediterranean.B. Travelling with their children.C.

The children.C. The transportation.D. The diverse world.解析:段落大意题。根据第三段的内容可知,该段主要介绍了实行旅游计划,和三个孩子一起去旅游的情况。故选A。答案:A8. What was the most important in the writer’s eyes?A. Doing everything slowly.B. Living a busy life.C. Sticking to the routine.D.
