European cities are known worldwide as popular tourist destinations (目的地). Every year, thousands of people go to cities like Venice and Amsterdam to learn about their history, experience their culture and just have fun. But some of the cities have been taking action to reduce the number of visitors.
Venice is known for its beautiful landmarks, such as St. Mark's Square. But people there say that the large cruise ships (游艇) that sail near the city center are ruining their appearance, according to The Telegraph.
Residents have complained that the “ugly” ships are much bigger than the local buildings. They make the area look strange, as well as damage the canals (运河). In response, the Italian government stopped cruise ships from sailing past St. Mark's Square last year.
In Amsterdam, the capital of the Netherlands, noisy tourists are unwelcome. The city has worked out plans to limit the number of tourists who can come to the city, the Daily Mail reported. Many residents believe that increasing tourism has brought more litter to the city's streets. It has also caused an increase in noise pollution.
Airbnb and other “home rentals” that are popular with tourists will face restrictions (限制), too. Fewer tourists will be able to stay in the city. “Beer bikes”, or multi-person bikes that have tables for drinking beer, will also be restricted. It is expected that getting rid of these bikes will make the city quieter and more peaceful for local residents.
( )58.Which of the following may not be the reason for the tourists to visit European cities
A.Learning about their history.
B.Experiencing their culture.
C.Ruining their appearance.
D.Just for fun.
( )59.What does the underlined word “ruining” mean

( )61.What is the major reason for Amsterdam to reduce its number of visitors
A.Limited resources.
B.Increasing noise pollution.
C.Damage to architecture.
D.Poor transportation.
( )62.What is the main idea of passage
A.How Venice and Amsterdam protect local people.
B.Some European cities are reducing their number of visitors.
C.How visitors have ruined local people's lives.
D.Why visitors are unwelcome in other countries.

The plants and animals by the lake have enough food and clean water to keep themselves healthy. The wind carries pure air, and the rain comes down clear and clean.
But recently, the lake and her friends haven't been feeling very well. All the plants and animals got together to talk about the problem, but they didn't have a solution.
Just then two hikers (徒步旅行者) appeared. The plants and animals told them about their problem. “I think it's because of acid rain (酸雨). Acid rain comes from chemicals in the air. The chemicals come from factories, cars and trucks,” one hiker said.
“So, although I don't want to, I help the chemicals travel through the air!” said the wind. “And I carry the chemicals to the land!” cried the rain.
With the help of the plants and animals, the two hikers made a list of ideas for saving the lake and her friends. Time passed, and the environment there became better.
The second time the two hikers came to the lake, they smiled at what they found. “We're glad that things have started to change,”one hiker said. “And we're glad you helped us make a difference,” said the other.
( )63.What has nothing to do with the acid rain
A.The rain. B.The human being.
C.The wind. D.The plants.
( )64.The underlined word “pure” can be replaced (替换) by “ ”.
A.polluted B.cold
C.clean D.cool
( )65.How many times have the two hikers been to the lake
A.Once. B.Twice.
C.Three times. D.Four times.
( )66.What does the underlined word “you” in the last paragraph refer to
A.The lake.
B.The plants and animals.
C.One hiker.
D.The wind and the rain.
( )67.Which of the following is NOT true
A.The wind and the rain cause the pollution.
B.Human activities are the main cause of acid rain.
C.Acid rain can make living things sick.
D.The two hikers were glad to see the changes.
D
People across the world need to get moving, according to a new study by the World Health Organization (WHO).
About 25 percent of adults do not get enough exercise, according to the study. This figure (数字) hasn't changed from 2001. Because of this, about 1.4 billion people are at greater risk for deadly diseases such as heart disease and cancer.
People should do at least 150 minutes of “moderate intensity (中等强度)” exercise each week, such as dancing or swimming. They can also do 75 minutes of “vigorous intensity (高强度)” activities, such as running or playing soccer, according to the WHO.
As for how to exercise more, experts suggest we don't have to go to the gym every time, the Guardian noted. For example, we can go up and down stairs a lot instead of taking the lift. If we don't feel we can go to a dancing class each week, standing on one leg for 30 seconds a day is very good too.
The study also found that women are less active than men, with 32 percent of women fail to exercise enough, compared to 23 percent of men. Women tend to spend more time at home taking care of children and doing housework, Time noted.
Countries with higher incomes showed higher rates of inactivity (静止). For example, people in Kuwait and the United States exercise less than people in Uganda and Nepal. This is partly because in developed areas, desk jobs have taken the place of manual labor (体力劳动).
( )68.How many people get enough exercise, according to the WHO
A.25 percent of adults.
B.1.4 billion people.
C.150 million people.
D.75 percent of adults.
( )69.Which of the following is a “vigorous intensity” activity
A.Taking care of children.
B.Doing housework.
C.Running.
D.Sleeping.
( )70.What does the underlined word “this” in the second paragraph refer to
A.not getting enough exercise.
B.hard work.
C.sleeping too much.
D.getting too much exercise.
( )71.Which of the following is TRUE, according to the WHO
A.People get cancer because they don't exercise enough.
B.Playing soccer is a moderate intensity exercise.
C.Men are more active than women.
D.People in rich countries are less likely to exercise.
( )72.What would be the best title for the passage
A.The World Health Organization
B.Women Are Less Active
C.Do Manual Labor
D.Stay Active and Stay Fit

There is a Chinese idiom “tao li man tian xia”, referring to a teacher who has taught so many students that they spread across the country like peach and plum trees. 73.
The idiom comes from Zizhi, an official (大臣) who lived in the State of Wei during the Spring and Autumn Period (BC 770—BC 476). 74. But he was not well welcomed by the king at the time, so he had to leave his state. To make a living, he opened a private school and started to teach students.
75. He chose students regardless of (不论) their wealth or social status (社会地位). He often pointed at a peach and a plum tree in his yard when asking his students to work hard. “You should become a useful person and do work to benefit the society, just like when the peach and plum trees bloom and yield fruit,” he said.
76. And they went on to different places around the country, achieving great things along the way. They would plant peach and plum trees to show their respect for their teacher.
When Zizhi traveled around the country and saw his students and the trees they planted, he was very pleased. “77. They are everywhere, and they have achieved great results.”
Since then, “peach and plum trees” has been used to refer to students who have been successful in their post-study careers.
A.They planted peach and plum trees to get some fruit at first.
B.As a teacher, Zizhi was kind and wise.
C.The Chinese idiom is welcomed by teachers and students.
D.Why are students compared to these two types of trees
E.My students are like peach and plum trees.
F.Zizhi was a knowledgeable person.
G.Many of Zizhi's students kept these words in their minds.

One Possible Version:
Dear teachers and students,
A clean environment can help people feel happy and healthy. But now our environment has become worse and worse. So how can we help protect it Here are some ways.
First, we should drive less. We can go to school or work on foot or by bus as often as possible. It can not only protect the environment, but also is good for our health. Second, we are supposed to sort the rubbish into different groups because some can be reused or recycled. Third, we had better plant more trees, one tree a year at least. What's more, stop littering! If necessary, put things you don't need in the bin.
There's a lot for us to do to help the environment. I think if everyone does something, our environment will become better and better.
