Nothing can spoil a vacation quicker than losing your money or credit cards. A few simple steps before you head out of the door can help protect your cash, card and personal information while you’re traveling.
Paul Stephens, a policy analyst San Diego, notes that people spend a lot of time planning their trips, from buying guidebooks to finding just the right beach outfits（装备）.“But their eyes glaze（呆滞） over when the subject of keeping money safe comes up,” he said.
“Why not take a few minutes to do something that could probably save your vacation?” Stephens asked．“In most cases, they can go on your to-do list with‘ buy travel bags’ and everything else,” he added.
The top recommendation is to clean your wallet. Remove unnecessary credit cards and any other unneeded documents that could compromise（危及...的安全）your identity if lost or stolen while you’re on vocation.
Then make a photocopy of the cards you’ve decided to take along and keep it in a secure location with you（not in your wallet）or leave it with a trusted relative or friend back home. Then you will know who you need to contact and how to reach it if your wallet is missing.
“Travelers should never leave their wallets or any identifying documents in their hotel room when they’re not there,” he said.” Choose a hotel with a safe to keep your valuable things in. Or keep your wallet and documents with you at all times. ”

Over time, the custom of kissing developed as a way for adults to express their love and affection for one another. The roots of this form of affection can be traced back to primitive times, when mothers fondled their children, much as mothers do today.
Much later, in the sixth century, society apparently accepted the custom of kissing between adults as expression of their affection. Not surprisingly, France first accepted kissing in courtship (求爱).There, figure dancing was popular, and each dance was sealed with a kiss.
The custom of kissing swept from France through Europe to Russia, where Russian nobility loved to imitate the French. Eventually, the kiss was incorporated into marriage ceremonies, and today lip – locks couples into sweet matrimony.
The custom of kissing today, as well as in ancient times, serves to pay homage to another. For example, early Romans kissed each other on the mouth or on the eyes to greet one another in a manner they thought to be dignified (valued and respected). One Roman emperor even ranked a person’s importance by the body part he was allowed to kiss. He allowed important nobles to kiss his lips, less important ones to kiss his hands, and the least important ones to kiss his feet.
In Russia, the highest sign of recognition from the Crown meant kiss from the Tsar himself. Today, natives of many African tribes pay homage to their Chief by kissing the ground over which he has walked.
61．What’s mainly talked about in the passage?
A．The way to express love and respect.
B．The expression of affection.
C．The custom of kissing.
D．The function of kissing.
62．Which of the following can best explain the word “homage” in the fourth paragraph?
A．Recognition.      B．Respect.    C．Importance.       D．Appreciation.
63．It can be learned from the passage that kissing            .
A．is a widely accepted way to show love and affection
B．used to be a proper way to show love on wedding ceremonies
C．is a universally accepted way of greeting in the world
D．from the Tsar is a sign of being accepted from the Grown
64．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A．It was Russia that made the custom of kissing go to the whole world.
B．Early Africans kissed each other on the mouth or eyes to greet one another.
C．One Roman emperor allowed important nobles to kiss his nose.
D．Russian nobility followed the custom of kissing from the French.
65．We can infer from the passage that          .
A．mother developed the custom of kissing.
B．kissing means differently on different occasions
C．figure dancing was usually sealed with a kiss in Russia
D．society found it hard to accept kissing in public in the sixth century

There was once an 11-year-old boy who went fishing every time he went to an island in the middle of a New Hampshire lake.
On the day before bass(巴斯鱼) season opened, he and his father were fishing early in the evening, catching other fish with worms. Then he tied on a small silver lure(鱼饵) and put it into the lake. Suddenly the boy felt something very big pulling on the lure. His father watched with admiration as the boy skillfully brought the fish beside the bank. Finally he lifted the tired fish from the water. It was the largest one he had ever seen, but it was a bass.
The boy and his father looked at the big fish. The father lit a match and looked at his watch. It was 10 pm — two hours before the season opened．He looked at the fish, then at the boy.    “You’ll have to put it back, son,” he said．
“Dad!” cried the boy. “There will be other fish,” said his father. “Not as big as this one,” cried the boy. He looked around the lake. No other fishermen or boats could be seen in the moonlight. He looked again at his father.
Even though no one had seen them, nor could anyone ever know what time he had caught the fish, the boy could tell from his father’s voice that the decision couldn’t be changed．He threw the huge bass into the black water.
The big fish disappeared．The boy thought that he would never again see such a big fish.
That was 34 years ago. Today the boy is a successful architect in New York City. He often takes his own son and daughters to fish at the same place.
And he was right. He has never again caught such a large fish as the one he got that night long ago. But he does see that same fish ... again and again ... every time he has an ethical (道德的) decision to make. For, as his father had taught him, ethics are simple matters of right and wrong. It is only the practice of ethics that is difficult.
66．How did the father feel when he saw his son skillfully pulling a big fish out of the water?
A．Delighted．     B．Nervous.        C．Embarrassed．      D．Shocked．
67．What happened when it became clear that the big fish was a bass?
A．The boy and his father discussed what to do with the big fish.
B．The boy threw the bass back into the water willingly.
C．The father made a decision that the fish must be set free.
D．They worried other fishermen might know what they had done.
68．From the text we know that       .
A．the father didn’t love his son
B．the father always disagreed with his son
C．the father disliked the huge fish
D．the father was firm and stubborn 
69．The successful architect went fishing with his children at the same place because       .
A．they might catch a big fish there
B．he remembered the moral lesson from his father
C．he wanted to remember his father
D．their children enjoyed fishing there
70．What does the author want to show in the story?
A．It is easy to say something, but difficult to do.
B．An ethical decision is not difficult to make.
C．It is hard to tell right from wrong sometimes.
D．Fishing helps you to make right ethical decisions.

阅读表达（共5小题；每题3分，满分15分）
阅读下面短文，并根据要求完成文章后的题目。
When your family travels or is away from its usual eating and sleeping routines, probably someone will get sick. It can take time to adapt to the food, water and air in a new environment, and kids can be especially __________________________ travel-related problems, including motion sickness, diarrhea（腹泻），and infections（传染病）.
Motion sickness is caused by a disagreement between the eyes and ears: the inner ears notice movement. But the eyes, focused within a car or other vehicles, do not. These different signals coming into the brain cause a lot of problems such as sickness, dizziness, paleness, and cold sweats. Motion sickness often happens on ships and boats, but it can also affect kids when they travel in planes, buses, and cars. Here are some ways to help kids fight motion sickness:
★Before you leave, have your child eat a light meal, as motion sickness seems worse on an empty stomach. Provide foods that are easily digested and avoid fatty foods.
★Try to avoid eating during short trips. For longer trips, have a small amount of drinks and eat light, small meals and snacks.
★If your child is feeling sick, provide some mild foods, like crackers（超薄饼干）.
★Encourage kids to look outside the car, rather than inside. They should focus on still objects---not moving ones---or a far point.
★Keep the window open a little to allow fresh air in.
★Use a headrest to reduce head movement.
★Make frequent stops, if your child complains of feeling sick and it’s safe to stop, a short walk for some fresh air might help.
76．What is the best title for the passage?（with in 10 words）
__________                      _    ______________________________________
77．Which sentence in the passage can be replaced by the following one?
These mixed signals which enter the brain can lead to a series of illnesses such as sickness, dizziness, paleness, and cold sweats.
__________                      _    ______________________________________
78．Fill in the blanks in the first paragraph with proper words.（with in 10 words）
__________                     _    ______________________________________
79．Please give another suggestion to prevent motion sickness.（with in 30words）

80．Translation the underlined sentence into Chinese.

日常生活中我们经常可以看见一些乞丐在街上或地下人行通道乞讨。最近, 一些大城市如北京、上海等地通过法规禁止乞丐在地下人行通道行乞留宿。你们班就此事进行了讨论。请你根据以下讨论结果用英语写一篇短文。

46%的同学不同意这种政府行为。一些乞丐是生活所迫，不得不乞讨。他们有的是在地下人行道靠卖艺为生。社会应该帮助这些人。

54%的同学认为乞丐损害了城市形象，给城市造成许多麻烦。况且许多乞丐并不是丧失劳动力，而是由于懒惰利用别人的同情心。所以政府应禁止乞丐进入公共场所。

注意：1．短文的开头已给出，但不计入总词数；   
2．词数：120左右；
3．参考词汇：地下人行道 subway    同情心 compassion。
