Ⅱ.阅读理解
A
People travel for a lot of reasons. Some tourists go to see battlefields or religious shrines. Others are looking for culture, or simply want to have their pictures taken in front of famous places. But most European tourists are looking for a sunny beach to lie on.
Northern European are willing to pay a lot of money and put up with a lot of inconveniences for the sun because they have so little of it. Residents of cities like London, Copenhagen, and Amsterdam spend a lot of their winter in the dark because the days are so short, and much of the rest of the year in the rain. This is the reason the Mediterranean has always attracted them. Every summer, more than 25 million people travel to Mediterranean resorts and beaches for their vacation. They all come for the same reason: sun!
The huge crowds mean lots of money for the economies of Mediterranean
countries. Italy's 30，000 hotels are booked solid every summer. And 13 million people camp out on French beaches, parks and roadsides. Spain's long sandy coastline attracts more people than anywhere else. 37 million tourists visit yearly, or_one_tourist_for_every_person_living_in_Spain.
But there are signs that the area is getting more tourism than it can handle. The Mediterranean is already one of the most polluted seas on earth. And with
increased tourism, it's getting worse. The French can't figure out what to do with
all the garbage left by campers around St Tropez. And in many places, swimming is dangerous because of pollution.
None of this, however, is spoiling anyone's fun. The Mediterranean gets more popular every year with tourists. Obviously, they don't go there for clean water and solitude. They tolerate traffic jams and seem to like crowded beaches. They don't even mind the pollution. No matter how dirty the water is, the coastline still looks beautiful. And as long as the sun shines, it's still better than sitting in the cold rain in Berlin, London, or Oslo.

A．to show that they are not good cities in terms of geography and climate B．to tell us how wealthy their residents are
C．to suggest that these cities lack places of historic interest and scenic beauty
D．to prove that they have got more tourism than they can handle

If you were walking around a supermarket and saw a woman with a shaved head, a ring through her nose, a tattoo design on her arm and she has a small child in her shopping trolley,_what would your opinion be? Do you think this kind of body decoration is attractive or ugly? Different people have different ideas. The following are some examples of body decoration from around the world.
In many parts of Africa, it is thought that an attractive girl should have really shiny skin.
On Bali, a little island in Indonesia, they believe that a beautiful woman or handsome man must have perfectly straight, flat teeth. The Balinese believe that teeth with pointed edges make you look like an ugly wild animal. So when a girl or boy becomes a teenager, he or she is taken to a special person in their village
who will file off teeth points to make them smooth and flat. There is no
anesthetic (麻药) and this tooth filing is really painful. It is a kind of test. If you can stand it without screaming or crying too much, then you are thought ready to become an adult.
In Myanmar, there is a small group of people who are called the “Papaung”. They believe that a woman can only be really beautiful if she has a long neck. I mean a very long neck. Now you might think that you are either born with a long or short neck and that there's nothing whatever you can do about it. But you would be wrong! At around the age of 5, a Papaung girl has heavy metal rings fitted around her neck, tightly between the chin and shoulders. Each year more rings are added and very, very slowly their weight pushes the shoulders down, in this way making the neck look longer. A Papaung woman will wear her neck rings all her life, never once taking them off.
So now I'm sure you will all agree that different people have different ideas about what is beautiful.
16．What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 1? A．Women's design. B．Beautiful body decoration. C．Attractive decoration. D．Body decoration.
17．What does the underlined word “trolley” mean? A．Handbag. B．Luggage.
C．Shopping cart. D．Basket.
18．On Bali, it is believed that ________. A．a person with sharp teeth looks ugly
B．a person with straight, flat teeth looks ugly
C．a teenager's teeth points must be filed off with anesthetic
D．no one will scream or cry when having his/her teeth points filed off 19．Which of the following is NOT true?
A．Most African people think that a girl with shiny skin is beautiful. B．Many people think that a woman with a ring through nose is neither attractive nor ugly.
C．It is thought that a beautiful woman should have straight, flat teeth on Bali.
D．Some people think it beautiful that a woman has a long neck in Myanmar. 20．What is the best title of the passage? A．Who is a beautiful woman? B．What is beautiful?
C．Different ideas about decoration D．Body decoration Ⅲ.读写任务

Recently, in Jiangsu Province, the cover of a fourth-grade language textbook was printed with the word Pok Oi (博爱) Hospital. The cover of the book is the scene of several children nursing flowers, the background is a building printed with Red Cross, and above the floor of the building are four big characters of the Pok Oi Hospital. In the textbook, on page 76, are assignments about the fight against SARS, beneath which is the same cover illustration (插图)．
It is reported that the Pok Oi Hospital is a private hospital. As for the ad, many parents showed their anger，“Such hospital ads like this shouldn't be implanted (植入) in the textbooks. It will mislead the pupils.”
However, the creator of the cover illustrations, professor of Jiangsu
Education Arts College explained, “The textbook contains a text which is about the deeds of Ye Xin who has sacrificed for the treatment of SARS patients. So this illustration is used to promote the human love and the name is created in the SARS context of carrying forward the great love, not the reality of Pok Oi Hospital.”
His explanation didn't satisfy the parents. The whole thing is just like a stone arousing layer waves.

A hospital advertisement appearing in the textbook made parents angry and caused a heated argument, though the creator explained that the illustration is not an ad for a hospital but shows the human love.
As we can see, with the development of the economy, advertisements can be seen everywhere, even on the students' uniforms or in the textbooks, which is really annoying.
Concerning advertisements implanted in the textbooks, people show their worry that this action will mislead the students and the adverts will persuade people to buy what they don't need or even have an effect on their consuming habits.
As far as I am concerned, I disapprove of the action, because it, to some degree, does damage to the pure land—the campus, where students are being
educated to form the right concept about the world. And in the pupils' opinion, the textbooks are standard ones, so they will consider everything in them,
including the advertisements, good and right. It will more or less cause the
students to buy the goods or visit the places appearing in the advertisements. In the long run, they will develop a deficient concept about consuming.
So I hope the government will take some strict measures to stop this happening again to protect the youngsters.
