27、ast National Day holiday saw upwards of half a billion Chinese citizens travelling. While some flew off to international destinations, the _41_ majority enjoyed the many tourist sites that China has to offer. If you were one of those people who decided to explore Chinas scenic spots, you probably re
28、alized that it isnt just the mountain steps that are steep-the entrance fees are, too!The average cost of the highest _42_ 5A attractions is 109 yuan. This could prove to be a little too steep for some families, who find themselves spending too large a portion of their holiday budget on admission ti
29、ckets. The 32 5A locations that upped their prices in the past five years experienced an average _43_ of over 40 percent. The bad news is that these prices are expected to continue to rise. So how does Chinas situation compare to other parts of the world? The average fees for cultural and historical
30、 sites seem to be on par with(与同价) international _44_ Its quite another story, however, when you compare natural wonders. For example, the cost of a ticket to Zhangjiajie National Forest Park(张家界国家森林公园) hovers around 245 yuan for a three-day tour. This seems _45_ high when you consider that a week l
31、ong pass to Americas Yellowstone National Park (黄石国家公园)is a mere 74 yuan. here are _46_ benefits to increased revenue(收益) from ticket sales, which support necessary _47_ , maintenance and operation costs. This is especially important for sites that must keep visitor numbers down in order to protect
32、the natural environment. However, it must also be _48_ that many of Chinas tourist attractions are operated by private companies who are ultimately protecting their bottomline(盈亏底线).While the government has put some _49_ in place, such as only allowing entrance fees to be raised once every three yea
33、rs, they have not _50_ the upper limit of ticket prices and increases. Further measures to settle the dispute are being considered. In the meantime, some families are forced to re-think if some attractions are really worth the costs.III. Reading Comprehension Section A Directions For each blank in t
34、he following passages there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.The continuous presentation of frightening stories about global warming in the popular media makes us unnecessarily frightened. Even worse, it _51_ our ki
35、ds.Al Gore famously _52_ how a sea-level rise of 20 feet would almost completely flood Florida, New York, Holland, and Shanghai, even though the United Nations says that such a thing will not even happen, _53_ that sea levels will rise 20 times less than that.When _54_ with these exaggerations（夸大）,
36、some of us say that they are for a good cause, and surely there is no harm done if the result is that we focus even more on tackling climate change.This _55_ is astonishingly wrong. Such exaggerations do plenty of harm. Worrying excessively about global warming means that we worry less about other t
37、hings, where we could do so much more good. We focus, _56 _, on global warmings impact on malaria (疟疾)-which will put slightly more people at _57_ in 100 years - instead of tackling the half a billion people _58_from malaria today with prevention and treatment policies that are much cheaper and dram
38、atically more effective than carbon reduction would be.Exaggeration also wears out the publics _59_to cope with global warming. If the planet is certain to be destroyed owing to global warming, people wonder, why do anything? A record 54% of American voters now believe the news media make global war
39、ming appear worse than it really is. A _60_ of people now believe incorrectly that global warming is not even caused by humans.But the _61_ cost of exaggeration, I believe, is the unnecessary alarm that it causes particularly among children. An article in The Washington Post cited nine-year-old Alys
40、sa, who cries about the possibility of mass animal _62_ from global warming.The newspaper also reported that parents are _63_effective outlets for their eight-year-olds concern with dying polar bears. They might be better off educating them and letting them know that, _64_ to common belief, the glob
41、al polar bear population has doubled over the past half- century, to about 22,000. _65_ the possible disappearing of summer Arctic ice, polar bears will not become extinct.51.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best acco
45、rding to the information given in the passage you have just readAAre some people born clever, and others born stupid? Or is intelligence developed by ourenvironment and our experience? Strangely enough, the answer to these questions is yes. Tosome extent our intelligence is given to us at birth, and
46、 no amount of education can make a geniusout of a child born with low intelligence. On the other hand, a child who lives in a boring environment will develop his intelligence less than one who lives in rich and varied surroundings. Thus the limits of persons intelligence are fixed at birth, whether
47、or not he reaches those limits will depend on his environment. This view, now held by most experts, can be supported in a number of ways. It is easy to show that intelligence is to some extent something we are born with. The closer the blood relationship between two people, the closer they are likely to be int
