16、any people hate the idea of having to sleep on a plane. But Swedish entrepreneur Oscar Dios thinks they can be persuaded otherwise and he has created a new kind of hostel to prove it.Dios says it is the words first jumbo (unusually large) jet hostel, an actual jet-plane at Swedens main airport outsi

17、de Stockholm which has been changed into a 25- room guesthouse that sleeps as many as 72 people.“I learned about this plane that was standing deserted at Arlanda airport and Ive been trying the concept of hostels in many different houses and buildings,”he told Reuters, “I thought, Why not a plane?”J

18、umbo Hostels opened for business on Thursday, giving customers the chance to check in and sleep in a room that can best be described as comfortable.“The most challenging part with this project is trying to build something inside a metal hullits just really, really tight.”The jet, which was originall

19、y produced for Singapore Airlines, was taken out of service in 2002. It is held on a concrete foundation with the landing gear secured in steel cradles.One feature of the hostel is its pricea room starts at 350 Swedish crowns (about $ 41), which is a lot less than hotel rooms outside of major airpor

20、ts.Another feature is that customers can get married on the wing of the plane and stay in the planes more luxurious honeymoon suite.Instead of walking down the aisle in the church, lovebirds can take what Jumbo Hostels calls the “wing walk”, where they can be joined in great happiness at the wing ti

21、p. The hostel has someone ready to perform the ceremony.But in some respects this hostel remains a planemost customers have to share the jets nine bathrooms and the staff only wear air host and hostess outfits. The only room that has its own bathroom is the honeymoon suite.24. Which of the following

22、 is NOT true?A. The jet plane got retired from use in 2002.B. The hostel provides nine bathrooms for customers.C. The rooms in the hotel are comfortable.D. The hostel lies at Arlanda airport in Stockholm.25. One of the features of the plane hostel is that .A. air hostesses can offer good serviceB. a

23、 wedding ceremony can be held on the wing C. customers can sleep in comfortable rooms D. the staff can have a “wing walk”26. Why does Oscar Dios make jet plane hotel?A. Because he is fond of plane very much.B. Because he is very curious.C. Because he wants to earn more money.D. Because he likes tryi

24、ng the concept of hotel in many different things.27. The writer mainly wants to .A. call on people to make use of the deserted thingsB. describe a wonderful place for weddingsC. introduce a new kind of hostel D. prove people can sleep on a plane CI had an experience some years ago, which taught me s

25、omething about the ways in which people make a bad situation worse by blaming themselves. One January, I had to hold two funerals on successive days for two elderly women in my community. Both had died “ full of years”, as the Bible would say. Their homes happened to be near each other, so I paid co

26、ndolence(吊唁) calls on the two families on the same afternoon. At the first home, the son of the deceased(已故的)woman said to me, “If only I had sent my mother to Florida and gotten her out of this cold and snow, she would be alive today. Its my fault that she died.” At the second home, the son of the

27、other deceased woman said, “If only I hadnt insisted on my mothers going to Florida, she would be alive today.That long airplane ride, the sudden change of climate, was more than she could take. Its my fault that shes dead.” You see that any time there is a death, the survivors will feel guilty. Bec

28、ause the course of action they took turned out bad, they believe that the opposite course would have turned out better. After all, how could it have turned out any worse? There seem to be two elements involved in our willingness to feel guilty. The first is our pressing need to believe that the worl

29、d makes sense, that there is a cause for every effect and a reason for everything that happens that leads us to find patterns and connections both where they really exist and where they exist only in our minds.The second element is the view that we are the cause of what happens , especially the bad

30、things that happen. It seems to be a short step from believing that every event has a cause to believe that every disaster is our fault. The roots of this feeling may lie in our childhood. A baby comes to think that the world exists to meet his needs, and that he makes everything happen in it. He wa

31、kes up in the morning and summons the rest of the world to its tasks. He cries, and someone comes to attend to him. When he is hungry, people feed him, and when he is wet, people change him. Very often, we do not completely outgrow that childish view that our wishes cause things to happen.28. The au

32、thor had to conduct the two womens funerals probably because _.A. he wanted to comfort the two familiesB. he was an official from the communityC. he had great pity for the deceasedD. he was minister of the local church29. People feel guilty for the deaths of their loved ones because _.A. they couldn

33、t find a better way to express their sorrowB. they believe that they were responsibleC. they had neglected the natural course of eventsD. they didnt know things often turn in the opposite direction30. According to the passage, the underlined part in paragraph 4 probably means that_.A. everything in

34、the world is predeterminedB. the world can be explained in different waysC. there is an explanation for everything in the worldD. we have to be sensible in order to understand the world31. Whats the idea of the passage?A. Life and death is an unsolved mystery.B. Every story should have a happy endin

35、g.C. Never feel guilty all the time because not every disaster is our fault.D. In general, the survivors will feel guilty about the people who passed away.DUp to 90% of school leavers in major Asian cities are suffering from myopiashort-sightedness, a study suggests. Researchers say the “extraordina

36、ry rise” in the problem is being caused by students working very hard in school and missing out on outdoor light.Eye experts say that you are short-sighted if your vision is blurred(模糊的) beyond 2m. It is often caused by an elongation (拉抻)of the eyeball that happens when people are young. According t

37、o the research, the problem is being caused by a combination of factorsa commitment to education and lack of outdoor light.Professor Morgan who led this study argues that many children in South East Asia spend long hours studying at school and doing their homework. This in itself puts pressure on th

38、e eyes, but exposure to between two and three hours of daylight helps maintain healthy eyes.Cultural factors also seem to play a part. Across many parts of South East Asian children often have a lunchtime nap. According to Professor Morgan they are missing out on natural light to prevent short-sight

39、edness.A big concern is the numbers of the students suffering from “high” myopia. One in five of these students could experience severe visual impairment(障碍)and even blindness. These people are at considerable risk-sometimes people are not told about it and are just given more powerful glasses-they

40、need to be warned about the risk and given some self-testing measures so they can get to an ophthalmologist and get some help.For decades, researchers believed there was a strong genetic component to the condition. But this study strongly suggests an alternative view. “Any type of simple genetic exp

41、lanation just doesnt fit with that speed of change; gene pools just dont change in two generations. Whether its a purely environmental effect or an environmental effect playing a sensitive genome, it really doesnt matter, the thing thats changed is not the gene poolits the environment.”32. As is men

42、tioned above, which factor mainly results in students myopia in South East Asia?A. Genetic faults of the people. B. Elongation of the eyeball.C. The shortage of outdoor light. D. Lack of research into the problem.33. Which of the following statements do you think Professor Morgan agrees with?A. A lu

43、nchtime nap is helpful in reducing myopia.B. Glasses keep myopia from getting even worse.C. Its necessary to treat myopia with an operation.D. Its of vital importance to reduce educational pressure.34. Whats the main idea of the last paragraph?A. Gene remains the main cause of the long-standing prob

44、lem.B. The environment is to blame for the extraordinary rise in myopia.C. Short-sightedness has nothing to do with changes in gene pools.D. An environmental effect playing a sensitive genome counts.35. Whats the best way to take care of your eyes according to the passage?A. Equip the classroom with

45、 better lights.B. Look at the sun from time to time.C. Do eyes exercise regularly.D. Spend more time in the open air.第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。Third-Culture KidsDid you grow up in one culture, your parents came from another, and you are now living in a totally di

46、fferent country? If so, then you are a third-culture kid! The term “third-culture kid” (or TCK) was coined in the 1960s by Dr. Ruth. She first came across this phenomenon when she researched North American children living in India. Caught between two cultures, they form their very own. 36 About 90 p

47、ercent of them have a university degree, while 40 percent pursue a postgraduate or doctor degree. They usually benefit from their intercultural experience, which helps them to grow into successful academics and professionals. 37 In fact many hardships may arise from this phenomenon. A third-culture

48、kid may not be able to adapt themselves completely to their new surroundings as expected. Instead, they may always remain an outsider in different host cultures.Max, for example, experienced this fundamental feeling of strangeness throughout his life as a third-culture kid. 38 While this can be a wa

49、y to create a network of friends all around the world, it can be difficult for a third-culture kid like Max to maintain close friendships and relationships.For a third-culture kid, it is often easier to move to a new foreign country than to return to their “home” country. After living in Australia a

50、nd South Korea for many years, Louis finally returned to Turkey as a teenager. But she felt out of place when she returned to the country where she was born. 39 She did not share the same values as her friends even years after going back home. While a third-culture kid must let go of their identity

51、as a foreigner when he/she returns, the home country can prove to be more foreign than anything he/she came across before. The peer group they face does not match the idealized image children have of “home”. 40 As a part of the growing “culture”, TCKs may find it a great challenge for them to feel a

52、t home in many places. A. Yet being a third-culture kid is not always easy.B. In general, they often reach excellent academic results.C. This often makes it hard for them to form their own identity.D. However, their parents can help them see the opportunities of a mobile lifestyle.E. Their experienc

Additionally, making new friends and saying goodbye to old ones will at some point become routine for a third-culture kid.第
