Some travelers go to see battlefields or religious shrines. Others are looking for culture, or simply want to have their photos taken in front of famous places. But most Europeans 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 is in the rain. Every summer, more than 25 million people travel to Mediterranean (地中海) 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. Italys 30,000 hotels are booked every summer. And 13 million people camp out on French Beaches, parks, and roadsides. Spains 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, its getting worse. The French cant 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 damaging anyones fun. The Mediterranean gets more popular every year with tourists. Obviously, they dont go there for clean water. They stand traffic jams and seem to like crowded beaches. They dont even mind the pollution. No matter how dirty the water is, the coastline still looks beautiful. And as long as the sun shines, its still better than sitting in the cold rain in Berlin, London, or else.21.

A. they are not good cities in climate.B. how rich their residents are.C. these cities lack places of historic interest and tourist spots.D. they have got more tourism than they can handle.23. According to the passage, which of the following countries attracts more tourists than the others? A. ItalyB. Spain C. France D. Greece24.

Your English is progressing well, the grammar is now familiar, the reading comprehension is no problem, and you are speaking quite fluently. _36First of all, remember that you are not alone. Listening is probably the most difficult job for almost all learners of English as a foreign language. The most important thing is to listen as often as possible. _37_The Internet is really a useful tool for English students. You can download The RealPlayer from RealM. The RealPlayer allows you to use the Internet like a radio station. Once you have begun to listen on a regular basis, you might still be frustrated (受阻)by limited understanding. _38_ Here is some of the advice I give my students:Accept the fact that you are not going to understand everything.Stay relaxed when you do not understand, and try listening to the material for more times. Do not translate everything into your native language. _39_ Dont concentrate on details before you have understood the main ideas. Listen to something you enjoy. I remember the problems I had in understanding spoken German when I first went to Germany. In the beginning, when I didnt understand a word, I insisted on translating it in my mind. This method usually resulted in confusion. 40 Firstly, translating creates a barrier between the listener and the speaker. Secondly, most people repeat themselves constantly. By remaining calm, I noticed that even if I didnt pay much attention I could usually understand what the speaker had said. A. But you cant follow a native English speaker at all! B. What should you do? C. But listening is a problem for most of the beginners!D. However, after several weeks, I got used to the new environment in Germany.E. So, what you need to do is to find listening resources.F. Then, after the first six months, I discovered two extremely important facts.G. Listen for the general idea of the conversation.第三部分基础学问应用(共两节，满分35分)第一节 完形填空（共20题；每小题1分，满分20分）阅读下面短文，把握其大意，从每题所给的A，四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将其涂黑。A lady wanted a birthday gift from her husband.
