A
The least-visited countries in the world
It’s every traveler’s dream — a corner of the planet still undisturbed by tourists. And obviously, such places do exist. The United Nations World Tourism Organization lately reported the four least-visited countries globally.
Montserrat (9,000
Once a popular holiday spot, this Lesser Antilles island has never quite recovered from a series of natural disasters. Hurricane Hugo in 1989 hit 90 per cent of the island and in 1995 the Soufriere Hills volcano erupted.
These days, its volcano is now actually one of Montserrat’s main attractions, along with its beautiful beaches. Visitors can also go diving in its clear waters.
Comoros (24,000
This collection of islands in the Indian Ocean near Madagascar serves as the perfect destination for those who want to get away from everyday city life.
Comoros offers beautiful volcanic scenery, fruitful forests, and remote sleepy towns. There are even some of the best undiscovered reefs (礁 just waiting to be explored by divers.
Liechtenstein (69,000
The sixth smallest country in the world is also one of the most undiscovered.





Lying between Austria and Switzerland, Liechtenstein is an outdoor enthusiast’s playground. It’s the only country in the world to be totally in the Alps and a summer destination for hiking and cycling and snow-covered skiing perfection in winter, for those who can afford it.
French Guiana (199,000
French Guiana is the least-visited country in South America, with some of the world’s most diverse plant and animal life.
While there is much to attract tourists to the area, not least its miles of jungle, the infrastructure (基础设施 is in need of some attention.
21. What do Montserrat and Comoros have in common? A. They have thick forests. B. They are destinations for divers.
C. They have recovered from natural disasters. D. They were badly destroyed by volcanic eruptions. 22. Which country is the best choice for snow skiing lovers? A. Montserrat. B. Comoros. C. Liechtenstein. D. French Guiana.
23. What do we know about French Guiana? A. It has a rich diversity of species. B. Its infrastructure is new and advanced. C. It is the least-visited country in the world. D. Its most popular attraction is large areas of jungle.

Rock band Dionysus have surprised many including themselves with their sudden success. After winning the Rock Awards at the Normandy Hotel last year, the five-member rock band is competing in the Raceview Hotel “Battle of the Bands” and is booked to perform at the launch (开幕式 of Disability Access Week at Jupiters Casino on 20 July.
Not bad for a band that has only played together a few times.





The band members are aged between 18 and 23 and consist of lead singer Tony Siciliano, drummer Michael Carmody, Joe Vanzutphen on lead guitar, Melissa Knight on base and Stephen Clarke who plays rhythm guitar.
When Stephen broke his back two years ago in a car accident, the road to rock fame had to be put on the backburner (先搁置一边.
“We started playing together about a year ago before Stephen's accident. It stops things for a while,” says Joe.
Stephen says recovery was a slow six-month process and changed the course of the band completely.
“The accident has changed my attitude towards life. It has given me more motivation towards the band. I want to make it a bit more now. I know what I want and I want to get it. ”
Tony says the crowd reactions to Stephen playing rhythm guitar in his wheelchair are always amazing.
“It's not a big issue but people seem to remember and they say it's amazing he gets up and does it and doesn't just give up,” he says.
“We don't look at him as having a disability at all. He just sits down while he's playing, and that's all. ”
Stephen said the first time he went on stage as a paraplegic (截瘫患者, he felt out of place, but quickly got back into the rhythm.
“We just make sure we don't trip over him and that he doesn't roll off the stage and we're fine,” says Tony.
Their music speaks for itself. They won the first rock gig (特约演奏 they ever entered and it was also only the third gig they had played together as a new band.
24. What do we know about the rock band Dionysus? A. It enjoyed global popularity. B. It topped the charts for a year. C. It started Disability Access Week. D. It succeeded without lots of practice. 25. What can be inferred about Stephen?





A. He lost his legs in a car crash. B. He didn't have great ambitions. C. He was the leader of the rock band. D. He didn't lose hope though being disabled.
26. What is the audience's reaction to Stephen's performance? A. They give him high praise. B. They take no notice of him. C. They worry about his health. D. They seem to have forgotten him. 27. What is the best title for the text? A. Back into the rhythm B. Dreaming big pays off C. Rock band makes history D. There's no life without direction
C
You know that Grandparents Day, taking place the Sunday after Labor Day every year, is a holiday for celebrating your parents’ parents. But how did the holiday come to be? Did it originate out of a sweet, sincere wish at heart ... or was it all a giant marketing plan to sell more goods?
It is, in fact, the former. When Marian McQuade first thought of the idea for the holiday, commercialism (商业主义 was the last thing on her mind. In 1956, McQuade was trying to plan a celebration for the elderly members of her community. She made the sad discovery that many of the senior citizens in the nursing home didn’t often receive visits from their families. So she set a day to appreciate grandparents.
In any case, McQuade never wanted the holiday to be a money grab. Mother’s Day actually has a similar story; in fact, its founder wanted it discontinued in the 1920s after she saw how commercialized it had become. However, it didn’t stop card companies from getting excited about the future of a new holiday. Hallmark predicted that, by 1983, Grandparents Day would become the sixth highest card-selling holiday. But to their disappointment, it never became a commercial holiday.





Many families have much more meaningful ways of celebrating the holiday. Danielle Kirsch celebrates by trying a new activity every year with her grandmother Elsie. “This year, we’ll be painting together,” she tells RD.com. Molly Arnold’s grandmother is no longer around, yet she still finds a way to honor the holiday. Arnold is the Chief Operations Officer of the Frank and Barbara Broyles Foundation, a charity she created in memory of her grandmother, Barbara Broyles, who passed away from Alzheimer’s disease (老年痴呆症.
However, just because the holiday is not about commercialism doesn’t mean you can’t exchange gifts. Spruce.com actually suggests that grandparents give their grandchildren gifts, especially gifts that “honor family traditions”. For example, a meaningful gift from a grandpa to his granddaughter would be actually a birthday gift, but we think it’s a perfect Grandparents Day idea too.
28. Why did McQuade found Grandparents Day? A. To grow her own business. B. To realize her parents’ dream. C. To remember her own grandparents. D. To call on people to care for the elderly.
29. What does the underlined part “a money grab” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A. A way to make big money. B. A celebration of one’s wealth. C. A chance to give others money. D. A deal between family members.
30. Hallmark thought Grandparents Day _____. A. wouldn’t grow popular among young people B. would become a commercial holiday C. would turn into a global holiday D. wouldn’t last long
31. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about? A. Meaningful ways of celebrating the holiday. B. People’s attitudes toward the holiday.





C. The effort to carry out the holiday. D. The future of the holiday.
D
Scientists may have evidence that our personality plays into our eating habits. People who are open and extroverted (外向的 eat more fruits and vegetables than others, according to new research.
The new report, published in the journal Frontiers in Psychology, analyzed the eating habits of more than 1,000 young adults ages 17 to 25. Researchers gave participants a test to measure for the “Big Five” personalities: openness to experience, conscientiousness (尽责性, extroversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism (神经质. Then they asked some participants to keep a food diary for 21 days and others for 13 days, in hopes of encouraging more people to complete the task.
Participants who scored higher than average for openness ate about 4.5 more servings of combined fruits and vegetables per week than those less open ones. They also consumed less unhealthy food, such as potato chips or fries. Extroversion also had a positive effect on fruits and vegetable consumption, though not as strongly as openness did, while conscientiousness was a weak predictor of produce consumption.
Of course, the study only found an association between the characteristic and eating habits, rather than a direct causation. It’s likely that people who are open to new experiences take those same attitudes toward food, study author Tamlin Conner, a professor at the University of Otago, told The Huffington Post. Their personality may make them more eager to try new fruits and vegetables. But it’s also possible that eating healthy foods can cause anyone to feel more like an extrovert: Another of Conner’s studies found that in the short term, eating more fruits and vegetables resulted in more feelings of motivation, which she says are key characteristics of extroversion.
So, you want to eat better? Start eating like an open, extroverted person. “Try to take an attitude of openness, especially toward unusual healthy foods,” Conner said. “Go to the store, and pick something new. Practice behaving like an open person.”
32. What does the new research focus on? A. Food and health.





B. Personality and health. C. Eating habits and health. D. Eating habits and personality.
33. What do we know about the experiment? A. It asked participants to share their food diaries. B. It was carried out among old people. C. It involved five personalities. D. It lasted for a month.
34. Which of the following would lead you to eat more fruits and vegetables? A. Openness to experience. B. Extroversion. C. Conscientiousness. D. Agreeableness.
35. What does Conner suggest? A. Consulting an extrovert about foods. B. Making friends with open people. C. Going on a balanced diet. D. Trying new healthy foods.

I was giving my 5-year-old girl a bath one night when she looked out the window at our fence and announced, “You know, Mamma, sometimes looking at trees helps you to think.” 36 What a deep observation from a little child. “You are right,” I encouraged. “What are you thinking about?”
Lately, there have been a lot of changes going on in my life at work. Business has been hard and I have been doing a lot of consulting for customers who haven’t been able to afford help. 37 I have a need and desire to help, but I often say “Yes” when my wallet should be saying “No!”
The last few years have been such a struggle for so many of my customers from so many




walks of life. 38 Worse yet, I always have a voice in the back of my head that says if I don’t relax or learn a better way to deal with stress, cancer might come near!
So when my daughter said that one sentence, I promised to spend more time in nature. 39 It is so grounding and so healing. I have traded a few gym days for hikes in the hills above my house. 40 I am always more clear-headed after that. So I plan on spending sometime this summer in southern California, enjoying thinking at the base of an old, wise tree — with my daughter of course.
A. I struggle with this. B. What she said is so true. C. My health is on the downside. D. I decided to stop the busy life. E. I just sat in surprise and silence. F. I have trouble sleeping, sometimes.
G. Have you ever sat in a park and stared at a tree? 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）
