They were very excited, for it was their first trip to Mexico.After five hours, they landed in Acapulco, a tourist city in Mexico. It was very hot, but they walked happily to the Customs . The official examined their passports carefully, finding there was no visa on it. They were told that it was a must for them to enter the country. They explained to the official that they had got in touch with the Mexican Consulate (领事馆) in Chicago and was told no visa was needed, but the official still did not let them pass.So they began to call the US Consulate in Acapulco, but did not get the problem done. After they had worked for three hours, they were told to leave for the USA at once.They arrived in Detroit that same night after six hours' trip. To their joy, they were shown into a room where a lady official in the airport asked them to tell her their story from the very beginning. And then she suggested they go back to Mimmeapolis Airport to get their money back. But the five tourists still wanted to go to Mexico instead. Then she had to tell them to stay in a nearby hotel for a night and call to see her the next morning.They were so tired that they slept very well and woke up late Sunday morning. To their surprise, they saw snow and ice outside. They called the airport but nobody was there. In the afternoon they decided to go to the airport to see Mary again. Finally they caught her and had a long talk with her. She tried the best to manage their plane tickets but they had to get the visas before 12:00 Monday morning.They took a taxi and went to look for Mexican Consulate according to the address given by Mary. But the gate was shut. So they drove to a small town near Canada and took some pictures there. They got up early on Monday morning and went there again for visas. After waiting for an hour or so, the official turned up and they got what they wanted by paying $ 17 each. They drove happily to the airport, knowing that their holiday really started now.41. When did the five people start traveling from Minneapolis?A. On Friday B.On Saturday C.On Sunday D.On Monday42.Where is Minneapolis according to this passage?A. In the USA B.In Canada C.In Mexico D.In Russia43. What does the word Visa mean in Chinese?44. Where do you think the official named Mary works? Minneapolis Airport B.In the US Consulate C.At the Customs in Acapulco Detroit AirportBDont go to Kauai. Go to any of the other Hawaiian IslandsMaui, Lanai, the Big Islandbut leave Kauai for us. The weather on Kauai is so unpredictable that sometimes it rains all dayin fact, its the second wettest spot on the earth. Yes, there are giant double rainbows all the time, and the sunlight through the clouds is magical. But if you are not interested in these, go somewhere else. You just cant control the nature on Kauai, and who wants to surrender to the nature when you could be at a fine hotel, lying in a comfortable chair next to a swimming pool, with food served upon request? So what if Kauai produces surf champions the way Texas produces cowboys? Most of its 300 white-sand beaches are unmarked. Unless you connect with the local people, the hidden spots are hard to find. While Hanalei is the most beautiful town youve ever dreamed of, you can forget about discos and clubs. Worse, it doesnt have one single four-star restaurant. What it does have is the original drive- through places where you pass by a rambutan tree (红毛丹树)，and pick a piece of fruit.Shopping in Kauai? Forget itunless you are interested in shell necklaces and beautifully carved wood bowls. Kauai is not about pampering. Its about going natural and finding the nature within you. Its a do-it-yourself place that offers walking along the coast, driving and swimming in the Pacific Ocean, and lying on the beach.Dont go to Kauai unless you have a lot of time, because theres only one road, which can be slightly dull. It winds through the beautiful scenery of waterfalls, rivers flowing into the ocean, and taro(芋头)fields. You have no choice but to look at everything, because the speed limit is 35 m.p.h.If youre not interested in color, dont bother with Kauai, because thats what you getred roads, blue oceans, and a hundred different shades of green. Its like diving on land. Many people on Kauai believe that this is Lemuriaa lost island in the Atlantic. Can you imagine? Those Hawaiians, surfers, New Agers, and people who love nature and beauty and want a different quality of lifewhat do they know, anyway? Forget about ityoure not going to like it. Go somewhere else. Leave Kauai for us.45. After reading the text, we come to know that it is .A.a piece of shocking newsB.an exciting storyC.an interesting introductionD.a moving advertisement46.

However, there has hardly been a year since 1957 in which birth rates did not fall in the United States and other rich countries, and in 1976 the fall was especially sharp. Both East Germany and West Germany have fewer births than they have deaths, and the United States is only temporarily able to avoid this condition because the children of the baby boom are now an exceptionally large group of married couples.It is true that Americans do not typically plan their births to set an example for developing nations. We are more affected by women's liberation: once women see interesting and well-paid jobs as careers available, they are less willing to provide free labor for child raising. From costing nothing, children suddenly come to seem impossibly expensive. And to the high cost of children are added the uncertainties, introduced by divorce; couples are increasing to subject children to the terrible experience of marriage breakdown and themselves to the difficulty of raising a child alone.These circumstanceswomen working outside the home and the instability of marriage, trend to spread with industrial society and they will affect more and more countries during the remainder of this century. Along with them goes social mobility, ambition to rise in the urban world, a main factor in bringing down the births in Europe in the 19th century.Food shortage will happen again when the reserves resulting from the good harvests of 1976 and 1977 have been consumed. Urbanization is likely to continue, with the cities of the developing nations struggling under the weight of twice their present populations by the year . The presently rich countries are approaching a stable population largely because of the changed place of women, and they incidentally are setting an example of restraint to the rest of the world. Industrial society will spread to the poor countries, and ambition will exceed resources. All this will lead to a population in the 21st century that is smaller than that was feared   a few years ago. For those anxious to see world population brought under control, the news is encouraging.49. During the years from 1957 to 1976, the birth rate of the United States _.A. increased                          B. was reduced     C. experiences both falls and rises    D. high divorce rate50. What influences the birth rate most in the United States is _.A. highly paid jobs                    B. women's working for independenceC. expenses of child raising          D. high divorce rate51. The sentence "From costing nothing, children suddenly come to seem impossibly expensive" implies that _.A. food and clothing for babies are becoming incredibly expensiveB. prices are going up dramatically all the timeC. to raise children, women have to give up interesting and well-paid jobsD. social development has made child-raising inexpensive52. A chief factor in bringing down the births in Europe in the 19th century is_.A. birth control                   B. womens strong desire for workingC. the instability of marriage     D. the changed place of women53. The population in 21st century, according to the writer _.A. will be smaller than a few year ago       B. will not be as small as people expectC. will prove to be threat to the world   D. will not continue as serious a problem as expectedDFucheng Garden Villas is situated along the North 4th Ring Road, just 2 kilometres east away from the Asian Games Village with easy traffic connection.
