A record of 6.15 million trips was made by Chinese mainland tourists to overseas destinations during the sevenday Spring Festival holiday, which ended on Thursday, according to the China National Tourism Administration. That is an increase of 7 percent compared with last year’s Spring Festival. About 374,000 trips were organized by travel agencies, a 2.5 percent increase.
The administration also reported growth from individual and highend(高端的) travelers and said that in addition to top and coastal cities, inland cities—such as those in the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region—became important source markets. With many Chinese now traveling abroad for Spring Festival, their choice of destinations has expanded along with their growing interest in foreign cultures and services.
“Chinese tourists are increasingly willing to experience local cultures and services, including staying in private homes, appreciating plants and watching monkeys in hot springs,” Li Xuejing, the agency’s marketing manager, said.
A Chinese tourist surnamed Guo, who was vacationing on an island in the Philippines, said:“I now pay more attention to relaxation and enjoyment during the holidays instead of shopping or choosing gifts for relatives.”
Another choice is Britain. Though the devaluation(货币贬值) of the pound is a factor, Britain’s rich history and famous education tradition have caught the eye of Chinese.

(2018·杭州二中高三入学测试)Enjoying a musical performance no longer requires a costly ticket or a trip to a theater.These days,musicians are performing in private homes,at haircutting shops,at airports...even on ferry boats.
Musicians like house concerts.At music clubs,they often have to perform over loud conversation or deal with people who have had too much alcohol.People at house concerts are more focused on listening to the music.
Just a few hours before the Bombadils started singing at the O’Hair Salon,Lindsay was cutting hair and Tamera was doing facials.Then,they moved chairs and microphones to create a small performance space.The Bombadils made music in the front part of the hair salon,near the hairdryers and makeup tables.
“This is our first show at a hair salon,” Sarah Frank of the Bombadils told concertgoers at last week’s performance.Frank said she and band members,Luke Fraser and Kaitlyn Raitz had a great time “interacting” with the audience.
Concerts in people’s homes,or small businesses such as O’Hair’s,are becoming more popular,musicians say.“There is a more relaxed atmosphere,”said Domenic Cicala,a musician who opened up his O’Hair Salon to concerts.“People really get to know the artists.”
At house concerts,people get time before and after concerts to meet the performers.Often,the hosts or guests will provide food and drink.
“People really like listening to music in the living room of a friend,”said Matt Hart,with Aubrey Zoli making up the Local Strangers,a folkrock group based in Seattle.At many such concerts,the musicians do not need microphones.Yet,every word of their songs can be heard.
【解题导语】 本文主要介绍了现代音乐会在举办场地的选择上更加多样化,

Do you know that intelligence can be developed?Do you realize it doesn’t matter how smart you are but how hard you can work to grow?1.________ In her book, Mindset:The New Psychology of Success, Carol Dweck shares years of research conducted to prove it’s not just talent that determines success but whether we approach a situation with the right mindset. Having a growth mindset has many, many benefits.
2.________Having a growth mindset encourages you to not look at a deficit(不足额) as a deficit in ability but one of learning and that is one which can easily be achieved. This naturally has an impact on your sense of selfworth.
Enjoy the process of learning. With a growth mindset, you look forward to acquiring new skills and absorbing new knowledge. You realize that everything that you learn can help you improve and become a better person.3.________
Increase your confidence. According to Dweck and her fellow researchers “...in the growth framework, having clear deficits doesn’t mean you aren’t or won’t be good at something. It’s simply an occasion for learning. 4.________You just need to believe in improvement over time.”
10
Don’t get confused by setbacks(挫折). When you have a growth mindset, you don’t view a setback as something that sets you back.5.________Dweck shares, “Despite setbacks—or even because of them—they find ways to keep themselves committed and interested.”
A.Seek challenges.
B.Improve your sense of selfworth.
C.So you should never ignore the importance of learning.
D.It can affect all areas of your life, from business to love.
E.You view it as an opportunity to get better, and stronger.
F.Moreover, you don’t need a full load of confidence to set about learning.
G.If so, you’re one of the fortunate few who are blessed with a growth mindset.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇议论文,论述了主题:成功不仅仅是靠天赋,而是靠后天的努力和成长的心态。
1.G 解析:根据空处后一句可知,Carol Dweck在她的书中分享了多年的研究来证明:决定成功的不仅仅是天赋,而是我们是否用正确的心态来处理事情;该句中的“the right mindset”和G项中的“a growth mindset”相匹配,故G项正确。
2.B 解析:空处为第二段的主题句,根据该段尾句“This naturally has an impact on your sense of selfworth.”可知,该段主要介绍提高自我价值感的建议,故B项正确。
3.C 解析:根据空处前一句可知,你意识到你所学到的所有东西都能帮助你进步,让你成为一个更好的人,该句说明了学习的重要性,故C项与此处匹配。
4.F 解析:根据该段主题句“Increase your confidence.”可知,该段主要介绍提高自信心的建议,F项中的“confidence”与此处匹配,故F项正确。
5.E 解析:根据语境可知,当你有成长的心态,就不会把挫折看成阻碍,而是看作让你变得更好、更强的机会,故E项正确。

My dear fellow students,
Recently I’ve noticed shared bikes, such as Mobike and Ofo, parked in our campus, and even private locks are put on them. Shared bikes bring people great convenience as they provide an effective solution to the “last mile” problem. Hence,

shared bikes should be left in public for next users. It is morally wrong that we take possession of one for our own selfish interest. I advocate raising our awareness of using shared bikes reasonably so that everyone can benefit from this service.

阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
Missus__Sommers one day found herself the unexpected owner of fifteen dollars. It seemed to her a very large amount of money. For a day or two, she walked around in a dreamy state as she thought about her choices. Her daughter Janie was wearing worn shoes and needed new ones. She would buy cloth for new shirts for the boys.
Her daughter Mag should have another dress. And still there would be enough left for new stockings(长袜) for her children.
On the day she planned to go shopping with the money, she had eaten a light meal—no! Between getting the children fed and the house cleaned, and preparing herself to go shopping, she had forgotten to eat at all!
When she arrived at the large department store. She spotted a pile of silk stockings at the entrance. A sign nearby announced that they had been reduced in price. A young girl behind the counter asked her if she wished to examine the silky leg coverings. She smiled and started to feel the soft,__costly items. Missus Sommers picked up a black pair and looked at them closely. She loved them. She looked up at the shop girl and asked, “Well, I will buy this pair.”
Missus Sommers changed her cotton stockings for the new silk ones in a rest room. How good was the touch of the silk on her skin! Then she put her shoes back on and put her old stockings into her bag. Next, she went to the shoe department, where she tried on a pair of new boots. Her feet and ankles(脚踝) looked lovely. She could not believe that they were a part of herself.
注意:1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右;
2.应使用5个以上短文中标有下划线的关键词语;
3.续写部分分为两段,每段的开头语已为你写好;
4.续写完成后,请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。

After buying a pair of new boots, she walked into the clothes department._____________

Paragraph 2:
It was time she had to go back home._________________________________________

One possible version:
Paragraph 1:
After buying a pair of new boots, she walked into the clothes department. She walked around excitedly and saw many fancy dresses neatly displayed. Never had she stepped into such a beautiful department before. Luckily, she could still afford a dress with the remaining money. She tried it on, admiring herself in the mirror.
10
It matched perfectly with the costly silk stockings and new boots. “Is this elegant lady Missus__Sommers?” she murmured. Meanwhile, she couldn’t help thinking that if she had had enough money, she could have bought whatever she wanted.
Paragraph 2:
It was time she had to go back home. She walked out of the clothes department and the cold blowing wind made her awake all at once. She suddenly realized she had used up all the fifteen dollars! She had no money left for Janie’s shoes, Mag’s dress, and her sons’ shirts. The more she thought about her children, the more regretful she became. She fell as if having had a dream. It was time she woke up and faced the reality. She turned around and headed for the department store, hoping to get all her money back.
