Is there something that you’ve always wanted to try but just never had the
time? Well, make plans to try it now since you are on summer vacation. Not all
vacations call for taking a tour bus to take photos of famous landmarks. Some
vacations allow you plenty of opportunities to learn.
The most difficult aspect of a learning vacation may be choosing one because the
possibilities are endless. If you enjoy cooking, various companies can take you to
Italy, France, Spain, Mexico or even Peru. Once there, you can learn to prepare the
local cuisine(烹饪). Trips are often planned to fit in with local food festivals
or special events.
The term “learning vacation” often brings language to mind. The best way to
learn a language is in an environment where it’s spoken. Study Spanish, French or
English. Or attempt a more unusual language like Polish, Estonian or Thai. You’ll
be able to learn about the country and absorb the culture at the same time.
If you are fond of sports, you can polish your skills or learn new ones. Golf and
tennis schools welcome players of all levels. If you want a bigger thrill, you can
learn to surf, go climbing or race cars. It’s even possible to learn the art and
techniques of bull fighting while on vacation!
You can also discover our inner artist. Many places offer painting classes in
different mediums. The scenic locations of the schools offer plenty of subjects that
provide inspiration for practice.
If you prefer capturing the world on film, take a photography vacation. Travel with
a small group to photograph beautiful animals or scenery. You can also practise your
technique on people or at historical sights.
Once you decide on a vacation, choose a company carefully. Request names of
recent customers you can contact, and then ask them for an evaluation. The more you
know before you go, the better prepared you’ll be. Then go out and learn something!
36. The advantages of learning a language in its native country is that
.
A. the environment is fit for you to use the language
B. you are able to learn the original foreign language
C. native speakers offer you a lot of chances to practise
D. you can learn the language and experience its culture
37. The structure of the text would be
38. Which of the following sports suit you if you don’t like thrills?
A. Car racing. B. Playing tennis. C. Rock climb.D. Surfing.
39. The purpose of writing the text is to
.
A. advertise some popular summer programs
B. encourage readers to have a good time relaxing
C. offer some tips on how to enjoy a learning vacation
D. attract more readers to spend summer time learning

Is there a magic cutoff period when offspring become accountable for their own
actions? Is there a wonderful moment when parents can become spectators in the lives
of their children and shrug, "It' s their life," and feel nothing?
When I was in my twenties, I stood in a hospital corridor waiting for doctors to
put a few stitches in my son' s head. I was asked, "When do you stop worrying?" A
nurse said, "When they get out of the accident stage." My mother just smiled faintly
and said nothing.
When I was in my thirties, I sat on a little chair in a classroom and heard
how one of my children talked incessantly, disrupted the class, and was headed for
a career making license plates. As if to read my mind, a teacher said, "Don't worry.
They all go through this stage, and then you can sit back, relax, and enjoy them."
My mother listened and said nothing.
When I was in my forties, I spent a lifetime waiting for the phone to ring and
the cars to come home, the front door to open.
My friends said that when my kids got married I could stop worrying and lead
my own life. I wanted to believe that, but I was haunted by my mother' s wan (淡
淡的) smile and her occasional words, "You look pale. Are you all right? Call me
the minute you get home."
Can it be that parents are sentenced to a lifetime of worry? Is concern for
one another handed down like a torch to blaze the trail of human frailties and the
fears of the unknown? Is concern a curse? Or is it a virtue that elevates us to the
highest form of life?
What can we know about the author’s mother from the passage?
One of my children became quite irritable recently, saying to me, "Where were
you? I' ve been calling for three days, and no one answered. I was worried! ! !"
I smiled a wan smile.
40.
A. She seems to laugh at the author.
B. She is not concerned about the author.
C. She has a thorough understanding of the author.
D. She tries to give the author some encouragement.
41.
A. She was less concerned about her children.
B. She couldn't stop worrying about her children.
C. She would like her children to see her often.
D. She became more patient with her children.
What did the author do in her forties?
The main purpose of the passage is to tell us that ______.
42.
A. the concern between parents and children is natural
B. parents’ love for their children is selfless
C. parents show more concern for their children
D. parents will worry about their children all their lives
C
Computerized trading agents may help humans build better markets
Thanks to declining markets, investment banks are getting rid of many of their
highly-paid traders. When markets recover, the banks might be tempted to replace
them with rather cheaper talent. One alternative has been around for a while but
has yet to catch on: autonomous trading agents-computers programmed to act like the
human version without such annoying costs as holidays, lunch breaks or bonuses.
Program trading has, of course, been done before; some blamed the 1987 stock market
crash on computers instructed with simple decision-making rules. But robots can be
smarter than that.
Dave Cliff, a researcher at Hewlett-Packard Laboratories in Bristol, England,
has been creating trading robots for seven years. In computer simulations he lets
them evolve "genetically", and so allows them to adapt and fit models of real-world
financial markets. His experiments have suggested that a redesign of some markets
could lead to greater efficiency. Last year, a research group at IBM showed that
Mr. Cliff's artificial traders could consistently beat the human variety, in various
kinds of market. Nearly all take the shape of an auction (拍卖). One well-known type
is the English auction, familiar to customers of the salesrooms of Christie's and
Sotheby's, where sellers keep mum on their offer price, and buyers increase their
bids by stages until only one remains.
At the other extreme is the Dutch auction, familiar to 17th-century
tulip-traders in the Netherlands as well as to bidders for American Treasury bonds.
Here, buyers remain silent, and a seller reduces his price until it is accepted.
Most markets for shares, commodities, foreign exchange and derivatives are a mixture
of these two types: buyers and sellers can announce their bid or offer prices at
any time, and deals are constantly being closed, a so-called "continuous double
auction".
Mr. Cliff's novel idea was to apply his evolutionary computer programs to
marketplaces themselves. Why not, he thought, try and see what types of auction would
let traders converge (趋同) most quickly towards a balance price? The results were
surprising. In his models, auctions that let buyers and sellers bid at any time like
most of today's financial exchanges were less efficient than ones that required
relatively more bids from either buyers or sellers. These "evolved auctions" also
withstood big market shocks, such as crashes and panics, better than today's
real-world versions. Mr. Cliff's most recent results, which will be presented in
Sydney, Australia, on December 10th, show that the best type of auction for any market
depends crucially on even slight differences in the number of buyers and sellers.
Bank of America has been investigating these new auctions, along with robotic traders,
What can we infer from the text?
Which of the following is true according to the text?
for possible use in electronic exchanges. The hope is that today's financial auctions
and online marketplaces might work better by becoming more like their English and
Dutch ancestors.
43.
A. Mr. Cliff’s robot traders have now been used in real-world markets.
B. Robot traders can evolve like creatures.
C. There is room for improvement in efficiency in trading markets.
D. The English auction is the most popular trading form.
44.
A. Existing auctions cannot withstand market shocks
B. The Dutch auction is better than the continuous double auction
C. It’s hard for traders to reach a balanced price
D. The best type of auction takes place when the number of the buyers is equal to
that of sellers
45.What’s the author’s attitude toward robot traders?
A. PrejudicedB. Objective
C. CriticalD. Optimistic

Nowadays, the practice of carpooling is becoming more and more popular. From
this picture, we can find many people are enthusiastic about carpooling for the
following reasons. Firstly, it helps to reduce vehicle emissions and thus is
environmentally friendly. Secondly, it is a practical way for each carpooler to
reduce the huge paying burden of driving respectively. Thirdly, carpoolers can get
to their destinations more quickly than before because there will be few traffic
jams with few cars on the way. Besides their positive attitudes towards carpooling,
from this picture, we can find measures are usually taken to avoid possible negative
problems caused by carpooling. For example, an agreement is signed before carpooling
to ensure safety and clarify obligations.
In my personal opinions, carpooling between friends and relatives should be
encouraged because it could relieve traffic pressure and make private cars more
efficient. Meanwhile, carpooling between strangers should be properly guided. It’s
better for every carpoolers to check others’ credentials every time you carry out
the practice.
