     There are several ways you can find out about the countries and places you wish to visit. You can talk to friends who have traveled to the places, you can go and see a colour film about them, or you can read a travel book.

     It seems that there are three kinds of travel books. The first are those that give a personal, subjective(主观的) idea of travels which their writer has got himself. These books can be useful if the writers share their traveling experiences with others. The second kind are those books which give objective(客观的) information of things to be done and seen. If a cultured person has written such a book about the facts of a place, then it is more useful. The third kind are those books which are called “a guide” to some place or other. If they are good, they will describe and explain the place in detail. Like the first kind , they can be interesting and exciting, but their main purpose is to help the reader plan his travel in the most practical way.

     Whatever kind of travel book you choose, you must make sure that the book does not describe everything as interesting, exciting or fantastic. You must also keep an open eyes on its date of publication(出版) because travel is very practical matter and many things change quickly in the 21st century. Finally, you should make sure that it’s easy to find the useful information for you travel.

       A. travel maps              B. travel books       C. travel films D. travel places

       A. traveled     B. read books  C. a lot of experience            D. surfed the Internet

六、 任务型阅读（每小题2分）。

A．

     CCTV reported that every year Chinese people throw away a lot of food which can feed 200 million people for a year.

     Do we have too much food? Of course not. According to the UN World Food Programme, there were 900million hungry people all over the world in 2013. About six million children die of hunger every year.

     So think about it. We should  say no to people who waste food every day. An old saying goes, “Every grain on the plate comes from hard work.” It tells us everybody must save food.

     Luckily, a number of people have realized the importance of saving food. Li Hong, a waitress in a restaurant in Jiangsu, once lost her job because she took some leftover(剩余的) food home for her son. But many people were by her side and criticized (批评) the waste of food.

     What should we do in our daily life to stop wasting food? We can do many things to prevent it from happening. Here are some tips:

     Don't order too much food in a restaurant. Only order as much as you can eat. If you can’t eat all the food you order, take the rest of it home.

     Don’t be too picky(挑剔的) about food. some food may not be tasty, but put body need it.

Don’t keep too much food at home, especially for fruit and vegetables.

21. How many hungry people were there over the world in 2013?

____________________________________________________

22. Why did Li Hong lose her job?

____________________________________________________

23. What should you do if you can’t eat all the food you ask for?

_____________________________________________________

24. Can you keep too much food at home?

______________________________________________________

25. What’s the main idea of the passage?

_____________________________________________________

B.

     Now there is a family problem. Nearly every parent says that we never grow up. In fact we are probably 16 or 17 years old. In their eyes, we are always little ones and often do wrong things. For example, when I need to stay at home alone, they always worry about me and my life without them.

     Most parents always think that they have offered the best things they can to make their children live in a comfortable world. They buy their children pretty clothes, cool shoes, everything that they can for their dear children. In return, they only want their children to get good results in the exams.

     But why still can’t their children understand them? Does it mean that we still want more material things? No. As a matter of fact, what we want is a true family. What does a true family mean”? I think it means a place where we can hide ourselves from the cold world outside. From here, we can get warmth, we can get consolation(安慰), and we can get happiness. And one important thing is that we should be stronger and more confident in the outside world because we know that we have a true family.

     So I think that parents should sit down to talk with their children to let know that they have a true family, so the children and their parents could understand each other more and more. Then, parents will not treat their children as little ones.

26. In the eyes of most parents, children never ____________and seldom do_____________.

27. Most parents always think they _______________ the best things for their children to live in the world _______________.

28. Children still _________________their parents because what children need most is not material things but _________________.

29. Most parents want their children to get _________________in the exams while their children want to get _______________.

30. The way to __________________ between parents and children is that they should have more communication with each other. Then, no children will ______________as little ones.
