26、Following the Famous Silk Roads
The Silk Roads were a network of ancient trade routes that extended from East Asia all the way to the Mediterranean. A key section of the Silk Roads is the Chang’an-Tianshan corridor（走廊）, which stretches over a distance of around 5,000 kilometres through China, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan, covering a total of 8,700 kilometres of trade routes. The three countries jointly pursued an application for UNESCO World Heritage (遗产) status which contained detailed research on the 33 sites along the corridor. This made history as the first successful multinational World Heritage application.
The starting point of the corridor and the entire Silk Roads network is Xi’an, in Shanxi Province. Further west on the Silk Roads, the geography gradually changes from wild deserts to high, snow-capped mountains to vast grasslands as the routes pass through the Tianshan Mountains and emerge in the valleys of Central Asia. Although the Chang’an-Tianshan corridor of the Silk Roads ends here, the network continues westwards until it reaches the Mediterranean.
The corridor began to develop in the 2nd century. Assigned by the emperor, the ambassador Zhang Qian journeyed from Chang’an to Central Asia, seeking to build bridges between the Han Dynasty and the Western Regions. Following Zhang’s efforts, trade routes took shape and relationships were strengthened between the major powers of the time, with the routes network reaching as far as the Roman Empire.
Economic activities along the routes network were not limited to trade in silk. They contributed many other items to the marketplace of goods. The routes were busy with camels carrying loads of goods and businessmen selling everything imaginable. China’s exports included silk, porcelain, ironware and tea, while horses, jewellery, spices and grapes were all imported over vast distances from the West.
In addition to trade exchange, the network served as a bridge for cultural exchange which shaped the evolution of science, art, technology and many other areas in societies along the network. Astronomy and mathematics were introduced to China from India and Arabia; important Chinese inventions such as papermaking and printing were brought to the West.
All of these activities contributed to a great age of expansion as trade and cultural exchanges gave people access to new goods, knowledge and ideas. These routes connected Eastern and Western civilizations, which achieved a shared development. The addition of the Chang’an-Tianshan corridor to the UNESCO World Heritage List is a milestone in recognition of the Silk Roads as a crucial part of humanity’s common heritage.

27、Tides
The ocean is always moving. Waves are created by soft breezes and by huge storms. The sun and moon pull on the ocean, making the water level rise and fall. 【1】 Ocean tides usually rise and fall twice a day.
When the water level rises, we say the tide is coming in. With each wave, water flows farther up onto the beach. Soon, the water covers the intertidal zone(潮汐带).【2】 Intertidal means “between the tides”.
As the tide comes in, sand and seaweed wash onto the shore. No one can stop the tide, or even slow it down. The tide is too powerful. After the tide rises for about six hours, it begins to fall. 【3】 Water flows away from the beach. The intertidal zone is uncovered. Sand and seaweed float out to sea.
【4】 It forms pools between rocks on shore. Many plants and animals live in these tide pools. Seaweeds, starfish, crabs and snails live there.
You might find a tide pool when you visit an ocean beach. Stay still and watch closely. You might see sea animals. You might see birds hunting in the pools. You might also see animals eating the seaweed and the algae, which is a kind of small plant that grows on rocks. But do be careful.【5】
The ocean tides have been rising and falling for billions of years. All day and all night, the tide keeps coming in, then going out, covering and uncovering the beach.
A．So do shells and pieces of wood.
B．Then we say that the tide is going out.
C．Algae and seaweed make rocks slippery.
D．Some water stays behind when the tide goes out, though.
E．The water’s rising and falling is called the ocean’s tide.
F．Sometimes small fish get trapped there as the tide goes out.
G．The intertidal zone is the area that lies between high tide and low tide.
28、Studying abroad is full of adventures-everything is different and exciting. How can you adjust to the new environment soon? Homestay is a great way to get to know the culture from a firsthand aspect. Here are some tips on how to enjoy a successful homestay.
Bring a thoughtful gift.
【1】 Instead, a little souvenir (纪念品) from your home country is a great choice. Besides, it will help your hosts remember what an awesome family member you were.
Respect the schedule.
Even though you’ve paid for your stay, you’re still part of a family that is not yours - respect their schedules. If the meals are at 7 p. m., make sure you are on time. 【2】
Attend the family meals.
Most host programs will give you the choice to include meals in your homestay. It’s highly recommended that you join your host family for at least one meal each day 【3】 You can also enjoy the conversations that meals inspire
Be fair and honest when problems arise.
【4】 Nobody can avoid it. In case there’s a major trouble that bothers you, try to talk to the family first. Be aware that it might take some time to get used to each other - not just for you but also for the host family.
【5】
When it comes time to leave, you might be feeling some relief about getting back to a more familiar home. Do remember to make an effort to express your thanks to the family for let-ting you into their home and sharing their lives with you.
A．Show great relief before you leave.
B．Express your gratitude before leaving.
C．Lies can only make things much worse.
D．This can help you taste homemade local food.
E．You don’t have to spend a lot of money on the gift.
F．Whenever people live together, there’s room for disagreement.
G．You must let your host family know in advance if you can’t arrive on time.
29、Shopping is a game with two teams—shoppers and retails (零售商). Here is the game plan you need.
Bargains and Impulse (冲动) Shopping
Limit the number of stores you go to. The more “legwork” you put in, the more you may feel the need to “reward” yourself for your effort.
Don’t make friends with the sales staff. The more you interact (互动) with the sales staff, the more likely it is that you will buy something. This is because you feel like you don’t want to let down someone who has helped you.
Leave your credit cards at home. Research shows people are willing to spend more money with plastic than with cash. The less immediate the payment the more easily people will spend.
At the Supermarket
Slow down and double-check what you’re picking up. Stores can make sales very specific and confusing, such as placing a sign offering 50% off a 2kg ham wedged (嵌入) between the full-price 3kg ones. Shoppers could wind up grabbing the wrong one and paying full price.
Don’t think when you buy in bulk (大批量) you’re getting a better deal. That’s not always the case. In the produce department, for example, individual capsicums are almost always cheaper than those in the multi-pack.
Don’t buy something in bulk just because it’s on sale. The ten-for-$10 promotion is one of the most effective. This is what stores do to get volume out the door—even if they’ve raised the unit price to do it.
Shopping Online
Hide your cookies. Companies use online cookies (a piece of data from a website stored on your web browser that informs the site of related net activity) to target shopper with relevant ads, but they can also reveal information from your browsing history. Stick to budget-friendly sites to bump into lower offers. And use your browser settings to block third-party tracking cookies.
Look online first. Even if you choose to shop in store rather than online, check sites with user reviews and ratings, such as amazon.com and cnt.com, to find products with the most positive feedback. If the highest-rated items are cheaper online, including delivery, ask the store to match the total price.
Geo-blocking is what some multinational retails do to charge different prices for the same product in different markets. With a little more effort, you can get around geo-blocking. Apple, for instance, will let you shop in their US store by using US iTunes gift-cards that can be bought online.
Play the Game to Get Instant Bargains
Speak up! Not happy with the view from your hotel window, or the way the burger is cooked? Don’t be forced to put up with the poor experience, give honest, polite feedback and we’re almost certain you’ll be treated to what you expected—and paid for.
Find better online actuation (驱动) deals. Misspelled it! One of the best ways to find great deals on eBay is via auctions (拍卖) that have misspelled words. For example, an “Xbox Connect” will often sell for less than an “Xbox Kinect” since fewer people search for the wrong version. Website FatFingers.com helps you find these listings. With thousands of items listed on eBay with spelling mistakes each year, you’re likely to find what you’re looking for at much lower prices.

32、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
A Secret Promise Kept
When I was a little boy, I loved to visit the fire station where my father worked. Sometimes Dad would give me a ten cents to buy a soda (汽水).
One day, I took two friends to the station to show my dad off. I asked Dad if we could each have a soda before we went home for lunch. I sensed just the slightest hesitation in my father’s voice. But he said “sure” and gave us each a dime (一毛钱). We each bought a soda and headed home for lunch and a summer afternoon of swimming.
When I came home, I heard my parents talking. Mom seemed upset with Dad, and then I heard my name mentioned. “You should have just said you didn’t have money for sodas. Brian would have understood. We don’t have any extra money, and you need to have your lunch.”
I suddenly realized the sacrifice (牺牲) my father had made for it. For the next twenty years, he worked three jobs to support my big family.
One afternoon Dad’s old car broke down, and he asked me to take him to his doctor’s appointment. As I pulled up to the firehouse, I saw Dad outside around a brand-new pickup truck with the other firemen. It was a beauty. Dad said, “Someday, I’ll own a truck like that.”
My brothers and I were doing well in business. We had offered to buy him a truck, but he refused.
When Dad stepped out of the doctor’s office, his face was pale. “Let’s go,” was all he said.
We drove by the old house, the lake and the corner store, and Dad started talking about the memories each place held and how proud he was of us. That was when I knew he was dying, which totally shocked me. He made me promise that I would never tell anyone of his impending (迫近的) death. I agreed, knowing it was the toughest secret to keep.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
At the time, I was just looking to buy a new truck, so I invited Dad to go to the local car dealer’s (经销商) shop with me.
