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(貨幣貶值)of the pound is a factor，Britain's rich history and famous education tradition have caught the eye of Chinese. 1．How many trips were made to foreign countries during the Golden Week of this Spring festival holiday?

He preferred to work in the garden rather than sat idly. ________________________________________________________ 答案：sat→sit　prefer to do A rather than do B “寧愿做A而不愿做B”，rather than后要接動詞原形。 4．In my views, there is no need to care too much about your clothes. ________________________________________________________ 答案：views→view　in one's view “依某人看”，是固定短語。 5．Although Mr Li was ill, he still went to work on time as usually. ________________________________________________________ 答案：usually→usual　as usual “像往常一樣”，是固定搭配。 五、七選五 In the age of the keyboard，some people seem to think handwriting lessons are on the way out. Steve Graham，a literacy professor at Vanderbilt University in Nashville，Tennessee，has been hearing about the death of handwriting for the past fifteen years.__1__ He said，“If the results of a survey we have published this year are accurate，it is being taught by about ninety percent of teachers in grades one to three.” Ninety percent of teachers also say they are required to teach handwriting.__2__ Professor Graham says one study published this year found that about three out of every four teachers say they are not prepared to teach handwriting.__3__ Others teach it for sixty to seventy minutes a day. Many adults remember learning that way－by copying letters over and over again.__4__ Many experts also think handwriting should not be taught only with itself.Instead，they say it should be used as a way to get students to express ideas.__5__ Teachers commonly report that about one­fourth of their students has poor handwriting.Some people might think handwriting is not important anymore because of computers and voice recognition(識別) programs. A．After all，that is why we write. B．Nowadays teachers pay more and more attention to their students' writing. C．So is it still being taught? D．But who cares if people know how to write well? E．But studies have yet to answer the question of how well they are teaching it. F．Today's thinking is that short periods of practices are better. G．He says some teachers teach handwriting for ten to fifteen minutes a day. 【解題導(dǎo)語】本文主要介紹了在電腦時代，學(xué)校教授書法的現(xiàn)狀研究。 【難句分析】Professor Graham says one study published this year found that about three out of every four teachers say they are not prepared to teach handwriting. 分析：本句是一個復(fù)合句。that引導(dǎo)賓語從句，在從句中不作句子成分；published是過去分詞，作后置定語，修飾one study。 譯文：Graham教授說今年發(fā)布的一項(xiàng)研究發(fā)現(xiàn)大約3/4的老師說他們不準(zhǔn)備教書法。 1．C　根據(jù)下文中的“it is being taught by about ninety percent of teachers in grades one to three”可知，空處應(yīng)表示對是否要教學(xué)生書法的疑問，故C項(xiàng)符合語境。 2．E　根據(jù)上文中的“If the results of a survey we have published this year are accurate，it is being taught by about ninety percent of teachers in grades one to three”及空前一句可知，此處表示對研究結(jié)果的進(jìn)一步分析，故E項(xiàng)符合語境。 3．G　根據(jù)下文中的“Others teach it for sixty to seventy minutes a day”可知，此處表示一些老師教授書法的時間，所以G項(xiàng)符合語境。 4．F　根據(jù)語境可知，空處與上文的“Many adults remember learning that way—by copying letters over and over again”形成對比，并與下文的“Many experts also think handwriting should not be taught only with itself”呼應(yīng)，此處講述的是學(xué)書法的方法的今昔差異，故F項(xiàng)符合語境。 5．A　根據(jù)語境可知，空處承接上文中的“Instead，they say it should be used as a way to get students to express ideas”，此處表示表達(dá)想法正是我們練習(xí)書法的原因，所以A項(xiàng)符合語境。 9
