(2018·宿迁三校调研) Do you love travelling? If the answer is yes, then have you ever thought about why? You may maintain that travelling can help you expand your scope of knowledge, especially geographical and historical learning.It will provide more chances for you to enjoy food and try on clothes that you otherwise possibly cannot have.A famous English author Francis Bacon (1561—1626) makes a point when he says that, “Travel, in the younger sort, is a part of education; in the elder, a part of experience.”
Evidence of leisure travel can be traced as far back as ancient Babylon.This year, according to the World Travel & Tourism Council, the 1 billionth tourist will cross an international boundary before the end of this month.That means that one in seven people on the planet travelled this year, something that would not have been possible a few decades ago.Around 20 years ago only the rich could travel.
While the U．S. and France remain the two largest destinations for world travel, experts say much of the explosive growth in tourism has been to countries like Guatemala, the Dominican Republic, and the Ivory Coast, which weren’t even on the world tourism map a decade ago.The top five destinations in the world, according to the United Nations World Tourism Organization, are Paris, London, New York, the Mediterranean, Turkey.
Several factors have led to the boom in world travel.The prosperity(富裕) of people in Asia is
one factor.People in Asian developing countries have lifted their incomes above middle-class levels in the past few years.And a lot of them have used their new wealth to travel.In addition, travel costs have been reduced thanks to the rapid development of transportation, and competition between airlines to give customers the best prices.

Ⅱ阅读理解
A
Following the crowd may not always be in a person’s best
interest.But new research suggests that teens who get along with their
friends may end up healthier as adults.
Scientists have known that close friendships help boost health.That’s true for both teens and adults. The finding inspired Joseph Allen, a psychologist at the University of Virginia, and his team to study whether experiences during teen years would influence adult health.
So they followed 171 teens, starting when the kids were just 13. They interviewed each one every year for five years，and also spoke to these teens’closest friends，who provided additional information about the quality of their friendships.The same 171 people were interviewed again at ages 25, 26 and 27. This time, the questions surveyed each person’s overall health. When the researchers analyzed the data, they found a strong connection between a teen’s behavior and adult health. Teens who had close friends grew up to be the healthier adults. Whether teens held back their feelings or expressed them to close friends also influenced later health. Those who held back their feelings were more likely to be sick as adults. The connection held up even after the scientists accounted for other possible influences on health.Weight，family income and drug use were all examined. So were mental health issues，such as anxiety and depression. And in these people，such other factors did not explain adult health as well as teen friendships did.
Getting along with the crowd may have benefits, says Allen, but there are also drawbacks. Teens who are more independent tend to do better at school and work. And peer pressure may lead some kids to engage in risky behavior, such as smoking, drinking or using drugs. Dealing with it is an ongoing challenge，Allen acknowledges. “Finding the right balance is the key. Teens shouldn’t lose heart for not finding this easy.”And, he adds，“Parents need to be understanding about the pressures teens face.”
【解题导语】研究表明，与朋友较少或者没有朋友的青少年相比，有朋友的青少年在长大后更健康。当然，与朋友相处也有坏处。
1．Where can you probably read this passage?
A．Science fiction.
B．Health column.
C．Fashion magazine.
D．Entertainment newspaper.
B解析：文章出处题。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍青少年时的友谊对青少年成年后健康的影响。据此可知，本文属于健康知识类文章，故可判断，本文可能选自“健康专栏”。故B项正确。
2．We can learn from Allen’s study that________．
A．many other factors have a greater influence on adult health than teen friendships
B．mental health issues have nothing to do with adult health
C．the same 171 teens were interviewed each year from 13 to 27
D．the teens who couldn’t express themselves grew up to be unhealthier
D解析：细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Whether teens held back...sick as adults.”可知，青少年是否向他们的好朋友表达情感也会影响到其成年后的健康，那些压抑情感的青少年成年后很可能不健康。故D项正确。
3．According to what Allen said, we can know that________．
A．in order to do better at school, teens should not follow the crowd
B．though it’s challenging for teens to deal with peer pressure, they should not give up
C．teens will engage in smoking, drinking or using drugs when facing peer pressure
D．parents should understand their teens and stop them going with friends
B解析：细节理解题。根据最后一段内容可知，与朋友相处使得青少年在成年后更加健康的同时也会带来不利影响，即周围同龄人带来的压力，这些压力会导致许多问题。分析Allen的话“Finding the right balance is the key.Teens shouldn’t lose heart for not finding this easy.”可以判断，青少年要应对这些压力，找到正确的平衡点是关键，不能因为很难找到平
衡点就灰心丧气。故选B。
4．What can be inferred from the passage?
A．There is nothing bad for teens to follow the crowd.
B．Close friendships are the most important for people’s health.
C．Teen friendships may help teens become healthier adults.
D．Adult health is only influenced by teen friendships.
C解析：推理判断题。根据文章第一段第二句“But new research suggests that teens who get along with their friends may end up healthier as adults.”可知，与朋友相处的青少年在成年后会更加健康。C项意为“青少年时期的友谊会帮助青少年成为更加健康的成年人”，符合文章意思。故C项正确。

(2018·盐城高三调研测试) I do not know Sybrina Fulton.Nor can I claim to understand the depth of her pain.Yet, we share a deep connection.A common feature experienced by those women who face the challenge of raising a Black male child in a nation that far too often views Black male bodies through fear.You see, Ms.Fulton is living my nightmare(噩梦). A constant worry that has stayed in the back of my mind since the birth of my eldest son, some sixteen years ago.
Through the years, I have witnessed the world’s reaction to my son evolve as he has grown from a small boy to a young man.In his early years, his easy smile and lovable character were nothing less than magnetic(有磁性的)．Complete strangers would approach him in the street, draw him into conversation, and find themselves easily struck by his lively spirit.Even at that time I worried, how would my son react when in the years to come some of those who found themselves so impressed by this cute, intelligent boy, might grasp__their__purse__tighter as he walked by.
Over the years I have sought to protect his spirit from the hurt that comes from undeserved hatred.I have also sought to arm him with the knowledge that could one day save his life.He knows, for example, that if he is ever pulled over by the police, that he is to keep__both__hands__on__the__wheel__at__all__times and only reach for his license when the officer is specifically observing his actions.He knows, even in less threatening situations, that rough play and loud interactions with his buddies of any color will be viewed very differently when he does it, than when his white friends display the very same behavior.Still, the truth of the matter is, no amount of advice or voiceless behavior overcomes the physical, immovable fact of the color of his skin.His intelligence, easy smile, and lovable character won’t protect him from unfounded assumptions of criminality.
What makes the Trayvon Martin travesty(歪曲) of justice so painful to me, personally, is the knowledge that Trayvon’s mother loved her baby no less than I love mine.The various pictures of moments throughout a happy childhood that have now found a home on nationwide newscasts
provide clear evidence of that.Yet no amount of love and care, and no words of advice could have saved her son from the cruel killing he faced at the hands of a self-appointed neighborhood watch-dog.And perhaps even worse, nothing could have prepared her for the inhuman way her son has been treated by officials even in death.To think for three long days, his parents searched for him while officials failed to inform them of his fate and instead, performed drug and alcohol tests on his lifeless body, while failing to do the same for his attacker—the only one of the two who indeed had a criminal past is frankly, unforgivable.To know that the words of her son’s killer were given more weight than eye-witnesses and taped evidence of her child’s screams and eventual death must be heartbreaking.But to also have to live with the fact that his attacker still breathes free while her son lays buried underground is certainly more than any sorrowful parent should have to endure(忍受)．
It is this type of pain that is not unfamiliar to the Black experience in America, for this is the Black mothers’burden.A burden we have endured for centuries.We know the pain of having our newborn babies grabbed from our loving arms to be sold into lifelong servitude(奴役) and to never again experience the warmth of a mother’s loving hug.Yet, there is still the rightful expectation, that in modern-day America, the wheels of justice would not be stopped.
So today, it is my hope that Trayvon’s mother, father, family and friends can take some comfort in the fact that millions of Americans of every color stand with them in their fight for justice.This is a burden no family should have to endure alone.
We will not give up.
We will not forget.
We will continue the fight until justice is done.
