On the contrary, if you are not sure what’s here and need some extra help, we can help you. We can assist you in developing the tour that fits you and your students.

Your students will have an educational experience they’ll never forget. The students will learn about world history, not just Spanish history, art history, archeology, Spanish culture, and much more.

At age 61, identical twins Jeanne and Susan no longer look exactly alike. Susan smoked for many years and is an admitted sun worshipper, whose habits Jeanne does not share. A new study of twins suggests you can blame those coarse(粗糙的)wrinkles, brown or pink spots on too much time in the sun, smoking, and being overweight.

Because twins share genes, but may have different exposures to environmental factors， studying twins allows an “opportunity to control for genetic susceptibility(易受影响性),” Dr. Elma D. Baron, at Case Western Reserve School of Medicine in Cleveland, Ohio, and his colleagues explain in the latest issue of Archives of Dermatology.

Their analysis of environmental skin-damaging factors in 65 pairs of twins hints that skin aging is related more to environment and lifestyle than genetic factors.

But when it comes to skin cancer, the researchers say their findings support previous reports that both environment and genes affect skin cancer risk.

Baron’s team examined facial skin of 130 twins, 18 to 77 years old, who lived mostly in the northem Midwest and Eastern regions of the US, who were attending the Twins Days Festival in Ohio in August 2002. At this time, each of the twins also separately reported how their skin burned or tanned(晒黑)without sunscreen, their weight, and their history of skin cancer, smoking, and alcohol drinking. The study group consisted of 52 fraternal(异卵双生)and 10 identical twin pairs, plus 3 pairs who were unsure of their twin status.

From these data, the researchers noted strong ties, outside of twin status, between smoking, older age, and being overweight, and having facial skin with evidence of environmental damage. By contrast, sunscreen use and drinking alcohol appeared related to less skin damage.

Baron and his colleagues say the current findings, which highlight ties between facial aging and potentially avoidable environmental factors—such as smoking, being overweight, and unprotected overexposure to the sun’s damaging rays—may help motivate people to minimize these risky behaviors.

67.Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A.Jeanne and Susan share all the habits including smoking.

B.Skin aging is related more to environment and lifestyle than genetic factors.

C.Only identical twins can take part in the research.

D.Sunscreen use cannot help people have less skin damage.

68.Why did Baron’s team do the research on twins?

A.Twins are more likely to suffer from skin cancer.

B.It may guarantee the research is not influenced by genetic factors.

C.It gives others an opportunity to control twins’ genes.

D.It helps find twins are exposed to different environments.

69.What can you infer from the last paragraph?

A.This research makes people aware of dangerous lifestyles.

B.The environmental factors are unavoidable.

C.Being exposed to the sun is absolutely damaging.

D.There is little relationship between skin aging and environment.

70.The passage is mainly concerned with .

A.skin cancer and environment

B.identical twins research

C.aging skin and environmental factors

D.genes and lifestyles

For several years, Americans have enjoyed teleshopping-watching TV and buying things by phone. 71 In a number of European countries, people can turn on their TVs and shop for clothes, jewelry, food, toys, and many other things.

72 For example, the biggest Swedish company sells different kinds of things on TV in 15 European countries, and in one year it made $ 100 million. In France there are two teleshopping channels, and the French spend about $20 million a year to buy things through those channels.

In Germany, until last year teleshopping was only possible on one channel for 1 hour every day. Then the government allowed more teleshopping. Other channels can open for telebusiness, including the largest American teleshopping company and a 24-hour teleshopping company. 73 .

Some people like teleshopping because it allows them to do their shopping without leaving their homes. With all the problems of traffic in the cities, this is an important reason, but at the same time, other Europeans do not like this new way of shopping. 74 Many Europeans usually worry about the quality of the things for sale on TV. Good quality is important to them, and they believe they cannot be sure about the quality of the things on TV.

75 They will have to be more careful about the quality of the things they sell. They will also have to work harder to sell things that the buyers cannot touch or see in person.

A. Now teleshopping is starting in European

B. They call teleshopping “Junk on the air”

C. Teleshopping is becoming popular in Sweden.

D. German businesses are hoping this new teleshopping will help them sell more things

E. The need for high quality means that European teleshopping companies will have to be different from the American companies.

F. Teleshopping is popular among people

G. German teleshopping business is controlled by American.

第二节 书面表达

Recently, people are having an argument on whether a subway should be built or not in the city. Opinions vary from person to person.

Some people think it necessary to build a subway.For one thing, building a subway can help solve traffic problems and people will enjoy a more convenient life. For another, it provides a new means of transportation, which is environmentally friendly.

On the other hand, others hold the opposite opinion. From their point of view, the long process of construction is bound to influence people’s daily life. What’s more, too much money will be spent building it, and it will take a long time to get the money back.

Weighing the pros and cons, I support the idea that a subway should be built because not only will the environment be protected but also more space will be saved.
