25、When people visit the US, they usually plan to visit New York or Los Angeles. Although these cities have a lot to offer, there are several other wonderful choices to consider. If you love the outdoors and are looking to experience something different in America, the city of
26、Portland, Oregon is a great choice. With a population of 583, 000, Portland is the 28th most populated in the nation. Portland is called the City of Roses since it hosts the second largest flower festival in the US. The Por
27、tland Rose Festival, which started in 1907, attracts an audience of about half a million year. In addition, visitors can enjoy carnival（嘉年华）rides alongside Portland's waterfront and catch a wonderful fireworks show in the evening. Since 1989, d
28、ragon boat races in the Willamette River have been part of the event. Portland is considered to be one of the greenest cities in the world, as its citizens try hard to keep the environment clean. Portland has one of the highest recycle percentage in the
29、US, recycling 63 percent of its rubbish. In 1993, Portland became the first city to make a plan to fight global warming. The plan worked quite well and by 2005 Portland had reduced greenhouse gas emissions by 12.5 percent. One r
30、eason for Portland's great success is the city's love of bicycles. Nearly 3 percent of workers go to work by bicycle each day,the highest percentage in the country. Many of those who don't bike do their best to reduce air pollution by taking public transportation.
31、0; Although scenic beauty does attract many tourists to Portland,it's not the only attraction. The city is also known or producing some of the world's most tasty beers. It is also known for its wide choice of goods and policy（政策）of zero percent sales t

35、here can we most probably read this text？_A. In a travel magazine.B. In a science report.C. In a personal diary.D. In a geography textbook. 4. People often ask which is the most difficult language to learn, and it is not easy to answer because th
36、ee are many things to take into consideration. Firstly, in a first language the differences are unimportant as people learn their mother tongue naturally, so the question of how hard a language is to learn is only relevant in terms of learning a second language. &
37、#160; A native speaker of Spanish, for example, will find Portuguese（葡萄牙语）much easier to learn than a native speaker of Chinese, because Portuguese is very similar to Spanish, while Chinese is very different, so one's first language can affect learning a second lang
38、uage. The greater the differences between a second language and our first language, the harder it will be for most people to learn a second language. Many people answer that Chinese is the hardest language to learn, possibly influenced by the thought of learning the Chinese writi
39、ng system, and the pronunciation of Chinese does appear to be very difficult for many foreign learners. However, for Japanese speakers, who already use Chinese characters in their own language, learning writing will be less difficult than for speakers of languages using the
40、Roman alphabet（字母）. Some people seem to learn languages easily, while others find it very difficult. Teachers and the circumstances（环境）in which the language is learned also play an important role, as well as each learner's purpose for learning&#
41、160;.If people learn a language because they need to use it in work, they often learn it faster than people studying a language that has no direct use in their day-to-day life. No language is easy to learn well, though languages which are related to our
42、first language are easier. Learning a completely different writing system is a huge challenge, but that does not necessarily make a language more difficult than another. In the end, it is impossible to say that there is one language that is the most difficult language in the worl
43、d. （1）What does the underlined word "relevant" in paragraph 1 mean？_A. Difficult.B. Meaningful.C. Necessary.D. Possible. （2）What is the example of Portuguese and Chinese used to prove？_A. Chinese is harder to learn than Portuguese.B. Portug
44、uese and Chinese are very different.C. Portuguese is very easy for foreigners to learn.D. One's first language can affect learning a second language. （3）Why do many people think Chinese is hard to learn？_A. Its writing system is strange.B. Its pronunciation is old-fashioned.C
45、. Its characters are difficult to understand.D. It has many differences from many other languages. （4）What can we learn from the text？_A. Using a language daily will make it quick to learn.B. Difficult languages are not as popular as simple ones.C. The writing system is hard
46、er than the pronunciation.D. A second language is easier than we think.第二节（共1小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 There are a number of different ways to learn how to repair a bicycle. Many people find hat reading a book or looking online can give them the inf
