A. body language　 B. a good memory

C. a good friend　 D. a proper dictionary

答案：A　综合推理题。根据Tip 3中最后一句即可作出正确推断。B、D两项在文中查无依据，而C项是Tip 2中直接陈述的答案，不合题意。

39．According to the passage, one should __________ when learning English.

A. always work with other people B. be able to guess everything new

C. often review what he has learnt D. take little notice of grammar

答案：C　细节理解题。从Tip 5中"come back to them later"可知复习的必要性。另外三个选项中always, everything, little都属极端词汇，故一一排除。

40．Which of the following proverbs(谚语)doesn't seem always true in learning a language in the writer's opinion?

A. Practice makes perfect. B. A good beginning is half done.

C. Rome was not built in a day. D. Don't run before you can walk.

答案：D　综合推理题。该题是推断题。A项之意可见于Tip 1中。D项含做事须"循序渐进"之意，而Tip 3并不要求人们学好每个需用的单词后再去开口，即可推断该谚语在此并不适用。B、C两项在文中缺乏依据而排除。

B

People travel for a lot of reasons. Some tourists go to see battle fields or religious shrines(圣地).Others are looking for culture, or simply want to have their pictures taken in front of famous places. But most European tourists are looking for a sunny beach to lie on.

Northern Europeans are willing to pay a lot of money and put up with a lot of inconveniences for the sun because they have so little of it. People of cities like London, Copenhagen, and Amsterdam spend a lot of their winter in the dark because the days are so short, and much of the rest of the year in the rain. This is the reason the Mediterranean has always attracted them. Every summer, more than 25 million people travel to Mediterranean resorts(胜地)and beaches for their vacation. They all come for the same reason: sun!

The huge crowds mean lots of money for the economies of Mediterranean countries. Italy's 30 000 hotels are booked solid(全部客满)every summer. And 13 million people camp out on French beaches, parks, and roadsides. Spain's long sandy coastline attracts more people than anywhere else.37 million tourists visit yearly, or one tourist for every person living in Spain.

But there are signs that the area is getting more tourism than it can handle. The Mediterranean is already one of the most polluted seas on earth. And with increased tourism, it's getting worse. The French can't figure out what to do with all the garbage left by campers around St. Tropez. And in many places, swimming is dangerous because of pollution.

None of this, however, is spoiling anyone's fun. The Mediterranean gets more popular every year with tourists. Obviously, they don't go there for clean water and loneliness. They bear traffic jams and seem to like crowded beaches. They don't even mind the pollution. No matter how dirty the water is, the coastline still looks beautiful. And as long sun shines, it's still better than sitting in the cold rain in Berlin, London, or Oslo.

41．The writer seems to mean that Europeans travel mostly for the reason that they __________.

A. want to see historic remains or religious spots

B. are interested in different cultural traditions and social customs

C. would like to take pictures in front of famous sites
