Trolltunga, a piece of rock that stands

______ (see) 1,800 visitors in one 2017

Best
Restaurant
The Black Swan, a rural pub
in England has been named
“the
world’s
best
restaurant”
by TripAdvisor.
After scoring up positive feedback, the
review website
31
the pub over fine dining establishments
from
New York to Paris in its
32
Travelers' Choice awards.
So
what’s
it got going for it?
Firstly,
this
isn’t
some
backwater
pub
enjoying
in
insignificance.
Tommy
Banks,
a(n)
33
young
cook,
is
already
a
TV
regular
in
the
UK
and
has
had
a
Michelin
star
to
his
name
since
becoming the youngest
receiver ever in 2013 at the age of 24. Secondly,
it's not really a pub anymore. Like
many rural UK pubs, the Black Swan had
been in
34
for many years
before 2006, when Banks' family
took
over. After their attempts to run it as a pub
struggled, they decided to make it a dining
35
.
It now operates as both
restaurant and fashionable
36
, offering
food-and-stay
packages that help
draw customers to its truly
37
location. It's usually booked up well
in advance with
38
coming
from near and far.
During CNN's visit, neighboring tables included a
couple on an overnight break from their
kids. Another
39
two of the Banks brothers' old school
teachers, on a trip up from
York
—
40
the
kind of crowd that have
helped lift the Black Swan to TripAdvisor glory.
III. Reading Comprehension
Section A
Directions:
For
each blank in the following passages there are
four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D.
Fill in each blank with the word or
phrase that best fits the context.
Could Buying Paintings Make You Rich?
Is investing in paintings a good way to
get rich fast? And how should you invest in art?
“With
extreme
41
”
is
the
advice
of
Patrick
Connolly,
a
financial
adviser.
“We
don’t
42
our
customers
to
invest
in
art
because
the
downsides
are
greater
than
the
upsides.
It
doesn't
produce income or
earnings. What you
43
is exclusively based on supply and
demand, and there are
big movements
upwards or downwards if there are changes in the
economic environment,” he sai
d.
To invest in art as a true investment,
you need a starting fund of at least $$5,000. But
it’s not just about
having
enough
44
to
buy
the
painting
in
the
first
place.
Expensive
works
of
art
are
often
stored
in
protective
boxes
complete
with
detectors
to
monitor
humidity
and
temperature
levels,
and
to
protect
them
from
sun damage or other
45
such as a spilled cup of coffee. And if
you do put it on your wall, then
your
insurance costs are likely to be high. If word
gets out that you have expensive art hanging on
your wall,
then you're likely to be a
46
for
thieves.
Art is also not a regulated
investment so when things go wrong
–
for example, an artwork
turns out to be
a
fraud
（赝品）
–
then
investors cannot fall back on
47
for any repayment.
Of course
given the current environment of low interest
rates, that's still a(n)
48
return than
many savings accounts will give you. As
art has no association to the stock market, it
means paintings can
49
in value even when the market crashes,
making it a good option for investment
50
.
It is reported that after a decrease in
the global art market throughout 2016,
auction
（拍卖）
sales
51
in the first six months of 2017. Yet
you don't necessarily have to be super-wealthy to
invest in art. There are a
growing
number of art fairs and online marketplaces aimed
at buyers with a more
52
budget. Most art
industry
experts suggest that you buy a piece of art
because you like it, not because you want to get
rich. The
most
53
approach is probably to buy something
you like and can
54
and, be prepared to keep it
just for your own pleasure. If it goes
up in value that should be just a(n)
55
benefit.

Section B
Directions:
Read the
following three passages. Each passage is followed
by several questions or unfinished
statements. For
each of
them
there
are
four
choices marked A, B, C
and D.
Choose
the
one
that
fits
best
according to the
information given in the passage you have read.
( A )
Post-
00s is
a documentary about growing up. It covers almost
every aspect of millennials’
experiences
on
their
path
toward
adolescence
–
their
struggles
with
schoolwork,
their
relationship
with
peers,
their
confusion if a younger brother or
sister is born into the family, and their growing
desire to keep a distance
from
their
parents.
But
this
five-
episode
series
was
different
from
any
other
TV
program
with
a
similar
theme.
Post-00s was filmed over a
period of 10 years, during which the
show’s makers followed a group of kids
from when they were infants
through to when they became teenagers.
In other words, the show’s “characters”
grow older for real, and their stories
are all real.
“Coming
-of-
age”
stories, as they’re known, have a special appeal.
They satisfy our curiosity of looking
at someone else’s life, and we become
more and more attached to the characters as if we
truly know them.
And while we enjoy the
truthfulness of the stor
ies because
nothing is set in advance, we also can’t help but
feel the cruelty of reality. After all,
there’s no re
-writing of the
script
（剧本）
and there’s
no turning back –
this is
real life.
This realness
can also be seen in Boyhood, a 2014 film that won
the Silver Bear award for best director
at the 64th Berlin International Film
Festival. During a period of 12 years, the film
follows the life of Mason
Jr
–
played by US actor Ellar
Coltrane
–
from when he was
6 to when he finished high school.
One of Bo
yhood’s appeals
comes from its “ordinariness”. Mason Jr isn’t some
child genius... He is a
quietly spoken,
fairly typical American boy, growing up in the
Texas suburbs. He likes riding his bike and
playing video games.
While coming-of-age stories may look
ordinary on the outside, they often allow us to
look underneath
the surface and see
something extraordinary
–
the power of life itself.
56. In the documentary, we see
post-
00’s growing experience
EXCEPT
__________.
A. how they deal with their
studies
B. how
they help look after brothers or sisters
C. how they get along with
people of their age
D. how much they
long to be independent of their parents

Australians
have
long
been
known
for
having
a
relaxed
and
casual
attitude
to
life. According
to
Dr
Tanya King,
senior lecturer from Victoria’s Deakin University,
“It’s Australians’
egalitarianism,
sense of humor
and informal language
that are most commonly
mentioned as
examples of this attitude”.
②
Egalitarianism roots in the
way that the nation was built. In Australia’s
founding era in the late 1700s,
criminal settlers were often cruelly
treated and robbed of their basic human rights by
governors. The criminal
class, who were
mostly working-class Brits and Irish, was unable
to seek civic positions that were reserved for
immigrants who were not the criminal,
with the latter arguing that if criminals gained
equal rights it would be
‘rewarding
criminality’. Bec
ause of this, an
egalitarian spirit was worn as a symbol of honor
by many criminal
settlers. They may not
have had power, education or wealth, but they had
a shared belief in equality.
③
The informal way
Australians use language is also believed to root
in criminal times. Philologist Sidney
Baker once wrote that ‘no other class
would have a better talent for creating new terms
to fit in with their new
conditions
in
life’.
Cockney
rhyming
slang
brought
over
by
the
British
working
class
was
abbreviated
even
