Norway is Teaching Travelers to Travel
After 15 people died during Easter in
1967, the Norwegian Trekking Association and the
Red
Cross announced their campaign
‘
Welcome to the mountains,
but be responsible
’.
Fjellv
ettreglene,
the
‘m
ountain
co
de’
(21)
encourages
people
to
have
a
healthy
and
respectful
relationship with
nature, has since become a crucial part of
Norwegian culture. It includes points
such as bringing necessary equipment
(22)
(assist)
yourself and others, seeking shelter if necessary
and feeling no shame in
turning around.
Nationally, Norway (23)
(experience) an 11% increase in tourism
in the past
decade. From just
1,000
tourists
in
the
whole
of
2010,
Trolltunga,
a
piece
of
rock
that
stands
horizontally out of the mountain, (24)
(see) 1,800 visitors in one
2017 day alone.
Why? Because people
want the same picture they see on Instagram and
Facebook. A lot don
’
t care
about the experience of the hike. They
just want proof (25)
they did it. But, while
good
for the economy, this
tourism boom has become a threat (26)
Norway
’
s
natural environment.
Used
toilet paper, (27)
around
(abandon) tents and
plastic bottles can be found littered all
Trolltunga. And with the high amount of
people who come unprepared for such an active
hike,
Norway
’
s
leading hiking group, Friluftsliv, also has called
for regulations on the number of tourists
(28)
(hike) to Trolltunga. Lasse Heimdal,
leader of the outdoor organization said,
“
On a busy day, you may have
to wait in line for an hour and a half just to get
a picture. To control
this,
we’d
like to regulate (29)
people can
hike in a day.
Starting
hike
times
should also
have
regulations so
people
don
’
t start too late and
find (30)

World
’
s Best
Restaurant
The
Black Swan, a rural pub in England has been named
“
the
world
’
s best
restaura
nt”
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
Traveler
s’
Choice awards.
So what
’
s it got
going for it?
Firstly, this
isn
’
t some backwater pub
enjoying in insignificance. Tommy Banks, a(n)
3

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
3
7
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

brothe
rs’
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
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
4
1
”
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
environmen
t,”
he
said.
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

art
market

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
(A)
Post-00s is a documentary about growing
up. It covers almost every aspect of
mille
nnials’
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
“
charact
ers” grow
older for real, and their stories are
all real.
“
Coming-of-
ag
e”
stories, as
th
ey’
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
stories
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 64
th
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 Boyhood
’
s
appeals comes from its
“
ordi
nariness
”
. Mason Jr
isn
’
t some child
geniu
s…
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
57.
What do Post-00 and Boyhood
have in common?
A.
They’
re intended to win an
award for best director.
B. The heroes
and heroines are characters themselves.
.
C.
They
’
re a kind of reality
show of ordinary kid
s’
growth.
D. The stories are based on
true life but polished by writers.
58.
Audience are interested in
“
coming-of-age
”
st
ories because
A. they can see the truth of life
C. they are much fond of gossip
.
B. they know the
characters well
D. they appreciate
stories of daily life
59.
Which of the following might be the
best title for the passage?
A. Post-00s
are different geniuses
C. Documentary
is real life
WHAT A RELIEF!
B. Actors are ordinary characters
D. Life is one big story
