Traveling Abroad
In recent years, more and more citizens here would like to travel abroad. In 1995, the number of people who would like to travel abroad was 10000, which increased to nearly 40000 in . And in , the number further climbed above 12,000. There are several reasons for the shocking rise.
The improvement of the economic conditions is probably the main reason for it. People do not need to worry about their diet and various other necessities. After visiting famous scenic spots throughout our country, the citizens’ taste has changed, with support of enough finance.
Moreover, enhancement of personal capacity is becoming more and more a requirement for those who want to make greater success. With the development of economy and technology, citizens begin to take advantage of different foreign products as well as education. Since most citizens have got used to their life at home, traveling abroad becomes one of the easiest ways to have direct contact with exotic cultures.
Many advantages as traveling abroad may bring to us, it may also bring about many disadvantages. For instance, there are many elites who have ever traveled abroad may be attracted by the nicer living and researching conditions abroad and thus never return, which is really a pity to our nation.
Comparatively speaking, traveling abroad is a serious decision to make. Maybe, look before you leap is better.

Part I Writing
21st century has brought with it an unprecedented variety of recreational activities ranging from traditional outdoor activities such as playing ball games to all kinds of online ones, the latter of which is a great appeal to the young generation. So I’d like to narrow my topic down to online recreational activities.
It goes without saying that various activities brought by modern technology have greatly broadened our horizon and brought much excitement to us. With access to the Internet, you can get to know people from any country in the world and you can talk with them, play games with them --- a temptation very hard to resist, and even see them via web cam. The disadvantage, however, is that anyone who lacks self-control would very easily get lost and become addicted to the online world, which in turn might seriously affect their life, work and interpersonal relationships.
As a college student, I think what really matters is to make better choice and exert more discipline. We’d better take advantage of good online recreational activities to enrich our lives and broaden the scope of knowledge. When it comes to those addictive, time-consuming and less meaningful activities, I think to stay away from them is a wise decision.
范文 2
With the development of living standard, people spend more time on various forms of recreational activities. People can do sports, singing karaoke, go dancing, go to the movies, play video games or online games, or surf the Internet.
Recreational activities are good to people’s health, both physically and mentally. Sports and dancing can keep people fit. Singing karaoke, playing video games or online games can satisfy people’s imagination. Surfing the Internet can bring people a lot of information and knowledge.
However, recreational activities might be harmful if people are addicted. Spending too much time on recreational activities will seriously influence people’s normal lives, especially work and study. Therefore, people will benefit from recreational activities only if they take part in them properly.

Ti（钛）、Na、Mn、Cr（铬）、Gd（钆），其中属于主族元素的有（ ）
A.4种 B.5种 C.6种 D.7种
【解析】选D。元素周期表中元素分主族、副族、0族和第Ⅷ族元素，属于主族元素的有：第ⅠA族（Na,K），第ⅡA族（Mg,Ca），第ⅢA族（Al），第ⅣA族（Si），第ⅥA族（O），共7种。铁为第Ⅷ族元素，其他为副族元素。
2.下列离子中，电子数大于质子数，且质子数大于中子数的是（ ）
A.D3O+ B.Li+ C.OD- D.OH-
【解析】选D。D3O+ 的质子数为11，电子数为10，中子数为11；Li+ 的质子数为3，电子数为2，中子数为4；OD- 的质子数为9，电子数为10，中子数为9；OH- 的质子数为9，电子数为10，中子数为8，故选D。
3.关于卤族元素的下列叙述中正确的是（ ）
A.卤族元素是典型的非金属元素，因此不能与其他非金属元素反应
B.卤族元素单质越活泼，其熔点和沸点就越高
C.卤族元素单质都能与水剧烈反应
D.卤族元素单质都能和氢气反应，且生成的气态氢化物的稳定性随单质氧化性的增强而增强
【解析】选D。卤族元素位于周期表中第ⅦA族，均为非金属元素，能与H2化合生成卤化氢，均能与水反应，只有F2反应相当剧烈，卤素单质的活泼性与其物理性质没有直接关系，故选 D。
4.（成都高一检测）两种粒子的核外电子排布相同，核电荷数不同，则它们可能是（ ）
A.两种不同元素的原子
B.一定是两种不同的离子
C.同一元素的原子和离子
D.两种不同元素的原子和离子
【解析】选D。由于两种粒子的核外电子排布相同，即电子数相同，可能是原子，也可能是离子，核电荷数不同，不属于同种元素。
5.下列操作能达到实验目的的是（ ）
A.检验钠和钾：分别取小粒投入含酚酞的水中，观察溶液颜色变化
B.检验氯化钠、溴化钾、碘化钾溶液：分别滴加溴水，再加入四氯化碳，振荡，观察颜色
C.除去氯化钠中的少量碘单质：加热
D.证明钾比钠活泼：向氯化钠水溶液中加入一小粒钾，观察现象
【解析】选C。钠和钾都能溶于水生成强碱；溴不能与溴化钾和氯化钠反应；碘易升华，加热可除去氯化钠中的少量碘单质；钾与盐的水溶液反应时，先与水发生置换反应。
6.下列递变情况中不正确的是（ ）
A.钠、镁、铝原子的最外层电子数依次增多
B.硅、磷、硫、氯元素的最高正化合价依次升高
C.碳、氮、氧、氟的原子半径依次增大
D.锂、钠、钾、铷的金属性依次增强
【解析】选C。同一周期从左至右，原子半径依次减小。
7.A、B、C、D、E五种元素同周期从左向右按原子序数递增（原子序数为5个连续的自然数）的顺序排列如下：
下列说法中正确的是（ ）
A.E元素的最高化合价为+7时，D元素的负化合价可为-2价
B.A（OH）n为强碱时，B（OH）m也一定为强碱
C.HnDOm为强酸时，E的非金属性一定很强
D.HnCOm为强酸时，E的单质可能有强还原性
【解析】选A。A项，若E元素的最高化合价为+7时，D元素的最高化合价必为+6价，则D元素的负化合价可为-2价。
A（OH）n为强碱时，B（OH）m可能为强碱，也可能为中强碱，还可能为弱碱。HnDOm为强酸，即D元素原子得电子能力很强，原子序数比D大1的E可能为原子得电子能力比D强的非金属元素，也可能为稀有气体元素。元素C与元素E的关系可有这样例子：C是16S，E是18Ar。
8.（多选）M元素的1个原子失去2个电子转移到Y元素的2个原子中去，形成离子化合物Z。下列说法中正确的是（ ）
A.Z可表示为MY2
B.Z可表示为M2Y
C.Z的电子式可表示为
D.M形成+2价阳离子
【解析】选A、D。M的一个原子失去2个电子，转移到2个Y原子中，故离子化合物Z可表示为MY2，其中存在M2+，A、D正确；Z的电子式不应把2个Y- 合并。
9.下列每组物质中含有化学键类型相同的是（ ）
A.NaCl、HCl、H2O、NaOH
B.Cl2、Na2S、HCl、SO2
C.HBr、CO2、H2O、CS2
D.Na2O2、H2O2、H2O、O3
【解析】选C。解此类题目的关键在于弄清各类化学键的形成本质。离子键是由阴、阳离子相互作用形成的，非极性键是由同种元素原子形成的'共价键，极性键是由不同种元素原子形成的共价键。A组中NaCl与NaOH中含有离子键，而HCl和H2O中只有共价键，NaOH中既含有离子键又含有共价键；B组中Cl2、HCl、SO2中只含共价键，而Na2S中只含离子键；而C组中均只含有共价键；D组中Na2O2含离子键、共价键，H2O2、H2O、O3中只含共价键，故C正确。
10.(2010济宁高一检测）下面是用电子式表示某些物质的形成过程 ，其中正确的是（ ）
【解析】选C。HCl不是离子化合物，A错；KCl、Na2S是离子化合物，电子式书写错误，B、D错误，只有C正确。
11.（广东高考）元素X、Y、Z原子序数之和为36，X、Y在同一周期，X+ 与Z2- 具有相同的核外电子层结构。下列推测不正确的是（ ）
A.同周期元素中X的金属性最强
B.原子半径X＞Y，离子半径X+＞Z2-
C.同族元素中Z的氢化物稳定性最高
D.同周期元素中Y的最高价含氧酸的酸性最强
【解析】选B。由X+ 与Z2- 具有相同核外电子层结构分析：X若为K，则Z为S，根据X、Y、Z原子序数之和为36推测Y只能为H，显然与“X、Y在同一周期”不符。所以X只能为Na、Z为O、Y为Cl，结合元素周期律可知B项不正确。
12.有三种短周期元素X、Y、Z，已知其最高价氧化物对应的水化物的酸性强弱是H2XO3＜H3YO4＜HZO3，则X、Y、Z的非金属性强弱顺序是（ ）
A.X＞Y＞Z B.X＞Z＞Y
C.Y＞X＞Z D.Z＞Y＞X
【解析】选D。本题主要考查元素的最高价氧化物对应水化物酸性的强弱与非金属性强弱的递变规律。由于非金属性越强，对应的最高价氧化物的水化物的酸性越强，因此，三种元素的非金属性强弱顺序是Z＞Y＞X。

In Nigeria, where tomatoes are a staple of local diets,the insect's effects are devastating. Retail prices for a 30 of tomatoes at local markets have risen from $0. 50 to $2.50. Farmers are reporting steep losses and a new $20 million tomato-paste factory has 31 production due to the shortages.
Given the moth's ability also to attack crops like pepper and potatoes, Audu Ogbeh, Nigeria's minister of agriculture, has warned that the pest may“create serious problems for food 32 ”in the country.Ogbeh says experts are investigating how to control the pest’s damage and prevent its spread, which has gone largely 33 until now.
Despite being the continent's second-largest producer of tomatoes, Nigeria is 34 on $1 billion worth of tomato-paste imports every year.as around 75% of the local harvest goes to waste thanks to a lack of proper storage facilities. A further 35 in local supplies is yet another unwelcome setback to the industry.

A.“Nearly everyone i know is addicted in some measure to the internet, ”wrote tony Schwartz in The New York Times. it's a common complaint these days. A steady stream of similar headlines accuse the net and its offspring apps, social media sites and online games of addicting us to distraction
B. There's little doubt that nearly everyone who comes in contact with the net has difficulty concentration than it takes to post a status update. as one person ironically put it in the comments section of Schwartz's online article, “As I was reading this very excellent article.I stopped at least half a dozen times to cheek my email.
C.There's something different about this technology: it is both invasive and persuasive. but who's at fault for its overuse? To find solutions, it's important to understand what we’re dealing with.There are four parties conspiring to keep you connected the tech, your boss, your friends and you.
D.The technologies themselves and their makers, are the easiest suspects to blame for our diminishing attention spans. Nicholas Carr,author of The Shallows： what the internet is doing Our brains, wrote, The net is designed to be an interruption system, a machine geared to dividing attention.
E.Online services like Facebook, twitter and the like, are called out of manipula-tion--making，products so good that people can't stop using them. after studying these products for several years, I wrote a book about how they do it. I learned it all starts with the business model. since these services rely on advertising revenue, The more frequently you use money they make.It’s no winder these companies employ teams of people focused on engineering their services to be as engaging as possible. these products aren't habit-forming by chance; it's by design. they have an incentive to keep us hooked.
F.However, as good as these services are, there are simple steps we can take to keep them at bay.For example, we can change how often we receive the distracting notifications that trigger our urge to check.According to adam marchick, ceo of mobile marketing company kahuna, less than 15 percent of smartphone users ever bother to adjust their notification setlings--meaning the remaining 85 percent of us default to the app makers' every preset trigger.Google and Apple have made it far too difficult to adjust these settings so it's up to us to take steps ensure we set these triggers to suit our own needs, not the needs of the app makers.
G.While companies like Facebook harvest attention to generate revenue from advertisers, other technologies have no such agenda. take email, for example. this system couldn't care less how often you use it. Yet to many, email is the most habit-forming medium of all.We check email at all hours of the day--we're obsessed, but why? Because that's what the boss wants.For almost all white-collar jobs, A slow
Response to a message could hurt not only your reputation but also your livelihood.
H.Your friends are also responsible.Think about this familiar scene.People gathered around a table, enjoying food and each others company. there's laughter and a bit of kidding. Then, during an interval in the conversation, someone takes out their phone to check who knows what.Barely anyone notices and no one says a thing.
I.Now imagine the same dinner,but instead of checking their phone, the person belches(打嗝)-loudly.Everyone notices. unless the meal takes place in a beer house, this is considered bad manners. The impolite act violates the basic rules of etiquette. one has to wonder why don’t we apply the same social norms to checking phones during meals, meetings and conversations as we do to other antisocial behaviors somehow, we accept it and say nothing when someone offends.
J.The reality is taking one's phone out at the wrong time is worse than belching because, unlike other minor offense, checking tech is contagious. once one person looks at their phone,other people feel compelled to do the same, starting a chain reaction. the more people are on their phones, the fewer people are talking until finally you are the only one left not reading email or checking twitter. from a societal perspective, phone checking is less like belching in public and more like another bad habit. our phones are like cigarettes-something to do when were bored or when our fingers need something to toy with seeing others enjoy a smoke,or sneak a quick glance, is too tempting to resist and soon everyone is doing it.
K.The technology, your boss, and your friends, all influence how often you find yourself using (or overusing )these gadgets. but there's still someone who deserves scrutiny--the person holding the phone.
L. I have a confession. even though i study habit-forming technology for a living, disconnecting is not easy for me.I'm online far more than I'd like like Schwartz and so many others, I often find myself distracted and off tack.I wanted to know why so i began self-monitoring to try to understand my behavior. that's when i discovered an uncomfortable truth. i use technology as an escape. when I'm doing something I'd rather not do, or when I'm someplace I'd rather not attention was often a good thing, like when passing time on public transportation, but frequently my tech use was not so benign. when i faced difficult work, like thinking through an article idea or editing the same draft for the hundredth time, for example, a more sinister screen would draw me in. i could easily escape discomfort.temporarlly.by answering email or browsing ing the web under the pretense of so-called”research. "though I desperately wanted to lay blame elsewhere, i finally had to admit that my bad habits had less to do with new-age.technology and more to do with old-fashioned procrastination(拖延)
M.it's easy to blame technology for being so distracting, but distraction is nothing new. Aristotle and Socrates dehated nature of “akrasia”--our tendency to do things agninst our interests. If we're honest with ourselves, tech is just another way to occupy our time and minds,if we weren’t on our devices. We’d likely do similarly unproductive.
N.personal technology is indeed more engaging than ever, and there's no doubt companies are engineering their products and services to be more compelling and attractive but would want it any other way the intended result of making something better is that people use it more. that's not necessarily a problem, that's progress.
O.These improvements don't mean we shouldn't attempt to control our use of technology. In order to make sure it doesn't control us, we should come to terms with the fact that it's more than the technology itself that’s responsible for our habits. our workplace culture, social norns and individual behaviors all play a part to put technology in its place, we must be conscious not only of how technology is changing, but also of how it is changing us.
