It’s only 4 hours flying time from Sydney, but a world away.What better place to rest than a country where the only place people hurry is on the football field and things are done in“Fiji time”？

Viti Levu — Great Fiji — is the largest island. Here you’ll find the capital Suva and the international airport at Nadi. Vatoa, on the other hand，is a tiny island in the farthest part of Fiji. Then there are 331 other islands，many of them with places to stay.

With less than a million people living on islands, you’ll never feel crowded. And with a climate (气候)that changes only for five degrees between seasons, there’s never a bad time to come.

From cities to villages, from mountains to beaches, from water sports to wooden artworks, Fiji can give you more adventures and special experiences than you could find almost anywhere in the world.

Whenever you come, wherever you go, you’re sure to see some unforgettable events. From war dances to religious (宗教的)songs.From market days to religious days. It’s not just staged for tourists；it’s still a part of everyday life in Fiji. And any one of us can enjoy Fiji’s spirit by being part of the traditional(传统的) sharing of yaqona, a drink made from the root of a Fiji plant.

So why not join us for the experience of a lifetime?

When students and parents are asked to rate subjects according to their importance, the arts are unavoidably at the bottom of the list.Music is nice，people seem to say, but not important. Too often it is viewed as mere entertainment, but certainly not an education priority (优先). This view is shortsighted. In fact, music education is beneficial and important for all students.

Music tells us who we are. Because music is an expression of the beings who create it, it reflects their thinking and values, as well as the social environment it came from. Rock music represents a lifestyle just as surely as does a Schubert song. The jazz influence that George Gershwin and other musicians introduced into their music is obviously American because it came from American musical traditions. Music expresses our character and values. It gives us identity as a society.

Music provides a kind of perception (感知) that cannot be acquired any other way.

Science can explain how the sun rises and sets. The arts explore the emotive (情感的) meaning of the same phenomenon. We need every possible way to discover and respond to our world for one simple but powerful reason：No one way can get it all.

The arts are forms of thought as powerful in what they communicate as mathematical and scientific symbols. They are ways we human beings“talk” to each other. They are the language of civilization through which we express our fears, our curiosities, our hungers, our discoveries, our hopes. The arts are ways we give form to our ideas and imagination so that they can be shared with others. When we do not give children access to an important way of expressing themselves such as music，we take away from them the meanings that music expresses.

Science and technology do not tell us what it means to be human. The arts do. Music is an important way we express human suffering, celebration, the meaning and value of peace and love.

So music education is far more necessary than people seem to realize.

[语篇解读] 音乐课在学校课程设置中被学生家长认为可有可无，无足轻重；但是音乐有着丰富的内涵，是学校教育必不可少的组成部分，请重视音乐课吧。

5．According to Paragraph 1, students________. A. regard music as a way of entertainment B. disagree with their parents on education C. view music as an overlooked subject D. prefer the arts to science

[解析] 事实细节题。根据第一段第三句“Too often it is viewed as mere entertainment...”可知。

C. express people’s feelings in different ways D. explain what it means to be human differently

Camping wild is a wonderful way to experience the natural world and, at its best, it makes little environmental influence. But with increasing numbers of people wanting to escape into the wilderness, it is becoming more and more important to camp unobtrusively (不引人注目地) and leave no mark.

Wild camping is not permitted in many places, particularly in crowded lowland Britain. Wherever you are, find out about organizations responsible for managing wild spaces, and contact them to find out their policy on camping and shelter building. For example, it is fine to camp wild in remote parts of Scotland, but in England you must ask the landowner’s permission, except in national parks.

Camping is about having relaxation, sleeping outdoors, experiencing bad weather, and making do without modern conveniences. A busy，fully

equipped campsite(野营地)

seems to go against this, so seek out smaller, more remote places with easy access to open spaces and perhaps beaches. Better still, find a campsite with no road access：walking in makes a real adventure.

Finding the right spot to camp is the first step to guaranteeing a good night’s sleep. Choose a campsite with privacy and minimum influence on others and the environment. Try to use an area where people have obviously camped before rather than creating a new spot.When camping in woodland, avoid standing dead trees, which may fall on a windy night. Avoid animal runs and caves, and possible homes of biting insects. Make sure you have most protection on the windward side. If you make a fire, do so downwind

of your shelter.Always consider what influence you might have on the natural world.Avoid damaging plants. A good campsite found, not made—changing it should be unnecessary.

[语篇解读] 野营是人们感受自然的绝佳方式，既感受自然又不破坏自然，但我们需要知道该做什么和不该做什么事情。

1．You needn’t ask for permission when camping in________. A. national parks in England B. most parts of Scotland C. crowded lowland Britain D. most parts of England

[解析] 事实细节题。由第二段．..，but in England you must ask the landowner’s permission，except in national parks.可知A项正确。

[答案] A

2．The author thinks that a good campsite is one________. A. with easy access B. used previously

C. with modern conveniences D. far away from beaches

[解析] 推理判断题。由第三段最后一句“Better still，find a campsite with no road access...”排除A项；由第三段首句“Camping is about having relaxation，sleeping outdoors，experiencing bad weather，and making do without modern conveniences.”排除C项；由“...seek out smaller，more remote places with easy access to open spaces and perhaps beaches.”排除D项；由第四段第三句可知B项正确。

(第115篇)

Sunday is more like Monday than it used to be. Places of business that used to keep daytime“ business hours” are now open late into the night. And on the Internet, the hour of the day and the day of the week have become irrelevant(不相关的). A half century ago in the United States, most people experienced strong and precise dividing lines between days of rest and days of work，school time and summer time. Today the boundaries still exist, but they seem not clear.

The law in almost all states used to require stores to close on Sunday; in most, it no longer does. It used to keep the schools open in all seasons except summer; in most, it still does. And whether the work week should strengthen its legal limits，or whether it should become more“ flexible”， is often debated. How should we, as a society，organize our time? Should we go even further in relaxing the boundaries of time until we live in a world in which every minute is much like every other?

These are not easy questions even to ask. Part of the difficulty is that we rarely recognize the“law of time” even when we meet it face to face. We know as children that we have to attend school a certain number of hours, a certain number of days, a certain number of years—but unless we meet the truant officer(学监), we may well think that we should go to school due to social custom and parents’ demand rather than to the law. As adults we are familiar with“extra pay for overtime working，” but less familiar with the fact that what constitutes(构成) “overtime” is a matter of legal definition. When we turn the clock forward to start daylight

saving time, have we ever thought to ourselves：“ Here is

the law in action”？ As we shall see, there is a lot of law that has great influence on how we organize and use time: compulsory education law, overtime law, and daylight

saving

law—as well as law about Sunday closing, holidays, being late to work ，time zones, and so on. Once we begin to look for it, we will have no trouble finding a law of time to examine and assess.

[语篇解读] 文章通过开头句(Sunday is more like Monday than it used to be.和过去相比，现在星期天倒更像星期一。)表明了我们的生活由时间规律来支配。

1．By saying “Sunday is more like Monday that it used to be”，the writer means that________.

A. work time is equal to rest time

B. many people have a day off on Monday C. it is hard for people to decide when to rest D. the line between work time and rest time is unclear

[解析] 推理判断题。第一段首句Sunday is more like Monday than it used to be.是提纲挈领式的句子，后面紧接着举例论证了这一观点尤其是根据第一段最后一句可知我们上班时间和休息时间这两个界限的模糊性。从而推断本题选择D。

[答案] D

2．The author raises the questions in Paragraph 2 to introduce the fact that people________.

A. fail to make full use of their time B. enjoy working overtime for extra pay C. are unaware of the law of time D. welcome flexible working hours

[解析] 推理判断题。第二段主要论述时间规律问题，比如过去要求所有的商场星期天关门休业；过去除了夏季外，要求所有的学校所有季节全部开放，在很大程度上，今天商场不是关门休息，而是继续营业，学校继续上课，从而说明了人们没有意识到时间的自然规律问题。因此答案选择C。

[答案] C

3．According to the passage, most children tend to believe that they go to school because they________.

A. need to acquire knowledge B. have to obey their parents C. need to find companions D. have to observe the law

[解析] 事实细节题。根据第三段We know as children that we have to attend school a certain number of hours，a certain number of days，a certain number of years—but unless we meet the truant officer，we may well think we should go to school due to social custom and parents’ demand rather than the law.这句信息句分析得知，这里大部分的孩子认为他们必须上学的原因应该是服从父母而非遵守法律。故选择B。

[答案] B

4．What is the main idea of the passage? A. Our life is governed by the law of time. B. How to organize time is not worth debating. C. New ways of using time change our society. D. Our time schedule is decided by social customs.

[解析] 主旨大意题。从头到尾，文章论述的是时间掌控我们的生活。最后一句就是点睛之笔。

[答案] A
