1．We travel the world to experience an unfamiliar culture．It's an added bonus when the destination happens to be home to several cultures，thanks to its diverse population．
Toronto
Toronto happens to be one of the most diverse in the world．In fact，nearly half of Toronto's residents were born in another country．This cultural mix is most apparent in the city's community pockets，including Chinatown，Greektown，Little Italy etc．And although English is most widely spoken here，the
streets are constantly filled with over 140 different languages．
Los Angeles
Los Angeles is known and loved for its varied landscape，which offers opportunities to swim at the beach，hike in the park and explore a lively city all on the same day．That diversity also extends to its population--people from approximately 140 countries，speaking 86 different languages call the City of Angeles home where visitors can get a taste of multicultural mix．
Sydney
English-speaking visitors to Sydney won't have any trouble buying their tickets to the Opera House or ordering up some Aussie barbecue，as it' s the main language used here．That said，it's not the only language you may overhear．Approximately 250 different dialects are spoken in this Australian city．This makes sense，given that 40 percent of the population were born overseas．
Singapore
Singapore might be small，but it packs in a lot of diversity．The Southeast Asian destination has four official languages--English，Malay，Mandarin and Tamil--and approximately 40 percent of its population were born abroad．

2．My 11-year-old daughter has been awarded an academic scholarship to a private school．It's only a modest discount，but the scholarship means she'll bypass the snaking waiting list-provided my husband and I can fund the＄20，000 a year．Should we pay the private school fees，or choose free education instead？
I always assumed my children would go to private school，like I did．Not because my family is wealthy，but because I believe that the best education is private．It took years for me to make peace with the fact that my two children attended our local public primary school．They'll go to a private high school，I told myself．Yet here we are，My eldest is now in her last year of primary school，and my husband and I will struggle to afford private school．If so，I could increase my work hours．My law degree was supposed to be my ticket to a good job and a solid income，but that's not quite how it turned out．
During many sleepless nights，I felt troubled by the decision．Although I want the best for my daughter，I have my own dreams too．I can't sacrifice everything for my precious girl．I explain that I want to be a positive role model for my daughter，and an unhappy parent is terrible strain on a family．I point out that not even the privilege of private school will protect my children from disappointment or struggle．And finally，it's decided．My daughter is going to the public school behind our home．She couldn't be more pleased．
It's taken me a little longer，but now I'm content．More than my fancy private school education，it's my family that shaped me．With high school now 25 years in the past，I can no longer remember the mathematical problems and Shakespearean quotes I once knew so perfectly．The lessons from my childhood home．however，have proved impossible to forget．
（1）From the passage we know that．

A．Because her daughter earned an academic scholarship．
B．Because she wanted her daughter to receive the best education．
C．Because she wanted her daughter to skip the waiting list．
D．Because her daughter's potential was wasted at the public primary school．
（3）The underlined word "strain" in Paragraph 3 refers to．
A．a(chǎn)nger
B．comfort
C．burden
D．relief
（4）What does the passage indicate？
A．Parents should make every sacrifice for their children．

3．On Aug 12，as white nationalists clashed with anti-racists over whether a statue of a leader in the American Civil war should be removed from a park in Charlottesville，a speeding car drove into the crowd，killing one and injuring dozens of others，reported The Washington Post．
The car driver was a 20-year-old white nationalist．Actually many of the white nationalists were young men．Some may wonder how the younger generation could have become caught up in racism，yet it's believed that racist groups are using modern techniques to appeal to them． "Younger people have access to many more forms of information than ever before in human histor - social media，" Oren Segal，director of the anti-defamation （誹謗） league's Center on Extremism in the U．S．，told Newsweek．
According to Segal，racist groups introduce people to "hate" by finding ways to communicate with them online．And Paul Becker，a sociology professor at the University of Dayton，U．S．，believes that some young people may even be using this to fill a "void（空虛感）" in their life． "These groups provide a place to belong，and give their lives a goal or purpose，" he told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution．
Meanwhile，the changing of the U．S．population structure is causing concern for some people after experts predicted that minority groups in the U．S．could become the majority by 2050，leading to discontent and anger，according to Newsweek．
The problem of racism has been on the rise in the U．S．for some time．According to a Gallup poll in March，42 percent of Americans worry a great deal about race relations，while the figure was only 13 percent in 2010．
But like most problems，it's unlikely to be solved overnight． "Even the best policy won't stop every attack．But they could，at the very least，help make events like Charlottesville less likely．" wrote Vox．
（1）Which statement is NOT why racism in the U．S．is going from bad to worse？
A．The statue of a leader in the American Civil war is to be removed from a park．
B．Participation of racism may give the racists a purpose and a sense of belonging．
C．Minority groups may compose a larger part of the population in less than 40 years．
D．The advance of technology is making it easier for more people to get involved in racism．
（2）What might Paul Becker agree with？
A．Certain social media should be cut off from young people．
B．It's common for the young in the U．S．to feel empty and aimless．
C．Involvement in racism gives some young people a purpose．
D．The Internet plays a positive role in keeping the young free from racism．
（3）What can we learn from the last paragraph？
A．It's impossible to stop racism．
B．Efforts should be made to solve racism in a short time．
C．Policies can contribute to the decrease of racial problems．
D．Events like Charlottesville are caused by drawbacks of policies．
（4）The basic tone of the author in writing the article is．
A．critical
B．objective
C．positive
D．sympathetic組卷：5引用：1難度：0.6
