1.Hiking,a kind of interaction with nature,provides fantastic exercise,combining sightseeing and workouts into one.Here are some unforgettable hiking vacations that will lead you into the thick of your destination.
Larapinta Trail,Australia
Dying for a good hike through the outback(內(nèi)陸)?Then head to Australia' s Larapinta Trail,a 130-mile trip through the Northern Territory of the island continent.Almost the entire hike is desert.Perhaps the best way to end a long day in the hot Australian sun is to watch the pink-and-orange sunset,open a sleeping bag and look up.Repeat visitors to the Larapinta say this part of Australia offers some of the best stargazing in the world.
Inca Trail,Peru
Today,as part of an effort to minimize environmental impact,trail(線路) access is limited to 500 people per day,and most hikers participate as part of guided groups.And the most thoughtful thing is that the groups hire porters to carry the luggage,so hikers need only to worry about enjoying the scenery!Most of these organized trails include tent accommodations and surprisingly delicious three-course meals.Of course,they also include a final day at Machu Picchu,the "Lost City of the Incas".
Cape Scott Trail,British Columbia
To call the five-day hike challenging would be the understatement of the century.The adventure begins gradually.From the trailhead at Cape Scott Provincial Park,the trail follows an old settler's road along a stream through a 4-mile stretch of wetland.With every step,the mud threatens to add to what surely has become a sizable boot collection.Because the rivers are so wide,visitors have to take the cable-car.
Via Ferrata,Italy
The trails themselves date to World War I,when Italian forces built them as a way to move soldiers from one section of the Alps to another.Today,with the war in the distant past,the routes provide the perfect venue for hikers looking for a day-long escape.
(1)What attracts visitors most for Larapinta Trail?
A.Having the longest hike.
B.Touring the continent.
C.Exploring in the desert.
D.Watching the starry sky.
(2)What makes Inca Trail sweet?
A.Free accommodations are provided.
B.Hikers needn't take their luggage.
C.Hikers themselves serve as guides.
D.The meals are specially cooked.
(3)Which of the following trails might be risky for hikers?
A.Inca Trail.
B.Larapinta Trail.
C.Cape Scott Trail.
D.Via Ferrata.組卷:2引用:2難度:0.5 -
2.Arouca Geopark in Portugal has announced that visitors are free to visit its record-setting bridge,the 516 Arouca Bridge.Though it's quite high,it's the length of the bridge that has set a record.It's the world's longest hanging bridge for walkers.
The bridge runs between two mountains in Arouca Geopark.The "516" in its name comes from the fact that it's 516 meters.Until the 516 Arouca Bridge was completed,the longest hanging bridge for walkers was the 494-meter-long Charles Kuonen Bridge in Randa,Switzerland.To replace an older crossing that was damaged by falling rocks,it was opened to the public five years ago,as the website for what is now the world's second longest hanging bridge says.
The 516 Arouca Bridge,started in May,2018,is made mainly of metal.It cost ﹩2.8 million and took two years to complete.However,it was not until one year later that the bridge was officially opened.It is a little scary to walk on.The sides and bottom of the bridge are built with a metal grid(網(wǎng)格) and it's easy to see through it.At its highest point,the bridge is 175 meters off the ground.Far,far below is the rushing Paiva River.
Arouca Geopark is famous for its beautiful natural scenery and the many outdoor activities.Arouca's leader,Margarida Belém,says proudly, "There's no other bridge like this one in the world." All of the city leaders think the bridge can attract people from all over the world for a lot of different reasons.Some might come for the scenery.Others might come to see how the bridge was built.But perhaps most will come to enjoy the safe,but scary experience of walking across.Its website describes the walk as "the most exciting 516 meters of your life".
(1)What does the underlined word "it" in paragraph 2 refer to?
A.Arouca Geopark.
B.The 516 Arouca Bridge.
C.The Charles Kuonen Bridge.
D.The website for the bridge.
(2)In which year was the 516 Arouca Bridge opened officially?
A.In 2018.
B.In 2019.
C.In 2020.
D.In 2021.
(3)What do the Arouca's leaders expect of the 516 Arouca Bridge?
A.It can offer exciting experiences.
B.It can boost local tourism.
C.It can be protected well by visitors.
D.It can make walkers safer.
(4)What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.World's Longest Hanging Bridge Is Opened

3.Japanese fans who watched their national team be defeated by the Ivory Coast on Saturday showed it is possible to lose graciously (優(yōu)雅地),when they stayed behind after the match to help clean up.
Despite seeing Japan's Blue Samurais lose 2-1 against the Ivory Coast's national team at the Arena Perambuco in Recife,the Japanese audience armed with plastic bags searched their side of the stadium and gathered up dropped litter.While gathering waste after a sporting event is customary in Japan,the audience's actions came as a shock to football fans from other countries.
This isn't the first time the Japanese have taken trash outside the stadium.The 1998 FIFA World Cup held in France was the first ever World Cup that Japan had qualified for.After their first group game against Argentina,the Japanese fans gave the world a lesson in politeness and respect by actually cleaning the football stadium seats.They picked up all the trash around them whether it was theirs or not.They then walked out and threw the trash in the garbage cans before leaving.
The all-around cleanliness of Japanese large cities comes as a culture shock to people coming from other big cities in the world.This tidiness is not due to millions of dollars spent on street cleaners and "Let's clean-up our city" campaigns.It's not due to effective public works or community service.It's due to one simple thing:They don't throw their rubbish on the floor.This unique and rare concept allows for both huge cities and the countryside to stay neat and tidy.
To reinforce (加強(qiáng)) this behavior,the common signs in Japan ask people to take their litter home with them.Then,to reinforce the sign,hey usually have no garbage cans in the parks.So when faced with the choice of throwing their garbage on the ground or keeping it with them,they keep it.They don't need a "Don't Litter" or "Keep Japan beautiful" sign.They have been doing it their whole lives and are used to taking their garbage with them.
(1)The story in Paragraph 3 mainly shows that
A.Japanese people are used to carrying their own trash
B.Japanese fans have a habit of cleaning up the stadium
C.Japanese fans often clean stadium seats before the game
D.the Japanese are very interested in watching football games
(2)What can we say about Japanese big cities' cleanliness?
A.It has become common practice.
B.It is the result of community service.
C.It costs millions of dollars every year.
D.It exists because of public campaigns.
(3)Which of the following do the Japanese accept as normal?
A.Punishing the behavior of littering.
B.Many signs reading "Don't Litter".
C.Lots of garbage cans in the parks.
D.Taking litter away with them.
(4)The author's attitude to the Japanese audience might be that of
A.criticism
B.unconcern
C.respect
D.doubt組卷:5引用:2難度:0.5

Every time Jim crossed the street on his way to work,he would see a little girl selling flowers on the street.She sat by a large green board with the names of the flowers and their prices on it.Unfortunately,no one paid attention to her,and she rarely sold anything.Jim wanted to help her,and one day he got his chance.His aunt would retire,and he thought a bouquet (花束) would be a great gift.
"Hello,could you please make me a bouquet of roses?" Jim said as he approached the girl.
The girl didn't raise her head and just stared at the same spot on the ground. "I'm Cassy.Thank you for buying flowers from me," she said. "Could you please select the flowers by yourself and give them to me?I will tie them together for you.I can't see. "
"Oh,I'm sorry," Jim said as he picked the flowers and handed them to her.Within several seconds,the girl made a lovely bouquet for Jim.
"Here," she said,holding the bouquet. "That'll be ﹩5."
"Thanks.They're beautiful," Jim said and walked away after placing the money in the hat beside Cassy.
The next day,Jim went to work and he decided to have a quick talk with Cassy on the way.However,he didn't see Cassy where she used to be that morning.He thought she might be late and decided to meet her the next day,but she didn't show up for the next few days in a row (連續(xù)地).
Jim was concerned about Cassy,wondering if something bad had happened to Cassy.Surprisingly,he finally met Cassy again on the street with her flowers.
Paragraph 1:
Jim was so delighted to see Cassy that he ran to her at once.
_________________
Paragraph 2:
Jim then drove Cassy to her home,where he met her sick mother,Jade.
