of
popular
tourist
attractions.
Alabama:AlabamaGulfCoastBeaches
If
Alabama
wasn’t
the
location
for
your
next
summer
beach
vacation,you
may
need
to
reconsider.There
are
32
miles
of
white
sand
that
have
washed
down
from
the
Appalachian
Mountains
thousands
of
years.That’s
probably
why
over
six
million
people
visit
Alabama’s
Gulf
Coast
beaches
every
year.Ten
dollars
per
person.

Alaska

wildlife
has
increased
45
percent.The
Kenai
Fjords
Wildlife
Cruise
will
bring
you
close
to
whales,sea
lions,and
sea
birds.A
five-hour
trip
starts
at
noon
and
covers
55
miles
of
sea,and
it
will
be
the
best
$98
you
have
ever
spent.
Arkansas:HotSpringsNationalPark
Skip
the
beach
and
choose
a
new
type
of
relaxation
at
Hot
Springs
National
Park.It’s

the
smallest
national
park.There’s
a
no-booking
policy,perfect
for
travellers

B
Were
the
birds
on
the
ice
ducks
or
geese?Cruz
Genet,11,and
Anthony
Skopick,10,couldn’t
agree.There
was
only
one
way
to
find
out.So
on
a
cold
January
evening,the
two
friends
risked
onto
the
frozen
pond
near
their
house
in
Frankfort,Illinois,to
get
a
better
look.First
they
threw
a
small
stone
to
test
it.Then
they
stepped
on
it.Believing
the
ice
would
hold
their
weight,Anthony
took
a
few
steps,then
he
fell
through
the
seemingly
frozen
ice.
Cruz
rushed
to
help
his
frightened
friend—the
pond
“ate”
him
too.Cruz
managed
to
lift
himself
out
of
the
water
and
onto
a
more
reliable
part.He
then
carefully
made
his
way
to
Anthony.But
the
ice
didn’t
hold,and
he
fell
in
again.This
time
he
couldn’t
get
out.The
boys
quickly
lost
feeling
in
their
arms
and
legs.Cruz
was
sure
he
was
going
to
die.
Anthony’s
older
sister
had
seen
the
boys
fall
through
the
ice
and
started
screaming
for
help.John
Lavin,a
neighbour
driving
nearby
on
his
way
to
the
grocery
store,heard
her.He
quickly
pulled
over.Seeing
the
boys,he
kicked
off
his
shoes,and
ran
into
the
freezing
water.Lavin
made
his
way
to
Cruz
and
Anthony
and
saved
them
back
to
land.They
were
taken
to
the
hospital,where
doctors
discovered
that
their
five-minute
stay
in
the
water
had
lowered
their
body
temperature
nearly
ten
degrees.
Fortunately,the
boys
have
fully
recovered,though
they
are
still
moved
by
their
fearless
neighbour.“Just
to
think,”
says
Cruz,“if
he
weren’t
there,I
could
have
died.”
4.Why
did
Cruz
and
Anthony
step
on
the
ice?
A.To
go
skating.

trap
some
birds.
C.To
settle
a
disagreement.
D.To
test
the
strength
of
the
ice.
5.How
did
Cruz
feel
when
caught
in
the
water?
A.Hopeless.
B.Puzzled.
C.Shocked.
D.Calm.
6.What
basically
saved
the
two
boys’
lives?
A.Screaming
of
an
older
sister.
B.Better
care
of
doctors.
C.Lowering
of
their
body
temperature.
D.Brave
act
of
a
neighbour.
7.What
is
the
best
title
for
the
text?
A.Two
Boys
Falling
in
the
Water
B.A
Heroic
Man
to
the
Rescue
C.Duck
or
Geese,It
Is
a
Question
D.Curiosity

the
Cat
C
Special
boxes
lie
at
the
bottom
of
my
locked
filing
cabinet.Deposited
there
are
important
letters
and
cards
collected
throughout
my
life,from
my
grandparents,school
friends,parents,wife
and
son.Since
the
invention
of
e-mail
though,they’ve
been
few
and
far
between.
Tonight
is
New
Year’s
Eve
2029
and
there’s
a
very
special
box
of
letters
I
want
to
look
at.But
first
there’s
something
I
have
to
do—The
Ritual
(惯例).
I
go
to
my
trusted
computer
and
start.I
begin
to
type:Dear—.I
leave
the
name
blank
for
now,anticipating
the
thrill
of
typing
it
in.“I
hope
you
are
well
and
I
wonder
what
your
life
is
like.Are
you
still
planning
to
move
to
that
villa
in
Portugal?Did
your
son
marry
Fiona?Is
your
mother
still
alive?”
Questions
surge
into
my
mind.
For
the
next
two
hours
I
sit
writing—about
what
I’ve
been
doing
for
the
last
year,my
failing
health,my
increasing
wealth
and
my
sometime
difficult
marriage;then
about
my
goals
and
ambitions.Will
he
be
interested?Do
I
climb
Mt.Kilimanjaro?Do
I
get
that
novel
published?The
one
that’s
been
rejected
more
times
than
I
care
to
think
about.
Finally,it’s
finished
at
11:30
pm.I
fill
in
the
recipient’s
name,print
my
letter,sign
and
address
it
and
then
seal
it
up
with
tape.I
then
delete
the
document
and
empty
the
trash
folder—to
avoid
the
possibility
of
temptation.That
completes
the
ritual!
I
walk
over
to
my
“special
box”.It
contains
ten
long,white,thick
envelopes,all
with
the
same
handwriting.I
place
the
one
I
have
just
written
in
at
the
back
and
take
the
one
out
at
the
front.It’s
dated
2019,and
labelled
“to
be
opened
on
31st
December,2029”.
The
cycle
is
finally
complete!I
open
it,trembling
with
anticipation.I
begin
to
read,tearing
up
a
little
as
I
do
so.Throughout
the
last
ten
long,eventful
years,of
life,death,joy
and
heartbreak,it
has
been
waiting
patiently
in
this
box
for
me,though
I
now
have
no
memory
of
ever
having
written
it.
8.Why
does
the
author
receive
fewer
“important
letters”
these
days?
A.He
has
moved
from
his
original
address.
B.He
is
rarely
in
contact
with
his
friends
and
family.
C.People
communicate
with
each
other
less
often
than
before.
D.Electronic
communication
has
largely
replaced
physical
letters.
9.Who
does
the
underlined
word
“he”
in
Paragraph
4
refer
to?
A.The
author
himself.
B.The
author’s
son.
C.The
author’s
school
friend.
D.The
author’s
book
publisher.
10.Why
does
the
author
delete
the
completed
letter
from
his
computer?
A.So
that
no
one
else
will
be
able
to
read
it.
B.So
that
he
won’t
read
it
ahead
of
schedule.
C.Because
he
decides
at
last
not
to
send
it.
D.Because
he
wants
to
forget
what
has
happened.
11.How
does
the
author
feel
as
he
is
about
to
open
his
special
letter?
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
A.Relieved.
B.Moved.
C.Excited.
D.Afraid.
D
There
is
a
picture:A
polar
bear
is
lying
lifeless
on
a
beach.On
the
shore,in
the
background,stand
three
guards,talking
to
each
other.One
of
them
has
a
deadly
weapon
hanging
casually
on
his
shoulder.This
powerful
image
has
made
people
question
the
motivation
for
this
kind
of
tourism,or
ecotourism.Does
our
proximity(接近)
to
large
animals
in
the
wild,frequently
fueled
by
a
desire
for
exciting
images,lead
to
such
animals
becoming
accustomed
to
human
contact?If
that
is
the
case,surely
the
losing
side
will
end
up
paying
the
ultimate
price
for
such
proximity.
To
my
sorrow,I
have
recently
returned
from
a
trip
to
Svalbard,and
indeed
stood
two
weeks
ago
on
the
very
beach
where
the
bear
was
shot.The
bear’s
death
should
never
have
happened.Was
the
beach
examined
beforehand?Was
there
access
to
flares
(照明弹)
to
scare
off
a
bear
that
appeared
suddenly?These
are
standard
measures
for
any
operator.The
incident
is
probably
the
result
of
a
terrible
systematic
failure.
Nevertheless,the
incident
should
not
negate
the
value
of
ecotourism.In
its
best
form,this
kind
of
travel
has
very
little
impact,or
indeed
has
a
positive
effect,on
the
environment
where
it
takes
place.This
can
be
by
making
financial
donations
to
conservation
groups,providing
income
to
local
communities,or
ensuring
protection
of
certain
areas
or
animals.In
Svalbard,visitors
become
ambassadors
for
the
endangered
polar
bear,increasing
awareness
of
the
fact
that
the
far
greater
danger
they
are
facing
is
the
sea
ice
melt
in
the
Arctic
Ocean.
Ecotourism
is
an
expanding
market
that
brings
benefits
as
well
as
challenges
to
the
regions
around
the
world
in
which
it
operates.Simply
closing
off
these
regions
is
not
the
answer.?
12.Why
was
the
polar
bear
dead?
A.It
was
probably
hunted
for
its
fur
by
tourists.
B.It
was
probably
frightened
to
death
by
flares.
C.The
proper
procedures
weren’t
probably
followed.
D.The
beach
wasn’t
probably
equipped
with
safety
devices.
13.What
is
the
third
paragraph
mainly
about?
A.Ecotourism
could
be
developed
properly.
B.Financial
donations
should
be
strongly
advocated.
C.Environmental
awareness
has
greatly
increased.
D.Visitors
have
a
guilty
conscience
about
ecotourism.
14.What
does
the
underlined
sentence
in
the
last
paragraph
suggest?
A.More
challenges
haven’t
yet
been
accepted.
B.Better
measures
for
conducting
ecotourism
are
a
good
choice.
C.The
environmental
benefits
from
ecotourism
are
very
obvious.
D.The
positive
effects
of
protecting
tourists
haven’t
yet
been
felt.
15.What
is
the
purpose
of
the
text?
A.To
cause
readers
to
focus
on
polar
bears.
B.To
stimulate
readers
to
reflect
on
ecotourism.
C.To
stress
side
effects
that
ecotourism
has
caused.
D.To
analyse
the
reason
why
the
polar
bear
was
killed.

TravellingalongSilkRoad
Travelling
Travelling
along
the
old
Silk
Road
can
be
a
quite
interesting
and
rewarding
experience.Here
is
some
information
that
the
visitor
should
consider
when
planning
a
possible
travel
on
the
road.
Language
While
travelling
along
the
road,the
visitor
can
meet
with
about
20
different
nationalities.　1　
Some
ethnic
groups
began
learning
Mandarin
(普通话)
and
adopted
the
lifestyle
of
the
Han
people.Chinese
became
the
official
language
in
the
autonomous
regions.　2　?
Accommodations
The
Silk
Road
spans
most
of
China,from
modern
cities
in
the
central
China
to
villages
and
towns
in
the
remote
west.Accordingly
accommodations
along
the
route
range
from
high
standard
hotels
to
simple
guesthouse.
In
big
cities
like
Dunhuang,Urumqi,Lanzhou,the
visitor
can
enjoy
high
standard
hotels.They
all
provide
excellent
conditions
and
good
services,and
they
are
quite
safe.　3　
Visitors
without
money
may
consider
the
cheaper
guesthouses
because
these
guesthouses
with
simpler
equipment
and
basic
service
are
fit
enough
to
live
in
for
most
Chinese
travellers.In
the
remote
villages
only
simple
lodgings
are
available.　4　?
TravelbyRoad
Buses
are
the
most
inexpensive
method
of
transport
along
the
Silk
Road
but,unfortunately,they
are
very
slow.　5　
A
travel
by
car
can
be
the
only
way
to
visit
sites
far
from
cities
or
towns
that
would
otherwise
be
hard
to
reach.Rental
prices
are
based
on
the
number
of
days
and
kilometers
travelled,and
sometimes
they
can
be
negotiated(协商).?
A.It
offers
good
views
of
the
mountains.
B.Some
of
them
speak
their
own
languages.
C.Learn
some
of
their
languages
before
going.
D.But
this
kind
of
hotels
is
also
the
most
expensive.
E.These
locations
offer
nothing
but
a
quite
simple
room.
F.Cars
are
offered
by
some
travel
agencies
and
hotels.
G.Today,Chinese
can
be
easily
used
among
these
nationalities.
