Affordable Beach Vacation in Corfu
Corfu, an island off the coast of Greece, offers visitors sun-kissed shores(海滨) with clear water and lots of beaches.
Finding the Perfect Beach
Our first pick is Sidari Beach. It's a blue flag beach perfect for couples looking for a more private feel, as it's far from bigger tourist destinations. Issos Beach makes the perfect place for watching the sunset. Dassia Bay has a bit more water sports. Paleokastritsa is an amazing west coast village with six beaches on offer, including Rovinia Beach.
Getting around Corfu
Corfu offers bike rental and bus service as a cheaper alternative (可供选择的事物) to taxis. The best time to visit Corfu is during the “shoulder season” in April/May. The weather isn't as warm as the high seasons but it remains perfect. It is not crowded in this period, but you still need to book ahead of schedule as Corfu stays popular throughout the year.
Eating Out for Less
There are a lot of well-priced restaurants but street food is also a big winner. Some popular choices are Souvlaki and Pita Gyros. There are also many cheeses unique to Greece, including Tirokafteri and Ladotyri. Corfu also has many unbelievable desserts (甜食). Stazei Meli is where tourists like to give them a try.

A.Sidari Beach.
B.Dassia Bay.
C.Issos Beach.
D.Rovinia Beach.
2.What are tourists requested to do to visit Corfu

If you are planning on travelling, there are a few simple rules about how to make life easier both before and after your journey.
First of all, always check and double-check departure (出发) time. It is surprising how few people really do this carefully. Once I arrived at the airport a few minutes after ten. My secretary had got the ticket for me and I thought she had said that the plane left at 10:50.When I arrived at the airport, the person at the departure desk told me that my flight was closed. Therefore, I had to wait three hours for the next one and missed an important meeting.
The second rule is to remember that even in this age of credit cards, it is still important to have some local money in cash (现金). Once I arrived at a place at midnight and the bank at the airport was closed. The only way to get to my hotel was by taxi but because I had no dollars, I offered to pay in pounds instead. “Listen! I only take real money!” the driver said angrily. You can imagine how terrible I felt at that moment.
The third and the last rule is to find out as much as you can about the weather at your destination before you leave. I feel sorry for some of my workmates who travelled in heavy suits and raincoats in May, when it is still fairly cool in London or Manchester, to places like Athens, Rome or Madrid, where it is already beginning to get quite warm during the day.
4.Where is the writer most probably from
A.Britain. B.The USA.
C.Italy. D.Greece.
5.When the writer found he had no dollars to pay the taxi driver, he .
A.asked the driver to give him a free ride
B.offered to pay in pounds
C.gave the driver some fake(假的) money
D.tried to pay by credit card
6.Generally, in May the weather in London is .
A.warm and dry
B.cold and dry
C.hot and wet
D.cool and rainy
7.The writer mainly tells us .
A.how to make life easier
B.how to be well prepared for a trip
C.how to enjoy ourselves on a trip
D.how to schedule our trip

Ya Ting had taken me under her wing after hearing me speaking Chinese in a hotel in Lijiang. She had been hitchhiking(免费搭便车) around China for months. She invited me to travel with her, which was how we ended up on the side of the road looking for a ride to Tiger Leaping Gorge.Within 20 minutes, we had our first ride. The driver couldn't take us all the way and ended up dropping us at a freeway crossroads. As a new hitchhiker, I thought that would be the end of our luck, but almost immediately we got another ride.
Our most unforgettable ride was when a twenty-something kid picked us up. He couldn't take us the whole way so his uncle bought us lunch and bus tickets for the rest of the journey. He felt it was his duty to help us find a way to complete our trip. It brought tears of joy and thankfulness to my eyes. This was the first time I had understood how guests were respected in China.
A few weeks later, we said goodbye. I thought we had been so lucky because we had been a local(本地人) and a foreigner travelling together. But now Ya Ting was no longer around to do the talking, nor did I have someone to depend on if something went wrong. When I stood by a highway in Sichuan, I knew all about the difficulties before me. Now I was just a strange foreigner on my own who suddenly had to manage to talk in Chinese.
After about 30 minutes,a couple picked me up and took me the whole eight hours to Chengdu. We ate lunch on the way, and they refused to allow me to pay for any of it, which I had come to learn was unique to Chinese culture. This made me believe the hospitality(好客)in Chinese culture that we don't often see in the West.
8.What do the author and Ya Ting have in common
A.They both live in Lijiang.
B.They both are hitchhikers.
C.They both are foreigners.
D.They both speak Chinese well.
9.What can we learn about the author's trip to Tiger Leaping Gorge
A.It was rather tiring.
B.It was full of danger.
C.It was very smooth.
D.It was heartbreaking.
10.What did the couple do when taking the author to Chengdu
A.They dropped her halfway.
B.They lent her some money.
C.They taught her about Chinese culture.
D.They offered her a free lunch.
11.According to the passage, at least how many times did the author hitchhike from Lijiang to Chengdu
A.2.
B.3.
C.4.
D.Not mentioned.

When you're sitting in class or behind your desk waiting for the clock to strike a time when you can go home, it is natural that the mind can wander (漫游) a bit. It is common for your mind to wander to a holiday destination and even travel the world. What if there is a way that you can travel the world without having to pay any money
A person that managed to make it around the world without spending much was Shantanu Starick. How did he trade off his service Starick realized that as a photographer he had a service that people would usually be willing to pay money for, but he would instead offer his photography service to anyone who could provide him with food, shelter and transportation. Starick has been traveling for a surprising 30 months and has visited countries ranging from the United States to Ecuador.
In English-speaking countries, trading off service and communicating aren't difficult for Starick. However, in more far areas where there isn't an English-speaking person in sight it can be quite difficult. More than anything locals appreciate (欣赏) the effort behind trying to speak their language, even if you don't exactly sound like a native speaker.
You can do it too!
Honestly, with a bit of confidence, drive and a skill you can trade, you'll be able to do exactly the same as Starick.
Start thinking about what you can do to get around the world without paying money. With our social networks and the connectivity our world has, you can easily connect with and market yourself to people across the world without any effort.
12.What is the author's purpose in writing the first paragraph
A.To introduce the topic.
B.To describe students in class.
C.To give an example for the text.
D.To show people's state of mind.
13.What does the underlined part “trade off” in Paragraph 2 refer to
A.Join. B.Exchange.
C.Stop. D.Improve.
14.In locals' opinion, which of the following is the key for the traveler
A.The skill to trade off.
B.The confidence to succeed.
C.The determination to travel.
D.The effort to speak the local language.
15.What do we know about Shantanu Starick
A.He is a professional traveler.
B.He is too poor to afford the travels.
C.He has a skill to travel without paying much money.
D.He doesn't say other languages except English.

How to Make Sure You Enjoy Your Trip
A trip is a planned journey that one arranges in advance and whose main purpose is to search for adventure and to create a memorable moment. Here are the steps on how to make sure your trip is enjoyable.
Plan it well. Trips should be ideally planned to go well. 16 A checklist is helpful, making sure you've got all your needs.
Pack necessities. Bring what you need. Trips are short journeys and belong to the sub-level of traveling. Pack only the things you need. 17
Be safe. To be cautious is smart. No matter what you are up to, surfing, cliff diving, snowboarding or scuba diving, it is always recommended to be safe. 18 Don't be stubborn and put yourself in harm's way when there are precautions.
19 You may see delays(延误), different cultures, lifestyles, foods, and even a shortage of cash sometimes—these are all what travel is about—experiencing things with a new perspective(视角). Once you expect to experience new things, you'll be a happy traveler and free from stress.
Save the memory. 20 This is not one of those regular days so you ought to save the moment. It will make your trip more enjoyable after all that craziness;you get something to review the good times.
A.Travel with an open mind.
B.Get prepared for everything new.
C.This is all we expect from a trip.
D.Seize the moment by taking pictures.
E.It is important to wear protective equipment when necessary.
F.It is easy to get tired if you have too many things in your package.
G.Take your time, a day or a week ahead to make a plan for your trip.

第二节
阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Jackson, now a successful architect in New York City, comes back to his father's small wooden house that is on an island in the middle of a lake in New Hampshire. Jackson is fond of fishing. He often takes his son and daughters to fish in the same place, where he used to fish when he was a child. His children have a lot of fun fishing, which reminds(提醒) him of the day 34 years ago.
34 years ago, Jackson was 11 years old and lived with his family on this island. On the day before the bass season started, Jackson and his father were fishing early in the evening, catching sunfish. When his fishing rod(鱼竿) doubled over, he knew something huge was on the other end.
He very carefully lifted the fish from the water. It was the largest one he had ever seen, but it was a bass.
The boy and his father looked at the handsome fish, its gills(鳃) playing back and forth in the moonlight. The father lit a match and looked at his watch. It was 10 pm—two hours before the season started. He looked at the huge fish, and then at the boy.
“You'll have to put the fish back, son,” he said.
“Dad!” cried the boy.
“There will be other fish,” said his father.
“Not as big as this one,” the boy cried and shouted.
He looked around the lake. No other fishermen or boats were anywhere around in the moonlight. He looked again at his father. Even though no one had seen them, nor could anyone ever know what time he caught the fish, the boy could tell from his father's voice clearly that the decision couldn't be changed.
The father patted him slightly on his shoulder and sincerely taught him, “My boy, rules are a simple matter of right and wrong. It is the practice of rules that is difficult, but it's your choice.”
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
Paragraph 1:
Jackson found himself in a difficult situation.
Paragraph 2:
Do we do right when no one is looking

One possible version:
Dear Mark,
How is everything going I will tell you something about the trip to Beijing I went on with my parents. We visited the Palace Museum, the Great Wall, the Bird's Nest, the Water Cube, and so on.
What attracted me most were the Palace Museum and the Great Wall. The Palace Museum is also called the Forbidden City with many treasures in it. As a famous wonder of the world, the Great Wall is made of millions of bricks, each of which is very big and heavy.
I do hope you can come to China and see some of them one day.
Yours,

第二节
One possible version:
Paragraph 1:
Jackson found himself in a difficult situation. He really wanted to keep this largest bass in his heart of hearts. However, his father was so determined that he had no choice but to give it up. Tears welling up in his eyes, he tried to hold them back but it was useless. He took a final look at the fish as if he were saying goodbye to the fish, and then he slowly put the huge bass back to the lake.
Paragraph 2:
Do we do right when no one is looking I think that if I had been taught to put the fish back when I was young, I would have learned the truth. The decision to do right keeps fresh and pleasant in my memory. It's nothing about others but only about ourselves, as well as our honesty. So, even if no one is looking at us, we shouldn't break the rules and do wrong. If everyone in the world behaves just like this, the future of the world will be better and better.
