Between Thailand and Vietnam-tourists tend to ignore that there is an entire country to be discovered beyond the decaying temples. If you’ve never been to Cambodia before, it can be overwhelming to take it all in at once. We’ve put together a guide for you to make things easier.
Arrival at Cambodia
Most visitors arrive in Cambodia via Siem Reap International Airport, which is three miles from Angkor Wat and roughly five miles from the city of Siem Reap. You can take minibuses, buses, or domestic flights from Siem Reap to other country regions, such as Phnom Penh, Battambang, Kampot, and Sihanoukville.
To travel to Cambodia, tourists require a visa. Check the Cambodian Ministry of Tourism website for the latest information on policies before making travel arrangements.
Things to do in Cambodia
If you’re thinking about a holiday to Cambodia, we have two recommendations for you:
Siem Reap
Siem Reap, a tiny village about five kilometres south of Angkor Wat, has grown into the fastest-growing settlement in Cambodia. When it comes to tourist attractions, Siem Reap is all about delicious cuisine, traditional cottages, and a number of fun activities that won’t ruin your holiday.
Tonle Sap
Tonle Sap, Southeast Asia’s largest freshwater lake, grows from 1,000 square miles to 6,200 square miles during the rainy season, from June to October. Over 300 species of freshwater fish breed in the flooded forests, and the lake supplies half of Cambodia’s entire fish catch. A short drive north of Siem Reap, Tonle Sap is known for its floating villages, where entire populations depend on the lake for their survival.
Where to stay
As Cambodia’s most popular gateway city for tourists, Siem Reap has a wide variety of accommodation options, from hostels to five-star hotels. Booking in advance is especially important if you plan to travel during the peak season of December and February.
Best time to visit
Visit Cambodia in the dry season, which lasts from the end of November to the beginning of April. The Angkor temples are far more pleasant to visit during the dry season when the weather is cooler.
Which of the following item is a must for foreigners before visiting Cambodia
A．A Visa B．An Airline ticket C．A travel permit D．A travel brochure
22. What is special about Tonle Sap
A．It’s the largest freshwater lake in Asia.
B．It possesses rich fishing resources.
C．It’s the fastest-growing settlement in Cambodia.
D．It shrinks a lot during the rainy season.
23. If Jack is a food blogger particular about accommodation, you’re likely to recommend ______ .
A．Tonle Sap B．Angkor Wat C．Phnom Penh D．Siem Reap
B
Amanda Gorman, a 22-year-old poet, recited her poem The Hill We Climb at the recent Presidential Inauguration (就职) Ceremony. Her words and performance were wonderful and were admired across the world. But what is even more wonderful is the story of how Amanda arrived at this moment and the lessons she offers other kids around the world.
Amanda was raised by a single mother, Joan Wicks, in Los Angeles. There was very limited television watching in their house. Encouraged by her mother, who was a teacher, Amanda fell in love with reading and writing. She gained confidence in these areas. Her passion for poetry started when she was about 8 years old.
But despite her interests and talents, she had some obstacles. Amanda has a listening processing disorder and is very sensitive to sound. She also had a speech disorder during childhood. This caused her to participate in speech treatment which helped her to turn her obstacles into gifts and strengths. As she told The Harvard Gazette in 2018, “I always saw it as a strength because since I was experiencing these obstacles in terms of my listening and speech skills, I became really good at reading and writing.”
Amanda started to dream of becoming president when she was in 6th grade. As Amanda became more confident, she became more driven to transform the world for good. She went on to earn a degree at Harvard University. And then, Amanda became the world’s first Youth Poet Laureate (获奖者) in history!
While Amanda looked calm, cool, and collected at the inauguration, she admits she is always nervous, like many of us, about public speaking. To ease this, she developed a spell that she recites to give herself confidence in moments of doubt, “I am the daughter of black writers. We are descendants (子孙) of freedom fighters who broke through chains and changed the world.”
24. What do we know about Amanda Gorman
A. She took to reading and writing thanks to her teacher.
B. She published her first poem at the age of 8.
C. She read a poem at a presidential inauguration.
D. She became the first Youth Poet Laureate at high school.
25. What does the underlined word “obstacles” mean in paragraph 3
A. Disabilities. B. Changes. C. Strengths. D. Worries.
26. How did Amanda overcome her nervousness about public speech
A. By reciting a special sentence to herself.
B. By practicing the speech context repeatedly.
C. By seeking support from some black writers.
D. By talking to freedom fighters before the speech.
27. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text
A. To share a funny story. B. To educate disabled kids.
C. To record a wonderful moment. D. To encourage more children.
C
The time to form a new habit depends on the person, the habit itself, the environment, and the motivation. Generally speaking, 60 days is good enough for getting a new habit formed, but some habits could take twice as long. Some habits will never be formed no matter how much time passes. Even a habit that takes months or years to form can still be broken eventually.
Becoming an early riser was really challenging. I struggled with this habit for years to manage to form it. I do break this habit now and then, usually by choice to experience something different for a while. In the past 90 days, I have stayed in bed past 5 am perhaps only two or three times. It takes me less than a week to be back with it. Remembering the benefits surely helps.
In my 20s I was too impatient with many habits. If I couldn’t get something working in a few weeks, I’d often drop it and try something else. Now that I’m in my late 40s, I have learned to think in a more practical way. I know that even if it takes many months or years to form a new habit, I am sure the habit could bring advantages for many years. It doesn’t take me too long to think of carrying out the new habit, I just get it started. When you think about a habit that you have stuck to for many years, who cares if it took a few weeks or six months to form it
Don’t worry so much about how long it takes to form a habit. Instead, consider which habits could improve the quality of your life so that they are worthy of six months to get them formed. When a habit forms at last, it feels uncomfortable not to do it, and your day doesn’t feel complete without it.
28. What can we infer from the first paragraph
A. We have to keep the habits once formed. B. Most habits can be formed quickly.
C. We need sixty days to form a new habit. D. The time to form habits varies greatly.
29. Why does the writer break the habit of getting up early sometimes
A. He likes sleeping in bed for a while. B. He wants to try something different.
C. He prepares breakfast for the family. D. He is afraid to wake up his family.
30. What does the writer think more about the habit when he is in his forties
A. The development of the habit. B. The expense of the habit.
C. The benefits of the habit. D. The limitation of the habit.
31. In which part of a magazine is this text most probably taken from
A. Education. B. Technology. C. Tourism. D. Literature.
D
If you have a chance to talk with a historical figure, who would you like it to be What would you like to know about the past or share from today China in the Classics, a new TV show based on Chinese classics started by China Central Television (CCTV) in February, is exploring such possibilities.
In the first episode (集), the host of the show, Sa Beining, meets ancient Confucian scholar Fu Sheng, who interprets Shangshu, The Book of Documents.

They include the 3,300-year-old Yinxu Ruins in Henan Province and the 1,300-year-old Potala Palace in Lhasa, Tibet Autonomous Region.
CCTV should make a variety of programs showcasing classics and cultural traditions to appeal to the young generation’s aesthetics (审美学), said Zhou, a professor at the School of Arts and Communication, Beijing Normal University.

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Some people cry during movies, while others only tear up for very sad or happy moments. Sometimes, we even cry randomly. 36 Each has its own job and flows from your tear ducts (泪腺) for a different reason.
37 But if you tear up frequently for no reason, it might be a sign of a serious condition. If you notice that you’re crying every day during normal activities, you may have depression. If you think you have depression, talk to your doctor right away to find the right treatment for you.
If someone begins to cry in front of you, your reaction may come from the discomfort you feel in this situation. Though you may not mean to, your response could cause the person who is crying to feel weak, embarrassed, or less understood. Instead of rushing to cheer a crier up or offer immediate help, sometimes it’s best to give a person space to cry. 38
If you’re around someone who is crying, respect their tears. Let them release (释放) their feelings and show them you care. Don’t rush to offer advice or to say anything at all. Give them space to process and release their tears. 39 Let them think and organize their thoughts. Accept the way they respond in the moment. Don’t push them to feel a different way.
It’s best not to hold in emotions all the time. 40 If you need to control a cry, try to hold back your tears just until you’re in a better place for them. This way you won’t suppress (压抑) your emotions altogether.
A. Don’t talk too much.
B. We cry different types of tears.
C. Then how can we deal with crying
D. Crying can be normal in certain situations.
E. Sometimes tears are needed to process emotion.
F. We should pay attention to your emotional problems.
G. However, sometimes it’s important to hold back tears.

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。
What separates me from everyone else The difference is not what clothes I wear or the music I listen to, but what I feel inside.
Ever since I was young, I have loved professional wrestling(摔跤). I woke up every Saturday to watch my favorite “super stars.” As I grew older, I got a lot of criticism for watching this “fake” sport. My peers would laugh at me for following what was called a “man’s soap opera.” So, I put my love for wrestling on the shelf. Like everyone else, I wanted to be associated with the cool group. I desired to be invited to the parties of the in-crowd（圈内人）and hang out with the popular kids. I became pretty successful. Although my Friday evenings were busy with parties, I would still wake up early Saturdays to watch wrestling. It wasn’t until my freshman year that I realized I wasn’t being myself.
That year, I tried many new things and activities and made new friends. In my town, football was the sport, so I decided to play football, thinking it might give me a head start in popularity. The team started with 48 athletes. In the end, there were 14 of us left. I stuck it out not because I liked it, but because I am not a quitter. That long season taught me a lesson: I wasn’t a football player. More importantly, it taught me to be myself.
After that season, I went back to being a wrestling fan. I watched it regularly, no matter what insults(侮辱) were thrown my way. I came across a quote: “Don’t Dream It. Be It.” When I read this, my friend Dan had the same idea I had.
“What if we build a wrestling ring（拳击场） ” we asked. We acquired the necessary wood and equipment for its construction. The following weekend, we met at his house. We saw our dream in a pile in his backyard. We worked from dawn to dusk to build our greet establishment. By Sunday night, our mission(使命) was complete. Our hard work combined with a little creativity had paid off. We had a real ring.

第一节 书面表达（满分15分）
Dear David,
What an unforgettable ride it was! Now I’m writing to express my sincere gratitude for inviting me and propose a plan for next week.
To be frank, what’s really remarkable was people’s active involvement in bicycle riding, from the young pedaling with playmates to well-equipped cyclists racing on paved lanes. Besides, it was your encouraging words that inspired me to hold on to the last, without which I would have surrendered halfway up the slopes. As to our next trip, how about camping at the nearby lake next Saturday if weather permits
Looking forward to your earliest reply.
Yours,
Li Hua

One possible version:
We decided to hold an “event.” We practiced for hours, trying to improve every aspect of our wrestling ability. The date was May 24th. Our show had a start time of 9:00 p.m. To our surprise, about one hundred people including family members, friends and fans showed up to support us. It was the most important night of my life and a complete success. Since that time, we have held five shows with as many as two hundred and fifty people turning out. We continued to live this dream. We accomplished what we set out to do.
We are now well-known throughout school. When I walk down the halls, I am respected by my peers. Some are the same peers who ridiculed me for watching wrestling when I was younger. When they approach me, they often say, “Good match” I humbly say, “Thank you,” knowing I did something I believed in. As my senior year winds down, I'll remember all of my university memories. But what will stick out most is the memory that I did something I loved, despite what everyone said or thought. I accomplished my goal. I lived my dream.
