Amsterdam is most famous for its artistic heritage.This tradition is proudly on display in the Rijksmuseum(translates as State Museum).Once you’ve taken in all that has to offer,artists,history fans,and families shouldn’t pass up the chance to visit the Van Gogh Museum—containing around 700 paintings and drawings by Vincent and his contemporaries,including Gauguin,Monet,and Toulouse-Lautrec.
Amsterdam is also home to the Anne Frank Museum,where Anne hid with her family during the Nazi occupation of The Netherlands.On a lighter note,taking a canal cruise through its extensive waterways is a rewarding way to see the Dutch capital.
Art lovers get their kicks at:
The Van Gogh Museum
Rijksmuseum
Museum Het Rembrandthuis
Food and drink
Cheese lovers love Amsterdam.You can find an excuse to eat cheese at any time of the day here.Gouda is Holland’s favourite,developing a more intense flavour the longer it’s aged.Find a selection at the markets,try a cheeseboard at dinner time,or just order cubes with mustard for dipping to accompany a drink.
When you’re hungry for non-cheese food groups,you’ll find Michelin-starred restaurants,vegetarian,and organic restaurants that accompany an array of global cuisine.For old-fashioned and modern Dutch food,try these Amsterdam restaurants:Moeders,Haesje Claes,Loetje,Greetje,and De Silveren Spiegel.
Don’t leave without tasting:
Patat(hot chips with toppings)
Stroopwafel(waffle cookie)

The world’s first luxury space hotel,Aurora Station,was announced Thursday at the Space 2.0 Summit in San Jose,California.Developed by US-based space technology start-up Orion Span,the space station will host six people at a time,including two crew members,for 12-day trips of space travel.It plans to welcome its first guests in 2022.
“Our goal is to make space accessible to all,”Frank Bunger,CEO and founder of Orion Span,said in a statement.“Upon launch,Aurora Station goes into service immediately,bringing travellers into space quickly and at a lower price point than ever seen before.”
While a $10 million trip is outside the budget of most people’s two-week vacations,Orion Span promises to offer a real astronaut experience.“It has taken what was historically a 24-month training to prepare travellers to visit a space station and downsized it to three months,at a fraction(小部分)of the cost,” says Bunger.During their 12-day adventure,the super-rich travellers will fly at a height of 200 miles above the Earth’s surface in Low Earth Orbit(轨道),where they will witness incredible views of the blue planet.The hotel will orbit Earth every 90 minutes,which means guests will see around 16 sunrises and sunsets every 24 hours.
Activities on board include taking part in research experiments such as growing food while in orbit,which guests can take home for a super-smug souvenir,and soaring over their hometown.Guests can have live video chats with their less-fortunate loved ones back home via high-speed wireless Internet access and,upon returning to Earth will be greeted with a specially arranged hero’s welcome.While enjoying the thrills of zero gravity,the travellers will be able to float freely through the hotel,taking in views of the northern and southern aurora from the station’s windows.
Deposits(订金) are already being accepted for future stays on the space hotel.
32.What can we know about Aurora Station
A.It was set up in San Jose,California.
B.It is created by an international company.
C.It will host eight people at a time.
D.It won’t be put into operation until 2022.
33.What is the purpose in building Aurora Station
A.To popularise the astronaut experience.
B.To make profits through this new industry.
C.To cut down the cost for space research.
D.To arouse the public’s awareness of science.
34.Who could be the most likely potential customers of Aurora Station
A.All human beings.
B.Would-be astronauts.
C.Wealthy travellers.
D.Specially trained researchers.
35.Which is NOT a special experience guests can enjoy aboard Aurora Station
A.Getting involved in scientific experiments.
B.Having live video chats with people on earth.
C.Being greeted with a specially arranged welcome.
D.Floating freely through the hotel with zero gravity.

Do you feel nervous and stressful about living in the dormitory(宿舍) Sharing a room with strangers may be challenging at the beginning,but it will turn out to be a precious experience in your life.Here are some tips on how to become best friends with your dormmates.
Agree on Some Basic Rules
36 Make a list of the things that are/aren’t allowed to both of you and stick to it.
Decide on the studying time,cleaning and visiting hours.Not only will it make your routine easier,but it can also help to avoid misunderstanding and quarrels.
Discuss the Problems at Once
You will escape many fights if you start talking about the problem once you feel it’s necessary.When you accumulate the little things,they grow bigger and you may say some unpleasant things you don’t really mean.Your dormmates simply cannot know or notice some things. 37
Respect Your Dormmates and Their Stuff
Using without asking is the cause of most conflicts and misunderstandings between dormmates. 38 If you think that wearing their cosmetics is okay,they may think in an absolutely different way.Always ask for permission when you want to borrow,use or take any item.
Get to Know Each Other Better
You won’t become best friends at once,but you can do a lot in order to develop a good relationship from the very start. 39 Everybody loves to be asked questions about their personality.Getting to know each other will make your living together less stressful and you may have pretty much in common!
40
Your dormmates may be from other countries with different traditions,religion and views.Be careful with the stereotypes(刻板印象)and prejudgment,because your ideas about the subject may be skin-deep and incorrect.Most probably your overseas dormmates will need some help during the period of adaptation to the new surrounding and lifestyle.Sharing a room with an international student is a unique chance to learn another culture and language.Don’t miss it!
A.Learning from each other.
B.Tolerance(宽容) Makes a Difference.
C.Tell them your own interests and preferences.
D.This is the essential rule of any good relationship.
E.That’s why communication is always the right thing to consider.

It was my twelfth birthday,and what I really wanted most was a new bicycle.But I knew that my family couldn’t afford one,so I settled for a bedside table with lockable drawers,a safe place to keep my private stuff.
We went to the charity shop where we found an old dark one.It didn’t look too cool,but I thought that I would paint it to make it look better.
After we took it home,I was getting ready to paint it.When I pulled the drawers out,I felt something stuck to the back.I reached in all the way,and guess what A sealed bag with some papers in it.
When I opened the bag,I realised that the papers were official documents.And,wrapped in them were a bunch of ten and twenty dollar bills!Talk about finding a treasure!And on my birthday!
“Is this some kind of joke ” I said aloud.I went ahead and read the papers,and it turned out to be a will.Some old lady was leaving her savings for her son and grandchildren.
My mind was going crazy.Was I the luckiest twelve-year-old ever With this money I could buy the coolest bicycle.Who knows
I began counting.When I reached a thousand dollars,my mother was knocking on my bedroom door.I quickly closed the drawer with the money in it.
“Do you want some help Is everything all right ” she asked.
No,everything was not right.Actually,my stomach was growling(低吼).
“I’m okay,” I lied.
When my mother left my room,I lay on my bed,starting thinking.What a dilemma(窘境)!I wished there were some one I could talk with.Could I keep it and get all kinds of stuff for me and my family It wouldn’t be too bad for me to keep it,if I shared it...right Thoughts ran through my mind.But I really didn’t need someone else to give me the answer.
I finally made a decision and called my parents into my bedroom.

Nelson Mandela once worked as lawyer and offered guidance to poor black people.Later,he set up ANC Youth League,which led black people to fight for freedom by attacking laws and so on.In 1962,he was sent into prison.Although Mandela spent 27 years in prison,he didn’t give up fighting.After he was released,he still fought for the rights of black people actively.Finally,black people achieved their dream of being equal to white people.
As a result of what Mandela did for black people,Mandela became the first black president of South Africa and won the Nobel Peace Prize.
参考范文
I finally made a decision and called my parents into my bedroom.When my parents saw what I had found in the drawer they were wide-eyed and speechless!Then,they read the papers carefully and were moved to tears.When they asked,“What should we do ” I said,“Let’s take it back to the store and find her family.” My father nodded with a smile on his face and my mother hugged me warmly,saying “You are my pride,dear.”Then we collected all the money and papers at once,putting them in the drawer.We rushed to the charity shop with the drawer in the hope to find the owner as soon as possible.
Though surprised,the shop owner helped find the family’s telephone number.Within a few minutes,the family all came over.When I showed them what I had found in the drawer,they couldn’t believe their eyes.The parents had tears in their eyes.They were still sad about the lady’s death and the father had just lost his job.It was easy to see that my act of honesty gave them hope.They showed me sincere gratitude from the bottom of their hearts.No new bicycle could have made me felt as good about myself as I felt that day because I passed a very important test—a lost and found test of my own character.

7.M:Mum,my old bicycle needs to be repaired again.
W:Well then,why don’t you just think of buying a new one
M:You know,I’d really like to buy one of those mountain bikes.But they cost too much.At least $300.
W:But what’s so special about a mountain bike Why do you have to have one of those There aren’t any mountains around here.Isn’t a common bike cheaper
M:Yes.You can also get good one for about $150.

W:What is it that always encourages you to create
M:Nature is the biggest encouragement.I’m always excited about things of beauty.
10.W:Hello,everyone.Welcome to our programme.I’m Jenny Jackson.The weather here in Juárez has become unbearable.With no rains for over a year,the city is suffering from unusually hot weather.Some light showers have been forecast since last month,but all of them have been effective in surrounding areas.Summer has not even started yet,but temperatures have reached 40 degrees centigrade in the past three days.And people have been warned not to go out of their homes—not if you walk on foot,at least—between 11 in the morning and 7 in the evening.Little kids and the elderly are the ones who have suffered the most from this extreme heat wave.They must drink water all the time.To help our audience have a better understanding of this extreme weather,we have invited Prof.Torres from University of Mexico to our studio this evening.
