It is easy to take public transportation from Cairo but families should consider booking a personal guide or group trip from a tour operator such as Go Travel Egypt or Viator.

A number of tour operators can be found in Beijing, with recommendations including Viator, Great Wall Hiking and Discover Beijing Tours. Admission (门票费) to Badaling is just 45 Chinese Yuan(about $7.50)but a guided tour from Beijing starts at around $75.

Rediscovered in 1812, Petra was the fourth century BCE capital of the Nabataean empire. Known for its intricate (错综复杂的) carvings into a sandstone mountain, Petra was a business center, located between the Dead Sea and the Red Sea. Tours to the Lost City can be arranged in Israel or from Anman, the capital and largest city of Jordan 150 miles to the north.

The Bedford School has held activities to celebrate the Chinese New Year before the winter vacation—this time with a unique change compared to other years. The celebration is a blend (融合) of traditional food, calligraphy, and a performance using Chinese instruments.
The school’s Chinese Society introduced an art form that attracted the students: Chinese calligraphy. The students were surprised at the combination (结合) of visual art and the interpretation (解读) of literary meaning as they wrote Chinese characters with grace. And they tried their best to make what they wrote correct and beautiful. The students also enjoyed delightful Chinese New Year foods, including spring rolls, rice cake, dumplings. They ate fish-shaped sweets with great enjoyment, symbolizing abundance (富足) for the coming year as the Chinese character for “fish” can also mean “surplus”. The idea behind this is that if we manage to have something left over at the year’s end, then more can be made in the new year. Keeping with tradition, the students exchanged red envelopes filled with sweets, symbolizing good luck and prosperity (繁荣). In Chinese culture, the color red symbolizes good luck and good fortune for the year ahead. This is why red decorations are used during many important cultural festivals and significant events.
Due to(由于)China’s rocketing economy and reputation (声誉), Chinese New Year has become a worldwide event. The Bedford School provided a great opportunity for the students to gain (获得) a deeper understanding of Chinese tradition and culture.
4. What can we know about the celebration of this year
A. It celebrated the winter vacation. B. It focused more on Chinese traditional cultures.
C. It was aimed at raising school’s reputation. D. It was celebrated the same way as before.
5. What did the students care much about while writing Chinese characters
A. The writing time. B. Teachers’ attitude.
C. The beauty of the characters. D. The school’s Chinese Society.
6. Why did the students eat fish-shaped sweets
A. To get pocket money. B. To enjoy delicious fish.
C. To keep with tradition. D. To expect a rich new year.
7. What made Chinese New Year popular globally

I’m Zhang Jiabo, 17, from the High School Affiliated to Renmin University of China. For me, September of 2022 was colorful and unforgettable. So many amazing events happened in my life during that month.
First, I organized a badminton competition at the beginning of the month, which left some very precious (珍贵的) memories. Moreover, I joined a World Wildlife Fund translation project and the main activity for this project is to translate English articles about environmental protection into Chinese. It sounds difficult, but thanks to the many helpful members of our group, everything has gone smoothly so far.
The badminton competition was so meaningful for me—I learned a lot from organizing it. I strengthened my management skills and discovered a new organizational method by the end of the game. For example, I learned for the first time how to keep track of our money correctly. After the badminton competition, I realized that we only needed two courts (球场) when the match got to the final round. Next time, I will use the money more wisely during the process of preparation.
Moreover, through the translation project I learned how to negotiate (协商) with others. Since there are so many people in the translation project, we needed to manage our work according to each person’s condition at that time. Although the process was difficult, it was an excellent chance to enhance my ability to negotiate. It also helped to strengthen my time management skills.
Even though there were problems and obstacles (阻碍) along the way, I’m still very happy that I challenged myself with these events and made friends because of them. I will keep on moving forward and devote (投入) my efforts to such projects in the future, and hopefully become an even better organizer and team player in the end.

Believe it or not, sheep are playing an important role in protecting the ruins of Pompeii, an ancient Roman city that was buried under volcanic ash about 2,000 years ago.
Archaeologists have been digging the ruins for over 250 years, but only two-thirds of the 66-hectare area have been explored, reported CNN. To prevent the unexcavated (未发掘的) parts of the ruins from being naturally damaged over time, archaeologists have turned to a group of 150 sheep for help.
Many grassy hills there are dotted (布满) with the remains of old houses and shops. Grass and other plants can cause problems if they are left to grow on ancient walls and houses. Therefore, the task of these sheep is to eat up the grass, preventing any overgrowth that may harm the ruins. Besides, turning to sheep instead of herbicides (除草剂) costs less and is more environment-friendly.
This sheepy solution is part of the Pompeii Archaeological Park’s protection efforts. Since 2018, new excavations have been launched (启动) in Regio V area, the northern part of the city. It has resulted in exciting discoveries such as frescoes (壁画), a snack shop, and the skeletal remains (遗骸) of people who died in the disaster.
Gabriel Zuchtriegel, director of the Pompeii Archaeological Park, told Go Top News that the sheep initiative (倡议) is a sustainable (可持续的) project that saves money and protects the landscape. Besides, the sheep have become part of the landscape itself, bringing the ancient city back to life. “It’s also something that really gives an idea of what Pompeii was like when it was rediscovered,” said Zuchtriegel. “It was forests, vineyards, sheep and that kind of rural setting, and in the middle of it was Pompeii.”
12. Why do the archaeologists use sheep
A. To excavate Pompeii quickly. B. To reduce overgrowth of grass.
C. To save herbicides. D. To promote economy of this area.
13. What can we infer from paragraph 4
A. The sheep solution has caused some trouble. B. It has cost a lot of money to excavate the ruins.
C. The discoveries have puzzled archaeologists. D. Much work has been done to protect Pompeii.
14. How did Zuchtriegel find the initiative
A. Helpful. B. Worrying. C. Annoying. D. Doubtful.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. New Discovery in Ruins B. Sheep Rescuing Pompeii
C. Archaeologists’ Achievements(成就) D. People Worrying about Pompeii

The Bedford School has held activities to celebrate the Chinese New Year before the winter vacation—this time with a unique change compared to other years. The celebration is a blend (融合) of traditional food, calligraphy, and a performance using Chinese instruments.
The school’s Chinese Society introduced an art form that attracted the students: Chinese calligraphy. The students were surprised at the combination (结合) of visual art and the interpretation (解读) of literary meaning as they wrote Chinese characters with grace. And they tried their best to make what they wrote correct and beautiful. The students also enjoyed delightful Chinese New Year foods, including spring rolls, rice cake, dumplings. They ate fish-shaped sweets with great enjoyment, symbolizing abundance (富足) for the coming year as the Chinese character for “fish” can also mean “surplus”. The idea behind this is that if we manage to have something left over at the year’s end, then more can be made in the new year. Keeping with tradition, the students exchanged red envelopes filled with sweets, symbolizing good luck and prosperity (繁荣). In Chinese culture, the color red symbolizes good luck and good fortune for the year ahead. This is why red decorations are used during many important cultural festivals and significant events.
Due to(由于)China’s rocketing economy and reputation (声誉), Chinese New Year has become a worldwide event. The Bedford School provided a great opportunity for the students to gain (获得) a deeper understanding of Chinese tradition and culture.

I’m Zhang Jiabo, 17, from the High School Affiliated to Renmin University of China. For me, September of 2022 was colorful and unforgettable. So many amazing events happened in my life during that month.
First, I organized a badminton competition at the beginning of the month, which left some very precious (珍贵的) memories. Moreover, I joined a World Wildlife Fund translation project and the main activity for this project is to translate English articles about environmental protection into Chinese. It sounds difficult, but thanks to the many helpful members of our group, everything has gone smoothly so far.
The badminton competition was so meaningful for me—I learned a lot from organizing it. I strengthened my management skills and discovered a new organizational method by the end of the game. For example, I learned for the first time how to keep track of our money correctly. After the badminton competition, I realized that we only needed two courts (球场) when the match got to the final round. Next time, I will use the money more wisely during the process of preparation.
Moreover, through the translation project I learned how to negotiate (协商) with others. Since there are so many people in the translation project, we needed to manage our work according to each person’s condition at that time. Although the process was difficult, it was an excellent chance to enhance my ability to negotiate. It also helped to strengthen my time management skills.
Even though there were problems and obstacles (阻碍) along the way, I’m still very happy that I challenged myself with these events and made friends because of them. I will keep on moving forward and devote (投入) my efforts to such projects in the future, and hopefully become an even better organizer and team player in the end.

Believe it or not, sheep are playing an important role in protecting the ruins of Pompeii, an ancient Roman city that was buried under volcanic ash about 2,000 years ago.
Archaeologists have been digging the ruins for over 250 years, but only two-thirds of the 66-hectare area have been explored, reported CNN. To prevent the unexcavated (未发掘的) parts of the ruins from being naturally damaged over time, archaeologists have turned to a group of 150 sheep for help.
Many grassy hills there are dotted (布满) with the remains of old houses and shops. Grass and other plants can cause problems if they are left to grow on ancient walls and houses. Therefore, the task of these sheep is to eat up the grass, preventing any overgrowth that may harm the ruins. Besides, turning to sheep instead of herbicides (除草剂) costs less and is more environment-friendly.
This sheepy solution is part of the Pompeii Archaeological Park’s protection efforts. Since 2018, new excavations have been launched (启动) in Regio V area, the northern part of the city. It has resulted in exciting discoveries such as frescoes (壁画), a snack shop, and the skeletal remains (遗骸) of people who died in the disaster.
Gabriel Zuchtriegel, director of the Pompeii Archaeological Park, told Go Top News that the sheep initiative (倡议) is a sustainable (可持续的) project that saves money and protects the landscape. Besides, the sheep have become part of the landscape itself, bringing the ancient city back to life. “It’s also something that really gives an idea of what Pompeii was like when it was rediscovered,” said Zuchtriegel. “It was forests, vineyards, sheep and that kind of rural setting, and in the middle of it was Pompeii.”
12. Why do the archaeologists use sheep
A. To excavate Pompeii quickly. B. To reduce overgrowth of grass.
C. To save herbicides. D. To promote economy of this area.
13. What can we infer from paragraph 4
A. The sheep solution has caused some trouble. B. It has cost a lot of money to excavate the ruins.
C. The discoveries have puzzled archaeologists. D. Much work has been done to protect Pompeii.
14. How did Zuchtriegel find the initiative
A. Helpful. B. Worrying. C. Annoying. D. Doubtful.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. New Discovery in Ruins B. Sheep Rescuing Pompeii
C. Archaeologists’ Achievements(成就) D. People Worrying about Pompeii
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. A 15. B

Besides, turning to sheep instead of herbicides (除草剂) costs less and is more environment-friendly.(许多长满草的小山点缀着老房子和商店的遗迹。草和其他植物如果长在古老的墙壁和房屋上，就会造成问题。因此，这些羊的任务是吃完草，防止任何可能损害废墟的杂草。此外，用绵羊代替除草剂成本更低，更环保。)”可知，由于庞贝遗址长了很多草和其他植物，这些植物会给遗址造成危害，因此考古学家决定用羊来减少该地区草的生长。故选B。

主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Believe it or not, sheep are playing an important role in protecting the ruins of Pompeii, an ancient Roman city that was buried under volcanic ash about 2,000 years ago.(信不信由你，绵羊在保护大约2000年前被火山灰掩埋的古罗马城市庞贝遗址方面发挥了重要作用。)”以及全文内容可知，文章主要讲述了在庞贝遗址保护工作中，羊群被用来帮助保护遗址不受自然损害的故事。故选B。

Over the past 30 years, lightning has killed an average of 67 people per year in the United States alone.(闪电是一种美丽而鼓舞人心的现象，但它可能是致命的。在过去的30年里，仅在美国，每年平均有67人死于闪电)”可知，闪电非常危险。选项G“Fortunately, most lightning-related deaths are preventable(幸运的是，大多数与雷击有关的死亡是可以预防的)”承上启下，自然引出下文“Follow these steps to safety the next time there’s fire in the sky.(下次有闪电的时候，按照这些步骤去保证安全)”。故选G。
【17题详解】
根据上文内容“If you find yourself caught in a lightning storm, never stand under a tree, and avoid being close to power lines as they’re both excellent conductors (导体) of electricity and could potentially cause death, if not serious injury. (如果你发现自己置于雷雨中，千万不要站在树下，避免靠近电线，因为它们都是优秀的导电体，如果不是严重伤害，也有可能导致死亡)”可知，在雷雨天，我们要避免靠近电线，远离树木。选项E“Find shelter near or under a stony shelter(在石头掩蔽处附近或下面寻找掩蔽处)”是上文内容的自然延续，指出在雷雨天，我们不能站在树下，要避免靠近电线，同时寻找适当的掩蔽处。故选E。
【18题详解】
根据空后内容“Using a landline phone is the main cause of lightning-related injuries. Lightning can travel into the home from through any material that conducts electricity. This includes landlines, electrical wiring, and plumbing.(使用固定电话是雷击相关伤害的主要原因。闪电可以穿过任何导电材料进入家中。这包括固定电话、电线和管道)”可知，闪电可以穿过任何导电材料进入家中。选项D“Don’t touch anything metal or electrical (不要碰任何金属或电)”与下文内容一致，指的是在雷雨天即便在室内，也不要碰任何金属或电，这些都可能使你遭遇闪电袭击。故选D。

If you are fishing, swimming or on a boat, get out of the water immediately and hurry back to the bank.(在雷暴期间，靠近水是非常危险的，所以远离水体。如果你正在钓鱼、游泳或在船上，请立即离开水，并迅速回到岸上)”可知，本段讲述的是在雷雨天我们要远离水体。选项A“Get away from the water (远离水)”正是本段主要内容。故选A。
【20题详解】
根据上文“Stay inside at least 30 minutes after the last strike. Don’t go out just because the rain is starting to let up. There is still a significant risk of lightning strikes from a departing storm.(在最后一次袭击后至少待在室内30分钟。不要因为雨开始小了就出去。离开的风暴仍有很大的雷击风险)”可知，不要雨小了就出去，此时仍然有危险。选项F“Wait for news that the danger has passed (等待危险过去的消息)”是上文内容的延续，指的是不要着急出去，要待在室内等着危险已经过去的消息。故选F。
