Forget about “military-style travel” during which people tend to visit as many places as possible in the least amount of time. A more relaxed and leisurely alternative, such as “Citywalk”, is becoming the norm among urban youngsters.
Unlike military-style travel, Citywalk is about wandering around a city on foot, feeling the atmosphere and finding unusual things that even a resident of the city might not have noticed before. It can be a special event where people start a journey led by tour guides or simply explore the streets.
Such walks generally avoid famous scenic spots and shopping centers, and take you to places where you can have real interactions with the local people, eat at small but authentic restaurants, and gain a deeper understanding of the history and culture of the city.
Citywalkers have shared their carefully planned routes on social media platforms. Their posts usually include how long the walk is going to take, and interesting places and restaurants along the way. Some posts are more like a food tour.
Nan Xi, who recently moved from Beijing to Shanghai, said “I think Shanghai is a city perfect for Citywalk. There are big trees along the streets and shops selling different products, which is ideal for couples and friends to walk together and take photos.” After several Citywalk experiences, she signed up for a two-and-a-half-hour Citywalk priced at 88 yuan per person. A tour guide narrated the history of the buildings and streets along the way. “If it were me walking alone, I would simply find the streets artistic, but the tour that day helped me gain a better understanding of how Western culture blends in with the local culture in Shanghai,” she said. Another surprising benefit of the walk was that she has made friends with two of her fellow walkers.
Lin Yi, a manager for an online platform for self-guided tours, said Citywalk can help travelers learn about local culture and live as local people do, feeling the vibes of a city. People who participate in Citywalks usually have similar tastes, and can have in-depth discussions with each other, he said.
4. What is the main difference between military-style travel and Citywalk
A. The transport. B. The cost.
C. The purpose. D. The destination.
5. What can we conclude about Citywalk in Shanghai according to Nan Xi
A. It is a perfect place to run shops.
B. There are great things to do at weekends.
C. Ideal couples and friends often gather there.
D. It provides great experiences in many ways.
6. What can be inferred from Nan Xi’s two-and-a-half-hour Citywalk
A. She thought it well worth a try.
B. She went on the tour without company.
C. She wouldn’t have found the artistic streets by herself.
D. She knew how Western culture differed from the local culture in Shanghai.
7. What is the main idea of the article
A. Citywalk is a new trend in urban tourism.
B. Citywalk can help travelers make new friends.
C. Military-style travel is becoming more popular.
D. Travelers choose Citywalk over military style to follow suit.
C
Do you know sand has been used to draw pictures since ancient times Today, sandpainting, an interesting art, will be produced to you.
Sandpainting is an art of using the sand to make a fixed or unfixed painting. Maybe we all played fixed sandpainting as we were young. We first painted a simple picture, then we brushed glue(胶水)to the section, and at last we poured colored sand onto the glue in order to make it fixed.
Unfixed sandpaintings have a long cultural history around the world. People poured sand on a surface to make paintings or use some tools to draw pictures in the sand directly. They are often temporary(临时的). Different people draw sandpaintings to express different meanings: love of nature, admiration for God or love of beauty.
Nowadays, sandpainting becomes a performance art and its popularity has risen. On the stages, sandpainting performers make a series of images(图像)by drawing lines and figures in the sand with their fingers and hands. The series of images are used to tell a story.
Kseniya Simonova, who is from Ukraine, is one of the greatest sandpainting performers in the world. People call her “The Lady of the Sand”.
Simonova said that she never dreamed she’d become a sand artist, and when she began practicing, she nearly gave it up. But she persevered, caring for a household and her baby by day and training every night. You Are Always Nearby is one of the most famous performances of Simonoova. It is a story about a young couple separated by a war in which the solider is tragically killed, but returns in spirit to watch over his wife and child. This performance makes all audience cry.
Art is everywhere and is not far away from common people. Art of painting is in our life even in the sand.
8. Which of the following is necessary to make a fixed sandpainting
A. Glue B. A printed picture
C. Colored paper D. Water
9. What do we know about Simonva
A. She is the best painter in the world
B. Being a sand artist is her biggest dream
C. She once gave up performing for her family
D. Her performances are popular with people
10. What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about
A. How sandpainting is becoming popular
B Why sandpainting is becoming popular
C. How an image is created in the sand
D. What sandpainting tries to express
11. The underlined word “persevered” can be replaced by _______.
A. set off B. gave out
C. held on D. ended up
D
Eating out is such a pleasure ― the food, the wine, the joy of having it all brought to you by someone else ― that it’s a pity to ruin the experience by sharing it with other people.
Well, I do like visiting restaurants with friends. But dining out alone has its own very special attractions. For a start you can give all your attention to the food. There’s nothing worse than having to invent and deliver an opinion on school league tables or Sanchez’s move to Manchester United, plus listen to everyone else’s opinions, when all you really want to do is enjoy each mouthful along the way.
A second great thing about eating out alone is the chance to combine food with one of life’s other true pleasures: reading. You have to plan this carefully: Indian or Chinese restaurants are best ― you need food you can eat with just one hand, leaving the other free to hold your reading material.
But perhaps the biggest attraction of a table for one is the chance it gives to people-watching. Restaurants and the different reasons for visiting them ― first date, business meeting, night out with friends ― produce human behaviour of surprising richness and variety. Will the man selling his business idea get any joy out of his possible investor(投资者) Will the married couple think of anything to say to each other before their main courses arrive
This “human zoo” part of eating out alone is one of the reasons I’d hate to be famous: everyone would be watching you, so you wouldn’t be able to watch them. The snooker player Steve Davis says this was one of the strangest consequences(后果) of becoming well-known: he got very worried about his eating in public, almost to the level of doubting whether he was “doing it right.”
So next time you’re considering your eating out choices, remember the advice of the businessman Nubar Gulbenkian: “The best number for a dinner party is two ― myself and a super head waiter.”
12. What does the text mainly talk about
A. The reasons for eating out alone.
B. The trouble with eating in public.
C. The suggestions about dining out.
D. The fear of making dining choices.
13. What is the best part of dining out alone
A. One can fix one’s eyes on the food.
B. One can enjoy reading while eating.
C. One is likely to come across famous people.
D. One is given the chance to watch other diners.
14. What does the author intend to tell us in paragraph 5
A. Steve Davis cared too much about table manners.
B Famous people are always the center of attention.
C. Being famous may ruin the joy of eating out alone.
D. Being watched seems far better than watching others.
15. What is suggested at the end of the text
A. Dining with friends. B. Chatting over dinner.
C. Having a table for one. D. Sharing a table with a waiter.

Such walks generally avoid famous scenic spots and shopping centers, and take you to places where you can have real interactions with the local people, eat at small but authentic restaurants, and gain a deeper understanding of the history and culture of the city.
Citywalkers have shared their carefully planned routes on social media platforms. Their posts usually include how long the walk is going to take, and interesting places and restaurants along the way. Some posts are more like a food tour.
Nan Xi, who recently moved from Beijing to Shanghai, said “I think Shanghai is a city perfect for Citywalk. There are big trees along the streets and shops selling different products, which is ideal for couples and friends to walk together and take photos.” After several Citywalk experiences, she signed up for a two-and-a-half-hour Citywalk priced at 88 yuan per person. A tour guide narrated the history of the buildings and streets along the way. “If it were me walking alone, I would simply find the streets artistic, but the tour that day helped me gain a better understanding of how Western culture blends in with the local culture in Shanghai,” she said. Another surprising benefit of the walk was that she has made friends with two of her fellow walkers.
Lin Yi, a manager for an online platform for self-guided tours, said Citywalk can help travelers learn about local culture and live as local people do, feeling the vibes of a city. People who participate in Citywalks usually have similar tastes, and can have in-depth discussions with each other, he said.
4. What is the main difference between military-style travel and Citywalk
A. The transport. B. The cost.
C. The purpose. D. The destination.
5. What can we conclude about Citywalk in Shanghai according to Nan Xi
A. It is a perfect place to run shops.
B. There are great things to do at weekends.
C. Ideal couples and friends often gather there.
D. It provides great experiences in many ways.
6. What can be inferred from Nan Xi’s two-and-a-half-hour Citywalk
A. She thought it well worth a try.
B. She went on the tour without company.
C. She wouldn’t have found the artistic streets by herself.
D. She knew how Western culture differed from the local culture in Shanghai.
7. What is the main idea of the article
A. Citywalk is a new trend in urban tourism.
B. Citywalk can help travelers make new friends.
C. Military-style travel is becoming more popular.
D. Travelers choose Citywalk over military style to follow suit.

Do you know sand has been used to draw pictures since ancient times Today, sandpainting, an interesting art, will be produced to you.
Sandpainting is an art of using the sand to make a fixed or unfixed painting. Maybe we all played fixed sandpainting as we were young. We first painted a simple picture then we brushed glue(胶水)to the section, and at last we poured colored sand onto the glue in order to make it fixed.
Unfixed sandpaintings have a long cultural history around the world. People poured sand on a surface to make paintings or use some tools to draw pictures in the sand directly. They are often temporary(临时的). Different people draw sandpaintings to express different meanings: love of nature, admiration for God or love of beauty.
Nowadays, sandpainting becomes a performance art and its popularity has risen. On the stages, sandpainting performers make a series of images(图像)by drawing lines and figures in the sand with their fingers and hands. The series of images are used to tell a story.
Kseniya Simonova, who is from Ukraine, is one of the greatest sandpainting performers in the world. People call her “The Lady of the Sand”.
Simonova said that she never dreamed she’d become a sand artist, and when she began practicing, she nearly gave it up. But she persevered, caring for a household and her baby by day and training every night. You Are Always Nearby is one of the most famous performances of Simonoova. It is a story about a young couple separated by a war in which the solider is tragically killed, but returns in spirit to watch over his wife and child. This performance makes all audience cry.
Art is everywhere and is not far away from common people. Art of painting is in our life, even in the sand.
8. Which of the following is necessary to make a fixed sandpainting
A. Glue B. A printed picture
C. Colored paper D. Water
9. What do we know about Simonva

D. Her performances are popular with people
10. What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about
A. How sandpainting is becoming popular
B. Why sandpainting is becoming popular

【答案】8. A 9. D 10. A 11. C
D
Eating out is such a pleasure ― the food, the wine, the joy of having it all brought to you by someone else ― that it’s a pity to ruin the experience by sharing it with other people.
Well, I do like visiting restaurants with friends. But dining out alone has its own very special attractions. For a start you can give all your attention to the food. There’s nothing worse than having to invent and deliver an opinion on school league tables or Sanchez’s move to Manchester United, plus listen to everyone else’s opinions, when all you really want to do is enjoy each mouthful along the way.
A second great thing about eating out alone is the chance to combine food with one of life’s other true pleasures: reading. You have to plan this carefully: Indian or Chinese restaurants are best ― you need food you can eat with just one hand, leaving the other free to hold your reading material.
But perhaps the biggest attraction of a table for one is the chance it gives to people-watching. Restaurants and the different reasons for visiting them ― first date business meeting, night out with friends ― produce human behaviour of surprising richness and variety. Will the man selling his business idea get any joy out of his possible investor(投资者) Will the married couple think of anything to say to each other before their main courses arrive
This “human zoo” part of eating out alone is one of the reasons I’d hate to be famous: everyone would be watching you, so you wouldn’t be able to watch them. The snooker player Steve Davis says this was one of the strangest consequences(后果) of becoming well-known: he got very worried about his eating in public, almost to the level of doubting whether he was “doing it right.”
So next time you’re considering your eating out choices, remember the advice of the businessman Nubar Gulbenkian: “The best number for a dinner party is two ― myself and a super head waiter.”
12. What does the text mainly talk about
A. The reasons for eating out alone.
B. The trouble with eating in public.
C. The suggestions about dining out.
D. The fear of making dining choices.
13. What is the best part of dining out alone
A. One can fix one’s eyes on the food.
B. One can enjoy reading while eating.
C. One is likely to come across famous people.
D. One is given the chance to watch other diners.
14. What does the author intend to tell us in paragraph 5
A. Steve Davis cared too much about table manners.
B. Famous people are always the center of attention.
C. Being famous may ruin the joy of eating out alone.
D. Being watched seems far better than watching others.
15. What is suggested at the end of the text
A. Dining with friends. B. Chatting over dinner.
C. Having a table for one. D. Sharing a table with a waiter.
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. C 15. C
