Last summer, I began the biggest adventure(冒险) of my life. I moved from a small city in England to one of the largest cities in the world.
As the plane landed(降落) in Beijing, I felt excited —I finally arrived here after months of planning! The first thing I did was to visit one of the city's hutongs. I couldn't believe that many people still rode their old-fashioned tricycles(老式三轮脚踏车). Just at that time, I thought, "Wow! I'm in China."
Beijing is very different from my city, Preston. Preston has only one shopping street and on Sunday, all the shops close at 4:00 p. m. There aren't many choices when it comes to the restaurants, either, because the food is very simple. But after I have tasted so many kinds of food here, I still don't have a favorite dish.
I am slowly getting used to the different life, and I find that some habits here are quite strange and humorous (幽默的). English people were told not to make any kind of noise at the dinner table when they were children, so it is a funny culture shock (冲击) when I hear the loud noise of Chinese dinners.
In the future, I will go to many other parts of China. I hope I can travel from one end to the other of this beautiful country, taking photos and meeting new people along the way.
My adventure in China has just begun, and I wonder how it will be.
1．The writer felt ____ when he saw many people riding old-fashioned tricycles.
A．sad B．scared C．surprised D．terrible
2．What can we know from the passage
A．The writer's trip in China has already finished.
B．People in Preston usually stay quiet when eating.
C．The writer has found what he likes to eat best in Beijing.
D．The writer planned for several years before getting to Beijing.
3．What's the best title for this passage
A．Eating in Beijing
B．A Travel Plan for the Future
C．Going Shopping in Beijing
D．An Adventure in Beijing
4．The passage probably comes from the part of ____ in a newspaper.
A．Science B．Travel C．Invention D．Nature

Vicuna, a small town in the north of Chile, is a great place for watching stars all year round. Although it is near the sea, the cold, wet air from the coast does not bring clouds. Instead, dry winds from the desert keep the clouds away at night. In fact, the sky is so clear in Vicuna that it is possible to see many stars that can be seen only with advanced(先进的) instruments in other parts of the world.
In Vicuna, distant(遥远的) star systems such as Magellanic Clouds can be seen without the help of an instrument. That is why the town was chosen as the home of a number of sky observatories(天文台). One of them, the Mamalluca, is quite different from the typical observatories used by scientists. This observatory was built for tourists who like to look at the stars. During the year, Vicuna's hotels accommodate thousands of tourists who come from all over the world to see the night sky as they have only seen it in books. The cloudless sky is clearly a moneymaker for the town, which plans to set up even more observatories. It was recently decided that building observatories would go on for another few years.
At one point, however, the town faced a serious problem. As the town grew, more streetlights were added, making it more and more difficult to see the stars at night. The town saved the night sky by building a new system of lights that lit up the streets without influencing the view of the sky.
5．What can we learn from Paragraph 1
A．Vicuna is a small town far from the ocean.
B．We can see wonderful clouds in the sky over Vicuna.
C．The sky in Vicuna is clear all year round.
6．What makes the Mamalluca a special observatory in Vicuna
A．Its size. B．Its location. C．It serves tourists.
7．What does the underlined word "accommodate" most probably mean in Chinese
A．容纳 B．建议 C．控制
8．Why did Vicuna spend money on a new streetlight system
A．The old streetlights used lots of electricity.
B．The old streetlights made it hard to see the stars at night.
C．The new streetlights would be more beautiful.
9．What is the best title for the passage
A．Vicuna Has a Problem
B．A Town to Watch the Stars
C．Pictures of a Cloudless Sky

Switzerland (瑞士) is a very beautiful place. And the Swiss government has come up with some strange rules.
Is it exciting to have a goldfish as a pet It is easy to take care of and makes your life interesting. But hold on, you may make a big mistake if you live in Switzerland. It is not allowed to keep only one goldfish, according to the country's law (法律). Why Fish are social animals. In the sea they swim in groups.

Dog lovers have to take courses before they can own one—and then have practical training. If you just want a cat, you must let it outside so it can see other cats. If it's going to be kept indoors, then you've got to get two.
Are you planning to buy a parrot and keep it alone at home for fun Forget about it in Switzerland. It'll be considered abuse (虐待) unless you can get it a friend to talk to.
