The Best Cities to Visit with
Great Public Transport
New York City, USA
The New York City subway runs 24 hours a day. A single ride costs less than $3. Everyone in New York rides the train, from bankers and politicians to cooks and cleaners. Riding the train is the best way to experience the city, as you'll hear nearly every language in the world spoken, and you'll probably also get pleasure by watching some performances. Their shows are usually a real treat for visitors.
Edinburgh, Scotland
Scotland's main public transport ScotRail system stops in tiny towns and villages along the way in Edinburgh. Trains are clean, on schedule, and easy to use. Edinburgh has many different choices for public transportation. The brand new Edinburgh Trams, which was completed in June 2023, offers a pleasant way to get from central Edinburgh out to the airport.
Mexico City, Mexico
Mexico City continuously improves its public transportation while placing an increasing number of limitations to cars to ensure clean air. There are various options, like a Metro train network, aboveground light rail, minibuses, and interstate buses that can quickly get you to Tepoztlan, Cuernavaca, Oaxaca and beyond. Unlike the proper Metro trains, which are very simple, with clear signs and maps, minibuses might be a bit confusing for first time visitors.
Tokyo, Japan
The Tokyo subway system is the major public transport, which is shockingly clean and timely. The Tokyo public transportation system is the best way to get around, which is fast, and far more affordable than taxis, and it goes just about everywhere, including all the popular attractions. The subway card can be used for goods and services all over Japan.

The bus screamed to a stop in Nazareth, Israel. Five Australian backpackers boarded and struck up a conversation with me. They asked typical travelers' questions—where was I going and why was I traveling alone My plan was to travel with a friend of a friend, I explained, but when I called her that morning, she didn't pick up and I had no other way to reach her. My__stomach__was__in__knots,__but I decided to head out anyway, thinking I might run into her if I traveled to Tiberius, where we had planned to go together.
“Why don't you travel with us？” one of the backpackers offered. They were experienced adventurers who would work for a few months, save, and then travel for as long as they could. Their current plan was to explore the Middle East and Europe in three months while working in London.
It seemed risky to travel with strangers, but my instinct (直觉) said yes. For the next two weeks, I explored Israel with the backpackers and learned to trust my instincts in all types of new and interesting situations. When they took a ride, I took the bus, but when they wanted to steal into the King David Hotel's swimming pool, I led the way.
The world opened up to me because I chose to travel alone. I joined complete strangers, who become close friends. Years later, one couple from the backpacking group even flew from Sydney to Phoenix to be in my wedding. The trip was such a special experience that it gave me confidence in all areas of my life. Since then, I've backpacked alone across South Africa, sky dived from 12，000 feet in New Zealand and even moved across the US with no job lined up.
On my third day wandering in Israel with my new friends, I bumped into the woman I was supposed to meet. Though I was happy she was all right, I was grateful she hadn't picked up the phone.
24．The underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 means the author was ________．( )
A．sick of repeating routines
B．nervous of new situations
C．upset about the sudden change
D．sorry about the careless plan
25．Which of the following best describes the backpackers the author met？( )
A．Homeless but lighthearted.
B．Jobless and poorly educated.
C．Courageous but disrespectful.
D．Warm－hearted and experienced.
26．What did the author's instinct tell her？( )
A．It might cause trouble to have a swim.
B．It could add excitement to get a free ride.
C．She would get along with the backpackers.
D．She ought to stay away from the backpackers.
27．What can be inferred from the passage？( )
A．The author thought it right to travel alone.
B．The author became a full－time backpack traveler.
C．The woman missed the call in order to travel alone.
D．Most of the backpackers became the author's lifelong friends.
C
Within the beautiful scenery of Wisconsin's Lake Chippewa lies a natural wonder that is a unique challenge for the local community. This hidden wonder is exactly a giant floating island. The island, made up of plants and trees, sometimes floats around the lake, causing a major inconvenience by blocking (阻塞) an important bridge. Later, the local people came up with a solution to this problem. Every year, local boat owners work together and push the island away from the bridge.
Lake Chippewa was born in 1923 when a vast bog (沼泽) was changed through flooding. Soon after that, many of the dark bogs started rising to the surface and became perfect growing places for plants, with seeds carried by wind and wild birds to this floating place. Over the years, these bogs have grown plants and trees and turned into full islands. As time goes by, plants take root, and the oldest islands even have trees that act as sails (船帆) when the wind blows, moving the entire floating island around the lake.
Although the years old floating island does not relocate (重新迁移) so often, when it does, it causes trouble for the community by blocking the important bridge that serves as the only passage between the lake's East and West sides. The only solution is to gather a group of boats, and not just one or two, but dozens of boats working together to push the island away. “It takes a community's effort, and you must have the winds at your back to push them in，” said a resident. Moving the island also requires precision (精确), as just relocating it a short distance may result in its return within days.
Some people have suggested destroying the floating islands to get rid of the problem. However, the big bog in Lake Chippewa has been around for many years, and during that time a variety of animal and plant species have made it their home. Therefore, local government advises they be dealt with in a way that won't do harm to wildlife, paying more attention to the fine drawn balance between human convenience and environmental protection. The annual tradition of relocating Lake Chippewa's floating island is evidence to the coexistence of man and nature, a heartwarming display of community unity, and a reminder of the importance of preserving the unique areas that enrich our world.
28．What does the underlined word “solution” in Paragraph 1 refer to？( )
A．Building a new bridge.
B．Moving the floating island away.
C．Transforming the vast bog.
D．Rebuilding the local community.
29．What can we know from Paragraph 2？( )
A．The formation of the floating island.
B．The history of flooding in Lake Chippewa.
C．The varieties of species in Lake Chippewa.
D．The impact of the wind on the floating island.
30．Which of the following statements is mentioned about the relocation work from Paragraph 3？( )
A．It is usually finished within days.
B．It is a must in cooperation and precision.
C．It can only be carried out during windless days.
D．It greatly disturbs the community residents' lives.
31．Why has the local government refused to destroy the island？( )
A．To save costs for local people.
B．To ensure the safety of residents.
C．To improve the bond between communities.
D．To protect the wildlife species on the island.

I've lived in Cardigan Bay (卡迪根海湾) in West Wales since I was a few months old. You've got everything you need here. Hills, stunning beaches, nice coastal paths. As someone who loves the countryside, I've never wanted to leave.
I was lucky to find work I could do in this area. A lot of people do have to move away in order to find work. I started Adventure Beyond here about 30 years ago and we work all over the UK. We go up to Scotland; we work along the Thames. We've also taken groups to Canada, the Himalayas, places like that. But honestly, West Wales has got everything. We can do everything we need right here.
Cardigan Bay is pretty huge, but I find having grown up here there's a definite sense of place. There's an awareness that we're lucky to have these incredible sandy beaches, pebbly beaches, beautiful rivers, hills. It's peaceful, and it's not overdeveloped. Of course, there're periods when it gets busy, but then the second schools go back and you pretty much get the beaches to yourself. There is a sense of community (群体) too, with a lot of good community based clubs, such as the Poppit Sands Surf Lifesaving Club.
I set up Adventure Beyond to make my own work in the area. I love the outdoors, and I wanted to be in Cardigan Bay, so it was perfect. I've tried to always keep that personal touch. The clients (客户) will pretty much always meet myself and all the staff. We took a lot of people on through the Kickstart scheme (启动计划) and they've been employed with us for a few years. A lot of our clients have been with us since we started, too. There's a sense of family, which is quite special.
I won't mention a specific favorite place, but in general the beaches are just amazing. It's just a sort of wild west, really.
32．What is Adventure Beyond？( )
A．A travel agency.
B．A government program.
C．An outdoor activity center.
D．A community based club.
33．What is Cardigan Bay like in the author's eyes？( )
A．It gives a sense of belonging.
B．It's undeveloped but peaceful.
C．Its beauty hasn't been noticed.
D．It has the best beaches in the world.
34．What does the underlined “it” refer to？( )
A．Keeping that personal touch.
B．Getting the beaches back to the locals.
C．Enjoying outdoor activities with clients.
D．Starting Adventure Beyond in Cardigan Bay.
35．What is the text mainly about？( )
A．The author's simple life in Cardigan Bay.
B．The author's deep love for Cardigan Bay.
C．The author's exploration of Cardigan Bay.
D．The author's hope for the future Cardigan Bay.

A young girl named Lily had always dreamed of going on a world tour. She had read countless books about far－off lands and different cultures, and she longed to experience them for herself.
One day, Lily made up her mind to take the challenge and set out on an exciting journey. She carried a big backpack with all the necessaries of life and set off into the unknown.
Her first stop was a famous city, where she was attracted at once by the lively colors and sounds of the streets. She walked slowly around the markets, tasting new foods and chatting with the vendors (商贩). As she continued on her journey, Lily came across all sorts of interesting people and places. She met a wise old man who taught her the art of keeping calm, and a group of musicians who invited her to join their team.
But not everything was easy on her travels. Lily faced challenges and difficulties along the way, from getting lost in a foreign city to running out of money. But she kept going because it was what she enjoyed, always keeping her heart open to new experiences.
On the last leg of the tour, Lily found herself in a small village which was located in the forested mountains. The air was fresh and clean, and the mountain view was breathtaking. She decided to stay for a while, helping out the locals and learning about their way of life.
It was there that she met a kind－hearted girl named Cathy, who also dreamed of traveling just like her. Together, they explored the nearby wilderness, climbing mountains and fishing in rivers.
But as much as Lily loved her travels, she began to want to go home. She missed her family and friends back home, and she longed for the familiar comforts of her own bed.
注意：
1．续写词数应为150个左右；
2．请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
So Lily said goodbye to Cathy and set off on the journey back home. Lily shared the interesting stories with her loved ones upon returning home.

You ask me if I have been in a plane. Of course, I have. Now I tell you how I like it. Last Monday I flew to Singapore. Thirteen days ago I went to the office in Kuala Lumpur and bought my ticket. Then very early on Monday morning, I went to the office again with my luggage and got into the bus with the other passengers. The bus took us to the airport. There people took our luggage and put it in the plane. And then, after about twenty minutes, we got in, too. I was a little afraid at first, because it was my first ride in a plane, but a kind air hostess brought us some sweets and spoke to me, and soon I was quite happy again. We flew through some clouds. They were very white, like cotton, and beautiful. Then we began to come down because we were near Singapore. We went through the clouds and flew over Singapore. It was very interesting. When we got out of the plane, I said, “I like flying！”

The Best Cities to Visit with
Great Public Transport
New York City, USA
The New York City subway runs 24 hours a day. A single ride costs less than $3. Everyone in New York rides the train, from bankers and politicians to cooks and cleaners. Riding the train is the best way to experience the city, as you'll hear nearly every language in the world spoken, and you'll probably also get pleasure by watching some performances. Their shows are usually a real treat for visitors.
Edinburgh, Scotland
Scotland's main public transport ScotRail system stops in tiny towns and villages along the way in Edinburgh. Trains are clean, on schedule, and easy to use. Edinburgh has many different choices for public transportation. The brand new Edinburgh Trams, which was completed in June 2023, offers a pleasant way to get from central Edinburgh out to the airport.
Mexico City, Mexico
Mexico City continuously improves its public transportation while placing an increasing number of limitations to cars to ensure clean air. There are various options, like a Metro train network, aboveground light rail, minibuses, and interstate buses that can quickly get you to Tepoztlan, Cuernavaca, Oaxaca and beyond. Unlike the proper Metro trains, which are very simple, with clear signs and maps, minibuses might be a bit confusing for first time visitors.
Tokyo, Japan
The Tokyo subway system is the major public transport, which is shockingly clean and timely. The Tokyo public transportation system is the best way to get around, which is fast, and far more affordable than taxis, and it goes just about everywhere, including all the popular attractions. The subway card can be used for goods and services all over Japan.

The bus screamed to a stop in Nazareth, Israel. Five Australian backpackers boarded and struck up a conversation with me. They asked typical travelers' questions—where was I going and why was I traveling alone My plan was to travel with a friend of a friend, I explained, but when I called her that morning, she didn't pick up and I had no other way to reach her. My__stomach__was__in__knots,__but I decided to head out anyway, thinking I might run into her if I traveled to Tiberius, where we had planned to go together.
“Why don't you travel with us？” one of the backpackers offered. They were experienced adventurers who would work for a few months, save, and then travel for as long as they could. Their current plan was to explore the Middle East and Europe in three months while working in London.
It seemed risky to travel with strangers, but my instinct (直觉) said yes. For the next two weeks, I explored Israel with the backpackers and learned to trust my instincts in all types of new and interesting situations. When they took a ride, I took the bus, but when they wanted to steal into the King David Hotel's swimming pool, I led the way.
The world opened up to me because I chose to travel alone. I joined complete strangers, who become close friends. Years later, one couple from the backpacking group even flew from Sydney to Phoenix to be in my wedding. The trip was such a special experience that it gave me confidence in all areas of my life. Since then, I've backpacked alone across South Africa, sky dived from 12，000 feet in New Zealand and even moved across the US with no job lined up.
On my third day wandering in Israel with my new friends, I bumped into the woman I was supposed to meet. Though I was happy she was all right, I was grateful she hadn't picked up the phone.

Within the beautiful scenery of Wisconsin's Lake Chippewa lies a natural wonder that is a unique challenge for the local community. This hidden wonder is exactly a giant floating island. The island, made up of plants and trees, sometimes floats around the lake, causing a major inconvenience by blocking (阻塞) an important bridge. Later, the local people came up with a solution to this problem. Every year, local boat owners work together and push the island away from the bridge.
Lake Chippewa was born in 1923 when a vast bog (沼泽) was changed through flooding. Soon after that, many of the dark bogs started rising to the surface and became perfect growing places for plants, with seeds carried by wind and wild birds to this floating place. Over the years, these bogs have grown plants and trees and turned into full islands. As time goes by, plants take root, and the oldest islands even have trees that act as sails (船帆) when the wind blows, moving the entire floating island around the lake.
Although the years old floating island does not relocate (重新迁移) so often, when it does, it causes trouble for the community by blocking the important bridge that serves as the only passage between the lake's East and West sides. The only solution is to gather a group of boats, and not just one or two, but dozens of boats working together to push the island away. “It takes a community's effort, and you must have the winds at your back to push them in，” said a resident. Moving the island also requires precision (精确), as just relocating it a short distance may result in its return within days.
Some people have suggested destroying the floating islands to get rid of the problem. However, the big bog in Lake Chippewa has been around for many years, and during that time a variety of animal and plant species have made it their home. Therefore, local government advises they be dealt with in a way that won't do harm to wildlife, paying more attention to the fine drawn balance between human convenience and environmental protection. The annual tradition of relocating Lake Chippewa's floating island is evidence to the coexistence of man and nature, a heartwarming display of community unity, and a reminder of the importance of preserving the unique areas that enrich our world.
篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了位于威斯康星州奇佩瓦湖的一个自然奇观——巨大的浮岛。

I've lived in Cardigan Bay (卡迪根海湾) in West Wales since I was a few months old. You've got everything you need here. Hills, stunning beaches, nice coastal paths. As someone who loves the countryside, I've never wanted to leave.
I was lucky to find work I could do in this area. A lot of people do have to move away in order to find work. I started Adventure Beyond here about 30 years ago and we work all over the UK. We go up to Scotland; we work along the Thames. We've also taken groups to Canada, the Himalayas, places like that. But honestly, West Wales has got everything. We can do everything we need right here.
Cardigan Bay is pretty huge, but I find having grown up here there's a definite sense of place. There's an awareness that we're lucky to have these incredible sandy beaches, pebbly beaches, beautiful rivers, hills. It's peaceful, and it's not overdeveloped. Of course, there're periods when it gets busy, but then the second schools go back and you pretty much get the beaches to yourself. There is a sense of community (群体) too, with a lot of good community based clubs, such as the Poppit Sands Surf Lifesaving Club.
I set up Adventure Beyond to make my own work in the area. I love the outdoors, and I wanted to be in Cardigan Bay, so it was perfect. I've tried to always keep that personal touch. The clients (客户) will pretty much always meet myself and all the staff. We took a lot of people on through the Kickstart scheme (启动计划) and they've been employed with us for a few years. A lot of our clients have been with us since we started, too. There's a sense of family, which is quite special.
I won't mention a specific favorite place, but in general the beaches are just amazing. It's just a sort of wild west, really.

Dear Peter，
How is it going I am writing to share with you about the hiking trip I went on with my classmates last Saturday.
We started our hike from the school gate and made our way up to the foot of South Mountain. The route was challenging, but the scenery along the way made it all worth it. We encouraged each other during difficult parts of the trail and cheered each other. At the end of the hike, we all felt a great sense of accomplishment. Personally, I felt more connected to nature.
It was an unforgettable experience. I hope one day we can hike together and create new memories.
Yours,
Li Hua

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。
A young girl named Lily had always dreamed of going on a world tour. She had read countless books about far－off lands and different cultures, and she longed to experience them for herself.
One day, Lily made up her mind to take the challenge and set out on an exciting journey. She carried a big backpack with all the necessaries of life and set off into the unknown.
Her first stop was a famous city, where she was attracted at once by the lively colors and sounds of the streets. She walked slowly around the markets, tasting new foods and chatting with the vendors (商贩). As she continued on her journey, Lily came across all sorts of interesting people and places. She met a wise old man who taught her the art of keeping calm, and a group of musicians who invited her to join their team.
But not everything was easy on her travels. Lily faced challenges and difficulties along the way, from getting lost in a foreign city to running out of money. But she kept going because it was what she enjoyed, always keeping her heart open to new experiences.
On the last leg of the tour, Lily found herself in a small village which was located in the forested mountains. The air was fresh and clean, and the mountain view was breathtaking. She decided to stay for a while, helping out the locals and learning about their way of life.
It was there that she met a kind－hearted girl named Cathy, who also dreamed of traveling just like her. Together, they explored the nearby wilderness, climbing mountains and fishing in rivers.
But as much as Lily loved her travels, she began to want to go home. She missed her family and friends back home, and she longed for the familiar comforts of her own bed.
注意：
1．续写词数应为150个左右；
2．请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
So Lily said goodbye to Cathy and set off on the journey back home. Lily shared the interesting stories with her loved ones upon returning home.
写前导读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Lily (莉莉)开始了一段激动人心的旅程，她最后在一个小村庄留了下来，遇到了一个叫Cathy (凯西)的女孩，两个人一起探索附近的荒野，Lily虽然很喜欢旅行，但她开始想家了，想念自己的家人与朋友，最后Lily回家了吗？Lily到家后与所爱的人分享了什么？
[精彩范文]
So Lily said goodbye to Cathy and set off on the journey back home. On the way, Lily noticed a small bird in a nearby tree was flying around the nest, from which Lily could tell something was wrong. She neared the bird and saw what had happened. She found that on the ground near the tree lay a baby bird. She picked up the bird and put it in the nest. Then she continued to head in the direction of her home. In the days to follow, she came across many interesting things and many helpful persons.
Lily shared the interesting stories with her loved ones upon returning home. They listened closely as she told them what she had experienced and the stories of her friend Cathy. They enjoyed the gifts she had brought back with her. Lily was happy to be back in the familiar surroundings of her hometown, but she valued the memories of her travel, which had changed her in ways she could never have imagined. She was thankful for every moment of her journey and the friendship between Cathy and her.

You ask me if I have been in a plane. Of course, I have. Now I tell you how I like it.
Last Monday I flew to Singapore. Thirteen days ago I went to the office in Kuala Lumpur and bought my ticket. Then very early on Monday morning, I went to the office again with my luggage and got into the bus with the other passengers.
The bus took us to the airport. There people took our luggage and put it in the plane. And then, after about twenty minutes, we got in, too. I was a little afraid at first, because it was my first ride in a plane, but a kind air hostess brought us some sweets and spoke to me, and soon I was quite happy again.
We flew through some clouds. They were very white, like cotton, and beautiful. Then we began to come down because we were near Singapore. We went through the clouds and flew over Singapore. It was very interesting. When we got out of the plane, I said, “I like flying！”

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
The Best Cities to Visit with
Great Public Transport
New York City, USA
The New York City subway runs 24 hours a day. A single ride costs less than $3. Everyone in New York rides the train, from bankers and politicians to cooks and cleaners. Riding the train is the best way to experience the city, as you’ll hear nearly every language in the world spoken, and you’ll probably also get pleasure by watching some performances. Their shows are usually a real treat for visitors.
Edinburgh, Scotland
Scotland’s main public transport ScotRail system stops in tiny towns and villages along the way in Edinburgh. Trains are clean, on schedule, and easy to use. Edinburgh has many different choices for public transportation. The brand new Edinburgh Trams, which was completed in June 2023, offers a pleasant way to get from central Edinburgh out to the airport.
Mexico City, Mexico
Mexico City continuously improves its public transportation while placing an increasing number of limitations to cars to ensure clean air. There are various options, like a Metro train network, aboveground light rail, minibuses, and interstate buses that can
quickly get you to Tepoztlan, Cuernavaca, Oaxaca and beyond. Unlike the proper Metro trains, which are very simple, with clear signs and maps, minibuses might be a bit confusing for first time visitors.
Tokyo, Japan
The Tokyo subway system is the major public transport, which is shockingly clean and timely. The Tokyo public transportation system is the best way to get around, which is fast, and far more affordable than taxis, and it goes just about everywhere, including all the popular attractions. The subway card can be used for goods and services all over Japan.

The bus screamed to a stop in Nazareth, Israel. Five Australian backpackers boarded and struck up a conversation with me. They asked typical travelers’ questions—where was I going and why was I traveling alone My plan was to travel with a friend of a friend, I explained, but when I called her that morning, she didn’t pick up and I had no other way to reach her. My stomach was in knots, but I decided to head out anyway, thinking I might run into her if I traveled to Tiberius, where we had planned to go together.
“Why don’t you travel with us？” one of the backpackers offered. They were experienced adventurers who would work for a few months, save, and then travel for as long as they could. Their current plan was to explore the Middle East and Europe in three months while working in London.
It seemed risky to travel with strangers, but my instinct (直觉) said yes. For the next two weeks, I explored Israel with the backpackers and learned to trust my instincts in all types of new and interesting situations. When they took a ride, I took the bus, but when they wanted to steal into the King David Hotel’s swimming pool, I led the way.
The world opened up to me because I chose to travel alone. I joined complete strangers, who become close friends. Years later, one couple from the backpacking group even flew from Sydney to Phoenix to be in my wedding. The trip was such a special experience that it gave me confidence in all areas of my life. Since then, I’ve backpacked alone across South Africa, sky dived from 12，000 feet in New Zealand and even moved across the US with no job lined up.
On my third day wandering in Israel with my new friends, I bumped into the woman I was supposed to meet. Though I was happy she was all right, I was grateful she hadn’t picked up the phone.

Within the beautiful scenery of Wisconsin’s Lake Chippewa lies a natural wonder that is a unique challenge for the local community. This hidden wonder is exactly a giant floating island. The island, made up of plants and trees, sometimes floats around the lake, causing a major inconvenience by blocking (阻塞) an important bridge. Later, the local people came up with a solution to this problem. Every year, local boat owners work together and push the island away from the bridge.
Lake Chippewa was born in 1923 when a vast bog (沼泽) was changed through flooding. Soon after that, many of the dark bogs started rising to the surface and became
perfect growing places for plants, with seeds carried by wind and wild birds to this floating place. Over the years, these bogs have grown plants and trees and turned into full islands. As time goes by, plants take root, and the oldest islands even have trees that act as sails (船帆) when the wind blows, moving the entire floating island around the lake.
Although the years old floating island does not relocate (重新迁移) so often, when it does, it causes trouble for the community by blocking the important bridge that serves as the only passage between the lake’s East and West sides. The only solution is to gather a group of boats, and not just one or two, but dozens of boats working together to push the island away. “It takes a community’s effort, and you must have the winds at your back to push them in，” said a resident. Moving the island also requires precision (精确), as just relocating it a short distance may result in its return within days.
Some people have suggested destroying the floating islands to get rid of the problem. However, the big bog in Lake Chippewa has been around for many years, and during that time a variety of animal and plant species have made it their home. Therefore, local government advises they be dealt with in a way that won’t do harm to wildlife, paying more attention to the fine drawn balance between human convenience and environmental protection. The annual tradition of relocating Lake Chippewa’s floating island is evidence to the coexistence of man and nature, a heartwarming display of community unity, and a reminder of the importance of preserving the unique areas that enrich our world.
篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了位于威斯康星州奇佩瓦湖的一个自然奇观——巨大的浮岛。

A．Building a new bridge.

I’ve lived in Cardigan Bay (卡迪根海湾) in West Wales since I was a few months old. You’ve got everything you need here. Hills, stunning beaches, nice coastal paths. As someone who loves the countryside, I’ve never wanted to leave.
I was lucky to find work I could do in this area. A lot of people do have to move away in order to find work. I started Adventure Beyond here about 30 years ago and we work all over the UK. We go up to Scotland; we work along the Thames. We’ve also taken groups to Canada, the Himalayas, places like that. But honestly, West Wales has got everything. We can do everything we need right here.
Cardigan Bay is pretty huge, but I find having grown up here there’s a definite sense of place. There’s an awareness that we’re lucky to have these incredible sandy beaches, pebbly beaches, beautiful rivers, hills. It’s peaceful, and it’s not overdeveloped. Of course, there’re periods when it gets busy, but then the second schools go back and you pretty much get the beaches to yourself. There is a sense of community (群体) too, with a lot of good community based clubs, such as the Poppit Sands Surf Lifesaving Club.
I set up Adventure Beyond to make my own work in the area. I love the outdoors, and I wanted to be in Cardigan Bay, so it was perfect. I’ve tried to always keep that personal touch. The clients (客户) will pretty much always meet myself and all the staff.
We took a lot of people on through the Kickstart scheme (启动计划) and they’ve been employed with us for a few years. A lot of our clients have been with us since we started, too. There’s a sense of family, which is quite special.
I won’t mention a specific favorite place, but in general the beaches are just amazing. It’s just a sort of wild west, really.
篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了作者对于卡迪根海湾的喜爱之情。

D．Starting Adventure Beyond in Cardigan Bay.
解析：指代判断题。根据画线词上文“I love the outdoors, and I wanted to be in Cardigan Bay”可知，作者喜欢户外活动，同时也想住在卡迪根海湾，因此在卡迪根海湾创立Adventure Beyond对作者来说很完美。由此可推知，it指的是在卡迪根海湾创立Adventure Beyond。故选D。
答案
解析
35．What is the text mainly about？( )
A．The author’s simple life in Cardigan Bay.
B．The author’s deep love for Cardigan Bay.
C．The author’s exploration of Cardigan Bay.

Dear Peter，
How is it going I am writing to share with you about the hiking trip I went on with my classmates last Saturday.
We started our hike from the school gate and made our way up to the foot of South Mountain. The route was challenging, but the scenery along the way made it all worth it. We encouraged each other during difficult parts of the trail and cheered each other. At the end of the hike, we all felt a great sense of accomplishment. Personally, I felt more connected to nature.
It was an unforgettable experience. I hope one day we can hike together and create new memories.
Yours,

A young girl named Lily had always dreamed of going on a world tour. She had read countless books about far－off lands and different cultures, and she longed to experience them for herself.
One day, Lily made up her mind to take the challenge and set out on an exciting journey. She carried a big backpack with all the necessaries of life and set off into the unknown.
Her first stop was a famous city, where she was attracted at once by the lively colors and sounds of the streets. She walked slowly around the markets, tasting new foods and chatting with the vendors (商贩). As she continued on her journey, Lily came across all sorts of interesting people and places. She met a wise old man who taught her the art of keeping calm, and a group of musicians who invited her to join their team.
But not everything was easy on her travels. Lily faced challenges and difficulties along the way, from getting lost in a foreign city to running out of money. But she kept going because it was what she enjoyed, always keeping her heart open to new experiences.
On the last leg of the tour, Lily found herself in a small village which was located in the forested mountains. The air was fresh and clean, and the mountain view was breathtaking. She decided to stay for a while, helping out the locals and learning about their way of life.
It was there that she met a kind－hearted girl named Cathy, who also dreamed of traveling just like her. Together, they explored the nearby wilderness, climbing mountains and fishing in rivers.
But as much as Lily loved her travels, she began to want to go home. She missed her family and friends back home, and she longed for the familiar comforts of her own bed.
注意：
1．续写词数应为150个左右；
2．请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
So Lily said goodbye to Cathy and set off on the journey back home.﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍

Then she continued to head in the direction of her home. In the days to follow, she came across many interesting things and many helpful persons.

They enjoyed the gifts she had brought back with her. Lily was happy to be back in the familiar surroundings of her hometown, but she valued the memories of her travel, which had changed her in ways she could never have imagined.
