People love Munich for many reasons. One is that it lets them travel to other cities and towns in Europe, especially in Germany and Austria in a very short time. The European Rail Network makes it possible to explore some wonderful cities from here, convenient and comfortable. Here, we have listed down our bets for the best places near Munich if you take a weekend break from the city or are preparing your Euro Trip plan.

Rothenburg

It seems like the time in this city stopped in Medieval times and the traditional atmosphere of this city makes it an attractive place to visit. One thing that perfectly presents this atmosphere is the Old City Wall, which stands upright even today and offers amazing views of the magical city that Rothenburg is.

Distance from Munich: 250 kilometres

Nuremberg 

For a city that is a little over 1,000 years old, Nuremberg manages to find the right balance between its traditions and modernity, making it an excellent tourist destination. There is a huge castle in the city center and an art museum. In addition, the most-visited winding paths lined by half-timber (木材) houses in different shades are a delight to look at.

Distance from Munich: 168 kilometres

Zugspitze Mountain Peak (山峰)

The Zugspitze Mountain Peak is popular as the tallest peak of Germany! It is located at an altitude of 9,717 feet. According to facts, one can see for up to 155 miles along the horizon on a clear day. The peak is located on the borders of Austria and Germany.

Distance from Munich: 117 kilometres

Passau 

Passau looks very similar to Venice because of the Italian architecture and houses that are built with views of the river Danube. This town is situated on the Austrian border and makes for a perfect place to go on a short holiday. No matter where you are in Passau, it always feels like you are very close to the water.

Distance from Munich: 192 kilometres

Father’s Day, a boxy (箱状的) bright red boat, was designed and made by Hugo Vihlen. It had no room for unnecessary things and only very limited room for him.

Vihlen once made an 84-day crossing of the Atlantic Ocean in 1968. It was then the smallest boat to have made the journey. The sailing boat April Fool was 5 feet and 11 inches long. But Tom McNally broke the world record in 1993 by crossing the Atlantic in a boat that was 5 feet and 4.5 inches long.

In order to regain the world record, Hugo set out alone later that same year to cross the Atlantic from Newfoundland to Falmouth. This time he was in Father’s Day, his home-built boat, which was half an inch shorter than McNally’s.

During his crossing, Hugo had to sleep on his back with his knees bent. He woke every hour to check his heading direction and general sailing conditions. After facing everything the Atlantic Ocean could throw at him, and some close encounters with large ships, Hugo finally arrived in Falmouth 105 days later. He could hardly walk and had lost 34 pounds in weight, but he had regained his record.

His reception on arrival in Falmouth was hardly a hero’s welcome. One of the waiting journalists found him a pizza to eat while his boat was taken to a local sailing boat club. When they arrived at the sailing club for a celebration tea, they found the club dosed. He felt a pity for that. But luckily, a member of the public brought a bottle of champagne (香槟酒) to toast his success.

24. Why did Hugo Vihlen cross the Atlantic in his boat in 1993?

A. To test his newly built boat B. To make Father’s Day famous.

C. To draw public attention to sailing. D. To break Tom McNally’s world record.

25. What can we learn about Hugo Vihlen’s crossing the Atlantic Ocean?

A. It took half a year

B. It was very difficult and uncomfortable

C. It was beyond Hugo Vihlen’s expectation

D. It made Hugo Vihlen seriously injured a few times

26. How was Hugo Vjhlen’s reception on arrival in Falmouth?

A. It attracted a great deal of media attention

B. It finally turned into a simple celebration

C. It was arranged in a serious way

D. It was exactly a hero’s welcome

27. What is the text mainly about?

A. The legend of Father’s Day

B. An unexpected new world record

C. celebration of Hugo Vihlen’s great achievement

D. Hugo Vihlen’s’ story of sailing across the Atlantic Ocean

C

You might have heard about how honey bees are doing poorly these days. It’s different, though, from the situation many of the world’s vulnerable (脆弱的) animals find themselves in. We want them to live their lives and grow stronger, but are we willing to change our lifestyles to make it happen? The decrease in honey bees is a bit different, because if honey bees can’t live well, neither can people and, eventually people won’t eat as result.

As happened in 2017, U.S. beekeepers lost 40 percent of their bees because of a disease. It’s really about the earnings of beekeepers and the reduced amount of bees. But it doesn’t stop there. Honey bees go around doing pollination (授粉). And do you know what need to be pollinated? That’s our crops. The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) estimates bees pollinate about $15 billion worth of apples and peaches each year in the United States alone.

So, we 21st-century humans not only take notice, but also start trying to fix the problem. It’s infeasible that we give every bee the treatment. We can’t imagine how huge the task is and how hard we carry on it! The most promising immediate solution seems to prevent the disease. that’s where the bee vaccine (疫苗) comes.

Scientists have long thought immunizing (使免疫) bees will be unworkable, but a 2015 study discovered that bees transfer immunity to their babies through protein. Vaccinating a bee won’t help that bee, but if you vaccinate the queen of bees, she can pass her immunity on to her later generations through her eggs.

The new vaccine will treat for American foulbrood (AFB), a serious disease that quickly destroys bees. It’s in the testing phases and most likely headed for bee boxes near you. And don’t worry, it doesn’t require a tiny doctor’s chair and needle to deliver the vaccine—the queen bee can drink the medicine in a little sugar water and pass it along to her later generations.

28. What does exactly the author intend to tell us through the 2017 beekeepers’ incident?

A. The beekeepers lead a terrible life.

B. The number of bees continues to decrease.

C. The decline of bees affects the production of grain.

D. The pollination work of bees is huge and complicated.

29. What does the underlined word “infeasible” in Paragraph 3 mean?

A. Practical B. Impossible C. harmful D. Convenient

30. What does Paragraph 4 suggest?

A. The bee vaccine is hard to develop

B. Bees will learn skills from the queen.

C. Bees can transfer immunity to each other.

D. The bee vaccine can take effect in the long run.

31. What can be inferred about the vaccine from the last paragraph?

A. It’s applied to all sick bees

B. It will be delivered to bees by skilled doctors

C. It works by allowing the queen of bees to take it.

D. It has been put into use and makes many bees survive.

D

For British people, the word karaoke caused foggy and unpleasant memories at the office Christmas party. The less-talent performers faced the karaoke machine instead of listeners. They totally enjoyed themselves and didn’t care about what people thought even though it sounded like they tried singing their worst. Many people thought such singing was more like a stupid show. But recently the sing-along activity has been popular again. Karaoke nights have come out around the UK.

Iain Irving, the founder of Supercube, a karaoke gathering place in Edinburgh, said the COVID-19 made karaoke totally different this time. What people used to think of karaoke had become the real past. Irving said, “It is almost like that a suffering man had to go through, about sadness and worry in front of his friends. But karaoke is supposed to be about relaxing oneself in music.” According to Irving, Let It Go from Frozen is the most popular song in Supercube. And letting go is exactly what karaoke is all about. “When you sing, it does make you feel good,” said Irving.

It’s no surprise that karaoke finds its voice again. Singing is known to be bonding (粘合). However, how long has it been since you and your friends sat together to sing songs to your heart’s content? Social media has almost replaced most people’s real social life. Rob Pursey, the founder of Hip Hop Karaoke, said, “Social media can separate us a bit, but karaoke differs. I think people are looking for and they fall in love with those exciting feelings of getting together.”

 The COVID-19 has been going on for several months in the UK. Everyone is tired of the news on the Internet, so it’s nice for people to come out to sing their favorite songs to a cheering crowd. “With boring news ruling the headlines, we are all eager to escape, and karaoke provides it. You just feel like you’re on a different planet for a couple of hours,” said Irving.

32. What was the British people’s attitude to the karaoke activity in the past?

A. Positive B. Negative C. Uninterested D. Doubtful

33. According to Irving, what’s the feature of people singing karaoke under the influence of the COVID-19?

A. They intend to release feelings through karaoke.

B. They like to sing different kinds of pleasant songs.

C. They expect to find strength in songs to fight the virus.

D. They listen to others singing instead of singing together.

34. What do Rob Pursey’s words in Paragraph suggest?

A. Karaoke should include various games.

B. Social media will cost people much time.

C. Social media make communication more effective.

D. Karaoke brings people the pleasure of close communication.

35. What would be the best title for the text?

A. Karaoke’s return to the UK.

B. The benefits of singing karaoke.

C. British people’s debate over karaoke.

D. The development of karaoke in the UK.

第二节  阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事，续写的词数150左右（满分25分）

“Honey, one of the headlights on my car is broken.” Mary told her husband Eric.

“If you can get the new bulb, I’ll change it this weekend,” Eric answered.

The next day, Mary headed to the auto-parts store and bought the replacement bulb. She put it on the console (控制台), so she would know exactly where it was when Eric needed it.

But Eric got busy that weekend and had no time to change it. The same thing happened the following weekend and the weekend after that.

Mary had been driving around with the replacement bulb for about a month when a policeman pulled her over.

“Madam, I stop you because you’ve got a headlight out,” he said. “I’m going to give you a ticket.”

Mary yanked (猛拉) the bulb from the console—still in the package—and showed it to him. “With all due respect, sir, I did my part,” she told him. “I bought the bulb a month ago. My husband hasn’t made time to install (安装) the light bought, so if you’re going to give someone a ticket, it will have to go to him.”

“But, madam, you’re the one driving the car. I can’t give him ticket.”

“I am only driving with faulty equipment because my husband did not do his part.” Mary held up the bulb. “I did my part. The ticket should go to him.”

The officer’s lips twitched (抽搐), and then he said with smile, “You win. what’s your husband’s name?”

Mary told him. He went back to his police car and returned minutes later. He handed her a written warning, for Eric. At the bottom there were some words—Change your wife’s headlight. You don’t want that woman to be mad at you.

Paragraph 1

When Mary got home, she handed Eric the warning ticket. _________________________________________
