While people are traveling more than ever, there are still unimagined adventures. Tom Hall, editorial director of Lonely Planet, shares some.

Sleep in a suspended pod

Calea, Peru

Hanging out in Peru takes on a whole new meaning when you book a room hanging from the side of a mountain "I've never seen anything quite like this before," says Hall. "You're overlooking the Sacred Valley, one of the most popular places to stay in the country."

Trampoline(蹦床) underground

Gwynedd, Wales

Northern Wales has found a clever use for one of its old mines, turning a former industrial site into an underground trampoline park Visitors find rope ladders and slides, and a line of trampolines spreading nearly a mile. “When my kids saw them, they went crazy absolutely,” Hall says.

Surf down the side of a volcano

Cerro Negro, Nicaragua

Thill-seekers don't need surf or snow on this active volcano. Tour companies bring visitors to the peak, which is covered with fine black ash. “You climb up it, jump on a board, and you go very fast for a long way. It's an exciting ride,” Hall says.

See art inside a bunker

Berlin

Take in art and history at the Boros Collection- -a private art gallery housed inside a World War II bunker, The building, which once protected Nazi leaders, served as a nightclub after the fall of the Berlin Wall. “It was pretty hard to get rid of because it's so well-constructed,” Hall says. “Now it has some very interesting and unusual art.”

21. What about the room in Calea impresses Tom Hall most?

I'm interested in the Renaissance(文艺复兴), so I like visiting ancient Italian cities. Ferrara is called City of the Renaissance. When I learned about this city on the Internet, I decided to pay a visit to it.

The city has a certain charm, but I find it isn't as great as other Italian cities like Verona, let alone Venice or Rome. The Michelin Green Guide gives it two stars, which is right.

I first visited the city centre. The Cathedral and Castello Estense are at the heart of the city. Both have striking appearances. I visited the Cathedral first. Castello Estense is also worth visiting, which owes its name to the powerful Este family, It was built with bricks and surrounded by a moat (护城河) At the lower levels, the history of the city and the Este family are told through displays, and in another part the ceilings are shown through mirrors on the ground.

In the north, we can appreciate the Renaissance extension of the town, with straight streets and monumental houses. The famous Palazzo dei Diamanti lies here.

When I was visiting it, it started to rain, so after taking a few photos quickly, I cut my visit there short. It had been raining for a few days. When the rain stopped, I went to visit the historical centre and the Renaissance buildings.

After leaving there, I visited several other interesting places such as palaces and the narrow streets of the downtown. After four hours in Ferrara I left by train to Mantua. There I had a much better time.

24. Why did the author pay a visit to Ferrara?

A. Because it is related to the Renaissance.

B. Because it is full of charm.

C. Because it is a very famous city in Europe.

D. Because it is strongly recommended by a website.

25. What did the author think of The Michelin Green Guide's comment on Ferrara?

A. Ridiculous.   B. Reasonable.  C. Unacceptable.  D. Unbelievable.

26. How could Castello Estense probably get its name according to the text?

A. It came from the historical buildings.

B. It originated from the straight streets.

C. It was named after the powerful Este family.

D. It was connected to the surrounding moat.

27. What can we infer from the text?

A The writer thought Ferrara was as great as Venice.

B. The writer visited Palazzo dei Diamanti for a long time.

C. The writer was much more satisfied with the tour in Mantua than in Ferrara.

D. The writer was disappointed with the visit to the Cathedral and Castello Estense.

C

When you're walking your dog in the park, he comes across another dog The dogs look at each other, sniff each other, and walk circles around each other. And then the fight begins. But is it really a fight, or is it just play-fighting? It's very important for you to know whether he's in any true danger.

Dog owners everywhere like to take their dogs to the park to play. But is their behaviour best described as “play”? Scientists have used the word “play” to describe any behaviour that does not have any obvious purpose,

The natural world is filled with examples of such “purposeless activities” Bernd Heinrich and Rachel Smolker describe a common activity among ravens(乌鸦): snowboarding Ravens in Alaska and Northern Canada are known to slide down steep, snow-covered roofs. When they reach the bottom, they walk or fly back to the top. and repeat the process over and over again. In Maine, ravens were observed sliding down small hills of snow. “We see no obvious practical function for sliding behaviour,” they write. Anyone who has spent time in a school playground will recognize that ravens and children both like this type of sliding activity.

It is easy to see that play may sometimes have a purpose. Given that young animals borrow actions from fighting. hunting or other behaviors, play may serve as a form of practice. Play might help animals become more flexible and prepare better for their future life.

So next time you walk by a playground or a schoolyard, take a look around. The kinds of games that young children play may look like simpler forms of play seen in animals. Some children may remind you of the snowboarding raven, just trying to have a good time. Other games, though, might have a deeper purpose, helping children learn their place in the social world within which they live.

28. Scientists think that “play” refers to        .

A. the fighting between animals    B. walking dogs in the park

C. activities without obvious purpose   D. children's activities

29. The writer develops Paragraph 3 by        .

A. offering a reason       B. providing a way

C. giving an example      D. asking for advice

30. What does “snowboarding” mean in the third paragraph?

A Sliding down a bank of deep snow.   B. Hiding in the snow hole.

C. Flying to the top of snow-covered roofs.  D. Walking on the snow-covered ground,

31. Sometimes young animals play in order to         .

A get along well with others     B. learn some living skills

C. be the ruler of the animal world    D. practice sliding and running

D

第二节 书面表达

Dear Jack,

I'm glad to know that you're interested in Chinese culture, especially Tang poetry.

As you know, Tang poetry is a very important literary form which enjoys great popularity in China. It represents the traditional Chinese culture and is popular all over the world. The Tang Dynasty is the golden age of poems. There were many outstanding poets, among whom Li Bai, Du Fu, and Bai Juyi were the most well-known in history.

When it comes to appreciating poems, you'd better grasp the meaning firstly, and then try to recite the whole poem. If you choose the right method and work hard, you will soon be able to appreciate the beauty of Tang poetry.

Welcome to China and I'm looking forward to your view about Tang poetry.

Sincerely yours,

Li Hua
