21、The Four Best Places to Go in Europe for Spring Break
Cheaper flights, lower room rates, fewer tourists, and tons of seasonal activities make this the suitable time to take a real-life Euro-trip.
Budapest, Hungary
For a spa-centric (水疗中心) holiday, consider Budapest. This incredible beauty destination boasts 118 thermal springs — more than any other capital — and a variety of choices of places to “take the waters”, from traditional Turkish baths and Neo-Baroque pools to Art Nouveau spas and modern facilities. Bonus: Hungarians claim these mineral-rich waters are of beneficial cure for skin.
Florence, Italy
The “Cradle of the Renaissance(文艺复兴的摇篮)”, is steeped in classical art and architecture. The Uffizi Gallery displays such masterpieces as “The Birth of Venus” by Sandro Botticelli. Florence is the center of Tuscan cuisine. Its narrow streets and piazzas are decked with alfresco cafés, trattorias, and gelato shops.
Santorini, Greece
Most people think of Santorini as a summer hot spot, but spring bookings are up 94 percent, according to American Express Travel. While it might not be beach weather, there are plenty of benefits to visiting this peaceful and beautiful island during off-peak season. And fewer crowds mean you won’t have to compete with tons of tourists for a front-row seat to the breathtaking sunsets.
Stockholm, Sweden
After the long and harsh winter, spring refreshes Sweden’s capital.(Keep in mind it can still be quite chilly through early May, so pack layers.)Visitors pack into the stylish shops, and art galleries. Plus, warmer weather is ideal for exploring the various events and festivals that take place this time of year. And, of course, no trip would be complete without checking out the Nacka Fountain, among the most awe- inspiring water sculptures in the world.
【1】What probably attracts the tourists most in Budapest?
A.The incredible beautiful scenery. B.The various thermal springs.
C.The modern facilities. D.The Hungarian bonus .
【2】Where can you enjoy both the great classical art and food?
A.Budapest, Hungary. B.Santorini, Greece.
C.Florence, Italy. D.Stockholm, Sweden.
【3】What is a must for tourists to Stockholm?
A.Wearing light clothes. B.Packing into the stylish shops.
C.Exploring various events and festivals. D.Admiring the Nacka Fountain.
22、 The British poet John Donne once said: “No man is an island; every book is a world.” As an enthusiastic reader, I can’t agree with the latter part of the sentence more. Every summer, I endeavor to find some peaceful places where I can attack some classics without being disturbed. Thomas Hardy wants to live far from the crazy crowd. I am no friend to chaos, either.
I read George Orwell’s 1984 in a New England beachside cottage with no locks on the doors, no telephones or televisions in the rooms. 1984 is a good book that needs deep reflection. Attempting The Sound and the Fury lying on the bed of a poorly-occupied motel, however, was less fruitful: I made it through one and a quarter volumes, but then my eyelids were so heavy that I couldn’t keep my eyes open.
But this summer I find myself at a loss. I’m not quite interested in J. D. Salinger, say, or Frankenstein. There’s always War and Peace which I’ve covered some distance several times, only to get bogged down in the “War” part, set it aside for a while, and realize that I have to start over from the beginning again, having forgotten everyone’s name and social rank. How appealing to simply fall back on a favorite — once more into The Call of the Wild or Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, which feels almost like cheating, too exciting and too much fun to belong to serious literature.
And then there’s John Steinbeck’s The Grapes of Wrath (愤怒). This title does not amaze but confuse. We’re never short of sour grapes, but we’ve never heard of angry grapes. Anyway grapes are my favorite fruit in summer. These stone fruits can always make me feel cheerful and peaceful all at once.
【1】What can we infer from Paragraph 2?
A.The author has a cottage in New England.
B.Both of the reading attempts were fruitful.
C.1984 is a book that needs careful thought.
D.The Sound and the Fury was set in a poorly-occupied hotel.
【2】What does the underlined phrase“get bogged down”in paragraph 3 refer to?
A.Get confused. B.Be carried away.
C.Be disturbed. D.Make no progress.
【3】Why does the author say reading his favorite books feels like cheating?
A.He finishes them quickly. B.He hardly understands them.
C.He should read something serious. D.He gets amazed by their titles.
【4】What’s the author’s purpose in writing the passage?
A.To share his reading experience. B.To encourage readers to read books.
C.To introduce good books to readers. D.To condemn(谴责)the chaotic world we live in.
23、Although problems are a part of our lives, it certainly doesn't mean that we let them rule our lives forever. One day or the other, you'll have to stand up and say—problems, I don't want you in my life.
【1】 Problems with friends, parents, girlfriends, husbands, and children—the list goes on. Apart from these, the inner conflicts within ourselves work, too. These keep adding to our problems. Problems come in different shapes and colors and feelings.
But the good news is that all problems can be dealt with. Now read on to know how to solve your problems.
Talking really helps. What most of us think is that our problems can be understood only by us and that no talking is going to help. 【2】 Talking helps you move on and let go.
Write your problems. 【3】 When you write down your problems, you are setting free all the tension from your system. You can try throwing away the paper on which you wrote your problems. By doing this, imagine yourself throwing away the problems from your life.
Don't lose faith and hope. No matter what you lose in life, don't lose faith and hope. Even if you lose all your money, family..., you should still have faith. 【4】
Your problems aren't the worst. No matter what problem you get in life, there are another one million people whose problems are huger than yours. 【5】 Your problems might just seem big and bad, but in reality they can be removed.
Go about and solve your problems because every problem, however big or small, always has a way out.
A.Tell yourself: when they can deal with them, why can't I?
B.With faith and hope, you can rebuild everything that you lose.
C.Of course, we've been fighting problems ever since we were born.
D.We can often overcome the problem and achieve the goal by making a direct attack.
E.Having a personal diary can also be of huge help if you don't want a real person to talk with.
F.When we have a problem, a pressing, critical, urgent, life-threatening problem, how do we try and solve it?
G.But the truth is that when you talk about them, you're setting free the negative energy that has been gathering within you.
24、Traveling abroad is a fun and eye-opening experience, but it can also be very discouraging and frustrating when you’re not well-prepared. If you’re traveling for the first time, 【1】 .
Ignore anyone that tells you that you have to learn an entirely new language just to travel. 【2】 People can communicate without having any knowledge of the language at all. With that said, the less you know, the more confident you will be when trying to communicate through body language and gestures. Of course, it’s much better if you can learn a few basic words and phrases to help you get around a little more easily.
To avoid data charges from your wireless carrier, download all your travel apps before you leave and ensure that any apps you choose can be accessed offline. For example, it is advisable to download a map app ahead of time. 【3】
When traveling abroad for the first time, it’s necessary to save a few numbers on your phone so that you have an easier time digging yourself out of hole. One of the most important numbers is the number of the local authorities. 【4】
For first-time travelers, one of the most important rules to follow is not to stand out. The more you stand out, the easier it’ll be for people to target you for scams. Even if you plan to travel for cheap, you should always avoid anything that sounds or looks too good to be true. 【5】 But if you focus on trying to blend in and do as the locals do, you can avoid any unwanted interaction.
Traveling abroad is definitely one of the best ways to get out of your comfort zone and try something exciting and new.
A.It’s complete meaningless.
B.It will help you plan your trip and navigate while you’re there.
C.It’s easy to paint a target on your back when you’re a tourist.
D.follow these traveling rules above to ensure your first trip abroad more smoothly.
E.here are some unspoken rules to help you avoid trouble and enjoy your vacation.
F.This generally gives you access to the police, firefighters and healthcare services.
G.Don’t paint a target on your back as a tourist and you’ll avoid a lot of trouble.
