22、 Nicaragua is a land of opportunity for travelers. There are vast and varied activities one can have in this country.
Hike Up the Mombacho Volcano
This two-hour hike isn’t going to be an easy one, but it is a rewarding experience and will get your heart racing. You can look forward to beautiful views of several of the four craters, spotting wildlife, and enjoying the cooler temperature. In case of any encounter with some fierce creatures, it is recommended that you hire a tour guide at the welcome center who knows how to react at an emergency.
Horseback Riding in the Cloud Forests
Horseback riding in the lush Nicaraguan countryside isn’t something to miss. To prevent any danger a suspicious horse might bring, you have to book a packaged tour through a legal agency and then accompanied by a groom, you can enjoy a morning or afternoon exploring the backroads right outside the city of Granada. The best part of this experience is a visit to the Apoyo Lagoon, a nature reserve that originated about 23,000 years ago. With a beautiful lake, it is a welcomed respite after riding in the hot sun for hours. Be sure to pack a bathing suit.
Sunbathe in the Corn Islands
Not all activities have to be adrenaline-inducing. Take a break and enjoy the sunshine on the Corn Islands. The islands are about 43 miles off the coast of Nicaragua and consist of Big Corn Island and Little Corn Island. Sunny, with warm weather year round, these islands make for the perfect vacation. Visitors can enjoy lazy beach days by the crystal blue waters of the Caribbean Sea.
Volcano Board at Cerro Negro
For those who dare to try Volcano boarding there’s no better place than Cerro Negro. Cerro Negro is still an active volcano that last erupted in 1999 and is monitored closely by the Nicaraguan Seismic Network to prepare for the immediate evacuation in case of eruptions. When the volcano is behaving itself; it is the perfect playground for adventurers.
Whichever tour company you book, you will need to be prepared to carry your board. The summit, from which you will board down, is about 2,388 feet, a height ideal for the activity. After a quick compulsory tutorial of what to do, you will put on your “flight suit”, gird your loins, and descend down the volcano. The entire experience is about three to five minutes, depending on whether you stop or roll off your board.
【1】The underlined word evacuation is closest in meaning to ,
A.demonstration B.withdrawal C.punishment D.entertainment
【2】Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A.A tour guide is suggested for Mombacho hiking to strengthen wildness experience.
B.The experience at the Apoyo Lagoon reserve is as tiring as the horseback riding.
C.Cerro Negro is perfect for volcano board because it is still active.
D.Visitors must receive training before actually boarding from Cerro Negro peak.
【3】A person who likes taking charge of everything on his own in travel will most likely go to
A.the Mombacho Volcano
B.the Cloud Forests

23、The beloved and longtime host of Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood, Fred Rogers was born on march20, 1928, in Latrobe, Pennsylvania.
After graduating from Latrobe High school, Rogers was admitted to Dartmouth College, where he studied for a year before transferring(转学) to Rollins College in Winter Park, Florida. Rogers, who’d begun playing the piano at a young age, graduated with high honour in 1951 with a degree in music composition.
During his senior year of college he visited his parents and was amazed by the family’s newest household addition: a television set. He could see a bright future for the medium and, as he’d later remembered, Rogers immediately decided he wanted to be a part of it.
Rogers’ first job in television came in 1953 when he was employed to work in programming by WQED in Pittsburgh, a recently launched community TV station that was the first of its kind in the country.
In the following year, he was co-producing a new program, The Children’s Corner. This allowed Rogers, who’d fallen in love with puppetry(木偶戏) as a child, to introduce some of his favourite puppets from his home to his young audience.
As his experience grew, so did his aspirations(抱负). He earned his divinity(神学) degree in 1962. After that Presbyterian Church asked him to serve children and families through television. Rogers made his first appearance the following year as Mister Rogers on a Canadian Broadcast System show called Misterogers. The program helped lay the foundation in its look and approach for Rogers’ later show.
Canada, however, was not where Rogers or his wife, Joanne, whom he’d met at Rollins, wanted to raise their two young sons. Soon, the Rogers family was back in Pittsburgh, where Rogers launched Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood in 1996.
【1】What inspired Fred Rogers’ decision to enter a career in television?
A. His parents’ encouragement. B. His major at college.
C. A television set in his home. D. His deep love in music.
【2】Which one mainly influenced Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood?
A. Misterogers in Canada. B. The Children’s Corner
C. Rogers’ divinity degree. D. Rogers’ first job.
【3】Why did the couple move back to Pittsburgh?
A. Rogers planned to launch Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood there.
B. They thought Canada was unfit for bringing up their children.
C. They wanted to look after their parents back in America.
D. Presbyterian Church invited them back in America.
【4】What does the whole text mainly talk about?
A. Rogers’ interests in music and puppets.
B. Early education Fred Rogers received.
C. Fred Rogers’ family and his experiences.
D. Fred Rogers’ early life and early career.

26、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。
As I was driving to the airport last week the odometer(里程表) on my truck rotated to 100,000 kilometers. This led me to pause and think about selling the truck and buying a new one, but it also made me think about all the life I’d lived in this truck, and how my bulldog had accompanied me in it, leaving me hesitating about selling it.
When I returned to Canada after nine years overseas, what better way could I fit in with and immerse in rural culture than by buying a pickup?
The day I rolled out of the dealer(经销商) and hit the first gravel road(碎石马路) in my Toyota Tacoma was exciting, until I got very nervous as rocks hit my new purchase. But all that quickly evaporated when I received my first call through the truck’s Bluetooth phone. It was the doctor, to say that my Dad was hospitalized in a remote location. I immediately followed the truck’s GPS and got there quickly and safely. I was with Dad for his last two days. And so the first memories of my truck are images carved in my heart.
As the kilometers of my life rolled on, Lyon, my bulldog who came back to Canada with me from France, claimed the back seat as an area belonging only to her. It didn’t matter how short or long the trip was, she stared at me in the review mirror all the time. Most often, I would arrive at our destination and Lyon would stay in the back seat, bathed in the sun with the door open, knowing I would return. There was an overwhelming sense of comfort between us in that truck.
In the early days of truck ownership, I panicked at how dirty it became and any dent(凹痕) it put on. I soon realized, though, that it was part of the truck’s character. Now I look at every dent and recall the story or adventure that put them there. I began to see it as character-building, much like wrinkles appearing on my face. The truck was simply aging gracefully and began, like humans, to display its experience and wisdom.
Paragraph 1:
I don’t think a vehicle is just for travelling from place to place.
