It is 10 in the morning, and I am travelling by raft down the Li River. The sun is already burning hot even though it has not yet reached full strength, but a calm breeze cools my skin. So far the day is wonderful, but the purpose of my trip is not just to have fun: I am following in the footsteps of Xu Xiake (1587-1641), the famous Chinese travel writer and geographer. Though Xu was from Jiangsu, he spent more than 30 years travelling throughout the country, and greatly admired my destination today — ox Gorge.

As we flow down the river, we are surrounded by steep hills sticking up into the sky-karsts. Karsts are rock formations made of limestone. They have been sculpted by water and millions of years of erosion into these beautiful natural sculptures. Guangxi is full of karsts, giving it some of the most interesting — and beautiful — scenery in the world. Xu was one of the first people to make a careful study of Guiln’s karsts and their related cave systems. He, like many people today, found them fascinating.

Suddenly, our raft hits some rapids, and I find myself covered in water. I turn to my raftsman and we share a laugh. The water not only keeps us cool, but it is all part of the adventure.

What made someone like Xu spend years traveling thousands of kilometres away from home? Perhaps it’s the same reason as mine: to explore the world and to discover new things. As Xu wrote, “A great man should in the morning be at the blue sea, and in the evening at Mount Cangwu. Why should I restrict myself to one corner of the world?

Xu was not alone. Much like today, the late Ming Dynasty was a golden age of tourism within China. People travelled hundreds of kilometres to visit temples, go mountain climbing, or explore scenery.

Yet, perhaps no one in China travelled farther or longer than Xu Xiake. At least, if anyone did they did not write about it.

【小题1】Why did the author decide to go to the Guilin?
A.Just to have fun and relax himself.
B.To explore the world and discover the new things.
C.To enjoy the scenery and recall a Chinese famous travel writer
D.To travel by raft down the Li River.
【小题2】What can we learn from the passage?
A.Xu Xiake admired the scenery of ox-Gorge but he had not been here.
B.Guilin’s karsts are formed by water’s erosion over the years.
C.The author felt frustrated while he fell into the water from the raft.
D.People in the Ming Dynasty enjoyed travelling around the country.
【小题3】What does the underlined words “restrict” mean in Paragraph 4?
A.Limit.B.Control.C.Improve.D.Behave.
【小题4】What kind of person might Xu Xiake be according to the author?
A.HardworkingB.AdventurousC.CourageousD.Ambitious.

Travelling is so popular around the world. However, due to the pandemic, we have to put off almost those plans for travelling. But we can make a detailed plan for our wonderful trip in the future in advance. Below is some of the most important information to keep in mind to ensure that you have a splendid trip.

Valencia

Valencia is in the east part of Spain. It has a port on the sea, two miles away on the coast. It is the capital of a province that is also named Valencia.

The city is a market center for what is produced by the land around the city. Most of the city’s money is made from farming. It is also a busy business city, with ships, railways, clothes and machine factories.

Valencia has an old part with white buildings, coloured roofs, and narrow streets. The modern part has long, wide streets and new buildings.Valencia is well known for its parks and gardens. It has many old churches and museums.

Tokyo

Tokyo may be one of those places that you love and hate at the same time. In Tokyo, there are always too many people in the places where I want to go. There are also too many cars. Tokyo drivers often spend a long time in the busy street, just like drivers in London, Paris and New York.

Tokyo also has a lot of people on foot, and sometimes it is really difficult to walk in the street. The worst time in the street is at 11:30 at night. That is because the nightclubs are closing at that time and everybody wants to go home then. There are 35,000 nightclubs in Tokyo, and usually none of them is empty at night.

Toronto

Toronto in Canada is one of those cities that people visit and then dream of living in. It’s large, but not too large; prosperous, but not expensive. But most importantly, Toronto is very open and tolerant. The city, the capital of Ontario, is one of the world’s most multicultural cities.

The fact that 140 languages are spoken in the city tells a story. What’s more, 12.5 percent of the city’s population is Chinese.

Toronto is a great place to explore if you want to get the most out of it. James mentioned the beaches, which are close to the city and have wonderfully clean sand and water. The good thing is that getting around in Toronto is easy, since it has a very good public transport system. It also has a reputation of being home to many talented computer geniuses. So, if you’re hoping to work in the technology industry, Toronto is a place to consider moving to.

When I revealed that 1 was planning to travel around Britain by public transport, everyone I saw said, 'Gosh, you're brave!' but it never occurred to me to go any other way. Driving in     Britain is such a dull experience these days. There are far too many cars on the road, nearly double what there were when I first came here, and in those days people didn't actually drive their cars. They just parked them in the driveway and cleaned them once every week or so.     About twice a year they would “get the car out” for a pleasant drive to visit relatives or take a trip.

Now everyone drives everywhere for everything, which I don't understand because there isn*t a single feature of driving in Britain that has even the tiniest measure of enjoyment in it. Just consider the average multi-storey(多层的)car park. You drive around for ages, and eventually find a space that is exactly two inches wider than average car. Then, because you are parked next to a pillar(柱子),you have to climb over the seats and end up squeezing out of the passenger door, in the process transferring all the dirt from the side of your car to the back of your smart new jacket. Then you go hunting for some distant pay-and-display machine, which doesn't give change.

And that's just one tiny part of the driving experience. There are all the other annoyances of motoring, like traffic lights on busy roundabouts(环形交通枢纽)that never let you advance more than 20 feet at a time, and motorway service areas where food is much more expensive. Motorized vehicles are ugly and dirty. They occupy every pavement, turn ancient market squares into disorderly and untidy groups of metal, and cause petrol stations and other discouraging places to appear in great number. They are horrible and awful and 1 wanted nothing to do with them on this trip.

【小题1】Why did the author decide to travel by public transport?
A.Because he didn't have a car.
B.Because he hated driving in Britain.
C.Because he wasn't familiar with roads in Britain.
D.Because he was inspired by how people used to travel.
【小题2】What did the author mainly complain about in Paragraph 2?
A.The inconvenience of parking cars.B.The unreasonable parking fees.
C.The uncleanness of car parks.D.The improper use of cars.
【小题3】How is the last paragraph developed?
A.By providing ex amples.B.By making comparisons.
C.By following the order of time.D.By following the order of space.
【小题4】What would the author probably talk about in the paragraph that follows?
A.The terrible places caused by vehicles.B.The bother caused by driving cars.
C.His travels by public transport.D.His past driving experience.

Spring is in the air, as is romance. Perhaps you're even thinking of taking the plunge and making a honey trip with your significant other?

Before you do, why not take a look at a list of the top three places in the world to propose (求婚)? With suggestions for traditionalists and private types, you just might find the perfect spot to pop the question.

New York

If you pay attention to romantic comedies, New York is the place for romance. Ever since the Dutch first entered this harbor in 1624 it has become a historic landmark and a must visit dreamland.

Every stretch of this island is packed full of fun that will keep everyone busy. Take a leaf out of sleepless in Seattle and head to the top of the Empire State Building at night, or how about run to your loved one on the streets of NYC this New Years even like in when harry Met Sally?

Paris

Sweeping views? Check. Grand old stately home? Check. Luxurious spots to propose? Check. Pack your passports and say goodbye to your daily routine life-it's less than three hours to Paris from London by Eurostar. Famous for its breathtaking architecture, and many cultural attractions, France's capital is a must-see destination. While we're not suggesting you climb the Eiffel Tower for the big moment. There's a reason why this is the city of love, if you keep your proposal original. So gentleman, take your lady to the Louvre, turn your back on the Mona Lisa and declare she is more beautiful than the famous work of art.

Las Vegas

Do you want to bundle the proposal and wedding all-in-one? Plead to. Las Vegas, get down on one knee, show your love and get married in less time than it takes to order 'honeymoon suit’ and if it doesn't work out. There's still plenty of entertain. Once the playground of the rich and famous, from Elvis Presley to Marilyn Monroe, Las Vegas now attracts millions of visitors by its bright lights and thrills each year. Whether you're to try your luck at the casinos (赌场), or watch a show, there's a wonder to explore in Las Vegas.
