Australia was always a country I wanted to visit， so I saved up some money and booked a flight to go traveling up the east coast of Australia at the end of my work in London.

The flight made me realize exactly how far away Australia is from home. I spent 10 hours traveling on a plane from London to Hong Kong， then a further 8 hours to Sydney， my first stop in Australia. The flight went quite quickly though， since there were lots of films to watch to keep me amused. It was strange when I arrived because everything was upside down over there; it was the start of winter （in May）！ It also took me a while to get used to the time difference as I was always one day ahead of all my friends and family back home.

The country is truly beautiful， full of amazing views and wildlife you wouldn’t find anywhere else in the world. One of my experiences of my trip was seeing koalas closely in Brisbane—there were koalas everywhere sleeping in the trees and I even got the chance to hold one. There was also big grassland full of kangaroos that we were allowed to feed. They were really smart and very friendly.

The highlight of my trip was in the Great Barrier Reef， as the water was amazingly clear with a beautiful shade of blue. I also got the chance to see some special creatures underwater， such as sea turtles and even a shark.

Australia is an amazing country and worth visiting one day if you ever get the chance.

1. What did the author think of the journey on the plane？

A. Time-wasting.           B. Disappointing.          C. Dangerous.                 D. Pleasant.

2. How did the author feel when he reached Sydney？

A. Tired.                        B. Excited.                     C. Unfamiliar.                D. Upset.

3. What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about？

A. Unique wild animals living in Australia.        B. Beautiful natural landscape in Brisbane.

C. Wonderful experiences with wild animals.    D. Exciting sports during the trip in Australia.

4. What does the underlined word “snorkeling” in Paragraph 4 mean？

A. Fishing on the sea.                                           B. Swimming underwater.

C. Watching animal shows.                                 D. Feeding turtles and sharks.

Traveling to the great national parks in America is a great experience and it is a wonderful opportunity to see some of the great sights in the country.

Here are a few tips to help you plan and simplify your next trip to one of the national parks.

Those often have higher altitude or their certain access roads are closed due to snow during the winter. Be sure to research any seasonal closures （关闭） ahead of time， so that you don’t miss out on any part of the park you want to explore.

Travel can be fairly expensive， you can save money by camping， but you still have the cost of campsite fees， as well as， gas and supplies. You can often find discounts on lodging （住宿） if you travel earlier in the year， rather than during the peak season （旺季）.

If you would like to avoid the crowds and enjoy the beautiful scenery in the national parks in peace， you may want to consider visiting some of the lesser known， but equally amazing national parks found throughout the country.

The most important part of traveling is to have fun！ You will have even more fun if you find ways to make your travel simpler， so you don’t have anything to worry about during your trip.

A. They are likely to give you great pleasure.

B. Be sure to reach your destination before dark.

C. Visiting some of these parks takes a little planning.

D. Certain national parks get very crowded during the peak season.

E. While planning your travel， keep an eye out for early bird specials.

F. Many parks have areas that are closed during certain seasons， especially winter.

G. Make sure you find activities that you enjoy and explore the places that you want to see.

If you have lived in New York City for many years， like I have， the skyline becomes part of you and your daily life.

When I was invited to visit Summit One Vanderbilt， New York’s fourth-highest tower， I wasn’t expecting much. I felt like I’d seen it all and I thought that this observation deck （觀测台） would be another space for a view of the city， but nothing else.

Let me tell you something： I have never seen one like this before. It sits on top of a building on 42nd street， right next to Grand Central Station. Once you have to the top floor， you step into air， which makes you feel like being at 1，000 feet above ground level with its mirrored floors.

Once you make your way throughout the space， you feel like New York is part of a body， and your sense of space is challenged by the reflections of the light.

The reflections create endless possibilities for photos and videos， and the light changes throughout the day. I took out my camera and began to take photos， feeling a connection with the city that no other observatory has been able to give me.

Summit is something unique， an art work with architecture. It will be an observatory that will change with the city. I personally can’t wait to take photos at sunset or when winter arrives.

1. How did the author feel when invited to visit Summit One Vanderbilt？

A. Curious.                    B. Happy.                       C. Amazed.                     D. Uninterested.

2. What does the underlined word “ascended” in Paragraph 3 probably mean？

A. Risen.                        B. Turned.                      C. Referred.                    D. Adapted.

3. What can be learned about Summit One Vanderbilt？

A. It is the highest in New York.                         B. It lies far from Grand Central Station.

C. It is a good place for taking photos.                D. It is 1，000 feet high.

4. What’s the purpose of the text？

A. To stress a point.                                             B. To introduce a site.

C. To raise awareness.                                          D. To encourage tourism.

When Amanda Lemay heard the story about a baker and her husband who were traveling around the United States in a van （廂式货车）， learning from expert bakers， she wanted to do something similar. So she got rid of most of her possessions and made an old ambulance with her dad into a lovely home on wheels.

Lemay’s ambulance is actually a former emergency response vehicle for the US Navy： built on a 2006 Ford E350 Cutaway. Renovations （翻新） were done by her and her dad. Now the dark blue vehicle has a lot of built-in cabinets on all sides， offering a lot of storage space. The inside is tastefully done to suit Lemay’s work and hobbies.

As Lemay mentions， not only did her father help， but also the rest of her family. Lemay’s mother helped sew the decorations on the removable cushions， and her sister crafted the leather pulls. It was truly a family affair （事务）.

Her current nomadic （流浪式的） lifestyle fits well with her work doing audio books， voiceovers， and publishing work. In the end， this unexpected path has Lemay rethinking what it means to be truly sustainable， now that van life has gotten her to become minutely aware of the water， electricity and other daily resources that she uses. But all these day-to-day concerns are balanced with a greater sense of freedom.

“It’s almost mind-blowing， it feels like a completely different life because I’m doing the work online， and I can do things on my own schedule. I can be where I want to be， and do the things I want to do， and spend time outside.”

5. Why is the story of a baker and her husband mentioned in Paragraph 1？

A. It shows a creative way of learning.                B. It’s an example of strong determination.

C. It was spoken highly of by Lemay.                 D. It’s where Lemay got her inspiration.

6. Why was the renovation said to be a family affair？

A. All the family members worked on it.            B. Its cost was shared by the family members.

C. It was made to suit the life of the family.       D. The whole family gathered to celebrate it.

7. What has Lemay learned from her nomadic lifestyle？

A. To value every minute of her life.                  B. To make full use of what she has.

C. To keep a balance between work and life.      D. To be aware of the real meaning of family.

8. What does Lemay like about living in a van？

A. Reflecting on life.                                            B. Living on her own schedule.

C. Forgetting all about work.                               D. Being free from day-to-day worries.

Hi Dale，

I have been on a trip in Kunming with my parents these days. Kunming， which is located in the southwest of China， is the capital city of Yunnan Province. One great thing about Kunming is the nice weather. The temperature here is almost the same all year round. Yesterday we visited Dianchi. After we arrived there， we were deeply attracted by the beautiful landscape. We also went to the Green Lake Park and took many photos there. When it comes to delicious local food， what impressed me most was the crossing-the-bridge rice noodles. It’s the most delicious noodles I’ve ever eaten.

Bye for now. Hope to hear from you soon.
