3 . "Do you know Macao is not my real name? I have been away from you for too long, Mother…" It's a moving song that every Chinese knows. It     1    （表达）how the people long for the return to the motherland.

Since 1999, Macao has already been with her motherland for 22 years. Within this 22-year     2    （一段时间；时期）, the great achievements in Macao were     3    （表扬，赞扬）by both people in Macao and the whole world. Several students from Macao who are     4    （接受，收到）higher education in Beijing, share their memories, experiences and feelings.

"In high school, I got a     5    （机会）to study Chinese at a mainland college. I felt rich Chinese culture and history. So I made up my mind to go to college in Beijing after the trip," Wong Cheok, a student at     6    （首都）Normal University in Beijing,     7    （回忆起）.

"New shopping malls have been completed in the     8    （中心的；中央的）places one after another. We have 15 years of free education. Our     9    （医疗的）care is free to all,” said Lam.

"There's no doubt that the development of today's Macao could not be possible without the country's support. So I always take pride in being a part of China's Macao. I expect that Macao could achieve better and more peaceful development in the future," Ben said     10     （自豪地；骄傲地）.

4 . Bangkok, the capital of Thailand, is a city full of special sights. The tall glass shopping centres in the city look very modern. But     1     ( 在……后面) them are places where life hasn't changed for over 100 years- the canals (运河)，which were     2    (建造) many years ago. These canals are home to many Thai people who     3    (从不) leave there.

There are four markets on the canals around Bangkok, and the     4    (最古老的) and most popular one is in the town of Damonen Saduak. This market     5    (开) early every morning. People get there     6    (早地) by water taxi.

It's a noisy but wonderful place. Ladies sit in small boats, filled with     7    (新鲜的) fruit and vegetables for sale. But the boats don't just sell food. Would you like a silk     8    (领带)?A traditional hat? Then just call and     9     (指) at them.

After the noise and excitement of the market, continue along the canal, soon you'll see many wooden houses, colourful flowers and hear lovely     10    (鸟) singing in the fruit trees. It's a peaceful way to finish your trip.

5 . Notre Dame Cathedral(巴黎圣母院) is famous in the world. It’s in the     1    （小说）which has the same name. Victor Hugo wrote it in the 1830s. And it is     2    （翻译）into many different languages. Therefore, when the bad news about it came in April, everyone kept     3    （沉默的，不说话的）because they were really shocked. “Everything is burning. Nothing will be left from the fire.” Diana from Paris cried sadly on her Twitter.

Built from the best     4    （材料，原料）in the 12^th and 13^th centuries, the cathedral is one of the greatest sights.     5    （当地的，本地的）people feel good about living near the Cathedral and they take     6    （自豪，骄傲） in it. About 13 million visitors come to     7    （欣赏，仰慕）it each year, more than the Eiffel Tower. Visitors prefer to walk along the banks of the Seine in the     8    （中心的，中央的）part of the capital without feeling their sadness or trouble in life.

Although there may be different voices around the world, old buildings with     9    （历史的）value belong to humankind as a whole. Wherever culture relics(文化遗产) suffer from fire—in     10    (法国), China or any other land—it’s a loss to everyone.

Last year I went on an amazing trip by boat along the west coast of Canada. It was my brother Harry’s idea. He’s a     1    (记者）who’s also a great fan of boats. But I’d dreamed of visiting the area. So I kept asking Harry if I could go, too,     2    (直到)he agreed at last!

A few weeks before we left home, there was much     3    (雨）in the area we were going to. But luckily the weather was OK at last. However, I was     4    (忙碌的）at work so I didn’t think about what needed doing. But Harry promised he’d take care of everything, so I knew everything would be all right.

After arriving in Canada, we packed our     5     (工具)into small boats and set off.

Since very few people now lived along that coast, the only other living animals we saw for the first few days were dolphins and birds.

We often stopped for hours to explore the     6    (岩石）pools on the beaches. And we never     7     (忘记)lunch or dinner, though, which we all made together over camp fires.

When we     8     (最后)fell sleep on the boats each evening, even though the beds were hard, it really felt like stress-free living!

When the time came to leave, I was sad. How could I return to     9    （正常的)life again? But I knew if I stayed, I would     10    （想念)my family and friends. I was also looking forward to telling everyone at home about our experiences.

The Great Barrier Reef is important to Australian people. It's an amazing     1     (奇观) in the world. That's why people are really interested to visit it.

The Aboriginal people were the first pioneers to take a(an)     2     (冒险) in the area. They are considered the traditional owners of the Great Barrier Reef and have lived there for     3     (千)of years. Today, the Aboriginal people mainly go fishing for business. In order to     4     (保护) the reef against overfishing, people built the Great Barrier Marine Park. The park     5     (分开) into different parts. Different activities are allowed in different areas.

If you want to travel     6     (到国外), the Great Barrier Reef is good choice. You can go surfing in the sea or take an airplane to see the     7     (整个的) area from above. The best time to visit it is from May to     8    (九月 ) . It is neither too hot nor too cold during this period of the year, and the air is always     9     (新鲜的) . Every year, millions of people from European and     10     (亚洲的) countries visit it. It’s a magic land on Earth.

8 . Trip to New York

Did you take a trip to New York? Yes, I did. In fact, I    1    (live) in the city for one year. It is a busy city with many tall buildings and all kinds of people from different countries. There are many famous places     2     (visit), like Broadway, Central Park and Times Square. The Metropolitan Museum of Art is also a world-famous place. I    3     (like) collections of ancient works of art so I often    4    (visit) it. There you can also    5    (see)some Chinese ancient paintings. Sometimes I    6    (go) shopping on New York’s Fifth Avenue. I    7     (buy) many nice things there. Besides, it    8    (be) wonderful to look at the Statue of Liberty in New York Harbor.

There is a movie about New York. Its name is The Day After Tomorrow. I like it very much, but I    9     (not like) the ending! If things are like what the ending of the movie    10    (play), it will truly be a bad dream.

9 . Last winter holiday, I visited a village with only 11 houses.     1     the village was very small, I spent a whole day in it.

The village became popular because     2     Grandpa Huang's hard work. He bought a house there over 30 years     3    , but in 2010 the village was to be pulled down. In order to save the old village, Grandpa Huang painted on the walls of     4     own house and other houses. He painted things that he liked. In the village, there were many paintings of     5    , such as cats and birds. The most popular paintings for visitors were   of famous people. One of them was a picture of Andy. He is my     6     singer. I liked him so much that I asked a visitor to     7     a photo of that painting and me. On the ground of the village, Grandpa Huang has painted     8     lot of well-known Chinese sayings. From them, Grandpa Huang learned to live a long and happy     9    .

I really had a good time in the village     10     wished to visit it again.

10 . I come from Guilin. It is my hometown.It’s a beautiful c    1    of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. The p    2    of Guilin is about 4,760,000.The climate (气候) there is very great. The old like to live there.   Guilin has a l    3    history.   It is a good   place to
