1 . "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）.

2 . A small city but with a long history—that’s how I feel about this city during the journey to it. You can say that Macau     1     （自身） has come out as the biggest winner from its casino-dominated city（博彩之城）. As of 2019, Macau is the second richest area on the earth. Also, a     2     （人口） of 648, 500 within 30.5 square kilometers makes it the most     3     （拥挤） city in the world. The city is     4     （尤其） famous for its legal gaming. That’s why the local     5     （政府） can pay its citizens plenty of money every year. While walking around, you will soon find the     6    （标志） of the city—the Morpheus Hotel, which     7     （描述） great changes in modern buildings over years. Macau is one of the only cities in the world where you won’t     8    （错过） the chance of trying Macaunese Cuisine. In fact, it’s the     9     （家乡） to mixed food cultures. However, some     10     （情况） is getting more serious, like the damage of ancient interests. Best wishes to it!

3 . Which     1    (中国的) city is the most beautiful? I think it is Hangzhou for     2    (肯定). People call the city “Heaven on the Earth”(人间天堂). On     3    (星期天), people go to the West Lake for a trip. In     4    (十月), you can see osmanthus(桂花) near the lake. Some people like     5    (读) books there. The West Lake     6    (看上去) nice at that time. There are free bikes     7    (到处) in Hangzhou.

You can drink a cup of Longjing tea in Hangzhou. It has about 1000 years of tea     8    (历史). It is great and     9    (健康的). Hangzhou has much beautiful music and it has a music festival every year. It’s so     10    (轻松的). Do you think Hangzhou is a beautiful city with great fun?

4 . Canberra is     1     capital of Australia. It is a modern and lively city with a population     2     403, 468.

History   Canberra is the eighth largest city in Australia. It is, about 238 km from Sydney and 507 km from Melbourne. Sydney is     3     (big) than Canberra. People in Sydney wished to make their city the capital. It was difficult for the government     4     (make) the decision. Then the government chose a place to build the new capital. It was between Sydney     5     Melbourne, the two largest cities. In 1927, the city was set up. It became the capital and was named Canberra. “Canberra”     6     (mean) “a place to get together”.

Culture   Canberra is a beautiful city     7     trees and flowers everywhere. There’s a Flower Festival in September each year. People can enjoy all     8     (kind) of beautiful flowers and welcome the spring to arrive. The man-made Lake Burley Griffin is in the centre of the city, It’s about 11 km long. People like to ride bikes, walk or run around the lake. In Canberra, there’re many famous     9     (university) like the Australian National University and the University of Canberra. The National library and the National Museum of Australia are also famous     10     (place) that people like to visit.

5 . The Lost and Found Office in New York City

Welcome to the New York City Lost and Found Office. People lose     1     (thing) when they are coming here and going there. They leave（落下） things everywhere— in planes,     2     buses and trains. That’s     3     there are lost and found offices in many places.

The New York City Lost and Found Office is very busy. Many people come here every day. They want     4     (find) their phones, watches, computers and many other things. We usually have about 2,000 phones and 1,000     5     (watch)!

Now there     6     (be) also some funny（有趣的） things at the New York City Lost and Found Office. There are about 100 bikes and a car. Thẹre are many animals,     7    . This week, there are three dogs, two cats     8     a pig!

Whose（谁的） are they? Are they     9     (you)? Please come and see for yourself.     10     (This) animals are waiting for you!

6 . Dear Simon,

I’m writing this from London. We arrived in London on Tuesday, after s    1     in Madrid and Paris. London is one of the most interesting cities in Europe, but it’s also one of the most expensive p    2     to stay. It’s bigger than Paris and older than Sydney. You know I love history, and there are lots of great museums here — in

f    3    , I think the British Museum is probably the best museum in the world. The people in Madrid were quite friendly. They were f    4     than London people, but it was more difficult to c    5    with them because I didn’t know their language. Paris was f    6    , of course, and I ate the most delicious food of my life in some of the Paris restaurants.

My aunt says that British food is better than French food, b    7     she’s wrong about that! Tonight my aunt and uncle will take me to a show. It’s a musical (音乐剧) c    8     The Phantom of the Opera. They say that it is the most w    9     show in London. Of course I think it would be more exciting to see a pop concert (流行音乐会). However, that would be the worst t    10     in the world for my uncle and aunt.

We will fly home to Sydney in five days. See you then!

Yours,

Sheila

7 . Nanjing is in the south of China; it is the capital of Jiangsu Province. In the p    1    , Nanjing wasn't a comfortable place. It used to have narrow roads, low buildings and small markets. But during the recent years, it has c    2     a lot. People there are walking on the w    3     roads and living in tall buildings.

In the past, it might usually take us more than an hour to get to school from home because there were f    4     buses than today and they were so s    5    . And the stations were very small. We had to w    6     there a long time for the buses. Nowadays, there are many different bus routes for us to choose. If you are in a hurry, you can also take the t    7    . It is much faster and more c    8     than taking the bus because you can always have a seat. Now, some people are used to taking the u    9    . It's much convenient because it always comes on time. But it's a little more e    10     than the bus.

8 . As far as I know, China, with 9,600,000 square kilometers, has the largest population in A    1     (亚洲). The eastern part faces the Pacific Ocean. It has many endangered animals. The list i    2     (包括) the huge whales living deep in the sea, the “ships of the desert”—camels and so on. China is also pandas′ birthplace. According to panda keepers′ r    3     (调查), an adult panda can weigh 100 kilos or so and eat about 10 kilos of bamboo a day. To p    4     (保护) the wild animals, our government has built many nature reserves. 

The excitement of touring attracts many foreign t    5     (旅行者) to visit China every year. Feel free to have a tour, and you′ll find many famous places, such as the Great Wall, the longest man–made wall in the world. It′s more than 6,000 kilometers long and w    6     (宽的) enough at the top for five horses or ten men to walk side by side. It′s very steep and amazing. Be careful not to fall over on the Great Wall. 

The Himalayas are amazing. They run along the s    7     (西南的) part. Qomolangma is the highest in the world, which is up to 8,844.43 meters high. T    8     (厚的) snow covers the top all year round. Many climbers want to challenge themselves in the face of difficulties, even though it′s hard to take in air near the top in the freezing weather conditions. Some have s    9     (成功) and achieved their dreams. Climbing Qomolangma is a great a    10     (成就) for them.

9 . I love traveling, nature and animals. I have been to many t    1     (主题) museums, such as the National Science Museum, the International Museum of Toilets and the Hangzhou National Tea Museum in Zhejiang Province. In the National Science Museum, I learned about many i    2     (发明) and knew who invented them. It's unbelievable that technology has made such rapid progress. It e    3     (鼓励) me to study harder. In the Hangzhou National Tea Museum, I watched an u    4     (不同寻常的) tea art performance and learned how to make a perfect cup of tea with beautiful tea sets. I have learned many s    5     (社会的) customs from the performance. 

This spring, I visited an amusement park with a couple of friends in Singapore. We saw t    6     (千) of foreigners, such as Germans, Indians and Japanese. We took some photos with my c    7     (照相机). 

Singapore itself is a p    8     (安宁的) and safe place to have fun. It's m    9     (主要地) near the equator. This is a good location for traveling. You can go there whenever you like. The temperature there is almost the same all year round. On the one hand, don't fear whether you can speak English or not. You can s    10     (只) speak Chinese there. On the other hand, it's also a good place to practice your English.

10 . The students at the American International School were excited. They worked hard to raise money for a trip. They washed cars, sold magazines and     1     (collect) bottles. Finally, they f    2     to Cairo to visit the pyramids of Egypt (埃及金字塔)!

The students studied the pyramids in school before the trip. They learned about the Pharaohs, the rulers of ancient Egypt. They also learned that the Egyptians considered the Pharaohs to be living gods, and that the pyramids were built     3     tombs (陵墓) of the Pharaohs.

On     4     first day of the trip, the students went to the Great Pyramid at Giza. It was built for the Pharaoh Khufu around 2,560 BC. It's the     5     (tall) pyramid in the world. At first, it was about 146 meters high. Now it is about 136 meters high. The students measured (测量) all four sides of the Great Pyramid at Giza.

No one knows     6     the ancient Egyptians built these huge things. Scientists believe Egyptians didn't invent the wheel at that time. They     7     /ɡes/ people moved the stones very slowly. Thousands of Egyptians worked for many years on each pyramid.

When the students returned home, they prepared     8     (speech) and invited the community. Everyone was     9     (shock) by how much the students learned.
