Each city has its own unique cultural symbol,    1    (break) the similarity of cities. The    2    (significance) cultural symbols such as Beijing’s Forbidden City, Hangzhou’s West Lake and suzhou’s gardens have helped form strong cultural confidence.

Qinhuangdao is focusing on fashion tourism. A first-class international tourist city needs wold tourist attractions, and Qinhuangdao seems    3     ( have ) some ,The Great Wall is world-class, and so    4     (be) the Beidaihe wetlands.

Qinhuangdao has successfully transferred the world’s unique cultural symbol，The Classic ofMountains and Seas，into the city’s cultural    5    ( develop). Qinhuangdao is the only city in China    6    (name) after an emperor’s imperial name.The West Port of Qinhuangdao is near the legendary place where Qin Shi Huang    7    ( seek ) immortality(永生) into the sea. At the West Port cruise terminal, the 350-meter-long giant murall The Illustrations of Mountains and Seas reaches far away by the waves of the Bohai Sea. It is presenting the ancient wonder of the book which is rich    8    myths and legends to foreign visitors and sending Eastern culture and philosophical thoughts to a wider stage.

A distinctive and unique city cultural symbol can improve recognition and identity,    9     will help to enhance the city’s attractiveness. With a cultural symbol, there is cultural confidence,and it is    10    deepest power a city has.

The Badlands National Park, one of the most popular attractions in western South Dakota, contains one of the world’s richest fossil     1    (bed). Scientists believe that 33 million years ago, a watering hole was located in the Badlands and that a drought forced mammals to travel long distances     2    (detect) water. Ancient horses, turtles, and hornless rhinos once     3     (live) here. Nowadays, the park is mainly home    4     mammals like big horn sheep, antelopes, and deer,     5    wander the 244,000 acres of the park. The park is also a reintroduction site of the endangered black-footed ferret(雪貂), one of the world’s     6    (rare) mammals.

Visitors can enjoy hiking on eight routes from 400 meters to 160 kilometers long and     7    (camp) at Cedar Pass Campground with attractive scenic views. Badlands National Park has no formal reservation system, but visitors ought to obey some rules. Firstly, apply for     8     pass ahead of time. Maps are     9    (strong) recommended and are available for purchase in the Badlands bookstore. Besides, campfires     10    (ban) under any circumstances. Finally, remember to take away all garbage, including toilet paper, and all human waste must be buried in a small hole 6 inches deep and a minimum of 200 feet from any water source.

Many Chinese have learned the classic tale of The Foolish Old Man Removes the Mountains back in elementary school. In the story,     1     80-year-old man attempts to move two mountains standing     2     his way by himself. Failing to make much headway, he decides the job would fall on his children after him. But his perseverance impresses the gods who grant his wish.

One of the     3    (mountain) is Wangwu, located in Jiyuan, Henan Province. Wangwu Mountain, named a UNESCO world geological park in 2006,     4    (cover) an area of 270 square kilometres, with the peak at 1,715 metres, and has many Taoist temples.

“The Yugong (name of the man in the fable) spirit is     5     visitors look forward to here,” says Gu Luyu, a local tour guide. “People dressed in Red Army uniforms     6     (see) moving around earlier this month. They are from government offices and companies,” Gu says.

It takes about two hours to hike up to the peak from the foot. The peak is covered in mist in the mornings, especially on colder days. The cliffs and views below are magnificent,     7     (especial) when the mist clears. Visitors can also see monkeys near a temple at the mountaintop. They aren’t bothered by the     8     (present) of people.

“We will build a street     9     (feature) local folk culture,” Gu says of an ongoing construction project at the foothill of the mountain. The project includes setting up food and     10     (tradition) Chinese medicine stores along the street once completed.

In China’s northwestern Xinjiang, there are many different landscapes and remarkable views. Deep in its northern dense forest, there is an     1    (amazing) beautiful lake. The color of the lake changes     2     the season, light, and temperature difference between morning and evening.

The Kanas Lake, the second largest deep-water lake in China, has a water     3     (deep) of 190 meters. Perhaps it’s the fear of     4     lies below the surface that has stirred up legends of a lake monster.

Since the late 1980s, there     5     (be) numerous sightings of the creature in the lake. It is said that horses drinking by the lake were once     6    (force) into the water by the monster. Many tourists come all way to the Kanas Lake,     7     (hope) to catch a glimpse of the marine creature.

Most scientists believe the so-called water monster is freshwater salmon living deep below the surface, some of which can grow to nearly two meters long. They can be fierce and secretive,     8     they occasionally come out from the water and make waves. The warm and humid Atlantic air     9    (current) travel over 6,900 kilometers of land into the Altay Mountains, and bring more than 600 mm of rain every year, nurturing the most     10     (mystery) Siberian taiga forest in China. They grow and multiply by the Kanas Lake, carrying their life on from generation to generation.

Unlike fossil-fuel power plants, solar and wind power plants only generate electricity when the sun shines and the wind blows. Now the batteries     1     (need) to store power for the cloudy day arise. However, they are still not cheap enough or able to store power for long enough periods     2     (rely)heavily on. A breakthrough in battery technology is of great practical     3     (worthy)for solar and wind energy to become the main part of electric grids (电网). Geothermal (地热地) energy, however, does not require battery storage to ensure a reliable supply and     4     (have)enormous potential instead.

The U. S. leads the world in the process     5     the heat is mined from Earth’s crust (地壳) to produce electricity.     6     it accounts for only 0.4 percent of total U. S. electricity production, the technology could someday provide almost limitless amounts of power. Geothermal power plants situated near hot spots in Earth’s crust could get the intense heat and steam     7     drilling down 1 or 2 miles. The geothermal company Alta Rock Energy estimates that     8     (approximate) 0.1percent of the heat content of Earth could supply humanity’s total energy needs for 2 million years. “Jamie Beard, who runs the Geothermal Entrepreneurship Organization, ranked among the     9     (high)at the University of Texas at Austin, called     10     an “engineering problem that, when solved, solves energy.”

Gulangyu Island, off the coast of Xiamen, Fujian, was certificated a world heritage site by UNESCO. Every year,     1     (million) of Chinese people visit Gulangyu Island     2     (enjoy) its natural delights and the     3     (combine) of foreign and Chinese architecture.

The recognition of this beautiful and     4     (cultural) remarkable island is     5     honor. But the fact that it is a heritage site means much more than that. The word “heritage” refers to the     6     (value) things we inherit from the past. And there are over 1,000 UNESCO’s world heritage sites,     7     (make) a rich tapestry (织锦) of memories, both natural and man-made. Just     8     a time machine, they take us back to our ancestors and even earlier, enabling us to wonder at both the natural world and human history.

Gulangyu Island and every world heritage item are worthy of care and protection. Since they came into existence, they     9     (remind) us of our rich and various cultural significance, and the things that made us     10     we are.

Lying under waters across the globe are an estimated three million shipwrecks. All of them represent attempts over the centuries     1    （explore）Earth's furthest corners. Given our limited knowledge, it is perhaps no surprise that exploration of the oceans continues to lead to discoveries in various     2    （science）fields. Many archaeological finds     3    （make）in shallow waters near the coast. Amazing biological discoveries are also being made. These discoveries all help us understand     4     capacity for life on our planet, even in the most extreme circumstances.

Furthermore, the oceans are a valuable source of natural resources, some of     5     are completely new to us. The research     6    （conduct）by underwater vessels is giving scientists a greater understanding of how the sea bed was formed, as well as helping identify areas for deep-sea drilling,     7    （take）deep-sea exploration into a whole new era.

Being a tough environment of complete     8    （dark）, enormous pressure and intense cold, the ocean depths have long been beyond the reach of human exploration. Humankind     9    （enter）a new age of oceanic discovery, and the world beneath the waves may one day be almost as familiar     10     us as the land we walk upon today.

The most famous, most traveled to, and most popular city in all of Australia is the city of Sydney. Sydney sits on the shores of Sydney Harbour and is an     1     (excite) city that offers an incredible experience to those travelers who come     2     (it) way.

Sydney is also blessed with being very near to a number of natural areas in the surrounding region     3     are also popular with visitors from outside the country. It doesn’t matter where someone is from, but they have probably already seen     4     (photo) of the famous Sydney Opera House and Sydney Harbour Bridge. Both of those are worth visiting and are     5     (extreme) interesting, but Sydney is much more     6     that.

Sydney also offers attractions like Sydney Olympic Park, Sydney Tower, and Taronga Zoo. There are also a wide variety of fun things to do in and around the Sydney area. Swimming and spending time at the beach     7     (be) popular activities and there are plenty of inviting coastal areas to choose     8     both within and just outside of Sydney.

Sydney is also very bicycle friendly and it is possible     9     (rent) bicycles and ride them all about the city. So much can be done during a visit to this     10     (wonder) international city that it is nearly impossible to see it all in one trip.

Lijiang was made a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1997 for its historic town site, architecture and ancient water-supply system.

The Old Town of Lijiang,     1     (locate) in China’s Yunan province, is one of the last ancient towns that survive in China. Lying in     2     broad, fertile valley in the northwest of Yunan Province, Lijiang     3     (be) a commercial, cultural and political center of the Naxi (纳西族) people since Yuan Dynasty. Lijiang may leave an     4    (impress) on you for its beauty. The aging wooden buildings decorated with red lanterns and local musicians     5     (play) their old Naxi instruments in the time-worn streets show a lifestyle and culture that seem lost in time.

As UNESCO describes the village on its website, “The old Town of Lijiang,     6     is perfectly adapted to the uneven land form, has kept a historic townscape of high quality.” Its architecture is well known     7     combining the elements from several ancient cultures. Lijiang also possesses     8     we call the ancient water-supply system that still functions     9     (effective) today. However, with more and more tourists pouring in, it remains     10     (see) whether Lijiang can continue to keep its traditional lifestyle and culture.
