1 . The spa town of Cheltenham sits on the edge of the Cotswolds, in the county of Gloucester. Below is a look at four fabulous attractions that make Cheltenham such a terrific place to visit.

Cheltenham Festival

The festival is an annual, four-day feast of racing and, on the last day, features the famous Cheltenham Gold Cup Steeplechase. It's a dramatic race of around 3 miles and 2.5 furlongs. and the horses have to clear 22 fences. Anything can happen. In 2020,this last day of the festival drew in a crowd of 68,859.

Pittville Park

If you visit Pitville Park, you'll find it divided into two main parts by the Evesham Road. The eastern side is home to the children's play area and is where people can view wildlife. Meanwhile, on the western side of the road, you'll find the larger area of the park and small areas of woodland. There's also a lower lake at which you can fish during fishing season. That's not the only activity, however. There's a skate park, tennis courts and a small children's play area.

Holst Birthplace Museum

Cheltenham was the birthplace of the 19"century English composer Gustav Holst, and visitors can visit the home in which he was born. You'll receive a taste of what Victorian life was like, as the home boasts a working Victorian kitchen, scullery, and nursery. The museum also allows you to discover the composer's life and times by allowing you into his music room. Here is where he composed The Planets.

Sudeley Castle

This private castle, which is surrounded by views of the Cotswolds, holds the claim to fame of being the only castle in England to have a queen buried in the grounds. The castle has witnessed all sorts of drama throughout its history and is one of the most interesting Tudor castles you'll ever visit.

4 . 阅读下列短文，根据短文内容填空。在未给提示词的空白处仅填写1个适当的单词，在给出提示词的空白处用括号内所给词的正确形式填空。

Keeping a travel journal is one of the best     1    (way) to keep the memory of a trip alive. Going back and reading your own words     2    (describe) a day in a foreign country makes you realize how easy it is to forget little details. For people who are not used to writing on a daily basis, keeping a travel journal doesn't have to be hard. It     3    (require) only a small effort. I usually spare 15 to 20 minutes at night before going to sleep,     4    forces me to be concise(简洁的） and efficient.

5 . My trip to Paris was so memorable. First of all, the hotel was fantastic. It overlooked the Seine, the famous river I     1     (read) about in so many poems. We listened to the laughter of the children and watched the river run by     2     (slow) below. Next, Montmartre was a wonderful place for painters. The air was filled with the sounds of happy people and the smell of paint.     3     I enjoyed most were the cafes. There I had a cup of coffee and watched people on the street. Everyone had a sense of style.

6 . My fifteen-year-old son has just returned from abroad with rolls of exposed film and a hundred dollars in uncashed traveler’s checks, and is asleep at the moment. His blue duffel bag lies on the floor where he dropped it. Obviously, he postponed as much sleep as he could: when he walked in and we hugged, his electrical system suddenly switched off, and he headed directly for the bed, where I imagine he beat his old record of sixteen hours.

It was his first trip overseas, so weeks before it, I pressed travel books on him, and a tape cassette of useful French phrases; drew up a list of people to visit; advised him on clothing and other things. At the luggage store where we went to buy him a suitcase, he headed for the duffels, saying that suitcases were more for old people.

During the trip, he called home three times: from London, Paris, and a village named Ullapool. Near Ullapool, he climbed a mountain in a rainstorm that almost blew him off. In the village, a man spoke to him in Gaelic, and, too polite to interrupt, my son listened to him for ten or fifteen minutes, trying to nod in the right places. The French he learned from the cassette didn’t hold water in Paris. The French he talked to shrugged and walked on.

When my son called, I sat down at the kitchen table and leaned forward and hung on every word. His voice came through clearly, though two of the calls were like ship-to-shore communication. When I interrupted him with a “Great!” or a “Really?”, I knocked a little hole in his communication. So I just sat and listened. I have never listened to a telephone so attentively and with so much pleasure. It was wonderful to hear news from him that was so new to me. In my book, he was the first man to land on the moon, and I knew that I had no advice to give him and that what I had already given was probably not much help.

The unused checks are certainly evidence of that. Youth travels light. No suitcase, not much luggage and a slim expense account, and yet he went to the scene, and came back safely. I sit here amazed. The night when your child returns with dust on his shoes from a country you’ve never seen is a night you would gladly turn into a week.

1. During the trip, the author’s son ______.

A．ran out of money	B．forgot to call his mother
C．had inadequate sleep	D．failed to take good pictures

2. Which of the following could best describe the author’s son?

A．Polite and careless.	B．Creative and stubborn.

A．It is important to listen to your child’s story.

B．It’s easy to interrupt the chat with your child.

C．The author is proud of her son landing on the moon.

D．The son no longer needs much help from his mother.

4. What can we infer from the passage?

A．Good parents should protect their children from potential dangers.

B．The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page.

C．It’s a win-win choice to give a child space to experience and explore.

D．Communication between parents and children is extremely important.

7 . The most frequent arguments for travel broadening the mind are that you get to communicate with many different _________, ways of life and new experiences. In general this should be the case._________, how much it broadens your mind depends as much on how you travel as where._________ you go to Thailand and spend most of your time in a hotel, what you’re seeing isn’t _________ Thai culture. But if you take time to _________ its temples or stay with a family and bury yourself in their _________, you might begin to get a good _________ of it. If you _________ anything out of your comfort zone, then you won’t make the most of your _________, wherever you go. Of course travel __________ the mind if you’re open to it and equip yourself with the knowledge you need for where you’re headed, and after all, expanding our horizons is __________ to our growth and progress as human beings.

We’re told that broadening the mind comes from challenging yourself, ________, learning and that this can in part be achieved by travelling. But is broadening the mind the only ________ reason for travelling? What if you ________ want to enjoy some much needed rest and ________?

How much distance you cover doesn’t show how adventurous you are. You can go halfway round the world, but if you just spend all your time __________ shopping malls, you can __________ experience the real workings of the culture you’ve landed in. It’s up to you whether or not you come back from another country with a __________ view on things. Travel doesn’t always broaden the mind. If you’re a narrow-minded bore at home, the __________ are that travel just makes you a narrow-minded bore __________ a plane ticket. And what if those who don’t or can’t travel? Are they forever to have an “unbroadened” view on life? I’m sure they would beg to differ.
