4 . China is a big country, and there is no simple answer to the question “When is the best time to visit China? ” There are two best times to visit China, depending on your preference.

October

Things to do: hike on the Great Wall, photography tour

Places to visit: Beijing, Xi’an, Shanghai, Guilin,Jiuzhaigou, Chengdu

The best time to go to China is early autumn (October).

Most of China has warm temperatures, and the summer rains have stopped (apart from around HongKong and Sanya) so it’s pretty dry. The autumnn colours are also amazing. It is quiet at tourist attractions for most of the month, as the summer holiday travel crowds have gone. But try to avoid October 1 st -7 th, which is the Chinese National Day holiday, as attractions, transport and hotels are packed with Chinese tourists and prices go up a lot.

Late Spring (April to May)

Things to do: appreciate flowers, Li River cruise, ethnic festivals

Places to visit: Beijing, Xi’an, Guilin, Huangshan, GuiZhou, Zhangjiajie

The second-best time to travel to China is probably in April and May, when the flowers are in bloom and the temperatures are warming up. In late spring, temperatures across China are getting into the 20s (℃), except the extreme northwest and northeast. While the North of China is still dry, the summer rains have already begun in the South. This could actually improve the view in the form of mountain fog in mountainous areas like the Li River and the Yellow Mountains.

Ethnic festivals in GuiZhou are concentrated in April and May, such as the Sisters’ Meal Festival. If you are interested in Miao and Dong ethnic cultures, this is a good time to visit.

Travel prices are average: cheaper than June to October, but more expensive than the lower season from November to March.

1. Which time is best if you want to attend the ethnic festivals in GuiZhou?

A．April 25 th.

B．June 17 th.

C．October 1 st.

D．November 9 th.

2. Which are the best places to visit in both October and late spring?

A．Beijing and Zhangjiajie.	B．Shanghai and GuiZhou.
C．Xi’an and Guilin.	D．Huangshan and Jiuzhaigou.

3. Why is late spring the best time to visit Huangshan?

A．Because the summer rains haven’t come yet.

B．Because the wet weather adds to its beauty.

C．Because there are several special festivals there.

D．Because the prices are the lowest of the year.

5 . 阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的词（1个单词）或括号内单词的适当形式。将答案填写到答题卡的相应位置。

It was not until I came to Beijing that I had a taste of the saying “Even though the eyes of a stranger are big, they cannot see everything.”

A visit to the Great Wall showed me one of mankind’s    1    (astonish) achievements. Built by Emperor Qin Shihuang as a defence against the    2    (enemy) from the North, today, it is China’s symbol to the rest of the world. Climbing the Great Wall was coming face-to-face with history. In China,    3    is said that climbing the Great Wall is one of the    4    (big) accomplishments any Chinese jean make during their life time.

I was curious    5    (know) from my Chinese friend why this    6    (consider) an important milestone. The answer was in the famous words of the founder of modern China, Chairman Mao Zedong. “If you have never been    7    the Great Wall, you are not a true man.” It was then clear to me    8    this was the inspiration behind the eagerness for many Chinese to climb the wall. I saw senior citizens in    9    (they) 70s or 80s climbing a step at a time just to fulfill one last    10    (require) to be a true Chinese.

10 . You can love them or hate them, but no matter which tourist destination you visit, chances are you'll see someone with their head buried in a Lonely Planet guidebook.

Lonely Planet is one of the world’s largest travel guide brands, publishing more than 500 different guides in eight languages. The popular brand also produces television shows, websites and podcasts (播客) all devoted to travel.

Some people praise Lonely Planet books because they make traveling easy and affordable. They also save time and make sure you don’t miss the best things.

They also provide the reviews of hostels, hotels, restaurants and ticket information about your destination.

This can be great if you’re a nervous traveler, or if you haven’t traveled by yourself before. If you’re in a country where you don’t speak the language, sometimes there’s nothing better than getting into a taxi and opening up a guidebook. You simply point to a map that directs the taxi driver to a hostel that’s cheap and clean, with friendly staff and cold beer.

But others criticize Lonely Planet and other travel guide publishers like them. They say guidebooks take the fun and spontaneity (自发性) out of traveling, and that part of the enjoyment of travel comes from the fact that anything can happen. They also regret that if you follow a guidebook, you’ll end up doing the same thing and having the same experience as everyone else. You might end up seeing the same group of people over and over, because everyone is reading the same book and following the same route.

Another criticism of travel guides is that they have a large impact on local communities. For example, some locals devote their lives to behaving in ways that attract tourists. They pretend to live a traditional lifestyle, wear traditional clothes and live in traditional houses in order to attract the tourist dollar.

1. The Lonely Planet guidebook can bring you the following advantages EXCEPT that _____.

A．you can speak a foreign language when opening a guidebook

B．you can easily find a nice place to stay in a strange city

C．it provides lots of useful information about your destination

D．it can help you save time and money when traveling

2. People criticize the guidebook because ________.

A．it is not as useful as most travelers expect

B．tourist destinations will be crowded if everyone follows the same route

C．travelers may not get the chance to have unexpected adventures

D．local people keep modern lifestyles under its influence

3. What do we know about the Lonely Planet guidebook from the text?

A．It's a world-famous brand only producing guidebooks for travelers.

B．It's very useful to a person who's nervous about touring an unfamiliar place.

C．It's very useful to a tourist who likes to repeat others' experiences.

D．It is loved by all travelers because of the convenience it brings to travelers.
