During the weekend, parents and I paid a visit to Datong City by train. We arrive there at about 9 am. First we went to an ancient temple, in that we saw some impressive Budda statues. It is small but beautiful. So we stayed here for nearly two hours. Then we left for the temple to go downtown. You can’t imagine what crowded the street was! My parents bought some souvenirs in the local market. Meanwhile, I collected some postcard and funny toys. As we know, Datong is famous as its noodles, so we couldn't wait to taste some in a restaurant decorating traditionally. At 5 pm, we came back home happy.

8 . There are various reasons why people travel. Some tourists go to see battlefields or other historic remains. Others are looking for culture, or simply want to have their pictures taken in front of famous places. Most European tourists are looking for a sunny beach to lie on.

Northern Europeans are willing to pay a lot of money for the sun because they have so little of it. People of cities like London, Copenhagen and Amsterdam spend much of their winter in the dark because the days are so short, and much of the rest of the year in the rain. This is the reason why the Mediterrancan has always attracted them.

Every summer many people travel to Mediterranean resorts and beaches for their vacation. They all come for the same reason: sun! The huge crowds mean lots of money for the economics of Mediterranean countries. Italy’s 30,000 hotels are booked without a break every summer. And 13 million people camp on French beaches, parks and roadsides. About 37 million tourists visit there yearly, or one tourist for each person living in Spain.

But there are signs that the area is getting more tourism than it can deal with. The Mediterrancan is already one of the most polluted seas on earth. None of these, however, is ruining anyone’s fun. Obviously, they don’t go there for clean water. They allow traffic jams and seem to like crowded beaches. They don’t even mind the pollution. No matter how dirty the water is, the coastline still looks beautiful. And as long as the sun shines, ifs still better than sitting in the cold rain in Berlin, London, or Olso.

1. Europeans travel mostly for the reason that ___________.

A．they are interested in different cultural and social customs

B．they want to see some famous historic sites

C．they would1 like to take pictures in front of famous places

D．they wish to escape from the cold and darkness

2. The underlined part in paragraph 3, “one tourist for each person living in Spain” suggests________.

A．all the 37 million people living in Spain are tourists

B．there are a large number of tourists visiting Spain

C．every person living in Spain has to take care of a tourist

D．every family in Spain is visited by a tourist every year

3. According to the text, which of the following might ruin the tourists’ fun at Mediterranean resorts and beaches?

A．Polluted water.

B．Crowded buses.

C．Rainy weather.

D．Traffic jams.

4. What is the main idea of the text?

A．People travel for different reasons.	B．Travelling causes a lot of problems.
C．Northern Europeans travel for sun.	D．Europeans are fond of travelling.

9 . Tips on Learning a New Language Before Travelling

Whenever you travel to a foreign place, it is helpful knowing a bit of the local language.    1    But speaking the local language shows you care and it will help you mix with the locals easily. To learn a language, you do not have to take full time classes. You can follow some of the tips to pick up some basics quickly before that trip.

Practise. The more you study the language, the better.    2    Think of it like learning an instrument or training for a marathon. The amount of time you'll need depends on the language you're learning, how often you practice and your learning style.

    3    One good way to practise is to use the language you’re learning. And who is better to speak a language with than a native speaker who can train you better and correct your mistakes? Find one on the internet or in real life and strike a conversation with them. There are some free language exchange websites where you can find native speakers to practise with.    4    

Download a language app. Your app store offers a vast amount of options for language learning. Apps like Google Translate, Duolingo, Bilingual or Hi Native can help you to learn languages quickly.    5     But they are not necessarily the best choice if you're short on time and trying to master the basics. They can also help a lot when you're struggling to communicate while on vacation.

A．Speak to native speakers.

B．Constantly use the language.

C．You can also find a private class to attend.

D．Trips can help make the process fun and easy.

E．Learning a language doesn't happen overnight.

F．Those apps can help you learn the language effectively.

G．You may not know how to pronounce the words correctly.

10 . One of the most traditional British holidays is the seaside holiday. Typically, families travel to British seaside towns.

In the late 1970s, air travel became affordable for the average family, and more and more British people started travelling abroad for their summer holidays. After all, the British weather isn’t very good, even in summer.

In the 1980s and 1990s, British young people became wealthier. They started to go abroad in groups. Once at their destination they socialised with other young people and had one long party.

British holidaying habits have begun to change, however. The UK now has a warmer climate than before, so people don’t always feel they need to go overseas. Also, the world seems a less certain place as interconnected economies (经济) rise and fall, which means that the cost of foreign holidays is less predictable than before. The domestic (国内的) tourism industry — when people go on holiday in their own country — is healthier than it has been in decades. UK newspapers have even invented a new word: a “staycation”.

In some ways, therefore, the UK has come full circle. There is now an increased appreciation among Britons for the diversity of the UK. It is not just the geography, which ranges from the flat fens (沼泽) of East Anglia to the valleys of Wales to the mountains of Scotland, which is diverse. And it is not just the diversity of climate-based activities on offer, which range from surfing in the warm southwest of England, to hillwalking and skiing in the north, it is also the diversity of the cultures in the UK that is beginning to be of interest to domestic tourists. People forget sometimes that there are different accents, languages, traditions, cuisines and peoples across all the parts of the UK.

1. Why do more British people take their holidays in their own country?

A．The Internet makes them closer.

B．They are wealthier and more sociable.

C．The global climate is getting much warmer.

D．The expense on foreign holidays is unsteady.

2. What does the underlined word “staycation” in Paragraph 4 refer to?

A．A vacation spent at home.	B．A healthier style of living.
C．A new way to spend holiday.	D．A fashionable tourism industry.

3. Which is the best heading that matches Paragraph 5?

A．Flights of fancy.	B．Sun, sea and sand.
C．The length and width.	D．Footloose and fancy-free.

4. What’s the purpose of the author in writing the passage?

A．To prove the UK has diverse scenery.

B．To show the UK starts to discover itself.

C．To tell the development of the United Kingdom.

D．To explain why the British spend holidays inland.
