3 . 阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（不多于1个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。

Wuzhen is a typical ancient town in southern China.     1     (lie) in the northern part of Tongxiang City, Zhejiang Province, it can be easily accessed (到达) through a number of expressways. On a recent business trip to Shanghai, a local friend     2     (invite) me to Wuzhen.

It was 9: 00 am when we arrived there. With its houses made     3     black bricks and gray tiles (瓦) against the white walls, the small town is like a     4     (tradition) Chinese ink and wash painting. Wandering along the riverside, you will be     5     (deep) impressed by the great view and slow lifestyle. At lunchtime, I     6     (treat) to the steamed white fish, a well-known dish served at most     7     (restaurant) in Wuzhen. It tasted so good. But I think it is the mix of culture and food that makes it so outstanding. After lunch, we continued our walk, enjoying the sights and learning about its history, a history     8     is full of good stories and unique characters.

It's really fortunate for anybody     9     (explore) such a beautiful place. We hope there will be     10     second chance to visit this wonderful town!

4 . An enjoyable trip
On October 28th, we began our exciting trip to the world-famous sand island—Fraser Island, which is said to be the world largest sand island and it is one of the world cultural heritages (遗产). We were really amazed by the spectacular view there.
The road to the island is really tough and bumpy. The bus driver, who was also our guide was a very strong man. He was optimistic (乐观的) and helpful. I found he was all smiling on the way though the ride was not very smooth. We stopped for several times because the cars in front of us were blocked by sand. The road was completely sand about 50 centimeters high. We were thrown back and forth like taking a rollercoaster (过山车). All of us couldn’t help laughing when we were shaken from side to side. It took us more than an hour to arrive there. I guess this road is one of the most impressive things.
The beach is so wonderful and terrific! This was my first visit to the seaside. The broad sea made me speechless. We were really thrilled by the amazing view. We couldn’t stop taking so many pictures. The bus ran along the beach with the sea water on one side and bushes on the other side. The view outside the bus was really fantastic! The driver told us there were dingoes (野犬) in the bush. When we were sitting on the bus, we kept on searching the faraway bush for a dingo. Unfortunately, we didn’t see one.
The lake is the next destination we went to. This lake which is ringed by white sand beaches lies peacefully on the hill, which is 18 meters above the sea level. The crystal clear water from the rainfall is sparkling (闪光). Male students jumped into the lake without taking off the clothes. They played with water like small children. Nowhere else in the world can you find such a wonderful fairly land.
The forest is the last place we visited. Those towering rainforests grow on sands. There are many varieties of species. Some trees are so tall and have a history of 500 years. Some gum trees are quite strange because their barks (树皮) fall. The driver told us that this was because they wanted to protect themselves from worms or fires. This forest is home to many animals. We could hear bird singing when we were walking in the shade from the trees.
The tour to Fraser Island makes a deep impression on us. It provides us magnificent views. It is well worth a visit.

8 . In 2015, motorcyclist Robert Jan kicked off a three-month solo(独自的) ride from the Netherlands to India.

    1     One day when he was watching a TV show about a man documenting his travels across countries, Robert decided he wanted to do something similar. About a decade later, he got his driver’s license.     2     Two years after that, Robert began a solo motorcycle trip from his home in the Netherlands to India. He traveled more than 10,000 miles in just under three months.

Robert, who is today a 30-year-old graphic designer (平面设计师), began planning the trip in September 2014, shortly after his graduation from Willem de Kooning Academy.     3     He secured the necessary paperwork, got cash, and supported the adventure through a graphic design job. He and his blue motorcycle—which he nicknamed Perry—took off in late August of 2015.

    4     He met fellow travelers along the way and slept outside, all the while writing about his experience on his blog, Going Eastwards.

But the three-month adventure also came with its challenges. Sometimes, he would go miles without spotting a much-needed gas station, and money eventually grew scarce(不足的).     5     In the end of November, Robert finally reached Mumbai, India. There, he shipped his bike back to Houten in the Netherlands and put himself on a plane back home.

“Took 81 days to get there,” he posted on Instagram, “back within 18 hours.”

A．And in 2013, he bought his first motorcycle.

B．From a young age, Robert has been an adventurer.

C．By the time he arrived, all the beds were occupied.

D．They helped Robert get the motorcycle out of the freezing cold water.

E．Riding through 14 countries, Robert met a diverse set of people and landscapes.

F．Closer to the end of the trip, the motorcycle broke down—but a local helped him out.

G．He spent the next several months reading stories of motorcycle adventurers like Paul van Hoff and Gordon G. May.

10 . Travel is fun and exciting, but it's not if you get sick．You may think,“Not me, I won't get sick on my vacation．”But for many people, that is what happens．

A vacation is supposed to be a time for relaxing．But very often it is not．“What can I do when I am a tourist?”This is what we should often think about．Usually there are so many places to visit：museums, shops, parks and churches．You may spend most days walking around these places．This can be very tiring．Your feet may hurt．And you may have a terrible headache after a few hours．If this is what you feel, you should take a rest．Don't ask your body to do too much．A tired body means a weak body．And a weak body can make you get sick easily．Just sit down for a few hours in a nice spot．In good weather, look for a quiet park bench．Or you can rest at a café．You can learn a lot by watching people when you have a rest．

Sleep is also important．If you want to stay healthy you need enough sleep．You may have trouble sleeping at night when you travel．Your hotel room may be noisy, or the bed may be uncomfortable．If that is true, don't be afraid to change rooms or hotels．You may not get enough sleep for another reason．You may want to stay out late at night．In many cities the night life can be very exciting．Then you should plan to sleep for an hour during the day．That extra hour can make a big difference．

Finally, if you want to stay healthy, you must eat well．That means eating the right kinds of foods．Your body needs fresh fruit and vegetables, and some meat, milk or cheese．When you are in a new country you may want to try new foods but you need to be careful about how much you eat．Lots of rich food is not very good for you．
