1 . 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

Last October I left the UK behind and joined Gillotts School on their rugby and hockey tour in sunny Italy. It was my first time away on a sports tour and I could not have enjoyed it     1     (much)! Five days of sports, between training and matches with Italian players, but also plenty     2    time for sightseeing and free moments to enjoy an ice cream in the sun.

    3     our flight had landed in Milan, we got on our coach and drove for a couple of hours towards our home for the week, the Hotel San Zeno, a     4     (comfort), family-run accommodation, with a splendid view of Lake Garda. Starting the day with a self-led training, enjoying a boat tour on the lake, wandering along the streets of Sirmione for a few hours and heading off     5     (play) a sport — these are just a few     6     (example) of the kind of adventures you could be having!

The girls and boys on this tour seemed to enjoy    7     (they) thoroughly, especially after winning ALL of their games! I found myself     8     (cheer) them on like a proud aunt and celebrating afterwards with food, drink and social time, hosted by rugby clubs after matches. On the last day we headed back to     9     airport, but not before stopping in Milan! We     10     (pay) a visit to the San Siro museum and enjoyed a stadium tour before moving on to Milan city centre for an afternoon of shopping.

6 . Join this two-day tour of the amazing South Coast of Iceland to discover glaciers(冰川), lava fields, volcanoes, rivers and waterfalls, as well as the unique and naturally formed Blue Ice Cave. This tour is for anyone looking to experience the vast wonders of Iceland in only two days.

Your adventure begins with a pickup from Reykjavik City on the morning of your first day, after which you will pay a visit to two of the country’s most famous and remarkable waterfalls, Seljalandsfoss and Skogafoss. Then, you will be treated to nearby waterfalls of equal beauty: Gljufrabui, Kvemufoss and Irafoss, which are hidden treasures of the area that many people miss out on experiencing. The black pebble(卵石) beach Reynisljara and its sea (海蚀柱）Reynisdrangar will complete this exciting first day of the tour.

After a good night’s rest, your adventure continues, as you visit the otherworldly nature reserve Skaftafell and take a walk along the Diamond Beach. Then it’s time for the highlight of the tour to visit a natural ice cave within Vatnajokull glacier, Iceland’s largest ice cap. To visit one of these caves is a rarity and a privilege(特权), as they are hunted down by experts each fall and filled with meltwater each spring. Since this is the winter season, there is a good chance the Northern Lights might grace you with their presence each night of your adventure.

This tour is in high demand and of limited availability. Book now if you want to experience the nature of Iceland!

8 . A travel journal is one of the best ways to keep a long voyage in memory. Many details that don’t seem important while you are writing your travel journal often turn out to be so memorable.

    1    . When you are on a busy journey, it is easy to forget to write. You may promise yourself that you will write later, but that almost never happens. Take a few minutes every day and put down your memories.     2    .

Use your “down time” for your travel journal. There is a surprising amount of sitting around while traveling. You can always put down a few lines in your travel journal when you are on trains, waiting for planes, drying your laundry, or waiting in line.

At the beginning of your journal, write down the day, where you are, who you are with, maybe even the weather and what you eat.     3    . Years later when you read your journal, you will know exactly what you were doing on that day.

Focus on writing about how you feel. Listing facts and figures is fine but that isn’t why you traveled. A long journey is a time for self-reflection. Memories of these feelings fade quickly with time.     4    .

    5    . Whenever you use a ticket for a train or a museum or a ride, tape the stubs to your journal. They are pieces of history from your journey. Years later you can look at the ticket stubs and see exactly what you were doing on a specific day and how much it cost.

A．Keep ticket stubs.

B．Book your ticket in advance.

C．You’d better write down as much as possible.

D．These are the first details people tend to forget.

E．It doesn’t have to be long, just on a regular basis.

F．Get into the habit of writing your travel journal every day.

G．Writing about those experiences while the memories are fresh is important.

9 . Germans have a word wanderlust which translated into English would be ‘the desire to wander'． Nowadays the chance to travel is endless． Thanks to cheap air tickets， travelling abroad is very easy and sometimes it's even cheaper to fly out of the country than to travel within your own． So， yes， travelling is cheap but there have to be other reasons to travel and you've right， there are plenty!

I have always had this feeling of wanderlust． It started from me wanting to explore my local woods at the back of my garden as a young girl and as I have grown， so has my sense of adventure． And I found my local woods being replaced with the Brazil wetland， Pantanal， where I went last summer in search of jaguars， snakes and crocodiles． The thing with travelling is it's always different． Even if you went to the same country， to the same town and stayed in the exact same hotel it would be a completely different experience． The people you meet will be different， and they will tell you their own travelling stories： stories of holiday romance， holiday worries and stories that seem so outrageous that you can hardly believe them until something similar happens to you．

Or maybe the difference is you？ Maybe you have changed since last time you were there？ And that's the thing with travelling - it changes you． When you travel you are forced to experience a new culture． Whether it's eating guinea pig， or staying with a family where neither of you speak a common language and you have to communicate through hand actions and smiles， the experience gives me itchy feet to do it all again． And although wanderlust is a German word， the English idiom "to have itchy feet" has a similar idea． Someone who has itchy feet needs to leave or travel． This desire to explore is found not only in language but in us．
