3 . 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.

With the rise in COVID -19 cases, this year’s May Day holiday didn’t offer the usual opportunities for travel that it generally would. However, some of my favorite spots remained open. I     1     (take) the chance to visit one of them, Beihai Park. And I was able to explore it in     2     (great) detail and restudy it from a fresher point of view.

Actually, I had visited Beihai Park many times in all seasons. This time, rather than heading straight to     3     (it) most popular site, the White Pagoda, I explored some of the temples and places to its south.     4     the mass of crowds constantly forcing me forward, I felt much less pressure to move from place to place.

I was able to take my time and focus more on the     5     (unbelievable) complex details of these buildings, in particular the mythical creatures on the corners of the     6     (roof ). The size and amount of these creatures played multiple role for buildings in the past, both     7     (represent) its significance -- the greater the number of creatures, the more important it was.

    8     these creations follow a general style, the colors and designs on display have a unique flavor. The park has amazing feature and pieces of culture and history     9     are not obvious at first sight. By making the most of the current situation, I’ve been able to have     10     better understanding of it and realize that I still know so little about it.

4 . On September 15, El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras celebrate their own independence days. On October 16, Mexico follows suit. Each country above has its own nature, but what combines them is local traditions and Spanish culture. Here are four destinations worthy of planning a trip.

Tazumal, El Salvador

El Salvador is home to some rather impressive Mayan ruins that show off this once great civilization. Tazumal is one such place, which is believed to be more than 7,000 years old and was left abandoned sometime around the 13th century. However, large areas were extensively restored in the 40s’ and 50s’, giving visitors a taste of the past.

Antigua, Guatemala

The 16th-century city of Antigua is surrounded by volcanoes, churches, and Baroque buildings, combining European style with pre-Hispanic traditions, making its way to the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites. It’s possible to visit most of its attractions on foot, including the Arco de Santa Catalina, the Central Park, and the Palacio del Ayuntamiento.

Comayagua, Honduras

Honduras may be well-known for its beaches, and one worthy of your travels is the city that was once the capital: Comayagua. Founded in the early 1500s, a visit here is like traveling back in time. Several museums showcase the cultural richness and the must-see clock in the central square, which is the oldest clock in the continent, dating back to the 12th century.

Veracruz, Mexico

Veracruz is a natural beauty with beaches that stretch for as far as the eye can see, deep blue waves and powerful waterfalls. When visiting Veracruz, stop by the Zocalo in Downtown Veracruz, where locals gather to listen to “son jarocho”, a regional folk music style that started right here. Couples also gather to dance in the square. But not just any dance, rather they take part in Danzόn, a traditional couples dance iconic (标志性的) to this particular state.

5 . Four Winter Spots

Here are four spots around the world worth a winter trip.

Christmas Island, Australia

On Christmas Day of 1643, Captain William Mynors sailed past this tropical (热带的) island 224 miles south of Java and named it, of course, “Christmas”. Consisting of rainforest, sand beaches, coral reefs and one oceanic mountain, two thirds of this 52-square-mile island is a national park, home to pipistrelles, flying foxes, endangered seabirds and sea turtles. Many of the 2,000 local people celebrate the Chinese Lunar New Year every year.

Quito, Ecuador

In Quito, the sun always sets at six. As the second biggest city in Ecuador and the second highest capital in the world, Quito makes a convenient access point to the Amazon rainforest, the thrill-seekers’ paradise. In only three hours, travelers can travel from the best-preserved historical city center in Latin America to the land of giant tortoises, lava lizards and blue-footed boobies.

Sun Peaks, Canada

Snowshoeing, dogsledding and storm-watching all make British Columbia a favorite winter destination. But if you're planning on skiing, ski-biking or snow-limo-riding, please head for Sun Peaks, Canada’s second largest ski area.

Lijiang, China

A winter trip to the southwest Chinese province of Yunnan promises mild, dry and sunny weather —excellent conditions for skiing the trails of China’s highest ski resort, Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. Home to plenty of wildlife and 400 types of trees, the mountain is located about 10 miles from the UNESCO World Heritage Old Town of Lijiang, an important center for the fascinating Naxi people whose 1,000-year-old Dongba characters are the only living pictographic (象形文字的) writing system worldwide today.

7 . On July 11th Virgin Galactic finally realized the promise that it would take passengers on life-changing trips in its spaceships. For 4 minutes, its six temporarily weightless passengers, including the firm's co-founder, Sir Richard Branson, saw the planet's curvature (曲度) against the blackness of outer space. He may have gloated (窃喜) over beating Jeff Bezos（much richer）, Amazon's retired boss, who would go slightly higher, for slightly less time, in a vehicle built by his own company, Blue Origin, on July 20th.

The two are among a growing group of enthusiasts who believe space tourism's time has come. Suborbital (亚轨道) tourism is part of a broader space economy that has boomed over the past decade thanks to technological advances. Those at Morgan Stanley expect the entire space economy to generate$1trm in revenue by 2040, from $350bn today. UBS (瑞银集团) expects the entire space economy to produce $800 billion by the end of this decade. Space tourism，it thinks, will make “a big contribution” to that total.

But that is highly unlikely. For example, space tourism is not even Blue Origin's main goal. The company is focusing on developing a large new rocket for launching satellites, on selling advanced rocket engines to other companies and on winning NASA contracts such as that for a system to land humans on the Moon. In the long run, Mr Bezos doesn't see Blue Origin as provider of services to thrill-seekers.

The business could be profitable once regular flights begin to offset (抵消) the rockets' development costs. But how fast and by how much is uncertain. Without tourist-friendly destinations to visit, space tourism, with its far higher ticket prices, will not be a huger earner.

Another challenge—and the biggest uncertainty—relates to safety. History has shown that a disaster can set progress back by years. Even with no accidents, problems may arise. Strict top down regulation could mean that industry will no longer have the freedom to pursue new approaches to improving safety.

Space tourism may remain a hobby for a few superrich with a desire to take risks and lots of time to spare. Not exactly a mass market, then, for the time being.

1. Why are Sir Richard Branson and Jeff Bezos mentioned in Paragraph 1?

A．To draw readers' attention to the two superrich.	B．To introduce the topic of space travel.
C．To describe a debate between the two.	D．To prove Virgin Galactic is successful and reliable.

2. What does the underlined “that” in Paragraph 3 refer to?

A．Space economy will produce $800 billion.	B．Space tourism will contribute a lot to UBS.
C．Space tourism will boom with a large profit.	D．Space travels are offered to paying customers.

3. What does Blue Origin focus on?

A．Flying superrich to space.	B．Selling facilities to other companies or NASA.
C．Improving the safety of space travel.	D．Developing advanced satellites.

4. Why is space tourism not a mass market now?

A．Problems of security and costs remain to be solved.	B．Superrich people are unwilling to pay for it.
C．There are too many destinations to choose from.	D．Only superrich are permitted by the government.

8 . The New York Times launched a debate last week: Where Would Hemingway Go in Europe? This referred to Ermest Hemingway, the American journalist and writer, who described his life in European cities like Paris in many of his works. So which city is the new symbol of a dynamic Europe where Hemingway would settle? Several writers and journalists addressed the question.

Joseph described London as a “global city”-though no longer capital of an empire, London drew the best and brightest from all over the world. Fyodor said that Bruges in Belgium symbolized the new Europe. He described Europe as a beautiful old town, a Flemish Venice, with quiet canals, old cathedrals and Renaissance masterpieces.

Berlin was the choice of Gauti, saying although Paris, London, Rome and Vienna remained a high position in our minds, they were like interesting museums with splendid old buildings and statues showing their former greatness and past achievements. But their potential seemed to have gone. He suggested that this potential may be linked to political power. People of talent and influence were very often attracted to power, since it was the greatest source of funds and acknowledgement. There was also the potential of the unknown and yet-to-be discovered, which attracted passionate minds. In his opinion, the European city to offer this now is Berlin.

Personally, I don't feel qualified to decide where Papa Hemingway would hang his hat. These days London and Paris are too expensive for struggling writers. Bruges is pretty, but who wants to live in the Middle Ages? Brussels is clean and attractive, but full of boring Euro-bureaucrats. Rome's terrible traffic would drive Hem mad. Amsterdam might be OK. But I would guess Papa would vote for Pamplona in Spain. He loved bullfighting and was pictured at the annual festival of the running of bulls in Pamplona.

1. Why was the debate “Where Would Hemingway Go in Europe” launched?

A．To find exactly where Ermest Hemingway went.

B．To discuss which is the most dynamic city in Europe.

C．To attract famous writers and journalists to Europe.

D．To tighten the connection among European cities.

2. What made Gauti choose Berlin?

A．Its potential and power.	B．Its former glories.
C．Its interesting museums.	D．Its position in people's mind.

3. What does the underlined phrase “hang his hat” in the last paragraph probably mean?

A．Put away his hat.

B．Make a speech.

C．Settle down.

D．Stop writing.

4. What can we infer from the last paragraph about Hemingway?

A．He lived an expensive and adventurous life.	B．He enjoyed taking pictures of bull fighting.
C．He was not rich but full of passion for life.	D．He was interested in things of the Middle Ages.
