Fu, 60, has been a cycling enthusiast for many years, and it has always been his dream to go to Lhasa by bike. In 2019, he retired and has been able to devote more time to cycling    1     then. After over half a year of    2    (prepare), on May 22, he set off.

Fu    3    (ride)up to more than 100 km per day, and along the way he had encountered rain, fog and wind. Worse still, he    4    (see)wolves which made him    5    (desperate)tired sometimes. The biggest difficulty is climbing mountains at a high altitude, for there is a severe lack of oxygen.    6     he was not alone. During the ride, he posted what he saw and heard on social media and attracted many followers.

After 82 days, cycling    7    total of 5,600 km, he finally got to Mount Qomolangma, passing    8    six provinces and regions.

Fu believes it was his scientific approach to training that enabled him     9    (overcome)those difficulties and reach his destination.

“Also, My family, friends and cyclists from all over the country all gave me great encouragement and support. Without them, I might not have finished,” says Fu.

For the future, Fu has many    10    (much)plans. “I will continue riding every year and try to realize my dream of riding around China,” he says.

4 . The city of Venice, Italy, has finally made a long-awaited decision. Starting on August 1, 2021,cruise ships(游轮)will no longer be allowed to enter the city’s waters.

Contrary to popular opinion, these cruise ship visitors contribute relatively little to the local tourism economy. The New York Times reported cruise ship passengers amount to 73% of visitors, but contribute a mere 18% of tourism dollars. ”The percentage is inverted for people who spend at least one night at a hotel; they represent 14%of visitors, but 48% of the business.”

Many people are overjoyed by the news, especially environmental activists. Firstly, he cruise ships would disturb the waterways and erode(侵蚀)the foundations of already weak buildings. A 2019 study published in Nature found the waves created by large ships could “redistribute industrial pollutants already present in the waters.” Others have said these same waves carve huge holes in the underwater bottoms of buildings, making them unstable. Furthermore, when canals are deepened in order to allow larger boats, it destroys coastal habitats and makes floods worse. This is part of the reason why, in recent years, Venice has experienced terrible flooding that completely flooded St. Mark’s Square and other landmarks.

The announcement came as a surprise as many did not expect the regional government to act so swiftly. In April a projected ban was issued, but it depended on finding an alternative port for the ships-a requirement that local people complained could take years to achieve. The announcement made last week, however, did away with that condition, allowing the city to move forward quickly with the ban.

Hopefully, more travelers are also realizing industrial-style tourism is a terrible way to travel for many reasons. It’s not unlike industrial agriculture and fast fashion in that its goal is to force as many sights, landmarks, and countries into as tight a schedule as possible, for as little money as possible. Its concentration on convenience erodes human connections, preservation of meaningful spots that make travel so valuable in the first place.

1. What does the underlined word “inverted” mean in Paragraph 2?

A．Increased slightly.

B．Looked down upon.

C．Adjusted accordingly.

D．Turned upside down.

2. What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about?

A．Reasons for Venice’s terrible floods.	B．Dangers cruise ships brought about.
C．Reaction to the long-awaited decision.	D．Damage erosion waves did to buildings.

3. What is Venetians’ attitude toward the April ban?

A．Unclear.

B．Hopeful.

C．Doubtful.

D．Unfavorable.

4. What is the best title for the text?

A．Venice Says “No” to Cruise Ships.	B．The Long-awaited Decision is Made.
C．Cruise Ships Erodes Ancient Venice.	D．Venice Tries to Preserve Its Waterway.
