Hidden amongst the shops and cafes of colorful Chinatown at 578 Carrall Street, the walled Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden is a little oasis(乐土) in the city of Vancouver, BC. Popular with locals looking for a quiet walk, tourists looking for an interesting attraction, and film crews searching for locations that look like China, the Chinese Garden is top of most people’s lists for a shot of nature in the heart of the city.

3 . This week, the French cruise (游船) operator shared a picture of the newest ship in its fleet, which is set to become the first passenger ship to sail to the North Pole. Alongside that distinction comes several other impressive firsts: Le Commandant Charcot will be the first passenger ship to use a satellite ice routing system, allowing the ship to sail along new ice pathways and be the first ship with built-in polar survival equipment for up to five days.

After a day of exploration on trips such as skiing, kayaking (皮艇运动), and, for the brave of heart, polar swimming, guests can enjoy the pleasure in French opulence (豪华), relaxing at the ship’s spa or drinking a glass of Veuve Cliquot on a private balcony before getting ready for evening dinners designed by French chef Alain Ducasse. Topping out at a maximum number of 245 guests per ship with service in all suites, the ship has a 1:1 guest/crew ratio (比例), one of the highest ratios among expedition ships today.

As it travels through fragile environments such as the North Pole and Antarctica, Le Commandant Charcot will be the first passenger ship to run entirely on natural gas, currently the most environmentally friendly sea fuel available.

As we all know, the road trip may be the most popular mode of transport.     1     Here are some helpful tips ahead of going away by car, in the near or distant future.

Make a plan

Planning your trip is the key to staying safe and having fun. Although travel restrictions are changing at a quick pace, it is extremely important to do so.     2     This is a great way to break the journey up while providing a taste of adventure as well.

    3    

Since there has been a rise in staycations (宅度假) in the UK, depending where you are going, you may experience more crowds than usual as well as a higher demand for hotels, landmarks, and pubs.

9 . Last July, I visited Cambridge, a historical university town in England. It is well known that Cambridge University is one of the best universities in the world, but few people know its unique university system. The trip made me know more about the school. It turned out so different from what I had expected!

At Cambridge, there are 31 colleges. These colleges are places where students live, enjoy entertainment, study at libraries and use leisure equipment. Once you enter a college, it becomes your community. Each college is different in terms of places, equipment and atmosphere (氛围). This is why, when applying to Cambridge, applicants (申请人) take great care to choose the right college for themselves. Sometimes, it is just a matter of whether it “feels right” for you.

I also had the chance to visit their Museum of Classical Archaeology (考古学). For someone who is crazy about classics (经典), Cambridge is the perfect place to come and learn from their museums. Classics have been interesting me since I was a kid, and I have developed a deep love for Greek mythology (神话) in comic books. In most museums that Cambridge has, it is easy to find exhibits (展品) that enable you to gain knowledge in any area of interest. There is a museum for almost everything you can think of, including earth sciences, art and — of course — classics.

If you ever have the chance to visit Cambridge, I would suggest visiting their museums as part of your trip. Not only would you be able to immerse yourself in the studying atmosphere, but you could enjoy the wonderful exhibits each museum offers.

1. How did the writer learn more about Cambridge University according to the passage?

A．By reading books.	B．By visiting it.
C．By watching TV.	D．By surfing the Internet.

2. Why should applicants be careful about choosing the right college?

A．Students have different interests.	B．Not all colleges are open to them.
C．The colleges are similar to each other.	D．Each college is different in its own way.

3. What is the third paragraph mainly about?

A．The writer’s deep interest in classics.

B．The great advantages of visiting Cambridge’s museums.

C．The large collection of exhibits in Cambridge’s museums.

D．The writer’s visit to the Museum of Classical Archaeology.

4. Which of the following words can be used to replace the underlined word “immerse” in the last paragraph?

A．Put.

B．Teach.

C．Value.

D．Dress.
