If so, I advise you to spend at least one night in its capital city on the way. Bangkok is an exciting city with lots of things to see and do! ●What to do The city’s main views include the Grand Palace, the Chatuchak Market and the Temple of Wat Pho. Besides, there are live snake shows at the snake farm. You can even touch a snake yourself if you want to. ●Where to eat The simple answer is: everywhere! That street food is among the best in the world. Some food stalls have little plastic seats where you can sit down and eat. For about five dollars, you can eat a filling and delicious meal! ●How to get around There are two quick ways to get around the city. If you want to visit the traditional temples and historical sites, you can catch an express boat—the river “taxi” —along the Chao Phraya River . If you want to see the more modern part of the city, you can also take the Skytrain. It is a fast and cheap way to get to the city’s shopping malls. 26. From the first paragraph, we can know Bangkok is________. A. the mountain of Thailand B. the capital of Thailand C. the island of Thailand D. the river of Thailand 27. How many things does the passage tell the reader to see and do in Bangkok? A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five. 28. If you take a trip in Thailand, you can________. A. not visit the traditional temples and old sites there B. only catch a boat to get around the city C. watch live snake shows but never touch a snake D. eat the best street food in the world I like travelling. I have been to many places, such as Beijing and Shanghai. Yet, I still have a wish — to go somewhere else to experience differences and changes. Thanks to the Belt and Road Initiative (一带一路倡议), my mother’s university has a Polish research center. I got to meet a friend named Tomek. He came to China with his mother from Poland this summer vacation. We were so excited to meet each other. He found it interesting to learn Chinese and Chinese culture. I even taught him the local language. It was a fun experience for me. Then I began to wonder how these two countries, thousands of kilometers away, can be close today. My mother told me it was because of the Belt and Road Initiative. More than 2,000 years ago, Chinese people opened up routes of trade and cultural exchanges. This was called the Silk Road. In 2013, President Xi Jinping, came up with the idea of building the Silk Road Economic Belt and the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road. It is a great project. I live in Ningbo, which is a starting point for the Maritime Silk Road. I want to go to other countries taking part in the Belt and Road Initiative, including Russia, Pakistan and Poland. I want to make many friends like Tomek from these countries. I want to give Chinese gifts to foreign friends and tell them stories about China. Also, I want to see the contributions that China has made to help with the development of other countries around the world. 29. Why does the writer want to travel somewhere else? A. To make more friends in China. B. To experience differences and changes. C. To buy Chinese gifts for his family. D. To see beautiful views in foreign countries. 30. More than 2,000 years ago, Chinese people traded on ________. A. the Belt and Road Initiative B. the Silk Road Economic Belt C. the Silk Road D. the Maritime Silk Road 31. Which country is a starting country for the Maritime Silk Road. A. Poland B. China C. Russia D. Pakistan For many years, Robin Hood and his men had adventures (冒险). They robbed (抢劫) the rich and gave to the poor. They fought the sheriff’s men. Robin waited for King Richard to return from the wars. “Then and only then will I get my lands back and stop being an outlaw (歹徒),” he told his men. “Until that time we will live in Sherwood Forest.” More and more men and women joined the outlaws in Sherwood Forest. Prince John became very angry. “I will give one thousand pounds for the head of Robin Hood,” he told the Sheriff of Nottingham. The sheriff borrowed money from rich merchants. Soon he had more men than Robin Hood. “I must win those thousand pounds,” the sheriff told his wife. “If I do not, we shall lose everything.” When his army was ready, the sheriff left Nottingham for Sherwood Forest. Before they reached Robin’s camp, one of his men saw them. He blew his horn three times. Robin said, “The sheriff and his men are coming. We know he has a large army now. This will be the greatest battle of our lives. We must win this battle to stay free.” Robin and the outlaws fought a great battle against the sheriff and his men. Many men were killed and wounded on both sides. There were too many of the sheriff’s men for the outlaws to beat. At last, the sheriff’s men captured Robin and took him to the prison in Nottingham. They tied him with a rope and put him in a cell. The cell was at the top of a tall tower. During the night, Robin was able to untie the rope. There was a small window in the tower. Robin tied one end of the rope to a ring in the wall of his cell. He tied the other end to himself. Then he climbed through the window. The cell was a long way from the ground. Slowly, Robin climbed down the rope. He was halfway down when the rope broke. Robin fell to the ground. He lay there for a long time. His leg hurt badly. 32. Prince John became very angry because ________. A. more and more men and women joined the outlaws B. the outlaws won the battle C. Robin Hood took him into the prison D. Robin Hood fought his men 33. The underlined phrase “that time” in the first paragraph refers to the time that ________. A. Robin Hood won the battle B. the sheriff captured Robin C. King Richard returned from the wars D. the sheriff got the head of Robin Hood 34. According to the story, the correct order of the plot is ________. a. The sheriff borrowed money from rich merchants. b. Many men were killed and wounded on both sides. c. Prince John offered one thousand pounds for the head of Robin Hood. d. The sheriff’s men captured Robin and took him to the prison in Nottingham. A. c-a-d-b B. c-b-d-a C. c-b-a-d D. c-a-b-d 35. From his words and behaviours, we can find that Robin Hood is a ________ person. A. patient and clever B. brave and clever C. honest and kind D. smart and helpful 六、六选五（共5小题，每空2分，计10分） Friends are very important in our life. We often walk through life with them.
