The show showed the area’s amazing natural beauty, with mountains covered in snow, lakes that are very clear, and old villages that are still in good condition. Altay is also a favorite place for skiing during the cold season. People who study tourism say that Altay has always been famous for its beautiful nature, but it was not a popular place to visit before because it took a long time to travel there and the cost of staying in hotels was high. However, the popular TV show has made more people, especially young people, interested in visiting Altay. Even though it can be difficult to travel to Altay, experts think that the area could become a great place for tourists. Altay has different interesting things to see in summer and winter, so it can attract visitors all year. The government of Altay are advised to keep making their area better for tourists by improving their tourism and cultural attractions, as well as making the places for tourists to stay and visit better. It is not the first time that a TV show has made a place more popular for tourists. In the last few years, other places, like Dali in Yunnan Province, have also become popular tourist destinations (目的地) because of interesting TV dramas. By making tour products that include both natural beauty and cultural activities, Altay can make visiting even better and bring more people to see their special area. 1．Why wasn’t Altay a popular tourist destination before the TV show?

It can feel strange to be lost—sometimes very uncomfortable, too. But that’s not always the case. When I was about twelve, we were on holiday in Venice. My dad’s a photographer and he said that he was going to get up the following morning at 5 o’clock to take photos. Mum wasn’t interested, but I said I’d go with him, only because he promised I could have the biggest ever bowl of Italian ice cream if I did. Why else would I rise so early? So at 5 a. m. , we left the hotel and started walking. There was almost no one in the streets. As the sun began to come up, Dad started taking photographs and I just looked around. Every time he walked off, I followed him, down small streets and over little bridges. After about an hour and a half, I found we lost our way and felt a bit scared, but Dad just smiled and laughed. “We’re lost!” he said. I told him to get out his map or phone. He looked at me. “Map? Phone? I only brought the camera. Come on, let’s get more lost.” He laughed again. His laughter relaxed me and made me feel safe. We started to walk again. People were appearing on the streets—shops and cafes began to open, and as the sun came up, the narrow (狭窄的) streets started to fill with light. Finally, after about four hours of wandering around, we were back. Mum asked worriedly, “Where have you been?” I said with a big smile, “We got lost.” These days we have so many things to stop us from getting lost—maps, GPS, apps on our phones and so on. But Dad showed me that being lost can sometimes simply be something to enjoy. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 1．Why did the writer decide to go with his dad? A．He liked taking photos.

With thick forests, blue lakes and green hills, there was so much to see. The food was another thing that made my journey interesting. There were different kinds of food in China. I got to taste local food in every place I went. My favorite was the spicy food in Sichuan. No matter how much I ate, I never got sick of having different Chinese foods. There were so many different choices. In addition, cycling in China cost less than I thought. I could even save some money during the trip to support a local charity. The best part was about people. I met people from different ethnic minorities (少数民族) across China and I was even invited to attend a wedding by Tibetan girls. The wedding was amazing, full of dancing, laughter and fun. One time I met a group of Chinese men who were also travelling, but by motorcycle. They invited me to stay with them in the mountains. We cooked fish that we caught from the lake together. It felt like true freedom from the busy feeling of daily life. Another example was impressive. When I met a group of cyclists in their 60s, they cycled better than me. It really encouraged me to push myself and go farther every day. Also, an experienced cyclist helped me when I got a flat tire (爆胎). He offered to fix my tire.

The wall was built in the shape of a huge tortoise, with four gates located in the east, south, west and north, corresponding to (对应) the tortoise’s four feet. The Zhang Yi Tower at the west gate was very tall, while the Zhang Ruo Tower at the east gate was slightly shorter. When the sun rose, the Zhang Ruo Tower looked like the head of a tortoise, and the Zhang Yi Tower looked like its tail. This is how Chengdu got this nickname (绰号). Jin City (锦城) About four or five hundred years later, during the time of Shu-Han, Chengdu was given ad new nickname—Jin City. Chengdu has had a well-developed brocade industry (织锦业) from early times, as mentioned in Shu Du Fu (《蜀都赋》) written by Yang Xiong. During the Three Kingdoms Period, Liu Bei set up a government-run brocade area around the present Wuhou Shrine (武侯祠) to further develop the brocade industry, leading to Chengdu being known as “Jin City”. Rong City (蓉城) Chengdu is also known as “the City of Hibiscus (芙蓉花)”, shortened to “Rong City”. During the time of the Later Shu, Emperor Meng Chang ordered people to plant hibiscus all along the city wall. Every autumn, the hibiscus flowers would open like brocade. Since then, Chengdu has been known as “Rong City” due to (由于) the beauty of the flowers. 1．Why did Zhang Yi and Zhang Ruo build the city wall in Chengdu? A．To be the emperors of the city.

Maybe you haven’t heard about some of the things here. That’s because they are all a “failure”. On 7th June, 2017, the Museum of Failure opened in a town in Sweden. There are more than 60 failed products from all over the world on show at the museum. Dr Samuel West from Sweden set up the museum. It provides visitors with a learning experience about the important role of failure. Without laughing at failures, West hopes his museum can help us learn from our mistakes. “When we try out a new skill or learn something, it’s okay to fail,” he says. The museum also encourages companies to become better at learning from failure. One of the failed products on show is Apple Newton. It offers an example of how companies can turn failure into success. Created in 1993, Apple Newton failed to satisfy customers. Steve Jobs stopped producing it in 1998. Twelve years later, the company produced the successful iPad. “By stopping it, we could work on new products,” Jobs later said. “And finally, we got it right when we moved on to iPhones and the iPad.” Getting all the products wasn’t easy for West. Many of them were bought on the Internet and all of them were different from one another. Now West became successful by setting up a museum that can travel around the world.

Altay is also a favorite place for skiing during the cold season. People who study tourism say that Altay has always been famous for its beautiful nature, but it was not a popular place to visit before because it took a long time to travel there and the cost of staying in hotels was high.

It can feel strange to be lost—sometimes very uncomfortable, too. But that’s not always the case. When I was about twelve, we were on holiday in Venice. My dad’s a photographer and he said that he was going to get up the following morning at 5 o’clock to take photos. Mum wasn’t interested, but I said I’d go with him, only because he promised I could have the biggest ever bowl of Italian ice cream if I did. Why else would I rise so early? So at 5 a. m. , we left the hotel and started walking. There was almost no one in the streets. As the sun began to come up, Dad started taking photographs and I just looked around. Every time he walked off, I followed him, down small streets and over little bridges. After about an hour and a half, I found we lost our way and felt a bit scared, but Dad just smiled and laughed. “We’re lost!” he said. I told him to get out his map or phone. He looked at me. “Map? Phone? I only brought the camera. Come on, let’s get more lost.” He laughed again. His laughter relaxed me and made me feel safe. We started to walk again. People were appearing on the streets—shops and cafes began to open, and as the sun came up, the narrow (狭窄的) streets started to fill with light. Finally, after about four hours of wandering around, we were back. Mum asked worriedly, “Where have you been?” I said with a big smile, “We got lost.” These days we have so many things to stop us from getting lost—maps, GPS, apps on our phones and so on. But Dad showed me that being lost can sometimes simply be something to enjoy. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 1．Why did the writer decide to go with his dad? A．He liked taking photos.

So I made up my mind to go on a 3-month cycling journey to discover more. My cycling journey was very safe in China because I never had a moment when I felt I was in danger. Wherever I went, there was always phone signal, and even WeChat pay. The scenery was also fantastic. It simply took my breath away when I cycled on the way. With thick forests, blue lakes and green hills, there was so much to see. The food was another thing that made my journey interesting. There were different kinds of food in China. I got to taste local food in every place I went. My favorite was the spicy food in Sichuan. No matter how much I ate, I never got sick of having different Chinese foods. There were so many different choices. In addition, cycling in China cost less than I thought. I could even save some money during the trip to support a local charity. The best part was about people. I met people from different ethnic minorities (少数民族) across China and I was even invited to attend a wedding by Tibetan girls. The wedding was amazing, full of dancing, laughter and fun. One time I met a group of Chinese men who were also travelling, but by motorcycle. They invited me to stay with them in the mountains. We cooked fish that we caught from the lake together. It felt like true freedom from the busy feeling of daily life. Another example was impressive. When I met a group of cyclists in their 60s, they cycled better than me. It really encouraged me to push myself and go farther every day. Also, an experienced cyclist helped me when I got a flat tire (爆胎). He offered to fix my tire. Cycling in China was a wonderful journey. I benefited a lot from it. It is an experience I will treasure forever.

Let’s take a journey through the long history of Chengdu based on its names. The City of Tortoise (龟城) In 316 BC, Zhang Yi and Zhang Ruo, generals of the Qin state, built a city wall in Chengdu to better protect its people against enemies. The wall was built in the shape of a huge tortoise, with four gates located in the east, south, west and north, corresponding to (对应) the tortoise’s four feet. The Zhang Yi Tower at the west gate was very tall, while the Zhang Ruo Tower at the east gate was slightly shorter. When the sun rose, the Zhang Ruo Tower looked like the head of a tortoise, and the Zhang Yi Tower looked like its tail. This is how Chengdu got this nickname (绰号). Jin City (锦城) About four or five hundred years later, during the time of Shu-Han, Chengdu was given ad new nickname—Jin City. Chengdu has had a well-developed brocade industry (织锦业) from early times, as mentioned in Shu Du Fu (《蜀都赋》) written by Yang Xiong. During the Three Kingdoms Period, Liu Bei set up a government-run brocade area around the present Wuhou Shrine (武侯祠) to further develop the brocade industry, leading to Chengdu being known as “Jin City”. Rong City (蓉城) Chengdu is also known as “the City of Hibiscus (芙蓉花)”, shortened to “Rong City”. During the time of the Later Shu, Emperor Meng Chang ordered people to plant hibiscus all along the city wall. Every autumn, the hibiscus flowers would open like brocade. Since then, Chengdu has been known as “Rong City” due to (由于) the beauty of the flowers. 1．Why did Zhang Yi and Zhang Ruo build the city wall in Chengdu? A．To be the emperors of the city. B．To protect the people against enemies. C．To admire the hibiscus flowers. D．To protect the brocade industry. 2．What was the name of Chengdu during the time of Shu-Han? A．The City of Tortoise.

On 7th June, 2017, the Museum of Failure opened in a town in Sweden. There are more than 60 failed products from all over the world on show at the museum. Dr Samuel West from Sweden set up the museum. It provides visitors with a learning experience about the important role of failure. Without laughing at failures, West hopes his museum can help us learn from our mistakes. “When we try out a new skill or learn something, it’s okay to fail,” he says. The museum also encourages companies to become better at learning from failure. One of the failed products on show is Apple Newton. It offers an example of how companies can turn failure into success. Created in 1993, Apple Newton failed to satisfy customers. Steve Jobs stopped producing it in 1998. Twelve years later, the company produced the successful iPad. “By stopping it, we could work on new products,” Jobs later said. “And finally, we got it right when we moved on to iPhones and the iPad.” Getting all the products wasn’t easy for West. Many of them were bought on the Internet and all of them were different from one another. Now West became successful by setting up a museum that can travel around the world. He and his museum will then visit Los Angeles, New York, Shanghai, Tokyo and so on. Many companies have booked large group visits. 根据语篇内容，选择最佳选项。 1．According to the passage, which is TRUE about the Museum of Failure? A．It didn’t open at last. B．It first opened in Sweden.
