I also learnt a lot from other people’s cycling experiences. I packed everything I needed and started the trip. The cycling took us almost a month to complete. It was tiring but worthwhile. I saw beautiful mountains, forests, and rivers. I met a lot of nice people, and some of them gave me a lot of help along the way. But there were also difficulties, and sometimes I just wanted to give up. However, when I finally arrived at Tian’anmen Square, I was so proud of myself.
Lin Tao
My best holiday experience was two years ago. My family lives in Wuhan, the biggest city in Central China. That summer, I decided to do something cool: cycling from Wuhan to Beijing with some friends from college. My parents were surprised at my idea, but soon they gave me all their support. With their help, I made a cycling plan.

My best holiday experience was when I learnt to scuba dive. My family and I went to a town beside the ocean. At first, I took some classes to learn how to scuba dive safely. I practised in a swimming pool for a few days. Then, I lived on a boat for a week in order to do scuba diving in the ocean. Every day, I went
scuba diving with a guide. I saw so many colourful fish, amazing sea animals, and fantastic coral everywhere. While I was diving, another diver pointed, and I realized there was a baby shark near me. It was a stunning experience, and I will never forget it!

A Cooking Experience
My parents and I went to a countryside town last weekend. We passed by a supermarket and thought about buying things to cook at home. But finally, we took a class in a kitchen inside an old farmhouse. The chef taught us to make delicious bread and cookies(饼干). I was so proud when I saw the golden-brown treats come out of the oven.
Where did the writer learn to bake(烘焙)?
A. In a supermarket
B. In a kitchen inside an old farmhouse
C. At home
解析:答案为 B。文中提到 “supermarket” 和 “at home”,但均不是实际学习烘焙的地点,A、C 选项具有迷惑性。题目 “learn to bake” 与 “took a class”“make delicious bread” 同义,结合 “kitchen” 和 “old farmhouse” 确定正确学习地点。

A Basketball Training
Last summer vacation,Tom and his classmates planned to practice basketball on the school playground. However, it rained heavily for days, so the playground became too wet.

Where did Tom learn basketball skills?
A. On the school playground
B. At a sports center
C. In a park
解析:答案为 B。文中提到 “school playground”,但因下雨未能在此练习,A 选项具有迷惑性;“park” 作为干扰项在文中未提及,C 选项用于混淆。题目中 “learn basketball skills” 与 “taught them basketball skills” 同义替换,通过 “sports center” 和 “next to the library” 锁定正确地点。
