The icy beauty of the Arctic attracts thousands of visitors every year to see its wonderful wildlife, landscape and local cultures.Visitors can take ships on a voyage along the Arctic Ocean or take flights to cities along the Arctic edge.No matter how one gets there, they should wear warm clothes and get ready to take in the attractions.
“Traveling to the Arctic leaves an unforgettable impression on the visitor.Its vast expanse and the fragility of its environment are two things that really blow away people,” said Cheryl Rosa, the director of the US Arctic Research Commission.
Visitors to the Arctic Circle will have a lot of activities to choose from if they want to see all that the region has to offer.Hiking with snowshoes, dog sledding and kayaking are common activities.Visitors with sharp eyes are likely to spot polar bears.To get even closer to the animals of the sea, visitors can go polar snorkeling with seals.Of course, Arctic adventures aren't complete without viewing the wonders of the Arctic Circle's large glaciers and icebergs as well.
One of the most impressive attractions and maybe the most difficult to see is the Northern Lights, one of the seven natural wonders of the world.They are natural lights that glow a brilliant green and light up the horizon.Sometimes they appear as waves that dance across the sky in different colors.
The best places to view the Northern Lights are in Northern Norway, Sweden's Abisko National Park, Iceland, America's Alaska or Canada's Yukon, according to Space.com.Charles Deehr, an expert at the University of Alaska Fairbanks' Geophysical Institute, recommended planning a trip between winter and spring, especially when there is a new moon.
Even though the Arctic is a popular tourist destination, don't forget that people live here too.“It is recommended that visitors go with tour groups that are respectful of Arctic residents(居民) and their culture,” said Rosa.“Too many people can disturb the small villages.Finding tour groups that work with local communities is important.”

解析 考查引导词。 2 really impressed me为主语从句,从句中缺少主语,结合语境主语指代物,应用what引导。
3.答案 amazing
解析 考查词性转换。句意:我期待着在牛津街度过第二天,那里有许多令人惊叹的商店。空处应是形容词作定语,修饰空后名词shops,amaze的形容词形式有两种,amazed感到惊奇的,通常修饰人,amazing令人惊奇的,通常修饰物,故填amazing。
4.答案 an

7.答案 which
解析 考查引导词。空处应填指代物的关系代词引导非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词museum,在从句中作主语。
8.答案 standing
解析 考查非谓语动词。句意:我母亲拍了一张我站在查尔斯王子和哈里王子中间的照片。空处应填stand的动名词形式,在句中作介词of的宾语。

解析 考查词性转换。句意:从那里我们乘出租车去了两位王子的家——白金汉宫,观看卫兵换岗仪式,但不幸的是我们看得不是很清楚,因为有成千上万的游客等着给仪式拍照。空处应填副词作状语修饰后边整个句子,结合we couldn't really see well,应用副词unluckily(不幸地)。
