Now, let’s explore something you need to learn about solo travel to Greece. Is Solo Travel in Greece Worth It? Yes! The country offers an experience that is perfect for solo travel. Public transport is convenient, especially between popular islands and main cities. The locals are friendly and often go out of their way to help tourists. Cultural sites like the Acropolis in Athens and the ancient ruins in Delphi are well-organized, making it easy to explore. Where Is Greece? Located in southeastern Europe, at the crossroads of Europe, Asia and Africa, Greece is most famous for its coastlines. The mainland offers rugged (崎岖的) mountains, ancient ruins (古代遗迹) and cities like Athens. Then you have the islands, which are divided into groups like the Cyclades, Ionian, Dodecanese and more. Each has its own beauty. Personally, I recommend adding a Cyclades island adventure to your journey. Getting To Greece Getting to Greece is easy, with most solo trips to Greece starting in Athens. Once you land in Athens Airport, flights to other cities and islands are frequent, especially booked in advance. If you are heading straight into Athens, use the subway and take the40-minute trip to start your solo travel in Athens. Best Time to Take a Solo Greece Trip When it comes to the best time for solo travel to Greece, it really depends. The high season (June to September) offers the best weather but also comes with crowds and higher prices. Come just after the rush (October and November) and it will be perfect.

With roots dating back nearly 4,000 years, drumming was historically used in celebrations and battles. Today, it remains a favorite at weddings, festivals, and national events. Face Changing (Bian Lian): An amazing act from Sichuan Opera, face-changing involves performers swiftly changing masks with a wave of the hand or fan. It is believed to date back 300 years. They say that the art form developed from a survival technique. People painted colourful designs on their faces to frighten wild animals. Other sources claim that BianLian is a Chinese version of Robin Hood, who stole from the rich and gave to the poor, would change his appearance when met with guards.

Passage 2 （24-25学年高一下·四川省遂宁市船山区遂宁绿然学校·期中） FOUR BEST BOOKSHOPS IN LONDON Looking for something to read while in London?

Daunt Books Are you going on a trip and want to read a fiction or nonfiction book set in the place you’re headed? This bookshop arranges books by country, so it’s easy to find anything by place. (83 Marylebone High Street. Monday-Saturday: 09:00-19:30; Sunday: 11:00-18:00.) Foyles Books Dig, if you will, the picture: four miles of shelves holding up to 200,000 books. This legendary (传奇的) bookshop is impossible to leave empty-handed. It was once listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as the biggest bookshop on the planet. (107 Charing Cross Road. Monday-Saturday: 9:00-21:00; Sunday: 11:30-18:00.) Hatchards In the year 1797, this London bookshop — the oldest in the city today — first flicked on its lights.

London Review Bookshop There’s an excellent selection of history, philosophy, politics, new fiction and many other genres here.

Passage 3 （24-25学年高一下·四川省合江县马街中学校·期中） Which book you should read based on your next travel destination Haruki Murakami’s “1Q84” is a dystopian adventure that’s perfect for the plane ride to Japan. Famed Japanese author Haruki Murakami creates an alternate 1984 called 1Q84 where nothing feels right and everything is slightly different. Set in Tokyo, Japan, this dystopian, mystery-filled fantasy novel is sure to keep your captivated during your trip. Bring “One Hundred Years of Solitude” to read in South America. A significant work of literature, Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s classic follows generations of the Buendia family as they live in their South-American town. Garcia Marquez’s magical realism paired with his lush descriptions makes the book a perfect read for visiting some of the breathtaking sights of South America. Consider picking up “The Great Gatsby” if you’re going to The Hamptons in New York. Although the “West Egg” and “East Egg” in the classic novel more greatly resemble the Great-Neck and Port-Washington peninsulas (半岛) on Long Island, F. Scott Fitzgerald is believed to have been inspired by the Hamptons when crafting this book. Set in the Jazz Age, the book’s decadence, hot summers, and longing for past lovers make it a great companion for pool hopping, charcuterie eating, and luxury shopping in The Hamptons. As you’re travelling around Amsterdam, read “The Fault in Our Stars”. Previously adapted into a film in 2014, John Green’s story of star-crossed teenagers famously includes a trip to Amsterdam. The Anne Frank House and The Rijksmuseum are two of many major destinations mentioned in the book.

These range from very large events which involve whole cities to local celebrations in tiny villages or neighborhoods of towns or cities. We have selected a few of the more unusual, colorful festivals from around the world. You can choose anyone you like best! The Million Ringgit Charity Duck Race: Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia Thirteen years ago, Eric Schechter and his friends were brainstorming to find new ways of raising money for local charities when they came up with the idea of rubber duck races.

And have no fear, Rural Metro Fire Department is on hand to offer plenty of water for the muddy children." Canberra Sled Dog Classic: Canberra, Australian Capital Territory, Australia Dog sledding is one of the fastest growing sports on the east coast of Australia.

Monday-Saturday: 9:00-21:00; Sunday: 11:30-18:00.) Hatchards In the year 1797, this London bookshop — the oldest in the city today — first flicked on its lights.

Famed Japanese author Haruki Murakami creates an alternate 1984 called 1Q84 where nothing feels right and everything is slightly different. Set in Tokyo, Japan, this dystopian, mystery-filled fantasy novel is sure to keep your captivated during your trip. Bring “One Hundred Years of Solitude” to read in South America. A significant work of literature, Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s classic follows generations of the Buendia family as they live in their South-American town. Garcia Marquez’s magical realism paired with his lush descriptions makes the book a perfect read for visiting some of the breathtaking sights of South America. Consider picking up “The Great Gatsby” if you’re going to The Hamptons in New York. Although the “West Egg” and “East Egg” in the classic novel more greatly resemble the Great-Neck and Port-Washington peninsulas (半岛) on Long Island, F. Scott Fitzgerald is believed to have been inspired by the Hamptons when crafting this book. Set in the Jazz Age, the book’s decadence, hot summers, and longing for past lovers make it a great companion for pool hopping, charcuterie eating, and luxury shopping in The Hamptons. As you’re travelling around Amsterdam, read “The Fault in Our Stars”. Previously adapted into a film in 2014, John Green’s story of star-crossed teenagers famously includes a trip to Amsterdam. The Anne Frank House and The Rijksmuseum are two of many major destinations mentioned in the book. Plus, the bench from the film adaptation of this novel has ever become its own tourist spot. 1．If you are into parallel existence and you are full of imagination, which book would you like to pick up? A．The Fault in Our Stars. B．One Hundred Years of Solitude. C．1Q84. D．The Great Gatsby. 2．Which one of the followings is NOT true? A．Generations of the Buentia family live in their South-American town. B．One Hundred Years of Solitude is a book mainly about sights of South America. C．“West Egg” and “East Egg” are both place names. D．The Great Gatsby is written by F. Scott Fitzgerald. 3．An excerpt from the book: One might marvel at the insanity (疯狂) of the situation: A mother sends her16-year-old daughter alone with a 17-year old boy out into a foreign city. According to the introduction mentioned above, which city is probably this foreign city? A．Tokyo. B．New York. C．Amsterdam. D．Sao Paulo. 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．C 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了四本前往旅行目的地时可以阅读的文学作品。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段中“Famed Japanese author Haruki Murakami creates an alternate 1984 called 1Q84 where nothing feels right and everything is slightly different. Set in Tokyo, Japan, this dystopian, mystery-filled fantasy novel is sure to keep your captivated during your trip. (日本著名作家村上春树创造了另一个1984，名为1Q84，在那里一切都感觉不对劲，一切都略有不同。以日本东京为背景，这本反乌托邦、充满神秘的奇幻小说一定会让你在旅途中着迷)”可知，《1Q84》这本书涉及平行存在，充满神秘，因此适合对平行存在感兴趣、充满想象力的读者。故选C项。 2．细节理解题。根据第二段中“A significant work of literature, Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s classic follows generations of the Buendia family as they live in their South-American town. (作为一部重要的文学作品，加布里埃尔·加西亚·马尔克斯的经典作品讲述了布恩迪亚家族几代人在南美小镇上的生活)”和第三段中“Although the “West Egg” and “East Egg” in the classic novel more greatly resemble the Great-Neck and Port-Washington peninsulas (半岛) on Long Island, F. Scott Fitzgerald is believed to have been inspired by the Hamptons when crafting this book. (虽然经典小说中的“West Egg”和“East Egg”更像长岛的大颈和华盛顿港半岛，但人们认为，弗·斯科特·菲茨杰拉德在创作这本书时受到了汉普顿斯的启发)”可知，布恩迪亚家族家族几代人都住在他们的南美小镇上，“West Egg”和“East Egg”都是地名，《了不起的盖茨比》是弗·斯科特·菲茨杰拉德写的，A、C、D与文意相符。根据第二段中“Garcia Marquez’s magical realism paired with his lush descriptions makes the book a perfect read for visiting some of the breathtaking sights of South America. (加西亚·马尔克斯的魔幻现实主义与他丰富的描写相结合，使这本书成为参观南美洲一些令人惊叹的景点的完美读物)”可知，B项“《百年孤独》是一本主要描写南美洲风景的书”与文意不符。故选B项。 3．推理判断题。根据第四段中“Previously adapted into a film in 2014, John Green’s story of star-crossed teenagers famously includes a trip to Amsterdam. (约翰·格林的故事曾于2014年被改编成电影，讲述了一群命运多舛的青少年，其中有一段著名的阿姆斯特丹之旅)”可知，《无比美妙的痛苦》这本书中包含青少年前往阿姆斯特丹的故事，再结合题干中“有人可能会对这种疯狂的情况感到惊讶：一位母亲把她16岁的女儿和一个17岁的男孩单独送到一个外国城市”的摘要可知，该摘要出自《无比美妙的痛苦》这本书，这座外国城市是阿姆斯特丹。故选C项。 主题 03 人与社会 —— 社会与文化 Passage 1 （24-25学年高一下·四川省达州市万源市万源中学·期中） Warm weather gets thousands of people to gather outdoors and celebrate for various events.

There are festivals going on somewhere in the world every day of the year. These range from very large events which involve whole cities to local celebrations in tiny villages or neighborhoods of towns or cities. We have selected a few of the more unusual, colorful festivals from around the world. You can choose anyone you like best! The Million Ringgit Charity Duck Race: Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia Thirteen years ago, Eric Schechter and his friends were brainstorming to find new ways of raising money for local charities when they came up with the idea of rubber duck races. The event, crazy as it may sound, involves racing "cool" rubber ducks down a local waterway and having members of the community "adopt" the ducks for a chance to win valuable donated prizes, possibly even $1 million bucks. La Tomatina: Bunol, Spain "The tomato battle is in honor of Saint Luis Beltran, the patron saint of Bunol. Residents and visitors take part in a tomato-throwing battle that decimates more than 88,000 pounds of tomatoes. This crazy event began with a serious aim as a symbolic protest against Franco. But the Tomatina is now celebrated as an amusing way to end the summer." Mighty Mud Mania: Scottsdale, Arizona, USA "Children's dreams really do come true in the City of Scottsdale. Children aged 1 to 13, get to participate in a mud race to end all mud races. During the running of the Mighty Mud Obstacle(泥坑) course, several mud pits strategically placed, provide wet and really dirty obstacles as kids compete for the fastest time in each heat. There are also mud puddle pools for the tiny tots, and a mini mud course for those six and younger. In addition, Mighty Mudway features water and mud games. There are also water slides, sandcastle buildings and fun for all ages. Moms and dads, remember to send your kids out with old clothes and shoes. And have no fear, Rural Metro Fire Department is on hand to offer plenty of water for the muddy children." Canberra Sled Dog Classic: Canberra, Australian Capital Territory, Australia Dog sledding is one of the fastest growing sports on the east coast of Australia. As there's no snow (the trail is earth and sand and is smooth and wide with a few hills and turns), the sleds have wheels instead of runners, but the excitement is the same. 1．Which of the following means the summer is over? A．Mighty Mud Mania. B．La Tomatina. C．Canberra Sled Dog Classic. D．The Million Ringgit Charity Duck Race. 2．What can you enjoy in all the four festivals mentioned? A．Fantastic activities.

You can choose anyone you like best!（我们从世界各地挑选了一些更不寻常、更丰富多彩的节日。你可以选择你最喜欢的节日!）是全文的主题句，结合全文内容，可知作者写这篇文章的目的就是介绍一些精彩绝伦，又非比寻常的节日。故此题选C。 / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
