Terracotta Army Discovered near Lintong,Xi’an,the army of Terracotta Warriors was constructed by China’s First Emperor Qinshihuang of the Qin Dynasty.It is a collection of thousands of life-size terracotta soldiers,horses and chariots in battle formation,showing the emperor’s armies in full splendor. Xi’an City Wall Xi’an City Wall was built in the 14th century by Zhu Yuanzhang,the first Emperor of the Ming Dynasty as a military defense system.Now it is one of the oldest and best-preserved Chinese city walls.The wall is now a landmark,dividing the city into inner and outer areas.When you take a walk or cycle on the massive wall,you can enjoy a good view of the city,the moat and the watchtowers. Giant Wild Goose Pagoda The Giant Wild Goose Pagoda was built in the Tang Dynasty for the study of Buddhist scriptures.One of the main functions of the pagoda was to store sutras and figurines brought to China from India by the famous monk and traveler Xuan Zang,who stayed here for 19 years translating Buddhist scriptures. Shaanxi History Museum The Shaanxi History Museum is home to over 370,000 precious relics unearthed in Shaanxi over the years.Its collections range from bronze wares to pottery figures,gold and silverwares and mural paintings from the Tang Dynasty tombs.Among its precious collections,18 pieces have been listed as national treasures. 1.What will you see when you visit the Terracotta Army?

B In October 2023,3-year-old Journey Castillo completed a quest to visit all 63 of America’s national parks.Her parents,Eric and Valerie Castillo,said she is likely the youngest person to reach that milestone. The family,from San Antonio,Texas,ended their travels with a trip to Katmai National Park and Preserve in Alaska.“Mission complete,” they wrote on Instagram.“After three years of adventure,countless logistics work and not giving up,we could not be more proud to share the conclusion of our quest.” Journey hasn’t been officially verified as the youngest traveler to visit all 63 parks.But more important than the title,her parents say,is the experience. “Our thing was:‘Let’s...inspire in Journey a passion for nature,inspire in her that she can handle the strenuous parts of the traveling:the environments,the weather changes,different cultures.’” Valerie Castillo told The Guardian’s Ramon Antonio Vargas. Before she could walk,Journey Castillo’s parents set out to visit every national park in the US.They hiked up Pikes Peak and explored Rocky Mountain National Park,all with an infant in tow.As far as they could tell,Journey seemed to enjoy herself. “We could see her little eyes open and take it all in,” Valerie Castillo told the San Antonio Express-News last year.“She was so aware,even being a few days old.She’s adapted so well.” They then ventured to Grand Canyon National Park—and decided to keep going.They set a goal of visiting 21 parks by Journey’s first birthday,then 42 parks by her second birthday.Eventually,they decided to go for all 63 parks.The family has been documenting every step of the way on Instagram and their website,Journey Go Explore. Reaching the last few parks on their list—all in Alaska—required lots of logistical management,including renting flights,ferry rides,and even special permission from the National Park Service to visit a seasonally closed park.Though their visit was challenging at times,the Castillos say it helped their daughter develop confidence.Journey walks fearlessly through airports and happily greets park rangers.“When she’s out at these parks,she comes to life,and her personality brightens up,” Eric Castillo said. 4.Why did Journey Castillo’s parents take her to visit all America’s national parks? A.To inspire others to be more active. B.To document their travels on Instagram. C.To inspire a passion for nature in Journey. D.To break a record as the youngest traveler. 5.What does the underlined word “strenuous” probably mean in the third paragraph? A.Identical. B.Appealing. C.Mild. D.Challenging. 6.What did the parents perceive about Journey during their visits to national parks? A.She was uninterested in the surroundings. B.She adapted well and seemed to enjoy herself. C.She preferred staying indoors with her parents. D.She only enjoyed specific environments and attractions. 7.How did Eric Castillo describe Journey’s personality during those travels? A.Shy and introverted. B.Reliable and anxious. C.Fearful and splendid. D.Enthusiastic and confident. C It’s getting close to midnight,and close to my destination—mile marker 133 on Alaska’s Glenn Highway,where I’m on the road to realize a lifelong dream.I’m going to see the northern lights. I am Scott’s only customer tonight,but whether it’s one person or a bridal party from Japan,the professional photographer and videographer loves to come out here to witness one of nature’s most spectacular shows—and to share it with others.“I can’t tell you how much joy I get from seeing the smile on people’s faces.That’s worth it right there.That’s the reason why I do tours,” he says. I emerge from the van into minus 6 degrees.A bazillion stars sparkle,and the Milky Way pours overhead.What looks like a gray stream of cloud arcs low over the horizon.“That’s it!” says Scott.Really?That’s it?I spent 13 hours in planes and airports,and then drove 2.5 hours to see a gray belt?“Patience,” he says.“It will get better.Wait till 2 am.That’s usually the best time.” Aurora(极光) tourism is combined with winter activities like ice fishing,snow machine rides,and hot springs.As aurora guides and scientists will tell you,there’s no guarantee of a sighting.But Fairbanks is a statistically good bet because of its northern location and freedom from coastal clouds,which can be a challenge for Anchorage.Travelers are recommended to put aside at least three nights to improve your chances of viewing,with the idea that you’ll be up much of the night each time. Each time he wakes me and I step outside,it appears more glorious.At first,a honeydew fuzz skitters along the horizon.Another time,a broad green line stretches across the sky,followed by a short tail.“Do you see the red?” Scott asks.He has me look through his camera.It can see more colors than the naked eye.Finally,as if playing a visual symphonic tune,a giant line of phosphorous(发磷光的) green seems to swoop down to the treetops and dollop them with a curlicue swirl.I’m smiling inside and out.We can go now. 8.What makes Scott like to do aurora tourism? A.The chance to take spectacular photos. B.The happiness of tourists. C.The party to enjoy the northern lights. D.His lifelong dream. 9.What can we infer about the author from paragraph 3? A.She felt very angry. B.She was quite thrilled. C.She was a little disappointed. D.She gradually lost her patience. 10.Why is Fairbanks an ideal place to enjoy the northern lights? A.It offers visitors a guaranteed sighting. B.It’s located in the Antarctic Circle. C.It has winter activities for travelers. D.It’s free from coastal cloudy weather. 11.What is the last paragraph mainly about? A.The beauty of aurora. B.Scott’s camera. C.The author’s departure. D.The shapes of northern lights. 参考答案 Ⅰ.1.to　2.behind　3.from　4.accompanied　5.adopting 6.blessed Ⅱ.1.on the move　2.Apart from　3.set out　4.live off　5.feed;on Ⅲ.1.While/When visiting the theme park　2.Picking up their tents　3.Whether you go to the park or go to the cinema　4.Visiting the Great Wall with Bob　5.It is hoped that Ⅳ.【语篇导读】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了西安的四个主要景点:秦始皇兵马俑、西安城墙、大雁塔和陕西历史博物馆。这些景点都是中国历史和文化的重要组成部分,展示了西安作为中国古代首都的悠久历史和丰富文化。 1.A　细节理解题。根据第二段可知,在参观秦始皇兵马俑时,我们会看到兵马俑。故选A项。 2.B　细节理解题。根据文章最后一段可知,如果对国家文物感兴趣,可以去参观陕西历史博物馆。故选B项。 3.A　推理判断题。根据全文内容尤其是第一段可知,文章主要介绍了西安的景点,这是旅行指南常涉及的内容。故选A项。 【语篇导读】本文是一则新闻报道。3岁的女孩Journey Castillo和父母一起在3年的时间里探索了美国63个国家公园。 4.C　细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Let’s...inspire in Journey a passion for nature”可知,Journey Castillo的父母带她一起游览美国所有的国家公园是为了让她产生对自然的热爱。故选C项。 5.D　词义猜测题。根据画线词后的内容“...the environments,the weather changes,different cultures”可知,旅行中遇到的环境、气候变化、不同的文化都是有比较困难的部分,strenuous意为“费力的,艰苦的”,和challenging(有挑战性的)意思最接近。故选D项。 6.B　细节理解题。根据第四段中的“As far as they could tell,Journey seemed to enjoy herself.”和第五段中的“She’s adapted so well.”可知,这对父母发现Journey在游览国家公园的过程中适应得很好,并且似乎玩得很开心。故选B项。 7.D　推理判断题。根据最后一段中Eric Castillo的话“When she’s out at these parks,she comes to life,and her personality brightens up”以及上文“it helped their daughter develop confidence”和“Journey walks fearlessly through airports and happily greets park rangers.”可知,Journey在旅行中非常热情、自信。故选D项。 【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者去看北极光的经历。 8.B　推理判断题。根据第二段中的“‘I can’t tell you how much joy I get from seeing the smile on people’s faces.That’s worth it right there.That’s the reason why I do tours,’ he says.”可知,游客的快乐让斯科特喜欢做极光旅游。故选B项。 9.C　推理判断题。根据第三段中的“‘That’s it!’ says Scott.Really?That’s it?I spent 13 hours in planes and airports,and then drove 2.5 hours to see a gray belt?”可知,作者有点失望。故选C项。 10.D　细节理解题。根据第四段中的“But Fairbanks is a statistically good bet because of its northern location and freedom from coastal clouds,which can be a challenge for Anchorage.”可知,费尔班克斯是欣赏北极光的理想之地,因为这里没有沿海多云的天气。故选D项。 11.A　段落大意题。根据最后一段中的“At first,a...green seems to swoop down to the treetops and dollop them with a curlicue swirl.”可知,最后一段主要讲的是极光之美。故选A项。 8 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
