While cities are known for being centers of culture and entertainment, small towns often have just as much to offer. The following are among the best small towns in the US.
ALASKA: Sitka
Population: 8,493
Sitka is located on Baranof Island, making it only accessible by plane or boat. Lying between mountains and the Pacific ocean, it gives residents splendid views and even incredible wildlife.
From whale watching to incredible hikes Sitka has everything an adventure traveler needs within a small town setting.
COLORADO: Crested Butte
Population: 1,681
Crested Butte, situated in the Rocky Mountains, is known for its flowers. In fact, the town is called the “Wildflower Capital of Colorado.” One of the town's most beautiful seasons is July, when it hosts the Wildflower Festival. The warmer months also offer 750 miles of biking trails and camping in the forest.In the winter, Crested Butte becomes a popular skiing destination.
LOUISIANA: St.Francisville
Population: 1,616
St.Francisville, Louisiana, is so peaceful and beautiful that it even made it to the big screen, becoming the set for movies like Tom Cruise's “Oblivion” and “The Maze Runner.” You can also explore historic plantations alongside some of the most beautiful scenes. The Bluffs is another attraction in town for those who love golf.
WISCONSIN: Stockholm
Population: 66
Lying along the Mississippi River, Stockholm, Wisconsin, has remained relatively untouched over the years. With just over 60 residents, Stockholm has no chain stores or restaurants in town.

Traveling with kids is 90 percent reminding yourself to live in the moment and 10 percent making up your mind to never again leave your house.
I have an uncanny ability to forget this as soon as we return home from a trip and I've finished washing piles of dirty clothes in our luggage and cleaning all the mess caused by the kids. Extremely tired and annoyed, I would actually begin to miss the place we just left!
Family travel is like childbirth, I suppose. Painful, loud, messy, sort of awful, actually, but also wonderful. And you remember only the wonderful—until you're back on a plane and your kids are fighting over who gets the aisle seat. Then you remember the bad stuff.
Last weekend, my kids and I flew to Texas for a trip we would have nothing to complain (抱怨) about—big hotel, wonderful view.
And yet—we found things to complain about. The pool was bigger in that other hotel! Why do you get to shower first? They call this coffee? Luckily, I've learned to put my metaphorical coat of armor (盔甲) on as soon as we land somewhere, and it forces complaints to bounce off me and land in a pile at my feet.
For three days, genuine fun was had and annoying complaints were heard and ignored, until it was time to catch a plane and fly home.
Unfortunately, our flight was canceled. We spent hours finding a hotel room. We hit the hotel pool before bed and swam well into the night, my kids making up songs and laughing so hard at their silly lyrics (歌词) and their crazy good fortune to be swimming at 10:30 on a school night.
And that was when it hit me that family travel is all those things I said before but it's also a lot more. It's taking your kids to parts of the world that will open their eyes and finding that actually, yours need opening too. It's remembering that joy and memories are where you make them, not where you find them.
4.What does the underlined word “uncanny” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A.Unknown. B.Uncertain.
C.Unexpected. D.Unusual.
5.According to the passage, family travel is like childbirth in that ________.
A.they both cause financial trouble and pain
B.they are both hard as well as rewarding
C.childhood memories come flooding back when they travel
D.both of them need many preparations
6.What does the sentence “I've learned to put my metaphorical coat of armor on” in Paragraph 5 mean?
A.She tries to deal with the complaints more wisely and properly.
B.She turns those annoying complaints into a means of educating kids.
C.She has improved her language skills when handling the complaints.
D.She has succeeded in escaping kids' fighting thanks to the armor.
7.From the author's experience in the passage, we CANNOT learn that ________.
A.family vacation benefits her kids as well as her
B.joy and memories should be created rather than discovered
C.the most unforgettable memory for her is about the complaints
D.she has to spend some time on housework after the family vacation
Ⅱ.语法填空
It isn't unusual for foreigners to experience some level of culture shock in China. The country is famed for 1.________ (it) unique culture, and you will have no shortage of new things 2.________ (explore) and learn about. China's fast development is likely to make the adjustment more 3.________ (comfort) for most new arrivals.
The language barrier can be 4.________ big challenge for foreigners. There are a few reasons for this. Apart 5.________ Chinese Mandarin, hundreds of other dialects exist. In some rural areas, 6.________ (disappointing), some people can't even speak Mandarin.
The second reason is 7.________ even though young people learn English nowadays, the education system doesn't give them many 8.________ (opportunity) to use it. This means that while many people can understand easy phrases, they're often quite shy when it comes to 9.________ (speak).
People generally don't bother translating things into English outside big cities, where the biggest numbers of foreigners 10.________ (find). As such, it's a good idea for foreigners to learn a few useful phrases in Chinese before arriving in the country.

A
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文,介绍了美国的几个小镇。
1.答案与解析:A 细节理解题。根据ALASKA: Sitka 部分的介绍及“splendid views and even incredible wildlife”可知, Sitka 有各种各样的探险活动,是冒险家的理想目的地。
2.答案与解析:C 细节理解题。根据COLORADO: Crested Butte中“One of the town's most beautiful seasons is July, when it hosts the Wildflower Festival.”和LOUISIANA: St.Francisville中“You can also explore historic plantations alongside some of the most beautiful scenes.”可知,这两个小镇都有着美丽的风景。
3.答案与解析:D 细节理解题。根据WISCONSIN: Stockholm中的内容可知, Stockholm之所以保留着原来的风貌,跟它独特的地理位置密不可分。
B
【语篇解读】 本文是夹叙夹议文。带孩子出游90%是提醒我们活在当下,10%是让我们下定决心不要离开自己的家,但带孩子出游会让全家受益。一次航班被取消,全家一起在宾馆度过的快乐时光让作者意识到快乐和回忆需要被创造而不是被发现。
4.答案与解析:D 词义猜测题。根据首段中“带孩子出游90%是提醒我们活在当下,10%是让我们下定决心不要离开自己的家”以及第二段中“I have an uncanny ability to forget this as soon as we return home from a trip...”可知,作者有一种不同寻常的能力就是出游一回到家就忘记这一点。A.unknown未知的; B.uncertain不确定的; C.unexpected出乎意料的; D.unusual 不同寻常的。这是一种不同寻常的能力。
5.答案与解析:B 推理判断题。根据第三段“Family travel is like childbirth, I suppose. Painful, loud, messy, sort of awful, actually, but also wonderful.”可知,作者认为家庭出游就像生孩子,痛苦,混乱,可怕但是也很奇妙。作者这样比喻是表示它们都很难却又有回报。
6.答案与解析:A 推理判断题。根据第五段“Luckily, I've learned to put my metaphorical coat of armor (盔甲) on as soon as we land somewhere, and it forces complaints to bounce off me and land in a pile at my feet.”以及第六段“For three days, genuine fun was had and annoying complaints were heard and ignored.”可知,作者更明智地处理孩子们的抱怨。
7.答案与解析:C 细节理解题。根据文章内容可知,作者已经学会了远离抱怨,而C项说作者最难忘的记忆是关于抱怨。
Ⅱ.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。很多外国人来到中国都会经历某种程度的文化冲击,文章对此现象解释了原因。
1.答案与解析:its 考查代词。句意:这个国家以其独特的文化而闻名,你将不会缺少新的东西去探索和学习。修饰名词culture应用形容词性物主代词。
2.答案与解析:to explore 考查非谓语动词。have things to explore表示“有东西去探索”,为常用搭配形式。
3.答案与解析:comfortable 考查形容词。此处作名词adjustment的宾语补足语应用形容词,构成“make sth.+adj.”结构。
4.答案与解析:a 考查冠词。句意:语言障碍对外国人来说是一个很大的挑战。此处是第一次提到challenge,故用不定冠词表泛指。
5.答案与解析:from 考查介词。句意:除了汉语普通话,还有数百种其他方言。apart from意为“除了”,为固定搭配。
6.答案与解析:disappointingly 考查副词。句意:在一些农村地区,令人失望的是,有些人甚至不会说普通话。修饰整个句子作状语应用副词disappointingly。
7.答案与解析:that 考查表语从句。句意:第二个原因是,即使现在的年轻人学习英语,教育系统并没有给他们很多机会使用它。表语从句中不缺少成分和意思,所以应用that引导。
8.答案与解析:opportunities 考查名词复数。many后应用可数名词复数。
9.答案与解析:speaking 考查动名词。句意:这意味着,虽然很多人能理解简单的短语,但他们在说话时往往很害羞。when it comes to...为固定句型,介词to后应用动名词作宾语。
10.答案与解析:are found 考查时态、语态和主谓一致。句意:在外国人最多的大城市以外,人们一般不会费事把东西翻译成英语。在定语从句中,动词find和主语foreigners构成被动关系。此处讲述客观事实,应用一般现在时。主语the biggest numbers of foreigners是复数。

参考范文:
Dear Li Hua,
I'm very glad to know that you will travel abroad to spend your winter vacation. I'd like to give you some tips that will help you travel safely and happily.
First of all, in order to enjoy your trip, you should learn about the language, history, culture and customs of the countries. Second, when travelling, keep an eye on the things you take, such as your ID card, passport, money and other valuable things. In addition, different countries may have different laws and customs, and you must obey local laws and customs. Finally, if you are in trouble, turn to a policeman or go to the Chinese embassy.
Have a good journey!
