Coney Island Coney Island beach is the perfect place to relax away from the crowds. This hidden destination offers a couple of sandy spots to relax — whether you’re walking or cycling around Coney Island. It is definitely one of the best beaches to visit alone for a therapeutic (治愈的) experience. Pulau Hantu This island has a quiet beach far from busy tourist spots. The island consists of two small islands that join at low tide. There’s soft white sand and clear blue-green water here, teeming with (充满) colorful corals and marine life.

As Jane Eyre says: “It is in vain to say human beings ought to be satisfied with tranquility: they must have action; and they will make it if they cannot find it.” Luckily, here are some of the best adventure books, which might make the act of finding action easier for you! Click on the book name for detailed information. Jaws by Peter Benchley The 1974 book inspired Steven Spielberg’s blockbuster movie — which then made beach attendance drop dramatically in 1975. Jaws is the story of three men’s quest to kill a human-eating great white shark. It’s a high-stakes adventure on the sea, which holds more dangers than anyone could have ever imagined. Children of the Comet by Donald Moffitt In the far future, a small community lives in space and harvests frozen air to make a living. But what happens when hunters from neighboring comets — and humans on starships — appear on the scene? This is a cosmic adventure in a very literal sense, as our young hero, Torris, tries to survive on a comet made entirely of ice. Children of the Apes by Edgar Rice Burroughs This book launched the legend of an orphaned boy who is adopted by apes in the African jungle. Named Tarzan, the boy eventually has to prove himself on two fronts: the animal kingdom and the even more threatening world of humans. Raptor Red by Robert T. Bakker Unlike any other book out there, Raptor Red is told entirely from the third-person point of view of Raptor Red, a female Utahraptor. Robert T. Bakker, the author, expertly draws upon heartfelt research about the Cretaceous Period to bring a prehistoric Earth to life as Raptor Red struggles to survive in a dinosaur-eat-dinosaur world. 1.A fan of space exploration might be interested in .

These places show you traditions, communities and history - and inspire you to dig deeper. National WWII Museum, New Orleans, the US The National WWII Museum has several buildings, each covering different aspects of the war. Late last year, it opened the Liberation Pavilion, which explores the final years of the war. Visitors can step into re-creations of the secret building in Amsterdam where Anne Frank’s family lived and the salt mine where people uncovered treasured works of art hidden by the Nazis. Liamuiga Natural Farms, St. Kitts On Phillips Mountain, in St. Kitts, this coffee farm has recently started hosting three-course lunches for visitors. The Kellys and the Mikes, the two families run the farm, serve dishes using local produce and specialties including chips, saltfish and homemade coffee ice cream. “As you explore Liamuiga Natural Farms, you’re not just a guest,” says co-owner Tiffany Mike, “you’re a part of our work to protect the environment, uphold Kittiian traditions, and create a better future.” Canadian Canoe Museum, Ontario, Canada What is one of the best things about visiting the world’s largest collection of canoes (独木舟)? You can actually paddle (划船) up to it. The boat-shaped building, which has its opening in May, is located by the lakeside in Peterborough. After admiring the museum’s collection or taking a lesson in making paddles from Anishinaabe artists, visitors can start a group boat tour of Little Lake. NorEste Trail, Puerto Rico An hour’s drive east of San Juan, Puerto Rico’s first backpacking path, the NorEste Trail lets visitors “hike in a rainforest, be on a mountaintop in the clouds, and go to the beach, all in the same day,” El Yunque forest supervisor (主管) Keenan Adams said. Organizations like Love in Motion connect hikers with local culture through family-owned traditional food stands along the 40-mile journey. 1.What does the Liberation Pavilion focus on? A. The rise of a city. B. The end of WWII. C. American artists. D. Modern buildings. 2.What is a purpose of Liamuiga Natural Farms? A. To cover latest events. B. To show how to make a meal. C.

Canadian Canoe Museum. 【答案】1. B　2. C　3. A 【解析】【导语】 这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了四个适合游玩的景点。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据National WWII Museum, New Orleans, the US部分中“Late last year, it opened the Liberation Pavilion, which explores the final years of the war. (去年年底，它开放了解放馆，探索了战争的最后几年)”可知，Liberation Pavilion聚焦二战末期的历史。故选B。 (2)题解析： 细节理解题。根据Liamuiga Natural Farms, St. Kitts部分中““As you explore Liamuiga Natural Farms, you’ re not just a guest,” says co-owner Tiffany Mike, “you’re a part of our work to protect the environment, uphold Kittiian traditions, and create a better future.” (“当你探索Liamuiga自然农场时，你不仅仅是一个客人，”共同所有者Tiffany Mike说，“你是我们工作的一部分，保护环境，维护基蒂亚传统，创造更美好的未来。”)”可知，开办 Liamuiga Natural Farms的目的之一是为了弘扬当地的传统。故选C。 (3)题解析： 细节理解题。根据NorEste Trail, Puerto Rico部分中“An hour’s drive east of San Juan, Puerto Rico’s first backpacking path, the NorEste Trail lets visitors “hike in a rainforest, be on a mountaintop in the clouds, and go to the beach, all in the same day,” El Yunque forest supervisor (主管) Keenan Adams said. (在波多黎各第一条背包旅行路线圣胡安以东一小时车程的地方，诺雷斯特步道让游客“在雨林中徒步，在云中登上山顶，去海滩，所有这些都在同一天完成，”埃尔云克森林主管基南亚当斯说。)”可知，NorEste Trail对那些热爱丛林探险的游客有吸引力。故选A。 Passage 5 （25-26高一上·广东汕头金山中学·期中）Special Museums In Christchurch, New Zealand 1.

A soup kitchen is a place where free food (usually soup and bread) is served to the homeless without judgment or discrimination (歧视). These places are usually run by charitable (慈善的) or religious organisations and staffed by volunteers. In reality, however, a soup kitchen is so much more than that. What Does a Soup Kitchen Do? Soup kitchens have become a place of refuge (避难所) for those less fortunate souls. It gives them hope that all is not lost and there are still people who care for them. Here, they are not judged, discriminated against, or made to feel like they’re worthless. Instead, they are cared for and treated as equals. The most important thing a soup kitchen does, however, is providing the homeless with a sense of belonging. For someone who doesn’t have a place of their own, this is a big deal. How Do Soup Kitchens Help the Community? Throughout history and in most cultures, the sharing of food to the less fortunate is a common practice. Society has always felt a moral obligation to help its most vulnerable members. Not only does it encourage charity, but it also brings the community together. It helps break social boundaries as rich and poor, young and old gather together to share a meal. More importantly, it teaches young children the importance of empathy (同理心). Why Is a Soup Kitchen Called a Soup Kitchen? Since ancient times, charitable organisations have been serving soup to the poor and hungry. A hot soup can be very filling, making it the ultimate food choice for relief organisations with limited resources. Then during the Great Depression, these types of food assistance places became more well-known in the US. People would line up in these places (which usually featured large kitchens) to get their daily ration (定量) of soup and bread. And that’s how the term “soup kitchen” came about. 1.A soup kitchen is a place where ________. A. homeless people act as volunteers B. free food is served to the homeless C. charitable organisations hold activities D. people are judged by what food they eat 2.What is the most important thing a soup kitchen provides? A. Life value. B. Social acceptance. C. Health care. D. Racial equality. 3.What is mentioned about a soup kitchen in the last paragraph? A. The reason for its popularity. B. The variety of its food. C. The change of its resources. D. The origin of its name. 【答案】1. B　2. B　3. D 【解析】【导语】 这是一篇应用文。文章介绍施食处是为无家可归者提供免费食物的地方，还给予归属感，能凝聚社区、培养同理心，并解释其因大萧条时提供汤和面包得名。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第一段“A soup kitchen is a place where free food (usually soup and bread) is served to the homeless without judgment or discrimination (歧视).(“施粥所”是一个为无家可归者提供免费食物（通常是汤和面包）的场所，这里不会对他们进行评判或区别对待)”可知，“施粥所”是指为无家可归者提供免费食物的地方。故选B。 (2)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第三段“The most important thing a soup kitchen does, however, is providing the homeless with a sense of belonging.(然而，慈善厨房最重要的作用在于让无家可归者感受到归属感)”可知，慈善厨房所提供最重要的东西是社会认可。故选B。 (3)题解析： 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Since ancient times, charitable organisations have been serving soup to the poor and hungry. A hot soup can be very filling, making it the ultimate food choice for relief organisations with limited resources. Then during the Great Depression, these types of food assistance places became more well-known in the US. People would line up in these places (which usually featured large kitchens) to get their daily ration (定量) of soup and bread. And that’s how the term “soup kitchen” came about.(自古以来，慈善组织就一直在为穷人和饥饿者提供汤食。热汤很有饱腹感，因此对于资源有限的救援组织来说，它是最理想的食品选择。在大萧条时期，这类提供食物援助的场所在美国变得更加为人所知。人们会聚集在这些场所（通常设有大型厨房）里，领取他们每天定量的汤和面包。就这样，“施粥所”这个术语便应运而生了)”可知，施粥所名字的由来。故选D。 Passage 2 （25-26高一上·广东广州西关外国语学校·期中）Gap Year Volunteer Abroad Programme Ready to break free from the ordinary and start an exciting journey of change?

It was reported that people living in the disaster-stricken areas were forced to leave their houses and seek shelter in nearby towns. Monsoon Storms A south-west monsoon has caused great damage in parts of Sri Lanka. Government meteorologists said that unexpected monsoonal winds blew directly across the country from the southern part of the earth at about 100km/h, producing several rounds of stormy weather. Nearly 250 houses in the capital Colombo were damaged. Mt Etna Eruption Sicily Mount Etna volcano erupted shortly after midnight on July 1, shooting “bombs” of lava (岩浆) on the eastern side of the mountain. The 30-minute eruption could be seen for several miles but did not threaten any nearby villages. Hurricane Hurricane Blas lost its power as it moved over cooler waters in the Pacific Ocean to the west of Mexico. Blas formed off southwest Mexico during the last week, but the outer part of the storm swept western Michoacan State, killing four people when their wood and cardboard home fell down. Monkey Repellent After years of unsuccessful attempts to keep crop-eating monkeys out of Japanese fields, a Tokyo research team believes that it may have finally found a way to prevent the damage caused by the monkeys. Animal ruin of crops was successfully prevented by shooting chili powder into the air, irritating the eyes and noses of monkeys that passed in front of carefully placed warning. “We’ve tried all kinds of preventive measures, but the monkeys are bright enough to outsmart the tricks,” said Toshiaki Wada, Director of the Tokyo Forestry Experiment Station in western Tokyo. 1.According to the text, which natural disaster might have caused the least damage to residents? A. Storms. B. Monsoon Storms. C. Mt Etna Eruption. D. Hurricane. 2.How did Toshiaki Wada describe the monkeys? A. Clever. B. Powerful. C. Destructive. D.

As Jane Eyre says: “It is in vain to say human beings ought to be satisfied with tranquility: they must have action; and they will make it if they cannot find it.” Luckily, here are some of the best adventure books, which might make the act of finding action easier for you!

But what happens when hunters from neighboring comets — and humans on starships — appear on the scene? This is a cosmic adventure in a very literal sense, as our young hero, Torris, tries to survive on a comet made entirely of ice. Children of the Apes by Edgar Rice Burroughs This book launched the legend of an orphaned boy who is adopted by apes in the African jungle. Named Tarzan, the boy eventually has to prove himself on two fronts: the animal kingdom and the even more threatening world of humans. Raptor Red by Robert T. Bakker Unlike any other book out there, Raptor Red is told entirely from the third-person point of view of Raptor Red, a female Utahraptor. Robert T.

A soup kitchen is a place where free food (usually soup and bread) is served to the homeless without judgment or discrimination (歧视). These places are usually run by charitable (慈善的) or religious organisations and staffed by volunteers. In reality, however, a soup kitchen is so much more than that. What Does a Soup Kitchen Do? Soup kitchens have become a place of refuge (避难所) for those less fortunate souls. It gives them hope that all is not lost and there are still people who care for them. Here, they are not judged, discriminated against, or made to feel like they’re worthless. Instead, they are cared for and treated as equals. The most important thing a soup kitchen does, however, is providing the homeless with a sense of belonging. For someone who doesn’t have a place of their own, this is a big deal. How Do Soup Kitchens Help the Community? Throughout history and in most cultures, the sharing of food to the less fortunate is a common practice. Society has always felt a moral obligation to help its most vulnerable members. Not only does it encourage charity, but it also brings the community together. It helps break social boundaries as rich and poor, young and old gather together to share a meal. More importantly, it teaches young children the importance of empathy (同理心). Why Is a Soup Kitchen Called a Soup Kitchen? Since ancient times, charitable organisations have been serving soup to the poor and hungry. A hot soup can be very filling, making it the ultimate food choice for relief organisations with limited resources. Then during the Great Depression, these types of food assistance places became more well-known in the US. People would line up in these places (which usually featured large kitchens) to get their daily ration (定量) of soup and bread. And that’s how the term “soup kitchen” came about. 1.A soup kitchen is a place where ________. A. homeless people act as volunteers B. free food is served to the homeless C. charitable organisations hold activities D. people are judged by what food they eat 2.What is the most important thing a soup kitchen provides?

It was reported that people living in the disaster-stricken areas were forced to leave their houses and seek shelter in nearby towns. Monsoon Storms A south-west monsoon has caused great damage in parts of Sri Lanka. Government meteorologists said that unexpected monsoonal winds blew directly across the country from the southern part of the earth at about 100km/h, producing several rounds of stormy weather. Nearly 250 houses in the capital Colombo were damaged. Mt Etna Eruption Sicily Mount Etna volcano erupted shortly after midnight on July 1, shooting “bombs” of lava (岩浆) on the eastern side of the mountain. The 30-minute eruption could be seen for several miles but did not threaten any nearby villages. Hurricane Hurricane Blas lost its power as it moved over cooler waters in the Pacific Ocean to the west of Mexico. Blas formed off southwest Mexico during the last week, but the outer part of the storm swept western Michoacan State, killing four people when their wood and cardboard home fell down. Monkey Repellent After years of unsuccessful attempts to keep crop-eating monkeys out of Japanese fields, a Tokyo research team believes that it may have finally found a way to prevent the damage caused by the monkeys. Animal ruin of crops was successfully prevented by shooting chili powder into the air, irritating the eyes and noses of monkeys that passed in front of carefully placed warning. “We’ve tried all kinds of preventive measures, but the monkeys are bright enough to outsmart the tricks,” said Toshiaki Wada, Director of the Tokyo Forestry Experiment Station in western Tokyo. 1.According to the text, which natural disaster might have caused the least damage to residents?
