Here are some best destinations to visit over the next 12 months.Xi’an, ChinaXi’an, China is supreme and then there’s the biggie (重要的事物)-the Army of Terracotta Warriors, celebrating 30 years as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2017.Xi’an is vast, but a relaxed way of living and recent openings have boosted an already superb a ccommodation market. A crop of new bars and cafes are thrown in here. There’s never been a better time to visit.South of Tokyo, JapanTwo cities in south of Tokyo are well worth visiting.Yokohama is just a 20-mixinte train journey from the capital and packs considerable appeal with its bayside location, architecture, beer and tasty cuisine.Less than an hour from Tokyo, fantastic seaside town Kamakura »s known for its surfing scene, but also offers an attractive selection of relaxed cafes and restaurants.Sri Lanka’s Hill CountrySri Lanka may be “so hot right now”, but Lonely Planet recommends a different experience.Try getting ahead of (and away from) the pack by taking a scenic train to Sri Lanka’s Hill Country for a wonderfully temperate escape from t he nation’s humid coasts.This island owns a mountainous interior that is every bit as scenic as the coast, blessed by pleasantly cool temperatures that rarely above 21℃.Raja Ampat, Indonesia“Raja” means “king” and this grand title is apparent. Packed wi th white-sand beaches, lush jungle and unusual mushroom-shaped small islands. Raja Ampat is a biological hotspot.Home to some of the richest, most diverse coral reefs on the planet—over 200 diving spots are still in a state of nature—and this, paired with a growing ecotourism (生态旅游) offering, means Raja Ampat will no doubt remain king of the islands.1．What can visitors do in Xi’an?A．Shop in a fantastic seaside town. B．Appreciate diverse heritage.C．Enjoy mushroom-shaped small islands. D．Experience planting crops by themselves. 2．Where is a surfer most likely to go?A．Yokohama. B．Raja Ampat.C．Kamakura. D．Sri Lanka’s Hill Country.3．Where is this text probably taken from?A．A fiction book. B．A private letter.C．A science report. D．A travel guidebook.It goes without saying, but bears repeating, there are too many cats and dogs without homes. While there are countless shelters and rescue centers that exist, some potential pet owners look to pet shops to find their furry friends. All too often, however, these animals come from puppy and kitten mills (繁殖场) that treat the creatures in cruel ways. San Francisco, however, is doing their part to stop this abuse with pet store adoption. Officials recently voted to ban the sale of non-rescue dogs and cats in local shops.The effect is two-fold. One, it will stop the popularity of the large-scale mills, which are famous for the miserable conditions cats and does are kept in. Two, it will help facilitate the adoption of thousands of animals that are waiting for their forever homes in San Francisco shelters. District 4 Supervisor Katy Tang, who serves on the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, supported law-making on the ban. “Dogs and cats sold in pet stores often come from inhumane puppy and kitten mills that treat animals with no regard for their health or well-being”, she wrote on Facebook. In her message, she also called on the U. S. Agriculture Department to reinstate information on its website that documents these types of animal cruelty cases—it was removed earlier this month.San Francisco’s law-making is a victory for those concerned about animal rights, and they aren’t the first city to pass this type of measure. Los Angeles, San Diego, Chicago, Philadelphia, Boston, and Austin also have similar laws in place, with hopefully more places to follow suit. 4．What happened to some dogs and cats before they got in the pet stores?A．They were treated cruelly.B．They were abandoned in streets.C．They received warm welcome.D．They were raised in shelters and rescue centers.5．Which of the following may Katy Tang agree with most?A．People should adopt the dogs and cats.B．Animals are too cruel to humans being.C．Government can choose to kill all the dogs and cats.D．It is not right to ban the sale of non-rescue dogs and cats in local shops.6．What does the underlined word “reinstate” in Paragraph 2 mean?A．update B．replaceC．post again D．download7．What does the last paragraph mainly focus on?A．No Chinese city joins this type of movement.B．San Francisco is the last city to ban pet stores.C．Americans care about animals more than humans.D．More and more cities are involved in animal rights.She sat at the picnic table alone. Recess (休息) was in full swing. She remained awkward around her classmates. She seemed unsure of what to do or say, yet I could see her eyes longing for acceptance. Many students had already decided that her friendship would not be worth the energy required to overcome the awkwardness. Others teased her. Most ignored her—except for one.Brianna, the class clown, was making the other students laugh, as usual. “Brianna, do you see Molly down there? Would you mind walking down there and inviting her to come up here with the rest of us?”Brianna sighed. I could tell she didn’t want to sacr ifice precious minutes of her own recess to do what I was asking of her, but I also knew her heart. She often thought of others before herself - a rare character for anyone, much less a kid.Knowing this choice was hard for her, I pulled out a D-buck, our class currency. Though bribery (行贿) was not the ideal way to handle this situation, I needed her cooperation.“Here, I’ll pay you for your time.”She offered an insincere smile, grasped the green paper, and headed down the hill.As the rest of the children screamed and laughed, my eyes locked on Brianna as she neared the picnic table. Molly could be difficult, and I wouldn’t have been surprised if she sentBrianna hack alone, refusing her invitation. When she encouraged herself to a standing position, I sighed with relief.A minute later, I felt a lap on my shoulder. “Here, Mrs. D．” She handed me the D-buck.“Why?” I asked.“I shouldn’t keep this.” Her eyes fell to her feet, guilt radiating from her quiet voice. “I don’t want Molly to think I only went to ge t her so I could earn a D-buck. She’s my friend.”A moment later, they were all laughing again, and who should I see among them, laughing for the first lime that week?

D．Puzzled.11．Which of the following can be the best tittle for the text?A．A D-buck B．A Strange GirlC．Power of a Smile D．How to Be a Great TeacherAstronauts on the International Space Station (ISS) may soon be able to turn their used forks and knives into tools and satellite parts.Tethers Unlimited Inc., an aerospace technology company, has developed a system that combines a waste recycling machine with a 3D printer.Astronauts will put waste items made of plastic into the recycling machine, called the Poistrusion Recycler. When they press a button, the Recycler will melt down the plastic and turn it into 3D filament (长丝).The filament will e used in a 3D printer on the ISS-called the Refabricator-to make tools, spare parts and satellite components.The waste will come from packaging materials, food containers, trays and eating utensils (器具) used on the ISS. Astronaut currently use disposable wet wipes to clean their food containers and utensils. The used wipes are stored as trash (垃圾), and replacement wipes must be sent up to the ISS on cargo missions.By recycling old food containers and utensils, astronauts will reduce the amount of trash they produce. To get rid of trash from the ISS, astronaut load it into empty cargo capsules (航天舱) and release it into space. The capsules burn up when they enter Earth’s atmosphere.Turning trash into useful new items will also help NASA save money because astronauts will need fewer supplies. It costs about $ 6,000 for every kilogram launched into orbit. These benefits will be even more important for longer missions in the future-such as the two-year journey to Mars. Astronauts will be able to recycle old waste materials into new tools and parts as they need them.Tethers have successfully tested the systems in its laboratory. They will test it on the ISS in late 2018. The company is also developing a version of the system for use here on Earth. 12．What material are the forks and knives for astronauts made of?A．Gold. B．IronC．Plastic. D．Wood.13．At present, the astronauts mainly get supplies by .A．3D printers B．reusing the old onesC．collecting from the space D．the capsules launched from the earth 14．What can the new technology help the astronauts do?A．Reuse the trash.B．Send the trash to Mars.C．Take the trash to the earth.D．Load the trash into empty capsules and throw it away.15．What is the biggest benefit of the new technology mentioned in the text?A．It can save some space for the ISS.B．It can gave more time for the astronauts.C．It can provide more conditions to explore space.D．It can help to reduce the journey from Earth to Mars.二、七选五Several things Beijingers do during wintertime In winter, Beijing offers the city’s fun-seekers many appealing options, from royal gardens to winter resorts.
