26、   Everyone loves travelling, right? Unfortunately, money can sometimes be a problem but not if you’re prepared. Here are my top tips for making the most of your travel experience, no matter how much you have in the bank!

Tip 1: Decide where you’ll go, based on your budget.

Knowing the average costs in a country can help you make the best decision. For example, countries like France, Italy, the UK and the USA can be pretty expensive to visit. On the contrary, Eastern Europe, South-East Asia and South America are cheaper and they still offer great cultural experiences and rich histories.

Tip 2: Choose relatively cheap accommodation.

Yes, everyone loves staying at a five-star hotel. But sadly, in a lot of places, this is just not realistic for those on a budget. In general, hostels (招待所) are a sure way to meet those travelers’ needs and this creates a great atmosphere. Camping is also a great choice for budget accommodation.

Tip 3: Don’t always rely on restaurants.

Eating meals in a restaurant can be very expensive, so you can easily save by cooking your own breakfast, lunch and dinner. Many cities have markets where you can buy fresh food and vegetables on the cheap.

Tip 4: Look for discounts on major attractions.

Obviously when you’re travelling you want to see everything the country has to offer, including the attractions which bring millions of people. But before paying a fee to see these, you can visit related websites to see if it’s possible to see them for less. Many tourist attractions have a student or youth discount and some attractions are free for everyone on certain days. By the way, do remember try to get there as early as possible, for they are possibly very crowded.

【1】If you travel for a low budget, which place should you choose?

A.The USA.

B.France.

C.England.

D.Thailand.

【2】What accommodation is generally a sure way for those on a budget?

A.Five-star hotel.

B.Hostel.

C.Camping.

D.Student dormitory.

【3】To see the major attractions economically, what should you do?

A.Look for discounts and get there as early as possible.

B.Get to the attractions when there are less visitors.

C.Try to get the free tickets as possible as you can.

D.Visit the websites and try to get tickets online.

27、Mark Twain was a great writer. He was from the USA. He was born in 1835. He was also a famous speaker. He was famous for his sense of humour. Many people liked to listen to him talk because he liked to tell some interesting stories to make people laugh all the time.

One day Mark Twain was going to a small town because of his writing. Before he was going to leave, one of his friends said to him that there were always a lot of mosquitoes in the town and told him that he’d better not go there. Mark Twain waved (摇动) his hand and said, “It doesn’t matter. The mosquitoes are no relatives of mine. I don’t think they will come to visit me.”

After he arrived at the town, Mark Twain stayed in a small hotel near the station. He went into his room, but when he was just about to have a rest, quite a few mosquitoes flew about him. The waiters felt very sorry about that. “I’m very sorry, Mr Mark Twain. There are too many mosquitoes in our town.” One of them said to him.

29、   In the far corner of the front yard of a large house in Florida rests an RV—Recreational Vehicle( 活动房屋式旅游车), shaded by trees as clothing on a nearby line sways(摇动) in the breeze. In this RV, National Geographic explorer Thomas Culhane lives with his wife, Enas, almost entirely off the grid—a lifestyle without depending on electricity supply.

Culhane began living off the grid in the late 1990s, when he went into the basement of his apartment building in Los Angeles and pulled the plug that delivered electricity. Even earlier though, he was first inspired by sustainable(不破坏生态平衡的) living during a trip in 1970 to visit his relatives. He was eight years old and worried that his stay in their small village was going to be miserable because his relatives told him they had no air conditioning or electricity— but they had plenty of fresh fruits from orchards (果园) and lots of cold drinks chilled by the icy stream from the ice caps of the nearby mountain. “This is amazing,”says Culhane.

He met Enas when she was living in an ecovillage in Portugal. Enas said she liked the feeling of being low impact, of being harmless to the earth. Culhane was attracted and fell in love with her. The couple got married, living on the same property(财产) that they currently have. They moved into their first home together—an RV which they immediately took completely off-grid.

Inside their RV, Culhane and Enas have hot showers, a working gas stove, a refrigerator, a washing machine and a big screen TV. They use gas created by their on-site biodigesters (生物煮解器) to cook on a gas-powered stove. They also use energy created by the biodigesters to heat their bath water. They feed the biodigesters using their own food waste— at no additional cost to the earth.

Sometimes on weekends, the RV is turned into a classroom. The couple host workshops to let the community members and students know living an off-grid life is getting easier and teach them how to respect and coexist peacefully with the environment.

【1】What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 2?

A.Add some background information.

B.Summarize the previous paragraph.

C.Provide some advice for the readers.

D.Introduce a new topic for discussion.

【2】What attracted Culhane most when he first met Enas?

A.Her marriage property. B.Their common life belief.

C.The beauty of her ecovillage. D.Her experience of exploration.

【3】What do the biodigesters produce?

A.Food waste. B.Additional costs.

C.Greenhouse gases. D.Alternative(可供选择的) energy

【4】What can be a suitable title for the text?

A.An RV Classroom

B.Living off the Grid

C.Getting Close to Nature

D.Protecting the Environment

30、   Have you ever shouted, “The rent is too damn high?” Shaking wall and hidden disgusting bugs? You’re not ________. The ancient Romans experienced the same annoyance with their apartments. From ________ landlords to sanitation problems, pests to smells, Roman urban living was no walk in the park.

Even in the very early days of Rome, people were crowded together in uncomfortable ________. This collection of animals of every kind mixed together, made life miserable for common citizens. And the close contact spread diseases.

Roman rented residence were called insulae, or islands, because they occupied whole blocks, with the roads flowing around them like water around an island. The insulae, often consisting of six to eight apartment blocks built around a staircase and central courtyard, ________ poor workers who couldn’t afford a traditional domus, or private house.

By the fourth century A.D., there were around 45,000 insulae in Rome, as ________ to fewer than 2,000 private homes. Many people were ________ into their quarters. Apartments on the lower floor would be the easiest for entry and exit – and therefore belong to the wealthy renters - while unfortunate individuals were ________ on higher floors in tiny rooms.

Though made of concrete brick, insulae were usually weakly built, ________ poor craftsmanship and little fund. They usually collapsed and killed passers-by. As a result, emperors restricted how high ________ could construct insulae. The maximum building height was 60 feet.

According to law then, builders were supposed to make walls at least an inch and a half thick, so as to ________ the safety of the building. However, it didn’t work so well, especially since building ________ were ignored by the landlords in order to save on the construction cost, and most renters were too poor to ________ landlords. Therefore, the life-threatening accidents usually happened. Even if insulae didn’t fall down, they could be so ________ as to be washed away in a flood. That’s about the only time their inhabitants would have access to clean natural water, since there was rarely in-home plumbing(水管)in an apartment.

What’s more, the insulae caught fire frequently leaving Rome with a vicious(恶意的)________ of houses burning down and collapsing, sales, then immediate reconstruction and fire once more time. Indeed, rather than being at the nature’s hands, some collapses were ________ since the greedy landlords keep on tearing down the existing insulae and replacing them with higher and larger monsters in pursuit of more rents.

31、根据课文内容填空（每空1～3词）

The awful night 【1】, and the dawn greyly broke on THE LACT DAY OF POMPEII! The crowd looked upwards, and saw, with 【2】, a huge cloud shooting from the top of the volcano. It took the form of a huge tree: the trunk, blackness, the branches, fire! This fire moved and changed in colour with every moment: now it was wildly bright, now of a 【3】red, and now again it burnt with 【4】.

The cries of women 【5】 ; the men looked at each other, but were silent. At that moment, they felt the earth shaking 【6】; beyond in the distance, they heard the crash of 【7】. A moment later, the mountain-cloud seemed to roll towards them, cark and rapid, like a river; at the same time, it threw out a shower of ashes and huge pieces of burning stone! Over the empty streets—over the forum—far and wide—with many a noisy crash in 【8】—fell that awful shower!

Each turned to fly—each running pressing pushing against the other. If, in the darkness, wife 【9】husband, or parent room child, there was no hope of their meeting again. Each 【10】and fearfully on. So came the earthquake...and so ended life in Pompeii.
