Are you a volcano lover? Here is a list of some of the world’s most beautiful
volcanoes that our travel agency can offer you to visit. Don’t miss them!
Mount Mayon, the Philippines
Located about 450 km southeast of Manila on the island of Luzon, Mount Mayon
is the most active volcano in the Philippines; a September 2014 eruption forced
thousands to flee the area. Those who hike the volcano are rewarded with views of
the towns on the Albay province and the Pacific Ocean. But even those who prefer
the view from a distance have historical good point at the Cagsawa Ruins, once an
18 Century Franciscan church that was destroyed by an 1814 eruption.
Kilauea and Mauna Kea, Hawall
Hawaii’s volcanoes are known for their active eruptions and extraordinary
scenes. Mauna Kea is around one million years old, while Kilauea is the youngest
volcano in Hawaii and has been erupting continuously since 1983. The lava falls
straight into the sea, creating fantastic forms of black rocks and smoke clouds.
Mount Kelimutu, Indonesia
Kelimutu’s three mysterious crater lakes attract both scientists and tourists
to the island of Flores in Indonesia’s East Nusa Tenggara province. One is emerald

Photography has been my interest ever since I was old enough to pick up a camera,
but today I want to share with you the 15 most treasured photos of mine, and I didn’t
take any of them. There were no art directors, no stylists, no chance for reshoots,
not even any regard for lighting. In fact, most of them were taken by random tourists.
My story begins when I was in New York City for a speech, and my wife took a
picture of me holding my daughter on her first birthday. We’re on the corner of
the 57 and 5 avenue. We happened to be back in New York exactly a year later, so
we decided to take the same picture.
Well you can see where this is going. Approaching my daughter’s third birthday,
my wife said, “Hey, why don’t you take Sabina back to New York and make it a
father-daughter trip, and continue the ceremony?” This is when we started asking
passing tourists to take the picture.
So these photos are far more than representatives for a single moment, or even
a specific trip. They’re also ways for us to freeze time for one week in October
and reflect on our times and how we change from year to year, and nor just physically,
but in every way. Because while we take the same photo, our viewpoints change, and
she reaches new milestones and I get to see life through her eyes, and how she
communicates with and sees everything. This very focused time we get to spend
together is something we value and expect the entire year.
4. What can we know about the author from the first paragraph?
A. He is fond of being photographed alone.
B. He hardly ever asks strangers to take pictures of him.
C. He has been interested in photography since childhood.
D. He’s proud of the 15 most treasured photos taken by himself.
5. Who came up with the idea of having a father-daughter trip when Sabina was 3

thth
years old?
A. Her mother. B. Her father.
C. Sabina herself D. An unknown tourist.
6. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that .
A. children usually get to see life through adults’ eyes
B. the 15 photos are meaningful to the author’s family
C. it takes the author a whole week to have a family photo taken
D. the viewpoints of the author’s family never change with the time.
7. What can be the best title of the text?
A. Believe it or not; photos do change
B. Photos help a family become rich
C. Even strangers can help take photographs
D. A father-daughter bond, one photo at a time

C
A castle is a type of fortified（加固的）structure built in Europe and the Middle
East during the Middle Ages. This is different from a palace, which is no
fortified-though there are many similarities among these types of construction.
Usage of the term has varied over time and has been applied to diverse structures.
The European castles originated in the 9 and 10 centuries, resulting in its
land divided among nobles. These nobles built castles to control the area surrounding
them, and they were both offensive and defensive structures. Although army uses are
often emphasized in castle studies, the structures also served as centres of
administration and symbols of power. Urban castles were used to control the local
people and important travel routes, and rural castles were often built near farmland.
Many castles were originally built from earth and wood, but had their defences
supplanted later by stone. In the late 12 and early 13 centuries, scientific
approaches to castle defence appeared, and could function to maximize the castle’s
firepower. These changes in defence came from a mixture of castle technology.
Although gunpowder was introduced to be built well into the 16 century, improved
cannon（大炮）fire made them uncomfortable places to live in. As a result, true castles
went into decline.
From the 18 century onwards, there was a renewed interest in castles with the
construction of mock（仿造的）castles, part of a romantic revival（复活）of Gothic
architecture, but they had no defensive purpose.
8. According to the first paragraph, we can know .
A. the palace is a fortified structure
B. the castle is different from the palace
C. the palace changed over time
D. the structures of the castle in different ages look the same.

9. what does the second paragraph mainly talk about?
A. Symbols of the European castles.
B. Functions of the European castles.
C. Influences of the European castles.
D. Characteristics of the European castles.
10. The underlined word “ supplanted ” in the third paragraph is closet in meaning
to “ “.
A. produced B. saved C. protected D. replaced
11. What can be inferred from the river?
A. Castles have nothing in common with palaces.
B. Castles have a history of more than 1,000 years in Europe.
C. Castles were mainly used for defensive purposes after the 18 century.D.
The introduction of gunpowder instantly influenced castle building in Europe.

Your car is a necessary part of your life. You use it every day. Of course, you
want to hold on to it so you make sure it has the latest alarm and immobilizer. But
despite all these, cars like yours are still stolen every day. In fact, in this
country, one car is stolen almost every minute! And if your car is stolen, you only
have a 50:50 chance of seeing it again.
Each year, car crime costs nearly ?3 billion. Of course, if you’re insured,
you won’t lose out, or will you? Firstly, you will have to pay extra insurance later
on, and then you may not be offered the full amount by the agent. You will probably
have to hire a car and you will also lose the value of the contents and accessories
(配件) in the car.
Now comes the solution. An RAC Trackstar system, hidden in one of 47 possible
secret locations in your car, is the key of our system. If your car is stolen, radio
signals are sent at twenty- second intervals from the car to the RAC Trackstar
National Control Center via a satellite network. Then a computer gives the vehicle’s
exact location, speed and direction.
The RAC Trackstar National Control Center, which operates 24 hours a day, 365
days a year, will immediately inform the police in the area where the car is located.
Because the police receive information every twenty seconds, they will always know
the vehicle’s location. Once the thief has been arrested, your car will be returned
to you.
RAC Trackstar is unique in being able to provide the National Control Center
with details of the exact location of your car, its speed and direction. And speed
is the key to successful recovery of a stolen vehicle. RAC Trackstar Control will
immediately tell the police if you report your car stolen and under the 24-hour
Guardian Option. It will also tell you if your car has been stolen. RAC Trackstar’s
constant updates mean the police are kept informed of the car’s location. All these

The Greeting Card Association reports that Americans purchase 6.5 billion
greeting cards each year. 16 Here’s a look at ways to reduce your holiday
greeting card costs.
? Gold digital.
17 Add photos or video to make your e-cards more personal.
? 18
If you plan to mail your cards, remember to consider postage costs. Square cards
look cool,
but they cost more than a regular stamp to mail because they’re not a standard size.
If cost is a consideration, stick to rectangular（矩形的）cards and avoid too heavy
ribbons that increase your mailing costs.
? Look at unexpected sources.
You don’t have to order custom greeting cards with your family’s photo. 19
Check
dollar stores or even garage sales for affordable greeting cards. The best part is
that when these cards don’t have a photo or the year printed on them, you can use
any leftovers in the future.

? Make your own.
Use old greeting cards(with written messages cut out,of course), wrapping paper
and ribbons,
or magazine photos to create your own holiday cards.

Starting from Dec. 26, sellers who want to clear out holiday stocks will deeply
discount cars,
wrapping paper and decorations. 20
