Welcome to Brazil, everyone, and thank you for booking our two-day Rio package tour! I just
know you’re all going to have an amazing time here! But first, I’m sure you’re all extremely tired
from the flight, so let’s drive to your hotel so
you can check in to your accommodation. Tomorrow,
we
will
visit
Rio’s
unique
icon,
the
statue
that
overlooks
and
protects
our
beautiful
city.
The
weather’s going to be hot again, so pack lots of water. Once we reach our destination, there will be
transport waiting to take you up the mountain. From the top, you can either take the elevator up to
the statue or hike your way up the 220 steps. You will have around an hour to admire the views,
before
we
move
on
to
our
next
site:
the
famous
Copacabana
Beach.
There
you
can
enjoy
the
beautiful sea views and a delicious barbecue lunch. Other than that, you will be free to explore the
rest of the day. If you visit the shopping and market areas, please be sure to request a receipt for
anything you purchase.

On the second day, we will visit Sugarloaf Mountain for some wonderful sights over the city
12

and sea. Then, after a buffet lunch, we’ll complete the day by visiting the Monastery of San Benito
and the Candelaria Church. For more details, please check the brochure in front of you. Thank you
once again; please enjoy the tour!

A Month-Long New Experience
A few years ago, I felt like life was always the same, so I decided to make a
(

__________
and
try
something
new
for
30
days.
The
idea

pretty
simple.
Think

something
you’ve
always

your

(

There’re a few things
I learnt
(

__________ doing these 30-day challenges. The first was

being
(

__________. One part of a

(

A
、
B
、
C
和
D
四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

Dear friend, do you have a plan for the coming holiday? Recently, Novel-Travel, one of the
world’s bi
ggest travel guides, published its top-three travel trends
(
新潮流
)
that might change the
way we travel this year.
Augmented
(
增强的
)

attractions.
The
ever-improving
headsets,
smartphones,
and
Wi-Fi
connections are technologies that can help to open up a whole new world of museums, zoos, and
12

theme parks. For example, the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History in the US has
created an augmented reality app to help visitors enjoy its exhibits. People can view a sea cow
growing flesh
(
肉
)
or a bird demonstrating
(
展示
)
how it catches fish.
Road trips with electric vehicles
(
交通工具
)
.
Today many people are choosing to reduce
their carbon footprint
(
碳足迹
)
by driving an electric vehicle
(
EV
)
on their trips. On a warm,
sunny day, they love to hit the road without the drone
(
嗡嗡的声音
)
of a gas-guzzling
(
耗油的
)

engine so they can fully enjoy nature. Another advantage of EVs is that we may find ourselves
stopping
for
a
while
to
recharge
in
a
place
we
perhaps
never
imagined
visiting.
It
“presents
a
perfect opportunity to stop and
smell the roses”, wrote Novel
-Travel.
Getting under the stars.
When was the last time you looked at the stars twinkling in the sky?
Thanks
to
the
increasing
number
of
designated
(
指定的
)

dark-sky
parks,
travellers
can
now
combine seeing a new place with viewing the stars. So what makes us feel so interested in looking
into the skies? “A hundred thousand generations of homo sapiens
(
智人
)
before us saw the Milky
Way every night,” J. Thomas Beckett, board chair of
the
US Clark Planetarium, told AA
TV
. “It’s
in our
DNA.”

( )
1
．
Which of the following is the most important thing if a tourist wants to enjoy an
augmented attraction?
A. Technology.
B. Time of visit.
C. Transportation.
D. Special museum building.
( )
2
．
The underlined phrase “hit the road”
in Paragraph 3 most probably means to
_________.
A. smell roses
B. start a journey
C. fully enjoy nature
D. drive an electric vehicle
( )
3
．
What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. There are fewer stars than ever twinkling in the sky.
B. People can see stars only in special places nowadays.
