13、Many young people all over the world love to travel and see the world. Have you heard of backpackers? They are normally young people who travel cheaply with just one rucksack(背包) and comfortable walking boots. They buy local food in supermarkets to save money and at the same time become friends with local people.

Some people prefer adventure tours. Brave people may try bungee jumping from the bridge overlooking the Victoria Falls in Africa with only a rope around their legs.Some enjoy the challenge of rock climbing in the Alps in Switzerland. Others may go snowboarding in the Rocky
Mountains in the USA．
Have you ever heard of an ecotourism (生态旅游)? It rr;eans a holiday in which people come close to nature but are very careful not to damage the nature beauty or living things in the area. How can this be possible? Let's read an interview with people who enjoyed a swimming with dolphins tour.
Interviewer what was the most exciting part ofyour holiday?

Interviewer Did you feel that your holiday helped local people and areas to keep their beautiful
environment?
Jane from New Zealand The hotel and the whale and dolphin watching comparues employ(雇佣) local people. They used to hunt those whales and dolphins, but now they can eam money from tourism and don't have to kill them. Not many boats are allowed at the same time so these animals aren't bothered. The boat companies also work to educate the local schools about the importance of protecting these wonderful creatures.
Helen from England I am glad they are not killing the whales and dolphins any more, but the cars and boats use fuel which could cause pollution and make the sea less clean.
Well, what do you think? Thousands of people visit the Forbidden City or the Great Wall of China every year. Do you think that's a good thing, or do you feel that China's important historical sites can be damaged? Are there any ways of sharing your treasures (珍宝) but keeping them in good condition?

14、
In many – even most – space-themed films, whenever Earth faces a disaster, the solution is always fleeing the planet in spaceships. But the latest Chinese sci-fi movie, The Wandering Earth offers a different and more ambitious idea.
In the film, based on a short story by Chinese sci-fi writer Liu Cixin, Earth is in danger of being destroyed by the dying sun. In response, humans around the world work together to build a giant engine system that will push Earth away from the sun. Instead of abandoning Earth again – this time we’re taking it with us.
This “ambition” didn’t come from nowhere. For thousands of years, “homeland” has had a soft spot in the hearts and minds of Chinese people. One old idiom is luoyeguigen, which means returning to one’s homeland in old age, like fallen leaves returning to the roots of their tree. Or look to an ancient verse: “The season called the White Dew begins tonight/Nowhere as in our native place is the moon so bright”. These both show the tight bond that Chinese people have had with their homeland.This special cultural background is probably what sets The Wandering Earth apart from Hollywood-style space films.
“What is Chinese sci-fi?” Guo Fan, the film’s director, said in an interview. “A vehicle that can really express our cultural and spiritual core can be called Chinese sci-fi. Otherwise, we’re just imitating others and telling the same American stories.”
And the makers of The Wandering Earth may have chosen the best time to tell its Chinese sci-fi story. The film was released on Feb 5, the first day of Chinese New Year. It was a time when many people had just made the hard journey back to their hometowns.
So to them, there is only one possible way to tell the story: Earth goes wherever humans go, because it’s our home.
1．What is the difference between The Wandering Earth and Hollywood-style space films?
A．A different and more ambitious idea. B．Its Chinese makers.
C．The story with great imagination. D．The specical cultural background.
2．What does the underlined word ‘abandoning’ mean in Chinese?
A．抛弃 B．毁灭 C．依赖 D．索取
3．The makers of this film choose Feb 5 to put on it probably because ________.
A．it was the Spring Festival and many people have time to watch it
B．many old people want to return to their hometown then
C．it can cause many people’s common feeling at this time
D．Chinese people usually celebrate together on that day
4．What can we learn from the passage?
A．This film was based on a short story by Chinese sci-fi writer Guo Fan.
B．This film tells us each of us should return to our hometown when we grow old.
C．We should protect the Earth because it is in danger of being destroyed by the dying sun.
D．The director of this film thinks Chinese sci-fi should have our cultural and spiritual core.

15、My best friend and I made our first trip to Ireland less than a year ago. I wasn’t very excited about it at the very beginning. But my uncle wanted me to visit Ireland and offered to pay for my trip. Then I did. All of the words “magical, charming and memorable” don’t even describe what Ireland is. Our favourites were Kilkenny, Cobh and Killarney. We did a self-driver tour.

We stayed in a castle in Dublin for two days, where my ancestors(祖先) came from. The town we thought we might be bored in was Kilkenny, but we loved every minute we were there. There were so many places to explore and the pictures we took were beautiful.
It was so exciting to see the little village of Cobh and know it was the last stop for the Titanic(a famous ship) at that time. We loved the visitor centre there and the little shops. We never got any bad food there. It was so mouth-watering at every stop! And when we stayed in Westmeath, we saw the Trim Castle through the windows and found some scenes from Brave Heart which was filmed there. We were so excited. Again, more beautiful pictures were taken in that tiny town.
We love the country, the people, the food and the magic. We would go back very soon. I was so thankful for my uncle who had given me the chance to be there.
I have no words toadequatelydescribe our trip. Go, explore the small villages, eat and enjoy! I still look at my pictures and can’t believe I was actually there.

16、 I saw Tom Sawyer on the way to the town. When he saw me he looked frightened. “Huck! Why have you come back to scare me? I never hurt you,” he said. “I haven 't come back. Tom. I've never been away.”
“Aren't you a ghost?”
“No, it was a trick.” I said.
Then I told him that I wanted to rescue(营救) Jim—a slave（奴隶）.
“I'll help you,” Tom replied excitedly. He loved an adventure more than anything else in the world.
When we got back to the farm, Tom said that he was Sid, Tom's younger brother. Aunt Sally was surprised to see him but was happy to have his two nephews(侄子).
That night, Tom and I went out to look for Jim. There were lots o
