free,but for$20.00 per year,you can purchase a membership that allows you to have access to the site without the advertising.The pages here are great.There are color1 ed pages and worksheets for toddlers(学步儿童)and school-age children.Starfall Starfall is another good educational website for small children.Teachers often use this website in classrooms.It emphasizes reading skills for early learners.The website is aimed at first-grade-level learners,but it has tools that can help all children from pre-K to second grade.The website has reading activities,worksheets to download,and a store where you can purchase educational materials for your children.Sesame Street Workshop Kids loveSesame Street,and it is always educational.This is one of the funniest websites online for children because it is very well animated and has great sound effects.The website has games and stories for small kids,and they can create letters at the post office and mail them to their favorite characters.1.Why does Enchanted Learning offer purchasing memberships?A.Charging for the information.B.Charging for downloading materials.C.Giving access to the site without the ads.D.Providing

to Crete,they found themselves attracting a lot of attention after coming across a large sum of money in the street.At first,their Crete vacation hadnt been anything outside of the norm.However,it was as they were exploring the souvenir shops that everything changed.The couple were just walking down the street when Jessica suddenly kicked something lying on the ground.It looked a bit like a make-up bag and so they assumed that someone had lost it.Without hesitation,Jessica picked up the bag and opened it.She was shocked to see a lot of money in it-a total of 7,100 Euros.There was probably a lot they could do with all that money.However,the couple didnt have it in them to steal what belonged to someone else.Going to the police was the first thought that came to mind when Jessica saw the money.She didnt consider that there was any other choice,so the couple handed over the money to the local police.The police found the owner,an elderly woman,and informed the couple that the woman wanted to meet them.When they eventually met at the police station,the woman was so overcome with emotion that she wouldnt stop hugging and blessing them,although they insisted they were just doing the right thing.News of what the couple had done quickly made its way around the island.The locals wanted to show them their gratitude.This included receiving free taxi rides and even an offer to have their hotel room upgraded.The couple appreciated the kindness,but it was all getting to be a bit too much.They just wanted to have a normal vacation.They are probably hoping that they fly a little more under the radar during their next vacation.Theres only so much attention that these two lovebirds can handle.4.What is the first reaction of the couple after finding the money?A.They decided to do all with that money.B.They bought something in souvenir shops.C.They turned it over to the local police station.D.They tried to look for the owner by themselves.5.Which o the following can best

paragraph?A.They want to take fewer flights.B.They cant handle more radars.C.They hope to gain less attention.D.They dont have more money.7.What can we learn from the text?A.Good things come to kind people.B.The early bird catchesthe worm.C.Behind bad luck conies good luck.D.Money is too much for strangers.C If you travel inAthens,against popular belief,I would highly recommend saving the Acropolis for your secondday.As attractive as it is to head straight to the most famous building in the city,there are several reasons why you should hold off until later.Sunriseis the best time to see the ruins,and who wants to spend their first day in anew citywaking up at6 a.m.?On top of that,the Acropolis is going to make every other site inAthensless important in comparison,so I recommend not hitting it on your first day.We got to the southeast gate at 7：30,half an hour before it opened at 8.When the gate opened,we rushed to the hill.Our plan paid off because we had the whole complex to ourselves for five minutes.In this age of overtourism,getting to the greatness of the Acropolis with nobody else around felt special and excited.The Acropolis is the name given to the complex on top of the hill,and its made up of several buildings.Theres theTempleofAthena Nike,the Parthenon,the Old Temple of Athena,the Legendary Olive Tree of the Pandroseion,the Porch of the Caryatids at the Erechtheion.and on your way down,the Odeon of Herodes Atticus.Something that sounds boring but isnt is theAcropolisMuseum,and I recommend spending a couple of hours there.As someone who is a museum-avoider,I listened to the recommendations of everyone who had been,and made myself go inside.And I loved it.The museum houses tons of sculptures unearthed from the Acropolis,and it was interesting to check them out.Head toSyntagma Squarenext to watch the changing of the guard.This takes place every hour on the hour,so try to time your visit perfectly.The guards wear fun clothes and make for interesting photos.8.The author suggests visiting the Acropolis on the second day so that _.A.it can save visitors a lot of time B.it can save visitors from getting up early C.it can make for a better travel experience D.it can give visitors a better understanding ofAthens 9.How did the author feel when he ran to the top of the hill?A.Bored.B.Worried.C.Relaxed.D.Amazed.10.With what may the author agree about theAcropolisMuseum?A.It is so great that it should be visited last.B.It is enjoyable and worth visiting.C.It wastes a lot of time.D.It should be avoided.11.What is the purpose of the text?A.To provide some advice on visiting the Acropolis.B.To introduce the history of the Acropolis.C.To call on people to protect historic sites.D.To encourage people to travel around.D The market for tourism in remote areas is booming as never before.Countries all across the world are actively promoting their wilderness regions-such as mountains,Arctic lands,deserts,small islands and wetlands to high-spending tourists.The attraction of these areas is obvious:by definition,wilderness tourism requires little or no initial investment.But that does not mean that there is no cost.Once a location is established as a main tourist destination,the effects on the local community are profound.Hill-farmers can make more money from foreign travellers than working in their fields.It is not surprising that many o them give up their farm-work.In some hill-regions,this has led to a serious decline in farm output and a change in the local diet,because there is lacking labour to maintain terraces and irrigation systems.The result has been that many people in these regions have turned to outside supplies of rice and other foods.InArcticand desert societies,year-round survival has traditionally depended on hunting animals and fish and collecting fruit over a ly short season.However,as some inhabitants become involved in tourism,they no longer have time to collect wild food;this has led to increasing dependence on bought food and stores.What should they do if these new sources of income dry up?The physical impact of visitors is another serious problem associated with the growth in adventure tourism.Much attention has focused on erosion along major roads,but perhaps more important are the forest destruction and impacts on water supplies arising from the need to provide tourists with cooked food and hot showers.In both mountains and deserts,slow-growing trees are often the main sources of fuel and water supplies may be limited through heavy use.12.Why are some countries promoting the wilderness regions to tourists?A.The wildness regions are accessible to tourists.B.The landscapes there are beautiful and unique.C.Developing tourism there doesnt need much investment.D.Lots of high-spending tourists prefer such remote regions.13.What is the effect of tourism on the local community?A.Many hill farmers have turned to outside supplies of foods.B.There is enough labour to maintain terraces and irrigation systems.C.Farm output there has increased and local diet has changed.D.The local peoples new sources of income will dry up soon.14.Which might be the best title of the passage?A.The future of wilderness tourism.B.The impacts of wilderness tourism.C.The destruction of wilderness tourism.D.The disadvantages of wilderness tourism.15.If there is one more paragraph following the last paragraph,what will it talk about?A.The effects on local people.B.The solutions tothese problems.C.The choices of adventure tourists.D.The reasons for visiting remote areas.第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项 How to Make Sure You Enjoy Your Trip A trip is a planned destination where one arranges in advance in which the main purpose
