1． Whether you fancy six months away in Southeast Asia，or a few smaller trips around Europe，a gap year is a perfect opportunity to see more of the world.Travelling looks good on your CV，too!Here are some cheap gap year destinations.
Italy -Flights to Italy can be quite cheap.On top of that，making your way across the country can be done on a budget by bus or ride-sharing.Keep an eye on tourist tax for your accommodation，as it's charged on top of the usual tariff （關稅）.To avoid this，you could give couch-surfing a go.
Slovenia -Perfect for enthusiasts of the great outdoors，Slovenia is famous for its rolling hills and beautiful lakes.You can see most of these for free.Think Switzerland but affordable.It makes for an ideal stop if you're travelling Europe by train during your gap year.
Argentina - Argentina has it all：mountains，beaches，desert，busy cities and more.Public transport is very affordable and domestic flights aren't too extremely priced either.While the north is a lot cheaper than the south，it's worth visiting the Patagonian mountain range during the high season （December to February）.
Morocco-From beautiful cities like Marrakesh to the Sahara Desert，Morocco has so much to offer.It doesn't have to cost a fortune either as the food is very cheap.And you can avoid any over-priced Sahara tours offered on the street by asking your hostel for recommendations.

2． I'd always been active — I was an aerobics（有氧運動）instructor for 30 years and was also a keen runner — but from the age of 40，I began having problems with my hip and knees and started getting joint and lower back pains.The pain became too much.I couldn't do the exercise that I was used to，and I started putting on weight.By my 50th birthday，I was nearly 90 kg and felt so miserable.I was struggling with body confidence，and had lost my direction.
Fiends suggested I try Qigong classes，a Chinese form of yoga.I felt the benefits after the first class.I loved the slow movement，the connection back to breath and the emphasis on mindfulness — it was the focus I needed.
The general principle of Qigong — which is connected to Chinese medicine — is that you have to find balance in the body to allow the energy to flow around.Stress and injury cause blockages and lead to health problems.
For most of my life I'd always eaten healthily，but had fallen into bad habits of loving sugary carbs （碳水化合物食物），which led to my weight gain.Starting Qigong helped me go back to my healthy diet.The combination of the improved diet and exercise improved my mood.I'm even finally free of the joint pain that was troubling me.
It is ironic that I was a high-paced aerobics instructor for most of my life，who now does very slow，mindful movements.If you'd told me years ago that you can lose weight by doing this kind of practice，I wouldn't have believed you，but it makes sense to me now，that at this stage of my life，removing the stress from my body is really what it needs.Two years on I feel so much younger than I did the day I turned 50；I have more energy and I feel much happier in myself.
（1）What made the author stop her usual sport？
A．Her old age.
B．Her love for Qigong.
C．Her physical pain.
D．Her weight gain problem.
（2）What is the general principle of Qigong according to the author？
A．One should eat a very strict diet.
B．One should find his focus in life.
C．One should exercise as much as possible.
D．One should attain harmony within his body.
（3）What does the underlined word "ironic" in paragraph 5 probably mean？
A．Funny.
B．Easy.
C．Important.
D．Common.
（4）What does the author try to convey in the last paragraph？
A．Aging has negative effects on health.
B．Chinese Yoga helps her keep healthy.
C．High-paced sports are unsuitable for the elders.
D．She prefers slow movements to high-paced ones.組卷：7引用：2難度：0.3 -
3． On Monday，I walked into a conference center and，instead of flashing an ID card with my name and photo，I positioned myself in front of a head-height camera the size of my fist.Seconds later，the screen read： "PLEASE ENTER." No one scanned the digital pass.My face might already be an entry ticket.Hair-raising？Cool？
As facial-recognition access points are everywhere in public places including airports and concert locations，you might be wondering how you're supposed to feel about it.Companies using face-matching software say it is speedy，convenient，and contactless for customers.Most also stress that it's only a choice.Meanwhile，lawmakers are looking to tighten regulations around use of this kind of technology because of privacy concerns
The answer comes down to the individual.It helps if you know the company：Do you want this company storing your personal information？What happens to your face image once you no longer need the service？
Facial recognition works by creating a map of your face.The map contains your unique measurements — the distance between your forehead and chin，or between your eyes.These data are then changed into code called a face print.It's how your iPhone's Face ID identifies you or how Google Photos can group photos of your kids
A company that stores your face data could keep it.Or the data could be acquired by a company that has an entirely different purpose than what you agreed to.This kind of misuse is a guess.However you can't always track where your face ends up：One company sold facial-recognition tech based on billions of images from social media and other sources.
While you have the ability not to choose facial recognition，it could eventually come at a cost Think of how the cash lane at a toll stop is almost always far slower than the E-ZPass lanes.Facial recognition will only become more common in our travels and entertainment，as well as other areas such as education and banking.We've just begun to understand the advantages and disadvantages.
（1）Why does the author mention his experience in paragraph 1？
A．To introduce the topic.
B．To share his story with the readers.
C．To promote the technology.
D．To question the safety measures.
（2）What is a face print？
A．A facial-recognition software.
B．A company that stores personal information.
C．A code that contains unique measurements of a face.
D．A regulation for facial- recognition technology.
（3）What is paragraph 5 mainly about？
A．The misuse of the technology
B．The risk of exposing personal data
C．The difficulty of tracking personal data
D．The incorrect way to identify individuals
（4）What is the author's attitude to the use of the facial recognition technology？
A．Concerned.
B．Doubtful.
C．Objective.
D．Uninterested.組卷：7引用：2難度：0.3

My Big Solo （獨唱） The day had finally arrived：the day of my big solo.Everyone was there；my mom and dad and my little brother.And it was a big event：the Spring Fling Choir Concert.The whole class was dressed up.My name was on the cover of the program in bright yellow characters.I couldn't believe it when I saw my name.Not that it was my name，but that it wasn't Renee's.Renee and I had been classmates since kindergarten.She was always ahead of me.Dance class needs a big finish？Renee was picked.The school plays？Renee would have the leads while I was cast as her mother or sister or neighbor.I even played her dog once.The only time I ever came in ahead of Renee was at roll call （點名）.Cindy comes before Renee.I count that as a victory!
The choir concert tryouts were stressful.We waited in the library as Ms.Jenkins called us individually into the choir room.By the time she called me，I was shaking.When I came back to the library，Renee smiled at me.Ms.Jenkins called her name and Renee calmly followed her.She was still calm and smiling when her tryout was over
When Ms.Jenkins announced who had made the special choral group （合唱隊），I wasn't surprised when Renee's name was on her list and mine wasn't. "So，what else is new？" I said under my breath Sudden clapping brought me out of my bad mood.Everyone was looking at me.I've missed something here，I thought.Ms.Jenkins smiled at me and said， "Cindy，you will have to start practicing with me.The solos take extra preparation." Solo？I got the solo？I glanced over at Renee.She smiled broadly and gave me the thumbs-up sign.Oh，that's another thing.She is always so nice
Now the day had come.We filed onto the stage and took our places.I was front and center.Ms.Jenkins raised her baton （指揮棒） and we began to sing.My parents were smiling at me，cameras flashing.
