1．London and Paris are two of Europe's biggest tourist destinations，just a few hours away from each other byroad or rail and an hours distance by air.What about the train-ferry combination that many recall fondly from their childhoods？Well，though it's budget-saving，this option is too time-consuming today，so better leave it to your memories.Since the UK is not part the Schengen Area，passengers need to go through passport control prior to boarding.
Air trips：
Though flying between London and Paris is by no means recommended，there are still a few people traveling between the two dynamic cities by air.A very low one-way fare is possible through advanced booking，but of course it's rare，and that doesn't include the taxi and rail fares traveling to and from the airports.
*One-way fares from Paris can be as low as €49；
*From London，Air France flies with fares as low as ￡39（€46），and British Airways as low as ￡48（€56）
Rail trips：
The only direct train between London and Paris is the Eurostar，which travels 15-17 times per weekday.Eurostar's 2015 edition trains can make the journey in two hours at speeds of up to 320 km/h.Besides，they offer good seating space.
*Fares begin at a reasonable ￡58（€68），round trip；
*The earlier you book，the more you save.
Bus trip
The bus is by far the least expensive and longest way to travel between Paris and London.Eurolines and OUIBUS are two major bus lines traveling between the two capitals.The journey takes between seven and nine hours.Both lines advertise free Wi-fi.
*One-way Eurolines fares begin at €15；
*One-way OUIBUS fares begin at €15 too，but early bird sales can even lower the fare.

A．By train-ferry.

2．As a boy，I wanted to go to the South Pole.As a teenager，I decided I'd like to go to the North Pole too.And yet，I haven't done ejye.aiher.It had taken me 31 years to just make it to the Arctic.
I was traveling with a film crew from Northern Ireland，following the footsteps of Lord Dufferin who，in the 1850 s，sailed from Scotland to the Arctic.As an early adventure tourist，he was driven by the desire to see what lay at the ends of the world.
As we sailed north，icebergs of the size of buses floated past our small boat.Finally，we reached our destination --- English Bay，where Dufferin landed- and stepped off onto the horseshoe-shaped beach.
This was what I'd dreamt of：standing somewhere so pure and primitive.However，for many early polar explorers，the results were far less pleasant.The south，in particular，was source of extreme danger.
My childhood interest in the South Pole was fueled by the unsuccessful yet heroic adventures of Emest Shackleton.He died in 1922 while preparing for his fourth adventure.The stories of Robert Falcon Scott are also well-known：he and four companions died on their way back from the South Pole.
So why do explorers put themselves at such risk？
Much of it seems to lie in the purity of the challenge.Scott talked of the appeal of a place that had been "unreached and unseen by humans. " "With a view over shining lands covered by ice-sheets ofinconceivable extent，you have the feeling of living over the control of death，" said Fridtj of Nansen，a Norwegian explorer.
On the homeward journey the weather turned and we were left for a few days at the mercy of a storm.We experienced a small taste of helplessness when faced with the raw power of nature.We should be grateful for the great explorers' spirit and stories.I know I am.
（1）Why did the author begin his adventure tour？
A．To assist a film crew
B．To realize a childhood dream
C．To memorize Lord Dufferin
D．To challenge a world record
（2）Which of the following best explains "inconceivable" underlined in paragraph 7？
A．Hard to control
B．Too far to reach
C．Hard to imagine
D．Too bright to view
（3）What happened during the writer's journey？
A．They were trapped in icebergs.
B．They were kept off the destination.
C．They were attacked by a storm.
D．They were rescued by explorers.
（4）Which of the following is the best title for the text？
A．The Appeal of the Ends of the World
B．The Dream of Traveling to the Arctic
C．The Victory over the Control of Death
D．The Gratitude to Great Explorers Spirit組卷：23引用：2難度：0.5 -
3．"It has nothing in common with anything else on the Bund（外灘）." said Ben Wood，the American architect behind Shanghai's famous Xintiandi District，commenting on the Fosun Foundation after its completion in 2016. "The great thing about the Bund is that it's grand.Perhaps a building that can stand out is needed here to show that accompany is progressive.But it's not grand."
For now，however，the Fosun Foundation ---a new theatre ---is proving popular with riverside tourists.
Located in the Bund Finance Center，the theatre was designed by co-operation of two world-known British design firms：Foster+ Partners and Heatherwick Studio.The architectural highlight is the outward appearance ---a golden，three-layered（層） steel bamboo curtain that hangs from the third floor.But what makes the architecture really unique is that it "dances"：repeatedly each day，the curtain slowly moves ---opens and closes--- with music.This visual element，combining East and West，looks like both an ancient Chinese crown and a Western harp（豎琴）.The building's ground floor entrance looks unclear，but once inside，you'll see the space reveal a hall and cafe，and traditional Chinese theatres on the upper floors.Although there're only four stories above ground，the building houses several music halls on its three underground floors.
"The opportunity to make something new in this culturally historic location was extraordinary，" said Thomas Heatherwick，Heatherwick Studio founder. "We tried to make it an interesting addition to show Shanghais mix of modern and historic architecture."
The Fosun Foundation is only part of a bigger plan for this economic and cultural center in China.Along the Huangpu River，a massive waterfront art area is being built.Shanghai hopes to play a larger role in the global art industry in the coming years.
What Shanghai makes of this new riverside project remains to be seen.But with the Fosun Foundation open to the public，the area's rapid transformation is bringing up discussions in China's arts scene and beyond.
（1）What did Ben Wood mainly talk about？
A．How to keep the Bund area progressive.
B．Why the Bund area doesn't stand out.
C．How to make the Fosun Foundation grand.
D．Why the Fosun Foundation doesn't fit the area.
（2）What makes the theatre unusual？
A．The colour of its appearance.
B．The material of the building.
C．The movement of its curtain.
D．The music of a different type.
（3）What is Shanghai's bigger plan for the Bund area？
A．To improve its influence in arts.
B．To bring up more traditional buildings.
C．To strengthen its economic role.
D．To mix modern and historic elements.
（4）Which word best describes the author's attitude to the plan？
A．Worried
B．Pessimistic
C．Cautious
D．Confident組卷：17引用：1難度：0.5

After Henry delivered all the newspapers，he pedaled fast to The Gazette offices by 8：30.The chief editor had something important to tell him.He parked his bike and bounded up two flights of stairs to the chief editor's door.
Mr.Trotta greeted him."About those papers，" he paused， "no good way to deliver bad news，" Henry's smile faded. "We're closing shop Saturday.Advertising is down.Television is how people get their news today，" Mr.Trotta shrugged，"You won't have to get up early on weekends. ""No，" said Henry，"but I like waking up early and meeting people on my route.It's sad People won't get their neighborhood news any more."
As Henry rode past the familiar houses，he saw Mr Grady on his porch（門廊）holding a broom（掃把）. "Mr.Grady，wait，" Henry called，setting down his bike.He led Mr.Grady to a chair and took the broom.In minutes，the porch was clean. "Now，Mr.Grady，anytime you have chores（家務(wù)）call me. " They sat for a while as Mr.Grady recalled how happy he'd been moving his family to 26 Maple.He sounded lonely.
A week after closing，Henry wondered if his customers missed The Gazette as much as he did.He thought of a way to find out.
He started out on his old route with a notebook.First stop：Mr.Jonas，17 Oak.When Henry asked him about the paper，Mr.Jonas answered， "I sure liked reading the week's happenings.By the way，I have a pile of old comics from The Gazette.Think someone would want them？"
"I'll ask around. " Henry made a note in his notebook.
He stopped at Mrs.Burke's，27 Maple.She opened the door holding two babies.Her other two kids held on to her legs.Henry stared. "You could use a babysitter.""Definitely.I meant to put an ad in The Gazette，but…Know any neighbors with experience？"
Mr Simon was next door，carrying his violin out to his car. "Hey，Henry.My band is having a concert in the park next Friday.Tell all your friends."
