1．Classic Tuscany from ￡250 Tuscany's towns，villages and terroirs have inspired generations of painters and poets，travel writers and winemakers.
It's easy to spend a lot of money in Tuscany.A couple of nights at the Villa Cora or St Regis in Florence and some Michelin-star food，and a couple can eat their way through ￡1，000 in a weekend.But Tuscany is not huge and there are good trains and buses between towns.Outside the historic centers you'll find two- and three-star hotels that are very serviceable，and locals know how to eat very well indeed without being highly charged.
Top tip
State-run museums and archaeological sites are free on the first Sunday of the month.If you are on an art-heavy tour，pick up a Firenze Card.It costs ￡72 and covers the major museums，including the Uffizi and Accademia.You can jump queues and don't need a reservation.
When to go
Any time except high summer is good.Museums and galleries，as well as hotels and trains，see major demand in July and August.If your main interests are cultural，consider a winter holiday.It will be cool，but even in January and February snow is so rare in the hills as to be positively exciting.
Do it yourself
Fly from Gatwick to Florence from ￡91 return in October.The best route goes by train from Florence to Siena （1.5 hours， ￡8），Siena to Empoli （1 hour， ￡6），Empoli to Pisa （30 mins， ￡5）and back to Florence （50 mins， ￡7.30）.
Book via trenitalia.jye.ai.Plushotels （plushotels.jye.ai/en/florence） has rooms in Florence from ￡23 per night.In Siena and Pisa you can get B&B for around ￡40 and in Empoli for around ￡30.

2． When I was a kid，a sycamore （楓樹(shù)） grew in front of my home.At the age of 10，I was just tall enough to reach its lowest branch and lift myself into its embrace.Sometimes two or three of my friends would join me in the sycamore，or in the maple down the street，or Mrs.DiMarco's old peach tree，some of whose stout horizontal branches allowed us to sit shoulder to shoulder，eating sweet fruit.
In my small town there are some kinds of trees，their branches spreading wide，open for business.But I have not yet seen a climber.Perhaps computer games have replaced tree climbing，or maybe the activity went the way of monkey bars，which came to be viewed as too risky and have largely disappeared from playgrounds.
It is a sad loss.I have always believed that，since low-hanging branches provide no benefit to the tree，they must be meant for the child.Robert Frost understood this when he wrote：
When I see baches （樺樹(shù)） bend to left and right，
Across the lines of straighter darker trees，
I like to think some boy's been swinging them.
My only disagreement with Frost is his inference that tree climbing is a gender-specific task.Both boys and girls make a joyful climb.
The campus of the university where I teach has all sorts of trees.During a recent walk，I found myself bending under the branch of an immense spruce （云杉）.I grabbed the thing，and a moment later was sitting on a branch.Then the memories came flooding back.The old sycamore，the friends，and finally，the reluctance to return to earth when the parental call to supper came.
I was so lost in my thoughts that I didn't hear the student calling to me from below.He asked what I was doing.I didn't waste time on explanations. "Come on up，" I said "The air's fine." But he only laughed and waved me off.He didn't know what he was missing.
（1）What does the underlined word "stout" in Paragraph 1 probably mean？
A．Slim.
B．Bent.
C．Smooth.
D．Strong.
（2）What is the second paragraph mainly about？
A．Why kids don't climb trees.
B．Why monkey bars are dangerous.
C．Why there is no business under trees.
D．Why kids are addicted to computer games.
（3）What does the author want to prove by mentioning Robert's poem？
A．Some branches of trees are useless.
B．Trees are intended for kids to climb.
C．Trees are a source of inspiration for poets.
D．Climbing trees is a unique right of boys.
（4）What did the author think the student had missed？
A．The explanations to his question.
B．The fresh air above the tree.
C．The pleasure of climbing trees.
D．The sense of safety on earth.組卷：2引用：3難度：0.3 -
3． Reptiles，like snakes，lizards，and crocodiles are egg-laying animals.The species are cold-blooded，which means their bodies have the same temperature as the area around them.A recent report says that more than one-fifth of the world5 s reptiles are at risk of going extinct.
The study，written by 52 scientists，is the first worldwide measurement of how threatened different species of reptiles are.For 15 years，between 2004 and 2019，researchers collected information on over 10，000 different kinds of reptiles.They gathered details from over 900 reptile experts around the world.
The report has revealed some unhappy news—21% of all reptile species are in danger of extinction.Thafs over 1，800 species in all.The study reported that at least 31 species of reptiles have already gone extinct.The main reason these reptiles are faced with extinction is that humans are taking over more and more of their natural habitats.More land continues to be cleared to make room for cities and towns.Large areas of land are also being cleared so that they can be used as farmland.Logging is another big threat to reptile habitats.
But even if reptiles aren't considered lovely，they play a very important part in nature's food chains，One service performed by reptiles humans should appreciate is that they are natural enemies to certain pests，like insects and rats，and therefore helping control their numbers.
Scientists say the good news is that we know what must be done to protect reptiles.Bruce Young，one of the leaders of the research，says， "We have all the tools we need.Protecting natural areas，especially rainforests，is at the top of the list.Studies show that saving natural areas doesn't just protect mammals or birds，but all kinds of animals，including reptiles."
（1）What can we know about reptiles from the report？
A．There are over 10，000 different kinds of reptiles worldwide.
B．Reptiles are cold-blooded egg-laying animals.
C．Over 20% of reptile species are at risk of dying out.
D．Temperature rising poses the greatest threat to reptiles.
（2）What mainly caused the extinction of at least 31 reptile species？
A．Loss of habitats.
B．Human hunting.
C．More natural enemies.
D．Environmental pollution.
（3）What does the author think of reptiles？
A．Attractive.
B．Intelligent.
C．Beneficial.
D．Dangerous.
（4）What does Bruce think is the most important in reptile protection？
A．Improving breeding methods.
B．Developing new rainforests.
C．Strengthening cooperation.
D．Saving their natural habitats.組卷：2引用：2難度：0.5

One night the earth quaked，reducing the villages to ruins and causing hundreds of deaths.
It happened that I was away that night.I had gone to the town to buy my school books.I stayed the night at my uncle's house.We spent the entire night outside.
I came back to my village.My uncle accompanied me.Every single house，every wall，every roof had been flattened.Our house was a two-storeyed stone building.My father had died of an illness，just fourteen months before.My mother took care of us.I was the oldest.My brother John was ten.Jane，my two-year-old sister，was the baby of the family.
When the soldiers began to clear the debris （廢墟），my uncle led me away. "They have taken the bodies to the river bank，" he said gently. "Come，you must perform the last rites （儀式） to the dead before sunset.Tomorrow，we will go back to the town."
I had last seen my family while leaving for the town.They stood at the doorway and waved.John and Jane.That is the way I will always remember them — smiling and waving at me.
Jane？She was not at the river bank. "They have not found her，" my uncle said. "She is dead…" "But we must find her，" I shouted.I ran back to the village，to the spot where my house had stood，searching，crying，searching on my knees…
"Boy，it is no use!" a voice said.I looked up.The speaker was the Army officer in charge of the relief operation. "Whom are you looking for？" "My sister，" I said，fighting to control my tears.
He looked dirty and exhausted as if he had not slept for days. "My men have been on their feet for days，" he said softly. "They have done all they could here.Tomorrow，at daybreak，we go to another village just like this，then another…"
