Ai-Petri Bridges, Crimea
The views of the Crimean coast from the top of 1,234-metre high Ai -Petri Mount are amazing. The hanging bridges built in recent years can r each the top of the mount. If just walking across the bridges is not dang erous enough, it also happens to be one of the windiest places in the wo rld. It is said that the bridges blow from side to side as wind speeds rea ch 170 kilometres per hour for 125 days of the year. It’s also very fogg y (多雾的), so you may not be able to enjoy the views!
U Bein Bridge, Myanmar
This five-metre-high, 1.2-kilometre wooden footbridge does not look a s dangerous as the others, but do not be fooled. It was built in the 1850 s and it’s certainly feeling its age!

The Trift Bridge, Switzerland
At 100 metres high and 170 metres long, this is one of the highest bridges in the world. Built in 2021, the bridge is hidden among the high Swiss Alps. You wouldn’t have wanted to walk across the bridge befor e its repair in 2009. But if you have the courage to cross this bridge, yo u’d better do it quickly!
The Hussaini Hanging Bridge, Pakistan
In the mountainous area of Northern Pakistan, the Hussaini Hanging Bridge helps travelers cross the Borit Lake. However, you will not feel to o confident when you get close to this bridge. It’s one of the oldest bri dges in Pakistan and many locals use it every day to travel to work and school ——imagine losing your homework over the side of this bridge! I t’s made from rope, with a few pieces of wood that have large gaps (间隙)between them. Step carefully!

Anjali Mishra is a rising junior at Sunset High School in Portland, Oregon. At 17, she is president and founder of her school’s UNICEF (U
nited Nations Children’s Fund) USA club, and a member of UNICEF’s national council (委员会). She also volunteers her time in different comm unities.
How did Anjali develop such a passion (热情) for helping others? W hen she was a freshman, she had an experience that greatly changed her attitude. She was invited to a cousin’s wedding in India.
“My mom kind of forced me to go,”Anjali says. “When I saw c hildren on the street, I realized how lucky I was as a child. I was able t o get whatever I wanted, and my every need was satisfied.”
Anjali asked herself: “What can I do to help? UNICEF stood out to me because it’s always on the front lines helping children in need.”
After starting a UNICEF club at her school, Anjali noticed that the c ommunity responded actively. She took things a step further by applying t o UNICEF’s national council.
“UNICEF really liked my work,”she says. “Out of 3,000 applica nts, they chose 6 high school students to be on the national council, and I was one of them.”
As a member of the council, Anjali helps organize high school UNI CEF clubs around the country and provide resources so that the clubs can manage themselves.
The teen also founded an organization called “Activists United.”Me mbers educate people on the dangers of guns. Anjali encourages other kid s to start local clubs and organizations, too. “It takes a lot of effort, but you can get it done if you’re passionate,”she says.
4. Why did Anjali go to India?
A. To be a volunteer.

Smartphones, tablets and smart watches are banned (禁止) at school for all children under 15 in France. Under the ban students are not able t o use their phones at all during school hours, including meal breaks.
“I think it’s a good thing. School is not about being on your phon e,”Paris mum Marie-Caroline Madeleine told AFP. “It’s hard with kid s. You can’t control what they see and that’s one of the things that wo rry me as a parent.”
There is no law like this in Australia, but some Australian schools h ave banned phones.
McKinnon Secondary School in Victoria introduced a total ban in Fe bruary and Principal Pitsa Binnion said this has been a success.
McKinnon students still have a Chromebook to use in every class for day-to-day learning but they’re not allowed to use social media. Ms Bi nnion said at first “teachers cheered and students moaned (埋怨) ,”but now they’re seeing the advantages. “They come to school and they’re not allowed to use phones at all during the school day, including lunch b reaks,”she said.
“It’s been wonderful in terms of students communicating with each other at lunchtime and not looking at their screen,”she said.
Ms Binnion also leads by example and doesn’t use her mobile phon e in school. “I think anyone can do it if we’ve done it.”
Not everyone agrees with the bans. Western Sydney University techn ology researcher Dr Joanne Orlando wrote in online magazine The Conver sation earlier this year that Australia should not ban phones in schools be cause it’s important to educate kids to live in the age they are raised in.
“A good education for students today is knowing how to use techno logy to learn, communicate and work with ideas,”she wrote. “Banning students from using smartphones is a 1950s response to a 2021 state-of-pl ay.”
8. Why did Madeleine welcome the ban?
A. School is for studying. B Kids behave badly nowadays.
C. Teachers find it hard to control kids. D Her kids depend too much on phones.
9. What can we learn about the ban in McKinnon Secondary Schoo l?
A. Some teachers were against it at first.
B. Students can now see the good of the ban.
C. Students can use their phones at lunch beaks.
D. Teachers have stopped using phones at school as well.
10. What does the underlined word “Chromebook”in Paragraph 5 probably refer to?
A. A book.
B. A notebook.
C. A learning website.
D. A ki nd of computer.
11. What does Dr Joanne Orlando think of banning phones in school s?
A. It will disconnect parents and kids.
B. It will cause kids to com municate less.
C. It will prevent kids being tech-minded.
D. It will make education go back 60 years.
D
I recently posted a picture on Facebook from the movie Mad M ax, a film where two groups race through the desert in steampunk vehicle s, and wrote, “Actual picture of my way to work today.”It was meant to be a joke because of the sandstorms in Beijing, but one of my friends from back home thought it was real.
I couldn’t imagine how they could think that is actually what China is like. China has so many more conveniences and advantages than the West, and many of my friends agree. “I don’t know how I will b e able to deal when I go back home,”said a friend who is about to en d her gap year in Beijing. “I’ve become so spoiled in China.”
China seems to be leading the way in innovation(创新) and con venience for daily life. Back home I could never shop, pull out my phon e and scan a QR code to pay.
There have been rumors of starting bike sharing in my hometow n for years with little success while bike sharing suddenly appeared in Be ijing overnight. I just step outside and scan a code, and I am on my wa y.
Going out to eat with a group of friends back home was trouble some for both the group and the servers. Splitting bills and swiping(刷) 1
0 different cards or making change for each person in the group can be
a pain. But with China’s WeChat, you can quickly send your friends yo ur part of the bill.
The list goes on…
When I first arrived in Beijing, I was dead set on leaving in a month. That month has come and gone. Now, when someone asks me wh en I’m coming back, I think to myself, “Who knows?”
While my friends think I am riding through the desert on a mot orbike, I am actually taking a Didi for what is the equivalent of $5 in th e US.
With all the conveniences and technology here, I may never wan t to go back.
12. What’s the function of Paragraph 1?
A. To introduce a movie.
B. To introduce the topic.
C. To tell an interesting story.
D. To show the weather i n Beijing.
13. How did the author feel when he first came to Beijing?
A. He didn’t want to stay long.
B. He couldn’t stand the weather.
C. He never wanted to go back home.
D. He was amaze
d at th
e bike sharing.
14. What can we infer from the text?
A. China is the first country to start bike sharing.
B. The author has become used to mobile payment in China.
C. People always use WeChat to pay when eating out in the US.
D. The author’s friends all know the convenience of living in C hina.
15. What does the text intend to tell us?
A. Bike sharing has spread all over China.
B. Foreigners have misunderstandings of China.
C. Life in foreign countries is not as easy as we thought.
D. Technology has brought much convenience in China.

依照短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

选项中有两项为余外选项。

You may have had grand plans about getting organized in college. A nd yet, despite your best intentions, your plans didn’t seem to get along. So just how can you stay organized for the long road ahead?
16 If you were totally devoted to making a difference, but it ended up not working well, don’t be too hard on yourself. That just me ans a particular system didn’t work for you, not that you’re bad at tim
e management.
17 When you’re faced with anything connected with your colle ge life duties ——from a cell phone bill to an email from your mom a bout when you’re coming home for Thanksgiving ——make yourself kn ow what to do.
Spend a little time each week reorganizing. You’re in college becaus e you’ve got a great brain. 18 Just like a finely tuned athlete, your brain is learning, expanding, and strengthening each week you’re in scho ol. Spend a few moments looking over what you have done, what you’r e doing, and what you’ll need to do over the next few weeks. 19
Plan ahead to stay ahead. Everyone knows that student who always s ays “Oh, I cant do it now. I’ll finish it before the deadline.”won’t be able to finish the work. 20 If you have a major event you’re pla nning, make sure your homework is done ahead of schedule so you can f ocus on your event when the time comes.
A. So put it to use on all you have to do outside of the classroom!
B. Those precious minutes can save you a lot of lost time.
C. A messy room can represent a messy college life.
D. Keep trying time management systems until you find one that wo rks.
E. Take care of your physical, emotional, and mental health.
F. Plan ahead for everything you have to do.
G. Stay on top of your responsibilities.

Last week, I took part an English speech contest. There are twelve s tudents in the final contest. I was one of the lucky student. Fifteen minut es after my turn, I picked my topic and prepared for it. I wrote down th e outlines and organized what I was going to say. However, when I stoo d in the front of all the judges and students, I was extreme nervous. The n I took a deep breath to relax me and started my speech. The result wa s not good, because I regarded it as a challenge, which process was the most important.
Having learnt a lot from the contest, I am sure I will do it much w ell next time.

Hi Daisy,
This is Li Lua. I learned from your post that you want to improve your Chinese. I am quite interested in it. I’m quite confident that I can help you learn Chinese.
Learning Chinese takes time, so if you want to learn it well, you sh ould spend much time practicing it every day. As the saying goes, practic e makes perfect. Besides, you can also read some books in Chinese, see some Chinese films and listen to some Chinese radio programmes. Speaki ng and listening are very important for language learning, by which you are sure to make great progress.
In your post, you say you can teach English as a reward. It is just what I want. I’m eager to improve my English. So, if you allow me to help you learn Chinese, you can also help me improve my English. We c an contact each other by video chat every night for half an hour in Engli sh and half an hour in Chinese, so that we can improve our oral speakin g.
Hope for you early reply!
Yours,
Li Hua。
