The Sydney Opera House is one of the most famous landmarks（地标）in Australia. This summer holiday, I got the chance to visit it and find out what makes this building so great.
As our guide told us, the Sydney Opera House was built with a kind of self-cleaning material that is very rare even today.
First, we visited the Drama Hall. We learned about the designer of the Sydney Opera House—Danish architect Jorn Utzon. He was the winner of an international design competition. However, he designed the building according to his own tastes, which caused several problems. The project was completed 10 years late. The cost of construction（建造）was over budget（预算）. Utzon didn't get to see it after it was built.
Then, we visited Joan Sutherland Theatre. The theater was refurbished（翻新）in 2017 with new high-tech equipment. There was a rehearsal（排练）that day, so we could hear the beautiful sound of the orchestra（管弦乐队）. Finally, we arrived at the largest theater—Concert Hall. It has hosted many kinds of performances, from classical to rock music. A few years ago, a sports event was even held there.
Before we finished the tour, the guide told us the rest of Utzon's story. In 1966, Utzon had an argument with the government and refused to give in. He had to leave the country. It was a hard time in his life. But many years later, people understood him and saw the building as a masterpiece.
From this tour, I learned that the opera house is not only a famous building, but a carrier of history and culture.
66. Which is the correct order of the author's trip to the Sydney Opera House?
A. Concert Hall—Drama Hall—Joan Sutherland Theatre
B. Drama Hall—Concert Hall—Joan Sutherland Theatre
C. Joan Sutherland Theatre—Concert Hall—Drama Hall
D. Drama Hall—Joan Sutherland Theatre—Concert Hall

A. designed the Sydney Opera House with other people's help
B. had an argument with the government over the building
C. won an international design competition in 1966
D. visited the Sydney Opera House before he left the country
68. What does the author think about the Sydney Opera House?
A. It was a waste of money and not worth visiting. B. It is the best place to visit in Australia.
C. It is a part of Australia's history and culture. D. It is famous because of its designer.
69. What does the underlined word “masterpiece” in paragraph 5 probably mean?
A. An expert on buildings. B. A great work of art.
C. A master of designing. D. A shocking piece of news.

Some people have to use public transport, some dislike it and still some love it. If everyone has a car and drives anywhere they want to go, there will be serious traffic problems on the road. Luckily, trains are a good form of public transport.
British people use trains a lot. This is especially so for people who are travelling from London to Paris. Every day about 20 trains leave London. They travel at a very high speed and people feel glad that the trains take only 2 hours and 30 minutes to reach Paris. It's much faster to travel by train than by bus or by car. This is because people have to drive cars or buses very carefully and slowly for many reasons, such as speed limits and traffic jams. However, when you are travelling by train, the speed is almost the same and there is no traffic jam for a train.
Besides, Londoners think taking a train is one of the safest ways of travelling on the ground. Trains take quite a number of quality tests while they are made. More importantly, they have to take many safety checks before they are used on the rail track.
What's more, trains in Britain are comfortable and provide fine services for their users. When you are on a London train, you will find that the train has comfortable tables and seats where people can sit. They also provide food services and power plugs（插头）for personal computers or mobile phones.
71. The main idea of the passage is that___________.
A. British people enjoy public transport
B. it's fast to travel from London to Paris
C. trains in Britain provide fine services for their users
D. trains are a good form of public transport for Londoners
72. In a traffic jam on the road, ___________.
A. drivers can drive fast B. drivers can drive carelessly
C. cars are not moving fast D. cars will stop working
73. The 3rd paragraph of the passage mainly talks about the ___________of trains.
A. speed B. safety C. services D. problems
74. Londoners often travel by train because trains are___________.
A. old and slow B. large, clean and powerful
C. fine and important D. fast, safe and comfortable
75. What can we know from the passage?
A. We can travel from London to Paris in less than 2 hours.
B. We can do our work with personal computers on the train.
C. We have to wait till we get off the train in order to have some food.
D. The trains are only checked for quality reasons before they are used.

Good morning, boys and girls. Today I'll talk about going online.
We know that there are too many net bars around us. The Internet can make our lives interesting and enjoyable（令人愉快的）.

It can make us clever in playing computer games. Also we can send emails to our friends quickly. It can help us contact（联系）people from all over the world.
But some students spend too much time in playing computer games and some stay in the net bars all day and night. Some girls even get to have boyfriends or some boys get to have girlfriends online. They write lots of letters to each other. It takes them too much time to chat online so they do worse in their lessons and they don't study well any more.
I think we mustn't get online when it is time for us to study. We can do it in summer or winter holidays. I think we should get online with our teachers or parents.
At the same time, if we have lots of free time, we can do some activities after school. We usually have activities from 4:50 to 5:50 in the afternoon. We can play basketball or football. We also have some interest groups in school, such as drawing, singing and dancing. We can go to the English corner on Monday afternoon. We can spend more time on our subjects or on such activities that we can learn a lot from and less time on the Internet.
