The Boy who Biked the World is a travel adventure（历险）. It was written by Alastair Humphreys, who completed a four-year bicycle ride around the world. In the story, the hero is a boy called Tom who wants to be an explorer. His favourite book is an atlas(地图册) and he is more interested in adventurers than he is in footballers. One day, Tom finally sets off on his own adventure. He travels through Europe, the Middle East and Africa on his bicycle. The story is full of fantastic facts about the countires he travelled through and the characters he meets.

One of my favourite parts was the opening of the book. Tom is caught daydreaming in his maths class. which has happened to me too. I loved Tom. My favourite thing about the book, however, was the funny pictures and interesting little notes.

I would recommend this book to anyone who loves geography and wants to go on an adventure. Although the book is for 8 to 12 year olds, I think older teenagers will enjoy reading it too, and it’s perfect for students learning English. I give this book 5 out of 6 stars because it’s very interesting.

Most of us like to know where we are and where we’re going. It can feel strange to be lost—sometimes very uncomfortable, too. But that’s not always the case.

When I was about twelve, we were on holiday in Venice. My dad’s a photographer and he said that he was going to get up the following morning at 5 o’clock to take photos. Mum wasn’t interested, but I said I’d go with him, only because he promised I could have the biggest ever bowl of Italian ice cream if I did. Why else would I rise so early?

So at 5 a. m., we left the hotel and started walking. There was almost no one in the streets. As the sun began to come up, Dad started taking photographs and I just looked around. Every time he walked off, I followed him, down small streets and over little bridges.

After about an hour and a half, I found we lost our way and felt a bit scared, but Dad just smiled and laughed. “We’re lost!” he said. I told him to get out his map or phone. He looked at me. “Map? Phone? I only brought the camera. Come on, let’s get more lost.” He laughed again.

His laughter relaxed me and made me feel safe. We started to walk again. People were appearing on the streets—shops and cafes began to open, and as the sun came up, the narrow streets started to fill with light.

Finally, after about four hours of wandering（闲逛） around, we were back. Mum asked worriedly, “Where have you been?” I said with a big smile, “We got lost.”

These days we have so many things to stop us from getting lost—maps, GPS, apps on our phones and so on. But Dad showed me that being lost can sometimes simply be something to enjoy.

45．Why did the writer decide to go with his dad? ________

A．He liked taking photos.

B．He enjoyed travelling in Venice.

C．He hated staying with his mom.

D．He wanted delicious ice cream.

46．What did they take with them during the tour? ________

A．A map. B．A camera. C．A phone. D．A photo.

47．What did the writer think of his morning tour in the end? ________

A．Joyous. B．Scary. C．Terrible. D．Challenging.

48．What does the writer want to tell us from the text? ________

A．Small beginnings come great things.

B．Don’t trouble trouble until trouble troubles you.

C．When we lose something, we get something else.

D．Modern technology has a great influence on our life.

“When a wildfire burns a forest, what is a good choice for getting back what has been lost? How do you affordably replant the destroyed（毁坏的）land? And that’s where our technology comes in,” says Grant Canary, CEO of Droneseed.

Droneseed will fly drones（无人机） to prepare for a new forest on top of the one that has been burnt. Carrying 57 pounds of tree seeds（种子）, the drones work in teams to find destroyed areas and spread seeds. They are six times faster than planting seeds by hand. This can also help make the cost of planting seeds 60﹣70% less than that of traditional reforestation.

Droneseed can substitute for human tree planters. Tree planters do a valuable job well, but there are fewer tree planters due to the difficulty and low pay of the work. Meanwhile, the work of replanting a forest after a fire is beyond the abilities of human labor. Luckily drones can send dozens of seed packets. This has many advantages. It takes away unwanted dangerous jobs from both planters and pilots whose near-ground work is difficult. A truck with a line of drones can prepare more and cover far more ground than human operations. And the work is easily watched over and controlled.

Jay Zaveri, a partner at Social Capital, said,“Worldwide reforestation is important in fighting against climate change,  so we’ve helped Droneseed from the very start. Since then, Droneseed has put in its efforts to reforest land, and changed the experience of forest development.”

Dronesed is a one-stop shop for reforestation services. It plans to expand（扩大） further to meet the growing need for reforestation by the middle of next year. And it will add more reforestation projects and expand its services to more places in the future.

49．Why does the writer mention Grant Canary’s words in Paragraph 1? ________

A．To tell us the serious damage of wildfires.

B．To point out the difficulty of saving forests.

C．To show the importance of environmental protection.

D．To introduce the idea behind Droneseed’s technology.

50．What do we know about about Droneseed? ________

A．It operates well on its own. B．It works for forest rebuilding.

C．It can find wildfires in forests. D．It does business all over the world.

51．What does the underlined phrase “substitute for ” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? ________

A．替代 B．鼓励 C．培训 D．保护

52．What’s the best title for the text? ________

A．Fighting against climate change.

B．Planting trees by means of technology.

C．Expanding tree-planting services.

D．Reforesting destroyed land with drones.

What’s 4,167 metres high, in Morocco and a challenge to climb? Mount Toubkal of course! Mount Toublal is North Africa’s highest mountain. And guess what? I managed to climb it this autumn. Yes, I actually climbed to the top of a mountain.

The climb was a fantastic experience. It was hard work though, especially on the final day. We walked for twelve hours, and on the other three days we walked for eight or nine hours. I was exhausted（极度劳累）, when we finally reached the camp each evening. It was a four-day trip and we spent three icy cold nights camping. I went with my mum and dad and my older brother, who’s nineteen. The climb was challenging for all of us. Each day, we stopped to have a picnic lunch, but the climb up Mount Toubkal was the highlight for me. I think the whole trip was character building and I feel more confident.

Good morning, everyone!

I feel honored to introduce a local custom, the Tushan Temple Fair, to all of you.

The temple fair is said to have a history of more than two thousand years. It was set up in honor of Dayu. During the fair, people climb the Mount Tushan and join in many folk activities such as performances of the local operas and dances. Besides, many traditional goods are sold at the fair, which attract thousands of visitors.

In short, the Tushan Temple Fair passes on the traditions of the local culture and it is full of local features.

That’s all. Thanks for your listening!
