Getting around Venice by travelling along its waterways is a delight for all visitors. Apart from offering unforgettable views of the architecture, the city's transport options are convenient, efficient, and also relatively inexpensive.
PASSES
Instead of paying EUR 7 per ride, a better option is to purchase one of ACTV's passes, which offer unlimited travel for 1 day(EUR 20), 2 days(EUR 30), 3 days (EUR 40) or 1 week(EUR 60). For children and young people between the ages of 6 and 29, ACTV offers a special "Rolling Venice" 3-day pass(EUR 29).
BY GONDOLA
Considered by many as the most symbolic feature of Venice, today gondolas circulate most often on canals in the centre of the city, carrying tourists on rides at fixed rates, which tend to be rather high. A 40-minute ride costs around EUR 100, but may be shared by as many as six passengers.
BY WATER TAXI
Getting around by water taxi in Venice is most costly, but can be a convenient option when you are in a hurry or need to carry a lot of luggage. The initial charge is EUR 15,then EUR 2 per minute. If you have more than one bag per passenger, there is a charge of EUR 3 for each additional piece.
BY RENTAL BOAT
It is possible to rent a boat to travel around Venice's canals. A boating permit is not required, but you will need to pass a basic turning and docking test before being allowed to rent a boat. Rates start at EUR 30 per hour.
Note: There are only four fuelling stations for boats in Venice. Make sure you note their locations before heading out.
21. What is said about the ACTV's pass?
A. It provides the tourists with five choices. B. It is very suitable for kids and the young.
C. It should be ordered ahead of time online. D. It is a certificate given to the foreign tourists.
22. Why does the author recommend gondola?

Serena Williams(Sept. 26,1981)is an American professional tennis player, born in Saginaw, Michigan. She is the youngest of the five daughters in the family. When the children were young, the family moved to the city of Compton in Los Angeles, where Williams started playing tennis at the age of five. She and her sister, Venus, were home-schooled by her father.
Both Serena and Venus showed promise at a very early age, prompting their father Richard to begin making predictions about their future success in the tennis world. Coached by her father, Serena entered her first tennis tournament at age four and a half. Before reaching their teen years, the sisters had begun attracting attention far beyond the borders of their home state.
When she was nine, her family moved from Compton to West Palm Beach so that she could attend the tennis academy of Rick Macci, who would provide additional coaching. Macci spotted the great talents of the sisters. Despite not always agreeing with Williams' father, he respected that "he treated his daughters like kids, allowing them to be little girls". When Williams was ten, her father stopped sending her and her sister to national junior tennis tournaments, since he wanted them to take it slow and focus on school work. Another reason was that he had heard parents of white players talk about the sisters in a derogatory manner during tournaments.
In 1995, Richard pulled his daughters out of Macci's academy, and from that point on he took over all coaching at their home. When asked in 2000 whether having followed the normal path of playing regularly on the junior circuit would have been beneficial, Williams responded, "Everyone does different things. I think for Venus and I, we just tried a different road, and it worked for us."
24. What happened in the year of 1986?
A. The family moved to the city of Compton. B. Williams began her tennis career.
C. Richard was offered a job as a coach. D. The Williams began to live a richer life.
25. Why did Rick Macci accept the two sisters?
A. Because he showed much respect for their father.
B. Because he decided to challenge their father.
C. Because the two sisters were gifted in tennis.
D. Because he wanted his tennis academy outstanding.
26. What does the underlined word 'derogatory" mean in the passage?
A. Abnormal. B. Offensive. C. Admirable. D. Positive.
27. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. Richard is much better at playing tennis than Macci.
B. The junior circuit would be more suitable for Williams.
C. Williams took her father's training method lightly.
D. Williams was grateful to her father for his devotion.

Kitchens are considered one of the most dangerous areas of a home, for children and for seniors. Many more accidents and falls occur in the kitchen. Keeping the kitchen a safe environment isn't always easy, but it can be accomplished through a series of steps.
Look at the kitchen with a critical eye and realize that what may seem perfectly harmless to you may be a potential threat to your elderly father.

Nevertheless, ensuring elderly parents safety in the house, not just the kitchen, is important. As many elders develop cognitive issues, it may he difficult for him or her to tell between safe and unsafe.
Ensure that any room in the house, especially the kitchen, has safe access for those using canes and walkers. It's not an easy task, but with a little planning and a developed course of action, you can help make the kitchen one of the safest areas of the house, and not the other way around.

A new U. S. government report says climate change is affecting the United States. It warns, that the danger of destructive weather event-from powerful storms to extremely dry weather and wildfires-is worsening.
The report, called the Fourth National Climate Assessment, was released on November 23. It was written long before the deadly fires in California this month and before Hurricanes Florence and Michael struck the East Coast.
The report noted that new U. S. records for destructive weather have been set in recent years. Weather-related damage has cost nearly $ 400 billion the last three years since 2015. The Associated Press reported.
The climate assessment is required by law every few years. It was based on more than 1,000 earlier research studies. More than 300 researchers in 13 U. S. government offices and agencies prepared the report. It explains how the burning of coal, oil and natural gas is affecting different areas of the country and how this affect,the U. S. economy, including energy and agriculture.
The report noted that temperatures in the Lower 48 states have risen 1 degree Celsius since the year 1900. By the end of the 21st century, the country will be 1.6 to 6.6 degrees higher, depending on how much pollution is released into the atmosphere. Studies have linked the temperature increase to carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases.
The climate assessment warned of longer and more powerful disasters resulting, at least in part, from rising temperatures. It said weather disasters are becoming more serious and warned that without effective action, they could become much worse.
A White House spokeswoman noted that, since 2005, carbon dioxide emissions related to energy production in the United States have dropped 14 percent. Yet emissions worldwide continue to rise. Last year, President Trump announced plans to withdraw the United States from the 2015 Paris Agreement which, signed by nearly 200 countries, sets rules for fighting climate change.
32. What does the author intend to tell in the passage?
A. Weather disasters will get worse in the future.
B. Climate change affects the USA more than others.
C. No way is found to deal with climate change.
D. Pollution is in fact the urgent problem to solve.
33. When did the author probably write the article?
A. In 2016. B. In 2017. C. In 2018. D. In 2019.
34. What does the climate assessment explain?
A. Relative American laws within a few years.
B. 1,000 researchers and their new findings.
C. The effect of burning fuel on some fields.
D. Reducing the use of fuel in everyday life.
35. What can be concluded from the last paragraph?
A. The USA will reduce its carbon dioxide emissions.
B. President Trump takes the climate change lightly.
C. Carbon dioxide emissions is a world problem.

If you live in a place that has lots of snow and ice in the winter, then you have probably seen the highway department spreading salt on the road 61 (melt) the ice. You may have also used salt on ice when making home-made ice cream. Salt lowers the 62 (freeze) point of water, so in both 63 (case) the idea is to take advantage of the decreased melting point.
Ice forms when the temperature of water 64 (reach) 0℃. When you add salt, that temperature drops. On a roadway, this means that if you spread salt on the ice, you can melt 65 .
When you are making ice cream, the temperature around the ice cream mixture needs to be below 0℃ if you want the mixture to freeze. Salt 66 (mix) with ice creates a brine(盐水)that has a temperature 67 (low) than 0℃. When you add salt 68 the ice water, you lower the melting temperature of the ice down to-18℃or so. The brine is so cold 69 it freezes the ice cream mixture 70 (easy).
