[2019·南昌二模] From Antigua to Zanzibar, these spots promise an incredible trip for 2019.
Antigua, Guatemala
“Antigua is worth every penny, but that doesn't mean you'll have to empty your wallet,” says Hudson. There are plenty of budgetconscious activities. It won't cost you a coin to visit Santo Domingo del Cerro, an outdoor sculpture park. Wanting something sweet? Head to ChocoMuseo. Admission is free and so are the samples!
Odessa, Ukraine
Odessa is having a bit of a tourism boom nationwide—not that we're surprised, given its sandy beaches and pastelcolored buildings—but it's still fairly under the order for international audiences. You can also count on this port city for affordable fun. Tickets to the Odessa Opera House start at a mere $2!
Bogotá, Colombia
“Travelers on budget will find Colombia's vast capital far more of a bargain and every bit as fascinating,” says Hudson. “It's free to visit Museo de Oro and on Sundays many of the big roads are closed to accommodate food carts, street entertainers, and pedestrians.”
Zanzibar
Zanzibar attracts vacationers with its white sand beaches, greenishblue tides, colorful coral reefs, and oceanfront seaside. Of course, wandering in historic Stone Town is pretty appealing too. Either way, you needn't spend a penny in this amazing place. It's also worth noting that Jozani Forest is the only place in the world you can see endangered red colobus monkeys.
1.Which of the following requires admission fee?
A.ChocoMuseo. B.Stone Town.
C.Museo de Oro. D.Odessa Opera House.
2.What is special to Zanzibar?

[2020·惠州市高三第一次调研考试试题] When I was a boy, our extended, immigrant family would sometimes gather at my aunt's tiny house over the summer. Relatives from all over the country would come to visit. The adults would crowd together in the living room to talk and catch up on each other's lives. And the kids would be sent out into the front yard to play when dinner was slowly cooked for all of us.
Those were the days before video games, smart phones, and motorized toys, so we often ended up playing an old game. I remember one of those moments especially. As I was the youngest and smallest of all the kids there, I got caught first and couldn't catch anyone else. My brothers and cousins were all too fast for me, and I grew more and more frustrated. Finally my face fell first into the dirt. I got up with tears forming in my eyes. Then I saw one of my female cousins Susan standing there. She started to run but was going much slower than before. I easily caught up and seized her. Then she turned to me, smiled, and said, “I'm it! You'd better run!” I ran off laughing with glee while she turned and started to chase others.
Now I see how her act of kindness that day saved me from sadness and made my joy return. It didn't matter that we hardly ever saw each other. I know we are family and she loves me.
In her wonderful book Box of Butterflies, Roma Downey writes, “We are all one, we all belong to each other, and we are one big, beautiful family.” Perhaps it is time we all started to treat each other that way. Perhaps it is time we shared our love, our kindness, our laughter, and our joy with everyone without fear. Perhaps it is time to finally and forever bring this world together in one big family reunion.
4.When the adults were chatting, the kids would ________.
A.play video games B.sit in the front yard
C.learn to cook dinner D.play traditional games
5.The author was able to catch Susan because ________.
A.the others ran too ast

A.The author is grateful for what Susan did to her.
B.The author can't meet Susan any more.
C.The author urges others to love their family.
D.The author believes the world will become a big family.
7.What could be the best title of the passage?
A.A memory of my childhood
B.Sharing of goodness unites us
C.Kindness brightens our life
D.A good deed is invaluable

[2020·福州市质量抽测] A walk through the galleries of Quebec's Montreal Museum of Fine Arts (MMFA) places individuals facetoface with some 43,000 artworks ranging from Chinese ceramics (陶瓷工艺) to Inuit sculpture.
While the visiting is an incredible cultural experience, a group of local physicians will soon be able to prescribe(开处方) museum visits as treatment for some illnesses.
“We know that art contributes to neural(神经的) activity,” said MMFA director Nathalie Bondil. “What we see is that being in contact with art can really help your wellbeing.”
Hélène Boyer, vice president of a Montrealbased medical association, explains that museum visits have been shown to increase levels of serotonin, a neurotransmitter(神经递质) known as the “happy chemical” which helps to lift the mood.
According to Boyer, the small increase in hormones associated with enjoying an afternoon of art is similar to that offered by exercise, making museum visits prescriptions ideal for the elderly experiencing pain that prevents them from regularly joining in physical activity
The museum visits are designed to improve traditional methods. As Bondil notes, spending time in a peaceful environment can provide a welcome distraction. “What is most important is this experience can help them escape from their own pain,”

she says. “When you enter the museum, you escape from the speed of our daily life.”
“I am convinced that in the 21st century, culture will be what physical activity was for health in the 20th century,” said Bondil “Some people would do well to recall that just in the 19th century, sports were believed to do harm to the body. Just as doctors now prescribe exercise, they will be able to prescribe a visit to the MMFA.”
8.What does Hélène Boyer think of museum visits?
A.They can cheer people up.
B.They can reduce physical activity.
C.They can slow down our life pace.
D.They can increase levels of art appreciation.
9.How do museum visits affect people?
A.Stop them concentrating on pain.
B.Stop them focusing on traditional methods.
C.Encourage them not to be absentminded.
D.Encourage them to slow their steps while walking.
10.What does the last paragraph suggest?
A.Physical activity was popular in the 19th century.
B.Sports are considered to be harmful to the body.
C.Ideas of treating illnesses are changing over time.
D.Doctors prescribe museum visits regularly now.
11.What is the main idea of the text?
A.Museum visits are ideal for the elderly.
B.The happy chemical helps to lift the mood.
C.Peaceful environment helps escape pain.
D.Cultural activities will promote health.
