When Katherine and her daughter drove past Katherine's beloved old home, she would say, “I'd like to have that house back.”On her 90th birthday, that wish came true.

“I just couldn't believe it，”Katherine says. “I have __55__ memories of that house. I have had several family dinners where we eat around it. I now can turn on the tiny lights within it. It's so pretty.” For Katherine, it turned out that it is possible to go home again.

Inspired by the USA's recent solar eclipse(日蚀)? These equally impressive events and activities will inspire your desire for a visit.
Witness a desert superbloom
Occasionally, the normally dry Mojave Desert, Sonoran Desert, and Chihuahuan Desert will burst into a carpet of yellow, purple, and pink flowers in spring. This is a superbloom, and it happens if there's significant rainfall between September and November. There's one wildflower bloom every 5.3 years on average, and a superbloom on average once every 11.2 years.
WHERE TO GO：Death Valley National Park, California, the USA
WHEN TO GO: February—March
Watch rockets launching
Every launch is very impressive and exciting because you don't know what will happen until the last moment. You hear the fire and fury for several minutes—seeing a launch in person is a billion times better than watching on TV. The current hot ticket, though, is going to watch a SpaceX reusable rocket launch, then land back at Cape Canaveral.
WHERE TO GO: Wallops Flight Facility, Virginia or Kennedy Space Center, Florida
BEST TIME TO GO: Check https://www.doczj.com/doc/f811567917.html, or https://www.doczj.com/doc/f811567917.html,
Enjoy a never-ending lightning storm
Think lightning never strikes twice? The odds are more generous over the mouth of the Catatumbo River at Lake Maracaibo, Venezuela, which hosts lightning storms for up to 297 nights a year, thanks to its unique geographical location. “Watching the Catatumbo lightning is an experience you will get nowhere else，”says Jonas Piontek, a German photographer who has travelled there twice to capture the storms. “You are basically isolated from everyone: no network, no Internet, no real civilization around. It's just you and nature, and one of the best shows on Earth.”
WHERE TO GO: Catatumbo Camp, V enezuela
WHEN TO GO: October—November
()56. What causes a superbloom to happen in the desert?
A. Steady rainfall in a year.
B. Occasional rainfall in winter.
C. Heavy rainfall in spring.
D. Abnormal rainfall in autumn.
()57. If you want to escape from reality, you can go to ________.
A. Mojave Desert
B. Wallops Flight Facility
C. Catatumbo Camp
D. Death Valley National Park
B
If every public interaction were filmed, would the world be a better place? Common sense suggests it would, and to some extent, we already live in such a world, with closed-circuit television cameras everywhere and smart phones in every pocket.
However, the routine filming of everyday life is about to go to
the next level. A number of countries are rolling out body cams for
police officers and other public-facing agencies such as schools.
Private citizens are getting in on the act too: cyclists increasingly
wear headcams as an insurance against aggressive drivers. As camera
technology gets smaller and cheaper, it isn't hard to foresee a future
where we're all filming everything all the time, in every direction. Would that be a good thing?
The available evidence suggests that it discourages behavior such as police brutality. Another upside is that it would be harder to get away with crimes or to escape blame for accidents. But a world on camera could have subtle negative effects. The flood of data we pour into the hands of Google, Facebook and others has already proved a mixed blessing. Those companies would no doubt be willing to upload and store our body-cam data for free, probably with the assistance of machine learning algorithms(算法)—but at what cost to privacy and freedom of choice? Body-cam data could also create a legal mine field. Disputes over the validity and interpretation of police footage(执法镜头) have already surfaced. Eventually, events not caught on camera could be treated as if they didn't happen, like a tree falling in the forest. Alternatively, footage could be faked or doctored to escape blame or incriminate others.
Of course, there's always the argument that if you're not doing anything wrong, you have nothing to fear. But most people have done something embarrassing, or even illegal, that they regret and would prefer hadn't been caught on film. People already inspect their social media feeds —or avoid doing anything inadequate in public—for fear of damaging their reputation. Would widespread application of body cams have a further frightening effect on our freedom? The always-on-camera world could even threaten some of the natures that make us human. We are natural gossips and backbiters, and while those might not be desirable behavior, they oil the wheels of our social interactions. Once people assume they are being filmed, they are likely to shut up. We are nowhere near that point yet where everyone will feel they need one as an insurance, policy, but we should think hard about whether we really want to say lights, body cam, action.
()58. What is the benefit of filming to average people?
A. Promoting the widespread use of smart phones in public.
B. Fighting crimes or bad behavior by providing solid evidence.
C. Guaranteeing cyclists and pedestrians more safety on roads.
D. Encouraging better performance of the police and teaching staff.
()59. In the author's view, the data flooding into tech giants is fairly ________．
A. comforting
B. puzzling
C. worrying
D. satisfying
()60. Certain undesirable behavior is important because it ________.
A. functions as an insurance policy
B. warns us not to be caught on film
C. prevents inadequate social behavior
D. motivates human daily communication
C
A so-called “smart drug”intended to improve cognitive(认知的) performance also seems to protect the brain from altitude sickness.
Ever more people are visiting high-altitude sites for work, sport, religious pilgrimages and military tasks. But even the fittest among us suffer in thin air: the lower oxygen content at altitude can lead to cognitive effects, including memory loss and attention difficulties.
There's little you can do to prevent these symptoms other than acclimatize—but this takes time and doesn't always work. A drug called oxiracetam might be the answer.
ShengLi Hu at the Third Military Medical University, Chongqing, China, and her colleagues studied the performance of male military personnel at altitude. All lived in towns around 1，800 meters above sea level. During the study, they spent eight days at this altitude and then climbed for three days to reach 4，000 meters, where they stayed for up to a month.
Twenty participants took oxiracetam three times a day for the first 15 days of the study,
while another 20 received no intervention. The men did tests of attention and memory at the start and end of the study and 20 days in, by which time they had been at 4，000 meters for nine days.
While all the participants experienced a drop in cognitive ability at 4，000 meters, those who took oxiracetam showed a much smaller decline than the control group.
Blood flow measurements indicated that at high altitude, parts of the brain's cerebral circulatory system contracted and dilated(扩张) in a way that promoted blood flow to the brain stem. This isn't surprising, since the brain stem plays a critical role in the maintenance of basic vital signs.
The team also found that the brain stem received blood at the expense of areas responsible for more advanced cognitive functions. But in people who took oxiracetam, more arteries dilated, so blood flow throughout the brain rose. This may be how the drug seems to lessen cognitive problems linked with low oxygen.
It isn't yet known whether diverting blood in this way could have negative effects in the long run.
“The results are striking and imply that oxiracetam may be beneficial for helping to relieve cognitive deficits caused by altitude，”says Timothy Hales at the University of Dundee, UK.
Oxiracetam is not licensed for medical use globally, but it is known to be a mild stimulant, says Hales. “Coca leaves have been used by native Andeans for centuries to overcome altitude sickness and this is attributed to their modest cocaine content. So perhaps it is not surprising that benefit can be derived from another, though mild, stimulant.”
()61. The underlined word “acclimatize” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ________.
A. adapt
B. interact
C. exist
D. object
()62. What does the experiment done in China reveal?
A. The higher altitude you are at, the slower your brain will be.
B. At 4，000 meters, the two subject groups show no difference.
C. Memory tests are beneficial to relieving attention difficulties.
D. “Smart drug”largely counters negative effects of altitude sickness.
()63. According to the passage, the root cause of the cognitive effects lies in ________．
A. physical tiredness
B. low oxygen content
C. cognitive training
D. extreme high altitude
()64. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Fight high anxiety
B. Oxiracetam—a magic drug
C. Keep sharp at altitude
D. Problems on high-altitude sites
D
If you read The fault in our stars only to find a young adult romance of Hazel Grace and Augustus Waters, then you definitely underestimate the power of sophisticated symbolism, emotions, and literature John Green offers. I remember someone saying “You_don't_read_a_great_book,__it_reads_you.” The fault in our stars is one of those books. It gives you the concept of what cancers are like, of how children in particular fight them, reveals and reminds you of your first love in life, always the youngest and the most innocent. I will resist my urge to tell you the plot and spoil the whole story, but I promise you every single page here is worth a great deal of excitement, humor and a bunch of other stuff listed down here which I think are interesting.
The book gives lives to where we find deaths. The joy of living comes in when terminal cancer is nothing more than ju st “a side effect of dying”，when you can laugh in the misfortunes of disease and say “I'm on a rollercoaster that only goes up, my friend.”The fault in our stars, however, starts with Hazel's “depression”like many of us starts a new day, Thus, Hazel's mother wants her cancer-stricken daughter to have a life, putting her in the Support Group. Later on, Issac and Augustus give her hope and something to believe in. The friendship tied by the shared intellectual curiosity and dreams. The story is so carefully plotted that even though Hazel doesn't go to school like other kids, her life is so in touch with ours. Everyone in a while will feel as if everything goes wrong, that it sucks at being what it's supposed to be. Bad grades, getting dumped, o r even having a terminal disease. “The pain demands to be felt.” But after all, how long should it take us to give sufferings a break is subject to be viewed personally, since it would determine whether or not we become a type of Peter V an Houten, Hazel's favorite writer in the novel.
John Green also cares about your dreams and ambitions. As you read through chapters, especially toward the end, you will find out Hazel and Augustus have widely different ideas of what they think is a “good life.”Here I find a reflection of my soul in Augustus's, with all his desire to leave a mark on the world. Such a guy he is seeking for glories and meanings of life, fearing most oblivion. Others may find themselves, in contrast, caring not about recognition. They are like Hazel Grace, seeing heroism as an act of noticing and loving and sharing. Both ideas are beautiful and proofed to be fearless to be together despite any mental or physical challenges lying on their way to the pursuit of happiness.
__①__ “Apparently, the world is not a wish-granting factory.”The book embraces the restless, innocent desires of young minds. __②__ Would you care for a trip to Amsterdam when you're at the 4th stage of cancer to find out what happens after the end of your favorite book? Would you dare to love the dying, to be okay to love when you're dying, or to forgive yourself for hurting those who love you in case you die? __③__ In the book, you will find John Green mentions about how “some infinities are greater than other infinities，”which means, I think, infinities can be defined, expanded and shrunk. __④__ Infinities are created by taking chances, and if we fail while doing so, then the fault is simply in our stars, not ourselves.
Funny, romantic, unputdownable and profound, The fault in our stars is definitely one of the best young adult fiction books in the century, It may touch the readers in many different ways. In here some will find humor, some will find encouragement, and some will find a book as a bond for a new love story. But if you insist that you only want to read a good love story in The fault of in our stars, that's fine too. It's an excellent book that reminds us of those who are important.
()65. The underlined part in Paragraph 1 implies ________.
A. readers' views tend to vary on the same book
B. readers choose books based on their tastes
C. books are created to cater to different needs
D. books can refresh readers' memories
()66. According to John Green, what is the basis for the friendship between Hazel and Augustus?
A. Dreaming of the same good life.
B. Suffering from the common disease.
C. Being curious and enterprising in life.
D. Being attracted to each other for uniqueness.
()67. The author believes that he is somewhat like ________.
A. Hazel
B. Issac
C. Augustus
D. Peter Van Houten
()68. Where does the sentence “We can all learn a lot from how Hazel and Augustus take chances
and make the best out of them.”belong?
A. ①
B. ②
C. ③
D. ④
()69. What is to blame if we fail to create infinities?
A. Our luck.
B. Our desire.
C. Our ability.
D. Our identity.
()70. Who is the book The fault in our stars mainly intended for?
A. Patients with terminal diseases.
B. Kids wishing for a bright future.
C. Adults recalling their golden days.
D. Teenagers with some life experience.
第四部分任务型阅读(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)
请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。
注意：请将答案写在横线上。每个空格只填1个单词。
Everything we do in life involves risk. In our professional lives, trying to avoid risk is itself a risk: work too cautiously, and we risk missing the chance to grow and shine, and our careers may suffer for it.
We cannot avoid risk yet we often avoid thinking about it. That is a shame, because if we think strategically about risk, we can use it to increase our chances of coming through difficult situations with our goals intact. Rather than pretending risk doesn't exist, why not learn to manage it to our own benefit?
The first step: Acknowledge the risks your projects face. Start by writing a list of the things that can go wrong. That may sound gloomy, but it's essential. Your list need not be very thorough, and probably never can be. But try to identify common risks—like the departure of a key colleague for a new job or the failure of a new technique upon which your project depends. The types of risks you identify will depend on the specifics of your work.
Once you have a list of risks, evaluate each one on two scales：
?Likelihood. Force yourself to honestly assess how likely each risk is.
?Impact. Then think about how much damage could occur under each situation.
Now it's time to draft a second, more-detailed list. Go back through your initial list and consider how you might make each potential negative outcome less likely to occur, and also how you might minimize the damage to your project if one does happen. In project-management term, this step is known as risk mitigation. A mitigation is anything that makes a risk less likely to spoil your overall goal.
Once you have drafted your list of mitigations, the final step is to go down that list and think about which ones are “worth it”. Look at all the information you've gathered about your risks and mitigations, and make a call about What it makes sense to do. You probably have more intuition in this area than you realize, because most of us instinctively do risk-mitigation calculations in the nonwork areas of our lives. For instance, every time you decide whether or not to buy a guarantee on a new electronic toy, you're doing this calculation in your head.
You have probably been intuitively doing some sort of risk analysis in your work life, too. Moving to a more explicit analysis(but one that is more qualitative than quantitative—unless you like to play with numbers) can encourage you to acknowledge when you're making overly optimistic assumptions. And this gives you a better chance to make plans that will withstand the failure of at least a couple of those assumptions.
Bringing your risk analysis out from the field of intuition can also help you overcome a tendency to overly ignore risk. It is easier to go ahead and take a big risk when you know that you have mitigations in place and a backup plan if things go wrong.
Thinking about risk can be a bit scary, but really, ignoring risk is the riskiest behavior of

81. 请认真阅读下面有关公共图书馆的文字及相关图表，并按照要求用英语写一篇150词左右的文章。
Libraries have always been at the heart of the communities they serve. They are accessible and safe spaces, providing access to huge resources of information and knowledge. Libraries have played an important role in helping generations of immigrants, young people, job seekers and readers to learn, stay connected and get ahead in life. Offering access to books, newspapers and, later, computers, they opened up a world of knowledge and ideas for millions of people. The public library transcends national and cultural boundaries—no matter where you are in the world, they are an essential part of creating and maintaining an educated and literate population.
But today, public libraries are at a turning point. The way we access and consume information has changed dramatically in the 21st century, and this presents major challenges and opportunities for public library systems across the world.
The advent of new technologies has changed some of our reading habits. But our need for shared, community-centred spaces to find information and connect with others is unlikely to change any time soon.

Though challenged by the development of new technologies and e-books, public libraries still play an important role in our life and appeal to increasing numbers of people, especially the young.
There are several reasons accounting for public libraries surviving the wave of digitalization. To begin with, they are open to all, providing free access to the latest resources and technologies. What's more, one of the drawbacks of digital materials is that they're not always trustworthy while public libraries can offer a large collection of reliable reference books. These practical functions aside, we still need the physical space, where we can concentrate on our study without easily getting distracted.
To better develop public libraries, the government should first give more financial support. Meanwhile, the facilities of the libraries are expected to be updated accordingly and the employees should be professional. Only in this way can libraries meet the needs of various age groups.
部分试题解析：
单项选择
21. B考查动词。swap意思是“交流，交换”，又如：They swapped stories about their army days. 他们互相讲述了他们在军队中的经历。circulate表示“循环，环行，传阅，传播，流传，流通”；spread表示“传播，伸展，散布”；plot表示“密谋，策划”。根据句意，选择B。
22. D考查形容词。《寻梦环游记》这部电影聚焦追寻梦想与珍惜亲情这两个经典永恒的主题，融合展现了丰富多彩的文化元素。universal theme 共同的主题。
23. A考查名词。gesture 除了表示“手势”之外，还可以表示“示意的或表明态度的(通常为友好的)动作或姿势”，又如：The invitation was meant as a friendly gesture. 那邀请是友好的表示。impact影响；scheme 计划、方案、阴谋；concept概念。根据句意，选择A。
31. C考查习语。face the music 自食其果；cry for the moon 要求不可能得到的东西；walk on eggshells 小心翼翼；wake a sleeping dog 自找麻烦。从答语知道老板是个挑剔的人，因此David一直小心翼翼。
33. B考查状语从句。句意为：很多人必须等到没有其它选择才会做出改变。此句中的will表示“愿意”。
35. D考查交际用语。it counts for nothing 这不算什么；it doesn't hurt to ask 问一下无妨；it's not the case 情况并非如此；it's all Greek to me这个我可一窍不通。
完形填空
内容梗概：适逢母亲90岁生日，且老人一直怀念自己的故居。女儿Emily按照原住所的形状，制作了木制的微缩复制品给母亲一个生日的惊喜，生日礼物唤起老人许多美好的回忆。
39. C考查形容词。从当前居住的小镇回到自己心爱的故居。
42. C考查名词。给母亲准备惊喜，故需要寻得“巧匠”而非仅仅对木工手艺的“热爱”。
43. B考查动词。compile“编制，编辑”。
44. A考查名词。这礼物和背后的故事值得提一提、说一说。
45. D考查动词。honour sth常表示“完成/兑现承诺的事情”，常见搭配有honour a promise等，honour sb表示“致敬”。
47. B考查名词。此句统领本段，着力描述“规划和设计的过程”。
49. A考查短语。visit with表示“和某人谈话”，hold with表示“批准，同意”。
50. C考查名词。从下句“She would tell me thoroughly what something looked like or where it was in the house.”可知，答案为arrangement，表示“摆布，摆放”。
54. B考查动词。在庆祝宴会上，Emily把精心准备和包装好的生日礼物送给母亲。这里选择wrap表示“包装，包裹”；sort“梳理，分类”，fold“折叠”常适用于纸质的物品，restore“修复”，这里的礼物是仿制品而非修复品。
阅读理解
A篇
内容梗概：作者向读者推荐了三个可以看到奇观的地方。
56. D细节理解题。从大约每11.2 years 的时间频率和significant rainfall 这一前提可知，这种景象很难看到，从季节来看在九至十一月之间，北半球美国和中国的四季划定基本一致。因此，答案为D。
B篇
内容梗概：随着科技的发展，摄像头、手机已广泛地应用在我们的工作和生活中，body cams(运动相机)也应运而生。作者对body cams的大量使用提出了自己的反思。
58. B题干中average people 是指普通人，未具体到行业和具体人群，故C和D选项不正确。
59. D此题考查对作者态度的推断。从文中中文注释“算法”后，“but at what cost to privacy and freedom of choice”得知，大公司搜集数据的做法对个人隐私和自由造成威胁，用者深表担忧。
60. D根据undesirable behavior定位到最后一段，其功能为“while those might not be desirable behavior, they oil the wheels o f our social interactions”，oil the wheel 表示“使……顺利进行，推进”之意。
C篇
内容梗概：“smart drug”(指能够提升智力的药物，主要成为Oxiracetam—奥拉西坦)能够缓减极度海拔所导致的认知障碍。文章虽以中国进行的实验为例，但文章来源于Ne w Scientist，而非国内网站。
61. A考查词义推断。根据下文的“this takes time and doesn't always work”来确定为adapt 最为贴切，C的exit多指“leave a place”。
62. B文中的实验为对比实验，组别是服药和不服药组，实验的目的不在于证明高度对人认知的影响(客观既存在事实)，而是证实“smart drug”是否对这样的认知障碍有缓减作用。
64. C考查语篇主旨。文章主体不是介绍Oxiracetam这种药，C选项中的sharp为intelligent, 和文章的cognitive difficult相对应。
D篇
内容梗概：本篇为一篇文学评论。《星运里的错》中文版译名为《无比美妙的痛苦》，作者为John Green。该书自2013年出版以来，连续80多周占据了《纽约时报》畅销书排行榜首位的位置。美国女诗人艾米莉·狄金森的诗歌《有一种斜落下来的幽光》，是小说灵魂所在，台湾著名已故文学家，诗人，散文家余光中先生曾有对该诗的一则译文，感兴趣的老师可自行百度探索。
65. D“You don't read a great book, it reads you.”这里的含义是书的内容能够使读者产生“共感”和“共鸣”，英文中经常以empathy和sympathy这两个词来进行表达。
66. C从原文第二段中“The friendship tied by the shared intellectual curiosity and dreams”可得出答案。干扰选项D和文章第三段中描述两个人“和而不同”，“you will find out Hazel and Augustus have widely different ideas of what they think is a ‘good life’．”相矛盾。
67. C从文章第三段“Here I find a reflection of my soul in Augustus's, with all his desire to
leave a mark on the world.”得知文章作者读后觉得Augustus更像是自己的缩影。
68. B从所给句子中“how Hazel and Augustus take chances and make the best out of them”得出下文将具体列出两个主角做了哪些take chances和make the best out of them的事例。
69. C通读倒数第二段进行理解两个主角做了什么，以理解take chances to create infinities，即“利用一切可能创造无尽的可能”，再着重理解最后一句的if we fail while doing so, fail和doing so的所指，可以知道“若我们在创造无尽可能时失败了，因为我们的努力抓住机遇，我们无须自责，而更应归咎于stars”；这里stars指的是星座，理解成命运或者是运气。
70. D本题考查对这本书主要受众体的推断。文章最后一段提及到“definitely one of the best young adult fiction book in the century”，再根据第一题设问中提到书能够引起共鸣得知，此书的受众体主要为“有一定阅历的青年人”。
任务型阅读
71. unavoidable/inevitable信息概括题。从第一段第一句话Everything we do in life involves risk以及第二段中We cannot avoid risk yet we often avoid thinking about it可以知道，无论我们做什么，风险都是不可避免的。故填unavoidable或inevitable。
74. allowance(s)信息转换题。由原文中Once you have a list of risks, evaluate each one on two scales可知列清单时要考虑两个方面，故考查了短语make allowance(s) of。
75. degree/extent信息概况题。由原文中Go back through your initial list and consider how you might make each potential negative outcome less likely to occur, and also how you might minimize the damage to your project if one does happen. 可知第二步要考虑如何尽量避免负面的结果发生以及万一发生了如何最大程度减少其伤害。故填degree或extent。
80. face/stand信息转换题。由原文中And this gives you a better chance to make plans that will withstand the failure of at least a couple of those assumptions 以及It is easier to go ahead and take a big risk when you know that you have mitigations in place and a backup plan if things go wrong. 可以知道填face/stand up to这个短语。

W: Good morning, boys and girls. In this talk I want to consider the work of Emily Morris, but before we study anything written by her it is important to know about her as a person I think. She was born in Manchester in 1854 and died in London in 1934. As for her background, it was not a particularly unusual one yet it is most important. She was the only daughter of quite rich parents. Her father was a tea merchant at a time when tea was growing in popularity, and he did well. Her mother died when she was two. Emily was the youngest child by some eight years. She had three brothers. They were all sent away to school, which was quite normal at that time of course. Emily remained at home, saw very little of them, and had a very lonely childhood in many ways. However she had a good education at home particularly from one teacher, a French woman called Sophie Durant. And with her she toured Southem Europe and often spoke of this as the most exciting time of her life. From this time came her first books, not novels, but three travel books. They were published but didn't sell well, although they are in fact very good indeed and of course have been republished since.

Last year, I heard about the Himalayas and the melting of the ice because of climate change. I decided to do a __36__ swim underneath Mt. Everest, the highest mountain on this earth.
When we got up to the small lake underneath the summit of Mt. Everest, I prepared myself in __37__ ways, for this swim would be so difficult. I put on my iPod, listened to some music, got myself as __38__ as possible and then I __39__ myself into that water. I swam as __40__ as I could for the first hundred meters. Afterwards I __41__ the huge problem on my hands. My fingers were __42__ the size of sausages because—you know, we're made partially of water—when water freezes it __43__. I then could barely breathe, began to __44__ and even threw up in the water. It all happened so quickly. I don't know why, but I went __45__. Luckily, the water was quite shallow, and I was able to push myself __46__ the bottom of the lake. I've heard it said that drowning is the most __47__ death you can have. I have never, ever heard such nonsense.
In our camp, I __48__ about what had gone wrong there on Mt. Everest with my crew. My team just gave it to me __49__. “Lewis, you need to have a complete __50__ if you want to __51__ it. Every single thing you've learned in the past 23 years of swimming, you must __52__. And also the every single thing you learned when you were __53__ in the British army, about speed and aggression. This is the time to swim with real __54__.”
I can't tell how good and __55__ I felt when I swam to the other side two days later. But I
learned a very, very important lesson there on Mt. Everest: just because something worked in the past so well, it doesn't mean it's going to work in the future.

Lisbon to Sintra Overview
Sintra is 25km to the west of Lisbon. We strongly discourage driving to Sintra, as the narrow hill roads are not designed for the heavy tourist traffic and there is virtually no car parking once there. There are bus services to Sintra, but the journey times are longer than by train and the locations of the bus stations are not as convenient as the train stations.
The trains to Sintra are operated by the national train company of Portugal. There are two rail routes between Lisbon to Sintra, both equally useful for tourists. These services are：
1) Rossio Station to Sintra
2) Oriente station to Sintra, via Areeiro, Entrecampos, and Sete Rios stations
The Rossio service is the one typically used by most visitors, as it departs from the historic centre of Lisbon. The train departing from Oriente station is generally used by those visitors travelling onward to Sintra, as this route is closer to the airport, the main bus stations and train station.
As the Lisbon to Sintra railway is an urban route, tickets and seats cannot be pre-booked, but there is no real need as there is usually plenty of free seats. Due to the popularity of Sintra there can be long queues at Rossio station for tickets, our advice is always start a trip to Sintra as early in the day as possible.
All of Lisbon's train stations are considered as being in the same fare zone, so no matter the departing station the fare to Sintra will always be the same. A single from Lisbon to Sintra passes
