My first visit to London was one and a half years ago.It was a wonderful trip.I

stayed in the city for three weeks,and I had many impressions.I visited all the famous

places and I’d like to tell you about some of the places I visited in this beautiful

city.

First,I went to the Tower of London,and I want to say that it is a very

interesting historic place.I found out that a long time ago,it was a ter

it became a castle for the royal family.Or maybe it is the reverse;I’m not sure,but

later they left this place and lived in Buckingham Palace and Kensington Palace.I

also enjoyed visiting the House of Parliament and Westminister Abbey,two very

popular places for tourists.They are very old and beautiful.

In London,you can also enjoy nature.There are many parks such as Hyde Park,Green

Park,and Holland Park.These parks are wonderful green,quiet places where you can

relax and escape the noise of the city.Trafalgar Square is a popular place for

students and other young people.You will find lots of pigeons there.If you have

time,you can feed them and they will be very happy.You can buy special food for

them,but be careful!Tons of birds are going to surround you if you feed them.

Another very special place in London that I like is St.Paul’s Cathedral which

was designed by Sir Christopher Wren.I also was impressed with the museums in

London.They’re very popular and you can learn a lot about the history of England.

I had a wonderful time in London.I really liked it because it is a city that

is rich in history.

Garrett Celestin,15,set sail on an amazing adventure(冒险经历) to help the

environment.He tells TFK all about it.

A year ago,the word Pangaea(pan-jee-ah) meant very little to me.Then my younger

brother brought home a TFK magazine with an article about a world explorer named

Mike Horn.The article explained that kids could join Horn as he sailed across the

world,working to save the planet.This past summer,I received the most exciting news

of my life:I was selected to go to Malaysia in Horn’s Pangaea sailboat.

Pangaea’s goal is to cross every ocean and visit every continent.Pangaea stands

for Pan Global Adventure for Environmental Action,and the sailing’s motto is

“Explore,learn,act.”My part of the voyage,with seven other young explorers from

around the world,began on October 25,2009.

Horn believes that seeing the beauty of our planet makes us want to help protect

it.We explored Malaysia’s beaches,forests,caves and underwater wonders.We saw many

different kinds of animals.

A scientist in the boat helped us with five different projects.We collected

information about coral reefs.We built what will hopefully become a coral reef by

creating a structure out of metal bars.Throughout the journey,we cleaned up beaches.

My exciting time in Horn’s boat taught me that I can do anything I set my mind

to,and that together,we can save the world.

5We can learn from the passage that Pangaea is the name of .

A.a boat

B.a coral reef

C.an explorer D.a website

答案A

解析细节理解题。根据第二段最后的“...I was selected to go to Malaysia in Horn’s

Pangaea sailboat.”可知,Pangaea是一艘船的名字。

6The underlined word “it” in Para.4 refers to .

A.Malaysia B.the beach

C.the sea D.the earth

答案D

解析代词指代题。“Horn believes that seeing the beauty of our planet makes us want

to help protect it”的句意是:Horn认为,领略我们这个星球的美丽会让我们愿意去保护它。故此处的it指代的是地球。
