I just visited Machu Picchu in Peru today. Ive never seen such a great place before. This place is so amazing that I want to share my feelings with you.When I first got to Machu Picchu, I felt like I was walking in the sky. Even the clouds were just under my feet. Do you know how high Machu Picchu is? I was surprised that it was at about 2,500m. How could people build a city on such a high mountain? It must have been very difficult to move stones there.Before the Europeans arrived, the Incas (印加人) were the last and the most modern society in the Andes (安第斯山). The Incas were afraid that the Spanish would find them, so they built Machu Picchu on an Andes plain (平地) as a secret city in the 14th or 15th century. As a result, the Spanish never found Machu Picchu.An American explorer discovered Machu Picchu in 1911. For a long time before that, nobody even knew Machu Picchu was there. After Machu Picchu was found, it was called “The Lost City of the Incas”. It is still a mystery why and how Machu Picchu was left and forgotten by everyone.I just had a wonderful day. Especially, I will never forget the “goodbye boy” who was a local boy dressed in traditional Inca clothes. When we went down the mountain by bus, the boy waved goodbye to us until we were out of sight (视线). He shouted some words at us too, and I guess, it meant, “Goodbye, come back again soon!” Why dont you visit Machu Picchu someday? I am sure you will love this place as much as I do.Yours truly,Lynn（1）Why did the Incas build Machu Picchu on an Andes plain? A . Because they were modern and rich.B . Because there were too many Incas.C . Because the view on the Andes was beautiful.D . Because they wanted to protect themselves from the Spanish.（2）Which of the statement about Machu Picchu is NOT right? A . It was about 2,500m high.B . It was difficult to move the stones to build Machu Picchu.C . An American found the secret city in the 14th or 15th century.D . Its a mystery that nobody knew Machu Picchu was there until 1911.（3）From the underlined sentence in the last paragraph, we know the “goodbye boy” was _. A . friendlyB . poorC . shyD . hard-working（4）The purpose of Lynn to write the letter is _. A . to show the beauty of Machu PicchuB . to study the history of Machu PicchuC . to share his valuable moment with EdwardD . to remember the “goodbye boy”五、 阅读下面两篇短文，根据短文内容选择正确答案。 (共2题；共10分)15. （5分）（2017沈阳）阅读理解As an exchange student，I must admit （承认） that at first America was a big culture shock for meI stayed with a host family in a small townMy host parents organized a lot of activities in my spare time so that I wouldnt miss home or feel lonelyHowever，life was hard to get used toMy main problem was with the languageI failed to understand much in the first few weeks because everyone spoke so fastThoughI managed to get used to itI still have problems because they used a lot of idioms （习语）Another difference was with the foodMy host family always had bread，potatoes and salad for mealsI really miss the dumplings，rice and delicious dishes from homeSchool was a big shock tooThey do not require students to wear uniforms，so students can wear almost whatever they likeSome students have strange hairstyles （发型） as wellSome students even have pink or purple hair!By Brad LiMy dream was to see some real snow，so during the Christmas holiday，we took our passport （护照） and flew over the Pacific to Calgary，CanadaWe took a bus to a ski resort in the Canadian RockiesAs the bus climbed through the mountains，we saw the thick snow on the treesI was dying to get out and play with itAt last，we reached the resort and quickly jumped out of the busThis was our first experience with snowWe were like little childrenwe made snow balls，and threw them at one anotherThen we check in at the hotelThe next day，we put on our ski suits and gloves，took our skis and went outside onto the snowOur instructor took us to a gentle slope （斜坡），and showed us some basic skillsTo be honest，the first lesson was not a great successI kept on falling over，and I had to hold on to a rope to keep my balance （平衡）However，the next day，I only fell over a few times，and I managed to do a few rapid runsI felt pleased with myself，and my instructor told me I was doing much betterAlthough it was very cold，I spent most of my holiday skiingI had a wonderful timeBy Vanessa（1）Brad Li seemed to tell us that his host parents A . were very activeB . were very kindC . felt lonelyD . felt unhappy（2）Which of the following shows America was a big culture shock for Brad Li？aPeople used a lot of idiomsbHe stayed with a host family in a small towncHis host family always had dumplings for mealsdStudents are not required to wear uniforms at schoolA . a； cB . b； dC . a； dD . b； c（3）After landing on Calgary airport，Vanessa went to a ski resort A . by busB . by trainC . by shipD . by plane（4）How did Vanessa react （反应） when she saw the snow for the first time？A .

Ever since I was a five-year-old girl, I wrote stories in my notebooks and on small pieces of paper. I told stories to my friends. As a grown-up, I have written over 100 books! Thats a lot! As a teacher, its my goal to encourage all of my students to love to write.Writing is easy if youre careful enough, I told them. Everyone I meet is a possible character.Everything I see or do is a possible scene in a book. Start looking around you. Youll be amazed at what you discover.Anyone can be a writer. You just put your pencil on your paper and write what you like to read, step by step: Create great characters. If you know your characters well, theyll write the story for you. Interest the reader right at the beginning. You can start your stories with dialogue or action. If you can make the reader ask questions, then he has to keep reading to find out the answers. Follow the steps. The steps for every story are almost the same: Introduce the characters and the conflict(争端);things get worse; all seems lost; the hero saves the day! Balance is the key.Remember, when writing, it doesnt hurt to add some humor(幽默).（1）What did the writer begin to do when she was five years old?（2）Whats the writers goal as a teacher?（3）How many steps are mentioned about writing according to this passage?（4）Does the writer think it hurts to add some humor when writing?（5）What does the passage mainly talk about?25. （1分）根据材料内容，从下面五个选项中选出能填入文中空缺处的最佳选项，使短文意思通顺、内容完整。 Reading makes one wise, but many adults seldom read. _Sure.
