海南省东方市琼西中学2019-2020学年高一下学期英语第二次月考试卷 一、阅读理解(共10小题；每小题2.5分；满分37.5分) 1．（2020高一下·东方月考）阅读理解 Plan your 2020 vacation. The following four places are your fantastic destinations. You can enjoy a completely different experience. Panama Costa Rica and the Caribbean often enjoy much more popularity than Panama, but visitors should consider the centre American country if they want a" less crowded paradise". The travel site states," Here, horses are still the primary means of transportation and local fishermen serve fresh seafood and fruit from their home kitchens for roughly $ 6 a plate." Israel If you're looking for a once in a lifetime experience, National Geographic Travel says visitors should head to Jerusalem to celebrate Easter with thousands of pilgrims (朝圣者). If the crowds get too huge, visitors are told to take a boat ride to King Herod's 2000 year old Masada fortress(要塞) or set off on a peaceful morning boat ride across the sea of Galilee. Svalbard If you're a fan of winter activities, but are in need of some sun, then perhaps a trip to Svalbard is a good choice. National Geographic Travel notes," The Norwegian archipelago of Svalbard is located about 620 miles south of the North Pole. In late spring, the sun never falls below the horizon—meaning you can take in all the Vitamin D you desire." Popular activities in the area include hiking and wildlife spotting.

In college, you will have to work on a group project. If you're lucky, most of the students in your group will care about what they are doing and actually work as a team, but that's not always the case. This is where volunteer experience can pay off. When you volunteer for an event, you don't always know who you will be working with, but you know that the job needs to be completed on time.
