About five or six years ago I went to London for the first time. It was in the summer holidays and I went with my    11   . It was quite expensive by plane or train, so we    12    to travel by coach(长途汽车). We left at five in the morning and the    13    took about sixteen hours. We stayed in London for three days, in a youth hotel not far from the city centre. My friends and I    14    a big room on the top floor. The beds were not very comfortable and the bathroom was very small,    15    it had a wonderful view overlooking the River Thames.

While we were in London we went to a lot of places. On the first day, we went to see all the main sights(名胜),    16    Big Ben, Piccadilly Circus, and Buckingham Palace. On the second day, we went shopping on Oxford Street. On the    17    day, my friends and I went to Camden Market. You can buy all kinds of jewelry and clothes there. I bought a silver    18    for my sister. It was really sunny in the afternoon, so we went to watch a football game. Unluckily, I think the ring fell out of    19    pocket during the game, and I had to buy another one.

I really enjoyed visiting London, although the youth hotel was not    20   . Next time, I will stay at a wonderful hotel, but I guess I will never feel as excited as I did that first time.

We had so much fun. I’ll n50． forget that day.

    Egypt is one of the oldest civilizations (文明) in the world. It has great culture and history. Let’s take a look at some wonderful places in the country.

Arabian Desert

Do you think it might be fun to ride a camel in the desert? If so, you should go to the Arabian Desert. It is also known as the Eastern Desert. It takes up nearly one-quarter of Egypt's land. Riding a camel is fun. Camels kneel down to let you sit on them.

Luxor

If you want to see ancient palaces and buildings, Luxor is a great place to go. People there call it the "open-air museum of ancient Egypt". Many people visit Luxor every year. Some famous places there include the Valley of the Kings and the Valley of the Queens.

The Great Sphinx

The Great Sphinx is a statue of a lion with a man's head. It's very large. The Sphinx is about 240 feet long (about 73 m) and 65 feet high (about 20m). Its eyes are two meters high! For hundreds of years, the Sphinx has guarded(守卫) the Great Pyramid of Khufu.

 If you look around the streets of London, you'll see the many methods people use to move around. Whether ifs a way to work, a trip to the shops, or a sightseeing trip, there are people on buses, the underground, cars, motorbikes, bicycles and even roller skates. The roads are already    50    : and now there's a new addition: electric, or "e-scooters".

This traditional children's vehicle has become more welcomed over the years. And now, with a small electric motor, it's become a cheap and easy way of    51    . Scooting around town can be fun and doesn't need much effort, so they're becoming increasingly welcomed in cities around the world. But following some serious accidents caused by an electric scooter in the UK, questions are being asked about their safety and    52    traffic laws should be changed.

Some scooter riders have been seen on pavements; others on the road jumping red traffic lights, adding to traffic jams on the road. In the UK, the law says that riding one on the public highway or pavement is not    53    . Riders now face a £300 punishment and six points on their driving license for doing so. But, still e-scooters can be seen    54    . And now users are calling on rules to be changed.

The UK government is looking at how safely they can be used on the road and is examining the law again. But the official said, "It is an    55    product. We know there is need among people. However, safety must always be the first to consider when talking about their use on public highways in this country."

There are dangers in riding a two-wheeled scooter. Some of them can drive at high speed, over 30mph. They sometimes only have one brake (刹车) and no lights. It seems more work needs to be done to give e-scooters a safe and right space to travel in.

50．A．cleaned           B．cleared                   C．crowded                 D．covered

51．A．transport         B．calculation              C．fashion                   D．business

52．A．when              B．whether                  C．what                      D．who

53．A．touched           B．designed                 C．programmed           D．allowed

54．A．somewhere      B．nowhere                 C．everywhere             D．anywhere
