二、题型精练：阅读理解
On September 15, El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras celebrate their own independence days. On October
16, Mexico follows suit. Each country above has its own nature, but what combines them is local traditions and
Spanish culture. Here are four destinations worthy of planning a trip.
Tazumal, El Salvador
El Salvador is home to some rather impressive Mayan ruins that show off this once great civilization. Tazumal
is one such place, which is believed to be more than 7,000 years old and was left abandoned sometime around the
13th century. However, large areas were extensively restored in the 40s’ and 50s’, giving visitors a taste of the
past.
Antigua, Guatemala
The 16th-century city of Antigua is surrounded by volcanoes, churches, and Baroque buildings, combining
European style with pre-Hispanic traditions, making its way to the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites. It’s
possible to visit most of its attractions on foot, including the Arco de Santa Catalina, the Central Park, and the
Palacio del Ayuntamiento.

Comayagua, Honduras
Honduras may be well-known for its beaches, and one worthy of your travels is the city that was once the
capital: Comayagua. Founded in the early 1500s, a visit here is like traveling back in time. Several museums
showcase the cultural richness and the must-see clock in the central square, which is the oldest clock in the continent,
dating back to the 12th century.
Veracruz, Mexico
Veracruz is a natural beauty with beaches that stretch for as far as the eye can see, deep blue waves and
powerful waterfalls. When visiting Veracruz, stop by the Zocalo in Downtown Veracruz, where locals gather to
listen to “son jarocho”, a regional folk music style that started right here. Couples also gather to dance in the square.
But not just any dance, rather they take part in Danzόn, a traditional couples dance iconic (标志性的) to this
particular state.

Best places to visit in the UK
London: The UK's All-in-One Destination
While it's possible to plan a trip to the UK without visiting London, it's certainly not to be advised. The nation's
capital offers plenty of attractions to keep you busy. For those interested in learning more about the UK's rich history,
one of the top things to do in London is visit the Tower of London. Located beside the Tower Bridge on the banks
of the River Thames, this former palace and prison includes highlights such as the iconic 1,000-year-old White
Tower, with its fascinating displays of armor and weaponry, and the Jewel House, home to the Crown Jewels.
Edinburgh; Scotland's Capital
One of Scotland's most attractive cities, the capital city of Edinburgh is also one of the UK's most visited
destinations. Popular for its many well-preserved historic buildings, Edinburgh is perhaps best known as the home
of the Edinburgh Castle.
Other Edinburgh highlights include broad Princes Street, popular for its shopping and dining, as well as for
the Royal Botanical Garden and the National Gallery of Scotland.
Medieval (中世纪的) York and its Minster
One of northern England's most popular tourist destinations, the medieval city of York, long the
ecclesiastical (教会的) capital of the Church of England, boasts one of the country's most magnificent cathedrals (教
堂). The country's largest medieval church, York Minster can trace its roots back to the spread of Christianity in the
3rd century, although the splendid present Gothic structure was built almost 1,000 years later.
Highlights of a tour include the opportunity to view its 14th-century stained glass windows, plus the richly
decorated interiors of the choir and north transept. Also worth a visit is the crypt, which contains parts of the original
11th-century church the cathedral now stands on.

The Sahara Desert
Location
Filling nearly all of northern Africa, the Sahara Desert measures approximately 3, 000 miles from east to west
and between 800 and 1, 200 miles from north to south. 1 The Sahara Desert is bordered in the west by the
Atlantic Ocean, in the north by the Atlas Mountains and the Mediterranean Sea, in the east by the Red Sea, and in
the south by the Sahel.
Landscape
The Sahara Desert features iconic sand dune (沙丘) fields, which cover about 15 percent of the entire desert’s
surface and lie primarily in the north-central region. 2 A few examples include crescent (新月形的) dunes,
linear dunes, transverse dunes and star dunes. These dunes, with their various forms, raise many questions about the
dynamics of their formation.
Water
3 Its age-old rivers are the Nile and the Niger. The Nile rises south of the Sahara and empties into the
Mediterranean. The Niger rises southwest of the Sahara and flows northeastward into Mali. 4 It is the
expansive but shallow Lake Chad, a body of water that lies at the southernmost edge of the Sahara. Other lakes
