Hottest Travel Destinations

Sometimes figuring out the best place to go can be difficult. Here are some hottest travel destinations that

offer some of the most beautiful, artistic, and fashionable places on the globe.

Ibiza, Spain

While Ibiza is knownas a party city, there is far more to do in this historic town than simply drink and dance

under the stars. Built mainly in the second century, it’s a world heritage site with architecture dating back to as

early as the 7th century. Don’t miss Charo Ruiz, Ibiza’s most famous fashion brand. Plus, the Ibiza Fashion Festival

takes place every June.

Tangier, Morocco

Known as the “door to Africa”, Tangier has a rich and complex history dating back thirty centuries. It has all

the beauty of the natural world. After spending a morning sunbathing by the Mediterranean Sea, get in some

amazing shopping and discover great deals on everything. Before you head home, stop off in Marakesh to visit

some of the top Moroccan designers.

Havana, Cuba

Stepping onto the streets of Havana feels like stepping back in time. For a day of sightseeing, check out the

remaining architecture of Old Havana, which was built ten centuries ago. You can easily do it with one of the area’s

many walking tours. Or visit the Museum of Rum for a taste of the island’s most popular wine. You might come

across a clothing shop offering some classic finds!

Melbourne Australia

Built largely during the 1850s gold rush, Melbourne remains as alive as ever. Make sure to check out the

hottest Australian brands. Moreover, visit the Block Arcade in Collins Street to see some of the 19th century

Why doesHaitiso tend to have fatal earthquakes? Earthquakes have been causing huge damage inHaitisince

at least the 18th century. The capital city has been destroyed twice in 19 years. The 21st century has beenno more

kind.

The Earth’s outer shell is made tip of tectonic plates (构造板块) that its near the crossing of two

tectonic plaits that make up the Earth’s outer shell. Earthquakes can occur when those plates move against each

other and create friction (摩擦力).

Haitiis also overpopulated. Plus, many of its buildings are designed to resist hurricanes but not earthquakes.

Those buildings can survive strong winds bat are easy to fail down when the ground shrikes. Poor building

practices can also play arole.

“I think it’s important to recognize that there’s no such thing as a natural disaster,” said Wendy Bohon, a

geologist. “What you have is a natural disaster that comes with a weak architecture system. We do know that

earthquakes like this can cause huge damage because ofthefault,” said Wendy. “And it’s quite a significant risk in

places that don’t have the construction practices to resist the shaking.”

Construction of more earthquake-resistant buildings remains a challenge inHaiti, which is the poorest nation

in theWestern Hemisphere. “While there have been some success stories of Haitians building more

earthquake-resistant structures, the country has lacked a centralized effort to do so,” said Mark Schuller, a

professor of anthropology and nonprofit and NGO studies ’s government has

become increasingly weak, while non-governmental organizations only focus on their own projects.

“There is technical knowledge inHaiti, There are trained architects. There are cityplanners. That’s not the

problem,” Schuller said. “The problem is a lack of funding for coordination (协调), and lack of political will from

donors to organizations providing aid.”

4. Which factor causing the huge damage is highlighted?

A. Its overpopulation. B. Its weak government.

C. Its geographical location. D. Its weak architecture system.

5. What does the underlined part “the fault” in paragraph 4 refer to?

A Lacking political will to provide aid.

B. Lacking hurricane-resistant; buildings.

C. Lacking earthquake-resistant buildings.

D. Sitting on the crossing of two tectonic plates.

6. What’s Schuller’s attitude towardsHaiti’s government?

A Supportive. B. Critical.

C. Indifferent. D. Interested.

7. Which of the following can be a problem according tothe last paragraph?

A. Fund and will. B. Skilled architects.

C. Urban designers. D. Technology and money.

The COVID-19 vaccination（接种疫苗）rate in the US has fallen to newlows in recent weeks, threatening

President Joe Biden’s goal of having 70 percent of American adults with at least one shot by July 4.

With just less than one month from July 4, the current vaccination rate will put the US at somewhere

between 67 percent and 68 percent of the adult population with at least one dose（剂量）by Independence Day. To

reach 70 percent by July 4, around 1.6 percent of the population needs to get their first dose per week from now

until July 4.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention（CDC）reported last week that 63 percent of adults

hadreceived their first dose of a COVID-19 vaccine. That was up slightly from 62 percent from the report a week

before. The additional 1 percent of adults completing their first dose is the lowest since the CDC started tracking

the vaccination rate in mid-February.

On average, fewer than 1 million shots are given out per day, a decline of more than two-thirds from the peak

of 3.4 million in April, The Washington Post reported. In South Carolina, about 71,000 residents got a shot in the

week leading up to June 3, compared to a high of nearly 300,000 in one week in early April, according to data from

the CDC.

The slowdown is moreprominentacross the South and Midwest. Twelve states have seen vaccinations fall to

15 daily shots per 10,000 residents. Less than a quarter of black Americans had received their first COVID-19 shot

as of June 7.

James Hildreth, CEO of Meharry Medical College, told Politico, “We need to make a stronger effort to bring

the vaccine to the communities, rather than relying on the communities to come to vaccination centers.”

The sharp decline in vaccination began in mid-April when federal officials temporarily stopped the use of the

Johnson＆Johnson vaccine while they investigated rare blood-clotting（凝血）reactions.

The “low-hanging fruit—thosepeople who ly want to get vaccinated without you telling them anything” have

already been vaccinated, which has led to the slowdown, Dr Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of

Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said on a White House-organized call with community leaders last week, according

to the Post.

8. What can we learn from the text?

A. Dr Anthony Fauci is in charge of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

B. In South Carolina, about 300,000 residents got a shot in the week leading up to June 3

C. In mid-April federal officials temporarily suspended the Johnson＆Johnson vaccine.

D. Less than one fourth of Americans had received their first COVID-19 shot by June 7.

9. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “prominent” in Para. 5?

A. Meaningful. B. Obvious. C. Inspiring. D. Complex.

10. How can America increase the COVID-19 vaccination rate according to James Hildreth?

A. By giving the vaccine shot at the communities.

B. By offering the vaccine to the public for free.

C. By frequently informing the public of the vaccine.

D. By urging the communities to come to vaccination centers.

11. What can be the best title for the text?

A. Biden wishes to have 70% of adults with one shot by July 4

B. CDC has been trackingthe vaccination rate since mid-February

C. Some Americans need to get vaccinated without telling them to

D. Biden’s July 4th vaccine goal may be missed

that, although he visits them for only a few hours a week, they look forward to it. They appreciate his visit because

they know he has limited time he can devote to them. They must take advantage of it to learn.

You can run pretty much anywhere, with pretty much no equipment. So it must be easy to start-just put one foot

in front of the other, right?

Not quite.

Starting a new training program, like most things, is stepping into unfamiliar area.___16___. Most people start out

too hard, which leads to unnecessary tiredness and possible injury; or they just bum out, feeling that the last

thing they want to do is go out for another heavy, painful run. Getting past that early period is the key to both

running's benefits and pleasures.

___17___You may want to start running to make your heart stronger, to up your endurance for other sports, or

even just to fit into your tux（晚礼服,）again. Those are all worthy goals and setting them is a valuable aid to

getting where you want to go.

If you like a challenge, your goal might be running the local 5K, or something more ambitious, like finishing a

Tough Mudder obstacle run or qualifying for the Boston Marathon. A typical beginner who trains

properly—without overdoing it — can safely finish a 5K after about three months.___18___

Whatever you decide to aim for, committing to it will help your progress greatly.___19___. While a short, easy

run a few times a week is better than nothing, it's not nearly as exciting as looking up at — then reaching — the

next level.
