The Gold Coast family holidays are always great fun whether you are from Australia or from abroad. There are beautiful beaches，adventure parks，nature parks and so much more.
There are so many sights to see here. It is a pity to drive a car and you'll miss a great part of it. Australia is home to many animals and birds that can only be seen when you move slowly and go into the areas where they live.
When you are on a bicycle，you have the strength of being able to stop whenever you want to see an interesting animal or bird that you have never seen before. It is a quieter way of transportation as well，so you might even be able to take a picture. When you are on the beach，you can breathe that clean air and view the beauty of the water and sand. It is a totally different experience from either simply sunbathing or passing it in a car.
There are many choices of hiring a bicycle to experience the Gold Coast attractions. There are stores that will fit a bike perfectly to your size. These bikes for both adults and children are in many styles and colors to please any taste. If you have ever wanted to try a tandem bike(双人单车)，it is your chance now，because they have those too.
The bicycle hire on the Gold Coast is something that everyone should try at least once. This is a wonderful chance for anyone who likes to cycle and it is also a cheap way to travel with your family.

People who like travelling have their reasons. They believe that travelling can help them expand their field of view，especially in the geographical and historical sense. They also think that touring will give them more chances to enjoy different kinds of food and experience new things that would never be brought by other activities. But those who dislike travelling also have some reason.
Travelling，in my opinion，does more good than harm. Most importantly，it broadens(使扩大)our mind. We can get in touch with other civilizations(文明)，cultures，customs and ideas.
Through history，most people travelled because of necessity(必要性)—not for pleasure. People travelled just in order to remain alive. They searched for food to eat or places to live in. They sometimes ran away from enemies. This is not to say that no one ever travelled just for fun of it. In ancient times，for example，rich Romans travelled all the way to Greece to take part in the Olympic Games，and festivals. Of course，some people decided to travel just out of curiosity. They wanted to find out what it looked like beyond the horizon(地平线)．Also business travel has been going on for centuries. Traders could not only make money but also learn to speak several languages and be introduced to different cultures.
So，travelling does enrich our mind and draw new ideas to us. There is no doubt that we can get much from it.
1．The underlined word“expand”in Paragraph 1 can be replaced by“ ”．
A．widen B．protect
C．lose D．decide
2．According to the passage，in the past most people travelled ．
A．for fun B．for knowledge
C．to get experiences D．to make a living
3．How many reasons for travelling are mentioned in Paragraph 3
A．Three. B．Four.
C．Five. D．Six.
4．In the author's opinion，travelling can be ．
A．expensive B．funny
C．helpful D．tiring

We have most friends at the age of 26 after having spent the first quarter of our lives building up our friendship circle，a new research has claimed.
The research into friendship shows that our social circle peaks at 26 years and 7 months，at which we typically have five close friends. Women are most popular at 25 years and 10 months，with men hitting the highest friendship point a little later at 27 years and 3 months.
The research，by Forever Friends，shows that about a third of adults meet their closest friends while at school，with about a fifth saying they meet them at work.
Social networks such as Facebook and Twitter now also play a major role in building new friendship. The research points out that 25 to 34 year olds make 22 friends via Facebook，compared to 18 to 24 year olds who make 12，and 35 to 44 year olds who make just four.
Forever Friends' relationship coach Sam Owen says：“It is no coincidence that over a third of us meet our best friends at school. It is a key time in our lives when friendship is growing through sharing notes，giving gifts，seeing each other regularly and laughing a lot. As adults we can often forget how powerful these small things are and how the little things can make a difference.”
Later in life we find ourselves losing friends. Over half of us lose friendship through moving，while 36% say that over time they grow apart from close pals. Having children also causes 19% to drift away from childhood friends.
With growing pressures being pat on friendship these days，it's important to make time for our friendship.
1．How many friends can a 20 year old college student make via Facebook
A．4. B．12. C．18. D．22.
2．In Paragraph 5，the author is trying to tell the readers ．
A．how important making friends is
B．that friendship is not easy to keep
C．how much has been done to keep friendship
D．that friendship at school is important
3．The underlined phrase “drift away from” in Paragraph 6 means“ ”．
A．make sense of B．lose contact with
C．feel sorry for D．make up with
4．This passage is most probably taken from ．
A．Facebook or Twitter B．an advertisement
C．a textbook D．a newspaper

【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了在澳大利亚的金沙滩一家人可以进行的活动，尤其是骑自行车出行。
1．C [细节理解题。根据第二段中的第二句“It is a pity to drive a car and you'll miss a great part of it.”可知，作者建议最好不要开车进去，因为如果开车进去，你就会错过欣赏美丽的景色，故答案为C。]
2．D [细节理解题。根据第三段中提到的骑自行车的好处可知，可以看见有趣的动物或鸟，可以照相，可以欣赏美丽的景色；根据最后一段可知，它是一种便宜的交通方式，故选项D没有提到，答案为D。]

2．D [细节理解题。根据第五段Sam Owen所讲的话的第二句“It is a key time in our lives when friendship is growing through sharing notes，giving gifts，seeing each other regularly and laughing a lot.”可知，学校时光是人生中建立友谊的重要阶段，这时候的友谊成长于分享笔记、赠送礼物、互相探望、一起欢笑中，故D项正确。]
