25、Macao is only forty miles from Hong Kong and it is easy to reach. You can get there by sea. It is an interesting place and it has a long history. Macao is a part of China and most people living there are Chinese.

The first Europeans to go to Macao came from Portugal. More than four hundred years ago the Portuguese went there to trade（做生意）with China. Some settled and made their homes there. They built strong forts（城堡）to guard the city and the harbor（港口）. They also built churches, schools, hospitals and other places. Slowly the city grew. People from many countries came to live and work in Macao.

Today many people visit Macao. Some only go there to watch dog-racing or motor-racing or to “gamble ”with their money, whether they lose or win. But Macao is a quiet and peaceful place. It is pleasant just to walk around and look at the old buildings and forts. You feel you are back in the old days. Of course, some of the buildings are now in ruins（毁坏）. The Church of St. Paul has only the front wall with many steps leading up to it. But it is still interesting to see.

26、How would we travel without maps? It would be a bit adventurous (冒险的) to set off from Oxford University to go to London Bridge if there wasn't a map of the London Underground at each station. In fact, a lot of the early map-makers were adventurers and explorers, especially in the 15th and 16th centuries.

So what did people do before there were maps? Well, it was quite easy to use natural signs like mountains and rivers if you were travelling on foot or riding a horse. People took small boats down rivers and followed coastlines. And it was much more logical (合理的) to use time, not distance, to measure (计量) journeys: the next village is a three-hour ride, for example.

In fact, in the earliest maps, people didn't draw landmarks. They drew the stars. It was very easy to see the night sky and use it for navigation (航行). The sky was a lot clearer before the light pollution from cities that we have today. When towns and cities were built, people drew road maps which gave correct distances and directions.

The London Underground was opened in 1863 and it also used a road map style. But a man called Henry Beck realized that travelling by train wasn't the same as driving your car across London. Passengers only needed to know which stations to change at. His new design (设计) for the Underground map wasn't very popular with the train companies at first. But the passengers loved it and in 1933, 700,000 copies were printed.

These days, of course, you can ride a bike, drive a car or go through a forest and know where you are exactly, using a GPS. It's really difficult to get lost!

【1】【1】What was drawn in the earliest maps?

A. Stars.

B. Landmarks.

C. Cities and towns,

D. Mountains and rivers.

【2】【2】When did road maps come out?

A. Around 15th and 16th centuries.

B. When people began to travel by train.

C. When people began to travel by sea.

D. When cities and towns appeared.

【3】【3】Which of the following is true?

A. A GPS helped people to travel long time ago.

B. Ancient people could travel on a horse without maps.

C. The sky was polluted by light before cities were built.

D. Henry Beck's map wasn't popular with the passengers.

【4】【4】What is the main idea of the passage?

A. Maps have a long history.

B. We never get lost these days.

C. We can't travel without maps.

D. Henry Beck designed a new map.

28、根据短文内容及所给提示，在文中的空白处填写一个正确的单词。

Can you climb trees? Maybe your parents ever told you, “Don't climb trees. It's 【1】 (danger)．” But Xiamen University is going to have a new class: Tree-climbing.

Zhu Chongshi, the president of Xiamen University, once visited Cornell University in New York, and he was surprised【2】 the course there.
