Visit Nepal a land of excitement and adventure! From Everest Base Camp high in the Himalayas, to the jungles of the Royal Chitwan National Park, to the ancient city of Bhaktapur, Nepals amazing scenery and fascinating culture make it a great holiday destination. Any trip to Nepal starts in the Kathmandu valley, with a visit to the Nepali capital. The old centre of Kathmandu with its crowded old streets and beautiful architecture is very different from the expensive modern hotels, shops and restaurants on the citys outer areas. The valley is also home to two other cities. Patan is quieter and less crowded than Kathmandu, and is famous for its temples and other old buildings. However, the oldest and probably the most attractive of the three cities is Bhaktapur. Many of its beautiful temples and palaces were built in the seventeenth century, when it was the capital of Nepal. Travel eight hours by bus west of Kathmandu to reach the beautiful lakeside city of Pokhara. This is a perfect place to relax row a boat on the lake, read a novel, or just hang out in one of many great restaurants. If you are feeling more energetic, you can go for a three- or four-day journey around Mount Annapurna. Northeast of Kathmandu, near the border with China, is Mount Everest, the worlds tallest mountain. Everest Base Camp is where teams of climbers prepare to climb the mountain, and it is a popular destination for tourists. However, there have been problems with tourists leaving litter at Base Camp so remember to take your rubbish away with you! In the south of the country, near the border with India, is the Royal Chitwan National Park. Very different from the cool mountains of the Himalayas, Chitwan is a hot and sticky tropical jungle. In the past, this was where rich British and Nepalese hunters shot elephants, rhinoceros, tigers, leopards and deer, but today all these animals are protected. You can take a tour of the park, riding on the back of an elephant. 74. This passage is probably . A) an advertisementB) a newspaper articleC) a reportD) a letter75.

Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答下列问题): (12分)Super Singers Imagine yourself singing in front of an audience, performing in other countries, and having your music put on a CD! All this excitement isnt just for rock stars. Joining a childrens chorus gives kids the chance to do these exciting activities. What does it take to get into a childrens chorus? You dont need years of singing lessons. You just need to have a love for singing and be willing to learn and follow directions. It all starts at the audition(试唱). The choirmaster, or conductor, will have you sing with a group of kids. As the group sings, the conductor listens to how your voice comes together. Youll also probably be asked to sing by yourself. The conductor wants to figure out what type of voice you have. A girl with a high voice is a soprano while a girl with a low voice is an alto. A boy with a high voice is a tenor, while a boy with a low voice is a bass. When the whole chorus sings together, the different types of voices sing different notes to the same song. This is called “singing parts”. Once you pass the audition, you might be assigned to a specific group. Beginning singers are often grouped together in a “Treble Chorus”. More advanced singers might be in a “Concert Chorus”. Different choirs have different names for these groups. No matter which group youre in, youll need to go to rehearsals. Most childrens choirs rehearse once a week.93. What do you need to join a childrens chorus? _.94. What are you required to do at the audition? _.95.
