A
Getting around Venice by travelling along its waterways is a delight for all visitors. Apart from offering unforgettable views of the architecture, the city's transport options are convenient, efficient, and also relatively inexpensive.
PASSES
Instead of paying EUR 7 per ride, a better option is to purchase one of ACTV's passes, which offer unlimited travel for 1 day (EUR 20) , 2 days (EUR 30) , 3 days (EUR 40) or 1 week (EUR 60). For children and young people between the ages of 6 and 29, ACTV offers a special “Rolling Venice\-day pass (EUR 29).
BY GONDOLA
Considered by many as the most symbolic feature of Venice, today gondolas circulate most often on canals in the center of the city, carrying tourists on rides at fixed rates, which tend to be rather high. A
40-minute ride costs around EUR 100, but may be shared by as many as six passengers.
BY WATER TAXI
Getting around by water taxi in Venice is most costly, but can be a convenient option when you are in a hurry or need to carry a lot of luggage. The initial charge is EUR 15, then EUR 2 per minute. If you have more than one bag per passenger, there is a charge of EUR 3 for each additional piece.
BY RENTAL BOAT
It is possible to rent a boat to travel around Venice's canals. A boating permit is not required, but you will need to pass a basic turning and docking test before being allowed to rent a boat. Rates start at EUR 30 per hour.
Note： There are only four fueling stations for boats in Venice. Make sure you note their locations before heading out.
1. What is said about the ACTV's pass?

On a Saturday afternoon, Tasi Lama had just finished lunch and was going to wash his hands when the ground under his feet started shaking violently. Objects began to fall down from overhead and rising above the crashes, he could hear terrified screams all around him. Several months later, the painter from Nepal's Kathmandu Valley remembers that day more vividly than his wedding day or the birth of his son.
It was on April 25, 2015 that an earthquake hit Nepal, the former Himalayan kingdom out of sight between its giant neighbors China and India, 81 years after a similar disaster. This killer quake and after-shocks that continued for more than a month afterward killed over 8,000 people, destroyed thousands of houses, and ruined an economy already damaged by many other reasons.
B. It is very suitable for kids and the young. D. It is a certificate given to the foreign tourists.
It was also of consequence for the ancient art style Nepali painters such as Lama have been practicing for generations. “We left our homes and lived in the open fields outside the city, under tarpaulins （防水油布）for a month,\continued, though less frequently. One day, I went to my showroom to get some of the paintings out and the Earth started shaking again. I dropped everything and ran out for my life. ”
Dinesh Lama, a 32-year-old artist from Nepal's capital city, Kathmandu, said his Boudha Stupa Thangka Center, which functions as his showroom as well as his studio, has remained shut since the earthquake, as his artisans are too traumatized（心理受到创伤的） to take up the brush again. “We lived in temporary tents for more than a month,\he said. “When they try to sit inside the studio and paint, fear makes their hands shake. Luckily, we have got a lot of aid from China. I believe we will come back to our home soon. ”
4. What can we conclude from the second paragraph?
A. The April 25 earthquake made Nepal disappear for long. B. Nepal also suffered a serious disaster due to the 1934 quake. C. This quake caused more deaths than the one 81 years ago. D. The earthquake is the only reason for Nepal being backward. 5. What can we know according to Tasi Lama's words?
A. Many Nepali painters lost their lives in the quake. B. Only the houses built of mud and bricks broke down. C. His showroom fell into ruins after the quake. D. He had no choice but to stop working for long. 6. What made Dinesh Lama worried most?
A. That his showroom had been totally destroyed. B.That his artisans were incapable of working. C. That he couldn't sell his works as usual. D.That he would never pick up his brush to draw. 7. Which of the following is the proper title for the text?
A. Earthquake Brings Damage to Ancient Art B. Earthquake Causes Many Artists Out of Job C. China Gives a Timely Hand to Nepal
