Shakespeare once wrote that all the world is a stage, but these days it's more
like a movie set. Get to know some films to find fantastic film locations(地点) you
should check out on your travels.
The Sound of Music.
Austria's hills are certainly alive with the sound of music and tourists. Mozart
may have been born in Salzburg, but The Sound of Music really put it on the map and
now about 70 percent of people visit it because of the movie. Cross Residenzplatz
Square and visit the Palace of Leopoldskron where the children in the film fell into
the lake.
Troy
Although the Palace of Troy was filmed on sets built at Shepperton Studios in
the UK, most of the 2004 movie was shot in Malta and Baja California. Mexico. Malta
with historic sites and beautiful blue waters was a good choice to replace Greece.
Troy was shot at a host of locations. including Golden Bay. Hal Far as well as Fort
Ricasoli (where the city of Troy was constructed). The Trojan horse from the film
is now lying on the waterfront in Canakkale, Turkey.
Bridget Jones's Diary
Bridget Jones is brought to life as we watch the work and romance in London. Her
special corner flat is above the Globe Tavern by Borough Market, one of the city's
oldest and biggest food markets. According to The Telegraph, it would be highly
unlikely that she could afford to buy a place like that today since it has risen in
value by more than 240 percent.
Harry Potter
J. K. Rowling started writing the Harry Potter books while she was living in
Edinburgh, Scotland, so it's no surprise that she set most of the story there. The
Hogwarts Express travels through the Scottish Highlands and along the 31 meters high
Glenfinnan Viaduct. The second highest waterfall in the UK, Steal] Falls can be seen
during Quidditch matches.
21. Which of the following films makes Salzburg famous?

Potter.

Jerome Karle and Isabella Lugoski met in their first physical chemistry class
at the University of Michigan in 1940. Jerome Karle was in his first year of doctoral
work, Isabella Lugoski was in her last year as an undergraduate(大学本科生), and they
were laboratory partners. However, they didn't get along well at first.
Isabella Lugoski looked back on the past, "I walked into the physical chemistry
laboratory and there's a young man in the desk next to mine with his equipment all
set up running his experiment. I don't think I was very polite about my question I
asked him how he got there early and had everything all set up. He didn't like that.
So we didn't talk to each other for a while."
Their relationship got going as they competed for the top grade in that course
and they started to build connection because both of them were interested in chemistry.
They married in 1942. By 1946, both of the Karles had earned doctorates in physical
chemistry, and, after a period of time at the University of Chicago working on the
Manhattan Project, moved to Washington DC to join the US Naval Research Laboratory.
Each specialized in a different aspect of X-ray crystallography(晶体学): Jerome
focused on developing equations(方程式)that could determine how atoms(原子)were
arranged inside complex molecules, while Isabella ran practical experiments to test
how well the equations worked. Working together, they created what is now called the
direct method for determining molecular structures(分子结构), which has allowed
scientists to effectively study and copy complex organic molecules to continue further
study.
Jerome Karle was awarded the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1985. Although he was
disappointed that the Nobel committee had ignored Isabella's contribution to that
work, she was unfazed. At that point, she had already won more awards and prize money
for her experimental work than he had.
24. What did Isabella Lugoski do when she first met Jerome Karle?
凡 She blamed him for his being late. B. She set up all his equipment for
him.
C. She asked him a question impolitely. D. She observed his experiment silently.
25. What made Jerome Karle and Isabella Lugoski become connected?
A. Their common interest in chemistry. B. Their wonderful marriage since 1940.
C. Their pleasant first talk in a laboratory. D. Their successful cooperation
in courses.
26. What is paragraph 4 mainly intended to show?
A. The Karles' encouraging further study. B. The Karles' good teamwork in science.
C. How the Karles worked with others. D. Why the Karles won the Nobel Prize.
27. Which of the following best explains "unfazed" underlined in the last paragraph?
A. Generous. B. Touched. C. Shocked. D. Calm.
C
If you expect to work in the future in the travel industry, you should begin
learning Chinese.
That's because Chinese people spent nearly$258 billion in total on international
travel last year. That's more than twice the combined amount spent on international
travel by people from the United States and Germany, the next two biggest-spending
nations. The Chinese are relative(相对的)newcomers when it comes to traveling beyond
their nation's borders and only a small percentage of them travel outside of China
each year. Given the size of that nation's population. even that small percentage
represents well over 100 million Chinese travelers to foreign destinations.
Yet Chinese citizens flew, on average, just 65 miles last year versus(与……相对)the
227 miles flown on average by US residents(居民), the 285 miles flown on average by
Germans, the 271 miles flown on average 场 those from the United Kingdom, and the 632
miles flown by the average Canadian last year.
China's high total spending on international travel and its low average number
of miles flown on international travel may show that while only a small percentage
of China's residents actually travel outside their homeland, those who do spend a
lot of money and don't go that far. But there are reasons for China's low average
of miles travel on international trips. A small percentage of Chinese now have enough
money to travel internationally, though the number of people who do travel outside
of China is growing fast every year. Besides, a large percentage of Chinese people
traveling abroad stay close to home.
However, as more and more Chinese gain the financial ability to travel
internationally and as Chinese become more and more interested in visiting
destinations farther and farther away from home, their spending on international
travel and the average distances flown will both rise rapidly.
28. Why does the author suggest learning Chinese for the future work in travel
industry?
A. Being good at Chinese is a must for future work.
B. Chinese is most commonly used in travel industry.
C. Travel industry requires employees to learn Chinese.
D. China is a big-spending nation in international travel
29. What can we infer from paragraph 3?
A. People from different countries have different preferred destinations.
B. China has a relatively low average number of miles flown on travel.
C. Chinese people are more willing to travel abroad compared with Canadians.
D. People going on a journey around the world hate taking international planes.
30. What are many Chinese people who travel abroad likely to do?
A. Try to save their money. B. Improve their ability to travel.
C Choose to stay close to home. D. Travel in America and Germany.
31. What does the last paragraph say about the future of Chinese people's traveling
abroad?
A. It's bright. B. It's confusing. C. It's hopeless. D. It's unclear.
D
Looking for a fun Earth Day activity? You may want to try plogging, or picking
up litter while jogging. Strange as it may sound, the new "sport" is becoming popular
with runners worldwide, many of whom are posting photos of themselves and friends
holding bags of trash on social media.
Plogging is the idea of Erik Alstrom. In 2016, after moving to Stockholm in
northern Sweden, Alstrom showed concern over the amount of trash on the road during
his daily bike ride to work. Thus, he began plogging during his daily runs.
Other joggers soon joined Alstrom, and the activity became so popular that
official "plogging" events started all across Sweden. As plogging became popular on
social media, the new "sport" began to spread beyond Sweden, first to other European
countries and then worldwide.
The official online "Plogga" group now includes members from over 40 countries,
all the way from United States cities like Ohio to Thailand and Ecuador. Many school
running clubs are also getting in on the action to encourage people, staging
competitions that reward the runners with the heaviest trash bags.
As it turns out, plogging is not only good for the environment but also a healthy
way to exercise. According to Swedish fitness app Lifesun, an average person burns
about 288 calories while plogging for half an hour. This is about 50 calories more
than he/she would burn when just jogging. Additionally, the constant squatting(蹲)to
pick up litter increases the plogger's flexibility, while lugging(费力地拖)around
the increasingly heavy garbage bags helps strengthen his/her arm muscles.
On this Earth Day, be sure to put on your running shoes, carry a trash bag or
two, and go plogging. Or better still, start a plogging team at school, or around
your neighborhood, and make every day Earth Day!
32. Why did Erik Alstrom decide to pick up litter while running?
A. He wanted to clear out a path to ride his bike.
B. He was concerned about the trash on the road.
C He was fond of exercising on his way to work.
D. He dreamed to become popular across Sweden.
33. How do school running clubs support the new "sport"?
A. They post photos of official events online.
B. They explain what plogging means on stage.
C They compete with one another for members.
D. They hold competitions to attract people to plog.
34. Why is Swedish fitness app Lifesun mentioned in paragraph 5?
A. To show that plogging is of benefit to health.
B. To say that plogging is environment-friendly.
C. To offer the approaches to exercising properly.
D. To tell joggers to carry heavy bags to work out.
35. What is the best title for the text?
A. Plogging: A Strange but New "Sport" for Runners
B. What We Should Do to Reduce the Amount of Litter
C. Running Is Really Helpful to Environmental Protection
D. Plogging: A Fun Activity for Earth Day and Every Day

A question commonly asked during a job interview is "What are your goals for the
future?" This question is a good way for employers to determine if your career(事
业)goals are a good fit for the company. 36 So you should be careful to answer
the question. Here are some tips for you.
Avoid discussing salary. Don't focus on goals related to earnings, raises or
bonuses. You should focus on the work you hope to achieve, rather than the money you
want to make. 37 However, you should never volunteer your target salary unasked.
38 Even though this question is about you, you should convey that you won't
abandon the employer anytime soon. Talk about how you'll add value to the company
through the achievement of your own goals. Also, convince the interviewer that working
at this company will help you achieve your goals for a win-win situation.
Explain the action you'll take. 39 You should also explain the steps you will
take to achieve them. For example, if you want to take on a management role, describe
the steps you will take to become a manager.
Take time to practice. Practice answering questions about your career goals out
loud, so you can be more comfortable during your interview. 40
Bear these tips in mind when answering the question during your job interview.
Hopefully, you will get the job you want.
A. Focus on the employer.
B. It's fine to provide a salary range if asked.
C. Talk about what you have achieved in the past years.
D. Listing goals is not going to make for a strong answer.
E. The interviewer is interested in your specific goals instead of general ones.
F. Besides, it helps hiring managers make sure that you actually have some goals.
G. You can also review various job interview questions and answers to get fully
prepared.

Food waste is one of the greatest 61 (challenge) of our time, and fruit and
vegetables are 62 (especial) problematic, as about 52% of them go bad before
reaching consumers. But one Malaysian company has come up 63 a simple solution(解
决方案)to this problem-a tiny sticker that keeps fruit from going bad for up to
weeks.
You've probably seen stickers on fruit before, but not like the ones 64
(create)by the Malaysian company. Those common stickers are used only to provide
consumers with information about the growers and how the fruit was grown, but Stixfresh
has 65 completely different purpose. It 66 (contain) something special and
all-natural that slows down the ripening(成熟)process, keeping the fruit fresh and
juicy for much 67 (long).
Stixfresh founder Zhafri Zainudin says that he thought of the idea for the stickers
after visiting a friend 68 ran a fruit store. The man was worried about losing
money every day because of bad fruit, but he knew that there was no way to stop nature
from taking 69 (it) course. The Malaysian businessman worked with many
universities 70 (develop) and test his sticker.
At first, Stixfresh stickers were only used to lengthen the shelf-life of mangoes,
but the company later worked on other fruit, like dragon fruit, star fruit, apples
and pears.
