If so, you're in my shoes. The following places are where I desire to visit very much and most probably your best choices. Milford Sound It’s one of New Zealand’s largest fjords(峡湾) formed during the ice age. You can take a little light boat to travel down a river that flows into mini- lakes. Hiking(徒步旅行) here allows you to be surrounded by some of the most beautiful sights in the world. Tourists can feel like stepping into a hidden world. After visiting here, one will realize the great beauty of our world. The Rainbow Mountains These geographical (地理的) wonders look as if they were painted with a giant paintbrush. The bright colors stand obviously among the surrounding green plants. Wild as it is, these mountains are a part of our world in China’s Zhangye Danxia Landform Geological Park. This wild variety of color does exist in the real world. No Photoshop is necessary for the natural beauty of these mountains. Bora bora This place offers the chance to live like a native Polynesian. The clear open sky and the calm waters offer you the unique opportunity to observe how the native people lead a life nearby the sea. Many holiday centers are built here and offer different tours and experiences. The Galapagos Islands The islands consist of 13 volcanic islands and six smaller islands. Although known for Darwin’s visit, they're more attractive than you might imagine. There are 900 species of animals found on these islands. 200 of these species are specific to the Galapagos. Most - 3 - travelers come to this lovely place for the specific wildlife here. 21. What can we infer about the four places from the text? A. They all consist of both man-made sights and natural scenery. B. They all enable visitors to experience the local people’s life. C. They all became well-known after some important visits. D. They are all on the author’s list of places to travel. 22. What can visitors do in the Rainbow Mountains? A. See beautiful rainbows. B. Take photos of colorful plants. C. Appreciate geographical wonders. D. Paint pictures with giant paintbrushes. 23. Which feature of the Galapagos Islands attracts visitors most? A. Darwin's visit. B. The volcanoes. C. Various wildlife. D. Dark green plants. B I often wonder how people can get so angry, so deep in their own belief that they become deaf to anything that may differ from their beliefs. I’ve often been told that I’m too open-minded, listening to others' viewpoints so openly that they become my own. Maybe that comes from my practice of actively listening to others. It means that I do really hear them instead of responding only out of politeness. Maybe it's because I was brought up by parents who didn’t necessarily speak to me about respecting others but modeled it for me through their own actions. They treated everyone equally, from what I remember, never looking down upon others because they were different from us. As I raise my daughters, I try my best to show them love and understanding in all situations. When they misbehave, talk back, or break the rules, I'll lovingly analyze the reasons behind their behaviour. I'll be tolerant(宽容的) towards their differing opinions and become open and curious about their ideas. And I'll be mindful of how I treat and speak to others, showing equal respect to everyone. My expectation is that if I show my daughters unconditional love and acceptance, they’ll learn to show the same love to others. I hope that they will not see difference as a threat, but as a way to add richness to their very existence. It's beautiful to live in a world filled with so many differences. So, as I write this, welcoming my second daughter to my family, I'm fully aware that change begins with how I act and what decisions I make. Every generation carries its own set of problems. All we have control over is how we respond to those problems. This is what I will teach my girls: how to control their own emotional world; how to hold onto love as well as their beliefs and values; how to remember that hate and anger are never the answer and that tolerance and love will always take them further in life. 24. The author seems different from other people in terms of _______________. A. her deep understanding of belief B. her reaction to different opinions C. her negative views on social politeness D. her confusing attitude towards her parents 25. What does the author intend to do as for raising her kids? A. Encourage them to have different opinions. - 4 - B. Teach them some useful conversation skills. C. Punish them heavily for their bad behaviors. D. Set them an example of love and acceptance. 26. What do Paragraph 3 imply? A. Love me, love my dog. B. Nothing seek, nothing find. C. Don't put the cart before the horse. D. Music with different tones sounds beautiful. 27. What can be the best title for this text? A. The art of social communication B. The importance of love and tolerance C. The ways to effectively listen to others D. The positive attitude towards hate and anger C Many people draw wildlife into their backyards by putting out birdseed, small pieces of bread, and other food sources, but experts say doing so can lead to trouble. Feeding sites bring many different kinds of animals into the same small area, which can turn into a hotbed for the spread of diseases and parasites ( 寄 生 虫 ),says Jeannine Fleegle. He is a wildlife biologist for the Pennsylvania Game Commission. For example, scientists highly doubt that a deadly disease affecting deer is spread by exposure to urine (小便), saliva, and wastes. " Feed used to attract deer will draw turkeys, squirrels, and so on, directly or indirectly, " says Fleegle. " And just as feeding sites increase the risk of the outbreak and spread of diseases in deer, these sites will do the same for other species." "Feeding wildlife is generally a bad idea, no matter what the species or where you are, "says Fleegle. Wild animals are not pets. Sometimes, the animals can look every bit as cute as a family pet. But all wild animals, even the small ones, are able to cause harm. In fact, food-seeking squirrels bite more people than any other animal in Grand Canyon National Park. Nutrition is another important factor to consider when deciding whether or not to feed wildlife. Animals will often make use of a reliable or easy food source even if it isn't one that suits their nutritional needs. For example, feeding deer a lot of corn can disturb the natural balance of acid in the animals' stomachs and lead to a condition called grain overload. Feeding can also change the ways animals move throughout a landscape, affecting their living areas. More animals in one spot can also lead to more fighting and injuries. So, what about birdfeeders? Just like any other kind of food station, birdfeeders can be wrongdoers in spreading disease. However, it must be pointed out that birdfeeders can also be helpful for biodiversity (生物多样性). In a study recently published in the journal Nature Communications, it has been confirmed. 28. What's the function of the first paragraph? A. To give us some real examples. B. To introduce the topic of this text. C. To introduce the writing background. D. To give us some different viewpoints.- 5 - 29. What does Fleegle mean by his words in Paragraph 3? A. Feeding is really harmful to certain species. B. Many other animals often fight against deer for food. C. Some feeding sites are too small to hold groups of animals. D. Diseases spread easily among animals at the same feeding site. 30. What results may feeding wild animals bring about? ①It can cause harm to humans. ②It will greatly improve the biodiversity. ③It could disturb and destroy the balance of nature. ④It might make wild animals get unbalanced nutrition. ⑤It may affect the living areas of animals and cause fighting. A.①②③ B.②③④ C.①④⑤ D.②④⑤ 31. What does the last paragraph imply? A. Most studies support birdfeeders. B. Birdfeeders have both good and bad sides. C. Scientists have proved the harm of feeding birds. D. Birds have a better ability to prevent diseases than deer. D A frozen 42,000 year-old foal(小马驹) discovered in Siberian permafrost(永冻土层) had a surprise: the oldest liquid blood on record. "This is the second time that an unfrozen Ice Age animal has turned out to have liquid blood," said Semyon Grigoriev, the head of the Mammoth Museum at North-Eastern Federal University in Yakutsk. In 2018, Grigoriev and his colleagues took out liquid blood from a 32, 200-year-old mammoth(猛犸象) body. Grigoriev and his colleagues are set on cloning a mammoth and other extinct animals. And they’re already trying to clone the foal, a member of an extinct species called the Lena horse. It's a long shot, though, Grigoriev wrote in an email to Lie Science. The foal was found in the Batagaika Crater in eastern Siberia in 2018. The foal was 1 to 2 weeks old and stood 39 inches (about 99 centimeters) at the shoulder when it died, drowning in mud. Surprisingly, the foal's skin and hair were preserved down to the tiniest detail by the icy permafrost. There was even urine(小便) in the body. The liquid blood was a surprise, Grigoriev said. Typically, blood turns to powder even in well preserved dead bodies, because liquids gradually disappear over thousands of years. In the mammoth, the blood was preserved in ice inside the body. The blood may not help the researchers reach their goal of bringing back an Ice Age animal, because red blood cells don't contain DNA. For cloning, the researchers are focusing on muscle cells and internal organs(内脏). Even there, finding DNA in good enough condition for cloning is a big challenge. DNA starts to go bad soon after an animal’s death, even in excellent preservation conditions such as permafrost, Grigoriev explained. Cloning a foal with the long-frozen dead body is really a tough nut to crack. The team has been trying to take out complete cells and quality DNA from the foal for two months, without success. However, the researchers will continue to try both in Yakutsk and at the laboratory of Hwang Woo-suk, the CEO of Sooam Biotech in South - 6 - Korea, Grigoriev said. 32. What can we infer from Paragraph 2? A. Cloning a mammoth is quite impossible. B. Doing research on extinct animals is worthless. C. Unfreezing an Ice Age animal’s body is very difficult. D. Finding liquid blood in Ice Age animals’ bodies is rare. 33. What did the researchers find about the foal’s body in the permafrost? A. It had almost lost its skin. B. It was preserved in a soft state. C. It was kept in very good condition. D. It measured about two meters high. 34. What can play a key role in helping the researchers clone a foal? A. The hair of the foal. B. Urine in the body of the foal. C. Red blood cells in the liquid blood. D. Muscle cells and internal organs of the foal. 35. What does the underlined part in the last paragraph mean? A. A costly project. B. A difficult problem. C. An exciting fantasy. D. An outdated method. 第二节（共 5 小题：每小题 2 分，满分 10 分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Ross had serious health issues at birth and was said to have less than 1% possibility of living.
