Cheap Travel
You can pay a fortune to travel around the world. Or you can pay nothing at all. Here are some
places you'll never regret visiting. They won’t cost you a dime.
The British Museum, London(U. K.)
You need to come here to see the Egyptian mummies, the ancient Greek marbles and so many
other treasures. It's open every day, and unlike most other attractions in England that cost an arm and
a leg, it's completely free.
National Mall, Washington D. C. (U.S.A.)
You can walk a pathway from the Lincoln Memorial to the severe Vietnam Veterans Memorial
and to the Washington Monument with other sights in between. Do you know you can go up in the
elevator to the top of the Washington Monument? Tickets are free, but pay a small fee to reserve
them in advance to avoid being disappointed.
Notre-Dame Cathedral, Paris(France)
This great treasure of the world simply can't be missed. The great stained-glass rose window
alone is worth the visit. The Sunday Mass with the Gregorian chant was like stepping back in time.
Admission is free every day, but you're welcome to leave a donation. There are also free tours a few
times each week. You’ll pay extra for tours of the bell tower or the crypt.
[ Tips:] The Notre-Dame Cathedral was greatly damaged by a massive fire in April 2019. Please
visit notredamedeparis. fr/en/ for more information regarding future visits to the cathedral.
National Museum of Ireland, Dublin and Mayo(Ireland)
Want to see bog bodies, gold ornaments, Viking artifacts and learn about rural Irish life? All
four branches of this museum are free to visit, including museums devoted to archaeology, natural
history, decorative arts and history and country life. The museum of country life in Turlough Park,
Mayo, is devoted to Irish rural traditions, while the natural history museum is especially famous for
its collection of insects.
21. Which place do you need to pay for an appointment?

C. Vietnam Veterans Memorial. D. The top of the Washington Monument.
22. What are tourists required to do when visiting the bell tower or the crypt of Notre-Dame
Cathedral?

Could your wristwatch save your life? That's the interesting question thrown up by the new
Apple Watch, which has a good reputation for the advanced health-tracking features it introduces
shortly after it went on sale.
The first Apple Watch was released in 2015, at the height of the fitness-tracker craze, when
every second person you met seemed to have a Fitbit on their wrist. Apple decided to make a device
that was more than a step counter and smaller screen to read iPhone text messages and emails, so it
built an optical heart-rate sensor into the watch.
That allowed the wearer to keep an eye on their pulse, an important measure of your heart's
ability to pump blood. Now, five versions of the watch later, the Apple Watch Series 4 takes
heart-health monitoring to a new level.
A new feature available straight away, and aimed at the elderly，is fall detection, which uses the
watch’s accelerometer and gyroscope(回转仪) to detect if you are falling. That triggers(触发) an
SOS alert to pop up on the watch face, giving the wearer the option to call 911 for help. If the watch
gets no response from you，it will make the call on your behalf and alert emergency contacts in your
iPhone, which needs to be in range of the watch for the feature to work.
The Apple Watch also does the things you’d expect, such as playing music, showing your
calendar appointments, displaying social-media notifications from your paired iPhone and giving
you access to a wide range of apps. It has a GPS chip for accurate mapping.
It's an impressive tool for on-the-go productivity, health and fitness tracking. But it is expensive
and only pairs with an Apple's iPhone. Users of earlier models will notice big improvements.
However, potential buyers may want to wait until the new heart-health features prove themselves
before taking the risk of buying one.
24. Why does the new Apple Watch win praise after entering the market?
A. It can receive emails. B. It can track the wearer's health.
C. It can show calendar appointments. D. It can read iPhone text messages.
25. What does the underlined word “That” in paragraph 3 refer to?
A. A small screen. B. A step counter.
C. The optical heart-rate sensor. D. The Fitbit on the wearer's wrist.
26. What will the new Apple Watch do first if it detects its aged wearer has fallen?
A. Ring like an alarm clock. B. Call the wearer directly.
C. Show an emergency call on screen. D. Alert emergency contacts in the phone.
27. What can be inferred about the Apple Watch from the last paragraph?
A. It has risks. B. It needs to be improved.
C. It is inaccessible. D. It is applied to all mobile phones.
C
The time it takes for an ecosystem to recover from a drought determines the drought's severity. In
the past, the total area of land affected by drought increased, and longer recovery time became more
common, according to new research by a group of scientists.
Scientists predict that droughts will occur more frequently and their severity will increase in the
future, so understanding how ecosystems return to normal again is important to preparing for the future.
However, the factors that influence drought recovery have been largely unknown until now.
"Research conducted before has usually focused on the amount of rain and other precipitation（降
水）that ends the lack of water that causes a drought, but assessments of drought recovery need to
account for the restoration of normal plant function,"explained Michalak, a scientist of the group.
The group used measures of photosynthetic（光合作用的）activity to assess drought recovery.
Measuring how long it took for plant productivity to return to normal gave the researchers a better
understanding of the lasting time of a drought's effects.
"If another drought arrives before plants have recovered from the last one, the ecosystem can reach
a ‘tipping point’ where the plants' ability to function normally is permanently affected," another
scientist Fang said.
The conditions most strongly contributing to drought recovery time were precipitation and
temperature, they found. Unsurprisingly, better conditions shortened the recovery time. Temperature
extremes, both hot and cold, lengthened it.
Recovery takes the longest in the tropics and in the far north. Other factors influencing drought
recovery include pre-drought photosynthetic activity, carbon dioxide concentrations and biodiversity.
Scientists found the influence of drought increased over the last century. Given the changes in
temperature and increases in drought frequency and severity due to climate change, their findings
suggest that recovery time will be longer in the future.
28. How serious a drought is is measured by___________.
A. how long it lasts
B. the area of land it affect
C. how much loss it results in
D. the time of an ecosystem to recover
29. Why is it important to know how to recover damaged ecosystems?
A. Droughts are likely to be more severe and frequent.
B. Ecosystems are hard to fully recover once damaged.
C. Ecosystems are bound to influence future generations.
D. Little is known about how ecosystems recover themselves.
30. What do Michalak's words in Paragraph 3 imply?
A. Former research is insufficient.
B. The lack of rain causes drought.
C. Normal plant function can't be restored.
D. Drought restoration depends on heavy rainfall.
31. Which of the following can be the best title of the text?
A. How to keep ecosystems balanced
B. Factors influencing drought recovery
C. How to deal with increasing droughts
D. Factors leading to frequent droughts
D
Fifty-five years ago, I got into my fathers lime-green 1960 Rambler American--a car to take my
driver’s exam in Lindenhurst. I crossed my fingers to pray that the start button would work. It did,
and my father and I got to the test site on time. The streets seemed quite narrow to me. Although
nervous, I was determined to do my best. Parallel-parking was my flaw, and I hoped that my tires
would not hit the curb(路边线).
When I was practicing for the test, my father, far from being the best teacher, was rather
unpleased with my parallel-parking. His fearful cries could be heard along the streets of Woodward
Parkway in South Farmingdale, my hometown, or in the large empty parking lots where I first put
my foot to the gas pedal. I felt embarrassed when he said, "Step on the gas! Check your rear-view
mirror! Step on the brake!" I was convinced that no one could do all those things at the same time. I
had seen the driver’s education films showing bodies were cut off in accidents and came away fairly
frighteningly.
During my test, I drove cautiously, probably a little too slow, without the benefit of power
steering or electronic helpmates. I kept my hands at 10 and 2 on the steering wheel( 方 向 盘 ),
checked my mirrors, stopped at stop signs and signaled for turns. I was satisfied with my
performance up to that point, but then it was time to parallel-park.
Fortunately, the parking area had no curb, just something like a mound of dirt at the edge. I
pulled up next to a car, checked my rear-view mirror and began to back inward. Somehow, I nailed it
on my first try, lining up right behind the car in front of me. Minutes later, the tester announced I had
passed. I knew that my life had changed. I had earned freedom of movement and felt a sense of
maturity.
32. Which can best replace the underlined word “flaw” in paragraph 1?
A. Favourite B. Habit C. Advantage D. Weakness
33. What can be learned from paragraph 2?
A. A terrible accident happened during the practice.
B. A quarrel between the author and his father broke out.
C. The author was doubtful about his father's direction.
D. The author was touched by his father's consideration.
34. Where did the author park his car during his test at last?
A. Behind a car in line B. On a mound of dirt
C. Over a curb. D. In the street of Woodward Parkway.
35. What is the author’s purpose of writing the text?
A. To show off his achievement with good luck.
B. To share his experience of taking his driving test.
C. To thank his beloved father for his help.
D. To accept the constant changes in his life.

For many people, the college admissions process can seem mysterious. But what college
admissions officials want is not a secret. 36 Students can use the big data when seeking
admission to colleges where they will be strong candidates. This increases their chances for
admission.
The SAT, once called the Scholastic Aptitude Test, is widely used for college admissions in the
United States. 37 At Stanford, 94 percent of incoming students had grade point averages
above 3.75，4.0 is considered perfect but higher grade point averages are possible. In addition, 95
percent of the new arrivals were in the top 10 percent of their high school class. However, having
fine grades and test results does not promise admission to a top college. Stanford accepts just five
percent of people who apply. But knowing about the students who were accepted can help applicants.
38
Information about how a school examines applicants can be found in the data set’s
"admissions factors". 39 Many schools, for example, think the difficulty of an applicant's high
school classes and their grade point average are “very important”.
40 Colleges care about the percentage of applicants who accept an offer of admission.
Some schools want to see true evidence of interest from applicants. This includes their visits to the
school and answering emails from the admissions office.
A. The information is available to everyone.
B. It is important to have a college education.
C. "Level of applicants’ interest" is another issue.
D. Schools present what they want in the form of big data online.
E. It measures the math, reading and writing levels of high school students.
F. They can stop thinking about unlikely choices and focus on possible schools.
G. They show how each school rates everything from class rank to after-school activities.

E-cigarettes look high-tech, so it’s easy to believe that they’re a safe alternative to smoking.
Unfortunately, they’re not. E-cigarettes are just another way of putting nicotine--- 61 (high)
addictive drug ---into your body.
E-cigarettes are battery-powered smoking devices often 62 (design )to look and feel like
regular cigarettes. They don’ t fill the lungs 63 smoke, but that doesn’t make them a healthy
alternative to regular cigarettes. When you use 64 e-cigarette, you’re still putting nicotine
which 65 (absorb )through your lungs into your system. In addition to being an addictive drug,
nicotine was once even used to kill bugs.
Nicotine affects your brain, nervous system and heart. It raises blood pressure and heart rate.The
more nicotine people absorb, the more their blood pressure and heart rate go up. This can cause a(n)
66 (normal) heart rate. In rare cases, nicotine can cause heart 67 (fail) and death. E-cigarettes
have been marketed to 68 (smoke)as a way to help people quit, but there’s no evidence 69
they actually help people stop smoking. Instead, they’ve been found to be a health risk for people
who use them. Because nicotine is addictive, the best way to avoid the trouble of trying to quit
smoking or stop using e-cigarettes is never 70 ( start).

In order to promote the traditional Chinese culture, the First Community Culture Festival
was held in our community during the Spring Festival of the year 2021 ， which aimed at
providing a platform where residents could have a chance to show their talents and works.
There were a variety of activities during the festival, including the competition of
paper-cutting and the chess match, both of which residents took an active part in. Besides, an
exhibition of the photography and calligraphy works from some residents attracted people of
all ages.With the enthusiastic participation and support of the residents，the activity turned out
a great success.
I was astonished at the residents’ creativity and teamwork spirits. As an amateur reporter ,
I do hope more similar activities, which provide the residents in every community with chances
to get involved and enrich their life, will be reported.
