You might like to try one of these four experiences.‎ Crocodile watching Do you fancy getting up close to some of the most terrifying animals on earth? Crocosaurus Cove, in Darwin (Australia) has the “Cage of Death". It's an enclosure that is lowered into a pool. This gives you a 360 degree view of a crocodile as its being fed. The cable broke once and the cage sank to the bottom, but they've fixed it since then.‎ Edgewalk How about walking along the edge of a building several hundred meters up in the air? If that sounds like fun, head off to the CN Tower in Toronto (Ontario, Canada). Built in 1976, the tower is 553.33 meters tall. ‎ The Edge Walk consists of a 20-30 minute stroll along a 1.5 meter wide platform that runs around the towers restaurant roof. During the walk, you're encouraged to lean forwards as you ‎ look over Toronto’s skyline（轮廓线）.‎ Plastic ball rolling Do you fancy rolling down a hill in a plastic ball? Plastic ball rolling is popular all over the world, but the place to give it a go is in Rotorua (New Zealand). Brother David and Andrew Akers came up with the idea in 1994. A typical orb (球) is about 3 meters in diameter, with an inner orb size of about 2 meters. There’s no brake or steering mechanism, but the inner layer of the plastic ball helps absorb the shock.‎ Volcano bungee jumping If you're looking for the adventure of a lifetime, how about going bungee jumping off a helicopter into the crater of a live volcano? As part of the jumping, a helicopter ride takes you to the Villarican volcano. One of the most active in Chile. Once you're at the drop zone, you leap off the helicopter and fall into the volcano. Finally you enjoy the ride back to the airport flying at 130kph.‎ Attracted by the above? If so, please contact us. Only half price from March 22nd to April 25th. For more information, please click here.‎ ‎21. According to the passage, there was an accident once when people_______.‎ A. Jumped into the Villarrica volcano.‎ B.

Over the next hour, Mrs. Benson and the coach watched as Jenny out-ran many of the more experienced players.‎ ‎“I knew then that soccer would be Jenny's sport.”Mrs. Benson recalls. And she was right.‎ It may have helped that Jenny had spent much of her time trying to keep up with her three brothers. "I wanted to be just like them.” Jenny says, "My family has inspired me for my entire life.”‎ Jenny has retired from the United States women's national soccer team. She started out on her professional career in the Philadelphia Charge, a team in the Women's United Soccer Association (WUSA). Later on, she joined FC Energy Voronezh, and then New Jersey Wildcats.‎ When the WUSA was being formed, league officials watched many college soccer games, looking for players good enough to join the league. They were very interested in Jenny, who played for the University of Nebraska.‎ ‎“Throughout that college season, I knew I was being watched.”Jenny says, "I knew I couldn't be perfect, so I just tried to be very consistent and have fun.”‎ As a professional, Jenny relied on her focused but fun-loving attitude. “ In a game，I try never to put too much pressure on myself. The more I concentrate on having fun, the better I play. "She says, “I have good and bad days, just like everyone else, but I know the sun will always come up after a bad day. So all I have to do is to adjust myself, either to the change of my inner feelings or to the change of circumstances. That helps me get through anything.”‎ ‎24. What can we learn from Jenny’s first soccer practice?‎ A. She was not sure how to play soccer.‎ B. She was gifted in playing soccer.‎ C. She was instructed by the soccer coach.‎ D. She was more experienced than other players.‎ ‎25. Which professional team did she first play for?‎ A. New Jersey Wildcats.‎ B. FC Energy Voronezh.‎ C. The University of Nebraska.‎ D. The Philadelphia Charge.‎ ‎26. Which of the following can best describe Jenny?‎ A. Talented but impatient.‎ B. Confident and considerate.‎ C. Concentrated and adaptable.‎ D. Absorbed but self-centered.‎ ‎27. What does the passage mainly talk about?‎ A. How Jenny developed her soccer career.‎ B. Why Jenny retired from the national team.‎ C. How Jenny’s brothers influenced her career.‎ D. What made Jenny a good soccer player.‎ C Crossing your legs is an extremely common habit; most people don’t even notice that they're doing it when they sit down. While you may find comfortable to sit with one knee crossed over the other, it might be causing health problems that you are not aware of.‎ A study published in Blood Pressure Monitoring stated that sitting with your legs crossed can increase your blood pressure. The reason for this is that the blood in your legs has to work against gravity to be pumped back to your heart and that crossing one leg over the other increases resistance, making it even harder for the blood to circulate. This causes your body to increase your blood pressure to push the blood back to the heart. You won't feel any immediate effects, but repeated, drawn-out increases in blood pressure can cause long-term health issues. So, planning to sit for a long period of time? Don’t keep your legs crossed.‎ Crossing your legs at the knee can also cause pressure on the major nerve in your leg that passes just below your knee and along the outside of your leg, explains Richard Graves, a medical expert. This pressure can cause numbness and temporary paralysis（麻痹）of some of the muscles in your foot and leg, preventing you from being able to raise your ankle--what we know as that "pins and needles" sensation. While the feeling of discomfort may only last a minute or two, repeatedly crossing your legs until they feel numb can cause permanent nerve damage.‎ So next time you sit down, try to get yourself in the habit of sitting with both of your feet on the floor. Not only will it help your posture and stability, but it will also save your health in the long run.‎ ‎28. What can we learn about crossing one's legs?‎ A. It is a very bad social habit.‎ B. It is usually practiced deliberately.‎ C. It can do harm to people's health.‎ D. It can make others feel uncomfortable.‎ ‎29. According to the study, sitting with your legs crossed can ______.‎ A. Affect your blood pressure.‎ B. Resist gravity effectively.‎ C. Lead to heart attacks easily.‎ D. Improve the function of legs.‎ ‎30. In the third paragraph "pins and needles” probably means ______.‎ A. Slight sharp pains.‎ B. Being a little nervous.‎ C. Serious muscle injuries.‎ D. Being highly flexible.‎ ‎31. What is the main purpose of the text?‎ A. To compare common habits.‎ B. To give readers some advice.‎ C. To evaluate effects of an experiment.‎ D. To introduce research methods.‎ ‎ D For all the technological wonders of modern medicine health care—with its fax machines and clipboards(写字板)--is out of date. This outdated era is slowly drawing to a close as the industry catches up with the artificial- intelligence (AI) revolution.‎ Eric Topol, an expert in heart disease and enthusiast for digital medicine, thinks AI will be particularly useful for such tasks as examining images, observing heart traces for abnormalities or turning doctors’ words into patient records. It will be able to use masses of data to work out the ‎ best treatments, and improve workflows in hospitals. In short, Al is set to save time, lives and money.‎ The fear some people have is that Al will be used to deepen the assembly-line culture of modern medicine. If it gives a “gift of time” to doctors, they argue that this bonus should be used to extend consultations, rather than simply speeding through them more efficiently.‎ That is a fine idea, but as health swallows an ever-bigger share of national wealth, greater efficiency is exactly what is needed, at least so far as governments and insurers are concerned. Otherwise, rich societies may fail to cope with the needs of ageing and growing populations. An extra five minutes spent chatting with a patient is costly as well as valuable. The Al revolution will also enable managerial accountants to adjust and evaluate every aspect of treatment. The autonomy of the doctor will surely be weakened, especially, perhaps, in public-health systems which are duty-bound to cut unnecessary costs.‎ The Hippocratic Oath(誓言) holds that there is an art to medicine as well as a science and that “warmth, sympathy and understanding may outweigh the surgeon’s knife or the chemist’s drug”. There’s lots of sense in it: the patients of sympathetic physicians have been shown to recover better. Yet as the supply of human carers fails to satisfy the demand for health care, the future may involve consultations on smartphones and measurements monitored by chatbots. The considerately warmed stethoscope(听诊器)，placed gently on a patient’s back, may become a relic of the past.‎ ‎32. What’s Dr Topol’s attitude toward Al’s coming into medicine? A. Concerned. B. Doubtful. C. Optimistic. D. Cautious.‎ ‎33. What does the author of the text attach more importance to? A. Medical costs. B. National wealth. C. Longer consultation.  D. Greater efficiency.‎ ‎34. Why is the Hippocratic Oath mentioned? A. To prove the bright future of AI. B. To show the advantage of a human doctor. C. To explain medical equipment is more important. D. To argue a human doctor performs as well as a robot.‎ ‎35. What may be the best title for the text? ‎ ‎ A. Health care and AI. B. AI and its applications. C. Doctors and Patients. D. Dr Topol and digital medicine.‎ 第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）‎ Whether you're a child, teenager, young adult or are middle-aged, respect for your parents is an important value. Your parents are the people who raised you, devoting time, energy and money to your development. 36 No matter your age, there are 4 ways to show respect.‎ l Respect their belongings One important way to show respect is to show regard for the things important to your parents. For younger children, this may mean not touching jewelry or other valuable things. For grown children, respect may mean returning a borrowed tool in good condition and on time.

Make plans to take them to lunch or dinner or bake a cake or cookies. Most parents don't expect expensive gifts, but a handmade gift is always appreciated. A phone call from a grown child who lives too far for a visit is a welcome sign of respect.‎ l Be kind Kind words and affection are simple ways to show respect. Tell your parents you love them. Listen and allow your parents to speak without interruption. Show a sincere interest in what your parents have to say. Be patient with your parents and don't rush them. Never talk back or be rude or disrespectful. Acknowledge your parents' achievements. 40 ‎ A. Be a good listener.‎ B. Celebrate with them.‎ C. Lateness indicates a lack of respect.‎ D.
