Then it’s time to consider the following places which might not be the first ones that pop into your mind but are really attractive. ‎ Faroe Islands‎, ‎Denmark Faroe Islands‎ are considered “the paradise of birds” as there are many species of birds enjoying the nature and richness of this place. Any time from July to August will be a perfect time to visit Faroe Islands, as that is the time when temperatures are comfortable, and the sunlight last the longest. There are a lot of nice places where you can stay. They will fit your budget and style.‎ Sea Islands, America ‎ Some of the most important events and periods in American history took place in Sea Islands, South ‎Carolina. And you will be able to see the evidence of this history while relax on your vacation. Mid-March is the time when the Hilton Head Island Wine and Food Festival takes place there. At the end of May, on the 29th, the Annual Original Gullah Festival will be held. Another very interesting event, Penn Center Heritage Days happens from the 6th to 9th in November, and this is an event dedicated to celebrating the Gullah culture.‎ Haida Gwaii‎, ‎Canada ‎ The thing that attracts most travelers to Haida Gwaii is the quietness and peace that rules the place. This area is so peaceful and quiet that just writing on a piece of paper could sound a bit loud after you get used to it. This is especially pleasant as you can enjoy the sounds of water washing the sand of the beaches, birds singing, and the wind slowly moving the branches of trees.‎ Mont St.‎‎ Michel, ‎France‎ ‎ The Abbey of Mont St. Michel has been leaving visitors breathless for more than a thousand years. The weather around this magnificent monument changes very quickly, often even hourly, and the light and the sky usually look like they are playing with each other, restlessly. The best time to visit Mont St. Michel is when the tides are the highest because then you will be able to see the magnificent of rushing water.‎ ‎21. Faroe Islands would most probably attract those who love _______.‎ ‎ A. food B. history C. hunting D. birdwatching ‎ ‎22. If you want to take a very quiet holiday, you’d better tour _______. ‎ ‎ A. Faroe Islands B. Sea Islands C. Haida Gwaii D. Mont St.‎ Michel ‎ ‎23. What will you have to do if you go to visit Mont St. Michel?‎ ‎ A. Plan a big budget. B. Prepare for changeable weather. ‎ C. Go there with some friends. D. Avoid taking pictures.‎ B ‎ Young people frequently say that they want to exercise, but they just can’t find the time. The solution just might be in-office interval (间隔) training.‎ Recent studies show that very short but intense exercise rapidly builds and maintains fitness and health, even when the workout is only a few minutes long.‎ Work the stairs You can complete an excellent, effective—and very brief—workout in an office stairwell, says Martin Gibala, a professor of kinesiology at McMaster University in Canada and an expert on interval training.‎ For a study that he and his colleagues presented earlier this year, they asked 12 out-of-shape women in their 20s to warm up for two minutes by slowly walking up and down stairs in a campus office building.‎ They completed three of these abbreviated stair workouts per week for six weeks.‎ By the end, their aerobic fitness had improved substantially, the researchers reported, by about as much as if they had been running or cycling each week for hours.‎ Fidget (坐立不安) your way to fitness.‎ Parents and teachers may once have urged you to sit still, but wiggling, tapping your toes, standing briefly, and otherwise fidgeting as much as possible at your desk is in fact good for your body.‎ In one recent study, college students showed healthier blood flow in their lower legs if they fidgeted ‎ than if they did not.‎ Even better, a 2008 study found that among office workers, those who frequently fidgeted burned as many as 300 calories more each day than those who resolutely stayed still.‎ ‎24. What does the passage mainly want to tell us?‎ A. We have ways to work out within a short time B. Short exercise does no good to health C. How can we find time to exercise D. Fitness can be improved ‎ ‎25. According to the experiment, women spending two minutes working stairs for six weeks _______.‎ A. didn’t benefit from workout B. felt more unhealthy C. became fatter in figure D. benefited a lot ‎26. How many studies are shown in the passage?‎ A. One B. Two C. Three D. Four ‎27. The writer may agree ________.‎ A. sitting still during work hours B. lying as often as possible C. trying to frequently walk back and forth D. standing and working without any stop C Does Fame Drive You Crazy?‎ Although being famous might sound like a dream come true, today’s star, feeling like zoo animals, face pressures that few of us can imagine. They are at the center of much of the world’s attention. Paparazzi (狗仔队) camp outside their homes, cameras ready. Tabloids (小报) publish thrilling stories about their personal lives. Just imagine not being able to do anything without being photographed or interrupted for a signature.‎ According to psychologist Christina Villareal, celebrities (famous people) worry constantly about their public appearance. Eventually, they start to lose track of who they really are, seeing themselves the way their fans imagine them, not as the people they were before everyone knew their names. “Over time,” Villareal says, “they feel separated and alone.”‎ The phenomenon of tracking celebrities has been around for ages. In the 4th century B.C., painters followed Alexander the Great into battle, hoping to picture his victories for his admirers. When Charles Dickens visited America in the 19th century, his sold-out readings attracted thousands of fans, leading him to complain about his lack of privacy (隐私). Tabloids of the 1920s and 1930s ran articles about film-stars ‎ in much the same way that modern tabloids and websites do.‎ Being a public figure today, however, is a lot more difficult than it used to be. Superstars cannot move about without worrying about photographers with modern cameras. When they say something silly or do something ridiculous, there is always the Internet to spread the news in minutes and keep their “story” alive forever.‎ If fame is so troublesome, why aren’t all celebrities running away from it? The answer is there are still ways to deal with it. Some stars stay calm by surrounding themselves with trusted friends and family or by escaping to remote places away from big cities. They focus not on how famous they are but on what they love to do or whatever made them famous in the first place.‎ Sometimes a few celebrities can get a little justice. Still, even stars who enjoy full justice often complain about how hard their lives are. They are tired of being famous already.‎ ‎28. It can be learned from the passage that stars today _______.‎ A. are often misunderstood by the public        ‎ B. can no longer have their privacy protected C. spend too much on their public appearance  ‎ D. care little about how they have come into fame ‎29. What is the main idea of Paragraph 3?‎ A. Great heroes of the past were generally admired. ‎ B. The problem faced by celebrities has a long history.‎ C. Well-known actors are usually targets of tabloids. ‎ D. Works of popular writers often have a lot of readers.‎ ‎30. What makes it much harder to be a celebrity (famous people) today? ‎ A. Availability of modern media.          B. Improper social recognition.‎ C. Lack of favorable chances.                             D. Huge population of fans.‎ ‎31. What is the author’s attitude toward modern celebrity?‎ A. Sincere B. doubtful         C. objective  D. Sympathetic D As the ocean heats up, thanks to the effects of climate change, fish may look for cooler waters with more oxygen, according to a recent study. The amount of oxygen in the ocean is dropping as the planet ‎ warms. The metabolic (新陈代谢的) rate of fish living near the equator is also rising. That change, which increases their food and oxygen demands, will drive fish away from the equator (赤道), according to the study. ‎ The findings support an earlier study that suggested fish would move forward the poles as the temperature of tropical waters makes it impossible for them to live there. The water is simply getting too hot around the tropical coral reefs these fishlike to call home. ‎ Climate change is causing other habitat changes as well. Canadian polar bears have begun traveling north as Arctic sea ice melts. As their habitats are threatened, the polar bears have become less genetically diverse because of their increasing isolation, which increases the risk of their dying out. ‎ Grizzly bears are also heading north as higher temperatures allow them to explore more Arctic habitat. The result? The “grolar bear”, a grizzly-polar bear hybrid. Interbreeding results in cute brown-and-white cubs (幼兽), but it also threatens species that are uniquely adapted to Arctic, scientists say. ‎ Rabbits and hares are also escaping from warming environments. A study from Queens University Belfast said five species of rabbits will likely head north to Montana and North Dakota, which will likely change the plant species of those areas and attract non-native meat hunters. ‎ The changes can be disappointing. Rabbits are a main protein source for people around the world., while at-risk Atlantic cod (鳕鱼) has long been important food for American and European diets. Fishermen in developing countries near the equator, such as Malaysia, may find it harder to fish. ‎ ‎32. What does the underlined part “That change” in Paragraph refer to? ‎ ‎ A. Climate change. B. Warmer ocean waters. ‎ C. The higher metabolic rate. D. Less oxygen in the ocean.‎ ‎33. Because of climate change, Canadian polar bears _______. ‎ ‎ A. are less likely to come across each other B. are more likely to be seen by humans ‎ C. will become more genetically diverse ‎ D. have better habitats than before ‎34. What do we learn about “grolar bears”? ‎ ‎ A. They are an endangered species. ‎ B. They are not genetically diverse. ‎ ‎ C. They are non-native meat hunters. ‎ D. They are hybrid of grizzly bears and polar bears. ‎ ‎35. The examples in the last paragraph are given to show that _______.‎ ‎ A. there will be more sources for protein ‎ B. developing countries will lack rare animals ‎ C. people who rely on animals for food will suffer ‎ D. the changes can affect plant species in the world ‎ 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。‎ Are you anxious about your work transitions (转变阶段)?
