You should see the photo. I’m sitting in red dirt, wearing an ugly purple T-shirt. My face is pink and my hair is wet with sweat. Flies buzz around my head. I’m in the Outback of Australia’s Northwest Territory, on a school trip with 20 parents and 20 kids.

It was an odd choice for a holiday. I like sitting by the pool with a cola, not flies and frogs. I like being alone and quiet, not a busload of kids. I like freshly washed sheets, not dirty-looking blankets.

But here’s the thing about that photo: I am smiling!

The trip sounded good when I signed up. Guides would take us into the heart of the place, and I would see

a new part of Australia, learn about local culture and bond with my youngest daughter. I would also bond with

40 strangers. I just hoped there would be good coffee.

In Darwin, we were herded onto a bus. It quickly became tiresome. The kids were loud and I hate making small talk. But later, when I looked out at the vast, empty land, I was surprised at and moved by its beauty. Our guide told us about the land and his culture. I felt far from home.

At a national park, we enjoyed a natural swimming hole. Kids and parents had a great time.

Then we got to the outback. The cabin I shared with my daughter was a brick cell, full of geckos (壁虎) and crickets (蟋蟀), but too dark to see them.

It didn’t matter. The next nine days were packed: waterfalls, lakes, community visits and a trip around Katharine Gorge. We even saw giant crocodiles and baby wallabies.

On our last night, a water pipe broke. We awoke to a mess. Usually, I would have complained and asked for a refund, but it just seemed normal to be dirty.

Indeed, it was impossible to stay clean. We were hiking in red dirt, with temperatures of 35 degrees. Still, I felt a kind of energy I hadn’t experienced in years.

Yes, the coffee was bad, but I was too focused on keeping crickets off my face.

I love that photo of me in the dirt. I look messy, but also happy. Sometimes, it’s another way of traveling. There is beautiful scenery, there is dirt. There was always someone to talk to, someone to laugh with.

24. What were the author’s previous trips like, according to the article?

A. Cheap.

B. Adventurous.

C. Peaceful and comfortable.

D. Packed with outdoor activities.

25. What do we know about the author’s trip with her daughter?

A. Their journey was relaxing without too much sightseeing.

B. Their living conditions were fairly poor during the trip.

C. The scenery on the trip disappointed them.

D. The parents seemed to enjoy themselves more than the children.

26. How did the author feel during the later part of the trip?

A. Impatient.

B. Positive.

C. Disappointed.

D. Exhausted.

27. What is the author’s main purpose in writing this article?

A. To warn readers to choose their trips wisely.

B. To share the benefits of traveling with children.

C. To tell about her latest trip and explain what she learned from it.

D. To show the advantages of going to different places.

C

The annual Canadian commercial seal hunt is the world's largest hunt of marine mammals. A few weeks old, the seal cubs are prized primarily for their skins and also for the omega-3-rich oil used in food supplements--products that are shipped around the world.

This month, the World Trade Organization (WTO) in Geneva, Switzerland, is expected to announce whether products from commercial seal hunting can be marketed in Europe. At present, they cannot. Such products have been banned by the European Union (EU) since 2009 to protect ‘public mor a ls’. Canada and Norway have asked the WTO to overturn the ban — the first of its kind -- and the trade body will soon deliver its final decision.

As an official observer, I have seen the hunt from the ice and from helicopters. The details are grisly. That is why the WTO originally agreed that the EU could act to limit trade on the grounds of public morals — the first time that such a restriction had been put in place.

When they are born, seal cubs have white fur. They are abandoned by their mothers at about 12 days of age. Stranded on the unstable ice, they remain alone and unfed for up to six weeks, and during this time their fur changes from white to grey --and the hunters arrive.

The cubs are either shot from boats, or clubbed with a wooden bat or an iron-tipped pole called a hakapik. Some shot and injured seals slide into the water and are lost. Many shot and injured animals could potentially suffer for several minutes while the hunters drive their boats close enough to club them unconscious. If the ice is too unstable for the hunters to cross, shot and injured but conscious and reactive seals can be dragged into the boats with long hooked gaffs (鱼叉) before being clubbed.

As a human and as a scientist I consider the hunt to present real and significant welfare

concerns. The available scientific evidence supports that opinion. But science, of course, is only one of the factors at play. Perhaps the final word should go to a statement attributed to Mahatma Gandhi: “The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are trea ted.”

28. Why is WTO’s ban introduced in the passage “the first of its kind”?

A. It is the first to take little notice of the economic results.

B. It is the first to take moral standards into account.

C. It is the first to have been overturned in history.

D. It is the first to put animals’ welfare in place.

29. The underlined word “gri sly” most probably means .

A. accurate

B. unpleasant

C. vague

D. available

30. The writer describes the process of seal hunting in detail in paragraph 5 in order to .

A. prove it requires much experience

B. introduce what tools are needed

C. show readers how violent it is

D. stress how helpless seals are

31. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?

A. WTO is going to lift the ban on seal hunting

B. Canada decreases its commercial seal hunting

C. The moral problem with commercial seal hunting

D. How animals are treated vary from country to country

D

While many of us may have been away somewhere nice last summer, few would say that we’ve “summere d.”“Summe r” is clearly a noun, more precisely, a verbed noun.

Way back in our childhood, we all learned the difference between a noun and a verb. With such a tidy definition, it was easy to spot the difference. Not so in adulthood, where we are expected to “foot” bills, “c hair” committees, and “dialogue” with political opponents. Chances are you didn’t feel uncomfortable about the sight of those verbed nouns.

“The verbing of nouns is as old as the English language,” says Patricia O’Conn er, a former editor at The New York Times Book Review. Experts estimate that 20 percent of all English verbs were originally nouns. And the phenomenon seems to be snowballing. Since 1900, about 40 percent of all new verbs have come from nouns.

Even though conversion (转化) is quite universal, plenty of grammarians object to the practice. William Strunk Jr. and E.B.White, in The Elements of Style — the Bible for the use of American English — have this to say: “Many nouns lately have been pressed into service as verbs. Not all are bad, but all are suspec t.”The Chicago Manual of Style takes a similar standpoint, advising writers to use verbs with great care.

“Sometimes people object to a new verb because they resist what is unfamiliar to them,” says O’Conner. That’s why we’re comfortable “hosting”a party, but we might feel upset by the thought of “medali ng”in sports. So are there any rules for verbing? Benjamin Dreyer, copy chief at Random House, doesn’t offer a rule, but suggests that people think twice about “verbify ing” a noun if it’s easily replaceable by an already existing popular verb. Make sure it’s descriptive but not silly-sounding, he says.

In the end, however, style is subjective. Easy conversion of nouns to verbs has been part of English grammar for centuries; it is one of the processes that make English “English.” Not every coinage (新创的词语) passes into general use, but as for trying to end verbing altogether, forget it.

32. What can we learn about the verbing of nouns?

A. It hasn’t recently been opposed by many grammarians.

B. It is more commonly accepted by children than adults.

C. It hasn’t been a rare phenomenon in the past century.

D. It is easily replaced by existing verbs in practice.

33. What is most leading expe rts’ attitude towards the practice of the verbing of nouns?

A. Cautious.

B. Satisfied.

C. Disappointed.

D. Unconcerned.

34.What does the author think of ending the verbing of nouns?

A. Predictable.

B. Practicable.

C. Approaching.

D. Impossible.

35. What is the best title for the text?

A. Are 40 Percent of all new verbs from nouns?

B. Are Summering and Medaling Annoying?

C. Are You Comfortable about a New Verb?

D. Are There Any Rules for Verbing?

How is this virus transmitted?

This is an outbreak of disease that started in Wuhan, one of the central Chinese cities. It’s caused by a

novel coronavirus that means it’s brand-new. 36

What are the sym ptom s?

The virus is from a family called the coronaviruses. The symptoms of this illness are pretty mundane (平凡的) on the face of it: it’s a dry cough fever and then breathing problems. 37 . However, as for the more severe cases, people have gone on to develop viral pneumonia, and all the deaths have been among those people.

38

This brand-new coronavirus came from animals, and it’s believed that the source was actually a seafood market in Wuhan, which also sells wild animals. So far all the cases have come out of Wuhan. But some people haven’t picked it up there.

Should I be panicking about this ou tb r e ak?

As we can see, older people are ending up in hospital with the virus. The y’re usually over 40, and the very youngest person diagnosed is about 13 or 14 years old. So it doesn’t appear to be affecting small children.

39 . Basically, their immune systems are not very strong, and they’re going to find it very hard to fight off

a virus.

It’s necessary for ordinary people to wear masks and doctors should wear protective clothing.

How is thi s vi r u s tr an s m itt e d?

We’ve only just discovered that the new coronavirus is actually transmitted from one person to another.

It was hoped at first actually that it just came from animals as all coronaviruses do. 40 .So we’ve got people to people transmission, because the market has been closed for sometime, and there are cases in people who’ve never been near it.

A. It seems quite mild in lots of people.

B. Where have cases been confirmed so far?

C. It is so new that actually it doesn’t have a name yet.

D. People diagnosed with viral pneumonia will die.

E. It is a brand-new virus so we don’t know how it’s going to behave.

F. Those confirmed cases who have died tend to have heart disease or cancer already.

G. Now it looks as though it is actually passed from one human being to another, however.

For a long time bats 61 (be) one of the most feared creatures in the animal kingdom. Many pop culture associations with them are 62 (relate) to vampire. Though these associations are complete

misunderstandings, bats do have a dark side as a 63 (danger) disease vector (传播媒介). So there is good reason to be exceptionally cautious if you come into contact with bats. However, the fact is 64 bats play

a significant role in keeping a balanced ecosystem.

Many organic farmers have learned about the benefits of 65 (have) bats nearby to help manage the amount of pests that show up without pesticides. One brown bat — about 66 size of a human thumb —can consume about 600 mosquitoes and other unwanted insects within an hour. They make for a fantastic, almost essential 67 (add) to pest management on any farm.

Even large government organizations have realized the economic benefits of bats. The United States Geological Survey estimates that bat contributions 68 pest management save the country at 69 (little) 3.7 billion dollars per year. Without them, we would likely experience a dramatic drop in food

production, which would eventually make 70 (it) way into our weekly grocery bills.
