So when my brother suggested that we take a week-long vacation together somewhere, I immediately did an Internet search. It was at that time when I found Expat Explore. It
11、was a travel agency that could offer just what I wanted at an acceptable price. In fact, I was afraid that it was too good to be true! So I went back to Google to look for evaluations(评价) of Expat Explore. And I could only find positive things.My second trip with Expat Explore was my first solo trip
12、. I met several people travelling alone on my first trip and after talking with them, I decided to give it a try. When I landed in London by myself for the first time, I wondered why I had thought this was a good idea. My fears didnt go away until the next morning I met up with the tour group.I have
13、 lived my entire life in the U.S., so it is so amazing to visit a place like the Colosseum (角斗场) in Rome that was built over 1,500 years before America was discovered! Many buildings I have always considered historical in the U.S. are very modern in comparison to those in Europe. The more of the wor
14、ld I see, the more I want to discover the rest of it.There are my tips for travelling to a place that you never have been to. Youd better plan your vacation through a combination of suggestions from travel agencies and relevant information from the Internet. And there are still many things you could
15、nt expect before the trip. I still remember the day when I first visited London, I couldnt find my way to the hotel I booked before. I felt really anxious at first, but later I tried to keep calm and ask the locals how I could go to the hotel. They were friendly to give me several ways to choose. Yo

18、s the importance of translation tools. B. To teach us how to communicate with the locals.C. To warn us about the common accidents when travelling.D. To show how to plan for unexpected situations during travelling.BIf you have felt the skies above you seem increasingly empty of birds you are not alon
19、e. A 2018 study by Bird Life International showed that 40 percent of the worlds 11, 000 bird species are in decline, and one in eight bird species is threatened with global extinction. Now, some scientists are using technology to save endangered kakapo. If successful, the technique used may help sav
20、e other bird species as well.The kakapo, a kind of parrot, is unlike any other member of its species. The bird lost its ability to fly and added on weight, giving it the double honor of being the worlds only flightless parrot and its heaviest one!Once found in large numbers across New Zealand, the b
21、ird, which can weigh up to 5 kilograms, is now in danger of dying out. While cats are largely to blame, the kakapas unusual breeding habits dont help either. For starters, the parrots, which can live up to 100 years, do not start breeding until the age of five. They also only mate(交配) when the rimu
22、trees - their primary food source - bear large amounts of fruit, an event that happens every two to four years.Given the impediments to increasing the population, it is not surprising that as of 2019, only 114 adult parrots remain.To help them, the researchers tie an electronic tracker to each bird,
23、 which can pick up the information of the birds, such as where they are nesting and if they are sick. The trackers also allow researchers to control the parrots diet.Once the birds lay eggs, the eggs are taken to a special room to hatch(孵化) and the newborns except one that is given to the mother kak
24、apo will be fed by researchers until they can live by themselves.24. What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 3?A. The food of the kakapo.B. The enemy of the kakapo.C. The breeding habits of the kakapo.D. The reasons for the kakapo dying out.25. What does the underlined word “impediments”in Paragrap
25、h 4 probably mean?A. Importance. B. Possibility C. Difficulty D. Experience26. What measure is taken to save the kakapo?A. All the young birds are raised by humans.B. Each kakapo is moved to a special room.C. The kakapo is closely observed when hatching.D. Trackers are used to collect the kakapos in
26、formation.CTsunamis(海啸) are one of the most terrifying natural phenomena that the world suffers. The series of waves produced by the displacement(位移) of a large volume of water can be caused by several events, including earthquakes, underwater explosions and landslides. Once triggered (引发), a tsunam
27、i can hit the coast within minutes and its destructive power can be enormous.At present, early warning systems rely on measuring the movement of dart buoys(浮标), which record changes in the sea level, or assessing the bottom water pressure of the developing tsunami. But they require the tsunami to ph
28、ysically reach the measurement location. The buoys could be fixed in the deep ocean, but this requires an unrealistically big number of buoys. Or people can fix the buoys along the shoreline, but due to the high speed of the tsunami, this method may leave no warning time for people on the land.Inste
29、ad, there is a new system - using sound waves to predict tsunamis. Sound waves caused by an earthquake can travel much faster than the tsunami that has been triggered. Using standard underwater microphones, we can record these sound waves long before the tsunami arrives regardless of the direction i
30、n which the tsunami will travel. The sound signals come from changes in pressure, so what we actually analyze is a series of data on how the pressure is changing overtime. Though buoys also show changes in pressure, the tsunami front must actually reach the buoys to inform us that there is an increa
31、se in the water surface. By using underwater microphones,however, we only need to catch the sound signals.Though the idea of using sound waves to predict tsunamis has been put forward previously, the key to our idea is a new mathematical method that can be used to analyze these recorded sound signal
32、s in near real-time. Once this is worked out, we can not only warn people of a tsunami but also more accurately estimate its size long before it reaches the shoreline.27. From Paragraph 1, we know .A. what can trigger off tsunamisB. how to predict tsunamis effectivelyC. why tsunamis are the worst na
33、tural disasterD. how to protect the coastal areas from tsunamis28. What does the underlined word“they”in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. The dart buoys.B. The changes in the sea level.C. The changes in water pressure.D. The present early warming systems.29. What can we infer about the new warning system fro
34、m Paragraph 3?A. It has high accuracy.B. It can increase warning time.C. It can monitor changeable sea levels.D. It can adapt to various water wave conditions.30. Whats the best title for the text?A. Ways to guard against tsunamisB. Methods of analyzing sound signalsC. A new real-time tsunami warnin

We re all different and we all have different beli
36、efs and ways of doing things. Understanding this is what cultural awareness(意识) is all about. 31 we need to take a long, hard look at ourselves. What makes us the way we are? Well, theres history, tradition, education, and our parents. These are all good things. But do any of them make us better tha
37、n others? No. 32 Its easy to understand why we start off believing that our culture is better than any other. In fact, some argue that its necessary in order to survive. As children, we typically build our view of the world from our family and the place we grow up. 33 In the past, many people never
38、left the comfort of their own town or district. They could all spend their days happily believing that the life they knew was the best, that their way of doing things was the right way, and not imagining or caring what others might think. 34 We do business with people from different cultures, sellin
