However, I think we all need a break sometimes from the chaos (喧嚣) of the city - specific
10、ally, a trip to one of the UKs national parks. A total of 15 areas in the UK are protected by the government. The parks cover over 23, 00 square kilometres, so where do you begin?SnowdoniaIf youre after a challenge, head over to Snowdonia and climb the highest mountain in Wales. At 1, 085 metres hig
11、h, the views from Snowdon are spectacular. It will take you 5 - 6 hours to climb up and back down again. If a little mountain climbing isnt your scene, the mountain railway will have you there and back in half the time. Lake DistrictFor those who feel more at home on the water, the Lake District has
12、 over 15 stunning (极美的) lakes. Ullswater is particularly beautiful and the perfect place for scenic boat trips, sailing or canoeing (划独木舟) with friends. Swimming is also popular if you are able to brave the cold. Surrounding the lake are charming villages and vibrant (生机勃勃的) countryside which can be
13、 explored on horseback. White Cliffs of DoverIn the South Downs youll find one of Britains most striking views: the White Cliffs of Dover. This is the frst view of England youll see if arriving by ferry, as long as its not foggy, of course. Stretching (延伸) for miles between the blue sea and even blu
14、er skies, the pure white cliffs feature 1n many wartime songs and films. Not convinced? Fear not, London is just over an hour away by train. 21.

16、ain why national parks are popular in the UKBI was driving home the other day on a sunny afternoon. I had a smile on my face as I sang along to the songs on the radio. It was a beautiful day that I felt full of happiness. My good mood ended, however, when the radio station took a news break between
17、songs. Then suddenly I found myself listening to yet another story of a rich famous man who had broken the law. I shook my head as I came to a red traffic light. As pulled to a stop, I noticed four leather - jacketed bikers They were standing in the middle of the road with two on either side of the
18、light. They looked rough and dangerous, but as I got closer I noticed each one was holding their helmet in their hands. I rolled down my window as one approached my car. “We are the Brothers of the Wheel”, he said. “We are collecting money for a Christmas Toy Drive for needy children.” As I pulled a
19、 dollar out of my wallet I looked past his beard and tattoos (纹身) and into his eyes. They shined with a goodness and kindness that came right from his soul. I dropped the money in his helmet and waved to the other bikers as I drove off. My good mood had returned. My faith in mankind had been bolster
20、ed. And I had to remember again never to judge people by their appearance. Our society often judges books by their covers but God reads what is written in our hearts and souls. Perhaps one day we will all learn to see the world through the same eyes. Perhaps one day we will realize that looks matter
21、 little and actions matter much. 24. The writers good mood ended when _ . A. he heard news between songsB. he had to stop at a red traffic lightC. he heard a rich man broke the lawD. he saw four leather - jacketed kids in need25.

23、ng peopleB. change our attitude to societyC. judge others by their actionsD. manage to help others in needCMeeting people from another culture can be difficult. From the beginning, people may send the wrong signal. Or they may pay no attention to signals from another person who is trying to develop
24、a relationship. Different cultures emphasize (强调) the importance of relationship building to a greater or lesser degree. For example, business in some countries is not possible until there is a relationship of trust. Even with people at work, it is necessary to spend a lot of time in “small talk”, u
25、sually over a glass of tea, before they do any job. In many European countries - like the UK or France - people find it easier to build up a lasting working relationship at restaurants or cafes rather than at the office. Talk and silence may also be different in some cultures. I once made a speech i
26、n Thailand. I had expected my speech to be a success and start a lively discussion; instead there was an uncomfortable silence. The people present just stared at me and smiled. After getting to know their ways better, I realized that they thought I was talking too much. In my own culture, we express
27、 meaning mainly through words, but people there sometimes feel too many words are unnecessary. Even within Northern Europe, cultural differences can cause serious problems. Certainly; English and German cultures share similar values; however, Germans prefer to get down to business more quickly. We t
28、hink that they are rude. In fact, this is just because one culture starts discussions and makes decisions more quickly. People from different parts of the world have different values, and sometimes these values are quite against each other. However, if we can understand them better, a multicultural
29、environment will offer a wonderful chance for us to learn from each other. 28. In some countries, eating together at restaurants may make it easier for people to _ . A. develop closer relationsB. share the same cultureC. get to know each otherD. keep each other company29. The author mentions his exp

According to the text, how can people from different cultures understand each other
31、 better?A. By sharing different ways of lifeB. By accepting different habitsC. By speaking each others languagesD. By recognizing different values31. What would be the best title for the text?A. Multicultural EnvironmentB. Cross - Cultural DifferencesC. How to Understand Each OtherD. How to Build Up
32、 a RelationshipDHowever exiting space travel sounds, astronauts must still suffer with bad food. Now, food in space has to be dehydrated (使脱水) or pre - cooked and stored. This means astronauts arent really eating fresh food.New technology may change this. Scientific American reports that a specially
33、 - designed oven will be sent into space this autumn with NASAs NG -12 cargo (货物) mission. Far from the common vacuum-packed (真空包装的) meals, astronauts may get to enjoy freshly baked cookies.Why arent they baking cookies in space already?For one thing, theres the risk of a fire. Engineers also have t
34、o overcome the challenge of microgravity, which prevents heat from circling inside ovens the same way it does on Earth. Astronauts will still have to wait a while before they can have their cookies, though. After baking, the results will be sent back to Earth for safety testing. If successful, this
35、will be the first oven to bake food in space. “I believe. that will be game changing for both science and astronauts,” food technology researcher Maeena Naman Shafiee told Scientific American.One of the main driving forces behind this project has been NASAs 2018 research into the effects of “confine
36、ment (封闭) and isolation (隔离)”. Unlike on the International Space Station (ISS), astronauts traveling out of Earths orbit (轨道) may not be able to speak to their loved ones on future missions, which could lead to negative feelings. Its hoped that the chance to bake and sense familiar smells can bring
37、joy to crews (宇航人员). “Is the ISS going to smell like fresh-baked cookies? We dont know.” said NanoRacks communications manager Abby Dickes. “But thats a feeling we all know and love . . . that will make someone feel at home.”Baking cookies in space would mark an important step, offering a small comf
38、ort in the difficult and unfamiliar environment of space travel. Astronauts have already grown plants aboard the ISS. With commercial (商业的) space travel now being planned, who knows what other developments may surprise us in the future?32. What can the new technology help astronauts to do in space?A
39、. Store more foodB. Enjoy fresh cookiesC. Quickly prepare foodD. Keep food from going bad33. Why is it difficult to bake cookies in space?A. Its difficult and costly to send food into spaceB. Microgravity stops food from staying in one placeC. Baking cookies in space would pollute the spaceshipsD. I
40、t is hard to heat food properly because of microgravity34. What can we infer from Abby Dickes words?A. Astronauts on the ISS suffer a lotB. The ISS will be made cookie shapedC. The effort of making freshly baked cookies in space is necessaryD. The astronauts on the ISS took a bite of the cookies mad
41、e in space35. What was the main purpose of the cookie project?A. To improve astronauts healthB. To make improvements in space travelC. To encourage more people to travel to spaceD. To make space travel more comfortable for astronauts.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。A sp
42、eech is a wonderful opportunity to inform, persuade or entertain. 36 However, before you can go about the writing of a great speech, it is important to set goals. Goals keep you, your speech and your audience focused. What is a goal?In the context of a speech, a goal is the purpose of the speech, an
43、d what it hopes to accomplish. For example, the goal of a eulogy (颂歌) might be to celebrate the life of a loved one. 37 Why is a goal important?Without a goal, a speech is without direction. The goal informs the structure and content of the speech. 38 A speech with a goal of informing the audience w
44、ill keep the information fair and factual. A goal is incredibly important to the speechs ability to connect with an audience. 39 This severely reduces the effectiveness of the message. 40 If you have been charged with delivering a speech, establishing a goal can seem difficult at first. There are tw
45、o things to take into consideration. First think about who you will be speaking to. second, think about the topic itself. A. How to deliver a difficult speech?B. What to consider to establish a goal?C. A speechs goal drives the speaker to greater heights. D. The best speeches often combine all three
46、 of these components. E. The goal of a political speech would be to inform the crowd about the political position. F. If the speaker is unaware of the goal of the speech, the audience will likely be unaware as well. G. If a speechs goal is to convince people, the speech will be structured with persu
