They can also be ranked by their openness and friendliness towar
10、d visitors. You might be shocked to find out that, for example, the USA is number 102 on the list of the least welcoming places, 140 being the most unfriendly land.MongoliaMongolia was closed for quite some time and opened up to foreigners only 20 years ago. Thats probably the major reason why it is
11、 not yet experienced enough in hosting tourists. The country is beautiful, with huge spacious areas of land that are low populated. There local people are not yet used to being visited by foreign guests.SlovakiaThere are, undoubtedly, pluses as well as minuses in every country. Slovakia is not the p
12、erfect destination for a couple of reasons. First and foremost, Slovakia is becoming more and more similar to the rest of European countries surrounding it. Sameness is not the best quality. As a rule, tourists want to travel and see things they have never seen before. It is good that the lands coun
13、tryside is still unique, although it is also being commercialized day by day.IranIran is not the best place to travel to. It is located close to Pakistan with its negative political atmosphere. Western visitors are not welcome over there and embassies (大使馆) advise against traveling to Iran. The popu
14、lation, contrary to the countrys government, consists of very friendly and welcoming people.KuwaitIn Kuwait people are warm and friendly. It has a unique history, plenty of traditions and customs. People respect their culture and are very religious. It is a Muslim country, which means that you are n
15、ot allowed to drink alcohol. If you happen to visit Kuwait during Ramadan, you will not be allowed to eat in public places, either.RussiaRussia is truly a special place. It is definitely worth visiting. What you might not find attractive is the corruption and bureaucracy (官僚主义) that rule in some cer
16、tain official circles. Another nuisance you should be ready for is that, as a visitor, youll be asked to receive an invitation. Only then will you be able to apply for a visa. Once you arrive in Russia, youll be warmly greeted and accepted by the local people.21.Youll meet friendly people in the fol
17、lowing countries except in _.A. IranB. KuwaitC. MongoliaD. Russia22.Which of the statements is true according to the text?A. You can apply for a visa for Russia at will.B. If youre fond of drinking, then Kuwait is not an ideal destination.C. Youre not advised to travel in Iran due to its high cost.D
18、. Mongolia is a beautiful country with much experience in hosting tourists.23.Where does this passage probably come from?A. A news report. B. A lecture speech.C. An advertisement. D. A text book.B The worlds insects are hurtling down the path to extinction, threatening a “catastrophic collapse of na
19、tures ecosystems”, according to the first global scientific review. More than 40% of insect species are declining and a third are endangered, the analysis found. The rate of extinction is eight times faster than that of mammals, birds and reptiles.“It should be of huge concern to all of us, for inse
20、cts are at the heart of every food web. They pollinate the large majority of plant species, keep the soil healthy, recycle nutrients, control pests, and much more. Love them or loathe them, we humans cannot survive without insects, ” said Prof Dave Goulson at the University of Sussex in the UK.The a
21、nalysis, published in the journal Biological Conservation, says intensive agriculture is the main drive of the decline, particularly the heavy use of pesticides. Urbanization and climate change are also significant factors.One of the biggest impacts of insect loss is on the many birds, reptiles, amp
22、hibians and fish that eat insects. A small number of adaptable species are increasing in number, but not nearly enough to outweigh the big losses.Matt Shardlow, at the conservation charity Buglife, said, “It is gravely sobering to see this collation of evidence that demonstrates the pitiful state of
23、 the worlds insect populations. It is increasingly obvious that the planets ecology is breaking and there is a need for an intense and global effort to stop and reverse these dreadful trends.”24.What does “are hurtling down ” underlined mean?A. To climb very slow in a straight direction.B. To move v
24、ery fast in a particular direction.C. To become lower in value or level quickly.D. To speed up suddenly in a particular direction.25.According to the passage, _ doesnt cause the decline of the insects.A. intensive agricultureB. urbanizationC. climate changeD. pests control26.In Paragraph 4, the auth
25、or wants to stress the decline of insects_.A. by giving the examplesB. by making the comparisonC. by giving the definitionD. by making the explanation27.What is the main idea of the text?A. Sharply decreasing insects numbers threaten the damage of nature.B. The impacts will be brought by the insect
26、loss.C. The effective measures are taken to stop the scary trends.D. The leading factors that cause insects decline.CHow to Make Friends, According to ScienceFriendship is one of lifes most important features, and one too often taken for granted.The human desire for companionship may feel boundless,
27、 but research suggests that our social capital is finite we can only handle a certain number of relationships at one time. Social scientists have used some creative approaches to measure the size of peoples social networks; these have returned estimates ranging from about 250 to about 5,500 people.
28、Looking more specifically at friendship, a study using the exchange of Christmas cards to test closeness put the average persons friend group at about 121 people. However vast our networks may be, our inner circle tends to be much smaller. The average American trusts only 10 to 20 people. Moreover,
29、that number may be shrinking: From 1998 to 2017, the average number of trusted friends decreased from three to two. This is both sad and of important consequence, because people who have strong social relationships tend to live longer than those who dont.So what should you do if your social life is
30、lacking? Here the research is instructive. To begin with, dont refuse to consider the humble acquaintance（交情）. Even interacting with people with whom one has weak social ties has a meaningful influence on well-being. Beyond that, building deeper friendships may be largely a matter of putting in time
31、. A recent study out of the University of Kansas found that it takes about 50 hours of socializing to go from acquaintance to casual friend, an additional 40 hours to become a “real” friend, and a total of 200 hours to become a close friend.If that sounds like too much effort, renewing inactive soci
32、al ties can be especially rewarding. Reconnected friends can quickly recapture the trust they previously built, while offering each other a dash of novelty（新奇）drawn from whatever theyve been up to in the meantime. And if all else fails, you could start randomly to tell secrets to people you dont kno
33、w that well. Self-disclosure makes us more likable, and as a bonus, we are more likely to favor those to whom we have revealed our soul.Longing for closeness and connection is common and everywhere, which suggests that most of us are stumbling（跌跌撞撞）through the world, expecting companionship that cou
34、ld be easily provided by the lonesome stumblers all around us. So set aside this article, turn to someone nearby, and try to make a friend.28.From Paragraph 2, we can know that .A. a strong social relationship can guarantee a long lifeB. real friendships are based on the exchange of presentsC. peopl
35、es inner circle is decreasing despite large social networksD. peoples social networks depend on their desire for companionship29.What does the author suggest to improve ones social life?A. Sharing secrets with close friends.B. Choosing likable people as friends.C. Avoiding the humble acquaintance.D.
36、 Spending time for deeper friendships.30.What is the passage mainly about?A. The tips on how to develop friendship.B. The reasons for seeking companionship.C. The benefits brought by a good social life.D. The relationship between friendship and happiness.31.The author helps readers better understand
37、 his idea mainly by .A. using research resultsB. making comparisonsC. giving some examplesD. telling personal storiesD Last fall, I happened to overhear a student telling the others he had decided not to sign up for an introductory philosophy course. The demands of his major, he said seriously, mean
38、t he needed to take “practical” courses, and “enlightenment” would simply have to wait. For now, employability was the most important.The students conversation fits into a larger alarming narrative about the role of the humanities in higher education. In a time of dizzying technological achievement
39、and of rapid scientific innovation, sceptics of the humanities may question the usefulness of studying Aristotle, the Italian Renaissance or Chinese fiction.Actually, I regret not interrupting that student to argue for taking that introductory philosophy course. I would have started by reminding him
40、 that, for much of Americas history, college graduates were not considered truly educated unless they had mastered philosophy, literature, political theory and history. The key role of higher education was to invite students into the conversations about matters like what it means to be alive and the
41、 definition of justice. Fostering engagement with these subjects is still an essential part of the universitys function in society.I would have also mentioned to the student that he was misinformed about the job market. It is true that many employers are looking for graduates with specialized techni
42、cal skills, but they also look for other capabilities. As the world is transformed by artificial intelligence, machine learning and automation, the unique human qualities of creativity, imagination and moral reasoning will be the ultimate coin of the realm. All these skills are developed in humaniti
43、es courses.Further, I would have argued that while a degree anchored in the sciences is an important precondition for many jobs, it is not the only route. Look no further than the founders of companies such as LinkedIn, Slack and Flickr, who are among the many tech businesspersons with degrees in th
44、e humanities, and who credit that training for their success.Contrary to the widely held belief that humanities majors have a hard time getting jobs, recent studies show that those with humanities degrees are successful in the workplace, experiencing low rates of unemployment and reporting high leve
45、ls of job satisfaction. The ratio between average median(中位数) incomes for humanities degree holders and those with business, engineering, and health and medical sciences degrees has been shown to narrow over the course of a career.The case for the humanities can also be understood in less transactio
46、nal terms and more as a foundational preparation for a life well lived. A humanities education plays a vital role in encouraging citizens to lead an examined life. It fosters critical thinking, self-reflection, empathy and tolerance, the usefulness of which only becomes more apparent as one navigate
47、s lifes challenges.By all means, students should take courses they think practical and follow their interests, but if they also make a point of studying the literature of the Renaissance, or researching into modern poetry, or even taking introductory philosophy, we will all benefit.32.What does the
48、students conversation show?A. Students feel employment difficult.B. Students think philosophy less important.C. Students find scientific innovation amazing.D. Students consider university courses unsatisfying.33.What does the underlined part in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A. Highly valued.B. Equally a
49、pplied.C. Strictly assessed.D. Greatly improved.34.The author may agree that humanities _.A. discover students artistic abilityB. prepare students for graduationC. raise awareness of social statusD. provide great insights into life35.Which of the following shows the development of ideas in the passa
