9、(共15小题，每小题2分，满分30分) AAre you looking for something to do? You might like to try one of these four experiences.Crocodile watchingDo you fancy getting up close to some of the most terrifying animals on earth? Crocosaurus Cove, in Darwin (Australia) has the “Cage of Death. Its an enclosure that is lowe
10、red into a pool. This gives you a 360 degree view of a crocodile as its being fed. The cable broke once and the cage sank to the bottom, but theyve fixed it since then.EdgewalkHow about walking along the edge of a building several hundred meters up in the air? If that sounds like fun, head off to th
11、e CN Tower in Toronto (Ontario, Canada). Built in 1976, the tower is 553.33 meters tall. The Edge Walk consists of a 20-30 minute stroll along a 1.5 meter wide platform that runs around the towers restaurant roof. During the walk, youre encouraged to lean forwards as you look over Torontos skyline（轮
12、廓线）.Plastic ball rollingDo you fancy rolling down a hill in a plastic ball? Plastic ball rolling is popular all over the world, but the place to give it a go is in Rotorua (New Zealand). Brother David and Andrew Akers came up with the idea in 1994. A typical orb (球) is about 3 meters in diameter, wi
13、th an inner orb size of about 2 meters. Theres no brake or steering mechanism, but the inner layer of the plastic ball helps absorb the shock.Volcano bungee jumpingIf youre looking for the adventure of a lifetime, how about going bungee jumping off a helicopter into the crater of a live volcano? As
14、part of the jumping, a helicopter ride takes you to the Villarican volcano. One of the most active in Chile. Once youre at the drop zone, you leap off the helicopter and fall into the volcano. Finally you enjoy the ride back to the airport flying at 130kph.Attracted by the above? If so, please conta

17、me.C. Held on high places.D. Fit for middle to old people.BWhen Jenny Benson was eight, her mother took her to soccer practice for the first time.“Shes never played soccer before, Mrs. Benson told the coach, “Im not sure how shell do.”Jenny ran onto the field and joined the other players. Over the n
18、ext hour, Mrs. Benson and the coach watched as Jenny out-ran many of the more experienced players.“I knew then that soccer would be Jennys sport.”Mrs. Benson recalls. And she was right.It may have helped that Jenny had spent much of her time trying to keep up with her three brothers. I wanted to be
19、just like them.” Jenny says, My family has inspired me for my entire life.”Jenny has retired from the United States womens national soccer team. She started out on her professional career in the Philadelphia Charge, a team in the Womens United Soccer Association (WUSA). Later on, she joined FC Energ
20、y Voronezh, and then New Jersey Wildcats.When the WUSA was being formed, league officials watched many college soccer games, looking for players good enough to join the league. They were very interested in Jenny, who played for the University of Nebraska.“Throughout that college season, I knew I was
21、 being watched.”Jenny says, I knew I couldnt be perfect, so I just tried to be very consistent and have fun.”As a professional, Jenny relied on her focused but fun-loving attitude. “ In a game，I try never to put too much pressure on myself. The more I concentrate on having fun, the better I play. Sh
22、e says, “I have good and bad days, just like everyone else, but I know the sun will always come up after a bad day. So all I have to do is to adjust myself, either to the change of my inner feelings or to the change of circumstances. That helps me get through anything.”24. What can we learn from Jen

25、 Jenny retired from the national team.C. How Jennys brothers influenced her career.D. What made Jenny a good soccer player.CCrossing your legs is an extremely common habit; most people dont even notice that theyre doing it when they sit down. While you may find comfortable to sit with one knee cross
26、ed over the other, it might be causing health problems that you are not aware of.A study published in Blood Pressure Monitoring stated that sitting with your legs crossed can increase your blood pressure. The reason for this is that the blood in your legs has to work against gravity to be pumped bac
27、k to your heart and that crossing one leg over the other increases resistance, making it even harder for the blood to circulate. This causes your body to increase your blood pressure to push the blood back to the heart. You wont feel any immediate effects, but repeated, drawn-out increases in blood
28、pressure can cause long-term health issues. So, planning to sit for a long period of time? Dont keep your legs crossed.Crossing your legs at the knee can also cause pressure on the major nerve in your leg that passes just below your knee and along the outside of your leg, explains Richard Graves, a
29、medical expert. This pressure can cause numbness and temporary paralysis（麻痹）of some of the muscles in your foot and leg, preventing you from being able to raise your ankle-what we know as that pins and needles sensation. While the feeling of discomfort may only last a minute or two, repeatedly cross
30、ing your legs until they feel numb can cause permanent nerve damage.So next time you sit down, try to get yourself in the habit of sitting with both of your feet on the floor. Not only will it help your posture and stability, but it will also save your health in the long run.28. What can we learn ab
31、out crossing ones legs?A. It is a very bad social habit.B. It is usually practiced deliberately.C. It can do harm to peoples health.D. It can make others feel uncomfortable.29. According to the study, sitting with your legs crossed can _.A. Affect your blood pressure.B. Resist gravity effectively.C.
32、 Lead to heart attacks easily.D. Improve the function of legs.30. In the third paragraph pins and needles” probably means _.A. Slight sharp pains.B. Being a little nervous.C. Serious muscle injuries.D. Being highly flexible.31. What is the main purpose of the text?A. To compare common habits.B. To g
33、ive readers some advice.C. To evaluate effects of an experiment.D. To introduce research methods. DFor all the technological wonders of modern medicine health carewith its fax machines and clipboards(写字板)-is out of date. This outdated era is slowly drawing to a close as the industry catches up with
34、the artificial- intelligence (AI) revolution.Eric Topol, an expert in heart disease and enthusiast for digital medicine, thinks AI will be particularly useful for such tasks as examining images, observing heart traces for abnormalities or turning doctors words into patient records. It will be able t
35、o use masses of data to work out the best treatments, and improve workflows in hospitals. In short, Al is set to save time, lives and money.The fear some people have is that Al will be used to deepen the assembly-line culture of modern medicine. If it gives a “gift of time” to doctors, they argue th
36、at this bonus should be used to extend consultations, rather than simply speeding through them more efficiently.That is a fine idea, but as health swallows an ever-bigger share of national wealth, greater efficiency is exactly what is needed, at least so far as governments and insurers are concerned
37、. Otherwise, rich societies may fail to cope with the needs of ageing and growing populations. An extra five minutes spent chatting with a patient is costly as well as valuable. The Al revolution will also enable managerial accountants to adjust and evaluate every aspect of treatment. The autonomy o
38、f the doctor will surely be weakened, especially, perhaps, in public-health systems which are duty-bound to cut unnecessary costs. The Hippocratic Oath(誓言) holds that there is an art to medicine as well as a science and that “warmth, sympathy and understanding may outweigh the surgeons knife or the
39、chemists drug”. Theres lots of sense in it: the patients of sympathetic physicians have been shown to recover better. Yet as the supply of human carers fails to satisfy the demand for health care, the future may involve consultations on smartphones and measurements monitored by chatbots. The conside
40、rately warmed stethoscope(听诊器)，placed gently on a patients back, may become a relic of the past.32.Whats DrTopolsattitudetowardAlscomingintomedicine?A.Concerned. B.Doubtful.C.Optimistic.

Your parents are the people who raised you, devoting time, energy and money to your development. 36 No matter your age, there ar
43、e 4 ways to show respect.l Respect their belongingsOne important way to show respect is to show regard for the things important to your parents.

46、o lunch or dinner or bake a cake or cookies. Most parents dont expect expensive gifts, but a handmade gift is always appreciated.
