A travel brochure.BIn the time to my Peru trip, I found out about a place known as Machu Picchu. It was so beautifu
16、l that it made me doubt whether Machu Picchu would even be the highlight of my trip. My first glance at the secret city of the Inca ( spelled “Inka” in Peru, which means “king”) removed my doubt.Machu Picchu was built less than a hundred years before the Spanish conquest of the early 1500s, but was
17、quickly abandoned before it was even completed when word of the Inkas defeat reached the area. It was a place where the highest priests ( 神 父 ) and selected worthy people lived to honor the gods above.When the Spaniards conquered the area known as the Empire of the Inca, they were known to destroy o
18、ld signs of worship ( 崇 拜 ) as they conflicted with their beliefs in a single God. Thankfully, Machu Picchu wasnt known by the Spaniards, or anyone that wasnt a local. Until 1911, the American historian, Hiram Bingham, made his famous exploration and exposition of the site.While Machu Picchu is know
19、n to almost everyone in the world today, it is quite surprising how isolated ( 与 世隔绝的 ) it still is. Despite the difficulties of getting there, about half a million people visit it every year.The city is far larger than I expected and much like Chichen Itza in Mexico and has many geometrically posit
20、ioned buildings. Starting from Cusco, you see signs everywhere that call Machu Picchu “La Maravilla del Mundo” ( The World Wonder ) and I couldnt agree more. In 2007, Machu Picchu was named one of the New 7 Wonders of the World and I have yet to see a more deserving site.24.How did the author feel a

Approving.C “Your mind is a garden; your thoughts are the seeds. The harvest can either be flowers or weeds,” William Wordsworth wrote. In the abov
24、e quote, William suggests that the process of gardening mirrors human life. Depending on what we “plant” in our lives, we bloom (生长茂盛) or dont. Before you start to work in your garden, its necessary to have a vision for it. Thinking of what you want to grow in your garden and how to lay it out is a
25、good first step in making your vision a fruitful reality. In life, you should consider what you want to create and what you want to achieve, because your mind-garden is like the white paper and the possibilities are endless. Regardless of what you choose to plant, poor soil isnt suitable for growth.
26、 This is why gardeners take the time and energy to upgrade the soil before planting. So, creating the right soil is important to the realization of your goals and dreams. Fortunately, there are countless ways to make your personal bedrock better. Getting an education is one of the most effective way
27、s, which can help you enrich your lifes soil.You dont have to be an enthusiastic gardener to understand the meaning of “You reap(收获) what you sow.” When a gardener wants tomatoes, they just need to plant tomato seeds. Its a very clear act that produces an expected result. Each of us has the power to
28、 decide which “life seeds” to plant. For example, if you plant ill seeds, its likely that youll experience pain in return. Contrarily, if you plant seeds of kindness and understanding, your life will bloom with happiness and love. A gardeners truly arduous work begins after the seeds are in the grou
29、nd because a garden requires a lot of care and attention. Regular watering and weeding are required for a healthy garden. So, to ensure your dreams take root, you should be devoted, aware, and present. After countless hours and energy spent, the crops have grown well and are finally ready to be harv

What does the underlined word “arduous” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Beneficial B. Creative C. Boring. D.
33、ToughDHowever exciting space exploration sounds, theres a necessary and important point about it that needs to be considered: food supplies. Right now, astronauts typically rely on dry food in airtight bags and cans, since there are strict weight limits on items taken into space. Foods that we take
34、for granted, such as fresh fruit and vegetables, are out of the question for space explorers.For those whove made an effort to try to grow food during space flights, theyve faced many difficulties, including the absence of gravity, and a lack of soil, air and humidity ( 湿 度 ) . However, growing food
35、 to add and minimise ( 最小化 ) the food that must be carried to space will be increasingly important on long-duration flights into space. Great efforts have been made to explore the idea of space farming. Recently, a team led by Federico Maggi at the University of Sydney in Australia have worked out h
36、ow plants can absorb nutrients from human urine ( 尿 ) , as was reported by New Scientist on March 27.After over 20 years of experiments, the results suggested that human urine could supply three to four out of the six nutrients that plants need. The researchers also found out that urine-fertilised p
37、lants produce no harmful by-products, such as carbon dioxide or ammonia.According to New Scientist, human urine is 95 percent water, with the other 5 percent made from nutrients which are harmful to the human body but not to plants. The advantage of this urine fueled life support system is obvious:
38、By recycling liquid waste and producing food, an efficient cycle will be created.And most importantly, said New Scientist, the duration of space flights will be greatly extended to “20 years of flight”, meaning we may be soon sending astronauts on flights to Mars, or even beyond.32. What does the un
39、derlined part “out of the question” in the first paragraph probably mean?A. Uncertain.B. Doubtless.C. Impossible.D. Unnecessary.33.

43、nish. Take oil paintings for example.

44、might cost you $1, 000, but physical art is pretty expensive. Pencils, paper, paints, paintbrushes and all of the other things you need soon get expensive.
