Last weekend I went on an eco-travel with a travel agency. All the way we enjoyed the beautiful sceneries and fresh air. And a few of us picked flowers while go sightseeing. Some even tried to catch the birds they saw. What was worst, many tourists threw rubbish here and there, that may do great harm to wildlife there.

I don’t think this is a true eco-travel. A true eco-travel is a tour that not only allows us to express our love nature, but develop our responsibility as well. As we enjoy the beauty of the nature, we should spare no effort to protect them. And we should also try to protect wildlife. A true eco-travel should be like this: take nothing away but your wonderfully memory; leave nothing behind but all the green trees and the clean water.

When it comes to the season I like best, spring will always strike to me in no time. There are many reasons that I like spring best. One of the most romantic thing is to walk in a lightly rain in spring. What’s more, after a long cold winter, everything begin to come to life. But whenever there is a chance for me to go to the countryside, I will never hesitate to pack my bags and leave to the land. Finally, I adore spring because it is either too hot nor too cold. In word, I like everything in spring, especially the sight of green trees bathing in the sunshine.

【題目】 In 1953，a mountain climber reported seeing a bar-headed goose soar over the peak of Mount Everest (珠穆朗瑪 ). It was thought impossible. Now researchers who raised 19 of the geese—named for the black stripes on the backs of their heads—have shown the birds really fly so high.

The team trained the youngsters to fly in a large wind tunnel wearing backpacks and face masks full of sensors that recorded their heart rate. blood oxygen levels, temperature, and metabolic rate—how many calories they burned per hour. The researchers simulated(模擬)10w-, medium-, and high-altitude conditions by altering the concentration of oxygen supplied to face masks worn by each goose as it flew in the tunnel.

Birds already have a better heart and lungs than mammals for sustained physical activity. And researchers knew that bar-headed geese have even larger, thinner lungs that let them breathe more deeply and an even bigger heart to pump more oxygen to muscles than other birds.

The wind tunnel experiments showed that when the concentration of oxygen was at its lowest-like the 7% found on top of Mount Everest versus 21% at sea level—the geese's heart rate and frequency of wing beats remained the same even as their metabolic rate dropped. Somehow, the birds managed to cool down their blood-the measured blood temperature droppedso it could take in more oxygen, the researchers report today in eLife. This cooling likely helps compensate for the very thin air, the team says.

Although well trained, the birds were only willing to stay in the air a few minutes-or Iesswhen wearing their backpacks and flying at 6ihigh" altitudes. So it's not clear whether these adaptations alone are what make it possible to fly the 8 hours it takes to climb over Mount Everest. But those few minutes showed these geese really could fly over the top of Mount Everest.

【1】Why did the researchers raise 19 bar-headed geese and train them?

A.To test the flying height and speed of them.

B.To confirm they could fly over Mount Everest.

C.To observe them flying through the wind tunnel.

D.To see how many calories they burned per hour.

【2】What can we learn from the wind tunnel experinent?

A.It was carried out at very high altitude.

B.The geese managed to breathe less when their blood decreased.

C.The geese could live through the lowest concentration of oxygen.

D.It shows the geese could fly at high altitude for long.

【3】What still puzzles scientists about the geese?

A.Whether they have super hearts and lungs.

B.Whether they have muscles pumped more oxygen to.

C.Whether they are willing to wear backpacks and face masks.

D.Whether they can manage to fly 8 hours to climb over Mount Everest.

【4】Where does the text most probably come from?

A.A science fiction.

B.A climbing guide.

C.A travel brochure.

D.A science report.

I was eighteen, summer fading, when my parents drove me to my university apartment.

Such a strong woman was she 【3】 it was rare to see such a show of emotion. At the time, I was rather surprised.

As my parents drove off, I realized that they would return to an empty home, 【6】 all of their children leaving to pursue dreams and lives of their own. Their nest, full of love and joy for so long, was now empty. Relishing (憧憬) my new-found freedom, I concentrated on my college life.

It is a sacrifice that can only be paid back with love.

【題目】 Harry is a vehicle called a pod—in other words, something like a car. But Harry has no steering wheel or brake pedal. Harry does not even have a driver. Yet Harry is carrying passengers around London for the next few weeks.

Harry is part of an experiment called GATEway that is testing how people react to driverless vehicles. The name GATEway is short for Greenwich Automated Transport Environment. The experiment aims to help cities prepare for the future of transportation. The GATEway experiment does not test new technology. Instead, it tests the way existing technology can work in society.

The pod operates in an area of London called Greenwich, home of time and navigation museums. Other places where pods will be tested are Coventry, Milton, Keynes and Bristol. The pods run using sensors and a 3D map of the area. A safety operator rides along to take control in case of an emergency.

GATEway is intended to see how pedestrians and cyclists may adapt to driverless vehicles. Harry holds up to four people (three passengers and a safety operator) and can travel at speeds up to 16km/h. It is being tested in Greenwich on pedestrian paths, but not on roads with other vehicles.

If you are in Greenwich during the next few weeks you may see Harry, but you cannot ride in it during the trial. Over 5,000 people applied to be a passenger in Harry but only about 100 were chosen.

You can, however, ride in a similar pod at Heathrow Airport in London. The Heathrow pods run on tracks so they are not being tested with pedestrians, cyclists or other drivers. If the trials are successful, the first pods could be operational on the roads of the UK in 2020.

【1】What’s the purpose of the GATEway?

A.To settle traffic problems in cities.

B.To test a new transportation technology.

C.To prepare cities for future transportation.

D.To draw people’s interest in transportation.

【2】What will happen if Harry meets with dangerous situation?

A.The passengers will help.

B.It will deal with it by itself.

C.An accident will take place.

D.A human driver will take it over.

【3】Why is Harry running on the sidewalk?

A.To test the response of people walking or on a bike.

B.To avoid disturbing other vehicles on the street.

C.To prevent it from running at a high speed.

D.To watch pedestrians and cyclists go safely.

【4】What’s people’s attitude towards Harry?

A.Fearful.B.Positive.

C.Doubtful.D.Grateful.
