Few destinations boast so many natural wonders packed into such a small area. Here are the best attractions travelers can explore. Kaikoura, South Island Birders, wildlife and seafood enthusiasts will love the charming coastal village of Kaikoura. Between the Seaward Kaikoura Range and the Pacific Ocean, Kaikoura offers excellent coastal hikes and popular whale watching tours. In addition to whales, passengers may spot fur seals, dolphins and a wide variety of birds. Queenstown, South Island Queenstown is New Zealand’s adventure capital. Bungee jumping jet boating, rock climbing, mountain biking and downhill skiing are just some of the thrilling things to do here. In addition to the adventure sports, Queenstown offers all the comforts, with first-class hotels, spas, restaurants, galleries and shops. Bay of Islands, North Island A three-hour drive north of Auckland, the beautiful Bay of Islands is one of the most popular vacation destinations in the country. There are more than 144 islands on the bay, making it a perfect place for sailing. Penguins, dolphins, and whales live in these fertile waters, and the region is a popular sport-fishing spot. The odd towns in the area such as Russell, Opua and Paihia are great bases for exploring this scenic bay. Rotorua, North Island This is a land where the Earth speaks. Boiling mud pools, volcanic craters and steaming thermal springs(温泉)reveal the forces of New Zealand’s dramatic landscapes. Visitors can take a walking tour of these geothermal wonders and bathe in the springs while visiting the interesting attractions to learn about the region’s rich Maori history and culture. 21. Where can visitors experience extreme sports? A. In Kaikoura. B. In Queenstown. C. At Bay of Islands. D. In Rotorua. 22. What do we know about Bay of Islands? A. It is suitable for fishing. B. There are several islands there. C. There are many military bases there. D. It belongs to South Island of New Zealand. 23. What is special about Rotorua? A. It offers coastal hike tours. B. It offers popular whale watching tours. C. It is the best known for varieties of wildlife. D. It is a good place to have a thermal spring bath. B Running is undoubtedly a healthy lifestyle, but it is difficult to stick to it. I still remember one 50-minute run in particular in the spring of 2018. I made a detailed plan at first and immediately began creating a long list of excuses as to why this was simply just not going to work, why I wasn’t fit enough and why I would fail. I was afraid that I had no confidence in my plan. Before I even tied my shoes, I’d already convinced myself I couldn’t do that. How would it go? I had quit the workout mentally before I even started. Who knows how many times I stopped and restarted my watch? I spent an awfully long afternoon sitting by the road feeling sorry for myself. One bad workout would even upset me for days. I questioned my fitness gradually and cut more workouts short. And pretty soon, my fitness gradually came to a steady level or moved backward. The problem I gradually realized was that I treated my entire training plan like a tempo run—hard, fast, strict. In a tempo run, if you don’t hit your pace early, it’s nearly impossible to catch up. Therefore, I realized I needed to treat my training like my favorite workout: the long run. I love ignoring my watch, settling into a relaxing pace, enjoying the route and focusing on only one goal—finishing. I love that I can have a bad mile in the middle and still end up strong. Now, when I set a new goal and write a new training plan, I have what I call “the long-run mindset”. I find success and value in my training because I’m not eager for immediate results as before. Yes, there is still an important place for hard fast tempo runs, but I have shifted my attitude to thinking bigger than short-term outcomes and work towards lifelong success. 24. How did the author first feel about his running plan? A. Positive. B. Convinced. C. Unsure. D. Unafraid. 25. What can we infer about the author from paragraph 2? A. He had a poor-quality watch. B. He had a loser’s mental state. C. His health was improving rapidly. D. His training plan was easy to follow. 26. How did the author manage to solve his problem? A. By ignoring the finishing line. B. By finding a tense workout pace. C. By forgetting his previous achievements. D. By treating the training in a different way. 27. What message does the author try to tell us? A. Doing is better than saying. B. Think twice before you leap. C. A good plan makes a good ending. D. It’s an attitude of mind that counts. C New research has found that people with mild cognitive impairment(认知损坏)may not necessarily develop dementia(痴呆)and, in fact, having higher education and advanced language skills more than doubles their chances of returning to normal. The study, led by researchers at the University of Waterloo, may reassure those with mild cognitive impairment as it contradicts a common assumption that the condition is simply an early stage of dementia. People with mild cognitive impairment show signs of cognitive decline, but not enough to prevent them from performing typical daily tasks. They have been considered at higher risk of progressing to the more severe cognitive decline seen in dementia. “Possessing high cognitive reserve, based on education, high academic grades, and written language skills, may predict what happens years after someone receives a diagnosis of mild cognitive impairment,” said Suzanne Tyas, a professor in the School of Public Health Sciences at Waterloo and lead author. “Even after considering age, genetics and established risk factors for dementia, we found that higher levels of education more than doubled the chances that people with mild cognitive impairment would return to normal cognition instead of progressing to dementia.” The study’s findings have meanings for treatment and research in people with mild cognitive impairment. “If individuals with higher cognitive reserve are more likely to improve even without treatment, then this needs to be taken into consideration when recruiting participants for clinical trials of prospective treatments and when interpreting the results of these trials,” Tyas said, adding there’s no cure for most causes of dementia, so the act of stopping it from occurring is key. 28. About mild cognitive impairment，which is consistent with the new study? A. It must result in dementia. B. It is an early stage of dementia. C. It doesn’t surely lead to dementia. D. It will stop people’s daily action. 29. How is one’s cognitive reserve assessed? A. Through level of education. B. Through social frequency. C. Through personal income. D. Through personal relationship. 30. What is the most significant thing to do with dementia? A. Proper cure. B. Medical care. C. Early prevention. D. Specific medicine. 31. What is the main idea of the text? A. Higher education and language skills may help stop dementia. B. Age and genetics are established risk factors for dementia. C. A study focuses on the consequence of cognitive impairment. D. People with cognitive impairment show cognitive decline. D Researchers from The University of Queensland(UQ)have helped design a new app to protect birds at risk of extinction across the world by eliminating language barriers among scientists. The Bird Language Diversity web app will help provide a “birds eye view”, ensuring vital information is shared to improve worldwide conservation. UQ’s Dr Pablo Negret said the research team analysed more than 10,000 bird species, and found that 1,587 species have 10 languages or more spoken within their distributions. “Scientific information on species can be spread across different languages, but valuable information can go missing or get lost in translation,” Dr Negret said. “Without enough sharing of information, this can affect the effectiveness of conservation measures.” Take the common bird Pochard for example. It is classified as vulnerable species(易危种)and crosses 108 countries in Europe, Asia and north Africa, where a total of 75 official languages are spoken. The survival of the common Pochard, and so many other species, depends on effective cooperation and policy agreements among people with diverse linguistic and cultural backgrounds. This app reveals where threatened and migratory birds exist geographically, in relation to the language spoken in those regions. ”We hope the app will encourage researchers and conservation organisations to interact with their peers in other regions, especially if they speak different languages, and be a starting point to allow everyone to work together to protect threatened species,” Dr Negret said. Dr Tatsuya Amano, a researcher and the co-author of the paper, said this work could extend further than bird species. “Any species, whether they’re mammals, amphibians(两栖动物), or plants, with a range crossing multiple countries will be impacted by language barriers, as well as species that migrate across different countries, such as marine species and butterflies,” he said. ”The significance of the impact of poor communication on such an important issue is evident, and is the reason why we’re working hard to improve science communication across languages.” 32. What does the underlined word “eliminating“ in paragraph 1 mean? A. Giving in to. B. Coming across. C. Putting up with. D. Breaking down. 33. What is the function of adequate sharing of information? A. Ensuring the effectiveness of protective measures. B. Helping people know more about scientists’ efforts. C. Spreading knowledge of the diversity of birds worldwide. D. Compromising the effectiveness of conservation measures. 34. What is shown on the app? A. The producer of the app. B. The organizations involved. C. The location of endangered birds. D. The information of new geographers. 35. What can be the best title for the text? A. Birds Protection Is an Urgency B. A New Bird App Spreads Its Wings C. A New Bird App Helps Learn Languages D. Poor Communication Impacts Cooperation 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。 At a time like the pandemic, not only do we miss hugs, but we need them. Touching someone reduces our own stress. ___36___ . An expert said, “A warm touch is how our systems reach one another. It says we are safe, we are loved, and we are not alone.” ___37___ . If you need a hug, take precautions. Wear a mask. Give and take your hugs outdoors. Try to avoid touching the other person’s body or clothes with your face or your mask during a hug. During a hug, the position of the faces matters most. The two of you should point your faces in opposite directions. Quickly approach each other and briefly embrace. ___38___ . And do the hug quickly. When you have finished hugging, back away quickly so you do not breathe onto each other’s faces. Wash your hands afterward. Don’t hug face to face. This position is a higher risk because the faces are so close. When the shorter person looks up, their breath travels up into the taller person’s breathing zone. ___39___ if the taller person is looking down. Do let your child hug you around the waist or knees. Hugging at the knee or waist level lowers risk for direct exposure because faces are far apart. However, there is potential for the child’s face to pollute the adult’s clothing. You might change clothes and should wash your hands after a visit that includes hugs with a child. ___40___ . “Most hugs last less than 10 seconds. Back away at least six feet before talking again. Holding your breath stops you from exhaling any virus into their breathing zone,” an expert said. A. It calms our nervous system B. The huggers’ bre
