4、tlementGulangyu Island, known in the local dialect as Kulangsu, is located on the entry of the Jiulong River, facing the city of Xiamen. The island was occupied by at least adozencountries, including Great Britain, France and Japan. As a result, Western culture grew rapidly there in the 19th century
5、, especially music. With such a harmonious blend of Western music and Eastern culture, G ulangyu is naturally referred to as the“island of music ”It is famous for its outstanding musicians and musical instruments.Qinghai Hoh XilHoh Xil, which means “beautiful girl ” in Mongolian, is located in the n
6、orth -eastern end of the Qinghai-Tibe tan Plateau. Hoh Xil National Nature Reserve is China's largestand the world 's third largest uninhabited area. Because of the high altitude and fierce weather, it is impossible for people to live there, and therefore, it is a paradise for wildlife and h
7、ome to more than 230 species of wild animals including endangered species such as the Tibetan antelope, which is recognized as the National Class I Protected animal.Huangshan MountainHuangshan, known as “the loveliest mountain of China”, lies in the southof Anhuiprovince in eastern China. The scenic
8、 area covers 154 sq km, and is famous for its peaks, rocks, pines, clouds and springs. It also has a rich cultural heritage. Xu Xiake, a famous traveler of the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), visited Huangshan twice, and described it in a poem, calling it the best of all mountains in China. Today it holds

12、 airfield in New York and headed for Paris. During the first fourteen hours of flying, he had had some anxious moments. Sleet had gathered on the wings of the plane and the fog was so thick that he could hardly see the tips of the wings. However, he had come across equally dangerous flying condition
13、s before. Of course, now that he was over the ocean, his parachute(降落伞) was useless. He had only one choice: he had to go on.Although he had waited a long time to make this trip, he did not feel strange or nervous. He was accustomed to flying alone, and he had flown this route in his imagination man
14、y times. The idea of flying across the Atlantic had occurred to him one night when he hadbeen carrying the mail between St. Louis and Chicago. That night, he told himself that a solo non-stop flight between New York and Paris was possible. He knew that airplanes capable of making the long flight ove
15、r the ocean could be built. A man of skill and endurance could make his dream come true.As he was recalling that night, he reduced the altitude of the plane. Close to the surface of the ocean, he found that the ice on the wings began to melt and the fog disappeared. For the time being, at least, he
16、was safe. The steady sound of the motor seemedl ike music in his ears. He had perfect confidence in his plane because he knew that there was not a more dependable plane than his. The Ryan Aircraft Company had constructed the plane to meet his special needs. He had worked with the chief engineer of t
17、he company, Donald Hall, to produce the airplane as rapidly as possible. Although Hall had worked with the basic design of the Ryan airplane, he had had to make many modifications. As a result, it was a very special airplane. He had named it “ The Spirit of St. Louis, ” in honour of the St. Louis bu
18、sinessmen whose financial backing had made the trip possible. Besides their money, he had invested all of his own savings, which came to two thousand dollars, in the venture.At 12:10 on the afternoon of May 21, Lindbergh caught sight of the coast of Ireland. Nowt hat the flight was almost over, he b
19、egan to relax a little. Finally, after thirty-four hours in the air without sleep, he arrived at Le Bourget Field, in Paris.24. According to Paragraph 2, Lindbergh Jr. didn 't feel nervous about the flight because of the following reasons EXCEPT that .A. he was used to flying aloneB. he had wait
20、ed a long time for the tripC. he had imagined flying the route many timesD. his plane was speciallydesigned25. What can we infer from Paragraph 3?A. The pilot listened to music as he reduced the altitude of the plane.B. The trip was made possible thanks to the financial support from some businessmen
21、.C. The plane got its name in memory of a non-stop trip.D. The chief engineer designed the airplane independently to meet the pilot's needs.26. What does the underlined word in Paragraph 3 mean?A. beautiful decorations B. regular repairsC. small changes D. careful arrangements27. Which of the fo
22、llowing would be the best title?A. Wings Across the AtlanticB. A Solo Non-stop Flight of 24 HoursC. The Spirit of St. LouisD. An Outstanding PilotCharles A. Lindbergh Jr.CThe discussion on renewable energy has been going on for at least a decade and people have relied on fossil fuels almost entirely
23、 for more than a century. However, the situation when fossil fuels were the most efficient and the cheapest source of energy has been left far in the past. Many countries such as Germany and Sweden have already made significant efforts to fix this situation, employing numerous power plants working o
24、n the renewable resources of energy. The most effective among these resources is geothermal(地热的)energy.Geothermal energy does not depend on the world' s economic and political situationas strongly as fossil fuels do. Besides, extracting (提炼) fossil fuels adds to the price of energy produced from
25、 them. Therefore, geothermal energy is much cheaper than traditional ones, saving up to 80% of the costs over fossil fuels.Being a renewable resource, geothermal energy produces less waste and pollution than traditional energy sources. In geothermal systems, carbon dioxide makes up about 10% of air
26、produced. Overall, in order to produce the electricity that can be used for one hour, the geothermal systems produce 0.1 pound of carbon dioxide and other harmful gases. For a comparison, a power plant producing from gas produces up to 2 pounds of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, and those power
27、plants that work on coal (煤) produce an astonishing 3.6 pounds of greenhouse gases.Low costs is another reason why using geothermal power plants should be the first choice for manyc ountries. Geothermal heat systems require 25%t o 50%l ess energy for work compared with the traditional systems for he
28、ating or cooling. Besides, geothermal equipment is less big: due to the very nature of geothermal energy, geothermal power plants have only a fewmoving parts, all of which can be easily sheltered inside a relatively small building.What's more, the life span of geothermal equipment is rather long
29、. All these make geothermal power stations easy to build and keep.28. Fossil fuels are more expensive than geothermal energy partly because .A. it is free to use geothermal energyB. the production of fossil fuels costs a lotC. fossil fuels are nearly used upD. geothermal energy doesn 't depend o
30、n political situation29. According to Paragraph 3, what can be concluded from the comparison?A. Geothermal energy is environmentally friendly.B. Gas and coal are often used to produce electricity.C. Coal is much more efficient than gas.D. The geothermal systems don 't produce har mful gases.30.
31、Geothermal equipment is usually not as big as that of traditional energy because of.A. the life span of geothermal equipmentB. geothermal powerplantsC. the nature of geothermal energy D. the small buildings31. What is the main idea of this passage?A. Many countries have benefited from geothermal ene
32、rgy.B. Geothermal energy is well accepted.C. Fossil fuels are being run out of.D. Geothermal energy has many advantages.DOne evening, author Neil 's son was angry. Neil had said one of those things that parents say, like “isn 't it time you were in bed.” His son looked up at him, angry and s

34、eir children'development. Roland Warren, Director of the National Fatherhood Initiative, says that, “The shape of their dads has a role in the kids' soul. ” I agree. We live in the bestof times and the worst of times for fatherhood. Wel ive in the best of times because fatherswho are engaged
35、 in their child's life spend more time than fathers of any previousgeneration. We live in the worst of times because there are still millions of childrenwho continue to miss the regular presence of Dad.What difference does a dad make? Are they really that important? For the most part, studies ha
