21、Land of fire and ice: Iceland

Join an unforgettable tour of Iceland’s splendid landscapes, timed to arrange four days filled with volcanic and geological adventure, and evening opportunities to see the Aurora Borealis.

Day 1: Vatnajokull Glacier (冰川)

Today you’ll take a walk on Europe’s biggest ice cap-Vatnajokull-which has around 30 glaciers flowing out from it. No experience is necessary to take part in the hike. It’s discouraging to think that the glacier is retreating due to rising world temperatures, and in future years the glacier may be gone. If you prefer a relaxing morning you can explore the surroundings of the farm stay and head to the Thorbergur Centre.

Day 2: Secret lagoon (泻湖) and Reykjavik

This morning we make our way to the Lava Centre which is an interactive, high-tech educational exhibition describing volcanic activity, earthquakes and the creation of Iceland over millions of years. After our visit, we will continue to the Secret Lagoon natural hot springs, located in the small village called Fludir, giving you the opportunity to relax in the warm waters before travelling to Reykjavik.

Day 3: Reykjanes peninsula (半岛)

Head out to the Reykjanes Peninsula. It is a land-born, highly volcanic counterpart of the Mid-Atlantic Spreading Ridge where two tectonic plates part at an average rate of 2.0-2.5 cm/yr. Four volcanic systems and fissure (裂缝) groups line the peninsula from SW to NE. They contain open fissures, normal faults, high-temperature fields and volcanic fissures.

Day 4: Depart Reykjavik

Today is departure day and time to say “sjaumst”. Your group departure transfer will take you to the airport for your flight home.

【1】Which of the following may make you feel worried?

A.Taking part in the hike.

B.The future of the glacier.

C.Walking on Europe’s biggest ice cap.

D.Exploring the surroundings of the farm stay.

【2】What may visitors do at the end of the second day?

A.Go to the Lava Centre. B.Visit natural hot springs.

C.Take a bath in hot springs. D.Stay the night in the small village.

【3】On which day can you see two moving plates?

A.Day 1. B.Day 2.

C.Day 3. D.Day 4.

22、   Mars(火星) appears to be flowing with small streams of salty water, at least in the summer, scientists reported Monday. “It suggests that it would be possible for there to be life today on Mars,” NASA’s science mission chief, John Grunsfeld, said at a news conference on September 28, 2015.

The streams are about 12 to 15 feet wide and 300 feet or more long, scientists said. “What we’re dealing with is wet soil, thin layers of wet soil, not standing water,” said Aifred McEwen of the University of Arizona at Tueson, the principal scientist for the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter’s high-resolution imaging experiment.

Because liquid water is essential to life, the findings could have major implications for the possibility of Martian life. The researchers said further exploration is needed to determine whether microscopic life exists on the planet.

The presence of liquid water could also make life easier for astronauts visiting or living on Mars. Water could be used for drinking and for creating oxygen and rocket fuel. NASA’s goal is to send humans there in the 2030s.

The evidence of flowing water consists largely of dark, narrow streaks(条痕) on the surface that tend to appear and grow during the warmest Martian months and fade the rest of the year.

Mars is extremely cold even in summer, and the streaks are in places where the temperature is as low as minus 10 degrees Fahrenheit. But salt can lower the freezing point of water and melt ice.

The source of the water is a mystery. Scientists noted it could be melting ice. It could be an underground aquifer, which is rock or sand that can hold water. It is possibly water vapor from the thin Martian atmosphere. Or it may be a combination Michael Meyer, lead scientist for NASA’s Mars exploration program, said the only definitive way for now to determine whether there’s life on Mars is to collect rocks and soil for analysis on Earth—something a U. S. lander set for lift-off in 2020 will do.

【1】According to John Grunsfeld, there seems to be   on Mars.

A.salty water B.standing water

C.rocket fuel D.human beings

【2】Scientists are uncertain about the of the water on Mars．

A.state B.source

C.temperature D.taste

【3】What matters to the existence of liquid water on Mars?

A.The distance from the sun B.The favorable climate

C.The gravity of the earth D.The salt in it

【4】What would be the best title for the text?

A.Streams of Water Spotted on Mars

B.Astronauts will Land on Mars

C.NASA’s Mars Exploration Program

D.A Breakthrough in the Exploration of Mars

23、Like most people, you have probably lost count of the number of perfect-looking shoes you have thrown away simply because the rubber soles (橡胶鞋底) are broken. In addition to the expense, it is also harmful to our environment. Now, thanks to a revolutionary self-healing 3-D printed rubber material, broken shoe soles may be a thing of the past.

The magical polymer (聚合物) is developed by the researchers at the University of Southern California’s (USC) and the University of Connecticut (UConn) . The team, led by USC Assistant Professor Qiming Wang, created it through a process called photopolymerization, which uses light to solidify the liquid used to create 3-D printed plastic. The researchers found that adding the right amount of oxidant (氧化剂) to the liquid allowed the 3-D polymer to heal (愈合) without slowing down the hardening process.

“When we gradually increase the oxidant, the self - healing behavior becomes stronger, but the photopolymerization behavior becomes weaker,” explained Wang. “There is competition between these two behaviors.”

The team, who published the findings in the journal NPG Asia Materials on February 1st,2019, state that the repair time can be reduced by increasing the room temperature. “If you just put a broken shoe on a bench at room temperature, the rubber will heal itself in six to eight hours,” Wang said. “If you apply heat at maybe 60℃, that expedites the healing process to about two hours.”

Given the material s huge potential, it is not surprising to hear that Wang and his team have been approached by several shoe-making companies eager to be the first to use the technology, which is still in the early stages. Once perfected, the scientists also hope to apply the technique to hard plastics that can be used to create self-healing toys, electronics, vehicle parts, and, if Wang has his way, even tires.

【1】How do the researchers make 3-D printed plastic self- heal?

A．By changing the amount of light used.

B．By raising the temperature at which it is used.

C．By increasing the hardening speed of the liquid.

D．By adding the proper amount of oxidant to the liquid.

【2】What can be inferred from the text?

A．The creation of 3-D printed plastic doesn’t need light.

B．The surrounding temperature determines the speed of healing.

C．Many shoe making companies got the right to use the technology.

D．Throwing away broken shoe soles has been a thing of the past.

【3】What does the underlined word “expedites” mean?

A．Strengthens.

B．Delays.

C．Accelerates.

D．Worsens.

【4】Which of the following can be the best title of the text?

A．Self - healing shoes may be in our future.

B．3-D printing technology makes a difference.

C．Self - healing technology will serve many fields.

D．A revolution of rubber soles has changed our life.

24、Our supposedly shrinking attention spans are a hot topic these days—as you may have seen on TV or heard on a podcast or read on Twitter or glimpsed on your watch. A 2018 Microsoft report claimed the average human attention span had shrunk from 12 seconds in 2008 to eight seconds in 2018 (even shorter than the nine seconds of focus maintained by the easily distracted goldfish), most likely on its way to zero.

Yes, this sort of warning is as old as the hills. An 1897 article in The American Electrician worried that a growing dependence on the telephone would turn us all into “transparent heaps of jelly”. But while the idea of addiction to smartphones is controversial, numerous studies have found that compulsive phone use can lead to separation anxiety, chronic fear of missing out and a painful thumb condition.

Yet blaming smart phones for our distraction feels too easy—human attention has always been fleeting. A study conducted several years before the first iPhone was released found that workers spent an average of just two minutes using a particular tool or document before switching to another. Moreover, interruptions may have an advantage. Many workers who prevented themselves from distraction by website-blocking software became more aware of time’s passage and were able to work for longer stretches—but also reported higher stress levels as a result of their sustained focus.

For those seeking to exercise greater control over their attention span, science has some suggestions. A 2016 study found that mindfulness meditation (正念冥想) led to short-term improvements in attention, and that the long-term benefits of frequent mindfulness were significantly large among heavy multimedia multitaskers.

Ultimately, it’s worth asking: How long do we really want our attention span to be? A little mindfulness can be beneficial, while too much sustained focus can elevate our stress levels. What’s lacking these days, then, may not be attention so much as self-control in the face of countless distractions that are inviting and diverting (有趣的). In the end, it seems like our only hope as a people, as a civilization, really, is to... to, um—sorry. Lost my train of thought.

【1】What does the author want to tell us by referring to The American Electrician?

A．Humans will be reduced to be heaps of jelly.

B．Smartphone is the contributor to mental diseases.

C．Anxiety over electronic devices has existed long before.

D．New media create a serious disturbance to people’s attention.

【2】What does the underlined word “fleeting” refer to?

A．Easily-blocked.

B．Hard-bitten.

C．Short-lived.

D．Long-lasting.

【3】Which of the following may extend our attention span?

A．Heavy multitasks on websites.

B．Regular mindfulness practice.

C．Greater control over meditation.

D．Short-term improvements in focus.

【4】What can be learned from the last paragraph?

A．Short-term mindfulness is more practical.

B．Great self-control is essential in modern life.

C．Sustained focus results from higher stress levels.

D．He was very sorry for losing his train of thought.
