21、Spanish language schools in Puerto Rico

Fittingly known as the “Island of Enchantment”, Puerto Rico is straight out of a Caribbean daydream. Among endless beaches, travelers are offered an unmatched chance to learn Spanish while bathed in the beautiful sunshine!

Course types

University courses

University-based language courses offer travelers the most structured linguistics (语言学) program, combining classroom instruction and group tours with homestay experiences. Though an intermediate (中等的) level of Spanish is often required, travelers are afforded the opportunity to gain academic credit and work alongside their peers.

Group programs

Independent language schools, though often more expensive than university-based courses, afford students across all linguistic levels the opportunity to take part in a study abroad program. From long-stay programs to certification (认证) courses, travelers may undertake specialized classes based on their individual language needs.

Private instruction

Private instruction offers the most flexibility to travelers looking to combine education with fun, with classes offered alongside additional studies. Private instruction in Puerto Rico won’t break the bank, costing as little as $15 per hour!

Planning your trip

Requirements

There are no passports or visas necessary for United States citizens. However, for citizens of other countries, requirements are the same as those for entering the U. S. A 90-day “visitor” visa is available, although students traveling for cultural exchange purposes, such as university study or temporary work, must apply for specialized visas.

Costs of living in Puerto Rico

Puerto Rico is good place for travelers who are worried about spending too much. Generally, you can find a meal for $12, take public transportation for $1.50 one-way, and pay $650 is rent each month for a one-bedroom apartment in the city center.

22、When Taking an Uber-Should You Tip or Not?

Taking an Uber car may no longer be a direct driver-passenger and guilt-free experience. The ride-sharing experience is about to get awkward.

With the wide application of the Internet, Uber, a new approach to your destination instead of taking an ordinary taxi, has become more popular recently. However, benefits won’t come without its fair share of drawbacks.

Uber drivers are a part of the so-called sharing economy: They use their own vehicles, receive customer reviews via the app’s five-star rating system and make their own hours. Unlike other services, Uber claimed that drivers all over the country could clearly alert customers that tipping is not included. Those drivers that expect to be tipped can make their wishes known. But the company is holding to its official no-tip-required line, according to its website. “Once you arrive at your destination, your fare is automatically charged to your credit card on file—There’s no need to tip.” Although drivers value their independence—the freedom to push a button rather than punch a clock, lack of a clear policy, however, leaves Uber drivers in a vulnerable(脆弱的) position: If they ask a customer for a tip or put up a sign, that customer could give the driver a low star-rating, and the driver could finally be deactivated from the app.

But has the company done a good job working with customers? Some observers say that this new grey area for tipping will create awkwardness about whether they should tip or not—something most Uber customers have not had to deal with until now. Uber did not respond to customers’ comment, just leaving their rating in the air（ignoring it）.

Providing an option to tip on an app sends a clear message to customers to reach into their pockets. Nearly 30% people would be more likely to leave a tip if they were presented with a “no tip” button, according to Guinn’s 2015 survey of roughly 500 people. When people are presented with three tip choices—20%, 25% or 30%—they’re more likely to choose the middle option even if it’s more than the traditional 20%, according to a separate 2014 analysis of 13 million New York City taxi rides.

If the service is twice as expensive during a rain storm or public transport delay, the customer has the right not to tip. However, if the driver is extra helpful or avoids traffic to reach your destination in a more timely manner, you could give an extra tip, says Uber, who will leave tipping options in the hands of the consumer rather than the app.

【1】 Compared with taxi drivers, Uber drivers ______.

A. enjoy more freedom and choices

B. support the company’s practice

C. clock up the miles while driving

D. receive customers reviews directly

【2】The underlined word “deactivated” in Paragraph 4 probably means ______.

A. removed B. degraded   C. tracked D. charged

【3】From the survey we can conclude most customers ______.

A. would probably tip if there is an option

B. usually do as the “no tip” sign suggests

C. tip because of Uber drivers’ good service

D. are disappointed to reach into their pockets

【4】What causes the awkwardness between Uber drivers and their customers?

A. Customers take advantage of the new grey area for tipping.

B. There is no specific policy from the Uber to follow.

C. It’s up to customers to decide the drivers’ earnings.

D. Customers tend to pay least among the 3 choices.

23、The African elephant, the largest land animal remaining on earth, is of great importance to African ecosystem (生态系统). Unlike other animals, the African elephant is to a great extent the builder of its environment. As a big plant-eater, it largely shapes the forest-and-savanna (大草原) surroundings in which it lives, therefore setting the terms of existence for millions of other animals that live in its habitat (栖息地).

It is the elephant’s great desire for food that makes it a disturber of the environment and an important builder of its habitat. In its continuous search for the 300 pounds of plants it must have every day, it kills small trees and underbushes, and pulls branches off big trees. This results in numerous open spaces in both deep tropical forests and in the woodlands that cover part of the African savannas. In these open spaces are numerous plants in various stages of growth that attract a variety of other plant-eaters.

Take the rain forests for example. In their natural state, the spreading branches overhead shut out sunlight and prevent the growth of plants on the forest floor. By pulling down trees and eating plants, elephants make open spaces, allowing new plants to grow on the forest floor. In such situations, the forests become suitable for large hoofed plant-eaters to move around and for small plant-eaters to get their food as well.

What worries scientists now is that the African elephant has become an endangered species. If the elephant disappears, scientists say, many other animals will also disappear from vast areas of forest and savanna, greatly changing and worsening the whole ecosystem.

【1】What is the passage mainly about?

A．Disappearance of African elephants.

B．Forests and savannas as habitats for African elephants.

C．The effect of African elephants’ search for food.

D．The eating habit of African elephants.

【2】What does the underlined phrase “setting the terms” most probably mean?

A．Fixing the time.

B．Worsening the state.

C．Improving the quality.

D．Deciding the conditions.

【3】What do we know about the open spaces in the passage?

A．They result from the destruction of rain forests.

B．They provide food mainly for African elephants.

C．They are home to many endangered animals.

D．They are attractive to plant-eating animals of different kinds.

【4】The passage is developed mainly by______.

A．showing the effect and then explaining the causes

B．pointing out similarities and differences

C．describing the changes in spare order

D．giving examples

24、Modern inventions have speeded up people’s loves amazingly. Motor-cars cover a hundred miles in little more than an hour, aircraft cross the world inside a day, while computers operate at lightning speed. Indeed, this love of speed seems never-ending. Every year motor-cars are produced which go even faster and each new computer boats (吹嘘) of saving precious seconds in handling tasks.

All this saves time, but at a price. When we lose or gain half a day in speeding across the world in an airplane, our bodies tell us so. We get the uncomfortable feeling known as jet-lag; our bodies feel that they have been left behind on another time zone. Again, spending too long at computers results in painful wrists and fingers. Mobile phones also have their dangers, according to some scientist; too much use may transmit harmful radiation into our brains, a consequence we do not like to think about.

However, what do we do with the time we have saved? Certainly not relax, or so it seems. We are so accustomed constant activity that we find it difficult to sit and do nothing or even just one thing at a time. Perhaps the days are long gone when we might listen quietly to a story on the radio, letting imagination take us into another world.

There was a time when some people’s lives were devoted simply to the cultivation of the land or the care of cattle. No multi-tasking there; their lives went on at a much gentler pace, and in a familiar pattern. There is much that we might envy about a way of life like this. Yet before we do so, we must think of the hard tasks our ancestor faced: they farmed with bare hands, often lived close to hunger, and had to fashion tools from wood and stone. Modern machinery has freed people from that primitive existence.

【1】The new products become more and more time-saving because   .

A. our love of speed seems never-ending

B. time is limited

C. the prices are increasingly high

D. the manufactures boast a lot

【2】What does ＂the days＂ in Paragraph 3 refer to ?

A. Imaginary life.   B. Simple life in the past.

C. Times of inventions.   D. Time for constant activity.

【3】What is the author’s attitude towards the modern technology?

A. Critical   B. Objective.

C. Optimistic.   D. Negative.

【4】What does the passage mainly discuss?

A. The present and past times.

B. Machinery and human beings.

C. Imaginations and inventions.

D. Modern technology and its influence.

The process went on and on. Finally, the woman turned back to us as she left, embarrassed and ________. We waved off her chagrin (懊恼). It could happen to anyone. We were ________ sympathetic.
