Lanzarote

Lanzarote is a dream in spring. It’s the hottest of the Canary Islands, with average temperatures of 19°C, so you can comfortably hit its beaches.

Spring is an ideal time to visit Portugal. You may have the odd drop of rain, but the average temperatures make up for it, between 10°C and 22°C! It’s a proper time to hike or bike the trails along the Via Algarviana, and venture into the many nature parks with cherry tree blossom. If you’re a football lover then you can enjoy the drama of the final leg of the Portuguese League in May, or you could visit the Iberian Mask Festival in Lisbon, where you’ll find a celebration of local music and handicrafts.

Santorini

While there are occasional rainy spells, you’ll often find the sun gloriously shining during the spring months of Santorini. Most of the hotels open by April, and the streets pop with inviting blooms. It’s a romantic, tranquil time to visit.

The 1/3 off train tickets can go a long way in helping you save, ideal for travelling to work, university or college. Whether you have an early morning lecture or you’re rolling home in the early hours after a night out, you can still get 1/3 off on all passenger rail services within the UK!

23、In order to get rid of goldenrod from the city, the government of Wuhan is encouraging residents to report any findings of the plant, which is classified as a harmful alien species.

Goldenrod is one of the most successful and widespread alien plant species. It is often referred to as “the flower of the devil”, as it spreads extremely fast and causes other plants to die.

Besides Hubei province, the plant has also been found expanding in other provinces such as Jiangxi and Zhejiang. Although local authorities have tried to get rid of the plant, it is proving to be a difficult task. Goldenrod represents just one of the alien species that are aggressive towards the country’s native species. Statistics show that by 2020, nearly 800 kinds of alien species had invaded the country, among which 638 species have invaded the country’s agricultural and forestry ecosystems, causing direct economic losses of about 200 billion yuan ($ 31.36 billion).

At the United Nations Biodiversity Conference held in Kunming, Yunnan province, the invasion of alien species was the subject of discussions, as it was regarded as one of the two most important factors leading to the loss of biodiversity, the other being human-caused ecological damage.

China passed its Biosecurity Law on April 15, 2021, which provides the legal basis for preventing the invasion of alien species and protecting biodiversity in the country. The relevant departments also strictly carry out port inspections and quarantines (检疫) so as to keep harmful organisms out of the country, and they strengthen early warning and monitoring systems so as to address the invasion as early as possible.

However, while government departments are making every effort to prevent and control the situation, the participation of the people should not be ignored. It is also necessary, as Wuhan is doing, to encourage people to pay attention to invasive species and actively play a role in keeping them at bay. Preventing any invasion by an alien species and protecting biodiversity should not just be the government departments fighting alone, but also a people’s war.

【1】Why does the author present thestatistics in paragraph 3?

A．To make the passage more persuasive.

B．To highlight how serious the issue is.

C．To explain the reason for the invasion of the country.

D．To show the influence of Goldenrod on the ecosystem.

【2】What’s the main idea of Paragraph 5?

A．China’s efforts to stop the invasion of alien species.

B．Relevant departments’ warning of goldenrod.

C．The legal basis to protect biodiversity.

D．The importance of port inspections and quarantines.

【3】What does the author think should be done with harmful alien species?

A．Building some barriers for the species.

B．Preventing the flowers from growing too fast.

C．Keeping the alien species safe at the port.

D．Both the government and individuals should resist the invasion of alien species.

【4】Where can this text probably be found？

A．In a biology magazine.

B．In a science fiction.

C．In a sports newspaper.

D．In a history book.

24、There are many ways to travel within a city. We can walk, cycle, or take a bus. But no matter which way we travel, we have to follow the route (线路) the city planners laid down for us.

Parkour practitioners (跑酷爱好者), however, see the city in a completely different way. To them, there are no designed routes. There are no walls and no stairs — they jump, climb, roll and crawl to move across, through, over and under anything that they find in their path. The city is their playground.

The International Gymnastics Federation (FIG) has noticed that this activity is drawing more and more people to it — there are 100, 000 people taking part in parkour today in the UK alone, according to The Guardian — and how it is helpful for people to be much stronger: It trains coordination and balance. So the FIG is thinking about recognizing parkour as a new sport and adding it to the Olympics by 2024.

But parkour practitioners themselves don’t seem to be happy with the idea. They see parkour as “a lifestyle”, wrote the website NextSportStar. “It’s a competition against the conditions rather than just a sport.”

Indeed, many do parkour just to “escape the daily routine and experience the city in different ways”, wrote reporter Oli Mould on The Conversation. They see parkour as a way to express themselves through relaxing moves and creative routes while freeing themselves from the pressure.

It’s great that the FIG wants to develop a new sport and stay close to a new cultural form. But it would be greater if they knew that not everything in life is a competition.

【1】How do the parkour practitioners do parkour?

A．They plan the way themselves.

B．They move on as they wish.

C．They run faster than others.

D．They follow certain routes.

【2】Why does the FIG want to add parkour to the Olympics?

A．It’s a special way of life.

B．It draws their attention.

C．It helps balance people’s life.

D．It’s good for people to keep healthy.

【3】What is the author’s idea on parkour?

A．It is more exciting than other sports.

B．It is worth adding to the sporting event.

C．It is more a lifestyle than a competition.

D．It encourages people to challenge themselves.

【4】What is the best title for the passage?

A．Parkour practitioners

B．Making the city their own

C．Training in a different way

D．A new sports competition

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

The day I met Hani Irmawati, she was a shy, 17-year-old girl standing alone in the parking lot of the international school in Indonesia, where I teach English. She asked if I could help her improve her English. I could tell it took lots of courage for the young Indonesian girl to ask for help. “I want to go to a US university,” she said with confidence. I was surprised.

I agreed to work with her on a volunteer basis. For several months, Hani woke each morning at five and caught the city bus to her public high school. During the ride, she studied for her regular classes and the English assignments I had given her. At four o’clock in the afternoon, she arrived at my classroom, exhausted but ready to work.

Hani lived in a two-room house with her parents and two brothers. When I met them at their house, I realized they would never be able to afford the expenses of a US university. Not only does it require lots of files to submit, including the language test scores and CV (简历). The most important part is the money that will cost.

Hani’s enthusiasm (热情) was increasing with her language ability, but I was becoming more and more discouraged.

One day I received the announcement of a scholarship (奖学金) opportunity for a major US university. After reading the requirements, I knew Hani couldn’t meet the qualifications. Because this is a Test of English Fluency in Jakarta. The entire test would be an huge challenge for someone who had never touched a computer before. I told her that there was only a small chance of her getting the scholarship and encouraged her to be more“realistic" about her dream. But she remained determined.“Will you send in my name?" she asked.
