However -almost 350 bird species and around 220 butterfly species can be found within its 331-square-kilometer expanse.

22、The past few years found me working long hours at my marketing job while my husband, Steven,put in equally fall days as a physics tutor.The weekends were spent photographing weddings and portraits.While we were able to save some money,we were both burned out from the constant tiring work.

We felt the need for both renewal and vacation experiences.So,in January,we set out on a seven-month,cross-country road trip to visit all 61 National Parks in the United States.

Steven was ready to dive headlong into the unknown,while I,someone who enjoys more planned fun,had to adapt.I was amazed at how easily I turned to be a more relaxed version who wasn't worried where to park or sleep.We both became so accustomed to sleeping in the van,despite the foreign sound outside,which we eventually let fade into white noise.

Over the course of our seven-month trip,several interruptions changed our route, including the government shutdown,which left the first 10 parks inaccessible. Another time,I fell ill and lost my voice right as we were heading to the Virgin Islands National Park.

Positively,while we've done photography professionally for years.this trip really helped us grow in our craft.From rapidly trying to shoot dolphins to lining up panoramic(全景的））shots,this trip was a photographer's dream.I never dared out into complete darkness to photograph nights capes,but the views of the Milky Way we managed to shoot were well worth it.

One of our big goals on this trip was to come away from each park with one spectacular image,something that pushed us both to become better artists in the process.That shared goal placed us on the same team:It brought us together,gave us more to talk about,and encouraged us to motivate each other along the way.

【1】Why did the couple take such a trip?

A．They were both out of work.

B．They needed some photos of parks.

C．They wanted a getaway from exhausting work.

D．They wanted to make money by photographing.

C．She enjoyed his husband's way of travel.

D．She had several fights with her husband.

【3】What failed them to visit the first 10 parks?

A．Bad sleep in the van.

B．The author's illness.

C．The change of route.

D．The government shutdown.

【4】What have the couple gained from the trip?

A．They've caught some dolphins.

B．They've became famous artists.

C．They've bettered their relationship.

D．They've got their professional photographer certificates.

23、   There are so many choices when you go shopping. You have to check the sell — by dates so that you know how long you can store and use the food you are purchasing.

But do you know that the best sell — by dates on food packaging don't really tell you if the food is safe to eat. The food may not last as long as it says if it isn't stored correctly at any point of the distribution chain. Now there is food packaging that can detect and change colors if the food has gone bad.

Each American wastes 103 pounds of spoiled food out of the refrigerator every year. The new smart packaging from Primitives Biodesign—a new company that operates out of a lab at Indibio, a biotech accelerator in San Francisco-can help to reduce this huge waste of food.

The basic material that doesn't contain sensing material is made from algae and can block oxygen more effectively than regular film, so the food stays fresher for a longer time. Since it is made from a natural substance, it can also break down in nature.

Making the film smart is the thorny part. Luckily, the team managed to use a process that is like the way nature responds to changes in the environment. The mechanism responds like the way flowers emit compounds to change colors.

“It could be supplement packaging that indicate when it's been tampered with by changing color to tell you that it's no ledger safe," says Kan. She explained that the new packaging can be used on food products to fell if the food has turned bad before someone has to smell or taste it.

The company has proven in lab tests that the technology works and now they are working on how to develop commercial uses for it. The added safety features will come out later. Helping to control food waste in products like meat or cheese which have high greenhouse gas emissions will also help to reduce climate change.

【1】What can we infer from paragraph 2?

A．Storing food properly is very important.

B．The color of food packaging is not clear.

C．Regular food packaging is of little value.

D．It's not hard to control distribution chains.

【2】What does the word “thorny” underlined in paragraph 5 probably mean?

A．Changeable.

B．Interesting.

C．Natural.

D．Difficult.

【3】What can we say about the new food packaging?

A．It is too thin to block oxygen.

B．It is really good for the environment.

C．It is perfect for commercial uses.

D．It is sensitive to pleasant smells.

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

A．Smart Packaging Tells If Food Is Safe to Eat

B．Sensing Materials Indicate the Color of Food

C．A Great Team Is Concerned With Food Safety

D．Old Packaging Slows Down Climate Change
