A
If you truly want to live, you need to get out and see the world. Traveling and living different adventures may become your favorite lifestyle. Here is a brief introduction about the top three destinations to visit in the world. Paris
First on the list is Paris, France. For some people, this shouldn’t be a surprise. For others, they might consider Paris overrated as it has a reputation for being dirty. Any major city in the world might be thought to be dirty by anyone not living in a city. It comes with the territory. The reason Paris is at the top of this list is not because of its famous attractions but because of its charm. You can spend the day walking around cobblestone streets and enjoy elegant cafes and high-end shopping. When you finish satisfying your appetite, you can relax on the banks of the Seine River.
Glacier National Park
Glacier National Park comes in second on the list. It is located in Montana, America. It will be well worth the effort thanks to snow-capped mountains, crystal blue lakes, seventy miles of hiking trails, and thirteen camping areas. If you visit during the summer, you can go swimming or white-water rafting. If you visit during the winter, you can go skiing or snowshoeing. But the real allure (诱惑力) and what you will always remember is the breathtaking scenery and fresh mountain air.
Bora Bora
The reason Bora Bora is the third on this list is that it’s expensive, which could limit your other travel plans. If you do make it to this small island paradise, you will find peaceful beaches, jungles, luxury accommodations, turquoise water, and some of the friendliest people you have ever met.
Other vacation destinations that should be on your list if you’re living the adventurous lifestyle include London, the South Island of New Zealand, Maui, Tahiti, Tokyo, Barcelona and New York City.
1. Tourists can ______ to appreciate the charm of Paris.
A. enjoy crystal blue lakes
B. visit its famous attractions
C. take a walk around cobblestone streets
D. meet the friendliest people you have ever met
2. Which of the following points in Glacier National Park will really attract tourists?
A. peaceful beaches.
B. White-water rafting.
C. Snow-capped mountains.
D. Fresh mountain air.
3. What’s the purpose of this passage?
A. to introduce the top three destinations.
B. to compare the top three destinations.
C. to encourage people to live an adventurous lifestyle.
D. to analyze the good and bad points of the three destinations
B
For centuries , tea has been used for far more than quenching thirst. Around the world people drink it to relax, reinvigorate and relieve, and it's something we need now more than ever.
Even in the United States, a long coffee-dominated country, tea drinking is growing in popularity, with the country consuming 0.4 kilograms (14 ounces) of tea leaves per person a year compared with 0. 36 kilograms(12. 7 ounces) in 2007 according to the United Nations, as people switch away from soda，milk and fruit drinks.
Scientists are beginning to look into just how tea might affect mood and cognition. Specifically, they're investigating whether its relaxing and refreshing effects are a direct biological outcome of the compounds in tea or whetherthey come from the context in which the drink is consumed—preparing your tea, choosing your favorite cup and sitting down for a brief break from the world. Or both.
Drinking green tea has been found to improve brain function in healthy people, said Stefan Borgward, chair and director of the department of psychiatry and psychotherapy at the University of Lubeck, Germany.
In a 2014 study, he gave one or two cups of green tea to 12 healthy volunteers and imaged their brains to analyze changes in connectivity inside certain brain regions.
“We noticed an increased connectivity in regions of the brain associated with working memory,” he said via email.
And a 2017 review of more than 100 studies he coauthored found that green tea can impact the brain in three ways: It can influence psychopathological state such as reducing anxiety; cognition by benefiting memory and attention; and brain function, specifically memory.
That review concluded that "it would be desirable" for more Westerners to consume at least 100 milliliters(3.3 fluid ounces) of green tea each day “to protect neurocognitive function.”
However, Borgward, cautioned that the effects aren't large, and the evidence is mainly provided by small-scale studies.
4. How does the author introduce the tendency of drinking in the U.S.?
A. By showing examples.
B. By explaining reasons.
C. By making a comparison.
D. By checking existing facts.
5. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. Scientists are looking into why tea makes people relaxed and refreshed.
B. The context in which the drink is consumed is very important.
C. People's relaxation is the direct biological outcome of the ingredients in tea.
D. Preparing tea, choosing a cup and sitting down for a brief rest is amazing.
6. What can we conclude from Stefan's research?
A. Tea is a cure for a neurocognitive disease.
B. Green tea is particularly beneficial to our memory.
C. Drinking tea every day can prevent us from getting ill.
D. Westerners drink less than 100 milliliters of green tea.
7. What is the researcher'sattitude towards the finding?
A. Supportive
B. Doubtful.
C. Unclear.
D. Objective.
C
Ten years ago, I set out to examine luck. I wanted to know why some people were always in the right place at the right time, while others consistently experienced ill fortune. I placed advertisements in national newspapers asking for people who felt consistently lucky or unlucky. Hundreds of extraordinary men and women volunteered for my research. Over the years I have interviewed them, monitored their lives and had them take part in various experiments.
In one of the experiments, I gave both lucky and unlucky people a newspaper, asking them to look through it and tell me how many photographs were inside. I had secretly placed a large message halfway through the newspaper, saying, “Tell the experimenter you have seen this and you will win $50.” This message took up half of the page and was written in type that was more than two inches high. It was staring everyone in the face, but the unlucky people tended to miss it and the lucky people tended to spot it.
Unlucky people are generally more nervous than lucky people, and this anxiety affects their ability to notice the unexpected. As a result, they miss opportunities because they are too focused on looking for something else. They go to gatherings concentrating on finding their perfect partners and miss opportunities to make good friends. They look through newspapers determined to find certain types of job advertisements and miss other types of jobs.
Lucky people are more relaxed and open, and therefore see what is there rather than just what they are looking for. My research eventually showed that lucky people are skilled at noticing opportunities, make lucky decisions by listening to their intuition (直觉), are open to new experiences, and adopt a never-say-die attitude that transforms bad luck into good luck.
8. What’s the purpose of the author’s research?
A. To discover what luck means to people.
B. To find lucky people and unlucky people.
C. To distinguish between good luck and bad luck.
D. To figure out why people are always lucky or unlucky.
9. Why did the unlucky people miss the message in the experiment?
A. There was too much information to be read in detail.
B. They were too focused on looking for photographs.
C. It took too much time to go through newspapers.
D. The words were too small to be noticed.
10. What leads to lucky people’s good fortune?
A. Their ability to spot opportunities.
B. Their ability to become relaxed.
C. Their ability to communicate.
D. Their ability to make friends.
11. What’s the key message of the last paragraph?
A. What lucky people are looking for.
B. How lucky people generate good luck.
C. What lucky people can do with opportunities.
D How lucky people transform bad luck into good luck.
D
I waschecking out at the supermarket counter on Wednesday night, ready to pay for my bananas, when all of
a sudden, fear came upon me. My wallet was gone. And I could only have left it one place: the G9 bus, from which
I had gotten off minutes earlier and which was now speeding to some stops. The moment of realizing it was gone was followed by mental math. How much time and money would it cost to replace the credit cards, the driver's license, the expensive lipstick ($ 55!).
Two hours after I was back at my house, I heard a knock on the door. My husband answered while I sat in the dining room on the phone with a credit card company. "Does Jennifer live here?" I heard someone say. In her hand was my wallet, without a penny missing. She left before I could offer my gratitude to her.
After I posted the story, I heard from her boyfriend, who identified the good citizen as Erin Ball, a 26-year-old girl working for a trade organization.
Once I figured out her, I called to thank her. She said she spotted my wallet and thought that it's more dangerous to go to a stranger's house than leaving the wallet with the driver, but she still decided to take the chance. "If I were in that situation, I would want someone to try to find me," she said. Ball doesn't find her actions particularly excellent. She added, "It's not hard to do small things for people."
After Ball found my wallet, she decided to post a picture of my driver's license online before going to my house, trying to see if anyone knew me. No sooner had she left my doorstep than I got emails from two neighbors who recognized my face, both offering to help me find my missing property.
Ball found my house on a bitterly cold night,for which I was extremely grateful. Looking back, I'm not surprised someone had wanted to help a stranger. A warm current of honesty and harmony is running through this town.
12. What do we know about the author according to paragraph 1?
A. She missed the G9 bus.
B. She paid for her bananas.
C. She replaced the credit cards.
D. She found she had left her wallet on the bus.
13. Who helped the author find Ball?
A. The G9 driver.
B. The girl's boyfriend.
C. The author's neighbors.
D. The author's husband.
14. What did Ball do first after finding the wallet?
A. Ball called the author.
B. Ball went to the author's house.
C. Ball gave the wallet to the bus driver.
D. Ball posted a photo of the author's driving license.
15. Which of the following best describes Erin Ball?
A. Humorous and kind.
B. Generous and demanding.
C. Honest and warm-hearted.
D. Caring and outgoing.

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

选项中有两项为多余选项Everybody yawns (打哈欠) – from unborn babies to great-grandparents. But why, exactly, do we yawn?_____16_____.
One theory (理论) is that when we are bored or tired, we just don’t breathe as deeply as we usually do. _____17_____.Therefore, yawning helps us bring more oxygen into the blood and move more carbon dioxide out of the blood.
Yawning, then, would be an action that we can’t really control to help us control our oxygen and carbon dioxide levels. Sounds good, but other studies have shown that breathing more oxygen does not make us yawn less. _____18_____. Hmmm. Now what?
_____19_____. Stretching (拉伸) and yawning may be a way to relax muscles and joints, increase heart rate, and feel more awake.
Other people believe that yawning is a protective way to redistribute (重新分配) the oil-like substance called surfactant that helps keep lungs from drying up.So, if we didn’t yawn, according to this theory, taking a deep breath would become harder and harder – and that would not be good!
But there is one idea about yawning that everyone knows to be true:_____20_____. If you yawn in class, you’ll probably notice a few other people will start yawning, too. Even thinking about yawning can get you yawning. How many times have you yawned while reading this article? We hope not many!
A.It seems to spread
B.Yawning seems to be common
C.No one knows for sure, but there are many theories
D.Another theory is that yawning stretches the lung and lung tissue
E.This theory indicates yawning, like a deep breath, helps us feel fresh
F.Likewise, breathing more carbon dioxide does not increase yawning
G.As this theory goes, our bodies take in less oxygen because our breathing has slowed
