AThe world’s 4 best spots for wild swimmingEco-Arqueological Park, Chichen Itza, MexicoVines surrounding around the pool, pure blue water and schools of friendly catfish all combine to give Ik Kil Cenote in Chichen Itza a supernatural quality. “This place offers a swim like you’re on another planet, ”says TripAdvisor user David T from Anaheim, Southern California. “Dive into the water like it’s your last swim in paradise. You won’t find another like it.Grotta della Poesia, Roca Vecchia, Italy“You have to see this place to believe it—when I first saw the pictures I wasn’t sure it was real!”says TripAdvisor user Chaitdesh from London. The Grotta della Poesia is in Roca Vecchia. Sitting on the Adriatic coast, the grotto is made up of two turquoise(绿松石)and blue karst sinkholes. “When I arrived at the natural pool my breath was taken away by its beauty, ”says Joan R from New York City.Las Grietas, Puerto Ayora, EcuadorThere’s the ocean water pool Las Grietas, positioned between two tall cliffs on the central island of Santa Cruz.“It was the most amazing experience I had ever had,” says user Belepv from Buenos Aires. “We could dive here and see the coral reef.” Belepv offers a tip:”Even if you can’t swim, you can ask for a life vest. ”Visitors have to take a boat ride from the main dock on Santa Cruz to get to the creek. Veterans suggest bringing your own snorkeling(浮潜)gear, but you can also rent equipment in Puerto Ayora.Blue Lagoon, Grindavik, IcelandIt’s obvious why the Blue Lagoon is a hit in chilly Iceland. This naturally heated geothermal pool has a constant temperature of 40℃. Even better, you don’t have to leave the water to get a drink at the Lagoon’s outdoor bar. Ryan B from Atlanta agrees, “Drinking beer in a geothermal spa? YES!”And Rachel Raven from Quincy describes the experience as “like bathing on the moon”.21. From the passage, we can know that .A. the Blue Lagoon is very popular in chilly IcelandB. the Grotta della Poesia consists of two sinkholesC. catfish swim individually in Ik Kil Cenote in Chichen ItzaD. the ocean water pool Roca Vecchia is a naturally heated geothermal pool22.

Visitors need to get to the creek by boat.D. Life vests are necessary for all people diving here.BWhen I moved to Rome from Washington D. C., one sight struck me more than any ancient column or grand basilica: people doing nothing. I’d frequently glimpse old women leaning out of their windows, watching people pass below, or families on their evening strolls, stopping every so often to greet friends. Even office life proved different. Forget the rushed desk-side sandwich. Come lunchtime, restaurants filled up with professionals tucking into proper meals.As we fill our days with more and more ‘doing’，many of us are finding that non-stop activity isn’t the apotheosis(神话)of productivity. It is its adversary. One meta-analysis found that long working hours increased the risk of heart disease by 40%-—almost as much as smoking (50%). Another found that people who worked long hours had a significantly higher risk of stroke, while people who worked more than 11hours a day were almost 2. 5 times more likely to have a major depressive episode than those who worked seven to eight. In Japan, this has led to the disturbing trend of karoshi, or death by overwork. Whether it’s walking away from your desk for 15 minutes or logging out of your inbox for the night, part of our struggle is control the fear that if we relax a grip for a moment, everything will come crashing down. That’s all wrong, says poet, and life coach Janne Robinson. “The metaphor I like to use is of a fire. We start a business, and then after a year, it’s like, when can we take a week off, or hire someone to come in? Most of us don’t trust anyone to come in for us. We’re like, ‘The fire will go out’,”she says. “What if we just trusted that those embers(余火) are so hot, we can walk away, someone can throw a log on and it’ll burst into flames?”That isn’t easy for those of us who feel like we have to constantly‘do’. But in order to do more, it seems, we may have to become comfortable with doing less.24. What impressed the writer most after moving to Rome?A. The ancient column and grand basilica.B. People’s relaxing lifestyle.C. People’s hurried lunchtime.D. The ways to greet friends.25. Janne Robinson uses the metaphor to tell us that we need to .A. take time outB. do nothingC. take quick actionD. hold on26. According to the article, .A. in most cases, more hard work means more productivityB. after Janne Robinson started a business, she hired someone to take it overC. walking away from desks for 15 minutes is impossible for busy business peopleD. long working hours may increase health risk27. Which of the following would be the best title of the passage?A. Devote yourself more to workB. Quit work for longer lifeC. Work a lot less!D. Achieve a high productivityCOnce a thief, always a thief?—Washington Post, November, 21st, 2017. Martha Stewart was charged, tried and convicted(定罪)of a crime in 2004. As she came nearer to the end of her prison sentence, a well-known columnist wrote that she was “paying off her crime”and that “there is simply no reason for anyone to attempt to deny her right to start a new life”.Surely, the American ideal of second chances should not only belong to the rich and powerful. Unfortunately, many laws set post-conviction restrictions on a shockingly large number of Americans, who are prevented from ever fully paying their debt to society.At least 65 million people in the United States have a criminal record. This can result in severe punishments that continue long after the sentence is completed. Many of these punishments are set regardless of the seriousness of thecrime. Laws can restrict or-ban voting, obtaining public housing, and getting business licenses. They can affect a person’s ability to get a job and qualification for benefits.In all, more than 45,000 laws and rules serve to stop vast numbers of people from fully participating in American life. Therefore, these law are also counterproductive, since they make it harder for people with criminal records to find housing or land a job, two key factors that reduce backsliding(重蹈覆辙). A recent report makes several recommendations, including the cancel of most post-conviction punishments, except for those specifically needed to protect public safety.The point is not to excuse or forget the crime. Rather, it is to recognize that in America’s vast criminal law system, second chances are important. It is in no one’s interest to keep a large number of the population on the edge of society.28. As for the example of Martha Stewart, the well-known columnist’s remark suggested that .A. the public think it wrong to release Martha StewartB. Martha Stewart went on making big money while in prisonC. Martha Stewart’s past record might stand in her way to a new lifeD. the lawyers recommended a longer prison sentence to Martha Stewart29. What do we learn from the second paragraph about many criminals in American ?A. They commit more serious crimes after leaving the prison.B. They live freely and happily after the prison sentence.C. They receive severe punishments for committing small crimes.D. They got fewer chances to turn over a new leaf.30. The closest explanation of the underlined word “counterproductive”in Paragraph 4 is“.”A. enlarging the numberB. booming the riseC. having the opposite effectD. making a response31. The author wrote this news to .A. create opportunities for criminals to reform themselvesB. call people’s attention to prisoners’ conditions in AmericaC. reduce the criminal rate in AmericaD. demand changes in America’s criminal law systemDWhat are the differences between human life and animals life? Group life is an outstanding feature of human life. What influences human life is that man lives in groups. He is the product of a group (mother and father); he is raised by a group (family or family substitute <替代> ); and he spends all his life interacting with and within groups of various kinds.There are two types of groups where human life goes on. The type of group most important to man is one in which the members are personally involved with each other on both an emotional and physical level, in which relations are carried on by informal ways, and in which these relations are stable. Such a group is known as a primary group, and its best example is the family.In small, non-technological societies, with members ranked on a more or less equal base on wealth and status, such a society is referred to as a communal(共同的)society.In large, technologically advanced, competitive societies, where different kinds of labor are practiced, and where the wealth and status are not equal among members, it becomes necessary for one person to expand their interaction to secondary group. Members of a secondary group do not tend to be emotionally involved with each other. Relations are mostly formal since the members come together for a temporary reason. Teacher and student, seller and buyer, doctor and patient are examples of secondary groups.Because of the nature of life in technologically advanced societies, man has had to rely increasingly on secondary group relationships. In the meantime, some of his primary group life has been gradually disappearing. The extended family, which was still typical in American life at the turn of the century, consisted of grandparents, unmarried aunts and uncles, and various other relatives who lived either under the same roof or in the same community, and gave mutual aid and comfort to each other.Today’s family, however, is reduced to the nuclear (核心的)father, mother, and children. Visits to grandparents and relatives are impossible. The supportive role which the extended family played has not been replaced by relationships within the secondary group.32. Members in a primary group tend to .A. communicate with each other in informal waysB. pass religious belief to other generationsC. be quite formal to each other on certain occasionsD. keep a casual relationship with other people33. In a communal society, members .A. usually show no interest in new technologyB. value their family status rather than the social oneC. adapt the standard of a family to the whole societyD. enjoy relatively equal relations with others34. In comparison with a communal society, in a secondary society.A. people stress formal relations for a temporary reasonB. people with skills are highly admiredC. high advanced technology is uselessD. people enjoy wide relations with strangers35. According to the author, in a nuclear family, .A. family members are indifferent to each otherB. a close tie with other family members declinesC. grandparents no longer love their grandchildrenD. the primary family relation is between father and son第二节(共5小题;每小题2 分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。
