AThe Terracotta Army Museum is one of the must-visit attractions for all travelers to China. The attraction is located in Xi'an, in west China's Shanxi Province.What's special?The terracotta Army is the buried army of Qin Shi Huang, an ancient Chinese emperor. These ancient sculptures were built and buried over two thousand years ago near the city of Xi'an. They were discovered in 1974 by farmers digging a well looking for underground water. Over a thousand terracotta warriors and horses have been uncovered since then. Each warrior is made of clay (泥土). They are around two meters tall. The sculptures are so detailed that it is possible toguess the age, rank and personality of each one. None of the soldiers are the same.The best time to visitThe Terracotta Army is an indoor attraction, which is not likely to be affected by weather, so it can be visited all year round.As the Terracotta Army Museum is one of the must-visit attractions in China, it is crowded most of the time. We advise our customers to avoid the following periods when the museum is particularly crowded:●National Day holiday(October 1-7), when it is fully packed.●Labour Day holiday(May 1-3)Weather in winter is dry, cold and the least comfortable, and it's also the worst season for air quality, but it's also low season.Travel style: private, group or independent?A private tour means a lo of flexibility and you will be well taken care of by a private guide and driver. The museum is crowded most of the time, but our guides know how to escape the crowds, and help our customers to enjoy more in the museum. See our 3-Day Terracotta Warriors Private Tour.Going with a group you won't get lost, but i lacks flexibility and personal service.Travelling on your own you may meet a lot of trouble, such as wasting time on finding a taxi or public bus to the attraction, lining up for tickets, reading maps, making sense of Chinese signs, etc.21.

Surrounded by working farms, he quickly became interested in the grow-it-yourself idea and rented a piece of 30-by-30-foot land. He planted tomatoes, eggplants and other vegetable—enough to feed his family of four for the summer. He ended up with so much produce; he couldn't give it away. He found a local food factory and donated 120 pounds of fresh vegetables.The following year, with a handful of volunteers and a memorable name—America's Grow-a-Row, Paillex harvested 1, 500 pounds of fresh vegetables, all of which he donated to area food banks--places that give food to poor people. Soon Paillex had a hundred volunteers and needed more land. He visited Meredith and Jeremy Compton, who farm Peaceful Valley Orchards in Pittstown. Could he work their land?“I guess we were feeling honored, " says Meredith. Not only do the Comptons welcome Grow-a-Row volunteers, they also work on the land.What began with a few empty fields has turned into a large local farm. This year, Grow-a-Row will deliver about 250, 000 pounds of fresh produce to food banks. Their secret for getting all of this done? Family power. " Each week, a couple of families ‘own' the garden, " says Paillex." They water, pick, and deliver, and then hand it off on Sunday night to the next group of families."Paillex also welcomed local school kids. On a Friday morning in May, some kids worked on a field. "We' re growing food, " one fifth grader said proudly."The program shows kids that there are people in need, " says Paillex. “When these kids become tomorrow's leaders, they'll be much more likely to encourage their co-workers or employees to get involved in something like this. “"Chip makes people want to help, " says Colleen Duerr, a mother of two. "And families lovethis. Chip has given us a way to raise our kids with a giving heart. "24. Why did Chip start growing vegetables in Pittstown?A. He was deeply attracted by planting.B.

Families take turns to look after the garden.27. What's the best title for the text?A. American FarmsB. Paillex—The ProducersC. Way of PlantingD. Chip's Country LifeCA Japanese company, Next Technology, has created a robot dog that can tell you how bad your feet smell, by using a powerful sensor fixed in its nose. If you feet don’t have a bad smell. Hana-chan will happily wag its tail, if it's exposed to feet that are mildly smelly, it'll start to bark, and if they give off an extremely bad smell, it'll just fall over like the smell caused it to faint(昏倒).Foot odor (脚臭) is a big deal in Japan, where it’s a custom for people to take off their shoes whenever they enter someone's home. In fact, exposing others to bodily odors can be considered annoyance in Japan. Some of the most brilliant minds in the country's tech industry have beentrying to solve this problem. Last year, Thanko started selling axmpit (腋窝) fans designed to keep people's armpits nice and dry Now, we have Hana-chan.The robot dog has a special sensor for a nose, and can tell you if your feet smell just by sniffing them for a few seconds. According to some media reports, Hana-chan can help solve the problem of extremely smelly feet by spraying them with air freshener, but it's unclear whether this feature comes built-in, or if you'll have to pay extra for it.According to researchers at NextTechnology, the idea for Hana-chan was inspired by a person who desperately wanted some way to know if his feet smelled. "He told us his daughter had said his feet were smelly, " NextTechnology's Kimika Tsuji said. “But he didn't want to know how bad the odor was because he would feel hurt. That's why we developed this cute robot. "You may be able to make Hana-chan faint with your smelly feet, but it can have the same effect on budget-conscious people. NextTechnology plans to start selling the feet-smelling robot dog for ￥100, 000 ($9, 280) next May.28. Under what condition will Hana-chan bark?A. When its nose is fixed with a sensor.B. When it wags its tail.C. When it detects mildly smelly feet.D. When something is wrong with its nose.29. Why is foot odor paid great attention to in Japan?A. Because Japanese have strong bodily odors.B. Because Japanese are usually barefooted at others' home.C. Because Japanese are especial considerate of others.D. Because its tech industry is highly developed.30. What can be inferred about Hana-chan from the text?A. It has a built-in air freshener sprayer.B. It's already available in the market.C. Its idea comes from Kimika Tsuji.D. I can recognize foo odor quickly.31. What does the underlined part in the last paragraph imply?A. Hana-chan is no cheap thingB. People should mind their smelly feet.C. People should be careful about their budget.D. Hana-chan makes people loosen their budget.DCrown shyness (树冠羞避) is a mysterious natural phenomenon in which the crowns of some tree species do not touch each other, but get separated by a gap clearly seen from ground level. The effect usually occurs between trees of the same species, but has also been observed between trees of different species.There are many theories going around, most of which make sense, but no one has been able to prove without the shadow of a doubt why some trees avoid touching each other.In his 1955 book Growth Habits of the Eucalypts, Australian forester M. R. Jacobs writes that the growing tips of the trees are sensitive to abrasion (擦伤)，which results in crown shyness phenomenon. This theory was also supported by Dr. Miguel Franco. Some experiments have shown that if trees displaying crown shyness are artificially prevented from swaying (摇摆)in the wind and touching each other, they gradually fill up the gaps between them.But while the above theory is arguably the most widespread, it's certainly not the only one. Some scientists have suggested that crown shyness is a mechanism to stop the spreading of leaf-eating insects, The gaps mean pests wouldn't be able to reach other trees, so they are the tree's natural defense method.One Malaysian scholar studied many trees, but found no traces of abrasions, despite their clear crown shyness. Instead, he suggests that the growing tips of the trees were sensitive to light levels and stopped growing when they got too close to other trees. Plants are able to sense how close they are to other plants and in order to get more light, they give off some chemical to stop other trees from growing too close.Whatever the reason, one thing is for sure, plants are more intelligent than people.32. What can we know about crown shyness?A. It can cause abrasion between trees.B. It only happens between the same species.C. It has been discovered for only half a century.D. No agreement has been reached about its real cause.33. What will happen if trees showing crown shyness are stopped from swaying?A. The trees will stop growing and even die.B. The gaps between the trees will grow wider.C. The crown shyness phenomenon will disappear.D. The gaps between the trees will remain the same.34. What does the underlined word "mechanism" in paragraph 4 probably mean?A. Tip.B. Way.C. Theory.D. Plan.35. Which statement might the Malaysian scholar agree with?A. Trees have special ways to attack others.B. Some insects stop trees growing too close.C. Trees compete with their neighbors for light.D. Trees won't touch each other to avoid diseases.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。
