Melbourne is a hot-spot travel destination, and it’s easy to see why with its beautiful beaches and busy city life, it is a great place to visit.

Why it’s a great choice: Australia as a whole is considered a safe destinati on for international

travel, and because of that, many solo travelers go there. As an English-speaking country, you won’t be faced with any language barriers. Melbourne is easy to get around because you can walk or bike practically anywhere!

New research has found that even if you give up smoking, the damage it has done to your genes (基因) will stay there for a much longer time.

In the research, a team of US scientists studied the blood of 16,000 people. Among them, some were smokers, some used to smoke, and the rest were non-smokers. Scientists pa red their genes and found that more than 7,000 genes of smokers had changed--a number that is one-third of known human genes.

According to NBC News, both heart disease and cancer are caused by genetic changes. Some people may have had the changes when they were born, but most people get them in their day-to-day lives while doing things like smoking.

When you stop smoking, a lot of these genes will return to normal within five years. This means your body is trying to heal (治愈) itself of the harmful effects of smoking. But the changes in some of the genes stay for longer. They can stay for as long as 30 years, It’s almost like leaving a footprint on wet cement (水泥) --it will always be there, even when you’ve walked away and when the c ement bees dry.

Although the study results may make people unhappy, there is a bright side: the findings could help scientists invent medicine to treat genetic damage caused by smoking or find ways to tell which people have heart disease or cancer risks.

25.The function of Paragraph 1 is to_________ .

A. give an example

B. make a parison

C. make an argument

D. introduce the topic of the passage

26.Most genetic changes happen because of___________ .

C. people’s condition at birth

D. heart disease and cancer

27.The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refers to__________ .

A. the harmful effect

B. the cement

C. the footprint

D. the genetic change

28.Which of the following statements is true?

A. The findings are the fruit of more than three years’ research.

B. The findings help to find treatments for genetic damage caused by smoking.

C. The findings offer evidence that a damaged gene can heal itself.

D. The findings have prevented more people from starting smoking

C

With some of the best farmland in the world, America has been able to perfect its process of raising crops and animals. America’s history with farming is as l ong as the sto ry of the country.

The first settlers to America were interested in the profitability of raising a crop rather than just growing it to feed themselves. In Jamestown, the first cash crop was tobacco. Adaptable and easily managed, tobacco gave its settlers financial backing to move into other areas of agriculture. Until the Civil War, the Southeast was the primary producer of crops from their tobacco and cotton plantations.

With the Homestead Act, settlers began to move west in search of greater lands. The first crop that was generally introduced was wheat. Miles of farmland were established, and products such as corn, tomatoes, peanuts and potatoes became basic crops for the country. The Hatch Act of 1887 put a priority（优先事项）on establishing farmland across the country and put a special emphasis on teaching proper techniques to produce more products and feed the country. The family farm was born from this law.

Because of the Dust Bowl problem and the Depression, much of the farmland developed in earlier times was abandoned（抛弃）. However, after World War II, orders were issued to make use of every

available piece of land for production. Over the next few decades, greater emphasis on environmental concerns played a key role in farming.

Now there are many different types of farms in America. The most popular one is the cash grain farm, specializing in corn and soybeans with various grains, beans and rice. Farms that grow vegetables, fruit and nursery crops are known as high value farms. Tobacco and cotton farms are usually kept to lands of their own. In addition to all the food that is grown, there are the livestock(牲畜) farms that raise cattle, dairy and eggs.

29. Reorder the following statements according to the events in the passage.

①The family farm was born.

②There are various types of farms in America.

③Wheat was generally introduced to America.

④Tobacco was planted in Jamestown as the first cash crop.

⑤Environmental concerns played an important role in farming.

A. ①④②③⑤

B. ④③①⑤②

C. ⑤①②③④

D. ③①④⑤②

30. Which of the following statements is TRUE?

A. The Homestead Act spread farmland across the country.

B. The livestock farm is the most popular type of farm in America.

C. Much of the farmland was abandoned due to World War II.

D. The first settlers to America raised cash crop to make money.

31. The best title for the passage would be ____________.

A. The History of Farming in America

B. America’s Farming policies

C. The Best Farmland in the World

D. The Different Types of Farms in America

China is a land of bicycles. At least it was back in 1992 when I traveled the country. Back then everyone seemed to be riding a bicycle. Millions of them, all black. Cars were rare.

My first ride home was or derly(守秩序的) . To be safe , I stayed with a ”pack” of bikers while cars on the streets came running swiftly out of nowhere at times. I didn’t want to get hit . So I took the ride carefully.

Crossing the streets was the biggest problem. It was a lot like crossing a major highway back in the United States. The streets here were wide, so crossing took time, skill and a little bit of luck.I finally made it home . The feeling on the bicycle was amazing . The air hitting my face and going through my hair was wonderful. I was sitting on top of the world as I passed by places and people. Biking made me feel alive.
