Santiago has visited Machu Picchu many times and knows the best time to arrive. This is before the first train of the day arrives from Ollantaytambo. We boarded our bus and headed up the mountain! As we climbed and climbed, it was easy to imagine how the Spanish failed to discover Machu Picchu during their travels up and down along the Urubamba River far below. The site sits over 7,000 feet high on a mountain top and plants hide it from view.
In the early 1900s, the site was not as much rediscovered as it was made famous by Hiram Bingham, an explorer who was looking for the hidden city of the Incas. In fact, local farmers were using part of Machu Picchu to grow food at the time. No one knows for sure what Machu Picchu was used for or when and why the site was abandoned(遗弃). These questions will likely never be answered. However, what is known for sure is that it was an amazing creation!
As we entered Machu Picchu, we had an opportunity to take the famous “postcard picture” thanks to Santiago. There wasn’t one question that he did not have an answer for. He seemed very conscious(有意识的)of our limited time and wanted to make sure we got the most out of our visit. We had a chance to visit an ancient drawbridge(开合桥). This tested my fear of heights as the drop-off at some points was close to 2,000 feet straight down. In fact, the trail became too dangerous to go any further so we made our way back to the main site and had plenty of time to take great photos there.
After Santiago was satisfied we had seen much as we could, we took the bus back to Aguas Calientes.；
4. Why did the author mention the Spanish in paragraph 1
A．To show that Machu Picchu was difficult to find.

D．To explain why Machu Picchu is attractive.；
5. How does the author describe Machu Picchu

C．It was hidden by the Incas.
D．It was a great human creation.；
6. When the author stood on the drawbridge, she was probably .
A．tired B．fearful C．excited D．surprised；
7. What can we infer about Santiago
A．He lives in Machu Picchu. B．He knows Machu Picchu well.
C．He comes from Spain. D．He is a local farmer.

I was at the Gathering for Science in Boston, on 22 April 2017, as were 70.000 other scientists. We were there to stand up for facts and truth.
Where are the crowds of scientists now Since then, harms from science denial have only increased: global suffering has grown owing to inaction on climate change, and some epidemics have risen along with vaccine skepticism.
I've been out there talking to the science deniers, and I've asked my scientist friends to come with me. “Those people just aren't worth talking to.” they'll say. “I wouldn't make a difference anyway.” What's wrong. Those people can and do change their minds, although it requires someone to put in the time to overcome distrust.
To be sure, many experts have launched themselves against misinformation, enduring abuse on social media and even threats to their safety. But when scientists turn down my invitations, it's not because of fear. Most often, their excuses are grounded in the “backfire effect”, a questionable 2010 finding that people sometimes embrace misconceptions more strongly when fared with corrective information, implying that pushing back against falsehoods is counter-productive. Even the researchers whose results were exaggerated to popularize this idea do not embrace it anymore, and argue that the true challenge is learning how best to target corrective information.
In fact, evidence is growing that rebuttals can he effective. Science deniers all draw on the same flawed reasoning techniques: cherry-picking evidence, relying on fake experts, and engaging in illogical reasoning. A landmark 2019 study showed that critiquing the flawed techniques can contain the spread of misinformation.
So how does “technique rebuttal” work in practice
Arnaud Gagneur and his colleagues at the University of Sherbrooke conducted more than 1.000 20-minute interviews in which they listened to new parents' concerns about vaccinations and answered their questions. Those parents' children were 9% more likely to receive all the vaccines on the schedule than were those of uninterviewed parents whose babies were delivered in the same maternity ward. One mother told him: “It's the first time that I've had a discussion like this, and I feel respected, and I trust you.” It is self-evident in science communication that you cannot convince a science denier with facts alone; most science deniers don't have a lack of information, but a lack of trust.
So what should scientists do Even non-experts ran use technique rebuttal. A geologist can engage a neighbor who is vaccine hesitant. A protein biologist ran coach an aunt or uncle who wants “more evidence” that climate change is real. Instead of shilling to more comfortable conversations, engage in respectful exchange. If you spend more time asking questions than offering explanations, people will be more likely to pay attention to the explanations that you do offer.
8. What can we learn from the passage
A．The Gathering for Science addressed online abuse.
B．The silence of scientists worsens harm from science denial.
C．Ineffective vaccines speed up the spread of some epidemics.
D．The author's friends find it valuable to talk with science deniers.
9. According to the passage, the “backfire effect” .
A．suggests caution before correcting others
B．emphasizes the effectiveness of rebuttals
C．results from flawed reasoning techniques
D．enjoys wide support in the academic field
10. The last two paragraphs suggest that .
A．the interviewed parents agreed to vaccination due to the sufficiency of the information
B．geologists and protein biologists need to make sure the conversations are comfortable
C．scientists are encouraged to listen carefully and ask questions during interaction
D．scientists should teach non-experts how to conduct respectful exchanges
11. In writing this passage, the author aims to .
A．express concerns for misinformation
B．analyze the mot cause of science denial
C．advocate employing technique rebuttal
D．present the problems scientists encounter
二、七选五
It's about time somebody destroyed that old myth(神话)about childhood being the happiest period of your life. Childhood may certainly be fairly happy, but its greatest moments can't compare with the joy of being an adult. 12 Adults choose the clothes their children will wear, the books they will read and the friends they will play with. This is an adult world.
13 14 But which adult would honestly change places with a child Every movement you make, every thought you think is watched by some adult, Remember how gentle pressure was given to you with words like “if you don't do as I say, I will...”. I'm sure you will never forget!
Even so, these are only part of child's trouble. No matter how kind and loving parents may be, children often suffer from terrible and illogical fears since they can't understand the world around them. 13 15 Adults can share their fears with other adults while children have to face their fears alone.
But the most painful part of childhood is a period when you begin to go out of it, the period when you go into adolescence. 13 16 Adolescents pay much attention to their appearance and the impression they make on others. They feel shy, awkward and clumsy. Feelings are sensitive and hearts easily broken. Teenagers experience moments of great happiness or black despair.
What a happy time it is to grow up. Suddenly you get your balance; the world opens up before you. You are free to choose; you have your own place to live in and your own money to spend. You do not have to ask approval for everything you do. 17
A．You are one yourself!
B．Who ever asked a six-year-old for opinion
C．Sometimes, adults could be very cruel to children.
D．They often have such fear in the dark or in the dreams.
E.As the old saying goes: Spare the rod and spoil the child.
F.There is a complete lack of self-confidence during this time.
G.You must have heard these words about how happy it is to be a child.
