Solo travel, or traveling alone, wasn’t considered safe, ideal or fashionable for Indian women 25 years ago. But that didn’t stop Dr. Sudha Mahalingam. When she followed her husband on his work trips abroad, she used the opportunities to make her adventurous trips.
Two decades ago, Mahalingam quit her job in mainstream print journalism and switched careers to take up energy research. Soon after, she started receiving invitations to speak at international conferences in oil producing countries and the world of travel opened up to her. Today, at 70, she has visited 66 countries across six continents, which she shares on her blog Footloose Indian as well as in her book The Travel Gods Must Be Crazy.
Owing to a busy schedule of managing work and family, Mahalingam often had no time to organize her travel, so most of her early trips were sudden and unplanned. She landed in the Czech Republic without a valid (有效的) visa, faced the challenge of finding vegetarian food in China, got accidentally locked in a museum in Iran and was caught without proof of a yellow fever vaccination (疫苗接种) at the airport in Nairobi, Kenya.
Though Mahalingam sometimes travels with friends, most of her journeys are solo. Her most recent international adventure that stands out was her trip to Borneo in Southeast Asia. “There were crawlies (爬虫) everywhere and fallen leaves as high as one meter. You put your foot and won’t know if a snake would stick itself around your leg or whether a poisonous insect would bite you. It was pouring all the time. I have been to the Amazon rainforest as well but it was a cakewalk compared to Borneo,” she says.
Mahalingam has been addicted to different adventure sports too, including diving and hang-gliding. She also made a difficult journey to Everest base camp and, at the age of 66, went skydiving in Uluru, Australia.
24. What did Mahalingam do 25 years ago
A. She began traveling to other countries. B. She gave lectures on print journalism.
C. She followed her husband to India. D. She managed to keep family-work balance.
25. How is paragraph 3 mainly developed
A. By describing a process. B. By giving examples.
C. By making a comparison. D. By analyzing cause and effect.
26. Why did Mahalingam mention the Amazon rainforest in paragraph 4
A. To tell the differences between Borneo and the Amazon rainforest.
B. To prove the wide extent of Mahalingam’s travels.
C. To emphasize the importance of the Amazon rainforest.
D. To highlight the hardship of her Borneo trip.
27. Which of the following best describes Mahalingam
A. Creative. B. Courageous. C. Considerate. D. Demanding
C
Generally speaking, convenience and safety affect how we choose to pay for things. Environmental concerns do, too.
Each time you pull out a credit, use a phone’s wallet app or hand over cash, you take part in a system. Some parts of that system make things, like coins, bills or cards. Other parts move money between buyers, sellers, banks and others. Used cash, cards and equipment will also be eventually disposed of (处理). Each part of this system uses materials and energy. And all parts produce waste.
Now researchers are looking more closely at how “green” these payment systems are. They’re finding buyers can help cut some of the environmental costs, no matter how they pay.
To understand the full “cost” to society of money or any other system, researchers can perform what’s called a life-cycle assessment. It looks at all the environmental impacts of a product or process. It starts with mining, growing or making the raw materials. It includes what happens while something is in use. And it considers the final disposal or reuse of things.
Even though raw materials are the first step, in fact there are raw materials added in at every single step along the journey. For money, raw materials go into each step of something that is “made”. Fuels are the raw materials for energy to make products and transport them. More energy goes into using products. Recycling or disposal also requires energy, plus water, soil or other materials.
People don’t realize most of those steps, so they can’t judge if one form of payment is dirtier or more costly. And that’s a problem, researchers say. It’s also what has got some of them to show more about the costs of how we pay for our lifestyles.
A life-cycle assessment doesn’t tell you what to do. However, it gives you an informed basis for making a decision.
28.What is Paragraph 2 mainly about
A. The ways of paying. B. The process of payment.
C. The introduction of payment systems. D. The waste produced by payment.
29. What does the life-cycle assessment of payment systems focus on
A. The real value of money. B. The history of the currency.
C. The effect on the environment. D. The importance of raw material.
30. What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 5 refer to
A. Steps. B. Products. C. Materials. D. Fuels.
31. What can be the best title for the text
A. The Payment Patterns are Changing
B. How We Make Payment Systems “Green”
C. New Payment Patterns Have Come into Being
D. How We Choose to Pay Affects the Environment
D
Deep sleep doesn’t just rest your body. Scientists believe it’s also when the brain washes away toxins (毒素), with a new project looking at whether the brain’s self-clean can be boosted.
South Australian Health and Medical Research Institute (SAHMRI) neuroscientist Dr Tim Sargeant has teamed with Dr Edward Robins from SAHMRI’s Molecular Imaging and Therapy Research Unit to develop a brain scan that shows how well a brain is cleaning itself. Studies have shown that a clean brain would help with memory while fighting dementia (痴呆).
Scientists believe our brains clean themselves out each night when we enter deep sleep. Cerebrospinal fluid (脑脊液) is thought to wash through the brain, cleaning out toxins. Studies have shown a clear link between poor memory and toxins like the buildup of sticky plaques (粘性斑块) in the brains. Scientists believe brains that have a buildup of this plaque over time may not be cleaning themselves properly, putting people at risk of dementia.
Fortunately, the hope is that a clean brain would help with memory while fighting dementia. The brain scan will use special material to track how well the brain can keep itself clean and healthy through the process of removing and recycling its waste. “We’re aiming to catch the signs of the brain struggling to keep itself clean in individuals around the age of 50 or 60, well before the onset of Alzheimer’s disease (老年痴呆症) in most people,” Dr Sargeant said.
This new scan, an exciting imaging technology, will allow scientists to form a picture of a living brain and watch how it’s recycling wasting material in real time. “The scan takes out a lot of the guess work, by allowing scientists to see with their own eyes if they’ve hit the target or not,” Dr Robins said. “Without imaging, a researcher can get all the way up to the trial stage before realising they’re at a dead end.”
32. What is the aim of Dr Sargeant and Dr Robins’ developing the brain scan
A. To help people enter deep sleep. B. To reduce memory loss and dementia.
C. To study what the brain uses to clean itself. D. To research how to remove sticky plaques.
33. What may cause dementia according to the text
A. Not enough blood in the brain. B. Too frequent cleaning of the brain.
C. The gradual increase of sticky plaques. D. The increase of cerebrospinal fluid.
34. What does the underlined word “onset” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Beginning. B. Improvement. C. Worsening. D. Disappearance.
35. What does Dr Robins think of the brain scan
A. It brings more work. B. It is just imaginary.
C. It is far from exact. D. It is quite effective.

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。
Field trips have now become a popular and well-established method of education. A field trip is a journey organized by schools or educational institutions to a place outside of the classroom. 36 Therefore, the activities during a field trip are often designed to provide them with hands-on experiences.
Field trips can be taken to a variety of destinations. The most popular ones include museums, factories, zoos and botanical gardens. Field trips can also involve visits to historical sites and other places of interest. Sometimes even an outing to a park nearby can make a good field trip. 37
Field trips help improve academic performance. Participants in a field trip are engaged in various activities about a subject matter. 38 They could also pick up new knowledge through observation and interaction. Studies provide evidence that field trips can increase students’ test scores.
39 During a field trip, students are exposed to interactive activities and novel experiences that are not often available in a classroom, which awakens their interest and helps them rediscover the joy in study. This may be particularly important for students who are struggling academically.
A field trip can be challenging to organize due to factors such as high costs and safety concerns. 40 Teachers regard this outing as a good way of helping students and developing a good relationship with them. Students, moreover, may remember the experience of the school field trip as a highlight of the school year.
A．Field trips also promote a love of learning.
B．Still, it is believed that a well-chosen field trip is worth the difficulties.
C．In this way, they could gain a better understanding of it.
D．It is intended to help students learn in a real-world context.
E．Whatever the destination is, the key is to make sure the trip is practical.
F．That is why field trips are in decline in recent years.
G．The quality of a field trip always depends on its destination.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Fifteen years ago, I was born in a big family. I had been taught that money couldn’t buy everything ever since I was a little kid. My parents are the most hard-working people I have ever seen. While my parents tried to teach me these values, some could only be learned through personal experiences.
As a child, I would sit in the church trying to concentrate on the words of the priest (牧师), but my attention was soon attracted by the shining gold and the diamonds worn by the Saturday churchgoers. As my eyes began to wander, I noticed men dressed in their tailored suits and shirts accompanied by women in their designer dresses with matching handbags and shoes.
My family, on the other hand, was the opposite of rich. Our hand-me-down clothes had been washed so many times that the colors had become dull and lifeless. Although this revealed the money struggles of our large family, our faces were always washed and hair neatly combed. When sitting on the old big red and white truck after the service, I pictured the lives led by those driving their brand-new cars, wishing I would be one of them.
I never stopped those fantasies, even when I was in middle school. Since it was a private school, most of the children came from wealthy families. As a result, I constantly felt ashamed. Although I could hide my lack of wealth at school by wearing our school uniforms, my poverty was embarrassingly obvious on weekends with my classmates wearing designer jeans and I had no choice but to wear my sister’s old jeans. I never fitted in with my classmates. To my relief, there was only one girl named Julie who opened her heart to me. I was attached to her like a shadow. Soon, her birthday was approaching. Julie invited me to attend her birthday party.
注意：续写词数应为150左右。
However, I grew upset as I couldn’ t afford a gift._________________________________

When she opened the gift box, my heart missed a beat.______________________________
