Perhaps my favorite place during my trip to Guangxi was the Longji Rice Terraces in Longsheng. I’ve seen rice terraces elsewhere in Asia, but nothing compared with the beauty of the Longji Rice Terraces. To go to Guangxi and skip (略过) these rice terraces would be a loss.
These over 600-year-old terraces are still very much in use and feed the local Yao and Zhuang communities; you can find many guesthouses throughout the various rice terraces, and while accommodations ( 住宿) are very basic, I would strongly suggest spending a night in the peaceful terraces, surrounded by nothing but rice.
My friends and I had arrived in Guangxi on harvest ( 收获) day and we were told by our local guide it was too late to see Longji in its autumnal beauty. But we were super lucky because the 2017 harvest had been delayed ( 推迟), and when we arrived in Longsheng a couple of days later, it was the last day before the harvest began. It’s quite risky to time your visit this way, but it is amazing to see the Longji Rice Terraces both before harvest and after, when it takes on a completely new character.
The two main terraced areas are the Ping’an Terraced Fields and the Jinkeng Terraced Fields.
The former is home to the local Zhuang people and has more visitors as it’s easier to reach. Jinkeng, on the other hand, is less visited. The Red Yao people live here, and should you need a hand with your suitcase, their women are happy to help you. We chose Jinkeng because it’s home to the highest point of the Longji Rice Terraces. The viewpoint ( 视角) is nearly 4,000 feet high. We had to go up there as our hotel was up there, but you should anyway as it’s the most wonderful viewpoint.
The Longji Rice Terraces are supposed to be beautiful in the spring and summer as well, though
I much prefer its autumnal beauty. Winter, I’d skip, as it was already cold enough at night in October, but I’d return and visit again in the spring or summer.
What is the author’s advice for people visiting the Longji Rice Terraces
Staying a night at a guesthouse among the terraces.
Going to the local Yao and Zhuang communities.
Choosing good accommodations.
Eating the local rice.
Why did the author feel very lucky when he arrived in Longsheng
He could admire the terraces’ autumnal beauty.
He found a time-saving way to the terraces.
He came across one of his friends.
He had a professional local guide.
What made the author choose the Jinkeng Terraced Fields
The affordable hotel.
The friendly people.
The great viewpoint.
The light traffic.
Where can the text be found
In a short novel.
In a news report.
In a history book.
In a travel magazine.

In her new book, Kate Leaver explores modern friendship. If the Internet is the cause of loneliness, she writes, it’s also the cure (解决方法).
Scientists have done studies that suggest a connection between social media and loneliness. But
even they have to admit (承认) we do not know what came first: loneliness or social media. Does Twitter make us lonelier, or do we pick up our phones when we’re already lonely, looking for some kind of connection
I’ve spoken to many people, both my own friends and strangers from the Internet, who would simply not have the same social life without social media. I know a woman who met all three of her bridesmaids ( 伴 娘 ) on Twitter. She says she feels her most real self when she’s online and the friends she’s made there are her closest friends. I met the woman on Twitter, did this interview online and now we’re also friends.
This is perhaps exactly the point: we can no longer quite so easily tell our online selves from what we’d call our in-real-life selves. We are becoming confident enough to put our online and offline selves together as we realise that using social media is an important way to develop friendships.
My best friends in the world live in Melbourne, New York, Los Angeles and New Orleans. I am, at any time, at least 5, 000 km away from them. Catch-ups ( 谈论近况) over dinner are not possible for us. And so, we spend most of our friendship exchanging stories and emojis on WhatsApp and Facebook.
Our group has become home to career advice and moral support (精神支持). I am saddened by anyone who would suggest our largely online friendship is in any way less important than people who have the chance to sit in the same room. We live in a world where technology is everywhere. So embrace it and you’ll get more than you expect.
What is the purpose of paragraph 1
To explore the reasons for loneliness.
To introduce Kate Leaver’s new book.
To bring up the topic of modern friendship.
To discuss the negative influence of the Internet.
What can we learn about the woman who met her bridesmaids online
She helps her online friends find their true selves.
She considers her social life very different.
She has lots of short-term online friends.
She speaks highly of online friendship.
How does the author deal with her friendships
She tries hard to have face-to-face catch-ups.
She pays more attention to her online friends.
She uses the Internet to maintain friendships.
She writes stories to stay in touch with her friends.
What does the underlined word “embrace” probably mean in the last paragraph
A. Stop. B. Accept.
C. Change. D. Discover.
D
Movies and TV shows see dolphins as helpful, playful creatures. “The world loves a good dolphin story,” Blake Morton, a scientist who studies animal behavior, told TIME. “And I think one reason for that is we see a lot of ourselves reflected in their behavior.”
Morton used scientific methods to test this. The result of this work is a new report showing that humans and dolphins share certain personality traits (个性特点).
The study included 134 bottlenose dolphins in eight countries. Each dolphin was observed and
rated by several people, using a “dolphin personality questionnaire (调查表).” The questionnaire had more than 40 items. It included adjectives such as “playful” and “intelligent”. Scientists gave every dolphin a score from 1 to 5 for each item, based on how well it described the animal’s behavior.
From these ratings, Morton and his team were able to find personality traits that are common in dolphins.
The results show that dolphins and humans have some similar personality traits. Most obviously, the two species ( 物种) share traits related to curiosity and sociability.
Morton’s dolphin study and others like it help us learn about other species. But they also help us
learn about ourselves. “My kind of work comes from the spirit of trying to understand what made humans the way we are,” Morton says. “One way we can do that is to compare our behavior to other species.”
Scientists around the world are researching different animal species. Their research raises important questions that future scientists will work to answer. “It’s all a big puzzle ( 迷宫),” Morton says. “It takes thousands of careful papers being printed before you start to see the puzzle coming together.” He compares scientific research to pointillism. That’s a painting style in which an artist makes a picture using lots of tiny dots ( 点). “If you take a step back and look at all those little single points of work,” Morton says, “you’ll see a big picture come into view.”
What did Morton’s dolphin study find
Dolphins are more popular in TV shows than other animals.
Dolphins have personality traits very similar to humans.
Dolphins are helpful and playful creatures.
Dolphins are more curious than humans.
What is paragraph 3 mainly about
The importance of studying dolphin behavior.
Why Morton’s team created the questionnaire.
How Morton’s team carried out the study.
The methods of observing dolphins.
What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 5 refer to
Finding the similarities between dolphins and humans.
Having a deeper understanding of humans.
Protecting dolphins more scientifically.
Learning about other animals.
What does Morton intend to tell us in the last paragraph
Progress in science is made little by little.
Scientific research should be taken seriously.
Art plays an important role in scientific research.
Scientists around the world should work together.

Our words have the power to build our loved ones up and guide our communication in the right direction. 36 Here are several positive family communication rules you can follow in your home to avoid the negative results and build loving relationships.
37 Take the time to think about what you want to say before you say it. Make sure your words, tone (语气) and body language reflect what you mean.
Tell the truth gently (和缓地). It might feel like the right thing to hide the truth to avoid
hurting your loved ones, but being dishonest breaks trust. 38 Being extremely honest hurts feelings, but gentle truth builds intimacy (亲密).
Respect each other’s viewpoints (观点). Is it more important to be “right” or protect your
relationship Remember there are a lot of “rights,” depending on who you are talking to, so avoid getting caught up in right vs. wrong. 39 And let others speak. Allowing others to speak until they are finished is a great rule for everyone to follow.
Be a good listener. 40 Avoid thinking about what you are going to say next. Focus on what is being said, what your family member might be feeling, and how you can empathize (产生共鸣).

Recent studies have shown the benefit — even necessity — of 56. (spend) time outdoors, both for kids 57. adults. Some argue that it can be any outdoor environment. Some say it has to be a “green” environment — one with trees and leaves. Most of the studies agree that kids who play outside are 58. (happy) and less anxious ( 焦虑的) than kids who spend more time indoors. While it’s unclear how 59. (exact) the mood improvements happen, there are a few things we do know about why nature is good 60. kids’ minds.
There are various ways 61. (explore) outdoor environments, from the backyard to the park, and letting a child choose how he treats nature 62. (mean) he has the ability to control his own actions. This style of play also allows kids to interact ( 互动) meaningfully with their environments. They can think more freely, design their own activities, and approach the world in
63. (interest) ways.
Most ways of interacting with nature include more exercise than sitting on the sofa. Kids don’t have to join the local soccer team or ride a bike through the park — even a walk will get their blood pumping ( 流通). Not only is exercise beneficial to kids’ bodies, but it seems to make 64. (they) more focused, which is especially beneficial for kids with ADHD ( 多动症).
So while screen time is the easier, more popular choice, 65. is important to set enough time for outdoor play.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一个完整的短文。
“Why did Dad’s job make us move to South America anyway ” I asked Mom. “The TV shows are in Spanish and I miss going to school. The worst part is that I don’t have any friends here. All of the kids speak Spanish.”
“I know it’s hard, sweetheart. I’m lonely here too,” Mom said. “It’s hard to make friends when I can’t talk to anybody.”
Mom hugged (拥抱) me. “We’ll only be living here for eight more months.”
At that moment, eight months sounded like forever. A few days later, Dad said that a man at his work had a daughter my age. “Would you like to invite her over to play ”
“Does she speak English ”
“No,” Dad said, “but I can teach you a few Spanish words so the two of you can talk a little bit.” I shrugged ( 耸 肩 ). “It’s hard to be friends with someone when you can’t really talk to them.” Dad nodded. “I understand, but you wished for a friend.”
“I mean a friend who speaks English.”
“I know, but this might be fun anyway. I’m going to ask her dad to bring her over to our house.”
The following afternoon, Maria and her dad came over. I felt funny because I didn’t know how we’d play together without being able to talk to one another.
“Hola,” I said quietly, which means “hi” in Spanish.
Maria smiled and said something I didn’t understand. I looked at Dad and whispered (低声说), “This isn’t going to work.”
“Give it a chance,” he said.
Then Maria showed me a cardboard box. She’d brought a game called Connect Four. Dad smiled. “You don’t need to speak the same language to play that game.”
Maria and I went to my bedroom and set up the game. We took turns putting the colored disks (圆片) into the board, trying to get four in a row. Suddenly Maria smiled and pointed at the four red pieces in a row.
I smiled and said, “You won. Good game.”
注意：
续写词数应为 150 左右；
请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Although I’m sure Maria didn’t understand my words, I could tell she understood my smile.
As we were both laughing, I realized that although we spoke different languages, I’d actually made a friend.
