Each year, two million tourists visit the beautiful islands off the Australian coast. However, most visitors just visit for a day. The tourism officers wanted more people to stay longer, so they decided to hire a person to live on an island and write about the area. “We are looking for someone to tell the stories of the Great Barrier Reef, and we have come up with what we think is the dream job,” explained Anthony Hayes, the Chief Executive of Tourism in Queensland. They posted the job on their website and waited for replies.
In England, Ben Southall was looking online. He saw the job posting. It sounded too good to be true. He immediately made a video about himself. He loved to travel. He described his 40, 000-mile (64, 374-kilometer) trip around Africa. He was a good writer and an excellent swimmer, he explained. In short, he was the perfect job applicant. Then he submitted his application and hoped for the best.
In Australia, the tourism officers in Queensland were very busy. They received 35, 000 applications from people all over the world. They chose 15 top applicants—including Southall. Then they invited these applicants to Australia. The interview was unusual: four days of swimming, diving, and writing blogs about the experience. At the end of the four days, they chose the best applicant: Ben Southall.
This was the beginning of Southall’s amazing experience. From his first day at work to his last, he explored the islands. He swam in the clear, blue water and dived among the coral reefs. He visited local hotels, and he ate at all the best restaurants. “Every day was a different experience: jet skiing, staying in five-star resorts, diving, and then writing about it.” Meanwhile, people were reading his blogs all over the world.
It wasn’t all fun, however. Australia is home to many poisonous (有毒的) creatures such as snakes, spiders, and fish. For most of the time, Southall managed to avoid these creatures. However, in the last week, his luck came to an end. A poisonous jellyfish stung him. Luckily, he recovered and was able to finish his work.
In the end, was this the perfect job Yes, but Southall discovered that it was extremely hard work. He was under a lot of pressure to write about all his adventures. He had to post videos and photos every day. These videos and blogs attracted more people to the island. So, Ben Southall swam, dived, had a good time, and did a good job. In fact, he had such a good time that he decided to stay in Australia.

③ Learn skiing and diving in five-star resorts without paying.

You can put a postage stamp on it you can write an address on it, and you can send it through the U. S. mail. No, it’s not an envelope or a package. It’s the amazing coconut! The coconut is different from most other fruits because every part of it is useful. People drink the milk and eat the meat, they use coconut oil as a lotion (护肤液), and they use the husks for containers (容器). People in some island nations have even used the coconut in place of money. It is possible that humans have been using coconuts in many of these different ways for thousands of years. Even today, people are still finding new uses for the coconut.
One of the more exciting uses of the coconut is as a source of energy in place of petroleum (石油). Scientists around the world are working on using coconuts for energy because coconuts are cheap, clean, and renewable. Already, coconut-rich countries such as Papua New Guinea, the Philippines, and Vanuatu are using coconut oil for this purpose. Engineers from these countries have made an effective biofuel out of coconut oil and alcohol. The fuel can power cars, trucks, ships, and even electric-power plants. In addition, the South Pacific islands of Tokelau are using coconut oil along with solar energy as their primary energy source. The two together can produce 100 percent of the electricity the islands need.
Students at Baylor University in Texas received a grant to study the coconut husk. The result shows that coconut husks can take in water very well. Mixing coconut husks with dry soil helps the soil to hold onto more of the water. The students are also finding that the fibers can replace plastic in some cases. For example, the students are looking into using coconut husk fibers instead of plastic in parts of car interiors. If this is possible, it will help to make vehicles more environmentally friendly.
The husk of the coconut is a perfect package. It protects the coconut from damage. When the coconut falls on the ground or into water, the husk protects it. Its strong husk is the reason the U. S. Postal Service allows people to send the coconut without any extra packaging anywhere in the country. All that is necessary is to stick some stamps right onto the coconut. Each year, tourists on the Hawaiian island of Molokai post about 3, 000 of these “coconut postcards”.
Coconuts grow naturally in over 80 countries of the world. They require only sun and regular rainfall. No extra care is needed. Every year, these 80 countries produce more than 61 million tons of coconuts. It is not surprising, then, that people want to find multiple uses for the coconut. Because they’re an easy-to-grow resource, coconuts really are more than just great souvenirs to bring home after a trip to the tropics.
33. In Paragraph 2, what does the underlined part “this purpose” mean
A. Coconuts are not only cheap and clean, but also renewable.
B. An effective biofuel is made out of coconut oil and alcohol.
C. People in coconut-rich countries use coconut a lot in daily lives.
D. Coconuts’ husks produce a source of energy in place of petroleum.
34. What feature of the husk makes it so useful for planting
A. The husk can take in water well. B. The husk can be used instead of plastic.
C. The husk can be quickly mixed with soil. D. The husk can help protect the environment.
35. In the last paragraph, the writer proves that coconuts are an easy-to-grow resource by ________.
A. listing the facts B. showing the results
C. expressing the opinions D. comparing the numbers
36. Which is the most suitable title for this passage
A. A Perfect Package B. A Fruit with Rich Uses
C. A Source of Energy D. An Easy-to-grow Resource
【答案】33. A 34. A 35. A 36. B

“I wish you a good day, Uncle,” said Dete, as she walked towards him, “and I have brought you Tobias and Adelaide’s child. You will hardly recognize her, as you have never seen her since she was one year old.” Hearing that the old man asked curtly. “But what has the child to do with me up here ” Dete made answer, “The child is here to stay with you. I have done my duty for these four years, and I have to go because the family I had waited on asked me to go to Frankfurt. You are the next of kin (亲属) to the child.”
As she uttered her last words, Uncle looked at her and said to her in a commanding voice, “Get back, and do not let me see your face again.” Dete did not wait to be told twice. “Good-bye to you then, and to you too, Heidi,” she called.
As soon as Dete had disappeared, the old man went back to his bench. Heidi, meanwhile, was enjoying herself in her new surroundings.
“Come!” and the grandfather went before her towards the hut.
“Bring your clothes in with you,” he asked her as she was following. “I shan’t want them any more” was her prompt answer. The old man turned and looked searchingly at the child, whose dark eyes were sparkling in delighted anticipation of what she was going to see inside. “She is certainly not wanting wisdom,” he murmured to himself. “And why shall you not want them any more ” he asked aloud. “Because I want to go about like the goats with their thin light legs.” Heidi asked, “Where am I to sleep, grandfather ”
“Wherever you like,” he answered.
Heidi was delighted. In the corner near her grandfather’s bed she saw a short ladder against the wall; up she climbed and found herself in the hay loft. “I shall sleep up here, grandfather,” she called down to him, “It’s lovely, up e up and see how lovely it is!”
“Oh, I know all about it,” he called up in answer.
In the middle of the night the old man got up. “The child will be frightened,” he murmured. He mounted the ladder and went and stood by the child’s bed. Outside the moonlight was falling through the round window straight on to Heidi’s bed. She lay under the heavy cover lid, her cheeks rosy with sleep, her head peacefully resting on her little round arm, and with a happy expression on her baby face as if dreaming of something pleasant. The old man stood looking down on the sleeping child until the moon disappeared behind the clouds and he could see no more, then he went back to bed.

A Virtual Visit to Stolen Art
Virtual (虚拟的) museums are nothing new these days.
Technology has allowed people to take trips to some of the world’s greatest museums on their couch. Now how about a virtual visit to stolen art
UNESCO is building the world’s first virtual museum of stolen cultural artifacts (文物). Their aim is to raise public awareness of culture heritage (遗产) protection.
“Behind every stolen work lies a piece of history,” said UNESCO Director-General Audrey Azoulay. “We want to place these works back in the spotlight so that more people can notice them.”
The virtual museum works as an educational tool. It will offer visitors 3D images of stolen artifacts. There will also be detailed information about their history.
The project will be designed by Francis Kere. The architect won the famous Pritzker Architecture Prize in 2022. For the museum, he has designed a virtual globe with a spiral (螺旋的) central structure.
When it is opened in 2025, the museum will present 600 pieces of artifacts. One of the most important items is a 3rd-century alabaster stone inscription. It was taken from Awwam temple in Yemen. Visitors will also be able to see an ivory relief from the 7th century BC. The work of a lion attacking a man was stolen from, the Baghdad Museum. A green stone mask looted from the Maya site of Rio Azul will also be on display.
“These are objects that once existed, but we don’t know where they are,” said Ernesto Ottone. He is UNESCO’s assistant director’ general for culture. “We will exhibit them in a space where we can really tell the story and the context behind them.”
“No one has imagined a museum like this,” Azoulay said. “The presentation of each artwork is a deep dive (深入研究) into its universe, its culture, and the society that produced it,” she added.

Each year, two million tourists visit the beautiful islands off the Australian coast. However, most visitors just visit for a day. The tourism officers wanted more people to stay longer, so they decided to hire a person to live on an island and write about the area. “We are looking for someone to tell the stories of the Great Barrier Reef, and we have come up with what we think is the dream job,” explained Anthony Hayes, the Chief Executive of Tourism in Queensland. They posted the job on their website and waited for replies.
In England, Ben Southall was looking online. He saw the job posting. It sounded too good to be true. He immediately made a video about himself. He loved to travel. He described his 40, 000-mile (64, 374-kilometer) trip around Africa. He was a good writer and an excellent swimmer, he explained. In short, he was the perfect job applicant. Then he submitted his application and hoped for the best.
In Australia, the tourism officers in Queensland were very busy. They received 35, 000 applications from people all over the world. They chose 15 top applicants—including Southall. Then they invited these applicants to Australia. The interview was unusual: four days of swimming, diving, and writing blogs about the experience. At the end of the four days, they chose the best applicant: Ben Southall.
This was the beginning of Southall’s amazing experience. From his first day at work to his last, he explored the islands. He swam in the clear, blue water and dived among the coral reefs. He visited local hotels, and he ate at all the best restaurants. “Every day was a different experience: jet skiing, staying in five-star resorts, diving, and then writing about it.” Meanwhile, people were reading his blogs all over the world.
It wasn’t all fun, however. Australia is home to many poisonous (有毒) creatures such as snakes, spiders, and fish. For most of the time, Southall managed to avoid these creatures.

You can put a postage stamp on it, you can write an address on it, and you can send it through the U. S. mail. No, it’s not an envelope or a package. It’s the amazing coconut! The coconut is different from most other fruits because every part of it is useful. People drink the milk and eat the meat, they use coconut oil as a lotion (护肤液), and they use the husks for containers (容器). People in some island nations have even used the coconut in place of money. It is possible that humans have been using coconuts in many of these different ways for thousands of years. Even today, people are still finding new uses for the coconut.
One of the more exciting uses of the coconut is as a source of energy in place of petroleum (石油). Scientists around the world are working on using coconuts for energy because coconuts are cheap, clean, and renewable. Already, coconut-rich countries such as Papua New Guinea, the Philippines, and Vanuatu are using coconut oil for this purpose. Engineers from these countries have made an effective biofuel out of coconut oil and alcohol. The fuel can power cars, trucks, ships, and even electric-power plants. In addition, the South Pacific islands of Tokelau are using coconut oil along with solar energy as their primary energy source. The two together can produce 100 percent of the electricity the islands need.
Students at Baylor University in Texas received a grant to study the coconut husk. The result shows that coconut husks can take in water very well. Mixing coconut husks with dry soil helps the soil to hold onto more of the water. The students are also finding that the fibers can replace plastic in some cases. For example, the students are looking into using coconut husk fibers instead of plastic in parts of car interiors. If this is possible, it will help to make vehicles more environmentally friendly.
The husk of the coconut is a perfect package. It protects the coconut from damage. When the coconut falls on the ground or into water, the husk protects it. Its strong husk is the reason the U. S. Postal Service allows people to send the coconut without any extra packaging anywhere in the country. All that is necessary is to stick some stamps right onto the coconut. Each year, tourists on the Hawaiian island of Molokai post about 3, 000 of these “coconut postcards”.
Coconuts grow naturally in over 80 countries of the world. They require only sun and regular rainfall. No extra care is needed. Every year, these 80 countries produce more than 61 million tons of coconuts. It is not surprising, then, that people want to find multiple uses for the coconut. Because they’re an easy-to-grow resource, coconuts really are more than just great souvenirs to bring home after a trip to the tropics.
33. In Paragraph 2, what does the underlined part “this purpose” mean
A. Coconuts are not only cheap and clean, but also renewable.
B. An effective biofuel is made out of coconut oil and alcohol.
C. People in coconut-rich countries use coconut a lot in daily lives.
D. Coconuts’ husks produce a source of energy in place of petroleum.
34. What feature of the husk makes it so useful for planting
A. The husk can take in water well. B. The husk can be used instead of plastic.
C. The husk can be quickly mixed with soil. D. The husk can help protect the environment.
35. In the last paragraph, the writer proves that coconuts are an easy-to-grow resource by ________.
A. listing the facts B. showing the results
C. expressing the opinions D. comparing the numbers
36. Which is the most suitable title for this passage
A. A Perfect Package B. A Fruit with Rich Uses
C. A Source of Energy D. An Easy-to-grow Resource

“I wish you a good day, Uncle,” said Dete, as she walked towards him, “and I have brought you Tobias and Adelaide’s child. You will hardly recognize her, as you have never seen her since she was one year old.” Hearing that the old man asked curtly. “But what has the child to do with me up here ” Dete made answer, “The child is here to stay with you. I have done my duty for these four years, and I have to go because the family I had waited on asked me to go to Frankfurt. You are the next of kin (亲属) to the child.”
As she uttered her last words, Uncle looked at her and said to her in a commanding voice, “Get back, and do not let me see your face again.” Dete did not wait to be told twice. “Good-bye to you then, and to you too, Heidi,” she called.
As soon as Dete had disappeared, the old man went back to his bench. Heidi, meanwhile, was enjoying herself in her new surroundings.
“Come!” and the grandfather went before her towards the hut.
“Bring your clothes in with you,” he asked her as she was following. “I shan’t want them any more” was her prompt answer. The old man turned and looked searchingly at the child, whose dark eyes were sparkling in delighted anticipation of what she was going to see inside. “She is certainly not wanting wisdom,” he murmured to himself. “And why shall you not want them any more ” he asked aloud. “Because I want to go about like the goats with their thin light legs.” Heidi asked, “Where am I to sleep, grandfather ”
“Wherever you like,” he answered.
Heidi was delighted. In the corner near her grandfather’s bed she saw a short ladder against the wall; up she climbed and found herself in the hay loft. “I shall sleep up here, grandfather,” she called down to him, “It’s lovely, up e up and see how lovely it is!”
“Oh, I know all about it,” he called up in answer.
In the middle of the night the old man got up. “The child will be frightened,” he murmured. He mounted the ladder and went and stood by the child’s bed. Outside the moonlight was falling through the round window straight on to Heidi’s bed. She lay under the heavy cover lid, her cheeks rosy with sleep, her head peacefully resting on her little round arm, and with a happy expression on her baby face as if dreaming of something pleasant. The old man stood looking down on the sleeping child until the moon disappeared behind the clouds and he could see no more, then he went back to bed.

A Virtual Visit to Stolen Art
Virtual (虚拟的) museums are nothing new these days.
Technology has allowed people to take trips to some of the world’s greatest museums on their couch. Now how about a virtual visit to stolen art
UNESCO is building the world’s first virtual museum of stolen cultural artifacts (文物). Their aim is to raise public awareness of culture heritage (遗产) protection.
“Behind every stolen work lies a piece of history,” said UNESCO Director-General Audrey Azoulay. “We want to place these works back in the spotlight so that more people can notice them.”
The virtual museum works as an educational tool. It will offer visitors 3D images of stolen artifacts. There will also be detailed information about their history.
The project will be designed by Francis Kere. The architect won the famous Pritzker Architecture Prize in 2022. For the museum, he has designed a virtual globe with a spiral (螺旋的) central structure.
When it is opened in 2025, the museum will present 600 pieces of artifacts. One of the most important items is a 3rd-century alabaster stone inscription. It was taken from Awwam temple in Yemen. Visitors will also be able to see an ivory relief from the 7th century BC. The work of a lion attacking a man was stolen from, the Baghdad Museum. A green stone mask looted from the Maya site of Rio Azul will also be on display.
“These are objects that once existed, but we don’t know where they are,” said Ernesto Ottone. He is UNESCO’s assistant director’ general for culture. “We will exhibit them in a space where we can really tell the story and the context behind them.”
“No one has imagined a museum like this,” Azoulay said. “The presentation of each artwork is a deep dive (深入研究) into its universe, its culture, and the society that produced it,” she added.
