Starting in Darwin our small group stepped onboard a comfortable vehicle designed for the terrain (地形) in the region. We enjoyed a warm welcome onboard from our experienced Journey Director, Gordon, whose knowledge about the Northern Territory made the trip truly special. One of the things I enjoyed most was listening to Gordon sharing stories about our location and where we were travelling next. His in-depth information and stories about travelling in the Top End made us all feel like the locals!
One of the first highlights on the trip is Litchfield National Park with a stop at Wangi Falls for a chance to jump in and take a swim in the clear pool beneath the falls. This refreshing (使人精力充沛的) pool set the tone for the many Northern Territory highlights we would experience over the next few days. Everyone felt like a new person coming out of the pool.
The following day took us to Kakadu National Park. Seeing the beauty of Kakadu from both the ground and sky reflects the hugeness of this wilderness area. From the sky, you can see the crocodiles (鳄鱼) in the rivers. From the ground you see the remarkable plants and animals up close; the entire park is enveloped by natural beauty. This experience comes close to the amazing wildlife and habitats you’d find in Africa.
Then we travelled to Nourlangie, or Burrungkuy in the local indigenous (土著的) language, arriving armed with insider knowledge about what we were going to see. This UNESCO World Heritage-listed rock art site is known for its indigenous rock art, offering a fascinating record of thousands of years of indigenous life. Once we arrived, we took a short walk to the rock art sites with paintings dating back over 20,000 years. The stories behind these sites reflect how the indigenous people have survived and carried on their traditions for thousands of years.
On our last day, we stopped at Edith Falls, where some of the group who were training for mountain climbs hiked up to another swimming spot at the top of the falls. On arrival in Darwin, we said a tearful goodbye to our Journey Director Gordon who helped to create a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

B．He had a good idea of the local area.

25．How did the author feel after visiting Wangi Falls

A．It involved lots of danger.
B．It was a road and flight trip.
C．It allowed him to go hiking there.
D．It was different from trips to Africa.
27．Which can best describe the author’s trip to Nourlangie

We all know that exercise is good for your health, but some kinds of exercise may be better than others.
Running, for example, may help to protect against heart disease and other health problems. Running may also help you live longer. Researchers say it is not important how far you run. It also does not matter how fast or even how often you run. As advertisements for the running shoes Nike say, “Just do it.”
Recently, researchers studied more than 55,000 adults.About one fourth of the adults reported running regularly. The study found these runners were considerably less likely than non-runners to die of any form of disease, including heart disease. In fact, the runners usually lived three years longer than the non-runners.
This study lasted 15 years. During that time, more than 3,400 of the individuals died. About 1,200 of the deaths were linked to heart disease, a heart attack or pared to non-runners, runners showed 30 percent lower risk of death by any causes. Also, runners compared to non-runners showed 45 percent lower risk of death by cardiovascular (心血管的) disease.
The runners in the study ran between 10 and 16 kilometers per hour. Slower runners, and those who only ran once or twice a week, were helped nearly as much as those who ran faster and further. Researchers looked at the running over time and found that persistent runners (over six years) showed the biggest benefits.
To stay healthy, doctors suggest that adults up to age 65 do 150 minutes of moderate (适度的) exercise every week. They say these individuals need 75 minutes of energetic exercise, like running, every week for good health.
28．For running, the most important is that you should 　　　.
A．do it at a certain time
B．keep it and never give it up
C．make it an everyday activity
D．do it for a certain distance at a time
29．What have the researchers discovered
A．How fast and how often one runs matter a lot.
B．Over one third of non-runners will die of heart disease.
C．Runners are less likely to die of disease than non-runners.
D．One should run more often to benefit most from running.
30．According to the text, how should a 63-year-old man go running
A．He should try to run as long as he can.
B．He should be sure to run slowly and safely.
C．He should keep running at least 30 minutes a day.
D．He should run 5 times a week and 15 minutes every time.
31．What is the best title for the text
A．How to Be a Wise Runner
B．For a Longer Life, Go Running
C．A Study on Science of Movement
D．Relations Between Running and Health

Move Earth—It’s Not Science Fiction
LONDON—Scientists have found an unusual way to prevent our planet from overheating: move it to a cooler spot. All you have to do is send a few comets(彗星)in the direction of Earth, and its orbit will be changed. Our world will then be sent spinning into a safer, colder part of the solar system.
This idea for improving our climate comes from a group of US National Aeronautics and Space Administration(NASA)engineers and American astronomers. They say their plan could add another six billion years to the useful lifetime of our planet—effectively doubling its working life.
The plan put forward by Dr. Laughlin, and his colleagues Don Korycansky and Fred Adams, needs carefully directing a comet or asteroid so that it passes close by our planet and sends some of its gravitational energy to Earth.
“Earth’s orbital speed would increase as a result and we would move to a higher orbit away from the Sun, ”Laughlin said.
Engineers would then direct their comet so that it passed close to Jupiter or Saturn. The comet would pick up energy from one of these giant planets. Later its orbit would bring it back to Earth, and the process would be repeated.
In the short term, the plan provides an ideal way to global warming, although the team was actually concerned with a much greater danger. The Sun is certain to heat up in about a billion years and so“seriously compromise” our biosphere(生物圈)—by cooking us.
That’s why the group decided to try to save Earth.
The plan has one or two worrying aspects, however. For a start, space engineers would have to be very careful about how they directed their asteroid or comet towards Earth. The smallest miscalculation(误算)in orbit could fire it straight at Earth—with deadly consequences.
There is also the question of the Moon. As the current issue of Scientific American magazine points out, if Earth was pushed out of its current position, it is“most likely the Moon would be stripped away from Earth”. This would greatly change our planet’s climate.
32．What makes the scientists plan to move Earth
A．A few comets are moving to the direction of Earth.
B．Earth’s working life is coming to an end soon.
C．Earth will become too hot for mankind to keep alive.
D．The moon is moving farther and farther away from Earth.
33．If the plan is successful, Earth will have a working life of　　　years.
A．12 billion B．6 billion
C．18 billion D．24 billion
34．What serious problems might the plan cause according to the passage
A．The comet might hit Earth and man might lose the Moon.
B．Earth might be moved too far away and man might be frozen to death.
C．The comet might hit Jupiter or Saturn and never return to Earth.
D．Earth’s working life might be greatly shortened.
35．What does the underlined word“compromise”mean
A．Provide. B．Benefit.
C．Share. D．Endanger.
七选五
A few years ago, I was giving a presentation to the CEO of a company. Through the entire meeting time, the CEO sat at the conference table with his arms tightly crossed without a smile. I was sure that he was not satisfied, but later his assistant told me her boss was impressed with my presentation. Suddenly, I realized that, it was his usual behavior. 36 Here are three more: ignoring the context, finding meaning in a single gesture, comparing with a proper culture.
First, context is king. The same nonverbal gestures can take on totally different meanings in different contexts. You can’t really make sense of someone’s nonverbal message unless you understand the circumstances behind it. For example, if you yawn in a staff meeting because you were up early for an international business call, let people know why you’re tired. 37
Then, people are constantly trying to evaluate your state of mind by monitoring your body language. But often they will assign meaning to a single nonverbal gesture. Generally speaking, people take more notice of any sign that indicates you’re in a bad mood and not to be approached. 38 So, you may be more comfortable standing with your arms folded across your chest, but others judge that single gesture as resistant and unapproachable.
When I talk about culture, I’m referring to a set of shared values that a group of people hold. 39 More importantly, they are the kind of criteria by which people judge others. We all have cultural biases that regard some nonverbal behaviors as normal and right and others as strange or wrong. What’s proper and correct in one culture may be ineffective or even rude in another.
40 Understanding them, and trying not to make the same ones, will help you display your nonverbal ability.
A．Such values affect how members of the group think and act.
B．Nonverbal signals are very common in our daily life.
C．These are people’s most common mistakes when they read your body language.
D．As with me, when people don’t know your usual behavior they can easily jump to the wrong conclusion.
E．Without this context, you’ll look like you’re just bored.
F．If they don’t know the context, embarrassment will appear.
G．This is because the human brain pays more attention to negative messages than it does to positive ones.

Today I had two exams, physics in the morning and English in the afternoon. Now I was waiting outside the exam room, upset. Lily looked back at me, then looking away quickly. I thought she must be guilty. I was angry with her, who was good at all subjects. The reason was that she promised to help me review for the physics exam, my worst subject, but finally ate her words ignoring all my calls and texts. I went to her house, but nobody answered the door. I didn’t know what had happened. When Mr. Green came, he let all the students go into the exam room.
In the middle of the exam, I raised my head, seeing Lily sitting in front of me, holding her phone on her knee under the desk and reading from it. I felt greatly shocked. Was that how Lily always getting such good grades I didn’t know what to do.
After the physics exam I wanted to talk to Lily, but couldn’t find her anywhere. Then I went to the library to study, but couldn’t concentrate. I didn’ t know what to do about Lily. “Lily is my friend, so I should trust her, ”I thought, “but what if she really does something wrong ”Just then, Mr Green walked by. I told all that to Mr Green without a second thought.
In the afternoon I was sitting behind Lily again in the English exam, feeling terrible. Mr. Green wanted me to look at him and nod my head if I saw Lily using her phone again. Although having confidence in Lily, I was still a little worried. I prayed in my heart that Lily would never look at her phone in the exam again, but it seemed that God didn’t hear me.

And I’m sorry that I haven’t kept in touch with the friends I made in college. I often get letters from the readers though, and I try to get out of the house at least once a day. From time to time, I give lectures in public libraries or teach courses at colleges in North America. But if I ever run out of ideas or I start suffering from loneliness, I’ll give up writing books. Then maybe I’ll start a new job where I work with lots of people and I can have a conversation whenever I feel like one.

I was working on the last question when I saw that Lily had her phone under the desk. Though feeling uneasy and restless, I looked at Mr. Green and nodded. With her eyes glued to the phone, it wasn’t until the teacher patted on her back that Lily noticed Mr. Green. Immediately, Lily was asked to leave. Lily rushed out of the class, crying all the way. Instead of feeling relaxed, I had ants in my pants. I felt guilty for telling Mr. Green about it, which had resulted in Lily’s not finishing her exam.
Walking towards the school gate, I heard footsteps behind me. I turned to find it was Lily who had just come out of the teachers’ office. Feeling embarrassed, I wanted to run away. Nevertheless, Lily stopped me and said, “I’m sorry I haven’t kept my promise to help you review, but my father has been badly ill for two weeks. Today he had a significant operation. I was so worried about him that I kept on reading the texts on the phone sent by my mother to get the latest news about him, so Mr. Green forgave me. Can you forgive me ” “Of course! Let’s go to the hospital to see your father.” I couldn’t wait to reply.
