Make 2022 your most adventurous year by signing up for one of these trips of a lifetime. Sai to Aldabra Atoll for an attractive journey, walk along the frontiers (边境) of Georgia, and explore different habitats of human and animals. These journeys in the faraway areas are unlike any trip you’ve ever taken before.
Exodus Travels
This once-in-a-lifetime journey visits Aldabra Atoll, one of the most faraway UNESCO World Heritage sites on the planet. Hidden away from the impact of humans.
Aldabra has managed to maintain a population of 152,000 large tortoises (龟). This is the trip for those who are interested in wildlife. The clear waters of the Seychelles are home to 850 species of brightly colored fish that you’ll visit on snorkel and dive excursions (浮潜和潜水游览).
Wild Frontiers Adventure Travel
Wild Frontiers Adventure Travel’s Georgia Walking Tour shows the country’s wild side, with plenty of walks in the Svaneti Mountains mixed with cultural experiences like a visit to the faraway village of Adishi, home to just 12 families.
Natural Habitat Adventures
A nine-day adventure centered around Natural Habitat’s unique luxury (豪华的) base camp near the edge of the Greenland ice sheet. You’ll be in one of the world’s most faraway places (with a maximum of only 11 other travelers in your group), but still have the chance to use hot showers and well-prepared meals. You’ll spend your days exploring the nearby waters, meeting the local Inuit villagers and so on.
Mountain Travel Sobek
Together with expert guides, you’ll track gorillas (大猩猩) through Rwanda’s Volcanoes National Park, getting a rare chance to see these large creatures up close. You’ll also focus your search on another rare creature-the golden monkey.

“Meet me in the conference room with the contracts and a cup of coffee,” my boss barked at me. “Ten minutes.”
I didn’t respond. I stood still as if my shoes had been glued to the floor. I had no intention of taking a cup of anything to anyone, supervisor or not.
I had seen with my own eyes what such behavior did to a woman. It happened to Mrs. Wilson next door. Old Mr. Wilson couldn’t put in his own false teeth without his wife’s assistance, let alone make himself lunch. It was a miserable union. I vowed by age eight that I would never live like her. I adopted the motto: Don’t help those who won’t help themselves.
I rushed to the file room and pulled my phone. I explained to my father what had happened and asked his advice on what to do, only to be asked back. He must have forgotten the unwritten rule between us about not answering a question with a question. Fortunately, I came up with an idea that would have the best of both worlds.
I took up the files and headed for the coffee pot. I took two cups and made two cups of coffee. Then I walked into the boss’ office with a cup of coffee in each hand. I handed my boss a cup of coffee and drank at the same time as him.
“Let’s take a break,” partway through the meeting, my boss stood, saying. “I need more coffee.” I picked up my empty cup. “I do, too,” I said, and handed it to him across the table. “Thanks,” I added, looking at him expectantly. The boss was staggered for a moment, and then took the cup from me.
When I finally left my boss’ office, I hid in the bathroom and called my dad. My father’s laughter on the phone made me feel even prouder.
4. Why does the author mention the Wilsons
A．To show how the couple grew old together.
B．To picture what she will be like when she ages.
C．To tell the story of the old couple.
D．To explain her unwillingness to serve the coffee

C．She intended to play a trick on her mean boss
D．She wanted to save the trouble of doing it again

A．Annoyed.
B．Shocked.
C．Confused.
D．Excited.
7. What can we learn about the author from the text
A．She figured out how to show respect for her superior.
B．She found it practical to seek solutions from her father.
C．She took a sensible approach to standing up for herself.
D．She considered it significant to fight against men bravely.
C
Despite their bad reputation, sharks are significant to the ocean ecosystem and can even help fight climate change.
In the shallows of Shark Bay, Western Australia, seagrass is food for the sea cows, which can eat roughly 40kg of seagrass a day. Sea cows are a rich source of food for tiger sharks. By keeping the sea cow population in control, tiger sharks help seagrass grow well. A flourishing seagrass meadow (草甸) stores twice as much CO2 per square mile as forests do on land.
But tiger shark numbers are decreasing. Off Australia’s northeast coast, tiger sharks are estimated to have fallen by 71 percent. A reduction in tiger sharks means more seagrass consumed and less carbon stored. This raised the question: What if they were absent from the Shark Bay — would the seagrass-dominated ecosystem survive
To find out, researchers led by Rob Nowicki, spent time in Eastern Australia, where shark numbers were lower and sea cows ate seagrass largely undisturbed. “When uncontrolled, sea cows can quickly destroy wide areas of seagrass,” said Nowicki. “When the seagrass recovers, the seagrass community looks different, with more tropical species dominating than before.”
Those findings highlighted the role that tiger sharks were playing in Shark Bay. If their populations continue to decline, the resilience (恢复能力) of carbon-rich ocean ecosystems will likely decrease.
When it comes to increasing shark numbers, there have been movements toward more sustainable (可持续的) fishing, but a majority of the industry have not changed their methods, which is a reason why the population of many ocean predators (捕食者) declines.
Apart from supporting sustainable fishing, Nowicki said the only way to truly protect ocean life is to reduce our global greenhouse gas emissions. “If we are going to preserve our ecosystems in the centuries to come, we need to solve climate change while protecting the species at the same time.”
8. Why are tiger sharks key to the ocean ecosystem
A．They feed on various sea animals.
B．They can store large amounts of CO2.
C．They can prevent the loss of seagrass.
D．They affect the variety of oceanic species.
9. What did Rob Nowicki’s team want to find out in Eastern Australia
A．How sea cows destroy the seagrass community.
B．How shark population influences the ocean ecosystem.
C．What leads to the decreasing number of tiger sharks.
D．What to do to recover the seagrass-dominated ecosystem.
10. What is the main reason for the decrease in tiger shark numbers in Australia
A．Climate change.
B．Seagrass Loss.
C．Habitat destruction.
D．Unsustainable fishing.
11. What is important in protecting ocean life and ecosystems suggested by Nowicki
A．Banning oceanic fishing activities.
B．Solving ocean pollution problems.
C．Protecting oceanic top predators.
D．Decreasing greenhouse gas release.

A study from 2010 said that raising prices by 1% without losing sales can increase profits by 8.7% on average. Getting the prices right can be difficult. Set them too high and you lose customers; set them too low and you leave money on the table.
To make more money, shopkeepers have been turning to price-optimization (优化) systems that predict how customers will respond to price changes. These systems are becoming cleverer thanks to advances in artificial intelligence (AI). While older systems used historical sales data to estimate (估计) price sensitivity for individual goods, the latest AI-powered systems can find relationships between multiple goods. These AI-powered systems use big data to estimate price sensitivity — how much demand increases as the price falls or how much demand decreases as the price goes up-for thousands of products. Price-sensitive (价格敏感的) goods can then be discounted and price-insensitive ones marked up.
All this makes pricing systems “much more three-dimensional”, observes Chad Yoes, the pricing official at Walmart, a supermarket. In February, Starbucks, a chain of coffee shops, expressed pride in its use of AI to price products “on an ongoing basis”. US Foods, a food company, says its pricing system can promote sales and profits.
Price-optimization may make prices change more. “Shopkeepers are pricing faster today than they ever have before,” says Matt Pavich of Revionics, a pricing-software firm. That is especially true in the fast-moving world of e-commerce. But even Walmart changes the prices of many items in its stores 2-4 times a year, says Mr Yoes, up from once or twice a few years ago.
Sysco, a food company, says the AI-powered system allows it to lower prices on “key value items” and raise prices on other products. It can thus increase profits by expanding sales while maintaining profits. That keeps investors content and shoppers sweet.
12. What can be learned from the first paragraph
A．It is sometimes difficult to set the right prices.
B．Getting the prices right can make you lose customers.
C．Raising prices by 1% always leads to an 8.7% increase in profits.
D．The study from 2010 suggests that you leave money on the table.
13. What is the advantage of AI-powered pricing systems over older systems
A．They are more price-sensitive.
B．They make prices change more.
C．They can predict price sensitivity for individual goods.
D．They are able to identify links between various products.
14. According to the text, which of the following products will shopkeepers reduce the price of
A．Starbucks coffee.
B．Price-insensitive goods.
C．Walmart’s online goods.
D．Sysco’s “key value items”.
15. What is the best title for the text
A．Apply AI to Set Prices
B．Raise Prices to Increase Profits
C．Reduce Prices to Promote Sales
D．Use AI to Predict Customer Response

When raindrops fall to the ground in summer, a familiar scent always follows. Many people call this the “smell of rain”. However, rain is made up of odorless (无味的) water. So, where does this smell come from
16. ______ But it actually comes from wet soil. This special odor even has its own name: petrichor (潮土油), which comes from a pair of chemical reactions.
The pleasant smell has long been an interest of scientists since Australian scientists first documented the formation of petrichor in 1964. According to scientists, some plants produce oils during dry periods. 17. ______
Yet, it’s the second reaction that creates the most petrichor. It occurs when chemicals produced by bacteria in soil are released. 18. ______ These bacteria break down and change into simple chemical compounds, providing nutrition for plants. Meanwhile the process also produces geosmin (土臭素), a compound with a distinct earthy aroma (香味).
Lots of animals are sensitive to geosmin but human beings are extremely sensitive to it. When it rains after a long period of dryness, drops of water hit the ground. Geosmin is then released from the surfaces. 19. ______ And it finally gives raindrops their familiar scent. If it rains heavily enough, geosmin will be spread downwind, warning others of coming rain.
20. ______ And the next time someone mentions how much they love the smell of rain, you can prove your intelligence by explaining where that smell comes from.
A．And when it rains, these oils are released into the air.
B．The smell of petrichor is quite pleasant to the human nose.
C．There are a group of microorganisms widely found in soils.
D．Rain can refresh the soil specially when it rains heavily.
E．Scientists found the distinctive smell doesn’t come from rain.
F．The pleasant smell always comes into being with the flow of air.
G．It is further spread around its surroundings with the aid of wind and rain.

Great Moments in the Sports Meet
Our school held an annual sports meet last week, which lasted two days. Various exciting events were held, and all students took an active part in it.
The most impressive moment was the 4×100-meter relay race. Our class runners fought hard and cooperated perfectly. Despite fierce competition, we finally won first place. The cheers and applause from classmates echoed across the playground.
This sports meet offered us a precious chance to experience the charm of sports. It also taught me that teamwork and perseverance lead to success.
