Where should an adventurous tourist go? After you've done sightseeing in London, shopping in New York, tasted the local food in Paris, and danced to your heart's content at the Brazilian Carnival, where else can you go? What exotic (异国风情的) tourist destination awaits you?
Well, Antarctica sounds like the holiday of a lifetime! It's considered the last great wilderness on Earth. Just a few scientists in research stations share the icy landscape with penguins and other animals which can cope with the low temperatures.
Tourism began in Antarctica in the 1950s and it's still a small scale. About 37,000 tourists are expected there this season, but many won't even leave the boat.
The BBC's Juliet Rix visited the frozen continent and asked herself if she should be there at all, causing potential problems to such a sensitive environment. Her tour guide admitted that all visitors leave footprints and they all go to the same place, the accessible coastline, which is also where the penguins and seals go to breed.
But some people believe that if carefully controlled, tourism can be good for Antarctica. It has no native population and it needs advocates. Visitors to the icy continent might be ready to support and even to fund its preservation. And they're likely to engage in the discussion about global warming, which has led to the melting of glaciers.
According to Rix, guidelines are followed when you're about to set foot in Antarctica and tourists have to disinfect (为……消毒) their boots to make sure no alien species are introduced.
And once on land, there's no eating or smoking. Rocks, bone fragments — nothing should be taken as a souvenir and nothing should be left behind. Tourists fortunate enough to visit Antarctica must be aware that this is not their home and keep their fingers crossed that future generations will also be able to enjoy such breathtaking views.
【1】According to the second paragraph, we can learn that ________.
A．Antarctica has become the best place for people to travel
B．only scientists can be allowed to go to Antarctica
C．Antarctica is less affected by human activities
D．no animals can survive in Antarctica except penguins
【2】Juliet Rix's travel in Antarctica mentioned in the fourth paragraph indicates that ________.
A．governments should take measures to stop tourists from going to Antarctica
B．whether tourists should go to Antarctica or not should be considered carefully
C．the animals' habitat in Antarctica has been seriously affected by tourism
D．only journalists begin to pay attention to the environmental protection in Antarctica
【3】Which of the following statements is TRUE according to Rix?
A．Tourists can eat and smoke in Antarctica.
B．Tourists can take something they like from Antarctica.
C．Tourists can throw away something they don't need in Antarctica.
D．Tourists can enjoy the beautiful scenery in Antarctica.
【4】Which of the following is the best title of this passage?
A．Why can't tourists go to Antarctica?
B．How can tourists go to Antarctica?
C．Should tourists go to Antarctica?
D．Are tourists allowed to go to Antarctica?

Developing healthy eating habits starts from childhood, therefore it is important for parents to teach and provide children with a healthy diet. DPHSS administrator of the Bureau of Nutrition Services, Charlie Morris told KUAM News, “A healthy diet for a child consists of a lot of fruits and vegetables in the diet limiting the amount of simple sugars in the diet and high fat food and highly processed food.”
This means staying away as much as possible from food such as chips, cookies, candies and sugary drinks, as all children need to have meals which involve a well-balanced diet. Community nutritionist Thelma Romoso said, “The fruit, the vegetable, the grain, the protein, and also the milk, the diary product, so for the fruits it’s easy for a mother to go into the two plus three concept of fruits and vegetables or five a day.”
This concept means that there are at least two servings of fruits a day, three servings of vegetables a day which can be served for lunch and dinner. As for protein parents can make a variety of dishes from chicken, beef, fish or even dried beans to pledge the child gets three servings a day.
Morris said that the child’s hunger level controls how much is eaten and the parent controls what and when the meal is offered, saying, “Mom needs to ensure that the food offered is good food for the child to eat and throughout the day depending on how active they are, snacks are not a bad thing, so the mom should offer good kinds of snacks.”
When it comes to preparing your child’s lunch and snacks for school, make sure to keep in mind that the food you provide should not only be a source of energy but also be nutritionally beneficial such as fresh fruits, and whole grain bread. But parents must be sure to remember that a good nutritional diet must be balanced with physical activity, namely it is important that children get outside and run around and play and get activity in addition to eating a good diet.
【1】What does the author intend to tell us in the passage?
A. Choose healthy food and snacks for your child.
B. Fruits and vegetables are good for your child.
C. Take steps to provide a good lunch for your child.
D. Make various and delicious dishes for your child.
【2】According to Charlie Morris we can know that_________.
A. mothers should prepare delicious food by themselves
B. highly processed food should be reduced in daily life
C. sugars and high fat exist in few kinds of food
D. active children prefer more and more snacks
【3】It can be inferred from the passage that _________.
A. fresh fruits are often ignored by children
B. a good nutritional diet may cost too much
C. choosing healthy food is linked with income
D. parents play a very important role in children’s healthy diet
23、Among various programmes, TV talk shows have covered every inch of space on daytime television. And anyone who watches them regularly knows that each one is different in style. But no two shows are more opposite in content, while at the same time standing out above the rest, than the Jerry Springer and the Oprah Winfrey shows.
Jerry Springer could easily be considered the king of “rubbish talk”. The contents on his show are as surprising as they can be. For example, the show takes the ever-common talk show titles of love, sex, cheating, and hate, to a different level. Clearly, the Jerry Springer show is about the dark side of society, yet people are willing to eat up the troubles of other people’s lives.
Like Jerry Springer, Oprah Winfrey takes TV talk show to its top. But Oprah goes in the opposite direction. The show is mainly about the improvement of society and different quality of life. Contents are from teaching your children lessons, managing your work week, to getting to know your neighbors.
Compared to Oprah, the Jerry Springer show looks like poisonous waste being poured into society. Jerry ends every show with a “final word”. He makes a small speech about the entire idea of the show. Hopefully, this is the part where most people will learn something very valuable.
Clean as it is, the Oprah show is not for everyone. The show’s main viewers are middleclass Americans. Most of these people have the time, money, and ability to deal with life’s tough problems. Jerry Springer, on the other hand, has more of a connection with the young adults of society. These are 18-to-21-year-olds whose main troubles in life include love, relationship, sex, money and drug. They are the ones who see some value and lessons to be learned through the show’s exploitation.
【1】Compared with other TV talk shows, both the Jerry Springer and the Oprah Winfrey are ____.
A. more interesting B. more formal
C. more detailed D. unusually popular
【2】Which of the following is likely to be a topic of the Oprah Winfrey show?
A. Family income planning. B. Nation hatred.
C. A new type of robot. D. Street accident.
【3】We can learn from the passage that the two talk shows_____.
A. have become the only ones of its kind
B. attract different people
C. appear at different times of the day
D. exploit the weaknesses in human nature
【4】Which statement about the passage is Not true? ______
A. Jerry Springer show is like poisonous waste, so nothing can be learnt from it.
B. The two kinds of talk shows are opposite in content.
C. Opera Winfrey show is helpful for those middleclass Americans
D. Jerry Springer show attracts those who are young and in trouble.
24、 “Today, technical innovations dominate our everyday life in many areas. New technologies, however, always are associated with risks-and these are also seen by laymen,” says Christoph Böhmert, first author of the recently published study and researcher of the Science Communication Group of KIT's Institute for German Studies. “It is crucial to enable adequate communication between science and society, which does not only consider scientific findings, but also concerns of the population.” The study clearly showed that communication of risks may be complicated sometimes. Information on efficient precautions was found to lead to an increased risk perception by the recipients of the information.
In their study, the researchers analyzed communication about a technology that has become indispensable in our life-mobile communications and the electromagnetic fields(电磁场) on which it is based. All over the world, radiation protection authorities, such as the German Federal Office for Radiation Protection, communicate the current state of research into risks of electromagnetic fields as follows: Investigations made and all findings obtained so far do not allow any conclusions to be drawn with respect to mobile communications being a risk for human health. But, the experts continue, there still are knowledge gaps as regards long-term impacts. Then, measures are recommended to reduce exposure of the individual to electromagnetic fields.
It had been known from previous studies already that information on precautions may increase worries. It had been suspected that people conclude from the recommendation of precautions that there really is a risk. This effect was not confirmed by the recent study. The scientists rather attributed the increased worries to a lack of knowledge about the propagation(传播) of electromagnetic fields.
Within the framework of the study, the recommended precautions were submitted to 1717 Australians, together with one of six information brochures providing scientific background information. When test persons were given not only the recommendations, but also explained why observation of these tips strongly reduces their exposure to electromagnetic fields, worries increased. For example, scientists explained to the test persons that telephone conversations with a headset largely reduce exposure. When a mobile phone is located ten centimeters instead of just one centimeter away from the ear, the electric power absorbed by the ear is about one hundredth of the initial value. Hence, their own mobile phone usually causes an exposure that by far exceeds that of mobile communications stations that are generally referred to as “cellphone towers”. While the scientists wanted to explain the effectiveness of precautions, test persons mainly considered this information to be an indication of their mobile phone-not the transmission towers-being dangerous. As a result, they perceived increased risk potentials for telephone conversations with their mobile phones.
“The study reveals that messages on precautions and information are a double-edged sword in terms of subjective risk perception. Their use should be far better understood,” Boehmert says.
【1】Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A.Adequate information on efficient precautions can relieve the concerns of the public.
B.Mobile communications definitely do harm to people's health in the long run.
C.Information about technologies and their risks may have undesired side effects.
D.Observation of the precautions can help reduce the concerns of the public.
【2】According to the passage, we can conclude that the best way to relieve the inappropriate worries is to _______.
A.enable the users to know better of science and technology
B.produce new electric products with a lower radiation value
C.provide the public with less information on effective precaution
D.inform the public about the potential risks with more patience
【3】The underlined word “precaution” ( first appears in paragraph 1) has the closest meaning to _______.
A.introduction B.intention
C.recommendation D.prevention
【4】Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?
A.Science and Technology: A Double-edged Sword
B.Technical Innovation: Worries and Information
C.Science and Technology: Security Tips for Users
D.Technical Innovations: Effectiveness of Precautions
