21、You don't need to travel far away to write a travel diary. Your writing can start with a family vacation or a weekend getaway. All you need is a destination or a place of departure(出发)!
【1】 Your trip journal can begin before your trip has started. Use your journal to start planning the things you want to do. It can be a cool restaurant where you want to eat, a hike you want to go on or different sights you want to see.
Write about what you imagine it will be. Sometimes when you travel, your destination is wildly different from what you expected. Maybe you expected the local food to be bad but it turned out to be delicious. 【2】 Maybe you thought you would not be comfortable with the climate while you adapted to it. Whatever, try to write it down before you arrive. It will be interesting to compare these predictions to what you have actually experienced.
Write as much as you can during your trip. It is always easier to remember things when they are fresh in your brain, but it may be diluted(冲淡)with time going by. 【3】 Your journals don't have to be long, but letting then express your feelings is the most important.
Add pictures to your journal. 【4】 Combining pictures with your first-hand accounts of what they represented, or what happened when they were taken, will make for a better travel journal.
Write about your trip after you leave. It is important to reflect on your travels, so you can have a new understanding. 【5】

G．This is also a great way to learn about your-self and other people who you have travelled with.
22、Mia, a little monkey, lived with her mother on a banyan tree. Her best friend was Lily, a bird who also lived on the same tree with her family.
One day, the two friends were on their way back home from school. Lily said that Raksha Bandhan was round the corner and she was going to make rachis (保护绳) for her two brothers. She asked Mia if she wanted to help her. Mia said sorry because she had some housework to do. Then they went to their own homes.
In many parts of India and Nepal, Raksha Bandhan is a celebration of the relationship between a brother and a sister. The sister ties a rakhi on the brother’s hand and in return, the brother gives promises to protect her and also gives her a gift.
Mia understood that Raksha Bandhan did not belong to her — she was an only child, so she refused to join Lily. She climbed the banyan tree and sat on a branch (树枝), looking sad. Mia’s mother came up to her and asked why.
Hearing Mia's reason, her mother had an idea, saying, “But you too can celebrate the festival with your brother — this banyan tree!”
“How can a tree be my brother?” asked Mia in surprise.
“This tree has been protecting us for years. We live on it and rest in its shade (树荫). You and your friends play on its branches. So, it ‘plays’ with you just like a brother does,” explained Mia’s mother.
Mia’s face lit up. Oh, yes! The banyan tree was just like her brother! Then she joined Lily at her house and together they made three rakhis.
On the day of Raksha Bandhan, eager (热切的) to celebrate it with her tree brother, Mia woke up early. She tied the rakhi on one of its branches and hugged (拥抱) the tree. “Thank you for being my brother!” said Mia.
【1】What might Lily’s brothers do after receiving her rakhis?
A．Hug the banyan tree.
B．Promise to protect her.
C．Do housework with her.
D．Help her with her studies.
【2】Why did Mia feel unhappy?
A．She didn t like the gift from her brother.
B．Her best friend Lily refused to play with her.
C．She had no one to celebrate the festival with.
D．Her best friend Lily did not want to her.
【3】The banyan tree could be Mia’s brother because of its_______.
A．age
B．role
C．size
D．power
【4】What did Mia do after hearing her mother’s idea?
A．She cleaned her house.
B．She went to find her brother.
C．She climbed the banyan tree.
D．She began to prepare her rakhi.
23、Scientists often compare coral reefs(珊瑚礁) to underwater rainforests, yet unlike the leafy plant base of a forest, corals are animals. The soft creatures are naturally half-transparent and get their brilliant color from algae(藻类) living inside them. When corals experience stress from hot temperatures or pollution, they halt the interdependent relationship with algae, typically pushing them out and turning white. Corals are still alive when they are white, but they're at risk and many eventually die, turning dark brown.
Scientists around the world are looking for means to protect and maybe increase corals. One common option is to create more protected areas — essentially national parks in the ocean. Beyond nature preserves, some conservationists are looking to more hands-on methods. One research center in the Florida Keys is exploring a form of natural selection to keep corals remaining. The reef system in the Keys has been hit hard by climate change and pollution, which is especially tough, because corals there help support fisheries worth $ 100 million every year.
To keep the wild ecosystem alive, Erinn Muller, the center's director, and her team are harvesting samples of the corals that survived the environmental stress naturally, keeping them to make them reproduce, and then reattaching them to the reef. They have 46,000 corals on plastic frames under the sea. So far, the center has regrown over 70,000 corals from five different species on damaged reefs.
In The Bahamas, Ross Cunning, a research biologist at Chicago's Shedd Aquarium, focuses on corals with genes that could make them natural candidates for restoration projects. He published a study of two Bahamian reefs, one that survived an extreme 2015 heat wave, and one that didn't. "We think their ability to deal with these higher temperatures is built into their genes," says Cunning. There's evidence of corals evolving more quickly to resist rapidly warming climate. The big question scientists need investigate, adds Gunning, is how much more heat corals can adapt to.
【1】What does the underlined word "halt" in the first paragraph mean?
A．End.
B．Develop.
C．Strengthen.
D．Weaken.
【2】What do Muller and her team do to save corals?
A．Restore the damaged reefs.
B．Grow corals by hand underwater.
C．Create more protected areas.
D．Move corals to unpolluted areas.
【3】What do Gunning's words suggest?
A．Many corals have been genetically improved.
B．Cooling down the waters is key to rescuing corals.
C．Reasons for corals surviving heat waves are shocking.
D．The highest temperature corals can survive is unclear.
【4】Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A．Relationship between corals and algae
B．Efforts made to save corals
C．Impact of climate warming on corals
D．Survival crisis faced by coral reefs
24、 Monday dawned warm and rainless. Aurelio Escovar, a dentist without a degree, opened his office at six. When he had a handful of instruments arranged on the table, he sat down to polish the false teeth. He seemed not to be thinking about what he was doing, but worked steadily.
The sharp voice of his eleven-year-old son interrupted his concentration.
“Papa”
“What?”
“The Mayor wants to know if you'll pull his tooth”
“Tell him I’m not here.”
He was polishing a gold tooth. He held it at arm's length, and examined it with his eyes half closed. His son shouted again from the little waiting room.
“He says you are, too, because he can hear you”
The dentist kept examining the tooth. Only when he had put it on the table with the finished work did he say, "So much the better. He took several pieces of a bridge out of a cardboard box where he kept the things he still had to do and began to polish the gold.
“Papa”
“What? “ He still hadn't changed his expression
"He says if you don't take out his tooth, he'll shoot you.”
Without hurrying, with an extremely calm movement, he stopped his work and pulled the lower drawer of the table all the way out. There was a revolver(左轮手枪).”OK, ” he said . “Tell him to come and shoot me." He rolled the chair over opposite the door, his hand resting on the edge of the drawer.
The Mayor appeared at the door. He had shaved the left side of his face, but the other side swollen and in pain, had a five-day-old beard
The dentist saw many nights of desperation in his dull eyes. He closed the drawer with his finer tips and said softly, “Sit down”
“Good morning, "said the Mayor.
“Morning,” said the dentist.
While the instruments were boiling, the Mayor leaned his head on the headrest of the chair and felt better. His breath was icy. When he felt the dentist approach, the Mayor held his breath and opened his mouth.
Aurelio Escovar turned his head toward the light. After inspecting the infected tooth, he closed the Mayor's jaw with a cautious pressure of his fingers. "It has to be without anesthesia(麻醉).
"Why?“”
‘Because you have an abscess(脓肿).”
The Mayor looked him in the eye. "All right, he said, and tried to smile
The dentist did not return the smile. He did all the preparation work without looking at the Mayor.
It was a lower wisdom tooth. The dentist spread his feet and grasped the tooth with the hot forceps(钳子). The Mayor seized the arms of the chair with all his strength. The dentist moved only his wrist. Without rancor(怨恨), rather with a bitter tenderness, he said , “Now you will pay for our twenty dead men.”.
The Mayor felt the great pain in his jaw, and his eyes filled with tears. But he didn't breathe until he felt the tooth come out. Then he saw it through his tears. It seemed so foreign to his pain that he failed to understand his torture of the five previous nights.
The dentist gave him a clean cloth. "Dry your tears, "he said.
The Mayor did. He was trembling. While the dentist washed his hands, he saw the shabby ceiling and a dusty spider web with spider's eggs and dead insects.
The dentist returned, drying his hands.”Go to bed,” he said, “and gargle(漱口)”with salt water.
The Mayor stood up, said goodbye with a casual military salute, and walked toward the door, stretching his legs.
“Send the bill, ” he said.
“ To you or the town?
The Mayor didn’t look at him. He closed the door and said through the screen,” __70__”
