Some of the world’s most fascinating
places can be impossible –
or nearly
impossible
–
to get to. War,
natural
disasters and over tourism can
turn a previously popular destination into a no-go
area. But sometimes the reasons
can be
quite fantastic
, as you’ll see from our
selection of locations unlikely be on your bucket
list any time soon...
.
Komodo Island, Indonesia
Komodo Island, famed for its Komodo
dragon population, is closing its doors to
tourists from January 2020.
The
Indonesian island’s resident dragons are under
threat of man stealing. A dragon smuggling ring
was recently
arrested for trying to
sell 41 dragons for $$35,000 (?
26,600)
each.
The World Animal Foundation
estimated that there were only 6,000 wild Komodos
left in 2019. After closure,
the
government will attempt to grow the endangered
Komodo dragon population. There’s no news about
when
tourists will be allowed to
return.
North Sentinel Island, India
North Sentinel Island, a small island
in the Indian Ocean is officially off-limits to
all visitors. Its inhabitants,
the
Sentinelese, live their life completely untouched
by the outside world. The Indian government
forbids contact
with the tribe to
protect them from contracting diseases they have
no immunity against.
The
island’s
tribes
people
do
not
welcome
visitors.
American
missionary(
传教士
),
John
Allen
Chau
was
killed when he illegally
landed on the island in 2018. Attempts to find
back his body have now been called off due
to fears of further attacks and the
risks it could post to the Sentinelese, too.
Maya Bay, Thailand
You’ve probably seen
The Beach
starring Leonardo
DiCaprio, but if not, you might have seen a photo
of one
of your friends posing at the
hot spot. Maya Bay, the beautiful Thai setting of
the popular film, has been overrun
with
tourists in the past few years.
- 2 -
More than 80% of the
bay’s coral has now been destroyed due to
pollution from tourism. Things have got so
bad
that
Thai
authorities
are
closing
the
beach
until
further
notice.
The
government
hopes
that
by
shutting
the
tourist traps
they’ll be able to recover
the
excellent beach’s
ecosystem.
21. Why will
Komodo Island become a no-go place?
A.
Because of war, natural disasters and over
tourism.
B. Because of the
dragon thieves’
stealing and smuggling.
C. Because too many Komodo
dragons die of disease.
D. Because of
the pollution from tourism.
22. What do
we know about North Sentinel Island, India?
A. It is officially announced open to
all visitors.
B. Its people keep in
touch with the outside world.
C. The
Sentinelese are kind and friendly to visitors.
D. Its inhabitants are easily affected
with diseases.
23. Which of the
following lea
ds to the destruction of
Maya Bay’s ecosystem?
A.
Filmmaking.
B.
Natural disaster.
C. Over tourism.
D. Tourist trap.

Colorado’s
Grays P
eak rises 14,278 feet
above sea level, high enough that trees can’t grow
toward the top,
though there are plenty
of bushes and rocks.
It was
August 2018, and Wedelstedt, 56, was on her way
back down the trail with three friends. A storm
was
around the corner, and they were
anxious to get off the mountain. When they
approached a rocky drop of a couple
of
feet, Wedelstedt decided that instead of slowly
moving down on her
bottom
—
the safe way to
go
—
she would
leap. She landed on her left leg.
Then she heard the sudden
sound of something breaking.
Every step
after that was extremely painful. Before long, she
had to stop. As one friend ran down to get help,
a number of other hikers, all
strangers, attempted to help Wedelstedt down the
narrow trail by walking on either
side
of her to support her weight, but that proved slow
and dangerous. “One man was so close to the cliff
I could
see rocks falling down from
where he stepped on them
,” Wedelstedt
says.
Finally, one hiker,
Matt, asked her, “How do you feel about a
fireman’s carry?” Before she knew it, he had
lifted her over his shoulder. “Now, I’m
not tiny,” says Wedelstedt, a former college
basketball star. Matt clearly
couldn’t
carry
her all the way down by himself.
So six hikers and one of her friends took turns
carrying her while
she tried to make
light of a difficult situation: “I told them I
wanted to meet a lot of guys, but this isn’t the
way I
wanted to do it.” Three hours and
t
wo miles later with rocks everywhere,
this human conveyor belt finally met the
medics, who took Wedelstedt to the
hospital.
She has mostly recovered from
her ill-
fated hike, but Wedelstedt
knows she’ll never shake one thing from
that day: the memory of the
band of strangers who came to her
rescue. “I’m still in admiration.”
24. What happened to Wedelstedt?
A. She got stuck in the mountain with
three friends.
B. She chose a safe way to move down a
rocky drop.
C. She found a good method
to make friends with strangers.
D. She went hiking and had her left leg
broken.
25. Which of the following
words can best describe the strangers?
A. Warm-hearted.
B. Painful.
C. Talented.
26. We can know from Paragraph 5 that
________.
A. Wedelstedt met a fireman on her way
back
B. Wedelstedt is a professional
basketball player
C. Wedelstedt was
optimistic toward a difficult situation
D.
the hikers carried Wedelstedt back by using a
conveyor belt
27. What can
we infer from the passage?
- 3 -
D.
Indifferent.
A. No plants can grow on
Colorado’s
Grays Peak.
B. Wedelstedt showed respect and thanks
to those who saved her.
C. Matt went
hiking with Wedelstedt.
D. Six
strangers formed the human conveyor belt .

If
you look
around the streets of
London, you’ll
see
many
methods
people use to move around. Whether it’s
on
the way to work, a trip to the
shops, or a sightseeing journey, there
are people on buses, the Tube, cars,
motorbikes,
bicycles
and
even
roller
skates.
The
roads
are
already
crowded; and now there’s a
new addition: electric, or
“e
-
scooters”.
This traditional children’s vehicle has
become more compl
icated over
the
years.
And
now,
with
the
addition
of
a
small
electric
motor,
it’s
become
a
cheap
and
easy
mode
of
transport.
Scooting around
town
can
be
fun
and
doesn’t
involve
much
effort,
so
it’s
no
wonder
they’re
becoming
increasingly
popular
in
cities
around
the
world.
But
following
what’s
believed
to
be
the
first
fatal
accident
involving
an
electric
scooter
in
the
UK,
questions
are
being
asked
about
their
safety
and
whether traffic
laws should
be changed.
Some scooter riders have
been seen on pavements; others on the road jumping
red traffic lights, adding to the
frustration of motorists stuck in jams.
In the UK, the law states that riding one on the
public highway or pavement
is
forbidden. Riders currently face a ?
300
fixed-penalty notice and six points on their
driving license for doing so.
But,
despite this, it seems the increasing popularity
of e-scooters means they can be seen everywhere.
And now
users are calling on
regulations to be changed.
The UK
government is looking at how safely they can be
used on the road and is “reviewing” the law. But
its
transport
minister,
Michael
Ellis,
has
told
the
BBC
that,
“Micro
mobility
products
are
appearing
in
countries
across the globe and are an exciting
invention for which we know there is demand.
However, safety must always
be our top
priority when considering their use on public
highways in this country.”
There’s no doubt there are dangers in
riding a
two-wheeled scooter. Despite
the fact that some of them can go
faster than 30mph, they sometimes only
have one brake and no lights. They also become
unstable if the rider hits
a large hole
in the surface of a road, and however confident
the rider may be, larger vehicles on the road make
them easy to be hurt. So it seems more
work needs to be done to give e-scooters a safe
and legal space to travel in.
28. Why
are e-scooters popular now?
A. Because
they are traditional children’s
vehicles.
B. Because riding
them is a new way.
C. Because they are
convenient but not expensive.
D.
Because people don’t need a driving
license.
29. Which of the
following is allowed in the UK?
A.
Scooter riders ride on pavements.
B. Scooter riders jump red
traffic lights.
C. Scooter riders ride
on the public highway.
D. Scooter
riders ride them in a park.
30. What
will the UK government most probably do next?
A. Conduct surveys about the safety of
e-scooters.
B. Change the
law and regulations.
C. Develop new
micro mobility products.
D. Forbid the use of e-scooters.
31. Which is the best title of this
passage?
A. Electric Scooter Safety
B.
The Invention of A New Vehicle
- 4 -
C. Ways of Riding E-scooters
D. Traffic
Laws
and Regulations

How do you relax after a
stressful day in the office? There are many
remedies to help you relax, but the best
solution, according to some experts,
lies in the great outdoors. It takes a little
effort to get there but the benefits
can be a perfect thing for our stressed
out lives. I am talking about the activity of
forest bathing.
The Japanese concept of
shinrin-yoku
–
or forest
bathing
–
originates from
the 1980s, when it was introduced
as a
national health programme by the country’s
government. Stressed Japanese workers are today
still relaxing
and reconnecting with
nature. The Forest Therapy Society has proved 62
forest therapy sites in the country and the
forest bathing movement is also on the
rise
in other parts of the world. It
says, “Just as bathing in a hot spring
helps to absorb your cares away, going
for a walk in the woods is said to have a
comforting effect.”
If you’re worried that bathing involves
taking off your clothes, don’t be! This is about
taking time to wander
through woodland
with no fixed plan or route and just completely
involve yourself in the forest atmosphere. Some
health
experts
have
said
that
having
this exposure
to nature
seems
to
promote well-being
and
that’s
particularly
good for people
with mental health issues. A study conducted in 24
forests across Japan found that walking among
trees
lowered blood
pressure,
the pulse
rate,
and
the
levels
of
the
hormone
cortisol(
荷尔蒙皮质醇
),
which
is
released
in response to stress. It also found
phytoncides
—
chemicals given
off by trees, have an anti-
microbia(
抗菌
的
)
effect on humans, improving our immune systems.
Another study carried out a few years
ago by Stanford University in the US, found
similar benefits. Brain
scans showed
reduced activity in an area of the brain linked to
the risk of mental illness in participants who
took a
90-
minute
walk
among
oaks,
birds
and
squirrels.
One
of
the
researchers,
Gregory
Bratman,
said,
an
increasing body
of
evidence showing
that
natural
versus
urban
areas
benefit
us
at
least
emotionally
with
our mood and possibly
also our cognitive(
认知
)
development
too.”
The
evidence seems clear that forest bathing
is a
shot
in
the
arm for
stressed
out
workers,
so
now
is
the
time
to
get
out
and
lose
yourself
in
the
natural
environment
–
you
could even hug a tree as it could be your new best
friend!

forest bathing.

Dogs helping stressed out students
Some
people
say
that
dogs
are
man’s
best
friend
–
good
companions,
loyal
and
loveable.
36
We know about
the amazing help guide dogs give to
blind
people
and,
more
recently,
a
new
role
has
been
found
for
the
animals
–
working as
therapy dogs in universities.
37
Patricia
Pendry
from
the
university
told
the
BBC
that
a
study
of
300
undergraduates
had
found
weekly
hour-long
sessions
with
dogs
brought
to
the
university
by
professional
handlers(
训狗师
) had
made
stressed students at
- 5 -
them to
concentrate, learn and remember information.
Another research has shown that petting
animals can reduce stress hormone levels and
anxiety.
38
The
BBC’s
education correspondent Sean Coughlan writes that
around 1,000 campuses in the US already use
therapy
pets and it’s becoming more
common in the UK.
39
Fiona Suthers, head of clinical skills
at the university,
says that five
Labradors(
拉布拉多
)
had a “strict assessment” to ensure the
students had the right
mood.
Using dogs for therapy can also help
the dogs themselves. In Wales, Swansea University
Students’ Union has
used
rescued greyhounds(
灵
< br>缇
犬
) to
help
students
relax
between
exams.
Sessions
allow mistreated
and abandoned dogs
to
interact
with
humans
and
begin
to
trust
them
again.
Student
Union
education officer
Chloe Hutchinson told the BBC that “a lot of
students have dogs at home and might be a bit
homesick, especially around exam time
w
hen it is stressful and you just want
your home comforts.”
So if
you’re a student who’s been
working like a dog, but you still feel
like you haven’t
a dog’s
chance
in
passing your
exams, think about it.
40
A. Research by Washington State
University, has found spending time with a dog can
help stressed out students.
B.
I don’t know
that
stroking a dog helps me to relax.
C. Of course, they can be more than
just a pet as certain breeds are excellent working
dogs too.
D.
But she adds
“it’s hard to describe the impact of just having a
dog lying down in the corner of a
class.”
E. For example, the
University of Middlesex has employed
“dog
teaching
assistants”
to help stop lonely
students
dropping out.
F. So
it makes sense to introduce them into an
environment where people are stressed.
G
. Maybe introducing a four-
legged friend into your life might be the help you
need.

Raised by a single,
immigrant mother, Veronica W
irges and
her two sisters didn’t grow up with much. She
married her husband with the same
41
. Two years ago, V
eronica and her
husband feared they might be at the
42
of
their
music
careers.
Their
projects
had
all
broken
up
or
finished
and
with
no
more
work
next,
they
considered
43
for good.
One
day when the family was listening to the radio and
heard a
44
contest
announced, Veronica
45
this was their opportunity to get
something more. She called in and after answering
a few questions, had a small
stroke of
good luck,
46
the radio
contest from WFMC Jams. The
47
?
A pair of chance-won tickets to
Bonnaroo, a music festival in
Tennessee.
“It
wasn’t
48
but to me, it was everything because it
showed me
there were bigger things and
49
out there,” Veronica says.
The couple took in the shows and seized the
opportunity. They
50
extra time by
performing at
one of the campgrounds. They were hoping to just
sell a few of their remaining CDs but instead,
they attracted the attention of a
51
who put their story on .
That story led to more work and the
couple
started
an
indie-pop(
独立流行乐
)
band
they
named
Monsterboy.
Monsterboy
officially
52
!
And
they’re now playing
festivals of their own, including Austin’s SXSW.
“Winning

hat
contest
was
like
53
had
stepped
in
and
pointed
us
back
towards
music,”
she
says.
“I
want to

people not to give up because every

big or small,
can have a huge
