If you want to find a place of interest to spend your summer vacation, think about the following locations.
The Nautilus Maldives
Opened in 2019, this independent, Maldivian owned resort(度假村) is the island nation's only Relais & Chateaux property. It's located off a beautiful sandy island in the Indian Ocean, which has been officially recognized as a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve for its stunning coral reefs and various marine life. Splendid, oversized accommodations are balanced with plain inners, intended to be in harmony with the surrounding natural scenery.
Six Senses Laamu, the Maldives
Sustainability lies at the core of the unique, luxurious resort in the Maldives' isolated Laamu Atoll. The three storied overwater buildings are constructed of local materials, which brings money to nearby island communities. Follow it up with a meal made from produce grown in the island's gardens without using artificial chemicals and freshly caught seafood from local fishermen. Finally, treat yourself to one of the many spa treatments at the Six Senses Spa overlooking the ocean.
Four Seasons Resort Bora Bora, French Polynesia
Built along a small island, the overwater buildings at the Four Seasons Resort Bora Bora rise over the island's blue waters. Inners are simple, inspired by the natural style of a traditional Polynesian village, and all have indoor outdoor spaces with ladders for access to the lake. Choose from one of three views: beach, lake, or, our favorite, mountain.
Banana Island Resort Doha by Anantara, Qatar
On a private island twenty minutes by boat from Qatar's capital city, this resort houses the Persian Gulf's 11 Maldivian inspired overwater buildings on a scale only found in the Middle East. Think: two and three bedroom units (beginning at 2,500 square feet), each equipped with facilities like a private full sized swimming pool.

My memories of my father are divided into parts and shares. Alive, and then dead. Healthy, and then helpless. And further back in time, the first and most division: Present and then absent; loving, and then indifferent(漠不关心的).
He used to be a good writer and loving father. When I was a 16 year old girl, he was fired from his company, a public, gossip based dismissal that he would spend decades refusing responsibility for. This was the first crack that divided my relationship with him into poles of before and after. To escape his shame, he pushed away those who reminded him of it, first divorcing my mother, then alienating(疏远) my sister and I.
As an adult, my relationship with my father was one of low expectations and high boundaries. He spent most of his time travelling. But when he died of heart failure in August, I was knocked off balance by the weight of the blow. I thought, after years of setting up delicate fences around our relationship, that I had already begun letting go. His death delivered a realization: despite years of analyzing his complicated love for me, there were pieces of my father I never understood—until I found my father's notebooks in his cupboard.
In the notebooks, he often collected documentation: train tickets from Rome or a photograph of San Francisco's Prescott Hotel. But what he was also doing was offering fatherly guidance, the kind I could only receive after he died. His life, in which what he had was never quite enough, was eventually exposed. In his final decade, he realized he had built a castle for himself upon sand and regret. Now in his entries, I hear his voice. “Debaleh,” I hear him say, using his pet name for me, “learn from my mistakes.”
I read these pages among my dad's clothes, and wept. I hadn't known that my father, too, lived with that familiar ache for new horizons in his heart, the one that can only be comforted by travelling.
( )24. Why did the author's father keep away from his family
A. They weren't responsible members.
B. He didn't get on well with his wife.
C. Their presence recalled his sad experience.
D. They talked behind others' backs everywhere.
( )25. How did the author feel when hearing of her father's death
A. She was in tears. B. She was in a panic.
C. She got lost in thought. D. She lost her inner peace.
( )26. What advice did the author's father give her
A. Write a journal carefully. B. Travel more for relaxation.
C. Avoid following in his footsteps. D. Obey father's guidance thoroughly.
( )27. What made the author end up crying
A. Finding her father's clothes. B. Getting to know her late father.
C. Failing to look for new horizons. D. Knowing her father's heart disease.

For many of us, Tide is the most squeaky-clean of home helpers. This year, the 4,000 Americans selected this super-cleaner not only as the most trusted detergent brand but also as the single most trusted brand in the Home and Family products category.
When Cincinnati-based manufacturer Protect & Gamble (P&G) set out to create Tide in the 1930s, it was referred to as Project X. The company first sold soap and candles, made from the animal fats. But as the 20th century took shape, kerosene replaced candles, and plant-based cleansers such as Ivory Soap replaced those made from animal fats. Protect & Gamble was seeing a huge chunk of business being washed down the drain. The hope was that the newfangled, entirely synthetic Project X would save it.
“This may ruin the soap business,” P&G’s chairman William Gamble said at one point. “But if anybody is going to ruin the soap business it had better be Protect & Gamble.”
At first, many of the formulas cleaned clothes but left them like sandpaper. It took Byerly and the Cincinnati chemists ten years to come up with a solution. They finally hit upon a mixture that creates molecules that grab hard not only to grease and dirt but also to water. It all just washes away, leaving clean fabric without any soapy remaining. And Tide was an instant success.
Sold first as powder, the product was a huge hit. P&G’s marketing department leaped into action, giving boxes with washing machines and flooding magazines and newspapers with ads showing happy and healthy housewives literally hugging the iconic orange box.
Then it would be turned into a liquid (1984) and later the fantastically profitable Tide Power Pods (2012). The company has developed an almost endless series of varieties: Tide with special scents, Tide with fabric softness, and, most recently, high-powered Tide for environmentally friendly cold-water washes.
And soon, perhaps, the newest variety might be Space Tide, the product of a new partnership between P&G and NASA. Tide is taking a test run to the International Space Station to see how well the detergent cleans and reacts in the low-water, no-gravity environment outside Earth’s atmosphere.
What can be learned from William Gamble’s words
The company P&G must be the first one to ruin the soap business.
The company P&G scolds someone else for ruining the soap business.
The company P&G should be to blame for the ruin of the soap business.
The company P&G has confidence and power to reform the soap business.
29. How many series of Tide product variety have been produced since 2000
A. Four. B. Five. C. Six. D. Seven.
30. What will be probably talked about in the following part of the text
A. The introduction of the product Space Tide.
B. The advantages of the product Space Tide.
C. The space test report of the product Space Tide.
D. The clean ability of the product Space Tide.
31. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. The history of American laundry products.
B. The development of American favorite Tide.
C. The challenge and difficulty of laundry industry.
D. The rise and fall of the company Protect & Gamble.
D
The world is reliant on the climate models that forecast our warming future and guide climate action. But why are climate models so complicated Paulo Ceppi, a lecturer in climate science at the Grantham Institute, explains more as follows.
There’s several layers of uncertainty in making climate predictions. The first one is just knowing how much greenhouse gases will be emitted.That’s why the IPCC considers a range of future emission scenarios. But then within each scenario, there’s an uncertainty that comes from physical processes taking place in the atmosphere and the oceans.
I work on climate sensitivity, which is this basic question: how much global warming can we expect for a given increase in CO2 And to answer that question, we find that a lot of the uncertainty comes from clouds. Even fairly subtle changes in the amount, or type, or other properties of the clouds can have a pretty large effect on the amount of warming.
We can expect clouds to change due to global warming, and in turn those changes could accelerate warming further. There are two main changes. One is that with global warming, we expect the amount of low clouds to decrease. Because clouds act a bit like an umbrella and reflect sunlight back to space. If we have fewer of those umbrellas, then the surface ends up warming more as it absorbs more sunlight. And then the other is that high clouds will rise to even higher altitudes. That will increase their greenhouse effect, because as well as reflecting sunlight, clouds also have a greenhouse effect of their own. It could be described as blanket. If clouds rise, this blanket effect actually increases.
These effects were already in the models, just with large uncertainty. So on average, it seems that models were actually getting it right. We’re not suddenly finding that they are going to be a lot worse, but it’s more that we’re able now to reduce the range of uncertainty in these predictions.
Paulo Ceppi explains that for the climate scientists, it’s a challenge sometimes to talk about these uncertainties. We want to be downright, but at the same time we don’t want to appear as if we don’t know what we’re talking about. That’s why I think it’s also important to talk about the known facts, for example, that increasing greenhouse gases does cause global warming: there is absolute consensus(共识)on that.
Which of the following statement will the author agree with
Clouds mainly lead to the uncertainty of global warming.
The higher altitude the clouds rise, the less greenhouse effect is.
The scientists have known the amount of the greenhouse gases emission.
The scientists are unable to reduce the range of certainty in the climate prediction.
What is the author’s purpose of writing paragraph 4
To show the difficulty in figuring out the uncertainty.
To call on people to be aware of environment protection.
To teach people to learn more about the findings on clouds.
To introduce the interaction effect between clouds and climate.
What does the underlined word “they” in paragraph 5 refer to
A. Models B. Predictions.
C. Effects D. Uncertainty
What’s Paulo Ceppti’s attitude to the uncertainties in making climate models
A. Honest. B. Puzzled.
C. Indifferent. D. Doubtful.

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
For years, research has linked skipping breakfast with increased BMI (body mass index), but few studies have been carried out into the effect of the other meals of the day.
However, a study conducted at Osaka University concluded that not eating dinner is a significant predictor of weight gain and obesity. __36__ As part of their annual check ups, the students were asked how often they ate breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Researchers also took into consideration the time of eating, whether participants' meal habits changed over the course of the study, and lifestyle factors.
__37__ But the researchers found that those who did so all the time were more likely to be older, more overweight, a smoker or drinker, to sleep for a shorter period of time, and skip other meals more frequently.
These results suggest that skipping dinner, which was much less popular than skipping breakfast, could result in weight gain and a higher likelihood of being overweight than skipping breakfast. It was significantly associated with weight gain of 10% or more, and having a BMI over 25, which is classed as overweight or obese. __38__
The researchers suggested that the reason why skipping dinner could lead to weight gain is that it makes people hungrier so they end up eating more over the course of the day. __39__ That's because dinner is typically a meal that lends itself to nutritious foods like lean(少脂的) proteins and vegetables.
The researchers note that their study had drawbacks: __40__ Additionally, they didn't take into account factors like exercise or depression.
A. BMI has its limitations after all.
B. Besides, skipping dinner may mean a lower quality diet.
C. It should be repeated to assess a wider group of people.
D. Skipping lunch was more likely to bring about the same outcomes.
E. It followed 20,000 subjects overall above 18 over an average of three years.
F. The number of students who said they sometimes skipped dinner was small.
G. Students skipping dinner has a stronger association with weight gain and obesity.
