U.S. News & World Report recently ranked the best countries for adventure, based on each country's score across five features: fun, friendliness, climate, scenery, and charm.
Brazil
With a perfect 10 on both the "fun" and "charm" scores, the country's wide landmass makes it easy to explore vastly varying landscapes in completely different ways.Visitors can go from surfing the Pororoca on the Amazon River to resting on a Caribbean-like beach on the islands off the eastern coast. Maybe they like exploring some of the unique places, like the white dunes (沙丘) of Lencois Maranhenses or the wild look of Ilha Grande.
Italy
While Italy might be best known for its food,art and architecture,the country has a more actively adventurous side too, ranking highest in the “scenery" score.
In Catania, Sicily, people can swim in the deepest blue sea and after few hours be on the top of the highest active
volcano in Europe----Etna. From one village to the next, from valley to hilltop, the culture changes, the food varies and even the language can be different.
Spain
With its sky-high scores in "friendliness" and "fun",adventure in Spain is always as close as the nearest street, say residents. The thing people most enjoy in Spain is the street life.
Besides, if you love winter, head for Madrid, which is surrounded by mountains and has three ski resorts within an hour's drive, while warm weather lovers are better off in beachfront Barcelona.
Thailand
Combining high scores in both "scenery" and "fun",Thailand attracts an eclectic(兼容并蓄的)mix of people that make for an adventurous atmosphere throughout the country.This can best be experienced on the island of Koh Phangan where the popular Full Moon Party is held each month.
People looking for more traditional exciting adventure should head for Chiang Mai to try whitewater rafting on the Mae Taeng River,or attempt waterfall abseiling(索降) at the Doi Inthanon National Park.
46. In Italy,you can .
A. rest on a Caribbean beach
B. swim in the largest sea in the world
C. enjoy the scenery on the top of Etna
D. appreciate more friendliness than in Spain
47. Where is the eclectic spirit best shown in Thailand
A. At the Doi Inthanon National Park.
B. On the island of Koh Phangan.
C. On the Mae Tang River.
D. In Chiang Mai.
48. Which country ranks highest in the "fun"score
A.Brazil.
B.Italy.
C. Spain.
D.Thailand.
B
I was out of work, doing nothing but passing the time when I came across an advertisement where you could apply to be a volunteer in a blood donation camp. When I was in college, I tried to donate blood for several times, but I failed because I was underweight.After that it never occurred to me to donate again, so the ad caught my attention. I dialled the number and volunteered for it.
It was fun volunteering for it. The blood donation camp was set up every three months, so I used to go out and meet new and old donors. It was a sort of picnic for me till one day a teenage girl came up to the camp.
“Hello! Um,I'm suffering from hemolytic anemia(溶血性贫血),so I just want to know if there is an arrangement in the camp for plasma (血浆) donors " she asked.
To be frank, I could not even catch what she was suffering from, but I was sure I heard"anemia". Though a layman in biology, at least I knew "anemia" had something to do with a deficiency(缺乏)of blood in a person. I recalled all the key points of my biology classes just not to make a fool of myself there but still said,"I'm sorry I didn't get your question. What are you suffering from "
"I'm suffering from hemolytic anemia. It is a disorder where the red blood cells are destroyed before their normal life span. In every 120 days, I undergo a blood transfusion," she replied.
"Oh, I'm sorry, but clearly you need blood in your body. Then why do you .…."
She smiled and interrupted me, "I just want to donate the plasma. You know, it is because of people like you that I'm able to stand here. Everything I do is a gift from people who donate blood. I'm so grateful to all of you and I also want to participate in saving lives. I want to donate plasma in case there is someone who needs a transfusion of plasma."
I was speechless. I had never taken blood donation seriously. For me, it was just a day of fun, laughing with others and eating free ice cream. Here I was standing before a person who was sick but still willing to help others. So I urge everyone to donate blood as much as they can.It saves lives! It truly does!
49. Why did the advertisement appeal to the author
A. She had never managed to donate blood before.
B. She needed to do something for a living.
C. She wanted to help more people in need.
D. She thought it interesting to do the work.
50. What does the underlined word "layman" in paragraph 4 refer to
A. Genius. B. Beginner.
C.Expert. D. Nonprofessional.
51. What was the purpose of the girl's plasma donation
A. To call on more people to donate blood.
B. To give back to society for saving her life.
C. To help those having financial difficulties.
D. To reduce the number of blood transfusions.
52. Which of the following best shows the author's emotional changes when talking with thegirl
A. Worried → grateful. B. Confused → ashamed.
C. Amused → regretful. D.Annoyed → embarrassed.
C
File it under strange things cats do! Last month, a post made
thousands of people do some rather strange behavior themselves:taping a square on the floor and seeing if their cat would sit in it.Evidently,a lot of feline(猫科的)friends ended up sitting in these pretend boxes their people made, according to the Washington Post.But why Why do cats love boxes-even outlines(轮期)of boxes
Well, why do cats do anything they do People have been trying to figure that out for the past 4,000 years. Feline behavioral scientists say that cats love boxes because seeking out confined(封闭的)spaces is the nature of the larger species from which the domesticated(被驯养的)cats evolved.Out in the wild,confined spaces allow felines to protect themselves and track their prey (捕食物) according to Live Science. A study out of Utrecht University in the Netherlands showed that hiding in boxes significantly reduces cats' stress levels and can even make them more willing to interact with humans overall. Another study suggests that they are drawn to boxes because they are more comfortable at a higher temperature than most of us keep our homes. Thus, the box provides them with a way to stay warm.
One Reddit user guessed that the ancient Egyptians kept what we now know as the domesticated cat having a natural preference for sitting in boxes because it helped to keep their pets from wandering. "By the hundredth generation or so, even the outline of a box was enough .…. and that habit is still present in them to this day." This needs more scientific evidence.But it could help to explain why a cat would be drawn to a tape-on-the-floor box.
53. What does the author mainly want to introduce by mentioning that post
A. Cats can easily get fooled.
B. Cats are a very strange animal.
C. Cats have a preference for boxes.
D. Cats love playing with their owners.
54.According to feline behavioral scientists, why do cats love confined spaces
A. They put their prey in confined spaces.
B. They want to interact with humans this way.
C.They get used to reducing stress in confined spaces.
D. They've evolved this interest from the early bigger cat family.
55.Which of the following explanations remains to be proved
A.Cats need to keep their body warm.
B. Cats feel more comfortable in the box.
C. Cats were made to keep still in the box.
D. Confined spaces bring cats a sense of security.
56. What would be the best title for the text
A. When do cats develop a taste for boxes
B. Why do cats do anything felines do
C. Why do cats have strange behavior
D. Why do cats love boxes
D
On August 3, 2020, a New Jersey schoolteacher named Julia Mooney put on a grey button-down dress and wore it to work. She wore it the next day and the next. In fact, she continued to wear that same dress for 100 days in a row. Mooney wanted to get people---her middle school students, in particular---thinking about fashion in a new way and how we live in what she describes as a "culture of excess", closets overflowing with clothes far more than we need.
At first, Mooney said nothing to her students about her experiment. There was no formal class discussion until several weeks later, at which point the students were responsive. Mooney said that her students could really understand the idea that we need to judge each other based on what we do and not what we wear. "As they try to define themselves the students are often identifying with brands or superficial(表面上的)things. Many seemed excited to have a reason to talk about how silly all of that really is."she said.
A quest for greater simplicity is partly what inspired Mooney in the first place. On her website, she wrote that "spending a long time thinking and worrying about what to wear in the morning will be a thing of the past". It also solved the problem of limited closet space in an old house.
If there was a tear (破洞)Mooney patched it with her sewing machine. She was careful with it so she wore an apron(围裙) to keep it clean---just like people did in years gone by.She washed the dress on weekends.
“The challenge I'm presenting is this: Let's think before we buy it, wear it, throw it away and buy again. Are we just perpetuating(使持续)a culture that defines us based on what we're wearing rather than what we're doing What if we spent our energy trying to be good,interesting humans instead of trying to look good and interesting " she said.
Mooney herself is back to wearing pants to work, but the effect of the experiment lingers.She said, "I'm expressing my interest in the health of our planet and the people who occupy it,while channeling less of my energy into my wardrobe and more into loving my children, being patient with my students and embracing my day-to-day existence."
57. Why did Julia Mooney wear the same dress continuously
A. She liked that dress most.
B. She tried to save time and money.
C. She had to follow a fast fashion trend.
D. She wanted to arouse people's reflection.
58. Which word best describes the students' attitude to the culture of judging people by theirappearance
A. Opposed. B. Indifferent.
C.Uncertain. D. Optimistic.
59. What did the author mainly talk about in paragraph 4
A.The aim Mooney wanted to achieve.
B. The influence Mooney was trying to exert.
C. Efforts Mooney made to keep the plan going well.
D. Difficulties Mooney encountered in carrying out the plan.
60. What can we learn from the last paragraph
A. It is our responsibility to protect the earth's environment.
B. Mooney is putting more energy into worthwhile things.
C. Mooney doesn't care what she wears every day.
D. People should be grateful for their daily lives.

Like many children across the United States, Emerson Weber, 11, is sheltering at home,which makes it hard to connect with people the way she'd like. So the fifth-grader decided to ramp up her letter writing.
Emerson, who already wrote an average of five to ten letters per week, decided to drop an extra note to her own mailman. "In return, she's gotten dozens of letters, a sign of how important human connection is during the pandemic," said her dad, who shared the story on the Internet.
In her note to mailman Doug Scott, Emerson wrote, "The reason why you are very important in my life is that I don't have a phone so how else am I supposed to stay in touch with my friends You make it possible!" She put the letter in the mailbox and the next day received a package with two notes and stamps inside. One letter was from Scott and the other from his supervisor(主管)at the US Postal Service(USPS),who wanted to share how touched they were by her message.
Emerson's note eventually landed in the corporate newsletter(时事通讯)of the USPS.Then, the unexpected happened. Letters poured in from postal workers from across the country."The power of connection is what we are delivering, as we bring medicines, letters and goods to people staying at home," USPS spokesman David Rupert said. Because we are hard at work,we are helping keep them safe and connected."
Now, Emerson is writing up to 25 letters each week to respond to her new postal pen pals."I just think now we need to be thankful for them because we need them during this time," she said.
Emerson's dad admitted he was shocked by the response at first but believed there was a message in this. He explained,"At present, any sort of human contact has more meaning."
