In 2005, I decided to fulfill (实现) one of my lifelong dreams: Moving to some completely different place and living a different life. I came to the Bahamas. At first I was lost when it came to small talk. However, it didn't take me long to understand the “Bahamian slang (俚语)” nor to have personal conversations. About a year later, I even started dreaming in English and all my thoughts came in English as well. It's kind of funny when you experience that — especially since I lived most of my life in Germany.
Three years ago I met my husband who came from Liverpool. Liverpool accent was really a big challenge. In the first few months I had headaches just from concentrating so hard on what he was saying. Once at the beginning of our relationship, we were sitting on the sofa and having a nice conversation. Then he asked me：“Honey, how many holes do you have in your ear？” A strange question, I thought but answered anyway. “Three holes in my left ear and two in my right, my dear.” I hadn't even finished my sentence when he broke out into laughter and fell from the sofa. I wasn't all that amused and looked at him, asking, “And what's so funny about that？” When he finally caught his breath, he said, “Honey, my question was how many holidays do you have a year？” and started laughing again, when I joined him wholeheartedly.

In America, Halloween is a big deal. Americans spend $7.4 billion on Halloween — and $350 million of that is for costumes for their pets, reports the National Retail Federation.
About 15 percent of Americans will buy costumes for their pets. “Time” magazine reports that more people are purchasing Halloween costumes for their dogs — up 24 percent since 2010. Spending has increased by 40 percent in the past two years.
Go online, and you can buy a Robin Hood costume for your dog, or a Wonder Woman dog costume, or a cow costume. The costumes come in various sizes. Purchase a large one for your Mastiff or a small one for your Chihuahua. They cost as little as $7.80 or as much as $300. In Hollywood, pet costumes for movie characters and famous people are popular. Some dogs are dressed as Edward Scissorhands or Kim Kardashian, reported “Entertainment Weekly”. In New York, Jimmy Kimmel, the late night television host, held a dog costume show on his show. Cat owners can also participate in the fun.
Why are Americans spending so much on their pets “Time” magazine reports that “pets have their status (地位) today，” and “more than 9 in 10 owners consider their pets to be members of their family.” Many people have strong emotional ties with their dogs and cats.
Zoher Kapu, who works for eBay, the online marketplace, told “the Chicago Tribune” that eBay had 1.5 million pet costumes for sale on Oct. 21 out of 800 million items listed. There were 159 million active customers in 200 countries.

The fact that trees are vital to our life is not a secret. They provide us with food, wood and most importantly, oxygen. Now there is one more thing we can add to this list — blocking out harmful bacteria from water.
The discovery was made by a team consisting of scientists from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and high school students who were seeking a natural water filter (过滤器) — one that would help communities in developing countries that do not have access to modern water filter systems.
The researchers, led by Professor Rohit Karnik, decided to turn to trees for help because they could allow liquid to flow through, while blocking out air bubbles.
They began by cutting 1.5 inch wide sections of tree bark from the branches of a white pine tree. The researchers then tested the wood's filtering ability by pouring water containing red dye particles of different sizes through. To their surprise, they found that it was effective in trapping all the particles. Encouraged, the team conducted another experiment, this time with water that contained bacteria. Sure enough, the sapwood held back 99% of the bacteria, allowing only 1% to flow through.
Mr. Karnik said that the bark was able to filter water containing much smaller particles. This means that they can be used to get rid of a majority of bacteria, since most are at least 10 times as wide. However, what troubles them is that tree bark isn't blocking out viruses, which tend to be much smaller.
Also, while the pine sapwood is effective, we must remember one thing — it only works when damp. This means that before this natural filter can be put into practical use, the researchers will have to figure out how to keep the wood damp, or find a way to keep the bark's great filtering ability even when it's dry!
But the team is not done yet. They plan on testing other types of sapwood, including those from flowering trees which have smaller pores (气孔). They think that these may be more effective in trapping smaller particles and even viruses.
32．What problem troubles the researchers when they use tree bark as water filters
A．Viruses cannot be blocked out.
B．Not all bacteria will be held back.
C．Viruses don't make air bubbles.
D．Tree bark needs to be kept in water.
33．We can learn from the text that tree bark can filter water when .
A．it is damp
B．it is dry
C．it has been cut down
D．it is processed by researchers
34．The team is planning to conduct other experiments to .
A．find all wood bark with such ability
B．find which trees have the smallest pores
C．improve trees' filtering ability
D．test other wood bark's filtering ability
35．In which column of a newspaper can we read this text
A．Nature. B．Science.
C．Lifestyle. D．Society.

Traveling is a very enjoyable experience as it provides an opportunity to see new things. 36 The following article discusses the advantages of traveling.
Traveling gives you the opportunity to disconnect from your regular life. People all have crazy schedules, work and a family to take care of, and traveling alone or with some friends can give you distance and perhaps even make you realize how important these people are to you. 37
Another great benefit is the relaxation you get. 38 When you come back you feel energetic and you are happy to be back to your daily routine.
39 They will create a bond that nothing can erase no matter what happens to the friendship/relationship. You can create photo albums and when you feel nostalgic (对往事怀恋的) you can experience the trips again by looking at your pictures.
It's never been this cheap to travel. With increasing oil prices the cheap travel era might be coming to an end. 40 With the Internet and all the new technology, you can plan your trip exactly the way you want it. You can choose your budget, the duration of the trip and what you want to do.
A．It's nice to enjoy a stress free time.

C．When traveling with friends or family it creates memories of a lifetime.
D．Discovering different values and ways to get by in life is really interesting.

In 2005, I decided to fulfill (实现) one of my lifelong dreams: Moving to some completely different place and living a different life. I came to the Bahamas. At first I was lost when it came to small talk. However, it didn't take me long to understand the “Bahamian slang (俚语)” nor to have personal conversations. About a year later, I even started dreaming in English and all my thoughts came in English as well. It's kind of funny when you experience that — especially since I lived most of my life in Germany.
Three years ago I met my husband who came from Liverpool. Liverpool accent was really a big challenge. In the first few months I had headaches just from concentrating so hard on what he was saying. Once at the beginning of our relationship, we were sitting on the sofa and having a nice conversation. Then he asked me：“Honey, how many holes do you have in your ear？” A strange question, I thought but answered anyway. “Three holes in my left ear and two in my right, my dear.” I hadn't even finished my sentence when he broke out into laughter and fell from the sofa. I wasn't all that amused and looked at him, asking, “And what's so funny about that？” When he finally caught his breath, he said, “Honey, my question was how many holidays do you have a year？” and started laughing again, when I joined him wholeheartedly.

In America, Halloween is a big deal. Americans spend $7.4 billion on Halloween — and $350 million of that is for costumes for their pets, reports the National Retail Federation.
About 15 percent of Americans will buy costumes for their pets. “Time” magazine reports that more people are purchasing Halloween costumes for their dogs — up 24 percent since 2010. Spending has increased by 40 percent in the past two years.
Go online, and you can buy a Robin Hood costume for your dog, or a Wonder Woman dog costume, or a cow costume. The costumes come in various sizes. Purchase a large one for your Mastiff or a small one for your Chihuahua. They cost as little as $7.80 or as much as $300. In Hollywood, pet costumes for movie characters and famous people are popular. Some dogs are dressed as Edward Scissorhands or Kim Kardashian, reported “Entertainment Weekly”. In New York, Jimmy Kimmel, the late night television host, held a dog costume show on his show. Cat owners can also participate in the fun.
Why are Americans spending so much on their pets “Time” magazine reports that “pets have their status (地位) today，” and “more than 9 in 10 owners consider their pets to be members of their family.” Many people have strong emotional ties with their dogs and cats.
Zoher Kapu, who works for eBay, the online marketplace, told “the Chicago Tribune” that eBay had 1.5 million pet costumes for sale on Oct. 21 out of 800 million items listed. There were 159 million active customers in 200 countries.

The fact that trees are vital to our life is not a secret. They provide us with food, wood and most importantly, oxygen. Now there is one more thing we can add to this list — blocking out harmful bacteria from water.
The discovery was made by a team consisting of scientists from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and high school students who were seeking a natural water filter (过滤器) — one that would help communities in developing countries that do not have access to modern water filter systems.
The researchers, led by Professor Rohit Karnik, decided to turn to trees for help because they could allow liquid to flow through, while blocking out air bubbles.
They began by cutting 1.5 inch wide sections of tree bark from the branches of a white pine tree. The researchers then tested the wood's filtering ability by pouring water containing red dye particles of different sizes through. To their surprise, they found that it was effective in trapping all the particles. Encouraged, the team conducted another experiment, this time with water that contained bacteria. Sure enough, the sapwood held back 99% of the bacteria, allowing only 1% to flow through.
Mr. Karnik said that the bark was able to filter water containing much smaller particles. This means that they can be used to get rid of a majority of bacteria, since most are at least 10 times as wide. However, what troubles them is that tree bark isn't blocking out viruses, which tend to be much smaller.
Also, while the pine sapwood is effective, we must remember one thing — it only works when damp. This means that before this natural filter can be put into practical use, the researchers will have to figure out how to keep the wood damp, or find a way to keep the bark's great filtering ability even when it's dry!
But the team is not done yet. They plan on testing other types of sapwood, including those from flowering trees which have smaller pores (气孔). They think that these may be more effective in trapping smaller particles and even viruses.
语篇解读：最近科学家们发现：树皮可以过滤水中的细菌。这一发现可以改善发展中国家人们的生活质量。
32．What problem troubles the researchers when they use tree bark as water filters

解析：选A 细节理解题。从文章第五段末的“However, what troubles them is that tree bark isn't blocking out viruses, which tend to be much smaller.”可知，让研究人员感到困扰的是树皮无法挡住病毒，因为病毒要比细菌小得多，故选A项。
33．We can learn from the text that tree bark can filter water when .
A．it is damp
B．it is dry
C．it has been cut down
D．it is processed by researchers
解析：选A 细节理解题。从文章倒数第二段中的“it only works when damp”和“the researchers will have to figure out how to keep the wood damp”可知，树皮只有在潮湿的时候才有过滤作用，故选A项。

A．find all wood bark with such ability
B．find which trees have the smallest pores
C．improve trees' filtering ability
D．test other wood bark's filtering ability
解析：选D 推理判断题。从文章最后一段的内容可知，研究者们打算用其他种类的树皮进行实验，目的是测试其他种类树皮的过滤能力，故选D项。
