Are you brave enough？4 cruises for adventure
Some adventure travel types may laugh at the idea of getting on a cruise ship, thinking of it as being too usual. They should get over that. There are places in the world that are best seen and experienced on water, including new destinations. Check out our picks for the 4 best adventure cruises.
Antarctica and the South Shetland Islands: Icebergs, glaciers (冰川), whales, penguins and elephant seals are the big draws to the “Great White Continent.” In this destination list, you'll dress a heavy jacket for tours exploring the cold, bare landscape, blue lighted icebergs and other sights. Upscale French line Ponant Cruises' 264 passenger ships cruise the region late November through January.
The Galapagos: Nature rules over these islands, about 600 miles off the coast of Ecuador, and local creatures are surprisingly unafraid of humans. You may find yourself stepping over sea lions to cross a beach, eye to eye with a blue footed bird, diving with young sea lions and getting very close to a curious iguana (鬣晰). The 92 passenger Celebrity Xpedition cruises the islands year round.
Alaska：Seeing a glacier break brings high drama. On small ship line Alaskan Dream Cruises you'll also communicate with bald eagles and seals as you quietly paddle in a remote bay. Travel routes avoid the tourist spots in favor of a Southeast Alaska wild experience — you're more likely to see a leaping whale than a jewelry store. The line's ships carry fewer than 60 passengers on spring and summer cruises.
The Arctic：Come for the polar bears that rule the North Pole, but stay for the astonishing event of the Midnight Sun, plus the sights of glaciers, icebergs and surprising areas of wildflowers. Keep your telescope balanced to spot elephant seals, white whales, bearded seals, rare birds and arctic deer in an extremely beautiful landscape. Hurtigruten's 318 passenger polar discovery ship MS Fram sails here June to August.

The roots of basketball are deep in Canada. In 1891 the game was invented by Dr. James Naismith, a Canadian who was from Almonte, Ontario.
Having been given the task of creating a new indoor sports activity while conducting a physical education class at the international YMCA training school in Springfield, Massachusetts, Naismith designed what we now call basketball. The original game involved 13 rules and a peach basket hung ten feet above the floor. Even though it took place in the United States, at least ten of the players who located in the first game were university students from Quebec.
Basketball played by school and local amateur teams has been part of the Canadian sports scene since the turn of the century. Hoops teams representing Canada have joined in Olympic Games since 1936 and in the World Championships since 1954.
One of the most storied amateur teams in Canadian basketball history is the Edmonton Commercial Graduates (Grad's), a group of Canadian women who dominated (占优势) the sport in the 1920s, 30s and 40s. Over 25 years, the Grad's played 522 games at home and abroad, against both women's and men's teams. The Grad's accomplished a record breaking winning streak (连胜场数) of 147 games and throughout their basketball tenure (任期) won remarkable (卓越的) 502 times.
The National Basketball Association also has origins in Canada. The NBA's first game was played in Toronto nearly seventy years ago, on November 1, 1946 when the New York Knickerbockers defeated the Toronto Huskies 68－66 at Maple Leaf Gardens. The teams were part of the Basketball Association of America, the forerunner to the NBA.
The Toronto Raptors and Vancouver Grizzlies joined the NBA beginning in the 1995 96 season, becoming the first non U.S. cities to join the league since the Toronto Huskies were one year members of the BAA. In summer 2001, the Grizzlies relocated from Vancouver to Memphis, Tennessee.
4．Basketball as a physical activity is created because ________．
A．Canada desired to be a forerunner in sports
B．a new indoor activity was needed in Massachusetts
C．students from Quebec needed physical exercises
D．James Naismith is a teacher of physical education
5．Which basketball groups played an important role in the Canadian sports since the turn of the century
A．Local basketball fans.
B．Professional school teams.
C．School and local amateur teams.
D．Local basketball associations.
6．What can be inferred about the Grad's according to Paragraph 4
A．Grad's won 147 games.
B．Grad's had men and women players.
C．Grad's has a history of 30 years.
D．Grad's had very few losses.
7．Which of the following might be the best title for the passage
A．BAA and NBA
B．The origin of NBA
C．NBA and Olympic Games
D．The history of basketball in Canada
C
My grandfather Andy Anderson is 99. His life story is one for the big screen — he met my grandmother on a Saturday, and they married on the following Saturday. They stayed together until my grandma died 67 years later.
Without going to college, Andy worked his way to the top. He became the manager of the dairy department of Safeway. He earned the nickname Mr. Cheese, which eventually turned into Grandpa Cheese among the family. He has taught me a lot and here's what he has learned in his 99 years.
Always maintain a good sense of humor. Find something humorous in every single situation. Never be too good to start at the bottom. Exercise every day, even when you don't feel like it. Don't spend more money than you make. Save your money now and spend it later.
You must be able to forgive, even if it's difficult to do. Love is not always easy; sometimes you have to work at it. Your family is the most precious thing you will ever have in life.
If you're faced with a problem, don't delay trying to figure it out. But if there's no way to figure it out, you have to forget about it. Make sure you're doing what you love; don't be afraid to follow those dreams you have for yourself.
School education is important, but not necessary. Life can be an education in itself. Explore your world and stay curious; Having a bad job is better than having no job at all; Try not to take yourself so seriously. Don't ever be afraid to be your true self. Your life is delicate, and if you fail to take care of yourself properly, you'll spoil.
Life is a gift that you must unwrap (打开). It's up to you to determine if what's inside will lead you to happiness or dismay (沮丧). You have the power to make that decision for yourself.
All of above come from Grandpa Cheese. If you're wondering what Grandpa Cheese is up to these days, he's riding his motorized scooter (踏板车) around Benicia, CA, and “planning on what I'm going to do when I start to get old，” he says.
8．Which of the following agrees with Grandpa's philosophy
A．Love needs efforts.
B．Exercise if you like it.
C．Happiness makes longer life.
D．A good job secures a happy life.
9．If you have a problem with no solution, the best way is to ________．
A．keep trying
B．leave it aside
C．take care of yourself
D．have a sense of humor
10．What can we learn from the passage
A．The author's great grandparents are living a happy life now.
B．School education helps develop curiosity about the world.
C．Whether life will be happy or miserable is decided by yourself.
D．Andy was called Mr. Cheese before being a Safeway manager.
11．Where does the passage probably come from
A．An advertisement.
B．A biography.
C．A political newspaper.
D．A science fiction.
D
As sea levels climb, even Washington, D．C. could see more frequent and widespread flooding at high tide (潮汐)．
Strong storms and high winds sometimes bring floods to coastal areas. But cities and towns along the US East Coast are flooding even in calm and sunny weather. Among them is Maryland's capital Annapolis. Tourists there must sometimes walk through water flooding downtown streets surrounding the harbor. Sometimes, water covers roads in Atlantic City, N．J. Even the yards and basements of coastal homes near New York City sometimes flood.
All are suffering from this trend — normal high tides surpass (超过) a rising sea level.
Sea levels have climbed, on average, about 20 centimeters (8 inches) over the past 135 years. And a sharp increase in tidal flooding is one of the more visible impacts affecting many coastal areas, notes William Sweet, an oceanographer (海洋学家)．
Sweet and his co workers recently analyzed data from 45 tide gauges (计量表) along the US coasts. These tools record the changing heights of tides as they rise and fall. From these data, Sweet's team calculated the number of “troublesome floods” in various coastal cities. These floods, Sweet explains, typically occur when water level is about 30 centimeters (1 foot) above the historic level of the highest high tides. In June 2014, the team reported finding a growing rise in these flooding events.
In Charleston, S．C., from 1957 to 1963, the city experienced troublesome floods an average of 4.6 days per year. But from 2007 to 2013, the occurring rate of troublesome floods jumped five times. Annapolis city was even more serious. From 1957 to 1963, troublesome floods were roughly 3.8 days per year. From 2007 to 2013, the average was 10 times higher — 39.3 days a year.
“Over the next few decades, climate change probably drives sea levels even higher，” Sweet says. “So today's flooding problems promise to become only more widespread and frequent.”
12．Paragraph 2 is mainly developed by ________．
A．time B．space
C．characters D．examples
13．According to data in Paragraph 5, it can be inferred that ________．
A．the changes of heights of tides are usually in a small range
B．the number of troublesome floods gradually gets less
C．there has been a growing rise in these analyzed flooding events
D．the floods in coastal cities often occur when water level is above 1 foot
14．The ultimate cause of more flooding problems is the fact that ________．
A．the sea levels have been climbing
B．the weather conditions are not stable
C．climate has changed over the years
D．people are living too close to harbors
15．What is the text mainly about
A．A flood research.
B．Sweet's team.
C．American oceanographers.
D．The US East Coast.

One of the most storied amateur teams in Canadian basketball history is the Edmonton Commercial Graduates (Grad's), a group of Canadian women who dominated (占优势) the sport in the 1920s, 30s and 40s. Over 25 years, the Grad's played 522 games at home and abroad, against both women's and men's teams. The Grad's accomplished a record breaking winning streak (连胜场数) of 147 games and throughout their basketball tenure (任期) won remarkable (卓越的) 502 times.
The National Basketball Association also has origins in Canada. The NBA's first game was played in Toronto nearly seventy years ago, on November 1, 1946 when the New York Knickerbockers defeated the Toronto Huskies 68－66 at Maple Leaf Gardens. The teams were part of the Basketball Association of America, the forerunner to the NBA.
The Toronto Raptors and Vancouver Grizzlies joined the NBA beginning in the 1995 96 season, becoming the first non U.S. cities to join the league since the Toronto Huskies were one year members of the BAA. In summer 2001, the Grizzlies relocated from Vancouver to Memphis, Tennessee.

C
My grandfather Andy Anderson is 99. His life story is one for the big screen — he met my grandmother on a Saturday, and they married on the following Saturday. They stayed together until my grandma died 67 years later.
Without going to college, Andy worked his way to the top. He became the manager of the dairy department of Safeway. He earned the nickname Mr. Cheese, which eventually turned into Grandpa Cheese among the family. He has taught me a lot and here's what he has learned in his 99 years.
Always maintain a good sense of humor. Find something humorous in every single situation. Never be too good to start at the bottom. Exercise every day, even when you don't feel like it. Don't spend more money than you make. Save your money now and spend it later.
You must be able to forgive, even if it's difficult to do. Love is not always easy; sometimes you have to work at it. Your family is the most precious thing you will ever have in life.
If you're faced with a problem, don't delay trying to figure it out. But if there's no way to figure it out, you have to forget about it. Make sure you're doing what you love; don't be afraid to follow those dreams you have for yourself.
School education is important, but not necessary. Life can be an education in itself. Explore your world and stay curious; Having a bad job is better than having no job at all; Try not to take yourself so seriously. Don't ever be afraid to be your true self. Your life is delicate, and if you fail to take care of yourself properly, you'll spoil.
Life is a gift that you must unwrap (打开). It's up to you to determine if what's inside will lead you to happiness or dismay (沮丧). You have the power to make that decision for yourself.
All of above come from Grandpa Cheese. If you're wondering what Grandpa Cheese is up to these days, he's riding his motorized scooter (踏板车) around Benicia, CA, and “planning on what I'm going to do when I start to get old，” he says.
8．Which of the following agrees with Grandpa's philosophy
A．Love needs efforts.
B．Exercise if you like it.
C．Happiness makes longer life.
D．A good job secures a happy life.
9．If you have a problem with no solution, the best way is to ________．
A．keep trying
B．leave it aside
C．take care of yourself
D．have a sense of humor
10．What can we learn from the passage
A．The author's great grandparents are living a happy life now.
B．School education helps develop curiosity about the world.
C．Whether life will be happy or miserable is decided by yourself.
D．Andy was called Mr. Cheese before being a Safeway manager.
11．Where does the passage probably come from
A．An advertisement.
B．A biography.
C．A political newspaper.
D．A science fiction.
D
As sea levels climb, even Washington, D．C. could see more frequent and widespread flooding at high tide (潮汐)．
Strong storms and high winds sometimes bring floods to coastal areas. But cities and towns along the US East Coast are flooding even in calm and sunny weather. Among them is Maryland's capital Annapolis. Tourists there must sometimes walk through water flooding downtown streets surrounding the harbor. Sometimes, water covers roads in Atlantic City, N．J. Even the yards and basements of coastal homes near New York City sometimes flood.
All are suffering from this trend — normal high tides surpass (超过) a rising sea level.
Sea levels have climbed, on average, about 20 centimeters (8 inches) over the past 135 years. And a sharp increase in tidal flooding is one of the more visible impacts affecting many coastal areas, notes William Sweet, an oceanographer (海洋学家)．
Sweet and his co workers recently analyzed data from 45 tide gauges (计量表) along the US coasts. These tools record the changing heights of tides as they rise and fall. From these data, Sweet's team calculated the number of “troublesome floods” in various coastal cities. These floods, Sweet explains, typically occur when water level is about 30 centimeters (1 foot) above the historic level of the highest high tides. In June 2014, the team reported finding a growing rise in these flooding events.
In Charleston, S．C., from 1957 to 1963, the city experienced troublesome floods an average of 4.6 days per year. But from 2007 to 2013, the occurring rate of troublesome floods jumped five times. Annapolis city was even more serious. From 1957 to 1963, troublesome floods were roughly 3.8 days per year. From 2007 to 2013, the average was 10 times higher — 39.3 days a year.
“Over the next few decades, climate change probably drives sea levels even higher，” Sweet says. “So today's flooding problems promise to become only more widespread and frequent.”
12．Paragraph 2 is mainly developed by ________．
A．time B．space
C．characters D．examples
13．According to data in Paragraph 5, it can be inferred that ________．
A．the changes of heights of tides are usually in a small range
B．the number of troublesome floods gradually gets less
C．there has been a growing rise in these analyzed flooding events
D．the floods in coastal cities often occur when water level is above 1 foot
14．The ultimate cause of more flooding problems is the fact that ________．
A．the sea levels have been climbing
B．the weather conditions are not stable
C．climate has changed over the years
D．people are living too close to harbors
15．What is the text mainly about
A．A flood research.
B．Sweet's team.
C．American oceanographers.
D．The US East Coast.
