The Amazon Rainforest, often called the “lungs of the Earth”, has always mesmerized me with its biodiversity (生物多样性) and local tribes (部落). When I had the chance to join a research expedition, I took it, excited about the adventure ahead. I didn’t know it would be a great experience.
The journey into the rainforest was tough, such as the dense leaves, endless rain and the sound of insects and animals. However, the beauty of the rainforest was amazing.
One of the most exciting parts of the trip was meeting a local tribe. Their way of life, so connected to nature, was different from our urban lives. Learning about their customs and understanding their relationship with the rainforest was a special experience. It made me realize how separated from nature we have become in the technological advancement.
The trip was not without challenges. Walking in the forest, dealing with the bad weather and dealing with the fear of the unknown tested our willpower. However, every challenge we overcame brought a sense of achievement and strengthened our team bond. It taught me the importance of teamwork and adaptability.
As we left the rainforest, I recalled the impact the trip had on me. It was not just an adventure but a journey of self-discovery.
My trip to the Amazon rainforest was a meaningful experience. It was a journey that pushed my boundaries (边界) taught me valuable lessons and left me with unforgettable memories. It was not just a trip, but an exploration of the unknown and a reminder of our responsibility towards our planet. The adventure may have ended, but the journey continues, as I carry the lessons and memories with me, influencing my life and choices
4. Which of the following best explains “mesmerized” underlined in paragraph 1
A. Puzzled. B. Moved. C. Attracted. D. Defeated.
5. Which word can describe the relation between the local tribe and the rainforest
A. Exciting. B. Close. C. Relaxing. D. Separated.
6. What can we learn about the trip from paragraph 4
A. It’s dangerous and meaningless. B. It’s fanny but unbearable.
C. It’s important and interesting. D. It’s challenging but worthwhile.
7. What is the last paragraph mainly about
A. The meaning of the trip. B. The experience of the trip.
C. The memory of the trip. D. The purpose of the trip.
C
The world loves a cup of tea. It only takes a few grams to make a cup of tea and millions of tons of tea are consumed every year. Tea can be good for you because it contains some things that help lower cholesterol and reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. Tea also contains caffeine (咖啡因), which improves not only mental alertness but can also increase anxiety and cause other problems.
What would be agreeable is a tea plant that provides all the taste and goodness but with little or none of caffeine. Chen Liang and Jin Jiqiang in the Tea Research Institute, Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences think they have found just such a plant, growing wild in a remote area in southern China’s Fujian Province. Known locally as hongyacha, the discovered plant grows only between 700 meters and 1,000 meters above sea level around a handful of Chinese villages. As they report in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, not only is the tea plant naturally caffeine-free but it also contains a number of unique medicinal compounds that, the locals believe, offer considerable health benefits.
The researchers are now exploring methods to protect hongyacha in its natural habitat while further studies are carried out. It can take time—and sometimes it does not work—for new plant varieties to be bred for commercial use. A pair of naturally caffeine-free coffee plants were discovered in 2003, but little progress has been reported. Tea lovers will be watching hongyacha with interest. And others will wonder what else is out there.
8. What’s the disadvantage of drinking tea according to paragraph 1
A. It can make people hard to sleep. B. It can make people feel anxious.
C. It can get people addicted. D. It can take people much time.
9. What can we learn about hongyacha in paragraph 2
A. It is nothing but just medicine. B. It can only survive in greenhouses.
C. It is a good pick for caffeine lovers. D. It has a good taste and little caffeine.
10. What might the follow-up study focus on about hongyacha
A. Its future location. B. Its natural habitats.
C. Its future market. D. Its production process.
11 Where is the text probably taken from
A. A health magazine. B. An advertising brochure.
C. A travel guidebook. D. A newspaper.
D
“Hello Mother, Dad, and Blanche,” a quiet voice, has clearly been played many times over. “How’s everything at home I’m recording this from Dallas…” The disc is small, seven inches across, dated October 1954. The old label shows that the speaker’s name is “Gene”. Gene suggests in his minute-long message that he is traveling and tells his family not to worry about him.
This forgotten sound is one of the world’s early “voice mails”. During the first half of the 20th century, these “voice mails” and other messages were recorded largely, pressed onto metal discs and vinyl records (黑胶唱片) and mailed in places all over the world. When Thomas Edison invented the phonograph (留声机) in 1877, he expected a device that could reproduce music and even store languages.
The gramophone, a later form of the phonograph developed by Emile Berliner in 1887, provided a first possibility for recorded sound being used for long distance communication. The practice of sending “voice mails” really got going across the world in the 1930s and 1940s. Back then, families could listen to the messages on repeat—gathering together around the record player whenever one arrived. They could play it proudly again anytime there were guests, but with each play, the needle would scrape away at the grooves (凹槽) until the message could hardly be heard any longer.
Today at Princeton University, professor Thomas Levin is trying to store these sounds of the past. Linguists (语言学家) are particularly interested in “voice mails” because it provides some of the earliest-ever recorded samples of how regular people spoke—their conversational vocabulary, their pronunciation and accents, their sentence structure and their intonation (语调).
12. Why did Gene record his voice in the disc
A To let his family know he was OK. B. To prepare for his experiment.
C. To test an old vinyl record. D. To keep a memory.
13. Which of the following is the disadvantage of gramophone
A. People couldn’t listen to the music in it.
B. It couldn’t keep voice in the records very clear.
C. The recorded sound would be damaged by the needle.
D. The needle of the gramophone must be changed often.
14. For what do linguists study “voice mails”
A. To research the earliest-ever recorded voice.
B. To prove recorded samples are true.
C. To learn from famous historical linguists.
D. To reproduce the sound of the past.
15. What is the best title for the text
A. The Early Days of Recorded Sound B. The Importance of “Voice Mails”
C. The Development of Our Language D. The History of “Voice Mails”
