Are you wondering where to go for your holiday Here are some reviews about Gondwana EcoTours Northern Lights Adventure for you to better assess.
Laura Thompson
I highly recommend Gondwana EcoTours Northern Lights Adventure. Our guides, David and Greg, arranged many interesting daytime activities-dog sledding, Chena Hot Springs, visits to cultural museums and a sustainable family farm. Their knowledge and passion for the area were influential. At night, our guide, Laurie, accompanied us whenever there was Aurora activity and helped with photography. Overall, a wonderful experience!
Scott Hockin
Wow, it might be a great experience. Group size was great, large enough for interactions(互动), small enough to not be lost in a crowd. Activities were fun and food was hearty and good. Great guides were personal and professional. But we were unable to keep us very warm and comfortable during the extreme cold. Think twice!
Mark
The Northern Lights tour was one of the best vacations ever. With the various things to see and do during the day, we kept busy and very interested in each item we saw. We were very fortunate to see the Northern Lights 5 days in a row—what a spectacular treat! All three guides were great. Highly recommend.
Michele Long
We had a wonderful week at The Taste of Alaska Lodge March 3-9!! Gondwana included everything to provide the Alaska winter experience: excellent guides & Aurora expert, Running Reindeer Ranch(牧场), Chena Hot Springs, dogsledding and more! Mother Nature provided a magnificent light show 3 nights. I enjoyed it so much that I'd book the trip again!
21. What might be one disadvantage of Scott Hockin's trip
A. Improper group sizes. B. Extreme weather there.
C. Poor food and accommodation. D. Crowds of travelers and less activities.
22. What did Mark specially do during the trip
A. He bathed in the hot springs.
B. He tried dog sledding in the ranch.
C. He admired the Northern Lights for 5 nights.
D. He enjoyed some green food in a local family farm.
23. What are the four people pleased with about the trip
A. High-class tour guides. B. Various food choices.

B
National Geographic Explorer Paul Salopek is walking from Africa to the tip of South America. He is following the path our human ancestors took out of Africa about 200,000 years ago.
Salopek has named his journey the Out of Eden Walk. As he walks through different countries, landscapes, and cultures, Salopek is documenting what he sees and hears. And he isn't walking alone. During each part of his walk, Paul is joined by a local guide. Along the way, he meets people from small villages, cities, and country farms. Sometimes, they give him a place to stay for a night or two. Often, his hosts share a little bit about their lives with him.
The Out of Eden Walk is well-named. Besides a few rides on boats or ships, Salopek is walking the entire way. No cars. He doesn't even ride bikes, though he does use pack animals. An important part of Salopek's mission is to tell the stories of ordinary people. Walking gives him more time to look around and to talk to the people he encounters. He has spoken to thousands of people since his walk began. As he puts it, "I am in a seven, eight, nine-year-long conversation with total strangers."
Following a story is not new for Paul Salopek. He is a journalist. He has written for The Atlantic, the Chicago Tribune, National Geographic, and other publications. His works have earned many awards, including two Pulitzer Prizes.
As a journalist, Salopek would often fly into an area to cover a story and then quickly leave again. But he felt he was missing part of the story and wanted to dig deeper. The Out of Eden Walk was born from this desire. Salopek calls it slow journalism. The goal is to deeply explore some of the major news stories of our times by talking to ordinary people who are affected. As Salopek describes it, "It is about slowing down enough to actually inhabit the stories of the day and to get to know the people who are behind the headlines."
24. What is the Out of Eden Walk
A. It is the latest penned work of Paul Salopek.
B. It is a ship journey from Africa to the tip of South America.
C. It is a toured long walk across the continents taken by Paul Salopek.
D. It is a new fashionable way of travelling through different countries.
25. What does Salopek think of the conversation with strangers
A. Fruitful. B. Discouraging. C. Challenging. D. Time-wasted.
26. Why did Paul Salopek start the Out of Eden Walk
A. To finish his work for the Pulitzer Prizes.
B. To explore the best headlines for the journalism.
C. To unearth the deeper part of the major news stories.
D. To interest the readers in the ancient ordinary people.
27. What do we know about slow journalism
A. Realistic and worthwhile. B. Influential but informal.
C. Humorous and relaxing. D. Efficient and meaningful.
C
A remarkable discovery has changed the way scientists think about the history of cancer treatment. While many people think of cancer as a disease that affects only modern-day humans, cancer has been around for thousands of years and new research shows that humans have also tried to manage it for thousands of years. The study of two ancient Egyptian skulls(颅骨)held at the University of Cambridge in England has suggested that ancient Egyptians may have performed surgery to manage cancer.
Professor Edgard Camaros from the University of Santiago de Compostela in Spain and his team were shocked when they found cut marks and evidence of cancer in the skulls of two ancient Egyptians dating back up to 4000 years old. While Egyptians are well known for having excellent medical knowledge and treating a range of diseases, they had never been known for treating cancer.
The skulls had already been studied in 1963 by other scientists, however, the technology at that time wasn't advanced enough to pick up the cut marks of operation found on the skulls, Professor Edgard Camaros said. It was thanks to a HIROZ Digital Microscope HR-2016 that scientists spotted surgical cut marks around two cancer lesions(病变).
One limitation regarding cancer is that there are too few cancer cases on ancient human remains. The study of disease found in animal and human remains aims to find out as much as possible about diseases in the past to help our understanding of diseases now.
Our discipline is limited by the samples we work with, which depends on the funeral culture of some people as well as the environment in which they were preserved. Egypt is a great place thanks to its advanced funerary(埋葬的)practices and the dry weather which preserves remains better.
28. How did Professor Edgard and his team feel when they found the cut marks
A. Overjoyed. B. Confused. C. Surprised. D. Disappointed.
29. Why did scientists fail to find the cut marks in 1963
A. They were too careless. B. They lacked advanced technology.
C. They were in such a rush. D. They had little relative knowledge.
30. What makes Egypt a great place for preservation according to the last paragraph
A. Its population. B. Its economy. C. Its scenery. D. Its climate.
31. What is the best title for the text
A. Cancer Has Been Around for Thousands of Years
B. Ancient Egyptians Had Found a Cure for Cancer
C. Scientists Assumed Causes for Marks on Ancient Skulls
D. Animal and Human Remains Are Well Preserved in Egypt
D
The Earth's population is expected to reach 9.7 billion by 2050. Experts estimate food production will have to increase by 70 percent to keep pace with that growth. Previous methods of agriculture will soon no longer be an option. According to a 2018 study, we have to turn away from meat and dairy products.
U.S. customers have proved themselves willing to test the waters. Americans spent $1.4 billion on plant-based meat in 2021, representing a market share of 2.7 percent of all meat sales. The plant-based food companies claim their burgers use less land and water and produce less greenhouse gases. But, consider the possibility that we left our most promising resource behind in the ocean. Will you swap meat for seaweed
"I think seaweed needs branding(品牌)," says Mark Kulsdom, co-founder of the memorably-named Dutch Weed Burger. As Kulsdom explained Dutch Weed Burgers are vegetarian but for meat eaters. A decade after launching their first product, he and his partners now sell about quarter of a million burgers each year.
Ultimately, Kulsdom is striving for a culture change. "I believe we need to raise interest sometimes by using a bit of an unorthodox(非正统的)approach to things," he adds. "When people get what they already know, it's not that interesting. When their curiosity is awakened, that's when new things and ideas can enter their minds."
In 2008, researchers discovered 14,000-year-old seaweed fragments(碎片)in southern Chile that had been pressed into cakes and clearly been cooked. As they wrote in Science, all seaweed recovered at the site are excellent sources of iodine, iron, zinc, protein, hormones and a wide range of elements. Though Mark Kulsdom's Dutch Weed Burger sounds futuristic, one could argue that they're revisiting one of the oldest stories we know.
32. How are plant-based burgers according to the companies
A. They are healthy. B. They are nutritious.
C. They are delicious. D. They are environmentally friendly.
33. What does the underlined word "striving" in Paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Leaving. B. Struggling. C. Preparing. D. Waiting.
34. What can we learn from the last paragraph
A. Chile is rich in seaweed.
B. Seaweed was the major food source in Chile.
C. People have long been using seaweed as food.
D. Mark Kulsdom's Dutch Weed Burger is too futuristic.
35. Where is the text most likely from
A. A newspaper. B. A science fiction.
C. A travel guide. D. A textbook.

Snakes are the last thing you want to find in your yard or garden, much less in your house Unfortunately, there's no sure way to keep snakes out of your building. But don't despair. 36
Keep bushes and grass around your house trimmed up(修剪的).
The first thing that homeowners should do is to keep their grass cut to a short or reasonable length. Snakes are careful about traveling across trimmed bushes and grass because these plants expose them to predator(捕食者). 37
Remove hiding places.
Reduce or remove places where snakes like to hide. One of these is under bushes. In addition, ground cover plants also provide cover for snakes. 38 Another landscape feature to be aware of is large rocks piled on top of each other. Avoid these because that gives snakes an excellent place to stay cool and hide.
39
Homeowners should check the foundation to look for possible entry points for snakes. Snakes will get under your house if they can. Be sure to seal cracks or openings that a snake could get through. Another access point for snakes could be a door. Block these openings.
Remove food.
Snakes are carnivores that feed on meat, so they are seeking for mice, rats and even birds. There are things homeowners can do to help prevent attracting them and snakes. 40 That will bring in the animals, which will-bring in the snakes. It's okay to feed your pets outdoors, just remember to remove any uneaten food.
A. Block entries to the house.
B. What to do if you see a snake.
C. There are things that you can do to help.
D. Try to limit the use of these plants in your garden.
E. One is to avoid leaving an available cat or dog food outdoors.
F. The things homeowners can do to keep snakes away fall into two types.
G. So it makes sense to trim bushes and grass around your house regularly.

I watched two of my dearest friends grow up. I laughed and cried at their silly actions. I taught them that rolling their eyes was rude and shared my love of books with them.
My daughters, Lassie and Karina have become my daughter friends. This new relationship wasn't planned. It has been blossomed over the years. I think it started during a shopping trip. I edged out of the dressing room uncomfortably at a shirt that should have fit me. Karina shook her head.
Lassie, three years older and more sensitive, said "Mom, it looks like everything else you own. Why not try something different " Karina put her hands on her hips. "Mom, definitely not. Next." I stepped back into the dressing room. I heard Lassie whispering something to her sister. I caught the words "Be gentle". They rejected all of my choices and picked a much more trendy outfit that I was used to wearing. The message was clear. Mom's taste was boring. Theirs wasn't.
That was the beginning of the change. From clothes to relationships, the girls aired their opinions, advised me about dating and stepped. All into my business. Our roles had expanded. Friendship means being honest, loving and loyal. My girls had all those characteristics and more.
"Mom," Lassie stood in my doorway. Arms crossed in front of her. "Tomorrow morning, you are going to be on the eight am bus. You will be in Pittsburgh by 2:30. Karina is packing your bag. No arguments."
"Honey, what are you talking about " I put down the book that I've been pretending to read. "I told you that I wasn't going. We cannot afford it. Besides, who's going to keep an eye on you " Karina operated with the motto, "make your point and move on." "Mom, you deserve a break and you're getting one. Bus tickets are cheap so we bought you one. We asked dad to help. We are grownups even if we still act like kids sometimes. We will be alright by ourselves."
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150个左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
"This is very sweet, but you need to save money for books and things." I argued. I hugged these two young women.

第一节
Good morning, everyone! I'm Li Hua, thrilled to report our project "The Significance of Sorting out Rubbish".
At the beginning, our four-member team carefully planned and assigned tasks based on individual strengths, ensuring each of us had an equal opportunity to contribute. Over the past four weeks, we have been actively engaged in a variety of hands-on sorting-out rubbish activities in different communities. To our joy, this project was a great success. Not only did it highlight the importance of dealing with rubbish correctly, but it greatly beautified our environment and strengthened our community bonds. d
To conclude, this project has been a rewarding experience. Thank you for your attention.
第二节 续写
"This is very sweet, but you need to save money for books and things." I argued. I couldn't believe they engineered all these. I was mom. I decided who got vacations and how money were spent, right Lassie cleared her throat, "Have fun. When was the last time you had one, mom " That question floored me all of a sudden. Maybe I just thought they wouldn't notice my lack of social life. They must have noticed my tiredness and deep desire in my heart for a short break.
I hugged these two young women. I realized actually the considerate young women whom I raised and worried over were worried about me. I love them more every single day. I tried to believe them as really reliable friends. I had the tour as they planned and really had a great time. I refreshed myself and got relieved physically and mentally. My daughters continue to fascinate and delight me. And their friendship means everything for me. Having daughter-friends is an expected move to be the mom. I'm very fortunate.

M: Mmm, I'm glad to give you my number, but I don't want to give out my email, if you don't mind.

Text 10
This year, the Summer Festival is the biggest we've ever seen, so there should be something for everybody. This is the third year they've run it and the timing is slightly different: for the last couple of years, it's been around the fifth to seventeenth, but this year, they've put it at the end of the month. The program has theater, dance and a large number of art exhibitions, but the thing the Festival is most famous for is its great street music. For today's report though, I'm looking at some of the theatrical events that you might like to see; in particular, at this year's theme—circuses. There are two circus performances. The first is the Circus Romano. As this is a traveling circus, it'll be performing in a tent, usually put up in a green space. There are no animals—just very talented clowning. It's really for adult tastes. The second is Circus Electrica at the Studio Theater. It's a showcase for skills in dance and music. An interesting feature of the show is that the performers are so young—the youngest is only fourteen. It's a good one for the whole family. Then finally, as it's summer, there are some performances presented outdoors, like the famous Mekong Water Activity, performing in the City Gardens this week. It's a must-see for young children.
Well, that's all I have time for today.
