With the development of camping at home and abroad, more and more people have strong interest in camping. Camping provides outdoor lovers with the relaxation of the mind and inner peace. Here are some common ways to camp.
Tent Camping
This is the most basic and common way of camping. You can put up a tent in a park, on the beach, in the woods, or anywhere else you like, enjoying a few nights. Tent camping is a great choice for people who are new to camping because they don't need to spend a lot of money and energy to get started. It is perfect for families with children because it creates a special time for parents and kids.
Hiking Camping
Hiking camping, also known as backpacking, means you will spend the whole day hiking with necessary equipment(装备) on your back. It can last anywhere from a few days to several months. It gives you the chance to get closer to nature. In case of an emergency, you'd better share your travel plans with someone.
Survival Camping
In this type of camping, a variety of skills are required to learn in order to survive in various outdoor conditions. You will search for food on your own in the wild and take emergency medical measures in the event of danger. It would be a good idea to have a partner with a wealth of experience in the wild.
RV(野营车) Camping
If you go camping in a motorhome, you will have more time to enjoy the outdoors. With a motorhome, you have almost everything at home, including comfortable beds, kitchens and entertainment. All you need is to find a suitable parking lot where you can park your car. You can also cook and enjoy food in the car and it will feel great. However, this is not recommended for starters.

We thought we had it all——a beautiful house, three healthy children and one more on the way, two cars, a couple of four-wheelers for entertainment— and we loved it. Then, the market turned and my husband's job at a construction company was gone. The company was closing down for good.
We both started looking for jobs right away, but there weren't any to be found. With each passing day we were getting increasingly worried and we continued to work together in order to pull our family through. The more we pulled together, the closer we got. I felt feelings of admiration for my husband that I hadn't felt in years.
That's why it was so hard for me to watch him blame himself for our present situation.I continually asked him to stop, but he seemed to want to punish himself for not having a job.
Finally, one afternoon I pulled him aside and said, “We have four healthy children. That's what's important. That makes you a rich man.”“But what if we lose the house They’ ll hate me--you' ll hate me,” he replied.
I smiled at him and put my hands on both sides of his face to make him look me in the eye.
“No matter where we live I will be happy— as long as I have you.” I smiled again. In all the struggling together I had found that deep love for him that I had on the day we said“I do.”
I could see his shoulders and neck relaxed. He held me close and we were able to talk and plan and dream together in a way that we hadn't for quite some time. It was a turning point for us as a couple and a family.
We are still struggling for our better life, but I consider us well-off because we have something that money can't buy and no one can take away from us.

People speak English in different parts of the world. The same words can be used in different ways, depending on where you live. People can also have completely different ways of saying the same thing.
The Oxford English Dictionary (OED) is asking the public to help it add new words. Editors want to find the regional (地区的) differences in English around the world. They want to increase its record of the language.
Last year, the OED, BBC Radio and the Forward Arts Foundation teamed up to find local words in the United Kingdom. It resulted in more than 100 regional words and phrases being added to the dictionary. One was“cuddy wifter”, which means“a left-handed person”.
Now, the OED is widening its search to English speakers around the world. Eleanor Maier, an editor at OED, said the reaction has been great. Editors are listing a number of suggestions to include in the dictionary. These include Hawaii's“hammajang”, which means“in a disorderly state”. Another is the word for a swimsuit, “dockers” or“duckers”. It is used in Scotland.
The OED also might include the word“frog-drowner”, which Americans might use to describe a downpour of rain. Another possibility is“brick”. It means“very cold” used by people in New Jersey and New York City.
The dictionary has already found that, depending on location, a picture hanging off center might be described as“agley”. It might also be called“catawampous” or“ahoo”.
“The OED aims to cover all types of English,” Maier said. That includes scientific words, slang and regional language. Maier also said that it can be difficult for the OED's editors to identify (确认) regional words. Because the terms are more often spoken than written down.
The project is called Words Where You Are. It is looking for more suggestions. “We were surprised and pleased by the number of regional words we were able to include,” said Maier.
28. What is the OED main goal in collecting from the public
A. To find new words. B. To remove outdated words.
C. To promote standard English. D. To expand record for English.
29. Which of the following words is closest in meaning to“Ice-cold”
A. brick. B. dookers. C. hammajang. D. ahoo.
30. What can be inferred from the passage
A. More than 100 countries take part in the project.
B. The OED's editors are dissatisfied with last year's revision.
C. It is challenging to recognise the written form of some regional words.
D. It is necessary for English learners to have an Oxford English Dictionary.
31 What is the main idea of the passage
A. It's time to find the source of local words.
B. The OED aims to collect new words from locals.
C. The same English words can be used to say different things.
D. The OED will include more regional words from around the globe.
D
New research suggests that dogs might be able to help save diseased citrus trees.
A group of scientists trained dogs to use their sense of smell to detect a crop disease called citrus-greening. The disease has affected orange, lemon and grapefruit trees in the American states of Florida, California and Texas.
The dogs can detect the disease weeks to years before it appears on tree leaves and roots. the researchers report. A study on their findings was published recently in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The report says using dogs is also faster, less costly and more exact than having people collect hundreds of leaves for lab analysis.
Timothy Gottwald is a researcher with the U. S. Department of Agriculture and a co- writer of the study. He told The Associated Press, “This technology is thousands of years old— the dog's nose. We' ve just trained dogs to hunt new prey.”
Citrus-greening is caused by a bacteria(细菌) that is spread by a tiny insect that feeds on the leaves and stems of citrus trees. Once a tree is infected(感染), there is no cure. The disease has also hurt citrus crops in Central and South America and Asia. In one experiment involving grapefruit trees in Texas, trained dogs were correct 95 percent of the time in telling the difference between newly infected trees and healthy ones. “The earlier you detect a disease, the better chance you have at stopping an epidemic(流行病) by removing infected trees,” Gottwald said.
Matteo Garbelotto studies plants at the University of California, Berkeley. He says the new research shows that dogs can detect an infection well before current methods. Garbelotto has been involved in similar research but had no part in the new study.
Laura Sims is a plant scientist with Louisiana Tech University. She praised the steps taken to find out if the dogs were detecting the bacteria itself or a plant's reaction to an infection. To do that, the researchers infected different kinds of unrelated plants with the bacteria in a laboratory. The dogs were still able to pick out the infected plants.
Gottwald said, “You’ ve seen dogs working in airports, detecting drugs and explosives. Maybe soon you will see them working on more farms.”
32. According to the research, trained dogs can
A. help infected trees recover from diseases
B. recognise a crop disease in its early stage
C. cause fruit trees to grow faster than usual
D. reduce the cost of planting some fruit trees
33. What does the underlined part“new prey” in Paragraph 4 refer to
A. Infected plants. B. Fruit trees. C. Tiny insects. D. Favourite foods.
34. Why did the researchers do experiments on unrelated plants
A. To further prove the findings. B. To explore the plant diseases.
C. To present different opinions. D. To discover a plant's reactions.
35. How does Gottwald feel about the future use of this new method
A. Doubtful. B. Positive. C. Objective. D. Curious.

根据短文内容从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Are you sleepy as the afternoon wears on When low energy drags(拖累) you down, don't look to a candy bar,a cup of coffee, or an energy drink for a lift. The sugar and caffeine might give you an immediate pick-me-up, but after that feeling disappears, you' ll feel sleepy and even more tired. 36 Here are some ways.
Let the sunshine in.
Research suggests that just a few minutes of walking outside on a warm, clear day may improve mood, memory, and the ability to learn new information. Going outside can even improve your self-esteem. 37
Chew a piece of sugar-free gum(口香糖).
It's not exactly clear why, but many studies have shown that chewing gum increases attentiveness. Even before science confirmed it, during World War I, American soldiers were given gum to help them focus.
38
When you' re stressed, it's natural to breathe shallowly, which can decrease the amount of oxygen(氧气) that reaches cells. To lower the stress, try breathing in through your nose for four seconds, holding your breath for four seconds, and then slowly breathing out for four seconds.
Have a drink of water.
You don't necessarily have to follow the“eight glasses a day” rule. But you do want to drink enough water to keep your body functioning well. 39 The walk there will also help you wake up.
Play your favorite music.
40 So put on your favorite song, and sing away. If you' re at work and don't want to face others' puzzled looks, you might want to save your beautiful voice for the car.
A. Have a big meal.
B Take a few deep breaths.
C. Singing helps decrease levels of stress in your body.
D. If you really can't get out, at least open the window.

I've learned that you feel upset in the new environment. I'm sorry about that. As a matter of fact, it's quite natural for you to have such a depressed feeling in a new class where cultural differences make it difficult to understand each other.【高分句型一】(给予安慰)
Things will eventually sort themselves out. Make some friends first, which will make you feel better. Also,turn to your friends, classmates or teachers whenever you are in trouble.

If you like, I will help you adapt to Chinese customs, and l will introduce my friends to you as well. When you are familiar with them, you'll surely feel better and enjoy your stay in China.【高分句型二) (提出建议)

Yours,
