Discovering?Tasmania
The?island?of?Tasmania?is a place of natural beauty and has more than?2,000 km?of walking tracks and 18 national parks. If you go on a tour, you'll discover a wild and beautiful place where the people are friendly and the food is delicious. If you don't like walking, there are other tours you can choose from including a river cruise and cycling. You can also enjoy fishing, sailing or sunbathing on the beach.
The Tarkine coast is located in the northwest of?Tasmania. It's such a wild and remote area that you can easily complete your walk without seeing anyone apart from the members of your group and your two guides. The area contains the largest rainforest in?Australia?which is home to more than 50 endangered species. It is also home to many Aboriginal Heritage Sites. During your tour, you'll come across rivers, mountain ranges, waterfalls(瀑布), wildlife and long wild beaches.
Tour plan:
Day 1:
You're picked up from your hotel in Launceston and driven to the Tarkine. You then complete a three-hour walk through the forest before arriving at your camp at Mystery Creek. There you will enjoy a delicious meal cooked by your guides.
Day 2:
After breakfast, you continue deeper into the rainforest, passing some of the tallest trees in the world as you go, and stopping for lunch and then camping in the evening.
Day 3:
The exciting part of today's tour is the?Tarkine?Falls, a beautiful 15-metre waterfall.
Day 4:
You can stay at the camp and bathe in the?Tarkine?Falls, or you can go for a walk for more fantastic views of the forest.
Day 5:
After a last journey through the forest, you are picked up at about 4 p.m. and you arrive in Launceston at around 7 p.m. The tour includes two professional guides, transport to and from the rainforest, all food while on the tours and all safety equipment.

Bertha von Suttner received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1905 — she was the first woman to receive it, and also the inspiration(灵感) for the creation of the Nobel Prize.
She met Alfred Nobel, a rich millionaire, by answering his newspaper ad for a secretary. Although she only worked for him for a few weeks, she remained good friends with Alfred Nobel for the next 20 years. When she became involved in the peace movement in?Europe, she promised to keep Nobel informed of its progress. When Alfred Nobel died in 1896, his will included the establishment of a peace prize, thanks to Bertha von Suttner's influence.
Bertha von Suttner was born in an aristocratic (贵族的) military family, but she spent the second half of her life working for peace. She wrote books, attended peace conferences, gave lectures and helped organize peace societies in?Austria,?Germany?and?Hungary, as well as the International Peace Bureau in Switzerland. Her novel,?Lay Down Your Arms, was one of the most influential anti-war books of all time, and helped to make her a leader of the peace movement in?Europe. Its end to war theme(主题) was both the ambition and the most important goal in the life of this great woman.
Bertha von Suttner worked so hard for peace because she believed that a terrible war would break out in Europe if nations didn't work hard to establish lasting peace institutions(机构). She made many major achievements for a more peaceful world, but two months after she died, World War I broke out. A hundred years after she won the Nobel Peace Prize, nations still seem to view war as a choice to work out their problems. But like Bertha von Suttner did, many today are working hard around the world to help strengthen peace institutions and spread the idea that it's time to put an end to war.
24. Bertha von Suttner _____.
A. worked for Alfred Nobel for 20 years
B. helped Alfred Nobel draw up his will
C. persuaded Alfred Nobel to join the peace movement
D. inspired Alfred Nobel to establish the Nobel Peace Prize
25. Paragraph 3 is mainly about Bertha von Suttner's _____.
A. efforts and contributions to the peace movement
B. family background and work experiences
C. writing career and life experiences
D. ambition and goals in life
26. What do we know about?Lay Down Your Arms?
A. It was based on a true story.
B. It recorded Bertha von Suttner's daily life.
C. It was about an aristocratic military family.
D. It showed Bertha von Suttner's wish for peace.
27. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. Bertha von Suttner's fight for peace is still shared by many.21教育网
B. Bertha von Suttner failed to found peace institutions.
C. Bertha von Suttner successfully predicted a war.
D. Bertha von Suttner lost her life in World War I.

For years, scientists have been puzzled by the mysterious “sailing stones” of?Death Valley.
Located in California's Death Valley National Park, the heavy stones appear to move across the dried lake bed known as Racetrack Playa, leaving a trail behind them in the mud.
Scientists have tried to solve the puzzle of the sailing stones for many years. Some researchers believed the strong winds that frequently blow across the vast lake bed could cause the rocks to slide across the ground. This and other theories were eventually disproved, leaving scientists without an explanation.
In 2006, Ralph Lorenz, a NASA scientist, took an interest in the mysterious sailing stones of Racetrack Playa.
Lorenz developed a kitchen-table model — using an ordinary Tupperware container — to show how the rocks might slide across the surface of the lake bed.
“I took a small rock and put it in a piece of Tupperware, and filled it with water so there was an inch of water with a bit of the rock sticking out,” Lorenz said.
After putting the container in the freezer, Lorenz ended up with a small piece of ice with a rock embedded (嵌入) in it. By placing the ice-bound rock in a large tray (盘) of water with sand at the bottom, all he had to do was gently blow on the rock to get it to move across the water. And as the ice-embedded rock moved, it left a trail in the sand at the tray's bottom.
Lorenz's research team believed that under certain winter conditions in?Death Valley, enough water and ice could form to float the rocks across the muddy bottom of Racetrack Playa in a light wind, leaving a trail in the mud as the rocks moved.
However, some visitors to?Death Valley?seem to prefer more mysterious explanations for the sailing stones.
“People always ask, ‘What do you think causes them to move?' But if you try to explain, they don't always want to hear the answers,” park worker Alan van Valkenburg said. “People like a mystery — they like an unanswered question.”
28. For years, scientists had no idea _____.
A. where the stones came from
B. what caused the stones to move
C. whether the stones moved or not
D. when the stones were discovered ???
29. Before Ralph Lorenz's experiment, scientists' years of efforts to solve the puzzle seemed to be _____.2-1-c-n-j-y
A. brave ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? B. special??????
C. meaningless ?????????? ???????? D. fruitless???????????
30. Which of the following shows the right order of Lorenz's experiment?
a. freezing the container
b. putting a rock in the container
c. making the rock move in the tray
d. preparing a tray of water with sand in it
A. a-b-c-d????? ????????????? ??? B. a-d-b-c【来源：21·世纪·教育·网】
C. b-a-d-c ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? D. b-d-c-a
31. According to Alan van Valkenburg, some visitors to?Death Valley?_____.
A. prefer to see the puzzle unsolved
B. believe the answer given by Lorenz
C. care little about why the stones move
D. try to uncover the mystery themselves
?D
The Blind Side?is a compelling (吸引人的) movie that tells the true story of Michael Oher, a homeless young man who is welcomed into a Christian family. Michael, now a senior in high school, ends up living on the streets with no belongings and no real hope.
Leigh Anne, a wealthy mom, discovers Michael and welcomes him into her family. They put Michael in a private high school. At first, the school is?reluctant?to take Michael in because of his poor academic record. However, the coach accepts him.
Michael slowly learns to trust Leigh Anne, and her family accepts him. Michael, who is typically quiet and withdrawn (内向的), very slowly begins to open up to them and even starts to smile.
When Michael's grades improve, he joins the football team. Being a very large and strong young man, Michael is given the job of blocking for the quarterback (四分卫). At first Michael, who's never played football before, is not aggressive enough. In fact, it turns out that the coach was hoping that a boy from “the streets” would be violent. However, Leigh Anne understands Michael and remembers that he had scored high on “protectiveness” on a school test. She helps Michael see that protecting the quarterback is like protecting her or protecting the family. This change in view turns Michael into a star player.
The Blind Side?is an encouraging movie with fine storytelling. The directing in?The Blind Side?is fantastic. Also, the story carries great emotional depth.
There is a very strong message of faith in?The Blind Side. It's very clear that Leigh Anne helps Michael because she thinks it's the right thing to do. All in all, the message of faith and hope in?The Blind Side?is very clear, and the movie is extremely moving.

It's been 26 years since we saw laces (鞋带) magically tightening Marty McFly's Nike shoes in?Back to the Future.21*cnjy*com
Now, self-tying shoelaces could actually become a reality this year, proving right one of the film's fantastical predictions for what 2015 would be like.
Engineers have designed a shoe that can automatically lace up, adjusting(使..适应) itself to the shape of your foot.
Simply put on the trainer and pressure sensors will tell the?“smart shoe”?when your foot is in position, working on a tiny motor in the heel that pulls the laces tight. When you want to take off the shoes, you knock your heels together twice and the spring (弹簧) in the shoe's tongue will loosen the laces enough for you to take them off.?
The design, which is still in its early stage, cleverly gets the energy of the foot's swing when opposing magnets (磁铁) in each shoe move past each other. It then uses that power to charge a battery (电池). An hour of walking is enough to tighten the laces once, and it requires no energy to undo the shoes because that relies on the spring alone.
Engineer Klevis Ylli, of the Institute for Micromachining and Information Technology in southern Germany, said the shoes could help a variety of different people. “It could be used in shoes for elderly people who have mobility problems,” he said. “And it could also work for children, or as a lifestyle product.”
Mr Ylli and a team from the University of Freiburg, who describe their design in the journal?Smart Materials and Structures?today, are also developing a small device that could be put in shoes to make them act as a navigation system to track the wearer's movements. The designers hope it could be used to help emergency services navigate around unfamiliar buildings.
1. In the film?Back to the Future, Marty McFly's Nike shoes probably could _____.
A. recharge themselves
B. be used as a navigator
C. automatically tie their laces
D. adjust themselves to any feet
2. The fourth paragraph is mainly about _____.
A. how the “smart shoe” works
B. who likes the “smart shoe” most
C. what the “smart shoe” is made of
D. why the “smart shoe” was invented
3. What can we learn about the shoes the engineers have designed?
A. They have been put to use.
B. They can be used for the old.
C. They need one hour to loosen the laces.
D. They have been in the design stage for 26 years.
4. The underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refers to “_____”.
A. the Nike shoe
B. the navigation device
C. the self-tying shoelace
D. the wearer's movement
5. The text is most probably _____.
A. a film review
B. a research paper
C. an advertisement
D. a newspaper report
?B
Each summer, the 10,000 citizens of Bu?ol like to paint the town red. They are joined in this by thousands of tourists who visit the Valencian town to take part in the world's largest tomato fight, the Tomatina.
What began as a food fight between neighbors back in 1945 has grown into an international event. But this year one thing has changed.
The Tomatina used to be a free-for-all, but like many other cultural events on the Spanish calendar, it has been hit by the recession (a period when a country's economic growth slows down). For the first time, this year's visitors have had to pay at least??10 (￡9) for the privilege of throwing tomatoes at each other and passersby. For??750, you can go even further, and jump onto one of the trucks that carry the tomatoes into the town, thus giving yourself the advantage of making the first attacks.
The town hall can no longer afford to pay the bill for the truckloads of fresh tomatoes and the police and medical workers needed in case of a tomato-based emergency(紧急情况).
The mayor of Bu?ol, Joaquín Masmano Palmer, told a press conference the decision to charge visitors was one that “no one wanted to take” but that the growing popularity of the festival, which last year saw around 40,000 participants join in, left him with no choice. People came from thousands of miles away, he said, “without being able even to touch a tomato.” Charging would keep numbers down and make the experience more enjoyable for everyone.
This is the first year Bu?ol is charging for access to this popular festival. Limiting the crowd may help reduce the risk of injury and other problems, according to the town hall.
Whatever the reason for the introduction of an entrance fee, the fact that throwing a tomato is no longer free is being seen as a sign of the times. The Tomatina has become “a great symbol of the economic recession that is threatening?Spain,” according to?El País?newspaper.
6. In the past, the running costs of the Tomatina were paid by _____.
A. the Bu?ol town hall
B. the Spanish government
C. the Tomatina participants
D. some local neighborhoods
7. Palmer felt that the decision to charge visitors _____.
A. was a difficult choice??
B. seemed quite unnecessary
C. was unfair to the town hall?
D. required further discussion?
8. One reason for charging for access to the Tomatina is _____.21·世纪*教育网
A. to buy more tomatoes for visitors
B. to raise money for tomato farmers
C. to make the event more popular?
D. to guarantee people's safety
9.?El País?newspaper believes the change _____.
A. may bring the festival to an end
B. shows?Spain's economic situation
C. will lead to a rise in tomato prices
D. will help prevent the economic recession
10. What does the author want to tell us about the Tomatina?
A. Its general rules.
B. Its interesting origin.?
C. Its newly charged entrance fee.?
D. Its influence on Bu?ol's economy.

One possible version:
My favourite movie Lord of War is adapted from a true story. The main character Yuri Orlov, played by the famous American actor Nicolas Cage, was an arms merchant. He tried to persuade his brother to deal with arms together. After he married, he decided to leave the illegal business. But after several failures, he took up his old job again. At last, his brother died in a deal and his wife and child left him, leaving him alone and blaming himself every day.
Cage performed perfectly in the film. The movie moved a large audience because it made people think deeply about life, human nature and conscience.

Bertha von Suttner received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1905 — she was the first woman to receive it, and also the inspiration(灵感) for the creation of the Nobel Prize.
She met Alfred Nobel, a rich millionaire, by answering his newspaper ad for a secretary. Although she only worked for him for a few weeks, she remained good friends with Alfred Nobel for the next 20 years. When she became involved in the peace movement in?Europe, she promised to keep Nobel informed of its progress. When Alfred Nobel died in 1896, his will included the establishment of a peace prize, thanks to Bertha von Suttner's influence.
Bertha von Suttner was born in an aristocratic (贵族的) military family, but she spent the second half of her life working for peace. She wrote books, attended peace conferences, gave lectures and helped organize peace societies in?Austria,?Germany?and?Hungary, as well as the International Peace Bureau in Switzerland. Her novel,?Lay Down Your Arms, was one of the most influential anti-war books of all time, and helped to make her a leader of the peace movement in?Europe. Its end to war theme(主题) was both the ambition and the most important goal in the life of this great woman.
Bertha von Suttner worked so hard for peace because she believed that a terrible war would break out in Europe if nations didn't work hard to establish lasting peace institutions(机构). She made many major achievements for a more peaceful world, but two months after she died, World War I broke out. A hundred years after she won the Nobel Peace Prize, nations still seem to view war as a choice to work out their problems. But like Bertha von Suttner did, many today are working hard around the world to help strengthen peace institutions and spread the idea that it's time to put an end to war.
24. Bertha von Suttner _____.
A. worked for Alfred Nobel for 20 years
B. helped Alfred Nobel draw up his will
C. persuaded Alfred Nobel to join the peace movement
D. inspired Alfred Nobel to establish the Nobel Peace Prize
25. Paragraph 3 is mainly about Bertha von Suttner's _____.
A. efforts and contributions to the peace movement
B. family background and work experiences
C. writing career and life experiences
D. ambition and goals in life
26. What do we know about?Lay Down Your Arms?
A. It was based on a true story.
B. It recorded Bertha von Suttner's daily life.
C. It was about an aristocratic military family.
D. It showed Bertha von Suttner's wish for peace.
27. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. Bertha von Suttner's fight for peace is still shared by many.21教育网

C. Bertha von Suttner successfully predicted a war.
D. Bertha von Suttner lost her life in World War I.

For years, scientists have been puzzled by the mysterious “sailing stones” of?Death Valley.
Located in California's Death Valley National Park, the heavy stones appear to move across the dried lake bed known as Racetrack Playa, leaving a trail behind them in the mud.
Scientists have tried to solve the puzzle of the sailing stones for many years. Some researchers believed the strong winds that frequently blow across the vast lake bed could cause the rocks to slide across the ground. This and other theories were eventually disproved, leaving scientists without an explanation.
In 2006, Ralph Lorenz, a NASA scientist, took an interest in the mysterious sailing stones of Racetrack Playa.
Lorenz developed a kitchen-table model — using an ordinary Tupperware container — to show how the rocks might slide across the surface of the lake bed.
“I took a small rock and put it in a piece of Tupperware, and filled it with water so there was an inch of water with a bit of the rock sticking out,” Lorenz said.
After putting the container in the freezer, Lorenz ended up with a small piece of ice with a rock embedded (嵌入) in it. By placing the ice-bound rock in a large tray (盘) of water with sand at the bottom, all he had to do was gently blow on the rock to get it to move across the water. And as the ice-embedded rock moved, it left a trail in the sand at the tray's bottom.
Lorenz's research team believed that under certain winter conditions in?Death Valley, enough water and ice could form to float the rocks across the muddy bottom of Racetrack Playa in a light wind, leaving a trail in the mud as the rocks moved.
However, some visitors to?Death Valley?seem to prefer more mysterious explanations for the sailing stones.
“People always ask, ‘What do you think causes them to move?' But if you try to explain, they don't always want to hear the answers,” park worker Alan van Valkenburg said. “People like a mystery — they like an unanswered question.”
28. For years, scientists had no idea _____.
A. where the stones came from
B. what caused the stones to move
C. whether the stones moved or not
D. when the stones were discovered ???
29. Before Ralph Lorenz's experiment, scientists' years of efforts to solve the puzzle seemed to be _____.2-1-c-n-j-y
A. brave ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? B. special??????
C. meaningless ?????????? ???????? D. fruitless???????????
30. Which of the following shows the right order of Lorenz's experiment?
a. freezing the container
b. putting a rock in the container
c. making the rock move in the tray
d. preparing a tray of water with sand in it
A. a-b-c-d????? ????????????? ??? B. a-d-b-c【来源：21·世纪·教育·网】
C. b-a-d-c ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? D. b-d-c-a
31. According to Alan van Valkenburg, some visitors to?Death Valley?_____.
A. prefer to see the puzzle unsolved
B. believe the answer given by Lorenz
C. care little about why the stones move
D. try to uncover the mystery themselves
?D
The Blind Side?is a compelling (吸引人的) movie that tells the true story of Michael Oher, a homeless young man who is welcomed into a Christian family. Michael, now a senior in high school, ends up living on the streets with no belongings and no real hope.
Leigh Anne, a wealthy mom, discovers Michael and welcomes him into her family. They put Michael in a private high school. At first, the school is?reluctant?to take Michael in because of his poor academic record. However, the coach accepts him.
Michael slowly learns to trust Leigh Anne, and her family accepts him. Michael, who is typically quiet and withdrawn (内向的), very slowly begins to open up to them and even starts to smile.
When Michael's grades improve, he joins the football team. Being a very large and strong young man, Michael is given the job of blocking for the quarterback (四分卫). At first Michael, who's never played football before, is not aggressive enough. In fact, it turns out that the coach was hoping that a boy from “the streets” would be violent. However, Leigh Anne understands Michael and remembers that he had scored high on “protectiveness” on a school test. She helps Michael see that protecting the quarterback is like protecting her or protecting the family. This change in view turns Michael into a star player.
The Blind Side?is an encouraging movie with fine storytelling. The directing in?The Blind Side?is fantastic. Also, the story carries great emotional depth.
There is a very strong message of faith in?The Blind Side. It's very clear that Leigh Anne helps Michael because she thinks it's the right thing to do. All in all, the message of faith and hope in?The Blind Side?is very clear, and the movie is extremely moving.

It's been 26 years since we saw laces (鞋带) magically tightening Marty McFly's Nike shoes in?Back to the Future.21*cnjy*com
Now, self-tying shoelaces could actually become a reality this year, proving right one of the film's fantastical predictions for what 2015 would be like.
Engineers have designed a shoe that can automatically lace up, adjusting(使..适应) itself to the shape of your foot.
Simply put on the trainer and pressure sensors will tell the?“smart shoe”?when your foot is in position, working on a tiny motor in the heel that pulls the laces tight. When you want to take off the shoes, you knock your heels together twice and the spring (弹簧) in the shoe's tongue will loosen the laces enough for you to take them off.?
The design, which is still in its early stage, cleverly gets the energy of the foot's swing when opposing magnets (磁铁) in each shoe move past each other. It then uses that power to charge a battery (电池). An hour of walking is enough to tighten the laces once, and it requires no energy to undo the shoes because that relies on the spring alone.
Engineer Klevis Ylli, of the Institute for Micromachining and Information Technology in southern Germany, said the shoes could help a variety of different people. “It could be used in shoes for elderly people who have mobility problems,” he said. “And it could also work for children, or as a lifestyle product.”
Mr Ylli and a team from the University of Freiburg, who describe their design in the journal?Smart Materials and Structures?today, are also developing a small device that could be put in shoes to make them act as a navigation system to track the wearer's movements. The designers hope it could be used to help emergency services navigate around unfamiliar buildings.

Each summer, the 10,000 citizens of Bu?ol like to paint the town red. They are joined in this by thousands of tourists who visit the Valencian town to take part in the world's largest tomato fight, the Tomatina.
What began as a food fight between neighbors back in 1945 has grown into an international event. But this year one thing has changed.
The Tomatina used to be a free-for-all, but like many other cultural events on the Spanish calendar, it has been hit by the recession (a period when a country's economic growth slows down). For the first time, this year's visitors have had to pay at least??10 (￡9) for the privilege of throwing tomatoes at each other and passersby. For??750, you can go even further, and jump onto one of the trucks that carry the tomatoes into the town, thus giving yourself the advantage of making the first attacks.
The town hall can no longer afford to pay the bill for the truckloads of fresh tomatoes and the police and medical workers needed in case of a tomato-based emergency(紧急情况).
The mayor of Bu?ol, Joaquín Masmano Palmer, told a press conference the decision to charge visitors was one that “no one wanted to take” but that the growing popularity of the festival, which last year saw around 40,000 participants join in, left him with no choice. People came from thousands of miles away, he said, “without being able even to touch a tomato.” Charging would keep numbers down and make the experience more enjoyable for everyone.
This is the first year Bu?ol is charging for access to this popular festival. Limiting the crowd may help reduce the risk of injury and other problems, according to the town hall.
Whatever the reason for the introduction of an entrance fee, the fact that throwing a tomato is no longer free is being seen as a sign of the times. The Tomatina has become “a great symbol of the economic recession that is threatening?Spain,” according to?El País?newspaper.
6. In the past, the running costs of the Tomatina were paid by _____.
A. the Bu?ol town hall
B. the Spanish government
C. the Tomatina participants
D. some local neighborhoods
7. Palmer felt that the decision to charge visitors _____.
A. was a difficult choice??
B. seemed quite unnecessary
C. was unfair to the town hall?
D. required further discussion?
8. One reason for charging for access to the Tomatina is _____.21·世纪*教育网
A. to buy more tomatoes for visitors
B. to raise money for tomato farmers
C. to make the event more popular?
D. to guarantee people's safety
9.?El País?newspaper believes the change _____.
A. may bring the festival to an end
B. shows?Spain's economic situation
C. will lead to a rise in tomato prices
D. will help prevent the economic recession
10. What does the author want to tell us about the Tomatina?
A. Its general rules.
B. Its interesting origin.?
C. Its newly charged entrance fee.?
D. Its influence on Bu?ol's economy.

One possible version:
My favourite movie Lord of War is adapted from a true story. The main character Yuri Orlov, played by the famous American actor Nicolas Cage, was an arms merchant. He tried to persuade his brother to deal with arms together. After he married, he decided to leave the illegal business. But after several failures, he took up his old job again. At last, his brother died in a deal and his wife and child left him, leaving him alone and blaming himself every day.
Cage performed perfectly in the film. The movie moved a large audience because it made people think deeply about life, human nature and conscience.
