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!
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. What are the four people pleased with about the trip?

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.”
4. 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.
5. What does Salopek think of the conversation with strangers?
A. Fruitful. B. Discouraging.
C. Challenging. D. Time-wasted.
6. 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.
7. What do we know about slow journalism?
A. Realistic and worthwhile. B. Influential but informal.
C. Humorous and relaxing. D. Efficient and meaningful.
【答案】4. C 5. A 6. C 7. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了国家地理探险家Paul Salopek的徒步旅程,他从非洲出发,重走人类祖先迁徙至南美洲的路线,并沿途记录所见所闻,分享普通人的故事。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“National Geographic Explorer Paul Salopek is walking from Africa to the tip of South America.(国家地理探险家保罗·萨洛佩克正在从非洲步行到南美洲的顶端。)”和第二段“Salopek has named his journey the Out of Eden Walk. (萨洛佩克将他的旅程命名为“走出伊甸园之旅”。)”及“During each part of his walk, Paul is joined by a local guide. (在保罗行走的每一部分,都有一名当地导游陪同。)”可推知, “走出伊甸园之旅”是保罗·萨洛佩克(Paul Salopek)在各大洲进行的一次巡回徒步旅行。故选C项。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“As he walks through different countries, landscapes, and cultures, Salopek is documenting what he sees and hears. (当他走过不同的国家、风景和文化时,萨洛佩克正在记录他所看到和听到的东西。)”和第三段“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.’(自从他开始步行以来,他已经与数千人交谈过。正如他所说,‘我与完全陌生的人进行了长达七、八、九年的对话。’)”可知,萨洛佩克记录他自己一路的所见所闻, 故可推知其与陌生人的谈话是有收获的。故选A项。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“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. (作为一名记者,萨洛佩克经常飞到一个地区报道一个故事,然后很快又离开了。但他觉得自己错过了故事的一部分,想更深入地挖掘。走出伊甸园之旅就是从这个愿望中诞生的。)”可知, 保罗·萨洛佩克开始了“走出伊甸园之旅”,是为了挖掘重大新闻故事的更深层次内容。故选C项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“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.”(目标是通过与受影响的普通人交谈,深入探索我们这个时代的一些重大新闻故事。正如萨洛佩克所描述的,“这是关于放慢速度,真正融入当天的故事,了解头条新闻背后的人。”)”可知, 慢速新闻报道耗时但却是值得的。故选 A项。
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.
8. How did Professor Edgard and his team feel when they found the cut marks?
A. Overjoyed. B. Confused. C. Surprised. D. Disappointed.
9. 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.
10. 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.
11. 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
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. D 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述研究者对两块古埃及人头盖骨的研究发现:癌症可能已经存在几千年了。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第二段“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.(西班牙圣地亚哥-德孔波斯特拉大学的Edgard Camaros教授和他的团队在两名4000年前的古埃及人的头骨中发现了切割痕迹和癌症证据,他们对此感到震惊。)”可知,Edgard Camaros和他的团队在发现古埃及人头盖骨上的切口后是感到惊讶的。故选C项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。由文章第三段“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. (Edgard Camaros教授说,其他科学家在1963年已经对头骨进行了研究,但当时的技术还不够先进,无法发现头骨上的手术切割痕迹。)”可知,1963年科学家没有发现古埃及人头盖骨上的切口是由于技术原因。故选B项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。由文章最后一段“Egypt is a great place thanks to its advanced funerary(埋葬的)practices and the dry weather which preserves remains better.(埃及是一个伟大的地方,这要归功于其先进的葬礼习俗和干燥的天气,保存得更好。)”可知,气候使埃及成为保存尸体的好地方。故选D项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。由文章第一段“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. (一项引人注目的发现改变了科学家们对癌症治疗历史的看法。虽然许多人认为癌症是一种只影响现代人类的疾病,但癌症已经存在了数千年,新的研究表明,人类也试图控制它数千年。)”以及下文可知,文章主要讲述研究者对两块古埃及人头盖骨的研究发现:癌症可能已经存在几千年了。所以A项Cancer Has Been Around for Thousands of Years(癌症已经存在了数千年)符合语境。故选A项。
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.
12. 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.
13. What does the underlined word “striving” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Leaving. B. Struggling. C. Preparing. D. Waiting.
14. 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.
15. Where is the text most likely from?
A. A newspaper. B. A science fiction.
C. A travel guide. D. A textbook.
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文为说明文。随着地球人口不断增加, 旧的农业方式已不能满足人们对食物的需求, 科学家将目光转向了海藻。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第二段“The plant-based food companies claim their burgers use less land and water and produce less greenhouse gases.”(植物性食品公司声称他们的汉堡使用更少的土地和水,产生更少的温室气体。) 可知植物性食品公司认为它们的汉堡“使用较少的土地和水, 产生更少的温室气体”, 是环保的。故选D。
【13题详解】
词义猜测题。根据文章第四段“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.”(我认为我们有时需要用一些非正统的方法来提高玩家的兴趣。”“当人们得到他们已经知道的东西时,就没有那么有趣了。当他们的好奇心被唤醒时,新的事物和想法就会进入他们的脑海。)可知Kulsdom是愿意让人们对海藻食物感兴趣的, 因此推断他在努力奋斗使人们转变观念。所以划线词的意思是“奋斗”。故选B。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“In 2008, researchers discovered 14,000-year-old seaweed fragments in southern Chile that had been pressed into cakes and clearly been cooked.”(2008年,研究人员在智利南部发现了1.4万年前的海藻碎片,它们被压成蛋糕,显然是煮过的。)可知,早在14000年前,人们就已经在食用海藻。由此可推知,人们长期以来一直在使用海藻作为食物。故选C。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文可知,根据第一段“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. ”(专家估计,粮食产量必须增加70%才能跟上增长的步伐。以前的农业方法将很快不再是一种选择。根据2018年的一项研究,我们必须远离肉类和乳制品。)可知,随着地球人口的不断增加, 旧的农业方式已不能满足人们对食物的需求, 科学家将目光转向了海藻。所以短文属于食品生产类的。最可能出现在报纸上。故选A项。

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). ___17___
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. ___18___ 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.
___19___
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.

【答案】16. C 17. G 18. D 19. A 20. E
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了了四条让蛇远离自己房子的建议。
【16题详解】
前文“Unfortunately, there’s no sure way to keep snakes out of your building. But don’t despair. (不幸的是,没有确定的方法来防止蛇进入你的建筑。但不要绝望)”提到有一定的希望可以防止蛇进入建筑内,后文四个段落介绍了具体的方法,因此C项“There are things that you can do to help. (你可以做些事情来帮忙)”符合语境,承接前文,总领后文具体内容。故选C。
【17题详解】
前文“Snakes are careful about traveling across trimmed bushes and grass because these plants expose them to predator (捕食者). (蛇在穿过修剪过灌木丛和草地时非常小心,因为这些植物会让它们暴露在捕食者面前)”提到蛇不敢通过修剪过的草地和灌木,因此G项“So it makes sense to trim bushes and grass around your house regularly. (所以定期修剪房子周围的灌木和草是有意义的)”符合语境,指出定期修剪灌木和草很有意义,承接前文。故选G。
【18题详解】
前文“In addition, ground cover plants also provide cover for snakes. (此外,地被植物也为蛇提供了掩护)”指出地被植物可以帮蛇掩护,因此D项“Try to limit the use of these plants in your garden. (尽量限制在花园里使用这些植物)”符合语境,建议尽量少种这类植物,承接前文,其中的these plants指代前文提到的ground cover plants。故选D。
【19题详解】
空处是段落标题,需统领段落内容,且需和其他段落标题一样使用祈使句的形式。根据后文“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. (房主应该检查地基,寻找蛇可能进入的地方。如果可能,蛇会爬到你的房子下面。一定要封住裂缝或开口,以免蛇通过。蛇的另一个入口可能是门。堵住这些开口)”可知,本段建议封堵蛇能进入房子的地方,因此A项“Block entries to the house. (堵住房子的入口)”符合语境,契合段落内容,其中的entries和后文的entry points呼应。故选A。
【20题详解】
前文“There are things homeowners can do to help prevent attracting them and snakes. (房主可以做一些事情来帮助防止吸引它们和蛇)”提到房主可以采取一些行动,后文“That will bring in the animals, which will bring in the snakes. (那就会引来动物,再引来蛇)”指出某物可以招引动物和蛇,因此E项“One is to avoid leaving an available cat or dog food outdoors. (一是避免在户外留下可用的猫粮或狗粮)”符合语境,建议避免在户外放置猫粮或狗粮,承上启下,其中的an available cat or dog food是后文That指代的对象。故选E。

【36题详解】
考查定冠词。句意:展厅中有四个永久性展厅,分别展出陶瓷、玉器和印章。空格处用定冠词the特指展厅,故填the。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:展厅中有四个永久性展厅,分别展出陶瓷、玉器和印章。句中谓语是are,空格处用非谓语动词,ones和dedicate之间是逻辑动宾关系,因此空格处用过去分词表被动,故填dedicated。
【38题详解】

【39题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:陶瓷画廊占地1800平方米,展出了558件精心挑选的展品,其中一半是首次向公众展示。此处是“介词+which/whom”引导的非限制性定语从句,先行词exhibits是展品,因此空格处用which,故填which。

考查不定式。句意:本次展览分为七个部分,追溯了中国古代陶瓷的演变,并让参观者欣赏精选的展品。allow sb. to do sth.是固定短语,意为“让某人做某事”,因此空格处用不定式to enjoy,故填to enjoy。
【41题详解】

【42题详解】
考查时态,语态和主谓一致。句意:翻新后增加了关于中华民国货币的新章节。由since可知,句子时态是现在完成时,New sections和add之间是逻辑动宾关系,因此空格处用现在完成时的被动语态have/has been done,主语New sections是复数,因此空格处是have been added。故填have been added。
【43题详解】
考查名词。句意:同时,印章馆展出了573件展品,重点展示了中国印章的历史意义和艺术演变。historical是形容词,修饰名词,significant的名词是significance,意为“意义”,是不可数名词作宾语,故填significance。

第二节续写(满分25分)
47. 阅读下面材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段, 使之构成一篇完整的短文。
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.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】“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.

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!
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. What are the four people pleased with about the trip?
A. High-class tour guides. B. Various food choices.
C. Colorful night life. D. Powerful cultural influence.

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.”
4. 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.
5. What does Salopek think of the conversation with strangers?
A. Fruitful. B. Discouraging.
C. Challenging. D. Time-wasted.
6. 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.
7. 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.
8. How did Professor Edgard and his team feel when they found the cut marks?
A. Overjoyed. B. Confused. C. Surprised. D. Disappointed.
9. 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.
10. 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.
11. 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.
12. 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.
13. What does the underlined word “striving” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Leaving. B. Struggling. C. Preparing. D. Waiting.
14. 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.
15. Where is the text most likely from?
A. A newspaper. B. A science fiction.
C. A travel guide. D. A textbook.

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.
