No puck is used. Players hop through the pattern on one foot. You may rest in the center on both feet. After resting, hop back through the pattern and out. If you finish the pattern without stepping on a line, write your name in a space. No other player may land in that space. At the end, the player who owns the most spaces wins. La Thunkuna Children play this game in Bolivia, a country in South America. The puck is a stone or the peel from an orange.

Next, kick the puck backwards and out of the pattern. Then, hop out. On your next turn, throw the puck into the next space, and so on. The first player to hop all the way through wins.

Here are the latest policies released on June 3 for departing to and from Hainan. As we all know, things are always in a state of flux when it comes to these rules and regulations, so we still suggest you check with your airlines or the transport authority before departing to make sure there are no new policies. Medium and High-Risk Areas If you have any history of visiting a medium or high-risk area within 14 days, seven-day concentrated isolation is mandatory and you must take a COVID-19 test on the first, second, third, fifth, and seventh days. After quarantine and a negative test result, you must observe home health monitoring for another three days. On the 10th day after your arrival in Hainan, another test will be taken using the “double testing, double sampling” method. General Infected Areas If you plan to enter Hainan from or have visited a general infected area within 14 days, starting from the day of departure from that area, you must provide two negative COVID-19 tests within 48 hours, and each test must be more than 24 hours apart. Criteria for two negative COVID-19 test reports within 48 hours: ●The report must be within the 48-hour of the planned departure time. ●The time of the COVID-19 test is based on when the sample was taken. If the time cannot be determined, it will default to six hours before the time of the report. ●The second COVID-19 test must take place 24 hours after the first test. If the second test is taken between 20-24 hours from the first test, another free test will be administered at the customs gate when arriving in Hainan, and you can leave after the sample is taken. ●If the second COVID-19 test is done in less than 20 hours you will not be able to depart to Hainan. If there is no specific sampling time on the reports, but they are dated a day apart, you will need to take the free test on arrival in Hainan provided by customs. Unable to provide two negative test results within 48 hours and not from general infected area... If you can provide one negative COVID-19 test result within 48 hours, you will be required to take a test upon arrival in Hainan. After the test, you will wait for your results in a centralized waiting area. If the results are negative, you only need to self monitor for 14 days. If you cannot provide a COVID-19 test result within 48 hours, you will also need to take a test upon arrival and wait in a centralized waiting area for your results. If it is negative, you are free to go, but you must take another test after 24 hours. After a second negative result, you are required to self-monitor for 14 days. Children three years old or younger will fall under their parents’ COVID-19 tests reports. Tips 1. Apply for the Hainan health code or State Council health code at least one day before you travel. Confirm the green code, and travel according to the requirements of the destination prevention policy-if you experience health code abnormalities or fail to meet the requirements of the destination’s policies and your trip is affected, you bear the responsibility. 2. Passengers leaving Hainan with a fever and other symptoms can only travel with a fever clinic record and negative COVID-19 test results and a green Hainan Health Code or green State Council Health Code. otherwise, boarding will not be allowed.

It took just five months to complete the original 12 work studios. Shortly after that, a fourth floor of studios and living apartments was built on top of these. The first container city was so successful that another—Container City II—was added to it. Los Angeles Redondo Beach house With its modern lines and appealing spaces, the award-winning Redondo Beach House is a luxury beachside showpiece built from eight recycled steel shipping containers, along with some traditional building materials. According to the architects, the modified containers are “nearly indestructible”. Amsterdam Keetwonen Amsterdam’s massive Keetwonen complex houses 1,000 students and it is the largest container city in the world. The housing project is a roaring success and features units that are quiet and comfortable. Each resident enjoys a bathroom, a kitchen and separate sleeping and studying quarters. The complex even has central heating and high-speed internet as well as areas for parking bikes. Mexico M2ATK Container House M2ATK designed this unique container house for an artist. It’s fully equipped with heating and cooling, a kitchen and bathroom. On the bottom floor of the house are “public spaces” such as the kitchen and living room. The second floor are bedrooms, and the top floor is a studio space in which to work, read and “let fly the imagination”. 1．Compared to traditional houses, container houses are________.

These 20-or 40-foot containers can be obtained for as little as several hundred US dollars a piece, and it’s not surprising that some industry professionals and even city planners consider them the future of home building.(船运集装箱作为传统房屋的替代品越来越受到欢迎。这些10或者40英寸的集装箱没见只需要几百美元，一些行业的专业人士甚至城市规划者将其视为家庭建筑的未来也不足为奇了。)”可知，集装箱房屋与传统房屋相比，其优势在于它的价格便宜，故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Amsterdam’s massive Keetwonen complex houses 1,000 students and it is the largest container city in the world. The housing project is a roaring success and features units that are quiet and comfortable. Each resident enjoys a bathroom, a kitchen and separate sleeping and studying quarters. The complex even has central heating and high-speed internet as well as areas for parking bikes.(阿姆斯特丹庞大的Keetwonen综合楼容纳了1000名学生，是世界上最大的集装箱城市。该住宅项目取得了巨大的成功，拥有安静舒适的单元。每位居民都享有一间浴室、一件厨房以及独立的睡眠和学习区。)”可知，阿姆斯特丹庞大的Keetwonen有着现代设施，独立浴室、厨房、睡眠区和学习区，故选B。 3．细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“On the bottom floor of the house are “public spaces” such as the kitchen and living room.

C．All of the supplies in the emergency kit should not be stored in waterproof and portable containers. D．Children should not be allowed to include their favorites books and stuffed animals in the kit. 【答案】1．B 2．B 3．B 【导语】本文是一篇海报。该海报介绍的是面临紧急情况所做的各种物资准备。 1．细节理解题。结合海报内容和题干“which groups of items will be the Pearson family (father with chronic disease, mother, a 10-month-old infant, and a pet dog) to pack into their limited-size emergency supplies kit besides necessities such as food, water and clothes?(皮尔逊一家(患有慢性疾病的父亲、母亲、一个10个月大的婴儿和一只宠物狗)，除了食物、水和衣服等必需品外，还要往他们有限的应急用品包里塞多少东西?)”可知，因为有患有疾病的父亲，故药品是必须要准备的，同时对于一个10个月大的婴儿需要准备的是一些婴儿奶粉和尿布；对于一只宠物需要准备的是宠物食品，同时在紧急情况下还可以准备毯子进行保暖。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据海报中My Personal Pack Checklist部分中“Have them include things like their favorite book or stuffed animal. These familiar will help keep them comfortable during an emergency.(包括他们最喜欢的书或毛绒玩具。这些熟悉的东西将帮助他们在紧急情况下保持舒适)”可知，在紧急情况下孩子们有一个个人包可以给他们营造一种安全感和熟悉感，由此让他们感到舒服。故选B。 3．细节理解题。根据海报中“NOTE: Replace food every six months. Re-think your kit and family needs once a year. Replace batteries and update clothes, etc.(注意：每六个月更换食物。每年重新考虑您的应急用品包和家庭需求。更换电池并更新衣物等)”可知，每年重新考虑应急用品包和家庭需求来调整应急物资包的内容。A选项“Families should adjust the contents of the emergency supplies kit every other year based on needs.(每两年，家庭应根据需求调整应急物资包的内容。)”与原文不符，故A错误。同时，根据EMERGENCY SUPPLIES KIT中“Important family documents such as copies of insurance policies, identification and bank account records in a waterproof, portable container. Remember to include emergency contact numbers(重要的家庭文件，如保险单副本，身份证明和银行账户记录，放在防水的便携式容器中。记得附上紧急联系电话)”可知，重要的家庭文件可以放在防水的便携式容器中，C选项“All of the supplies in the emergency kit should not be stored in waterproof and portable containers.(应急包中的所有用品不应存放在防水和便携式容器中)”与原文不符，故C选项错误；同时根据海报中My Personal Pack Checklist部分中“Have them include things like their favorite book or stuffed animal. These familiar will help keep them comfortable during an emergency.(包括他们最喜欢的书或毛绒玩具。这些熟悉的东西将帮助他们在紧急情况下保持舒适)”可知，孩子们可以在包里放上他们最喜欢的书和毛绒玩具，D选项“Children should not be allowed to include their favorites books and stuffed animals in the kit.(孩子们不应该被允许把他们最喜欢的书和填充动物放在应急物资包里)”与原文不符，故D选项错误。由此排除ACD，同时通读全文，海报中没有具体的项目来解决不同自然灾害中的需求。B选项“There are no specific items in the poster that address the needs in different natural disasters.(海报中没有具体的项目来解决不同自然灾害中的需求)”正确。故选B。 06 【来源】上海市嘉定区2022-2023学年高二下学期期末统考英语试题 BBC Science Focus Magazine SubscriptionIdeas, discoveries, and the big questions answered Annual frequency: 14 Issues Per Year Delivery: UK & Worldwide Next issue available: 08 Jul 2023 Cancellation  About the magazine  FAQ  Give a gift Q．When will my subscription start?

The lunch will be taken in the Cotswolds village of Burford.(在传统的英国酒吧犒劳自己，欣赏这个古老的羊毛小镇的魅力。将在科茨沃尔德的伯福德村享用午餐。)”可知，可以在科茨沃尔德德的伯福德村用餐，然后买一条羊毛围巾，所以A项正确；根据“Stratford”下面的“Shakespeare’s birthplace”和“Satisfy yourself with an eye-opening experience at the childhood home of William Shakespeare’s wife!(在威廉·莎士比亚的妻子儿时的家中度过一段令人大开眼界的经历，让自己感到满足！)”可知，莎士比亚和妻子均在斯特拉特福德出生，所以C项正确；根据“Oxford”下面的“Well-known for over 900 years as a centre of academic excellence.(作为学术卓越中心，900多年来一直享有盛名。)”可知，牛津大学有900多年的历史，所以D项正确。根据“Days of operation”下面的“April 2009 to March 2010—Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday(2009年4月至2010年3月——星期二、星期四和星期六)”可知，这个旅游活动的有效期为2009年4月至2010年3月，所以2010年5月不能使用，B项错误。故选B。 4．词义猜测题。根据画线词后的relaxing(令人放松的)可知，and前后描述的内容应相照应，所以这里是说以一种悠闲而轻松的步调探索牛津大学城。leisurely意为“不慌不忙的，慢悠悠的”。A项意为“匆忙的”；B项意为“平缓的，徐缓的”；C项意为“容易的，安逸的”；D项意为“不急不忙的”。A项与leisurely的意思相差最大。故选A。 08 【来源】上海市浦东新区2022-2023学年高二期末英语练习卷 Samsung Saying that Samsung makes great tablets might sound strange to someone not too familiar with their devices, but the company has made some interesting strides with tablets.

And with an additional keyboard, great displays and long battery life, the Surface tablets make for great machines for work or play respectively.Best tablet: Microsoft Surface Pro 8 Amazon Amazon does indeed make tablets and, they’re capable too. Amazon’s Fire HD tablets are firmly in the budget tablet range but that doesn’t make them less capable.

Here are the latest policies released on June 3 for departing to and from Hainan. As we all know, things are always in a state of flux when it comes to these rules and regulations, so we still suggest you check with your airlines or the transport authority before departing to make sure there are no new policies. Medium and High-Risk Areas If you have any history of visiting a medium or high-risk area within 14 days, seven-day concentrated isolation is mandatory and you must take a COVID-19 test on the first, second, third, fifth, and seventh days. After quarantine and a negative test result, you must observe home health monitoring for another three days. On the 10th day after your arrival in Hainan, another test will be taken using the “double testing, double sampling” method. General Infected Areas If you plan to enter Hainan from or have visited a general infected area within 14 days, starting from the day of departure from that area, you must provide two negative COVID-19 tests within 48 hours, and each test must be more than 24 hours apart. Criteria for two negative COVID-19 test reports within 48 hours: ●The report must be within the 48-hour of the planned departure time. ●The time of the COVID-19 test is based on when the sample was taken. If the time cannot be determined, it will default to six hours before the time of the report. ●The second COVID-19 test must take place 24 hours after the first test. If the second test is taken between 20-24 hours from the first test, another free test will be administered at the customs gate when arriving in Hainan, and you can leave after the sample is taken. ●If the second COVID-19 test is done in less than 20 hours you will not be able to depart to Hainan. If there is no specific sampling time on the reports, but they are dated a day apart, you will need to take the free test on arrival in Hainan provided by customs. Unable to provide two negative test results within 48 hours and not from general infected area... If you can provide one negative COVID-19 test result within 48 hours, you will be required to take a test upon arrival in Hainan. After the test, you will wait for your results in a centralized waiting area. If the results are negative, you only need to self monitor for 14 days. If you cannot provide a COVID-19 test result within 48 hours, you will also need to take a test upon arrival and wait in a centralized waiting area for your results. If it is negative, you are free to go, but you must take another test after 24 hours. After a second negative result, you are required to self-monitor for 14 days. Children three years old or younger will fall under their parents’ COVID-19 tests reports. Tips 1. Apply for the Hainan health code or State Council health code at least one day before you travel. Confirm the green code, and travel according to the requirements of the destination prevention policy-if you experience health code abnormalities or fail to meet the requirements of the destination’s policies and your trip is affected, you bear the responsibility. 2. Passengers leaving Hainan with a fever and other symptoms can only travel with a fever clinic record and negative COVID-19 test results and a green Hainan Health Code or green State Council Health Code. otherwise, boarding will not be allowed. While there are many different requirements, as long as you stay up to date, get your tests and make sure you’re prepared, you can be lounging in the sun, sipping tropical drinks and enjoying delicious seafood in Hainan! 1．According to the article, which of the following is NOT included in the suggestions for prospective travellers to Hainan?
