You may have heard of people who are allergic (过敏) to seafood, smoke or pets. But did you know that some people were allergic to Wi-Fi signals?
Rachel Hinks, a 44-year-old woman from Britain, first found herself being allergic to Wi-Fi signals in 2015. She had a cough, heart trouble and great pains in her head when she stayed at the places covered with Wi-Fi signals.
Rachel has tried many ways to keep away from Wi-Fi signals. In the past six months, she either slept in her car or in a tent which she had put up in woodland or in the fields. She has even tried sleeping in a shed (棚). Being completely tired, Rachel had no choice but to quit her job and moved 370 kilometers away from her home to escape Wi-Fi signals, but failed. Because of the hard life, she got a stomach problem.
She is now living in a small house in rural (乡下的) Wales. There are far fewer Wi-Fi signals. However, the house, which belongs to one of her friends, will be sold to others, so she has to move again soon.
Rachel is planning to move to a more rural area. She is also planning to buy a camper van (野营车) so that she can drive away from Wi-Fi signals whenever she is feeling uncomfortable. As she has no job and therefore no income she has to raise money online. She is hoping to raise 15,000 pounds. So far, she has raised over 1,600 pounds. She still has a long way to go.
5. Rachel suffered from ________ when she was allergic.
①cough ②heart problem ③headache ④stomachache
A. ①②③ B. ①②④ C. ②③④ D. ①③④
6. Put the event about Rachel into the CORRECT order according to the text.
a. She slept in a tent in the woodland. b. She is living in her friend’s house.
c. She wants to buy a camper van. d. She had some illnesses because of Wi-Fi signals.
A. a-b-c-d B. c-a-b-d C. d-a-b-c D. b-c-a-d
7. The underlined word “quit” in paragraph 3 means “________”.
A. change B. get C. invite D. stop
8. What does the sentence “She still has a long way to go” in the last paragraph mean?
A. She has trouble finding a place without Wi-Fi signals.
B. If she wants to deal with the difficulties, she must do lots of things.
C. She is enjoyable to raise money.
D. She has overcome (克服) her difficulties.
【答案】5. A 6. C 7. D 8. B

One of the most interesting facts about Angel Falls is how it got its name. It was named after an American pilot. His name was Jimmy Angel. In 1937, his plane crashed near the waterfall. Though local people already knew about it, his story made it famous, and it was later named after him.
Angel Falls drops nearly a kilometre from a table-top mountain. The water seems to be dropping straight out of the clouds. The height of the waterfall is so great that by the time the water reaches the ground, it has already turned into fog (雾).

You may have heard of people who are allergic (过敏) to seafood, smoke or pets. But did you know that some people were allergic to Wi-Fi signals?
Rachel Hinks, a 44-year-old woman from Britain, first found herself being allergic to Wi-Fi signals in 2015. She had a cough, heart trouble and great pains in her head when she stayed at the places covered with Wi-Fi signals.
Rachel has tried many ways to keep away from Wi-Fi signals. In the past six months, she either slept in her car or in a tent which she had put up in woodland or in the fields. She has even tried sleeping in a shed (棚). Being completely tired, Rachel had no choice but to quit her job and moved 370 kilometers away from her home to escape Wi-Fi signals, but failed. Because of the hard life, she got a stomach problem.
She is now living in a small house in rural (乡下的) Wales. There are far fewer Wi-Fi signals. However, the house, which belongs to one of her friends, will be sold to others, so she has to move again soon.
Rachel is planning to move to a more rural area. She is also planning to buy a camper van (野营车) so that she can drive away from Wi-Fi signals whenever she is feeling uncomfortable. As she has no job and therefore no income, she has to raise money online. She is hoping to raise 15,000 pounds. So far, she has raised over 1,600 pounds. She still has a long way to go.

My last vacation was a five-day trip to Prague in the Czech Republic. I know Prague well because I studied there as a university student ten years ago.
After I went to Prague, I stayed with one of my old friends. It was so much fun and made me think of my happy old days. I wanted to do all the same things as I did in my university days, so I visited the university. It changed a lot and looked more beautiful. I also went to the supermarket near my old house. I loved seeing all the different kinds of food. I was really happy to find my favourite fruit cakes, but they were more expensive (贵的) than ten years ago!
We also did some things that most visitors would do. We climbed the beautiful Petrin Hill. The views (风景) of the city are wonderful there. We walked across the famous Charles Bridge. My friend’s house is near the TV Tower, so we can see the famous building every day.

Do you know what the world’s highest waterfall is? You may say that it is Niagara Falls. Niagara Falls is really very beautiful, but when we talk about the height, Angel Falls is the highest in the world. It is located deep in the jungle (丛林) of Venezuela (委内瑞拉).
Few people have ever seen Angel Falls. It’s very hard to get there. If you went by car, you would have to travel for weeks through the jungle. If you went by plane from Caracas, a city on the southern coast, it would take about four hours.
One of the most interesting facts about Angel Falls is how it got its name. It was named after an American pilot. His name was Jimmy Angel. In 1937, his plane crashed near the waterfall. Though local people already knew about it, his story made it famous, and it was later named after him.
Angel Falls drops nearly a kilometre from a table-top mountain. The water seems to be dropping straight out of the clouds. The height of the waterfall is so great that by the time the water reaches the ground, it has already turned into fog (雾).
If you have a chance to visit it, you’ll never forget it!
13. Few people have ever seen Angel Falls because ________.
A. it is not easy to get there B. the tickets are very expensive
C. there is no hotel or restaurant D. visitors can only get there on foot
14. If you want to get to Angel Falls in a short time, you can choose to take ________ according to the text.
A. the bus B. the car C. the plane D. the train

B. Jimmy Angel’s plane reached near the waterfall in 1937
C. a pilot from Caracas got to the waterfall
D. Angel Falls was named after American pilot Jimmy Angel

A. Where We Should Go B. Jimmy Angel
C. Niagara Falls D. The World’s Highest Waterfall
