Speaking to CNN,Turcich explained that,after a friend died in an accident at age 17 he started to look at life differently,and decided to go on a journey around the world.It took over eight years of saving and planning before Turcich finally left his home on April 2,2015—just before his 26th birthday—on his way to Panama.He had a stroller to carry his hiking equipment,a sleeping bag,a laptop,a camera and a box of food.

He and Savannah started walking again in May 2018,going through Europe,North Africa and Türkiye before getting stuck in Azerbaijan for six months because of the pandemic.They were able to travel to Kyrgyzstan before taking a plane to Seattle.From there,he and Savannah walked back to New Jersey.

B The popular documentary series Aerial China(《航拍中国》) recently returned to the small screen.The latest and fourth season of it gives a perspective that is both excellent and informative.As the final of the series,the new season was shot across 11 provincial-level regions and started in the spring of 2020. “The experience from the previous three seasons makes us more capable to follow wild animals while avoiding disturbing them,” says Yu,chief director of the series.China has made great efforts to protect endangered wildlife species and their habitats in recent years,and it has become much easier to spot rare species in the wild.Taking Tibetan antelopes as an example,the plateau-based creatures were difficult to encounter in the past,but the expansion of their population and enhanced research on their living patterns have allowed the camera crew to tailor plans to follow the animals. “Most close-ups for the season were shot by photographers from helicopters or cameras installed on drones (无人机).The vital moment for a successful shot depends on the mood of the animals or how good the weather is,” Yu says.In an attempt to fully show China’s huge changes over the past decade,the documentary series consulted experts from different fields to help select the most attractive shooting sites.In the final season,Aerial China has used 73 helicopters and 320 drones to shoot footage over an area of 900,000 kilometers,and selected around 1,000 staffers.More than 30 teams were assigned to shoot in different cities for the fourth season. The previous three seasons have been watched by 850 million TV viewers and seen online over 140 million times.For fans of the series,the director says he hopes that the new season will draw a bigger audience with its unusual perspective to show them China like never seen before. 5.Which can best replace the underlined word “perspective” in the first paragraph? A.Reference. B.Viewpoint. C.Mention. D.Standard. 6.Why are Tibetan antelopes mentioned? A.To indicate a successful encounter. B.To introduce new living patterns. C.To show a biological improvement. D.To save endangered wildlife species. 7.What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A.The team members’ roles. B.The splendid shooting sites. C.The hi-tech devices for shooting. D.The efforts spent in the season. 8.What does the last paragraph want to tell us? A.This is the last but one season. B.This season is well worth viewing. C.The series is popular with TV reviewers. D.The series is intended for Chinese fans. Ⅴ.七选五 It’s certainly human nature to worry.Especially today,when many of us seem to have problems about money,family,career or health concerns,worry may seem unavoidable.　1　 What can we do to stop worrying too much?  Some people find meditation a very helpful and relaxing way to stop worrying too much.But you don’t necessarily need formal meditation techniques.By combining any reflective and calming techniques that work for you,you may find that you stop worrying soon.　2　  Even if you set aside a certain amount of time to really think about what’s worrying you,you may find that new ideas will come to you later when you least expect them.　3　 It can help you stop worrying if you know you’ll probably be able to come up with ideas and options if you just give yourself time to think.  Sometimes,letting ourselves think of the worst thing that could happen can actually reduce our worries.　4　 Even if it does seem bad,facing the possibility of it head-on(积极地) may even allow us to form a plan to prevent this worst-case scenario(设想) from happening.  　5　 For example,talking to friends or a helping professional may be a good option if the worrying just won’t seem to go away and you’ve tried everything you can think of to stop worrying.Keeping a daily journal and writing down worries regularly may also help.  A.Many creative people experience this process. B.Actually,the result would really not be that bad. C.When things are out of your control,make peace with them. D.There are also many other easy ways to help you stop worrying. E.We all worry about different things at different points in our lives. F.However,too much worry can make our stress level and health even worse. G.Meanwhile,you will feel relaxed and think your problems over more creatively.
