Sharon Holland and her husband, Jer, are travelling around the world and savingmoney at the same time—by swapping houses with strangers to keep the bills low. They only have to pay for their flights, meaning they save hundreds of pounds on theirholidays each year.

The couple's occupation allows them to enjoy long periods of school holidays. Both work as school Deputy Principals, which allows them to take their children, Cian, 23, Miah, 13, and Faye, 11, abroad up to four timesper year. On average, they pay£1, 250 per year for flights.

Sharon, from Cork, Ireland, has exchanged her home with a stranger 40 times inthe last 13 years and says she's never looked back. She said: “I couldn't imaginetravelling any other way now. Swapping our Irish Georgian farmhouse for anotherhouse abroad is amazing. There are home-style houses, modern city apartments andbeautiful architectural period houses too. Every holiday is different and staying insomeone else's house makes our experience more rewarding and enjoyable. We areable to meet more locals and understand the culture more than we would if we were tostay at a hotel. We bring our laptops during the summer weeks as we are bothresponsible for timetabling and school planning but this can be done at a distance”.

Sharon has visited various cities in America, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Spain, Netherlands, the U. K and their home country of Ireland. “But our favouriteplace is Italy. We have been lucky enough to visit there six times. Over the years, everyexperience has been great—from taking in the architecture to the food. We have madesome wonderful happy memories for less”, adds she.

A simple gel (凝胶) collects water out of thin air! This innovation works well indry climates, promising drinking water to those living with water shortage.

The gel was invented by a team of scientists and engineers at the University ofTexas. Combining two simple ingredients, the gel is inexpensive to produce. Just onekilogram of gel can absorb up to six liters of water in a dry climate. For those living ina climate with relative humidity (湿度), one kilogram of gel can collect up to 13 litersof water a day.

“This new work is about practical solutions that people can use to get water inthe hottest, driest places on Earth,” said Professor Guihua Yu. “This could allowmillions of people without easy access to drinking water to have water producingequipment at home that they can easily operate.”

Countries are currently using available bodies of water to create drinking water, according to the study. These include removing salt from ocean water and using waterpurification technologies. Yet there are plenty of small water drops in theatmospherethat can be harnessed as a reliable resource.

Researchers have collected fresh water from fog and dew (露水), but that onlyserves areas with high humidity. With one third of the population living in dry placeswith very low humidity, a workable solution is of great importance. Scientists havebeen able to obtain water from desert air, but these methods have low yields (产量) anduse lots of energy. In fact, this gel is a great improvement from previous waterharvesting technologies. The maximum water harvested has been 5. 87 liters in placeswith relative humidity.

This new gel doubles this amount, uses no energy and is simple to operate and itcan be molded into a shape or size that best suits the user. Scientists are planning onmaking a thicker gel that will increase the yield, which is most important in makingthis technology a practical solution to drought (干旱). Easy-to-use and inexpensive, thehope is that this super gel will offer access to clean drinking water to dry places aroundthe world.

28. What can we infer from Professor Guihua Yu's words?

A. He is in charge of the research.    B. He is promoting this achievement worldwide.

C. He has been concerned about drinking water safety.  D. He speaks highly of the new technology.

29. What does the underlined word “harnessed” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?

A. Used.   B. Enjoyed.  C. Considered.   D. Shared.

30. What do researchers think of getting fresh water from fog?

A. It is workable.          B. It has limitations.  

C. It is of great importance.  D. It has a bright future.

31. What is the key to making this new technology workable?

A. Sufficient funds.  B. Experienced researchers.  C. Increased output.  D. Easy operation.

D

The world's first named heat wave hit Seville, Spain, pushing temperatures past 110degrees Fahrenheit and earning the most severe tier (级别) in the city’s new heat waveranking system. Heat wave “Zoe” has brought burning temperatures to the southern partof the country for the last few days, particularly the area where Seville is located.

Zoe is the first named heat wave to hit Seville since it officially used a new systemlast month to name and rank heat waves, similar to hurricanes (Climatewire, June 22). Only the most severe heat waves get names, named this year in reverse (颠倒的) alphabetical order. After Zoe come Yago, Xenia, Wenceslao and Vega. The worst of theheat is expected to begin tapering off (减弱) today, but it has already posed a significantrisk to human health.

Seville's new ranking system takes a three-tiered approach to categorizing heatwaves, with Category 1 as the lowest ranking and Category 3 as the most severe. Thesystem has specific criteria for each category, involving not only daytime temperatures, but also nighttime lows, humidity and the heat's expected effects on human health.

Spain has been struggling with extreme temperatures for much of the summeralready. High heat broke local records around the country last month, and the first twoweeks of June were the hottest on record in the country. Across the continent, this yearwas Europe's second hottest June on record. Extreme heat returned again earlier thismonth. Cities across Spain broke monthly temperature records and wildfires broke outon the landscape.

Climate change is causing heat waves to become more frequent, more severe andlonger-lasting all over the world, increasing the risks to human health. Seville's newnaming and ranking system is intended to raise public awareness about the dangers ofextreme heat.

32. What can we know about Zoe?

A. It's the most severe heat wave in the world.   B. Its power is similar to the hurricane on June 22.

C. It has had a negative influence on human health.  D. It's the first heat wave hitting Seville, Spain.

33. What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about?

A. The effect of heat waves on human health.   B. The way and standard of sorting heat waves. ism

C. The approaches to dealing with heat waves.   D. The present situation of extreme heat in Spain.

34. Why are heat waves named and ranked in Seville?

A. To distinguish their different types.  B. To raise our awareness of good health.

C. To remind us to get ready for them.   D. To help the public know about their dangers.

35. What can be the best title for the text?

A. Zoe—the World's First Named Heat Wave

B. The Most Severe Tier Heat Wave Hitting Seville

C. Climate Change—the Major Contributor to Heat Waves

D. Reasons for More and More Frequent Extreme Heat Waves

I left Denmark for the United States for a research abroad experience during myPh. D. I hadn't made any friends by that point so I decided to ask another Ph. D studentin my office whether they'd meet up outside work. He looked at me, smiled, and thenuttered“Yes.”36 I had finally conquered my shyness and dared to step out of mycomfort zone.

My university encourages Ph. D students to spend time abroad, so I planned fromthe beginning to work at a U. S. university for six months.    37But I was alsoafraid that my shy self would keep me from getting to know people, leading to a levelof sadness and loneliness that would eventually force me to abandon the adventure andgo back to Denmark.

    38Finding myself in a foreign country without my habitual life terrified me. My sister advised me to go to campus every day. So later, every weekend, I would planoutings with at least one person, whether it be going out for a meal, visiting a museum, traveling to another city, or going on a hike.     39I suddenly felt much less lonely. Even little interactions at work helped me feel part of a community. By the end of mytime in Atlanta, I felt so comfortable that I actually had mixed feelings about goinghome.

I returned to Denmark last May, feeling fulfilled by my time abroad. I was able totravel to new places, meet interesting people, and learn new professional skills. 40I encourage every young scientist to do a research stay abroad—and to have thecourage to open up to people while you're there.

A. The advice made a huge difference.

B. It was a little thing, but it was a victory.

C. The initial few months in America were difficult.

D. I had wanted to make more efforts to get to know people.

E. I built up a small group of friends—from both within and outside the office

F. I also came to appreciate the benefits of stepping outside my comfort zone.

G. I was excited to travel, improve my English, and expand my scientific network.

Xiechi Lake, also known as Yuncheng Salt Lake in China's Shanxi Province, 61(become)popular on social media websites in the past few years.

Now, China wants to transform that online62(popular) into real-lifetourism. “As the Chinese 'Dead Sea', floating here is63unforgettableexperience, and one you can't find anywhere else,” reads a tourism

advertisement64(sponsor) by the Yuncheng Salt Lake Tourism Development Company. Yuncheng Salt Lake is a sulfate(硫酸盐)lake. “If the sulfate in your water isgreater than the calcium(钙), all the calcium is used up,65leaves you with largeamounts of sulfate and you have a sulfate lake,” explains geography professor BernieOwen. Xiechi is also a “closed basin” lake,66     (mean) it doesn't flow out to ariver orocean, which explains how its salt content stays so high. It is possible for saltlakes to freeze over, although not as67(quick) as other lakes—after all, thinkabout what happens when we spread salt over icy roads. Saltwater freezes at68(low)temperatures than fresh water.

In an effort69(boost) Xiechi Lake's international profile, China isreportedly taking steps to get it recognized70a UNESCO World Heritage site.

第二节书面表达

One possible version:

In order to help protect the environment, we should start small and do our part just by changing our daily habits.

Some simple acts do make a difference. Firstly, save energy and electricity. Turn off lights, televisions, computers or printerseach time you stop using them. Also, run your dishwasher only when it is completely full.Secondly,give away your old things thatare still in good condition so that someone else can reuse them. Thirdly, you can turn useless junk into something creative and cute.For example, an old T-shirt can be cleverly turned into a shopping bag, and plastic bottles can serve as nice pots for flowers,whilethrowing them away may be a pityfor you.

Text 3

W: David, you got through to the national final as the youngest chef. What if you win?

M: Well, the first prize is an intelligent fridge. The second prize is a top-quality cooking pan. And there's a set of kitchen knives foreveryone who gets as far as the national final.

Text 4

W: This is a really interesting article, Ben. It's full of great facts.

M: Thanks. I went to the library, but I couldn't find any good textbooks. So I had a quick look on the Internet, but then my friendSimon suggested I look at some new history magazines, and that's what I used.

Text 5

M: There're lots of good things on at the music festival. I've got a ticket for a folk concert.

W: I'm going to see the rock band Buzz. Do you fancy seeing something together? There's a jazz band playing on the last day. Wecould try that.

M: Fine with me.

Text 6

W: Excuse me, sir. I think you might be sitting in my seat. My ticket says I'm supposed to be in Seat A by the window.

M: I'm sure I'm in 14A. Let's look at your boarding pass. Hmm, I see the problem. You're seated right behind me.

W: Oh, thanks, but... would you mind changing places with me? My colleague's going to be sitting in 14B, and we have somebusiness to discuss on the trip.

M: Sure, that's fine.

W: That really old house in Wales is for sale—where we had that holiday—do you remember? Look, it's completely unchanged.

M: Yes, of course. It was great for playing hide-and-seek. Mum was always complaining there was never any hot water forshowering. Dad used to make up scary stories about the people in the old paintings.

W: Yes. What I mainly remember is lying awake at night thinking about the people who had lived there before.

M: I hope the person who buys won't change it. I'd hate to see it lose its character.

W: It's bound to have a preservation order on it because it's old. It won't be turned into a hotel.

M: I expect you're right. It's awful to think of all the furniture and paintings being sold off or ending upin a museum. I hope itremains the same and wecan go there on holiday again.

M: Thanks for coming in today, Mrs. Bromley. We've been rather concerned about Billy recently and I need to discuss his behaviorwith you.

M: Does he have his own computer in his room?

W: Yes, he's always watching films on it lately.

W: Oh, no. What should I do?

M: This is a common situation with teenagers. I'm convinced that a professional advisor can sort Billy out.

W: Thank you so much. You've made me feel so much better about this.

Text 10

M: I've always been interested in making money and I always believed I'd be successful. My father was very proud that I'dbeen to university—the first in my family to do so. He hoped I'd become a banker or a lawyer, and not a fruit seller like him. Butinstead, I saw an opportunity to make money from sports shoes. From a humble start in a small shop, my business grew rapidly. Justbefore I sold the business, I had two hundred and fifty shops. I decided to take time out and enjoy myself. I spent loads of money onholidays but I didn't find this lifestyle satisfying. Then I started thinking and realized that the £700 I would spend on a suit couldmake a huge difference to someone's life. So five years ago, I started being involved in development projects that help villagecommunities in Africa. We've been able to build new schools, improve access to water and invest in farm machinery. The first ofthese projects to have been completed was a hospital in a small town. Seeing that finished and operational was the most satisfyingexperience of my life.
