A

On September 15, El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras celebrate their own independence days. On October 16, Mexico follows suit. Each country above has its own nature, but what combines them is local traditions and Spanish culture. Here are four destinations worthy of planning a trip.

Tazumal, El Salvador

El Salvador is home to some rather impressive Mayan ruins that show off this once great civilization. Tazumal is one such place, which is believed to be more than 7,000 years old and was left abandoned sometime around the 13th century. However, large areas were extensively restored in the 40s’ and 50s’, giving visitors a taste of the past.

Antigua, Guatemala

The 16th-century city of Antigua is surrounded by volcanoes, churches, and Baroque buildings, combining European style with pre-Hispanic traditions, making its way to the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites. It’s possible to visit most of its attractions on foot, including the Arco de Santa Catalina, the Central Park, and the Palacio del Ayuntamiento.

Comayagua, Honduras

Honduras may be well-known for its beaches, and one worthy of your travels is the city that was once the capital: Comayagua. Founded in the early 1500s, a visit here is like traveling back in time. Several museums showcase the cultural richness and the must-see clock in the central square, which is the oldest clock in the continent, dating back to the 12th century.

Veracruz, Mexico

Veracruz is a natural beauty with beaches that stretch for as far as the eye can see, deep blue waves and powerful waterfalls. When visiting Veracruz, stop by the Zocalo in Downtown Veracruz, where locals gather to listen to “son jarocho”, a regional folk music style that started right here. Couples also gather to dance in the square. But not just any dance, rather they take part in Danzόn, a traditional couples dance iconic (标志性的) to this particular state.

1. Which place has the potential to be a UNESCO World Heritage Site?

A. Tazumal. B. Antigua. C. Comayagua. D. Veracruz.

2. What can visitors do in Veracruz?

A. Learn to sing folk music. B. Watch unique dances.

C. Go in for water sports. D. Walk on man-made beaches.

3. What do the listed places have in common?

A. They share the same traditional culture. B. They have beautiful long beaches.

C. They are home to famous ancient ruins. D. They celebrate independence days the same day.

B

Walters had always had a fascination with skiing, even though he was born in Kuwait, a place “as snow less as you can get”. He and his wife moved to a Scottish island 25 years ago and bought a run-down hotel, which they run as a self-catered (不包餐的) holiday house. Handing over the keys to guests on a Friday, Walters said, “We’re retired, and it gives me more time to do the things I want to do”.

It’s why Walters thought he might enjoy teaching people to ski. He had, after all, enjoyed the bread-making classes he used to run. “I like teaching people things,” he says.

Walters first skied at 11 on a school trip to Austria. “We were allowed to go up the mountain on the second day and I remember, with a friend, being so scared of skiing down that we actually walked down,” he says. Yet it didn’t put him off. Their teacher started organizing Sunday trips to Glenshee, the skiing area in the Highlands, and Walters became part of the school’s ski team.

Once he had taken the week-long instructor course in the Cairngorms — followed by further training — he wasn’t sure there would be an easy route into work. Then he spotted a request on Face book from a company that teaches children to ski, for someone to replace one of their instructors who had injured herself. Three days later, Walters arrived in Switzerland. “I was thinking: ‘This is going to be awful, because I’ll be this old guy,’” he says. But he wasn’t even the oldest instructor — there was one in his early 7 as. It went so well that, by the second day, his group of 11 and 12-year-olds were skiing down easy runs.

He now regularly works with the company, teaching groups of children during their school holidays. Walters spends most of his time dealing with beginners skiing fairly slowly. He isn’t trying to teach them to go as fast as possible — he’s trying to teach them how to ski with control, reduce speed, and get down the mountain without killing themselves.” He has just taken a further qualification as a ski instructor, reaching a level that enabled him to teach almost anywhere.

4. What made it possible for Walters to teach people to ski?

A. The self - catered holiday hotel. B. The sufficient time after retirement.

C. His childhood skiing experience in Kuwait. D. The profits made from running a holiday house.

5. What does the underlined phrase “put him off” in paragraph 3 probably mean?

A. Delay him. B. Make him lose interest. C. Cause him harm. D. Appeal to him.

6. What was Walters concerned about when he applied for his ski instructor’s job?

A. He was too old for the job. B. He would work for a short time.

C. He lacked necessary trainings. D. He was less experienced.

7. What can we learn about Walters from the last paragraph?

A. He is a lazy ski instructor. B. He will apply for a better job.

C. He is patient with beginners. D. He works as a full-time ski instructor.

C

Isn’t it strange that in most places the only humans you are leg ally allowed to hit are children? As of March 21, all forms of physical punishment against children, such as slacking, hitting, slapping and shaking is illegal in walks. The law change is hailed as “historic” by the Welsh government and a number of child protection champions, who call for England to follow suit. The law will apply to everybody in walks, including visitors.

“Today is a historic moment for children and their rights in walks as we make physically punishing children a thing of the past,” said Julie organ, the deputy minister for social services, who has campaigned for the law change for more than two decades.

According to Welsh Government surveys, parents of young children in walks have shown a significant shift in attitude over the past decade. For example, in 2019, 70 % of parents and guardians of young children in walks disagreed that it is sometimes necessary to shack a child, compared with 39 % in a similar survey in 2018.

“In walks, as in more than 60 countries around the world, we will no longer tolerate physical violence against children,” said via Laing, the policy and public affairs manager at NSPCC Cymru walks. “Until now, children were the only group in our society who it was acceptable to strike in certain circumstanced. We don't allow the physical punishment of adults or animals, so it is absurd that we have for so long with children.”

Anyone who physically punishes a child risks being arrested or charged with assault and may get a criminal record. However, the government says the police and Crown Prose cut ion Service will apply two tests before implementing (实施) the law change: is there evidence to charge and is it in the public interest to do so. They will also consider what is in the best interests of the child.

8. What is the direct result of the law change?

A. Visitors’ rights will be valued in walks.

B. Parents needn’t accompany their children.

C. Physical punishment on children will not be allowed.

D. The government will be responsible for children’s safety.

9. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?

A. Parents insist on never punishing children.

B. More parents are against punishing children.

C. Parents’ attitude changes slightly in punishing children.

D. Some parents are still punishing children in daily life.

10. What is via Laing’s attitude towards the law change?

A. Doubtful. B. Favorable. C. Unclear. D. Negative.

11. What does the government say about the implementation of the law change?

A. It’s easy to handle. B. It will meet strong opposition.

C. It needs more research. D. It’s fully acceptable.

D

While environmental assessments of new roads focus on the danger of habitat destruction, or bats colliding (碰撞) with traffic, the first ever controlled field experiment to investigate the impact of vehicle noise suggests the thunder of road traffic is likely to drive away bats and cause bat activity to decrease by two-thirds.

Researchers played noise recorded from the A38 dual carriage way in demon, with a “dusk average” of 26 vehicle passing per minute, in locations where different bat species flew and fed. The wild bats, including pipistrelle species, were monitored with bat detectors (探测器) placed beside, and 20 metres away, from the recorded noise.

Ultrasonic (超音速) sounds from vehicle were found to block some bat species' high-frequency echo - location calls, which they use to find insect prey (捕获物) such as moths. But more significant was that most bat species sought to avoid audible (听得见的) traffic noise.

“Just like us, bats are likely to find audible road noise an irritation, something they would prefer to avoid rather than it jamming their echo-location,” said Fiona Matt hews, lead author of the paper in Environmental Pollution.

Matthews said the effect of ordinary traffic noise on bats meant that the negative impact of new roads on bat populations was likely to be more far-reaching than realized.

She said: “This is important, as it means we could expect to see negative effects continue at a considerable distance from the road. We know that lower frequency road noise travels well beyond 50 metres — the scale at which ecological impact assessments are conducted.”

Dr. Henry Schofield, from Vincent Wildlife Trust, which jointly funded the research, said: “We have raised people’s awareness that bat species face barriers in the landscape that impede (妨碍) their ability to access suitable feeding areas and reduce their chances of survival. Along with habitat destruction and artificial lighting at night, this research has added road noise to the list of anthropogenic (人为的) factors reducing habitat quality for these protected species.”

12. What does the new research find about vehicle noise?

A. It destroys bats’ habitat. B. It influences bats’ ability to feed.

C. It helps bats to find insect prey. D. It causes bats to collide with traffic.

13 What does paragraph 2 focus on?

A. The design of the research. B. The varieties of wild bats.

C. The function of bat detectors. D. The traffic flow on highways.

14. What can we learn from Matthews's words about the impact of new roads on bats?

A. It is well-informed. B. It could be preventable.

C. It could be more serious. D. It is predictable.

15. Which aspect of the research does Dr. Schofield talk about?

A. Its application. B. Its dimension. C. Its limitation. D. Its significance.

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。

It was a pleasant sort of a Sunday as John walked in his uncle’s garden. His parents had moved to Delhi for work. “Your final examination is just a few months away.” Father had said, “We want you to stay with Uncle and Aunt, complete your exams and then join us in Delhi.” Uncle Tim was John’s father’s cousin. They had a Golden Retrieve called Oliver.

From the first day John realized that Oliver was unhappy. He was not given his meals on time, nor was he taken for a walk. Oliver was shouted at and treated badly all day. “Your uncle bought Oliver so that the dog could protect his house from thieves but actually neither he nor his wife loved him,” the gardener told John one day. John felt sad. At night he could hear Oliver whimpering (呜咽) in the cold. “Why don’t you make a coat for your pet?” John asked. “I have much better things to do,” answered his aunt.

One day John went out for a walk with Oliver when the sky suddenly became cloudy. As rain started falling, people ran everywhere for protection. John ran to take shelter in a sweet shop. A few minutes later, he realized Oliver was missing. John was sad and searched the entire place with the help of the shop owner, but failed.

John’s uncle put in an advertisement in the paper. After all he had spent a lot of money buying Oliver and did not want to lose him.

It was a half-an-hour ride by bus. The house was a beautiful brick colored structure. The middle aged lady who greeted Oliver was a motherly sort of a woman. She and her husband had answered John’s uncle’s advertisement in the paper. Since John’s uncle was out on an official tour, John had been sent to check on the dog.

“He is asleep.” said the lady, “Come and have a look”. Oliver slept on a small bed covered with a warm quilt (被褥). A pot of milk stood in a corner of the room possibly for Oliver’s next feed. “I found him on the back seat of the car. He must have hidden himself there from the storm. I had opened the back door of the car to put in the vegetables, which I was going to buy. However, because of the heavy rain I changed my mind and decided to do the shopping the next day. The poor dear was shivering (颤抖) with cold, when I first noticed him after arriving home.” The lady told John.

注意:

1.续写词数应为150左右;

2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答.

John looked at the dog. Yes it was Oliver, his uncle’s dog.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

John smiled as he shook his head, “I am sorry to have troubled you. Sir, Madam. But this is not our Oliver.”
