If not, please follow us and explore some of the most beautiful caves from around the world!Marble CavesLocated in the center of Lake General Carrera, the Marble Caves in Chico, Chile, are only accessible by boat. The surrounding crystal clear waters allow visitors to see the rock formations beneath them while the rock ceilings above change color(depending on the writer levels and the season). The best time to visit: during sunrise and sunset, when the sun’s rays light up the cave walls, making it an experience to remember.Reed Flute CaveReed F1ute Cave known as “the Palace of Natural Arts” is located in the northwest of Guilin in southern China.The limestone cave offers a grand fairyland of stalactites(钟乳石), stone pillars, stone curtains, birds, plants and animals in fantastic shapes and colors.Fingal’s CaveThis incredible sea cave is located on the uninhabited island of Staffa in Scotland. The cave’s size, shape, and naturally—arched(拱形的) roof combine with the waves to create strange sounds that enhance its cathedral—like atmosphere.The Blue GrottoThe Blue Grotto is the symbol of Capri. It is a sea cave found on the coast of the island and is a well-known spot to all who visit the area. This cave is unique for its brilliant blue light which comes from two sources: the entrance to the cave and a bigger hole beneath the entrance. When viewed from inside the cave, the entrance appears as a brilliant white light just above the waterline, while the underwater hole, which is the larger source of light, provides a blue light.21. Why is sunset the best time to visit Marble Caves?A. Because it has enough light in it.B. Because it has the most beautiful scenery.C. Because it is surrounded by clear waters.D.

The 44-year-old left London on April 19 and arrived in Nigeria’s commercial center Lagos on Sunday after travelling more than 8,000 miles across 13 countries. He started the impressive journey to raise funds for Rotary International to deal with polio (小儿麻痹症) in his native Nigeria.Accompanied by a dozen bikers for the last stretch of the journey from the Republic of Benin, Adeyanju was welcomed by supporters in Ikeja, in central Lagos. Adeyanju, called “Lion Heart” by fans, won popularity among the public by posting daily pictures with comments about his journey on social media. At every stop along the way, he was greeted by enthusiastic (热情的) supporters.He did face some challenges, like the one in Mali where one of his wheels broke. “I was standing in the middle of the night, alone in a bush, not knowing what to do, without speaking the language,” he said, explaining he had to walk to the nearest village. “Fortunately, the locals helped me.” Not all of the challenges he faced were solved smoothly. “Mauritania, a country in northwest Africa, was ‘terrible’,” he said, after he got robbed of hundreds of euros. “The worst experience,” he added.The former Shell employee self-funded his trip with $20,400 in savings, hoping to raise up to $48 million for Rotary International. “I have been suffering from a lack of sleep lately because I slept only three to four hours per night. But I feel proud because I finished this challenge,” Adeyanju said just after he arrived, wiping the sweat off his face. Adeyanju added that he is now planning to have a possible cycling trip to Ghana or a bike ride to Israel to help raise more funds. And he has another dream: to climb Mount Qomolangma.24. Why did Adeyanju go on the 41-day trip?A. To challenge himself.B. To help people fight polio.C. To connect with more people.D. To advertise Rotary International.25. How did Adeyanju become popular during the journey?A. By using the title “Lion Heart”.B. By commenting on other bikers’ journeys.C. By sharing his experiences online.D. By showing his deep love for his hometown.26. What happened to Adeyanju in Mauritania?A. He got lost in the bush.B. He met with crime.C. He failed to understand the locals.D. He broke his motorbike.27. Which words can best describe Adeyanju?A. Caring and determined.B. Reliable and outstanding.C. Generous and brilliant.D. Ambitious and humble.CFashion designers are always looking for new materials to work with. Lately, it’s all about environment-friendly materials -- recycled tires, mushrooms, even pineapple fibers! What if you want such a pair of shoes? Thaely is here to help.This sneaker brand out of Dubai wants to fight the growing problem of plastic pollution. Led by 23-year-old Indian businessman Ashay Bhave, they may have found a winning approach: making shoes out of plastic grocery bags. “Thaely” means “plastic bag” in the Hindi language.“I was looking to create footwear that is cost-effective and safe for the environment,” Bhave said in an interview with a newspaper. “I needed to come up with something that uses recycled plastic without creating any more plastic waste. ”Plastic bags were the perfect solution. He said five trillion plastic bags are used around the world each year. “I was motivated to find a solution to this problem,” Bhave said.That solution was the fiber called ThaelyTex. Made entirely from plastic bags, the material looks and feels like leather. That sounds promising. Better yet, the production process requires no additional chemicals and produces no poisonous by-products. The result is a smart-looking pair of white low-top sneakers.Bhave wouldn’t expose the full process for making ThaelyTex, but he said that each pair of shoes was made from up to 15 plastic bags and 22 plastic bottles. Where do they get the materials? Bhave told Elle that was the hardest part. “The biggest challenge we faced was right at the first step of acquiring the plastic bags. ”Finally, they got help from TrioTap Technologies, a waste management plant. Bhave said they offered to collect the bags and also process them into ThaelyTex.So far, it seems like things are falling into place. There are already hundreds of pre-orders in place. It sounds like they have some plans for the future. “We have a few more colors coming up,” said Bhave. They also plan to put out a high-top model and bring in a line of clothing. Let’s hope their growth is also friendly to the environment.28. Why did Bhave choose to make shoes out of plastic bags?A. To set a new footwear trend.B. To test new materials for footwear.C. To reduce the use of plastic bags in his home country.D. To use recycled plastic in an environment-friendly way.29. What was the most difficult task for Bhave?A. Having a few more colors for Thaely.        B. Processing plastic bags into ThaelyTex.C. Collecting enough production materials       D. Dealing with many poisonous by-products30. The underlined part“put out”in the last paragraph probably means__________.A. produce         B. conserve          C. provide          D. broadcast31. What can be the best title for this passage?A. Bhave: a promising young manB. Thaely: killer of waste plastic bagsC. ThaelyTex: material out of garbageD. TrioTap Technologies: a waste management plant DAs you may have noticed, machine learning and artificial intelligence are two of the hottest areas in technology today. One company that seems to have been caught flat-footed in the artificial intelligence race is Apple. To successfully participate in new markets, Apple is seeking ways to combine its strategy in Siri and artificial intelligence.Apple’s voice assistant Siri significantly falls behind competing smart speakers from Amazon and Google. Take HomePod, Apple’s smart-speaker product for example, though reviews praised the device for having excellent sound quality, Siri’s poor accuracy could limit its usefulness. Besides, the high price ofthe device also made it a harder sell than it would have been. Apple charges for the HomePod $350 while the competing Echo Plus, for example, costs $150.If Apple wants to successfully participate in new markets, and keep its core iPhone and iPad products competitive well into the future, it needs to go from zero to hero in artificial intelligence. The company recently hired John Giannandrea, who previously led Google’s artificial intelligence efforts. And the company gave him more power, which seemed to suggest that Apple is really trying to rework its entire strategy in this field. Under this new specialist in artificial intelligence, some positive changes will take place in Apple’s artificial intelligence development.However, let’s be realistic. A management change isn’t going to affect Apple’s products and technologies that we have seen for some time. Developing good software is a long process, especially considering the possibility that Apple will effectively throw out the current generation of Siri and start from beginning.Nevertheless, one reason that I’m hopeful is that Apple seems to understand that it has a problem here and is making efforts to change the situation. If Apple is successful in reshaping its artificial intelligence efforts and continues to fund them appropriately, then there’s a reasonable chance that within a few years, it won’t be a laggard(落后者) in this field but a leader.32. Why is Apple’s HomePod mentioned in Paragraph 2?A. To advertise Apple’s new product.B. To speak highly of its sound quality.C. To exclude different smart-speakers.D. To show the disadvantages of Apple’s AI products.33. Apple is trying to rework its entire strategy in AI by ______.A. reshaping its leadershipB. setting up a special fundC. inventing new smart productsD. stopping using Siri in HomePod34. What can we infer from Paragraph 4?A. Apple will be greatly reconstructed.B. Apple will update its core products.C. Apple’s situation won’t get better overnight.D. Apple’s products won’t be competitive.35. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. The future of Apple’s core productsB. The decline of Apple’s voice assistant SiriC. Machine learning and artificial intelligenceD. The efforts Apple made to have a place in AI field第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Science can help you improve your study methods. For more than 100 years，psychologists have done research on which study habits work best. ____36____ . Here are 4 tips to improve your study habits.Space out your studyingNate Kornell，a psychologist at Williams College，thinks it’s a good idea to study the day before a big test. ____37____. Instead，space out those study sessions. Kornell compares our memory to water in a bucket that has a small leak. Try to refill the bucket while it's still full，and you can't add much more water. Allow time between study sessions，and some of the material may drip out of your memory. But then you’ll be able to relearn it and learn more in your next study session.Practice，practice，practice!Musicians practice their instruments. Athletes practice sports skills. ____38____. “If you want to be able to remember information，the best thing you can do is practice，” says Katherine Rawson. She’s a psychologist at Kent State University in Ohio. In one 2013 study，students took practice tests over several weeks. On the final test，they scored more than a full letter grade better，on average，than students who studied the way they normally had.Test yourselfNebel’s preferred study habit is one of the best way. Before big tests，Nebel’s mom quizzed her on the material. “Now I know that was retrieval（检索）practice，” she says. As Nebel got older，she quizzed herself. “____39____，” Nebel suggests. “Put questions on one side and the answers on the other side and try to quiz yourself the way the teacher asks questions，”she adds.Dig deeperIt's hard to remember a string of facts and figures if you don’t push further. Ask why things are a certain way. How did they come about？Why do they matter？Psychologists call this elaboration. It’s taking class material and asking a lot of how and why questions about it. This helps you combine new information with other things you know. And it creates a bigger network in your brain of things that relate to one another，she says. ____40____.A. The same should go for learningB. Some tips help for almost every subjectC. Of course，nothing can replace studying with your motherD. Some experts hold that studying late at night can be really usefulE. That larger network makes it easier to learn and remember thingsF. Create a pack of flash cards every time you learn new informationG. But research shows it's a bad idea to force all your studying into that day第三部分  语言运用（共两节，满分30分）第一节：完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。The suburb I live in backs on to a large nature reserve.

I struggled to lift my head out of the water. Inch by inch, my tired body reached the end of the pool.Earlier that month, I had handed in my first job application at a local pool. Overqualified, I was hired on the spot. However, the tasks were boring: helping confused visitors and measuring the height of children before they went down the slide（滑梯）. I was capable of more. One day the manager suggested “This looks really easy for you. Why aren’t you applying to become a lifeguard? ”“Well, lifeguarding demands more responsibility, strength and respect. Thus the position pays $ 2 more per hour. Your swimming skills are strong enough. All you need to do is to complete a certification class.”Thanks to him, his words inspired me — You never know what you are capable of until you force yourself to do it.Soon I passed the swim test. All left was to practice and learn first aid, CPR（心肺复苏）, and procedures for different land-based and water-based emergencies.My new work as a lifeguard started soon. A well-intentioned yet anxious feeling in me soon passed. Days, weeks, and months went by without incident; emergencies were rare. The skills and training I had so carefully studied and acquired seemed unnecessary and useless.Today appeared to be another uneventful and peaceful day. However, shortly after the other lifeguards signaled to the children to leave and exit the pool, I noticed one boy was still in the middle while the others had climbed up.注意：1. 所续写短文的词数应为150词左右；2. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好；Paragraph 1:“Something must have gone wrong with him,” I thought to myself. ________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2:Having the boy on the floor, I put my ear to his mouth and my fingers at his neck.
