For our official holidays, like the National Holiday, many people'd like to go on a visit to some places of interest. Yesterday our class had a heated discussion about whether we should travel during holidays.One man's meat is another man's poison.
Some students are for it. They think visitors can enjoy a good variety of scenery. Facing glorious(壮丽的 touristattractions, travelers may well broaden their eyes. At the same time, they can keep fit by walking on foot, and taste different delicious food that they can't get in their own hometowns. What's more, travelling can make a contribution to our economy development, mainly to the local economy development. Most travelers need to buy tickets to go to their destinations, thus traffic department will earn money. Travelers also need to sleep and eat, thus local hotels and restaurants also share benefits. Paying admission(门票费 benefits local governments. As for native farmers, they can benefit from selling local specialities to many travelers. In this case, money circulation(币流通 is speeded up.
On the other hand, other students are against it. They believe it's a waste of money. Some famous places of interest are too crowded, while those smaller ones are not worth visiting. Travelling may cause traffic jams here and there. What's worse, due to travelling here and there, there exist some accidents on the road. Besides, it's known that travelling can also pollute the local environment. In order to reduce air and waste pollution, people should have a rest to the full, reading books or watching TV at home. Recently, many have been afraid of being infected with COVID-19 in particular.
As far as I am concerned, travelling is a good choice to spend holidays. And the government should take some measures to solve the existing problems. More policemen should be on duty to deal with accidents in time. Can we make a small change to the period when people don't have to go to work in some provinces? Let's take the
example of the National Holiday, if some provinces of our country spend this holiday mainly in late September, with the National Day coming to an end, rather than in earlyOctober, most famous places of interest will not become crowded. At the same time, visitors must obey traffic rules and shouldn't throw rubbish freely here and there. Last but not least, never should we travel when there is a pandemic(大流行病,瘟疫. It's our duty to prevent its spread.
4. What does the underlined sentence “One man's meat is another man's poison” in this passage mean? A. Some persons like meat, while others don't. B. Different persons taste meals differently. C. A man mistakes meat for poison.
D. Different persons have different opinions on one thing. 5. How do travelers contribute to our economy development? A. They buy all kinds of tickets.
B. They walk, sleep, eat and meet native farmers.
C. They speed up money circulation by spending money on transport, accommodations(膳宿, specialities and admission.
D. They only enjoy visiting many glorious tourist attractions. 6. Which sentence of the following is not true? A. There's a need for more policemen.
B Some provinces can change the date of an official holiday completely. C. Visitors must obey traffic rules and shouldn't throw rubbish freely. D. People should never travel when there is a pandemic. 7. What the author's attitude to travel during holidays?
A. He doesn't show his opinion. B. He doesn't agree at all.
C. He supports unconditionally. D. He supports and makes some suggestions.
C
This is Scientific America's 60-Second Science. I am Christopher Intagliata.
The Apollo missions brought back 842 pounds of rock and soil from the moon, that's nearly 2200 different samples. But the most interesting one, according to a scientist Meenakshi Wadhwa, is a sample named "Apollo 1-0-0-8-5collected by Neil Armstrong on Apollo 11.
“He was about to step back into the lunar module(登月舱 when he turned around and saw there were little
spaces in the rock box. He knew that geologists on earth would be just so excited to study these materials, so he just scooped up nine scoops( of soil and put it into the box." Wadhwa explained.
It was one of the most well studied samples of the Apollo missions. And a geologist named John Wood noticed white flecks(微粒 of rock in the soil, which inspired him to dig deeper into the moon's ancient past.
“This was quite a leap of imagination — he proposed that the whole of the moon had been almost covered with a magma(岩浆 ocean nearly 4.5 billion years ago. This was a revolutionary idea at the time, because people had thought the moon had formed cold, so it completely changed our idea how the moon formed.”
But Wadhwa has a more personal reason to appreciate this sample. She met her husband Scott Parazynski also because of this rock sample. Scott, a mountaineer at that time, wanted to climbMount Everestwith a moon rock while Wadhwa was the chairman of the NASA committee that gives access to the samples for scientific purposes.
Neil Armstrong's last-minute scoop of moon dust brought two people together here on Earth and upturned our understanding of how the moon — and the Earth itself-got here.
Thank you for listening for Scientific American's 60-Second Science. 8. It can be learned from Paragraph 3 that ________ . A. Neil Armstrong was excited to find the soil B. the spaceship was about to land on the moon
C. Sample "Apollo1-008-5" was collected at the last minute
D. scientists were not satisfied with the samples brought back by Neil 9. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the text? A. Scott made a new proposal about the moon's origin. B. The Apollo missions brought back 842 rock samples.
C. "Apollo 1-0-0-8-5" brought new evidence to the moon's formation. D. Wadhwa and her husband climbedMount Everestwith a moon rock. 10. What is this text?
A. A short interview. B. An introduction to a scientist. C. An inspiring speech. D. A broadcast story of a program. 11. What is the text mainly about? A. A romantic story of a moon rock. B. A big leap made by Neil Armstrong.

C. An unusual task for Apollo missions.
D. An unexpected discovery in moon exploration.

Many of us in China enjoy adding chilies (辣椒 toour food, but did you know that this spicy vegetable could also be dangerous? A 34-year-oldUSman recently ended up in hospital after eating a Carolina Reaper—the spiciest chili in the world. After taking just a single bite of one, the man suffered from serious headaches in the following few days, reported BBC News.
In fact, reports of stomachache and headache caused by eating spicy food are not something unusual. But if chilies are harmful, why is it that human beings are the only animals to eat this vegetable? According to the website Huanqiu, about 600 million Chinese people—almost half of the national population—are chili eaters. So what makes people love chilies so much? The human body reacts to the burning feeling that comes from eating chilies by releasing natural chemicals that “produce a sense of happiness” , noted BBC News.
And the benefits go even further than just personal enjoyment. A survey conducted by the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences found that the death rate of those who eat spicy food once or twice a week is 10 percent lower than those who eat it less than once a week. The number decreased to 14 percent for those who eat spicy food six to seven times a week. And another study done by theUniversityofVermontcame to a similar conclusion. “The data encourages people to eat more spicy food to improve health and reduce death risk at an early age,” Liu Qi, a nutritionist at the Harvard TH Chan School of Public Health, told BBC News.
Chilies have anti-cancer quality and the ability to increase our metabolism (新陈代谢. So, don't worry if you love spicy food. It seems that chilies are actually good for us—except for the Carolina Reaper, perhaps. 12. The example of a 34-year-old American is mentioned in Paragraph 1 to prove ________. A. chiliescan be beneficial B. chilies are popular inAmerica C. chilies can be dangerous D. serious headaches can be dangerous 13. Eating chilies gives people a sense of happiness by_______. A. decreasing death rate B. releasing natural chemicals C. curing serious headaches D. providing enough nutrition 14. Which of the following statement is TRUE? A. Human are the only animals to eat chilies.
B. Stomachache and headaches caused by chilies is something unusual. C. The more chilies you eat, the healthier you are.

D. Chilies have anti-cancer quality but it can't increase our metabolism. 15. The writer wrote the passage to ________.
A. warn people of the dangers of chilies B. ask people to eat Carolina Reaper C. encourage people to eat more chilies D. tell people the benefits of chilies 第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)
