How much should a couple with a child pay to enjoy the most of the trip?A. $188B. $241C. $313D. $401BMost of us spend our lives seeking the natural world. We go fishing, sit in the garden, have a picnic, live in the suburbs or go to the seaside. The most popular leisure activity in Britain is going for a walk. When joggers jog, they don't run the streets. Every one of them tends to go to the park or the river.But despite this, our children are growing up nature deprived. I spent my boyhood climbing trees. These days, children are robbed of these ancient freedoms, due to problems like crime, traffic, the loss of the open spaces and strange new ideas about what is best for children, that is to say, things that can be bought, rather than things that can be found.The truth is to be found elsewhere. A study in the US: families had moved to better housing and the children were assessed for ADHD—attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (多动症). Those whose accommodation had more natural views showed an improvement of 19%; those who had the same improvement in material surroundings but no nice view improved just 4%.ADHD is one of the great problems of modern childhood. One study after another indicates that contact with nature gives huge benefits to ADHD children. However, we spend money on drugs rather than on green places.The life of old people is measurably better when they have access to nature.The increasing concern for the growing population of old people is in quality rather than quantity of years. And study after study finds that a garden is the single most important thing in finding that quality. Even problems with crime and aggressive behaviour are reduced when there is contact with the natural world.We need the wild world. It is essential to our well-being, our health and our happiness.24. According to the author, people enjoy ________ to seek nature.A. jogging on the streetB. sitting in the gardenC. shopping in the supermarketD. running in the gym25. From the second paragraph, we can see that .A. adults deprive the children of their rights to approach natureB. climbing trees will certainly do good to the childrenC. children probably spend less time in nature nowadaysD. children tend to be happier as a result of their material satisfaction26. In what way do people benefit from their contact with nature?A. Children with ADHD can be cured.B. A garden nearby improves the quality of old people's life.C. Problems with crime and violent behavior will easily be solved.D. Children's performance at school is greatly improved.27. What is the main idea of this passage?A. Access to nature improves our life.B. Nature treats children with ADHD.C. Getting close to nature reduces crime.D. Man can't live without natural areas.CFrom self-driving cars to carebots for elderly people, rapid development in technology has long represented a possible threat to many jobs normally performed by people. But experts now believe that almost 50 percent of occupations existing today will be completely unnecessary by 2025 as artificial intelligence continues to change businesses.“The next fifteen years will see a revolution in how we work, and a revolution will necessarily take place in how we plan and think about workplaces, ”said Peter Andrew, Director of Workplace Strategy for CBRE Asia PACIFIC.A growing number of jobs in the future will require creative intelligence, social skills and the ability to use artificial intelligence.The report is based on interviews with 200 experts, business leaders and young people from Asia Pacific, Europe and North America. It shows that in the US technology already destroys more jobs than it creates.But the report states, “Losing occupations does not necessarily mean losing jobs –just changing what people do.”Growth in new jobs could occur as much,according to the research.“The growth of 20 to 40 companies that have the speed and technological know-how will directly challenge big companies,”it states.A 2014 report by Pew Research found 52 percent of experts in artificial intelligence and robotics were optimistic about the future and believed there would still be enough jobs in the next few years. The optimists pictured “a future in which robots do not take the place of more jobs than they create,”according to Aaron Smith, the report’s co-author.“Technology will continue to affect jobs but more jobs seem likely to be created. Although there have always been unemployed people, when we reached a few billion people there billions of jobs. There is no shortage of things that need to be done and that will not change,”Microsoft’s Jonathan Grudin told researchers.28. We can infer from the text that in the future______.A. people will face many difficultiesB. peoplewill take up more creative jobsC. artificial intelligence will threaten people’s livesD. most jobs will be done in traditional workplaces29. According to the article, ________A. people won’t necessarily lose jobsB. big companies will face fewer challengesC. small companies will win against big companiesD. most people will become interested in technology30. What is the attitude of most experts in artificial intelligence and robotics to the future?A. Mixed.B. Worried.C. Hopeful.D. Doubtful.31. Jonathan Grudin’s words in the last paragraph suggest that _______.A. there will be enough jobs for peopleB. things will change a lot in a few yearsC. many people will become unemployedD. technology will totally change future jobsDFeeling tired? Under too much stress? Well, you may want to try Yoga(瑜珈). It’s what more and more people have been turning to to release the trouble of modern life. Practically unheard of in the West until 50 years ago, Yoga has become one of the most popular health trends around the world, including China. If you search for Yoga on line in Chinese, lots of pages are there to see, most of which are main pages of Yoga clubs. In order to keep fit and lose weight, many girls spend more than 1000 yuan taking part in Yoga classes every month.However, are you really ready for it? There are several things you need to know before you really take it.First, do not force your body too much. Yoga has many difficult poses. They are beautiful and worth boasting if you could finish them. But if you force yourself to do as exactly as an experienced Yoga teacher does, you may hurt your body, instead of strengthening it. Do you remember you original purpose for playing Yoga? It is self -building, not competing.Second, do some research about the Yoga class that you are to register. Yoga isnew in China and there are not so many certificated well-trained Yoga teachers. Some not well organized clubs just find someone learn a little Yoga and certificate them. But be aware, a non-eligible teacher might wrongly guide you and you could not benefit from the classes much except that they force you to exercise your body a bit. Considering about the large amount of money you invest in it, it’s worth and reasonable to make sure the teachers in the club are qualified before you join.Third, it would be better to learn something about nutrition when you practice Yoga. In the very beginning, Yoga was part of the Vedas, bible of the traditional Indian philosophy. So it could be regarded as a kind of lifestyle. When you have decided to care for your body, why not feed it properly? In fact, good clubs have their own nutritionists.Anyhow, make sure you are ready before you act. The fashion may change quickly. But what benefits is still good for us.32. The author’s main purpose in writing the passage is to .A. tell people how to relax themselvesB. let people know more about YogaC. give people some advice on taking part in Yoga classesD. tell peoples Yoga has gained its popularity in China33. The underlined word “eligible”in the fourth paragraph most probably means .A. experiencedB. qualifiedC. honoredD. hi-technical34. Which of the following is NOT the author’s advice?A. Join one of the noblest Yoga clubs.B. Don’t easily follow the fashion about Yoga.C. Know some knowledge about nutrition.D. Find out a real teacher.35. From the advice offered by the author, we can conclude that .A. Yoga has nothing to do with cultureB. Yoga is somehow easy to exerciseC. many people learn Yoga in order to competeD. not all the Yoga clubs have standard teachers第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
