and cool winds every day.Life is a little different compared to the "mainland".Hawaiian people like to be outside,whether it's on the beach,sitting outside at a cafe,or walking in the mountains and forests.There are a number of islands that make up the state of Hawaii,which is the youngest of all the United States.Each island has a different environment.Maui.located in the middle of the islands,is very popular with tourists and families.I was there for three days and had a great time during the day.But at nighttime,it was a little too quiet for me.Then we went to the island of Hawaii,better known as the "Big Island".That place is famous for its volcanoes!There are a couple things about Hawaii that I don't like.One is the cost:it's expensive to fly there,and hotels are usually very pricey.The other is the fact that vegetables are not as common.I guess it's harder to grow them there,and they're not really much part of the diet. 17.Where is the speaker?

Wilhelmina Bay was extremely large in size.But after we got into our kayaks ()we realised what made this part of Antarctica special at least on the day of our visit. Kayak cruises are like adventures.If there's a good wildlife sighting around,the driver radios the other boats and tells them to come and see it.Throughout Antarctica you would see the kayaks gather in the same place to watch a whale,or a group of seals,or some cartoon-like Adelie penguins But in Wilhelmina Bay,it seemed like every kayak had its own group of whales to watch.They were everywhere!We had plenty of them getting close to us.Then one got a little too close.All of a sudden,it rose in front of our kayaks.This wasn't the"logging"where they gently rise and fall-this whale knew exactly what he was doing. We were shocked.It was so close.Was it going to fall on us?It happened so quickly that I didn't get a chance to take a photo.Thankfully there were some kayaks on the other side,getting shots of what we later called the moment the drysuits became not so dry". "I'm always surprised at what we see,but I'm not often impressed,"our kayaking guide Michael told us."The only thing better than that would have been,like,if a killer whale jumped out of the water right over the kayaks." 21.What makes the visit in Wilhelmina Bay special? A.The large size of the Bay. B.The thrilling whale-watching

"It began with my desire to work with waste,says Lucy Hughes,a recent graduate from University of Sussex.who once visited a fish processing factory to see the massive quantity of waste generated by the industry and find new ways to use it.She focused on fish skins and scales ()."When I had it in my hands,I realised this has got potential,"she says.It's super strong and flexible.Hughes spent months experimenting with fish waste in her kitchen,running more than 100 experiments to find a binder and a process that could hold together the proteins in the fish skins and scales."I had a lot of failed attempts-a lot of things either were too easily broken or too soft or easily went bad,"she says.She finally landed on a type of algae that can be locally got. The material can be used to replace oil-based plastic in packaging such as bags or the half transparent windows used to show products in boxes.As her research continues.Hughes says that she'll be studying how Marina Tex works and how long it could be used to store food. Unlike some"compostable"plastic which needs to be processed in an industrial composting facility to break down,the new material can break down in four to six weeks in a backyard compost bin."All the ingredients are food-grade safe,"Hughes says."So,this breaks down much like a piece of food would break down." 24.Why did Hughes develop Marina Tex? A.She wanted to look for a new plastic B.She would like fish to eat it safely.

D.Fish skins 答案B 解析词义猜测题。根据第二段中的“She focused on fish skins and scales.When I had it in my hands,I realised this has got potential,'she says.It's super strong and flexible.Hughes spent months experimenting with fish waste in her kitchen..”推测，画线的it指代鱼的废料。故选B 项。 26.What is the main advantage of Marina Tex compared with conventional plastic? A.It is stronger and more flexible B.It can be used as plastic bags.

On Thursday in an article published in Cell,a team of researchers reported a new kind of adaptation—not to air or to food,but to the ocean.A group of sea-dwelling people in Southeast Asia have evolved into better divers.The Bajau,as these people are known,number in the hundreds of thousands in Indonesia,Malaysia and the Philippines.They have traditionally lived on houseboats;in recent times,they’ve also built houses on stilts(支柱) in coastal waters.“They are simply a stranger to the land,”said Rodney C.Jubilado,a University of Hawaii researcher who studies the Bajau. Dr. Jubilado first met the Bajau while growing up on Samal Island in the Philippines.They made a living as divers,spearfishing or harvesting shellfish.“We were so amazed that they could stay underwater much longer than us local islanders,”Dr. Jubilado said.“I could see them actually walking under the sea.” In 2015,Melissa Ilardo,then a graduate student in genetics at the University of Copenhagen,heard about the Bajau.She wondered if centuries of diving could have led to the evolution of physical characteristics that made the task easier for them.“It seemed like the perfect chance for natural selection to act on a population,”said Dr. Ilardo.She also said there were likely a number of other genes that help the Bajau dive

D.They lived on both land and water. 答案C 解析细节理解题。根据第三段中的“We were so amazed that they could stay underwater much longer than us local islanders'”可知，令Jubilado感到惊讶的是，巴天人在水下停留的时间居然比 当地岛民要长得多。故选C项。 31.What can be a suitable title for the text? A.Bodies Remodeled for a Life at Sea B.Highlanders'Survival Skills C.Basic Methods of Genetic Research D.The World's Best Divers 答案A 解析标题归纳题。文章主要讲述了居住在海上的巴天人由于生活环境特殊而进化，故A项 “为（适应）海上生活而重新塑造的躯体”适合做标题。 0 Almost everyone has heard the expression,"the calm before the storm".It is usually used to describe a peaceful period just before a very stressful situation or a tense argument. British sailors coined the phrase in the late 1600s.They noted that before certain storms the seas would seem to become static()and the winds would drop.But why is it often so calm before a storm？ A calm period occurs because many storms tornadoes and hurricanes draw in all the warm and wet air from the surrounding area.As the air rises into the storm clouds,it cools and acts as "fuel for the storm,like petrol in a car".Once the storm has taken all the energy it can from the air,it is pushed out from the top of the storm clouds and falls back down to ground level.As the air goes down,it becomes warm and dry.Warm and dry air is stable,so once it covers an area,it causes a calm period before the storm. This same process also causes the"eye of the storm"in hurricanes and tornadoes.In these conditions,the calm occurs in the centre of the storm because of the strong circling winds. The Weather Network has a tip for working out how far away a storm is.First count how many seconds there are between a flash of lightning and a clap of thunder,roughly three seconds equal one kilometre.So,for example,if you count nine seconds,the storm is about three kilometres away.A good judge is that if your count is below 30 seconds,you should seek shelter straight away However,due to the complexity of storm system,not all storms are proceeded (by calm.Given the right conditions,some storms announce themselves with heavy rain and icy

British sailors coined the phrase in the late 1600s.They noted that before certain storms the seas would seem to become static(平静的) and the winds would drop.But why is it often so calm before a storm? A calm period occurs because many storms,tornadoes and hurricanes draw in all the warm and wet air from the surrounding area.As the air rises into the storm clouds,it cools and acts as “fuel for the storm,like petrol in a car”.Once the storm has taken all the energy it can from the air,it is pushed out from the top of the storm clouds and falls back down to ground level.As the air goes down,it becomes warm and dry.Warm and dry air is stable,so once it covers an area,it causes a calm period before the storm.
