21、 Many people travel to enjoy and enrich themselves. As poet Jalaluddin said,“Travel brings power and love back to your life.”However, their travel methods may be different every year. Lonely planet listed three top trends of 2019. Let’s take a look.
Solo travel
Traditionally, travel seems to be a group activity to have fun together and avoid loneliness. But that changed in 2019. Traveling on your own means that you are the boss of everything, choosing wherever you want to go. For some people, it also shows a better, more confident person, ready to solve anything. Traveling alone in a totally foreign land can be challenging. “It opens up your mind to new things and pushes you out of your comfort zone,” Said Kristina, a traveler from the US.
Augmented(增广的) attractions
World travel can be expensive. But virtual reality and augmented reality, or VR and AR, are giving more possibilities to “travel” for little cost. With ever-improving headsets, smart-phones and Wi-Fi connections, technologies have changed the way we travel, bringing the 360-degree experience of museums, theme parks and historical sites to our homes.
In 2019, NASA provided a VR experience of Mars, allowing people to “walk” its surface with just a headset. Paris’ famous museums, meanwhile, provided more applications with AR technology. This gives visitors more context and information about exhibits. With that, visitors can view a sea cow growing flesh before their eyes. These trends will help you beat the crowds and experience new kinds of travel.
Getting off the beaten path
In order to avoid the crowds, many liked to visit less famous places after searching online or following local agencies in 2019. With less transportation and fewer things to do, hitting upon small towns lets people slow down and notice the little things. Take a walk, ride a bike, drink coffee, take a deep breath and explore.
【1】The author’s main purpose of writing this passage is .
A.to introduce the travel trends of 2019 B.to encourage more people to travel
C.to recommend travel hot spots D.to explain what makes a good trip
【2】Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage?
A.Solo travelers are free to make their own decisions.
B.Travelling alone benefits people a lot.
C.NASA provided a real experience to Mars for people.
D.VR and AR make it cheaper for people to “travel”.
【3】What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A.Famous places are still popular with many travelers.
B.Many people begin to explore new ways of travelling.
C.Many people like to search for places online.
D.Less transportation of small towns causes inconvenience.
22、As I walk along the sidewalk, I never think I will take part in such a relay(接力)race . A car turns up. I look up and notice the elderly couple in the car heading toward me. As the car rolls past, the driver suddenly collapses(倒下)against the wheel . He passes out, right in front of my eyes. His wife, a pale woman in her mid-eighties, is staring out the passenger side window then.
I begin to run alongside the moving car, “Roll down(摇下)the window!” I shout wildly to her. Confused, she complies. With the window down, I am able to hold the doorframe. I pull hard against the force of the moving car. Only then does the lady realize what is happening. On the far side of the car, the traffic goes by in the opposite direction, one after another. Nobody even seems to notice. The whole scene is so unlikely. So impossible.
Just then, a woman appears from behind me. She runs alongside the driver side door. She opens the door and, as the car is slowing, she manages to change it out of “Drive” . The car is now stopped. A joyful “We did it!” feeling sweeps over me.
The next problem: the man’s not breathing.
Thoughts start running through my mind: I need to start CPR(心肺复苏术) … You can’t do CPR on a person sitting in a car … There’s no way I can lift this guy out … He has about five minutes until he’s dead.
I can’t help shaking. Over my shoulder, I notice a black SUV has pulled up behind us. A man is standing beside me and says, “I’m a doctor.” I step back. He quickly unfastens the driver’s seat belt, carries him to the sidewalk and begins CPR.
I walk around to the passenger window to check on the elderly lady. With tears in eyes and hands shaking, she can only manage to speak softly, “Will he be okay?”
“I hope so,” I tell her.
And he is.

D.The passenger pays no attention to him.

【3】Why does the author step back in paragraph 6?
A.To look for a professional.
B.To check on the elderly lady.

D.To ask other passengers for help.
【4】Which is the best title for the text?

B.A Small Act of Kindness
C.An Exciting Adventure
D.A Lucky Elderly Couple
23、 Sophie became friends with the gray squirrels during her first week at Penn State, after spotting them running around and wondering what they would look like with tiny hats on their heads. Today, everyone at the university knows her as the "Squirrel Girl".
Sophie tried bringing them food, and gradually they began to trust her. She managed to put a hat on a squirrel and take a picture. Thinking that her colleagues could do with something to lift their spirits, she started posting similar photos on Facebook. The response was greatly positive, and before long Sophie and her squirrels became an Internet sensation (轰动).
Growing up in a neighborhood outside of State College, Sophie was always fond of birds and animals around her home, but she didn't interact with people very much. She was later diagnosed (诊断)with Asperger's syndrome, but the squirrels changed that. "The squirrels help me break the ice, because I'll be sitting here patting a squirrel and other people will come over and well just start like feeding the squirrels together and chatting about them," she said, "I am a lot more outgoing."
And in case you're wondering how Sophie is able to get the squirrels to do what she wants for her photos, it has a lot to do with food. For example, whenever she wants them to hold or play with something, she puts peanut butter on the prop (道具), and they'll grab it. In the beginning, she would throw peanuts up the trees on campus and invite the squirrels to come down and get them, but they hesitated to approach her. She had the patience to earn their trust, though.
This year, Sophie is graduating with a degree in English and wildlife sciences. She wants to be a science writer and educate people on how to preserve the environment. As for her furry friends, Sophie plans to stay in the area and visit them as often as she can.

25、Is love really blind? Yes, it is, at least when it comes to ________others, US researchers reported. College students who reported they were in love were less likely to ________other attractive men or women, the team at the University of California Los Angeles and dating Web site eHarmony found.
“Feeling love for your ________partner appears to make everybody else less attractive, and the emotion appears to enable you to push thoughts of that ________other out of your mind,” said Gian Gonzaga of eHarmony, whose study is published in the journal Evolution and Human Behavior.
“It’s almost like ________puts blinders (眼罩)on people,” added Martie Haselton, an associate professor of psychology and communication studies at UCLA.
Gonzaga and Haselton asked 120 undergraduates in committed relationships to ________photographs of attractive members of the opposite sex from an eHarmony Web site. The ________were asked to choose the most attractive photos, and write an essay either about their current lover, or the ________of their choice.
Those who wrote about their lovers were six times less likely to ________that they thought of the attractive others than volunteers who wrote about the people on ________photos.
And later asked to ________the good-looking people in the pictures, the students who wrote about their lovers remembered fewer details about the physical appearance of the attractive ________.
“These people could remember the color of a shirt or whether the photo was taken in New York ________ anything attractive about the person,” Gonzaga said.
“It’s not like their overall ________was hurt; it’s as if they had ________screened out things that would make them think about how attractive the alternative was.”
