21、Four Underwater Cities You Must Visit
Dwarka-India
Dwarka is located 70 feet under the sea near the inhabited island of Bet Dwarka. It was built sometime between 9, 000 and 12, 000 years ago and those fortunate enough to visit can witness a diverse variety of buildings in addition to a seaport and protective walls made of sandstone. Furthermore, large stone anchors indicate that overseas trade took place in Dwarka during the Age of Antiquity all the way through medieval times.
Pavlopetri-Greece
Pavlopetri was founded around 5, 000 years ago, making it one of the oldest underwater lost cities in the world. Since it was rediscovered in 1967, archeologists and tourists alike have been fascinated by the well-preserved handicrafts. What makes Pavlopetri stick out is that it has a nearly-complete town plan, including at least 15 buildings. There is also evidence that it was once a major producer of textiles, with some of the equipment still complete!
Antirhodos-Egypt
This ancient underwater island was rediscovered in 1996 near the Alexandria harbor. In addition to being the site of the Lighthouse of Alexandria, one of the Ancient Wonders of the World that had been presumed(推测)lost forever, explorers can find a marble-floored 3rd century B. C. palace. The best thing is that the island is only a few meters under the water, which makes it easy to explore even for new divers!
Atlit-Yam-Israel
This underwater site was discovered in 1984 off the coast of Atlit near Haifa, and is estimated to have been settled between 6, 900 and 6, 300 B. C. This location offers the clearest evidence of where humans made the transition(过渡)from hunter-gatherers to settled farmers. Dive insurance is required, so make sure you are covered when you plan your trip.

22、 New Zealand plans to forbid foreigners to buy existing homes. The ban is expected to become law this year. It aims to slow the rising housing prices and protect New Zealanders interested in buying a home.
The Labour Party government believes that foreign investors have pushed many possible first-time home buyers and families out of the housing market. Last year, housing prices across the country rose by 5.8 percent, to over $405,000. Housing prices rose even more in New Zealand’s capital city, Wellington. Price there rose by more than 18 percent over a 12-month period that ended in June 2017.
The rising prices have pushed home ownership outside the reach of many possible buyers. One home owner told VOA he feels sorry for the younger generation. “I just believe the market has made it impossible for them to get into the housing.” Just 25 years ago, three out of every four New Zealanders lived in their own homes. Now the rate is 64 percent — and falling.
The ban on forbidding foreigners to buy existing homes has yet to be approved. But the measure, called the Overseas Investment Amendment Bill, passed its first reading in parliament (国会)in December. Limiting foreign ownership of housing has been tried in other countries, including Switzerland, “ If foreign investors are looking to put their cash into New Zealand, if it then forces up the price of property, people cannot afford to live anymore.” says Norman Gemmell, chair of public finance at Victoria University.
Critics say foreign investors have had only a small effect on the cost of housing. Low interest rates, limited supply and immigration have also driven up house prices.
Housing prices continue to rise across the country. And for many New Zealanders, the dream of owning a home is as distant as ever.
【1】Which is the main factor of the high housing prices, according to the Labour Party government?
A.Low interest rates. B.Investors at home.
C.Immigration. D.Foreign buyers.
【2】What can we infer from the passage?
A.Housing prices rose by over 18 percent over a year.
B.The housing prices of the capital city rose the least.
C.The rate of New Zealanders living in their own houses is decreasing.
D.The country has witnessed the highest rise in housing prices up to now.
【3】According to the passage, the ban __________.
A.has been approved in New Zealand
B.will encourage foreigners to buy a house
C.has been tried in other countries
D.will make local people harder to own a home
【4】What does the passage mainly talk about?
A.It is hard for the locals to buy a house in New Zealand.
B.New Zealand will prevent foreign buyers from buying a house.
C.The prices of houses in New Zealand have been rising sharply.
D.There are many reasons for high housing prices in New Zealand.
23、Children seem to care so much about their names. A study shows that most of young people wish their parents had given them a different name.
Some people choose to change their names when they grow up. Many people in show business don’t use the names their parents gave them. Have you ever listened to Joanne? No? The answer could be “yes” if we call her stage name instead! You may never heard of Margaret. But if we tell you her stage name, you might know her as a famous dancer.
In many cultures, there are special ideas about how to choose a name. For example, many people choose a name that has been in their family for many years. It tells the child where he or she comes from.
Choosing a good name isn’t easy. Many parents search books that tell them the meanings of names. They could choose a name that carries a message. For example, Edith means “valuable gift”. Amanda means “love”. And Fara means “joy”.
Names like these tell family and friends how happy they are with their new baby. Other names can say something about the events during the birth of the child. In Africa, a first born son may have the name Mosi and the name Ama means “born on Saturday”.
Is every boy called Curitis polite? And is every girl called Mahira quick and full of energy? No parents can tell what kind of person their child will grow up to be. Just because parents name a boy Fahim, it doesn’t mean he will be clever. All they can do is hope.
【1】What can we know about the study?
A.Young kids don’t care about their future.
B.Most of young people care about their names.
C.Most girls want to change their names.
D.Most parents want to rename by themselves.
【2】Why is “Joanne” mentioned in paragraph 2?
A.To prove some people hope to be renamed.
B.To introduce a famous dancer to readers.
C.To introduce her true name.
D.To tell the benefit of name.
【3】Why is it difficult to choose a good name?
A.Kids always want to rename.
B.It is hard to change kids’ names.
C.Parents aren’t sure if their kids will like the name.
D.Parents want to choose a meaningful name.
【4】What is the best title for the text?
A.Names can never influence our lives
B.Your parents’ wish is behind names
C.Love your parents, love your name
D.Methods to choose a suitable name
24、 A new deadly virus is threatening rabbits in North America. It’s a particular disease of rabbits that has recently appeared in some parts of the Western US. If it continues to spread unchecked, it could harm all species of rabbits in the US and the ecosystems they belong to.
It is thought to have spilled over from one species to another—in the case of the novel coronavirus (新型冠状病毒), likely a bat to humans; in the rabbit disease, from domestic to wild rabbits—and both arose so quickly that health officials had a limited window to act.
“The disease likely originated around a decade ago in European rabbits, which contain most domestic rabbits sold in the US,” said Matt Gompper, a disease ecologist. Then, in early March, another virus was discovered in wild rabbits in southern New Mexico. A few days later, dead rabbits were spotted nearby in El Paso, Texas. More sightings followed in Arizona, Colorado and, in May, in California. Ecologists aren’t sure how virus type 2 arrived in the US. Gompper said he predicted the disease worked its way through rabbit meat or the domestic rabbit trade. It also might have been circulating in northern Mexico, which shares a border with New Mexico and Texas.
Because the disease is so new, there’s virtually no data on deaths. So while it’s still concerning, ecologists aren’t sure if the illness will cause concentrated outbreaks in local areas or widespread deaths across the US. Either way, it’s a loss for conservation. Several rabbit species, including California’s Riparian brush rabbit are endangered, and they’re already up against habitat loss. A potential disease could prevent their recovery.
“Rabbits aren’t the only ones who’d suffer, though. If rabbit population decreases, then the predators (捕食者) who prey on them would lose a valuable food source, and the plants they eat may overgrow, shaking the whole ecosystem,” Gompper said.
【1】What does the underlined phrase “spilled over” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A.Appeared. B.Changed.
C.Spread. D.Connected.
【2】What is the author’s purpose of writing paragraph 3?
A.To tell how the disease came to the US.
B.To warn of the serious danger of the virus.
C.To tell us how to deal with the disease.
D.To provide some advice for the readers.
【3】What can we infer from the text?
A.The disease has spread around the world.
B.The disease is not dangerous until recently.
C.The disease has little impact on environment.
D.The disease could harm the whole ecosystem.
【4】Which is the main idea of the text?
A.Rabbits are facing a deadly virus.
B.A deadly virus is threatening the world.
C.Rabbits are important to the ecosystem.
D.Rabbits are easily infected with the virus.
