21、On the eastern side of the Arabian Peninsula, the desert turns green as clouds cover it like a blanket. This is the country of Oman’s monsoon (季风) season. The natural event, which is a festival and lasts three months, draws hundreds of thousands of tourists with cool weather and beautiful views. It began on June 21.
A 60-day festival, in Oman’s Dhofar region, draws about 50,000 people every night for dance competitions, and musical performances. In the midst of the clouds, people celebrate Oman’s cultural diversification of Arab, African, and Asian roots.
Officials in Dhofar region started the monsoon festival in 1998. The monsoon festival now draws performers from 40 countries. 60 percent of the visitors come from Oman, while the rest come from nearby countries such as Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and Bahrain.
Each night, a different Omani city takes the main stage. The port of Sohar did a sea-themed show with cannons (大炮) and a large wooden ship. The next night, a group from Bidbid sang with swords while a musician blew into a goat’s horn. Actually, different groups used the festival to share their world-wide cultures.
The mountains around Salalah, Dhofar’s capital city, trap wetness from the Indian Ocean monsoon. Air pressure pockets above Saudi Arabia and Tibet drive air currents (气流) to Oman. These weather currents create a special environment, which has heavy fogs and green mountains and coasts.
Thomas Wagmann, on holiday from Dubai, noted, “Compared to Dubai, this Dhofar region is just fantastic because you can be outdoors all the time.” He added, “You don’t even have to worry about sunburn because there’s no sun.”

22、A
Insects (昆虫) are a very healthy food. They have almost as much protein (蛋白质) as meat from a pig or cow and are low in fat. Eating insects is also very good for the environment since they need less land and water than larger animals.
Marcel Dicke, who studies insects, explained in a talk how insects also produce more meat from the food they eat. For example, imagine a farmer feeds a cow 10 pounds of food. Those 10 pounds of food produce about 1 pound of meat for people to eat. However, imagine the farmer gives a certain number of insects 10 pounds of food. Those 10 pounds of food produce 9 pounds of meat for people to eat!
Eating more insects can also help people in poor areas. Many people can raise and sell insects, which can provide jobs and food.
But insects will not replace (替代) animal meat very quickly. First, people in some countries would have to change how they think about eating insects. Many people in North America and Europe eat a lot of meat like beef and pork. But they do not traditionally eat insects. In fact, for many people in the west, eating insects sounds crazy! They believe insects are dirty and dangerous. Insects make them feel uncomfortable.
Some people are trying to deal with this problem. For example, David George Gordon wrote a book named “The Eat-A-Bug Cookbook”, which tries to show people that insects can be delicious. Other insect experts travel around telling people about the benefits (好处) of eating insects. But they still have a lot of work to do.
【1】Eating insects _____.
A. is not healthy
B. makes people put on fat
C. helps protect large animals
D. is environmentally friendly
【2】The example of Marcel Dicke is given to show _____.
A. the high cost of food production
B. it’s quite easy for farmers to raise insects
C. raising insects is a good choice for farmers
D. the different ways of feeding cows and insects
【3】The long way eating insects has to go mainly results from _____.
A. their terrible taste B. people’s old beliefs
C. family traditions D. eating methods
【4】We can infer from David and other insect experts that _____.
A. people can make a lot of money from insects
B. insects should be better protected
C. people should eat more insects
D. it’s dangerous to eat insects
23、Russ Fee was asleep inside his tent last summer in Canada's Banff National Park when a series of screams shocked him awake. Throwing on his shoes and grabbing a lantern his wife had handed him, he ran out to investigate. Despite the darkness, he could make out a neighboring tent. Backing out was a wolf, dragging something in his teeth—a man.
Moments earlier, Elisa and Matt, were asleep with their two young children when the wolf tore into their tent. "It was like something out of a horror movie," Elisa recalled. For three minutes, Matt threw his body in front of Elisa and the boys and fought against the wolf. At one point, Matt got the upper hand, but the wolf turned the tables and dragged Matt outside while Elisa was pulling on his legs trying to get him back.
It was then that Russ Fee entered the picture. He ran at the beast, kicking it in the hip. The wolf dropped Matt and emerged from the tent. Fee felt like he had hit someone that was way out of his weight class.
Before the wolf could turn its anger on Fee, Matt, his arms bloodied, restarted the battle. The men threw at the wolf with rocks, forcing it back. Then the families fled to the shelter of the Fees, minivan and called an ambulance.
"Attacks are so rare that a person here has a greater chance of being killed by a dog, lightning, a bee sting, or a car collision with a deer than being injured by a wolf" said Matt.
Fee did think about drawing back, if less heroic, during the heat of battle. The moment the wolf locked eyes with him, Fee said, "I immediately regretted kicking it."
【1】What were the two families doing in the park?
A.They were making a horror movie.
B.They were camping in the wild.
C.They were studying wolves.
D.They were investigating the park.
【2】How did Matt escape from the wolf?
A.By Fee's kicking the wolf from behind.
B.By turning the table on the wolf.
C.By placing his hand tightly on the wolf.
D.By his wife's pulling his legs.
【3】What can be inferred from Paragraph 5?
A.Many deer are killed by vehicles.
B.Dogs are people's friends in need.
C.Wolves seldom attack people there.
D.People are often attacked by wolves.
【4】Which word can best describe Fee in the story?
A.Brave.
B.Responsible.
C.Indifferent.
D.Clever.
24、Playgrounds for All Kids
Most of us are all too familiar with the typical playground set-up, monkey bars, swings, and slides, all accessed by steps and surrounded by a sea of sand or wood chips. 【1】 However, many disabled children end up being unable to access all of the equipment because of the way it’s constructed.
【2】Its founder, Cody Goldberg, wanted to build a place for his disabled daughter Harper to play freely. It uses spiral(螺旋形的) walkways leading to activities, rather than steps, where kids in wheelchairs ride alongside those on skateboards. 【3】 Play areas are accessible to both wheelchair users and walkers.
Goldberg describes the idea behind designing these playgrounds as completely inclusive. They don’t strictly cater to (迎合) children with disabilities and are not meant to prevent any child from having access to play.【4】The inclusive playground model is now spreading across the county. While the original Harper’s Playground is located in Portland, Oregon, similar playgrounds have popped up throughout the state. Harper’s Playground is now teaming up with those interested in building a park of their own. 【5】 Changing the way playgrounds are built will have a wide-spread effect. It will affect the way schools are designed and built, and it will affect how the workplace is treated, and then ultimately it will change the way people with disabilities are thought of and treated.
A.What are their accessible playgrounds like today?
B.Harper’s Playground was created for just this problem.
C.Harper’s Playground began to work on its initial designs.
D.The equipment and layout provide access to a fun experience for all.
E.Slides are built extra wide so a caregiver and a child can go together.
F.It hopes to eventually spread across the country and, ultimately, the world.
G.The intention of these public playgrounds is to give kids a safe and fun place to play.
