21、Green tourism, a form of ecotourism, is low-impact(环保的)tourism with an eye toward protecting the environment and culture of an area. 【1】, but green tourism can cover a wide range of standard and conditions, from fully compliant(遵守)to less stressful on the environment than standard tourism. There are many opportunities for green travel available worldwide.
【2】, which makes green tourism not only preferable but a necessity in some areas. It might seem wiser of some people to protect natural habitats(栖息地)and fragile environments by banning visitors completely to these areas, but many areas depend on the income from tourism to support the local economy. Green, sustainable(可持续的)tourism is considered offering the best of both worlds.
Green tourism doesn't necessarily mean a vacation spent roughing it with little or no comforts. On the contrary, many people believe that it can be a wonderful adventure. Ecotourism resorts(度假胜地)and ecologies exist in almost every style and taste. 【3】. There are many vacationing choices.
There are also trips available in which vacationers take an active part in improving the local area by working to preserve the natural habitat, helping to build a school or performing other services that benefit the area. These vacations can be a lot of work. 【4】.
As green tourism becomes more popular, there are likely to be more vacationing choices available. More resort areas will likely take steps to have less of an impact on the surrounding environment. 【5】. Local economies might be able to take full advantage of the booming tourist trade without doing harm to the local environment, allowing tourists to enjoy the beauty that these areas have to offer for many years to come.
A.Green tourism is very popular
B.Therefore, we should make the best of them
C.However, many people find them very rewarding
D.Sustainable tourism could easily become the standard
E.From recycling and gray water system to tents on tree houses
F.The number of tourists traveling the world has been increasing
G.The United Nations has set up certain standard for ecotourism
22、The Ministry of Education has asked the publisher of primary school math textbooks to redo the illustrations after public outcry for being too ugly and inappropriate.
The ministry has asked the People’s Education Press to carry out prompt measures and make sure new textbooks are available for students before the start of autumn semester in September, it said in a release on Saturday. 【1】 , which are used by primary and secondary schools nationwide, especially on the content and illustrations.
The evaluation aims to make sure they adhere to right political direction and values orientation, promote traditional Chinese culture and conform to public aesthetic taste. 【2】. The ministry welcomes the public to send suggestions on the textbooks, which will be taken into account in a timely manner, it added.

The People’s Education Press has expressed deep apologies and regret for the illustrations. 【4】, which will be completed before Sept 1, it said in a statement on Saturday.
It will select new design teams to redo the illustration on math textbooks used by primary school students, taking suggestions from the public, especially teachers, students and parents, the statement said. 【5】.
The textbooks, which are used by primary school students, were vetted by authorities in 2012 and 2013 and are the work of the Wu Yong Design Studio. Wu himself graduated from the Academy of Arts and Design at Tsinghua University in 1988. He has worked at China Youth Press and been a professor at Shantou University’s Cheung Kong School of Art & Design.

23、As soon as a person dies, decomposition(分解) begins. And the first visitors arrive. “Within 5 to 15 minutes of death, flies or other insects begin to colonize the body.” says Rabi Musah, an organic chemist at the University at Albany.
She says different species turn up at different stages of decomposition. “So because of that, depending upon what entomological(昆虫学的) evidence you find, you can learn something about when the person died in terms of the timing of the death.”
Flies don't tend to stick around when disturbed by detectives. But they do leave behind eggs. The eggs are hard to tell apart by appearance alone, so specialists raise them until they hatch, a few weeks later—and they get a species ID and, with a little guesswork, a person's time of death. But Musah has come up with a more time-saving approach: chemical analysis of the eggs. She and her team investigated that method by first harvesting flies with pig-liver traps hidden throughout New York City. They collected the trapped flies and then chemically analyzed their eggs. And it turns out each species of fly egg has a unique chemical fingerprint—enough to tell the eggs apart without raising the eggs to maturity. The study is in the journal Analytical Chemistry.
Musah and her colleague Jennifer Rosati are now testing the method on a real case. “And once we do that we will be publishing some case studies to illustrate(阐明) that this is a method that can be used, and hopefully eventually it's something that will stand up in court, and something that could speed up detective work—or help deal with a cold case.”
【1】Which of the following can best replace the underlined word “colonize” in paragraph 1?
A. look for B. fight over C. carry away D. gather on
【2】How can a specialist know a person’s time of death?
A. By researching the habitual nature of flies.
B. By relying on the entomological evidence.
C. By distinguishing the appearance of flies.
D. By discovering a new detective method.
【3】What can we infer about Musah’s approach from the last paragraph?
A. Scientists have published studies about it.
B. It is bound to make every cold case solved.
C. It may help accelerate the detection of cases.
D. It will be published in Analytical Chemistry.
【4】Where most probably can you see this article?
A. In a science fiction. B. In a newspaper.
C. In a medical paper. D. In a novel.
24、 Ashley Power's mother bought a computer for her when she was eight.

26、阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Mr. Dawson was an old grouch (脾气坏的人), and everyone in town knew it. Kids knew not to go into his yard to pick a delicious apple, even off the ground, because old Dawson, they said, would come after you with his ball bullet gun.
One Friday, 12-year-old Janet was going to stay all night with her friend Amy. They had to walk by Dawson’s house on the way to Amy’s house, but as they got close Janet saw him sitting on his front porch and suggested they cross over to the other side of the street. Like most of the children, she was scared of the old man because of the stories she’d heard about him.
Amy said not to worry, Mr. Dawson wouldn’t hurt any-one. Still, Janet was growing more nervous with each step closer to the old man’s house. When they got close enough, Dawson looked up with his usual frown, but when he saw it was Amy, a broad smile changed his entire face as he said, “Hello Miss Amy. I see you’ve got a little friend with you today.”
Amy smiled back and told him Janet was staying overnight and they were going to listen to music and play games. Dawson told them that sounded fun, and offered them each a fresh picked apple off his tree. They gladly accepted. Dawson had the best apples in town.
When they got out of Dawson’s earshot, Janet asked Amy, “Everyone says he’s the meanest man in town. How come was he so nice to us?”
Amy explained that when she first started walking past his house he wasn’t very friendly and she was afraid of him, but she pretended he was wearing an invisible smile and so she always smiled back at him. It took a while, but one day he half-smiled back at her.
