21、Four best secret beaches in the Caribbean
Spotts Beach, Grand Cayman
Surrounded by cliffs, this picturesque beach on Grand Cayman is excellent for seeing sea turtles, and its location – the south coast of the island – makes it perfect for watching the sunrise and set. Best of all, there’s limited parking and only a few homes nearby, so you won’t be climbing over sunbathers, nor will you be competing for space at the picnic tables or grills.
Little Bay, Anguilla
When you have to climb down a rope along a cliff to get there, you know it’s a secret beach. But that’s precisely the adventure it takes to enjoy the quiet nature of Little Bay. While accessing it may be a bit of an upsetting experience, once you get to the white sandy beaches with no crowds, you’ll be glad you did. We guess we should mention you can take a hired boat here, too.
La Sagesse Beach, Grenada
Clear water and soft sand are two of the many reasons people seek out this peaceful, palm tree-dotted slice of the Grenada coastline, which has but a single hotel. You can rent beach chairs and boat, and be sure to explore the tropical gardens of the La Sagesse Nature Center, located less than a mile down the road. Book a private villa right near the beach or choose a nearby hotel like 473 Grenada Boutique Resort.
Gold Rock Beach, Grand Bahama
Referred to as a “welcome mat” during low tide because you can sit on the sand bar, Gold Rock Beach is part of the Lucayan National Park, which you have to walk through to get to the sandy shores. You’ll only see a couple of other beachgoers at this hidden diamond in the Bahamas, and you can explore Lucayan’s underground caves nearby – that is, if you can tear yourself away from the sunshine.
【1】Which beach best suits people who enjoy sea turtles?
A．Little Bay, Anguilla.
B．La Sagesse Beach, Grenada.
C．Spotts Beach, Grand Cayman.
D．Gold Rock Beach, Grand Bahama.
【2】How can a tourist reach Little Bay, Anguilla?
A．By driving a car.
B．By simply walking.
C．By taking a hired plane.
D．By climbing down a rope.
【3】What is special about Gold Rock Beach, Grand Bahama?
A．Tourists can visit tropical gardens.
B．Tourists can explore underground caves.
C．Tourists can appreciate the sunrise and set.
D．Tourists can spot clear water and soft sand.
22、For every cup of coffee you made, about two spoons of grounds end up in the waste. That doesn’t seem like a lot, but just think about the millions of coffees consumed around the world every single day, and you’ll see the problem. Sure, some of those coffee grounds are recycled as fertilizer to enrich the soil or beauty products like face masks, but most will be buried into the ground. It was while considering this issue that German product designer Julian Lechner came up with a new way of recycling coffee grounds — turning them into tableware.
“We were always drinking coffee at university,” Lechner remembers. “And that’s how I started to wonder. What happens to all that coffee? It was all just getting thrown away.” He began consulting with his professors about ways of using coffee grounds to create a solid material.
“We tried combining with a lot of different things,” Lechner said, “We even tried sugar. That was close, but basically it was a candy cup. It just kept melting after being used three times.” The whole point was to make it last long, so Lechner and his partners went back to the institute to continue their research. Finally, after many failed experiments, they came up with a mix of coffee grounds and a biopolymer(生物高聚物) that seemed to behave the way Lechner had expected it.
“The moment of knowing the cup would actually stand was super-exciting,” he recalls. “It was wonderful to drink that first coffee out of the cup. It proved to be totally worth the wait.” And his creation has proven commercially successful, which is just the icing on the cake. The coffee cups are now present in ten shops across Europe, and the company can hardly keep up with demand, regularly selling out of its stock online.
Lechner will soon launch a larger line of coffee grounds cups and also work on a travel mug. But those are just short-term plans, as Lechner hopes to one day use recycled coffee grounds to create all sort of useful stuff—like sheets and furniture in cafés and restaurants.
【1】What do people do with coffee grounds before Lechner?
A. Make products beautiful.
B. Improve the soil.
C. Produce drinking cups.
D. Create solid materials.
【2】What can we infer from Paragraph 3?
A. Candy cups can last longer than coffee cups.
B. Coffee grounds are rich in biopolymer.
C. Biopolymer can get coffee cups used repeatedly.
D. Lechner invented coffee cups alone.
【3】What does the underlined phrase refer to in Paragraph 4?
A. Profits from coffee cup business.
B. Creation of coffee cups.
C. Decreasing demands for coffee grounds.
D. Consumption of delicious iced coffee.
【4】What is the main idea of the passage?
A. A new way of recycling coffee cups.
B. Commercial success from consuming coffee.
C. Recycling coffee grounds into stuff like coffee cups.
D. Different product designers of recycling coffee grounds.
23、If you find yourself hitting the snooze button(闹钟延时按钮) every morning, don't blame yourself. Your work schedule could be to blame.
Research now shows that, for many of us, our work schedules don't go with our natural body clocks—and experts are urging employers to take notice. Sleep is a “strategic resource” that most companies are ignoring. When work schedules are aligned with people's natural sleep patterns, they produce higher quality and more innovative work because they are more focused, less stressed and generally healthier. The opposite is also true—when employees are not getting enough sleep they are more likely to make major mistakes and suffer from workplace injuries.
But it's not just about the amount of sleep you get. It's important that people recognize every living thing, from primitive bacteria to human beings, has a biologically determined internal body clock. This determines whether you are a night owl(夜猫子), an early bird or somewhere in the middle. We don't have any choice. “It's like feet，” said Till Roenneberg, a professor of chronobiology(生物钟学). “Some people are born with big feet and some with small feet, but most people are somewhere in the middle.”
Many companies start the workday at 8 a.m. or 9 a.m., putting their work schedules in disagreement with their employees' body clock. This mismatch, along with the pressure to be productive and be available to respond to email or take calls at all hours of the day and night, means that many people suffer from what is called “social jet lag” .
【1】The underlined word “aligned” in Paragraph 2 means “________”.
A. matched B. cooperated
C. conflicted D. shortened
【2】What does Till Roenneberg' s remark mean?
A. The amount of sleep you get counts much.
B. An early bird does better than a night owl.
C. We are born to have a body clock.
D. Most people have neither too big nor too small feet.
【3】If people suffer from “social jet lag”， they will ________.
A. not be as clever as other people
B. fail to finish their daily tasks
C. fail to adjust their body clock
D. act as if they were in the wrong time zone
【4】What is the best title for the passage?
A. Body clock and good work habits
B. Late for work? Maybe not your fault
C. How to improve your work efficiency
D. Urgent need to change your body clock
