ABeore the Civil War, a vast, loosely organized and constantly changing set of routes known as the Underground Railroad helped up to 100,000 slaves escaped to the Northern free states. From “conductors” to “stationmasters”, here are some of the Underground Railroad’s most notable participants.Harriet TubmanNicknamed “Moses,” she would go on to become the Underground Railroad’s most famous “conductor,” involved in about 13 rescue operations and leading at least 70 slaves to the “promised land” of Canada. including several siblings. Being A master of tricks, such as leaving on Saturdays, two days before slave owners could post runaway notices in the newspapers, she boasted of having never lost a single passenger.William StillFrom Wilmington, the last Underground Railroad station in the slave state of Delaware, many runaways made their way to the office of William Still. Recording the personal histories of his visitors, Still eventually published a book that provided great insight into how the Underground Railroad operated. One arrival to his office turned out to be his long-lost brother.Levi CoffinKnown as the “president of the Underground Railroad,” Levi Coffin determined to help slaves at age 7 when he witnessed chained slaves being driven to be sold. Later, he grew to be a “stationmaster”. He claimed to have assisted about 3,300 slaves, saying he and his wife, Catherine, rarely passed a week without hearing a telltale (告密者) nighttime knock on their side door.Elijah AndersonLight skinned enough to pass for a white slave owner, Anderson took numerous trips into Kentucky, where he purportedly rounded up 20 to 30 slaves at a time and took them to the free states. The work was extremely dangerous. Later he was accused of “help ing slaves to run away”and was arrest. On the very day of his release in 1861, Anderson was found dead in his cell.21. What was the duty of “conductors” in the Underground Railroad?A. Guiding slaves to their destination.B. Giving away free tickets to slaves.C. Providing hiding places for slaves.D. Donating money and goods to slaves.22. Who contributed a lot to people’s learning about the Underground Railroad?A. Harriet TubmanB. Levi CoffinC. William StillD. Elijah Anderson23. Why was Elijah Anderson put into prison?A. He pretended to be a white.B. He assisted slaves to escape.C. He killed several slave ownersD. He betrayed his partners.24. What can we infer about the people mentioned in the text?A. All of them were born slaves.B. They lost their lives for the freedom of slaves.C.They are founders of modern subway.D.They are contributors to the Underground Railroad.BWhen jumping off a diving board, a belly flop is not the outcome most people are looking for, but for those competing in the crazy Norwegian sport of Dødsing, hitting the water belly first is a risk that comes with the territory.Dødsing, or “Death Diving”, is a Norwegian extreme sport that has daredevils jumping from a 10-meter-high board with their arms and legs spread out in an x-formation. The goal is to keep the pose for as long as possible and curl your body slightly right before hitting the water to prevent injuries. At the World Dødsing Championship, a wacky competition held every summer since 2008, the diver who manages to remain flat the longest during their jump is pronounced the winner.But there are plenty of fearless dødsing divers at the world championship, so in order to determine the winner, judges also take into account other factors, such as the speed, height and power of the jump, the originality of the jumping style and the spray produced when hitting the water.The painful-looking sport is believed to have been invented during the 1960’s, at the famous Frognerbadet pool complex in Oslo, probably by a bunch of kids trying to show off in front of their friends. The first ever dødsing championship was a small affair, with just six divers and about a dozen spectators, but after the founding of Det internasjonale dødseforbundet (The International Dødsing Association) in 2011, its popularity grew exponentially. These days, the World Dødsing Championship held at Frognerbadet is a big event, featuring close to 100 divers and thousands of spectators.It’s no surprise that the popularity of has begun spreading across Europe in recent years. It is, after all, a fun sport to watch, as confirmed by the thousands of spectators gathering every year to see who can make the biggest splash. It’s fun for the divers as well, although they admit that coming out of the pool with a few bruises is to be expected, as well.“It is both fun and challenging. It’s fun to push yourself a little, feel the adrenaline,” dødsing diver Arne Veim Haugland says.25. What will be taken into consideration when deciding the winner?A. The height of the diver.B. The depth of the water.C. The length of the board.D. The time of remaining flat.26. Which of the following can best describe those who participate in dødsing?A. Aggressive.B. Strong.C. Brave.D. Patience.27. What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 4?A. The reason for the popularity of dødsing.B. The origin and development of dødsing.C. The number of the audience of dødsing.D. The requirements of the competition of dødsing.CI miss the internet. I know that, technically, the internet still exists. But I miss the old days before money invaded the internet – the early 2000s when I created the literary blog.Back then, nothing you did mattered. And that gave you freedom. Back then, the online book culture was run mostly by enthusiasts and amateurs, people who were creating blogs and webzines simply for the pleasure of it, rather than to build a career or a brand. I know that nostalgia is a stupid emotion, but still I regret the day money found the internet. Once advertisers showed up, offering to pay us to do the thing we were doing just for fun, it was very hard to say no.The problem with doing what you love as a day job is that you have to make compromises in order to make money. When you’re just an enthusiast, you can write about anything you want. Your only restriction is the limit of your curiosity.But you probably won’t get much attention. And in the world of online publishing, attention is everything. Your profit is linked directedly to how many clicks and page views you got.In order to make enough money to run a real publication, you have to write about books everyone has already heard of. You have to narrow your conversation down to the one that is already happening elsewhere. It’s not just the publications that prefer these voices, it’s the readers themselves.I had given up on the site making money, and I would just shrug and continue to publish the voices I was interested in. I was lucky because I have a side business as consultant, so the advertising dollars were not essential. But for those who do rely on this income, they have to align their coverage to their audience’s desires.There is a way to strike a balance: do the shallow things that you know will get money, and let that pay for your favorite project.28. The author is most likely to be _______.A. a writerB.an advertiserC.an actorD.a teacher29. Why does the author miss the Internet in the early 2000s?A. He could earn a lot of money.B. He had free access to the Internet.C. His literary blog was very money.D. His interest was not affected by money.30 Which of the following could get the most clicks?A. Compositions written by students.B. Reports about advanced science.C. Articles about popular topics.D. Reviews about books few people have read.31. What advice does the author give in the text?A. Think twice before you act.B. Never do things against your will.C. Earn money to do your favorite things.D. Follow your dream until you achieve it.D‘Moby-Dick’ is a famous novel by American writer Herman Melville which tells a story about Captain Ahab. The captain lost his leg because of the whale called Moby Dick. So he determined to slaughter the White whale, even if he had to lose everything including his own life.The story is based on Melville’s real life experience on a ship ‘Acushnet’. Apart from his own experiences on the whaler he got his sources from two real life stories: one was the sinking of ‘Essex’ and the other was the killing of a sperm whale, Mocha Dick. In fact this ground-breaking author wrote this novel without actually visiting the Island Nantucket.In 1852 on his visit to Massachusetts he met Captain George Pollard Jr. who was in charge ofthe ‘Essex’, which was a ship that sank in the sea in 1820. Pollard managed to survive and returned only to captain another ship called the ‘Two Brothers’. Regrettably two years later, this too did not have a fate different from the earlier vessel, since it broke down on a coral reef. After this Pollard was never allowed to captain a ship ever again. And eventually he was driven to a situation where he began working as a watchman for the village.A short description of Pollard and his experience with the destructive whale sinking the ‘Essex’ has also been mentioned in the novel. The n ovelist knew that the ill-fated captain’s experiences did not end with seeing his ship sink but he had gone through a lot more pain and dreadful moments. “To the islanders he was a nobody,”Herman wrote, “to me, the most impressive man that I ever met.”In fact, Pollard and his crew experienced such extreme hunger that they had even eaten the flesh of his own cousin to survive. This is the story of the extreme misfortune which fell upon Captain Pollack and his crew, so horrific, that Herman thought was best left unsaid in his novel.32. What does the underlined word “slaughter” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?A. RaisedB. KillC. SellD. Get33. What happened to George Pollard Jr.?A. He was reduced to guarding a villageB. He was in charge of the ship AcushnetC. He caught and killed the whale Mocha DickD. He lost one leg in an attempt to catch Mocha Dick34. What did Herman Melville think of George Pollard Jr.?A. AmbitiousB. MercifulC. AdmiableD. Honest35. What might be the best title for the text?A. The Unlucky Captain AhabB. A Famous Writer: Herman MelvilleC. The Tale Between a Whale and a CaptainD.

IVL says that the challenge to get people to drink recycled water is not a technological one, but a psychological one, so what better way to convince consumers of the purity of treated wastewater than using it to create a beer?PU: REST was just born in Sweden on May 25th this year, and it's already being called"crap beer"on social media, but its creators remain hopeful that it will help change the general opinion about recycled wastewater.The difficulties in getting this relatively cost- and energy-efficient method to be used for the production of drinking water is not technical but primarily emotional, "said Staffan PsSon, project manager at IVL."The recycled water is as pure and safe as normal tap water, but most people are still skeptical about actual drinking purified wastewater".Chris Thurgeson, brewmaster at New Carnegie Brewery, described PU: REST as a"crystalclear pilsner",adding that his company took this challenge because it believes"thal both producersand consumers must dare to think differently if we are to successfully take care of Earth's resources".PU: REST reportedly has "a very clean and crisp taste", but judging by the comments left on the New Carnegie Brewery Facebook page, consumers arent that excited about it.You can now try PU: REST at New Carnegie Brewery's restaurant in Stockholm, or wait until it goes on sale across Sweden next month.8.

" These types of errors can serve as stepping stones to remembering the right answer. But if the error made is a wild guess, then a person doesn’t learn the correct information as easily.In their study, researchers asked 32 young adults with no Spanish background to guess the English definition of certain Spanish words,, The Spanish words selected either resembled an English word with a similar meaning or the word looked like an English word. but meant something different.Participants were shown the Spanish words and asked to guess their meanings. Then, they were briefly shown the correct translation, before being shown another Spanish word. After repeating this process with 16 Spanish words, participants had a short break before their memory for the translations was tested. Researchers found that people were better able to think of thecorrect translations for Spanish words that were similar to the English words.They had greaterdifficulty recalling the meaning for words that looked misleading.''Based on these findings, someone studying for an exam should only take practice quizzesNafter reviewing the material, "says Dr. Anderson. "If a person takes a practice test and isunfamiliar with the content, they risk making guesses that are nowhere near the right answer.This could make it harder for them to learn the correct information later".12.
