Group rates are available for parties of 15 or more and there are various catering options, including sit-down meals at the restaurant at the heart of the zoo.ZSL Whipsnade ZooUntil September 2022, it is offering groups of up to 60 the opportunity to experience a private Nature Night, on which they’ll get to explore the zoo privately after the public has left, take part in activities like quizzes, camp overnight, and get up early for a private tour along the green trail before it reopens to the public again.West Midland Safari ParkThe latest attraction at the park is the new African Walking Trail. Opened in May, the trail features three viewpoints that allow visitors to see the park’s African animals on foot. There’s also a four-mile drive-through safari area with red panda, penguin and lorikeet areas. Groups of ten plus, arriving in the same vehicle, can save more than 40%.Knowsley Safari ParkThe five-mile safari drive through the site takes you past free roaming lions, rhinos and more than 100 cheeky baboons.

The 30-year-old owner of Gashora Farm knows what a difference that makes.“You need more role models,” he said, standing among knee-high rows of chilli (辣椒) plants. “If you have young farmers, they have land and they drive to the farm, others may think, ‘Why can’t I do that?’”Mr. Twahirwa, a university graduate, bought a friend’s tomato farm six years ago for $ 150. He made $ 1, 500 back in two months. “You have to link farming with entrepreneurship and real numbers,” he said.Many young Africans are abandoning areas in the countryside, choosing not to work hard and for a long time in fields — a job made tougher by climate change.But Twahirwa is one of the growing band of successful farmers working to make agriculture’s image on the continent more attractive. Some 1, 000 farmers now produce chillies for him. He is starting a fourth farm of his own, and exports fresh and dried chillies and oil to Britain, the United States, India and Kenya.Africa has the world’s youngest population and 65 percent uncultivated arable land (耕地后备资源).Yet accessing land and loans is difficult, and African productivity is low with crop yields just 56 percent of the international average.“Agriculture is mainly associated with suffering and no young person wants to suffer,” said Tamara Kaunda. She believes African agriculture needs a change to get rid of its old-fashioned image of very hard and tiring work with a hoe. “Show young people with tractors, green fields, nice irrigation systems smartphones,” she said.Getting young people involved in agriculture does not mean they have to work on a farm. For example, in coffee production, the beans go from the farm to the washing station , then to be separated from the husks (外壳).14．What does “Why can’t I do that?” in Paragraph 2 mean?B．Why can’t they farm?C．They follow the example of those farmers.D．They bought a friend’s tomato farm.15．What makes it harder for farmers to work?A．Poor land.B．Climate.C．Low income.D．Long working hours.16．What can we learn about Twahirwa according to Paragraph 5 ?A．He made a fortune by growing chillies.B．His chillies are try growing chillies.C．Farmers working for him live a simple life.D．The locals aren't willing to buy his chillies.17．When it comes to agriculture in Africa, what do people think about it?A．Loans are difficult.B．Most land is uncultivated.C．Crop yields are rather lowD．Farming methods are out of dateAt the foot of an Icelandic volcano, a newly-opened plant is taking CO₂ from the air and turning it to rock. This technology is known as “direct air capture(捕捉)” or DAC．It’s a bit like “mining” the sky for CO₂—simple in principle, but very difficult to carry out.To do this, you need the right geography conditions. That is why Climeworks, a Swiss company, built the Orca plant in Iceland. There, fans draw air into big black containers where the filter(过滤器) catches CO₂. Once the filter is full, it is heated to around 100₂ to separate CO₂ with sufficient energy from volcanic activity. Next, the collected CO₂ is combined with water and pumped deep underground into rock formations. Within a few years, the CO₂ will turn into stone.However, exciting and promising as this technology is, it won’t save us from climate change on its own. While Orca, the largest plant of its kind in the world, can capture up to 4,000 tons of CO₂ per year, the yearly global emissions(排放) are around 33.4 billion tons ofexpensive and requires large amounts of energy.Daniel Egger, the chief commercial officer at Climeworks, said that while his company is at an “industrial level”, it is not where it needs to be to make a difference in fighting climate change. But we have to learn to walk before we can run.Carbon storage(碳储存) is just arising as a technology. It won’t help us fix climate change yet, but it can be important down the line, if we have the right conditions for it. 18．What can we learn about DAC according to the text?A．It is the best way to fix climate change at present.B．It requires enough heat and energy to operate.C．It is highly developed in removing CO₂.D．It can be applied anywhere in the world.19．Why are some data used in paragraph 3?A．To indicate the bright future of the technology.B．To provide the research results for the readers.C．To show the challenges DAC faces at present.D．To call for more plants like Orca to be set up.20．What is the author’s attitude towards the technology?A．Unclear.B．Uninterested.C．Doubtful.D．Hopeful.21．From which is the text probably taken?A．A science report.B．A company leaflet.C．A chemistry textbook.D．A social web page.Mirroring body language is a way to bond and to build understanding. It is a powerful tool that we use without even knowing it.The most obvious forms of mirroring are yawning and smiling. When you see someone yawn, you are likely to yawn immediately. Smiling is also pretty contagious—seeing aMirroring body language is a nonverbal way to say “I am like you or I feel the same”. Research shows that people who experience the same feelings are likely to trust, understand and accept each other. Women have the natural ability to pick up and understand body signals. Therefore, it is not surprising that a woman is more likely to mirror another woman than a man is to mirror another man.That’s why women are regarded as better talkers, even if they might not really have more close friends.Mirroring body language is an excellent way to build trust and understanding quickly. If you want to set up a connection with others, mirror their gestures, sitting position, tone of voice and talking pace. This will make them feel that there is something about you that they like.While mirroring body language gains you acceptance, you still need to take into consideration your relationship with the person you are mirroring. If you are in a lower social position and are mirroring the body language of your boss, he will view you as rude. However, if you want to defeat those who are trying to prove superior to you, mirroring their body language will help defeat them and change their position.22．What does the underlined word “contagious” in paragraph 2 mean?A．Affecting each other.B．Showing one’s feelings.C．Attractive to the others.D．Gentle to people around.23．What can we know about women from the research?A．They don’t like mirroring others.B．They tend to have more close friends.C．They are naturally gifted in building trust.D．They are good at interpreting body language.24．What is the author’s attitude to the behavior of mirroring the boss?A．Indifferent.B．Curious.C．Doubtful.D．Disapproving. 25．What is the best title for the text?A．The Common Forms of MirroringB．The Excellent Method of MirroringC．Mirroring Body Language:A Useful ToolD．Nonverbal Communication:A Special BondMuch of the work in today’s world is accomplished(完成) in teams. Most people believeCompanies spend millions hiring top business people. Is their money well spent?27 They focused on football, basketball and baseball. The results are mixed. For football and basketball, adding talented players to a team proves a good method, but only up to the point where 70% of the players are top talent; above that level, the team’s performance begins to decline. Interestingly, this trend isn’t evident in baseball, where additional individual talent keeps improving the team’s performance.To explain this phenomenon, the researchers explored the degree to which a good performance by a team requires its members to coordinate(协调) their actions. 28 In baseball, the performance of individual players is less dependent on teammates. They conclude that when task interdependence is high, team performance will suffer when there is too much talent, while individual talent will have positive effects on team performance when task interdependence is lower. If a basketball star is, for example, trying to gain a high personal point total, he may take a shot himself when it would be better to pass the ball to a teammate, affecting the team’s performance. Young children learning to play team sports are often told, “There is no I in TEAM.” 29Another possibility is that when there is a lot of talent on a team, some players may make less effort. Just as in a game of tug-of-war(拔河比赛), whenever a person is added, everyone else pulls the rope with less force.30 An A-team may require a balance--not just A players, but a few generous B players as well.A．It’s not a simple matter to determine the nature of talent.B．Sports team owners spend millions of dollars attracting top talent.C．The group interaction and its effect drew the researchers’ attention.D．Stars apparently do not follow this basic principle of sportsmanship.E．Several recent studies examined the role of talent in the sports world.F．Building up a dream team is more complex than simply hiring the best talent.G．This task interdependence distinguishes baseball from football and basketball.William ThomsonWilliam Thomson was born on 26 June, 1824 in Belfast. He was taught by his father, a professor of mathematics. In 1832, the family moved to Glasgow where Thomson attended university at the age of 10, then studied at Cambridge and Paris Universities. In 1846 he became professor of natural philosophy in Glasgow, a post he 31 for more than 50 years.In Glasgow, Thomson 32 the first physics laboratory in Britain. He was a pioneer in many different 33 , particularly electromagnetism (电磁学) and thermodynamics (热力学). 34 Faraday(法拉第), he was responsible for the introduction of the 35 of an electromagnetic field where Thomson developed the work of the 36 of the subject, Nicolas Carnot and James Joule. One of the most 37 results of his work was his idea of an absolute zero of temperature — the scale based on this is named 38 him.Throughout his work Thomson’s main goal was the practical use of science. He achieved39 through his work on submarine telegraphy, a major practical problem of the day. He was40 as a scientific adviser in the laying of the Atlantic telegraph cables in 1857-1858 and 1865-1866,for which he was knighted in 1866. His 41 in marine issues also inspired him to develop a mariners’ compass and 42 a tide machine and depth-measuring equipment. He invented many electrical instruments and his house in Glasgow was the first to be 43 by electric light.Thomson was raised to the noblemen with the 44 of Baron Kelvin of Largs in 1892. The Kelvin was a small river that flowed near Glasgow University and he was president of the royal Society from 1890 to 1895.

Most of them settled (定居) on the northeast coast. In 1587, a small group of about 100 people decided to go south. They moved to the small island of Roanoke. That area later became part of the state of North Carolina.Unfortunately, the Roanoke settlers weren’t well prepared. They didn’t have enough food for the winter, and there w asn’t enough grain for future crops. Their leader, Captain White, de cided to sail back to England to get supplies. However, there was a war in Europe, and three years passed before he returned to North America.When Captain White came back to Roanoke in 1590, he was eager to see the settlers. He looked out from his ship, but no one was there to meet him. There were no signs of life. The settlement was empty.No one knows why the Roanoke settlers disappeared. Many people thought that hostile Native Americans killed them, but there were no signs of a fight. Some thought that the settlers died from hunger or disease, but they couldn’t explain the absence of bodies.Many years later, more settlers came to North Carolina. One of them met a Native American group called the Lumbee. They were unusual looking compared to the black-haired, brown-eyed Native Americans in the north. Some Lumbee had blonde hair and gray eyes. Then he listened to their speech and almost fell off his horse. They seemed to speak an unusual kind of English.He asked where they were from. None of them knew, but they said that their grandparents “talked from a book.” Did they mean that their grandparents were able to read? As he rode back home, he asked himself a question: Were the Lumbee people the descendants(后裔)of the Roanoke settlers?People are still asking the same question. Because there are no written records, we can’t be certain. However, there is one interesting fact. Today, some of the Lumbee people have names like Sampson, Dare, and Cooper. They are the same as the names of the vanished settlers of Roanoke Island.26. Captain White returned to Roanoke after three years because ______________.A. there was a war in Europe.B. they didn’t have enough food.C. there were no signs of life in the settlement.D. the area became part of the state of North Carolina.27. According to the following signs EXCEPT _______, the Lumbee may be the descendants of theRoanoke settlers.A. They had the same names as the disappeared settlersB. They seemed to speak an unusual kind of English.C. Their grandparents might be able to read.D. They had black hair and brown eyes.28. What does the underlined word hostile in paragraph 4 mean?A. braveB. strongC. unfriendlyD. unlucky29. According to the fifth paragraph, why did one of the settlers almost fall off his horse?A. Because some Lumbee’s looking was so unusual that it frightened him.B. Because some Lumbee spoke an unusual English just like the disappeared settlers.C. Because some Lumbee’s English was so unusual that he couldn’t understand them.D. Because the Lumbee told him that they were the descendants of the Roanoke settlers.30. What’s the best title of the passage?A. The brave EuropeansB. The unusual LumbeeC. The disappeared settlersD. The small island of RoanokeBEating food is enjoyable, but cooking can be challenging. For those who don’t have basic cooking skills, or are too busy working or traveling, one thing can save them-- instant noodles.This year marks the 61st anniversary of the invention of instant noodles. Ever since they were created by Japanese businessman Momofuku Ando in 1958, instant noodles have been popular around the world. In China, the product has almost become a necessity for those who travel by train.There are some fun facts about instant noodles: The total length of the noodles in one package is 51 meters. The first instant noodles were considered a luxury product. When they first came to Japanese supermarkets in 1958, they were 6 times the cost of fresh udon noodles. Japanese people even voted instant noodles as one of their best inventions of the 20th century.For instant noodles, as well as many other “instant” foods, convenience is the key selling point. They are supposed to make our lives easier._______________. For example, in wars, soldiers eat compressed biscuits and canned meat because they don’t need to cook these foods. And in the 1960s, frozen di nners of fried chicken, mashed potatoes and mixed vegetables became popular in the US. This is because more women started working and had no time to cook.In recent years, however, online meal-ordering services have brought challenge to instant foods. Uber Eats is a popular app of this kind in the United States. In China, we have Ele.me，Dianping and Meituan. These services offer not only convenience, but also more choices and tastier food. According to the World Instant Noodle Association, instant noodle sales dropped by 17 percent in China as of 2016.This might show that Chinese people are now more interested in having higher-quality diets and not just simply filling their bellies, experts say.31. Which country did instant noodles start from?A. the UKB. the USC. ChinaD. Japan32. Which of the following is NOT the fun fact of instant noodles?A. The total length of the noodles in one package is 51 meters.B. The usage of online-ordering services reduces the sales of instant noodles.C. The first instant noodles were much more expensive than fresh udon noodles.D. Japanese people even voted instant noodles as one of the best inventions of the 20th century.33. If you need to help your parents order food online in G uangzhou, which app can’t you choose?A. Uber EatsB. Ele.meC. MeituanD. Dianping34. Which sentence can be put in the beginning of the fifth paragraph?A. Food trend often reflects changes in society.B. Different country has different kinds of instant food.C. The development of instant food changes the society.D. More and more people were interested in instant noodles.35. What can we infer from the passage?A. Everyone who travels by train takes instant noodles in China.B. In 2016, only 17% of Chinese people bought instant noodles.C. Many American women didn’t like cooking food in the 1960s.D. Chinese people are interested in having higher-quality diets now.CWe have found plastic in the ocean and in animals like birds, fish and whales. But for the first time, scientists have found plastic in human poop(粪便), USA Today reported.The finding came from a study led by scientists from Environment Agency in Austria. The researchers followed eight healthy volunteers from different parts of the world. The volunteers wrote down what they ate for a week and then provided a poop sample for testing.Scientists found nine different types of plastic in the samples, according to the study. An average of 20 small plastic particles(颗粒) were found in every 10 grams of poop. The particles measured between 50 to 500 micrometers."The smallest plastic particles are able to enter the bloodstream, the lymphatic system(淋巴系统), and may even reach the liver(肝脏)," Philipp Schwabl, who took part in the research, said to the Guardian.However, the scientists aren't sure if this plastic is harmful to humans. They're not sure how the plastic got in the volunteers' bodies, either. But most of the volunteers said they drank from plastic bottles and also ate seafood that could include plastic from ocean pollution.In fact, plastic is everywhere around us. Every year, an average of 8 million tons of plastic waste goes into the oceans, according to National Geographic. There, sunlight and waves break the plastic items down to the size of grains of rice. Most of the particles stay in the ocean. Others can spread into the soil and air. Could plastic in the air fall onto food and get into the human body?Previous studies may also give us a clue. According to USA Today, 90 percent of sea salt sold globally contains plastic. And even some tap water has been found to have tiny plastic particles in it.36. According to USA Today, what was recently discovered?A. Plastic pollution is worse than ever.B. Sea Salt is not safe to eat anymore.C. Plastic has been found in human poop.D. Animals like birds or fish may eat plastic.37. What do we know about the study from Environment Agency?A. The volunteers kept a record of what they ate for a week.B. It proved that ocean pollution has become rather serious.C. Scientists from the USA followed eight healthy volunteers.D. Nine plastic particles were found in the volunteers’ poop samples.38. Paragraph 4 is written to tell us that ______________.A. plastic can harm the lymphatic system.B. plastic particles can be a few different sizes.C. pla stic particles can exist in everyone’s body.D. plastic particles can reach many parts of our bodies.39. What can we infer from the story?A. Plastic does no harm to our bodies.B. People should stop drinking tap water.C. It can be hard to avoid plastic in food and drinks.D. The best way to deal with plastic waste is to burn it.40. What’s the purpose of this passage?A. To ask people to eat healthy food.B. To ask people to reduce using plastic.C. To ask people not to throw plastic bags into the sea.D. To ask people to keep the animals away from plastic.D41.
