WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) ---- About 140 pilot whales that stranded(使...搁浅) themselves on a remote stretch of New Zealand beach have died, but conservation workers and volunteers are hoping the remaining 60 or so will survive after they managed to get them refloated, an official said Saturday. The geography of Farewell Spit on the South Island seems to work against whales, which regularly become stranded there. The stranding of 198 whales on Friday was one of the largest in recent years and inspired 80 workers and volunteers to help out. By late Saturday, 140 of the whales had died, said Department of Conservation area manager Andrew Lamason. He said the workers and volunteers worked throughout the day to keep the surviving whales watered and covered before refloating them during Saturday night’s high tide. “We’ve had a really good crew of volunteers, and people have been wanting to come from all over the country,” Lamason said.He said the surviving whales had moved to deeper water. But he cautioned that although hopes for their survival were high, whales had been refloated in the past only to return and get stranded again. Lamason said the scale(规模) of the stranding has been tough on the helpers, both physically and mentally.“It’s very sad, they’re very intelligent animals,” he said. “The common view is that it’s part of nature.”The focus will now turn to the dead whales, and the enormous task of dealing with the remains, Lamason said, adding that in the past helpers have typically buried them in the sand, but that he’s not sure what the approach will be this time. He said the department had been experimenting with moving the the dead whales into the water, which has the advantage of providing food for other sea creatures.21.

Free Wi-Fi has become very important to us: many stores and shopping malls offer it, restaurants use it to attract customers, and for libraries and coffee shops it is a must-have service. Even when people are traveling, they scan for free Wi-Fi. When selecting or rating a hotel, six in ten travelers believe that unlimited Wi-Fi is the most important factor. “Today, people will never forget to pack their smart phones, tablets and laptops into the suitcase,” said the Daily Mail. “We rely on free Wi-Fi heavily when traveling—especially when it comes to checking social media, checking out travel tips, and accessing websites.” However, despite the opportunities that free Wi-Fi gives us, “our over-reliance on technology has come at a price, with travelers feeling unable to escape social media”, said Lonely Planet, the world’s largest travel guide brand. Anita Isalska, Lonely Planet editor and tech addict, was forced to unplug when in an isolated (隔绝的) camp in Greenland recently. “Adjusting to this slower pace, I began to realize that: social media had changed into a habit,” she wrote. “I had believed I was capturing(捕捉) moments, but in reality my busy fingers were preventing me enjoying travel’s deepest pleasures. How fully can you appreciate a huge glacier or wild flowers when your brain is selecting the right photo filter (滤镜) or the perfect six seconds to take photos” In September, Lonely Planet released 10 predictions for the future of global travel. One of them was that true escapes will be highly valued in future, so remote hotels will start to make their lack of the Internet into an appealing feature. Would you like to have an unplugged holiday 25. According to the passage, people nowadays tend to do the following EXCEPT  .  A. getting out of a library that has no access to the Internet B. thinking ill of a hotel without Wi-Fi  C. making travel plans via the Internet

A. give more evidence to the view mentioned B. show a different opinion on the topic C. get into another topic D. summarize the previous paragraphs 27. What has Anita Isalska realized in Greenland ? A. Travelers cannot survive without Hi-Tech. B. Taking pictures doesn’t affect appreciating nature. C. Her over-reliance on technology has come at a price.

D. Her fingers are not flexible enough to take enough pictures.28. What does “an unplugged holiday” mean in the last paragraph ?  A. A camping holiday. B A holiday in a remote hotel.

C. A holiday without Wi-Fi. D. A holiday without taking pictures.

“BANG!” the door caused a reverberation (回声). It was just standing there, with father standing on one side, and me on the other side.We were both in great anger. “Never set foot in this house again!” stormed father. With tears welling up in my eyes, I rushed out of the flat and ran along the street. The street lights were shining, causing rather sad feelings. I wandered aimlessly. A young father who held a child in his arms walked past me. I felt as if I saw my childhood from another space: happy and carefree. But now … I don’t know whether it is because I have grown up or because dad is getting old. We differ in our ways of thinking. We are just like two people coming from two different worlds. It feels like there is an iron door between us that can never be opened. I wandered the streets, without a destination in mind. My heart was frozen on this hot summer night. As I walked on, there were fewer and fewer people on the streets, until I had only the street lights to keep me company. When I finally reached the high-rise apartment block in which I lived, I saw that the light was still on. I thought to myself: “Is father waiting for me, or is he still angry with me” In fact, it was nothing. Perhaps, dad was throwing away some of his old stamps. Perhaps he thought they were useless. I never had the courage to tell him that I liked collecting stamps. All the lights were off except father’s. Dad was always like this. Maybe he didn’t know how to express himself. After shouting at me, he never showed any mercy or any moments of regret. This was how he always was. He has been a leader for so long that telling everyone else what to do has become his second nature. The light was still on. “Am I wrong” I whispered, maybe… With the key in my hand, I was as nervous as I had ever been. At last, I decided to open the door. As soon as I opened the door, tears ran down my cheeks. I suddenly realized that the iron door that I had imagined between us did not exist at all. Love----it’s second to none.29. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage ?  A. The author fully understood why he and his father had different thinking. B. The author and his father lacked communication. C. The author’s father didn’t approve of his stamp collecting. D. The author’s father opened the door for him when he came back.30. According to the author, why did his father often shout at him ?  A. Perhaps the father was getting older and older. B. Perhaps the father had been used to doing that. C. Perhaps the son had already grown up. C. Perhaps they never agreed with each other. 31. What did the author mean by the underlined sentence “My heart was frozen on this hot summer night”? A. He felt lonely because there were so few people on the street. B. He felt uncomfortable because it was a very hot night. C. He was at a loss because he had nowhere to go. D. He was completely disappointed with his father.32. What was the author’s attitude towards his father at the end of the story? A. He was frustrated with his father. B. He loved his father. C. He was afraid of his father. D. He was dissatisfied with his father

Many people have wondered what makes the oceans rise and fall on the word’s beaches twice a day. Those tides are caused by the force of the Moon’s gravity and the rotation(自转) of the Earth. Gravity acts on the center of any solid object. The Earth is mostly molten(熔化的) rock, but compared to the oceans, we can think of it as a solid object.

As you know, the oceans are fluid and lie on the surface of the Earth. When the Moon is overhead, the oceans are four thousand miles closer to the Moon than the Earth’s center is. Because the oceans are closer, the Moon pulls harder on the water than on the Earth. This stronger pull makes the water bunch up(集中) a little under the Moon, creating a high tide.

At the same time, the oceans on the opposite side of the Earth are four thousand miles farther from the Moon than the Earth’s center is. The Moon’s pull on this water is weak. This water bunches up because it is “left behind”(making another high tide) as the Earth is pulled slightly towards the Moon.

When the waters bunch up on these two sides of the Earth, they draw water away from the other sides of the Earth, which creates the low tides.

As the Earth rotates, different parts of the land and oceans pass through the high-tide and low-tide zones. And that makes the waters on our coasts go up and down.

33. According to the passage, there would be no tides if there were no ______.

A.Earth rotation

B.gravity from the Earth

C. gravity from the Moon

D. Moon’s gravity or Earth rotation

34. The moon’s pull has a weak effect on the oceans on the opposite of the Earth, .

A. so there is a low tide.

B. so the water there doesn’t bunch up

C. but it can still make a high tide.

D. because the Earth’s gravity there is greater.

35. Which of the following facts can be inferred from the passage?.

A. Low-tide zones are near to high-tide zones.

B. The oceans of the Earth are a whole body.

C. High-tide zones are separated from low-tide zones.

D.The Earth’s surface is 4000 miles away from the Moon.
