In no particular order, check out our picks for where to travel this summer:Salar de Uyuni, BoliviaThe Salar de Uyuni, or Uyuni Salt Flat, is a vast expanse near the Bolivian Andes that resembles ice. The surreal landscape is actually leftover salt from ancient lakes. A large lounge dome offers a public space with tables, floor cushions and hanging lanterns.Foodis provided by Gustu in La Paz, considered one of Latin Americas top restaurants. Beyond simply enjoying the food and scenery, guests can hike to the crater of Tunupa Volcano, mountain bike across the Salar or visit the village of Jirira. Come nightfall, on-site telescopes take full advantage of the star-flooded sky.Las VegasTheres thePark Theater,where up to 5,200 people can enjoy A-list artist residencies: Lady Gaga is currently in residence until November, with Janet Jackson and Cher starting this summer. For good measure, Bruno Mars will also be performing some dates in September. Daniel Humm and Will Guidara, perhaps best known forNYCs Eleven Madison Park restaurant, are behind the NoMad Restaurant and NoMad Bar. And foodies will no doubt want to experience Roy ChoisBest Friend, the first brick-and-mortar restaurant following his hugely successful Korean BBQ truck.Nova ScotiaNova Scotia often gets overlooked for popular provinces like British Columbia and Quebec, but its quiet charms are worth exploring. Cape Breton Island takes a bit of work to reach, but its here that youll find challenging hiking trails, a scenic driving route minus the traffic and real-deal Celtic culture. The Halifax Jazz Festival, held in the provinces capital, is considered Nova Scotias largest music festival, and goes down from July 9-14 on the waterfront.Grand CanyonIts theGrand Canyons 100th anniversaryas a national park, and there are multipleways to celebratethis notable occasion.

Telescopes will be on hand to find planets (Jupiter and Saturn among them), star clusters and nebulae. There will also be slide show programs with a different focus each night, from protecting dark skies to learning how planets form. Constellation talks and night sky photography workshops are among the free offerings, just allow yourself enough time since you wont be the only one with this idea.21.

South Africa23. If you are an Astronomy fans, which two places will be the best choice?A. Salar de Uyuni and Las VegasB. Salar de Uyuni and Grand CanyonC. Las Vegas and Nova ScotiaD. Las Vegas and Grand CanyonBMost people agree that being a good driver means being safe and not aggressive on the road. One debate some people still argue, however, is who drives better: men or women? Although its impossible to say that one gender drives better than another definitively, there are some noteworthy trends.Male drivers tend to have more accidentsData from theInsurance Institute for Highway Safety(IIHS) shows that male drivers tend to have more total accidents than females. The IIHS, an independent non-profit devoted to reducing car accidents, also found that 71 percent of all motor vehicle crash deaths in 2017 were males. Although the gap has narrowed, almost every year from 1975 to 2017, the number of male crash deaths was more than twice the number of female crash deaths, per the IIHS.Women might be less-confident behind the wheelAlthough male drivers have more accidents, other research shows women arent “perfect” drivers, either.Researchersfrom the University of Michigans Transportation Research Institute studied traffic accidents over 20 years and found that female drivers are more likely to run into a car driven by another woman than a man. The study, however, doesnt explain possible reasons for this pattern.One that they might consider testing in the future is that some research also shows women are less-confident behind the wheel than men. Astudyfrom UCLA exploring the relationship between new drivers skills and different variables, including gender（性别）, shows female students were less confident drivers than men.So are men better drivers than women?Gender is just one factor when it comes to safe driving, along with others such as age, and even the time of day people drive. Onestudyshows that both genders have a greater accident risk when driving at night, but males still have a higher risk at all times of the day. Driving quality also changes based on location, too, as some states are more dangerous than others. Data from theNational Highway Traffic Safety Administrationshows that Wyoming, Mississippi, and Montana have high accident death rates, without regards to gender. It goes to show that everyone should learn and practice safe driving habits instead of worrying about who drives better.24. According to the data from the IIHS, what is the percentage of males among car accident victims before 2017?A. Bigger than 71%B. Smaller than 71%C. Exactly 71%D. Not clear.25. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. In recent years, the number of car accidents caused by males is twice as much as that that by females.B. Researchers have found out why theres higher possibility for women drivers to run into each other.C. While driving in the daytime, male drivers have a greater accident risk than female drivers.D. Many studies have shown that females are better and safer drivers than males.26. What does the underlined word variables in Paragraph 4 possibly mean?A. factorsB. varietiesC. phenomenaD. consequences27. From which column of a newspaper is the passage probably taken?A. ScienceB. NewsC. CultureD. TrafficCSix months after a Chinese scientist was widely condemned for helping to make the worlds first gene-edited babies, he remains out of public view, and new information suggests that others may be interested in undertaking the same kind of work outside the United States.A clinic in the United Arab Emirates city of Dubai emailed scientist He Jiankui to seek training in gene editing, Stanford University bioethicist Dr. William Hurlbut said ahead of a speech Tuesday at the World Science Festival in New York.Hurlbut, whose advice He often sought, said He told him that scientists from multiple countries and families with inheritedhealthproblems had messaged support and interest in altering the genes of embryos（胚胎）to prevent or treat disease. Hurlbut gave The Associated Press the email the Dubai clinic sent to He in December but decided to hide the clinics name.It reveals what eagerness there is out there to use this technology and the need for some sort of practical governance of it, Hurlbut said.Jennifer Doudna, a University of California, Berkeley, co-inventor of the CRISPR gene-editing tool that He used, said that she also has heard of others who want to edit embryos.I think theyre entirely credible, she said of such reports. Doudna, who was also a speaker at the New York festival, said the field needs to focus on setting specific principles for how and when such work should proceed.The technology is frankly just not ready for clinical use in human embryos, although research should continue, she said. Doudna is paid by the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, which also supports APs Health and Science Department.Scientists and policy leaders have been debating how to set international standards or controls since He claimed in November that he had altered the genes of twin girls at conception（怀孕）to try to help them resist possible future infection with the AIDS virus.Editing embryos is outlawed in many countries because it risks damaging other genes, and the DNA changes can be passed to future generations. Many scientists have condemned Hes work, and attention has fallen on other scientists who knew or strongly suspected what He was doing.28. What is the email the Dubai clinic sent to He Jiankui probably about?A. Expectation of gene editing training.B. Inherited health problems.C. Eagerness to use the technology.D. Practical governance in need.29. Why does Doudna think that there is need to put governance on gene-editing?A. Because there is decreasing eagerness to use the technology of altering the genes of embryos.B. Because the clinic use of the technology in human embryos is still in inadequate preparation.C. Because the evidence showing peoples need of the technology is just completely unbelievable.D. Because some scientists or doctors may use the technology with the aim of making profits.30. What can we infer from the passage?A. He Jiankui used to held consultations with Hurlbut on gene editing.B. Its still illegal to edit the genes of embryos in many countries.C. How to set international standards or controls over gene-editing is still in heated debate.D. Doudna assisted He Jiankui by providing a tool to alter the genes of twin girls at conception.31. Which of the following can be the best title of this passage?A. He Opens a New Age in GeneticsB. The First Gene-edited Babies in the WorldC. A New Method of Preventing diseasesD. Gene-edited Babies Debate ContinuesDThe McDonnells lived in a small brick house in Larchmont, a suburb of New York City. Jim was foreman of mail carriers at the post office where he had worked for 25 years. Married in 1960, he and Anne were childless.On the evening of the eleventh anniversary of their marriage, carrying out the garbage, Jim McDonnell slipped on ice-coated steps, and struck his head. A few days later, driving to work, he lost control of the car, hit a telephone pole, and banged his forehead against the windshield. The following day he fell off the stairs, and again he banged his head. Found unconscious, he was hospitalized for three days with a cerebral concussion（脑震荡）. One day in the same month, Jim borrowed a friends station wagon and drove to Kennedy Airport to pick up Annes brother and family. When he returned the borrowed car at 10 p.m., he was unaware that the wallet containing his identification had slipped out of his pocket onto the floor of the station wagon. After that, he was never seen again.So what really happened to Annes husband? During his walk home, Jim had indeed blacked out（昏厥）, losing all ability to remember who he was and where he lived. What happened then is unclear. The next thing he knew was that he was in downtown Philadelphia, a city he had never visited before. Seeing signs advertising the services of a James Peters, a real estate broker, Jim adopted James Peters as his own name. He had no past; his only reality was the present. James Peters got a Social Security card, which could be obtained at that time without showing a birth certificate, and took a job in a health club. He next worked at a cancer research institute, cleaning out animal cages. He also got a nightshift job at the P&P luncheonette, where he became well known for his omelets, as well as his courtesy and good humor.About a month before Christmas 1985, colleagues noticed that Jim had grown unusually quiet and depressed. Something seemed to be turning in his mind. On December 22, Jim had fallen and banged his head. The next day at work he seemed distracted, and late that afternoon he had fallen again, striking his head. On December 24, he awoke feeling confused, yet delighted. After almost 15 years, he knew who he was! He was James A. McDonnell, Jr., of Larchmont, New York. His wifes name was Anne.Anne had just returned home from Christmas Mass, where she lit candles and prayed for Jim. A light snow was falling, and she was in a hurry to leave for Christmas dinner at her sisters before the roads grew slick. Then the doorbell rang.Oh my, she thought,this is not a good time for a visitor. Anne opened the door and saw a man with a full white beard. Immediately she recognized Jim. She couldnt speak.To Jim, Anne looked a little older, but prettier too. His heart overflowed.“Hello, Anne,” he said.32. In which year did James A. McDonnell get missing?A. 1960B. 1965C. 1971D. 198533. Which CANNOT explain the sentence He had no past in Paragraph 3?A. He had no Social Security Card before he got lost.B. He lost his memory after his blacking out.C. He lost his wallet containing his identification.D. He went to a completely strange city.34. How did Jim feel on seeing his wife, Anne, 15 years later?A. scaredB. funnyC. movedD. anxious35. What would be the best sentence following the last sentence of this passage?A. Jim, her breath came in bursts, Is it true?B. Yes, she seemed puzzled, And you are looking forC. Well, Jim, her voice in delight, Long time.D. Come on in, said Anne, Im expecting you. 七选五阅读（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。It should come as no surprise that the more stressed parents are at work, the greater the burden on their family is. 36 . After all, the more time parents spend working, the less time and energy they have to plan and prepare healthful meals. Previously, most studies have focused on the role of working mothers while fathers were ignored. 37 . It adds a new wrinkle to the relationship between work stress and family nutrition. Moms work related stress is still a central factor in how well families eat because they typically do most of the food shopping and cooking. 38 .The study finds that when mom or dad experience high levels of work related stress, their families are eating one-and-a-half fewer family meals per week, and the parents themselves report eating fewer fruits and vegetables, more fast food, and are less likely to eat breakfast regularly.Its worth noting that the study looks mainly at low income families who belong to ethnic or minority groups. 39 . But the implications are wide-ranging. 40 . Teaching kids, especially teenagers, to help with grocery shopping and to cook actual meals, instead of just putting a frozen pizza in the microwave, could be an important piece of the puzzle in helping families improve their eating habits.A. But dads work related stress has a large impact, too.B. As to family nutrition, the entire family plays a role, even kids.C. Yet, the kids stress may affect the families nutrition, too.D. So the findings dont necessarily apply directly to other types of families.E. Its also probably not a surprise that this can negatively affect a familys nutrition.F. Now, a study looks at the family as a whole and at the role of fathers
