water activities kayaking snorkeling and diving amid exotic coral and fish species And there are even fans of the Philippines food scene The cuisine is a mix of Spanish and Chinese spiced with Malay and Indian influences Carne Beach England The rocky Cornish coast gives way to beaches and one of the broadest and most beautiful is Carne on Gerrans Bay Residents of the nearby villages swim walk their dogs and play beach volleyball and cricket along its sandy surface One perfect way to enjoy Carne Beach is to drop by or stay at the charming country house The Nare Hotel It offers sweeping

Nare Hotel 23 What is most special at Panama City Beach A The sand B The sea water C The accommodations D The park with sea animals B The idea of being able to walk on water has long interested humans greatly Sadly biological facts prevent us ever accomplishing such a thing without artificial aid we simply weigh too much and all our weight pushes down through our relatively small feet resulting in a lot of pressure that makes us sink However several types of animals can walk on water One of the most interesting is a kind of lizard 蜥蜴 native to Central and South America It can run across water for a distance of several meters avoiding getting wet by rapidly hitting the water s surface with its feet The lizard will take as many as 20 steps per second to keep moving forward For humans to do this we d need huge feet that we could bring up to our ears in order to create adequate hitting But fortunately there is an alternative cornflour By adding enough of this common thickening agent to water and it does take a lot you can create a non Newtonian liquid that doesn t behave like normal water Now if the surface of the water is hit hard enough particles 微 粒 in the water group together for a moment to make the surface hard Move quickly enough and put enough force into each step and you really can walk across the surface of an adequately thick liquid of cornflour Fun though all this may sound it s still rather messy and better mad about in theory than carried out in practice if you must do it then keep the water wings handy in case you start to sink and take a shower afterward 24 Walking on water hasn t become a reality mainly because humans A are not interested in it B have biological limitations C have not invented proper tools D are afraid to make an attempt 25 Why can the lizard walk on water A It has huge feet B It s light enough C It has unique skin D It can run very fast 26 What is the function of the cornflour according to the text A To create a thick liquid B To turn the water into solid C To help the liquid behave normally D To enable the water to move rapidly 27 What does the author think of the idea of humans walking on water A It s risky but beneficial B It s interesting and worth trying C It s crazy and cannot become a reality D It s impractical though theoretically possible C No matter how much they ve travelled even the most seasoned tourist still makes some dumb mistake One netizen posted in Reddit What s the dumbest thing you ve done while traveling One of the quickest to comment was Karenet from Ottawa who said Locked myself in the bathroom of ferry cabin between Bari and Greece Luckily it was only for about 10 minutes but I was really worried I would be stuck for the entire 15 hours After I escaped I determined to share my four bed cabin with two Americans who only paid for a seat I did it to be nice but mostly so they could save me if I got stuck again Another wrote I had a room in Slovenia where you walked in There was a hall and then a second door to the room As I was walking into the room a bee flew at me I screamed turned and ran shut the door and locked myself in the room with the bee who had followed me After revealing he had been chased by an ostrich 鸵鸟 around a lakeside viewing platform in Patagonia Samwoolfe1 revealed how he found himself lost and alone in Mexico when he got on the wrong bus in Mexico due to a language barrier Standing out as a tourist Johnny Garisch from South Africa made an obvious mistake He wrote I paid 50 to get two bags wrapped in plastic at Kenneth Kaunda International

journey D The unforgettable experiment D A technology company is developing a lie detector app for smartphones that could be used by parents teachers and internet daters The app measures blood flow in the face to assess whether or not you are telling the truth Its developers say that it could be used for daters wanting to see if somebody really is interested in them Parents could use it on their children to see if they are lying and teachers could work out which of their pupils are truthful The app is being developed by Toronto startup NuraLogix and the software is called Transdermal Optical Imaging The idea is that different human emotions create different facial blood flow patterns that we have no control over These patterns change if we are telling the truth or telling a lie Using footage from the smartphone camera the software will see the changes in skin colour and compare them to standardized results A study found that anger was associated with more blood flow and redness while sadness was associated with less of both Kang Lee who has been researching the field for 20 years said that the lie detector test will let you find out the truth non invasively and remotely and sometimes it can be covertly He said It could be very useful for example for teachers A lot of our students have math anxiety but they do not want to tell us because that s embarrassing Lee added that the technology would not replace lie detectors used in a court of law He said They want the accuracy to be extremely high like genetic tests so a one in a million error rate Our technique won t be able to achieve an extremely high accuracy level so because of that I don t think it s useful for the courts He added that it will be a few years before the dating app is available to consumers 32 How

Paragraph 5 A The app is reliable B Our motions are colorful C The idea of the app is interesting D People have different facial blood patterns 34 To whom can the app apply A A user of the latest iphone B A person in a job interview C A consumer buying something D A student working at a math problem 35 What can we learn about the app A It works as a lie detector B It needs time to be put to use C It matches genetic tests in accuracy D It proves to be useful for the courts 第二节 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 How to Improve Your Reading Comprehension Are
