27、ted from mainland Australia by the Bass Strait. The island is a place of natural beauty and has more than 2,000 km of walking tracks and 18 national parks. If you go on a tour, youll discover a wild and beautiful place where the people are friendly and the food is delicious. If you dont like walking

28、, there are other tours you can choose from including a river cruise and cycling. You can also combine your tour with fishing, sailing or sunbathing on the beach. One of the most incredible places to walk is along the Tarkine coast which is located in the north-west of Tasmania. Its such a wild and

29、remote area that you can easily complete your walk without seeing anyone apart from the members of your group and your two guides. The area contains the largest temperate rainforest in Australia which is home to more than 50 endangered species. It is also home to many Aboriginal Heritage Sites. Your

30、 guides will provide you with plenty of information about the area as you complete that part of your tour. During your tour, youll come across rivers, mountain ranges, spectacular waterfalls, wildlife and long wild beaches. It will be an experience you wont easily forget. Tour Itinerary:Day 1: Youre

31、 picked up from your hotel in the town of Launceston and driven to the Tarkine. You then complete a three-hour walk through the forest before arriving at your camp at Mystery Creek. There you will enjoy a delicious meal cooked by your guides. Day 2: After breakfast, you continue deeper into the rain

32、forest, passing some of the tallest trees in the world as you go, and stopping for lunch and then camp in the evening. Day 3: The highlight of todays trek is the Tarkine Falls, a beautiful 15-metre waterfall. Day 4: Today you can stay at the camp and bathe in the Tarkine Falls, or you can go for a d

33、ay trek for more fantastic views of the forest. Day 5: After a last trek through the forest, you are picked up at about 4:00 p.m. and you arrive in Launceston at around 7:00 p.m. The tour includes two professional guides, transport to and from the rainforest, all food while on the tours and all safe

34、ty equipment. You should buy or hire recommended camping equipment including: backpacks, sleeping bags, sleep mats, head torches, rain coats and trousers. 56. A tourist to the island can _.A. cycle along the Tarkine coast and through the forestB. buy or hire as much camping equipment as possibleC. g

35、o for a day trek for more fantastic views on Day 5D. choose to make a sailing tour of the place for pleasure 57. From the passage we know that _.A. people will walk hours in all the five days during the tourB. many species in danger are protected in the national parksC. it takes about three hours to

36、 drive from Launceston to Tarkine D. the tour provides guides, accommodation and safety equipment BArt is visible. However, everything one sees is filtered through certain conditions, some of them historical, and others, natural. The historical conditions include the material which is used oil, colo

37、rs, and the canvas; second, a certain style. There can be a general style, for example, the style of Impressionism, or a particular style, for example, the individual ways in which two painters, both impressionists, paint. The natural conditions include certain unchanging psychological laws of sight

38、, for instance, the effects of colors or optical illusions.The conditions of art are nothing but a particular way of interpreting reality. To understand this, one can examine the difference between the classical Greek and the classical Egyptian styles. For the Greeks, the reality of the visible was

39、given by the perspective and the situation in which the object appears; for that reason they presented a person in his individual movements. For the Egyptians, however, this was only the appearance of a brief moment, which, according to their beliefs, was not real. Therefore, the Egyptians searched

40、for the permanent essence and the typical character in their depiction of an object. For the Egyptians, Greek art was an illusion; for the Greeks, on the other hand, Egyptian art was unrealistic constructivism.The way in which reality appears in art must not be regarded on its own. It is affected by

41、 many other systems of recognizing reality, including the political, religious, economic, intellectual, and social in short, all the phenomena of human life. Moreover, art is always of a certain epoch (纪元), with its particular conception of reality. Thus, when discussing, for example, the art of anc

42、ient myth, of medieval Christianity, or that of the technological age, one must be aware that myth, Christianity, or technology was the most outstanding feature of the epoch.It is paradoxical (似是而非的) to understand art as some kind of copy of the fields of experience connected with it. So, for exampl

43、e, it is meaningless for the work of art to be compared with the landscape, which served the artist as his model. Even if the artist had tried to make what he painted as similar as possible to the model he used, the landscape which he saw is only the matter from which something completely different

44、emerges since he has submitted his view to the conditions of art: namely to the material used (colors, canvas, etc.), to his style, and even to the fact that he paints on a flat surface. Thus one must contemplate (注视) a work of art by itself. Even if it is connected to other fields of experience it

45、nevertheless displays something unique which appears in that piece of art and there alone.58. What is mentioned as one of the conditions through which art is seen?A. Impressionism. B. Optical illusions.C. Nature. D. Perspective.59. Why did the Egyptians search for the permanent essence of an object?

46、A. Egyptian art was thought to be unrealistic constructivism.B. They should present a person in his individual movements.C. The reality of the visible was only the presence of an instant.D. The appearance of the object features largely in the reality.60. What can we infer after reading the passage?A

47、. The conditions of art are more than a particular way of interpreting reality.B. The way in which reality appears in art should be regarded only on its own.C. Myth, Christianity, or technology was under the influence of a unique style.D. Works of art were usually produced in response to certain int

48、erpretations.CA new study revealed that the formation of the Earth, Sun and Moon that cause changes in Earths tides can also trigger a special kind of Earthquake along the Californias San Andreas Fault （断层）.The study, published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Science, is based

49、on previous researcher suggesting that the gravitational tug of sun and moon is not only affecting the sea levels of Earth, but can also stretch and compress that Earths crust, producing tremors and quakes. Furthermore, the new study showed that small tremors deep underground were more likely to occ

50、ur during certain periods of the tidal cycle.For the study, the researchers looked at about 81,000 low-frequency earthquakes from 2008 to 2015 along the Parkfield section of the San Andreas Fault and compared it to the two-week tidal cycle known as the “fortnightly tide.” Low-frequency earthquakes a

51、re named due to the rumbling sound they make and not by the rate of its occurrence. These kinds of earthquake only occur about 15 to 30 kilometers below ground and are no larger than magnitude 1 in the Richter scale.The researchers discovered that low-frequency earthquakes tend to occur during the w

52、axing period of the tidal cycle, when the tides are getting little by little. It is already known that the strongest Earth tides occur when the sun and moon are in a straight line, while the tide is at its weakest state when the sun and moon are 90 degrees apart.According to the researchers, low-fre

53、quency earthquakes show that some part of the San Andreas Fault is creeping, or slowly moving, almost all the time. With the help of the tidal forces, low-frequency earthquakes could provide more information about the deeper part of the fault.“They tell us that the fault continues down below where t

54、he regular or typical earthquakes stop on the San Andreas, about 10 or 12 km (about 6 to 7 miles),” said David Shelly, a seismologist at USGS and helped write the study, in a statement. “And they tell us a lot of things about that deep part of the fault that we had no idea existed at all before.”“It

55、s almost like having a lot of little creep meters embedded in the fault,” Shelly said. “We can use these low-frequency earthquakes as measurements of, at least in a relative sense, how much slip is happening at each little spot on the deep part of the fault where we see these events. When we dont se

56、e them, we dont know whats happening; we dont know whether its slipping silently or not slipping at all.”The information is incredibly useful, he added. Whenever the deep part of the fault slips, the stress gets transferred to the shallow part of the fault.“So if all of a sudden, we saw that the deep
