and dancing is an essential part of many cultures around the world and has been so for centuries.Worldwide,various dance forms have evolved over the years and some have crossed their regional boundaries and gained admirers globally.Here we present some of the most famous dance styles in the world.Ballet,Russia No dance form can approach gracefulness as closely as the Russian ballet.It is an artistic dance form that is performed to music.The steps of Russian ballet demand high levels of precision and formality.The classical ballet dance form which originated in Renaissance Italy was introduced to Russia during the rule of Peter the Great and since then became an integral part of Russian society.Flamenco,Spain Flamenco is a globally famous dance form that originated in Spain.The dance is accompanied by guitar playing,singing,finger snapping,and handclapping.Flamenco is closely linked to the Romani people in Spain,and its style is distinctly Andalusian.The art form is currently taught in many countries worldwide but is most popular in the US and Japan.In the latter country,Flamenco schools outnumber those in Spain.Tango,Argentina Tango is a partner dance that is associated with style and expressiveness.In the 1880s,the dance form originated along the River Plate which is the natural border between Uruguay and Argentina.Many different styles of tango exist today and international tango dancing competitions are held each year signifying the popularity of this dance.Samba,Brazil Samba is synonymous(同义的)with the famous Carnival of Brazil.It is a Brazilian dance style and music genre with roots in Africa and arrived in Latin America via the African slaves who arrived in Latin America with-4-their European masters.Samba is associated with rhythm and brightly colored costumes and is considered as an integral part of the Brazilian culture.21.Which dance form is believed to be the most graceful?A.Tango.B.Ballet.C.Samba.D.Flamenco.22.What is the main feature of Tango?A.High levels of precision and formality.B.Being accompanied by finger snapping and hand clapping.C.Rhythm and brightly colored costumes.D.Style and expressiveness.23.Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A.Ballet originated in Russia during the rule of Peter the Great.B.Spain has more Flamenco schools than Japan.C.Samba was brought to Brazil by European masters D.AII the four forms of dance mentioned did not originate in their own countries B I wanted a change of pace,a break from routine.The past few years found me working long hours at my marketing job while my husband,Steven,put in equally full days as a physics tutor.We were both burned out from the constant boredom.Vacation experiences at first glance seem a little difficult for us.How do you find comfort in an ever-changing environment?And I,someone who enjoys more planned fun,had to adapt.But I was surprised at how easily I was able to adapt to a new mode of operation,a more relaxed version of myself who wasnt worried where wed park and sleep each night.The fact that we both became so accustomed to sleeping in the back of a cargo van is another surprise we experienced on this journey.The van was our main transportation and,with a full-size bed in the back,it also provided us with a bit of comfort that made us continue.At first,every sound outside was foreign,and we both took longer to fall-and stay-asleep.But,after a couple of weeks into van life,we let the sounds fade into soft background music.Over the course of our seven-month trip,one of our big goals was to come away from each park with one spectacular image.That shared goal placed us on the same team:It brought us together,even more than before,gave us more to talk about,and encouraged us to motivate each other along the way.By this point,youre probably wondering how we paid for all of this,or maybe youre assuming we come from wealthy backgrounds.The truth is,we actually managed this entire adventure on a middle-class budget.-5-Steven did part-time remote work about 10 hours per week for his employer from the road.I ended up finding some temporary jobs through the trip.We also continued our photography business,setting up an online shop to sell our landscapes.We only visited some parks in the 48 states.And the experience would still be worth every penny.It is really a chance to lose and find ourselves in our nations park lands.24.Why did the author want to change?A.Because she wanted a rest from daily routine.B.Because she was interested in travelling.C.Because she fell ill with long working hours.D.Because she didnt like her marketing job.25.What did the author think of the vacation before the journey?A.exciting B.helpful C.doubtful D.boring 26.What can we infer from the last but one paragraph?A.The couple visited 48 states during the trip.B.The couple tried different jobs to maintain their trip.C.The husband worked harder than the wife.D.The couple came from a middle-class family.27.What is the passage mainly about?A.Introducing a couples daily life.B.Sharing a couples travel experience.C.Showing the importance of traveling.D.Advising some travel plans to readers.C Scientists say theyve developed a system using machine learning to predict when and where lighting will strike.The research was led by engineers from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technologyin Lausanne,Switzerland.European researchers have estimated that between 6,000 and 24,000 people arc killed by lightning worldwide each year.The strikes can also cause power outages,destroy property,damage electrical equipment and start forest fires.For these reasons,climate scientists have long sought to develop methods to predict and control lightning.In the United States and other places,ground-based sensing devices are used to identify strikes as they happen.But,no system has been created to effectively predict lightning.The system tested in the experiments used a combination of data from weather stations and machine learning methods.The researchers developed a prediction model that was trained to recognize weather conditions that were likely to cause lightning.The model was created with data collected over a 12-year period from 12 Swiss weather stations in cities and-6-mountain areas.The data related to four main surface conditions:air pressure,air temperature,relative humidity and wind speed.The atmospheric data was placed into a machine learning algorithm(算法),which compared it to records of lightning strikes.Researchers say the algorithm was then able to learn the conditions under which lightning happens.Amirhossein Mostajabi is a PhD student at the institute who led the development of the method.He said,current systems for gathering such data arc slow and complex and require costly collection equipment like radar or satellites.Our method uses data that can be obtained from any weather station,Mostajabi said.This will improve data collection in very remote areas not covered by radar and satellite or in places where communication systems have been cut,he added.The researchers plan to keep developing the technology in partnership with a European effort that aims to create a lightning protection system.The effort is called the European Laser Lightning Rod project.28.Why have climate scientists tried to predict and control lighting?A.To collect relative data.B.To reduce the destruction lightning has been causing.C.To create a scientific system.D.To do research in relation to machine teaming.29.The four mentioned surface conditions include all the following EXCEPT.A.air pollution.B.wind speed.C.relative humidity.D.air temperature.30.What does the underlined word it in paragraph 5 refer to?A.lighting.B.the system being tested.C.the atmospheric data.D.the machine learning algorithm.31.What can we learn about Mostajabi from the passage?A.lie developed the method and the system himself.B.He thinks the current systems are too slow and simple.C.He is a professor at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology.D.He believes their system does much better in data collection.D If you are reading this,you were probably born in the 2000s.The oh-ohs.The 21st century.That would make you young,creative,connected,global,and no doubt smart.Maybe good-looking,too.Right?But what do other people think about your generation?Some adults worry that youre more interested in the screen in front of you than the world around you.They-7-think of you as the face-down generation because you use your phone so much and they wonder how you will deal with school,friends,and family.Are todays teenagers too busy texting and taking selfies to become successful in real life-or IRL,as you would say?Other adults worry that todays youth are spoilt and dont want to face the challenges of adult life.Many children born in the 1990s and 2000s were raised by helicopter parents,who were always there to guide and help their children with a busy schedule filled with homework and after-class activities such as dancing,drawing,or sports.With parents who do everything for them,todays youth seem to prefer to live like teenagers even when they are in their 20s or 30s.With these taken into account,does the face-down generation need a warning?Well,probably not.The fact is that many of todays teenagers are better educated and more creative than past generations.They seem to be enthusiastic and willing to be become leaders.More young people than ever volunteer to help their communities.There are also brave young people such as Malala Yousafzai,the teenager who won the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize for pushing girls rights to go to school.So if youre one of the oh-ohs,there are reasons to be hopeful about the future.Things are looking up for the face-down generation.Chances are that you will do GR8(great)and LOL(laugh out loud).32.Which of the following words can not be used to describe the oh-ohs?A.creative B.caring C.ignorant D.intelligent 33.What does the underlined phrase helicopter parents in paragraph 3 mean?A.parents who are rich and travel by helicopter B.parents who always watch over their children C.parents who have a very busy schedule D.parents who only turn up when necessary 34.What can we learn from the passage?A.The writer is a member of the face-down generation.B.The writer is optimistic about the future of the oh-ohs.C.The oh-ohs are more good-looking than their parents.D.The oh-ohs care about nothing other than their phones.35.What can be a best title for the passage?A.The helicopter parents B.The over-worried parents C.The spoiled generation D.The face-down generation 第二节(共 5 小题；每小题2 分，满分10 分)-8-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。Thinking about the past and worrying about the future makes it impossible to stay in the present moment.Worrying rarely solve anything,but many of us just cant resist it whenever we should be doing something else.36 And heres how to get started.Pick a 30-minute window On your calender,set aside 30 minutes for worrying.You had better make it a consistent daily time.37 Maybe you wont need it all,maybe youll find you need more at first,but try to contain it to a half hour.38 If throughout the day you feel yourself worrying about something that isnt immediately relevant,remind yourself that you have time to think about it later.Save it.Then try to reconnect with whats happening around you in the moment.Keep a notebook When your half hour of worry time arrives,use a notebook to catalogue and process whats causing you anxiety.39 It might be helpful to also keep that notebook around during the day when youre starting out:as a worry pops up,you can jot a note in it for later.You dont want to worry about forgetting your worry!Set a timer When those 30 minutes are over,the timer will ding and youll be free of your worries for another 24 hours.40 Over time,you will find that you have reduced your worry overall,feeling and sleeping better because these anxieties arent draining your mental strength all day.At the very least,it will give all that free floating fear a structure.A.Get rid of worry quickly.B.Dont let w
