The world's largest reef system stretches for 3, 000 kilometers（l, 865 miles）off the Queensland coast and has 400 types of coral and 1, 500 species of tropical fish.Along with diving and snorkeling, you can also fish and island hop.UluruUluru is a sacred site to the native Anangu people. It's 450 kilometers （280 miles） southwest of Alice Springs in the Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park. While it is closed to climbers now, it remains a spectacular place to visit with many other activities that will still be available in the park. It is a truly beautiful and spiritual place. You don't need to climb it to experience that.Blue MountainsThe Blue Mountains are about two hours west of Sydney by car. They contain some of the world's oldest species of plants-including Wollemi pines, which are the botanical equivalent （同 等物）of dinosaurs. Soaring forests, canyons, sandstone cliffs and waterfalls are some of the major draws for outdoor enthusiasts, and the hiking here is spectacular.Rottnest IslandFamily-friendly Rottnest Island, affectionately called "Rotto” by the locals, is a quick 25-minute ferry ride from the Western Australia port town of Fremantle or 90 minutes from Perth's Barrack Street Jetty. Why go there? For one thing, it's an escape from cars. Instead, you can get around by bike, and more than 60 beaches await you as you pedal your way through paradise.

They are fantastic for music lovers.BThere's this idea that the best stories are somewhere else, but actually we've got great stories on our doorsteps.I was born in Birmingham and grew up doing sport. At 16, when I was playing football, I injured my knee so badly that I had to give up any sporting ambitions. However, I turned to photography as a way for me to continue exploring my passion for sport. Taking photos also allowed me to connect with people, sound their voices and challenge social norms （规范）.When I was growing up, I hardly saw any photographs of ordinary girls playing sport. The only images I see of sportswomen in the mainstream media are of excellent athletes. To fill the gap, I'm trying to do my own art project People, Place and Sport. Since most people aren't used to being in the spotlight, I will open with the same question: "What does this sport mean to you?” Then I try to involve the subjects I photograph by doing interviews with them and asking how they would like to share their stories with sports. When people respond positively and start to relax, I begin to shoot them on film.One of my best project photos is of Mav Akram boxing. Mav is an African woman boxer and runs a Women's Boxing Club in Birmingham. She is also passionate about getting women into boxing, not just for the physical elements, but also mental health. Because Mav thinks boxing is not only a strategic sport of not getting hit, but also can offer a sense of community. This photo truly encourages women of all shapes and sizes to participate in the sport.4. What is the author?A. An athlete. B. A photographer. C. A coach.D. A reporter.5. . How does the author bond with her subjects?A. By taking their photos right away.B. By showing them a picture of Mav.C. By getting to know their own stories.6. What does Mav think of boxing?A. It is merely suitable for men.C. It teaches her to avoid getting hit.7. What is the text mainly about?A. An art project.C. An impressive photo.D. By opening up with various questions.B. It sharpens her body and mind.D. It helps her fight against social norms.8. A passion fbr sport.D. A lasting friendship.CAn analysis of 5.4 grammes of stones and dust that a Japanese Hayabusa-2 spacecraft gathered from Ryugu, an asteroid （小行星）near Earth, has discovered a surprising component: a drop of water. The discovery offers new support for the theory that life on Earth may have originated from outer space.Hayabusa-2 was launched in 2014 on its mission to Ryugu, and returned to Earth's orbit two years ago to drop off a capsule containing the sample. The sample has been divided among different scientific teams to maximize the chance of new discoveries. The precious cargo has already produced several results, including organic materials that showed some of the building blocks of life on Earth, amino acids, may have been formed in space.The lead scientist, Tomoki Nakamura of Tohoku University and his team, which is made up of about 150 researchers from the US, Britain, France, Italy and China, also analyzed the sample from Ryugu. The team's latest discovery was a drop of water containing salt and organic matter. “This drop of water has great meaning. Many researchers believe that water was brought from outer space, but we actually discovered water in Ryugu for the first time J Nakamura said.That bolsters the theory that asteroids such as Ryugu, or its larger parent asteroid, could have provided water, which contains salt and organic matter in collisions（碰撞）with Earth. "Such discovery may have been directly linked to the origin of the oceans or organic matter on Earth J Nakamura said.Kensei Kobayashi, a scientist who is not part of the research group, applauded the discovery. “The fact that water was discovered in the sample itself is surprising, given the chances of it being destroyed in outer space. It does suggest that the asteroid contained water, in the form of fluid and not just ice, and organic matter may have been generated in that water," Kobayashi said.8. What did Nakamura's team find lately?1. Ryugu moves near the earth.8. Ryugu accommodates fluid water.C Organic matter exists in sample water.D. Amino acids come into being in space.9. What does the underlined word “bolsters" probably mean?A. Supports.B. Doubts.C. Advances.D. Tests.10. What is the significance of the discovery?A. It draws attention to amino acids.B. It proves the mission to Ryugu a success.C. It offers clues to origins of life on Earth.D. It promises a bright future for spaceexploration.11. What is Kobayashi5 s attitude toward the finding?A. Critical.B. Skeptical.C. Objective.D. Favorable.DJust as digital transformation improved many businesses and emerging technology, artificial intelligence (A. L), and machine learning also have the potential to greatly improve operations in health care settings. Bringing in these changes is becoming increasingly popular for health care providers.One company leading the automation revolution in health care is A KASA, a San Francisco-based developer of A. I. for health care operations. "American medicine may be the best in, the world, but the health care system is still far behind because it has a complicated back-end, system J says AKASA's chief executive officer and co-founder Malinka Walaliyadde. U6We are simplifying and automating that system to make it a better experience for health care providers.”For A KASA, the result has been an immediate improvement in both patient satisfaction and Omaha, for example, began their organization's re venues"攵入).Methodist Health System in Omaha, for example, began working with A KASA to automate the non-value-added aspects within its revenue cycle. "Now, processes that used to take more than seven minutes to determine are down to just one minute,“ says Jeff Francis, Methodist Health System's chief financial officer and vice president of finance. "There has been a sharp increase in revenue, which is up by at least l%to $3 billion.”Walaliyadde credits AKASA's impressive product offering and its amazing results to the devotion and unmatched expertise of its workforce. We hire the best and the brightest in both the health care and technology worlds from around the country and give employees the resources to solve old problems in new ways. The more unique backgrounds we can bring to a project, the better equipped we' 11 be to handle challenges with new and creative solutions/9 Walaliyadde says. Even as AKASA strengthens its place in the health care technology field, Walaliyadde knows there are many more innovations to come. "We have made a large amount of progress already/9 he says, “but there is so much more to do.12. What do we know about AKASA?B. Its aim is to upgrade American health care.D. Its employees are of similar backgrounds.A. Its revenue reaches $3 billion.C. Its headquarter is based in France.13. What can we infer from Jeff Francis's words?A.

Standing on that first branch, I was able to reach the others and climb my way up like a monkey, up into the higher branches until I found myself taking in my whole neighborhood from on high.Climbing trees allowed me to enter another world. My friends and I took our imaginations with us to new heights, entering a fortress a pirate ship or a spaceship. One summer, we spent so much time in the sycamore that my dad created a rope-and-pulley system with an attached basket, so my mom could send ham sandwiches to us.With these memories in mind, I still have one question: Do kids still climb trees? In my small Maine town, there are some lovely maples and oaks, and their branches spread wide and open for exploration. But I have not yet seen a taker. Perhaps computer games have substituted for tree-climbing, or maybe the activity came to be viewed as too risky. It is a sad loss.The campus of the university where I teach now is lovingly landscaped with all sorts of trees, with some being incredibly old. During a recent walk, I found myself ducking under the limb of a spruce. I used my feet to scrabble my way up the trunk-none of this as easy as it once was-and a moment later I was up in the tree. Then the memories came flooding back.I was so lost in my thoughts that I didn't hear the student calling to me from below. He asked what I was doing. uCome on up J I said. "The air's fine?9 But he only laughed, waved me off and continued on his way. He didn't know what he was missing.4. Why did the author enjoy climbing trees when he was a child?A.It fueled his imagination.B.It allowed him to see a fortress.C.It let him swing on tree branches.D.It enabled him to overlook the city.5. What does the author think is the most likely reason that kids have stopped climbing trees?A.The concern about damaging trees.B.The difficulty of finding suitable trees.C.The popularity of computer games.D.The desire for more challenging activities.6. What happened when the author climbed up a spruce on campus?A. He was criticized by his students.B. He realized his passion for climbing trees was gone.
