21、4 Top Tours in Africa

This magic, the vast natural landscapes, breathtakingly beautiful flora and fauna of the inhabitants of the continent, easily makes it one of the great safari destinations in the world. Here is a close look at some top tours in Africa.

Namibia and Botswana Tour

Namibia is surprisingly beautiful while Botswana presents the best of game viewing in private reserves. The combination of these two into a single safari easily sums up a fascinating tour of Southern Africa. While Botswana stands out with its calm reserves that teem(充满) with wildlife, the Chobe River, which is a great location for an African river cruise, is just as thrilling.

The Mara Serengeti Tour

The Maasai Mara National Reserve in South Western Kenya offers 151，000 hectares of breathtakingly beautiful vistas(远景) and abundant wildlife in endless plains.

22、Researchers in Australia, who studied 1 , 500 people and their lifestyle, have found that having good friends can help you live longer. An American study of 1 0,000 students, over a period of 35 years, also found that if you make more friends than the average person at school, you’ll receive a higher salary（薪水） in later life. People need good social skills at work to manage people and work in a team successfully. These are the same skills we use to make friends at school.

On average(平均), teenagers aged between 1 5 and 1 7 have 500 “friends”on their favourite social networking site. Adults have 1 30. So if you believe this research, you might live for a long time and be very rich.

However, according to Professor Robin Dunbar from the University of Oxford, it probably won’t make any difference. Dunbar studied the number of messages between users of a popular social networking website, each of whom had between 200 and 2,000 friends. He found that they always communicate with a maximum (最大量) of 1 50 people.

Among these 1 50, Dunbar believes that around five people are close friends. You’ve mostly known them for a long time; they are probably old friends and you share all your good and bad experiences with them. Then there are ten more friends. Although they’re close to you, you may not keep in touch with them every week. Next there are 35 people who you might spend time with because of a shared interest. You aren’t close. And finally, there’s a large group of 1 00. You see or speak to these people at least once a year, but you don’t know them well. Beyond this number, Bunbar says, it’s impossible to make any relationship meaningful.

If you have a lot of online “friends”,try this experiment: First take away anyone you haven’t been in touch with for a year. Then remove people you can’t remember and, finally, take away friends who you wouldn’t mind losing touch with. How many do you have left? How many of these people are actually good friends? According to the research, these are the only people that really matter.

【1】What are the studies mentioned in the first paragraph mainly about?

A．The number of friends you should have.

B．The advantages of having a lot of friends.

C．Some social skills you may need at work.

D．Some useful advice on how to make friends.

【2】According to the American study in para.1 , the most popular students at school ________.

A．are likely to spend more money

B．may not be as popular at work

C．seem to get better paid-- job

D．will work harder in later years.

【3】What does the underlined part “this number”in paragraph 4 refer to ?

A．10.

B．35.

C．100.

D．150.

【4】. What does the text mainly want to show?

A．You need to spend more time with your friends.

B．There is a lot of research on the influence of friends.

C．Friends are sometimes more important than family.

D．It’s more important to have good friends.

【5】The text probably comes from ________.

A．science magazine

B．textbook

C．travel journal

D．newspaper

23、The Notre Dame fire has been put out, but its spire and a large portion of its wooden roof have been damaged. The terrible destruction causes a sudden sharp pain to people around the world. On Chinese social media network Wechat a common comment on the disaster is: “What a pity that we cannot see the damaged parts of the wonder anymore.”

But the good news is that there is at least one way of seeing them, namely via a video game called Assassin's Creed: Unity. In this game, the player can travel to one city after another and enter the buildings exactly like what they are in reality, and see Notre Dame as it was before the fire. Further, with virtual reality technology(虛拟现实技术), which is already quite mature, one can even look around the undamaged Notre Dame as if it is still there. Maybe digital technology could help to better protect architectural cultural heritage.

The idea of digitizing ancient buildings, making digital models of them so their data can be saved, dates back to the 1990s and the necessary technology has continued to advance since then. By scanning the ancient buildings with lasers, building 3D models with multiple images, as well as measuring everything precisely, engineers can make a copy as accurate as the real one.

As computers and smartphones are hugely popular, the digital replica（复制品）has great use value. First, it allows tourists to feel the cultural relics without touching them, which helps protect them. The virtual tour of Dunhuang Grottoes（敦煌洞穴）in Gansu Province is a good example of this as tourists can view the paintings without standing near them. Furthermore, it can make the digitized cultural relics more famous by spreading awareness about them via the Internet. In 2000, a virtual tour of the Great Wall became very popular at the Hannover World Expo, which increased the number of foreign tourists visiting the site in the following years. Above all, it preserves all the information of the cultural relics. Even if the original ones are damaged one day, people can still know what they were like and can build a replica if desired.

Of course, however precise a model is, it is not the original. Time is the biggest threat to a country's architectural heritage, which will always become ruins with the passing of time. Maybe we will have better technologies in the future, but the digital technology offers a practical way to preserve architectural cultural heritage at the moment.

【1】What can we see about Notre Dame in the game?

A．The damaged parts.

B．Its wooden shape.

C．Its original look.

D．The big fire.

【2】What value does a digital replica have?

A．It keeps the relics safe.

B．It helps to guard the relics.

C．It gathers data of the relics.

D．It advertises the history of the relics.

【3】How does the author prove the digital copy has vital practical importance?

A．By comparison.

B．By giving examples.

C．By classification （分类）

D．By listing data.

【4】What is the authors attitude towards the application of digital technology?

A．Doubtful.

B．Delighted.

C．Supportive.

D．Conservative. （保守的）

24、More than four decades ago British scientist Robert Edwards first witnessed the miracle of human life growing inside a test tube at his Cambridge lab. Since that ground-breaking moment, more than four million babies have been born through IVF and in 2010 his great contribution to science was finally recognized as he was awarded the Nobel Prize for medicine．

The prize for Dr Edwards, who was given a Daily Mirror Pride of Britain Award in 2008, includes￡900,000 cheque. The Nobel Assembly described IVF as a "milestone in modern medicine"．

With the help of fellow scientist Patrick Steptoe, the Manchester-born physiologist developed IVF — leading to the birth of the world's first test tube baby. Dr Steptoe died 10 years later but their work has transformed fertili-

-ty treatment and given hope to millions of couples．

It was a scientific breakthrough that transformed the lives of millions of couples. They said: "His achievemen-

-ts have made it possible to treat infertility, a disease which makes human unable to have a baby. This condition has beenafflictinga large percentage of mankind including more than 10% of all couples worldwide.”

Louise Brown, the world's first test tube baby, made international headlines when she was born in Oldham, Gtr Manchester, in 1978 to parents Lesley and John who had been fruitlessly trying for a baby since 1969．

Ivf-in-vitro fertilisation is the process whereby egg cells are fertilised outside the body before being implanted in the womb. After a cycle of IVF, the probability of a couple with infertility problems having a baby is one in five — the same as healthy couples who conceive naturally．

Professor Edwards, who has five daughters and 11 grandchildren, began his research at Cambridge University in 1963, after receiving his PhD in 1955．He once said: "The most important thing in life is having a child. Noth-

-ing is more special than a child.” With the help of fellow scientist Patrick Steptoe, Prof. Edwards founded the Bourn Hall clinic in Cambridge shire, which now treats more than 900 women a year. Each year, more than 30,000 women in Britain now undergo IVF and 11,000 babies are born as a result of the treatment．

But his work attracted widespread criticism from some scientists and the Catholic Church who said it was "unethical and immoral"．

Martin Johnson, professor of reproductive（生殖的） sciences at the University of Cambridge, said the award was "long overdue". He said: “We couldn't understand why the Nobel has come so late but he is delighted — this is the cherry on the cake for him.”

Professor Edwards was too ill to give interviews but a statement released by his family said he was "thrilled and delighted"．

【1】What is Robert Edwards’ contribution to science?

A. Challenging a disease which stops human having a baby．

B. Seeing the wonder of the first tube baby growing.

C. Enabling millions of couples to live a better life．

D. Helping couples with infertility to have tube babies．

【2】What does the underlined word “afflicting”（Paragraph 4）most probably refer to?

A. Troubling.   B. Developing.

C. Improving.   D. Confusing.

【3】Why did Professor Edwards begin his research on tube baby?

A. Because he thought it of great significance to have a child in life．

B. Because the birthrate around the world was unexpectedly low then．

C. Because a special child did make a difference to an ordinary family．

D. Because his fellow scientist wanted to give hope to the unlucky couples．

【4】It can be inferred from Paragraph 8 and Paragraph 9 that ___________．

A. some people envied Professor Edwards for his being awarded

B. different opinions were voiced on Professor Edwards’ finding

C. Professor Edwards deserved the prize for his breakthrough

D. the prize was late because the finding was first considered immoral

【5】What might be the best title for the passage?

A. Life Stories of Robert Edwards

B. Preparations for Having a Baby

C. Nobel Prize for IVF Expert Edwards

D. Treatment of Infertility in a Lab
