21、What do you think of when you hear the word Australia? Kangaroos and beaches? We’ve rounded up some top Aussie travel bloggers who have given us their trips about the best places to visit in Australia.

Blue Mountains

If you’re looking for a dose of nature, the Blue Mountains are for you. Make sure you have time to visit Wentworth Falls. This spot offers walks of varying difficulty with appealing views of the waterfall, and it’s just a short drive from the main event—The Three sisters. These famous rock formations are the highlight of this picturesque (如画的) postcard area. If you head to Echo Point, don’t miss the Science Railway—the steepest passenger railway in the world.

Sydney

Sydney is filled with beautiful beaches, fun activities and good food. One of the best ways to view the beauty of Sydney is by taking a relaxing walk. An amazing beach walk, and one of the best, is from Bondi Beach to Coogee Beach. It offers extremely pleasant views of the area’s famous rocky beach, thin beach and sandy beach.

Byron Bay

Byron is one of Australia’s top tourist destinations. From countless waterfalls and swimming holes to mountains and bushwalks, this small region hides so much beauty. I would suggest starting with a hike to the bottom of Minyon Falls for a swim, a hike to the top of Mt Warning for a sunrise, and then a hike to the Natural Arch. These are just some of the most accessible, but there is so much more if you’re willing to explore.

Sunshine Coast

The Sunshine Coast has become one of the most beautiful strips of coastland in Australia, long white beaches lined with health-conscious cafés and boutique clothes shops (精品服装店). When you aren’t absorbing the sunshine on one of the many beaches, you can head out to the hinterland (内陆地区) for a day of mountain hiking or discover the swimming holes and waterfalls with not a soul in sight.

【1】It can be learned from the text that _______.

A．walking along various beaches is a good way to enjoy the scenery in Sydney

22、阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

As is known to all, colors appear in every language to express people’s feeling and thoughts. Then, what is the situation in American English?

Red is a hot color. Americans may say they are red hot about something unfair. They are red hot when they are very angry about something. The small hot-tasting peppers found in many Mexican foods are called red hot for their color and their fiery taste. Fast loud music is popular with many people. They may say the music is red hot, especially the kind called Dixieland Jazz.

Pink is a lighter kind of red. People sometimes say they are in the pink when they are in good health．The expression was first used in America at the beginning of the twentieth century. It comes from the fact that many babies are born with nice pink skin that shows that they are in good health.

The color black is often used in expressions. People describe a day on which everything goes wrong as a black day. People or things on a blacklist are connected with things illegal now. But at one time, some businesses refused to employ people who were on a blacklist for belonging to unpopular organizations.

The color green is natural for trees and grass. But it is an unnatural color for humans. A person who has a sick feeling in his stomach may say he feels a little green. A passenger on a boat who is feeling very sick from high waves may look very green.

Sometimes a person may be upset because he does not have something as nice as a friend has. That person may say he is green with envy. Some people are green with envy because a friend has more dollars or greenbacks. Dollars are called greenbacks because green is the color of the back side of the paper money．

23、Putting cash in the hands of mothers can help shape the brains of their babies, according to a study in the United States.

Family income has been linked to child development numerous times in the past in observational studies, but this is the first time researchers have found direct experimental evidence of how poverty drives such changes.

The findings come from an ongoing study known as Baby’s First Year, which is attempting to assess how poverty reduction can impact the cognitive and emotional growth of very young children. “We have known for many years that growing up in poverty puts children at risk for lower school achievement, reduced earnings, and poorer health,” explains neuroscientist Kimberly Noble from Columbia University. “However, until now, we haven’t been able to say whether poverty itself causes differences in child development, or whether growing up in poverty is simply associated with other factors that cause those differences.”

A thousand low-income mothers in the US were recruited (招募) for the study shortly after their babies were born. These parents, who came from either New York City, New Orleans, Omaha or Minneapolis/St. Paul, were then randomly offered either $333 a month in unconditional cash payments or $20 a month in unconditional cash payments for the first four years of their baby's life—no strings attached.

The data show that giving low-income mothers financial support can directly change infant brain activity in the first year of life. Infants (婴儿) whose mothers had received the higher cash payments, for instance, had higher frequency brain activity than those infants whose mothers had received less.

Further research is needed to see whether these changes in brain activity last or whether they translate to improved cognitive development, but there’s good reason to suspect they might.

【1】How is the current study different from previous ones?

A．It didn’t get expectant result.

B．Its result is obtained by observing.

C．There is no evidence to support it.

D．Its result is based on direct experiment.

【2】What’s the purpose of the current study?

A．To find other factors that impact young children.

B．To find if poverty has negative effects on child development.

C．To prove if relieving poverty contributes to child brain development.

D．To prove family income has nothing to do with child development.

【3】What can you infer from paragraph 4?

A．The cash was offered without conscious decision.

B．The study gave away money to low-income mothers.

C．Thousands of low-income mothers were involved in the study.

D．Low-income mothers received cash payments for four years.

【4】What is the passage probably going to talk about next?

A．Why further research is needed.

B．Studies contrary to the current findings.

C．Whether these changes in brain activity last.

D．Other similar studies that support the current findings.

24、Located in Shanghai’s coastal Lingang area, the Shanghai Astronomy Museum covers 38,000 square meters.

“The majority of astronomy museums in the world are about 20,000 square meters, so this is arguably the largest in the world.It will be able to host visits by around 6,000 people a day,” said Lin Qing, director of the museum’s research center.

Besides interactive experiences, the museum will also exhibit many rare items, including a first edition copy of the first English translation of Isaac Newton’s Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy which was published in 1729.

In the meteorites (陨石) section, a 21.4-kilogram meteorite will be displayed under glass.It fell onto a farm in Changxing Island in the city in 1964 and the piece held by the museum is the largest one.
