21、Petra may be the treasure of the world, hidden among mountains. Its most beautiful scenery makes it the greatest ancient site stillstanding nowadays. Common sense says, “Perhaps there’s nothing on the planet that resembles it.” Without doubt, there’s nothing on the world that resembles it. The rockcarved (雕刻的) rosered town of Petra is filled with mysterious charm; it had been “designed to strike wonder into all who entered it”.
Petra is the most wellknown and beautiful site in Jordan that is about 262 km south of Amman, and 133 km north of Aqaba. The Dead Sea is 80 kilometers north of it. It was the legacy from the Nabataeans, who settled in the southwest of Jordan a lot more than 2,000 years back. Because of its excellent culture, buildings and many water channels, Petra has become a UNESCO world heritage site and one of the New Seven Wonders of the World that attracts visitors all over the world.
To get there, you must pass through a kilometer long, cool, dark and narrow gorge (峡谷) whose two high sides keep the sunlight out. Suddenly the gorge opens right into a natural square covered with Petra’s most wellknown monuments (遗址), which glow in the bright sun. The old town shows the visitors its beautiful look. It leads people to think about the creativity of the Nabataeans who made Petra as their capital.
Petra flourished for more than 400 years at about the time of Rome until it had been occupied through the Roman legions in 106 AD. Petra has 800 monuments, including buildings, tombs, baths, halls, temples, and streets, which were mostly carved in the pretty sandstone.
Petra sights are in their finest at the beginning of morning and late afternoon. Once the sun warms the colorful stones, you will see the greatness of Petra since it was seen first when discovered in 1812 after being lost through the 16th century for nearly 300 years!
【1】What does the underlined part “mysterious charm” in Paragraph 1 mean?

D.Petra’s monuments were all carved in the light red stones.
22、Youth sports are going to teach young players a lot more than how to shoot a basketball or run faster. 【1】 These sportsmanship values are just as important as the development of athletic skills. Thus, coaches must drill positive values into children with strict athletic training. There are several important pieces of advice that should be kept in mind in coaching.
Promote integrity (诚实正直)
When it comes to young athletes, promoting integrity should remain at the forefront of every athletic competition. 【2】. Never encourage athletes to perform morally or legally questionable actions during gameplay.
Encourage teamwork
One of the most important aspects of sports is the development of teamwork. One way is to encourage players to help their teammates who might be struggling or to work with kids who might be left out. Also, mistakes will present themselves as good opportunities for coaches to help build teamwork. But remember not to embarrass players by calling them out individually. 【3】
【4】
Sometimes players need to be singled out for poor displays of sportsmanship, lack of effort, or simply important teaching moments. However, never call out a player in front of other people. It is only natural that sometimes children’s emotions get the best of them or children lose focus and make silly mistakes. Coaches need to control their emotions and avoid yelling at a player in front of the team. 【5】 Instead, pull the player aside privately and politely explain what went wrong and how to correct it in the future.
A.Criticize wisely and privately
B.Correct a player with patience
C.This only serves to cause embarrassment
D.An individual cannot have success on every play
E.Instead, strengthen the idea that the team both succeeds and fails together
F.They can also promote values such as respect, teamwork, and commitment
G.Therefore, a coach should encourage a team to always play within the rules
23、 According to the UN’s World Happiness Report for 2016, Denmark is officially the happiest country on Earth.Here is a list of reasons behind the happiness:
A different view of money
Danes tend not to be concerned with “keeping up with the Joneses”. 【1】. Rather than buying the fanciest cars or the most expensive houses, Danish people spend money on leisure activities such as hobbies, outings with friends, or games.
An enjoyable job climate
【2】. They also work, on average, 1,522 hours per year, which is lower than most countries. Not only does this give them more leisure time, it is not detrimental, as the average yearly income is $59,850. Besides, Denmark has the lowest income inequality and highest minimum wage in the world.
【3】
The importance placed on human communication fosters a belief in one’s neighbors and a trust that if something bad were to happen, the community would come to help them. 94% of Danes report that they have somebody they could rely on in time of need.
A clean environment
The government encourages green policies,such as bicycling in cities, in order to cut down on harmful emissions. Like bicycling, many of these measures also have other benefits. 【4】. In Denmark, levels of air pollution, water pollution, and agricultural pollution are also lower than most other countries.
【5】.
A.Somebody to lean on
B.Somebody to seek advice from
C.Danes have lower unemployment rates than most countries in the world
D.Instead, they view money as a kind of means to connect with other people
E.Cities where bicycling is common have less traffic, less noise, and healthier citizens
F.Looking over all these factors, it becomes apparent that almost anybody would love living in Denmark
G.Parks, neighborhoods, and cities can be enjoyed without worry of pollution-related illnesses like asthma or allergies
24、Do you ever feel like making your way through your to-do list is a one step forward, two steps back kind of game?
My to-do list has been ever-increasing lately in preparations for a new baby. Every time I cross something off—assembling a crib(组装婴儿床),buying a new car—something even more difficult gets added.【1】 That will require some major work in the middle of decorating our new nursery.
【2】 For ever dinner I successfully cook, there are the dishes to be done. I brought my winter clothes out only to discover I needed to buy more storage for my summer clothes.【3】
I don’t have a secret answer to making household and life tasks easier, but I do think that I am starting to develop a better strategy for framing my thoughts around all the things I need, or even just want, to accomplish. The first step is stopping to check in with myself, which is advice I got from a therapist (治疗专家). I take a deep breath and think about what I really need.【4】And then I try to remember two important things:
•This busy and stressful period of life will pass.
•I am doing the best I can.
【5】
A.And on it goes.
B.Never stop trying again.
C.If that’s a break, I take a break.
D.And it all becomes just a little easier.
E.Soon problems will be solved with no effort.
F.For example, we just found an electrical problem.
G.And it’s not just the big listed to-do items that feel never-ending.
25、What is the Great Pacific Garbage Patch?
The Great Pacific Garbage Patch (GPGP) is the largest of the five offshore plastic accumulation zones in the world’s oceans. It is located halfway between Hawaii and California.
PLASTIC __________
It is estimated that 1.15 to 2.41 million tonnes of plastic are entering the ocean each year from rivers. More than half of this plastic is less __________than the water, meaning that it will not sink once it encounters the sea.
The strong and floating plastics show resiliency(韧性) in the marine environment, allowing them to be transported over __________distances. They persist at the sea surface as they make their way off shore, transported by converging (汇聚的) currents and finally accumulating in the patch.
Once these plastics enter the gyre(环流), they are unlikely to leave the area until they __________into smaller microplastics under the effects of sun, waves and marine life. As more and more plastics are discarded into the environment, microplastic __________in the GPGP will only continue to increase.
LOCATION
Due to seasonal and interannual variabilities of winds and currents, the GPGP’s location and shape are constantly changing. Only floating objects that are __________influenced by currents were likely to remain within the patch.
By simulating concentration levels in the North Pacific, the researchers were able to follow the location of the patch and found on average it orbits around 32°N and 145°W. However, the team observed seasonal __________from west to east and substantial variations in latitude(纬度)depending on the year.
IMPACT ON WILDLIFE
Plastic has increasingly become a very common substance in the ocean. Due to its size and color, animals __________the plastic for food, causing malnutrition; it poses entanglement(缠绕)risks and threatens their overall behavior, health, and existence.
Studies have shown that about 700 species have encountered marine debris, and 92% of these __________are with plastic. 17% of the species affected by plastic are on the International Union for Conservation of Nature Red List of Threatened Species.
IMPACT ON HUMANS AND SOCIETY
Once plastic enters the marine food web, there is a possibility that it will contaminate the human food chain as well. Through a process called bioaccumulation, chemicals in plastics will enter the body of the animal __________on the plastic, and as the feeder becomes prey, the chemicals will pass to the __________—making their way up the food web that includes humans. These chemicals that affected the plastic feeders could then be __________within the human as well.
__________, yearly economic costs due to marine plastic are estimated to be between $6-19billion USD. The costs __________its impact on tourism, fisheries and aquaculture, and governmental cleanups.
