21、Planning a visit to the UK? Here we help with ways to cut your costs.

AVOID BIG EVENTS

Big sporting events, concerts and exhibitions can increase the cost of accommodation. A standard double room at the Thistle Brighton on the final Friday of the Brighton Comedy Festival (19 Oct.) cost £169.15 at Booking.com. A week later, the same room cost £118.15. If you can be flexible and want to know dates to avoid — or you're looking for a big event to pass your time — check out sites such as Whatsonwhen.com, which allow you to search for events in the UK by city, date and category.

STAYAWAY FROM THE STATION

If traveling to your destination by train, you may want to find a good base close to the station, but you could end up paying more for the sake of convenience at the start of your holiday. Don't be too choosy about the part of town you stay in. Booking two months in advance, the cheapest room at Travelodge's Central Euston hotel in London for Saturday 22 September was £95.95. A room just a tube journey away at its Covent Garden hotel was £75.75. And at Farringdon, a double room cost just £62.95.

GET ON A BIKE

London's 'Boris bikes' have attracted the most attention, but other cities also have similar programs that let you rent a bicycle and explore at your own pace, saving you on public transport or car parking costs. Among the smaller cities with their own programs are Newcastle (casual members pay around £1.50 for two hours) and Cardiff (free for up to 30 minutes, or £5 per day).

【1】Big sporting events, concerts and exhibitions can ________.

A．help travellers pass time

B．attract lots of travellers to the UK

C．allow travellers to make flexible plans

D．cause travellers to pay more for accommodation

【2】"Farringdon" in Paragraph 3 is most probably ________.

A．a hotel away from the train station

22、Modern humans have only been around for some 300,000 years. That's just a flash in earth history. Still, we've left our mark on the planet, We've changed Earth's terrain（地形）and its chemistry. We've also affected the diversity, abundance and biomass（生物量）of many other species.

For example, between 15,000 and 10,000 years ago, half of Earth's large mammal（哺乳动物）species died out. Human activities, such as hunting or destroying habitats, seem to have largely driven that extinction. That's what a 2014 study concluded, at least. It is estimated that over humanity's history, 90 percent of animal biomass has disappeared.

The plant kingdom has taken a similar hit. Its mass has declined by half since humans began wandering the planet. Today, 43 percent of Earth's trees grow in the tropics. But human-caused climate change has been warming the high latitudes faster than the rest of the planet. As a result, more plants can move in and grow there. However, climate change and the cutting down of greenery at tropical sites have made some of those sites drier. So even if more land is warm enough to support trees, the total biomass of trees will fall.

By 2050,earth may host 9.7 billion people. Our human biomass by then still won't outweigh bacteria. But the balance of animals and plants may continue to shift so that we'll have even more livestock and crops and even less wildlife. This means the variety of life on Earth will decline. And that can be bad for the health of habitats.

Biomass studies such as these are one way to project what the future may look like, and how quickly major changes in species or ecosystems may occur. They also help us understand the role people are playing in these changes. That could help us learn what organisms（big or small）most need protecting.

【1】What contributed to the distinction of many large mammal species?

A．Human activities.

B．Lack of food

C．Natural disasters.

D．Poor adaptation.

【2】What percentage of plants have disappeared since humans wandered on the planet?

A．90%.

B．50%.

C．43%.

D．60%.

【3】What can we infer from the fourth paragraph?

A．Earth will be too crowded by 2050.

B．Bacteria will take over the world.

C．Wildlife habitats will be protected.

D．Species will continue to die out.

【4】In which part of the internet does this text probably come from?

A．Climate.

B．Pollution.

C．Science.

D．Education.

23、   We recently asked subscribers of the BuzzFeed Books newsletter to tell us about a book that changed their lives. There’s something here for everyone, so take your pick — and get ready to be inspired.

All the Bright Places by Jennifer Niven

This is a book about the story of an unlikely friendship between Finch, who's fascinated with dying, and Violet, who's living for the future in the wake of her sister's death. Both have much to learn from each other. All the Bright Places really shows that, no matter what tragedy or hardship you may have faced, you eventually just have to get back out there and live your life. —Mikaila C.

Get it from Amazon for $7.99+, Barnes and Noble for $8.49, or a local bookseller through IndieBound.

Americanah by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

As an American-Nigerian, this book spoke to me on so many levels — from the simple joy of a text interspersed with the language of my parents, to the struggle of understanding race in terms of the world beyond America. I highly recommend it.—Chikodili Agwuna

Get it from Amazon for $10.99+, Barnes and Noble for $13.07, or a local bookseller through IndieBound.

The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

Growing up without family to turn to during adolescence, I felt every pain and loneliness that the prince experienced. But The Little Prince taught me to make friends and value them by looking into their hearts — not just into what they projected in public. —Erika, Chicago

Get it from Amazon for $6.51+, Barnes and Noble for $7.51, or a local bookseller through IndieBound.'

A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini

24、Where can you hike along a world-heritage coastline, ride an Atlantic wave, then cycle around a puffin colony, all within a few miles of each other? The answer is along Northern Ireland’s Causeway Coast.

At the tip of Northern Ireland lies its most famous attraction-the UNESCO world heritage site of the Giant’s Causeway. And there’s no better way to reach it than on foot, by following an eight - mile section of the Causeway Coast Way.

For something completely different, head to nearby Glenariff Forest Park. Set within the celebrated Glens of Antrim, the scenery here brings you to another world. Expect many waterfalls, wooden walkways deep within river gorges, and long-distance views.

If two wheels are your thing, Rathlin Island offers an outing that will remain in your memory for years to come. The most popular is the eight-mile return trip to its western tip. Regardless of when you visit, the views remain wonderful all year round.

Another great choice is to leave the land altogether, and explore the unique coastline from the sea. This is a shore with caves, arches, tunnels and cliffs, and the only way to appreciate them fully is from the water.

Sea kayaking (皮艇) is a great choice, with several local companies providing all the equipment (设备) and guidance. If you’d prefer to enjoy the waves then there’s the chance to try surfing instead. Hire a wetsuit and surfboard from the back of the beach, book into a lesson, then hit the waves. Whether you're a beginner or not, you'll have a great time, with watery thrills and spills all part of the fun. .

Of course the activities mentioned here is just part of what's available, and with a little imagination almost anything is possible. How about a catch-and-sea boat trip? Or a horse ride? Organised scuba diving? It’s all here, with many choices to suit all ages and abilities. So what’s keeping you away? The Causeway Coast is a goldmine of activities and opportunities, its beauty are just waiting to be discovered.

【1】Which is the suggested way to enjoy the views in the Causeway Coast Way?

A．Walking

B．Cycling.

C．Boating

D．Diving.

【2】What can we learn about sea kayaking?

A．It is only for beginners

B．You have to bring equipment

C．A training course is provided

D．The wetsuit is only for sale

【3】What’s the text?

A．An introduction to some water sports

B．An advertisement for a tourist attraction

C．A research paper on natural exploration

D．A story about a world-heritage coastline
