You might like to try one of these four experiences.‎ Crocodile watching Do you fancy getting up close to some of the most terrifying animals on earth? Crocosaurus Cove, in Darwin (Australia) has the “Cage of Death”. It’s an enclosure that’s lowered into a pool. This gives you a 360 degree view of a crocodile as it was being fed. The cable broke once and the cage sank to the bottom, but they’ve fixed it since then.‎ Edge walk How about walking along the edge of a building several hundred meters up in the air? If that sounds like fun, head off to the CN Tower in Toronto (Ontario‎, ‎Canada). Built in 1976, the tower is 553.33 meters tall.‎ The Edge walk consists of a 20-30 minute stroll along a 1.5 meter wide platform that runs around the tower’s restaurant roof. During the walk, you’re encouraged to lean forwards as you look over Toronto’s skyline (轮廓线).‎ Plastic ball rolling Do you fancy rolling down a hill in a plastic ball?‎ Plastic ball rolling is popular all over the world, but the place to give it a go is in Rotorua (New Zealand). Brother David and Andrew Akers came up with the idea in 1994. A typical orb (球) is about 3 meters in diameter, with an inner orb size of about 2 meters. There’s no brake or steering mechanism, but the inner layer of the plastic ball helps absorb the shock.‎ Volcano bungee jumping If you’re looking for the adventure of a lifetime, how about going bungee jumping off a helicopter into the crater of a live volcano? As part of the jumping, a helicopter ride takes you to the Villarreal volcano, one of the most active in Chile. Once you’re at the drop zone, you leap off the helicopter and fall into the volcano. Finally, you enjoy the ride back to the airport flying at 130kph.‎ Attracted by the above? If so, please contact us. Only half price from March 22 to April 25th For more information, please click here.‎ ‎21. According to the passage, there was an accident once when people _____.‎ A. jumped into the Villarreal volcano B. walked along the platform of the CN Tower C. rolled down a hill in a plastic ball in Rotorua D. watched crocodiles in the “Cage of Death” in Darwin ‎22. Which of the following was first invented in New Zealand?‎ A. Edge walk. B. Crocodile watching. ‎ C. Plastic ball rolling. D. Volcano bungee jumping.‎ ‎23. It can be inferred that all the four experiences are ______.‎ ‎ A. interesting sports B. exciting and extreme C. held on high places D. fit for middle to old people B Many cars advertisements in the United States are red, blue or green. But nearly 75% of the new cars sold in the United States are black, white, silver or gray.‎ ‎ Les Jackson is a reporter who writes about cars. He says Americans prefer the cars whose colors do not show dirt clearly. In this way, the owners can wash their cars less to save money. In fact, some areas that are short of water do not allow people to wash their cars often.‎ ‎ Dan Benton works for a company called Axalta, which sells paint（涂料）to international car markers. He says white cars are usually sold at a better price than cars of other colors. And they absorb less energy, which means temperatures inside them are lower in warmer areas. Besides, research at Monash University in Australia suggests that there is a lower risk of car accidents during the day for white cars compared with darker ones. In China, many buyers say white makes a small car look bigger.‎ ‎ Axalta says about 11% of the cars sold in North America are red and 8% are blue. In South America, 10% of the new cars sold are red.‎ ‎ “Green cars have become less popular,” Dan Benton says. “In the mid 1990s, green was the most popular color in North America. But today, green cars are hard to find.”‎ ‎ In the future, people may not have to choose the color of their cars---technology may let owners change their cars’ paint color anytime.‎ ‎24. Americans like to buy cars that don’t show dirt clearly in order to _________‎ A. save energy B. save money C. follow the government policy D. reduce car accidents ‎25. According to the text, white cars have many features except _________‎ A. looking more beautiful B. absorbing less heat C. being more expensive D. being safer ‎26.________ people think white cars appear to be bigger than they really are.‎ A. south American B. Australian C. Chinese D. North American ‎27. Nowadays in North American, which color car may be dislike by most people?‎ A. Red B. White C. Blue D. Green C French writer Frantz Fanon once said: "To speak a language is to take on a world, a culture." Since the world changes every day, so does our language.‎ More than 300 new words and phrases have recently made it into the Oxford Dictionary Online, and in one way or another they are all reflections of today’s changing world.‎ After a year that was politically unstable（不稳定的）, it's not hard to understand the fact that people's political views are one of the main drives of our enlarging vocabulary. One example is "clicktivism", a compound of "click" and "activism". It refers to "armchair activists" -- people who support a political or social cause, but only show their support from behind a computer or smart phone.‎ ‎"We had all the words around Brexit(脱欧) in the last update and we are now starting to see all the words around Trump coming into the dictionary," Angus Stevenson, Oxford Dictionaries' head of content development, told The Guardian.‎ Lifestyle is also changing our language. For example, "fitspiration" -- a compound of fit and inspiration -- refers to a person or thing that encourages one to exercise and stay fit and healthy. The phrase "climate refugee" -- someone who is forced to leave their home due to climate change -- reflects people's concern for the environment.‎ According to Stevenson, social media was the main source for the new expressions "People feel much freer to coin their own words these days." he said.‎ But still, not all newly- invented words get the chance to make their way into a mainstream dictionary. If you want to create your own hit words（热词）, Angus Stevenson suggests that you should not only make sure that they are expressive and meaningful, but also have an attractive sound so that people will enjoy saying them out loud.‎ ‎28. Why does the author mention Brexit and Trump?‎ A. To explain the origin of the word "clicktivism".‎ B. To show the influences of current events on the English language.‎ C. To highlight two major political events that changed the world.‎ D. To explain what kind of new words can make it into a dictionary.‎ ‎29. The underlined word "coin "in the sixth paragraph probably means ________.‎ A. use B. record C. change D. create ‎30. How is the article mainly written?‎ A. By giving examples. B. By making comparisons.‎ C. By following a timeline. D. By presenting research findings.‎ ‎31. What is the article mainly about?‎ A. New words and phrases into the Oxford Dictionary Online.‎ B. The application of new words and phrases.‎ C. New words and phrases in politics.‎ D. The influence of social media on our language.‎ D Have you ever thought of taking a train and having an adventure？Riding the train can be a real adventure．That is how I feel every time I take Amtrak．I often take a four﹣hour trip to visit my children．Every time I take this trip I never know what will happen．‎ ‎ Last week when I was on the train and over an hour into the train ride，there was a man sitting by himself in the back of the train carrying on a mobile phone conversation﹣in another language. It was loud and disturbed most of the people on the train. I think it was annoying．‎ ‎ Fortunately I sat next to a wonderful old lady who was taking a two﹣day trip by train．She said her two daughters were distraught at the thought of her driving for three days to reach her home, although she had no trouble driving. The train ride was the only choice for her．She loved to look out of the window and watch the world go by on the train．‎ ‎ She was fun to talk to and asked me when my children started being parents. That is a very good question．Both of us are old and have children．She asked that same question from time to time．‎ ‎ There are always many people on the train from all walks of life, different countries and many languages．Riding the train is a great way to increase your knowledge and take in all kinds of cultures．If you get hungry, you can buy food in the food car at any time. If you need to use the ‎ restroom, there is always one available．It sure beats driving the car，which has to stop for food and restrooms．And it is better than taking the bus．‎ ‎32.

Sometimes it seems that you’re not as close to your parents as you used to be. How can you become close again? ‎ Closing the Gap by an American writer, Jay McGraw, gives advice on how to have a better relationship with your parents. 37 When you think, “My parents don't want me to have any fun,” that usually means your parents want you to be safe. ____38 _They need to feel they are important and loved.
