It is well attended by tourists, but even better attended by locals.‎ During the opening ceremonies, after the official greetings from the government leaders, people who attend the festival begin to march smartly before the viewing stands, and white camels transport their riders across the sands. Horsemen from different nations display their beautiful ‎ clothes and their fine horsemanship. One following another, groups of musicians and dancers from all over the Sahara take their turn to show off their wonderful traditional culture. Groups of men in blue and yellow play horns and beat drums as they dance in different designs. On their knees in the sand, a group of women in long dark dresses dance with their hair: their long, dark, shiny hair is thrown back and forth in the wind to the rhythm of their dance.‎ The local and visiting Italian dogs are anxious to run after hares. The crowd is on its feet for the camel races. Camels and riders run far into the distance, and then return to the finish line in front of the cheering people.‎ Towards the evening, there comes the grand finale of the opening day, an extremely exciting horserace. All the riders run very fast on horseback. Some riders hang off the side of their saddles. Some even ride upside down — their legs and feet straight up in the air — all at full speed.

Or could we create a physical store where customers could simply take what they want and go? Our answer to those questions is Amazon Go, where you could experience the idea of “just walk out shopping”.‎ Amazon Go is a new kind of store with no checkout required. We created the world’s most advanced shopping technology, so you never have to wait in line. With our “just walk out shopping” experience, simply use the Amazon Go app to enter the store, take the products you want, and go! No lines, no checkout.‎ Our checkout-free shopping experience is made possible by the same types of technologies used in self-driving cars: computer vision, sensor fusion, and deep learning. Our “just walk out technology” automatically detects when products are taken from or returned to the shelves and keeps track of them in your virtual cart（虚拟购物车）. When you’ve done shopping, you can just leave the store. Shortly after, we’ll charge your Amazon account and send you a receipt.‎ We offer delicious ready-to-eat breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snack options made fresh every day by our on-site chefs and favorite local kitchens and bakeries. Our selection of foodstuff ranges from bread and milk to cheeses and locally made chocolates. You’ll find well-known brands we love, plus special finds we’re excited to introduce to customers. For a quick home-cooked dinner, pick up one of our chef-designed Amazon Meal Kits, and you can make a meal for two in about 30 minutes.‎ Our 1,800-square-foot shopping space is conveniently compact(紧凑的), so busy customers can get in and out fast. It is located at 2131, 7th Ave, Seattle, WA, on the corner of 7th Avenue and Blanchard Street.

Essentially, dry ice is frozen CO2. The first report of what we now call dry ice came from the French chemist Charles Thilorier in 1834. In 1924, the Drylee Corporation of America named the solid form of CO2 as "Dry Ice", which is what it is popularly called today.‎ At normal atmospheric pressure, CO2changes directly from solid to gas. It skips the liquid phase（阶段）which makes regular ice wet. Frozen CO2is also much colder than regular ice. But regular ice freezes at 32 degrees Fahrenheit, CO2 changes from gas to solid at -109.3 degrees Fahrenheit. This extremely cold temperature makes it very dangerous to handle with bare hands. It can cause frostbite in a very short period of time.‎ Dry ice has been used for a variety of purposes throughout the past century. Its primary use is to refrigerate food when electrical refrigeration isn't available. Through the process of sublimation (when CO2 changes from solid to gas), it can maintain cold food for a long time.‎ If you've ever been to a play and seen heavy fog on the ground, it is likely that you have seen dry ice in action. This effect can be achieved because CO2 is heavier than air, so evaporated （挥发的）CO2 will sink and accumulate on the ground.‎ Another interesting use for this substance is to bait（诱杀）insects like mosquitoes. These insects have sensors which guide them to CO2. They find the high concentration of CO‎2 in dry ice quite attractive.‎ Mars has long been a mystery for human beings. We have been looking for evidence of life on Mars. In the 1960s scientists guessed that the polar ice cap of Mars was made of frozen CO2.‎ ‎ More recent observations have shown that while the topmost layer consists of frozen CO2, the most of it is probably regular frozen water.‎ ‎32．Frozen CO2 gets its name of "Dry Ice" mainly because A. we can't melt it and it doesn't get wet B. it is very easy to make it dry C. it looks like ice at a low temperature D. it is solid like ice at -109.3 degrees Fahrenheit ‎33．The underlined word "frostbite" in the second paragraph probably means A. the shakes caused by cold B. damage caused by freezing C. a fever caused by being cold D. a sharp pain caused by bums ‎34．According to the passage, dry ice can be used to _____.‎ A. freeze most of food in the next century B. increase the production of farming C. make a vivid fog effect on stages D. help to improve the environment ‎35．What does the last paragraph mainly tell us?‎ A. Dry ice on Mars is near the polar.‎ B. Not much dry ice has been found on Mars.‎ C. The polar ice cap of Mars is unique.‎ D. No frozen CO2 on Mars can be melt. ‎ 第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并答在答题卡上。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ While it is impossible to live completely free of stress, it is possible to prevent stress as well as reduce its effect when it can’t be avoided. The US Department of Health and Human Services offers the following suggestions for ways to deal with stress.‎ ‎●Try physical activity.‎ When you are nervous, angry or upset, try releasing (释放) the pressure through exercise or physical activity. 36．‎ ‎●Take care of yourself.‎ You should make every effort to eat well and get enough rest. If you easily get angry and cannot sleep well enough, or if you’re not eating properly, it will be more likely that you will fall into ‎ situations of stress. 37．‎ ‎●Make time for yourself.‎ ‎38． Don’t forget, play can be just as important as work. You need a break from your daily routine to just relax and have fun. Go window-shopping or work on a hobby. Allow yourself at least a half hour each day to do something you enjoy.‎ ‎● 39 ．‎ Stress can result from disorganization (杂乱无章) and a feeling that “there’s so much to do ,and not enough time.” Trying to take care of everything at once can be too much for you and, as a result , you may not achieve anything. Instead, make a list of everything you have to do, then do one thing at a time. 40． Set out to do the most important tasks first.‎ A. Bear in mind the most important task.‎ B. Schedule time for both work and play.‎ C. Check off each task as it is completed.‎ D. Make a list of the things you need to do.‎ E. For example, you could take your job as your hobby.‎ F.
