Surrounded by white sandy shorelines and vivid coral reefs, Nikoi’s centre is hidden in rainforest, resulting in amazing biodiversity seen in its native plants, animals and bird life. Marrying traditional Indonesian craftsmanship with contemporary design, Nikoi boasts just 15 stilted（建于支柱上的）beach houses, all with breathtaking sea views, guaranteeing privacy and total escape from the daily routine.‎ Amanpulo, Philippines The only property on Pamalican Island, the luxurious Amanpulo resort offers extremely impressive accommodation, with only access to over five kilometres of clean ‎ coral sand beach. Designed to resemble local Bahay Kubo homes, Amanpulo’s beachside, treetop and hillside villas all feature comfortable decks（木质平台）with hammocks（吊床）from which to enjoy the spectacular views of the greenish-blue sea below. Fill your schedule with Amanpulo’s signature adventures (including diving, windsurfing and sailing), recharge in the award-winning spa or feast on locally caught seafood-the choice is yours.‎ Song Saa, Cambodia Song Saa’s incredible ocean views, and breathtaking sunsets are a very typical example of pure paradise. Its 24 villas—each with their own sea-view private plunge pool-are designed to reflect the natural beauty of Cambodia’s coastline; built from recycled wood with straw roofs and driftwood furnishings, these presences are stylish proof of Song Saa’s admirable commitment to sustainability and conservation. You can choose to do as much or as little as you want here. With rainforest tours, island safaris and reef snorkeling（徒手潜水）, it just offers some of the activities that show this spectacular destination.‎ ‎21. What can we see in the center of Nikoi Island?‎ A.

Straw roofs.‎ C. Sunsets. D. Reef snorkeling.‎ B Joanna Cole, born on August 11, 1944 in Newark, New Jersey, has been credited to be one of the most popular children’s authors of all time. She has written over 250 books and is famous for writing one of the most popular children's book series.‎ ‎ She knew as early as 5th grade that she was interested in writing and science. Cole has owed a large part of her passion to one of her elementary school teachers.‎ Joanna Cole continued her education by attending the University of Massachusetts and Indiana. She would eventually earn a bachelor’s degree in psychology from the City College of New York in 1967; after graduation Cole decided to take some education courses to become a librarian at a Brooklyn elementary school in 1967. Eventually, she would take jobs working for Newsweek, Seesaw book club.‎ Cole’s passion for writing and science was still alive and well during this time. In 197l she decided to write her first book, Cockroaches. She did some research and discovered there had never been a book written for children about cockroaches. So she thought she would be the first.‎ Cole struck gold when she wrote the first Magic School Bus in 1985. The book would go on to be published the following year and quickly became book series and cartoon series due to its success.‎ Cole continued to write both non-fiction and fiction books for children. She writes in a way that will hopefully inspire children to think like a scientist. She does this by writing ideas instead of just facts. She also tries to ask questions in her books that require children to think and discover the answers as they read. This creates an engaging experience for children, so it is no wonder why younger readers are hooked on her books.‎ ‎24. When Joanna Cole was young, she ________.‎ A. was very popular with children B. got inspired by one of her teachers C. began her career of writing novels D. knew what she would do in the future ‎25. What does the underlined phrase probably mean?‎ A. Made a fortune. B. Made a promise.‎ C. Got ideas. D. Obtained help.‎ ‎26. What do we know about Joanna Cole?‎ A. She is the most famous woman writer in America.‎ B. She writes novels not only for kids but for adults.‎ C. She is an expert at getting science across to readers.‎ D. She has made great contributions to science.‎ ‎27. What kind of person is Cole in the passage?‎ A. Positive and brave. B. Popular and reliable.‎ C. Serious and honest. D. Talented and creative.‎ C Flat Holm, a small island in Britain's Bristol Channel, has no permanent residents and minimal infrastructure（设施）. The pretty land mass is now, however, becoming increasingly popular with tourists wishing to explore the rural landscape and view the island’s seabird colonies.‎ Though this is welcome news, meeting the island's growing energy needs without ruining its environment poses a challenge. Flat Holm team leader Natalie Taylor says, “As we promote the island more and we get more visitors here, there’s going to be a lot more demand for electricity so it’s really important that we’ve got a really high functioning system that can provide for those people. From an environmental point of view, we want to reduce the use of diesel（柴油）generators so that we can have as small ecological footprints as possible.”‎ While the Cardiff Council, which oversees the island, considered traditional solar and hydroelectricity, it was reluctant to carry out either, due to their high cost and permanent nature. According to energy and sustainability manager Gareth Harcombe, the officials were seeking a portable option that could be moved if the site was needed for another purpose.‎ Fortunately, the UK-based company Renovagen had the perfect solution. A small panel can provide 11kW of power within two minutes. A more extensive version, unrolled from a shipping container, can yield 300kW of electricity in less than an hour.‎ The solar panel “carpets”, laid on the island in early October, are being used to provide electricity to its sole pub and lighthouse. The Cardiff Council also plans to use them to charge two Nissan e-NV200 electric vehicles in the future.‎ In addition to providing power to remote islands like Flat Holm, Hingley hopes ‎ the Rapid Roll technology will be useful in areas affected by natural disasters. A good example is Puerto Rico, where most residents have been without electricity since Hurricane Maria destroyed the power lines in late September.‎ ‎28. What is badly in need on Flat Holm?‎ A. Tourists. B. Electricity. C. Seabirds. D. Scenery.‎ ‎29. What does the underlined word “reluctant” in Paragraph 3 mean?‎ A. Unwilling. B. Inconvenient. C. Unimportant. D. Helpless.‎ ‎30. What does the author think of Renovagen’s solution?‎ A. Excellent. B. Unique. C. Strange. D. Common.‎ ‎31. What’s the best title for the passage?‎ A. Flat Holm-a Small Island in Britain B. More Tourists Start to Crowd in Flat Holm C. Portable Solar Panels Put to Test on Flat Holm Island D. Lack of Electricity Prevents the Development of Flat Holm D It’s common knowledge that sleep problems can be caused by things such as stress, anxiety, or even using a smartphone before bedtime. But recently, a team of researchers discovered that genes could also be a cause of sleepless nights.‎ The scientists, from Rockefeller University in New York, US, found that delayed sleep phase disorder（DSPD，睡眠相位后移综合症）, a condition that affects one's sleeping patterns, is passed down via a mutated（突变的）gene. DSPD sufferers wake up later and go to bed later than the average person. To come to their conclusion, the team studied a 46-year-old woman who is only usually able to fall asleep at 2 or 3 in the morning. It was discovered that the woman’s body produces the hormone that helps her sleep at night up to 7 hours later than regular sleepers. The scientists found this was caused by a mutation in one of the woman’s genes, one that helps regulate the “body clock”.‎ Some of the woman’s family members were also found to share the same mutation—and the same sleeping problems –leading the scientists to believe that sleep troubles are passed down through the generations.‎ However, having this mutation doesn’t mean you automatically have sleep problems. The team also found two people who had the mutation but reported no problems with their sleep.‎ But while this is an interesting discovery, it offers no help to those who can't fall asleep at night—although there are a few things you could try to help you sleep earlier.‎ BBC journalist Michael Mosley produced a TV documentary in May in which he talked about his battle with insomnia（失眠）and the techniques he used. “I avoid social media for at least an hour before bed, I do mindfulness exercises, and if I wake up in the middle of the night, I read a book for an hour or so,” he wrote in an article for the Radio Times.‎ ‎32. What caused the 46-year-old woman to sleep at 2 in the morning?‎ A. Bad eating habits. B. Her sleeping habits.‎ C. A mutation in her genes. D. Some unknown disease.‎ ‎33. What can we learn about the mutation of the gene related to sleep?‎ A. It will delay sleep for seven hours.‎ B. It doesn’t necessarily cause sleep problems.‎ C. It will be passed down to every future generation.‎ D. It can be modified to help solve sleep problems.‎ ‎34. What does Michael Mosley suggest doing before sleep to fight against insomnia?‎ A. Listening to light music. B. Reading interesting books.‎ C. Keeping away from social media. D. Doing some outdoor exercises.‎ ‎35. What’s the main purpose of the article?‎ A. To give advice on how to cure insomnia.‎ B. To explain different reasons for sleep problems.‎ C. To warn readers of the bad influences of sleeping late.‎ D. To report the discovery of a genetic cause of sleep problems.‎ 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。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ How to Be Healthy and Happy We all want to be healthy, happy, free of stress and more productive in life.‎ ‎1.
