If you decide to see the northern lights, consider heading to Canada, where they fill the sky 300 days
a year in certain regions.
Yukon
With its sweeping landscapes and dramatic mountain views, Yukon is an outdoor lover’s dreamland.

combine outdoor activities like boating along the storied Yukon River with northern light watching.
B
．
It provides free coffee. C
．
It is easy to get lost.
Churchill
Home to wolves, foxes, whales, moose and snowy owls, Churchill is well known for its arctic
wildlife. It also sees an average of 300 nights of northern light activity every year. With over a week
in the wild, there’s a good chance you’ll spot the lights.
Nunavik
Nunavik is Quebec’s northernmost region and one of four areas in Canada. It is home to the
country’s Inuit people. By day, travelers canoe or snowmobile to Vieux Fort-Chimo, a 19th-century
fur trading post; hear elders tell stories of a nomadic (
游牧的
) way of life; and listen to traditional
throat singing, or katadjak — all led by an Inuit guide. Under inky skies, the guide offers Inuit
insights into the meaning of the light.
Jasper
Located in the Rocky Mountains, Jasper is home to the world’s second-largest dark sky preserve,
making it one of the best — and most convenient — places to catch northern lights throughout the
year.
An especially great time to visit is during the annual Jasper Dark Sky Festival in October when
experienced photographers from around the world host workshops to share their best tips and
astronomers explain how to interpret space weather data to determine optimal viewing time.
21. When should you go if you want to combine outdoor activities with light shows in Yukon?

．
The diversity of wildlife.
My first job at KCRW was Ruth Seymour’s assistant. Soon after, I became Assistant General
Manager and worked closely with her for 16 years. Therefore, I have had the opportunity to observe
her and the enormous impact she had on KCRW and the other radio stations.
Ruth did nothing conventionally and nothing she created was a reaction to anything. She created
KCRW not to gain the most listeners or to win any awards but to be an intellectual force for arts,
culture and smart ideas. She wanted to start the conversation, not just contribute to it.
Ruth had the highest artistic standards, which is why KCRW aired radio dramas like the 10-hour
Babbitt and 30-hour Ulysses. She created Jewish Short Stories From Eastern Europe and Beyond in
two audio collections that featured famous actors reading the work of Jewish authors like Sholem
Aleichem, Philip Roth and Isaac Bashevis Singer. KCRW sold more of those collections than
anything else in our history.
B
．
Interactions with the locals.
D
．
The chance to meet professionals.
Ruth went to a newsstand every day and read articles from New York Times, word for word, on the
air at noon because ordinary people couldn’t easily get that paper then. She discovered people who
matched her intellect at dinners or parties and gave them on-air shows on journalism, literature, film,
art, theater, travel, dance or music.
She said it best, “I wanted to do the program as an act of love and respect.”
When she came to KCRW in 1977, she found herself building the station in a junior high classroom
right off the playground. Now KCRW could be heard across Los Angeles. Most powerfully, the
radio format(
总体安排
) she created continues to be used by radio stations—news of the day, debates
of ideas, art, artists, food, literature and film.
Outspoken and fearless women leaders were rare in the 1960s and 1970s—in fact, women couldn’t
get credit cards apart from their husbands until 1974—which is why her achievements are so
singular.
24. Why did Ruth broadcast Ulysses and Babbitt?
A
．
The listeners loved them.
B
．
They were award-winning works.
C
．
The authors were her friends.
D
．
They were artistically important.
25. What does the sixth paragraph mainly focus on?
A
．
Ruth’s widely-felt influence
B
．
Ruth’s hard working conditions.
C
．
Inspiration of Ruth’s programs.
D
．
The variety of Ruth’s radio formats.
26. What does the word “singular”, underlined in the last paragraph mean?
A
．
Strange. B
．
Reproducible. C
．
Remarkable. D
．
Lasting.
27. How is the text mainly developed?
A
．
By making comparisons.
C
．
By following time order.
Imagine a school where students are taught by the best teachers in every subject, regardless of
locations. Imagine a school where children can go on safe field trips to the Amazon rainforest or
Everest base camp. Well, such schools are already being built: in virtual reality(VR).
Last month, Optima Academy Online (OAO) was launched in Florida and started to deliver courses
for elementary, middle and high schools and 170 full-time students from all over the state signed up.
B
．
By listing examples.
D
．
By conducting surveys.
They used VR headsets for about three hours a day for formal lessons and then do course work
independently with digital check-ins.
It is worth watching how such educational experiments develop. Used properly, the VR technology
can help students to access learning resources and be connected with fellow students and teachers all
over the world. But if employed poorly, it will have the opposite effect and turn a digital inequality
into an educational one.
There is growing evidence to suggest that it is happening. In Mexico, according to a survey, only
24% of 15-year-old students in poor schools have access to home computers for schoolwork
compared with 87% in rich ones. As reported in another study, some students in northern England
have been forced to travel around on the Greater Manchester train network or camp out around
McDonald’s to access free WiFi because they cannot do their schoolwork at home.
“VR technologies will be widely used in education. The only questions are: for what purpose and at
what speed?” says Beeban Kidron, a member of the UK’s Digital Futures Commission. “The trouble
is that they are too often seen as a shiny new toy that will solve all problems and save money rather
than being viewed as a means to enrich learning.”
The inescapable truth is that there is nothing that can replace teachers educating students in safe
schools—ideally, with access to well-designed technological platforms. Leaving children in their
bedrooms with just VR headsets and no physical social interaction with other kids will fill-many of
them—and their parents—with horror.
28. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 1?
A
．
Lead in the subject for discussion.
B
．
Provide some advice for the readers.
C
．
Show the advantages of VR headsets.
D
．
Introduce an unsuccessful online school.
29. Why do those students travel on trains or camp out around McDonald’s?
A
．
To relax themselves.
C
．
To make their study fun
B
．
To enrich their learning.
D
．
To get free WiFi service.
30. According to Beeban Kidron, VR technologies___________.
A
．
will replace traditional learning
C
．
will become a very helpful tool
B
．
are the future of education
D
．
are a means to save money
31. Which word can best describe the author’s attitude to OAO?
A
．
Supportive
If you spend more than a couple of days in the country of Georgia, you are very likely to be invited
to a Georgian feast even by complete strangers. The multi-hour, multi-course feast is one of the most
important events in Georgian culture.
B
．
Disapproving. C
．
Doubtful. D
．
Unclear.
A popular Georgian story shows the importance of the feast in Georgian culture. When God created
the world, He held a meeting to give the different regions of the world to different cultures. But the
Georgians arrived late at the meeting. After they apologized and explained that they’d been holding
a feast with a stranger the night before and slept later than they’d meant to, God was so touched and
impressed by their honesty that He gave the Georgians the best land of all: the part of earth He was
saving for himself.
In order to survive the feasts without offending (
冒犯
) the hosts, it’s important for you to know a
few things about it in advance.
A Georgian feast will likely have a seemingly unlimited number of dishes. So avoid fully cleaning
your plate unless you want more servings. Don’t fill up on khachapuri-Georgian cheese bread. There
are numerous regional varieties of cheese bread, but khachapuri is the most delicious of all. The
cheese bread is usually a heavy lunch on its own, but at feasts it’s often considered a side dish or an
appetent. Don’t make the mistake of having more than a few bites—only to discover that the main
meal is still coming.
When you drink, follow the lead of the toastmaster, who presents a scries of toasts throughout the
evening. Traditionally, drinkers would dry their glass (or, if keeping with tradition, drain their deer’s
horn) with every toast. This isn’t always done now. Just remember the important rule: say “cheers”
after every toast.
Consider bringing a small gift, such as sweets or flowers, as a gesture of thanks. Avoid bringing
more fond, however, which might imply that you don’t think there will be enough on offer.
32. What can be most probably inferred from the story?
A
．
Georgia is short of natural resources
B
．
Most of the Georgians are lazy and wasteful.
C
．
The Georgian people are very honest and friendly.
D
．
It is important to go to a meeting on time in Georgia.
33. What can we know about khachapuri?
A
．
It is not a main dish at feasts at all.
B
．
Georgians usually have it for breakfast.
C
．
It is one of the unique Georgian drinks.
D
．
Many regional varieties are based on it.
34. What is the author most likely to suggest visitors do?
A
．
Drink all the wine every time.
B
．
Take some small gifts with them.
C
．
Clean the plate after each serving.
D
．
Bring some special food to the feast.
