8.Trip to Alaska National Parks
This four-day train trip,which traverses  both Denali and Kenai Fjords National Parks,allows for true appreciation of Alaska's natural beauty.The route takes in peaks and forests,including a stop at the foot of 20,320-foot-high Mount McKinley,North America's tallest mountain.Though the train has comfortable seating and a luxurious dining car,nights are spent at off-train lodging like the Grande Denali Lodge and Hotel Alyeska in Girdwood.
India Tour,Maharajas'Express
Maharajas'Express is the most luxurious train in the world.Started in 2010,and limited to 88 passengers on each trip,the train features luxurious private suites with marble baths and panoramic(全景)windows.On the five-day,four-night trip,which starts and ends in Delhi,passengers make stops to visit the splendid Taj Mahal at Agra,take a tiger safari at Ranthambore National Park,and shop and watch an elephant-polo match in Jaipur.
Tales of Laos Tour,Eastern & Oriental Express
The sister train to Europe's Venice Simplon Orient-Express,the Eastern & Oriental Express offers the same level of service and comfort.What's completely different about the Eastern,of course,is the scenery that passengers can see through the train's large windows.Among the attractive sights on the four-day,three-night Tales of Laos Tour are green rice paddies(水稻梯田)and locals riding elephants.
Cuzco to Machu Picchu Route,Hiram Bingham
The Hiram Bingham,a train operating in Peru,leads guests on a magical day trip from Cuzco to the ruins of Machu Picchu.During the three-hour trip-which covers about 50 miles-the train winds through the thick jungle,alongside the rapids of the Urubamba River and across two high mountains.Once it arrives at the city of Machu Picchu,passengers get a five-hour tour through the fascinating site before heading back to Cuzco.

10.We have met the enemy,and he is ours.We bought him at a pet shop.When monkey-pox,a disease usually found in the African rain forest,suddenly turns up in children in the American Midwest,it's hard not to wonder if the disease that comes from foreign animals is homing in on human beings."Most of the infections(感染) we think of as human infections staned in other animals,"says Stephen Morse,director of the Center for Public Health Preparedness at Columbia University.
It's not just that we're going to where the animals are;we're also bringing them closer to us.Popular foreign pets have brought a whole new disease to this country.A strange illness killed Isaksen's pets,and she now thinks that keeping foreign pets is a bad idea."I don't think it's fair to have them as pets when we have such a limited knowledge of them,"says Isaksen.
"Laws allowing these animals to be brought in from deep forest areas without stricter control need changing,"says Peter Schantz.Monkey-pox may be the wake-up call.Researchers believe infected animals may infect their owners.We know very little about these new diseases. A new bug(病毒) may be kind at first.But it may develop into something harmful,(有害的). Monkey-pox doesn't look a major infectious disease.But it is not.impossible to pass the disease from person to person.

29.We learn from Paragraph l that the pet sold at the shop mayB.
A.come from Columbia       
B.suffer from monkey-pox
C.enjoy being with children   
D.prevent us from being infected
30.Why did Isaksen advise people not to have foreign pets?A
A.We do not know much about them yet.
B.We need to study native animals.
C.They can't live out of the rain forest.
D.They attack human beings.
31.What does the phrase"the wake-up call''in Paragraph 3 most probably mean?C
A.a new disease        
B.a dangerous animal
C.a clear warning       
D.a morning call
32.The text suggests that in the future we.B
A.may easily get infected by diseases from dogs
B.may have to fight against more new diseases

3.What is the most popular way to travel in the whole world,not counting a human being's two legs?You say by car?No.Train?Wrong again.Airplane?I'm sorry,but you're not even close.The most popular way of going from one place to another is by bicycle.And it is a surprise to most Americans.After all,we see thousands of cars each day.We don't see nearly as many bikes.
In the United States most bike riders are either young people or adults bicycling for exercise.About nine million bikes are sold in America each year.Nearly three million are sold to adults.The rest are to children.But in the rest of the world,far more people use the bike as their main way of traveling.They ride bikes to work,to school,and to stores.
Bicycles have been around for a long time-about 300 years.You would not like to ride around on those early bikes,though.They didn't have any pedals (脚蹬).The riders had to push along with their feet.And this bike only went straight ahead.There was no way to turn the front wheel.If the rider wanted to change direction,he or she had to get off and move the bicycle.When pedals were put on the front wheels,riding became easier.The most popular kind of bike in the late 1800s had a very high front wheel and a small back wheel.It was a long fall to the ground!
Another problem was that there were no rubber tires (橡胶轮胎).It's no wonder that one bike was called the"Boneshaker."Then in the 1880s,air-filled rubber tires were put on the bicycle's wheels.Since then the bicycle has not changed very much.Of course bikes come in different shapes and colors now,but the main design is still the same.
29.Compared with those in America,bikes in the rest of the worldB.
A.are much cheaper            
B.enjoy greater popularity
C.are mainly used by children    
D.are mainly used to do exercise
30.Why did people dislike riding early bikes?C
A.They were too large.
B.They were dangerous.
C.They were hard to control.
D.They were too high for many people.
31.The underlined word"Boneshaker"in the last paragraph shows the bike wasA.
A.old            B.Slow      C.broken            D.uncomfortable
32.The author wrote this text mainly toD.
A.warn readers about bicycle safety    
B.introduce the new shapes of bicycles
C.encourage readers to bicycle for exercise
D.inform readers about the history of bicycles.

17.Your glasses may someday replace your smartphone,and some New Yorkers are ready for the switch.Some in the city can't wait to try them on and use the maps and GPS that the futuristic eyewear is likely to include.
"I'd use it if I were hanging out with friends at 3a.m.and going to the bar and wanted to see what was open,"said Walter Choo,40,of Fort Greene.
The smartphone-like glasses will likely come out this year and cost between﹩250and﹩600,the Times said,possibly including a variation of augmented(增强的) reality,a technology already available on smartphones and tablets (平板电脑) that overlays information onto the screen about one's surroundings.So,for example,if you were walking down a street,indicators would pop up showing you the nearest coffee shop or directions could be plotted out and come into view right on the sidewalk in front of you.
"As far as a mainstream consumer product,this just isn't something anybody needs,"said Sam Biddle,who writes for Gizmodo.com."We're accustomed to having one thing in our pocket to do all these things,"he added,"and the average consumer isn't gonna be able to afford another device (装置) that's hundreds and hundreds of dollars."
Google publisher Seth Weintraub,who has been reporting on the smartphone-like glasses since late last year,said he is confident that this type of wearable device will eventually be as common as smartphones.
"It's just like smartphones 10years ago,"Weintraub said."A few people started getting emails on their phones,and people thought that was crazy.Same kind of thing.We see people bending their heads to look at their smartphones,and it's unnatural,"he said."There's gonna be improvements to that,and this a step there."

29.One of the possible functions of the smartphone-like glasses is toC.
A.program the opening hours of a bar
B.supply you with a picture of the future
C.provide information about your surroundings
D.update the maps and GPS in your smartphones
30.The underlined phrase"pop up"in the third paragraph probably means"C".
A.develop rapidly
B.get round quickly
C.appear immediately
D.go over automatically
31.According to Sam Biddle,the smartphone-like glasses areD.
A.necessary for teenagers
B.attractive to New Yorkers
C.available to people worldwide
D.expensive for average consumers
32.We can learn from the last two paragraphs that the smartphone-like glassesA.
A.may have a potential market
B.are as common as smartphones
C.are popular among young adults
D.will be improved by a new technology.
