Golden sands and 300 days of sunshine each year mean Barcelona’s shoreline is filled with a heated atmosphere year-round. Here’s our guide to the city’s best beaches.

Bogatell

This beach used to be an industrial wasteland. Sand was imported from Egypt and a center of beach sports was born.

The easy access to two subway stops and the variety of activities make Bogatell a good option for vacationers looking for a more relaxed atmosphere than the packed beaches to the south. At the north end, the Nautica Base offers lessons for windsurfing, kitesurfing and sailing.

Mar Bella

With the cleanest sand and water area in the city, Mar Bella has been appointed as a blue-flag beach. It’s less obviously attached to the city, though still well served by public transport.

Mar Bella also exhibits (展示) another example of the city’s free attitude. On one end of the beach is a rope pyramid (金字塔) for kids and a small playground with a slide.

Sant Sebastia

Sant Sebastia is one of the oldest swimming areas in the city. Its quiet environment and convenience to the center of town draw an older crowd in the morning. By afternoon, the quite crowd gives way to a noisier gathering of younger people.

Llevant

Some special activities make the northernmost beach an ideal destination for a family to spend a full day. In the morning you could hit up the Bose Urba, an adventure park with bungee and rope bridges. A few blocks away, there’s the Museum Blau, a natural science museum where different species of dinosaurs are on show. And a sand-free swimming area called Banys Forum sits just to the north, with steps leading into the water.

21．Which of the following is an ideal place for a tourist to learn surfing lessons?

A．Banys Forum. B．The Bose Urba

C．Sant Sebastia. D．The Nautica Base.

22．What makes Mar Bella differ from the other beaches?

A．The relaxed atmosphere. B．Colorful beach activities.

C．Playing equipment for children. D．Convenient public transport.

23．What can a tourist do in Llevant?

A．Play beach sports. B．Watch a dinosaur display.

C．Swim in the oldest swimming area. D．Enjoy the cleanest beach in Barcelona.

B

A herd of wild Asian elephants shot to worldwide fame while trekking (跋涉) nearly 500km from their habitat in a nature reserve, south of Yunnan province, near the borders with Myanmar and Laos.

China's official news agency, Xinhua reports that there are three calves in the herd. The giant beasts are heading north to the outskirts of the provincial capital, Kunming. They have travelled along highways and through fields of crops over the past few months. A Chinese TV station said that the animals guzzled (暴饮) down the water in a water tank of the village and feasted on kilos of corn in farmers’fields.

In recent years, with fewer herbs (草本植物) for the elephants to eat in the reserve , the creatures have been seen feeding on farmland more frequently.

It is unclear why the animals have migrated so far away from their original habitat. One reason could be a decline in the amount of edible plants in their reserve. Naturally growing supplies of the elephants’favorite foods, such as plume grass, have fallen. Another factor could be a rise in elephant numbers with around 300 up from 193 in the 1980s. A further explanation offered is that the leader elephant could have simply led a wrong way...

To reduce encounters between humans and wild animals, the local authorities developed an app that allows users to identify, locate and track wild elephants

With one click on the app, users can view the location of nearby elephants and make preparations should the animals approach. Work on the district's wild elephant monitoring and early warning system began in November,2019 ,said Tao Qing, director at Xishuangbanna National Nature Reserve

The system has greatly improved the capacity and efficiency of the local response to human elephant conflicts. Moreover , it helps provide an effective scientific basis for better protection and anagement measures and supplies reliable, timely, accurate and complete information support f decision-makers.

24．What do the wild elephants frequently enter villages for?

A．Food. B．Research. C．Pleasure. D．Habitat.

25．Why did the local authorities develop the app?

A．To count up the exact number of elephants in the wild.

B．To reduce conflicts between humans and wild elephants.

C．To make preparations for the approach of wild elephants.

D．To provide timely images of wild elephants in the wild.

26．What is the feature of the wild elephant monitoring and early warning system?

A．Costly. B．Demanding. C．Efficient. D．Complicated.

27．Which of the following may help keep track of wild elephants ?

A．Human Tracking. B．Warning signs.

C．WeChat Moments. D．High-tech monitoring.

C

A new study published this week in the journal Nature Communications has concluded that a 100 percent change to organic (有机的) food production in England and Wales would actually lead to a great increase in greenhouse gas emissions (排放). In turn, this would contribute to further climate change.

Although organic farming directly pours out fewer emissions than conventional farming—around 20 percent lower for crops and 4 percent for farm animals—it produces notably less food. As to this study’s findings, total organic agriculture in England and Wales would produce 40 percent less food. With less food in the market, the countries would need to increase food imports, which would produce more global greenhouse gas emissions.

Organic farming also increases the amount of absorbing carbon, a process where carbon dioxide (CO2) is “absorbed” out of the atmosphere and captured by plants and stored in the soil. However, even a total change to organic farming would only be equal to a tiny part of the higher emissions from overseas land use.

“We predict a drop in total food production of 40 percent under a fully organic farming process, compared to conventional farming, if we keep to the same national diet,” Dr Adrian Williams, lead author and reader in Agri-Environmental Systems at Cranfield University, said in a statement. “This results from lower crop quantity, because output is limited by a lower supply of nitrogen, which is mainly from other crops or solid waste from cattle on the grassland.”

Nevertheless, it is important to note that organic farming still holds some useful benefits for the environment, such as reducing exposure to chemicals and improving the varieties of creatures. In conclusion, the study suggests that organic farming will continue to play a key role in resolving the world’s environmental problems. However, it’s just one part of a much wider solution.

28．What will total organic agriculture bring to England?

A．More main food. B．More species crop.

C．More food imports. D．More fresh oxygen.

29．How does organic farming increase the amount of absorbing carbon?

A．By taking in CO2. B．By changing CO2.

C．By giving off CO2. D．By producing CO2.

30．What is the last paragraph mainly about?

A．The ways to reduce organic farming. B．The results caused by organic farming.

C．The solution to the environment problems. D．The advantages of organic farming.

31．Which of the following is the best title of the text?

A．Organic farming, green food B．Organic farming, our hope in future

C．Organic farming, a mistake we made D．Organic farming, a double-edged sword

Chased by a Flash Flood

It was late afternoon. The weather had been nearly perfect. Christina and I decided to hike to Acomat Falls.

It was around 4 p. m. when we reached the falls—a 30-foot barrel of whitewater shooting over the basin. We dove into the green pool and floated on our backs, looking up at the canyon (峡谷)walls.

By 4:30, We knew we needed to head back to the car before dark, but I was waist deep in the river trying to photograph the falls, the hanging vines, and the dreaminess of the place. Christina was sitting on a stone above the basin. I finally got a good shot—and then she screamed.

With a crack like thunder, a wall of brown water rushed over the top of the falls, carrying fragments of trees and plants with it. Flash flood. I jumped out of the river seconds before the flood crashed over the spot where I’d just been standing. Christina scrambled barefoot off the boulder (巨石)toward higher ground.

Christina led us through dense brush, prickly (多刺的)trees, and ankle-deep mud. When we’d climbed 200 feet, we stopped to catch our breath. Now we had a different problem: The trail and the road were on the other side of the swollen river. We were stuck in the canopy (顶棚).

Then the sky opened up. Christina asked if I had my phone. It was wet, but still blinked on. No service. We decided to move toward higher ground to get a better signal. It was almost dark. For a moment, the phone connected, and I heard the faint voice of Mae, our vacation rental host. She said she’d call for help. Then the phone went silent.

注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；

Dear Sally

I'm writing to tell you about my ideas about taking part in various camp activities.

In my opinion, it is beneficial for us. Take myself as an example. I took part in an International English Summer Camp last year. For one thing, I made a lot of friends from different parts of the world, through whom I learned more about different cultures. For another thing, the activities including English corner, English drama plays and the like also changed me a lot. There is no doubt that all these activities can not only help us learn more skills but improve our English.

So, why not join them? Wish you a nice holiday.

Yours,

Li Hua

67．【参考范文】

We had no idea whether rescuers could reach us. We told each other not to panic as night set in. Christina found a tree which we used as a shelter from the rain. I tried to send more texts to Mae, but most of them bounced back undeliverable. There was nothing we could do but wait. We’d been trapped for nearly four hours. Tremblingly, we gathered closer for warmth. Gradually, it grew dark.

After another hour, we saw faint lights across the canyon. My wet phone had begun to lose function, but the flashlight still worked. I turned it on and shone it at the canopy above as a signal. Shortly after, I heard the blades of a helicopter. In minutes, the trees were thrashing in the wind generated by the aircraft. A police appeared through the canopy, and then a rescuer. We were safe and felt happy.It was this unique experience that made me deeply understand whatever difficulty we may face, we cannot give up our hope.
