Dancing until yu drp is a well-knwn saying, but wuld yu really be able t dance until yu drpped dead? In 1374, in sme Eurpean twns, peple did exactly that. They were struck by a dancing plague (瘟疫) that frced them t dance.
This phenmenn (现象) was reprted t have happened thrughut parts f Western Eurpe, affecting peple frm the 14th t the 17th century. Hardly stpping t eat r even sleep, they wuld dance, smetimes fr days n end, making this ne f the strangest sicknesses in Western histry.
Over the next century, there were nly a few utbreaks. Hwever, in the summer f 1518, it reappeared in the city f Strasburg, France. It all began with a wman called Mrs. Trffea, wh started t dance crazily in the street.

As the plague wrsened, cncerned nbles (贵族) turned t the advice f lcal dctrs, wh said that the plague was a “natural disease” caused by “ht bld.” S the nbles encuraged mre dancing.
The reasn behind their actins was they believed the dancers culd nly recver (康复) if they danced cntinuusly night and day. The nbles even paid fr musicians t keep the mving.
Then, as befre, it disappeared almst as suddenly as it had cme.
While these events may sund highly unbelievable, there is clear written evidence that it did happen.

Steel Vengeance, a wrld-recrd-breaking hybrid rller caster (过山车), recently made its first public appearance at Cedar Pint Amusement Park in Sandusky, Ohi.
The ride is cnstructed frm bth wd and steel (钢). A steel running track n a huge wden base allws the ride t prvide the types f twists (扭转) and turns that are nt pssible n wden rller casters.
Steel Vengeance breaks ten wrld recrds, including tallest, fastest, and lngest hybrid rller caster. “It is just a rller caster that yu want t ride again and again,” said Tny Clark, directr f cmmunicatins at Cedar Pint. The 90-degree, 200-ft drp n the first hill takes yur breath away.
At a recent event at Cedar Pint, I experienced the excitement f the new ride first-hand. Thanks t my strng heart, I had a really cl time!
THE MAKING OF VENGEANCE
“The biggest part f making a rller caster is planning it,” Clark said.
Jasn McClure, general manager f Cedar Pint, added: “We have t get a main idea f the basics f the caster and then plan a budget (预算).”
WOOD, STEEL, AND HARD WORK
Rcky Muntain Cnstructin designed and built Steel Vengeance. Abut 1.2 millin punds f steel and 1.4 millin bards f wd were used t build the ride.
Fred Grubb, c-funder f Rcky Muntain, nted that “peple wh design rller casters fr my cmpany have t have first-hand experience building things with their hands, nt just hld an engineering degree. When yu have built things fr yurself, yu get it, and understand what will wrk.”
Clark was pleased with the results. “We at Cedar Pint are s happy with hw Steel Vengeance turned ut,” he said.
McClure added: “What we put int this rller caster was wd, steel, and a lt f hard wrk.”
28. What can we learn abut Steel Vengeance?
A. It is ging thrugh tests.
B. It belngs t Rcky Muntain.
C. It is made frm bth steel and wd.
D. It was mainly designed by Fred Grubb.
29. What advantage des Steel Vengeance have ver wden rller casters?
A. It will last lnger.
B. It cst less mney.
C. It tk less time t build.
D. It ffers mre kinds f twists.
30. Hw did the authr feel n Steel Vengeance?
A. Wrried.
B. Excited.
C. Frightened.
D. Shcked.
31. Peple wh design rller casters fr Rcky Muntain must _____.
A. hld an arts degree
B. be rller caster lvers

There’s a small prblem with a wrking hliday: wrking.
It seems like a fantastic idea. Yu picture yurself learning a freign culture, meeting lcals and making friends. What yu dn’t picture is the actual wrk.
Sme peple manage t keep a fine balance between wrking and hlidaying. I’ve met plenty f wrking hlidaymakers wh are hlding high-paying jbs that nt nly allw them t live in style, but that they als enjy. Great.
Fr mst wrking hlidaymakers, hwever, that’s a daydream. Yu’re nt wrking verseas t further yur career — yu’re wrking verseas t further yur travelling expenses. And besides, mst serius emplyers will take ne lk at that year-lng visa (签证), and laugh yu ut f the building.
S yu end up ding sme f the jbs I’ve dne.
Fruit picking. I did mine in the nrth f Sctland, which wasn’t satisfying, given it’s a place with a summer in name nly.
Strawberries are a pain. It’s a case f bending yur back fr abut eight hurs straight. Lettuces aren’t much better. Again, mre back bending.
Is picking fruit a nice way t spend a hliday? N.
S I became a line ck at a restaurant in Edinburgh. There, because there were n frmal training systems in Sctland, I was handed a white jacket and referred t as a “chef (厨师)”. And as a “chef”, I wuld pull ut bxes f frzen chicken tikka masala (冷冻香料烤鸡咖喱), putting them in the micrwave until they were just s.
Again, nt what yu’d call a fun way t spend a hliday.
S when yu’re planning a wrking hliday, it’s wrth thinking abut what yu’re actually ging t be ding, since that’s hw yu’ll spend yur time while yu’re away.
Is it ging t be enjyable? Will yu be able t meet peple, make friends? Is it ging t allw yu the time and mney t d ther things, see ther places while yu’re there?
Remember, it’s nt a wrking hliday if yu spend all yur time wrking — it’s just wrk.
32. Accrding t the authr, what will happen t mst wrking hlidaymakers?
A. They will live in style.
B. They will enjy their travelling.
C. They can get plenty f gd wrk experience.
D. They may have difficulty finding a gd jb.
33. Hw des the authr feel abut his fruit picking experience?
A. Tiring.
B. Imprtant.
C. Interesting.
D. Eye-pening.
34. What d we knw abut the authr’s jb as a line ck?
A. He was trained hard.
B. He fund it very difficult.
C. He was ding nthing skilful.
D. He learned hw t ck chicken.

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
A plar bear (北极熊) swimming in the Thames River in Lndn.
“Hw did that happen?” Susan Fletcher remembers wndering when she first read a histry f the ryal z at the Twer f Lndn. The animals there were ften gifts frm the rulers f ther cuntries t the king f England. But hw, exactly, did an Arctic animal end up there?
Fletcher knew she wanted t write abut that bear, but she als knew she wuld have t d a lt f research. The bear lived mre than 750 years ag.
“Jurney f the Pale Bear” tk five years t research and write. Because there were s few facts abut the bear, its keeper and their travels, Fletcher imagined the keeper as a 12-year-ld by named Arthur. In the nvel, Arthur and a plar bear travel frm Nrway t England in 1252. They brave hmesickness, strmy seas and pirates (海盗).
Writing the bk was als a jurney fr Fletcher, wh started it in Prtland, Oregn, but finished it abut 2,000 miles away in Texas.
Fletcher learned much abut plar bears by spending time with them. Thanks t a special invitatin frm the curatr (园长) at the Oregn Z, Fletcher had a chance t watch tw plar bears in a quiet space ff limits t the public.
Her dg, Neville, helped Fletcher understand hw humans and animals might cmmunicate withut wrds. Being with Neville gave Fletcher insight int hw Arthur and the bear might relate t each ther.
Fletcher did research in ld dcuments and histries t discver what Arthur might have eaten and wrn, but she relied n her wn childhd fr details (细节) f his travels by land.
Grwing up in Califrnia and Ohi, Fletcher lved t explre the utdrs with her three yunger siblings. They wuld spend hurs in nearby fields and hills and explre the pnd and river — just like Arthur and the bear in the bk.
Fletcher has already started writing her next nvel. Instead f a plar bear, lk fr cactuses, turtles and armadills in the new tale.
1. When did Susan Fletcher get the idea f writing abut a plar bear?
A. When she saw a plar bear swimming in Lndn.
B. When she learnt sme f the ryal z’s histry.
C. After her visit t the Twer f Lndn.
D. After her visit t the Oregn Z.
2. What can we learn abut Fletcher?
A. She is interested in traveling.
B. She is famus fr writing abut animals.
C. She is writing a new bk abut a plar bear.
D. She spent five years finishing her plar bear nvel.
3. Where did Fletcher learn abut the way Arthur and the bear might cmmunicate?
A. Frm dcuments in libraries.
B. Frm living with her dg Neville.
C. Frm her friend wh wrks in the z.
D. Frm the time she spent with bears in the z.
4. Hw did Fletcher design the details f Arthur’s stry n land?
A. By ding research n the histry f the 13th century.
B. By discussing them with her three siblings.
C. By studying the life f her wn children.
D. By referring t her wn life as a child.

B
It might sund like 1.5 millin penguins (企鹅) are a hard thing t miss. Hwever, that is indeed the case with this super-clny f Adélie penguins wh have managed t cnceal themselves fr many years in the Danger Islands f Antarctica. The far-away, difficult t reach, land is always circled by thick ice. It was, therefre, believed t be uninhabitable and scientists paid little attentin t it.
Hwever in 2014, when Stny Brk University scientist Heather Lynch was examining pictures f the islands, she nticed what appeared t be penguin waste. T find ut what was happening, Lynch planned an expeditin (探险) with a team that included researchers.
After several mnths f preparatin, the researchers reached the Danger Islands in December 2015. T their jy, they were greeted by hundreds f thusands f the nesting (筑巢) birds. Thrugh several days f hard wrk, the researchers came t the cnclusin that the islands are hme t ver 1.5 millin penguins. The discvery is particularly exciting given that n the West Antarctic Peninsula, Adélie penguin numbers are drpping rapidly. With the new additins, scientists nw say there are ver fur millin knwn pairs f the birds in Antarctica.
In the study, published in Scientific Reprts n March 2, 2018, the scientists said ne f the things that surprised them abut the newly-fund penguins was their nesting habits. Unlike ther Adélie penguins wh nest in a circle t prtect themselves, the Danger Islands birds seem t have n such fear and prefer nesting separately. And thanks t the pinkish waste, the researchers knw the penguins’ diet is mainly made up f shrimp (虾).
“This exciting discvery shws us just hw much mre there still is t learn abut this amazing animal,” said Rd Dwnie, head f the plar prgrams at the Wrld Wildlife Fundatin (WWF). “But it als reminds (提醒) us t prtect the waters ff the cast f Antarctica t safeguard Adélie penguins frm bth verfishing and glbal warming.”
5. What des the underlined wrd “cnceal” in Paragraph 1 mean?
A. Hide.
B. Prtect.
C. Cntrl.
D. Supprt.
6. Hw was Heather Lynch’s expeditin?
A. Interesting.
B. Unexpected.
C. Fruitful.
D. Disappinting.
7. Hw d the newly-fund penguins differ frm ther Adélie penguins?
A. In their diet.
B. In their appearance.
C. In their nesting habits.
D. In their way f cmmunicatin.
8. What is the authr’s purpse in writing this text?
A. T reprt a discvery.
B. T recrd an expeditin.
C. T intrduce Adélie penguins.
D. T call n peple t prtect penguins.
