Before coming to China, the Great Wall held a mysterious and poetic quality for me. I had seen it in photos, in films and read about it in books, but my first experience of the wall gave me a very different impression. In 2014, I visited the Badaling section, certainly an attractive place with some incredible views. but perhaps due to the large number of tourists, the massive restorations and tourist facilities, it felt far different from the impression I had built up in my mind.
I have been to many different sections of the wall since then. but none have matched my high expectations until the recent National Day holiday. I decided to hike along the Jiankou section of the wall which rises more than 1,000 meters above sea level, and camp overnight to be able to take in both the sunset and sunrise
Arriving at the top of the path, the only access point to get onto the wall itself was a ladder made of tree branches tied together with string. I climbed to one of the highest points on the wall in order to catch the sunset. Being completely alone on this unique and dangerous section of the wall. witnessing me sunset behind the mountains, was a truly unique experience.
I woke up expecting to be able to catch the sunrise, however, my weather app failed me. Getting out of the tent, I could hardly see my hand in front of my face as the whole area was covered in a thick fog. I made the decision to climb back to the top of the wall. The vast mountains with the wall cutting a path along them became visible for a few brief moments as the gusts of wind parted the clouds. In that moment, the image of the wall I had built up in my mind was finally realized. The combination of raw nature, geography and architecture are all in balance with one another. Undoubtedly, I will return to the wall and seek out new paths, but this experience will be matchless
24. Why was the author disappointed with his first visit to the Great Wall?
A. There were not splendid views
B. It was not a fascinating tourist destination
C. The photos he saw before were unreal
D. There were too many restorations and tourist facilities
25. What did the author do at Jiankou section of the Great Wall?

C. More attention should be paid to the protection of Heritage sites
D. Parts of the Great wall have suffered from tourism in recent years

High-resolution (高分辨率) satellite imagery has been used to map every single tree in Africa, showing a technique that could help improve the monitoring of deforestation(森林砍伐) across the world. Florian Reiner at the University of Copenhagen, Denmark, and his colleagues used images from satellites to map canopy ( 树 冠 )across the entire African continent.
Modern satellites usually catch tree canopies at a resolution of 30 meters — fine for measuring the size of forests, but less good at mapping individual trees. The satellite data Reiner and his colleagues used had a resolution of 3 meters, enabling the study to map all trees, including those not part of a forest.
The results suggest that 30 per cent of all trees in Africa aren't in a forest, and instead are across farmland, savannah and urban areas. "Many countries in Africa lack thick forests, but have a lot of trees. "says Reiner. "These trees are extremely important to the local ecosystems, the people and the economy. By racking every single tree, researchers can start to monitor how these trees are coping with climate change or whether they are sensitive to deforestation. " It could also improve the monitoring of reforestation efforts which are growing in popularity as a way of removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
At a local level, being able to consistently monitor when and where trees are disappearing or reappearing can lead to more actionable insights, " says John Francis at the Alan Turing Institute in London.
The study is a proof of concept rather than a map ready for immediate commercial use. " says Reiner.
"It's research work. It's showing what could be done, " he says. But he is already working with colleagues to scale up the tracking approach to cover the entire global canopy:"We're hoping that this will be seen as a way forward in monitoring tree resources
28. Why is high-resolution satellite imagery used to map every single tree?
A. To know the exact height of the tree
B. To have a clear picture of the canopy
C. To help monitor the deforestation
D. To improve the satellite technology
29. What is John Francis' attitude towards the map?
A. Doubtful B. Disapproving C. Indifferent D. Favorable
30. What do Reiner and his colleagues expect to do?
A. Protect the trees only in Africa B. Put the map into commercial use
C. Track the entire global canopy D. Improve the imagery technology
31. What is probably the best title?
A. Ways to Measure the Size of Forests in Africa
B. Coping with Climate Change by Tracking Every Single Tree
C. A Map from the Satellite Ready for Immediate Commercial Use
D. High-resolution Satellite Imagery Used in Monitoring Deforestation
D
Regularly practicing facial "yoga", or exercises for your facial muscles, may actually make you look younger, early research suggests.
In a small, new study, researchers taught 27 middle-age women(ages 40 to 65) how to perform 32 facial exercises, which included simple actions such as smiling in the cheeks. After this training, the participants performed these exercises at home for 30 minutes a day, every day for eight weeks. On the ninth week of the study, the participants reduced the frequency of their 30-minute exercise routine to every other day (three to four days a week), and continued the exercise for 20 weeks.
The participants also had their photos taken at the beginning and end of the study, and several doctor rated these photos using a standard method for assessing the appearance of aging in the face and neck. The raters, who didn't know which photos were taken before and which photos were taken after the exercises, also estimated the age of the person in the photo.
After 20 weeks, the participants had better ratings for the fullness of their cheeks, on average, compared with their ratings at the start of the study. In other words, their cheeks looked fuller after their 20-week facial exercise. This change in cheek fullness also made the participants look younger: Raters estimated that the participants looked nearly three years younger after the exercises, compared with before.
However, the findings are preliminary and should be confirmed with a larger study, the researchers said. And many questions remain about exactly which exercises are beneficial and who might benefit from them The study involved middle-age, mainly white women, who stayed in the study for 20 weeks, so it's not known whether the effects seen in the study would apply to men, or to people of other ages or races. It's also not clear how long people need to perform the exercises in order to see benefits, lead study author Dr. Murad Alam said.
32. What did the researchers first do in the study?
A. They trained the participants B. They divided the participants into groups
C. They took photos of the participants D. They checked the faces of the participants
33. What was the participants' specific change according to the study?
A. They looked healthier B. They got fuller facial outline
C. They became interested in Yoga D. They got to smile more frequently
34 What does the underlined word "confirmed " in the last paragraph mean?
A. proved B. questioned C. challenged D. affected
35. What can be inferred from Dr. Murad Alam's words?
A. More facial exercises will be performed
B. Middle-aged women will not be included
C. Men participants will appear in later studies
D. 20 weeks is enough to test if an exercise works

To me, shopping was more than a hobby. It made me delighted and relaxed.
However, one day when I stayed at home looking around my house, I realized that my own cherished knickknacks(小摆件) had become dust collectors. My treasures had overtaken my home, the furniture was Closing in on me, and I had piles of clothing. Some of them had never been worn before. My home had become a prison instead of a heaven. It was then that I realized my hobby had become a sweet burden for me. It's high time that I should make a change!
At first, making the decision proved easier than carrying it out. I'd come home from work, stand in the doorway. and gaze at my paintings, favorite chair, and dolls. I would delicately hold and admire a fine tea se that, until now, I had long stopped noticing on the shelf. My doll collection was the biggest trouble.

Even though the dolls had "certificates of authenticity"(防伪证明), and some were signed by the artists, it didn't feel right to sell them. Having no idea what to do with these dolls. I turned to my husband for help.
