If you don't have the necessary paperwork, you might be refused entry. Youll need to check that your passport hasn't been out of date either.How do I arrange travel insuranceTravel insurance is really important. It can protect you in different kinds of situations, such as if you need medical treatment or if your flights are canceled. Travel insurance can be arranged easily online or over the phone, but you can always turn to your local travel agency. Travel agents will also be able to advise you on what you are insured against.21.

We are now able to create things we need very quickly and easily using 3D printers. But can you imagine printing food?Some scientists are trying to revolutionize the dining experience by doing this. They hope that having a 3D printer in the kitchen will be as common as the microwave oven or blender.Scientists say that itll be quite easy: you simply have to select a recipe and put the raw food inks into the printer. You can also modify the instructions to make the food exactly how you want it. This means that it would be very quick and easy to create tasty and nutritious meals.Using 3D printers to create your meals would also be saving the environment. There would be less need for traditional growing, transporting and packaging processes as food production would be a lot more efficient. For example, alternative ingredients(原料) such as proteins from algae, beetroot leaves and insects could be converted into tasty products.Printing food could also help people who suffer from dysphasia (a swallowing disorder). They could program the printer to print softer versions of their favorite foods so that they would not have trouble in swallowing them.However, some people think that a future of 3D food printing would be a disaster. It could take away many jobs, including those from growing, transporting and packaging food. Imagine a world where there was no need for farming or growing crops and the same tastes could be printed from a raw “food ink”. Likewise, traditional cafes and restaurants might lose business. Also, there are concerns about the nutritional value of printed food: is it really possible to get the nutrients we need from foodbased inks and gels(凝胶)?Whats more, cooking and eating together with family and friends has long been a traditional and enjoyable activity. It is hard to imagine a world where the pleasure of cooking is dead and meals can be created at the touch of a button.25. Which of the following best describes 3D food printing?A. Quick and popular.

D. 3D food printing would be a failure.28. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. 3D food “printing”: coming to the kitchen B. Can 3D printing create everything?C. 3Dprinting food will be in fashion! D. The disadvantage of 3D food printingCThe sun is setting on a summer night. At the entrance to a deep, dark cave, a few bats fly out and begin swirling high up into the air. More and more of the small, furry creatures appear. Within a few minutes, a whole river of bats is pouring out of the cave, and they keep coming, millions and millions of them.Sounds like a scary horror movie? Believe it or not, this scene takes place every night, all summer long, at Bracken Cave in Texas ,US, where 20 million bats fly outside to feed on insects.“It is magical,” says Jim Kennedy of Bat Conservation International in Austin Texas.“It is one of the most majestic animal movements on the planet.”Every March or April, Mexican free-tailed bats migrate up to 1,000 miles (1,609 kilometers) from their winter home in Mexico to this cave, where they raise their young. Soon after they arrive, each mother gives birth to one pup. As many as 500 baby bats crowd into one square foot (30.48 cubic centimeters) of space, all those bodies create nice warm temperatures to keep them cozy and comfortable. If youve ever lost sight of your parents on a crowded play ground, you may be wondering how mother bats recognize their children. They use their sense of smell to tell which pup is theirs when it is time for the babies to nurse.The cave, a quiet place in winter, is filled with life all summerand not just with bat residents. Bat waste soon covers the floor, providing food for tiny organisms(生物体) like bacteria and fungi(真菌).And then there are the bugs.When the adult bats leave the cave at night to feed, they are helping humans. They eat tons of insects in a single night, including many pests that eat farmers crops. And they get rid of mosquitoes, too.29. In the first paragraph, the author . A. describes the movement of bats B. provides some information about bats C. advises the reader to watch bats D. stresses the danger of bats in summer30.

Which of the following is TRUE about the bats?A. They are well protected by farmers. B. They smell better than other animals.C. They benefit from some tiny organisms. D. They travel from Mexico to America yearly.32. By saying “Sound like a scary horror movie?” what does the author mean_?A. Bats are better horrible characters in films  B. People tend to feel afraid of batsC. The cave mentioned is full of adventure D. The above scene is somewhat unbelievableDGrowing up in one of the poorest communities with most crimes in Los Angeles, US, being raised by a poorly-educated single mother and attending the worst-quality public school, not many people expected much of me, so I chose to expect something of myself.On my 12th birthday, I bought a poster of Harvard University to hang in my room. Being at Harvard became my dream: I saw myself attending class in Sanders Theater, studying in Widener Library and eating in Annenberg Hall. Driven by this dream, I kept studying hard. Id begin my day by asking myself these two questions: “What do I want in my life?” and “Are the things I am doing today going to get me closer to that life?”Asking myself the questions gave me the courage to ask over 50 Harvard students for advice on my application essays; it gave me the energy to study just one more hour on my SATs when others were asleep; and it gave me the determination to apply for just one more scholarship when already refused many times. Moreover, reminding myself of my goal each day made it easy to say no to the same choices my friends made, because they would never get me closer to my goal. I found that even being poor could not take away my power to decide what I choose to do with my life.Every day I could feel myself getting closer and closer to my goal as my writing got better, my SAT score increased, and my scholarship offers started coming in. On March 31st, 2011, an email arrived from Harvard. The first word was “Congratulations!”. Tears of joy filled my eyes.Who you are today is the result of the decisions you made yesterday, and who you will be tomorrow will be the result of the choices you make today. Who do you want to be tomorrow?33. How did the author push himself to get closer to his goal?A. By hanging a poster of Harvard in his room.B. By asking himself the questions each day.C. By making the same choices with his friends.D. By increasing his scores and getting scholarships.34. What is the authors attitude to the hardship?A. Positive. B. Disappointed. C. Thankful. D. Sorrowful.35. What did the author want to tell us most?A. A famous university, a successful life.B. The earlier you set yourself a goal, the better.C. What doesnt kill you makes you stronger.D. Your choices determine who you are.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。As is known to everyone, we all care about what others think of us and want to be liked, 36 However, there are also many smaller, simpler things you can do, which can affect how others view you.Prove you are paying attention.To really show someone your interest in him or her, try bringing up a topic the person mentioned earlier. Did your co-worker talk about working with his son on a science fair project last week? Follow up and ask how it went. 37 In fact, sometimes it says more that you can recall and show interest in even the small happening in another persons life.Handle criticism in a wise way.While you want to be generous with your praise, be careful with your criticism. For example, if someone makes an error, dont call that person out in front of a group. 38 Anyhow, be always gentle with criticism and only offer it when its truly needed.Ask for advice.Asking someone for advice is a great way to get people to like you. It shows that you respect the other individuals opinion. 39 When you make someone feel better about himself or herself, that person will most certainly end up liking you for it. 40 Most people love to talk about themselves.
