Best spring destinations in Tibet
The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau has long been an ideal and mysterious destination for visitors who are
passionate about exploring remote lands. Here we recommend some of the best tourist destinations in
Tibet.
Peach Blossom Valley, Nyingchi
The peach blossoms in Nyingchi have been dubbed as “the most beautiful peach flowers in the
world”. The annual festival has become a signature tourism event on the plateau. Peach trees bloom
depending on the altitude and climate, so visitors will have the chance to enjoy the blossoms.
Ranwu Lake
Ranwu Lake is renowned for its tranquility (平静) and its purity of blueness. Scenery along the
lakeside varies a good deal with grass, forest, autumn leaves, white waterfowl and snow mountains
clearly reflected in the mirror-like water. Spring coming, a reflection of green trees dances on the lake
and people feel like they are walking into a romantic dreamland.
The Yarlung Zangbo River Grand Canyon
The Grand Canyon is the deepest canyon in the world. With a total length of about 500 kilometers,
its altitude spans from 7,782 meters to 550 meters around the Yarlung Zangbo River Valley. Visitors

mountains and shrouded in clouds, Nanyi Valley is an ideal spring destination for visitors, where you
can find peach and azalea blossoms everywhere.

B
I arrived home from work, my mind racing. I was scheduled to perform an experiment using a
pricey piece of equipment, but I had spent the whole day worrying about the experiment which was
on the top of my agenda (日程), and I amazingly longed to shut off my anxious thoughts. So after
dinner, I made a cup of hot chocolate, stretched myself on my sofa, and opened a page. Almost
instantly, my mind left behind the details of experimental design and stepped into a land of monsters,
magic dust, and man-like bears comprising a wonderful world distinct (不同的) from my daily life. It
was exactly what I needed.
Growing up, I was virtually never a big fan of novels. My classmates would be crazy about the
latest Harry Potter book, while my copy sat collecting dust on a shelf. Instead, I would choose to read
through the reference books related to my academic fields for better grades. After I started graduate
school, extracurricular reading didn’t appeal to me at all but I spent most of my time on campus
digesting research papers and textbooks and my mind couldn’t handle processing fact-filled
nonfiction books at home, too. So I knew that I needed to find a way to enjoy reading again.
To help me stick with it, I made a New Year’s resolution: I would read two fiction books per
month for the entire year. The result was an almost instant appreciation of fiction, along with many
unexpected results including ones that have benefited my schoolwork.
What surprised me the most was how much I learned. Some of the best books I read were
historical fictional stories happening in a realistic historical setting. I learned about life in different
countries, as well as struggles people there faced during difficult periods in their histories. The books
have helped me build sympathy and understanding, with an unexpected benefit: I’ve started to think
more deeply about the diversity of issues in the scientific community and could serve it, heart and
soul.

Starting the day on an egg could keep your blood pressure under control, research suggests.
Scientists have shown that eggs produce proteins with a function similar to that of powerful blood
pressure-lowering drugs.
The research, from the University of Alberta in Canada, showed that when eggs come in
contact with stomach enzymes( ), they produce a protein that acts in the same way as ACE
inhibitors, but more work is needed to show the effects outside a lab and in the human body.
Earlier this month, British researchers declared that, contrary to popular beliefs, it is healthy to
go to work on an egg. They concluded that the type of cholesterol ( ) found in eggs has little
effect on increasing heart disease risks.
Researcher Professor Bruce Griffin, from the University of Surrey, said, “The wrong beliefs
linking egg eating to high blood cholesterol and heart disease must be corrected. The amount of fat
in our diet has an effect on blood cholesterol that is several times greater than the relatively small
amounts of cholesterol found in eggs. The UK public do not need to be limiting the number of eggs
they eat. They can be encouraged to include them in a healthy diet as they are one of nature's most
nutritious foods.”
The British Heart Foundation dropped its three-egg-a-week limit in 2005. However, almost
half of Britons believe the limit still applies.
28. From the text we know that ACE inhibitors are .
A.a kind of protein B.a kind of food
C.a kind of medicine D.a kind of illness
29. According to what Professor Bruce said, eggs .
A.are the most nutritious food B.can be included in a healthy diet
第 4页，共 10页
{#{QQABCQiEoggAABAAARgCQwUiCkGQkgGACQgGQAAEMAAACQFABAA=}#}
C.have no effect on blood cholesterol D.are forbidden to be eaten in the UK
30. We can infer from the text that .
A.stomach enzymes mixed with eggs can cure heart diseases
B.drugs to lower blood pressure will be replaced by eating eggs
C.most Britons agree the three-egg-a-week limit should be dropped
D.about 50% of Britons think eating an egg a day is bad for their health
31. The text is meant to .
A.introduce a medicine made from eggs
B.introduce scientific findings about eggs
C.tell people how to lower their blood pressure
D.advise people to eat as many eggs as possible

Stress is a popular cause of major diseases affecting people worldwide. It is so common that
people have begun to search for the best and easiest ways to reduce stress. 32
Exercise for a better life.
Regular runners say that there is no better feeling than the one you get when you finish your
daily run. Exercising is an effective way for you to remove stress from your life. 33 And it can
also lift your mood. An additional benefit of exercising is that it keeps you fit and healthy!
Organize it.
Keeping your workplace and home organized is also a way for you to avoid stressful situations.
Working in a messy area keeps your brain thinking on several different things at the same time.
34
Manage your time wisely.
35 Sticking to your schedule gives you focus and a goal to work on. It also helps you
avoid missing out on deadlines which are a great source of stress. Managing your time wisely
means managing your stress.
In a word, we shouldn't let stress stop us living a normal and healthy life. Stress will naturally
appear due to the modern way of life. 36 Don't let stress get the better of you and make you lead
an unhappy life.
A.Here are the reasons why people always feel stressed.
B.Identify what causes your stress.
C.Plan your day ahead and stick to it.
D.There are some ways to say goodbye to stress.
E.Regular exercise gives you time to think abut things.
F.And it gets hard to concentrate on just one thing.
G.But just like fire, if we control stress it can't hurt us.

After graduating in 1953, he worked as a researcher. Yuan Longping realised that larger fields
were not the solution. Instead, farmers needed to _____57______ yields in the fields they had. How
this could be done was a challenging question at the time. Yuan was ____58________ that the
answer could be found in the creation of hybrid rice. A hybrid is a cross between two or more
varieties of a species. One characteristic of hybrids is that they usually ____59_______ a higher
yield than conventional crops. However, whether it was possible to develop a hybrid of
self-pollinating plants such as rice was a matter of great debate. The common assumption then was
that it could not be done. Through intense effort, Yuan ___60________ enormous technical
difficulties to develop the first hybrid rice that could be used for farming in 1974. This hybrid
enabled farmers to _____61______their output greatly.
Passage 2
Today, it is ____62_______ that about 60 percent of ____63________ rice consumption in
China is ___64_______ of crops generated from Yuan’s hybrid strains, and his strains have allowed
China’s farmers to produce around 200 million tons of rice per year. Yuan’s innovation has helped
feed not just China, but many other countries that __65_________on rice as well, such as India and
Vietnam. Because of his invaluable contributions, Yuan Longping received numerous awards both
in China and ___66_________.
Passage 3
In general, doctors in those days had two ____67_________ theories to explain how cholera
spread. One theory was that bad air caused the disease. Another was that cholera was caused by
an___68____from germs in food or water. Snow __69_____
to the second theory. It was correct, but he still needed __70_____. Consequently, when an outbreak
of cholera hit London in 1854, Snow began to investigate. He discovered that in two particular
streets the cholera outbreak was so ____71_______that more than 500 people died in ten days. He

{#{QQABCQiEoggAABAAARgCQwUiCkGQkgGACQgGQAAEMAAACQFABAA=}#}
was determined to find out why.
Passage 4
Snow began by marking on a map the exact places where all those who died had lived. There
were ____72____ deaths near the water pump in Broad Street (especially house numbers 16, 37, 38,
and 40). However, some ___73_______ (such as 20 and 21 Broad Street, and 8 and 9 Cambridge
Street) had had no deaths. These people worked in the pub at 7 Cambridge Street. They had been
given free beer, and so had not drunk the water from the pump. Snow ___74_____ that the water
pump was to ___75______. What is more, in another part of London, a woman and her daughter
had died of cholera after moving away from Broad Street. It seemed that the woman liked the water
from the pump so much that she had it delivered to her house every day. As a result of this evidence,
John Snow was able to announce that the pump water carried cholera germs. Accordingly, he had
the ___76______ of the pump removed so that it could not be used. Through this intervention, the
disease was stopped in its tracks.

A sudden call came into Jimmy Gilleece’s bar this past March. A newly married woman who
had spent the afternoon at the dive beach bar couldn’t find her wallet. She didn’t care about her ID,
credit cards, or $150 in cash, but her wedding ring was just inside.
Gilleece, 42, didn’t like the idea that a theft could have happened at his place, so he spent
第 9页，共 10页
{#{QQABCQiEoggAABAAARgCQwUiCkGQkgGACQgGQAAEMAAACQFABAA=}#}
hours searching 16 different cameras, watching the woman’s every step until she went to sit on a
bench outside and left when her ride arrived. Within minutes, a young man approached the bench,
put something in his pocket, and walked off. Gilleece posted a clip on the bar’s social media’s page.
“I didn’t want to criticize him,” he said. “I just asked if anybody knew who the guy was.” Within
hours, Gilleece got a text message from 17-year-old Rivers Prather, who admitted taking the walked
and said he’d done it because he hadn’t eaten in two days. Thinking the ring was fake, he threw the
wallet into the ocean and took the money to buy a sandwich.
Gilleece, unsure whether he should believe Prather, told the teenager to meet him at
the docks（码头）. There, they talked, and Prather said that he wasn’t getting along with his family
and had been living in the woods for a week. Gilleece, a father of two, looked at Prather
carefully—his small body, his flushing (发红的) cheeks – and saw him for what he was: more of a
kid than a criminal (罪犯).
However, the police were already on the case and because of the missing ring, Prather could be
facing severe charges. Gilleece decided to help. He employed two local divers to search the waters
where Prather had thrown the wallet. Meanwhile, the police wanted Gilleece to bring the teen to the
station. Instead, Gilleece called the police and told them, “He’s going to be at the docks with me
tomorrow.”
Paragraph 1:
A crowd had gathered to watch the two divers search in the strong current. _________________

Paragraph 1:
A crowd had gathered to watch the two divers search in the strong current. More than an hour passed, with no sign of the ring. Gilleece grew worried, especially when the police began questioning Prather and trying to get him to admit keeping the ring. Each passing minute increased the chances that the police would arrest the young man(同位语从句)。Then a diver popped up （突然出现）. In his hand was the wallet, and inside was the ring. Cheers erupted from the crowd. Even the police were happy.
But it wasn’t over for Gilleece. He’d been troubled about Prather sleeping in the could woods. Gilleece knew his home was big enough to give Prather a place to live for a while. He told the teen he would stay with his family until he ot on his feet again. He also gave the kid a job at his ban. “Most people would have given the footage to the police, but he chose to believe me and help me. I’ll work hard to become a good guy, just as he expected.” Prather said in an interview.
