Love hiking but don’t want to have a heavy backpack for days on end? We’ve found
four great walks around Australia.
Three Capes Walk
Where: Tasmania
Length: Three days
The pice de rsistance of a hike in this remote southeast corner of Tasmania has to
be a flight over, or cruise(航 行 ) underneath, Cape Pillar–the tallest sea cliffs in the
Southern Hemisphere. Here you’ll find 300-metre-high sea columns rising from the
ocean. The equally impressive Cape Raoul – only accessible by hikers – will also give you
a taste of the dramatic, raw beauty to come.
Great Ocean Walk
Where: Victoria
Length: Three days
The 243-kilometre long Great Ocean Road is an Australian National Heritage –
listed area famed for its surf beaches and the Twelve Apostles – limestone(石灰岩) stacks
rising out of the Southern Ocean. It takes more than a week to walk the full length, but
this hike ensures you see the best bits over three days.
Larapinta Trail &Red Center Walk
Where: Northern Territory
Length: Nine days
If you haven’t experienced the beating heart of Australia, this is the way to do it.
Walk part of the Larapinta Trail, a 231-kilometre path that follows the rocky spine of
the West MacDonnell Ranges from Alice Springs Telegraph Station to Mount Sonder.
Light to Light Walk
Where: New South Wales
Length: Four days
The Sapphire Coast was named after a gem because of its deep blue sparkling
waters. A hike here takes you deep into this dramatic landscape from striking 320-
million-year old red rocky outcrops to coastal forests. Glide along its dynamic waters on
a cruise to take in the birdlife, and if you’re lucky, you might even spot a dolphin or,
from May to November, a migrating whale.
21. What can you appreciate in “Three Capes Walk”?
A. The Twelve Apostles. B. The Larapinta Trail.
C. Cape Pillar. D. The Sapphire Coast.
22. What can you do while hiking in New South Wales?
A. Appreciate the birdlife along the dynamic waters.
B. See limestone stacks rising out of the Southern Ocean.
C. Spot a dolphin or a migrating whale from March to November.
D. Walk a 231-kilometre path to experience the beating heart of Australia.
23. Which of the following has the longest length of a visit for the tourists?
A. Victoria. B. Northern Territory.
C. New South Wales. D. Tasmania.
B
Phebe Cox grew up in what might seem an unlikely mental health danger zone for a
kid: tony Palo Alto, California. But behind its surface of family success and wealth, she
said, is an environment of heavy pressure on students to perform. By 2016, when Cox
was in middle school, Palo Alto had a teen suicide(自 杀 ) rate four times the national
average.
Cox’s family lived by the railroad tracks where many of the suicides occurred. She
got counseling（咨询）. But that choice is not always easily available to teens in crisis –
and she and her peers regarded school mental health services as their last choice because
of concerns about privacy.
A new program provides an alternative. Called Allcove, it offers unattached health
and wellness sites to those ages 12 to 25. Although Allcove is built to support a wide
range of physical, emotional and social needs, its main goal is to deal with mental health
challenges before they develop into deeper problems.
Cox said,“I felt pretty helpless as a young teenager, but Allcove is all about the
students and the students' needs.”
About half of all lifetime mental illness begins by age 14 and 75% before age 25,
according to researchers. Yet access to mental health care in the U.S. is lacking.
According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness, some 30 million adults and children
with mental health conditions go without treatment, and 129 million people live in areas
with shortages of mental health professionals.
Allcove provides fully staffed safe spaces for teens and young adults to discuss and
deal with their health, both mental and physical.
Dr. Steven Adelsheim, a psychiatrist, who created the Allcove in 2014, said,“There is
a crying need in the U.S. to reach kids with early intervention and help.”Sometimes a kid
may come in with a physical complaint, and only after a few visits is the mental suffering
brought out into the open. When that happens, Alcove can make a“warm handoff”to a
mental health specialist onsite.
Success, say Adelsheim and Cox, would mean the establishment of hundreds of
Allcove centers up and down the state and, eventually, around the country.
24. Why did Cox and her peers regard school mental health services as their last choice?
A. They were indifferent to the program.
B. They were concerned about their health.
C. They were upset about the occurrence of the suicides.
D. They were worried about their personal information leak.
25. How does the author prove the lack of mental health care in the US?
A. By giving examples.
B. By listing data.
C. By showing comparison.
D. By analyzing cause and effect.
26. What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 7 mean?
A. The sense of mental suffering.
B. Involvement of health experts.
C. Complaints about physical suffering.
D. The pressing call for assistance.
27. Which of the following best describes the impact of the program?
A. Predictable. B. Short-lived. C. Unidentifiable. D. Significant.
C
A revolution has recently taken place in behavioural biology. Its consequences are
far-reaching, both for our self-image as humans and for our relationship with animals.
Just a few decades ago, behavioural science was guided by two key beliefs: animals
cannot think, and no scientific statements can be made about their emotions. Today, the
same discipline holds both ideas to be false and assumes the very opposite: animals of
some species are capable of insight – they can recognize themselves in a mirror and
exhibit at least a basic sense of self-awareness – and they have rich emotional lives that
seem to be amazingly similar to those of humans.
Indeed, the transformation of the concept of the animal in modern behavioural
biology has been fundamental. This has been confirmed by the death of a third belief: for
decades, it was taught that animals behave for the good of their species. Today we know
this is not the case. Rather, animals do everything to ensure that copies of their own
genes are passed to the next generation with maximum efficiency and, when necessary,
they will also kill conspecifics. Clearly, they are not, as Jane Goodall had once famously
hoped, ‘like us, but better’.
The border between humans and animals is also beginning to blur in other areas.
Certain aspects of the social environment can cause stress for both humans and animals,
while other similar factors can relieve it. Indeed, animal behaviour does not develop in a
fixed manner: environmental influences, socialisation, and learning can change an
animal from the prenatal phase(胎 儿 期 ) through adulthood. Like humans, animals
ultimately appear individualised upon closer inspection.
However, such similarities across genes, brain structure, and the endocrine(内分泌
的 ) system do not automatically imply similarities concerning thoughts, feelings, and
behaviour. To better understand these characteristics, we need to look at specific studies
in both animals and humans. In the case of animals, such studies take place within the
field of behavioural biology, which was properly defined by one of the fathers of the
discipline, the Nobel Prize winner Nikolaas Tinbergen, as ‘the study of behaviour by
biological methods’.
28. According to the new research, some animals___________.
A. possess rich emotions.
B. can hardly recognize themselves.
C. can show little self-awareness.
D. are incapable of understanding.
29. It can be inferred that animals’ behavioural actions are mainly driven by
__________.
A. their desire to protect their species.
B. their ability to recognize themselves in mirrors.
C. their urge to guarantee the gene transmission.
D. their eagerness to be socially interacted.
30. Which of the following statements is true according to Paragraph 3?
A. There’s a clear distinction between humans and animals.
B. Social environment may have an impact on animal behavior.
C. Animals will eventually become standardized.
D. Learning alone can shape animal behaviour altogether.
31.Which of the following titles best summarizes the article?
A. Evolution of Views in Behavioral Biology: Typical Human, Typical Animal?
B. The Emotional Lives of Animals: A Study of Similarities and Differences with
Humans
C. Understanding the Blurred Boundaries: The Human – Animal Connection in
Modern Science
D. Past and Present: How Behavioral Biology Views Animals

Behind the Mask
Wearing the face of Patih Manis, a character in Bali’s dance dramas, means more
than simply putting on a tapel, or mask.
“When you dance with a tapel and perform its character, you undergo a
transformation,”says I Made Bandem, a scholar and teacher of Balinese arts – and a
dancer for seven decades. “You must‘marry’that mask and make ritual(仪式) offerings
to create unity between yourself and the tapel. Many dancers will sleep with the mask
beside them, so that they can learn its true character.”
Hand – carved tapel are essential to Topeng Pajegan and Topeng Panca, dance
dramas often held at temple festivals and family rituals across this Indonesian island.
The masks, along with delicate costumes, music that makes you sleep, and staccato
movements – sometimes only of the fingers – have attracted Balinese audiences since the
17th century. The stories staged in Pajegan and Panca tell the history of the Balinese
people, and the characters never change: Their appearance, movements, roles, and even
the order in which they emerge remain the same. Yet in spite of this structure, topeng
leave room for a great deal of artistic freedom. With no written text and no required
musical arrangement, the entire performance which can last around four hours will be
an improvisation – dancers and musicians drawing signals from one another.
It’s believed that every mask used for performance has a spirit. And if the correct
offerings and taboos have been observed and the dancers have devoted themselves to
mental, physical, and spiritual training, then during a dance drama their bodies will
become a medium for the tapel’s spirit.
“A dancer strives to achieve taksu, which is a combination of presence, power, and
passion, ”says Bandem.“This is what we pray for before we perform; it is through taksu
that we bring the ancestors and their stories to life.”
32. What can we learn about tapel from the first two paragraphs?
A. Tapel refers to a character’s name.
B. Tapel is supposed to be with the dancers all along.
C. Tapel builds a bridge between the dancer and the true character.
D. Tapel experiences dramatic changes when worn by a dancer.
33. All the following can attract the audience at the dance dramas mentioned
except________.
A. Well-designed costumes.
B. Balinese stories.
C. Uplifting music.
D. Artistic freedom.
34. Which one can better explain the meaning of “improvisation” in the third paragraph?
A. A performance created casually.
B. A performance with full preparation.
C. A performance given perfectly terribly.
D. A performance without deliberate preparation.
35. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?
A. Taksu is a Balinese dancer’s pursuit.
B. The story behind the mask.
C. Tapel’s spirit is impossible to overlook.
D. Taksu is a medium to connect the past and the present.

The Habits of Recovering Procrastinators(拖延者)
We all procrastinate (拖延) occasionally. Procrastination can be defined as delaying
a project, a task or an intended course of action, despite expecting to feel the guilt or
shame of the delay. I have developed some habits that will allow you to live in the
present, be much more productive and remove the procrastination that no longer serves
you.
Manage yourself in Time. Becoming a recovering procrastinator requires
developing a much greater sense of time — one hour, one day, one week, one month, one
year. 36
You then gain a better understanding of how to manage your time effectively and make
steady progress towards your goals.
Set small goals. _ 37 They desire to have a half-a-million-dollar year in their
first year as a business owner or to make a remarkable leap from a high-school actor to
winning an Oscar. Instead, what typically happens is that they fall apart emotionally.
Those breakdowns lessen the emotional energy necessary to progress toward their goals.
38 If you tend to procrastinate, keeping an organized list helps you develop
much more focus. By actively committing your tasks to writing, you break free from the
aimless spinning and equip yourself to overcome procrastination.
Rank tasks by importance. Develop the habit of organizing your tasks based on their
significance. 39 This way, you’ll prevent yourself from getting overwhelmed and
ensure that essential work gets done.
Don’t be too hard on yourself. Overcoming procrastination is a journey filled with
ups and downs. 40 Remember to be kind and patient with yourself along the way.
You’ve got this, and I believe in you.
A. Document your tasks and thoughts.
B. It’s common for procrastinators to aim high.
C. You can establish a daily or weekly timetable.
D. Overcome procrastination with organized focus.
E. Identify the most critical ones and tackle them first.
F. This is breaking down tasks into manageable time frames.
G. You’ll encounter roadblocks and experience moments of frustration.
