8．Where should an adventurous tourist go？After you've done sightseeing in London，shopping in New York，enjoyed the local food in Paris，and danced to your heart's content at the Brazilian carnival，where else can you go？What attractive tourist destination awaits you？
Well，Antarctica sounds like the holiday of a lifetime!It's considered the last great wilderness on Earth．Just a few scientists in research stations share the icy landscape with penguins and other animals which can struggle with the low temperatures．
Tourism began in Antarctica in the 1950s and it's still small part．About 37，000 tourists are expected there this season，but many won't even leave the boat．
The BBC's Juliet Rix visited the frozen continent and asked herself if she should be there at all，causing potential problems to such a sensitive environment．Her tour guide admitted that all visitors leave a footprint and they all go to the same places，the accessible coastline，which is also where the penguins and seals go to raise．
But some people believe that if carefully controlled，tourism can be good for Antarctica．It has no native population and it needs advocates．Visitors to the icy continent might be ready to support and even to fund its preservation．And they're likely to engage in the discussion about global warming，which has led to the melting of glaciers．
According to Rix，guidelines are followed when you're about to set foot in Antarctica and tourists have to disinfect（消毒）their boots to make sure no alien species are introduced．
And once on land，there's no eating or smoking．Rocks，bone fragments-nothing should be taken as a souvenir and nothing should be left behind．
Tourists fortunate enough to visit the Antarctic must be aware that this is not their home and keep their fingers crossed that future generations will also be able to enjoy such breathtaking views．

15．Everyone needs a break，and vacations are not meant for serious study．（36）FThe Spring Festival is coming up so this is the perfect time to discuss some great English language literature to take on a long train journey．
Before getting into the recommendations，you need to determine your English reading comprehension level．If you're at the beginner level，there are two options：reading a children's book or reading a book that you've read in Chinese translation．（37）GIf you're at the intermediate level，popular books like pop fiction，mysteries and thrillers are good options．For advanced readers，classic works of literature or modern prize winners （Nobel，Pulitzer） are good options．
（38）BWhen I pick up a book I like，even though the first few chapters are really hard to get through，I would try to get accustomed to the language the author uses．Generally，after the first few chapters，things get a lot easier，especially if I get involved in the story．
Another great way to keep yourself motivated is to find a friend who's interested in reading the same book．You can make goals that you both want to achieve．（39）E Some quick recommendations：Harry Potter，start with the first book and go on from there； the Narnia series； anything by US writer Michael Crichton； and if you like horror，US writer Stephen King is always unusual and fun．（40）DHappy reading!

12．In its first ever National Building Competition，the U．S．Environmental Protection Agency （EPA） challenged the teams from across the nation to cut wasteful energy use in buildings where they live and work．Family and commercial ladings together consume 40 percent of U．S．energy and the Obama Administration is eager to show how that load can be reduced．
In recent remarks at a university．President Barack Obama promoted a plan that could help commercial buildings achieve greater energy efficiency （效率）．
"Making our buildings more energy-efficient is one of the fastest，easiest and cheapest ways to save money，fight against pollution and create jobs right here in the United States of America，"he said．He also inspected the research labs where scientists are working on new technologies designed to cut energy waste in commercial buildings．
Stores like the Sears department store in Maryland，which took second prize in the contest，are already using some of those technologies．As part of the store's bid to cut its energy use，every one of the building's 24 rooftop AC （交流电） units was checked and repaired．Every light bulb-all 15，000 of them-was replaced with a more efficient one．And sensors were installed （安装）to shut lights off in offices and storerooms when no one is around．Taken together these changes helped the Sears store reduce its building energy consumption by more than one-third and cut electric bills by $ 46，000．
Office buildings can also achieve impressive energy savings．The tenants of a 12-story building in Virginia managed to cut the building's energy consumption by 28 percent as part of the EPA competition．
"Whether it's an office building or a department store，a school or church，the EPA energy challenge showed that there's always room for improvement"，says Jennifer Amann with the American Council for an Energy Efficient Economy，

13．When I was just 16，my father decided to turn an old guesthouse into a hotel，and he experimented with everything．None of us had ever worked in a hotel before，but my dad was sure of what guests would like to see．
For a month that summer，I served as a waitress at breakfast and dinner，which gave me the middle of the day free for studying．Like all the others，I did what the instructions said and treated the guests as though they were special visitors in my own home．
I soon learned how to deal with the most daunting person in the kitchen：the cook，Gordon．He had a great ability to become very angry for no clear reason．I avoided him as much as possible and always took the dishes with a frozen expression on my face which was turned into a sweet smile in the space between kitchen and dining room．
Breakfast waitressing was，I found，more enjoyable than the dinner service．The guests came wandering into the dining room，looking with appreciation at the view of the sea and islands through the dining room window．It was funny how differently people behaved in the evenings，dressed up and talking with louder，colder voices，not always returning my smile．However，that all changed when dad created a special role for me．
It began with a few common cakes for the guests'packed lunches and progressed to fancy cakes for afternoon teas．This led to the climax：a nightly show known as Lucy's Sweet Trolley．Every evening，I carried the most amazing collection of cakes and other desserts．Most were things I had invented myself and I had cooked all of them．Some-Jacobit Grenades，Mocha Genghis Khan and Goat's Milk Bavarios to name a few-were really strange．It was dad's idea that I should dress smartly and stop at each table and recite the name of each dish．
21．What did the people working at the hotel have in common？D
A．They all understood the guests'expectations．
B．They all studied at the middle of the day．
C．they all had enough experience．
D．They all followed the rules．
22．What does the underlined word"daunting"in Paragraph 3mean？D
A．CarefulB．NervousC．InterestingD．Frightening

A．The guests were friendlier．
B．There were more types of food to satisfy the guests．
C．The dining room was quieter．
D．The guests dressed up for the beginning of a new day．

C．It was made following her father's instructions．
