THE REMARKABLE ROCKS area must-see on Kangaroo Island
accessible by air and ferry from the Australian mainland
Hop on new Kangaroo Island trail
for five-day adventure
It sounds like an amusement park.Or a portion of a zoo reserved for marsupials(有袋动物). But Kangaroo Island(KI), 30 minutes by air from Adelaide in South Australia, is just the opposite. Much of the island remained inaccessible to visitors until this year.Opened to the public in May, the Kangaroo Island Wilderness Trail, a nearly 38-mile, fie-day hike, ushers adventurous trekkers on a botanically distinctive immersion into the islands' south-west side.
Footers can expect to walk roughly four to seven hours a day, passing colorful flower, splendid sugar gum tees and massive native plant life. In this timeless setting, they'll likely sport kangaroos, goanna lizards and spiny echidna. From cliff rims， they'll overlook the Southern Ocean， where sharks lurk and schools of salmon cluster in flower like, protective formations.
The trial includes 4 camping areas,each outfitted with 24 tent platforms :12 for self-guided walkers and 12 for tour operators,who also can arrange options off the trail.
Independent trekkers pay about$124to do the walk; the cost includes the parking at the Flinders Chase visitor center ,and a trail guide and map.
KI is accessible both by air and by ferry ;www.tourkangarooisland. com.au
--Chicago Tribune/TNS
【1】According to the passage, Kangaroo Island is special for .
A.camping sites B.kangaroos
C.an amusement park D.natural beauty
【2】On the island the visitors can .
A.feed wild animals
B.visit the Remarkable Rocks
C.choose from 12 tent platforms
D.take a boat on the Southern Ocean

The human sense of smell is weak.That is well known, and is suspected by many anthropologists of being the result of a trade-off(协调) in favor of visual processing power. In the specific case of people, however, the relative weakness of smell compared with sight extends to language, too. Humans have no difficulty putting names to colors but are notoriously bad at putting names to smells.
That might also be caused by how the brain is wired. But some doubt this. They suggest it is more likely a consequence of the tendency of languages to contain words useful to their speakers. Since smells matter little to most people, most languages have few abstract words for them. A study just published in Current Biology, by Asian Majid at Radboud University in the Netherlands and Nicole Kruspe at Lund University in Sweden supports this.
Dr. Majid knew from previous work she had done that the Jahai, a group of hunter-gatherers who live in western Malaysia, are remarkably good at naming smells. Dr. Majid suggested that it might, in part, be because the Jahai have a dozen wards dedicated to describing different sorts of smells in the abstract. For example, the Jahai use the word “cŋεs” for stinging(刺激的) sorts of smells associated with petrol, smoke and various insects, and “pleŋ” for bloody, fishy and meaty sorts of smells. According to Dr Majid, only “musty” is able to act in this way in English without drawing on analogy (banana-like, gooseberry-noted, and even earthy and sweet-smelling, are all analogies of some sort).
They also looked at how two other groups of people from the Malay Peninsula(马来半岛)used terms for colors and smells. These were the Semaq Beri who also hunt and gather for a living, and the Semelai, who cultivate rice. They found tat the Semaq Beri used abstract terms for smells 86% of the time-about as often as they did for colours, which was 80％. The Semelai also used abstract colour descriptions at a similar rate, namely 78％ of the time. But when it came to describing odours they relied on abstraction on only 44％ of occasions, while resorting to analogies, such as “banana” and “chocolate”, 56％ of the time. Given these findings, Dr.Majid and Dr.Kruspe argue that it is the hunting-and-gathering way of life, rather than the use of a particular language, that is crucial to the use of abstract names for smells.

【1】What leads to the difficulty of describing smells according to Majid's study?
A.The imbalance between smell and sight.
B.The poor function of the human nose.
C.The structure of the brain.
D.Lack of relevant vocabulary.
【2】What can be inferred from the examples in Paragraph 3?
A.English mainly relies on analogy to name smells.
B.Analogy is often used in the Jan a i language to names smells.
C.“Musty”is an English word using analogy to name a smell.
D.English borrows some words for smells from the Jahai language.
【3】What can we learn from the study about two other groups?
A.Language plays a decisive role in_naming smells.
B.The two groups were equally good at describing colors.
C.The Semaq Beri's lifestyle helped them have an edge in naming smells.
D.Surviving in the forest has greater effect on human language than farming.

Picture yourself at a crowded airport departure gate. Your flight is 20 minutes late. The woman on your left is noisily eating something that smells awful.The man to your right is still braying into his cellphone, and the traveler next to him is preparing to kill time with...wait, is that a toenail clipper?
Unless you are saintly or unconscious, a few things in that description-on many things, or all the things-are likely to really bug you. We know an annoyance when we experience it. But what makes something annoying? And does research of from any advice for prevent life's annoyances from making our heads explode? The answers to those questions are: no. Did even one university create a Department of Annoyance Science...or offer a major in this universal emotion? No. Nothing.
Then what makes something annoying? It must be harmful but not physically. A housefly buzzing around your head is unpleasant but it won't kill you. Also, it must be unpredictable and intermittent. The loud ticking of an a arm clock or the odor of a cat litter box may at first be annoying, but with constant exposure overtime, it ceases to be noticeable. Psychologists' term for this gradual tolerance of a stimulus is habituation.Yet when an unpleasant noise or smell comes and goes, it becomes annoying each time it shows up.
Finally, to be truly annoying, something has to persist for an uncertain period of time.A fight that's delayed an hour is a bother, but tolerable, so long as it really is just an hour. A fight that's delayed and delayed and delayed, with no explanation and no end in sight, is extremely annoying. The intermittent nature of annoyances makes them hard(if not impossible) to anticipate and thus to prepare a defense against.If you know you're going to best stuck in traffic, you might be able to accept it or bring along a distraction. But when the slowdown is unexpected, it gets to you before you can stop yourself.
An interesting thing about annoyances is how they appear to change over time. A decade ago, our research led us to conclude that one of the most annoying things in the world was listening to someone else's loud cell phone conversation. We hypothesized that the reason it was so annoying is that our brains naturally tend to paint a complete picture of reality, but when you only hear half of a conversation, that's not possible. Then, cell phone conversations seemed annoying only to the people not on the phone. Today it's the call recipients that seem to be getting annoyed. I'm not talking about receiving a robocall. I'm talking about the 20-something who recently told me that an unexpected call, even from a close friend; is annoying, The thinking seems to be, Why call when a text will do? Or even, You should have, texted to ask if you could call...
I've thought a lot about what makes people, things, and situations annoying, and what any of us might do to immunize ourselves against becoming annoyed. The answer's actually surprisingly simple: All you have to do is

The story is little known, but the anthologist Allie Esiri stumbled across it while researching her new book.“It's extraordinary that it may have been Shakespeare's words that jolted he guard's humanity," she said.
After the Holocaust(大屠杀) Eva was reunited with her boyfriend, Jan. They married, moved to the US and both taught chemistry at Illinois University, Yet none of that might have happened had she not been cast in A Midsummer Night's Dream in 1944. Eva never got to appear in the show as she was driven to the Theresienstadt ghetto Czechoslovakia, where 33,000 died. But it was there that she met the love of her life.
Now 95, Jan still remembers falling in love with the girl he saw helping elderly people with their luggage as they arrived. He read poetry with her and Eva would recite the lines she never got to perform. “Shakespeare was a very important part of her life. I loved hearing her recite it,”he said.
Months later Eva was saying those lines again in the Polish winter. By then, she had lost her father at Auschwitz. She and her mother were assessed by Dr. Josef Mengele and had been sent to the Kurzbach labor camp. It was there that a guard she knew as Suchy heard her lines as Titania.“He seemed to be listening to my recitations,” Eva wrote in her memoir.
The mere act of him talking to her was forbidden but Eva also noted that he spoke to her with the polite form of“you” in German. Mr. Rocek said that Suchy had no ulterior motive.“He never tried in the slightest to touch her or anything,” he said. The guard kept a watchful eye over Eva and her mother, particularly when the inmates were marched toward the Gross-Rosen concentration camp. Knowing this was a path to death, Suchy approached Eva's mother Anna early one morning and told them to escape. Eva, Anna and three others fled into the woods.
Esiri, who includes the story in her book Shakespeare for Every Day of the Year, says:“You wouldn't think those conversations in concentration camps had any human moments.”Michael Dobson, professor of Shakespeare studies at Birmingham University, said: “It's what culture's for. To provide channels of communication between people even in the hardest circumstances.”Eva and Jan were married from 1947 until her death in 2015, aged 87. He said:“We saw A Midsummer Night's Dream whenever we had a chance.”
【1】Put the following events in the correct order.
a. Eva and Jan moved to the US and taught in a university,
b. Eva met Jan and lost her heart to him.
c. Eva's father passed away at Auschwitz.
d. Eva was forced to leave for Czechoslovakia.
e. Eva and her mother were sent to the Kurzbach labor camp.

【2】What can be learned from the passage?
A.Eva served hard labor in Kurzbach labor camp.
B.Eva performed in A Midsummer Night's Dream in 1944.
C.Only Eva and her mother successfully escaped.
D.Suchy loved Eva because of their common interest.
【3】What does the underlined word in paragraph 6 probably mean?
A.hidden B.strong
C.profit D.prime
【4】What is Esiri's purpose of saying“You wouldn't think those conversation in concentration camps had any human moments?”
A.To arouse readers' sympathy for the victims in concentration camps.
B.To highlight the precious humanity that shone even in total darkness.
C.To condemn the Nazis who had no mercy on people in concentration camps.
D.To describe concentration camps as places where people showed no humanity.

请阅读下面短文,并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一一个最恰当的单词。注意:请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上。每个空格只填一个单词。
We, as humans, are all interconnected and interrelated. Each one of our actions and thoughts forms a part of our fate as well as others' and we are connected to each other. When we share a collection of ideas, morals, attitudes, and beliefs, we, as a society, are bound together.
This is the essence and spirit of collective consciousness.
The term“collective consciousness”was introduced by, the French sociologist, Emile Durkheim, in 1893, who stated that, the totality of beliefs and sentiments (感想) common to the average members of a society forms a determinate system with a life of its own. In simpler terms, we can say that a collection of common beliefs and ideas strengthens our bond as a group, as a society, and acts as a major component towards uniting us for a particular goal.
In modern society, one of the primary contributors to this concept is the media. The common public is greatly influenced by what is mentioned in the newspapers, on the radio, or shown on television, so they begin to have similar ideas and views about a particular incident or event. Eventually, the media plays a role in projecting a viewpoint, and this, whether in a good light or bad, unites people.
There are many instances of this concept. A universally-known example is that of ants. Observe them careful, and you will find that they always live together in colonies, doing their little bit for the group. However, if you relocate a portion of the colony, they will perform the same tasks at the same time. Moreover, if you drop a crumb that is too large to be carried by a single ant; and do this to an ant that is distanced from the rest of the colony, you'll observe that the other ants will come and help immediately. How does this happen? Many people believe this is a glimpse of collective consciousness in action.
For another example, whenever we hear reports of floods, earthquakes, tsunamis,hurricanes, and the like, we'll frequently feel common grief. We share a common sadness over the loss of humanity, separation and pain. Why do we pray together for all the poor, departed souls, and feet happy when there is some good news after the great disaster? Somewhere, we were all made to connect to each other.
Overall, collective consciousness defines the rules of reality. The shared faith and beliefs act as a guiding factor to understanding the universal mind's disconnectedness. Therefore, practice this concept in your daily life. Start believing that we're all one, we're in this together, life or death, and we are all connected.

As many as one in seven recent graduates in Britain may have cheated by using essay mils (论文工坊) during the last four years, according to a recent study. Essay mills, also known as “constrict cheating”, refers to companies offering essay-writing services for a fee which is hard to-spot since the essays are written by humans or even tailored. Some British universities have seen' decline in transitional plagiarism (剿窃) but this is now being replaced by constrict cheating, figures show.
Experts have warned that essay mills have become more common, not only in Britain, but also across the world in recent years, with labor being outsourced to unemployed university graduates in counties like Kenya, India and Pakistan. Dr. Irene, academician manager at Coventry University and vice president European Network for Academic Integrity, said these figures are just the tip of the iceberg since so many instances go unnoticed. She added that students are being “bombarded (轰炸)” with advertisements for essay mills on social media as well as on campus.
