From Antigua to Zanzibar，these spots promise an incredible trip for 2019.
Antigua，Guatemala
“Antigua is worth every penny，but that doesn’t mean you’ll have to empty your wallet，” says Hudson.There are plenty of budget-conscious activities.It won’t cost you a coin to visit Santo Domingo del Cerro，an outdoor sculpture park.Wanting something sweet? Head to ChocoMuseo.Admission is free and so are the samples!
Odessa，Ukraine
Odessa is having a bit of a tourism boom nationwide—not that we’re surprised，given its sandy beaches and pastel-colored buildings—but it’s still fairly under the order for international audiences.You can also count on this port city for affordable fun.Tickets to the Odessa Opera House start at a mere $2!
Bogotá，Colombia
“Travelers on budget will find Colombia’s vast capital far more of a bargain and every bit as fascinating，” says Hudson.“It’s free to visit Museo de Oro and on Sundays many of the big roads are closed to accommodate food carts，street entertainers，and pedestrians.”
Zanzibar
Zanzibar attracts vacationers with its white sand beaches，greenish-blue tides，colorful coral reefs，and oceanfront seaside.Of course，wandering in historic Stone Town is pretty appealing too.Either way，you needn’t spend a penny in this amazing place.It’s also worth noting that Jozani Forest is the only place in the world you can see endangered red colobus monkeys.

(2019·广州高中毕业班综合测试一)
When Lina was awoken by the sound of thunder，she was alone on the island.The air was cool and bullfrogs croaked.It was that brief moment when the summer sun had set but the stars hadn’t yet appeared.Lina rubbed her eyes and looked around.
“Hello？” she called.“Celia? Marie？”
There was no response.
The moon was rising now，shedding light on the island.They had always called it “Forgotten Island” because no one but they seemed to remember its existence.It wasn’t on any of the maps they could find，and even the forest rangers didn’t know about it.Lina loved that the island，
hidden in a heavily-wooded side stream of the river，was a secret between the three friends—her，Celia，and Marie.
But now Lina was here alone，and it was night.Worse still，it was her own fault.
“Come on，Lina，let Marie row the boat.” Celia had said.Marie was two years older than Lina，but she was a hopeless rower.That’s why Lina refused and rowed the boat to the island.The argument that followed the refusal took the usual form.Celia took Marie’s side，as she always did.Lina had exploded and yelled at them to just leave.So they got back in the boat and left.
A bolt of lightning crossed the darkened sky，accompanied by a deafening thunder clap.The storm was here.As the first cold raindrop slid down her neck，Lina’s mind returned to her current problem.She was stuck here by herself.She just hoped she didn’t become as forgotten as the island.The thought of it sent a chill(寒意)down her back.
Suddenly，Lina spotted something in the water.It was a boat，and inside it were Marie，Celia，and Marie’s dad，who was steering through the fast flowing waters.As the boat approached，they saw Lina waving and the worried expressions on their faces turned to relief.
In her excitement Lina jumped into the river.Only once she was in the icy water did she remember how fast the water was moving.Luckily a strong arm reached into the water and pulled her out.She smiled weakly at Marie’s dad and，without a word，hugged Celia and Marie.They didn’t seem to mind becoming wet.
4．What can be inferred about the island?
A．It is very near the ocean.
B．It is a popular place for boating.
C．It is surrounded by thick forest.
D．It has never been reached by others.
答案 C
解析推理判断题。根据第四段最后一句“Lina loved that the island，hidden in a heavily-wooded side stream of the river，was a secret between the three friends—her，Celia，and Marie.”可知小岛隐藏在一条树木繁茂的河边，故可推知小岛是被浓密的森林包围着。故选C。5．Why did Lina get angry?
A．Marie did not help row the boat.
B．Lina was left alone on the island.
C．Marie didn’t know how to row the boat.
D．Celia supported Marie in the disagreement.
答案 D
解析细节理解题。根据第六段倒数第三句“Celia took Marie’s side，as she always did.”可知西莉亚一如既往地站在玛丽一边，这使得丽娜很生气，故选D。
6．What caused Lina to feel a chill?
A．Her shame about the unnecessary argument.
B．The first raindrop of the approaching storm.
C．The idea that no one would come to save her.
D．The drop in temperature as the sun went down.
答案 C
解析细节理解题。根据倒数第三段最后两句可知丽娜一想到自己可能会像这个岛一样被遗忘，没有人来救她，不禁感受到一阵寒意，故选C。
7．Who pulled Lina out of the water?
A．Marie’s father. B．Lina herself.
C．Marie. D．Celia.
答案 A
解析细节理解题。根据最后一段倒数第二、三句“Luckily a strong arm reached into the water and pulled her out.She smiled weakly at Marie’s dad...”可知一只强壮的手臂伸进水里把她拉了出来，这正是Marie的父亲，故选A。
C
While elephants born without tusks(长牙)are not unheard of，they normally form just 2 to 6 percent of the population.However，that is not the case at Mozambique’s Gorongosa National Park，where an astonishing 33 percent of female elephants born after the country’s civil war ended in 1992 are tuskless.While that may appear to be just a coincidence，Joyce Poole，an elephant behavior expert，has another theory.The researcher thinks we may be witnessing unnatural evolution of the species due to the constant hunting of elephants for valuable ivory.
Poole says before the country’s 15-year-long civil war，the 100,000-acre park was home to over 4,000 elephants.However，by the time the conflict ended in 1992，about 90 percent of them had been killed for ivory to help finance weapons(武器) and meat to feed the soldiers.Of the less than 200 survivors，over 50 percent of adult females had no tusks.Therefore，it is not surprising that
the park’s tuskless elephant population has grown greatly.
This is not the first time researchers have observed a great change in the population of elephants.At Zambia’s South Luangwa National Park and Lupande Game Management Area，areas which were heavily hunted in the 1970s and 1980s,35% of elephants 25 years or older and 13% of those younger than 25 are now without tusks.A 2008 study published in the African Journal of Ecology found that the number of tuskless females at the Ruaha National Park in Tanzania went from 10.5 percent in 1969 to almost 40 percent in 1989，largely due to illegal hunting for ivory.
The recent ban on ivory in both the US and China should help get rid of，or at least reduce，elephant hunting.However，scientists are not sure how long it will take for elephants with a higher rate of tuskless females，to change the trend.
8．What is the probable cause of the phenomenon mentioned in Paragraph 1?
A．Illegal hunting.
B．Constant farming.
C．A pure coincidence.
D．Natural evolution.
答案 A
解析细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句可知，越来越多无牙母象出现的原因是非法狩猎，故选A。
9．Why did people kill so many elephants during the civil war in Mozambique?
A．To get funds by selling ivory.
B．To develop new weapons.
C．To provide food for local people.
D．To make ivory products.
答案 A
解析细节理解题。根据第二段第二句可知，在莫桑比克内战期间，人们杀死那么多大象是为了通过出售象牙来获得资金，故选A。
10．Which of the following had the earliest record on tuskless elephants?
A．Gorongosa National Park.
B．South Luangwa National Park.
C．The Ruaha National Park.
D．Lupande Game Management Area.
答案 C
解析细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句可知，关于无牙大象的最早记录是在坦桑尼亚的罗哈国家公园，故选C。
11．What does the underlined phrase “the trend” in the last paragraph refer to? A．Elephants facing greater danger.
B．Elephants growing more slowly.
C．Fewer female elephants staying alive.
D．More female elephants being tuskless.
答案 D
解析词义猜测题。由画线词所在的句子“However，scientists are not sure how long it will take for elephants with a higher rate of tuskless females，to change the trend.”可知，the trend指的是更多的母象没有象牙，故选D。
D
When it comes to focusing at work，there is no lack of things to take responsibility for our wandering minds.Refreshing Twitter，scanning the news，talking with colleagues about small beer.But there’s one possible cause of frequent distraction(分心)．Our work isn’t complex enough，and there isn’t enough of it.
This idea isn’t popular，especially with those who feel they’re already working busily.Actually complex tasks demand more of our working memory and attention，with little mental distraction.We get bored when our skills go beyond the demands of our work.And we feel anxious when the demands of a task go beyond our skills.Understanding your skill level，and matching this with a worthy task will make you more likely to be fully devoted to your work.Besides questioning the complexity of tasks，it’s worth reflecting on whether you have enough work to do in general.If not，you’re inviting distraction.
Think back to your last deadline.That timeline offers you no distractions like using social media.Our workload tends to expand to fit the time available for the completion of work.Small tasks that should take two hours will take an entire workday if we have that time available.Distractions are to blame for this time trap.
A few years ago，after I finished a report on a tight deadline，I continued to be just as busy.I entered my social media accounts when I should have been working.I checked new emails constantly.I felt guilty when I wasn’t busy，and I alleviated this guilt by filling my time with busy work.
Later I realized busy work couldn’t really bring the relief，for the guilt came from the fact that I was working without intention.When we have more to do，choosing what we do ahead of time becomes necessary.Therefore，if you have distraction，consider that you might need to work harder on projects that will fill your days and enrich your life.
12．What do people usually blame for being distracted?
A．The absence of work complexity.
B．Their colleagues’ lack of teamwork.
C．Social media or chats with colleagues.
D．The tiredness after hours of hard work.
答案 C
解析细节理解题。第一段引出作者的观点，说人们工作时会分心，这是因为工作不够复杂，或者工作量不够，但是我们却总是把责任归咎于更新推特、浏览新闻和与同事闲聊等，总结信息可得出，人们通常会将他们的分心归咎于C项“社交媒体或是和同事的闲聊”。13．When will we feel anxious at work?
A．When we don’t have enough tasks to do.
B．When our ability can’t meet job requirements.
C．When we are busy with work for a long while.
D．When we spend too much time on social media.
答案 B
解析细节理解题。根据第二段第四句“And we feel anxious when the demands of a task go beyond our skills.”可知，当我们的工作要求超过了我们的能力时，我们就会感到焦虑，因此选B。
14．Which of the following can best explain the underlined word “alleviated” in Paragraph 4? A．Forgot. B．Researched.
C．Deepened. D．Eased.
答案 D
解析词义猜测题。根据画线词后面的“by filling my time with busy work”和第五段第一句
“Later I realized busy work couldn’t really bring the relief...”可知，该词与bring the relief相对应，意为“减轻，缓解”，因此选D。
15．What’s the author’s suggestion on dealing with distraction?
A．Work hard with the intention to fill our life.
B．Balance between our work and social activities.
C．Expand our workload to fit the time available.
D．Remove the sense of guilt about mind’s wandering away.
答案 A
解析推理判断题。根据最后一段中“guilt came...working without intention”“consider that you might need to work harder on projects that will fill your days and enrich your life”可知，作者认为内疚来自工作无计划，如果我们工作时分心，就要考虑在一些能丰富我们生活的事上多做努力。由此推知，作者建议有计划地在能丰富我们生活的事情上努力，因此选A。

八年级语文课外阅读训练50篇(含答案） 1.父亲的院落 ①父亲到城里来，几天之后，就腰酸腿痛，唉声叹气：“这哪是人住的啊，还 不把人憋死？”说完不久，就回到了他的院落。 ②父亲永远留恋着自己那三间瓦房，还有一个院子。 ③父亲的院落在乡下，依然是矮墙，上面杂生着枯草；依然是三间瓦房，在夕阳下， 扯出一缕袅袅的炊烟。父亲坐在院落里，抽着烟，烤着火，间或咳嗽两声。 ④在乡下的院子里，父亲才算找回了真实的自己。他可以粗声武气地大笑，可 以大声喊叫邻居来喝茶，可以找年龄相当的人谈今年的雨水和收成，可以打开鸡笼，大声吆喝着鸡；也可以对母亲高声说着今天要吃什么饭，放点地里长的大白菜，或者豆角。 ⑤在小院里，父亲永远是个主人，而不是客人。 ⑥春天来了，雨水一落，父亲就会在墙角空地上用棍子插些小洞，放进豆种， 然后，沿墙一周插上篱笆。不久，几场春雨飘落下来，父亲那些豆子，就会一颗颗破土而出，长出肥嫩的芽儿，顺着风长长，长高。父亲从坡上回来，站在院子里，看着这些豆秧一根根顺着篱笆而上，伸长了身子，舒展着叶子，就会高兴得哈哈大笑，摸着胡茬：那种得意，就如面对自己的孙子一样。 ⑦夏天之后，院子里，丝瓜拉成架，豆荚顺着篱笆爬上墙头。做饭时，父亲会 踩着凳子去摘，然后洗净了，交给母亲，放在锅里炒着。在放了油的烧红了的锅里，豆角快活地发出“咝啦咝啦”的响声。父亲坐在院子里，坐在豆棚瓜架下，轻轻地摇着蒲扇，摇出一院的清凉。 ⑧到了秋天，院中的葡萄熟了，父亲会很认真地照看着，不许鸟雀啄食，让一 颗颗葡萄珠圆玉润地鼓胀着，晶莹着，由小变大，由绿变紫，变灰。这时，父亲总会打电话告诉我们，让我们回来吃葡萄。 ⑨当然，一般情况下，我们是难以回家的。不久，父亲就进城来了，拿着袋子， 里面装着葡萄，一颗一颗，水灵而饱满。等我们都回来了，父亲才拿出来，一串一串摆在桌上，摆得很慢，很细致，摆出一脸的成就感。 ⑩冬天，父亲会感到寂寞，没有了瓜菜豆秧陪伴的父亲，坐在院子里，就像没有朋友聊天一样，显得形单影只，显得无奈和怅w?ng。这时，他会拢起火，坐在火堆前编起背篓，还有竹筐。竹篾是山上自栽的竹子织成的，父亲剖开竹子，划成竹丝。竹丝在父亲龟裂的手上跳跃着，翻动着，仿佛有生命的精灵一样。这些竹器，就成了家用的东西，但更多的则送给了同村的人。父亲喜欢别人讨用这些东西，每到这时，他的脸上会露出满足的笑，用他的话说：“人家要，是给咱长脸。” 对父亲来说，院落里的一切，都是他的，其实，他也需要这一切。 （1）阅读第⑩段，根据拼音写汉字，并给加横线字注音。 怅w?ng（）龟（）裂

2019届上海高三英语二模汇编--阅读B篇(解析版)
2019届高三英语二模汇编——阅读B篇 1、2019黄浦二模 Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (B) ● Stocky, slow-moving whale, rarely grows beyond 15 metres in length ● Flippers are a third of body length; variable dorsal fin size and shape; saw-toothed trailing edge on flukes, often raised when diving ● Bumpy tubercles on top of head ● Body colour is dark brown to black; often extensive white on flippers and underside of body and flukes; such patterns enable individual recognition ● Bushy blow, occasionally V-shaped ● 270-400 olive baleen plates Humpback whales belong to the rorqual (groove-throated) family, which includes fin, sei, Bryde’s, minke and blue whales. The big family migrate between winter tropical breeding areas (North West Shelf, Great Barrier Reef, New Caledonia, Vanuatu, Fiii, Tonga) and summer Antarctic feeding areas. Once common in New Zealand waters, humpbacks are now rarely seen and may migrate further offshore. Males compete for mates either by physical fight or by song. Females give birth to their young every two to three years; some non-breeding females probably remain in the southern waters during winter. Young humpback whales return to their area of birth but in later life some wander between breeding areas. Humpbacks eat small shrimps and other schooling prey, such as fish, forming small, cooperative groups of two to three individuals to feed. Similar species: Easily identifiable due to a ‘hump’ back when submerging, but at a distance may be confused with other species that raise their flukes when diving, such as sperm, right and blue whales. Protection status:Recovering well from past whaling and now numerous in some former migration and aggregation areas, rarely seen in others.

1 Artificial Intelligence: Friend And Foe[M] 人工智能：亦敌亦友 来源: FORBES DEC. 26 2017 1 Artificial intelligence has a huge role to play on both sides of the cybersecurity equation. The industry faces a protracted and severe skill shortage. AI can perform both rote management tasks more quickly and efficiently, without getting bored or distracted. It can also learn new and better security practices from the evolving digital framework it inhabits. (1) In ou r world whe re conne cti vit y has far ou tpac ed securit y, int ell igent a gents that ca n h eal and defend themse lves are invaluabl e all ies. Machine learning has already proven effective in sandbox environments at exploring potential vulnerabilities and devising defenses.、 2 But cybercriminals are developing their own AI, and are unlikely to do so ethically. In legitimate lab settings, AI can be carefully monitored and trained for years to be predictable and reliable. (2)Cybercriminals are less likely to avoid these potentially dangerous side effects, favoring speed over safet y. Malware rings resembling intelligent swarms of (一大群) angry bees are already starting to appear, weaponizing devices against their owners. 3 It is the rise of the hive (数据仓库工具) . Today the term botnet refers to automated, zombie-like devices that are remotely programmed to target other vulnerable systems with malware (恶意软件) , or to infect them via blunt-force attacks, such as denial of service. Botnets are dangerous and account for billions of unauthorized network communications every quarter. The hivenet, however, is much more frightening because each unit of the hivenet, a swarmbot, will itself be powered by AI. (3)Swarmbots will be able to make autonomous decisions without relying on a botnet herder and join togethe r int o larger autonom ous thi nking networks. The potential for hivenet damage is substantially greater than anything we have faced from already-potent botnets. 4 (4)That’s why one of the most serious threats we face in 2018 and beyond is malware with the capa cit y to learn and gro w throu gh it s own su cces ses . Polymorphic (多态的) malware with pre-coded algorithms (算法) designed to subvert (破坏) countermeasures and screens is already a reality. But that approach simply generates millions of slight variations on the same theme. Nextgen Al- generated malware will be aware and capable of adapting itself. 5 (5)Instead of sim pl y f oll owing a set of pre -p rogramm ed inst ructi ons, it will select targets of opportuni t y, assess th eir weakness es, dev elo p a plan of att ack and cover it s tracks. And it will make intelligent decisions about what information to exfiltrate, and when. (6) In sh ort , tom orrow’s A I
