There is no better way to enjoy Scottish traditions than going fishing and tasting a little whisky(威士忌) at a quiet place like the Inverlochy Castle. When Queen Victoria visited there in 1873 she wrote in her diary, “I never saw a lovelier spot,” And she didn't even go fishing.
Scotland is not easily defined. In certain moments, this quiet land of lakes and grass mountains changes before your very eyes. When evening gently sweeps the hillside into orange, the rivers, teeming with fish, can turn into streams of gold. As you settle down with just a people and a basket on the bank of River Orchy, near the Inverlochy Castle, any frustration will float away as gently as the circling water. It's just you and purple, pink, white flowers, a perfect harmony. If you are a new comer to fishing, learning the basics from a fishing guide may leave you with a lifetime's fun. For many, fishing is more than a sport; it is an art.
Scotland offers interesting place where you can rest after a long day's fishing. Set against a wild mountain and hidden behind woodland, the beautiful Inverlochy Castle Hotel below the Nevis is a perfect place to see the beauty of Scotland's mountains. Ben Nevis is the highest of mountains, and reaching its 1342-metre top is a challenge. But it's not just what goes up that matters; what comes down is unique. More than 900 metres high, on the mountain's north face, lies an all-important source of pure water. Its name comes form the Gaelic language "usqueb" or "water of life"; and it is the single most important ingredient(原料) in Scotland's best known whisky.
24．The story of Queen Victoria is to show that .
A．the queen is rich in tour experience B．the Castle is a good place to go in Scotland
C．tasting whisky is better than going fishing D．1873 is a special year for the queen
25．How is Paragraph 2 mainly developed?
A．By giving descriptions. B．By following time order.
C．By analyzing causes. D．By making comparisons.
26．What is Ben Nevis special for?
A．The Inverlochy Castle Hotel. B．The beauty of its surroundings.
C．The water from the mountain. D．The challenge up to its top.
27．What is the main purpose of the passage?
A．To introduce Scottish traditions to tourists.
B．To show the attractions of Scotland to readers.
C．To explore geographical characteristics of Scotland.
D．To describe the pleasures of life in Scotland.
C
Education officials and industry experts are debating the future of online learning. The discussion is important because hundreds of universities in the United States have recently moved classes online because of the spread of the novel coronavirus（冠状病毒）.
For Asha Choksi, the rise of Internet-based or online study programs has led to major improvements in higher education. “It’s actually given a lot more power to students in terms of how, when and where they learn,” the head of research for Pearson Education said.
Classes meet online through video conferencing. In this way, students are able to communicate with each other and their professors even when they are far away from school. However, recent research suggests the majority of college students and professors prefer in-person instruction, because they are concerned that companies supervising（监管）online learning programs are not clear about the policies the schools have.
“Students see in-class lectures as opportunities to engage with instructors, peers, and content.” the researchers wrote. In-person learning is especially important in fields like healthcare and teaching. Online education can never really take its place, said Stephanie Hall, a fellow with the independent policy research group The Century Foundation. “Students need to experience...what they’re learning about, reading about or hearing about in the classroom. And I don’t know yet the degree to which technology can facilitate that.”
“When schools make agreements with online program managers to run their online programs, they often do not make important information available to students,” Hall said. This includes how much control the company has over the design of the program or whether the teacher leading the classes was involved in their design. In addition, many colleges and universities advertise online programs as a low cost opportunity for students. But in some cases, students attending in-person classes get financial aid and online students do not.
28. What does Choksi think of the online study programs?
A. They offer students more choices in study. B. They reform the country’s education system.
C. They provide advanced scientific knowledge. D. They promote the development of technology.
29. According to most college students and professors, what’s the advantage of in-person learning?
A. It is convenient. B. It costs less to study.
C. It can better meet school policies. D. It can improve students’ communication skills.
30. What does the underlined word “facilitate” probably mean in paragraph 4?
A. change B. apply C. achieve D. control
31. What is Hall’s attitude towards online education?
A. Hopeful. B. Critical. C. Uncaring. D. Neutral.
D
Do you want to live another 100 years or more? Some experts say that scientific advances will one day enable humans to last tens of years beyond what is now seen as the natural limit of the human life span.
“I think we are knocking at the door of immortality(永生),” said Michael Zey, a Montclair State University business professor and author of two books on the future. “I think by 2075 we will see it and that’s a conservative estimate(保守的估计).”
At the conference in San Francisco, Donald Louria, a professor at New Jersey Medical School in Newark said advances in using genes as well as nanotechnology(纳米技术) make it likely that humans will live in the future beyond what was possible in the past. “There is a great effort so that people can live from 120 to 180 years,” he said. “Some have suggested that there is no limit and that people could live to 200 or 300 or 500 years.”
However, many scientists who specialize in aging are doubtful about it and say the human body is just not designed to last past about 120 years. Even with healthier lifestyles and less disease, they say failure of the brain and organs will finally lead all humans to death.
Scientists also differ on what kind of life the super aged might live. “It remains to be seen if you pass 120, you know; could you be healthy enough to have good quality of life?” said Leonard Poon, director of the University of Georgia Gerontology Centre. “At present people who could get to that point are not in good health at all.”
32．By saying“we are knocking at the door of immortality”,Michael Zey means_________.
A．they have got some ideas about living forever
B．they believe that there is no limit of living
C．they are able to make people live past the present life span
D．they are sure to find the truth about long living
33．Donald Louria’s attitude towards long living is that________.
A．the human body is designed to last past about 120 years
B．it is possible for humans to live longer in the future
C．it is still doubtful how long humans can live
D．people can live from 120 to 180
34．The underlined word“it”(in Paragraph 4)refers to________.
A．a great effort B．the conservative estimate
C．the idea of living from 200 to 300 years
D．the idea of living beyond the present life span
35．What would be the best title for this text?
A．No Limit for Human Life
B．Living Longer or not
C．the relationship amongScience,Technology and Long Living
D．Healthy Lifestyle and Long Living

How to Communicate With a Deaf Person
Communicating with a deaf person doesn’t have to be as difficult as it might seem. The trick is to be patient, straightforward, and to remember that deaf people communicate visually. Before you know it, you’ll forget you were ever worried!
Method 1: Staring Your Conversation
36．You can do this by moving into the person’s field of vision and waving from a polite distance, or by tapping the person gently on the shoulder. If it’s a real emergency, you can also turn the lights off and on quickly.
Position yourself carefully. Make sure that the light in the room is shining directly onto your face, and that you’re not standing with your back to a light. 37．
Find out how the person prefers to communicate. Some deaf people are better lip-readers than others. Some deaf people may prefer to write back and forth or to use an interpreter. Man interactions between the deaf and the hearing require a combination of these methods. 38．
Method 2: Communicating through Lip-reading.
Keep your sentences simple and use plain language. 39．The more complex your phrasing and vocabulary, the more likely your deaf companion is to miss something. Try to avoid using slang or expressions that aren’t widely known.
When someone else is speaking, don’t turn away from the deaf person in your group. 40．You don’t have to look at the deaf person while someone else is talking, but try to make sure your face is visible.
A．Get the person’s attention.
B．It’s important not to talk too quickly.
C．Or, they’ll miss parts of the conversation.
D．If so, it’ll make them feel left out of the conversation.
E．Stand directly in front of the person, at a normal distance.
F．The best way to know which methods are most effective is to ask.
G．Try not to be too difficult when using your words in the beginning.
