    What can holidaymakers in Argentina do in the country? Express.co.uk spoke to the travel experts to find out more.

    The best time to visit Argentina

    If you want to avoid crowds and peak prices while still enjoying everything offered, Lloyd, Director of Sunvil Latin America, advises visiting from October to mid-December and April to mid-June.

    If you want to see the Patagonia penguins(企鹅), Tom Bourlet, a travel blogger, advises going between October and March.

    The best places to visit in Argentina

    "Buenos Aires is a melting pot of cultures," said Tom Hughes, "Here travellers will discover a wealth of culture, not to mention it is the birthplace of a fast dance, tango. Nature lovers should head to the world's largest waterfall system, Iguazu Falls."

    "I highly recommend San Carlos de Bariloche," Tom Bourlet said. "It's a quite beautiful and fantastic, and also acts as a good base for exploring the Lake District."

    "The best holiday destination in Argentina is Patagonia. The most famous place is Ushuaia—the southernmost city in the world. Expect glaciers(冰川), national parks, wildlife and end of the world cruising," said Lloyd.

    The best accommodation in Argentina

    Lloyd advises avoiding some of the chain hotels. "While it may be attractive to stay at famous hotels, I recommend some of the smaller boutique hotels in the city," he said.

    Bourlet also recommends staying in some of Argentina's more unique accommodation, such as a youth hostel and a boutique hotel in the heart of Argentina's wine country.

    (1)、Which time is available for tourists to observe penguins?
    A、May 1st. B、July 24th. C、September 3rd. D、November 11th.
    (2)、What makes Buenos Aires worth visiting especially?
    A、Tango was born there. B、Its scenery is quite beautiful. C、Tourists can explore in national parks. D、It is the southernmost city in the world.
    (3)、Where do both Lloyd and Bourlet advise staying?
    A、A chain hotel. B、A youth hostel. C、A boutique hotel. D、A well-known hotel.
  • 22. 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、和D)中,选出最佳选项。(共4小题;每小题2分,满分8分)

    Shimon, a four-armed robot with a ball-like head, holds small mallets(球棍) in "hands" to play a kind of music called a marimba. As he plays, his head moves around in time to the music.

    Using "deep learning", Shimon was taught to write his own music. He could not only make up his own music, but do it in real time, while playing with other musicians. This is called "improvising".

    Now he is back with a whole bunch of new tricks. He can write the words to his own songs, and sing them. Shimon learned to write the words for the songs the same way he learned to write music – by being "fed" thousands of examples. Shimon was trained on the lyrics (歌词) to 50,000 songs.

    Georgia Tech professor Gil Weinberg, who leads the Shimon project, gets Shimon going with a starting idea. Shimon then writes the lyrics based around that idea. Mr. Weinberg usually provides much of the music for the songs, but Shimon helps out there, too.

    Singing the songs is another story. To give Shimon a voice, the Georgia Tech team worked with experts at Pompeu Fabra University. The voice was created using AI and sounds very much like a man.

    Later this spring, the team plans to put out an album of about 8-10 of Shimon's songs. The album will be released on the music streaming service Spotify. There are also plans for Shimon to go on tour with a band to play and sing his songs live.

    For Mr. Weinberg, that's the main goal behind the Shimon Project – not to have robots take over, but to have robots and humans make something beautiful together.

    (1)、What's the main purpose of Paragraph 1?
    A、To describe what the robot looks like. B、To tell readers how Shimon performs. C、To arouse readers'curiosity to read further. D、To advertise functions of the robot Shimon. 
    (2)、What skill does Shimon NOT have?
    A、Writing music. B、Releasing albums. C、Singing songs. D、Playing the marimba.
    (3)、How does Shimon gain the ability to write lyrics?
    A、By deep learning. B、By copying songs. C、By feeding himself. D、By teaching himself.
    (4)、What does the Shimon Project mainly aim to?
    A、Have Shimon achieve more amazing skills. B、Make robots take the place of human beings. C、Carry out a music tour to make more profits. D、Have Robots and humans work hand in hand.

    On Monday, about 270 pilot whales got into difficulty on a sandbank at Macquarie Heads, near Strahan on Tasmania's west coast, about 190 kilometres from Hobart. Another 200 of the animals were found early on Wednesday, making it Tasmania's largest recorded stranding event. The Department of Primary Industry, Parks, Water and Environment (DPIPWE) said that about a third had died.

    Marine biologists arrived in the area to carry out rescue operations. They planned to use specialized equipment such as special tarpaulins to push the whales back into the deep water. The local police also assisted in the rescue.
    The whales that were stranded are Pilot Whales, and they are found in almost all the oceans of the world, according to the Marine conservation group. Pilot whales are in fact one of the largest members of the dolphin family, but they are treated as whales for the Marine Mammals Protection Regulations issued in 1992.They were named pilot whales because it was thought that each pod followed a ‘pilot' in the group.

    Cetacean stranding, commonly known as beaching, is a phenomenon in which whales and dolphins strand themselves on land, usually on a beach. Several explanations for why cetaceans strand themselves have been proposed, including changes in water temperatures, unusual features of whales' echo location in certain surroundings, and geomagnetic disturbances, but none have so far been universally accepted as a definitive reason for the behavior.

    In recent years, whale strandings have become more frequent around the world. In November 2018, a dead sperm whale that had washed ashore in eastern Indonesia consumed a horrifying collection of plastic trash, including 115 drinking cups, 25 plastic bags, plastic bottles, two flip-flops and a bag containing more than 1,000 pieces of string. In all, the plastic contents of the whale's stomach weighed 13.2 pound (six kilograms). The bags are black due to a reaction with the creature's stomach acids, according to Thai Whales organization. A person, on average, breathes or swallows at least 74,000 microscopic particles of plastic each year.

    (1)、How many whales died according to DPIPWE?
    A、About 160. B、About 200. C、About 270. D、About 470.
    (2)、What does the underlined word "stranding" mean in Paragraph 1?
    A、Being put into danger. B、Being trapped in trouble. C、Being found in extinction. D、Being left or driven ashore.
    (3)、What does the author want to tell us by the numbers in Paragraph 5?
    A、Whales mistake plastics for food. B、Whales need the ability of self-protection. C、Whales' living conditions are worsening. D、Whales have an excellent digestive system.
    (4)、What will be discussed probably following the last paragraph? 
    A、Protective measures for whales. B、The reasons for whale stranding. C、Studying whales' stomach deeply. D、Researching the oceans' ecosystem.
  • 24. 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、和D)中,选出最佳选项。(共4小题;每小题2分,满分8分)

    The student arrived early, sat front and center, and stood out in my classroom in more ways than one. I'd say that he had about 40 years on his classmates in my class. He eagerly jumped into class discussions, with his self-deprecating humor and wisdom of experience. And he was always respectful of the other students' opinions, as if each of them were a teacher. Jerry Valencia walked in with a smile-and he left with one too.

    One day, Valencia said he would have to stop taking classes that semester and reapply for next year. By then, he hoped to have earned enough money from construction jobs and have his student-loan papers in order. But he said he was still coming to campus to attend events or see friends. He asked seriously whether he could still sit in on my communications class.

    Sure, I said. But he wouldn't get any credit. No problem, he said.

    Soon there he was again, back at his old desk, front and center, jumping into our discussions on how to find and tell stories in Los Angeles – a 63-year-old junior with as much energy and curiosity as any of the youngsters in class.

    "Here he is, willingly taking a class for the joy of it and benefit of learning," says Jessica Espinosa, a 25-year old junior. "You may not see that in our generation."

    Valencia showed up and took the final exam too. Afterward, I overheard Valencia say he wanted to stay in school until he earned a master's degree, but it had taken him 12 years to finish community college, so he had a long way to go.

    Twelve years? He was in and out of school, he said, subject to his work schedule and whether he had money for classes. He had earned his associate of arts degree over the summer, then transferred to Cal State LA to start on his bachelor's.

    (1)、What's Paragraph 1 mainly about?
    A、Valencia's daily life at school. B、Valencia's interest in learning. C、Valencia's participation in class. D、Valencia's academic performance.
    (2)、What can be inferred from Paragraph 2?
    A、Valencia gave up taking classes. B、Loans supported Valencia's life. C、Valencia met with financial problems. D、Valencia was prepared to reapply for classes.
    (3)、What can we learn from Jessica's words?
    A、Jessica dislikes the way Valencia learns. B、Young people benefit a lot from learning. C、Young students are content with learning. D、She appreciates Valencia's attitude to study.
    (4)、Which can be a suitable title for the text?
    A、Curiosity is source of success. B、A person is never too old to learn. C、Kindness deserves being respected. D、The early bird catches the first worm.

    More and more Chinese are jogging to stay healthy. Most joggers will run alone, but some will jog with friends or even coaches. The Beijing Olympic Forest Park is one of the most popular spots.

    Jogging after a whole day's work can be a way to relax people. It is true for He Wenjun, whose workplace is right near the Beijing Olympic Forest Park. She discovered her athletic talent at the age of seven, when she began playing tennis. Then she turned to jogging, and she has kept it for 10 years.

    "I come to jog almost every day after work, whenever I have time. And for me, a girl, it helps me to keep slim, " she said.

    She says she prefers jogging alone, so she can focus better. She loves jogging, even during Beijing's smoggy days. "If the smog is severe, I'll hold off for a while. But if I really want to get away from work, I'll wear a mask and go on jogging, " she said.

    Wu Houbin started two years ago, when he was overweight. Within two months, his weight dropped from 82 kilograms to 64 kilograms. The success helped him recover health, and he has made friends.

    Jogging does not require speed. If you want to stick to the game, you need to take it as a habit, and then eventually a hobby.

    Jogging is beneficial for heartlung function, but improper technique damages your knees and ankles. And, jogging in a bad environment can cause some serious problems. So you should first consider your physical condition. It is advised to jog three or four times a week, and 30 to 60 minutes each time. The best time to jog is around 4 p. m. —5 p. m.

    A. Jogging is good for my health.
    B. But keeping jogging is not always easy.
    C. Jogging helps people be liked by their friends.
    D. And then decide the amount and type of exercise.
    E. Nothing can stop me jogging even in the terrible weather.
    F. For those who are not so athletic, jogging also has its attractions.
    G. It is filled with runners in the afternoon, usually after work and at weekends.

    I'm Yuan Longping. Look at my sunburnt face and arms and my slim strong body and you will think I'm like a farmer than a scientist. In fact I(struggle) for the past five decades to help (farmer). In 1974, I began to grow a so-called super hybrid rice. This special strain of rice makespossible to produce one-third more crops in the same area.

    I was born into a poor farmer's family in 1931. When I was young, I saw many people go hungry often. So I have devoted myself to (find) ways to increase rice harvest without expanding the area of fields since I graduated from Southwest Agriculture College in 1953. Now more than 60% of the rice  (produce) in China each year is from this hybrid strain. I am popularizing this knowledge in India, Vietnam and other less developed countries to increase their harvest. Perhaps you think I am rich.(actual) I live a simple life. I care little about money. In my opinion, a person with too much money will have more troubles. I don't want to be famous  I prefer to have more time to do my research. In my free time I love listening to music, playing mahjong and reading. I once had a dream, in  I saw rice plants as tall as sorghum and each ear of rice was as big as an ear of com and each grain of rice was as huge as a peanut. Now I have another dream—to export my rice so that it can (grow) all over the world.
