Top-Rated Tourist Attractions in New Zealand

Nature has shaped New Zealand with the beauty of a movie set. Few destinations boast so many natural wonders packed into such a small area. Here are the best attractions travelers can explore.

Kaikoura, South Island

Birders, wildlife and seafood enthusiasts will love the charming coastal village of Kaikoura. Between the Seaward Kaikoura Range and the Pacific Ocean, Kaikoura offers excellent coastal hikes and popular whale watching tours. In addition to whales, passengers may spot fur seals, dolphins and a wide variety of birds.

Queenstown, South Island

Queenstown is New Zealand’s adventure capital. Bungee jumping, jet boating, rock climbing, mountain biking and downhill skiing are just some of the thrilling things to do here. In addition to the adventure sports, Queenstown offers all the comforts, with first-class hotels, spas, restaurants, galleries and shops.

Bay of Islands, North Island

A three-hour drive north of Auckland, the beautiful Bay of Islands is one of the most popular vacation destinations in the country. There are more than 144 islands on the bay, making it a perfect place for sailing. Penguins, dolphins, and whales live in these fertile waters, and the region is a popular sport-fishing spot. The odd towns in the area such as Russell, Opua and Paihia are great bases for exploring this scenic bay.

Rotorua, North Island

This is a land where the Earth speaks. Boiling mud pools, volcanic craters and steaming thermal springs(温泉)reveal the forces of New Zealand’s dramatic landscapes. Visitors can take a walking tour of these geothermal wonders and bathe in the springs while visiting the interesting attractions to learn about the region’s rich Maori history and culture.

21．Where can visitors experience extreme sports?

A．In Kaikoura. B．In Queenstown.

C．At Bay of Islands. D．In Rotorua.

22．What do we know about Bay of Islands?

A．It is suitable for fishing. B．There are several islands there.

C．There are many military bases there. D．It belongs to South Island of New Zealand.

23．What is special about Rotorua?

A．It offers coastal hike tours.

B．It offers popular whale watching tours.

C．It is the best known for varieties of wildlife.

D．It is a good place to have a thermal spring bath.

Running is undoubtedly a healthy lifestyle, but it is difficult to stick to it. I still remember one 50-minute run in particular in the spring of 2018. I made a detailed plan at first and immediately began creating a long list of excuses as to why this was simply just not going to work, why I wasn’t fit enough and why I would fail. I was afraid that I had no confidence in my plan. Before I even tied my shoes, I’d already convinced myself I couldn’t do that.

How would it go? I had quit the workout mentally before I even started. Who knows how many times I stopped and restarted my watch? I spent an awfully long afternoon sitting by the road feeling sorry for myself. One bad workout would even upset me for days. I questioned my fitness gradually and cut more workouts short. And pretty soon, my fitness gradually came to a steady level or moved backward.

The problem I gradually realized was that I treated my entire training plan like a tempo run—hard, fast, strict. In a tempo run, if you don’t hit your pace early, it’s nearly impossible to catch up. Therefore, I realized I needed to treat my training like my favorite workout: the long run. I love ignoring my watch, settling into a relaxing pace, enjoying the route and focusing on only one goal—finishing. I love that I can have a bad mile in the middle and still end up strong.

Now, when I set a new goal and write a new training plan, I have what I call “the long-run mindset”. I find success and value in my training because I’m not eager for immediate results as before. Yes, there is still an important place for hard fast tempo runs, but I have shifted my attitude to thinking bigger than short-term outcomes and work towards lifelong success.

24．How did the author first feel about his running plan?

A．Positive. B．Convinced.

C．Unsure. D．Unafraid.

25．What can we infer about the author from paragraph 2?

A．He had a poor-quality watch. B．He had a loser’s mental state.

C．His health was improving rapidly. D．His training plan was easy to follow.

26．How did the author manage to solve his problem?

A．By ignoring the finishing line.

B．By finding a tense workout pace.

C．By forgetting his previous achievements.

D．By treating the training in a different way.

27．What message does the author try to tell us?

A．Doing is better than saying. B．Think twice before you leap.

C．A good plan makes a good ending. D．It’s an attitude of mind that counts.

There may be a reason why astronauts are crazy about the view from space but never mention the food. Astronauts aboard the International Space Station must drink meals out of a plastic squeeze-bag because of zero gravity. Food in space can only be reheated instead of being cooked fresh. Besides, meals for each crew member must be stored in advance and eaten in order. All of this may sound a little difficult to accept.

Therefore, it was one small step for interstellar (星际的) cuisine when U. S. astronaut Megan McArthur recently posted photos of herself holding a pancakes stuffedwith beef, tomatoes and a fresh hatch chilli grown aboard the International Space Station itself.

“Best space pancakes yet.” She shared online.

Pesquet, a French astronaut, posted on Instagram, “It is such a joy to grow (and eat) your own food, and necessary for further exploration of our Solar System.” It seems there is a suitcase-sized space garden aboard the ISS (International Space Station) that holds about six “pillows” stuffed with clay and fertilizer, and a LED light. Astronauts have grown several kinds of vegetables including Chinese cabbage and red Russian kale (羽衣甘蓝) in this micro-plot, to test which plants might grow best during a long space voyage.

We called Melva Aguirre, who owns the Pepper Pot in Hatch, N. M., home of hatch chilli. She says the harvest of their famous local crop in outer space is the talk of the town. “Now the whole universe knows how great our chilli are,” she said. When I asked if she could recommend a hatch chilli recipe, Aguirre told me, “Just stuff it.” “Stuff it?” I asked, and she laughed and said, “I mean, in your mouth.” A recipe even I can follow.

28. From the first paragraph, we can know that ________ .

A. Astronauts are crazy about the food they eat in the space station

B. The food in the space station can be cooked in various ways

C. Astronauts aboard the space station can’t have meals as they wish

D. Astronauts don’t care about what they eat in the space station

29. Which of the following best explains the underlined word “stuffed” in Paragraph 2?

A. Subscribed. B. Filled.

C. Poured. D. Revealed.

30. Astronauts grow Chinese cabbage and other vegetables aboard the ISS mainly to ________ .

A. kill the spare minutes B. entertain themselves during the voyage

C. explore the universe D. test for the plants growing best

31. What is the best title for the passage?

A. Challenges Astronauts Face in Space.

B. The Best Food Ever for Space Voyages.

C. Fine Dining on the International Space Station.

D. The Constant Steps of Human’s Space Exploration.

Researchers from The University of Queensland(UQ) have helped design a new app to protect birds at risk of extinction across the world by eliminating language barriers among scientists. The Bird Language Diversity web app will help provide a “birds eye view”, ensuring vital information is shared to improve worldwide conservation.

UQ’s Dr Pablo Negret said the research team analysed more than 10,000 bird species, and found that 1,587 species have 10 languages or more spoken within their distributions. “Scientific information on species can be spread across different languages, but valuable information can go missing or get lost in translation,” Dr Negret said. “Without enough sharing of information, this can affect the effectiveness of conservation measures.”

Take the common bird Pochard for example. It is classified as vulnerable species(易危种)and crosses 108 countries in Europe, Asia and north Africa, where a total of 75 official languages are spoken. The survival of the common Pochard, and so many other species, depends on effective cooperation and policy agreements among people with diverse linguistic and cultural backgrounds.

This app reveals where threatened and migratory birds exist geographically, in relation to the language spoken in those regions. “We hope the app will encourage researchers and conservation organisations to interact with their peers in other regions, especially if they speak different languages, and be a starting point to allow everyone to work together to protect threatened species.” Dr Negret said.

Dr Tatsuya Amano, a researcher and the co-author of the paper, said this work could extend further than bird species. “Any species, whether they’re mammals, amphibians(两栖动物), or plants, with a range crossing multiple countries will be impacted by language barriers, as well as species that migrate across different countries, such as marine species and butterflies,” he said, “The significance of the impact of poor communication on such an important issue is evident, and is the reason why we’re working hard to improve science communication across languages.”

32．What does the underlined word “eliminating” in paragraph 1 mean?

A．Giving in to. B．Coming across.

C．Putting up with. D．Breaking down.

33．What is the function of adequate sharing of information?

A．Ensuring the effectiveness of protective measures.

B．Helping people know more about scientists’ efforts.

C．Spreading knowledge of the diversity of birds worldwide.

D．Compromising the effectiveness of conservation measures.

34．What is shown on the app?

A．The producer of the app. B．The organizations involved.

C．The location of endangered birds. D．The information of new geographers.

35．What can be the best title for the text?

A．Birds Protection Is an Urgency B．A New Bird App Spreads Its Wings

C．A New Bird App Helps Learn Languages D．Poor Communication Impacts Cooperation

根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳答案。选项中有两项为多余选项。

It’s hard to say why, but it’s just true: music is good for you. It can calm your spirit and help you vent (发泄) your anger. 36 But there’s one surprising yet well-documented effect that has really surprised us. Music lessons are very good for language comprehension -- and they might even be better than reading lessons.

37 But in this new study from MIT(Massachusetts Institute of Technology), researchers were able to see music lessons improve word comprehension right before their eyes. Led by Robert Desimone, the director of MIT’s McGovern Institute for Brain Research, the team tested 74 children between the ages of four and five to see how their growing language skills were affected by piano lessons.

The 74 participants were divided into three groups. 38 The other two had their weekly academic lessons supplemented with three 45-minute lessons per week -- the first got piano lessons and the second took part in reading lessons.

The results? The ones who received a little extra learning every week outperformed those who just continued on with their normal studies. 39 Perhaps even more surprisingly, the children who took the music lessons even outperformed the ones who took the reading lessons when it came to telling the difference between two words that were very similar.

“That’s a big thing for kids in learning language: being able to hear the differences between words,” Desimone said in a statement. “They really benefited from that.” To the researchers, the results point to one clear conclusion: 40

A．It can even be used to improve your memory.

B．It can bring people together and give us hope.

C．So students should have music lessons more often.

D．The control group simply carried on with their normal school classes.

E．Many studies have shown a close link between musical training and language skills.

F．If you’re a school administrator who wants kids to succeed, you’d better not cut those music programs.

G．Even the ones who only took music lessons turned out to perform better on language puzzles than those who didn’t have extra lessons.

Wide awake, I sat up in bed before dawn. I’d had another dream about Jennifer, my middle child. She’s 38 now. Usually in my dreams she's still a little shy girl.

Jennifer had been five years old and her older sister seven, when the twins were born. Everything changed. The boys demanded much of my time and energy, so I hardly had any left for their older sisters. Sweet, quiet Jennifer, sandwiched between the others, required almost nothing from me. Eventually Jennifer had her own children and lived about an hour and a half away. But it seemed as though she were worlds away.

I often dreamed about her. In this one she was a grown woman and mixed in with a crowd. I waved hard, “Jennifer! I’m over here!” But she didn’t notice me.

I longed to hear my daughter’s voice and called, “Hey, I had a dream about you.” Then Jennifer surprised me. “I dreamed about you too. But it was terrible. I won’t even tell you.”

“But I am eager to hear.”

Her words came out without thinking, “We were walking through a vegetable garden. A farmer shouted that I’d stepped on one of his tomatoes and asked for 43 cents. I didn’t have any money and turned to you. You said no. I begged. I woke up in tears.”

The pain in her voice almost cut my breath off. “There were so many things I should have done for you. I overlooked you. You seemed so competent and independent. I forgot you were just a child.”

There was silence on her end of the line. The communication seemed broken again. I called an old friend and told her about Jennifer’s dream and our awkward attempt to connect. “Your relationship probably broke down over a lot of little things,” she said.

第一节(满分15分)

Dear Chris,

I'm more than delighted to hear from you. Thank you for congratulating me on my eighteenth birthday. I'm very happy about it.

As I am about to become an adult, I plan to do something special on this special birthday, such as volunteering for epidemic prevention and control and accompanying the elderly in the nursing home. All of these can contribute to the society and bring happiness to myself, which is very meaningful. Being an adult means not only more freedom, but also more responsibility, which requires me to make a plan for my future as an adult. First of all, I hope to major in medicine in college, because the profession of doctor can heal the wounded and save the dying.

Secondly, I hope I can take better care of my family and not let my parents worry.

Best wishes!

Yours,

Li Hua

第二节(满分25分)

I realized what I should do to mend our relationship. In my mind there was a memorable thing. Though it had been so long time, I still couldn't forget. Remember that it was on Jennifer's tenth birthday, I bought her some books. Although I knew what she wanted most was a teddy bear, life was poor in the past and a teddy bear was far more expensive than the books. Tomorrow was her birthday again, so I went to the store and bought a teddy bear and sent it to her.

The next day, my daughter called me excitedly. She received my gift. She said that the Teddy bear was very cute. She and her children all liked it very much. She didn't expect that I still remembered the thing. She also said that it was poverty and busyness that made the mistake. She was thankful for the books that I had bought for her in her childhood. From the books, she learned much knowledge and became competent and independent.
