七选五Going on holiday doesn’t have to be bad for the environment, and there are still plenty of ways you can have a much-deserved break without harming the environment.Forget planes. While most forms of transport produce carbon dioxide, planes have a massive carbon footprint because of the huge number of miles they travel. ____1____ Many of us ignore the endless beautiful scenery around us. There’s the unparalleled beauty of the Mississippi River. Alternatively, you can drive your car to the Grand Canyon to see its splendor.Pack with care.____2____ All of their bottles, from shampoo and conditioner to body wash and moisturizer, are now made from recycled plastic that can be repurposed again and again so no new plastic is produced.And their iconic soap bars now also come in plastic-free packaging.____3____Hotels can be huge producers of greenhouse gases. Think about the water that’s wasted and all the buffet food that goes uneaten. So choose an eco-friendly option instead.

But if you insist on staying in the hotel, pick one made from sustainable materials.____4____Buy gifts responsibly.Bringing back gifts for friends and loved ones is part of the fun of a holiday. ____5____ Avoid anything plastic, or if it is plastic, make sure it is 100% recyclable, and make sure your friends will love whatever you give them so it isn’t just thrown in the bin headed for landfill.A．Think about green accommodation.B．Consider living in an eco-friendly hotel.C．But make sure you choose items carefully.D．Take brand-name beauty and bath products with you.E．It’s also acceptable to live in a hotel using new energy.F．So why not skip flying in favor of a holiday closer to home G．So why do planes consume so much fuel compared with other transport “Most people don’t know anything about soil,” says Dominique Arrouays, a soil scientist in France. “In the city, they never see the soil, unless there’s construction. It’s all pavement. They don’t realize that everything depends on soils.”Soils grow the food that provides an estimated 98.8 percent of our daily calories, according to a paper in Environment International, and house more than 25 percent of the world’s biodiversity. ____6____Healthy soil is marked by its porous (多孔) structure, produced by root growth as well as the activities of earthworms and insects. ____7____ Healthy soils not only make farms more climate-resilient (气候适应力), but they can also help keep costs for farmers and taxpayers down.According to a United Nations report, a third of the planet’s soil is highly degraded due to acidification, erosion (腐蚀), and other factors. Soils cannot be regenerated quickly. ____8____ And yet many people dismiss it as nothing more than dirt.____9____ Erosion occurs when soil is displaced by wind or water—washed off farms and stored in ditches and streams, or blown across the landscape as dust. Healthy soil resists erosion well, especially if it is protected by plants above ground and roots below-ground. ____10____ The results can be disastrous. Even small changes year after year can gradually cause big problems.Soil is the skin of the earth. We need to protect it. It’s in everybody’s interest to support farmers in rebuilding soil health and preventing erosion.A．But soils are in great trouble at present.B．Soil erosion is a particularly serious problem worldwide.C．This structure allows rainfall to sink in healthy soil deeply.D．Soils also store massive amounts of both fresh water and carbon.E．It may take up to 1,000 years to produce a couple centimeters of soil.F．But when soil is left bare, wind and water can more easily displace it.G．Soil is a living community to create a rich environment for food production.Work, family and world events can be so stressful that it feels like optimism and joy are far out of reach.

What’s the weather like What does the air smell like What are you doing while you’re there How does being there make you feel You’ll instantly feel calmer, lost in the daydream or the memory of your happy place.We can make our situations worse by keeping thinking about negative thoughts. ____13____ “Bad things always happen to me,” becomes “What lesson can I learn from this situation ” “I wasted the whole day,” becomes “I still have 5 more hours left to make today a great day!”Whether it is going for a coffee at your favorite café, or catching a movie in the theatre, make sure that once a week you schedule some “me” time. ____14____ That may mean getting less done during the day, but you deserve to take a mental break, regularly.

Everyone feels lonely from time to time, but this is a deeper question about whether you regularly feel left out or isolated. One recent survey suggested that roughly one in three Americans have experienced “serious loneliness”. It also helps to ask yourself if there are parts of your identity that feel restricted.However, making friends in adulthood isn’t always easy. Research shows people struggle with it because they find it difficult to trust new people and because they are simply short of time. For those reasons, it is often easier to start by restarting old relationships. Take action and don’t assume that friendships just happen organically. ____20____ Dr. Hall’s research suggests that on average, very close friendships tend to take around 200 hours to develop.

Some high schools and colleges have websites where students can log in and find messages and materials from their teachers. ____22____ You can see if there are any messages or special materials you will need to review.____23____ On your first day of school, you will most likely be asked to participate in games. These are a great way to get to know other people in your class but can be a bit nerve wracking if you feel shy. Practice saying your name, 2 facts about yourself, and where you are from.Contact your friends and see if you have any of the same classes. If you already know someone at your school, ask if they have any of the same classes or lunch periods. ____24____ Having someone you know will help you to feel more comfortable in a new environment.Go to bed early the night before.

Most people are happy to share their expert knowledge, let you borrow gear (装备) and introduce starters to their favorite trails. If you don’t know any hikers, many cities and towns have hiking clubs that regularly plan outings. ___27___ Online groups are also a great way to find hiking friends. Experiencing the outdoors by yourself can give you a sense of freedom and adventure that are hard to find elsewhere. ___28___ We recommend finding a companion to keep you company. That person will also be there to lend a hand if you happen to get hurt.___29___ Guidebooks and websites are great resources because you can get all the information you need: trail difficulty, distance, directions, water sources, and trail features. If you have hiking friends, ask them for some locations. Contact a local hiking organization or call a ranger station (护林站) in the area where you want to hike.Before you start your search for the perfect hike, it’s helpful to think through a few things, such as: how much time you have, especially time of year and weather.___30___ If it’s fall and the sun is setting earlier, plan accordingly so you’re not caught out after dark unexpectedly.

Whenever I move to a new city to study or work, I look for exercise classes to do. ___33___ Usually, you all share a collective feeling of euphoria when the class finishes!Thirdly, exercise makes you feel confident. We all know the physical effects of exercise on our bodies but we don’t always talk about the mental effects. Exercise might give you a feeling of confidence from being comfortable with your body and appearance. ___34___Finally, it helps to relieve stress. Focusing on lifting weights or going for a run can help you forget the problems and stress of daily life, studies or work. During exams, I always spend an hour a day in the gym. It makes me feel less anxious and it also helps me to sleep well.___35___ It might not be easy but it’s a great feeling doing something you couldn’t do before and knowing it’s a result of your hard work.A．What kinds of exercise do you usually take B．You will feel better after a workout than you did before it.C．But most exercise classes are too expensive for ordinary people.D．This new confidence might even help in your social or work life.E．So, next time you’re feeling down, put your trainers on and get sweating.F．But sometimes finding that motivation to work out can be a little difficult.G．You meet like-minded people there, and you can support each other during a difficult workout.Trusted Media Brands is a media and direct marketing company.

I had always described it as a once in a lifetime experience, but as soon as I stepped foot on the continent, I immediately knew I needed to return.____41____ About 50% of the passengers of our expedition (远征) had been to Antarctica at least once before. This goes to show just how magical of a destination it is.All your senses will be stimulated...is the best way I can describe the time on the white continent. How tiny you feel next to towering glaciers and icebergs. The icy water moving through your body as you take the infamous Polar Plunge. The learning of heart-touching stories of survival from explorers of the past. ____42____Antarctica makes you feel so small and insignificant, in the best way. ____43____ You get front row seats to witness the most incredible show: nature. It is as much beautiful as is it cruel. Like seeing a brown skua (贼鸥) attacking a penguin chick. Your heart aches. Then your expedition guide regretfully tells you that a chick that is small in March would have very slim chances of surviving the upcoming winter. The cycle continues, and you’re left wondering who to root for.Things move fast in Antarctica, and every month offers something really unique and special to see. In March, the weather is a bit more unpredictable, and the sea ice is beginning to form again. ____44____ In two more weeks, expedition ships would not be able to break through the ice.The penguins are completing their yearly feather-changing process. ____45____ The expedition team made sure we kept our distance and did not scare them into hiding under freezing water.These animals, arguably the cutest you will ever see, survive such unfavorable environments.

A regular bedtime routine starting around the same time each night encourages good sleep patterns. ____47____ For old ones, this might include a quiet and reflective chat.Check noise and light in your child’s bedroom. ____48____ Check if your child’s bedroom is too light or noisy for sleep. Blue light from various screens might contain melatonin levels and delay sleepiness.Ensure good dinner with reasonable amounts. The saying goes that we should eat like a king in the morning, a prince at noon and a farmer at night. But the farmer-way of dinner doesn’t apply to your children. They need more nutrition. But make sure your child has a right amount of evening meal. Feeling hungry or full before bed makes your child uncomfortable. ____49________50____ Most children receive a portion of their recommended amount of sleep each day from naps. Not sleeping through the night is fairly common for young children, so they need an extra boost from daytime naps to ensure they get enough sleep for any given 24-hour period.A．Take a good nap.B．Sleep through the night.C．This can make it hard for your child to get to sleep.D．A quiet, dimly lit space is important for a good sleep.E．Fixed bath and story time helps small kids ready for sleep.F．Daytime naps are said to be a good addition to nightly sleep.G．That said, surveys reveal one in five teens sleep less than seven hours.参考答案：1．F2．D3．A4．E5．C【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了如何在度假时更好地保护环境的几条建议。1．根据空前“While most forms of transport produce carbon dioxide, one of the gasses responsible for global warming, planes have a massive carbon footprint because of the huge number of miles they travel.（虽然大多数交通工具都会产生导致全球变暖的二氧化碳，但由于飞机飞行了大量的英里数，因此会产生大量的碳足迹。）和空后“There’s so much to see and do in the UK yet most of us overlook the endless possibilities.（英国有那么多可看可做的事情，但我们大多数人都忽视了无限的可能性。）可知，空处谈论的是建议大家选择不要坐飞机出行，结合选项可知，选项F.
