26、My wife and I recently completed a day-long tour of the Great Wall with Jessie. In addition to being very knowledgeable about the history of the areas that we toured, she spoke excellent English and was able to answer all of our questions. Her driver was very experienced and polite, and we really enjoyed being able to have a customized tour that avoided the tourist traps and forced shopping that seem to be a part of the larger group tours.

The attractions themselves were fantastic. I was a little worried that the snowy weather might impact our trip to the Great Wall, but everything went fine, and there weren’t many people out at all that day. I suggest wearing strong shoes—the Great Wall is really a hike. And in snowy or rainy days, the surfaces are pretty slippery (滑的)! Seeing this area in winter was really unique, and the snow made for great pictures. Jessie kept us entertained with stories and facts about the construction of the Wall, and always pointed out great spots for taking pictures. Even though she’s in fantastic shape, she cared about our level of fitness and often stopped to let us catch our breath.

When we got back to our hotel, Jessie gave us a great recommendation for dinner and some tips for our planned stops the next day. If I find myself in Beijing in the future, I will certainly be contacting Jessie for more tour opportunities, and I’ve already recommended her to some friends who are visiting the area later in the year. I can’t say enough about how kind and knowledgeable she was, and she really gave us a great tour experience.

A．She is a tour advisor.

B．She is a tour guide.

C．She is a foreign traveler.

D．She is a skilled driver.

【2】When did the writer visit the Great Wall?

A．In spring.

B．In summer.

C．In autumn.

28、Peppered moth caterpillars (桦尺蠖毛虫)live north of the equator. But if you’ve never seen one, don’t feel bad: They’re experts at blending in (融为一体). Each caterpillar looks like the branch it stays on, straightening its body into a stick-like shape. It also changes its color to match the branch’s color, whether white, green or brown.

According to a paper published in Communications Biology, the caterpillars sense the color of their surroundings not only with their eyes but also with their skin.

Ilik Saccheri, an author of the paper, normally studies the adult moth. This requires keeping a lot of caterpillars around. Years of observation awakened his curiosity about their color-changing abilities. Each caterpillar hatches tiny and black, and in its early days is blown around by the wind. Once it falls on a plant, it must disguise itself to avoid being spotted by birds.

“I was a bit disbelieving that they could change that only using their eyes,” Dr. Saccheri said.

Amy Eacock, a graduate student in Dr. Saccheri’s lab decided to investigate. First, she tested the caterpillars’ eyes for light-sensitive proteins called opsins (视蛋白). “We did the skin as kind of a negative control,” said Dr. Eacock. “But then we found they were expressed in the skin as highly as they were in the head.”

That’s when she suggested blindfolding the caterpillars. The researchers could cover their eyes, place them on different-colored dowels (木钉) , and see if they still changed to match.

“I thought it was kind of a crazy idea,” Dr. Saccheri said. The blindfolding itself was a difficult task, involving black paint, a tiny paintbrush, a microscope and lots of patience, Dr. Eacock said. Caterpillars molt (蜕皮) several times over their lives, which required that they be blindfolded again frequently.

But Dr. Eacock persisted, eventually testing more than 300 caterpillars. Over and over again, the blindfolded caterpillars successfully changed color to blend in.

Many questions remain, but the behavior alone impressed the researchers. Dr. Eacock said, “I remember turning to Ilik one day and saying, ‘You know what? The caterpillars are cooler than the moths.’” “Yes. They’re pretty amazing,” Dr. Saccheri agreed.

【1】What can we learn about peppered moth caterpillars?

A．They feed on fresh tree branches.

B．They can be found easily across the world.

C．They can adapt to different environments.

D．They change their body color to match living conditions.

【2】Which of the following inspired Dr. Eacock to cover the caterpillars’ eyes?

A．Caterpillars have a fear of height.

B．There are opsins in caterpillars’ skin.

C．Caterpillars molt several times in their life.

D．There is something strange in caterpillars’ eyes.

【3】What did Dr. Saccheri think of Dr. Eacock’s study?

A．It was hard to operate.

B．It was well designed.

C．It was inspiring but the evidence was unreliable.

D．It was a failure but the methods deserved praise.

【4】What is the author’s main purpose in writing this text?

A．To solve a mystery.

B．To introduce a new species.

C．To present a scientific study.

D．To awaken readers’ curiosity.

31、Directions: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

Most men and women feel that a dinner bill should be split down the middle, how fair is this it really? A new app aims to answer this question, and for others who fall 【1】 to income inequality, by dividing the check-up according to each person's race and gender.

Equipay uses Bureau of Labor Statistics and math to calculate how much is【2】 from each person , but it will only give you statistics about the wage【3】.

'Equipay helps you avoid the firm discrimination that exists in our society. It doesn't work out an equal split of the bill but a 【4】one.' the company's site says. 'You pay what you should to balance out the wage diversity.' The app is the brain child of Luna Malbroux, a diversity educator and comedian from California, who wanted to 'make the touchy subject' of racial and gender inequalities more 【5】, The problem is expected to catch people’s eye easily.

“I hope that this, more than anything, starts a discussion and helps people to start thinking a little bit differently about how we can use technology and innovation to【6】 inequality and wage inequality, ” Malbroux said.

The app has a built in 'diversity tool' that allows you to【7】 how diverse your friends really are, the list also displays the level of diversity for each person.

Type in the amount of the entire bill at the top, tip included, and the software will begin calculating the split based on who your【8】 is. Finally it will show you the list again, but now with how much each person owes.

Before paying your share, there is the【9】 to protest, in which the app will ask 'what's your excuse' and lists reasons for you to choose from. You can say 'I was a middle child' or 'I'm unaware of my privilege'.Equipay will find the best reply possible, whether it is facts regarding income inequalities or something seemingly【10】 but also makes you think twice before disagreeing with what you have to pay.
