If you and your partner love to travel, a destination wedding is a perfect idea! It's important that
you plan out what the best location is for you and your future partner, considering your costs and
what it will cost your loved ones. Here is a list of the best when it comes to inexpensive destination
weddings.

With pleasant weather nearly year-round and beautiful oceanfront views, St. Pete is a perfect
place for a destination wedding. Your loved ones can easily drive or get relatively inexpensive plane
tickets and you can get married on the water. The average wedding in St. Pete costs around S5000.

resort which will cost you between $2500-$10000 depending on the options you choose.

This is a top destination wedding location because it's inexpensive for both you and your
guests. With 30 guests it will cost about $45000 and includes so many amenities(令人愉快的事):

100 a night.
4. Newport, RI
Newport is a sleepy, romantic town that has the New England feel without the cost. You can

It was about five in the morning in Ontario, Canada, when Donna Strickland's phone rang. The
Nobel Prize committee was on the line in Stockholm, calling to tell her she had won the prize in
physics.
"I wondered if it was a joke," Strickland said in an interview with a Nobel official after the call.
She had been asleep when the call arrived. "Something was wrong because it came so early in the
morning. But then I knew it was the right day, and it would have been a cruel joke."
Strickland, an associate professor at the University of Waterloo, shares the honor with two other
scientists for their work in the 1980s in transforming lasers( 激 光 )into tiny tools that today have
countless application. The prize money $1.4 million will he shared among the three. Half the prize
went to Strickland and her cooperator Gerard Mourou, a professor at the Ecole Poly technique in
France. The other half was awarded to Arthur Ashkin, a retired physicist who worked at the famous
Bell Labs in the United States.
Strickland's win is historic in more than one way. It's been over 55 years since a woman was
awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics. In 1903, Marie Curie became the first-ever woman to win a
Nobel Prize in Physics. For the next 60 years, no women physicists were awarded. Maria Goeppert
Mayer became the second woman physicist to win the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1963.
Strickland herself was surprised to learn she was the third woman to receive the honor in
physics. "Is that all, really? I thought there might have been more." she said at a press conference
Tuesday. "We need to celebrate women physicists, because we're out there. Hopefully, in time, it
will start to move forward at a faster rate."
24. What was Donna's first reaction after she received the call?A. She felt all efforts paid off. B. She was too excited to say a word
C. She was doubtful about it. D. She was annoyed at being waken up.
25. How much was Donna rewarded for winning the Nobel Prize?
A. About $350,000. B. About $2.8million.
C. About $700,000. D. About $1.4 million.
26. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. Strickland's achievements in physics.
B. The history of the Nobel Prize in Physics.
C. Strickland's struggle to win the Nobel Prize.
D. Three women winners of the Nobel Prize in Physics in history.
27. What does the underlined "it" in the last paragraph refer to?

The government has proposed to spend money developing wireless charging roads in the UK as
part of a ￡40 million plan. Wireless charging roads could be developed to recharge electric cars
while they drive along to solve some problems about limited equipment to encourage ownership of
these vehicles and ensure better air quality. The government has promised the money to developing
both on-street and wireless charging to help transformation from internal combustion engine(内燃
机)cars to electric cars.
These systems work similarly to a Scalextric toy car. Wireless charging uses a process called
electromagnetic induction(电磁感应)to move energy. On the ground is a pad in which electricity is
passed through a set of wire to create a magnetic field. It is then moved to a receiver on the
underside of the car. Once the technology works, it could mean that drivers can fill up their cars as they drive along, meaning there could be longer periods between charging.
The proposal was made in Department for Transport (DFT) and could also see charging points
positioned at service stations and car parks. New homes will also, where permitted, be built with
some points. David Martell, of the electric car charging company BP Chargemaster, said, "Wireless
charging will make driving an electric vehicle as similar as possible to driving a petrol car but
without going to the petrol station frequently."
This is not the first time that wireless charging roads have been proposed as a number of firms
have developed technologies. Renault partnered with Qualcomm and VEDECOM Tech to develop a
road to test the technology's capability. The 100-meter test track was said to be capable of a charge
up to 20 kilowatts at speeds up to, and over, 62 miles per hour (nearly 100 km/h).
32. What's the attitude of the UK government to electric vehicles?
A. Supportive. B. Unfavourable. C. Indifferent. D. Objective.
33. What is the second paragraph mainly about?
A. How a Scalextric toy car functions. B. How the electric cars get charged.
C. How the wireless road systems run. D. How the electric cars benefit people.
34. How does David Martell find the new technology?
A. It gets petrol cars unfavourable. B. It saves drivers' trips to petrol station.
C. It gives rise to many new car parks. D. It makes electric cars difficult to drive.
35. Why does the author mention the figures in the last paragraph?
A. To show the experiment of some firms.
B. To announce the progress of the new technology.
C. To show the efficiency of the wireless road systems.
D. To encourage the cooperation among different firms.

Migration(迁徙), is a long journey carried out by some birds to other areas where they hope to
find more food and a warmer place to spend winter. Hundreds or thousands of miles' journey is
actually difficult and dangerous. So why do birds migrate? 36 However, it all comes down to
survival.Migrating for a Meal
For all birds, one of the main driving forces behind migration is food shortage. If all birds were
to stay in the same warm regions all the year round, food would become lacking and producing their
young would be less successful. As food resources are rich in the north each spring, millions of birds
migrate there for the food supplies. 37
Migrating for Family
Over thousands of years, birds have evolved different migration patterns, timing and
destinations to fly around the world to produce their young. Birds take advantage of a wide variety
of suitable conditions to raise their young. 38
Migrating for Climate
Birds have evolved different types of feathers to survive different climates. 38 So many
birds leave the Arctic producing grounds, for example, when temperatures begin to fall and they
need warmer habitats. Similarly, the hottest regions can be a bad environment for raising little
chicks, and they will choose cooler areas to lay eggs.
Migrating for Predators(掠食动物)
Habitats that have rich food resources all the year round also attract a greater number of
predators that can threaten their nests. 40 It gives their young a better chance of reaching
maturity. Many birds even migrate to specialized habitats that are nearly inaccessible to predators.
A. Birds always tend to fly to warmer places.
B. And changes in those climates can affect migration.
C. This increases the surviving chances of little chicks.
D. Birds have adapted themselves to their own surroundings.
E. There is more than one reasons for different birds to migrate
F. As the food supplies decrease in fall, they return to warm regions.
G. So birds migrate to different habitats to avoid being eaten by predators.
