Most American national parks and historic sites are free, and even the ones that aren’t offered several free days during each year. So, pull out a map and start planning to find out your destinations.
Georgia: Martin Luther King, Jr. National Historic Site
No visit to Atlanta, GA, would be complete without visiting the Martin Luther King, Jr. National Historic Site, where visitors may tour his home and the Ebenezer Baptist Church across the street. There is no admission charge to learn more about one of America’s greatest leaders at this tourist attraction.
Hawaii: Beaches
There’s major good news when it comes to our beautiful 50th state: All the beaches are free! Just pull over your rental car and dive (or tiptoe) in and let the Aloha Spirit begin with a dip in the Pacific Ocean. Don’t forget the sunscreen. Ready to go? Find out everything you need to know before taking a vacation in Hawaii.
Illinois: Chicago Cultural Center
The Chicago Cultural Center located in the heart of the city offers theatrical and dance events, concerts, lectures, and films all free in a wonderful landmark building which boasts, among other wonders, the largest Tiffany glass domes in the building that once housed Chicago’s first central library.
Kentucky: The Bourbon Trail
Nothing is more American than Kentucky Bourbon. Driving along the trail is free and many distilleries(酿酒厂) offer free tours (and samples). Like a lot of states, Kentucky has its share of liquor laws and the famed Bourbon Trails winds through several dry counties where it’s illegal to buy what you might sample along the way.

Recently I read Nineteen Eighty-Four, a novel by George Orwell set in a totalitarian(极权主义的) state where even

the language they use is controlled. Adjectives are forbidden and instead they use phrases such as "ungood", "plus good" and "double plus good" to express emotions.
As I first read this I thought how impossible it would be in our society to have such vocabulary. However, the more I thought about it, the more I realized in its own way it was already happening. I type messages to my friends and alongside each is an emoji(表情符号). I often use them to emphasize something, or to not seem too serious, or because this specific GIF conveys my emotions much better than I ever could using just words. And I wonder, "with too much use of emojis, are we losing the beauty and diversity of our vocabulary?"
English has the largest vocabulary in the world, with over one million words, but who’s to say what it’ll be like in the future? Perhaps we will have a shorter language, full of saying "cry face" if something sad happens or using LOL (laugh out loud) or BRB (be right back) instead of saying the full phrase. So does this mean our vocabulary will shrink? Is it the start of an exciting new era?
Yet when you look back over time, the power of image has always been there. Even in the prehistoric era they used imagery to communicate, and what’s even more incredible is that we are able to analyse those drawings and understand the meaning of them thousands of years later. Pictures have the ability to go beyond time and language. Images, whether they are cave paintings or emojis, allow us to convey a message that’s not restrictive but rather universal.
24. What is the reason for the novel Nineteen Eighty-Four being mentioned?
A. To introduce the following topic. B. To recommend this book to readers.
C. To show the author’s special interest. D. To show the diversity of languages.
25. Why does the author often use emojis while typing messages?
A. They are easy to type. B. They are amusing to use.
C. They can better convey emotions. D. They reflect the diversity of languages.
26. What can we infer from paragraph 3?
A. English vocabulary will become smaller.
B. A new language era has come into being.
C. English will be replaced by a short language.
D. Short forms of words are popular nowadays.
27. What might be the author’s opinion?
A. We shouldn’t use emojis too much. B. Emojis can be understood universally.
C. Languages will be replaced by emojis. D. We have to learn several languages.
C
Some days are dry, and others are wet. And some are really wet. A new study reveals that some particular place on the globe gets half its annual rainfall — on average — in just 12 days.
For their analysis, the researchers looked at daily rainfall data gathered at 185 sites worldwide from 1999 through 2014. That 16-year period was long enough to capture year-to-year variations in rainfall caused by El Niño and other short-term climate cycles. They also focused on weather stations located within 50°of the equator(赤道), which allowed them to use satellite data both to confirm their data and to apply their findings to broader regions.
On average, the wettest day at each site received a full month’s worth of rain. Also, half of a site’s annual precipitation falls over the course of just 12 days, the researchers report this month in Geophysical Research Letters. Which specific days are the wettest varies from place to place and season to season, of course, but the pattern holds worldwide.
The researchers also used 36 different climate models to assess how rainfall trends might change in the future. In particular, they looked at estimates for daily rainfall for the years 2085 through 2100 for a period in which the atmospheric concentration of planet-warming carbon dioxide (CO2) might rise to 936 parts per million (ppm) in the year 2100. (Today, CO2 levels are about 408 ppm.) In that warmer world, the air can hold more water vapor(蒸汽), and thus extreme rainfall will become even more extreme. In the last 16 years of this century, any particular site can expect half a year’s rainfall to occur in just 11 days. Get those umbrellas while you can.
28. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 2?
A. Present the reliable method of the research.
B. Show us that the research is hard to conduct.
C. Tell us the causes of climate changes.
D. Add some background information.
29. Which of the following best explains "precipitation" underlined in paragraph 3?

30. What about the content of CO2 in the atmosphere at the end of this century?
A. It will be as much as it is today. B. It will vary from season to season.
C. It will rise to 2100 parts per million. D. It will be more than twice what it is today.
31. What is the prediction of this research?
A. Annual rainfall will increase greatly. B. Annual rainfall will occur in fewer days.
C. The world will be warmer and warmer. D. Extreme rainfall will be more frequent.

Meridian Maps, a small startup based in Ridgewood, New York, has invented a unique type of wall art. Named “Floating Maps”, they stick out on the wall creating distinctive shadows. While most wall art is traditionally in a regular shape, these pieces are shaped to their geography. Instead of thinking outside the box, they’ve abandoned the box altogether.
Meridian Maps first came on the scene last year with a Kickstarter(众筹平台) launch of their Topo Maps. These 3D maps represent an area’s topography with wood layers. The campaign was a success, and the company was born.
The new Floating Maps were published this September at the World’s Maker Faire in New York City, an annual event for inventors and creators with an estimated 100,000 attendees from all over the world. "They were a hit," says co-founder Vladik Kofman. “Many people were just shocked. We received a lot of orders right there at the Faire.” The best part is customers can select any region of the world they want as a map.
Meridian Maps continues to create their map designs. “We wanted to create a piece that was both eye-catching and affordable.” The Floating Maps have the accurate details of their layered and framed maps, but at a significantly lower price. Their hope is to be able to put these works in many more homes this way.
The maps are designed in a professional GIS mapping software. Features such as rivers, roads, political boundaries, towns and other points of interest are overlaid as desired. It is then exported to the laser cutter, where the sheets of wood are laser-engraved and cut out to the area’s shape.
These unique works make great conversation pieces and are fantastic gift ideas. The Floating Maps campaign ends on November 27. Head over to Kickstarter now to support this project and beat the holiday rush for this truly one-of-a-kind work of art.
32. What does the author think of the “floating maps”?
A. They are traditional. B. They are revolutionary.
C. They are square in shape. D. They are made into a box.
33. What is the most attractive part of the “floating maps”?
A. They are affordable. B. They are eye-catching.
C. Every region is separated. D. The layers have shadows.
34. What does the author intend to do in the last paragraph?
A. Get sponsorship for the company. B. Praise the success of the company.
C. Describe the future of the company. D. Call on people to buy the 3D maps.
35. What can be a suitable title of this passage?
A. A New Kind of Wall Art Is Born B. Raise Money for Floating Maps
C. A 3D map Can Be Customized D. Startup Creates Floating Maps

Marketing research can give a business a picture of what kinds of new products and services may bring a profit. 36 By researching the answers to specific questions, small-business owners can learn whether they need to change their package design or adjust their delivery methods. 37
Failure to do market research before you begin a business venture or during its operation is like driving a car from Texas to New York without a map or street signs. You have to know which direction to travel and how fast to go. 38 It will also tell you when they are most likely and willing to purchase your goods or use your services.
When you conduct marketing research, you can use the results either to create a business and marketing plan or to measure the success of your current plan. That’s why it’s important to ask the right questions, in the right way, of the right people. 39
