The World’s Most Dangerous Awesome Sport Destinations
If you’re looking for an extra challenging place to do sports when traveling, you will definitely want to visit these places below.
Burj AI Arab, Dubai.
The world’s highest tennis court is situated 1,000 feet above the ocean standing atop the fourth highest hotel in the world—Burj AI Arab in Dubai. The tennis court is circular in shape and when no session is at play, it doubles as a helipad (直升机场).
Camp Bonifas, South Korea
You would think that golf isn’t a very dangerous sport, and if you go to the Scottsdale golf course or those amazing Hawaii golf courses then that is probably true, which is why this golf course might blow your mind.
Camp Bonifas is in South Korea right on the border to North Korea. When they built the course they realized that they wouldn’t be able to fit 18 holes in the camp, so they decided to build a 1-hole golf course surrounded by LIVE minefields (布雷区) on three sides.
Blue Hole, Egypt
The Blue Hole is a submarine sinkhole at a depth of 130 meters. It is known as the most dangerous diving spot because of the large number of deaths that have occurred from people diving in the hole.
Many inexperienced or overconfident divers sometimes have trouble finding the tunnel connecting the Blue Hole and open water and end up descending too deep…!
Ponte Brolla, Switzerland
Ponte Brolla is famous as one of the most famous, extreme and dangerous cliff diving, or “tombstoning” spots in the world.
Several World High Diving Federation championships have been hosted here, where the divers face a 26-meter jump into ice cold water.
This sport might look like a fun and easy thing, but it’s not nicknamed “tombstoning” for nothing.

A. Camp Bonifas . B. Burj AI Arab.
C. Blue Hole. D. Ponte Brolla.

The amount of plastic pollution in the oceans is rapidly increasing. This is problematic, as at least 700 species of sea animals — including sharks, whales seabirds and turtles — can be trapped in the stuff or mistake it for a tasty snack. While we know that some species seem to eat plastic because it looks like jellyfish or some other food source, less research has been carried out into what sea plastic smells like to sea animals.
But now, a study from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill has found that the coating of algae and microbes (藻类、微生物) that naturally builds up on ocean plastics causes the rubbish to give off the smell of food.
The researchers took 15 healthy turtles, each around five months old and placed them in a laboratory aquarium (水族箱). They then piped in clean water, clean plastic, turtle food, and plastic that had been down in the sea environment for five weeks. The turtles showed no reaction to the smell of clean water or clean plastic. But when they were exposed to the smells of ocean plastic or turtle food, they exhibited hunting behaviour — like sticking their noses out of the water and showing increased activity.
“This finding is important because it’s the first demonstration that the smell of ocean plastics causes animals to eat them,” said Dr Kenneth J Lohmann, who took part in the study.
“It’s common to find the sea turtles with their digestive systems fully or partially blocked because they’ve eaten plastic materials There also are increasing reports of sea turtles that have been ill and stranded on the beach due to their swallow of plastic.”
“Once these plastics are in the ocean we don’t have a good way to remove them or prevent them from smelling like food” said Lohmann. “The best thing we can do is to keep plastic from getting into the ocean at all.”
28. What does the new research mainly focus on
A. What sea plastic smells like to sea animals.
B. What has caused the sea plastic pollution.
C. How dangerous the sea environment is.
D. How dangerous the sea plastic pollution is.
29. What can we infer from the experiment
A. The turtles of 5 months old are the most healthy ones.
B. The clean plastic has no certain smell to attract turtles.
C. The turtles prefer dirty environments to clean ones.
D. The clean plastic is more dangerous than the ocean plastic.
30. Which of the following words can best replace the underlined word in Para 5
A. treated B. rescued C. harmed D. trapped
31. What is the title of the passage
A. Sea turtles and sea environment
B. Sea turtles and their enemies
C. Sea turtles and sea plastics
D. Sea turtles and sea food chain

Do you have clothes in your closet that you never wear Do you keep things in your drawer that you never use Do you have books on your shelves that you never read And what about the mess on the floor ____32____ If the answer to these questions is yes, then you’re not alone. Most of us have too much stuff.
People with untidy, messy rooms have untidy minds and they feel stressed, finding it hard to relax. ____33____ There is no doubt that too much stuff is bad for us and we have to change.
Now, imagine this bedroom: a desk, a chair, a white floor, a bed and a wardrobe. That’s all. It looks calm and relaxing. This is the minimalist style. Minimalists believe that they don’t have to own a lot of possessions to be happy. ____34____
At this point you are probably asking “Do I have to remove all my favourite things ” ____35____ A minimalist room is too extreme for most people, and personal possessions like photos and books are comforting and help us feel easy at home.
____36____ Consider this simple rule: if you don’t use something for longer than 6 months, get rid of it. You have to regularly tidy and sort all the stuff out in your room. After tidying, you’ll have much room in your closet and drawer. Your parents don’t say “You must tidy your room!” any more! Your room will look more large and bright, making you feel free and comfortable!
A. In factthey enjoy their messy home.
B. This makes them feel unhappy.

Scout and her best friend, Betty, had persuaded their parents to buy them matching scarves, which they took as a symbol of their friendship. Scout didn’t know she was going to America and would not be returning.
Scout kept that special silk scarf for many years. One day she decided to give it to her granddaughter, Eliza, to wear to her first job interview for good luck. Scout was afraid that Eliza would lose the scarf, but the granddaughter promised, “Don’t worry, Grandma. Nothing’s going to happen to your scarf. You’ll see that it’s going to bring both of us luck.” And with that, Eliza kissed her grandmother and left for the interview.
Leaving the interview, Eliza felt confident that she had got the job so she decided to celebrate by going to a restaurant. Sitting at her table, Eliza felt an elderly woman staring at her for a long time.
“I’m sorry. Do I know you ” Eliza asked.
“I’m sorry, dear, but you remind me of my best friend,” the old woman replied. “She looked like you and used to wear a scarf just like yours.” Eliza listened carefully, with her eyes and mouth wide open. She had heard stories of her grandmother’s best friend and knew the meaning of the scarf. Could this woman be Betty, her grandmother’s childhood friend

第一节：参考范文：
Then the old woman introduced herself, “My name is Betty. I’m originally from Poland, but left there when I was thirteen. And I have been living here in Washington DC in America ever since.” Eliza could not believe it, stories of her grandmother’s best friend floating into her mind. Assuming that the old woman must be her grandmother’s best friend, she said, “Betty, would you mind coming with me right now I need to show you somebody.”
The old woman agreed. Soon they left the restaurant after a quick dinner. On the way, Betty felt her heart was thumping with excitement. She couldn’t wait to see her long-lost friend. Arriving at Scout’s home, Betty eagerly rang the door bell. The moment Scout opened the door, she was rooted to the ground due to the amazement at seeing her childhood friend standing in front of her. Both of them were in tears, hugging each other tightly. Time seemed to cease to witness the great moment.
