Sitting on the edge of the world, Sydney is considered as one of the world’s greatest cities. Here are some things you should do and see in Sydney.
Explore Sydney’s hottest neighborhood
Many big-ticket attractions can be found in or around the Circular Quay area, right by the port. Here, you can get on ferries(轮渡) to faraway islands or go exploring on foot with the Sydney Opera House, Royal Botanic Gardens and Museum of Contemporary all nearby.
Take side trips
Popular among outdoor types, the rough Blue Mountains—about two hours by train west of the city—promises winter skiing, excellent hiking and kangaroo sightings. Walking through the national park, travelers will watch forests, waterfalls, natural caves, small villages and rock formations.
The Hunter valley, just a two-hour drive north of Sydney, is Australia’s oldest wine region. Most vineyards(葡萄园) are family-owned, focusing on small production. Wine is more personal here.
Stay in style
The classic Langham Hotel is located just west of Circular Quay, offering easy access to the famous port.
As you explore its beautiful corridors(走廊), look for contemporary artworks from around the world—The Langham Hotel has the largest art gathering (more than $1 million worth) in Australia.
Meanwhile, those looking for a more relaxed experience can go camping on Cockatoo Island—just a quick boat ride from Circular Quay.
Travel tips
Leaving tips at the bar or for a taxi isn’t expected, but it’s appreciated.
When riding in a taxi alone, it’s customary to sit in the front seat.
Bring sun cream, sunglasses and hat—whatever the season.

Marathon is one of the most difficult races in track and field, at a little over 42 kilometers. To be a world-class marathoner, you must run that distance in two and a half hours. But for some, completing a marathon race is a lifelong dream.
Jacqueline’s dream of being a world-class runner began when she was a child in Kenya. She soon realized she had the talent and the willpower to compete. She also knew she would have to train full-time, which meant not being able to work to help support her family. But she was confident that she could bring home prize money.
Jacqueline traveled to China to compete in the Zheng-Kai marathon knowing she had a good shot at winning the race, but more importantly, the $10,000 prize that went with it. She was leading the women’s division when a male runner arrived at the water station. The man had trouble drinking water because a birth defect (缺陷) had left him without hands, and he struggled to drink from a plastic bottle. But any assistance from fans or race officials would result in his disqualification. Jacqueline noticed the man and immediately knew that he needed help. She grabbed a water bottle and helped him get the water his body needed to complete the race.
Runner after runner passed Jacqueline. Her hopes of winning were getting lost in numerous runners ahead of her. With only 4 kilometers left in the race, and certain that the male runner would now finish, Jacqueline picked up her pace and finally finished second.
That day, Jacqueline missed out on first place, but she finished something more important: humanity. She returned home with the smaller prize of second place, but to her family, she brought home something much more valuable to home: the right example.
4. What can we know about Jacqueline from paragraph 2
A. Her goal was to win a championship. B. Her family opposed her going for a run.
C. She was born with little sports gift. D. She had to train full-time to achieve her dream.
5. Why did the male runner struggle to drink from a plastic bottle
A. No assistance was allowed. B. He was disabled.
C. He had no access to the water station. D. He competed with other runners for water.
6. What happened after Jacqueline helped the male runner
A. She won second place at last. B. She was disqualified for going against rules.
C. She was criticised by her family. D. She fell behind several runners and gave up.
7. What is the attitude of Jacqueline’s family towards her deed
A. Cautious. B. Approving. C. Indifferent. D. Disappointed
C
Are you the kind of person who hated school Or are you more like Michael Nicholson, who can’t stop learning He currently has 30 degrees including 22 master’s and a doctor’s degree! If you’re also crazy about studying, you might be a philomath — a person who loves to learn and study. The word comes from Greek with “phil” meaning “a lover of” and “math” meaning “learning”.
Humans are all philomaths to an extent — our brain is born to be curious. We want to learn and understand, partly to make sense of the world but also because of something called neoteny. This is a term that refers to the youthful characteristics of humans being remained into adulthood. One of these characteristics is neuroplasticity, which helps our brains stay flexible — this gives us the ability to learn throughout our lives. Many creatures which are close to us, like primates (灵长类), can’t do this and only learn during their youthhood.
But for every person who loves learning, there are plenty who can’t stand it. Lots of people remember their school days as being boring or even pointless. Why is this Educational experts have suggested that if an idea is too dull or too difficult to understand, it becomes harder to connect old and new ideas together. If that is the case, we lose interest and take in less information. This negative experience of education at school may lead to people avoiding learning opportunities in later life.
So, don’t let a negative educational experience prevent you learning something new as an adult. Take advantage of your biology and discover your inner philomath. Who knows what you could achieve
8. Why does the author mention “Michael Nicholson” in paragraph 1
A. To lead to a topic. B. To introduce a figure.
C. To present a rule. D. To raise a question.
9. What is paragraph 2 mainly about
A. Humans can be lifelong learners.
B. Creatures like primates can’t learn.
C. Humans are born to know the world.
D. Creatures have different learning abilities.
10. What may kill humans passion for later learning according to the text
A. Less learning opportunities.
B. Old memories of school days.
C. Ways to connect old and new ideas.
D. Bad education experiences when young.
11. What does the author intend to do by writing this text
A. To praise people who can’t stop learning.
B. To make it clear to people what is a philomath.
C. To explain why some people don’t like studying.
D. To encourage people to be passionate in learning.
D
The levees (防洪堤) that protect New Orleans held up against Hurricane Ida’s fury (猛烈), passing their first big test since Hurricane Katrina that struck 16 years ago. The government spent billions of dollars to upgrade the city’s levee system which had failed before Katrina. But the effort couldn’t spare some neighboring communities from Ida’s terrible storm surge (风暴潮).
Many people living in LaPlace, located 25 miles west of New Orleans, had to be rescued from rising floodwaters. Marcie Jacob Hebert ran away before Ida. But she has no doubt that the storm flooded her LaPlace home. Her house didn’t flood during Katrina. But it took on nearly two feet of water during Hurricane Isaac in 2012. “We didn’t have these problems until everybody else’s levees worked,” said Hebert, 46. “It may not be the only cause, but I sure do think it makes a difference.”
Gov. John Bel Edwards said a recent survey of levees across Louisiana showed they did exactly what they were for and held the water out. “We don’t believe there is a single levee anywhere now that actually broke or failed. There were only a few smaller levees in New Orleans that failed,” Edwards said.
After Katrina, the government spent $14.5 billion on projects designed to improve protection from storm surge and flooding in New Orleans and nearby areas. The system is a 130-mile ring built to hold out storm surge of about 30 feet. In August 2005, Hurricane Katrina produced a storm surge that flooded about four-fifths of the city, causing over 1,800 deaths.
Work recently began on a levee project to protect LaPlace and other communities outside New Orleans’ levee system. That project will be completed in 2024.
“I’m glad they’re building us a levee, but I worry about what happens to the next group further to the west,” Hebert said. “The water has got to go somewhere no matter how many levee systems are built. We can’t just keep moving it from person to person, place to place.”
12. What is the reason for the flooding in LaPlace according to Hebert
A. Heavy rainfall. B. Weather change. C. Levees breaking. D. Nearby levees.
13. What does Edwards think of the flood protection system in New Orleans
A. It costs too much. B. It may cause danger.
C. It is generally satisfying. D. It badly needs improvements.
14. What does the author want to do in paragraph 4
A. Provide some helpful suggestions. B. Offer some background information.
C. Introduce a new topic for discussion. D. Discuss the causes of the problem.
15. Which of the following would Hebert most probably agree with
A. Levees cannot completely solve the problem.
B. Some locals had better move away from LaPlace.
C. The levee project in LaPlace won’t be finished on time.
D. It is a mistake to build a levee system for locals in LaPlace.

She was leading the women’s division when a male runner arrived at the water station. The man had trouble drinking water because a birth defect (缺陷) had left him without hands, and he struggled to drink from a plastic bottle. But any assistance from fans or race officials would result in his disqualification. Jacqueline noticed the man and immediately knew that he needed help. She grabbed a water bottle and helped him get the water his body needed to complete the race.
Runner after runner passed Jacqueline. Her hopes of winning were getting lost in numerous runners ahead of her. With only 4 kilometers left in the race, and certain that the male runner would now finish, Jacqueline picked up her pace and finally finished second.
That day, Jacqueline missed out on first place, but she finished something more important: humanity. She returned home with the smaller prize of second place, but to her family, she brought home something much more valuable to home: the right example.
4. What can we know about Jacqueline from paragraph 2
A. Her goal was to win a championship. B. Her family opposed her going for a run.
C. She was born with little sports gift. D. She had to train full-time to achieve her dream.
5. Why did the male runner struggle to drink from a plastic bottle
A. No assistance was allowed. B. He was disabled.
C. He had no access to the water station. D. He competed with other runners for water.
6. What happened after Jacqueline helped the male runner

C. She was criticised by her family. D. She fell behind several runners and gave up.
7. What is the attitude of Jacqueline’s family towards her deed

Are you the kind of person who hated school Or are you more like Michael Nicholson, who can’t stop learning He currently has 30 degrees including 22 master’s and a doctor’s degree! If you’re also crazy about studying, you might be a philomath — a person who loves to learn and study. The word comes from Greek with “phil” meaning “a lover of” and “math” meaning “learning”.
Humans are all philomaths to an extent — our brain is born to be curious. We want to learn and understand, partly to make sense of the world but also because of something called neoteny. This is a term that refers to the youthful characteristics of humans being remained into adulthood. One of these characteristics is neuroplasticity, which helps our brains stay flexible — this gives us the ability to learn throughout our lives. Many creatures which are close to us, like primates (灵长类), can’t do this and only learn during their youthhood.
But for every person who loves learning, there are plenty who can’t stand it. Lots of people remember their school days as being boring or even pointless. Why is this Educational experts have suggested that if an idea is too dull or too difficult to understand, it becomes harder to connect old and new ideas together. If that is the case, we lose interest and take in less information. This negative experience of education at school may lead to people avoiding learning opportunities in later life.
So, don’t let a negative educational experience prevent you learning something new as an adult. Take advantage of your biology and discover your inner philomath. Who knows what you could achieve
8. Why does the author mention “Michael Nicholson” in paragraph 1
A. To lead to a topic. B. To introduce a figure.

9. What is paragraph 2 mainly about
A. Humans can be lifelong learners.
B. Creatures like primates can’t learn.

A. Less learning opportunities.
B. Old memories of school days.
C. Ways to connect old and new ideas.
D. Bad education experiences when young.
11. What does the author intend to do by writing this text
A. To praise people who can’t stop learning.
B. To make it clear to people what is a philomath.
C. To explain why some people don’t like studying.
D. To encourage people to be passionate in learning.
【答案】8. A 9. A 10. D 11. D

The levees (防洪堤) that protect New Orleans held up against Hurricane Ida’s fury (猛烈), passing their first big test since Hurricane Katrina that struck 16 years ago. The government spent billions of dollars to upgrade the city’s levee system which had failed before Katrina. But the effort couldn’t spare some neighboring communities from Ida’s terrible storm surge (风暴潮).
Many people living in LaPlace, located 25 miles west of New Orleans, had to be rescued from rising floodwaters. Marcie Jacob Hebert ran away before Ida. But she has no doubt that the storm flooded her LaPlace home. Her house didn’t flood during Katrina. But it took on nearly two feet of water during Hurricane Isaac in 2012. “We didn’t have these problems until everybody else’s levees worked,” said Hebert, 46. “It may not be the only cause, but I sure do think it makes a difference.”
Gov. John Bel Edwards said a recent survey of levees across Louisiana showed they did exactly what they were for and held the water out. “We don’t believe there is a single levee anywhere now that actually broke or failed. There were only a few smaller levees in New Orleans that failed,” Edwards said.
After Katrina, the government spent $14.5 billion on projects designed to improve protection from storm surge and flooding in New Orleans and nearby areas. The system is a 130-mile ring built to hold out storm surge of about 30 feet. In August 2005, Hurricane Katrina produced a storm surge that flooded about four-fifths of the city, causing over 1,800 deaths.
Work recently began on a levee project to protect LaPlace and other communities outside New Orleans’ levee system. That project will be completed in 2024.
“I’m glad they’re building us a levee, but I worry about what happens to the next group further to the west,” Hebert said. “The water has got to go somewhere no matter how many levee systems are built. We can’t just keep moving it from person to person, place to place.”
12. What is the reason for the flooding in LaPlace according to Hebert
A. Heavy rainfall. B. Weather change. C. Levees breaking. D. Nearby levees.
13. What does Edwards think of the flood protection system in New Orleans
A. It costs too much. B. It may cause danger.
C. It is generally satisfying. D. It badly needs improvements.
14. What does the author want to do in paragraph 4
A. Provide some helpful suggestions. B. Offer some background information.
C. Introduce a new topic for discussion. D. Discuss the causes of the problem.
15. Which of the following would Hebert most probably agree with
A. Levees cannot completely solve the problem.
B. Some locals had better move away from LaPlace.
C. The levee project in LaPlace won’t be finished on time.
D. It is a mistake to build a levee system for locals in LaPlace.
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. B 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是新闻报道。文章主要讲述了奥尔良的堤坝并没有完全阻挡洪水。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中““We didn’t have these problems until everybody else’s levees worked,” said Hebert, 46. “It may not be the only cause, but I sure do think it makes a difference.”(46岁的赫伯特说: “直到其他人的堤坝开始工作,我们才有了这些问题。”“这可能不是唯一的原因,但我确实认为它起到了作用。”)”可知,Hebert认为附近的堤坝导致了洪水,故选D。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Gov. John Bel Edwards said a recent survey of levees across Louisiana showed they did exactly what they were for and held the water out. “We don’t believe there is a single levee anywhere now that actually broke or failed. There were only a few smaller levees in New Orleans that failed,” Edwards said.(州长约翰·贝尔·爱德华斯表示,最近对路易斯安那州各地堤坝的调查显示,堤坝的作用恰到好处,挡住了洪水。“我们不认为现在哪里有一座堤坝真的崩溃了。在新奥尔良只有少数较小的堤坝失败了。”)”可推知,Edwards认为新奥尔良的洪水保护系统总的来说还是令人满意的。故选C。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“After Katrina, the government spent $14.5 billion on projects designed to improve protection from storm surge and flooding in New Orleans and nearby areas. The system is a 130-mile ring built to hold out storm surge of about 30 feet. In August 2005, Hurricane Katrina produced a storm surge that flooded about four-fifths of the city, causing over 1,800 deaths.(卡特里娜飓风过后,美国政府斥资145亿美元用于改善新奥尔良及其附近地区防御风暴潮和洪水的工程。该系统是一个130英里长的环形结构,可以抵御约30英尺的风暴潮。2005年8月,飓风卡特里娜引发的风暴潮淹没了该市约五分之四的地区,造成1800多人死亡。)”可知,第四段介绍了一些用于防洪堤建设的费用,以及曾经发生过的洪水导致的伤亡事件,由此可推知,第四段主要是提供一些背景信息,故选B。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段Hebert所说的话“The water has got to go somewhere no matter how many levee systems are built. We can’t just keep moving it from person to person, place to place.(不管建造多少堤坝系统,水总要流到某个地方。我们不能一直把它从一个人转移到另一个地方)”可知,虽然人们一直在修建防洪堤,但这并不是完美且及时的解决问题,人们不能一直搬迁,由此可推知,防洪堤并不是解决洪水问题的最佳选择,故选A。
