26、 Antarctica is one of the last untouched frontiers on the planet. Despite its tough conditions, an Antarctic trip is far less dangerous nowadays than in the past. Here are the most popular routes to Antarctica, with different start points, pathways, and modes of transportation.

1. Ship tour from Argentina

Departing from Ushuaia is the most popular route when going to Antarctica from South American ports. Ushuaia is situated closer to Antarctic Peninsula (半岛) than other departure points, hence you can have more time spent on the scenic peninsula admiring icebergs, glaciers and abundant wildlife. There are a variety of ships from Ushuaia to choose.

Duration: 6 to 24 days

Cost: Between USD 6,000 and USD 25,000

Good to know: If you still want to visit some other incredible South American destinations, some suggestions are the Galapagos Islands, Rio de Janeiro and Machu Picchu.

2. Fly-ship tour from Chile

If you want to avoid spending two days crossing the Drake Passage and encounter rough seas in the bad weather, you can choose a fly-ship package. This involves flying to King George Island, which is right off the west coast of Antarctica Peninsula, to join a ship trip. You can also go ashore to experience the same sightseeing and wildlife opportunities.

Duration: 8 days

Cost: Between USD 10,000 and USD 15,000

Good to know: If you have limited time and do not wish to spend more time on a ship than is necessary, then the fly-ship option is ideal.

3. Ship tour from Australia or New Zealand

Although you are unlikely to encounter any other ship all the way, you will see huge icebergs, Mount Erebus (an active volcano), emperor penguins, scientific bases and the sites of historic 20th century Antarctic adventures. If you are looking for a feeling of vast isolation and remoteness, this is the trip to take!

Duration: 26 to 30 days

Cost: USD 16,000 and USD 30,000

27、   This simple little device is helping to deal with one of the most annoying symptoms（症状）of Parkinson’s disease—and its creators have just been awarded more than 1 million dollars.

Danish businesswoman Lise Pape was inspired to develop the Path Finder device after her own father developed Parkinson’s disease in 2014. The device, which is attached to a patient’s shoe and shines a laser (激光) onto the floor, helps to prevent “freezing of gait”: a common symptom of the disease which makes the patient feel as if they are unable to walk.

“People describe it as this feeling of being glued to the floor and being unable to step forward with their feet, despite having the intention to do so,” said Pape. “In fact, 70% of all falls in Parkinson’s disease are thought to be due to this symptom.”

Surprisingly, researchers have found that it is easy for patients to avoid this symptom if they have a visual pattern for them to follow as they walk. That’s why Pape designed the Path Finder laser pointer to display a bright green line in front of the wearer’s feet.

Not only do studies show that the laser device helps to reduce the frequency of freezing episodes (发作), they also say that the Path Finder reduces the length of the episodes as well.

Since Pape founded her Walk With Path company in 2017, the devices have been given to individuals and healthcare systems in Norway, Denmark, Canada, and the UK. Carlos Moedas, Chairman of Research and Science, said: “This device makes a real difference for senior citizens by helping them maintain an active social life as well as their independence.”

【1】What made Lise Pape decide to invent the Path Finder?

A．Her father’s Parkinsons disease.

B．Her father’s expectations of her.

C．Her desire to win the 1 million dollars.

D．Her passion for invention.

【2】What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 3 refer to?

A．Freezing of gait.

B．A sudden fall.

C．The laser pointer.

D．The intention to walk.

【3】How does the device benefit people with Parkinsons disease?

A．By warning them of falls.

B．By reducing their loneliness.

C．By helping reduce freezing episodes.

D．By improving their eyesight.

【4】What does Carlos Moedas think of the device?

A．Excellent.

B．Ordinary.

C．Expensive.

D．Impractical

31、Directions: Complete the following passages by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

As dusk falls at the Lehua Night Market, the fluorescent (荧光的) lights flicker on and the hungry customers start trickling in, anxious for a taste of the local delicacies that give this island its reputation as one of Asia’s finest cookery 【1】 .

Nearly arranged pyramids of plump fish balls, bowls filled with tapioca balls 【2】  in lightly sweetened sauce, sizzling oyster omelets, hot off the griddle, deep-fried sweet potato puffs (冒热气), still 【3】 with oil. Take a bite of any of these dishes and you’ll discover a unique texture. But how exactly do you 【4】 that perfect “mouth feel” so sought after by local cooks and eaters alike? Slippery? Chewy? Not exactly.

Luckily, the people in Taiwan have a word for this texture. Well, actually, it’s not a word, it’s a letter—one that even non-Chinese speakers can pronounce.

It’s “Q.” Basically, it means springy, soft, elastic.

Andre Chiang, a Michelin-star chef and owner of RAW in Taipei, said he has been 【5】 with the texture at his restaurant, which uses only local materials. “It’s like aldente (筋道) but not quite,” Mr. Chiang said.

Q is so well 【6】 in Taiwan that many in Hong Kong and across the Taiwan Strait in mainland China use the term as well.

There are many other uses for the term Q in Chinese as well. It could be used, for example, as short form for the English word “【7】”, or to refer to the once-popular QQ messaging service from Tencent.

Among the local people, the 【8】 for Q texture starts at a young age. On a recent sticky evening at the Lehua Night Market, a group of people gathered at stand with a sign that 【9】 “QQ ice lolly.” Asked why Q texture was so 【10】 to Taiwanese, Lu Wei-chen, the owner of the stand, smiled as she handed a bright red jelly bar to a delighted toddler.

“It’s simple,” she said. “When you eat it, you will be in a good mood.”
