What's on your travel list for 2020? I’ve consulted s everal travel experts to find out the top places in the USA worth visiting in 2020.
Where: New Orleans, Louisiana
Why: New Orleans is known for its music and food scene-not to mention the festivals.
It has about 130 festivals each year so there's really no bad time to visit. Bourbon Street is the obvious choice for food, drink and jazz and it's definitely a must-visit location, especially for first-timers to the city.
Where: Vail, Colorado
Why: Vail is the perfect destination for travelers looking to find almost everything in one central spot. Stay at the amazing Four Seasons Resort and Residences Vail to be steps away from Vail Village, a popular town with cobblestone(鹅卵石）streets for wandering leisurely. The country's largest free transportation system runs frequently, making it easy to access almost anywhere from Vail Village to Lionshead Village.
Where: Hudson Valley, New York
Why: The Hudson Valley is where New Yorkers go to escape the city when they need a healthy dose of nature and relaxation. Just an hour and half north of New York City, the Hudson Valley is made up of small, impossibly charming towns, where the air is fresher and things do move slower in the m ountains.
21.You can enjoy different things in New Orleans except .
A. scenery
B. music
C. festivals
D. food
22.Which place would you prefer if you like wandering leisurely?
A. Bourbon Street.
B. Vail Village.
C. Lionshead Village.
D. New Orleans.
23.What can New Yorkers enjoy in the
Hudson Valley?
A. Ancient towns.
B. Healthy diets.

It's been a long journey from January 10.1972.when Rick was born a spastic quadriplegic(四肢瘫痪者）with cerebral palsy(脑瘫）. Doctors told the young Hoyts that their son had no hope of a normal life.
As Rick grew, his parents noticed he was far from a "vegetable" as doctors had called him. "We could tell by looking in Rick's eyes that he understood everything we were saying. We taught him the alphabet and numbers and did a lot of reading with him. " says Dick’s the father.
Then with the help of the Tufts Interactive Communicator(TIC),Rick was able to use his head movement to tap out (用键盘敲出)words and phrases.
As Rick tapped out his first words. His parents debated over what he'd say. To their surprise, his first words were "Go, Bruins!" "We knew right then and there that he understood everything, and that he loved sports and followed the game just like anyone else." says Dick’s father.
When Rick was in high school. He wanted to take part in a 5-mile road race, and they did finish the race. That night, Rick tapped out a message that would change the course of his life. He wrote." Dad, when I'm running it feels like I'm not disabled."
“That was a very powerful message for me." recalls Dick’s father. He knew he wanted to lend Rick his arms and legs so he could compete in other races.
With the father pushing his disabled son in a wheelchair, the father-son Team Hoyt began running races. Dick says that some people thought he was being selfish, pushing his disabled son in races. "They thought I was doing it for myself. They didn't understand Rick was the one wanting to race," he says.
Team Hoyt has completed to date over 1.075 running events, including marathons and Ironman triathlons (三项全能运动）.

A huge 42 percent of marriages in the UK end in divorce, the highest rate in Europe. What is happening in the UK to cause such a phenomenon( 现象)? Many consider the family to be the basic building block of society. If marriages and families are falling apart, is the UK society also falling apart? Is the UKs cultural identity breaking down? The UK of today is one of the most multicultural countries on earth. There are exotic sights and sounds on the street corners of every British city. British cuisine is now one of the most diverse around. Everyone speaks with a different accent.
Is such diversity a good thing? Well, it makes the UK a very exciting place to live in. There are new ideas everywhere. There is great freedom to be who you want to be, and most people will not criticize you for who you are. Yet such freedom seems to come at a cost. Some British people regard ethnic minorities (少数民族) as coming to the UK to steal jobs. When the economy does badly, this feeling increases as unemployment rates rise. So, it could be argued that the breakdown of marriages in the UK is in some part because of the pressures put upon families by wider problems in British society. Many people become stressed when those problems arise, and that can then make their family life unhappy as well.
Another possible reason for the high divorce rate might be that marriage no longer has the same value or meaning for British people as it once did. Church attendance in the UK has been falling for the last 50 years, suggesting fewer people consider marriage a holy thing. Since 1991, there has been a drop of 50 percent in people getting married in church rather than a register
office.
Then there is the financial side. In the past, married couples paid lower government taxes than single people. That tax incentive (激励) policy, which used to reduce a couples tax by up to 500 in a year, has now disappeared, making the cost to keep a marriage higher.
However, the 42 percent UK divorce rate isn’t the highest rate in the past forty years! Meanwhile, some measures are being taken to strengthen marriage in the UK by the government.
28.According to the text, all the following are the reasons for the high divorce rate except
.
A. Desire for freedom.
B. Social problems.
C. Change of values.
D. Financial pressures.
29.What does the und erlined word “exotic” probably mean in paragraph2?
A. amazing
B. foreign
C. local
D. familiar
30.What can be inferred from the text?
A Cultural diversity has brought people freedom to
criticize others. B The rising of the divorce rate
indicates the society is falling apart.
C The tax incentive policy once contributed to steady families to some degree.
D More British people would get married in the church rather than in a register office.
31 What’s the writer’s attitude towards the present situation of the div orce rate in UK?
A.Pessimistic
B. Unconcerned
C. Doubtful
D. Optimistic
D
Robots are often described in popular science fiction as the bad characters that take over the world and enslave mankind. But with the beginning of some serious diseases, robots are increasingly being employed as helpers, taking on often dull, difficult and dangerous tasks and thus reducing humans 'exposure to some terrifying virus.
In the United States, two of the main ways in which robotic technology is being used in the hospitals are to disinfect (消毒）hospital rooms and act as a telemedicine portal, allowing doctors and health care workers to communicate via video conference directly with patients without unnecessarily exposing themselves to those highly infectious virus.
In Boston, doctors, researchers and robotics engineers have teamed up to bring a friendly, dog-like, four- legged robot named Spot into Brigham and Women' s Hospital, allowing doctors to communicate with patients via telemedicine.
In March, at the start of the pandemic, a team from hospital, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Spot's manufacturer-Boston Dynamics, began testing the robot's design to enable Spot to communicate with patients, thus reducing the exposure of frontline health care workers to the virus. In the place of a head, Spot has an iPad fixed on a stand, allowing doctors to conduct telemedicine services with their patients.
＂Most people actually really like it," says Dr. Peter Chai, an emergency medicine physician who serves as the hospital's chief researcher on the robot project.
Researchers are working to increase the robot's diagnostic abilities, enabling it to measure the patients’ temperature and his or her respiratory rate (呼吸率）.
Chai predicts that hospitals will continue to find more ways to use robots, and wonders whether robots can deliver supplies to rooms or see patients with other infectious diseases
32.What words can best describe the jobs robots are employed to do?
A. Normal and easy.
B. Exciting and dangerous.
C. Dirty and complex.
D. Frightening and difficult.
33.Why are robots being used in American hospitals?
A. To save money.
B. To replace doctors.
C. To protect doctors from infecting virus.
D. To deliver supplies to patients and doctors.
34.What do we know about Spot?
A.It is a friendly dog.
B.It can deliver supplies to hospital rooms.
C.It can help adjust the patient's temperature.
D.It allows doctors to conduct telemedicine services.
35.What can be the best title for the text?
A. Spot, the Robot Dog
B. Train Robot Doctors
C. Robots Being Used in Hospital
D. Robots in Popular Science Fiction

You can place your hand on the back of the seat to reassure and steady her as soon as she is in motion and then let go._39
