16、when I am writing this case study now, a huge flood of memories from that exciting week come! My placement (实习工作) was at a nursery and that in itself was hardly “work” playing with the children, reading to them and taking them to see local childrens performers was by far the most enjoyable work I ha
17、ve ever undertaken. In the afternoons it doubled as an English-teaching after-school club of sorts, which was incidentally a brilliant way for me to learn Spanish while the pupils picked up some English. On Monday during the siesta (午休), I went with friends to an amazing restaurant for lunch, where
18、we enjoyed delicious Spanish food and drink. In the evening, we visited local restaurants and cafes and had a brilliant time! This was a pattern that I tended to follow throughout the week. Besides the social activities, I also made good use of my camera and used it to capture the stunning beauty of
19、 many of Salamancas buildings. The trip was definitely an invaluable experience the large amount of independence that we were given taught me to be more responsible, and the few people that were initially (起初的) homesick got over it almost immediately. Having now visited Spain, I can honestly say it

25、ter at.Lighthouses are built on or near the shore to help guide ships away from danger. However, the threat of rising sea level has many people worried about the future of lighthouses worldwide. The East Point Lighthouse in New Jersey has been lighting up the Delaware Bay for more than 200 years. Bu
26、t the waters that surround it may bring about its end. During storms, water hits a wall that is just nine meters from the front of the lighthouse. After each major storm, the wall around the lighthouse has to be rebuilt and 1, 300-kilogram sand bags and other methods are used to protect it. A simple
27、 fix would cost about 3 million dollars. Rising sea levels have already forced the relocation of several lighthouses. In 1999, the National Park Service moved the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse in North Carolina, nearly 884 meters inland, which cost about 11. 8 million dollars. In 1993, the Southeast Ligh
28、thouse on Block Island, which is still guiding ships, was moved more than 91 meters inland. Tim Harrison is the editor of Lighthouse Digest, a publication (出版) based in the northern state of Maine. It has a list of 53 lighthouses around the United States that may be lost because of the effects of cl
29、imate change. “Lighthouses were built for one purpose: to save lives. Some of Americas lighthouses continue to be used to guide ships and other boats. But a good number have been replaced by modern technology. Instead, the lighthouses are valued more for historical reasons.” Tim said. “Now its our t
30、urn to step up and save these lighthouses.”But some lighthouses have already been lost. Both the Galveston Jetty Lighthouse in Texas and the Sabine Bank Lighthouse in Louisiana were lost to storms or rising seas. And the Kauhola Point Lighthouse on Hawaiis Big Island was taken down after erosion nea
31、rby was so severe that it could not be saved. Other lighthouses that are considered to be in danger from rising seas include the Sand Island Lighthouse in Alabama and the New Point Comfort Lighthouse in Virginia.28Why is the East Point Lighthouse listed in paragraph 2?ATo show the effect of mankind

34、zing causes.CBy giving explanations.DBy listing examples.Since the first report of “zombie deer” about 50 years ago, sightings of the deer have spread to several parts of the United States, mostly because the cause of the disease has spread as well. “Zombie deer”, of course, has to do with a deadly
35、disease. “Zombie deer” disease is a type of prion disease that affects deer. Prions are small, abnormal, infectious proteins that cause proteins in the body to fold abnormally. The disease gets more serious as it progresses, and it is always deadly. “A lot of the concern about this disease is based
36、on something that occurred years ago,” said Doctor Ryan Maddox. Maddox was referring to fears from another prion disease, “mad cow,” which was first found in England, where it spread to humans. “Mad cow” disease is not what is affecting the deer. This disease is spread between deer through direct co
37、ntact or indirect contact with infected soil, water or food. Once introduced to an area: this disease can spread quickly among deer. Even after an infected deer dies, the risk of it spreading to other deer can last a long time. Although the rate of infection in deer across the country is low, infect
38、ion rates may be as high as 10 to 25% in places where it is common. Deer with this disease may not show it for several months to years. But slowly, signs of the disease may develop, including dramatic weight loss, trembling, thirst and aggression. Infected deer may also display a lack of fear of peo
39、ple and may be more out in the open, making them more susceptible(易受影响的)to hunting. There is no evidence that this disease occurs in humans or that humans can even get infected. If the disease were able to spread to people, the most likely way would be through eating infected deer meat. In areas whe
40、re the disease is common, hunters are supposed to test the animals before they eat their meat. If they test positive, meat from that animal should not be eaten.32Why are people concerned about zombie deer discase?AThere is no certain cure for it.BHumans may get infected with it.CIt will kill all the
41、 deer soon.DIt gets more serious than before.33What do we know about zombie deer disease from the text?AIt spreads only through direct contact.BIts hard to rid other deer of being infected.CIts common in one quarter of American states.DThe speed of its spreading is slower than expected.34Which of th
42、e following can best describe an infected deer?AIt becomes fatter than before.BIt tends to be gentler than before.CIt becomes less balanced than before.DIt becomes less alert than before.35What does the text suggest hunters do about the deer meat?AHave the deer tested first.BAssess the danger of eat
43、ing it.CKeep it in fridge for days.DCheck the deers living environment.五、七选五Lots of people ride bikes for lots of different reasons.
