15、ime, energy and expense is high, and it is easy to be trapped because you are not local. If it is the peak season travel, it is difficult to book the hotel and tickets!

22、.23Where can the passage be from?AA travel magazine.BAds from a newspaper.CA travel brochure.DBlogs on the web.The human criterion for perfect vision is 20/20 for reading the standard lines on a Snellen eye chart without any problem. The score is determined by how well you read lines of letters of d
23、ifferent sizes from 20 feet away. But being able to read the bottom line on the eye chart does not approximate perfection as far as other species are concerned.Most birds would consider us very visually handicapped (缺陷）。 The hawk, for instance, has such sharp eyes that it can spot a dime on the side
24、walk while perched on top of the Empire State Building. It can make fine visual distinctions because it is blessed with one million cones per square millimeter in its retina (视网膜）。 And in water, humans are farsighted, while the kingfisher, swooping down to spear fish, can see well in both the air an
25、d water because it is endowed with two foveae (凹窝）areas of the eye, consisting mostly of cones, that provide visual distinctions. One fovea permits the bird, while in the air, to scan the water below with one eye at a time. This is called monocular vision. Once it hits the water, the other fovea joi
26、ns in, allowing the kingfisher to focus both eyes, like binoculars, on its prey at the same time. A frogs vision is distinguished by its ability to perceive things as a constant motion picture. Known as “bug detectors”， a highly developed set of cells in a frogs eyes responds mainly to moving object
27、s. So, it is said that a frog sitting in a field of dead bugs wouldnt see them as food and would starve.The bee has a“compound”eye,which is used for navigation. It has 15,000 facets that divide what it sees into a pattern of dots, or mosaic. With this kind of vision, the bee sees the sun only as a s
28、ingle dot, a constant point of reference. Thus, the eye is a superb navigational instrument that constantly measures the angle of its line of flight in relation to the sun. A bees eye also gauges (测量） flight speed. And if that is not enough to leave our 20/20 “perfect vision” paling into insignifica
29、nce, the bee is capable of seeing something we cant-ultraviolet light. Thus, what humans consider to be “perfect vision” is in fact rather limited when we look at other species.However, there is still much to be said for the human eye. Of all the mammals, only humans and some primates can enjoy the
30、pleasures of color vision.24How is hawks eyesight better than ours?AIt can identify small items more quickly than we do.BIt can see at a longer distance than we do.CIt has more cones in the retina than any other species.DIt has bigger eyes than we do.25Monocular vision enables the kingfisher toAavoi

32、idea of the passage?AThe differences between human eyes and other species eyes.BThe advantages of other species eyes in comparison with human eyes.CThe factors that make other species eyes better than human eyes.DThe standard that determines the perfect vision of human eyes.People in their sixties s
33、hould go to university to retrain because they will be expected to work for longer before retirement, the government has suggested.Older workers who take courses to keep their skills up to date will be more likely to keep their jobs,claims David Willetts, the higher education minister. Mr. Willetts
34、said the age limit on student loans to cover tuition fees (学费） had been lifted, making a degree course “great value” for older people. This would help them cope with the pressure they would face to keep up to date as they worked well into their sixties, he suggested.His comments followed a governmen
35、t report which found that the countrys future economic success would depend on the skills and contributions of older workers.Campaigners for the elderly voiced doubts that prospective pensioners would be willing to commit to challenging degree courses and increased levels of debt to continue working
36、. One in four people will be older than 65 by 2033 and economists have warned that the ageing population will place an unsustainable (无法持续的）burden on taxpayers unless more people work for longer. The state pension age is to rise to 67 by 2028. Ministers have warned that they have no idea when younge
37、r workers in their thirties will be able to retire.Mr. Willetts, urged workers older than 60 to give further education serious consideration. “There is certainly a pressure for continuing to get retrained and upskilled,” he said. “Higher education has an economic benefit in that if you stay up to da
38、te with knowledge and skills you are more employable. ” “Education is such a good thing it is not reserved for younger people,” he said.“There will be people of all ages who will want to study. There is great value in lifelong learning.”Under previous rules, students in England were eligible(符合条件的）f
39、or a loan to cover tuition fees only if they were younger than 54. Latest figures showed that only 1,940 under-graduates starting courses last year were older than 60, out of a total of 552,240 students in Britain. Some 6,455 were aged between 50 and 60, according to the Higher Education Statistics
40、Agency.28Why is it great value for older people to take a degree course?ABecause they can get training without paying student loans.BBecause they can cover the college tuition fees by themselves.CBecause they are allowed to apply for student loans.DBecause they face the age limit when applying for t
41、he tuition fees.29Who will most probably refuse to continue to work through taking a degree course?AElderly workers.BProspective pensioners.CMature taxpayers,DYoung students.30According to Mr. Willetts, what is the advantage of higher education?AIt allows people at various ages to get good education
42、 paying no tuition fees.BYounger people have more chances to achieve a higher degree than the old.COlder workers can take the opportunity to fulfill their dreams of learning.DUp-to-date knowledge and skills can increase peoples probability of being hired.31It can be inferred from the last paragraph
43、that_.APeople older than 54 now cant apply for student loans to cover their tuition feesBOlder people who are willing to get retrained now are becoming fewer and fewerCThe older people become, the fewer of them will receive higher educationDUndergraduates older than 50 account for more than 7% of st
44、udents in BritainHolly OBrien didnt know Meagan Hughes, another Korean American nurse working on the same floor-and the same shift-at Doctors Hospital of Sarasota. After OBrien and Hughes finally met, they did begin to notice parallels in their lives. They were both certified（持证的） nursing assistants
45、.They were both orphans who had been adopted by American families. And their reasons for ending up at the orphanages (孤儿院） were the same: abandonment.Suddenly, the coincidences seemed more than merely interesting. +In fact, for years, OBrien sensed that shed had a half-sister in Republic of Korea.Th
46、ough her mother had disappeared when she was an infant and she was only five when her father was killed by a train, she had a memory of her and her father living, briefly, with his second wife and a baby girl. OBrien was ultimately adopted by a loving couple from Alexandria, Virginia, but her Korean
47、 childhood never left her. She remembered one night, when she was about nine years old, she woke up from a dream and screamed, “My daddy died. I have a sister. I need to find her. ” OBriens adoptive family contacted the orphanage in Korea for information, but there was no record of a sibling.Hughes
48、wasnt haunted by lingering memories; instead, she was haunted because she didnt have any. Adopted when she was four by a family in Kingston, New York, she couldnt remember either of her biological parents. “My whole life has been a question in my mind, and emptiness,” she said.Now the coincidence of meeting OBrien offered the chance to fill in the blanks. A year a
