From Antigua to Zanzibar，these spots promise an incredible trip for 2019.

Antigua，Guatemala

“Antigua is worth every penny，but that doesn’t mean you’ll have to empty your wallet，” says Hudson.There are plenty of budget-conscious activities.It won’t cost you a coin to visit Santo Domingo del Cerro，an outdoor sculpture park.Wanting something sweet? Head to ChocoMuseo.Admission is free and so are the samples!

Odessa，Ukraine

Odessa is having a bit of a tourism boom nationwide—not that we’re surprised，given its sandy beaches and pastel-colored buildings—but it’s still fairly under the order for international audiences.You can also count on this port city for affordable fun.Tickets to the Odessa Opera House start at a mere $2!

Bogotá，Colombia

“Travelers on budget will find Colombia’s vast capital far more of a bargain and every bit as fascinating，” says Hudson.“It’s free to visit Museo de Oro and on Sundays many of the big roads are closed to accommodate food carts，street entertainers，and pedestrians.”

Zanzibar

Zanzibar attracts vacationers with its white sand beaches，greenish-blue tides，colorful coral reefs，and oceanfront seaside.Of course，wandering in historic Stone Town is pretty appealing too.Either way，you needn’t spend a penny in this amazing place.It’s also worth noting that Jozani Forest is the only place in the world you can see endangered red colobus monkeys.

(2019·广州高中毕业班综合测试一)

When Lina was awoken by the sound of thunder，she was alone on the island.The air was cool and bullfrogs croaked.It was that brief moment when the summer sun had set but the stars hadn’t yet appeared.Lina rubbed her eyes and looked around.

“Hello？” she called.“Celia? Marie？”

There was no response.

The moon was rising now，shedding light on the island.They had always called it “Forgotten Island” because no one but they seemed to remember its existence.It wasn’t on any of the maps they could find，and even the forest rangers didn’t know about it.Lina loved that the island，hidden in a heavily-wooded side stream of the river，was a secret between the three friends—her，Celia，and Marie.

But now Lina was here alone，and it was night.Worse still，it was her own fault.

“Come on，Lina，let Marie row the boat.” Celia had said.Marie was two years older than Lina，but she was a hopeless rower.That’s why Lina refused and rowed the boat to the island.The argument that followed the refusal took the usual form.Celia took Marie’s side，as she always did.Lina had exploded and yelled at them to just leave.So they got back in the boat and left.

A bolt of lightning crossed the darkened sky，accompanied by a deafening thunder clap.The storm was here.As the first cold raindrop slid down her neck，Lina’s mind returned to her current problem.She was stuck here by herself.She just hoped she didn’t become as forgotten as the island.The thought of it sent a chill(寒意)down her back.

Suddenly，Lina spotted something in the water.It was a boat，and inside it were Marie，Celia，and Marie’s dad，who was steering through the fast flowing waters.As the boat approached，they saw Lina waving and the worried expressions on their faces turned to relief.

In her excitement Lina jumped into the river.Only once she was in the icy water did she remember how fast the water was moving.Luckily a strong arm reached into the water and pulled her out.She smiled weakly at Marie’s dad and，without a word，hugged Celia and Marie.They didn’t seem to mind becoming wet.

4．What can be inferred about the island?

A．It is very near the ocean.

B．It is a popular place for boating.

C．It is surrounded by thick forest.

A．Marie did not help row the boat.

B．Lina was left alone on the island.

C．Marie didn’t know how to row the boat.

D．Celia supported Marie in the disagreement.

While elephants born without tusks(长牙)are not unheard of，they normally form just 2 to 6 percent of the population.However，that is not the case at Mozambique’s Gorongosa National Park，where an astonishing 33 percent of female elephants born after the country’s civil war ended in 1992 are tuskless.While that may appear to be just a coincidence，Joyce Poole，an elephant behavior expert，has another theory.The researcher thinks we may be witnessing unnatural evolution of the species due to the constant hunting of elephants for valuable ivory.

Poole says before the country’s 15-year-long civil war，the 100,000-acre park was home to over 4,000 elephants.However，by the time the conflict ended in 1992，about 90 percent of them had been killed for ivory to help finance weapons(武器) and meat to feed the soldiers.Of the less than 200 survivors，over 50 percent of adult females had no tusks.Therefore，it is not surprising that the park’s tuskless elephant population has grown greatly.

This is not the first time researchers have observed a great change in the population of elephants.At Zambia’s South Luangwa National Park and Lupande Game Management Area，areas which were heavily hunted in the 1970s and 1980s,35% of elephants 25 years or older and 13% of those younger than 25 are now without tusks.A 2008 study published in the African Journal of Ecology found that the number of tuskless females at the Ruaha National Park in Tanzania went from 10.5 percent in 1969 to almost 40 percent in 1989，largely due to illegal hunting for ivory.

The recent ban on ivory in both the US and China should help get rid of，or at least reduce，

elephant hunting.However，scientists are not sure how long it will take for elephants with a higher rate of tuskless females，to change the trend.

8．What is the probable cause of the phenomenon mentioned in Paragraph 1?

A．Illegal hunting.

B．Constant farming.

C．A pure coincidence.

D．Natural evolution.

答案 A

解析细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句可知，越来越多无牙母象出现的原因是非法狩猎，故选A。

9．Why did people kill so many elephants during the civil war in Mozambique?

A．To get funds by selling ivory.

B．To develop new weapons.

C．To provide food for local people.

D．To make ivory products.

答案 A

解析细节理解题。根据第二段第二句可知，在莫桑比克内战期间，人们杀死那么多大象是为了通过出售象牙来获得资金，故选A。

10．Which of the following had the earliest record on tuskless elephants?

A．Gorongosa National Park.

B．South Luangwa National Park.

C．The Ruaha National Park.

D．Lupande Game Management Area.

答案 C

解析细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句可知，关于无牙大象的最早记录是在坦桑尼亚的罗哈国家公园，故选C。

11．What does the underlined phrase “the trend” in the last paragraph refer to? A．Elephants facing greater danger.

B．Elephants growing more slowly.

C．Fewer female elephants staying alive.

D．More female elephants being tuskless.

答案 D

解析词义猜测题。由画线词所在的句子“However，scientists are not sure how long it will take for elephants with a higher rate of tuskless females，to change the trend.”可知，the trend指的是更多的母象没有象牙，故选D。

D

When it comes to focusing at work，there is no lack of things to take responsibility for our wandering minds.Refreshing Twitter，scanning the news，talking with colleagues about small beer.But there’s one possible cause of frequent distraction(分心)．Our work isn’t complex enough，and there isn’t enough of it.

This idea isn’t popular，especially with those who feel they’re already working busily.Actually complex tasks demand more of our working memory and attention，with little mental distraction.We get bored when our skills go beyond the demands of our work.And we feel anxious when the demands of a task go beyond our skills.Understanding your skill level，and matching this with a worthy task will make you more likely to be fully devoted to your work.Besides questioning the complexity of tasks，it’s worth reflecting on whether you have enough work to do in general.If not，you’re inviting distraction.

Think back to your last deadline.That timeline offers you no distractions like using social media.Our workload tends to expand to fit the time available for the completion of work.Small tasks that should take two hours will take an entire workday if we have that time available.Distractions are to blame for this time trap.

A few years ago，after I finished a report on a tight deadline，I continued to be just as busy.I entered my social media accounts when I should have been working.I checked new emails constantly.I felt guilty when I wasn’t busy，and I alleviated this guilt by filling my time with busy work.

Later I realized busy work couldn’t really bring the relief，for the guilt came from the fact that I was working without intention.When we have more to do，choosing what we do ahead of time becomes necessary.Therefore，if you have distraction，consider that you might need to work harder on projects that will fill your days and enrich your life.

12．What do people usually blame for being distracted?

A．The absence of work complexity.

B．Their colleagues’ lack of teamwork.

C．Social media or chats with colleagues.

D．The tiredness after hours of hard work.

答案 C

解析细节理解题。第一段引出作者的观点，说人们工作时会分心，这是因为工作不够复杂，或者工作量不够，但是我们却总是把责任归咎于更新推特、浏览新闻和与同事闲聊等，总结信息可得出，人们通常会将他们的分心归咎于C项“社交媒体或是和同事的闲聊”。13．When will we feel anxious at work?

A．When we don’t have enough tasks to do.

B．When our ability can’t meet job requirements.

C．When we are busy with work for a long while.

D．When we spend too much time on social media.

答案 B

解析细节理解题。根据第二段第四句“And we feel anxious when the demands of a task go beyond our skills.”可知，当我们的工作要求超过了我们的能力时，我们就会感到焦虑，因此选B。

14．Which of the following can best explain the underlined word “alleviated” in Paragraph 4? A．Forgot. B．Researched.

C．Deepened. D．Eased.

答案 D

解析词义猜测题。根据画线词后面的“by filling my time with busy work”和第五段第一句“Later I realized busy work couldn’t really bring the relief...”可知，该词与bring the relief相对应，意为“减轻，缓解”，因此选D。

15．What’s the author’s suggestion on dealing with distraction?

A．Work hard with the intention to fill our life.

B．Balance between our work and social activities.

C．Expand our workload to fit the time available.

D．Remove the sense of guilt about mind’s wandering away.

答案 A

解析推理判断题。根据最后一段中“guilt came...working without intention”“consider that you might need to work harder on projects that will fill your days and enrich your life”可知，作者认为内疚来自工作无计划，如果我们工作时分心，就要考虑在一些能丰富我们生活的事上多做努力。由此推知，作者建议有计划地在能丰富我们生活的事情上努力，因此选A。
