Today’s modern travelers are journeying further to explore Europe off the beaten track， and bringing home new skills and experience. Here are 4 ideas for an unusual holiday in Europe.

Volunteer in Transylvania

Transylvania is a top choice for an unusual European city break， with wonderfully preserved medieval towns and castles that inspired the famous novel Dracula. In addition， you can take your unusual holiday experience even further by volunteering in Eastern Europe’s largest bear reserve and working with bears.

Teach skiing in Austria

Austria is one of Europe’s top skiing destinations. If you’re looking for a more unusual way to spend a winter holiday， why not consider training to be a ski instructor there？ You’ll gain a qualification that is recognized worldwide， and this program includes a guaranteed paid instructor job at a ski resort （旅游胜地） once you have finished your training.

Go diving in Spain

For a European holiday with a difference， take part in a plastic cleanup project based in Barcelona， help to empty plastic waste in the Mediterranean Sea and help protect the environment as you travel. This volunteer project combines diving with collecting plastic or other waste from the water， alongside giving you the chance to explore the city.

Explore Tuscany on horseback

Tuscany， one of the best places in Europe to explore on horseback， has had a sharp increase in travelers. There are various activities that combine sightseeing with basic horse riding lessons and you can stay in Renaissance villas （别墅） and farmhouses. You don’t need to have any experience for horse riding holidays， and they are a brilliant option to your typical guided tour.

21. What can you do in Transylvania？

A student-led push to get solar panels installed （安装） at a middle school in Tacoma is receiving national recognition from a clean energy non-profit organization called Generation 180. The girls involved are advocating （倡导） and fundraising for the project.

Sammy Firkins， Gwen Newport and Annie Son will talk about their idea to generate solar electricity at Jason Lee Middle School in a panel discussion organized by Generation 180. In 2019， the three of them teamed up with their science teacher， Kathy Hall， to push for solar panels to be installed. Hall， who uses solar power at her own house， said it’s long been a dream of hers. The school would be the first in the Tacoma district to use solar energy.

The girls presented their idea to Gov. Jay Inslee’s STEM Education Innovation Alliance meeting in early 2019 and received enthusiastic support. They then spoke to the Tacoma school board and obtained buy-in from the district， though they were told the district did not have the roughly $200，000 for the 277 solar panels and that they would have to fundraise. They’ve since raised more than half that amount through grants （拨款） and individual donations.

Gwen Newport says she’s always cared a lot about environmental issues and that she’s troubled that climate change does not get the attention it deserves. “At this point， I feel like it’s kind of been given to my generation almost as our responsibility now and so being able to be a part of this project and take action is really important to me，” she says.

The solar panels have not been installed at the school yet. But Hall says she estimates that the project will reduce the school’s power costs by about $14，000 a year， and that it also will serve an educational purpose. “We will have live data always streaming available so that people can see how the panels are working and how they relate to the amount of electricity we’re using， and it will be an incredible learning tool，” she says.

24. What is Generation 180？

A. A research team. B. A student-led push.

C. An environmental group. D. An environment project.

25. What can we learn from Paragraph 3？

A. The girls raised enough money for the project.

B. The Tacoma school board rejected the project.

C. The district covered the costs of solar panels.

D. The girls made great efforts to fulfill the project.

26. How does Gwen Newport feel about climate change？

A. Confident. B. Concerned. C. Relieved. D. Content.

27. What is the girls’ main purpose to start the project？

A. To advocate for donations. B. To serve as a learning tool.

C. To protect the environment. D. To cut down the school’s expenses.

C

Elon Musk has offered a prize of $100 m for the best carbon capture proposal （建议）. I can save his committee a lot of time. The money should go to Peter Wohlleben， whose book The Hidden Life of Trees was the most encouraging blockbuster of 2015. Wohlleben’s idea is this： do nothing about trees. Stop fiddling （乱作为） with them， thinking that we can deal with climate change better than nature. If we fiddle， our Romes will burn.

The Hidden Life of Trees argued that trees are social. It shows that they can be our saviours. Of course， there are things we could and should be doing， but in terms of forestry practice， often what’s billed as part of the solution is part of the problem.

Anyone who has planted a tree in their garden knows that it has a far-reaching effect—it makes your garden cooler in summer and warmer in winter. Forests cool by transpiring （蒸发）. If there’s no water， there’s no cooling. Drought can kill trees fast， but trees have many ways of dealing with it， and Wohlleben sets them out. As a species， we have survived many climatic changes by changing our behavior—and that’s how trees survive， too. Trees learn from their past harms and produce younger ones programmed with those lessons. Mother trees regulate their children’s growth by changing the rate at which they drip-feed them with sugar solution through root networks.

Deciduous （落叶的） forests in particular remove greenhouse gases effectively as long as they live. Cut them down and burn them and you’re releasing carbon dioxide not just from the wood， but also from the forest floor. Deciduous trees are not “harvest-ready” at 200 years： They are teenagers. We must interrogate comforting expressions such as “renewable energy”， and learn the real cost of our toilet paper.

If we don’t learn to do nothing about trees， they will eventually be alone anyway—but without us. Wohlleben brilliantly and readably shows us how urgent and how hard it is to do nothing.

28. What does Wohlleben suggest for carbon capture？

A. Planting more trees. B. Leaving trees alone.

C. Changing forestry species. D. Protecting trees from droughts.

29. How do trees survive the drought？

A. They slow their growth. B. They lose their leaves.

C. They stop absorbing water. D. They get help from humans.

30. What does the underlined word “interrogate” in Paragraph 4 mean？

A. Understand. B. Question. C. Translate. D. Accept.

31. What is the text？

A. A book review. B. A science report.

C. An introduction to a writer. D. A proposal for a reward.

D

The connection between people and plants has long been the subject of scientific research. Recent studies have found positive effects. A study conducted in Youngstown， Ohio， for example， discovered that greener areas of the city experienced less crime. In another， employees were shown to be 15% more productive when their workplaces were decorated with houseplants.

The engineers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology （MIT） have taken it a step further—changing the actual composition （构成） of plants in order to get them to perform diverse， even unusual functions. These include plants that have sensors printed onto their leaves to show when they’re short of water and a plant that can detect harmful chemicals in groundwater. “We’re thinking about how we can engineer plants to replace functions of the things that we use every day，” explained Michael Strano， a professor of chemical engineering at MIT.

One of his latest projects has been to make plants glow （发光） in experiments using some common vegetables. Strano’s team found that they could create a faint light for three and a half hours. The light， about one-thousandth of the amount needed to read by， is just a start. The technology， Strano said， could one day be used to light the rooms or even to turn trees into self-powered street lamps.

In the future， the team hopes to develop a version of the technology that can be sprayed （喷洒） onto plant leaves in a one-off treatment that would last the plant’s lifetime. The engineers are also trying to develop an on-and-off “switch” where the glow would fade when exposed to daylight.

Lighting accounts for about 7% of the total electricity consumed in the US. Since lighting is often far removed from the power source—such as the distance from a power plant to street lamps on a remote highway—a lot of energy is lost during transmission （传输）. Glowing plants could reduce this distance and therefore help save energy.

32. What is Paragraph 1 mainly about？

A. A new study of different plants. B. A big fall in crime rates.

C. Connections between people and plants. D. Benefits from green plants.

33. What is the function of the sensors printed on plant leaves by MIT engineers？

A. To detect plants’ lack of water. B. To test chemicals in plants.

C. To make the life of plants longer. D. To change compositions of plants.

34. What are the glowing plants expected to do in the future？

A. Speed up energy production. B. Transmit electricity to the home.

C. Help reduce energy consumption. D. Take the place of power plants.

35. What can be the best title for the text？

A. Can We Grow More Glowing Plants？ B. How Do We Live with Glowing Plants？

C. Could Glowing Plants Replace Lamps？ D. How Are Glowing Plants Made Pollution-free？

If anyone had told me three years ago that I would be spending most of my weekends camping， I would have laughed heartily. Campers， in my eyes， were people who enjoyed insect bites， ill-cooked meals， and uncomfortable sleeping bags. They had nothing in common with me. 36

The friends who introduced me to camping thought that it meant to be a pioneer. 37 We slept in a tent， cooked over an open fire， and walked a long distance to take the shower and use the bathroom. This brief visit with Mother Nature cost me two days off from work， recovering from a bad case of sunburn and the doctor’s bill for my son’s food poisoning.

I was， nevertheless， talked into going on another fun-filled holiday in the wilderness. 38 Instead， we had a pop-up camper with comfortable beds and an air conditioner. My nature-loving friends had remembered to bring all the necessities of life.

39 We have done a lot of it since. Recently， we bought a twenty-eight-foot travel trailer complete with a bathroom and a built-in TV set. There is a separate bedroom， a modern kitchen with a refrigerator. The trailer even has matching carpet and curtains.

40 It must be true that sooner or later， everyone finds his or her way back to nature. I recommend that you find your way in style.

A. This time there was no tent.

B. Things are going to be improved.

C. The trip they took me on was a rough one.

D. I wasn’t particularly interested in it at first.

E. I was to learn a lot about camping since then， however.

F. I must say that I have certainly come to enjoy camping.

G. After the trip， my family became quite interested in camping.

Imagine an area 34 times the size of Manhattan. Now imagine it being covered in ankle-deep plastic waste. That’s a total of about 19 billion pounds of 41 . And according to the estimates available， that’s how much plastic waste 42 in our oceans every year.

“We’re being 43 by our waste，” said Jenna Jambeck， a（n） 44 engineer who led the 2015 study that announced this shocking number. According to Jambeck’s r023016bfb2ecd8fe5f3dfdfd16cd6dfeed92d1c7094ebdad4db28bdac59c8c16esearch， this 45 will double by 2025 unless something is done， 46 and on a global scale， to stop the tide of garbage.

Plastic has in many ways been helpful to us， used in all walks of 47 from medical equipment to parts of airplanes. But some of the very traits （特性） that have made plastics so popular also made them a 48 problem in our landfills and oceans. Ocean Conservancy， a non-profit environmental group that organizes a yearly 49 cleanup event in more than 150 countries worldwide， says plastic pieces 50 around 85 percent of all the garbage collected from beaches， waterways and oceans and that’s just th5a4b12e7027e6e0e4e767f90377adef87f8b77a399287346411bf0493f906c84e stuff we can 51 .

Ocean Conservancy says plastics are believed to 52 at least 600 different wildlife 53 . One in three leatherback turtles， which often 54 plastic bags for jellyfish， have been found with plastic in their bellies. In 2017， a 55 whale beached on Norway’s coast had 30 plastic bags in its 56 . 90 percent of seabirds are now eating 57 on a regular basis. By 2050， that figure is expected to rise to 100 percent.

And it’s not 58 wildlife that’s threatened by the plastics in our seas. A growing body of evidence 59 that humans are consuming plastics through the seafood we eat.

With this in mind， experts say that all of us have a（n） 60 role to play in relieving the issue in ways both big and small.

Yesterday， when I complained with my mom about too little entertainment， she shares the story of her youth with me. In the 1980s， neither iPads nor smartphones were invented. Each time when evenings approached， the children around would crowd into the only house that there was a television. We stared at the small screen until the program ended. Parent would make every effort to drag their children to bed when it was getting lately. But now， iPads and smartphones have taken place of televisions.
