11．For some of us who long to travel，it can be difficult to find someone to journey with．Friends and family members are tied down in jobs，struggling to save money，and don't always want to go to the same places．The solution，of course，is to go it alone．
Melbourne，Australia
Melbourne is a hot-spot travel destination，which has beautiful beaches as well as busy and lively city life．Australia as a whole is considered a safe destination for international travel，and because of that，many solo （单独）travelers go there．Melbourne is incredibly easy to get around because you can walk or bike practically anywhere!
Thailand
Thailand is great for solo travelers - perhaps because it is one of the Buddhist mentality，which promotes equality among the sexes．Thailand is known for its friendly hospitality，and as a travel hot-spot，there are plenty of chances to meet other like-minded travelers．Overall known for being very cheap，especially in the north，it's a good choice if you want to get away on a budget．
Bhutan
Bhutan is one of the most cultural countries in the world．It is also home to the world's highest unclimbed peak，Gangkhar Puensum．The mountain is sacred （神圣的）and entry is only possible on a pre-booked tour，where you are accompanied around by your own personal guide．Plastic bags have been banned in Bhutan since 1999 and in 2004，it became the first country in the world to outlaw tobacco．
Costa Rica
Costa Rica is a great place if you're looking for adventure，with surfing，volcanoes and other recreational activities．You'll never get a chance to feel lonely because there's an abundance of exciting adventures to experience!Costa Rica has never seen political unrest；class struggles or revolutions commonly associated with other Latin American Countries．What's more，it doesn't have or need an army because it's such a peaceful country．

12．Once it was aired on the Chinese online video platform，the Longest Day in Chang'an，a high-quality detective thriller web series，became an audience favourite.Set in Chang'an，China's ancient imperial capital and the world's most magnificent metropolis （大都市） during the Tang Dynasty，the 48-episode series revolves around how detective-turned-prisoner Zhang Xiaojing and Li Bi，head of Chang'an's anti-terror department，teamed up to stop a terrorist attack on the eve of the Lantern Festival.The events in the drama series take place within a span of 24 hours.
Shot in the ancient Chinese city of Xi'an in Shaanxi Province，this popular TV drama has made the city a tourist hot spot.Thousands of tourists have been flooding into this city to experience the magnificence and glory of its scenic spots that have been portrayed in a fascinating manner in the TV serial. "In the first week of this month，online enquiries about flight ticket bookings to Xi'an recorded a 130-percent year-on-year peak，" said Ctrip，China's largest online travel agency.
"Xi'an had been a hot tourist destination long before the TV drama became popular.The serial portrays the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty of Xi'an.This has made the city even more popular.The media exposure makes those sites attractive choices for vacations，" said a senior director at Ctrip.
It's not just Xi'an that is reaping the benefits of exposure via mass media contents.Suzhou，Chongqing and Bayanbulak Grassland have also become go-to destinations for domestic tourists as films such as Pegasus and TV dramas such as All Is Well were set or shot there.This trend of Chinese tourists flooding in places featuring in entertainment is extending to even destinations abroad.Thailand，Japan，the United Kingdom，the Czech Republic and Iceland have shone as tourist destinations among Chinese travelers，especially the younger lot，thanks to films and TV dramas that were shot there，Ctrip found.
Those born in the 1980s account for 32 percent of Chinese travelers.Those born in the 1990s and 2000s make up for 27 percent and 13 percent，respectively，according to Ctrip.
"They are the main viewers of some popular shows.They pay attention to the beautiful scenery as highlighted in entertainment shows.Combined with the impact of top stars in such shows，their fans would like to go on trips to those places.Some even travel while shoots at such places are on，" Ctrip introduced.

13．With his study going，Brian Wisenden might be the envy of the world：watching baby fish swimming freely through the clear waters of tropical dry forest in the Costa Rica.By recording their growth and numbers，he hoped to look at their risks of being eaten.Instead，he witnessed something strange.Many groups were increasing in numbers.In these groups，some were smaller than others，suggesting they weren't siblings.Wisenden had accidentally discovered that the fish，called convict cichlids，adopt each other's babies.Why would they do that，he wondered？
In the human world，we think of adoption as a selfless act.But in nature，its presence is puzzling.Taking on the burden of bringing up babies with no genetic link would seem to reduce an animal's chance of survival or at least provide no gain.Yet，adoption is surprisingly common in the natural world.
Take the eastern grey kangaroo.Between 2008 and 2013，Wisenden followed the fates of 326 baby kangaroos in the Wilsons Promontory National Park in Victoria and recorded 11 cases of pouch （育儿袋） swapping.The circumstances behind some of these adoptions aren't known，but four were straight swaps and another four occurred after a mother had lost her own baby.How come？Before independence，baby kangaroos go through a period inside and outside their mother's pouch.Following out-of-pouch attempts，mothers normally sniff （嗅） their young before allowing them back in，but Wisenden's team suspect that during an emergency they may omit the sniff test，allowing a weak baby to quickly climb in before fleeing from danger.
Some of nature's adoptions are，actually，driven by young.In burrower bugs （土蝽），for example，females lay a nest of eggs close to those of unrelated bugs.Mother bugs tend their developing eggs before they hatch，and then feed their babies nuts from weedy mint plants.Finding nuts is a competitive business，so not every mother bug gets her fair share.And if the delivery rate isn't up to standard，clever young may abandon their mothers to join a better-fed group.
The consequences of adoption following mistaken identity can be horrible.The true babies of adopting mothers were abandoned.But it can have remarkable benefits，not just for adoptees but also for adoptive parents.
（1）What can we learn about Wisenden's research about baby fish？
A．It found a new way to protect forests.
B．It showed a genetic similarity in fish.
C．It put many rare species at risk.
D．It was beyond his expectations.
（2）What does the underlined word "omit" mean in paragraph 3？
A．Repeat.
B．Skip.
C．Follow.
D．Take.
（3）Why would some burrower bugs abandon their mothers？
A．To seek for better parenting.
B．To live in warmer nests.
C．To adapt to competition earlier.
D．To reproduce.
（4）What may the author most probably talk about next？
A．The processes of accidental adoption.
B．The drawbacks of accidental adoption.
C．The advantages of accidental adoption.
D．The causes of accidental adoption.组卷：3引用：4难度：0.7

39．阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
A New Addition to the Family For the initial ten years of his life，Victor was the prince of the household.As he was an only child，his parents petted him and showered all their love and attention on him.Whatever toys his parents bought，they were always meant for him.Whatever food was in the refrigerator，there was no one to compete with him to polish it off first.Victor could leave his toys or books around the house with complete ease of mind，knowing that there was no one who would get their hands on his belongings and cause any damage.
However，all that was to change overnight when Victor's parents brought back his new baby sister，Lina，from the hospital.With her rosy cheeks，wide open eyes and angelic smile，Lina caught the hearts of her parents，grandparents and relatives.Everyone focused their attention on the cute bunch of joy.Whenever she cried，her mother or father would rush to her bed.She simply cried because she wanted to be carried.There was little time left for Victor.
Now that Victor's mother had his baby sister to take care of，she expected Victor himself to do most of the chores he can do.Victor was asked to clean his own room，iron his own school uniform and clean his own shoes.Before Lina's arrival，he had never lifted a finger to help outwith these tasks.The whole family also went out less because it was unhealthy to expose Lina to the bacteria（细菌） being in the outside world too often.
Victor felt neglected by his parents.He felt that they loved Lina more than him.As a result，he tried to attract his parents' attention by becoming resistant.One evening，Victor's parents were called up by his teacher because Victor had got into a fight at school.His teacher had noticed Victor's behaviour and work attitude changing downwards in the past two months.Before that，he had been a model student.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。
Upon hearing the teacher's feedback，Victor's parents got lost in thought.
Victor realized that his parents still cared for him.组卷：19引用：9难度：0.4
