Theres one wildflower bloom every 5.3 years on average, and a superbloom on average once every 11.2 years.WHERE TO GO: Death Vall

24、ever strikes twice? The odds are more generous over the mouth of the Catatumbo River at Lake Maracaibo, Venezuela, which hosts lighting storms for up to 297 nights a year, thanks to its unique geographical location. “Watching the Catatumbo lightning is an experience you will get nowhere else,” says
25、Jonas Piontek, a German photographer who has travelled there twice to capture the storms. “You are basically isolated from everyone no network, no Internet, no real civilization around. Its just you and nature, and one of the best shows on Earth.”WHERE TO GO: Catatumbo Camp, VenezuelaWHEN TO GO: Oct

27、umbo Camp D. Death Valley National ParkBIf every public interaction were filmed, would the world be a better place? Common sense suggests it would, and to some extent, we already live in such a world, with closed-circuit television cameras everywhere and smart phones in every pocket.However, the rou
28、tine filming of everyday life is about to go to the next level. A number of countries are rolling out body cams for police officers and other public-facing agencies such as school.4Private citizens are getting in on the act too: cyclists increasingly wear headcams as an insurance against aggressive
29、drivers. As camera technology gets smaller and cheaper, it isnt hard to foresee a future where were all filming everything all the time, in every direction. Would that be a good thing?The available evidence suggests that it discourages behavior such as police brutality. Another upside is that it wou
30、ld be harder to get away with crimes or to escape blame for accidents. But a world on camera could have subtle negative effects. The flood of data we pour into the hands of Google, Facebook and others has already proved a mixed blessing. Those companies would no doubt be willing to upload and store
31、our body-cam data for free, probably with the assistance of machine learning algorithms(算法)-but at what cost to privacy and freedom of choice? Body-cam data could also create a legal mine field. Disputes over the validity and interpretation of police footage(执法镜头)have already surfaced. Eventually, e
32、vents not caught on camera could be treated as if they didnt happen, like a tree falling in the forest. Alternatively, footage could be faked or doctored to escape blame or incriminate others.Of course, theres always the argument that if youre not doing anything wrong, you have nothing to fear. But
33、most people have done something embarrassing, or even illegal, that they regret and would prefer hadnt been caught on film. People already inspect their social media feeds-or avoid doing anything inadequate in public-for fear of damaging their reputation. Would widespread application of body cams ha
34、ve a further frightening effect on our freedom? The always-on-camera world could even threaten some of the natures that make us human. We are natural gossips and backbiters, and while those might not be desirable behavior, they oil the wheels of our social interactions. Once people assume they are b
35、eing filmed, they are likely to shut up. We are nowhere near that point yet where everyone will feel they need one as an insurance policy, but we should think hard about whether we really want to say lights, body cam, action.58. What is the benefit of filming to average people?A. Promoting the wides
36、pread use of smart phones in public.B. Fighting crimes or bad behavior by providing solid evidence.C. Guaranteeing cyclists and pedestrians more safety on roads.D. Encouraging better performance of the police and teaching staff.59. In the authors view, the data flooding into tech giants is fairly _.
37、A. comforting B. puzzling C. worrying D. satisfying60. Certain undesirable behavior is important because if _.A. functions as an insurance policy B. warns us not to be caught on film5C. prevents inadequate social behavior D. motivates human daily communicationCA so-called “smart drug” intended to im
38、prove cognitive（认知的）performance also seems to protect the brain from altitude sickness.Even more people are visiting high-altitude sites for work, sport, religious pilgrimages and military can lead to cognitive effects, including memory loss and attention difficulties.Theres little you can do to pre
39、vent these symptoms other than acclimatizebut this takes time and doesnt always work. A drug called oxiracetam might be the answer.ShengLi Hu at the Third Military Medical University, Chongqing, China and her colleagues studied the performance of male military personnel at altitude. All lived in tow
40、ns around 1800 meters above sea level. During the study, they spent eight days at this altitude and then climbed for three days to reach 4000 meters, where they stayed for up to a month.Twenty participants took oxriacetam three times a day for the first 15 days of the study, while another 20 receive
41、d no intervention. The man did tests of attention and memory at the start and end of the study and 20 days in, by which time they had been at 4000 meters for nine days.While all the participants experienced a drop in cognitive ability at 4000 meters, those who took oxiracetam showed a much smaller d
42、ecline than the control group.Blood flow measurements indicated that at high altitude, parts of the brains cerebral circulatory system contracted and dilated（扩张）in a way that promoted blood flow to the brain stem. This isnt surprising, since the brain stem plays a critical role in the maintenance of
43、 basic vital signs.The team also found that the brain stem received blood at the expense of areas responsible for more advanced cognitive functions. But in people who took oxiracetam, more arteries dilated, so blood flow throughout the brain rose. This may be how the drug seems to lessen cognitive p
44、roblems liked with low oxygen.It isnt yet known whether diverting blood in this way could have negative effects in the long run.“The results are striking and imply that oxiracetam may be beneficial for helping to relieve cognitive deficits caused by altitude,” says Timothy Hales at the University of
45、 Dundee, UK.Oxiracetam is not licensed for medical use globally, but it is known to be a mild stimulant, says Hales. “Coca leaves have been used by native Andeans for centuries to overcome altitude sickness and this is attributed to their modest cocaine content. So perhaps it is not surprising that
46、benefit can be derived from another, though mild, stimulant.”61. The underlined word “acclimatize” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to _. A. adapt B. interact C. exist D. object62. What does the experiment done in China reveal?A. The higher altitude you are at, the slower your brain will be.6B.
47、At 4000 meters, the two subject groups show no difference.C. Memory tests are beneficial to relieving attention difficulties.D. “Smart drug” largely counters negative effects of altitude sickness.63. According to the passage, the root cause of the cognitive effects lies in _.A. physical tiredness B.
48、 low oxygen contentC. cognitive training D. extreme high altitude64. What is the best title for the passage?A. Fight high anxiety B. Oxiacetama magic drugC. Keep sharp at altitude D. Problems on high-altitude sitesDIf you read The Fault in our stars only to find a young adult romance of Hazel Grace
49、and Augustus Waters, then you definitely underestimate the power of sophisticated symbolism, emotions, and literature John Green offers. I remember someone saying “You dont read a great book; it reads you.” The fault in our stars is one of those books. It gives you the concept of what cancers are like, of how childre
