題
Imagine flying through
treetops all day, then sleeping in a bed high above the jungle floor. As you
awaken at first light the next morning, the calls of gibbons echo through the
trees. It may sound like a fantasy, but in Laos’s Nam Kan National Park, it’s
absolutely possible. Tourists here can realize the dream of living in a
treehouse thanks to the Gibbon Experience.
The Gibbon Experience
boasts eight of the highest treehouses in the world. However, they’re all only
reachable by zip line, where you speed over valleys while hanging by a rope.
Customers are taken up to the equipment camp by truck from the Gibbon
Experience office in the town of Ban Houayxay. From there, they set off with
two guides on an adventure through jungle trails, zip-lining and hiking through
the green forests. The network of zip lines reaches 15 kilometers, with the
longest line being about 600 meters. Adventurers can stay for one or two nights
in the treehouses and enjoy freshly prepared Lao-style food delivered from
neighboring villages.
This experience isn’t
only for fun; it was born of a desire to save the forests. The Gibbon
Experience began as a way to gain funding for protecting the area from damaging
practices, like logging and commercial cropping. The first treehouses and zip
lines were opened in 2004, and the Lao National Assembly designated the area as a national park in 2008. Thanks to
these efforts, the area’s black-crested gibbons, which are critically
endangered, have a better chance of protection.
If you find yourself in
Laos, give the Gibbon Experience a shot. You’ll not only have the adventure of
a lifetime, but also help save the country’s amazing forests.

to protect the forest.
(B) To bring more
commercial industries to the area.

to an existing national park.

題
New Year’s Eve is a day
for celebration no matter where in the world you are. Everyone is familiar with
the tradition of counting down the seconds at midnight and popping champagne at
the start of the new year. There are many other ways to celebrate, though,
depending on where you are. Often, people mark the changing of the year by
eating certain foods.
In Spain, the New Year’s
Eve food of choice is grapes. Twelve are eaten, one for each time the bells
ring at midnight. The habit began in a year when Spanish grape growers had a
very good crop. In Japan, the usual meal is long buckwheat soba noodles. The
noodles’ length represents a long life and prosperity. Italians eat a dish of
beans and sausage, also said
to be a sign of good luck and fortune. Tamales are eaten in Mexico
while “Hoppin’ John,” a bowl of pork, vegetables, and rice, is common in the
southern US. The green vegetables in Hoppin’ John are meant to symbolize
American money.
Aside from the dishes
above, many countries serve sweets for New Year’s Eve. Oliebollen, from the
Netherlands, are balls of fried dough with fruit and powdered sugar. Austria
and Germany both decorate their tables with Marzipanschwein. These are small
pig- shaped candies made from marzipan, which is a mixture of sugar, honey, and
almonds. In many other places, including France, cakes are traditional, with a
twist: a gold coin or small statue of a king is baked into the cake. Whoever
finds the prize is predicted to have a good year ahead of them. In Denmark and
Norway, something bigger is hidden in New Year’s cakes. Inside is a full-size
bottle of wine. Although people in different countries have their own
traditions, they all seem to wish for the same thing: a bright future!
A 37. What does this article mostly describe?
(A) Ways in which food
is part of people’s wishes for a good year.
(B) Cake traditions in
several European countries.
(C) Popular places for
counting down on New Year’s Eve.
(D) Differences between
Eastern and Western New Year traditions.
C 38. Why did the Spanish start eating grapes on New Year’s Eve?
(A) The grapes stand for
the 12 months of the new year.
(B) The grapes stand for
12 famous Spanish kings.
(C) The grapes were
grown in very large numbers one year.
(D) The grapes were once
made illegal in Spain.
B 39. How are soba noodles and Hoppin’ John similar?
(A) They are both made
using buckwheat.
(B) They both mean great
wealth.
(C) Their ingredients
are both hard to find.
(D) They are both eaten
in Asian countries.
B 40. According to the article, both Austrians and Germans .
(A) eat balls of fried
dough
(B) make their tables
look nicer with sweets
(C) serve cakes with
something special inside them
(D) have traditions to
do with long life
D 41. What does the article imply about New Year’s cakes in
Denmark and Norway?
(A) They are mostly made
with honey and almonds.
(B) They are decorated
with powdered sugar.
(C) They are similar to
Oliebollen from the Netherlands.
(D) They have to be made
larger than most cakes.
