Four of the Best Botanic Gardens and Experiences in San Diego
San Diego Botanic Garden
With nearly four miles of tacks stretching over 37 acres, you can wander among plants and environments from desert to tropical forest and everywhere in between at the San Diego Botanic Garden. Twenty-nine different gardens flower with more than 5,000 species of trees and bamboos from around the world. Adults $12; students, seniors, military $10; kids 6 & under free.
Torrey Pines State Natural Reserve
One of the loveliest stretches of coast in San Diego, this area is also just one of two places that are the native home to Torrey pine trees (托里松). The other is Santa Rosa Island, in the Channel Islands off Santa Barbara. These trees are believed to be the world’s rarest pine, best seen from the network of short hiking tracks crisscrossing the headland. Adults $18; kids $10.
The Flower Fields at Carlsbad Ranch
For nine weeks beginning on March 1, 50 acres of a hillside in Carlsbad bursts into endless rows of red, violet, yellow, pink, and other colors of Persian buttercups (波斯毛茛). The fantastically photogenic fields are cut across by walking paths and roads for car rides. Bringing food for colorful picnics is encouraged. Adults $18; kids $9.
Edna Harper’s Topiary Garden
Twenty-five years ago, a neighbor’s Cape honeysuckles (好望角金银花) started climbing to Edna Harper’s garden. The artist welcomed the invaders (入侵者) and began shaping them into elephants, dinosaurs, and many other shapes. These impressive pieces of work are only made using plants, an eye for detail, and lots of hard work. Free.

I lost my phone when I was on holiday four months ago. With no phone to use on my way back to Milan, I decided to buy a book at the airport before boarding the plane. There was a discount on Stephen Hawking’s Brief Answers to the Big Questions, and while not necessarily an easy read for the non-reader I was at the time, it touched on some of the subjects I’m most passionate about, so I decided it was worth £5.99. I paid for it. To my great surprise, I read the whole thing on that two-hour return flight and so my love for reading began. I was confused. Before then, I used to buy books fairly often, loping I’d read them, knowing months would go by and I wouldn’t even open them. So I wondered. What was different this time? After carefully analyzing the situation, I came up with an explanation.
Now I realize, most books on my reading list as a child came from one of three places: suggested books, school books, and “to read before you die” books. As a kid, I didn’t have much experience when it came to books or reading. So when I decided to pick up a book, I thought these were the ones I should read and I believed I would surely enjoy them. Then I ended up thinking of myself as someone that simply didn’t like reading.
It is obvious, in hindsight (在事后看来), that I actually really enjoyed reading. The few times I got to skim through a book that felt right, I would devour (如饥似渴地) the whole thing in a matter of hours.
Many people approach reading the wrong way, so they ultimately end up disliking it the way I did. Keep on reading books you don’t like, and you’ll eventually convince yourself it is reading you don’t like. So just make sure, you are reading books that touch on subjects you are actually passionate about—don’t be scared to create your unique bookshelf.
4. What surprised the author?
A. He lost his phone. B. The book was very cheap.
C. The book was easy to read. D. He finished reading the book.
5. What does the author plan to do in paragraph 2?
A. Explore ways to create a reading list. B. Introduce his special taste in books.
C. Explain why he used to be a non-reader. D. Analyze how children’s books are classified.
6. What books does the author advise people to read?
A. Those that attract their interest. B. Those that enrich their knowledge.
C. Those that are popular among readers. D. Those that are written by best-selling authors.
7. Where is this text probably taken from?
A. A travel guide. B. A magazine. C. A book review. D. A news report.
【答案】4. D 5. C 6. A 7. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章通过事例说明了什么是正确的读书方式。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“To my great surprise, I read the whole thing on that two-hour return flight and so my love for reading began. (令我惊讶的是，我在两个小时的返程航班上读完了整本书，从此我对阅读的热爱开始了。)”可知，让作者感到惊讶的是他读完了这本书。故选D项。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“As a kid, I didn’t have much experience when it came to books or reading. So when I decided to pick up a book, I thought these were the ones I should read and I believed I would surely enjoy them. Then I ended up thinking of myself as someone that simply didn’t like reading. (作为一个孩子，我在看书或阅读方面没有太多经验。所以，当我决定拿起一本书时，我本以为这是我应该读的书，我相信我一定会喜欢。然后我最终认为自己是一个根本不喜欢读书的人。)”等内容可知，作者打算解释他过去不喜欢读书的原因。故选C项。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“So just make sure, you are reading books that touch on subjects you are actually passionate about—don’t be scared to create your unique bookshelf. (所以，要确保你读的是与你真正感兴趣的主题有关的书——不要害怕创建你独特的书架。)”可知，作者建议人们读那些能引起兴趣的书。故选A项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文，尤其根据最后一段“Many people approach reading the wrong way, so they ultimately end up disliking it the way I did. Keep on reading books you don’t like, and you’ll eventually convince yourself it is reading you don’t like. So just make sure, you are reading books that touch on subjects you are actually passionate about—don’t be scared to create your unique bookshelf. (很多人的阅读方式不对，所以他们最终像我一样不喜欢阅读。持续读你不喜欢的书，最终你会使自己相信，自己就是不喜欢读书。所以，要确保你读的书是与你真正感兴趣的主题有关的书——不要害怕创建你独特的书架。)”可知，本文通过事例说明了什么是正确的读书方式。从而推知，本文和旅游指南、书评或新闻报道无关，应该来自一本杂志。故选B项。
C
During the last twenty years there has been increasing concern with the quality of the environment. Along with air and water pollutants, noise pollution has been considered as a serious pollutant. As noise levels have risen, the effects of noise have become more obvious.
Noise is described as “unwanted sound”. Causes of noise pollution include traffic, aircraft, rock bands, barking dogs, television, garbage trucks, and noise from neighbors, voices, alarms, and boats. Studies show that over forty percent of Americans are disturbed at home or lose sleep because of noise pollution.
Noise has bad effects on people and the environment. Noise causes hearing loss, interferes (干扰) with human activities at home and work, and is in various ways dangerous to people’s health and well-being.
When we think, talk, listen to music, or sleep, we need quiet. Even low levels of noise can be annoying or frustrating. Sudden increases in volume can make sounds annoying. The quieter the background is, the more penetrating a noise can be.
Noise can also make instructions or warning unclear, resulting in accidents. Louder noise bursts can cause more problems. Continued stress caused by living in noisy conditions can lead to high blood pressure, which is the major cause of some diseases.
Long exposure to noise levels above eighty-five decibels (分贝) can damage inner ear cells and lead to hearing loss. Noise can result in the uncontrolled fear response and can cause adrenaline (肾上腺素) to be pumped into the bloodstream, the heart rate to quicken, muscles to tense, breathing to go up, and the digestive system to slow down.
Local government has the responsibility to fight noise pollution. For example, it can regulate the speed of trains through their community. On the other hand, a responsible citizen will never make noise pollution wherever he is.
8. What does the underlined word “penetrating” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A. High and exciting. B. Deep and shocking
C. Loud and unpleasant. D. Clear and comfortable.
9. Which of the following is related to noise pollution?
A. Fast digestive system. B. Low blood pressure.
C. Slow heart rate. D. Fast breathing.
10. In the last para graph, the author suggests that ________.
A. people who make noise pollution should be punished
B. the government should be responsible for fighting noise pollution
C. the government should offer its people better education on noise pollution
D. people and the government should work together to reduce noise pollution
11. What is the text mainly about?
A. Measurement of noise levels. B. Bad effects of noise pollution.
C. Hearing damage from environmental noise. D. Community reactions to noise.
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. D 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要讲述噪音污染带来的负面影响，并呼吁政府和人们各尽其责，共同努力，减少噪音污染。
【8题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段“The quieter the background is, the more penetrating a noise can be.”(背景越安静，噪音就越penetrating。)可知，penetrating是形容词，描述背景安静的情况下，噪音的情况，根据常识，背景越安静，噪音就会显得越大声且不悦耳，所以penetrating的意思应该是“大声且不悦耳”，和选项C意思一致。故选C。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第六段“Noise can result in the uncontrolled fear response and can cause adrenaline (肾上腺素) to be pumped into the bloodstream, the heart rate to quicken, muscles to tense, breathing to go up, and the digestive system to slow down.”(噪音会导致不受控制的恐惧反应，并导致肾上腺素被泵入血液，心跳加快，肌肉紧张，呼吸加快，消化系统下降。)可知，噪音会导致呼吸加快。故选D。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Local government has the responsibility to fight noise pollution. For example, it can regulate the speed of trains through their community. On the other hand, a responsible citizen will never make noise pollution wherever he is.”(地方政府有责任治理噪音污染。例如，它可以调节通过社区的列车速度。另一方面，一个负责任的公民无论在哪里都不会制造噪音污染。)可知，地方政府和每一个公民都应该为减少噪音做出努力。故选D。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Along with air and water pollutants, noise pollution has been considered as a serious pollutant. As noise levels have risen, the effects of noise have become more obvious.”(噪声污染与空气和水污染物一起被认为是一种严重的污染物。随着噪声水平的提高，噪声的影响也变得更加明显。)可知，这篇文章主要讲述噪音污染带来的负面影响。故选B。
D
Minutes can make a difference when a life is on the line. The American Red Cross has begun offering free training and certification (合格证书) so high school students can act fast in medical emergencies.
Traumatic injuries (创伤性损伤) are the leading cause of death in Americans younger than 45. “What we are trying to do is take lessons that we learned from the battlefield — people with life-threatening injuries might have a much better chance of surviving if they can have immediate treatment,” said Craig Goolsby, a professor of Military Emergency Medicine at the Uniformed Services University. “If people can stop bleeding, particularly bleeding from arms and legs, we have a lot better chance of saving the lives of those people once they reach the hospital,” he said.
First Aid for Severe Trauma (FAST) training is available to teach high school students how to talk to each other effectively during an emergency, how to make sure that the scene is safe so additional people don’t get hurt and how to stop bleeding with a tourniquet (止血带) or direct pressure. “Just some of those really basic things that can be lifesaving before an ambulance arrives,” Goolsby said.
“My team has done a series of research studies over the past several years looking at the public’s ability to apply tourniquets or apply direct pressure. We’ve found that even very brief education, like 15 minutes of education, can have a great effect on how people will react,” Goolsby added. “They start out at a lower level of likelihood of response, get the training, and then all of a sudden, they’re more likely to respond.”
Goolsby noted that in many emergencies, average people on the street jumped in to help people who were injured. “Giving the public these tools and the courage to say ‘I can do this.’ is really important. The FAST program does that. And so we’re excited to be able to empower this next generation of Americans to take those steps,” he said.
12. What did Craig Goolsby learn from the battlefield?
A. The difficulty of surviving. B. The types of traumatic injuries.
C. The importance of immediate treatment. D. The lifesaving measures taken by medical staff.
13. Which of the following is included in the FAST training?
A. How to move the injured to a safe place. B. How to help the injured deal with pressure.
C. How to communicate effectively in emergencies. D. How to make tourniquets using materials on hand.
14. What can we infer from paragraph 4?
A. Most people have little first aid experience.
B. Educated people are more likely to offer help.
C. Most people find it difficult to apply direct pressure.
D. People tend to help others willingly after the training.
15. What was Craig Goolsby’s attitude toward the FAST program?
A. Doubtful. B. Positive. C. Worried. D. Critical.
【答案】12. C 13. C 14. D 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。当一条生命危在旦夕时，几分钟就能改变一切。美国红十字会已经开始提供免费的培训和认证，这样高中生就可以在医疗紧急情况下迅速采取行动。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Traumatic injuries (创伤性损伤) are the leading cause of death in Americans younger than 45. “What we are trying to do is take lessons that we learned from the battlefield — people with life-threatening injuries might have a much better chance of surviving if they can have immediate treatment,” said Craig Goolsby, a professor of Military Emergency Medicine at the Uniformed Services University. “If people can stop bleeding, particularly bleeding from arms and legs, we have a lot better chance of saving the lives of those people once they reach the hospital,” he said.”（创伤是45岁以下美国人死亡的主要原因。“我们正在努力做的是吸取我们从战场上学到的经验教训——如果他们能立即得到治疗，那些有生命危险的人可能会有更好的生存机会，”美国统一军种大学军事急救医学教授克雷格·古尔斯比说。）克雷格·古斯比从战场上学到了立即治疗的重要性。故选C。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“First Aid for Severe Trauma (FAST) training is available to teach high school students how to talk to each other effectively during an emergency, how to make sure that the scene is safe so additional people don’t get hurt and how to stop bleeding with a tourniquet (止血带) or direct pressure. ”（严重创伤急救(FAST)培训可以教高中生如何在紧急情况下有效地相互交谈，如何确保现场是安全的，以免有更多的人受伤，以及如何用止血带或直接压止血。）可知，如何在紧急情况下有效沟通。被包括在FAST培训中。故选C。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“‘They start out at a lower level of likelihood of response, get the training, and then all of a sudden, they’re more likely to respond.’”（“他们一开始反应的可能性较低，经过训练后，突然之间，他们反应的可能性更大了。”）可知，经过培训后，人们往往愿意帮助别人。故选D。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“‘Giving the public these tools and the courage to say ‘I can do this.’ is really important. The FAST program does that. And so we’re excited to be able to empower this next generation of Americans to take those steps,’ he said.”（“给公众这些工具和勇气说，‘我能做到。’真的很重要。FAST程序做到了这一点。因此，我们很高兴能够帮助下一代美国人采取这些步骤。”）Craig Goolsby对FAST项目的态度是积极的。故选B。

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Ever since the beginning of artificial intelligence (AI), people have feared that it will one day take over the world. ____16____ After all, the BBC estimates that up to 20 million factory jobs will be replaced with machines by 2030, and Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) found that in Europe, 1,000 people’s jobs had been replaced by just one robot.
However, the truth is that AI is not taking over our society. While AI may be able to take over some jobs in different industries, it cannot completely replace people. ____17____
AI cannot feel emotions. While AI may be able to deal with issues in a humanlike way, it is not able to feel emotions like sympathy (同情) or understanding. ____18____
AI cannot invent something new. It can follow a set of guidelines and rules while simulating humanoid intelligence, but it cannot really create something. ____19____ But the way that AI creates poetry is by adding existing poems to its database and then trying to write lines that match the poem’s style.
____20____ The importance of human contact can be seen through numbers. According to Forbes, 55% of customers prefer speaking to a human rather than a robot and 73% press “0” and speak with an operator when faced with a phone tree, which is a type of robocall where you press numbers to reach different services.
All in all, AI will not replace us in the future and will always need people to continue to function.
A. There is AI that can write poems.
B. AI cannot provide human contact.
C. It may seem like AI is taking over.
D. AI cannot learn the way that a person does.
E. The ability to talk to a person with a brain is important in a society.
F. This means that jobs requiring emotions are still best done by humans instead of AI.
G. This is because AI lacks several qualities humans have that are necessary in some parts of the workforce.
