Four Fascinating National Parks in the World

Fiordland National Park

Fiordland National Park on New Zealand’s Southern Island was established in 1952 and is part of the larger Te Wahipounamu wilderness, a UNESCO World Heritage Area. Covering 1.2 million hectares, Fiordland National Park is home to green rain forests, crystal clear lakes and snow-capped mountains. Even on the frequent rainy days, the scenery is spectacular, with entire valley walls turning into thundering waterfalls. Highlight is the amazing Milford Sound with Mitre Peak, rising 1692 metres above sea level and one of the most photographed peaks in the country.

Yosemite National Park

First protected in 1864 and one of the first parks in the National Park Service, California’s Yosemite is a UNESCO World Heritage site. The park’s central feature is Yosemite Valley, which is surrounded by hills, trees and spectacular waterfalls. But the Park is so much more than just a great valley with waterfalls: within Yosemite’s vast wilderness area, you find deep valleys, grand grassland and more than 800 miles of spectacular hikes.

Serengeti National Park

Tanzania’s oldest and most popular National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and was recently proclaimed a 7th worldwide wonder. The Serengeti is famous for its annual Great Migration, a 1, 200-mile odyssey of 1. 5 million wildebeest and 200, 000 zebras, all of them chasing the rains in a race for life. Your chances of watching a kill are pretty high when you visit the area in the right season.

Namib-Naukluft National Park

One of the most thinly populated countries in the world, Namibia is not the right place to get lost. But it is a top destination for those who enjoy unmatched natural scenery and wildlife viewing. Nowhere is this more evident than in the Namib-Naukluft National Park, the largest game park in Africa, including part of the Namib Desert and the Naukluft mountain range.

21．What is Fiordland National Park well-known for?

A．Milford Sound with Mitre Peak. B．Spectacular hikes.

C．Great Migration. D．The longest history.

22．Where is the largest game park in Africa located in?

B．USA．

C．Tanzania.

D．Namibia.

Fifteen years ago, Claybourne Elder was a twentysomething from Utah, standing in the back of a Broadway theatre watching “Putnam County Spelling Bee”, when an act of kindness opened a door to new possibilities.

“This man came up to me and said, ‘Hey, are you from out of town?’And I said, ”Yeah, I’m just here visiting. ‘And the man handed me $200 and said, “You looked like you were having more fun than the people in the expensive seats. Go to buy yourself a ticket to Sweeney Todd tomorrow. It’ll change your life, ‘” Elder said. Elder never got the man’s name — just $200 and a photo.

Elder had never seen Sweeney Todd, so he bought “a great seat”. Starring in that production was the legendary Patti LuPone. “That did not seem real. Patti LuPone. . . she seemed like a person you read about in a book or heard about somewhere, but not someone you saw perform,” Elder said.

He then tried his best to earn a place on the stage. LuPone is now his co-star in the hit musical Company — a turning point of fate that goes back to the stranger who gave him the means to watch one of Broadway’s biggest productions. “It takes that kind of generosity to show you what generosity can be, to turn around and do it again,” Elder said.

Giving back is now a big part of his life. Once a month, he and his 4-year-old son pay fora stranger’s meal at their local diner. Recently, he has started giving away free tickets to his show through social media.

After every performance, Elder takes a picture with the strangers he buys tickets for and hangs the photos in his dressing room. “I hope that it awakens something in them, just like it did in me,” he said. “What I hope happens is that these people are shown some sort of sincere kindness from a stranger and hopefully in turn go out and do something kind for somebody who they don’t know.”

24．How did Elder feel when he saw Patti LuPone perform?

A．Moved and grateful. B．Inspired but worried.

C．Curious but doubtful. D．Surprised and excited.

25．What did Elder do after seeing Sweeney Todd?

A．He took Patti LuPone as his teacher. B．He tried to contact the stranger.

C．He trained hard to become an actor. D．He created Company with Patti LuPone.

26．Why does Elder give free tickets to those strangers?

A．To get personal popularity. B．To take photos with them.

C．To inspire them to do good deeds. D．To help them know more about his show.

27．What is the best title for the text?

A．An Act of Kindness Goes Far B．Hard Work Always Pays Off

C．Luck Falls in an Unexpected Way D．A Good Play Can Change Your Life

Eating ultraprocessed (超加工) foods for more than 20% of your daily calorie intake everyday could set you on the road to cognitive (认知) decline, a new study revealed.

Studies have found they can raise our risk of becoming fat, heart and circulationproblems, diabetes and cancer. They may even shorten our lives.

Now, a new study has revealed eating more ultraprocessed foods may contribute to overall cognitive decline, including the areas of the brain involved in executive functioning-the ability to process information and make decisions.

In fact, men and women who ate the most ultraprocessed foods had a 28% faster rate of global cognitive decline and a 25% faster rate of executive function decline compared with people who ate the least amount of overly processed food, the study found.

“While in need of further study and more experiments, the new results are quite compelling and stress the important role for proper nutrition in preserving and promoting brain health and reducing risk for brain diseases as we get older,” said Rudy Tanzi, professor of neurology at Harvard Medical School and director of the genetics and aging research unit at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston. He was not involved in the study.

Tanzi said the key problem with ultraprocessed foods is that “they are usually very high in sugar, salt and fat, all of which promote systemic inflammation (炎症), perhaps the most major threat to healthy aging in the body and brain.

“Meanwhile, since they are convenient as a quick meal, they also replace eating food that is high in plant fiber that is important for maintaining the health and balance of the trillions of bacteria in your body,” he added, “which is particularly important for brain health and reducing risk of age-related brain diseases.”

“In Brazil, ultraprocessed foods make up 24% to 30% of total calorie intake. We have McDonald’s, Burger King and we eat a lot of chocolate and white bread. It’s not very different, unfortunately, from many other Western countries,” said co-author Dr. ClaudiaSuemoto, an assistant professor in the division of geriatries at the University of Sao PauloMedical School.

28．What is the new finding about eating ultraprocessed foods?

A．It speeds up people’s aging.

B．It makes people gain weight easily.

C．It may reduce people’s cognitive ability.

D．It will certainly cause a lot of brain diseases.

29．What does the underlined word “compelling” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?

A．Attractive.

B．Convincing.

C．Interesting.

D．Doubtful

30．What can we know about Rudy Tanzi?

A．He was in favour of the study.

B．He was the co-author of the study.

C．He graduated from Harvard Medical School.

D．He advises replacing eating food high in plant fiber.

31．What’s Dr. Claudia’s attitude towards calorie intake in Western countries?

A．Doubtful.

B．Worried.

C．Unconcerned.

D．Approving.

In recent years, cotton bags have risen to popularity as an eco-friendly alternative to single-use plastic bags. But the sudden increase in the use of the cotton bag as a basic accessory may actually have created a new problem.

An organic cotton bag needs to be used 20, 000 times to offset (抵消) its overall impact of production on the environment, according to a study by the Ministry of Environment and Food of Denmark. That is equal to daily use for 54 years for just one bag. According to this measure, for Venetia Berry, an artist in London who found she had at least 25 cotton bags in her closet, she would have to live for more than 1, 000 years to offset her current possessions if all her bags were organic.

According to the Circular Laboratory, it requires between 10, 000 and 20, 000 liters of water to produce one kilogram of cotton. And only 15 percent of the 30 million tons of cotton produced every year actually makes its way to textile (纺织品) warehouses. Even when a cotton bag does make it to a treatment plant, most logos printed on them are not recyclable. They’re extremely difficult to break down chemically.

That’s not to say cotton is worse than plastic, or that the two should even be compared. While cotton can use pesticides and has dried up rivers, lightweight plastic bags use fossil fuels that release greenhouse gases, never break down and block the oceans.

Buffy Reid, of the British knitwear label &. Daughter, stopped production of her cotton bags in April 2021. Skincare brand Aesop is changing the composition of their bags to a 60-40 mixture of recycled and organic cotton. Some brands are turning to other textile solutions. The British designer Ally Capellino replaced cotton with hemp (大麻), while Ms. Hindmarch introduced a new version of her original bag, this time made from recycled water bottles. In the end, the simplest solution may be the most obvious; Not every product needs a bag.

32．What do the figures in Paragraph 2 indicate?

A．Cotton bags are not all that perfect.

B．Cotton bags have quite a long service life.

C．Cotton bags are enjoying widespread popularity.

D．Cotton bags require a complex production process.

33．What do we know about cotton bags?

A．They are not recyclable and difficult to break down.

B．Their logos are made from planet-friendly materials.

C．They require high consumption of water resources.

D．Their production generates fossil fuel-related emissions.

34．What is the author’s suggestion?

A．Stopping producing cotton bags.

B．Reducing the use of shopping bags.

C．Replacing cotton with other materials.

D．Changing the composition of cotton bags.

35．What does the text mainly talk about?

A．The cotton bag crisis.

B．The rise of cotton bags.

C．The comparison between cotton and plastic.

D．The production and recycling of cotton bags.

五、七选五

How to Manage Conflict

●Use neutral(中立的)language.

Neutral language keeps the discussion objective and non judgmental. Inflammatory(煽动性的)language only makes the conflict worse.___36___ Rephrase negative statements into neutral comments and ask sincere questions to get your coworker’s side of the story and use a calm, even-tone of voice.

●Reflect on the situation.

Show all parties that you hear and understand their concerns. Often, conflict comes from one party feeling as though they’re not being heard or understood. Take time throughout your conversation to restate what the other person says. ___37___

●Work together to compromise(妥协)and find a solution.

___38___Resolve the conflict by working together and brainstorming solutions to the conflict that addresses everyone’s concerns. Write down your ideas and see if there’s one solution that both of you find fair and reasonable. A good resolution usually involves compromise—meeting half way so that you both leave satisfied.

After finding a solution everyone can agree on, sit down together and figure out what you’ll all do to resolve the conflict. ___39___What other practices might help avoid future conflict and maintain positive communication? Ensure everyone involved cooperates on the win-win solution.

In those cases, ask yourself how much the issue at the core of the conflict matters to you.

A．Is this conflict worth your time and energy?

D．This will help you clarify your understanding of the situation.

F．Cooperation encourages everyone to stop blaming each other.

G．Instead, keep the discussion less emotional by using objective language.

67．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。

Whenever I spread marmalade(橘子酱), I think of my mother. She was a wonderful woman, a five-foot-tall angel. She even befriended a skunk(臭鼬).

One day she was out back picking beans when she turned to see a skunk no more than a yard away. The skunk had a marmalade jar stuck on his nose. Mother took pity on him. Stillon her knees, she inched across the grass, reached out, and turned the jar very carefully. The jar slid off. The skunk nodded a thank-you, then turned and slipped into the woods at the back of the garden. None of spraying(喷)business. Not on my wonderful mother. She told that story over and over. And she always called the skunk Marmalade.

That’s not all. There was the time, maybe three summers later, when I was about twelve. It was a rainy morning. Dad went to work, and Mother went shopping. My friend Rob came over so we could run the electric train in my room. All of a sudden, a scratching sound came from the attic(阁楼).

“Sounds like some kind of animal, ” Rob said. “Yeah. Let’s take a look. ”

Out in the hall, I opened the attic door—very slowly. The noise stopped. I climbed a few steps. My eyes were at floor level. I saw nothing but boxes and trunks and an old dollhouse. I climbed to the top of the stairs with Rob after me.

Silence.

“Let’s look around, ”I said.

I found the animal behind a box near the chimney. You guessed it. Black with a white stripe down its back. Was he scared? You bet. At least that’s how I remember it.

I backed away. Would he spray me? Do skunks bite?

“Hey, Rob. I found him. Let’s go to figure out a plan to get him out of here. ”We climbed down the steps quietly.

“It’s a skunk, ”I said. “It might even be Marmalade. ”“Marmalade?”

I explained. But was this really the same skunk? Would he remember?

注意：

1. 续写词数应为150左右;

2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

“Come on, ”I said. “Let’s go to the kitchen and do an experiment to see what would happen. ”

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Rob and I followed as Marmalade ate his way downstairs, through the kitchen, and out to the back yard.

66．One possible version:

Yuan Longping, known as the “father of hybrid rice”, is one of China’s most famous scientists.

Yuan Longping was born in September 1930 and died in 2021, aged 91. He cultivated the world’s first high-yielding hybrid rice, which has helped feed nearly one-fifth of the world’s population.

After fighting China’s food shortages, he turned his attention to a much bigger challenge, solving world hunger. Since the 1980s, Yuan’s team has offered training courses in dozens of countries in Africa, the Americas and Asia, providing a huge food source in areas with high risks of famine.

Yuan Longping’s legacy is not only the progress of hybrid rice-his curiosity, devotion, courage, perseverance, diligence, cooperation and selflessness have left an indelible spiritual wealth to us all.

67．“Come on,” I said. “Let’s go to the kitchen and do an experiment to see what would happen.” In the cupboard we found Mother’s custard cups. We dumped a teaspoon of marmalade into each one. We set one on the back yard, one just inside the back door, and one every few feet all the way up to the attic. Then, very carefully, I set the last one in front of the skunk, I backed away. I did all these very cautiously in order not to frighten it. The skunk sniffed. He inched forward. He licked the cup. He ate the marmalade.

Rob and I followed as Marmalade ate his way downstairs, through the kitchen, and out to the back yard. When he was through eating his last bit of marmalade, he turned and looked at us. What was he going to do? He stared for a long time. And then, finally, he gave us a big toothy smile before running away into the rain. He really remembered my mother’s kindness. I was so thrilled that I waved to him and said, “See you next time, old friend!”
