The Best National Parks to Visit in Winter

While most parks tend to draw families in the summer and fall, there are also ideal spots for adventurous winter trips.

Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming

The country's oldest and best-known national parks takes on an almost otherworldly atmosphere in winter. the air filled with rolling steam, the strong colors of hot springs. the surrounding white landscapes, let alone the impressive wildlife during this time, like bison, wolves, and playful red foxes. Just book a guided hiking tour to get a ranger's perspective on the park and local people.

Joshua Tree National Park, California

With its giant red rocks and unique trees you'll feel like stepping onto a foreign planet as you spend hours hiking the Panorama Loop or Maze Loop. The park is recognized as an International Dark Sky Park, featuring virtually zero light pollution and the country's best views of a starry sky.

Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona

A significantly lower number of visitors in winter means you can take in unblocked views of the South Rim, and get to see the rare beauty of the Grand Canyon dusted with snow. For those adventurous and daring, it is recommended to hike the Bright Angel Trail and take the chance to see the canyon's wintertime wildlife, including mule deer, elk, and bald eagles.

Virgin Islands National Park, St. John

Surprise! Not all wintertime national park trips need to involve snow. Virgin Islands National Park is most famous for its white-sand beaches. You can also hike inland to visit old sugar plantations, or venture out to the water to swim along with sea turtles and manta rays. You will definitely enjoy a different winter here.

21. Which park will one choose if he or she is interested in stars?

A. Yellowstone Nation Park.     B. Joshua Tree National Park.

C. Grand Canyon National Park.    D. Virgin Islands National Park.

22. What do we know about the Grand Canyon National Park?

A. There is a slight decline in visitor numbers in winter.

B. We can have a poor view of the South Rim there.

C. The Bright Angel Trail is challenging in cold weather.

D. It lies in an area with rolling steam and hot springs.

After a difficult academic year, we all deserve a wonderful summer holiday, a time for

relaxation and celebration. Of course, a big part of any celebration involves food. Many of my holidays, birthdays, days out and good memories are defined by the amazing food that was involved. The sunny weather and long days bring with it a whole selection of meals, recipes and snacks to be enjoyed.

The first thing that summer calls for is a barbecue. Although I don’t have a barbecue at home, a portable barbecue(烧烤架)will do the trick and this means that you can enjoy a slightly charred burger wherever you are. Picnics are also a must for summer and I often find they are the most fun when treated like a potluck (百家饭), with each person bringing along their personal favourites. Cocktail sausages and mini Scotch eggs are always my guilty pleasures. As someone from the Suffolk coast, fish and chips are essential. It truly feels like summer when I sit on the beach with chips wrapped in paper on my lap. The coast is the best place to get a seafood treat with fish being caught fresh daily. Besides, you can finish your day with a walk along the beach.

Finally, we can’t forget the drinks. Pimms in the sun, well balanced by lemonade and summer fruits, is always delicious. And I find that nothing reminds me more of post exam celebrations than a pint(品脱,为容量单位)in a beer garden.

The thing about summer food is that it often becomes food associated with summer memories. Picnics, barbecues, and fish and chips on the beach are more than just delicious meals — they are a way to socialise and have fun with friends and family. Part of the fun comes from lazing in the sun afterwards, swimming in the sea, and playing heartily, which is why our food memories are so powerful.

24. According to the author, what makes a picnic most enjoyable?

A. Gathering with friends.    B. Sharing delicious foods.

C. Enjoying seafood treats.    D. Introducing different recipes.

25. Which of the following can best explain the underlined word portable in paragraph 2?

A. Multifunctional.  B. Automatic.  C. Easy to carry. D. Simple to operate.

26. What is the most likely to make the author recall post exam celebrations?

A. Having a barbecue at home   B. Taking a walk along the beach

C. Getting a seafood treat on the coast  D. Enjoying some Pimms in a beer garden

27. In which part of a newspaper can you most probably read the text?

A. Travel and holiday.      B. Cuisine and life.

C. Sports and fitness.      D. Education and schooling.

C

Scientists recently discovered that pictures on cave walls at Creswell Crags are the oldest known in Great Britain. But they didn’t find out in the usual way.

Archaeologists(考古学家)often date cave art with a process called radiocarbon dating. The technique can measure the age of carbon found in charcoal(木炭)drawings or painted pictures.

Carbon is an element found in many things, including charcoal and even people. But in this case, there was no paint or charcoal to test. People carved the pictures of animals and figures into the rock using stone tools. The scientists had an “aha!”moment when they noticed small rocks stuck

to the top of the drawings. The small rocks must have formed after the drawings were made.

“It is rare to be able to scientifically date rock art,”said Alistair Pike, an archaeological scientist at Britain’s University of Bristol. “We were very fortunate that some of the engravings (雕刻)were covered by stalagmites(石笋).”

When a test proved that the stalagmites formed 12,800 years ago, the scientists knew the art underneath them had to be at least that old. And some of the animals shown are now extinct — another clue that the art is quite old.

The artists came to Creswell Crags. This place is one of the farthest points north reached by our ancient ancestors during the Ice Age. At that time, much of the North Sea was dry, so people could move about more easily.

Some tools and bones found there are 13,000 to 15,000 years old. They show that the travelers hunted horses, reindeer, and arctic hares. Their artwork is similar to art in France and Germany. It tells scientists that the Creswell Crags artists must have had a close connection to peoples several thousand kilometers away — another important evidence of understanding how humans spread out across the world.

28. How did the scientists feel when they found rocks on the top of the drawings?

A. Fairly confusing.     B. Pleasantly surprised.

C. Completely satisfied.    C. Extremely proud.

29. Why do scientists say the art is quite old?

A. Some pictures were covered by stalagmites formed long ago.

B. The majority of the animals carved into the stone are extinct.

C. The cave is one of the farthest points in the world.

D. The art was carved into the stone with stone tools.

30. What can scientists learn about by studying the cave art?

A. How ancient people crossed the North Sea.

B. Why some of the animals have died out.

C. How humans spread out across the world.

D. What ancient people had for food at that time.

31. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

A. Cave Art About Animals Is Most Beautiful

B. Cave Art Is Found In the Usual Way

C. Cave Art Turns Out to Be Britain s Oldest

D. Cave Art Has a Great Influence on Britain

D

To understand the effect of ice melting(融化)around the world we first have to understand what an ice sheet actually is. Covering 5.4 million square miles in Antarctica(南极洲)and 656,000

square miles in Greenland, an ice sheet is actually a huge land of ice from the Ice Age. These sheets form in areas where snow that falls in winter does not melt entirely over the summer. This ice, home to different species of animals, is now melting at a rate that cannot support the life it currently holds.

Many of these creatures rely on ice sheets as land for resting, hunting and protection, yet as the size decreases, they are forced out of their homeland in search of other land on which to live. Often this means journeys to search for food and an imbalanced ecosystem happens when different species are forced together onto the coast.

Since the 1990s, the deer population has dropped by 56 per cent climate change has caused warmer temperatures over winter setting off rainfall instead of snow, which freezes more quickly

underfoot and makes it harder to walk and search for food. In the summer, frozen layers of land melts and releases trapped diseases which bring death to animals. A similar situation has fallen on the polar bears who suffered a 40 per cent population loss between 2001 2010.

Quite apart from these problems, the threat of sea levels rising if the ice caps were to disappear is approaching. If the Greenland Ice Sheet melted, the sea level would rise around six meters, and if the Antarctic Ice Sheet melted, sea levels would rise by around 20 feet. As a matter of fact, sea levels have risen about eight inches since 1880, three of which were gained over the last 25 years. This seemingly small amount has already caused dangerous flooding, loss of farmland and more deadly storms.

While were still a long way from losing the ice sheets all together, weve already lost too much and if we don’t take climate change seriously now, we will certainly hit the point of no return.

32. What is an ice sheet according to the passage?

A. It is an area where ice never melts in summer.

B. It is a land of ice that covers all Greenland.

C. It is a large area of ice that exists for centuries.

D. It is an ice world for animals to live on.

33. How does the melting of ice sheets affect animals?

A. It makes it easier to travel to other land.

B. It increases the population of sea animals.

C. It makes their surroundings more comfortable.

D. It causes hunger and illness among animals.

34. What can we infer from Paragraph 4?

A. Ice sheet will soon disappear from the Earth.

B. Sea levels are rising faster in recent years.

C. Greenland will be the first to lose all its ice.

D. All natural disasters happen due to sea level rise.

35. What could be the best title for this passage?

A. Effect of Melting Ice Sheets   B. Ice, Sea and Animals

C. Cause of Melting Ice Sheets   D. Changes of Sea Levels

第二节(满分 25 分)

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.

On a Sunday morning, Tony woke up to a quiet house. Usually Mom was awake making breakfast and  cleaning  the kitchen, but not today. At  the sound  of  his mom coughing, Tony

knocked on her bedroom door and asked with great concern, “Mom, are you OK?”“Honey,”Mom said weakly. “I have a terrible cold. You can have cereal(燕麦)for breakfast and watch cartoons. I’m going to stay in bed.”

Tony poured some cereal into a bowl and ate the pieces dry. Mom must feel very bad if she was staying in bed all day. How could Tony help? First, he wiped up the crumbs(碎屑)of cereal he left on the kitchen counter. He also put away the cereal box neatly, so the kitchen looked just as

it did when he woke up. But what else could he do? Tony thought. Sunday was the day when mom did laundry(要洗的衣物). Tony loved to watch the clothes spinning(快速旋转)in the machine. That should be fun! He ran to his room to get the laundry basket, in which there was his mother’s favorite white dress, among other clothes and a pair of red socks.

Tony opened the door to the washer and put the clothes inside. He had watched Mom do laundry lots of times, so he knew where to find the washing powder and how to pour it into the machine. Finally, he closed the door and pressed the big button that said “START”. Tony looked through the round glass window. Water was pouring in, and the machine was starting to spin, making his clothing tumble(翻滚)around. That was easy!

Tony watched cartoons until he heard the washing machine beep(发出哔哔声). That meant the washing was done. Tony opened the door to take out the damp clothes. He took out a few at a time and moved them into the dryer (脱水机). Everything seemed clean, and Tony felt proud. Then he pulled out a pink dress.

注意:

1. 所续写短文的词数应为 150 左右;

2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答.

But as far as he could remember, there was no pink dress in the laundry basket.

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Tony nervously knocked at his mom's bedroom door again, with the pink dress in his arms.
