Best Campgrounds in U.S. National Parks

Gold Bluffs Beach Campground Redwood National & State Park, CA

The remote campground is located about 6 miles up unpaved Davison Road. This is a small campground, though, with only 26 sites. So you’ll need to book your site well in advance. As far as facilities go, there are solar showers, barbecues and fire pits, picnic tables and food lockers-more than enough for a remote camping adventure. Note that the first part of Davison Road is very steep and winding. Large RVs(房车)are prohibited on this road.

Nightly rate: $35

Watchman Campground, Zion National Park, UT

There are five different loops(圈): Loop A and B have electric campsites, while the C and D are tent-only. Loop E is where the group sites are. Note, however, that this campground is extremely popular. Reservations are absolutely recommended from March through November. The off-season, on the other hand, offers first-come, first-served camping.

Nightly rate: $30 for an electric site; $20 for a tent-only site

Piñon Flats Campground, Great Sand Dunes National Park, co

As an International Dark Sky Park, Great Sand Dunes is also a great place to see the Milky Way and amazing views of North America’s tallest sand dunes. It is popular among children and adults alike. Renting a sled or sand board for an afternoon of fun —you’ll feel like a kid again. Sites can accommodate both RVs and tents.

Nightly rate: $20

Painted Desert, Petrified Forest National Park, AZ

It’s a fantastic place to put up a tent. This is free camping wild camping. The only thing you have to do to camp there is to get a permit in person at the Painted Desert Visitor Center. Once you’re a mile from the trail head, you’re free to set up tents wherever you want. Remember to obey the Leave No Trace principles, though! Of course, there are no facilities in this desert wilderness. So, you’ll need to pack everything you need, from water and food to other supplies.

When you see a slim tower topping out at 14 feet 6 inches (4.4m) and made up of 208 decks of cards, you may exclaim it’s so incredible!

The tower’s architect, Bryan Berg, is an expert card builder, holding the world’s record for the tallest structure built entirely of paper cards. He’s built houses, stadiums, capitols, and castles. There’s no glue, tape or clips (别针). How can he make them stand firm? He begins by balancing four cards to form a box with arms sticking out, which forms a grid (网格). Then he repeats the grid over and over, expanding outward, to build a solid base. After that, Bryan lays cards around the edge and then across the top to make the floor for the next story of the building.

Interestingly enough, Bryan did not get the idea from any of the physical books. Instead, he discovered the unique way to build solid structures using a trick from nature. The secret is plant cells. Plant cells have hard walls and fit together tightly to form a grid that helps leaves and stems to keep their shape. Bees use the same kind of pattern to create honeycombs. Bryan borrowed this idea to invent repeating grids of card cells.

Out of curiosity, people who come to see the card buildings sometimes push and poke (戳刺) to see if they have clips inside, but find they don’t! Once, when Bryan built a card castle at Disney World, birds kept trying to land on it. A squirrel managed to take down one wall and did plenty of damage inside. But, amazingly, the castle didn’t collapse.

When it’s time to take down a card house, Bryan likes to blow them apart with a leaf blower. Is he ever sad to do it? Bryan admits it’s sometimes painful to see his structures fall. But he always knows one thing: “What goes up must come down — even card houses. They wouldn’t be so special if they were permanent. I also learn a lot from taking them apart — the destruction shows me where the weak points are. That is what my next stronger buildings really need.”

24. What makes Bryan’s card buildings stand firm?

A. Fixed clips. B. Repeating grids.

C. Light-weight cards. D. Multiple stories.

25. What is the third paragraph mainly about?

A. The source of Bryan’s inspiration.

B. Bryan’s specific building process.

C. Bryan’s comprehensive knowledge of biology.

D. The similarity between plant cells and honeycombs.

26. Why is the Disney card castle mentioned in paragraph 4?

A. To arouse people’s interest in visiting.

B. To prove the strength of Bryan’s card works.

C. To indicate Bryan’s popularity among children.

D. To show the harmony between man and nature.

27. What life philosophy does Bryan convey in the last paragraph?

A. Pride comes before a fall.

B. It’s unrealistic to achieve perfection.

C. One can better himself by going beyond himself.

D. Nothing is difficult for one who sets his mind to it.

C

Singers seem to have an inborn talent for foreign tongues—most notably when it comes to pronunciation and accent. It’s something that the American singer Taylor Swift does a good job of making her French sound realistic in front of fans during her tours. “A foreign accent is a piece of cake for the singers.” says Susanne Reiterer, a nurolinguistics researcher at Vienna University.

In a study by Reiterer, published in New Scientist in 2015, 96 participants categorized as singers, instrumentalists, and non-musicians were tested for their abilities to imitate a language unknown to them—in this case, Hindi(印地语). Reiterer’s team found that singers had an advantage over instrumentalists in foreign language imitation, but both singers and instrumentalists outperformed non-musicians.

“Since talking uses the same biological makeup as singing, the two must be related both biologically and neurobiologically. It’s Heschl’s gyrus(颞横回) that works. You can change a lot by training, but something is pre-given as well, “Reiterer adds.” Biology plays a leading role. If you have a strong predisposition musically, then you have more power basically in your hearing areas. You can discriminate sounds better.”

Reiterer has also investigated how a person’s initial language ability develops due to factors such as musical ability, vocal training and children experience, to name a few, as reported in a 2021 study. It’s suggested that vocal training may allow singers to learn a language faster. What’s more, when children experience music early, they’re able to achieve lifelong neuroplasticity(神经可塑性). Speech-sound processing ability builds up in one’s whole life.

“It’s the body that feels where I have to move my tongue,” Reiterer says. “And this feeling has a correlation in the brain. That is the key to good pronunciation and the key to a good singer.”

28. What does the author want to tell us about Taylor Swift in paragraph 1?

A. Her achievement in singing.

B. Her dedication to music career

C. Her ability to imitate languages.

D. Her preference for foreign songs.

29. What does the underlined word “predisposition” in paragraph 3 refer to?

A. Interest. B. Condition.

C. Training. D. Knowledge.

30. What did Reiterer intend to find in her study?

A. What determines accent imitation.

B. When children begin to learn music.

C. How musicians benefit from training.

D. Why singers have advantages over others.

31. Which of the following is the most suitable title for the text?

A. The influence of brain on music

B. The key to successful accent learning

C. A good singer, a potential language master

D. One’s performance: 50/50 talent and training

D

In large population studies, people who eat lots of fruits and vegetables high in vitamin C appear to have a reduced risk for various types of cancer, including cancers of the mouth and lung. But it’s not clear that these benefits come specifically from vitamin C. The Age-Related Eye Disease Study found that a daily supplement containing 500 mg of vitamin C can help slow the progress of macular degeneration, an age-related eye disease that causes vision loss. But we don’t know what benefits, if any, are provided by vitamin C in particular.

Many people take vitamin C supplements in unnecessarily high doses to prevent or treat various conditions for which its effectiveness is unproved. The vitamin C supplements have variously been said for staving off sunburn and improving the appearance of wrinkles. None of these benefits have been confirmed in scientific studies.

Perhaps the best-known and most widely promoted use of high-dose(高剂量)vitamin C is to prevent or treat the common cold. Most of the evidence shows that high-dose vitamin C will, at most, shorten a cold by one day. In ordinary circumstances, vitamin C has no preventive value, although a few studies have reported a 50% reduced risk of developing colds among people taking vitamin C in extreme circumstances-for example, skiers, marathon runners, and soldiers working in extreme conditions.

The recommended vitamin C dosage per day for healthy women is 75 mg per day. For adults, the highest safe daily intake is likely to be 2, 000 mg per day. Vitamin C is water-soluble, so any amount more than you need will not be stored in the body. It’s safe in almost any amount from foods, and supplements in recommended amounts are also regarded as safe for most people. In some people, high doses-more than, say, 2, 000 or 3, 000 mg per day-can cause a variety of symptoms. People with kidney conditions should take no more than 1, 000 mg a day.

32. What can we learn about vitamin C in the first paragraph?

A. It can be of better effect in higher doses.

B. It can be a cure for age-related eye disease.

C. It can help slow the progress of some illness.

D. It can reduce the risks of the mouth cancer.

33. What function does vitamin C have intreating the common cold?

A. It can help people save plenty of money.

B. It can stop soldiers from catching a cold.

C. It may reduce a cold by one day at most.

D. It may prevent the common cold efficiently.

34. How much Vitamin C are healthy women advised to take per day?

A. 75 mg.  B. 500 mg.

C. 2,000 mg.  D. 3, 000mg.

35. Where is this text probably taken from?

A. An exam paper.  B. A travel journal.

C. An art guidebook.  D. A science magazine.

Museums become the next stop many students want to visit at their leisure.   36    However, the experience of visiting a museum could be quite disappointing if not done right, even for the experienced museumgoers.

   37   . No matter how much you’re enjoying yourself, many museums can take hours, days, or even weeks to fully explore. If you try to put it all in, you will get worn out to the point that you won’t really be seeing anything. Pick a few paintings and explore them in a detailed way, and your museum experience will be more relaxing.

Have you ever started your visit by waiting in line in front of the museum for a few hours just to get in? And that’s the sad reality when visiting many of those world-famous museums. Thus, be smart to browse the instructions for visiting and book in advance online.   38  

What if you don’t like some museums? Then don’t visit them! I’m not a massive fan of parks, so I would hardly ever end up in any park while travelling.   39   Do they have a nice collection of an art style you love? Just ask yourself and visit the museum website to see what the highlights are.

There is nothing worse than impolite manners while visiting. We’ve all witnessed that guy being yelled at by the security for touching or taking flash photos.   40   .Otherwise, not only will you absolutely get embarrassed by security guards, but you can actually ruin artworks!

All of these ground rules are often neglected by us. Bear them in mind before setting off, and you will enjoy your museum tour!

A. It’s the same with the museums

B. But most of them do it all wrong

C. If you haven’t, don’t let it be you

D. That way you can have an easy access

E. The first step is to research how to enjoy everything

F. Sometimes you may sigh museum tiredness is a real thing

G. Generally, there is no right or wrong way to visit a museum

I quickly opened up a    48    page in the book. I spotted a quote, with a crossed out word written in the seemingly   49   handwriting of elderly Grandma or Grandpa Burrowes.

A couple of weeks back, DJ decided to leave America to go on an open-ended trip to China. Before leaving, he came for an    54   at our place, putting this book on the shelf without letting us know.

Sam was a junior high school student. He lived in a community in Charlotte and usually had little exposure to country life. So much of what he knew about plants came from text-books. Sam was a kind-hearted person. He longed for a chance to explore nature and he wanted to do his part to beautify the world.

Finally, the opportunity came. On Arbor Day (植树节), his class organized a trip to a local village to plant trees. Sam was excited about it and couldn’t wait to tell his mom the good news. So the next day, Sam and his mom went to buy some tools for planting trees, including a shovel(铲), a bucket, gloves and so on.

On the day of the event, Sam and his classmates arrived early at the starting point. It was a beautiful day and everyone looked particularly happy. With the tools in hand, Sam got into the bus with everyone else and headed off to their destination.

As soon as they reached the village, all the students were divided into three teams by their teacher. One team was responsible for planting the trees, one team for shovelling the soil and one team for watering the trees. At the teacher’s command, everyone started to do their job.

However, it was the first time that many of the students had taken part in planting trees, so they had no idea about how to start. Of course, Sam was one of them. Fortunately, their teacher was a middle-aged man from the countryside who had some knowledge of planting trees. In order to set an example to the students, the teacher started to plant trees himself. After watching the teacher plant the trees, everyone also became busy. Before long, they planted hundreds of trees. Sam watched very carefully, not wanting to miss any of the details. Finally, Sam learned how to plant trees by himself and felt happy.
