Yosemite is one of the world’s most beloved national parks. As volunteers in Yosemite Valley, we help rangers fix trails and repair fragile natural resources. No previous experience necessary, our leaders provide the training we need to complete the work at hand. Activities Volunteers should be comfortable hiking up to two miles each day. To assess your fitness, you are required to hike stairs for 2-3 miles with a daypack weighing 10-15 pounds at the fitness test. What’s Included All meals from dinner on Day 1 through breakfast on Day 7; campground reservations; group tools; transportation from campground to work sites; orientation and training; park entrance fees. Accommodations Camping, 6 nights (bring your own tent). Your Adventure Itinerary ▶Day 1 Meet for orientation and enjoy a welcome dinner. An orientation meeting will be conducted to provide volunteers with an overview of the scheduled work projects as well as training in proper tool use and safety. ▶Days 2-5 Working with park rangers, assist in trail maintenance and restoration. During these three days, we plan to work from 9 a. m. - 4 p. m. with an hour scheduled for lunch. We return to Yellow Pines Campground each evening for dinner and relaxation. ▶Day 6 Explore Yosemite National Park on your much deserved rest day. Challenge yourself on a hike up the Mist Trail, relax by the Merced River, or read a book in a peaceful meadow — this day is all yours. ▶Day 7 Depart Yosemite for home.

When the Nazis invade in 1940, she and her father are forced to leave the city. They escape to a countryside town to hide with Marie-Laure’s great uncle, Etierine. After several months, Marie-Laure’s father gets arrested. She continues to live with Etienne, and they start passing on secret signals to aid the French Resistance movement. Werner Pfennig is a German orphan with a hobby of listening to science and music programs on an old radio. Developing a talent for fixing radios, he is later hired by the Nazis to help them track enemy radio signals during the war. One day, he picks up a signal that is coming from Etienne’s home in France. Anyway, Maric-Laure and Werner meet and develop a strong relationship. Can these poor souls find a way to escape this horrible war together? Anthony Doerr is an American author from Cleveland, Ohio. Critics have praised Doerr’s writing for his short, sharp sentences and attention to detail. All the Light We Cannot See is his second novel, which was published in 2014. It quickly became a New York Times best-seller and won a Pulitzer Prize for Fiction. The amazing novel gives readers a look at the ugly face of war. Throughout the book, we see how war can destroy people’s lives in the blink of an eye. Characters such as Etienne and Marie-Laure’s father disappear in an instant and are never heard from again. However, war is also shown to bring out the best in people. The characters who survive must show great courage and strength when they face challenges. Another important idea is the importance of science and technology. Doerr suggests that technologies, such as the radio, are helpful to society if they are used with good intentions. However, if technologies fall into the hands of evil , they can cause great destruction. 24. How does Marie-Laure and Etienne help fight against Nazis? A. By providing information. B. By joining French army. C. By tracking radio signals. D. By making their life public. 25. Anthony Doerr’s writings are highly thought of because . A. they are short in length B. he is economical with words C. he is a prize winner D.they are full of interesting details 26. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A. Science and technology should be valued. B. War destroys everything on its way. C. Technology is a double-edge sword. D. Technology plays a key role in war. 27. In which section of a magazine is the passage most likely to be seen? A. Great Writers. B. Book Club. C. Everyday Hero. D. Hit Movies. C These students wandering through the woods on the suburbs of Portland, Oregon, aren't on a school field trip— this muddy field is their school. From the moment they're dropped off in the morning, they spend their entire day outside in one of Oregon's public parks. “Rain or shine, we're out here,” said teacher Christine Fleener. On this surprisingly nice day, Fleener's class of fifth graders headed to the grassland for a biology lesson. Further down the trail, a group of fourth graders was learning on logs. It's school, just not the type of school you might be used to. “Forest school is where the classroom does not have walls,” said Tony Deis, one of the founders of Trackers Earth Forest School. “It's how kids originally learned; they didn't learn sitting at desks, facing forward, looking at a teacher. They learned from a multi- sensory environment.” Over the past decade, outdoor forest schools have gained popularity in the United States. The idea is that the challenges that come with being outside all day— dealing with weather, building your own shelter, unearthing the unexpected— are all part of the learning process. It's complicated, of course. Outdoor schooling involves a puzzle of weather and regulations and budget issues. A well- funded private school in Portland, Oregon is one thing, but what about a public school in Portland, Maine? Surprisingly, cold Maine, of all places, has been quick to adopt outdoor learning. The district isn't all outside all the time, but certain classes, like art, have moved outdoors. Supplies came from a combination of federal funds and local donations. And while Maine has plenty of open space, Brooke Teller, the outdoor learning coordinator for Portland Public Schools, believes schools in major cities could have green classrooms hiding underneath their pavement(路面). She said, “We have a few hundred landscape architects all across the country who have volunteered to be a thought partner with schools that want to figure out where on their grounds would be best for outdoor learning.” 28. What does the author describe at the beginning of the text? A. An interesting school field trip. B. The routine of a forest school. C. The popularity of public parks. D. An unforgettable biology lesson. 29. What is the main philosophy behind the concept of forest schools? A.Kids learn by challenging others. B. Kids learn out of interest. C. Kids learn by doing. D. Kids learn in pleasant environments. 30. What does Teller suggest schools that want to start outdoor education do? A. Work with landscape architects. B. Make use of their open space. C. Start from certain classes. D. Build green classrooms underground. 31. What can be the best title for the text? A. Outdoor education in Oregon B. Benefits of learning outdoors C. Bringing forests to schools D. Schools without walls D Search “poisonous parents”, and you’ll find more than 38, 000 posts, largely urging young adults to cut ties with their families. The idea is to safeguard one’s mental health from abusive parents. However, as a psychoanalyst, I’ve seen that self-help trend in recent years become a way to manage conflicts in the family, and I have seen the severe impacts estrangement (疏远) has on both sides of the divide. “Canceling” your parent can be seen as an extension of a cultural trend aimed at correcting imbalances in power and systemic inequality. Certainly the family is one system in which power has never been balanced. In 1933, the psychoanalyst Sándor Ferenczi warned that even the simple indication that someone has more power than we do could potentially be damaging. Today’s social justice values respond to this reality, calling on us to criticize oppressive and harmful figures and to gain power for those who have been powerless. But when adult children use the most effective tool they have—themselves—to gain a sense of security and ban their parents from their lives, the roles are simply switched, and the pain only deepens. The catch is that after estrangement, adult children are not suddenly less dependent. In fact, they feel abandoned and betrayed, because in the unconscious, it doesn’t matter who is doing the leaving; the feeling that remains is “being left”. They carry the ghosts of their childhood, tackling the emotional reality that those who raised us can never truly be left behind, no matter how hard we try. What I have found is that most of these families need repair, not permanent break-up. How else can one learn how to negotiate needs, to create boundaries and to trust? How else can we love others, and ourselves, if not through accepting the limitations that come with being human? Good relationships are the result not of a perfect level of harmony but rather of successful adjustments. To pursue dialogue instead of estrangement will be hard and painful work. It can’t be a single project of “self-help”, because real intimacy (亲密关系) is achieved by working through the injuries of the past together. In most cases of family conflict, repair is possible and preferable to estrangement—and it’s worth the work. 32. Why do young people cut ties with the family? A. To gain an independent life. B. To restore harmony in the family. C. To protect their psychological well-being. D. To follow a tendency towards social justice. 33. What does the underlined word “catch” in Paragraph 4 mean? A. Response. B.Emphasis. C. Operation. D. Problem. 34. To manage family conflict, the author agrees that young adults should . A. break down boundaries B. accept imperfection of family members C. live up to their parents’ expectations D. gain power within the family 35. What’s the author’s purpose of writing the passage? A. To advocate a self-help trend. B. To justify a common social value. C To argue against a current practice. D. To discuss a means of communication. 第二节（共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 When fighting sugar dependence, avoiding added sugar in the diet is key, which sounds simple — right? It certainly does, but things become a bit more complicated once we introduce alternative sweeteners into the mix. ____36____ Many people think that if they replace the sugar in their diet with alternative sweeteners, they’ll be good to go, but this isn’t necessarily the case. Alternative sweeteners are everywhere. ____37____ For example, Stevia is a popular sugar substitute because it is up to 200 times sweeter than sugar and provides fewer calories. Mon k fruit is another example that is free from calories, sweeter than table sugar, and gained from the juice of monk fruit. We can’t forget about the ever-so-popular sugar alcohols. Sugar alcohols provide fewer calories than regular sugar because they are not fully absorbed by the body. Now that we know some of the common types of alternative sweeteners, let’s take a deeper dive into the problem with them. Research in animals has shown that removing calories from foods that taste sweet can interrupt the ability to control energy intake. ____38____ If we consume high amounts of alternative sweeteners, it may heighten our preference for sweetness, resulting in the overuse of sugar-sweetened foods and drinks. The other interesting thing about alternative sweeteners is that our brains don’t recognize them as “fake(假的) ” sugar. ____39____ Whenever a food tastes sweet, a message is sent to the brain that communicates we are tasting a sweet food — which can further feed into the sugar dependence cycle. ____40____ In order to fully put a definite end to sugar dependence, reducing your intake of alternative sweeteners should be the goal. A. The taste profile of alternative sweeteners varies. B. So what do I recommend? C. There are countless alternative sweeteners on the market. D. Our brain senses something sweet and thinks it is real sugar. E. They may help reduce the calorie content of good-tasting foods and drinks. F. Artificial sweeteners may also cause one’s body to prefer sweeter-tasting foods. G. Alternative sweeteners are referred to as “low-calorie” or “no-calorie” sweeteners. 第三部分  语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 （共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 In my role as a clown(小丑) doctor, I am dressed in my white coat with a curly rainbow wig(假发), a big red nose and my name badge “Doctor Larry Laugh-Out-Loud”.

During the first few months, I cried with our daughters, planned a memorial, cried with my family, celebrated a quiet Thanksgiving, and panicked over not having bought Christmas presents. As the calendar turned to a new year, the often rainy days and long nights deepened my sorrow. I found myself exhausted at the end of February, both physically and mentally. Then the daffodils(水仙) bloomed in the garden. Years before, Randy had planted dozens of these lemon-yellow flowers. To him, they served as a reminder of hope, a promise that light and warmth would soon replace cold and dark. Looking at those daffodils, I thought about how Randy had considered our garden a living work of art, carefully choosing plants so we’d see new blooms every month. Then I noticed all the weeds that had taken root and spread everywhere. The neglect (疏于打理) showed, for Randy’s illness had lasted a couple of years, a time when he didn’t have energy for yard work the way he had before. Faced with the neglected garden, I felt overwhelmed in the beginning. My daughters suggested I hire a service to clean everything up. I didn’t respond. Every time I sat in the garden alone, the memories of the lively garden came flooding, like the numerous scenes in an unforgettable film. Many days Randy came home from work, changed into old clothes, and headed out the door to mow or prune (修剪). Orange dragonflies followed him around the yard as he worked. Honeybees buzzed among the flowers, birds sang beautiful songs, and gentle breezes carried the sweet smell of dirt. No matter how cold or wet it was, the fresh air and physical activity made him energized and refreshed. For Randy, the work was quiet and comforting, which was a relief, as well as a pleasure. 注意: 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The days grew warmer and lighter, and I started the work myself.______ ___________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________ Weeks later, my daughters returned to visit me. ___________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________ 江西省宜春市上高二中2024-2025学年高三上学期10月期中 英语试卷 参考答案 听力1~5 CABCB 6~10 ABCAB 11~15 CCBAA 16~20 BCBCA 21-23 DDA 24-27 AB C B 28-31 BCAD 32-35 CDBC 36-40 G CFDB 41~45CABAD 46~50 CDBAB 51~55 DACBC 56. having been founded 57.relaxed 58.flexibility 59. that 60. was attacked 61.to 62.ultimately 63.branches 64.and 65. have left Dear Chris, Word came that our school is going to hold a class meeting with the theme of Chinese traditional customs. Because this activity will be presented on the English website, I sincerely long for your advice. As far as we know, there is a huge cultural difference between China and the Western countries. Can you tell me which Chinese culture you Westerners have an appetite for? What’s more, if I want to decorate my website with some Chinese elements, what design can get more clicks? Knowing you are well informed of Chinese cultures, I do believe you can help me solve these puzzles. If possible, you can reply to me as soon as possible.Your suggestions are highly appreiciated . Yours, Li Hua The days grew warmer and lighter, and I started the work myself. What I focused on first was clearing away the invasive species that had taken root and spread. Following that, I tended all the lively plants carefully on every single day. At times, I worried that my efforts could never be good enough. But as my list of urgent garden chores got shorter, I started to feel relieved. Working in the yard kept my hands busy and my mind focused on the task in front of me, gradually offering me a beautiful garden as well as a sense of achievement.      Weeks later, my daughters returned to visit me. On entering the door, they were deeply attracted by the lively garden full of fragrant blooms, with honeybees buzzing busily and birds singing cheerfully. They turned to me, confusion mapped on their faces. Sensing that, I explained that I gradually enjoyed working in the garden because it made me feel as if Randy were always with me. Realizing the healing power of the garden work, my daughters hugged me tightly, tears welling up in their eyes. Breathing deeply the grassy scent, I knew I was ready to thrive again, just like the garden. D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了面对家庭冲突或隔阂，相比疏远，修复是更好的方法。 【31题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Search “toxic parents”, and you’ll find more than 38, 000 posts, largely urging young adults to cut ties with their families. The idea is to safeguard one’s mental health from abusive parents.”（搜索“有毒父母”，你会发现有超过38000条帖子，大部分帖子敦促年轻人与家人断绝联系。这个想法是为了保护一个人的心理健康不受父母虐待。）可知，年轻人选择与家庭切断联系是为了保护自己，免于受到心理上的伤害。故选C。 【32题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第六段“The catch is that after estrangement, adult children are not suddenly less dependent. In fact, they feel abandoned and betrayed”（_______是，在与家庭疏远后，成年子女并不会突然变得不那么依赖。事实上，他们会感到被抛弃和被背叛。）可知，子女选择与家庭疏远后，产生的结果是：他们感觉到被抛弃和被背叛，这是一种消极负面的影响。因此，划线后是在解释这一名词，即catch表示严重的后果或是问题。故选D。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“What I have found is that most of these families need repair, not permanent break-up.”（我发现，大多数这样的家庭需要修复，而不是永久的破裂。）可知，作者建议年轻人去修复家庭关系，而不是疏远。以及“How else can we love others, and ourselves, if not through accepting the limitations that come with being human? Good relationships are the result not of a perfect level of harmony but rather of successful adjustments.”（如果不接受作为人类的局限性，我们还能怎样去爱别人和自己呢?良好的关系不是完美和谐的结果，而是成功调整的结果。）可知，作者这里使用一个反问句的形式，向年轻人建议，要认识到人类的局限性，才能爱家人以及爱自己。即接受家人的不完美，调整自己的心态，对关系进行修复才能得完美和谐的结果。故选B。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Search “toxic parents”, and you’ll find more than 38, 000 posts, largely urging young adults to cut ties with their families. The idea is to safeguard one’s mental health from abusive parents.”（搜索“有毒父母”，你会发现超过38000条帖子，大部分敦促年轻人与家人断绝联系。这个想法是为了保护一个人的心理健康不受父母虐待。）可知，开篇作者先提出一个当下普遍存在的趋势：即年轻人在处理家庭冲突时，选择疏远家庭。以及“However, as a psychoanalyst, I’ve seen that trend in recent years become a way to manage conflicts in the family, and I have seen the severe impacts estrangement (c) has on both sides of the divide. This is a self-help trend that creates much harm.”（然而，作为一名精神分析学家，我发现近年来这种趋势已经成为处理家庭冲突的一种方式，我也看到了隔阂对家庭双方的严重影响。这是一种造成很大伤害的自助趋势。）可知，作者紧接着通过转折连词however (然后)指出这种疏远的处理方式是错误的，会带来很大的伤害。因此，作者是为了论述与开篇趋势相反的观点。故选C。 Text 1 W: What's the weather like in your city, Grandpa?

The truth is that you never stop discovering a language, even when you think you know it. W: How did you ever learn Spanish?I'm so nervous I' ll never understand French. M: When I was your age and I went on my first international trip to Spain, I was also very worried. But the best way to learn is by doing just what you' re going to do: by surrounding yourself in the culture and the language. W: Thank you for your advice. Now I'm looking forward to my trip to France. M: Once you' re there, you' ll be having too much fun to get nervous. Text 9 W: Henry, are you ready for the beach? M: Yes, Kelly! Here I am! W: Henry, I can hardly see you. You look like you' re wearing the sheet of a king- size bed. M:I need to protect my skin. I'm allergic to the sun. W: We could' ve gone to a swimming pool! M: No! I don't even like to swim! I just want to take a long walk while I hear the waves and smell the salt in the air. W: How can you smell anything when you' ve covered your entire face? M: Let's just get in the car. We only have one day off. I don't want to waste a second. W: Didn't you hear the new manager? We have two days off. M: What? Oh, great! Two days by the sea! W: Tomorrow's supposed to rain. I'm going to stay home. M: Suit yourself. Rain or shine, I'm going back to the beach. W: Ryan is using my car tomorrow. I can't give you another ride. M:I' ll bike there. W:I never knew you liked the beach so much. M: It's not generally something I talk about at the office. I'm just too busy. W:I never knew you were so sensitive to the sun either. M: That's why I have curtains in my office. Text 10 With the rapid growth in China's cities, some architecture companies are trying to help the environment keep up. Some are even trying to find more ways to bring the urban population into contact with nature. MAD Architects is one of those companies that are trying to take“ green” designs to a new level. The company believes in the importance of making buildings that can produce their own power and food. They believe the buildings should also recycle all of their waste. The new designs make people living and working in these buildings think about being outside. They feel like they’ re reconnecting with the natural world, instead of being far apart from it. The company believes this way of thinking is very important for the future of urban living. One of MAD’s newest projects is called the Urban Forest, designed for the city of Chongqing. There will be offices, open spaces, balconies with trees, and many plants throughout. The project is inspired by the mountainous Chinese landscape and the traditional villages built on the hillsides. It will be an urban engineering wonder! Architects who are interested in working on the Urban Forest should apply at the MAD offices in Beijing, New York, or Rome. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
