GOLDEN GATE NATIONAL RECREATION AREA TRAILS
For many of us, the sprawling and spectacular trail system at Golden Gate is how we experience the parks and encounter their many wonders. Trails are as unique and complex as the ecosystems they help protect, or the extraordinary people who help care for them. Introduce yourself to one of the trails in the Golden Gate National Parks, and get ready to meet magic.
Battery East Trail
Difficulty: Easiest LENGTH: 0.80 miles round-trip
One of the signature trail improvement projects of the Parks Conservancy, the multi-use Battery East Trail features eye-pop ping views of the soaring towers of the Golden Gate Bridge, as well as an overlook area to admire the span and San Francisco Bay.
Alta Trail
Difficulty: Moderately Difficult LENGTH: 5.02 miles round-trip
This is a long but gradual climb from the eastern side of the Marin Headlands. This fire road is in good condition, making for an easy route to wander along.
Baquiano Trail
Difficulty: Moderate LENGTH: 2.22 miles round-trip
Driving up to the parking area is steep, and it’s a premonition of what the trail will be like. You guessed it, the ascent will be too. However, switchbacks make the climb much easier. Near the top of the ridge, it flattens out and becomes a fire road.
Batteries to Bluffs Trail
Difficulty: Difficult LENGTH: 0.70 miles round-trip
Stretching from just south of the Golden Gate Bridge to Battery Crosby, the trail offers spectacular coastal panoramas, views of the Golden Gate, and a safe descent to Marshall’s Beach.

“Xin Nongren” means “New Farmers”, which refers to young Chinese who devote themselves to sustainable farming after quitting jobs. Shi Yan, the founder of Shared Harvest, an organic farm in the countryside north of Beijing, is a representative of “Xin Nongren”.
Shi Yan was born in 1982 in Hebei Province. As a student at the Renmin University of China, she was concerned about the widespread environmental damage caused by chemical-reliant farming practices. In 2008, she travelled to the US as an intern (实习生) at Minnesota’s Earthrise Farm to see the Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) in action. Being community-focused, CSA farms are run under organic principles. A key element of CSA is its shared risk, membership- marketing structure, which financially protects farmers while connecting them to consumers.
Shared Harvest is the result of what Yan learned there. Opened in 2012, it is not only a completely organic farm but also one of the first in China to follow the CSA model. When she first started it, few had heard of CSA. Now, there are over 1,500 CSA farms in China. Shared Harvest prides itself on natural alternatives to chemical pesticides. Instead of chemicals, the team uses hot pepper water, for instance, to treat crop diseases.
Finding natural solutions can be time-consuming and labour-intensive, with some problems requiring weeks of individual attention. Unsurprisingly, supplies of vegetables, eggs and meat cost about three times more than that sold at ordinary grocery stores. It’s expensive, but Yan believes 40 percent of Beijing residents can afford green produce. “It requires a different mindset,” she says. She not only hopes to convince the consumers, but she’s determined to educate farmers about organic practices. “We have to understand the farmer, and using pesticides is just like smoking. They’re addicted to it,” she says.
4. What are typical “Xin Nongren” like?
A. They are unable to find jobs. B. They major in organic farming.
C. They choose to contribute to farming. D. They are forced to work in the countryside.
5. What is the business mode of CSA farms?
A. They are run by communities. B. They work with other farms.
C. They employ interns to do the work. D. They involve both farmers and consumers.
6. What do we learn from the last paragraph?
A. Few can afford produce from Shared Harvest.
B Shi Yan has already practiced the new way on most farms.
C. Farmers are always fond of smoking.
D. Changes of mindset are the key to success.
7. Which of the following can best describe Shi Yan?
A. Responsible and determined. B. Generous and proud.
C. Hardworking and talented. D. Diligent and charitable.
C
White noise has long been a proper solution for drowning out background sounds and finding peace and quiet. However, recently, its colorful competitors — pink noise and brown noise — have been gaining attention. There’s a growing discussion around pink noise, brown noise, green noise — a rainbow of comforting sounds — and their potential effects on sleep, concentration, and relaxation.
White noise is a consistent sound that contains all frequencies in the spectrum (频谱) of audible sound, each at equal intensity. It’s often described as a “hissing” sound, similar to static (静电噪音) on a television or radio. White noise is popular for making it easier for people to concentrate or sleep.
Pink noise has equal intensity per octave (八度音阶), meaning its energy is more concentrated at lower frequencies. This results in a softer and more comforting sound than white noise. Think of the gentle rustling (沙沙声) of leaves or the steady rain on a rooftop. Studies suggest pink noise can improve sleep quality by enhancing deeper and longer sleep. Brown noise, also known as red noise, has even more energy at lower frequencies, producing a deeper and more rumbling sound. Some people find brown noise particularly effective for relaxation and reducing anxiety, as its deeper tones can have a calming effect.
Selecting the right type of noise depends on your personal preference and the specific benefits you’re seeking. Pink noise may help you fall asleep faster and enjoy more restorative sleep. White noise is still a good choice for those needing to concentrate in a noisy environment. You can choose brown noise if seeking relaxation or stress relief.
Besides these noises, there are other colorful noises to explore. Blue noise, violet noise, and gray noise have unique sound profiles and potential benefits. As research continues, the world of sound therapy is sure to expand further. As more people discover the benefits of these colorful competitors, the landscape of noise therapy is becoming more vibrant than ever.
8. What can we learn about pink noise?
A. It has deeper and lower sound than others. B. It enhances sleep of high quality.
C. It results in higher level of concentration. D. It helps make people less anxious.
9 How do people choose the suitable noise?
A. It relies on others’ preference. B. It counts on the environment you’ re in.
C. It’s up to your need. D. It’s based on your pressure.
10. What is the author’s attitude towards the future of noise therapy?
A. Doubtful. B. Positive. C. Indifferent. D. Critical.
11. What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. The growing attention to noises of different colors. B. The various functions of soft sounds.
C. The new methods of focusing in noisy environment. D. The creative treatment for sleep problems.
D
Artificial intelligence and human relationships are often described as dangerous and widespread with moral implications. The concept of using a robot instead of a human as a companion is controversial (有争议的). Many would view it as a depressing symptom of isolated (孤立的) modern day living, and a breakdown of our communities.
Some scientists, however, suggest that there may be more slight differences to this issue, claiming that it is no different from having a pet or children who own inanimate dolls. People on the edge of social isolation could use AI technology to help develop their social skills, building their confidence for real-world human interactions. The technology could also be used to prevent major depressive disorders and help stabilize patients going through a mental health crisis.
In today’s society, loneliness is a serious illness. It discourages individuals from attempting to interact with others, further diminishing the chances of recovery and social engagement. AI could intervene in this downward spiral (恶性循环), providing companionship to help build feelings of self-worth and foster positive emotional states.
Although the chatbots (聊天机器人) in their current primitive state have a limit to address loneliness, technology is rapidly improving, and soon it will be able to detect distinctions, learn personalities, and understand humor on a level never seen before. It is vital that when this happens, adequate safeguards are in place if chatbots are indeed to be used in a constructive manner to help the isolated. AI chatbots must have built-in protection. Users are likely to develop close bonds with such AI companions, making it extremely important that user privacy is protected and secure from outside malicious exploitation.
Human beings are sociable creatures and need other people in their lives to function naturally. Without companionship, physical and mental health suffer dramatically. Using AI to help facilitate a return to sociability and to numb the pain of isolation is a novel concept that does hold some promise. However, fully replacing a human relationship with AI remains risky, and applying this concept safely must be done with caution.
12. Which of the following views is controversial on the use of AI?
A. It can cause a breakdown of our communities. B. It is considered a sign of depressing symptom.
C. It is regarded as a replacement for companion. D. It can help people deal with social relationships.
13. What does the underlined word “diminishing” mean in paragraph 3?
A. Rising. B. Providing. C. Decreasing. D. Balancing.
14. Why does the author mention chatbots in paragraph 4?
A. To introduce the function of chatbots. B. To support his opinion on AI use.
C. To emphasize the benefits of AI. D. To popularize the application of AI.
15. What is the author’s suggestion on AI as companionship?
A. Resist AI as a companion firmly. B. Take the place of medicine completely.
C. Develop close relationship with AI trustingly. D. Establish a companionship with AI cautiously.

47. 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。
In a small town in Colorado, there lived a young boy named Jack, who was always energetic and had a strong thirst for adventure. His eyes always sparkled with sense of wonder whenever he looked at the world around him. These enormous peaks of the Rocky Mountains were more than just a geographical feature for him. They were a constant source of inspiration and a call to adventure.
At the age of 13, he developed a strong interest in rock climbing when his school organized a trip to a local climbing gym. As soon as he put on the climbing shoes and felt the artificial rocks beneath his fingertips, he was hooked. The gym was a have n for him, a place where he could test his physical limits and learn the art of climbing. Later, he eagerly attended every climbing class there, acquiring knowledge from the experienced instructors. He learned the basic techniques such as proper footwork, how to distribute his weight evenly, and the crucial safety rules.
However, the artificial walls of the gym could not satisfy his longing for real challenges. He dreamed of conquering the natural peaks of the Rockies. He would often stand at the edge of town, gazing eagerly at the mountains, his mind filled with thoughts of conquering their majestic heights. ·
One day, Jack heard about a challenging climbing route on a nearby mountain. It was known for its steep cliffs and difficult hand- and- foot holds (支撑点). Many experienced climbers had failed. But Jack was not stopped. He spent weeks preparing for this climb, training his body by doing strength exercises and improving his balance. He also studied the route as much as he could, looking at pictures and reading accounts from those who had tried it before.
When the day of the climb finally arrived, Jack set off early in the morning. The initial part of the climb was relatively easy, but as he went up higher, the difficulties began to mount. The rocks were slippery, and the wind was strong, making it hard for him to maintain his balance. At one point, Jack found himself unable to find a good hold.
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。
Doubt started to spread in his mind.

“Xin Nongren” means “New Farmers”, which refers to young Chinese who devote themselves to sustainable farming after quitting jobs. Shi Yan, the founder of Shared Harvest, an organic farm in the countryside north of Beijing, is a representative of “Xin Nongren”.
Shi Yan was born in 1982 in Hebei Province. As a student at the Renmin University of China she was concerned about the widespread environmental damage caused by chemical-reliant farming practices. In 2008, she travelled to the US as an intern (实习生) at Minnesota’s Earthrise Farm to see the Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) in action. Being community-focused, CSA farms are run under organic principles. A key element of CSA is its shared risk, membership- marketing structure, which financially protects farmers while connecting them to consumers.
Shared Harvest is the result of what Yan learned there. Opened in 2012, it is not only a completely organic farm but also one of the first in China to follow the CSA model. When she first started it, few had heard of CSA. Now, there are over 1,500 CSA farms in China. Shared Harvest prides itself on natural alternatives to chemical pesticides. Instead of chemicals, the team uses hot pepper water, for instance, to treat crop diseases.
Finding natural solutions can be time-consuming and labour-intensive, with some problems requiring weeks of individual attention. Unsurprisingly, supplies of vegetables, eggs and meat cost about three times more than that sold at ordinary grocery stores. It’s expensive, but Yan believes 40 percent of Beijing residents can afford green produce. “It requires a different mindset,” she says. She not only hopes to convince the consumers, but she’s determined to educate farmers about organic practices. “We have to understand the farmer, and using pesticides is just like smoking. They’re addicted to it,” she says.
4. What are typical “Xin Nongren” like?
A. They are unable to find jobs. B. They major in organic farming.
C. They choose to contribute to farming. D. They are forced to work in the countryside.
5. What is the business mode of CSA farms?
A. They are run by communities. B. They work with other farms.
C. They employ interns to do the work. D. They involve both farmers and consumers.
6. What do we learn from the last paragraph?
A. Few can afford produce from Shared Harvest.
B. Shi Yan has already practiced the new way on most farms.
C. Farmers are always fond of smoking.
D. Changes of mindset are the key to success.
7. Which of the following can best describe Shi Yan?
A. Responsible and determined. B. Generous and proud.
C. Hardworking and talented. D. Diligent and charitable.
【答案】4. C 5. D 6. D 7. A

White noise has long been a proper solution for drowning out background sounds and finding peace and quiet. However, recently, its colorful competitors — pink noise and brown noise — have been gaining attention. There’s a growing discussion around pink noise, brown noise, green noise — a rainbow of comforting sounds — and their potential effects on sleep, concentration, and relaxation.
White noise is a consistent sound that contains all frequencies in the spectrum (频谱) of audible sound, each at equal intensity. It’s often described as a “hissing” sound, similar to static (静电噪音) on a television or radio. White noise is popular for making it easier for people to concentrate or sleep.
Pink noise has equal intensity per octave (八度音阶), meaning its energy is more concentrated at lower frequencies. This results in a softer and more comforting sound than white noise. Think of the gentle rustling (沙沙声) of leaves or the steady rain on a rooftop. Studies suggest pink noise can improve sleep quality by enhancing deeper and longer sleep. Brown noise, also known as red noise, has even more energy at lower frequencies, producing a deeper and more rumbling sound. Some people find brown noise particularly effective for relaxation and reducing anxiety, as its deeper tones can have a calming effect.
Selecting the right type of noise depends on your personal preference and the specific benefits you’re seeking. Pink noise may help you fall asleep faster and enjoy more restorative sleep. White noise is still a good choice for those needing to concentrate in a noisy environment. You can choose brown noise if seeking relaxation or stress relief.
Besides these noises, there are other colorful noises to explore. Blue noise, violet noise, and gray noise have unique sound profiles and potential benefits. As research continues, the world of sound therapy is sure to expand further. As more people discover the benefits of these colorful competitors, the landscape of noise therapy is becoming more vibrant than ever.
8. What can we learn about pink noise?
A. It has deeper and lower sound than others. B. It enhances sleep of high quality.
C. It results in higher level of concentration. D. It helps make people less anxious.
9. How do people choose the suitable noise?
A. It relies on others’ preference. B. It counts on the environment you’ re in.
C. It’s up to your need. D. It’s based on your pressure.
10. What is the author’s attitude towards the future of noise therapy?
A. Doubtful. B. Positive. C. Indifferent. D. Critical.
11. What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. The growing attention to noises of different colors. B. The various functions of soft sounds.
C. The new methods of focusing in noisy environment. D. The creative treatment for sleep problems.
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. B 11. A
【解析】

推理判断题。根据最后一段“As more people discover the benefits of these colorful competitors, the landscape of noise therapy is becoming more vibrant than ever.(随着越来越多的人发现这些丰富多彩的竞争对手的好处,噪音治疗的前景比以往任何时候都更加充满活力)”可推知,作者认为噪音治疗的前景很好,所以作者对噪音治疗的未来持积极态度。故选B。

Artificial intelligence and human relationships are often described as dangerous and widespread with moral implications. The concept of using a robot instead of a human as a companion is controversial (有争议的). Many would view it as a depressing symptom of isolated (孤立的) modern day living, and a breakdown of our communities.
Some scientists, however, suggest that there may be more slight differences to this issue, claiming that it is no different from having a pet or children who own inanimate dolls. People on the edge of social isolation could use AI technology to help develop their social skills, building their confidence for real-world human interactions. The technology could also be used to prevent major depressive disorders and help stabilize patients going through a mental health crisis.
In today’s society, loneliness is a serious illness. It discourages individuals from attempting to interact with others, further diminishing the chances of recovery and social engagement. AI could intervene in this downward spiral (恶性循环), providing companionship to help build feelings of self-worth and foster positive emotional states.
Although the chatbots (聊天机器人) in their current primitive state have a limit to address loneliness, technology is rapidly improving, and soon it will be able to detect distinctions, learn personalities, and understand humor on a level never seen before. It is vital that when this happens, adequate safeguards are in place if chatbots are indeed to be used in a constructive manner to help the isolated. AI chatbots must have built-in protection. Users are likely to develop close bonds with such AI companions, making it extremely important that user privacy is protected and secure from outside malicious exploitation.
Human beings are sociable creatures and need other people in their lives to function naturally. Without companionship, physical and mental health suffer dramatically. Using AI to help facilitate a return to sociability and to numb the pain of isolation is a novel concept that does hold some promise. However, fully replacing a human relationship with AI remains risky, and applying this concept safely must be done with caution.
12. Which of the following views is controversial on the use of AI?
A. It can cause a breakdown of our communities. B. It is considered a sign of depressing symptom.
C. It is regarded as a replacement for companion. D. It can help people deal with social relationships.
13. What does the underlined word “diminishing” mean in paragraph 3?
A. Rising. B. Providing. C. Decreasing. D. Balancing.
14. Why does the author mention chatbots in paragraph 4?
A. To introduce the function of chatbots. B. To support his opinion on AI use.
C. To emphasize the benefits of AI. D. To popularize the application of AI.
15. What is the author’s suggestion on AI as companionship?
A. Resist AI as a companion firmly. B. Take the place of medicine completely.
C. Develop close relationship with AI trustingly. D. Establish a companionship with AI cautiously.
【答案】12. C 13. C 14. B 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了人工智能作为伴侣的争议及其在缓解孤独和社会隔离方面的潜力。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据“The concept of using a robot instead of a human as a companion is controversial (有争议的).(使用机器人代替人类作为伴侣的概念是有争议的)”可知,在使用人工智能方面,使用机器人代替人类作为伴侣的概念是有争议的。故选C。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段“In today’s society, loneliness is a serious illness. It discourages individuals from attempting to interact with others, further diminishing the chances of recovery and social engagement. AI could intervene in this downward spiral (恶性循环), providing companionship to help build feelings of self-worth and foster positive emotional states.(在当今社会,孤独是一种严重的疾病。它不鼓励个人试图与他人互动,进一步diminishing康复和社会参与的机会。人工智能可以干预这种恶性循环,提供陪伴,帮助建立自我价值感,培养积极的情绪状态)”可知,孤独会使人不愿意与他人互动,结合常识,这会减少康复和社会参与的机会,推测划线单词表示“减少”,与Decreasing意义相近。故选C。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Although the chatbots (聊天机器人) in their current primitive state have a limit to address loneliness, technology is rapidly improving, and soon it will be able to detect distinctions, learn personalities, and understand humor on a level never seen before.(尽管处于当前原始状态的聊天机器人在解决孤独感方面存在局限性,但技术正在迅速进步,很快它将能够检测到差异,学习个性,并以前所未有的水平理解幽默)”可知,聊天机器人将随着技术进步发挥更大的作用,帮助解决孤独感这一问题,由此推知,作者提到聊天机器人是为了支持自己对人工智能使用的看法。故选B。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Using AI to help facilitate a return to sociability and to numb the pain of isolation is a novel concept that does hold some promise. However, fully replacing a human relationship with AI remains risky, and applying this concept safely must be done with caution.(使用人工智能来帮助恢复社交能力,并麻木孤立的痛苦,这是一个新颖的概念,确实有一些希望。然而,用人工智能完全取代人际关系仍然存在风险,必须谨慎安全地应用这一概念)”可知,作者表示使用人工智能作为陪伴的确有作用,但仍然存在风险,作者建议谨慎使用人工智能作为伴侣。故选D。

47. 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。
In a small town in Colorado there lived a young boy named Jack, who was always energetic and had a strong thirst for adventure. His eyes always sparkled with sense of wonder whenever he looked at the world around him. These enormous peaks of the Rocky Mountains were more than just a geographical feature for him. They were a constant source of inspiration and a call to adventure.
At the age of 13, he developed a strong interest in rock climbing when his school organized a trip to a local climbing gym. As soon as he put on the climbing shoes and felt the artificial rocks beneath his fingertips, he was hooked. The gym was a have n for him, a place where he could test his physical limits and learn the art of climbing. Later, he eagerly attended every climbing class there, acquiring knowledge from the experienced instructors. He learned the basic techniques such as proper footwork, how to distribute his weight evenly, and the crucial safety rules.
However, the artificial walls of the gym could not satisfy his longing for real challenges. He dreamed of conquering the natural peaks of the Rockies. He would often stand at the edge of town, gazing eagerly at the mountains, his mind filled with thoughts of conquering their majestic heights. ·
One day, Jack heard about a challenging climbing route on a nearby mountain. It was known for its steep cliffs and difficult hand- and- foot holds (支撑点). Many experienced climbers had failed. But Jack was not stopped. He spent weeks preparing for this climb, training his body by doing strength exercises and improving his balance. He also studied the route as much as he could, looking at pictures and reading accounts from those who had tried it before.
When the day of the climb finally arrived, Jack set off early in the morning. The initial part of the climb was relatively easy, but as he went up higher, the difficulties began to mount. The rocks were slippery, and the wind was strong, making it hard for him to maintain his balance. At one point, Jack found himself unable to find a good hold.

The view from the top was breathtaking.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Doubt started to spread in his mind. But then he remembered all the reasons why he had started this climb — his love for the mountains, his desire to prove himself, and his pursuit of growth. With the determination rebuilt, Jack carefully scanned the rock face and finally found a small crack that he could use to pull himself up. Despite the increasing obstacles as he went up, never would he give up halfway. After several hours of intense climbing, Jack finally reached the summit.
The view from the top was breathtaking. Everything was rewarding — the entire town below, the vast expanse of the forest, and the winding rivers. Tears welling up in his eyes, he felt a sense of accomplishment that he had never experienced before, which would fuel his future adventures and his continuous pursuit of growth. Jack’s story will inspire many of the other teenagers in his town, showing them it is with courage and determination that they can take on any challenge and achieve great heights.
