If that’s too ambitious, drive the Mattole Loop instead, stopping to explore Humboldt Redwoods State Park, home to Avenue of the Giants, and the town of Ferndale, recognized by its Victorian architecture. Mono Lake Otherworldly in a number of ways, Mono Lake is an ancient saline lake on California’s eastern edge. No fish swim here, but brine shrimp do, and those draw myriad bird species that migrate along the Pacific Flyway. Distinct limestone formations called tufa stand out — literally and figuratively — at Mono Lake. Point Reyes Point Reyes is pleasantly quiet, especially along its coastal trails. Look for wildflowers and endemic animals on Tomales Point Trail — which rambles for nearly 10 miles on this special, skinny peninsula, delivering gorgeous, foggy views of the Ocean. Trinity Alps Another stunning preserve in Northern California, Trinity Alps Wilderness awe s visitors with its alpine lakes and granite peaks. It’s an excellent option for day hiking, like Hidden Lake Trail, but also for multiday backpacking trips such as the 18.6-mile Canyon Creek Lakes Trail. Shasta Lake This sprawling reservoir might best be experienced via houseboat. Once on board your floating accommodations, try your hand at all the water sports: swimming, water skiing, fishing, jet skiing, and more, all with regal Mount Shasta in the background. 1. What can you do in Point Reyes? A. Enjoy fantastic views. B. Visit a natural preserve. C. Climb sharp peaks. D. Try some water sports. 2. What is the best choice for people carrying binoculars and bird field guide? A. Shasta Lake. B. Point Reyes. C. Mono Lake. D. Lost Coast. 3. Where would this passage most probably come from? A. An advertisement B. A travel guide C. An encyclopaedia D. A nature novel B Time magazine has chosen its 2024 Kid of the Year — and it’s Heman Bekele, a teenager who could change the way skin cancer is treated. As a student from Fairfax’s Woodson High School, Bekele divides his time between the classroom and the lab at Johns Hopkins University, where he’s inventing a soap that could one day treat the deadly disease. “I was raised under the thought that I could always ask questions, and be as curious as possible,” Bekele said. “ And this pushed me to the field of science.” Some of Bekele’s earliest memories were seeing farmers work under the terrible heat with no heat protection from the sun’s UV rays in Ethiopia, where he was born. This was one factor that made him tackle skin cancer after he moved to the US. At home, Bekele — who’d entertain himself for hours as a child by mixing together any household products he could get his hands on and seeing what would happen — began wondering how he could help. “ What’s one thing that is an internationally impactful idea, something everyone can use, regardless of socioeconomic class?” Bekele asked himself. “Almost everyone uses soap and water for cleaning. So soap would probably be the best option.” So Bekele began his deliberate trial- and- error process, which led him to learn about a cream- based skin cancer treatment called Imiquimod that did produce desired results — but can cost as much as $180 for the uninsured in America. Inspired by the cream, Bekele designed his affordable soap. Bekele knew he’d need an actual lab to refine his creation. Bekele applied to — and won— the Minnesota- based tech company 3M’s Young Scientist Challenge in 2023, securing$25,000 and the title of “America’s Top Young Scientist”. Now, with the help of Johns Hopkins’ professor and biologist Vito Rebecca, Bekele has been testing the soap on mice at the university’s lab for almost half a year. The soap still has a long way to go: Testing, patenting it and getting FDA certification could take a decade. But even then, Bekele will only be 25 years old. 4. What initially inspired Bekele to come up with his idea to cure skin cancer? A The farmers’ exposure to the hot sun. B. His journey from the classroom to the lab. C. The deadly disease he once suffered from. D. His being named Time’s Kid of the Year. 5. What do we know about Imiquimod? A. It was invented by Bekele. B. Bekele proved its side effects. C It is effective but expensive. D. Bekele produced it for his soap. 6. Why did Bekele participate in the Young Scientist Challenge? A. To meet Professor Vito Rebecca. B. To get support to better his soap. C. To gain the soap patent from 3M. D. To promote ready- made products. 7. What can we learn from Bekele’s story? A. Thinking and action mean potential success. B. Success will get personal desires satisfied. C. Being famous is a great thirst of the young. D. Geniuses tend to get things done creatively. C According to a recent study in the Journal of Consumer Research, both the size and consumption habits of our eating companions can influence our food intake. And contrary to existing research that says you should avoid eating with heavier people who order large portions(份), it's the beanpoles with big appetites you really need to avoid. To test the effect of social influence on eating habits, the researchers conducted two experiments. In the first, 95 undergraduate women were individually invited into a lab to ostensibly(表面上)participate in a study about movie viewership. Before the film began, each woman was asked to help herself to a snack. An actor hired by the researchers grabbed her food first. In her natural state, the actor weighed 105 pounds. But in half the cases she wore a specially designed fat suit which increased her weight to 180 pounds. Both the fat and thin versions of the actor took a large amount of food. The participants followed suit, taking more food than they normally would have. However, they took significantly more when the actor was thin. For the second test, in one case the thin actor took two pieces of candy from the snack bowls. In the other case, she took 30 pieces. The results were similar to the first test: the participants followed suit but took significantly more candy when the thin actor took 30 pieces. The tests show that the social environment is extremely influential when we're making decisions. If this fellow participant is going to eat more, so will I. Call it the “I’ll have what she's having” effect. However, we'll adjust the influence. If an overweight person is having a large portion, I'll hold back a bit because I see the results of his eating habits. But if a thin person eats a lot, I'll follow suit. If he can eat much and keep slim, why can't I? 8. What is the recent study mainly about? A. Food safety. B. Movie viewership. C. Consumer demand. D. Eating behavior. 9. What does the underlined word “beanpoles” in paragraph 1 refer to? A. Big eaters. B. Overweight persons. C. Picky eaters. D. Tall thin persons. 10. Why did the researchers hire the actor? A. To see how she would affect the participants. B. To test if the participants could recognize her. C. To find out what she would do in the two tests. D. To study why she could keep her weight down. 11. On what basis do we “adjust the influence” according to the last paragraph? A. How hungry we are. B. How slim we want to be. C. How we perceive others. D. How we feel about the food. D Flowers have a longstanding tradition as a means of emotional expression. When we wish to convey our affection, joy or condolences (哀悼), and words won’t work, we rely on the beauty of the flowers. One of the most famous examples of floriography (花艺) is King Charles’ choice of funeral wreath for his mother, the late Queen. He expressed his sense of loss through his choice of blooms: Myrtle (香桃木) for love and prosperity, paired with English oak to represent strength. How floriography influences our decisions has led florists to make some interesting observations. First, they documented that 29 percent of people chose flowers based on the color of the bouquet, with red being the most popular choice. Red is the color of passion and is widely regarded as an expression of love. However, pink has sumless meanings, depending on where you live: in Thailand, it symbolizes trust, while in Japan, it is considered a sign of good health. However, this only begins to scratch the surface of floriography. But like all things in the world, there are good and bad, and some flowers are used to represent negative feelings toward the recipient. You might think yellow carnations are pretty, but they’ve been a symbol of defiance (蔑视) throughout history. Another flower best avoided is buttercup, whose yellow petals symbolize childishness. By welcoming the tradition of floriography back into wider culture, we can explore the depth of our emotions in unique ways. Take a look at our beloved emojis — we can talk without typing a single word. Sending a heart here and a fire icon emojis there speaks through their aesthetics, a secret language all their own. Flowers are no different. They were merely the emojis of the19th Century, still filtering through after all this time. 12. What is the author’s purpose in referring to the example of King Charles? A. To prove flowers to be expressive. B. To introduce the topic of the passage. C. To arouse the readers’ interest in flowers. D. To present some knowledge of flowers. 13. What can be inferred from Paragraph 4? A. Sending flowers was historically disapproved of. B. Buttercup was suitable flowers for giving to children. C. Giving flowers often leads to some misunderstandings. D. A second thought should be given to flowers to be sent. 14. How does the author make his point about flowers in the last paragraph? A. By listing some representative emojis. B. By recognizing the popularity of emojis. C. By borrowing the similar features of emojis. D. By mentioning the similar history of emojis. 15. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. The Traditional Art of Giving Flowers B. The Emotional Expression in Flowers C Social Functions of Some Flowers D. Interesting Observation of Flowers 第二节 （共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 During the summer, a lot of people enjoy traveling, vacationing, and taking outdoor adventures when the weather is warm and comfortable. If you’re somewhere new or unfamiliar, it’s always good to get a proper idea of your surroundings. ___16___ The next time you are out exploring with your friends or family, keep an eye out for purple fence posts. What Does a Purple Fence Mean? The purple paint laws vary from state to state, but generally, a purple fence means no trespassing (擅自进入). While property owners may still choose to use “No Trespassing” signs, the signs are likely to be damaged or worn out over time. ___17___ It can also be easily applied to different land markers. In addition to purple fence posts, you might even see purple trees. This practice is particularly useful in rural areas where property lines can be vast and not always clearly defined. The distinct color serves as a universal sign of private property, easily recognizable even from a distance. ___18___ It is a color that stands out against the natural landscape, reducing the likelihood of accidental trespassing. How to Use Purple Paint on Your Fence? ___19___ It’s important to note that only about half of the states have regulations specifically regarding purple fence laws. Here are a few tips to get you started. Before you begin painting, ensure you have the right materials and understand the specific requirements for the application. Any paint will work if you’re using it on a fence, but use latex or spray paint for trees. ___20___ Correct application not only obeys the law, but also serves as a clear and effective warning against trespassing. So, the next time you come across a purple fence, remember to respect its message and appreciate the wisdom behind this colorful boundary marker. A. It may be full of danger. B. As you know, safety always comes first. C. Moreover, the use of purple is advantageous. D. A coat of purple paint has lasting effect, though. E. The color purple is the favourite of some people. F. To paint your fence purple, familiarize yourself with the local laws. G. Make sure your paint is clearly visible and marks the correct boundary. 第三部分 语言知识运用（共4节，满分50分） 第一节 完形填空 （共15小题； 每小题1分，满分15分） After the birth of my second child, I got a job at a restaurant.

As a student from Fairfax’s Woodson High School, Bekele divides his time between the classroom and the lab at Johns Hopkins University, where he’s inventing a soap that could one day treat the deadly disease. “I was raised under the thought that I could always ask questions, and be as curious as possible,” Bekele said. “ And this pushed me to the field of science.” Some of Bekele’s earliest memories were seeing farmers work under the terrible heat with no heat protection from the sun’s UV rays in Ethiopia, where he was born. This was one factor that made him tackle skin cancer after he moved to the US. At home, Bekele — who’d entertain himself for hours as a child by mixing together any household products he could get his hands on and seeing what would happen — began wondering how he could help. “ What’s one thing that is an internationally impactful idea, something everyone can use, regardless of socioeconomic class?” Bekele asked himself. “Almost everyone uses soap and water for cleaning. So soap would probably be the best option.” So Bekele began his deliberate trial- and- error process, which led him to learn about a cream- based skin cancer treatment called Imiquimod that did produce desired results — but can cost as much as $180 for the uninsured in America. Inspired by the cream, Bekele designed his affordable soap. Bekele knew he’d need an actual lab to refine his creation. Bekele applied to — and won— the Minnesota- based tech company 3M’s Young Scientist Challenge in 2023, securing$25,000 and the title of “America’s Top Young Scientist”. Now, with the help of Johns Hopkins’ professor and biologist Vito Rebecca, Bekele has been testing the soap on mice at the university’s lab for almost half a year. The soap still has a long way to go: Testing, patenting it and getting FDA certification could take a decade. But even then, Bekele will only be 25 years old. 4. What initially inspired Bekele to come up with his idea to cure skin cancer? A. The farmers’ exposure to the hot sun. B. His journey from the classroom to the lab. C. The deadly disease he once suffered from. D. His being named Time’s Kid of the Year. 5. What do we know about Imiquimod? A. It was invented by Bekele. B. Bekele proved its side effects. C. It is effective but expensive. D. Bekele produced it for his soap. 6. Why did Bekele participate in the Young Scientist Challenge? A. To meet Professor Vito Rebecca. B. To get support to better his soap. C. To gain the soap patent from 3M. D. To promote ready- made products. 7. What can we learn from Bekele’s story? A. Thinking and action mean potential success. B. Success will get personal desires satisfied. C. Being famous is a great thirst of the young. D. Geniuses tend to get things done creatively. 【答案】4. A 5. C 6. B 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了Heman Bekele发明了一种可能有助于对抗皮肤癌的肥皂。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Some of Bekele’s earliest memories were seeing farmers work under the terrible heat with no heat protection from the sun’s UV rays in Ethiopia, where he was born. This was one factor that made him tackle skin cancer after he moved to the US.( Bekele最早的记忆是在他出生的Ethiopia，看到农民在可怕的高温下工作，没有隔热措施来抵御太阳的紫外线。这是他移居美国后应对皮肤癌的一个因素。)”可知，是看农民在太阳下暴晒工作从而导致他想要来找出办法治疗皮肤癌。故选A。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“So Bekele began his deliberate trial- and- error process, which led him to learn about a cream- based skin cancer treatment called Imiquimod that did produce desired results — but can cost as much as $180 for the uninsured in America.(因此Bekele就开始了深思熟虑的试验-错误-再试验的过程，这也就让他了解了一种名为Imiquimod的以奶油为基础的皮肤癌的治疗方法，它的确产生了预期的效果，但它的成本却高达180美元。)”可知，Imiquimod是有效果的，但价格很贵。故选C。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Bekele knew he’d need an actual lab to refine his creation. Bekele applied to — and won— the Minnesota- based tech company 3M’s Young Scientist Challenge in 2023(Bekele知道他需要一个真正的实验室来完善他的创造，Bekele在2023年申请并赢得了Minnesota科技公司3M青年科学家挑战赛。)”可推知，Bekele参加去青年科学挑战赛是为了可以有实验室来完善他的肥皂发明，故是为了得到支持从而进一步完善肥皂。故选B。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Time magazine has chosen its 2024 Kid of the Year — and it’s Heman Bekele, a teenager who could change the way skin cancer is treated.(《时代》杂志评选出了“2024年最佳儿童”——一位青少年，他可能会改变癌症的治疗方法。)”以及后文对Heman Bekele发明了一种可能有助于对抗皮肤癌的肥皂的介绍可知，文章主要通过对青少年Heman Bekele发明抗癌肥皂的故事的描写，从而表达出只要敢想敢行动，不论什么年龄，都能成功。故选A。 C According to a recent study in the Journal of Consumer Research, both the size and consumption habits of our eating companions can influence our food intake. And contrary to existing research that says you should avoid eating with heavier people who order large portions(份), it's the beanpoles with big appetites you really need to avoid. To test the effect of social influence on eating habits, the researchers conducted two experiments. In the first, 95 undergraduate women were individually invited into a lab to ostensibly(表面上)participate in a study about movie viewership. Before the film began, each woman was asked to help herself to a snack. An actor hired by the researchers grabbed her food first. In her natural state, the actor weighed 105 pounds. But in half the cases she wore a specially designed fat suit which increased her weight to 180 pounds. Both the fat and thin versions of the actor took a large amount of food. The participants followed suit, taking more food than they normally would have. However, they took significantly more when the actor was thin. For the second test, in one case the thin actor took two pieces of candy from the snack bowls. In the other case, she took 30 pieces. The results were similar to the first test: the participants followed suit but took significantly more candy when the thin actor took 30 pieces. The tests show that the social environment is extremely influential when we're making decisions. If this fellow participant is going to eat more, so will I. Call it the “I’ll have what she's having” effect. However, we'll adjust the influence. If an overweight person is having a large portion, I'll hold back a bit because I see the results of his eating habits. But if a thin person eats a lot, I'll follow suit. If he can eat much and keep slim, why can't I? 8. What is the recent study mainly about? A. Food safety. B. Movie viewership. C. Consumer demand. D. Eating behavior. 9. What does the underlined word “beanpoles” in paragraph 1 refer to? A. Big eaters. B. Overweight persons. C. Picky eaters. D. Tall thin persons. 10. Why did the researchers hire the actor? A. To see how she would affect the participants. B. To test if the participants could recognize her. C. To find out what she would do in the two tests. D. To study why she could keep her weight down. 11. On what basis do we “adjust the influence” according to the last paragraph? A. How hungry we are. B. How slim we want to be. C. How we perceive others. D. How we feel about the food. 【答案】8. D 9. D 10. A 11. C 【解析】 【分析】本文是说明文。最近的研究表明：我们的饮食伙伴的大小和消费习惯都会影响我们的食物摄入量。文章详述了这个实验的过程。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“According to a recent study in the Journal of Consumer Research, both the size and consumption habits of our eating companions can influence our food intake”可知，根据消费者研究杂志最近的一项研究，我们的饮食伙伴的大小和消费习惯都会影响我们的食物摄入量。因此这项研究是关于饮食行为的。故选D。 【9题详解】 词义猜测题。根据前半句“And contrary to existing research that says you should avoid eating with heavier people who order large portions（份）”可知，现有的研究认为：你应该避免和体重较重、点大份饭菜的人一起吃饭。后半句认为，你真正应该避免的是the beanpoles with big appetites。由contrary to可推断出，画线词和heavier people（超重的人）相反，结合选项，D选项（瘦瘦高高的人）正好和heavier people正好相反。故选D。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段的“To test the effect of social influence on eating habits, the researchers conducted two experiments”可知， 为了测试社会影响对饮食习惯的影响，研究人员进行了两个实验。根据倒数第三段的内容可知，在两个实验中，胖的和瘦的演员都吃了大量的食物。参与者也照做，吃的食物比平常多。 然而，当演员是瘦的时候，参与者们服用的食物更多。由此推断，研究人员雇用演员是为了看看她如何影响参与者。故选A。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“If an overweight person is having a large portion, I’ll hold back a bit because I see the results of his eating habits. But if a thin person eats a lot, I’ll follow suit. If he can eat much and keep slim, why can’t I? ”可知，如果一个超重的人吃很大一份，我会忍住一点，因为我看到了他饮食习惯的结果。但如果一个瘦的人吃很多，我会跟着做。如果他吃得多保持苗条，为什么我不能呢？ 因此推断我们是根据我们对他人的看法（即：如何看待他人）来调整影响的。故选C。 D Flowers have a longstanding tradition as a means of emotional expression. When we wish to convey our affection, joy or condolences (哀悼), and words won’t work, we rely on the beauty of the flowers. One of the most famous examples of floriography (花艺) is King Charles’ choice of funeral wreath for his mother, the late Queen. He expressed his sense of loss through his choice of blooms: Myrtle (香桃木) for love and prosperity, paired with English oak to represent strength. How floriography influences our decisions has led florists to make some interesting observations. First, they documented that 29 percent of people chose flowers based on the color of the bouquet, with red being the most popular choice. Red is the color of passion and is widely regarded as an expression of love. However, pink has sumless meanings, depending on where you live: in Thailand, it symbolizes trust, while in Japan, it is considered a sign of good health. However, this only begins to scratch the surface of floriography. But like all things in the world, there are good and bad, and some flowers are used to represent negative feelings toward the recipient. You might think yellow carnations are pretty, but they’ve been a symbol of defiance (蔑视) throughout history. Another flower best avoided is buttercup, whose yellow petals symbolize childishness. By welcoming the tradition of floriography back into wider culture, we can explore the depth of our emotions in unique ways. Take a look at our beloved emojis — we can talk without typing a single word. Sending a heart here and a fire icon emojis there speaks through their aesthetics, a secret language all their own. Flowers are no different. They were merely the emojis of the19th Century, still filtering through after all this time. 12. What is the author’s purpose in referring to the example of King Charles? A. To prove flowers to be expressive. B. To introduce the topic of the passage. C. To arouse the readers’ interest in flowers. D. To present some knowledge of flowers. 13. What can be inferred from Paragraph 4? A. Sending flowers was historically disapproved of. B. Buttercup was suitable flowers for giving to children. C. Giving flowers often leads to some misunderstandings. D. A second thought should be given to flowers to be sent. 14. How does the author make his point about flowers in the last paragraph? A. By listing some representative emojis. B. By recognizing the popularity of emojis. C. By borrowing the similar features of emojis. D. By mentioning the similar history of emojis. 15. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. The Traditional Art of Giving Flowers B. The Emotional Expression in Flowers C. Social Functions of Some Flowers D. Interesting Observation of Flowers 【答案】12. A 13. D 14. C 15. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了花卉具有表达情感的作用，并列举了一些例子加以说明。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“One of the most famous examples of floriography (花艺) is King Charles’ choice of funeral wreath for his mother, the late Queen. He expressed his sense of loss through his choice of blooms: Myrtle (香桃木) for love and prosperity, paired with English oak to represent strength.(最著名的花艺例子之一是查尔斯国王为他的母亲，已故女王选择的葬礼花圈。他通过选择花朵来表达他的失落感：桃金娘代表爱和繁荣，搭配英国橡木代表力量)”可知，作者引用查理国王的例子的目的是证明花是有表现力的。故选A。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“But like all things in the world, there are good and bad, and some flowers are used to represent negative feelings toward the recipient. You might think yellow carnations are pretty, but they’ve been a symbol of defiance (蔑视) throughout history. Another flower best avoided is buttercup, whose yellow petals symbolize childishness.(但就像世界上所有的事情一样，有好有坏，有些花被用来代表对接受者的负面情绪。你可能认为黄色康乃馨很漂亮，但它们在历史上一直是蔑视的象征。另一种最好避免的花是毛茛，它的黄色花瓣象征着幼稚童心)”可推知，送花应该三思而后行。故选D。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“By welcoming the tradition of floriography back into wider culture, we can explore the depth of our emotions in unique ways. Take a look at our beloved emojis — we can talk without typing a single word. Sending a heart here and a fire icon emojis there speaks through their aesthetics, a secret language all their own. Flowers are no different. They were merely the emojis of the19th Century, still filtering through after all this time.(通过欢迎花艺传统回归到更广泛的文化中，我们可以以独特的方式探索我们的情感深度。看看我们最爱的表情符号吧——我们不用打字就能说话。在这里发送一颗心，在那里发送一个火的图标表情符号，这说明了他们的美学，一种他们自己的秘密语言。花也不例外。它们只不过是19世纪的表情符号，经过这么长时间，它们仍然在渗透)”可知，作者在最后一段通过借用表情符号的相似特征来阐述他关于花的观点。故选C。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Flowers have a longstanding tradition as a means of emotional expression. When we wish to convey our affection, joy or condolences (哀悼), and words won’t work, we rely on the beauty of the flowers.(鲜花作为情感表达的一种方式有着悠久的传统。当我们想要表达我们的感情、喜悦或哀悼时，语言无法表达，我们就依靠美丽的花朵)”结合文章主要说明了花卉具有表达情感的作用，并列举了一些例子加以说明。由此可知，B选项“花中的情感表达”最符合文章标题。故选B。 第二节 （共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 During the summer, a lot of people enjoy traveling, vacationing, and taking outdoor adventures when the weather is warm and comfortable.
