The Best Hiking near New York City
If you want to go hiking near New York City, you’re in luck. These trails (小径) can meet your needs.
Yellow Trail at Mount Beacon
Consider this 2.5-mile trail if you don’t have enough time. You can go on a quick but difficult hike there that sends you straight up the Mount Beacon. You can take in beautiful views similar to its more popular neighbors there. You can even watch the sunset. To get there, take Metro-North to Beacon and then take a 5-minute walk to the beginning of the trail.
Stairway to Heaven Trail
The trail lies about 50 miles outside the city, but it allows you to get everything you ever wanted in a hike. You’ll get good exercise if you choose the 7.3-mile “Stairway to Heaven”. Take NJ Transit bus route 196 or 197 to Warwick, New York, and it’s just a 10-minute taxi ride to the beginning of the trail.
Camp Smith Trail
This 3.5-mile hike is great for a day trip by yourself. With fairly easy landform (地形), even your four-legged friend can join you on the trail. Take the Metro-North Hudson line to Peekskill Station for free buses or trains to the Bear Mountain Inn. And you can hike up to see unbelievable Hudson Valley view.
Ice Caves and Verkeerderkill Falls Trail
Along the 7-mile trail, you will get through the passages of the Ice Caves and walk past Verkeerderkill Falls. The trail is the highest waterfall trail in the Shawangunks. Take the Short Line bus from New York to nearby Ellenville and then take a 14-minute taxi ride to Sam’s Point Preserve.

When someone asks me what my goals are for the coming year, I don’t usually know how to reply. Of course I, as most people do, want to see an improvement in my grades. This year, however, I’m hoping for something different.
Through the course of my school life, I’ve gradually developed a new understanding of the word “prioritization (优先次序)”. The first thing I wish to get in Senior 1 is the ability to manage my time better. I’ll surely become busier with the coming semester (学期), and proper organization is important. From school clubs to academic competitions, everything should be set up in a way that doesn’t influence my health, which leads me to my second goal.
My mother has always told me put my health first, so in the future, I hope to be both physically and mentally healthy. A person can’t study without having the energy to do so. In order to stay energetic, they must put their health first, no matter how busy they are, or how much work they have to complete.
And finally, I hope that I won’t be discouraged (使气馁) by my failure and never give up on my dreams. I hope that I’ll have the courage to try new activities and clubs. I believe my final goal can apply to every student around the world. We should all respect one another’s likes and dislikes, and focus on each other’s strengths, not our weaknesses. Everyone should try to take part in all of life’s opportunities.
Albert Einstein once said, “Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving. ” In my case, it’s the other way around. In order to keep moving, I must keep my balance (平衡)— the balance between studies and activities, efficiency and procrastination (拖延症), academics and health, passions and dislikes. The new journey is going to be a hard one, but if I establish these goals, I believe I will make it through to the end.
4. During this school year, what does the author hope to do?

5. According to the article, which of the following students should do?
A. Always put their studies first. B. Not be afraid of failing.
C. Only do what they’re good at. D. Make different kinds of friends.
6. What does the underlined word in the last paragraph mean?
A. A strong feeling of dislike B. A strong feeling of anger
C. A strong feeling of love D. A strong feeling of joy
7. What is the author’s purpose of writing this article?
A. Show what she likes about high school life.
B. Stress (强调) the importance of health to students.
C. Show how to balance our studies and activities.
D. Share her goals for the coming high school year.

When people think about improving their physical fitness they often neglect (忽视) balance. Good balance is a necessary part of being physically fit and key to living a long life, according to research. It’s important for everyone, no matter your age.
Older adults are most affected by poor balance. Falls are the leading cause of injury and death for those 65 and older, with nearly 30% in this age group reporting at least one fall in 2018, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. But younger adults frequently fall down, too.
Forty-eight percent of young adults reported falling at least once during one 16-week study. The falls most commonly happened during sports activities, with women in the study reporting more falls and fall-related injuries than men.
Falls within the previous two years were reported by 18% of young adults (ages 20 to 45) in another study published in the journal BMC Public Health. That figure (数据) compared with 21% of middle-aged adults (46 to 65) reporting falls and 35% of those over 65. While falls among young adults were often connected with sports, falls by the middle-aged group were typically related to health problems and physical changes.
Many factors (因素) can affect your balance outside of age, such as vision changes, brain injuries, overweight and a general lack of physical fitness. Even if you have no risk factors, simply neglecting to work regularly on your balance will result in increased instability (不稳定性).
“Our body is conditioned to lose what we don’t regularly use and practice, and balance is no different,” said Susan Baxter.
8. What role does a good balance play in our lives?
A It helps us live a healthy and long life.
B. It enables us to build a perfect shape.
C. It protects us from getting seriously sick.
D. It has the power to make us look young.
9. How does the author show the research results?
A. By having a discussion. B. By following the time order.
C. By raising questions. D. By giving a list of figures.
10. In which situation are young adults likely to fall down?
A. When a health problem comes up. B. When working regularly.
C. When a physical change appears. D. When joining in a sport.
11. What can we learn from what Susan Baxter said?
A. We’ll lose our balance if we don’t practise it often.
B. Our body is used to working in its own way.
C. We should manage our body properly.
D. We are naturally born with balance.

At the foot of Egypt’s Sinai mountains, once a small fishing town, Dahab is now one of the Red Sea’s top diving resorts(潜水圣地), attracting a lot of nature lovers. It also provides a stress-free seaside atmosphere where visitors can just sit back and enjoy its waters. There are affordable accommodations, tour operators, multicultural restaurants and cafes.

The conditions here are perfect for free divers, as well as advanced divers looking to push their limits in a race.
To reduce the traffic here, a local group of divers have created an underwater museum filled with giant statues(雕像) made of recycled materials. The most impressive statue is a life-sized elephant weighing 700 kilograms which has gained the attention of countless tourists.
There are also limitless options in shallower waters for those who want to avoid crowded diving spots. Travelers can hike or ride camels to Ras Abu Galum National Protectorate, which covers 400 square kilometers of coastline and offers a better view of sea life.

【答案】 ①. look ②. forward
【解析】
【详解】考查固定短语和动词时态。句意:生活值得享受,因为我们会期待美好的事物。固定短语look forward to sth./doing sth.表示“期待(做)某事”,符合题干中文提示信息和空后与to搭配;结合前文谓语动词is和句意可知,题干为陈述一个客观事实,故空处也需要用一般现在时态与之保持对应。故填look,forward。
58. It is your duty to be________ ________ (对……负责) the terrible mistake. (根据汉语提示完成句子)

59. See the bottom of this page for details of how to ___________(申请) this exciting offer. (根据汉语提示完成句子)

【答案】Dear Peter,
Hearing from you, I am writing to give you some tips on how to keep healthy.
In my opinion, we should have a balanced diet to build up our strength. Only in this way can we have enough energy. We had better take physical exercise regularly because not only does exercise improve our health but also ensures our satisfying learning efficiency. Besides, we should have enough sleep, which is a healthy lifestyle. In addition, participating in all sorts of after-class activities will benefit us a lot.
Hope the suggestions above can be helpful to you
Sincerely,
Li Hua
