Here are some national parks where visitors can enjoy varieties of wildlife.
Acadia National Park, Maine
The Atlantic Ocean meets the cliff-lined Maine coast at this popular park, providing habitat for wildlife with feet and flippers. From the shore, scan the water for marine life like sharks or gray seals (海豹). On land, you might spot beavers, snowshoe hares, or bobcats. In between, in the intertidal zone, tide pools hold translucent anemones, sea urchins, snails, and sea stars.
Cuyahoga Valley National Park, Ohio
The park is a mixed ecosystem of oak-hickory forest, meadows, and wetlands sheltering a variety of animals. You can see water-loving mammals or snapping turtles. More than 200 species of bird live or migrate through the park, including nesting peregrine falcons and bald eagles.
Pinnacles National Park, California
Nearly being in extinction in the 1980s, the number of mighty California condors (秃鹰) now increases again over volcanic peaks. Intense recovery efforts, including a captive breeding (圈养繁殖) program, have brought a significant increase of the population, which was just 22in 1982. If you have binoculars, you’ll have a good chance of seeing condors flying in the mornings and evenings. Others include golden eagles, peregrine falcons and bees.
Dry Tortugas National Park, Florida
Contrary to its name, water makes up 99 percent of this park. Visitors can see five species of endangered sea turtles nest on the beaches or swimming. Book a snorkeling to explore the reefs, where green sea turtles, nurse sharks, and decorator crabs live am id corals. Divers can also access the Windjammer Wreck site, where a ship that sank (沉没) in 1907 provides a home for marine life.
1. When introducing wildlife, the author divides the Acadia National Park into __________.
A. two areas B. three areas C. four areas D. five areas
2. How does the California condor increase its population?
A. With another country’s technical support.
B. By hunting for food on volcanic peaks.
C With the assistance of human beings.
D. By competing with new species.
3. In which park can visitors see a sunk ship?
A. Acadia National Park. B. Cuyahoga Valley National Park.
C. Pinnacles National Park. D. Dry Tortugas National Park.

When Emanuel received an email from Professor Richard English, Queen’s Pro-Vice-Chancellor at the School of History, Anthropology, Philosophy and Politics, encouraging him to apply for a PhD in Polities in Belfast it was a pinch-me moment Emanual never thought would be possible. After all, just a few short years ago, he was living on the streets, couch-surfing at friends’ houses and weeding gardens to make ends meet. Now, one of the world’s leading political academics was preparing to welcome him to Queen’s University, over 4,000 miles away.
Emanuel never knew who his father was and his mom was mentally ill when she gave birth to him, so the hospital took him off her and he was unofficially adopted for the first few years of his life. What followed was a childhood with uncertainty as Emanuel was passed between the adoption system and family members.
Through his high school and community college years, he moved from house to house, living with friends at times and living on the streets at others.
Determined to change all that, despite his rocky start in life; Emanuel involved himself in school - doing everything he could to earn extra tuition money in his spare time. But getting accepted into university was scarcely possible because a person like him couldn’t get a regular student loan.
Fortunately, the government backed him, having created a policy allowing disadvantaged persons to access funding for higher education. He graduated from the University of the West Indies with a 1st Class Honours degree and went on to do his Masters.
Emanuel knows that his story could have been very different. “I discovered Professor Richard English online and sent him an email honestly, not thinking he would reply, and to my surprise, he did. I applied for the highly competitive Commonwealth Shared Scholarship Scheme in order to fund my research at Queen’s. When I was told I was successful, my whole world changed.”
4. What does the underlined word “pinch-me” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?
A. Expected. B. Unbelievable. C. Awkward. D. Anxious.
5. What happened to EmanueI in his childhood?
A. He was once adopted by his relatives. B. He was abandoned by his mother.
C. Hy’ s father was mentally ill. D. The lived with his friends now and then.
6. How did Emanuel afford his university education?
A. By receiving a regular student loan.
B. By earning the tuition all by himself.
C By borrowing the money from friends.
D. By getting the support from the government.
7. What can we learn from Emanuel’s story?
A. Well begun is half done. B. It’s never too old to learn.
C. You are the master of your life. D. Lost time is never found again.
C
Trees take carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and store it in complex molecules (分子), releasing oxygen. The more photosynthesis (光合作用), the more carbon is locked away.
Carbon dioxide is a major driver of climate change, so the more that can be taken out of the atmosphere by plants, the better. With the warmer climate leading to a longer growing season, some researchers have suggested that more carbon dioxide would be absorbed by trees and other plants than in previous times. But a new study has changed this theory and could have profound effects on how we adapt to climate change.
The researchers at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology studied the degree to which the timing of colour changes in autumn tree leaves was determined by the growth of the plants in the previous spring and summer.
Using data from the Pan European Phenology Project, which has tracked some trees for as long as 65 years, the researchers found in their long-term observational study that as the rate of photosynthesis increased, leaves changed colour and fell earlier in the year. For every 10% increase in photosynthetic activity over the spring and summer growing season, trees shed their leaves, on average, eight days earlier.
This research shows that deciduous (每年落叶的) trees can only absorb a set amount of carbon each year and once that limit is reached, no more can be absorbed. At that point, leaves begin to change colour. This limit is set by the availability of nutrients, particularly nitrogen (氮气), and the physical structure of the plant itself, particularly the inner vessels which move water and dissolved nutrients around. Nitrogen is a key nutrient which plants need in order to grow, and it’s often the amount of available nitrogen that limits total growth. This is why farmers and gardeners use nitrogen fertilisers (肥料) to overcome this limitation.
It suggests that by 2100, when tree growing seasons are expected to be between 22 and 34 days longer, leaves will fall from trees between three and six days earlier than they do now.
8. What can we know from the first two paragraphs?
A. More carbon dioxide has been absorbed by plants than before.
B. Higher temperature has an influence on plants’ growing season.
C. Climate change can be solved naturally through photosynthesis.
D. Plants can give off oxygen and molecules through photosynthesis.
9. How many days earlier may leaves averagely fall with 20% increase in photosynthesis?
A. Eight days. B. Sixteen days. C. Twenty-eight days. D. Thirty-four days.
10. What does the underlined word “vessels” mean in Paragraph 5?
A Basins. B. Wells. C. Containers D. Channels.
11. What does the author mainly intend to inform us?
A. Nitrogen is an essential nutrient for plant growing.
B. Warmer climate contributes to longer growing season.
C. Farmers use fertilizers to increase the growth of plants.
D. The amount of carbon plants absorb is limited in a year.
D
Manchester City are the current champions of the English Premier League, and now they’re championing the cause of landfill waste by offering edible (可食用的) coffee and tea cups at their 55,000 seater Etihad Stadium. They played their first home match of the season, drumming Norwich City 5-0 while producing 0 pounds of disposable (一次性的) hot drinks cups — a disaster in a coffee loving country where a shocking 2.5 billion disposable cups are used every year.
“It is the first time that an ‘edible coffee cup’ has been introduced. This fantastic and innovative solution provides an amazing solution to waste, just eat your cup,” reads a statement from the Etihad Stadium.
The cup is made by a Scottish startup called BioBite, and is essentially a 100-calorie biscuit in the shape of a cup. Made with wafer (薄脆饼) in much the same way as an ice cream cone,the cup will stay leak-proof for 12 hours, and even more amazingly, crunchy for one-half the duration of a “football” match. According to the company’s website, the cup is fully recyclable, but the taste of coffee-soaked cup is actually delicious.
There are several problems with making an edible coffee cup, however; and it’s why there still isn’t one today in the largest drinking chains.
Edible cups truly might be the best solution, provided firms like BioBite can bring the cost-per-unit down. 240 of their biscuit cups cost $111, about 14 cents more than what Starbucks pays for the cup, the plastic lid, and the wood stirrer.
Another limiting factor is that a wafer is not exactly the fuel of a healthy society. If there were a company that could make the wafers out of some kind of vegetable fiber, something many western diets are nutritionally short of, then you’re talking about a real revolution.
12. What is the purpose of writing the first paragraph?
A To introduce the Manchester City.
B. To arouse the awareness of preserving the environment.
C. To put forward the subject of using edible cups.
D. To cover a football match of Manchester City.
13. Which is true about the third paragraph?
A. The popularity of the cup. B. The advantages of the cup.
C. The ways of using the cup. D. The process of making the cup.
14. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. Western diets are short of nutrition.
B. Wafers are made from vegetable fibers.
C. The revolution for making cups is carried on.
D. Western eating habits need improving.
15. What is the author’s attitude to the edible coffee cup?
A. Stubborn. B. Carefree. C. Supportive. D. Objective.

Peter a 5-year-old boy, showed such great interest in sea shells that he would rush to pick them up with his 3-year-old sister, Shirley. They screamed out their joy as Peter collected his treasure into his pockets. For Peter, sea shells lay shining on the peaceful beach, waiting for him, just like stars twinkling (闪烁) in the sky. As waves touched them, they seemed to be flowers blooming (绽放) in gentle wind.
One day, Peter was wandering through market with Shirley, with some shells in his pocket. Suddenly Peter found his younger sister was lagging (落后) behind. He stopped and looked back, finding Shirley was standing in front of a toy shop and was staring at something with great interest.
The boy went back to her and asked, “What do you want?” Shirley pointed at the doll, wearing a smile on her innocent face. Peter held his younger sister’s tiny hand, walking into the shop. He tiptoed (踮起脚尖) to reach for the doll, and like a responsible elder brother, gave the precious doll to Shirley. Holding tightly the doll, the sister was very happy.
The shop keeper was watching everything and getting amused to see the matured behavior of the boy. Now the boy came to the counter and asked the shopkeeper, “How much does this doll cost, Sir?”
The shopkeeper was a cool man, who had suffered from something in his life. So he asked the boy with love and affection, “Well, what can you pay?” Peter reached into his clothes for money that was intended for these two little guys’ breakfast. Having counted the money, Peter put it carefully on the counter, asking again, “Sir, is it enough for my little sister’s doll?”
The amusing scene just in front of the shopkeeper eventually brought a smile on his face. Shaking his head slightly, he replied, “My boy, I am afraid it seems not to be enough.”

【答案】8. B 9. B 10. D 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。这篇文章分析了树木吸收二氧化碳的能力以及气候变暖对树木生长季节的影响。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“With the warmer climate leading to a longer growing season, some researchers have suggested that more carbon dioxide would be absorbed by trees and other plants than in previous times. (随着气候变暖导致生长季节变长,一些研究人员认为,树木和其他植物吸收的二氧化碳将比以前更多。)”可知,高温对植物的生长季节有影响。故选B。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“For every 10% increase in photosynthetic activity over the spring and summer growing season, trees shed their leaves, on average, eight days earlier. (在春季和夏季生长季节,光合作用活动每增加10%,树木平均提前8天落叶。)”可知,在光合作用增加20%的情况下,树叶平均提前落下的天数是28=16天。故选B。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据倒数第二段“This limit is set by the availability of nutrients, particularly nitrogen (氮气), and the physical structure of the plant itself, particularly the inner (这一限制是由营养物质,特别是氮的可用性和植物本身的物理结构决定的,特别是内部的)”和“move water and dissolved nutrients around (移动水和溶解的营养物质)”可知,植物的内部移动水和溶解的营养物质的是导管,划线词所在句子表示“这个限制是由营养物质,特别是氮的可用性和植物本身的物理结构决定的,特别是内部的导管,它在周围移动水和溶解的营养物质”,划线词的意思是“导管”,和channels意思相近,故选D。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据倒数第二段“This research shows that deciduous (每年落叶的) trees can only absorb a set amount of carbon each year and once that limit is reached,no more can be absorbed. (这项研究表明,落叶树每年只能吸收一定量的碳,一旦达到这个限度,就不能再吸收了。)”可知,本文主要想告诉我们植物一年吸收的碳量是有限的。故选D。
D
Manchester City are the current champions of the English Premier League, and now they’re championing the cause of landfill waste by offering edible (可食用的) coffee and tea cups at their 55,000 seater Etihad Stadium. They played their first home match of the season, drumming Norwich City 5-0 while producing 0 pounds of disposable (一次性的) hot drinks cups — a disaster in a coffee loving country where a shocking 2.5 billion disposable cups are used every year.
“It is the first time that an ‘edible coffee cup’ has been introduced. This fantastic and innovative solution provides an amazing solution to waste, just eat your cup,” reads a statement from the Etihad Stadium.
The cup is made by a Scottish startup called BioBite, and is essentially a 100-calorie biscuit in the shape of a cup. Made with wafer (薄脆饼) in much the same way as an ice cream cone,the cup will stay leak-proof for 12 hours, and even more amazingly, crunchy for one-half the duration of a “football” match. According to the company’s website, the cup is fully recyclable, but the taste of coffee-soaked cup is actually delicious.
There are several problems with making an edible coffee cup, however; and it’s why there still isn’t one today in the largest drinking chains.
Edible cups truly might be the best solution, provided firms like BioBite can bring the cost-per-unit down. 240 of their biscuit cups cost $111, about 14 cents more than what Starbucks pays for the cup, the plastic lid, and the wood stirrer.
Another limiting factor is that a wafer is not exactly the fuel of a healthy society. If there were a company that could make the wafers out of some kind of vegetable fiber, something many western diets are nutritionally short of, then you’re talking about a real revolution.
12. What is the purpose of writing the first paragraph?
A. To introduce the Manchester City.
B. To arouse the awareness of preserving the environment.
C. To put forward the subject of using edible cups.
D. To cover a football match of Manchester City.
13. Which is true about the third paragraph?
A. The popularity of the cup. B. The advantages of the cup.
C. The ways of using the cup. D. The process of making the cup.
14. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. Western diets are short of nutrition.
B. Wafers are made from vegetable fibers.
C. The revolution for making cups is carried on.
D. Western eating habits need improving.
15. What is the author’s attitude to the edible coffee cup?
A. Stubborn. B. Carefree. C. Supportive. D. Objective.
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. D 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要报道了曼彻斯特城俱乐部提供可食用的咖啡和茶杯以减少土地废弃物,并介绍了这种可食用杯子的制造方法和优缺点。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段中的“They played their first home match of the season, drumming Norwich City 5-0 while producing 0 pounds of disposable (一次性的) hot drinks cups — a disaster in a coffee loving country where a shocking 2.5 billion disposable cups are used every year. (他们进行了本赛季的首场主场比赛,以5比0大胜诺维奇城队,同时没有使用一次性热饮杯——在一个热爱咖啡的国家,这是一个灾难,每年竟然惊人地使用了25亿个一次性杯子。)”可知,第一段指出一场比赛所产生的一次性杯子的数量惊人。而文章第二段““It is the first time that an ‘edible coffee cup’ has been introduced. This fantastic and innovative solution provides an amazing solution to waste, just eat your cup,” reads a statement from the Etihad Stadium. (“这是第一次推出‘可食用咖啡杯’。这个神奇而创新的解决方案为浪费提供了一个惊人的解决方案,只要吃你的杯子,”阿提哈德体育场的一份声明中写道。)”可知,第二段提出本文的主题——可食用咖啡杯。由此可知,第一段的目的是引出本文主题。故选C。
【13题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第三段“the cup will stay leak-proof for 12 hours, and even more amazingly, crunchy for one-half the duration of a “football” match. According to the company’s website, the cup is fully recyclable, but the taste of coffee-soaked cup is actually delicious. (杯子可以保持12小时不漏水,更令人惊讶的是,在一场足球比赛的一半时间里,它还能保持酥脆。根据公司网站的说法,杯子是完全可回收的,但浸泡了咖啡的杯子的味道其实很美味。)”可知,第三段主要讲述了杯子的优点。故选B。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Another limiting factor is that a wafer is not exactly the fuel of a healthy society. If there were a company that could make the wafers out of some kind of vegetable fiber, something many western diets are nutritionally short of, then you’re talking about a real revolution. (另一个限制因素是,薄脆饼并不是一个健康社会的燃料。如果有一家公司可以用某种蔬菜纤维制作薄脆饼,而这种纤维是许多西方饮食中营养所缺乏的,那么你就是在谈论一场真正的革命。)”可推测出,西方饮食中缺乏营养的植物纤维,需要改善西方饮食。故选D。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段主要讲述了杯子的优点;而文章第五段“Edible cups truly might be the best solution, provided firms like BioBite can bring the cost-per-unit down. (如果BioBite这样的公司能够降低单位成本,可食用杯子可能是最好的解决方案。)”以及第六段“Another limiting factor is that a wafer is not exactly the fuel of a healthy society. (另一个限制因素是,薄脆饼并不是健康社会的理想燃料。)”则讲述了这种杯子的缺点。由此可知,作者对这种可食用杯子抱有客观的态度。故选D。

【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了山地水资源的重要性及其对人类及生物多样性的影响,强调了可持续利用这些资源的必要性。
【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:在山区提供的生态系统服务中,供水是最重要的,因为山区有大量的自由流动的水。分析句子结构可知,provide与逻辑主语services构成被动关系,故用过去分词作后置定语。故填provided。
【37题详解】
考查冠词。句意:在山区提供的生态系统服务中,供水是最重要的,因为山区有大量的自由流动的水。most important为最高级,前面应用定冠词。故填the。
【38题详解】
考查形容词。句意:在人类进步的经济和社会背景下,山区水资源的可持续利用对人类和全球山区生物多样性都很重要。修饰名词context应用形容词social,作定语。故填social。
【39题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:应特别注意来自山区的水资源。分析句子结构可知,空处为非谓语动词,come与逻辑主语the water resources构成主动关系,故用现在分词作后置定语。故填coming。
【40题详解】
考查副词。句意:可持续性以前被用作一个术语来描述与未来保护自然资源有关的问题。修饰动词use,应用副词previously。故填previously。
【41题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:人的发展与管理资源的需要之间的关系构成了设计关于环境需要的对话的原则。短语the need to do sth.表示“做某事的需要”,用动词不定式作后置定语。故填to manage。
【42题详解】
考查时态语态。句意:到目前为止,发表的关于山区水资源利用和可持续性的研究数量有限。主语a limited number of studies与谓语publish构成被动关系,故需用被动语态:be+过去分词;根据上文so far可知,此处为现在完成时,要用现在完成时的被动语态have/has+动词过去分词,主语为a limited number of studies,助动词用复数形式have。故填have been published。
【43题详解】
考查介词。句意:大多数研究都集中在洪水或干旱期间的预防、调水和山区蓄水方面。短语focus on表示“关注于,集中于”,固定短语。故填on。
【44题详解】
考查名词的数。句意:然而,从技术角度和作为实际可持续解决办法的组成部分来看,对用水的洞察以及采用最先进的技术都是非常重要的。“solution (解决方案)”为可数名词,前文没有冠词等限定词,故此处应用复数形式。故填solutions。
【45题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:学者、政策制定者和决策者之间的相互作用对于扩大山区的科学知识和以更可持续的方式利用水资源的方式是重要的。分析句子结构可知,此处为“介词+关系代词”的结构的定语从句,修饰先行词ways,空前有介词in,故关系代词为which。故填which。

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。
Peter a 5-year-old boy, showed such great interest in sea shells that he would rush to pick them up with his 3-year-old sister, Shirley. They screamed out their joy as Peter collected his treasure into his pockets. For Peter, sea shells lay shining on the peaceful beach, waiting for him, just like stars twinkling (闪烁) in the sky. As waves touched them, they seemed to be flowers blooming (绽放) in gentle wind.
One day, Peter was wandering through market with Shirley, with some shells in his pocket. Suddenly Peter found his younger sister was lagging (落后) behind. He stopped and looked back, finding Shirley was standing in front of a toy shop and was staring at something with great interest.
The boy went back to her and asked, “What do you want?” Shirley pointed at the doll, wearing a smile on her innocent face. Peter held his younger sister’s tiny hand, walking into the shop. He tiptoed (踮起脚尖) to reach for the doll, and like a responsible elder brother, gave the precious doll to Shirley. Holding tightly the doll, the sister was very happy.
The shop keeper was watching everything and getting amused to see the matured behavior of the boy. Now the boy came to the counter and asked the shopkeeper, “How much does this doll cost, Sir?”
The shopkeeper was a cool man, who had suffered from something in his life. So he asked the boy with love and affection, “Well, what can you pay?” Peter reached into his clothes for money that was intended for these two little guys’ breakfast. Having counted the money, Peter put it carefully on the counter, asking again, “Sir, is it enough for my little sister’s doll?”
The amusing scene just in front of the shopkeeper eventually brought a smile on his face. Shaking his head slightly, he replied, “My boy, I am afraid it seems not to be enough.”

【答案】例文:
With his eyes fixed on Peter’s pocket, he wondered what Peter would do. Hesitantly taking out the treasured sea shells in his pockets, Peter asked in a low voice, “Sir, can these help cover the cost?” Watching the 5-year-old boy carefully lay down all his shining shells on the counter, the man was somewhat touched, but he just pretended to be counting the shells seriously, “Let me see, one, two…OK. The shells are just enough. You can take the doll and save the money”. Hearing this, Peter felt truly amazed and thanked the shopkeeper, who actually wanted to thank the two little kids, especially when he saw a big smile quickly spread over the little girl’s innocent face. They said goodbye and went out happily with the doll.
Seeing Peter leaving happily with his sister holding the doll tightly, an assistant in that shop got surprised. Since his boss had been in such a low mood recently that he seldom wore any smile and talked much. When the shopkeeper turned around and noticed the assistant’s surprised look, he said smilingly, “lovely kids, aren’t they? When I see the little boy is willing to take all he has to buy a doll for his lovely sister, it really warms my heart.” The assistant replied thoughtfully, “When he grows up, he will remember he purchased a doll for his sister with the shells from a shopkeeper, which will surely warm his heart, too.”
