Best for a national park pilgrimage:Banff Canada's first national park,Banff sits in the palm of the snow-dusted Rocky Mountains and has drawn travellers to its natural hot springs since it first opened in 1885.Those mineral baths also inspired the construction of the Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel,a 135-year-old,Scottish baronial-style castle.The action here centres around the skiing town of Banff,but the mountains are home to wildlife such as moose and grizzly bears. 高二英语第3页（共12页） Best for wildlife:Jasper 90 irw n xbal blo时2e地利 Banff's northern,lesser-visited neighbour,Jasper,is double its size and the largest national park in the Canadian Rockies.A hiker's region of wild peaks,it's hard not to bump into wildlife here.Elk,big horn sheep,and wolves are abundant.Time your visit for spring or autumn when wildlife-watching is at its peak.Non-hikers can enjoy cable-rides for valley views and star-gazing at night-Jasper is the second-largest Dark Sky Preserve,in the world. 21.What makes Gros Morne National Park attractive geologically? ogasa;bib ien A.The availability of camping. 4e412日 15g2A B.The Tablelands,an ancient plateau.

B When I was a little girl,I liked drawing,freely and joyously making marks on the walls at home.In primary school,I learned to write using chalks.Writing seemed to be another form of drawing.I shaped individual letters into repeating lines,which were abstract forms,delightful but meaningless patterns. In secondary school art was my favourite subject.Since I loved it so much I thought I was good at it.For the art standardized()exam I had to present an oil painting.I found it difficult,but still hoped to pass.I failed,with a low grade.I'd been over-confident.Now I'd been declared talentless But other channels of creativity stayed open:I went on writing poems and stories.Still,I went to exhibitions often.I continued my habitual drawing,which I now characterised as childish doodling ()In my 30s,I made painter friends and learned new ways of looking at art. However,I couldn't let myself have a go at actually doing it.Though these new friends were abstract painters using oil paints,or were printmakers or sculptors,I took oil painting as the taboo (high form I wasn't allowed to practice. 高二英语第4页（共12页） One night,in my early 40s,I dreamed that a big woman in red approached me,handed me a bag of paints,and told me to start painting.The dream felt so convincing that it shook me.It was a form of energy,giving me back something I'd lost.Accordingly,I started by experimenting with water colours.Finally,I bought some oil paints. Although I have enjoyed breaking my decades-long taboo about working with oil paints,I have discovered I now prefer chalks and ink.I let my line drawings turn into cartoons I send to friends.It all feels free and easy.Un-anxious.This time around,I can accept my limitations but keep going. Becoming a successful painter calls for being determined.I realised I was always afraid of wanting too much.That dream reminded me that those fears and desires could encourage me to take risks and make experiments. 24.What did the author think of her drawing before the standardised exam? A.Discouraging. B.Meaningless C.Satisfying. D.Empowering. 25.In her 30s,the author A.avoided oil painting practice B.searched for a painting career C.took oil painting seriously D.began water colours as a hobby 26.What attracted the author to oil paintings at last? A.Her ambition.B.Her dream. C.Her grade. D.Her taboo. 27.What can we learn from this passage? A.Practice makes perfect. B.It never rains but it pours. C.Dreams are the reflections of realities. D.Strong will can move mountains. Q The UK Antarctic Heritage Trust is looking to hire five people-a base leader,a shop manager,and three general assistants-to work at the "Penguin Post Office"in Port Lockroy, Antarctica.The five-month project is open to UK residents over the age of 18.It will begin in early October 2024 and last until March 2025. Responsibilities will include organizing the over 80,000 letters and postcards sent by the 18,000 tourists or so.Employees will also help sell postage stamps,run the small gift shop,and look after the aging building.But their most important duty will be to keep track of about 1,500 penguins 0 sd boll09日.3 高二英语第5页（共12页） Exciting as it may sound,the UK Antarctic Heritage Trust warns applicants that the jobs are not for the weak-hearted.Even during summer,temperatures on the icy continent can drop as low as-5C.Additionally,the five people will live in asingle bedroom with a tiny gas-powered kitchen.They will use a camping toilet,which must be emptied daily.

Sadek led a collaboration between international experts to investigate whether heart muscles can regenerate.The project began with tissue from artificial heart patients provided by colleagues at the University of Utah Health and School of Medicine.The investigators found that patients with artificial hearts regenerated muscle cells at more than six times the rate of healthy hearts. "This is the strongest evidence we have,so far,that human heart muscle cells can actually regenerate,which really is exciting,because it strengthens the thought that there is an intrinsic capacity of the human heart to regenerate naturally,"Sadek said."It also strongly supports the view that the inability of the heart muscle to'rest'is a major driver of the heart's lost ability to regenerate shortly after birth.""It's not clear why some patients respond and some don't,but it' s very clear that the ones who respond have the ability to regenerate heart muscle,"he said."The exciting part now is to determine how we can make everyone a responder,because if you can, you can essentially cure heart failure.The beauty of this is that a mechanical heart is not a therapy we hope to deliver to our patients in the future-these devices are tried and true,and we've been using them for years." Next,Sadek wants to figure out why only about 25%of patients are "responders"to artificial hearts,meaning that their heart muscle regenerates. 32.What is the significance of the new finding according to the first paragraph? A.To help doctors implant artificial hearts in operations. B.To assist researchers to develop artificial heart muscle. C.To help find approaches to treating and even curing heart failure. D.To assist scientists to find new ways to regenerate heart muscle. 33.What is the only treatment for advanced heart failure besides a transplant? A.To implant an artificial heart to replace pump B.To help the heart pump blood through the body C.To regenerate the heart muscle by taking medicine D.To replace patients'hearts with real human hearts. 高二英语第7页（共12页） 34.What does the underlined word"intrinsic"in paragraph 4 probably mean? A.Endangered. B.Acquired. C.Inborn. D.Implanted. 35.What will Sadek study next? A.To figure out why the human heart fails to rest. B.To develop a new artificial heart for"responders". C.To find the best cure for heart failure for"responders". D.To work out why heart muscle regenerates merely in some patients 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人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为 多余选项。 Learning a foreign language is crucial,yet many individuals consider it impossible to master another tongue.As someone fluent in 10 languages,I can witness the advantages of bilingualism. 36.Initially,it's essential to dispel()four prevalent misconceptions about acquiring new languages. Learning a new language can be tough. (0数节两共)已 The truth is that it's only hard if you don't really want to learn.It takes some time,but it's not really complicated.The main things you need to do are listen and read.37.I've done it lots of times.Before you know it,you'll feel really proud of yourself for understanding another language. 38 Nonsense.As a matter of fact,whoever wants to learn can learn.In Sweden and Holland most people speak more than one language.They can't just all be gifted at languages.Foreign athletes in North America usually learn to speak English faster than people in more formal learning environments.In language learning it is attitude,not aptitude,that determines success. You have to live where the language is spoken. Some immigrants to North America never learn to speak more than halting(结结巴巴的) English. 39 In 1968,I learned to speak Mandarin fluently while living in Hong Kong,where few people spoke it.With the Internet,language content is available to anyone with a computer,and you can download it to your iPod and listen.Where you live is not an obstacle. 高二英语第8页（共12页） Only children can learn to speak another language well. Recent brain research has demonstrated that our brains remain active well into old age. Adults who lose their eyesight have to learn a new language,braille.They have already had a wide vocabulary in their native language.40 The only thing they need is just the willingness to have a shot. A.Trust me,it's really straightforward B.However,they found it tough to learn the new language. p h C.You need to have a natural talent for picking up languages D.We just need to change our approach to learning languages. E.Therefore,they are more likely to be better at the language than kids. F.You must attend formal classes for language learning instruction.
