The majestic colours of sugar and red maple trees are best seen in mid-September to mid-October. Aspens, tamaracks and red oak trees, on the other hand, hit their peak in mid-to-late-October. Jasper National Park, Alberta Rugged mountains glaciers, forests and wild rivers make Jasper a perfect fall camping destination. More than 1,200 kilometres of hiking trails showcase a brilliant display of fall colours. Jasper is hone to the world’s largest Dark Sky Preserve, an area free of artificial light pollution, so get ready to enjoy countless stars and constellations with the naked eye at night. Cape Breton Highlands National Park, Nova Scotia Whether you’re coming for the cool ocean air or a unique showcase of fall colours the Cape Breton Highlands will not disappoint. The only sound you’ll hear will be the leaves crunching under your boots when exploring the Cabot Trail. Cold-blooded campers can even try pitching a tent by the sea. If you like back-country camping, go for ‘Fishing Cove.’ Want a large kitchen shelter and flush toilets? Try ‘Maclntosh Brook.’ There’s lots to choose from in these Maritime fall camping destinations. Okanagan Falls Provincial Park, British Columbia You don’t have to be a wine aficionado to appreciate the Okanagan, but it certainly wouldn’t hurt. Fill a tetra park with wine to enjoy while watching the sparkly Okanagan River reflect the beautiful colours of autumn. Wine not your thing? Grab some fresh fruit from one of many orchards instead. And don’t forget to bring your binoculars: The park is a favourite of bird and bat-watchers alike. 1. Which of the following statements is True according to the passage? A.

B A British friend told me he couldn’t understand why Chinese people love eating sunflower seeds (葵花子) as a snack so much. “I’ve met a lot of older Chinese and many have a crack in their front teeth; I believe that’s from cracking the seeds,” he said. I had never noticed the habit, but once he mentioned it, I suddenly became more aware. I realized that whenever I’m watching TV or typing a report, I always start mindlessly cracking sunflower seeds. My friend doesn’t like sunflower seeds, and, to him, it seems unnecessary to work so hard just to get one small seed. When we were young, the whole family would usually get together for Chinese New Year. Then, we all lived close to one another, usually in a small city, and sometimes even neighbors would go door to door on Chinese New Year’s Eve to check out what every household was making. I remember my parents would be in the kitchen cooking. In the living room, a large table would already be laid out, complete with a fancy table cloth, ready — made dumpling fillings, and dishes full of candy, fruits and sunflower seeds. Some of the dishes were to be offered to our ancestors later, while others were for neighbors and children to eat before the evening feast. I must have learned how to crack sunflower seeds back then. I don’t think it’s right to criticize one’s choice in food or eating habits, no. matter how strange they may seem. It’s not only in China. When I went abroad, I found people had all sorts of strange habits when it came to food. In Denmark, they put salted red fish on bread and eat it for dinner, no matter how much it ruins their breath. They think it’s a delicacy, and it’s connected with their culture. I think it’s a wonderful tradition. 4. What lesson can we learn from the passage? A. Eating habits come from a certain culture. B. One kind of food doesn’t necessarily suit everyone. C. It is good to form healthy eating habits. D. Changing your eating habits will change your life. 5. What did the writer become aware of? A. She had ever typed a report about seeds. B. She has a habit of cracking sunflower seeds. C. She ate various snacks while watching TV. D. She damaged her teeth by eating sunflower seeds. 6. What does the writer prove by mentioning Chinese New Year? A. Eating sunflower seeds is related to it. B. Children can eat delicious food on that day. C. The families would get together for it. D. The traditions of celebrating it disappear. C New projects in the Middle Eastern country of Jordan aim to repair damaged land in one of the world’s most water-starved nations. The restoration measures include bringing indigenous plants back to areas where they disappeared, as well as building modern water collection systems.  Local organizations believe the projects will help lessen the effects of land mismanagement and climate change. The efforts seek to slow expanding desertification, which happens when land turns into desert. A United Nations report states that 40 percent of land worldwide is currently degraded. It also predicts that by 2030, 700 million people could be displaced by drought. It blames the problems on land and water mismanagement, poor agricultural methods, mining and city development. Jordan is one of several countries already struggling with the effects of degradation, the report said. But environmentalists in Jordan are already taking steps to prevent further land damage. “We’re working on the water, we’re working on the green cover and we’re working also with the habitats of the creatures, from insects to animals,” said Deyala Tarawneh, who helped create WADI, an organization seeking to repair forests and grasslands and find ways to improve water security in Jordan. “The success rate of these plants is 85 percent, which is considered a very high percentage,” Tarawneh said. “And they only need to be watered once, which is also reducing the amount of water needed for the irrigation of the green areas.” But as WADI’s efforts continue, environmentalists say land restoration in Jordan still faces major difficulties. One of them is a lack of land areas available for restoration. In addition, many people in local communities are not willing to leave the land alone for at least one or two rainy seasons to let it recover. The UN report calls for financial support to strengthen restoration efforts in developing countries. Among other things, it urges the expansion of protected and conservation areas, better water management and improved agricultural methods. But the report also notes that a lack of action could result in up to 16 million square kilometers of land degradation by 2050.That is an area about the size of South America. 7. What does the underlined word “indigenous” in paragraph 1 probably mean? A. Commercial. B. Native. C. Delicate. D. Large. 8. What are the plants introduced to the land like? A. They are salt-tolerant. B. They are heat-resistant. C. They are drought-tolerant. D. They are disease-resistant. 9. Which measure is good for land but unfriendly to people? A. Building water collection systems. B. Adjusting land management systems. C. Leaving the land alone for recovery. D. Turning to traditional agricultural methods. 10. What can be the best title for the text? A. Food crops help improve soil health B. Jordan is facing severe desertification C. Jordan is at higher climate risk with land loss D. Restoration projects offer hope for saving damaged land 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑，选项中有两项为多余选项。 Shyness is a sense of uneasiness and discomfort that some people feel in the presence of others.

In the north of China, dumplings are the typical food, which represent change and good luck. In contrast, in the southern part, it’s a great time to eat tangyuan. They are sticky rice balls with different fillings. Tangyuan sounds like “tuanyuan” in Chinese, which means “family reunion”. When you come to Beijing, Beijing Roast Duck is what you can’t miss. I bet it will be an unforgettable experience for you. Looking forward to meeting you soon!

Her eyes were red from crying, but she managed a small smile as she thanked me for the thoughtful gifts I had sent to Eric. She told me how much the toy panda and the card had lifted his spirits during his hospital stay. I felt a surge of emotion, knowing that my small gestures had made a difference to him. One morning about twenty days later, entering the classroom, I found Eric looking at me with a big smile on his seat. My heart skipped a beat with joy and relief. Eric was back, and it seemed that a part of our class was finally complete. He was thinner, but his smile was as bright as ever. We exchanged a long, tight hug, and he showed me the well-loved toy panda he had brought back with him. The class gathered around, and there was a palpable sense of happiness and unity. It was a moment none of us would forget. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
