Guadalupe Mountains National Park The most visually striking point here is El Capitan. The massive cliff (悬崖), 2.5 times as tall as the Empire State Building, towers over the rest of the park, which offers you a perfect spot for taking impressive pictures. You can also wander the Salt Basin Dunes, 2,000 acres of shockingly white sands. If you're taking very long hikes, bring plenty of water and some protein-rich snacks. Katahdin Woods and Waters National Monument The Katahdin Woods and Waters National Monument preserves more than 87,500 acres of wild rivers and thick forests. In addition to hiking and camping, Katahdin is a great spot for hunting and fishing. Bring some hiking boots and perhaps trekking poles (登山杖)to cross these rocky forest trails. The park has a day use fee of $5, and the first-come, first-serve campsites cost $8 per night. North Cascades National Park Though the snowy peaks of the North Cascades are dangerous in the winter, it turns into a thick and green park in the warmer months, filled with beautiful mountain valleys and clear lakes. You can take a guided nature hike or go fishing. Winter driving conditions in the North Cascades can be dangerous, due to water, frost, snow, or ice on the roads. Organ Mountains.—Desert Peaks National Monument This is not a national park，but is a national monument. It is home to several rare species of plants and animals，and lava (炫岩)flow. There are excellent chances for hiking, mountain biking, rock climbing, and nature photography, as well as overnight hiking. You can also go primitive camping anywhere in the monument for free. It's highly recommended that you should bring plenty of water and sunscreen, and know your fitness level ahead of time. 1. What may attract a photographer most to go to the first park? A. The steep cliff. B. The low ticket price. C. The towers in the park. D. The particularly white sands. 2. How much should one pay for camping in the second park for 2 days and 1 night? A. $15. B. $18. C. $21. D. $24. 3. Camping in the fourth park, _____________. A. you are only allowed to camp in daytime B. you can only stay one night there for free C. you can feed rare animals D. you should be well-prepared B Ferrell got the standard well wishes on the website on her 53rd birthday, but she got some unusual messages too. One message was from a family in California who had just lost their four-year-old son to cancer. His older brother was heartbroken. Could Ferrell help? That message was exactly what Ferrell was looking for. To celebrate her 53rd, the longtime social service worker had put out a call on her website. She wanted to perform 53 acts of kindness by the end of her birth month! and she needed information on people who could use one. When she got the note about the California family, she sent a wind chime (风铃) with the message “Listen to the wind and know that I am near” carved on it. It now hangs in the four-year-old’s bedroom, where his brother can listen to it whenever he wants. This is not the first time that Ferrell has decided to give gifts for her birthday. For her 47th, she founded Love with Skin On, an organization devoted to doing good deeds. Over the years, Ferrell has reached out and touched over 100 strangers, some found online, others with help from her grandkids. In another act of giving, she shared her favorite creative gift ideas online for others to use. Ferrell pays for everything herself: gift cards and care packages. Her family often gives her some extra birthday cash with a warning not to spend it on anyone else, which she naturally ignores. “I got a couple of gift cards for my birthday this year and was like “YESSS!” It’s Ferrell’s party, and she’ll give if she wants to. 4. Why did Ferrell send the California family a wind chime? A. To bring a message to the family. B. To ask for the needed information. C. To comfort the child who lost his brother. D. To help the child lean about a wind chime. 5. What do we know about Ferrell? A. She began to give gifts at 53. B. She did 53 acts of kindness in total. C. She helped people in trouble in different ways. D. She set up an organization to celebrate her birthday. 6. Which of the following words can best describe Ferrell? A. Gifted and modest. B. Caring and generous. C. Humorous and thoughtful. D. Determined and confident. 7. what can we learn from the text? A. To give is better than to receive. B. A friend in need is a friend indeed. C. God helps those who help themselves. D. Nothing is impossible to a willing heart. C A team of biologists (生物学家) recently studied wildlife in the forests of northern Ecuador. While doing so, they made a surprising discovery: a Mindo harlequin toad (明多斑足蟾). The creature hadn’t been seen alive in 30 years. The scientists couldn’t believe their eyes. “It took our brains a while to believe it was a Mindo harlequin toad,” says Melissa Costales, a conservation biologist from University of New Brunswick. The Mindo harlequin is the latest harlequin toad species “to come back from the dead,” says Costales. Since 2003, eight others have been found, three of them in Ecuador. Until recently, 13 of the 25 species of harlequin toads in Ecuador had gone unseen since the 1980s or early 1990s. Scientists thought most of them had been killed by a disease called chytrid (壶菌). This illness is especially harmful to the harlequin toad. Costales says the Mindo harlequin toad may have developed a resistance (抵抗力) to the disease. That would explain the toad’s reappearance. And it could spell good news for other harlequins. Since discovering the first one, Costales’s team has found five more. They were all tested for chytrid. None had the disease. But that doesn’t mean the survival of the species is guaranteed (保证), Costales says. The harlequin toad is still endangered. Costales is developing a conservation plan with a zoology museum in Ecuador. She wants to make sure the Mindo harlequin toad doesn’t fall back into extinction. “Each rediscovery gives us a second chance to develop better conservation plans,” she says. “Not every day do we have the chance to rediscover a species that we believed to be extinct.” 8. Why were the scientists surprised at finding the Mindo harlequin toad? A. It could live for 30 years. B. It had been thought to be extinct. C. It was a foreign species in Ecuador. D. It lived together with other species. 9. What does Costales say about the Mindo harlequin toad? A. It is huge in number. B It might disappear soon. C. It can spread diseases quickly. D. It may have survived chytrid. 10. What does Costales plan to do? A. Treat harlequin toads for chytrid. B. Discover more endangered species. C. Save the Mindo harlequin toad from extinction. D. Take harlequin toads back to the zoology museum. 11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. Lost and Found B. Back to the Wild C. Hope for Animals D. The Known and the Unknown D Eliana Yi dreamed of pursuing (追求) piano performance in college, never mind that her fingers could not reach the length of an octave (八度音阶). Unable to fully play many works by musicians, including Beethoven and Brahms, she tried anyway - and in her determination to spend hours practicing one Chopin composition, she wound up injuring herself. The efforts of Southemn Methodist University (SMU) keyboard studies chair Carol Leone are changing all that: Twenty years ago, the school became the first major university in the U.S. to make smaller keyboards part of its music program, leveling the playing field for Yi and other piano majors. Leone is familiar with such challenges. She loved classical music and pursued piano despite her small hand span (跨度). A few years after joining SMU in 1996, the pianist read an article in Piano and Keyboard magazine about smaller keyboards. As Leone would later write, the discovery would completely change her life. In 2000, she received money to fit a smaller keyboard to a piano, and the benefits were clear. She said it gave those with smaller spans the ability to play classical compositions. Smaller keyboards have given many new confidence. The idea of smaller keyboards first met resistance (抵制) from some traditionalists. Leone mentioned a professor having to study composition at a music school where she was pursuing performance, because her hand span wasn’t wide enough. Leone also said that when she raised the subject of small keyboards with one professor, he told her there were already too many pianists anyway. Though such resistance is gradually disappearing, “there are some very traditional people who believe there should be one standard,” Leone said. “They’re people who think of piano as a competitive thing-like it’s a sports tool. But this is art; it’s not a sport. It’s about making as much beautiful art as possible, and we should allow everybody to do that.” 12. What was Eliana Yi’s problem when playing the piano? A. Her fingers’ reach was too small. B. An injury limited her performance. C. She disliked working with others. D. The works she played were difficult. 13. What did Carol Leone think changed her life? A The money from her school. B. The course she took in her school. C. Her family’s encouragement. D. The discovery of smaller keyboards. 14. What did Carol Leone do in 2000? A. She had a piano changed. B. She graduated from college. C. She started to work in SMU. D. She took part in a competition. 15. What can we infer from Carol Leone’s words in the last paragraph? A. Piano is as competitive as sport. B. Piano doesn’t require great talent. C. Smaller keyboards have not been fully accepted yet. D. Smaller keyboards are more popular among young people. 第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 3 分，满分 15 分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Knowing that parents can make a difference for their children by limiting screen use, what can you do?
