We hand selected these sites for you because camping is such an important part of the summer experience in our country. Pacific Rim National Park The main draw: Long Beach is the best Pacific experience—22 kilometres of sand with a horizon that disappears into the ocean. The campsites here sit very close to the ocean. Things to do: Start by exploring the beach. Of course, you can also go for a swim, but be aware that the water is about 10℃. If you’re into surfing, there are almost always waves at Long Beach. Grey whales spend the summer in the waters just offshore, providing whale watching opportunities. Alice Lake Provincial Park The main draw: What this small park lacks in size, it makes up for in location, sitting just north of Squamish — “Canada’s Outdoor Recreation Capital”. Campground paths link into the area’s world-class mountain-biking network. Things to do: You can warm up for Squamish mountain biking with a three-kilometre ride starting just outside the campground. You can also cool off with a swim in Alice Lake or relax on its sandy beaches. And don’t miss Squamish’s Howe Sound restaurant here, you can try their delicious wood-fired pizza. Mount Robson Provincial Park The main draw: There’s no better place to admire the highest mountain in the Canadian Rockies than at the Berg Lake Campground. The campground is located beside a small lake that contains mini icebergs that have broken off from a glacier (冰川) on the mountain above. Things to do: The Berg Lake area has several world-class hikes. The Snowbird Pass hike is a tough 22-kilometre round trip. The lake provides a peaceful and beautiful environment for visitors to boat and enjoy the surrounding mountain scenery. Peter Lougheed Provincial Park The main draw: This camping area in Alberta’s Kananaskis Country is popular with the locals. It has all the characteristics you get in nearby Banff, but without the crowds. You can only reach it by hiking for about three kilometres. Things to do: Besides fishing, you can relax in the flower-filled fields and enjoy nice mountain views at South Kananaskis Pass. Use kayaks (皮划艇) to explore the shoreline of Upper Kananaskis Lake. 16. What can visitors do in Pacific Rim-National Park? A. Enjoy fishing. B. Watch grey whales. C. Try mountain biking. D. Eat a wood-fired pizza. 17. If you want to go for world-class hikes, you can explore ________. A. Pacific Rim National Park B. Alice Lake Provincial Park C. Mount Robson Provincial Park D. Peter Lougheed Provincial Park 18. What do the four parks have in common? A. They all offer water activities. B. They all have peaceful campsites. C. They all feature beautiful mountain views. D. They all make good destinations for hiking. B Four years ago, Christina traveled to India with her family. At a market in Bombay, she was surprised to see rows of objects made of ivory (象牙). Globally, the ivory trade has been against the law for more than 30 years, and elephant hunting has been prohibited in India since the 1970s. Curious, Christina did some research and discovered a shocking piece of data: Africa’s forest elephant population had dropped by about 62 percent between 2008 and 2019. And the numbers continue to drop. A wildlife lover, Christina wanted to do something to help protect the species that is still threatened by poaching (偷猎). Over the course of two years, Christina created ElSa (short for elephant savior), a low-cost model of an AI-driven software that looks at movement patterns in thermal infrared (热能红外) videos of humans and elephants. Christina says the software is four times more accurate (精确的) than existing advanced methods. ElSa uses a thermal camera that connects to a smart phone. The camera and the phone are then attached to a drone, and the system produces real-time results as it flies over parks, showing whether objects below are human or elephant. Her project won an award in the world’s largest international pre-college STEM competition. Christina first learned about the capabilities of AI just after ninth grade. Once at an AI conference, Christina met April Moss, a Harvard computer scientist who was working on a wildlife protection project using drones and machine learning. Christina reached out to the computer scientist about her idea to catch elephant poachers using movement patterns, and Moss was happy to help her with the software project. After numerous improvements, Christina finally created ElSa, which was able to pick out humans with over 90 percent accuracy. In the fall, Christina will attend the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where she wants to study electrical engineering and computer science. She has plans to enlarge her movement pattern research into other endangered animals. And she wants to begin using her software in national parks in Africa. “Research isn’t a straight line,” Christina says. “That has made me more resourceful. It also helped me develop into a more creative thinker. You learn along the way.” 19. Which is the probable order of the following events? ① Christina saw ivory products on sale in Bombay. ② Christina created ElSa. ③ Christina attended an AI conference. A. ①②③ B. ②③① C. ①③② D. ③①② 20. From the passage, we can learn that ElSa ________. A. is more cost-saving than the existing model B. can identify poachers using movement patterns C is good at telling the differences between animals D. can predict the movements of humans and elephants 21. What is Christina’s future plan? A. To study wildlife protection in university. B. To take part in a college STEM competition. C. To work with April Moss on a project in Africa. D. To apply her software to other endangered animals. 22. According to the passage, which words would best describe Christina? A. Honest and resourceful. B. Responsible and creative. C. Generous and intelligent. D. Considerate and hard-working. C Do cats remember who their mother is? The answer to this question is a bit complex. Cats are unsocial animals. Their relationships don’t function the same as those of people. Therefore, cats don’t remember their mothers in the same way that humans do. Cats use smell to identify one another. Mothers and kittens may continue to recognize each other if they are never separated. If they are separated, they will likely not recognize each other when they are reunited. After all. their smell will have changed, which will cause their “identity” to change. Even if a mother and her kittens aren’t separated, a kitten’s smell will begin to change when it is around 12 weeks old. Before then, the kittens spend their time in a nesting box, which causes them to develop a unique smell. After they stop spending so much time in their box, the smell slowly goes away, and the cats will adopt the smell of their environment. Eventually, it will change enough to prevent the cats from identifying each other as littermates (同窝出生的仔畜). Do mother cats know who their kittens are? Various studies have been performed on whether cats have an inborn sense of who their kittens are. Most cats accept any kitten that suckles (吮吸) on them. You can take kittens from different mothers and give them to the same mother cat, and she will typically accept them. Therefore, cats likely don’t have a strong sense of which kittens are “theirs”. They take care of whichever kittens are in their nesting box. However cats typically use smell to recognize other cats that they know. Kittens that spend time in a mother’s nesting box will usually be cared for by that mother, as they “smell” like her kittens. This is true even if the kittens aren’t biologically hers. Therefore, the mother cat doesn’t know which kittens she gave birth to. However, there is a sense of which kittens are “hers” based on which ones are in her nesting box and smell like it. If any kittens disappear, she will likely notice and look for them. But that isn’t always true. Sometimes, cats don’t realize that they have fewer kittens. When the kittens grow, the mother may recognize that they are her kittens if they are kept around and not separated. However, she won’t develop the same mother-child relationship that humans do. Cats typically don’t form “family” ties. 23. What does the author intend to do by mentioning human relationships in Paragraph 1? A. Highlight a difference. B. Give a suggestion. C Make an assumption. D. Express a doubt. 24. Cats are able to know who their mothers are because of their ________. A. strong attachments B. inborn skills C. biological relationship D. shared smell 25. Regarding a mother’s relationship with her kittens, we can learn that ________. A. mothers’ love for their kittens lasts a lifetime B. mothers will miss their kittens if they are separated C. mothers don’t always remember which kittens they gave birth to D. mothers drive away their kittens when they are about 12 weeks old 26. What is the purpose of this passage? A. To show why cats fail to identify their littermates. B. To point out when kittens tend to leave their mothers. C. To explore what factors affect mother-kitten recognition. D. To explain how to strengthen cats’ mother-child relationship. D A 2023 study from the University of Bath found that younger generations have higher levels of perfectionism, or having exceptionally high standards and being overly self-critical, compared with previous generations at the same period in their lives. Using data taken from 40,000 North American and British university students, researchers found evidence that the extent to which young people place an unreasonable importance on “being perfect” had increased. Growing competition for university places and jobs, and increasingly strict parents were listed among contributing factors. The World Economic Forum describes it as a “hidden wave of perfectionism” and connects perfectionism with serious mental illnesses such as depression, anxiety and eating disorders. Clinical psychologist Ellen Hendriksen says that perfectionism isn’t necessarily about being perfect; instead, it’s about never being good enough. “It’s an inner push to do more, and always be better but, eventually, it costs us more than it buys us,” she says. Of course there is nothing wrong with simply wanting to do well and having high standards for yourself. So, when does this become a problem? Ellen says it has to do with the reason why you’re pursuing (追求) something. “There’s a difference between doing something as well as you can and making something perfect. If you enjoy the journey of doing something, that’s great. But if you’re doing it because you want to prove you’re good enough—that’s what perfectionism is.” What are the tell-tale signs that you’re a perfectionist? One common characteristic of perfectionism is procrastination (拖延), but not for the reasons you might normally attach to it, such as laziness. “Often perfectionists fear that they’re not going to be able to perform to the level that others might expect, or that the end result won’t be good enough,” Ellen explains, “so it’s not actually the avoidance of a task; it’s avoidance of negative emotions connected with a task.” Other elements of perfectionism can be seen in the way these people make decisions. There are two extremes: those who make quick decisions and believe that they are absolutely making the “correct” or “right” decision, and others who are so worried about making the wrong decision, and regret that they spend too much time agonizing over it, researching, weighing advantages and disadvantages and talking to people for encouragement. So how do we break free from perfectionism? It starts with challenging the original beliefs that drive it. Perfectionism is often rooted in fear—fear of failure, criticism, or not being good enough. Asking ourselves questions like, “What’s the worst that could happen if this isn’t perfect?” can help us put things into perspective (正确认识). By letting go of the fear of imperfection, we free ourselves to take risks, become more creative, and reach our true potential 27. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? A. How perfectionism harms young people B. Why there exists a hidden wave of perfectionism. C. When perfectionism may lead to mental illnesses. D. What drives younger generations to pursue perfection. 28. What can we learn from the passage? A. Doing one’s best typically marks perfectionism. B. The pursuit of perfection is the main cause of mental issues. C. Rushing into decisions causes more problems than weighing options. D. Fear of failure plays a key role in connecting perfectionism and procrastination. 29. What does the phrase “agonizing over” underlined in Paragraph 6 probably mean? A. Insisting on. B. Struggling with. C. Crying over. D. Dreaming about. 30. Which would be the best title for the passage? A The Price of Perfection: Perfectionism Holds You Back B. The Lie of Perfection: Unrealistic Goals Worsen Anxiety C. The Root of Perfectionism: Fear of Not Being Good Enough D. The Trap of Perfectionism: Wanting to Be Perfect Causes Self-Doubt 第Ⅱ卷 (共65分) I. 选词填空 (共7小题；每小题2分，共14分) 用方框中单词的适当形式完成下列句子，每个单词只能用一次。 lose current admire found perform energy memory 31.

When it comes to exploring caves, “spelunking” and “caving” are always used. In 1940, an American caver named Clay Perry wrote about a group of cave explorers who called themselves spelunkers. It was the first time that the word had been heard in cave exploration circles. The word spelunker comes from the Latin word spelunca, which means cavern, cave, or den in English. Also, the word spelunca itself comes from the Greek word Spelynk which simply means cave. On the other hand, the word caving comes from the Latin word cavea or cavern. This word means to cave. Caving and spelunking are actually the same, but very different in some ways. The difference between these two terms began to surface in the 1960s when real cave explorers referred to spelunkers as inexperienced and ill-equipped. Spelunkers are cave tourists, wanting to appreciate a cave’s natural features and beauty. Basically, spelunking is like a hobby. On the other hand, caving has a totally different purpose. Cavers explore a cave to study all of the things that are happening inside it. Some cavers are professionals who study cave phenomenon (现象). You can also tell the difference between caving and spelunking by experience level. Caving requires individuals to be knowledgeable and experienced, since their purpose is often to work and do research in caves. But for spelunkers, it’s not necessary to be experienced to explore a cave, especially if the objective is to enjoy the view as a tourist. Cave exploration is sure to bring excitement and fun. Give it a try when you have a chance. 53. What is cave exploration? (不多于14个单词) ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 54. When did the word “spelunker” first appear in cave exploration circles? (不多于2个单词) ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 55. Why do spelunkers explore caves? (不多于11个单词) ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 56. What quality should you have if you want to be a caver? Explain why.

V. 书面表达 (20分) 【57题答案】 【答案】Dear Jim, I’m really excited to share my experience in the optional art course this term. I chose Art Appreciation, and it has been amazing. We attended mini-lectures, where we studied painting styles, techniques and the stories behind some of the most famous masterpieces. Our teacher showed us how to analyze the colors, composition, and emotions conveyed by the artists. We also visited a gallery to view different works of art. The biggest challenge was creating our own artwork. At present, I am working on a landscape painting. It’s tough but exciting! Before taking this course, I considered art as just pictures, but now, I see it as a way to express feelings and ideas I hope you’re enjoying your classes as well. I’ll definitely send you a photo of my artwork when it’s done. Yours, Li Hua 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
