Here are some of its top picks, one in each state. Massachusetts Book an overnight stay at the Borden Flats Lighthouse in Massachusetts’ Taunton River for a taste of lightkeeper life. The tower wan built in 1881 to guide ships through the Mount Hope Bay, near the town of Fall River, Book months in advance for this self-catering flat with wonderful views. Connecticut With 650 feet of vertical (垂直的) drop, Connecticut’s Mohawk Mountain So Area might look modest, but its eight chairlifts provide access to 26 sidewinding trails (小径), many of which can be skied after dark thanks to night lighting. Toward the mountain top several trails connect with snowshoe and cross-country ski paths that go deeper into Mohawk State Forest. Colorado The Centennial State has nearly a hundred developed and undeveloped hot springs.The heated natural water is said to relieve pain and reduce stress. For the wellness road trip, start with the 720-mile Colorado Historic Hot Springs Loop from Denver to Pagosa Springs to Steamboat Springs, which highlights 17 destinations, including Glenwood Hot Springs Resort with its 405-foot-long main pool. Montana Helena, Montana’s laid-back capital, is often overlooked. But its location, at 3, 875 feet of elevation on the eastern slope (斜坡) of the Continental Divide, makes it a mountain biker’s dream. Seventy-five miles of trails include the Mount Helena Ridge Trail, where you’ll get views of the valley below. You might see wildflowers or a black bear. 21. What are you required to do to taste lightkeeper life? A. Buy a ticket to an old tower. B. Make reservations in advance. C. Follow ships in Taunton River. D. Take a boat tour in Fall River. 22.

Then 36, Bautista had spent months searching for work and had finally been offered a job in the call center of a Seattle-area hospital. But at the last minute, the offer was rescinded due to something Bautista had kept secret for twenty years: She had never graduated from high school. “That was the lowest point in my life,” recalls Bautista. She has come a long way since her childhood. Raised by a single dad, she often had to take care of herself. At 16, she dropped out of high school to work and support herself. Gradually, Bautista built a life. By 2005, she had worked at a local bank. With each passing year, however, Bautista felt her career options (职业选择) narrowing. After nearly ten years in banking, she was getting burned out. She dreamed of becoming an accountant (会计), but knew that required a diploma (文凭). Meanwhile, her incomplete education made her feel uncomfortable socially. When the hospital call center job fell through, Bautista knew she’d reached a breaking point. “At that moment, it was just, ‘I have to fix this.’” After searching for local classes, Bautista came across a preparatory program on the Hopelink website. She’d known it ran a food bank, but was unaware Hope link also offered free adult education programs. Though Bautista was nervous about being in class, she refused to let that fear get in the way. “She always asked questions and was really open about what she understood and didn’t understand,” says Debbie Margolis, a teacher of Hopelink. Hopelink helped Bautista prepare for her GED test, which awards the equivalent of a high school diploma. She passed the test in six months in June 2019. Even today, Bautista recalls the relief she felt—“Just the weight lifting off my shoulders: I finally get this done.” 24. What does the underlined word “rescinded” mean in the first paragraph? A. Limited. B. Delivered. C. Identified. D. Cancelled. 25. What can we learn about Bautista from paragraph 2? A. She missed her childhood. B. She suffered many hardships. C. She supported a big family. D. She lived with her students. 26. One of the purposes of Hopelink is to ________. A. teach the locals how to save food B. design GED tests for young students C. provide adults with education courses D. help parents see their own strengths 27. Which of the following best describes Bautista? A. Determined. B. Demanding. C. Humorous. D. Generous. C Ecologists Dr. Matt Holden, Dr. Andrew Rogers and Dr. Russell Yong observed their share house and its backyard in 2020, and discovered 1,150 unique species of animals and plants over a 12-month period. “We asked a large number of ecologists and conservation scientists how many species they’d expect to find in this setting and they said it could be only 200,”Dr. Holden said. “But after 60 days of surveying, we’d already discovered 777 species. It shows suburban (郊区的) houses and apartments could have far more biodiversity (生物多样性) than ever imagined, especially when it comes to insects.” The idea of the species count was born when Dr. Rogers went to clean spider’s webs (蜘蛛网) in his room and wondered how many spiders were in the house. “The three of us soon worked out a plan to check the house and backyard in search of other insects that lived alongside us,” Dr. Holden said. The survey showed richly biodiverse creatures, including 436 moth and butterfly species, 56 different spiders, and 56 birds. The researchers were also surprised to discover three species not previously recorded in Australia’s leading biodiversity database. “The house was a rich ecosystem of species interacting—we discovered unexpectedly a kind of moth, which spends its whole time feeding inside the waste of other animals before turning into an adult,” Dr. Holden said. Homes across all suburban areas could play host to similar biodiversity. “It depends on how people tend to their homes and gardens—keeping low maintenance trees and flowers and preventing chemicals used for killing insects will lead to the rising number of living creatures,” Dr. Holden said. “You don’t have to go travelling to connect with Australia’s different species of creatures. Just look in your own backyard.” 28. How many species did the three housemates discover in 12 months? A. 200. B. 436. C. 700. D. 1, 150. 29. What made Dr. Rogers get the idea of the species count? A. Cleaning his room. B. Observing the spiders. C. A talk with his friend. D. A mass of dead insects. 30. Which statement will Dr. Holden probably agree with? A. Australia has seen a jump in living creatures. B. Suburban backyards are home to diverse species. C. Wildlife tourism threatens animals and plants. D. People should keep their gardens free of insects. 31. Where is this text most likely from? A. A children’s story. B. A museum guide. C. A science magazine D. A health report. D Microplastics (微塑料) pollute drinking water. Data now suggest all of us have microplastics in our bodies. Some plastics are harmful. Menake Piyasena, a professor at the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology, and his team worked on a new process. In the past, Piyasena used ultrasound (超声波) to separate microbes and other cells from water. He recalls thinking: “What if we can use the same method to concentrate on microplastics?” The researchers send polluted water down a tube. The tube’s water flows past a transducer, which turns electrical energy into sound energy. It makes ultrasound waves that travel from one side of the tube to the other. When they hit microplastics, these waves exert（施加）a force on the plastic bits. What happens next depends on the size of those plastic bits. Ones less than about 180micrometers across will move to the center of the flow. Larger ones will interact with each other and create an additional force. This sends those larger ones toward the other end of flowing water. The ultrasound treatment removed about four in every five plastic bits from the water. It took about 90 minutes to clean one liter. It cost only about 10 cents to do that. “We think our approach will be cost-effective and simple,” Piyasena says. “Microplastics are a problem worldwide,” says a research chemist Souhail Al-Abed, who works for the US Environmental Protection Agency. In his opinion, this tech is not yet ready to be rolled out for widespread use. “I’d like to express praise for Piyasena’s team that are conducting this research,” Al-Abed adds. “Research does not have all the answers on day 1 or day 2 or day 100. But continuing work by these researchers may find a good solution for the future.” 32. Why did the researchers turn to ultrasound in the new study? A. They proved it was harmless to humans. B. They managed to apply it to other studies. C. It produced enough energy to heat water. D. It enabled them to focus on the experiment. 33. What can we infer about the water treatment? A. It might waste plenty of water. B. It will serve every family soon. C. It could lead to safer drinking water. D. It has been the most effective approach. 34. What is Al-Abed’s attitude to Piyasena’s research? A. Hopeless. B. Unclear. C. Concerned. D. Positive. 35. Which is the most suitable title for the text? A. Ultrasound Helps Remove Microplastics in Water B. Scientists Have Found the Cause of Water Pollution C. Efforts Are Made to Turn Microplastics into Energy D. Plastics Have a Bad Influence on Our Everyday Life 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入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 A full holiday schedule of gatherings and celebrations can make staying fit seem much more difficult. ____36____.

I didn’t have the money for the ticket, plus I wasn’t sure I could get enough time off from my job. All that wondering changed when my mom called. She got right to the point: “Your grandmother isn’t well. Your dad and I decided I should fly out there for Thanksgiving.” Mom was an only child, so that made sense to me. But I was not ready for what I heard next. “We decided you should come along, so I cover your ticket.” As always, Mom’s plan went off all right. I met her at the airport. Mom was anxious to see her parents, especially her mother, who was really fragile(虚弱). When we finally got to their house, we said hello and then Grandpa helped Grandma lie down again and took us to the living room, telling us we would eat Thanksgiving dinner at noon. He went into the kitchen. Mom paced(踱步) the floor. I asked her what the matter was. “He can’t cook,” she shook her head. “How’s he supposed to fix a Thanksgiving meal for us?” I tried to reason with her. “Can’t you smell dinner? Grandma is upstairs resting. Grandpa is the only one who could be cooking.” But we couldn’t see through the kitchen door. Mom had an idea. “Let’s sneak out(溜出去) the front door and see what’s going on. Then we will know who is really cooking.” Grandpa had trouble hearing, so he didn’t hear us leave. It was a crazy plan. I followed her around the house to the kitchen windows. There we watched Grandpa fill water glasses and make coffee. “When did he learn to make coffee?” Mom asked. Quietly, we ran back around the side of the house and into the living room. 注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右; 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Finally, the kitchen door opened at noon. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “Wow, I can’t believe it!

To help you excel in learning Chinese, I recommend practicing language skills on a daily basis, such as writing Chinese characters and mastering basic grammar. Equally important is finding language partners for communication, which enhances your spoken language skills. Additionally, engaging in various Chinese cultural activities can make learning more enjoyable. I am convinced that with consistent effort, you’ll make significant progress. Wish you great success in your Chinese learning! Yours, Li Hua 参考范文： Finally, the kitchen door opened at noon. We peeked through the kitchen window and saw Grandpa carrying a large tray full of food. He placed it on the table and then motioned for us to come in. Mom and I looked at each other, mouths open in surprise. “Wow, I can’t believe it! This smells so good,” I said. We gathered around the table, and Mom served the food. As we took our first bite, we couldn’t help but smile. The turkey was tender and juicy, the mashed potatoes were creamy, and the gravy was rich and flavorful. The cranberry sauce and stuffing were homemade and delicious. “Grandpa, this is the best Thanksgiving dinner I’ve ever had,” I said, looking across the table at him. He smiled with pride. “I’m glad you like it. I learned to cook when your grandma got too sick to do it herself.” “I had no idea you could cook like this,” Mom said, shaking her head in amazement. “Well, there’s a lot about me that you don’t know,” Grandpa teased. We all laughed and continued to enjoy the delicious meal. It was a Thanksgiving that we would remember for a long time to come. 第7页 共8页 第8页 共10页 第5页 共8页 第6页 共8页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
