Its autumn is splendid with fall leaves, as well as migratory birds making their way south. The fall season also brings special events along the parkway like the Natchez Balloon Festival (October 18-19) and Dancing With The King (October 18-20).Big Bend National Park (Texas) The huge park often flies under the radar because it’s so far off the beaten path. But it’s worth the drive for those who enjoy wild rivers, surprising desert landscapes, and special history. By the end of September, 80-degree temperatures are the norm, especially in the high-altitude, forested Chisos Basin, located in the heart of the park. Because the rainy season lasts till September, water is still high on the Rio Grande, which means almost ideal conditions for canoe camping. White Sands National Park (New Mexico) Cooler temperatures are just one of the reasons to visit White Sands in the fall, especially for those backpack-camping the park’s wilderness trail. Another reason to visit in the fall are awesome full moons that lighten the mysterious landscapes of this New Mexico desert park. White Sands celebrates the autumn supermoons — when the celestial body appears larger than normal because it’s closer to the Earth — with Full Moon Hikes (September 18 and October 16) and Full Moon Nights that feature live outdoor music, specifically a jazz band on September 17 as well as Native American musician and storyteller Randy Granger on October 17. Capitol Reef National Park (Utah) As one of the largest national parks in the lower 48 states, Capitol Reef is never overcrowded, not even during the summer vacation season. But there’s a special reason to visit in the fall-harvest season in the fruit gardens of historic Fruita. For a small fee, visitors can self-pick the peaches, pears, and apples with ladders and fruit-picking poles provided by the Park Service. Afterward, they can enjoy the fruits of their labor at the nearby camp and picnic area. 25．What does the underlined part “flies under the radar” probably mean? A．Stands out. B．Goes unnoticed. C．Faces bad comments. D．Plays an important role. 26．What do Natchez Trace Parkway and White Sands National Park have in common? A．They both have open areas for camping.

For a small fee, visitors can self-pick the peaches, pears, and apples with ladders and fruit-picking poles provided by the Park Service. Afterward, they can enjoy the fruits of their labor at the nearby camp and picnic area.(但在秋收季节参观历史悠久的Fruita果园有一个特殊的原因。游客只需支付一小笔费用，就可以用公园管理局提供的梯子和水果采摘杆自行采摘桃子、梨和苹果。之后，他们可以在附近的营地和野餐区享受他们的劳动成果)”可知，Capitol Reef National Park的特别之处在于它方便游客采摘新鲜水果。故选C项。 Passage 3 （23-24高一上·安庆一中·期中） The New Jersey State Botanical (植物学的) Garden (NJBG) is a part of Ringwood State Park, New Jersey Division of Parks and Forestry, Department of Environmental Protection.

The Winter Olympics may not have the large crowds and huge stars of its summer sibling, but they share the same Olympic spirit. Skiing One of the most popular sports of the Winter Olympic Games is skiing. Skiers compete in the downhill and slalom(回转赛), and in the short and long cross-country ski races. Skiing was originally a sport played only in cold northern countries, but now athletes from all over the world compete in this sport, even those from countries without any snow! Skating Skaters compete with each other in speed races or in figure-skating events. The figure-skaters are generally considered to be the stars of the Winter Olympic Games. These ice princes and princesses are so graceful that it’s easy to forget that they are actually highly skilled athletes. The skeleton The skeleton is one of the strangest-name d sports of the Olympics. The skeleton is named after the shape of the metal sleds used in the 1890s, when the sport first started. The skeleton is a downhill sled race, usually on ice. This sport looks a little like the luge(无舵雪橇), where a person sits on the back of the sled with his or her feet forward, but the skeleton is a lot more exciting and dangerous than that.

The following are, just four of those great minds. Joseph Lister(1827—1912) English surgeon (外科医生). Lister pioneered the use of antiseptic (防腐的)and antiseptic surgery which greatly improved survival rates from major surgery. For this, he is often referred to as the father of modern surgery as his use of antiseptic greatly increased the kinds of operations that could be carried out. Maximilian Bircher-Benner(1867—1939) Bircher-Benner was a pioneering Swiss physician and nutritionist. He advocated the eating of raw fruit and vegetables and discouraged eating meat and heavily processed foods. Although he was questioned by the scientific establishment, his healthy eating ideas took off and helped create a diet of processed bread, meat and carbs (碳水化合物). The healthy eating trends he established have continued to grow in popularity with more scientific research showing the health benefits of such a diet. Paracelsus(1493—1541) Swiss-German physician and leading health reformer. Paracelsus founded the discipline of toxicology (毒理学)and pioneered the use of chemicals in treating patients. He emphasized practical experience. He was also one of the first doctors to note illness can be psychological in nature. Peter Mansfield(1933—2017) English physicist who with Peter Lauterbur helped to develop magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)which gets doctors to see inside a patient’s body without needing to cut it open. With MRI, doctors can see far more than with x-ray, which is limited to bones. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 2003. 19．What is Maximilian Bircher-Benner’s contribution? A．He discovered x-ray. B．He set up a healthy eating trend. C．He improved survival rates of operation. D．He did experiments with chemicals to treat diseases. 20．Who invented MRI to give doctors more information of a patient’s body? A．Joseph Lister. B．Maximilian Bircher-Benner. C．Paracelsus. D．Peter Mansfield. 21．What do the four people have in common? A．They all received Nobel Prize. B．They were all born in Switzerland. C．They all made contributions to treating patients. D．They all helped to make people live a better life. 【答案】19．B 20．D 21．D 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了为人类可以享受更好生活做出杰出贡献的四个伟大人物。 19．细节理解题。根据Maximilian Bircher-Benner部分中“Although he was questioned by the scientific establishment, his healthy eating ideas took off and helped create a diet of processed bread, meat and carbs (碳水化合物). The healthy eating trends he established have continued to grow in popularity with more scientific research showing the health benefits of such a diet. (尽管他受到了科学界的质疑，但他的健康饮食理念得到了普及，并帮助创造了一种由加工面包、肉类和碳水化合物组成的饮食。随着越来越多的科学研究表明这种饮食对健康的好处，他所建立的健康饮食趋势继续受到欢迎。)”可知，Bircher-Benner的贡献在于他树立了健康饮食的风尚。故选B。 20．细节理解题。根据Peter Mansfield部分中“English physicist who with Peter Lauterbur helped to develop magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)which gets doctors to see inside a patient’s body without needing to cut it open. (英国物理学家Peter Mansfield他与彼得·劳特伯帮助开发了磁共振成像(MRI)，使医生无需切开就能看到病人体内的情况。)”可知，Peter Mansfield与彼得·劳特伯帮助开发了磁共振成像(MRI)，使医生无需切开就能看到病人体内的情况。故选D。 21．推理判断题。根据第一段“Throughout human history, there is a bottomless well of people who made great contributions so that we can now enjoy a better life. The following are, just four of those great minds. (在整个人类历史上，有无数的人做出了巨大的贡献，所以我们现在可以享受更好的生活。以下是其中的四位伟人。)”可知，文章介绍的是为人类可以享受更好生活做出杰出贡献的四个伟大人物，故这四个人物的共通之处在于他们为了人类可以享受更好的生活做出了杰出贡献。故选D。 Passage 8 （24-25高一上·芜湖联考·期中） The Best Sillk Road Tour Silk Road, a business and trade route, originates from the ancient China and connects with the Asian.

Passage 2 （24-25高一上·合肥一中·期中） Fall Is the Best Time to Visit These National ParksNatchez Trace Parkway (Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee) Wandering 444 miles between the Mississippi River and Nashville, the Natchez Trace is impressive for more than 10,000 years of American history and some of the prettiest scenery in the South. Its autumn is splendid with fall leaves, as well as migratory birds making their way south. The fall season also brings special events along the parkway like the Natchez Balloon Festival (October 18-19) and Dancing With The King (October 18-20).Big Bend National Park (Texas) The huge park often flies under the radar because it’s so far off the beaten path. But it’s worth the drive for those who enjoy wild rivers, surprising desert landscapes, and special history. By the end of September, 80-degree temperatures are the norm, especially in the high-altitude, forested Chisos Basin, located in the heart of the park. Because the rainy season lasts till September, water is still high on the Rio Grande, which means almost ideal conditions for canoe camping. White Sands National Park (New Mexico) Cooler temperatures are just one of the reasons to visit White Sands in the fall, especially for those backpack-camping the park’s wilderness trail. Another reason to visit in the fall are awesome full moons that lighten the mysterious landscapes of this New Mexico desert park. White Sands celebrates the autumn supermoons — when the celestial body appears larger than normal because it’s closer to the Earth — with Full Moon Hikes (September 18 and October 16) and Full Moon Nights that feature live outdoor music, specifically a jazz band on September 17 as well as Native American musician and storyteller Randy Granger on October 17. Capitol Reef National Park (Utah) As one of the largest national parks in the lower 48 states, Capitol Reef is never overcrowded, not even during the summer vacation season. But there’s a special reason to visit in the fall-harvest season in the fruit gardens of historic Fruita. For a small fee, visitors can self-pick the peaches, pears, and apples with ladders and fruit-picking poles provided by the Park Service. Afterward, they can enjoy the fruits of their labor at the nearby camp and picnic area. 25．What does the underlined part “flies under the radar” probably mean? A．Stands out. B．Goes unnoticed. C．Faces bad comments. D．Plays an important role. 26．What do Natchez Trace Parkway and White Sands National Park have in common? A．They both have open areas for camping. B．They both have special events in October. C．They both have amazing desert landscapes. D．They both have a history of more than 10,000 years. 27．What is special about Capitol Reef National Park? A．It is crowded in autumn. B．It is famous for fruit-planting. C．It is convenient for visitors to pick fresh fruits. D．It is the largest national park around the world.

Passage 7 （23-24高一上·芜湖一中·期中） Throughout human history, there is a bottomless well of people who made great contributions so that we can now enjoy a better life. The following are, just four of those great minds. Joseph Lister(1827—1912) English surgeon (外科医生). Lister pioneered the use of antiseptic (防腐的)and antiseptic surgery which greatly improved survival rates from major surgery. For this, he is often referred to as the father of modern surgery as his use of antiseptic greatly increased the kinds of operations that could be carried out. Maximilian Bircher-Benner(1867—1939) Bircher-Benner was a pioneering Swiss physician and nutritionist. He advocated the eating of raw fruit and vegetables and discouraged eating meat and heavily processed foods. Although he was questioned by the scientific establishment, his healthy eating ideas took off and helped create a diet of processed bread, meat and carbs (碳水化合物). The healthy eating trends he established have continued to grow in popularity with more scientific research showing the health benefits of such a diet. Paracelsus(1493—1541) Swiss-German physician and leading health reformer. Paracelsus founded the discipline of toxicology (毒理学)and pioneered the use of chemicals in treating patients. He emphasized practical experience. He was also one of the first doctors to note illness can be psychological in nature. Peter Mansfield(1933—2017) English physicist who with Peter Lauterbur helped to develop magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)which gets doctors to see inside a patient’s body without needing to cut it open. With MRI, doctors can see far more than with x-ray, which is limited to bones. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 2003. 19．What is Maximilian Bircher-Benner’s contribution?
