Here you’ll find 300-metre-high sea columns rising from the ocean.

A hike here takes you deep into this dramatic landscape from striking 320-million-year old red rocky outcrops to coastal forests.

Most of us can’t live like Musk, the richest man in the world, but we can read like him. Musk recommended four books in 2024 - though some were published earlier. The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, by Douglas Adams “This book highlights an important point that many times the questions are more difficult than answers. If you can express a question completely, the answer is actually quite simple. So if we can broaden the range of knowledge, that will be a good thing.” said Musk. Franklin: An American Life, by Walter Isaacson “He’s an entrepreneur,” Musk said. “He started with nothing. He was just a runaway kid. But such a man with nothing turned out to be the drafter of the Declaration of Independence of the United States. During his stay in France, he also received the support of France for the independence of the United States. Many other inventions and contributions to American society are too numerous to mention.” Super intelligence, by Nick Bostrom Nick Bostrom, from Oxford University’s Institute for the Future of Humanity, won high praise for this novel. This book suggests that the artificial intelligence of future computers will surpass human intelligence. After reading the book, Musk wrote on Twitter: We should be very careful about artificial intelligence, because it may be more dangerous than nuclear weapons. Howard Hughes, by Barrett & Steele “Howard is a famous filmmaker and aerospace powerful figure,” Musk said. “It is reading the biography of such a wild and unruly American historical figure that can give me so much interesting inspiration and humor. So, sometimes ideas don’t necessarily come from books on specialized subjects, and many of them are unusual. People tend to give us more unusual but wonderful ideas.” 1．If you are interested in inventions, whose book will you most probably choose? A．Douglas Adams. B．Walter Isaacson. C．Nick Bostrom. D．Barrett & Steele. 2．Which book gives Musk inspiration? A．Howard Hughes. B．Franklin: An American Life. C．Super intelligence. D．The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. 3．What can be learned from the text? A．Douglas Adams stresses answers are hard. B．Franklin got the support of the United States. C．Musk gets inspiration from specialized subjects. D．The book Super intelligence was well received. 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．D 【导语】这是一篇推荐类说明文 。马斯克推荐2024年四本书，包括《银河系漫游指南》等，介绍每本书内容及马斯克对它们的看法。 1．推理判断题。根据Franklin: An American Life, by Walter Isaacson部分中“Many other inventions and contributions to American society are too numerous to mention. (他对美国社会的许多其他发明和贡献多得不胜枚举。)”可知，这本书提到了很多发明相关内容，所以如果对发明感兴趣，最可能选择Walter Isaacson写的书。故选B项。 2．细节理解题。根据Howard Hughes, by Barrett & Steele部分中“It is reading the biography of such a wild and unruly American historical figure that can give me so much interesting inspiration and humor. (正是阅读这样一位不羁的美国历史人物的传记，能给我带来如此多有趣的灵感和幽默。)”可知，Howard Hughes这本书给了马斯克灵感。故选A项。 3．细节理解题。根据Super intelligence, by Nick Bostrom部分中“Nick Bostrom, from Oxford University’s Institute for the Future of Humanity, won high praise for this novel. (来自牛津大学人类未来研究所的Nick Bostrom因这部小说赢得了高度赞誉。)”可知，Super intelligence这本书广受好评。故选D项。 Passage 2 （24-25高二上·辽宁锦州·期末） Social workers’ roles in assisting individuals and communities have become necessary.

What Makes Acadia Special The park combines beautiful mountain views with ocean scenery and forested valleys. The island consists mainly of pink hard rock formed 400 million years ago. Glaciers carved through the rock over millions of years, creating valleys and hills. When the last glacier melted 14,000 years ago, it formed lake-filled valleys between the peaks. Things to Do Visitors can drive the Park Loop Road to see the rough coastline and stop at scenic spots like Sand Beach and Thunder Hole. Hiking enthusiasts can climb Cadillac Mountain to watch the sunrise. The park offers over 120 miles of walking paths for all skill levels. Families can enjoy easy coastal walks or bike along 45 miles of well-maintained carriage roads. National Park Entrance Fees Visitors must pay an entrance fee from May through October. A seven-day pass costs $35 per vehicle. Passes can be purchased at various locations including the Visitor Center and onlineatrecreation.gov. Seasons and Activities The main tourist season runs from June through August, with fall visitors coming for the colorful autumn leaves through October. While the park stays open year-round, winter brings limited access and facilities. Many paths close from March to August for rare bird nesting.

Passage 2 （24-25高二上·吉林吉林·期末） Love hiking but don’t want to have a heavy backpack for days on end? We’ve found four great walks around Australia. ● Three Capes Walk Where: Tasmania Length: Three days The pièce de résistance of a hike in this remote southeast corner of Tasmania has to be a flight over, or cruise(航行) underneath, Cape Pillar–the tallest sea cliffs in the Southern Hemisphere. Here you’ll find 300-metre-high sea columns rising from the ocean. The equally impressive Cape Raoul – only accessible by hikers – will also give you a taste of the dramatic, raw beauty to come. ● Great Ocean Walk Where: Victoria Length: Three days The 243-kilometre long Great Ocean Road is an Australian National Heritage – listed area famed for its surf beaches and the Twelve Apostles – limestone(石灰岩) stacks rising out of the Southern Ocean. It takes more than a week to walk the full length, but this hike ensures you see the best bits over three days. ● Larapinta Trail &Red Center Walk Where: Northern Territory Length: Nine days If you haven’t experienced the beating heart of Australia, this is the way to do it. Walk part of the Larapinta Trail, a 231-kilometre path that follows the rocky spine of the West MacDonnell Ranges from Alice Springs Telegraph Station to Mount Sonder. ● Light to Light Walk Where: New South Wales Length: Four days The Sapphire Coast was named after a gem because of its deep blue sparkling waters. A hike here takes you deep into this dramatic landscape from striking 320-million-year old red rocky outcrops to coastal forests. Glide along its dynamic waters on a cruise to take in the birdlife, and if you’re lucky, you might even spot a dolphin or, from May to November, a migrating whale. 1．What can you appreciate in “Three Capes Walk”?

Most of us can’t live like Musk, the richest man in the world, but we can read like him. Musk recommended four books in 2024 - though some were published earlier. The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, by Douglas Adams “This book highlights an important point that many times the questions are more difficult than answers. If you can express a question completely, the answer is actually quite simple. So if we can broaden the range of knowledge, that will be a good thing.” said Musk. Franklin: An American Life, by Walter Isaacson “He’s an entrepreneur,” Musk said. “He started with nothing. He was just a runaway kid. But such a man with nothing turned out to be the drafter of the Declaration of Independence of the United States. During his stay in France, he also received the support of France for the independence of the United States. Many other inventions and contributions to American society are too numerous to mention.” Super intelligence, by Nick Bostrom Nick Bostrom, from Oxford University’s Institute for the Future of Humanity, won high praise for this novel. This book suggests that the artificial intelligence of future computers will surpass human intelligence. After reading the book, Musk wrote on Twitter: We should be very careful about artificial intelligence, because it may be more dangerous than nuclear weapons. Howard Hughes, by Barrett & Steele “Howard is a famous filmmaker and aerospace powerful figure,” Musk said. “It is reading the biography of such a wild and unruly American historical figure that can give me so much interesting inspiration and humor. So, sometimes ideas don’t necessarily come from books on specialized subjects, and many of them are unusual.
