Consisting of five islands and their surrounding waters, the park is full of natural beauty and outdoor activities. Trails (路线) for All Levels The park has miles of hiking trails that allow you to explore the islands’ diverse landscapes and wildlife. On Santa Cruz Island, with more than 86 miles of trails, hike the scenic Cavern Point Trail for astonishing ocean views and a tour of the Scorpion Ranch, which was originally built in 1886. Santa Rosa Island features the rare Torrey pine tree, which you can see on a hike to Torrey Pines. For more of a challenge, make the 16-mile roundtrip hike to Point Bennett on San Miguel Island, home to thousands of seals and sea lions. On Anacapa Island, the easy Inspiration Point Trail rewards hikers with sweeping views of the island and the ocean below. Know Before You Go Before starting Channel Islands hikes, review hiking safety information. Prepare for sun exposure, wind, step drop-offs, island wildlife, and wet stream crossings on Santa Cruz and Santa Rosa Islands. Always carry spare clothes and plenty of water, hike with a partner, and closely keep an eye on children. Arrive with a trail map, proper footwear, layers, and sun protection. Be prepared for unreliable cell phone service. Island Isolation The Channel Islands’ remoteness is part of their charm but those who are coming should do additional work when they plan.

These collections are special, wonderful and worth a visit. Museums have changed. We’ll always have the Met in New York and the Louvre in Paris, but nowadays you’ll find a museum for absolutely everything and everyone. Museum of Bad Art Boston, Massachusetts The mission of MOBA is to collect, exhibit and celebrate art that will be shown in no other venue. The museum’s new location, in the Dorchester Brewing Co., assumes visitors would need a drink after seeing this work. Highlights include Lucy in the Field with Flowers (above), a painting found in 1993 leaning against a trash barrel, waiting for garbage collection. This painting was the first of the MOBA collection. A low point — and a must- see — is the painting Our Lady of Perpetual Housework. The Mob Museum Las Vegas, Nevada This 1933 former U.S. post office and federal courtroom was bought by the city of Las Vegas in 2002 for $1, with the condition it be used for something cultural… like a museum. Officially the National Museum of Organized Crime and Law Enforcement, this museum tells a visual story of the war between the mob and the feds. The museum ends its tour by inviting you into a fully operational — and legal — speakeasy. National Comedy Center Jamestown, New York Based in Lucille Ball’s hometown, this museum features exhibits such as Jerry Seinfeld’s puffy shirt and Joàn Rivers’s card catalog of 65,000 jokes. “Before visitors go through the turnstiles (旋转门), they create their sense of humor profile,’” says executive director Journey Gunderson. “They choose what they find funny, and the data is collected on a digital chip they wear on a wrist called a Laugh Band so that the comedy content is customized based on their personal taste.” The Museum of Jurassic Technology Los Angeles, California Perhaps no museum is more committed to challenging common categorization than this one. What museum critic Edward Rothstein described in the New York Times as a “museum about museums” began as the subject of the book Mr. Wilson’s Cabinet of Wonder, which was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for general nonfiction. One anonymous visitor’s review, “Don’t go here high. Exhibits with names like No One May Ever Have the Same Knowledge Again and Tell the Bees can be enough to make you lose your mind.” 19．What can visitors expect to see at the Museum of Bad Art? A．An exhibition of various drinks. B．Art that is not exhibited elsewhere. C．Educational courses about art techniques. D．Exhibits focusing on modern abstract art. 20．Where can visitors go if they want to have what they will appreciate tailored? A．Museum of Bad Art. B．The Mob Museum. C．National Comedy Center. D．The Museum of Jurassic Technology. 21．What is unusual about the Museum of Jurassic Technology? A．It was inspired by a famous novel. B．It only exhibits art related to technology. C．It focuses on dinosaurs and prehistoric life. D．It differs from traditional museum categorization. 【答案】19．B 20．C 21．D 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了美国四家与众不同的博物馆。 19．细节理解题。根据Museum of Bad Art部分的“The mission of MOBA is to collect, exhibit and celebrate art that will be shown in no other venue. (MOBA的任务是收集、展示和庆祝那些在其他地方无法展示的艺术)”可知，在MOBA，游客可以期待看到其他地方没有展出的艺术品。故选B项。 20．细节理解题。根据National Comedy Center部分的“They choose what they find funny, and the data is collected on a digital chip they wear on a wrist called a Laugh Band so that the comedy content is customized based on their personal taste. (他们选择自己觉得有趣的内容，数据被收集到他们戴在手腕上的一个名为Laugh Band的数字芯片上，这样喜剧内容就会根据他们的个人品味进行定制)”可知，如果游客想要定制他们喜欢的东西，可以去国家喜剧中心。故选C项。 21．细节理解题。根据The Museum of Jurassic Technology部分的“Perhaps no museum is more committed to challenging common categorization than this one. (也许没有哪个博物馆比这家博物馆更致力于挑战常见的分类)”可知，侏罗纪科技博物馆的不同寻常之处在于它不同于传统的博物馆分类。故选D项。 Passage 6 （23-24高二上·马鞍山二中·期末） Chinatown, lying in Downtown L. A．near the city’s cultural center, is one of L.

Early birds should stop by Philippe The Original, a local restaurant that’s beloved for French Dip sandwiches, but also serves a good classic American breakfast. Night owls will want to head to Full House Seafood on Hill Street, which is open late into the night. CHINESE AMERICAN MUSEUM Food is far from the only reason to visit Chinatown. People interested in history will want to start their trip at the Chinese American Museum (CAM), lying just outside of Chinatown at El Pueblo de Los Angeles Historical Monument. The museum is housed in the Garnier Building, the oldest surviving Chinese building in a major area of California. CENTRAL PLAZA A big statue of Bruce Lee has become a must-photograph site in Chinatown’s Central Plaza. The late martial arts star once had a studio in Chinatown at 628 W. College St. Nearby is Dragon Chasing Pearl, which was originally painted on the wall in 1941 by Tyrus Wong. The artist, who passed away in December 2016 at age 106, was famous for his work in films, particularly as the lead artist on Disney’s Bambi.

It is claimed to be the biggest food fight in the world. What Happens at La Tomatina At around 11 am, many trucks carry more than one hundred tons of over- ripe tomatoes into the centre of the town, Plaza del Pueblo. Technically the festival does not begin until one brave soul has climbed to the top of a two-story-high wooden pole and reached the ham at the top. In practice this process takes a long time and the festival starts despite no one reaching the prize. The signal for the beginning of the fight is the firing of a water gun.

Even though tea may not be native to England, this British tea tradition is still going strong today.

Anything from the raw half of the menu is a sure bet, though cooked dishes like fish can help fill out a meal. Vilas—Bangkok Can a dish inspired by a Spanish recipe using Japanese ingredients still be considered Thai? For Chef Prin Polsuk, one of Bangkok’s most famous Thai chefs, it most certainly can.

Now we have a wide variety of robots, available for our service. Here are 4 examples. Valkyrie NASA’s “superhero” robot is 6 feet 2 inches in height and was originally designed for use on the International Space Station. Valkyrie is able to walk by itself, pick up objects and use tools. NASA hopes that one day, it can help humans in danger zones and disaster-stricken areas. The robot is basically a she-bot since it was built with female characteristics. Schaft This robot, made by a Japanese company (which was later bought by Google), won the recent DARPA robotics competition. The 4 feet 11 inches in height robot can power itself instead of a battery. This gives it greater movement since batteries limit how fast the robot can actually perform tasks. Schaft blew the competition away. Ian the Invincible Ian, based on the Atlas robot, is created by Google-owned, Boston Dynamics. The 6 feet 2 inches in height robot has 28 hydraulically actuated joints and stereo vision. What makes Ian unique is the software which allows him to drive a car. Ian came second at the Robo-Olympics, but the 330pound giant still has quite a way to go. Telebot Still under development at Florida International University, Telebot will give injured and disabled police officers an opportunity to go back to work. The robot is 180 cm in height, travels on wheels and is remote controlled. Three HD cameras give Telebot a 360 degree view and with multiple sensors, it helps cops to monitor any dangerous situation from a safe distance. 16．What does Valkyrie feature? A．Built-in cameras. B．The capacity to use tools. C．Its unique gender design. D．The ability to pick up objects. 17．What do Schaft and Ian the Invincible have in common? A．They have the same height. B．They offer similar applications. C．They both won in the Robo-Olympics. D．They now belong to the same firm. 18．Who is Telebot intended for? A．The disabled. B．The police. C．The elderly. D．The astronauts. 【答案】16．C 17．D 18．B 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章介绍了4款会影响未来的现代机器人。 16．细节理解题。本题问Valkyrie款机器人的特点。根据Valkyrie部分的“The robot is basically a she-bot since it was built with female characteristics.(这个机器人基本上是一个女性机器人，因为它是带有女性特征的)”可知，这个机器人是以女性特征制造的，是有性别的。故选C项。 17．细节理解题。根据Schaft部分“This robot, made by a Japanese company (which was later bought by Google)…(这个机器人由一家日本公司制造(后来被谷歌收购)…)”和Ian the Invincible部分的“Ian, based on the Atlas robot, is created by Google-owned, Boston Dynamics.(伊恩的原型是阿特拉斯机器人，由谷歌旗下的波士顿动力公司制造)”可知，现在它们隶属于同一家公司-谷歌。故选D项。 18．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Still under development at Florida International University, Telebot will give injured and disabled police officers an opportunity to go back to work.(佛罗里达国际大学仍在开发Telebot，它将使受伤和残疾的警察有机会重返工作岗位)”及“it helps cops to monitor any dangerous situation from a safe distance.(它可以帮助警察从安全距离监视任何危险情况)”可知，这款机器人是专为警察设计的。故选B项。 主题02人与社会——旅游 Passage 1 （23-24高二上·安徽黄山·期末） Four Best Natural Parks in America Everglades National Park, Florida Everglades National Park is the largest subtropical (亚热带) wilderness reserve in America.

Consisting of five islands and their surrounding waters, the park is full of natural beauty and outdoor activities. Trails (路线) for All Levels The park has miles of hiking trails that allow you to explore the islands’ diverse landscapes and wildlife. On Santa Cruz Island, with more than 86 miles of trails, hike the scenic Cavern Point Trail for astonishing ocean views and a tour of the Scorpion Ranch, which was originally built in 1886. Santa Rosa Island features the rare Torrey pine tree, which you can see on a hike to Torrey Pines. For more of a challenge, make the 16-mile roundtrip hike to Point Bennett on San Miguel Island, home to thousands of seals and sea lions. On Anacapa Island, the easy Inspiration Point Trail rewards hikers with sweeping views of the island and the ocean below. Know Before You Go Before starting Channel Islands hikes, review hiking safety information. Prepare for sun exposure, wind, step drop-offs, island wildlife, and wet stream crossings on Santa Cruz and Santa Rosa Islands. Always carry spare clothes and plenty of water, hike with a partner, and closely keep an eye on children. Arrive with a trail map, proper footwear, layers, and sun protection.

Passage 5 （24-25高二上·安徽宣城·期末） Yes, there’s a museum for that! These collections are special, wonderful and worth a visit. Museums have changed. We’ll always have the Met in New York and the Louvre in Paris, but nowadays you’ll find a museum for absolutely everything and everyone. Museum of Bad Art Boston, Massachusetts The mission of MOBA is to collect, exhibit and celebrate art that will be shown in no other venue. The museum’s new location, in the Dorchester Brewing Co., assumes visitors would need a drink after seeing this work. Highlights include Lucy in the Field with Flowers (above), a painting found in 1993 leaning against a trash barrel, waiting for garbage collection. This painting was the first of the MOBA collection. A low point — and a must- see — is the painting Our Lady of Perpetual Housework. The Mob Museum Las Vegas, Nevada This 1933 former U.S. post office and federal courtroom was bought by the city of Las Vegas in 2002 for $1, with the condition it be used for something cultural… like a museum. Officially the National Museum of Organized Crime and Law Enforcement, this museum tells a visual story of the war between the mob and the feds. The museum ends its tour by inviting you into a fully operational — and legal — speakeasy. National Comedy Center Jamestown, New York Based in Lucille Ball’s hometown, this museum features exhibits such as Jerry Seinfeld’s puffy shirt and Joàn Rivers’s card catalog of 65,000 jokes. “Before visitors go through the turnstiles (旋转门), they create their sense of humor profile,’” says executive director Journey Gunderson. “They choose what they find funny, and the data is collected on a digital chip they wear on a wrist called a Laugh Band so that the comedy content is customized based on their personal taste.” The Museum of Jurassic Technology Los Angeles, California Perhaps no museum is more committed to challenging common categorization than this one. What museum critic Edward Rothstein described in the New York Times as a “museum about museums” began as the subject of the book Mr. Wilson’s Cabinet of Wonder, which was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for general nonfiction. One anonymous visitor’s review, “Don’t go here high. Exhibits with names like No One May Ever Have the Same Knowledge Again and Tell the Bees can be enough to make you lose your mind.” 19．What can visitors expect to see at the Museum of Bad Art? A．An exhibition of various drinks. B．Art that is not exhibited elsewhere. C．Educational courses about art techniques. D．Exhibits focusing on modern abstract art. 20．Where can visitors go if they want to have what they will appreciate tailored? A．Museum of Bad Art. B．The Mob Museum. C．National Comedy Center.

C．It focuses on dinosaurs and prehistoric life. D．It differs from traditional museum categorization. Passage 6 （23-24高二上·马鞍山二中·期末） Chinatown, lying in Downtown L.

A MECCA FOR FOOD In Chinatown, a mix of new and old restaurants meets everyone’s needs. Early birds should stop by Philippe The Original, a local restaurant that’s beloved for French Dip sandwiches, but also serves a good classic American breakfast. Night owls will want to head to Full House Seafood on Hill Street, which is open late into the night. CHINESE AMERICAN MUSEUM Food is far from the only reason to visit Chinatown. People interested in history will want to start their trip at the Chinese American Museum (CAM), lying just outside of Chinatown at El Pueblo de Los Angeles Historical Monument. The museum is housed in the Garnier Building, the oldest surviving Chinese building in a major area of California. CENTRAL PLAZA A big statue of Bruce Lee has become a must-photograph site in Chinatown’s Central Plaza. The late martial arts star once had a studio in Chinatown at 628 W. College St. Nearby is Dragon Chasing Pearl, which was originally painted on the wall in 1941 by Tyrus Wong. The artist, who passed away in December 2016 at age 106, was famous for his work in films, particularly as the lead artist on Disney’s Bambi. FESTIVALS Chinatown hosts many party-style events throughout the year, like the music and food truck Chinatown Summer Nights, the yearly Moon Festival and the biggest one, Chinese New Year! It’s really a good place to experience L. A．’s cultural diversity. 22．Of the following places, which one may be popular for its breakfast? A．Garnier Building. B．Philippe The Original.

Passage 7 （24-25高二上·芜湖一中·期末） La Tomatina is a food fight festival held on the last Wednesday of August each year in the town of Bunol close to Valencia in Spain. It is claimed to be the biggest food fight in the world. What Happens at La Tomatina At around 11 am, many trucks carry more than one hundred tons of over- ripe tomatoes into the centre of the town, Plaza del Pueblo. Technically the festival does not begin until one brave soul has climbed to the top of a two-story-high wooden pole and reached the ham at the top. In practice this process takes a long time and the festival starts despite no one reaching the prize. The signal for the beginning of the fight is the firing of a water gun. After one hour the fighting ends and the cleaning process begins. The Rules of La Tomatina Do not bring bottles or hard objects as they can cause accidents and hurt other participants; Do not tear other people’s T-shirts; You must squeeze (捏碎) the tomatoes before throwing them; As soon as you hear the second shot of the water gun, you must stop throwing tomatoes. Useful Advice Wear old shoes and clothes that you do not mind throwing away afterwards. They will most likely end up damaged or incredibly dirty; Don’t wear slippers. You may get hurt, or you could lose them easily during the battle; If you are not from Bunol, and you want to stay overnight, don’t forget to look for and secure accommodation in advance. Stay safe and enjoy the festivities as much as possible! 25．What can we learn about La Tomatina? A．It is an annual event. B．It takes place in Valencia. C．It lasts for a whole day.

But you don’t have to leave your home. As far as I’m concerned, it’s worth the sticker price to learn the techniques. Turkey and the Wolf: Flavor Trippin’ in New Orleans by Mason Hereford Chef Mason Hereford has put to paper some of the magic that draws locals and tourists alike to his popular New Orleans sandwich shop, Turkey and the Wolf. The cookbook is full of recipes accessible to home cooks. The meatloaf is my favorite.

It is a special way of connecting people all over the world in different ways and ceremonies. That finally all results in a group of people sitting together and enjoying a cup of tea. Chinese tea culture Since China is considered as the birthplace of tea, it is no wonder that Chinese tea culture is rich in history and tradition. Today, Chinese tea continues to be used in Chinese medicine and is commonly used on both formal and informal occasions either for personal enjoyment or as a Chinese cultural tradition.

Japanese tea is commonly used in Japanese tea ceremonies and only in recent years has become popular in western culture. British tea culture When it comes to British tea, British tea culture is what comes to mind. A hot cup of Earl Grey tea often serves with a little milk and a biscuit in the afternoon as a pick-me-up for the day, which makes you feel better and more energetic. Even though tea may not be native to England, this British tea tradition is still going strong today. Moroccan tea culture When you visit Morocco, it is hard to miss the outstanding tea culture that is such a special way to welcome guests. Before any gathering, a pot of mint(薄荷)tea is always prepared and served among the host and guests.

Le Doyenné——Saint-Vrain, France Australian chefs James Henry and Shaun Kelly transformed the former stables (马厩) of a 19th-century private estate into a working farm, restaurant, and guesthouse driven by the principles of regenerative agriculture. More than one hundred varieties of fruits, vegetables, and herbs make their way into Henry’s cooking after being carefully nurtured by Kelly. Mi Compa Chava—Mexico City Seafood is a hangover cure in Mexico, and almost everyone eating here is devoted to fixing last night’s damage from drunkenness and getting a head start on creating today’s. On the sidewalk, crowds of locals and tourists alike line up for fisherman Salvador Orozco’s creative takes on Sinaloa and Baja seafood. Anything from the raw half of the menu is a sure bet, though cooked dishes like fish can help fill out a meal. Vilas—Bangkok Can a dish inspired by a Spanish recipe using Japanese ingredients still be considered Thai? For Chef Prin Polsuk, one of Bangkok’s most famous Thai chefs, it most certainly can. At his latest restaurant, a small dining room at the base of Bangkok’s landmark King Power Mahanakhon Tower, he draws inspiration from King Chulalongkorn’s 1897 journey around Europe and the foreign ingredients (原料) and cooking techniques he added to the royal cookbooks. 13．What does the author highly recommend at Place des Fêtes?

Passage 6 （23-24高二上·安徽五市·期末） 4 Modern Robots That Will Shape Our Future There was once a time when robots were limited to science-fiction movies and novels. Now we have a wide variety of robots, available for our service. Here are 4 examples. Valkyrie NASA’s “superhero” robot is 6 feet 2 inches in height and was originally designed for use on the International Space Station. Valkyrie is able to walk by itself, pick up objects and use tools. NASA hopes that one day, it can help humans in danger zones and disaster-stricken areas. The robot is basically a she-bot since it was built with female characteristics. Schaft This robot, made by a Japanese company (which was later bought by Google), won the recent DARPA robotics competition. The 4 feet 11 inches in height robot can power itself instead of a battery. This gives it greater movement since batteries limit how fast the robot can actually perform tasks. Schaft blew the competition away. Ian the Invincible Ian, based on the Atlas robot, is created by Google-owned, Boston Dynamics. The 6 feet 2 inches in height robot has 28 hydraulically actuated joints and stereo vision. What makes Ian unique is the software which allows him to drive a car. Ian came second at the Robo-Olympics, but the 330pound giant still has quite a way to go. Telebot Still under development at Florida International University, Telebot will give injured and disabled police officers an opportunity to go back to work. The robot is 180 cm in height, travels on wheels and is remote controlled. Three HD cameras give Telebot a 360 degree view and with multiple sensors, it helps cops to monitor any dangerous situation from a safe distance. 16．What does Valkyrie feature? A．Built-in cameras. B．The capacity to use tools. C．Its unique gender design. D．The ability to pick up objects. 17．What do Schaft and Ian the Invincible have in common? A．They have the same height. B．They offer similar applications. C．They both won in the Robo-Olympics. D．They now belong to the same firm. 18．Who is Telebot intended for? A．The disabled. B．The police. C．The elderly.
