The Best National Parks to Visit in Winter
While most parks tend to draw families in the summer and fall, there are also ideal spots for adventurous winter trips.
Yellowstone National Park Wyoming
The country’s oldest and best-known national park takes on an almost otherworldly atmosphere in winter: the air filled with rolling steam, the strong colors of hot springs, the surrounding white landscapes, let alone the impressive wildlife during this time, like bison, wolves, and playful red foxes. Just book a guided hiking tour to get a ranger’s perspective on the park and local people.
Joshua Tree National Park, California
With its giant red rocks and unique trees, you’ll feel like stepping onto a foreign planet as you spend hours hiking the Panorama Loop or Maze Loop. The park is recognized as an International Dark Sky Park, featuring virtually zero light pollution and the country’s best views of a starry sky.
Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona
A significantly lower number of visitors in winter means you can take in unblocked views of the South Rim, and get to see the rare beauty of the Grand Canyon dusted with snow. For those adventurous and daring, it is recommended to hike the Bright Angel Trail and take the chance to see the canyon’s wintertime wildlife, including mule deer, elk, and bald eagles.
Virgin Islands National Park, St. John
Surprise! Not all wintertime national park trips need to involve snow. Virgin Islands National Park is most famous for its white-sand beaches. You can also hike inland to visit old sugar plantations, or venture out to the water to swim along with sea turtles and manta rays. You will definitely enjoy a different winter here.
41. Which park will one choose if he/she is interested in stars?
A. Yellowstone National Park. B. Joshua Tree National Park.
C. Grand Canyon National Park. D. Virgin Islands National Park.
42. What do we know about the Grand Canyon National Park?
A. We can have a poor view of the South Rim there. B. It lies in an area with rolling steam and hot springs.
C. There is a slight decline in visitor numbers in winter. D. The Bright Angel Trail is challenging in cold weather.

B
In my childhood, my mother spent her evening hours doing something for someone else. Sometimes she knitted (编织) hats for babies, and at other times, she cooked chicken soup for sick neighbors. Therefore, I wasn’t surprised when one evening my mother announced she had undertaken a new project.
“I am going to telephone seniors,” said my mother. “Every night? But you don’t even know these people.” “It doesn’t matter,” she said. “What’s important is that I listen.” I was sixteen years old and couldn’t understand why my mother was willing to spend her evenings talking to strangers. She had friends and my two older sisters to call if she felt lonely. “They will talk your ear off. Some people didn’t even stop to catch breath,” I said.
My attitude didn’t stop my mother’s enthusiasm for the project. That evening, she settled on the sofa and dialed. For a while, I listened as she asked the woman on the other line about her day and what she had eaten for dinner. When she finished the call, I said, “Why do you care whether she had cookies or rice pudding for dessert?” My mother grasped one of my hands and gave it a slight squeeze. “I’m the only person she talked to today.”
It took me more than thirty years to fully understand the meaning of that statement. Now, as my mother is nearing eighty, I find myself thinking about those nightly calls she used to make. I am often the only person who telephones my mother, and sometimes I’m the only person she speaks to all day. I ask her what she cooked for dinner, but mostly I just listen as she describes a walk she took, or how her dog Lucky stole foods from the refrigerator. I realize that my mother’s calls were life lines that ensured housebound seniors remained connected to the world. Without her, their world would have been empty.
44. What is the mother’s purpose of calling the seniors?
A. To care about their life.
B. To know what they eat for dinner.
C. To make them feel less lonely.
D. To teach them how to make desserts.
45. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. They will talk all the time on the phone.
B. They will blame others’ wrong doings.
C. They will be tired of listening to others.
D. They will make you feel really satisfied.
46. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. The author started to telephone seniors as her mother.
B. The author realized the value of her mother’s efforts.
C. The author’s mother preferred to live alone.
D The author’s mother still remains disconnected to the world.
47. What is the suitable title for the passage?
A. Call parents often, love them always
B. Mother’s evenings
C. A new project
D. Nightly calls, lifeline calls
【答案】44. C 45. A 46. B 47. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。讲述的是作者的母亲经常晚上给一些老年人打电话聊天,作者很不理解,但是30年后,作者真正的意识到了母亲这样做的价值和意义。
【44题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的““It doesn’t matter,” she said. “What’s important is that I listen.”(“没关系,”她说。“重要的是我倾听。”)”以及第三段中的“My mother grasped one of my hands and gave it a slight squeeze. “I’m the only person she talked to today.”(妈妈抓住我的一只手,轻轻捏了一下。“我是她今天唯一和她说话的人。”)”可知,老年人一天中只有作者的母亲给他打电话,由此可以推断,老年人很孤单,所以母亲作为一个倾听者给老年人打电话就是为了不让老人们减少一些他们的孤独。故选C项。
【45题详解】
词义猜测题。根据空前的“She had friends and my two older sisters to call if she felt lonely.(如果她感到孤独,她有朋友和我的两个姐姐可以打电话。)”可知,作者觉得母亲要是觉得孤单可以找自己认识的人聊天,再根据“Some people didn’t even stop to catch breath(有些人甚至没有停下来喘口气)”可知,作者觉得母亲认识的人中有特别能说的,一打起电话就没完没了,由此可猜测,划线句子的意思是“他们在电话里会一直没完没了地说”。故选A项。
【46题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“It took me more than thirty years to fully understand the meaning of that statement.(我花了三十多年的时间才完全理解这句话的含义。)”以及“I realize that my mother’s calls were life lines that ensured housebound seniors remained connected to the world. Without her, their world would have been empty.(我意识到我母亲的电话是确保居家老年人与世界保持联系的生命线。没有她,他们的世界将是空的。)”可知,作者终于在30年后明白了母亲这样做是让更多的老人与世界关联,不让老人觉得自己的世界太孤单,由此可推断出作者明白了母亲这样做的价值和意义。故选B项。
【47题详解】
主旨大意题。根据首段中的“In my childhood, my mother spent her evening hours doing something for someone else.(在我的童年时代,我的母亲在晚上为别人做一些事情。)”和“Therefore, I wasn’t surprised when one evening my mother announced she had undertaken a new project.(因此,有一天晚上,当我母亲宣布她承担了一个新项目时,我并不感到惊讶。)”以及最后一段中的“I realize that my mother’s calls were life lines that ensured housebound seniors remained connected to the world. Without her, their world would have been empty.(我意识到我母亲的电话是确保居家老年人与世界保持联系的生命线。没有她,他们的世界将是空的。)”并结合全文的内容可知,作者的母亲晚上给老年人打电话成了老年人与世界联系的生命线,让他们不会觉得太孤单,综上所述,本文的标题为“夜间通话,生命线通话”符合文章主题。故选D项。

“Creativity is the key to a brighter future,” say education and business experts. Here is how schools and parents can encourage this important skill in children.
If Dick Drew had listened to his boss in 1925, we might not have the product that we now think greatly important: a new type of tape. Drew worked for the Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Company. At work he developed a kind of material strong enough to hold things together. But his boss told him not to think more about the idea. Finally, using his own time, Drew improved the tape, which now is used everywhere by many people. And his former company learned from its mistake. Now it encourages people to spend 15 percent of their working time just thinking about and developing new ideas.
Creativity is not something one is just born with, nor is it necessarily a character of high intelligence (智力). The fact that a person is highly intelligent does not mean that he uses it creatively. Creativity is the matter of using the resources one has to produce new ideas that are good for something.
Unfortunately, schools have not tried to encourage creativity. With strong attention to test results and the development of reading, writing and mathematical skills, many educators give up creativity for correct answers. The result is that children can gain information but can't recognize ways to use it in new situations. They may know the rules correctly but they are unable to use them to work out practical problems.
It is important to give children choices. From the earliest age, children should be allowed to make decisions and understand their results. Even if it's choosing between two food items for lunch, decision-making helps thinking skills. As children grow older, parents should try to let them decide how to use their time or spend their money. This is because the most important character of creative people is a very strong desire to find a way out of trouble.
48. What did the company where Drew once worked learn from its mistake?
A. People should be discouraged to think freely.
B. It should encourage people to work a longer time.
C. People will do better if they pay all attention to their work.
D. People should spend some of their working time thinking creatively.
49. What can we know from the passage about creativity?
A. It is something that most people are born with.
B. It is something that has nothing to do with intelligence at all.
C. It is a way of using what one has learned to work out new problems.
D. It is something that is not important to the life in the future at all.
50. Why don't schools try to encourage creativity?
A. They don't attach importance to creativity education.
B. They don't want their students to make mistakes.
C. They pay no attention to examination marks.
D. They think it impossible to develop creativity in class.
51. What should the parents do when their children decide how to spend their money?
A. Allow them to have a try.
B. Try to help them as much as possible.
C. Take no notice of whatever they do.
D. Order them to spend the least money.
【答案】48. D 49. C 50. A 51. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了创造力是拥有一个更光明的未来的关键,它并非是人与生俱来的,需要后天的培养。不幸的是,学校对创造力的培养并不重视。学校和父母应该重视对创造力的培养。
【48题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“And his former company learned from its mistake. Now it encourages people to spend 15 percent of their working time just thinking about and developing new ideas.(他的前公司从错误中吸取了教训。现在,它鼓励人们把15%的工作时间花在思考和发展新想法上。)”可知,Drew的前公司从错误中吸取了教训,认为花时间思考和开发新的想法是很有必要的。故选D项。
【49题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Creativity is the matter of using the resources one has to produce new ideas that are good for something.(创造力是指利用所拥有的资源来产生对某事有益的新想法。)”可知,创造力是一种利用所学知识来解决新问题的方法。故选C项。
【50题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段“With strong attention to test results and the development of reading, writing and mathematical skills, many educators give up creativity for correct answers.(随着对考试结果的高度关注以及阅读、写作和数学技能的发展,许多教育工作者放弃了寻找正确答案的创造力。)”可知,许多教育工作者并不重视创造力教育。故选A项。
【51题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“As children grow older, parents should try to let them decide how to use their time or spend their money. (随着孩子年龄的增长,父母应该试着让他们决定如何利用时间或花钱。)”可知,父母应该试着让孩子自己决定如何利用他们的时间或花钱。故选A项。
D
What is a barrier? It usually refers to an obstacle or a difficulty that prevents you from achieving something. Whether it was in your past, or you’ re presently facing one, you have to resolve it. While many people avoid barriers, deny their existence or let barriers control themselves, what stand you take on barriers will define the outcome of whether you rise from the challenge, or remain stuck in it. Here are some more great things to love about barriers.
First of all, barriers give you motivations. Sometimes barriers can reset your goals. You might be faced with setbacks or difficulties, you’ re forced to re-think, and re-examine your path. You may end up focusing on something new and exciting. Or, you may concentrate on something that you otherwise wouldn’t have if not for the particular setback. By having to overcome an obstacle, you’ll be fulfilling a purpose, rather than just going through the motions.
Also, barriers prepare you for the unexpected. They serve as guides for where to go next. Even though barriers can bring out many negative emotions in us, such as frustration, anger, or sadness, it’s important to realize that they don’t stop you from reaching your intended goals. Instead, they, in a way, give you time to stop and think if perhaps there is a new and better path to take and what you can prepare for what will happen along the way. Barriers shift your perspective.
Barriers, more often than not, are unavoidable. Life will never stop throwing you new barriers. So, the best thing to do is know how to better see and approach these obstacles, and transform them into opportunities for self-improvement. The more you’re able to see barriers as being an advantage to your life, the better you’ll be at managing them.
It will be rewarding to accept barriers, which will make you constantly change and adapt to new situations, thus allowing you to grow into a better version of yourself.
52. What is the determining factor of the outcome when facing barriers?
A. Your specific goals. B. Your own attitude.
C. Your diverse preparations. D. Your strong will power.
53. Which of the following is true about barriers?
A. They bring you positive emotions.
B. They prevent you from realizing your goals.
C. They are avoidable if you prepare for them well.
D. They enable you to view things in a different way.
54. What does the underlined word “approach” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. To cope with. B. To go over.
C. To come near to sb. D. To speak to sb about sth.
55. What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. Life is always throwing us barriers. B. Barriers are double-edged swords.
C. Embracing barriers benefits a lot. D. Meeting barriers is actually avoidable.
【答案】52. B 53. D 54. A 55. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇议论文。主要论述了是什么是障碍以及障碍会给你带来好处。接受障碍是有益的,这会让你不断改变和适应新的情况,从而让你成长为一个更好的自己。
【52题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“While many people avoid barriers, deny their existence or let barriers control themselves, what stand you take on barriers will define the outcome of whether you rise from the challenge, or remain stuck in it.”(当许多人回避障碍,否认它们的存在或让障碍控制自己时,你对障碍的立场将决定你是从挑战中崛起,还是陷入困境。)以及倒数第二段中“So, the best thing to do is know how to better see and approach these obstacles, and transform them into opportunities for self-improvement. The more you’re able to see barriers as being an advantage to your life, the better you’ll be at managing them.”(所以,最好的办法就是知道如何更好地看待和处理这些障碍,并将它们转化为自我提升的机会。你越能把障碍看作是你生活中的优势,你就越能更好地处理它们。)可推知,当面对障碍时,决定结果的因素是你自己的态度。故选B项。
【53题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“You might be faced with setbacks or difficulties, you’ re forced to re-think, and re-examine your path.”(你可能会遇到挫折或困难,你被迫重新思考,重新审视你的道路。)以及第三段中“Instead, they, in a way, give you time to stop and think if perhaps there is a new and better path to take and what you can prepare for what will happen along the way.”(相反,在某种程度上,它们会给你时间停下来思考是否有一条新的更好的道路可以走,以及你可以为沿途发生的事情做些什么准备。)可知,关于障碍,“它们能让你以不同的方式看待事物”这个陈述是正确的。故选D项。
【54题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段中“Life will never stop throwing you new barriers.”(生活永远不会停止给你设置新的障碍。)以及划线单词句中“and transform them into opportunities for self-improvement.”(并将它们转化为自我提升的机会。)由此可知,此处为:所以,最好的办法就是知道如何更好地看待和处理这些障碍。故可此处划线单词approach为“处理”的意思,结合A选项中的To cope with“应付,处理”意思一致。故选A项。
【55题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及最后一段“It will be rewarding to accept barriers, which will make you constantly change and adapt to new situations, thus allowing you to grow into a better version of yourself.”(接受障碍是有益的,这会让你不断改变和适应新的情况,从而让你成长为一个更好的自己。)可知,文章主要讲的是什么是障碍以及障碍会给你带来的好处。接受障碍是有益的,这会让你不断改变和适应新的情况,从而让你成长为一个更好的自己。由此可知,这篇文章的主旨是“拥抱障碍会带来很多好处”。故选C项。

The Best National Parks to Visit in Winter
While most parks tend to draw families in the summer and fall, there are also ideal spots for adventurous winter trips.
Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming
The country’s oldest and best-known national park takes on an almost otherworldly atmosphere in winter: the air filled with rolling steam, the strong colors of hot springs, the surrounding white landscapes, let alone the impressive wildlife during this time, like bison, wolves, and playful red foxes. Just book a guided hiking tour to get a ranger’s perspective on the park and local people.
Joshua Tree National Park, California
With its giant red rocks and unique trees, you’ll feel like stepping onto a foreign planet as you spend hours hiking the Panorama Loop or Maze Loop. The park is recognized as an International Dark Sky Park, featuring virtually zero light pollution and the country’s best views of a starry sky.
Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona
A significantly lower number of visitors in winter means you can take in unblocked views of the South Rim, and get to see the rare beauty of the Grand Canyon dusted with snow. For those adventurous and daring, it is recommended to hike the Bright Angel Trail and take the chance to see the canyon’s wintertime wildlife, including mule deer, elk, and bald eagles.
Virgin Islands National Park, St. John
Surprise! Not all wintertime national park trips need to involve snow. Virgin Islands National Park is most famous for its white-sand beaches. You can also hike inland to visit old sugar plantations, or venture out to the water to swim along with sea turtles and manta rays. You will definitely enjoy a different winter here.
41. Which park will one choose if he/she is interested in stars?
A. Yellowstone National Park. B. Joshua Tree National Park.
C. Grand Canyon National Park. D. Virgin Islands National Park.
42. What do we know about the Grand Canyon National Park?
A. We can have a poor view of the South Rim there. B. It lies in an area with rolling steam and hot springs.
C. There is a slight decline in visitor numbers in winter. D. The Bright Angel Trail is challenging in cold weather.
43. Which activity is mentioned in all of the parks?
A. Hiking. B. Skiing. C. Swimming. D. Hunting.
B
In my childhood, my mother spent her evening hours doing something for someone else. Sometimes she knitted (编织) hats for babies, and at other times, she cooked chicken soup for sick neighbors. Therefore, I wasn’t surprised when one evening my mother announced she had undertaken a new project.
“I am going to telephone seniors,” said my mother. “Every night? But you don’t even know these people.” “It doesn’t matter,” she said. “What’s important is that I listen.” I was sixteen years old and couldn’t understand why my mother was willing to spend her evenings talking to strangers. She had friends and my two older sisters to call if she felt lonely. “They will talk your ear off. Some people didn’t even stop to catch breath,” I said.
My attitude didn’t stop my mother’s enthusiasm for the project. That evening, she settled on the sofa and dialed. For a while, I listened as she asked the woman on the other line about her day and what she had eaten for dinner. When she finished the call, I said, “Why do you care whether she had cookies or rice pudding for dessert?” My mother grasped one of my hands and gave it a slight squeeze. “I’m the only person she talked to today.”
It took me more than thirty years to fully understand the meaning of that statement. Now, as my mother is nearing eighty, I find myself thinking about those nightly calls she used to make. I am often the only person who telephones my mother, and sometimes I’m the only person she speaks to all day. I ask her what she cooked for dinner, but mostly I just listen as she describes a walk she took, or how her dog Lucky stole foods from the refrigerator. I realize that my mother’s calls were life lines that ensured housebound seniors remained connected to the world. Without her, their world would have been empty.
44. What is the mother’s purpose of calling the seniors?
A. To care about their life.
B. To know what they eat for dinner.
C. To make them feel less lonely.
D. To teach them how to make desserts.
45. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A They will talk all the time on the phone.
B. They will blame others’ wrong doings.
C. They will be tired of listening to others.
D. They will make you feel really satisfied.
46. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. The author started to telephone seniors as her mother.
B. The author realized the value of her mother’s efforts.
C. The author’s mother preferred to live alone.
D. The author’s mother still remains disconnected to the world.
47. What is the suitable title for the passage?
A. Call parents often, love them always
B. Mother’s evenings
C. A new project
D. Nightly calls, lifeline calls
