内容正文:
Xiaohe wandered through the vast park, her eyes wide at its incredible sights.She followed a winding route past a sparkling fountain, its water swinging in arcs like dancing ribbons.Near a cottage with colorful cloth flags, she spotted a frozen glacier sculpture at the park's edge, its surface shining under the sun.The theme of “nature's wonders” stretched across the valley, blending boundaries between art and reality.A journalist interviewed visitors nearby, while the wind buffeted Xiaohe's hair, carrying a faint sour scent from lemon trees.She giggled, swinging on a wooden swing that overlooked the park's territory.Signs banned climbing on delicate structures, but Xiaohe felt no need—every stretch of this magical place already filled her with joy.

SAREK NATIONAL PARK
—EUROPE'S HIDDEN NATURAL TREASURE
1 A Summer Where the Sun Never Sleeps
I wake up to① the sound of the wind buffeting② the cloth③ of my tent.[1]Even though the sun is brightly shining, telling whether it is morning or night is impossible.[2]I'm above the Arctic Circle, where in summer the sun never sets. Checking my watch, I see that it is 7:30 a.m.I leave my tent and walk over to④ the mountain edge⑤.Spreading out⑥ before me, branches of the Rapa River⑦ flow through the valley below.I'm in the remote far north of⑧ Sweden in Sarek National Park, a place with no roads or towns.

[2]句中where引导非限制性定语从句, 修饰先行词the Arctic Circle。
2 A Land of Mountains and Ice
Sarek's mountains used to be⑨ covered by vast⑩ sheets of ice.[3]Around 9,000 years ago, this ice melted, leaving behind about 100 glaciers⑪.Soon after⑫,reindeer⑬ began to arrive.[4]Following the reindeer were the Sami people, who made this territory⑭ their home. Getting here is quite difficult, so apart from⑮ the Sami very few people have ever seen Sarek.In 1909, Sarek was made a national park in order to keep the land in its natural state⑯.[5]Though the Sami are allowed to⑰ continue their traditional way of life in the park, no one else can live here, and all new development is banned⑱ within park boundaries⑲. At the far side of the valley, an ancient Sami cottage⑳ is visible㉑.Close by, there are a few reindeer feeding on㉒ grass.
[3]句中leaving behind about 100 glaciers为现在分词短语作结果状语, leave behind留下。
[4]是倒装句, who引导非限制性定语从句, 修饰the Sami people。
[5]是一个复合句。Though在句中引导让步状语从句。
3 Man at Peace with Nature
For hundreds of years, looking after reindeer was a way of life for the Sami.They used the reindeer's meat for food, their bones for tools, and their skin for making clothes and tents.Since reindeer were always on the move㉓, the Sami would pick up㉔ their tents and accompany㉕ them.Today, most Sami have houses in villages near Sarek and live a modern life just like their neighbours.[6]But every spring, a small number of Sami still follow their reindeer into the valleys of Sarek, living in tents or old cottages and enjoying their traditions. I am not a Sami, but in Sarek I've adopted㉖ some of their habits.For example, this morning my breakfast is flat bread warmed over a fire, dried reindeer meat, and some sweet and sour㉗ berries that I found growing near my tent.
[6]句中living in tents or old cottages and enjoying their traditions作伴随状语。
4 A Land of Adventure
After breakfast, I pack my bag and set out㉘ again.Since I must carry all of my food and supplies with me, my bag weighs㉙ about 30 kilograms.[7]If today is anything like yesterday, it will be full of sweat and hard work as I hike over this difficult land to my destination on the other side㉚ of the valley. However, I cannot complain㉛.Being in such a beautiful and wild place makes me feel blessed㉜ to be alive.Here I am, alone under this broad sky, breathing the fresh air, and enjoying this great adventure.What could be better?
[7]是一个复合句。if在句中引导条件状语从句, as引导时间状语从句。

萨勒克国家公园——欧洲隐秘的自然瑰宝
1 一个夏天太阳永不落山的地方
风噼里啪啦地拍打着我的帐篷,我在这声响中醒来。尽管外面艳阳高照,我也分不清是早上还是夜晚。我身处北极圈之内,这里的夏天没有日落。我看了下手表,现在是上午7点30分。我迈出帐篷,走向山边,展现在我眼前的是拉帕河的支流在下边的山谷中逶迤而过。我身处瑞典北端偏远的萨勒克国家公园,一个既没有公路也没有城镇的地方。
2 一片为山脉和冰川覆盖的土地
萨勒克的山脉过去被大片冰层覆盖。大约九千年前,冰层消融,留下了约一百座冰川。不久之后,驯鹿开始出现。跟着驯鹿之后来的是萨米人,他们在这片土地上安家落户。这里交通极为不便,因此除了萨米人,很少有人见过萨勒克。1909年,萨勒克成为国家公园,以保持这片土地的自然状态。虽然萨米人可以在园内继续其传统生活方式,但其他人不能在此居住,而且公园边界内禁止一切开发活动。在山谷的另一边,可以看到一间古老的萨米人的小屋,旁边有几只驯鹿正在吃草。
3 人与自然和平相处
几百年来,照料驯鹿是萨米人的一种生活方式。他们用驯鹿的肉制作食物,用其骨头制作工具,并用其皮毛制作衣服和帐篷。由于驯鹿不断迁移,萨米人会收起帐篷,跟随而去。如今,大多数萨米人在萨勒克附近的村庄里都有自己的房屋,过着与他们的邻居一样的现代生活。但是每年春天,少数萨米人仍会跟随驯鹿进入萨勒克的山谷,居住在帐篷或老房子里,乐于遵循他们的传统。我不是萨米人,但是在萨勒克,我养成了萨米人的一些生活习惯。例如,今天早晨,我的早餐是火堆上烤热的大饼、驯鹿肉干以及长在帐篷周围的一些酸甜莓果。
4 冒险之地
早餐之后,我收拾行囊再次出发。由于我必须带上所有的食物和用品,我的背包重约30公斤。如果今天和昨天差不多,那将会充满汗水和艰辛,因为我要徒步跨越这片地形艰险的土地,到达山谷另一端的目的地。然而,我毫无怨言。置身这般美丽的荒原,我感到活着是如此幸福。置身于广阔的天空之下,我独自一人,呼吸着新鲜的空气,享受着这场伟大的冒险。还有什么比这更好的呢?

Completely wheelchairaccessible, the park features 25 acres of attractions including rides, playgrounds, a catchandrelease fishing lake, and picnic areas throughout the park.The rides are customdesigned to accommodate (给……提供方便) wheelchair riders so that they can also enjoy the fun.The adapted rides include the OffRoad Adventure, where guests can test their driving skills in sporty vehicles.Moreover, each visitor is offered a GPS Adventure Band, which allows them to keep track of their friends while in the park.The band also enables them to take part in electronic activities.For example, when the visitors scan the band at the OffRoad Adventure, a photo will be taken and sent to their email.
In June 2017, Morgan's Wonderland celebrated the opening of Morgan's Inspiration Island.The new expansion is composed of five themed splash pads and a River Boat Adventure Ride.The wheelchair guests can be moved out of their chairs into unique, waterproof chairs and enjoy the splash park without damage to their personal wheelchairs.
“Morgan taught me that there's more to life in many ways than what I saw before,” said Hartman.“The blessing that Morgan has brought is beyond anything that I ever could have imagined and could explain.”

Section Ⅱ Learning About Language—
The ing form (3) as the subject
分析下列课文原句
1....telling whether it is morning or night is impossible.
2.Getting here is quite difficult.
3.Being in such a beautiful and wild place makes me feel blessed to be alive.
4.Looking after reindeer was a way of life for the Sami.
【我的感悟】
(1)动词ing形式分为现在分词和动名词两种形式,现在分词不能作主语。
(2)动词ing形式作主语,通常直接表示动作或行为的整体,谓语动词用单数形式。
(3)动词ing形式作主语,表示经常性、习惯性动作。
一、动名词(短语)作主语
1.动名词(短语)作主语的功能及基本用法
动名词(短语)作主语时, 多表示经常性、习惯性的动作, 谓语动词多用单数形式。
①Wasting a person's time is the same as killing him for his property.
浪费别人的时间无异于谋财害命。
②Reading aloud is a good way to learn a language.
大声朗读是学习语言的一种好方法。
③Walking is a good form of exercise for both the young and the old.
散步对于年轻人和老年人来说都是一种好的锻炼方式。
【点拨】 动名词(短语)作主语时,谓语动词用单数;意义不同的两个动名词(短语)并列作主语时, 谓语动词需用复数形式。
①Traveling along the old Silk Road is an interesting and rewarding experience.
沿着古老的“丝绸之路”旅行是一次有趣、有意义的经历。
②Listening to the English tapes and watching English films are good ways to learn English.
听英文磁带和看英文电影是学英语的好方法。
2.形式主语it代替动名词(短语)作主语
为保持句子结构前后平衡,常用it作形式主语,而把作主语的动名词(短语)后置。此类句式常见的有:
(1)It's a waste of time doing sth
做某事是浪费时间
(2)It's useless/worthwhile doing sth
做某事是没用/值得的
(3)It's no good/no use/no fun doing sth
做某事没好处/没用/没意思
①It's no use complaining without taking action.
不行动只抱怨是没有用的。
②It is a waste of time talking about such useless things.
谈论这些没用的事情是在浪费时间。
3.句型“There be no+动名词(短语)”表示“不允许、禁止某种行为的发生或存在”时,需用动名词(短语)形式作主语。
①There is no denying that the environment is from bad to worse here.
不能否认这里的环境状况正在逐步恶化。
②There is no joking about such matters.
这种事开不得玩笑。

③Playing (play)computer games too much is bad for your eyes.
④Being educated (educate) in Beijing University is the dream of many students.
⑤Taking (take)a walk after supper is good for your health.
二、动词ing形式的否定形式
动词ing形式的否定形式通常是在其前加not, 带有逻辑主语时,not应放在逻辑主语和动词ing形式之间。
①Not knowing how to use a computer makes it more difficult for him to do his academic research.
不知道如何使用电脑使他更难进行学术研究。
②Not having done his homework makes the teacher angry.
他没完成他的作业让老师很生气。
三、动词ing形式的复合结构
动词ing形式的复合结构由物主代词或人称代词宾格、名词所有格或普通格加动词ing形式, 即“sb/sb's+doing”构成。动词ing形式的复合结构实际上是给动词ing形式加了一个逻辑主语。动词ing形式的复合结构有四种形式:
(1)形容词性物主代词+动词ing形式
(2)名词所有格+动词ing形式
(3)代词宾格+动词ing形式
(4)名词+动词ing形式
①Her coming to help encouraged all of us.
她来帮忙鼓舞了我们所有人。
②Mary's being ill made her mother upset.
玛丽病了, 这使她妈妈很着急。
【点拨】 动词ing形式的复合结构在句中作主语时, 不能用代词的宾格和名词的普通格形式。

(2025· 重庆黔江高二上检测)Most city parks are places where you can escape from big, ugly structures of metal and stone.The Manhattan High Line is different.Raised 25 feet above the ground, this large metal structure once supported a rail line.The line opened in 1934 to bring trains directly into factories.It was hardly used after the 1960s, and much of it was torn down.However, one part remained in a region of Manhattan called Chelsea.Chelsea was becoming highclass as restaurants, art galleries and apartments were built, but the ugly railway structure remained as a dead weight.Everyone knew that at some time, it would have to be removed.
But the High Line was not destroyed.In fact, now the old rail line serves as one of the most peaceful places in the city.It holds an incredible park, with beautiful gardens and great views of the city.The idea to turn the rail line into a park came from Joshua David and Robert Hammond.In 1999, they attended a meeting to decide how to deal with the High Line.David and Hammond were the only people at the meeting interested in saving the historical structure.Later on, when they asked railway officials to take them up to look at the High Line, they saw a mile and a hall of wild flowers growing in the middle of the city, and they realized that the High Line had potential to become a park.There was growing interest in improving city centers, and so the project quickly developed and money for construction was easily collected.
The first part of the High Line opened in 2009 and immediately became popular with tourists and locals alike.Each part of the park has a different atmosphere.Some areas are like balconies (阳台) with wonderful city views.Where the rail line goes between buildings, trees are thickly planted.Other sections have wide lawns (草坪) and walkways with wild flowers.Only the final section remains the way it has been for the last fifty years.
[语篇解读]本文是一篇说明文。文章主要向读者介绍曼哈顿铁路公园——由废弃的曼哈顿铁路干线转变成的公园。

A.Something with historical interest.
B.Something with potential to be better.
C.Something which is a danger to people.

解析:选D。词句猜测题。根据上文“However, one part remained in a region of Manhattan called Chelsea.Chelsea was becoming highclass as restaurants, art galleries and apartments were built”以及下文“Everyone knew that at some time, it would have to be removed.”可知,被保留下来的区域被叫作Chelsea,随着饭店、画廊和公寓的建造,这里变成了高级场所。但是丑陋的铁路结构仍然要被移除,说明丑陋的铁路已经没有用了,而且阻碍了这里的进步。所以画线短语的意思为“无用的减慢进步的东西”。故选D。
5.Why did David and Hammond originally want to save the High Line?
A.They wanted to reopen the train line.
B.They thought it had historical value.
C.They were interested in improving the city.
D.They thought it would become a good park.
解析:选B。细节理解题。根据第二段“David and Hammond were the only people at the meeting interested in saving the historical structure.”可知,David和Hammond赞同保留下这条铁路就是因为他们对保留历史结构感兴趣,觉得它们有历史的研究价值。故选B。
6.Which of the following statements about the High Line is correct?
A.All parts of it have the same atmosphere.
B.The first part gradually became popular.
C.One part of it remains the old way.
D.Trees were thinly planted in all areas.
解析:选C。细节理解题。根据最后一段“Only the final section remains the way it has been for the last fifty years.”可知,High Line还有一部分保留了以前的样子。故选C。
7.What is the text mainly about?
A.Closing a train line.
B.An unlikely place for a park.
C.Protection of cultural relics.
D.Improving city transport.
解析:选B。主旨大意题。根据第一段“Most city parks are places where you can escape from big, ugly structures of metal and stone.The Manhattan High Line is different.”及下文介绍可知,这篇文章主要是关于曼哈顿铁路公园——一个不太可能成为公园的地方。故选B。

(2025·甘肃白银高二上期末)We decided to check the Mount Huangshan, a remarkable mountain of China, after we 1 (read) lots of good reviews online about it.Here's a summary of our experience on climbing Mount Huangshan.
The beautiful views along the way got us distracted from our exhaustion.Especially when we 2 (reach) the top, the views were splendid!
As Mount Huangshan is known to be quite developed, we expected 3 climb to be relatively easy as compared to, say, climbing Mount Kinabalu, 4 turned out to be completely wrong!The steps were never ending and I felt like my legs 5 (be) going to break by the end of the first day!The exhaustion was probably due to our heavy backpacks as our original plan was 6 (camp) overnight at the summit.Actually, 7 (climb) to the top of Mount Huangshan requires a total of 60,000 steps!We hiked for about 6-7 hours 8 the first day.Though tiring, it was still an enjoyable experience as the view was 9 (incredible) amazing!We had to be prepared for our 10 (leg) to ache for the next 2-3 days though!My conclusion is that it was a rewarding journey to climb Mount Huangshan!

There's been growing concerns about the damaging impact of human travel on the environment in recent years.Irresponsible tourism is a main cause of environmental destruction.The destruction of the natural environment is an urgent matter as it directly affects everyone's wellbeing.1( ) As a student passionate about travel, you should leave as little carbon pollution as possible wherever you visit.
Avoid takeaways as many as possible
Buying “food to go” seems logical when you are in a rush.Though convenient, this kind of takeout packaging often uses disposable (一次性的) plastic boxes and bags, which can contribute significantly to environmental pollution if not properly disposed of.2( ) You can, instead, eat out in a restaurant while enjoying a scenic atmosphere.If you have to take away something like coffee, use a reusable cup.
Go for train or bus when traveling nationally
Transportation accounts for nearly a third of all greenhouse gases produced in the environment.Flying and driving, in particular, are major contributors to carbon emissions (排放) within the transportation sector, with domestic flying emitting more carbon than driving.3( )
Stay on designated roads and foot paths
Responsible tourism is about having as minimum physical interaction with the wild as possible.We not only protect the fragile ecosystems around us but also ensure our own safety.4( ) If you stray away from designated(指定) paths, you risk damaging plants and the natural habitat for animals.
Pick up trash after yourself and others
5( ) Instead of dropping trash, why not pick it up? You can significantly impact the environment by picking up trash along trails when hiking or backpacking for proper disposal.
In conclusion, responsible tourism is traveling with awareness, respect, and consideration for the places you visit.It's about ensuring that your travel experiences enrich not only your own lives but also contribute positively to the destinations you explore, leaving them better than you found them.
A.So stick to marked roads and footpaths.
B.Therefore, hike for some trips at times.
C.Pay attention to the trash while traveling.
D.Make a habit of collecting trash after yourself.
E.You don't have to be in a rush when on holiday.
F.Therefore, use public transport for short travels.
G.These concerns have resulted in the green travel campaign.

【综合能力提升练】
Ⅰ.阅读理解(每小题2.5分,共10分)
(2025·浙江省杭州绿城育华学校期中)Walt Disney is credited for creating such wonderful things as Donald Duck and Mickey Mouse.However, he cannot take the credit for creating other wellloved characters, such as Cinderella and Snow White.They are almost automatically associated with Disney because Disney turned old fables (寓言) into cartoon movies.
The original Cinderella varies very much from the Disney version we know today.It started off with the girl mourning her mother's death and going to her tomb three times a day.In addition, there were only birds that helped Cinderella; there was no such thing as a fairy godmother or helpful mice, nor was there mention of a horse and carriage.
The stepsisters were cruel: they always threw Cinderella's food into the ashes of the fire and made her sleep on the ashes on the floor, hence her name.
In the original story, the king's ball actually lasted for three days.With the help of the birds, the girl, beautifully dressed, danced with the prince on all three nights and the prince fell in love with her.However, she broke away from him to rush back home each night.On the last night, the prince placed something sticky on the stairs; as Cinderella made her escape, a shoe got stuck on it.
Here now is where the story becomes unpleasant: when the prince went to the house looking for the girl whose foot fit the shoe, the wicked (邪恶的) stepmother told one of her two daughters to cut off her big toe to fit into the shoe.The daughter did as told.So the prince took her away to be his bride.But when they passed the tomb of Cinderella's mother, the birds called out to the prince, “Turn and peep, there's blood in the shoe; the shoe is too small, and the true bride waits for you.” Realizing he had been tricked, the prince returned the daughter to her mother.The other then had to cut off part of her heel in order to fit into the shoe, with the same result.Only Cinderella's foot fit perfectly and so the prince chose to marry her.The story ends with the wedding day: as Cinderella's two stepsisters followed her, pretending to be devoted to her so that they could enjoy the king's riches, two birds flew by and plucked (啄) out their eyes.Because of their wickedness and falsehood, they had to spend the rest of their days blind.
The original Cinderella is so different from the Disney version.Thank goodness Disney made such changes; it indeed was a wise move.

10.解析:officially。考查副词。句意:这个主题公园预计将使武汉增添一个新的地标,促进该市旅游业的发展,在正式对外开放后每年吸引大约35万游客。空处需要副词修饰后面的动词opens。故填officially。

Aleeda Rodriguez Pedrasa has one of the most unusual jobs in the world.She gets paid by the Cuban government to make sure that a statue of John Lennon, a famous British musician, always has a pair of glasses on when tourists come to take a picture with it.
In the year 2000, on the 20th anniversary of John Lennon's death on December 8th,Cuba set up a bronze (青铜的) statue of the famous musician with his name carved (刻着) on it in the Havana Park.
The statue of John Lennon quickly became a major tourist attraction, but also a target for thieves who loved nothing more than to steal the artist's symbolic round glasses.In the beginning, the government would replace the stolen glasses with new ones, but the new pair wouldn't last long.
About two years ago, after seeing that Lennon's glasses constantly went missing, Aleeda started placing her own glasses on the statue.One day, they were stolen as well,and then another pair.But the authorities noticed her devotion and hired her as the official guardian of the glasses.Today,Pedrasa receives 245 Cuban pesos a month which is more than what most Cubans make.Her job is to look after the glasses and make sure that they are on the statue of Lennon's nose when tourists arrive at the Havana Park to take photos with him.

Banff National Park is Canada's firstborn national park and was recognized in 1885.Located in the Rocky Mountains of Alberta, Banff includes 6,641 square kilometers of glaciers and ice fields, thick coniferous forest, and alpine (高山的) scenery.The Icefields Parkway spreads from Lake Louise, connecting to Jasper National Park in the north.Provincial forests and Yoho National Park are neighbors to the west while Kootenay National Park is situated to the south.The main commercial center of the park is the town of Banff, in the Bow River valley.
The Canadian Pacific Railway was contributory in Banff's early years, building the Banff Springs Hotel and Chateau Lake Louise Hotel in the park and attracting tourists through widespread advertising.In the early 20th century, roads were built in Banff, at times by prisoners of World War Ⅰ, and through Great Depressionera public works projects, As Banff has over three million visitors annually, the health of its ecology has been endangered.In the mid1990s, Parks Canada launched a twoyear study to preserve ecological integrity.
Banff National Park has a subarctic climate (副极地气候) with three ecoregions.The forests feature lodgepole pine at lower heights and Engelmann spruce at higher ones below the tree line, above which are chiefly rocks and ice.Mammal (哺乳动物) species such as the grizzly bear, cougar, wolverine, moose and bighorn sheep are found along with hundreds of bird species.Reptiles (爬行动物) are also found but only a restricted number of species have been recorded.
The mountains were formed from sedimentary rocks (沉积岩) which were pushed east over newer rock formations, between 80 and 55 million years ago.Over the previous few million years, glaciers have at times covered most of the park, but today are found only on the mountainsides though they include the Columbia Icefield, the largest continuous glacial mass in the Rockies.Erosion (侵蚀) from water and ice has molded the mountains into their existing shapes.
