引人入胜的公园
第一部分
Here are some of London’s best parks for you to explore.
St. James’s Park
At 23 hectares (公顷), St. James’s is the second-smallest of the eight royal parks after The Green Park. But what it lacks in size it makes up for in beauty, with brightly-coloured flower beds, a lovely lake and a fountain. It is famous for its pelicans (鹈鹕), which were introduced to the park in 1664 as a gift from the Russian Ambassador to King Charles Ⅱ.
Hyde Park
From hunting to ice-skating, central London’s largest green space really has seen it all. Today Hyde Park is a centre of activity throughout the year. If you’re with kids, visit the nearby Princess Diana Playground, where unaccompanied adults are turned away at the gate. The summer season means festivals, with a large section of the park used for open-air concerts.
Regent’s Park
As one of the largest parks of central London, Regent’s Park is also one of the loveliest green spaces. Among its many attractions are London Zoo, Regent’s Canal, a boating lake, and sports pitches. Performances take place here in an open-air theatre during summer. To the north of Regent’s Park is Primrose Hill, a lovely spot for a relaxing walk or picnic, offering extraordinary views over the city skyline.
Hampstead Heath
With its rolling woodlands, grasslands and abundant wildlife, Hampstead Heath feels far away from the city. Swimmers head to the three bathing ponds, two of which are open year round. Hampstead Heath is home to a variety of butterflies and bird species. This is a wonderful place for a walk, especially to the top of Parliament Hill, which offers expansive views across London.

第二部分
20-year-old Edgar McGregor decided to visit his local park, Eaton Canyon, day in and day out to pick up as much litter as he could fit in two buckets (桶). Now, over 589 days and 19,000 Twitter followers later, he is more passionate than ever about his task to save the planet!
Edgar found out that Los Angeles would be the host of the 2028 Summer Olympic Games. Knowing the state of the national forest at the time, he feared that its grounds that were full of litter would make the city a “global embarrassment”, so he decided to make cleaning it up his new passion project.
As time went on, he began documenting his progress on Twitter. Soon, he began encouraging others to start park clean-up projects of their own.
As part of southern California’s Angeles National Forest, Eaton Canyon can see quite a bit of daily foot traffic. On one particularly busy day, Edgar spent five hours picking up litter and came away with over 1,000 pounds of rubbish. Rain or shine, Edgar headed over to carry out his task. He worked through conditions like snowstorms, a record heatwave, and even a forest fire on the opposite side of the park.
The more he did, the more treasures he discovered. In addition to a lot of old iPhones and cans, Edgar collected enough recyclables to earn around 30 dollars every few weeks, which he would donate to non-profits.
Recently, Edgar began noticing that the top-littered areas in the park were becoming few and far between. At one point, he spent four hours moving around the park and only returned with two buckets. Edgar plans to return to Eaton Canyon two or three times a week to keep up with the maintenance, and he is excited to start expanding his reach to new locations. Though he realizes this doesn’t mean his journey is complete, he is excited to have already achieved so much!

第三部分
Established in 1926, Great Smoky Mountains National Park is made up of ridge upon ridge of seemingly endless forest on the border between North Carolina and Tennessee. Called the Smokies due to the ever-present morning fog, this mountain range is world-famous for the diversity of its plant and animal life, the beauty of its ancient mountains, and its history of southern Appalachian mountain culture. With nearly 80 historic buildings, amazing displays of wildflowers, and enough wildlife, Great Smoky Mountains National Park offers countless activities to enjoy.
Great Smoky Mountains National Park stands as a testament to the beauty of the Appalachian region. In fact, it is the most frequently-visited national park in the country and hosts well over ten million annual visitors. Still not impressed? It gets more annual visitors than the Grand Canyon, Yosemite, and Yellowstone combined.
In the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, visitors can enjoy spotting wildlife, taking photos of the mountain landscapes, exploring historic buildings, and just getting bathed in the sights and sounds of the Smokies. Wildflower-covered grasslands make excellent spots for a picnic lunch, while the park’s scenic trails make excellent—if challenging—cycling routes as well. They also can fish for trout and bass, ride horses on many of the trails, and camp in one of the designated campsites. If you’re looking to set up your tent or park your car, the park has many places where you can do just that.
The park’s scenic trails, such as the Appalachian Trail, provide hikers with breathtaking views of mist-covered mountains, deep valleys, and amazing waterfalls. Imagine seeing elk (麋鹿) in their natural habitat, hearing the sounds of mountain rivers, and enjoying a stress-free afternoon hike to a breathtaking mountaintop. Why not spend a day touring Cades Cove and exploring the history and beauty of this pioneer community? When you’re done, walk down Little River Road and get lost in the beauty all around you.

Ecuador may have a new tourism advertising jingle(广告短歌). But they don’t want anyone to actually sing it. Indeed, the country’s latest national park is based on the idea that silence is golden. The South American country has become the first in the world to build a “quiet park”, a green stretch of land straddling(横跨) the Zabalo River where silence is protected like a natural resource.
There’re neither transport routes nor commercial development here. You can’t even hear the sound of power lines. Called Wilderness Quiet Park, which covers about a million acres, the land is owned by the native Cofn people of Ecuador. But hopes are high that this unique space in a world increasingly surrounded by noise will promote tourism in the region—quiet tourism, that is.
“The Zabalo River is a place of happiness,” says Gordon Hempton, an ecologist and co-founder of Quiet Park International—an agency devoted to spreading quiet across the globe. “It’s like walking inside a huge biological clock, where you can almost hear the ticking of nature.”
One of the key tests the Zabalo River passed for the certification process was having noise-free intervals(间隔) that lasted several hours. When the Zabalo River received its certification last year from Quiet Park International, Hempton described it as shelter for increasingly endangered silence.
“Natural quiet has become an endangered species without people knowing it,” he noted in a press release. “Science has made it clear that noise pollution is not just an annoyance, but causes health loss and dramatically impacts wildlife’s ability to survive. By certifying the Zabalo River as the world’s first quiet park, we’re paving the way for many more quiet parks around the globe.”
The park not only gives nature a chance to find its voice. The people who own the land have long viewed themselves as caretakers of the rivers and rainforests in the region but their numbers have dwindled to fewer than 2,000. So it’ll also help the Cofn Nation defend their lands and preserve their culture.
( )1.What is the country’s expectation of Wilderness Quiet Park?
A.It will attract more visitors.
B.It will grow more beautiful.
C.It will become much quieter.
D.It will develop local cultures.
( )2.What can be inferred from Gordon Hempton’s words in a press release?
A.Noise pollution won’t threaten wildlife’s survival.
B.There are few places untouched by human-made sounds.
C.International cooperation is needed to protect natural quiet.
D.Lack of quiet parks has drawn people’s attention globally.
( )3.What does the underlined word “dwindled” in the last paragraph mean?
A.Increased. B.Changed.
C.Limited. D.Decreased.
( )4.What is the text mainly about?
A.Growing demands for quiet parks.
B.The first quiet park in the world.
C.Quiet parks in a South American country.
D.A country’s efforts to improve a quiet park.

Plan your visit.
Have you gone to this park before? 1. Make sure that there are attractions that you and anyone else visiting the amusement park with you will like. If there isn’t, consider a different amusement park. While it may seem tempting(诱人的), riding rides in whatever order you feel like can mean you travel from one end of the park to the other many more times than is necessary, and your feet will be very sore as a result. 2.
Choose what to bring.
Bring snacks and water with you. Especially if you plan on spending the whole day in the park, having some snacks and water on hand can be helpful, since these may be expensive inside the park. Think ahead to the cost of amusement park tickets, where you’ll eat, and any souvenirs you or your group might want to purchase. 3.
4.
If you want to catch the shortest ride wait times and escape the heat of the day, get to the park as early as possible. And people do arrive earlier so they can dash to their favourite rides as soon as possible. 5. This way, you won’t have to carry around a giant stuffed animal or a lot of bags for the whole day.
A.Arrive early.
B.If not, research beforehand.
C.Enjoy your time in the park.
D.To avoid this, get a park map and use it.

渐进写作微技能:非谓语动词的写作——不定式、动名词
一、不定式
1.不定式作主语
动词不定式作主语时,常用it作形式主语,真正的主语置于句后。如:
As a foreign learner, it is difficult for you to understand the true meaning and culture of them. 作为一个外国学习者,你很难理解它们的真正含义和文化。
注意 常用句式有:
(1)It+be+名词+to do sth.
(2)It takes sb+some time+to do sth.
(3)It+be+形容词+of/for sb+to do sth.
2.不定式作表语,如:
My aim is to do well in every subject this term.
这个学期,我的目标是把每一门学科都学好。
3.不定式作宾语,如:
Although exhausted, she chose to continue working, determined to meet the deadline.
尽管筋疲力尽,她还是选择继续工作,决心在截止日期前完成任务。
注意 在consider, think, make, find, believe, feel等词后常用it作形式宾语,不定式或从句作真正的宾语。
We have found it easy to learn English well since we became his students. 自从我们成为他的学生后,我们发现学好英语很容易。
4.不定式作宾语补足语,如:
I am writing to invite you to attend the Music Festival to be held from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm next Sunday in my school.
我写信邀请你参加下周日在我的学校举办的音乐节,时间是从上午8点到下午5点。
5.不定式作定语,如:

因此,我写信给你,以表示我对你健康的关心。
7.不定式作插入语,如:
To be honest, his assistance has a great impact on me. 说实话,他的帮助对我影响很大。
二、动名词
1.动名词作主语
(1)动名词作主语表示抽象的概念,通常置于句首,谓语动词用单数形式。如:
Reading aloud is a good way of learning a language. 大声朗读是一个学习语言的好办法。
(2)置于句末,用it作形式主语,多见于下面几个句型:
①It is worth/worthwhile doing…
做……是值得的。
②It is a waste of time doing…
做……是浪费时间的。
③It is no use doing…
做……是没有用的。
2.动名词作宾语
有些动词、介词和含有介词的动词短语后常用动名词作宾语。如:
We should avoid hurting others if we can’t always be encouraging when we speak.
当我们说话时,如果我们不能总是鼓励他人,我们应该避免伤害他人。
After reading it, I felt a heavy load taken off my mind. 读完它后,我感到心中的重担卸了下来。
