During the winter months, the beautiful green plants get covered in snow. So Canada is named Great White North. If you visit Canada, be sure to journey into one of these unforgettable national parks. Nahanni National Park is located in Northwest Territories. The Virginia Falls that is twice the height of Niagara is worth the trip to the national park. There are about 42 species of mammals and 180 species of birds found in the park. What’s more, you can plan a canoe or raft trip that’ll take you through the park. Jasper National Park is the largest national park in the Canadian Rockies, Summer and winter activities differ in Jasper National Park, but no one is better than the other. If you think sightseeing is impossible in the winter, think again! Take pictures of frozen waterfalls and get deeply impressed. If you visit Canada during the summer, you can look forward to hiking, horseback riding through the mountains, fishing and rafting. You should also be on the lookout for bears, wolves and moose (麋鹿) during guided wildlife tours. The Yoho National Park is accessible by road and enjoyable all year round. Yoho takes its name from an expression of great respect and wonder. Give yourself a full day to take in the roadside views and enjoy some easy walking. The Kicking Horse River makes a fine morning destination, with a stop at Natural Bridge. 21 According to the text, what is the other name of Canada? A. Great White North. B. Northwest Territories. C. The Rockies. D. Yoho. 22. If you visit Jasper National Park, which activity is impossible in summer? A. Horseback riding. B. Taking pictures of frozen waterfalls. C. Going sightseeing. D. Fishing and rafting. 23. Tourists can enjoy themselves in the Yoho National Park by ______. A. finding different birds and mammals B. planning a canoe or raft trip C. watching wildlife D. taking some easy walks B When you look at the extreme conditions of the environment on the Moon, you’ll understand why astronauts have found no signs of life. First, the climate varies sharply from 132 °C on the equator to between -30 °C and -50 °C at the poles. Add to that the sharp moon dust that flies about and the lack of atmosphere to protect you from solar radiation, and it isn’t exactly a trip to the beach. That said, initial space settlements won’t be as comfortable as those on the Earth. Tough inflatable (可充气的) tent-like structures that could house the astronauts would need to be protected from harmful radiation. For power sources, NASA researchers are looking into solar power technology. Although nights on the Moon can last 334 hours, researchers hope to build an energy storage system to keep as much energy as possible when the sun shines on the Moon. One outline for space settlement published by NASA says that average people, not just specially-trained astronauts, could one day live on spacecraft that orbit the Earth. Given the recent breakthroughs in lower-cost reusable space vehicles that are fueling plans for the space tourism industry, NASA predicts that such livable spacecrafts could be in existence in 50 years. As with the lunar base, the main problem attached to livable spacecraft is money. Private flights into space orbit have cost $20 million for one person. In addition to the problem of getting there, migrating to outer space means a huge risk. Humans can’t breathe freely outside of the Earth’s atmosphere, and the amount of solar heat can kill us. We would have to create well-protected areas with oxygen to survive. We’ll have a better idea in the next decade about the possibility of these space dreams turning into reality. 24. No signs of life are found on the Moon because ______ A. no moon dust flies about B. the temperature changes little C. there isn’t enough atmosphere D. the solar radiation is not strong 25. We can know from paragraph 2 that ______ A. no structures would need to be protected B. first space settlements will be comfortable enough C. a system is expected to be built to keep atmosphere D.many problems remain to be solved-with space settlement 26. What’s the main problem that livable spacecraft face? A.Money. B. Courage. C.Settlement. D. Atmosphere. 27. What is this article about? A.Science. B. Art. C.Sport. D. Entertainment. C It is sometimes jokingly said that you may skip a meal a day without any bad effect but skip using your WeChat for an hour and you will feel distinctly unwell. It is an acknowledgement of the fact that the app is no longer only a fun tool but an essential part of life for millions. Launched in January 2011, this messaging, social media and mobile payment app today has more than 1 billion individual users. People use it for everything, from applying for a business license to booking a hospital appointment to keeping up with family and friends, shopping and paying bills — activities that are part and parcel of our everyday life. When it was first introduced, WeChat was only an app supporting voice, video, picture and text messages between two persons or among a group. But today it has become ubiquitous. In the past, people carried their wallet and keys with them wherever they went; today, a smart phone with WeChat installed is all they need in daily life. Its functions like Moments and mini programs and the official WeChat accounts of government agencies and companies have made communication and public services accessible and convenient like never before. WeChat is also widely used by companies. Figures from Tencent show there are around 15 million WeChat official accounts, which enjoy 5 billion followers. Most businesses use their WeChat groups as a standard marketing kit. This has greatly reduced advertising, marketing and communication costs. However, there are concerns about the downsides of WeChat, such as addiction among primary school children. Equally serious is the misuse of WeChat for cheating or other crimes. However, it has to be kept in mind that these fallouts (后果) are not really the fault of WeChat, but due to the misuse of the app. If we learn to temper our use of messaging apps with prudence (谨慎) and pragmatism (实用主义), we could be looking forward to yet new conveniences and experience in this decade with the rapid development of 5G technology and artificial intelligence. Ultimately, the choice is ours, whether to use WeChat or any other new invention, wisely or wantonly (不受约束地). 28. What can we conclude from the first paragraph? A. We can easily skip a meal a day. B. We will be ill by not using WeChat. C. WeChat used to be meant for fun. D. WeChat has become inseparable in daily life. 29. The underlined word “ubiquitous” in Paragraph 3 probably has the same meaning as ______. A. wherever B. nowhere C. somewhere D. everywhere 30. For what reason do the government agencies choose to use WeChat? A. WeChat has a mobile payment function. B. They can improve their service through WeChat. C. Mini programs are convenient for the agencies. D. People do not have to carry keys and cash with them. 31. What is to be remembered when we look at the downsides of WeChat? A. WeChat should be held responsibly. B. WeChat should be banned among primary school children. C. The improper use of the app leads to many problems. D The 5G technology will bring new conveniences and experience. D The Yellow River is the cradle where China’s civilization first came into being. And flood control and prevention have always been key to the well-being of the people living along it. Now, scientists can better work on these issues by giving the river a digital twin. The digital twin of the Yellow River uses various technologies, including big data, artificial intelligence, and the internet of things. Instruments set up along the river collect and transfer information to the center. Based on the information, a 3D model of the river is presented on the computer screen. It’s like the Yellow River has a twin that reflects its real conditions. One big breakthrough in the river’s digital management is “smart stones”. According to Wang Qin, a lead researcher at the Information Center of Yellow River in Henan Province, a smart stone is a water-proof stone-shaped instrument with chips, a battery, and a signal transmitter. They are buried in important dike (堤坝) locations to record and report the movement of dike stones. “Upon feeling movement of the dike stones, the smart stone sends an alarm to the center for quick response,” Wang said. “In the past, researchers had to learn the conditions of the dike on the spot by themselves, putting their lives at risk,” said Zhao Xiao, an official from the Information Center of Yellow River in Henan Province. “Now the smart stones can do this for us, more safely, quickly, and accurately.” And in the sky, drones (无人机) are flying. On the routes designed by engineers, the drones become expert monitors of the river, looking at its dikes and flood prevention projects. According to Shen Lin from the Yellow River Conservancy Commission, thanks to the drones, researchers at the command center can get first-hand photos and information. “Researchers then update the 3D model according to the changes the drones reported. The new updated model helps us test our floodwater release plans in case we ever need to batten down the hatches (未雨绸缪),” said Shen. Under the water and up in the sky, intelligence systems are helping to protect the Yellow River Basin on all fronts. According to the Ministry of Water Resources, in the future, we can expect to see the construction of an even more comprehensive digital system for this important river. 32. What is the main purpose of creating a digital twin of the Yellow River? A. To conduct historical research. B. To create a virtual tourist attraction. C. To raise public awareness of river protection. D. To improve flood control and prevention efforts. 33. How do the smart stones contribute to the river’s digital governance? A. They record water quality. B. They improve the river’s beauty. C. They monitor and report dike movements. D. They serve as markers for important locations. 34. What can we infer about the drones’ role in the digital twin system? A. They are mainly used to test floodwater release plans directly. B. They provide key information for updating the 3D model. C. They work independently without following preset routes. D. They replace the need for on-site researchers entirely. 35. What is the text mainly about? A. The digital twin of the Yellow River. B. The drones have an important influence on flood prevention. C. How to control and prevent flood of the Yellow River. D. How to make the people living along the Yellow River richer. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How Sports Develop Empathy (共鸣) Sports do more than build physical strength — they develop children’s empathy that lasts a lifetime.

He wanted to be first to wish everyone a happy New Year. He looked in every room, and shouted the words of welcome. He ran into the street, to repeat them to those he might meet. When he came back, his father gave him two bright, new silver dollars. His face lighted up as he took them. He had wished for a long time to buy some pretty books that he had seen at the bookstore. He left the house with a light heart, intending to buy the books. As he ran down the street, he saw a poor German family, the father, mother, and three children shivering with cold. “I wish you a happy New Year,” said Edward, as he was happily passing by. The man shook his head. “You do not belong to this country?” said Edward. The man. again shook his head, for he could not understand or speak the English language. But he pointed to his mouth, and to the children, as if to say, “These little ones have had nothing to eat for a long time.” Edward quickly understood that these poor people were in a very difficult situation and required some help. He took out his dollars, and gave one to the man, and the other to his wife. How their eyes sparkled with gratitude! They said something in their language, which doubtless meant, “We thank you a thousand times, and will remember you in our prayers.” When Edward came home, his father asked what book he had bought. He hung his head a moment, but quickly looked up. “I have bought no books,” said he, “I gave my money to some poor people, who seemed to be very hungry.” Paragraph 1: “I think I can wait for my books till next New Year,” continued he. Paragraph 2: Hearing what his father said and holding the books his father gave him, Edward felt he was the happiest boy in the world. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
