As “winterkeeper” at Yellowstone National Park, Steven Fuller lives in a small house set on a hill a short walk from the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone. When the windows are open, he can hear the 308-foot falls crashing into the canyon.
His life might seem perfect now, but when Fuller and his English wife, Angela, landed the winterkeeping task in 1973, he was the only applicant. “Back then, this was considered a hardship post where the seclusion (与世隔绝) would drive people crazy,” Fuller recalls, noting they had no phone or TV and listened to the radio.
Fuller says the changes he has observed in Yellowstone have been obvious. Yellowstone is dealing with record numbers of visitors and yet, Fuller notes, the park is in some ways wilder than when he arrived. Grizzly bears, whose numbers in the park dropped to just 136 in the 1970s, have been rescued from a population drop. The bison (野牛) population, which numbered just 23 at one point in the late 19th century, is 5,000 today.
Besides, Fuller is concerned about climate change. “We’ve had -20℉ more often, but not the deep cold stretches of -30℉, -40℉, sometimes -50℉ that were a characteristic aspect of winter here,” Fuller says. “The trend, overall, is in the direction of the earlier spring melt (融化).” Such conditions mean the snowpack is melting during winter and leaving the mountains earlier in spring, which causes some rivers to run lower in late summer and drier forests, and a higher risk of wildfires.
Despite the challenges, Fuller could not imagine living anywhere else. Fuller shares stories of the bison that recently rested in the snow near a walkway leading to his front door, and of grizzlies walking around his “wild neighbourhood”. Fuller has never been injured, but he often stays away from wildlife out of respect for their space. “Protecting nature for its own benefit was an amazing expression of foresight that we are only now beginning to fully understand,” Fuller says.
4. What were Fuller’s living conditions like in 1973?
A. Busy with TV and phone. B. Crowded with many tourists.
C. Being away from other people. D. Being attacked by animals often.
5. What can be learned from Fuller’s observation?
A. Human activities are good for wildlife. B. The population of bison has increased.
C. Visitors help protect grizzly bears’ home. D. Lots of bears were rescued before 1970s.
6. What is Fuller’s attitude towards wildlife?
A. Respectful. B. Worried. C. Doubtful. D. Unclear.
7. What can be the best title for the text?
A. The Loneliest Job in the World
B. How Tourism Saved the National Park
C. Climate Change: A Winterkeeper’s Warning
D. Over 50 Years of Watching Yellowstone Change
C
When a manuscript (手稿) of Antoine de Saint-Exupery’s The Little Prince went up for sale, the literary world-including book sellers, art lovers, and adults who “remember”—was filled with various voices. Filled with the author’s notes, the copy’s price was rising to $1.25 million.
The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupery was published at the height of World War Ⅱ. It is one of the world’s best-selling books. Experts say the sales of the book are more than the first Harry Potter and The Hobbit combined (总共的). The classic has been translated into over 500 languages.

Saint-Exupery wrote The Little Prince in the style of a children’s book. The novel tells a young boy who travels from planet to planet and finally to Earth.

The manuscript is one of only three known copies. It features what may be the first written appearance of one of the book’s most famous lines: “It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; the spirit is invisible to the eye.”
Besides the author’s handwritten corrections, the old manuscript also contains two pencil drawings by Saint-Exupery, including a drawing for the book’s final illustration (插画).
After 13 years in the business, Jay calls The Little Prince manuscript “a high point” He says, “I don’t quite see how I’m ever going to beat this.”

A. He disappeared in a plane crash.
B. He gave up writing and became a pilot.
C. He added one more story to The Little Prince.
D. He moved to the United States to escape the war.
11. What is the main purpose of the text?

Fans of the later Star Wars movies might remember BB-8, the robot that has been described as “a living soccer ball”. And if you’ve ever wondered what it might be like to have your own ball-shaped robot friend, Samsung could be about to make your dreams come true.
The South Korean company has been presenting its newest version (版本) of a personal home assistant robot named “Ballie”. It is perhaps not quite as cute or quite as round as BB-8, but Samsung says its robot does lots of useful jobs around the house.
The company actually introduced an earlier, smaller version of Ballie four years ago, but that one never went on sale. This newest version is about the size of a bowling ball, and can move around a home on its own. It is a little bit like a moving version of a home voice assistant, with a few extra features. It uses artificial intelligence (AI) to learn users habits. That might mean telling us to water the flowers or give some food to the dog, while it also has a projector (投影仪) that can project videos or calls onto the wall or the floor.
Ballie is designed to do a bit of everything: use its camera to check on the home or animals while you’re out, automatically (自动地) answer the phone, and turn lights or other things on and off. It can also receive instructions by text message as well as speech, so you can give it jobs to do while you’re away.
The company said the robot will be on sale this year, although the exact price has not yet been decided.
12. Why does the author mention BB-8 in the first paragraph?
A. To start a discussion. B. To lead in the topic.
C. To introduce a movie. D. To praise a Korean company.
13. What is special about the new Ballie over the older version?
A. It is smaller in size. B. It can move around by itself.
C. It is much cheaper. D. It looks exactly like BB-8.
14. What can Ballie do to help users at home?
A. It can feed the pets. B. It can make phone calls.
C. It can project videos onto the wall. D. It can clean floors automatically.
15. What is still unknown about Ballie according to the text?
A. Its exact price. B. Its appearance.
C. Its projection function. D. Its ability to use AI.

A MOTHER’S DAY SURPRISE
The twins were filled with excitement as they thought of the surprise they were planning for Mother’s Day. How pleased and proud Mother would be when they brought her breakfast in bed. They planned to make French toast and chicken porridge. They had watched their mother in the kitchen. There was nothing to it. Jenna and Jeff knew exactly what to do.
The big day came at last. The alarm rang at 6 a.m. The pair went down the stairs quietly to the kitchen. They decided to boil the porridge first. They put some rice into a pot of water and left it to boil while they made the French toast. Jeff broke two eggs into a plate and added in some milk. Jenna found the bread and put two slices into the egg mixture. Next, Jeff turned on the second stove (炉子) burner to heat up the frying pan. Everything was going smoothly until Jeff started frying the bread. The pan was too hot and the bread turned black within seconds. Jenna threw the burnt piece into the sink(洗碗槽) and put in the other slice of bread. This time, she turned down the fire so it cooked nicely.
Then Jeff noticed steam (蒸汽) shooting out of the pot and the lid (盖子) starting to shake. The next minute, the porridge boiled over and put out the fire. Jenna panicked (惊慌). Thankfully, Jeff stayed calm and turned off the gas quickly. But the stove was a mess now. Jenna told Jeff to clean it up so they could continue to cook the rest of the porridge. But Jeff’s hand touched the hot burner and he gave a cry of pain. Jenna made him put his hand in cold water. Then she caught the smell of burning. Oh dear! The piece of bread in the pan had turned black as well.

His life might seem perfect now, but when Fuller and his English wife, Angela, landed the winterkeeping task in 1973, he was the only applicant. “Back then, this was considered a hardship post where the seclusion (与世隔绝) would drive people crazy,” Fuller recalls, noting they had no phone or TV and listened to the radio.
Fuller says the changes he has observed in Yellowstone have been obvious. Yellowstone is dealing with record numbers of visitors and yet, Fuller notes, the park is in some ways wilder than when he arrived. Grizzly bears, whose numbers in the park dropped to just 136 in the 1970s, have been rescued from a population drop. The bison (野牛) population, which numbered just 23 at one point in the late 19th century, is 5,000 today.
Besides, Fuller is concerned about climate change. “We’ve had -20℉ more often, but not the deep cold stretches of -30℉, -40℉, sometimes -50℉ that were a characteristic aspect of winter here,” Fuller says. “The trend, overall, is in the direction of the earlier spring melt (融化).” Such conditions mean the snowpack is melting during winter and leaving the mountains earlier in spring, which causes some rivers to run lower in late summer and drier forests, and a higher risk of wildfires.
Despite the challenges, Fuller could not imagine living anywhere else. Fuller shares stories of the bison that recently rested in the snow near a walkway leading to his front door, and of grizzlies walking around his “wild neighbourhood”. Fuller has never been injured, but he often stays away from wildlife out of respect for their space. “Protecting nature for its own benefit was an amazing expression of foresight that we are only now beginning to fully understand,” Fuller says.
4. What were Fuller’s living conditions like in 1973?
A. Busy with TV and phone. B. Crowded with many tourists.
C. Being away from other people. D. Being attacked by animals often.
5. What can be learned from Fuller’s observation?
A. Human activities are good for wildlife. B. The population of bison has increased.
C. Visitors help protect grizzly bears’ home. D. Lots of bears were rescued before 1970s.
6. What is Fuller’s attitude towards wildlife?
A. Respectful. B. Worried. C. Doubtful. D. Unclear.
7. What can be the best title for the text?
A. The Loneliest Job in the World
B. How Tourism Saved the National Park
C. Climate Change: A Winterkeeper’s Warning
D. Over 50 Years of Watching Yellowstone Change
【答案】4. C 5. B 6. A 7. D

Fans of the later Star Wars movies might remember BB-8, the robot that has been described as “a living soccer ball”. And if you’ve ever wondered what it might be like to have your own ball-shaped robot friend, Samsung could be about to make your dreams come true.
The South Korean company has been presenting its newest version (版本) of a personal home assistant robot named “Ballie”. It is perhaps not quite as cute or quite as round as BB-8, but Samsung says its robot does lots of useful jobs around the house.
The company actually introduced an earlier, smaller version of Ballie four years ago, but that one never went on sale. This newest version is about the size of a bowling ball, and can move around a home on its own. It is a little bit like a moving version of a home voice assistant, with a few extra features. It uses artificial intelligence (AI) to learn users habits. That might mean telling us to water the flowers or give some food to the dog, while it also has a projector (投影仪) that can project videos or calls onto the wall or the floor.
Ballie is designed to do a bit of everything: use its camera to check on the home or animals while you’re out, automatically (自动地) answer the phone, and turn lights or other things on and off. It can also receive instructions by text message as well as speech, so you can give it jobs to do while you’re away.
The company said the robot will be on sale this year, although the exact price has not yet been decided.
12. Why does the author mention BB-8 in the first paragraph?
A. To start a discussion. B. To lead in the topic.
C. To introduce a movie. D. To praise a Korean company.
13. What is special about the new Ballie over the older version?
A. It is smaller in size. B. It can move around by itself.
C. It is much cheaper. D. It looks exactly like BB-8.
14. What can Ballie do to help users at home?
A. It can feed the pets. B. It can make phone calls.
C. It can project videos onto the wall. D. It can clean floors automatically.
15. What is still unknown about Ballie according to the text?
A. Its exact price. B. Its appearance.
C. Its projection function. D. Its ability to use AI.
【答案】12. B 13. B 14. C 15. A

【导语】文章讲述了端午节前夕,一艘来自湖南益阳兰溪镇、近20米长的龙舟长途跋涉来到北京,在奥林匹克森林公园湖面上“竞渡”,为首都增添节日氛围。
【36题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:随着端午节的临近,一位特殊的“客人”从湖南省“赛”进了北京,为首都增添了节日的欢乐气氛。逗号后为非限制性定语从句,先行词是前面整个句子,在从句中作主语,所以用关系代词which引导。

A MOTHER’S DAY SURPRISE
The twins were filled with excitement as they thought of the surprise they were planning for Mother’s Day. How pleased and proud Mother would be when they brought her breakfast in bed. They planned to make French toast and chicken porridge. They had watched their mother in the kitchen. There was nothing to it. Jenna and Jeff knew exactly what to do.
The big day came at last. The alarm rang at 6 a.m. The pair went down the stairs quietly to the kitchen. They decided to boil the porridge first. They put some rice into a pot of water and left it to boil while they made the French toast. Jeff broke two eggs into a plate and added in some milk. Jenna found the bread and put two slices into the egg mixture. Next, Jeff turned on the second stove (炉子) burner to heat up the frying pan. Everything was going smoothly until Jeff started frying the bread. The pan was too hot and the bread turned black within seconds. Jenna threw the burnt piece into the sink(洗碗槽) and put in the other slice of bread. This time, she turned down the fire so it cooked nicely.
Then Jeff noticed steam (蒸汽) shooting out of the pot and the lid (盖子) starting to shake. The next minute, the porridge boiled over and put out the fire. Jenna panicked (惊慌). Thankfully, Jeff stayed calm and turned off the gas quickly. But the stove was a mess now. Jenna told Jeff to clean it up so they could continue to cook the rest of the porridge. But Jeff’s hand touched the hot burner and he gave a cry of pain. Jenna made him put his hand in cold water. Then she caught the smell of burning. Oh dear! The piece of bread in the pan had turned black as well.
