If you’re looking for the ultimate outdoorsy getaway, this would be it. Hundreds of miles of hiking trails wind through forests, along streams and up mountains. Yellowstone attracts about three million visitors every year. When to Visit Yellowstone The best time to visit Yellowstone is from March to May and from September to November. These seasons feature both mild weather and fewer crowds. Summer is the most popular time to visit: the kids are out of school and the weather is warm enough to sleep outside. However, this park is no stranger to the cold. Temperatures have been known to drop into the 30s even in summer, and during the winter, they range anywhere from negative three to 25 degrees Fahrenheit.Don't let that stop you. There’s nothing quite like seeing plumes(飘升之物) of steam rise from beneath a thick blanket of snow. Getting around Yellowstone The best way to get around Yellowstone is by car, especially as there is no public transportation system. You can rent a car at any of the nearby airports.Each of Yellowstone’s five regions has an area to park, allowing you to leave the car behind and explore on foot. Guided tours are also available. Yellowstone Dining There are several restaurants, cafeterias and snack shops within the borders of Yellowstone National Park. Consider bringing along a cooler with lunch items and snacks—so you don’t have to worry about staying near one of the park’s more developed areas. Yellowstone is also home to several sit-down restaurants located in the most visited areas. Cafeterias serve burgers and sandwiches while upscale restaurants like the Lake Yellowstone Hotel Dining Room provide selections of game meats. Although the fare is far from fine, reservations are necessary during the busy summers. Yellowstone Hotels $199: four-star hotels in Jackson Hole $299: four-star Teton Mountain Lodge, from $299, $60/night $777: five-star Four Seasons Jackson Hole, from $777, $259/night For further information, please call: 419 627 2350 or click: http：//travel.usnews.com. 1.

What makes these places an almost universal attraction? What makes foreign kings and queens and other important people want to visit these Disney parks? Well, one reason is the way they’re treated once they get there. The people at Disney go out of their way to serve their “guests”, as they prefer to call them, and to see that they enjoy themselves. All new employees, from vice presidents to part-time workers, begin their employment by attending Disney University and taking “Traditions Ⅰ”. Here, they learn about the company's history, how it is managed, and why it is successful. They are shown how each department relates to the whole. All employees are shown how their part is important in making the park a success. After passing “Traditions Ⅰ”, the employees go on to do more specialized training for their specific(具体的) jobs. No detail(细节) is missed.A simple job like taking tickets requires four eight-hour days of training.When one ticket taker was asked why it took so much training for such a simple, ordinary job, he replied, “What happens if someone wants to know where the restrooms are, when the parade starts or what bus to take back to the campgrounds? …We need to know the answers or where to get them quickly. Our constant aim is to help our guests enjoy the party.” Even Disney’s managers get involved in the daily management of the park. Every year, the managers leave their desks and business suits and put on special service clothes. For a full week, the bosses sell hot dogs or ice cream, take tickets or drive the monorail, and take up any of the 100 jobs that make the entertainment park come alive. The managers agree that this week helps them to see the company’s goals more clearly. All these efforts to serve the public well have made Walt Disney Productions famous. Disney is considered by many as the best mass service provider in America or the world. As one long-time business observer once said, “How Disney treats people, communicates with them, rewards them, is in my view the very reason for his fifty years of success ... I have watched, very carefully and with great respect and admiration, the theory and practice of selling satisfaction and serving millions of people on a daily basis, successfully. It is what Disney does best.” 4. The first day they come to Disney parks, what do all new employees do? A. They begin by receiving on-the-job training. B. They must learn several jobs. C. They begin as ticket takers. D. They have already attended Disney University. 5. What is the main objective of the Disney employees?

[答案] 4—7 ABAC C At the Smithsonian's National Zoo, animals are getting their paws dirty with harmless water-based paints to create unique works of art.Is there a growing Picasso in the group? According to information from the zoo, painting is one of many activities that fall under Animal Enrichment—a program that provides physically and mentally stimulating(增进健康的) activities and environments for the zoo's residents.The animals have the opportunity not only to choose how to behave, but also to use their natural abilities and behaviors in new and exciting ways. Enrichment is a necessary part of the daily care of the species in the zoo's collection. Keepers carefully study animals’ behaviors and determine what kinds of enrichment programs are suitable for each species. Keepers have a number of choices for enrichment. They may change an exhibit, train an animal, introduce new smells, sounds, foods, and objects, or enlist an animal in a research project, such as a study about the skills to search for food or cognitive(认知的) research. Adding a variety of engaging activities helps keepers ensure the zoo's animals have a high quality of life. Though the subjects of the animals' paintings remain mysterious, visitors to the zoo can support the effort by dropping off canvas(画布), art paper, paint brushes or harmless water-based paints at the Visitor Center for the animal care staff to give to the animals. Zoo keepers are collecting gifts for the animals this holiday season. Art produced by many of the zoo's residents will be available for purchase at the American Association of Zoo Keepers’ Art Show, which will take place next spring.If you are interested, you can also go and buy one. 8.

To show the writer's interest. 9. What is the main purpose of Animal Enrichment? A. To help animals get enough food. B. To attract more visitors to the zoo. C. To teach the animals to behave well. D. To ensure a high quality of life for the animals. 10. Animals can join in all of the following enrichment activities EXCEPT . A. looking for food B. training other animals C. recognizing objects D. watching an exhibit 11. What does the underlined word “purchase” in the last paragraph mean? A. Buy. B. Touch. C. Paint. D. Watch [答案] 8—11 CDBA D When the explorers first set foot upon the continent of North America, the skies and lands were alive with an astonishing variety of wildlife. Native Americans had taken care of these precious natural resources wisely. Unfortunately, it took the explorers and the settlers who followed only a few decades to decimate a large part of these resources. Millions of waterfowl(水禽) were killed at the hands of market hunters and a handful of overly ambitious sportsmen. Millions of acres of wetlands were dried to feed and house the ever-increasing populations, greatly reducing waterfowl habitat. In 1934, with the passage of the Migratory Bird Hunting Stamp Act (Act), an increasingly concerned nation took firm action to stop the destruction of migratory(迁徙的) waterfowl and the wetlands so vital to their survival. Under this Act, all waterfowl hunters 16 years of age and over must annually purchase and carry a Federal Duck Stamp. The very first Federal Duck Stamp was designed by J. N. “Ding” Darling, a political cartoonist from Des Moines, Iowa, who at that time was appointed by President Franklin Roosevelt as Director of the Bureau of Biological Survey. Hunters willingly pay the stamp price to ensure the survival of our natural resources. About 98 cents of every duck stamp dollar goes directly into the Migratory Bird Conservation Fund to purchase wetlands and wildlife habitat for inclusion into the National Wildlife Refuge System—a fact that ensures this land will be protected and available for all generations to come. Since 1934, better than half a billion dollars has gone into that Fund to purchase more than 5 million acres of habitat. Little wonder the Federal Duck Stamp Program has been called one of the most successful conservation programs ever initiated. 12. What was a cause of the waterfowl population decline in North America? A. Loss of wetlands. B. Popularity of water sports. C. Pollution of rivers. D. Arrival of other wild animals. 13. What does the underlined word “decimate” mean in the first paragraph? A. Acquire. B. Export. C. Destroy. D. Distribute. 14. What is a direct result of the Act passed in 1934? A. The stamp price has gone down. B. The migratory birds have flown away. C. The hunters have stopped hunting. D. The government has collected money. 15. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text? A. The Federal Duck Stamp Story B. The National Wildlife Refuge System C. The Benefits of Saving Waterfowl D. The History of Migratory Bird Hunting [答案] 12—15 ACDA 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) Living in a culture that is different from your own can be both an exciting and challenging experience. You have to learn different cultural practices and try to adapt to them. 16 They talk about topics such as ages, income or marital(婚姻的) status, which Americans think is annoying and intrusive. In China, elders are traditionally treated with enormous respect and dignity while the young are cherished and nurtured. In America, the goal of the family is to encourage independence, particularly that of the children. 17 . Chinese people have different meanings to define friends. 18 Friendship means lifelong friends who feel deeply obligated to give each other whatever help might seem required. Americans always call people they meet friends, so the definition of friends is general and different. There are work friends, playing friends, school friends and drinking friends. As is well known, the Chinese like to save. 19 It is different in the USA, where far fewer families are saving money for emergencies and education than their Chinese counterparts. 20 If you achieve something in the US, it's because you were great. While in China, if you achieve something it's because the team, or family, or company is great. Everything you do gets attributed to the greater whole, while in America individual merits are celebrated. A. Just hanging out together from time to time is not friendship. B. Chinese people put more emphasis on good character and faith. C. Chinese people value education and career more than Americans. D. They are always conservative when they are planning to spend money. E. Basically China values the community and the US values the individual. F. Chinese people do not have the same concept of privacy as Americans do. G. Unlike the Chinese, older Americans seldom live with their children.

The last class I had to take was Sociology(社会学). The teacher was absolutely inspiring with the qualities that I wish every human had been graced with. Her last project of the term was called “Smile”. The class was asked to go out and smile at three people and record their reactions. I am a very friendly person and always smile at everyone and say hello anyway, so, I thought this would be a piece of cake. Soon after we were given the project, my husband, my youngest son, and I went out to McDonald’s one cold March morning. It was just our way of sharing special playtime with our son.We were standing in line, waiting to be served, when all of a sudden everyone around us began to back away, and then even my husband did. I did not move a bit.A strong feeling of fear welled up inside of me as I turned to see why they had moved. As I turned around I smelled a terrible “dirty body” smell, and there standing behind me were two poor homeless men. As I looked down at the short gentleman, close to me, he was “smiling”. His beautiful sky blue eyes were full of hope as he searched for acceptance. He said, “Good day.” as he counted the few coins he had been holding. The second man was obviously mentally disabled. I held my tears as I stood there with them. The young lady at the counter asked him what they wanted. He said, “Coffee is all, Miss.” because that was all they could afford (If they wanted to sit in the restaurant and warm up, they had to buy something. He just wanted to be warm.) Then I really felt the desire was so great that I almost reached out and hugged the little man with the blue eyes. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 That was when I noticed all eyes in the restaurant were set on me, judging my every action. ___ ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I turned in “my project” and the instructor read it. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ [参考范文] That was when I noticed all eyes in the restaurant were set on me, judging my every action. I smiled and asked the waitress to give me two more breakfasts on a separate tray.I put the tray on the table and the blue-eyed gentleman looked up at me tearfully in his eyes.I started to cry as I walked away.When I sat down my husband smiled at me.We held hands firmly. I returned to college, on the last evening of class, with this story in hand. I turned in “my project” and the instructor read it. Then she said, “Can I share this?” I nodded as she got the attention of the class. She began to read and that was when I knew that we, as humans, share this need to help people and to be helped. In my own way I had touched the people at McDonald’s, my husband, my son, the instructor, and every soul that shared the classroom on the last night I spent as a college student. I graduated with one of the biggest lessons I would ever learn. 1 / 6 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 新高二英语暑期课程 练习08 第一部分 阅读(共两节，满分50分) 第一节 (共15小题，每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) A There is no doubt now that Yellowstone National Park is indeed extraordinarily beautiful.

Americans always call people they meet friends, so the definition of friends is general and different. There are work friends, playing friends, school friends and drinking friends. As is well known, the Chinese like to save. 19 It is different in the USA, where far fewer families are saving money for emergencies and education than their Chinese counterparts. 20 If you achieve something in the US, it's because you were great. While in China, if you achieve something it's because the team, or family, or company is great. Everything you do gets attributed to the greater whole, while in America individual merits are celebrated. A. Just hanging out together from time to time is not friendship. B. Chinese people put more emphasis on good character and faith. C. Chinese people value education and career more than Americans. D. They are always conservative when they are planning to spend money. E. Basically China values the community and the US values the individual. F. Chinese people do not have the same concept of privacy as Americans do. G. Unlike the Chinese, older Americans seldom live with their children. 第二部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节 (共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) Every year about 40,000 people attempt to climb Kilimanjaro, the highest mountain in Africa.

The last class I had to take was Sociology(社会学). The teacher was absolutely inspiring with the qualities that I wish every human had been graced with. Her last project of the term was called “Smile”. The class was asked to go out and smile at three people and record their reactions. I am a very friendly person and always smile at everyone and say hello anyway, so, I thought this would be a piece of cake. Soon after we were given the project, my husband, my youngest son, and I went out to McDonald’s one cold March morning. It was just our way of sharing special playtime with our son.We were standing in line, waiting to be served, when all of a sudden everyone around us began to back away, and then even my husband did. I did not move a bit.A strong feeling of fear welled up inside of me as I turned to see why they had moved. As I turned around I smelled a terrible “dirty body” smell, and there standing behind me were two poor homeless men. As I looked down at the short gentleman, close to me, he was “smiling”. His beautiful sky blue eyes were full of hope as he searched for acceptance. He said, “Good day.” as he counted the few coins he had been holding. The second man was obviously mentally disabled. I held my tears as I stood there with them. The young lady at the counter asked him what they wanted. He said, “Coffee is all, Miss.” because that was all they could afford (If they wanted to sit in the restaurant and warm up, they had to buy something. He just wanted to be warm.) Then I really felt the desire was so great that I almost reached out and hugged the little man with the blue eyes. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 That was when I noticed all eyes in the restaurant were set on me, judging my every action. ___ ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I turned in “my project” and the instructor read it. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1 / 6 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
