Now I'd like to tell you about the dry Tortugas national park. The park is situated in the gulf of Mexico. Juan Pon Stallone discovered the dry Torigas in the summer of 1513 and named the place Las Toreas for large numbers of sea turtles he'd caught while visiting later. The area was called the dry Tortugas for lack of fresh water available on the island. In 1992 the dry Tortigas was established as a national park. More than 80,000 people a year come to see and explore this place and all of its eco wonders. Visitors spend the day just enjoying the scenic beauty and the white Sandy beaches. For those who love to go camping overnight, weekend and longer term arrangements are available, the dry Tortugas national park is also known for its extraordinary bird watching opportunities. Whether you loved fish hike or just soak in the sun, the dry tortugas national park isn't out of the ordinary adventure for people of all ages. If you want to visit the park, please call us at 3052427700. We can arrange a trip there for you. 二、阅读理解 （本题7.5分）Redwood National Park and neighboring state parks — Del Norte Coast Redwoods, Jedediah Smith, and Prairie Creek Redwoods — cover an area of 133,000 acres in California. These parks protect 45% of the existing coast redwood trees. The area is most famous for its huge trees and amazing views, but there is much more to explore here. It is a seven-hour drive from San Francisco, and the parks are recognized as a World Heritage Site and an International Biosphere Reserve. Best Time to Visit Seasonal Activities Having a mild temperature without extremes of heat or cold, Redwood National Park can be visited any time. The cool weather of summer’s dry season attracts lots of visitors. Swimming and boating are best in the summer months. But winter’s wet season can be a great time to avoid the large number of visitors. Watch the winter whale migration (迁徙) up close from Klamath River Overlook as the gray whales head south in November and December. Other December events include the lighting of the world’s tallest living Christmas tree, and impressive candlelight walks through the trees. Overnight Stay After a tiring day of hiking, boating, or horseback riding, most visitors choose to spend the night under the treetops — especially since the park doesn’t have any hotels. Besides some simple wild camping areas, there are four main campgrounds developed by the locals. Three are in the forests and one is along the coast, allowing you to pick your place to set up a tent. Key Information Reservations (预订) are required for camping and can be made online. Redwood National Park is free, but the nearby state parks ask for $8 per day. Start at the Kuchel Visitor Center to get maps, information, and any warnings about closures. The park may be your playground, but it’s also home to wild animals: mountain lions, bears, and elk. 21．(2.5分)What can visitors do if they go to Redwood National Park in December? A．Enjoy water sports. B．See whales migrate closely. C．Meet crowds of like-minded visitors. D．Experience the dry season’s cool weather. 22．(2.5分)How can visitors spend the night in Redwood National Park? A．They stay with local families. B．They reserve a room in a hotel online. C．They book a camping place ahead of time. D．They put up tents at the parking lot for free. 23．(2.5分)What is the text probably? A．An introduction to a park. B．A report about animal protection. C．A notice of a camping site. D．An announcement by the government. 【答案】21．B 22．C 23．A 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。主要介绍了红杉国家公园及其相邻州立公园的基本概况、游览的最佳时节与季节性活动、过夜住宿方式以及相关重要提示，为游客提供了全面的出行参考。 21．细节理解题。根据Best Time to Visit Seasonal Activities部分“Watch the winter whale migration (迁徙) up close from Klamath River Overlook as the gray whales head south in November and December.(11月和12月，灰鲸向南迁徙时，可以从克拉马斯河观景台近距离观赏冬季鲸鱼迁徙。)”可知，如果游客12月去红杉国家公园，他们可以近距离看到鲸鱼迁徙。故选B项。 22．细节理解题。根据Key Information部分“Reservations (预订) are required for camping and can be made online.(露营需要预订，可以在网上进行。)”可知，游客在红杉国家公园过夜需要提前预订露营地。故选C项。 23．主旨大意题。根据全文内容，尤其是第一段“Redwood National Park and neighboring state parks — Del Norte Coast Redwoods, Jedediah Smith, and Prairie Creek Redwoods — cover an area of 133,000 acres in California. These parks protect 45% of the existing coast redwood trees. The area is most famous for its huge trees and amazing views, but there is much more to explore here.(红杉国家公园和邻近的州立公园——德尔诺特海岸红杉、杰迪戴亚·史密斯和草原溪红杉——占地13.3万英亩，位于加利福尼亚州。这些公园保护着现存45%的海岸红杉。该地区以其巨大的树木和令人惊叹的景色而闻名，但这里还有更多值得探索的地方。)”可知，本文主要介绍了红杉国家公园及其周边州立公园的特色、游览信息及注意事项，因此本文可能是一篇关于公园的介绍。故选A项。 （本题10分）Andrew McCarthy stars roles in era-defining movies such as Pretty in Pink, St. Elmo’s Fire and Less Than Zero. But he is also an award-winning travel writer whose books include The Longest Way Home (2012) and Walking With Sam (2021). In the new book, he looks back on an epic adventure, where he walked 500 miles across Spain’s Camino de Santiago with his 19-year-old son, Sam. McCarthy had hoped the trip would be a way to re-examine their evolving relationship, as Sam was just stepping into his own manhood. “I wanted to get to know my son. Not just in the parent-child, dominant-submissive or unruly roles, but as adults, as equals, as peers (同龄人),” he said. “The Camino gave me the greatest luxury you have with adult children — which is time.” For McCarthy it was a chance to spend time with Sam, and perhaps avoid repeating the history he had with his own father. “My relationship with my dad ended pretty much when I left home at 17 years old, and I didn’t want that happen with my kids,” MeCarthy said. The book’s structure follows the path of the Camino, with a chapter per day over the course. It creates a pleasant rhythm of the trail. It also establishes a gradual sense of community and friendship among the other walkers they encounter, and paints a clear picture of McCarthy as somebody extremely in touch with his feelings. Sometimes physical togetherness and shared experiences are the most you can ask for in a relationship, and there are lovely examples of both here. In one scene McCarthy realizes Sam is suffering from a sugar crash, and offers him a protein bar he’s been saving for just such a moment. “I reach out and rub his shoulder,” McCarthy writes.“He nods softly, gratefully. We sit together as thousands upon thousands of dandelion puffs (蒲公英) float in the air like dancing diamonds.” Walking with Sam captures this encouraging and hopeful expedition as the pair walk across the country and towards one another. 24．(2.5分)What do we know about Walking With Sam according to paragraph 1? A．A fantasy novel. B．A travel memoir. C．A prize-winning diary entry. D．An era-defining movie. 25．(2.5分)Why did McCarthy start the adventure? A．To honor his father. B．To help his son fly the nest. C．To bond with his son. D．To seek for writing inspiration. 26．(2.5分)McCarthy develops Walking with Sam by ______. A．comparison and contrast B．cause and effect C．facts and opinions D．sequence of events 27．(2.5分)What does the author think of Walking With Sam? A．Plain but functional. B．Inspiring and touching. C．Brief but informative. D．Humorous and straightforward. 【答案】24．B 25．C 26．D 27．B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了一位著名演员兼获奖旅行作家Andrew McCarthy与他的儿子Sam一起徒步旅行的亲身经历，并通过这次旅程探索了父子关系的变化与深化。 【详解】24．推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Andrew McCarthy-stars roles in era-defining movies such as Pretty in Pink, St. Elmo’s Fire and Less Than Zero. But he is also an award-winning travel writer whose books include The Longest Way Home (2012) and Walking With Sam (2021).(安德鲁·麦卡锡在时代定义的电影中扮演过重要角色，如《红粉佳人》、《圣艾尔摩之火》和《零度以下》。但他同时也是一位屡获殊荣的旅行作家，其著作包括《最长的回家路》(2012年出版) 和《与萨姆同行》(2021年出版) )”可知，《与萨姆同行》这本书是由一位获奖旅行作家所写，内容应与旅行相关，可能是一本旅行回忆录。故选B项。 25．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“McCarthy had hoped the trip would be a way to re-examine their evolving relationship, as Sam was just stepping into his own manhood. “I wanted to get to know my son. Not just in the parent-child, dominant-submissive or unruly roles, but as adults, as equals, as peers,” he said.(麦卡锡曾希望这次旅行能成为重新审视他们父子关系演变的一种方式，因为萨姆正步入自己的成年期。“我想了解我的儿子。不仅仅是在父母与子女、支配与顺从或是叛逆的角色中，而是作为成年人，作为平等的人，作为同辈。”他如此说道)”可知，麦卡锡开始这段冒险是为了与他的儿子建立联系，作为成年人、平等的伙伴来了解彼此。故选C项。 26．细节理解题。根据文章第三段“The book’s structure follows the path of the Camino, with a chapter per day over the course.(这本书的结构遵循了Camino路线的进程，沿途每天都设有一章节)”可知，《与萨姆同行》一书按照他们在Camino de Santiago行走的路径来结构化，每一天作为一个章节，这是按照事件发生的顺序来展开叙述的。故选D项。 27．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“In one scene McCarthy realizes Sam is suffering from a sugar crash, and offers him a protein bar he’s been saving for just such a moment. “I reach out and rub his shoulder,” McCarthy writes.“He nods softly, gratefully. We sit together as thousands upon thousands of dandelion puffs float in the air like dancing diamonds.” Walking with Sam captures this encouraging and hopeful expedition as the pair walk across the country and towards one another.(在一个场景中，麦卡锡意识到萨姆正遭受低血糖的困扰，于是递给他一根之前特地保存下来的蛋白棒。“我伸出手，揉了揉他的肩膀，”麦卡锡写道，“他轻轻地点点头，满怀感激。我们一起坐着，成千上万的蒲公英绒球在空中飘舞，如同舞动的钻石。”《与萨姆同行》记录了这一鼓舞人心且充满希望的旅程，这对父子穿越国家，走向彼此)”可知，作者认为这本书是鼓舞人心且感人的。故选B项。 （本题10分）When the Derby Arboretum, one of the first public parks in England, opened in 1840, it was only open to the public on Sundays and Wednesdays. For the rest of the week, its fountains and pathways were reserved for paying customers, whose entry fees effectively supported the park. The system was scrapped in 1882, as the growing concern for public health among Victorian reformers sped up the creation of open public parks in towns and cities across England. Anyone can now walk through the Derby Arboretum. But another form of gatekeeping is taking place in parks today. Councils that have seen their budgets severely reduced due to financial challenges are finding ways to turn parks into cash-generating properties, often by renting stretches of the land to fenced-off commercial events. These deals can be mutually (互相) beneficial, particularly when the park is sizable and locals are consulted. They can also seem like a destructive form of temporary privatization. Earlier this month, Haringey Council in north London rented part of Finsbury Park to Tough Mudder, a popular obstacle (障碍) course and run for adults. Initiatives that encourage outdoor exercise are welcome, but the size and nature of the event drew criticism after hundreds of racers turned the field into a sea of mud and damaged a community orchard (果园). Races and festivals generate income that councils can reinvest in park maintenance, but they can also wall off areas of parkland, making them less accessible for locals. The reliance on commercial income isn’t limited to London. Residents in Swansea and Manchester have complained about frequent fenced-off events. Councils find themselves in a difficult position. Parks are a non-essential service, and so they are at risk of cost-cutting. Income from events has become an increasingly important source of income. For councils that cannot make their parks pay, the risk is a thinning of local facilities and declining public space. Parks are one of the last areas of truly public space. They offer us fresh air and comfort, space to breathe and exercise. Councils should not have to depend on commercial income to safeguard their future. 28．(2.5分)What does the underlined word “scrapped” in paragraph 2 mean? A．Simplified. B．Designed. C．Abandoned. D．Detailed. 29．(2.5分)Why was Tough Mudder criticized? A．It refused to consult the council. B．It designed inadequate obstacle courses. C．It involved quite a few local racers. D．It had an unfavourable environmental impact. 30．(2.5分)What is the concern about the reliance on commercial income for parks? A．Insufficient event facilities. B．Reduced parkland accessibility. C．Decreased park maintenance. D．Lack of interest from residents. 31．(2.5分)What is the author’s opinion on parks? A．They should be truly for everyone. B．They should be funded by councils. C．They should be protected by park-goers. D．They should enhance community engagement. 【答案】28．C 29．D 30．B 31．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讨论了英国公共公园的历史变迁及当前面临的商业化问题。文章通过德比植物园的例子，指出公园从部分收费到全面开放的转变，以及如今因财政压力导致的商业化趋势，并探讨了这种趋势对公众使用公园的影响。 【详解】28．词义猜测题。根据划线句后文“Anyone can now walk through the Derby Arboretum.( 现在任何人都可以进入德比植物园)”可知，划线句“The system was scrapped in 1882”表示该系统在1882年被废除，“scrapped”指原有的收费制度被“废除”。故选C。 29．细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Earlier this month, Haringey Council in north London rented part of Finsbury Park to Tough Mudder, a popular obstacle (障碍) course and run for adults. Initiatives that encourage outdoor exercise are welcome, but the size and nature of the event drew criticism after hundreds of racers turned the field into a sea of mud and damaged a community orchard (果园).(本月早些时候，伦敦北部的哈林区议会将芬斯伯里公园的一部分场地租给了“Tough Mudder”赛事组织方。该赛事是一项颇受欢迎的成人障碍赛跑活动。鼓励户外运动的举措是值得欢迎的，但该活动的规模和性质却引发了批评。因为数百名参赛者将场地变成了泥泞的海洋，并损坏了一处社区果园。)”可知，活动的规模和性质引发批评，因参赛者将场地变成泥海并破坏了社区果园，因此批评的原因是活动对环境造成了负面影响。 故选D。 30．细节理解题。根据文章第四段的“Races and festivals generate income that councils can reinvest in park maintenance, but they can also wall off areas of parkland, making them less accessible for locals.(各种赛事和节日能带来收入，这些收入可以被市政部门用于公园的维护工作，但同时这些活动也可能将公园的部分区域封闭起来，从而减少了市民对这些区域的访问便利性。)”可知，收入可以用于公园的维护，但是围起部分公园区域使当地人更难进入，因此可知依赖商业收入的担忧是公园可进入性降低。故选B。 31．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Parks are one of the last areas of truly public space. They offer us fresh air and comfort, space to breathe and exercise. Councils should not have to depend on commercial income to safeguard their future.(公园是为数不多的真正属于公众的公共空间之一。它们为我们提供了清新的空气和舒适的环境，为我们提供了放松和锻炼的空间。政府不应依赖商业收入来保障公园的未来发展。)”可知，作者认为公园是最后的真正公共空间之一，议会不应依赖商业收入来保障其未来，因此推断作者认为公园应真正为所有人服务。故选A。 （本题10分）When a new product totally fails, companies typically try to move on as quickly as possible and put all of their energies into developing fresh ideas that they hope will catch on. But the Museum of Failure never forgets. This traveling exhibition (展览), which was first launched in Sweden in 2017, arrived in New York City in 2023. It is designed by Samuel West, a psychologist who specializes in organizational science. He hopes it will help normalize the concept of failure, which he sees as a good learning opportunity. “My research is focused on helping organizations to be more innovative,” says West. “And one of the big difficulties in innovation is the fear of failure.” Indeed, many companies are unwilling to show their failures to the world. When West first began putting together the exhibition, he had to find the failed products on eBay and Craigslist because “nobody wanted to have anything to do with this.” However, in this traveling exhibition, when people see big well-known brands (品牌) and companies that have extreme amounts of money and experience still fail when trying new things, they may say, “As ‘big boys’ can fail, why can’t we?” People then try something new, accept the level of risk that comes with it and learn from it if the new thing fails. West hopes to stress that failure usually isn’t as bad or scary as many imagine. “You fail, but you can reflect, build on your new thoughts, try a different method and come back again with something better. Simply trying again and again without adapting is not enough,” he adds. In fact, many well-known brands featured in the Museum of Failure haven’t let one or two failures stand in their way. Oreo has made plenty of delicious new flavors; though Crystal Pepsi failed, PepsiCo is still popular among customers. Other notable examples of serious failures include Bic for Her pens, Colgate’s frozen dinner, and a “hula chair” for exercise. 32．(2.5分)What does Samuel West intend to do by putting on the exhibition? A．To create a fun viewing experience. B．To collect comments on failed products. C．To tell the stories of unsuccessful businessmen. D．To encourage people to accept and learn from failure. 33．(2.5分)How will people most likely feel while visiting the traveling exhibition? A．Scared and puzzled. B．Surprised and curious. C．Relaxed and inspired. D．Discouraged and worried. 34．(2.5分)Why does the author mention some famous brands in the last paragraph? A．To show failure can lead to creativity and success. B．To explain companies are careful with new designs. C．To prove popular inventions are based on real needs. D．To stress famous brands are more likely to take risks. 35．(2.5分)What can be the best title for the text? A．A special exhibition that celebrates failures B．The public attitude to the Museum of Failure C．A unique way for companies to get over failures D．The business advice from some well-known brands 【答案】32．D 33．C 34．A 35．A 【导语】本文是说明文。主要介绍了“失败博物馆”以及创办人Samuel West希望通过展览来让人们正视失败并从中学习的理念。 32．细节理解题。根据文章第三段“He hopes it will help normalize the concept of failure, which he sees as a good learning opportunity.(他希望这将有助于使失败的概念正常化，他认为这是一个很好的学习机会)”可知，Samuel West举办这个展览是为了鼓励人们接受并从失败中学习。故选D项。 33．推理判断题。根据文章第五段“However, in this traveling exhibition, when people see big well-known brands (品牌) and companies that have extreme amounts of money and experience still fail when trying new things, they may say, “As ‘big boys’ can fail, why can’t we?” People then try something new, accept the level of risk that comes with it and learn from it if the new thing fails.(然而，在这次巡回展览中，当人们看到那些拥有大量资金和经验的知名大品牌和公司在尝试新事物时仍然失败时，他们可能会说：“既然‘大男孩’可以失败，为什么我们不能呢?”然后，人们尝试新事物，接受随之而来的风险，并在新事物失败时从中吸取教训)”可知，参观这个展览的人们会感到放松和受到启发。故选C项。 34．推理判断题。根据最后一段“In fact, many well-known brands featured in the Museum of Failure haven’t let one or two failures stand in their way. Oreo has made plenty of delicious new flavors; though Crystal Pepsi failed, PepsiCo is still popular among customers. Other notable examples of serious failures include Bic for Her pens, Colgate’s frozen dinner, and a “hula chair” for exercise.(事实上，许多入选失败博物馆的知名品牌并没有让一两次失败阻碍他们前进的道路。奥利奥推出了许多美味的新口味；虽然水晶百事失败了，但百事公司仍然受到顾客的欢迎。其他值得注意的严重失败的例子包括Bic for Her钢笔，高露洁的冷冻晚餐，以及用于锻炼的“呼啦椅”)”可知，作者提到一些著名品牌是为了表明失败可以导致创造力和成功。故选A项。 35．主旨大意题。根据第二段“But the Museum of Failure never forgets. This traveling exhibition (展览), which was first launched in Sweden in 2017, arrived in New York City in 2023. It is designed by Samuel West, a psychologist who specializes in organizational science.(但失败博物馆永远不会忘记。这个巡回展览于2017年首次在瑞典推出，于2023年抵达纽约。它是由专门研究组织科学的心理学家Samuel West设计的)”以及通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了“失败博物馆”以及创办人Samuel West希望通过展览来让人们正视失败并从中学习的理念，所以A项“A special exhibition that celebrates failures(庆祝失败的特别展览)”是本文最好的标题。故选A项。 （本题12.5分）City parks and open space improve our physical and mental health, strengthen our communities, and make our cities and neighbourhoods more attractive places to live and work. 36(2.5分) 37(2.5分) In Boulder, Colorado, a greenbelt added $5.4 million to the total property values of one neighbourhood. Other things being equal, there was a $4.20 decrease in the price of property for every foot one moved away from the greenbelt, and the average value of homes next to the greenbelt was 32% percent higher than those 3,200 feet away. Parks attract tourists. 38(2.5分) As community landmarks, parks offer a marketing tool for cities to attract businesses and conferences. Parks can be used to hold festivals, concerts and athletics events, bringing additional boosts to the local economy. Green space provides rich ecosystem services. 39(2.5分) The U.S. Forest Service found that over a 50-year lifetime, one tree produces $31,250 worth of oxygen, provides $62,000 worth of air pollution control, recycles $37,500 worth of water, and controls $31,250 worth of soil erosion (流失). A park’s trees store water, reducing the rate at which it flows into a city’s stormwater treatment facilities. Parks increase the amount of a city’s pervious surfaces, which allow rainwater to pass slowly into the ground. 40(2.5分) A．Your local city park may improve your health. B．Homebuyers prefer homes close to parks and open space. C．It makes a great contribution to the improvement of our living environment.

Other things being equal, there was a $4.20 decrease in the price of property for every foot one moved away from the greenbelt, and the average value of homes next to the greenbelt was 32% percent higher than those 3,200 feet away.(在科罗拉多州博尔德市，一个绿化带为一个社区的总房地产价值增加了540万美元。在其他条件相同的情况下，每离开绿化带一英尺，房价就会下降4.20美元，绿化带旁房屋的平均价值比3200英尺外的房屋高32%)”可知，下文讲述了距离绿化带越近房产价值越高，反之则越低，由此可知，空处应陈述的是与之相对应的现象，B项“购房者更喜欢靠近公园和空地的房子”符合题意。故选B。 38．前文“Parks attract tourists.(公园吸引游客)”讲述了公园吸引游客，空后应进一步讲述游客带来的好处，D项“他们帮助填满酒店房间，并将顾客带到当地的商店和餐馆”符合题意，They指代前文的tourists。故选D。 39．前文“Green space provides rich ecosystem services.(绿地提供丰富的生态系统服务)”讲述了绿地对生态系统有益，后文“The U.S. Forest Service found that over a 50-year lifetime, one tree produces $31,250 worth of oxygen, provides $62,000worth of air pollution control, recycles $37,500 worth of water, and controls $31,250worth of soil erosion(流失).(美国林业局发现，在50年的寿命中，一棵树产生价值31250美元的氧气，提供价值62000美元的空气污染控制，回收价值37500美元的水，并控制价值312500美元的土壤侵蚀)”具体讲述了公园对环境的改善，C项“它对改善我们的生活环境做出了巨大贡献”符合题意。故选C。 40．根据前文“A park’s trees store water, reducing the rate at which it flows into a city’s stormwater treatment facilities. Parks increase the amount of a city’s pervious surfaces, which allow rainwater to pass slowly into the ground.(公园的树木可以储存水，从而降低流入城市雨水处理设施的速度。公园增加了城市透水表面的数量，使雨水能够缓慢地进入地面)”可知，前面讲述了公园树木储水的作用，G项“拥有树木和公园可以减少城市雨水管理系统的必要规模”承接上文，符合题意。故选G。 三、完形填空 （本题15分）One afternoon, Sarah was walking through the park when she noticed a wallet lying on the ground near a bench.

Most folks find there’s nothing there, just an empty lot. But to me, it’s like a wide-open treasure box. Stepping into it, I feel like leaping into a sea of green. The tall grass, probably just weeds, with butterflies gathering around, smells clean and fresh, and I wonder why I’m the only one who’s thankful for this place. One evening, Mama said, “Tia, the city wants to turn that comer of yours into a parking lot.” I stopped in my tracks. “No! They can’t do that!” “Tia, you have to make them see what you see. Make some noise about it. No one ever got any place by sitting back and staying quiet.” That night, I lay awake thinking for a long time. “I’ve got to do something.” Early the next morning I dragged a chair down to the corner with a big cardboard on which I’d painted “No Parking Lot! Save Our Nature” in large letters. I sat down and waited. Most people passed by, paying no attention to me. My friend Tanya asked me what I was doing, and I told her. Then came Mrs. DiRisio, a beauty shop owner, who angrily waved her hand at my sign, saying. “My customers need a place to park. You go home, little girl.” But I didn’t move. Then I noticed a woman down the street taking pictures of my corner. She walked over to me, smiling, “I’m Sara Bennett. Can I talk to you?” I nodded. I knew I needed to make some noise. I started talking, and Ms. Bennett scribbled on a notepad. “A walking path would be nice, maybe a vegetable garden. And a bench, so people could sit down and listen to the birds singing.” I was surprised at myself, at how many ideas I’d got for this corner. The next morning, my brother burst into my room with a morning paper. “Fighting for Nature on the Corner of 71st” was the title of the article, and along with it was a picture of me! After breakfast my brother, Mama and I dragged our chairs and signs back to the corner. 注意: 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: To my amazement, I saw some familiar figures coming towards us. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: A year later, the sign on the corner made it official. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Possible version: To my amazement, I saw some familiar figures coming towards us. My friend Tanya and her family, each carrying a chair, joined us! “Tia, You’ve got some good ideas for this corner. We need a little nature around here.” More and more neighbors showed up, waving signs and making noise, including Mrs. DiRisio. Mom inspired me to make a speech to the city call. I did so days later. “If this is the last little bit of nature in our neighborhood,” I spoke, ”doesn’t it make sense to try and save it? ” Everyone applauded at the end of my speech. A year later, the sign on the corner has made it official. Now we’ve got a walking path that curves and winds its way through the 71st Street Nature Preserve. We’ve got a stone bench and plans for a vegetable garden. School groups come here to collect leaves and study the insects and birds. Folks come here to walk, run or just sit, talking, laughing and listening to birds singing. My corner isn’t just mine anymore, but I’m more than happy to share it. 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了71号街道的拐角可以让蒂亚感受到自然的美，但是有人想要将这个街角改造成停车场。在妈妈的建议下，蒂亚采取行动，在大纸板写明自己的观点，放在街角处。内内特女士给蒂亚拍了照片，并对这个街角的设计进行了设想。第二天早上，蒂亚的照片出现在报纸上，早餐后，蒂亚和家人将椅子和大纸板拖回街角。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“令我惊讶的是，我看到一些熟悉的身影向我们走来。”可知，第一段可描写越来越多的邻居出现，发声自己需要自然，蒂亚发表演讲，尝试拯救自然，得到了大家的掌声。 ②由第二段首句内容“一年后，街角的标志正式生效。”可知，第二段可描写街角的具体样子，人们可以在这里享受自然。 2.续写线索：邻居加入——蒂亚发表演讲——得到掌声——街角标志生效——街角的样子——人们在街角享受自然 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①出现：show up/appear ②激励：inspire/encourage/motivate ③鼓掌：applaud/clap one’s hands 情绪类 ①笑：laugh/beam/grin ②开心的：happy/pleased/glad 【点睛】【高分句型1】“If this is the last little bit of nature in our neighborhood,” I spoke, ”doesn’t it make sense to try and save it? ”（运用了if引导条件状语从句） 【高分句型2】Now we’ve got a walking path that curves and winds its way through the 71st Street Nature Preserve.（运用了that引导限制性定语从句） 试卷第1页，共3页 试卷第1页，共3页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 2 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高中英语单元测试——Unit 3 Fascinating Parks（较易版01）（原卷版） 学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________ 一、听力选择题 1．（本题1.5分）How long is the park open on Saturdays?

These parks protect 45% of the existing coast redwood trees. The area is most famous for its huge trees and amazing views, but there is much more to explore here. It is a seven-hour drive from San Francisco, and the parks are recognized as a World Heritage Site and an International Biosphere Reserve. Best Time to Visit Seasonal Activities Having a mild temperature without extremes of heat or cold, Redwood National Park can be visited any time. The cool weather of summer’s dry season attracts lots of visitors. Swimming and boating are best in the summer months. But winter’s wet season can be a great time to avoid the large number of visitors. Watch the winter whale migration (迁徙) up close from Klamath River Overlook as the gray whales head south in November and December. Other December events include the lighting of the world’s tallest living Christmas tree, and impressive candlelight walks through the trees. Overnight Stay After a tiring day of hiking, boating, or horseback riding, most visitors choose to spend the night under the treetops — especially since the park doesn’t have any hotels. Besides some simple wild camping areas, there are four main campgrounds developed by the locals. Three are in the forests and one is along the coast, allowing you to pick your place to set up a tent. Key Information Reservations (预订) are required for camping and can be made online. Redwood National Park is free, but the nearby state parks ask for $8 per day. Start at the Kuchel Visitor Center to get maps, information, and any warnings about closures. The park may be your playground, but it’s also home to wild animals: mountain lions, bears, and elk. 21．(2.5分)What can visitors do if they go to Redwood National Park in December? A．Enjoy water sports. B．See whales migrate closely. C．Meet crowds of like-minded visitors. D．Experience the dry season’s cool weather. 22．(2.5分)How can visitors spend the night in Redwood National Park? A．They stay with local families. B．They reserve a room in a hotel online. C．They book a camping place ahead of time. D．They put up tents at the parking lot for free. 23．(2.5分)What is the text probably? A．An introduction to a park. B．A report about animal protection. C．A notice of a camping site. D．An announcement by the government. （本题10分）Andrew McCarthy stars roles in era-defining movies such as Pretty in Pink, St. Elmo’s Fire and Less Than Zero. But he is also an award-winning travel writer whose books include The Longest Way Home (2012) and Walking With Sam (2021). In the new book, he looks back on an epic adventure, where he walked 500 miles across Spain’s Camino de Santiago with his 19-year-old son, Sam. McCarthy had hoped the trip would be a way to re-examine their evolving relationship, as Sam was just stepping into his own manhood. “I wanted to get to know my son. Not just in the parent-child, dominant-submissive or unruly roles, but as adults, as equals, as peers (同龄人),” he said. “The Camino gave me the greatest luxury you have with adult children — which is time.” For McCarthy it was a chance to spend time with Sam, and perhaps avoid repeating the history he had with his own father. “My relationship with my dad ended pretty much when I left home at 17 years old, and I didn’t want that happen with my kids,” MeCarthy said. The book’s structure follows the path of the Camino, with a chapter per day over the course. It creates a pleasant rhythm of the trail. It also establishes a gradual sense of community and friendship among the other walkers they encounter, and paints a clear picture of McCarthy as somebody extremely in touch with his feelings. Sometimes physical togetherness and shared experiences are the most you can ask for in a relationship, and there are lovely examples of both here. In one scene McCarthy realizes Sam is suffering from a sugar crash, and offers him a protein bar he’s been saving for just such a moment. “I reach out and rub his shoulder,” McCarthy writes.“He nods softly, gratefully. We sit together as thousands upon thousands of dandelion puffs (蒲公英) float in the air like dancing diamonds.” Walking with Sam captures this encouraging and hopeful expedition as the pair walk across the country and towards one another. 24．(2.5分)What do we know about Walking With Sam according to paragraph 1? A．A fantasy novel. B．A travel memoir. C．A prize-winning diary entry. D．An era-defining movie. 25．(2.5分)Why did McCarthy start the adventure? A．To honor his father. B．To help his son fly the nest. C．To bond with his son. D．To seek for writing inspiration. 26．(2.5分)McCarthy develops Walking with Sam by ______. A．comparison and contrast B．cause and effect C．facts and opinions D．sequence of events 27．(2.5分)What does the author think of Walking With Sam? A．Plain but functional. B．Inspiring and touching.

For the rest of the week, its fountains and pathways were reserved for paying customers, whose entry fees effectively supported the park. The system was scrapped in 1882, as the growing concern for public health among Victorian reformers sped up the creation of open public parks in towns and cities across England. Anyone can now walk through the Derby Arboretum. But another form of gatekeeping is taking place in parks today. Councils that have seen their budgets severely reduced due to financial challenges are finding ways to turn parks into cash-generating properties, often by renting stretches of the land to fenced-off commercial events. These deals can be mutually (互相) beneficial, particularly when the park is sizable and locals are consulted. They can also seem like a destructive form of temporary privatization. Earlier this month, Haringey Council in north London rented part of Finsbury Park to Tough Mudder, a popular obstacle (障碍) course and run for adults. Initiatives that encourage outdoor exercise are welcome, but the size and nature of the event drew criticism after hundreds of racers turned the field into a sea of mud and damaged a community orchard (果园). Races and festivals generate income that councils can reinvest in park maintenance, but they can also wall off areas of parkland, making them less accessible for locals. The reliance on commercial income isn’t limited to London. Residents in Swansea and Manchester have complained about frequent fenced-off events. Councils find themselves in a difficult position. Parks are a non-essential service, and so they are at risk of cost-cutting. Income from events has become an increasingly important source of income. For councils that cannot make their parks pay, the risk is a thinning of local facilities and declining public space. Parks are one of the last areas of truly public space. They offer us fresh air and comfort, space to breathe and exercise. Councils should not have to depend on commercial income to safeguard their future. 28．(2.5分)What does the underlined word “scrapped” in paragraph 2 mean? A．Simplified. B．Designed. C．Abandoned. D．Detailed. 29．(2.5分)Why was Tough Mudder criticized? A．It refused to consult the council. B．It designed inadequate obstacle courses. C．It involved quite a few local racers. D．It had an unfavourable environmental impact. 30．(2.5分)What is the concern about the reliance on commercial income for parks? A．Insufficient event facilities. B．Reduced parkland accessibility. C．Decreased park maintenance. D．Lack of interest from residents. 31．(2.5分)What is the author’s opinion on parks? A．They should be truly for everyone. B．They should be funded by councils. C．They should be protected by park-goers. D．They should enhance community engagement. （本题10分）When a new product totally fails, companies typically try to move on as quickly as possible and put all of their energies into developing fresh ideas that they hope will catch on. But the Museum of Failure never forgets. This traveling exhibition (展览), which was first launched in Sweden in 2017, arrived in New York City in 2023. It is designed by Samuel West, a psychologist who specializes in organizational science. He hopes it will help normalize the concept of failure, which he sees as a good learning opportunity. “My research is focused on helping organizations to be more innovative,” says West. “And one of the big difficulties in innovation is the fear of failure.” Indeed, many companies are unwilling to show their failures to the world. When West first began putting together the exhibition, he had to find the failed products on eBay and Craigslist because “nobody wanted to have anything to do with this.” However, in this traveling exhibition, when people see big well-known brands (品牌) and companies that have extreme amounts of money and experience still fail when trying new things, they may say, “As ‘big boys’ can fail, why can’t we?” People then try something new, accept the level of risk that comes with it and learn from it if the new thing fails. West hopes to stress that failure usually isn’t as bad or scary as many imagine. “You fail, but you can reflect, build on your new thoughts, try a different method and come back again with something better. Simply trying again and again without adapting is not enough,” he adds. In fact, many well-known brands featured in the Museum of Failure haven’t let one or two failures stand in their way. Oreo has made plenty of delicious new flavors; though Crystal Pepsi failed, PepsiCo is still popular among customers. Other notable examples of serious failures include Bic for Her pens, Colgate’s frozen dinner, and a “hula chair” for exercise. 32．(2.5分)What does Samuel West intend to do by putting on the exhibition? A．To create a fun viewing experience. B．To collect comments on failed products. C．To tell the stories of unsuccessful businessmen. D．To encourage people to accept and learn from failure. 33．(2.5分)How will people most likely feel while visiting the traveling exhibition? A．Scared and puzzled. B．Surprised and curious. C．Relaxed and inspired. D．Discouraged and worried. 34．(2.5分)Why does the author mention some famous brands in the last paragraph? A．To show failure can lead to creativity and success. B．To explain companies are careful with new designs. C．To prove popular inventions are based on real needs. D．To stress famous brands are more likely to take risks. 35．(2.5分)What can be the best title for the text? A．A special exhibition that celebrates failures B．The public attitude to the Museum of Failure C．A unique way for companies to get over failures D．The business advice from some well-known brands （本题12.5分）City parks and open space improve our physical and mental health, strengthen our communities, and make our cities and neighbourhoods more attractive places to live and work. 36(2.5分) 37(2.5分) In Boulder, Colorado, a greenbelt added $5.4 million to the total property values of one neighbourhood. Other things being equal, there was a $4.20 decrease in the price of property for every foot one moved away from the greenbelt, and the average value of homes next to the greenbelt was 32% percent higher than those 3,200 feet away. Parks attract tourists. 38(2.5分) As community landmarks, parks offer a marketing tool for cities to attract businesses and conferences. Parks can be used to hold festivals, concerts and athletics events, bringing additional boosts to the local economy. Green space provides rich ecosystem services. 39(2.5分) The U.S. Forest Service found that over a 50-year lifetime, one tree produces $31,250 worth of oxygen, provides $62,000 worth of air pollution control, recycles $37,500 worth of water, and controls $31,250 worth of soil erosion (流失). A park’s trees store water, reducing the rate at which it flows into a city’s stormwater treatment facilities. Parks increase the amount of a city’s pervious surfaces, which allow rainwater to pass slowly into the ground. 40(2.5分) A．Your local city park may improve your health. B．Homebuyers prefer homes close to parks and open space. C．It makes a great contribution to the improvement of our living environment. D．They help fill hotel rooms and bring customers to local stores and restaurants. E．Building facilities to deal with that amount of stormwater would cost $38 million. F．Lots of studies have shown all kinds of benefits parks bring to a city and its people. G．Having trees and parks can decrease the necessary size of the city’s stormwater management system. 三、完形填空 （本题15分）One afternoon, Sarah was walking through the park when she noticed a wallet lying on the ground near a bench.

It’s my corner. Most folks find there’s nothing there, just an empty lot. But to me, it’s like a wide-open treasure box. Stepping into it, I feel like leaping into a sea of green. The tall grass, probably just weeds, with butterflies gathering around, smells clean and fresh, and I wonder why I’m the only one who’s thankful for this place. One evening, Mama said, “Tia, the city wants to turn that comer of yours into a parking lot.” I stopped in my tracks. “No! They can’t do that!” “Tia, you have to make them see what you see. Make some noise about it. No one ever got any place by sitting back and staying quiet.” That night, I lay awake thinking for a long time. “I’ve got to do something.” Early the next morning I dragged a chair down to the corner with a big cardboard on which I’d painted “No Parking Lot! Save Our Nature” in large letters. I sat down and waited. Most people passed by, paying no attention to me. My friend Tanya asked me what I was doing, and I told her. Then came Mrs. DiRisio, a beauty shop owner, who angrily waved her hand at my sign, saying. “My customers need a place to park. You go home, little girl.” But I didn’t move. Then I noticed a woman down the street taking pictures of my corner. She walked over to me, smiling, “I’m Sara Bennett. Can I talk to you?” I nodded. I knew I needed to make some noise. I started talking, and Ms. Bennett scribbled on a notepad. “A walking path would be nice, maybe a vegetable garden. And a bench, so people could sit down and listen to the birds singing.” I was surprised at myself, at how many ideas I’d got for this corner. The next morning, my brother burst into my room with a morning paper. “Fighting for Nature on the Corner of 71st” was the title of the article, and along with it was a picture of me! After breakfast my brother, Mama and I dragged our chairs and signs back to the corner. 注意: 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: To my amazement, I saw some familiar figures coming towards us. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: A year later, the sign on the corner made it official. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 试卷第1页，共3页 试卷第1页，共3页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 2 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
