The Most Beautiful Beaches in Tulum
With a colorful arts scene and many wonderful restaurants, Tulum is one of the best travel destinations in Mexico, especially this town’s Caribbean coastline. Here’s our summary of the most beautiful beaches in Tulum.
Playa Ruinas
Playa Ruinas is home to well-preserved Mayan ruins overlooking the Caribbean Sea. The beach has whites and, blue waters and a site of historical importance. The top of Castillo was built as a watchtower in the 13th century and is now the third most visited archaeological site in Mexico after Teotihuacán and Chichén Itzá.
Playa Paraíso
Playa Paraíso is another beautiful spot in Tulum. The sand, surrounded by palm trees, is a popular place for volleyball lovers—and it’s large enough to ensure that it’s never overcrowding. There are also plenty of restaurants where you can enjoy lots of food, plus boats offering diving journeys in the warm sea.
Las Palmas
Las Palmas owns peaceful sand and gentle blue waves, more peaceful than Playa Paraíso. You won’t find dealers or restaurants in the area. Although this may be less convenient, it also means Las Palmas is the perfect place if you’re looking to get away from the crowded beaches.
Akumal Beach
Driving a car for less than 30 minutes from central Tulum, Akumal Beach is great for family outings and diving. Clearly busier than the peaceful beaches around Tulum, Akumal is near many bars and restaurants. Beach umbrellas are available to rent, and delicious food and ice-cold beers are on offer all day long.
1. Which beach has both beautiful scenery and an ancient building
A. Playa Paraiso. B. Playa Ruinas. C. Las Palmas. D. Akumal Beach.
2. What can visitors do on Playa Paraíso
A. Play volleyball. B. Watch gentle blue waves.
C. Visit an archaeological site. D. Buy an umbrella.
3. What do Playa Paraíso and Akumal Beach have in common
A. They own peaceful sand. B. Visitors can dive there.
C. They have food and ice-cold beers. D. They’re not far from central Tulum.

If you are able to step outside and hear many types of birds, you might have a great feeling. Two studies show that hearing different birdsongs may help increase our happiness.
A study was done by researchers at California Polytechnic State University of the US. They studied the influence of birdsong on people walking through a park. A researcher called Ferraro says that there could be an biological (生物的) reason why we like birdsong. She says that in some areas around the world birdsong can also mean the arrival of spring and nice weather, and different kinds of birds can also mean a healthy environment.
Ferraro and her team played recorded birdsong from a group of different kinds of birds that are native to the area. They did this on hiking track in a park. Over several weeks, the researchers played recorded birdsong at certain times of the day and other times they did not. Then they talked with hikers who passed by. The hikers who heard the recorded different birdsong reported a greater sense of joy than those who heard simply the park’s birds. The researchers suggest that both the bird sounds and different kinds of animals and plants can increase people’s feelings of happiness.
Ferraro explained that she used native birdsong for the study. This way it would sound as natural as possible. They also did the study during the summer. She explains why this is important. “Because the spring is most birds’ breeding (繁殖) season. And if we would have played the birdsong during breeding season, as you know, it might have disturbed them. We didn’t want to disturb the birds too much.”
8. What can we learn from paragraph 2
A. Birdsong attracts people to walk in the park.
B. Birdsong means the arrival of spring everywhere.
C. Different birds in some areas mean a good environment.
D. People like birdsong mainly because of biological reasons.
9. Which statement of the following may the researchers support
A. Hikers like natural birdsong in the hike track better.
B. Recorded birdsong can also makes hikers feel happy.
C. There was not natural birdsong in the park.
D. Recorded birdsong must be played all the day in the park
10. Why did Ferraro and her team do the study in summer
A. Because birds could be caught easily in summer.
B. Because birds usually breed in summer.
C. Because birdsong sounds more beautiful.
D. Because they wanted to avoid disturbing birds’ breeding.
11. Where can the text be found
A. In a history book. B. In a novel.
C. In a science magazine. D. In a travel guidebook.
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. D 11. C
【解析】
【分析】本文为一篇说明文。文章介绍了不同的鸟声可以让人身心愉悦。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句话“She says that in some areas around the world birdsong can also mean the arrival of spring and nice weather, and different kinds of birds can also mean a healthy environment.”（她说，在世界上的一些地区，鸟鸣也意味着春天和好天气的到来，不同种类的鸟也意味着健康的环境。）可知，在一些地区不同的鸟意味着健康的环境。故选C。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“The hikers who heard the recorded different birdsong reported a greater sense of joy than those who heard simply the park’s birds.”（那些听到不同的录制的鸟鸣的徒步旅行者比那些只听到公园里鸟鸣的人更快乐）可知，录制的鸟声也能够使徒步旅行者感到快乐。故选B。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“ ‘Because the spring is most birds’ breeding (繁殖) season. And if we would have played the birdsong during breeding season, as you know, it might have disturbed them. We didn’t want to disturb the birds too much.’”（“因为春天是大多数鸟类的繁殖的季节。如果我们在繁殖季节播放鸟鸣，你知道，可能会干扰它们。我们不想太打扰鸟儿。”）可知，在春天研究会干扰到鸟。故选D。
11题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Two studies show that hearing different birdsongs may help increase our happiness.”（两项研究表明，听到不同的鸟叫声可能有助于增加我们的幸福感。）以及全文内容可知，本文介绍的是鸟儿的歌声可以让人身心愉悦，这是科学研究；因此我们可以在科学杂志找到本文。故选C

Catch your reusable bag and kiss your plastic bags goodbye. Plastic waste is on its way out, thanks to these governmental bans from around the world.
From Indiana to Maine, governments at all levels in the US are forcing bans and improving recycling. People are shopping smarter and companies are doing better to ensure the protection of our environment. Slowly but surely, the world is entering a brighter future as more and more countries follow. But there’s still a lot of work to be done—or undone.
Since the 1950s, researchers say that about more than 8.3 billion tons of plastic has been produced. And 60% of that waste has ended up in the environment. That number has increased quickly over the years. For example, it was recorded that the world’s plastic production doubled from 1976 (50 million tons) to 1989 (100 million tons). It was highest at 368 million in 2019 before decreasing to 367 million in 2020.
A million tons decrease of plastic production is not enough to deal with the rising pressures plastic puts into the environment. We still do not know how long it takes for plastic to breakdown. It means that about 12 million tons of plastic waste that entered the ocean in 2010 is still breaking into micro plastics and filling up the stomachs of birds and sea animals. The plastic going into our environment is not going away. While recent studies of plastic-eating enzymes and bacteria offer some hope for the future of plastic waste management, the best way to deal with our environmental stress is through decrease.
In 2020 New York City began to ban plastic bags. But this wasn’t the first plastic bag ban in a US state. In fact, the US wasn’t even the first country to introduce this idea. Back in 2002, Bangladesh became the first country to implement a plastic bag ban. Since then, other countries have followed, introducing their own ways to fight with the continuing plastic bags.
12. What do we know about plastic waste
A. We have completely cleaned it up B. It is hardly increasing all over the world.
C. We have done nothing to deal with it. D. There is a long way to solve the problem of it.
13 How much plastic waste has been put into the environment since the 1950s
A. More than 8.3 billion tons. B. About 5 billion tons.
C. About 100 million tons. D. Less than 368 million tons.
14. What can be inferred about dealing with plastic
A. It doesn’t take long to breakdown it B. Sea animals can be eating most of it.
C. Some enzymes and bacteria help a lot. D. Cutting plastic waste down is still the best way.
15. What does the underlined word “implement” in the last paragraph mean
A. Carry out. B. Keep up. C. Look at. D. Take away.
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. D 15. A
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了由于世界各地的这些政府禁令，塑料垃圾正在消失，但仍有许多工作要做——或未做。文章介绍了世界塑料垃圾的数量和处理塑料垃圾面临的问题等。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Slowly but surely, the world is entering a brighter future as more and more countries follow. But there’s still a lot of work to be done—or undone.(随着越来越多的国家效仿，世界正缓慢而坚定地进入一个更加光明的未来。 但仍有许多工作要做——或未做)”可知，解决塑料垃圾问题有很长的路要走。故选D。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Since the 1950s, researchers say that about more than 8.3 billion tons of plastic has been produced. And 60% of that waste has ended up in the environment.(研究人员表示，自20世纪50年代以来，全球共生产了83亿吨塑料。其中60%的垃圾最终进入了环境)”可知，自20世纪50年代以来，约83亿×60%≈50亿吨塑料垃圾被排放到环境中。故选B。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“While recent studies of plastic-eating enzymes and bacteria offer some hope for the future of plastic waste management, the best way to deal with our environmental stress is through decrease.(虽然最近对吃塑料的酶和细菌的研究为塑料垃圾管理的未来提供了一些希望，但应对环境压力的最好方法是减少)”可推知，减少塑料垃圾仍然是处理塑料最好的方法。故选D。
【15题详解】
词句猜测题。根据最后一段中“In 2020, New York City began to ban plastic bags. But this wasn’t the first plastic bag ban in a US state. In fact, the US wasn’t even the first country to introduce this idea.”以及画线词上文“Back in 2002, Bangladesh became the first country to”和后文“a plastic bag ban”可知，2020年，纽约市开始禁止塑料袋。 但这并不是美国第一个禁止使用塑料袋的州。 事实上，美国甚至不是第一个引入这种想法的国家，因为早在2002年，孟加拉国就成为第一个实施塑料袋禁令的国家。故画线词意思是“实施”。A. Carry out.实施；B. Keep up.保持；C. Look at.看着；D. Take away.带走。故选A。

【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。短文介绍了世界的淡水可能正在枯竭，因此我们要采取措施保护地球的水资源，只要我们每个人都有节约用水的意识，我们就能看到巨大的变化。
【36题详解】
考查过去分词。句意：地球上的水以一个叫做水循环的循环不停地运动。cycle与call 在逻辑上是被动关系，所以用过去分词作后置定语。故填called。
【37题详解】
考查连词。句意：生活在城市的人们使用最多的水，但/然而一些人只有少量的水来满足他们的日常需要。根据句意可知，前后表示转折关系或者对比关系，故填while/but。
【38题详解】
考查形容词。句意：生活在城市的人们使用最多的水，但/然而一些人只有少量的水来满足他们的日常需要。形容词daily修饰名词needs。故填daily。
【39题详解】
考查冠词。句意：问题是，我们世界上的淡水可能会耗尽。本句特指世界上的淡水，用定冠词the。故填the。
【40题详解】
考查非限制性定语从句。句意：世界人口正在增长，这意味着越来越多的水正在被使用。which指代前面的整个句子作定语从句的主语，故填which。
【41题详解】
考查形容词。句意：气候正在变化，变得比以前暖和了。根据“than”可知，用形容词的比较级warmer。故填warmer。
【42题详解】
考查动词不定式。句意：这改变了天气模式，所以在一些地方不再有足够的雨水供人们生存。allow sb to do sth“允许某人做某事”。故填to live。
【43题详解】
考查名词。句意：我们可以采取许多措施来节约大量的水资源。take steps to do sth“采取措施做某事”为固定短语。故填steps。
【44题详解】
考查时态和主语为一致。句意：缩短淋浴时间和在刷牙时关掉水龙头都是有帮助的方法。本句在说明事实，所以本句为一般现在时，主语为Taking shorter showers and turning off the water，所以be动词为are，故填are。
【45题详解】
考查动名词。句意：只要我们每个人都有节约用水的意识，我们就能看到巨大的变化。介词of后接动名词saving作宾语。故填saving。

Jenny is a pretty six-year-old girl. Born in a small town in Scotland, she is the apple of her parents’ eye. One day when Jenny and her mother were checking out at the supermarket, Jenny saw a plastic pearl necklace priced at $2.50. Obviously, Jenny liked it very much. She stared at it for a moment and looked up at her mother. When the mother and daughter’s eyes met, they both couldn’t help laughing knowingly.
Her mother bought the necklace for her on condition that she had to do some housework to pay it off. Jenny agreed. She worked very hard every day, and soon Jenny paid off the necklace. Jenny loved it so much that she wore it everywhere except when she was in the shower. Her mother had told her it would turn her neck green!
Jenny had a very loving daddy. He ran a cake shop in town. Business was slowing down, and the whole family only made ends meet. No matter what trouble she had, the strong man always smiled in front of his wife and children. Every evening, when Jenny went to bed, he would read Jenny her favorite story.
One night when the father finished reading an interesting story, he said, “Jenny, could you give me your necklace ”
“Oh! Daddy, not my necklace!” Jenny said. “But you can have Rosy, my favorite doll. Remember her You gave her to me last year for my birthday. Okay ”
“Oh, no, darling, that’s okay.” Her father brushed her cheek with a kiss. “Goodnight, little one.” Jenny held her beloved necklace tightly for fear that it would be taken away.

【答案】Para 1:
“Oh, no, darling, that’s okay,” her father said and kissed her again on the cheek. Jenny’s big bright eyes flashed in the dark, wondering why her father liked her necklace. Several days later, when Jenny’s father came in to read her a story, Jenny was sitting on her bed and her lips were trembling. “Here, Daddy,” she said, holding out her hand. She opened it and her beloved pearl necklace was inside. She let it put into her father’s hand. With one hand her father held the plastic pearl necklace and with the other he pulled out of his pocket a blue box.
Para 2:
Inside the box was a real, beautiful pearl necklace. Jenny almost jumped out of bed when she saw the shiny necklace. Her father had learned from his wife how Jenny got the necklace and loved it. So he decided to stop smoking and use the money he saved to buy a real necklace for his daughter. He had had it all along. He was waiting for Jenny to give up the cheap necklace so he could give her a real one, which was worth at least $150.

The Most Beautiful Beaches in Tulum
With a colorful arts scene and many wonderful restaurants, Tulum is one of the best travel destinations in Mexico, especially this town’s Caribbean coastline. Here’s our summary of the most beautiful beaches in Tulum.
Playa Ruinas
Playa Ruinas is home to well-preserved Mayan ruins overlooking the Caribbean Sea. The beach has whites and, blue waters and a site of historical importance. The top of Castillo was built as a watchtower in the 13th century and is now the third most visited archaeological site in Mexico after Teotihuacán and Chichén Itzá.
Playa Paraíso
Playa Paraíso is another beautiful spot in Tulum. The sand, surrounded by palm trees, is a popular place for volleyball lovers—and it’s large enough to ensure that it’s never overcrowding. There are also plenty of restaurants where you can enjoy lots of food, plus boats offering diving journeys in the warm sea.
Las Palmas
Las Palmas owns peaceful sand and gentle blue waves, more peaceful than Playa Paraíso. You won’t find dealers or restaurants in the area. Although this may be less convenient, it also means Las Palmas is the perfect place if you’re looking to get away from the crowded beaches.
Akumal Beach
Driving a car for less than 30 minutes from central Tulum, Akumal Beach is great for family outings and diving. Clearly busier than the peaceful beaches around Tulum, Akumal is near many bars and restaurants. Beach umbrellas are available to rent, and delicious food and ice-cold beers are on offer all day long.
1. Which beach has both beautiful scenery and an ancient building
A. Playa Paraiso. B. Playa Ruinas. C. Las Palmas. D. Akumal Beach.
2. What can visitors do on Playa Paraíso
A. Play volleyball. B. Watch gentle blue waves.
C Visit an archaeological site. D. Buy an umbrella.
3. What do Playa Paraíso and Akumal Beach have in common
A. They own peaceful sand. B. Visitors can dive there.
C. They have food and ice-cold beers. D. They’re not far from central Tulum.
B
On September 2nd, BUAA (北京航空航天大学) welcomed its first 2021 student. His name is Xing Yifan, coming together with his parents ahead of time.
Yifan is 18 years old, but he weighs only 18 kilograms. When 6 months old, he suffered from LAMA2 (渐冻症), a type of disease that no more than a hundred people have got in the country. However, with his strong will, he made one amazing achievement after another in learning. In this year’s college entrance exam, he entered BUAA with a score of 645.
Because of the illness, Yifan can only sit alone for a while, unable to stand and walk like other children. In class, he could only put his head on the table and his eyes can only scan half the pages of the book. He couldn’t turn over the book with one hand. And he could only sit and listen to a class for up to 30 minutes, with the remaining 15 minutes to lie down to listen to his teacher.

To live is much more difficult than others. Why does he have to learn The family said because of the serious disease, he was deprived (剥夺) of the right to walk, run, jump, but he can no longer be deprived of the right to receive education.

If you are able to step outside and hear many types of birds, you might have a great feeling. Two studies show that hearing different birdsongs may help increase our happiness.
A study was done by researchers at California Polytechnic State University of the US. They studied the influence of birdsong on people walking through a park. A researcher called Ferraro says that there could be an biological (生物的) reason why we like birdsong. She says that in some areas around the world birdsong can also mean the arrival of spring and nice weather, and different kinds of birds can also mean a healthy environment.
Ferraro and her team played recorded birdsong from a group of different kinds of birds that are native to the area. They did this on hiking track in a park. Over several weeks, the researchers played recorded birdsong at certain times of the day and other times they did not. Then they talked with hikers who passed by. The hikers who heard the recorded different birdsong reported a greater sense of joy than those who heard simply the park’s birds. The researchers suggest that both the bird sounds and different kinds of animals and plants can increase people’s feelings of happiness.
Ferraro explained that she used native birdsong for the study. This way it would sound as natural as possible. They also did the study during the summer. She explains why this is important. “Because the spring is most birds’ breeding (繁殖) season. And if we would have played the birdsong during breeding season, as you know, it might have disturbed them. We didn’t want to disturb the birds too much.”
8. What can we learn from paragraph 2
A. Birdsong attracts people to walk in the park.
B. Birdsong means the arrival of spring everywhere.
C. Different birds in some areas mean a good environment.
D. People like birdsong mainly because of biological reasons.
9. Which statement of the following may the researchers support
A. Hikers like natural birdsong in the hike track better.
B. Recorded birdsong can also makes hikers feel happy.
C. There was not natural birdsong in the park.
D. Recorded birdsong must be played all the day in the park
10. Why did Ferraro and her team do the study in summer
A. Because birds could be caught easily in summer.
B. Because birds usually breed in summer.
C. Because birdsong sounds more beautiful.
D. Because they wanted to avoid disturbing birds’ breeding.
11. Where can the text be found
A. In a history book. B. In a novel.
C. In a science magazine. D. In a travel guidebook.
D
Catch your reusable bag and kiss your plastic bags goodbye. Plastic waste is on its way out, thanks to these governmental bans from around the world.
From Indiana to Maine, governments at all levels in the US are forcing bans and improving recycling. People are shopping smarter and companies are doing better to ensure the protection of our environment. Slowly but surely, the world is entering a brighter future as more and more countries follow. But there’s still a lot of work to be done—or undone.
Since the 1950s, researchers say that about more than 8.3 billion tons of plastic has been produced. And 60% of that waste has ended up in the environment. That number has increased quickly over the years. For example, it was recorded that the world’s plastic production doubled from 1976 (50 million tons) to 1989 (100 million tons). It was highest at 368 million in 2019 before decreasing to 367 million in 2020.
A million tons decrease of plastic production is not enough to deal with the rising pressures plastic puts into the environment. We still do not know how long it takes for plastic to breakdown. It means that about 12 million tons of plastic waste that entered the ocean in 2010 is still breaking into micro plastics and filling up the stomachs of birds and sea animals. The plastic going into our environment is not going away. While recent studies of plastic-eating enzymes and bacteria offer some hope for the future of plastic waste management, the best way to deal with our environmental stress is through decrease.
In 2020, New York City began to ban plastic bags. But this wasn’t the first plastic bag ban in a US state. In fact, the US wasn’t even the first country to introduce this idea. Back in 2002, Bangladesh became the first country to implement a plastic bag ban. Since then, other countries have followed, introducing their own ways to fight with the continuing plastic bags.
12. What do we know about plastic waste
A. We have completely cleaned it up B. It is hardly increasing all over the world.
C. We have done nothing to deal with it. D. There is a long way to solve the problem of it.
13. How much plastic waste has been put into the environment since the 1950s
A. More than 8.3 billion tons. B. About 5 billion tons.
C. About 100 million tons. D. Less than 368 million tons.
14. What can be inferred about dealing with plastic
A. It doesn’t take long to breakdown it B. Sea animals can be eating most of it.
C Some enzymes and bacteria help a lot. D. Cutting plastic waste down is still the best way.
