Swimming Holes in America
In America, these secret swimming holes are hidden and hard to reach but well worth the adventure.
Cummins Falls
Looking for the best place to escape the summer heat in the heartland of America For more than 100 years, Cummins Falls, a scenic,75-foot waterfall located in Jackson County, TN, has been a treasure for Tennessee natives. But now, the secret is out! Although it’s a bit tough to get to, once in the park, the mountains and river provide unmatched beauty on your way to taking a swim in Tennessee's eighth-largest waterfall.
Sliding Rock
A popular place to cool off during those hot North Carolina summers, Sliding Rock waterfall is located in the Pisgah National Forest in Transylvania County. A flattened rock about 60 feet lies in a nearly 7-foot-deep pool at the bottom, making this natural waterslide a great place to visit with people of all ages.
Mooney Falls
It is the tallest water feature in the Grand Canyon, rising 190 feet above the surface. Named after an explorer in the 1800s, Mooney Falls is accessible only by crawling（爬）through 2 underground passages and then climbing down a sheer cliff（峭壁）face with just a couple of chains to hold on to. Although it is tough to get to, the view and the cool alone make it worth the trip.
Lihue Estate
A private swimming hole at the old Lihue Sugar Farm on Kauai, HI, was changed into an inner-tube water ride by Kauai Backcountry Adventures in 2003 and opened to adults. The waters for this 2.5-mile journey, which come from near the top of Mount Waialeale—one of the wettest spots in the world—are channeled through ditches（沟渠）that were hand-dug by farm workers over a century ago.
1. Which hole may be the favourable destination for families
A. Lihue Estate. B. Sliding Rock. C. Mooney Falls. D. Cummins Falls.
2. What can we learn about Mooney Falls from the text

As a self-described military brat (小家伙) , Kathryn Miller has always loved the armed forces. In the summer of 2020, Miller teamed up with her friend Kailyn Rowland to create a documentary for National History Day, a nonprofit organization that holds an annual contest for students. Their documentary, Women at West Point: Breaking Barriers of the Long Gray Line, tells the story of the first women who graduated from West Point in 1980.
In March, Miller and Rowland were announced to have been selected for a Special Recognition of Champions Award as “individuals who have made exceptional contributions to women in the Army” “What we did was never for an award or for recognition; it was about sharing the story of these women, so to receive the award was really special,” Miller said.
Miller and Rowland spent countless hours working on their documentary, reaching out to the 62 women of the class of 1980 and interviewing more than 25 percent of them. “This was hours and hours of research and interviews,” Miller said. “We did Face Times with the women, we met in person, we called them, and so we had so much information, so many news articles going back 40 years. “Miller, whose mom was a veteran (老兵) and dad was a teacher at the United States Military Academy, lived in West Point as a child. “I always saw female cadets (学员) , and it always seemed like, ‘Oh, boys and girls, that’s completely normal, ‘so it was such a shock to me when I realized that girls didn’t always have that opportunity. “While making this documentary, Miller also realized her love for sharing other people’s stories. “I came to realize how much power there is in getting the story right, “she said, “And we were able to experience the gratitude from these women for sharing their stories and showing them that the younger generation really appreciates the doors they opened for us.
4. What’s Kathryn Miller’s purpose of creating the documentary
A. To express her love for the armed forces.
B. To win first place in the competition.
C. To introduce the first female graduates of West Point.
D. To encourage girls to study at West Point.
5. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about
A. The gains from making the documentary. B. The challenges the creators met.
C. The ways of contacting those women. D. The effort behind the documentary.
6. What can we infer from the last paragraph
A. Miller’s parents used to teach military affairs.
B. Women used to have little access to military education.
C. Studying in West Point is challenging for women now.
D. Young people nowadays care little about those stories.
7. Which of the following best describes Kathryn Miller
A. Passionate. B. Modest. C. Humorous. D. Ambitious.
C
Children’s heavy digital media use is associated with a risk of being overweight later in adolescence. A recent study shows that six hours of leisure-time physical activity per week at the age of 11 reduces the risk of being overweight at 14 years of age associated with heavy use of digital media.
Obesity (肥胖) in children and adolescents is one of the most significant health-related challenges globally. A study carried out by the Folkhalsan Research Center investigated whether a link exists between the digital media use of Finnish school-age children and the risk of being overweight later in adolescence. In addition, the study looked into whether children’s physical activity has an effect on this potential link.
The study involved 4,661 children who reported how much time they spent on sedentary (久坐的) digital media use and physical activity outside school hours. The study indicated that heavy use of digital media at 11 years of age was associated with a heightened risk of being overweight at 14 years of age in children who reported taking part in under six hours per week of physical activity in their leisure time. In children who reported being physically active for six or more hours per week, such a link was not observed.
The study also took into account other factors potentially impacting obesity, such as childhood eating habits and the amount of sleep, as well as the amount of digital media use and physical activity in adolescence. In spite of the confounding (混杂的) factors, the protective role of childhood physical activity in the connection between digital media use in childhood and being overweight later in life was successfully confirmed.
“The effect of physical activity on the association between digital media use and being overweight has not been further investigated in follow-up studies so far,” says Postdoctoral Researcher Elina Engberg. “In this study, the amount of physical activity and use of digital media was reported by the children themselves, and the level of their activity was not surveyed, so there is a need for further studies.”
8. The subjects of the study were ________.
A. surveyed three years later after the first one
B. those who kept sitting and used digital media a lot
C. 4,661 school-aged children suffering from obesity
D. lacking in sufficient leisure-time physical activity
9. What does the underlined word “heightened” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Major B. Particular.
C Increasing. D. Slight.
10. What was the focus of the recent study
A. Different factors contributing to kids’ overweight problem.
B. The influence of childhood eating habits on children’s obesity.
C. The relationship among kids’ exercise, digital media use and obesity.
D. Children’s academic challenges resulting from heavy digital media use.
11. What might be talked about in the following paragraph
A. Reasons for carrying out further studies.
B. Guidelines for children and adolescents.
C. Approaches to solving teens’ weight problems.
D. Connections between obesity and physical activity.
D
The relationship between humans and the Amazon Rainforest has not always been a harmonious one. However, recent research suggests that the native peoples of the Putumayo region helped to protect the rainforest, leaving it unchanged for 5,000 years. Perhaps humans’ coexisting with nature is possible after all.
The study, published in PNAS. looked at soil samples (样本) in the Putumayo region of the Amazon in Peru to find how humans influenced the land. The researchers found that the trees sill growing in the region today have been growing there for the last 5,000 years—evidence that the area has not been home to cities and farmland in that time. Traces of charcoal (木炭) found in the soil, however, indicate that people did live there; they just did so in a way that had minimum influence on their environment.
To come to these conclusions, the team dug a 0.6-0.9 meter deep column into the ground, taking samples of soil from different heights along the column. Back in the lab, samples were carbon-dated to determine their age and then sorted under a microscope to look for microscopic mineral particles, known as phytoliths (植硅体). Phytoliths are essential evidence of plants—they remained in the soil thousands of years after the plant died. So researchers can use them to tell which plants have grown in an area in the past.
Over 5,000 years’ worth of samples, no species loss was detected. These findings suggest that contrary to common belief, the Amazon is not untouched by humans, but rather has been protected by them for thousands of years. The management of the rainforest by native peoples appears to have been vital in preserving its biodiversity and will continue to be important in the fight to prevent it from a collapse.
As Nigel Pitman, a co-author on the paper, said: “Since this particular forest is still being protected by native peoples, I hope this study reminds us all how important it is to support their work.”
12. How did native peoples deal with the rainforest in the region of Putumayo
A. They always destroyed the rainforest.
B. They didn’t care about the rainforest.
C. They never lived in the area of the rainforest.
D. They had been in good relationship with the rainforest.
13. What did the researchers try to find in the Amazon forest in Peru
A. The diversity of the plants in the rainforest.
B. The nutrition of the soil samples in the rainforest.
C. The survival age of growing trees in the rainforest.
D. The evidence of human influence on the rainforest.
14. The researchers came to their conclusion by ________.
A. comparing the trees growing there long before and now.
B. analyzing the living habits of native people.
C. studying the climate of the region of Putumayo
D. collecting data from former experiments.
15. What can be inferred from Nigel Pitman’s words
A. Native peoples should protect the rainforest.
B. We should help protect the Amazon Rainforest.
C. More science research should be done on rainforest.
D. We should make good use of the Amazon Rainforest.
第二节（共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Bad news sells. If it bleeds, it leads. No news is good news, and good news is no news. Those are the classic rules for the evening broadcasts and the morning papers. ____16____ By tracking people’s e-mails and online posts, scientists have found that good news can spread faster and farther than disasters and sob stories.
“The ‘if it bleeds’ rule works for mass media,” says Jonah Berger, a scholar at the University of Pennsylvania. “____17____ But when you share a story with your friends, you care a lot more how they react. You don’t want them to think of you as a Debbie Downer.”
Researchers analyzing word-of-mouth communication—e-mails, Web posts and reviews, face-to-face conversations—found that it tended to be more positive than negative. ____18____ Then was positive news shared more often because people experienced more good things than bad things To test for that possibility, Dr. Berger looked at how people spread a particular set of news stories: thousands of articles on The New York Times’ website. He and a Penn colleague analyzed the “most e-mailed” list for six months. One of his first findings was that articles in the science section were much more likely to make the list than non-science articles. ____19____
Readers also tended to share articles that were exciting or funny, or that arouse (激发) feelings like anger or anxiety, but not articles that left them merely sad. ____20____ The more positive an article, the more likely it was to be shared, as Dr. Berger explains in his new book, “Why Things Catch On.”
A. They catch your attention and involve you in discussion.
B. They want your eyeballs but don’t care how you’re feeling.
C. Yet, that didn’t necessarily mean people preferred positive news.
D. The best articles are just like magnets, dragging readers to share them with each other.
E. They needed to be inspired one way or the other, and they preferred good news to bad.
F. But now information is being spread in different ways, researchers are discovering new rules.
G. He found that science amazed readers and made them want to share this positive feelings with others.

It said, “Dear Anayah, happy birthday. I am a magical diary. You can call me Mr. Dodo. Each day before you go to sleep, you can put one wish that can’t be greedy on me. I will fulfill it until your next birthday, but in return you have to do one task of mine for each wish.”
Anayah exclaimed (惊叫) in joy, “Wow!

Although it’s a bit tough to get to, once in the park, the mountains and river provide unmatched beauty on your way to taking a swim in Tennessee's eighth-largest waterfall.
Sliding Rock
A popular place to cool off during those hot North Carolina summers, Sliding Rock waterfall is located in the Pisgah National Forest in Transylvania County. A flattened rock about 60 feet lies in a nearly 7-foot-deep pool at the bottom, making this natural waterslide a great place to visit with people of all ages.
Mooney Falls
It is the tallest water feature in the Grand Canyon, rising 190 feet above the surface. Named after an explorer in the 1800s, Mooney Falls is accessible only by crawling（爬）through 2 underground passages and then climbing down a sheer cliff（峭壁）face with just a couple of chains to hold on to. Although it is tough to get to, the view and the cool alone make it worth the trip.
Lihue Estate
A private swimming hole at the old Lihue Sugar Farm on Kauai, HI, was changed into an inner-tube water ride by Kauai Backcountry Adventures in 2003 and opened to adults. The waters for this 2.5-mile journey, which come from near the top of Mount Waialeale—one of the wettest spots in the world—are channeled through ditches（沟渠）that were hand-dug by farm workers over a century ago.

【2题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Named after an explorer in the 1800s, Mooney Falls is accessible only by crawling（爬）through 2 underground passages and then climbing down a sheer cliff（峭壁）face with just a couple of chains to hold on to. … it is tough to get to(穆尼瀑布以19世纪一位探险家的名字命名，要进入穆尼瀑布，只能爬过2个地下通道，然后沿着陡峭的悬崖面爬下去，只能抓住几根铁链。很难到达那里)”可知，到达穆尼瀑布很难，要沿着陡峭的悬崖面爬下去，只有几根铁链可以抓。由此推之，到达那里是存在一定危险的。故选C。
【3题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“A private swimming hole at the old Lihue Sugar Farm on Kauai, HI, was changed into an inner-tube water ride by Kauai Backcountry Adventures in 2003 and opened to adults. The waters for this 2.5-mile journey, which come from near the top of Mount Waialeale—one of the wettest spots in the world—are channeled through ditches（沟渠）that were hand-dug by farm workers over a century ago(2003年，在夏威夷考艾岛的老利休糖厂，一个私人游泳池被考艾岛野外探险公司改成了一个内管式水上游乐设施，并对成年人开放。在这段2.5英里的旅程中，水来自世界上最潮湿的地方之一 — 怀亚利尔山的山顶附近，通过一个多世纪前农场工人手工挖掘的沟渠引水)”可知，Lihue Estate是经过人工建造而成的，不是自然形成的。而其他三个地方均为提及这一点。故这是Lihue Estate特别的地方。故选A。
B
As a self-described military brat (小家伙) , Kathryn Miller has always loved the armed forces. In the summer of 2020, Miller teamed up with her friend Kailyn Rowland to create a documentary for National History Day, a nonprofit organization that holds an annual contest for students. Their documentary, Women at West Point: Breaking Barriers of the Long Gray Line, tells the story of the first women who graduated from West Point in 1980.
In March, Miller and Rowland were announced to have been selected for a Special Recognition of Champions Award as “individuals who have made exceptional contributions to women in the Army” “What we did was never for an award or for recognition; it was about sharing the story of these women, so to receive the award was really special,” Miller said.
Miller and Rowland spent countless hours working on their documentary, reaching out to the 62 women of the class of 1980 and interviewing more than 25 percent of them. “This was hours and hours of research and interviews,” Miller said. “We did Face Times with the women, we met in person, we called them, and so we had so much information, so many news articles going back 40 years. “Miller, whose mom was a veteran (老兵) and dad was a teacher at the United States Military Academy, lived in West Point as a child. “I always saw female cadets (学员) , and it always seemed like, ‘Oh, boys and girls, that’s completely normal, ‘so it was such a shock to me when I realized that girls didn’t always have that opportunity. “While making this documentary, Miller also realized her love for sharing other people’s stories. “I came to realize how much power there is in getting the story right, “she said, “And we were able to experience the gratitude from these women for sharing their stories and showing them that the younger generation really appreciates the doors they opened for us.
4. What’s Kathryn Miller’s purpose of creating the documentary

Children’s heavy digital media use is associated with a risk of being overweight later in adolescence. A recent study shows that six hours of leisure-time physical activity per week at the age of 11 reduces the risk of being overweight at 14 years of age associated with heavy use of digital media.
Obesity (肥胖) in children and adolescents is one of the most significant health-related challenges globally. A study carried out by the Folkhalsan Research Center investigated whether a link exists between the digital media use of Finnish school-age children and the risk of being overweight later in adolescence. In addition, the study looked into whether children’s physical activity has an effect on this potential link.
The study involved 4,661 children who reported how much time they spent on sedentary (久坐的) digital media use and physical activity outside school hours. The study indicated that heavy use of digital media at 11 years of age was associated with a heightened risk of being overweight at 14 years of age in children who reported taking part in under six hours per week of physical activity in their leisure time. In children who reported being physically active for six or more hours per week, such a link was not observed.
The study also took into account other factors potentially impacting obesity, such as childhood eating habits and the amount of sleep, as well as the amount of digital media use and physical activity in adolescence. In spite of the confounding (混杂的) factors, the protective role of childhood physical activity in the connection between digital media use in childhood and being overweight later in life was successfully confirmed.
“The effect of physical activity on the association between digital media use and being overweight has not been further investigated in follow-up studies so far,” says Postdoctoral Researcher Elina Engberg. “In this study, the amount of physical activity and use of digital media was reported by the children themselves, and the level of their activity was not surveyed, so there is a need for further studies.”
8. The subjects of the study were ________.
A surveyed three years later after the first one
B. those who kept sitting and used digital media a lot
C. 4,661 school-aged children suffering from obesity
D. lacking in sufficient leisure-time physical activity
9. What does the underlined word “heightened” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Major B. Particular.
C. Increasing. D. Slight.
10. What was the focus of the recent study
A. Different factors contributing to kids’ overweight problem.
B. The influence of childhood eating habits on children’s obesity.
C. The relationship among kids’ exercise, digital media use and obesity.
D. Children’s academic challenges resulting from heavy digital media use.
11. What might be talked about in the following paragraph
A. Reasons for carrying out further studies.
B. Guidelines for children and adolescents.
C. Approaches to solving teens’ weight problems.
D. Connections between obesity and physical activity.
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. C 11. B
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。主要讲述了儿童沉溺数字媒体和青春期肥胖有很大的关系。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“A recent study shows that six hours of leisure-time physical activity per week at the age of 11 reduces the risk of being overweight at 14 years of age associated with heavy use of digital media.”（最近的一项研究表明，11岁时每周进行6小时的休闲体育活动，可以降低14岁时因过度使用数字媒体而超重的风险），可知这项研究第一次是在实验主体11岁的时候；第二次研究是14岁的时候，所以是在第一次研究的三年后实施的。故选A项。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据文章第一段“A recent study shows that six hours of leisure-time physical activity per week at the age of 11 reduces the risk of being overweight at 14 years of age associated with heavy use of digital media.”（最近的一项研究表明，11岁时每周进行6小时的休闲体育活动，可以降低14岁时因过度使用数字媒体而超重的风险），可知沉溺在数字媒体中而不运动会大大增加在14岁时超重的风险。“heightened”所在句中有“heavy use of digital media”（长时间使用数字媒体），可推断出在11岁时大量使用数字媒体会增加青春期肥胖的风险，所以heightened表示的意思和increasing最为接近。故选C项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“In this study, the amount of physical activity and use of digital media was reported by the children themselves, and the level of their activity was not surveyed, so there is a need for further studies.”（ “在这项研究中，孩子们自己报告了身体活动量和使用数字媒体的情况，并没有调查他们的活动量，所以有必要进行进一步的研究。” ），可知最近的研究关注于过度肥胖和运动以及数字媒体的使用之间的关系。故选C项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。本文主要讲述了儿童沉溺数字媒体以及缺乏运动和过度肥胖之间的关系。由此推知，在说明了利害关系后，作者接下来应该会告诫孩子们要注意运动，少接触网络媒体，即给儿童以及青少年一些建议。故选B项。
【点睛】词义猜测类题目的解题技巧：1. 利用同义词、近义词、反义词猜测词义；2. 利用定义或解释猜测词义；3. 利用举例说明猜测词义；4. 利用上下文猜测词义；5. 利用逻辑关系猜测词义；6. 利用构词法猜测词义。本篇第3题就是利用上下文猜测词义。第一段“A recent study shows that six hours of leisure-time physical activity per week at the age of 11 reduces the risk of being overweight at 14 years of age associated with heavy use of digital media.”，讲述了过度沉溺在数字媒体中，可能会导致青春期的肥胖。第三段“The study indicated that heavy use of digital media at 11 years of age was associated with a heightened risk of being overweight at 14 years of age in children who reported taking part in under six hours per week of physical activity in their leisure time.”中的“heavy use of digital media at 11 years of age”表示过度沉溺数字媒体，可知其导致的结果就是肥胖风险的增加。故该题heightened的意思和increasing最为接近。故选C项。
D
The relationship between humans and the Amazon Rainforest has not always been a harmonious one. However, recent research suggests that the native peoples of the Putumayo region helped to protect the rainforest, leaving it unchanged for 5,000 years. Perhaps humans’ coexisting with nature is possible after all.
The study, published in PNAS. looked at soil samples (样本) in the Putumayo region of the Amazon in Peru to find how humans influenced the land. The researchers found that the trees sill growing in the region today have been growing there for the last 5,000 years—evidence that the area has not been home to cities and farmland in that time. Traces of charcoal (木炭) found in the soil, however, indicate that people did live there; they just did so in a way that had minimum influence on their environment.
To come to these conclusions, the team dug a 0.6-0.9 meter deep column into the ground, taking samples of soil from different heights along the column. Back in the lab, samples were carbon-dated to determine their age and then sorted under a microscope to look for microscopic mineral particles, known as phytoliths (植硅体). Phytoliths are essential evidence of plants—they remained in the soil thousands of years after the plant died. So researchers can use them to tell which plants have grown in an area in the past.
Over 5,000 years’ worth of samples, no species loss was detected. These findings suggest that contrary to common belief, the Amazon is not untouched by humans, but rather has been protected by them for thousands of years. The management of the rainforest by native peoples appears to have been vital in preserving its biodiversity and will continue to be important in the fight to prevent it from a collapse.
As Nigel Pitman, a co-author on the paper, said: “Since this particular forest is still being protected by native peoples, I hope this study reminds us all how important it is to support their work.”
12. How did native peoples deal with the rainforest in the region of Putumayo
A. They always destroyed the rainforest.
B. They didn’t care about the rainforest.
C. They never lived in the area of the rainforest.
D. They had been in good relationship with the rainforest.
13. What did the researchers try to find in the Amazon forest in Peru
A. The diversity of the plants in the rainforest.
B. The nutrition of the soil samples in the rainforest.
C. The survival age of growing trees in the rainforest.
D. The evidence of human influence on the rainforest.
14. The researchers came to their conclusion by ________.
A. comparing the trees growing there long before and now.
B. analyzing the living habits of native people.
C. studying the climate of the region of Putumayo
D. collecting data from former experiments.
15. What can be inferred from Nigel Pitman’s words
A. Native peoples should protect the rainforest.
B. We should help protect the Amazon Rainforest.
C. More science research should be done on rainforest.
D. We should make good use of the Amazon Rainforest.

Bad news sells. If it bleeds, it leads. No news is good news, and good news is no news. Those are the classic rules for the evening broadcasts and the morning papers. ____16____ By tracking people’s e-mails and online posts, scientists have found that good news can spread faster and farther than disasters and sob stories.
“The ‘if it bleeds’ rule works for mass media,” says Jonah Berger, a scholar at the University of Pennsylvania. “____17____ But when you share a story with your friends, you care a lot more how they react. You don’t want them to think of you as a Debbie Downer.”
Researchers analyzing word-of-mouth communication—e-mails, Web posts and reviews, face-to-face conversations—found that it tended to be more positive than negative. ____18____ Then was positive news shared more often because people experienced more good things than bad things To test for that possibility, Dr. Berger looked at how people spread a particular set of news stories: thousands of articles on The New York Times’ website. He and a Penn colleague analyzed the “most e-mailed” list for six months. One of his first findings was that articles in the science section were much more likely to make the list than non-science articles. ____19____
Readers also tended to share articles that were exciting or funny, or that arouse (激发) feelings like anger or anxiety, but not articles that left them merely sad. ____20____ The more positive an article, the more likely it was to be shared, as Dr. Berger explains in his new book, “Why Things Catch On.”
A. They catch your attention and involve you in discussion.
B. They want your eyeballs but don’t care how you’re feeling.
C. Yet, that didn’t necessarily mean people preferred positive news.
D. The best articles are just like magnets, dragging readers to share them with each other.
E. They needed to be inspired one way or the other, and they preferred good news to bad.
F. But now information is being spread in different ways, researchers are discovering new rules.
G. He found that science amazed readers and made them want to share this positive feelings with others.

【37题详解】
考查定语从句。句意同上。空处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词social media，在定语从句中作地点状语，需用关系副词where引导。故填where。

考查名词。句意：节目的叙事方式也受到了观众的好评，因为它成功地展示了中国共产党历史和精神的深度，以及中国和每个家庭的温暖。定冠词the修饰名词，空处需填名词depth，此处表抽象概念，不可数。故填depth。
【41题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：许多观众受到启发，去寻找有关该系列的背景信息，并评论说，这是他们第一次了解党和国家的建党历史。空处修饰名词time，需用非谓语动词作定语，time前面有first修饰，需用动词不定式作后置定语。故填to learn。
