A
If you want to find some places for summer picnics with your family, here are four top picnic areas across the US.
Cumberland Islands, Georgia
Just a few hours south of Savannah, this national seashore is a picnic paradise. It's an unspoiled place in the Deep South with over 50 miles of hiking trails. Covered in Spanish moss, the trails are lined with trees and since it's still a rural area, the stars line up for a spectacular show at night and create the perfect evening starlit picnic opportunity.
Grant Park, Chicago
If you are looking for delicious food in Chicago, go for a taste of a 20 day, lake front, foodie festival that happens in October each year. Grab a spot near the fountain to enjoy your picnic, appreciate the city scenery and lake views and relax with family and friends. If you are there on July 4th, be sure to plan the day to include the fireworks display at the Navy Pier.
Cranberry Islands, Maine
Here, you'll enjoy natural picnics with island views. The islands are a delightful group of islands about 20 minutes offshore from Acadia National Park. You can visit the islands by private boat or ferry (渡船) service. Bring a picnic basket along for the ride as it's a romantic picnic area to take your special someone or go for a family outing to visit the islands.
Big Sur, California
The Point Lobos State Reserve is a small gem. Besides the coastal wildlife there are rare plant communities, and unique geological formations. It's good to have a picnic there. We recommend bringing a telescope, because much of the wildlife can be seen only at a distance.
21. What are Cumberland Islands like
A. They are just next to Savannah.
B. They are rarely covered in Spanish moss.
C. They haven't lost their naturalness.
D. They have a spectacular show every night.
22. Where can you enjoy observing wildlife with a telescope
A. At the Navy Pier.
B. At the Point Lobos State Reserve.
C. In the Deep South.
D. At Acadia National Park.
23. Why does the author write this passage
A. To introduce some picnic areas.
B. To share personal stories about picnics.
C. To tell readers some good ways to relax.
D. To offer readers tips for winter holiday.
B
Body language is an important way of communication. People use body language to send message and feelings. Most people shake hands and make eye contact when they meet people for the first time. Among very good friends, a woman may give another woman a little hug, and a man may kiss a woman quickly on the cheek. Males don’t hug one another, which, however, is changing. Men usually shake hands with the right hand. Sometimes they use the left hand to either cover the handshake or lightly hold the other person's arm. This shows greater warmth and friendship. Most people wave hello or goodbye by extending the arm, the palm facing outwards, and twisting the hand at the wrist. Another way is to raise the arm, the palm outwards, and move the whole arm and hand back and forth. This is important to know because in many other countries, the same movements mean “no”.
When people are waiting in a public place, such as the post office, they usually form lines. Some people get angry and complain if someone pushes their way into a line or jumps ahead of other people. Moreover, many women like men to open doors for them. They also like men to give up their seats on public transportation. However, some women do not like this type of behavior. They feel that men and women should be treated in the same way.
In the United States, it's important to make direct eye contact in business and social situations. If you don't make eye contact, people will probably think that you are bored or not interested. If there is silence in these situations, people usually try to make conversation. Periods of silence make many people uncomfortable. People in the United States usually stand about one arm's length away from each other while talking or standing together. This space is called “the comfort zone”.
In the United States, mothers sometimes show that they are angry with children by shaking an index finger at them. People may show that they like children by patting them on top of the head.
24. What can we infer from Paragraph 1
A. A man usually kisses a woman for greeting.
B. People only use right hands to shake hands.
C. Males begin to hug each other now.
D. People wave goodbye as people in many other countries do.
25. Why don’t some women like to be offered a seat by men
A. They think sitting is harmful for health.
B. They prefer to stand rather than sit.
C. They don't need men's favor.
D. They like to be treated equally.
26. What is the third paragraph mainly about
A. Body language in business and social life.
B. Body language in public places.
C. Impolite body language.
D. The comfort zone.
27. Why does an American mother sometimes shake an index finger at her kids
A. To show her boredom. B. To show her anger.
C. To show her love. D. To show her satisfaction.
C
Organic food is very popular. It is also expensive. Some organic food costs twice as much as non-organic food, but new parents and pet owners are willing to pay up to 200% more for organic food. However, there are people who think it is a waste of money.
There is one main difference between organic and non-organic food. Organic farms do not use agricultural chemicals, such as pesticides. In many countries organic foods have special labels. These guarantee that the products are natural.
Some people think organic means locally grown. Originally this was true. Over time organic farming became more difficult. The demand for organic food grew larger than the supply. Small companies had to sell out to large companies. There weren't enough organic ingredients, such as grain and cattle. This made it difficult for many organic companies to stay in business. Today, many large companies have an organic line of products.
Is organic food more nutritious This is part of the debate. Many farmers and consumers believe it is. They think agricultural chemicals cause health problems such as cancer. Many health professionals disagree. Few studies prove that organic foods prevent health problems. Health specialists worry more about bacteria, such as E.coli and salmonella. These can get into contact with organic and non- organic food. Doctors recommend washing produce very carefully. Handling meat carefully is important too.
Most people agree that naturally grown food tastes better. Is tastier food worth the extra money This is a matter of opinion. Whether it is healthier or not may require more research. However, organic consumers argue it is better to be safe than sorry.
28. What is probably the major concern of organic food consumers
A. Price. B. Safety. C. Freshness. D. Variety.
29. What is the doctors’ suggestion
A. Grow your own food. B. Reduce the use of pesticides.
C. Make sure the food is clean. D. Buy large companies’ products.
30. Which of the following do most people agree on organic food
A. It tastes better. B. It is easier to grow. C. It contains more fat. D. It is more nutritious.
31. Where does this text probably come from
A. A recipe book. B. A chemistry paper. C. A medical report. D. A health magazine.
D
There are well over a hundred firefly species in North America, and the twinkling insects are a special part of many childhood summers.
But over the past few years, alarm bells have been ringing about the disappearance of fireflies around the world. A new survey of firefly researchers shows what are three of the most likely causes.
Scientists surveyed in this study noted three major possible reasons for the firefly decline: habitat destruction, pesticide(杀虫剂) use, and artificial light pollution.
Increasing expansion of agricultural land, especially in places like the Amazon rainforest, is considered the largest cause of habitat destruction. Many firefly species live in areas that are being destroyed for purposes of agriculture, especially in tropical environments that are spared for palm oil plantations.
Pesticides, on the other hand, clearly have an agricultural link. Firefly.org notes that no studies have been done specifically to examine the effects of common insecticides on fireflies, but there’s evidence surrounding that direct question that raises concerns. One study indicates that common insecticides are dangerous to common insects found in lawns, including firefly larvae(幼虫), which do not fly. Another finds that insecticides can be dangerous to some of the invertebrate species, like earthworms, that the firefly larvae eat.
Artificial light pollution is trickier; research indicates that artificial light can mess with the firefly’s ability to mate and communicate, which they do largely with their blinking lights. It’s not clear how much artificial light pollution comes from agriculture, but some studies suggest that farming does create artificial light.
There’s lots of work left to be done to figure out exactly what’s going on with fireflies. But what does seem clear is that agriculture is at least tied into their decline.
32. What does the underline phrase “the twinkling insects” in Paragraph 1 mean?
A. Stars in the sky. B. Lanterns in the streets.
C. Toys giving off light. D. Firefly species.
33. What’s the author's attitude towards using common pesticides
A. Supportive. B. Worried. C. Satisfied. D. Indifferent.
34. Why is Artificial light to blame for the disappearance of fireflies
A. Because artificial light makes it easy for them to be caught by naughty kids.
B. Because artificial light makes firefly larvae easy to be caught by their enemies.
C. Because artificial light makes it difficult for fireflies to mate and communicate.
D. Because artificial light makes them less attractive and loses their human protection.
35. What’s the text mainly about
A. Fireflies are disappearing, and agriculture is partly to blame.
B. A special part of many childhood summers in North America.
C. Habitat destruction leads to the disappearance of fireflies.
D. Solutions to the disappearance of fireflies.

It is argued that food is part of who we are. It’s part of our habits and cultures. Sadly, we love food, but we don’t take care of it. 36 Here are ways to help us love our food better and grow respect the world behind what we eat.
Reduce your food waste.
Buy only the food you need, learn to love ugly fruits and vegetables, store food wisely, donate excess and turn leftover food into the next day’s meals. When we waste food, all the resources used for growing, processing, transporting and marketing that food are wasted too. 37
Support your local food producers.
Chefs get awards, stars and recognition for their creations. But what about our farmers 38 Aren’t farmers the real heroes Shop at your local markets and get to know your farmers.
Giving them your business is giving them your recognition and respect.

40
By treating each meal with pride, we respect the farmers who produced it, the resources that went into it and the people who go without. Respect can be passed on. Talk to the people around you and to the next generation about making informed, healthy and sustainable food choices.
A. Have a conversation.
B. Make a wise choice.
C. Our bodies run off of calories and nutrients.
D. For many people on the planet, food is a blessing.

John’s grandfather
John lived in a village with his grandfather. Every morning men went to the farms, and children to the school. Everything was fine. Everyone was happy except John, because his grandfather wouldn’t buy him chocolates or change his school bag. “For what are you saving money ” John shouted at his grandfather angrily. “These aren’t necessities. You are a very good boy. Aren’t you, my good boy ” smiled his grandfather. He knew John wasn’t as bad as he had presented himself. He knew deep down John had a very kind heart. “Yes, I am good. But you are the worst person I have ever met and I hate you.” Join said and stormed out of the room to the school. He was getting late as usual.
His life was like this. Every day he fought with his grandfather at least once. His wishes were not generally satisfied, which really upset him. His grandfather wasn’t poor, but he wasn’t ready to spend on chocolates and clothes.
Upon his arrival at school, he heard his friends talking about the story of the unknown. The teacher had yet not come. He placed his ears to the conversation. “Do you know that someone placed 500 dollars with a message inside Mr. Darwin’s house while he was sleeping ” Said his best friend Gum. “Yes. This happened not only to Mr. Darwin but to many needy families. I wonder who did all this, perhaps, God!” replied Tom. “My father is ill. I wish God helps him, too.” said Gum in a low voice. How great it is to get a surprise!” John thought.
When he returned home, his grandfather was watering the plants in their garden. On seeing him back, his grandfather asked, “How was the day, dear ” “Nothing special”, he said and went into the house. His grandfather loved gardening, who could be found in the garden almost all the time. And John found it the most boring work ever. He had a strong feeling that his grandfather wouldn’t become so selfish, if he hadn’t spent so much time alone in the garden.

Dear Harry,
How are you doing I can’t wait to express my sincere welcome immediately I know you will be our foreign teacher.
As an English lover, I strongly recommend you set up an English Corner, which must be popular among the students. On the one hand, it can arouse our interest in English learning. On the other hand, it is a good way to experience cross-cultural communication. Therefore, I’m sure many students and teachers will be active to participate in it. The time can be scheduled on Friday afternoon, in the stadium. We can talk about English culture and history, sports, music and so on.
I’d be greatly honored if you could accept my suggestion. Looking forward to your positive and prompt reply.
Yours,
Li Hua

Dear Harry,
We are excited to have you, an excellent teacher, teaching in our school. I’m writing to offer my suggestions to you.
What I strongly recommend is that we should hold some more English activities like the English Corner, which can enable students to practice spoken English on a regular basis. This is because setting up an English Corner not only arouses students’ learning interest, but also develop the interaction between students and teachers, bridging the gap between different cultures. Why not just start from 5 p.m. this Friday in front of the library, and shall we talk about travelling this week
I hope you will find my advice helpful.
Sincerely,
Li Hua

Paragraph 1:
When they were eating dinner, John finally broke the silence. “Why do you always spend so much time on your garden without caring about me I don’t have chocolates and new clothes. I’m a good boy but you aren’t a good grandfather.” John said at the top of his voice. However, his grandfather just smiled and said meaningfully, “These aren’t necessities.” “Necessities Needy families ” Something suddenly struck him. The story of the unknown emerged in his mind. “Grandfather is revealing some secret ” John made up his mind to find out the truth.
Paragraph 2:
In the depth of night, a sound hit John’s ears. He quickly got up to see what was going on, only to find his grandfather was about to go out. He tiptoed to follow grandfather so as not to disturb grandfather. But what happened next shocked him. Grandfather placed 500 dollars with a message at the gate of Gum’s house. “Grandfather is the unknown!” Grandfather’s selfishness turned out to be selflessness. John was ashamed of his rude and impolite behavior towards grandfather. John rushed out and said, “Grandfather, please forgive me. It is you that teach me ‘To give is better than to receive.’ Thank you.”

Paragraph 1:
When they were eating dinner, John finally broke the silence. “Why you always labor in the garden?This is the most dull work I have ever known.” John wrinkled his eyebrows and uttered. However, grandfather just smiled to him as usual but said nothing in response. With discomfort rising in him like a tide, John couldn’t help shouting, “You regard gardening as your favorite but you never gave a present to me, let alone a surprise! What on earth are you doing under the blanket all day long!” John sprinted in haste to his bedroom and shut the door with a big bang. And grandfather was left there, breathing out a deep sigh.
Paragraph 2:
In the depth of night, a sound hit John’s ears. He got up to see what was going on, only to find grandfather was about to go out. He tiptoed to follow grandfather. But what happened next shocked him. Grandfather placed 500 dollars with a message at the gate of Tom’s house. It was so unexpected that John’s mouth was wide open. He headed for his grandfather, in his attempts not to cry, and spoke. “Dear grandfather, you’re not to pared with chocolates, I would rather help somebody in need. Kindness is selfless and I’m so proud of you.”

32. D 词义猜测题。根据第一段 “There are well over a hundred firefly species in North America, and the twinkling insects are a special part of many childhood summers.”可知,前文提到过firefly species,当再次提到她时用了定冠词the twinkling insects表特指,因此这里的twinkling insects指的就是firefly species。故D选项正确。
33. B 细节理解题。根据文章第五段 “Pesticides, on the other hand, clearly have an agricultural link. Firefly.org notes that no studies have been done specifically to examine the effects of common insecticides on fireflies, but there’s evidence surrounding that direct question that raises concerns.”可知,另一方面,农药显然与农业有关。Firefly.org该网站指出,目前还没有专门研究常见杀虫剂对萤火虫的影响,但有证据表明,这一直接问题引起了人们的担忧。因此作者对待常见杀虫剂的态度是担忧的。故B选项正确。
34. C 主旨大意题。根据文章第二段 “Artificial light pollution is trickier; research indicates that artificial light can mess with the firefly’s ability to mate and communicate, which they do largely with their blinking lights. It’s not clear how much artificial light pollution comes from agriculture, but some studies suggest that farming does create artificial light.”可知,人工光污染更棘手;研究表明,人造光会干扰萤火虫的交配和交流能力,而这主要是通过它们闪烁的光来实现的。目前尚不清楚有多少人工光污染来自农业,但一些研究表明,农业确实会产生人工光。可知,人造光使萤火虫很难交配和交流,进而影响了萤火虫的消失。故C选项正确。
35. A 主旨大意题。根据文章第二段 “But over the past few years, alarm bells have been ringing about the disappearance of fireflies around the world. A new survey of firefly researchers shows what are three of the most likely causes.”可知,但在过去的几年里,全世界都在为萤火虫的消失敲响警钟。一项对萤火虫研究人员的新调查显示了最有可能的三种成因。以及最后一段 “There’s lots of work left to be done to figure out exactly what’s going on with fireflies. But what does seem clear is that agriculture is at least tied into their decline.” 可知,要弄清楚萤火虫到底发生了什么,还有很多工作要做。但有一点似乎很清楚,农业至少与它们的衰落有关。故A选项正确。
