The Best Free Tourist Places in America
Alaska: Anchorage Market and Festival
Though Anchorage is not the capital of Alaska, it is the state’s largest city with the largest population. The Anchorage Market and Festival is open and free of charge on weekends.Anchorage is at the beginning of the Tony Knowles Coastal Trail, where walks can last between two hours and a half day.
It’s free, of course.
Arkansas: Walmart Museum
Lying in the northeast corner of Arkansas is Bentonville, which gave birth to a little mall you may have heard of. It’s Walmart, one of the biggest companies in the world at present. It is free to visit Walmart Museum, which attracts thousands of visitors every year. And just outside the town is the well-known Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, which is also free.
Connecticut: Yale University
New Haven, Connecticut was the first place in the U.S. to offer pizza to the hungry and the homeless, including students of Yale University. While in New Haven you can go on a tour of the campus, where many beautiful buildings have existed for a long time. It’s the university where President Bushes, Bill and Hillary Clinton, journalist Bob Woodward, and Samuel F.B. Morse studied.
Kansas: Santa Fe Trail
Western Kansas has very little light pollution. So as you travel along, stop once in a while and stare at the night sky. The Santa Fe Trail went through Kansas and you can still walk the longest remaining distance of the road just outside Dodge City.

“Runners, on your mark. Get set...” Bang! And I was off, along with other teenage runners from high schools across the country. It was a fine day, like any other fair-weather autumn day in Maryland. But the race that day felt unique from the get-go. For one thing, I like the course. It was my team’s home course, one I was used to running during practices. It took runners along terrain(地形) that includeed open fields, hills and even dirt paths through a small forest. It was a beautiful 5-kilometer course. This particular race was our team’s invite, and I was proud to be sharing the course with competitors from other schools. It also meant a lot more than normal-that my parents were to cheer me on.
With so much to expect that day, I was ready to run! And I didn’t want to be stuck with other runners, as is typical at the beginning of most cross-country races. So when the gun sounded, I took off running, leaving everyone else in the dust.
The first of our course followed a large open field before disappearing into the forest. Within seconds of the start, I was far ahead of everyone, and all of the fans could see it. It felt magnificent!
But that feeling didn’t last long. Little did I know my coach was laughing to himself, thinking,“Gabe is done for!” And I was. My body was telling me to slow down. My pride, however, said“No! Not until you’re out of the audiences!”I was in pain, but I kept up my pace until I reached the forest. Once I was among the trees, I slowed my way down.
I enjoyed most races, even while pushing myself, but this one was not enjoyable in the least. I finished the race, but in nowhere near the time I could have if I’d paced myself well from the beginning. Every time I reflect on that cross-country season, I’m reminded of something,:Pride is no substitute for pace.
What made the race unique to the author according to Paragraph 1
The blue sky and white clouds. B. The competitors and audiences.
C. The home course and his parents. D. The unknown terrain and fair weather.
What can be inferred from Paragraph 4
The coach thought the author was going to fail the race.
The coach thought the author would probably be prized.
The coach thought the author was doing a great job.
The coach thought the author needed to pace up.
Why didn’t the author enjoy the race
Because he slowed his way down.
Because he didn’t finished the race.
Because he lost the game completely.
Because he could have done better.
Which of the following can be the best title for the text
The Race Less Paced B. The Meaning of Pride
C. A Race worth Celebrating D. A Competition of My Team
C
Preparing Cities for Robot Cars
The possibility of self-driving robot cars has often seemed like a futurist’s dream, years away from materializing in the real world. Well, the future is apparently now. The California Department of Motor Vehicles began giving permits in April for companies to test truly self-driving cars, and to operate driverless taxi services. California, it should be noted, isn’t leading the way panies have been testing their vehicles in cities across the country. It’s hard to predict when driverless cars will be everywhere on our roads. But however long it takes, the technology has the potential to change our transportation systems and our cities, for better or for worse, depending on how the transformation is regulated.
While much of the debate so far has been focused on the safety of driverless cars (and rightfully so), policymakers also should be talking about how self-driving vehicles can help reduce traffic jams, cut emissions(排放) and offer more convenient, affordable mobility options. The arrival of driverless vehicles is a chance to make sure that those vehicles are environmentally friendly and more shared.
Do we want to copy- or even worse- traffic of today with driverless cars Imagine a future where most adults own individual self-driving vehicles. They tolerate long, slow journeys to and from work on packed highways because they can work, entertain themselves or sleep on the ride, which encourages urban spread. They take their driverless car to an appointment and set the empty vehicle to circle the building to avoid paying for parking. Instead of walking a few blocks to pick up a child or the ry cleaning, they send the self-driving minibus. The convenience even leads fewer people to take public transports-an unwelcome side effect researchers have already found in ride-hailing (叫车) services.
A study from the University of California at Davis suggested that replacing petrol-powered private cars worldwide with electric, self-driving and shared systems could reduce carbon emissions from transportation 80% and cut the cost of transportation infrastructure(基础设施) and operations40% by 2050. Fewer emissions and cheaper travel sound pretty appealing. The first commercially available driverless cars will almost certainly be fielded by ride-hailing services, considering the cost of self-driving technology as well as liability and maintenance issues(责任与维护问题）.But driverless car ownership could increase as the prices drop and more people become comfortable with the technology. Policymakers should start thinking now about how to make sure the appearance of driverless vehicles doesn’t extend the worst aspects of the car-controlled transportation system we have today. The coming technological advancement presents a chance for cities and states to develop transportation systems designed to move more people, and more affordably. The car of the future is coming. We just have to plan for it.
According to the author, attention should be paid to how driverless cars can________________.
provide better services to customers
help deal with transportation-related problems
cause damage to our environment D. make some people lose jobs
As for driverless cars, what is the author’s major concern
Affordability. B. Side effects.
C. Management. D. Safety.
What does the underlined word”fielded” in Paragraph 4 probably mean
Shared. B. Replaced. C. Reduced. D. Employed.
What is the author’s attitude to the future of self-driving cars
Sympathetic. B. Disapproving. C. Positive. D. Doubtful.
D
American and Canadian ocean scientists are taking an unexpected opportunity presented by the coronavirus pandemic. They are trying to discover whether Pacific Northwest whales benefit from the drop in boat traffic and underwater noise.
Stay-home laws have greatly reduced entertaining boat trips and ferry crossings this mercial whale watching tours remain on hold. Large ships carrying goods continue to come and go less often. Noise and boat disturbance are considered main reasons for the decrease of the Northwest’s endangered killer whales besides reducing food supply and pollution.
“From a killer whale’s point of view, not having fast moving boats around might be quite beneficial,” said oceanographer Scott Veirs of Seattle, who is in charge of an underwater microphone network called Oreasound.
However, the decrease in sea traffic by the coronavirus pandemic may be short-lived, meaning archers have to act fast to document if the quieter seas make happier, healthier whales.
“We are all trying to remain ready,” Veirs said. “If the pandemic continues to affect boat traffic for the next couple of months, we’ll have a very rare activity when noise levels are reduced. I hope that happens, opportunity to observe killer whale activity when noise levels are reduced. I hope that happens.”
The population of killer whales in the water of the U.S. Pacific Northwest and southwestern British Columbia has reduced to around 73. They use sound to hunt, locate and communicate, but noise from boat engines can affect the sound waves they make for echolocation(同声定位). Other larger whales that live Northwest waters communicate over longer distances in a frequency band(波段) that is almost the same with the low frequency noise made by large container ships.
Veirs believes if we continue to not have any commercial whale watching and limit our entertaining boating, the killer whales would certainly experience less of noise disturbance from the boats.
What do killer whales benefit from the coronavirus pandemic
Reduced noise and boat disturbance.
More whale watching tourists.
Stricter laws on ocean pollution.
Increased food supply.
What is the concern of Scott Veirs
The echolocation function of whales is damaged.
The ocean traffic may increase before long.
The frequency band whales use is similar to boats.
The population of killer whales drops too quickly.
What is Paragraph 6 mainly about
The population of killer whales.
Why noise from boats affects the life of whales.
How killer whales use sound waves.
The frequency band killer whales use.
Where does the passage come from
A travel diary. B. A brochure.
Science fiction. D. A science report.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
A month before my first marathon, one of my ankles was injured and this meant not running for two weeks, leaving me only two weeks to train. Yet, I was determined to go ahead.
The idea that I was “not athletic” stuck with me for years. When I started running in my 30s, I realized running was a battle against my own body and mind.
The night before my marathon, I had a nightmare that I couldn’t even cross the finish line. I woke up sweating and nervous. My wife still encouraged me to prove something to myself. She is my biggest fan, who never minded the alarm clock at a.m. or questioned my expenses on running.
It was winter but people from all walks of life crowed along the course, enjoying the marathon in their own ways. Without a cloud in the sky, the light took on a magical color. Shortly after embarking on the journey, my shoelaces became untied, so I stopped to readjust. Not the start I wanted!
At mile 3, I passed a sign:“GO FOR IT, RUNNERS!”
By Mile 17, I became out of breath and the once injured ankle hurt badly, for which I had prepared myself well in advance. Despite the pain, I stayed the course walking a bit and then running again.
By mile 21, I was starving! The only thing I could do to strengthen my body was to take a few sips of water. I realized that I was left behind, but it didn’t matter a bit to me, because I kept telling myself that it was not a competition with other participants, but a test of will.
As I approached mile23, I couldn’t feel my feet anymore, feeling like floating in the air. However, what happened next second changed this ordinary day－immediately a vehicle lost its control and dived into the canal beside the course! The crowds just rushed to the bank and saw a woman behind the wheel in the sinking car.
