There are a lot of great national parks in the US. If you love visiting national parks, here are some for you.
Zion National Park
Location: Utah
As one of Utah's 5 national parks, Zion National Park is surely the most amazing. The summer is packed with people and very hot, so it may be best to visit it during the spring or fall for the best conditions.
Acadia National Park
Location: Maine
Here in Maine, where America starts its day, you'll catch the sunrise before the rest of the country. And it is especially amazing at Acadia National Park. Here you'll be able to explore (探索) wonderful mountains and lakes.
Shenandoah National Park

Escape the busy city life and have some exciting experiences right at Shenandoah National Park. After a quick drive from Washington D．C., you'll find some of the most well known scenery (景色) in the country.
Grand Teton National Park
Location: Wyoming
Just a stone's throw away from Jackson, WY, lies Grand Teton National Park. Jackson, WY, is one of America's best towns for outdoor sport. Named for the Grand Teton, the park is full of surprises.
1．If you want to enjoy the beautiful sunrise, you'd go to ________.

The English language has a lot of words which can be used in many different ways and in many different expressions.
One such example is the word matter. In fact, matter can mean just about anything. It could be one of the most useful words in the English language.
Let's get to the heart of the matter — a matter of principle (原则)．
If someone says that you owe (欠) him $50, but you don't, a friend might say，“Well, you could pay him the $50. It's not that much money. Then you won't have to hear him say it anymore.” But if you do not owe him the money, do not pay him the money. It's a matter of principle.
There is another way to use the word matter. But be careful with your choice of words.
If you ask someone, “What's the matter？”， it shows you are worried about the other person. But saying, “What's the matter with you？” has a completely different meaning. And it usually sounds rude (粗鲁的). In fact, when you say, “What's the matter with you？”， you are suggesting that the person did something wrong or stupid.
Another expression that could sound rude is to say, “It doesn't matter to me.” Here, it depends on the context,_and how you say it.
Let's say you tell someone that a friend just got a big raise at work. That person answers with, “It doesn't matter to me.” Here, it means he or she does not care. And it sounds rude.
But saying，“Oh, you pick where we eat dinner. It doesn't matter to me.” does not sound rude. In this situation, “it doesn't matter” shows you are easy going (随和的)．
No matter how you look at it and what you say, matter is a very useful word. And it's only a matter of time before you will become an expert on the use of matter.
4．We can infer from the text that the word matter ________.
A．has a wide use

A．choice B．person
C．situation D．answer
7．The author develops the text mainly by ________.
A．using examples
B．giving instructions
C．describing his experiences
D．discussing research findings
C
I have many new teachers in high school, but Lori Runkle, my English Language and Composition teacher, is my favorite teacher.
Ms. Runkle enjoys getting to know more about students, so I have many chances to talk with her after class. I have always wanted to become a journalist (新闻记者). Since Ms. Runkle used to be a journalist back in the United States, she has introduced many helpful journalistic writing skills to me.
Although she is my teacher, Ms. Runkle and I are more like friends. She often invites my classmates and me to take part in different activities outside of school. For example, I went to listen to a journalist's speech, which helped me better understand current events (时事)．
Not only does Ms. Runkle talk with me outside of school, she is also a great teacher in the classroom. English Language and Composition is a really hard subject for a second language learner. We felt worried in the beginning, but Ms. Runkle really makes an effort to help us out. In class, Ms. Runkle always encourages students to question everything to keep us active. One part of class I love the most is when groups of students are required to give speeches on events that are happening in the world. It requires a lot of deep thinking and I really learn quite a lot from it.
I love Ms. Runkle very much. She not only helps me to get good scores, but also acts as a good friend and always gives me advice on life.
8．After class, the author ________.
A．seldom sees Ms. Runkle
B．talks with Ms. Runkle quite a lot

C．asks them to describe current events
D．tells them about events that are happening
11．What is the author's purpose of writing the text

B．To look back on her special high school life.
C．To describe an unforgettable teacher.
D．To show what makes a good teacher.

If you want to become a fluent English speaker you should take some advice: There are four skills in learning English.They are reading, listening, speaking, and writing. The most important thing you must remember is that if you want to improve your speaking and writing skills you should first master the skills of reading and listening.
Read as much as you can.But your reading must be active.It means that you must think about the meaning of the sentence, the meaning of the unfamiliar words, etc.There is no need for you to pay much attention to grammar or try to understand all the unfamiliar words you come_across,_but the fact that you see them for the first time and recognize them whenever you see them, for example in other passages or books, is enough. It would be better to prepare yourself a notebook so you can write down the important words or sentences in it.
As for listening, there are two choices: besides reading, you can listen every day for about 30 minutes.You can only pay attention to your reading and become skillful at your reading, then you can catch up on your listening.Since you have lots of inputs in your mind, you can easily guess what the speaker is going to say.This never means that you should not practice listening.
For listening you can listen to cartoons or some movies that are specially made for children.Their languages are easy.Or if you are good at listening you can listen to VOA or BBC programs every day.Again the thing to remember is being active in listening and preferably taking some notes.
If you follow these pieces of advice, your speaking and writing will improve automatically (自动地), and you can be sure that with a little effort they will become perfect.
12．According to the author, which should you improve first among the four skills
A．Reading and listening. B．Reading and writing.
C．Writing and speaking. D．Speaking and listening.
13．The underlined phrase “come across” in Paragraph 2 can probably be replaced by “________”．
A．meet by accident B．discover
C．find on purpose D．look for
14．The author seems to agree with the view that ________.
A．everyone should listen to VOA or BBC programs every day
B．you needn't practice listening if you keep on reading every day
C．being good at reading is helpful in improving your listening
D．you should take notes of whatever you are hearing
15．The passage is mainly about how to ________.
A．choose suitable listening materials
B．deal with new words in reading
C．improve your English as quickly as possible
D．become fluent in speaking and writing English

The English language has a lot of words which can be used in many different ways and in many different expressions.
One such example is the word matter. In fact, matter can mean just about anything. It could be one of the most useful words in the English language.
Let's get to the heart of the matter — a matter of principle (原则)．
If someone says that you owe (欠) him $50, but you don't, a friend might say，“Well, you could pay him the $50. It's not that much money. Then you won't have to hear him say it anymore.” But if you do not owe him the money, do not pay him the money. It's a matter of principle.
There is another way to use the word matter. But be careful with your choice of words.
If you ask someone, “What's the matter？”， it shows you are worried about the other person. But saying, “What's the matter with you？” has a completely different meaning. And it usually sounds rude (粗鲁的). In fact, when you say, “What's the matter with you？”， you are suggesting that the person did something wrong or stupid.
Another expression that could sound rude is to say, “It doesn't matter to me.” Here, it depends on the context,_and how you say it.
Let's say you tell someone that a friend just got a big raise at work. That person answers with, “It doesn't matter to me.” Here, it means he or she does not care. And it sounds rude.
But saying，“Oh, you pick where we eat dinner. It doesn't matter to me.” does not sound rude. In this situation, “it doesn't matter” shows you are easy going (随和的)．
No matter how you look at it and what you say, matter is a very useful word. And it's only a matter of time before you will become an expert on the use of matter.
4．We can infer from the text that the word matter ________.
A．has a wide use
B．can mean money
C．is the most used English word
D．has the most different expressions
解析：选A 推理判断题。根据第一、二段的描述可知，matter一词用法很广。
5．What is the author's suggestion in Paragraph 4
A．Every penny counts.
B．Stick to what is right.
C．Follow your friend's advice.
D．Be careful when making friends.
解析：选B 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“But if you do not owe him the money, do not pay him the money. It's a matter of principle.”可推测，作者认为钱的数目不重要，重要的是原则问题。因此他觉得在对的事情上要坚持自己的立场，不要轻易做出让步或改变。
6．The underlined word “context” in the text probably means “________”．
A．choice B．person
C．situation D．answer
解析：选C 词义猜测题。根据倒数第二、三段举例说明“It doesn't matter to me”在不同的语境意思不同可知，该表达取决于上下文语境，故选situation。
7．The author develops the text mainly by ________.
A．using examples
B．giving instructions
C．describing his experiences
D．discussing research findings
解析：选A 写作手法题。根据文中用不同的例子来讲解matter的用法可知，作者主要是通过举例来展开全文的。

If you want to become a fluent English speaker you should take some advice: There are four skills in learning English.They are reading, listening, speaking, and writing. The most important thing you must remember is that if you want to improve your speaking and writing skills you should first master the skills of reading and listening.
Read as much as you can.But your reading must be active.It means that you must think about the meaning of the sentence, the meaning of the unfamiliar words, etc.There is no need for you to pay much attention to grammar or try to understand all the unfamiliar words you come_across,_but the fact that you see them for the first time and recognize them whenever you see them, for example in other passages or books, is enough. It would be better to prepare yourself a notebook so you can write down the important words or sentences in it.
As for listening, there are two choices: besides reading, you can listen every day for about 30 minutes.You can only pay attention to your reading and become skillful at your reading, then you can catch up on your listening.Since you have lots of inputs in your mind, you can easily guess what the speaker is going to say.This never means that you should not practice listening.
For listening you can listen to cartoons or some movies that are specially made for children.Their languages are easy.Or if you are good at listening you can listen to VOA or BBC programs every day.Again the thing to remember is being active in listening and preferably taking some notes.
If you follow these pieces of advice, your speaking and writing will improve automatically (自动地), and you can be sure that with a little effort they will become perfect.
