Best Months to Visit
The best time to visit the park is from late April to May as well as September through early October. These months offer mild weather, fewer crowds and no road closures. July and August are the most popular months to visit: The kids are out of school and the weather is warm enough to sleep outside.
What You Need to Know
Beware of bears. The whole Yellowstone is a bear habitat. Make plenty of noise when hiking to avoid surprise encounters (相遇).
Don’t forget your permit. If you are looking to camp outside the designated camping areas, you will need to obtain a permit from one of the visitors centers or ranger stations.
There’s an entrance fee. Entry to Yellowstone costs 20 for visitors who enter on foot or by bike, 30 for those arriving by motorcycle and $35 for travelers with a car.
What to Eat

Getting Around Yellowstone National Park
The best way to get around the park is by car. There is no public transportation system in the park. Parking Is available (可用的) throughout the park but depending on the time of year and day, which can be a challenge. Guided tours of the park are also available.

When Ann was 13, she was accepted into a university to study medicine. Shortly after getting the acceptance letter, she shared the exciting news on the Internet. “I graduated from highschool last year at 12 years old. One year later, I was accepted into a university at 13. I’m a junior at college,” she wrote. “I’ve worked so hard to reach my goals and realize my dreams,” she added, going on to credit her mother because her mother gave Ann all her support.
“Mom, I made it,” Ann wrote. “I couldn’t have done it without you. You gave me every opportunity possible to be successful. You are the best mother a kid could ever ask for.

Just off the Florida Keys lies the world’s third-largest coral reef (珊瑚礁), which was once an energetic habitat for millions of plants and animals. But an outbreak of stony coral tissue loss disease threatens to destroy 20 of the 45 species found there, including larger reef-building corals.
“This disease that is burning through the Florida Keys is an unbelievable event that is happening,” said Andrew Stamper, conservation science manager at Disney’s Animals, Science and Environment. “It’s like a wildfire.” Stamper said that would endanger Florida’s fishing industry and food supply. “Unfortunately, we do not know exactly what is causing this,” he said.
In order to save the reef, scientists have moved some species hundreds of miles away to a lab in Orlando. Scientists work to simulate breeding (繁殖) conditions in the lab. The conditions are exactly the same as the living conditions of the coral. The work needs a lot of care, effort and attention to detail. LED lights exactly copy the sun and moon cycles. Volunteers feed the coral in water treated to mimic its real habitat.
“This essentially is a gene bank,” said Jim Kinsler, leader of SeaWorld Orlando. “We’re trying to protect the genetics of these corals so that their offspring(后代)can eventually be returned back to the Florida reef area.”
The task of relocating the lab-grown coral to the sea is also a detailed task. Kinsler, who is part of a team of private and public partners operating the Florida Coral Rescue Center, said, “It’s the first time that many of them have been involved in rescuing an entire ecosystem,”
“We think the real challenge is just growing them out to a size, so we can test them in those waters, test their disease resistance (抵抗力), and then breed the successful corals by the hundreds of thousands literally,” said Andrew Walker, president of the Fish & Wildlife Foundation of Florida.
8. What do we know about the Florida Keys
A. It owns the world’s largest coral reef.
B. A disease broke out among people there.
C. The world’s third-largest coral reef is close to it.
D. It is now the habitat of millions of plants and animals.
9. What do Andrew Stamper’s words mean
A. The root of the disease is unclear.
B. A wildfire broke out in the Florida Keys.
C. The disease will spread across the Earth.
D. The disease has caused a great loss to the locals.
10. What does the underlined word “simulate” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Copy. B. Contrast. C. Escape. D. Feature.
11 What is the purpose of the research according to Andrew Walker
A. To restore the coral in the lab.
B. To sell the coral in the normal size.
C. To make more people involved in protecting the ecosystem.
D. To produce masses of disease-resistant coral back to the sea.
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. A 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇新闻报道。佛罗里达附近的第三大珊瑚礁面临珊瑚组织丧失疾病的威胁，科学家们将一些物种转移到奥兰多的实验室以保护遗传基因，并试图培育出抵抗疾病的珊瑚。最终目标是将实验室培育的珊瑚重新回到佛罗里达旁的珊瑚礁区。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Just off the Florida Keys lies the world’s third-largest coral reef(珊瑚礁), which was once an energetic habitat for millions of plants and animals. But an outbreak of stony coral tissue loss disease threatens to destroy 20 of the 45 species found there, including larger reef-building corals. (佛罗里达群岛附近有世界第三大珊瑚礁，这里曾经是数百万动植物的栖息地。但是，石珊瑚组织丧失疾病的爆发威胁着那里45种珊瑚中的20种，包括更大的造礁珊瑚。)”可知，世界第三大珊瑚礁在佛罗里达群岛附近，爆发疾病的是珊瑚，珊瑚礁区有数百万动植物。故选C项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“‘This disease that is burning through the Florida Keys is an unbelievable event that is happening,' said Andrew Stamper, conservation science manager at Disney’s Animals, Science and Environment. ‘It’s like a wildfire.’ Stamper said that would endanger Florida’s fishing industry and food supply. ‘Unfortunately, we do not know exactly what is causing this,’ he said. (迪士尼动物、科学与环境保护科学经理斯坦珀说，‘正在佛罗里达群岛肆虐的这种疾病是一件令人难以置信的事情。它就像野火一样。’斯坦珀说，这将危及佛罗里达州的渔业和食品供应。他说，‘不幸的是，我们并不确切知道是什么导致了这种情况。’)”可知，珊瑚组织丧失疾病的根源尚不清楚。故选A项。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段“In order to save the reef, scientists have moved some species hundreds of miles away to a lab in Orlando. Scientists work to simulate breeding(繁殖)conditions in the lab. The conditions are exactly the same as the living conditions of the coral. The work needs a lot of care, effort and attention to detail. LED lights exactly copy the sun and moon cycles. Volunteers feed the coral in water treated to mimic its real habitat. (为了拯救珊瑚礁，科学家们已经将一些物种转移到数百英里外奥兰多的一个实验室。科学家们在实验室里simulate繁殖条件。这些条件与珊瑚的生存条件完全相同。这项工作需要大量的细心、努力和对细节的关注。LED灯完全模仿太阳和月亮的周期。志愿者用模拟珊瑚真实栖息地的水喂养珊瑚。)”可知，在实验室里创造出的生存条件、太阳、月亮的周期，以及水都与珊瑚礁在原来栖息地的条件完全相同，即实验室模拟了珊瑚礁原有的繁殖条件，simulate意为“模拟，模仿”，与Copy意思相近，故选A项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第三段“‘This essentially is a gene bank,’ said Jim Kinsler, leader of SeaWorld Orlando. ‘We’re trying to protect the genetics of these corals so that their offspring (后代) can eventually be returned back to the Florida reef area.’ (奥兰多海洋世界的负责人金斯勒说，这实际上是一个基因库,‘我们正在努力保护这些珊瑚的基因，这样它们的后代最终就能回到佛罗里达的珊瑚礁区。’)”可知，科学家们保护珊瑚基因，希望能使他们的后代重返佛罗里达的珊瑚礁区。最后一段“‘We think the real challenge is just growing them out to a size, so we can test them in those waters, test their disease resistance (抵抗力), and then breed the successful corals by the hundreds of thousands literally,’ said Andrew Walker, president of the Fish & Wildlife Foundation of Florida. (佛罗里达州鱼类和野生动物基金会主席安德鲁·沃克说：‘我们认为真正的挑战只是把它们长到一定的尺寸，这样我们就可以在那些水域测试它们，测试它们的抗病能力，然后培育出成千上万的成功珊瑚。’)”，根据安德鲁·沃克的话可知，研究的目的是实验室能培育出成千上万的有抗病能力的珊瑚，这样它们才有机会重新回到佛罗里达的珊瑚礁区。故选D项。

As long as there has been the celebration of Christmas, there have been discussions about when is the right time to start decorating. Though there is no right time, it has been proved that the earlier you decorate for Christmas, the happier you are. Some people think that December 1st is the correct time to start decorating for Christmas, but is there such a thing
A study done by the Journal of Environmental Psychology states: While no one day is better than any others, the earlier you decide to decorate for Christmas, the happier you are. Neighbors see people who decorate for Christmas early as being more friendly and cheerful than those who decorate for Christmas late, or not at all.
The Christmas season means many different things for many different people, and in most cases, the feelings are positive. Seeing the bright lights and multi-colored baubles (圣诞树装饰球) brings many people feelings of joy and nostalgia (怀旧).
While nowadays Christmas trees are decorated with electric lights and glass baubles, things weren’t so different 200 years ago. In those days, trees would be decorated with dried fruits, wrapped candies, as well as garlands (花环) made from popcorn and small berries, and everything would be lit up with lots of candles.
Now, presents are usually kept under the tree, but then, the presents were the decorations. The fruit and candies that so beautifully decorated the trees of the past would be taken down and handed out among the children at the end of the night. For some of the children in less wealthy households, this was often the only candy they would receive all year and so it was always a special occasion.
So, while it may strike people as too early to see decorated houses in November, the people that put up those decorations are just trying to spread their Christmas cheer.
12. How does the author introduce the topic of the text
A. By telling a sad story. B. By raising an argument.
C. By making a definition. D. By stating an odd event.
13. What decorations did people use for Christmas 200 years ago
A. Dried fruits and wrapped candies.
B. Electric lights and glass baubles.
C. Garlands made from fresh flowers.
D. Presents piled under the tree.
14. How would people deal with the decorations in old days
A. They would leave them untouched.
B. They would pile them under the tree.
C. They would get them down and give them to kids.
D. They would take them down and put them aside for the next year.
15. What is the best title for the text
A. Christmas decorations, kids’ favorite presents
B. The development of the Christmas decorations
C. The new decorations for Christmas will make people happier
D. People putting up Christmas decorations earlier tend to be happier
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. C 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章阐述了圣诞节装饰的合适时间以及装饰对人们的影响。研究表明，越早装饰圣诞节，人们越快乐。装饰圣诞树的方式也在200年前与现在有所不同。过去的装饰品会在晚上结束时分发给孩子们。现在，人们装饰房屋早已成为传统，旨在传播圣诞快乐。

Balconies (阳台) are probably not suitable places to grow things. They might be hot, windy, totally shady or with sunlight glaring off the concrete. ___16___ Here are some tips for a green and flowering balcony.
Choose the right plants. Choose plants that either love heat, sun and more heat or those that can grow healthy in shade. As many exposed (无遮蔽的) sunny balconies are also very windy, which should be taken into consideration too, avoid the taller plants for those balconies where strong winds are a regular feature. ___17___
Keep them moist (湿润的), potted plants dry out much faster, even rain doesn’t wet the soil in most pots much.
___18___ A handful of water added to each pot at planting time makes a huge difference to the pot to hold enough water to grow thick and beautiful plants.
___19___ All plants need to have their leaves washed at least once a week. Leaves that aren’t regularly washed get mite (螨) problems. Look at the leaves on plants, you’ll probably see tiny tracks or spots where mites have done harm to leaves. That is why your plants seem to be dying.
Feed them well. Well fed plants are healthier. ___20___ Slow release plant food is best — there’s a wide range on the market. Just look at the shelves. I like to give my pots a treat of seaweed-based fertilizer once they start growing fast in spring. Use according to directions.
A. Clean the leaves.
B. Water the whole plant.
C. They will be blown down in their pots.
D. Plants just weren’t created to live on balconies.
E. The leaves tend to direct the rainwater out of the pot.
F. So how do some people manage to plant them in balconies
G. They can survive heat, cold and drought better with big healthy roots.
【答案】16. F 17. C 18. E 19. A 20. G

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一些关于拥有一个绿色和开花阳台的建议。
【16题详解】
上文“Balconies (阳台) are probably not suitable places to grow things. They might be hot, windy, totally shady or with sunlight glaring off the concrete.(阳台可能不适合种植植物。它们可能很热，有风，完全阴凉，或者阳光从混凝土上照下来。)”提到了阳台恶劣的环境，不利于种植植物；下文“Here are some tips for a green and flowering balcony.(这里有一些关于绿色和开花阳台的建议。)”提到了绿色和开花阳台的建议，该空内容与有人成功在阳台种植有关，F选项中 manage to plant them是关键词，与上文阳台的恶劣环境形成对比，且引出下文讲阳台种植的建议，所以F选项“那么，有些人是如何把它们种在阳台上的呢？”具有承上启下的作用，符合语境。故选F项。
【17题详解】
上文“As many exposed (无遮蔽的) sunny balconies are also very windy, which should be taken into consideration too, avoid the taller plants for those balconies where strong winds are a regular feature.(由于许多暴露在阳光下的阳台也有很大的风，所以也应该考虑到这一点，避免在那些经常有强风的阳台上种植较高的植物。)”提到了在有强风的太阳上避免种植较高的植物，C选项“它们会被风吹倒在罐子里”说明了避免种植较高植物的原因，所以与上文构成因果关系。故选C项。
【18题详解】
上文“Keep them moist (湿润的), potted plants dry out much faster, even rain doesn’t wet the soil in most pots much.(保持湿润，盆栽植物干得快得多，即使下雨也不会使大多数盆栽里的土壤湿润很多。)”提到了盆栽里的土壤不太湿润，E选项“叶子会把雨水从壶里引出来。”说明了土壤不太湿润的原因，与上文构成因果关系。故选E项。
【19题详解】
下文“All plants need to have their leaves washed at least once a week. Leaves that aren’t regularly washed get mite (螨) problems.(所有的植物都需要至少每周洗一次叶子。不经常清洗的叶子会有螨虫问题。)”提到了叶子的清洗，A选项中Clean是关键词，与下文washed呼应，所以A选项“清洗叶子。”能引起下文，符合语境。故选A项。
【20题详解】
上文“Well fed plants are healthier(喂得好的植物更健康)”提到了健康的植物，选项G中的healthy是关键词，与上文healthier呼应，所以G选项“它们的根大而健康，能更好地抵御高温、寒冷和干旱。”能承接上文，讲健康植物的好处，符合语境。故选G项。
第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分)

When Ann was 13, she was accepted into a university to study medicine. Shortly after getting the acceptance letter, she shared the exciting news on the Internet. “I graduated from highschool last year at 12 years old. One year later, I was accepted into a university at 13. I’m a junior at college,” she wrote. “I’ve worked so hard to reach my goals and realize my dreams,” she added, going on to credit her mother because her mother gave Ann all her support.
“Mom, I made it,” Ann wrote. “I couldn’t have done it without you. You gave me every opportunity possible to be successful. You are the best mother a kid could ever ask for. You always believed in me. You allowed me space to grow and make mistakes without making me feel bad. You allowed me the opportunity to experience the world.”
The teen is currently a student in two undergraduate programs studying biological sciences in two universities. She has extremely good time management skills and is very disciplined(自律的).
Ann doesn’t only focus on the classroom when it comes to her education. In 2021, she became the youngest inter (实习生) ever at a government department. Ann said the dream started early for her. Her final goal is to become a flight surgeon(外科医生) and work with astronauts.

You may think you’re too young to do anything. But from Ann’s story, I think you need to change the view. With her effort, Ann has proved that one can do anything if they can do what they can to do what they want to.

Just off the Florida Keys lies the world’s third-largest coral reef (珊瑚礁), which was once an energetic habitat for millions of plants and animals. But an outbreak of stony coral tissue loss disease threatens to destroy 20 of the 45 species found there, including larger reef-building corals.
“This disease that is burning through the Florida Keys is an unbelievable event that is happening,” said Andrew Stamper, conservation science manager at Disney’s Animals, Science and Environment. “It’s like a wildfire.” Stamper said that would endanger Florida’s fishing industry and food supply. “Unfortunately, we do not know exactly what is causing this,” he said.
In order to save the reef, scientists have moved some species hundreds of miles away to a lab in Orlando. Scientists work to simulate breeding (繁殖) conditions in the lab. The conditions are exactly the same as the living conditions of the coral. The work needs a lot of care, effort and attention to detail. LED lights exactly copy the sun and moon cycles. Volunteers feed the coral in water treated to mimic its real habitat.
“This essentially is a gene bank,” said Jim Kinsler, leader of SeaWorld Orlando. “We’re trying to protect the genetics of these corals so that their offspring(后代)can eventually be returned back to the Florida reef area.”
The task of relocating the lab-grown coral to the sea is also a detailed task. Kinsler, who is part of a team of private and public partners operating the Florida Coral Rescue Center, said, “It’s the first time that many of them have been involved in rescuing an entire ecosystem,”
“We think the real challenge is just growing them out to a size, so we can test them in those waters, test their disease resistance (抵抗力), and then breed the successful corals by the hundreds of thousands literally,” said Andrew Walker, president of the Fish & Wildlife Foundation of Florida.
8. What do we know about the Florida Keys
A. It owns the world’s largest coral reef.
B. A disease broke out among people there.
C. The world’s third-largest coral reef is close to it.
D. It is now the habitat of millions of plants and animals.
9. What do Andrew Stamper’s words mean
A. The root of the disease is unclear.
B. A wildfire broke out in the Florida Keys.
C. The disease will spread across the Earth.

As long as there has been the celebration of Christmas, there have been discussions about when is the right time to start decorating. Though there is no right time, it has been proved that the earlier you decorate for Christmas, the happier you are. Some people think that December 1st is the correct time to start decorating for Christmas, but is there such a thing
A study done by the Journal of Environmental Psychology states: While no one day is better than any others, the earlier you decide to decorate for Christmas, the happier you are. Neighbors see people who decorate for Christmas early as being more friendly and cheerful than those who decorate for Christmas late, or not at all.
The Christmas season means many different things for many different people, and in most cases, the feelings are positive. Seeing the bright lights and multi-colored baubles (圣诞树装饰球) brings many people feelings of joy and nostalgia (怀旧).
While nowadays Christmas trees are decorated with electric lights and glass baubles, things weren’t so different 200 years ago. In those days, trees would be decorated with dried fruits, wrapped candies, as well as garlands (花环) made from popcorn and small berries, and everything would be lit up with lots of candles.
Now, presents are usually kept under the tree, but then, the presents were the decorations. The fruit and candies that so beautifully decorated the trees of the past would be taken down and handed out among the children at the end of the night. For some of the children in less wealthy households, this was often the only candy they would receive all year and so it was always a special occasion.
So, while it may strike people as too early to see decorated houses in November, the people that put up those decorations are just trying to spread their Christmas cheer.

A. They would leave them untouched.
B. They would pile them under the tree.

One of my friends, Jose, is the guy who doesn’t even need to say anything and people will just feel comfortable in his presence. He is an amazingly kind guy, who will tell you that his purpose in life is to bring more beauty on this planet.
However, due to economic downturn (衰退), he was fired by his company. He was totally confused and lost. He really loved his job and he thought he did well in his professional field. Such a thing couldn’t have happened on him! He had no idea where to go for help.
One day, he chatted with his mom. All his worry came up. His mom gave him a suggestion that changed his life forever. “Son, your medicine should be that you do an act of kindness every single day. In sharing unconditional love with others, you will find that the love in your life will grow.
Jose was a bit unsure, but he was ready to try anything. So he started with little things like pulling weeds (杂草) Out of someone ‘s garden. using a dollar to pay toll (通行费) for the car behind him, and leaving a nice note on someone’s car window.
Soon enough, a funny change occurred. He would wake up every morning and look forward to thinking of a new way to do an act of kindness. Jose would continue this for years and years. And he was filled with the love that he shared. He started giving more and more. As a result of his kindness, Jose lived on very little. He was month to month with his finances, but he didn’t care.
Jose had an old dark blue truck that he drove around. At one point, I noticed that his truck’s tyres (轮胎) had something wrong and were in dangerous condition. Because of his living conditions, there was no way he could afford to replace the tyres. He would choose to drive less. I looked at it and immediately thought that I should do something.
