Four Truly Unique Canadian Camping Experiences
Mount Robson Provincial Park, British Columbia
Named after the highest mountain in the Canadian Rockies, this park gives you breathtaking views of mountain landscapes along with lakes, waterfalls, canyons, and caves. The Berg Lake campground is located right at the northern base of the 3, 954-meter peak (山巅), which is about a day's hike in.
Fundy National Park, New Brunswick
If you've grown tired of the tent or RV, this park is one of the few national parks offering yurt (蒙古包) rentals.

If you're looking for even more entertainment, the park also hosts music and cultural festivals each summer and has its own golf course.

Prince Edward Island National Park, Prince Edward Island
If you're looking for a family-friendly park, this one is wonderful. Between the seven beaches and more than 50 kilometers of hiking and cycling trails, you'll certainly be kept busy.

Photos of a gentleman reading calmly in bed in the newly-built makeshift hospital in Wuhan, epicenter (中心) of the coronavirus outbreak, went viral on China’s social media platforms, with many calling him the “Invincible Wuhan Man”.
The man, dubbed “The Reader in Fang Cang” (mobile cabin hospital) has even garnered (获得) attention from the author of the book featured in the photo, The Origins of Political Order by Francis Fukuyama, on Twitter. Surnamed Fu, the 39-year old “invincible” reader is currently a teaching postdoc at Florida State University after obtaining his doctorate degree in Wuhan University. His hometown is in Xiaogan, a city neighbouring Wuhan, but his parents currently live in Wuhan. Fu was infected with novel coronavirus when he visited his parents, and he was among the first group of patients transferred to the cabin hospital at Wuhan International Conference and Exhibition Center on Feb. 5, according to Hubei Daily. He bought the book in Wuhan, and he likes reading, Fu told Hubei Daily. He was just reading the book out of interest and never anticipated that the photo would go viral.
As Fu gains more popularity, Fukuyama’s book has also become a hit. The Origins of Political Order quickly topped the recommended book list on China’s review site Douban on Feb 7. Netizens were charmed by Fu’s positive and calm attitude. “This picture of him reading in bed gives me strength and hope, I wonder if he is still available,” said one Weibo user.
“When you feel depressed, reading is one of the solutions to heal your inner pains. Sometimes doing exercises helps too,” said another netizen.
Authorities in Hubei province, especially its capital Wuhan, are resolute in the measures taken to make sure all people needing medical assistance are admitted to medical facilities for the novel coronavirus pneumonia.
4. What made Fu go viral
A. Living in the newly-built makeshift hospital in Wuhan.
B. Posting a picture on China’s social media platforms.
C. Publishing a book called The Origins of Political Order.
D. Reading calmly in the hospital during an outbreak.
5. Why did Fu went to Wuhan
A. To return to his hometown. B. To visit his parents.
C. To buy the book. D. To help people in Wuhan.
6. Which of the following best describes the man, dubbed “The Reader in Fang Cang”
A. Humorous. B. Ambitious.
C. Caring. D. Positive and calm.
7. We can infer that the main purpose of passage is to ______.
A. introduce the book The Origins of Political Order
B. encourage readers to keep positive and calm during the coronavirus outbreak
C. tell readers how to be an “Invincible Wuhan Man”
D. analyse why the coronavirus broke out in Wuhan
C
The race skywards began in America. In the late1800s, industrialization had driven urban populations and land prices up, making tall buildings increasingly cost-effective, according to Carol Willis, director of the Skyscraper Museum in New York, “The very first tall buildings were office buildings that concentrated a work force, piled one on top of the other in order to make business very efficient, ”she says.
Like all major changes in architecture, the trend was underpinned by engineering. The development of steel framework, which could be used instead of load-bearing stones, made it easier and cheaper to build tall. The coming of the elevator, meanwhile, made living on higher floors far more convenient.
Though similar in shape, today's skyscrapers (摩天大楼) look little like those built in the first half of the 20th century. This is mostly thanks to architecture's next major technological shift：the curtain wall.
Postwar developments in manufacturing meant that huge panes of glass could be produced quickly and uniformly, and glass windows soon became the front of choice for high-rises. As well as allowing for greater floor space and more natural light, glass exteriors (外部) help. buildings resist greater wind loads.
There are now 191 completed skyscrapers that are at least 300 meters tall. But that doesn't mean our cities will grow taller indefinitely. While each additional story adds sellable floor space, construction costs also rise. All buildings reach a point where adding an extra floor will cost more money than it brings.
“Every city wants to have this landmark that gives that sense of distinct culture, ”but it also needs places for people to live and work in urban settings“without the city sprawling (无序扩张), ”explains Hong Kong architect Simon Chan.
The next big challenge facing architects goes beyond height：At a time when buildings and their construction account for more than a third of the world's energy consumption and contribute about 40% of greenhouse gas emissions(排放), there are new costs to consider.
Whether it's employing more energy-efficient materials, encouraging natural air or using buildings themselves to generate solar or wind energy, reducing carbon emissions is the new frontier for many skyscraper architects.
8. What does the underlined word“underpinned” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Created. B. Prepared. C. Suggested. D. Supported.
9. What made living on higher floors much more convenient
A. The development of steel framework. B. Load-bearing stones.
C. The use of the elevator. D. The curtain wall.
10. What can we know from paragraph 5
A. Our cities will grow taller definitely.
B. All skyscrapers are at least 300 meters tall.
C. Construction cost rises as the stories increase.
D. The profit for builders will be greater as the building becomes higher.
11. What's the next big challenge facing architects
A. How to build the greenest building. B. How to build the strongest building.
C. How to build the tallest building in the world. D. How to build the most comfortable building.
D
During a hurricane strong winds hit the land. Winds reach speeds of 250 kilometers per hour or more. Some animals including lizards (蜥蜴), may get blown away. But with a good grip (紧抓), others can live through the storm. A new study suggests that such hurricanes can actually help lizards to some degree.
Colin Donihue, a scientist examined lizard species on several Caribbean islands. The process began in 2017, as Donihue was studying lizard populations in Turks and Caicos. A couple of weeks after he and other researchers left there, those islands were hit by hurricanes, first Hurricane Irma and then Hurricane Maria. Returning to the island a year later, he noticed that the populations looked different. The lizards he saw after the hurricanes had larger toe pads than those he’d examined the previous year before the hurricanes. He has looked at 12 island populations of the lizard species Anolis sagrei, and separately analyzed 188 Anolis species with populations that range from Florida to Brazil. He and his team cross-examined the size of their toe pads with the frequency and severity (强度) of Caribbean hurricanes. Over the past 70 years of hurricane data, the result stood out: larger toe pads had a close connection with more serious hurricanes.
The study better explained how evolutionary (进化的) processes are helping species become stronger, even as global climate change threatens their long-term survival. In the past hurricanes simply haven’t been common enough to matter in an evolutionary timeline. But due to climate change, there will be more hurricanes. Some populations can be completely destroyed by hurricanes. But in the case of the lizards Donihue studied, the ones that survived these violent storms were the ones with larger toe pads. And their babies also had similarly large toe pads. That small change in their body tells us how species change as the environment around them changes as well.
12. What did Colin Donihue’s study find
A. Hurricanes had an influence on lizards’ evolution.
B. Many kinds of lizards existed on the Caribbean islands.
C. Hurricanes Irma and Maria caused lizards5 extinction.
D. The lizards on the islands were stronger than others.
13. According to Paragraph 3 lizards with larger toe pads may ________.
A. have a small population B. do well in finding food
C. tend to fight intensely with each other D. be spotted where hurricanes hit hard
14 What can we conclude from the last paragraph
A. Humans must contribute to lizards9 development.
B. Some species become stronger due to climate change.
C. Lizards will be removed from the earth sooner or later.
D. Climate change often brings disadvantages to lizards.
15. What can be the best title for the text
A. The Perfect Place for Lizards to Live B. More Hurricanes Hit the Caribbean Islands
C. Hurricanes Help Lizards Grow Stronger D. Tough Life for Lizards on the Caribbean Islands

After retiring from a long career teaching English at Huntington East High School, my brother, Bob, planned to travel the world. Instead, I was visiting him in the hospital where he had undergone a heart operation. He had a long road to recovery ahead.
Bob didn’t have much experience with being a patient. Certainly not as much as I did. He had always been healthy and kept in good shape, working part-time as a volunteer since retirement. I had grown up with chronic (慢性的) illness, had dozens of surgeries. Even now I was facing a puzzling condition my doctors hadn’t yet identified. A condition that gave me symptoms similar to the ones Bob’s heart illness gave him. I didn’t want to burden him with my own fears right now. I touched his arm, wondering if I would soon face the same questions. “I sure wasn’t expecting anything like this,” Bob said. “A failing heart. I can’t believe it.”
“I know it’s a shock. But we’re all here for you. You’re so blessed and loved. Your wonderful wife. Kids. Grandkids. More friends than you can count. I never go anywhere that someone isn’t saying something wonderful about your teaching days.”
“Thanks. You always say the sweetest things.” But I heard an “If you say so” in his voice. I tried to reassure Bob about how valuable his life was, but I was trying to convince myself about my own life as well. I’d spent so much of my time trying to help others, both before my retirement as a nurse and now as a storyteller. But the world was full of those. Would anything I’d done really last after I was gone
One day, a housekeeper entered the room with her mop and nodded to Bob in his bed. “Hey, Coach!” she said. “Huh ” Bob said. I could tell he didn’t know who she was. The housekeeper smiled. “I knew it was you. My daughter played on your soccer team. I still remember her reciting all those lines of poetry. She loves poems to this day. What a great effect you have had on her! I should thank you very much.” I was very surprised when hearing these.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I shouted excitedly, “You once coached soccer How great you are!”

The race skywards began in America. In the late1800s, industrialization had driven urban populations and land prices up, making tall buildings increasingly cost-effective, according to Carol Willis, director of the Skyscraper Museum in New York, “The very first tall buildings were office buildings that concentrated a work force, piled one on top of the other in order to make business very efficient, ”she says.
Like all major changes in architecture, the trend was underpinned by engineering. The development of steel framework, which could be used instead of load-bearing stones, made it easier and cheaper to build tall. The coming of the elevator, meanwhile, made living on higher floors far more convenient.
Though similar in shape, today's skyscrapers (摩天大楼) look little like those built in the first half of the 20th century. This is mostly thanks to architecture's next major technological shift：the curtain wall.
Postwar developments in manufacturing meant that huge panes of glass could be produced quickly and uniformly, and glass windows soon became the front of choice for high-rises. As well as allowing for greater floor space and more natural light, glass exteriors (外部) help. buildings resist greater wind loads.
There are now 191 completed skyscrapers that are at least 300 meters tall. But that doesn't mean our cities will grow taller indefinitely. While each additional story adds sellable floor space, construction costs also rise. All buildings reach a point where adding an extra floor will cost more money than it brings.
“Every city wants to have this landmark that gives that sense of distinct culture, ”but it also needs places for people to live and work in urban settings“without the city sprawling (无序扩张), ”explains Hong Kong architect Simon Chan.
The next big challenge facing architects goes beyond height：At a time when buildings and their construction account for more than a third of the world's energy consumption and contribute about 40% of greenhouse gas emissions(排放), there are new costs to consider.
Whether it's employing more energy-efficient materials, encouraging natural air or using buildings themselves to generate solar or wind energy, reducing carbon emissions is the new frontier for many skyscraper architects.
8. What does the underlined word“underpinned” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Created. B. Prepared. C. Suggested. D. Supported.
9. What made living on higher floors much more convenient
A. The development of steel framework. B. Load-bearing stones.
C The use of the elevator. D. The curtain wall.
10. What can we know from paragraph 5
A. Our cities will grow taller definitely.
B. All skyscrapers are at least 300 meters tall.
C. Construction cost rises as the stories increase.
D. The profit for builders will be greater as the building becomes higher.
11. What's the next big challenge facing architects
A. How to build the greenest building. B. How to build the strongest building.
C. How to build the tallest building in the world. D. How to build the most comfortable building.
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. C 11. A
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了制造业，工程的发展支撑了建筑以及未来建筑的发展方向。
【8题详解】
词义猜测题。根据后文“The development of steel framework, which could be used instead of load-bearing stones, made it easier and cheaper to build tall.（钢结构的发展，可以用来代替承重的石头，使建造高楼更容易和更便宜。）”可知，就像建筑的所有主要变化一样，这一趋势是由工程支撑的。所以underpins为“支持、支撑”之意。故选D。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“ The coming of the elevator, meanwhile, made living on higher floors far more convenient.（与此同时，电梯的出现让住在更高楼层的人更加方便。）”可知，是电梯的使用让住在更高的楼层更方便。故选C。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“While each additional story adds sellable floor space, construction costs also rise.（虽然每增加一层楼就会增加可销售的楼面面积，但建筑成本也会上升。）”可知，建筑成本随着楼层的增加而增加。故选C。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“reducing carbon emissions is the new frontier for many skyscraper architects.（减少碳排放是许多摩天大楼建筑师的新前沿。）”可推断，如何建造最舒适的建筑是建筑师面临的下一个大挑战。故选A。
D
During a hurricane, strong winds hit the land. Winds reach speeds of 250 kilometers per hour or more. Some animals including lizards (蜥蜴), may get blown away. But with a good grip (紧抓), others can live through the storm. A new study suggests that such hurricanes can actually help lizards to some degree.
Colin Donihue, a scientist examined lizard species on several Caribbean islands. The process began in 2017, as Donihue was studying lizard populations in Turks and Caicos. A couple of weeks after he and other researchers left there, those islands were hit by hurricanes, first Hurricane Irma and then Hurricane Maria. Returning to the island a year later, he noticed that the populations looked different. The lizards he saw after the hurricanes had larger toe pads than those he’d examined the previous year before the hurricanes. He has looked at 12 island populations of the lizard species Anolis sagrei, and separately analyzed 188 Anolis species with populations that range from Florida to Brazil. He and his team cross-examined the size of their toe pads with the frequency and severity (强度) of Caribbean hurricanes. Over the past 70 years of hurricane data, the result stood out: larger toe pads had a close connection with more serious hurricanes.
The study better explained how evolutionary (进化的) processes are helping species become stronger, even as global climate change threatens their long-term survival. In the past hurricanes simply haven’t been common enough to matter in an evolutionary timeline. But due to climate change, there will be more hurricanes. Some populations can be completely destroyed by hurricanes. But in the case of the lizards Donihue studied, the ones that survived these violent storms were the ones with larger toe pads. And their babies also had similarly large toe pads. That small change in their body tells us how species change as the environment around them changes as well.
12. What did Colin Donihue’s study find
A. Hurricanes had an influence on lizards’ evolution.
B. Many kinds of lizards existed on the Caribbean islands.
C. Hurricanes Irma and Maria caused lizards5 extinction.
D. The lizards on the islands were stronger than others.
13. According to Paragraph 3 lizards with larger toe pads may ________.
A. have a small population B. do well in finding food
C. tend to fight intensely with each other D. be spotted where hurricanes hit hard
14. What can we conclude from the last paragraph
A. Humans must contribute to lizards9 development.
B. Some species become stronger due to climate change.
C. Lizards will be removed from the earth sooner or later.
D. Climate change often brings disadvantages to lizards.
15. What can be the best title for the text
A. The Perfect Place for Lizards to Live B. More Hurricanes Hit the Caribbean Islands
C. Hurricanes Help Lizards Grow Stronger D. Tough Life for Lizards on the Caribbean Islands
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. B 15. C
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了有研究发现飓风会使得一部分动物包括蜥蜴被吹走，但是一些在飓风中幸存下来的蜥蜴他们的趾垫会变得更大，结果表明飓风对蜥蜴的进化有一定的影响。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句“Over the past 70 years of hurricane data, the result stood out: larger toe pads had a close connection with more serious hurricanes.”（过去70多年的飓风数据研究结果很突出地表明，更大的趾垫和更加严重的飓风有关。）可知，研究发现飓风越是厉害，蜥蜴的趾垫会越大。说明飓风影响了蜥蜴趾垫的进化。故选A项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段倒数第三句“But in the case of the lizards Donihue studied, the ones that survived these violent storms were the ones with larger toe pads.”（但是在Donihue研究的蜥蜴案例中，那些在猛烈的暴风雨中幸存下来的蜥蜴往往有更大的趾垫。）可知，那些有较大趾垫的蜥蜴在那些经受巨大飓风的地方会被发现。故选D项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Some populations can be completely destroyed by hurricanes. But in the case of the lizards Donihue studied, the ones that survived these violent storms were the ones with larger toe pads. And their babies also had similarly large toe pads. That small change in their body tells us how species change as the environment around them changes as well.”（有些物种会被飓风完全摧毁。但是在Donihue研究的蜥蜴案例中，那些在猛烈的暴风雨中幸存下来的蜥蜴往往有更大的趾垫。而且他们的幼崽也同样有大的趾垫。他们身体上一些小的变化告诉我们物种是如何随着环境的变化也发生变化的。）可推测，那些没有被气候变化摧毁的物种会变得更加强大来适应这种气候变化。故选B项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。文章首段介绍了研究表明飓风在一定程度上帮助了蜥蜴的发展。第二段研究者们发现，那些在飓风中存或下来的蜥蜴拥有了更大的趾垫。最后一段总结环境变化能让存活下来的物种更加强大。所以短文的最佳标题为“飓风帮助蜥蜴变得更强”。故选C项。

考查时态语态和主谓一致。句意：“幽默”在今天仍以这种方式使用。结合today，且主语“Youmo”和谓语动词use是被动关系，此处表示现在正在被使用，故用现在进行时的被动语态，主语“Youmo”单数，谓语单数形式，故填is being used。
【43题详解】
考查连词。句意：幽默不仅仅是关于笑，而是一种生活方式，一种可以用来照亮世界的工具。连词not...but...(不是……而是……)，故填but。
【44题详解】
考查动词不定式。句意：Lin甚至创造了一个等式来解释这个概念：现实+梦想+幽默=智慧。explain用动词不定式来作目的状语，故填to explain。
【45题详解】
考查动名词。句意：一起分享笑话和欢笑可以使个人甚至社区团结在一起。此处“ ________ (share) jokes and laughing together”作主语，share用动名词形式作主语，首字母大写，故填Sharing。

47. 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。
After retiring from a long career teaching English at Huntington East High School, my brother, Bob, planned to travel the world. Instead, I was visiting him in the hospital where he had undergone a heart operation. He had a long road to recovery ahead.
Bob didn’t have much experience with being a patient. Certainly not as much as I did. He had always been healthy and kept in good shape, working part-time as a volunteer since retirement. I had grown up with chronic (慢性的) illness, had dozens of surgeries. Even now I was facing a puzzling condition my doctors hadn’t yet identified. A condition that gave me symptoms similar to the ones Bob’s heart illness gave him. I didn’t want to burden him with my own fears right now. I touched his arm, wondering if I would soon face the same questions. “I sure wasn’t expecting anything like this,” Bob said. “A failing heart. I can’t believe it.”
“I know it’s a shock. But we’re all here for you. You’re so blessed and loved. Your wonderful wife. Kids. Grandkids. More friends than you can count. I never go anywhere that someone isn’t saying something wonderful about your teaching days.”
“Thanks. You always say the sweetest things.” But I heard an “If you say so” in his voice. I tried to reassure Bob about how valuable his life was, but I was trying to convince myself about my own life as well. I’d spent so much of my time trying to help others, both before my retirement as a nurse and now as a storyteller. But the world was full of those. Would anything I’d done really last after I was gone
One day, a housekeeper entered the room with her mop and nodded to Bob in his bed. “Hey, Coach!” she said. “Huh ” Bob said. I could tell he didn’t know who she was. The housekeeper smiled. “I knew it was you. My daughter played on your soccer team. I still remember her reciting all those lines of poetry. She loves poems to this day. What a great effect you have had on her! I should thank you very much.” I was very surprised when hearing these.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
I shouted excitedly, “You once coached soccer How great you are!” I think of him strictly as an English teacher. “I tried to combine the two pursuits,” Bob said. “I believed in the value of sports but knew few of my students would pursue sports as a career. I wanted to give them something more. Those kids could come up with some great lines. Sometimes a lot better than what I taught them.” He’d had no idea what an impression he’d made on so many. Hid made the world a better place. His on-and-off-the-field poetry lessons had taken on a life of their own.
Both Bob and I got good news from doctors. With the care of the medical staff, Bob was feeling positive about his recovery, he got a quicker recovery than doctors had expected. After staying one month in hospital, he had recovered fully and went home. My medical condition was finally identified. A stomach bleed led to my illness. I also fully recovered, thankfully with no heart damage. My attitude fully recovered as well. I didn’t need to be a famous poet to make a mark on the world.
【解析】
【导语】本文以事件为线索展开，作者的哥哥Bob原计划退休后去环游世界，但因为心脏疾病不得不待在医院里接受治疗。作者从小就患有慢性病，做过很多次手术，现在正面临着一种令人费解的疾病，医生还无法确定这种病。作者不想让自己的恐惧增加Bob的负担，只是在前去医院看望他的时候给予他安慰，讲他的生活充满了幸运和爱，教学生涯也非常成功，同时也在默默地让自己相信生命多么宝贵。一天，一位女士来打扫病房，突然向Bob表示了真诚的感谢，因为他深刻地影响了她的女儿。
【详解】1. 段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“我兴奋地喊道，‘你当过足球教练？你真了不起！’”可知，第一段可描写Bob讲述自己过去为学生做的事情，作者因此产生感想，认为Bob充满了影响力。
②由第二段首句内容“Bob和我都从医生那里得到了好消息。”可知，第二段可描写Bob逐渐康复，作者的病情得以确定，身体也完全康复了。
2. 续写线索：作者的感叹——Bob讲述过去——作者的感想——两人都得到好消息——Bob康复——作者也康复
