The Best National Parks to Visit in Winter
While most parks tend to draw families in the summer and fall, there are also ideal spots for adventurous winter trips.
Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming
The country's oldest and best-known national park takes on an almost otherworldly atmosphere in winter: the air filled with rolling steam, the strong colors of hot springs, the surrounding white landscapes, let alone the impressive wildlife during this time, like bison, wolves, and playful red foxes. Just book a guided hiking tour to get a ranger's perspective on the park and local people.
Joshua Tree National Park, California
With its giant red rocks and unique trees, you'll feel like stepping onto a foreign planet as you spend hours hiking the Panorama Loop or Maze Loop. The park is recognized as an International Dark Sky Park, featuring virtually zero light pollution and the country's best views of a starry sky.
Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona
A significantly lower number of visitors in winter means you can take in unblocked views of the South Rim, and get to see the rare beauty of the Grand Canyon dusted with snow. For those adventurous and daring, it is recommended to hike the Bright Angel Trail and take the chance to see the canyon's wintertime wildlife, including mule deer, elk, and bald eagles.
Virgin Islands National Park, St. John
Surprise! Not all wintertime national park trips need to involve snow. Virgin Islands National Park is most famous for its white-sand beaches. You can also hike inland to visit old sugar plantations, or venture out to the water to swim along with sea turtles and manta rays. You will definitely enjoy a different winter here.
1.Which park will one choose if he/she is interested in stars
A.Yellowstone National Park. B.Joshua Tree National Park.
C.Grand Canyon National Park. D.Virgin Islands National Park.
2.What do we know about the Grand Canyon National Park

B.It lies in an area with rolling steam and hot springs.
C.There is a slight decline in visitor numbers in winter.

In the short time Steve and Zach had been inside their tent packing their tools, wind-blown flame had skipped from the top of one tree to another. The long dry summer had turned the forest into a tinderbox.
"Let's go! We can make it back to the river we crossed today!" Steve kept Brady on the lead and their heads down against the fire-wind. But Brady barked a sharp warning. Ahead of them lay a thick curtain of smoke across the track. They would never make it through that. The dog was pulling at his lead trying to draw them away from the smoke, and yet Steve was uneasy. It seemed to him that they were moving away from the river.
Suddenly, Zach cried. "Zach!" Steve shouted. "Are you OK Where are you " Then Brady pulled Steve down a sharp slope(斜坡). At its base, Zach was rubbing his ankle.
As Steve helped his friend to his feet, Brady lifted his head and snuffed(嗅) the smoke-laden wind. Next moment, the dog bounded away and disappeared. The boys shouted for him, but he didn't come back. Steve couldn't blame Brady for panicking. He himself wanted to run even though he didn't have a clue which way to.
Steve and Zach hadn't gone far when there was a familiar bark, and Brady came bounding, stopped directly in front of Steve and hit him with his head, pushing him back toward the slope they'd just climbed. But Steve didn't get it. Then Brady grabbed the boy's jeans and started pulling. The message was clear, but Steve hesitated. Of course he remembered Brady saving his uncle's life when the dog was much younger. Was he still sharp enough to get them through this
Nearby, a pine went up in a whoosh of smoke. Brady pulled again, urgently. "OK, the big guy," Steve gritted his teeth(咬紧牙关). Brady led them back down the slope and into the trees. Not far from them fire was touching underbrush. Several times the big dog stopped. Often he changed directions. Steve was so tired that he just wanted to rest, but Brady wouldn't have it. The dog bullied both boys into going on. Steve had no idea how long they'd walked. He was almost numb when he heard it—the wonderful sound of rushing water!
1.What happened to Steve and Zach at first
A.They got injured. B.They lost their dog.
C.They were trapped. D.They became separated.
2.Brady ran away to _____.
A.seek help B.find a way out C.rescue Zach D.escape
3.How did Steve feel after Brady pulled his jeans
A.Uneasy. B.Impatient. C.Numb. D.Uncertain.
4.The passage basically describes _____.
A.an adventure B.an exploration C.an escape game D.a training program
C
Why don't we have eyes in the back of our heads There are at least two reasons. Eyes are biologically expensive things to make and rear view (后视) eyes don't fit well into the human evolution (进化).
Even animals, such as rabbits, whose main survival advantage is rear vision, have only the side eyes. Rear vision is not so important. There are other species that have evolved this ability by moving the position of their eyes relative to the rest of their head. Many birds have their eyes positioned towards the side of their head, allowing them a very wide angle of vision and, in the case of some birds such as the woodcock, they are positioned so they can actually achieve 360-degree vision. It is also obvious that spiders, which tend to have many eyes, only have them facing forwards.
Humans, and probably some other animals, do have another adapted sense to make it up. Many experiments showed that sounds behind the head were noticed by a listener more than sounds to the front, especially if a listener was in a dark room. So our ears can make up for the lack of rear-facing vision. You can look at it another way. Rear vision is useful only if the potential threat is visible. During human evolution, that was most often not the case.
Finally, there is often more than one potential “solution" to a given problem. In many species, the answer to maintaining 360 degree awareness of surrounding danger is to rely on many eyes. Social behavior is common in the animal kingdom and one reason for this is that there is safety in numbers. You might be looking the wrong way when a tiger approaches, but if your teammates raise the alarm this is as effective as having eyes in the back of your head.
1.Why do humans have no rear view eyes
A.They are bad for human survival.
B.They are replaced by other organs.
C.They are less likely to spot the danger.
D.They are abandoned by natural selection.
2.What is the purpose of paragraph 2
A.To explain why animals have other functions.
B.To state rear-view eyes aren't a must for survival.
C.To prove rabbits, birds and spiders are very special.
D.To show rear view eyes are against the natural selection.
3.What does the underlined word "that" in paragraph 3 refer to
A.The visible threat behind the head. B.Sensitive hearing.
C.The sound behind the head. D.Rear vision.
4.Where does the text most likely com from
A.A travel brochure. B.A fiction.
C.A science magazine. D.A book review.
D
Goffin's cockatoos, a kind of small parrot native to Australasia, have been shown to have similar shape-recognition abilities to a human two-year-old. Though not known to use tools in the wild, the birds have proved skilful at tool use while kept in the cage. In a recent experiment, cockatoos were presented with a box with a nut inside it. The clear front of the box had a "keyhole" in a geometric shape, and the birds were given five differently shaped "keys" to choose from. Inserting the correct "key" would let out the nut.
In humans, babies can put a round shape in a round hole from around one year of age, but it will be another year before they are able to do the same with less symmetrical (对称的) shapes. This ability to recognize that a shape will need to be turned in a specific direction before it will fit is called an "allocentric frame of reference". In the experiment, Goffin's cockatoos were able to select the right tool for the job, in most cases, by visual recognition alone. Where trial-and-error was used, the cockatoos did better than monkeys in similar tests. This indicates that Goffin's cockatoos do indeed possess an allocentric frame of reference when moving objects in space, similar to two-year-old babies.
The next step, according to the researchers, is to try and work out whether the cockatoos rely entirely on visual clues (线索), or also use a sense of touch in making their shape selections.
1.How did the cockatoos get the nut from the box in the experiment
A. By following instructions. B. By using a tool.
C. By turning the box around. D. By removing the lid.
2.Which task can human one-year-olds most likely complete according to the text
A. Using a key to unlock a door. B. Telling parrots from other birds.
C. Putting a ball into a round hole. D. Grouping toys of different shapes.
3.What does the follow-up test aim to find out about the cockatoos
A. How far they are able to see.
B. How they track moving objects.
C. Whether they are smarter than monkeys.
D. Whether they use a sense of touch in the test.
4.Which can be a suitable title for the text
A. Cockatoos: Quick Error Checkers
B. Cockatoos: Independent Learners
C. Cockatoos: Clever Signal-Readers
D. Cockatoos: Skilful Shape-Sorters

Wednesday night, it was the closing time of the mall. But there was an hour's work, at least, to get everything cleaned up. It would be 11:00 pm before I finally got home. I hadn't even had time to have dinner. I was starving. My feet ached. My whole body, from head to foot, was filled with tiredness. I couldn't wait to go to bed. But it would be only 6 hours before the alarm went off at 5:00 am for my day job.
Things had been tight for over a year. My husband Paul's business had taken a huge hit. I had a full-time job at a day care centre and somehow did my homework for my college class too. Then I had to work nights at the mall. Without me taking my second job, there wouldn't be enough money to pay the bills, let alone buy any New Year presents for my 15-year-old daughter, Marie. No one wanted to wake up on New Year's morning to no presents.
I barely even saw Paul and Marie anymore. Marie was growing up, but a teenage girl still needed her mom. I worried about her. Was she eating enough Keeping up with her school work I wasn't afraid of hard work. Everyone was having to dig deeper these days, putting in extra hours. I knew I was lucky to have two jobs, when millions of people couldn't find one.
How I hoped to quit my job at the day care centre and obtain a full-time degree. I'd dropped down to one class a semester. If I quit that, there was no way I'd find the willpower to try again. Besides, wasn't I always telling Marie to never give up
My mind went back to the conversation I'd had with Marie earlier. Paul had dropped her off at the mall, where she was getting picked up for a babysitting job. "Remember we're going shopping this night," she said, "I'll even have my own money. See you later."
The floor was nearly done. The manager asked me to leave.
Paragraph 1:
I opened the back door of the mall and saw Marie outside with a bag of food, smiling.

Paragraph 2 :
I pulled her tight towards me.

第二节
答案：①is described ②retired ③checking ④that⑤to⑥at⑦who⑧owner⑨ horrible⑩probably
解析：①考查谓语动词。句意：西红柿被描述为甜到“人们一看到它就想拥抱它”的情况并不多见。分析句子可知，空格处是that从句的谓语部分，主语a tomato和动词describe是被动关系，并且上下文的时态是一般现在时，that从句也应该用一般现在时。故填is described。
②考查形容词。句意：这颗心形的西红柿是退休的制刀师罗德·马特里斯种植的。根据空格前的不定冠词a和空格后的knife maker可知，空格处应该填入一个形容词。故填retired。
③考查现在分词。句意：他说，他在检查自己的最新产品时，在自己的温室里发现了这颗西红柿，他很震惊。根据空格前的连词while和所给动词check可知，这儿是考查状语从句的省略，完整句子为：while he was checking _____ his latest produce，从句的主语和主句主语一致，同时用到了be动词，所以可以省略主语和be动词，动词check的逻辑主语是he，而he和check是主动关系，所以要填现在分词。故填checking。
④考查连词。句意：几年前患过心脏病的马特里斯先生对这种水果感到非常惊讶，他决定将其拍卖，并将所得款项捐给英国心脏基金会。根据前面的副词so和句意可知，这儿是考查固定句型“so…that…”。故填that。
⑤考查介词。句意：几年前患过心脏病的马特里斯先生对这种水果感到非常惊讶，他决定将其拍卖，并将所得款项捐给英国心脏基金会。根据前面的动词contribute和句意可知，这儿是考查固定搭配“contribute…to…(把……捐给……)”。故填to。
⑥考查介词。句意：这个2.26盎司重的西红柿在eBay上以16英镑的价格被一名来自威尔士的女子买走，她说她打算把它送给一个特别的人。根据空格后的the price可知，这儿是考查固定搭配“at the price of（以……价格）”。故填at。
⑦考查定语从句。句意：这个2.26盎司重的西红柿在eBay上以16英镑的价格被一名来自威尔士的女子买走，她说她打算把它送给一个特别的人。分析句子可知，空格后的部分是一个非限制性定语从句，先行词是a woman，要填一个关系代词在从句中做主语。故填who。
⑧考查名词。句意：但因为保持番茄的新鲜非常重要，所以马特勒斯先生争分夺秒地赶在番茄变坏之前把它送给了新主人。根据前面的its和形容词new以及句意可知，空格处应该填入一个名词且意义为“主人”。故填owner。
⑨考查形容词。句意：我不想送什么可怕的东西给别人。根据空格前的something和句意可知，空格处应该填入一个形容词修饰something，所以要填horror的形容词形式。故填horrible。
⑩考查副词。句意：我本可以用更多的时间筹集更多的资金，但我很担心。根据句意分析句子可知，空格处应该填入一个副词来修饰谓语动词，所以要用probable的副词形式。故填probably。

第二节
答案：
Paragraph 1:
I opened the back door of the mall and saw Marie outside with a bag of food, smiling. She finished her babysitting job fifteen minutes ago. She figured I didn't have time for dinner, so she bought me food with her own money and waited for me there all the time. While I was eating, she told me that I was her heroine and that she admired everything I did for the family. When she was tired of babysitting, she would think about my hard work and remembered "never gave up".
Paragraph 2:
I pulled her tight towards me. Tomorrow the alarm would still ring at 5:00 am. The bills would still be waiting. There would be more rough days ahead. And yet I was ready to face them together with Paul and Marie, all of us willing to work hard and holding on to each other. Things would get better with the love of a family.
