Sri Lanka is an ideal place for wildlife lovers. Here’s what you’ll find in some of its national parks.
Horton Plains National Park
Drive time from Colombo: Five hours
Towering up in the central highlands, Horton Plains is the highest plateau (高原) of Sri Lanka. The cloud forests here are rich in plants and animals that have been used to to the cooler climates. Birds such as the Sri Lankan whistling thrush and Sri Lankan bush warbler are best seen here.
Minneriya National Park

Thick jungle surrounds lakes and contains many animals, but game viewing is generally poor — except for the wonderful seasonal gathering of elephants. The gathering takes place in Minneriya during September and October.
Yala National Park
Drive time from Colombo: Six hours
Yala is located in the southeast of Sri Lanka. It is famous for the Sri Lankan leopard (豹). In June and July sloth bears (懒熊) are often seen. The beautiful areas also have a lot of birds. Enthusiastic birdwatchers should also visit Bundala National Park (an hour away) or the Palatupana Salt Pans (ten minutes away). Visitors can also go surfing in Arugam Bay (three hours away)
Wilpattu National Park
Drive time from Colombo: Four hours
Wilpattu, Sri Lanka’s largest park, is situated in the dry lowlands of the country’s northwest and has many lakes. The park reopened in 2003 after nearly 15 years of closure. Wilpatu was famous for its leopards. Now visitors also have a chance of seeing barking deer.

Walking along her usual running way through Central Park and the Upper West Side in New York, Barbara Anderson, a teacher, felt the city had become worse. It was June, 2020. Many local shops had closed down and office workers stayed home. On Columbus Avenue, “there were at least two empty stores every block,” recalls Anderson.
Anderson decided to change these closed shops into art galleries (画廊). With the help of her daughter, a teacher and member of a local arts council, Anderson set up a non-profit organization, Art on the Ave, which aimed to exhibit and sell art to passersby. By November 2020, several stores on Columbus Avenue were filled with works by 41 artists.
Her project provides a chance for artists whose works aren’t shown in famous galleries. “Your typical art collector tends not to think about buying art in the street but there are many common people there, and they’re buying,” Anderson says.
So far the organization has worked with 130 artists in around 50 empty spaces across the city. Andrson sys that it has brought about $235,000 for 47 artists (an average of $5,000 each).
In expensive cities around the world, many artists are struggling to pay for studio space, find an agent (代理人) or get support from a gallery that will market and sell their work. Art on the Ave is one of several projects that have appeared to support creative artists with these challenges. Silver Art Projects, a non-profit organization, arranges art residencies in empty offices across New York. Art on the Underground, a public art program in London, has been asking leading artists to create works for the Tube since 2000.
Art on the Ave has headed underground to. Inside the Fulton Center, a shopping center and subway station in Manhattan, a former bakery has been turned into a studio for artists. “Bringing us into these spaces makes people’s life more colorful,” say Amir Diop, who recently exhibited his paintings there. “People are appreciating our art when waiting for their train instead of seeing a blank storefront with nothing in it,” he explains.
4. What inspired Anderson to set up Art on the Ave
A. Her art dream. B. Office workers’ problem.
C. Empty shops. D. Local artists’ works.
5. What can we learn about Art on the Ave
A. It has worked with an increasing number of artists.
B. It has made a great fortune for the local shops.
C. It has attracted a lot of typical art collectors.
D. It has introduced many artists to art agents.
6. Why is Silver Art Projects mentioned
A. To invite more artists to join them.
B. To explain their way to get support.
C. To prove artists are struggling to survive.
D. To show the support to those struggling artists.
7. What does Diop think of his art
A. It can enrich people’s life. B. It is beyond ordinary people.
C. It indirectly changes Manhattan. D. It should be shown underground.

Did you watch the popular TV series Meet Yourself (《去有风的地方》) during your vacation In the TV series, the heroine Xu Hongdou travels to a village in Yunnan provinces and volunteers at a local cafe. She gets free meals in return. As the show find a growing audience, volunteer travel — an old-yet-modern form of travel similar to Xu’s type of work — has attracted more attention.
Volunteer travel refers to taking a trip where all or part of the purpose of the trip is to participate in an arranged service opportunity to help others, according to Wise our, an online provider of tourist information.
During the trip, volunteer travelers often provide services like teaching, cooking, animal caring, and cultural activities. In exchange for their help, the volunteers may get free or discounted accommodation (住宿), meals and laundry (洗衣服务), activities, or classes.
It seems as if these long journeys could only be made possible in recent years by modern transportation. Nevertheless, volunteer ravel dates back to the 1960s, when Ale Dickson and his wife Mora from the UK founded Voluntary Service Overseas (VSO), an international volunteer organization.
Traditionally, the volunteer activities take place in a foreign country. However, just as what Meet Yourself shows, more volunteer trips have taken place within the same countries or places in recent years. Sanlian Lifeweek magazine said that volunteer projects in rural (农村的) areas are now attracting more city visitors as a break from the fast and stressful pace of city living. Yang Yan, a founder of a volunteer platform, told the magazine that it has indeed been a growing trend (趋势) for city workers to volunteer in rural areas.
By working voluntarily while traveling, city workers can get a taste of rural life. For those who are sick of city pressure but can’t make up their minds whether to move forever to the countryside, volunteer travel can be a solution. In this way, as Yang says, travelers can catch some relaxation from their busy lives, while rural communities also benefit by receiving more customers for local tourism industries.
8. What’s the function of the first paragraph
A. To introduce a new way of travel.
B. To lead to the topic of volunteer travel.
C. To show the popularity of this TV series.
D. To raise readers’ interest in the TV series.
9. What can we learn about volunteer travel
A. It requires travelers to be highly educated.
B. It can date back to the 19th century in the UK.
C. It helps travelers earn money on their volunteer trips.
D. It combines travel with meaningful work to help others.
10. What is the second-to-last paragraph mainly about
A. A new trend of volunteer trips. B. The importance of volunteer trips.
C. Different views on volunteer trips. D. The development of volunteer trips.
11. Why are more city workers attracted by volunteer projects
A. To get into shape. B. To give back to society.
C. To get away from city life. D. To support the rural tourism.
D
Mosquitoes (蚊子) carry malaria (疟疾), which kills thousands of people each year. Now some researchers are trying to use genetic engineering (基因工程) to make them into partners in the fight against the disease.
For years, public health officials have tried to limit the disease by controlling mosquito populations. “But that approach is short-term,” says Anthony James, a professor of biology and genetics at the University of California, Irvine, “because mosquitoes are very tough little insects, and their populations can quickly increase.”
Therefore, James and his colleagues want to try a different approach: making mosquitoes themselves into malaria-fighting warriors (勇士), which is completely different from traditional ways of controlling malaria.
To understand how it works, it helps to understand the life cycle of malaria. The malaria pathogen (病原体) is a parasite (寄生虫) that grow inside humans. It’s passed via mosquitoes that move from person to person, sucking blood. “If we can make the mosquitoes difficult for the pathogens to survive, we can wipe out the disease,” he says. But making mosquitoes uninviting to malaria is a Herculean task.
To solve the problem, the team used a gene-editing technique called CRISPR. They stated with genes from mice, whose immune systems (免疫系统) do fight human malaria, engineered those genes, and then gave them to the mosquitoes.
It turned out the gene-edited mosquitoes worked very well. They reduced the number of parasites in the mosquito before they were passed to a human host.
James’ team are now working on planning a field trial, which he hopes could be done on an island or in another isolated location.
But genetically changing wild animals does not sit well with environmentalists. “There’s no need to engineer a mosquito,” says Dana Perls, senior program manager for the emerging technology program at the non-profit Friends of the Earth. Perls points out that natural ways to reduce malaria appear to be showing promise, as does a new vaccine (疫苗) against the disease. “Why take unnecessary risks and use mosquitoes that can’t be controlled once sent into the wild ” she asks.
12. What can we know from the second and third paragraphs
A. Mosquitoes can reproduce quickly.
B. Mosquitoes can be easily controlled.
C. Mosquitoes have killed thousands of people.
D. Mosquitoes have been used to fight against malaria.
13. What does the underlined phrase “a Herculean task” in Para. 4 mean
A. A great comfort. B. A tough job. C. A narrow escape. D. A key factor.
14. What is environmentalists’ attitude towards this new approach
A. Unconcerned B. Supporting. C. Negative. D. Positive
15. What is the best title for the text
A Preventing Malaria with a New Vaccine
B. Curing Malaria with Gene-edited Mosquitoes
C. Limiting Malaria by Controlling Mosquito Populations
D. Controlling Malaria by Engineering Mosquitoes’ Genes

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了斯里兰卡的一些国家公园，每个公园都有其独特的生态环境和特色动物，吸引着野生动物爱好者和游客前来观赏。
【1题详解】

Walking along her usual running way through Central Park and the Upper West Side in New York, Barbara Anderson, a teacher, felt the city had become worse. It was June, 2020. Many local shops had closed down and office workers stayed home. On Columbus Avenue, “there were at least two empty stores every block,” recalls Anderson.
Anderson decided to change these closed shops into art galleries (画廊). With the help of her daughter, a teacher and member of a local arts council, Anderson set up a non-profit organization, Art on the Ave, which aimed to exhibit and sell art to passersby. By November 2020, several stores on Columbus Avenue were filled with works by 41 artists.
Her project provides a chance for artists whose works aren’t shown in famous galleries. “Your typical art collector tends not to think about buying art in the street but there are many common people there, and they’re buying,” Anderson says.
So far the organization has worked with 130 artists in around 50 empty spaces across the city. Andrson sys that it has brought about $235,000 for 47 artists (an average of $5,000 each).
In expensive cities around the world, many artists are struggling to pay for studio space, find an agent (代理人) or get support from a gallery that will market and sell their work. Art on the Ave is one of several projects that have appeared to support creative artists with these challenges. Silver Art Projects, a non-profit organization, arranges art residencies in empty offices across New York. Art on the Underground, a public art program in London, has been asking leading artists to create works for the Tube since 2000.
Art on the Ave has headed underground to. Inside the Fulton Center, a shopping center and subway station in Manhattan, a former bakery has been turned into a studio for artists. “Bringing us into these spaces makes people’s life more colorful,” say Amir Diop, who recently exhibited his paintings there. “People are appreciating our art when waiting for their train instead of seeing a blank storefront with nothing in it,” he explains.
4. What inspired Anderson to set up Art on the Ave
A. Her art dream. B. Office workers’ problem.
C. Empty shops. D. Local artists’ works.
5. What can we learn about Art on the Ave
A. It has worked with an increasing number of artists.
B. It has made a great fortune for the local shops.
C. It has attracted a lot of typical art collectors.
D. It has introduced many artists to art agents.
6. Why is Silver Art Projects mentioned
A. To invite more artists to join them.
B. To explain their way to get support.
C. To prove artists are struggling to survive.
D. To show the support to those struggling artists.
7. What does Diop think of his art
A. It can enrich people’s life. B. It is beyond ordinary people.
C. It indirectly changes Manhattan. D. It should be shown underground.
【答案】4. C 5. A 6. D 7. A

Did you watch the popular TV series Meet Yourself (《去有风的地方》) during your vacation In the TV series, the heroine Xu Hongdou travels to a village in Yunnan provinces and volunteers at a local cafe. She gets free meals in return. As the show find a growing audience, volunteer travel — an old-yet-modern form of travel similar to Xu’s type of work — has attracted more attention.
Volunteer travel refers to taking a trip where all or part of the purpose of the trip is to participate in an arranged service opportunity to help others, according to Wise our, an online provider of tourist information.
During the trip, volunteer travelers often provide services like teaching, cooking, animal caring, and cultural activities. In exchange for their help, the volunteers may get free or discounted accommodation (住宿), meals and laundry (洗衣服务), activities, or classes.
It seems as if these long journeys could only be made possible in recent years by modern transportation. Nevertheless, volunteer ravel dates back to the 1960s, when Ale Dickson and his wife Mora from the UK founded Voluntary Service Overseas (VSO), an international volunteer organization.
Traditionally, the volunteer activities take place in a foreign country. However, just as what Meet Yourself shows, more volunteer trips have taken place within the same countries or places in recent years. Sanlian Lifeweek magazine said that volunteer projects in rural (农村的) areas are now attracting more city visitors as a break from the fast and stressful pace of city living. Yang Yan, a founder of a volunteer platform, told the magazine that it has indeed been a growing trend (趋势) for city workers to volunteer in rural areas.
By working voluntarily while traveling, city workers can get a taste of rural life. For those who are sick of city pressure but can’t make up their minds whether to move forever to the countryside, volunteer travel can be a solution. In this way, as Yang says, travelers can catch some relaxation from their busy lives, while rural communities also benefit by receiving more customers for local tourism industries.

Mosquitoes (蚊子) carry malaria (疟疾), which kills thousands of people each year. Now some researchers are trying to use genetic engineering (基因工程) to make them into partners in the fight against the disease.
For years, public health officials have tried to limit the disease by controlling mosquito populations. “But that approach is short-term,” says Anthony James, a professor of biology and genetics at the University of California, Irvine, “because mosquitoes are very tough little insects, and their populations can quickly increase.”
Therefore, James and his colleagues want to try a different approach: making mosquitoes themselves into malaria-fighting warriors (勇士), which is completely different from traditional ways of controlling malaria.
To understand how it works, it helps to understand the life cycle of malaria. The malaria pathogen (病原体) is a parasite (寄生虫) that grow inside humans. It’s passed via mosquitoes that move from person to person, sucking blood. “If we can make the mosquitoes difficult for the pathogens to survive, we can wipe out the disease,” he says. But making mosquitoes uninviting to malaria is a Herculean task.
To solve the problem, the team used a gene-editing technique called CRISPR. They stated with genes from mice, whose immune systems (免疫系统) do fight human malaria, engineered those genes, and then gave them to the mosquitoes.
It turned out the gene-edited mosquitoes worked very well. They reduced the number of parasites in the mosquito before they were passed to a human host.
James’ team are now working on planning a field trial, which he hopes could be done on an island or in another isolated location.
But genetically changing wild animals does not sit well with environmentalists. “There’s no need to engineer a mosquito,” says Dana Perls, senior program manager for the emerging technology program at the non-profit Friends of the Earth. Perls points out that natural ways to reduce malaria appear to be showing promise, as does a new vaccine (疫苗) against the disease. “Why take unnecessary risks and use mosquitoes that can’t be controlled once sent into the wild ” she asks.
12. What can we know from the second and third paragraphs
A. Mosquitoes can reproduce quickly.
B. Mosquitoes can be easily controlled.
C. Mosquitoes have killed thousands of people.
D. Mosquitoes have been used to fight against malaria.
13. What does the underlined phrase “a Herculean task” in Para. 4 mean
A. A great comfort. B. A tough job. C. A narrow escape. D. A key factor.
14. What is environmentalists’ attitude towards this new approach
A. Unconcerned B. Supporting. C. Negative. D. Positive
15. What is the best title for the text
A. Preventing Malaria with a New Vaccine
B. Curing Malaria with Gene-edited Mosquitoes

36. Teens who try to copy the looks of their favourite stars will only end up __________ (feel) worse about themselves.(所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】feeling
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：试图模仿自己喜欢的明星的青少年只会让自己感觉更糟。此处为短语end up doing sth，动名词作宾语。故填feeling。
37. CGI has been __________ (frequent) used in film-making as a special effects technology. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】frequently
【解析】
【详解】考查副词。句意：CGI作为一种特效技术在电影制作中被频繁使用。修饰动词，用副词形式。frequent的副词形式为frequently，表示“频繁地”。根据句意，故填frequently。
38. Practising tai chi has inspired me __________ (explore) the Chinese culture behind it. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】to explore
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：练太极激发了我探索太极拳背后的中国文化。inspire sb. to do sth.激发某人做某事。根据句意，故填to explore。
39. With these requirements of tai chi in mind, I found to my __________ (satisfy) that my balance and flexibility slowly improved. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】satisfaction
【解析】
【详解】考查名词。句意：考虑到太极的这些要求，我满意地发现我的平衡和灵活性慢慢地提高了。空前是形容词性物主代词，所以空处应填名词作宾语，satisfy的名词形式是satisfaction，不可数名词，to one's satisfaction“令某人满意的是”。故填satisfaction。
40. Usually, the football coach as well as his team members __________ (interview) for their performance shortly after the match. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】is interviewed
【解析】
【详解】考查时态和语态。句意：通常，足球教练和他的队员们在比赛结束后不久就会因为他们的表现而接受采访。根据时间状语Usually 可知，用一般现在时。as well as 连接两个主语时，谓语动词应该与前面的主语保持一致，即与 the football coach 保持一致，使用第三人称单数形式。主语the football coach与interview之间为被动关系，所以用被动语态。故填is interviewed。
41. I was so caught up in the party fever __________ I hardly noticed five hours fly by.(用适当的词填空)
【答案】that
【解析】
【详解】考查状语从句。句意：我沉浸在聚会的狂热中，几乎没有注意到五个小时飞快地过去了。so... that... 意为“如此/这么……以致于……”，句型中的so是副词，常常用来修饰形容词或副词，常用句型为：主语+谓语+so+adj. / adv. + that从句，that引导结果状语从句。故填that。
42. __________ an IQ of 75, Forrest Gump lives a truly amazing life. (用适当的词填空)
【答案】Despite
【解析】
【详解】考查介词。句意：尽管阿甘的智商只有75，但他的生活确实令人惊叹。名词an IQ 前用介词形式。结合句意，用despite，表示“尽管”之意。故填Despite。
43. The film you see is the product of a huge amount of hard work, most of __________ takes place behind the scenes. (用适当的词填空)
【答案】which
【解析】
【详解】考查非限制性定语从句。句意：你在银幕上看到的这部电影是大量艰苦工作的产物，其中大部分工作都是在幕后进行的。分析句子结构，此句为非限制性定语从句。先行词a huge amount of hard work在从句作of的宾语，用关系代词which引导。故填which。
44. Although they have made some improvement, so far no basketball court __________ (build). (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】has been built
【解析】
【详解】考查时态和语态。句意：虽然他们做了一些改进，但到目前为止还没有建篮球场。根据时间状语so far 可知，用现在完成时。主语no basketball court 为单数，与build之间为被动关系，所以用被动语态。根据句意，故填has been built。

Inner beauty is the most precious thing, and a beautiful appearance will fade away over time, but inner beauty will not.
【解析】
【详解】考查短语、时态和定语从句。“现在”翻译为nowadays，在句中作时间状语，陈述现在事实，用一般现在时。“许多年轻人”翻译为many young people；“关注”用短语pay attention to；“非常”用短语a lot of；“自己的外表”翻译为their appearance；指代前面的一件事，用关系代词which引导非限定性定语从句；“让某人想起某事”用短语remind sb. of sth.；“在某人看来”用短语in one’s opinion；“与……无关”用短语have nothing to do with；“内在美”翻译为inner beauty；“才能让人耀眼”翻译为can make people shine；“让他们的外表完美”用“make+宾语+形容词”结构，翻译为make their appearance perfect；“通过科技”翻译为through technology；“得到”用动词obtain，与主语inner beauty之间为被动关系，所以用被动语态；“内在美是最宝贵的东西”翻译为Inner beauty is the most precious thing，用形容词最高级形式；“美丽的外表”翻译为beautiful appearance；“随着时间”用短语over time；“消逝”翻译为fade away；陈述将要发生的事情，用一般将来时。故翻译为Nowadays, many young people pay a lot of attention to their appearance, which reminds me of a lot of things. In my opinion, true beauty has nothing to do with perfect appearance, and only inner beauty can make people shine. People can make their appearance perfect through technology, but inner beauty cannot be obtained through technology.

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Last week, I was invited to a traditional Chinese wedding, where I witnessed the Jieqin process. Early in the morning, the groom, dressed in formal attire, arrived at the bride’s home. Meanwhile, the bride, wearing traditional Xiuhe clothing, sat on the bed, waiting for the groom’s arrival. Throughout the entire Jieqin process, the groom had to pass a series of challenges and tests to demonstrate his love and sincerity before finally successfully bringing the bride back home.
【解析】
【详解】考查短语、时态、非谓语动词和定语从句。“上周”翻译为last week，在句中作时间状语，所以全文用一般过去时。“受邀”翻译为be invited to；“传统的中国婚礼”翻译为traditional Chinese wedding，后用非限定性定语从句，先行词为traditional Chinese wedding，在非限定性定语从句中作地点状语，所以用关系副词where引导。“目睹”用动词witness，为及物动词。“一大早”翻译为early in the morning；“穿着……”用短语be dressed in，在句中作定语，所以用过去分词形式；“正装”翻译为formal attire；“来到，到达”用短语arrive at；“与此同时”用副词meanwhile；“新娘”翻译为bride，“穿着传统的秀和服”翻译为wear traditional Xiuhe clothing，在句中作定语，与主语bride之间为主动关系，所以用现在分词形式。“等待”用短语wait for；“在整个接亲过程中”翻译为throughout the entire Jieqin process；“一系列”翻译为a series of，后接可数名词的复数形式；“挑战和考验”翻译为challenge and test，后接不定式作目的状语；“展示他的爱和真诚”翻译为demonstrate his love and sincerity；“把……带回家”用短语bring…back home。介词before后接动名词形式。故翻译为Last week, I was invited to a traditional Chinese wedding, where I witnessed the Jieqin process. Early in the morning, the groom, dressed in formal attire, arrived at the bride’s home. Meanwhile, the bride, wearing traditional Xiuhe clothing, sat on the bed, waiting for the groom’s arrival.
