Driving on up to Yosemite with my family was exciting but nerve-racking(神经紧张的).I had never been to such an amazing national park before,yet I wasn’t the most athletic person,so I knew that I couldn’t stick through all the hiking up and down.It actually ended up being a fun and adventurous experience.
The ride there was definitely long but worth it.As I woke up from my nap,I saw the beautiful scenery of the tall mountains and beautiful streams.The trails were made nicely for visitors.The waterfalls were breathtaking.Climbing up rocks was one of my favourite parts.Even though I fell a couple of times,I still had a lot of fun.The fact that my family and I spent so much time together trying to find out which route to take and what views to watch really brought us closer together.
The great thing about nature is that,it’s just you,the views,and the people around you.There’s nothing there to bother you and it’s the best way to relax and enjoy yourself.Yosemite has 5 of the world’s highest waterfalls,and about 300 lakes.The structure of each mountain is incredible;it’s formed in ways that almost take your breath away.Some of them are of a deep dark colour with waterfalls forming;some are formed with spots of green peeking(窥探) out.It’s definitely something you wouldn’t want to miss.
Yosemite isn’t the only great National Park but based on my experience,I highly recommend going out and enjoying nature with family and friends.It’s a great time to bond,laugh,and take in what Mother Nature offers.

Conifers (针叶树) are generally better than broad-leaved trees at purifying air from pollutants.But deciduous (落叶的) trees may be better at taking in particle-bound pollution.A new study led by the University of Gothenburg shows that the best trees for air purification depend on the type of pollutants involved.
Trees and other greener in cities provide many benefits that are important for the well-being of residents.Leaves and needles on trees filter air pollutants and reduce exposure to poisonous substance in the air.But which trees purify the air most effectively Researchers from the University of Gothenburg have collected leaves and needles from eleven different trees growing in the same place in the Gothenburg Botanical Garden (GBG) to analyse which substances they have absorbed.
“This tree collection provided a unique opportunity to test many different species of trees with similar environmental conditions and exposure to air pollutants,” said Jenny Klingberg,a researcher of the GBG.
A total of 32 different pollutants were analysed,some of which are bound to articles of various sizes.Others are gaseous.This project has focused on PAHs (多环芳烃).In cities,traffic is the biggest source of these pollutants,which are released due to incomplete burning in engines.
“Our analysis show that different species of trees have different abilities to absorb air pollutants.Conifers generally absorb more gaseous paths than broad-leaved trees.Another advantage of conifers is that they also act as air purifies in winter,when air pollution is usually at its highest,” said Jenny Klingberg.
“This study contributes to improving our understanding of the ability of trees to clean the air and which species are best at absorbing air pollutants,” said Jenny Klingberg.This known-edge is important for urban planning when designing sustainable cities.While trees and greenery can contribute to better air quality in cities,at the end of the day,the most important measure is to reduce emissions.
8.Which is the determining factor in choosing the most suitable tries to purify air
A.Air quality.
B.Geographical location.
C.The height of plants.
D.The kind of pollutants.
9.Why did the researchers collect leaves and needles from GBG
A.To compare their shapes.
B.To create a tree collection.
C.To figure out what they absorb.
D.To display them on exhibition.
10.What may cause more PAHs to be released
A.Fuel vehicle’s. B.Electric engines.
C.Traffic accidents. D.Complete burning.
11.What is the most effective way to better air quality in cities
A.Decreasing emissions.
B.Planting more conifers.
C.Raising public awareness.
D.Designing sustainable cities.

Sports can help you keep fit and get in touch with nature.However,whether you are on the mountains,in the waves,or on the grassland,you should be aware that your sport of choice might have great influence on the environment.
Some sports are resource-hungry.Golf,as you may know,eats up not only large areas of countryside,but also tons of water.Besides,all sorts of chemicals and huge amounts of energy are used to keep its courses (球场) in good condition.This causes major environmental effects.For example,in the dry regions of Portugal and Spain,golf is often held responsible for serious water shortages in some local areas.
There are many environment-friendly sports.Power walking is one of them that you could take up today.You don’t need any special equipment except a good pair of shoes;and you don’t have to worry about resources and your purse.Simple and free,power walking can also keep you fit.If you walk regularly,it will be good for your heart and bones.Experts say that 20 minutes of power walking daily can make you feel less anxious,sleep well and have better weight control.
Whatever sport you take up,you can make it greener by using environment-friendly equipment and buying products made from recycled materials.But the final goal should be “green gyms”.They are better replacements for traditional health clubs and modern sports centres.Members of green gyms play sports outdoors,in the countryside or other open spaces.There is no special requirement for you to start your membership.And best of all,it’s free.
12.Which of the following is the author most probably in favour of
A.Cycling around a lake.
B.Motor racing in the desert.
C.Playing basketball in a gym.
D.Swimming in a sports centre.
13.What do we know about golf from the passage
A.It is popular in Portugal and Spain.
B.It causes water shortages around the world.
C.It pollutes the earth with chemicals and wastes.
D.It needs water and electricity to keep its courses green.
14.The author uses power walking as an example mainly because 　　　.
A.it is an outdoor sport
B.it improves our health
C.it uses fewer resources
D.it is recommended by experts
15.Why did the author write the passage
A.To show us the function of major sports.
B.To encourage us to go in for green sports.
C.To discuss the major influence of popular sports.
D.To introduce different types of environment-friendly sports.
Ⅱ.七选五
Can you tell the difference between a glass of regular and diet soda No,you can’t.　1　.That’s where the trouble starts.Until recently,everything we have eaten contains some amount of calories.
So when we drink diet soda,the sweetness tricks our body into thinking it’s real sugar but when those energypacked calories don’t arrive,the insulin in our brain has nothing to store.
　2　.It’s called metabolic syndrome,which is a mix of conditions that include increased blood pressure,high blood sugar and weight gain which can increase the risk of diabetes,heart disease and strokes.
While drinking diet soda with the meal may sound like a tasty calorie-free alternative to plain water,this may be the worst time to drink it because the cheating calories in the diet soda could finally destroy the real calories we metabolize.　3　.
Another problem could be the fact that artificial sweeteners in diet soda can be 10 to 100 times sweeter than sugar.　4　.It’s like when you go to a party expecting loads of food and you end up with a handful of vegetables.You’re left unsatisfied and hungry.
In the same way,artificial sweeteners can leave our brains wanting more,which leads to increased appetite and potential weight gain.　5　,maybe just stick to water.
A.As it turns out,neither can your body
B.No,this was diet soda and it was awesome
C.When you go to a party
D.Drinking diet soda is associated with a disease
E.So if you’re drinking diet soda to drop a few pounds
F.And it potentially leaves extra calories behind which we then store as fat
G.So when we taste it,our brains expect more calories than what we give it
