Four novels recommended to readers
Bee Season: A novel by Myla Goldvberg

But when Eliza takes the lead in school and district spelling bee competitions, Saul takes it as a sign that she is sure to be of greatness.
The Worlds We Think We Know: Stories by Dalia Rosenfeld
Very funny, this collection of stories takes readers from the United States to Israel and back again to examine the secret reaches of our own minds and hearts. The characters in the book are influenced by the forces beyond their control—war, adulthood, family.
At the End of the World, Turn Left by Zhanna Slor
This is a novel from an unforgettable new voice. It is a story about how you see “home”. Masha remembers her childhood in the former USSR, but found her life and heart in Israel. Anna was just a baby when her family left Israel, but wants to find her roots.
Everything Is Illuminated by Jonathan Safran
With only a yellowing photo in hand, a young man named Jonathan Safran Foer sets out to find the woman who might or might not have saved his grandfather from the Nazis.

My granddad often helped me make a tool to catch fish when I was young and we would spend hours along a river. It was lovely for both of us then. Many more of today’s grandparents have a growing sense of adventure. And a trend is catching on: skip-gen travel — grandparents taking fun-filled vacations with grand kids without their parents along.
A survey found that 83% of grandparents put travel with their grand kids as the number one thing when they retire. Skip-gen travel gets popular for good reason. Kids have their lives enriched and learn outside classrooms. This is also a time of talking and sharing ideas.
“How grandparents talk to children is different from how parents talk to them. Actually, I feel on a more equal footing with my grandchildren than I do with my own children,” Annie Collins, a travel architect and also part of the trend, says. “Kids away from their parents are more open to ideas and willing to express themselves. It’s not just kids gaining from traveling. Who gets the most out of this You might think it’s them but it’s us.” According to a study by the Cleveland Clinic, grandparents who help watch and spend time with grand kids may actually live longer than their peers（同龄人）.
It’s also important to recognize that grandparents often have more time to travel. Unlike their children, who may still be in the pursuit of a personal career that offers limited time off, grandparents are often retired and likely have a different viewpoint on life, prioritizing experiences and family. So knowing the kids are in great hands, moms and dads will have a bit of time to themselves — some much-needed leisure time alone to rest and recharge their batteries.
However, skip-gen travel is not for every grandparent. After all, grandparents are worn out with years and not so energetic. They surely treasure the chance to form close ties with their grandchildren, but it’s wiser to say no when only the youth could enjoy themselves, for the travel should be a win for everyone involved.
4 Why does the author mention fishing experiences with his granddad
A. To lead in the trend of skip-gen travel. B. To share the pleasure in going fishing.
C. To stress the importance of family ties. D. To show the growing interest in adventure.
5. Which of the following may Annie Collins agree
A. Many parents are too strict with children.
B. Grandparents benefit more from skip-gen travel.
C. Spending time with grandparents is better for kids.
D. Children become mature when away from parents.
6. What do we know about the parents whose kids are on skip-gen travel
A. They enjoy the moment to relax. B. They feel less anxious and stressed.
C. They miss their kids very much. D. They look forward to their own trip.
7. What does the author suggest grandparents do
A. Get kids involved in travel planning. B. Strengthen the bond with grandchildren.
C. Reduce skip-gen travel appropriately. D. Make decisions in both sides’ interests.
【答案】4. A 5. B 6. A 7. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。随着越来越多祖父母冒险意识的增强，跨代旅游开始流行起来。研究发现，跨代旅游对祖父母、父母以及孩子均大有裨益。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段的“My granddad often helped me make a tool to catch fish when I was young and we would spend hours along a river. It was lovely for both of us then. Many more of today's grandparents have a growing sense of adventure. And a trend is catching on: skip-gen travel（我小的时候，爷爷经常帮我做一个捕鱼的工具，我们会在河边呆上几个小时。那时候对我们俩来说都很美好。如今，越来越多的祖父母有了一种越来越强烈的冒险意识。一种趋势正在兴起：跨代旅行）”可知，作者提到自己小时候与爷爷一起抓鱼的经历是为了引出如今祖父母辈与孙辈之间新的相处模式，即跨代旅游。故选A。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段的“Actually, I feel on a more equal footing with my grandchildren than I do with my own children（事实上，我觉得我和我的孙辈比我和我自己的孩子更平等）”以及“It’s not just kids gaining from traveling.Who gets the most out of this You might think it's them but it's us（这不仅仅是孩子们从旅行中获得的。谁能从中获益最多？你可能认为是他们，但其实是我们）”可以推断出，身为祖母和跨代旅游的实践者，Annie Collins认为祖父母辈从跨代旅游中受益更多。故选B。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段的“So knowing the kids are in great hands, moms and dads will have a bit of time to themselves- some much-needed leisure time alone to rest and recharge their batteries（所以知道孩子们被照顾得很好，父母们就会有一些属于他们自己的时间——一些他们急需的闲暇时间来休息和充电）”可知，当孩子与祖父母外出旅游时，父母也能拥有自己的休闲时间，用来放松和休整。故选A。
【7题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段的“They surely treasure the chance to form close ties with their grandchildren, but it's wiser to say no when only the youth could enjoy themselves, for the travel should be a win for everyone involved（他们肯定会珍惜这个与孙辈建立亲密关系的机会，但当只有年轻人可以享受时，明智的做法是说不，因为这趟旅行对参与其中的每个人都应该是一个胜利）”可知，作者认为跨代旅游应该是一件双赢的事，只有对祖父母和孩子都有利时才应进行，由此可知，作者建议祖父母做有利于双方利益的决定。故选D。
C
Getting old might not be something that's yet to cross your mind. But aging is going to defeat us one day, so it's something we'd all like to control.
It would be great to have a long, healthy and happy life, and that's why scientists are constantly seeking out what we need to do to achieve it. We all know that regular exercise is good for us. But the latest piece of research might put a spring in your step if you're someone who walks at a fast pace. That's because the speed at which people walk in their 40s is a sign of how much their brains and their bodies are aging.
The BBC's Philippa Roxby writes that tests on 1,000 people found that slower walkers tended to show signs of "accelerated aging”. Their lungs, teeth and immune systems were in worse shape than those walking faster. The study also found not only did slower walkers bodies age more quickly, their faces looked older and they had smaller brains.
This might be seen as a wake-up call for people with a slower pace to work out and get fitter. But it might be too late； researchers say they were able to predict the walking speed of 45-year-olds using the results of intelligence, language and motor (运动)skills tests from when they were aged three. They also suggest that even in early life, there are signs showing which people will have a healthier life.
So, what's the point of knowing that a slower walking pace might mean a smaller brain Researchers say measuring walking speed at a younger age and understanding what this might mean could be a way of testing treatments to slow human aging.
8. Why do scientists keep on studying
A. To help people live a better life. B. To achieve their goals.
C. To find ways to stop aging. D. To find out who can live longer.
9. How did the researchers get the result
A. By analyzing data. B. By doing experiments int he lab.
C. By doing surveys. D. By carrying out tests on people.
10. The findings can be used to .
A. treat certain illnesses B. find ways to slow aging
C. make people work harder D. urge people to walk slowly
11. Where is the text most likely from
A. A diary. B. A guidebook.
C. A novel. D. A magazine.
【答案】8. A 9. D 10. B 11. D
【解析】

【9题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第三段第一句The BBC’s Philippa Roxby writes that tests on 1,000 people found that slower walkers tended to show signs of “accelerated aging”. BBC 的Philippa Roxby 写道，对1000人的测试发现，走得慢的人往往表现出“加速衰老”的迹象。可知科学家们是通过在不同的人身上测试得出的结论。选项D符合题意。故选D。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。由文章最后一段第二句Researchers say measuring walking speed at a younger age, and understanding what this might mean, could be a way of testing treatments to slow human aging. 研究人员说，测量年轻人的步行速度，并理解这可能意味着什么，可能是测试延缓人类衰老的治疗方法的一种方法。可推知，我们可以用这些发现来找到延缓衰老的方法。选项B符合题意。故选B。

A flood hit Yellowstone National Park on June 13, 2022. The disaster was caused by a combination of unusually heavy rains and rapid snow melt. The high and fast water flows destroyed bridges and swept away entire roadways, leaving communities and homes isolated. Fortunately, the approximately 10,000 park visitors were safely evacuated.
The town of Gardiner, along the Montana-Wyoming border, was particularly hard hit. The floodwaters left almost 900 people with no power or water for many days. Gardiner’s economy, which depends on the almost three-quarters of a million visitors who pass through the park’s north gate annually, is likely to take a hit. The floodwaters severely damaged the main north entrance road to Yellowstone, and could take years to rebuild.
Park officials have begun work on improving an alternative road to Gardiner. This will ensure that locals can access food, supplies, and other essential emergency services. A limited number of tourists may also be allowed into Gardiner once the road is stable.
Yellowstone’s north gate is closed indefinitely. But the park’s south gate opened to visitors on June 22, 2022. Park officials have started a new entry system to prevent overcrowding. It is based on the last number of the visitor’s vehicle license plate and the calendar date of the month. Cars with odd (奇数的) numbers can visit the park on odd days of the month, while those with even (偶数的) numbers can go on even days.
Established in 1872, Yellowstone is America’s oldest national park. The 3,472-square-mile reserve spans three states and is home to many unique wildlife. It is known for its natural beauty that includes mountains, rivers and lakes. The forces of fire and ice shaped the park over thousands of years.
12. What does the underlined word “isolated” in paragraph 1 probably mean
A. Tracked. B. Separated.
C. Decorated. D. Improved.
13. What was the possible result of the flood
A. Gardiner’s economy would get into trouble.
B. Communities and homes were left in ruins.
C. Almost 900 people were trapped in the park.
D. The park’s south gate was closed for a while.
14. What can be inferred from the text
A. Local people can get daily necessities from visitors.
B. The park has adopted a new system to recognize faces.
C. The license plate number decides when cars enter the park.
D. More tourists may flood into the park for geological features.
15. Which of the following statements is true according to the text
A. Flooding has caused widespread damage in the US.
B. Yellowstone National Park is closed due to flooding.
C. People can visit Yellowstone National Park any day.
D. Natural beauty makes Yellowstone famous.
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. C 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。2022年6月13日，黄石国家公园遭遇洪水袭击。文章介绍了此次洪水袭击带来的一系列影响和官方所采取的应对措施。
【12题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线单词前的部分“The high and fast water flows destroyed bridges and swept away entire roadways(高而快速的水流摧毁了桥梁，冲走了整条道路)”可知，桥梁和道路被摧毁了，所以，社区之间肯定是孤立的，划线单词isolated意义为“孤立的”。故选B项。
13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段句子“The floodwaters left almost 900 people with no power or water for many days. Gardiner’s economy, which depends on the almost three-quarters of a million visitors who pass through the park’s north gate annually, is likely to take a hit. The floodwaters severely damaged the main north entrance road to Yellowstone, and could take years to rebuild.（洪水造成近900人数日无电无水。加德纳的经济依赖于每年通过公园北门的近75万游客，这可能会受到打击。洪水严重破坏了通往黄石公园的主要北部入口道路，可能需要数年时间才能重建）”可知，加德纳的经济将陷入困境。故选A项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段句子“Park officials have started a new entry system to prevent overcrowding. It is based on the last number of the visitor’s vehicle license plate and the calendar date of the month. Cars with odd (奇数的) numbers can visit the park on odd days of the month, while those with even (偶数的) numbers can go on even days.(公园管理人员已经启动了一个新的进入系统，以防止过度拥挤。它基于访问者的车辆牌照的最后一个数字和当月的日历日期。奇数号的汽车可以在每月的奇数日参观，偶数号的汽车可以在偶数日参观)”可推论出，车牌号码决定车辆何时可以进入公园。故选C项。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段的最后两句“It is known for its natural beauty that includes mountains, rivers and lakes. The forces of fire and ice shaped the park over thousands of years.（它以其自然美景而闻名，这包括山脉、河流和湖泊。几千年来，冰与火的力量塑造了这座公园）”可知，自然美景使黄石公园闻名遐迩。故选D项。

【16题详解】
根据上文“Whether you have experienced a breakup with someone you cared for deeply, whether death has taken a loved one, whether you have lost a job, learn how to move on and let go. (无论你是否经历过与你深爱的人分手，无论死亡夺走了你所爱的人，无论你是否失去了工作，你都要学会如何继续前进，放手)”以及后文“They will make the situation worse. (他们会使情况变得更糟)”结合后文主要介绍了在生活中如何学会放手，不要做的事情，可知，本句旨在说明要避免的事情。D选项中things对应后文They。故D选项“让我们来看看在损失时要避免的事情”符合语境，故选D。
【17题详解】
根据上文“Don’t spend too much time or energy mourning what has happened. Let a broken romance or friendship go. (不要花太多的时间和精力去哀悼已经发生的事情。让一段破碎的恋情或友谊随风而逝，)”可知，上文具体举例不要花费太多的时间或精力去为已经发生的事情忧伤，承接上文，可知本句也是在列举那些已经发生的悲伤的事情，应该对它放手，故E选项“让一份失去的工作成为一段经历，仅此而已。”符合语境，故选E。
【18题详解】
根据上文“Don’t overreact to your loss and take any sudden action without careful reflection. (不要对你的损失反应过度，不要在没有仔细考虑的情况下采取任何突然的行动)”可知，上文讲不要情绪化行动，即不要因为这些不好的情绪就随便采取行动。故G选项“尽管孤独或害怕，冷静而明智地采取行动。”符合语境，故选G。
【19题详解】
根据后文“Although you may feel the urge to avoid interacting with your friends and family, it is important in time of loss that you keep up social contacts. Try not to lose the friendships you have built, but if you do find yourself isolated from previous connections, focus all your energy on building new connections. (虽然你可能会想要避免与朋友和家人互动，但在失去亲人的时候保持社会联系是很重要的。试着不要失去你已经建立的友谊，但如果你发现自己与以前的联系隔绝了，集中所有的精力去建立新的联系。)”可知，空后提到尽管你可能有强烈的欲望想要避免与家人或朋友进行交流，但在失去的时候，保持社交是至关重要的，换句话说，作者的建议是不要独处，故A选项“不要花费太多时间独处。”符合语境，故选A。
【20题详解】
根据上文“Don’t complain about what has happened, and don’t listen to your friends’ complaints. It is better to focus your thoughts on positive matters. (不要抱怨已经发生的事情，不要听你朋友的抱怨。最好把你的思想集中在积极的事情上。)”可知，上文讲避免消极的事情，要让自己关注积极的事情，即把注意力集中到好的事情上，故C选项“将你的注意力放在创造一个美好的未来上。”符合语境，故选C。

Four novels recommended to readers
Bee Season: A novel by Myla Goldvberg
Eliza Naumann, a nine-year-old girl, expects never to fit into her gifted family: her wise father, Saul, focused on his study of science; her brother, Aaron, the hope of his father; and her bright lawyer-mom, Miriam. But when Eliza takes the lead in school and district spelling bee competitions, Saul takes it as a sign that she is sure to be of greatness.
The Worlds We Think We Know: Stories by Dalia Rosenfeld
Very funny, this collection of stories takes readers from the United States to Israel and back again to examine the secret reaches of our own minds and hearts. The characters in the book are influenced by the forces beyond their control—war, adulthood, family.

This is a novel from an unforgettable new voice. It is a story about how you see “home”. Masha remembers her childhood in the former USSR, but found her life and heart in Israel. Anna was just a baby when her family left Israel, but wants to find her roots.
Everything Is Illuminated by Jonathan Safran
With only a yellowing photo in hand, a young man named Jonathan Safran Foer sets out to find the woman who might or might not have saved his grandfather from the Nazis.

My granddad often helped me make a tool to catch fish when I was young and we would spend hours along a river. It was lovely for both of us then. Many more of today’s grandparents have a growing sense of adventure. And a trend is catching on: skip-gen travel — grandparents taking fun-filled vacations with grand kids without their parents along.
A survey found that 83% of grandparents put travel with their grand kids as the number one thing when they retire. Skip-gen travel gets popular for good reason. Kids have their lives enriched and learn outside classrooms. This is also a time of talking and sharing ideas.
“How grandparents talk to children is different from how parents talk to them. Actually, I feel on a more equal footing with my grandchildren than I do with my own children,” Annie Collins, a travel architect and also part of the trend, says. “Kids away from their parents are more open to ideas and willing to express themselves. It’s not just kids gaining from traveling. Who gets the most out of this You might think it’s them but it’s us.” According to a study by the Cleveland Clinic, grandparents who help watch and spend time with grand kids may actually live longer than their peers（同龄人）.
It’s also important to recognize that grandparents often have more time to travel. Unlike their children, who may still be in the pursuit of a personal career that offers limited time off, grandparents are often retired and likely have a different viewpoint on life, prioritizing experiences and family. So knowing the kids are in great hands, moms and dads will have a bit of time to themselves — some much-needed leisure time alone to rest and recharge their batteries.
However, skip-gen travel is not for every grandparent. After all, grandparents are worn out with years and not so energetic. They surely treasure the chance to form close ties with their grandchildren, but it’s wiser to say no when only the youth could enjoy themselves, for the travel should be a win for everyone involved.
4. Why does the author mention fishing experiences with his granddad
A. To lead in the trend of skip-gen travel. B. To share the pleasure in going fishing.
C. To stress the importance of family ties. D. To show the growing interest in adventure.
5. Which of the following may Annie Collins agree
A. Many parents are too strict with children.
B. Grandparents benefit more from skip-gen travel.
C. Spending time with grandparents is better for kids.
D. Children become mature when away from parents.
6. What do we know about the parents whose kids are on skip-gen travel
A. They enjoy the moment to relax. B. They feel less anxious and stressed.
C. They miss their kids very much. D. They look forward to their own trip.
7. What does the author suggest grandparents do
A. Get kids involved in travel planning. B. Strengthen the bond with grandchildren.
C. Reduce skip-gen travel appropriately. D. Make decisions in both sides’ interests.
C
Getting old might not be something that's yet to cross your mind. But aging is going to defeat us one day, so it's something we'd all like to control.
It would be great to have a long, healthy and happy life, and that's why scientists are constantly seeking out what we need to do to achieve it. We all know that regular exercise is good for us. But the latest piece of research might put a spring in your step if you're someone who walks at a fast pace. That's because the speed at which people walk in their 40s is a sign of how much their brains and their bodies are aging.
The BBC's Philippa Roxby writes that tests on 1,000 people found that slower walkers tended to show signs of "accelerated aging”. Their lungs, teeth and immune systems were in worse shape than those walking faster. The study also found not only did slower walkers bodies age more quickly, their faces looked older and they had smaller brains.
This might be seen as a wake-up call for people with a slower pace to work out and get fitter. But it might be too late； researchers say they were able to predict the walking speed of 45-year-olds using the results of intelligence, language and motor (运动)skills tests from when they were aged three. They also suggest that even in early life, there are signs showing which people will have a healthier life.
So, what's the point of knowing that a slower walking pace might mean a smaller brain Researchers say measuring walking speed at a younger age and understanding what this might mean could be a way of testing treatments to slow human aging.

A flood hit Yellowstone National Park on June 13, 2022. The disaster was caused by a combination of unusually heavy rains and rapid snow melt. The high and fast water flows destroyed bridges and swept away entire roadways, leaving communities and homes isolated. Fortunately, the approximately 10,000 park visitors were safely evacuated.
The town of Gardiner, along the Montana-Wyoming border, was particularly hard hit. The floodwaters left almost 900 people with no power or water for many days. Gardiner’s economy, which depends on the almost three-quarters of a million visitors who pass through the park’s north gate annually, is likely to take a hit. The floodwaters severely damaged the main north entrance road to Yellowstone, and could take years to rebuild.
Park officials have begun work on improving an alternative road to Gardiner. This will ensure that locals can access food, supplies, and other essential emergency services. A limited number of tourists may also be allowed into Gardiner once the road is stable.
Yellowstone’s north gate is closed indefinitely. But the park’s south gate opened to visitors on June 22, 2022. Park officials have started a new entry system to prevent overcrowding. It is based on the last number of the visitor’s vehicle license plate and the calendar date of the month. Cars with odd (奇数的) numbers can visit the park on odd days of the month, while those with even (偶数的) numbers can go on even days.
Established in 1872, Yellowstone is America’s oldest national park. The 3,472-square-mile reserve spans three states and is home to many unique wildlife. It is known for its natural beauty that includes mountains, rivers and lakes. The forces of fire and ice shaped the park over thousands of years.
12. What does the underlined word “isolated” in paragraph 1 probably mean
A. Tracked. B. Separated.
C. Decorated. D. Improved.
13. What was the possible result of the flood
A. Gardiner’s economy would get into trouble.
B. Communities and homes were left in ruins.
C. Almost 900 people were trapped in the park.
D. The park’s south gate was closed for a while.
14. What can be inferred from the text
A. Local people can get daily necessities from visitors.
B. The park has adopted a new system to recognize faces.
C. The license plate number decides when cars enter the park.
D. More tourists may flood into the park for geological features.
15. Which of the following statements is true according to the text
A. Flooding has caused widespread damage in the US.
B. Yellowstone National Park is closed due to flooding.
C. People can visit Yellowstone National Park any day.
D. Natural beauty makes Yellowstone famous.
