Down House, home of Charles Darwin:
Fun fact
Charles Darwin, his wife, Emma, and their children lived at Down House for 40 years from 1838. Several rooms appear as if the family still live here: with croquet sets thrown into an under-stairs cupboard, a half-played game of backgammon on a side table and Emma’s knitting(毛线) left on a chair in the drawing room. Upstairs, an exhibition showcases Darwin’s voyage aboard HMS Beagle, including a reconstruction of his cabin. Outside, visitors can explore the sheltered gardens which Darwin used as an open-air laboratory, and the greenhouse in which he planted rare plants and devised botanical experiments.
No room at Down House escaped Darwin’s experiments. In the drawing room he once placed a jar of earthworms on the grand piano to see whether they could hear.
Getting there
A 15-minute drive from the A21/Farnborough. Free parking. The R8 bus from Orpington stops nearby (except Sundays) or the 146 bus from Bromley North and South terminates (终点站) in Downe village, half a mile from the property. The nearest railway stations are Chelsfield or Orpington, about four miles away.
Value for money
It’s ￡12 (adult), ￡7.20 (child), or ￡31.30 (family with 2 adults). Under 5s go free.
Opening hours
Open daily 10am-6pm from 30 March to 30 September; daily 10 a.m. — 5 p.m. between 1 to 31 October. Opening times vary through the winter (check website for details).
Verdict(评价)
8/10. An unstuffy educational, gentle day-trip attraction with friendly, knowledgeable staff.
1. What can visitors do in Down House
A. Play the grand piano. B. Set sail in HMS Beagle.
C. Explore Darwin’s work and life. D. Try food sourced from the garden.

The apples that hang from trees in Tom Brown’s orchard (果园) are likely not found in the produce section of your local grocery store. They have names like Balsam Sweet, Candy Stripe, and Night Dropper, and are among the 1,200 varieties that Brown has regained from six southern states. Most haven’t been sold commercially for a century or more; some were transplanted from the last known trees of their kind.
One such apple is the Junaluska, which originated with the Cherokee Indians more than two centuries ago. It was popular in the South before disappearing from commercial production by 1900. Brown discovered the Junaluska in 2001 while searching for other apple varieties in a long-forgotten orchard, where he examined two ancient apple trees with Junaluskas. He took a cutting from the tree for his orchard and set about reintroducing the apple to the world.
Before Brown discovered lost apples, he was a chemical engineer who enjoyed visiting farmers markets. It was in 1999 that he became fascinated by heritage apples with unfamiliar names such as Kane, Lawver. Brown went in search of them. One dead end led to another until he reached out to local newspapers for help. The articles they ran brought about suggestions from readers, and soon Brown was tasting Yellow Potts, Moseys and many more varieties once assumed lost.
In 1905 there were more than 7,000 apple varieties in the United States. Then things changed. People migrated to urban areas and grew less of their own food, while large agribusinesses preferred selling fewer varieties, ones that were familiar and shipped easily. Brown is on mission to bring back as many of the extinct or nearly extinct varieties as possible. Most of the clues about the location of these old trees come from people in their 70s, 80s, and 90s, many of whom he meets at festivals where he exhibits heritage apples.
“These were foods people had once cared about deeply, which had been central to their lives,” he says. “It felt wrong to just let them die and be lost forever.”
4. What can we learn about Tom Brown’s apples
A. They are juicy and sweet. B. They are rare and valuable.
C. They are named by Tom Brown. D. They are sold in local grocery stores.
5. How did Tom Brown find the Junaluska
A. He found it by accident. B. He met it in a commercial market.
C. He was informed by Indians. D. He found it with the help of farmers.
6. What may cause fewer apple varieties in the USA according to the text
A. Lack of labour and guidance. B. A sudden change in the weather.
C. People’s migration to the countryside. D. Agribusinesses’ favor and choice.
7. Which can be the best title for the text
A. The lost apples B. Tom Brown’s choice
C. An apple hunter D. American apple varieties
【答案】4. B 5. A 6. D 7. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了汤姆·布朗致力于恢复稀有苹果品种的过程和经历。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Most haven’t been sold commercially for a century or more; some were transplanted from the last known trees of their kind.(大多数已经有一个多世纪没有商业销售了；有些是从最后已知的同类树木移植过来的)”可知，汤姆·布朗种的苹果是稀有品种，很宝贵。故选B。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Brown discovered the Junaluska in 2001 while searching for other apple varieties in a long-forgotten orchard, where he examined two ancient apple trees with Junaluskas.(2001年，布朗在一个长期被遗忘的果园里寻找其他苹果品种时发现了Junaluska，他在那里找到了两棵与Junaluska一起生长的古苹果树)”可知，布朗在找别的苹果品种时意外发现了Junaluska。故选A。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“People migrated to urban areas and grew less of their own food, while large agribusinesses preferred selling fewer varieties, ones that were familiar and shipped easily.(人们移居到城市地区，自己种植的食物越来越少，而大型农业综合企业更喜欢销售较少的品种，那些熟悉的、容易运输的品种)”可知，农业综合企业的偏好和选择导致苹果种类越来越少。故选D。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“One such apple is the Junaluska, which originated with the Cherokee Indians more than two centuries ago. It was popular in the South before disappearing from commercial production by 1900.

T. O. Fuller State Park in Memphis, Tennessee, has been loved for generations and has always been a ground where community has come first. Back in 1938, it was the first park east of the Mississippi river to open for African American visitors. Over 80 years later, the park is continuing its forward-thinking tradition, this time, through a pioneering sustainability project.
A new walking and biking trail has been built through this historic park. Illegally dumped (被丢弃的) tires are not only unpleasant to see, but they’re a dangerous addition to the environment. Rubber, like plastic, is a material that won’t naturally decompose. In a place as hot as Tennessee, these dumped tires often begin to melt and release these harmful gasses into the air. Fortunately, the old tires were sent to Patriot Tire Recycling in Bristol, TN, the only facility in the area that can break down tires in an environmentally sound way. There, the collected tires were safely broken down into the crumble (碎屑) rubber that was eventually used to pave the new trail.
TN State Parks explained how the trail’s construction, which has been in development since 2019, was a joint effort. Officials from the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation, the Tennessee Department of Transportation, the City of Memphis, Shelby County, and Memphis City Beautiful were all involved in funding this recycling project.
These officials named their initiative the “Tires to Trails” project. Workers from these departments, alongside some 450 volunteers, came together to collect over 24, 000 tires that had been illegally dumped in the area around the park to be recycled.
“This is a perfect example of recycling in full circle, collecting dumped material, then converting it into positive use,” David, a leader of the project, said in a statement.
8. What kind of park is T.O. Fuller State Park
A. It is a popular park with a good tradition. B. It is the first park welcoming all visitors.
C. It is a park west of the Mississippi river. D. It is a modern park without biking trails.
9. Why are dumped tires a dangerous addition to the environment
A. They are ugly to see. B. They release harmful gasses.
C. They are made up of plastic. D. They could only be used to pave the new trail.
10. What does David mean in the last paragraph
A. It is the park’s responsibility to recycle.
B. The park is built on dumped materials.
C. The park successfully recycled dumped tires.
D. It is possible to turn everything into useful things.
11. Which of the following is the best title of the text
A. Areas of Reusing Tires
B. Methods of Rebuilding a Trail
C. Tires Transformed into a New Hiking Trail
D. Officials and People Working Together to Recycle Tires
【答案】8. A 9. B 10. C 11. C
【解析】

Fuller州立公园世世代代受到人们的喜爱，一直是社区至上的地方)”可知，它是一个受欢迎的公园。根据第一段最后一句话“Over 80 years later, the park is continuing its forward-thinking tradition, this time, through a pioneering sustainability project.(80多年后，该公园继续其前瞻性的传统，这一次，通过一个开创性的可持续发展项目)”可知，它是一个有着良好传统的公园，因此T.O. Fuller State Park是一个很受欢迎的公园，有着很好的传统。故选A。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Rubber, like plastic, is a material that won’t naturally decompose. In a place as hot as Tennessee, these dumped tires often begin to melt and release these harmful gasses into the air.(橡胶和塑料一样，是一种不会自然分解的材料。在像田纳西州这样炎热的地方，这些被丢弃的轮胎经常开始融化，并将这些有害气体释放到空气中)”可知，废弃轮胎会对环境造成危害是因为它们释放有害气体。故选B。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“This is a perfect example of recycling in full circle, collecting dumped material, then converting it into positive use(这是一个循环再利用的完美例子，收集废弃材料，然后将其转化为积极的用途)”可知，David在最后一段的意思是T. O. Fuller State Park在回收废弃轮胎方面做得很成功。故选C。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第二段的“Fortunately, the old tires were sent to Patriot Tire Recycling in Bristol, TN, the only facility in the area that can break down tires in an environmentally sound way. There, the collected tires were safely broken down into the crumble (碎屑) rubber that was eventually used to pave the new trail.(幸运的是，旧轮胎被送到了田纳西州Bristol的Patriot Tire Recycling，这是该地区唯一一家可以以环保方式分解轮胎的工厂。在那里，收集到的轮胎被安全地分解成橡胶碎屑，最终用于铺设新的道路)”可知，本篇文章主要讲述了田纳西州的T. O. Fuller State Park在众人合作的基础上对被丢弃的轮胎进行废物利用并用其铺成了一条路的故事，因此最好的题目是C选项“Tires Transformed into a New Hiking Trail(轮胎变成了一条新的徒步旅行路线)”。故选C。

If a pancake could dream, it might long for legs so it could jump off your breakfast plate in pursuit of a better, unchewed life. But legs aren’t necessary for something as flat as a pancake to jump around. A group of scientists have designed a pancake-shaped robot that can jump several times per second and higher than seven times its body height. The new robot named Hop, which swiftly jumps without feet, is an important contribution to the soft robotics.
Many ground robots move by rolling or walking. But it’s more efficient for robots to jump over obstacles than to go around them. Although jumping can offer some robots a competitive edge, engineering that ability has been a challenge for robotics researchers. Some soft robots that store energy can perform a single impressive jump very infrequently. Some lightweight soft robots that don’t store energy can jump frequently but can’t jump high or far enough to successfully cross an obstacle.
For inspiration, the researchers looked to gall midge larvae(瘿蚊幼虫)that miraculously throw themselves across distances 30 times as long as their loglike bodies. A gall midge larva bends its body and squeezes the liquid in its body to one end, making it rigid. The accumulation of liquid builds up pressure, and releasing the pressure sends it soaring. The robot’s body doesn’t resemble that of a gall midge larva, but it jumps like one. Its body is made of two small plastic bags printed with electrodes(电极);the front bag is filled with liquid and the back one is filled with the same volume of air. The robot uses electricity to drive the flow of liquid, which causes the body to bend and generate force with the ground, resulting in a jump. And the air bag imitates the function of an animal’s tail, helping the robot maintain a stable position.
While the robot is currently restricted to Earth, it might be right at home exploring another planet. If this is true, the researchers’ robot might jump over dusty rocks and large holes on the moon or Mars, going where no pancake has gone before.
12. What does the author want to show by mentioning a pancake
A. A pancake’s dream to have legs is unrealistic.
B. A robot is capable of serving a good pancake.
C. A pancake-shaped robot can jump without legs.
D. Research on pancakes advances our understanding of robots.
13. What difficultly do robotics researchers have in developing Hop according to Paragraph 2
A. Hop’s avoiding an obstacle.
B. Hop’s moving around by rolling.
C. Hop’s performing one remarkable jump.
D. Hop’s jumping high and far continuously.
14. What inspiration do the researchers draw from gall midge larvae
A. They are shaped like logs.
B. They have tails to change positions.
C. They bend their bodies and increase force.
D. They are filled with liquid and have rigid bodies.
15. What is the author’s attitude to the future of the new robot
A. Intolerant. B. Positive. C. Doubtful. D. Unclear.
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. C 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了扁平无腿机器人的原理、优点及前景。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“But legs aren’t necessary for something as flat as a pancake to jump around. A group of scientists have designed a pancake-shaped robot that can jump.(但是对于像煎饼这样扁平的东西来说，腿并不是跳跃的必要条件。一组科学家设计了一个能跳的煎饼形状的机器人。)”可知，作者提到煎饼的目的是引出可以跳跃的煎饼形状的机器人。故选C。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“Some soft robots that store energy can perform a single impressive jump very infrequently. Some lightweight soft robots that don’t store energy can jump frequently but can’t jump high or far enough to successfully cross an obstacle.(一些储存能量的软体机器人很少能完成一次令人印象深刻的跳跃。一些不储存能量的轻型软体机器人可以频繁跳跃，但跳得不够高或不够远，无法成功越过障碍物。)”可知，研究者的研发难点在于使机器人能持续跳跃且跳得又高又远。故选D。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“A gall midge larva bends its body and squeezes the liquid in its body to one end, making it rigid. The accumulation of liquid builds up pressure, and releasing the pressure sends it soaring.(瘿蚊幼虫弯曲身体，将体内的液体挤压到一端，使其变得坚硬。液体的积聚积聚了压力，释放压力会使压力飙升。)”可知，瘿蚊幼虫通过弯曲身体，挤压液体，积聚压力然后释放来跳跃。故选C。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“If this is true, the researchers’ robot might jump over dusty rocks and large holes on the moon or Mars, going where no pancake has gone before.(研制的机器人可能会跃过月球或火星上布满灰尘的大坑、大石头，去到煎饼形状的机器人从未涉足的地方。)”可知，作者对于这种新机器人的前景持乐观的态度。故选B。

Gear guide—buying a backpack
A quick glance through my outdoor trade directory reveals 49 companies that sell or make backpacks. If they all produce ten backpacks then we have a frightening number for the humble beginner to choose from. ___16___
The first and most vital consideration is your anticipated load. If you have short summer evening walks then a small backpack would be fine, but if your walks are day-long and year-round then your pack will need to be bigger. Mine typically contains packed lunch, waterproofs, clothing I’ve taken off during the day, a first aid kit and an emergency shelter. Sometimes in winter I add a sleeping bag and a torch. ___17___ My current backpack is a Crag-hopper AD30(30 litres)which is just big enough. Admittedly I do often lead walking parties in remote places so perhaps my added responsibilities cause me to carry pare my list with yours to see if you need as much carrying space.
___18___ Choose a light pack but make sure it can take the weight of what you are carrying and it can support the load comfortably on your back. Today you can get quite technically advanced backpacks: advanced fabrics, a variety of side pockets, internal frames, adjustable belts, and clever systems to keep your back cool.
You also need to look inside. It may seem obvious, but you should choose a backpack that allows you easy access. ___19___ It’s also important to choose a backpack that fits the length of your back. Being six feet I need a long, thin one rather than a short, wider one. If I use the latter, I’ ll have a hip belt round my stomach!
___20___ Obviously you can’t see it when it’s on your back, but why buy something that won’t look good on you After all, there’s no shortage of colors or designs to choose from.
A. I need a backpack with a reasonable capacity.
B. Undoubtedly we won’t ignore the look of the pack.
C. A wide variety of functions are offered to customers.
D. It is recommended that you consider weight and features.
E. Some have narrow necks that make removing large items difficult.
F. So consider your own needs before you set foot in an outdoor shop.
G. A cool pack can provide an enjoyable and comfortable hiking trip for you.
【答案】16. F 17. A 18. D 19. E 20. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了如何选购一款适合自己的背包。
【16题详解】
根据前文“A quick glance through my outdoor trade directory reveals 49 companies that sell or make backpacks. If they all produce ten backpacks then we have a frightening number for the humble beginner to choose from. (快速浏览我的户外贸易目录，发现有49家公司销售或制造背包。如果它们都生产10个背包，那么对于初学者来说，选择的数量是令人惊人的。)”可知，此处强调当面临数量众多的背包时，不知道如何选择，后文应该指出解决方案。F选项“So consider your own needs before you set foot in an outdoor shop.(所以，在你踏入户外商店之前，先考虑一下你自己的需求。)”与前文构成因果关系。故选F。
【17题详解】
根据前文“Sometimes in winter I add a sleeping bag and a torch. (冬天的时候，我有时会加一个睡袋和一个手电筒。)”可知，此处指出作者常常带的物品，后文应该介绍作者目前所使用型号的背包足够大。A选项“I need a backpack with a reasonable capacity.(我需要一个容量适中的背包。)”讲述作者对背包容量的需求，承接前文。故选A。
【18题详解】
根据后文“Choose a light pack, but make sure it can take the weight of what you are carrying and it can support the load comfortably on your back. (选择一个轻的背包，但要确保它能承受你所携带的东西的重量，并且它能舒适地支撑你的背部。)”可知，本段主要围绕的是选择轻型背包，并考虑背包材质、内饰、性能等展开。D选项“It is recommended that you consider weight and features.(建议您考虑重量和特征。)”概括本文内容。故选D。
【19题详解】
根据前文“you should choose a backpack that allows you easy access. (你应该选择一个方便取用的背包。)”以及后文“It’s also important to choose a backpack that fits the length of your back. (选择一个适合你背部长度的背包也很重要。)”可知，此处指出选择合适自己的背包。E选项“Some have narrow necks that make removing large items difficult.(有些背包的脖口很窄，很难取出大的东西。)”引起下文，指出背包的脖口很小，很难伸手够到东西，承接前文提出的应该要选择适合自己背包。同时后文也提出了具体建议还要适合自己背部长度的背包，符合语境。故选E。
【20题详解】
根据前文“but why buy something that won’t look good on you (但是为什么要买一些不适合你的东西呢？)”可知，此处强调选择背包也要注意外观。B选项“Undoubtedly we won’t ignore the look of the pack.(毫无疑问，我们不会忽视背包的外观。)”符合语境。故选B。

第一节 句子翻译(满分10分)
46. 人生中的成功并非偶然发生，它是把你的精力投入到已着手做的事情上的结果。(汉译英)
【答案】Sucess in life is the result of devoting your energy to what you have set out to do, which doesn’t happen by accident.
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句。“人生中的成功”可翻译为“Sucess in life ”，在句中作主语。本句话使用主系表结构，是对一般事实的陈述，所以用一般现在时态。“……的结果”可翻译为“the result of”；“把精力投入到……”可翻译为“ devote one’s energy to”，动词devote作介词of的宾语，所以用动名词形式。to为介词，后面接what引导的宾语从句，宾语从句的内容为“what you have set out to do”，表示“你已着手做的事情上”，what在宾语从句中作宾语；用which引导非限定性定语从句修饰先行词sucess。“发生”用动词happen，为定语从句的谓语动词。“偶然地”可翻译为“by accident。”故翻译为Sucess in life is the result of devoting your energy to what you have set out to do, which doesn’t happen by accident.

49. 正是他良好的英语听说能力使他在这次英语演讲比赛中脱颖而出。(汉译英)
【答案】It was his good English listening and speaking ability that made him stand out in the English speech contest.

50. 随着时间的推移，这位科学家的理论被证明是正确的。(汉译英)
【答案】As time went by, the scientist’s theory proved to be right.

So far, they have loved each other for many years”。故答案为Tom fell in love with Mary the first time he met her. So far, they have loved each other for many years.
53. 他们最小的孩子处于可以说单个词但无法说整句的阶段。(汉译英)
【答案】Their youngest child is at the stage where he can say individual words but not full sentence.
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句。句子可理解为陈述客观事实，用一般现在时；主语“他们最小的孩子”为their youngest child；表示“处于……阶段”短语为be at the stage；“可以说单个词但无法说整句”处理为修饰stage的定语从句，从句主语为he；表示“说”应用say；表示“单个词”应用individual words；表示“整句”应用full sentence。代替先行词stage在从句中作抽象地点状语从句，应用关系副词where作引导词。故翻译为Their youngest child is at the stage where he can say individual words but not full sentence.

One weekend in July, Jane and her husband, Tom, had driven three hours to camp overnight by a lake in the forest. Unfortunately, on the way an unpleasant subject came up and they started to quarrel. By the time they reached the lake, Jane was so angry that she said to Tom, “I'm going to find a better spot for us to camp” and walked away.
With no path to follow, Jane just walked on for quite a long time. After she had climbed to a high place, she turned around, hoping to see the lake. To her surprise, she saw nothing but forest and, far beyond, a snowcapped mountain top. She suddenly realized that she was lost.
“Tom!” she cried. “Help!”
No reply. If only she had not left her mobile phone in that bag with Tom. Jane kept moving, but the farther she walked, the more confused she became. As night was beginning to fall, Jane was so tired that she had to stop for the night. Lying awake in the dark, Jane wanted very much to be with Tom and her family. She wanted to hold him and tell him how much she loved him.
Jane rose at the break of day, hungry and thirsty. She could hear water trickling (滴落) somewhere at a distance. Quickly she followed the sound to a stream. To her great joy, she also saw some berry bushes. She drank and ate a few berries. Never in her life had she tasted anything better.
Feeling stronger now, Jane began to walk along the stream and hope it would lead her to' the lake.
As she picked her way carefully along the stream, Jane heard a helicopter. Is that for me Unfortunately,the trees made it impossible for people to see her from above.

I have to guide him tomorrow.” She fell asleep and dreamed of seeing Tom.
It was daybreak when Jane woke up. She ate some berries and then walked along the stream, hoping to find a suitable place to guide the helicopter. She walked and walked, exhausted but full of hope. Suddenly, she spotted a huge flat rock. She managed to climb onto it and waited with patience. The helicopter appeared again. The nearer it got, the more she waved the yellow blouse. To her great joy, the helicopter didn’t miss Jane this time and it landed near the big rock slowly. Tom jumped off the helicopter and rushed towards Jane. They hugged each other tightly and burst into tears.

A
Down House, home of Charles Darwin:
Fun fact
Charles Darwin, his wife, Emma, and their children lived at Down House for 40 years from 1838. Several rooms appear as if the family still live here: with croquet sets thrown into an under-stairs cupboard, a half-played game of backgammon on a side table and Emma’s knitting(毛线) left on a chair in the drawing room. Upstairs, an exhibition showcases Darwin’s voyage aboard HMS Beagle, including a reconstruction of his cabin. Outside, visitors can explore the sheltered gardens which Darwin used as an open-air laboratory, and the greenhouse in which he planted rare plants and devised botanical experiments.
No room at Down House escaped Darwin’s experiments. In the drawing room he once placed a jar of earthworms on the grand piano to see whether they could hear.

The apples that hang from trees in Tom Brown’s orchard (果园) are likely not found in the produce section of your local grocery store. They have names like Balsam Sweet, Candy Stripe, and Night Dropper, and are among the 1,200 varieties that Brown has regained from six southern states. Most haven’t been sold commercially for a century or more; some were transplanted from the last known trees of their kind.
One such apple is the Junaluska, which originated with the Cherokee Indians more than two centuries ago. It was popular in the South before disappearing from commercial production by 1900. Brown discovered the Junaluska in 2001 while searching for other apple varieties in a long-forgotten orchard, where he examined two ancient apple trees with Junaluskas. He took a cutting from the tree for his orchard and set about reintroducing the apple to the world.
Before Brown discovered lost apples, he was a chemical engineer who enjoyed visiting farmers markets. It was in 1999 that he became fascinated by heritage apples with unfamiliar names such as Kane, Lawver. Brown went in search of them. One dead end led to another until he reached out to local newspapers for help. The articles they ran brought about suggestions from readers, and soon Brown was tasting Yellow Potts, Moseys and many more varieties once assumed lost.
In 1905 there were more than 7,000 apple varieties in the United States. Then things changed. People migrated to urban areas and grew less of their own food, while large agribusinesses preferred selling fewer varieties, ones that were familiar and shipped easily. Brown is on mission to bring back as many of the extinct or nearly extinct varieties as possible. Most of the clues about the location of these old trees come from people in their 70s, 80s, and 90s, many of whom he meets at festivals where he exhibits heritage apples.
“These were foods people had once cared about deeply, which had been central to their lives,” he says. “It felt wrong to just let them die and be lost forever.”

T. O. Fuller State Park in Memphis, Tennessee, has been loved for generations and has always been a ground where community has come first. Back in 1938, it was the first park east of the Mississippi river to open for African American visitors. Over 80 years later, the park is continuing its forward-thinking tradition, this time, through a pioneering sustainability project.
A new walking and biking trail has been built through this historic park. Illegally dumped (被丢弃的) tires are not only unpleasant to see, but they’re a dangerous addition to the environment. Rubber, like plastic, is a material that won’t naturally decompose. In a place as hot as Tennessee, these dumped tires often begin to melt and release these harmful gasses into the air. Fortunately, the old tires were sent to Patriot Tire Recycling in Bristol, TN, the only facility in the area that can break down tires in an environmentally sound way. There, the collected tires were safely broken down into the crumble (碎屑) rubber that was eventually used to pave the new trail.
TN State Parks explained how the trail’s construction, which has been in development since 2019, was a joint effort. Officials from the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation, the Tennessee Department of Transportation, the City of Memphis, Shelby County, and Memphis City Beautiful were all involved in funding this recycling project.
These officials named their initiative the “Tires to Trails” project. Workers from these departments, alongside some 450 volunteers, came together to collect over 24, 000 tires that had been illegally dumped in the area around the park to be recycled.
“This is a perfect example of recycling in full circle, collecting dumped material, then converting it into positive use,” David, a leader of the project, said in a statement.
8. What kind of park is T.O. Fuller State Park
A. It is a popular park with a good tradition. B. It is the first park welcoming all visitors.
C. It is a park west of the Mississippi river. D. It is a modern park without biking trails.
9. Why are dumped tires a dangerous addition to the environment
A. They are ugly to see. B. They release harmful gasses.
C. They are made up of plastic. D. They could only be used to pave the new trail.
10. What does David mean in the last paragraph
A. It is the park’s responsibility to recycle.
B. The park is built on dumped materials.
C. The park successfully recycled dumped tires.
D. It is possible to turn everything into useful things.
11 Which of the following is the best title of the text
A. Areas of Reusing Tires
B. Methods of Rebuilding a Trail
C. Tires Transformed into a New Hiking Trail
D. Officials and People Working Together to Recycle Tires

If a pancake could dream, it might long for legs so it could jump off your breakfast plate in pursuit of a better, unchewed life. But legs aren’t necessary for something as flat as a pancake to jump around. A group of scientists have designed a pancake-shaped robot that can jump several times per second and higher than seven times its body height. The new robot named Hop, which swiftly jumps without feet, is an important contribution to the soft robotics.
Many ground robots move by rolling or walking. But it’s more efficient for robots to jump over obstacles than to go around them. Although jumping can offer some robots a competitive edge, engineering that ability has been a challenge for robotics researchers. Some soft robots that store energy can perform a single impressive jump very infrequently. Some lightweight soft robots that don’t store energy can jump frequently but can’t jump high or far enough to successfully cross an obstacle.
For inspiration, the researchers looked to gall midge larvae(瘿蚊幼虫)that miraculously throw themselves across distances 30 times as long as their loglike bodies. A gall midge larva bends its body and squeezes the liquid in its body to one end, making it rigid. The accumulation of liquid builds up pressure, and releasing the pressure sends it soaring. The robot’s body doesn’t resemble that of a gall midge larva, but it jumps like one. Its body is made of two small plastic bags printed with electrodes(电极);the front bag is filled with liquid and the back one is filled with the same volume of air. The robot uses electricity to drive the flow of liquid, which causes the body to bend and generate force with the ground, resulting in a jump. And the air bag imitates the function of an animal’s tail, helping the robot maintain a stable position.
While the robot is currently restricted to Earth, it might be right at home exploring another planet. If this is true, the researchers’ robot might jump over dusty rocks and large holes on the moon or Mars, going where no pancake has gone before.
12. What does the author want to show by mentioning a pancake
A. A pancake’s dream to have legs is unrealistic.
B. A robot is capable of serving a good pancake.
C. A pancake-shaped robot can jump without legs.
D. Research on pancakes advances our understanding of robots.
13. What difficultly do robotics researchers have in developing Hop according to Paragraph 2
A. Hop’s avoiding an obstacle.
B. Hop’s moving around by rolling.
C. Hop’s performing one remarkable jump.
D. Hop’s jumping high and far continuously.
14. What inspiration do the researchers draw from gall midge larvae
A. They are shaped like logs.
B. They have tails to change positions.
C. They bend their bodies and increase force.
D. They are filled with liquid and have rigid bodies.
15. What is the author’s attitude to the future of the new robot
A. Intolerant. B. Positive. C. Doubtful. D. Unclear.

Gear guide—buying a backpack
A quick glance through my outdoor trade directory reveals 49 companies that sell or make backpacks. If they all produce ten backpacks then we have a frightening number for the humble beginner to choose from. ___16___
The first and most vital consideration is your anticipated load. If you have short summer evening walks then a small backpack would be fine, but if your walks are day-long and year-round then your pack will need to be bigger. Mine typically contains packed lunch, waterproofs, clothing I’ve taken off during the day, a first aid kit and an emergency shelter. Sometimes in winter I add a sleeping bag and a torch. ___17___ My current backpack is a Crag-hopper AD30(30 litres)which is just big enough. Admittedly I do often lead walking parties in remote places so perhaps my added responsibilities cause me to carry pare my list with yours to see if you need as much carrying space.
___18___ Choose a light pack, but make sure it can take the weight of what you are carrying and it can support the load comfortably on your back. Today you can get quite technically advanced backpacks: advanced fabrics, a variety of side pockets, internal frames, adjustable belts, and clever systems to keep your back cool.
You also need to look inside. It may seem obvious, but you should choose a backpack that allows you easy access. ___19___ It’s also important to choose a backpack that fits the length of your back. Being six feet I need a long, thin one rather than a short, wider one. If I use the latter, I’ ll have a hip belt round my stomach!
___20___ Obviously you can’t see it when it’s on your back, but why buy something that won’t look good on you After all, there’s no shortage of colors or designs to choose from.
A. I need a backpack with a reasonable capacity.
B. Undoubtedly we won’t ignore the look of the pack.
C. A wide variety of functions are offered to customers.
D. It is recommended that you consider weight and features.
E. Some have narrow necks that make removing large items difficult.
F. So consider your own needs before you set foot in an outdoor shop.
G. A cool pack can provide an enjoyable and comfortable hiking trip for you.

One weekend in July, Jane and her husband, Tom, had driven three hours to camp overnight by a lake in the forest. Unfortunately, on the way an unpleasant subject came up and they started to quarrel. By the time they reached the lake, Jane was so angry that she said to Tom, “I'm going to find a better spot for us to camp” and walked away.
With no path to follow, Jane just walked on for quite a long time. After she had climbed to a high place, she turned around, hoping to see the lake. To her surprise, she saw nothing but forest and, far beyond, a snowcapped mountain top. She suddenly realized that she was lost.
“Tom!” she cried. “Help!”
No reply. If only she had not left her mobile phone in that bag with Tom. Jane kept moving, but the farther she walked, the more confused she became. As night was beginning to fall, Jane was so tired that she had to stop for the night. Lying awake in the dark, Jane wanted very much to be with Tom and her family. She wanted to hold him and tell him how much she loved him.
Jane rose at the break of day, hungry and thirsty. She could hear water trickling (滴落) somewhere at a distance. Quickly she followed the sound to a stream. To her great joy, she also saw some berry bushes. She drank and ate a few berries. Never in her life had she tasted anything better.
Feeling stronger now, Jane began to walk along the stream and hope it would lead her to' the lake.
As she picked her way carefully along the stream, Jane heard a helicopter. Is that for me Unfortunately,the trees made it impossible for people to see her from above.
