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.
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.
What do we know about the Grand Canyon National Park
We can have a poor view of the South Rim there.
It lies in an area with rolling steam and hot springs.
There is a slight decrease in visitor numbers in winter.
The Bright Angel Trail is challenging in cold weather.
Which activity is mentioned in all of the parks
A. Hiking. B. Skiing. C. Swimming. D. Hunting.
B
As a child, I was proud of my southern origin. My own voice reflected my family’s past and present — part northern Mississippi, part Tennessee, all southern. There was no
sound I loved more than my grandmother’s accent: thick, sweet, and warm.
While growing up, I began to realize outside of our region, southerners were often looked down upon as uncultured and ignorant. I was ready to leave behind my tiny town in West Tennessee, starting a new life and jumping at big chances in some far-off cities. In that embarrassing space between “teen” and “adult”, my accent was a symbol of everything I thought I hated about my life in the rural South. I feared it would disqualify me from being a noted magazine writer. I would have to talk less “country”. So I killed a piece of myself. I’m ashamed of it, but I’m more ashamed that I tried to kill that part of someone else — change Emily’s accent.
I met Emily in college. She was determined to work for the student newspaper, which was where I spent most of my waking hours, and we became friends. She, unlike me, accepted her roots. Early in our friendship, her mother asked where I was from, assuming it was somewhere up north. Then I felt my efforts paid off and even wanted to ignore the mistake.
Emily is two years younger and she cared about my opinion. I advised her to be more like me and hide her signature Manchester accent. I stressed that throughout our college years, often by making fun of her vowel ( 元 音 ) sounds. I told myself I was helping her achieve her dream of working as a reporter. Now, I see that it was actually about finding reasons for my hiding part of myself.
Grandma Carolyn used to tell me, “Girl, don’t forget where you come from.” Now I truly understand that. Many things have faded from memory, but this sticks in my mind with uncomfortable clarity. Now that I am grown and have left the South, it’s important to me.
What made the author want to leave her hometown
Appeal of convenience in cities.
Her dream of becoming a writer.
Outside opinion about southerners.
Her desire for the northern accent.
How did the author feel about the mistake of Emily’s mother
A. Upset. B. Pleased. C. Ashamed. D. Surprised.
What’s the real purpose of the author trying to change Emily’s accent
A. To prove herself right. B. To help Emily be a reporter.
C. To make herself influential. D. To protect Emily’s self-confidence.
What message does the text want to send
A. Stay true to your roots. B. Never do things by halves.
C. Hold on to your dreams. D. Never judge a person by his accent.
C
It’s normal for teens to want to stay connected with friends and the social circle, but what about that happening in the middle of the night The Journal of Youth Studies recently published new research showing that one in five teens from 12 to 15 regularly
preferred to spend all night on social media. Not surprisingly, the research also showed that these social night owls were three times more likely than others to feel tired at school and that girls were more likely than boys to be called to the office.
The blue light produced by cellphones and computers tempts the brain to stay awake, so it’s easy to see why a teen might be up all night. A study in the Psychological Science showed the same brain reaction: when teens saw large numbers of “likes” on their posts, they stayed awake with excitement as if they had eaten chocolates or won money. Besides not catching up on sleep and interrupting their sleep cycles, teens may never fully enter deep sleep that may be responsible for brain development and learning.
Considering about 72 percent of children from 6 to 17 sleep with some electronic media in their bedrooms, parents need to set rules instantly.
“Providing access to social media is a favor that children can earn and also lose,” Janie Feldman, an expert who treats sleep disorders, reminds parents. “The bad effect is clear. So teens and parents should discuss and be agreed on its use, timing and access. When teenagers approve of the rules, it’s easier for parents to control how much time they use the phones or computers.”
What does the underlined part “night owls” in Paragraph 1 refer to
Girls often called to the office.
Teens who stay up late because of social media.
Teens who are busy with their homework at night.
Boys regularly waking in the middle of the night.
How do teens react when seeing many “likes” on their posts according to the study
A. They are too excited to go to sleep. B. They fall asleep easily and happily.
C. They are too excited to go to school. D. They decide to make more good friends.
What suggestion does Janie Feldman give to parents
Stopping their children from using cellphones.
Getting their children to do homework through computers.
Making rules about media access together with their children.
Encouraging their children to stay connected with online friends.
What is the main idea of the text
Deep sleep makes a big difference to brain development.
Kids are trying to win back the trust of their parents.
Social media may have a bad effect on all kinds of people.
Social media may cause teens’ sleep disorders.
D
The San Diego County Water Authority has an unusual plan to use the city’s San Vicente Reservoir ( 水库) to store solar power. The project could help unlock America’s clean energy future.
Perhaps ten years from now, large underground pipes will connect the lake to a reservoir built about 1100 feet higher. When the sun is high in the sky, California’s rich
solar power will pump (泵水) water into that upper reservoir. When the sun goes down, the force of water would produce 500 megawatts (百万千瓦) of electricity for up to eight hours. “It’s a water battery!” says Neena Kuzmich, director of engineering for the water authority.
The technology that San Diego puts forward is already in use at more than 40 sites in the US. Some of them were built during the 1970s to store electricity produced by nuclear power plants. Now, the need to store power from renewable sources is bringing this old technology back.
Water batteries have many competitors, when it comes to storing energy. However, they have their own advantages. Water batteries are a proven way to store large amounts of power. The San Vicente project would store about as much electricity as the batteries in 50, 000 of Tesla’s Model 3 cars. They also don’t require hard-to-find battery materials. The biggest problem with them is that it is hard to find places to build them. They need a great deal of water, land to build two reservoirs and permission to damage the landscape.
Kelly Catlett, director of an environmental organization, says, “We won’t support projects that build new dams on rivers and damage ecosystems. But San Diego’s plan looks like something different, because it uses an existing reservoir and doesn’t damage any streams.”
What’s the main idea of Paragraph 2
A. When the pipes will be built. B. How the project will work.
C. Why reservoirs are needed. D. What the clean energy future is.
What is the advantage of water batteries over their competitors
They can power Tesla’s cars.
They can store renewable sources.
The battery materials are easy to get.
The technology applied is a new breakthrough.
What is the biggest challenge for water batteries
A. Damage caused to nature. B. The shortage of solar power.
C. Limited ability to store energy. D. Proper places for construction.
What is Kelly Catlett’s attitude towards the project
A. Unconcerned. B. Worried. C. Supportive. D. Doubtful.

Different Approaches to Reducing Food Waste
Food plays a key role in people’s life. While many people in poor communities suffer from a shortage of food, a large amount of food is wasted in the rest of the world. 56 Here are some tips on how to reduce food waste.
Learn to store food. Not sure how to keep those greens from wilting ( 蔫 ) overnight
Can’t keep your tomatoes fresh for more than a day or two Do your research on food storage and you’ll get the rewards. Not sure where to start 57
Use it all. 58 For example, leave the skin on carrots and potatoes (The skins
actually have a ton of valuable nutrients!), save the beet greens for a salad, and don’t throw away the outer skin of oranges!
59 Many fruits and vegetables are thrown away because they aren’t “pretty” enough. Buying food that comes in a different shape, size or colour helps use up food that might be given up.
Understand best-before dates correctly. People often confuse best-before dates with expiry dates (有效期). The best-before date has nothing to do with the safety of the food.
60 So while the taste may not be that good, many food items are still safe to eat for many days beyond the best-before date.
Pick the “funny looking” food.
This will save you time in the long run.
Check out Local Produce Storage Guide online.
Keep a “need to eat” list everyday in your daily life.
Therefore, food waste is a serious problem that needs our attention.
It refers to flavour and nutritional (营养) value, which is of great help to your body.
You often remove a part of whatever food you’ re cooking with, but often those food items can be saved.

As a teenager, I was pretty lazy when it came to doing things for my family. I worked hard at school, and sometimes looked after my younger sister. Still, I found myself regularly unwilling to 61 out at home with even the simplest things.
Every Wednesday afternoon, for example, my mother 62 me to another town for a piano lesson. During my two-hour lesson, she’d rush to the nearby store and buy a week’s worth of 63 . Given the fact that my mom had driven me twelve miles there, twelve miles back, 64 for my lesson, and bought me a candy bar, you’d think I’d be very 65 to help her bring the groceries into the house. But I wasn’t. I generally just brought in an arm-load and left the 66 for Mom as I ran to my room, shut the door, and started studying.
Don’t get me wrong: even back in my room, I felt 67 about not helping my mother more. Deep inside, I wanted to change my 68 . But I also realized that once I did change, there would be no going back. Once I took on more responsibility, my parents would start 69 more of me. At age fifteen, I sensed that this one small change would 70 something much bigger: my personal change from a cared-for, spoiled (被宠坏的) child to a more 71 , caring and giving young man.
I’ll never forget the Wednesday when I made a(n) 72 to jump in and see what
happened. Returning home from the lesson, I disappeared into my room, as usual. But once inside, I felt that deep and burning 73 . Throwing my school books on the bed,
I suddenly opened my door and headed back to the garage to help my mother. How happy I felt that day!
Surely, over time, I continued to help out with more housework. The neat thing was, the more I helped out, the better I felt about myself and my place in my family. As Mom and Dad realized they could 74 on me more, our trips became far less stressful, too. In short, it was a win-win situation for everyone.
Sometimes the little things we put off doing the longest 75 out to be the simplest things to complete. And feeling happy beats feeling guilty any day.
61. A. work B. help C. start D. cry
62. A. sent B. guided C. walked D. drove
63. A. groceries B. flowers C. fruits D. vegetables

65. A. nervous B. unwilling C. confident D. grateful
66. A. one B. other C. rest D. next

There are different stories about how the festival started. But 77 (probable) it was because of the natural worship( 崇 拜 ) of fire by the Yi people. Fire was important since their ancestors could use it to bring light as well as 78 (warm) and cooked food. One Yi ethnic proverb says, “Everything you eat must ‘see’ fire.” This is due to 79 old practice. Before bringing meat into the home from the outside, a small fire must first be lit outside and the meat should be smoked on the fire. In farming, fire was used 80 (light) piles of branches and leaves, 81 were later buried in the ground.
The Yi people used to celebrate the harvest, as a way to pray for a good harvest and drive away evil from their homes and farmland. Today it has become a 82 (society) event where people come together to light torches and join in various 83 (activity) such
as building bonfires, horse racing, wrestling, bullfighting and beauty contests. The festival also provides people 84 a chance to expand their circle of friends.

【答案】Dear Miss Kind,
I am Li Hua, a senior one student. With the intention of settling a disagreement between my parents and me, I am writing to enquire of you what I am supposed to do.
With the winter vacation approaching, I have been planning to find a part-time job. However, I find myself trapped in the situation where my parents disapprove of my plan and insist that I should spend more time studying instead of wasting precious time on a job. I think, on the contrary, that taking a job will bring me not only extra pocket money but also practical life skills. That is where our disagreement lies. Would you please offer me some constructive suggestions on what to do with their opposition
I would appreciate it if you could help me out. Looking forward to your reply.
Yours,
Li Hua

Good afternoon, students. This is your headmaster speaking. Firstly, I’d like to welcome you all back. I hope this will be another excellent school year.
Many changes have taken place at the school over the summer. As well as a new group of students, we are also welcoming some new members of staff: Mrs. Hook, who will be teaching physics; Miss Chang, the new head of the English literature department and our new boys P.E. coach, Mr. Walden.
You will also notice that several changes to the school puter classes will now take place in the new technology center, located behind the mathematics building. The old computer rooms are now a part of the library, which is now much bigger, and contains thousands of new books. The school meeting hall has been much improved, and we now have a proper stage to perform concerts and plays.
Despite all these changes, the school rules remain the same. Be respectful, be on time, and always do your best. Thank you.
