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.
21. 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.
22. What do we know about the Grand Canyon National Park

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, warm.
While growing up, I began to realize outside of our region, southerners were often dismissed 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 justifying 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.
24. What made the author want to leave her hometown
A. Appeal of convenience in cities.
B. Her dream of becoming a writer.
C. Outside prejudice against southerners.
D. Her desire for the northern accent.
25. How did the author feel about the mistake of Emily’s mother
A Upset. B. Pleased. C. Ashamed. D. Surprised.
26. Why on earth did the author try 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-dignity.
27. What message does the text want to convey
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.
【答案】24. C 25. B 26. A 27. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述作者因为别人的偏见以及追求更好的生活改变自己的口音，但后来才意识到这样做抹杀了自己身份的一部分，也明白了要坚守本根。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的“While growing up, I began to realize outside of our region, southerners were often dismissed 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.(在成长过程中，我开始意识到，在我们的地区之外，南方人经常被认为是没有文化和无知的。我准备离开我在西田纳西州的小镇，开始新的生活，并在一些遥远的城市抓住大好机会)”可知，作者决定离开南部的家乡是因为其他人认为南方人没文化、无知，即外部对南方人的偏见。故选C。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段的“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.(在我们的友谊之初，她妈妈问我来自哪里，以为是北方的某个地方。然后我觉得我的努力得到了回报，甚至想忽略这个错误)”推知，当被Emily的妈妈误会来自北方时，作者是非常开心的。故选B。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段的“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. (我担心这会使我失去成为著名杂志作家的资格。我就得少说些“乡村”了。所以我抹杀了自己身份的一部分)”，第三段的“She was determined to work for the student newspaper, which was where I spent most of my waking hours(她决心为校报工作，而我醒着的大部分时间都在那里度过的)”以及倒数第二段的“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. (我建议她更像我，隐藏她标志性的曼彻斯特口音。在我们的大学生活中，我经常通过取笑她的元音来强调这一点。我告诉自己，我是在帮她实现当记者的梦想)”可知，作者通过改变自己的口音获得了在校报工作的机会。由此推知，作者努力改变Emily的口音是为了证明自己是对的，即改变南方口音就有可能获得好工作。故选A。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文，并结合第二段的“I’m ashamed of it, but I’m more ashamed that I tried to kill that part of someone else-change Emily’s accent.(我很惭愧，但我更惭愧的是我试图抹杀别人的那部分——改变艾米丽的口音)”和最后一段“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. (卡罗琳奶奶过去常对我说：“女孩，别忘了你来自哪里。”现在我真的明白了。许多事情已经从记忆中消失了，但这件事却以令人不安的清晰印象留在了我的脑海中)”可知，文章想要传达的信息是：坚守本根。故选A。
C
It’s normal for teens to want to stay connected with friends and 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 wake to spend all night on social media (社会媒体). 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 office.
The blue light produced by cell phones and computers makes the brain to stay awake, so it's easy to see why a teen might be up all night. A study in 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 cycle, 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 sooner rather than later.
“Providing access (使用机会) to social media is a favor that children can earn and also lose,” Janie Feldman, an expert who treats sleep disorders (紊乱), reminds parents, “The bad effect is clear. So teens and parents should discuss and agree on its use, timing and access. When teenagers agree to the rules, it’s easier for parents to control how much time they use the phones or computers.”
28. What does the underlined part “night owls” in paragraph 1 refer to
A. Girls often called to office.
B. Teens who stay up late on social media.
C. Teens who are busy with their homework at night.
D. Boys regularly waking in the middle of the night.
29. 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.
30. What suggestion does Janie Feldman give to parents
A Making rules about media access together with their children.
B. Getting their children to do homework through computers.
C. Encouraging their children to stay connected with online friends.
D. Stopping their children from using cell phones.
31. What is the main idea of the text
A. Deep sleep makes a big difference to brain development.
B. Kids are trying to win back the trust of their parents.
C. Social media may have a bad effect on all kinds of people.
D. Social media may cause teens’ sleep disorders.
【答案】28. B 29. A 30. A 31. D
【解析】
【分析】本文是说明文。《青年研究杂志》最近发表的一项新研究表明，12~15岁的青少年中有1/5的人经常熬夜，整夜的时间都花在社交媒体上。这会影响到青少年的大脑发育和他们的学习成绩。父母应该和青少年一起制订关于社交媒体的使用时间和使用权利的规则。
【28题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段“one in five teens from 12 to 15 regularly wake to spend all night on social media”可知，“night owls”是指熬夜不睡觉、整夜的时间都花在社交媒体上的青少年。故选B项。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第2段“when teens saw large numbers of “likes” on their posts, they stayed awake with excitement”可知，当青少年看到自己的帖子上有大量的“赞”时，他们会因为兴奋而无法入睡。故选A项。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据第3段“parents need to set rules”第4段“teens and parents should discuss and agree on its use, timing and access”可知，Janie Feldman建议父母应该和孩子一起讨论和商定使用社交媒体的一些规则，如使用时间和使用权利等。故选A项。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。本文主要介绍了一项新的研究，论证了很多青少年经常熬夜、整夜的时间都花在社交媒体上。手机和电脑产生的蓝光使大脑保持清醒，使他们难以入睡。因此文章是关于社交媒体和青少年睡眠障碍的关系，社交媒体可能会引起青少年睡眠障碍。故选D项。
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 new 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 damns 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.”

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. ____36____ Here are some tips on how to reduce food waste.
Learn to store food. Not sure how to keep those greens from wilting 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 ____37____
Use it all. ____38____ 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!
____39____ 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. The best-before date has nothing to do with the safety of the food. ____40____ 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.
A. Pick the “funny looking” food.
B. This will save you time in the long run.
C. Check out Local Produce Storage Guide online.
D. Keep a “need to eat” list everyday in your daily life.
E. Therefore, food waste is a serious problem that needs our attention.
F. It refers to flavour and nutritional value, which is of great help to your body.
G. You often remove a part of whatever food you’ re cooking with, but often those food items can be saved.
【答案】36. E 37. C 38. G 39. A 40. F
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一些减少食物浪费的好方法。
【36题详解】
上文“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.(虽然贫困社区的许多人遭受食物短缺，但世界其他地区却浪费了大量食物)”说明食物分配不均及浪费严重的现象，E项“Therefore, food waste is a serious problem that needs our attention.(因此，食物浪费是一个需要我们重视的严重问题)”承接上文说明食物浪费是一个需要我们重视的问题。并且引出下文“Here are some tips on how to reduce food waste.(这里有一些关于如何减少食物浪费的建议)”减少食物浪费的建议，衔接恰当。故选E项。
【37题详解】
上文“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 (不能让你的西红柿保持新鲜超过一两天 在食物储存方面做些研究，你会得到回报的。不知道从哪里开始？)”说明了学习食物储存的重要性。C项“Check out Local Produce Storage Guide online.(在线查看本地产品存储指南)”构成上文“Not sure where to start ”的答案，衔接恰当。故选C项。
【38题详解】
下文“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!(例如，把胡萝卜和土豆的皮留下(皮实际上有大量宝贵的营养！)，把甜菜叶留作沙拉，不要扔掉橙子的外皮！)”说明了平时我们使用食材时不用的那些外皮其实都是可以使用的。G项“You often remove a part of whatever food you’ re cooking with, but often those food items can be saved.(你经常会把正在烹饪的食物的一部分去掉，但通常这些食物是可以保存下来的)”可概括下文举例的内容，并照应上文“Use it all.(全部用完)”，将食材物尽其用，不要浪费，衔接恰当。故选G项。
【39题详解】
下文“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.(许多水果和蔬菜因为不够“漂亮”而被扔掉。购买不同形状、大小或颜色的食物有助于消耗掉可能被丢弃的食物)”说明作者建议购买那些不够“漂亮”的食物，有助于减少它们被丢弃的可能性。A项“Pick the “funny looking” food.(选择“看起来滑稽”的食物)”可总结本段内容。故选A项。
【40题详解】
上文“The best-before date has nothing to do with the safety of the food.(最佳食用日期与食品的安全性无关)”指出了最佳食用日期与食品的安全性没有关系，F项“It refers to flavour and nutritional value, which is of great help to your body.(它指的是味道和营养价值，这对你的身体有很大的帮助)”衔接上文，具体解释最佳食用日期的含义，并引出下文“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.(因此，虽然味道可能不那么好，但许多食品在超过最佳食用日期后的许多天内仍然可以安全食用)”进一步说明最佳食用日期与食品的安全性没有关系。故选F项。

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.
21. 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.
22. What do we know about the Grand Canyon National Park
A. We can have a poor view of the South Rim there. B. It lies in an area with rolling steam and hot springs.
C. There is a slight decline in visitor numbers in winter. D. The Bright Angel Trail is challenging in cold weather.
23. 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, warm.
While growing up, I began to realize outside of our region, southerners were often dismissed 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 justifying 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.
24. What made the author want to leave her hometown
A. Appeal of convenience in cities.
B. Her dream of becoming a writer.
C. Outside prejudice against southerners.
D. Her desire for the northern accent.
25. How did the author feel about the mistake of Emily’s mother
A. Upset. B. Pleased. C. Ashamed. D. Surprised.
26. Why on earth did the author try 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-dignity.
27. What message does the text want to convey
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 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 wake to spend all night on social media (社会媒体). 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 office.
The blue light produced by cell phones and computers makes the brain to stay awake, so it's easy to see why a teen might be up all night. A study in 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 cycle, 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 sooner rather than later.
“Providing access (使用机会) to social media is a favor that children can earn and also lose,” Janie Feldman, an expert who treats sleep disorders (紊乱), reminds parents, “The bad effect is clear. So teens and parents should discuss and agree on its use, timing and access. When teenagers agree to the rules, it’s easier for parents to control how much time they use the phones or computers.”
28. What does the underlined part “night owls” in paragraph 1 refer to
A. Girls often called to office.
B. Teens who stay up late on social media.
C. Teens who are busy with their homework at night.
D. Boys regularly waking in the middle of the night.
29. 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.
30. What suggestion does Janie Feldman give to parents
A. Making rules about media access together with their children.
B. Getting their children to do homework through computers.
C. Encouraging their children to stay connected with online friends.
D. Stopping their children from using cell phones.
31. What is the main idea of the text
A. Deep sleep makes a big difference to brain development.
B. Kids are trying to win back the trust of their parents.
C. Social media may have a bad effect on all kinds of people.
D. 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 new 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 damns 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.”
32. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 2
A. What a water battery is. B. How the project will work.
C. Why reservoirs are needed. D. What the clean energy future is.
33. What is the advantage of water batteries over their competitors
A. They can power Tesla’s cars.
B. They can store renewable sources.
C. The battery materials are easy to get.
D. The technology applied is a new breakthrough.
34. 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.
35. 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. ____36____ Here are some tips on how to reduce food waste.

Every Wednesday afternoon, for example, my mother ____42____ 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 ____43____.

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.
