Welcome to Olympic National Park!
The park is located in the western state of Washington and it covers more than 400,000 hectares. Each area of the park offers visitors something special. Here are some places to go.
Elwha Valley
The Elwha Valley is in the central part of the park. It is the Olympic Peninsula’s largest watershed (分水岭). Long ago, the rivers in this area held the most salmon (鲑鱼) outside of Alaska. In the 1920s, a growing community of settlers built two hydroelectric (水力发电) dams to provide energy for the local economy. The dams created many problems for the river. They decreased the water in the rivers, which caused the fish population in the area to decrease. This affected the other animals that depended on fish for food.
The community later decided to take some measures to solve these problems. Today, the Elwha River is the site of one of the largest ecosystem restoration projects in National Park Service history.
Hurricane Ridge
Hurricane Ridge is a mountain area in the northern part of the park. It is easy to enter, and provides incredible views of the Olympic Mountains.
The ridge has many hiking paths. In winter, people come here to ski. They also come here to take part in other fun winter activities, like sledding and snowboarding.
Hurricane Ridge usually has snow from December through the end of March. Visitors must be prepared for icy roads and severe weather.
The Coast
The westernmost part of the park is Pacific coastline. Olympic National Park has many breathtaking beaches.
Rialto Beach is known for its tall seastacks (海蚀柱). These formations are tall towers of rock standing in the sea. Kalaloch Beach is known for its white sand. It also has three national wildlife refuges, which protect the area’s bird and fish species.
The coastline areas offer hiking and camping. They are some of the most popular places in the park.
1. What happened to the Elwha River after the two dams were built
A. Local settlers had enough energy.
B. Local settlers made more money.
C. The Elwha Valley was formed.
D. The ecosystem was greatly affected.
2. Which place is most suitable for winter activities
A. Elwha Valley B. Hurricane Ridge
C. Rialto Beach D. Kalaloch Beach
3. What’s the purpose of the passage
A. To attract visitors to the park,
B. To introduce the parkas history.
C. To show the variety of the park.
D. To stress the importance of ecosystem.
【答案】1. D 2. B 3. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了奥林匹克国家公园里的几个好去处。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据Elwha Valley中的句子“The dams created many problems for the river. They decreased the water in the rivers, which caused the fish population in the area to decrease. This affected the other animals that depended on fish for food.（水坝给河流造成了许多问题。他们减少了河里的水量，导致该地区的鱼类数量减少。这影响了其他以鱼为食的动物。）”可知，在两座水坝建成后，the Elwha River生态系统受到了极大的影响。故选D。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据Hurricane Ridge中的句子“The ridge has many hiking paths. In winter, people come here to ski. They also come here to take part in other fun winter activities, like sledding and snowboarding.（山脊上有许多徒步小径。冬天，人们来这里滑雪。他们也来这里参加其他有趣的冬季活动，如雪橇和单板滑雪）”可知，Hurricane Ridge最适合冬天的活动。故选B。

Nowadays everybody seems to think that they know English. Many people speak it but few speak it really well. Practice is necessary in speaking English well.
Reading is also one of the things that will help you to speak English better. Read whenever you can and whatever you like! Read papers and Internet sites that you like in English every day. Then, you will see that the number of known words is increasing and you are able to speak with more skills. Then you will have made the foundations and a good basis of English. It is not good to stop and get stuck there.
Going to England or an English-speaking country is a good choice, but many people cannot afford it. If you cannot go, reading and speaking with your friends will also help you to practice your English. However, I think it is very good to visit some English-speaking country to see and test your knowledge in everyday life. You will understand the everyday usage of the language in its natural environment. There your level of English is going to improve even faster. Your ability to speak English is better. Nothing can match the excitement and happiness when a native speaker tells you that your English is very good!
Finally, in order to speak English well, you must be persistent and do it every day. It is like playing the piano. Pianists play it every day and so should you. Include English in your life and you will see where it is going. Practice, Practice! Read, write and improve your language skills and you are on your way when you will be able to speak it with more and more confidence!

C
“Being a sports fan is a very psychologically healthy activity,” says Daniel Warm, professor at Murray State University whose research program centers on the psychology of sport fandom(运动迷). Fandom connects us to other like-minded people, which satisfies our human need for belonging, he says.
These relationships are significant: People who identify as sports fans have higher levels of self-esteem, lower levels of loneliness and tend to be more satisfied with their lives compared to those who aren’t interested in sports, Wann says. Fans tend to have more access to social support, help and resources as well. Research suggests that when people have support from their communities, they have better health.
Beyond bonding, fans get to enjoy the psychological benefits of winning, even if they have nothing to do with the players or games.
Of course, teams sometimes lose. Prior to a sporting event, there’s at least a 50-50 chance that you’re going to be disappointed in your outcome.
So, why do people continue to put their faith behind teams that tend to lose People who feel a strong psychological connection to a team are more likely to root for a team when they’re having a losing season.
“Sports random has nothing to do with the outcome of a game,” Warm says. For example, if a pizza restaurant continually got your order wrong, you’d likely switch to a more reliable parlor(店铺). But because being a fan is so central to people’s identities, people are willing to accept defeat and continue to be loyal to a team.
Being part of a fan community can also help people cope with losses. A 2019 study found that watching a football game with other fans helps to relieve the negative psychological effects of losing. For fans of the losing team, sharing the pain may have protected them from losing self-esteem.
“There are other things that random brings with it above and beyond the ability to enjoy the team’s successes,” Warm says. Watching sports can be a way to relieve stress, or spend time with family, he says.
To that end, some surveys suggest that activities like March Madness pools can reduce productivity. Any sort of fandom can be distracting, but Warm says that talking about sports at work and spending time with people who share a common interest can make people more excited to go to work.
However, if you find you’re consuming so much sports content that your work is suffering, or it’s impacting your interpersonal relationships, then it can be a sign you should tone it down, he adds.
8. What is the characteristic sports fans generally bear
A. Higher sense of self-worth. B. Worse health conditions.
C. Being ready to help others. D. Various means of support.
9. Why do fans continue to support teams that tend to lose
A. Fans are forced to be loyal to teams.
B. Fans are good at sharing pains with teams.
C. Fans are brave enough to accept losses.
D. Fans own a great sense of identity and belonging.
10. Which is the effect of talking about sports at work
A. Leading to distraction.
B. Making people too excited to go to work.
C. Increasing people’s productivity.
D. Impacting interpersonal relationships.
11. What is this passage most likely from
A. A poster. B. A textbook.
C. A science fiction. D. A magazine.
【答案】8. A 9. D 10. C 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。爱好体育是非常有益于心理健康的，而与不爱好体育运动的人相比，体育迷的自尊心更高，对生活满意度更高。
【详解】1.细节理解题。根据第二段“People who identify as sports fans have higher levels of self-esteem, lower levels of loneliness and tend to be more satisfied with their lives compared to those who aren’t interested in sports(与那些对体育不感兴趣的人相比，那些认为自己是体育迷的人有更高的自尊心，更低的孤独感，并且对自己的生活更加满意)”可知，体育爱好者的一般特点是：体育爱好者自尊心程度更高，孤独感更低，对生活现状更满意，即有更高的自我价值感。故选A。
2.细节理解题。由第五段“So, why do people continue to put their faith behind teams that tend to lose People who feel a strong psychological connection to a team are more likely to root for a team when they’re having a losing season.(那么，为什么人们继续把他们的信念放在那些倾向于输球的球队身上呢？当球队输球的时候，那些与球队有强烈心理联系的人更有可能支持他们)”及第六段中“But because being a fan is so central to people’s identities, people are willing to accept defeat and continue to be loyal to a team.(但是，因为作为一个球迷是人们身份的核心，人们愿意接受失败，并继续忠于一支球队。)”可知，体育迷和球队之间存在心理联系，球迷是人们身份的核心，所以人们愿意接受失败，并继续忠于一个球队，即粉丝们拥有强烈的认同感和归属感。故选D。
3.细节理解题。由文章倒数第二段“...but Wann says that talking about sports at work and spending time with people who share a common interest can make people more excited to go to work.(但是Warm说，在工作中谈论体育运动和花时间与有共同兴趣的人在一起会使人们更加兴奋地去工作。)”可知，在工作中谈论体育运动可以让人们更愿意去工作，提高工作效率。故选C。
4.推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中““Being a sports fan is a very psychologically healthy activity,” says Daniel Warm, professor at Murray State University whose research program centers on the psychology of sport fandom(运动迷).(“成为一名体育迷是一项非常有益于心理健康的活动，”莫瑞州立大学教授丹尼尔·沃姆说，他的研究项目主要集中在体育迷的心理上。)”可知，本文主要一项研究表明，爱好体育是非常有益于心理健康的。由此可推知，文章选自“杂志”更合理，故选D。
D
Gold Coast family holidays are always great fun whether you are from Australia or from abroad. There are beautiful beaches, adventure parks, nature parks and so much more.
There are so many sights to see here It is a pity to drive in a car and you'll miss a great part of it. Australia is home to many animals and birds that can only be seen when moving slowly and going into the areas that they live.
When you are on a bicycle, you have the advantage of being able to stop whenever you want to see an interesting animal or bird that you have never seen before. It is a quieter mode(方式) of transportation as well, so you might even be able to take a picture. When you are on the beach, you can breathe that clean air and view the beauty of the water and sand. It is a totally different experience from either simply sunbathing or passing it in a car.
There are many choices of hiring a bicycle to experience the Gold Coast attractions. There are stores that will fit a bike perfectly to your size. These bikes for both adults and children are in many styles and colors to please any taste. If you have ever wanted to try a tandem bike (双人单车), now is your chance, because they have those too.
A bicycle hire on Gold Coast is something that everyone should try at least once. This is a wonderful chance for anyone who likes to cycle and it is also a cheap way to travel with your family.
12. You'd better not drive in a car on Gold Coast because .
A. you will break the traffic rules
B. you will cause much noise

【答案】12. C 13. D 14. B 15. A
【解析】
【分析】文章是说明文。主要介绍了澳大利亚黄金海岸的旅游景点，在那里，骑自行车游览是一大特色，得到了作者的大力推荐。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“There are so many sights to see here. It is a pity to drive in a car and you’ll miss a great part of it.”可知，澳大利亚黄金海岸有许多景点，开车去的话，会错过许多的美景。因此你最好不要开车去，因为你不能很好的欣赏美丽的风景。故选C。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“...being able to stop whenever you want to see an interesting animal or bird...be able to take a picture”(无论你什么时候想看一个有趣的动物或一只鸟你都可以停下来，你可以拍照)可知，A、C正确；根据最后一段的“a cheap way to travel”可知，B正确；根据第三段的“It is a totally different experience from either simply sunbathing or passing it in a car.”(骑自行车游览和单纯的日光浴及开车是完全不一样的经历)可知，D项骑自行车是做日光浴的好方法，是错误的，故选D。
【14题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段“There are many choices of hiring a bicycle...These bikes for both adults and children are in many styles and colors...try a tandem bike”(租赁自行车有很多选择，成年人和孩子们的自行车有很多样式和颜色)，因此推断本段主要介绍的是商店里自行车的种类，故选B。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“everyone should try at least once...a wonderful chance...(每个人都应当尝试一次……一个极好的机会)”可推断，对于自行车租赁，作者是极力推荐的，故选A。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了无声地震是什么样的地震以及科学家为预测这种地震所做的研究。
【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：地震使岛屿的西部震动了，引起了海啸。分析句子可知，此空应填非谓语，a big earthquake与cause为主动关系，故用现在分词形式作状语。故填causing。
【37题详解】
考查名词单复数。句意：那堵水墙倾泻到岸上，摧毁了城镇，夺走了成千上万的生命。由thousands of 可知，此处life应用复数形式lives。故填lives。
【38题详解】
考查时态。句意：根据记录，那次地震始于1829年，持续了32年，但没有人感到一丝震动。空处和lasted是并列的谓语动词，由 in 1829可知，句子描述过去发生的事，应用一般过去时。故填started。
【39题详解】
考查时态和语态。句意：这种缓慢移动的地震被称为“无声地震”，因为没有仪器能够发现它们。空处在主句中做谓语，句子描述的是客观事实，应用一般现在时，且主语This kind of slow-moving earthquake 和动词call之间是被动关系，应用一般现在时的被动，谓语用单数。故填is called。
【40题详解】
考查介词。句意：由于过去二十年 GPS 技术的进步，科学家们才开始发现它们。because of是固定搭配，意为“因为”，是介词短语，后面接名词，代词或动名词，而because是连词，后面接句子，该空后是名词短语，应用because of。故填of。
【41题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：为了弄清楚地下到底发生了什么，科学家们需要研究地震。空处是非谓语动词做状语，表示目的，且动词find和主语scientists是主动关系，应用动词不定式做状语，且首字母应大写。故填To find。
【42题详解】
考查固定搭配。句意：每一次地震，无论大小，都可以告诉科学家未来地面会震动多大。分析句子可知，这里考查either...or是固定搭配，意为“或者……或者……”。故填or。
【43题详解】
考查定语从句。句意： 科学家们只需要准备好研究所有地震。空处引导限制性定语从句，先行词为earthquakes，指物，在定语从句中做主语，且先行词前由all来修饰，只能用关系代词that来引导。故填that。
【44题详解】
考查冠词。句意：这些无声的地震发生在世界各地。分析句子可知，这里考查all over the world，是固定搭配，意为“世界各地”。故填the。
【45题详解】
考查副词。句意：通过研究无声地震，科学家们希望更好地了解常规地震，并有可能预测它们。动词predict应用副词possibly来修饰，意为“可能地”。故填possibly。
第二节单句语法填空(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分)
46. I’m__________(shock) at his determined attitude towards this matter．(所给词的适当形式填空)

47. Do you know the man ________is talking with your mother （用适当的词填空）
【答案】who##that
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句。句意：你认识那个跟你妈妈说话的人吗？分析句子结构和意思可知，________ is talking with your mother是限制性定语从句，先行词the man指人，从句缺少主语，用关系代词who/that引导。故填who/that。
48. Around 540 million people__________(affect) by second hand smoke, which causes 100，000 deaths per year．(所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】are affected
【解析】
【详解】考查被动语态和主谓一致。句意：大约5.4亿人受到二手烟的影响，每年造成10万人死亡。根据时间状语per year和空后by secondhand smoke可知，空处谓语动词需用一般现在时态的被动语态：be done，主语是复数people，所以空处be动词需用are。故填are affected。
49. Parents and coaches are________(power) teachers because children usually look up to them. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】powerful
【解析】
【详解】考查形容词。句意：父母和教练是有影响力的老师，因为孩子们通常都尊敬他们。修饰名词teachers ，需用形容词作定语。根据句意，故填powerful。
50. Students are requested______ (go) to work in poor mountain areas after graduating from university. （所给单词适当形式填空）
【答案】to go
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：学生被要求大学毕业后到贫困山区工作。request sb. to do sth.“要求某人做某事”。主语Students 与request之间为被动关系，所以用被动语态，此处使用不定式做主语补足语。故填to go。

53. You should book your flight about two or three weeks ________advance so that you can enjoy a lower price.(用适当的词填空)
【答案】in
【解析】
【详解】考查介词。句意：你应该提前两到三周预订你的航班，这样你可以享受更低的价格。分析句子可知，此处考查固定短语in advance，意为“提前”，介词短语作状语，此处应用介词in。故填in。
54. The campsite provided only_________ (base) facilities. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】basic
【解析】
【详解】考查形容词。句意：这个营地只提供了基本的设施。设空处修饰名词 facilities，应用形容词作定语，故填basic。

【答案】description
【解析】
【详解】考查名词。句意：他准确地描述了他丢失的那条裤子。空前是形容词exact，所以空处填名词，作动词的宾语。此处是“a(n)+adj. +n. +(of)”结构，describe的名词形式description，表示“描述，说明”。故填description。
56. The vase has a long history _________ (date) back to more than 1,000 years ago. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】dating
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：这个花瓶有着悠久的历史，可以追溯到一千多年前。根据提示词可知，此处用短语date back to表示“追溯到”，因为此短语无被动语态，所以用现在分词形式作后置定语修饰history。故填dating。
57. We need to start thinking _________ (globe), especially in today’s rapidly changing world. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】globally
【解析】
【详解】考查副词。句意：我们需要开始放眼全球，尤其是在当今瞬息万变的世界。分析句子结构可知，空处需用副词作状语修饰空前动词think；globe对应的副词为globally“全球地”。故填globally。

【答案】application
【解析】
【详解】考查名词。句意：他申请这个职位被拒绝了。分析句子可知，空处被His修饰，作句子的主语，结合“for the position”可知，名词application“申请”符合题意，表示申请这个职位，结合下文的has，用单数。故填application。

Welcome to Olympic National Park!
The park is located in the western state of Washington and it covers more than 400,000 hectares. Each area of the park offers visitors something special. Here are some places to go.
Elwha Valley
The Elwha Valley is in the central part of the park. It is the Olympic Peninsula’s largest watershed (分水岭). Long ago, the rivers in this area held the most salmon (鲑鱼) outside of Alaska. In the 1920s, a growing community of settlers built two hydroelectric (水力发电) dams to provide energy for the local economy. The dams created many problems for the river. They decreased the water in the rivers, which caused the fish population in the area to decrease. This affected the other animals that depended on fish for food.
The community later decided to take some measures to solve these problems. Today, the Elwha River is the site of one of the largest ecosystem restoration projects in National Park Service history.
Hurricane Ridge
Hurricane Ridge is a mountain area in the northern part of the park. It is easy to enter, and provides incredible views of the Olympic Mountains.
The ridge has many hiking paths. In winter, people come here to ski. They also come here to take part in other fun winter activities, like sledding and snowboarding.
Hurricane Ridge usually has snow from December through the end of March. Visitors must be prepared for icy roads and severe weather.
The Coast
The westernmost part of the park is Pacific coastline. Olympic National Park has many breathtaking beaches.
Rialto Beach is known for its tall seastacks (海蚀柱). These formations are tall towers of rock standing in the sea. Kalaloch Beach is known for its white sand. It also has three national wildlife refuges, which protect the area’s bird and fish species.
The coastline areas offer hiking and camping. They are some of the most popular places in the park.
1. What happened to the Elwha River after the two dams were built
A Local settlers had enough energy.
B. Local settlers made more money.
C. The Elwha Valley was formed.
D. The ecosystem was greatly affected.
2. Which place is most suitable for winter activities
A. Elwha Valley B. Hurricane Ridge
C. Rialto Beach D. Kalaloch Beach
3. What’s the purpose of the passage
A. To attract visitors to the park,
B. To introduce the parkas history.
C. To show the variety of the park.
D. To stress the importance of ecosystem.

Nowadays everybody seems to think that they know English. Many people speak it but few speak it really well. Practice is necessary in speaking English well.
Reading is also one of the things that will help you to speak English better. Read whenever you can and whatever you like! Read papers and Internet sites that you like in English every day. Then, you will see that the number of known words is increasing and you are able to speak with more skills. Then you will have made the foundations and a good basis of English. It is not good to stop and get stuck there.
Going to England or an English-speaking country is a good choice, but many people cannot afford it. If you cannot go, reading and speaking with your friends will also help you to practice your English. However, I think it is very good to visit some English-speaking country to see and test your knowledge in everyday life. You will understand the everyday usage of the language in its natural environment. There your level of English is going to improve even faster. Your ability to speak English is better. Nothing can match the excitement and happiness when a native speaker tells you that your English is very good!
Finally, in order to speak English well, you must be persistent and do it every day. It is like playing the piano. Pianists play it every day and so should you. Include English in your life and you will see where it is going. Practice, Practice! Read, write and improve your language skills and you are on your way when you will be able to speak it with more and more confidence!

“Being a sports fan is a very psychologically healthy activity,” says Daniel Warm, professor at Murray State University whose research program centers on the psychology of sport fandom(运动迷). Fandom connects us to other like-minded people, which satisfies our human need for belonging, he says.
These relationships are significant: People who identify as sports fans have higher levels of self-esteem, lower levels of loneliness and tend to be more satisfied with their lives compared to those who aren’t interested in sports, Wann says. Fans tend to have more access to social support, help and resources as well. Research suggests that when people have support from their communities, they have better health.
Beyond bonding, fans get to enjoy the psychological benefits of winning, even if they have nothing to do with the players or games.
Of course, teams sometimes lose. Prior to a sporting event, there’s at least a 50-50 chance that you’re going to be disappointed in your outcome.
So, why do people continue to put their faith behind teams that tend to lose People who feel a strong psychological connection to a team are more likely to root for a team when they’re having a losing season.
“Sports random has nothing to do with the outcome of a game,” Warm says. For example, if a pizza restaurant continually got your order wrong, you’d likely switch to a more reliable parlor(店铺). But because being a fan is so central to people’s identities, people are willing to accept defeat and continue to be loyal to a team.
Being part of a fan community can also help people cope with losses. A 2019 study found that watching a football game with other fans helps to relieve the negative psychological effects of losing. For fans of the losing team, sharing the pain may have protected them from losing self-esteem.
“There are other things that random brings with it above and beyond the ability to enjoy the team’s successes,” Warm says. Watching sports can be a way to relieve stress, or spend time with family, he says.
To that end, some surveys suggest that activities like March Madness pools can reduce productivity. Any sort of fandom can be distracting, but Warm says that talking about sports at work and spending time with people who share a common interest can make people more excited to go to work.
However, if you find you’re consuming so much sports content that your work is suffering, or it’s impacting your interpersonal relationships, then it can be a sign you should tone it down, he adds.
8. What is the characteristic sports fans generally bear
A. Higher sense of self-worth. B. Worse health conditions.
C. Being ready to help others. D. Various means of support.
9. Why do fans continue to support teams that tend to lose
A. Fans are forced to be loyal to teams.
B. Fans are good at sharing pains with teams.
C. Fans are brave enough to accept losses.
D. Fans own a great sense of identity and belonging.
10 Which is the effect of talking about sports at work
A. Leading to distraction.
B. Making people too excited to go to work.
C. Increasing people’s productivity.
D. Impacting interpersonal relationships.
11. What is this passage most likely from
A. A poster. B. A textbook.
C. A science fiction. D. A magazine.
D
Gold Coast family holidays are always great fun whether you are from Australia or from abroad. There are beautiful beaches, adventure parks, nature parks and so much more.

It is a totally different experience from either simply sunbathing or passing it in a car.

These bikes for both adults and children are in many styles and colors to please any taste. If you have ever wanted to try a tandem bike (双人单车), now is your chance, because they have those too.
A bicycle hire on Gold Coast is something that everyone should try at least once. This is a wonderful chance for anyone who likes to cycle and it is also a cheap way to travel with your family.
