Four of the World’s Greatest National Parks
Komodo
Location: Indonesia
Area: 1,733km
Home to the world’s largest lizard (蜥蜴), the Komodo dragon, Komodo National Park is made up of 29 islands in the centre of the Indonesian archipelago (群岛). The park’s three main islands of Komodo, Rinca and Padar make ideal destinations for divers, as the surrounding coral reefs (珊瑚礁) support a vast amount of oceanic diversity. With over 1,000 species of fish, 260 species of coral, and countless sea animals, this is an ideal spot to swim with sharks, whales, dolphins and more.
Namib-Naukluft
Location: Namibia
Area: 49,768km
In the world’s oldest desert, the landscape moves. The golden dunes (沙丘) shift as winds blow and seasons pass. Visitors come to explore the dunes and it can be a real adventure. Jump in a 4x4 or hike across the sands on foot for a multi-day trail and you’ll soon find yourself deep in the Namibian wilderness. You’ll need a permit and doctor’s letter to take on the longer hikes, but one-day hikes give anyone a chance to see more of the Namib.
Tongariro
Location: New Zealand
Area: 795km
As New Zealand’s oldest national park, Tongariro National Park is home to three active volcanoes (火山). And here’s the Tongariro Alpine Crossing, a 19.4-kilometre hike that takes you across beautiful landscapes. This park also draws in skiers during the winter seasons. The biggest ski area, Whakapapa, covers 5.5km and has 15 lifts in all.
Teide
Location: Tenerife, Spain
Area: 190km
This park is home to Mount Teide, the highest peak in Spain. With a height of
3,718 metres, Mount Teide is also the third largest volcanic structure on the planet. Besides, Teide National Park possesses unique plants. The most unusual among the 139 recorded species is red bugloss, which has become the symbol of the park.
21. What can visitors do in Komodo National Park
A. Hike across the biggest ski area Whakapapa.

Steph put some flowers “borrowed” from her neighbour Mrs Robinson’s garden next to her cold breakfast and costly plates and took a photo. She wanted to brighten the colours on her picture. Choosing a filter (滤镜), she noticed TrueBeauty downloaded before. Her picture looked perfect with that filter. She posted it on the social media for her 15k followers, hoping they would wish to have the same life as she showed. Then she threw away the food now that it was cold.
Steph was surprised to get so few likes and so many negative comments. She looked again at the picture she had posted. Her picture showed a horrible breakfast with flies all over them and the flowers were dead. She tried to delete (删除) the photo, but she couldn’t. Just then, she received a message. Steph read:
Dear User, I know that each of you truly cares about showing yourself. Are you as beautiful on the inside as on the outside If you want your pictures to show the real you, it’s time to be as beautiful in real life as on your social media. Love, True Beauty PS. You can’t remove the filter or delete the pictures you posted using it. After the first time you use TrueBeauty, it will change all your photos from that moment on!
Steph made her account private to hide the ugly pictures. She didn’t want to do anything if she couldn’t post photos of her life. With nothing to do, she went downstairs, past Mrs Robinson’s garden. She noticed the smell of the flowers for the
first time. Lovely! Then she saw Mrs Robinson watering the plants. She offered to help. A couple of hours later, they were done with the work. Steph had enjoyed herself a lot. They took a picture, standing together in front of the roses and smiling.
Later that evening Steph looked at the picture on her phone. She changed the colours a little bit. The roses looked beautiful anyway, with or without any changes. Nothing could improve the smiles on her and Mrs Robinson’s faces. A really beautiful picture! She posted this picture. It looked exactly the same online! She made her account public again and added some text to the photo: Beauty in the garden.
24. Why did Steph post the filtered picture online
A. To show off her life. B. To try out a new filter.
C. To share her tasty breakfast. D. To teach photography skills.
25. What can we learn about TrueBeauty
A. It improves the ugly pictures. B. It calls on us to behave honestly.
C. It advises us to hide comments. D. It cares about its users’ feelings.
26. How did Steph feel about gardening with Mrs Robinson

27. What would the author most possibly write next

C. Steph learned to improve her appreciation of beauty.
D. Steph inspired her followers to value their inner self.

For many years, David James, a researcher studying insects at Washington State University, had a strong desire to study the migration patterns of West Coast monarch butterflies . However, it was difficult to track their route because the populations are too small to follow. Typically, only one out of every 200 tagged（加标签）monarchs is recovered at the end of their journey, making it unlikely to find enough butterflies in the wild to tag. Understanding their migration route is important for conservation efforts, but James had no means to determine it until he received an unexpected phone call from Washington State Penitentiary(监狱)in Walla Walla.
The prison was looking for new activities to enhance the mental well-being(健康) of those serving long-term sentences. James collaborated(合作)with the prisoners to raise monarch butterflies, observing their complete transformation process. Once the adult butterflies were ready, they were tagged and released from the prison. Over a span of five years, nearly 10,000 monarchs flew from the facility. In other regions of Washington, Oregon, and Idaho, researchers released a few thousand more.
The tags on the butterflies included email addresses, and shortly after the first butterflies took flight, James started receiving messages from people who had spotted them. The reports confirmed(确认)that the butterflies spent their winter in coastal California. Twelve of them were found at Lighthouse Field State Beach in Santa Cruz, while several others made their way to Bolinas and Morro Bay.
This research not only helps scientists identify suitable locations to plant milkweed and other essential vegetation for the West Coast monarch butterfly’s life cycle but also revealed a compassionate(同情心的)side among some of the prisoners. “They were genuinely concerned about causing harm to the butterflies,” James recalls. Witnessing the transformation of the monarch butterflies also had an impact on the prisoners. “This butterfly changed,” prisoners told James, “and maybe we can change too.”
28.What was the main challenge faced by David James in his study
A.The small population size of the butterflies.
B.The lack of suitable tagging equipment.
C.The difficulty in locating the butterflies’ wintering grounds.
D.The resistance from the prison authorities.
29.Why did James work with prisoners from Washington State Penitentiary
A.To raise awareness about the importance of monarch butterflies.
B.To provide the prisoners with a new activity for mental health improvement.
C.To study the behavior of monarch butterflies in a controlled environment.
D.To train the prisoners in butterfly tagging techniques.
30.Why are the butterflies tagged before being released
A.To guarantee their safety. B.To enable them to fly longer distances.
C.To track their travel routes. D.To differentiate them from other species.
31.What is the last paragraph mainly about
A.The impact of the research. B.The findings of James’ study.
C.The release of the prisoners. D.The life cycle of the butterflies.
D
People’s first memories are all autobiographical (自传式的), or memories of significant experiences in their lives, and these events typically didn’t happen before the age of 2 or 3. In fact, most people can’t remember things from the first few years of their lives—a phenomenon researchers have called infantile amnesia（童年失忆症）.
However, research suggests that infants(婴儿)can form other kinds of memories. Within the first few days of life, infants can recall their own mother’s face and tell it from the face of a stranger. A few months later, infants can show that they remember lots of familiar faces by smiling most at the ones they see most often.
But if so, why do people experience infantile amnesia Though it still isn’t clear whether it’s because we can’t form autobiographical memories, or whether we just
have no way to retrieve (找回) them, scientists have a few guesses.
One is that autobiographical memories require you to have some sense of self. Researchers have tested this ability using a mirror recognition task called the rouge test. It involves marking a baby’s nose with a spot of red lipstick.Researchers then place the infant in front of a mirror. Infants younger than 18 months just smile at the baby in the reflection, not showing any evidence of recognizing themselves or the red mark on their face. Between 18 and 24 months, infants touch their own nose, even looking embarrassed, suggesting that they connect the red dot in the mirror with their own face and start to form some sense of self.
Another possible explanation is that because infants don’t have language until later in the second year of life, they can’t form descriptions about their own lives that they can later recall. Finally, the hippocampus（海马体）, which is the region of the brain that’s largely responsible for memory, isn’t fully developed in the infancy period.Scientists will continue to investigate how these factors might contribute to
infantile amnesia.
32.What can infants do in their first few months
A. Recognize familiar faces.
B. Remember a series of events.
C. Identify their own reflections.
D. Memorize their family members.
33.What does the rouge test show about babies between 18 and 24 months
A. They like looking in the mirror.
B. They ignore the marks on their faces.
C. They see their reflections as themselves.
D. They enjoy playing with their reflections.
34.What could be a cause of infantile amnesia according to the text
A. Infants’ lack of social skills.
B. Infants’ undeveloped hippocampus.
C. Infants’ inability to recall memories.
D. Infants’ unusual autobiographical memories.
35.Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. How do kids form their memories
B. When do babies start remembering
C. How can we retrieve lost memories
D. Why can’t we remember being a baby

How to Show Respect
Whether you’re talking to your best friend or a stranger, respecting them shows that you’re kind and considerate. Here are some easy ways to show respect in your life.
Listen to others.
Practice active listening to show you respect others. 36 Nod your head and ask follow-up questions to stay focused in the conversation. Even if you disagree, try to consider the point of view before responding.
Confirm (肯定) people’s opinions.
When you’re talking to someone, confirm their opinions in your own words. You can also mention their achievements to let them know you see how hard they’ve worked. You could say something like, “What you just said was really cool. 37 ” Or, “I can tell you’ve worked super hard to get your business off the ground.”
Apologize when you’re in the wrong.
It shows a great deal of maturity (成熟). If you mess up, a simple “I'm sorry” goes a long way. Try not to make excuses for yourself. 38 For example, if you forgot a deadline, you could say, “I'm really sorry. I'll be setting reminders so this doesn't happen again.”
39
Stick to your word. If you commit (承诺) to an event or make plans with someone, come through on your end of the deal. Being reliable shows respect for people’s time. Have your materials in order and complete all the necessary work ahead of time. 40 It can be tough at first, but it’s better to be honest.
A. Do what you say you’ll do.
B. Just say no if you can’t commit.
C. Wait to talk instead of merely listening.
D. I can tell you’ve thought a lot about this topic.
E. Watch and be quiet when someone else is talking.
F. Excuses are useless if you want to correct your mistakes.
G. It might also be helpful to have a plan to avoid such mistakes again.

An 80yearold man was sitting on the sofa in his house along with his 45yearold highly educated son. Suddenly a crow(乌鸦) perched(栖息) on the tree near their window.
The father asked his son, “What is this ” The son replied, “It is a crow.”
After a few minutes, the father asked his son the second time,“What is this？”The son said, “Father, I have just told you It's a crow.”
After a little while, the old father asked his son the third time, “What is this ”
This time some expression of irritation(恼怒) was felt in the son's tone when he said to his father unwillingly. “It's a crow, a crow.” After a little while, the father
asked his son the fourth time, “What is this ”
This time, the son shouted at his father, “Why do you keep asking me the same question again and again, although I have told you so many times IT IS A CROW. Are you not able to understand this ”
A little later the father went to his room and came back with an old tattered(破旧的) diary, which he had maintained since his son was born.
On opening a page, he asked his son to read that page.
When the son read it, the following words were written in the diary：
“Today my little son aged three was sitting with me on the sofa, when a crow was sitting on the window. My son asked me 23 times what it was, and I replied to him all 23 times that it was a crow. I hugged him lovingly each time he asked me the same question. I did not feel irritated at all but I rather felt affection for my innocent son.”

Dear Peter，
How is everything going I'm writing to you in the hope of seeking for help.
Our school will hold an English dubbing contest on January 20th. I'm eager to have a try but have no idea which film is suitable. So I'm wondering if you'd give me some recommendations. According to the requirements, the theme should be about friendship. And each video may last 4 to 5 minutes.
I'd appreciate it if you could do me the favor. Looking forward to your reply.
Yours，
Li Hua
第二节 (满分25分)
After reading the diary, the son was filled with tears and began to reflect on the days. When he used to sit together with his father，his father would patiently answer the same question all 23 times without any expression of irritation while his father asked him the same question just four times! The son thought to himself: If I attain old age, how will my son treat me Will he think of me as a burden Will he shout at me because of my poor sight, poor hearing or poor understanding
Feeling ashamed, the son got down on his knees before his father. He made an apology to his father, begging his father to forgive him for his bad behaviour. He said this aloud, “I promise to see you happy forever, Dad. It is you who have cared for me since I was a little child, showering your selfless affection on me. You worked hard to make money so that I could afford to go to university. I will serve you in the best way.”
