Here are four parks in America that offer ideal visiting conditions in the fall.
Natchez Trace Parkway (Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee)
Covering 444 miles between the Mississippi River and Nashville, Natchez Trace Parkway has some of the prettiest scenery in the entire South. The fall season also brings special events along the parkway like the Natchez Balloon Festival (October 18-19) and Dancing With The King (October 18-20) in Tupelo, Mississippi.
Capitol Reef National Park (Utah)
Fall is a harvest season at Capitol Reef National Park —a picture-perfect setting for picnicking with peaches, pears and apples. For a small fee, visitors can self-pick the peaches, pears and apples with ladders and fruit-picking poles provided by the Park Service. Afterward, they can enjoy the fruits of their labor at the nearby picnic area and campground.
White Sands National Park (New Mexico)
Cooler temperatures are just one of the reasons to visit White Sands in the fall. Another reason to visit in the fall is impressive full moons that brighten the unearthly landscapes of this New Mexico desert park. White Sands celebrates the autumn supermoons with ranger-led Full Moon Hikes (September 18 and October 16) and Full Moon Nights that feature/ live outdoor music, specifically a jazz band on September 17 as well as Native American musician and storyteller Randy Granger on October 17.
Joshua Tree National Park (California)
It’s hard to avoid crowds at Joshua Tree National Park, but you might have a chance if you visit during a weekday in October or November. By October, the average daytime temperature has dropped, perfect for hiking, biking, horseback riding the 36.5-mile California Riding & Hiking Trail that runs east-west across the park.

As Ginni Bazlinton reached Antarctica, she found herself greeted by a group of little Gentoo penguins (企鹅) longing to say hello. These gentle, lovely gatekeepers welcomed her and kick-started what was to be a trip Ginni would never forget.
Ever since her childhood, Ginni, now 71, has had a deep love for travel. Throughout her career (职业) as a professional dancer, she toured in the UK, but always longed to explore further. When she retired from dancing and her sons eventually flew the nest, she decided it was time to take the plunge.
After taking a degree at Chichester University in Related Arts, Ginni began to travel the world, eventually getting work teaching English in Japan and Chile. And it was in Chile she discovered she could get last-minute cheap deals on ships going to Antarctica from the islands off Tierra del Fuego, the southernmost tip of the South American mainland. “I just decided I wanted to go,” she says. “I had no idea about what I’d find there and I wasn’t nervous, I just wanted to do it. And I wanted to do it alone as I always prefer it that way.”
In March 2008, Ginni boarded a ship with 48 passengers she’d never met before, to begin the journey towards Antarctica. “From seeing the wildlife to witnessing sunrises, the whole experience was amazing. Antarctica left an impression on me that no other place has,” Ginni says. “I remember the first time I saw a humpback whale; it just rose out of the water like some prehistoric creature and I thought it was smiling at us. You could still hear the operatic sounds it was making underwater.”
The realization that this is a precious land, to be respected by humans, was one of the biggest things that hit home to Ginni.
4. Which of the following best explains “take the plunge” underlined in paragraph 2
A. Try challenging things. B. Take a degree.
C. Bring back lost memories. D. Stick to a promise.
5. What made Ginni decide on the trip to Antarctica
A. Lovely penguins. B. Beautiful scenery.
C. A discount fare. D. A friend’s invitation.
6. What does Ginni think about Antarctica after the journey
A. It could be a home for her. B. It should be easily accessible.
C. It should be well preserved. D. It needs to be fully introduced.
7. What is the text mainly about
A. A childhood dream. B. An unforgettable experience.
C. Sailing around the world. D. Meeting animals in Antarctica.
C
When we think about lives filled with meaning, we often focus on people whose big contributions benefited humanity. Abraham Lincoln, Martin Luther King, Jr., and Nelson Mandela surely felt they had a worthwhile life. But how about us ordinary people, struggling for existence
Many scholars agree that a meaningful existence often boils down to three factors: the feeling that one’s life is coherent(连贯的) and “makes sense,” the possession of clear and satisfying long-term goals and the belief that one’s life matters in a system of things.
But we believe there is another element to consider. Think about the first butterfly you stop to admire after a long winter or imagine the scenery at the top of a hill after a fresh hike. Sometimes existence delivers us small moments of beauty. When people are open to appreciating such experiences, these moments may enhance how they view their life. We call this element experiential appreciation. The phenomenon reflects the feeling of a deep connection to events as they happen and the ability to extract value from that link. It represents the detection of and admiration for life’s natural beauty.
We conducted a series of experiments in which we gave people specific tasks to see whether experiential appreciation was related to a person’s sense of meaning. In one case, we found that participants who watched an awe-inspiring video, such as the BBC documentary Planet Earth(地球脉动), reported having a greater sense of experiential appreciation and meaning in life, compared with participants who watched more neutral(不带感彩的) videos, such as an instructional woodworking video.
The results confirmed our original theory: appreciating small things can make life feel more meaningful. But applying that insight can be difficult. Our modern, fast-paced lifestyles fill the day with targets and goals. The focus on future outcomes makes it all too easy to miss what is happening right now. Yet life happens in the present moment. We should slow down, let life surprise us and embrace the significance in the everyday life.
8. What are the key factors of meaningful existence according to the scholars
A. Wealth, goals and achievements.
B. Capability, positivity and meaning.
C. Contribution, great aim and coherence.
D. Coherence, purpose and existential mattering.
9 What does the underlined word “It” refer to in paragraph 3
A. That link. B. Experiential appreciation.
C. The value. D. A deep connection to events.
10. How does the author support his viewpoints according to paragraph 4
A. By listing figures. B. By telling stories.
C. By analyzing causes. D. By doing experiments.
11. What does the author suggest people do
A. Maximize future outcomes. B. Focus on targets and goals.
C. Value what is happening now. D. Enjoy the fast-paced lifestyles.
D
Even though water covers about 71 percent of the Earth’s surface, not all of it is safe to drink. In fact, less than three percent is fresh water, according to the United States Bureau of Reclamation. Most of the water is contained in the oceans and must be desalinated (脱盐)for use. Now researchers from MIT have developed a suitcase-sized desalination device that could be used to produce clean drinking water.
The new portable device produces water that actually goes beyond the World Health Organization standards, just by pushing a button, according to a press release from MIT. There are no filters required. The device powered by a small portable solar panel uses electricity to remove salt and other particles from the saltwater. This eliminates the need for repeatedly checking or repairing it.
Now most available portable desalination units use filters that require high-pressure pumps to push the water, which makes them heavier and less energy efficient. The filterless feature of the new device will allow it to be used in faraway places or places with limited resources like small islands and ships, and even for emergencies.
“This is really the highest point of a 10-year journey that I and my group have been on. We worked for years on the physics behind individual desalination processes, but pushing all those advances into a box, building a system, and testing it in the ocean were really meaningful experiences for me,” says Jongyoon Han, the senior author of the study.
After the researchers ran tests in the lab, the device was ready for field tests. At Boston’s Carson Beach, the device filled a plastic drinking cup with clear, drinkable water in just half an hour. Now the researchers are still working on a final design that could use cheaper materials so that it can be available to the general public, and a new model of the device could be ready by the end of 2022. This small but powerful desalination unit may be the key to bringing safe water to a thirsty world.
12. What does the underlined word “eliminates” in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Proves. B. Creates. C. Satisfies. D. Removes.
13. What can we infer about the device from Paragraph 3
A. It allows high production of clean water. B. It makes a breakthrough in application
C. It may provide power for faraway places D. It can replace most desalination devices.
14. What do Jongyoon Han’s words suggest
A. The public thinks highly of the device
B. The testing system for the device has been out of date.
C. Developing the device is challenging but worthwhile.
D. Further studies are needed before marketing the device.
15. Which aspect of the device are the researchers trying to improve
A. Its affordability. B. The energy it needs.
C. Its performance in dry areas. D. The purity of the water it produces.

Travelling with friends can be an amazing experience where you could make lifelong memories or it could ruin your friendship. ____16____ Here are some rules you should follow to make sure your next trip with friends goes as smoothly as possible.
____17____ Sure, you and your friends probably have some similar interests, but that’s not always the case. In an effort to keep everyone happy, go over travel plans and expectations ahead of time.

Get off your phone. Of course, your friends will understand if you need to take a call from a family member, or in the event of a work emergency, but other than that, try to stay off your phone. ____20____ After all, the appeal of this type of trip is to spend time with friends. Just enjoy it!
A. Give each other some space.

As Ginni Bazlinton reached Antarctica, she found herself greeted by a group of little Gentoo penguins (企鹅) longing to say hello. These gentle, lovely gatekeepers welcomed her and kick-started what was to be a trip Ginni would never forget.
Ever since her childhood, Ginni, now 71, has had a deep love for travel. Throughout her career (职业) as a professional dancer, she toured in the UK, but always longed to explore further. When she retired from dancing and her sons eventually flew the nest, she decided it was time to take the plunge.
After taking a degree at Chichester University in Related Arts, Ginni began to travel the world, eventually getting work teaching English in Japan and Chile. And it was in Chile she discovered she could get last-minute cheap deals on ships going to Antarctica from the islands off Tierra del Fuego, the southernmost tip of the South American mainland. “I just decided I wanted to go,” she says. “I had no idea about what I’d find there and I wasn’t nervous, I just wanted to do it. And I wanted to do it alone as I always prefer it that way.”
In March 2008, Ginni boarded a ship with 48 passengers she’d never met before, to begin the journey towards Antarctica. “From seeing the wildlife to witnessing sunrises, the whole experience was amazing. Antarctica left an impression on me that no other place has,” Ginni says. “I remember the first time I saw a humpback whale; it just rose out of the water like some prehistoric creature and I thought it was smiling at us. You could still hear the operatic sounds it was making underwater.”
The realization that this is a precious land, to be respected by humans, was one of the biggest things that hit home to Ginni.
4. Which of the following best explains “take the plunge” underlined in paragraph 2
A. Try challenging things. B. Take a degree.
C. Bring back lost memories. D. Stick to a promise.
5. What made Ginni decide on the trip to Antarctica

C. It should be well preserved. D. It needs to be fully introduced.
7. What is the text mainly about
A. A childhood dream. B. An unforgettable experience.

When we think about lives filled with meaning, we often focus on people whose big contributions benefited humanity. Abraham Lincoln, Martin Luther King, Jr., and Nelson Mandela surely felt they had a worthwhile life. But how about us ordinary people, struggling for existence
Many scholars agree that a meaningful existence often boils down to three factors: the feeling that one’s life is coherent(连贯的) and “makes sense,” the possession of clear and satisfying long-term goals and the belief that one’s life matters in a system of things.
But we believe there is another element to consider. Think about the first butterfly you stop to admire after a long winter or imagine the scenery at the top of a hill after a fresh hike. Sometimes existence delivers us small moments of beauty. When people are open to appreciating such experiences, these moments may enhance how they view their life. We call this element experiential appreciation. The phenomenon reflects the feeling of a deep connection to events as they happen and the ability to extract value from that link. It represents the detection of and admiration for life’s natural beauty.
We conducted a series of experiments in which we gave people specific tasks to see whether experiential appreciation was related to a person’s sense of meaning. In one case, we found that participants who watched an awe-inspiring video, such as the BBC documentary Planet Earth(地球脉动), reported having a greater sense of experiential appreciation and meaning in life, compared with participants who watched more neutral(不带感彩的) videos, such as an instructional woodworking video.
The results confirmed our original theory: appreciating small things can make life feel more meaningful. But applying that insight can be difficult. Our modern, fast-paced lifestyles fill the day with targets and goals. The focus on future outcomes makes it all too easy to miss what is happening right now. Yet life happens in the present moment. We should slow down, let life surprise us and embrace the significance in the everyday life.
8. What are the key factors of meaningful existence according to the scholars
A. Wealth, goals and achievements.
B. Capability, positivity and meaning.
C. Contribution, great aim and coherence.
D. Coherence, purpose and existential mattering.
9. What does the underlined word “It” refer to in paragraph 3
A. That link. B. Experiential appreciation.
C. The value. D. A deep connection to events.
10. How does the author support his viewpoints according to paragraph 4
A By listing figures. B. By telling stories.
C. By analyzing causes. D. By doing experiments.
11. What does the author suggest people do
A. Maximize future outcomes. B. Focus on targets and goals.
C. Value what is happening now. D. Enjoy the fast-paced lifestyles.
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. D 11. C

Even though water covers about 71 percent of the Earth’s surface, not all of it is safe to drink. In fact, less than three percent is fresh water, according to the United States Bureau of Reclamation. Most of the water is contained in the oceans and must be desalinated (脱盐)for use. Now researchers from MIT have developed a suitcase-sized desalination device that could be used to produce clean drinking water.
The new portable device produces water that actually goes beyond the World Health Organization standards, just by pushing a button, according to a press release from MIT. There are no filters required. The device powered by a small portable solar panel uses electricity to remove salt and other particles from the saltwater. This eliminates the need for repeatedly checking or repairing it.
Now most available portable desalination units use filters that require high-pressure pumps to push the water, which makes them heavier and less energy efficient. The filterless feature of the new device will allow it to be used in faraway places or places with limited resources like small islands and ships, and even for emergencies.
“This is really the highest point of a 10-year journey that I and my group have been on. We worked for years on the physics behind individual desalination processes, but pushing all those advances into a box, building a system, and testing it in the ocean were really meaningful experiences for me,” says Jongyoon Han, the senior author of the study.
After the researchers ran tests in the lab, the device was ready for field tests. At Boston’s Carson Beach, the device filled a plastic drinking cup with clear, drinkable water in just half an hour. Now the researchers are still working on a final design that could use cheaper materials so that it can be available to the general public, and a new model of the device could be ready by the end of 2022. This small but powerful desalination unit may be the key to bringing safe water to a thirsty world.
12. What does the underlined word “eliminates” in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Proves. B. Creates. C. Satisfies. D. Removes.
13. What can we infer about the device from Paragraph 3
A. It allows high production of clean water. B. It makes a breakthrough in application
C. It may provide power for faraway places D. It can replace most desalination devices.
14. What do Jongyoon Han’s words suggest
A. The public thinks highly of the device
B. The testing system for the device has been out of date.
C. Developing the device is challenging but worthwhile.
D Further studies are needed before marketing the device.
15. Which aspect of the device are the researchers trying to improve
A. Its affordability. B. The energy it needs.
C. Its performance in dry areas. D. The purity of the water it produces.
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15. A

Travelling with friends can be an amazing experience where you could make lifelong memories or it could ruin your friendship. ____16____ Here are some rules you should follow to make sure your next trip with friends goes as smoothly as possible.
____17____ Sure, you and your friends probably have some similar interests, but that’s not always the case. In an effort to keep everyone happy, go over travel plans and expectations ahead of time.

In this case, share your requirements directly with your travel companions. ____18____ Have a conversation when problems arise, for communication is the key.

Get off your phone. Of course, your friends will understand if you need to take a call from a family member, or in the event of a work emergency, but other than that, try to stay off your phone. ____20____ After all, the appeal of this type of trip is to spend time with friends. Just enjoy it!

Here are four parks in America that offer ideal visiting conditions in the fall.
Natchez Trace Parkway (Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee)
Covering 444 miles between the Mississippi River and Nashville, Natchez Trace Parkway has some of the prettiest scenery in the entire South. The fall season also brings special events along the parkway like the Natchez Balloon Festival (October 18-19) and Dancing With The King (October 18-20) in Tupelo, Mississippi.
Capitol Reef National Park (Utah)
Fall is a harvest season at Capitol Reef National Park —a picture-perfect setting for picnicking with peaches, pears and apples. For a small fee, visitors can self-pick the peaches, pears and apples with ladders and fruit-picking poles provided by the Park Service. Afterward, they can enjoy the fruits of their labor at the nearby picnic area and campground.
White Sands National Park (New Mexico)
Cooler temperatures are just one of the reasons to visit White Sands in the fall. Another reason to visit in the fall is impressive full moons that brighten the unearthly landscapes of this New Mexico desert park. White Sands celebrates the autumn supermoons with ranger-led Full Moon Hikes (September 18 and October 16) and Full Moon Nights that feature/ live outdoor music, specifically a jazz band on September 17 as well as Native American musician and storyteller Randy Granger on October 17.
Joshua Tree National Park (California)
It’s hard to avoid crowds at Joshua Tree National Park, but you might have a chance if you visit during a weekday in October or November. By October, the average daytime temperature has dropped, perfect for hiking, biking, horseback riding the 36.5-mile California Riding & Hiking Trail that runs east-west across the park.
1. When does the Natchez Balloon Festival start
A. On October 16. B. On October 17.
C. On October 18. D. On October 19.

Even though water covers about 71 percent of the Earth’s surface, not all of it is safe to drink. In fact, less than three percent is fresh water, according to the United States Bureau of Reclamation. Most of the water is contained in the oceans and must be desalinated (脱盐)for use. Now researchers from MIT have developed a suitcase-sized desalination device that could be used to produce clean drinking water.
The new portable device produces water that actually goes beyond the World Health Organization standards, just by pushing a button, according to a press release from MIT. There are no filters required. The device powered by a small portable solar panel uses electricity to remove salt and other particles from the saltwater. This eliminates the need for repeatedly checking or repairing it.
Now most available portable desalination units use filters that require high-pressure pumps to push the water, which makes them heavier and less energy efficient. The filterless feature of the new device will allow it to be used in faraway places or places with limited resources like small islands and ships, and even for emergencies.
“This is really the highest point of a 10-year journey that I and my group have been on. We worked for years on the physics behind individual desalination processes, but pushing all those advances into a box, building a system, and testing it in the ocean were really meaningful experiences for me,” says Jongyoon Han, the senior author of the study.
After the researchers ran tests in the lab, the device was ready for field tests. At Boston’s Carson Beach, the device filled a plastic drinking cup with clear, drinkable water in just half an hour. Now the researchers are still working on a final design that could use cheaper materials so that it can be available to the general public, and a new model of the device could be ready by the end of 2022. This small but powerful desalination unit may be the key to bringing safe water to a thirsty world.
12. What does the underlined word “eliminates” in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Proves. B. Creates. C. Satisfies. D. Removes.
13. What can we infer about the device from Paragraph 3
A. It allows high production of clean water. B. It makes a breakthrough in application
C. It may provide power for faraway places D. It can replace most desalination devices.
14. What do Jongyoon Han’s words suggest
A. The public thinks highly of the device
B. The testing system for the device has been out of date.
C. Developing the device is challenging but worthwhile.
D. Further studies are needed before marketing the device.
15. Which aspect of the device are the researchers trying to improve
A. Its affordability. B. The energy it needs.
C. Its performance in dry areas. D. The purity of the water it produces.

Here are four parks in America that offer ideal visiting conditions in the fall.
Natchez Trace Parkway (Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee)
Covering 444 miles between the Mississippi River and Nashville, Natchez Trace Parkway has some of the prettiest scenery in the entire South. The fall season also brings special events along the parkway like the Natchez Balloon Festival (October 18-19) and Dancing With The King (October 18-20) in Tupelo, Mississippi.
Capitol Reef National Park (Utah)
Fall is a harvest season at Capitol Reef National Park —a picture-perfect setting for picnicking with peaches, pears and apples. For a small fee, visitors can self-pick the peaches, pears and apples with ladders and fruit-picking poles provided by the Park Service. Afterward, they can enjoy the fruits of their labor at the nearby picnic area and campground.
White Sands National Park (New Mexico)
Cooler temperatures are just one of the reasons to visit White Sands in the fall. Another reason to visit in the fall is impressive full moons that brighten the unearthly landscapes of this New Mexico desert park. White Sands celebrates the autumn supermoons with ranger-led Full Moon Hikes (September 18 and October 16) and Full Moon Nights that feature/ live outdoor music, specifically a jazz band on September 17 as well as Native American musician and storyteller Randy Granger on October 17.
Joshua Tree National Park (California)
It’s hard to avoid crowds at Joshua Tree National Park, but you might have a chance if you visit during a weekday in October or November. By October, the average daytime temperature has dropped, perfect for hiking, biking, horseback riding the 36.5-mile California Riding & Hiking Trail that runs east-west across the park.
1. When does the Natchez Balloon Festival start
A On October 16. B. On October 17.
C. On October 18. D. On October 19.
2. What can visitors do at Capitol Reef National Park
A. Pick fruits. B. Enjoy band performances.

As Ginni Bazlinton reached Antarctica, she found herself greeted by a group of little Gentoo penguins (企鹅) longing to say hello. These gentle, lovely gatekeepers welcomed her and kick-started what was to be a trip Ginni would never forget.
Ever since her childhood, Ginni, now 71, has had a deep love for travel. Throughout her career (职业) as a professional dancer, she toured in the UK, but always longed to explore further. When she retired from dancing and her sons eventually flew the nest, she decided it was time to take the plunge.
After taking a degree at Chichester University in Related Arts, Ginni began to travel the world, eventually getting work teaching English in Japan and Chile. And it was in Chile she discovered she could get last-minute cheap deals on ships going to Antarctica from the islands off Tierra del Fuego, the southernmost tip of the South American mainland. “I just decided I wanted to go,” she says. “I had no idea about what I’d find there and I wasn’t nervous, I just wanted to do it. And I wanted to do it alone as I always prefer it that way.”
In March 2008, Ginni boarded a ship with 48 passengers she’d never met before, to begin the journey towards Antarctica. “From seeing the wildlife to witnessing sunrises, the whole experience was amazing. Antarctica left an impression on me that no other place has,” Ginni says. “I remember the first time I saw a humpback whale; it just rose out of the water like some prehistoric creature and I thought it was smiling at us. You could still hear the operatic sounds it was making underwater.”
The realization that this is a precious land, to be respected by humans, was one of the biggest things that hit home to Ginni.
4. Which of the following best explains “take the plunge” underlined in paragraph 2
A. Try challenging things. B. Take a degree.
C. Bring back lost memories. D. Stick to a promise.
5. What made Ginni decide on the trip to Antarctica
A. Lovely penguins. B. Beautiful scenery.
C. A discount fare. D. A friend’s invitation.
6. What does Ginni think about Antarctica after the journey
A. It could be a home for her. B. It should be easily accessible.
C. It should be well preserved. D. It needs to be fully introduced.
7. What is the text mainly about
A. A childhood dream. B. An unforgettable experience.
C. Sailing around the world. D. Meeting animals in Antarctica.
【答案】4. A 5. C 6. C 7. B
C
When we think about lives filled with meaning, we often focus on people whose big contributions benefited humanity. Abraham Lincoln, Martin Luther King, Jr., and Nelson Mandela surely felt they had a worthwhile life. But how about us ordinary people, struggling for existence
Many scholars agree that a meaningful existence often boils down to three factors: the feeling that one’s life is coherent(连贯的) and “makes sense,” the possession of clear and satisfying long-term goals and the belief that one’s life matters in a system of things.
But we believe there is another element to consider. Think about the first butterfly you stop to admire after a long winter or imagine the scenery at the top of a hill after a fresh hike. Sometimes existence delivers us small moments of beauty. When people are open to appreciating such experiences, these moments may enhance how they view their life. We call this element experiential appreciation. The phenomenon reflects the feeling of a deep connection to events as they happen and the ability to extract value from that link. It represents the detection of and admiration for life’s natural beauty.
We conducted a series of experiments in which we gave people specific tasks to see whether experiential appreciation was related to a person’s sense of meaning. In one case, we found that participants who watched an awe-inspiring video, such as the BBC documentary Planet Earth(地球脉动), reported having a greater sense of experiential appreciation and meaning in life, compared with participants who watched more neutral(不带感彩的) videos, such as an instructional woodworking video.
The results confirmed our original theory: appreciating small things can make life feel more meaningful. But applying that insight can be difficult. Our modern, fast-paced lifestyles fill the day with targets and goals. The focus on future outcomes makes it all too easy to miss what is happening right now. Yet life happens in the present moment. We should slow down, let life surprise us and embrace the significance in the everyday life.
8. What are the key factors of meaningful existence according to the scholars
A. Wealth, goals and achievements.
B. Capability, positivity and meaning.
C. Contribution, great aim and coherence.
D. Coherence, purpose and existential mattering.
9. What does the underlined word “It” refer to in paragraph 3
A. That link. B. Experiential appreciation.
C. The value. D. A deep connection to events.
10. How does the author support his viewpoints according to paragraph 4
A By listing figures. B. By telling stories.
C. By analyzing causes. D. By doing experiments.
11. What does the author suggest people do
A. Maximize future outcomes. B. Focus on targets and goals.
C. Value what is happening now. D. Enjoy the fast-paced lifestyles.
