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 1819) and Dancing With The King (October 1820) in Tupelo, Mississippi.
Capitol Reef National Park (Utah)
Fall is a harvest season at Capitol Reef National Park —a pictureperfect setting for picnicking with peaches, pears and apples. For a small fee, visitors can selfpick the peaches, pears and apples with ladders and fruitpicking 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 rangerled 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 36.5mile California Riding & Hiking Trail that runs eastwest across the park.
21. When does the Natchez Balloon Festival start

C. On October 18. D. On October 19.

Are you looking for something exciting in your life How about trying a new hobby that gets your heart racing
You might enjoy running, right Well, then you’re already on the right track to becoming a trail runner (越野跑选手). It is not so hard as you think. All you need to do is just taking your runs off the pavement and explore some hilly or mountainous trails. Trail running has been popular in recent years and offers a great way to connect with nature while getting an exciting workout.
Not adventurous enough for you How about trying rock climbing Climbers climb walls or natural rock formations, using their strength and problemsolving skills. There’s no age limit for this sport, and it can be a great way to build confidence and overcome fears. For example, Sarah, a young girl from a small town, started rock climbing at the age of 12 and has since fallen in love with the sport. She says, “Every time I reach the top of a climb, I feel a sense of success that’s hard to describe.”
Some people take their adventures to even greater heights by trying wingsuit flying. In this extreme sport, participants (参与者) wear a special suit that allows them to fly through the air like a bird. It requires a lot of training and courage, as there are significant risks involved. However, for those who are interested in it, there is no feeling like flying freely.
It seems that people are always coming up with new and exciting ways to challenge themselves and experience the excitement of adventure. Whether it’s paragliding (滑翔伞运动), whitewater rafting, or even urban exploration, there’s something out there for everyone.
24. What can we learn from the passage about trail running
A. It’s rather boring. B. It’s too challenging.
C. It’s very frightening. D. It’s not that difficult.
25. Why does the author mention the example in paragraph 3
A. To stress the body condition required for rock climbing.
B. To show that rock climbing can make people confident and brave.
C. To keep readers from trying rock climbing when they are too young.
D. To explain that only those who fall in love with rock climbing can succeed.
26. What does the underlined word “It” in paragraph 4 refer to
A. Trail running. B. Rock climbing. C. Wingsuit flying. D. Flying following birds.
27. Why do people try these extreme sports
A. To become wellknown and popular. B. To seek for excitement and challenge.
C. To show off their abilities and courage. D. To make more friends with common interest.
C
Urban expansion (城市扩张) has greatly changed the habitats of many animals. Forests are cut down to build houses, rivers are changed to provide water for big cities, and pollution is now a serious problem for many ecosystems. These actions force animals to get used to city life, often causing conflicts when they enter areas where people live to find food or a place to stay.
Environmentalists say that it’s important to create special places called wildlife reserves. These reserves protect animals that are in danger and help keep different kinds of life in nature. Wildlife reserves are like safe homes where animals and plants can live and grow without being bothered by people. Studies show that animals in these protected areas survive better, which helps maintain balance in nature. Every animal, from small insects to large animals, plays an important role in keeping the ecosystem healthy.
In addition to reserves, people are also working on setting up “wildlife corridors.” These are protected paths between places animals live in, which allow animals to migrate safely. Without such corridors, animal groups that live alone in one place lose genetic diversity (基因多样性), which makes them more likely to die out. For instance, large predators like tigers and wolves need big space to hunt and survive. Corridors offer these animals freedom to move around without entering human spaces.
Protecting biodiversity (生物多样性) not only benefits animals but also supports human life. Healthy ecosystems control water flow, clean the air, and stops the climate change, all of which are extremely important for human survival. Therefore, protection efforts not only focus on saving different species, but also making sure our environment stays healthy for everyone.
28. What is one main result of urban expansion on wildlife
A. Fewer people in cities. B. Fewer human activities.
C. Damage to animal habitats. D. More places for animals to live.
29. What is the purpose of wildlife reserves
A. To attract more tourists.
B. To create jobs for local people.
C. To protect animals from human bothering them.
D. To allow humans to connect with animal.
30. What is the author’s attitude toward creating wildlife reserves and corridors
A. Supportive. B. Concerned. C. Indifferent. D. Questioning.
31. What is the main idea of the passage
A. Animals don’t need migration paths as they can get used to cities.
B. Cities should replace habitats to create more space for humans.
C. Urban growth has little effect on animals as they can find new homes.
D. Wildlife reserves and corridors help protect animals and ecosystems.
D
When Amelia Hammersley was in sixth grade, her younger sister went to the hospital with a concussion (脑震荡) from a fall. People with concussion often take pain medicines to ease headaches. But heavy use of NSAIDs, a common type of pain killer, can come with serious side effects (副作用), especially if taken for a long time.
Now 16, Amelia has discovered that a plant medicine called celastrol might help reduce (减少) the need for NSAIDs. Celastrol comes from a plant used in China for hundreds of years to treat health problems. Amelia’s research suggests that celastrol might allow patients to take less NSAIDs.
“My sister led me to the research,” noted the teen, who is a student at Oak Park and River Forest High School in Oak Park, Ill. She showed her findings at the Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair.
Amelia found that celastrol could help the brain get well again and reduce inflammation (炎症) by blocking a specific brain pathway. She tested this using fruit flies, which have a similar inflammation pathway as humans.
Amelia bought over 120 fruit flies and tested their climbing ability in clear tubes. After giving each fly a concussion by dropping them from a springloaded tube, she tested their climbing speed again. Most flies took more than two minutes to climb, and some didn’t try at all.
She then fed the flies different treatments: one group received food with NSAIDs, another with celastrol, a third with both, and a fourth group got only food. After 24 hours, she tested their climbing ability again. The flies treated with both or just celastrol did better than those with NSAIDs alone or no treatment.
Amelia hopes to continue working on this project in the future. She believes celastrol, being lowcost and widely used, could make medicine more accessible in places where health care is costly or hard to get.
32. What makes Amelia carry out the research
A. A road accident. B. Her painful illness.
C. A Chinese story. D. Her sister’s condition.
33. Why were the fruit flies grouped
A. To shorten the testing time. B. To compare the test results.
C. To catch people’s attention. D. To complete the climb early.
34. What does Amelia expect of the plant medicine
A. It’ll improve her health. B. It’ll kill the fruit flies.
C. It’ll help people in need. D. It’ll change her dream.
35. Which can be a suitable title for the text
A. A Widely Respected Doctor in America
B. Amelia’s Upcoming Plan to Study Medicine
C. The Future of Traditional Chinese Medicine
D. Celastrol’s Promise in Concussion Treatment

Niesha could not forget the way she froze in front of the class today. Mr. Roberts had divided the class into groups to do presentations (报告). Today was Niesha’s turn. However, her hands shook so violently that she couldn’t read her notes. Her voice became softer even to silence. Mr. Roberts kindly ended Niesha’s part of the presentation even though she did clearly not finish. He also asked Niesha to stay after class for a moment.
“Niesha, I know you’re shy, but you worked hard on this project. I’d hate to see you give up on yourself.” Then Mr. Roberts hesitated, “If I give you another chance until tomorrow, do you think you can find your courage ” Niesha nodded, grateful for the chance. She went as quickly as she could to her next class. She kept her head down and hoped the school day would end soon.
When she reached her back steps that afternoon, she could see an inviting light coming from the kitchen windows. Momma was baking. Momma studied Niesha’s face as she came into the kitchen. “What’s wrong, Niesha ”
Tears shone in Niesha’s brown eyes. She told her the whole story. Momma was silent for a moment, her hands still busy with the cake. “Why is it that you can talk to me about anything and everything, but you can’t talk to your class ” Momma asked. She set the timer (计时器) and then said, “Let me show you something.”
Niesha followed Momma to her bedroom. There Momma showed her a book filled with newspaper clippings (剪报) and pictures. In it there was a blue ribbon (丝带) that said “First Place” and a picture of herself when she was very young, standing with her parents.
“I won it for public speaking. I started the school year as the shyest girl on the speech team, but I ended the year as the blue ribbon winner. It wasn’t easy at first I was not sure of myself at all. I worked hard, and mostly I faced my fears. You just need to find your courage.”

An English Speech Contest
Last week, our school held an English speech contest themed “My Favorite Traditional Festival”. The aim of this contest was to arouse students’ interest in traditional festivals and improve their English speaking skills.
The contest attracted many students. They introduced their favorite festivals, such as the Spring Festival, Mid Autumn Festival, etc., sharing the origins, customs and their own experiences related to these festivals.
This activity was of great significance. It not only made students have a deeper understanding of traditional festivals but also enhanced their sense of cultural identity. It also provided a good platform for students to show their language abilities.

Hearing Momma’s words, Niesha stared at the precious blue ribbon, lost in thought. She thought about Momma's words and how she had overcome her shyness to win the blue ribbon. Niesha realized that everyone had the potential to be brave. She decided to face her fear just like her momma did. She spent the whole evening practicing her presentation. She read her notes aloud again and again, trying to make her voice stronger and more confident.
The next day Niesha again walked to the front of the classroom to give her presentation. This time, her hands didn't shake. She stood straight and looked at her classmates with determination. As she began to speak, her voice was clear and loud. She told the story exactly as she had practiced. When she finished, there was a moment of silence, and then the whole class burst into applause. Niesha smiled, feeling a great sense of achievement. She had found her courage and overcome her fear.
