Best Parks to See Wildlife
A recent report from a vacation site listed the total number of species and sizes of several well-known national parks.Here are some of them to see the widest variety of animals.
Cuyahoga Valley National Park, Ohio
Number of species per 100 square kilometer: 317
Located 20 miles south-west of Cleveland, Ohio, Cuyahoga Valley National Park is a mixed ecosystem of forests and wetlands sheltering a variety of animals.From the boardwalk at Beaver Marsh, watch for water-loving mammals or snapping turtles that can weigh as much as 55 pounds each.More than 200 bird species live in or migrate through the park.
Carlsbad Caverns National Park, New Mexico
Number of species per 100 square kilometer: 286
The representative of Carlsbad Caverns is the Brazilian free-tailed bat.Every summer, hundreds of thousands of the furry, big-eared creatures live in these caves in south-eastern New Mexico, attracting crowds at sunset with their spectacular flight.The Brazilians are one of the 17 bat species that nest at Carlsbad.You might also encounter wild pigs and cave swallows.
Acadia National Park, Maine
Number of species per 100 square kilometer: 242
The Atlantic Ocean meets the Maine coast at this popular park on Mount Desert Island, providing habitat for wildlife with feet and flippers (鳍肢) .From the shore, scan the water for the heads of harbor porpoises (鼠海豚) and gray seals.
Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park, Colorado
Number of species per 100 square kilometer: 219
In western Colorado, the 2,722 feet between this park’s canyon edge and the Gunnison River below support numerous wildlife habitats.Experienced climbers and hikers who adventure into the inner canyon can find collared lizards and mule deer.

Grand Canyon National Park is consistently rated as one of the best national parks in the US and is one of those places that are crowded throughout the year.Camping in the Grand Canyon gives you a totally different feel.You’ll get more room, more silence and more time to enjoy the wide-open spaces.Why should you camp on the edge of the Grand Canyon?The night sky is beyond compare, not to mention the sunrise and sunset.
There is a beautiful unmarked trail (小路) nearby.It meanders (蜿蜒) through the trees and along the south edge of the canyon, with the most beautiful views of the Colorado River below.I made my way to the canyon edge for both sunrise and sunset every day.Both shows were spectacular, but sunsets were pretty crowded everywhere we went.Sunrise was a different story—perfectly quiet, except for the singing birds.I set my alarm for 4:20 a.m., left the kids sleeping in their tent, and made my way through the park each morning.I’m sure there are lots of beautiful places to watch the sun come up on the edge, but my favorite was Moran Point, which provided a great view of both east and west.We were lucky enough to witness the full moon setting one morning while the sun bathed the canyon in its warm light.
The Grand Canyon is a magical but busy place.If you like your wilderness experience to be wild, consider visiting in the off-season, between October and April.The South Kaibab Trail offers wonderful views and relative silence for not much effort, but be sure to pack sunscreen, snacks and lots of water.Even meandering along the South Edge Trail from Grand Canyon Village will allow you to escape the groups of visitors.

A growing body of research shows that experiencing nature can improve your health and may reduce death risks.Even short nature breaks can be beneficial.According to a recent study, people who spent just 20 minutes in a place where they felt connected to nature experienced a drop in stress hormones (激素).
Nature’s effects don’t require time spent in the complete wilderness.Even caring for the house plants may be good for you.Peter James, an assistant professor at the Harvard Medical School, said, “You should start thinking of these experiences as a necessity that we need to live healthy lives.”
A 2017 review found research that suggested links between 20 health benefits and spending time outdoors, including better sleep, reduced depression, increased social connection, improved recovery from operations, and better health for cancer survivors.
Any natural environment may provide therapeutic (治疗的) effects, says Jessica Finlay, an environmental gerontologist at the University of Michigan’s Institute for Social Research.For example, people have traditionally traveled to the sea or to other sources of water for healing purposes.
There are four primary ways that nature may improve health, James says.First, it provides a safeguard from air pollution, noise pollution, and heat, all of which are linked to a higher risk of chronic (慢性的) disease.Second, nature—whether it’s a tree-lined street or a forest—provides a chance to be physically active, which can improve health in a number of ways, especially by lowering the risk of cancer and by improving mental health.Third, nature provides opportunities to socialize with friends, which is associated with improved health.The fourth way may be the most interesting, according to James and other experts.Nature may improve health directly by helping people recover from stress and restore their focus.
8.How can a 20-minute walk in nature benefit people?( )
A.By cutting them off from the world. B.By curing them of their diseases.
C.By making them feel connected. D.By reducing their pressure.
9.What does James suggest those who want to enjoy healthy lives do?( )
A.Get involved in gardening actively. B.Focus on modern medical science.
C.Get close to nature as often as possible. D.Kick the habit of camping in the wild.
10.What can we infer about spending time outdoors from the 2017 review?( )
A.It raises some doubts.
B.It increases health risks greatly.
C.It improves social communication.
D.It makes people exposed to noise pollution.
11.What is the text mainly about?( )
A.The power of nature.
B.Different styles of outdoor activities.
C.A rising trend of living in the open air.
D.The influence of nature on people’s behavior.
D
A recent global study, which surveyed 10,000 young people from 10 countries, showed that nearly 60 per cent of them were extremely worried about the future state of the planet.The report also showed that nearly half of the respondents (受访者) said that such distress affected them daily, and three-quarters agreed with the statement that “the future is frightening”.This, and many other studies, show clearly that climate change is not just a threat to the environment.It also poses a very real threat to our mental health.
Psychologists have classified these feelings of sadness, distress, and worry about the current climate emergency as eco-anxiety.According to the Climate Psychology Alliance, eco-anxiety is defined as the “intense physical and mental discomfort in response to dangerous changes in the climate system”.
Eco-anxiety doesn’t just affect young people.It also affects researchers who work in climate and ecological science, burdened by the reality discovered in their findings, and it affects the poor people across the globe, who hopelessly bear the harmful impacts of climate breakdown.
In recent years, we’ve seen wildfires tear through Canada and Greece, and summer floods destroy regions in Pakistan that are home to nearly 33 million people.Studies have shown that those impacted by air pollution and rising temperatures are more likely to experience mental distress.
The cause of this mental distress is absolutely external.According to Caroline Hickman, a researcher on eco-anxiety from the University of Bath, anyone experiencing these emotions is displaying entirely natural and rational reactions to the climate crisis.Her suggestion? Take eco-anxiety as a tool for good—as an emotion that can urge people to act in protection of our planet.
This is why, in future, we will also see more people around the world join the fight for climate justice and apply for jobs that seek sustainable development.Eco-anxiety is not something we will defeat with therapy—we will solve it by taking action.
12.What does the underlined word “distress” in Paragraph 1 mean?( )
A.Shock. B.Anxiety.
C.Fear. D.Anger.
13.What is eco-anxiety according to the Climate Psychology Alliance?( )
A.It is a strong reaction to the natural disasters.
B.It is a kind of mental disease for the young people.
C.It is a physical and mental discomfort when we meet difficulties.
D.It is a strong physical and mental discomfort for the dangerous climate changes.
14.What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 3?( )
A.The process of eco-anxiety.
B.The impact of eco-anxiety.
C.The causes of eco-anxiety.
D.The benefits of eco-anxiety.
15.What’s the approach to solving eco-anxiety according to Caroline Hickman?( )
A.Defeat it with a therapy.
B.Just wait for a good solution.
C.Join the fight for climate justice.
D.Use it to urge people to protect our earth.

Sustainable travel is now one of the fastest-growing movements.Its goal is to meet the needs of the tourism industry without harming natural and cultural environments.16.( ) Here are some concrete ways to reduce your environmental impact as a traveler.
17.( ) Travel doesn’t have to be about going somewhere far away.It’s the art of exploration, discovery and getting out of your comfort zone, all of which can just as well be nearby.Find somewhere nearby you haven’t been, get in your car, and go for a visit.You never know what you’ll come across.
Make greener transportation choices.After walking, public transportation is the next best way to explore new destinations.18.( ) When it comes to longer distances, buses and trains are your best ways of getting around, both of which can be quite an experience in and of themselves.
Avoid over-visited destinations.If you can, avoid places with over-tourism.You’ll find fewer crowds and lower prices, and you also won’t be putting as much pressure on local communities struggling to keep up.And, from a personal-enjoyment point of view, who wants to deal with crowds or long lines? No one.19.( )
Take a nature-related trip.If you want to better understand and appreciate the natural world, try taking a trip with the single purpose of connecting with nature.20.( ) I promise that when you come home, you’ll have a new viewpoint on why we’re all so focused on being environmentally friendly these days.
A.Stay close to home.
B.Find an ideal place to explore.
C.Sustainable travel can be useful to support communities.
D.Not only is it better for the environment, but it’s cheaper as well.
E.Get in touch with the world in a way that sitting at home doesn’t.
F.If not managed properly, tourism can have incredibly negative impacts.
G.Visiting less-visited destinations can be much more enjoyable and rewarding.

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I was packed and ready to go skiing for the first time. It felt like I was about to take an adventure with the world at my feet. Feeling empowered, I knew something brilliant was going to come out of the trip. I was more than excited at the thought of spending an entire week with my best friend, Lindsay, hanging out and enjoying winter.
Early Monday morning my youth group boarded our bus for the ski trip. Once at the destination, we saw the skiers floating so easily and gracefully down the slopes. By the time I got my skis and boots, I was confident I’d be a fantastic skier. During the lessons, I mastered the art of skiing within 30 minutes. After spending most of the time practicing again and again on the run for beginners, we were able to fly down the hill by the end of the day. In the evening, we all felt extremely plaining about the pain our ski boots had caused, Lindsay and I decided we weren’t skiing the next day. Well, of course, our friends wouldn’t hear of that.
So, the next morning we found ourselves in line for the ski lift, which wound its way up the high mountain. Lindsay and I stared helplessly at each other, our eyes showing nothing but fear. After I got into the lift, I sat totally still on the chair with my eyes closely shut, not daring to look outside. The lift rose so fast that before I knew it, I had floated up the mountain. When I finally opened my eyes, I found myself at the top in one piece. Thank goodness I was still alive!
Standing at the top of the long slope, with the skis pointing downward, I realized I was shaking. I glanced at Lindsay and found that she was scared too, for her poles kept tapping rapidly against the sides of her boots.
Taking a deep breath and gathering all our courage, we gave each other an encouraging nod and both took off. At first I barely moved, but slowly I allowed myself to gain some speed. Soon I was shooting down the mountain with my heart beating wildly.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。
Then a sharp turning suddenly came into view.
I was on the point of crying when I felt a hand on my shoulder.

第二节 参考范文:
Then a sharp turning suddenly came into view. I knew I had to stop, but I was moving too fast to control myself. I tried everything, but in vain. There was only one final option—falling over. After rolling for what felt like forever, I lay still, head dizzy. Worse still, my joints were painful and every muscle hurt. I knew there was no way I could keep going. When I struggled to my feet and brushed the snow off, the terrible truth hit me: I still had half the mountain to go!
I was on the point of crying when I felt a hand on my shoulder. It was Lindsay. “I have to quit,” I said hopelessly. Pointing to some skillful skiers, Lindsay said, “Look, they are skiing so easily. Come on, I believe we can make it, too.” Looking at her determined expression, I was instantly inspired and seconds later we were both skiing down the slope. Along the way there were a few more falls, but we were not defeated. At the bottom, I glanced up the mountain and felt a wave of gratitude and pride. Thanks to Lindsay’s encouragement, I had overcome my fears and learned to face challenges bravely.

Grand Canyon National Park is consistently rated as one of the
best national parks in the US and is one of those places that are
crowded throughout the year.Camping in the Grand Canyon gives
you a totally different feel.You’ll get more room, more silence and
more time to enjoy the wide-open spaces.Why should you camp on the
edge of the Grand Canyon?The night sky is beyond compare, not to
mention the sunrise and sunset.
There is a beautiful unmarked trail (小路) nearby.It meanders
(蜿蜒) through the trees and along the south edge of the canyon,
with the most beautiful views of the Colorado River below.I made my
way to the canyon edge for both sunrise and sunset every day.Both
shows were spectacular, but sunsets were pretty crowded everywhere
we went.Sunrise was a different story—perfectly quiet, except for
the singing birds.I set my alarm for 4:20 a.m., left the kids
sleeping in their tent, and made my way through the park each
morning.I’m sure there are lots of beautiful places to watch the sun
come up on the edge, but my favorite was Moran Point, which
provided a great view of both east and west.We were lucky enough to
witness the full moon setting one morning while the sun bathed the
canyon in its warm light.
The Grand Canyon is a magical but busy place.If you like your
wilderness experience to be wild, consider visiting in the off-season,
between October and April.The South Kaibab Trail offers wonderful
views and relative silence for not much effort, but be sure to pack
sunscreen, snacks and lots of water.Even meandering along the
South Edge Trail from Grand Canyon Village will allow you to escape
the groups of visitors.

A growing body of research shows that experiencing nature can
improve your health and may reduce death risks.Even short nature
breaks can be beneficial.According to a recent study, people who
spent just 20 minutes in a place where they felt connected to nature
experienced a drop in stress hormones (激素).
Nature’s effects don’t require time spent in the complete
wilderness.Even caring for the house plants may be good for
you.Peter James, an assistant professor at the Harvard Medical
School, said, “You should start thinking of these experiences as a
necessity that we need to live healthy lives.”
A 2017 review found research that suggested links between 20
health benefits and spending time outdoors, including better sleep,
reduced depression, increased social connection, improved
recovery from operations, and better health for cancer survivors.
Any natural environment may provide therapeutic (治疗的)
effects, says Jessica Finlay, an environmental gerontologist at the
University of Michigan’s Institute for Social Research.For
example, people have traditionally traveled to the sea or to other
sources of water for healing purposes.
There are four primary ways that nature may improve health,
James says.First, it provides a safeguard from air pollution, noise
pollution, and heat, all of which are linked to a higher risk of
chronic (慢性的) disease.Second, nature—whether it’s a tree-
lined street or a forest—provides a chance to be physically active,
which can improve health in a number of ways, especially by
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。科学表明,亲近自然有助于改善健
康,降低死亡风险。
lowering the risk of cancer and by improving mental health.Third,
nature provides opportunities to socialize with friends, which is
associated with improved health.The fourth way may be the most
interesting, according to James and other experts.Nature may
improve health directly by helping people recover from stress and
restore their focus.
8. How can a 20-minute walk in nature benefit people?
A. By cutting them off from the world.
B. By curing them of their diseases.
C. By making them feel connected.
D. By reducing their pressure.
解析:细节理解题。根据第一段中的people who spent just 20
minutes in a place where they felt connected to nature experienced
a drop in stress hormones (激素)可知,在大自然中行走20分钟
能使人减轻压力。
9. What does James suggest those who want to enjoy healthy lives
do?
A. Get involved in gardening actively.
B. Focus on modern medical science.
C. Get close to nature as often as possible.
D. Kick the habit of camping in the wild.
解析:推理判断题。根据第二段内容可推知,James建议人们将亲
近自然作为生活必需,要经常接近大自然。
10. What can we infer about spending time outdoors from the 2017
review?
A. It raises some doubts.
B. It increases health risks greatly.
C. It improves social communication.
D. It makes people exposed to noise pollution.
解析:推理判断题。根据第三段内容可推知,花时间在户外活动
有助于人们的社交沟通。

A. The power of nature.
B. Different styles of outdoor activities.
C. A rising trend of living in the open air.
D. The influence of nature on people’s behavior.

改善健康和降低死亡风险的作用,揭示了自然的力量,A项能概

A recent global study, which surveyed 10,000 young people
from 10 countries, showed that nearly 60 per cent of them were
extremely worried about the future state of the planet.The report also
showed that nearly half of the respondents (受访者) said that such
distress affected them daily, and three-quarters agreed with the
statement that “the future is frightening”.This, and many other
studies, show clearly that climate change is not just a threat to the
environment.It also poses a very real threat to our mental health.
Psychologists have classified these feelings of sadness, distress,
and worry about the current climate emergency as eco-anxiety.According to the Climate Psychology Alliance, eco-anxiety is
defined as the “intense physical and mental discomfort in response to
dangerous changes in the climate system”.
Eco-anxiety doesn’t just affect young people.It also affects
researchers who work in climate and ecological science, burdened by
the reality discovered in their findings, and it affects the poor people
across the globe, who hopelessly bear the harmful impacts of climate
breakdown.
In recent years, we’ve seen wildfires tear through Canada and
Greece, and summer floods destroy regions in Pakistan that are
home to nearly 33 million people.Studies have shown that those
impacted by air pollution and rising temperatures are more likely to
experience mental distress.
The cause of this mental distress is absolutely external.According
to Caroline Hickman, a researcher on eco-anxiety from the
University of Bath, anyone experiencing these emotions is displaying
entirely natural and rational reactions to the climate crisis.Her
suggestion? Take eco-anxiety as a tool for good—as an emotion that
can urge people to act in protection of our planet.
This is why, in future, we will also see more people around the
world join the fight for climate justice and apply for jobs that seek
sustainable development.Eco-anxiety is not something we will defeat
with therapy—we will solve it by taking action.
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。气候变化不仅威胁我们所居住的环
境,它还对我们的情绪健康构成了非常现实的威胁。文章主要介绍
了生态焦虑,并分析了它的影响以及应对策略。
12. What does the underlined word “distress” in Paragraph 1
mean?
A. Shock. B. Anxiety.
C. Fear. D. Anger.

13. What is eco-anxiety according to the Climate Psychology
Alliance?
A. It is a strong reaction to the natural disasters.
B. It is a kind of mental disease for the young people.
C. It is a physical and mental discomfort when we meet
difficulties.
D. It is a strong physical and mental discomfort for the dangerous
climate changes.
解析:细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句可知,根据气候心理学
联盟的说法,生态焦虑被定义为“对气候系统危险变化的强烈的
身体和精神不适”。
14. What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 3?
A. The process of eco-anxiety.
B. The impact of eco-anxiety.
C. The causes of eco-anxiety.
D. The benefits of eco-anxiety.
解析:段落大意题。根据第三段内容可知,第三段主要讨论了生
态焦虑的影响。
15. What’s the approach to solving eco-anxiety according to
Caroline Hickman?
A. Defeat it with a therapy.
B. Just wait for a good solution.
C. Join the fight for climate justice.
D. Use it to urge people to protect our earth.
解析:细节理解题。根据倒数第二段最后一句可知,根据
Caroline Hickman的说法,解决生态焦虑的方法是用它来敦促人
们保护我们的地球。

without harming natural and cultural environments. 16. ( ) Here are some concrete ways to reduce your environmental impact as a traveler.
F
17. ( ) Travel doesn’t have to be about going somewhere far away.It’s the art of exploration, discovery and getting out of your comfort zone, all of which can just as well be nearby.Find somewhere nearby you haven’t been, get in your car, and go for a visit.You never know what you’ll come across.

D
Avoid over-visited destinations.If you can, avoid places with
over-tourism.You’ll find fewer crowds and lower prices, and you
also won’t be putting as much pressure on local communities
struggling to keep up.And, from a personal-enjoyment point of
view, who wants to deal with crowds or long lines? No one.
19.( )

I was packed and ready to go skiing for the first time. It felt
like I was about to take an adventure with the world at my feet.
Feeling empowered, I knew something brilliant was going to come
out of the trip. I was more than excited at the thought of spending
an entire week with my best friend, Lindsay, hanging out and
enjoying winter.
Early Monday morning my youth group boarded our bus for
the ski trip. Once at the destination, we saw the skiers floating so
easily and gracefully down the slopes. By the time I got my skis and
boots, I was confident I’d be a fantastic skier. During the
lessons, I mastered the art of skiing within 30 minutes. After
spending most of the time practicing again and again on the run for
beginners, we were able to fly down the hill by the end of the day.
In the evening, we all felt extremely plaining about the
pain our ski boots had caused, Lindsay and I decided we weren’t
skiing the next day.
Well, of course, our friends wouldn’t hear of that.
So, the next morning we found ourselves in line for the ski lift,
which wound its way up the high mountain. Lindsay and I stared
helplessly at each other, our eyes showing nothing but fear. After I
got into the lift, I sat totally still on the chair with my eyes closely
shut, not daring to look outside. The lift rose so fast that before I
knew it, I had floated up the mountain. When I finally opened my
eyes, I found myself at the top in one piece. Thank goodness I was
still alive!
Standing at the top of the long slope, with the skis pointing
downward, I realized I was shaking. I glanced at Lindsay and found
that she was scared too, for her poles kept tapping rapidly against
the sides of her boots.
Taking a deep breath and gathering all our courage, we gave
each other an encouraging nod and both took off. At first I barely
moved, but slowly I allowed myself to gain some speed. Soon I was
shooting down the mountain with my heart beating wildly.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式作答。
Then a sharp turning suddenly came into view.
I was on the point of crying when I felt a hand
on my shoulder.
Then a sharp turning suddenly came into view. I knew I had to
stop, but I was moving too fast to control myself. I tried
everything, but in vain. There was only one final option—falling
over. After rolling for what felt like forever, I lay still, head
dizzy. Worse still, my joints were painful and every muscle hurt.
I knew there was no way I could keep going. When I struggled to
my feet and brushed the snow off, the terrible truth hit me: I
still had half the mountain to go!
参考范文:
I was on the point of crying when I felt a hand on my shoulder.
It was Lindsay. “I have to quit,” I said hopelessly. Pointing to
some skillful skiers, Lindsay said, “Look, they are skiing so
easily. Come on, I believe we can make it, too.” Looking at
her determined expression, I was instantly inspired and seconds
later we were both skiing down the slope. Along the way there were
a few more falls, but we were not defeated. At the bottom, I
glanced up the mountain and felt a wave of gratitude and pride.
Thanks to Lindsay’s encouragement, I had overcome my fears
and learned to face challenges bravely.
