Family vacations can supply lifelong memories, so it’s important to travel to the perfect place. Here are four popular destinations (目地) in the US that will satisfy your family.
Orlando
Orlando hosts a handful of theme parks that are sure to excite youths, including Universal Orlando Resort, where you'll find The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, and Discovery Cove, a resort (旅游胜地) where you can swim with dolphins around the park’s coral reef.
Anaheim-Disneyland
Home to Disneyland Resort since 1955, Anaheim, California, has enough magical attractions to keep families entertained. After catching up with Mickey and friends, visit Anaheim’s Adventure City amusement park. And if you’re in town during baseball season, you can catch a game at Angel Stadium. Note that Disneyland is busy year-round, but if you visit on a weekday, you’ll likely encounter fewer people.
Wisconsin Dells
Known as “The Water Park Capital of the World,” Wisconsin Dells makes for a great family vacation spot with plenty of things to do. Take your pick of splash-filled venues from Noah’s Ark Waterpark to Kalahari Resorts. When you need a break on dry land, head to a magic show at Rick Wilcox Magic Theater or admire animals like giraffes and tigers at Timbavati Wildlife Park. Because of this destination’s popularity, you’d better avoid the weekends.
Grand Canyon National Park
With so much to see and do here, there’s no chance anyone in your family will be bored in this park. Enjoy one of the park’s many light hikes, admire the view from the Grand Canyon Skywalk, raft the Colorado River or go for a ride on the Grand Canyon Railway. The Grand Canyon is pretty budget-friendly considering its low ticket prices, but know that nearby hotels book up quickly in summer.

It is hard to say the first day of school in the United States because when the first day of school is and what happens on the first day of school usually are different by districts（地区）.
The first day of school for many school districts in different states is on the day after the first Monday in September. In some other school districts, school begins in mid-to-late August. For example, the Denver, Colorado schools go back in mid-August and schools in Cleveland, Ohio start back usually one week before the first Monday in September.

Schools in Cleveland, Ohio used to start the school year on the day after the first Monday in September, but in the 1976-1977 and 1977-1978 academic years, the school year was affected by several bad snowstorms, extreme cold.

This went into effect in the 1980-1981 school year.
In most school districts in Utah, the school year starts between August 25 and August 30, and goes until the last week of May or the first week in June next year.
In American high schools, the freshmen class usually goes back one or two days before the rest of the school body for an orientation（迎新）period. An orientation period helps the freshmen get familiar with their new school, its rules, and surroundings.

Zu Wenbao is a 23-year-old young man with autism (自闭症). It can be hard for a person with autism to find a job or make friends. The disease is not well known and there is not much support for people like Zu. He is nonverbal, which means he does not speak. But he is doing better now as he is learning music and spending time with other young people at a school called Chen’s Studio in Beijing.
Chen’s Studio started offering music lessons for people with autism when the pandemic (流行病) started.
Zu’s mother, Zhao Guorong, brings her son to the music school every Sunday so he can study with the teacher,
Chen Shensi. It takes them two hours on three different buses to get to the classroom from their home outside of Beijing. At the Beijing studio, Zu learned how to play the keyboards and sing in a band called Star Kids.
“Without music, without these lessons, he wouldn’t have anything, Zhao said. The children he grew up with, she said, all have jobs or go to school. She said her son would not have any people to socialize with if it were not for the music school. Although Zu is older than the other young people at Chen’s Studio, "they all take care of him like he’s their brother,” Zhao said.
Chen knows the young people with autism will have trouble getting jobs, so he hopes music will help them make a living. The Star Kids band has already played some concerts.
At the start, it was hard. Chen became frustrated (沮丧的) when he had trouble communicating with his students. However, it eventually became easier. He said he knows it is hard for them to communicate. But “to some degree, I think music might be their language”.
8. What is the feature of people with autism
A. They have lost the ability to speak. B. They are talented in learning music.
C. Their conditions can’t be improved. D. They have difficulty making friends.
9. What do we know about Zu Wenbao
A. He is poor and has nothing. B. He is lonely with no friends.
C. He is the oldest in his class. D. He has found a job recently.
10. What was Zhao Guorong’s attitude towards Chen’s Studio
A. Doubtful. B. Grateful. C. Dissatisfied. D. Concerned.
11. What is the goal of Chen’s Studio
A. To help people with autism make a living. B. To teach people with autism a language.
C. To provide people with autism with jobs. D. To help people with autism become music stars.
D
In the past few decades, great progress has been made in the field of space exploration, which has enabled mankind to have a deeper understanding of the solar system, our place in it and in the universe. “We sent probes to every planet in the solar system. This is by far the best one,” said Clayton, vice president of Blue Origin.” Let’s focus right now on protecting the Earth environment, and then we’ll go from there.”
Clayton also mentioned that space science and technology should be people-centric and application-centric, and focus on improving human life. We need to have a strong footing on the Earth, learn to solve the day-to-day problems of the society.
“Space technology can help achieve the 17 sustainable development goals to be achieved by 2030 set by the United Nations. Satellite monitoring can really help with agriculture,” said Victoria, CEO of a company working on sustainable development. “Through Global Navigation Satellite System, animals’ movement information recorded on self-recharging devices can be transmitted to the company’s server. Farmers can be warned in real time if anomalies (异常现象) are noticed. We can also use it to ensure the traceability of the entire meat supply chain.”
As early as 2007, Michael Griffin, former Administrator of NASA, put forward the idea of the “space economy” in a speech. He was very optimistic about the market of commercial space and said, “According to the latest data, the global space industry could reach $1 trillion in 2040, up from $378 billion currently.”
As an entrepreneur (创业者) herself, Victoria thinks the thriving space market will bring countless opportunities for entrepreneurs. She mentioned future settlements on Mars or on the Moon, “If we are going to develop a new society outside the Earth, we will need all types of applications and all types of start-ups.”
12. What does the underlined word “This” in Paragraph 1 refer to
A. A successful space exploration. B. A probe sent to some other planet.
C. The planet people are living on now. D. The solar system people are exploring.
13. In Clayton’s opinion, what should be the first concern about space technology
A. Providing more financial support. B. Improving people’s life on earth.
C. Sending more probes into space. D. The development of related technology.
14. How does Victoria support her statement about satellite monitoring in Paragraph 3
A. By making reasoning. B. By making comparison.
C. By providing accurate figures. D. By illustrating it from different aspects.
15. What does the text mainly talk about
A. Necessities of space exploration. B. Breakthroughs in space exploration.
C. Possible application of space technology. D. Serious issues about space technology.

Peter woke up early in the morning. He went downstairs in a hurry and started to have his breakfast as quickly as possible.
“Why are you in such a hurry, early bird ” Mum asked him. “We will have an English spelling test today, Mum,” Peter said. “Mr. White promised to offer prizes to those who get 100 scores. I’ve been studying the word list since last week. Although the words are difficult, I am well prepared for them.”
Peter reviewed the spelling of each word once more carefully when Dad drove him to school. At last, it was time for the students to have a test. “Responsibility,” Mr. White started. Peter wrote it on his test paper quickly and confidently.
“The second word: contribution,” Mr. White said.
“So easy,” Peter thought. He quickly wrote the word down.
Thirty words later, the test papers were collected by Mr. White. “I am to mark your papers now,” he told the class. After marking the test papers, Mr. White said, “three of you won a prize today for excellent test scores. Peter, David and Mary got 100 percent on the spelling test!”
Mr. White praised them. Meanwhile, he gave the three students each a dictionary. Peter’s was an English-Chinese dictionary — the one he liked best. Peter was so excited that he held it high when his classmates cheered. “This is my happiest moment,” Peter thought.
After Mr. White gave the test paper back, Peter had a look at the words, feeling proud of his spelling. All of a sudden, the word “contribution” confused him. It didn’t seem right. Peter began to compare them after taking out the word list. “C-o-n-t-r-i-b-u-s-i-o-n,” he whispered. He had spelled it wrong.
“What am I to do ” Peter said to himself. “I expect my classmates to think I’m a master in spelling. If I tell Mr. White one of my spelling words is wrong I’ll have to give my prize back, or I will become an example for telling a lie”.
Staring at the red sign “100%” which was written at his test paper, Peter was lost in thought. After a while, he remembered a lesson Mum used to teach him, “We ought to be an honest person.”
Paragraph 1:
Slowly, Peter raised his hand.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Peter looked around and found many of his classmates were smiling at him.

Zu Wenbao is a 23-year-old young man with autism (自闭症). It can be hard for a person with autism to find a job or make friends. The disease is not well known and there is not much support for people like Zu. He is nonverbal, which means he does not speak. But he is doing better now as he is learning music and spending time with other young people at a school called Chen’s Studio in Beijing.
Chen’s Studio started offering music lessons for people with autism when the pandemic (流行病) started.
Zu’s mother, Zhao Guorong, brings her son to the music school every Sunday so he can study with the teacher,
Chen Shensi. It takes them two hours on three different buses to get to the classroom from their home outside of Beijing. At the Beijing studio, Zu learned how to play the keyboards and sing in a band called Star Kids.
“Without music, without these lessons, he wouldn’t have anything, Zhao said. The children he grew up with, she said, all have jobs or go to school. She said her son would not have any people to socialize with if it were not for the music school. Although Zu is older than the other young people at Chen’s Studio, "they all take care of him like he’s their brother,” Zhao said.
Chen knows the young people with autism will have trouble getting jobs, so he hopes music will help them make a living. The Star Kids band has already played some concerts.
At the start, it was hard. Chen became frustrated (沮丧的) when he had trouble communicating with his students. However, it eventually became easier. He said he knows it is hard for them to communicate. But “to some degree, I think music might be their language”.
8. What is the feature of people with autism
A. They have lost the ability to speak. B. They are talented in learning music.

C. He is the oldest in his class. D. He has found a job recently.

In the past few decades, great progress has been made in the field of space exploration, which has enabled mankind to have a deeper understanding of the solar system, our place in it and in the universe. “We sent probes to every planet in the solar system. This is by far the best one,” said Clayton, vice president of Blue Origin.” Let’s focus right now on protecting the Earth environment, and then we’ll go from there.”
Clayton also mentioned that space science and technology should be people-centric and application-centric, and focus on improving human life. We need to have a strong footing on the Earth, learn to solve the day-to-day problems of the society.
“Space technology can help achieve the 17 sustainable development goals to be achieved by 2030 set by the United Nations. Satellite monitoring can really help with agriculture,” said Victoria, CEO of a company working on sustainable development. “Through Global Navigation Satellite System, animals’ movement information recorded on self-recharging devices can be transmitted to the company’s server. Farmers can be warned in real time if anomalies (异常现象) are noticed. We can also use it to ensure the traceability of the entire meat supply chain.”
As early as 2007, Michael Griffin, former Administrator of NASA, put forward the idea of the “space economy” in a speech. He was very optimistic about the market of commercial space and said, “According to the latest data, the global space industry could reach $1 trillion in 2040, up from $378 billion currently.”
As an entrepreneur (创业者) herself, Victoria thinks the thriving space market will bring countless opportunities for entrepreneurs. She mentioned future settlements on Mars or on the Moon, “If we are going to develop a new society outside the Earth, we will need all types of applications and all types of start-ups.”
12. What does the underlined word “This” in Paragraph 1 refer to
A. A successful space exploration. B. A probe sent to some other planet.
C. The planet people are living on now. D. The solar system people are exploring.
13. In Clayton’s opinion, what should be the first concern about space technology
A. Providing more financial support. B. Improving people’s life on earth.
C. Sending more probes into space. D. The development of related technology.
14. How does Victoria support her statement about satellite monitoring in Paragraph 3
A. By making reasoning. B. By making comparison.
C. By providing accurate figures. D. By illustrating it from different aspects.
15. What does the text mainly talk about
A. Necessities of space exploration. B. Breakthroughs in space exploration.
C. Possible application of space technology. D. Serious issues about space technology.

注意：只需续写第一段，词数为100左右；注意一二两段的衔接。
Peter woke up early in the morning. He went downstairs in a hurry and started to have his breakfast as quickly as possible.
“Why are you in such a hurry, early bird ” Mum asked him. “We will have an English spelling test today, Mum,” Peter said. “Mr. White promised to offer prizes to those who get 100 scores. I’ve been studying the word list since last week. Although the words are difficult, I am well prepared for them.”
Peter reviewed the spelling of each word once more carefully when Dad drove him to school. At last, it was time for the students to have a test. “Responsibility,” Mr. White started. Peter wrote it on his test paper quickly and confidently.
“The second word: contribution,” Mr. White said.
“So easy,” Peter thought. He quickly wrote the word down.
Thirty words later, the test papers were collected by Mr. White. “I am to mark your papers now,” he told the class. After marking the test papers, Mr. White said, “three of you won a prize today for excellent test scores. Peter, David and Mary got 100 percent on the spelling test!”
Mr. White praised them. Meanwhile, he gave the three students each a dictionary. Peter’s was an English-Chinese dictionary — the one he liked best. Peter was so excited that he held it high when his classmates cheered. “This is my happiest moment,” Peter thought.
After Mr. White gave the test paper back, Peter had a look at the words, feeling proud of his spelling. All of a sudden, the word “contribution” confused him. It didn’t seem right. Peter began to compare them after taking out the word list. “C-o-n-t-r-i-b-u-s-i-o-n,” he whispered. He had spelled it wrong.
“What am I to do ” Peter said to himself. “I expect my classmates to think I’m a master in spelling. If I tell Mr. White one of my spelling words is wrong I’ll have to give my prize back, or I will become an example for telling a lie”.
Staring at the red sign “100%” which was written at his test paper, Peter was lost in thought. After a while, he remembered a lesson Mum used to teach him, “We ought to be an honest person.”
Paragraph 1:
Slowly, Peter raised his hand.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Peter looked around and found many of his classmates were smiling at him.
【答案】
Slowly, Peter raised his hand. “Mr. White, I didn’t get full marks on the test. I made a mistake.” He stood up and handed his teacher the dictionary he liked best and his test paper. He said, “I spelled contribution with ’s-i’ instead of ‘t-i’.” Peter could feel his classmates looking at him with surprise as he walked back to his desk. To his surprise, Mr. White held up Peter’s testpaper. “Class,” he said, “Peter did something even more important than spelling every word correctly in a test.” Mr. White smiled at Peter, adding that Peter taught us all a lesson on being honest.
