Supposing you love to visit places where you could camp, relax and even learn history, you might want to see the amazing landscape of national parks in California (CA)! The parks would catch your eye with its various geographical features. Death Valley National Park (DVNP) is one of the top national parks in California that you might regret missing.
BACKGROUND
Today, DVNP is known as one of the hottest and driest places in America, but would you believe it was once a lake more or less 20,000 years ago Time changes its appearance and makes it a fantastic location today. With summer temperature reaching 120 degrees, this below-sea-level basin, despite its name, is still one of the well-known California State Parks, mainly due to its extreme beauty.
HOW TO GET THERE
You could take CA Highway 190; it is the main road crossing DVNP from east to west. The State Route 95 parallels the Park from North to South.
THINGS TO DO
Exploring the whole Death Valley Park would take extra time and effort, but it is worth it. To reach the Park’s popular attractions, such as Devils Golf Course and Natural Bridge Canyon, you could begin exploring the park from the central location, which is the Furnace Creek.
Scotty’s Castle is one of the symbolic attractions of Death Valley. You could also find traces of its volcanic past by visiting Ubehebe Crater in the Grapevine area.
And if you want a unique way to experience the depth, you could visit the Badwater Basin region; it would allow you to explore 280 feet below sea level!
THINGS TO REMEMBER
Upon exploring the Park, take note that your destinations are located in different areas, and useful facilities are only available when you are along highway. Nighttime travel allows you to see the fascinating sight of the night sky and stars of DVNP.
1. What can we learn about Death Valley National Park (DVNP) from the “BACKGROUND” part
A. It has been a dry area for 20,000 years B. Its summer temperature goes up to 120 degrees.
C. It is named after its dangerous environment. D. It is not popular because of the extreme climate.
2. Which is the central location to start exploring DVNP’s popular attractions
A. Furnace Creek B. Devils Golf Course C. Scotty’s Castle D. Badwater Basin

It is hard to say I was a runner years ago. The longest I had ever run was 5 km. What’s more, I didn’t like running. No matter how hard I tried, every so often I would fasten my old shoes, walk out of the house with heavy steps, get less than a mile in and wonder why I was bothering, especially when there were many more satisfying ways of exercising.
Before last summer, I had never taken part in any kind of race at all. But at the end of July, I completed a triathlon (铁人三项) after two weeks’ training. At the end of it came the run — which ended up more like a walk. Then I realized something about it attracted me. The extremely painful fun of doing something I hated and was unprepared for turned out to be an excitement. The difficulty felt like something to test my abilities.
When an invitation to the Berlin Marathon dropped onto my desk a few weeks after the triathlon, it felt like a change of fate. After the triathlon, I didn’t rush to start running regularly. Was it because I hate running On the contrary, in the course of running I enjoyed the thrill of exceeding (超越) my limits. I felt it necessary to find out again where those limits might lie. So I said yes.
Training for a marathon often takes at least 20 weeks. The training plan has become something to ease my worries when the race seems too frightening. This worry feels impossible to avoid, but there is something equally sure about the training plan: if I follow it, then I have done everything I can; if I do everything I can, then I won’t regret what comes at the end.
4. Why did the author often give up running within a mile in the past
A. He found running less enjoyable. B. His old shoes weren’t suitable for running.
C. He was afraid of failing in running. D. He felt his steps heavy when running.
5. What can we learn about the author’s triathlon experience
A. He spent more than two weeks preparing for it.
B. The running part of it was completed mainly by walking.
C. It made him realize he was born to be a runner.
6. What made the author accept the Berlin Marathon invitation
A. The desire to prove his running ability to others. B. The confidence gained from completing the triathlon.
C. The pleasure of pushing beyond his own limits. D. The hope of avoiding regret in the future.
7. Which of the following is the best title for the passage

C. How to Prepare for a Marathon as a Beginner. D. My First Triathlon Experience Changed My Life.
C
Scientists are enlisting some special participants in their efforts to predict earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and other natural events. Among these participants are thousands of dogs, goats, and other farmyard animals, which are involved in studies monitoring their movements from space.
The programme uses tiny tracking devices (装置) that are fitted to mammals, birds and insects. The detailed movements of these creatures will then be monitored from a special satellite that will be launched into space next year. The aim is to study how they react to oncoming natural events like volcanic eruptions.
“The value of studying animals with markers has already been shown in early experiments on Mount Etna,” said Wikelski, the project leader, last week. “We have found the behaviour of goats is pretty good at predicting large volcanic eruptions.” Sensors have shown the animals become nervous before an eruption and refuse to move to higher grasslands that they would normally be happy to visit. “They know beforehand what is coming. We don’t know how they do it, but they do.” said Wikelski.
Stories of animals behaving strangely before earthquakes or eruptions are not new. The Greek historian Thucydides claimed that mice, dogs and snakes deserted the city of Helice just before an earthquake struck in 373 BC. Similarly, the 1975 Haicheng earthquake in China occurred after snakes and mice were witnessed leaving their caves.
“Why these animals behaved this way is less clear, but understanding how creatures react to geological changes is just one interesting part of this technological change”, said Wikelski. “For instance, we can also survey wildlife health from space,” he said. An example is provided by electronic ear markers that have been attached to wild pigs. From changes in an animal’s movements, these markers show that if a wild pig develops African swine fever (ASF), the disease spreads. easily between wild pigs and farm pigs. Knowing when a disease outbreak occurs in the wild could be important for reducing the disease’s impact on farms. “This is a game-changer for wildlife disease monitoring,” said Kevin Morelle, a scientist based at the Max Planck Institute.
8. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 3 mean
A. We are unsure of animals’ reaction but they react.
B. We can’t study animals’ movements but they move.
C. We can’t understand animals’ behavior but they behave.
D. We don’t know animals’ prediction method but they can predict.
9. Why are the cities of Helice and Haicheng mentioned in paragraph 4
A. To describe city disasters. B. To show historical records.
C. To prove animal early warnings. D. To compare different earthquakes.
10. What’s the potential application of animal-disease study
A. Guessing how diseases might spread between wild animals and farm animals.
B. Stopping animal diseases from starting by changing where the animals live.
C. Protecting farm animals by discovering when diseases spread from wild animals.
D. Studying how sick animals move to make new ways to treat their diseases.
11. What might the author continue talking about
A. Other natural events to predict. B. Further uses of the animal studies.
C. More examples of animal behaviors. D. New methods of satellite monitoring.
D
There are 7,000 languages currently spoken worldwide, with English being the most widely used — around 1.35 billion people speak it, but half of them could be endangered, according to a new study. It is predicted that 1,500 known languages may no longer be spoken by the end of this century.
Researchers from The Australian National University (ANU) analyzed thousands of languages to recognize factors that put endangered ones at risk. The findings highlight a connection between widespread formal schooling and language loss, as the main languages taught in class often make local languages less important
A second factor causing the threat to endangered languages is the density (密度) of roads in an area. While communication with other language communities can help preserve local languages, increased connection to the wider world may not do so.
“We found that the more roads there are, connecting country to city, and villages to towns, the higher the risk of languages being endangered. It’s as if roads are helping main languages take over other smaller languages,” said Professor Lindell Bronham, one of the researchers of the study.
Can technology help save local languages While past studies have pointed out technology is contributing to the decline of some local languages — by focusing attention on a few major languages at the expense of smaller ones — today’s technology could hold a new solution.
While there are websites and apps to help learners pick up widely spoken languages such as Spanish, English and Chinese, some have been redesigned to teach or preserve endangered ones. Ma! Iwaidja, for example, is an app that enables those working with speakers of the Iwaidja local Australian language to record words and translations. It also includes a dictionary and a word maker to help users master grammar and vocabulary.
12. What’s one reason for the loss of languages according to the findings
A Lack of native speakers. B. Lack of school education.
C. Impact of major languages. D. School teaching of major languages.
13. Which of the following might Bronham agree with
A. Roads help preserve local languages.
B. The increase in roads does harm to endangered languages.
C. Roads in the countryside help endangered languages survive.
D. Contact with other languages can protect endangered languages.
14. What’s the author’s attitude towards technology in saving local languages
A. Curious. B. Doubtful. C. Favorable, D. Unclear.
15. What is the main purpose in writing the text
A. To analyze the causes of language loss and a possible solution.
B. To discuss the necessity of promoting educational equality
C. To highlight the importance of learning more languages.
D. To explain why English is the most widely spoken language.

Offer a friendly greeting or introduction to start the conversation.
____16____ If you’re seeing someone you already know, just say hello and greet them by their name. This is simple and direct and lets the person know you’re excited to talk. If you don’t know the person, introduce yourself first so you feel more confident and in control of the conversation.

If you hear something that interests you, ask them for more information. Try to jump on any subject the other person brings up that you also have experience with. Horseback riding, travel spots, music artists-as long as it’s lighthearted and forms a connection it’s a fair game
Keep things light and positive, and avoid serious topics.
Small talk is just that-small. To keep the atmosphere relaxing, avoid such topics as politics, religion, and relationships. ____19____. Instead, stick to everyday things like weather.

Christmas Eve Without Loneliness
My mom was a single mom, and I was her only child. We lived in a small house for years, but she had a kind heart-she always invited lonely people to our home on holidays. Every December, she’d tell strangers, coworkers, or anyone with no Christmas Eve plans, “Come over! No one should be alone.” She even knew how to help shy people feel comfortable. Once, she asked a quiet old lady from downstairs to stir hot cocoa. By night’s end, the lady was laughing with everyone. Mom often said, “Giving people a little task helps them forget their nerves.”
Last year, a new neighbor named George moved in next door. He was very quiet-when we ran into each other, he would only nod quickly to say hello and never stop to chat. If we made eye contact, he would twist the edge of his jacket with his fingers and then look away in a hurry, as if he had been caught doing something wrong. Sometimes when we were watering plants in the garden in front of our house, I would see him pause at his door, like he wanted to say something. But before we could wave at him, he would lower his head and hurry into his house
Around Thanksgiving, we met George while carrying groceries at the doorway. “Got any holiday plans ” Mom asked warmly, her voice soft not to scare him. George froze, then shook his head, his ears turning pink. “Just... staying home,” he mumbled, staring at my grocery bag instead of our eyes. “Join our open house party!” Mom smiled. “Lots of food, and we can get to know each other.”
George’s cheeks turned redder. He stepped back, looking overwhelmed. “Thank you, but I... I’m bad with crowds. New people make me nervous,” he said quietly, scratching his neck nervously. He apologized quickly and closed his door softly. Mom patted my shoulder: “Being shy around strangers is hard, especially on holidays. We need to reach out slowly.” That night, I thought about George’s nervous little movements and felt sorry for him. We had to help him feel welcome, just like Mom did for the old lady
注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Para 1. Inspired by Mom’s kindness, I came up with a gentle way to reach George.
