330 million nature lovers from all over the world　visited US national parks in 2018. This summer, visitors　will have a new park to explore. Indiana Dunes National　Park started on February 15, 2019. Just 50 miles from　Chicago, the park is doable as a day trip or a multi?day　adventure.
Located (位于) in northwestern Indiana along the shore of Lake Michigan, Indiana
Dunes is the first national park in this state. The park is already Indiana's most?visited site,
with about 3.5 million visitors each year. Here's what to know before you visit.
The park's most impressive features (特点) are its towering sand dunes. Formed by
glacial melt (冰川融化), the park's namesake dunes can reach heights of almost 200 feet.
Strong winds blowing off Michigan continually shape and change the park's 15 miles of
shoreline, ensuring a slightly different experience each time you visit.
The warm months are the best time to take full advantage of the park's beach. But the
park is worth visiting in any season. You can do different activities in different seasons. To
see beautiful fall leaves, plan your visit in autumn. Or explore the park in winter and enjoy
far fewer crowds. If you visit in spring, just enjoy your walk for beautiful flowers.
A 3.5?mile path showing the best the park has to offer. The most famous dune is
Mount Baldy, and on certain days you can actually climb to the top of this sand dune to
enjoy open views of the surrounding landscape (风景). Other outdoor activities at Indiana
Dunes National Park include biking, boating, and fishing. Of course, swimming in Lake
Michigan is one of the most beloved activities, but it's important to be mindful of changing
water conditions. Like an ocean, Lake Michigan can be calm one minute and dangerous the
next.
The park's Dunewood Campground has 66 campsites and is equipped with restrooms
and showers. It is first?come, first?served, and the fee is $25 per night. If you don't want
to camp, several other accommodations (住宿)around Indiana Dunes don't require sleeping
in a tent. Everything from bed and breakfasts to hotels is available.
If you're flying to the Midwest, the airports nearest to Indiana Dunes are South Bend
International in South Bend, about 45 miles away, and both Midway and O'Hare in
Chicago. From Indianapolis, the drive is about 2.5 hours. The park's main gate is just off
I?94 and is easily accessed from the Indiana Toll Road. Take the exit for IN?49 and you will
pass right by the visitor center where you can park, head in to get a map, and plan the day.
The park fee is just $6 per car and $80 for a season pass.

35. Where is the park located?
36. Why is the park worth visiting in any season?
37. What can you do on the top of Mount Baldy?

The Angel of the North
The Angel of the North is a modern sculpture (雕塑) in Gateshead, Tyne and Wear, England, designed by Antony Gormley. Completed in 1998, it is a steel sculpture of an angel, 20 metres tall,with wings measuring 54 metres across. The angel, like much of Gormley’s other work, is based on the shape of his own body.
According to the artist himself, the Angel of the North symbolises (象征着) the change from
the industrial to the information age and stands proudly as a beacon (灯塔) of hope for the future of
the region.
It cost ￡800,000 to make, with the money coming from the British government. It took four
years to make the sculpture. It was made in three parts, the body, which weighed 100 tons, and two
wings, which weighed 50 tons each. Angels are usually thought of being white, as they represent
light, but Gormley’s Angel of the North is a reddish brown colour. This is because the steel has a
special paint to protect it from strong wind.
The parts of the angel were moved from Hartlepool to Gateshead at night in big trucks. It took
5 hours to move everything, even though the journey is very short. The Angel of the North was put
on the hill in Birtley on the 15th of February, 1998.
The sculpture was made in memory of the coal miners who worked hard in the dark earth
below the hill to bring wealth to the North East in the 19th and 20th centuries. It is a sign for
Gateshead.
The sculpture has since become one of the most famous landmarks in England as can be seen
in television and film. It is the largest sculpture in Britain. Over 150,000 people come to Gateshead
to see the sculpture every year.
34．Who designed the Angel of the North?
35．How long did it take to make the sculpture?
36．What is the color of the Angel of the North?
37．When was the Angel of the North put on the hill in Birtley?

Englishmen are well known for the amount of tea that they drink. The average person in the UK drink around 1.9 kg of tea every year. That’s around 876 cups of tea. Tea is drunk by the whole society. But tea is not native(本土的) to Britain. Most tea is grown in India and China. So, how did it become an important part of British culture?
Tea arrived in London in the 1600s. At this time, British ships were exploring the world and came across(偶然发现) the drink in China. It was not long before green tea could be bought. However, this could be only bought by the richer people in the UK.
At the beginning of the 1700s, the amount of tea arriving in Britain increased gradually. Black tea arrived at this time. At first people drank this tea exactly as it was in China. They soon discovered that tea tasted good with a little milk and sugar in it. That’s just the special British characteristic(特征) about it.
In the 1800s, tea was still a product enjoyed only by people with money. At this time they began to have “afternoon tea”. This means drinking tea with snacks (零食) around 4 pm. Because it can help people to avoid feeling hungry between lunch and dinner. It is a tradition that is still going today but has become less popular in recent times.
In the late 1800s, the price of tea went down sharply as more tea began to arrive on ships from India and China. It was no longer a drink just for rich people and everyone could enjoy it. Tearooms — shops where you could buy and drink tea — started to appear across the country. People enjoyed drinking tea and socializing(社交) in these places. At the start of the 20th century, Englishmen began to make tea in their homes whenever they felt like it. Teapots became necessary in every kitchen.
34. Is tea native to Britain?
35. What is the British characteristic of tea?
36. What does “afternoon tea” mean?
37. When could everyone in Britain enjoy tea?
38. What is the passage mainly about?

You can study the English language for years but still not understand a native (本地的) speaker of English when you meet one. Native speakers say a lot of things, but you can’t find them in any dictionary. Well, don’t worry. Here’s a secret: a lot of British people can’t understand each other either!
There are different local accents (口音) across the UK, and a number of areas have several different accents. That is, they have their own vocabulary and expressions. There were at least six different accents born to London the last time I counted.
Worse than that, it is not just where a person is born in the UK that decides his accent. For example, a language and its accents often change across class or level of education. Another example is how languages can differ among age groups in the UK. The words and pronunciation used by young people in the UK can be completely different compared with those used by adults. They are creating a “yoof culture”.
The word “yoof” is a slang (俚语) spelling of “youth”. Some people don' t consider “yoof” to be a positive (积极的) term since its pronunciation is easier and lazier than “youth”. Other people see the term as positive, because it describes how young people are creating their own language, idea and culture.
When parents find it difficult to understand their children, the children can say more things without the examining of their parents. In this way, young people are starting to find freedom, independence and self-expression. Even though certain groups of society worry about “yoof culture”, new words keep appearing in our daily life.
So learners should have no fear about communicating with native speakers. Even British people don’t speak English properly! The UK no longer owns the English language.
34. What's the secret according to the passage?
_____________________________________________________
35. Are there different accents across the UK?
_____________________________________________________
36. Who are creating a “yoof culture”?
