Natural Treasures: An Introduction to World’s National Parks
National parks are vast areas of land protected by governments for their natural beauty, unique wildlife, and scientific importance. They are often called “the best idea America ever had”, but this concept has now spread across the globe, allowing people to enjoy breathtaking scenery and protect our planet’s precious ecosystems.
Famous National Parks Around the World
Yellowstone National Park, USA
Established in 1872 as the world’s first national park, Yellowstone is famous for its geothermal wonders. Visitors can see the famous Old Faithful geyser, which erupts regularly, and colourful hot springs. It is also home to grizzly bears, wolves, and large herds of bison and elk.
Serengeti National Park, Tanzania
The Serengeti is a symbol of African wildlife. It is most famous for the “Great Migration”, where millions of wild animals travel in search of water and fresh grass, Lions, elephants, and cheetahs are also commonly spotted here.
Fiordland National Park, New Zealand
This park is a landscape shaped by glaciers. It features deep fiords (峡湾), splendid waterfalls, and ancient rainforest. Milford Sound, the most famous fiord, offers stunning views and is a paradise for hikers and nature lovers.
Yorkshire Dales National Park, the United Kingdom
Contrary to other national parks with the wilderness, it is filled with winding valleys, hills and villages where over 34,000 people live and work. Visitors can walk through grassland, visit waterfalls or explore underground caves, but Yorkshire Dales is also home to several food shops, and the park hosts cheese festivals and farmers markets regularly, so it’s best to go hungry.
Visiting a national park is not just a vacation but an experience that teaches us the value of preserving our natural world for future generations.

Jane Goodall, the world-renowned chimpanzee(黑猩猩) expert, passed away at the age of 91 on October 1, 2025, in California while on a speaking tour. Her death was announced by the Jane Goodall Institute. The United Nations praised how she had “worked tirelessly for our planet and all its inhabitants, leaving an extraordinary legacy for humanity and nature”.
Born in London in 1934, Goodall said her passion for animals was sparked by the gift of a toy chimpanzee from her father. Her passion grew as she read books featuring Tarzan and Dr. Dolittle. In 1957, she fulfilled her childhood dream by joining Dr. Louis Leakey in Africa to study chimpanzees in their natural habitat.
In 1960, Goodall began researching free-living chimpanzees at Gombe Stream National Park in Tanzania. There she made the groundbreaking research. It revolutionized our understanding of animal behavior and helped challenge the idea that only humans could use tools and that chimps were vegetarian. In 1977, she founded the Jane Goodall Institute, which works to protect chimpanzees and their habitats. It now has officers in more than 25 countries. In 1991, the institute launched the Roots and Shoots project to encourage young people to take action to address environmental issues and create positive change through various activities, such as cleaning up the environment and creating habitats for wildlife.
Awarded a UN Messenger of Peace in 2002, Jane Goodall was an outspoken advocate of environmental issues and disapproved of the use of animals in medical research and zoos. Well into her 80s, Goodall showed little sign of slowing down as she continued to write and speak about her work.
In 2021, Goodall published “The Book of Hope: A Survival Guide for an Endangered Planet”, in which she admitted to sometimes feeling like she was fighting a losing battle, but explained how she kept going. “I’m not going to give in,” she said. “I’ll die fighting — that’s for sure.”
4. What inspired Jane Goodall’s love for animals
A. Her journey to Africa. B. A toy chimpanzee from her father.
C. Reading books about environment. D. Studying with Dr Louise Leakey.
5. What does the underlined word “revolutionized” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Demonstrated. B. Supported. C. Changed. D. Advocated.
6. What’s the aim of the Roots and Shoots project
A. To build a research center.
B. To study chimpanzees in Gombe.
C. To train scientists in wildlife protection.
D. To encourage young people to protect the environment.
7 Which of following best describe Jane Goodall according to the text
A. Ambitious and patient. B. Easygoing and demanding.
C. Passionate and determined. D. Humorous and committed.
C
In an age where we can download a book in seconds or order a novel online with a single click, local bookstores might seem like relics of the past. But walk into Powell’s City of Books in Portland, Oregon — a 50-year-old institution with miles of shelves and a cozy reading place — and you’ll see why these stores are still thriving. Local bookstores offer something that e-books and online retailers(零售店) can’t; a sense of community, human connection, and the magic of discovering a new book by chance.
Powell’s is more than just a place to buy books. It hosts weekly book clubs where readers discuss everything about literature. Local authors often stop by for book signings, giving readers a chance to meet the people behind the stories. The staff, many of whom are keen readers themselves, offer personalized recommendations based on their own love of books. “Last week, a customer told me she loved historical fiction,” said Maria, a Powell’s employee of 10 years. “I recommended ‘Pachinko’, and she came back the next day to thank me — she said it was one of the best books she’d ever read.”
This kind of connection is what keeps people coming back to local bookstores. Unlike online stores focusing on speed and convenience, local bookstores are spaces for slow reading. Many have added coffee shops or cultural and creative products sections, where people can spend hours reading and chatting with friends. In small towns and big cities alike, local bookstores often host storytime for kids, fundraisers for local schools, and events that bring neighbors together.
Of course, local bookstores face real challenges. Rising rent and competition from online giants like Amazon make it hard for small businesses to survive. But many are finding ways to adapt. Some offer subscription services, where customers get a new book each month based on their interests. Others partner with local schools and libraries to host events. And more and more readers are choosing to shop locally, which helps keep these stores alive.
In a world that’s increasingly digital and disconnected, local bookstores remind us of the joy of holding a physical book, talking to a fellow reader, and being part of something bigger than ourselves. They’re not just stores — they’re treasures that help keep our communities and our love of reading alive.
8. What does the author want to illustrate by mentioning Maria in paragraph 2
A. The staff in local bookstores are highly educated.
B. Historical fiction is popular among readers.
C. Many of the staff have a passion for reading.
D. The personalized service creates meaningful connections.
9. What measures do local bookstores take to survive
A. They work with online giants to sell e-books.
B. They frequently host author events and book clubs.
C. They adopt subscription mode and local partnership.
D. They focus on reducing staff to cut costs.
10. What is the author’s attitude towards local bookstores
A. Doubtful. B. Favourable. C. Indifferent. D. Opposed.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. The Magic of Local Bookstores Digital Age.
B. Powell’s City of Books; A Model for Success.
C. Why Local Bookstores Are Disappearing.
D. Challenges and Solutions for Local Bookstores.
D
If you fill a glass of tap water, or mineral water, or even water from a well, you might be drinking tiny pieces of plastic — microplastics. A growing number of studies have found these tiny plastics in drinking water sources around the world, and scientists are now warning about the potential risks to human health.
Microplastics are smaller than 5 millimeters in size. They come from a variety of sources. Some are from plastic bottles, food containers, and plastic bags as they age and wear down. Others are from some cosmetics (化妆品) — though many countries have banned these products. And some come from artificial fibers in clothing; when we wash clothes, tiny fibers fall off and enter the sewage systems (污水排放系统), which often aren’t designed to filter (过滤) out such small particles.
These microplastics then make their way into rivers, lakes, oceans, and even groundwater. A 2025 study conducted by the University of Michigan tested 100 tap water samples (样品) from 20 countries. They found microplastics in 83% of the samples, with an average of 5.4 particles per liter. Bottled water isn’t safer either. A separate study found microplastics in 92% of bottled water brands tested.
Scientists are still learning about how microplastics affect human health. In laboratory tests, microplastics have caused damage to liver cells and affected digestion in animals. But it’s unclear exactly how much microplastics humans take in, or what long-term effects are. “We know microplastics are in our bodies, but we don’t yet know if they’re causing harm,” said Dr. Lisa Miller.
To address the problem, scientists are working on better filtration technologies that can trap microplastics as small as 0.1 micrometers. Governments are also taking action: The European Union recently passed a law requiring water companies to test for microplastics and reduce their levels. And individuals can help by using fewer single-use plastics, choosing clothes made of natural fibers like cotton, and using washing machine to filter artificial fibers.
As Dr. Miller puts it: “We can’t undo the microplastics that are already in our water, but we can take steps to stop more from getting there. It’s a problem we can solve if we work together.”
12. What’s the main idea of the second paragraph
A. The importance of filtration. B. The harmful effects of microplastics.
C. The size of microplastics. D. The different sources of microplastics.
13. How does the author present the information in paragraph 3
A. By providing data. B. By giving examples.
C. By making comparisons. D. By giving definitions.
14. What can be inferred from the text
A. Current technologies are fully able to filter mispropagates out.
B. It’s too late to do anything about the problem.
C. Microplastics have already been proved to cause harm to human health.
D. Joint efforts should be made to prevent more microplastics.
15. What is the main purpose of the text
A. To advertise a new water filtration technology.
B. To inform about microplastics in water and call for solutions.
C To reveal the sources of microplastics.
D. To emphasize the harm of microplastics.

“Aisha, it’s your turn to read the second paragraph,” Miss Eman said softly, her eyes scanning the class as everyone shifted in their seats.
Aisha’s heart raced as she unwillingly stood up. Her hands shook as she held the book. “One... su... summer, alo... along 1909, the... fa....father...” she stammered (结巴). The words seemed to jump all over the page, making it impossible to read. The class broke into laughter.
“Enough!” Miss Eman called out, throwing the duster (黑板擦) onto the whiteboard. The noise silenced everyone in no time. “Aisha, I’d like to speak with you after class,” she said gently. Aisha’s face turned red with embarrassment. “Yes…ma’am,” she whispered as she sank into her seat.
After the bell rang, Aisha slowly made her way to the teacher’s office, fearing the conversation. She knocked on the door softly. Miss Eman answered the door with a warm smile. “Please, sit down.” Miss Eman looked at Aisha. “You’re a bright student, Aisha. You do so well in everything except reading. What’s going on The words in the book are simple, but I see you struggling.”
Aisha looked down at her hands and explained that she suffered from dyslexia (读写困难症). That meant the words just jumped around when she tried to read and it was really hard to focus. Miss Eman’s face softened with understanding. “Aisha, why didn’t you tell me earlier You don’t have to hide this. Being different just means you learn in a special way. There’s nothing to be ashamed of. I’ll bring some special reading materials to help you. We’ll work on this together, okay ” Aisha smiled, feeling hopeful for the first time.
The next day, during the break, Miss Eman handed Aisha a bag filled with special books. “These are from a reading center. They’re made for students with dyslexia. Let’s see how they work for you,” Miss Eman said. Aisha accepted the bag gratefully. “Thank you, ma’am.”

Her death was announced by the Jane Goodall Institute. The United Nations praised how she had “worked tirelessly for our planet and all its inhabitants, leaving an extraordinary legacy for humanity and nature”.
Born in London in 1934, Goodall said her passion for animals was sparked by the gift of a toy chimpanzee from her father. Her passion grew as she read books featuring Tarzan and Dr. Dolittle. In 1957, she fulfilled her childhood dream by joining Dr. Louis Leakey in Africa to study chimpanzees in their natural habitat.
In 1960, Goodall began researching free-living chimpanzees at Gombe Stream National Park in Tanzania. There she made the groundbreaking research. It revolutionized our understanding of animal behavior and helped challenge the idea that only humans could use tools and that chimps were vegetarian. In 1977, she founded the Jane Goodall Institute, which works to protect chimpanzees and their habitats. It now has officers in more than 25 countries. In 1991, the institute launched the Roots and Shoots project to encourage young people to take action to address environmental issues and create positive change through various activities, such as cleaning up the environment and creating habitats for wildlife.
Awarded a UN Messenger of Peace in 2002, Jane Goodall was an outspoken advocate of environmental issues and disapproved of the use of animals in medical research and zoos. Well into her 80s, Goodall showed little sign of slowing down as she continued to write and speak about her work.
In 2021, Goodall published “The Book of Hope: A Survival Guide for an Endangered Planet”, in which she admitted to sometimes feeling like she was fighting a losing battle, but explained how she kept going. “I’m not going to give in,” she said. “I’ll die fighting — that’s for sure.”

In an age where we can download a book in seconds or order a novel online with a single click, local bookstores might seem like relics of the past. But walk into Powell’s City of Books in Portland, Oregon — a 50-year-old institution with miles of shelves and a cozy reading place — and you’ll see why these stores are still thriving. Local bookstores offer something that e-books and online retailers(零售店) can’t; a sense of community, human connection, and the magic of discovering a new book by chance.
Powell’s is more than just a place to buy books. It hosts weekly book clubs where readers discuss everything about literature. Local authors often stop by for book signings, giving readers a chance to meet the people behind the stories. The staff, many of whom are keen readers themselves, offer personalized recommendations based on their own love of books. “Last week, a customer told me she loved historical fiction,” said Maria, a Powell’s employee of 10 years. “I recommended ‘Pachinko’, and she came back the next day to thank me — she said it was one of the best books she’d ever read.”
This kind of connection is what keeps people coming back to local bookstores. Unlike online stores focusing on speed and convenience, local bookstores are spaces for slow reading. Many have added coffee shops or cultural and creative products sections, where people can spend hours reading and chatting with friends. In small towns and big cities alike, local bookstores often host storytime for kids, fundraisers for local schools, and events that bring neighbors together.
Of course, local bookstores face real challenges. Rising rent and competition from online giants like Amazon make it hard for small businesses to survive. But many are finding ways to adapt. Some offer subscription services, where customers get a new book each month based on their interests. Others partner with local schools and libraries to host events. And more and more readers are choosing to shop locally, which helps keep these stores alive.
In a world that’s increasingly digital and disconnected, local bookstores remind us of the joy of holding a physical book, talking to a fellow reader, and being part of something bigger than ourselves. They’re not just stores — they’re treasures that help keep our communities and our love of reading alive.
8. What does the author want to illustrate by mentioning Maria in paragraph 2
A. The staff in local bookstores are highly educated.
B. Historical fiction is popular among readers.
C. Many of the staff have a passion for reading.
D. The personalized service creates meaningful connections.
9. What measures do local bookstores take to survive
A. They work with online giants to sell e-books.
B. They frequently host author events and book clubs.
C. They adopt subscription mode and local partnership.
D. They focus on reducing staff to cut costs.
10. What is the author’s attitude towards local bookstores
A. Doubtful. B. Favourable. C. Indifferent. D. Opposed.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. The Magic of Local Bookstores Digital Age.
B. Powell’s City of Books; A Model for Success.
C. Why Local Bookstores Are Disappearing.
D. Challenges and Solutions for Local Bookstores.

If you fill a glass of tap water, or mineral water, or even water from a well, you might be drinking tiny pieces of plastic — microplastics. A growing number of studies have found these tiny plastics in drinking water sources around the world, and scientists are now warning about the potential risks to human health.
Microplastics are smaller than 5 millimeters in size. They come from a variety of sources. Some are from plastic bottles, food containers, and plastic bags as they age and wear down. Others are from some cosmetics (化妆品) — though many countries have banned these products. And some come from artificial fibers in clothing; when we wash clothes, tiny fibers fall off and enter the sewage systems (污水排放系统), which often aren’t designed to filter (过滤) out such small particles.
These microplastics then make their way into rivers, lakes, oceans, and even groundwater. A 2025 study conducted by the University of Michigan tested 100 tap water samples (样品) from 20 countries. They found microplastics in 83% of the samples, with an average of 5.4 particles per liter. Bottled water isn’t safer either. A separate study found microplastics in 92% of bottled water brands tested.
Scientists are still learning about how microplastics affect human health. In laboratory tests, microplastics have caused damage to liver cells and affected digestion in animals. But it’s unclear exactly how much microplastics humans take in, or what long-term effects are. “We know microplastics are in our bodies, but we don’t yet know if they’re causing harm,” said Dr. Lisa Miller.
To address the problem, scientists are working on better filtration technologies that can trap microplastics as small as 0.1 micrometers. Governments are also taking action: The European Union recently passed a law requiring water companies to test for microplastics and reduce their levels. And individuals can help by using fewer single-use plastics, choosing clothes made of natural fibers like cotton, and using washing machine to filter artificial fibers.
As Dr. Miller puts it: “We can’t undo the microplastics that are already in our water, but we can take steps to stop more from getting there. It’s a problem we can solve if we work together.”
12. What’s the main idea of the second paragraph
A. The importance of filtration. B. The harmful effects of microplastics.
C. The size of microplastics. D. The different sources of microplastics.
13. How does the author present the information in paragraph 3
A. By providing data. B. By giving examples.
C. By making comparisons. D. By giving definitions.
14. What can be inferred from the text
A. Current technologies are fully able to filter mispropagates out.
B. It’s too late to do anything about the problem.
C. Microplastics have already been proved to cause harm to human health.
D. Joint efforts should be made to prevent more microplastics.
15. What is the main purpose of the text
A. To advertise a new water filtration technology.
B. To inform about microplastics in water and call for solutions.
C To reveal the sources of microplastics.
D. To emphasize the harm of microplastics.

Dear teachers and my fellow students,
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Dear teachers and my fellow students,
I think that students should use AI for learning but avoid over-reliance. AI serves as a powerful helper indeed. It can quickly sort out learning materials and explain difficult concepts, just like a personalized tutor, which boosts our study efficiency significantly.
However, we must stay alert to its drawbacks. Studies show over-reliance on AI reduces brain activity and weakens critical thinking. Many students even directly ask for answers, harming their independent learning ability.
In short, treat AI as a tool, not a replacement. Use it wisely to enhance learning, and we’ll benefit most.
Thank you!

47. 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。
“Aisha, it’s your turn to read the second paragraph,” Miss Eman said softly, her eyes scanning the class as everyone shifted in their seats.
Aisha’s heart raced as she unwillingly stood up. Her hands shook as she held the book. “One... su... summer, alo... along 1909, the... fa....father...” she stammered (结巴). The words seemed to jump all over the page, making it impossible to read. The class broke into laughter.
“Enough!” Miss Eman called out, throwing the duster (黑板擦) onto the whiteboard. The noise silenced everyone in no time. “Aisha, I’d like to speak with you after class,” she said gently. Aisha’s face turned red with embarrassment. “Yes…ma’am,” she whispered as she sank into her seat.
After the bell rang, Aisha slowly made her way to the teacher’s office, fearing the conversation. She knocked on the door softly. Miss Eman answered the door with a warm smile. “Please, sit down.” Miss Eman looked at Aisha. “You’re a bright student, Aisha. You do so well in everything except reading. What’s going on The words in the book are simple, but I see you struggling.”
Aisha looked down at her hands and explained that she suffered from dyslexia (读写困难症). That meant the words just jumped around when she tried to read and it was really hard to focus. Miss Eman’s face softened with understanding. “Aisha, why didn’t you tell me earlier You don’t have to hide this. Being different just means you learn in a special way. There’s nothing to be ashamed of. I’ll bring some special reading materials to help you. We’ll work on this together, okay ” Aisha smiled, feeling hopeful for the first time.
The next day, during the break, Miss Eman handed Aisha a bag filled with special books. “These are from a reading center. They’re made for students with dyslexia. Let’s see how they work for you,” Miss Eman said. Aisha accepted the bag gratefully. “Thank you, ma’am.”
注意：1. 续写词数应为150个左右；

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
In the following months, Aisha practiced hard with the materials. At first, it was tough, but slowly, things started to change. The words didn’t jump around as much anymore, and reading became less frightening. She began to make progress, and Miss Eman encouraged her every step on the way; the special materials made reading much easier, which boosted Aisha’s confidence. Then came the time for the reading test. As she started reading the passage, she noticed that the words stayed still and clear. Aisha smiled to herself as she finished the test.
When the results of the reading test were posted, Aisha was excited. She scored 40 out of 50! Tears of joy filled her eyes as she raced to Miss Eman, throwing her arms around her in a tight hug. “Thank you, ma’am! I couldn’t have done this without your help!” Aisha cried, her heart full of gratitude. Miss Eman smiled warmly, her eyes shining with pride. “You did this, Aisha. Your hard work and determination brought you this far.” Her classmates watched her with admiration. Even those who had once laughed at her were impressed by her success.
