Yosemite National Park
Yosemite is all about restoration this year.This month the park’s main corridor is being repaired.The park’s gallery reopened to the public in April after remodeling to allow full accessibility for the disabled.Even John Muir,known as the father of the national parks,is being revived by the actor Lee Stetson,who will answer audience questions about the park and its history at the Yosemite Theater.
Petrified Forest National Park
Petrified Forest National Park is now mapping self-guided hikes to its more remote destinations,in part to remind visitors that the parks are theirs to wander.In August,a new field institute will begin offering classes led by geologists,photographers and other experts.And next year,look for electric vehicle charging stations to appear at the north and south entrances of the park.
Acadia National Park
Acadia National Park is to begin managing a new campground on Maine’s Schoodic Peninsula this fall.The site will offer almost 100 R.V.and tent sites,as well as new hiking and biking trails connecting to Gouldsboro Village and existing park trails leading to the peninsula’s tip.
Wetherill Mesa
Wetherill Mesa will have an extended season this year (through mid-October),giving cyclists much time to enjoy new access to the park’s six-mile Long House Loop,a paved path formerly used for tram service,and the backcountry routes on the park’s most popular hike.Naturally,plans are in the works to open an on-site bike rental operation within the year.

The morning after an evening struggle to care for my three-year-old daughter,I couldn’t wait to take her to school.I,as a mother,was tired from the anger and her inability to communicate because of her slowed language development.
As I accompanied her into the car,I felt desperate.Nothing was right with our world.She’d been born around the same time when the nation was witnessing the birth of another Great Recession.My job and my house became victims(牺牲品).Then this happened.My child’s language delay(语言发育迟缓) was identified,but doctors struggled to properly help her.I felt like we both needed to be rescued.
I returned that afternoon as disenchanted with my little girl as when I left.Walking slowly towards the school’s playground gate,I found her preschool teacher racing to greet me.“You should have seen her today!” His breathy words were supported by excitement.I didn’t interrupt.“See that climber.” He pointed to a wooden piece of playground equipment that looked like a rock wall.I nodded.“Well,every day since she started school,she’s tried and failed to make it to the top.” He took a breath.“And today she did it!”
He expressed his joy just as he’d witnessed her conquering Mount Qomolangma!“She cheered and celebrated!I wish I’d recorded it!” His words comforted me.My daughter had conquered her mountain.
As she ran towards me,I recognized something I hadn’t before.I saw her perseverance(毅力).I saw her strength.I saw a hero.
Everyday greatness celebrates ordinary people who do unusual things in big and small ways,showing courage,kindness,love and selflessness.We encourage you to click these brief accounts and invite you to share your own story.

Making Music Visible
On a recent afternoon in a brightly lit studio in Brooklyn,Tom and David were filming a music video.They were recording a different version of their favorite song,but the voices that filled the room were those of the two original singers,who made the song a hit.And yet the two men were also singing—with their hands.
Tom is a deaf actor and dancer;David is a hearing dancer and choreographer who is,thanks to seven deaf family members,a native speaker of sign language.Their version is part of a 10-song series of sign language covers of works.
Around the world,music connects together communities and promotes a sense of belonging.But as sign language music videos become an online phenomenon,the richness of sign language has gotten a broader stage.
“Music is many different things to different people.” Alice,a deaf actress,said in an interview,using an interpreter.“I realize,” she added,“that when you do hear,not hearing may seem to separate us.But what is your relationship to music,to dance,to beauty What do you see that we may learn from These are conversations people need to get accustomed to having.”
A good sign language performance thinks highly of the combination of the elements of sign language—hand shape,movement and facial expression—with those of spoken language,allowing a skilled sign language speaker to engage in the kind of sound painting that composers use to enrich a text.“The hands have their own emotions,” Tom said.“They have their own minds.”
Deaf singers prepare for their performances by experiencing a song through any means available to them.Many people speak about their highly sensitivity to the vibrations of sound,which they experience through their body.As a dancer trained in ballet,Tom said he was particularly conscious of the vibrations of a piano as transmitted through a wooden floor.
28.What makes the video of Tom and David famous
A.They recorded a famous song.
B.The video talks about deaf actors.
C.Sign language is used to perform songs.
D.The record has the most series of pop music.
29.What does Alice mean in paragraph 4
A.Our life is lack of music,dance and beauty.
B.Music bridges the gap between different people.
C.People with hearing loss are separated from music.
D.Dancers and singers need to strengthen communication.
30.What can we infer from paragraph 5
A.A well-performed sign language speaker usually works with another dancer.
B.Sign language dancers are more emotional and thoughtful than other dancers.
C.The elements of sign language are more important than those of spoken language.
D.Skilled sign language performers tend to combine spoken and unspoken elements.
31.According to the passage,which of the following best describes deaf singers
A.Caring. B.Cautious.
C.Sensitive. D.Intelligent.
D
As cities balloon with growth,access to nature for people living in urban areas is becoming harder to find.If you’re lucky,there might be a pocket park near where you live,but it’s unusual to find places in a city that are relatively wild.
Past research has found health and wellness benefits of nature for humans,but a new study shows that wildness in urban areas is extremely important for human well-being.
The research team focused on a large urban park.They surveyed several hundred park-goers,asking them to submit a written summary online of a meaningful interaction they had with nature in the park.The researchers then examined these submissions,coding(编码)experiences into different categories.For example,one participant’s experience of “We sat and listened to the waves at the beach for a while” was assigned the categories “sitting at beach” and “listening to waves.”
Across the 320 submissions,a pattern of categories the researchers call a “nature language” began to emerge.After the coding of all submissions,half a dozen categories were noted most often as important to visitors.These include encountering wildlife,walking along the edge of water,and following an established trail.
Naming each nature experience creates a usable language,which helps people recognize and take part in the activities that are most satisfying and meaningful to them.For example,the experience of walking along the edge of water might be satisfying for a young professional on a weekend hike in the park.Back downtown during a workday,they can enjoy a more domestic form of this interaction by walking along a fountain on their lunch break.
“We’re trying to generate a language that helps bring the human-nature interactions back into our daily lives.And for that to happen,we also need to protect nature so that we can interact with it,” said Peter Kahn,a senior author of the study.
32.What phenomenon does the author describe at the beginning of the text
A.Pocket parks are now popular. B.Wild nature is hard to find in cities.
C.Many cities are overpopulated. D.People enjoy living close to nature.
33.Why did the researchers code participant submissions into categories
A.To compare different types of park-goers.
B.To explain why the park attracts tourists.
C.To analyze the main features of the park.
D.To find patterns in the visitors’ summaries.
34.What can we learn from the example given in paragraph 5
A.Walking is the best way to gain access to nature.
B.Young people are too busy to interact with nature.
C.The same nature experience takes different forms.
D.The nature language enhances work performance.
35.What should be done before we can interact with nature according to Kahn
A.Language study.
B.Environmental conservation.
C.Public education.
D.Intercultural communication.

ANIMAL BODY LANGUAGE
Human beings are not the only ones who communicate.　36　 Here is a quick look at how some of our animal friends send messages to us and to each other.
　37　 When a dog is happy,its ears will stand up and its eyes will be wide open.The dog will start barking,moving its tail and running around in circles or jumping up and down to show you that it wants to play.A dog that is afraid will lay on its back and close its eyes.The dog may show its teeth and lower its body so that it is close to the ground.The dog may also shake,and it will put its tail between its legs.When a dog is angry,its main body language is showing its teeth and growling(低声叫).The dog will try making itself look as big as possible.The tail will stand straight out from the body.
Elephants also use noises and body language to express themselves.An elephant’s sense of smell is highly developed.An elephant can smell how another elephant is feeling and even tell if it is sick.The elephant’s nose,or trunk,is also used to make noises and to welcome other elephants.Different noises have a variety of meanings.They can mean “I am hungry”,“I am angry”,or “Good to see you!”　38　 If an elephant spreads its ears,it means “Watch out!”To show friendship,elephants will touch each other with their trunks and stand close to each other,putting their heads together.
Dolphins are social animals.　39　 An angry dolphin will sometimes hit its tail on the surface of the water.The movement and noise let other dolphins know that something is wrong.If a dolphin wants to send a message over a long distance,or if it wants to show how strong it is,it will jump high out of the water and land on its side,making a loud noise.A dolphin’s favorite activity is leaping into the air while playing with its friends.When dolphins are tired and need to rest,they will swim in small groups close to the surface.　40　
A.Dogs are human’s loyal friends.
B.If you see them doing this,you should not disturb them.
C.An elephant’s body language includes ear signals and gestures.
D.They live in groups and love showing each other their feelings.
E.Dogs use sounds,body movements,and their tails to communicate.
F.If an elephant senses its partner is falling sick,it will also make a noise.
G.Animals use body language to tell each other how they feel and what they think.

阅读下面短文,从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
To learn another language is more than just learning words and grammar.It 　41　 learning about another culture,too.We learn much of our own culture’s body language before we learn to speak,from the time we are 　42　,usually without even being aware of it.Body language is different from culture to culture,and therefore it’s something to which second language 　43　 should pay attention.
Sometimes,cultural differences in body language can 　44　 discomfort or misunderstandings too.For example,there are 　45　 cultural differences in how much distance should be kept between two people who are speaking together.If you are used to people keeping their 　46　,you will feel very uncomfortable,and probably 　47　 away repeatedly,if someone keeps trying to stand 　48　 to you at a party!We call this the “personal comfort zone”.
Another 　49　 example of misunderstanding is the use of a 　50　.In some Asian cultures,a smile can show embarrassment or apology.However,smiling back at a teacher who is unhappy with you,or a stranger whose foot you accidentally 　51　 upon is probably not a good idea in most English speaking cultures!
Even speakers of the same 　52　,such as British,American,or Australian people,may not use the 　53　 body language and must adapt if they wish to 　54　 successfully.British people are said to be more reserved and formal,in general,and this is reflected in their body language.Americans are considered more open and 　55　,while Australians are seen as casual and relaxed.
41.A.resists B.engages C.includes D.grasps
42.A.students B.babies C.adults D.applicants
43.A.translators B.learners C.authors D.advisors
44.A.involve B.overcome C.cause D.interrupt

第二节(满分25分)
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。
When I lived in Portland,Oregon,I taught English as a Second Language at a local community college.I had adult students in my class from Vietnam,Mexico,Russia and many other countries.Although they came from many lands,fighting for a better life,they had one thing in common:a desperate yearning(渴望) to learn English well.
Many of the students worked in a factory for twelve hours throughout the night and hurriedly took a bus in the morning straight to our 8:00 a.m.class.They attended my class on time whatever the weather.And they waited until after class to go home and sleep.Sometimes I would see them struggling to keep their eyes open in the beginning.However,their active participation in class drove away their physical tiredness as well as livened up the atmosphere.Some students even raised a bunch of questions by gesture after class.They were always there working hard,earnest and eager to learn.
Despite their lack of sleep and long hours at work,the level of attendance and attentiveness in class was always excellent.No one called in sick.No one was absent-minded.Some of the students had as many as three jobs and took the bus everywhere they went because they couldn’t afford cars.
To teach the course,I needed to use a lot of pictures and hand gestures,since I didn’t know all their respective languages.One of the things I taught was a simple dialogue called “Shopping for a New Coat”.They enjoyed standing up and acting out the gestures that accompanied the text of the story.
Sometimes I wondered if I was really teaching my students in the best way possible.But I gave my all to this class,and they gave their all to me.If nothing else,they would always remember what to say if they ever went “shopping for a new coat”.Soon,the language course came to an end.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。
On the last day of class,they threw a wonderful party that was filled with good food and laughter.



I lifted from the box a beautiful,new,full-length coat.

M:Last month I got the chance to take part in an underwater research project in an area of the Gulf of Mexico called the Flower Gardens.A team of professional researchers,led by Dr.Matt Phillips,was trying to learn more about the fish and other creatures in this part of the sea.The Flower Gardens are a long way from the shore and we spent three days on a boat.
The team used a piece of underwater equipment called a ROV (Remotely Operated Vehicle) to collect information.The ROV could measure water depth and temperature and it also had a camera that sent live film back to the boat.The ROV was great fun.
However,the thing I enjoyed most was diving into the water.At first,I was quite frightened—mainly because I couldn’t see land in any direction.But as soon as I jumped into the water,I wasn’t afraid anymore.It was amazing to see the colourful fish swimming around.
I will never forget the Flower Gardens.The trip was like a holiday but I also learnt new things about science and research projects.The team were happy to explain what they knew about the sea.It was a great opportunity and it has made me think about my goals in life.The experience will definitely encourage me to work harder to become a scientist.

29.B　推理判断题。根据第四段可知,聋哑女演员爱丽丝在接受采访时告诉记者,音乐对不同的人来说是不同的东西。人们需要习惯这样的对话。由此可推断,爱丽丝在第四段的意思是音乐是人与人之间的桥梁。故选B项。
30.D　推理判断题。根据第五段可知,好的手语表演高度重视手语元素(手的形状、动作和面部表情)与口语元素的结合,让熟练的手语者能够像作曲家那样用声音来丰富文本。由此可推断,熟练的手语表演者倾向于将口语和非口语元素结合起来。故选D项。
31.C　推理判断题。根据最后一段第二句“Many people speak about their highly sensitivity to the vibrations of sound,which they experience through their body.”可知,许多人说他们对声音的振动非常敏感,这是他们通过身体体验到的。由此可推断,聋人歌手很敏感。故选C项。
【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。随着城市的飞速发展,人们接触大自然的机会越来越少。研究发现,人类的健康和幸福与城市中自然场所息息相关。研究人员正试图创建一种“语言”,帮助人们更好地与大自然互动。
32.B　推理判断题。根据第一段第一句“As cities balloon with growth,access to nature for people living in urban areas is becoming harder to find.”以及第二句中的“...but it’s unusual to find places in a city that are relatively wild.”可知,作者在文章的开头所描述的现象是:在城市里居住的人越来越难以找到相对野生的环境。
33.D　推理判断题。根据第四段第一句和第五段第一句可推知,研究人员把参与者提交的编码分类,就是为了从中查找人与自然互动的模式。
34.C　推理判断题。根据第五段所举的例子“...the experience of walking along the edge of water might be satisfying for a young professional on a weekend hike in the park.Back downtown during a workday,they can enjoy a more domestic form of this interaction by walking along a fountain on their lunch break.”可知,同样的自然体验可以通过不同的形式获得:周末在公园里徒步走,工作日则利用午休时间在喷泉旁散步。
35.B　细节理解题。根据最后一段最后一句中的“we also need to protect nature so that we can interact with it”可知,我们需要先保护大自然,然后才能更好地与大自然互动。
【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了动物的交流方式。
36.G　根据上文“Human beings are not the only ones who communicate.”可知,不止人类会交流;根据下文“Here is a quick look at how some of our animal friends send messages to us and to each other.”可知,接下来要介绍的是我们的动物朋友是如何发送信息给我们和动物们的。由此可知,中间要提到动物也有它们的交流方式。G项 “动物用肢体语言告诉彼此它们的感受和想法。”承上启下。故选G项。
37.E　根据下文“When a dog is happy,its ears will stand up and its eyes will be wide open.”可知,当狗高兴的时候,它的耳朵会竖起来并且它的眼睛会睁得很大。由此可知,这一段说明狗的肢体语言所代表的含义。E项“狗用声音、身体的移动和它们的尾巴进行交流。”引出下文。故选E项。
38.C　根据下文“If an elephant spreads its ears,it means ‘Watch out!’ To show friendship,elephants will touch each other with their trunks and stand close to each other,putting their heads together.”可知,如果大象展开它的耳朵,意思就是“小心!” 为了表达友谊,大象会相互碰一下鼻子,并且相互站得很近,把它们的头放在一起。由此可知,这里描述大象用耳朵和身体来交流。C项“大象的肢体语言包括耳朵信号和姿势。”引出下文。故选C项。
39.D　根据上文“Dolphins are social animals.”可知,海豚是群居动物。由此可知,这里描述海豚的生活特点。D项“它们群居,并且喜欢相互表达它们的情感。”符合语境。故选D项。
40.B　根据上文“When dolphins are tired and need to rest,they will swim in small groups close to the surface.”可知,当海豚感到疲惫并且想休息的时候,它们会在接近水面的地方成小群地一起游泳。由此可知,这里提到海豚也会累,也需要休息。B项“如果你看到它们这样,你不应该打扰它们。”符合语境。故选B项。
【语篇导读】本文是一篇议论文。文章举例论证了肢体语言中的文化差异也会引起交流中的不适或误解这一观点。
41.C　根据上文“more than just learning words and grammar”可知,学习语言还包括学习其他东西。故选C项。
42.B　根据“before we learn to speak”和“usually without even being aware of it”可知,我们是在学习说话之前,在自己意识不到情况的婴儿时期就开始学习肢体语言了。故选B项。
43.B　根据上文可知,语言的学习不仅仅是学习单词和语法,还包括学习另一种文化,肢体语言也是其中一项内容,而肢体语言因文化的不同,差异巨大,所以作为第二语言学习者,需要特别注意肢体语言的学习。故选B项。
44.C　下文用不同的“社交距离”这一肢体语言的文化差异论证了“肢体语言的文化差异可能会引起不适或误解”这一观点。所以段首主题句就应该是“肢体语言的文化差异也会引起不适或误解”。故选C项。
45.A　根据语境可知,本句是对上文观点“文化差异会引起不适或误解”进行举例说明,那么本句所列举的事例中“文化差异”是明显存在的。故选A项。
46.A　根据下文“you will feel very uncomfortable,and probably 　　　away repeatedly”可知,当别人靠近你时,你会不舒服,会多次移开,所以你习惯和人们保持距离。故选A项。
47.B　根据上文“you will feel very uncomfortable”可推断,当有人靠近你时,你会移开。故选B项。
48.D　根据上文“If you are used to people keeping their 　　　,you will feel very uncomfortable,and probably 　　　away repeatedly”可知,因为你喜欢保持距离,所以当有人想站得离你更近时,你就会不舒服并多次移开。故选D项。
49.B　根据上文所列举的“社交距离”这一明显的文化差异可推断,本段也应使用另一个常见的例子。故选B项。
50.C　根据下文列举的事例“In some Asian cultures,a smile can show embarrassment or apology.”可知,这里说的另一个例子是“smile”。故选C项。
51.C　根据上文“a stranger whose foot you accidentally”和空格后介词upon可推知,此处指踩到陌生人的脚。故选C项。
52.D　根据所列举的“such as British,American,or Australian people”可知,他们说的是同一种语言。故选D项。
53.B　根据Even和may not可知,前后句有转折对比关系,即“说相同的语言,但不使用相同的肢体语言”。故选B项。
54.A　根据上文并结合常识可知,不同肢体语言会造成不适或误解,所以想要成功地进行交流,就必须要适应不同的肢体语言。故选A项。
55.D　根据形容词open可判定,应使用形容词 outgoing形容美国人。故选D项。

60.Rereading/Having reread　考查非谓语动词。句意:重读这封信,我被他的幽默和巧妙的表达震惊了。动词reread和逻辑主语I之间是主谓关系,应用现在分词作状语;此处也可用现在分词的完成式,指reread表示的动作发生在谓语动词之前。故填Rereading/Having reread。
61.which　考查定语从句。句意:这些都是我曾经尊敬的我哥哥的品质,但我认为他已经不再拥有了。分析句子可知,此处是“介词+关系词”引导的定语从句,先行词是qualities,在从句中作介词for的宾语,respect for意为“尊敬”,应用关系代词which。故填which。

第一节
Dear Allen,
It’s great to learn that you are coming to study at Peking University.You’ve asked me for advice on which major to choose and here are my suggestions.
As we all know,what you learn in university is preparation for your future career.Therefore,it would be better to choose Chinese Language and Literature as your major.In that case,not only will you be completely immersed in China’s profound culture but also master enough professional knowledge for your future job.I can’t wait to meet you and it’s my pleasure to be your tour guide.
Looking forward to your early reply.
Yours,
Li Hua
第二节
On the last day of class,they threw a wonderful party that was filled with good food and laughter.I was amazed that they had learned enough English to even coordinate such an event with each other.The food was delicious,with wonderful dishes from over ten different countries.Then,Alexander from Hungary,one of the most outgoing members of the class,called everyone’s attention before he proudly handed me a large,neatly wrapped box.After the ribbon was untied and the top was off,I gently pulled back the wrapping paper.
I lifted from the box a beautiful,new,full-length coat.“We went shopping for a new coat!” they all exclaimed in wonderfully perfect English.They were people who lived in small apartments,sent money back to families in their home countries and could barely make ends meet.I was simply doing my job,teaching English,and their gratitude was beyond the bounds of what I ever could possibly have expected.I wore the coat they gave me with pride and gratitude;it’s my favorite.Every time I wear the coat,I think fondly of them—all of them and their desire and struggle to start a new life in America.
