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(使复活)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.

Almost everyone knows the saying, “Don't judge a book by its cover.”， which means you should not guess the worth or value of something based on how it looks.That message was clear at a recent event called the Human Library Project.The event took place at the Northern Virginia, or NoVa, Community College, outside of Washington，D.C.
The Human Library began 19 years ago in Denmark.It grew from a youth organization called “Stop the Violence”．Today, it is a worldwide movement.At the NoVa event, students got the chance to learn from a person — a “human book” — instead of a library book.
Patricia Cooper organized the event.She said that human books celebrate variety by telling their life stories in an easy going setting.The goal of the human library is to talk to people in your community who you may otherwise not speak to because you have your own prejudices and hopefully to break down some of these barriers.
This is the third year that NoVa has held such an event.The collection of human books included a civil rights activist, a scientist from the American space agency NASA, and an opera singer.
Artist Brian Dailey was a human book.He spoke about his travels to 113 countries in seven years.Dailey said that, during his travels, he asked people whom he took pictures of for a one word answer to a series of other words—such as love, freedom and war.He discovered that people in different countries often had very different reactions to the same word.
When Dailey asked people in Africa about the word “war”，they used words like justice, liberation and peace.When he asked the same question to people in Syrian refugee (难民) camps, the answer was: “tears, hunger, fear, destruction”．

It's believed that after a poor night's sleep, a strong coffee is the kick start that many people need in the morning, but a new research suggests that it might be best to have a bite to eat first.
A study has found that drinking coffee first can have a negative effect on blood sugar control—a risk factor for diabetes(糖尿病)and heart disease.
“We know that nearly half of us will wake in the morning and, before doing anything else, drink coffee—subjectively the more tired we feel, the stronger the coffee，” said Professor James Betts, at the University of Bath in the UK.
For their study, researchers at the University of Bath got 29 healthy men and women to take part in three different overnight experiments, with at least a week between them.
In one, the participants had a normal night's sleep, roughly from 11 p．m.to 7 a．m., and were asked to consume a sugary drink on waking in the morning.They then experienced an interrupted night's sleep, where the researchers woke them every hour for five minutes by sending them text messages to which they had to respond—and upon waking were given the same sugary drink.
On another night, participants experienced the same sleep interruption, but this time, were first given a strong black coffee 30 minutes before consuming the sugary drink.
They found that one night of interrupted sleep did not worsen the participants' blood sugar and insulin(胰岛素)responses when compared to the normal night's sleep—although previous research suggested that losing many hours of sleep or many nights of poor sleep could have a negative effect.However, strong black coffee consumed before breakfast actually increased the blood sugar response by around 50%—suggesting that relying on coffee after a bad night to stop feeling sleepy could limit your body's ability to tolerate the sugar in your breakfast.
【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了一项研究发现早上先喝咖啡会对控制血糖产生负面影响。
8．What does the underlined word “kick start” in paragraph 1 refer to
A．A kind of drink.　　 B．A kind of habit.
C．A kind of power. D．A kind of medicine.
C　[词义猜测题。根据第一段的“after a poor night's sleep(在晚上没睡好之后)”及定语从句“many people need in the morning(许多人在早上需要的)”修饰该名词，可推断指代晚上没睡好后，早上醒来提神醒脑的一种力量能源。故选C项。]

A．If we feel tired, we should choose stronger coffee.
B.Drinking coffee first may cause some serious diseases.
C．It shows that having breakfast first can refresh sleepy people.
D．Half of people are hard to kick the habit of drinking strong coffee.

10．What increased the participants' blood sugar response most before breakfast
A．A cup of strong black coffee.
B．A normal night's sleep.
C．An interrupted night's sleep.
D．A normal sugary drink.

Almost everyone gossips.And a new study finds that people spend about 52 minutes per day, on average, talking to someone about others who are not present.
But here's the surprise: Despite the assumption that most gossip is trash talk, the study finds the majority of gossip is nonjudgmental chat.
“People love to talk about others，” says Jeremy Cone, a psychologist at Williams College.“Think about your own conversations with a family member or friend: You talk about everyday things that keep you connected.You share your daughter got her driver's license or your uncle has a kidney stone.Much of it is just documenting facts.”
Of course, the study also finds that some gossip is negative or mean spirited.About 15% of the gossip included some type of negative judgement.
But even negative gossip can serve a purpose, as more research has found.
“I think gossiping can be a smart thing to do，” says Elena Martinescu who has studied gossip in the workplace.“It allows people to keep track of what's going on and form social connection with other people.”
Research has shown that gossip can help build group cohesion (凝聚力) and cooperation.“When you gossip, you can keep track of who is contributing to the group and who's being selfish，” Martinescu explains.“And by sharing this information, you can exclude those group members who are social loafers (游手好闲的人).”
“We also found negative gossip makes people likely to repair the aspects of their behavior that they were criticized for，” Martinescu says.
So, say, for instance, you were criticized for always arriving at work late.Hearing that gossip about yourself may motivate you to want to be on time.
Of course, this isn't a license to be loose lips or to repeat baseless claims that can damage someone's reputation unfairly.But confiding (吐露个人隐私) in your friends and colleagues and sharing impressions about another person—even when they're negative—may be helpful.
【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。文章对八卦进行了一个客观的评价，我们可能想象不到八卦也有其好处。
12．Why do people often gossip according to Jeremy Cone
A．Because gossip can satisfy their curiosity.
B．Because they can share social information.
C．Because they want to correct others' mistakes.
D．Because spreading negative facts is unavoidable.
B　[细节理解题。根据第三段Jeremy Cone的话“Think about your own conversations with a family member or friend: You talk about everyday things that keep you connected.You share your daughter got her driver's license or your uncle has a kidney stone.Much of it is just documenting facts.(想象一下你和家人或者朋友的对话：你们谈论让你们保持联系的日常事务。你的女儿拿到驾照了或者你叔叔得了肾结石。其中大部分只是记录事实)”可知，Jeremy Cone认为八卦是保持日常社交联系，分享信息的一种方式，故选B。]
13．In Elena Martinescu's opinion, what can people benefit from gossip
A．People can be improved in an all round way.
B．People can get rid of immoral behavior rapidly.
C．People can be kept informed of others' privacy.
D．People can change their behavior for the better.
D　[推理判断题。根据倒数第三段Martinescu的话“We also found negative gossip makes people likely to repair the aspects of their behavior that they were criticized for(我们也发现，消极的八卦能让人改正他们被批评的行为)”可知，在Elena Martinescu看来，有时候八卦会让你正确看待自己的不足，从而改变不好的某些行为或习惯。故选D。]
14．Which of the following statements is right according to the text
A．It is plain to see that people gossip all the time.
B．Based on the study, the majority of gossip is trash talk.
C．It's advisable that we turn a deaf ear to negative gossip.
D．It's likely that gossip helps us know more about one's quality.
D　[细节理解题。根据倒数第一段的“But confiding in your friends and colleagues and sharing impressions about another person—even when they're negative—may be helpful.(但是向你的朋友和同事倾诉，分享对另一个人的印象，即使他们是消极的，可能会有帮助)”以及倒数第四段的“When you gossip, you can keep track of who is contributing to the group and who's being selfish(当你八卦时，你可以了解到谁对团队做了贡献，谁更自私)”可知，八卦极有可能让我们更了解一个人的品质。故选D。]
15．What conclusion can we draw about gossip
A．Gossip is the last thing people could do.
B．Gossip should be advocated by the society.
C．Gossip may not be as harmful as it sounds.
D．Gossip is the best way to build social bonds.
C　[推理判断题。通读全文，结合倒数第三段的“We also found negative gossip makes people likely to repair the aspects of their behavior that they were criticized for(我们也发现，消极的八卦能让人改正他们被批评的行为)”和最后一段的“But confiding in your friends and colleagues and sharing impressions about another person—even when they're negative—may be helpful.(但是向你的朋友和同事倾诉，分享对另一个人的印象，即使他们是消极的，可能会有帮助)”可推知，八卦有时也有好处，可能并不像听起来那么有害。故选C。]
第二节
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。
Pain is usually connected to a nervous system.When you put your hand too close to a hot stove, nerve cells send a warning of danger to your brain. 16 That, in turn, causes you to pull your hand away before any serious damage is done.Plants don't have nerves or brains, so they can't feel pain like you do. 17 And since they can't escape a potentially dangerous situation, they need other ways of fighting back.
18 Some plants discourage plant eaters from chewing on them by growing thorns or sharp little hairs, like a rose or a cactus does.Other plants produce bad tasting or even toxic chemicals.These force potential attackers to abandon their meals.
But a plant called bittersweet nightshade does something even more smartly.When a slug, a small creature, chews holes in a nightshade's leaf, a kind of sweet juice begins dripping out of the edges of the wound, almost as if the plant were bleeding. 19 In order to collect the juice, the ants gather all over the injured nightshade plant and attack anything that stands in their way—including the slug that damaged the plant in the first place.In short: Slug attacks plant; plant calls army of ants to come closer to kill slug. 20
Plants may look like passive victims.But they have armies of cold blooded killers always ready to obey their orders.
A．Your brain recognizes that signal as pain.
B．The biggest threat to a plant's life is getting eaten.
C．This sweet juice successfully drives the slug away.
D．Your brain is definitely a complex nervous system.
E．The sweet juice happens to be a favorite food of ants.
F．But plants definitely do recognize when something is hurting them.
G．Thus, the plant can help itself by calling the enemies of its own enemies.
【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了植物没有神经和大脑，所以它们感受不到疼痛，但是，面对潜在威胁，植物也有反应机制。
16．A　[根据前句“Pain is usually connected to a nervous system.When you put your hand too close to a hot stove, nerve cells send a warning of danger to your brain.(疼痛通常与神经系统有关。当你的手太靠近火炉时，神经细胞会向你的大脑发出危险的警告)”可知，神经细胞会向大脑发出危险的警告。A项“Your brain recognizes that signal as pain(你的大脑将这个信号识别为疼痛)”正是大脑收到这一警告后的反应，句中“that signal”与上文“a warning of danger”相照应。故选A。]
17．F　[根据前句“Plants don't have nerves or brains, so they can't feel pain like you do.(植物没有神经或大脑，所以它们不能像你一样感觉到疼痛)” 以及后句“And since they can't escape a potentially dangerous situation, they need other ways of fighting back.(因为他们无法逃脱潜在的危险，他们需要其他的方式来反击)”可知，此处意指植物虽然感受不到疼痛，但是能识别潜在地危险，所以需要其他的反应机制来反击这种威胁。F项“But plants definitely do recognize when something is hurting them.(但植物确实能识别出什么东西伤害了它们)”符合文意。故选F。]
18．B　[根据后句“Some plants discourage plant eaters from chewing on them by growing thorns or sharp little hairs, like a rose or a cactus does.(有些植物会长出刺或尖利的茸毛来阻止食草动物咀嚼它们，比如玫瑰或仙人掌)”可知，植物在面对捕食者时会进化出应对机制，所以此处应该要提到植物的最大威胁是来自掠食者。B项“The biggest threat to a plant's life is getting eaten.(对植物生命最大的威胁是被吃掉)”符合文意。故选B。]
19．E　[根据后句“In order to collect the juice, the ants gather all over the injured nightshade plant and attack anything that stands in their way—including the slug that damaged the plant in the first place.(为了收集龙葵汁液，蚂蚁会在受伤的龙葵植株上四处聚集，攻击任何挡住它们去路的东西——包括最初破坏植物的蛞蝓)”可知，此处以实例——龙葵植株如何利用蚂蚁应对其他掠食者的攻击——来解释植物如何应对来自捕食者的威胁，所以空处要提到蚂蚁和植物的关系。E项“The sweet juice happens to be a favorite food of ants(这种甜汁碰巧是蚂蚁最喜欢的食物)”符合文意。故选E。]
20．G　[根据前句“In short: Slug attacks plant; plant calls army of ants to come closer to kill slug.(简而言之：蛞蝓攻击植物； 植物召唤蚂蚁大军来杀死蛞蝓)”可知，此处说明植物如何通过特有的机制引来其他动物抵抗掠食者潜在威胁的。G项“Thus, the plant can help itself by calling the enemies of its own enemies.(因此，植物可以通过召唤敌人的敌人来帮助自己)”符合文意。故选G。]

A
After eight puppies were abandoned on the side of the road in Texas, an animal shelter came to the rescue and brought them all the way from Brownwood, Texas to Wintersville, Ohio.Their journey was, by no means, a simple one.
The puppies were first found fighting for their lives in a muddy channel.They were extremely weak and dehydrated after being forced to protect themselves in the burning Texas sun.Once the puppies were discovered, their journey was far from over.They were immediately brought to what is known as a “high kill” shelter, and after only a few hours, were scheduled for euthanasia．Things weren't looking good for the pups and were cruel despite lack of suffering.Luckily, they were rescued once more.
“There's a group that specifically goes around to these high kill shelters and rescues the animals that are scheduled for euthanasia，” said Brandi Damewood, the JCHS Community Outreach Manager.“These guys were rescued by the Corrine T．Smith Animal Center.”
The puppies would eventually end up under the care of the Jefferson County Humane Society.This is because no kill shelters and rescue organizations often work together to aid in urgent cases.An incredible network of shelters helping other shelters enables these miracle workers to save so many pets in danger of being put down prematurely.
The JCHS has appropriately titled the puppies' journey “the freedom ride”．The 20 leg trip required 16 different volunteers to drive a total of 1，300 miles and they would meet at specified stops, and then the puppies would be transferred to the next driver for the next leg of the journey.But it was all worth it to save these adorable pups!
Since arriving in Ohio, the puppies have been vaccinated and are hoping to find forever homes in the near future.

For more than a century, student journalists at the Daily Tar Heel (DTH) have written about life on campus, US and raised questions on the issues of free expression, education, and big time athletics.
The independent student newspaper recently celebrated its 125th anniversary.To mark the special day, student reporters asked the question: What's the future of the DTH The proud newspaper has been searching for the answer, and so have other college newspapers across the US.
Student newspapers are facing a dark reality.As they are free to read, they are making less money than ever, meaning that such newspapers are finding it hard to survive.
“Most college papers have reduced their print editions.While it used to produce around 22，000 newspapers each time, it only makes around 10，000 now，” said Erica Perel, general manager.
Increasingly, student journalists have turned their focus to digital versions of their newspapers, and the new ways social media allows them to tell stories and mirror what's going on in the professional journalism world.
“I think we're adjusting very well in moving away from that print mentality.But it's challenging，” said Jonathan Carter, a student at North Carolina State University.
So what should student newspapers do LoMonte said the best solution would be for universities to financially back student journalism, since journalism is a part of cultivating civically (公民地) responsible students and the independent media coverage is recognized as an effective vehicle.
In the meantime, Bruce dePyssler, adviser to North Carolina Central University's Campus Echo newspaper, said his students post one story a day online.The best stories are put together for a once a semester (学期) print edition.
“And even if student journalists don't go into media jobs，” Perel said, “they've still had a great education.”
“The number one thing that we teach is critical thinking and how to pursue knowledge constantly，” she said.“The ones who are living through this transition (过渡) are the ones that are going to be a lot tougher for it in the end.”

Once upon a time, when you first attended a youth sporting event, your parents probably weren't expecting you to become a professional athlete.They signed up for a basketball, football or swimming course for you in the hope that you might learn lessons about winning in a gentlemanly way, losing with dignity and insisting on it when things get tough.Yes, doing sports improves health, but it is the life lessons that matter most.
For many of us, instead of struggling to improve our minds and spirits, we began judging progress only by the size of our muscles or the numbers on a weighing machine.For us, the thought that athletic competition is about greater life lessons and the building of character has been overshadowed by headlines about professional athletes.
“And yet there's still strong evidence that sports strongly foster certain personal qualities，” says Angela Lumpkin, Professor of the Department of Health, Sport and Exercise Sciences at the University of Kansas.And that's true for athletes of any age.Amateur sports provide a safe place for competition.They also provide a practice ground for managing stress.
The advantages of taking part in a sport can seep(透) into your professional life, too.In basketball, for example, “Getting everyone to play the right role on the court is the key to success，” says Alan Arlt, the founder of the Life Time Fitness basketball program Ultimate Hoops.“That is certainly useful in the business world, where everyone understands their own role in the organization.” In addition, “In athletic events, you go through good and bad times often in the period of two hours，” says Flip Saunders.“Do you have the calm manner to settle yourself down, or do you totally lose it and get thrown out of the game which hurts both you and your team All of that on court experience has impacted the way you approach situations in reality.”

In the workplace, one of the most important skills to possess is good communication.Employers value employees who can communicate effectively. 16 While listening and speaking are important in effective communication, there are other skills that are vital to good communication in the workplace.
Having empathy is very useful in communication.Empathy involves seeing things from the perspective of others. 17 While this may be difficult for some, empathizing with others can be very helpful to keep in tune with your own emotions and ideas.
Equally beneficial is being aware of others and their emotions in communication, which means being sympathetic to misfortunes and praising positive milestones. 18 Getting to know co workers on a first name basis and holding meaningful conversations through the work week create a better and more productive work environment.
19 Maintaining an active, friendly attitude lets co workers consider you are open to hearing their opinions about projects or new designs.Be sure to maintain eye contact the majority of the time you are speaking with someone, and use hand gestures to help you leave a good impression on others.Smiling is incredibly dynamic and creates a noticeable difference.Smile and you are more regarded as more approachable and trustworthy.
While many of these good communication skills occur naturally in individuals, some may need to be learned and practiced in order to become second nature.Many people earn a Master of Arts in Dispute Resolution, an M．A.degree in Marriage and Family Therapy or a Bachelor's Degree in Social Work. 20

Jenny was the only child in her home.She had a quarrel (争吵) with her mother that afternoon and she ran out of the house angrily.She couldn't help crying sadly when she thought of the angry words from her mother.After she walked aimlessly in the street for hours, she felt hungry but had no money.She stood in front of a shop which sold noodles for several minutes, but she had to leave.The seller of the noodle shop came out and noticed the young girl.
“Hey, girl, you want to have noodles？”
“Oh, yes, but I have no money on me，” she replied.
“Oh, that's nothing.I'll treat you today，” the owner said, “come in.”
The seller brought her a bowl of noodles, whose smell was so attractive.As she was eating, Jenny cried silently.
“What is it？” asked the man kindly.
“Nothing, actually I was just touched by your kindness！” said Jenny as she wiped her tears.“Even a stranger on the street will give me a bowl of noodles, while my mother drove me out of the house.She showed no care for me.She is so merciless compared to a stranger！”
Hearing the words, the seller smiled, “Girl, do you really think so I only gave you a bowl of noodles and you thanked me a lot.But it is your mother who has raised you since you were a baby.Can you number the times she cooked for you Have you expressed your thanks to her？”
Jenny sat there, speechless and numb with shock.She remembered mother's familiar face and weathered hands.“Why did I not think of that A bowl of noodles from a stranger made me feel indebted (感激的), but I have never thanked my mum for what she has done for me.”
On the way home, Jenny made up her mind to say sorry to her mother for her rudeness as soon as she arrived home.

A gentle touch on her hair called her mind back.She raised her head and saw the familiar face of her mother.“Here you come! I've been looking for you，” she said, tired and relieved.Jenny couldn't help throwing herself into her mother's arms.“Mum, I'm so sorry and thank you for what you have done for me.” She expressed her sincere apology and great gratitude.Hearing this, her mother smiled, patting her back gently.模块整合训练

The Gurugram based startup Rivigo was founded in 2014 by Deepak Garg.The central objective of the now billion dollar company was to create a model where no truck driver would drive for more than 5－6 hours at a stretch and would reach home the same day.
Looking to build a company, Deepak realized that the rise of e commerce had dramatically increased the demand for trucks, yet in India the industry was struggling with a shortage of drivers.How could this be in a country of over a billion people with a high unemployment rate— despite healthy wages for truck drivers
To solve this puzzle, Deepak visited small villages where many truck drivers could be found.During his one on one conversations he discovered that since truck drivers are almost always on the road, they often develop bad habits such as heavy drinking.Partly because of this, few villagers wanted a son to become a truck driver or a daughter to marry one.What, then, was the solution Could it be to bring the drivers back to their homes every night That could work—but how could he make it happen if a trucker's trip took three or four days
A relay service, Deepak realized, could solve the problem.Effectively, he built truck stops four hours apart along a selected route.A driver could go from point A to point B, drop his truck there and pick up another truck to drive from B back to A．Another driver in turn would pick up the truck from B and take it to point C, and so on.This not only brought drivers home each night, but created great value for logistics (物流) companies.A truck that was previously used for only 10 to 12 hours a day, allowing drivers to have time to sleep and eat, could now operate for more than 20 hours, cutting total delivery time by almost half.
To be sure, there's a lot of technology behind the scene.But the founder strongly believes being humane (人道的) above anything else is the biggest factor that distinguishes him from the common crowd.
【语篇解读】　本文是一篇新闻报道。文章通过一种卡车运输新模式，引发对卡车司机这份职业和对卡车利用的问题。Deepak为了解决问题，积极思考并采取行动，最终成功解决卡车司机短缺的问题。

“Eating together” is a statement that doctors use regularly when they talk with families about maintaining normal weight.Children who eat regular family meals tend to have lower rates of obesity.A new study takes a look at why.
A team led by Jerica Berge asked the families of 120 children to record eight days of meals.Berge's team sorted the interactions occurring at the table into two broad groups—those relating to the emotional atmosphere at the meal, such as how much the family members seemed to be enjoying the time together, and how many uncomfortable silences occurred—and those involving food specially, such as how many unpleasant feelings emerged from discussions about food, and how much the parents controlled what and how much children ate.
Children who were overweight had family meals that included more negative emotional interactions compared to children who weren't overweight.Their meals tended to have a warmer, more communicative atmosphere.For example, these children were encouraged to eat foods to get stronger or run faster, while heavier children experienced more negative pressures including threats and being made to feel guilty about those who can't afford to eat three meals a day.If parents talked constantly throughout the meal about food, and lectured the children about homework or attempted to control what the children ate, the youngsters were also more likely to be heavy.Also, the researchers found heavier children tended to have shorter meals.
In the meantime, the current data suggests that simply sitting down at the same table at the same time isn't enough to influence obesity.And it's up to family doctors to help families understand how to take full advantage of breaking bread together.
【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讨论和父母一起吃饭对儿童体重的影响。

A．They told the children to eat to get healthy.
B．They talked with the children about homework.
C．They lectured the children about treasuring food.

At 3：30 a．m.EDT on April 19, the Ingenuity helicopter—which landed on Mars with the Perseverance rover (漫游者) in February—took off from the Martian surface.More importantly, it circled for about 30 seconds, three meters above the surface and came right back down again.
It may not sound like a huge achievement, but it is.Ingenuity's flight is the first powered flight of an aircraft on another planet.It marks the milestone in the story of human space exploration.
There are several technological challenges to conduct helicopter flight in another world.First, and more significantly, helicopters need an atmosphere to fly.The blades (桨叶), or “rotors” of a helicopter must spin (旋转) fast enough to generate a force called “lift”．But lift can only be generated in the presence of some kind of atmosphere.While Mars does have an atmosphere, it's much, much thinner than Earth's—about 100 times thinner, in fact.
Flying Ingenuity in Mar's atmosphere is therefore the equivalent (对等物) of flying a helicopter on Earth at a height of 100，000 feet.For reference, commercial aircraft fly between 30，000－40，000 feet above the Earth's surface and the highest we've ever been in a helicopter on Earth is 42，000 feet.
Then there's the Martian gravity to consider.It is about one third the strength of gravity on Earth, which means we'd be able to lift Ingenuity with less power than it would be required here.But while Mars' gravity works to our advantage, this is cancelled out by the lack of atmosphere.
Even sending the signal for the flight to begin required a collection of advanced technology.While it only requires minutes for radio signals to travel between Earth and Mars, there was still a delay of hours for those signals to reach the helicopter.
All these things require Ingenuity to be light enough.Actually, it weighs less than 4 pounds, stands just 1.6 feet tall, and carries batteries, heaters and sensors.Besides, its two rotors had to spin about 2，400 revolutions per minute — five times faster than on Earth.
When in flight, Ingenuity's shadow gives the impression of oversized, four winged dragonfly.But the tiny craft is set to make an enormous impact on space exploration.“Sojourner's technical exposure in 1997 gave NASA the guarantee of future pilots.What the Ingenuity team has done has given us a new chance.I think that's the way we build the future，” said JPL director Michael Watkins.In addition, Watkins believes that Ingenuity is expected to lay the foundation for more antigravity spacecraft capable of exploring other worlds in a totally new way.
【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述了“独创”号直升机首次在火星上飞行，以及其在火星上飞行所需要的突破性技术。
12．Which of the following is of extraordinary significance according to the author
A．The Ingenuity helicopter landed on Mars successfully.
B.The Ingenuity helicopter made its first flight on Mars.
C.The Ingenuity helicopter stayed on Mars for a long time.
D．The Ingenuity helicopter travelled between Mars and Earth.
B　[细节理解题。根据文章第二段“It may not sound like a huge achievement, but it is.Ingenuity's flight is the first powered flight of an aircraft on another planet.It marks the milestone in the story of human space exploration.”(这听起来可能不是一个巨大的成就，但它是。这是飞行器在另一个星球上的首次机动飞行。它标志着人类太空探索史上的一个里程碑。)可知“独创”号直升机首次在火星上飞行。故选B。]
13．What can we learn about Mars' atmosphere
A．It can hardly provide a lift for Ingenuity to fly.
B．It's not safe for Ingenuity to fly high and fast.
C．It's too thin to keep Ingenuity stable in the air.
D．It can only raise Ingenuity to a height of 100，000 feet.
A　[推理判断题。根据文章第三段“But lift can only be generated in the presence of some kind of atmosphere.While Mars does have an atmosphere, it's much, much thinner than Earth's—about 100 times thinner, in fact.”(但是升力只能在有某种大气存在的情况下产生。虽然火星确实有大气层，但它比地球要薄得多——事实上，大约比地球稀薄100倍。)以及文章第四段“Flying Ingenuity in Mar's atmosphere is therefore the equivalent of flying a helicopter on Earth at a height of 100，000 feet.For reference, commercial aircraft fly between 30，000－40，000 feet above the Earth's surface and the highest we've ever been in a helicopter on Earth is 42，000 feet.”(因此，在火星大气层中进行飞行相当于在地球上10万英尺的高空驾驶一架直升机。作为参考，商用飞机在地球表面上空3万～ 4万英尺之间飞行，我们在地球上乘坐的离地面最高的直升机是4.2万英尺。)可知，火星大气层几乎不能为“独创”号直升机提供飞行的动力。故选A。]
14．What can we know from paragraph 3 to paragraph 6
A．How Ingenuity performed during the flight.
B．Why Ingenuity's flight on Mars is a big deal.
C．How Ingenuity survived the tough conditions of Mars.
D．What contributed to the successful flight of Ingenuity.
B　[推理判断题。根据文章第三段的“There are several technological challenges to conduct helicopter flight in another world.First, and more significantly, helicopters need an atmosphere to fly.”(在另一个世界进行直升机飞行有几个技术挑战。首先，更重要的是，直升机需要大气层才能飞行。)；文章第四段的“Flying Ingenuity in Mar's atmosphere is therefore the equivalent of flying a helicopter on Earth at a height of 100，000 feet.”(在火星大气层飞行相当于在地球上离地面10万英尺高空飞行的直升机。)；文章第五段的“Then there's the Martian gravity to consider.”(然后还要考虑火星的重力。)；以及第六段的“Even sending the signal for the flight to begin required a collection of advanced technology.” (即使是发射信号让飞行开始也需要一套先进的技术)可知，文章第三段到第六段主要讲解的是为什么“独创”号在火星上的飞行是一件大事。故选B。]
15．Why did Michael Watkins mention Sojourner
A．To explain how its mission differs from Ingenuity's.
B．To show technological progress in Mars exploration.
C．To stress the significance of Ingenuity's flight on Mars.
D．To illustrate the impact of space exploration on future flight.
D　[推理判断题。根据文章最后一段的“Sojourner's technical exposure in 1997 gave NASA the guarantee of future pilots.What the Ingenuity team has done has given us a new chance.I think that's the way we build the future.”(1997年，“旅居者”的技术接触给了NASA未来飞行员的保障。“独创”号团队的工作给了我们一个新的机会。我认为这就是我们创造未来的方式。)可知，迈克尔·沃特金斯提到“旅居者”是为了说明太空探索对未来飞行的影响。故选D。]

On the last day of each year, it has become a ceremony for large crowds to gather in the brightly lit chaos of New York's Times Square to ring in new beginnings. 16 At the stroke of midnight, the crowd erupt into loud cheers.
17 Because of the coronavirus pandemic, no one was allowed to gather in person, but there will be a virtual event for those wanting to watch it at home.This marked the first year that crowds were prohibited from flocking to Times Square.Though the ball drop was canceled for two years during World War Ⅱ， people still came to observe the tradition and hold a minute of silence.
Over the past century, the shining ball has evolved from an iron and wood cage decorated with light bulbs to a colorful crystal object. 18 The Times Square ball began thanks to a metalworker, named Jacob Starr and the former New York Times publisher, Adolph Ochs.In 1907 Ochs commissioned Starr, who worked for sign making firm Strauss Signs to create a new visual display.The new concept was based on time balls, nautical (航海的) devices that had gained popularity in the 19th century.As time telling became more precise, ship navigators (领航员) needed a standardized way to set their chronometers (精密计时表).Each day, harbors and observatories would raise and lower a metal ball at the same time to allow sailors to set their clocks to match the ball. 19
Though Manhattan had been partially lit by electricity since the early 1880s, half of the American homes were still lit by gas lights and candles until the 1920s. 20 It was instantly popular.
A．It seems you have time to change your life.
B．City officials banned fireworks after just a few years.
C．Last year, however, the Times Square ball dropped to empty streets.
D．Many people might wonder how this New Year's Eve celebration started.
E．At 11：59 p．m.a shining ball drops down a pole, while attendees count down from 60.
F．Ochs was inspired by the Western Union Building, which dropped a time ball each day at noon.

16．E　[根据前文“On the last day of each year, it has become a ceremony for large crowds to gather in the brightly lit chaos of New York's Times Square to ring in new beginnings.”(在每年的最后一天，这已经成为一个仪式，大量的人群聚集在灯火通明的纽约时代广场，(等待着)新年(钟声的敲响)的开始。)可知，此处说明了人们在纽约时代广场集结的目的，因而空白处可以叙述在钟声临近敲响时，人们会做什么。选项E“At 11：59 p．m.a shining ball drops down a pole, while attendees count down from 60.”(晚上11点59分，一个闪亮的球从杆子上掉下来，参加者从60开始倒数。)符合题意，故选E。]
17．C　[根据后文“Because of the coronavirus pandemic, no one was allowed to gather in person, but there will be a virtual event for those wanting to watch it at home.”(由于冠状病毒的流行，没有人被允许聚集，但是对于那些想在家里观看的人来说，将会有一个虚拟的事件。)可知，因为疫情广场聚集变成了虚拟的事情，所以空白处应该描述是疫情带给时代广场的变化。选项C“Last year, however, the Times Square ball dropped to empty streets.”(然而，去年时代广场的球掉到了空荡荡的街道上。)与文意逻辑一致，故选C。]
18．D　[根据前文“Over the past century, the shining ball has evolved from an iron and wood cage decorated with light bulbs to a colorful crystal object.”(在过去的一个世纪里，这个闪亮的球从一个装饰着灯泡的铁和木制笼子演变成了一个五彩缤纷的水晶物体。)提到了球的形式的转变，结合前文的描述，到最后一分钟时，会有球从杆子上掉下，然后人们倒数。所以随着球的形式的转变，接下来可以描述人们很想知道庆祝将会如何进行。选项D“Many people might wonder how this New Year's Eve celebration started.”(很多人可能想知道，这个新年前夜的庆祝活动是怎么开始的。)符合题意，故选D。]
19．F　[根据前文“The Times Square ball began thanks to a metalworker, named Jacob Starr and the former New York Times publisher, Adolph Ochs.”(时代广场的倒计时球(的形式改变)得益于一位金属工人，他叫雅各布 · 斯塔尔，还有前《纽约时报》出版人阿道夫 · 奥克斯。)所以空白处可以描述这样的改变时如何发生的。选项F“Ochs was inspired by the Western Union Building, which dropped a time ball each day at noon.”(奥克斯的灵感来源于西部联合大厦，它每天中午投下一个时间球。)与文意相符，故选F。]
20．G　[根据前文“Though Manhattan had been partially lit by electricity since the early 1880s, half of the American homes were still lit by gas lights and candles until the 1920s.”(虽然曼哈顿从19世纪80年代早期就开始部分通电，但是直到20世纪20年代，一半的美国家庭仍然用煤气灯和蜡烛照明。)下文“ It was instantly popular.”(它一下子就火了。)联系前文段落叙述倒计时球的转变，后文It此处指代的就是倒计时球，所以空白处可描述当这个新的倒计时球开始时，现场的气势很迷人。选择G“The sight of a shining ball lowering down from the dark skies would have seemed fascinating.”(从黑暗的天空降落下来的一个闪亮的球的景象，看起来很迷人。)与文意相符，故选G。]

Ladies and gentlemen，
Good morning.I'm Li Hua.It's my great honor to say something about the global water shortage and ways of dealing with it.
As we know, the global water shortage is becoming increasingly severe due to several factors.Therefore, it's high time we did something about it.
Firstly, an effective way, I think, is to reserve water in a scientific way for future use.Besides, new methods need to be developed to use the existing water resources.Last but not least, it's everyone's responsibility to make good use of water, such as recycling and saving water in our daily life.
In conclusion, people around the world should be aware of the real situation of water shortage, protecting water with no efforts spared.
That's all.Thank you.

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。
I was 9 years old when I found out my father was ill.It was 1994 but I can remember my mother's words as if it were yesterday: “Kerrel, I don't want you to take food from your father, because he has AIDS.Be very careful when you are around him.”
AIDS wasn't something we talked about in my country when I was growing up.From then on, I knew that this would be a family secret.My parents were not together any more, and my dad lived alone.For a while he could take care of himself.But when I was 12, his condition worsened.My father's other children lived far away, so it fell to me to look after him.We couldn't afford all the necessary medication for him, and because Dad was unable to work, I had no school supplies and often couldn't even buy food for dinner.I would sit in class feeling completely lost.The teacher's words muffled (低沉) as I tried to figure out how I was going to manage.
I did not share my burden with anyone.I had seen how people reacted to AIDS.Kids laughed at classmates who had parents with the disease.And even adults could be cruel.When my father was moved to the hospital, the nurses would leave his food on the bedside table even though he was too weak to feed himself.
I had known that he was going to die.But after so many years of keeping his condition a secret, I was completely unprepared when he reached his final days.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；

Sad and hopeless, I called a woman at the non profit National AIDS Support.
Now, I am also working at the non profit organization.
【参考范文】
Sad and hopeless, I called a woman at the nonprofit National AIDS Support.Over the years, the memory of that day was still fresh.Identifying with me, she kept me on the phone for hours, drawing me from the border of breakdown and telling me everything was bound to turn better.That day, she saved me, let me out of grief and rekindled my confidence in life.That day, an idea struck me that ignorance was terrifying than AIDS.That day, I knew I had to do something.
Now, I am also working at the nonprofit organization.The seed secretly buried in my heart many years ago has eventually come up.I am completely buried in my work, bringing AIDS to light.Websites, social media and speech stages are all my battlefield to publicize the knowledge of AIDS and fight against prejudice to the victims.I am delighted to see more and more people come to believe in me, leaving ignorance behind.Father did not want to call attention to AIDS.I do.
