Less Well-known, but Equally Fascinating National Parks in the US
Alcatraz Island (San Francisco, California)
Alcatraz Island, also known as “The Rock” (only 0.029 square miles) in the middle of San Francisco Bay, is the home of the oldest operating lighthouse on the west coast and the infamous federal prison. Visit the legendary island that once served as the San Francisco armoury (军工厂). “The Rock” will give visitors a glimpse of what life was like for prisoners and guards. Advance purchase is required because of the limited number of visitors allowed on the Island each day.
Cape Cod National Seashore (Wellfleet, Massachusetts)
Cape Cod National Seashore is a protected area of shoreline,natural habitats, and historically significant structures. It consists of 68 square miles of beaches, ponds, marshes, and woodlands extending for 40 miles. With its historic lighthouses, this park is a great place to swim in the Atlantic, explore nature trails and learn about the nation’s sailing past and present.
Biscayne National Park (Miami, Florida)
The park provides access for visitors to encounter and explore the scenery, wildlife, history and other amazing resources. This park covers 270 square miles, and 95% of it is underwater. Divers and snorkelers hit the ocean to explore shipwrecks and a bright coral reef, home to reef lobsters.
Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument (Florissant, Colorado)
Beneath a grassy mountain valley in central Colorado, lies one of the richest and most diverse fossil deposits in the world. This mountain valley protects 9 square miles of petrified (石化) redwoods and fossils of ancient insects and plants, which were preserved 35 million years ago when erupting volcanoes covered the valley in ash. Apart from a variety of outdoor activities, it offers visitors opportunities for hands-on experience to learn about fossils and science in the exhibit area.

The person who set the course of my life was a school teacher named Marjorie Hurd. When 1 stepped off a ship in New York Harbor in 1949, I was a nine-year-old war refugee, who had lost his mother and was coming to live with the father he did not know. My mother, Eleni Gatzoyiannis, had been imprisoned and shot for sending my sisters and me to freedom.
I was thirteen years old when I entered Chandler Junior High. Shortly after I arrived, I was told to select a hobby to pursue during “club hours.” The idea of hobbies and clubs made no sense to my immigrant ears, but I decided to follow the prettiest girl in my class. She led me into the presence of Miss Hurd, the school newspaper adviser and English teacher.
A tough woman with salt and pepper hair and determined eyes, Miss Hurd had no patience with lazy bones. She drilled us in grammar, assigned stories for us to read and discuss, and eventually taught us how to put out a newspaper. Her introduction to the literary wealth of Greece gave me a new perspective on my war-torn homeland, making me proud of my origins. Her efforts inspired me to understand the logic and structure of the English language. Owing to her inspiration, during my next twenty-five years, I became a journalist by profession.
Miss Hurd retired at the age of 62. By then, she had taught for a total of 41 years. Even after her retirement, she continually made a project of unwilling students in whom she spied a spark of potential. The students were mainly from the most troubled homes, yet she alternately bullied and charmed them with her own special brand of tough love, until the spark caught fire.
Miss Hurd was the one who directed my grief and pain into writing. But for Miss Hurd, I wouldn’t have become a reporter. She was the one who sent me into journalism and indirectly caused all the good things that came after.
24．What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 most probably mean
A．Hobbies and clubs did not interest the author.
B．The author turned a deaf ear to joining clubs.
C．Hobbies and clubs were inaccessible to immigrants like the author.
D．The author had no idea what hobbies and clubs were all about.
25．Which of the following caused the author to think of his homeland differently
A．Stepping on the American soil for the first time.
B．Being exposed to Greek literary works.
C．Her mother’s miserable death.
D．Following the prettiest girl in his class.
26．It can be inferred from Paragraph 4 that _______.
A．Miss Hurd employed a unique way to handle these students
B．Miss Hurd’s contribution was recognized across the nation
C．Students from troubled homes preferred Miss Hurd’s teaching style
D．The students Miss Hurd taught were all finally fired
27．What is the text mainly about
A．How the author became a journalist.
B．The importance of inspiration in one’s life.
C．The teacher who shaped the author’s life.
D．Factors contributing to a successful career.
Happiness is not a warm phone, according to a new study exploring the link between young life satisfaction and screen time. The study was led by professor of psychology Jean M. Twenge at San Diego State University (SDSU).
To research this link, Twenge, along with colleagues Gabrielle Martin at SDSU and W. Keith Campbell at the University of Georgia, dealt with data from the Monitoring the Future (MtF) study, a nationally representative survey of more than a million U. S. 8th-, 10th-, and 12th-graders. The survey asked students questions about how often they spent time on their phones, tablets and computers, as well as questions about their face-to-face social interactions and their overall happiness.
On average, found that teens who spent more time in front of screen devices—playing computer games, using social media, texting and video chatting—were less happy than those who invested more time in non-screen activities like sports, reading newspapers and magazines, and face-to-face social interactions.
“The key to digital media use and happiness is limited use,” Twenge said. “Aim to spend no more than two hours a day on digital media, and try to increase the amount of time you spend seeing friends face-to-face and exercising—two activities reliably linked to greater happiness.”
Looking at historical trends from the same age groups since the 1990s, it’s easy to find that the increase of screen devices over time happened at the same time as a general drop-off in reported happiness in U. S. teens. Specifically, young peopled life satisfaction and happiness declined sharply after 2012. That’s the year when the percentage of Americans who owned a smartphone rose above 50 percent. By far the largest change in teens' lives between 2012 and 2016 was the increase in the amount of time they spent on digital media, and the following decline in in-person social activities and sleep.
28．Which method did Twenge’s team use for the study
A．Calculating students’ happiness.
B．Asking students certain questions.
C．Analyzing data from a survey.
D．Doing experiments on screen time.
29．How does the author develop the finding of the study in paragraph 3
A．By making a comparison. B．By giving an example.
C．By making an argument. D．By introducing a concept.
30．What is the purpose of the last paragraph
A．To draw a conclusion from the study.
B．To offer some advice to the readers.
C．To prove social activities’ importance.
D．To support the researchers’ finding.
31．Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A．Quitting Phones Equals Happiness
B．Screen Time Should Be Banned
C．Teens’ Lives Have Changed Sharply
D．Screen-addicted Teens Are Unhappier
Waste sorting is a procedure that involves the separation of waste on purpose into different kinds as defined by the final use for the waste. That is to say, this separation of waste is usually aimed at different ends, including for recycling purposes, or even for producing power. As such, the waste sorting could fall into sorts like paper-based materials, plastic-based materials and organic materials. The process could also be started by hand. Indeed, some companies that manage waste have some sorts of waste sorting facilities in place for this aim.
An example of the type of waste sorting that could be observed at the individual level is the common type in cities where various waste bins are set out with clear indications of the type of waste that should be put into them. Some of the waste bins have pictures indicating that only paper should be put into the bins, some are meant for cigarette butts, others for plastics, and the rest could be for any other type of waste. Also, persons at home could begin the process of waste sorting by dividing the waste into various kinds before taking it out. Some companies and government organizations even offer incentives, such as offering some money to consumers in exchange for them bringing in used bottles and plastics.
Some companies have specifically created facilities that are only targeted toward the large-scale application of waste sorting for the purpose of separating the various collected waste into.
One of the purposes for the application of waste sorting could be for the sake of separating materials for recycling, such as plastics and paper. It could also be for the separation of the waste into the general categories of wet and dry waste. The process could also be for the purpose of sorting commercial waste. With the application, I’m sure it is becoming easier to separate waste.
32．What can we know about waste sorting
A．It is aimed at producing paper. B．Its process is started by hand.
C．Its kinds are decided by the final use. D．Its aim is to recycle waste successfully.
33．What can help the residents sort waste easily
A．Educating them to know common knowledge.
B．Laying out marked dustbins in the neighborhood.
C．Warning them not to drop rubbish everywhere.
D．Indicating only recycled waste can be collected.
34．What does the underlined word “incentives” in paragraph 2 mean
A．Methods. B．Suggestions. C．Rewards. D．Solutions.
35．What is the author’s attitude towards the application
A．Doubtful. B．Worried. C．Indifferent. D．Positive.

There are two good ways of tracking your progress. One way is having a clear picture of yourself. 40 Having unconnected people in the issue can offer objective (客观的) view and usually a clearer and more positive opinion about your personal development.

67．读后续写范文：
At one station, a big man with cuts on his face got on the train. He sat down across from Adam and looked at him coldly. Since the boy was traveling alone for the first time, he got frightened seeing that man. So he looked away and tried to sleep. But he couldn’t help thinking about that man, especially the scar on the man’s face. He wanted to go and ask the train conductor to change his seat but he feared to tell the conductor his idea.
Then he remembered his father’s letter. He put his hand in his pocket quietly and took out the letter. His father had written, “Don’t be afraid, my little brave man. Just imagine I am here with you on the train, in the neighbouring car.” After reading that letter, the boy’s face lit up without any fear. He put back the letter in his pocket, and then put on his headphone. With relaxing music, he soon fell asleep.
