New England is a popular destination for fall vacations. Perhaps the only challenge of visiting New England this time of year is to know exactly when and where to go for admiring leaves. So when and where should you go?
The Best Time to Visit New England in the Fall
The first week of October should see meaningful color across the northern areas of New England. As you look further south, those areas will start showing light color. The second week of October will bring the largest areas of top fall color seen from the northern areas down through the southern areas of Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine into Massachusetts.
4 Places to See New England Fall Leaves
New England natives recommend the following New England destinations for a fall visit.
Montgomery, Vermont
On Route 58 in Hazen’s Notch near Montgomery, you’ll also spot as many as seven covered bridges — the perfect backdrop for fall leaf photos as Montgomery is considered the “Covered Bridge Capital” of Vermont.
Deerfield, Massachusetts
Historic Deerfield is full of old-period homes and many are open for tours. You can visit the shops and walk in the streets. Then you can explore state conservation areas like Mount Tom and Sunderland.
Essex, Connecticut
For a later fall getaway, Essex, Connecticut, is best for a ride along the Essex Steam Train. Downtown Essex is downright attractive in the fall as well.
Narragansett, Rhode Island
Here you can visit the Point Judith Lighthouse, enjoy a quiet walk on one of the local beaches and visit the iconic (标志性的) Narragansett beer factory. While you’re in the area, you can also visit Newport, Rhode Island, and its historic buildings, about 15 miles away.
1. What is the best time to visit New England in autumn?
A. The first week of October. B. The second week of October.

Yin, a Ph. D. student in Beijing, has turned a basement into an “underground cat city” by volunteering to care for about 150 homeless cats. He started in 2016 when he felt lonely after moving to the city. In search of companionship, he reached out to a local animal rescue center and began helping with the homeless cats. “Spending time with these cats makes me feel better,” Yin said. The cats have become his daily comfort.
Every morning at around 7 am, Yin arrives at the cat shelter. He replaces the water, refills the food bowls, and checks the air purifier before heading to his university classes. When Yin first joined, the cat shelter’s conditions were poor. Fortunately, in 2017 a photographer took pictures of the cat shelter, and posted them online, attracting public attention and donations. With those funds, the shelter was upgraded and life level for the cats improved.
As more people donated, Yin formed a donor group that has grown to 107 members. “Cat supplies are no longer scarce; what we need most is people,” Yin noted. Currently, only three long-term volunteers (including Yin) care for the cats, and he worries about the future. He knows that soon he may not be able to devote as much time as before, so he hopes more volunteers will join to help keep the cats safe and healthy.
Despite his hard work, Yin remains modest (谦虚的). “I didn’t really do anything,” he emphasized, explaining that it’s the cats that brought him a sense of peace. In the end, Yin’s greatest wish is to see this “underground cat city” disappear one day — when all the homeless cats find loving homes above ground.
4. Why did Yin volunteer to help homeless cats?
A. He felt lonely in a new city. B. He needed data for his research.
C. He was asked by a rescue center. D. He dreamed of opening a pet shelter.
5. What happened to the cat shelter after its pictures went online?
A. It was supported by the government. B. It stopped taking new homeless cats in.
C. It got money and was greatly improved. D. Most of its cats were adopted immediately.
6. What does the underlined word “scarce” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Free. B. Lacking. C. Achievable. D. High-quality.
7. Which of the following best describes Yin?
A. Selfless and caring. B. Humorous and creative.
C. Independent and brave. D. Strict and hardworking.
C
There are small animals living in the seafloor mud (淤泥) that scientists believe play an important role in slowing down the influences of climate change. Earlier this month, scientists spent several days on the Saguenay Fjord’s waters, collecting samples (样本) from 200 metres below to try to track the life in the mud.
Collecting the 60 seafloor samples was very difficult because of the Saguenay Fjord’s depth, waves and water movement. The scientists needed to get the samples off the Saguenay Fjord’s ground, and considering that the Saguenay is 200 metres deep, that’s quite a great achievement. From the boat, the scientists used a special tool to get samples.
After they were pulled from the fjord’s bottom, the samples were transported to a special place in Chicoutimi, Que. for study and experiment. They put a special sand on top of the mud in order to track the digging movements of the animals, some of which were too small to spot with the naked eye. What appeared from the mud was a small world, being full of life.
While the animals were small, the scientists found that they can help keep the seafloor healthy and finally support the whole sea ecosystem. The way that the small animals move the sediment (沉淀物) changes the entire structure of the ecosystem.
These small animals also help store carbon in the seafloor by eating or catching the matter that falls from above — a role that the scientists say could be important to slow down the influence of global warming. The scientists described the floor of seas as “one of the largest carbon stores on Earth”, holding more carbon than the rainforests.
8. Where do the small animals mentioned in the text mainly live?
A. On the surface of the sea. B. Along the banks of the Saguenay Fjord.
C. In the mud of the seafloor. D. In the open water above the Saguenay Fjord.
9. What is paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. The design of the sampling tool. B. The difficulties of collecting samples.
C. The depth of the Saguenay Fjord. D. The achievements of the research team.
10. Which one best describes small animals’ role in sea ecosystems?
A. Mud builders. B. Small soldiers.
C. Sea cleaners. D. Tiny protectors.
11. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. Scientists can now put an end to climate change.
B. More carbon in the sea is quickly lost into the air.
C. The seabed keeps less carbon than the rainforests.
D. Climate change may be worse without these animals.
D
A new study found that volunteer dog-handler teams — made up of everyday people and their pets — can find and recognize the hard-to-find eggs of the spotted lanternfly (斑衣蜡蝉), an insect (昆虫) that’s being bad for farms and forests across the eastern and central US.
The spotted lanternfly was first found in Pennsylvania in 2014. Since then, it’s spread quickly to 18 states, laying its eggs on trees, stones, and even cars, where it can get a ride to a new home. “They often look like the outer covering of mud, dry leaves, cracks, or other things’ undersides,” said Mizuho Nita, a plant specialist. “Finding them is like searching for a needle in the ocean.”
With a sense of smell that’s tens of thousands of times more sensitive than humans, dogs can be trained to find spotted lanternfly eggs. Research showed that professional dogs can do this with accurate information. But professional dogs are expensive, and there aren’t nearly enough of them to cover the growing danger. So the researchers advised the tens of thousands of dog owners already doing scent detection (气味探测) as a hobby to find hidden scents for fun in homes, parks, and training classes. And over 1,000 dog owners took part in the study.
The results? Dogs correctly identified the spotted lanternfly eggs 82 percent of the time in the controlled tests. In the real-world fields, accuracy dropped to 61 percent — still better than many human searches. “Anytime you can practise with your dog, which is good for them,” said Wellborn, one of the researchers. “Dog owners obviously enjoy it. And it’s a way they can take dog skills and training to help their community.”
Finding the spotted lanternfly eggs may be just the beginning. Another study found that trained pet dogs could also detect powdery mildew, a major disease of grapes, with over 90 percent accuracy. Together, these studies point to a growing role for dogs and their owners in safeguarding agriculture.
12. Why is it difficult to find the spotted lanternfly eggs?
A. They are micro-dust size. B. They can change their own color every day.
C. They are laid underground. D. They can make themselves look like others.
13. What is the challenge of using professional dogs to do scent detection?
A. The influence. B. The safety. C. The cost. D. The skill.
14. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 4 refer to?
A. The dogs’ happiness. B. The dogs’ egg-hunt task.
C. The dogs’ adventure. D. The dogs’ hunting ability.
15 What is the author’s attitude toward using dogs in agriculture?
A. Positive. B. Doubtful. C. Disappointed. D. Unclear.

Amy and Zoe had been best friends since primary school. They did almost everything together and trusted each other completely. However, that changed when their high school announced auditions (试演) for the spring talent show. Both girls loved singing and dreamed of being the lead singer.
Amy and Zoe practised together for the audition in the park every day after school. They worked hard and encouraged each other. On the day of auditions, Zoe performed confidently and believed she would be chosen. Amy, on the other hand, felt nervous but sang her heart out. A few days later, the results were posted on the school noticeboard. Amy was selected as the lead singer, and Zoe was chosen as a chorus (合唱团) member.
Zoe congratulated Amy with a smile, but inside she felt a sense of jealousy (嫉妒) and disappointment. Over the next week, Zoe became quiet and avoided spending time with Amy. When Amy gently asked if something was wrong, Zoe just shrugged and said she was fine. She would often claim she was busy or pretend not to see Amy in the hallway. Amy noticed Zoe’s distant behavior and felt confused. She wondered if she had done something wrong or if Zoe was upset about the talent show results.
One afternoon, their choir teacher praised Amy’s practice in front of Zoe. Zoe forced a small smile, but Amy could tell something was not right. She missed laughing with her best friend. Amy knew their friendship was too important to lose, but she wasn’t sure how to make things better. That night, Amy called her mum. “I think I’ve lost Zoe,” she whispered. Mum listened quietly, then said, “A true friendship is stronger than any lead singer. Ask Zoe to talk—just the two of you, heart to heart.”

1.续写词数应为150个左右；

The scientists needed to get the samples off the Saguenay Fjord’s ground, and considering that the Saguenay is 200 metres deep, that’s quite a great achievement. From the boat, the scientists used a special tool to get samples.
After they were pulled from the fjord’s bottom, the samples were transported to a special place in Chicoutimi, Que. for study and experiment. They put a special sand on top of the mud in order to track the digging movements of the animals, some of which were too small to spot with the naked eye. What appeared from the mud was a small world, being full of life.
While the animals were small, the scientists found that they can help keep the seafloor healthy and finally support the whole sea ecosystem. The way that the small animals move the sediment (沉淀物) changes the entire structure of the ecosystem.
These small animals also help store carbon in the seafloor by eating or catching the matter that falls from above — a role that the scientists say could be important to slow down the influence of global warming. The scientists described the floor of seas as “one of the largest carbon stores on Earth”, holding more carbon than the rainforests.
8. Where do the small animals mentioned in the text mainly live?
A. On the surface of the sea. B. Along the banks of the Saguenay Fjord.
C. In the mud of the seafloor. D. In the open water above the Saguenay Fjord.
9. What is paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. The design of the sampling tool. B. The difficulties of collecting samples.
C. The depth of the Saguenay Fjord. D. The achievements of the research team.
10. Which one best describes small animals’ role in sea ecosystems?
A. Mud builders. B. Small soldiers.
C. Sea cleaners. D. Tiny protectors.
11. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. Scientists can now put an end to climate change.
B. More carbon in the sea is quickly lost into the air.
C. The seabed keeps less carbon than the rainforests.
D. Climate change may be worse without these animals.

A new study found that volunteer dog-handler teams — made up of everyday people and their pets — can find and recognize the hard-to-find eggs of the spotted lanternfly (斑衣蜡蝉), an insect (昆虫) that’s being bad for farms and forests across the eastern and central US.
The spotted lanternfly was first found in Pennsylvania in 2014. Since then, it’s spread quickly to 18 states, laying its eggs on trees, stones, and even cars, where it can get a ride to a new home. “They often look like the outer covering of mud, dry leaves, cracks, or other things’ undersides,” said Mizuho Nita, a plant specialist. “Finding them is like searching for a needle in the ocean.”
With a sense of smell that’s tens of thousands of times more sensitive than humans, dogs can be trained to find spotted lanternfly eggs. Research showed that professional dogs can do this with accurate information. But professional dogs are expensive, and there aren’t nearly enough of them to cover the growing danger. So the researchers advised the tens of thousands of dog owners already doing scent detection (气味探测) as a hobby to find hidden scents for fun in homes, parks, and training classes. And over 1,000 dog owners took part in the study.
The results? Dogs correctly identified the spotted lanternfly eggs 82 percent of the time in the controlled tests. In the real-world fields, accuracy dropped to 61 percent — still better than many human searches. “Anytime you can practise with your dog, which is good for them,” said Wellborn, one of the researchers. “Dog owners obviously enjoy it. And it’s a way they can take dog skills and training to help their community.”
Finding the spotted lanternfly eggs may be just the beginning. Another study found that trained pet dogs could also detect powdery mildew, a major disease of grapes, with over 90 percent accuracy. Together, these studies point to a growing role for dogs and their owners in safeguarding agriculture.
12. Why is it difficult to find the spotted lanternfly eggs?
A. They are micro-dust size. B. They can change their own color every day.
C. They are laid underground. D. They can make themselves look like others.
13. What is the challenge of using professional dogs to do scent detection?
A. The influence. B. The safety. C. The cost. D. The skill.
14. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 4 refer to?
A. The dogs’ happiness. B. The dogs’ egg-hunt task.
C. The dogs’ adventure. D. The dogs’ hunting ability.
15 What is the author’s attitude toward using dogs in agriculture?
A. Positive. B. Doubtful. C. Disappointed. D. Unclear.
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. B 15. A

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。
Amy and Zoe had been best friends since primary school. They did almost everything together and trusted each other completely. However, that changed when their high school announced auditions (试演) for the spring talent show. Both girls loved singing and dreamed of being the lead singer.
Amy and Zoe practised together for the audition in the park every day after school. They worked hard and encouraged each other. On the day of auditions, Zoe performed confidently and believed she would be chosen. Amy, on the other hand, felt nervous but sang her heart out. A few days later, the results were posted on the school noticeboard. Amy was selected as the lead singer, and Zoe was chosen as a chorus (合唱团) member.
Zoe congratulated Amy with a smile, but inside she felt a sense of jealousy (嫉妒) and disappointment. Over the next week, Zoe became quiet and avoided spending time with Amy. When Amy gently asked if something was wrong, Zoe just shrugged and said she was fine. She would often claim she was busy or pretend not to see Amy in the hallway. Amy noticed Zoe’s distant behavior and felt confused. She wondered if she had done something wrong or if Zoe was upset about the talent show results.
One afternoon, their choir teacher praised Amy’s practice in front of Zoe. Zoe forced a small smile, but Amy could tell something was not right. She missed laughing with her best friend. Amy knew their friendship was too important to lose, but she wasn’t sure how to make things better. That night, Amy called her mum. “I think I’ve lost Zoe,” she whispered. Mum listened quietly, then said, “A true friendship is stronger than any lead singer. Ask Zoe to talk—just the two of you, heart to heart.”

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 The next morning, Amy waited by Zoe’s locker. As Zoe approached, Amy stepped forward, her heart pounding but her voice steady. “Zoe, can we talk? Just the two of us, like old times?” she asked, her eyes reflecting genuine concern. Zoe hesitated for a moment, then nodded silently, following Amy to a quiet corner of the hallway. There, Amy took a deep breath and began, “I know you’re upset about the talent show, and I’m sorry if I’ve hurt you. But our friendship means more to me than any lead role. I want us to be close again, like we used to be.”
Zoe’s eyes were filled with tears. She looked at Amy, her voice choked with emotion. “I’m sorry, Amy. I’ve been so jealous and petty. It’s just that I’ve always dreamed of being the lead singer, and when you got it, I felt...lost. But I know I shouldn’t have let it ruin our friendship. You’re my best friend, and I don’t want to lose you.” Amy reached out and hugged Zoe tightly. “We’ll get through this together,” she whispered. “And who knows? Maybe next time, we can both be leads, or better yet, write our own songs and perform together.” Zoe smiled through her tears, feeling the warmth of their friendship returning.
