Denali National Park, Alaska History Within Denali National Park, the Toklat River will always have a special significance, as it was the location where naturalist Charles Sheldon built a cabin and was so moved that he fought to preserve the land. He moved back east and spent nine years lobbying (游说）to create Alaska’s first national park. When to Visit To avoid the crowds, visit in June, but keep in mind that there are up to 21 hours of sunlight in Alaska in summer. If it seems like a bit much for your taste, try visiting in late August or September. If you visit to climb Mount McKinley, May and early June are the best times to climb. Major Attractions It is difficult not to see Denali’s largest attraction towering 20,320 feet high. Mount McKinley can even be seen up to 70 miles away on a clear day. If you brave the climb to the top, you will be rewarded with charming views of the Alaska Range. Sable Pass is a prime spot to view grizzly bears. Closed to off-road foot traffic, the area is popular for bears feeding on berries, roots, and even occasionally on other mammals. Beginning at just below the summit of Mount McKinley, Muldrow Glacier flows 35 miles through a gorge and across the tundra. Twice in the last hundred years, the Muldrow has surged (涌动）, most recently in the winter of 1956-1957. Accommodation Five campgrounds are located within the park, and many are open from late spring to early fall.Note: reservations are strongly recommended during summer. Riley Creek campground is open all year round, and all but two (Sanctuary and Wonder Lake) offer RV (可供居住的大篷车）sites. Also within the park are a few lodges (旅馆）?North Face Lodge, Denali Backcountry Lodge and Kentishna Roadhouse. 【小题1】Charles Sheladon spent nine years lobbying to create Alaska’s first national park in order to_____. A. provide a place for people to enjoy nature B. obtain some benefits C. make good use of the land D. protect the natural landscape 【小题2】What can you see in the park, according to the passage? ①Mount McKinley ②bears ③various mammals ④Sable Pass ⑤Toklat River ⑥Muldrow Glacier A. ①②③④⑤⑥ B. ①②④⑤⑥ C. ①②③⑤⑥ D. ①②③④⑥ 【小题3】Which of the following offers RV sites?

Chinese colleges have come up with an unusual way to help freshmen settle in. They turn their gyms into campsites for moms and dads, some of whom have traveled thousands of miles across the country, to say goodbye. For the past five years, Tianjin University in northern China has provided free accommodation for parents in what it calls "tents of love". Other schools let parents sleep on mats in school gymnasiums. "Going to college is a life moment and my parents didn’t want to miss that," said Zhang Jinqi, a freshman at Tianjin University majoring in applied chemistry. His parents traveled with him on the 19-hour train journey from Jiangxi Province in southern China. Images of school gyms packed with parents have been widely shared on Chinese social media prompting a debate on whether China’s only children are too coddled. Some have voiced criticism of Tianjin University, saying that they think both the parents and the children should be more independent. Xiong Bingqi, the deputy director of think-tank 21st Century Education Research Institute，thinks the problem is overstated. "It has always been a problem in China that at the start of every school year, colleges are packed with parents who come along to drop off their children and stay with them," he said. "For some families, it’s their way to celebrate the first-ever family member who’s able to go to college," Xiong added. "There’s nothing wrong with sharing the happiness." Zhang’s father said the decision to escort their son was a no-brainer. He and his wife are among the many "campers" who sleep in the 550 temporary tents set up in the Tianjin University gym. "My child has lots of luggage and we also want to go traveling," said his father Zhang Yonghui. "The hotels nearby are fully booked so I have to sleep in the tents." Their son also shrugged off the criticism although he said he was looking forward to living on his own for the first time. "Being accompanied by my parents doesn’t mean I’m spoiled." 【小题1】Zhang Jinqi thought his parents accompanied him to his university mainly because _____. A. they wanted to help him with his luggage B. they wanted to go to travel in Tianjin C. they doubted his independence D. they wanted to witness his important life moment 【小题2】Xiong Bingqi thinks going to college with parents’ company ______. A. is a chance for freshmen to travel with their parents B. is not such a serious problem as people think C. is a long-lasting problem to be solved D. is not good for the freshmen to build up their independence 【小题3】The underlined phrase “shrugged off” probably means_________. A. was in favor of B. was ashamed of C. thought nothing of D. was concerned about 【小题4】What’s the main idea of the passage? A. “Tents of love” is widely criticized. B. Chinese only children are too spoiled. C. Chinese college education is faced with a big challenge. D. There are different opinions on “tents of love”. |

When I was in the fourth grade, I worked part-time as a paperboy. Mrs. Stanley was one of my customers. She'd watch me coming down her street, and by the time I'd biked up to her doorstep, there would be a cold drink waiting. I'd sit and drink while she talked. Mrs.Stanley talked mostly about her dead husband, "Mr. Stanley and I went shopping this morning." she'd say. The first time she said that, soda (汽水) went up my nose. I told my father how Mrs. Stanley talked as if Mr. Stanley were still alive. Dad said she was probably lonely, and that I ought to sit and listen and nod my head and smile, and maybe she'd work it out of her system. So that's what I did, and it turned out Dad was right. After a while she seemed content to leave her husband over at the cemetery (墓地). I finally quit delivering newspapers and didn't see Mrs. Stanley for several years. Then we crossed paths at a church fund-raiser(募捐活动). She was spooning mashed potatoes and looking happy. Four years before, she'd had to offer her paperboy a drink to have someone to talk with. Now she had friends. Her husband was gone, but life went on. I live in the city now, and my paperboy is a lady named Edna with three kids. She asks me how I'm doing. When I don't say "fine", she sticks around to hear my problems. She's lived in the city most of her life, but she knows about community. Community isn't so much a place as it is a state of mind. You find it whenever people ask how you're doing because they care, and not because they're getting paid to do so. Sometimes it's good to just smile, nod your head and listen. 【小题1】Why did soda go up the author's nose one time? A. He was talking fast. B. He was absent-minded. C. He was in a hurry. D. He was shocked. 【小题2】Why did the author sit and listen to Mrs. Stanley according to Paragraph 3? A. He took the chance to rest. B. He wanted to be helpful. C. He enjoyed the drink. D. He tried to please his dad. 【小题3】Which of the following can replace the underlined phrase "work it out of her system"? A. speak out about her past B. move out of the neighborhood C. turn to her old friends D. recover from her sadness 【小题4】What does the author think people in a community should do? A. Care about one another. B. Depend on each other. C. Pay for others’ help D. Open up to others. |

We all know the feeling: looking at the computer screen, pretending to be interested in our homework, even though we really feel bored. But such feelings may soon be at an end, says Dr. Harry Witchel, head of the Essex Medical School. He believes that computers of the future will notice when people feel bored and even take action to stop it. Before you get concerned, the machine won’t be reading your mind. It will be observing the many movements you make while using a computer. It’s not interested in the big movements needed to use the machine ? like moving a mouse or touching a screen ? but small, barely noticeable movements like closing your eyes, moving in your seat or rubbing your face. Witchel calls these “boredom movements" and says they show how interested the person is in what they are reading or watching. The higher the interest level, the less movement! To test his theory, Witchel invited 27 people to perform various computer-based tasks. The activities ranged from playing online games (an interesting task) to reading documents like government laws that most people would find boring. A special video camera followed the participants’ movements as they completed each task. Just as the researcher expected, the “boredom movements" greatly decreased, by as much as 42%，when the subjects were very interested in what they were reading or seeing. Fortunately, Dr Witchel isn’t planning to use his results to create machines that report students who are not paying attention at school. Instead, he wants “movement sensing” technology to be built into future computers in order to improve students' computer-based learning experience. The scientist says that by measuring the students' interest level as they work, educators will be able to adjust their materials in real-time to keep students focused. Witchel also believes that the technology can provide filmmakers with honest audience opinions and in the future, help to develop more intelligent robots. 【小题1】What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 1 refer to? A. Homework. B. A computer. C. Boredom. D. The future. 【小题2】Why did Dr Witchel carry out his research? A. To discover how bored people move. B. To find out what makes people bored. C. To see if interested people are more active. D. To test the link between boredom and movement. 【小题3】Which movement would Witchel's technology most likely pay attention to? A. Turning off the machine. B. Typing words on a keyboard. C. Surfing quickly between web-pages. D. Moving one’s head from side to side. 【小题4】How will the new technology help education, according to Witchel? A. By reducing teachers' workload. B. By maintaining students' learning interest. C. By reporting students' misbehavior in class. D. By making learning more like a computer game. |

Now at the end of my college journey, I know that there are still more things I could have done to make my high school experience more beneficial. 【小题1】 Take a class that scares you during high school. The experience will definitely prepare you for future academic challenges. Don’t worry about your grades too much. Getting a B is not the end of the world. 【小题2】 I started college with all A’s since seventh grade, and it was hard to deal with not being able to repeat that. I stayed away from taking some harder courses I might have done well in because I was afraid of doing poorly. Now, I can fully accept that if I try my best in at least one harder class and get a B+, that is still something to be proud of. Find your own de-stressing routine. Another essential skill to begin building in high school is how to manage work and stress. Maybe you deal with stress by going for a run, or watching a silly movie. Talk with a friend for a while or play with your dog. 【小题3】 Spend your summers wisely. Don't take on a full-time job the first summer you decide to work. 【小题4】 Do find something to do that will make the ten weeks worthwhile. Look for programs that take you to interesting places, or a job that will give you insight into something you might be interested in. Finally, remember to have fun. Your life does not depend on high school. 【小题5】 You will have plenty of time to work hard in college and beyond. Be prepared, but don’t stress out too much about it.

Take full advantage of your brain. C. You do have to be active about making friends. D. Do your best, but leave time for fun with friends. E.
