It is the largest subtropical wilderness (亚热带的荒地) in the entire country and accounts for 25% of the wetlands in the state. The park is home to several rare and endangered species. It is also the third largest national park in the lower forty-eight states, after Death Valley and Yellowstone. Each year, approximately one million tourists visit the park. On a global level, it has been declared a World Heritage Site.Unlike most other national parks, Everglades National Park was created to protect an ecosystem from damage. In 1947, President Harry Truman spoke at the official opening of Everglades National Park, saying the goal of creating the park was to protect forever a wild area that could never be replaced.10,000 different islands make up Everglades National Park. Each of these islands is occupied by natural wildlife. The human population primarily includes wildlife administrators. The Everglades is home to about 15 species that are threatened and endangered, including the Florida panther, the American crocodile (鳄鱼) and the West Indian manatee. In addition, more than 350 bird species and 300 species of fresh and saltwater fish live within the park. The Everglades is also home to 40 species of mammals and 50 reptile species.There are many ways to explore the Everglades. Visitors can see alligators (短吻鳄) while hiking the Anhinga Trail. The Everglades is one of the only places on Earth where freshwater alligators and saltwater crocodiles live in the same area. Visitors using airboats are likely to see large groups of wading birds (涉水鸟) like the wood stork or the great blue heron. It is even possible to see flamingos in the Everglades. Some visitors might enjoy riding bicycles through Shark V alley. Others may want to move slowly through shallow waters where they can see insects and wildlife up close.According to experts, changes to the Everglades are threatening several different kinds of wildlife. They say the threats are a result of actions the US government began more than 50 years ago, and settlers began even earlier.1．From the first paragraph, we know Everglades National Park ________.A．is of great valueB．enjoys tropical weatherC．receives few visitors every yearD．is the largest wilderness in the world.2．Paragraph 3 is mainly about Everglades National Park's ________.A．rich wildlife B．different islandsC．human population D．endangered species3．We learn from Paragraph 4 that ________.A．the wood stork doesn't like waterB．visitors can't use bikes in the EvergladesC．it's tough work to hike the Anhinga TrailD．flamingos aren't a common sight in the Everglades4．What do we know from the text?A．No people live in Everglades National Park.B．Alligators and crocodiles get on well in the Everglades.C．The West Indian manatee has died out in the Everglades.D．A President suggested creating Everglades National Park.5．What will probably be further discussed following the last paragraph?A．What can be done to help save the wetlands.B．What the government has done to protect the park.C．How important endangered wildlife is to the world.D．The damage to Everglades National Park's environment.Ⅲ.阅读表达[1]I was recently lucky enough to attend the Calgary Stampede, one of Canada's most impressive festivals. I love the Wild West, so I was in heaven during the ten-day event, which takes place every July to honor the native American Indians and the cowboys of the Old West.[2]Final preparations for the festival started days before the Stampede began. In order to make the modern city of Calgary look like a town from the Old West, the streets were lined with old-fashioned wooden fences, as they are on a Hollywood film set. People were also hard at work building fantastic, brightly-coloured floats for the parade, while marching bands kept practicing their lively music. The most extraordinary thing, though, was all delicious food which talented chefs prepared for Calgary's hundreds of thousands of visitors.[3]During the Stampede everyone had a great time. Calgary's streets were filled with happy, noisy crowds dressed in jeans and Western boots. Fearless cowboys rode wild horses and bulls in the rodeo events (骑术表演), native Americans performed traditional dances, and spectacular firework displays lit up the sky every night. It was like being at an enormous, non-stop party.[4] I'll never forget my ________ the Calgary Stampede. It was the most exciting experience of my life — no wonder they call it “the greatest outdoor show on Earth”！1．What is the passage mainly about?

The government had set up a reservation for them in Idaho. Chief Joseph did not want to leave the land. It was holy ground. It contained the bones of his fatherand mother.But, like his father in earlier times, Chief Joseph knew it would be hopeless to stay and defend the land. There were too few Indians to win a war against the white men.And so in June of eighteen seventy-seven, the Nez Perce left their home in the Wallowa Valley. They left quickly. They were able to take only a small part of what they owned, and just a few cattle and Appaloosa horses.When the Indians reached the Snake River, the water was very deep and ran very fast with melted snow from the mountains. Chief Joseph and his people made boats from sticks and dried animal skins to cross the river. While the Indians were busy, a group of white men came and stole some of the cattle waiting at the edge of the river.The other chiefs demanded that Joseph call a meeting. Two of the chiefs, White Bird and Toohoolhoolzote, spoke for War, but Joseph held different opinion.Some of the young men in White Bird's group were very angry. That night, they rode into the countryside and killed eleven white persons.During all his years as chief, Joseph had tried to keep the peace. Now he saw there was no hope. Although he and his young men had taken no part in the killings, he knew that the white men would blame all of the Indians. Chief Joseph said, “I would have given my own life if I could have undone the killing of the white men.”Many Nez Perce fled. Chief Joseph remained, because his wife was about to have a baby. After she gave birth, he and his family joined the others in White Bird Canyon to the south.Joseph wanted to lead the people to safety in the flat lands of Montana. But the United States army quickly sent horse soldiers to follow them.They were extremely tired when they reached White Bird Canyon. An Indian — carrying a white flag — walked forward to meet them. A soldier shot him.With that shot, war between the Nez Perce and the United States began.1．Why didn't Chief Joseph want to leave the land?A．He thought the reservation in Idaho wasn't satisfying.B．He didn't want to be separated from his parents.C．He had special feeling for the land where he was living.D．He didn't want to live with the white men.2．Which of the following is TRUE?A．Before they left their home, the Nez Perce had only a few cattle and Appaloosa horses. B．Chief Joseph and his people were unwilling to cross the deep river.C．When the Indians reached the Snake River, it was very hard for them to cross it.D．While the Indians were waiting by the river, a group of white men stole some of the cattle. 3．From the passage we can infer that ________.A．Chief Joseph knew it would be hopeless to defend the landB．white men often killed some IndiansC．Chief Joseph was afraid of white menD．conflicts often happened between the Indians and the white4．After some of the young men in White Bird's group killed eleven white persons, ________.

As it nears its second century, the National Park Service plans to increase its educational programs for students and teachers.The plan includes transportation support for one hundred thousand students each year to visit national parks to learn about nature and history. Yellowstone is believed to have been theworld's first national park when it was established in 1872. Other students will get a chance to see parks in faraway places through Skype and other online programs.The National Park Service also works with partners to provide education. One of its partners is a non-profit organization called NatureBridge. NatureBridge is celebrating its fortieth anniversary and says one million young people have taken part in its programs. The organization works with students from kindergarten to twelfth grade and uses national parks as its classrooms. It provides field science programs at Yosemite National Park and four other locations in California and the northwestern state of Washington.Now, NatureBridge is launching an East Coast center with a four-million-dollar grant from Google. The program will begin in April at the Prince William Forest Park in Virginia. Students stay for three to five days in NatureBridge programs. The activities are aimed at developing their science skills. For example, they learn about different soils and study water quality under a microscope. Jason Morris, executive vice president of NatureBridge, says when they are not sleeping, eating or in a laboratory, the students spend their time outdoors.Julia Washburn is associate director of education and interpretation for the National Park Service. She says in a time of budget cuts, the agency has to find ways to still meet its goals. And one of the most important services that the National Park Service provides every day is nature interpretation.1．The text is intended to tell us that ________.A．the National Park Service will celebrate its 100th anniversaryB．more educational programs will be started in national parksC．NatureBridge plans to work with the National Park ServiceD．students are encouraged to learn about nature and history2．Which of the following is TRUE of the National Park Service?A．It plans to make NatureBridge its branch.B．It provides programs for college students.C．It was established earlier than Yellowstone.D．It offered some educational programs before.3．According to the text, NatureBridge ________.A．finances all the programs aloneB．is aimed at laboratory activitiesC．has benefited quite a lot of studentsD．provides online field science programs4．What will be further talked about after the last paragraph?A．Ways to raise money.B．Budget cuts.C．Nature interpretation.D．Better services.5．You can probably read this text in the section of ________.A．Travel B．EducationC．Entertainment D．HealthⅢ.阅读表达(2013·江西师大附中高三月考)[1] One of the simple pleasures of a lazy summer day is to be able to enjoy a refreshing slice of watermelon either at the beach, at a picnic, or fresh from the farmer's market. Delicious and nutritious, watermelon is one of those guilt-free goods we can all enjoy: one cup of watermelon packs only about 50 calories! Watermelons are not only cooling treats when it is getting hot; they are also loaded with healthy nutrients such as vitamin A, vitamin C, lycopene (番茄红素), and etc. Vitamins A and C and lycopene are antioxidants, which are substances that work to help get rid of the harmful effects of substances.[2]Research has suggested that a diet high in fruits and vegetables that have plenty of antioxidants can reduce the risk of heart disease, some cancers and some other dangerous diseases.A cup of watermelon provides 25% of the recommended daily value of vitamin C and 6% of the recommended daily value of vitamin A. Additionally, researchers have found that lycopene, a nutrient most traditionally associated with tomatoes, is found in equal or greater quantities in watermelon.[3]Watermelons also provide significant amounts of vitamin B6 and vitamin B1, both of which are necessary for energy production. In combination with the minerals and vitamins already described, these B vitamins ________ the high nutrient richness of watermelon. Due to its high water content (watermelon is 92% water by weight) and low calorie count, watermelon is a good choice to satisfy your hunger while you try to eat a healthy diet. Think of them as nature's answer to the heavily marketed “vitamin water” craze.[4] Besides the textured, watery fresh of the fruit, watermelon seeds are also widely eaten asa snack. They are rich in iron and protein and are often pressed for oil or roasted and seasoned.[5] So if you are planning on dining outdoor this summer, or simply looking for a quick and convenient refreshment to serve to unexpected company or reckless children, reach for watermelon. The kids will enjoy its crisp taste and messy juices, the adults will enjoy its refreshing flavors, and everyone will benefit from its nutritious value.1．What is the best title of the passage？(no more than 5 words)________________________________________________________________________ 2．Complete the following statement with proper words.(no more than 5words)We don't feel guilty even if we eat more watermelon because ________________________________________.3．What is the function of antioxidants？(no more than 10 words)________________________________________________________________________ 4．Fill in the blank in Paragraph 3 with proper words.(no more than 2 words)________________________________________________________________________ 5．What does the word “them” in Paragraph 3 refer to？(no more than 2 words)________________________________________________________________________答案课时跟踪检测(二十二)Ⅰ.1.选D考查交际用语。

If so, what does it say about the area and the people who live there?Many cities are recognised across the world by their unofficial titles. New York is the Big Apple, London is the Big Smoke, and Los Angeles is famously called La La Land (used to mean that the people who live there are slightly crazy)．Now Britain's national mapping agency, Ordnance Survey, and the British linguistics charity (语言学慈善机构), the English Project, are launching a project to uncover the nicknames people use for local places.The project, which got started last week to coincide with English Language Day, is called Location Lingo. It aims to identify the names people use every day, whether it's a term of endearment (昵称) or a hate name.The University of Winchester's Professor Bill Lucas is a supporter of the English Project. He explains that unofficial place names often show what people think about a place. “The name that people create for a place forms an emotional connection，”he s ays. “So Basingstoke becomes Amazingstoke, Swindon is known as Swindump and Padstow, hometown of chef Rick Stein, is nicknamed Padstein.”Basingstoke is a town in central England. The local nickname. Amazingstoke, shows the affection that locals seem to have for the area.Swindon, on the other hand, is sometimes called Swindump, showing that some people think it's a dump (垃圾场). Stanford Le Hope in Essex is called Stanford No Hope by locals.

It fits for campus and the golf course，”He Daijie, the leader of the invention team and a senior at the college, told the Global Times. “Or if one prefers it can be turned into an electric moped，”he said.Seeing the light[3] 4 students at Shenyang University of Technology in Liaoning Province invented a door light powered by electric energy produced by opening and closing a door.[4] When people open or close a door, the door produces mechanical energy that could be turned into electric energy. After numerous tests for several months, the students fixed a joint lever (连接杆) above the door that connects the door and a speeding gear case to drive a generator attached to the door and send energy to storage cells. The storage cells provide ________ for the light.Invisibility cloak[5] Many people daydream of an invisibility cloak like Harry Potter's and 3 graduate students inoptics (光学) from Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics (航空航天) have actually invented one. Special ferroelectric (铁电半导体) materials on the cloak, reduce the scattering of light of an object wrapped with the cloak, and thus making the object “invisible”，according to Li Peining, one of the three students.

Handwriting, also known as brain writing, is as individual to the person as fingerprints. Occupations, relationships, personal problems as well as health-related issues can be identified in a person's writing. Analyzing handwriting goes back to the 1600s and originated in Europe. Is handwriting analysis scientific?OK, you ask, so what traits can be found while analyzing handwriting? Many traits can beshown provided the writing is in cursive (草书的), because printing hassome limitations. Cursive provides the analyst with the upstrokes (向上的一笔) in writing which are very important. Many personality traitsincluding being outgoing, temper, anger towards the opposite sex, generosity and hundreds more can be found when analyzing handwriting.Handwriting is very interesting because not only can you change your personality and watch your writing change as well, but also the reverse is true! Sometimes there are personality traits thatwe wish we did not have, but we don't know how to get rid of them. One way to change your personality is to use handwriting therapy. The person learns how to change their writing to rid themselves of unwanted traits, and practices this under the watchful eye of a trained graphologist (笔迹学家)．Handwriting analysis is becoming a recognized part of therapy. Analyzing handwriting has many different aspects. For instance, it is used in the court of law when dealing with fake documents. Companies are beginning to hire handwriting analysts to assist them in finding the right person for the right job. This is because handwriting analysis is a science —it is not guesswork. It is used as a tool to determine the compatibility (适应性) of an individual to the requirements of a job as well as the compatibility of one individual to another.All in all, handwriting analysis is scientific and has endless possibilities. Next time you see someone's signature or handwriting, you now know that this person's personality is right out there in front of you, just waiting to be discovered!1．Which of the following is NOT associated with handwriting according to the first paragraph?A．fingerprints B．occupationsC．relationships D．personal problems2．Why do people want to make handwriting analysis?A．Because analyzing handwriting goes back to the 1600s.B．Because analyzing handwriting originated in Europe.C．Because many personality traits can be found in handwriting.D．Because printing has some limitations.3．What is the main idea of Paragraph 3?A．Handwriting is very interesting.B．Handwriting therapy can help change your personality.C．Your personality can change your handwriting.D．Your handwriting is hard to change.4．Companies hire handwriting analysts ________.A．to beautify the employees' signatureB．to deal with fake documentsC．to decide the requirements of a jobD．to help find the right employee5．We can infer from the last paragraph that ________.A．there are still many waiting to be discovered in handwritingB．discovering a person's personality is difficultC．handwriting analysis makes no senseD．different person has different handwriting答案课时跟踪检测(二十四)Ⅰ.1.选D根据句意，父亲同意了儿子将要去俱乐部见足球队的朋友，所以在这里是父亲祝儿子玩得开心，答案选D。

No state now has made laws to ban such activity, but theBoard said that drivers faced serious risks from talking on wireless headsets,just as they do by taking a hand off the wheel to hold a phone to their ears.However, the concern was heightened by increasingly powerful phones that people can use to send e-mails, watch movies and play games.“Every year, new devices are being on sale.”Ms. Hersman said. “People are attracted to update their Facebook pages, to play music with cellphones, as if sitting at a desk. But they are driving a car.”The agency based its recommendation on evidence from its investigation of numerous crashes in which electronic distraction was a major contributing factor.Ms. Hersman said she understood that this recommendation would be unwelcome in some circles, given the number of drivers who talk and text. But she compared distracted driving to drunken driving and even smoking, which required wholesale cultural shifts to change behavior.“It's going to be very unpopular with some people.”she said. “We're not here to win a popularity contest. We're here to do the right thing. This is a difficult recommendation, but it's the right recommendation and it is time.”The agency's recommendation is not required for states to adopt such a ban. And it won't likely be agreed upon by state lawmakers who are unwillingly to anger those who have grown accustomed to using their device behind the wheel.The ban also deserves attention because it is the first call by a federal agency to end the practice completely, rather than the partial ban that some lawmakers have put in place by allowing handsfree talking.1．The ban on all cellphone use by drivers was put forward ________.A．after a long discussion and recommendationB．after about ten years' investigation in itC．because of the most powerful mobile devicesD．for the reason of heading away from the road2．From the second paragraph we know that now ________.A．it is legal to use wireless headsets while drivingB．wireless headsets are illegal in some statesC．it is safe to talk on wireless headsets while drivingD．handsfree devices can be used in some states3．We can know from the passage that ________.A．electronic distraction resulted in numerous crashesB．numerous crashes were caused by drunken drivingC．electronic distraction contributed much to the banD．the recommendation was based on electronic distraction4．Ms. Hersman thinks that distracted driving, drunken driving and smoking ________.A．are just common behaviorsB．can be shifted to behaviorsC．are behaviors to be changedD．are just cultural behaviors5．Which of the following is the best title of the passage?A．Cellphone Ban in CarsB．Valuable Ban for CellphonesC．Drivers Ban CellphonesD．Cellphone Ban while Driving答案课时跟踪检测(十九)Ⅰ.1.选C第一个空no such thing ...as为固定搭配，no相当于not a/any; the Great Wall“长城”为普通名词构成的专有名词，要加定冠词。

Since 1947, she's worked at the Crazy Horse monument to Native Americans in the Black Hills of South Dakota, where she's leading the effort to literally move a mountain.Declared as the world's largest sculpture, Crazy Horse is only a 20-mile drive from better-known Mount Rushmore, where faces of Presidents George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Thomas Jefferson and Theodore Roosevelt are carved into granite (花岗岩). A few moremiles down the road is Pine Ridge reservation, a mostly poor land.Pine Ridge is where many Sioux Indians were put after they were caught by the U．S. Army and lost their traditional lands. Unhappy that a monument to white leaders was carved into mountains the Sioux considered sacred (神圣的), Lakota Sioux elder Chief Henry Standing Bear invited Korczak Ziolkowski to Pine Ridge, who won the New York World's Fair sculpture prize in 1939. They decided to carve a rival (与之匹敌的) monument to Native Americans featuring Crazy Horse, a Sioux fighter who helped lead the Indians to one of the most famous Indian victories over the U．S. Army in 1876.Korczak Ziolkowski began working on the granite mountain along with volunteers including young Ruth Ross from Connecticut. Ruth and Korczak were married in 1950. Many people thought Korczak's plan was indeed crazy. Stubbornly independent, Korczak accepted only private donations. He designed a monument much larger than Mount Rushmore, with the fighter on horseback.Some Native Americans opposed the project. They said Henry Standing Bear had no authority to invite Korczak to carve the monument, and that it was desecrating (亵渎) the Black Hills. Korczak worked on the mountain for years and died in 1982, 16 years before the giant face of Crazy Horse was completed in 1998.The project has expanded, with a visitor center including a museum, restaurant and gift shop, and many other events. About a million people come to Crazy Horse every year.1．Henry Standing Bear decided to carve Crazy Horse to________.A．attract tourists to pay a visit to itB．compete against the sculptures in Mount RushmoreC．promote the development of the poor land Pine RidgeD．celebrate the Indian victory over the U．S.
