Here are some islands for visitors to enjoy their charms in the National Park System.Isle Royale National Park, MichiganAs the largest island in Lake Superior, Isle Royale provides commercial accommodation, developed campgrounds, and undamaged wilderness. Travelers can hike through forest, boat along rocky shores, or camp beside beautiful lakes. Various boat services and ranger-guided trips give travelers the chance to explore the park.Channel Islands National Park, CaliforniaThose people who do make the boat trip can explore five major island groups that are home to globally significant biodiversity. From rare birds to blue whales, the world’s largest animal, Channel Islands is a wildlife film. Even a brief visit will bring sightings of seals, sea lions, sea otters, whales, and the largest colonies of seabirds in southern California.Acadia National Park, MaineIsle au Haut is a small island in Acadia National Park. The island can be reached by a mailboat from the little town of Stonington, a circumstance that limits the number of visitors. Much of the island can be seen on a day trip, exploring paths that wind through woodlands and the grass and along rocky shores. Sleeping on Isle au Haut makes it possible to enjoy sunrises and sunsets on the island.Biscayne National Park, FloridaTravelers can take a commercial tour boat to see Elliott Key, a park site with camping, swimming, and a hiking trail (路线).

In many regions of the country, it can take hours to get to the nearest hospital. Boateng said many people lost their lives due to preventable or treatable diseases. His grandmother and aunt were among them.Feeling an urgent ca ll to help, Boateng decided he would make it his life’s mission to bring health care to remote communities in Ghana where education and preventative health care were lacking.Boateng wanted to find a way to remove these barriers to health care access and education. He started his nonprofit organization, OKB Hope Foundation. In 2021, he converted (转变) a van (面包车) into a mobile doctor’s office and started bringing health care directly to those in need. A few times a week, the mobile clinic and medical team travel long distances to remote communities and provide free routine medical care.On each trip, Boateng’s team consists of a nurse, a physician assistant, a doctor, and an operation assistant. In the van, they can run basic labs like bloodwork and urinalysis (尿液分析) as well as provide medicine. “It’s like a one-stop shop for people, ” said Boateng, adding that most of the people they see have one health issue or another. Since its launch, the Hope Health Van has served more than 4,000 Ghanaians across more than 45 rural communities who otherwise don’t have easily accessible medical care, according to Boateng.Boateng has gone all in on his OKB Hope Foundation, recently quitting his job to dedicate his time to bringing health care to his home country. But for him, the sacrifices (牺牲) are well worth. “Words cannot describe the feeling that you provide care for someone who otherwise wouldn’t be alive if your mobile health van wasn’t there.” He has big plans for the future. He hopes to expand them to provide more consistent and high-quality medical care not only to those living in remote areas of Ghana but those in other countries.4．What is the purpose of mentioning the example in paragraph 1?A. To show the importance of life.B. To describe how hard Boateng’s family lived.C. To point out what’s wrong with the hospital.D. To stress the seriousness of lacking health care.5．How does Boateng carry out his mission?A. He operates on patients in the van.B. He rents a doctor’s office wherever he goes.C. He provides medical care by charging some fees.D. He offers people health care using mobile clinic.6．What do we know about the Hope Health Van?A. It really works.B. It makes a profit.C. It serves the whole Ghana.D. It produces some good medicine.7．Which of the following best describe Boateng?A. Reliable and creative.B. Caring and ambitious.C. Considerate and humorous.D. Determined and demanding.Landscape architect Kotchakorn V oraakhom has designed a new green roof on the Rangsit Campus of Thammasat University, about 25 miles north of central Bangkok, Thailand. Her imaginative work challenges the common thinking that urbanization has a negative impact on the planet, whether flooding, excess (过度的) energy use, disrupted (扰乱) biodiversity or the heat island effect.The 236, 806-square-foot structure, which opened in December 2019, includes a flood water management system and Asia’s largest rooftop organic farm. It combines modern landscape architecture with traditional agricultural knowledge, creating a green and friendly environment.The green roof, containing an H-shaped landscape, looks like a futuristic hill with a brick building beneath it. The hill features a complex pattern of zigzagging terraces (之字形梯田) of planted beds, leading all the way down to the bottom. When rainwater hits the roof, it flows down the zigzags while being absorbed by the soil in the beds, The excess water is directed into four storage ponds — with a capacity of up to 3 million gallons. The process slows down the flow speed of rainwater runoff compared to a normal concrete rooftop. This keeps the area from flooding during heavy rains.The roof’s terraces are filled with organically grown crops, including a drought tolerant variety of rice, many local vegetables and herbs. The farm can supply the canteens on campus with a large amount of rice, herbs and vegetables a year. The food waste is composted (把……制成堆肥) to fertilize the farm, and water from the storage ponds is used to water plants, creating an entirely localized and circular system.The farm serves as an outdoor classroom and a source of local jobs, too. Farmers offer workshops on sustainable agriculture and nutrition as part of the university’s sustainability curriculum. “Students and community members are invited to participate in se asonal seeding, harvesting, and so on,” says V oraakhom. “The urban farm is training a new generation of organic farmers with real-world skills. It also promotes a sense of community.”8．What can we say about V oraakhom’s work?A. It’s short-lived.B. It’s c reative.C. It’s demanding.D. It’s time-consuming.9．Why is the rooftop designed to be zigzag?A. To store more water.B. To plant diverse vegetables.C. To slow the speed of water flow.D. To make it look more attractive than other buildings.10．What can be inferred about the farm from paragraph 4?A. It uses food as fertilizer.B. It benefits the environment.C. It improves students’ lifestyle.D. It produces vegetables and fruits.11．What does the author want to show by mentioning the outdoor classroom?A. Students can learn hands-on knowledge on the farm.B. Farmers working on the farm can become professors.C. The farm prevents government from offering people jobs.D. The farm harms the relationship between university and community.Plastic is everywhere in our modern world. Its toughness makes it an extremely useful material from household items to vehicle parts, but that same toughness makes it hard to break down for recycling or disposal (处理). However, Japanese scientists at the University of Tokyo have developed a new plastic material that can be broken down more easily and can self-heal and remember past shapes.Based on a kind of plastic called an epoxy resin vitrimer, which is brittle (脆性的), the new plastic boasts a huge range of advantages. Once scratched with a knife, it can completely patch itself up after being heated to 150 ℃ for just 60 seconds. When shaped into the shape of a crane, then flattened, it can fold itself back into the crane shape by being heated up. It does all of this much faster than others of its type.The new plastic can also break down easier. Even if it’s discarded (丢弃) into the environment, it still poses less of a, problem than other kinds of plastic, which the teamdemonstrated by placing it in seawater for 30 days. It biodegraded by 25% and released molecules (分子) that are essential food for marine life.The new plastic is more resistant to breaking. It can also repair itself, and can recover its original memorized shape. It even biodegrades safely in a marine environment, according to Shota Ando, a researcher of the study.The material can be used in a variety of applications, “Infrastructure materials for roads and bridges are often composed of epoxy resins mixed with compounds such as concrete and carbon,” said Ando. “By using the new plastic, these would be easier to maintain as they would be stronger and healable using heat. Unlike conventional epoxy resins, this new material is hard but stretchable, so it could also be expected to strongly bond materials of different hardness and stretch.”12．What is the author’s purpose in writing paragraph 1?A. To introduce the topic of the text.B. To show the disadvantages of plastic.C. To highlight the importance of plastic.D. To indicate his views on previous plastic.13．What do the underlined words “patch itself up” mean in paragraph 2?A. Change itself.B. Shape itself.C. Repair itself.D. Burn itself.14．What do we know about the new plastic?A. It is safe for animals in the ocean.B. It can provide nutrition for animals.C. It can change its shape when frozen.D. It is more brittle than previous plastic.15．What can be the best title for the text?A. Research Of New MoleculesB. An Interesting Scientific StudyC. The Widespread Application Of PlasticD. A New Environmentally Friendly Plastic二、七选五16．Reading books is one of the best ways to broaden your horizons, develop your new interests, and grow your minds.

Researchers.BWhen I was nine years old, I loved to go fishing with my dad. But the only thing that wasn ' t very fun about it was that he could catch many fish while I couldn ' t catch anything. I usuallygot pretty upset and kept asking him why. He always answered, “Son, if you want to catch a fish,you have to think like a fish ” , I remember being even more upset then because, "I' m not a fish!” I didn ' t know how to think like a fish. Besides, I reasoned, how could what I think influence what a fish does?As I got a little older I began to understand what my dad really meant. So, I read some books on fish. And I even joined the local fishing club and started attending the monthly meetings.I learned that a fish is a cold-blooded animal and therefore is very sensitive to water temperature. That is whyfish prefer shallow water to deep water because the former is warmer. Besides, wateris usually warmer in direct sunlight than in the shade. Yet, fish don ' t have any eyelids( 眼皮）and the sun hurts their eyes …The more I understood fish, the more I became effective at finding andcatching them.When I grew up and entered the business world, I remember hearing my first boss say, “ We all need to think like sales people. ” But it didn ’ t completely make sense. My dad never once said, “ If you want to catch a fish you need to think like a fisherman. ” What he said was, “ You needto think like a fish. ” Years later, with great efforts to promote lon g-term services to peoplemuch older and richer than me, I gradually learned what we all need is to think more like customers. It is not an easy job. I will show you how in the following chapters.4.Why was the author upset in fishing trips when he was nine?A. He could not catch a fish.B. His father was not patient with him.C. His father did not teach him fishing.D. He could not influence a fish as his father did.5.What did the author ’ s father really mean?A. To read about fish.B. To learn fishing by oneself.C. To understand what fish think.D. To study fishing in many ways.6.According to the author, fish are most likely to be found ____ .A. in deep water on sunny daysB. in deep water on cloudy daysC. in shallow water under sunlightD. in shallow water under waterside trees.7.After entering the business world, the author found ______ .A. it easy to think like a customerB. his father ’ s fishing advice inspiringC. his first boss ’ s sales ideas reasonableD. it difficult to sell services to poor peopleCIn 2006, Sal Khan launched “ Khan Academy” to provide YouTube teaching for his 12 -year-old cousin who needed help with maths. The online school now provides more than 580 million online lessons in over 36 languages. Last fall, Khan created a physical school in California.The Khan Lab School runs differently from traditional schools. There ’ s no homework or grades, and students —ranging from ages five to 12 —sha re the same classroom. “ It ’ s only 150 yearsthat we separated children by age in classrooms, ” said Khan. “ The idea is that you can learna lot from the students who are a little older than you and if you ’ re 12 years old you couldexercise a lot of leadersh ip being a teacher assistant for the younger students. ”The school also breaks up the students based on their “ independence level, ” rather than their age.“ Whatever independence level you ’ re on —whether in math, reading or writing —you’ re on your own tra ck, ” he explained.Another unique feature of the school is that it runs all day, all-year long. Khan said theproblem with the current school schedule is that they do not have enough learning time. “ Thegap between the U.S. and Shanghai test scores can be explained by time in the classroom, ” Khansaid. “ You have the summer learning loss, which is not only time that you ’ re not learning whenyou could be, but also you ’ re forgetting the things that you learned at the end of last year. ”Now Khan Lab School enters its second year. Khan said he hopes to use the reach of the KhanAcademy, which has more than 30 million users now, to send students and teachers in other schools information on how to create similar learning experiences in their classrooms.st fall, Sal Khan ______ .A. launched an online courseB. set up The Khan Lab SchoolC. helped his cousin with mathsD. started Khan Academy on the Internet9.Which is one of the features of the Khan Lab School?A. Kids are separated by ages.B. Kids are trained to be teachers.C. Younger kids learn from older ones.D. Older kids learn less than younger ones.10.What can be inferred from Paragraph Four?A.Students in America spend little time at school.B.American schools run all day, all-year long.C.Learning time is very important for test scores.D.Summer is the best time for learning.11.According to the last paragraph, Khan is going to _____ .A. share the school ’ s experienceB. attract more studentsC. create more similar schoolsD. hire more teachersDThe popular smartphone application Instagram（照片分享） has changed the way we look at photography, even our world. The photo-worthy moments we share serve as an important function in cultivating the photographic artistic eye.Instagram has got people to start noticing the art in their everyday life. It has also allowed us to share the artful moments in our lives with others. Clearly, making people focus on beautiful moments in their lives and how to share them is a positive takeaway from Instagram.Not only has Instagram changed the way we look at things around us, but it has also changed the way people view professional photography. Instagram has turned everyone with a smartphone into an artist. Opening up art to the general community is a groundbreaking（创新的） aspect of this application. Making artistic attempts accessible for everyone to discover their artistic talents and explore creatively is something that has made people find the beauty in the everyday. However, this accessibility hasalso created questioning around art and respect deserved by professional photography.The art in a professional photograph versus an Instagram can sometimes be hard to notice at a quick glance. But photographs taken by true professional photographers hold something that Instagram ’ s cannot match in terms of photographic quality, or advanced compositional knowledge.This is not to say Instagram is a lesser art. Aesthetic qualities of art are a personal matter and how good an artwork is depends on personal preferences. Good is a very arbitrary term in the art world. For example, I may find one photo more pleasing than another, but not everyone has to agree with me.The point I am trying to make is that professional photography should not be lost, but instead approached with a new, enhanced level of respect and admiration —despite how accessible, commonand fun Instagram now makes the taking and sharing of photos.12.What does the writer mainly tell us in the passage?A.The increasing popularity of Instagram.B.The advantages and disadvantages of Instagram.C.The changes that Instagram brings us.D.The differences between Instagram and professional photography.13.What can the smartphone application Instagram do?A.Help people to discover true self.B.Inspire people to find the beauty in life.C.Encourage people to be more competitive.D.Let people gain others ' respect and admiration.14.Why do people begin to doubt the art of professional photography?A.Because common people can take perfect photos easily.B.Because they show no respect for professional photographers.C.Because the artistic level of professional photography is reducing.D.Because Instagram has changed the way people look at the world.15.What does the writer think of professional photography?A. Useful.B. Valueless.C. Helpless.D. Absurd.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。
