A New Exoplanet in the System
In 2014, data from NASA's Kepler Space Telescope allowed astronomers to announce the detection of three planets orbiting Kepler-138.This was based on a(31)__________dip in starlight as the planet momentarily passed in front of their star,a transit.
Benneke and his colleague Diana Dragomir,from the University of New Mexico,came up with the idea of re-observing the planetary (32)_____with the Hubble and Spitzer space telescopes between 2014 and 2016 to catch more transits of Kepler-138d,the third planetin the system,in order to study its atmosphere.
While earlier NASA Kepler space telescope observations only showed transits of three small planets around Kepler-138,Piaulet and her team were (33)______to find that the Hubble and Spitzer observations suggested the presence of a fourth planet in the system,Kepler-138e.
This newly found planet is small and farther from its star than the three others, taking 38 days to complete an orbit. The planet is in the (34)________zone of its star, a temperate region where a planet receives just the right amount of heat from its cool star to be neither too hot nor too cold to allow the presence of liquid water. Observing the exoplanet's transit would have allowed astronomers to (35)______its size.
With Kepler-138e, the masses of the (36) known planets were measured again via the transit timing-variation method,which consists of(37)_______small variations in the precise moments of the planets' transits in front of their star caused by the gravitational pull of other nearby planets.
The researchers had another surprise:they found that the two water worlds Kepler-138c and d are twin planets, with (38)______the same size and mass,while they were previously thought to be greatly different. The closer-in planet, Kepler-138b, on the other hand, is (39)______to be a small Mars-mass planet, one of the smallest exoplanets known to date.
"As our instruments and techniques become(40)_enough to find and study planets that are farther from their stars, we might start finding a lot more water worlds like Kepler-138 c and d,"Benneke concluded.
III.Reading Comprehension
Section A
Directions:For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A,B,C and D.Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
"Challenge-based learning is often focused on the challenges that have global impact. The students, who (41)___the challenge, often don't know what the solution will be. The facilitator is keeping them from (42)__a solution too early,and encourages to analyze the challenge from multiple points of view, and from different scientific perspectives,"says Vilma Sukacke,a researcher at Kaunas University of Technology (KTU),Lithuania.
Such a learning approach is very fitting to sustainability education, which, according to various scholars, (43)___ a contextual，problem-oriented，reflective，interdisciplinary（跨学科）， collaborative，participatory，and empowered learning environment. In other words, educators have to(44)___from more traditional teacher-centred education to becoming instructional designers of student-centred education.
Aiming to evaluate the (45)_____of such approaches,a group of researchers from Lithuanian, Danish, German,Portuguese and Spanish universities conducted a systematic literature review, (46)______ the three active learning methods,i.e.,project-,problem-and challenge-based learning according to the ADDIE (analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation) framework.
(47)_____the educators agree that problem-based learning (PBL),project-based learning (PJBL) and,more recently,challenge-based learning(CBL)are efficient in teaching the students to (48)___technology in real-life situations and improving their transversal（横向）skills，such as teamwork，communication and conflict resolution，the application of these methods in the classroom may be challenging for both sides.
"In my practice, I have noticed that sometimes students are (49)________innovative learning methods and are considering them as a sort of a game.As these classes often take place in a playful environment, full of different pencils, colorful notes and building blocks, it's difficult for the students to take them (50)___________Therefore, it's very important to (51)_____the methods and the goals to the learners very clearly,"says Professor Saule Petroniene from KTU Faculty of Social Sciences, Arts and Humanities, a co-author of the study.
According to her, to successfully apply unconventional teaching methods is a challenge for a beginning teacher. However,this effort(52)_____,especially when students continue their activities outside school and focus on solving (53)_____social problems.
Researchers believe that the（54）____of CBL，PJBL， and PBL requires a paradigm（范式）shift，where organization,staff and students change their view to education and learning. In this process, both teachers and students need to apply new skills and(55)______roles that they might not have needed before.

Section B
Directions:Read the following three passages.Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
(A)
Mona Lisa, also called Portrait of Lisa Gherardini, wife of Frances del Giocondo, Italian La Gioconda, or French La Joconde, oil painting on a wood panel by Leonardo da Vinci,is probably the world's most famous painting.It was painted sometime between 1503 and 1519, when Leonardo was living in Florence, and it now hangs in the Louvre Museum, Paris, attracting people throughout the world to see it in the 21st century. The sitter's mysterious smile and her unproven identity have made the painting a source of ongoing investigation and fascination.
But at least a dozen excellent copies of the Mona Lisa exist,many of them by Leonardo's students. One such copy at the Prado Museum in Madrid was thought to have been painted years after the original. However, during the restoration of the painting in the early 2010s,which included using advanced reflexology to examine the work beneath the surface, conservators discovered that the painting had changes that mirrored those of the original. The findings suggested that the artist—likely one of the master's assistants—painted the copy as Leonardo worked on the Mona Lisa in his studio. Thus, "the Prado version" became the only known copy completed during Leonardo's lifetime. Conservators cleaned the entire painting and removed its black background, revealing a detailed landscape resembling Leonardo's version and vibrant colors,possibly arousing those of the original before the paint applied by early restorers darkened over time.
Other copies of the Mona Lisa include so-called Isleworth Mona Lisa, which some critics claim is da Vinci's first edition. The claim was a controversial one, with several leading Leonardo scholars flatly denying it. Numerous interpretations, often referred to as Monna Vanna, also exist and were likely completed by Leonardo's students with occasional input from their master.
In June,a copy of the Mona Lisa is said to have been sold for a record 2.9 million euros (22 million yuan) at Christie's in Paris. The copy is believed to have been made by a follower of Leonardo da Vinci in the early 17th century and later was purchased by Harkin in 1953 from an art dealer in Nice,France,hence it got the name Heggin's Mona Lisa. High imitation is also worth money! As the art investment market heats up, various art reproductions continue to emerge. Collectors have not shut out these fine copies, some of which have not only made it into the house, but also sold for high prices. Is it really worth it to pay a high price for an art reproduction?This issue is getting more and more attention from collectors.
56. What can we learn about Mona Lisa in Para.1?
A.This painting has been sold out.
B.Her smile and identity arouse people's curiosity.
C.The painting is said to be hanging in Florence now.
D. The painting was created by Leonardo da Vinci in France.
57.What does"the Prado version"refer to in the passage?
A. All the restored copies. B.The works of early restorers.
C.A copy from the Prado Museum. D.An excellent copy of da Vinci.
58.Why don't collectors turn away these wonderful reproductions?
A.Because of the entertainment. B.Because of the love for painters.
C.Because of the short supply. D.Because of the high returns.
59.Which of the following is the best title of the passage?
A.Mona Lisa B.Other Mona Lisas C.Mona Lisa's Smile D.Mona Lisa's Valuc
(B)
If you really want to see all that Yellowstone Park has to offer, it would take you a lifetime! However, most of us do not have a lifetime to spend in Yellowstone,but in 2-3full days, you will be able to hit most of the highlights.
There is no such thing as racing around the park.Yellowstone has 154 miles of a main highway, known as the Grand Loop Road.The general park speed limit is 45 miles per hour but in normal traffic,you will be lucky to average 30 miles per hour. Figure at least an hour of driving time for every thirty miles of distance. If you plan to get off the bus and visit the park, it will take at least 1.2 to 2 hours at almost every stop.In addition,there will be any number of unscheduled stops,such as waiting for wild animals to cross the road
A suggested starting point for your tour of Yellowstone National Park is to enter through the South Gate,which is approximately sixty-two miles north of Jackson, Wyoming. Everyone comes to Yellowstone to see Old Faithful. Although， not the largest geyser（间歇泉）to erupt in the Park， it is the most reliable regarding the time of eruption. The time of the eruption, the length of the eruption and the height of the eruption vary from year to year. As you enter the Park, ask the Park Information Office if he has information on the expected times for the eruption of Old Faithful.
As you drive north on the Grand Loop Road,keep an eye out for wildlife.At Grant Village Junction,turn left (west)and head toward Old Faithful Village. Once at Old Faithful Village,take some time to walk around the boardwalks and visit some of the many other geysers in the Upper Geyser Basin. Include the 1.4-mile walk to Morning Glory Pool, one of the most colorful thermal（热能）features in all of Yellowstone. And do not forget to visit the Old Faithful Inn， which is the single most impressive human structure in Yellowstone.
Continue on north and visit the Lower Geyser Basin.The area is scattered and features regularly erupting geysers, hot springs, and a fascinating mud pool. After leaving the Lower Geyser Basin, continue north to Norris Junction and stay to the right to travel to Norris Geyser Basin. One of Yellowstone's most popular geyser basins, Norris is home to one of the Park's most popular geysers and Steamboat.In addition, there are several miles of boardwalks from which you can explore dozens of multi-colored thermal features.
As for more,go on a Sightseeing Tour of Yellowstone to see it all.

The world is wasting the opportunity to “build back better"from the Covid-19 pandemic, and faces disastrous temperature rises of at least 2.7℃ if countries fail to strengthen their climate commitments, according to a report from the UN.
Tuesday's publication warns that countries' current commitments would reduce carbon by only about 7.5% by 2030, far less than the 45% cut, which scientists say is needed to limit global temperature rises to 1.5°C,the aim of the Cop26 summit that opens in Glasgow this Sunday.
Antonio Guterres, the UN secretary-general, described the findings as a "thundering wake-up call"to world leaders, while experts called for action against fossil fuel companies.
Although more than 100 countries have promised to reach net zero emissions around mid-century, this would not be enough to avoid climate disasters,according to the UN emissions report, which examines the shortfall between countries' intentions and actions needed on the climate. Many of the net zero commitments were found to be unclear, and unless accompanied by strict cuts in emissions this decade would allow global heating of a potentially disastrous extent.
Guterres said:"The heat is on, and as the contents of the report show, the leadership we need is off. Far off. Countries arc wasting a massive opportunity to invest Covid-19 finance and recovery resources in sustainable, cost-saving,planet-saving ways.As world leaders prepare for Cop26,this report is another thundering wake-up call. How many do we need?"
Inger Andersen, the director of the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) said:“Climate change is no longer a future problem. It is a now problem. To stand a chance of limiting global warming to 1.5°C, we have 8 years to almost halve greenhouse gas emissions: 8 years to make the plans, put in place the policies, carry them out and deliver the cuts. The clock is ticking loudly."
Emissions fell by about 5.4% last year during Covid lock downs, the report found, but only about one-fifth of the economic recovery spending goes towards reducing carbon emissions. This failure to "build back better" despite promises by governments around the world cast doubt on the world's willingness to make the economic shift necessary to settle the climate crisis, the UN said.
In the run-up to Cop26, countries were supposed to submit national plans to cut emissions - called nationally determined contributions (NDCs)-for the next decade,a requirement under the 2015 Paris climate agreement.But the UNEP report found only half of countries had submitted new NDCs,and some governments had presented weak plans.
63.Why were the findings described as a"thundering wake-up call"in Para.3?
A.Because the world has failed to deliver on its current promises.
B.Because the serious problems were brought about by global fossil fuels.
C.Because a global temperature rise of at least 2.7°C would be a disaster.
D.Because the opportunities presented by covid-19 have been wasted.
64.According to the author,in what circumstances is global warming avoidable?
A. New plans will be made to protect the environment.
B. Measures will be taken to reduce emissions in the coming ten years.
C.Transitions will be made in response to the global climate crisis.
D.Global sustainable environmental resources will be greatly developed.
65.What is the author's purpose in saying "How many do we need?"in Para.5?
A. To show the number of alarm clocks required.
B. To inquire the number of the countries attending the meeting.
C.To explain the reason for the world's wasting chances.
D. To stress the need to save energy and reduce emissions.
66.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A.Few countries have submitted plans to reduce the emissions.
B.Most of the countries work under the Paris Climate Agreement.
C. Plans to cut emissions of many countries are far from satisfactory.
D. Much progress in reducing emissions has been made these years.

Huizhou Architecture Comes to Life
Huizhou has a long history.When successful Huizhou businessmen got old, they often went back to their hometown and built houses to spend their remaining years.(67)__Now, walking along the blue stone streets there, visitors can appreciate the distinctive Huizhou-style houses， featuring white walls， dark tiles（瓦片）and layered horse-head roofs, and feel like they are lost in a traditional Chinese ink painting.
Huizhou architecture, with its long tradition and great diversity, occupies an important place in Chinese architectural landscape,says Zhang Wangnan,director of the China Huizhou Culture Museum in Huangshan. Huizhou houses tend to be built on the natural places, since Huizhouis a mountainous area with few flat areas of land,according to Zhang. Moreover, daylight is valued in Huizhou houses, reflected in the building of open interior courtyards, allowing sunshine to enter the rooms."Huizhou businessmen also believed that water symbolizes wealth.(68)__________It stands for keeping windfall profits,"says Zhang.
Huizhou is famous for its stone, wood and brick carvings, which are widely used to decorate local houses.“(69)_____In this way， they integrate their aesthetic（审美）values and emotions into the buildings， making them more beautiful and educating their children through the meanings contained in the patterns,"says Zhang.
(70)____"If you look at the outside of a Huizhou house,it seems simple,enclosed by walls, but the insides are open and broad, with complicated decorations. It is just like Huizhou people, who are often reserved toward strangers but friendly when you gct to know them," says Zhang. Hc also says that Ming houses differ from those of the Qing Dynasty in many aspects, for example, having fewer horse-head roofs and less complicated carvings.

How to Stay Healthy in Autumn
In recent days, the weather in most regions is no longer hot, and people can relax and enjoy the cool autumn. However,there is a big gap in temperature in the morning and evening, and the air is also drier. All of these factors can lead to dry mouth and nose,sore throat,dry cough,dry hair loss and other symptoms. People are more likely to get sick during the seasonal change from summer through autumn.So,here are some tips to keep you healthy and comfortable into the winter months.
Do eat watery food.According to traditional Chinese medicine, autumn corresponds to the lungs of the human body. Pay attention to wet lungs in dry weather. The most convenient and easy way to protect lungs in autumn is to drink more water.In addition,you can adopt the diet therapy of traditional Chinese medicine, eating some watery food, like pear and duck meat.
Do have easily digested food.People's spleen（脾）and stomach functions are weakened because of the raw and cold food they had during the long,hot summer.So in autumn,you should give your spleen and stomach a rest.For example, you can choose some nutritious food that iseasy to digest to eat,such as fish and red bean.
Be sure to take vitamin supplements. Vitamins play an important role in the body's immune system. The number and vitality of immune cells are related to vitamins when the body resists foreign invasion. It is recommended that you eat plenty of fresh vegetables and fruits rich in vitamin C,such as kiwi and oranges.
Sleep is an important means for people to restore their physical strength, ensure their health and enhance their immunity.In autumn,it is suggested that you go to bed at 9pm, or try to fall asleep before 11 o'clock.If you sleep at this time,it is great for your body and you can get a good quality of sleep.

Section B
Directions:In Section B,you will hear two short passages and one longer conversation,and you will be asked several questions on each of the passages and the conversation. The passages and the conversation will be read twice,but the questions will be spoken only once. When you hear a question, read the four possible answers on your paper and decide which one would be the best answer to the question you have heard.
Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following recording.
People spend nearly one-third of their lives sleeping. Undeniably, one of the most important functions of sleep is to promote the formation of learning and memory. Besides, is there any other reason?Why do we sleep?I know this question has been debated by scientists and philosophers for centuries, but are there any answers?
First,scientists have long been searching for the secrets of sleep, why we sleep and why it is necessary. We know that going without sleep for too long can seriously damage health, so we have every reason to believe that getting enough sleep is important for our well-being.
But exactly how and why that's the case is still an open question. Some research, though, may shed a little light on the problem. For instance, scientists at the University of Rochester Medical Center in New York did a study with mice, and found that during sleep their brains would release poisonous substances that accumulate during the day.
More specifically, the study found that sleep sort of changes the brain's cell structure. When the mice were asleep. the researchers found that there was more space between their brain cells, allowing a brain device to be turned on to allow fluid to flow quickly through the brain.
Other studies have shown that poisonous molecules buildup in the space between brain cells.Researchers at the University of Rochester found that those molecules disappeared faster from the brain when the mice were asleep. So what docs this mean? Well, it could give scientists new ways to study and potentially treat brain disorders by targeting the brain system and helping it better remove poisonous substances from the brain.

Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following recording.
Advertisements are designed to persuade us to buy things,but which techniques have been shown to be effective in attracting us to buy？
One way is simply to picture something as normal. Former advertising professional Dan Parker explains that 'normalization',showing people happily eating unhealthily,can lead to higher sales of junk food as people start to see these habits as normal. This is like product placement, where products are shown or mentioned in TV shows and films. Beth Fossen, an assistant professor of marketing, tells us that product placement is most effective when it is not too obvious. We become defensive if we know that someone is trying to sell us something.
Appealing to our emotions is another strategy that advertisers use. Some of them use fear to persuade us. Janet, a senior lecturer in communication studies, explains that for fear to be an effective tool,we need to believe that both the fears raised, and the possibility that our actions can make a difference are credible.
Advertisements often show perfect-looking people because marketers believe that we are eager to be like them and will buy their approved products. However, as Karen, a senior lecturer in marketing and advertising, points out, this may not be the best strategy. The research that she mentions snows these advertisements can make people feel bad and put them off products. These studies suggest that seeing people as more human and approachable can convince us to trust them.David Robson,writing for BBC Work life,explains that those who admit they are wrong are more likely to be trusted.
Please listen again.
Questions:
14. According to Dan Parker, what can cause higher sales of unhealthy food?
15.Why do advertisers often use perfect-looking people to promote things?
16.What's true of David Robson?

A New Exoplanet in the System
In 2014, data from NASA's Kepler Space Telescope allowed astronomers to announce the detection of three planets orbiting Kepler-138.This was based on a(31)__________dip in starlight as the planet momentarily passed in front of their star,a transit.
Benneke and his colleague Diana Dragomir,from the University of New Mexico,came up with the idea of re-observing the planetary (32)_____with the Hubble and Spitzer space telescopes between 2014 and 2016 to catch more transits of Kepler-138d,the third planetin the system,in order to study its atmosphere.
While earlier NASA Kepler space telescope observations only showed transits of three small planets around Kepler-138,Piaulet and her team were (33)______to find that the Hubble and Spitzer observations suggested the presence of a fourth planet in the system,Kepler-138e.
This newly found planet is small and farther from its star than the three others, taking 38 days to complete an orbit. The planet is in the (34)________zone of its star, a temperate region where a planet receives just the right amount of heat from its cool star to be neither too hot nor too cold to allow the presence of liquid water. Observing the exoplanet's transit would have allowed astronomers to (35)______its size.
With Kepler-138e, the masses of the (36) known planets were measured again via the transit timing-variation method,which consists of(37)_______small variations in the precise moments of the planets' transits in front of their star caused by the gravitational pull of other nearby planets.
The researchers had another surprise:they found that the two water worlds Kepler-138c and d are twin planets, with (38)______the same size and mass,while they were previously thought to be greatly different. The closer-in planet, Kepler-138b, on the other hand, is (39)______to be a small Mars-mass planet, one of the smallest exoplanets known to date.
"As our instruments and techniques become(40)_enough to find and study planets that are farther from their stars, we might start finding a lot more water worlds like Kepler-138 c and d,"Benneke concluded.

Section A
Directions:For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A,B,C and D.Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
"Challenge-based learning is often focused on the challenges that have global impact. The students, who (41)___the challenge, often don't know what the solution will be. The facilitator is keeping them from (42)__a solution too early,and encourages to analyze the challenge from multiple points of view, and from different scientific perspectives,"says Vilma Sukacke,a researcher at Kaunas University of Technology (KTU),Lithuania.
Such a learning approach is very fitting to sustainability education, which, according to various scholars, (43)___ a contextual，problem-oriented，reflective，interdisciplinary（跨学科）， collaborative，participatory，and empowered learning environment. In other words, educators have to(44)___from more traditional teacher-centred education to becoming instructional designers of student-centred education.
Aiming to evaluate the (45)_____of such approaches,a group of researchers from Lithuanian, Danish, German,Portuguese and Spanish universities conducted a systematic literature review, (46)______ the three active learning methods,i.e.,project-,problem-and challenge-based learning according to the ADDIE (analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation) framework.
(47)_____the educators agree that problem-based learning (PBL),project-based learning (PJBL) and,more recently,challenge-based learning(CBL)are efficient in teaching the students to (48)___technology in real-life situations and improving their transversal（横向）skills，such as teamwork，communication and conflict resolution，the application of these methods in the classroom may be challenging for both sides.
"In my practice, I have noticed that sometimes students are (49)________innovative learning methods and are considering them as a sort of a game.As these classes often take place in a playful environment, full of different pencils, colorful notes and building blocks, it's difficult for the students to take them (50)___________Therefore, it's very important to (51)_____the methods and the goals to the learners very clearly,"says Professor Saule Petroniene from KTU Faculty of Social Sciences, Arts and Humanities, a co-author of the study.

Section B
Directions:Read the following three passages.Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
(A)
Mona Lisa, also called Portrait of Lisa Gherardini, wife of Frances del Giocondo, Italian La Gioconda, or French La Joconde, oil painting on a wood panel by Leonardo da Vinci,is probably the world's most famous painting.It was painted sometime between 1503 and 1519, when Leonardo was living in Florence, and it now hangs in the Louvre Museum, Paris, attracting people throughout the world to see it in the 21st century. The sitter's mysterious smile and her unproven identity have made the painting a source of ongoing investigation and fascination.
But at least a dozen excellent copies of the Mona Lisa exist,many of them by Leonardo's students. One such copy at the Prado Museum in Madrid was thought to have been painted years after the original. However, during the restoration of the painting in the early 2010s,which included using advanced reflexology to examine the work beneath the surface, conservators discovered that the painting had changes that mirrored those of the original. The findings suggested that the artist—likely one of the master's assistants—painted the copy as Leonardo worked on the Mona Lisa in his studio. Thus, "the Prado version" became the only known copy completed during Leonardo's lifetime. Conservators cleaned the entire painting and removed its black background, revealing a detailed landscape resembling Leonardo's version and vibrant colors,possibly arousing those of the original before the paint applied by early restorers darkened over time.
Other copies of the Mona Lisa include so-called Isleworth Mona Lisa, which some critics claim is da Vinci's first edition. The claim was a controversial one, with several leading Leonardo scholars flatly denying it. Numerous interpretations, often referred to as Monna Vanna, also exist and were likely completed by Leonardo's students with occasional input from their master.
In June,a copy of the Mona Lisa is said to have been sold for a record 2.9 million euros (22 million yuan) at Christie's in Paris. The copy is believed to have been made by a follower of Leonardo da Vinci in the early 17th century and later was purchased by Harkin in 1953 from an art dealer in Nice,France,hence it got the name Heggin's Mona Lisa. High imitation is also worth money! As the art investment market heats up, various art reproductions continue to emerge. Collectors have not shut out these fine copies, some of which have not only made it into the house, but also sold for high prices. Is it really worth it to pay a high price for an art reproduction?This issue is getting more and more attention from collectors.
56. What can we learn about Mona Lisa in Para.1?
A.This painting has been sold out.
B.Her smile and identity arouse people's curiosity.
C.The painting is said to be hanging in Florence now.
D. The painting was created by Leonardo da Vinci in France.
57.What does"the Prado version"refer to in the passage?
A. All the restored copies. B.The works of early restorers.
C.A copy from the Prado Museum. D.An excellent copy of da Vinci.
58.Why don't collectors turn away these wonderful reproductions?
A.Because of the entertainment. B.Because of the love for painters.
C.Because of the short supply. D.Because of the high returns.
59.Which of the following is the best title of the passage?
A.Mona Lisa B.Other Mona Lisas C.Mona Lisa's Smile D.Mona Lisa's Valuc

If you really want to see all that Yellowstone Park has to offer, it would take you a lifetime! However, most of us do not have a lifetime to spend in Yellowstone,but in 2-3full days, you will be able to hit most of the highlights.
There is no such thing as racing around the park.Yellowstone has 154 miles of a main highway, known as the Grand Loop Road.The general park speed limit is 45 miles per hour but in normal traffic,you will be lucky to average 30 miles per hour. Figure at least an hour of driving time for every thirty miles of distance. If you plan to get off the bus and visit the park, it will take at least 1.2 to 2 hours at almost every stop.In addition,there will be any number of unscheduled stops,such as waiting for wild animals to cross the road
A suggested starting point for your tour of Yellowstone National Park is to enter through the South Gate,which is approximately sixty-two miles north of Jackson, Wyoming. Everyone comes to Yellowstone to see Old Faithful. Although， not the largest geyser（间歇泉）to erupt in the Park， it is the most reliable regarding the time of eruption. The time of the eruption, the length of the eruption and the height of the eruption vary from year to year. As you enter the Park, ask the Park Information Office if he has information on the expected times for the eruption of Old Faithful.
As you drive north on the Grand Loop Road,keep an eye out for wildlife.At Grant Village Junction,turn left (west)and head toward Old Faithful Village. Once at Old Faithful Village,take some time to walk around the boardwalks and visit some of the many other geysers in the Upper Geyser Basin. Include the 1.4-mile walk to Morning Glory Pool, one of the most colorful thermal（热能）features in all of Yellowstone. And do not forget to visit the Old Faithful Inn， which is the single most impressive human structure in Yellowstone.
Continue on north and visit the Lower Geyser Basin.The area is scattered and features regularly erupting geysers, hot springs, and a fascinating mud pool. After leaving the Lower Geyser Basin, continue north to Norris Junction and stay to the right to travel to Norris Geyser Basin. One of Yellowstone's most popular geyser basins, Norris is home to one of the Park's most popular geysers and Steamboat.In addition, there are several miles of boardwalks from which you can explore dozens of multi-colored thermal features.
As for more,go on a Sightseeing Tour of Yellowstone to see it all.

The world is wasting the opportunity to “build back better"from the Covid-19 pandemic, and faces disastrous temperature rises of at least 2.7℃ if countries fail to strengthen their climate commitments, according to a report from the UN.
Tuesday's publication warns that countries' current commitments would reduce carbon by only about 7.5% by 2030, far less than the 45% cut, which scientists say is needed to limit global temperature rises to 1.5°C,the aim of the Cop26 summit that opens in Glasgow this Sunday.
Antonio Guterres, the UN secretary-general, described the findings as a "thundering wake-up call"to world leaders, while experts called for action against fossil fuel companies.
Although more than 100 countries have promised to reach net zero emissions around mid-century, this would not be enough to avoid climate disasters,according to the UN emissions report, which examines the shortfall between countries' intentions and actions needed on the climate. Many of the net zero commitments were found to be unclear, and unless accompanied by strict cuts in emissions this decade would allow global heating of a potentially disastrous extent.
Guterres said:"The heat is on, and as the contents of the report show, the leadership we need is off. Far off. Countries arc wasting a massive opportunity to invest Covid-19 finance and recovery resources in sustainable, cost-saving,planet-saving ways.As world leaders prepare for Cop26,this report is another thundering wake-up call. How many do we need?"
Inger Andersen, the director of the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) said:“Climate change is no longer a future problem. It is a now problem. To stand a chance of limiting global warming to 1.5°C, we have 8 years to almost halve greenhouse gas emissions: 8 years to make the plans, put in place the policies, carry them out and deliver the cuts. The clock is ticking loudly."
Emissions fell by about 5.4% last year during Covid lock downs, the report found, but only about one-fifth of the economic recovery spending goes towards reducing carbon emissions. This failure to "build back better" despite promises by governments around the world cast doubt on the world's willingness to make the economic shift necessary to settle the climate crisis, the UN said.
In the run-up to Cop26, countries were supposed to submit national plans to cut emissions - called nationally determined contributions (NDCs)-for the next decade,a requirement under the 2015 Paris climate agreement.But the UNEP report found only half of countries had submitted new NDCs,and some governments had presented weak plans.
63.Why were the findings described as a"thundering wake-up call"in Para.3?
A.Because the world has failed to deliver on its current promises.
B.Because the serious problems were brought about by global fossil fuels.
C.Because a global temperature rise of at least 2.7°C would be a disaster.
D.Because the opportunities presented by covid-19 have been wasted.
64.According to the author,in what circumstances is global warming avoidable?
A. New plans will be made to protect the environment.
B. Measures will be taken to reduce emissions in the coming ten years.
C.Transitions will be made in response to the global climate crisis.
D.Global sustainable environmental resources will be greatly developed.
65.What is the author's purpose in saying "How many do we need?"in Para.5?
A. To show the number of alarm clocks required.
B. To inquire the number of the countries attending the meeting.
C.To explain the reason for the world's wasting chances.
D. To stress the need to save energy and reduce emissions.
66.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A.Few countries have submitted plans to reduce the emissions.
B.Most of the countries work under the Paris Climate Agreement.
C. Plans to cut emissions of many countries are far from satisfactory.
D. Much progress in reducing emissions has been made these years.

Huizhou Architecture Comes to Life
Huizhou has a long history.When successful Huizhou businessmen got old, they often went back to their hometown and built houses to spend their remaining years.(67)__Now, walking along the blue stone streets there, visitors can appreciate the distinctive Huizhou-style houses， featuring white walls， dark tiles（瓦片）and layered horse-head roofs, and feel like they are lost in a traditional Chinese ink painting.
Huizhou architecture, with its long tradition and great diversity, occupies an important place in Chinese architectural landscape,says Zhang Wangnan,director of the China Huizhou Culture Museum in Huangshan. Huizhou houses tend to be built on the natural places, since Huizhouis a mountainous area with few flat areas of land,according to Zhang. Moreover, daylight is valued in Huizhou houses, reflected in the building of open interior courtyards, allowing sunshine to enter the rooms."Huizhou businessmen also believed that water symbolizes wealth.(68)__________It stands for keeping windfall profits,"says Zhang.
Huizhou is famous for its stone, wood and brick carvings, which are widely used to decorate local houses.“(69)_____In this way， they integrate their aesthetic（审美）values and emotions into the buildings， making them more beautiful and educating their children through the meanings contained in the patterns,"says Zhang.
(70)____"If you look at the outside of a Huizhou house,it seems simple,enclosed by walls, but the insides are open and broad, with complicated decorations. It is just like Huizhou people, who are often reserved toward strangers but friendly when you gct to know them," says Zhang.

Section B
Directions:In Section B,you will hear two short passages and one longer conversation,and you will be asked several questions on each of the passages and the conversation. The passages and the conversation will be read twice,but the questions will be spoken only once. When you hear a question, read the four possible answers on your paper and decide which one would be the best answer to the question you have heard.
Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following recording.
People spend nearly one-third of their lives sleeping. Undeniably, one of the most important functions of sleep is to promote the formation of learning and memory. Besides, is there any other reason?Why do we sleep?I know this question has been debated by scientists and philosophers for centuries, but are there any answers?
First,scientists have long been searching for the secrets of sleep, why we sleep and why it is necessary. We know that going without sleep for too long can seriously damage health, so we have every reason to believe that getting enough sleep is important for our well-being.
But exactly how and why that's the case is still an open question. Some research, though, may shed a little light on the problem. For instance, scientists at the University of Rochester Medical Center in New York did a study with mice, and found that during sleep their brains would release poisonous substances that accumulate during the day.
More specifically, the study found that sleep sort of changes the brain's cell structure. When the mice were asleep. the researchers found that there was more space between their brain cells, allowing a brain device to be turned on to allow fluid to flow quickly through the brain.
Other studies have shown that poisonous molecules buildup in the space between brain cells.Researchers at the University of Rochester found that those molecules disappeared faster from the brain when the mice were asleep. So what docs this mean? Well, it could give scientists new ways to study and potentially treat brain disorders by targeting the brain system and helping it better remove poisonous substances from the brain.
Please listen again.
Questions:
11.What's the speaker mainly talking about?
12.What causes poisonous substances to be released quickly from the mice?
13. What can be learned from the study of the University of Rochester?
Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following recording.
Advertisements are designed to persuade us to buy things,but which techniques have been shown to be effective in attracting us to buy？
One way is simply to picture something as normal. Former advertising professional Dan Parker explains that 'normalization',showing people happily eating unhealthily,can lead to higher sales of junk food as people start to see these habits as normal. This is like product placement, where products are shown or mentioned in TV shows and films. Beth Fossen, an assistant professor of marketing, tells us that product placement is most effective when it is not too obvious. We become defensive if we know that someone is trying to sell us something.
Appealing to our emotions is another strategy that advertisers use. Some of them use fear to persuade us. Janet, a senior lecturer in communication studies, explains that for fear to be an effective tool,we need to believe that both the fears raised, and the possibility that our actions can make a difference are credible.
Advertisements often show perfect-looking people because marketers believe that we are eager to be like them and will buy their approved products. However, as Karen, a senior lecturer in marketing and advertising, points out, this may not be the best strategy. The research that she mentions snows these advertisements can make people feel bad and put them off products. These studies suggest that seeing people as more human and approachable can convince us to trust them.David Robson,writing for BBC Work life,explains that those who admit they are wrong are more likely to be trusted.
Please listen again.
Questions:
14. According to Dan Parker, what can cause higher sales of unhealthy food?
15.Why do advertisers often use perfect-looking people to promote things?
16.What's true of David Robson?
Questions 17 through 20 are based on the following conversation.
