Best Things to Do in Boston in 2022
Boston is an energetic, alive city. However, choosing where to go and what to do isn’t easy in Boston. Here are some must-sees you simply can’t miss when you visit the city.
Downtown Crossing
The Downtown Crossing is an intersection(交汇处) of three major city streets: Washington, Winter, and Summer Streets. It’s home to some of the best shopping available in Boston, with plenty of walkable malls and parks to enjoy. Most of the well-known store brands have a storefront here. In addition, there are also many outdoor spaces.
Freedom Trail
The Freedom Trail is a unique collection of museums, churches, meeting houses, burial grounds, parks, a ship, and historic markers that tell the story of the American Revolution and beyond. It begins at the Boston Common and ends at the Bunker Hill Monument in Charlestown. Walking here, every step tells a story.
Boston Harborwalk
The Boston Harborwalk is a public boardwalk that links all of Boston’s beautiful waterfront neighborhoods and harbor. This impressive waterfront is still under construction. When fully completed, it will extend 47 miles from East Boston, through Charles River and Millers River, to the Neponset River. Along the Boston Harborwalk are several indoor and outdoor displays of historical materials and memorials. Come here to enjoy the ocean scenery.
Harvard Museum of Natural History
The Harvard Museum of Natural History includes some jaw-dropping exhibits, like its centerpiece: the Marine Life exhibition. A complete recreation of the New England underwater ecosystem lies in a central aquarium, attracting anyone who loves marine(海洋的) life to visit. Visitors will encounter the diversity of life on Earth, from dinosaurs to large mammals, birds, and fish.

Bookstores are fascinating places. There the books can take you to magical lands, help you learn a foreign language, or cook a delicious meal. But when your community doesn’t have enough space for a real brick bookstore, you have to make a compromise(妥协). A mobile bookstore that brings books around the country is the result. That is the case for Rita Collins, 70, who dreamed of opening a bookstore after retiring.
A business planning class convinced Collins that opening a bookstore in the small town where she lives would not be practical. Eureka, Montana, located just nine miles from the Canadian border, only has a population of 1,517. Collins asked her instructors about a traveling bookstore on wheels and they were doubtful. But she insisted.
Collins was inspired by Dylans Mobile Bookstore, a traveling bookstore in Wales run by Jeff Towns. She contacted Jeff for advice but she was largely on her own when it came to building her bookstore. First, she had to find a vehicle large enough to stand in. Then she had to have it refitted with shelves that would hold the books at a 15-degree angle so that they would stay in place while in transportation. Collins named her bookstore St Rita’s Traveling Bookstore, which has been on the road since 2015.
At first, she drove through Montana and then she made her first cross-country trip in 2016. Collins and her mobile bookstore have visited 30 states. Collins loves meeting people and making connections. She sets up a typewriter outside the store and encourages customers to write. One time, a young man typed an entire page about a friend of his. That’s something she never expected.
While she loves what she does, Collins doesn’t think she can keep doing it due to her old age. In several years, she hopes to pass her traveling bookstore onto another bibliophile(爱书者) who shares the same interest and will keep it on the road.
4、Why does the author mention the mobile bookstore in Paragraph 1?
A. To advertise it in small towns.
B. To compare it with the fixed one.
C. To introduce the story of Collins.
D. To introduce the main types of bookstores.
5、Why was Collins advised not to open a bookstore in her town?
A. Few people love reading in her town. B. It has a small consumer market.
C. She lacked start-up capital. D. No one gave her guidance.
6、What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A. Where Collins got the inspiration for her bookstore.
B. Why Collins bookstore became famous soon.
C. How Collins got support for her bookstore.
D. How Collins built her mobile bookstore.
7、What is Collins’ future plan?
A. To invite more people to open traveling bookstores.
B. To find a booklover to take over her bookstore.
C. To keep traveling to other states by herself.
D. To sell more books in many areas.
Music is not just a set of sounds and rhythms. Its influence on the brain is much deeper than any other human experience. Keep on reading to know all those amazing powers of music.
A recent study suggests that preterm(早产的) babies appear to experience less pain and feed more when listening to music. Experts led by Dr. Manoj Kumar of the University of Alberta, Canada, found that music had a beneficial effect on reducing pain for preterm babies experiencing painful medical tests. It also appeared to benefit full-term babies during operations.
Many people experiencing brain damage have speech and movement-related problems. Music can help recover from brain injuries. As a different and effective treatment, doctors often advise such patients to listen to good music to improve the parts of the brain responsible for these two functions. When people with neurological(神经的) disorders hear a musical beat, it helps them to regain a balanced walk.
Though music cannot make deafness disappear, it really can stave off the loss of hearing. There was an experiment involving 163 people where 74 were musicians. Participants were asked to pass some listening tests. Musicians heard the sounds better than non-musicians, and this difference gets clearer with age. This means that a 70-year-old musician hears better than a 50-year-old non-musician, even in a noisy environment.
Besides, music mends a broken heart. It is not about a thrown-away love, but about a heart attack. The matter is that music can help people recover from a heart attack or heart operation by reducing blood pressure, slowing down the heartbeat rate, and reducing anxiety. Listening to the quality music produces positive emotions, improves the movement of blood, and expands blood vessels, thus, promoting quick recovery of the whole cardiovascular(心血管的)system.
8、How does music affect preterm babies?
A. It helps repair their neurological systems.
B. It helps develop their potential in music.
C. It helps improve their hearing systems.
D. It helps reduce their pain.
9、What does the underlined phrase “stave off” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A. cause B. increase C. prevent D. cure
10、Why can music mend a broken heart?
A. It can help people prevent diseases caused by anxiety.
B. It has a positive effect on human body systems’ work.
C. It helps make a person feel optimistic about life.
D. It can help patients recover in a slow way.
11、What may be the best title for the text?
A. How music affects our mind and body? B. The way to choose quality music.
C. The best time to listen to music. D. Who can benefit from music?
The Sequoia National Park in California’s southern Sierra Nevada mountains is best known for the Giant Forest, a collection of 2,000 trees that includes half of the Earth’s largest and longest-living trees. This past weekend, the ancient wonders came dangerously close to being burned by the KNP Complex Fire. But thanks to resourceful firefighters, the precious treasure has been saved.
The fire personnel had taken the standard measures of clearing bushes and setting controlled fires long before the fire began heading toward the Giant Forest. But they knew more needed to be done. On September 17, 2021, they took the unusual step of covering the base of some of the oldest trees with protective aluminum “blankets”. High on the list was General Sherman, the world’s largest tree by volume. The park officials believed the specialized foil(锡纸) would help block some of the heat from the flames and enhance the natural insulation(隔热) provided by the ancient trees’ thick bark. They were right!
On Sunday, September 19, 2021, the officials reported that the extra prevention measures, which also included 24-hour timed sprinklers(洒水装置) on General Sherman and the nearby park buildings, had worked. Jack Owen, a spokesman for the KNP Complex Fire Information Office, said, “There are no trees that have been burned yet, as far as in the Giant Forest. Fire crews are pouring everything they can into it as long as it’s safe. That area is looking good.”
Unfortunately, the same cannot be said about the rest of the national park. The KNP Complex Fire has burned through 21,777 acres. Meanwhile, the Windy Fire, which started further south on the Sierra slopes on the same night, has burned over 21,598 acres. Hopefully, the weather will cooperate and allow firefighters to gain control of the massive fires, which are now beginning to threaten nearby communities.
12、What did the firefighters first do to protect the Giant Forest from fire?
A. Cover it with specialized foil.
B. Put it on the list of protective steps.
C. Set up a fire prevention belt around it.
D. Identify the features of the complex fire.
13、Why was the specialized foil applied?
A. To prevent some heat from the fire. B. To stop the fire from spreading.
C. To keep tree roots from losing water. D. To test the survival ability of the trees.
14、What can we infer from paragraph 3?
A. Fire crews are ready to leave.
B. General Sherman is comparatively safe.
C. Nearby buildings have been abandoned.
D. Some trees in the Giant Forest have been cut down.
15、What does the author think about the safety of the rest of the national park?
A. Worried. B. Optimistic. C. Discouraged. D. Unconcerned.

A Mother’s Heartfelt Note of Love
Everything seemed to have changed for me when I entered high school. I never saw a single person I knew from middle school. At home I was just as lonely. “My brothers and sister all fit in,” I thought, opening the door after another bad day at school. “Why can’t I?”
Mom was there waiting for me. “Karole, your bedroom’s a disaster. Why can’t you keep it clean?” The last thing I needed was criticism from my mother. What had happened to the mother who used to snuggle(依偎) up to me on the sofa, loving me with complete acceptance, and who thought everything I did was wonderful? I didn’t bother trying to explain my unhappiness. It was easier to hide in my bedroom, without saying a word, like I did every afternoon.
Clearing some space, I sat down at my desk. Yet there was another thing I wasn’t good at anymore. My grades had slipped along with my confidence. I turned to a new page in my notebook and started working out the first problem. Almost immediately, I saw I’d made a mistake. “Wrong again!” I thought. “You can’t do anything right!” I tore the paper out of my notebook, balled it up in my fist and threw it at the wastepaper basket. The ball landed on the floor, I heard my mother’s voice in my head, “Why can’t you keep your room clean?”
By the time I finished my homework, the floor was littered with crumpled(弄皱的) paper. It gave me a kind of satisfaction to see the mess I’d made, like it was proof of all my shortcomings. Every time I looked at those crumpled balls, I reminded myself what a failure I was. But my unhappiness stayed hidden away, just like those mistakes. With my face a mask of indifference, no one knew how I was really feeling. Who would want to listen?
One day, I came home to an empty house. It was a relief not to be met with Mom’s latest complaint. “Nothing I do is right in her eyes,” I thought, “or anyone else’s, including mine.”

④考查动词不定式。句意:在中国,中秋节期间,家人会聚在一起赏月、吃月饼。分析句子可知,这里为非谓语动词担当目的状语,用动词不定式。故填to admire。
⑤考查连词。句意:习俗在节日中扮演着重要的角色,但它们会随着时间而改变。分析句子可知,前一分句"Customs play a significant role in festivals"和"they can change over time"之间存在转折关系。故填but。
⑥考查动名词。句意:例如,一些中国城市不再允许在春节期间燃放鞭炮,因为这会增加空气污染。allow doing sth."允许做某事"。非谓语动词担当allow的宾语,用动名词形式。故填lighting。
⑦考查形容词。句意:节日变得越来越商业化,人们在礼物上花更多的钱,这导致了不同的观点。形容词在句中担当表语。故填commercial。
⑧考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意:节日变得越来越商业化,人们在礼物上花更多的钱,这导致了不同的观点。分析句子可知,这里为定语从句的谓语动词,根据上下文可知,本句时态为现在完成时或一般现在时;主语为which,代指主句一句话,视作单数;和动词result之间为主动关系。故填results/has resulted。
⑨考查冠词。句意:节日是社会的重要组成部分。它们反映了人们的愿望、信念、信仰和对生活的态度。修饰单数名词part,泛指,用不定冠词;important发音为元音音素开头,用不定冠词an。故填an。
⑩考查介词。句意:节日是社会的重要组成部分。它们反映了人们的愿望、信念、信仰和对生活的态度。短语attitudes to/toward/towards...,意为"对……的态度"。故填to/toward/towards。
33、答案：
Dear fellow students,
I’m honored to introduce World Book Day here. Set up by the UNESCO in 1995, it falls on April 23rd every year, aimed at encouraging people to enjoy the pleasure of reading.
As we all know, reading enriches our mind and broadens our vision, making us more knowledgeable. Besides, it helps cultivate our taste and brings us relaxation and joy. As Francis Bacon said, “reading makes a full man.” Therefore, I call on us to form the habit of reading more books. I am sure we will benefit a lot.(呼吁)
Thanks for your listening.(致谢)
34、答案：
Paragraph 1:
When I opened my bedroom door, I froze at the sight of a neat and orderly room. Mom had obviously decided to clean it herself. I was surprised to see the clean floor below my bed. All the crumpled paper had disappeared, except one. A single sheet lay in plain view. I picked up the sheet and recognized Mom’s perfect handwriting, saying "I have found that I have also been very hard on you lately. For that, I am truly sorry. I only expect that you are to be your same sweet self."
Paragraph 2:
I sat down at my desk, staring at those words. I realized that Mom still loved me the same way. When she got home, I found the confidence to let my guard down and talk to her about how I felt. She and my father teamed up to offer some ideas that might help, like joining after-school clubs. It seemed everything changed in high school, but one heartfelt note set the stage for the rest of my teenage years.
