一、阅读理解

From a multi-day hike following the routes of a Japanese poet, to a classic climb in the Argentinian Lake District, there are thousands of incredible trails (小路) that allow us to get up close to nature.

Appalachian Trail, United States

Extending for 2,200 miles, the Appalachian Trail is listed as the longest hiking-only footpath in the world. It runs from Springier Mountain in Georgia to Mount Katahdin in Maine, passing through some of the most remote country in the United States. That means it’s a hard task, either for those with endless vacation allowance, or walkers looking to do a small piece of a classic route.

The Basho Wayfarer, Japan

This self-guided trip follows a route taken by the poet Matsuo Basho over 300 years ago. The six-day hike starts in Sendai and works its way through the northern Tohoku region, passing through the UNESCO World Heritage (遗产)Site of Hiraizumi and along the ancient Dewa Kaido path. With its beech and cherry forests, it finishes at the temple of Yamadera.

Mount Toubkal, Morocco

The path upwards rises from the village of Imlil, passing over a dry river bed before rising sharply through a temple and on towards a large mountain cottage. After overnight here, hikers set off up the snowfield to the peak, where the Atlas Mountains open out and the views are breathtaking. A local guide and muleteers for carrying luggage are a must.

The Dingle Way, Ireland

It is a ring-like path that offers the best way to get under the skin of wild County Kerry in Ireland’s south west. Starting in the town of Tralee, the clockwise path follows narrow roads, taking in the wide sweep of sand at Inch Strand, passing along the clifftops outside Dingle town and heading around the edge of Mount Brardon, the highest peak on the Dingle Peninsula.

1．What do we know about the Basho Wayfarer?

A．It offers no guide service. B．It was built by a poet.

C．It ends in the northern Tohoku region. D．It is on the world heritage list.

2．Where can hikers enjoy a good view of snow?

A．Appalachian Trail. B．The Basho Wayfarer.

C．Mount Toubkal. D．The Dingle Way.

3．What is special about the Dingle Way?

A．It follows a circle path. B．It is the longest in the world.

C．It finishes at Mount Brandon. D．It reaches the highest peak in Ireland.

Ke’Nyzjah Ferebee was standing by the kitchen worktop, adding cupcake liners to a pan. She used an ice cream spoon to fill each with cake batter (面糊) to ensure they would look identical. A finished group sat on the counter with white buttercream turning on top. The cupcakes were for a 2-year-old’s “Moana”-themed birthday party. The next day, she had orders for a two-tiered cake and two birthday cakes.

While most teenagers are spending the summer hanging out with friends and working, Ke’Nyzjah is filling orders, updating her website and getting new branding photos. She owns and operates KayKe Bakery, a home-based business, specializing in custom cakes and cupcakes. She offers 14 flavors. She requires at least two to four weeks’ notice on orders, and she gets six to seven a week.

In 2020, she started baking out of boredom and a desire for cake. She asked her mom for a solution. Mom pointed her to a box of cake mix in the cupboard. Ke’Nyzjah’s first attempt failed. But she tried making more cakes the next day. She got better.

She watched hours of YouTube videos to come up with a recipe and to teach herself baking techniques. “Once I got on Instagram and started seeing other people’s decorated cakes, that’s when I got inspired to be a cake artist instead of just a baker,” she said. She took business classes such as digital marketing at her school. She also registered for a course to become a certified customer service specialist. It taught her how to talk to customers and get through a sale. She’s constantly trying to find more ways to promote her business and find new clients. “It’s a little difficult having to keep up with both my Instagram and my Facebook pages and managing school, personal life and a business. It can be a lot sometimes, but I manage.”

Nakesia Fercbec, Ke’Nyzjah’s mother, felt her daughter’s father has been influential. Ke’Nyzjah gives her mother a large of the credit. “She’s like my biggest supporter. She’s made me who I am. I’ve come to realize that I am an incredible person.”

4．What was Ke’Nyzjah doing according to the first paragraph?

A．Designing a themed party. B．Making cakes for business.

C．Preparing for her birthday party. D．Placing an order for cakes online.

5．What can be inferred about Kayke Bakery?

A．It is well received. B．It hosts parties for customers.

C．It is a joint business. D．It mainly provides service for kids

6．What might be a challenge for Ke’Nyzjah?

A．Attending business classes. B．Teaching herself baking techniques.

C．Getting along with her clients. D．Balancing her business with schooling.

7．What is the text mainly about?

A．A home-based teen baker. B．A boredom-killing bakery.

C．How to become a cake artist. D．How to start a business.

Crossing Phoenix, Arizona, are 180 miles of canals. In 1867, the city’s founding father, Jack Swilling saw the remains of irrigation (灌溉) channels wandering across the landscape. He realized that, centuries before, some society had farmed this desert. Soon after, Swilling began clearing the blocked canals to bring agriculture back to the region.

Three years later, Swilling and other pioneers met to consider names for their settlement. The top two were Pumpkinville and Stonewall. Luckily, English adventurer Darrell Duppa proposed a name inspired by the resurrection (复兴) of the canals. “A great race once lived here and another great race will live here in the future,” he considered. “I predict that a new city will spring, phoenix-like, from the ruins and ashes of the old.”

Gary Huckleberry, a researcher, said, “In the southwest, we have some serious issues to deal with in terms of water. The Colorado River is the main source of water for the southwest and it’s over distributed. We’ve got population growth and climate change. How are we going to deal with that? I think there’s something to be learned by looking at past societies who managed water for thousands of years.”

That great society was the Hohokam. Between 100 and 1450 AD, they constructed 1,000 miles of canals. As the Hohokam expanded their network, they constantly repaired, cleaned and diverted the canals. “It requires cooperation, because all the users of the water from that canal have to agree not only to construct it, but also to maintain it,” Henderson, a scientist, said. “Users would have to agree to certain conditions to keep the entire system going.” The Hohokam committed to sharing water and put themselves on timetables.

The Hohokam used canal irrigation for 3,000 years. “That, to me, is the definition of sustainable development,” Huckleberry said. “They learned how to sustainably farm, to manage water, to not destroy their soils in a way that is worthy and might give us insight into how we might deal with the current trouble. I think one of the key lessons is that you don’t put all your eggs in one basket.”

8．What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?

A．The reconstruction of canals. B．The origin of the city’s name Phoenix.

C．The discovery of the irrigation channels. D．The agricultural development in the settlement.

9．What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 3 refer to?

A．The source of water. B．The climate change.

C．The population growth. D．The over-distribution of water.

10．What does Henderson say about the Hohokam?

A．They were expert in farming. B．They were poor at time management.

C．They had a strong sense of team spirit. D．They fought for their rights to use water.

11．Which of the following would Huckleberry agree with?

A．Canal irrigation is out of date. B．Sustainable development matters.

C．Farming can solve current trouble. D．The loss of soils is worse than before.

Researchers in Singapore have developed an electronic material that helps robots sense and touch nearby objects.

The material is a kind of foam: a solid substance that is filled with air and is soft. And the foam has another useful quality. It repairs itself when damaged, much like human skin. The material is called AiFoam, which is short for artificially innervated foam. To innervate means to supply with nerves. In robots, AiFoam would gather information from nearby and send it to a computer controlling the robot. AiFoam is a stretchy polymer (聚合物) combined with a mixture that lowers surface tension. This means that if you cut the material, it can return easily into one piece.

To copy the human sense of touch, the researchers mixed microscopic pieces of metal into the material. Then they added very small electrical connections beneath the surface of the foam.

Benjamin Tee, a lead researcher on the new material at the National University of Singapore, said that when there is pressure on the material, the metal particles (颗粒) get closer. The movement changes their electrical properties. The electrical connections sense these changes and send information about them to a computer, which then tells the robot what to do.

“When I move my finger near the sensor, you can see the sensor is measuring the changes of my electrical field and responds accordingly to my touch,” he said. The robotic hand senses not only the amount but also the direction of the force placed on it. That could make robots more intelligent and responsive.

Tee said AiFoam is the first material of its kind to combine self-repairing properties with nearness and pressure sensing. After spending over two years developing it, Tee and his team hope the material can be put to use within five years.

12．What is one feature of AiFoam?

A．It is made out of air. B．It is a low-cost material.

C．It has self-repairing ability. D．It can replace human skin.

13．How does the author develop paragraph 2?

A．By giving instructions. B．By listing examples.

C．By making comparisons. D．By offering explanations.

14．Which of the following gives orders to the robot?

A．Benjamin Tee. B．The researcher.

C．The sensor. D．The computer.

15．What can we learn about AiFoam from the last two paragraphs?

A．It can measure the shape of your finger.

B．It can change the direction of the force.

C．It will come onto the market in the near future.

D．It makes robots more sensitive than human beings.

二、七选五

Hurricane season can be wild and unpredictable.____16____Here are some ways you can beef up your home security in hurricane weather, even if you need to move out.

____17____That actually does nothing to ensure your safety in the powerful winds. Sticking to hurricane shelters or plywood (胶合板) is the only way to go when it comes to protecting those points of entry in hurricane conditions. Buy sheets of plywood,measure your windows and use brackets (支架) to hold the plywood in place.

Sandbags are very useful. While sandbags won’t be able to help in the extreme storm, many people will be able to prevent flooding and extensive damage to their belongings by placing sandbags. ____18____Any storm water that is kept out of your home is storm water that won’t be able to damage the belongings inside your home, so sandbags are well worth having at your doorways during a hurricane.

It’s important to prepare the inside of your home for strong winds and rain. But you should also keep an eye on the outside of your house, too. Trim (修剪) trees, especially dead branches, to prevent anything else that could fly through a window and cause damage during a hurricane.  ____19____

You should also take pictures of expensive items like electronics and keep notes of their serial numbers. ____20____Also, there are always bad people out right after a storm. If the worst happens and your home is broken into right after a bad storm, having pictures and detailed notes about what was in your home prior to the hurricane will make it easier for police to track down stolen items.

A．You should have a camera at home.

B．It can be strong enough to resist the forceful winds.

C．Making sure nothing is loose in your yard is important.

D．You may see people taping windows before a hurricane comes.

E．They will be able to effectively keep storm water out in many cases.

F．It will aid with your insurance company if anything needs to be replaced.

G．These dangerous storms can bring damage to your home and belongings.

六、读后续写

47．阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

December 1952 in Wisconsin was bitterly cold. A curious 7-year-old, I was in hesitation when my father arrived home from work with something hidden in his jacket. “Guess what I have,” he said. He slowly unwrapped the jacket to take out a frozen owl (猫头鹰). He’d found the frozen bird on his car when he left work and guessed that it had flown into the windshield (挡风玻璃).

Dad thought it might be alive and wanted to let it warm up. My mother agreed to let the bird stay overnight, so Dad and I took it to the basement( 地下室) and carefully laid it near our coal stove. I was the first one into the kitchen the next morning for a bowl of cereal (麦片). I found the owl resting on the sugar bowl as if waiting for its breakfast. I hurried to tell my parents that the owl was alive and sitting at the kitchen table. Mom didn’t like that it was in the kitchen and wanted it out of the house.

Dad instructed me to open the back door while he forced the owl toward me. I heard the flapping of wings, but before I could direct its flight outside, the owl turned around away from the cold air coming in the door and flew past me, down the stairs into the shelter of the warm basement. Resting in the space near the top of the basement, the owl was safely beyond our reach. We tried driving it out with a broom, but it calmly flew to the far side of the basement. Soon Dad and I were laughing too hard to continue, and we realized there was no way we could drive the owl out if it wanted to stay. Mom agreed to have it in the house until Dad could catch it when it became weak from hunger. But that never happened.

46．One possible version:

Dear David,

How is everything going? I’m sorry to tell you that some adjustments have been made to the two-day Agricultural Field Trip, which was scheduled for this Friday.

According to the latest weather report, there’s going to be a heavy rain this Friday. Thus, our school has decided to put off the field trip until it gets better. Weather permitting, the activity may take place next Friday. I will let you know once it is confirmed. I hope the unexpected change won’t cause you much inconvenience.

Best wishes!

Yours,

Li Hua

47．One possible version:

The door didn’t shut properly, which allowed mice into the basement. In the days that followed, the owl caught the mice in the basement and enjoyed every meal of them. Before long, it became so fat that Dad might have easily caught it. But he didn’t. Even Mom never asked him to drive it out of the house. I usually showed my friends the owl that lived in my basement and explained its eating habits. Time passed quickly and three months went by before we knew it.

As spring arrived, we knew it was time for the owl to leave. On a warm afternoon, we decided to set the bird free. I opened the door, though I hated to do it. The owl seemed to read our minds and flew out into the tall pear tree in our backyard. We observed it around the neighborhood for a few more days and then it was gone. We felt a sense of loss. We took comfort knowing it was free and healthy, if a bit overweight.
