Dreaming of summer picnics filled with family and fun? We’ve come up with 4 of the top picnic areas across the US.
Cumberland Islands, Georgia
Just a few hours south of Savannah, this national seashore is a wonderful picnic place. It’s an unspoiled place in the Deep South with over 50 miles of hiking trails (小径). Covered in Spanish moss, the trails are lined with trees and since it’s still a rural area, the stars line up for a grand show at night and create the perfect evening starlit picnic opportunity.
Grant Park, Chicago
If you are looking for delicious food in Chicago, go for a taste of a 20-day, lake-front, foodie festival that happens in October each year. Grab a spot near the fountain to enjoy your picnic, appreciate the city scenery and lake views and relax with family and friends. If you are there on July 4th, be sure to plan the day to include the fireworks display at the Navy Pier.
Cranberry Islands, Maine
Here you’ll enjoy natural picnics with island views. The islands are a delightful group of islands about 20 minutes offshore from Acadia National Park. You can visit the islands by private boat or ferry service. Bring a picnic basket along for the ride as it’s a romantic picnic area to take your special someone or go for a family outing to visit the islands.
Big Sur, California
The Point Lobos State Reserve is a small gem. Besides the coastal wildlife there are rare plant communities, and unique geological formations. It’s good to have a picnic there. We recommend bringing a telescope, because much of the wildlife can be seen only at a distance.
1. Why does the writer advise us to go to Cumberland Islands?
A. Because they are just next to Savannah.
B. Because they have a grand show every night.
C. Because they are almost covered in Spanish moss.
D. Because they keep their original ecology (生态).
2. Where can you enjoy observing wildlife with a telescope?
A. At the Navy Pier. B. At the Point Lobos State Reserve
C. At Acadia National Park. D. In the Deep South.
3. Where can we most probably read this passage?

One of my favorite hobbies is exchanging old-fashioned, paper-with-a-stamp-on-it postcards with random strangers around the world.
The Postcrossing Project was created by Paulo Magalhaes in 2005. He liked getting mails—especially postcards. He thought others did, too—but how could he connect with them? That’s when he came up with the idea of an online platform (postcrossing.com): There, postcard lovers like me can sign up to send a postcard to someone who has registered online, and receive a postcard in return.
Along with a randomly selected address, participants get a unique code to put on the postcard. When the postcard arrives, the recipient registers that code with the site, which then causes the sender’s address to be given to another postcrosser in turn. In practice, this means that for nearly every postcard I send (a few get lost in the mail) I get one back. And since I never know who will send me a card or where in the world they live, every trip to the mailbox holds the potential for a wonderful surprise.
Privacy-conscious Americans might worry about sharing their address with strangers overseas. But postcrossers are friendly, polite, respectful folks—in more than 450 cards exchanged, I've yet to have a bad experience.
On days when the international news is depressing, postcrossing is my comfort. There’s nothing like getting a card from a child in China just learning to write in English, or a grandmother in Belarus describing her most recent gardening success to remind me that we truly are members of one global family, far more similar than we are different.
It seems like such a small thing to send out a postcard. But as travel and communication technology continue to shrink the world, it’s important to remember that it isn’t just for diplomats and politicians to represent our country anymore. All of us have the power—and perhaps the responsibility—to be ambassadors, to show the best of your country to the world.
And it's good to know that what you need to accomplish this is not necessarily complicated or expensive. It can be as simple as a postcard.
4. Why did Paulo set up postcrossing.com ?
A. To discuss personal hobbies with strangers.
B. To exchange postcards with others in the world
C. To collect different postcards from other countries..
D. To provide a platform for communication online.
5. According to the passage, postcrossers __________.
A. don't know who will send them postcards
B. are sure to get a postcard back immediately
C. often choose a receiver's address carefully
D. register every postcard they receive online
6. What did the writer learn from postcrossing?
A. The international news is usually depressing.
B. Americans are more conscious about privacy.
C. Postcrossers sometimes describe their bad experience.
D. The whole world is actually a big family.
7. What does the underlined word "this" refer to?
A. Choosing a diplomat to represent a country.
B. Having the responsibility to be an ambassador.
C. Showing the best of your country.
D. Shrinking the world with communication technology.
【答案】4. B 5. A 6. D 7. C
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了postcrossing.com网站，一个可以让世界各地的陌生人交换老式的、带有邮票的明信片的网站，由Paulo Magalhaes 在2005年创立。文章说明了在这个网站和他人交换明信片的方式，以及作者认为这是一种能够向世界展示自己国家最好的一面的方式，而且它并不复杂也不昂贵。
4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中That’s when he came up with the idea of an online platform (postcrossing.com): There, postcard lovers like me can sign up to send a postcard to someone who has registered online, and receive a postcard in return.（就在那时，他想到了一个在线平台(postcrossing.com):在那里，像我这样的明信片爱好者可以注册，向网上注册的用户发送明信片，并收到明信片作为回报。）可知保罗建立了postcrossing.com是为了和世界上的其他人交换明信片。故选B。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中And since I never know who will send me a card or where in the world they live, every trip to the mailbox holds the potential for a wonderful surprise.（因为我不知道谁会给我寄贺卡，也不知道他们住在世界的什么地方，所以每次去邮箱都有可能带来惊喜。）可知postcrosser并不知道谁会给他们寄明信片。故选A。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第三段中There’s nothing like getting a card from a child in China just learning to write in English, or a grandmother in Belarus describing her most recent gardening success to remind me that we truly are members of one global family, far more similar than we are different.（在中国，没有什么比收到孩子们寄来的贺卡更能提醒我，我们是同一个全球大家庭的一员，相似之处远远多于不同之处。）可知作者从postcrossing中认识整个世界实际上是一个大家庭。故选D。
【7题详解】
词义猜测题。结合上文All of us have the power—and perhaps the responsibility—to be ambassadors, to show the best of your country to the world.（我们所有人都有能力——或许也有责任——成为大使，向世界展示你们国家最好的一面。）可知要向世界展示自己国家最好的一面，你需要做的并不复杂也不昂贵。故this指代“展示你国家最好的一面。”故选C。
C
City trees grow faster and die younger than trees in rural forestry, a new study finds. Over their lifetimes,then, urban trees will likely absorb less CO2 from the air thah forest trees.
As we all know, the earth would be freezing or burning hot without C02. However, CO2 is a greenhouse gas, meaning it traps energy from the sun as/heat. That makes temperatures near the ground rise. Human activities, especially the widespread burning-of fossil(化石）fuels，have been sending extra greenhouse gases into the air. This has led to a rise in average temperatures across the globe.
Studies had shown forests readily absorb C02，but there hadn’t been much data on whether city trees grow， die and absorb CO2 at the same rate as forest trees do. So some researchers decided to find out.
To figure out how quickly trees were growing, researchers tracked their diameters (the width of their trunks) between 2005 and 2014. A tree’s diameter increases as it grows, just as a person’s waist size increases as they gain weight. About half the weight of a tree is carbon, research has shown. Most of the rest is water. Over the nine years’ tracking, the researchers found city trees absorbed four times as much carbon from the air as forest trees. However, they were twice as likely to die. So over the lifetime of each type of tree, forest trees actually absorbed more C02.
City trees grew faster because they had less competition for light from their neighbors. In a forest，trees tend to grow close together，shading their neighbors. Street trees also benefit from higher levels of nitrogen (氮）in rainwater. Nitrogen helps plants grow. Waste gases from gas-burning cars also contain nitrogen, thus enriching city air with nitrogen. Later, rainwater may wash much of it to the ground. Some street trees may also have better access to water than trees in the country because the underground water pipes can leak.
8. What can he known about CO2 from paragraph 2?
A. It is one of the side effects of greenhouses.
B. It greatly accelerates the process of global warming.
C. It results from the widespread burning of fossil fuels.
D. It prevents the earth from becoming unsuitable to live on.
9. Why did researchers track the diameters of trees?
A. To know about their growth rates.
B. To find out how much they weigh.
C. To check whether they were healthy.
D. To assess the carbon amounts in them.
10. What advantage do city trees have over forest trees?
A. They are more likely to access growth promoters.
B. They can enjoy more water coming from the air.
C. They can enjoy more shade from neighbors.
D. They are better at competing for light.
11. What will probably be talked about if the passage is continued?
A. How urban trees can live longer.
B. Why city living makes trees die young.
C. How trees respond to dry soil conditions.
D. Why faster-growing trees absorb more C02.
【答案】8. D 9. A 10. A 11. B
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。一项新的研究发现：与长在森林中的树木相比，城市里的树木长得更快，但死得更早。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中the earth would be freezing or burning hot without CO2.可知，如果没有二氧化碳，地球将会极冷或极热。可以推断，二氧化碳可以防止地球变得不适合居住。故选D项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中To figure on how quickly trees were growing, researchers tracked their diameters.可知，研究人员监测树木的直径是为了了解树木的生长速度。故选A项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段内容Street trees also benefit from higher levels of nitrogen (氮）in rainwater. Nitrogen helps plants grow. Waste gases from gas-burning cars also contain nitrogen, thus enriching city air with nitrogen. Later, rainwater may wash much of it to the ground.可知，与生长在森林中的树木相比，城市里的树木长得更快是因为它们无需与邻近的树木争夺光照，也能得到更多的氮量，还更容易得到水。光、氮和水都可以促进树木的生长。由此可以推断，城市里的树木比森林中的树木更可能获得生长促进剂。故选A项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。文章首句就提到了一项新的研究结果：城市里的树木比森林中的树木长得更快，但死得更早；文章第三段说到“以前有研究表明森林会吸收二氧化碳，但是城市里的树木的生长、死亡和吸收二氧化碳的速度是否跟森林中的树木一样，这方面的数据不多。因此一些研究人员决定弄清楚”；文章第四段再次介绍了他们的研究发现：城市里的树木比森林中的树木长得更快，但死得更早；文章最后一段介绍了城市里的树木比森林中的树木生长得更快的几个原因。由此可以推断，文章接下来很可能就要介绍城市里的树木死得更早的原因。故选B项。
D
Artificial intelligence can predict when patients with a heart disorder will die, according to scientists.
The software learned to analyze blood tests and scans of beating hearts to spot signs that the organ was about to fail. The team, from the UK’s Medical Research Council, said the technology could save lives by finding patients that need more aggressive treatment. The results were published in the Journal of Radiology.
According to the researchers, high blood pressure in the lungs damages part of the heart, and about a third of patients die within five years after being diagnosed. There are treatments: drugs, injections straight into the blood vessels, a lung transplant. But doctors need to have an idea of how long patients might have left, in order to pick the right treatment.
The software was given scans of 256 patients’ hearts, and blood test results. When this data was combined with eight years of patient health records, the artificial intelligence predicted when patients would die.
The software could look about five years into the future. It correctly predicted those who would still be alive after one year about 80% of the time. The figure for doctors is 60%.
The team now want to test the software works in other patients in different hospitals before assessing whether it should be made widely available to doctors. The researchers also want to use the technology in other forms of heart failure, such as cardiomyopathy, to see who might need a pacemaker or other forms of treatment.
Dr Mike Knapton, from the British Heart Foundation, said, “This exciting use of computer software in medical practice will help doctors in the future to make sure that patients are receiving the correct treatment before the condition deteriorates and leaves them needing a lung transplant. The next step is to test this technology in more hospitals with heart disease.”
12. What can artificial intelligence do according to the passage?
A. Predicting how long a person with heart disease can survive.
B. Helping doctors diagnose people with heart disease.
C. Obeying orders and reminding heart disease patients to take pills.
D. Producing medicine without side effects for heart disease patients.
13. What can we know about the software from the passage?
A. It can make accurate long-term predictions.
B. It has not yet been widely put into use.
C. It can prevent high blood pressure in the lungs damaging part of the heart.
D. It can help doctors make sure that patients are receiving the correct treatment.
14. The underlined word “deteriorates” in the last paragraph probably means “________.”
A. continues B. worsens
C. exists D. improves
15. The author’s purpose of writing the text is most likely to _________.
A advertise B. persuade
C. inform D. entertain
【答案】12. A 13. B 14. B 15. C
【解析】

【14题详解】
词义猜测题。结合下文leaves them needing a lung transplant病人需要进行肺移植，可知电脑软件在医疗实践中的应用，将有助于医生在未来确保病人在病情恶化并需要肺移植之前得到正确的治疗。故划线单词意思为“恶化”。故选B。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段Artificial intelligence can predict when patients with a heart disorder will die, according to scientists.（科学家称，人工智能可以预测心脏病患者何时会死亡。）以及文章主要内容为说明人工智能可以预测心脏病患者能存活多久，这项技术可以通过找到需要更积极治疗的病人来挽救生命。可知作者写这篇文章的目的最有可能是提供信息。故选C。

Twenty years ago, the prosperous high street(繁华商业区) was the heart of most cities. It was crowded with customers. ___16___Nowadays, high streets are declining, with very few shops and shoppers. With about 14 shops down every day, Britain’s high streets are dying little by little.___17___It’s fairly easy to understand. To start with, people are spending less because of the economic recession(衰退). On top of that, more and more people are using the Internet to do their shopping. And it is not easy for shopkeepers in the high streets, either. ___18___Finally, there are the out-of-town retail parks with free car parking that sell just about everything at very low prices.What can be done? Prime Minister David Cameron has hired Mary Portas, a British business woman and star of TV show Mary Queen of Shops, to bring some life back into Britain’s high streets.

本文是说明文。文章讲述英国繁华的商业区正走向衰落。
【16题详解】
根据空格后的句子Nowadays, high streets are declining, with very few shops and shoppers.如今，繁华程度大大降低，已经很少有商店和顾客了。可知，此处与句首的twenty years ago“二十年前”有逻辑上的转折关系。所以C选项“But that's all changed.但这一切都改变了。”符合上下文语境。故选C。
【17题详解】
根据空格后的句子It's fairly easy to understand.这很容易理解。所以可推知此处是询问，所以G选项“Why are high streets in such a desperate situation?为什么商业街会出现这样绝望的情况？”符合语境的要求。故选G。
【18题详解】
根据空格前的句子And it is not easy for shopkeepers in the high streets, either.对于店主来说，想要在商业街开店也是很不容易的。所以此处顺应前文，A选项“They have to pay increasing high rents.他们必须支付越来越高的租金。”可承接上文。故选A。
【19题详解】
根据空格前的句子Prime Minister David Cameron has hired Mary Portas, a British business woman and star of TV show Mary Queen of Shops, to bring some life back into Britain's high streets.可知首相卡梅伦启用了Mary Portas，想把生机重新带回到英国的商业街。以及后文提到了几种解决方法。所以可推知B选项“But he is not the only one to solve the problem.（但他不是唯一一个解决问题的人）”符合语境，可承前启后。故选B。
【20题详解】
根据空格后的句子where children can be cared for while parents are shopping.当父母去购物时，孩子在那里能得到照顾。所以可推知E选项“In another town, they set up a nursery,（在另一个镇上，他们建立了一个托儿所）”符合语境。故选E。

【点睛】主谓一致之就近原则
就近原则也称“邻近原则”“就近一致原则”，即谓语动词的形式与其最邻近的主语在人称和数上一致。
1. 由连词连接的并列主语
在由or，either …or，neither…nor，whether…or，not…but，not only…but (also)等连接的并列成分作主语时，其谓语通常要与靠近的主语保持一致。如：

Neither you nor I am wrong. 你和我都没错。
Not you but your father is to blame. 不是你，而是你的父亲该受责备。
Not only you but (also) he is wrong. 不仅你错了，他也错了。
如第14小题。句意：不仅汤姆，玛丽和我都喜欢踢足球。not only…but (also)等连接的并列成分作主语时，其谓语通常要与靠近的主语保持一致。即谓语动词与Mary and I保持一致，应用复数形式。故填are。
2. here/there引导的倒装句中的主语
由here或there引导的倒装句中，主语不止一个时，谓语动词的单复数形式通常和邻近的主语保持一致。试比较：
There is a pen and some books on the desk. 桌上有一支钢笔和几本书。
There are some books and a pen on the desk. 桌子上有几本书和一支钢笔。
3. “more than one+可数名词单数”与“many a +可数名词单数”作主语
“more than one+可数名词单数”与“many a +可数名词单数”作主语时，在意义上都是复数，但谓语动词要用单数形式，这是由与其邻近的单数名词所决定的。如：
Many a student has failed in the exam. 很多学生考试不及格。
You may find you have more than one strong learning style, which is a bonus…你或许会发现自己拥有不只一种较强的学习方法，这是一件好事……

(2)二看关系词的句法功能，即分清关系词是担任什么句子成分，是作主语还是宾语、是作定语还是状语等(如作定语通常用whose，有时也用which；作状语要用when, where, why)
(3)三看定语从句的种类，即分清是限制性定语从句还是非限制性定语从句(如that和why通常不引导非限制性定语从句)
如第四小题，句意：这是一个晚上的庆祝活动，家人聚在一起吃月饼。本句为“介词+关系代词”结构定语从句修饰先行词an evening celebration，且做介词in的宾语，指“庆祝”活动应用关系代词which。故填which。

【详解】1.考查动词时态。句意：我迫不及待地想告诉你我父母刚刚做出的决定。分析上文可知此处不存在“过去的过去”故不能用过去完成时，应用现在完成时。故had改为have。
2.考查形容词。句意：多么令人兴奋啊!此处表示这件事情令人兴奋，应用-ing结尾形容词做表语。故excited改为exciting。
3.考查代词。句意：作为家里的独生子女，大多数像我这样的青少年是孤独长大的，这对我们的心理健康是有害的。此处指代作者也是独生子女，应用第一人称的宾格形式，故you 改为me。

I am Li Hua, a senior 3 student. Recently, I’ve been busy preparing for my college Entrance Exam, but unfortunately I find it quite hard to concentrate on my study. So I’m writing to ask you a favor.
There are two main problems which I’m faced with. First, I have to spend so much time on my homework that I hardly have time to take sports. Moreover, the high expectation from the teachers and my parents makes me extremely stressed because I don’t want to let them down. What troubles me most is that it’s difficult for me to fall asleep every night.
