I picked up my two best friends and we were off on a road trip. I had just returned to America from a year abroad in China. So, naturally I wanted to take a trip to Canada.
Montreal, the second largest city in Canada, is a four-hour drive from my home in New Hampshire. We felt a thrill as we crossed the border into Canada. It was the first time I had ever driven across an international border. We turned on the radio to try and find some Canadian stations.
After dropping off our bags at our hotel, we were immediately walking down the famous St Catherine’s Street. While we walked, two things surprised us: how cold it was and how well everyone dressed. The streets of Montreal are like a fashion show. Both men and women look like they stepped out of the pages of a magazine.  
All of that fashion has to keep them warm since Montreal is so cold. Last year it broke the record for the most snowfall in North America. To hide from the cold we went into a small diner because we wanted to order Poutine, a very popular snack in Montreal. It is French fries covered in cheese and brown gravy (肉汁). It is delicious.
However, we had a hard time ordering the dish since the official language of Montreal is French. It is actually the fifth largest French-speaking city in the world. But since the rest of Canada speak English, plenty of people were there to help.
We spent the rest of the weekend going to many historical churches and monuments in Montreal. But at night we’d head to the very modern dance clubs and bars. Montreal is a city that sits between the past and the future and the traveller can choose whichever direction he wants to go.

　　If you are planning on traveling, there are a few simple rules about how to make life easier both before and after your journey.
First of all, always check and double check departure (出发) time. It is surprising how few people really do this carefully. Once I arrived at the airport a few minutes after ten. My secretary had got the ticket for me and I thought she had said that the plane left at 10: 50. When I arrived at the airport, the person at the departure desk told me that my flight was closed. Therefore, I had to wait three hours for the next one and missed an important meeting.
The second rule is to remember that even in this age of credit cards (信用卡), it is still important to have some local money in cash (现金). Once I arrived at a place at midnight and the bank at the airport was closed. The only way to get to my hotel was by taxi but because I had no dollars, I offered to pay in pounds instead. “Listen! I only take real money! ” the driver said angrily. You can imagine how terrible I felt at that moment.
The third and the last rule is to find out as much as you can about the weather at your destination before you leave. I feel sorry for some of my workmates who travel in heavy suits and raincoats in May, when it is still fairly cool in London or Manchester, to places like Athens, Rome or Madrid, where it is already beginning to get quite warm during the day.
【文章大意】本文为说明文, 主要介绍了如何做好旅行的准备工作。

A. Britain. 　　　　　　 B. The USA.
C. Italy. D. Greece.
【解析】选A。推理判断题。根据第三段中的“I offered to pay in pounds instead. ”和最后一段的“when it is still fairly cool in London or Manchester”可知A为正确选项。

A. asked the driver to give him a free ride
B. offered to pay in pounds
C. gave the driver some fake (假的) money
D. tried to pay by credit card
【解析】选B。细节理解题。根据第三段的“I offered to pay in pounds instead. ”可知答案。

While elephants born without tusks (长牙)are not unheard of, they normally form just 2 to 6 percent of the population. However, that is not the case at Mozambique’s Gorongosa National Park, where an astonishing 33 percent of female elephants born after the country’s conflict ended in 1992 are tuskless. While that may appear to be just a coincidence, Joyce Poole, an elephant behavior expert, has another theory. The researcher thinks we may be witnessing unnatural evolution of the species due to the constant hunting of elephants for valuable ivory.
Poole says before the country’s 15-year-long conflict, the park was home to over 4, 000 elephants. However, by the time the conflict ended in 1992, about 90 percent of them had been killed for ivory to get money. Of the less than 200 survivors, over 50 percent of adult females had no tusks. Therefore, it is not surprising that the park’s tuskless elephant population has grown greatly.
This is not the first time researchers have observed a great change in the population of elephants. At Zambia’s South Luangwa National Park and Lupande Game Management Area, areas which were heavily hunted in the 1970s and 1980s, 35% of elephants 25 years old or older and 13% of those younger than 25 are now without tusks. A 2008 study published in the African Journal of Ecology found that the number of tuskless females at the Ruaha National Park in Tanzania went from 10. 5 percent in 1969 to almost 40 percent in 1989, largely due to illegal hunting for ivory.
The recent ban on ivory in both the US and China should help get rid of, or at least reduce, elephant hunting. However, scientists are not sure how long it will take for elephants with a higher rate of tuskless females, to change the trend.  
【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文。1992年, 在莫桑比克的Gorongosa国家公园, 有33%的雌象出生时就没有长牙, 大象行为专家认为, 这是由人们为了获得珍贵的象牙而对大象进行持续不断地猎杀而造成的非自然的进化。
32. What is the probable cause of the phenomenon mentioned in Paragraph 1?
A. Illegal hunting. 　　　　 B. Constant farming.
C. A pure coincidence. D. Natural evolution.
【解析】选A。细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句可知, 这位研究人员认为, 由于持续不断地猎杀大象以获取珍贵的象牙, 我们可能正在目睹该物种的非自然进化。据此可知, 第一段中提到的现象的可能原因是非法猎杀, 故A项正确。
33. Why did people kill so many elephants during the conflict in Mozambique?
A. To get money by selling ivory.
B. To develop new decorations.
C. To provide food for local people.
D. To make ivory products.
【解析】选A。细节理解题。根据第二段第二句可知, 人们猎杀大象是为了通过销售象牙来获利, 故A项正确。
34. Which of the following had the earliest record on tuskless elephants?
A. Gorongosa National Park.
B. South Luangwa National Park.
C. Ruaha National Park.
D. Lupande Game Management Area.
【解析】选C。细节理解题。根据第一段第二句可知, 在莫桑比克的Gorongosa国家公园, 在1992年有33%的雌象出生时无长牙; 根据第三段最后一句可知, Ruaha国家公园在1969年有10. 5%的无长牙雌象, 到1989年时, 有大约40%的无长牙雌象; 据此可知, Ruaha国家公园是最早记录无长牙雌象的地区, 故C项正确。
35. What does the underlined phrase “the trend” in the last paragraph refer to?
A. Elephants facing greater danger.
B. Elephants growing more slowly.
C. Fewer female elephants staying alive.
D. More female elephants being tuskless.
【解析】选D。词义猜测题。根据最后一段第一句可知, 最近美国和中国都颁布了象牙禁令, 这应该有助于消除或至少减少对大象的猎杀; 结合该段第二句可知, 科学家们并不确定对拥有较高比例无长牙雌象的大象们来说需要多长时间才能改变这种趋势。据此可推知, 画线词指代“更多的雌象没有长牙”这一趋势, 故D项正确。

　　Tips for Green Travel with Kids
Traveling doesn’t mean letting go of all the eco-friendly choices we work so hard to achieve in our daily life. Here are a few tips for green travel with kids:
Booking nonstop flights whenever possible will reduce carbon emissions (碳排放). If the closest local airport doesn’t have nonstop flights to a certain place, check in with other local airports to see if nonstop flights are available. 　36　 
Whether you’re flying or driving, it’s easy when traveling to pull into fast food restaurants for snacks. 　37　 My kids love to help plan snacks. I let them create their own snacks for the trip at home.  
Reusable water bottles are easy to bring along whenever you travel. At the airport, keep your reusable bottles empty until you have passed through the security (安检). 　38　Single-use plastic water bottles create unnecessary waste and the plastic can be harmful to your health.  
　39　 Open a few windows and turn off the air conditioner. You should also help your children keep their good, green habits from home to place while traveling. Sometimes vacation can mean more than one shower each day — once in the morning and again after getting out of the pool. Pay attention to the number of showers and the length of showers. 　40　 
A. In this way, you can save water and energy.
B. Security check is a necessary part of each trip.
C. But you can pack healthy food before starting off.
D. Fill them up on the other side of the security checkpoint.
E. Too much carbon emissions seriously pollute the environment.
F. Save energy by turning off the hotel room lights when you head out for the day.
G. You might have to drive a bit further, but saving on carbon emissions makes it worthwhile.
【文章大意】本文是说明文。文章就我们在日常生活中可以做到的环保行为以及绿色出行给出了几点建议。
36. 【解析】选G。根据上文可知, 本段介绍的小建议是宁可多开会儿车, 也要驱车前往有直达航班的机场, 以此减少碳排放量。
37. 【解析】选C。根据上文的“旅途中很容易找到快餐店吃零食”, 结合下文的“我的孩子喜欢在家制作旅行的零食”可知, 前后有转折关系, 且和食物有关。故C项“但是你可以在出发前打包健康的食物。”符合本段语境。
38. 【解析】选D。根据上文可知, 本段绿色出行小建议为重复使用水瓶。因为带重复利用的空瓶子进安检, 所以需要过了安检后再装水喝。故D项“在安全检查站的另一边把它们装满。”符合本段语境。
39. 【解析】选F。根据下文可知, 这里讲的都是旅行中住酒店的一些环保小习惯。因此F项“当你出门的时候, 关掉旅馆房间的灯来节省能源。”也是住旅店的一种节能环保习惯, 符合此处语境。
40. 【解析】选A。根据上文可知, 这种行为可以节约水资源。故A项“这样, 你可以节约水和能源。” 符合此处语境。

Dear Tom,
I’m glad to share a truly unforgettable travel experience that I had during my last summer holiday with you.
On July 7, my parents and I took a bus to Leshan, Sichuan Province, which is famous for its Buddha. The Buddha is really big. Looking up at the large head and down at the large feet, I felt I was so small. The next day, we climbed Mount Emei, where there are many old temples and wild monkeys. The naughty monkeys were the most exciting things I experienced there. Toward evening we made our way back. We were all tired, but our trip to Leshan was really enjoyable.
I’m looking forward to going there with you next time.
Yours,
Li Hua

(2021·长沙高二检测)
My in-laws(公公婆婆)loved to travel and every winter would visit different countries. While they were gone, some friends moved into their house so it would not be left empty. This year it was decided that I would be the one to move into their house. Fortunately, I was allowed to return home on the weekend.
I tried to keep myself busy. Each day I walked down to the bottom of the driveway to collect the mail, sewed curtains for four large windows, filled the bird feeders, cleaned the house from top to bottom. watched an occasional TV show and spent a disappointing couple of hours trying to get on the dial-up Internet. Chatting with friends and family on the phone helped comfort me, but these conversations and the simple chores didn’t totally fill my time. Basically I did whatever I could to keep my mind off the fact that I was there alone.
On Friday I would head back to the city to meet up with friends and spend time with my husband and our family. On Monday, the car filled with groceries. I’d make the drive back to my in-laws’ house.
During my third week in the country the temperature dropped and a massive snowstorm set in. The driveway was filled quickly with wet, heavy snow. I hadn’t seen that much snow since I was a child and lovely as it was. I feared that I wouldn’t be able to get out. It was very cold and every day the snow kept falling. On Thursday night it started to rain. With a sinking heart I knew I wouldn’t be going home that weekend.
Disappointed and feeling very low, I worried about not having enough food. What would I do if the power went out? What if I fell ill?
Friday morning I awoke to a winter wonderland. The trees were weighed down with ice and the surrounding countryside was blanketed in a deep hill of unbroken white. I felt very helpless.

　　Suddenly I heard a noise and I quickly ran across the room to the window. It was freezing cold outside, the light wind blowing into the house. I saw a man that I had never met clearing the driveway. The noise I heard was him trying to break through the ice with nothing more than a clearing tool. Who was this man? Why was he clearing the driveway? Although the man wore a thick coat and a scarf, he still felt bitterly cold.
As I stood there watching, I realized that I might have a slim chance that I would get out. Thrilled, I put on my coat and boots and went out to help him. It took us four hours to clear that driveway. He did most of the heavy work. It turned out that he was my in-laws’ closest neighbour and before they left, Mom had asked him to take good care of me. She also explained to him how important it was for me to go back to the city on the weekend. My heart was filled with thankfulness to my in-laws and this kind man.
