A
While there are still a lot of unknowns about the coming year, one thing is certain: we need an escape. With a vaccine (疫苗) finally greenlighted, the future of travel is looking up, but what will be the safest trips to take while the world is still in continuous change? Think wide open spaces, small-group adventures and responsible tourism. Playing it safe doesn’t mean you can’t get outside your comfort zone and have a novel adventure next year, though. Here are the friendly escapes we’re dreaming of right now.

01 The Great American E-Bike Trip
California to Georgia
Consider a human-powered road trip with a long cycling adventure—made more accessible with some power from an electric assist bike. Discover the beautiful and bizarre (奇异的), from the Mojave country on an e-bike-friendly tour. TDA Global Cycling’s Great American Road Trip can be done in full, or broken down to a 10-day trip to explore one region.

02 Swim with Whale Sharks
Espíritu Santo Island, Mexico
Dubbed “The Aquarium of the World” by Jacques Cousteau, the Sea of Cortez is one of the best spots in the world to swim with whale sharks and sea lions. Located in Mexico’s least-populated state, Baja California Sur, this island has a natural protected UNESCO World Heritage Site in the heart of it. There are no hotels, but Todos Santos Eco Adventures offers a solar-powered luxury camp experience on the island, private-chef included.

03 Soak in the Natural Wonders
Hokkaido, Japan
While the world waits for the 2021 Tokyo Olympics, consider Japan’s last-developed island as a refuge (庇护所) from the crowds. Rugged (崎岖的) and remote, Hokkaido is filled with unique natural wonders and adventures including trekking in untouched forests, fat biking on frozen lakes, soaking in onsens (温泉), or natural hot springs, and searching for the island’s rare red-crowned crane — the only place in Japan you can find the sacred bird.

04 See Kangaroo Island Bounce Back
Australia
Nearly a year after Australia’s bushfires destroyed over 200,000 hectares and killed billions of animals, new life is rising from the ashes. This 96-mile-long island is one of the best places to view Australia’s unique animals in the wild — kangaroos, koalas, wallabies and more. Support the recovery with regenerative (再生的) tourism, critical in reversing biodiversity loss. Swim with sea lions or sip some Jacob’s Creek local wine and watch the kangaroos bounce back.
36. What can you do on the E-Bike Trip from California to Georgia?
A. You can learn how to do recycling on the way.
B. You can complete the trip in small separate sections.
C. You can build up your strength with a human-powered bike.
D. You can improve your skills in handling an electric assist bike.
37 What does Swim with Whale Sharks and See Kangaroo Island Bounce Back have in common?
A. Animals on both islands are in danger of dying out.
B. They both offer solar-powered luxury camps on the sand.
C. Tourists can experience swimming with certain sea animals.
D. They are both natural protected UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
38. What can we learn from Paragraph 4?
A. Visitors can find their quietness on the island.
B. People can skate on frozen lakes on the island.
C. Red-crowned cranes can only be found in Japan.
D. Hokkaido is a remote and least-developed refuge.
39. What does the author want to tell us in the whole passage?
A. A long cycling adventure will be the safest trip to take in the future.
B. With appropriate medical measures the tourism industry will pick up.
C. Visitors should keep cautious about bushfires while visiting Australia.
D. Ecosystem has been disturbed since novel adventures became popular.
40. Where can the passage probably be taken from?
A. Science on a website. B. Sports in a newspaper.
C. Environment in a book. D. Travelling in a magazine.
【答案】36. B 37. C 38. A 39. B 40. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍的是疫情后外出旅行探险的好去处。
【36题详解】
细节理解题。根据01 The Great American E-Bike Trip部分的“TDA Global Cycling’s Great American Road Trip can be done in full, or broken down to a 10-day trip to explore one region.(TDA全球自行车的伟大的美国公路之旅可以完成全部，或分解成一个10天的旅行，探索一个地区)”可知，从加利福尼亚到佐治亚州的电动自行车之旅可以完整完成，也可以分成10天来完成。由此可知，此处的自行车之旅可以分段完成。故选B项。
【37题详解】
细节理解题。根据Swim with Whale Sharks部分中的“Dubbed “The Aquarium of the World” by Jacques Cousteau, the Sea of Cortez is one of the best spots in the world to swim with whale sharks and sea lions.(科尔特斯海被雅克·库斯托称为“世界水族馆”，是世界上与鲸鲨和海狮一起游泳的最佳地点之一)”和See Kangaroo Island Bounce Back部分的“Swim with sea lions or sip some Jacob’s Creek local wine and watch the kangaroos bounce back.(与海狮一起游泳，或啜饮雅各布溪当地的葡萄酒，观看袋鼠的反弹)”可知，这两处的共同之处在于可以体验与某些海洋动物一起游泳。故选C项。
【38题详解】
推理判断题。根据Soak in the Natural Wonders部分的“While the world waits for the 2021 Tokyo Olympics, consider Japan’s last-developed island as a refuge (庇护所) from the crowds.(当全世界都在等待2021年东京奥运会的时候，把日本最后一个开发的岛屿当作一个远离人群的避难所)”可知，北海道可以当做一个远离人群的避难所。由此推知，游客可以在此找到属于自己的那份安宁。故选A项。
【39题详解】
推理判断题。根据首段中的“With a vaccine (疫苗) finally greenlighted, the future of travel is looking up, but what will be the safest trips to take while the world is still in continuous change?(随着疫苗终于获得批准，旅行的未来正在好转，但在世界仍在不断变化的情况下，最安全的旅行是什么？)”可知，疫苗的获准，旅游业开始复苏，再根据“Here are the friendly escapes we’re dreaming of right now.(以下是我们现在梦寐以求的友好逃离)”可推知，本文主要介绍的是在有医疗保障下，旅游业开始复苏。故选B项。
【40题详解】
推理判断题。根据首段中的“Think wide open spaces, small-group adventures and responsible tourism. Playing it safe doesn’t mean you can’t get outside your comfort zone and have a novel adventure next year, though. Here are the friendly escapes we’re dreaming of right now.(想想广阔的开放空间，小团体冒险和负责任的旅游。不过，谨慎行事并不意味着你明年不能走出自己的舒适区，来一次新奇的冒险。以下是我们现在梦寐以求的友好逃离)”及下文可知，文章介绍了四个梦寐以求的旅行探险的好去处。由此推知，本文应是出自于旅游杂志。故选D项。
B
I have one of those names that are hard to pronounce, so I never liked the first day of school. When teachers read through the attendance, I always knew when they came to my name: There would be hesitation, then a slow syllabic (音节的) pronunciation of my name. Before they would even finish, I would put up my hand and say, “That’s me. Just call me Sanj.”
Sanj is short for Sanjukta. It’s an Indian name derived from Sanskrit and it means “united”. Words are powerful and so are names. I like my name. It means more than diversity; it means connection.
When strangers see my name, I can tell that they are trying to figure out where I am from. Some ask me what type of name it is and I know that what they really want to ask is “Where are you from?”
Growing up, I answered that I am Canadian. I didn’t want to stand out as the Indian kid. I used to think it was impolite to ask someone where they are from — it may make someone feel like an outsider. But over time, I understand most people are just curious and want to make a connection. Now when someone asks me where I am from, I also ask them where they are from. The conversation gets interesting when this happens.
Recently, I was at a dinner where most of the guests had never met each other. At first, people asked about where others worked and lived. Then people asked about kids and dogs. People started feeling a lot more comfortable with each other, so I asked everyone where they are from. This is when the conversation really got lively. People started guessing each other’s nationalities like the ultimate party game. A woman from Jamaica told us she was going back for a wedding soon and was having trouble finding a green dress. A couple of Indian women at the table convinced her to check out an Indian clothing store and showed her a traditional Indian outfit that would look great on her. All of a sudden, all the talk about where we came from united us.
United. That is what my name means. When I introduce myself to people, I say, “My name is Sanj. It’s short for Sanjukta.” Then I tell them that is Indian and what it means. And just like that, the meaning of my name makes people united.
41. Why would the author say her name first before teachers did?
A. They were not able to say her name correctly.
B. There are many ways to pronounce her name.
C. Her name was beyond their comprehension.
D. It would make her feel like greatly honored.
42. What does the author think of her name?
A. It’s much too complicated to explain.
B. It brings her connection with people.
C. It is likely to make her feel embarrassed.

【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章以我的名字为线索，主要提及了上学时我的名字导致老师无法正确读出，进而生活中人们对我的名字的好奇以及现在我面对人们的好奇时，我的乐于解释。说明我们要接受自己。
【41题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“I have one of those names that are hard to pronounce”（我有一个很难发音的名字）及“When teachers read through the attendance, I always knew when they came to my name: There would be hesitation, then a slow syllabic (音节的) pronunciation of my name. Before they would even finish, I would put up my hand and say, “That’s me. Just call me Sanj.””（当老师念出勤名单时，我总是知道当他们念到我的名字时，他们会犹豫一下，然后慢慢地念出我的名字。他们还没说完，我就举手说:“那就是我。”就叫我Sanj吧）可知，因为我的名字中有很难发音的字，所以在老师念到我的名字时，他们会在犹豫之后慢慢地念出我的名字，而我则会在老师没有念完我名字前就会说出我的名字。故选A。
【42题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“Sanj is short for Sanjukta. It’s an Indian name derived from Sanskrit and it means “united”.”（Sanj 是 Sanjukta 的简称，这是一个源自梵语的印度名字，意思是“联合”）及“ I like my name. It means more than diversity; it means connection.”（我喜欢我的名字。它不仅仅意味着多样性;它意味着联系）可知，我对自己的名字是喜欢的，因为它意味着联系，即要和人们彼此联系。故选B。
【43题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“Growing up, I answered that I am Canadian. I didn’t want to stand out as the Indian kid. I used to think it was impolite to ask someone where they are from — it may make someone feel like an outsider. But over time, I understand most people are just curious and want to make a connection. Now when someone asks me where I am from, I also ask them where they are from. The conversation gets interesting when this happens.”（长大后，我回答说我是加拿大人。我不想以印度小孩的身份引人注目。我过去认为问别人从哪里来是不礼貌的——这可能会让人觉得自己是外人。但随着时间的推移，我明白大多数人只是好奇，想要建立联系。现在，当有人问我来自哪里时，我也会问他们来自哪里。当这种情况发生时，谈话变得有趣起来）最后一段中“When I introduce myself to people, I say, “My name is Sanj. It’s short for Sanjukta.” Then I tell them that is Indian and what it means.”（当我向别人介绍自己时，我说:“我叫Sanj。它是Sanjukta的简称。”然后我告诉他们那是印度的，是什么意思）可知，当人们问起我是来自哪里时，我会回答人们的问题，随着我的长大，我也会问他们来自哪里。即我会向人们讲述我的名字的含义。故选A。
【44题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“All of a sudden; all the talk about whb ere we came from united us.”（突然地;所有关于我们从哪里来的讨论让我们团结起来）可推知，因为我们的不同和差异，让人们变得相互团结起来。故选C。
【45题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，文章在第一段中谈论了我在上学期间，老师碰到读我名字时的尴尬，进而在接下来的二、三、四段中提到我的名字的含义及人们看到我名字时的好奇；第五段引用了我的一次饭桌上的经历，人们就彼此的名字讲述各自的含义，最后一段提出，现在当别人再问我名字时，我会向他们讲述我的名字的来源及含义。综上可知，文章要表明的是我们要学会接受自己，选项B符合题意，故选B。
C
A new project aims to create a computer replica (复制品) of an entire city. It will allow experts to perform real-time resilience (适应力) testing to see how is infrastructure (基础设施) will perform in the face of challenges such as climate change and population growth.
Known as the “digital twin”, the technology has already been adopted by Formula One teams and engine makers like Rolls Royce, but its use to this degree didn’t exist.
A partnership between Newcastle University and Northumbrian Water will recreate Newcastle based on data from across the city and test its resilience in possible emergencies. Professor Chris Kilsby said, “You can try lots of things with the twin in the case of a city. I think of it as a replica that you can play with and do unimaginable things to see what would happen. The changes can be seen immediately — from observing what would happen if the river Tyne rises by a few meters to what the city would look like if the population has aged over a certain period of time. It could also be used to model human behavior, for example, determining the most likely roads people would use in the event of a food.”
Newcastle University is working on a data platform with lots of dynamic parts like traffic, water, population, etc. Much of the data is coming from the university’s Urban Observatory project, which has monitors all over the city checking pollution, water quality and biodiversity.
In 2012 an event known locally as the “Toon monsoon” took place, with a month’s worth of rain falling in two hours during the evening rush hour, causing £ 8 m worth of damage. The Toon monsoon caused a breakdown to the city because we just didn’t design anything for that sort of event. There was no one to blame. The city just couldn’t resist the heavy rain.
The digital twin will allow the city not only to react in real time to such strange weather events, but also to test its resilience in endless potential future emergencies.
Chris Jones, research and development manager at Northumbrian Water, imagined the project’s “amazing possibilities”, saying that in time it could be applied to any city with accessible data.
46. What do we know about the “digital twin” from the first two paragraphs?
A. It is not new to us. B. It is a computer system.
C. It predicts extreme weather. D. It has met with many challenges.
47. What are Professor Chris Kilsby’s words mainly about?
A. The development of the digital twin. B. People’s test of possible emergencies.
C. The many functions of the digital twin. D. The numerous changes in the environment.
48. What will Newcastle University do in the project according to the passage?
A. Offering big data about the city. B. Advocating the new technology.
C. Making up the loss caused by flood. D. Working out plans for future emergencies.
49. Why is the “Toon monsoon” mentioned here?
A. To draw people’s attention to the terrible loss of the city.
B. To warn people of the potential harm of heavy rain.
C. To indicate the new project’s significance.
D. To show the digital twin’s weakness.
50. What is Chris Jones’ attitude towards the “digital twin”?
A. Cautious. B. Opposed. C. Neutral. D. Supportive.
【答案】46. A 47. C 48. A 49. C 50. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了“数字孪生”技术旨在创建一个完整城市的电脑复制品，它将允许专家进行实时弹性测试，以了解基础设施在面对气候变化和人口增长等挑战时的表现。文章介绍了这项技术的应用情况。
【46题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Known as the “digital twin”, the technology has already been adopted by Formula One teams and engine makers like Rolls Royce, but its use to this degree didn’t exist.(这项被称为“数字孪生”的技术已经被一级方程式车队和劳斯莱斯等发动机制造商采用，但它的使用程度还不存在)”可推知，“数字孪生”对我们来说并不新鲜。故选A。
【47题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“I think of it as a replica that you can play with and do unimaginable things to see what would happen. The changes can be seen immediately — from observing what would happen if the river Tyne rises by a few meters to what the city would look like if the population has aged over a certain period of time. It could also be used to model human behavior, for example, determining the most likely roads people would use in the event of a food.(我认为它是一个复制品，你可以玩，做一些不可想象的事情，看看会发生什么。这些变化可以立即看到——从观察泰恩河上涨几米会发生什么，到观察人口老龄化一段时间后城市会变成什么样子。它还可以用来模拟人类行为，例如，确定人们在食物事件中最可能走的道路)”可知，Chris Kilsby教授的话主要关于数字孪生的许多功能。故选C。
【48题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Newcastle University is working on a data platform with lots of dynamic parts like traffic, water, population, etc. Much of the data is coming from the university’s Urban Observatory project, which has monitors all over the city checking pollution, water quality and biodiversity.(纽卡斯尔大学正在开发一个包含交通、水、人口等动态部分的数据平台。大部分数据来自该大学的城市天文台项目，该项目在整个城市都有监视器，检查污染、水质和生物多样性)”可知，纽卡斯尔大学将在项目中提供这个城市的大数据。故选A。
【49题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第三段“In 2012 an event known locally as the “Toon monsoon?” took place, with a month’s worth of rain falling in two hours during the evening rush hour, causing £ 8 m worth of damage. The Toon monsoon caused a breakdown to the city because we just didn’t design anything for that sort of event. There was no one to blame. The city just couldn’t resist the heavy rain.(2012年，当地发生了一场被称为“香椿季风”的事件。在晚高峰时段，两小时内的降雨量相当于一个月的降雨量，造成了价值800万英镑的损失。香椿季风导致城市瘫痪，因为我们没有为这种事件设计任何东西。没有人应该受到责备。这个城市就是抵挡不住大雨。)”和倒数第二段“The digital twin will allow the city not only to react in real time to such strange weather events, but also to test its resilience in endless potential future emergencies.(这个数字孪生体不仅可以让城市对这种奇怪的天气事件做出实时反应，还可以测试它在未来无尽的潜在紧急情况下的应变能力)”可推知，提到“香椿季风”是为了表明新项目的重要性。故选C。
【50题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Chris Jones, research and development manager at Northumbrian Water, imagined the project’s “amazing possibilities”, saying that in time it could be applied to any city with accessible data.(诺森伯兰水务公司的研发经理Chris Jones想象了这个项目“惊人的可能性”，他说，随着时间的推移，它可以应用于任何有可访问数据的城市)”可推知，Chris Jones对“数字孪生”的态度是支持的。故选D。
D
Scientists who study happiness know that being kind to others can improve well-being. Acts as simple as buying a cup of coffee for someone can boost a person’s mood, for example. Everyday life affords many opportunities for such actions, yet people do not always take advantage of them.
In studies published online in the Journal of Experimental Psychology, a behavioral scientist and I examined a possible explanation: people who perform random acts of kindness underestimate how much recipients value their behavior.
In one experiment, participants at an ice-skating rink in a public park gave away hot chocolate on a cold winter’s day. Although the people giving out the hot chocolate saw the act as relatively insignificant, it really mattered to the recipients. Our research also revealed one reason that people may underestimate their action’s impact. When we asked one set of participants to estimate how much someone would like getting a cupcake simply, for participating in a study, for example, their predictions were well calibrated (校准) with recipients’ reactions. But when people received cupcakes through a random act of kindness, the cupcake givers underestimated how positive their recipients would feel. Recipients of these unexpected actions tend to focus more on warmth than performers do.
Missing the importance of warmth may stand in the way of being kinder in daily life. People know that cupcakes given in kindness can make them feel surprisingly good. If people undervalue this effect, they might not bother to carry out these warm, prosocial behaviors (亲社会行为).
And kindness can be contagious (传染的). In another experiment, we had people play an economic game that allowed us to examine what are sometimes called “pay it forward” effects. In this game, participants allocated money between themselves and a person whom they would never meet. People who had just been on the receiving end of a kind act gave substantially more to an anonymous (无名的) person than those who had not. The person who performed the initial act did not recognize that their generosity would spill over in these downstream interactions.
These findings suggest that what might seem small when we are deciding whether or not to do something nice for someone else could matter a great deal to the person we do it for. Given that these warm gestures can enhance our own mood and brighten the day of another person, why not choose kindness when we can?
51. Why do people often fail to show kindness to others?
A. They don’t know how to demonstrate their happiness clearly.
B. They can’t effectively take opportunities to be kind daily.
C. They undervalue the positive impact their kindness made.
D. They have no idea how to perform random acts of kindness.
52. Those who gave away hot chocolate at an ice-skating rink would ________.
A. feel more motivated with the recipients’ reactions
B. inspire strangers to follow their examples
C. expect more appreciation from recipients
D. think nothing of the random act of kindness
53. What can we learn about the cupcake receivers from the third paragraph?
A. They overestimated the positive impact of the random kindness.
B. They attached more significance to unexpected acts of kindness.
C. They responded differently to the predictions after the experiment.
D. They longed for more opportunities to participate in similar studies.
54. What’s the main idea of paragraph 5?
A. People sometimes suffer from “pay it forward” effect.
B. A kind act can earn people more economic benefits.
C Generosity sometimes can be recognized initially.
D. Kindness can inspire people to follow one another.
55. What could be the best title for the passage?
A. Kindness can have unexpected positive effect
B. Kindness can bring different people together
C. What should we do to ensure happiness in life
D. How can people get happiness without efforts
【答案】51. C 52. D 53. B 54. D 55. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍的是一项研究发现，做善事可以给自己和他人带来意想不到的积极的影响。
【51题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Missing the importance of warmth may stand in the way of being kinder in daily life. People know that cupcakes given in kindness can make them feel surprisingly good. If people undervalue this effect, they might not bother to carry out these warm, prosocial behaviors (亲社会行为).(忽视温暖的重要性可能会阻碍你在日常生活中变得更友善。人们知道，善意的纸杯蛋糕会让他们感觉非常好。如果人们低估了这种影响，他们可能就不会费心去做这些温暖的、亲社会的行为)”可知，正是因为人们对善意带给他人的积极影响的低估，进而导致人们不会去做这些温暖的、亲社会的行为。故选C。
【52题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Although the people giving out the hot chocolate saw the act as relatively insignificant, it really mattered to the recipients.(尽管分发热巧克力的人认为这一行为相对微不足道，但对接受者来说确实很重要)”可知，分发热巧克力的人认为这一行为相对微不足道。故选D。
【53题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“But when people received cupcakes through a random act of kindness, the cupcake givers underestimated how positive their recipients would feel. Recipients of these unexpected actions tend to focus more on warmth than performers do.(但是，当人们通过随机的善意行为收到纸杯蛋糕时，纸杯蛋糕赠送者低估了接受者的积极感受。这些意外行为的接受者往往比 执行者更关注温暖)”可知，接受者更加关注这种意外行为带给他们的温暖。故选B。
【54题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第五段首句“And kindness can be contagious(善良是会传染的)”及下文“In another experiment, we had people play an economic game that allowed us to examine what are sometimes called “pay it forward” effects. In this game, participants allocated money between themselves and a person whom they would never meet. People who had just been on the receiving end of a kind act gave substantially more to an anonymous (无名的) person than those who had not. The person who performed the initial act did not recognize that their generosity would spill over in these downstream interactions.(在另一个实验中，我们让人们玩一个经济游戏，让我们检查有时被称为“传递”的效应。在这个游戏中，参与者在他们自己和一个他们永远不会见的人之间分配钱。那些刚刚接受了善举的人给匿名者的钱比没有接受善举的人多得多。做出最初行为的人没有意识到他们的慷慨会在这些下游的互动中溢出)”可知，第一句为本段的主题句，因而本段主要讲述善良可以激励人们相互效仿。故选D。
【55题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第二段“In studies published online in the Journal of Experimental Psychology, a behavioral scientist and I examined a possible explanation: people who perform random acts of kindness underestimate how much recipients value their behavior.(在《实验心理学杂志》在线发表的研究中，一位行为科学家和我研究了一种可能的解释：那些随机做出善举的人低估了接受者对他们行为的重视程度)”及下文内容可知，本文主要讲述一项研究成果：随意的善举会带来意想不到的积极的影响。由此可知，Kindness can have unexpected positive effect适合作本文最佳标题。故选A。

The Appalachian Trail attracts thousands of serious hikers each spring, only one in four hikers completes the entire trail.
The Sutton family recently finished hiking the entire trail. They are a unique trio (三人组) as their son Harvey turned five on the trail, which makes him the youngest to complete the Appalachian Trail. Josh and Carrie Sutton said they needed to take, breaks from busy work called mini-retirements. “We set the family goal of living a life with extraordinary stories. Doing things like hiking with a child on the Appalachian Trail gives you extraordinary stories,” Josh Sutton said.
When Harvey turned three they took him winter camping, and by the time he was four, the family completed a 50-mile hike, camping over six days. Seeing that Harvey developed a passion for hiking, they planned a thru-hike on the Appalachian Trail. Hiking from end to end is called a thru-hike and generally takes five to seven months to complete.
They hit the trail in Georgia on January 13, 2021. The first weeks were cold. The trail was icy and snow-covered, and the weather was often cloudy and bitter, so they made slow progress. They would wake up early each day, pack their gear (装备), and then start walking. As they had many miles to cover each day, they had to be inventive and started using imagination and Skittles (彩虹糖) as incentive for little Harvey.
The family completed their journey on August 9, 2021. Little Harvey learned to count all the way to 2,193, the total miles his little feet traveled, and a big number for someone who just started kindergarten. “I will do it again because like it so much,” said Harvey.
Although the Suttons are now back home, they have incredible memories of this mini-retirement. The journey is a life-changing experience for the Sutton family and is an inspiration for families who dream of taking a similar journey.

【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了Sutton一家徒步阿巴拉契亚山道的故事。
【56题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第二段中“The Sutton family recently finished hiking the entire trail. They are a unique trio (三人组) as their son Harvey turned five on the trail, which makes him the youngest to complete the Appalachian Trail. Josh and Carrie Sutton said they needed to take, breaks from busy work called mini-retirements. ”（萨顿一家最近完成了整条小径的徒步旅行。他们是一个独特的三人组，因为他们的儿子哈维五岁了，这使他（哈维）成为完成阿巴拉契亚步道的年级最小的人。乔什和卡丽·萨顿说，他们需要从繁忙的工作中休息一下，也就是所谓的“迷你退休”。）可知，萨顿一家决定徒步阿巴拉契亚山道，是因为他们觉得需要从繁忙的工作中休息一下。故答案为：The couple needed to take breaks from busy work.
【57题详解】
考查主旨大意。根据第三段“When Harvey turned three, they took him winter camping, and by the time he was four, the family completed a 50-mile hike, camping over six days. Seeing that Harvey developed a passion for hiking, they planned a thru-hike on the Appalachian Trail. Hiking from end to end is called a thru-hike and generally takes five to seven months to complete.”（哈维三岁时，他们带他去冬季露营，到他四岁时，全家徒步走了50英里，露营了六天。看到哈维对徒步旅行产生了热情，他们计划在阿巴拉契亚小径上进行一次全程徒步旅行。从一端到另一端的徒步旅行被称为全程徒步旅行，通常需要五到七个月才能完成。）可知，本段主要讲述了萨顿夫妇培养儿子哈维喜欢徒步热情的故事。故答案为：How Josh and Carrie developed Harvey’s passion for hiking.
【58题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第四段中“They hit the trail in Georgia on January 13, 2021. The first weeks were cold. The trail was icy and snow-covered, and the weather was often cloudy and bitter, so they made slow progress.”（他们于2021年1月13日在乔治亚州出发。头几个星期很冷。路上结了冰，白雪覆盖，天气又阴又冷，所以他们前进的速度很慢。）可知，在这次徒步进程中，恶劣的天气使得他们的进程变得很慢。故答案为：The icy and snow-covered trail and bad weather.

【59题详解】
考查词句猜测。根据第四段中“The trail was icy and snow-covered, and the weather was often cloudy and bitter, so they made slow progress.”（路上结了冰，白雪覆盖，天气又阴又冷，所以他们前进的速度很慢。）可知，恶劣的天气使得路不好走。“As they had many miles to cover each day, they had to be inventive and started using imagination and Skittles ”（由于每天要走很远的路，他们必须发挥创造力，开始使用想象和彩虹糖）可推断，他们用想象和彩虹糖来激励年幼的儿子跟着他们前行，故而划线词的词义为“鼓励，激励”，encouragement“鼓励，激励”与划线词同义，故答案为：Encouragement.
【60题详解】
开放性试题，言之有理即可。根据倒数第二段中“Little Harvey learned to count all the way to 2,193, the total miles his little feet traveled, and a big number for someone who just started kindergarten. ”（小哈维学会了一直数到2193，这是他的小脚走过的总里程数，对于一个刚开始上幼儿园的人来说，这是一个很大的数字。）可知，哈维虽然年纪小，但是却一步步地完成了阿巴拉契亚山道的徒步旅行，因此我们能从哈维的故事中学到我们要有大梦想，从小做起。故答案为：We should dream big and start small.
