North American Train Routes for a Family Vacation

The Adirondack

Considered one of the top ten scenic train rides in the world, the Adirondack train route travels from New York City’s Penn Station to Montreal, Canada. The 10- hour trip is great for a weekend away in either Montreal or Manhattan. The route will take you past West Point Academy, the Hudson River Valley and fifty miles of Lake Champlain.

The Vermonter

The almost 11-hour trip from Washington. DC to St. Albans. Vermont takes you from the US Capitol, through the beautiful New England states of Connecticut and Massachusetts on the way to Vermont. As you travel through New England towns, you’ll be able to see some of the most beautiful scenery in this area, including rivers, falls and covered bridges.

The Downeaster

The Downeaster was established in 2001 and was expanded in recent years to include service to Freeport and Brunswick. Maine. The short ride (between three and four hours) includes a trip along the beautiful Maine coastline. With five round-trips offered daily, it’s a great way for Massachusetts families to visit Maine for a day or longer. Many of these routes carry volunteers to aid passengers with questions about local attractions and destinations.

The Pennsylvanian

Both New York City and Pittsburgh are great family vacation destinations and the Pennsylvanian route takes you through the beautiful Pennsylvanian landscape between the two major cities. The nine and a half hour trip travels through a variety of different terrains (地形) and stops along the way include Newark, Philadelphia, Harrisburg and Altoona. Connecting train service is available for those looking to travel to Cleveland, Chicago, and Toledo from Pittsburgh.

1. Which train route offers the best choice for a one-day sightseeing?

On March 15, 2022, Francis Kéré was awarded the Pritzker Prize, otherwise known as the Nobel Prize for architecture, becoming the first African architect ever to obtain this prize.

His path to success was not smooth. When he was 7 years old, Francis Kéré left his family home to attend school because his village, Gando in Burkina Faso, did not have one of its own. Thirteen years later, he moved to Germany on a carpentry scholarship, with a dream of returning home one day to build the classrooms that didn’t exist then. Kéré achieved just that, becoming an architect and completing his first building, Gando Primary School, in 2001.

Casting mud like concrete and using local materials over imported ones, Kéré proposed a particular vision of structure that both strengthens communities and responds to the climate crisis. As such, Tuesday’s Pritzker Prize announcement is not only a nod of approval for him, but for “vernacular” architecture — a term used to describe designs that directly respond to local climates, materials and building traditions — itself. He also let the whole village participate in the design, encouraging them to construct the school, using local wood to press the stone floors and local clay to make bricks. The result was a welcoming structure with a “floating” roof that allows natural winds in a hot climate, and wall openings that bring light for students to learn even without electricity. Mr. Kéré showed the villagers that ideas to deal with climate or other challenges are always at hand.

Though, Kéré has since designed bigger projects, including many national-scale projects differing in size, his approach remains grounded in Gando. “That’s how I’m trying to translate the work I have started in Gando to structures that present national pride,” says the newly-awarded architect.

Kéré will officially be named Pritzker winner at a ceremony in London later this year. As with previous winner, he will be awarded a $ 100,000 grant and a bronze medal.

4. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 2?

A. Speak highly of Kéré’s efforts.

B. Introduce Kéré’ s childhood dream.

C. Bring a new topic for discussion.

D. Add some background information.

5. What’s Kéré’s architectural concept?

A. Economizing labour force.

B. Having a fancy appearance.

C. Highlighting sustainability.

D. Using imported building materials.

6. Which can best describe Francis Kéré?

A. Creative and caring.

B. Optimistic and humorous.

C. Humble and ambitious.

D. Stubborn and adventurous.

7. What kind of writing is the text?

A. An award speech. B. A news report. C. A novel. D. A review.

C

Zero-emission (排放) large passenger aircraft powered by hydrogen (氢) will be technically available in five years, according to Airbus, but they will not enter service for at least a decade as the price of the fuel needs to come down.

The prediction comes from Glenn Llewellyn, vice-president of zero-emission technology at the European plane-maker. He said that while Airbus planned to demonstrate hydrogen-powered aircraft in 2025, over the next 10 years, hydrogen won’t be more economic than the fossil fuel. “To make real emissions free hydrogen-powered planes, which give out only water and heat, their fuel needs to come from hydrogen produced via renewable sources such as wind and solar,” he added. “Another barrier is building up the ecosystem that hydrogen aircraft will need.”

However, Mr. Llewellyn predicted that there was enough interest to make this happen. In an interview, Mr. Llewellyn said, “We already see massive increases in the amount of renewable energy being produced across the world. Wind energy production has multiplied by two over the last five years and solar energy production has multiplied by four.” He added, “There are a number of independent institutes that have mapped out how hydrogen costs can come down over the next decades. We see a 30% reduction in renewable hydrogen costs in 2030 compared to where it is today, and a 50% reduction in renewable hydrogen costs by 2050. They are exactly the kind of cost figures that are interesting for us, because it makes zero-emission aircraft commercially viable (可行的) in the 2030s.”

Last month UK-based ZeroAvia conducted the world’s first flight of a commercial-grade aircraft powered by hydrogen. A few days before, Airbus announced a series of design proposals for hydrogen-driven aircraft, including a “blended wing” concept that provides greater storage capacity. This design could be key to hydrogen-powered aircraft as the fuel is less energy dense (密度大) than conventional fuel and so requires more space to match performance of existing airplanes.

8. What does Paragraph 2 focus on?

A. The future to make hydrogen-powered aircraft.

B. The importance of making hydrogen-powered aircraft.

C. The problems with making hydrogen-powered aircraft.

D. The possibility of making hydrogen-powered aircraft.

9. What does the underlined word “capacity” in the last paragraph mean?

A. Space.

B. Ability.

C. Place.

D. Capability

10. What is Mr. Llewellyn’s attitude towards the future of Zero-emission large aircraft?

A. Cautious.

B. Negative.

C. Doubtful.

D. Positive.

11. What is the text mainly about?

A. The Zero-emission aircraft’s first flight was tested.

B. Zero-emission large aircraft will be available.

C. Zero-emission large aircraft has been mass produced.

D. The production of Zero-emission large aircraft encountered barriers.

D

In the rainforest,thousands of species sing and call, forming sound layers so rich that the human mind can be overwhelmed.Drop a hydrophone(水听器)into an ocean and you will hear similar richness, but it is foreign to our air-adapted ears. Hundreds of thousands of other vocal(发声的)wonders ring out across the world. Every vocal species has a distinctive sound and every place on the globe has a vocal character.We live in a world of vocal wonder,yet this richness is being damaged worldwide.

In some places, vocal loss is caused by the destruction of habitats,from destroyed forests to overfished oceans. However, in habitats such as thick rainforests or oceans, sound is the only way for most animals to communicate even over short distances. This communication mating songs, cooperative signals about food, cries that indicate social, status and alarm calls allow complex animal life to boom. Elsewhere, noise is also the problem. Machines pump so much sound into water and air that other species can’t hear one another. The problem of noise is most serious in the oceans, where earthquake exploration, shipping and sonar(声呐)create a deafening sound that is uninhabitable, or nearly so, for many species.

Mankind is also affected by environmental noise, with complaints about noise pollution dating to the very first cities, recorded on clay walls from Babylonia. This noise is no mere inconvenience: It may cause diseases or deaths. The European Environment Agency estimates that environmental noise in Europe causes 12,000 untimely deaths and 48,000 new cases of heart disease per year.

What can be done to address these problems? Perhaps among the scientific studies of trends in vocal loss, activism to advocate (提倡) for justice and policy-making to reduce noise pollution and habitat destruction, we’d better also find space to listen. Just as we go out with friends to hear a concert, might we do the same for the birds in a city park? In this simple act, we might find inspiration and a direct connection to our more than-human neighbors.

12. What’s the main idea of paragraph 2?

A. Reasons contributing to noise.

B. Necessity of protecting nature.

C. Factors leading to vocal loss.

D. Significance of sound diversity.

13. Why does the author list the figures in paragraph 3?

A. To stress the threat of noise.

B. To advocate removing noise.

C. To arouse people’s health awareness.

D. To criticize the development of cities.

14. What does the author imply in the last paragraph?

A. Make practical policies.

B. Conduct more scientific study.

C. Seek inspiration from a concert.

D. Build bonds with other creatures.

15. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?

A. Can You Hear What I Hear?

B. Where Is the Sound Taking Us?

C. Can You Smell Something in Nature?

D. How Can We Protect the Environment?

What Are the Roots of Your Self-Esteem?

Self-esteem is a person's subjective assessment of his or her worth to himself or herself. Self- esteem covers various beliefs about oneself (such as 'Tm a failure" and "I'm beautiful") as well as physiological states, including sadness, joy, and shame. The more we believe that we are worthy of happiness and good things in life, the more self-fulfilled we will be. When we don't believe that we are worthy of these things, our ability to enjoy them can suffer. ____16____

Healthy self-esteem as an adult can be a gift given in your childhood. It is a blessing that most people overlook. There are so many ways adults with high self-esteem were supported as children that resulted in them having high self-esteem. For instance they were praised for what they had achieved.

____17____They likely experienced affection and were given enough attention. It is also possible that they excelled in studies or in sports and were admired for it by peers.

____18____As children, many of these people were criticized, yelled at, or abused in one way or another. There is also a high chance that they were given no attention by the adults who were supposed to care for them. In some cases, adults with poor self-esteem were often ridiculed for their shortcomings or bullied by peers.

It is common that these adults also believe that in order to be appreciated they need to be perfect.

____19____There are people who are obsessed with their careers or hobbies because in their mind they need to tie their worthiness to something concrete. Oftentimes these people have to pretend to be something they are not just to get approval.

How you feel about yourself impacts how you live your life. People with high self-esteem tend to have better relationships than those with low self-esteem. ____20____ So if you struggle to reach out for assistance, it could be rooted in your low self-esteem.

A. There is also a good chance that they were spoken to respectfully.

B. When we start to doubt what's important in life, we tend to do less of it.

C. Since self-esteem is connected to how we perform, it is important to work on it.

D. People with poor self-esteem, on the other hand, often experienced the opposite.

E. This creates an image in their mind that without accomplishment they are worthless.

F. They face failure too, but they understand that failure or success doesn't define them.

G. High self-esteem enables you to ask for help and support from the people around you when you need it.

It was a hot July day in Philadelphia. The five boys I was with had been sick of playing marbles and burning holes in dry leaves. So when little Ned suggested climbing the cliff, the rest of kids all agreed excitedly, except me. I hesitated. I longed to be brave and active, like them, but I’d been a sickly child most of my eight years and I actually wasn’t as strong as the other boys.

“Come on!”Called Jerry, my best friend. “Just being sick is no reason to be a coward（胆小鬼）.” “I’m coming!” I yelled, and ran along after them. Through the park and into the woods we went, finally we stood beneath the near vertical（垂直的）wall of the cliff, about 60 feet high. To me it looked like the very symbol of the Forbidden and Impossible.

One by one, the other boys climbed upward, finding handholds and toeholds on rocks. I hung back until the others were partway up; then trembling and sweating, I began to climb. A hand here, a foot there, my heart pounding in my skinny chest, I made my way up and up. At some point, I looked back and was horrified. The ground at the base of the cliff seemed very far below; one slip and I would fall. But the boys were talking loudly and happily above me. In a few minutes they started up to the top while I still struggled and crawled, far behind.

“Hey, wait,” I begged. Sadly, they ignored my request and continued their way to the top, from where they would walk home by an easier route. Before they left, they glanced down at me. “You can stay if you want to”, teased Ned. Jerry looked concerned, but he went with the others.

I looked down and was overcome by dizziness; a nameless force seemed to be dragging me to fall off. I grasped the rock as the world spun around. I could never climb back down. It was much too far to go, too dangerous.

Paragraph 1:

However the way up to the top was even worse—higher, steeper, more challenging.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Paragraph 2:

I didn’t know how long it had passed until a familiar voice came below.
