Mesa Verde Natinal Park
Wetherill Mesa in Mesa Verde Natinal Park will have an extended seasn this year (thrugh mid-Octber), giving cyclists much time t enjy new access t the park’ s six-mile Lng Huse Lp, a paved path frmerly used fr tram service, and the backcuntry rutes n the park’ s mst ppular hike.

B
I still remember my friends giving me the advice: Try smething new. As a mm and writer, I was stressed and, f curse, als n my phne t much. I was writing abut fd fr wrk, s cking didn’t really cunt as a hbby anymre, nr did reading, nr scializing, especially since all f my friends wrked in my industry. I needed smething in my life that existed apart frm all that.
“Maybe smething yu can d with yur hands.” The suggestin felt like an escape exit. Cking had nce been the thing I did t relax when I gt hme frm wrk, the thing I was curius abut, and the thing that made my brain away frm its standard cmplaints. The kitchen had nce been a release, but nw it was part f my prfessinal life. It needed a replacement. A few mnths later, I signed up fr a ceramics (制陶艺术) class at a studi near my apartment.
At the studi, I started as a lazy learner, but after a few mnths I became addicted, signing up fr mre classes when my term ended. I had a place t g in my free time and smething t be curius abut, and my gals were unrelated t uter frces: a bss, a jb, a market, a reader. Unlike with writing, my prgress was quantifiable (可量化的): Nw I have made a pt. Nw my handles are beautiful. Nw I have made tw things that mre r less lk like a pair.
Finally finding a hbby that was just fr my wn enjyment was a release. I enjy having smething t d that didn’t invlve a screen and therefre felt far frm the style f wrk t which I was mst accustmed — hands cvered in clay cannt swipe (滑屏) very well. Making time fr this als means carving ut time fr creatin and inspiratin, and als fr the rest that is required fr me t reflect n my life. It is smething mre than a new hbby. This is the peace that everyne needs in ur life.
4. What des the underlined sentence in the first paragraph mean?
A. Cking was her cup f tea.
B. Cking was mre a jb than a hbby.
C. Cking was a piece f cake fr her.
D Cking was n mre than a hbby fr her.
5. Why did the authr take up ceramics classes?
A. Because she wanted t escape frm the kitchen.
B. Because hands-n classes appealed t her mst.
C. Because she wanted t free herself frm her rutine wrk.
D. Because a new hbby wuld help her gain an edge in her prfessin.
6. What can we infer frm paragraph 3?
A. The authr was t lazy t learn ceramics.
B. The authr was finally fascinated by ceramics.
C. The authr gt rid f uter frces thrugh ceramics.
D. The authr made mre prgress in ceramics than in writing.
7. What message des the authr mainly want t cnvey in the text?
A. Never be afraid f changes.
B. A new hbby keeps yu away frm screens.
C. If yu are t change thers, be the change first.
D. Be brave t inject smething new int yur life.
C
One f the best things abut new technlgy is hw it makes the wrld mre accessible t peple with disabilities. Take Siri r Alexa, fr example. They are a cnvenience r even a ty fr mst peple. But if yu’re blind, they’re ptential life savers, capable f sending messages r receiving instructins, entirely thrugh the pwer f yur vice.
What’s truly exciting is hw advances in artificial intelligence (AI) are enabling the creatin f even smarter accessibility features. On the mst recent Ggle Pixel phnes, it’s pssible t turn n a feature called “Live Captins”. This means that deaf peple can easily watch vides — r even make vide calls. And perhaps mre magically, iPhne will even let yu create a simulatin f yur wn vice and have it speak fr yu, giving us all technlgy similar t what Stephen Hawking used, but in the palms f ur hands.
What I think is mst striking thugh is what all f these clever accessibility features mean fr the rest f us wh may nt need t use the features fr their intended uses. The idea behind smart headsets(头戴式视图器) — if they’re ever ging t be truly useful — is that they will wrk almst as an extensin f brains and bdies. We’ll want them t give us directins when we need them, and help us understand ur surrundings. And we’ll need a way t interact with headsets withut buttns r a tuchscreen, using ur vice r by gesturing with ur hands.
This is fr sure a tricky technical challenge, but it’s actually pssible t imagine hw such headsets might wrk, because these fundamental technlgies already exist thanks t accessibility features n smartphnes already n the market.
Ultimately, this is a great way t think abut accessibility features and why they’re s imprtant n ur mdern devices. Because they dn’t just help the peple wh need them — they help make ur technlgy even better fr everyne else t.
8. Hw des the authr prve the pint in the secnd paragraph?
A. By giving definitin.B. By making a cmparisn.
C. By making a summary.D. By giving examples.
9. Which is the riginal intentin f accessibility features?
A. T make the wrld mre accessible t the disabled.
B. T help users in slving varius phnes prblems.
C. T give instructins t the disabled.
D. T evaluate the uses f the phne.
10. What des the underlined wrd “this” in paragraph 4 refer t?
A. Fancy design.B. Cnvenient peratin.
C. Secure material.D. Standard size.
11. What is the text mainly abut?
A. A vital rle f accessibility features.
B. A rapid change in life fr the disabled.
C. A technical challenge f mdern devices.
D. A new functin f mbile phnes fr the disabled.
D
The dark days f the Depressin saw an increased demand fr stries that excite children in new ways and supprt them in prcessing difficult emtins. The features f persnalized bks meet this need well. With persnalized Lss Bks, children read abut lsing a family member. With persnalized Me and My Pet Bks, children read abut hw they first met their dgs r cats. Identified as the main driver f the rapidly grwing interactive children’s bk market, persnalized bks are far frm a gimmick (噱头).
Persnalized bks are printed r digital bks that have been tailred t the needs f a specific child. They fllw a simple principle: the publisher prvides the users with a pattern, which parents add their children’s data. Thanks t the advanced print-n-demand pssibilities f small-scale publishers, it’s nt difficult t create a persnalized versin f any stry.
Publishers claim that persnalized bks teach children empathy (同理心) and encurage lve fr reading. Nw, yu might think that it is surely what all parents and teachers want, s shuld we replace all bks with persnalized stries?
Recent bservatinal studies cnfirmed publishers’ claim that children are highly engaged and mtivated t read persnalized bks. Hwever, in a recent study, we cmpared children’s understanding f the mral f a stry and its applicatin t their lives after they read a persnalized, nn-persnalized r cntrl stry. Althugh children wh read persnalized stries had mre detailed retellings, there was n ther difference between the three grups.
This culd be because the differences amng the children were higher than the effect f persnalizatin. Studies with persnalized bks are t few fr us t knw fr sure.
Besides, while persnal stries are ften used in children with special educatinal needs, persnalized stries are a new writing style, raising many pen questins. The misuse f children’s persnal data and the mral questins cncerning diversity make ne wnder hw “persnalized” the bks actually are. The ther key pint lies in directing children’s fcus twards the ther. Meanwhile, experts pint ut that given the increased fcus n persnalized learning during the glmy days and the need t custmize children’s reading experiences, the rising trend f persnalized bks will cntinue.
12 What can we learn abut persnalized bks?
A. They are mainly in digital frm.
B. They are created by yung writers.
C. They are highly thught f by teachers.
D. They are very ppular amng children.
13. What des the recent study suggest?
A. The effects f persnalized stries need further study.
B. The varieties f persnalized stries need expanding.
C Persnalized stries build up children’s sense f justice.
D. Persnalized stries help children apply what they learn.
14. What’s the authr’s attitude t persnalized bks?
A. Objective.B. Cncerned.C. Disapprving.D. Psitive.
15. Which can be a suitable title fr the text?
A. Hw Persnalized Bks Meet Special Needs
B. Hw Persnalized Bks Benefit Children
C. Persnalized Bks: a Must r an Optin
D. Persnalized Bks: a Trick r a Treat

I sat at the breakfast table with my fur-year-ld sn, Matthew, trying t ignre the ache in my stmach. “Mama, want t play?” “Nt tday, baby.” I shk my head. These days I culd barely get ut f bed. I was still recvering frm an peratin. I hped fr strength and happiness, but the future seemed s hpeless.
Suddenly, Matthew jumped up frm his spt n the kitchen flr. “Bird!” he shuted, rushing t ur curtyard. Sure enugh, there was a white dve seated in a rubber tree (橡胶树). It sat there fr a few mments, and then flew away. Strange, I’d never seen ne in ur neighbrhd befre.
When I dragged myself t the kitchen the next mrning, the dve was back. This time it was with a mate carrying sticks. “Lk Matthew,” I said, pinting t the tree. “They’re ging t make a nest.” The dves flew in and ut f the curtyard all week, building n tp f the rubber tree.
Matthew culd hardly cntain his excitement. Every mrning, he’d run int the kitchen and take his spt by the sliding glass dr (滑动玻璃门), talking t the birds while they wrked. His happiness was influential. As much as I was sad, I culdn’t help but lk frward t the dves’ visits t.
Then it all went wrng. The curtyard was a safe enugh spt fr a nest, but the rubber tree’s brad, thin leaves were far frm stable. One night, a strng wind blew, thrwing the dves’ nest t the grund. I heard the twigs (细枝) break apart.
I surveyed the damage. Nthing gd ever lasted. I wuldn’t blame the dves if they never came back. But they returned. And they paid n attentin t the pile f sticks that had nce been their nest. They started again frm the beginning. Again, thugh, the wind destryed all their hard wrk. The next day, and the next, they started again, as if nthing had happened.

I still remember my friends giving me the advice: Try smething new. As a mm and writer, I was stressed and, f curse, als n my phne t much. I was writing abut fd fr wrk, s cking didn’t really cunt as a hbby anymre, nr did reading, nr scializing, especially since all f my friends wrked in my industry. I needed smething in my life that existed apart frm all that.
“Maybe smething yu can d with yur hands.” The suggestin felt like an escape exit. Cking had nce been the thing I did t relax when I gt hme frm wrk, the thing I was curius abut, and the thing that made my brain away frm its standard cmplaints. The kitchen had nce been a release, but nw it was part f my prfessinal life. It needed a replacement. A few mnths later, I signed up fr a ceramics (制陶艺术) class at a studi near my apartment.
At the studi, I started as a lazy learner, but after a few mnths I became addicted, signing up fr mre classes when my term ended. I had a place t g in my free time and smething t be curius abut, and my gals were unrelated t uter frces: a bss, a jb, a market, a reader. Unlike with writing, my prgress was quantifiable (可量化的): Nw I have made a pt. Nw my handles are beautiful. Nw I have made tw things that mre r less lk like a pair.
Finally finding a hbby that was just fr my wn enjyment was a release. I enjy having smething t d that didn’t invlve a screen and therefre felt far frm the style f wrk t which I was mst accustmed — hands cvered in clay cannt swipe (滑屏) very well. Making time fr this als means carving ut time fr creatin and inspiratin, and als fr the rest that is required fr me t reflect n my life. It is smething mre than a new hbby. This is the peace that everyne needs in ur life.
4. What des the underlined sentence in the first paragraph mean?
A. Cking was her cup f tea.
B. Cking was mre a jb than a hbby.
C. Cking was a piece f cake fr her.
D Cking was n mre than a hbby fr her.
5. Why did the authr take up ceramics classes?
A. Because she wanted t escape frm the kitchen.
B. Because hands-n classes appealed t her mst.
C. Because she wanted t free herself frm her rutine wrk.
D. Because a new hbby wuld help her gain an edge in her prfessin.
6. What can we infer frm paragraph 3?
A. The authr was t lazy t learn ceramics.
B. The authr was finally fascinated by ceramics.
C. The authr gt rid f uter frces thrugh ceramics.
D. The authr made mre prgress in ceramics than in writing.
7. What message des the authr mainly want t cnvey in the text?
A. Never be afraid f changes.
B. A new hbby keeps yu away frm screens.
C. If yu are t change thers, be the change first.
D. Be brave t inject smething new int yur life.
C
One f the best things abut new technlgy is hw it makes the wrld mre accessible t peple with disabilities. Take Siri r Alexa, fr example. They are a cnvenience r even a ty fr mst peple. But if yu’re blind, they’re ptential life savers, capable f sending messages r receiving instructins, entirely thrugh the pwer f yur vice.
What’s truly exciting is hw advances in artificial intelligence (AI) are enabling the creatin f even smarter accessibility features. On the mst recent Ggle Pixel phnes, it’s pssible t turn n a feature called “Live Captins”. This means that deaf peple can easily watch vides — r even make vide calls. And perhaps mre magically, iPhne will even let yu create a simulatin f yur wn vice and have it speak fr yu, giving us all technlgy similar t what Stephen Hawking used, but in the palms f ur hands.
What I think is mst striking thugh is what all f these clever accessibility features mean fr the rest f us wh may nt need t use the features fr their intended uses. The idea behind smart headsets(头戴式视图器) — if they’re ever ging t be truly useful — is that they will wrk almst as an extensin f brains and bdies. We’ll want them t give us directins when we need them, and help us understand ur surrundings. And we’ll need a way t interact with headsets withut buttns r a tuchscreen, using ur vice r by gesturing with ur hands.
This is fr sure a tricky technical challenge, but it’s actually pssible t imagine hw such headsets might wrk, because these fundamental technlgies already exist thanks t accessibility features n smartphnes already n the market.
Ultimately, this is a great way t think abut accessibility features and why they’re s imprtant n ur mdern devices. Because they dn’t just help the peple wh need them — they help make ur technlgy even better fr everyne else t.
8. Hw des the authr prve the pint in the secnd paragraph?
A. By giving definitin.B. By making a cmparisn.
C. By making a summary.D. By giving examples.
9. Which is the riginal intentin f accessibility features?
A. T make the wrld mre accessible t the disabled.
B. T help users in slving varius phnes prblems.
C. T give instructins t the disabled.
D. T evaluate the uses f the phne.
10. What des the underlined wrd “this” in paragraph 4 refer t?
A. Fancy design.B. Cnvenient peratin.
C. Secure material.D. Standard size.
11. What is the text mainly abut?
A. A vital rle f accessibility features.
B. A rapid change in life fr the disabled.
C. A technical challenge f mdern devices.
D. A new functin f mbile phnes fr the disabled.
D
The dark days f the Depressin saw an increased demand fr stries that excite children in new ways and supprt them in prcessing difficult emtins. The features f persnalized bks meet this need well. With persnalized Lss Bks, children read abut lsing a family member. With persnalized Me and My Pet Bks, children read abut hw they first met their dgs r cats. Identified as the main driver f the rapidly grwing interactive children’s bk market, persnalized bks are far frm a gimmick (噱头).
Persnalized bks are printed r digital bks that have been tailred t the needs f a specific child. They fllw a simple principle: the publisher prvides the users with a pattern, which parents add their children’s data. Thanks t the advanced print-n-demand pssibilities f small-scale publishers, it’s nt difficult t create a persnalized versin f any stry.
Publishers claim that persnalized bks teach children empathy (同理心) and encurage lve fr reading. Nw, yu might think that it is surely what all parents and teachers want, s shuld we replace all bks with persnalized stries?
Recent bservatinal studies cnfirmed publishers’ claim that children are highly engaged and mtivated t read persnalized bks. Hwever, in a recent study, we cmpared children’s understanding f the mral f a stry and its applicatin t their lives after they read a persnalized, nn-persnalized r cntrl stry. Althugh children wh read persnalized stries had mre detailed retellings, there was n ther difference between the three grups.
This culd be because the differences amng the children were higher than the effect f persnalizatin. Studies with persnalized bks are t few fr us t knw fr sure.
Besides, while persnal stries are ften used in children with special educatinal needs, persnalized stries are a new writing style, raising many pen questins. The misuse f children’s persnal data and the mral questins cncerning diversity make ne wnder hw “persnalized” the bks actually are. The ther key pint lies in directing children’s fcus twards the ther. Meanwhile, experts pint ut that given the increased fcus n persnalized learning during the glmy days and the need t custmize children’s reading experiences, the rising trend f persnalized bks will cntinue.
12 What can we learn abut persnalized bks?
A. They are mainly in digital frm.
B. They are created by yung writers.
C. They are highly thught f by teachers.
D. They are very ppular amng children.
13. What des the recent study suggest?
A. The effects f persnalized stries need further study.
B. The varieties f persnalized stries need expanding.
C Persnalized stries build up children’s sense f justice.
D. Persnalized stries help children apply what they learn.
14. What’s the authr’s attitude t persnalized bks?
A. Objective.B. Cncerned.C. Disapprving.D. Psitive.
15. Which can be a suitable title fr the text?
A. Hw Persnalized Bks Meet Special Needs
B. Hw Persnalized Bks Benefit Children
C. Persnalized Bks: a Must r an Optin
D. Persnalized Bks: a Trick r a Treat

47. 阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
I sat at the breakfast table with my fur-year-ld sn, Matthew, trying t ignre the ache in my stmach. “Mama, want t play?” “Nt tday, baby.” I shk my head. These days I culd barely get ut f bed. I was still recvering frm an peratin. I hped fr strength and happiness, but the future seemed s hpeless.
Suddenly, Matthew jumped up frm his spt n the kitchen flr. “Bird!” he shuted, rushing t ur curtyard. Sure enugh, there was a white dve seated in a rubber tree (橡胶树). It sat there fr a few mments, and then flew away. Strange, I’d never seen ne in ur neighbrhd befre.
When I dragged myself t the kitchen the next mrning, the dve was back. This time it was with a mate carrying sticks. “Lk Matthew,” I said, pinting t the tree. “They’re ging t make a nest.” The dves flew in and ut f the curtyard all week, building n tp f the rubber tree.
Matthew culd hardly cntain his excitement. Every mrning, he’d run int the kitchen and take his spt by the sliding glass dr (滑动玻璃门), talking t the birds while they wrked. His happiness was influential. As much as I was sad, I culdn’t help but lk frward t the dves’ visits t.
Then it all went wrng. The curtyard was a safe enugh spt fr a nest, but the rubber tree’s brad, thin leaves were far frm stable. One night, a strng wind blew, thrwing the dves’ nest t the grund. I heard the twigs (细枝) break apart.
I surveyed the damage. Nthing gd ever lasted. I wuldn’t blame the dves if they never came back. But they returned. And they paid n attentin t the pile f sticks that had nce been their nest. They started again frm the beginning. Again, thugh, the wind destryed all their hard wrk. The next day, and the next, they started again, as if nthing had happened.
