National parks are an excellent way to explore all the beauty that the world has to offer: whether it’s endangered species, erupting volcanoes and snowy mountains, or rainforests and lakes. Of the thousands of national parks that exist in the world, these are the ones that should be on everyone’s bucket list.
Yorkshire Dales, United Kingdom
Contrary (相反) to the popular link of national parks with the wilderness it is filled with winding valleys, hills and villages where over 24,000 people live and work. Visitors can walk through grassland, visit waterfalls or explore underground caves, but Yorkshire Dales is also home to several food shops, and the park hosts cheese festivals and farmers markets regularly, so it’s best to go hungry.
Kakadu National Park, Australia
It is a delight for those who like a bit of history mixed with the biodiversity of national parks. While it houses thousands of species of wildlife, there’s more to the national park than that.
Guilin and Lijiang River National Park, China
It is surrounded by striking natural beauty and can be explored by land. But the river national park, as the name suggests, is best explored through leisurely boat rides that take visitors through many ancient towns that come along the way of the river.
Vatnaj kull National Park, Iceland
Here’s a surprising fact: The whole of Vatnaj kull National Park makes up 14% of Iceland’s territory! The park is usually open for hikes around the glaciers; boat rides through glacier lakes, and tours that take visitors through the park’s many ice caves, waterfalls, and icebergs. Vatnaj kull is also where two of Iceland’s most active volcanoes are located.

B. Skiing in the snowy mountains.

Fourteen-year-old Harini Logan won the Scripps National Spelling Bee last Thursday, defeating 12-year-old Vikram Raju in a tie-breaker. It’s the first time the contest has ever been decided by a tie-breaking round of spelling.
A spelling bee is a contest where players take turns spelling words. Players who spell a word wrong are out of the contest. As the contest goes on, the words get more difficult. Normally, the contest ends when there’s only one player left who hasn’t made a mistake. Though the bee is mainly about spelling, since 2021 it has changed slightly to also focus on the meaning of the words. During parts of the contest, students were asked to choose the correct meaning of a word.
That caused trouble for Harini. She was asked about the meaning of the word “pullulation”. She said the word described the nesting of birds. The contest organizers had expected the answer the “swarming of bees”. Harini was removed from the contest. But soon she was back in—the judges double-checked and learned that Harini’s definition was also correct. One by one, the other students spelled a word wrong and got out. Finally, only Harini and Vikram were left.
The Scripps bee has been running for over 90 years. Many times it ended in a tie. As a result, the contest organizers changed the rules. They added a “spell-off” to the contest to make future ties much less likely. In the spell-off, Vikram and Harini each took turns trying to spell the words they were asked, but both made mistakes. At one point, Harini could have won by spelling the word “drimys” (a kind of plant) correctly. But she missed it.
That put the two into a super tie-breaking event, where they were each given 90 seconds to correctly spell as many words as they could. In 90 seconds, Vikram had spelled 15 words correctly. Harini had 21 correct spellings, making her the new winner.
4. What does the author want to show in Paragraph 2
A. The rules of the contest. B. The awards of the contest.
C. The organization of the contest. D. The way to take part in the contest.
5. Why did the contest organizers change the rules
A. To attract more teenagers. B. To avoid the result of a tie.
C. To make the contest fair. D. To reduce unexpected mistakes.
6. What does the text mainly talk about
A. A close spelling contest was held online. B. The Scripps Spelling Bee changed its rules.
C. Many people won spots at a national contest. D. A teenager wins Spelling Bee in exciting tie-breaker.
7. What is the text
A. A news report. B. A book review. C. A research paper. D. A class presentation.
C
One of the winners of this year’s Nobel Prize in Chemistry was Danish scientist Morten Meldal. When describing his career, Meldal said he started out as an engineer but changed to chemistry because he “wanted to understand the world.”
Meldal’s experience may come as a surprise to students. They might believe they have to center their work and school lives in one field to be successful. But a study from professors at Michigan State University shows that is not always the case.
Michele Root-Bernstein and Robert Root-Bernstein (her husband) published their study in the Creativity Research Journal. They said that a large number of Nobel Prize winners can be described as “polymaths”.
The writers looked at past Nobel Prize winners and their students. They decided that when students of winners go on to win Nobel Prizes, some of what they learned from their teachers is how to live a life with many interests. They are, in a way, learning how to be creative.
Having many interests, the Root-Bernsteins wrote, permits scientists to look for creative ways to solve problems. In fact, one important part of science is not discovering answers, but recognizing problems that need to be solved.
The prize winners, the Root-Bernsteins said, transfer “skills, techniques and materials from one field to another.” They said Alexis Carrel won his Nobel Prize in medicine in 1912 by using techniques he learned from the clothing business. He realized that people who used thread to make and fix clothing had a skill that could be used in operations to put new organs into people’s bodies.
The Michigan State University professors study creativity. They found Nobel winners are nine times more likely to have experience in working with wood, metal or in the arts than most scientists. The researchers say that unlike many people who spend long hours at work and give up some of their outside interests, Nobel winners believe their hobbies are important to creativity.
8. What comes as a surprise to students according to the passage
A. Meldal’s winning Nobel Prize. B. Meldal’s original working field.
C. Meldal’s desire to understand the world. D. Meldal’s study with Michigan State University.
9. What kind of people can be sorted as “polymaths”
A. People who are equipped with various interests.
B. People who only concentrated on just one field.
C. People who are committed lifelong to their career.
D. People who are admired for established achievements.
10. What’s the author’s attitude towards the Root-Bernsteins’ discovery
A. Subjective. B. Doubtful. C. Objective. D. Opposed.
11. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A. A Creative Scientist B. An Amazing Rise to Fame
C. A Born Nobel Prize Winner D. A Secret to Winning Top Prize
D
A research project called Mineral has created robots that move around in farm fields. The project aims to use computers to help farmers grow more food in ways that are healthy for the environment.
With the number of people on earth getting bigger each year, more food needs to be grown in order to feed everyone. As weather patterns continue to change because of the climate crisis, this task is becoming even more difficult. Some experts say that to feed everyone, more food will need to be grown over the next 50 years than in the last 10,000 years. In the past, farmers tried to quickly increase the amount they produce, using methods that were not always healthy for the environment—more fields, fertilizers, and pesticides.
Instead, the focus of the Mineral project is on getting farms to produce more by improving conditions for each plant. Elliot Grant, who leads the project, says the goal is to “manage the plant instead of the plot.” Mineral’s team spent several years talking to farmers to see what problems they were having and how these problems might be fixed. That led to the creation of special robots, called “plant buggies (车)”.
At first, the buggies were very simple. They were built on bicycles and took pictures with cell phones. Over time, they’ve been improved repeatedly. The plant buggies roll on four wheels and are high enough to glide (滑行) over rows of plants without hurting them. They’re covered in solar panels and have strong wheels, which allows them to roll through muddy fields. The robots can take detailed pictures of plants, track each plant’s location, and measure the plant’s size.
Before, farmers had information about the soil and the weather, but they couldn’t track every plant. Now, with Mineral’s robots, they can. By collecting lots of information like this, Mineral believes computers can help farmers make predictions about how their plants will grow. Studying each individual plant could end up saving time and money.
12. What’s the Mineral project’s goal
A. To replace farmers with robots. B. To design and sell farming robots.
C. To better handle environmental pollution. D. To improve food production in a green way.
13. What contributes to the need for more food
A. The constant disasters. B. People’s bigger appetite.
C. The increasing population. D. The development of industry.
14. What does the underlined part “the plot” in Paragraph 3 refer to
A. A secret plan. B. A piece of farmland.
C. The mark on a map. D. The series of events.
15. What is special about plant buggies
A. They can collect soil information. B. They can make weather predictions.
C. They can monitor each plant’s condition. D. They can help fertilize and water the crops.

Many years ago, I was at a girls, school and our teacher made all the girls in the class sit next to someone different every day.
On one of the days, my teacher paired Madhuri, who I had never talked to, and me to sit next to each other. I noticed that she seemed very anxious. I asked her what was wrong. She remained silent at first, but eventually, she told me that she had three sisters in her family and that her father couldn’t afford school books for all of them.
My primary school was strict, as was the standard then, and if you didn’t have your school books the teacher would make you leave the class. Madhuri was very anxious that day because she thought that the teacher would tell her to leave the class. When the teacher saw that she didn’t have the books, he told Madhuri that she couldn’t attend class for a week.
Madhuri was very sad. I felt so bad when I saw her pain that I decided to help her. I went to speak to her and offered to buy the books for her. She refused my offer to help. She had very strong principles and she would never accept things bought by others.
When I got home from school I told my mom the story. She said that it was good that I had tried to help but I should stop worrying about it because there was nothing more that I could do if she had refused my offer to help. I couldn’t stop worrying about it though. Then I had an idea. My elder brother who had once used the same series of books, graduated from school last year. Why not turn to him for help

Fourteen-year-old Harini Logan won the Scripps National Spelling Bee last Thursday, defeating 12-year-old Vikram Raju in a tie-breaker. It’s the first time the contest has ever been decided by a tie-breaking round of spelling.
A spelling bee is a contest where players take turns spelling words. Players who spell a word wrong are out of the contest. As the contest goes on, the words get more difficult. Normally, the contest ends when there’s only one player left who hasn’t made a mistake. Though the bee is mainly about spelling, since 2021 it has changed slightly to also focus on the meaning of the words. During parts of the contest, students were asked to choose the correct meaning of a word.
That caused trouble for Harini. She was asked about the meaning of the word “pullulation”. She said the word described the nesting of birds. The contest organizers had expected the answer the “swarming of bees”. Harini was removed from the contest. But soon she was back in—the judges double-checked and learned that Harini’s definition was also correct. One by one, the other students spelled a word wrong and got out. Finally, only Harini and Vikram were left.
The Scripps bee has been running for over 90 years. Many times it ended in a tie. As a result, the contest organizers changed the rules. They added a “spell-off” to the contest to make future ties much less likely. In the spell-off, Vikram and Harini each took turns trying to spell the words they were asked, but both made mistakes. At one point, Harini could have won by spelling the word “drimys” (a kind of plant) correctly. But she missed it.
That put the two into a super tie-breaking event, where they were each given 90 seconds to correctly spell as many words as they could. In 90 seconds, Vikram had spelled 15 words correctly. Harini had 21 correct spellings, making her the new winner.

One of the winners of this year’s Nobel Prize in Chemistry was Danish scientist Morten Meldal. When describing his career, Meldal said he started out as an engineer but changed to chemistry because he “wanted to understand the world.”
Meldal’s experience may come as a surprise to students. They might believe they have to center their work and school lives in one field to be successful. But a study from professors at Michigan State University shows that is not always the case.
Michele Root-Bernstein and Robert Root-Bernstein (her husband) published their study in the Creativity Research Journal. They said that a large number of Nobel Prize winners can be described as “polymaths”.
The writers looked at past Nobel Prize winners and their students. They decided that when students of winners go on to win Nobel Prizes, some of what they learned from their teachers is how to live a life with many interests. They are, in a way, learning how to be creative.
Having many interests, the Root-Bernsteins wrote, permits scientists to look for creative ways to solve problems. In fact, one important part of science is not discovering answers, but recognizing problems that need to be solved.
The prize winners, the Root-Bernsteins said, transfer “skills, techniques and materials from one field to another.” They said Alexis Carrel won his Nobel Prize in medicine in 1912 by using techniques he learned from the clothing business. He realized that people who used thread to make and fix clothing had a skill that could be used in operations to put new organs into people’s bodies.
The Michigan State University professors study creativity. They found Nobel winners are nine times more likely to have experience in working with wood, metal or in the arts than most scientists. The researchers say that unlike many people who spend long hours at work and give up some of their outside interests, Nobel winners believe their hobbies are important to creativity.
8. What comes as a surprise to students according to the passage
A. Meldal’s winning Nobel Prize. B. Meldal’s original working field.
C Meldal’s desire to understand the world. D. Meldal’s study with Michigan State University.
9. What kind of people can be sorted as “polymaths”
A. People who are equipped with various interests.
B. People who only concentrated on just one field.
C. People who are committed lifelong to their career.
D. People who are admired for established achievements.
10. What’s the author’s attitude towards the Root-Bernsteins’ discovery
A. Subjective. B. Doubtful. C. Objective. D. Opposed.
11. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A. A Creative Scientist B. An Amazing Rise to Fame
C. A Born Nobel Prize Winner D. A Secret to Winning Top Prize
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. C 11. D

They might believe they have to center their work and school lives in one field to be successful. (Meldal的经历可能会让学生们大吃一惊。他们可能认为他们必须把工作和学习生活集中在一个领域才能成功。)”可知,学生们可能认为自己必须集中精力于一个领域才能获得成功,但Meldal却不是这样,他最初是工程师,后来才转学化学,他的经历让学生们很吃惊。由此可推测出,学生们感到惊讶的是Meldal最初的工作领域。故选B。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段的“They said that a large number of Nobel Prize winners can be described as ‘polymaths’.(他们说,许多诺贝尔奖获得者可以被称为‘博学的人’。)”和第四段的“They decided that when students of winners go on to win Nobel Prizes, some of what they learned from their teachers is how to live a life with many interests.(他们决定,当获奖者的学生接着获得诺贝尔奖时,他们从老师那里学到的一些东西是如何过一种兴趣多样的生活。)”可推知,可以被归类为“博学的人”的人是有各种各样兴趣爱好的人。故选A。

【11题详解】
标题归纳题。通读全文,尤其是第三段“Michele Root-Bernstein and Robert Root-Bernstein (her husband) published their study in the Creativity Research Journal. They said that a large number of Nobel Prize winners can be described as ‘polymaths’.(Michele Root-Bernstein和其丈夫Robert Root-Bernstein在《创造力研究杂志》上发表了他们的研究。他们说,许多诺贝尔奖获得者可以被称为‘博学的人’。)”可知,本文主要讲的是研究发现,许多诺贝尔奖获得者是博学多才的人,这可以说是获得诺贝尔奖的秘诀,因此本文最恰当的题目是D选项“A Secret to Winning Top Prize(赢得最高奖的秘诀)”,故选D。

A research project called Mineral has created robots that move around in farm fields. The project aims to use computers to help farmers grow more food in ways that are healthy for the environment.
With the number of people on earth getting bigger each year, more food needs to be grown in order to feed everyone. As weather patterns continue to change because of the climate crisis, this task is becoming even more difficult. Some experts say that to feed everyone, more food will need to be grown over the next 50 years than in the last 10,000 years. In the past, farmers tried to quickly increase the amount they produce, using methods that were not always healthy for the environment—more fields, fertilizers, and pesticides.
Instead, the focus of the Mineral project is on getting farms to produce more by improving conditions for each plant. Elliot Grant, who leads the project, says the goal is to “manage the plant instead of the plot.” Mineral’s team spent several years talking to farmers to see what problems they were having and how these problems might be fixed. That led to the creation of special robots, called “plant buggies (车)”.
At first, the buggies were very simple. They were built on bicycles and took pictures with cell phones. Over time, they’ve been improved repeatedly. The plant buggies roll on four wheels and are high enough to glide (滑行) over rows of plants without hurting them. They’re covered in solar panels and have strong wheels, which allows them to roll through muddy fields. The robots can take detailed pictures of plants, track each plant’s location, and measure the plant’s size.
Before, farmers had information about the soil and the weather, but they couldn’t track every plant. Now, with Mineral’s robots, they can. By collecting lots of information like this, Mineral believes computers can help farmers make predictions about how their plants will grow. Studying each individual plant could end up saving time and money.
12. What’s the Mineral project’s goal
A. To replace farmers with robots. B. To design and sell farming robots.
C. To better handle environmental pollution. D. To improve food production in a green way.
13. What contributes to the need for more food
A. The constant disasters. B. People’s bigger appetite.
C. The increasing population. D. The development of industry.
14. What does the underlined part “the plot” in Paragraph 3 refer to
A. A secret plan. B. A piece of farmland.
C. The mark on a map. D. The series of events.
15. What is special about plant buggies
A. They can collect soil information. B. They can make weather predictions.
C. They can monitor each plant’s condition. D. They can help fertilize and water the crops.
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. B 15. C

【14题详解】
短语猜测题。根据第二段中“In the past, farmers tried to quickly increase the amount they produce, using methods that were not always healthy for the environment—more fields, fertilizers, and pesticides.(在过去,农民试图快速增加产量,使用的方法并不总是对环境有益——更多的田地、化肥和农药。)”以及第三段中的“Instead, the focus of the Mineral project is on getting farms to produce more by improving conditions for each plant.(相反,Mineral项目的重点是通过改善每株植物的条件来提高农场产量。)”可知,在过去,农民试图改善田地的条件来快速增加产量,但是现在通过改善每株植物的条件来提高农场产量。这里的the plot与the plant对应,可推测出plot为“地块”的意思,B项“一块田地”符合题意。故选B项。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的“The robots can take detailed pictures of plants, track each plant’s location, and measure the plant’s size.(机器人可以拍摄植物的详细照片,跟踪每个植物的位置,并测量植物的大小。)”可知,植物车的特别之处在于它们可以监控每株植物的状况。故选C。

考查过去分词。句意:上巳节是中国古代的一个节日,在农历三月初三庆祝。句中谓语是is,空格处用非谓语动词,festival和celebrate之间是逻辑动宾关系,因此空格处用过去分词表被动,故填celebrated。
【37题详解】
考查副词。句意:这是中国少数民族的节日,主要是为了驱除邪灵和自然灾害。空格处用副词mainly修饰动词observed,mainly意为“主要”,故填mainly。
【38题详解】
考查名词的复数。句意:关于这个节日的真正起源有很多故事。many后跟名词的复数,故填stories。
【39题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意:另一些人说,它来自于在河里洗澡以摆脱邪恶的习俗。句子描述客观事实,时态用一般现在时,主语it是第三人称单数,因此空格处用第三人称单数,故填comes。
【40题详解】
考查时态,语态和主谓一致。句意:为后人在江畔设宴祈福是汉代增加的。设宴祈福是被增加,句子用被动语态,且由“in the Han Dynasty”可知,句子时态用一般过去时,因此空格处是一般过去时的被动语态,主语“The feast and praying”是复数,因此空格处是were added,故填were added。
【41题详解】
考查强调句。句意:魏晋以后,这一事件发展成为三月三。由“It was”和句意可知,句子是强调句,结构是“it is/was+被强调的部分+that/who+其他部分”,被强调的是“after the Wei and Jin dynasties”,是时间,因此空格处是that,故填that。
【42题详解】
考查冠词。句意:明清以后,春游发展为徒步旅行和听唱诗班音乐等活动。outing是可数名词,且表泛指,前面需加不定冠词,spring是辅音音素开头,因此不定冠词用a,故填a。
【43题详解】
考查不定式。句意:对壮族来说,3月3日是年轻人唱歌寻找真爱的节日。it is a festival for sb. to do意为“是某人做某事的节日”,因此空格处是不定式,故填to sing。
【44题详解】
考查时态,语态和主谓一致。句意:自1983年起,广西各地每年都在这一天举行歌唱活动。由“Since 1983”可知,句子时态用现在完成时,且节日活动是被举行,因此空格处是现在完成时的被动语态,主语festivals是复数,因此空格处是have been held,故填have been held。
【45题详解】
考查介词。句意:壮族人认为大米有益健康,彩绘鸡蛋被视为爱情的象征。sth. be seen as是固定短语,意为“某物被认为是……”,因此空格处用介词as,表示“作为”,故填as。

【答案】Dear friends,

Last weekend, I actively took part in the community service with my classmates. As planned, we arrived at the elderly caring center in the early morning, where we helped mop the floor, dust the furniture and clean the windows. After that, we made dumplings with them while chatting happily.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Many years ago, I was at a girls, school and our teacher made all the girls in the class sit next to someone different every day.
On one of the days, my teacher paired Madhuri, who I had never talked to, and me to sit next to each other. I noticed that she seemed very anxious. I asked her what was wrong. She remained silent at first, but eventually, she told me that she had three sisters in her family and that her father couldn’t afford school books for all of them.
My primary school was strict, as was the standard then, and if you didn’t have your school books the teacher would make you leave the class. Madhuri was very anxious that day because she thought that the teacher would tell her to leave the class. When the teacher saw that she didn’t have the books, he told Madhuri that she couldn’t attend class for a week.
Madhuri was very sad. I felt so bad when I saw her pain that I decided to help her. I went to speak to her and offered to buy the books for her. She refused my offer to help. She had very strong principles and she would never accept things bought by others.
When I got home from school I told my mom the story. She said that it was good that I had tried to help but I should stop worrying about it because there was nothing more that I could do if she had refused my offer to help. I couldn’t stop worrying about it though. Then I had an idea. My elder brother, who had once used the same series of books, graduated from school last year. Why not turn to him for help
注意:1. 续写词数应为150左右;

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The next day, I got up early so that I could go to her house before going to school.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Maybe those old books were the solution to the problem. They wouldn’t cost anything so Madhuri could accept without any pressure. I went to mom and my brother immediately. After hearing Madhuri’s situation and my plan, my brother was quite willing to help. We sorted out the needed books for Madhuri together very quickly. Looking at the neatly piled books, I felt quite satisfied and delighted but suddenly a concern flashed across my mind, “Would Madhuri mind they are second-hand books ”
The next day, I got up early so that I could go to her house before going to school. Not knowing whether she would accept the books or not, I knocked at the door nervously. When the door opened, I could see her surprised expression. Hearing that these books were old books of my brother, she accepted them without hesitation. I also got a weight off my mind. On the way to school, I could see from her face how happy she was. From that day on, something changed and as the days passed and the years moved on, Madhuri and I became best friends.
