Less Well-known, but Equally Fascinating National Parks in the US
Alcatraz Island (San Francisco, California)
Alcatraz Island, also known as “The Rock” (only 0.029 square miles) in the middle of San Francisco Bay, is the home of the oldest operating lighthouse on the west coast and the infamous federal prison. Visit the legendary island that once served as the San Francisco armoury (军工厂). “The Rock” will give visitors a glimpse of what life was like for prisoners and guards. Advance purchase is required because of the limited number of visitors allowed on the Island each day.
Cape Cod National Seashore (Wellfleet, Massachusetts)
Cape Cod National Seashore is a protected area of shoreline,natural habitats, and historically significant structures. It consists of 68 square miles of beaches, ponds, marshes, and woodlands extending for 40 miles. With its historic lighthouses, this park is a great place to swim in the Atlantic, explore nature trails and learn about the nation’s sailing past and present.
Biscayne National Park (Miami, Florida)
The park provides access for visitors to encounter and explore the scenery, wildlife, history and other amazing resources. This park covers 270 square miles, and 95% of it is underwater. Divers and snorkelers hit the ocean to explore shipwrecks and a bright coral reef, home to reef lobsters.
Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument (Florissant, Colorado)
Beneath a grassy mountain valley in central Colorado, lies one of the richest and most diverse fossil deposits in the world. This mountain valley protects 9 square miles of petrified (石化) redwoods and fossils of ancient insects and plants, which were preserved 35 million years ago when erupting volcanoes covered the valley in ash.

George was a game warden(猎物繁殖和保护区的管理员)in Kenya. One day, he found three tiny lions beside a dead lioness. They were so little that their eyes had not yet opened. Sadly, he took the three little lions and drove back home.
When George got out of the car with the baby lions, his wife Joy Adamson immediately took over. Joy had cared for many young animals over the years, but she had never tried to raise baby lions! However, she was determined to save these babies.
The lions grew rapidly. But as the lion grew bigger and stronger, Joy and George realized they could not keep three large lions. They decided to present two of the lions to a zoo; they would keep the smallest lion, which they named Elsa.
Joy and George taught Elsa to hunt and to protect herself. Elsa liked to play with her human friends, but as Elsa grew to her adult size, this play became dangerous. More than once, Elsa knocked Joy to the ground, scratching(抓伤)her. Joy and George both realized that it was time to find Elsa a new home. They knew she needed a wild home where she could live the life she was born to lead. Finally, Joy and George decided to set Elsa free in Meru Park at the foot of Mt. Kenya.
Elsa never forgot Joy and George. Whenever they camped nearby, Elsa would come to visit, rubbing her head against their legs in greeting.
Joy missed Elsa, but was happy that she had made a successful life as a wild lion. Joy wrote a book about Elsa, Born Free, which became an international bestseller. Joy traveled all over the world, talking about the importance of saving the wild animals of the world.
Joy lived out her life in Africa, working with wild animals. She wrote more books about her experiences. Her heart felt interest in animals and her great love for Elsa helped inspire(激发)a worldwide movement to protect wildlife. For Joy Adamson, there was no greater gift than the beauty and spirit of wild animals, living free.
24. When George took the three lions home, his wife ________.
A. advised him to give them to a zoo B. was frightened by their appearances

From self-driving cars to carebots(护理机器人)for elderly people,rapid development in technology has long represented a possible threat to many jobs normally performed by people.
But experts now believe that almost 50 percent of occupations existing today will be completely unnecessary by 2025 as artificial intelligence continues to change businesses.“The next fifteen years will see a revolution in how we work, and a revolution will necessarily take place in how we plan and think about workplaces,” said Peter Andrew, Director of Workplace Strategy for CBRE Asia Pacific.
A growing number of jobs in the future will require creative intelligence, social skills and the ability to use artificial intelligence.
The report is based on interviews with 200 experts, business leaders and young people from Asia Pacific, Europe and North America.It shows that in the US technology already ravages more job opportunities than it creates.
But the report states:“Losing occupations does not change what people do.” Growth in new jobs could occur as much,according to the research.
“The growth of 20 to 40 person companies that have the speed and technological know-how will directly challenge big companies," it states.
A 2014 report by Pew Research found 52 percent of experts in artificial intelligence and robotics were optimistic about the future and believed there would still be enough jobs in the next few years.The optimists pictured “a future in which robots do not take the place of more jobs than they create,”according to Aaron Smith,the report's co-author.
“Technology will continue to affect jobs,but more jobs seem likely to be created. Although here have always been unemployed people,when we reached a few billion people there were billions of jobs.There is no shortage of things that need to be done and that will not change,”Microsoft's Jonathan Grudin told researchers.
28.Why does the author mention self-driving cars and carebots in the first paragraph
A.To support his argument. B.To introduce the topic.
C.To provide examples. D.To make comparisons.
29.What does the underlined word “ravages” mean in paragraph 4
A.Loses B.provides C.develops D.destroys
30.What can be inferred from the report
A.Big companies will face fewer challenges.
B.Small companies will surely defeat big companies.
C.Work efficiency and technological operation will be of vital importance for companies.
D.In the future, everyone will be equipped with great social skills and the ability to use AI.
31.In which column will the passage be found most probably
A.Science B.Education C.Economy D.Fashion
D
Companies which sell liquids like drinks or shampoo depend on bottles made of plastic or glass for their packaging. But as customers have become more worried about the environment, many companies have begun working to develop paper bottles.
Paper bottles have many advantages. They are easy to recycle and weigh less than glass or plastic bottles, meaning they’ll require less energy to produce and to move around.
A company called Paboco has been working with many large companies to develop paper bottles. Clearly, one of the biggest challenges is keeping a paper bottle from leaking (渗漏). Therefore, many companies are lining their bottles with a thin sheet of plastic. Though this liner can be taken away and recycled, many recycling programs don’t have the right machines to deal with these liners.
A Danish beer company called Carlsberg is working with Paboco on a paper bottle called the “Green Fiber Bottle”. In the future the company hopes to use a “bio-plastic” that will break down naturally over time. A company named Diageo has just announced the first paper bottle that’s completely plastic-free. Instead of a plastic liner, a non-plastic coating will be used on the inside of the bottles. This should make the bottle fully recyclable. Diageo says they’ll use the bottle with their whiskey in 2023.
However, there’s still lots of testing to be done before paper bottles can replace glass or plastic panies will need to see how long liquids can be stored in the bottles, and make sure the bottles don’t influence the taste. But with so many companies working toward the same goal, it’s likely that we can expect to see paper bottles on store shelves in the near future.
32.What forces many companies to develop paper bottles
A.The cost of making plastic or glass bottles.
B.The customers’ caring about the environment.
C.The energy needed to produce ordinary bottles.
D.The difficulty in shaping the plastic or glass bottles.
33.Why are plastic liners used inside the bottles
A.To make them easy to recycle. B.To make bottles reusable.
C.To prevent liquid from escaping. D.To lower the production cost.
34.What can we infer about the making of paper bottles
A.Non-plastic coatings may be hard to recycle.
B.Paper bottles can’t go without a plastic liner.
C.There’s still a long way to go to reach the goal.
D.Not all paper bottles are better than glass bottles.
35.What can be the best title for the text
A.Traditional Bottles or Paper Bottles
B.Companies Work to Develop Paper Bottles
C.Paper Bottles Are Getting Increasingly Popular
D.Advantages and Disadvantages of Paper Bottles

Adam lived with his parents in one city while his grandparents lived far away in another city. Adam’s parents usually took their son to his grandparents’ house during summer holiday every year and stayed there for around 20 days. Adam’s grandfather loved him very much and spent a lot of time playing with him. His grandmother always cooked delicious food for him. Adam loved his stay there. This continued for years. The boy grew up over time.
One day Adam said to his parents, “Now, I am old enough to go to grandparents’ house alone. So, please let me go by myself.”
His parents didn’t agree at first but Adam insisted(坚持). They finally agreed. But they were worried about his safety. So, they taught him everything he needed to know to travel alone.
The day came when Adam was to leave for his grandparents’ house. And his parents came to see him off at the train station. When the boy was comfortably seated on the train, his parents got off and waited for the train to leave.
While waiting, the father went to the window and kept talking to his son. He handed his son an envelope(信封)from the window and said, “Son, if you feel afraid on the way, open this and read it. It will help you to calm down.”
The boy kept that envelope in his pocket carefully and said goodbye to his parents. When the train was ready to leave, the boy smiled and told his father, “I remember everything. Don’t worry.”
At every station where the train stopped, people kept coming and going. The boy started feeling a little lonely.

读后续写
At one station, a big man with cuts on his face got on the train. He sat down across from Adam and looked at him coldly. Since the boy was traveling alone for the first time, he got frightened seeing that man. So he looked away and tried to sleep. But he couldn’t help thinking about that man, especially the scar on the man’s face. He wanted to go and ask the train conductor to change his seat but he feared to tell the conductor his idea.
Then he remembered his father’s letter. He put his hand in his pocket quietly and took out the letter. His father had written, “Don’t be afraid, my little brave man. Just imagine I am here with you on the train, in the neighbouring car.” After reading that letter, the boy’s face lit up without any fear. He put back the letter in his pocket, and then put on his headphone. With relaxing music, he soon fell asleep.

W:Sorry, but I don't like an aisle seat.

M:Hey, Suzanne. What are you doing now
W: I work in Human Resources now. I'm in charge of training, er, that's both for new employees and for employees who have already been here for a while. I find trainers, organize courses, things like that. Right now I'm planning the training program for next year. It's the most important training program, so I am under a lot of pressure now. But I'm enjoying it.

M:Welcome to our program, Miss Johnson. Congratulations on winning the Teacher of the Year award. W: Thank you, Peter. I'm more than happy to be here.

W: It's difficult to find a suitable job this year. I have pressure.
M:Now college graduates are being encouraged to start their own businesses. It sounds really good for us. We can get some valuable social experience, which will be helpful for our future jobs. We may also know more about ourselves and society
better.
W:Yes, but it is not as easy as you imagine. There are a lot of problems. The main difficulty is money. And our education doesn't provide enough knowledge on how to do it.
M:Maybe you are right. But our government allows college graduates to borrow money from banks and maybe some can get money from their parents.
W:But you have to pay back the money sooner or later. So some college graduates prefer to live a peaceful life rather than start their own business through job-hunting. It's very competitive.
M:Oh, they don't have dreams. But I have made up my mind. How about you
W:Well, it always takes time to consider before making a decision.

M:Today we'll talk about Ernest Hemingway, the famous American writer. Like many great writers, many of Hemingway's books and stories were based on his personal experiences. In 1923, he produced his first collection of short stories, and most of the stories related to his childhood. As we know, in his early twenties, Hemingway lived in Paris and knew many famous writers and artists there. So in his first novel, The Sun Also Rises, he wrote about those gifted but lonely and angry people. In 1929,he produced his fourth novel, A Farewell to Arms, which was based on his experiences during World War I. During World WarⅡ, he worked as a reporter in Europe, and he used these experiences to write Across the River and into the Trees. In 1952, he wrote a short novel, The Old Man and the Sea. For this book, he won the Nobel Prize for Literature. Why is it the best As I said, when he was younger, he used to go fishing with his father and in his later years, deep-sea fishing remained his favourite hobby. He was able to write a powerful story because of his own personal experiences.
