Fun Fall Weekend Getaways
Gulf Shores, Alabama
Alabama's Gulf Shores is attractive year-round, but the fall months bring fewer crowds and more affordable prices on hotels.

There's also plenty to do at this beach destination outside of playing in the sand and surfing. For example, you can visit a downtown music bar.
Albuquerque, New Mexico
Albuquerque's amazing landscapes provide an enjoyment for visitors year-round. However, visiting in fall allows you to enjoy the famous Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta, which takes place in October.

Because this hot air balloon festival is such a popular event, you'll want to secure accommodations well in advance.

Shaping, drying, glazing and firing... in less than 5 minutes, a mini vase only millimeters in size starts to take shape as viewers watch on. As the founder of a miniature ceramics (微型陶瓷) studio, Wang Wenhua never expected that his works would surprise viewers in China, let alone those abroad, and that his short videos would earn over 45 million views and 4.2 million likes on a video application.
Having worked in China's "Porcelain Capital (瓷都)" Jingdezhen in East China's Jiangxi Province for 14 years, Wang said he had once seen the world's biggest ceramic here but he had never seen the smallest, so he decided one day to try something different — making micro porcelain.
Things were not easy in the beginning, and many people doubted him. "They called me crazy and mocked me when I went to factories and asked them to help make miniature tools for me to create micro pottery. Even my wife did not support me," Wang said.
However, Wang did not give up and after about half a year of experimentation, Wang finally made miniature tools on his own and was able to complete his first miniature porcelain — a vase.
According to Wang, the key to making a miniature ceramic work is concentration and a pair of steady hands. After numerous attempts, Wang found that the smallest works he could get were about 2 millimeters in size. "It would probably miss my original intention if I made micro pottery using a microscope, so I have focused more attention on making the smaller pieces more beautiful and complex," said Wang.
The smallest vase that Wang has made is a bowl only 2 millimeters tall, 3 millimeters wide and 1 millimeter thick. Wang says he plans to apply for the Guinness World Records for the world's smallest pottery work.
4．What inspired Wang Wenhua to make micro porcelain
A．The high expectations of the viewers.
B．The popularity of his videos on a video application.
C．His decision to make something different.
D．The responsibility of the founder of the studio.
5．Which words can best describe Wang Wenhua
A．Generous and wise. B．Brilliant and wealthy.
C．Talented and selfish. D．Determined and focused.
6．What plays a significant role in Wang producing a miniature ceramic work
A．Using a microscope in his work.
B．Advanced tools made by himself.
C．Carrying out numerous experiments.
D．Attention on a thing and steady hands.
7．In which section of a newspaper may this text appear
A．Fashion. B．Art. C．Education. D．Psychology.
C
Why don't we have eyes in the back of our heads There are at least two reasons. Eyes are biologically expensive things to make and rear view (后视) eyes don't fit well into the human evolution (进化).
Even animals, such as rabbits, whose main survival advantage is rear vision, have only the side eyes. Rear vision is not so important. There are other species that have evolved this ability by moving the position of their eyes relative to the rest of their head. Many birds have their eyes positioned towards the side of their head, allowing them a very wide angle of vision and, in the case of some birds such as the woodcock, they are positioned so they can actually achieve 360- degree vision. It is also obvious that spiders, which tend to have many eyes, only have them facing forwards.
Humans, and probably some other animals, do have another adapted sense to make it up. Many experiments showed that sounds behind the head were noticed by a listener more than sounds to the front, especially if a listener was in a dark room. So, our ears can make up for the lack of rear-facing vision. You can look at it another way. Rear vision is useful only if the potential threat is visible. During human evolution, that was most often not the case.
Finally, there is often more than one potential "solution" to a given problem. In many species, the answer to maintaining 360 degree awareness of surrounding danger is to rely on many eyes. Social behavior is common in the animal kingdom and one reason for this is that there is safety in numbers. You might be looking the wrong way when a tiger approaches, but if your teammates raise the alarm this is as effective as having eyes in the back of your head.
8．Why do humans have no rear view eyes
A．They are bad for human survival.
B．They are replaced by other organs.
C．They are less likely to spot the danger.
D．They are abandoned by natural selection.
9．What is the purpose of paragraph 2
A．To explain why animals have other functions.
B．To state rear-view eyes aren't a must for survival.
C．To prove rabbits, birds and spiders are very special.
D．To show rear view eyes are against the natural selection.
10．What does the underlined word "that" in paragraph 3 refer to
A．The visible threat behind the head.
B．Sensitive hearing.
C．The sounds behind the head.
D．Rear vision.
11．Where does the text most likely come from
A．A travel brochure. B．A fiction.
C．A science magazine. D．A book review.
D
You've probably felt it at some point in life: a red face, a huge heart, and a coating of sweat on your palms. That intense feeling, also known as an adrenaline (肾上腺素) rush, is caused by stress, nervousness, or excitement.
What happens to the body in any of those scenes is the same. "The special phenomenon begins in organs called adrenal glands(肾上腺). They secrete (分泌) the hormone adrenaline, preparing your body to take action ", says Alan Goodman,a professor of biological anthropology (人类学) at Hampshire College in Massachusetts. "The chemical helps you respond in high risk situations—and even to fight or flee. "
In fact, as soon as your brain senses danger, it tells your body to start making adrenaline. The hormone floods into your bloodstream and jumps into action by connecting to adrenoceptors, which can be found in cells in almost every organ.When a large amount of the chemical is produced all at once—more than 10 times higher than when you're calm—it's called an adrenaline rush.
That flood has lots of noticeable effects, and each one is intended to protect you in a dangerous situation. Your pupils might widen to let more light into your eyes so you can see more of your surroundings. Your brain begins to work faster to draw up a plan. Your heart beats more rapidly and pumps extra blood to your muscles, also delivering a surge of oxygen from your lungs. All of these effects build up anxious feelings. That's why it might seem as if your head is spinning, your thoughts are racing, or your heart is beating out of your chest.
12．Why is the strong feeling mentioned in Paragraph 1
A．To introduce the topic. B．To present research data.
C．To record an experience. D．To address healthy issues.
13．What can hormone adrenaline do
A．Relieve mental nervousness.
B．Help react in risky situations.
C．Voice signals of blood disorder.
D．Prevent the body from taking action.
14．When will an adrenaline rush happen
A．Our brain senses curiosity.
B．Hormone floods into bones.
C．Adrenaline levels rise sharply.
D．Chemicals are found in the cell.
15．What is the last paragraph mainly about
A．The reason for anxious feelings.
B．The effect of the brain on making plans.
C．The positive roles an adrenaline rush plays.
D．The importance of recognizing headaches.

Shaping, drying, glazing and firing... in less than 5 minutes, a mini vase only millimeters in size starts to take shape as viewers watch on. As the founder of a miniature ceramics (微型陶瓷) studio, Wang Wenhua never expected that his works would surprise viewers in China, let alone those abroad, and that his short videos would earn over 45 million views and 4.2 million likes on a video application.
Having worked in China's "Porcelain Capital (瓷都)" Jingdezhen in East China's Jiangxi Province for 14 years, Wang said he had once seen the world's biggest ceramic here but he had never seen the smallest, so he decided one day to try something different — making micro porcelain.
Things were not easy in the beginning, and many people doubted him. "They called me crazy and mocked me when I went to factories and asked them to help make miniature tools for me to create micro pottery. Even my wife did not support me," Wang said.
However, Wang did not give up and after about half a year of experimentation, Wang finally made miniature tools on his own and was able to complete his first miniature porcelain — a vase.
According to Wang, the key to making a miniature ceramic work is concentration and a pair of steady hands. After numerous attempts, Wang found that the smallest works he could get were about 2 millimeters in size. "It would probably miss my original intention if I made micro pottery using a microscope, so I have focused more attention on making the smaller pieces more beautiful and complex," said Wang.
The smallest vase that Wang has made is a bowl only 2 millimeters tall, 3 millimeters wide and 1 millimeter thick. Wang says he plans to apply for the Guinness World Records for the world's smallest pottery work.

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，解释了人类的眼睛没有长在脑后的原因。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解，代词指代和推理判断三个题型的考查，是一篇科普类阅读，通读全文，理解文章大意，阅读题目后返回原文阅读并找出与题目相对应的内容，仔细核对，选择符合原文原意的答案，完成后再次阅读并检查。
8．考查细节理解。根据第一段"Why don't we have eyes in the back of our heads There are at least two reasons. Eyes are biologically expensive things to make and rear-view (后视) eyes don't fit well into the human evolution (进化)."为什么我们的眼睛没有长在脑后？至少有两个原因。眼睛从生物学角度上说是昂贵的东西，而后视的眼睛并不适合人类的进化。可知，人类没有后视的眼睛是因为它们并不适合人类的进化，被自然选择所抛弃。故选D。
9．考查推理判断。根据第二段中的"Even animals, such as rabbits, whose main survival advantage is rear vision, have only the side eyes. Rear vision is not so important."即使是兔子等主要生存优势是后视的动物，也只有侧眼。后视并不是那么重要。可知，本段主要通过列举兔子、蜘蛛和鸟类的例子，告诉我们后视并不是那么重要，它并不是生存的必备条件。可推知，第二段的主要目的是说明后视并不是生存的必要条件。故选B。
10．考查代词指代。根据第三段中的"Rear vision is useful only if the potential threat is visible."只有在潜在威胁是可以看见的时候，后视才有用。可知，后视只对脑后发生的可见的威胁是有用的。可推知，that代指的是"脑后的可见的威胁"，画线词所在句子表示"在人类进化过程中，脑后的可见的威胁的情况并不经常发生。"，"The visible threat behind the head"意为"脑后的可见的威胁"，符合句意。故选A。
11．考查推理判断。根据第一段"Why don't we have eyes in the back of our heads There are at least two reasons. Eyes are biologically expensive things to make and rear-view (后视) eyes don't fit well into the human evolution (进化)."为什么我们的眼睛没有长在脑后？至少有两个原因。眼睛从生物学角度上说是昂贵的东西，而后视的眼睛并不适合人类的进化。可知，本文主要向我们解释了人类的眼睛没有长在脑后的原因，这是一篇科普知识类的文章，因此，文章最有可能选自一本科学杂志。故选C。
D
You've probably felt it at some point in life: a red face, a huge heart, and a coating of sweat on your palms. That intense feeling, also known as an adrenaline (肾上腺素) rush, is caused by stress, nervousness, or excitement.
What happens to the body in any of those scenes is the same. "The special phenomenon begins in organs called adrenal glands(肾上腺). They secrete (分泌) the hormone adrenaline, preparing your body to take action ", says Alan Goodman,a professor of biological anthropology (人类学) at Hampshire College in Massachusetts. "The chemical helps you respond in high risk situations—and even to fight or flee. "
In fact, as soon as your brain senses danger, it tells your body to start making adrenaline. The hormone floods into your bloodstream and jumps into action by connecting to adrenoceptors, which can be found in cells in almost every organ.When a large amount of the chemical is produced all at once—more than 10 times higher than when you're calm—it's called an adrenaline rush.
That flood has lots of noticeable effects, and each one is intended to protect you in a dangerous situation. Your pupils might widen to let more light into your eyes so you can see more of your surroundings. Your brain begins to work faster to draw up a plan. Your heart beats more rapidly and pumps extra blood to your muscles, also delivering a surge of oxygen from your lungs. All of these effects build up anxious feelings. That's why it might seem as if your head is spinning, your thoughts are racing, or your heart is beating out of your chest.
12．Why is the strong feeling mentioned in Paragraph 1
A．To introduce the topic. B．To present research data.
C．To record an experience. D．To address healthy issues.
13．What can hormone adrenaline do
A．Relieve mental nervousness.
B．Help react in risky situations.
C．Voice signals of blood disorder.
D．Prevent the body from taking action.
14．When will an adrenaline rush happen
A．Our brain senses curiosity.
B．Hormone floods into bones.
C．Adrenaline levels rise sharply.
D．Chemicals are found in the cell.
15．What is the last paragraph mainly about
A．The reason for anxious feelings.
B．The effect of the brain on making plans.
C．The positive roles an adrenaline rush plays.
D．The importance of recognizing headaches.
【答案】12．A
13．B
14．C
15．C
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了肾上腺激素激增的原因及表现。
【点评】考查阅读理解，涉及到细节理解，推理判断和段落大意，细节理解题比较常规，注意关键词和关键信息的理解即可，推理题在这属于推理文章结构，一般来说举例的作用是引出主题或者举例说明，段落大意要注意寻找段落中的关键句。
12．推理判断。第一段写到了一些强烈的感受a red face, a huge heart, and a coating of sweat on your palms（红扑扑的脸，巨大的心，还有你手掌上的一层汗珠），并且指出这些作为肾上腺素飙升而被人熟知，引出了文章主要介绍的对象，因此应该是为了引出主题，故选A。
13．细节理解。根据第二段They secrete (分泌) the hormone adrenaline, preparing your body to take action和The chemical helps you respond in high risk situations—and even to fight or flee.（它们分泌荷尔蒙肾上腺素，让你的身体做好采取行动的准备。这种化学物质可以帮助你在高风险的情况下做出反应——甚至是战斗或逃跑）可知荷尔蒙肾上腺素可以帮助在危险情况下反应，故选B。
14．细节理解。根据第三段When a large amount of the chemical is produced all at once—more than 10 times higher than when you're calm—it's called an adrenaline rush.（当大量的化学物质同时产生时——比你平静时高出10倍——这被称为肾上腺素激增。）可知，肾上腺素激增时肾上腺素水平会急速上升，故选C。
15．段落大意。根据最后一段第一句：That flood has lots of noticeable effects, and each one is intended to protect you in a dangerous situation.（这种急速增长有很多明显的影响，每一个都是为了在危险的情况下保护你）可知最后一段讲的是肾上腺素激增的积极作用，故选C。

（9）句意：除了风筝，节日还包括其他活动，如中国歌舞，以及功夫表演。festival此处特指此次风筝节，前面应用定冠词the。故a改为the。
（10）句意：人们可以在节日里愉快地度过这一天。此处副词修饰动词 spend 作状语，故 happy 改为happily 。
