【題目】 Need a fall fix? Try one from these great places.

1. Mackinac Island, Michigan

The only way to reach this famed car-free island is by boat and ferry, and once visitors arrive, they are attracted by the history, scenery and fall colors. “It’s a throwback to years past, a little town, and there’s a big state park as well,” Blackwell says. “ You’re allowed to have boats all around the island.”

2. Tellico Lake, Tennessee

With nearly 400 miles of shoreline, this waterway flowing out of the Great Smoky Mountains is largely unexploited, well-protected in its natural state. Fall visitors find a range of colors reflecting in the clean waters, says Blackwell, who vacationed in the area with his family as a child. “The thick forest there just allows you to see more greenery and wildlife."

3. Dillon Reservoir, Colorado

With an hour from Denver, this lake is home to what claims to be the nation's highest sailing club, at an altitude of more than 9,000 feet. Marinas in the towns of Dillon and Frisco make it easy to get out on he water and to see the bright yellows and golds of fall leaves. “ People are surprised that there's boating in Colorado, and you can see the mountains just before the snowball," Blackwell says.

4. Lake Monroe, Indiana

The state’s largest lake is surrounded by more than 13,000 acres of protected forest and three recreation areas, making it an ideal place to see fall colors, particularly from oaks and the tulip poplar, the state tree. “ It’s a gem (寶石) in southern Indiana," says Blackwell, who grew up in the area. “There are lots of different activities: canoeing, kayaking and fishing.”

1What is special about Mackinac Island?

A.It’s like a modern city.B.Visitors can’t take a boat around it.

C.Visitors can see various wildlife there.D.Visitors can’t go there by cars.

2Which is suitable for someone looking for an undeveloped place for vacation?

A.Mackinac Island, Michigan.B.Tellico Lake, Tennessee.

C.Dillon Reservoir, Colorado.D.Lake Monroe, Indiana.

3What do the four places have in common?

A.Blackwell once travelled there.B.They are all famous tourist destinations.

C.They are surrounded by thick forests.D.Visitors can enjoy fall colors there.

【題目】 Organic food is very popular. It is also expensive. Some organic food costs twice as much as non-organic food, but new parents and pet owners are willing to pay up to 200% more for organic food. However, there are people who think it is a waste of money.

There is one main difference between organic and non-organic food. Organic farms do not use agricultural chemicals, such as pesticides(殺蟲(chóng)劑). In many countries organic foods have special labels. These guarantee that the products are natural.

Some people think organic means locally grown. Originally this was true. Over time organic farming became more difficult. The demand for organic food grew larger than the supply. Small companies had to sell out to large companies. There weren’t enough organic ingredients(原料), such as grain and cattle. This made it difficult for many organic companies to stay in business. Today, many large companies have an organic line of products.

Is organic food more nutritious? This is part of the debate. Many farmers and consumers believe it is. They think agricultural chemicals cause health problems such as cancer. Many health professionals disagree. Few studies prove that organic foods prevent health problems. Health specialists worry more about bacteria(病毒), such as E. coli and salmonella. These can get into contact with organic and non-organic food. Doctors recommend washing produce very carefully. Handling meat carefully is important too.

Most people agree that naturally grown food tastes better. Is tastier food worth the extra money? This is a matter of opinion. Whether it is healthier or not may require more research. However, organic consumers argue it is better to be safe than sorry.

1What is probably the major concern of organic food consumers?

A.Price.B.Safety.C.Freshness.D.Variety.

2What is the doctors’ suggestion?

A.Grow your own food.B.Reduce the use of pesticides.

C.Make sure the food is clean.D.Buy large companies’ products.

3Which of the following do most people agree on organic food?

A.It tastes better.B.It is easier to grow.

C.It contains more fat.D.It is more nutritious.

4Where does this text probably come from?

A.A recipe book.B.A chemistry paper.

C.A medical report.D.A health magazine.

【題目】 When HarmonyOs, the Chinese self-developed operating system for Huawei mobile devices, was released on Aug 9, it quickly became a hot topic on social media. Many believe it not only represents the rise of the country as a tech power, but also shows respect to classical Chinese culture by naming the system "Hongmcng " in Chinese.

"Hongmeng" is a classical word from Zhuangzi. In the ancient times of Chinese legend and myths (神話),“Hongmeng" was used to describe the original state of the universe before matter existed. For HarmonyOS, "Hongmeng" indicates the developers’ aim to make an innovative operating system, unlike any other.

Besides "Hongmeng'", Hunwei has also registered many of its products under the names of legendary creatures from Chinese myths. For example, the company's Kirin mobile chip got its name after a lucky monster called "Qilin". And its server chip is calked "Kunpeng”, a creature that changed from a fish into a giant bird.

Many Chinese Internet users and media have praised Huawei's use of these names," as they stand for Chinese wisdom and ancient people’s imagination and spirit of exploration”, Global Times noted.

In fact, Huawei is not alone in using traditional culture for modern ventures. Ne Zha, the new film, also portrays traditional culture in a modern context. The movie is loosely based on the well-known work of classical Chinese myth The Investiture of the Gods. Earlier this month it became the biggest animated movie in China and was called “ the glory of domestic anime (國(guó)產(chǎn)動(dòng)漫)”.

Indeed, the long history and splendid classic works have given China a profound culture. Myths and legends are the creative works of tremendous imagination. As Global Times put it, today by revisiting a modern context, “ ancient myths has the power to inspire imagination in young people”. After all, imagination is the beginning of creation.

1What do we know about HamonyOS?

A.Its release raised a storm of objections.

B.It is named after creature in myth.

C.It combines high technology and culture.

D.It's the best operating system.

2Which of the following best explains "innovative” underlined in Paragraph 2?

A.creativeB.modern

C.popularD.intelligent

3How do the public think of Huawei's use of the names?

A.Confused.B.Unexpected.

C.Approving.D.Doubtful.

4What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs?

A.The film Ne Zha is not adapted from myths.

B.The film Ne Zha is a big hit.

C.More businesses follow Huawei's lead.

D.Ancient myths is a good choice for entertainment.

【題目】 My first career had been related to audiology (聽(tīng)力學(xué))---one that allowed me to work part time while tending my growing family. But when my children grew up and left home, I found myself longing to be outside, not in a soundproof room in the hospital.

So I began attending classes at the local university, hoping that might lead me to a new career. 1 “What gave you pleasure as a child?” the counselor (顧問(wèn)) asked. I thought for a while before responding, “Playing outside in the woods.” Our discussion eventually led to a second master’s degree, this one in zoology, and the job as a naturalist at a state park. I was 44 years old. 2

But as I climbed the career ladder, my time in the field disappeared. I was chained to a computer screen. In the back of my mind, the career counselor’s question sounded again. “3

Shortly thereafter, an opportunity presented itself: a 4-month field research project at a university in the Netherlands. I found that field research allowed me to play in the woods again, but with a new purpose.

At the end of the project, I was invited to participate in the “sandwich” Ph.D. program, in which students do research in their home country while receiving support and instruction in the Netherlands. I was 60 years old. I didn’t think that earning a Ph. D. would further my career. 4

Still, my colleagues raised their eyebrows. “5“ they asked, “It is all about the journey,” I responded.

A. What gave you pleasure as a child?

B. I also went to see a career counselor.

C. What do you intend to do with a Ph.D.?

D. But I wanted to follow my new passion.

E. But when it was no longer right, I changed direction.

F. Can you believe you’re actually getting paid to have this much fun?

G. And I was delighted to once again experience the joy of being outdoors.
