Everybody knows that Massachusetts is a great place to see fall leaves. But surely there are
other places to catch the leaves turning green to reddish-golden? The short answer is yes.
Aspen, Colorado
Aspen—as its name suggests—doesn’t fail to impress with its backdrop of majestic
snow-capped mountains. Head to the Maroon Bells to look into mirror-like lakes to see double: on
a calm day, the mountains and trees are reflected in the still waters.
Bavaria, Germany
Take a trip into a Brothers Grimm fairytale. Not only can you catch breathtaking
views—such as castles emerging from red, green and golden trees—but you can experience the
region’s fall traditions, such as the “Almabtrieb” event, bringing in the cattle from the grasslands,
and local parish (教区) fairs, called “Kirchweih-Feste” where beer is everywhere.
Catskills, Upstate New York
If spotting fall in one state isn’t enough, head to the Catskills, where you can see five states at
once. Head to the Northern Catskills of Greene County, to the “Five State Lookout” in Windham,
where you can view treetops in New York, Vermont, Connecticut, Massachusetts, and New
Hampshire, as well as beautiful scenery of the Hudson River Valley.
Edinburgh, Scotland
This city is made for fall with its tree-lined streets and big open parks. Head to Princes Street
Gardens, which is home to some of the city’s most typical monuments, such as the storybook-style
Gardeners’ Cottage and the Scott Monument, or take a hike through Holyrood Park, marveling as
the russet tones (红褐色) cover the rolling hills which climb up to the famed Arthurs Seat offering
full views of the city and beyond.

In about a week I will start one of my most expected adventures ever. Sarek National Park will
be a mission. It is not a place for the unprepared. It is a place for adventurous hearts who are looking
for solitude ( 独处), wildness and a connection with nature that is hard to find on our planet these
days. High up in the north of Sweden at the border with Norway, it is called the last European
Wilderness.
The preparation for this trip started a few months ago. I tried to prepare in the best way possible
as this is uncharted territory for me. It will be the first hike really off the beaten path. I will not go
into details until I get back and actually know what I am talking about.
There are a few things to keep in mind when you plan to hike in Sarek National Park. First of
all, there are no huts or any accommodation. If you are at the heart of Sarek you will be at least a 4-5
days hike away from the next mountain hut. So this means I will have to carry everything I need for
8-10 days. The biggest part of the load will be food. There are no paths or waymarks. I will have to
make my own route with GPS and maps.
In addition, the weather can be very challenging. Sarek is the area in Sweden with the heaviest
rainfall. It is also known for strong wind and there're not many places to shelter from it because there
are hardly any trees. It is important to bring professional hiking gear ( 装备). Finding and choosing a
good campsite might take some time as well.
4. What kind of destination does the author consider Sarek National Park to be?
A. Popular and convenient. B. Busy and well-connected.
C. Remote and forest-covered. D. Attractive and demanding.
5. What does the underlined word “uncharted” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Not explored. B. Not accepted. C. Not vast. D. Not dangerous.
6. What will the author do in Sarek National Park?
A. Make a map of Sarek. B. Build shelters for tourists.
C. Reach the depths of Sarek. D. Measure the rainfall of Sarek.

7. What is the author's purpose in writing paragraph 4?
A. To explain why there are few trees there.
B. To recommend ways of finding good campsites.
C. To discuss causes of heavy rains and strong wind.
D. To remind possible travelers of the challenging weather.
C
When Kurt Benirschke started collecting skin samples from rare and endangered animals in
1972, he didn’t have a plan on what to do with them. As a researcher at the University of
California San Diego, he believed that one day the tools would be developed to save those animals.
A few years later, he moved his collection to San Diego Zoo, and called it the Frozen Zoo. Today,
the Frozen Zoo is the world’s largest animal cryobank (生物冷库), with samples from over 10,500
individual animals from 1,220 species.
Since the Frozen Zoo was founded, Oliver Ryder, a geneticist at San Diego Zoo, says many
achievements have been reached in the field of genetics, starting with the cloning of the first
animal—a sheep named Dolly in 1996. Since 2001, four endangered species have been cloned
using genetic material from the Frozen Zoo: the Indian Gaur, a humpbacked Asian wild ox; the
Banteng, a Southeast-Asian species of cattle; Przewalski’s horse and the Black-footed ferret.
In recent years, the clock has been ticking for many species in danger. According to the WWF
Living Planet Report 2020, as a result of loss of habitat due to human activities, one million
species—animals and plants—are threatened with extinction over the coming decades and
centuries. With the current rate of biodiversity loss, some scientists believe collecting samples
from species that might not be here tomorrow is a scientific must-do.
One of the main challenges will be persuading conservation agencies that cryobanking is a
reasonable strategy and worth funding. “Many of us are doing this without any national or
government support beyond donations,” says Lisa Yon, an associate professor of zoo and wildlife
medicine at the University of Nottingham. “Cryobanking is increasingly being recognized as an
important resource, so it’s a bit puzzling that there isn’t more funding support.”
8. Why did Kurt Benirschke start the Frozen Zoo?
A. To attract more visitors. B. To find new tools for research.
C. To sell samples more conveniently. D. To help save endangered animals.
9. What might be Oliver Ryder’s attitude towards the Frozen Zoo?
A. Doubtful. B. Positive. C. Unclear. D. Uncaring.
10. What can be learned from paragraph 3?
A. Biodiversity is in great danger. B. WWF is working with the Frozen Zoo.
C. Wildlife population is getting bigger. D. The Frozen Zoo has stored 1,220 species.
11. What is the text mainly about?
A. The efforts of Kurt Benirschke. B. The development in cloning.
C. The importance of the Frozen Zoo. D. The problem of genetic technology.

Do you get nervous thinking about a coming math test? If yes, you are far from alone. Math
anxiety has become a common condition among students around the world. Students in countries
with higher levels of math anxiety tend to achieve lower math grades, according to a study
published by the National Academy of Sciences on Feb. 15th.
Math anxiety — a negative emotional reaction to the core subject — causes fear, physical
suffering and behavior problems among young pupils, according to a University of Cambridge
study. Some people also experience physical symptoms such as sweaty palms or a racing heart.
They may then try to avoid every situation involving numbers, meaning they are held back from
pursuing careers related to this subject, such as technology or engineering, according to The
Guardian.
Relief comes from the fact that those with math anxiety aren’t destined (注定的) to be bad at
math. “If a child has math anxiety, don’t assume that they’re not good at math. They may have had
a really bad experience with math and there are ways to improve math achievement,” Daniel
Ansari, the senior author of the study told The London Free Press.
Also, there are ways to manage your stress related to math. If you’re feeling stressed before a
math exam, it may help to spend a few minutes exploring those feelings before the exam begins.
“It’s about making sure you’re interpreting your feelings correctly,” Sian Beilock, a cognitive
scientist told the BBC. “Just because you have a fast heartbeat and sweaty palms, that does not
necessarily mean you will fail.”
Math doesn’t come easy, no matter how clever you are. Leonardo da Vinci, the famous Italian
artist, was a huge fan of mathematics. But his notebooks show that Da Vinci couldn’t do fractions
(分数). He could never grasp, for instance, that dividing a number by one-quarter is the same as
multiplying by four, resulting in a higher number than the original.
12. What do we know about math anxiety?
A. It is most commonly seen among teenagers.
B. Math anxiety leads to people struggling in their career.
C. It can cause unpleasant symptoms both mentally and physically.
D. People who are good at math don’t experience math anxiety.
13. What does Daniel Ansari’s study imply?
A. Math anxiety may contribute to better grades.
B. Students with math anxiety may have higher cognitive abilities.
C. Bad experience with math can cause cognitive disadvantages.
D. Math anxiety does not reflect the ability to solve math problems.
14. How should you deal with the stress related to math according to the article?
A. Practice more before you take math exams. B. Learn to understand your feelings.
C. Ask cognitive experts for help. D. Take all nervous energy as a challenge.

{#{QQABIQIAogggABJAAAhCQwWqCEIQkACACCoOwBAMoAAASAFABAA=}#}
15. Why is Leonardo da Vinci’s story mentioned?
A. To show that math definitely isn’t easy.
B. To suggest a way to solve math anxiety.
C. To show Da Vinci’s math anxiety is very serious.
B. To explain why math is a particularly difficult subject.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余
选项。
Think back to the last time you shopped for fruits and vegetables. You may have noticed
some items labelled with the word “organic”. 16
“Organic” refers to the way food is grown. To be labelled as organic, food production must
meet strict guidelines. These can be different depending on where you live. In the United States,
organic foods must be grown or raised without using pesticides or chemical fertilizers.
17 That changed after the Industrial Revolution. During the 20th century, many ideas
that were used by factories and big businesses were put into action on farms. This helped some
farms grow larger and produce more.
The organic movement was started to get back to the old traditional ways of farming. Why?
Many believe the chemicals and pesticides used in modern farming can be harmful to your health.
18 And those who support the organic movement also point to its benefits for the
environment.
Have you ever compared organic and non-organic foods at the grocery store? If so, you know
that organic food tend to cost more. This happens for many reasons. Organic farming produces
fewer crops. 19 Additionally, organic farms spend more money taking care of the animals
they raise. These and other factors drive the cost of organic food up.
Is organic food worth the extra cost? Some people believe it is. They may think it tastes better
or just prefer to eat food that has not been grown using chemicals. 20 They are still trying
to find a major difference between organic and non-organic food in terms of safety, nutrition, or
taste. Still, others argue that the environmental benefits of organic food make it worth the price.
A. Have you ever wondered what that means?
B. The cost of production is also usually higher.
C. For most of history, almost all food was organic.
D. Are you wondering if organic food is right for you?
E. Many people are willing to pay more for organic food.
F. Some also think organic foods are naturally more nutritious.
G. Scientists have studied organic and non-organic foods for many years now.

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。
As Amy walked home from school one afternoon, she saw images of symmetry (对称) all
around her: in the faces of people, in the buildings she passed, and in the cars that went by. Even
the autumn leaves that covered the sidewalk. A butterfly landed on a branch above her, and Amy
suddenly stopped. She held her breath and smiled, watching as it opened and closed its perfectly
symmetrical wings.
All that month, Amy’s class had been studying different forms of symmetry, and Amy was
deeply attracted. They’d observed the mirror symmetry of violins and the rotational symmetry of
starfish. They’d even studied symmetry using a microscope and recorded the beauty with a phone
camera. Now Mr. Garcia, their science teacher, had given them their final assignment: to find the
most beautiful example of symmetry and give a report to the class on it.
“The most beautiful example of symmetry. What on earth could that be?” Amy asked herself.
She finally decided to use her microscope to find one. Amy spent hours in the garden on the
examination of cells, pieces of rock, and drops of pond water. Although she was amazed by what
she saw, none was truly beautiful.
“What are you bringing to class?” Amy asked her friend Cathy on the bus ride to school. “A
model airplane,” replied Cathy proudly. “And my brother Mathew is bringing his guitar.” Those
things are nice, thought Amy, but there must be something more beautiful.
That evening, she stayed with her microscope until her father called out, “Get inside, Amy.
It’s freezing outside. The weather forecast says it’s going to snow.”
Amy’s heart sank. There would be fewer things to study under the microscope. Snow would
cover the area like a blanket, hiding everything from sight. Her assignment was due in just a few
days. Amy began to feel panic as she was packing up her microscope. Then she caught sight of
something white blown onto the stage of her microscope. Yes! The snowflake (雪花)! She looked
through the microscope and was amazed by its beauty.
注意：1. 续写词数应为 150 左右；2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1:
“I have to show it to my class,” Amy cried excitedly.
Paragraph 2:
Finally, it was the day to report.

“I have to show it to my class,” Amy cried excitedly. She took a closer look through the
microscope again and was surprised to find that there was nothing there! The snowflake melted
and disappeared taking all of its beauty with it. “No! Wait!” cried Amy. She had to take the
snowflake to class, but how? Suddenly, A good idea occurred to Amy that she could record the
beauty by taking some pictures. Being wild with joy, she ran to her house and picked up her
camera. Within minutes, she managed to attach it to the microscope, carefully placed another
snowflake on the microscope’s stage and took a series of pictures, feeling eager to share her
findings with the class.
Finally, it was the day to report. Amy took the photos to the class, which amazed the
classmates and the science teacher. Each snowflake was different, symmetrical, and unbelievably
beautiful. Amy saw this magic moment when the whole class were enjoying the most beautiful
example of symmetry—their eyes were shining and their faces lit up. The teacher praised Amy for
her careful observation, making Amy happy and proud. As a matter of fact, life is full of beauty
and mystery once you put your heart into it.
