学校：___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________
一、阅读理解
The world is full of beauty in every corner. Here are four world’s top breathtaking and
beautiful travelling destinations (
目的地
) for you to pay a visit to.
Dominica
Dominica is known as “nature island” for a reason. This tiny Caribbean state, focuses on
hot springs and long -distance walking in the rainforest rather than playing on the beach.
Boiling Lake, in the Morne Trois Pitons National Park, can be reached by mountainous paths,
a body of water that is well worth a visit.
Lake Bled, Slovenia
Lake Bled is one of the largest freshwater lakes on Earth. At its center lies a small island,
surrounded by deep blue water. It’s no surprise that Lake Bled has developed into one of the
hottest destinations in Europe in recent years. Suitable for walking and diving (
潜水
)
adventures, this is a corner of Slovenia that needs to be explored.
Samburu, Kenya
As a hard-to-reach place in the heart of Kenya, Samburu provides a quiet and safe
environment, which is good enough for some of Africa’s most unique wildlife to live in. The
rich grassland of its national nature protection area is home to the endangered giraffe, as well
as the pioneering Elephant Watch Camp.
Positano, Italy
Located on Italy’s Amalfi Coast, Positano is one of the most beautiful villages in Europe.
Famous for its special small gift shops and waterside restaurants, not to mention the
Byzantine Church (
教堂
), it makes for the perfect summer getaway. For divers, with its
colorful plants and fish, it’s a really perfect place. Make sure to see its full form by taking a
boat out from the beach for excellent sunset views.

One night, as I was driving down the road, I found something was sitting in the middle of
the road. A few seconds later, I realized I was looking at a large turtle (
海龟
). Afraid of it
being crashed by cars, so I pulled over, ran across the road and dragged the turtle to safety.
But I’d made one big mistake.
I had heard that the best way to pick up a turtle without hurting it was picking it by the
tail in order not to get bitten. So I’d made that big mistake. While the turtle turned out OK
generally, I was determined to figure out how to move a turtle properly. I needed to find
someone who dealt with turtles. I found the Ontario Turtle Conservation Centre. I talked to
Dr. Sue, its Executive and Medical Director.
Dr. Sue told me that the organization dealt with a number of aspects of turtle
conservation, including rescue, settlement, birth programs, research, and education. Sue
explained that southern Ontario is home to a vast majority of turtles in Canada, but is also one
of the vastest road networks of the country.
“Ninety percent of injured turtles brought in are caused by cars. These turtles spend a lot
of time on land. And they do travel many kilometers on land for a variety of reasons, to find a
nesting spot, or to hang out for the summer or winter. Turtles know where they want to go. So,
just keep them going in the direction they want to go and you may have saved a turtle’s life,”
Dr. Sue said.
Once an injured turtle arrives at the center, there are medical facilities (
设备
) ready to go,
including an X-ray machine. That’s when the team gets to work with healing injuries, and
help their patient.
4
、
Why did the author stop the car?
help the turtle.
prevent a car accident.
5
、
What happened to the turtle?
got hurt by people before.
was run over by a car.
6
、
What did Dr. Sue suggest at last?
g the turtles alone.
Ontario home to turtles.
was injured a little bit.
lost its direction.
see the thing clearly.
find something good.
ng the road conditions.
g turtles find nesting spots.
7
、
What does the underlined word “patient” refer to in the last paragraph?
director.
author.
driver.
turtle.
A new study in the journal of Tourism Analysis shows frequent travelers are happier with
their lives than people who don’t travel at all.
Chun-Chu Chen, an assistant professor at Washington State University, conducted a
survey to find out why some individuals travel more frequently than others and whether or
not travel and tourism experiences have a lasting effect on happiness and wellness.
The results of his analysis show individuals who pay more attention to tourism-related
information and frequently discuss their travel plans with friends are more likely to go on
regular vacations than those who aren’t constantly thinking about their next trip. Additionally,
participants in the survey who reported regularly traveling at least 75 miles away from home
also reported being about 7% happier when asked about their overall well-being than those
who reported traveling very rarely or not at all.
“While things like work, family life and friends play a bigger role in overall reports of
well-being. The accumulation (
积累
) of travel experiences’ does appear to have a small yet
noticeable effect on self-reported life satisfaction,” Chen said.
Participants in the study were asked about the importance of travel in their lives, how
much time they spent looking into and planning future vacations, and how many trips they
went on over a year. They were also asked about their life satisfaction. Out of the 500 survey
participants, a little over half reported going on more than four pleasurable trips a year. Only
7% of respondents did not take any vacations.
As travel restrictions (
限制
) due to COVID-19 pandemic begin to relax in the future, the
research could have important effects on both tourists and the tourism industry. Based on the
results of the study, Chen said travel companies, resorts and even airlines, could launch social
media campaigns, such as creating signs about the scientific benefits of vacation, to spark
people’s interest in discussing their opinions about travel.

、
Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

BBC Children in Ned surveyed 2,502 young people aged 11 to 18, whose replies
suggested that one in three regularly felt anxious or worried about their future. One in four
said that they regularly felt the need to hide negative feelings, while one in three said they did
not feel comfortable asking for help about feelings and emotions. One in four said they had
not talked to someone they trusted about their mental health in the past six months.
Researchers also surveyed 2,500 parents, with half saying that there was insufficient
support available for children struggling with’ mental health. One in six said they were not
confident in recognizing signs of poor mental health in their child. Simon Antrobus, president
of BBC Children in Need, said, “Some feelings of anxiety can be hidden, so empathizing (
共
情
) with them and letting them know that you understand why they feel the way they do can
make a real difference to a child’s health and can help prevent mental health problems from
becoming serious.”
Meanwhile a survey of 3,014 adults by the mental health charity, Mind, suggested that
the rising expenses of living is making people stressed. Half of participants said that their
mental health was being negatively affected by the financial impact of the expenses of living-
Sarah Hughes, Mind chief executive, said, “The uncertainty of watching as our costs rise can
be difficult to bear and having so much to deal with can affect our mental health. Despite this,
looking after our mental health is often last on our list.”

As is often the case, you are trying hard to keep your eyes open in class after a late
night doing piles and piles of homework, “
①
_________” You are probably thinking, “ This
weekend I’ll make up for all the sleep I have lost.”
②
_________. Most people think the same way-if you stay in bed longer on Saturdays or
Sundays, you will recover your missed sleep during the week.
However, this is not correct.
③
_________ Actually, researchers have just discovered
that sleeping during the weekend will not do you any good, but rather make you feel more
tired on Monday morning.
Our body keeps a clock inside. It tells us when to wake up in the morning and when to
feel sleepy at night. But the time on our body clock can be changed once we start taking on
different sleeping habits.
④
_________. This may mean on Monday morning we sometimes
struggle to get out of bed.
If we decide to get up only 20 minutes or half an hour later, it won’t matter. This is
because our body clock can accommodate(
顺应
) a delay of up to an hour, which means that
a short lie-in at weekends is unlikely to have any big effect, we needn’t worry about it at all.
⑤
_________
So, what should we do to balance and make up for all the sleep we’ve missed? Scientists
say that simply eight hours of sleep would do the trick, not any longer.
are not alone.
B.I need more sleep!
is important for everyone.
ng is nothing like paying back money.
r, if we sleep longer our sleep becomes less efficient.
delays of up to two hours or more can throw our body out of order.
is why staying in bed for longer than usual might confuse our body clock.

“This spring I was 12 able to finish the work to graduate from Howard University,”
Anderson said. He marked it as a 13 by calling it “a full-circle moment” and 14 his
