Here are famous national parks where travellers mostly like to go in America. 1. Great Smoky Mountains National Park Visitors: 11,388,893 The name “Great Smoky Mountains” comes from the fog over this mountain range situated along the North Carolina-Tennessee border. Established in 1934, it is not just home to a diverse ecosystem of plants and animals, but also home to rich Appalachian cultures. Visitors there can see over 100 waterfalls, go boating on Fontana Lake and hike the Appalachian Trail. Its also an excellent vantage point to see the leaves change in the fall. 2. Grand Canyon National Park Visitors: 6,254,238 TheGrand Canyonis the result of over 70 million years of geological events creating the Colorado Plateau, glaciers and valleys, while the Colorado River carved its way through the valleys. It is truly a natural splendor! When President Roosevelt first visited it in 1903, he said, “The Grand Canyon fills me with awe. It is beyond comparison – beyond description.”16 years later, it was signed by President Woodrow Wilson, officially viewing the Grand Canyon a national park. 3. Yosemite National Park Visitors: 4,336,890 In addition to being a national park, Yosemite is designated as a World Heritage Site. Yosemite National Park is in Central California in the western Sierra Nevada.

I was walking down a dirt road with snowy woods on either side of me. I was all alone. I couldn’t see another person anywhere. All at once, however, I saw someone walking towards me in the distance. As this person got closer and closer I realized that it was me. It was me from many years ago, fresh-faced and young. I could see in his mind all the dreams and hopes that he had too. They had, after all, once been my own. I was overjoyed. I had so many things I wanted to say to this younger me. I wanted to spare him the pain I had suffered and the mistakes I had made. I wanted to share with him all that I had learned over the long years of my life. I wanted to show him how his life would turn out so different from what he had thought and hoped it would, but that it would be much better and happier than the path he was now on. I wanted him not to waste so many years on the things his ego（自我）thought were so vital but instead to realize that love was the most important thing in this life. I opened my mouth to say all of these things but couldn’t. I realized at that moment that even if I told him he wouldn’t believe me. He would have to walk the road I had walked, learn the things I had learned, and go through all I had gone through. He would have to find truth in his own way and in his own time. I let him walk on by and watched as he disappeared in the distance. Then I turned to continue on my own way and woke up. In this life there are no shortcuts（捷径）.We all have to walk the road. We all have to travel through sorrow as well as joy. We all have to learn to love. We all have to grow into who we were meant to be. It takes our whole lives. Yet, it is a journey worth making. 24.Who did the author meet in his dream? A. himself and another person B. himself from the future C. someone he didn’t know D. himself from the past 25.What did the author want to do? A. He wanted to forgive himself. B. He wanted to share something. C. He wanted to show his life could be better. D. He wanted to indicate ego thought is vital. 26.Why couldn’t the author say anything that he wanted to say? A. Because he thought he wouldn’t be trusted. B. Because he hadn’t learned much in life. C. Because he let himself go. D. Because he woke up. 27.What can be inferred from the passage? A. Love is not always the most important in life. B. If we walk the road alone, we can walk better. C. Everyone has to make his own life journey. D. It’s impossible to grow into who were meant to be. C When we meet someone for the first time, we usually get a vague sense of what kind of person they are by the way they shake hands, talk, or walk. In the age of social networking, however, first impressions are sometimes made even before we actually meet someone in person---that is, by looking at their profile photo. According to a recent study, these social images say a lot about our personality. In the study, presented in a paper at the International AAAI Conference on Web and Social Media, a group of researchers from the University of Pennsylvania in the US used software to analyze the profile pictures of 66,000 users of US social platform Twitter and 3,200 of their tweets. At the same time, about 434 participants were asked to complete a survey about their personality type. The researchers wanted to find out if there was a connection between personality traits—like openness, extroversion, and neuroticism(神经质)—and a person’s profile picture. According to the results, open people are more likely to pose in an unusual way and use objects such as glasses or a guitar in their profile photo because they enjoy new and exciting experiences. Meanwhile, neurotic people often hold back their negative emotions. They try to avoid showing their face；Instead, they use an image of something like a pet, a car or a building. Apart from the objects in profile pictures, the colors used in them also give us some hints about the photo’s owner. For example, extraverts were found to have the most colorful profile images, as they want to emphasize their personality and show themselves off, the researchers wrote. Although social media photos “usually represent an extension of one’s self, they also allow a user to shape his or her own personality and idealized view,” according to the researchers. So, when choosing a profile photo, maybe we should ask ourselves first what kind of image we’d like to convey. After all, first impressions always last. 28.What helps form the first impressions with the development of network? A. Shaking hands B. Greetings C. Profile pictures D. Gestures 29. What’s the purpose of the study? A. To analyze the users’ preference. B. To conduct a survey about personality type. C. To explore the formation of first impression. D. To seek out the link between characters and profile photos. 30. According to the study, an outgoing person may ________. A. choose a puppy dog as an image B. share a distinct pose in his photo C. fill his profile photo with light colors D. care little about his image 31.What is the best title for the text? A. Be Mindful of Your Personality B. Make Use of Your Social Image C. First Impressions Make a Difference D. Profile Photos Reveal Your Personality D Janus, the Roman god, has two faces looking in opposite directions. So does artificial intelligence (AI). On one side are the positive changes, enabling people to achieve more, far more quickly, by using technology to improve their existing skills. Look the other way, though, and there are plenty of potential pitfalls. Like Janus, technological change may also cause disruption（混乱）, but AI is likely to have a bigger impact than anything since the appearance of computers, and its consequences could be far more disruptive. In the years ahead, AI will raise three big questions for bosses and governments. One is the effect on jobs. Although CEOs publicly praise the broad benefits AI will bring, their main interest lies in cutting costs. One European bank asked Infosys to find a way of reducing the staff in its operations department from 50,000 to 500. The McKinsey Global Institute estimates that by 2030 up to 375m people, or 14% of the global workforce, could have their jobs replaced by AI. A second important question is how to protect privacy as AI spreads. The internet has already made it possible to track people’s digital behaviour in minute detail. AI will offer even better tools for businesses to monitor consumers and employees, both online and in the physical world. Consumers are sometimes happy to go along with this if it results in personalised service or promotions. But AI is bound to bring invasion of privacy that is seen as unacceptable. For example, law-enforcement officials around the world will use AI to spot criminals, but may also monitor ordinary citizens. The third question is about the effect of AI on competition in business. A technology company that achieves a major breakthrough in artificial intelligence could race ahead of rivals, put others out of business and lessen competition. This is unlikely to happen in the near future, but if it did it would be of great concern. It is too early to tell whether the positive changes brought by AI will outweigh the risk. But it will put an end to traditional ways of doing things and start a new era for business and for the world at large. 32. Janus is mentioned to ________. A.introduce the topic B. praise the Roman god C.tell its difference D.support AI 33.The underlined word “pitfalls” in paragraph 1 is probably means ________. A. consequences B. risks C. effects D. benefits 34. What’s the main idea of the passage? A. AI is a double-edged sword. B. People show great concern about AI. C. privacy is threatened by AI. D. AI will enjoy a bright future. 35. What’s the author’s attitude towards AI? A. Objective. B. Positive. C. Worried. D. Subjective. 第二节 （共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分） 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。 Some Myths You Strongly Keep Believing Are Untrue There are varieties of false myths we spread from day to day. 36. Otherwise, people will continue to believe such ridiculous myths undoubtedly. You will realize some of the most acceptable facts are completely untrue. Men get beer bellies from beer. We blame the beer for the belly. It is widely believed that men who constantly drink beer end up with a beer belly. However, it is not the beer that’s to blame, but the abundance of unhealthy snacks that often accompany the drink. Alcohol in beer irritates the stomach, therefore causing an increased appetite. Dr. Michael Jensen, an obesity specialist in Minnesota USA says that drinking beer makes liver burn alcohol instead of fat, leaving the latter to accumulate in the waste. 37, while the one of women’s accumulates in the hips and bottoms, as a result of different sexual characteristics. 38. We are told that dogs see the world in black and white. But the truth is that they can distinguish colors just not in the same way we do. Jay Needs from the University of Washington in Seattle proves that our furry friends are able to receive a limited range of colors, which means they can distinguish objects of the same shape. In general, a dog’s vision is very similar to that of a person with red-green color blindness. Carrots improve eyesight. 39. This myth came into existence during the Second World War. The British Army claimed that fighter pilots had excellent night vision as a result of their consumption of large quantities of carrots. Actually, they had radars onboard which made it faster and easier to detect the enemies. The myth about the amazing power of carrots was invented and spread by the media so that enemies would not learn about the fact. 40. A. Dogs can distinguish colors B. Men’s fat is stored in their bellies C. Dogs see the world in black and white D. Men’s fat is not mostly accumulated in these parts E. Eventually, it spread all over the world and people are still convinced of it F. We agree with the view that eating carrots plays an essential part in good vision G. It is high time that scientists created a separate department dedicated to exposing the truth 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节， 满分45分） 第一节 完形填空（共20 小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A, B, C, D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 My son Sam is 16 and autistic (患自闭症的).
