They were to visit all 59 parks in just 52 weeks.‎ Gates of the Arctic National Park and Preserve (in Alaska)‎ ‎ “We knew from day one that Gates of the Arctic was going to be one of the greatest challenges to do," Payne tells Smithsonian.com. "It’s remote, with no established tracks in the park. Therefore, it's hard to both get to and explore. We only saw two souls during our 82-mile float down the Noatak‎ ‎River." ‎ Isle Royale‎ National Park (on a remote island off the coast of Michigan in Lake Superior)‎ To get there you have to cross Lake Superior by ferry or seaplane, and you get the sense that you’re truly cut off the world. "We could drop down to the port to fish, jump in a boat and catch the Aurora Borealis." They even visited the home of the longest continuous predator-prey study in the world--- the Wolves and Moose of Isle Royale.‎ North‎ Cascades National Park (in Washington)‎ North Cascades may be relatively unknown, but for Payne it was like coming home. “Washington is my home state, so I know this park well," she explains. ‎ There she found the beauty she fell in love with in the past: “walls of trees; rocky, mountainous peaks; waterfalls for days; and blue lakes." Together, they hiked to Thornton‎ ‎Lakes, slept beside a lake and took plenty of scenic drives. ‎ National Park‎ of ‎American Samoa‎ (in American Somoa)‎ Later this year, Payne and Irish will visit the National Park‎ of ‎American Samoa. "It’s hard to imagine ‎ that one of the national parks is closer to Australia than it is to the mainland United States," says Payne. ‎ ‎21.Why did Jonathan Irish and Stefanie Payne decide to visit the parks? ‎ A. To satisfy their curiosity about the parks. ‎ B. To finish a task given by the National Park Service.‎ C. To raise money for the protection of wildlife. ‎ D. To celebrate the 100th birthday of the American National Park Service. ‎ ‎22.If you want to see wolves, which park should you go to? ‎ A. Gates of the Arctic‎ ‎National Park and Preserve B. Isle Royale National Park C. National Park of American Samoa D. ‎North‎ Cascades ‎National Park ‎23.What do the four parks have in common? ‎ A. They all belong to the National Park Service of America. ‎ B. They have all been visited by the couple.‎ C. They are all in the north of America. ‎ D. They all can’t be reached other than by airplane. ‎ B January 2 was the day when Dad came to Pakistan to pick us up. Mom told me that we would only continue to stay for one more month. During that time, we would pack all our stuff up and close the house. Suddenly, I remembered what Mom said two years ago when we decided to leave America for Pakistan, but now everything was happening all over again. I took a deep breath and thought about the way my life was going, “First America, then Pakistan, and once again America.” It was all like a merry-go-round that never stops. ‎ The excitement was finally coming. It was the day when we were going back to America. I was wearing my best traveling clothes, and my heart was beating faster than the speed of light. All I was wondering was where my life would take me next. I asked Dad about some of the problems we might have to face when we got back to Houston. Mom told me to calm down and take a quick nap before we landed, but I couldn’t because I was worried and excited at the same time. After a few minutes I heard harmonious music from the plane and found myself feeling dozy. The next thing was that I was asleep. ‎ When we finally stepped into our house in Houston, it felt so different and quite good. ‎ I used to be a girl who was sick of too much traveling, but now I realize that adventures are the best way to learn new things. No matter how short your journey is, it always teaches you a whole new lesson. I ‎ don’t know where I’ll end up next, but I’m sure that I’ll discover a lot. ‎ ‎24.How did the writer feel the day they were going to America? ‎ A. happy. B. foolish. C. disappointed. D. tired. ‎ ‎25.What can we infer from the passage? ‎ A. When the journey happened, it was very hot.‎ B. The writer’s parents were not living together before the journey to America. ‎ C. The writer kept asking his mother questions about his future life on the plane. ‎ D. The writer had only one week to get prepared for the move to America. ‎ ‎26.What made the writer sleep? ‎ A. The warm and pleasant weather. B. Mom’s advice before the flight. ‎ C. Some music on the plane. D. The combination of excitement and worry.‎ ‎27.Which of the following is the best title for the passage? ‎ A. A Tiring Trip to America. B. That Nice Feeling of Going Home. ‎ C. Life’s Journey --- a Non-stop Merry-go-round. D. A Future that Is Never Certain. ‎ C A mountain lion was spotted walking down a sidewalk in San Francisco‎, ‎California, which is bordered on three sides by water. That mountain lion might have even crossed the Golden Gate Bridge --- a coyote(郊狼) has been caught on camera doing just that. ‎ Small mammals like squirrels, mice and rats have always lived in cities. Most are active at night, spending their days sleeping in bushes, basements or sewers(下水道), and then coming out to hunt for their meals at night. What’s new is that larger animals that once lived only in the wilderness are coming into towns and cities in growing numbers. ‎ Deer crowd to cities to find grass and leaves in parks and gardens because wilderness lands have decreased. They also come because it’s safer, with few mountain lions --- their main enemies --- brave enough to enter cities. ‎ Mountain lions like deer the way you like ice cream. But they fear people, so they follow deer into cities only when they’re really hungry. A mountain lion once tried to enter a hotel in Reno, Nevada, and another has lived in Griffith Park in Los Angeles‎, ‎Calif.‎, for nearly five years. Black bears have slept under houses in New Jersey suburbs and broken into cabins and cars in many mountain towns. ‎ Red foxes have little fear and are now more concentrated in cities than in the wild. And bears routinely ‎ visit towns to search garbage cans. ‎ Scientists try to explain the phenomenon and here is what they come up with. ‎ Hillsides or forests that some wild animals once ruled are now covered with buildings, and the swamps where crocodiles once lived have been dried up to become golf courses. Many animals simply refuse to leave their homes after humans move in. ‎ As cities and farms occupy more of the world’s land, wilderness shrinks, forcing wild animals into cities for food. Our garbage cans and sewers are like all-you-can-eat restaurants to them. ‎ The smartest, most adaptable animals discover that even during droughts there is water in cities, where lawns are still watered and golf-course ponds remain full. ‎ ‎28.Which of the following did people see crossing the Golden Gate? ‎ A. A mountain lion. B. A coyote. C. A squirrel. D. A red fox. ‎ ‎29.According to the passage, mountain lions come into cities probably because _____. ‎ A. they have nowhere to hide when hunted. B. they like the food in restaurants. ‎ C. they mistake parks for forests. D. they are too hungry. ‎ ‎30.What are the last three paragraphs mainly about? ‎ A. Why wild animals appear in cities. ‎ B. The development of cities in recent years. ‎ C. The effect of wild animals on city development. ‎ D. What is being done to protect wild animals. ‎ ‎31.How is the passage developed? ‎ A. By following order of space. B. By following order of time. ‎ C. By stating a phenomenon and analyzing. D. By giving data and analyzing. ‎ D Rags was as brave and hardworking as the American soldiers he fought alongside during World War I. But one detail set him apart from the men serving in the War: He was a dog.‎ The homeless dog-turned soldier was just one of the millions of animals that served during the War as "military mascots(军事吉祥物)". These beasts typically acted as soldiers' companions, boosting morale when times got tough for soldiers living thousands of miles away from home.‎ But military mascots didn't just lend a supportive paw(爪子). They did real work. Some conveyed ‎ military goods. Some carried messages. And some sniffed out buried mines. But many never received any recognition for their hard work and faithfulness. Their short lives were largely forgotten - until now. ‎ Recently, the National Archives completed a scanning project --- digitizing 63,000 World War I photos. The photos took two years to get online. Most of the photos contain images of soldiers participating in various stages of military life. But by chance archivists(档案管理员) noticed something else in them: animals.‎ ‎"I'm an animal lover," says Kristin DeAnfrasio, an archivist who worked on the project. "As I was going through the photos, I kept seeing unique animals that stood out to me."‎ On further research, DeAnfrasio learned that many of the animals served as military mascots. Not much, though, is known about them. Little is known beyond the words that accompany each photo. But they provide evidence to an aspect of the war that often gets left out of the history books. Animals have often served on the battlefield. The Assyrians and Babylonians were some of the first groups to use dogs for war purposes. However, their role is often underappreciated or unknown.‎ Adoption wasn't the only way animals made their way onto the battlefield. Citizens also donated their own pets in a show of their love for the country.‎ ‎32.Which of the following did a military mascot mostly do? ‎ A. Sending messages. B. finding out buried mines. ‎ C. Transporting military goods. D. Keeping soldiers company ‎ ‎33.Why does the writer mention Rags in the first paragraph? ‎ A. Because Rags used to be homeless dog. ‎ B. To show that animals played an important part in World War I. ‎ C. To tell us that Rags is different from other animals. ‎ D. Because Rags was well-known during World War I. ‎ ‎34.What does the underlined word “boosting morale” in the second paragraph probably mean? ‎ A. lifting spirits. B. increasing food supply. ‎ C. obtaining information. D. doing housework. ‎ ‎35.What can we know from the passage? ‎ A. Military mascots were mostly given due attention during World War I.‎ B. Military mascots were all donated by citizens to show their love for their country. ‎ C. Dogs had been used in wars a long time before World War I. ‎ D. The scanning project mainly aimed to digitize photos of military mascots. ‎ 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。‎ Do you have a dream? We all do. Right? 36 It’s never too late. You want to be devoted to your dream, and you want to be you and do something that will reflect you. 37 The cold, hard truth is that time is not on your side. ‎ Here’s the good news, though. 38 Here are some tips on respecting your dream. ‎ ‎1. Stop wasting your time. ‎ ‎39 To get ahead with your dream, choose one thing that you really love. Let your choice of that one thing you really, really value be based on your formal education, experience from your current and former jobs, or even informal education. From this choice, you can develop a talent --- your dream. ‎ ‎2. Become an authority. ‎ Being an authority means being different or standing out from the crowd. 40 Make your own rules and follow them curiously. Give yourself permission to listen to others’ ideas, and only follow what’s in your favor. Figure things out by learning and using personal experiences. Prove yourself through your work and make it happen. ‎ ‎3. Start now. ‎ Make the best of the time you have now and start. Set your own schedule and structured routine, and stick to it. Starting now saves your future from regret. Find time every day to move toward your goal. ‎ A. Have you ever put your efforts into making your dream come true?‎ B. But you keep putting it off because you think you’ll have time in the future to do it. ‎ C. If so, don’t regret not chasing it. ‎ D. Be brave and tell yourself you can be one.‎ E. You can start chasing your dream while you still have time.‎ F. Why are you trading your life by doing something that doesn’t suit you?‎ G. Share your dream with your friends and listen to their advice. ‎ 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和D）中，选出可填入空白处的最佳选项。‎ It was a chilly evening. My daughter and I were walking up Broadway. I didn’t notice a guy sitting inside a cardboard box. But Nora did. She said, “That man’s 41. Daddy, can we take him home?” ‎ I don’t remember my 42. But I do remember a sudden heavy feeling inside me. I had always been delighted at how much my daughter noticed in her world, 43 it was birds in flight or children playing. But now she was noticing 44. ‎ A few days 45, I saw an article in the newspaper about volunteers who delivered meals to 46 people. Without hesitation, I 47 us up. Nora was excited about it.

Indeed, the poverty we helped 58 that Sunday was not that old woman’s 59 --- it was in our lives, too. Nora and I regularly serve meals to needy people and collect clothes for the homeless.
