Northern California holds a special place in the hearts of all hikers who have experienced this special portion of the country. Read on to choose your best potential hike.
Lassen Peak Trail
Don’t let the distance fool you. The 5-mile round-trip Lassen Peak Trail in Lassen Volcanic National Park is hot and rocky, not suitable for people in poor health, especially with weak hearts. Hikers will gain a very great height as they reach the top of Lassen Peak. Though Mount Lassen last erupted in the 20th century, the volcano here is still technically active.
Yosemite Falls Trail
The hike along Yosemite Falls Trail offers amazing views of the falls and the surrounding valley. The falls are nothing short of breathtaking as they rise more than 2,000 feet above the valley floor, making it the highest falls in North e here in the spring months to relax and see them.
Stout Memorial Grove (小树林) Trail
This trail is an absolute favorite among photographers thanks to its simple accessibility and the flat grove of well-lit precious redwoods. It also features bright green plants, fallen trunks and plenty of spots to relax among tall old trees. Although this hike is short, it usually doesn’t get too busy. Arrive early to secure a space as parking is limited.
Founders’ Grove Nature Trail
Located in Humboldt Redwoods State Park in Southern Humboldt County, the trail takes visitors to one of the most beloved valuable coastal redwood groves in California. The famed Avenue of Giants cuts through the grove at the center of an easy half-mile-long loop that’s well-marked and well-maintained, perfect for families and hiking beginners.
1. Which trail is the most physically demanding
A. Lassen Peak Trail. B. Yosemite Falls Trail.
C. Stout Memorial Grove Trail. D. Founders’ Grove Nature Trail.
2. Why are tourists recommended to come to Yosemite in spring
A. To take photos of plants. B. To see volcanoes.

Ian Happ is a professional baseball player for a baseball team in the United States. When he first started playing with the team in 2017, he was looking for pictures to hang in his home. An idea and an unlikely partnership with a British artist came from that simple desire.
Happ wanted to show Wrigley Field, the team’s ballpark, from a different artistic vision. He said that many baseball fans had been to Wrigley Field but had never seen what the ballpark looked like, from the field. He thought looking up from the field was such a cool experience that he intended to bring that to more fans. So, from his point of view, he let the British artist Patrick Vale create three large drawings of Wrigley Field. Instead of having pictures hung in his home, the partnership led to something quite different.
Happ’s views of Wrigley Field became the project, Through My Eyes, in which fans could purchase prints. The money made in this way went toward those people in need. The drawings by Vale became See What I See, an exhibition at a Chicago’s gallery. The show lasted a period of time.
Happ ever brought Vale to Chicago in September of 2018 and showed him around Wrigley Field. Vale knew little about the sport of baseball. But he understood the connection fans had with Wrigley Field. Happ had to explain to Vale the importance of the 400-foot sign in the center field and the famous manual scoreboard. He had to teach him the correct positioning of the players. He also explained what it felt like standing in the field under the bright lights with a loud crowd.
Vale took pictures and used them to help him create drawings in great detail. He was very modest and would send rough drawings to Happ, who would mark them up in red ink, like a teacher, with suggestions. It was in this way that their cooperation was so successful.
4. What did Happ ask Vale to do
A. Join the baseball team.
B. Find a different baseball field.
C. Create three pictures of his home.
D. Draw according to his own perspectives.
5. What is the main purpose of Through My Eyes
A. To hold an exhibition. B. To do charity.
C. To attract baseball fans. D. To promote the printing trade.
6. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about
A. What Vale explained to Happ.
B. How Vale corrected Happ’s mistakes.
C. What Happ and Vale felt about the field.
D. How Happ introduced Vale about Wrigley field.
7. Which word can best describe Vale
A. Humble. B. Humorous. C. Casual. D. Conventional.
【答案】4. D 5. B 6. D 7. A

Origami (折纸工艺) is now pushing the limits of what scientists think is possible, particularly at the tiniest of scales.
I know Miskin, an electrical engineer at University of Pennsylvania. He and his students have been using a clean room to make an army of robots no bigger than dust. Such tiny robots require big creativity. That’s where origami comes in. Fold patterns will bend and move the same way at any size, at least theoretically. Created by using the same techniques as the computer chip industry, Miskin’s robots look like pieces of fat with arms and legs. When the robots are exposed to electricity, their arms and legs bend easily, helping them walk through a drop on a glass slide.
Miskin sees a world of possible ways these tiny robots can be used, from industry, tourism, service to other fields. Indeed, the art form, origami, holds particular promise for many fields. For example, Rus, an AI engineer developed a robot that can fold to fit into a pill capsule. After the capsule is swallowed, the robot unfolds and can be directed around the digestive system using programmable magnetic fields. An initial test demonstrated one possible use: removing the swallowed button batteries from the stomach, a potentially deadly condition experienced by thousands of children each year. “Just imagine using it to repair a wound,” Rus says. “We’ll see a future of surgeries with no pain and no risk of infection.”
These types of big dreams are where origami seems to help science flourish most. Origami has provided d new tool to fire the imagination and create technologies once thought impossible, including a boat that folds down to be small enough to fit in a car’s trunk.
On a bright fall afternoon, I took my boat for a spin on Virginia’s Lake Accotink. The plastic suitcase drew curious looks from passers-by as I unfolded it. Perhaps one day, folding forms will be considered prosaic. But for now, origami will continue to spark wonder and excitement as it pushes science, medicine and technology into the future and keeps me afloat as I leave the lakeshore.
8. What are Miskin’s robots like
A. Flexible. B. Transparent. C. Awkward. D. Fragile.
9. Which field is Rus’s robot used in
A. Art. B. Industry. C. Medicine. D. Tourism.
10. What does the underlined word “prosaic” in the last paragraph mean
A. Fancy. B. Thrilling. C. Strange. D. Ordinary.
11. What can be the best title for the text
A. Robots: Taking on Varieties of Art Forms
B. Origami: Being Applied in the Field of Art
C. Origami: Revolutionizing Science and Technology
D. Robots: Being Powered by Electricity and Batteries
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. D 11. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章主要讲述折纸工艺激发了人们的想象力和创造力，将科学、医学和技术推向未来。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“When the robots are exposed to electricity, their arms and legs bend easily, helping them walk through a drop on a glass slide.(当机器人接触到电流时，它们的胳膊和腿很容易弯曲，帮助它们在玻璃滑梯上行走)”可知，Miskin的机器人很灵活。故选A。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“An initial test demonstrated one possible use: removing the swallowed button batteries from the stomach, a potentially deadly condition experienced by thousands of children each year. ‘Just imagine using it to repair a wound,’ Rus says. “We’ll see a future of surgeries with no pain and no risk of infection.’(最初的测试显示了一种可能的用途：将吞下的纽扣电池从胃中取出，这是每年成千上万的儿童经历的潜在致命疾病。‘想象一下用它来修复伤口，’Rus说。‘我们将看到未来的手术没有疼痛，也没有感染的风险。’)”可知，Rus的机器人被用于医疗领域。故选C。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词下一句“But for now, origami will continue to spark wonder and excitement as it pushes science, medicine and technology into the future and keeps me afloat as I leave the lakeshore.(但就目前而言，折纸工艺将继续激发奇迹和兴奋，因为它将科学、医学和技术推向未来，并让我在离开湖岸时保持漂浮)”可知，目前折纸工艺将继续激发奇迹和兴奋，划线词所在句与下文是转折关系，由此可推出此处意为“也许有一天，折纸工艺会被认为是平淡无奇的”，prosaic意为“平淡的”。故选D。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据全文内容，结合第一段“Origami (折纸工艺) is now pushing the limits of what scientists think is possible, particularly at the tiniest of scales.(折纸工艺现在正在挑战科学家们认为可能的极限，尤其是在最小的尺度上)”和最后一段中“But for now, origami will continue to spark wonder and excitement as it pushes science, medicine and technology into the future and keeps me afloat as I leave the lakeshore.(但就目前而言，折纸工艺将继续激发奇迹和兴奋，因为它将科学、医学和技术推向未来，并让我在离开湖岸时保持漂浮)”可知，文章主要讲述折纸工艺激发了人们的想象力和创造力，将科学、医学和技术推向未来。C项“折纸工艺：使科学和技术发生革命性变化”为最佳标题。故选C。
D
For some ant queens, the secret to long life might be a self-produced insulin (胰岛素) blocker. Ant queens are famously long-lived even though they shouldn’t be. Generally, animals that put lots of energy into reproduction sacrifice some time off their life. But ant queens produce millions of eggs and live an extraordinarily long time compared with worker ants that don’t reproduce.
Now, researchers have shown how one ant species pulls off this anti-aging great work. When queens of the species, Harpegnathos saltator (跳跃蚁), are prepared to reproduce, a part of what is called the insulin signaling pathway gets blocked, slowing aging. In a rare behavior for ants, when a queen H. saltator dies, some female workers begin competing in fights for the chance to replace her. These hopeful royals start laying eggs and then change into queen-like forms called gamergates (雌工虫). When a worker changes to a gamergate, her life length becomes five times as long as it was. But if she doesn’t end up becoming a queen and goes back to a worker, her lifetime shortens again.
The researchers researched this behavior in these ants. It turns out that H. saltator gamergates extend their lifetime by taking advantage of a split in the insulin signaling pathway, the chain of chemical reactions that drive insulin’s effects on the body. One branch of this pathway is involved with reproduction, while the other is linked to aging.
Examining patterns of gene activity, expert Yan and his colleagues found that gamergates have more active insulin genes than regular worker ants and, as a result, have increased metabolic (新陈代谢的) activity and physical development. But the secret sauce protecting the ants from the insulin’s aging effects appears to be what is called Imp-L2, which blocks the branch of the insulin pathway linked to aging. The branch involved in reproduction, however, remains active.
These results represent a leap forward in our understanding of extreme social insect lifetime, while also showing an anti-aging evolutionary adaptation that hasn’t been seen in the wild before.
12. How does the author begin the text
A. By listing data. B. By quoting a saying.
C. By asking a question. D. By describing a phenomenon.
13. What can we learn about gamergates from paragraph 2
A. They live longer than before.
B. They rarely fight with each other.
C. They are resistant to become queens.
D. They are five times shorter than worker ants.
14. What do we know about Imp-L2
A. It may prevent ants from aging.
B. It may reduce ants’ metabolic activity.
C. It may regulate ants’ physical development.
D. It may protect ants’ reproductive capability.
15. What does the author think of the research results
A. Complicated. B. Controversial. C. Instructive. D. Invalid.
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. A 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是蚁后长寿的秘密以及研究的过程。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据首段中的“Generally, animals that put lots of energy into reproduction sacrifice some time off their life. But ant queens produce millions of eggs and live an extraordinarily long time compared with worker ants that don’t reproduce.(众所周知，蚂蚁女王的寿命很长，尽管它们不应该如此。一般来说，将大量精力投入繁殖的动物会牺牲一些生命。但是蚁后生产数百万个卵，与不繁殖的工蚁相比，它们的寿命非常长。)”可知，众所周知，蚁后的寿命很长，一般情况下将大量精力投入到繁殖的动物会寿命短一些，但蚁后却与不繁殖的工蚁相比，寿命却非常长，由此可知，本文是通过描述一种现象引出话题。故选D项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“These hopeful royals start laying eggs and then change into queen-like forms called gamergates (雌工虫). When a worker changes to a gamergate, her life length becomes five times as long as it was.(这些充满希望的皇室成员开始产卵，然后变成女王一样的形式，被称为“雌工虫”。当一个工蚁变成一个雌工虫时，她的寿命是原来的5倍。)”可知，当一个工蚁变成雌工虫时，他们的寿命就会是原来的5倍，由此可知，他们的寿命会比以前更长。故选A项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“But the secret sauce protecting the ants from the insulin’s aging effects appears to be what is called Imp-L2, which blocks the branch of the insulin pathway linked to aging.(但保护蚂蚁不受胰岛素衰老影响的秘诀似乎是一种叫做Imp-L2的物质，它能阻断与衰老有关的胰岛素通路分支。)”可知，Imp-L2是保护蚂蚁不受胰岛素衰老影响的一种物质，它能阻断与衰老有关的胰岛素通路分支，由此可知，Imp-L2可能能够防止蚂蚁衰老。故选A项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据尾段中的“These results represent a leap forward in our understanding of extreme social insect lifetime, while also showing an anti-aging evolutionary adaptation that hasn’t been seen in the wild before.(这些结果代表了我们对极端群居昆虫寿命的理解的飞跃，同时也展现了一种在野外从未见过的抗衰老进化适应。)”可知，作者认为这些结果代表了人类对群居昆虫寿命理解的一个飞跃，由此可见，作者认为这些研究结果是增长知识的，有指导意义的。故选C项。

As a little child, I liked to stay at my grandparents’ home during the summer holiday. That impressed me was helping them with their housework and farm work. Beside, I usually did my homework for only an hour in the evening. I spent most of my time played with the kids in the neighborhood. We go fishing together and explored the nearby forest several time. I also taught them to learn speaking English. We even used English to communicate each other. By the end of the holiday, they could have a simply conversation in English. For this, their parents came to thank me. In a brief, in our childhood, we really felt relaxed and enjoyed us.
【答案】1. That →What 2. Beside →Besides 3. played →playing 4. go →went
5. time →times 6. speaking →spoken 7. communicate后加with 8. simply →simple
9. 删除brief前的a 10. us →ourselves
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述的是作者小时候暑假在爷爷奶奶家度过的快乐的童年生活。
【详解】1. 考查主语从句。句意：让我印象深刻的是帮助他们做家务和农活。分析句子可知，此处应为连接词引导的主语从句，连接词在从句中作主语，且指的是事，所以此处应使用连接代词what，位于句首，首字母需大写。故将That改为What。
2. 考查副词。句意：此外，我通常在晚上只花一个小时做作业。结合句意可知，此处应是进一步介绍作者的快乐生活，所以此处应为“此外”应为副词besides，且位于句首，首字母需大写。故将Beside改为Besides。
3. 考查动名词。句意：我大部分时间都和邻居的孩子们一起玩。分析句子可知，此处应为固定短语spend some time (in) doing sth.意为“花时间做某事”，其中的介词in可以省略，所以此处应使用动名词形式playing作宾语。故将played改为playing。
4. 考查动词时态。句意：我们一起去钓鱼，在附近的森林里探险了几次。分析句子可知，此处与谓语动词explored为并列谓语，且本文讲述的是作者小时候的事情，所以该句的谓语动词应使用一般过去时，且go与句子主语为主动关系。故将go改为went。
5. 考查名词。句意：我们一起去钓鱼，在附近的森林里探险了几次。结合句意可知，此处time意为“次数”，且有several修饰，所以time应使用复数形式。故将time改为times。
6. 考查过去分词。句意：我还教他们学习英语口语。分析句子可知，speak与English之间为被动关系，所以此处应使用过去分词作定语修饰English，spoken English意为“英语口语”符合句意。故将speaking改为spoken。
7. 考查介词。句意：我们甚至用英语交流。分析句子可知，communicate为不及物动词，其后需搭配介词再跟宾语，communicate with意为“与……交流”符合句意。故在communicate后加with。
8. 考查形容词。句意：到假期结束时，他们可以用英语进行简单的对话。分析句子可知，conversation为名词，意为“对话”，其前应为形容词作定语。故将simply改为simple。
9. 考查固定短语。句意：简而言之，在我们的童年，我们真的感到放松并且玩的愉快。分析句子可知，此处为固定短语in brief意为“简而言之”符合句意。故删除brief前的a。
10. 考查代词。句意：简而言之，在我们的童年，我们真的感到放松并且玩的开心。分析句子可知，enjoyed的主语和宾语为同一人，所以此处应使用反身代词，“我们自己”应为ourselves， enjoy oneself意为“玩的开心”。故将us改为ourselves。

Northern California holds a special place in the hearts of all hikers who have experienced this special portion of the country. Read on to choose your best potential hike.
Lassen Peak Trail
Don’t let the distance fool you. The 5-mile round-trip Lassen Peak Trail in Lassen Volcanic National Park is hot and rocky, not suitable for people in poor health, especially with weak hearts. Hikers will gain a very great height as they reach the top of Lassen Peak. Though Mount Lassen last erupted in the 20th century, the volcano here is still technically active.
Yosemite Falls Trail
The hike along Yosemite Falls Trail offers amazing views of the falls and the surrounding valley. The falls are nothing short of breathtaking as they rise more than 2,000 feet above the valley floor, making it the highest falls in North e here in the spring months to relax and see them.
Stout Memorial Grove (小树林) Trail
This trail is an absolute favorite among photographers thanks to its simple accessibility and the flat grove of well-lit precious redwoods. It also features bright green plants, fallen trunks and plenty of spots to relax among tall old trees. Although this hike is short, it usually doesn’t get too busy. Arrive early to secure a space as parking is limited.
Founders’ Grove Nature Trail
Located in Humboldt Redwoods State Park in Southern Humboldt County, the trail takes visitors to one of the most beloved valuable coastal redwood groves in California. The famed Avenue of Giants cuts through the grove at the center of an easy half-mile-long loop that’s well-marked and well-maintained, perfect for families and hiking beginners.
1. Which trail is the most physically demanding
A. Lassen Peak Trail. B. Yosemite Falls Trail.

Ian Happ is a professional baseball player for a baseball team in the United States. When he first started playing with the team in 2017, he was looking for pictures to hang in his home. An idea and an unlikely partnership with a British artist came from that simple desire.
Happ wanted to show Wrigley Field, the team’s ballpark, from a different artistic vision. He said that many baseball fans had been to Wrigley Field but had never seen what the ballpark looked like, from the field. He thought looking up from the field was such a cool experience that he intended to bring that to more fans. So, from his point of view, he let the British artist Patrick Vale create three large drawings of Wrigley Field. Instead of having pictures hung in his home, the partnership led to something quite different.
Happ’s views of Wrigley Field became the project, Through My Eyes, in which fans could purchase prints. The money made in this way went toward those people in need. The drawings by Vale became See What I See, an exhibition at a Chicago’s gallery. The show lasted a period of time.
Happ ever brought Vale to Chicago in September of 2018 and showed him around Wrigley Field. Vale knew little about the sport of baseball. But he understood the connection fans had with Wrigley Field. Happ had to explain to Vale the importance of the 400-foot sign in the center field and the famous manual scoreboard. He had to teach him the correct positioning of the players. He also explained what it felt like standing in the field under the bright lights with a loud crowd.
Vale took pictures and used them to help him create drawings in great detail. He was very modest and would send rough drawings to Happ, who would mark them up in red ink, like a teacher, with suggestions. It was in this way that their cooperation was so successful.
4. What did Happ ask Vale to do
A. Join the baseball team.
B. Find a different baseball field.
C. Create three pictures of his home.
D. Draw according to his own perspectives.
5. What is the main purpose of Through My Eyes
A. To hold an exhibition. B. To do charity.
C. To attract baseball fans. D. To promote the printing trade.
6. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about
A What Vale explained to Happ.
B. How Vale corrected Happ’s mistakes.
C. What Happ and Vale felt about the field.
D. How Happ introduced Vale about Wrigley field.
7. Which word can best describe Vale
A. Humble. B. Humorous. C. Casual. D. Conventional.
C
Origami (折纸工艺) is now pushing the limits of what scientists think is possible, particularly at the tiniest of scales.
I know Miskin, an electrical engineer at University of Pennsylvania. He and his students have been using a clean room to make an army of robots no bigger than dust. Such tiny robots require big creativity. That’s where origami comes in. Fold patterns will bend and move the same way at any size, at least theoretically. Created by using the same techniques as the computer chip industry, Miskin’s robots look like pieces of fat with arms and legs. When the robots are exposed to electricity, their arms and legs bend easily, helping them walk through a drop on a glass slide.
Miskin sees a world of possible ways these tiny robots can be used, from industry, tourism, service to other fields. Indeed, the art form, origami, holds particular promise for many fields. For example, Rus, an AI engineer developed a robot that can fold to fit into a pill capsule. After the capsule is swallowed, the robot unfolds and can be directed around the digestive system using programmable magnetic fields. An initial test demonstrated one possible use: removing the swallowed button batteries from the stomach, a potentially deadly condition experienced by thousands of children each year. “Just imagine using it to repair a wound,” Rus says. “We’ll see a future of surgeries with no pain and no risk of infection.”
These types of big dreams are where origami seems to help science flourish most. Origami has provided d new tool to fire the imagination and create technologies once thought impossible, including a boat that folds down to be small enough to fit in a car’s trunk.
On a bright fall afternoon, I took my boat for a spin on Virginia’s Lake Accotink. The plastic suitcase drew curious looks from passers-by as I unfolded it. Perhaps one day, folding forms will be considered prosaic. But for now, origami will continue to spark wonder and excitement as it pushes science, medicine and technology into the future and keeps me afloat as I leave the lakeshore.

For some ant queens, the secret to long life might be a self-produced insulin (胰岛素) blocker. Ant queens are famously long-lived even though they shouldn’t be. Generally, animals that put lots of energy into reproduction sacrifice some time off their life. But ant queens produce millions of eggs and live an extraordinarily long time compared with worker ants that don’t reproduce.
Now, researchers have shown how one ant species pulls off this anti-aging great work. When queens of the species, Harpegnathos saltator (跳跃蚁), are prepared to reproduce, a part of what is called the insulin signaling pathway gets blocked, slowing aging. In a rare behavior for ants, when a queen H. saltator dies, some female workers begin competing in fights for the chance to replace her. These hopeful royals start laying eggs and then change into queen-like forms called gamergates (雌工虫). When a worker changes to a gamergate, her life length becomes five times as long as it was. But if she doesn’t end up becoming a queen and goes back to a worker, her lifetime shortens again.
The researchers researched this behavior in these ants. It turns out that H. saltator gamergates extend their lifetime by taking advantage of a split in the insulin signaling pathway, the chain of chemical reactions that drive insulin’s effects on the body. One branch of this pathway is involved with reproduction, while the other is linked to aging.
Examining patterns of gene activity, expert Yan and his colleagues found that gamergates have more active insulin genes than regular worker ants and, as a result, have increased metabolic (新陈代谢的) activity and physical development. But the secret sauce protecting the ants from the insulin’s aging effects appears to be what is called Imp-L2, which blocks the branch of the insulin pathway linked to aging. The branch involved in reproduction, however, remains active.
These results represent a leap forward in our understanding of extreme social insect lifetime, while also showing an anti-aging evolutionary adaptation that hasn’t been seen in the wild before.

As a little child, I liked to stay at my grandparents’ home during the summer holiday. That impressed me was helping them with their housework and farm work. Beside, I usually did my homework for only an hour in the evening. I spent most of my time played with the kids in the neighborhood. We go fishing together and explored the nearby forest several time. I also taught them to learn speaking English. We even used English to communicate each other. By the end of the holiday, they could have a simply conversation in English. For this, their parents came to thank me. In a brief, in our childhood, we really felt relaxed and enjoyed us.
