Explore these lesser-known U. S. by ways for maximum autumn splendor—from Wisconsin to West Virginia.
Wisconsin’s Lake Superior Scenic Byway
Wisconsin’s 70-mile Lake Superior Scenic Byway traces the coastline of the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore. About a third of the way through the route, you’ll arrive at Frog Bay National Tribal Park, the nation’s first tribal national park. Here, visitors can hike along several short trails. The autumn colors of all kinds of leaves peak in mid-to-late October.
West Virginia’s Seneca Skyway
Seneca Rocks, a stunning formation with dozens of surrounding hiking trails, was once used by the U. S. Army for wilderness assault training. Stay in the wild without a tent by overnighting at the top of a 65-foot-tall fire tower in Seneca State Forest.
Arizona’s White Mountain Scenic Road
Arizona is one of the best places in the Southwest for changing leaves—if you know where to look. Start at 7, 000 feet in the town of Pinetop-Lakeside, where giant maples offer pops of color between the world’s largest contiguous stretch of ponderosa pines.
South Carolina’s Cherokee Foothills National Scenic Byway
The leaves of red maples, box elders, and scarlet and black oaks turn late in northern South Carolina—usually from mid-October to early November. That’s the perfect time to take a spin along the 110-mile Cherokee Foothills National Scenic Byway. It takes visitors through six state parks, offering several overlooks for epic views.
21．What can people do at the Wisconsin’s Lake Superior Scenic Byway
A．Hike along the Seneca Rocks. B．Take a spin.
C．Visit a tribal national park. D．Stay in the wild without a tent.
22．If a person is interested in observing different leaves, at which scenic spot will he / she feel disappointed
A．Wisconsin’s Lake Superior Scenic Byway
B．West Virginia’s Seneca Skyway
C．Arizona’s White Mountain Scenic Road
D．South Carolina’s Cherokee Foothills National Scenic Byway.
23．Where can the text be found
A．A guidebook. B．A movie poster. C．A sports magazine. D．A science report.

Laura Sharkey breeds mixed-breed dogs, but they’re not Goldendoodles, Chiweenies, Pomskys, or any other designer crosses. She doesn’t even aim for a specific build, size, or coat. “I’m not concerned with what they look like,” she says of her puppies. “I don’t want any genetic pressure other than health and state of mind.”
Sharkey and Eric a Pytlovany, both dog trainers, founded BosunDogs in 2019 after witnessing clients continually face severe behavioral challenges in adopted dogs. They regularly see owners face rehoming or even euthanizing (使安乐死) their pets due to health issues. “I would really love for all families who want a nice dog to be able to get a nice dog—and we don’t have that right now,” says Sharkey, who also owns WOOFS! dog-training centers in Arlington, Virginia. “I decided that the best way I could do that was to breed them.”
Sharkey is part of the growing functional-breeding movement, which raises dogs in small-scale settings to be friendly and healthy pets, with less focus on purebred (纯血统的) status. “I want to breed dogs for what I think is the actual highest function a dog has, especially in this country, which is as a companion animal,” says Sharkey.
In particular, Sharkey hopes to offer an alternative to purebred puppies, around a third of which are bred in high-volume kennels (犬舍). And while some of these facilities are regulated by the USDA and meet standards such as Purdue University’s Canine Care Certified, many don’t pay as much attention to selecting healthy breeding dogs and providing adequate puppy enrichment as small-scale breeders do, says Sara Reusche, owner of Paws Abilities Dog Training in Rochester, Minnesota.
Some concerned with the health and welfare of purebred puppies choose to adopt shelter animals as an alternative. But this route may not be feasible for everyone—especially in high-demand areas, such as the Northeast, mid-Atlantic, and West Coast. Twenty years ago, many U. S. shelters euthanized dogs to provide space for new intakes, explains Reusche.
24．Why does Laura Sharkey breed mixed-breed dogs
A．She likes the dog’s appearance. B．Mixed-breed dogs are easy to raise.
C．She aims for a specific build and size. D．She cares more about dog’s health and inner nature.
25．What’s the purpose of the functional-breeding movement
A．To breed healthy dogs to accompany people. B．To raises dogs in small-scale settings.
C．To adopt shelter animals as a pet. D．To sell dogs to make money.
26．What’s the author’s opinion on the condition of dogs in high-volume kennels
A．They are not so healthy. B．They get balanced nutrition.
C．They are all very tender and mild. D．They don’t meet certain standards.
27．What does the underlined word “feasible” mean in Paragraph 5
A．popular B．acceptable C．dissatisfied D．inconsistent
C
Rx4 Rhythm is one of the programs offered at the Johns Hopkins Centre for Music and Medicine in Baltimore. The program is the brainchild of Dr Alexander Pantelyat, a violin player. He is also a neurologist (神经科医生) who specializes in movement disorders like Parkinson’s. Applying music therapy (疗法) to movement disorders is relatively new; previously, it was mainly used in cancer treatment. He explains, “Just listening to music activates many regions of the brain at the same time.” Now, a growing body of scientific evidence shows that music can be medicine, too.
One study from the Centre for Music and Medicine followed a choir composed of Parkinson’s patients to learn how singing might impact the speaking voice of those patients. After 12 weeks, the singers’ speaking volumes which often fade as Parkinson’s progresses grew demonstrably stronger. The Rx4 Rhythm drumming circle, meanwhile, came out of a 2015 study that showed that Parkinson’s patients had improved their ability to walk after six weeks of drumming practice.
In a review of 400 research papers looking into the neurochemistry of music, Daniel Levitin, a neuroscientist at McGill University, found that playing and listening to music had clear mental and physical health benefits, including improving our immune systems and reducing stress levels. It can also reduce the pain patients are suffering.
Studies show that music can trigger memories and touch parts of the brain that other mediums cannot. Sometimes music can work like miracle. One day, the nursing team at Toronto’s Princess Margaret Cancer Centre asked Sarah, a music therapist, if she could reach out to a patient who was unwilling to engage with staff or be part of any activities. As she started to play one piece of his favorite music on her keyboard, a change came over him. He unfolded his arms, turned towards Black and started to cry. He said through tears. “It was as if the music went places that nothing else could recalls.” He shared afterwards that the music showed up at a moment when it felt like a hug.
28．What is the purpose of the program
A．To treat cancer using music therapy. B．To help patients to appreciate music.
C．To treat Parkinson by activating the brain. D．To treat movement disorders with the help of music.
29．How has the program affected Parkinson’s patients
A．They walk faster. B．They speak louder.
C．They grow stronger. D．Their memories fade.
30．What do the underlined words “trigger” mean in paragraph 4
A．bring back B．refresh C．lose D．put back
31．What can be learned about the program from the last paragraphs
A．It can help patients to recall places. B．It can help patients to comfort others.
C．It can help patients to interact with others. D．It can help patients to improve their ability to walk.
D
Would you make the same decisions in a foreign language as you would in your native tongue It may be intuitive that people would make the same choices regardless of the language they are using, or that the difficulty of using a foreign language would make decisions less systematic. We discovered, however, that the opposite is true: Using a foreign language reduces decision-making biases (偏差).
Together with his students and collaborators, Professor Keysar has made discoveries about the impact of using a foreign language on choice, the way that language modality affects reasoning, how language affects health decisions and negotiations, and more. In a 2021 study, Boaz Keysar, a professor at the University of Chicago in the US, led an experiment concerning how foreign languages re late to human ways of thinking.
Whereas people were risk averse for gains and risk seeking for losses when choices were presented in their native tongue, they were not influenced by this framing manipulation in a foreign language. People were asked to make a choice: Take a guarantee of one pound or take a 50 percent chance of winning 2.50 pounds. When presented with this choice in their native language, most people took the safe option of only getting one pound. But they were more willing to make the riskier choice when asked in a foreign language, leading to more profits overall, according to The Guardian. As Keysar put it, “People just hate the prospect (前景) of losing, but they hate it less in a foreign language.”
Keysar and his team did another experiment in which participants were given a series of related words like “dream”, “snooze”, “bed” and “rest”. Later, when asked which words they remembered hearing, people were more likely to mistakenly remember “sleep”, which was not on the list, in their native language. But it was much less likely to happen if they did the test in a foreign language.
The evidence is clear: By learning a foreign language, you’re not just learning a language—you’re gaining a new state of mind.
32．What aspect of the Boaz Keysar’s research in 2021 focus on
A．The impact of using a foreign language on choice.
B．The way that language modality affects reasoning.
C．How language affects health decisions and negotiations.
D．The relationship between foreign languages and people’s way of thinking.
33．What does the underlined word “averse” in Paragraph 3 refer to
A．willing B．slow C．opposed D．eager
34．Why did Keysar and his team did the second experiment
A．To change people’s attitude to the game.
B．To prove a foreign language influences the way of thinking.
C．To show the choice is more correct when using a foreign language.
D．To prove using a foreign language leads to memories with greater accuracy.
35．Which of the following shows the development of ideas in the passage
A． B． C． D．
I: Introduction P: Point C: Conclusion

Does using an eco-friendly paper straw (吸管) give you a good feeling because you’re doing something for the environment It is said that straws made from plant-based materials, such as paper and bamboo, are often advertised as being more sustainable and eco-friendly than those made from plastic. 36
PFAS chemicals, infamous for their longevity and potential harm, can adversely affect humans, wildlife and the environment. 37 They are also linked to various health issues, including liver damage, kidney cancer and so on.
For a more in-depth analysis, a research team conducted a test. 38 They were made from five materials—paper, bamboo, glass, stainless steel and plastic, and then the researchers conducted two rounds of testing for PFAS. They found that most brands (69%)contained PFAS, with 18 different PFAS detected in total. In paper straws, PFAS was detected in 90% of the brands tested. PFAS was also detected in 80% of the brands of bamboo straws, 75% of the plastic straw brands and 40% of the glass straw brands. 39
On the whole, the PFAS concentrations (浓度) are low and, considering that most people only use straws occasionally, cause a limited risk to human health. 40 So the researchers advise consumers to use the stainless steel straws —or just avoid using straws when drinking.
A．They purchased 39 different brands of drinking straws.
B．PFAS was not detected in any of the five types of steel straws.
C．So many people choose to use straws made from plant-based materials.
D．However, the presence of PFAS in these straws means that could be discredited.
E．However, PFAS can remain in the body for many years and concentrations can build up over time.
F．The presence of PFAS in paper and bamboo straws shows they are not necessarily biodegradable.
G．They biodegrade (生物降解) very slowly over time and can persist over thousands of years in the environment.

Reviving the Old Book
Song Jing, a 34-year-old “book doctor”, has been working in the restoration division for ancient books at the National Library of China in Beijing for eight years. Song made her way to the ancient books division after graduating 56 Beijing University in 2015.
At the moment, Song and her colleagues are working on restoring a copy of Yongle Dadian, an encyclopedia 57 (create) in the Ming Dynasty (1368—1644). After receiving the challenge, it took Song and her colleagues six months 58 (research) and decide on 59 to restore the books. To restore them to their original form, they need to gather information from 60 (variety) sources, such as images and texts, before they can make sure their original binding (装订) style and repair them accordingly.
In the past, restorers had to rely on their experience to determine the appropriate materials to use. As technology 61 (develop), they are able to use a new method to finish the task through microscopes. However, ancient-book restoration still requires essential manual 62 (skill), including cutting and brushing paper and binding. Apart from this, the restoration process requires strong control. If the pressure is not properly controlled during the brushing process, the paper will tear; 63 if the touch is too light, the paper won’t adhere.
“ 64 (hopeful), I can be of some help in inspiring more young people to find their lifelong passion in 65 field of cultural heritage preservation,” said Song.

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。
The Beautiful Game
I have a favorite footballer. His name is Chris Bush and he is a defender for the National League team Boreham Wood in Hertfordshire. He’s 31, and he plays in the number 5 shirt, and… well, I can’t tell you that much more about him, really, because, in general, I struggle to focus when it comes to football.
My disinterest in “The Beautiful Game” has been lifelong. At primary school, my classmates spent lunch break playing football, while I was in the library getting kicks from books and computers. In Games lessons, like all fat kids, I was put “in defence” which involved chatting to my friends and occasionally pretending to be bothered about where the ball was. I pretended to be expert in the game, cheering when a goal was scored, although I didn’t understand the rules.
As I got older, I stopped trying to fake it. In fact, I wore my aversion to football as a badge of honor, a fundamental part of my identity. I didn’t understand why so many people loved this sport. “It’s only a game!” I’d tell Dad, as he excitedly urged me to watch the game. When a big game was on, I’d go shopping instead of watching the game like most of the people around me. But, occasionally when meeting a friend’s father, I’d meet questions like “Who do you support ” And I would feel my heart sink, having no idea how to answer that.
This attitude of mine had stopped me from hours of conversation, and even entire friendships with people that I might otherwise have enjoyed. I couldn’t change the fact that I found football boring, but was coming to regret that I was an outsider. I never had the chance to go and watch a game and sometimes I would wonder what it would be like to watch a game and feel the atmosphere of the fans.

第二节 参考范文
And then I became a dad, and I didn’t want my two boys to be outsiders like their father. So, 1 bought them tickets to watch our local team. We sat close to the action. The friendly atmosphere at the stadium immediately amazed me. We watched the game several times—in sunlight, in rain, under floodlights, in the cold. Every time we went, we felt a stronger connection with the team’s supporter community. Almost without noticing, my shouts of support when the team we supported scored a goal were actually real, and my sighs were also so true when they missed a kick.
Not only did we enjoy watching the game, we played it too. I brought a football to the playground and I even got them a mini football table so that we can play it at home. Although I knew little about the game, I became the coach. We learned the rules of the game together, played passes and too shots. After a while, we started to get the hang of it. Looking back on my life, I was never a fan of football or any sports, but I was so grateful that I would be so connected to my children by this beautiful game.

Welcome, everyone. For the past month, I’ve been planning your English language course. So, I’m very eager to start your class this afternoon. (17) All week, we’ll be following a language program developed by some of the world’s best teachers. I’ve benefited from learning this approach directly from these language teachers, and I’ve taught students in business, political, and academic groups for decades. (18) With your dedicated attention and practice, you will greatly improve your language skills like the thousands of students who have learned this course.
Now, the initial concepts are about goals, interests, and debates. While we first write down our objectives, we’ll focus on what we want to gain from this class and how we’ll achieve it. (19) Next, we’ll make interest-based lesson plans. Think about how easily you learn about favorite topics. For me, this topic is sports. (20) but maybe for you, this favorite topic is art, music, etc. Just imagine the hours that pass by while you’re learning something you’re passionate about. Now, we’ll try that in your target foreign language. And after following a video and reading plans based on these interests, you’ll debate these ideas in class.
This will be a great class, everyone. I can’t wait for all the learning and progress we’ll have together.

21．C 细节理解题。题目问的是在威斯康辛州的苏必利尔湖风景小道，人们可以做什么 根据第二段“About a third of the way through the route, you’ll arrive at Frog Bay National Tribal Park, the nation’s first tribal national park.（大约走了三分之一的路程，你会到达青蛙湾国家部落公园，这是美国第一个部落国家公园。）”所以人们可以去一个部落国家公园。
22．B 细节理解题，题目问的是如果一个人喜欢观察落叶，他去哪个景点会感到很失望 Wisconsin’s Lake Superior Scenic Byway 中提到了“The autumn colors of all kinds of leaves”, Arizona’s White Mountain Scenic Road 中提到了“changing leaves”, South Carolina’ s Cherokee Foothills National Scenic Byway 中提到了“The leaves of red maples, box elders, and scarlet and black oaks”，只有West Virginia’s Seneca Skyway没有提到秋天树叶的变化。
23．A 推理判断题。题目问的是本篇文章是在哪里选取的。根据整篇文章介绍的内容，都是不同的赏秋地点。
B篇
本文介绍了Laura Sharkey参与功能性育种运动，该运动在小规模环境中饲养狗，使其成为友好、健康的宠物，而不太注重纯正血统。Sharkey认为狗的主要功能是陪伴。
24．D 细节理解题。题目要求是为什么Laura Sharkey想培育混种狗。根据第一段中“I don’t want any genetic pressure other than health and state of mind.”可知Laura Sharkey想培养混种狗是想要友好、健康的狗。
25．A 推理判断题。题目问的是功能性育种运动的目的是什么 根据文章第三段“I want to breed dogs for what I think is the actual highest function a dog has, especially in this country, which is as a companion animal”可知，目的是让狗成为陪伴型动物。
26．A 推理判断题。题目要求判断作者对于目前大型犬舍的狗的态度，根据第四段“…many don’t pay as much attention to selecting healthy breeding dogs and providing adequate puppy enrichment as small-scale breeders do…”可知，虽然其中一些设施受美国农业部监管，并符合标准，但许多设施并不像小规模繁殖者那样重视挑选健康的种犬和为幼犬提供充足的营养。
27．B 猜测词义。根据第五段“Some concerned with the health and welfare of purebred puppies choose to adopt shelter animals as an alternative. But this route may not be feasible for everyone—especially in high-demand areas, such as the Northeast, mid-Atlantic, and West Coast.”
（一些关心纯种小狗的健康和福利的人选择收养收容所的动物作为替代。但这条路可能并不适用于所有人，尤其是在高需求地区，如东北部、大西洋中部和西海岸），可知，这种方式在一些地区是不适用的。
C篇
本文选自一份综合性文摘类杂志，是一篇说明文，主要介绍了将音乐应用于帕金森等运动障碍类疾病的治疗项目，演奏和聆听音乐对身心健康有明显的益处，包括改善我们的免疫系统和降低压力水平。它还可以减轻病人的痛苦，有效地帮助病人与他人交流。
28．D 推理判断题，考查该项目的研究目的，根据第一段“specializes in movement disorders like Parkinson’s”和“Applying music therapy to movement disorders is relatively new”可知该项目的目的是用音乐疗法来治疗帕金森等运动障碍类疾病。
29．B 推理判断题。根据第二段“the singers” speaking volumes which often fade as Parkinson’s progresses grew demonstrably stronger”及“Parkinson’s patients had improved their ability to walk after six weeks of drumming practice”可知，随着帕金森病的发展，患者说话音量往往会减弱，而经过音乐疗法他们的音量却明显增强了，帕金森病人在练习击鼓六周后，行走能力也得到改善。
30．A 猜测词义题。第四段提到“Studies show that music can trigger memories and touch parts of the brain that other mediums cannot"，后文也提到“It was as if the music went places that nothing else could recalls”，可猜测trigger memories在此处的含义为唤醒记忆。
31．C 推理判断题，根据最后一段病人从刚开始“unwilling to engage with staff or be part of any activities”到后来“unfolded his arms, turned towards Black and started to cry”的变化，可知音乐疗法有效地帮助病人与他人交流。后面的语言表述“the music went places that nothing else could recalls”（音乐所到之处，无人能及）及“the music showed up at a moment when it felt like a hug”（音乐出现的那一刻，就像一个拥抱）则进一步印证了这一点。
D篇
本文选自一份社科研究杂志，研究表明使用外语会减少决策偏差。在用母语进行选择时，人们会对收益进行风险规避，而对损失进行风险寻求，但在外语中，他们不会受到这种框架操作的影响。而且，人们在使用外语时思维更缜密，记忆更准确。
32．D 细节理解题，题目要求找出2021年的研究侧重点，根据第二段“In a 2021 study, Boaz Keysar, a professor at the University of Chicago in the US, led an experiment concerning how foreign languages re late to human ways of thinking.”可知Boaz Keysar就外语与人们思维方式之间的关系主持了一项实验。
33．C 猜测词义题。本词所在的原句为“Whereas people were risk averse for gains and risk seeking for losses when choices were presented in their native tongue, they were not influenced by this framing manipulation in a foreign language.（在用母语进行选择时，人们会对收益进行风险规避，而对损失进行风险寻求，但在外语中，他们不会受到这种框架操作的影响。）”本句为对实验结果的总体概述，句式较为复杂，较难理解，但是后文中给出了具体的实验分析，可以根据简单的实验分析来猜测词义。“When presented with this choice in their native language, most people took the safe option of only getting one pound”在用母语进行选择时，大多数人都选择了只中一英镑的安全选项。
34．D 推理判断题。第四段提到第二个实验，即给参与者提供了一系列相关的单词，如“dream (梦)”、“snooze(打盹)”、“bed(床)”和“rest(休息)”。后来，当被问及他们记得听到过哪些单词时，人们更容易错误地记住“睡觉”，而这个单词并不在他们的母语列表中。但如果用外语进行测试，发生这种情况的可能性就小得多。可知本次实验的目的是证明使用外语可以让人记忆更准确。
35．A 文章结构分析题，要求根据每段内容分析文本结构，文章前两段为总体描述，三四段为实验例证，最后一段为总结，故而是典型的总分总结构。
七选五
本文的主题语境是人与自然，本文是一篇说明文。文章指出由植物原料制作的吸管看似环保，其实吸管中的PFAS超标，长期使用对人体有害。
36．D 承上启下。上文提到植物吸管虽然被宣传为具有环保、可持续性的特征，但是其中PFAS的存在使得这一优点不可信。第二段开头紧接着讲到PFAS的害处，D项在语义上与下文一致。
37．G 第二段首句是主题句，讲到PFAS的坏处。接下来分两条陈述具体的害处是什么。设空处是其一，后面其二，两者是递进关系。
38．A 前文讲到科研人员做了一个测试，他们买了39种不同品牌的吸管，选项内容和后文的吸管的材质表述吻合。
39．B 根据上文研究人员对五种材料的吸管进行PFAS含量测试的结果，只有钢质的吸管的研究结果还没有提及，故选B项。
40．E 设空处和后句是因果关系。正是因为PFAS在人体中会慢慢聚积起来从而对人体造成伤害，所以科研人员建议消费者们使用钢质吸管或不使用吸管。

完形填空
本文为一篇夹叙夹议的文章，讲述了一位科学家把自己的成功归结于童年的一次经历。当他还小的时候，一次从冰箱里拿牛奶，由于瓶子太滑而脱手，牛奶洒了一地。妈妈不仅没有责备他，而且让他玩了一会儿地上的牛奶，然后引导他找到了正确的拿牛奶的方式。由此作者得出这样的结论：错误是我们学习新知识的机会，这正是科学实验的实质。
B 科学家取得了重大突破，人们想知道和普通人相比为什么他能够有如此大的创造力。

49．D 现在是时候把一切恢复如初了。restore vt. 恢复，修复
50．A 孩子只有三岁大，母子两人共同清理被洒的牛奶合乎情理。
51．D 妈妈鼓励他到后院用一个装满水的瓶子做实验，看能否找到一个有效的方法成功地拿起瓶子而不脱手。
52．C 同上。
53．A 孩子成功了，多么美妙的一课啊。
54．B 这正是科学实验的本质：从错误中学习新的的东西。
55．C 如果所有的父母都能像文章中的妈妈那样，在孩子闯祸的时候做出那样的反应，事情该是多么美好啊。

参考范文：
And then I became a dad, and I didn’t want my two boys to be outsiders like their father. So. I bought them tickets to watch our local team. We sat close to the action. The friendly atmosphere at the stadium immediately amazed me. We watched the game several times—in sunlight, in rain, under floodlights, in the cold. Every time we went, we felt a stronger connection with the team’s supporter community. Almost without noticing, my shouts of support when the team we supported scored a goal were actually real, and my sighs were also so true when they missed a kick.
Not only did we enjoy watching the game, we played it too. I brought a football to the playground and I even got them a mini football table so that we could play it at home. Although I knew little about the game, I became the coach. We learned the rules of the game together, played passes and too shots. After a while, we started to get the hang of it. Looking back on my life, I was never a fan of football or any sports, but I was so grateful that I would be so connected to my children by this beautiful game.
文章讲述了一个对运动十分不感兴趣的人在有了孩子之后态度和行为的转变。小学时，同学们利用午休时间踢足球，而“我”则在图书馆看书、玩电脑。“我”装作对比赛很感兴趣，进球时欢呼雀跃。
随着年龄的增长，“我”不再刻意伪装，而是把对足球的厌恶当作一种荣誉勋章。“我”不明白为什么那么多人喜欢这项运动。“我”的这种态度让“我”无法与人建立起原本可能很愉快的友谊。“我”开始后悔自己是个局外人。
两个续写段落，根据提示的句子，第1段需要说明在成为了父亲之后“我”不希望自己的孩子们也重蹈覆辙。所以在续写时要写出“我”采用了什么样的方法让孩子开始了解足球。而根据第2段段首句可知，续写第一段还需要写出“我”带孩子们看足球比赛的过程。第2段则需要写出“我”开始和孩子们一起踢球，一起了解足球的规则，和孩子一起成长的过程。“我”在这个过程中感受到“the beautiful game”的魅力。
