For those who want world-class whitewater rafting(漂流)

·Location: Located inside the Nantahala National Forest

·Campground Contact: (828)524-6441

·Park Hours: Open 24 hours

·Campground Website

Standing Indian Campground is one of several campgrounds located inside the Nantahala National Forest. Established in 1920, the Nantahala National Forest got its name from the Cherokee word meaning “Land of the Noonday Sun”. The half-a-million-acre forest is also one of four managed by the United States Forest Service and is settled deep within the mountains.

The National Forest is also home to three appointed Wilderness Areas and two Wild and Scenic Rivers. These famed rivers also offer world-class kayaking, canoeing, whitewater rafting, boating, water-skiing, fishing, and swimming. For hikers, the famous Appalachian Trail runs directly through the forest, so don’t be alarmed if you see a hiker walking on the trail. In addition, like many national forests in North Carolina, camping is free of charge at several spots in Nantahala National Forest. At this campground, you can also camp at a height of 3,880 feet under evergreens near the Nantahala River.

The campground also features several loops (环形) that are perfect for tent camping and large enough for RVs. In addition, Standing Indian is a convenient spot for travellers passing through, yet ideal enough for those who want to stay longer.

Campground Breakdown:

·88 Sites in Total

·Standard Nonelectric Premium Site: $20 per night

22、The city of Marquette in Michigan is closing a section of a road to vehicular traffic every night to protect migrating salamanders (蝾螈). From 8 p. m. to 8 a. m. daily until April 15 or until the migration is completed, a section of Peter White Drive in Presque Isle Park will be closed, the city announced.

“Protecting the blue-spotted salamanders’ migration is vital, as they are an indicator species, informing us about the health of our environment,” said Kathleen Henry, Superior Watershed Partnership (SWP) special projects coordinator (协调员) and education specialist. The salamanders spend the cold winter under-ground. Then every spring, they make their way to the water where they lay eggs.

It was in 2018 that Eli Bieri, a former Northern Michigan University student, noticed vehicles were killing hundreds of these migrating salamanders. “We would see thousands and thousands of salamanders crossing the street in just one night,” Bieri told the Detroit Free Press. “It was really amazing — until we see cars pass by and squish salamanders. That really troubled me — it kept me awake at night.” He enlisted the help of the SWP, who reached out to Marquette city officials. Last spring they got the relevant stretch of road within the park temporary closed to evening and overnight vehicular traffic.

In 2019, before the closure, they found 429 salamander carcasses (尸体) in the road. Last year, they counted only 3 carcasses. With that success demonstrated, city officials are doing the same this year. “The goal is to apply our science to wildlife management,” Bieri said. “To be able to see in-person the science applied to successful management practices was very satisfying.”

【1】What’s the significance of protecting the salamanders?

A．Salamanders can offer great financial benefits to the governments.

B．Protecting salamanders can greatly reduce traffic accidents at night.

C．Salamanders are a great sign for our environment’s conditions.

D．Salamanders are main food for other living creatures near the sea.

D．Ignore.

【3】Which word can be used to describe the effect of protecting measure?

A．Successful.

B．Concerning.

C．Insufficient.

D．Ridiculous.

【4】What is a suitable title for the text?

A．What Salamanders Mean to Us

B．A Proper Way to Protect Our Earth

C．Ways to Protect Salamanders

D．A 12-Hour Closure for Wildlife

23、In Florida’s Everglades, few species are more closely tied to the habitat’s health than an endangered bird, the snail kite. The Everglade snail kite is a raptor (猛禽), similar to a hawk, that eats just one thing: snails, a species that relies almost entirely on a resource usually abundant in the freshwater marshes (沼泽).

Over the last century, as much of the Everglades dried up, droughts contributed to the snail kite’s decline, and by 2007, there were fewer than 800 remaining. But the kite has bounced back recently thanks to an exotic (外来的) snail. It’s a rare case of an invasive species having a positive impact.

Robert Fletcher, a University of Florida professor who directs a snail kite monitoring program, said the invasive species was first spotted in 2004. Within a few years, it had expanded through much of the Everglades. “And it was around that time,” he said, “that we started to see snail kite number increase.”

No one’s sure about how the exotic snails were introduced into the Everglades. They’re related to Florida’s apple snails and are commonly used in home aquariums. The invader, the island apple snail, is larger than its Florida cousin. It lays eggs in the thousands in pink clusters visible on the stalks of many of the marsh plants.

Efforts to restore Florida’s Everglades have helped the snail kite and restored native vegetation. It’s been in the works for more than 30 years with a cost of more than $20 billion. But progress is increasing gradually, albeit hard to measure. In the meantime, scientists say the invasive snail may have helped pull Florida’s endangered snail kite back from the threat of extinction.

But Fletcher is concerned about the potential impact the species will have on the Everglades over the long term. He said, “What we should be thinking about is how we restore native snails to get those benefits rather than relying on this non-native species that can have damaging impacts on the ecosystem.” The invasive snails may already have caused losses to some native marsh plants, which indicates that trouble may come very soon.

【1】What does the underlined phrase “bounced back” in paragraph 2 probably mean?

A．Jumped.

B．Moved.

C．Recovered.

D．Returned.

【2】What is a major cause of the snail kite’s decline?

A．The loss of habitat.

B．The lack of food due to droughts.

C．The increasing number of hawks.

D．The introduction of an invasive species.

【3】What do we know about the invasive snails?

A．Their eggs are hard to spot.

B．Aquariums are an ideal habitat for them.

C．They are smaller than native apple snails.

D．They quickly increased in population around the Everglades.

【4】What conclusion can be drawn from the last two paragraphs?

A．Restoring the native ecosystem is costly and time-consuming.

B．The invasive snails pose little threat to the local ecosystem.

C．The benefits of the invasive snails outweigh the harms.

D．Human efforts apparently have proven to be effective.

24、Everyone has done experiments in high school laboratories，but have you ever thought about designing a satellite to explore space？

On Nov．19，a team of students from Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology in the US awed peers and even scientists by successfully launching a satellite．

The first satellite designed and built by high school students was sent up into space along with a record   setting．28 other small ones on a rocket were sent from a NASA center in Virginia，CNN reported． It took the students seven years to build．

The students call their tiny satellite TJ3Sat，which is named after their school．It is just 10x10x12 centimeters and weighs only 0．89 kilograms，according to Orbital Sciences，a company which developed the rocket and supported the students’ project．It can be controlled with a smartphone．

Like most satellites，TJ3Sat can send and receive datA． The small spacecraft is equipped with a voice synthesizer (合成器)，which can switch text to voice and transmit those sounds back to Earth over radio waves，said Orbital officials．In this case，anyone can give it a try via the project’s website (school website) by submitting (提交) a text．The texts that get approved will be sent to the satellite，changed to voice and then broadcast back to Earth via radio waves．

“I can say ‘Go Colonials’on our ground station and when it is on the other side of the world，in India，someone can hear‘Go Colonials’over the radio，”the team explains on the website．

The satellite will stay in space for at least three months．

School principal Evan Glazer told The Washington Post that the project started in 2006 as an activity in the spare time．Later it became a research project for a select group of seniors．

At a time when American students are busy with SATs，the launch of the satellite shows what diligent teenagers can achieve when allowed to pursue their own curiosities，Glazer said．

“It used to be that kids growing up wanted to be an astronaut,” Andrew Petro，program executive (主管) for small spacecraft technology at NASA，said in a statement．“I think we might be seeing kids saying what they want to do is build a spacecraft．The idea here is that they really can do that．”

【1】The underlined word “awed” in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to _____．

A． influenced

B． amazed

C． delighted

D． inspired

【2】Which of the following statements about TJ3Sat is TRUE according to the article？

A． It took a group of students about a decade to build the satellite．

B． Besides TJ3Sat，28 other small satellites were built by the students．

C． TJ3Sat can receive text messages that the students send into space，which can be changed to voice messages and broadcast back to Earth．

D． TJ3Sat is expected to stay in orbit for the next year，sending out messages  together with information about its position in space．

【3】According to the article，the launch of the satellite _______．

A． is evidence of the advance of spacecraft technology

B． proves that hard   working teenagers can achieve a lot

C． shows the importance of extracurricular activities at school

D． has inspired many people to take an interest in space travel

Sean was a single father of three kids who had just lost their mother to cancer. Shortly afterwards, he had to sell his house to pay the medical bills. Worse still, he had to quit his job as a regional manager due to too many absences he acquired in taking care of his wife while she was sick. Their lives sank into extreme poverty. He had to do part-time work to pay off his debts. He never imagined what his life would become. Everything felt hopeless. Anyway, he continued with his life, earning barely enough money to feed his kids.

Today was a bit different.He went to the nearest gas station after work.He had an extra $2 with which he could buy himself a cheap hot dog. It was a little treat he would give himself. As he walked toward the gas station, he saw a man panicking, saying something to a woman in the car. Not knowing why they were so worried,he continued walking until the man called out to him.

“Sir, I’m so sorry to ask, but my wife is in labor(临产), and we’re out of gas. I left my wallet and phone at home as we were rushing out of the house. Is there any way you can help me?” the man said. His desperate eyes pulled at Sean’s heartstrings.

“Well, sir. I only have 2 dollars, but you can have it!” Sean said, reaching into his pocket and producing the 2 dollars. “Thank you! That works. I have a few coins in the car, but I can get a gallon and reach the hospital with that.” The man took the bills gratefully.

“I’m Matthew. Please give me your contact information so I can pay you back.” “No need. I only hope you and your wife get to the hospital safely,” Sean smiled. But Matthew insisted. Finally, Sean gave him his number.
