21、Four Truly Unique Canadian Camping Experiences
Mount Robson Provincial Park, British Columbia
Named after the highest mountain in the Canadian Rockies, this park gives you breathtaking (惊险的) views of mountain landscapes (风景) along with lakes, waterfalls, canyons and caves. The Berg Lake campground lies right at the northern base of the 3,954-meter peak (山巅), which is about a day’s hike in.
Fundy National Park, New Brunswick
If you’ve got tired of the tent, this park is one of the few national parks offering yurt rentals (蒙古包租赁). Make sure you visit the Bay of Fundy where the world’s highest tides make for some great surfing. You also can’t miss the amazing Acadian forest waterfalls. If you’re looking for even more entertainment, the park also hosts music and cultural festivals each summer and has its own golf course.
Kluane National Park and Reserve, Yukon
From May to September, the Kathleen Lake campground sees visitors come from far and wide to camp, hike and fish.

22、If someone has helped you at work, on a project, or with a problem, let them know you appreciate the assistance. 【1】Here are a few tips for writing a thoughtful thank you note.
Write a rough draft.
If you decide to send a handwritten note or card, write a rough draft on a piece of paper.【2】In fact, it’s a good idea to write a rough draft even if you’re typing your thank you note in an e-mail or text. A draft helps you get your thoughts and feelings down on paper before polishing and perfecting them.
【3】
In a thank you note, as in many kinds of writing, it’s a good idea to get right to your point ! Begin your letter with a sentence that states that you are thankful and what you are thankful for. You may start with “Thank you so much for...” and “I am grateful for...”
Be specific.
After you’ve explained what you are grateful for, use details and specific examples to explain why you feel this way. The details here will depend on your unique experience, but the most important part is sharing how the person’s behavior or thoughtfulness made you feel. It’s okay to be brief!【4】
Say thank you again.
【5】You might say “Thank you, again, for your kindness” “I am very grateful to you” or any other expression of thanks that feels most true. Sign off with words such as “Warm Wishes” and “With Gratitude”.

D.Close your letter with one final expression of thanks to the reader.
E.In this way, your thank you note won’t have any cross-out on it.

G.A short note can still be specific and sincere.
23、Average humans can consume 15 or more drinks in plastic bottles a month. If you were born after 1998, and live until 80 years old, you will leave behind a minimum of 14, 4000 plastic bottles on this planet. These bottles take hundreds of years to break down into tiny pieces of plastic, never to completely disappear. Most of the waste is consumed by fish and birds, which has shortened their lifespans greatly.
The Plastic Bottle Village is just a great idea that might finally save us from being buried in plastic. It5s a community in Panama that is going to be made of used bottles. The design process begins with building steel frames, which are then filled with these bottles. Once this step is complete, and electrical and plumping lines are put inside, the plastic walls are covered with concrete (混凝土)—both inside and outside. So no one will actually be able to tell that the walls are made of plastic. Besides, the material will keep the house 17℃ cooler than the outside, which is the biggest benefit to people living inside.
The village is the idea of Robert Bezeau with the intention of setting up several environmental projects. Having started a recycling program four years ago, during which a number of plastic bottles were collected, he started to think of how they could be put to use. Soon enough, he decided to use them to build houses, and came up with a basic idea for the construction process.
The project hopes to make people conscious of the waste that these bottles create so that they can do more to protect the environment. The village will also create an education center that will teach individuals from the world how to reuse plastic bottles as construction materials for shelter. Recycled bottles could neutralize (使……无效) the negative effect of your passage on this planet, and move closer to leaving only your “footprints”.
【1】What do the figures in the first paragraph show?
A.The reason for buying fewer drinks.
B.The seriousness of plastic pollution.
C.The amount of plastic waste.
D.The difficult situation of wildlife.
【2】Why are the homes in the village special?
A.They’re green buildings.
B.They’re 17℃ warmer inside.
C.They stop plastic pollution.
D.They’re entirely made of plastic bottles.
【3】What can we know from the passage?
A.Plastic bottles are difficult to break down so that they are liked by fish and birds.
B.Robert Bezeau is leader of a community in, Panama responsible for the project.
C.The project of the Plastic Bottle Village can raise peopled environmental awareness.
D.Individuals can learn how to produce plastic bottles without polluting the environment.
【4】What would be the best title for the passage?
A.An Eco-Friendly Plastic Bottle Village
B.The Negative Effects of Plastic Bottles
C.How to Collect Deserted Plastic Bottles
D.How to Popularize the Use of Plastic Bottles
24、Imagine taking a voyage to the deepest part of the ocean. What types of thing would you expect to see? Would you see familiar animals and plants or find strange and new ones?
Scientists keep looking for new species and new facts. 【1】 .
Diving deep in the ocean
The deep ocean, 1,000 meters below the surface, is freezing cold.
What’s worse, the water pressure can harm you if you don’t have protective devices on. Therefore, deep divers wear special diving suits to protect themselves from the water pressure. 【2】, some of which have robot arms that can collect samples of water, soil, and small animals underwater.
Using satellites for tracking
Satellites up in space can help to track sea animals travels in the ocean. Scientists attach some animals with electronic sensors to study them. Then, a satellite can track the signal from the sensor attached on the animal’s fin or back.【3】. Besides, scientists can use this signal to predict the animal’s future movements.
【4】
What types of animals are in the ocean? How many are there? Oceanographers studied and counted animals for ten years to discover the answers.

26、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。
A thin young boy loved football with all his heart. Practice after practice, he eagerly gave everything he had. But being half the size of the other boys, he got absolutely nowhere. At all the games, this hopeful athlete sat on the bench and hardly ever played. This teenager lived alone with his father, and the two of them had a very special relationship. Even though his son was always on the bench, the father was always in the stands cheering.
He never missed a game. This young boy was still the smallest of the class when he entered high school. His father continued to encourage him but made it very clear that he did not have to play football if he didn’t want to. But the young boy loved football and decided to hang in there. He was determined to try his best at every practice, and perhaps he would play when he became a senior.
When the young boy went to college, he decided to try out for the football team. Everyone was sure he could never make the cut, but he did. The coach admitted that he kept him in the team because he always put his heart and soul into every practice, and at the same time, provided the other team members with the spirit they badly needed. The news thrilled him so much that he rushed to the nearest phone and called his father. His father shared his excitement. This persistent young athlete never missed practice during his four years at college, but he never got to play in a game.
It was the end of the football season, and as he ran to the practice field shortly before a big playoff game, the coach met him with a telegram (电报). The young boy read the telegram and he became deathly silent. Crying hard, he said, “My father died this morning. Is it all right if I miss practice today?” The coach put his arm gently around his shoulder and said, “Take the rest of the week off, son. And don’t even plan to come back to the game on Saturday.”
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Saturday arrived, and the game wasn’t going well.
