21、The summer months are fast approaching, and the excitement of new adventures and outdoor experiences are on the horizon (地平线). Now is the time to start booking locations for camping and van sites. But where to go? Which one to choose? Here are some useful tips for you.
Choosing the best campground location
Everyone has different needs when it comes to booking an ideal spot for spending time outdoors. Contact the campground directly and well in advance and ask what campsites and areas tend to be the best fit for what you’re looking for, such as family-friendly, older crowds or quieter grounds. For a less crowded experience, book your stay during the week instead of the weekend. Some of the most popular destinations for camping in America include the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, which boasts (拥有) wildflowers, hiking and a scenic 11-mile ring road that can be walked or cycled; Yosemite National Park is one of the most popular places to put up a tent, with 13 campgrounds to choose from, including camping with an RV; the Mojave and the Colorado desert meet at Joshua Tree National Park, an ideal spot to park an RV.
Where to set up a tent
Location! This is vital when considering where you will be setting up shop, especially when it comes to a good night’s rest. Find a flat and dry campsite and build the tent on higher ground in case it rains so it won’t get flooded. Look for natural elements to help keep you warm. Trees and large rocks will keep the wind out and the warmth in. Be aware that the campsite should be close to things such as toilets, water, roads and playgrounds.
【1】What should you do to have a pleasant camping?
A．Telephone the campground on arrival.
B．Choose to go with friendly families
C．Go camping during the week.
D．Set up the tent on the weekend.
【2】Which campground will you choose if you like cycling?
A．The Colorado desert.
B．Joshua Tree National Park.
C．Yosemite National Park.
D．The Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
【3】Where should you put up your tent on a cloudy day?
A．On the level and warm place.
B．On the high and flat place.
C．Next to large rocks.
D．On the place near big trees.
22、The Arctic, Atlantic, Indian and Pacific are the four oceans we learned about in the geography class. But now we have a new ocean.
On World Oceans Day, which falls on June 8, the US National Geographic Society announced it would recognize the Southern Ocean in Antarctica, bringing the global total to five.
Unlike the Arctic, Atlantic, Indian and Pacific Oceans—which are defined by the continents that bound them—the Southern Ocean is instead characterized by the Antarctic Circumpolar Current. According to the National Geographic, the Southern Ocean includes most of the waters surrounding Antarctica out to 60 degrees south latitude.
“Rimmed by the powerful swift ACC, it is the only ocean to touch three others and to completely embrace a continent rather than being embraced by them," Sylvia Earle, US marine biologist and oceanographer, told the Daily Mail.
Those familiar with the Southern Ocean know it’s unlike any other. “Anyone who has been there will struggle to explain what’s so attractive about it, but they’ll all agree that the glaciers are bluer, the air colder, the mountains more intimidating and the landscapes more captivating than anywhere else you can go,” Seth Sykora-Bodie, a marine scientist at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, told National Geographic.
Due to the ecologically distinct environment of the Southern Ocean, it’s home to thousands of unique species. The ocean also has wider ecological effects. For example, humpback whales are known to feed on small shrimp off Antarctica during the summer before migrating north to the warmer climates of Central and South America for the colder winter months, according to the Daily Mail.
National Geographic hopes their revised maps will bring public awareness to the region, thereby encouraging Southern Ocean conservation—but its significance is beyond that.
“We think it’s really important from an educational standpoint, as well as from a map-labeling standpoint, to bring attention to the Southern Ocean as a fifth ocean,” Alex Tait, National Geographic Society geographer, told The Post. “So when students learn about parts of the ocean world, they learn it’s an interconnected ocean, and they learn there are these regions called oceans that are really important, and there’s a distinct one in the icy waters around Antarctica.”
【1】What is the difference between the Southern Ocean and the other four oceans?
A．It is defined by its neighboring continent.
B．It is defined by a current.
C．It touches all the other four oceans.
D．It is surrounded by frightening mountains.
【2】What does the example of humpback whales show?
A．Visitors to the ocean are driving some species away.
B．The Southern Ocean has a distinct ecosystem.
C．The Southern Ocean is home to unique species.
D．The Southern Ocean influences ecosystems elsewhere.
【3】What are the last two paragraphs mainly about?
A．Significance of labeling the Southern Ocean.
B．People’s interest in the Southern Ocean.
C．Purpose in revising maps.
D．Interconnectivity among the five oceans.
23、Jim Thorpe is one of the greatest athletes of all time. He had amazing athletic abilities and was well-known during his lifetime, yet that did not make Thorpe a stranger to adversity.
Thorpe was an American Indian from Oklahoma who developed his extraordinary athletic skills in his youth through hard labor. It was also in his youth that he learned to endure hardship brought upon by racial prejudice. Many would say his childhood was not easy. He grew up poor and at age 9, his twin brother passed away and a few years later he lost both of his parents.
But that did not stop him from doing what he loved and pursuing his dreams. Nothing seemed to stop him, not even stolen shoes. Just hours before Thorpe was going to compete in the 1912 Olympics, somebody stole his shoes. Thorpe improvised by getting shoes out of the garbage. The shoes were two different sizes. He wore an extra pair of socks on one foot to even them out.
He still went on to win two gold medals — winning each event he competed in except for one, the javelin (标枪).The javelin was the only event he didn’t win, probably because he had never competed in that event before. It is interesting to note that Thorpe had tried to throw the javelin once before in the Olympic trials. At the time, he didn’t know that he could throw it with a running start He threw it standing still and was placed second.
At the Olympics, he also took part in the decathlon (十项全能运动). He finished first in two events, third in four events, and fourth in two more. Thorpe ended up finishing third in the world. He was undoubtedly a dominating force that couldn’t be stopped and just kept on going.
I think Paul Dughi said it best, “It’s hard to imagine now that pro athletes get paid millions of dollars just to wear a particular brand of shoes. For Jim Thorpe, it didn’t matter what kind he wore.”
【1】What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 mean?
A．The adversity Thorpe met with led to his success.
B．Thorpe’s success was no guarantee of a better life.
C．Thorpe’s career brought him both gains and losses.
D．Thorpe suffered many hardships despite his success.
【2】Why did Thorpe wear more socks on one foot?
A．To prevent the toot from injury.
B．To make the shoe fit the foot.
C．To stop the shoe from being stolen.
D．To show his problem-solving skills.
【3】Which of the following words can best describe Jim Thorpe?
A．Loyal and enthusiastic.
B．Genuine and creative.
C．Tough and strong-minded.
D．Selfless and good-tempered.
