Dreaming of summer picnics filled with family and fun? We've come up with 4 of the top picnic areas across the US.
Cumberland Islands, Georgia
Just a few hours south of Savannah, this national seashore is a wonderful picnic place. It's an unspoiled place in the Deep South with over 50 miles of hiking trails (小径). Covered in Spanish moss, the trails are lined with trees and since it's still a rural area, the stars line up for a grand show at night and create the perfect evening starlit picnic opportunity.
Grant Park, Chicago
If you are looking for delicious food in Chicago,go for a taste of a 20-day, lake-front, foodie festival that happens in October each year. Grab a spot near the fountain to enjoy your picnic, appreciate the city scenery and lake views and relax with family and friends. If you are there
on July 4th, be sure to plan the day to include the fireworks display at the Navy Pier.
Here, you'll enjoy natural picnics with island views. The islands are a delightful group of islands about 20 minutes offshore from Acadia National Park. You can visit the islands by private boat or ferry service. Bring a picnic basket along for the ride as it's a romantic picnic area to take your special someone or go for a family outing to visit the islands.

5．阅读理解
A study based on data gathered by a NASA sensor has revealed China and India, the world's
two most populous countries, are primarily responsible for making the Earth greener over the
past two decades.
The study, published on Feb 11 in the journal Natural Sustainability, has found that since 2000
the Earth's green leaf area has increased by over 5 million square kilometers. That's an area equivalent to the total of the Amazon rainforests. "China and India account for one-third of the greening, considering the general idea of land degradation (退化 ) in populous countries from overexploitation," said Chen Chi from Boston University, lead author of the study.
The effect mainly comes from ambitious tree-planting programs in China and intensive agriculture in both countries, NASA said in a statement. China is the source of a quarter of the
planet's increase in forest area, despite having only 6.6 percent of the world's vegetated (固定植
被的 )area, according to the study. Forest conservation and expansion programs account for 42 percent of the increase, and another 32 percent come from intensive agriculture of food crops, NASA said. While raising their green leaf areas, China and India have also greatly increased their food production through" multiple cropping" practices, where a field is replanted and crops are harvested several time each year. "Production of grains, vegetable, fruits and more have increased by about 35 to 40 percent since 2000 to feed their large population," NASA said.
Over the past decades, China has made great efforts to green the land. In 1978, the central government launched a national-level forestation project-the Three North Shelterbelt Forest Program. By the end of 2017, the forest coverage rate among the regions in the project reached
13.57 percent, compared to 5.05 percent 40 years ago. In a greening project, Kubuqi Desert, seventh largest in the country, has seen one-third of its area covered by vegetation during the
past three decades thanks to forestation efforts.
（1） What have China and India contributed to according to NASA?
A. Land greening.
B. Land degradation.
C. Population explosion.
D. Forest conservation.
（2） What can we learn about "multiple cropping "practices?
A. They turn out to be ineffective.
B. They improve the food output.
C. They raise the vegetated area.
D. They allow planning once annually.
（3） What was the forest coverage rate in 1977?
A. 5.05%.
B. 6.6%.
C. 13.57%.
D. 32%.（4） How is the passage mainly developed?
A. By space.
B. By listing facts.
C. By comparison.
D. By making definition.
【答案】（ 1） A
（2） B
（3） A
（4） C

7．阅读理解
Loud cheers and applause broke out at NASA's Jet Propulsion Lab on Monday, November 25, 2018, as the unmanned lander, called Insight, touched down on Mars, after nearly seven years from design to launch to landing.
The great arrival of the spacecraft- designed to listen for quakes and shakes as a way to discover the Red Planet's inner secrets, how it formed billions of years ago and, how other planets like Earth took shape- marked the eighth successful landing on Mars in Nasa's history.
Minutes after InSight landed on the surface of Mars, the first image was sent back, showing
a wide flat area as seen through a dirty camera.
The touchdown came after a nearly seven-month, 300 million-mile travel from Earth to Mars, during which the InSight spacecraft had to slow down from a speed of more than 12,000 mph.
The spacecraft's heat shelter helped the lander survive temperatures as high as 2,700 ℉ .
Each step along the way was watched nervously at JPL, with updates delayed by the eight-minute light travel time between Earth and Mars. Mission controllers hugged each other with joy when the signals were received. "We are proud of everything that has gone on today," they told
us reporters.
The first picture of the surface of Mars was sent back to Earth by one of the MarCO nanosatellites ( 马可纳米卫星 ) that accompanied InSight during its travel to Mars. The dust from the landing made the view unclear. Pictures from it were expected to be clearer once the dust settled and the lens cover ( 镜头盖 ) was removed.
Hours later, InSight's batteries were charging as expected. The InSight team also passed on another picture, taken by a different camera that's fixed on the lander's robotic arm. The view is clearer, showing the robotic arm and the seismometer, which is used to discover the actual movement of the ground.
（1） What do we know about InSight lander from the passage?
A. It has landed successfully on Mars eight times.
B. It travelled all the way at the speed of 12,000 mph.
C. Mission controllers helped it survive high temperature.
D. The task of it is to find out the inner mysteries of Mars.
（2） We know what Mars looks like by.
A. studying pictures InSight lander sends back
B. reading reports sent back by the person on Mars
C. collecting images sent back by MarCO nanosatellites
D. analyzing information the robot on InSight lander sends back
（3） How did the mission controllers feel when they received signals from Insight?
A. Unconcerned.
B. Worried.
C. Amazed.
D. Excited.（4） The passage is most probably taken from.
A. a fiction novel
B. a news report
C. a travel magazine
D. an official statement

8．阅读理解
The latest data from the Office for National Statistics shows that one in every 12 kids is living in homes where no one has worked for at least a year. That may be due to unemployment or issues
such as sickness or disability that mean they can't work, and aren't required to. This is known as being in a "long term workless" family.
The issues faced by children in workless families have very bad influence on their development and education, limiting their future employment prospects, and reducing their opportunities to succeed throughout their lives.
Not only does worklessness reduce family income, it can also damage families' health and stability, and thus destroy children's development. This is because many workless families are held back by disadvantages such as debt, drug and alcohol dependency, and by homelessness. Suffering from the family problems, many children face a greater and greater possibility of repeating the poor outcomes of their parents. Government research has shown that children in workless families are almost twice as likely not to reach the expected level at all stages of their education. For example, three-quarters of children from families where no one works failed to
reach the expected level at General Certificate of Secondary Education (GCSE), compared to around half of children in lower-income working families.
So attention should be paid to children in out-of-work homes. Having working parents means a child is more likely to do better at school, to have better health, education and development, and also means they are less likely to fall into crime.
But for some families, worklessness, or not employment, is the norm. They just choose not to work. These families often face huge barriers to getting on with their lives but they take the opportunities offered by the society. Parents' ability to work is frustrated by issues like low skills
or poor mental or physical health, or drug and alcohol dependency, leaving children without the stability they need.
We all want to help workless families with complex problems so that their children can take advantage of the opportunities in Britain. We all want parents to have the chance to go out to
earn a living and to enjoy the pleasure of work, so that their children can benefit from the good examples of working parents. In doing so, we should know the need to understand the complex issues that some families face and to develop a new approach to deal with poverty. Because the root causes are not financial. It is about helping families overcome the problems they face so that they can go as far as their talents and hard work will take them. We shouldn't retreat from acting
to deal with disadvantages, because we know the costs of inaction to individuals, communities
and society.
（1） According to the author, children in workless families may .
A. have better performance at school
B. take chances to go out to earn a living
C. be more able to deal with their problems
D. live the same lifestyles that their parents had
（2） The underlined word "norm" in the fifth paragraph probably means .
A. a huge barrier
B. a turning point
C. a typical standard
D. an unusual event （3） In the last paragraph the author mainly talked about .
A. raising of social welfare
B. solutions to the problems
C. development of the society
D. reforming of the government
（4） The main purpose of the passage is to.
A. introduce a study on children in workless families
B. appeal to the readers to help children in workless families
C. present a new approach to deal with poverty of workless families
D. compare children's performances in workless families and low-income ones
【答案】（ 1） D
（2） C
（3） B
（4） B

（ 2 ）考查词义猜测。

just choose not work" 自己选择不工作,所以这种家庭是典型例子。

故选C。

（ 3）考查段落大意。

with poverty. Because the root causes are not financial. It is about helping families overcome the
problems they face so that they can go as far as their talents and hard work will take them在这

Ronald Reagan ever said, "It's true hard work never killed anybody, but I figure, why take the chance?" To some extent, extra effort seems to be self-defeating. Studies suggest that, after 50
hours a week, employee productivity falls sharply.
But that doesn't stop some managers from demanding that workers stay chained to their desk
for long periods. Jack Ma, the founder of Alibaba, recently praised the "996" model, where employees work from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., 6 days a week, as a "huge blessing". Apparently, presenteeism ( 出勤主义 ) is the curse of the modern office worker.
There will be days when you do not have much to do: perhaps because you are waiting for someone else in a different department, or a different company, to respond to a request. As the clock ticks past 5 pm, there may be no purpose in staying at your desk. But you can see your
boss hard at work and, more importantly, they can see you. So you make an effort to look busy.
Some of this may be a self-continuing cycle. If bosses do not like to go home before their employees, and employees fear leaving before their bosses, everyone is trapped. Staff may feel
that they will not get a pay rise, or a promotion, if they are not seen to be putting in maximum effort. This is easily confused with long hours. Managers, who are often no good at judging employees' performance, use time in the office as a measure. The consequence is often wasted effort. We pretend to work and managers pretend to believe us. Rather than work hard, you try
to make bosses think that you are. Leaving a jacket on your office chair, walking around purposefully with a notebook and sending out emails at odd hours are three of the best-known tricks. After a while this can result in collective self-delusion that this pretence is actual work.
But presenteeism has more serious consequences. It is perhaps most common in Japan, where people attend the office even when they are in discomfort. In doing so, they are doing neither themselves nor their employers any favours. As well as reducing productivity, this can increase medical expenses for the employer. According to a study in the Journal of Occupation and Environmental Medicine, these costs can be six times higher for employers than the costs of absenteeism among workers. Those workers were more likely to experience greater pain and to suffer from depression.
In the evolution of humanity, presenteeism is a recent phenomenon. In the industrial era, workers were paid not for their output but for their time, and were required to clock in and out.
But modern machinery like smartphones and laptops is portable. Turning an office into a prison,
with prisoners allowed home for the evenings, does nothing for the creativity that is increasingly demanded of office workers as routine tasks are automated. To be productive you need
presence of mind, not being present in the flesh.
