Inspired by the USA’s recent solar eclipse(日蚀)? These equally impressive events and activities will inspire your desire for a visit.
Witness a desert superbloom
Occasionally, the normally dry Mojave Desert, Sonoran Desert, and Chihuahuan Desert will burst into a carpet of yellow, purple, and pink flowers in spring. This is a surperbloom, and it happens if there’s significant rainfall between September and November. There’s one wildflower bloom every 5.3 years on average, and a superbloom on average once every 11.2 years.
WHERE TO GO: Death Valley National Park, California, the USA
WHEN TO GO: February—March
Watching rockets launching
Every launch is very impressive and exciting because you don’t know what will happen until the last moment. You hear the fire and fury for several minutes—seeing a launch in person is a billion times better than watching on TV. The current hot ticket, though, is going to watch a SpaceX reusable rocket launch, then land back at Cape Canaveral.
WHERE TO GO: Wallops Fights Facility, Virginia or Kennedy Space Center, Florida
BEST TIME TO GO: Check or
Enjoy a never-ending lightning storm
Think lighting never strikes twice? The odds are more generous over the mouth of the Catatumbo River at Lake Maracaibo, Venezuela, which hosts lighting storms for up to 297 nights a year, thanks to its unique geographical location. “Watching the Catatumbo lightning is an experience you will get nowhere else,” says Jonas Piontek, a German photographer who has travelled there twice to capture the storms. “You are basically isolated from everyone no network, no Internet, no real civilization around. It’s just you and nature, and one of the best shows on Earth.”
WHERE TO GO: Catatumbo Camp, Venezuela
WHEN TO GO: October—November
56.What causes a superbloom to happen in the desert?

“I think I’m nothing more than a dead fish.” “I don’t want to do anything. ”“I’m so beat and so sad.”... ... The young generation in our country used to enjoy their “happy culture” but now they have become “beat and sad” slowly and secretly. Some people even called it “the beat culture”. The “Beat” youths don’t want to do anything. They have no purpose, no desire and they are totally depressed so that they only want to live an aimless life. The “Ge You slouch” and the song I feel like having been drained are the examples.
Many media concern themselves about this phenomenon and try to persuade the youths into embracing positive and healthy feelings and encourage them to work hard to get rid of decadence. This is really a kind gesture. However, we don’t have to worry too much about this “beat culture.” In fact, it’s not a negative thing. “Beat”never means despair, but a way of self-mockery (自嘲) and pressure relief.
In general, the youths in China are not “beat”. According to a recent international research, the youths in China hold positive attitude towards the future. 29% of the Chinese interviewees believe they will live and work in peace in China because “as long as you work hard, you can have your own day”. Around 93% of the Chinese interviewees believe the future is promising because of medicine industry, renewable energy sources and computer. Compared with Chinese youngsters, youths in developed countries are more pessimistic.
Of course there are some social reasons for the appearing of “the Beat Culture”. As urbanization develops rapidly, youths living in big cities are facing new challenges that their forefathers have never encountered before. Loneliness and feelings of insignificance and powerlessness are easy to get hold of the young people. Without proper care, they could threaten our mentality and cause many social problems. These problems probably need our attention more.
58. “The Beat culture”includes the following examples except that
A. the young generation don’t feel like doing anything.
B. the young generation consider themselves dead fish.
C. the young generation in big cities are facing new challenges.
D. the young generation enjoy the song I feel like having been drained.
59. Which word has the most similar meaning with “decadence” in Paragraph 2?
A. loneliness
B. laziness
C. sufferings
D. pessimism
60. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Most people believe that with hard work, people can have their own day.
B. These days, young people suffer much more loneliness than their parents.
C. Chinese youths are more negative than those in developed countries.
D. Social development does bring some pressure to the younger generation.
61. What’s the main idea of the text?
A. The Chinese youths are not the beat generation.
B. How does “the Beat Culture” affect the Chinese youth.
C. “The Beat Culture” is positive to Chinese youngsters
D. “The Beat Culture” is popular among the Chinese youngsters.
C
Norman Garmezy, a developmental psychologist at the University of Minnesota, met thousands of children in his four decades of research. A nine-year-old boy in particular stuck with him. He has an alcoholic mother and an absent father. But each day he would walk in to school with a smile on his face. He wanted to make sure that “no one would feel pity for him and no one would know his mother’s incompetence.” The boy exhibited a quality Garmezy identified as “resilience.”
Resilience presents a challenge for psychologists. People who are lucky enough to never experience any sort of adversity(逆境) won’t know how resilient they are. It’s only when they’re faced with obstacles, stress, and other environmental threats that resilience, or the lack of it, comes out. Some give in and some conquer.
Garmezy’s work opened the door to the study of the elements that could enable an individual’s success despite the challenges they faced. His research indicated that some elements had to do with luck, but quite large set of elements was psychological, and had to do with how the children responded to the environment. The resilient children had what psychologists call an “internal locus of control (内控
children saw themselves as the arrangers of their own fates.
George Bonanno has been studying resilience for years at Columbia University’s Teachers College. He found that some people are far better than others at dealing with adversity. This difference might come from perception(认知) whether they think of an event as traumatic(创伤), or as an opportunity to learn and grow. “Stressful” or “traumatic” events themselves don’t have much predictive power when it comes to life outcomes. “Exposure to potentially traumatic events does not predict later func tioning,” Bonanno said. “It’s only predictive if there’s a negative response.” In other words, living through adversity doesn’t guarantee that you’ll suffer going forward.
The good news is that positive perception can be taught. “We can make ourselves more or less easily hurt by how we think about things,” Bonanno said. In research at Columbia, the neuroscientist Kevin Ochsner has shown that teaching people to think of adversity in different ways—to reframe it in positive terms when the initial response is negative, or in a less emotional way when the initial response is emotionally “hot”—changes how they experience and react to the adversity.
62. According to the passage, resilience is an individual’s ability ______.
A. to think critically
B. to decide one’s own fate
C. to live a better life
D. to recover from adversity
63. What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A. The psychologists.
B. The resilient children.
C. Positive elements.
D. Internal locus of control.
64. According to Paragraph 4, we can learn that _____.
A. your positive perception may turn adversity around.
B. stressful events are more predictive than delightful events.
C. experiencing adversity predicts that you will go on suffering.
D. a negative response doesn’t guarantee you will suffer all the time.
65. What is the author’s purpose of writing this passage?
A. To teach people how to be resilient.
B. To encourage people to live through adversity.
C. To indicate people’s perception varies from each other.
D. To compare different research findings about resilience.
D.
My grandmother Rosalind Einhorn was born exactly fifty-two years before I was, on August 28, 1917. Like many poor Jewish families in New York City, hers lived in a small, crowded apartment close to their relatives. Her parents, aunts and uncles addressed her male cousins by their given names, but she and her sister were referred to only as “Girlie”.
During the Depression, my grandmother was pulled out of Morris High School to help support the household by sewing fabric flowers onto undergarments that her mother could resell for a tiny profit. No one in the community would have considered taking a boy ou t of school. A boy’s education was the family’s hope to move up the financial and social ladder. Education for girls, however, was less significant both financially, since they were unlikely to contribute to the family’s income, and
culturally, since boys were expected to study the Torah while girls were expected to run a “proper home”. Luckily for my grandmother, a local teacher insisted that her parents put her back into school. She went on not only to finish high school but to graduate from U.C. Berkeley.
After college, “Girlie” worked selling pocketbooks and accessories at David’s Fifth Avenue. When she left her job to marry my grandfather, David’s had to hire four people to replace her. Years later, when my grandfather’s paint business was struggl ing, she jumped in and took some of the hard steps he was unwilling to take, helping to save the family from financial ruin. She displayed her business ability again in her forties. After being diagnosed（诊断）with breast cancer, she beat it and then devoted herself to raising money for the clinic that treated her by selling some watches. Girlie ended up with a profit that Apple would envy. I have never met anyone with more energy and determination than my grandmother.
When my grandmother had children of her own — my mother and her two brothers — she emphasized education for all of them. My mother attended the University of Pennsylvania. When she graduated in 1965 with a degree in French literature, she surveyed a workforce that she believed consisted of two career options for women: teaching or nursing. She chose teaching. She began a Ph. D. programme, got married, and then dropped out when she became pregnant with me. It was thought to be a sign of weakness if a husband needed his wife’s help to support t heir family, so my mother became a stay-at-home parent and an active volunteer. The centuries-old division of labor stood.
Even though I grew up in a traditional home, my parents had the same expectations for me, my sister, and my brother. All the three of us were encouraged to do well in school, do equal routine tasks, and participate in after-school activities. We were all supposed to be athletic too. My brother and sister joined sports teams, but I was the kid who got picked last in gym, despite my athletic shortcomings.
I was raised to believe that girls could do anything boys could do and that all career paths were open to me.
When I arrived at college in the fall of 1987, my classmates of both genders seemed equally focused on academics. I d on’t remember thinking about my future career differently from the male students. I also don’t remember any conversations about someday balancing work and children. My friends and I assumed that we would have both. Men and women competed openly and aggressively with one another in classes, activities，and job interviews. Just two generations removed from my grandmother, the playing field seemed to be level.
But more than twenty years after my college graduation, the world has not evolved nearly as much as I believed it would. Almost all of my male classmates work in professional settings. Some of my female classmates work full-time or part-time outside the home and just as many are stay-at-home mothers and volunteers like my mom. This mirrors the national trend. In comparison to their male counterparts（相同能力者）, highly trained women are scaling back and dropping out of the workforce in high numbers.
66. Why were the writer’s grandma and her sisters called “Girlie”?
A. They had not yet got their given names.
B. They were highly valued by their elders.
C. They shared apparent similarities in many ways.
D. They were regarded as less important than boys.
67. What conclusion can we draw about the writer’s grandmother?
A. She was an extraordinarily able and tough woman.
B. She was full of ideas for solving various problems.
C. She benefited greatly from her family background.
D. She had special ways of teaching her own children.
68. What might people think when the writer’s mother gave up her jo b?
A. Her freedom of choice ought to be well respected.
B. Her job should be taken over by a younger person.
C. It was a real shame about her losing that good job.
D. It was quite normal for a woman like her to do so.
69. From the description o f the writer’s own life, we can see ________.
A. great expectations in the students’ minds
B. seeming social progress in certain aspects
C. innocent friendship between boys and girls
D. positive attitudes to work and competitions
70. By writing the passage the writer intends to reveal ________.
A. the necessity of women’s education
B. the importance of women’s liberation
C. the existence of gender discrimination
D. the lives of three generations of women

When was the last time you read a book or a magazine article? Do your everyday reading habits centre around updates on the Internet? In case you are one of innumerable individuals who don’t make a habit of reading consistently you may be passing up a great opportunity: Reading has a noteworthy number of advantages and only a couple of advantages of reading are recorded below.
Everything you read fills your head with new bits of information and you never know when it might be useful to you. The more knowledge you have, the better- equipped you are to overcome any challenge you’ll ever face. Additionally, here’s a bit of food for thought：Should you ever find yourself in terrible circumstances, remember that although you might lose everything else —your job, your possessions, your money, even your health — knowledge can never be taken from you.
At the same time, the more you read, the more words you g ain exposure to, and they’ll surely make their way into your everyday vocabulary. Being able to express your ideas clearly in words is of great help in any profession and knowing that you can speak to higher-ranking people with self-confidence can be a great encouragement to your self-esteem（自尊）. It could even aid in your career as those who are well-read, well-spoken, and knowledgeable on a variety of topics tend to get promotions more quickly (and more often) than those with smaller vocabularies and lack of awareness of literature, scientific breakthroughs, and global events. Reading books is also vital for learning new languages, as non-native speakers gain exposure to words used in context, which will improve their own speaking and writing fluency.
When you read a book, you have to remember a lot of characters, their backgrounds, ambitions, history as well as the various plots that weave their way through every story. That’s a fair bit to remember, but brains are wonderful things and can remember these things with relative ease. Amazingly enough, whenever you remember something new, new synapses are formed and existing ones are strengthened. How cool that is!
No matter how much stress you have at work, in your personal relationships, or countless other issues。
