A
Swimming Holes in America
In America, these secret swimming holes are hidden and hard to reach but well worth the adventure.
Cummins Falls
Looking for the best place to escape the summer heat in the heartland of America? For more than 100 years, Cummins Falls, a scenic,75-foot waterfall located in Jackson County, TN, has been a treasure for Tennessee natives. But now, the secret is out! Although it’s a bit tough to get to, once in the park, the mountains and river provide unmatched beauty on your way to taking a swim in Tennessee's eighth-largest waterfall.
Sliding Rock
A popular place to cool off during those hot North Carolina summers, Sliding Rock waterfall is located in the Pisgah National Forest in Transylvania County. A flattened rock about 60 feet lies in a nearly 7-foot-deep pool at the bottom, making this natural waterslide a great place to visit with people of all ages.
Mooney Falls
It is the tallest water feature in the Grand Canyon, rising 190 feet above the surface. Named after an explorer in the 1800s, Mooney Falls is accessible only by crawling（爬）through 2 underground passages and then climbing down a sheer cliff（峭壁）face with just a couple of chains to hold on to. Although it is tough to get to, the view and the cool alone make it worth the trip.
Lihue Estate
A private swimming hole at the old Lihue Sugar Farm on Kauai, HI, was changed into an inner-tube water ride by Kauai Backcountry Adventures in 2003 and opened to adults. The waters for this 2.5-mile journey, which come from near the top of Mount Waialeale—one of the wettest spots in the world—are channeled through ditches（沟渠）that were hand-dug by farm workers over a century ago.
1. Which hole may be the favourable destination for families?
A. Lihue Estate.
B. Sliding Rock.
C. Mooney Falls.
D. Cummins Falls.
2. What can we learn about Mooney Falls from the text?
A. It wasfound by an explorer.
B. It was hand-dug in the 1800s.
C. It is dangerous to arrive there.
D. It is the tallest fall in the world.
3. What is special about Lihue Estate?
A. It is man-made.
B. It is a private area.
C. Its water is from underground.
D. It lies on the top of Mount Waialeale
B
Honeybees can’t swim, and when their wings are wet, they can’t fly, either. But Chris Roh and other researchers at the California Institute of Technology found that when bees drop into bodies of water, they can use their wings toproduce little waves and slide toward land-like surfers who create and then ride their own waves.
As with many scientific advances-IsaacNewton’s apple or Benjamin Franklin’s lightning bolt-Dr. Roh’s experiment began with a walk. Passing Caltech’s Millikan Pond in 2016, he observed a bee on the water’s surface producing waves. He wondered how an insect known for flight could push itself through water.
Dr. Roh and his co-worker, Morteza Gharib, used butterfly nets to collect localPasadenahoneybees and observed their surf-like movements. The researchers used a wire to restrict each bee’s bodily movement, allowing close examination of their wings. They found that the bee bends its wings at a 30-degree angle, pulling up water and producing a forward force. Bees get trapped on the surface because water is roughly three times heavier than air. But that weight helps to push the bee forward when its wings move quickly up and down. It’s a tough exercise for the bees, which the researchers guess could handle about 10 minutes of the activity.
The researchers said the surf-like movement hasn’t been documented in other insects and most semiaquatic insects use their legs forpropulsion, which is known as water-walking. It may have evolved in bees, they-predicted.
Dr. Roh and Dr. Gharib have imagined many practical applications for bees’ surfing. One plan is to use their observations to design robots able to travel across sky and sea. “This could be useful for search and rescues, or for getting samples of the surface of the ocean, if you can’t send a boat or helicopter,” Dr. Gharib said.
4. What does the author intend to show by mentioningNewtonandFranklin?
A. Roh’s admiration for them.
B. Roh’s chance discovery about bees.
C. Their outstanding talent for science.
D. Their similar achievements in discovery.
5. What plays the most vital role in a bee’s moving forward on water?
A. The air weight.
B. Its leg extension.
C. The water movement.
D. Its continuous wingbeat.
6. What does the underlined word “propulsion” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A. Fast flight
B. Driving force.
C. Pulling speed.
D. Explosive power.
7. What does the text mainly tell us?
A. Honeybees can surf to safety.
B. Bees help scientists make inventions.
C. Insects can adapt to the environment.
D. Nature is a helpful guide for discovery.
C
The secrets of dreaming are always interesting psychologists. It is generally acknowledged in the field that dreams people have during this time betweenchildhood and full adulthood, that’s around 30, are the strongest and most influential. Yet not enough is known about the repeated patterns of dreaming. Researchers are still trying to answer a basic question: How does dreaming relate to the life experiences and developmental challenges?
G. William Domhoff and Adam Schneider, at theUniversityofCalifornia, help to answer this question by examining the lengthy dream series of two individuals, “Izzy” and “Jasmine”. Izzy provided a collection of 4, 329 dream reports from between the ages of 12 and 25, while Jasmine provided 664 dreams recorded between the ages of 14 and 25.
Large collections of dreams like these pose challenges to researchers. Until recently, the means of studying dream series was to employ a team of recorders who take the time to code each dream for a predetermined(预先确定的)number of content categories, and then compare their results. Nowadays, digital technologies enable the analysis of language usage in dreams with high speed, accuracy, and objectivity. This marks a revolutionary advance in the science of dreaming. However,itcan only lead so far.
To gain more specific and detailed insights, Domhoff and Schneider tailored word strings(词串)for each dreamer, mixing elements of traditional research with digital tools for analyzing large data sets. For Izzy these word strings included “family and s”, “celebrities” and “fantasy”, while the word strings they created for Jasmine included “familiar places,” electrical equipment” and “music”. The researchers used these word strings to identify connections between their dreams and real lives. Surprisingly, the results of the analysis revealed a great deal of consistency(一致性)and continuity in both sets of dreams. Izzy pays much attention to pop culture, and has affection for famous actors. Jasmine is an accomplished musician and performer.
“The frequencies of dream elements show the intensity(强度)of the dreamer’s personal concern with that element in waking thought,” Domhoff and Schneider conclude. For anyone who still claims dreaming is merely random nonsense from the brain and mental world, these findings are hard to explain away.
8. What do psychologists agree with about dreams?
A. Dreams are influenced by life experiences.
B. Dreaming is never nonsense from the brain.
C. Dreams in one’s teens and twenties are strongest.
D The patterns of dreaming are usually repeated.
9. What does “it” underlined in paragraph 3 refer to?
A. The collection of dreams.
B. Research into dreaming.
C. The digital method.
D. The challenge for psychologists.
10. How do the researchers conduct their study?
A. By analyzing large data sets.
B. By developing individualized word strings.
C. By identifying the patterns of dreaming.
D. By making comparison with traditional research.
11. Which can be the best title for the text?
A. New tech, new finding
B. Dreams: reflections of waking reality
C. Lives, languages, dreams
D. Life experiences: elements of mental world
D
Most children who have suffered from ADHD still have it as teens. During teen years, especially as the hormonal changes of teenagers are going on and the demands of school and extra-curricular activities are increasing, ADHD may get worse.
Because of problems with getting unfocused and poor concentration, many teens with ADHD have problems in school. Grades may fall, especially if the teen is not getting ADHD treatment. It’s not uncommon for teens with ADHD to forget their homework, lose textbooks, and become bored with their daily class work. Teens may become inattentive or extremely attentive, not waiting for their turn before blurting out answers. They may cut in on their teacher and classmates. Teens with ADHD may also befidgetyand find it hard to sit still in class.
Often, teens with ADHD are so busy focusing on other things that they forget about the task at hand. This can be seen especially with homework and athletic skills and in relationships with their schoolmates. This lack of attention to what they’re doing often leads to bad grades on tests and being passed over for sports teams,
after-school activities, and learning teams. Kids with ADHD can be targets for bullying, too. But, not all children with ADHD have trouble getting along with others. If your child does, you can take measures to help improve their social skills and relationships.
ADHD affects all parts of a teenager’s life. As a parent you should discover your teen’s troubles as early as possible. The earlier your child’s troubles are discovered, the more successful the following steps can be.

A. To list the types of ADHD.
B. To introduce the main topic.

第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

选项中有两项为多余选项Should you eat to live or live to eat? It’s a question posed by French playwright Moliere in his workThe Miser. While eating is functional, and our bodies need the fuel that food provides, dining with friends or loved ones can be a wonderful experience. However, some of us often find ourselves reserving a table for one in a restaurant.______16______Maybe not.
Have you ever spent too long debating with people which restaurant to eat in or when to meet? If dining solo, you can make the choice depending on your desires at exactly the time you’re hungry! And why does it have to be a restaurant? You could eat in a park, garden or even your bed — the point is, the choice is yours!______17______According to psychologist Sherrie Bourg Carter, a bit of loneliness can help your brain to relax and may help you concentrate more.
___18___Maybe it’s apungent(刺鼻) cheese or fish. We sometimes hold back on things that may offend the noses of others. When dining alone, we can consume whatever we like, with the added bonus that we might be
able to eat more healthily. Often, if you want a salad and your partner wants some less healthy dish, you end up ordering the same. And if you don’t get the same, you might end up with food envy as you watch someone enjoy a pizza.
Finally, for some, dining alone can be a necessity.______19______Eating alone can save you from the extreme anxiety that may arise listening to someonesmack their lips(咂嘴)! So, is eating alone bad? Well, it may not be for everyone, but there certainly are some benefits to it.___20___
A. Is dining alone really that bad?
B. We all have foods we like and dislike.
C. Try it sometime — you might just like it!
D. It helps those who want to lose weight most.
E. That alone time also means it’s a time to switch off.
F. Does the restaurant really appreciate you dining alone there?
G. Those of us find the noise of others chewing food unbearable.
