AWith its snow-covered mountains and a variety of wildlife, Yellow Stone National Park is one of the scenic treasures of the United States. Located primarily in Wyoming, the park hosts millions of visitors every year. If you plan to travel within the park, keep in mind advice from the National Park Service.Seasonal TravelTravel varies vastly from season to season. Roads are generally open in the summer except for cases of rock or mud slides, wild fires, accidents or road construction. Early snows in the fall can cause some roads to close temporarily. In the winter almost all roads are closed to motor vehicles, but snowmobiles and other snow vehicles with tracks are allowed. Roads begin to open for the spring by the latter part of April but can close if snowfall continues.Driving TimeGrand Loop is the main road through Yellowstone National Park; it passes by most of the major attractions. These include Old Faithful, Yellowstone Lake and the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone. The maximum speed limit on the Grand Loop is 45 miles per hour, but the speed limit drops during some of the winding and twisting sections of this narrow road. Allow yourself at least two days to fully travel the loop due to the size of the park and being sometimes stuck in heavy traffic.Safety AwarenessBuffalo(水牛)often block the roads in the park as they move through the fields. If a group is traveling across the road you are on, you can either wait for them to pass or find an alternative route. If you get out of yourvehicle, the National Park Service says to stay at least 25 yards from any buffalo (and 100 yards or more away from bears and wolves). Buffalo are particularly unpredictable and charge people at speeds up to 30 mph.You can take your bicycle on any public roads and routes designed for bikes, but bicycles are not allowed on the park roads which are narrow with few shoulders. Altitudes range from 5,300 to 8,860 feet. The National Park Service recommends cyclists wear helmets and noticeable clothing.21. What do we know about travelling in the Yellowstone Park?A. Roads will stay open in case of emergency.B. Traffic jam happens from time to time.C. The driving speed on the road can be 50 mph.D. Motor vehicles are allowed in the winter.22. What does the National Park Service suggest people do about safety?A. Stay inside the car throughout the travel.B. Get out of their vehicles when coming across the Buffalo.C. Wear the easy-to-see clothes while bicycling.D. Avoid bicycling on the public roads.23. From which is the text probably taken?A. A guidebook.B. A commercial advertisement.C. A research paper.D. A geography textbook.BViolette Childe, 67, is a dining companion who helps serve patients lunches. The role was introduced ten years ago by a dietitian concerning that some patients were not eating their meals.“Many of our patients are elderly and can be confused by the noisy, busy environment of the hospital and so won’t focus on eating.” explains Yvonne Donglas-Morris, head of volunteering, who oversees the activities of all 528of the trusty volunteers. “Staff are busy with the clinical side of things, so the dining companions were introduced. They will assist the patients and e ncourage them to eat.”Violette, a retired library manager, has been helping out for six years. “It makes me feel a bit more complete,” she says simply. “Helping with the meals frees up the nurses to get on with other things. I believe in being a part of t he community and this hospital is part of my community.”Another key role is played by the discharge volunteers, who offer support to the elderly, especially those aged 70 and over-leaving hospital to return to an empty home. The team has a budget of ￡10 per person and will pop to the shops and buy milk, bread and a meal to tide them over for the first few hours. They then call the patients regularly, for as long as they need, to check how they are getting on and if they need extra support.The volunteers in Kingston work from a dedicated office—a small room in one of the buildings on the hospital grounds, where a Christmas tree decorated with baubles (小饰物) bearing the faces of volunteers sits in the corner. “All the volunteers come and gather here, it gets very busy at times,” smiles Nicola Hutin, 67, a discharge support volunteer. A mother of two, and grandmother of four, she was a membership coordinator (协调员) for a trade association until she retired, and has since volunteered at the hospital one morning a week for 18 months.24. What can we learn about dining companions?A. Their working conditions are noisy.B. They are great assistants for doctors.C. They often make patients more nervous.D. The occupation existed more than ten years ago.25. What does Violette think of her work?A. She finds it tiring and boring.B. She finds it easy to complete her work.C. She believes it gives her a sense of belonging.D. She believes helping patients with meals is to free up the community.26. What does a discharge volunteer do for the patients?A. Raise money for the elderly.B. Pay a visit to them at home.C. Buy daily necessities for them.D. Ring to check their healthcondition.27. Which of the following can best describe the theme of the text?A. It is never too old to learn.B. Many hands make lightwork.C. Health is better than wealth.D. God helps those who helpthemselves.CLaughter’s significance has been recognized throughout history by such scientists and philosophers as Aristotle, Kant, Darwin and Freud. Yet besides a general appreciation that laughter is good for us –“the best medicine” – and is related with humor, we know little about laughter itself.The sound waveform analysis of giggles and belly laughs in lab has indicated special features of laughter. A laugh consists of a series of short notes, each about 75 milliseconds long, which are repeated at regular breaks about 210 milliseconds apart. A specific vowel sound (元音) does not necessarily mean laughter, but similar vowel sounds are typically used for the notes of a given laugh. For example, laughs have the structure of “ha-ha-ha” or “ho-ho-ho”, but not “ha-ho-ha-ho”. Other types of note difference often involve the first or last note in a laugh. Thus, “cha-ha-ha” or “ha-ha-ho” are possibly heard.Such characteristics of human laughter are partially a result of the physical limitations of our tongue, throat and lungs. It is difficult to laugh with longer notes, such as “haaaa-haaaa-haaaa”, or shorter notes much less than 75 milliseconds. Likewise, normal note length with abnormal breaks, namely “ha------ha------ha”, do not generally occur. As with the natural rhythms of walking or running, there are only so many ways to laugh.There is a common misbelief that laughter is unique to human beings. Since the time of Darwin, however, it has been known that chimpanzees perform a laugh-like sound during play. What human laughter and chimpanzee laughter differ actually is the way laugh notes and breaths combine. When humans laugh, the three-note “ha-ha-ha” is produced within one single breath out. On the contrary, chimpanzees have to breathe in for each laugh note before producing the next “ha”. This may also explain why such animals fail to speak English like us while they can learn sign language.28. Paragraph 1 mainly talks about __________.A. importance of laughter in ancient timesB. the medical value of laughterC. the relationship between humor and laughterD. the level of knowledge about laughter29. What can be an example of an unnatural laugh?A. Oh-ha-ha-haB. Oh-ha-oh-haC. Ha-ha-ha-hoD. Cha-ha-ha-ha30. We can’t naturally laugh with notes longer than 75 mil liseconds, because_________.A. vowel sounds must be made shortB. running prevents human laughterC. organs for speech are weak in doing soD. longer laughter is not popular in human society31. What can be inferred about chimpanzees?A. Darwin found evidence of their style of laughter.B. An extra breathing out is made when they laugh.C. Their hands and fingers can make gestures.D. They cannot produce a three-note laugh.DDon’t put it off, do it now!Why do we spend so much time not doing the work we should do, or putting off small jobs that have piled up to create a big problem? Procrastinating, as putting things off like this is called, is in our character we have naturally since birth; we avoid dull or difficult jobs until it’s too late to do anything else.“We often put things off although we know it will make life more stressful,” says Dr. Steel, an authority on the science of motivation. “If these tasks were fun, we’d just do them now. We put off what is difficult or unpleasant, such as the paperwork that needs doing before leaving the office or cleaning the bits of your home that people can’t see. But the fact is, the less people procrastinate, the more money they have, the better relationships they have, and the healthier they are.” This is obviou s when you look at the couples who don’t argue about whether anyone has cleaned the kitchen, and the people who simply go for a run instead of endlessly rescheduling it in their heads.Of course, there are the rest of us, who feel the small jobs piling up around us daily. “We’ve evolved to respond to the moment, and not to set our sights too far in an uncertain world,” Dr. Steel adds. “We are not set up to appreciate long-term rewards, whether it’s the benefit of a four-yeardegree, doing exercise or dieting. We usually feel the cost now and the reward comes much later.” According to Dr. Steel, we have two decision-making systems. They are the limbic, which is responsible for the short term, and the prefrontal cortex, which deals with the future. We bounce between long-term goals and short-term temptations, so we need goals that will translate our plans for the limbic system.Let’s take the example of students’ writing essays. They should set themselves targets and word counts per day. These are thus turned from seemingly endless tasks into something concrete with measured progress. Dr. Steel recommends such techniques, or “pre-commitments”, adding that leaving you a month before the “deadline” makes it more likely a task that will be completed. The benefit is that you’ll avoid the embarrassment of not following up on something people are expecting you to do—telling everyone you are going to take up jogging makes you more likely to do so.Overcoming procrastination finally comes down to planning, which, if you’re not careful, becomes procrastination in itself. But it is worth making sure you have everything in place. “Successful people don’t pretend they don’t procrastinate,” Dr. Steel says. “People who pretend they have willpower are less successful.” Instead, plan for procrastination: make your work environment a temple of productivity by cutting out what stops you paying your attention, so you can really focus on moving forward.32. What does the author say about procrastination in Paragraph 1?A. It is someth ing many people can’t help.B. It is an excuse people often use in public.C. It is caused by the technology in people’s life.D. It is more common when people have small jobs to do.33. In paragraph 3, Dr. Steel believes that people who procrastinate should______.A. attempt to overcome their natural tendenciesB. take the advice of others in the same situationC. be aware that their problem is relatively smallD. find out more about the way they make decisions34. Why does Dr. Steel recommend making “pre-commitments” in Paragraph 4?A. They are an alternative to impossible goals.B. They make challenges feel more manageable.C. They are an effective way of impressing others.D. They allow people to achieve their aims sooner.35. What does the author do by saying the underlined sentence?A. Encourage the reader to develop plans cautiously.B. Advise the reader to deal with complex tasks quickly.C. Warn the reader against spending too long getting organized.D. Remind the reader to take the time to focus properly on a task.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
