The Best National Parks to Visit in Winter
While most parks tend to draw families in the summer and fall, there are also ideal spots for adventurous winter trips.
Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming
The country's oldest and best-known national park takes on an almost other worldly atmosphere in winter: the air filled with rolling steam, the strong colors of hot springs, the surrounding white landscapes, let alone the impressive wildlife during this time, like bison, wolves, and playful red foxes. Just book a guided hiking tour to get a ranger's perspective on the park and local people.
Joshua Tree National Park, California
With its giant red, rocks and unique trees, you'll feel like stepping onto a foreign planet as you spend hours hiking the Panorama Loop or Maze Loop. The park is recognized as an International Dark Sky Park, featuring virtually zero light pollution and the country's best views of a starry sky.
Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona
A significantly lower number of visitors in winter means you can take in unblocked(不受阻碍的) views of the South Rim, and get to see the rare beauty of the Grand Canyon dusted with snow. For those adventurous and daring, it is proposed to hike the Bright Angel Trail and take the chance to see the canyon's wintertime wildlife, including mule deer, elk, and bald eagles.
Virgin Islands National Park, St. John
Surprise! Not all wintertime national park trips need to involve snow. Virgin Islands National Park is most famous for its white-sand beaches. You can also hike inland to visit old sugar plantations, swim along with sea turtles. You will definitely enjoy a different winter here.
21. Which park will one choose if he/she is interested in stars
A. Yellowstone National Park. B. Joshua Tree National Park.
C. Grand Canyon National Park. D. Virgin Islands National Park.
22. What do we know about the Grand Canyon National Park
A. We can have a poor view of the South Rim there.
B. It lies in an area with rolling steam and hot springs.
C. There is a small decline in visitor numbers in winter.
D. The Bright Angel Trail is challenging in cold weather.
23. Which activity is mentioned in all of the parks
A. Hiking. B. Skiing. C. Swimming. D. Hunting.
B
Dry eye-a condition that occurs when your eyes don't produce enough tears, the tears don't work correctly or they evaporate(蒸发) too quickly-is much more than a bother. “The burning can feel like sand is in your eyes, and this can cause eye tiredness, light insensitivity, and blurry(模糊的) vision,” says Angela Bevels, a doctor in Tucson, Arizona.
Nearly 16 million Americans may have dry eye, according to the National Eye Institute. Anyone can develop the problem, but it's more common in women and people over 50.
Sometimes dry eye is a temporary(暂时的) condition caused by a variety of irritants(刺激物). But it can be constant, too, when caused by immune system diseases Skin issues on or around the eyelids and diseases of the glands(腺) in the eyelids are also common contributors. People who wear contact lenses(隐形眼镜) or have had eye surgeries(手术) are also at a higher risk.
Some lifestyle changes can minimize the discomfort. First, take frequent breaks from staring at computer and phone screens, which may cause tears to work overtime, according to Aditya Kanesa-thasan, MD, an eye doctor at the Wills Eye Hospital in Philadelphia.
Turn off fans or other direct air to your face, as this can increase the evaporative loss of tears as well, he says. Eight to ten glasses of water every day can also play a role in keeping your eyes lubricated(润滑的).
Over-the-counter eye drops can help ease symptoms. But when these solutions don't provide relief or you find you're using drops more than six times a day, it's time to see an eye doctor for treatments.
24. What do we know about dry eye according to the passage
A. It is a temporary condition. B. tis caused by eye weakness.
C It will make you unable to sense light. D. It may be caused by immune system diseases.
25. Which group of people are more likely to have dry eye
A. People under 50. B. People with eyelids skin issues.
C. People wearing glasses. D. People having performed eye surgeries.
26. What should people with dry eye do
A. Use eye drops more often. B. Avoid using phones or computers.
C. Drink enough water every day. D. Go to the doctor for eye surgeries.
27. What's the best title for the passage
A. Coping with Dry Eye B. Tips for Eye Health
C. Caring for Your Eyes D. Causes of Dry Eye
C
The remains of a gold mask are among a huge quantity of 3,000-year-old artifacts(文物) found at an archaeological(考古的) site in China's Sichuan province.
Weighing about 280 grams and estimated to be made from 84% gold, the mask is one of over 500 items unearthed from six newly discovered "sacrificial pits(祭祀坑)", according to the country's National Cultural Heritage Administration.
The finds were made at Sanxingdui, a 4.6-square-mile area outside the provincial capital of Chengdu. Some experts say the items may shine further light on the ancient Shu State, a kingdom that ruled in the western Sichuan basin before 316 BC.
In addition to the gold mask, archaeologists uncovered bronzes(青铜器) and artifacts made from other materials such as bone. The six pits also contained an as-yet-unopened wooden box and a bronze container.
More than 50,000 ancient artifacts have been found at Sanxingdui since the 1920s, when a local farmer accidentally came upon some remains at the site. A major breakthrough occurred in1986, with the discovery of two ceremonial pits containing over 1,000 items, including delicate and well-preserved bronze masks. Discoveries made at the site date back to the 12th and 11thcenturies BC.
6Sanxingdui has completely revolutionized(变革) experts' understanding of how civilization developed in ancient China. In particular, evidence of a unique Shu culture suggests that the kingdom developed independently of neighboring societies in the Yellow River Valley, which was traditionally considered to be the birthplace of Chinese civilization.
Though not yet recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage, Site, Sanxingdui is on the organization's list for possible future inclusion. Along with other Shu archaeological sites, it is credited(认定) by the UN agency as “an outstanding representative(代表) of the Bronze Age Civilization of China, East Asia and even the world."
28. What does the underlined phrase "shine further light on" in Paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Make greater progress in. B. Have a deeper influence on.
C. Provide more information about. D. Engage more attention to.
29. Why is the discovery of Sanxingdui so unique
A. It changes experts' understanding of how Chinese civilization developed.
B. It confirms that the Shu Kingdom developed in the Yellow River Valley.
C. It implies that the Yellow River Valley is the birthplace of Chinese civilization.
D. It shows Sanxingdui symbolizes an important change in Chinese society.
30. What does Paragraph 5 mainly deal with
A. Sanxingdui's history of discovery. B. The world's recognition of Sanxingdui.
C. The difficulty in discovering Sanxingdui. D. The protection of Sanxingdui's remains.
31. Which of the following can be the best title for this passage
A. Sanxingdui Accidentally Discovered by a Local Farmer
B. 3,000-year-old Gold Mask Uncovered in Southwest China
C. Outstanding Representatives of the Bronze Age Kingdom
D. New Addition to the List of UNESCO World Heritage Sites
D
Internet security researchers say they have looked at and identified software weakness that puts millions of smart devices we use at risk of attacks and the Internet security weakness can be used to attack business or home computer networks. The report says many devices are designed for personal use and include the ability to control home cameras and temperature from a panies use similar devices in security systems, heating and cooling equipment, printers and servers.
There is no evidence that any attacks have already been carried out on the defenceless devices. However, the findings have led the officials to give a warning to the users and suggest to them that defensive measures should be taken to lessen the risks of attacks. Specifically, the officials say industrial control systems shouldn't be accessible from the Internet and should be separated from company networks.
Awais Rashid is a computer scientist who has examined the findings. He says that the discovery shows the dangers experts often find in Internet-linked devices designed without much attention to security. Dealing with the problem is especially complex because the weaknesses are found in so-called open-source software, which is free to use and can be changed by anyone. According to Elisa, vice president of research, the fact that open-source software is not owned by anyone makes the problem difficult to solve but the problem should be tackled(处理) with an effort. This means it is up to device manufacturers(制造商) to fix the weaknesses themselves and some may not have the time or money to do so.
Experts say the risks are even higher with so many people working from home during theCOVID-19 pandemic. This could permit attackers to hack into home networks and use this as a pathway into company networks.
32. What is the researchers' attitude towards the Internet security weakness
A. Tolerant. B. Doubtful. C. Concerned. D. Uncaring.
33. How do the officials deal with the problem of Internet security
A. By giving some advice to the Internet users.
B. By helping online users upgrade software.
C. By linking industrial control systems to company networks.
D. By warning Internet operators to lessen the risks of attacks.
34. What does Elisa think of solving the problem of Internet security
A. Complex and impossible. B. Challenging but necessary.
C. Effortless and worthwhile. D. Potential but unimportant.
35. What is the author's main purpose in writing the text
A. To advocate using defensive devices.
B. us to stay away from the Internet.
C. To separate home networks from company networks.
D. To introduce the potential risk of smart devices
