2、 doThe entire town displays the ski-chic atmosphere, hosting dozens of ski and snowboard competitions and festivals annually. In the warmer months, more outdoor enthusiasts come out to play. Visitors can try hiking or cycling up the mountains. While Whistle r is an ideal vacation spot for the active
3、 types, other travelers can enjoy the local museums and art galleries filled with informative exhibits. Plus, there are family-friendly activities and attractions like summer concerts, along with plenty of shopping options.When to visitThe best times to visit Whistler are from June through August an
4、d between December and March.How to get aroundThe best ways to get around Whistler are on foot or by bike. Or, you can take the shuttle buses from Whistler Village, which transport visitors to Lost Lake Park and the Marketplace.Meanwhile, having a car will allow you the freedom to explore top attrac
5、tions like Whistler Train Wreck and Alexander Falls without having to spend a lot of cash on a cab.What you need to knowWhistler receives feet of snow each year. If youre driving in winter, slow down and make sure to rent or come with a reliable SUV.Snowslides are likely to occur on Backcountry rout
6、es, so only advanced skiers should take to this off-the-map area. Whistlers wilderness is home to many black and grizzly bears. Keep your distance and do not feed them.21. What are active travelers recommended to do in Whistler?A. Bike up the mountains. B. Host ski competitions.C. Go shopping at the
7、 malls. D. Visit museum exhibitions.22. Which of the following is the most popular among travelers?A. Whistler Village. B. Lost Lake Park.C. The Marketplace. D. Whistler Train Wreck.23. What are travelers prohibited from doing in Whistler?A. Driving a rented SUV. B. Feeding grizzly bears.C. Explorin
8、g the wilderness. D. Skiing on Backcountry routes. BI used to believe that only words could catch the essence of the human soul. The literary works contained such distinct stories that they shaped the way we saw the world. Words were what composed the questions we sought to uncover and the answers t
9、o those questions themselves. Words were everything.That belief changed.In an ordinary math class, my teacher posed a simple question: Whats 0.99 rounded to the nearest whole number? Easy. When rounded to the nearest whole number,0.99=1. Somehow, I thought even though 0.99 is only 0.01 away from 1,
10、theres still a 0.01 difference. That means even if two things are only a little different, they are still different, so doesnt that make them completely different?My teacher answered my question by presenting another equation (等式): 1 = 0.9, which could also be expressed as 1=0.999999repeating itself
11、 without ever ending.There was something mysterious but fascinating about the equation. The left side was unchangeable, objective: it contained a number that ended. On the right was something endless,a number repeating itself limitless times. Yet, somehow, these two opposed things were connected by
12、an equal sign.Lying in bed, I thought about how much the equation paralleled our existence. The left side of the equation represents that sometimes life itself is so unchangeable and so clear. The concrete, whole number of the day when you were born and the day when you would die. But then there is
13、that gap in between life and death. The right side means a time and space full of limitless possibilities, and endless opportunities into the open future.So thats what life is. Objective but imaginative. Unchangeable but limitless. Life is an equation with two sides that balances itself out. Still,
14、we cant ever truly seem to put the perfect words to it. So possibly numbers can express ideas as equally well as words can. For now, lets leave it at that: 1 =0.999999and live a life like it.24. What does the author emphasize about words in paragraph 1?A. Their wide variety. B. Their literary origin
15、s.C. Their distinct sounds. D. Their expressive power.25. What made the author find the equation fascinating?A. The repetition of a number. B. The way two different numbers are equal.C. The question the teacher raised. D. The difference between the two numbers.26. Which of the following can replace
16、the underlined word“paralleled”in paragraph 6?A. Measured. B. Composed. C. Mirrored. D. Influenced.27. What is a suitable title for the text?A. The Perfect Equation B. Numbers Build EquationsC. An Attractive Question D. Words Outperform NumbersC“Why does grandpa have ear hair?”Just a few years ago m
17、y child was so curious to know“why”and“how”that we had to cut off her questions five minutes before bedtime. Now a soon-to-be fourth grader, she says that she dislikes school because“its not fun to learn.”I am shocked. As a scientist and parent, I have done everything I can to promote a love of lear
18、ning in my children. Where did I go wrong?My childs experience is not unique. Developmental psychologist Susan Engel notes that curiosity defined as“spontaneous(自发的) investigation and eagerness for new information”drops dramatically in children by the fourth grade.In Wonder: Childhood and the Lifelo
19、ng Love of Science, Yale psychologist Frank C. Keil details the development of wonder a spontaneous passion to explore, discover, and understand. He takes us on a journey from its early development, when wonder drives common sense and scientific reasoning, through the drop-off in wonder that often o
20、ccurs, to the trap of life in a society that devalues wonder.As Keil notes, children are particularly rich in wonder while they are rapidly developing causal mechanisms(因果机制) in the preschool and early elementary school years. They are sensitive to the others knowledge and goals, and they expertly u
21、se their desire for questioning.Childrens questions, particularly those about“why”and “how,” support the development of causal mechanisms which can be used to help their day-to-day reasoning.Unfortunately, as Keil notes, “adults greatly underestimate young childrens causal mechanisms.”In the book, W
22、onder, Keil shows that we can support childrens ongoing wonder by playing games with them as partners, encouraging question-asking, and focusing on their abilities to reason and conclude.A decline in wonder is not unavoidable. Keil reminds us that we can accept wonder as a desirable positive quality
23、 that exists in everyone. I value wonder deeply, and Wonder has given me hope by proposing a future for my children that will remain wonder-full.28. What is a common problem among fourth graders?A. They upset their parents too often. B. They ask too many strange questions.C. Their love for fun disap
24、pears quickly. D. Their desire to learn declines sharply.29. What can be inferred about childrens causal mechanisms in paragraph 4?A. They control childrens sensitivity.B. They slightly change in early childhood.C. They hardly support childrens reasoning.D. They develop through childrens questioning
25、.30. How can parents support childrens ongoing wonder according to Keil?A. By monitoring their games. B. By welcoming inquiring minds.C. By estimating their abilities. D. By providing reasonable conclusions.31. What is the text?A. A book review. B. A news report. C. A research paper. D. A children s
26、 story.DEach year, the world loses about 10 million hectares of forestan area about the size of Iceland because of cutting down trees. At that rate, some scientists predict the worlds forests could disappear in 100 to 200 years. To handle it, now researchers at Massachusetts Institute of Technology
27、(MIT) have pioneered a technique to generate wood-like plant materials in a lab.This makes it possible to“grow”a wooden product without cutting down trees.In the lab, the researchers first take cells from the leaves of a young plant. These cells are cultured in liquid medium for two days, then moved
28、 to another medium which contains nutrients and two different hormones (激素). By adjusting the hormone levels, the researchers can tune the physical and mechanical qualities of the cells. Next, the researchers use a 3D printer to shape the cell-based material, and let the shaped material grow in the
29、dark for three months. Finally,the researchers dehydrate(使脱水) the material, and then evaluate its qualities.They found that lower hormone levels lead to plant materials with more rounded, open cells of lower density(密度), while higher hormone levels contribute to the growth of plant materials with sm
30、aller but denser cell structures. Lower or higher density of cell structures makes the plant materials softer or more rigid, helping the materials grow with different wood-like characteristics. Whats more, its to be noted that the research process is about 100 times faster than the time it takes for
31、 a tree to grow to maturity!Research of this kind is ground-breaking.“This work demonstrates the great power of a technology,”says lead researcher, Jeffrey Berenstain.“The real opportunity here is to be at its best with what you use and how you use it. This technology can be tuned to meet the requir
32、ements you give about shapes, sizes, rigidity, and forms. It enables us to grow any wooden product in a way that traditional agricultural methods cant achieve.”32. Why do researchers at MIT conduct the research?A. To grow more trees. B. To protect plant diversity.C. To reduce tree losses. D. To pred
33、ict forest disappearance.33. What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about the lab research?A. Its theoretical basis. B. Its key procedures.C. Its scientific evidence. D. Its usual difficulties.34. What does the finding suggest about the plant materials?A. The hormone levels affect their rigidity.B. Th
34、ey are better than naturally grown plants.C. Their cellsshapes mainly rely on their density.D. Their growth speed determines their characteristics.35. Why is the research ground-breaking according to Berenstain?A. It uses new biological materials in lab experiments.B. It revolutionizes the way to ma
35、ke wooden products.C. It challenges traditional scientific theories in forestry.D. It has a significant impact on worldwide plant growth.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。选项中有两项为多余选项。Art comes in two main categories: realistic and abstract.

38、eople. Some people enjoy trying to figure out what the artwork conveys. _39_. Realistic art needs precision in drawing or sculpting to make things look real.Abstract art requires imagination to use shapes and colors in new ways. Many artists are skilled in both. They create realistic pieces to demon
