1．Astrotourism：Travel to a place where you can see stars
Few sights are as breathtaking as the night sky full of stars.But you can't get a good view of the stars in cities.Nowadays，increasing numbers of people are participating in astrotourism-traveling to destinations where they can focus on viewing stars，planets and other space-related phenomena.
Star party in Nebraska，USA
In north-central Nebraska，a week-long Star Party has been held annually for almost 30 years.Held at the Merritt Reservoir （水庫），the party features classes teaching beginners about astronomy，along with some programs especially for children.The party features challenges such as a photo contest.During the day，visitors can swim in the reservoir and go fishing and boating.
Jasper National Park，Canada
The second-largest dark sky preserve in the world，Jasper National Park in Alberta，Canada，covers 11，000 square kilometers.In October each year，visitors show up there for the Jasper Dark Sky Festival making Jasper National Park one of Canada's top astrotourism destinations.During the day，visitors can enjoy the beauty of the park's glaciers （冰川），streams，lakes and mountains.
Chile
With an average of 300 nights with clear skies per year，Chile is a great destination for astrotourism.The clear skies mean visitors are very likely to be able to see stars and planets without clouds blocking their view.
Finland
Northern Finland is one of the best places in the world to take in the northern lights.They are usually
green but can be pink and more rarely red and violet.Finland's Lapland region，they are visible 200 nights a year.
Wherever you go，astrotourism provides an opportunity to pause and reflect on the wonders of the universe.

2．I've been writing since before I could write.As a kid，I dictated stories to my parents.About 12 years ago，
I was living in New York City and pursuing a master's degree in creative writing.For years I'd been suffering vision disorder，but in New York my symptoms worsened.I became unable to read or write for any considerable length of time.I tried vision therapy，an overhead projector，a special pair of glasses- all in vain.
Eventually，I discovered a computer program for the visually challenged.As I typed，my words were read aloud by an automated voice.With my screen dimmed （變模糊） to black，I relied entirely on the automated voice to know what I had written.
Facing the blank page is worrying，but facing the black page is worse.The dark screen is a sinkhole that
swallows creative hope.Sentences disappear into it like an astronaut into a black hole.I managed to complete my master's degree，but it took me years to adapt to my new reality.The greatest barrier seemed to be the
automated voice，which was like a robot parrot on my shoulder，and I wanted nothing more than to drive it
away.If a pianist were forced to practice on an untuned piano，would it corrupt his ear over time？
Of course，I could have quit writing and stopped making myself suffer.But it honestly never occurred to
me-and I'm glad it didn't.Last year，after I told my story on the radio，I was contacted by VocaliD，a Massachusetts-based company that created a voice modeled on my own.
The first time I heard the voice they created，it is so close to my own that the two are nearly indistinguishable.I've only just begun using this new voice.My hope is that this will restore a sense of solitude （孤獨(dú)） to my writing process，allowing me easier access to that inner space where the imagination can take over，and I can forget myself，and the real work can begin.
The black screen still exists- it always will- but the robot parrot has taken wing.
（1）What happened to the author when pursuing a master's degree in New York？
A．His sight started to fail due to much reading.
B．His eyes couldn't bear long hours of reading.
C．He had to drop out due to his vision disorder.
D．He successfully overcame his vision problem.
（2）What still bothered the author after he got his master's degree？
A．The untuned automated voice.
B．The pet parrot on his shoulder.
C．The computer with a dark screen.
D．The noise from a neighboring pianist.
（3）How did the author feel when first hearing the voice created by VocaliD？
A．Relaxed.
B．Annoyed.
C．Unmoved.
D．Excited.
（4）What can we infer from the last paragraph？
A．The automated voice is too annoying to bear.
B．The author can restore his sight to normal.
C．The author starts to enjoy his writing again.
D．It is likely that the technology will improve.組卷：7引用：1難度：0.5 -
3．Noise created by humans，such as car traffic，quieted by about 30% between late March and early May，2020，when Governor Greg Abbott closed schools and restaurants across Texas，according to analysis by researchers at Southern Methodist University （SMU）.
"There was quite a big change in some areas，" said Stephen Arrowsmith，a seismologist at SMU，who took on the project with a class of undergraduate and graduate students.Arrowsmith and his students looked at data from a dozen seismometers （地震儀） across North Texas.Seismometers are used to detect earthquakes，but they are sensitive to just about everything that makes the ground vibrate，such as strong winds，ocean waves，construction and traffic.
The idea of using seismometers to track urban noise gained popularity last March when Belgian seismologist Thomas Lecocq posted some of his urban noise data from Brussels on Twitter.Lecocq，of the Royal Observatory of Belgium，received such an enthusiastic response from scientists that he launched the group "Lockdown Seismology" online. "It's where bored seismologists around the world are working together，" Arrowsmith joked.
Arrowsmith hopes his findings will contribute to a growing list of creative ways in which researchers are using seismometers.In his course，Arrowsmith teaches students how seismic stations can help investigators solve crimes，like terrorist bombings，aid scientists in tracking nuclear tests or assist inspectors in investigating accidents，like chemical plant explosions.One potential application of his research is to better understand the shallow layers of Earth beneath cities. "That could be useful in places where there's a real seismic hazard （風(fēng)險(xiǎn)），like San Francisco or Los Angeles，" he said， "where just knowing what that shallow structure is tells you a lot about how it would respond in a big earthquake."
（1）How do the researchers obtain the data of noise in Texas？
A．By observing car traffic.
B．By surveying their students.
C．By consulting the governor.
D．By employing seismometers.
（2）What does the underlined word "vibrate" in paragraph 2 probably mean？
A．Break.
B．Freeze.
C．Shake.
D．Dry.
（3）What is a direct result of Lecocq's posting some of his urban noise data？
A．Seismologists are attracted.
B．Earthquake detection is improved.
C．Urban noise is reduced.
D．Crime investigation is simplified.
（4）What does the last paragraph mainly talk about concerning the seismometer？
A．Its possible risks.
B．Its potential applications.
C．Its appeal to the public.
D．Its market value.組卷：7引用：1難度：0.5

9．Be a true runner For me，it was normal to feel lost at the inter-camp track.Four camps of kids were ready to lead their teams to a blue ribbon and win the day.Not me.I was too little to be the leader and too skinny to be an athlete.I knew this by the time I was twelve，because my camp counselors（輔導(dǎo)員）and the other kids reminded me of it every chance they got.So when our camp needed a fourth runner in the two-mile race around the lake，I knew I was no one's first choice.
I hid in the shade of a maple tree as they called the names of the runners，my body tensed as I heard a counselor call， "Fred!Where is Fred!He is in this race!" It was Barry.He spotted me under the tree. "Fred!We need a 12-year-old who hasn't been in other events to run the two-mile!"
He gave me a push towards the starting line.Having no confidence and trying to save myself from the shame of taking the last place as four camps watched，I pleaded with him.
"But I don't know the way around the lake!"
"You're in.Just follow Bill!" Barry smiled.
Bill was my friend and the fastest runner in our camp.And then Barry said， "When you make it to the last stretch（最后一程）on the field，just throw your head back and run."
At the starting line，I stood next to Bill and trembled.
"On your mark…Get set..." The gun cracked and sixteen of us took off.I stayed close on Bill's heels，a little too close for Bill，I guess.He shouted at me， "Back off!"
I did.Two guys passed me，but I kept my eyes on Bill.
It was tiring.The distance was widening between Bill and me.We made the turn from the dusty road onto
the muddy，wooded trail that would go around the lake back to the field.Through the trees，I saw Bill trip over a tree root and fall.A runner from another camp passed him.

1.續(xù)寫詞數(shù)應(yīng)為 150 左右；
2.請按如下格式在答題卡的相應(yīng)位置作答。
