A Practical Guide to Stargazing
The growing trend of astrotourism continues to draw new travellers to the wonders of the
night sky in places where the stars shine bright. Here's everything you need to know to plan a trip.
When and Where to Go Stargazing
Winter is the best time of year for stargazers to admire fantastic starry sky due to longer hours
of darkness, and the air tends to be clearer (astronomers call this good seeing’). A good resource for
choosing a destination is DarkSky International’ s certified list of Dark Sky Places, while its
DarkSky Approved Lodging recommends stargazer-friendly accommodation. And
Lightpollutionmap. info provides a light pollution map, using satellite data of artificial light at night
to show the darkest areas.
What to Bring on a Stargazing Trip
Night-time temperatures can drop significantly, especially in desert or mountain locations.
Dress in layers and bring a good pair of finger-flap gloves and a hat, even in warmer climates.
Though your eyes are all you really need, binoculars on a tripod(三角架) can be surprisingly
effective and cost-friendly for observing nearbv objects like our moon— and the rings of Saturn (土
星). There are a range of apps, like SkyView or Stellarium, to help you identify stars and planets by
pointing your phone at the sky.
Dark Sky Etiquette (礼仪)
Be respectful of other stargazers by using only red torch lights, which preserve our night
vision and protect wildlife. Don't shine torches or phone screens at others— it can take 20 minutes
for your eyes to re-adjust to the darkness after exposure to light.
21. What is paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. Improper time to see stars.
3B. Some of the best destinations.
C. Platforms to choose stargazing sites.
D. New technology for observing the sky.
22. Which is NOT recommended in paragraph 3?
A. Warm clothes. B. Observing devices.
C. The latest equipment. D. Professional applications.
23. What should a welcomed stargazer do?
A. Be polite to people around.
B. Restrict lighting to a specific kind.
C. Don't disturb others to show respect.
D. Help those with poor eyesight readily.

J Before that summer, I often felt distant from my dad. He had a keen interest in technology as
a risk management analyst. Meanwhile, I only valued computers to the extent that they provided
Internet access. He spent his career making recommendations in uncertain circumstances, while
I was always in trouble making decisions.
To feel closer to my dad, I once embraced his skiing hobby. On weekend trips, I closely
followed him down snow-covered mountains, trying hard to fit my skis within his tracks. My
enthusiasm had a performative aspect, though, because I couldn't grasp anything else.
Still, despite our differences, I valued his insight. Before high school graduation, I was
recommended to choose journalism as my major by the school adviser, who thought I had a talent
in shaping feelings and ideas into words. Concerned that writing didn't seem practical as a career
option, I consulted my dad. He confirmed my hunch(直觉), saying, “Do something with a stable
income to support yourself.”
I took his suggestion to heart and changed my college application. However, as I did, I felt
something break loose inside me. I buried the feeling, but I couldn't stop thinking that I had made
a mistake. I knew I wanted to write since I was six— why had I thrown my dream away?
After my first year of teaching, I visited my parents, feeling lost, meanwhile, angry and
regretful. One night that August, I told him my dilemma. “I guess I should have studied what I
loved, ” I said desperately. He just looked at me, his expression sincere, and said, “If you switch
careers, I' ll support you fully! My role is supporting you to do what you want.”
I sat back, stricken with a realization: If I had stuck to writing years before, maybe he would
have supported me toward journalism. I' ll never know, but I now realize that it is unrealistic for
parents to provide perfect advice all the time. Instead, I can expect that everything my dad says is
well-intentioned and then make my own decisions, knowing best what's in my heart.
24. Why did the author not feel close to her father?
A. They seldom stayed together.
B. They could hardly reach agreements.
C. They were different in many aspects.
4D. They sometimes misunderstood each other.
25. What does the author's skiing experience indicate?
A. Her attempt to follow her father.
B. Her father's unrealistic expectation.
C. Her courage to challenge her father.
D. Her father's ignorance of her real passion.
26. What caused the author to turn to her father about college application?
A. Her father's rich experience. B. Her father's adventurous spirit.
C. Her awareness of a stable career. D. Her hesitation before a decision.
27. What can be inferred about the author from the last paragraph?
A. She had a better understanding of her father.
B. She would lead a completely independent life.
C. She realized her father was not a perfect parent.
D. She would shift her career and become a great writer.
C
Returning to the gym for the first time after a pause can be an awkward experience, your
shoulders quaking and muscles trembling. However, discontinuous workout may not ultimately end
up with weakened muscles, thanks to a phenomenon known as muscle memory. You might associate
the term with the idea that you can jump back on a bike after years of not riding one, or undertake
other previously-learned activities that involve motor skills and almost instinctively(本能的)
remember how.
This brain-muscle connection is undoubtedly part of the story, but many exercise scientists
have realized muscle memory is more than neuromuscular (神经肌肉的) conditioning. Changes
deep inside our thread-like muscle cells may also explain why previously trained muscles grow back
more quickly after taking up exercise again.
Eeli Halonen, a competitive bodybuilder and doctoral student in exercise physiology at the
University of Jyvaskyla in Finland, recalls the muscle mass he lost after a long break from training.
What surprised him was the speed at which he regained his strength. To discover more about muscle
recovery, Halonen conducted a controlled trial with his team. Half of over 40 untrained individuals
were required to follow a 20-week workout program continuously for 20 weeks, while the other half
split their training into two 10-week sessions with a 10-week break in between. During their break,
participants experienced“significant” decreases in muscle size and, to a lesser extent, strength.
However, it took only five weeks of retraining for them to return to their previous levels.
“It's a positive finding for those who need to take time off for whatever reason; you can rest
assured that your muscles will readapt quite readily. People tend to overestimate how much exercise
is needed to maintain muscle mass. The good news is that“A little bit of exercise can go a pretty
long way in maintaining function and size,” says Halonen.
28. Which statement about“muscle memory” is correct?
A. It prevents muscles growth.
B. It is the core of a new concept.
C. Its another function has been found.
D. Its connection with motor skills proves a mistake.
29. What motivated Halonen to carry out the controlled trail?
5A. His favorite sport. B. His own experience.
C. His desire to be stronger. D. His academic requirement.
30. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. It is important to take a rest to keep fit.
B. A little of exercise can hardly be beneficial.
C. Don't worry too much about interrupted workout.
D. The longer time you rest, the more quickly muscle recovers.
31. Which is the best title of the passage?
A. Less is more B. Restart, regain
C. Pausing is reducing D. Once start, never stop
D
Over the next 20 years, the U. S. aims to plant billions more trees to restore forests after
wildfires for the sake of ecosystem, but the nation's ambitious tree- planting goals aren't achievable,
unless there are really big ways about seed.
That's partly because of irregular reproduction(繁殖) schedules. As part of a species’ survival
strategy, the abundance of the seeds varies by year. Seeds are energy-intensive for trees to produce,
and after several low-seed years there may be a sudden oversupply. As a result, a good seed crop
happens only once every three to seven years, depending on the plant species. So 2020 was a good
Douglas fir(黄杉) year; noble fir (冷杉) was big in 2016. Therefore, timing is everything. It's often
difficult to find the right seed for a specific landscape— whether it's the type, quantity, or quality.
And it's even harder when there's a need to move quickly, such as after a natural disaster.
Besides, mass experienced seed collectors are in great need. Matthew Aghai, senior director
of biological research and development at the Seattle-based reforestation company, is one of those
with awareness of seed crisis. Recently, he has been enthusiastically learning traditional gathering
skills from Grandortt, The latter was taught, 45 years ago, how to read the forest by his parents,
who were part of a former huge network of cone (球果) collectors, In the past few decades,
however, the number of skilled seed collectors in the U. S. has been declining, though it's not clear
by how much, since the poorly= paid work is seasonal, As a consequence, fewer collectors means
fewer seeds, and ultimately, trees,
There is another challenge, too. The government estimates that 100 million acres of public
land need restoring. But there aren't enough facilities to store the estimated billion pounds of plant
seeds it would take to do that. According to a report from Bureau of Land Management(BLM) in
October, 2020, at the federal level, from trees to wild grasses, the BLM has“a total storage capacity
for 2.6 million pounds of seeds”. In a bad fire year, though, the BLM needs over seven million
pounds of seeds to restore the burned landscape.
32. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Starting earlier to get more seeds. B. Quick collection at the right time.
C. Collecting some seeds every year. D. Taking action as quickly as possible.
33. What can be learned from paragraph 3?
A. Grandorff learned seed gathering in school.
B. Gathering seeds used to be a well-paid job.
C. More people like Matthew are saving trees.
6D. Skilled seed collectors are becoming less.
34. What is a possible cause of seed shortage?
A. Fewer survival species. B. Unreasonable demand in amount.
C. Slow reaction to natural disasters. D. Unstable reproduction of seeds.
35. What did the BLM report reveal?
A. Inadequate storage capacity. B. An incorrect official statistic.
C. Inefficient storage methods. D. The endangered ecosystem.

Remember The Titans is a sports movie that doesn't even seem like it's about sports.
The film itself was an inspiring story. 36 . The movie's writer Gregory Allen Howard
was rejected from every cinema because no one was willing to publish the movie with a
controversial topic until, through lots of struggles, the movie was adapted by Disney.
As a matter of fact, Remember The Titans is one of those rare films with diverse
extraordinary features. It is part heartwarming drama, part true story, part action. All of this is mixed
with an impressive soundtrack (电影配音). 37 While you' re watching, the film takes your
emotions on a roller coaster. It is more than movie actually. You become a part of it as it becomes a
part of you, for the movie shows the common potential of the human courage and spirit.
38 No matter where we are in life, we, like Coach Boone and Coach Bill, have to go
through unexpected turns, challenges, and transformations. Don't stay in our comfort zones, and
refuse to get out of the bubble. 39 Take a leaf out of Coach Boone's book and embrace the
variation. You will find things start working out for you from the moment.
40 We are sometimes convinced it is better to just focus on the future. However, it is also
equally important to remember our starting points and acknowledge how far we have come. Doing
so strengthens us and makes us appreciate our struggles.
A. Don't complain about it, either.
B. But its uniqueness is far beyond this
C. It is our nature not to welcome change.
D. In the race of life, don't forget our roots.
E Life is a dynamic journey filled with changes.
F. Its access to an instant classic was not an easy one.
G. But it was an impossible task to actually release the movie.

Lost Silk Road Cities Were Just Discovered with Groundbreaking Tech
Large urban centers have historically been uncommon in high-altitude regions. The most
famous examples— Machu Picchu, Cusco, and Lhasa— are often viewed 56 exceptions of
human persistence in extreme conditions. However, researchers have found ancient cities that lay
hidden for centuries at op mountains, 57 (provide) new insights into life along the Silk Road, the
vast network of ancient trade routes that connected Europe and Eastern Asia between the 6th and11th
centuries. This changes 58 we thought we knew because the remains of old cities 59 (discover)
in a place where few expected to find signs of ancient civilizations.
The groundbreaking research casts new light on the well-developed societies along the Silk
Road. These old cities feature multiple structures and urban designs, 60 (obvious) making the
most of its geographic characteristics. The 61 (ruin) of one city, Tugunbulak, cover nearly 300
acres, making 62 one of the largest regional settlements of its time. The high-resolution Lidar(激
光雷达) images offer detailed views of the houses, squares, defenses, and roads that 63 (shape)
the lives and economies of these highland communities. High-tech allows us 64 (approach) this
huge landscape and appreciate the scope and scale of the place, with astonishing details.
It used to be hard to spot cities of this size existing in an extreme environment, 65 made
large-scale farming nearly impossible at such high altitudes—a fact that may explain why historians
and archaeologists mostly overlooked this remote region for so long.

Carol Ansbro, Marion Bamforth, Susan Morris, and Mary Helliwell have been good friends
since primary school. They had countless happy hours together, exploring the vast playground,
dreaming big, and whispering secrets under the blanket of night. Each weekend, they gathered at
Carol's home, making plans for the next week, looking forward to more excitements and
surprises.
At seventeen, their friendship blossomed further during a summer trip to the seaside town
of Torquay, Devon. As teenagers, the group stayed and soaked in the excitement of being on their
own for the first time. It felt really fantastic and grown-up being on their own without parents. The
sea breeze carried their giggles, and under the starlit(星光照耀的) sky, they promised to always
stand by each other for ever. One day, a photographer happened to notice them and took a photo
of them. So in blue jeans and white shirts—a common sight of teenage girls at tourist destinations
in those days, each girl had a precious picture in the year of1972.
Following high school, life presented crossroads. Carol moved to Edinburgh for her art
studies, Marion pursued medicine in Manchester: Susan ventured into engineering in Bristol, and
Mary sailed off to Oxford for law. Distance stretched across miles, yet they had alternatives to stay
together. Emails, calls and visits bridged the gaps created by geography. So, despite varied
lifestyles and responsibilities, they prioritized reunions, whether virtual or in person, cherishing
the moments they shared.
Fast forward to 50 years later, Carol, the eldest of the four, who was always considerate and
thoughtful, thought they should do something to celebrate their everlasting friendship. However,
things were not easy as she had expected. Worried, she was at a loss where to start. But to her great
joy, her grandson, Mike, who was having a summer break, volunteered to help her after hearing
the story with her lifelong friends. The first thing he did was to look over his grandma's old stuff.

1.续写词数应为150个左右；
