1. From a multi-day hike following the routes of a Japanese poet,to a classic climb in the Argentinian Lake District,there are thousands of incredible trails (小路) that allow us to get up close to nature.
Appalachian Trail,United States
Extending for 2,200 miles,the Appalachian Trail is listed as the longest hiking-only footpath in the world.It runs from Springier Mountain in Georgia to Mount Katahdin in Maine,passing through some of the most remote country in the United States.That means it's a hard task,either for those with endless vacation allowance,or walkers looking to do a small piece of a classic route.
The Basho Wayfarer,Japan
This self-guided trip follows a route taken by the poet Matsuo Basho over 300 years ago.The six-day hike starts in Sendai and works its way through the northern Tohoku region,passing through the UNESCO World Heritage (遺產(chǎn))Site of Hiraizumi and along the ancient Dewa Kaido path.With its beech and cherry forests,it finishes at the temple of Yamadera.
Mount Toubkal,Morocco
The path upwards rises from the village of Imlil,passing over a dry river bed before rising sharply through a temple and on towards a large mountain cottage.After overnight here,hikers set off up the snowfield to the peak,where the Atlas Mountains open out and the views are breathtaking.A local guide and muleteers for carrying luggage are a must.
The Dingle Way,Ireland
It is a ring-like path that offers the best way to get under the skin of wild County Kerry in Ireland's south west.Starting in the town of Tralee,the clockwise path follows narrow roads,taking in the wide sweep of sand at Inch Strand,passing along the clifftops outside Dingle town and heading around the edge of Mount Brardon,the highest peak on the Dingle Peninsula.

3. Crossing Phoenix,Arizona,are 180 miles of canals.In 1867,the city's founding father,Jack Swilling saw the remains of irrigation (灌溉) channels wandering across the landscape.He realized that,centuries before,some society had farmed this desert.Soon after,Swilling began clearing the blocked canals to bring agriculture back to the region.
Three years later,Swilling and other pioneers met to consider names for their settlement.The top two were Pumpkinville and Stonewall.Luckily,English adventurer Darrell Duppa proposed a name inspired by the resurrection (復(fù)興) of the canals. "A great race once lived here and another great race will live here in the future," he considered. "I predict that a new city will spring,phoenix-like,from the ruins and ashes of the old."
Gary Huckleberry,a researcher,said, "In the southwest,we have some serious issues to deal with in terms of water.The Colorado River is the main source of water for the southwest and it's over distributed.We've got population growth and climate change.How are we going to deal with that?I think there's something to be learned by looking at past societies who managed water for thousands of years."
That great society was the Hohokam.Between 100 and 1450 AD,they constructed 1,000 miles of canals.As the Hohokam expanded their network,they constantly repaired,cleaned and diverted the canals. "It requires cooperation,because all the users of the water from that canal have to agree not only to construct it,but also to maintain it," Henderson,a scientist,said. "Users would have to agree to certain conditions to keep the entire system going." The Hohokam committed to sharing water and put themselves on timetables.
The Hohokam used canal irrigation for 3,000 years. "That,to me,is the definition of sustainable development," Huckleberry said. "They learned how to sustainably farm,to manage water,to not destroy their soils in a way that is worthy and might give us insight into how we might deal with the current trouble.I think one of the key lessons is that you don't put all your eggs in one basket."
(1)What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?
A.The reconstruction of canals.
B.The origin of the city's name Phoenix.
C.The discovery of the irrigation channels.
D.The agricultural development in the settlement.
(2)What does the underlined word "that" in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A.The source of water.
B.The climate change.
C.The population growth.
D.The over-distribution of water.
(3)What does Henderson say about the Hohokam?
A.They were expert in farming.
B.They were poor at time management.
C.They had a strong sense of team spirit.
D.They fought for their rights to use water.
(4)Which of the following would Huckleberry agree with?
A.Canal irrigation is out of date.
B.Sustainable development matters.
C.Farming can solve current trouble.
D.The loss of soils is worse than before.組卷:5引用:2難度:0.7

9.閱讀下面材料,根據(jù)其內(nèi)容和所給段落開(kāi)頭語(yǔ)續(xù)寫(xiě)兩段,使之構(gòu)成一篇完整的短文。
December 1952 in Wisconsin was bitterly cold.A curious 7-year-old,I was in hesitation when my father arrived home from work with something hidden in his jacket. "Guess what I have," he said.He slowly unwrapped the jacket to take out a frozen owl (貓頭鷹).He'd found the frozen bird on his car when he left work and guessed that it had flown into the windshield (擋風(fēng)玻璃).
Dad thought it might be alive and wanted to let it warm up.My mother agreed to let the bird stay overnight,so Dad and I took it to the basement( 地下室) and carefully laid it near our coal stove.I was the first one into the kitchen the next morning for a bowl of cereal (麥片).I found the owl resting on the sugar bowl as if waiting for its breakfast.I hurried to tell my parents that the owl was alive and sitting at the kitchen table.Mom didn't like that it was in the kitchen and wanted it out of the house.
Dad instructed me to open the back door while he forced the owl toward me.I heard the flapping of wings,but before I could direct its flight outside,the owl turned around away from the cold air coming in the door and flew past me,down the stairs into the shelter of the warm basement.Resting in the space near the top of the basement,the owl was safely beyond our reach.We tried driving it out with a broom,but it calmly flew to the far side of the basement.Soon Dad and I were laughing too hard to continue,and we realized there was no way we could drive the owl out if it wanted to stay.Mom agreed to have it in the house until Dad could catch it when it became weak from hunger.But that never happened.
注意:
(1)續(xù)寫(xiě)詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150左右;
(2)請(qǐng)按如下格式在答題卡的相應(yīng)位置作答。
The door didn't shut properly,which allowed mice into the basement.
As spring arrived,we knew it was time for the owl to leave.組卷:6引用:2難度:0.3
