文章大意：本文是一篇记叙文。作者出生在乡下，对大自然有浓厚的兴趣。他利用大二出国进修的机会去了加拿大，因为他想观看北极光。

【推荐1】Since I was born and brought up in a rural (乡村的) town, I have a great interest in nature. Using the chance of studying abroad in my second year at college, I decided to go to Canada just because I wanted to see the beautiful phenomena there. So after I finished the study abroad program, I went to Yellowknife in the North West Territories.

I clearly remember the sixth night in the Yellowknife. Suddenly my host mother came to my room around 8 p. m. and told me to change clothes and go outside quickly carrying her camera.

The “northern lights” were flickering in the sky! I was astonished and just stood there with my mouth open. I forgot to take pictures of the mysterious lights.

I was so excited that I couldn’t sleep at all that night. Since that night, whenever it was sunny, I went outside at night and looked at the sky. It was so cold that I lost all feelings in my hands and feet. Actually, the time of my being able to be out was limited. I had to bring her camera back to house in one hour at the most, for the camera was going to be broken because of the cold temperature.

As I took the pictures of the northern lights, I came to find a characteristic movement of the lights. They first appear in the north part of the sky and then they gradually come down to the south part of the sky. After that, suddenly, they come in the middle of the north and south only for a while, which is the time when the best northern lights can be seen. Since it is only a few seconds for the northern lights to come down to the middle of the sky, it is very hard to get good pictures.

The stronger the sun acts, the better and stronger the northern lights flicker in the sky. That’s because they occur from the collisions between atmospheric gases and solar wind. Much more solar wind comes to the earth when the sun is active, which leads to the best northern lights. And the colours of the northern lights depend on the height of the collisions and kinds of gases.

1. Why did the author forget to take pictures?
A．It was very cold outside.
B．He was shocked by the wonderful sights.
C．The lights were flickering in the sky.
D．He lost all feelings in his hands and feet.
2. From the passage we can see that ________.
A．the author could stay as long as he liked outside
B．the “northern lights” came out every night
C．the author took a lot of pictures with his camera
D．cameras will be damaged if exposed too long in very cold weather
3. When is the best time to see the “northern lights”?
A．They appear in the north part of the sky.
B．They come down to the south part of the sky.
C．They are in the middle of the north and south.
D．They rise in the east part of the sky.
4. The author found it hard to take good pictures because ________.
A．the lights stayed in the middle for a very short time
B．the lights of the sun affected the “northern lights”
C．the lights were caused by the collisions of gases
D．the colours of the lights are determined by the height

【推荐2】Caves (洞穴) have a primary appeal — they hold the secrets to our past and are mysterious in and of themselves.


● Mammoth Cave

Kentucky, USA

The longest cave system in the world lies beneath the Green River Valley in Kentucky and while over 400 miles of passageways have been mapped, it has yet to be fully discovered. The complex limestone labyrinth (石灰岩迷宫) was discovered by humans 4,000 years ago.


● Blue Grotto

Capri, Italy

Once used as the personal swimming hole for the Roman Emperor Tiberius, this extremely bright sea cave is almost 200 feet long and 82 feet wide. Its unique glow comes from the light entering the small opening to the outside.


● Avshalom Cave Nature Reserve

Beit Shemesh, Israel

Also known as the Soreq Cave Nature Reserve, Avshalom is considered to be the Rosetta Stone of climate history in the Eastern Mediterranean through the packed stalactites (钟乳石) found in the cave, some of which are over 13 feet long, and are as old as 300,000 years.


● Cave of the Crystals

Naica, Mexico

This unique cave system in Mexico contains some of the largest natural crystals (水晶) ever found—the longest of which is 39 feet long and 13 feet thick. However, it is rarely explored due to logistical difficulties: it is extremely hot due to its location above a volcanic vent, and the huge crystals block also block the passage.

1. Where does the longest cave lie in?
A．Kentucky, USA.B．Capri, Italy.
C．Beit Shemesh, Israel.D．Naica, Mexico.
2. Avshalom is famous as           .

【推荐3】Death Valley is one of the most famous deserts in the United States, covering a wide area with its alkali（碱性的）sand. Almost 20 percent of this area is well below sea level, and Badwater, a salt water pool, is about 280 feet below sea level and the lowest point in the United States.

Long ago the Panamint Indians called this place “Tomesha”— the land of fire. Death Valley’s present name dates back to 1849, when a group of miners coming across from Nevada became lost in its unpleasantness and hugeness and their adventure turned out to be a sad story. Today Death Valley has been declared a National Monument(纪念碑) and is crossed by several well-marked roads where good services can be found easily. Luckily the change created by human settlement has hardly ruined the special beauty of this place.

Here nature created a lot of surprising, almost like the sights on the moon, ever-changing as the frequent wind moves the sand about, showing the most unusual colors. One of the most astonishing and variable parts of Death Valley is the Devil’ s Golf Course, where it seems hard for one to tell reality from terrible dreams. Sand sculptures(沙雕) stand on a frightening ground, as evening shadows move and lengthen.

1. _______ is the lowest place in the desert.
A．TomeshaB．Death Valley
C．NevadaD．Badwater
2. The name of the valley comes from _______.
A．an Indian nameB．the death of the miners
C．the local peopleD．a National Movement
3. From the passage we can learn that _______.
A．no one had ever known the desert before the miners
B．it’s still not easy to travel across the desert
C．people can find gas-stations, cafes and hotels in the desert
D．people have changed the natural sight of the desert
4. From the passage we can see that the writer _______ the Death Valley.
A．appreciatesB．is fearful of
C．dislikesD．is tired of
