I’m writing to tell you our plan to visit Mount Huangshan. I’d be very happy to accompany you to go here. Mount Huangshan, locating in southern Anhui Province, famous for its fantastic scenery. Mount Huangshan has more famous scenic attractions than many another mountains in China. It is wide known for the beautifully-shaped pine tree, clouds and rocks. The hot springs, that come out from deep underground, are suitable to bathe in and even to drink. As it was often cloudy and rainy on the mountain, it would be better to bring a raincoat and wear the suitable pair of shoes. Let’s meet at 7:40 at the school gate on this Saturday morning. Looking forward to seeing you.

2 . 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

Yuan Longping (1930-2021) was a pioneer for all people.    1    he was one of China's most famous scientist, Yuan Longping considered himself a farmer. Indeed, his sunburnt face and arms and his slim, strong body were just like those of millions of Chinese farmers, for    2    he had struggled for decades. Dr Yuan Longping developed super hybrid rice. In 1974, he became    3    first agricultural pioneer in the world    4    (grow) rice with a high output. Now more than 60% of the rice    5    (produce) in China each year is from this hybrid strain.

Dr Yuan graduated from Southwest Agricultural College in 1953. As a young man, he saw the great need for increasing the rice output. At that time, hunger was a    6    (disturb) problem in many parts of the countryside. Dr Yuan searched for a way to increase rice harvests    7    expanding the area of the fields. In1950, Chinese farmers could produce only fifty million tons of rice. In a recent harvest, however, nearly two hundred million tons of rice was produced. These increased harvests mean that 22% of the world's people    8    (feed) from just 7% of the farmland in China.

Dr Yuan was quite satisfied with his life. However, he didn’t care about being famous. Long ago, Dr Yuan had a dream about rice plants with the     9    (high) of sorghum. Many years later, he had    10    dream to export his rice to other countries.

4 . Beijing will provide COVID-19 vaccinations (接种疫苗) for certain groups in nursing homes, including the elderly and caregivers, on a voluntary basis to prevent a renewed outbreak at nursing homes during autumn and winter, the local government said.

Those who will receive the vaccines include nursing home kitchen workers, security guards and cleaners, Beijing Daily reported on Friday.

Xing Yinli, director of Jingkangyuan, a nursing home in Fengtai district with about 290 elderly residents (居民), said they have received the document (文件) recently and will strictly follow its guidance.

“It’s our top duty to strengthen prevention and control,” Xing said, adding they have been using methods such as keeping detailed records of resident contacts outside the nursing home, and encouraging online visits for family members.

As to vaccinations, she said they will ask for permission from residents, their family members and workers before giving vaccines.

In late October, Shaoxing, Zhejiang Province carried out an emergency COVID-19 vaccine program, allowing the public to ask for injections (注射) in advance, with key groups first. A similar program was also organized in Jiaxing, Ningbo and Yiwu in Zhejiang.

Nationwide, emergency use of home-grown COVID-19 vaccines was approved in June and launched in late July. China now has four coronavirus candidate vaccines in the third stage clinical trials (临床试验).

The document from Beijing also said nursing homes should conduct nucleic acid testing (核酸检测) every month among kitchen workers and residents who leave the nursing homes to see a doctor. Tests will cover all people in nursing homes considered at high risk if new infections are reported in the city. Besides, routine disinfections (消毒) should be strengthened in kitchens, storerooms and restrooms, it said. The document also recommended non-contact visits from family members.

5 . This year, most people have probably spent more of 2020 canceling travel plans than booking them, but it’s not too late to reverse that trend. Here are some vacations you can plan this fall.

Road trip to a local farm

Visiting a farm is “number one” travel pick right now. Price plays a big role in that suggestion. Apple picking, for example, is usually very affordable, with some orchards (果园) offering products by the pound, for $1 or $2, and others offering a flat fee for an all-you-can fill bag for about $30.

Visit a national park

There are 421 national parks in the U.S., so odds are you’ve got one in driving range. If you’re up for a challenge, you can climb the Half Dome in Yosemite or race down the great sand dunes in Colorado. The parks are also affordable. An annual pass, which guarantees entry to every park for an entire family, is just $80.

Plan a camping trip

It doesn’t cost much more than camping. Most states have dozens of drive-in camp sites, while you can also find cabins in the $50-$100 per night range. There’s no shortage of activities, either — whether it’s fishing, hiking, biking or just perfecting your camping recipe.

Rent an RV (露营车，房车)

RVs are a prime option for a cheap vacation. Using an RV for a vacation means you’re paying for your transportation and lodging all in one. Also, considering that some two-person RVs can go for as little as $175-$200 per night, you can easily find yourself traveling around the country without breaking the bank.

1. Which vacation would a thrill seeker most probably choose?

7 . When we come home from a long day at school, our clogs are so happy to see us. Their faces look happy, with mouths wide open.     1    

It's probably not an illusion(错觉）at all. In fact, two centuries of modern science has good evidence that humans and animals share emotions—including the kind of emotion that results in laughter.

US animal behaviorist Patricia Simonet carried out research on a special sound that dogs make when they play.     2    . It is quite different from other dog sounds like whining（哀鸣）and growling（咆哮）.Simonet believed it is laughter.

Even other dogs seem to recognize and associate the “laugh" with pleasure.     3     when Simonet played the laughter to other dogs, reported ABC News.

It might not surprise us that dogs—our traditional “best friends”—like to laugh. But other research suggests that creatures? like rats, also laugh.

Estonian researcher Jaak Panksepp did experiments on rats.    4    . When Panksepp tickled his rats on the neck, they made a chirping（唧唧声）sound, which the scientist believed was laughter. The rats liked the tickling so much, he reported, that they sought more of it. According to Scientific American , Panksepp's rats would follow his finger around to make him tickle them again.

While studies have shown that dogs and rats “laugh“ when they play? it doesn't mean that all animals really laugh even if they make a laughter-like sound.

Take hyenas（土狼）for example. The hyena is well known for making a noise that sounds like a person laughing loudly. But studies show the hyenas don't make the noise because they think something is funny.     5    

But make no mistake? when your dog welcomes you home, it's definitely laughing.

A．You can make your dog laugh at times

B．Laughter can relieve their nervousness

C．He found that they had a sense of humor and fun

D．The sound is a “forced, breathy exhalation（呼气）”

E．We've all wondered whether our dogs are smiling at us

F．Some would seek out toys and others would run toward the source

G．The “laughing“ is actually a noise they make when they are excited or frightened

8 . Ride-sharing services are thought to help to reduce pollution since fewer people use private vehicles and cause carbon dioxide．However, a new study has found that these services result in much more pollution than other kinds of private and public transportation．Ride-sharing trips also draw passengers away from more environmentally-friendly methods of travel, like public transportation, walking or biking, the study found．

Several studies in recent years have suggested that ride-sharing services like Uber and Lyft can worsen traffic problems in cities, which continue to have high rates of private vehicle ownership．

The new study, carried out by the nonprofit group Union of Concerned Scientists, represents an attempt to center on how ride-sharing services affect pollution．The research examined the effects of ride-sharing services on seven of America's largest cities．Overall, the researchers reported that ride-sharing trips now “result in about 69 percent more climate pollution on average than the trips they replace”．The study notes that the same passengers could have chosen to travel by bus, train, bike, scooter(小型摩托车)or on foot．

One of the big reasons they give for this result is that ride-sharing vehicles are often driven with no passengers in the car．This happens when drivers are either waiting for rider requests, are on the way to pick up passengers or are driving between pickups．

This situation, known as“deadheading” takes up about 42 percent of the ride-sharing driving activity, the study found．The researchers said that “deadheading” results in about 50 percent more carbon dioxide than one person driving in a private vehicle．

The study urges services like Uber and Lyft to increase the number of electric vehicles on the road and to improve connections to public transportation centers．The two companies already operate businesses that offer electric scooters and bikes and have begun to include public transportation information in their systems．In some cities, they have also promoted vehicle electrification．

1. According to the text, it is generally thought that car-sharing services _____________．

A．lower the price of private cars	B．guarantee a healthier lifestyle

2. What is the biggest cause of more ride-sharing pollution?

A．The so-called “deadheading”．	B．The old way vehicles travel．
C．The huge number of passengers．	D．The unfamiliar ride-sharing trips．

3. What can we say about the study?

A．It is opposed by ride-sharing services．	B．It is actually of practical significance．
C．It requires improving in the long term．	D．It earns much money for Uber and Lyft．

4. From which part of a newspaper is the text most probably taken?

A．Travel．

9 . A study has found that a lifetime of regular exercise and activity can slow down the aging process (衰老过程). Researchers say that getting older should not necessarily mean becoming more weak or sick. Their research shows that a devotion to a life of movement and exercise may help us live not only longer, but also healthier.

For their study, the researchers looked at two groups. The first group was made up of 125 non-professional cyclists between the ages of 55 to 79. This group included 84 healthy men and 41 healthy women. We will call this group the “cyclists”.

Researchers then found 130 people to make up a second group. Within this group, 75 people were aged from 57 to 80. The other 55 were between the ages of 20 and 36. The people in this group were also healthy, but they did not exercise regularly. We will call this group the “non-exercisers”. Smokers, heavy drinkers of alcohol and people with other health issues were not included in the study.

Then, researchers gave both groups a series of tests. They tested their muscle mass (肌肉质量), muscular strength, percentage of body fat and the strength of their immune (免疫的) systems. Then the researchers compared the results of the two groups.

Results showed that the cyclists did not experience body changes usually regarded as a normal aging process. For example, they did not lose muscle mass or muscular strength. Also, their body fat did not increase with age.

The researchers also found something they had not expected. The study showed that the immune systems of the cyclists did not age either.

The researchers advise us all to find an exercise that we like in our lives.

1. How did the researchers carry out the study?

A．By comparing.	B．By discussing.

B．The non-exercisers gained weight easily.

C．The cyclists’ muscles remained strong with age.

D．The non-exercisers usually had health problems.

3. Which is an unexpected result for the researchers?

A．The cyclists had normal aging process.

B．The cyclists’ immune systems didn’t age.

C．The cyclists lost nearly all their fat.

D．Everyone needed an exercise in their lives.

4. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

A．Healthy People Need More Exercise

B．Take an Exercise, the Harder, the Better

C．Cycling Is the Best Way to Prevent Aging

D．A Lifetime of Exercise Slows Aging Process
