【題目】Welcome to Olympic National Park!

The park is located in the western state of Washington and it covers more than 400,000 hectares. Each area of the park offers visitors something special. Here are some places to go.

Elwha Valley

The Elwha Valley is in the central part of the park. It is the Olympic Peninsula’s largest watershed (分水嶺). Long ago, the rivers in this area held the most salmon (鮭魚) outside of Alaska. In the 1920s, a growing community of settlers built two hydroelectric (水力發(fā)電) dams to provide energy for the local economy. The dams created many problems for the river. They decreased the water in the rivers, which caused the fish population in the area to decrease. This affected the other animals that depended on fish for food.

The community later decided to take some measures to solve these problems. Today, the Elwha River is the site of one of the largest ecosystem restoration projects in National Park Service history.

Hurricane Ridge

Hurricane Ridge is a mountain area in the northern part of the park. It is easy to enter, and provides incredible views of the Olympic Mountains.

The ridge has many hiking paths. In winter, people come here to ski. They also come here to take part in other fun winter activities, like sledding and snowboarding.

Hurricane Ridge usually has snow from December through the end of March. Visitors must be prepared for icy roads and severe weather.

The Coast

The westernmost part of the park is Pacific coastline. Olympic National Park has many breathtaking beaches.

Rialto Beach is known for its tall seastacks (海蝕柱). These formations are tall towers of rock standing in the sea. Kalaloch Beach is known for its white sand. It also has three national wildlife refuges, which protect the area’s bird and fish species.

The coastline areas offer hiking and camping. They are some of the most popular places in the park.

【題目】The UN has recognized the contributions of volunteers on Dec. 5, International Volunteer Day. Here, the four things are offered to consider before taking the leap into overseas volunteering.

Choose your organization carefully

【1】 volunteering may be a fundraising mechanism(籌資機(jī)制) for a development project. For others, volunteering is fundamental to their programs, and those serving take on professional roles in longer-term development.

【2】

Volunteers want to help and make a difference, but most know this isn’t a purely selfless act. You will learn new skills, broaden your horizons and come to better understand yourself and the world. 【3】 Reflect on your motivations. You want to help reduce global poverty or protect the natural world, but what else? Have you always wanted to travel, but not as a tourist? Work with kids? When you understand your motivations, you’ll be in a better position to choose the option that is right for you.

Work alongside the local community

Often times, travelers volunteer in isolation(隔離) from the local community in which they are working in. 【4】 This enables you to ensure you are committing to a project that promotes long term and sustainable change.

A volunteer trip is just the beginning

【5】 Further ignite(點(diǎn)燃) the global change maker in you by taking your experience one step further when you return home. Spread the message of your transformative experience to others, helping to spark the change within them.

A. And that’s all OK.

B. Know why you’re going.

C. Don’t assume you know it all.

D. Communities always welcome volunteers.

E. Volunteer travel is a life-changing experience.

F. Some organizations require you to pay your own way, and often include a fee.

G. Make sure to travel with organizations that have strong partnerships with local communities.

【題目】根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。
The cultures of the East and the West really distinguish each other a lot.
The origin of the eastern cultures is mainly from two countries: China and India. Both of the two cultures are developed by rivers—the Yellow River in China and the Hindu River in India.
When the two mother rivers gave birth to the Eastern culture, another famous culture was brought up on the Mesopotamian Plain-the Mesopotamian Civilization. This civilization later on developed into the cultures of Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome. Like the Chinese culture, the European culture also crossed waters. When the British settled down in America, their culture went with them over, the Atlantic Ocean. So the American culture doesn’t distinguish from the European culture a lot.
Take the language system for example. In the East, most languages belong to the pictographic language while the Western languages are mostly based on the Latin system. Other causes like human race difference counts as well. But what's more, due to the far distance and the steep areas between the East and West, the two cultures seldom communicate until recent centuries. So they grew up totally in their own ways with almost no-interference (干擾)from the other.
The differences are everywhere. But different cultures make the world of 21st century more colorful. The cultural gap should not be the obstacle to the civilization of human being. It ought to be the motivation of our going farther.

A. Let us work together to keep a variety of culture.
B. One important thing is to learn about other cultures.
C. And these two are well-known as the base of the European culture.
D. At the same time, some other differences add to the cultural differences.
E. This is because the culture systems are two separate systems on the whole.
F. They helped the two cultures develop for centuries and form their own styles.
G. They are obvious and affect people's ways of thinking and their views of the world.

【題目】Ways to Host an Eco-Friendly Cookout

Eating in the open air may feel eco-friendly, but outdoor dining can result in unnecessary waste if you aren’t careful. 【1】. Keep that in mind, you’ll be off to a good start.

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle

Skip the paper invitations and use online services like Email, or Facebook events. 【2】. This way you’ll avoid ending up with five different potato salads that go uneaten. Make it easy for guests to sort garbage by preparing different dustbins: one for kitchen garbage, one for recyclables, and one for non-recyclables.

Stop Using Plastic

Plastic is a leading cause of litter and isn’t easy to recycle. To make sure your cookout eco-friendly, consider some other options for making your cookout stand out. Use recycled jars as glasses. They’re also far less breakable than regular glasses. 【3】. If guests know which glass is theirs, they don’t need to reach for another one, which cuts down on the cleanup you’ll be doing.

【4】

Wherever possible, shop for local produce and goods to serve your guests. This will reduce your carbon footprint and help support your local economy. Buy produce and meats at your local farmers’ market. Look for organic, but favor local over organic if you have to make a choice.

Use Renewable Light Sources

【5】. As the sun goes down, illuminate(照亮) your party space with LED lighting and solar-powered decorations. Invest in some candles and torches to help drive away insects naturally.

A. Support Global Economy

B. Think Globally, Shop Locally

C. Ask guests to bring glasses of their own

D. Keep track of what everyone is bringing ahead of time

E. Save on energy by hosting your party during the daylight hours

F. The key to being eco-friendly is to reduce waste wherever possible

G. Put up some label to the jars so people can write their names on them
