Consider the Grand Canyon your hiking paradise. With miles of caves to explore, more than 1,500 unique plant types to discover and 300 species of birds to spy, the canyon offers incredible hikes with excitement at every switchback（之字线）.
Bright Angel Trail: 19 Miles（Round Trip）
This comfortable and safe two — day trip will take hikers through the lush green Garden Creek, and down a challenging set of switchbacks known as the Devil Corkscrew before finally reaching the Inner Gorge. Note that the National Park Service does not recommend hiking in and out of the canyon in one day. If you're looking for a day hike, descend just to Indian Garden or Plateau Point.
South Kaibab Trail： 12. 6 Miles（Round Trip）
Shorter than the Bright Angel Trail, the South Kaibab Trail offers hikers fantastic views of the canyon. If you're just out for the day, Cedar Ridge is your cue to turn back toward the rim— at this point, the trail starts a steep descent to Skeleton Point, where you can catch your first glimpse of the Colorado River. From there the hike continues along the Tonto Trail to Tipoff, and over the narrow 400-foot Kaibab Suspension Bridge before finally ending at Phantom Ranch.
North Kaibab Trail： 14. 5 Miles（Round Trip）
This North Rim hike is a challenging two — day trek from rim to river and back again. The trail begins by descending into Roaring Springs Canyon—your turnaround point if taking a day trip— before continuing through the brief Supai Tunnel and on into the canyon's striking Supai Sand- stone layer. From there, the trail takes hikers over Redwall Bridge, past Roaring Springs and Ribbon Falls before ending at Phantom Ranch.
Hualapai Trail： 8 Miles
Off the beaten path but unbelievably beautiful, the Hualapai Trail from Hualapai Hilltop to the village of Supai makes for a comfortable day hike through Havasu Canyon, at the heart of the Havasupai Reservation, where you'll spy the double-cascading Havasu Falls. The round-trip hike can be done in a day.
21. Where can you enjoy the view of the Colorado River?
A. Cedar Ridge. B. Skeleton Point.
C. Tipoff. D. Kaibab Suspension Bridge.
22. If you turn around at Roaring Springs Canyon, you'll .
A. miss Supai Sandstone layer B. go through the brief Supai Tunnel
C. go over Redwall Bridge D. pass Redwall Bridge
23. South Kaibab Trail and North Kaibab Trail are similar in that .
A. they take the same time B. they go along the same route
C. they end at the same place D. they take hikers near waterfalls

Around the third week of August, millions of western toadlets（幼蟾）begin their migration from the shores of British Columbians Summit Lake to their destination in an upland habitat. And every year the tiny creatures, about the size of a dime, get squashed as they cross Highway 6.
It is bad for the highway, which becomes dangerously slick. It is even worse for the tondiets, who are on the federal “species of special concern" list and on the provincial blue list. Both lists are for animals edging toward extinction. In fact, western toads have disappeared from some parts of the U. S. and the south coast of B. C.
The Summit Lake toadlets have to make the dangerous trip in order to find forage（食料）. They eat their way to adulthood and then, the next spring, they make their way back to the lake to lay eggs. That it is a hazardous trek as well, but the August migration comes during peak tour ist season, when there is lots of traffic along one stretch of their route.
In 2019 the BC Ministry of Environment and the Ministry of Highway put in fences and dug culverts to guide the little creatures to a safer route, but not all toadlets understood the gesture. They kept finding their way to the highway and kept getting killed.
So the Fish and Wildfire Compensation Program(established in 1995 to offset damage from BC Hydro's dams in the Columbia Basin)stepped in with Toadfest, inviting volunteers to walk, gingerly among the toads, gently gather them and carry them to safety on the upland side of the highway.
This is the fourth year for Toadfest, which not only helps some of the tiny toads across the dangerous road but also raises awareness about the life cycles of the toads and other species that live in the watershed.
24. The underlined word “squashed” probably means .
A. collected B. eaten C. killed D. lost
25. What do we know about the toadlets from the Paragraph 2?
A. They are an endangered species. B. They are not under protection.
C. They exist in large numbers. D. They know how to avoid danger.
26. Why do the toadlets make the migration in late August?
A. To find their parents. B. To lay eggs.
C. To look -for food. D. To avoid enemies.
27. Which part of a website does the passage probably appear?
A. Environment. B. Volunteering. C. Science. D. Stories.

An oceanographer is a professional who studies and analyzes the interactions of freshwater lakes, polar ice caps, melting glaciers, sea water, oceans and the atmosphere. By using the scientific and mathematical tools, an oceanographer is able to establish relation between all the factors that lead to environmental problems and water pollution. The job of an oceanographer, in strictest sense is diversified into various parts like studying the geological, physical and chemical aspects of the ocean and lakes. So, all the three branches of scientists work together in teams, on issues related to environment.
The geological oceanographers deal with topography issues of the ocean floor. The formation of canyons and underwater volcanoes is also studied by the geological oceanographers. One of the important duties of an oceanographer in this field is to collect sediments and rocks from deep in- side the ocean and study them, to
最新模拟卷二・英语第 8 页（共 8 页）
predict about the geological activity that may occur in the future. The fossils found in the oceans are also studied by them, to understand the geological activities and the climate history that prevailed thousands of years ago.
The physical oceanographers are the scientists who have become very important in predicting the movements in the ocean, for instance the tides, waves and winds. By studying the ocean movements, temperature and concentration of salinity, the physical oceanographers are able to understand the cause of natural disasters like the tsunamis. The satellite technology has made the job of physical oceanographers quite easier and better, as they are able to get an overall view of the images of the ocean and seas.
The chemical oceanographers are concerned with the interaction of chemicals in the water, along with the effects on the marine life. These are the scientists who study the effects of global warming, inside the ocean. The important information that these scientists collect about the in side temperature of the ocean, makes it possible to understand the dangerous consequences of global warming. Even small changes in the ocean temperature can adversely affect the life inside the ocean.
28. What do we know about an oceanographer?
A. He actually works alone.
B. His job involves three aspects.
C. His main purpose is to prevent water pollution. .
D. He is leader of three branches of scientists.
29. If an oceanographer wants to predict an earthquake, he will study .

C. the tides, waves and winds
D. chemicals in the water
30. The satellite technology helps an oceanographer to. .
A. study the effects of global warning
B. have a good view of the ocean and seas
C. spot a tsunami earlier
D. detect changes in temperature of the ocean
31. The whole passage is mainly organized by .
A. giving descriptions B. providing proof
C. giving examples D. explaining terms

When people lie, they are more prone to feeling anxious or blue, and to experiencing fre quent headaches, running noses, and back pain. When people change their ways and start telling the truth more often, however, they can improve both their mental arid physical health, says university of Notre Dame psychology professor Anita Kelly, lead author of a new study on the effects of lying.
The Notre Dame study looked at 110 people, ranging in age from 18 to 71, over a period of 10 weeks. Half the participants agreed to try to stop telling lies (both major and minor) for the duration of the test. The other half received no special instructions. Subjects took weekly poly graph tests(测谎)to assess the number and type of lies they had told in the previous week. "Those who were instructed to dramatically reduce lies experienced significantly

better health than those in the group that continued to lie," Kelly says.
Her team found that participants who began telling the truth more often experienced 54 per- cent fewer mental health complaints (such as anxiety or feeling blue) over the course of the study, and 56 percent fewer physical health complaints (such as nausea or headaches). Subjects who began telling the truth more often also reported happier relationships and improved social interac tions.
Surprisingly, the “size” of a lie doesn't appear to have much impact on its health effects, Kelly says. Both minor lies» like telling a friend you can't meet for coffee because you "have to work,” and big lies, such as claiming false credentials（证书）in a job interview； can negatively af fect your health. "Both white and major lies can be problematic," she says, "because they can both cause the person to be seen as a liar. Both can violate expectations of honesty in a relation ship." And all of that leads to feelings of anxiety arid guilt.
32. How does the author introduce the topic of the text in Paragraph 1?
A. By giving examples. B. By making comparisons.
C. By giving figures. D. By listing reasons.
33. What do we know about those who began telling the truth?
A. They benefited both physically and mentally.
B. They had few social relations.
C. They felt happier with the lie.
D. They dealt with relations better.
34. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. Big lies do more harm to one's health. B. The size of a lie makes a difference.
C. Minor lies do little harm to one's health. D. All lies can negatively affect one's health.
35. Which of the following could be the best title for the text?
A. Lying Makes You Sick B. Stop Telling Lies
C. Why Do We Lie D. An Experiment with Liars

The cicada（蝉）has an interesting life cycle, but most of us only become aware of these insects in summer when they reach adulthood and begin their calls. 36 Some, like the Golden Emperor, have complicated songs. The summertime calls of the cicada are made by adult males to attract females, their eggs are usually laid in scratches cut through the skin of the tree. Once it has been completed, the adults die.
When the eggs hatch, the larvae（幼虫）drop to the ground and live under the soil. 37 They spend as little as several months for some species or as long as several years for other spe cies buried under ground, shedding（蜕皮）their skin as they grow. They shed their skin for the last time to become adult cicadas with their wings. 38 A few days after coming out of the soil, the males call for mates and cycle begins again.
The Golden Emperor, whose call is quite different from others, is one of Australians biggest and prettiest cicadas. 39 The Golden Emperor calls in groups, but getting to see one up close is very difficult as they fly away when approached. Also, as their breeding season progresses, they gradually move higher up the tree trunks. 40 The Golden Emperor is a delight just to lis ten to if you can't see the insect itself!

Ever wondered why some dinosaurs were gigantic （巨大的）？ A team of German scientists may have found 61 answer—plant-eating dinosaurs didn't chew their food!
As you 62 （probable） know, large animals spend large amounts of time eating. It’s par tially 63they need a lot of food. The other reason is that it takes the animal a long time 64 （chew） food. But it seems that plant-eating dinosaurs did not spend any time 65 （bite）. In stead, they swallowed huge amounts of food, and then let it all digest（(消化）in their huge _66 （stomach）.
Also, animals that chew a lot need to have large teeth and mouth muscles, 67 need to fit somewhere—that is why elephants have huge heads. However, plant-eating dinosaurs 68 （have） small, light heads.
The lighter head allowed a 69 （long） neck, which in turn helped with their intake. Un like other animals, they did not have to go around the forest looking 70 food. Instead, they simply stood in one place and swallowed and swallowed!
