"But it can be more than just that. Ecotourism can also be done in urban areas. Ecotourism is all about visiting new places in a responsible and eco-conscious way, whether such places are in a natural area or not. Urban ecotourism includes locally-owned restaurants that source seasonal ingredients from local growers, or spending time in national, regional and city parks. Use of public transport, bicycles, and ferries, is also part of urban ecotourism, as well as staying in locally-owned or green accommodations. Where you go is important. As an eco-tourist, how to get to your destination is just as important as where you stay for the night. Consider finding creative ways to enjoy your journey, like avoiding freeways and passing through scenic towns or taking the train and admiring the landscape through the window. Ecotourism is just about nature. Ecotourism is also about getting closer to the culture of your destination. On another note, ecotourism brings an opportunity for tourists to volunteer and provide assistance with a variety of projects such as monitoring local wildlife or restoring coral reefs. Volunteering gets you to know about your destination from a different perspective, establish new friendships, practice speaking new languages, and discover a new field of interest. Ecotourism caters to（迎合）tourists. Ecotourism is not just about getting away from the stress of life, but also allowing you to experience your destination through the eyes of locals. There are home-staying programs that connect travelers with families who are willing to host your stay for a few days and even show you around while you are there. The local family can provide you with inside advice on the best places to eat, hike, swim, and other sites worth visiting. 21. Which of the following belongs to ecotourism according to the text?A. Living in a hotel. B. Traveling by car. C. Staying in a park. D. Eating canned food22. What volunteer activity can eco-tourists participate in?A. Taking notes of the local culture. B. Getting involved in local communities. C. Sharing your interests with the locals. D. Helping watch and check local wildlife. 23. What is the advantage of taking part in a home-staying program?A. It saves you a lot of money. B. It gives you more to enjoy. C. It makes your trip adventurous. D. It offers you everything. BSchool life can be hard for any child, but if you add severe learning difficulties into the mix, it can be unbearable. This was the case for William Carter, who really struggled throughout his primary education. To make things worse, he was laughed at by classmates for his learning difficulties. At 13, he was still unable to read. However, when he was properly diagnosed with severe dyslexia and dyspraxia（诵读困难）, his education turned around. Carter managed to eventually gain a first-class degree in politics and international relations at Bristol University in England. After receiving a scholarship, he is now studying for a PhD in political geography at the University of California, Berkeley. Carter spent so long without being properly diagnosed, which makes it even more difficult for him to study. Yet as soon as the diagnosis is made, life becomes more bearable for the child, with lessons and materials adapted to give the kids like him a chance to grasp what they are trying to learn. The fact that Carter's achievements are so impressive demonstrates how capable kids with special needs truly are. Carter seems almost grateful for his learning disabilities. He believes “fundamentally, dyslexia made me who I am today.” The Londoner's goal is to become a professor of political theory and Black geographies and then follow a career in politics. He aims to correct a system that he feels is lacking: "The fact that I, through luck and the support of others, made it in spite of social-economic barriers, shouldn't justify our system and society.”In appreciating the opportunities he was given, Carter will no doubt be a brilliant advocate for other children facing inequality at school and an inspiration for other youngsters and their parents. 24. What is the author's attitude toward Carter?A. Sympathetic. B. Admiring. C. Indifferent. D. Skeptical. 25. What brought about change in Carter's study?A. The routine he sticks to. B. The treatment of his disease. C. Special help from the university. D. Adaptation of learning materials. 26. What might Carter be in the future?A. A speaker. B. A designer. C. A politician. D. An engineer. 27. Which part of the website does this text probably come from?A. Inspiring story. B. Medical knowledge. C. Political news. D. Campus life. CWhat if you used every spare minute you had to practice a skill? Imagine having 2 hours of free time a day where you spend 30 minutes learning a new language, another 30 minutes drawing, another 30 minutes learning to cook, and another 30 minutes learning video editing or whatever else that interests you. Now imagine doing this for an entire year. Do you realize how much more skilled you'd become at things or how much more talented and gifted you'd appear to other people? Imagine if you had 4 or 8 hours a day? What if you did this for a decade or two? Even 30minutes a day could create a huge change. Many people believe Leonardo da Vinci was one of the greatest geniuses in human history. Perhaps a large part of his genius was a result of knowing how to spend the limited amount of time he had more wisely than anyone else. I think we all know we could have been better than we are right now. Instead of throwing in the towel and letting the gap between where you are and where you could be increase, do what you can to keep it from expanding. You don't even have to be the best at something to be seen as awesome. You just have to be better than most people and seeing that most people waste a lot of time, a little bit of time sacrifice and discipline can go a long way. We all have a crazy amount of potential within us and although it's nearly impossible to reach our full potential, the least we can do is give it our best shot. All it takes is a plan andself-discipline. You're the main character of your life's story; it's time to give your audience not only something to look forward to, but something to be inspired by. 28.

How to Beat Your Competitor D. How to Play Save Your TimeDWeather reports often mention high or low pressure systems headed toward a city or town. If you're in the path of one of these systems, expect a change in weather conditions. High and low pressure systems operate using similar principles, but the effects they produce differ significantly. View a weather map, and you may see distinct regions that represent different air masses. An air mass is a region of air that has about the same humidity（湿度）and temperature throughout. When an air mass remains over a location for a while, it decides the characteristics of the region. Air masses can be cold or warm and they may contain wet or dry air. All air masses have the ability to move away from their source region into other locations. Meteorologists（气象学家）call the boundary between two air masses a front. A cold front's motion through a warm front is a low-pressure system. If a cold air mass replaces a warm air mass, you have a cold front. Air in the cold air mass is often drier than air in front of it. As the air masses meet, the wind usually changes direction and rain or thunderstorms often occur. A warm front is associated with a high-pressure system and occurs when a warm air mass replaces a colder air mass. A high-pressure system often brings clear, calm weather. Warm fronts travel slowly and are weaker than cold fronts. Cold fronts move faster than warm fronts because a cold front contains denser air. Cold fronts also often travel from west to east while warm fronts move from north to south. As a warm front approaches, temperatures may rise as warmer air flows in from a warm air mass. However, when the cold front hits, temperatures can drop precipitously within a short time. 32. How is the temperature of a region under a certain air mass?A. Unusual. B. Stable. C. Diverse. D. Changeable. 33. What happens when two air masses meet?A. A clear sky appears. B. A strong wind is formed. C. The air becomes wetter. D. The wind changes directions. 34. What does the underlined word "precipitously" in the last paragraph mean?A. Sharply. B. Slowly. C. Possibly. D. Specially. 35. What is mainly talked about in this text?A. The formation of air masses. B. The new findings of meteorologists. C. The effects of air mass and fronts on weather. D. The methods for accurate weather forecasts. 河北省邯郸市2021届高三上学期期末考试英语试题（解析版）第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分）阅读下列短文，从每小题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项AReading has been on the decline for years.
