10、 the entrance fee?$85-Private, non-commercial vehicle; $30-Motorcycle or snowmobile (winter);$20-Visitors 16 and older entering by foot, bike, ski, etc.*This fee provides the visitor with a 7-day entrance permit for both Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks.Where should we stay?Your decision m

11、ay depend on how much time you have and what you want to see the most. If you plan on visiting Yellowstone National Park for only a few days and want to experience some of the main attractions then West Yellowstone would be a good base. If you want to have the full park experience then perhaps lodgi

12、ng (住宿) at Old Faithful would be a good choice. If you want to view the most wildlife, then we suggest the Northeast Entrance.When is the best time to visit the park?This depends on what your interests are. Spring has abundant wildlife, roaring waterfalls and wild weather. Summer has it all includin

13、g the most crowds, so youd better get out early and eat your breakfast on the road! Fall is a special time of year. Everything seems to be declining including the crowds. Winter is a time of being a bit of social isolation. In years past it was more “economical” to visit most of the park. Now it is

14、more restricted unless you can afford a snow-coach or guided snowmobile tour.Can I get Cell and Wi-Fi?Free public Wi-Fi is available at Al-bright Visitor Center and at some park lodges for registered guests. Cell service is extremely limited, with reception only available in or near major developed

15、areas. In summer, service often reaches its limit in these areas.Yet, it is sad to see the latest generation fade away from normal everyday activities and conversation. Get out, look around, admire the wonders. Therere plenty of natural and human distractions around every corner. The last thing we w

16、ant to do is distract visitors from Yellowstones wonders especially while driving.1. How much is the entrance fee in total if Jeffery makes a self-driving trip to Yellowstone with his father and his 14-year-old daughter during the winter vacation?A. $50B. $85C. $105D. $1252. The underlined sentence

17、implies that .A. most of the park was restricted to visitors in winter in the pastB. visiting Yellowstone in winter is preferred by most local peopleC. winter used to be the best time to visit the park in terms of expensesD. nowadays most people choose to tour the park on a snow-coach in winter3. We

18、 can learn from the passage that .A. the wireless connection is not satisfactoryB. Old Faithful provides a full view of the parkC. the entrance ticket applies to Yellowstone onlyD. younger generations make up the majority of park visitorsBOn January 7th, 2022, David Bennett became the first person t

19、o have a heart transplanted successfully into him from a pig. On that occasion, mere operation success was the goal. This operation is a milestone for xenotransplantation (异种移植) the transfer of organs from other species to human patients.For decades, researchers have attempted to deal with xenotrans

20、plantations basic problem. This is that the human body, when it recognizes foreign tissue, tends to turn against it. In the case of pigs, the most important marker of foreignness is a sugar molecule (分子) called alpha-Gal. While this molecule does not exist in humans, antibodies to kill it do. So no

21、transplant from a pig with alpha-Gal would last more than a couple of minutes in a human body. In 2003 pigs were produced with a changed genome so as to prevent the enzyme (酶) responsible for making alpha-Gal. This was a step in the right direction, but other barriers popped up.The pig for Davids op

22、eration had a genome changed in ten ways to increase the chances of success. Three genes had been removed to reduce the risk of a human antibody rejecting the organ. A fourth, a growth gene, had also been knocked out, to ensure the heart did not enlarge after transplantation. And six human genes had

23、 been added to promote acceptance.There are other concerns. One is any unknown rejection mechanism. Another is the possibility that the organ may pass viruses to its new host. The pig in question was raised where there was no virus to reduce the chance of that, but it remains a possibility.In theory

24、, pigs can be raised to provide humans with any solid organ, but some will be more complex than others. Moreover, even if these barriers can be overcome, most researchers still acknowledge that increasing xenotransplantation to meet the worlds demand for organs may take decades. After this news, how

25、ever, the chances that it will happen eventually have increased.4. What is the basic problem of xenotransplantation?A. The human body lacks alpha-Gal.B. The human body resists foreign tissues.C. The life of the transplanted organ is too short.D. The enzyme is prevented from making alpha-Gal.5. Why w

26、as a growth gene removed in Davids case?A. Because it would change Davids genome.B. Because it would lead to heart enlargement.C. Because it would make the heart more acceptable.D. Because it would be recognized by Davids antibodies.6. What can we learn about the pig?A. It saved the patients life pe

27、rfectly.B. It had a decreased number of genes.C. It had an unknown rejection mechanism.D. It was raised in a virus-free environment.7. What is the authors attitude towards the future of xenotransplantation?A. Optimistic.B. Indifferent.C. Disturbed.D. Uncertain.CWhat do Harry Potter, Katniss Everdeen

28、, and Frodo all have in common with the heroes of ancient myths (神话)?Joseph Campbell studied myths from all over the world and published a book called “The Hero with a Thousand Faces”, retelling dozens of stories and explaining how each represents the mono-myth, or Heros Journey. So, what is the “He

29、ros Journey”?He thinks of it as a cycle in his book. The journey begins with the hero receiving a mysterious message, an invitation, or a challenge. After crossing the threshold from his safe home to adventure, with some help probably from someone older, wiser, our hero solves a riddle, slays a mons

30、ter, escapes from a trap. The heros darkest hour then comes, when he faces death and possibly even dies, only to be reborn. As a result, the hero claims some treasure, special recognition, or power, which can vary between stories. After all that adventure, the hero returns to his ordinary world, but

31、 upgrades to a new level. Nothing is quite the same once you are a hero.The Heros Journey myth exists in all human cultures and keeps getting updated, because we humans reflect on our world through symbolic stories of our own lives. You leave your comfort zone, have an experience that transforms you

32、 and then you recover and do it again. You dont literally slay dragons or fight Voldemort, but you face problems just as scary. Joseph Campbell said, “In the cave you fear to enter lies the treasure you seek.”What is the symbolic cave then you fear to enter? Auditions (试镜) for the school play? Baseb

33、all tryouts? Love?Watch for this formula (公式) in books, movies, and TV shows you come across. You will certainly see it again. Also be sensitive to it in your own life. Listen for your call to adventure. Accept the challenge. Conquer your fear and claim the treasure you seek. And then, do it all ove

34、r again.8. What is the correct order of the “Heros Journey”?Return to the ordinary world but upgrade to a new level. Receive a call to adventure and assistance from a wiser man. Set out on the adventure and go through a series of tough trials. Face a life-or-death crisis and be reborn with some spec

35、ial power.A. B. C. D. 9. Why is Heros Journey myth so popular?A. Because its a way to learn about the past.B. Because its a way to reflect on our world.C. Because these stories are part of human culture.D Because these stories are always being updated.10. Which of the following may the author disagr

36、ee with?A. We all need a “cave” to hide in face of danger.B. Difficulties we face tend to be treasures in life.C. Our comfort zone will promote our development.D. We should watch more movies and shows for the formula.11. Which of the following is a suitable title for the passage?A. Where to Find a H

37、ero.B. Be Your Own Hero.C. How to Conquer Your Fear.D. Seek Your Scary Cave.DAmerica was where all my mothers hopes lay. My mother believed one could be anything he wanted to be in America. “You can be a prodigy (神童), too,” my mother told me when I was nine. “You can be best at anything.” We didnt i

38、mmediately pick the right kind of prodigy. At first my mother thought I could be a Chinese Shirley Temple. Wed watch Shirleys old movies on TV as though they were training films. My mother would poke my arm and say, “Ni kan”You watch.Soon after my mother got this idea about Shirley Temple, she took

39、me to a beauty training school and put me in the hands of a student who could barely hold the scissors without shaking. Instead of getting big fat curls, I emerged with an uneven mass of crinkly black fuzz.In fact, in the beginning, I was just as excited as my mother, maybe even more so. I pictured

40、this prodigy part of me as many different images, trying each one on for size. I was a dainty ballerina girl standing by the curtains, waiting to hear the right music that would send me floating on my tiptoes. I was Cinderella stepping from her pumpkin carriage with sparkly cartoon music filling the

41、 air.In all of my imaginings, I was filled with a sense that I would soon become perfect. My mother and father would adore me. I would be beyond reproach (责备). I would never be annoyed by anything. Every night after dinner, my mother and I would sit at the Formica kitchen table. She would present ne

42、w tests, taking her examples from stories of amazing children she had read and a dozen other magazines she kept in a pile in our bathroom. My mother got these magazines from people whose houses she cleaned. She would look through them all, searching for stories about remarkable children.The first ni

43、ght she brought out a story about a three-year-old boy who knew the capitals of all the states and even most of the European countries. A teacher was quoted as saying the little boy could also pronounce the names of the foreign cities correctly.“Whats the capital of Finland?” my mother asked me, loo

44、king at the magazine story.All I knew was the capital of California, because Sacramento was the name of the street we lived on in Chinatown. “Nairobi!” I guessed, saying the most foreign word I could think of. She checked to see if that was possibly one way to pronounce “Helsinki” before showing me

45、the answer. The tests got harder multiplying numbers in my head, finding the queen of hearts in a deck of cards, trying to stand on my head without using my hands, predicting the daily temperatures in Los Angeles, New York, and London.And after seeing my mothers disappointed face once again, somethi

46、ng inside of me began to die. I hated the tests, the raised hopes and failed expectations. Before going to bed that night, I looked in the mirror and when I saw only my face staring back and that it would always be this ordinary face I began to cry. Such a sad, ugly girl! I made high-pitched (尖锐的) n

47、oises like a crazed animal, trying to scratch out the face in the mirror.And then I saw what seemed to be the prodigy side of me because I had never seen that face before. I looked at my reflection, blinking so I could see more clearly. The girl staring back at me was angry, powerful. This girl and I were the same. I had new thoughts, willful thoughts, or rather thoughts filled with l
