Whether you’re traveling with teens or kids, there’s an option for you below.
Jamaica
Jamaica is a preferred place when it comes to family vacations for a reason. Yes, there are amazingly blue waters and extensive sandy beaches—also there’s plenty of adventures to be had. Putting up nights at the Royalton Negril, you don’t even need to leave the resort to entertain your family, since there’s a mini water park and kids’ club on site.
Puerto Rico
Puerto Rico is great for American families in need of an easy getaway, since US citizens don’t need a passport to visit. After some time on the island’s beautiful beaches, explore the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Old San Juan, which is just two hours from Miami and less than four hours from New York City, by plane.
Dominica
Families with active teens should head to Dominica for an off-the-beaten-path experience. The youngest Caribbean island at just 26 million years old, it’s nicknamed the Nature Island for its thick rain forests, plentiful waterfalls, and volcano-fed hot springs. The island is also home to one-of-a-kind attractions like the Waitukubuli Sea Trail—the only sea kayaking （皮划艇） trail in the Caribbean.
Barbados
If you want your beach vacation with a side of history, head to Barbados. Beyond its great natural setting, the island has an abundance of cultural experiences that are engaging and educational for adults and children alike. Explore the colonial architecture in Bridgetown, tour the Barbados Museum & Historical Society, or appreciate works by local artists in the Gallery of Caribbean Art in Speightstown.

In recent fast paced life, the demands and pressures of work left me feeling mentally and physically stressed. I decided to disconnect from my job for a while for a mental break. As a nature lover, without any delay, I came to Borneo, the world’s third largest island.
Upon arrival, a local offered to be my guide, which was a great bonus for me. He led me through the jungle and I was immersed in the exploration. One day, the guide turned off the smooth road and took me across a rough hillside instead. We picked our way gingerly when suddenly, a Rafflesia (大王花) appeared into my view among those stones. More than delighted, I bent down and put my nose practically to feel the flower’s special flavour.
As I was approaching the end of my trip, there was another thing highlighting my trip. We happened to encounter the king of the crocodile (鳄鱼), a saltwater crocodile, which can grow to a length of 6 meters. It was getting dark. When we shone a flashlight towards the muddy shore, little sounds emerged in the darkness as if something unseen underwater had broken the mud. Taking a second look, we spotted two greedy eyes just above the water line. Cautiously, we approached it and finally could figure out it was a baby crocodile. Though alarmed, I could proudly talk big that I had encountered a hungry crocodile in the wild and lived to back.
Though I have settled back into the routine of everyday life now, the experience stays long after the physical journey ended. I have learned to face life’s challenges with a renewed outlook. Despite the rat race of daily existence, try to spare time to spot the breathtaking beauty of nature and the heartfelt connections with others. The world out there is so fascinating.
4. Why did the author go to Borneo
A. To connect better with his work.
B. To relieve himself of the pressures.
C To keep an appointment with a local guide.
D. To reward himself for his promotion in job.
5. What does the underlined word “gingerly” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Patiently. B. Roughly. C. Cautiously. D. Rapidly.
6. What is the tone of the author when recalling the saltwater crocodile he met
A. Critical. B. Instructive. C. Regretful. D. Humorous.
7. What does the author advise us to do in the last paragraph
A. Keep a balance between life and work.
B. Battle with challenges from life and work.
C Research your destinations ahead of time.
D. Learn more about travel safety knowledge.
C
In 2018, Russian scientists took a soil sample from deep in the permanently frozen ground in Siberia in Russia. They discovered two tiny round nematodes (线虫) frozen in the sample, which were so small that they could only be seen with a microscope. Tests showed the soil had been frozen for about 46,000 years old. When the nematodes were placed in room temperature, they began to move. The nematodes are the oldest living animals ever brought back to life after being frozen. The discovery makes up for the research on how living things can survive in tough conditions.
Nematodes can live for years if they’re frozen. They can enter a special state called cryptobiosis (隐生现象) during which animals reduce their activities and consume very little energy. Before this, the longest nematode had been known to survive through cryptobiosis was about 25 years. Being revived after 46,000 years was a new record for any kind of animal.
The nematodes were sent off to Germany to be studied further. The researchers found the two nematodes were a new species of nematode that had not yet been discovered. That’s not too surprising, since there are so many species of nematodes. They also found the nematodes were able to survive being frozen better if they were dried out a little first. The drying helped them produce a special sugar called trehalose (海藻糖), which helped them survive being frozen. The scientists also studied a nematode species that is common these days. They found that it also uses the sugar to protect itself in cryptobiosis.
Both of the nematodes were females. Before long, they began to have babies. Some kinds of nematodes, including these, have the ability for a single nematode to have babies all by itself. The two original frozen nematodes have now died. But their babies had babies who had babies, and so on. Most of the nematodes only live a month or two unless they get frozen.
8. What do we know about the two nematodes in the first paragraph
A. They were the oldest living animals.
B. They were still alive when warmed up.
C. They were found on the surface of the ground.
D. They were the tiniest creatures ever discovered.
9. How does cryptobiosis affect nematodes
A. It slows down the pace of their life.
B. It helps them speed up their drying.
C. It gets their body temperature down.
D. It stops them from consuming energy.
10. Which of the following is unrelated to the nematodes’ survival for years
A. Cryptobiosis. B. Trehalose. C. Their sex. D. Dry condition.
11. What can be the best title for the text
A. Female nematodes live longer than the male ones
B. Nematodes can produce young when they are frozen
C. Nematodes are ranked the fastest producing creatures
D. Short-lived nematodes survived for thousands of years
D
If you live in San Diego, you’ve probably noticed some strangely coloured water on the beach lately. You might wonder about red tide, but it’s actually an intentional job. Scientists at UC San Diego Scripps Institution of Oceanography and University of Washington have been experimenting with dyeing (给……染色) the ocean at San Diego beach pink. What could they possibly be up to
This is being done for a study that examines how fresh water on the outlet of the sea is intermixing with the ocean. The experiment is called Plumes in Nearshore Conditions (PiNC) . “I’m excited because this research hasn’t been done before and it’s a really unique experiment,” said Sarah Giddings, a Scripps coastal oceanographer leading the PiNC study. “The aim is to understand how fresh water interacts with ocean waves, since it is usually warmer than ocean water and more floating.” The researchers are hoping that this pink dye experiment will help them record more about how pollutants and sediments (沉积物) are distributed in the ocean water through these additions of fresh water.
The fresh water is dyed pink so that the team can easily keep track of it when fresh water is added to the sea water. The dye does not threaten the wildlife living there and is then spotted as it progresses in the water. It is tracked by sensors on poles that are located along the sand as well as by drones (无人驾驶飞机) . There’s also a device that tracks the light that is given off by the pink dye. The sensors record the height of the waves, ocean currents and temperature.
Giddings explained, “We’re bringing together a lot of different people with different expertise. I think it’s going to have some really great results and impacts. We will combine the results from this experiment with a former field study and computer models to help us further understand how the dyed fresh water spreads.”
12. How does the author lead in the topic of the text
A. By showing a strange phenomenon. B. By making an assumption.
C. By quoting a well-known saying. D. By making a comparison.
13. What is the purpose of Plumes in Nearshore Conditions
A. To introduce the benefits of dyeing sea water pink.
B. To show how fresh water combines with sea water.
C. To prove that fresh water is warmer than sea water.
D. To examine the impact of fresh water on sea water.
14. Why is pink dye used by the team
A. It can enormously give off light. B. It can function well with sensors.
C. It can be recognized easily and eco-friendly. D. It seems to attract wildlife and spread rapidly.
15. What will the researchers do according to Giddings’ words in the last paragraph
A. Challenge the results with some experts. B. Build more scientific computer models.
C. Experiment with dyes of another colour. D. Integrate more results of former studies.

The words every parent is afraid of hearing were spoken to me at my son’s bedside in our local hospital early last year. “Ma’am, your son is very sick.”
What began as stomach pains had turned into a loss of blood that landed him in the emergency room the night before. After testing, it was confirmed that my previously healthy and energetic son now had a colon (结肠) that was attacking itself. It would have to be removed.
Of course, money wasn’t the first thing on our minds. His survival was front and center. But over the next few days, as we waited out the lengthy process to get him transferred to a university hospital for surgery, it suddenly began to dawn on me: How would we pay for this We had insurance, but it was the bare minimum that we could afford. This was happening at the beginning of the year, so our first and most terrifying crisis was meeting the shocking $7,500 deductible (免赔额).
To some families, this might not seem like much. But we are just an average-income family and coming up with that amount of money at once was next to impossible.
I tried to put it out of my mind and keep all my focus on my son and his health We had a long road ahead of us and stressing over something beyond my control was not going to help the situation at hand.
But, still, it was there.
On one of those endless hospital nights waiting for his transfer, I was texting my good friend Vanessa and let that figure slip: $7,500. I knew there would be many bills to come, but that first seemingly unattainable number kept floating around in my mind. She sympathized and let me get out my fear and frustrations like the great friend she is. Then we said good night, and I tried to get some sleep.
注意：
1．续写词数应为150左右；2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

In recent fast paced life, the demands and pressures of work left me feeling mentally and physically stressed. I decided to disconnect from my job for a while for a mental break. As a nature lover, without any delay, I came to Borneo, the world’s third largest island.
Upon arrival, a local offered to be my guide, which was a great bonus for me. He led me through the jungle and I was immersed in the exploration. One day, the guide turned off the smooth road and took me across a rough hillside instead. We picked our way gingerly when suddenly, a Rafflesia (大王花) appeared into my view among those stones. More than delighted, I bent down and put my nose practically to feel the flower’s special flavour.
As I was approaching the end of my trip, there was another thing highlighting my trip. We happened to encounter the king of the crocodile (鳄鱼), a saltwater crocodile, which can grow to a length of 6 meters. It was getting dark. When we shone a flashlight towards the muddy shore, little sounds emerged in the darkness as if something unseen underwater had broken the mud. Taking a second look, we spotted two greedy eyes just above the water line. Cautiously, we approached it and finally could figure out it was a baby crocodile. Though alarmed, I could proudly talk big that I had encountered a hungry crocodile in the wild and lived to back.
Though I have settled back into the routine of everyday life now, the experience stays long after the physical journey ended. I have learned to face life’s challenges with a renewed outlook. Despite the rat race of daily existence, try to spare time to spot the breathtaking beauty of nature and the heartfelt connections with others. The world out there is so fascinating.

In 2018 Russian scientists took a soil sample from deep in the permanently frozen ground in Siberia in Russia. They discovered two tiny round nematodes (线虫) frozen in the sample, which were so small that they could only be seen with a microscope. Tests showed the soil had been frozen for about 46,000 years old. When the nematodes were placed in room temperature, they began to move. The nematodes are the oldest living animals ever brought back to life after being frozen. The discovery makes up for the research on how living things can survive in tough conditions.
Nematodes can live for years if they’re frozen. They can enter a special state called cryptobiosis (隐生现象) , during which animals reduce their activities and consume very little energy. Before this, the longest nematode had been known to survive through cryptobiosis was about 25 years. Being revived after 46,000 years was a new record for any kind of animal.
The nematodes were sent off to Germany to be studied further. The researchers found the two nematodes were a new species of nematode that had not yet been discovered. That’s not too surprising, since there are so many species of nematodes. They also found the nematodes were able to survive being frozen better if they were dried out a little first. The drying helped them produce a special sugar called trehalose (海藻糖), which helped them survive being frozen. The scientists also studied a nematode species that is common these days. They found that it also uses the sugar to protect itself in cryptobiosis.
Both of the nematodes were females. Before long, they began to have babies. Some kinds of nematodes, including these, have the ability for a single nematode to have babies all by itself. The two original frozen nematodes have now died. But their babies had babies who had babies, and so on. Most of the nematodes only live a month or two unless they get frozen.
8. What do we know about the two nematodes in the first paragraph
A. They were the oldest living animals.
B. They were still alive when warmed up.
C. They were found on the surface of the ground.
D. They were the tiniest creatures ever discovered.
9. How does cryptobiosis affect nematodes
A. It slows down the pace of their life.
B. It helps them speed up their drying.
C. It gets their body temperature down.
D. It stops them from consuming energy.
10. Which of the following is unrelated to the nematodes’ survival for years
A. Cryptobiosis. B. Trehalose. C. Their sex. D. Dry condition.
11 What can be the best title for the text
A. Female nematodes live longer than the male ones
B. Nematodes can produce young when they are frozen
C. Nematodes are ranked the fastest producing creatures
D. Short-lived nematodes survived for thousands of years
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. C 11. D
【解析】
【导语】 这是一篇说明文。俄罗斯科学家在西伯利亚的冻土中发现了两只线虫，它们依旧活着，科学家对其进行了研究的事情。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“When the nematodes were placed in room temperature, they began to move.”（当线虫被放置在室温下时，它们开始移动。）可知，当把线虫置于室温环境下，他们开始动起来。故选B项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“They can enter a special state called cryptobiosis (隐生现象) , during which animals reduce their activities and consume very little energy.”（它们可以进入一种特殊的状态，称为隐生现象, 在此期间，动物减少了它们的活动并且消耗很少的能量。）可知，线虫会进入一种叫做隐生的特殊状态，在这种状态下，动物会减少活动消耗极少的能量。故选A项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Nematodes can live for years if they’re frozen. They can enter a special state called cryptobiosis (隐生现象) , during which animals reduce their activities and consume very little energy.”（如果被冷冻，线虫可以存活数年。它们可以进入一种特殊的状态，称为隐生现象, 在此期间，动物减少了它们的活动并且消耗很少的能量。）及第三段“They also found the nematodes were able to survive being frozen better if they were dried out a little first. The drying helped them produce a special sugar called trehalose (海藻糖), which helped them survive being frozen.”（他们还发现，如果先干燥一点，线虫在冷冻状态下能够更好地存活。干燥有助于他们产生一种名为海藻糖的特殊糖, 帮助它们在冰冻中幸存下来。）可知，线虫在隐生状态下会减少能量消耗，它们变干后体内会产生海藻糖来帮助它们存活下来，由此可知线虫的性别和与它们能存活几千年没有因果关系。故选C项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“They discovered two tiny round nematodes (线虫) frozen in the sample, which were so small that they could only be seen with a microscope. Tests showed the soil had been frozen for about 46,000 years old. When the nematodes were placed in room temperature, they began to move.”（他们发现了两种微小的圆形线虫冷冻在样本中，这些样本太小了，只能用显微镜才能看到。测试表明，这块土地已经被冻了大约4.6万年。当线虫被放置在室温下时，它们开始移动。）及最后一段“Most of the nematodes only live a month or two unless they get frozen.”（大多数线虫只有一两个月的寿命，除非它们被冷冻。）可知，文章主要阐述了俄罗斯科学家在4.6万年的冻土的中发现了两只线虫，虽然它们正常的寿命只有一两个月，但是当它们被放置在室温下却存活了下来的事情，故文章最佳的标题是短命线虫存活了数千年。故选D项。
D
If you live in San Diego, you’ve probably noticed some strangely coloured water on the beach lately. You might wonder about red tide, but it’s actually an intentional job. Scientists at UC San Diego Scripps Institution of Oceanography and University of Washington have been experimenting with dyeing (给……染色) the ocean at San Diego beach pink. What could they possibly be up to
This is being done for a study that examines how fresh water on the outlet of the sea is intermixing with the ocean. The experiment is called Plumes in Nearshore Conditions (PiNC) . “I’m excited because this research hasn’t been done before and it’s a really unique experiment,” said Sarah Giddings, a Scripps coastal oceanographer leading the PiNC study. “The aim is to understand how fresh water interacts with ocean waves, since it is usually warmer than ocean water and more floating.” The researchers are hoping that this pink dye experiment will help them record more about how pollutants and sediments (沉积物) are distributed in the ocean water through these additions of fresh water.
The fresh water is dyed pink so that the team can easily keep track of it when fresh water is added to the sea water. The dye does not threaten the wildlife living there and is then spotted as it progresses in the water. It is tracked by sensors on poles that are located along the sand as well as by drones (无人驾驶飞机) . There’s also a device that tracks the light that is given off by the pink dye. The sensors record the height of the waves, ocean currents and temperature.
Giddings explained, “We’re bringing together a lot of different people with different expertise. I think it’s going to have some really great results and impacts. We will combine the results from this experiment with a former field study and computer models to help us further understand how the dyed fresh water spreads.”
12. How does the author lead in the topic of the text
A. By showing a strange phenomenon. B. By making an assumption.
C. By quoting a well-known saying. D. By making a comparison.
13. What is the purpose of Plumes in Nearshore Conditions
A. To introduce the benefits of dyeing sea water pink.
B. To show how fresh water combines with sea water.
C. To prove that fresh water is warmer than sea water.
D. To examine the impact of fresh water on sea water.
14. Why is pink dye used by the team
A. It can enormously give off light. B. It can function well with sensors.
C. It can be recognized easily and eco-friendly. D. It seems to attract wildlife and spread rapidly.
15. What will the researchers do according to Giddings’ words in the last paragraph
A. Challenge the results with some experts. B. Build more scientific computer models.
C. Experiment with dyes of another colour. D. Integrate more results of former studies.
【答案】12. A 13. B 14. C 15. D

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了中国最受欢迎的景点之一——神农架。
【36题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：神农架据说是炎帝曾经住过的地方。分析可知，空处引导定语从句，先行词为place，关系词在从句中作地点状语，所以空白处应用关系副词where。故填where。
【37题详解】
考查连词。句意：他们实际上并没有看到任何野人，但是他们被神农架的生机勃勃的生态、丰富的生物多样性和喀斯特地貌所吸引。修饰动词see，应用副词作状语，故填actually。
【38题详解】
考查时态。句意：随着自然的发展，神农架的美景每年都在变化。根据下文“over the year as nature takes its course”可知，此处的时态要用一般现在时，结合主语Shennongjia’s beauty，是不可数名词，谓语动词用第三人称单数形式，所以此处用varies。故填varies。
【39题详解】
考查名词。句意：游客可以在春天赏花，在夏天乘凉，在秋天赏红叶，在冬天滑雪。作主语用名词tourist，可数名词，此处表示不止一个游客，用复数，故填Tourists。
【40题详解】
考查连词。句意：游客可以在春天赏花，在夏天乘凉，在秋天赏红叶，在冬天滑雪。根据句意，enjoy flower blossoms in spring，be shaded from the summer heat， appreciate red leaves in autumn和go skiing in winter之间是并列关系，应用并列连词and连接，故填and。
【41题详解】
考查动名词。句意：2010年，中国宣布了建设10个生态系统保护试点国家公园的计划，其中包括湖北省神农架林区。介词后接动名词作宾语，故填building。
【42题详解】
考查时态。句意：官方数据显示，去年神农架林区游客达到了1550多万人次。分析句子可知，reach是that引导的宾语从句的谓语动词，根据时间状语in 2020可知，描述过去发生的事情用一般过去时，动词使用过去式形式，故填reached。
【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：到2025年，森林面积的目标是在不久的将来把这个年度数字提高到3000万以上，旅游收入超过100亿元。aim to do“力求达到”，结合设空前aims，故用动词不定式作宾语。故填to increase。
【44题详解】
考查代词。句意：游客如果不驾驶自己的汽车，可以使用公共汽车服务。修饰名词用形容词性物主代词，their表示“他们的”，符合题意，故填their。
【45题详解】
考查冠词。句意：在2021年五月，神农架将与一条新建的高速铁路相连接，这将使山区变得更加便利。此处泛指“一条新建的高速铁路”，应用不定冠词，newly是辅音音素开头的单词，前边应用不定冠词a，故填a。

第二节（满分25分）
47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
The words every parent is afraid of hearing were spoken to me at my son’s bedside in our local hospital early last year. “Ma’am, your son is very sick.”
What began as stomach pains had turned into a loss of blood that landed him in the emergency room the night before. After testing it was confirmed that my previously healthy and energetic son now had a colon (结肠) that was attacking itself. It would have to be removed.
Of course, money wasn’t the first thing on our minds. His survival was front and center. But over the next few days, as we waited out the lengthy process to get him transferred to a university hospital for surgery, it suddenly began to dawn on me: How would we pay for this We had insurance, but it was the bare minimum that we could afford. This was happening at the beginning of the year, so our first and most terrifying crisis was meeting the shocking $7,500 deductible (免赔额).
To some families, this might not seem like much. But we are just an average-income family and coming up with that amount of money at once was next to impossible.
I tried to put it out of my mind and keep all my focus on my son and his health. We had a long road ahead of us and stressing over something beyond my control was not going to help the situation at hand.
But, still, it was there.
On one of those endless hospital nights waiting for his transfer, I was texting my good friend Vanessa and let that figure slip: $7,500. I knew there would be many bills to come, but that first seemingly unattainable number kept floating around in my mind. She sympathized and let me get out my fear and frustrations like the great friend she is. Then we said good night, and I tried to get some sleep.

The next morning, everything would change.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I could not believe the flood of love and support that came from such unexpected places.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】The next morning, everything would change. Vanessa came to the hospital. After knowing about the whole situation, she said, “I want your permission.” She went on to say that she wanted to start a Go Fund Me for us. A Go Fund Me for me Would my pride allow that “It’s not for you. It’s for him.” With those wise words from my all-knowing friend, I gave her the go-ahead. Within days, we had almost the entire amount to pay our deductible.
I could not believe the flood of love and support that came from such unexpected places. So many people that I didn’t even realize knew my name were suddenly throwing generous sums our way. The collective love coming through that computer screen was a feeling I had never known. Strangers were helping us through the hardest thing we’d ever been through. After that first deductible crisis was overcome, things started looking up financially. My son was approved for a state-based insurance plan that covered most of his treatments and medications and he is gradually recovering, too. The kindness of strangers changed our lives.
