• 1．Few places in the world can be as good as Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park.This UNESCO World Heritage site has snow-capped mountains and，in its valleys，deep blue lakes.Grizzly bears and mountain lions live in its forests.It is different from most other World Heritage sites due to its location in two countries.This land actually combines two large national parks -Waterton Lakes National Park in Alberta，Canada，and Glacier National Park in Montana，United States.
     Back in 1931，local Rotary Club members had the idea of uniting the two parks.The Rotarians believed the area could be better protected and enjoyed as one，and their governments agreed.Then，in 1995，UNESCO agreed as well，and the two parks became a single World Heritage site.
     For visitors，Waterton-Glacier Park oilers many wonderful things to see and do.Have a picnic or go for a hike - or have a picnic on your hike-and be ready to take lots of pictures.On the lakes，take a boat tour，go fishing or simply go for a swim.
     Whatever activities you choose，amazing views will surround you.For example，a road tour anywhere in the park will pass through wonderful scenery.Don't miss the drive westward along the Going - to - the - Sun Road.You will never forget the great views.
     A number of small towns lie within Watcrton-Glacier Park or close to it.In these places，you can get a bite to cat，buy gifts or find a place to stay.One must-see is the town of Waterton and Prince of Wales Hotel.Camping in the park is a very popular activity.Many campsites are available on a first come，first served basis while some need to be reserved.If you camp，be sure to keep food locked away at night.Otherwise，you may have an unwanted visit from a bear.
     Words cannot describe beautiful Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park.You have to see it for yourself？

• 2．Q
  Dear Matt
     I don't have anyone to play with at break.My classmates all have their company，and no one is interested in talking to me.I'm shy and very lonely.I find it hard to make friends.What should I do？
  FriendlessA
  Dear Friendless
     Take the initiative（采取主動(dòng)）.The things that you want in life won't always just happen for you.Often，we need to take action to make a positive change in our lives.This also happens to be true for making friends.Fortunately，there is a lot you can do starting today to build friendships with your classmates.
     It's true that it's easier for some people to make friends than others.Like you，I am also a fairly shy person.Sometimes，it takes effort to go out and meet people.You will have to overcome your shyness by talking to people.It may be frightening and uncomfortable at first，but it's the only way to develop your confidence and begin to make friends.
     Making new friends starts with talking.You will need to get close to others to start a conversation.Do you have any common interests with your classmates？Find them.It could be something as simple as a TV show，music or sports.
     Are you involved in any after-school clubs，sports or activities？There are friends out there for all of us，and they will come more naturally.I used to play on a soccer team for many years when I was younger.Working towards a common goal-winning the game in this case-helped the teammates to work together.I made many friends this way.
     During the break，maybe you can introduce a new game or activity that others would be interested in.Make sure your body language shows that you are open and willing to talk with others.Don't be afraid to speak loud before a group of people.Also，don't be afraid to simply ask if you can join your classmates in whatever game or activity they're now engaged in.
     You can do it.
  Matt

• 3．Like many inventions，language translators were imagined by writers long before they became real.In Hugo Gemsback's 1911 novel A Romance of the Year 2660，characters use a video telephone that can translate from one language to another.A language translator also appears in Murray Leinster's 1945 First Contact.In that story，humans and creatures from another planet made a translation device together after asking for contact with one anojye.air.The idea of the language translator didn't become truly popular，however，until the "universal translator" appeared in the 1970 Star Trek series，which delighted television viewers at that time.That device was universal in the sense that it could translate any language that it came across.
     The first real language translator was demonstrated （展示）by engineers from IBM company and Georgetown University in 1954.Their machine could only translate Russian sentences into English.
     Language translators have come a long way since then.Today，online translations can be accessed easily at no cost to users.With translation apps，users sometimes don't even have to look things up.All they need to do is point their cellphone's camera at some writing，and a translation immediately appears.If users want to translate something being said aloud，they just turn on their phone's microphone.All of these features save time and effort.
     Translation apps on phones make foreign travel much easier than before. They are invaluable and convenient when it comes to communicating with taxi drivers or hotel waiters who don't speak a traveler's native language.But these apps are far from perfect.Sometimes a translation makes no sense，forcing the user to guess what the translation means.At other times，the user might not know that the translation has failed until he or she shows it to a native speaker.
  
  （1）When was the idea of the language translator widely known？

  
  A．In 1911.
  B．In 1945.
  C．In 1970.
  D．In 1954.
  （2）We can infer from the text that

  .
  A．writers are usually cleverer than inventors
  B．the idea of a language translator came from science stories
  C．engineers made language translators to delight TV viewers
  D．it took little effort for people to develop language translators
  （3）What does the underlined word "they" refer to in paragraph 4？

  
  A．Translation apps.
  B．Users.
  C．Translations.
  D．Phones.
  （4）How does the writer conclude the text？

  
  A．By telling that online translation will change our life.
  B．By explaining that online translation has its weakness.
  C．By introducing how to use translation apps in travelling.
  D．By discussing why people should give up translation apps.
  （5）What is the best title for the text？

  
  A．How do science stories become true？
  B．Can languages be translated into each other？
  C．How does a language translator develop？
  D．Why do we depend on language translators？

• 4．11 years after the tragedy of Wenchuan，a 6.0 magnitude earthquake hit Sichuan Province again last night.（1）

  He was Wang Hao，who，after Wenchuan，devoted himself to developing China's earthquake early warning system that last night saved hundreds of lives.
     At 22：55 on 17 June，2019，the Continental Earthquake Early Warning Network warned Changning County of Yibin City 10 seconds in advance of the quake hitting the area.（2）

  Among them，the Sichuan capital of Chengdu received early warning 61 seconds in advance.（3）

  
     Besides Chengdu，other citizens in Leshan，Ya'an and Deyang also received the earthquake warning through their TV sets and text messages.
     （4）

  In just a few seconds，many people were saved.People reported that once they received the warning online，they ran out of the building and stayed in the open air，waiting for rescue.Xinhua News reports showed that professional rescue forces reached the spot in about half an hour.
     （5）

  That is all because of the creator of this system，Wang Hao，Director of the Sichuan Key Laboratory of Earthquake Early Warning.Shocked by scenes of the Wenchuan earthquake in 2008，he got the idea of returning home to focus on early warning system research. "Even with just 10 seconds of warning，people have more chances to escape"，he said.
  
  A.People in over 180 schools and 110 communities were able to find shelters in time.
  B.79 counties in Sichuan have already set up TV and mobile phone early warning services.
  C.Unsurprisingly，local netizens found the alarming system "really useful".
  D.This time however，the disaster has found a hero.
  E.As a Sichuan local，we should do something for our hometown.
  F.Why could so many people be saved from injury or even death？
  G.Many other places in Sichuan also received early warnings.
