第二部分 阅读(共两节，满分50分)

A
Gear for Sleeping Outdoors
Whether you’re camping or backpacking, how can you increase the odds (n.机会) that you’ll sleep soundly in the outdoors A good start is to have the right gear:
Sleeping bag: Choose a sleeping bag with a style and temperature rating (n.等级，级别) appropriate for your destination.
·Car camping bags are typically cut wider, offering homelike and more roll-around room but less efficiency for retaining body heat (not so good on extra-chilly nights).Some rectangular (adj.长方形的) styles can be unzipped (adj.未拉上拉链的) to use as a quilt on milder nights.
·Backpacking bags are mummy shaped for a closer, warmer fit, and are usually lighter in weight. Many are filled with goose or duck down, which compresses (v.压缩) more readily than synthetic( adj.合成的) fill.
Sleeping pad: There are three types of sleeping pads—self-inflating (adj.充气的), air and closed-cell foam (n.泡沫塑料). When car camping, weight is not an issue, so you can enjoy a thicker, wider pad or mattress for comfort. When backpacking, weight is crucial, so a super-lightweight air pad or closed-cell pad may be your first choice.
Pillows: Bring one from home or use a small foam or inflatable camp pillow. Some sleeping bags have a pocket to hold a pillow or folded up clothing, such as a down jacket or fleece sweater.
Eye mask and earplugs: Eye masks are especially helpful when camping in northern latitudes (n.纬度) in summer or in campgrounds with surrounding light. Earplugs block out noises ranging from your tent mate’s snoring to rustling sounds in the bushes.
21. Why do people choose car camping bags
A. They have goose or duck down fill.
B. They are easy to carry in a car.
C. They are more comfortable.
D. They are good for retaining body weight.
22. What kind of sleeping pad can people choose when backpacking
A. a wider pad. B. Closed-cell pad.
C. a thicker pad. D. Super-heavyweight air pad.
23. What do people use the earplugs for
A. Blocking out noises from tent mate’s snoring.
B. Reducing noises from the wild animals.
C. Stopping the ambient light.
D. Protecting the ears from being hurt by the rustling sounds.
B
Sam Krug is the second generation at Preferred Popcorn, a Nebraska (n.内布拉斯加州) factory that produces Americans favorite movie snack. Here fresh batches of popcorn are made every 15 minutes and immediately tested and tasted for quality.
The whole process begins with growing the right kind of corn, not surprisingly cold popcorn. The big difference between corn and popcorn is that popcorn has lots of starch (n.淀粉) inside of it. The shell is hard and so the starch, when you heat it up, mixes with the moisture in the kernel (n.玉米粒) and it boils inside of this. And it gets so hot and the shell is so hard on the outside that it gets hotter and hotter and more excited and more excited and eventually it just blows out.
Nebraska has perfect conditions for growing popcorn, including the right climate and plenty of water for irrigation. And you don’t have to look far to find local farmers to work with. They usually take it to the factory where the kernels are sorted by weight, color and size.
Factory staffs pop a sample of each batch to test it out. They always pop at 480 degrees and use exactly the same amount of oil when they are going to pop. During the course, factory standard coconut (n.椰子) oil is used.
The factory sells kernels for different kinds of popcorn, depending on how the buyer plans to prepare it. It seems that the Americans eat more popcorn than any other nation in the world. And the US Popcorn Board says that in 2018 they consumed more than 14 billion liters of the snack.
24. What do we know about Preferred Popcorn
A. It is the second generation popcorn factory.
B. It produces fresh batches of popcorn every 15 minutes
C. It tests and tastes the quality of popcorns.
D. It produces popcorns for the Nebraska movie factory.
25. Why does the popcorn blow out when heated
A. Because it has lots of starch inside of it.
B. Because the starch and moisture boils inside the hard shell.
C. Because the shell is hard.
D. Because it is cold popcorn.
26. What can we infer from the last paragraph
A. The factory has already known the consumers’ plan.
B. The factory makes preparations for the buyers.
C. The factory sells kernels for different kinds of popcorns according to the workers’ needs.
D. The factory takes different consumers’ demand into consideration.
27. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Production of the popcorns.
B. Reasons for Nebraska to grow popcorns
C. Procedures for growing the popcorn
D. Conditions for making popcorns.
C
There is growing evidence to show that our past knowledge about Mars was not always the case. Now European researchers say they have discovered the first evidence of a huge groundwater system that once existed below the planet’s surface.
Anew study was carried out by Francesco Salese and his team, who studied images of 24 deep craters (n.弹坑) in the northern half of the Red Planet. These pictures were captured by ESA’s Mars Express orbiter (n.宇宙飞船), which was launched in 2003. The study provides the first geological proof that Mars once had a “planet-wide groundwater system.”
According to Salese, scientific evidence already suggests Mars was once a watery world. His team says the images showed that large amounts of successive groundwater activity connected the areas they studied. Evidence of basins and coastlines was also found on the surface of Mars, supporting the idea that water was once present. He added that all the basins seemed to reach about the same height.
Scientists have yet to find out what happened to all that water. And the complex history of water on Mars has linked to whether or not life ever existed on it. During the latest study, researchers also discovered evidence of minerals within some of the identified (adj.被识别的) bodies of water.
The researchers say the findings adds weight to the idea that the water basins on Mars may have once held the materials required to support life. Some of this material could still be buried on Mars, providing possible evidence of life during future exploration. Francesco Salese believes the latest findings could also help us learn new things about our own planet.
28. What can we infer about our past knowledge of Mars
A. It had no water.
B. It had no groundwater.
C. It had a great groundwater system.
D. It had water on the surface of the planet.
29. Where can you find the evidence that Mars once had a “planet-wide groundwater system”
A. In paragraph 3. B. In paragraph 2.
C. In paragraph 1. D. In paragraph 4.
30. Which of the following best explains “successive” underlined in paragraph 3
A. complicated B. brilliant C. continuous D. incredible
31. What is the main idea of the text
A. Evidence of water on Mars enables us learn new things about the earth
B. Our past knowledge about Mars was incorrect.
C. Evidence of life could be revealed by the discovery of water on Mars.
D. The ever existence of groundwater system on Mars was discovered.
D
Secrets, whether they’re juicy, shocking or just plain funny, nothing compares to the thrill of opening up or listening to a friend’s confession (n.坦白). When a pal bares his heart to you, you can’t help but feel trusted and special. In fact, you’re a lot more likely now to tell him something you wouldn’t tell just anyone. When you’re first getting to know a new friend, start with small secrets.
No secret is ever 100 water-proof, but you can take steps to prevent getting your feelings hurt. First, when something you’re telling a friend is a secret, always say so. Every time when you share something confidential (adj.保密的), tell her that this is “for your ears only.” Also, don’t assume (v.假定,认为) someone will keep your secrets just because you know some of hers. Some people just have a tendency to blurt things out, which is why it pays to get a feel for how good a secret-keeper your friend is. Finally, make sure you get a reputation as someone who takes secrets seriously.
It’s not worth breaking a promise to a friend, but if a secret is too big for you to carry alone, you have a responsibility to tell someone. There are probably a few details about your life that you don’t feel like sharing, even with your closest friends. If the secret isn’t hurting you or your friendship, silence is golden. If you’re hiding something big and constantly worrying about your secret being leaked, it may be time to just spill (v.溢出) your beans. Taking control of a secret that’s eating you up inside isn’t easy.
So it seems clear that knowing when to let the secret out and when to zip your lips will help you a lot.
32. What is the purpose of the writer to mention a pal in the text
A. To tell people when it’s okay to share a secret with someone.
B. To tell people how to gain others’ trust.
C. To tell people why he bares his heart to you.
D. To tell people who is the right people to express your heart.
33. Which of the following best explains “blurt out” underlined in paragraph 2
A. Speak out without thinking.
B. Badmouth somebody.
C. Let out a secret.
D. Keep a secret.
34. What does the text suggest you do when the secret is big and keeps making you worried
A. Keep it silently.
B. Let the secret out.
C. Share the secret with your closest friend.
D. Take control of the secret.
35. What is the text mainly about
A. Tips to know when to give away secrets
B. It’s always okay to tell a secret you promised to keep.
C. How to be successful with different secrets.
D. When to spill secrets

阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
An undersea tunnel (n.隧道) of a high-speed railway was completed in South China on Friday, 56 (set) a new record in the construction of high-speed railway tunnels in China.
The Zhanjiang Bay (湛江湾) Undersea Tunnel, a key project of the Guangzhou-Zhanjiang High-speed Railway, 57 (complete) after 33 months of construction, marking a significant milestone in the construction of the new railway.
The Zhanjiang Bay Undersea Tunnel spans (v.横跨) 58 total length of 9,640 meters. It is designed as a single tunnel with double tracks, crossing the seabed of the Zhanjiang Bay and the urban area of Zhanjiang. It crosses a 2,500-meter sea section and a 5,051-meter section of land. 59 (especial), the tunnel is China’s 60 (long) single-headed undersea high-speed railway shield tunnel (盾构隧道), showcasing the country’s remarkable engineering techniques.
“Single-headed shield (单头盾构) refers to the method of using a single tunnel boring machine (隧道掘进机) 61 (dig) continuously from one end to the other,” said Yin Yihao, an engineer from China Railway’s 14th Bureau Group, which was responsible for the tunnel’s construction. Yin added that the traditional methods were not applied in the Zhanjiang Bay Undersea Tunnel due to the complicated geological conditions and 62 the single-headed shield tunnel was 63 (safe) and more efficient in this case.
Wu Chunzhao, a senior engineer of the China Railway Design Company, 64 (explain) the reason for building an undersea tunnel instead of a bridge. “Building a tunnel preserves (v.保护) the beautiful urban skyline of the Zhanjiang Bay, 65 avoids the impact of the project on the marine (adj.海洋的) ecological environment,” he said. Wu also noted (v.指出) that a bridge will affect the large ships’ navigation, but the tunnel will not do this.
The tunnel is a key project of a high-speed railway linking Guangzhou and Zhanjiang in Guangdong.

【解析】
【原文】M: What are you looking for all over the ground Are you looking for rubbish to pick up
W: I’m looking for some of our local mushrooms. I saw pictures recently of some really cool looking ones. They grow on the ground or on some trees.
M: You’re not going to try and cook them, are you
W: No. I think they would be a good subject for me to practice my ink drawing. I needed a subject for my next art school project.
M: That makes sense. There are probably a lot of them out during this time of year. I’ve never liked to eat mushrooms, though. My mother loves them. When I lived at home, she would always make mushroom soup.
W: I love mushrooms. They’re so interesting. I learned that the mushrooms we see are often one single creature that is all connected underground. Not only that, but they are very good nutrition for the areas that they grow in.
M: That’s interesting. I think bamboo grass is very similar in the way that it grows. Most bamboo is all connected by a single root system. This makes it very hard to get rid of if you wanted to plant something else.
W: I didn’t know that, but it makes sense. I know bamboo can grow very fast. I think here in New Jersey, you need to get a permit in order to plant bamboo. It’s probably because of how difficult it is to control.
