This is a page turner with complex characters and situations that will make you think hard about friendship, good and evil, betrayal, etc. It is intense and a great book by many measures. On one level, The Kite Runner is the story of two boys in Afghanistan and Afghan immigrants in America. It is a story set in a culture that has become of increasing interest to Americans since the September 11, 2001 attacks. It also explores the history of the rise of the Taliban in Afghanistan. On this level, it provides a good way for people to learn more about Afghan history and culture in the context of the story. Looking at The Kite Runner as a story about culture, however, misses what the book is really about. This is a novel about humanity. This is a story about friendship, loyalty, cruelty, longing for acceptance, redemption, and survival. The core story could be set in any culture because it deals with issues that are universal. The Kite Runner looks at how the main character, Amir, deals with a secret in his past and how that secret shaped who he became. It tells of Amir’s childhood friendship with Hassan, his relationship with his father and growing up in a privileged place in society. I was drawn in by Amir’s voice. I sympathized with him, cheered for him and felt angry with him at different points. Similarly, I became attracted by Hassan and his father. The characters became real to me and it was difficult for me to put the book down and leave their world. I highly recommend this book, especially for book clubs. For those of you who are not in a reading group, read it and then loan it to a friend. You are going to want to talk about it when you finish. 4. The underlined words “a page turner” probably mean that the book is ________. A. abstract B. thrilling C. ridiculous D. tough 5. The greatest charm of The Kite Runner lies in ________. A the beauty of language B. the history of the Taliban C. the reflection of humanity D. the culture of immigrants 6. According to the passage, which of the following is true? A. The story can provide inspiration for readers of various cultures. B. The author always feels sympathy for the main character, Amir. C. The story is set in the September 11, 2001 attacks in America. D. The secret helped Amir to grow up in a privileged place in society. 7. What type of writing is the passage? A. An advertisement of a book. B. An introduction to a book. C. A summary of a book. D. A review of a book. 【答案】4. B 5. C 6. A 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了《追风筝的人》这本书的内容和解读。 【4题详解】 短语猜测题。根据画线词前面一句“The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini is one of the best books I have read in years.(卡勒德·胡赛尼的《追风筝的人》是我多年来读过的最好的书之一。)”可知，作者认为《追风筝的人》是一本好书，结合画线词后面的“with complex characters and situations that will make you think hard about friendship, good and evil, betrayal, etc(有着复杂的人物和情况，会让你认真思考友谊、善与恶、背叛等)”和下面一句“It is intense and a great book by many measures.(从很多方面来看，这本书的感情强烈，是一本好书。)”可知，这本书人物复杂、情节跌宕，能够引起读者深思，里面的感情非常强烈，由此可推测出，a page turner意为“一本扣人心弦的读物”，thrilling意为“扣人心弦的”，符合题意。故选B。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Looking at The Kite Runner as a story about culture, however, misses what the book is really about. This is a novel about humanity. This is a story about friendship, loyalty, cruelty, longing for acceptance, redemption, and survival.(然而，将《追风筝的人》视为一个关于文化的故事，却忽略了这本书的真正意义。这是一部关于人性的小说。这是一个关于友谊、忠诚、残酷、渴望接受、救赎和生存的故事。)”可知，这本书不单单是关于文化，它是一本人性的人说，故事中关乎友谊、忠诚、残酷、渴望接受、救赎和生存，由此可推测出，这本书最大的魅力在于它反映了人性。故选C。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“The core story could be set in any culture because it deals with issues that are universal.(核心故事可以设定在任何文化中，因为它涉及普遍的问题。)”可知，这个故事可以设定在任何文化中，因为它反映了普遍存在的问题，由此可推测出，这个故事可以为不同文化背景的读者提供灵感。故选A。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是根据第一段中的“The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini is one of the best books I have read in years.(卡勒德·胡赛尼的《追风筝的人》是我多年来读过的最好的书之一。)”和最后一段中的“I highly recommend this book, especially for book clubs.(我强烈推荐这本书，尤其是给读书俱乐部。)”可推知，本文应该是一篇书评，讲述了《追风等的人》这本书的故事内容和背后反映的深层意义。故选D。 C The invention of the 1D barcodes revolutionized supermarkets and general market management. But shortly after their introduction, their disadvantages were clear. There was an instant demand to be able to encode (编码) more than 20 alphanumeric characters (字符) that the traditional barcodes could hold. Denso Wave, a Japanese company, at the time, was in the business of manufacturing 1D barcode scanners. Listening to feedback from users of the 1D barcode scanners they were selling, they put together a development team to come up with a solution. One of the key targets was to ensure that no matter what barcode they designed, it can be scanned very fast. It took the team nearly 18 months, and eventually they came up with a barcode that could hold up to 7,000 alphanumerical characters and could be scanned up to 10 times faster than any other code at the time. In 1994, the QR Code was born. The QR Code quickly spread outside of Japan and were approved for many standards globally. But that wasn’t the end of the development of the QR Code. After all, nothing is perfect at its beginning and people soon began to present more requirements to Denso Wave. The variations (变体) of the QR Code were soon developed. One of the biggest reasons why the QR Code has been able to be used widely is that Denso Wave made the decision to make the QR Code publicly available. This means anyone can use it without paying any fees. Denso Wave do hold a patent for the QR Code, but have declared that they have no intention to exercise it. It wasn’t until 2002 that the first smartphones came to market with the QR Code scanner, and this really accelerated the technology. Once widespread on phones, almost anyone can read these codes and doesn’t require expensive hardware to do so. It is believed that Nokia is the first to bring this technology to a mobile device. 8. What is the disadvantage of the 1D barcodes? A. The information they store is too little. B. They sometimes encoded wrong characters. C. They disturbed general market management. D. They could only be used in some supermarkets. 9. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 3 refer to? A. A character. B. A scanner. C. A barcode. D. Denso Wave. 10. What is a reason why the QR Code spreads so quickly? A. It has been protected by a patent. B. The public are permitted to use it for free. C. It has been perfect since its first appearance. D. People have fewer demands for its variations. 11. What is the text mainly about? A. An introduction of the QR Code. B. The disadvantages of the 1D barcodes. C. A famous development team. D. The reasons for developing the QR Code. 【答案】8. A 9. C 10. B 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要讲述二维码的发展历史。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“There was an instant demand to be able to encode (编码) more than 20 alphanumeric characters (字符) that the traditional barcodes could hold. (有一个即时的需求就是，能够编码传统的条形码可以持有的超过20个字母数字字符)”和第三段“It took the team nearly 18 months, and eventually they came up with a barcode that could hold up to 7,000 alphanumerical characters and could be scanned up to 10 times faster than any other code at the time. (研究小组花了将近18个月的时间，最终研制出了一种条形码，它可以容纳7000个字母数字字符，而且扫描速度可以比当时任何其他代码快10倍)”可知，一维条形码的缺点是它们储存的信息太少了。故选A。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段“One of the key targets was to ensure that no matter what barcode they designed, it can be scanned very fast. (其中一个关键目标是确保无论他们设计的条形码是什么，它都能被快速扫描)”可知，it是指上文提到的他们设计的条形码。故选C。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“One of the biggest reasons why the QR Code has been able to be used widely is that Denso Wave made the decision to make the QR Code publicly available. This means anyone can use it without paying any fees. (二维码之所以能够被广泛使用的最大原因之一就是Denso wave决定将二维码公之于众。这意味着任何人都可以免费使用它)”可知，二维码被广泛使用的原因是它的使用是免费的。故选B。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“But shortly after their introduction, their disadvantages were clear. (但是在它们面世之后不久，它们的缺点就显而易见了)”、第二段“Listening to feedback from users of the 1D barcode scanners they were selling, they put together a development team to come up with a solution. (他们听取了正在销售的一维条形码扫描仪用户的反馈意见，组建了一个开发团队，要提出一个解决方案)”、第三段“In 1994, the QR Code was born. (1994年，二维码诞生了)”和最后一段“It wasn’t until 2002 that the first smartphones came to market with the QR Code scanner, and this really accelerated the technology. (直到2002年，第一款智能手机才带着二维码扫描仪进入市场，这确实加速了这项技术的发展)”可知，文章主要介绍了二维码的形成和发展历史。故选A。 D Great Smoky Mountains National Park lies on both sides of the border between North Carolina and Tennessee. Its highest peak is called “Clingmans Dome”. But before it got that name, the Cherokee people called the mountain “Kuwahi”. It sits on ancestral Cherokee homelands. Since the ancient times, the landscape, including mountains and streams, has shaped the history of Cherokee people. They used that name for hundreds of years. Now, tribal members are hoping to return to the Kuwahi name. The Cherokee Nation once spread across what is now Georgia, North Carolina, Tennessee and Alabama. In 1838, the tribe was forcibly relocated to present-day Oklahoma—in what was later known as the “Trail of Tears”. Through sickness and terrible travel conditions, nearly 4,000 Cherokee people died during the forced removal from their homeland. Some Cherokee managed to avoid relocation to Oklahoma by going into hiding, including on Kuwahi. “We’re here today because our ancestors hid in those mountains, specifically in Kuwahi,” Hill said. The name change of the Cherokee’s mountain came in 1859, when geographer and professor Arnold Henry Guyot labeled Kuwahi “Clingmans Dome”. The peak was named after Thomas Lanier Clingman, who was a strong supporter of slavery. Clingman was not connected to the Cherokee people in any way. “Naming the mountain after Clingman erases everything that the Cherokee people are in order to rename it after someone with zero ties to our community. He didn’t even live here,” said Hill. In June 2022, Yellowstone National Park’s Mount Doane was renamed to First Peoples Mountain. “That was a huge victory for our brothers and sisters,” Hill said. “I hope it’s just the beginning of accurately recognizing and honoring numerous historically significant sites for tribes and native people nationwide. There were so many places that were special and important to native people prior to colonization. I want to be the voice for my people, for my ancestors.” 12. What do the Cherokee people intend to do according to Paragraph 1? A. Save their language. B. Go back to their homeland Kuwahi. C. Reshape their history. D. Change the name back to “Kuwahi”. 13. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about? A. The sad history of the Cherokee people. B. The sheltering place for the Cherokee people. C. The causes of the decrease of the Cherokee people. D. The traveling route of the ancient Cherokee Nation. 14. What does Hill think of “Clingmans Dome”? A. It is related to the culture of the Cherokee people. B. It reminds the Cherokee people of their ancestors. C. It removes everything about the Cherokee history. D. It reflects the slave position of the Cherokee people. 15. What does Hill actually mean in the last paragraph? A. To add great honor to her ancestors. B. To make his homeland well-known. C. To express the opinions of her people. D. To name more historically significant sites. 【答案】12. D 13. A 14. C 15. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了切罗基人打算把大烟山国家公园最高峰的名字改回来，并讲述了切罗基人的悲惨历史。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“But before it got that name, the Cherokee people called the mountain “Kuwahi”. It sits on ancestral Cherokee homelands. Since the ancient times, the landscape, including mountains and streams, has shaped the history of Cherokee people. They used that name for hundreds of years. Now, tribal members are hoping to return to the Kuwahi name.(在得名之前，切罗基人称这座山为“Kuwahi”。它坐落在切罗基人祖先的家园上。自古以来，包括山川在内的地貌就塑造了切罗基人的历史。他们用这个名字几百年了。现在，部落成员希望恢复Kuwahi的名字)”可知，切罗基人打算改回“Kuwahi”。故选D。 【13题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“The Cherokee Nation once spread across what is now Georgia, North Carolina, Tennessee and Alabama. In 1838, the tribe was forcibly relocated to present-day Oklahoma—in what was later known as the “Trail of Tears”. Through sickness and terrible travel conditions, nearly 4,000 Cherokee people died during the forced removal from their homeland. Some Cherokee managed to avoid relocation to Oklahoma by going into hiding, including on Kuwahi. “We’re here today because our ancestors hid in those mountains, specifically in Kuwahi,” Hill said.(切罗基民族曾经分布在现在的佐治亚州、北卡罗来纳州、田纳西州和阿拉巴马州。1838年，这个部落被强行迁移到今天的俄克拉荷马州，也就是后来被称为“血泪之路”的地方。由于疾病和恶劣的旅行条件，近4000名切罗基人在被迫离开家园的过程中死亡。一些切诺基人设法避免搬迁到俄克拉何马州，躲藏起来，包括在Kuwahi。希尔说：“我们今天在这里，是因为我们的祖先躲在那些山上，特别是在库瓦希)”可知，第二段主要讲了切罗基人的悲惨历史。故选A。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中““Naming the mountain after Clingman erases everything that the Cherokee people are in order to rename it after someone with zero ties to our community. He didn’t even live here,” said Hill.(希尔说：“以克林曼的名字命名这座山抹杀了切罗基人的一切，以一个与我们社区毫无关系的人的名字重新命名它。他甚至都不住在这里。”)”可知，希尔认为“克林曼斯穹顶”删除了关于切罗基人历史的一切。故选C。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“In June 2022, Yellowstone National Park’s Mount Doane was renamed to First Peoples Mountain. “That was a huge victory for our brothers and sisters,” Hill said. “I hope it’s just the beginning of accurately recognizing and honoring numerous historically significant sites for tribes and native people nationwide. There were so many places that were special and important to native people prior to colonization. I want to be the voice for my people, for my ancestors.”(2022年6月，黄石国家公园的多恩山更名为第一人民山。希尔说:“这是我们兄弟姐妹的巨大胜利。我希望这只是一个开始，准确地认识和尊重全国部落和土著人民的众多历史重要遗址。在殖民之前，有很多地方对当地人来说是特别和重要的。我想为我的人民，为我的祖先发声。”)”可推知，希尔在最后一段想表达她的人民的意见。故选C。 第二节（共5小题；每题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Many of us spent our childhoods dreaming of becoming astronauts. However the hard reality is that only a select few will make it. ____16____Not necessarily. In fact, some of the space jobs are not only for astronauts and they all sound just as cool. One of the most interesting space jobs that you may have never heard of is “chief sniffer（嗅探员）”. NASA has already hired a chief sniffer named George Aldrich, whose job is to smell materials before they are used in spacecrafts. ____17____A spacecraft is of limited size and relatively high temperature, which makes smells stronger inside of it. “Once a spacecraft is launched, astronauts have no way of escaping unpleasant smells,”Aldrich told The Telegraph. More importantly, smelling objects can help identify dangerous chemicals that could threaten astronauts' health. Another job, the “space tour guide” , may seem a little ahead of its time - after all,what's the point of hiring a tour guide when there aren't any tourists there? But now, many private companies are starting to provide space trips, and wealthy space enthusiasts such as Justin Bieber and Sarah Brightman have already signed up for tours. ____18____ Being a space tour guide requires rich knowledge of astronomy, astrophysics, geography and history to help passengers get the most out of their journey.____19____ Astronauts often spend weeks or even months in a small capsule with the same group of people,which is why a “space psychologist” is also needed to help astronauts overcome mental challenges, like feeling bored and lonely. Rohit Talwar, chief executive of US company Fast Future Research, said, “___20___Things we've seen in the past in movies are now becoming real career opportunities. ” A. But does that mean you'll never get the chance to work in space? B. Modern astronauts feel less helpless when working as a group. C. It is impossible that normal people will be able to be a space travel. D. It may not be long before space becomes a top travel destination. E. Tour guides also need to be good storytellers to help space travel. F. We're crossing the boundaries between science fiction and reality. G. Using your nose at work sounds a little strange, but the job is very important. 【答案】16. A 17. G 18. D 19. E 20. F 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了三种除了宇航员之外在太空的工作岗位。 【16题详解】 根据前文“However, the hard reality is that only a select few will make it.（然而，艰难的现实是，只有少数人会成功。）”可知，成为宇航员很困难。以及后文“Not necessarily.（不一定。）”可知，空格处是一个问题，后句是对空格处的回答。A选项“But does that mean you'll never get the chance to work in space?（但这是否意味着你永远没有机会在太空工作?）”符合题意，故选A。 【17题详解】 根据后文“A spacecraft is of limited size and relatively high temperature, which makes smells stronger inside of it.（宇宙飞船体积有限，温度也相对较高，这使得飞船内部的气味更强烈。）”可知，这是强调首席嗅探员这个工作岗位的重要性。G选项“Using your nose at work sounds a little strange, but the job is very important.（在工作时用鼻子听起来有点奇怪，但这项工作非常重要。）”符合题意，故选G。 【18题详解】 根据前文“But now, many private companies are starting to provide space trips, and wealthy space enthusiasts such as Justin Bieber and Sarah Brightman have already signed up for tours.（但现在，许多私人公司开始提供太空旅行，贾斯汀·比伯(Justin Bieber)和莎拉·布莱曼(Sarah Brightman)等富有的太空爱好者已经签约参加太空旅行。）”可知，太空旅行越来越盛行。D选项“It may not be long before space becomes a top travel destination.（也许不久太空就会成为一个顶级旅游目的地。）”符合题意，故选D。 【19题详解】 根据前文“Being a space tour guide requires rich knowledge of astronomy, astrophysics, geography and history to help passengers get the most out of their journey.（作为一名太空导游需要丰富的天文学、天体物理学、地理学和历史知识，以帮助乘客充分利用他们的旅程。）”可知，本段介绍的是成为一名太空导游的高要求。E选项“Tour guides also need to be good storytellers to help space travel.（导游还需要是很好的故事讲述者来帮助太空旅行。）”符合题意，故选E。 【20题详解】 根据后文“Things we've seen in the past in movies are now becoming real career opportunities.（过去我们在电影中看到的东西现在正在成为真正的职业机会。）”可知，首席执行官罗希特·塔尔瓦尔讲述的是科学家们正致力于是科幻小说中的变为现实。F选项“We're crossing the boundaries between science fiction and reality.（我们正在跨越科幻小说和现实之间的边界。）”符合题意，故选F。 第二部分 知识运用（共两节，满分45分） 第一节（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。 On Monday, May 9, James Givens, a police officer in Cincinnati, Ohio, was sitting in his panda car.

B The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini is one of the best books I have read in years. This is a page turner with complex characters and situations that will make you think hard about friendship, good and evil, betrayal, etc. It is intense and a great book by many measures. On one level, The Kite Runner is the story of two boys in Afghanistan and Afghan immigrants in America. It is a story set in a culture that has become of increasing interest to Americans since the September 11, 2001 attacks. It also explores the history of the rise of the Taliban in Afghanistan. On this level, it provides a good way for people to learn more about Afghan history and culture in the context of the story. Looking at The Kite Runner as a story about culture, however, misses what the book is really about. This is a novel about humanity. This is a story about friendship, loyalty, cruelty, longing for acceptance, redemption, and survival. The core story could be set in any culture because it deals with issues that are universal. The Kite Runner looks at how the main character, Amir, deals with a secret in his past and how that secret shaped who he became. It tells of Amir’s childhood friendship with Hassan, his relationship with his father and growing up in a privileged place in society. I was drawn in by Amir’s voice. I sympathized with him, cheered for him and felt angry with him at different points. Similarly, I became attracted by Hassan and his father. The characters became real to me and it was difficult for me to put the book down and leave their world. I highly recommend this book, especially for book clubs. For those of you who are not in a reading group, read it and then loan it to a friend. You are going to want to talk about it when you finish. 4. The underlined words “a page turner” probably mean that the book is ________. A. abstract B. thrilling C. ridiculous D. tough 5. The greatest charm of The Kite Runner lies in ________. A. the beauty of language B. the history of the Taliban C. the reflection of humanity D. the culture of immigrants 6. According to the passage, which of the following is true? A. The story can provide inspiration for readers of various cultures. B. The author always feels sympathy for the main character, Amir. C. The story is set in the September 11, 2001 attacks in America. D. The secret helped Amir to grow up in a privileged place in society. 7. What type of writing is the passage? A. An advertisement of a book. B. An introduction to a book. C. A summary of a book. D. A review of a book. C The invention of the 1D barcodes revolutionized supermarkets and general market management. But shortly after their introduction, their disadvantages were clear. There was an instant demand to be able to encode (编码) more than 20 alphanumeric characters (字符) that the traditional barcodes could hold. Denso Wave, a Japanese company, at the time, was in the business of manufacturing 1D barcode scanners. Listening to feedback from users of the 1D barcode scanners they were selling, they put together a development team to come up with a solution. One of the key targets was to ensure that no matter what barcode they designed, it can be scanned very fast. It took the team nearly 18 months, and eventually they came up with a barcode that could hold up to 7,000 alphanumerical characters and could be scanned up to 10 times faster than any other code at the time. In 1994, the QR Code was born. The QR Code quickly spread outside of Japan and were approved for many standards globally. But that wasn’t the end of the development of the QR Code. After all, nothing is perfect at its beginning and people soon began to present more requirements to Denso Wave. The variations (变体) of the QR Code were soon developed. One of the biggest reasons why the QR Code has been able to be used widely is that Denso Wave made the decision to make the QR Code publicly available. This means anyone can use it without paying any fees. Denso Wave do hold a patent for the QR Code, but have declared that they have no intention to exercise it. It wasn’t until 2002 that the first smartphones came to market with the QR Code scanner, and this really accelerated the technology. Once widespread on phones, almost anyone can read these codes and doesn’t require expensive hardware to do so. It is believed that Nokia is the first to bring this technology to a mobile device. 8. What is the disadvantage of the 1D barcodes? A. The information they store is too little. B. They sometimes encoded wrong characters. C. They disturbed general market management. D. They could only be used in some supermarkets. 9. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 3 refer to? A. A character. B. A scanner. C. A barcode. D. Denso Wave. 10. What is a reason why the QR Code spreads so quickly? A. It has been protected by a patent. B. The public are permitted to use it for free. C. It has been perfect since its first appearance. D People have fewer demands for its variations. 11. What is the text mainly about? A. An introduction of the QR Code. B. The disadvantages of the 1D barcodes. C. A famous development team. D. The reasons for developing the QR Code. D Great Smoky Mountains National Park lies on both sides of the border between North Carolina and Tennessee. Its highest peak is called “Clingmans Dome”. But before it got that name, the Cherokee people called the mountain “Kuwahi”. It sits on ancestral Cherokee homelands. Since the ancient times, the landscape, including mountains and streams, has shaped the history of Cherokee people. They used that name for hundreds of years. Now, tribal members are hoping to return to the Kuwahi name. The Cherokee Nation once spread across what is now Georgia, North Carolina, Tennessee and Alabama. In 1838, the tribe was forcibly relocated to present-day Oklahoma—in what was later known as the “Trail of Tears”. Through sickness and terrible travel conditions, nearly 4,000 Cherokee people died during the forced removal from their homeland. Some Cherokee managed to avoid relocation to Oklahoma by going into hiding, including on Kuwahi. “We’re here today because our ancestors hid in those mountains, specifically in Kuwahi,” Hill said. The name change of the Cherokee’s mountain came in 1859, when geographer and professor Arnold Henry Guyot labeled Kuwahi “Clingmans Dome”. The peak was named after Thomas Lanier Clingman, who was a strong supporter of slavery. Clingman was not connected to the Cherokee people in any way. “Naming the mountain after Clingman erases everything that the Cherokee people are in order to rename it after someone with zero ties to our community. He didn’t even live here,” said Hill. In June 2022, Yellowstone National Park’s Mount Doane was renamed to First Peoples Mountain. “That was a huge victory for our brothers and sisters,” Hill said. “I hope it’s just the beginning of accurately recognizing and honoring numerous historically significant sites for tribes and native people nationwide. There were so many places that were special and important to native people prior to colonization. I want to be the voice for my people, for my ancestors.” 12. What do the Cherokee people intend to do according to Paragraph 1? A. Save their language. B. Go back to their homeland Kuwahi. C. Reshape their history. D. Change the name back to “Kuwahi”. 13. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about? A. The sad history of the Cherokee people. B. The sheltering place for the Cherokee people. C. The causes of the decrease of the Cherokee people. D. The traveling route of the ancient Cherokee Nation. 14. What does Hill think of “Clingmans Dome”? A It is related to the culture of the Cherokee people. B. It reminds the Cherokee people of their ancestors. C. It removes everything about the Cherokee history. D. It reflects the slave position of the Cherokee people. 15. What does Hill actually mean in the last paragraph? A. To add great honor to her ancestors. B. To make his homeland well-known. C. To express the opinions of her people. D. To name more historically significant sites. 第二节（共5小题；每题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Many of us spent our childhoods dreaming of becoming astronauts. However, the hard reality is that only a select few will make it. ____16____Not necessarily. In fact, some of the space jobs are not only for astronauts and they all sound just as cool. One of the most interesting space jobs that you may have never heard of is “chief sniffer（嗅探员）”. NASA has already hired a chief sniffer named George Aldrich, whose job is to smell materials before they are used in spacecrafts. ____17____A spacecraft is of limited size and relatively high temperature, which makes smells stronger inside of it. “Once a spacecraft is launched, astronauts have no way of escaping unpleasant smells,”Aldrich told The Telegraph. More importantly, smelling objects can help identify dangerous chemicals that could threaten astronauts' health.
