Death Valley is the hottest and the driest place in North America. Death Valley isn’t an easy place to live in. It gets less than two feet of rain a year and it’s hot, too. In July, temperature often reaches over 46℃. There is even a lake that has turned into salt crystals (晶体). But it is cold at night. When it gets cold enough, the water on the ground will turn into very thin ice. Then the strong wind — like a large hand — can move the rocks along the icy ground. That is why the rocks can “walk” on their own in Death Valley. Although the weather condition in Death Valley is terrible, there is still filled with lives. Nothing can stop plants and animals from making it their home. People have found more than 1,000 kinds of plants there. It also has 51 kinds of mammals (哺乳动物), 6 kinds of fish, and more than 300 kinds of birds. The animals aren’t all small, either. Finding water is the biggest challenge for anything that lives here. Some plants have roots (根部) that go fifty feet under the ground to find water. Kangaroo rats get the water they need from flowers. Death Valley really creates a lot of surprising! 51. Death Valley gets ________ of rain a year. A. two feet B. fifty-one feet C. at least two feet D. less than two feet 52. The most difficult thing in Death Valley is to find ________. A. water B. food C. animals D. plants 53. The underlined word “it” in the third paragraph refers to (指代) “________”. A. a lake B. Death Valley C. the strong wind D. the weather condition 54. From the passage, we can infer (推断) that ________. A. the writer dislikes Death Valley B. some animals are large in Death Valley C. the plants do not have long roots D. Rocks sometimes move in the afternoon 55. What is the best title of this passage? A. The hard life in Death Valley B. A dangerous place — Death Valley C The facts about Death Valley D. Moving rocks in Death Valley 【答案】51. D 52. A 53. B 54. B 55. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了死亡谷的气候以及生存在这里的动植物。 【51题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“It gets less than two feet of rain a year and it’s hot, too.”可知，死亡谷一年的降雨量不到两英尺。故选D。 【52题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Finding water is the biggest challenge for anything that lives here.”可知，在死亡谷最难的事情就是找到水，故选A。 【53题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第三段中的“Nothing can stop plants and animals from making it their home.”可知，it应指代前面提到过的事物，且为一个地方。结合前文“Although the weather condition in Death Valley is terrible, there is still filled with lives.”可知，it指代的应是Death Valley，故选B。 【54题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“The animals aren’t all small, either.”可知，在死亡谷的动物也不全是小动物，即：死亡谷里有些动物很大。故选B。 【55题详解】 最佳标题题。通读全文可知，文章主要介绍了死亡谷的气候以及生存在这里的动植物，即：关于死亡谷的事实。故选C。 C Zang Chaiyuan has recently been working deep into the night because people are lined up for her steamed buns (馒头). The 25-year-old girl from Yantai, Shandong Province, has turned flour (面粉) into a gold mine (矿) by putting modern elements (元素) into “Jiaodong huabobo”, a popular traditional food dating back more than 300 years. Huabobo is a flower-shaped steamed bun, which has been a treat at many folk (民俗) activities, such as celebrations and festivals. Zang shaped huabobo by hand. And these shapes change from cute rabbits dressed in lion dance costumes to treasure bowls and lucky bags, among others. Although Zang did a good job on humbobo, her parents believed that young people should find a steady (稳定的) job. They even thought huabobo was better for more elderly women to make. However, she still kept making huabobo. After Lang graduated from the Yantai University in 2018, she had an idea to start up her own business. She loved huabobo in her childhood. “My grandmother used to make huabobo. They were in all kinds of shapes, which were very beautiful ,” Zang says. She then set her eyes on huabobo at the beginning of 2020. At first, she learned from an experienced huabobo master about the basic skills and then practiced over and over again on her own. It did’t take long before Zang got the whole process down to a fine art. With a little more than 10, 000 yuan of her own savings, Zang opened her small huabobo shop in Yantai. Many of her followers came to buy her huabobo and praised that they are too cute to be eaten. Zang has held training classes at her shops and shot a video for those that live far away. “Many have shown great interest in picking up huabobo skills, especially women who have just become mothers,” she says. “I love traditional Chinese culture and I believe that this art work is worth spreading.” 56. What do we know about Jiaodong huabobo? A. It’s a kind of traditional flowed. B. It first appeared over 300 years ago. C. It’s always in the shape of an animal. D. It’s better for the elderly women to make. 57 Zang learned the basic skills of making huabobo by ________. A. watching the videos. B. asking her grandmother for help. C. practing on her own. D. learning from an experienced master. 58. According to the passage, we can infer that ________. A. Zang keeps making huabobo because of her love for it. B. Zang’s parents thought highly of Zang’s job. C. Many people buy huabobo but they don’t like to eat it. D. People must take the training classes before buying Zhang’s huabobo. 59. What does the underlined sentence mean? A. It took Zang a long time to learn the skills. B. The whole process is too difficult for Zang. C. Zang became an art student after practicing the process. D. Zang learned quickly and could make huabobo very well. 60. The passage is mainly written about ________. A. why a girl is so good at making Jiaodong huabobo B. how a young girl learned to make huabobo C. how a girl spreads traditional culture by making huabobo D. what influence a girl brings to young mothers 【答案】56. B 57. D 58. A 59. D 60.

It can help increase the sleeping time and reduce depression (沮丧). Doctors advise teenagers to sleep 8 to 10 hours each night. But it is difficult for them to get this. As a result, about 40 percent of all young people will experience a serious sleep problem by early high school, which increases their risk of developing mental (精神健康的) illnesses. Werner-Seidler, a sleep expert, said those using the app set a time to be up in the morning to make it to school or other activities. From there, it works backwards.deciding when they should be in bed. The app gives an alarm to start a pre-bed routine (惯例). It starts at least an hour before bed time. Part of this routine is to put the phone away, and do something more conducive to sleep. Some of this is simply to relax yourself, like having a shower, cleaning teeth and reading a book. The app also helps users reduce those repeated bad thoughts that come to mind at night. “During the test of Sleep Ninja, 90 percent of users showed some improvement in sleep difficulties and 60 percent reported improvement in sleep quality,” Werner-Seidler said. “We also saw rates (比率) of depression drop from 77 percent at the start of the study to 44 percent after using the app.” 61.

Death Valley is the hottest and the driest place in North America. Death Valley isn’t an easy place to live in. It gets less than two feet of rain a year and it’s hot too. In July, temperature often reaches over 46℃. There is even a lake that has turned into salt crystals (晶体). But it is cold at night. When it gets cold enough, the water on the ground will turn into very thin ice. Then the strong wind — like a large hand — can move the rocks along the icy ground. That is why the rocks can “walk” on their own in Death Valley. Although the weather condition in Death Valley is terrible, there is still filled with lives. Nothing can stop plants and animals from making it their home. People have found more than 1,000 kinds of plants there. It also has 51 kinds of mammals (哺乳动物), 6 kinds of fish, and more than 300 kinds of birds. The animals aren’t all small, either. Finding water is the biggest challenge for anything that lives here. Some plants have roots (根部) that go fifty feet under the ground to find water. Kangaroo rats get the water they need from flowers. Death Valley really creates a lot of surprising! 51. Death Valley gets ________ of rain a year. A. two feet B. fifty-one feet C. at least two feet D. less than two feet 52. The most difficult thing in Death Valley is to find ________.

The 25-year-old girl from Yantai, Shandong Province, has turned flour (面粉) into a gold mine (矿) by putting modern elements (元素) into “Jiaodong huabobo”, a popular traditional food dating back more than 300 years. Huabobo is a flower-shaped steamed bun, which has been a treat at many folk (民俗) activities, such as celebrations and festivals. Zang shaped huabobo by hand. And these shapes change from cute rabbits dressed in lion dance costumes to treasure bowls and lucky bags, among others. Although Zang did a good job on humbobo, her parents believed that young people should find a steady (稳定的) job. They even thought huabobo was better for more elderly women to make. However, she still kept making huabobo. After Lang graduated from the Yantai University in 2018, she had an idea to start up her own business. She loved huabobo in her childhood. “My grandmother used to make huabobo. They were in all kinds of shapes, which were very beautiful ,” Zang says.

It did’t take long before Zang got the whole process down to a fine art. With a little more than 10, 000 yuan of her own savings, Zang opened her small huabobo shop in Yantai. Many of her followers came to buy her huabobo and praised that they are too cute to be eaten. Zang has held training classes at her shops and shot a video for those that live far away. “Many have shown great interest in picking up huabobo skills, especially women who have just become mothers,” she says. “I love traditional Chinese culture and I believe that this art work is worth spreading.” 56.

Werner-Seidler, a sleep expert, said those using the app set a time to be up in the morning to make it to school or other activities. From there, it works backwards.deciding when they should be in bed. The app gives an alarm to start a pre-bed routine (惯例). It starts at least an hour before bed time. Part of this routine is to put the phone away, and do something more conducive to sleep. Some of this is simply to relax yourself, like having a shower, cleaning teeth and reading a book. The app also helps users reduce those repeated bad thoughts that come to mind at night. “During the test of Sleep Ninja, 90 percent of users showed some improvement in sleep difficulties and 60 percent reported improvement in sleep quality,” Werner-Seidler said. “We also saw rates (比率) of depression drop from 77 percent at the start of the study to 44 percent after using the app.” 61.
