B SAREK NATIONAL PARK- EUROPE'S HIDDEN NATURAL TREASURE A Summer Where the Sun Never Sleeps I wake up to the sound of the wind buffeting the cloth of my tent.Even though the sun is brightly shining,telling whether it is morning or night is impossible.I'm above the Arctic Circle,where in summer the sun never sets.Checking my watch,I see that it is 7:30 a.m.I leave my tent and walk over to the mountain edge.Spreading out before me,branches of the Rapa River flow through the valleybelow.I'm in the remote far north of Sweden in Sarek National Park,a place with no roads or towns. A Land of Mountain and Ice Sarek's mountains used to be covered by vast sheets of ice.Around 9,000 years ago,this ice melted,leaving behind about 100 glaciers.Soon after,reindeer began to arrive.Following the reindeer were the Sami people,who made this territorytheir home.Getting here is quite difficult,so apart from the Sami very few people have ever seen Sarek.In 1909,Sarek was made a national park in order to keep the land in its natural state.Though the Sami are allowed to continue their traditional way of life in the park,no one else can live here,and all new development is banned within park boundaries.At the far side of the valley,an ancient Sami cottage is visible.Close by,there are a few reindeer feeding on grass. Man at Peace with Nature For hundreds of years,looking after reindeer was a way of life for the Sami.They used 【高二英语第3页（共8页）】 25151B C图扫描全能王 3亿人整在用的扫mAp的 the reindeer's meat for food,their bones for tools,and their skin for making clothes and tents.Since reindeer were always on the move,the Sami would pick up their tents and accompany them.Today,most Sami have houses in villages near Sarek and live a modern life just like their neighbours.But every spring,a small number of Sami still follow their reindeer into the valleys of Sarek,living in tents or old cottages and enjoying their traditions.I am not a Sami,but in Sarek I've adopted some of their habits.For example,this morning my breakfast is flat bread warmed over a fire,dried reindeer meat,and some sweet and sour berries that I found growing near my tent. A Land of Adventure After breakfast,I pack my bag and set out again.Since I must carry all of my food and supplies with me,my bag weighs about 30 kilograms.If today is anything like yesterday,it will be full of sweat and hard work as I hike over this difficult land to my destination on the other side of the valley.However,I cannot complain.Being in such a beautiful and wild place makes me feel blessed to be alive.Here I am,alone under this broad sky,breathing the fresh air,and enjoying this great adventure.What could be better? 24.Why is it hard for the author to tell whether it is morning or night? A.The author is in the remote far north of Sweden. B.The author doesn't have a chance to check his watch. C.The sun never sets in summer above the Arctic Circle. D.It is the first time for the author to come to the Arctic Circle. 25.How are the Sarek's mountains at present? A.The mountains are covered by thick ice. B.The mountains exist together with glaciers. C.The Sami are growing crops on the mountains. D.The mountains have turned into a few parks. 26.What does the author want to tell in Paragraph 3? A.Reindeer have become part of the Sami's life. B.The Sami should stop killing reindeer at once. C.The Sami can live at peace with their neighbours. D.It is a good idea to use the reindeer's meat for food. 27.What could have happened to the author yesterday? A.He prepared enough food and supplies. B.He walked along a rough and difficult path. C.He was lucky to be alive in the mountains. D.He made a detailed plan for the adventure. C A group of researchers has come up with a way to make it easier to drive in the snow:by designing tyres(轮胎)based on polar bear paws. "We had an ongoing project for many years focused on ice,"said Ali Dhinojwala,who took part in the research."We were looking at the friction()of materials because our national partners need to develop tyres with a strong grip on the road in ice and snow conditions."The team turned to nature for inspiration,thinking that evolution might have already solved the problem in a way that could be copied with technology.The obvious place to look was polar bears-specifically the tiny bumps()on the surface of their paw pads- to find out what effect they have on the animals'ability to move quickly across icy and snowy area. To do this,the team gathered samples()of polar bear paw pads,as well as samples from brown bears and American black bears (two species closely related to polar bears)and sun bears(a distantly related species,typically found in Asia).The team imaged the samples 【高二英语第4页（共8页）】 25151B C③扫描全能王 3亿人整在用的扫mAp的 using a scanning electron microscope,produced 3D-printed copies and then tested them in snow in the lab. They found that the tiny structures on the polar bear paw pads were taller,which gave them better friction on the snow,even though polar bears have smaller pads compared to other bears. The team now wants to look into other factors that may have an effect,such as the patterns and shapes of the tiny structures."If you look at snow tyres,you'll see that they do have some deeper treads(外胎花纹)，but this research could also show various ways to design them that could have a larger impact,"said Dhinojwala. 28.What does the underlined word "they"in Paragraph 2 refer to? A.Tiny bumps. B.Polar bears. C.Snowy roads. D.Paw pads. 29.What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about? A.The finding of the research. B.The background of the research. C.The comparison of different bear pads.D.The differences of samples in the lab 30.What can we infer from Dhinojwala's words in the last paragraph? A.Snow tyres that have deeper treads can be safe enough. B.Different treads might be designed on the snow tyres. C.The researchers should have turned to other bears for inspiration. D.The design of snow tyres requires no further improvement. 31.Which of the following is the best title for the text? A.An Ongoing Project Focused on Ice B.An Easier Way to Drive in the Snow C.A New Research on Polar Bear Paw Pads D.Snow Tyres Based on Polar Bear Paws D San Francisco's waterfront()is on the National Register of Historic Places for good reason. Its beautiful old landmarks,like the Ferry Building and the Bay Bridge,have been seen in many books,TV shows and movies-from the stories and novels of Jack London to the 1970s TV series The Streets of San Francisco.The future of San Francisco's waterfront,however, isn't safe. In 2016,the National Trust for Historic Preservation put part of the city's shoreline on its list of the US's most endangered historic places,in part because of the threat of sea level rise.The waterfront landmarks of many cities are under increasing threat from floods and rising sea levels brought on by human-driven climate change.St.Mark's Basilica in Venice, Italy and the Venice Beach boardwalk in Los Angeles face similar challenges to San Francisco. "The whole issue of climate change and historic preservation intersects()right at the waterfront,"said Elaine Forbes,director of the Port of San Francisco.As she watched the boats come and go on a sunny afternoon,Forbes said,"Sea level rise hasn't historically been as much of a threat to San Francisco as major earthquakes."However,that's changed.Parts of the main road that runs along the waterfront have flooded from heavy rains in recent years. The state estimates()the water could rise up to about two and a half feet above its present level by 2060,and possibly up to seven feet by the turn of the century. Now,San Francisco is considering measures to save its historic shoreline.But the growing magnitude()and frequency of the climate-related threats,the high costs and effort needed in saving heritage sites,and competing ideas about what's worth saving and what isn't,can make it hard for cities to know what to do first. 32.What is San Francisco's waterfront famous for? A.Crowded beaches. B.Old landmarks. C.Comfortable climate. D.Beautiful bridges. 【高二英语第5页（共8页）】 25151B C图扫描全能王 3亿人整在用的日mAp的 33.What challenge is the waterfront facing? A.The threat from rising sea levels. B.The loss of public support. C.The competition from other cities. D.The influence of tourist activities. 34.Why is the earthquake mentioned in Paragraph 4? A.To stress the seriousness of sea level rise. B.To give an example of existing threats. C.To show the difficulty in the waterfront protection. D.To compare different types of natural disasters. 35.What can be known from the text? A.Threats have been removed. B.Heritage sites are in ruins. C.Solutions are under consideration. D.The shoreline has been flooded. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余 选项。 Sports is getting its increasing popularity among teens.Many teens in high school want to try sports because they think it will make them popular.36 Here are some of them.

Laynie had her own watering can,so she could "help"me in the garden.One day,after everything was watered,she said,"We forgot something,Brad."She ran to the fence and started sprinkling()water on another spot.I walked over and saw a fresh patch of dirt near the fence. “Did you plant something there?”I asked. “Yes,”she said.“T'm growing a pencil.." She stopped sprinkling."My purple pencil got too small,so I planted it,the way you said.” “But,Laynie--” “How long does it take to grow a new pencil?”" I should have explained things right then,but I just said quietly,"Uh...I never grew one before.” Later I got what seemed like a great idea.I dug up Laynie's pencil and "planted"a brand- new purple pencil.Laynie was really excited when she saw it."My pencil grew!"she shouted.She drew pictures with it all afternoon. One day I saw her patting down some dirt,so I knew she'd just planted something. “What is it this time?”I asked, “It's Molly..”I gasped(倒吸气).Molly was Laynie's goldfish！“She jumped out of her bowl again,"Laynie said."Grandma said we didn't find her in time.Then Laynie picked up her little watering can and started sprinkling that spot.My heart dropped to my feet when she asked,"How long does it take to grow a goldfish,Brad?"She knelt down to whisper, "Grow,Molly.Grow!"before she skipped back to the house.I sat down with my back to the fence and wondered what I should do then. 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。 Maybe,I could put a live fish on the spot just before Laynie came along.
