Geography The park's landscape is mostly made of granite and older rocks.Around 10 million years ago,the Sierra Nevada mountains rose and tilted,which increased the steepness of stream and river beds,forming deep,narrow canyons.One million years ago,glaciers()formed in higher areas and moved down,carving the U-shaped Yosemite Valley. History European American settlers first entered the valley in 1851.Other travelers entered earlier,but James D.Savage is credited with discovering the area that became Yosemite National Park.Native Americans had lived in the area for nearly 4,000 years,although humans may have first visited as long as 8,000 to 10,000 years ago. Yosemite played an important role in the idea of national parks.Galen Clark and others worked hard to protect Yosemite Valley,leading to President Abraham Lincoln signing the Yosemite Grant in 1864,which preserved the land.In 1890,John Muir led a successful movement,helping to establish Yosemite Valley and its surrounding areas as a National Park. Yosemite draws about four million visitors each year.Most visitors spend the majority of their time in the valley's seven square miles. 21.What makes Yosemite National Park listed as a World Heritage Site? A.Its exploration history. B.Its extremely large area. C.Its convenient location.

C Despite the hopes of both astronomers and science fiction fans alike,Venus may never have been habitable to life.This is the conclusion of a new study out of the University of Cambridge,which has been published in the journal Nature Astronomy. Today,Venus is an extremely hot planet,with surface temperatures around 867 F,a thick atmosphere made mostly of carbon dioxide (CO2),and a surface pressure 92 times that of Earth.Yet the planet has been long theorized to have been habitable many millions of years ago,with oceans of liquid water. The researchers,however,found that Venus's atmosphere is too dry to have supported oceans.The planet's atmosphere lacks enough water,which would have evaporated (as the planet warmed over time. There are two main theories about Venus's history:Either the planet has always been as hot as it is today,so water never existed in liquid form,or Venus gradually became hotter due to the greenhouse effect,causing any water to evaporate.The Cambridge team took a different approach by studying Venus's current atmospheric chemistry.They calculated (the rates at which water and other gases are destroyed in Venus's atmosphere.Unlike Earth's volcanoes,which release mostly water vapor,Venus's volcanoes release only about 6%water.This suggests that Venus's volcanic magma contains very little water. The study also highlighted that,unlike Earth and Mars,Venus shows no signs of erosion (caused by liquid water.Since liquid water is necessary for life as we know it,the lack of such evidence makes it unlikely that Venus ever supported Earth-like life. While we may not know for certain if Venus ever supported life,the study suggests that it likely never had oceans.This discovery affects the search for life on other planets, especially those similar to Venus. NASA's DAVINCI mission,expected to reach Venus later this decade,may provide further answers.Understanding Venus's history can help guide the search for life beyond Earth. 28.What is a misunderstanding about Venus from paragraph 2? A.It is packed with a wide range of wildlife. B.It is habitable with oceans of liquid water. C.It becomes hotter due to the greenhouse effect. D.It has a thinner atmosphere than that of Earth. 【高二英语第5页（共10页）】 ·25-241B· C图扫描全能王 3亿人整在用的日量Ap的 29.How did the Cambridge team conduct the study? A.By referring to previously published articles. B.By analyzing Venus's atmospheric chemistry. C.By creating an environment similar to Venus's. D.By cooperating with the scientists from NASA. 30.What is the author's attitude to NASA's DAVINCI mission? A.Uncaring. B.Doubtful. C.Concerned. D.Favourable. 31.Which is the most suitable title for the text? A.Oceans on Venus May Never Have Existed B.It Would be Possible to Make Venus Livable C.Astronomers'Dream Will be Realized Soon D.Research Proved a Classic Theory is Correct D Last week,a bad event struck the Bandhavgarh Tiger Reserve,a national park in the hills of central India.Four wild elephants were found dead,and six others from the same group were very sick.Despite efforts to treat them,all six elephants died within two days. Forest officials and researchers alike were in confusion and wondered what brought down these strong animals.They focused on a fungus (that infects kodo millet,a type of grain that elephants eat in the region. This is not the first time that animals or people have become ill after consuming kodo millet.In human infection cases,treatment with stomach washing helped people recover,but animals like dogs and elephants did not survive after eating the millet.In 1985,a case of kodo millet poisoning in humans led researchers to investigate.They found that the millet was infected by two types of fungi which produce a toxin (called cyclopiazonic acid (CPA). Later studies showed that other types of fungi can also produce this toxin. Back in Bandhavgarh Tiger Reserve,researchers believe that these fungi caused the recent deaths of the elephants.Tests on the elephants'bodies found high levels of CPA in their stomachs. Mycologist Kaustuv Sanyal explained that fungi release spores (that spread through the air.These spores favour wet conditions,which is why fungal growth increases after rain.The region around the Bandhavgarh Tiger Reserve has heavy rains and a long rainy season,creating a conducive environment for the fungus to grow on the millet. Despite the serious effects of the toxin on animals and humans,the fungi do not harm the plants.Researchers are still studying how the fungi affect plants.Although there are the high levels of CPA in the elephants'bodies,the exact cause has not been confirmed.Forest officials plan to send millet samples (from the area to experts for further testing.This could help determine if the fungi were responsible for the deaths of the elephants. 32.How did forest officials feel about the event in the Bandhavgarh Tiger Reserve? A.Calm. B.Impatient. C.Disappointed. D.Puzzled. 【高二英语第6页（共10页）】 ·25-241B· C图扫描全能王 3亿人整在用的日量Ap的 33.Why does the author mention the case in 1985? A.To show the poison of the mentioned fungi. B.To explain a cure for cancer. C.To display the fungus varieties D.To praise some scientists in India 34.What does the underlined word "conducive"in paragraph 5 mean? A.Dangerous. B.Helpful. C.Changeable. D.Difficult. 35.What do the forest officials intend to do in the next stage? A.Cut the number of visitors to the region. B.Encourage farmers to grow kodo millet. C.Find out the real answers to the dead elephants. D.Announce that hunting is illegal in the park. 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入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余 选项。 Since retiring from football,Tom has reflected on his impact on the teams he played for.

However,my parents had different ideas.They insisted that we speak Chinese at home. They even went as far as to teach me Chinese characters and make me read classic Chinese literature.I remember spending long hours every weekend practicing writing characters,my hand cramping from the effort.My parents would quiz me on my vocabulary,and I'd have to recite poems and passages from ancient texts.At the time,I couldn't understand why they were so determined about it.I often resisted,frustrated by the difficulty and wondering why I had to hold onto something that seemed irrelevant to my life in the US. 努 My father would patiently explain,"Although we're living in the US,we mustn't forget our roots.Our language is a part of who we are.Despite his explanations,my teenage mind 进 was too stubborn to appreciate his wisdom.He would sit with me,showing me the strokes (of each character,explaining their meanings,and sharing stories about our ancestors. 締 His voice was calm and encouraging,even when I grew impatient and wanted to give up.
