Early information from the park service shows that across the nation's 424 national parks,at least four peopre have died this year from heat-related causes.That includes a 65-year-old man from San Ltego who was found dead at Death Valley earlier this month. Death Valley National Park suggests visitors be careful and not have expectations of rescue.While park rangers()drive on park roads and can aid tourists in need,it is unsure that lost visitors will get help in time. Physical activity can make the heat feel even worse and leave people exhausted.Alessia Dempster, who was visiting from Edinburgh,Scotland,said,"It's very hot especially when there's a gentle wind. You would think maybe that would give you some slight relief from the heat,but it just really does feel like an air blow dryer just going back in your face." Death Valley is a narrow area that is below sea level and surrounded by high mountains,the park service's website says.The dry air and small plant coverage let sunlight heat up the park surface.The heat then becomes trapped in the valley. Still,several areas in Death Valley continue to draw tourists.Badwater Basin,made up of salt flats, is considered the lowest point in all of North America.The 183-meter Ubehebe Crater dates back over 2,000 vears.And Zabriskie Point is a great sunrise viewing spot. Josh Miller,a visitor from Indianapolis who has been to 20 national parks so far,shared that feeling. "It's hot,but the seenery is.awesome,"ne said. 28.What do rost visitors do in Death Valley? A.Cool themselves in time. B.Do lots of physical exercises. C.Stay away from park rangers. D.Carry dryers with themselves. 29.Why does the author mention the 65-year-old man in paragraph 2? A.To encourage the elderly to travel more. 高二英语试卷·第4页，共8页 B.To express admiration for mountain climbers. C.To advise people to tour Death Valley more often. D.To show the danger of traveling in Death Valley. 30.What does paragraph 5 mainly tell us about Death Valley? A.Its covering area. B.Its attractive spots. C The reason why it is so hot. D.The service of its park's website. 31.What can be inferred about Death Valley from the last two paragraphs? A.It has a short history.. B.·It is worth visiting. C.It draws fewer and fewer tourists. D.It is unsuitable for viewing sunrise. D In recent years,there has been great progress in the study of genetics.With this progress,doors have been opened up to technologies that never existed before.While many people are excited about these new technologies,these same technologies frighten others.Nowhere is this truer than with genetically mnodified(GM)(转基因的)food. There are two ways in which a plant or an animal can be genetically modified.First,new material can be inserted into its DNA to give the plant or animal qualities which it would ncver have in nature. Second,material can be taken from the DNA of a plant or an animal in order to remove qualities which are not desired. One aim of GM research is to produce food which will make us healthier.So far,this technology has been used to produce plants which are better able to defend themselves against pests and disease. Supporters of GM food argue that GM plants are healthier and have larger harvests.While there has been research in GM animals such as pigs,no GM meat is being sold at present. Many questions have been raised about GM food.No one really knows whether it is safe for animals or bumans to eat Scientists admit that more tests should be done on GM food.Research has been limited to increasing production profits,rather than making sure that GM food is safe.GM food could therefore be dangerous to eat. There is also a question as to whether GM plants are safe for the environment.Since GM crops are planted outside,they are part of the food chain-insects and other animals eat them or use their products,and these insects and animals will be eaten by other animals.No one knows what effects the GM material might have on the food chain. Since no one really knows whether GM food is safe,many countries have nesitated to give permission for the production of GM food,as they would rather be cautious with this new technology. 32.How does the author introduce the topic in paragraph 1? A.By giving examples.B.By giving definition.By listing numbers..By making comparison. 33.What is the purpose of GM research? A.To make healthier food. B.To produce enough meat. C.To produce stronger plants. D.To make people disease-free. 34.What attitude do the governments hold to GM food in the tast paragraph? A.Negative.B.Supportive. C.Cautious. D.Indifferent. 35.Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A.GM food:hope or danger? B.GM research:safe or not? C.GM food:stop or continue? D.GM research:right or wrong? 高二英语试卷·第5页，共8页 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） For businesses to develop,every business leader needs to create a workplace that is not only productive,but enjoyable too.Here are some ways to encourage workers to work narder and also keep them happy. 36If veu want to keep your workers on track,you'll need to provide a space where they can teiax from stressful work for a while.This can be in the form of a game room,or a sofa where workers can leave their desks for a short time to talk with colleagues and relax.

"Quick!Quick!Remove the motorcycles from the shop."someone shouted.Then a thick burning smell filled the air.When Tom opened the front door of their flat to investigate,a thick cloud of smoke greeted him.The motoreycle shop had caugnt fire and people were running and crying. Jane,who had been playing the violin in her toom,hurried to the living room.They rushed out of the door and along the corridor through the smoke. They were heading towards the stairway at the far end of the corridor when Jane suddenly stopped in her track.She turned around and headed back the way they came.Tom had no idea what she was doing, but he followed her. Jane had suddenly remembered the lady in her 70s who lived next door to them,who they called Makcik.Jane began banging on Makcik's door,but got no answer.As the smoke thickened around them, Tom could see many of their neighbors-some still in their pajamas()running for safety.The thought of fear crossed his mind.
