It is hard to imagine a place that’s more dangerous than Death Valley. 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!
4. Death Valley gets ________ of rain a year.
A. two feet B. fifty-one feet C. at least two feet D. less than two feet
5. The most difficult thing in Death Valley is to find ________.
A. water B. food C. animals D. plants
6. 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
7. What can we infer from the passage?
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.

I’m Jack. To help students develop good reading habits, our school holds many activities. My favorite one is the reading seminar (研讨会). I still remember what we talked about when I went there for the first time. It was about Daniel Defoe’s book Robinson Crusoe. I didn’t really understand the book until I went to the seminar.
Mr. Song, our teacher, led us to immerse (使沉浸) ourselves in Robinson’s world with two questions. The first one was: How do we read this book? Mr. Song taught us to find out how the story began, the characters and the plots (情节) of the story. Following him, we slowly got the main idea of Robinson Crusoe.
Robinson could live an easy life, but he chose to take a trip abroad by ship. He was hit by a rainstorm at sea, and then he got to an island. No people lived there. Life was hard, but Robinson never gave up. Finally, after staying on the island for twenty-eight years, a ship came and saved him.
Mr. Song’s second question was: Why do we read this book? He organized a group discussion and let us share our thoughts with one another. We found that Robinson was a brave and hardworking person. We should learn from him and better prepare ourselves for the future.
8. What did the students do at the reading seminar?

C. They learned how to read a book. D. They talked about everything.

The Old Man and the Sea is a short novel by the famous American writer Ernest Hemingway. He wrote it in 1951 when he was 52 years old and it is one of his bestknown works. Three years later, Hemingway won the Nobel Prize in Literature for it.
The book tells a story of an old fisherman called Santiago. After 84 days without catching a fish out in the sea, he is hungry, poor and alone. The other villagers keep away from him because they think his bad luck might make them unlucky too. Finally, his luck changes and he hooks a huge fish. With much difficulty, he brings it onto his boat. But his troubles are not over. Some sharks try to take away his catch. He succeeds in fighting off the sharks with the help of a boy named Manolin. Unluckily, he loses the fish. But he is still hopeful about his life and develops a good friendship with Manolin in the end.
I like the book because the story is interesting. I like the character of Santiago because he shows a lot of courage and perseverance (坚持). The story makes me think a lot and its language is simple and beautiful. I will surely tell my friends about it. I think they will like it too.

It is hard to imagine a place that’s more dangerous than Death Valley. 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.

This area has some of the highest mountains in the world.
The snow in the mountains is a source (源头) of many rivers. In fact, the snow makes two of China’s most important rivers. They are the Yellow River and the Yangtze River. The Yellow River is China’s second longest river. It is very special to the Chinese people, as it was the birthplace of Chinese civilization (文明).
