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 conditions in Death Valley is terrible, there is still filled with life. 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.

He sits in front of a high fence (篱笆). “Too bad! It’s a nice Saturday morning but I must paint the fence. My friends are playing.” Just then, he has an idea. He picks up his brush and starts to paint the fence slowly. His friend Ben is walking down the street and he is eating a big red apple. He sees Tom and says, “Tom, I’m going swimming.” Tom says, “I like it! I can go swimming every day, but I can’t paint a fence every day.” Ben is surprised and he watches Tom paint slowly and carefully, and he often smiles. He looks happy and even sings songs. At this time, “Tom. Let me paint a little,” says Ben. Tom looks at Ben and says, “I’m really sorry, Ben, but Aunt Polly wants me to do it. You know, I’m very good at painting. My brother Sid wants to do it, but he’s not good at painting.” “Oh, Tom, let me try, you can have my apple.” Tom is happy, but he doesn’t smile. “OK, Ben.” Then Tom’s other friends come by.

At this time, ‘Tom. Let me paint a little,’ says Ben.”以及后文其他朋友也争着刷篱笆，说明朋友们觉得刷篱笆这件事很有趣，所以想刷篱笆。 【19题详解】 第二段“He picks up his brush and starts to paint the fence slowly.”可知b. Tom starts to paint the fence.（汤姆开始刷篱笆）排在首位；第八段“‘Oh, Tom, let me try, you can have my apple.’”可知c. Ben gives his apple to Tom.（本把他的苹果给汤姆）排在第二；第九段“‘OK, Ben.’”以及第十段“Then Tom’s other friends come by. They watch Tom paint and they all want to try, too.”可知a. Ben starts to paint the fence.（本开始刷篱笆）排在第三；最后一段“Tom’s friends paint the big fence, and Tom just sits under the big tree and watches them.”可知d.

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 conditions in Death Valley is terrible, there is still filled with life. 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 surprises! 22. How much rain does Death Valley get in a year? A. Two feet. B. Fifty-one feet. C. At least two feet. D. Less than two feet. 23. What is the most difficult to find in Death Valley? A. Water. B. Food. C. Animals. D. Plants. 24. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph refer to (指代) ? A. A lake. B. Death Valley. C. The strong wind. D. The weather condition. 25. 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 【答案】22. D 23. A 24. B 25. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了死亡谷是北美最热最干旱的地方，气候恶劣，但仍有多种动植物生存，岩石甚至因风而“行走”，充满惊奇。 【22题详解】 第二段第一句明确写道“It gets less than two feet of rain a year”，因此选 Less than two feet。 【23题详解】 最后一段第一句说“Finding water is the biggest challenge for anything that lives here”，因此最困难的是找到水。 【24题详解】 第三段中“Nothing can stop plants and animals from making it their home.” 前文一直在描述死亡谷的地理和气候，因此“it”指代 Death Valley。 【25题详解】 第三段最后一句“The animals aren’t all small, either.” 暗示并非所有动物都小，即有些动物体型较大。 第Ⅱ卷 非选择题（共45分） 四、听力填词（共5小题，计5分） 请听下面一段独白。根据独白内容，写出下面表格中所缺的单词，每空仅填一词。独白读两遍。 A ________ Ride on Weishan Lake When At ________ this afternoon.

The sand here has a red-orange color and the surface of the Arabian Desert is covered mainly by sand hills, some gravel plains (砾石平原) and rocky plains. Mojave Desert The Mojave Desert is in the USA. It is the driest desert on the North American continent. Death Valley, one of the hottest areas in the world, is in the Mojave Desert. Mojave comes from the Spanish word for “beside the water”. 51.
