Sossusvlei,Namibia Stay at Little Kulala,an eco-friendly hotel in the desert.It uses solar power and is located in the large Kulala Wilderness Reserve.You can ride in a Land Rover to look for animals such as springbok, ostrich and oryx.You can also take a hot-air balloon to see the Namib Desert,which is the oldest desert in the world.After a day of exploring,relax in your small private pool.At night,you can even sleep on the rooftop and watch shooting stars and the Milky Way above you. Death Valley National Park,California Death Valley National Park covers 3.4 million acres.Its clean air and large open spaces make it a wonderful place to watch shooting stars,meteor showers,and many constellations.People in the area work hard to reduce light pollution so the night sky stays dark.In winter,park rangers offer programs that teach visitors about stars and space. Rome,Italy For a fun family activity,visit Sofitel Roma Villa Borghese for an evening picnic and stargazing.You can learn about constellations and planets that were named by ancient Roman astronomers.The hotel is in a former 19th-century palace and is close to famous cultural sites and parks in the city. Natural Bridges National Monument,Utah This park has some of the darkest skies in the United States.It was the first place to receive the International Dark Sky Park certification.Huge natural stone bridges create beautiful "windows"where you can look through to see the stars,just like the Pueblo people did 800 years ago.One of the most amazing views is the Milky Way rising above Owachomo Bridge. 21.Which of the following statements is TRUE about Sossusvlei,Namibia?

In 1825,his father sent him to study medicine at Edinburgh University,where he learned how to classify plants.Darwin became passionate about natural history and this became his focus while he studied at Cambridge.Darwin went on a voyage together with Robert Fitzroy,the captain of HMS Beagle, to South America to facilitate British trade in Patagonia.The journey was life-changing.Darwin spent much of the trip on land collecting samples of plants,animals and rocks,which helped him to develop an understanding of the processes that shape the Earth's surface.Darwin's analysis of the plants and animals that he gathered led him to express doubts on former explanations about how species formed and evolved over time. Darwin's work convinced him that natural selection was key to understanding the development of the natural world.The theory of natural selection says that individuals of a species are more likely to survive when they inherit(经遗传获得)characteristics best suited for that specific environment.These features then become more widespread and can lead eventually to the development of a new species.With natural selection,Darwin argued how a wide variety of life forms developed over time from a single common ancestor. Darwin married his cousin,Emma Wedgwood,in 1839.When Darwin's eldest daughter,Annie,died from a sudden illness in 1851,he lost his belief in God.His tenth and final child,Charles Waring Darwin, was born in 1856.Significantly for Darwin,this baby was disabled,altering how Darwin thought about the human species.Darwin had previously thought that species remained adapted until the environment changed;he now believed that every new variation was imperfect and that a struggle to survive was what drove species to adapt. Though rejected at the beginning,Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection is nowadays well accepted by the scientific community as the best evidence-based explanation for the diversity and complexity of life on Earth.The Natural History Museum's library alone has 478 editions of his On the Origin of Species in 38 languages. 24.What made Darwin reconsider the origin and development of species? A.Examining plants and animals collected. Quark夸克 高清扫描还原文档 B.His desire for a voyage to different continents. C.Classifying samples in a journey to South America. D.His passion for natural history at Edinburgh University. 25.We can learn from paragraphs 1 to 3 that Darwin A.used natural selection to develop new species B.enjoyed being called nicknames related to science C.learned some knowledge about plants when studying medicine D.argued with others over the diversity of life forms for a long period 26.Which of the following changed Darwin's view on the human species? A.That he had ten children in all. B.His youngest son's being disabled. C.That he lost his eldest daughter. D.His marriage with Emma Wedgwood. 27.This passage is mainly about A.Darwin's passion for medical science B.Darwin's theory and experiments C.Charles Darwin's changing interest D.Charles Darwin's life and work C Those who had the pleasure of watching Benny Goodman at work saw a rather ordinary-looking man in rimless glasses and a conservative business suit;but they also saw a human being who could play the clarinet()like no one before or since.This made Benny Goodman a unique individual. Other Americans who have stood out from the flock inelude Joe DiMaggio,Beverly Sill,Ernest Hemingway and Jonas Salk.They,like Benny Goodman,were recognized and honored for no other reason than excellence. It is doing something better than other people that makes us unique.Yet a surprising number of people still see individuality as a surface thing.They wear garish clothes,dye their hair strange colors and decorate their skin with tattoos to make some kind of social statement.But an ordinary guy who has dyed his hair purple or orange is nothing more than the same person with a funny-looking head. The whole purpose of individuality is excellence.Those who invent,,who improvise((即兴发挥)，who know more about a subject than other people do,and who take something that doesn't work and make it work-these people are the very soul of capitalism. Charles Kettering didn't like the idea of cranking a car to make it start,so he invented the electric starter.Henry Ford figured out the assembly-line technique and made it possible to mass-produce automobiles,and Elisha Otis,inventor of the elevator,indirectly created the city sky-line.These people understood that individualism means working at the top of one's capacity. The ones with the purple hair and the funky jewelry are just along for the ride,trying to be"different" and not knowing how to go about it. The student who earns straight A's on his report card has grasped the idea and has found the real meaning of individuality.So has the youngster who has designed his own spaceship,who gives piano 5 Quark夸克 高清扫描还原文档 recitals,who paints pictures of the world around him. Benny Goodman understood it too.This is why he was at his best,blowing his clarinet,in a blue suit and black shoes. 28.The author mentions the appearance of Benny Goodman to A.show what a talented musician should look like B.introduce an important figure in the musical world C.contrast with his talent in music performance D.indicate that he can't stand out from the flock 29.The author would most probably agree that A.an individualist tends to seek difference both in character and appearance B.the essence of individualism lies in pursuing excellence to the full C.being different in appearance is the very first step to being individual D.those who strive to win the recognition of others are real individualists 30.According to the passage,which individual's actions may not truly embody the essence of individualism? A.A scientist who conducts research solely advancing knowledge for the greater good rather than for personal recognition. B.A social media influencer who conforms to popular opinions to maintain a large following. C.An artist who creates unique works but fail to gain fame and recognition from others D.An entrepreneur who prioritizes ethical considerations over profit in his business practices. 31.For the main thread,the article is organized by way of A.specific to general B.cause and effect C.examples and conclusion D.comparison and contrast D Stanford researchers have discovered an exciting new way to treat wastewater that could help solve two big problems at once-water shortages and waste of valuable resources.Instead of just cleaning dirty water and throwing away the removed pollutants,their system turns wastewater into both drinkable water and useful materials. With experts predicting that the world will need 40%more clean water than it has by 2030,this technology is timely.The researchers have been particularly focused on dealing with "forever chemicals" -pollutants that add up in water supplies and are very difficult to remove. The researchers have developed new resins()with upgraded selectivity.Unlike traditional water treatment resins,these can specifically target and trap harmful chemicals while recovering valuable materials.This turns the treatment process from a cost into a potential money-maker. 6 Quark夸克 高清扫描还原文档 One of the biggest advantages of this system is that it can be easily integrated into current water treatment plants.The improved resins can potentially be added to existing facilities without requiring big changes.This makes the process more practical and affordable for cities and towns. The researchers see this as more than just a better water filter ()They picture wastewater treatment plants becoming resource recovery centers that produce clean water while also supplying valuable materials to farmers and industries.As one scientist put it,this approach turns wastewater from being just a problem to solve into an opportunity-helping the environment while potentially creating new business possibilities. This invention could be especially important for areas facing water shortages,offering a way to get more clean water while making the treatment process more cost-effective and economically sustainable ()By recovering useful resources instead of just getting rid of them,the system represents a smarter way to handle our water needs in the future. 32.What is the main advantage of the new technology? A.It reduces the cost of building new factories. B.It cleans water and recovers useful materials. C.It helps scientists study"forever chemicals". D.It transports treated water into cities and towns. 33.Which aspect of the technology is mainly talked about in paragraph 3? A.Its working process B.Its historical background. C.Its potential applications. D.Its targeted problems. 34.Why is the technology practical for current plants? A.It removes all chemicals in one step. B.It is cheaper than traditional methods. C.It increases water usage by 40%. D.It fits the existing systems easily. 35.What is the author's attitude toward the new technology? A.Doubtful. B.Hopeful. C.Uninterested. D.Worried. 第二节（共5小题：每小题3分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文之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。 It is natural to compare ourselves with others and to get caught in a mental comparison cycle,yet this is seldom beneficial.You may have heard the expression,"Comparison is the thief of joy."36 Comparison not only robs us of joy,but it can also fuel self-criticism and a lack of self-acceptance. 7 Quark夸克 高清扫描还原文档 37 "I am not as successful and competent as they are.""Why don't I have what they have?"We use comparison as a way of self-criticism,which prevents self-acceptance. Another issue with comparison is that it causes unrealistic expectations.When we compare ourselves to others,we often overlook the context of their journey.We see the success,but not the failures, sacrifices or struggles.38 But in reality,no one's life is without difficulties,and by focusing on someone else's highlights,we're ignoring the complexity of our own story. Comparison may secretly play tricks on us.If we meet expectations,lose weight,or get a promotion, we will feel better,calmer,and stop comparing ourselves.This may be temporarily true.39 We can always find something else to compare,another expectation we tell ourselves we are not meeting, leaving us feeling worse once again. Let go of the idea that you need to compete with others.Life is not a race,and there is no finish line you must cross to prove your worth.Instead of comparing,try to celebrate others'successes and use them as inspiration for your own journey.40Not just for yourself,but for those around you. A.Yet comparison is an endless process. B.Comparison lowers your sense of security. C.So what can we do to break free from comparison? D.Typically,it leads to regarding others as superior to us. E.By doing so,you create an environment of positivity and growth. F.This makes it easy to assume that everyone else is living a perfect life. G.This rings true as comparing ourselves with others makes happiness hard to feel. 第三部分语言运用（共两节，满分50分） 第一节（共15小题：每小题2分，满分30分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A photograph of a 14-year-old from Louisville,Kentucky,giving away his shoes to a homeless man has spread quickly.This has been 41 thousands of people on social media.
