Ⅱ.阅读理解
A
Death Valley is the lowest，hottest，driest area in North America.This California National Park has less than 5 cm of rainfall a year and temperature up to 53 ℃ in summer.That's enough to keep Americans away during the hottest months from June to August.But it is the high temperatures and terrible heat that draw their most crazy fans—the foreign tourists.From all over the world，they come to the valley floor in cars，carrying maps and water bottles，and fanning themselves with newspapers to keep cool.
About 1.3 million visitors enter the park each year, from June through August.90% of them are foreigners.They go there to experience the summer heat that gives Death Valley its name.The average high in July is 53.2 ℃and the low 30 ℃. For August, the average high is 52.2 ℃ and the low 29.4 ℃.
So what do Americans think of the foreign visitors who arrive for the
heat, just when locals from the United States try to avoid it？Park manager Brenda Henson says，“The foreigners want to experience the heat in Death Valley.We think it's crazy.”
In fact, Death Valley is a series of salt flats (盐滩) 225 km long and 6km to 26km wide.Birds and animals are largely absent, and only the hardiest plants have any chance of existence in this extreme place.
One tourist from Paris concluded，“We come to it because we can tell all our friends and family that we've been to the hottest place in the world.”
1．The real attraction of Death Valley for foreigners is that________.
A．summer heat keeps Americans away
B．experiencing the heat in it is cool
C．it is a series of salt flats
D．it is the hottest place in the world
答案 D [细节理解题。

根据最后一段“One tourist from Paris concluded, We come to it because we can tell all our friends and family that we've been to the hottest place in the world.”看出很多外国人来死谷是因为这是世界上最热的地方。

2．What does the underlined word“hardiest”in Paragraph 4 mean?
A．Most difficult. B．Most energetic.
C．Strongest. D．Best.
答案 C [词义猜测题。

根据上下文语境，没有鸟兽的踪迹，只有hardiest 植物可能在这样的恶劣环境下生存，可推知该词义为“最强壮的”。

] 3．Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A．The hottest time in Death Valley is from June to August.
B．Not all the visitors to Death Valley are foreigners.
C．The lowest temperature in Death Valley is 29.4℃.
D．Death Valley is made up of salt flats.
答案 C [细节判断题。

第二段说到八月份平均低温为29.4 ℃，但这并不表明死谷最低温度为29.4 ℃，因此，C选项与原文内容不符。

] 4．According to the passage, how many American visitors enter Death Valley from June through August each year?
A．About 1.44 million. B．About 0.83 million.
C．About 0.13 million. D．About 0.7 million.
答案 C [数字计算题。

根据第二段第一、二句话“About 1.3 million visitors enter the park each year, from June through August.90% of them are foreigners.”所提供的两个数字计算得出。

B
I am really lucky.I grew up with my parents and two brothers in a really nice house in California, USA.My life has always been pretty easy.When I was 14, I discovered a club at school called Operation Smile, an organization that helps free surgery for facially_deformed_kids in developing countries.And I joined Operation Smile.At 15, I became the president of my club.
There are only about 20 American kids chosen each year to go abroad, and I was lucky enough to be one of them.
After the long flight to the Philippines，I was put into a pension(寄宿学校)with a roommate who was a volunteer nurse.I was nervous about meeting the kids on my first day at the hospital.I'd never seen anything like their deformities(畸形)．Their families had come with them—many had traveled by bus for days to get their child an operation.
My job was to play with the kids before their operations to help them feel more at ease.I also went to nearby schools to hand out toothbrushes，teach students how to brush their teeth and talk about nutrition since they were so malnourished(营养不良的)．I wasn't homesick at all during my stay.I could have stayed there for eight years，but all I had was eight days.
Honestly, every experience I had was amazing.My time there made me realize there's much more to life than my tiny problems.It was so great to help change a child's life and work with such good people.Some of my friends' parents reacted like，“I would never let my daughter to do something like that！”They couldn't understand my choice to help others.However, my parents were more enthusiastic.
Operation Smile showed me that I could do whatever I put my mind to.And you can too!
