AYellowstone National ParkBrief Introduction:Yellowstone National Park is located in the northwest corner of Wyoming, and includes small areas of Montana and Idaho as well. In addition to its superb Rocky Mountain scenery, the park is one of the world’s principal wildlife preserves. It’s also the site of America’s greatest concentration of geysers and hot springs, which form a visible and spe ctacular link with the primeval forces of the Earth’s creation.Entrance Fees:$25 — private, noncommercial vehicle;$20 — motorcycle or snowmobile (winter);$12 — visitors 16 and older entering by bike, ski, etc.This fee provides the visitor with a 7-day entrance permit for the Yellowstone National Park.A $50 park annual pass provides entrance for a single private non-commercial vehicle at Yellowstone National Park. The $10 Interagency Senior Pass (62 and older) is a lifetime pass available to U.S. citizens or permanent residents.Interesting Yellowstone National Park Facts:◇ A designated World Heritage Site and designated Biosphere Reserve◇World’s First National Park◇ 3,472 square miles or 8,987 square km◇ 2,221,766 acres or 898,317 hectares◇ 63 air miles north to south (102 km)◇ 54 air miles east to west (87 km)◇ 96 % in Wyoming◇ 3 % in Montana◇ 1 % in Idaho21.

According to the passage, Yellowstone National Park is .A. the largest designated vulture reserveB. the world’s first national parkC. a park with an area of 8,987 milesD. the only national park in AmericaBAt age 23, Indian entrepreneur Srikanth Bolla is the CEO of a company valued at INR 50 crore (over $7.5 million). Today, he considers himself the luckiest man in the world, not for his success, but for having supportive parents who always stood by him.When Srikanth was born blind, several of his parents’ friends and relatives advised them to abandon him. That would indeed have been the easier thing to do, given the fact that they were poor and uneducated, earning a mere INR 20,000 ($300) a year. But they chose to not only keep the boy, but also raise him in a positive, loving environment. “They are the richest people I know,” he often says.And their excellent parenting has paid off — today, Srikanth is the CEO of Bollant Industries, a Hyderabad-based company that employs physically challenged staff to manufacture eco-friendly consumer packaging solutions made from leaves and recycled paper. It wasn’t an easy ride for Srikanth —he’s had to face several challenges all his life, including rejection from his peers at his village school. As he grew older, he started taking on larger challenges. He was rejected despite having scored well in the entrance test, merely because he was blind. But he managed to use his excellent academic records to gain admission into the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, from where he graduated in 2019. He returned to India soon after, and decided to start a company that would employ people who had struggled like himself in life.Srikanth said, “Compassion（怜悯） is showing somebody the way to live and giving them the opportunity to thrive. Show compassion and make people rich. Include people in your life and remove loneliness, and lastly, do something good; it will come back to you.”24. From Paragraph 1 and 2, we learn that Srikanth owes his success to his _________.A. parentsB. luckC. hard workD. friends and relatives25. The underlined part in Paragraph 3 refers to those who _________.A. are ambitiousB. are physically wellC. like challenges and physicsD. have some problem in health26. As Srikanth grew older, he ________.A. refused any rejection and started a companyB. faced more rejections and tried to overcome themC. got a lot of friendly assistance when facing challengesD. showed great compassion and gave opportunities to the rich27. Which can be the best title for the passage?A. Blind man built company worth millionsB. How parents raised a successful childC. How compassion makes people richD. The whole life of Srikanth BollaCPrevious studies have suggested as many as 70 percent of college students get insufficient（不充足的）sleep. But new data released today that analyzed sleep habits of college-age users of Jawbone’s UP fitness tracker suggests otherwise.Jawbone looked at sleep data from college-age users who wear the company’s UP fitness trackers and found that they actually average just over 7 hours of sleep per night on weekdays and 7.38 hours on weekend nights. The data comes from 18,498 college-age users from 137 schools across the country who wear the device and accounts for 1.44 million nights of sleep data recorded by those individuals between 2019 and 2019. Here are four more points about the research:1. People at high-achieving schools tended to have later bedtimesThe data analytics team at Jawbone was also able to separate out sleep data for each school with UP wearers reporting data. They found that the tougher the school, according to the U.S. News ranking, the later the average college-age UP wearer at that school goesto bed.2. Still, 7 hours may not be enough sleepWhile the data from Jawbone may be encouraging, considering that previous research has found that some students sleep only 5.7 hours a night on average. But Neil Kline, a sleep physician, points out that even this higher number isn’t sufficient. “There is much data that suggests that this age group needs more than seven or 7.5 hours of sleep on average per night,” Kline claimed.3. The data doesn’t include napsAnother point, Kline said, is that the data doesn’t include naps. Total daytime sleep — napping — tends to be difficult to account for because naps can be short and easily forgotten, he said. But they do affect total sleep.4. Fitness-tracking students aren’t exactly the normIt’s also important to note that the data from Jawbone comes from college-age people who purchased and used Jawbone UP fitness tracking devices, which means that the participants in this research do not necessarily make up a representative sample（样本）of college students in terms of socioeconomic status or lifestyle factors.28. What does the underlined sentence mean in Paragraph 1?A. New data has the same results as the previous one.B. New data and the previous one have many things in common.C. New data from Jawbone may astonish most college students.D. New data suggests that college students spend more time sleeping.29. According to the new data, a student who does well in academic performance may probablysleep ________.A. less than 5.7 hours a nightB. less than 7.5 hours a nightC. early at nightD. over the night30. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. The sample of college students is far from enough.B. College students usually don’t have naps at all.C. College students sleep only 5.7 hours a night on average.D. Every college student across the country takes part in the research.31. What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage?A. To show the importance of sufficient sleep at night.B. To explain why college students can’t get sufficient sleep.C. To tell readers some data abou t college students’ sleep per night.D. To offer college students some tips on handling insufficient sleep.DThe Hollywood film, “The Martian”, opens to U.S. audiences on October 2. Actor Matt Damon stars as an astronaut left alone on Mars. His crew returned to Earth thinking he had died in a windstorm. Damon's character, Mark Watney, must survive with few supplies and somehow get a message to Earth that he is alive.The plan to release the movie this week was some lucky timing. On Monday, the U.S. space agency NASA announced it had found strong evidence of liquid water on Mars. That again raised the possibility that, with liquid water, there could be life.NASA also took a part in the development of “The Martian”. Director Ridley Scott and Matt Damon reached out to agency officials for help to make the story as scientific as possible.So how scientifically accurate is “The Martian”? Jeffrey Luger of Time magazine tried to answer that question. He pointed out two of the biggest falsehoods of the film. The first, Mr. Luger writes, is central to the story: a powerful, dangerous windstorm that forces the space crew to leave the planet. The very low density atmosphere of Mars, Mr. Luger argues, could not create a storm like that. Mr. Luger also has trouble with the lack of danger from radiation on Mars. He notes that the six-month trip to Mars alone would expose the astronaut to 15 times more radiation than is permitted for nuclear energy workers ina year.But Popular Science reported much realism in the details. Science writer Sarah Fecht points to Astronaut Watney’s struggle to work in astronaut clothing, especially the gloves. And, an expert she spoke with said the stiff gloves are a real problem. They are very difficult to bend.“The Martian” is receiving exce llent reviews from top critics. Anne Hornaday calls it a “spirited example of how cool science can be”. Mike D’Angelo describes “The Martian”as a “celebration of our ability to solve even the most difficult problems”.32. In “The Martian”, Mark Watney .A. had no food to eatB. was left alone on MarsC. had to stay on Mars for goodD. couldn’t send a message to earth33. From the passage, we know that NASA .A. has already found life on marsB. has a plan to send human beings to the MarsC. played a role in producing “The Martian”D. thought “The Martian” is scientifically inaccurate34. According to Jeffrey Luger, which of the following is a falsehood of “The Martian”?A. Watney’s struggle to work in astronaut clothing is untrue.B. The space crew had to leave Mars because of lack of oxygen.C. The low density atmosphere of Mars produced a smaller storm.D. Radiation on Mars seemed to have little effect on Watney’s health.35. We can infer from the passage that .A. “The Martian” is a science-fiction filmB. “The Martian” is a film about colorful life on MarsC. “The Martian” is likely to win an Oscar AwardD. NASA uses “The Martian” to help people understand Mars第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
