The Most Extreme Travel Adventures In The World
The driest place on Earth: Atacama Desert,Chile
You'll definitely need the right kind of sunscreen if you plan on
traveling through this desert. From October 1903 to January
1918,the Atacama Desert did not see so much as one drop of rain,
making it the longest rainless period in the world's recorded
populated, the Atacama Desert has several hotels to
choose from that cater to tourists who come to explore the land.
The hottest place on Earth: Lut Desert, Iran
Here, temperatures soar as high as 158 degrees F, so it's important
to have a game plan for staying cool and know the signs of heat
stroke in case you develop symptoms. According to a local legend,
the name Dasht-e Lut means “toasted wheat” in Persian,
referencing a story about a load of wheat that burst into flames
after being accidentally left out in the desert for a few days.
Though tourists visit this desert land, it's a destination only for
those willing to take on the challenge of surviving the heat and the
unbearably dry climate.
The closest place to outer space: Mount Chimborazo,Ecuador
An inactive volcano that last erupted in approximately 550 AD,
Mount Chimborazo stands at over 20,000 feet high. While Mount
Everest is over 29,000 feet tall, due to the position of the mountain
on the earth's surface, the peak of Mount Chimborazo is the
furthest spot from the center of the earth. That also means that
standing on it will put you closest to outer space than man can
ever reach on foot.
The most isolated place on Earth: Tristan da Cunha, United
Kingdom
Looking for a getaway from the everyday Forget these popular
island getaways; this is about as far away from it as you can get.
Discovered by Portuguese explorer Tristao da Cunha in1506, the
island is home to fewer than 300 inhabitants and has no airport;
Tristan da Cunha is accessible only by sea.
21. Which of the followings is a must during your visit to the
Atacama Desert
A. Book a suitable hotel.
a basic knowledge of Martian soil.
C. Have a game plan for staying cool.
D. Buy a suitable sunscreen.
22. Which place best suits people who have a high tolerance to
high temperature
A. The Atacama Desert.
B. The Lut Desert.
C. Mount Chimborazo.
D. Tristan da Cunha.
23. How can one get to Tristan da Cunha
A. By plane.
boat.
train.
car.

During my trip to Europe, I had the opportunity to visit
Stonehenge,which is considered one of the most famous
prehistoric sites in the world. As I approached the area, it became
clear to me that it was a circle of huge stones.
The stones were huge. Our tour guide said that the square stones
weigh nearly five tons each, stand eighteen feet high, and are three
feet thick. It was amazing to see them up close. Something that I
really asked myself was how the ancient people could have been
wise enough to arrange the stones as upright pillars(柱子),then
connect the stones overhead, and place them altogether to form a
circle. It was a great feeling to admire the magnificent stones up
close.
I tried to imagine the figures of the ancient people moving the
heavy stones,but it was hard to imagine how they could achieve
such incredible work. As I admired the stones up close, I almost
imagined myself back in time, standing there,watching the people
move the stones.
It was really strange. As I walked around the stones, I noticed how
segregated they were: there was nothing else standing around
them, no community or anything. Were they also disconnected in
ancient times If so, why had the ancient people constructed them
that way And why did they place them far away from any
community If only I could really travel back in time and find out!
My thoughts were interrupted by our tour guide's voice. He was
explaining that nobody knew about the exact origin of the stones,
but most scientists agreed that it dates from the time of the Druids,
the first people in England. He said that there were many different
theories about why Stonehenge was created. Some people believe
that Stonehenge was an astronomical calendar because it was built
in a circular design; they think it might represent the passing of
time.
I left that awesome place with the feeling that many people had
been here
before me,each with a different understanding of the place, each
wondering about something great and unknown that took place
there a long time ago in the past. It was an unforgettable
experience.
24. What did the author want to know when he looked at the stone
A. How the ancient people lifted the stones.
B. How much each stone weighed.
C. Why the stones were arranged in that way.
the ancient people used such huge stones.
does the underlined word “segregated” in paragraph4
means
A. special

26. What do we know about the stones from the text
stones originated from the time of the Druids.
B. Stonehenge may have been built as some kind of religious
structure.
C. The arrangement of these stones is naturally formed.
D. The circular design of these stones may be a symbol of time
passing.
does the text probably come from
A. An official report.
B.A history paper.
C. A geography textbook.
D.A cultural journal.

Milo is a rescue dog, adopted by 20-year-old Makayla Swift. But
Milo is also a rescuer. One morning in November 2021,Swift
opened her front door in Silver Spring,Maryland,and Milo took off
running.
Milo ran to the house across the street. He seemed unsatisfied with
this house, so he ran to the one next door, Swift on his tail.
“He started scratching on the front door,” Swift says. “I'm thinking,
'Why is he really trying to break into her house '”
She was embarrassed. Not everyone wants a strange dog in their
house. But as she tried to drag Milo away, she could hear a sound
coming through an open upstairs window. It was a voice yelling
“Help!”
Hours earlier, around , Sherry Starr had risen from her bed.
“All of a sudden, standing there between the toilet and the tub, I
slipped,”she says.“I went down-hard-on the tile floor.” Starr is 85.
She was stuck.
“I could not move at all,” says Starr, who was jammed between the
toilet and the tub. Starr was scared. “ I'm thinking: I'm just going to
die here,” she says.
Her best bet,she decided, was to listen for the letter carrier in the
afternoon and scream like the the next few hours, Starr
practiced yelling:“Help!Help! Hellllp!”
“Her voice was very faint,”says Swift. “You had to be right at the
front door to hear yell for help.”
Unless you were Milo, who apparently heard Starr the moment
Swift opened her own front door.
Swift called 911.Paramedics(护理人员)thought they'd have to
remove the toilet to rescue Starr, but they gave one last pull-and
out she popped. Though bruised and battered, Starr declined a trip
to the hospital.
Swift has known her share of distress(痛苦).Two years ago, her
mother died. She says Milo has helped her with her grief. “That dog
is a blessing,” she says.
28. Why did Milo start running when Swift opened her front door
A. He wanted some fresh air.
B. He was in search of food.
heard a sound from the nearby house.
seemed unsatisfied with the neighbour.
29. Which of the following best describes Starr when she was stuck
A. terrified

C. doubtful

led to the rescue of Starr
A. Swift's kindness.

B. Milo's sharp hearing.

D. Milo is a blessing according to Makayla Swift.

Over the past few years, China's aerospace industry has witnessed
many landmark events. Apart from celebrating these scientific
achievements, the public has also developed a growing interest in
the missions' unique names, of which many are derived from
China's myths and legends.
China's spacecraft are called Shenzhou. This literally means
“heavenly ship” in Chinese, and is also a homonym for the Chinese
words “divine land”, which is a term used in literary works to refer
to the country. China's moon exploration project and its lunar
probe(月球探测器)are both named after a Chinese goddess of the
六校联盟联考英语试卷 第6页 (共12页)
moon,Chang'e. In 2013,the Chang'e-3 lunar probe landed on the
moon and was carried around by a lunar rover(月球车)called Yutu.
The two names perfectly match the legend of the moon fairy and
her pet. In another example,the relay satellite for the Chang'e-4
moon exploration mission is called Queqiao, or “magpie bridge”.
The magpie bridge, in a Chinese folk tale, was formed by millions
of magpies, so that a separated couple could meet each other
despite the Milky Way. Likewise,the Queqiao relay satellite serves
as a “space-bridge”for communication between the moon and the
earth.
Chinese people's eagerness for the universe dated back to ancient
times, some even tried to explore. Luban, a great inventor living in
the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, made a flying wood bird. Others created
many myths and legends, such as “Kuafu Chases the Sun”, to
explain phenomena that they could not explain. These traditional
stories have become the source of inspiration for Chinese scientists
in the naming of major space missions.
The famous spacecraft and rovers built by the United States
include the Challenger,the Opportunity and the Spirit, whose
names reflect a positive and enterprising spirit. This is quite unlike
how the Chinese name their spacecraft,which reflects the Chinese
people's sense of romance and awe for space as well as their
efforts to pass down traditional culture and their ancestors' spirit of
scientific discovery. Nevertheless, all these names, Chinese or
foreign, showcase the dreams of humankind and our collective
pursuit to discover the secrets of space.
When Apollo 11 prepared to land on the moon, the control center
on earth told the astronauts onboard to “watch for a lovely girl
with a big rabbit”, which refers to Chang'e and her rabbit Yutu.
With the rapid progress of China's aerospace industry, more and
more Chinese stories embodying Chinese romanticism will be
shown to the world.
32. How is paragraph 2 developed
making comparisons.
B. By describing processes.
giving examples.
D. By analyzing causes.
33. Why the relay satellite was named “Queqiao”
A. Because this name can draw public attention.
e this name comes from a Chinese folk tale.
e this name reflects Chinese romanticism.
e this name indicates the function of the relay satellite.
34. What can we infer from the last three paragraphs
ancient Chinese explored the space to create myths and
legends.
spaces missions' names are originated from traditional
stories.
and the US name their spacecraft differently because of
different pursuits.
D. China's aerospace industry has changed the world.
35. What is the best title for the text
A. Space Missions' Names.
B. How to name Space Missions
Missions' Names Embody Chinese Romanticism.
e Myths and Legends.

moon exploration mission is called Queqiao, or “magpie bridge”.
The magpie bridge, in a Chinese folk tale, was formed by millions
of magpies, so that a separated couple could meet each other
despite the Milky Way. Likewise,the Queqiao relay satellite serves
as a “space-bridge”for communication between the moon and the
earth.
Chinese people's eagerness for the universe dated back to ancient
times, some even tried to explore. Luban, a great inventor living in
the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, made a flying wood bird. Others created
many myths and legends, such as “Kuafu Chases the Sun”, to
explain phenomena that they could not explain. These traditional
stories have become the source of inspiration for Chinese scientists
in the naming of major space missions.
The famous spacecraft and rovers built by the United States
include the Challenger,the Opportunity and the Spirit, whose
names reflect a positive and enterprising spirit. This is quite unlike
how the Chinese name their spacecraft,which reflects the Chinese
people's sense of romance and awe for space as well as their
efforts to pass down traditional culture and their ancestors' spirit of
scientific discovery. Nevertheless, all these names, Chinese or
foreign, showcase the dreams of humankind and our collective
pursuit to discover the secrets of space.
When Apollo 11 prepared to land on the moon, the control center
on earth told the astronauts onboard to “watch for a lovely girl
with a big rabbit”, which refers to Chang'e and her rabbit Yutu.
With the rapid progress of China's aerospace industry, more and
more Chinese stories embodying Chinese romanticism will be
shown to the world.
