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.

B

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.

seemed unsatisfied with the neighbour.

29. Which of the following best describes Starr when she was stuck

A. terrified

C. doubtful

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,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.
