二、阅读理解（共4题，共 20分）

21、Humans sweat to keep cool. But did you know that besides them, only a small percentage of the world’s animals keep cool by sweating? In fact, animals have a variety of ways to beat the cruel heat, some of which you might say are even a little bit strange.

Giraffes

We know that giraffes live in a particularly dry, hot environment, but they don’t sweat. How do they stay cool? The answer lies in their beautiful skin pattern, which is like a large network with a very complex vascular (血管) system under each patch (斑块). A giraffe’s special blood flow can force heat out of its body. Because of their rather large skin surface, this is a more-than-effective way to escape the heat.

Elephants

As the largest land animal on earth, elephants rely on their huge pair of ears. Simply by tapping their ears, elephants can lower their body temperature by 12℃ or more. Moreover, elephants often open their ears when facing the wind to reach this cooling effect.

Dogs

The dog’s way of escaping the heat is probably the most common in our daily lives--sticking their tongues out. By breathing heavily, dogs quickly force the heat from their body and breathe cooler air in, which enters their lungs and cools their entire body.

Koalas

Koalas are well-known for their “laziness”, so it’s natural to see one lying on a branch and think it’s just being its lazy self, but that’s not the case. Researchers say that the koalas select their trees very carefully, looking in hot weather for tree bark that is cooler than the air temperature. By getting into the cool surface of the bark, koalas can stay relatively comfortable during Australia’s powerful heat waves.

【1】How do dogs beat the heat?

A．By choosing the suitable tree skin.

B．By putting their tongues out.

C．By moving their ears.

D．By flowing blood.

【2】Which of the following animals uses their habitats to cool?

A．Giraffe.

B．Elephants.

C．Dogs.

D．Koalas.

【3】What do four animals have in common?

A．They live lazily.

B．They don’t sweat.

C．They don’t stay cool.

D．They live comfortably.

22、After college I wanted to make a difference in the world，so I joined the Peace Corps and became a volunteer teacher in Namibia，my country of assignment(任务).Honestly,my first choice wasn't Africa，but I am extremely grateful that I was sent there.

Various tribes and racial groups live in Namibia and a number of languages are spoken.When Namibia gained independence in 1990,English became the official language.Teachers were supposed to teach in English,but many lacked the language skills to do so.My job was to train the teachers.

Schools were quite bare．Some classrooms consisted merely of sticks stuck in the sand and a metal roof.Each student had only one threadbare uniform.The students had exhausting days.They walked miles to get to school,often barefoot.They also did many daily chores.Even with their mountains of work，few possessions and little opportunity,these children were joyful.I admired that.

This was my first time living abroad in a different culture.Simply adapting to the living conditions was a big adjustment.I had no electricity，running water,phone or Internet.Imagine no air conditioning where the temperature was often above 38 degrees Celsius! However,I could end each day with a splendid African sunset.And at night,I could have an incredible pollution-free view of the entire Milky Way(银河).

Before Namibia，I never thought a girl like me would adapt to such an environment.My experience awakened me to not only the limitations we place on ourselves，but also our amazing ability to adapt.

Step outside of your comfort zone and throw yourself in another culture.You won't regret it.

【1】What do we know about Namibia before 1990?

A．Everyone could speak many languages.

B．Teachers taught English as an official language.

C．It was ruled by other countries.

D．Teachers had a good command of English.

A．Ancient.

B．Uncomfortable.

C．Ugly.

D．Shabby.

【3】Which of the following best describes the author according to Paragraph 4?

B．Brave and clever.

C．Adaptable and optimistic.

D．Generous and kind.

【4】Why did the author feel grateful to volunteer in Namibia?

A．She gained pure friendship from African children.

B．The beautiful scenery in Africa impressed her a lot.

C．She succeeded in challenging her limits.

D．Africans' hard life touched her deeply.

24、Winter is the time of year when people feel very blessed. This isn't because people feel thankful for the cold weather, nor because the important festivals---Christmas or Spring Festival---offer an excuse to celebrate. In fact, “Bless you!” is a common response if someone sneezes, a symptom(症状）of catching a cold or the flu.

Colds and the flu are the most common illnesses of autumn and winter as the weather gets colder. Viruses cause them. If you get one you will feel annoyed, but it is not usually serious. The flu is spread from person to person when we come into contact with a person with the virus. We get the virus on our hands and then we touch our noses and our mouths. We can pass on the flu before we realize we have it. You can infect(传染) others one day before symptoms develop and for up to five days after becoming sick.

Getting a flu vaccination is the best way to prevent the illness. Even if your body has built up antibodies（抗体）for one kind of flu. The vaccine（疫苗）is only effective for one year and viruses are different from year to year, so it is necessary to get a flu vaccination every year. The best time to get the vaccination is October or November. Besides, there are other ways to reduce your chance of getting a flu. Wash your hands. Get enough rest. Eat garlic regularly. Don't let stress control you. Exercise regularly.

A Foothold in Life

A dozen children ran around laughing and playing in my friend’s yard, while we parents sat chatting and sipping cool summer drinks. The barbecue had been cleared away when our host announced a surprise. A huge movable rock wall was loaded in, which was about twelve feet wide, made of gray molded plastic with indented footholds that stretched straight up for what looked like at least a hundred feet. The enthusiastic kids swiftly lined up to give it a try, and with the complete fearlessness most children possess, scrambled to the top and rang the bell that hung at the highest point. There wasn’t really anything to be afraid of since they were belted into place. Three people could climb side by side and talk to each other, so gradually the adults tried it, too.

“Come on; let’s go get in line,” my husband Neil urged. “No, you go ahead without me.” I had all sorts of good excuses: I don’t have the right shoes; I forgot my sunglasses; I have to help the hostess. I have a unique talent for seeing unthinkable danger in almost every situation, and this scene seemed dangerous to me. I watched everyone else having fun, though, and finally convinced myself to try it.

With all the nerve I could gather, I started the climb. The belt wrapped around me like a diaper so there was no way to fall. Yes, I thought, this is fun and safe! Concentrating on each foothold, I slowly made my way up. I avoided looking down to prevent any sudden panic, and within a few minutes I made it to the top and proudly rang the bell.

“Woo hoo!” my daughters called up to me. “Way to go, Col!” Neil yelled.

I enjoyed my success and the enjoyable view of fields and farmland until I realized there was a line below me waiting for a turn. It was time to go down.

注意：

It was one thing to look out at the world in the distance, but it was a whole other thing to look straight down.
