to be outside the car?yet he and his buddy had planned to walk 3.1 miles up camelback mountain, just as every hiker visiting phoenix does. so up the trail (小径) they started.right away, everything felt off. matt and his friend are young, and proven backpackers. but with the heat, every two or three steps, they had to stop to drink.they were 45 minutes in, now barely moving, and their eight quarts of water were almost gone.“time just slowed.”from around a bend came a hiker moving down the trail with a backpack on his back.“are you guys ok?” he asked.“yeah,” matt said.the man searched matts eyes. “you look like youre about to pass out.”matt stared back at him, his dehydrated ( 脱 水 的 ) brain barely working. i know that face, he thought. amazingly, he did. matt had seen a video about the guy right at his desk in his office.matt is an associate photo editor for a magazine, and he had recently searched for a picture of a man devoted to saving hikers from the sneak (溜) -up-on-you heat of camelback. his colleagues had read about this man and his deeds of hiking up and down camelback helping hikers and wanted to put him in the magazine. now the hero was in front of matt, and it was matt who needed saving.scott cullymore guided matt and his friend to a rocky seat. then he pulled chilled bottles of poland spring from his insulated (隔热的) pack. only then, sitting, did matt realize, wow, hes right i am not doing well.as he came to his senses, matt eventually remembered he had his camera. this unprepared photograph of scott, and his good deeds made it on the magazine.“i dont know what to say,” matt said afterwards. “i talk to everyday heroes a lot for my job, but to get help from one it made kindness and heroism all so real.”24. why didnt matt want to be outside the car?a. because it was hot out there.b. because scott told him not to.c. because it was a long way up the mountain.d. because mountain-climbing had gone out of fashion.25. what does the underlined word “off” in

center of our solar system. called the parker solar probe, it will make 24 orbits (轨道) of the sun. each time, the probe will pass closer and closer to the star that gives earth light and heat. at the closest point to the sun in its orbit, it will take measurements that will help scientists better understand the nature of the sun.the parker probe is constructed in such a way that it is able to stand up to flying directly into the suns corona ( 日 冕 ). the heat shield ( 盾 ) on the probe experiences temperatures up to 2,500 degrees fahrenheit (1,371 degrees celsius), but the inner instruments remain at around room temperature. the parker probe accomplishes this by pointing its shield directly toward the sun.the probe flew close to the sun for the first time on november 6, traveling at up to 375,000 miles per hour. while it was taking measurements, it passed behind the sun. because it was on the opposite side of the sun from earth, it could not send the measurements back to scientists on our planets. when the probe finally appeared from behind the sun on december 7, it was able to send its information. it also began sending photographs that its cameras had taken of the suns corona,showing it in more detail than scientists had ever seen before.for years, scientists have known that the suns corona is about 300 times hotter than the suns surface. scientists dont understand why this huge temperature difference exists. they hope that the data and photographs they get from the parker solar probe will help solve this mystery.28. which of the following is the main purpose of this article?a. to examine minor objects that are in outer space.b. to discuss a space mission that is still in progress.c. to analyze challenges that nasa has faced in space.d. to record successes that the first space probe achieved.29. what does the article explain about the parker probe?a. how the probe nearly failed.b. how the probe reached its top speed.c. how the probe made an attempt to land.d. how some of its important parts stay cool.30. why were scientists able to see the corona in great detail?a. because of images that they had received.b. because of a key limitation in their method.c. because of maps that they had made on earth.d. because of an event that occurred inside the sun.31. what does the writer explain in the conclusion of this article?a. an approach that wont be adopted.b. a leadership role that must be filled.c. a question that hasnt been answered.d. a business model that has been tested.dgrowing up, javier asensio rode the bus to school and around town on weekends. then, when car-sharing arrived in madrid a few years ago, he started driving more frequently. but for the past year hes changed to another choice: electric scooters (小型摩托车) in a rainbow of bright colors available across the city. “scooters are by far my first choice,” says the 27-year-old management consultant. “traffic and parking are easy, and i love riding them.”a half-dozen companies have flooded madrid with electric sit-down scooters. riders pick them up and drop them off anywhere in the city center and surrounding areas, paying about 25 cents per minute. they are booked and billed via a smartphone app, which can guide users to the nearest bike, track how long theyve been riding, and e-mail a bill moments after they park. the city has about 5,000 scooters, up five times from a year agothe worlds biggest fleet (车队), says enrico howe, an analyst at mobility consulting firm motion tag. madrid is “the capital of scooter-sharing globally,” he says.madrid had long struggled with heavy traffic and the resulting noise, pollution, and productivity loss. the government has fought back with various measures: electric car-sharing, zones where combustion engines ( 内 燃 机 ) face limitations, and a proposal for free metro rides on bad days. e-scooters will be a necessary part of the strategy (策略). the city has made it legal for scooters to use bus lanes ( 车 道 ), has allowed them to push ahead of cars at traffic lights, and is seeking to expand the areas where they can be used.for the companies that provide the services, madrid has become a testing ground as they eye expansion across europe and beyond. the citys dry climate and overcrowded center make it a good place to try out equipment and better understand what users want. and with so many operators jumping into the market, theyll all be forced to improve their efficiency if they hope to survive, says luis gonzalez, head of the local operations of coup, a unit of germanys robert bosch gmbh that arrived in madrid last year. this year, coup expects to increase its fleet in the city by 60 percent, to more than 1,300 bikes. “the lessons we learn in madrid will be surely applied elsewhere,” he says.32. what is the function of the first paragraph?a. to arouse readers concern about the topic.b. to lead to the main subject of the whole passage.c. to explain why javier loves riding sharing scooters.d. to emphasize how important it is to travel on e-scooters.33. which of the following is not a reason for the popularity of scooter-sharing in madrid?a. they are easy to park.b. its convenient to travel around on them.c. its one of the measures the government takes.d. you can find the scooter available for use with ease.34. what can we learn from the article?a. the competition in the scooter-sharing market will be fierce.b. there will be some kind of limitation if expansion continues.c. the government is not planning to promote this kind of service.d. companies flood into the market because its good for environment.35. which of the following can be the best title for the article?a. testing ground for e-scooters.b. crazy for e-scooters in madrid.c. sharing economy makes life better.d. opportunities facing madrid government. 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。选项中有两项为多余选项。test-taking tipspassing tests is a huge part of succeeding at school.
