Because deserts are so dry, they have no “quilt” to help stop the soil from going away. As a result, they may get very hot during the day with the sun shining, but dont hold the heat overnight. Many deserts can quickly get cold once the sun goes down. Some deserts can reach temperatures of over 100 degrees during the day and then drop below freezing during the night.The largest hot and dry desert in the world is the Sahara Desert in Northern Africa. The Sahara is a sandy desert with great sand hills. It covers over 3 million square miles of Africa. Other large deserts include the Arabian Desert in the Middle East, the Gobi Desert in Northern China and Mongolia, and Kalahari Desert in Africa. Animals that live in the desert are also used to needing little water. Many get all the water they need from the food they eat. Other animals keep water that they can use later. The camel stores up fat in its hump while other animals keep something they need in their tails. Only certain types of plants can live in the terrible environment of the desert. You wont see a lot of tall trees in the desert. Most plants have a way to keep water in their leaves, or trunks so they can live a long time without water. Now deserts cover around 20% of the worlds land, but they are growing. This is called desertification and is caused by different reasons including human activities. The Sahara Desert is growing larger and larger each year. What should we do with it ?( )16.How is the weather during the night in the desert?A. Hot. B. Cold. C. Cool. D. Warm( )17.Where does the camel store up fat?A. In its hump. B. In its stomach. C. In its tail D. In its neck( )18. Why wont we see a lot of tall trees in the desert?A. Because of few people there.B. Because of the sun shining.C. Because of the terrible environmentD, Because of the low temperature( )19.How much of the land do deserts cover in the world? A. One fifth. B. Less than 10%. C. Two fifths D. More than fifth only( )20.Is the Sahara Desert growing or not?A. Nobody knows it.B. Its growing.C. Its not growing.D. It doesnt mention . BIn early November of 1503, during Christopher Columbus fourth and final trip America, his ship was seriously damaged in a storm. Columbus and his men had to live on a small island for several months while they tried to repair their ship and return to Spain. At first, the local people on the island were very kind to the European visitors, giving them all the food and clothes they needed to survive. However, as the months passed, the local people became more and more unhappy with their guests, who were tricking and stealing from them. Finally the locals decided to stop helping. Without food or any way to leave the island, Columbus group was soon in serious trouble. Luckily for Columbus, he had a book about the stars and planets on his ship. It described the movements of all the objects in the night sky. The book, written by a well-known German scientist, said there would be a total lunar eclipse (月食) on the evening of February 29, 1504 and how long it would last. Columbus worked out the difference in time between Germany and North America. He then had a meeting with the local leaders just before the eclipse would take place. In this meeting, Columbus told them his god was angry because the local people were no longer giving food. So his god would take away the moon to punish them. At the moment Columbus finished talking, just as he had planned, the moon began disappearing. The local leaders grew frightened and quickly agreed to provide Columbus with food and anything else he wanted. But first, Columbus god had to return the moon. Columbus told them he would have to discuss the idea with his god on his ship. Knowing the moon would stay completely hidden for about 48 minutes, Columbus returned just before the moon began to reappear. From that day on, until they finally left, Columbus and his men no longer had any trouble getting the food they needed.( )21. At first, the local people helped Columbus and his men by_. A. giving them food B. building a house for them C. repairing their ship D. providing them with a book( )22. The local people became angry because the Europeans_. A. looked very different B. had nothing to trade C. were cheats and thieves D. wanted to take their land( )23. Where did Columbus learn about the lunar eclipse? A. From a book. B. From the moon. C. From his group. D. From the locals.( )24. What did Columbus do after returning to his ship on the night of the meeting? A. He discussed the problem with his god. B. He waited for the eclipse to finish. C. He read about the stars and planets. D. He told his men what happened.( )25. What can we learn about the Europeans from the passage? A. They all believed in god. B. They never returned to Spain. C. They admired the local people. D. They caused their own problems. CRubbish sorting (分类) probably doesnt sound like much fun. But there is a new mobile game that may change your opinion about it, and you might even learn something while you play it-Meet Sortee. Meet Sortee is a puzzle game developed by Flow Studio, a UK company. It makes you think deeply about everyday objects and their meanings.The rule of the game is quite simple. Two bins are placed on either side of the screen. Each of the bins has a label next to it and the label explains what it is for. When an object, such as a car or an apple, appears on the screen, you need to decide which bin it should be sorted into and then send it there by moving your finger.The game seems easy enough at first. But as you move on to more levels, it gets harder. The number of bins increases to three or four and the time given gets shorter. You need to think and move faster. That can be really difficult. There are 400 0bjects in total and more than 100 bins in the game. The more objects you correctly sort, the more game coins you can get. Its a bit like working in a rubbish recycling center, but it has no bad smell. You can download the free game from Apples app store, but it only lets you play the first few levels. If you want to open the next 40 levels, you need to pay 6 yuan for the full game.( ) 26The passage is probably taken from Aa postcard Ba newspaper Ca comic book Da novel( ) 27Of the following，which order is right according to the third paragraph? An object appears on the screen You send it by moving your finger Two bins are placed on either side of the screen You decide which bin to sort the object into A B C D( ) 28Which of the following can we infer(推断)from the passage? AYou can play the full game for freeBYou can play the full game easily CThere are only 2 bins in each level DThere are over 40 levels in the game( ) 29The writer of the passage thinks Athe rule of the game is quite difficult Brubbish sorting in the game is boring Cthe rubbish smells good in a rubbish recycling center Dthe game can help people learn about rubbish sorting( ) 30Whats the best title of the passage? AA Mobile Game BRubbish SortingCApples APP Store DA Recycling Center第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读下面各题 ，请从以下选项（A、B、C、D、E和F）中选出符合31-35题的选项，其中有一项是多余选项。Maybe you are an average student.
