In the 1960s , while studying the volcanic history of Yellowstone National
Park,Bob Christiansen became puzzled about something that,oddly,had not troubled
anyone before:he couldn't find the park's volcano. It had been known for a long time
that Yellowstone was volcanic in nature — that's what accounted for all its hot
springs and other steamy features. But Christiansen couldn't find the Yellowstone
volcano anywhere.
Most of us,when we talk about volcanoes,think of the classic cone(圆锥体)
shapes of a Fuji or Kilimanjaro,which are created when erupting magma(岩浆)piles
up. These can form remarkably quickly. In 1943,a Mexican farmer was surprised to
see smoke rising from a small part of his land. In one week he was the confused owner
of a cone five hundred feet high. Within two years it had topped out at almost fourteen
hundred feet and was more than half a mile across.Altogether there are some ten
thousand of these volcanoes on Earth,all but a few hundred of them extinct. There
is,however,a second less known type of volcano that doesn't involve mountain building.
These are volcanoes so explosive that they burst open in a single big crack,leaving
behind a vast hole,the caldera. Yellowstone obviously was of this second type,but
Christiansen couldn't find the caldera anywhere.
Just at this time NASA decided to test some new high-altitude cameras by taking
photographs of Yellowstone. A thoughtful official passed on some of the copies to
the park authorities on the assumption that they might make a nice blow-up for one
of the visitors' centers. As soon as Christiansen saw the photos,he realized why
he had failed to spot the caldera; almost the whole park-2.2 million acres—was caldera.
The explosion had left a hole more than forty miles across—much too huge to be seen
from anywhere at ground level. At some time in the past Yellowstone must have blown
up with a violence far beyond the scale of anything known to humans.
24. What puzzled Christiansen when he was studying Yellowstone?
A.Its complicated geographical features.
B. Its ever-lasting influence on tourism.
C. The mysterious history of the park.
D. The exact location of the volcano.
25. What does the second-paragraph mainly talk about?
A. The shapes of volcanoes.
B. The impacts of volcanoes.
C. The activities of volcanoes.
D. The heights of volcanoes.
26. What does the underlined word "blow-up" in the last paragraph most probably mean?
A. Hot-air balloon. B. Digital camera.
C. Big photograph. D. Bird's view.
C
Bacteria are an annoying problem for astronauts. The microorganisms(微生物)
from our bodies grow uncontrollably on surfaces of the International Space Station,
so astronauts spend hours cleaning them up each week. How is NASA overcoming this
very tiny big problem? It’s turning to a bunch of high school kids. But not just
any kids. It isdepending on NASA HUNCH high school classrooms, like the one science
teachers Gene Gordon and Donna Himmelberg lead at Fairport High School in Fairport,
New York.
HUNCH is designed to connect high school classrooms with NASA engineers. For the
past two years, Gordon’s students have been studying ways to kill bacteria in zero
gravity, and they think they’re close to a solution(解决方案). “We don’t give
the students any breaks. They have to do it just like NASA engineers,” says Florence
Gold, a project manager.
“There are no tests,” Gordon says. “There is no graded homework. There almost
are no grades, other than‘Are you working towards your goal?’ Basically, it’s ‘I’ve
got to produce this product and then, at the end of year, present it to NASA.’
Engineers come and really do an in-person review, and…it’s not a very nice thing
at times. It’s a hard business review of your product.”
Gordon says the HUNCH program has an impact(影响) on college admissions and
practical life skills. “These kids are so absorbed in their studies that I just sit
back. I don’t teach.” And that annoying bacteria? Gordon says his students are
emailing daily with NASA engineers about the problem, readying a workable solution
to test in space.
27.What do we know about the bacteria in the International Space Station?
A. They are hard to get rid of. B. They lead to air pollution.
C. They appear different forms. D. They damage the instruments.
28. What is the purpose of the HUNCH program?
A. To strengthen teacher-student relationships.
B. To sharpen students’ communication skills.
C. To allow students to experience zero gravity.
D. To link space technology with school education
29. What do the NASA engineers do for the students in the program?
A. Check their product. B. Guide project designs
C. Adjust work schedules. D. Grade their homework.
30. What is the best title for the text?
A. NASA: The Home of Astronauts.
B. Space: The Final Homework Frontier.
C. Nature: An Outdoor Classroom.
D. HUNCH:A College Admission Reform.

选项。
In an online class, developing healthy patterns of communication with professors
is very important. 31 While I have only listed two of each, there are obviously
many other situations that can arise. Students should be able to extend the logic(逻辑)
of each to their particular circumstance.
Do's
• 32 Questions about subject content are generally welcomed. Before asking
questions about the course design, read the syllabus ( 教 学 大 纲 ) and learning
management system information to be sure the answer isn't hiding in plain sight.
• Participate in discussion forums(论坛), blogs and other open-ended forums
for dialogue. 33 Be sure to stay on topic and not offer irrelevant information.
Make a point, and make it safe for others to do the same.
Don'ts
• Don't share personal information or stories. Professors are not trained nurses,
financial aid experts or your best friends. If you are in need of a deadline extension,
simply explain the situation to the professor. 34
• Don't openly express annoyance at a professor or class. 35 When a student
attacks a professor on the social media, the language used actually says more about
the student. If there is truly a concern about a professor's professionalism or ability,
be sure to use online course evaluations to calmly offer your comments.
A. That's what they are for.
B. Turn to an online instructor for help.
C. If more information is needed, they will ask.
D. Remember that online professors get a lot of emails.
E. Below are some common do's and don' ts for online learners.
F. Everyone has taken a not-so-great class at one time or another.
G. Ask questions, but make sure they are good, thoughtful questions.

and often humorous 39 with the students he transports to and from school. The

non-profit organization, On Point for College. Although the 47 asks the members

the welfare and safety of the students. If they have problems with registration, Wilson
is there to 49 them. If they run out of certain daily necessities. Wilson will drive
to the nearest store and purchase what’s needed. If a student gets hungry on the
long drives to and from school, Wilson never 50 to buy them a meal.
For many students, Wilson’s help is not only appreciated, it’s also entirely
51 for them to be able to complete their college education. Some students don’t have
a reliable car, while others have to 52 vehicles with parents who work six days
a week. For them, riding with Wilson has 53 them to complete their education —
but according to Wilson, he benefits just as much from the 54. "I just love driving
and I love these kids, "Wilson said. "It’s such a(n) 55 to be a part of these
kids’ lives, even just for a few hours, getting to know them and hearing their
stories."

第二节:概要写作(共 1 小题;满分 25 分)
阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇 60 词左右的内容概要。
During all kinds of holidays, millions of people will buy gifts for loved ones.
This is a great thing but tons of those people will make the same mistake,
and buy the wrong gift. What’s going on?
Gift buying has become a selfish deed. We don’t actually look for things people
want to receive. Instead, and too many of our gifts’ harm, we tend to look for things
that we want to give. It’s a subtle(微妙的), but pretty significant problem.
Research has shown that givers tend to value the gifts they buy considerably more
than receivers. Gifts are valued about 10 to 33 percent less by receivers than what
givers paid for them, Joel Waldfogel noted in Scroogenomics: Why You Shouldn’t Buy
Presents for the Holidays, his 2019 book on gift-giving.
The disagreement seems to come from a simple wrong belief that thoughtful presents
are the best presents. They are not. In fact, they might be the worst presents. The
more thought you put into a present, the more likely you are to get lost in buying
what the person you’re buying the present for actually wants.
In other words, people let their gift-giving egos(自我)get in the way of great
presents. Especially when the receiver is someone they want to show they know really
well. Fortunately, the answer to our same insistence on guessing what people want
is simple: stop it.
If that’s too hard, or impersonal, there’s another helpful rule. Instead of
buying restrictive(限制的)gifts, like gift cards for specific stores, buy gifts that
allow for flexibility, like gift cards that can be used more broadly(or better yet,
cash). People tend to prefer gift cards to actual gifts, and cash to both, Steffel
explained. Steffel’s latest research, which focuses on gift card giving, points to
exactly this point—that versatility(多用途) is the key to better gift giving.

写作:2:
Many people buy wrong gifts. Because they buy what they want to give, instead of what
the receivers prefer. The value of the gifts is based on givers’ consideration rather than
receivers’. The thoughtful present might be the worst. So we should buy gifts that allow
for versatility which is the key to better gift giving.
