BHelpful.CUnnecessary. DMeaningless.24What would be the best title of the text?AThe life of Fatima SerwonaBAn unusual village in UgandaCMicrofinance has changed the worldDMicrofinance loans make a differenceBGrand Canyon All AmericanHelicopter TourTime：7：00 am6：30 pmLocation：Las Vegas，NevadaTicket Prices：$300 for adults，$180 for childrenTake off from Las Vegas Airport on an exciting flight to the Grand Canyon (大峡谷)Youll enjoy a 45minute helicopter (直升机) flight each way，land deep in the canyon for a picnic，and fly low over the city of Las Vegas on your return.Grand Canyon All American Helicopter Tour is a wonderful tour that leaves you with time in the day free to explore Las Vegas.Front of Line PassTime：8：00 am5：30 pmLocation：Los Angeles，CaliforniaTicket Prices：$130 for adults，$70 for childrenEach day，Universal Studios Hollywood offers a limited number of Front of Line Passes.Get ready for the greatest Hollywood movie experience！Go behind the scenes on the worldfamous Studio Tour to explore where Hollywood movies are made and see firsthand the world s largest 3D experience.Then，face action headon in exciting rides，shows and attractions that put you inside some of the worlds biggest movies.Big Island Day TripTime：6：00 am7：30 pmLocation：Oahu，HawaiiTicket Prices：$350 for adults，$200 for childrenThis adventure is a great way to explore and learn about volcanoes.A short walk to the black sand beach takes you over an area that was once the ocean！Look to the east，and you may see steam or lava flowing downstream towards the sea.Visits along the way include the Mauna Loa Macadamia Nut Factory and a Kona coffee shop.Another important part of this tour is your visit to the Rainbow Falls，where you might be lucky enough to see the rushing water mix with sunlight to form beautiful rainbows.25Grand Canyon All American Helicopter Tour_.Aincludes exciting rides and showsBprovides tourists with a free picnicCtakes less time than Big Island Day TripDshows tourists around Las Vegas at night26In Universal Studios Hollywood，visitors can_.Awatch the worlds largest 3D moviesBgo behind the scenes and make moviesChelp produce the biggest movie in the worldDenjoy themselves in a limited time without tickets27If a kid and his parents go on a tour of Front of Line Pass，they should pay _.A$200 B$330C$780 D$90028Where does this text probably come from?AA travel guide. BA travel diary.CA map for tourists. DA newspaper report.COn July 4,1997，space exploration took a huge step.On that day，a spacecraft called Pathfinder landed on Mars.The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) sent Pathfinder to discover new information about the Red Planet.The mission was a complete success.After landing，Pathfinder sent a small vehicle，Sojourner，onto the planets surface.Sojourner explored more than 250 square meters of Mars.Together，Pathfinder and Sojourner took more than 16,000 photos of the rocky landscape (风景)Engineers designed Sojourner to last for only seven days，but the little vehicle ran twelve times longer！Pathfinder surprised scientists，too.It sent back information for almost three months.That was three times longer than it was built to last.Because Pathfinder and Sojourner ran for so long，scientists got more information than they ever dreamed of getting.For one thing，they discovered that Mars is very sandy.Pictures of sand dunes (沙丘) around the landing site showed that maybe Mars once had water.Scientists know that water means life.Was there ever life on Mars？We dont know yet.Besides，the Pathfinder mission told scientists that Mars is dusty.Huge “dust devils (尘卷风)” on Mars sent out lots of dust into the Martian air.Pathfinder also recorded Martian temperatures at 200 degrees below zero Fahrenheit.At that temperature，a glass of water would freeze solid in just a few seconds.In October，scientists lost Pathfinders signal because the spacecraft s battery had run down.They tried to find the signal again but had no luck.The mission officially ended on November 4.Scientists hope to use the knowledge from this mission to better understand how life on Earth began.Theyll also use it to plan future Mars missions.29How long did Sojourner work on Mars?AAbout one week. BAbout one month.CAbout two weeks. DAbout three months.30Which of the following is NOT the characteristic of Mars?ACold. BRainy.CDusty. DSandy.31What can we learn from the text?AMartian temperatures caused Pathfinders battery to fail.BDust devils on Mars made the photographs hard to see.CThe space explorations of Mars will be continued.DScientists guess that life on Earth began on Mars.32The text is most probably taken from a_.Atravel guide Bhistory paperCscience magazine Dgeography textbookDFor most visitors to Hawaii Volcanoes National Park，your first stop is the Kilauea Visitors Center.It is open daily from 7：45 am to 5：00 pm (the park itself is open 24 hours to give visitors the chance to view lava flows at night)Not far from the Visitors Center is the Volcano Housean interesting hotel with great views of the Kilauea crater.The hotel includes a restaurant，gift shops and a snack bar (小吃店)Note that it will be closed for renovations (翻修) for much of this year.There are two trip choices available.Half Day or Full Day.If you take the Half Day trip，you begin by checking out the Visitors Center.Then take your time and drive around the Crater Rim Drive.Stop at the various sites and lookout points.Visiting the park in a half day will give you a memorable view of the amazing volcanoes.This is a great choice for families with kids and those who hope to learn something about Hawaiis volcanoes but dont desire to make an exploration out of it.The Full Day trip starts with the Crater Rim Drive.Then you continue on to the Chain of Craters Road in the afternoon.Bring a picnic lunch and stop at the picnic area at the Kealakomo overlook (高地) halfway down the road.Continue driving towards the sea.Stop at Puu Loa for a look at some beautiful petroglyphs (岩石画)drawings made in the volcanic rock by ancient Hawaiians.Then continue on to the end of the Chain of Craters Road.Find out if there will be viewable lava flows into the ocean.If so，stay until dark and sit in silence as the sun sets and the lava lights up as it flows into the ocean.Drive back up the Chain of Craters Road and end your volcano experience by enjoying dinner at a restaurant in the town of Volcano.33What can we learn about the Kilauea Visitors Center?AIt opens all day long.BIt is under repair now.CIt has a restaurant

begins to notice and react to the world around them，you may find yourself wondering how you possibly pass all of the things that they need to become a responsible，respectful adult._36_A child who learns to respect all he meets not only receives respect from others in kind，but learns to respect himself as well.Here are some instructions on how to teach a child respect.Show your child

conversation.Agree to disagree._38_Explain your decision so that he will understand your reasoning and expect respectful responses.Disagreeing with you isnt equal to disobedience.Control your impulse to overreact.When a situation arises between you and your child that requires calmness，keep in mind that you are supposed to be modeling correct behavior._39_Praise，praise，praise！So much is focused on

agree with you.CRespect is necessary for a meaningful and successful life.DIf he sees you lose your temper，he is more likely to respond that way in future.ELet your child know whats expected.FWhen you
