The Most Extreme Travel Adventures In The World
The driest place on Earth：Atacama Desert，Chile
You'll definitely need the right kind of sunscreen if you plan on traveling through this desert.From October 1903 to January 1918，the Atacama Desert did not see so much as one drop of rain，making it the longest rainless period in the world's recorded history.Lessly populated，the Atacama Desert has several hotels to choose from that cater to tourists who come to explore the land.
The hottest place on Earth：Lut Desert，Iran
Here，temperatures soar as high as 158 degrees F，so it's important to have a game plan for staying cool and know the signs of heat stroke in case you develop symptoms.According to a local legend，the name Dasht-e Lut means "toasted wheat" in Persian，referencing a story about a load of wheat that burst into flames after being accidentally left out in the desert for a few days.Though tourists visit this desert land，it's a destination only for those willing to take on the challenge of surviving the heat and the unbearably dry climate.
The closest place to outer space：Mount Chimborazo，Ecuador
An inactive volcano that last erupted in approximately 550 AD，Mount Chimborazo stands at over 20，000 feet high.While Mount Everest is over 29，000 feet tall，due to the position of the mountain on the earth's surface，the peak of Mount Chimborazo is the furthest spot from the center of the earth.That also means that standing on it will put you closest to outer space than man can ever reach on foot.
The most isolated place on Earth：Tristan da Cunha，United Kingdom
Looking for a getaway from the everyday？Forget these popular island getaways；this is about as far away from it as you can get.Discovered by Portuguese explorer Tristao da Cunha in1506，the island is home to fewer than 300 inhabitants and has no airport；Tristan da Cunha is accessible only by sea.
1. Which of the followings is a must during your visit to the Atacama Desert？ ______
A. Book a suitable hotel.
B. Have a basic knowledge of Martian soil.
C. Have a game plan for staying cool.
D. Buy a suitable sunscreen.
2. Which place best suits people who have a high tolerance to high temperature？ ______
A. The Atacama Desert. B. The Lut Desert.
C. Mount Chimborazo. D. Tristan da Cunha.
3. How can one get to Tristan da Cunha？ ______
A. By plane. B. By boat. C. By train. D. By car.

During my trip to Europe，I had the opportunity to visit Stonehenge，which is considered one of the most famous prehistoric sites in the world.As I approached the area，it became clear to me that it was a circle of huge stones.
The stones were huge.Our tour guide said that the square stones weigh nearly five tons each，stand eighteen feet high，and are three feet thick.It was amazing to see them up close.Something that I really asked myself was how the ancient people could have been wise enough to arrange the stones as upright pillars（柱子），then connect the stones overhead，and place them altogether to form a circle.It was a great feeling to admire the magnificent stones up close.
I tried to imagine the figures of the ancient people moving the heavy stones，but it was hard to imagine how they could achieve such incredible work.As I admired the stones up close，I almost imagined myself back in time，standing there，watching the people move the stones.
It was really strange.As I walked around the stones，I noticed how segregated they were：there was nothing else standing around them，no community or anything.Were they also disconnected in ancient times？If so，why had the ancient people constructed them that way？And why did they place them far away from any community？If only I could really travel back in time and find out!
My thoughts were interrupted by our tour guide's voice.He was explaining that nobody knew about the exact origin of the stones，but most scientists agreed that it dates from the time of the Druids，the first people in England.He said that there were many different theories about why Stonehenge was created.Some people believe that Stonehenge was an astronomical calendar because it was built in a circular design；they think it might represent the passing of time.
I left that awesome place with the feeling that many people had been here before me，each with a different understanding of the place，each wondering about something great and unknown that took place there a long time ago in the past.It was an unforgettable experience.
4. What did the author want to know when he looked at the stone？ ______
A. How the ancient people lifted the stones.
B. How much each stone weighed.
C. Why the stones were arranged in that way.
D. Why the ancient people used such huge stones.
5. What does the underlined word"segregated"in paragraph4 means？ ______
A. special. B. separated. C. creative. D. ancient.
6. What do we know about the stones from the text？ ______
A. These stones originated from the time of the Druids.
B. Stonehenge may have been built as some kind of religious structure.
C. The arrangement of these stones is naturally formed.
D. The circular design of these stones may be a symbol of time passing.
7. Where does the text probably come from？ ______
A. An official report. B. A history paper.
C. A geography textbook. D. A cultural journal.

Milo is a rescue dog，adopted by 20-year-old Makayla Swift.But Milo is also a rescuer.One morning in November 2021，Swift opened her front door in Silver Spring，Maryland，and Milo took off running.
Milo ran to the house across the street.He seemed unsatisfied with this house，so he ran to the one next door，Swift on his tail.
"He started scratching on the front door，" Swift says. "I'm thinking， 'Why is he really trying to break into her house？'"
She was embarrassed.Not everyone wants a strange dog in their house.But as she tried to drag Milo away，she could hear a sound coming through an open upstairs window.It was a voice yelling "Help!"
Hours earlier，around 4 a.m.，Sherry Starr had risen from her bed. "All of a sudden，standing there between the toilet and the tub，I slipped，"she says."I went down-hard-on the tile floor." Starr is 85.She was stuck.
"I could not move at all，" says Starr，who was jammed between the toilet and the tub.Starr was scared. " I'm thinking：I'm just going to die here，" she says.
Her best bet，she decided，was to listen for the letter carrier in the afternoon and scream like the dickens.For the next few hours，Starr practiced yelling： "Help!Help!Help!"
"Her voice was very faint，" says Swift. "You had to be right at the front door to hear Mrs.Starr yell for help."
Unless you were Milo，who apparently heard Starr the moment Swift opened her own front door.
Swift called 911.Paramedics（护理人员）thought they'd have to remove the toilet to rescue Starr，but they gave one last pull and out she popped.Though bruised and battered，Starr declined a trip to the hospital.
Swift has known her share of distress（痛苦）.Two years ago，her mother died.She says Milo has helped her with her grief. "That dog is a blessing，" she says.
8. Why did Milo start running when Swift opened her front door？ ______
A. He wanted some fresh air.

Over the past few years，China's aerospace industry has witnessed many landmark events.Apart from celebrating these scientific achievements，the public has also developed a growing interest in the missions' unique names，of which many are derived from China's myths and legends.
China's spacecraft are called Shenzhou.This literally means "heavenly ship" in Chinese，and is also a homonym for the Chinese words "divine land"，which is a term used in literary works to refer to the country.China's moon exploration project and its lunar probe（月球探测器）are both named after a Chinese goddess of the moon，Chang'e.In 2013，the Chang'e-3 lunar probe landed on the moon and was carried around by a lunar rover（月球车）called Yutu.The two names perfectly match the legend of the moon fairy and her pet.In another example，the relay satellite for the Chang'e-4 moon exploration mission is called Queqiao，or "magpie bridge".The magpie bridge，in a Chinese folk tale，was formed by millions of magpies，so that a separated couple could meet each other despite the Milky Way.Likewise，the Queqiao relay satellite serves as a "space-bridge"for communication between the moon and the earth.
Chinese people's eagerness for the universe dated back to ancient times，some even tried to explore.Luban，a great inventor living in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty，made a flying wood bird.Others created many myths and legends，such as "Kuafu Chases the Sun"，to explain phenomena that they could not explain.These traditional stories have become the source of inspiration for Chinese scientists in the naming of major space missions.
The famous spacecraft and rovers built by the United States include the Challenger，the Opportunity and the Spirit，whose names reflect a positive and enterprising spirit.This is quite unlike how the Chinese name their spacecraft，which reflects the Chinese people's sense of romance and awe for space as well as their efforts to pass down traditional culture and their ancestors' spirit of scientific discovery.Nevertheless，all these names，Chinese or foreign，showcase the dreams of humankind and our collective pursuit to discover the secrets of space.
When Apollo 11 prepared to land on the moon，the control center on earth told the astronauts onboard to "watch for a lovely girl with a big rabbit"，which refers to Chang'e and her rabbit Yutu.With the rapid progress of China's aerospace industry，more and more Chinese stories embodying Chinese romanticism will be shown to the world.
12. How is paragraph 2 developed？ ______
A. By making comparisons. B. By describing processes.
C. By giving examples. D. By analyzing causes.
13. Why the relay satellite was named "Queqiao"？ ______
A. Because this name can draw public attention.
B. Because this name comes from a Chinese folk tale.
C. Because this name reflects Chinese romanticism.
D. Because this name indicates the function of the relay satellite.
14. What can we infer from the last three paragraphs？ ______
A. The ancient Chinese explored the space to create myths and legends.
B. Some spaces missions' names are originated from traditional stories.
C. China and the US name their spacecraft differently because of different pursuits.
D. China's aerospace industry has changed the world.
15. What is the best title for the text？ ______
A. Space Missions' Names.
B. How to name Space Missions？
C. Space Missions' Names Embody Chinese Romanticism.
D. Chinese Myths and Legends.

A Surprise for Grandfather From high up in his apartment building，Peter could see the canal stretching in both directions.Every Saturday，Peter watched for grandfather riding toward the building on his bicycle.But today，Peter knew that his grandfather wouldn't come and he would not hear the ring-ring of grandfather's bicycle bell.What's worse，there would be no Saturday afternoon picnic in the park.
Last week，his grandfather had hip surgery （髋部手术）.Now he rested at home needing a walking stick to walk-and Peter didn't know if grandfather would ever ride his bike again.Peter sighed.The sky looked beautiful today，but Peter missed his grandfather.Would he ever again hear the ring-ring as grandfather approached？That's when Peter had an idea.He grabbed his birthday money-10 euros-from the top dresser drawer.Then he hurried to tell mom his plan.
A few minutes later，Peter ran down the stairs of his building and burst into the afternoon sunshine.His bike was waiting for him.Peter fastened his helmet and pedaled down （踩踏板） the rough road.

"Hello，" he called to a girl fishing in the canal.
"Hello，" he called to a baby in a stroller.

Peter's euros jingled in his pocket as he walked through the market，examining each table.He stopped at a fruit stand and chose two shiny apples. "Thank you，" Peter said to the farmer and handed him one euro.He stopped at the cheese table and asked for half a pound of cheese. "Thank you，" Peter said to the cheesemaker，handing him three euros.Finally，he stopped in front of the bread baskets and chose a crusty oblong loaf （大面包）."Thank you，"he said to the baker，handing him two euros.Peter placed the items in his bicycle basket and pedaled back.

Over the past few years，China's aerospace industry has witnessed many landmark events.Apart from celebrating these scientific achievements，the public has also developed a growing interest in the missions' unique names，of which many are derived from China's myths and legends.
China's spacecraft are called Shenzhou.This literally means "heavenly ship" in Chinese，and is also a homonym for the Chinese words "divine land"，which is a term used in literary works to refer to the country.China's moon exploration project and its lunar probe（月球探测器）are both named after a Chinese goddess of the moon，Chang'e.In 2013，the Chang'e-3 lunar probe landed on the moon and was carried around by a lunar rover（月球车）called Yutu.The two names perfectly match the legend of the moon fairy and her pet.In another example，the relay satellite for the Chang'e-4 moon exploration mission is called Queqiao，or "magpie bridge".The magpie bridge，in a Chinese folk tale，was formed by millions of magpies，so that a separated couple could meet each other despite the Milky Way.Likewise，the Queqiao relay satellite serves as a "space-bridge"for communication between the moon and the earth.
Chinese people's eagerness for the universe dated back to ancient times，some even tried to explore.Luban，a great inventor living in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty，made a flying wood bird.Others created many myths and legends，such as "Kuafu Chases the Sun"，to explain phenomena that they could not explain.These traditional stories have become the source of inspiration for Chinese scientists in the naming of major space missions.
The famous spacecraft and rovers built by the United States include the Challenger，the Opportunity and the Spirit，whose names reflect a positive and enterprising spirit.This is quite unlike how the Chinese name their spacecraft，which reflects the Chinese people's sense of romance and awe for space as well as their efforts to pass down traditional culture and their ancestors' spirit of scientific discovery.Nevertheless，all these names，Chinese or foreign，showcase the dreams of humankind and our collective pursuit to discover the secrets of space.
When Apollo 11 prepared to land on the moon，the control center on earth told the astronauts onboard to "watch for a lovely girl with a big rabbit"，which refers to Chang'e and her rabbit Yutu.With the rapid progress of China's aerospace industry，more and more Chinese stories embodying Chinese romanticism will be shown to the world.
12. How is paragraph 2 developed？ ______
A. By making comparisons. B. By describing processes.
C. By giving examples. D. By analyzing causes.
13. Why the relay satellite was named "Queqiao"？ ______
A. Because this name can draw public attention.
B. Because this name comes from a Chinese folk tale.
C. Because this name reflects Chinese romanticism.
D. Because this name indicates the function of the relay satellite.
14. What can we infer from the last three paragraphs？ ______
A. The ancient Chinese explored the space to create myths and legends.
B. Some spaces missions' names are originated from traditional stories.
C. China and the US name their spacecraft differently because of different pursuits.
D. China's aerospace industry has changed the world.
15. What is the best title for the text？ ______
A. Space Missions' Names.
B. How to name Space Missions？
C. Space Missions' Names Embody Chinese Romanticism.
D. Chinese Myths and Legends.
