二、阅读理解
Humans sweat t keep cl. But did yu knw that besides them, nly a small percentage f the wrld’s animals keep cl by sweating? In fact,
animals have a variety f ways t beat the cruel heat, sme f which yu might say are even a little bit strange.
Giraffes
We knw that giraffes live in a particularly dry, ht envirnment, but they dn’t sweat. Hw d they stay cl? The answer lies in their beautiful skin
pattern, which is like a large netwrk with a very cmplex vascular (血管) system under each patch (斑块). A giraffe’s special bld flw can frce heat
ut f its bdy. Because f their rather large skin surface, this is a mre-than-effective way t escape the heat.
Elephants
As the largest land animal n earth, elephants rely n their huge pair f ears. Simply by tapping their ears, elephants can lwer their bdy
temperature by 12℃ r mre. Mrever, elephants ften pen their ears when facing the wind t reach this cling effect.
Dgs
The dg’s way f escaping the heat is prbably the mst cmmn in ur daily lives--sticking their tngues ut. By breathing heavily, dgs quickly
frce the heat frm their bdy and breathe cler air in, which enters their lungs and cls their entire bdy.
Kalas
Kalas are well-knwn fr their “laziness”, s it’s natural t see ne lying n a branch and think it’s just being its lazy self, but that’s nt the
case. Researchers say that the kalas select their trees very carefully, lking in ht weather fr tree bark that is cler than the air temperature. By
getting int the cl surface f the bark, kalas can stay relatively cmfrtable during Australia’s pwerful heat waves.
【小题1】Hw d dgs beat the heat?

A．By chsing the suitable tree skin.
B．By putting their tngues ut.
D．By flwing bld.
C．By mving their ears.
【小题2】Which f the fllwing animals uses their habitats t cl?

D．Kalas.
【小题3】What d fur animals have in cmmn?

Peple perfrm graceful mves, all while standing n a bamb strip in the river. Yu may think it’s a scene frm an art mvie, but actually it is a
frm f intangible cultural heritage: bamb drifting (独竹漂).
Bamb drifting dated back t ver 2,000 years ag in the Chishui River area f Guizhu. During the Qin Dynasty, the Bzhu district f Zunyi city
was knwn fr its high-quality nanmu. It was in great demand by the ryal curt mre than 2,000 kilmeters t the nrth. With n transprtatin alng
the Chishui River, peple had t stand n ne lg (原木) t drift dwn the river. Later, lcal peple began t cmpete alng the way and the game f
wd drifting was brn. In the Qing Dynasty, wd drifting became bamb drifting because f bamb's lwer price.
Nw, cmmunities in Guizhu hld bamb drifting cmpetitins every year during Dragn Bat Festival. Due t the great strength and balance it
takes fr ne t master this act, bamb drifting was included in the natinal intangible cultural heritage list.
Yang Liu, 24, is an inheritr f bamb drifting. Yang said the mst difficult part f bamb drifting was keeping ne’s balance. “I fell in the water
several times when I was practicing.” she tld.
“Usually, the bamb under yur feet is abut 9 meters lng, and the bamb in yur hands is abut 5 meters. If the length r diameter f the
bamb is nt lng enugh, it will nt be buyant (有浮力的）enugh t flat. S we shuld fight against the water flw by cntinuusly changing the
angle (角度).” Yang added.
But the lve fr the ancient skill keeps Yang ging. In the past 17 years, she has drifted all year rund, in winter cld and summer heat.

Yang als prduces new ideas when spreading the culture f bamb drifting. Fr example, she cnnects dance with bamb drifting t make it
mre graceful and wears hanfu when perfrming, creating a beautiful feel. In 2020. Yang registered n scial media platfrms and psted her vides. “I
want t spread it t ther cuntries s that mre peple arund the wrld will like Chinese culture.” she tld China Daily.
【小题1】What’s the main idea f Paragraph 2?
A．The use f bamb drifting.
B．The birthplace f bamb drifting.
C．The acting skills fr bamb drifting
D．The histrical develpment f bamb drifting.
【小题2】Why was bamb drifting listed int the natinal intangible cultural heritage?

B．It enjys great ppularity amng Guizhu peple.
C．It’s physically and technically demanding fr perfrmers.
D．It’s an imprtant activity during the Dragn Bat Festival.
【小题3】What is the mst challenging fr bamb drifting?

B．Perfrming graceful mves.
C．Chsing bambs f prper size.
【小题4】Which f the fllwing best describes Yang Liu?

In Shakespeare’s HAMLET, Plnius asks the prince, “What are yu reading, my Lrd?” Hamlet replies, “Wrds, wrds, wrds.” Either, as is likely,
Hamlet wasn’t interested in what he was reading, r, less likely, he didn’t understand the wrds he was reading. In this case, Plnius shuld have lent
Hamlet a gd dictinary.
Dictinaries are essential tls fr peple wh like t read. There are s many wrds in English that even the mst educated persn will smetimes
meet an unfamiliar wrd and have t lk it up. Languages keep changing, t, with new wrds cnstantly being added and new meanings being
applied t ld wrds. Fr example, the 12th editin f Xinhua Dictinary, the mst ppular dictinary in China, has added new wrds such as “chu xin”
“fen si” “er wei ma” etc. As fr new meanings, “girl” nce meant “a small child f either sex”. And “naughty” didn’t mean yu were
“enjying playing tricks”; it meant yu were pr.
A printed dictinary can’t keep pace with all the changes, which is why mst dictinaries have websites and apps t help yu keep up-t-date.
Hwever, I still prefer printed dictinaries because they give yu mre definitins and mre examples f hw a wrd is used. Even a simple wrd, such as
“set”, has 430 meanings (the mst f English wrds) but an nline dictinary wuld nly ffer tw r three. A printed dictinary als gives yu the
pprtunity t discver new wrds as yu run yur finger dwn the page lking fr the wrd yu want.
There is n “fficial” English dictinary, but the Oxfrd English Dictinary is cnsidered t be the best. Fr English language learners, hwever, I
wuld recmmend the Cllins COBUILD Dictinary fr Advanced Learners. Hamlet, by the way, was Danish and a cllege student. He wuld have
appreciated the Cllins Dictinary t help himself with his wrds, wrds, wrds. This dictinary has ver 40,000 wrds and gives yu full-sentence
definitins with gd examples f hw wrds are used.
【小题1】What’s the functin f paragraph 1?
A．T intrduce the tpic.
B．T let the readers knw mre abut HAMLET.
C．T aruse readers’ interest in Shakespeare.
D．T explain when it’s necessary t use a dictinary.
【小题2】Why des the authr mentin “girl” in paragraph 2?
A．T shw hw pwerful Xinhua Dictinary is.
B．T supprt the idea: languages keep changing.
C．T prve new wrds are being added t dictinaries.
D．T imply “girl” als means “by” in sme cases.
【小题3】What’s the authr’s attitude t printed dictinaries?
A．Favrable.
B．Ambiguus.
C．Negative.
D．Critical.
【小题4】What’s the authr’s purpse f writing the last paragraph?

A．T intrduce the histry f dictinaries.
B．T call n learners t use dictinaries.
C．T recmmend Cllins Dictinary.
D．T explain why Hamlet likes Cllins.

Mars als has an atmsphere, but it is very thin and made up mstly f carbn dixide. Because f its thin atmsphere and greater distance frm the
