Depths of our Earth hold great wonders.Below we explore four deepest places on Earth.
Veryovkina Cave,Georgia
Its entrance is located 2,285 meters above sea level.In 2018,scientists reached its bottom at 2,212 meters down.They squeezed through tiny openings to get from one cave to another.Rockfalls and floods waited secretly at every turn.Scientists could develop new medicines from microorganisms found in cave samples.Caves also record ancient life and past climates.
The Mariana Trench,the Pacific Ocean
The Mariana Trench,with the maximum depth of 11,034 meters,is the deepest part of Earth's surface.Pressure there is intolerable,but creatures like sea cucumbers(海参)still exist.Scientists exploring it can gain deeper insights into how plates move and why earthquakes and volcanoes occur.
The Dead Sea,the Middle East
The Dead Sea is the lowest point on land at about 1,400 feet(about 400 meters)below sea level.It's nearly ten times saltier than ocean water,so you literally can't sink in the Dead Sea!Scientists think it could go dry in a few decades.Despite its name,the Dead Sea holds life.A few kinds of algae(藻类)and bacteria love its salty water.
Lake Baikal,Russia
At the depth of 1,642 meters,Lake Baikal is the deepest inland body of water.The Baikal seal is the only known seal that lives in this world's deepest freshwater lake.Scientists study the lake not only for the solid stuff beneath it that records climate history but because it's in a zone where a plate is splitting apart,causing earthquakes.
1. What do we know about Veryovkina Cave? ______

Recently we celebrated my grandmother's 90th birthday.Family members traveled to my hometown to visit her.This was the first time in many years that I had seen so many of them.Though this was an opportunity to see family,many people did not make it.Honestly,living far from hometown,I had missed many family gatherings.But this one made me realize how much I was really missing.
It seemed strange when I was looking at the faces,realizing whom they were and greeting them with open arms.After chatting for a while,we caught up on each other's news.Several relatives suggested having a family reunion soon if everyone wasn't so busy.But my grandmother's generation was much busier,yet still found time to gather.They understood the importance of visiting one another.They knew time is flying and that those you care about most won't be here forever.
Today,we focus on our careers and raising our kids.Our extended family isn't the center it once was.Besides,we keep in touch on social media.But what we really miss are the potato salad,the moments of laughter and sudden bursts of excitement when we hug someone we haven't seen for over 10 years.Although the next get-together is always a year or so away,people aren't goods and everyone has an expiration (到期) date.
I left my grandmother's party with a much better sense of who I am and where I come from.I spent valuable time with people who contributed to who I am today.I had forgotten how much I love them and I was reminded how much I am loved.

If you're homeless and looking for a temporary shelter in Hawaii's capital,expect a visit from a robotic police dog that will scan your eyes to make sure you don't have a fever.That's just one of the ways public safety agencies are starting to use Spot,a new robot that runs around with quick movement.
The police officials experimenting with the four-legged machines say they're just another tool to keep emergency responders out of harm's way as they search for dangers.
Joseph O'Neal,an officer of the Honolulu Police Department,said the robot has protected officers,shelter staff and residents by scanning body temperatures between mealtimes at a shelter where homeless people could quarantine (隔离) and get tested for COVID-19.The robot is also used to remotely interview individuals who have tested positive.
The company that makes the robots,Boston Dynamics,says it's trying to do a good job of explaining to the public and its customers what Spot can and cannot do. "One of the most difficult tasks is accurately explaining the state of the technology to people who have never had personal experience with it," said Michael Perry,vice president of the company.
There are roughly 500 Spot robots now in the wild.Perry said they're commonly used by companies to check dangerous areas.Spot is also used to monitor construction sites,mines and factories,equipped with whatever sensor is needed for the job.
It's still mostly controlled by humans,though all they have to do is tell it which direction to go and it can climb stairs or cross over rough areas.It can also operate autonomously,but only if it's already memorized a road and there aren't too many surprise obstacles (障碍). "The first value that most people see in the robot is taking a person out of a dangerous situation," Perry said.
8. What do police officials use Spot robots do? ______
A. Treat patients' fever. B. Find out patients' eye problems.
C. Protect homeless people. D. Take people's body temperature.
9. What's the main idea of paragraph 3? ______
A. The shelter where people get tested.
B. The function of the robotic police dog.
C. The future development of the robots.
D. The characteristic of the four-legged machine.
10. What's the company's big challenge? ______
A. How to describe the technology. B. How to win its customers' trust.
C. How to promote Spot robots. D. How to produce more Spot robots.
11. What can we infer about Spot robots from the last paragraph? ______
A. They can plan their own road easily.
B. They can choose direction themselves.
C. They can overcome many obstacles.
D. They can remember a familiar road.
D
Commercial airlines alone contribute around 3 percent of total global carbon emissions.But the industry is actively looking for green solutions in the form of sustainable (可持续发展的) airline fuel,and in one case,that fuel may have had a previous life as your household food waste.In a study released this week in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences,researchers detail a method of transforming food waste into sustainable airline fuel.
Biomass (生物质),such as animal and food waste,can be transformed into biofuels,which are renewable liquid fuels made from organic matter.Derek Vardon,a senior research engineer at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL),says that their fuel worked as a mixture of 90 percent conventional petrol airline fuel and 10 percent alternative airline fuel required by the industry currently.They also show they could push it to a 70/30 mixture with more time and testing available.
Major companies are eager to participate in sustainable airline fuel because some sustainable solutions,such as battery-operated commercial planes,just aren't possible yet with current battery technology.A battery-powered plane would be too heavy to fly long distances,so fuel that works in the same way as the fuel we have is a simpler way to trade out emission-heavy fossil fuels.
Vardon says that because the wet waste used in the process would normally go to a landfill (垃圾填埋场) and break down to release greenhouse gases,the process of making and using sustainable airline fuel could actually have a negative carbon footprint when scaled up.
Commercial airlines are also to find an affordable and sustainable solution to the carbon-intensive process of air travel.Airlines are looking to hit aggressive sustainability goals by 2050,including decreasing net carbon dioxide emissions by 50 percent.
12. Which of the following is used for sustainable airline power? ______
A. Biomass. B. Liquid fuel. C. Battery power. D. Fossil fuel.
13. Why are commercial planes still fuel-powered? ______
A. Biofuel proves less costly and easier to produce.
B. It's convenient to create the proper fuel mixture.
C. Biofuel is environmentally friendly and sustainable.
D. Fuel-powered planes are likely to travel lighter and farther.
14. What does the underlined phrase "on board" in the last paragraph refer to? ______
A. Taking off. B. Participating in.
C. Holding a meeting. D. Appearing on stage.
15. Which can be a suitable title for the text? ______
A. Alternative Energy to Fossil Fuel
B. How to Get Fossil Fuel Sustainable
C. Changing Food Waste into Airplane Fuel
D. How to Decrease Carbon Dioxide Emissions

38. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
The teacher was new. She was a substitute(代替者). She wrote that word on the blackboard when she arrived.Today,she said we were making mugs(马克杯) for Mother's Day. They were white and would say WORLD'S BEST MOM on the side. Some kids couldn't read it, but I could. Dad had been teaching me. I could read The Magic School Bus by myself now.
When the new teacher tried to give me a mug,I told her I didn't want one. Her eyes widened. "I'm sorry,what was your name?"
"Milo," I told her,"and I don't need a cup."
"Why not, Milo?" she asked in confusion.
I was ready to say,"Because my mom doesn't live with us anymore and she left two years ago. Dad said he doesn't know where she is, so I won't be able to give her a mug." Speaking this,I thought of a day,a long time ago,when I was four. Mom came home from work and gave Dad a chocolate bar and me a doll. And Dad was confused because he and Mom had been mad at each other the day before. But he wasn't mad any more because she gave him chocolate,I guess. He was happy and surprised and he picked Mom up and tried to spin(使旋转)her around but he almost dropped her and I fell off the couch because I was laughing so hard. What sweet memories! However,she left us. From then on,Dad and I lived with each other and he waited on me hand and foot.
Suddenly, a gentle touch on my hair called my mind back. "You can give it to your father as a gift," the teacher said,looking at me gently. I stood in silence. And next to me,Amelia was already gluing pink flowers all over her mug, and I wanted to do that too,and it didn't seem fair that she got a mug and a mom and I didn't get either.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.开头已给出。
Paragraph 1:
I squinted my eyes back at the teacher and took a mug out of her hands and said,"OK."__________
Paragraph 2:
So when Dad picked me up after school, I hid the mug at the bottom of my backpack.____________

【解析】(1)考查最高级。句意:位于广汉市的三星堆遗址是中国乃至世界上最重要的古代遗迹之一。one of+the+形容词最高级+可数名词的复数,表示"最……的其中一个",故填most important。
(2)考查形容词性物主代词。句意:三星堆遗址以其丰富的文化内涵、巨大的规模以及自创建以来的屹立时间而闻名。此处用形容词性物主代词作定语修饰名词rich cultural content,large size,and the length of time,故填its。
(3)考查动词时态、语态及主谓一致,句意:三星堆遗址以其丰富的文化内涵、巨大的规模以及自创建以来的屹立时间而闻名。结合句意可知,此处在讲述过去发生的事情,故用一般过去时,主语为it,谓语动词用三单形式,且与create之间是被动关系,故填was created。

解题方法点拨(1)品读原文.确定文章线索
每篇文章都有各自独特的写作思路,通过精读文章,找到该篇文章的写作线索。如是以时间为线索还是以空间为线索等这样有利于考生"顺藤摸瓜(结尾)"。
(2)仔细审题,明确续写要求
一般短文后面的"注意"都有对此类短文续写的具体要求,如词数限制使用几处标有下划线的关键词语。续写段落的首句提示,这样考生可以做到"心中有数"。
(3)回扣原文,揣摩续写思路
根据文章后面的要求,再次快速回读短文,抓住文章的思路结合段首的提示语最终确定续写段落的思路。同时结合文章画线词语提示,确定续写段落的内容。
(4)拟写草稿,修改错词病句
在确定了思路和内容之后。最关键的就是结合提示语或者文中画线的关键词拟写草稿。拟写时,注意句子结构的多样性,语言的丰富性,并通过句与句之间连接词的正确使用,使上下文连贯。
