The lake is in Northern California and is a three-and-a-half-hour drive from Los Angeles. With 370 miles of shoreline, it’s no surprise that renting a houseboat is a popular activity. Depending on their location, visitors can enjoy the view of Mt. Shasta, which has snow on its peak year-round.Big Bear LakeBig Bear Lake is another great option for those wanting to take a day trip from Los Angeles. It takes only two hours to drive there from downtown Los Angeles. Animal lovers can stop by the Big Bear Alpine Zoo to get an up-close look at the lake' s namesake(同名的物). The lake also has many hiking and biking trails along with plenty of fishing spots.Lake HavasuLake Havasu is divided along the border of California and Arizona and is an oasis(绿洲)in the desert. It’s a five-hour drive from Los Angeles and a two-and-a-half-hour drive from Las Vegas. Visitors can fish or go boating on the lake that was formed from the Colorado River.Mono LakeMono Lake is located in the Sierra Nevada mountains and spans more than 70 miles. It’s a fivehour drive from either Los Angeles or San Francisco. Visitors into fishing should head to a different lake because this body of water does not have any fish. It’s a salty lake, which means that it’s filled with saltwater and is two to three times saltier than the ocean.1. What can we know about Shasta Lake?A. It’s the biggest in America.        B. It’s located in Southern California.C. Visitors can watch snow there.     D. Visitors can see bears there.2. Which is the closest to Los Angeles?A. Shasta Lake.     B. Big Bear Lake.     C.

The magazine announced the award Thursday, indicating Rao’s ability to apply scientific ideas to real-world problems and her desire to motivate other kids to take up their own causes.It’s just the latest recognition for Rao, 15, who was named last year to the Forbes 30 Under 30 list. She won praise in 2017 after she responded to the Flint, Mich. water crisis by creating a device named Tehys, using carbon nanotuhe(碳纳米管)sensors to detect lead in water. She was named America’s Top Young Scientist when she was in the seventh grade. She went on to collaborate with scientists in the water industry to try to get the device on the market.More recently, Rao has developed a phone and Web tool named Kindly, which uses artificial intelligence technology to detect possible early signs of cyberbullying(网络欺凌).Rao was chosen in part because of the way she has followed up her technical work with efforts to get other young people to work on solving the problems they see. "Idon’t look like your typical scientist. Everything I see on TV is that it’s an older, usually white man as a scientist," she told Time. "My goal has really shifted not only from creating my own devices to solve the world’s problems, but inspiring others to do the same as well. Because, from personal experience, it’s not easy when you don’t see anyone else like you. So I really want to put out that message: If I can do it, you can do it, and anyone can do it."4. What made Rao win Time’s Kid of the Year?A. Her invention and inspiration to others.       B. Her ability to ensure kids’ drinking water.C. Her motivation to solve practical problems.    D.

Cooperate.     D. Bargain.7. What can we know about Rao?A. She wants to be a typical scientist.     B. She once suffered cyberbullying.C. She lived a hard life when young.      D. She encourages more to do like her.CAnimals that have never been domesticated (驯养的), such as kangaroos, can intentionally communicate with humans, challenging the belief that this behaviour is usually restricted to domesticated animals like dogs, horses or goats, a study from the University of Roehampton and the University of Sydney has found. The research which involved kangaroos, marsupials(有袋类动物)that were never domesticated, at three locations across Australia, revealed that kangaroos stared at a human when trying to access food which had been put in a closed box. The kangaroos used eye-contact to communicate with the human instead of attempting to open the box themselves, a behaviour that is usually expected for domesticated animals.Ten out of 11 kangaroos tested actively looked at the person who had put the food in a box to get it. Nine of the 11 kangaroos additionally showed eye-contact between the box and the person present, a strong form of communication where they looked between the box and human.The research builds on previous work in the field which has looked at the communication of domesticated animals, such as dogs and goats, and whether intentional communication in animals is a result of domestication. Lead author Dr. Alan McElligott previously led a study which found goats can understand human signals, including pointing, to gather information about their environment. Like dogs and goats, kangaroos are social animals and Dr. McElligott’s new research suggests they may be able to adapt their usual social behaviours for interacting with humans.Dr. Alan McElligott said: "Through this study, we were able to see that communication between animals can be learned and that the behaviour of staring at humans to access food is not related to domestication. Indeed, kangaroos showed a very similar pattern of behaviour we have seen in dogs, horses and even goats when put to the same test. We hope that this research draws attention to the cognitive(认知的)abilities of kangaroos and helps promote more positive attitudes towards them."8. What can we learn from the first paragraph?A. Marsupials should be limited to three locations in Australia.B. Marsupials like kangaroos should never be domesticated.C. Domesticated animals usually can communicate with humans.D. Domesticated animals directly open the box to get the food.9. Why do the tested kangaroos look the person present in the eyes?A. To try to open the box.     B. To get the food in the box.C. To collect information.     D. To receive human signals.10. What may McElligott think of the study?A. It’s highly significant.   B. It’s really doubtful.   C. It’s not practical.   D. It’s quite perfect.11. What’s the best title of the text?A. Kangaroos have never been domesticated so farB. Kangaroos are well worth paying attention toC. Kangaroos can express themselves better than petsD. Kangaroos can actively communicate with humansDRange anxiety, the fear of running out of power before being able to recharge an electric vehicle, may be a thing of the past, according to a team of Penn State engineers who are looking at lithium iron phosphate batteries(磷酸铁锉电池)that have a range of 250 miles with the ability to charge in 10 minutes."We developed a pretty clever battery for mass-market electric vehicles," said Chao-Yang Wang, a professor and director of the Electrochemical Engine Center at Penn State. "There is no more range anxiety and this battery is affordable." The researchers also say that the battery should be good for 2 million miles in its lifetime.They report today in Nature Energy that the key to long-life and rapid recharging is the battery’s ability to quickly heat up to 140 degrees Fahrenheit, for charge and discharge, and then cool down when the battery is not working.The battery uses a self-heating approach previously developed in Wang’s center. The self-heating battery uses a thin nickel foil(镍箔)with one end attached to the negative terminal and the other extending outside the cell to create a third terminal. Once electrons flow, it rapidly heats up the nickel foil through resistance heating and warms the inside of the battery. Once the battery’s inner temperature is 140 degrees Fahrenheit, the switch opens and the battery is ready for rapid charge or discharge."This battery has reduced weight, volume and cost," said Wang. "I am very happy that we finally found a battery that will benefit the mainstream consumer mass market."According to Wang, these smaller batteries can produce a large amount of power upon heating-40 kilowatt hours and 300 kilowatts of power. An electric vehicle with this battery could go from zero to 60 miles per hour in 3 seconds and would drive like a Porsche, he said. "This is how we are going to change the environment and not contribute to just the expensive cars," said Wang. "Let everyone afford electric vehicles."12. Which of the following shows the range anxiety?A. Fearing that the battery can’t he recharged.B. Wondering if the battery can cover 250 miles.C. Worrying about the power of the car running out.D. Considering having no money to buy a new battery.13. Why can the battery he used for long and charged so fast?A. It can he environmentally friendly.       B. It can heat up and cool down rapidly.C. It can help speed up the car instantly.     D. It can discharge when it doesn’t work.14. What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about?A. How the battery works.         B. Advantages of the battery.C. How the battery is produced.     D. Applications of the battery.15. Which of the following can best describe the batteries?A. Cheap but heavy.            B. Costly but beneficial.C. Expensive but small-sized.     D. Affordable and efficient.第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。The District of Columbia is a destination filled with sites of historic and current importance.

He was to appear as a violin performer with the New York Symphony Orchestra. On his way from the stage entrance to the artists’ room, he saw a large fire ax(斧子)on a wall.“What’s that for?" he asked a guard."To cut the heads off the performers who don’t play well," was the reply."And how many heads have you already cut off?""Oh, quite a few," said the guard, with a friendly smile.Some in the audience that night, especially the music critics, expected the boy’s head to roll. He was to play a difficult violin piece by Beethoven. Critics felt that this great piece should be attempted only by a mature artist. For a child, the complicated fingering would be impossible, they added.It was November 25, 1927.That night Carnegie Hall was packed. All eyes in the audience watched for Yehudi Menuhin, the eleven-year-old violin performer, to appear on the stage. News of his talent had already excited the public imagination. There was an outburst of applause when he came out in his white silk shirt and black pants.In a businesslike manner, Yehudi took his place near the conductor and handed his violin to the first violinist to be tuned. There was a breathless silence in the hall. When the kettledrum(定音鼓) announced the opening of the music, Yehudi stood calmly, so absorbed in the music that some people feared he would not come in on time. But, with only seconds to spare, he adjusted his violin and raised his bow. At the great singing tone that filled the hall, there was a slight excitement, and then a silence.注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。Listeners were impressed by his pure tone, expert fingering and wonderful skill.   Even the newspaper critics stayed on to applaud Yehudi.
