It is 4,190 feet (1.23 km) above sea level.When to visitThe park is open 24 hours a day all year round. There are no plants or trees on the lava (火山岩) fields and no protection from the sun, so you must bring sunscreen (防晒霜).How to get thereThe best way to get to the park is to take Highway 11. From the airport at Hilo, Highway 11 will take you southward across the eastern part of the island.Things to seeIf you want to know more about the park, the Kilauea Visitor Center is surely a stop to make. It is a quarter of a mile (402 m) from the park entrance. There, you can see a great movie about real lava and learn about the islands natural and cultural history. The center is open from 7:45 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. There are also many guided walks and hikes around the park. You must check weather conditions and volcanic activity before hiking alone. If possible, you may drive down Chain of Craters Road to see lava flowing into the ocean.TicketsEntrance to the park is $10.00 for each vehicle, $5.00 for those who travel on foot or ride a bicycle.

But Vineet Kosaraju and Nikhil Cheerla are choosing to go back to school, and this time they are the teachers. “I think its really nice that I can help the munity by spending just a little bit of time every week helping just a few students here and there try and learn programming,” Kosaraju said. Friends since they were young boys, Kosaraju and Cheerla always shared a love of puter science.They learned the skills from their parents and school, but recognized that not all children have that chance. “Programming isnt taught in that many schools, especially low ine (收入) schools, because there isnt that much money to support it,” Kosaraju said.So he and Cheerla developed “Math and Coding,” an after-school program for kids of all ages to learn the basics of puter programming.Between applying for college and doing their own homework, the two boys now spend a few hours every week going to different libraries teaching classes that cover everything from building basic games to developing apps.The friends started the program a little over a year ago and already, its spread to more than a dozen libraries across the Bay Area in California.They are even training volunteers to teach these very same classes in other US states and Canada.Maryann Mitchell brought her 8-year-old granddaughter, Gabriella, to a class on coding at the Alum Rock Library in San Jose, California. “Its a chance for her to learn,” Mitchell said.“Its the way of the future, and its a good way for her to get grounded and be ready for what the future holds.”“I think the most rewarding thing is having people e up and thank you and say they really learned a lot from this class,” Cheerla said.“It doesnt get any better than that.”4. Why do the two boys return to the classroom during summer holidays?A. To improve their puter skills. B. To get some teaching experience. C. To raise money for local schools. D.

Two teens free coding course for children. D. The close friendship between two students. CNavarathri, which is celebrated throughout India, falls in September or October. On the first three days, people pray (祈祷) to the goddess Durga, the protector who destroys all evil. The next three days they pray to Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth. Then, also for three days, they look to Saraswathi, the goddess of wisdom and knowledge. The tenth and final day of the festival is for the goddess Durga. On this day many years ago, Durga killed the evil buffalo-headed monster, Mahishasura.My daughter and I took out the models of the gods and goddesses that we had stored away last year. Soon the room was littered with all kinds of dolls. We usually buy at least one new doll every year. On the tenth day, the dolls are carefully put away. If a doll is too damaged to be shown, it is never thrown away. Instead, it is put deep into the seas.In our hallway six long wooden steps are set up. First, we spread a thick white cloth over the steps. Now its time to put the dolls on the steps carefully. Every year, the gollu is different. Sometimes as the collection grows there is no space to fit all of the dolls on the steps. Smaller dolls can also be placed on the floor.Every night there are prayers, music, dancing, and a large meal for many people. In northern India, the children sing songs while doing the dandiya raas, a traditional dance. Every dancer also has two wooden sticks called dandiya that he or she uses to make a sound in time to the lovely music. Dancing the dandiya raas helps people think of the true meaning of Navarathri togetherness, laughter, and fun!8.

What is mainly described in the text?A. Some traditional dances B. Three goddesses in IndiaC. The history of Navarathri D. A popular festival in IndiaDYou might think people all over the United States have Wi-Fi-wireless Internet service-and mobile phones. But there is no such service in Green Bank, West Virginia, a tiny town four hours from the U.S. capital, Washington DC Fewer than 150 people live in Green Bank, which has two churches, an elementary school and a public library. It is also home to the largest radio telescope in the world.There is a ban on Wi-Fi in Green Bank, along with anything else that can create electromagnetic(电磁的)waves. Officials say the waves could disturb the signals the telescope receives.For many Americans, a visit to Green Bank is a little like returning to the 1950s. To get there, you must read road signs-because there is no GPS service in the town. People can connect with the Internet through telephones, but wireless service is not allowed.The observatory(天文台)is one of the largest employers in the area. The federal National Science Foundation(NSF) spends about 8.2 million a year to operate the observatory, telescope and educational center.Jonah Bauserman is a technician. If he supposes there is signal that is not allowed in the zone, he drives to the house where the signal is ing from and checks it. But once a week, when the device is cleaned, some banned devices are allowed near it.People in the town respect the work of the scientists. And they say they are happy to live without Wi-Fi and mobile phones. “You know, instead of sitting here on our phones and other devices were out fishing and hunting and going to each others houses.” Everyone knows each other and munication is almost always face-to-face.12What will you see when you pay a visit to Green Bank?A. GPS service B. road signs C. cell phone towers D. radio-controlled toys13What is Jonah Bausermans duty in his work?AFollowing signals from cell phones. BCleaning the telescope once a week.CListening for signals from outer space.

After ten years in the workshop of the artist Verrocchio, he began to work for himself. The work he did shows an unbelievable bination of technical skill and very careful observation. 18 At the age of thirty, he left his hometown and moved to Milan, where he spent seventeen years working for the Duke of Milan. 19 In fact, his painting was increasingly influenced by his interest in mathematics. During this period, he painted The Last Supper and developed his ideas for chemical weapons (化学武器).In 1506 he returned to Milan and became increasingly interested in science. 20 He also studied many other animals, paring their bodies to the human body. From then on, Leonardo spent the rest of his life mainly on his scientific studies.A. Before long, he returned to his painting.B. Of course, his place in art history is certain.C. It also shows his great interest in technology.D. The notebooks are full of drawings for all kinds of inventions.E. He began to study human bodies and the movement of the blood.F. Here he continued to bine his scientific work with his painting.G. It was a good chance to make some money with his new inventions.第二部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，共30分）阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。Be a Traveler, not a TouristLast summer, I had just enough money saved to buy a golden ticketa 3-month train pass that would take me to the furthest reaches of Europe.
