18、nceBWhen an editor called to ask if I could photograph a story about fireflies in Mexico, I didnt check my schedule before I said yes.

19、try several times by bus. Now I work as a photojournalist in Mexico and along the border, documenting disappointing situations that face everyday Mexicans. Though necessary and important, news stories dont reflect the Mexico that I fell for（喜爱）and that is home to so many people I love. A task focuse
20、d on the countrys natural beauty was a welcome reprieve for me.I had three nights to film the magical scene in the forest. According to our guides, visitors are usually not allowed to photograph the fireflies because the presence of artificial light from electronics can affect their habits. As I sta
21、rted shooting, I adjusted my exposures constantly to account for the fading light. In order to get the composition that I wanted, I placed my tripod（三脚架） on a steep, rocky path and had to steady it during the long exposures. Normally this wouldnt be a big deal, but the fireflies were very interested
22、 in the camera and, by extension, in me. I stood completely still while they were all over memy arms, my hair, my face. From what I observed, peak（高峰时期的） firefly presence lasts for only about 20 minutes each night, so I had time for just a few tries.On the last night everything came together. The we

I had improved my method for focusing and composing photos in the dark with quick flashes from a powerful flashlightand Id grown accustomed to insects on my face.I was rewarded with the image you see here.

27、 mission to Mars is the fuel problem. If future Mars explorers ever want to return to Earth, theyll need not only enough fuel to get to Mars, but also enough fuel to get back home. Its a difficult problem that can best be solved if there is some way of producing fuel on Mars itself.Now, in a brillia
28、nt new plan outlined by a NASA(National Aeronautics and Space Administration) team leader Kurt Leucht, the dream of making fuel right on Mars itself appears to be a real possibility. And what is the only raw material needed to make rocket fuel? Martian（火星的）soil.The NASA teams method involves taking
29、out water from Mars distinctive red dirt, and using a process to separate it into hydrogen and oxygen. The hydrogen can then be combined with carbon dioxide, which is plentiful in Mars atmosphere, to make methane（甲烷）, which can be used as rocket fuel.Of course, all of this requires time and on-site
30、factory thats up to the task. For that, NASA is developing a team of robots that can be set up on Mars years in advance of a return trip to Earth, which will tirelessly work to make rocket fuel.The whole plan does have one small problem: the water content of Martian soil. If we start digging and the
31、res no water, or far less than expected, that could be a trouble. But scientists are becoming more and more confident about the amount of water stored in it, which can even supply the survival needs of astronauts who plan to stay a while on the Red Planet.“This technology will one day allow humans t
32、o live and work on Mars,” wrote Leucht, “and return to Earth to tell the story.”28. According to the passage, what is NASAs new plan about? A. Making rocket fuel on Mars.B. Finding water in Martian soil.C. Sending a team of robots to Mars.D. Settling up a factory on Mars.29. What is Paragraph 3 main
33、ly about?A. Analyzing the possibility of getting hydrogen.B. Explaining the method of making fuel on Mars.C. Showing how to combine hydrogen with carbon.D. Introducing how to take out water from Martian soil.30. What is the possible problem with the new plan?A. It requires a lot of robots to make th
34、e plan come true.B. The method of making fuel only works well in theory.C. The amount of carbon dioxide in Marss atmosphere is limited.D. It is uncertain whether there is enough water in Martian soil.31. What is Leuchts attitude toward the plan?A. Cautious.B. Doubtful.C. Optimistic.D.Objective .DMor
35、e than a billion people around the world have smartphones, almost all of which come with some kind of navigation（导航）app such as Apple Maps or Amap. This raises the age-old question we meet with any technology: What abilities is our brain losing to these apps? But also, importantly: What abilities ar
36、e we gaining?Talking with people who are good at finding their way around or good at using paper maps, I often hear a lot of annoyance（恼怒）with digital maps. North/south direction gets messed up, and you can see only a small section at a time. I can really understand that it may be quite disturbing f
37、or the already skilled to be limited to a small phone screen.But consider what digital navigation aids have meant for someone like me. Although being a frequent traveler, Im so terrible at finding my way that I still use Apple Maps almost every day in the small town where I have lived for many years
38、.In many developed nations, street names and house numbers can be meaningful, and instructions such as “go north for three blocks andthen west” make sense to those familiar with these rules. In Istanbul, however, where I grew up, none of those hold true. For one thing, the locals seldom use street n
39、ames. Besides, the city is full of winding and ancient alleys that cross with newer avenues at many angles. In such places, youd better turn to the locals. In the American countryside, however, there is often nobody outside to ask. In fact, along came Apple Maps, like a fairy grandmother whispering
40、directions in my ear. Since then, I travel with a lot more confidence, and my world has opened up.Which brings me back to my original questions: While we often lose some skills after depending on new technology, this new equipment may also allow us to gain new abilities. Maybe when technology closes
41、 a door, we should also look for the doors it opens.32. Why do people who are skilled at reading paper maps feel upset?A. They are confused by digital maps direction. B. They like reading paper maps.C. They dont know how to use navigation apps. D. They are limited to a single smartphone app.33. Acco
42、rding to the text, which is the best way to find the destination in Istanbul?A. Follow the navigation app. B. Asking local people the way. C. Getting familiar with the city rules. D. Looking for street names and house numbers.34. Whats the authors attitude towards the navigation apps? A. Cautious.B.
43、 Confused. C. Critical.D. Favorable.35. What could be the best title of the passage?A. Benefits of Navigation Apps. B. Disadvantages of Navigation Apps. C. Have Navigation Apps Worsened Our Brain? D. My World Opens Up by New Technology.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）根据短文内容，从短文后选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项
44、。Get ready for a fun weekend outdoors by preparing for your camping trip strategically. Create a checkist to make sure you dont forget anything super important, such as your camping tool and a first-aid kit. 36 If you want to completely absorb yourself in nature and be entirely relaxed, there are ca
