And then lightning hit the plane at 3000 meters, and it crashed. Julia fell quickly through the air in her seat and hit the trees hard. For three hours, she was senseless. When she woke up, her right arm was cut, her shoulder hurt badly and she couldn't see out of one eye. She was alone. But she was alive!Julia’s father was a biologist and when she was small, he told her how to survive in the jungle. She found a small river and walked slowly along it. “If I follow the river,” she thought, “I will find people.” The river also gave her clean water to drink. It was very hot, but the river water kept her cool. Sometimes she had to swim in the river because it was too deep to walk in. There was fruit on some trees, but she didn't eat it －she knew it was too dangerous. Julia walked for ten days. Ten days after the crash, she found a small house by the river. There were some people in the house. They cleaned her cuts carefully and the next day they carried her down the river and a plane took her safely back to the city of Pucallpa.Julia was the only person who survived the plane crash. The other 91 people, including her mother, all died.The film director, Werner Herzog, had a ticket to travel on the plane but missed it. Thirty years later, he made a film called Wings of Hope about Julia and her incredible story.24. What did Julia find when she woke up?A. She was still in Lima.B. She was in the river.C.

We are stepping up to another stage of our lives at a time of great hardship and global difficulties.First, please allow me to briefly share with you my journey which has made me what I am today. I was born in Serbia during the war time, which resulted in a single parent bringing me up. My mother was the only figure who guided me, provided for me and kept me on the right track. I will always remember her teachings, “to complain less and always find solut ions at the price of whatever it takes”.During the COVID-19 outbreak, I saw millions of Chinese people united with one goal – to win the battle against this epidemic. China’s governance and health care system proves to be one of the most efficient in the world. With a population of 1.4 billion, China not only has successfully controlled the spread of the coronavirus but also assisted many other countries across the globe.Everyone has a role to play in the battle against the virus. In Tsinghua, I cooperate during temperature checks and respect social distancing measures. The rules set by the university and Chinese government had everyone’s health and safety as first priority. This made me feel safe and confident that China was on the right track towards victory.Friends, we are now graduating from Tsinghua, who has been like a mother to us over the past years, guiding and nurturing us along the way, for which w e’ll thank you forever!Finally,friends, l et’s accept new challenges and make our world safer and better!Thank you!28.

The passage is most probably taken from ____________.A.A history bookB. A newspaperC. A fashion magazineD. A graduation speech.DCosmic rays(宇宙射线) may have just discovered a hidden chamber(密室) within Egypt’s most famous pyramid(金字塔). An international team led by Kunihiro Morishima used muons(介子), the high-energy particles produced by cosmic rays,to explore inside Egypt’s Great Pyramid without moving a stone.By looking at the number of muons that passed through the rock and arrived at different locations within the pyramid, Morishima and his team detected a new large void(空腔) above the Grand Gallery that connects the King and Queen’s chamber. This new void which is at least 30 metres long is almost the same size of the Grand Gallery.The team used three different muon detectors, starting with nuclear emulsion film(核乳胶片). Like camera film(胶卷) is exposed to light to make a photo, the emulsion reacts to muons. Once their emulsion film showed a potential chamber, they confirmed it by placing a tool that gives out a flash of light. Outside the pyramid, they also used detectors that record muons indirectly. After several months of recording muons, all three methods confirmed a void in the same location.“It’s very likely that a new chamber will be discovered,” Morris says, noting that the long recording time increases the reliability of the result, although it will take drilling(打洞) and cameras to determine if the void is a structural chamber, or one created by a long-forgotten collapse(垮塌). But if confirmed, this would be the first newly discovered chamber within the Great Pyramid in more than a century. “I’d love to be there when they first stick a camera througha drill hole,” Morris admitted. “It’s not every day we discover a chamber in a pyramid.32. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A.Muons actually aren’t suitable for sensitive historical sites since they could do much damage to the structure.B.Morishma detected the new void by counting the number of muons that reached different places inside the pyramid.C.Morishma and his team found that the new large void is as big as the Grand Gallery.D.The new chamber discovered by Mosishma is the first chamber discovered within the Great Pyramid of all time.33. Which of the following isn’t used to confirm the void?A.nuclear emulsion filmB.a tool that can give out lightC. camera filmD.detectors that record muons indirectly34. What does Morris think of Morishma’s discovery??A. It’s completely unnecessary for Morishma’s team to spend such a long time recording the number of muons.B. It’s possible that Morishma’s team will discover a chamber in a pyramid based on the months of muons recording.C. Morishma shouldn’t use drilling and cameras to confirm his discovery for the pyramid might collapse.D.He wants to help Morishma to stick a camera through a drill hole because he is quite enthusiastic about pyramids.35. What’s the best title for the passage?A.Cosmic rays may have revealed a chamber in Egypt’s Great PyramidB.Morishma, a pioneer in discovering Egypt’s pyramidsC.Egypt, home to mysterious pyramidsD.Scientists have found a new way to pass through rocks using muons第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
