第二部分 阅读理解（满分40分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

21．“I’ve never used that road,” I said doubtfully. After a weekend of camping, it’s time for us to （6分）go home. The question was, which way?

The campsite in the mountainous Nyanga District of Zimbabwe was an hour and a half’s drive from our house in Mutare. There’s one road between Mutare and Nyanga that everyone uses. We’d driven on it many times. But just before we left for our holiday, a friend had emailed to say she’d heard of another route. So now here we were, with two roads from which to choose.

“Let’s try it,” I said to my husband. “Surely it can’t be too bad.”

Unlike me, an English girl who would never forget her four years in Paris, my husband grew up in this

part of the world. He knew the fear of breaking down miles from anywhere with no cellphone signal. But to my surprise, he turned right at the Bonda Mission sign. Almost immediately, the magic began.

“Look, Mum,” Sam, who was 10, cried. “It’s that famous school!”

Sure enough, just past Bonda Mission there was a road sign to Knows tics Academy, a small rural school that nobody had heard of until last year when two of its pupils got the best results in the world for their history final exams, set by the University of Cambridge. We’d read about it in Zimbabwe’s main state-run newspaper but had no idea we’d see it today!

Sometimes I think of what my life might have been like if I’d stayed in Paris, if I’d kept to the main road, the one almost certain to have taken me where I thought I wanted to go. And then I remember what coming across the unknown in Zimbabwe has given me: wonderful experiences I could never have dreamed of.

1、What puzzled the author’s family at the moment of leaving the campsite? A．How to get home. B．Which route to take.

C．Which city to go to first. D．How to contact their friend. 2、What did the author’s husband do after hearing her suggestion? A．He expressed his strong fear. B．He found their car broke down. C．He put it into practice. D．He turned to his cellphone for help. 3、What can we infer from Paragraph 6?

A．It was an unexpected experience to see Knows tics Academy. B．It was a part of their travel schedule to see Knows tics Academy. C．Knows tics Academy inspired the author’s son to study harder.

D．Seeing Knows tics Academy was a suggestion given by the author’s friend. 4、What does the author feel according to the last paragraph? A．She regrets giving up the main road. B．She can’t help missing her life in Paris. C．She dreams of settling in Zimbabwe one day. D．She likes her experiences in Zimbabwe.

22．（8分）Joy Mangano was 33 and divorced. She had three kids under age 7, and was barely keeping up payments on her small two-bedroom home by working extra hours as a waitress. “There were times when I would lie in bed and think, I don’t know how I’m going to pay that bill,” Mangano says.

But he had a special ability for seeing the obvious thing. She knew how hard it was to mop the floor. “I was tired of bending down, putting my hands in dirty water, wringing (拧) out a mop,” Mangano says. “So, There s gotta be a better way.

How about a “self-wringing” mop? She designed a special tool you could twist in two directions at once, and still keep your hands clean and dry. She set out to sell it, first a few at flea markers.

Then Mangano met with the media. But would couch potatoes (电视迷）buy a mop? The experts on shopping TV were less than certain. They gave it a try, and it failed. Mangano was sure it would sell if they’d let her do the on-camera display. She said, “Get me on that stage, and I will sell this mop because it’s a great item.”

So QVC, a multinational corporation specializing in televised home shopping, took a chance on her. “ I got onstage and the phones went crazy. We sold every mop in minutes.”

Today she’s president of Ingenious Designs, a multimillion-dollar company, and one of the stars of HSN, the Home Shopping Network. Talking about the household invention, Mangano says, “It is as natural for me as it is for a parent to talk about their child.” 1、What is the first paragraph mainly about? A．Mangano’s small home. B．Mangano’s work experience. C．Mangano’s unhappy marriage. D．Mangano’s hard living conditions.

2、Mangano said the mop successfully with the help of . A．HSN B．QVC

C．couch potatoes D．experts on shopping TV 3、What does Mangano think of her invention? A．Special. B．Normal. C．Dissatisfied D．Unbelievable. 4、What can we learn from the text?

A．HSN is a business organization that sells goods on the Internet. B．The experts on shopping TV were confident about Mangano's mop. C．Mangano got the idea of self-wringing mop from her own experience. D．Mangano once had to work seven days a week to support her family.

23．（8分）When an ice cube melts, it creates a puddle (水坑). When an ice sheet (冰盖)melts, it raises sea levels. It sounds simple, but scientists have debated for decades whether both the Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets actually were shrinking, and how much that melting contributed to rising sea levels.

Now, a new study has provided the best evidence of how the polar ice sheets are responding to our warming world. In the study, an international team of scientists looked at 20 years of' data in the ice sheets collected by 10 satellite missions. The team's conclusion: The Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets both are losing ice
