[2019·福建省质检]Trail Safe ! is a unique safety training program designed specifically for National Park Service (NPS) Trail Volunteers, but is useful to everyone! It's based upon NPS Operational Leadership Training, where the human factor of safety is explored. Trail Safe ! captures the core learning objectives of the 16-hour Operational Leadership course while allowing volunteers to learn from their own homes online.

The Trail Safe ! series includes eight video lessons, each ranging in length from 18 to 40 minutes. Watch them over the course of multiple days, or “binge-watch” the entire series in three hours — it's up to you — but please watch them in order from Lesson 1 through Lesson 8. After viewing the lessons, send your training verification (证实) emails to register your participation. When you have viewed and registered for all eight individual lessons, each participant will receive a Trail

Safe ! pin and a SPE/GAR card in the mail for use in the field. Thank you for helping

to make Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore one of the safest work environments for NPS Trail Volunteers like yourself.

D．Answer all of the questions.

答案与解析：A 考查细节理解。根据第二段倒数第二句“When you have viewed and registered for all eight individual lessons, each participant will receive a Trail

Safe! pin and a SPE/GAR card in the mail for use in the field”可知，观看并注册所

有八个单独的课程后，每个参与者可以得到通过邮件发来的徽章和SPE或GAR卡，故A项正确。

4．What can be inferred about the job of NPS Trail Volunteers? A．It is popular with everyone. B．It can be dangerous.

C．It shall be completed online. D．It needs NPS working experience.

答案与解析：B 考查推理判断。根据第一段第一句中的“a unique safety training program designed specifically for National Park Service (NPS) Trail Volunteers”和第二句中的“where the human factor of safety is explored”以及最后一段中的“risk assessment”可推知，NPS道路志愿者工作是一项危险的工作，故B项正确。

[2019·山西省联考]I became a magician by accident. When I was nine years old, I learned how to make a coin disappear. I'd read The Lord of the Rings and gone into the adult section of the library to be buried in fantasy literature but young enough to still hold out hope that I might find a book of real, actual magic in the library. The book I found taught basic techniques, and I tried to practice.

At first the magic wasn't any good. It was just a trick — a bad trick. I spent hours each day running through the secret moves in front of the mirror. I dropped the coin over and over, a thousand times in a day, and after two weeks my mom got a carpet and placed it under the mirror to muffle (使声音减弱) the sound of the coin falling again and again.

One day I made the coin disappear on the playground. We had been playing football and were standing in the field behind the school. A dozen people were watching. I showed the coin to everyone. Then it disappeared. The kids screamed. Everyone went crazy.

A few years later, I staged an underwater escape in the river that flowed through the middle of the campus of the University of Iowa, where I went to school. I stood on a boat in the middle of the river wearing nothing but biking shorts. The sky was dead and gray, and the water was cold at the surface, and colder in the depths below.

Technically, I succeeded, I jumped into the water, sank to the bottom, and escaped from the locks and the chains before swimming to the surface. But it didn't feel like a success.

体裁：记叙文 题材：个人经历 主题：成为魔术师的经历

【语篇解读】 偶然的机会让作者成为一名魔术师。文章讲述了作者个人早期练习并表演成功的两个魔术：一个是“让硬币消失”，另一个是“水下脱身”。

【难句分析】 I'd read The Lord of the Rings and gone into the adult section of the library to be buried in fantasy literature but young enough to still hold out hope that I might find a book of real, actual magic in the library.

分析：本句为主从复合句。主句是一个复杂的简单句结构，其中and连接并列的两部分谓语；but之后省略了主语和连系动词；名词hope之后跟有that引导的同位语从句。

译文：我阅读过《指环王》，且进入图书馆的成人区，沉浸在梦幻般的文学殿堂里；但是年龄尚小，仍然抱有在图书馆或许能够找到一本真正真实的魔术书籍的希望。

5．What do we know about the author? A．He became a magician in one day.

B．He found wonderful techniques in the library.

C．In order to become a magician, he never stopped practicing.

D．He looked through every section of the library to search for a useful book. 答案与解析：C 考查推理判断。根据第一段最后一句“The book I found taught basic techniques, and I tried to practice.”以及第二段中的“I dropped the coin over and over, a thousand times in a day...”可以推知，作者一直坚持训练，是为了成为魔术师。故选C项。

6．How did the author make the kids scream? A．By playing football with them. B．By making the showing coin disappear. C．By practicing his techniques more frequently. D．By providing hands-on practice.

答案与解析：B 考查细节理解。根据第三段中的“I showed the coin to everyone. Then it disappeared. The kids screamed.”可知，作者通过展示让硬币消失而使观看的孩子们尖叫，故选B项。

7．What can be a suitable title for the text? A．The Magic Trick That Changed My Life B．A Nineteen-year-old Magician C．What Can Give You a Magic Life?

- 4 -

D．A Brief Introduction to a Magician's Life

答案与解析：A 考查主旨大意。综观全文并结合文章第一段第一句“I became a magician by accident.”可知，作者由于偶然的机会对魔术产生了浓厚的兴趣并坚持练习，最终成为魔术师。由此可以推知，魔术改变了作者的生活，故选A项。

[2019·江西联考]It is often difficult for farmers to identify diseases quickly enough to protect their crops and those on neighboring farms. Now, some farmers are using a simple device directly in the field to find viruses before they spread.

In Tanzania, several viruses are a threat to cassava (木薯) crops. Farmers struggle to identify the diseases in an urgent effort to avoid severe crop damage. The disease identification process is often difficult when farmers are acting on their own. If they do not know what is attacking their crops, they cannot decide the best way to fight the disease. A device from British technology company Oxford Nanopore Technologies is changing that. The device extracts deoxyribonucleic acid, better known as DNA, from plants. DNA is the carrier of genetic information in nearly all living things. The device helps farmers identify what is harming their crops so they can change to more resistant crops.

Laura Boykin is with The University of Western Australia and also works with the Cassava Virus Action Project. She brought the device to a Tanzanian farm owned by Asha Mohamed. She said, “We are here collecting leaf punches from infected material to test, to do a DNA extraction and then start sequencing (测定序列) in the field.” The testing identified a number of viruses in the cassava fields near Mohamed's farm. The process also discovered that plants considered resistant to the diseases had a very low viral (病毒的) level. Once the viruses were identified, Asha Mohamed was given two kinds of seeds that are resistant to the diseases.

In another case, DNA was collected from a pawpaw (番木瓜) tree farm in Kenya. With that test, the technology was able to identify diseases affecting Naomi Mumo's crops. Naomi Mumo said, “All my pawpaws were affected by a disease, and I didn't know what kind of disease it was. But now, I have people who have identified the disease using new technology, and within a very short time. So I'm very happy.”

The speed at which farmers identify diseases can mean the difference between the success or failure on large areas of crop land. Now, the use of such simple and easily transportable DNA sequencing devices is making that possible.
