第二部分 阅读理解（满分20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。
A
No spacecraft will ever land on the sun. the sun is a flaming ball of gas that reaches thousands of degrees Fahrenheit. But next year, a ship from Earth will fly closer to it than any man made craft has flown before. The mission(任务)is a big development for scientists and, maybe, for everyone else.
In September 2018, NASA plans to launch the Parker Solar Probe. After a journey of nearly 90 million miles, it will fly within 3.8 million miles of the sun. within two months of launching, the probe is expected to reach the sun’s corona(日冕). That’s the sun’s outer atmosphere of gases.
Getting there won’t be easy. Designing a spacecraft tough enough to hold up to the sun’s heat has proved difficult. But that hasn’t stopped engineers from trying. Temperatures in the corona can reach millions of degrees. The probe will limit itself to regions where things get no hotter than 2,500oF. That’s still a heavy heat load for a spacecraft. But a 4.5-inch-thick heat shield(罩)will protect the probe’s camera and scientific instruments.
NASA says the data the probe collects could provide knowledge into the physics of stars. Our sun is special to us. But as a star, it’s rather common. So the better we understand how it works, the better we understand all stars of its mass and color.
Perhaps the most important is what the probe may show us about solar storms. During solar storms, charged particles stream through the solar system. They can disable communications satellites and shut down powder systems. One study has found that a very intense solar storm could cause up to $2 trillion in damage in the US alone. It could also black out the East Coast for a year.
Understanding solar storms might allow us to predict them and protect ourselves. That could make even a mission with a billion-plus price tag one of NASA’s great bargains.
1、What can we learn about the probe?
A．It’ll fly closer to the sun that the previous ones
B．It’s the first man made instrument to fly to the sun
C．It’ll get to the core of the sun in nearly two months
D．It’ll fly about 3.8 million miles to reach the corona.
2、What is the challenge for the engineers?
A．Directing the probe to collect data
B．Reducing the temperature of the probe
C．Building a shield against the heat
D．Limiting the probe to proper regions
3、What might be the best title?
A．Exploring the stars B．Getting close to the sun
C．Designing a spaceship D．Protecting the earth
4、Where does the value of the mission lie?
A．Monitoring satellites B．Exploring solar energy
C．Developing scientific instruments D．Forecasting solar storms

B
US student Vanessa Tahay stands out from the other teenagers in her school. Her skin is dark, her accent is thick, and if you ask her, she will tell you these are the things she is proudest of. Tahay is a poet, and at 18 she was considered among the best in Los Angeles.
When she is on the stage, audiences often go silent. They also laugh, shout and cry. But this doesn’t come easily for someone who comes from a village that sits at the base of a huge mountain range in Central America. When she first appeared at school, she was teased by others for being short and different. She never spoke, so they called her “mouse”.
“How do I defend myself?” Tahay thought. “I don’t know how.”
“Keep going,” her mother would tell her. “At some point, you’ll learn.”
She spent hours after school and on weekends watching the same DVDs: English without Barriers.
Tahay’s elder brother, Elmer, persuaded her to go to the after-school poetry club. In the last six years, her English teacher Laurie Kurnick has turned Cleveland Charter High School’s poetry program into one of the most respected in the city. Her team draws from the likes of D．H. Laurence, Pat Mora and Kendrick Lamar to create poems about their own lives. The poems focus on many things —some funny, some painful.
The first time Tahay read the group’s poems, chills went up her spine (脊柱). “I wish I could write like that,” she thought. “I want to say something.”
She wrote her first poem about her first year in America. She called it Invisible. The day her turn came to recite in front of the team, she broke down crying. She cried for 15 minutes. “I had so much held in,” Tahay said. “I couldn’t even finish it.”
But she kept at it despite her less-than-perfect grammar, spelling and diction (措辞). Still, she wouldn’t tell her friends about her poetry because she worried they would make fun of her.
But with time, her poems changed her. “They gave me pride,” Tahay said. “They told me that I’m worth something.”
“She had this innocence,” Kurnick said. “This willingness to be genuine and show you things you don’t ever see.”
1、What did Tahay’s mother suggest she do when she was teased by others?
A．Fight with them bravely.
B．Report them to her teachers.
C．Ignore them and keep going.
D．Try hard to make friends with them.
2、What are the themes of Tahay and her team’s poems?
A．Their admiration for the great poets.
B．Their appreciation of natural beauty.
C．Their expectations of a better future.
D．Funny and painful stories about their lives.
3、How did Tahay probably feel when she first read the group’s poems?
A．She was cold. B．She was excited.
C．She was nervous. D．She was frightened.
4、How did Tahay benefit from writing poems?
A．She felt more confident about herself.
B．She won many national poetry competitions.
C．She became the first student poet in the city.
D．She improved her grammar and spelling greatly.
