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．（6分） The Great Wall, China
Stretching over 21,000 kilometers, the Great Wall was built to prevent invasions and has a history of more than 2,000 years. UNESCO in February 2019 calls it an absolute masterpiece, not only because of the ambitious character of the undertaking but also the perfection of its construction.”
But perfection isn’t protection. 51.2 percent of the Great Wall had either already disappeared or is at a significant risk of disappearing. Besides for wind and rain erosion, the main reasons for the destruction of the Great Wall are human factors such as tourism, construction, human contact and so on.
Pamukkale，Turkey
Pamukkale, which means “cotton castle” in Turkish, is famous for its shining white calcite terraces (方解石阶地)with warm and mineral-rich waters overrun.
Before being listed as a World Heritage Site in 1988, Pamukkale had been severely damaged by human activities. People used hot spring water to fill swimming pools, some visitors stood on the rocks and some even bathed in the hot springs with soap and shampoo. To protect the terraces, the Turkish government has decided to pull down the hotels and require all tourists to visit this site barefoot.
Great Barrier Reef, Australia
Home to 400 types of coral and 1,500 species of fish, the Great Barrier Reef draws visitors to Australia from all over the world.
However, the Great Barrier Reef is expected to suffer from increasingly frequent bleaching events, cases in which corals turn white and may die, according to a UNESCO report. The heat waves caused by global warming have killed half of the coral here in the two years, according to a CNN report. Pollution from industry developments and harmful fishing practices are also big concerns.
The Dead Sea, Jordan
At 423 meters below sea level, the Dead Sea is 10 times saltier than the ocean, meaning that the water is so dense, even tourists who can9t swim will be able to float.
But the seaside resorts built in the 1980s now sit kilometers away from the water’s edge, which has lost half of its surface area in the past 40 years. The damage is irreversible due to the nature of the mineral industry and the type of agricultural use that has drained the water.
1、Which are you required to visit without shoes?
A．The Great Wall, China.
B．Pamukkale, Turkey.
C．Great Barrier Reef, Australia.
D．The Dead Sea, Jordan.
2、Which of the following statements is true?
A．Main reasons for the destruction of the Great Wall come from wind and rain erosion.
B．Pamukkale was damaged by human activities after 1988.
C．Pollution and the heat waves caused by global warming kill much coral in the Great Barrier Reef.
D．Half of the Dead Sea surface area has disappeared in the past two decades.
3、What do the above spots have in common?
A．They are all famous endangered natural spots.
B．They’re damaged only from human activities.
C．They all draw the attention of the governments.
D．They’re all seriously damaged.
22．（8分）Weaving hammocks is an art that takes a sharp eye, a skilled hand and lots of patience. But in Lenwood Haddock’s case, being blind works to his advantage. His trained, sensitive hands are acutely aware of every step of the process. Since beginning his craft in 1986, Lenwood has woven about 145, 000 perfect hammocks.

Lenwood lost his sight in 1973, at age 18, during a hunting accident. “My whole working career has been blind,” he says. He first found a job as a woodworker, but when that organization closed, the North Carolina Division of Services for the Blind connected him with Hatteras Hammocks. On his first day of work. “I did a total of one hammock,” Lenwood recalls, laughing. “And then I came home and lay down to sleep. I lift weights, but I wasn’t as tough as I thought until I started weaving.lt takes a lot of energy, and you’re standing up all day.”
In time, however, Lenwood found he had a knack (窍门) for the job. At first he worked on-site at the company, but after a year Lenwood moved his operation to the home workshop where he had worked for 10 years during his woodworking days.
There, he creates dozens of hammocks each week from ropes in a variety of sizes. One day, he realized the step counter on his phone recorded him walking eight miles without ever leaving his shop.
The process of weaving a hammock involves making and catching hundreds of loops (环). A single missed stitch (织针) creates a hole that can widen and make the hammock uncomfortable or even dangerous to use. Experienced weavers miss loops sometimes, but to his company’s knowledge, Lenwood has never turned in a hammock with even one dropped stitch. Lenwood’s skilled fingers are quick to catch and fix any mistakes.
The company has acquired other brands and changed its name to The Hammock Source. Today, it is the world’s largest maker and seller of hammocks, all built by hand.
However, Lenwood’s routine has changed little. He works his fingers back and forth across the rows, looping the rope and pulling it. With every hammock, Lenwood presents himself a perfect product. “I’m not sure how sighted people do it,” he admits.
1、Lenwood stopped doing his first job because .
A．it was for people with good eyesight only
B．the company failed to go on with its business
C．the company didn’t produce hammocks
D．he was not skilled at doing woodwork
2、It can be learned from the passage that Lenwood .
A．has been blind all through his life
B．used to work as a hunter to support his family
C．was born in the 1950s with good eyesight
D．has worked as a hammock weaver for 10 years
3、What can we learn about Lenwood from the 4th paragraph?
A．He moved very often while he was working on a hammock.
B．He had to make different ropes before he wove a hammock.
C．He had to stay 8 miles away from the worksite to complete it.
D．He needed ropes of about 8 miles long to complete a hammock.
4、What does the passage mainly talk about?
A．the success of the Hammock Source Company
B．a blind craftsman who makes perfect hammocks
C．how to weave perfect hammocks by hand
D．how to become a successful craftsman
