Getting to Antarctica is not easy. The few who are lucky enough to visit this most mysterious continent do so by ships. To reach Antarctica, ships must pass through a notoriously violent area of ocean called the Drake Passage, considered to be the roughest stretch of sea on the planet.
Walls of water thirty, sometimes forty feet high continually crashed about our ship for two solid days. We would hold on to a rope inside the ship while being violently tipped to one extreme side, then to the other, and then back again. My daughter Claire and I were as mentally prepared as we could be.
About two and a half days after entering the Drake Passage, the waters calmed. Soon, we noticed small black spots on nearby pieces of floating ice. Emperor penguins! Then, we began the two-mile hike over the ice to the penguin colony. Within several hundred yards, little clusters of emperors, perhaps ten or so at a time, greeted us, sliding on their bellies and making their wonderful noises, sort of a nasally squeal.
One day two adult emperors with their three chicks in tow approached Claire, who was resting on the ice. They left the chicks with her, as if she were the babysitter. Twenty minutes later they returned to collect the chicks. And I will never forget the penguin that, when I jokingly asked which way back to the helicopters, pointed a wing in the correct direction.Every night aboard our safe and warm ship, we thought about what it takes to survive in Antarctica, an incredibly harsh place.
But each day on the ice, we also thought about the Drake passage, that monstrous body of water we had to endure to get where we were. Over the course of our visit, we came to respect the power of that sea. We still talk about the penguins, as I’m sure we always will. But we talk about the Drake too. Both experiences were unforgettable, and one would not have been possible without the other.

24. What does the word notoriously mean in paragraph 1 ?
A. Frequently traveled. B. Hard to locate.
C. Recognized negatively. D. Aimlessly sailed.
25. Which of the following best describe the voyage in the Drake passage?
A. Boring. B.Comfortable. C. Smooth. D. Difficult.
26. What does the author mostly focuses on penguins when describing them?
A. Dependence on one another.
B. Collecting their baby chicks in time.
C. Friendly and entertaining behavior.
D. Ability to survive in their environment.
27. What did the author most likely gain from his experience?
A. An increased respect for the power of nature.
B. An understanding of how animals survive in cold climates.
C. An awareness of the types of activities his daughter enjoys.
D. An interest in other journeys that involve physical challenges.

C
Black history museums and historic sites are thriving or growing forcefully across the South. They're riding a wave of interest in African-American history that's made a stunning success of the 2-year-old National Museum of African American History and Culture in the nation's capital.
Attendance at some large museums is decreasing. Twelve of the 20 biggest U.S. museums saw flat or lower attendance from 2016 to 2017. In comparison, various activities involving black history stand out.
In Church Creek, Maryland, for example, a 1-year-old, 17-acre state-national park memorializes the place where Harriet Tubman was born and enslaved. Tubman escaped slavery and later helped many others escape, too. The park was expected to draw 75,000 visitors its first year. However, it attracted 100,000. 
History professionals cite several factors for the phenomenon. The Black Lives Matter movement, conflicts over Confederate monuments, protests by NFL players and last year's violence in Charlottesville, Virginia, also have made a difference. These activities have caused more Americans to consider how race affects them.
When the national museum opened, "We thought that might have the impact of gaining the public spotlight. Just the opposite," said Moore, president of Charleston, South Carolina's International African American Museum. It has jump-started more presentations of black history. "There are art museums everywhere, and there are history museums everywhere. I see it as really healthy that there will be African-American museums everywhere."
States also are spending money to promote civil rights tourism. 14 Southern state tourism agencies in January launched a website detailing stops on what they are calling the U.S. Civil Rights Trail.The South Carolina African American Heritage Commission last year created a "Green Book" mobile app. It includes 300 historic African-American sites in South Carolina.
"Cultural tourism, or heritage tourism, is one of the fastest growing markets in the country," said Jannie Harriot. She is the vice chairperson of the South Carolina commission."(But) nothing that we do is limited to black people. Sometimes I think white people are more interested in our history than we are."

28. Why does the author mention the example state-national park in paragraph 3?
A. To reflect the development of the park.
B. To introduce the life of Tubman.
C. To present the attraction of large museums.
D. To show the increased interest in black history.
29. What is the Moore’s attitude to the open of national museum?
A. Favorable. B. Indifferent. C. Doubtful. D. Unclear.
30. What can we learn about civil rights tourism?
A. An increased amount of money has mainly helped to preserve historic sites.
B. Actions have been taken only by black people to promote civil rights tourism.
C. Efforts have been made to increase tourism and attention to historic sites.
D. Commission has done nothing to arouse the interest of black people in history.
31. Which of the following is a suitable title for the passage?
A. Activities Involving Black History Standing Out.
B. Reasons for the Increased Interest in Black History.
C. The Increased Awareness of Preserving Black History.
D. Black History Tourism and Museums Attracting Attention.

D
There are many interconnected links between Earth and space exploration. The Earth and Space Foundation(基金会), was founded for the purposes of developing such links by field research and direct practical action.
Projects that have been supported by the Foundation include environmental projects using technologies of space exploration: satellite communications, GPS, remote sensing, advanced materials and power sources. For example, the people of Guatemala are faced with the loss of the forests on which their livelihood depends. Rather than opposing economic progress and trying to save the forests on their own strengths, one new approach is to improve the value of the forests. The Foundation has previously given a fund to a group of explorers that used remote sensing to plan eco-tourism routes in the forests of Guatemala, thus bringing income to the local populations through tourism. This novel approach is now making the protection of the forests a reasonable economic decision.
The Foundation funds many archaeological(考古学的) field projects, which reflect the contributions of the early civilization to astronomy(天文学) and space sciences. The Foundation helped fund a large archaeology project by the Society for Syrian Archaeology at the University of California, Los Angeles. It worked with the Syrian government and used GPS and satellite imagery to locate banks of earth, or ‘tels’, containing treasures and relics of ancient civilizations. These collections are being used to build a better picture of the nature of the civilizations that gave birth to astronomy.
Field research also applies the Earth’s environmental and biological resources to the human exploration and settlement of space. This may include the use of remote environments on Earth, as well as physiological and psychological studies in harsh environments. In one research project, the Foundation gave financial support to an international caving expedition to study the psychology of explorers in caves in Mexico for a period of time. The results of the tests were used by the NASA Johnson Space Center to improve US astronaut selection standard. Besides, a Mars-like programme has been launched in one area in the the Arctic, whose environment is similar to the Mars’, to test communications and exploration technologies in preparation for the human exploration of Mars.

32. What do we know about the novel approach in the Guatemala project?
A. It opposed the development of economy.
B. It reduced the impact of tourists on the forests.
C. It showed that preserving the forests can be profitable.
D. It gave the Foundation greater control over the forests.
33. Why were GPS and satellite imagery used in the Syrian project ?
A. To explore land that is hard to reach.
B. To find ancient items buried under the earth.
C. To limit the impact of archaeological activity
D. To rebuild the picture of all the civilizations.
34.  What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. The space environment is as tough as the environment on Earth.
B. It is unlikely to test the technologies needed to explore Mars on Earth.
C. The length of time in caves certainly leads to the best astronaut selection standard.
D. Space-like environments on Earth may help us understand how to operate in the space.
35.  What is the writer’s purpose in the passage?
A. To encourage people to explore the space.
B. To introduce the function of the Foundation.
C. To persuade people to study the caves.
D. To show the importance of space exploration.
