　　Death Valley is the lowest, hottest, driest area in North America．This California National Park has less than 5 cm of rainfall a year and temperature up to 53℃ in summer．That's enough to keep Americans away during the hottest months from June to August．But it is the high temperature and terrible heat that draw their most crazy fans, the foreign tourists．From all over the world, they come to the valley floor in cars, carrying maps and water bottles, and fanning themselves with newspapers to keep cool．

　　About 13 million visetors enter the park each year, from June through August．90％ of them are foreigners．They go there to experience the summer heat that gives Death Valley its name．The average high in July is53.2℃ and the low 30℃．For August, the average high si 52.2℃ and the low 29.4℃．

　　So what do Americans think of the foreign visitors who arrive for the heat, just when locals from the United States try to avoid it? Park manager Brenda Henson says, “ The foreigners want to experience the heat in Death Valley．We think it's crazy．”

　　In fact, Death Valley is a series of salt flats(盐滩)225 km long and 6 km to 26 km wide．Birds and animals are largely absent, and only the hardiest plants have some chance of existence in this extreme place．

　　One tourist from Paris concluded, “ We come to it because we can tell all our friends and family that we've been to the hottest place in the world．”

第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
When I worked in Swaziland, one day we went to an orphanage （孤儿院）．There we found a beautiful little girl named Tanzile．I gave her a sweet and she said something back to me in Si-swati, which the nurse next to me translated, “She wants another one — to give to her little sister．” I said “of course”．When we were going to leave, we passed by Tanzile’s house to say goodbye．To our surprise she seemed to be holding on to that extra sweet I had given her．I remember saying to the nurse “this little darling is clever — she has taken two for herself．”
But the nurse told us, “Tanzile is 7 now．Two years ago her mum and dad both died of AIDS．She was separated from her sister who was three at the time．Tanzile has not laid eyes on her since．But from then on whenever Tanzile receives anything from anyone, including food — she refuses to accept it, unless they give her two．” In fact, in the little mud hut where she lives, we find a pile of old things which she has been collecting to give to her sister one day．
People sometimes look at faces of African children and think that they are somehow different from our kids — that somehow they don’t feel pain or love．But that is not true．Their pain is deep．And so is their love．I can still remember the nurse trying to convince her that “if someone gives you food, you must accept it — even if it is only one piece and not two — for your own health．” And it was so hard for us to keep the tears from our eyes as she shook her head．Her hope and her love was all that she had．It mattered more than anything else．When I returned home that day, I was shocked to find that this was not an isolated story but others in the hospital knew of orphans just like Tanzile — waiting with a little pile of things in their hut, for their lovers who they haven’t seen so long．
I think of that old song — “when we’re hungry, love will keep us alive．”
56．From the passage we can learn Tanzile       ．
A．is very clever                         B．knows her sister has died
C．has stored a lot for her sister          D．doesn’t like sweets
57．How old was her sister when the author met with Tanzile?
A．Three years old．          B．Four years old．
C．Five years old．            D．Six years old．
58．What has the author learned from her experience in Africa?
A．Love is more important in life than anything else．
B．African children are different in a way．
C．African children should be treated fairly．
D．We should express our love in time．
59．The best title for the passage would be        ．
A．Give every child two sweets       B．Tanzile’s love for her sister
C．One for my sister              D．Change your attitude to African children

Several hundred strangers received “love letters” from a young man on the street. The letter was written and given out by Yang Yang, a student majoring in human resources at Chongqing University of Science and Technology，who hoped to show his disappointment with job hunting.

    Yang’s story has caught media attention perhaps because it is similar to those of millions of recent graduates seeking jobs and struggling for survival in the country’s wealthiest cities. They have diplomas, rather than professional skills，and come to big cities in hopes of better lives, only to find low-paying jobs and poor living conditions.

They are China’s “ant tribe(蚁族)”, a term created by sociologist Lian Si from Peking University in his 2009 book, Ant Tribe. “They’re so similar to ants. They share small and narrow living areas. They’re intelligent and hard-working, yet nameless and underpaid.” The term also speaks to their helplessness in a world governed by the law of the jungle -- only the strongest survive.

A survey in Lian’s another book published this year, Ant Tribe II, found nearly 30 percent of “ants” are graduates of famous universities—almost three times last year’s percentage. Most had degrees in popular majors. In addition, 7.2 percent of "ants" have at least a master’s degree compared to 1.6 percent in 2009.

    An “ant’s” average monthly salary is l, 904 yuan, with about 64 percent of them earning less than 2,000 yuan a month.

  Another survey in the 2010 Annual Report on the Development of Chinese Talent found more than 1 million “ants” live in big cities.

   “Most ants are from rural families or small towns, and their experiences in universities didn’t arm them well enough to fight with competitors in big cities’ employment markets.” Professor Zhang Ming at Renmin University of China said.

The “ant tribe’s” embarrassing living situations have become a serious social problem, and the government should develop smaller cities to attract more graduates from big cities, Zhang

believed.

    However, “ants” expect more study and training opportunities in big cities, which keeps them positive despite their situations.

1.Yang’s story is introduced in order to_________.

A. analyze graduates’ difficulties in finding jobs

B. lead to the topic of the article—“ant tribe”

C. tell readers a story about those big cities

D. show a clever way of dealing with pressure

2. The “ants” fail to find high-paying jobs mainly because__________.

A. they have no diplomas from good universities

B. their majors do not meet the needs of society

C. those from rural areas are not treated equally

D. they do not have necessary professional skills

3. “Ant tribe” members are similar to ants in the following aspects EXCEPT that_________.

A. they live in narrow and small places in groups

B. they work hard but earn little for survival

C. they are in a world judged by the jungle law

D. they are pleased with being nameless and underpaid

4.Professor Zhang thought “ants” problems could be solved by__________.

A. creating more jobs for graduates in big cities

B. developing smaller cities to attract graduates

C. sending graduates to rural areas and small towns

D. training graduates to improve their ability
