三、阅读理解
Have you ever dreamed of travelling all the way over the rainbow Well, it’s easier than you think. All you need to do is to book a plane ticket to Rainbow Mountain in Peru (秘鲁).
Rainbow Mountain is a beautiful natural wonder. It lies in the Andes in Cusco (库斯科的安第斯山脉). As its name suggests, the mountain has different colours.
But why is it in yellow, green, red and purple The reason is the ice that covered the area centuries ago. When it started to melt(融化), the water mixed with the minerals (矿物质) in the ground and turned the earth into many colours.
If you plan your trip to the mountain, try to go during warmer months when there is less rain or snow. Rain or snow makes the climbing more difficult and the colours will look less beautiful. The best time is from March to November, when there are blue skies and pleasant weather. At the same time, visit it in the morning or evening, either right after sunrise or right before sunset. Very sunny days may make you not take nice photos.
To get to Rainbow Mountain, you should first travel to Cusco—a province in the south of Peru. Then you can take a drive to Qesoyuno. From there you can start the journey on foot. It takes about a two-or-three hour walk to the top. This is really the best way, but the trip is very difficult. Because the mountain sits at a very high altitude (海拔) about 5,200 metres above sea level, so bring enough water and take your time.

A.By listing a fact. B.By asking a question.
C.By telling a story. D.By giving an example.
2.What can we learn about Rainbow Mountain
A.It has seven different colours.
B.It’s a man-made wonder.
C.It was covered by ice in the past.
D.It’s the most famous place of Peru.
3.Which of the following is the best time for a trip to Rainbow Mountain
A.At noon of a cold day in December.
B.On the evening of a rainy day in August.
C.On the afternoon of a snowy day in January.
D.On the morning of a sunny day in September.
4.What’s the passage mainly about
A.The way to get to Rainbow Mountain.
B.An introduction to Rainbow Mountain.
C.The best time to go to Rainbow Mountain.

四、任务型阅读
As we all know, Yuan Longping is famous as the father of hybrid rice (杂交水稻之父). He was born on September 7, 1930 in Chongqing, and died in Changsha on May 22, 2021. In November, 2020, he and his team set a new record. They grew a new kind of hybrid rice called “Sanyou No. 1”. Its yield (产量) can reach 1,500 kg per mu. That means a 1-mu field (田地) can feed (喂养) five people!
When he was young, he saw lots of Chinese people starving (挨饿). He has tried hard to make sure everyone has enough to eat. To get closer to this goal (目标), he grew hybrid rice. Hybrid rice is very important for China. About one-fifth of the world’s people live in China. But China only has less than 9 percent of the world’s land. So the rice grown in China has to have a big yield. It has to have more grains (稻粒) in each plant. Its grains have to be bigger. It has to be strong so that we can grow it in deserts (沙漠), mountains, and snowy villages. Hybrid rice can take in water and nutrition (营养) from the ground better than other rice. It can take in sunlight better as well. All of these things help it grow bigger and taller. Its annual yield (年产量) is about 20 percent higher than that of other rice.
“I had a dream. In my dream, rice plants grow as tall as sorghum (高粱), each ear of rice (稻穗) is as big as a broom (扫把), and each grain of rice is as huge as a peanut (花生).” Yuan once said. Isn’t that wonderful Maybe the scientist’s dream will come true someday.
