24、American English is full of colorful expressions． One such expression is to touch all bases．

There are four bases in baseball – first,  second,  third and home plate． When a baseball player hits the ball,  he must run to each base – in order – and touch it with his foot． It is the only way to get a point． If the player hits the ball and fails to touch all the bases,  the point will not be counted．

The importance of touching all the bases was shown at the start of the 1974 baseball seasons．

Hank Aaron was a player with the Atlanta Braves team． He was trying to find the record for hitting the most home runs (全垒打)． Aaron needed just one home run to be well matched with the record held by Babe Ruth,  the greatest hitter in baseball history． Aaron got that home run the very first time he had a chance to hit the ball． That gave him 714 home runs – the same as Babe Ruth． After that day,  baseball fans held their breath every time when it was Hank Aaron’s turn to hit． When would he hit home run number 715?

The wait was not long． In the second week of the season,  Aaron again hit the ball over the wall． He had beaten Babe Ruth’s record． But first,  he had to run around the four bases． The other players on his team watched carefully to make sure he touched each one．

So,  to touch all bases means to do what is necessary to complete an activity．

The expression is used to business and politics． No business deal or political events are really complete until you discuss all the problems involved． Or,  as it is said,  until you touch all bases．

【1】When a baseball player hits the ball,  he must ______ to get a point．

A．run to each base freely

B．touch the home plate first

C．touch all the bases with his hands

D．run to each base in order and touch it with his foot

【2】When was the importance of touching all the bases shown?

A．At the start of the 1974 baseball seasons．

B．At the end of the 1974 baseball seasons．

C．Before the baseball rules made．

D．In the second week of 1974．

【3】Who hit home run number 715?

A．Babe Ruth．

B．Hank Aaron．

C．Babe Ruth’s partner．

D．Hank Aaron’s friend．

【4】What does the expression “to touch all bases” mean?

A．To do what is needed to finish an activity．

B．To get a chance to be the greatest hitter．

C．To try your best to set a new record．

D．To solve the problems successfully．

Chinese scientists have released a new geologic map of the moon. They say it is the world’s most detailed map of the moon’s surface to date. The mapping project took more than a hundred researchers 10 years to complete.

The mapping work used data from the Chang’e missions as the main source. It also used high-quality data from international exploration programmes. China started the Chang’e programme in 2004. Since then, the country has sent various landers and rovers (探测器) to the moon in order to collect data.

The new map was drawn at a scale of 1: 2, 500, 000. On this map, we can see 12, 341 impact craters (撞击坑), 81 impact basins (撞击盆地), 17 different rock types and 14 unique types of structures. The map also shows the locations of the leading sites of the Chang’e missions.

The most detailed map provides a lot of information about the geology of the moon and its evolution. It is expected to make a great contribution to scientific research. It can also help select the landing sites on the moon for future exploration missions.

The United States Geological Survey (USGS) has made a number of regional maps of the moon with data from the Apollo missions. However, those maps were completed at different times with different levels of quality. So they were not able to be directly used together. The Apollo programme succeeded in preparing and landing the first humans on the moon between the years of 1968 and 1972.

“The USGS did put its regional maps together to complete a 1:5 million-scale map in 2020,” said the researchers. “That map, however, is less detailed in comparison to China’s 1: 2.5 million scale map.”

【1】Which word can be used to best describe the mapping work?

A．Simple.

B．Boring.

C．Difficult.

D．Surprising.

【2】What can we learn about the new map?

A．It was drawn at a scale of 1: 250, 000.

B．It is more detailed than the map by the USGS.

C．It provides some information about the earth’s evolution.

D．It shows the locations of the leading sites of the Apollo missions.

【3】What’s the main source of the mapping work?

A．Date from landers and rovers.

B．Date from the Apollo missions.

C．Date from the Chang’e mission.

D．Date from international exploration programmes.

【4】Where is the passage most likely from?

A．A report.

B．A diary.

C．A novel.

D．A guidebook.

26、   Captain (船长) Nemo invited me and my friends to go hunting with him in the forests of Crespo Island. I asked him why he was so interested in Crespo Island. “I thought you preferred the sea to being on land.”

“I do,” replied the captain. “But these forests are under the sea.”

After going through a door, we were about ten meters under the water. The light from the sun reached us. Everything looked very colourful. We were going deeper and deeper. At 100 meters deep, we could see quite well, and Captain Nemo stopped and pointed to some dark shapes. This was the forest. The “trees” in the forest were giant seaweed, and all their “branches” were vertical (垂直的). We could not stop looking at them. Fish swam around the branches like birds in a forest.

Suddenly, I saw a large sea spider about a meter tall. It was going to attack me. Captain Nemo’s man killed it with his gun, but it reminded me that the sea could be as dangerous as it was beautiful. When we reached 150 meters, it was dark. The sun’s light could not reach this depth (深度). We turned our lights. We could see about 20 meters around us. Finally, we found Crespo Island—where a steep rock wall rose in front of us.

We could go no further, so we walked back toward the Nautilus. Suddenly, Captain Nemo stopped and shot an animal with his gun, it was a beautiful and rare sea otter. At last, we could see the Nautilus. Several large sharks swam over us. Luckily they didn’t see us. We re-entered the Nautilus safely. I was tired but amazed by what I had seen.

【1】What do “dark shapes” in Paragraph 3 refer to (指的是)?

A．Trees

B．Seaweed

C．Rocks

D．Fish

【2】When they reached _________ meters, they couldn’t see quite well?

C．100

D．150

③The men went to the forest.

④Captain Nemo invited us to go hunting.

⑤Captain Nemo shot an otter.

A．④①③⑤②

B．③④②⑤①

C．④③①⑤②
