I’m really glad to hear from you at this moment when my school has been shut down in a response to the COVID-19 disease. Now I have to spend most of my days at home taking on-line classes, completing more schoolwork assigned by my worried teachers and parents!

Although I’ve started to adjust well to my life at home, I really miss the familiar rhythm of school life. I hope that the outbreak will soon come to an end so I can study with my friends again rather than being holed up in my room all the day.

Best wishes!

Yours, Li Hua

20. Hot Air Balloons

A hot air balloon is made up of 3 main parts: The Envelope The actual fabric balloon which holds the air. The Burner The unit which pushes the heat up into the envelope The Basket Where the passengers and pilot stand The basis of how the balloon works is that warmer air rises in cooler air. This is because hot air is lighter than cool air as it has less mass per unit of volume. Mass can be defined by the measure of how much matter something contains. The actual balloon has to be large as it takes a large amount of heated air to lift it off the ground.

The burner uses propane gas to heat up the air in the envelope to move the balloon off the ground and into the air. The pilot must keep firing the burner at regular intervals throughout the flight to ensure that the balloon continues to the stable. Naturally, the hot air will not escape from the hot at the very bottom of the envelop as firstly, hot air rises and secondly, the floating power keeps it moving up.

To move the balloon upwards, the pilot opens up the propane value which lets the propane

flow to the burner which in turn frees the flame up into the envelope. It works in much the same way as a gas grill: the more you open the valve, the bigger the flame to beat the air and the faster the balloon rises.

The “Parachute Valve” at the very top of the balloon is what is used to bring the balloon down towards the ground. It is a circle of fabric cut out of the top of the envelop which is controlled by a rope which runs down through the middle of the envelope to the basket. If the pilot wants to bring the balloon down, he or she simply pulls on the rope which will open the valve, letting hot air escape, decreasing the inner air temperature. This cooling of air causes the balloon to slow its rise.

The pilot can operate horizontally by changing the vertical position of the balloon because the wind blows in different directions at different altitudes. If the pilot wants to move in a particular direction, he or she simply arises and falls to the appropriate level and rides with the wind.

60. The purpose of this article is to __________. A. explain how hot air balloons work. B. illustrate why hot air balloons are useful. C. describe hot air balloons’ structure.

D. inform readers about how hot air balloons are made.

61. What would happen if the “Parachute Valve” could not be released after it was opened? A. The inside of the balloon would continue to heat up. B. The balloon would climb up more rapidly.

C. The self-sealing valve would need to take over the role of the Parachute Valve. D. The balloon would begin to move down more rapidly.

62. Which of the following skills or knowledge would be the most useful to a balloon pilot? A. The ability to sew the panels of fabric together to make a balloon. B. An understanding of how propane gas is manufactured.

C. A knowledge of the background of passengers who are travelling in the balloon.

D. A knowledge of air currents and wind directions in the area where he is piloting the balloon.

60. A 61. D 62. D 【分析】

这是一篇说明文，介绍了热气球的构造以及其工作原理。

【60题详解】

推理判断题。由第一段“The basis of how the balloon works is that warmer air rises in cooler air.第二段The burner uses propane gas to heat up the air in the envelope to move the balloon off the ground and into the air.第三段To move the balloon upwards, the pilot opens up the propane value which lets the propane flow to the burner which in turn frees the flame up into the envelope第四段The “Parachute Valve” at the very top of the balloon is what is used to bring the balloon down towards the ground第五段The pilot can operate horizontally by changing the vertical position of the balloon because the wind blows in different directions at different altitudes.”可知，每一段都在介绍热气球的是怎么工作的，所以短文的目的就是在介绍热气球是怎么工作的。故A选项正确。 【61题详解】

推理判断题。由倒数第二段“The “Parachute Valve” at the very top of the balloon is what is used to bring the balloon down towards the ground. If the pilot wants to bring the balloon down, he or she simply pulls on the rope which will open the valve, letting hot air escape, decreasing the inner air temperature”可知，气球顶部的“降落伞阀”是用来将气球降落到地面的。如果飞行员想把气球放下，他或她只需拉动绳子就可以打开阀门，让热空气逸出，降低内部空气温度。所以判断出，如果“降落伞阀”打开后无法关闭，气球会快速地向下移动。故D选项正确。 【62题详解】

推理判断题。由最后一段“The pilot can operate horizontally by changing the vertical position of the balloon because the wind blows in different directions at different altitudes. If the pilot wants to move in a particular direction, he or she simply arises and falls to the appropriate level and rides with the wind.”可知，飞行员可以通过改变气球的垂直位置来水平操作，因为风在不同的高度向不同的方向吹。如果飞行员想朝某一特定方向移动，他或她只需站起来，下降到合适的高度，顺风行驶。所以判断掌握气流和风向的知识对气球驾驶员最有用。故D选项正确。

【点睛】根据事实或者是实例进行正向或者反向推理，是解决推理判断题的重要解题方法。由倒数第二段“The “Parachute Valve” at the very top of the balloon is what is used to bring the balloon down towards the ground. If the pilot wants to bring the balloon down, he or she simply pulls on the rope which will open the valve, letting hot air escape, decreasing the inner air temperature可知，气球顶部的“降落伞阀”是用来将气球降落到地面的。如果飞行员想

把气球放下，他或她只需拉动绳子就可以打开阀门，让热空气逸出，降低内部空气温度。所以推理出，如果“降落伞阀”打开后无法关闭，气球内部温度就会迅速降低，热气球就会快速地向下移动。故D选项为小题2的正确选项。

21. My wife passed away a few years ago, and I went through the worst time in my life. I even wanted to kill myself. Just for kids, I had to continue to live and work as small-town doctor at my medical clinic in Hawaii. My kids had gone to live on the mainland, and I was alone. Then they asked me to have a family trip.

On our trip, we turned on the TV at the motel and saw the second plane crash into the World Trade Center. Seeing it falling down, I said to my kids: “I’m going to Afghanistan”. And a few weeks later, international Medical Corps sent me to set up 20 clinics in provinces where people had no health care. In these field clinics surrounded by frightening shoots or deadly bombs, we were eventually serving 27,000 patients a month in a very busy schedule. Tired and nervous, I gradually had a sense of achievement, a sense of purpose, and my depression went away.

In the years to follow, I went to Indonesia after the tsunami, Pakistan after the earthquakes, Sudan after the civil warm and Iraq after more and more bombs. Each time after disasters one after another, hundreds of people were killed, wounded and many more had to flee. We once set up movable clinics in an area with 19,000 refugees, and it was supposed to hold 13,000 originally. Flu broke out, one of the biggest killers of kids in refugee camps, and it spread like wildfire. Water and food were also serious problems. “Adventures or not?” I often asked myself.

When my wife passed away, I thought my life was done. But in reality, it was just getting started. At the end of her life, she went unconscious. I held her head in my hands and told her of all the places we would visit and the exciting adventures we would have.

I think about the moment many times during my “adventures”. I didn’t know how predictive those words would be. But I know that she is still with me. 63. Where has the doctor been in the past few years? A. Some countries where he could set up clinics. B. Some African countries where flu broke out. C. The places where the earthquakes happened.

D. The places that the horrible disasters struck.

. How would the doctor describe his life after he had worked in Afghanistan?

A. Tired and troublesome. B. Busy and risky. C. Meaningful and helpful D. Frightening and depressing.

65. The underlined word “refugees” means people_______________. A. who are robbed, killed, or wounded B. who suffer from flu in movable clinics C. who like to take adventures

D. who have lost homes because of disasters.

66. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. the doctor’s wife encouraged him to work in foreign countries.

B. What the doctor said to his wife before her death became reality. C. The doctor’s adventures made him understand the love of his wife. D. With the true love of his wife, the doctor started to change his life.
