第二部分  阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）
第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）（同期老高三提供）
阅读下面短文，从短文后各题的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选取出适合填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。
A
It’s great fun to explore new places—it feels like an adventure, even when you know you’re not the first to have been there. But make sure not to get lost or waste time going round in circles.
● Do the map reading if you’re being driven somewhere. It’ll be easier if you keep turning the map so it follows the direction you’re traveling in. Keep looking ahead so that you can give the driver lots of warning before having to make a turn, or you’ll have to move to the back seat.
● Get a group of friends together and go exploring. You’ll need a good map, a compass , a raincoat, a cell phone to call for help in case you get lost, and a bit of spare cash for emergencies . Tell someone where you’re going before you set out and let them know what time you expect to be back. The test is in not getting lost, not in seeing how fast you can go, so always stick together, waiting for slower friends to catch up.
● See if your school or a club organizes orienteering activities, in which you need a map and a compass to find your way. This can be done as a sport, with teams trying to find the way from A to B (and B to C, etc. ) in the fastest time, or simply as a spare-time activity. Either way, it’s not only good fun, but a great way to keep fit.
21. Sitting beside the driver, you should ______.
A. keep looking at the map to find a place to go to
B. move to the back seat if feeling uncomfortable
C. look ahead to see where there’s a turn  
D. direct the driver when necessary
22. Why do you need to tell someone your exploration plan before setting out?
A. To be saved in case of an accident.
B. To get needy information when in danger.
C. To share the fun with him/her in exploration.
D. To tell him/her what’s going on with the group members.
23. Orienteering activities can _______.
A. make people work fast   
B. help people organize other activities
