Churchill War Rooms PHONE＋44 20 7416 5000 The Imperial War Museum is a collection of five museums and sites.One of the collection's most fascination inclusions is the Churchill War Rooms.Walking through the underground labyrinth (迷宫)of war rooms is literally walking in the footsteps of Sir Winston Churchill and his war cabinet during WWⅡ. Natural History Museum PHONE＋44 20 7942 5000 Once the home to African elephant specimens and surprising casts of a Triceratops and Diplodocus，the museum's main hall now floats the real skeleton of a blue whale high above visitors' heads.Though no longer in the entry hall，you can still find dinosaurs here，such as the first fossil ever found from a T．rex. 【语篇解读】　文章是一篇旅游指南，介绍了伦敦最值得去的四大博物馆。 1．Which is the best choice for J．K.Rowling's fans? A．National Portrait Gallery. B．Science Museum. C．Churchill War Rooms. D．Natural History Museum. A　[推理判断题。由National Portrait Gallery部分的“Where else but the National Portrait Gallery can you find oil paintings of the Bronte sisters and William Shakespeare alongside black and white photographs of the Spice Girls and a mixed media portrait of J．K.Rowling? ”可知，只有在National Portrait Gallery人们才能看到the Bronte sisters和William Shakespeare的油画，the Spice Girls 的黑白照片以及 J．K.Rowling的自画像。因此可以判断 J．K.Rowling的粉丝应该选择National Portrait Gallery。故选A项。] 2．What can people do in Science Museum? A．View the arts of the Tudor period. B．Enjoy a film in an IMAX theater. C．Learn about the war history of Britain. D．Watch the skeleton of a blue whale. B　[细节理解题。由Science Museum部分的“With interactive exhibits，flight simulators，an IMAX theater，and even a milkshake bar，a trip to the Science Museum is far from the boring science lessons from back in the day.”可知，Science Museum里面有互动展览、模拟飞行、IMAX剧院甚至还有奶昔吧。到Science Museum的旅行与过去不同，绝对不会让你感觉无聊。B项“在IMAX剧院看电影”是可以在Science Museum实现的。故选B项。] 3．Which number should be called if you're interested in dinosaurs? A．44 20 7306 0055.　　　 B．44 33 3241 4000. C．44 20 7416 5000. D．44 20 7942 5000. D　[细节理解题。由Natural History Museum部分“Though no longer in the entry hall，you can still find dinosaurs here，such as the first fossil ever found from a T．rex.”以及“PHONE＋44 20 7942 5000”可知，你可以在Natural History Museum看到恐龙。所以如果对恐龙感兴趣，要到Natural History Museum，应该拨打44 20 7942 5000。故选D项。] B Nola (August 21，1974—November 22，2015) was a northern white rhino(犀牛)who lived at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park near Escondido，California.At her death，she was one of only four remaining northern white rhinos in the world.The other three lived in Kenya.World Rhino Day，held on September 22，is to raise awareness of the less than 30，000 other rhinos left on Earth. “Rhinos need our help today，not tomorrow，” Nola's lead keeper Jane Kennedy said.“Last year we lost over 1，200 rhinos just in South Africa.If we continue to lose more than 1，000 rhinos a year，in 10 to 20 years all the rhinos on the planet will be gone.” “Unfortunately，most animals are in danger of dying out because of humans，” Kennedy says.“Humans have either poached(偷猎)animals，or because there are over seven billion of us，we've taken up too much of the world's resources.” Poachers illegally hunt rhinos for their horns.They sell the horns for thousands of dollars per pound，to be used for art，jewelry，and decorations.Experts believe that one rhino is poached every eight hours. In 1975，the San Diego Zoo Institute for Conservation Research started the Frozen Zoo，a program through which researchers have collected cell (细胞) samples from more than 8，000 different types of animals，including the northern white rhino.Scientists hope that by studying the rhino cells，they will get greater understanding of it，and will find ways to increase its numbers. Jane Kennedy describes World Rhino Day as “a celebration of rhinos along with an awareness campaign for everybody across the world to know that rhinos need our help.”At the San Diego Zoo，children and adults are welcome to visit and speak with zookeepers to learn about rhinos.But you don' t have to live in San Diego to celebrate World Rhino Day.It is observed around the world，with zoos and wildlife parks holding special events and programs to teach people about rhinos，and enable them to see the animals up close.For more information，go to www.worldrhinoday.org. 【语篇解读】　作者在文章里介绍了白犀牛的数量在急剧减少，与此引出对此类濒危动物的担忧，分析了出现濒危动物的原因并呼吁人们增强动物保护意识。 4．What do we know about Nola? A．It was a baby white rhino. B．It was one of the last of its kind. C．It lived with other northern white rhinos in Kenya. D．It died on September 22 at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park. B　[细节理解题。根据第一段前两句“Nola (August 21，1974—November 22，2015) was a northern white rhino who lived at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park near Escondido，California.At her death，she was one of only four remaining northern white rhinos in the world.”可知Nola是世界上为数不多的仅存的白犀牛之一。故B项正确。] 5．What troubled Jane Kennedy according to paragraph 2? A.The rhinos' strange activities. B．The rhinos' uncertain future. C．The limited natural resources. D．The rare animals in South Africa. B　[推理判断题。根据第二段“‘Rhinos need our help today，not tomorrow，’．..If we continue to lose more than 1，000 rhinos a year，in 10 to 20 years all the rhinos on the planet will be gone.”可知犀牛现在就需要我们的帮助，如果犀牛继续以现在的速度减少。那么很快犀牛就会灭绝了。说明Jane Kennedy对犀牛的未来很担心。故B项正确。] 6．What does the Frozen Zoo aim to do? A．Keep animals from dying out. B．Invent new kinds of animals. C．Prevent rhinos from being hunted. D．Raise public awareness of rhinos. A　[推理判断题。根据第四段第二句“Scientists hope that by studying the rhino cells，they will get greater understanding of it，and will find ways to increase its numbers.”可知科学家希望通过这个项目，研究犀牛等濒危动物的细胞，对这些动物有更深的理解，最终能够阻止这些濒危动物灭绝，增加这些动物的数量。所以the Frozen Zoo的目标是阻止动物灭绝。故A项正确。] 7．What is the main purpose of the last paragraph? A．To help people know more about animals. B．To encourage people to protect animals. C．To report special events in San Diego. D．To introduce World Rhino Day. D　[段落大意题。根据本段第一句“Jane Kennedy describes World Rhino Day as ‘a celebration of rhinos along with an awareness campaign for everybody across the world to know that rhinos need our help.’”可知本段主要介绍了世界犀牛日的有关信息，故D项正确。] C Last week，the United Nations(UN)released the most complete report ever created on the global problem of food waste.It found that the world wastes about 17% of all the food produced.That's about a billion tons of food a year.A billion tons is a lot of food—it's over two trillion pounds or about 931 billion kilograms.The report says that the amount wasted is roughly twice as much as earlier studies have suggested. The report was produced by the UN's Environment Program(UNEP).The study looked at several different ways in which food is wasted－at home，in restaurants and in stores.It turns out that，by far，most food waste－about 61%－happens at home.On average，the amount of food thrown out at home works out to about 163 pounds for each person every year.Restaurants were responsible for about 26% of the food wasted.The remaining 13% was thrown away by stores. One surprising discovery was that food was wasted at about the same rate in all but the poorest countries.Many people thought rich countries were more likely to waste food than countries that were less rich.That turned out not to be true.But people in richer countries may waste less food at home because they are eating out at restaurants more often. In some cases，labels might be causing food waste，the report said.People might be throwing away food even though it's still good to eat，simply because the container's “Best By” or “Sell By” date has passed.In poorer countries，food may be wasted because not all homes have a refrigerator. Why is wasting food such a problem？For one thing，the report points out，hundreds of millions of people went hungry in 2019.Wasting food is also really bad for the planet.Farming creates between 10% and 30% of the world's greenhouse gas emissions(排放).So when food gets thrown out，the pollution is created for nothing.The UNEP report says that it is important for countries to study food waste more carefully in order to figure out ways to solve the problem. 【语篇解读】　联合国发布了对于世界范围内食物浪费问题的完整报告，该报告指出浪费的食物大约是生产食物总量的百分十七，这表明世界浪费食物的总量远比之前研究表明的多。 8．Which of the following is revealed by the report? A．Around 100 million tons of food are wasted every year. B．About a quarter of food produced in the world is wasted. C．Food waste has created the most serious pollution in the world. D．The amount of food wasted globally is much higher than previously thought. D　[细节理解题。根据第一段的“The report says that the amount wasted is roughly twice as much as earlier studies have suggested.”可知该报告指出食物浪费总量是之前研究表明的大约两倍，故D项正确。根据“That's about a billion tons of food a year.”可知A项错；根据“It found that the world wastes about 17% of all the food produced.”可知B项错；根据最后一段内容可知C项错。] 9．Where is the food waste problem most serious，in general? A．At home. B．At stores. C．On farms. D．At restaurants. A　[细节理解题。根据第二段的“It turns out that，by far，most food waste－about 61%－happens at home.”可知大部分的食物浪费发生在家里，A项正确。] 10．What is food waste like in relatively poorer countries? A.The people waste much more food. B．The people waste food at a much lower rate. C．The people waste food just because they lack refrigerators. D．The people waste more food at home due to eating out much less. D　[细节理解题。根据第三段的“...people in richer countries may waste less food at home because they are eating out at restaurants more often.”可知，相对贫穷的国家在家里浪费的食物可能多点，因为在外面吃得少，故D项正确。根据“...food was wasted at about the same rate in all...”可知A、B错误；根据第四段的“In poorer countries，food may be wasted because not all homes have a refrigerator.”可知C项表述太绝对。] 11．What would be a suitable title for the passage? A．The Main Reasons for Food Waste B．The Benefits of Reducing Food Waste C．Food Waste：A Huge Worldwide Problem D．Food Waste：The Problem and the Solutions C　[标题归纳题。本文围绕全球食物浪费问题展开，介绍了其现状、方式、成因及危害，只有C项能概括文章的主要内容，故选C。] D Light pollution is blocking a starry view of the night sky for more than half of people across England，a research has found. Fifty­seven percent of stargazers(观星者)struggled to see more than 10 stars，while just 2% of participants said they experienced a truly dark sky making them be able to count more than 30 according to the research by the Campaign to Protect Rural England (CPRE).People in the countryside were encouraged to count how many stars they could see with eyes within the constellation (星座) of Orion，which is visible only in the winter months. Campaigners said the results of the star count，supported by the British Astronomical Association，showed the problem of light pollution and how it affected one of the countryside's most magical sights—a dark，starry night sky.They said the results of the research to map England's night skies suggested more could be done by the government，local councils and the general public to reduce the negative effects of artificial light from streets and buildings. Emma Marrington，dark skies campaigner at the CPRE，said “We're hugely grateful to the people who took the time to get out and take part in our star count.But it's deeply disappointing that the vast majority were unable to experience the natural wonder of a truly dark sky blanketed with stars.Without any action，our night sky will continue to be lost under a covering of artificial light，ruining the health of the natural world.” She added: “The star count results show just how far­reaching the light from street lights and buildings can be seen.Light doesn't respect boundaries，and careless use can see it spread for miles from cities.” She suggested better­designed lighting，street light dimming(暗淡)systems and part­night lighting where some street lights are turned off during the small hours should provide an opportunity to limit the damage caused by light pollution，reduce carbon emissions and save money. 【语篇解读】　文章讲述光污染带来的危害以及解决方法。 12．What effect does the light pollution bring about to England? A．It leads the stars to disappear. B．It makes the countryside dim. C．It makes the environment terrible. D．It prevents the people seeing stars. D　[细节理解题。根据第一段Light pollution is blocking a starry view of the night sky for more than half of people across England，a research has found.可知，光污染阻止人们看到星星。故选D。] 13．What causes the light pollution according to the text? A．More and more buildings. B．Less and less outdoor activities. C．The overuse of artificial light. D．The spread of light in the countryside. C　[推理判断题。根据第四段最后一句Without any action，our night sky will continue to be lost under a covering of artificial light，ruining the health of the natural world.可知，文章认为，过度使用人造光会造成光污染。故选C。] 14．How does Emma feel about the stargazers' efforts? A.Disappointed. B．Surprised. C．Regretful. D．Appreciative. D　[推理判断题。根据第四段中We're hugely grateful to the people who took the time to get out and take part in our star count.可知，Emma对天文学家的努力是感激的。故选D。] 15．What is Emma's suggestion for dealing with the light pollution? A．Using street lights wisely. B．Turning off lights at night. C．Spreading light further. D．Changing the streets' design. A　[推理判断题。根据最后一段She suggested better­designed lighting，street light dimming systems and part­night lighting where some street lights are turned off during the small hours should provide an opportunity to limit the damage caused by light pollution，reduce carbon emissions and save money.可知，Emma对处理光污染的建议是“明智地使用路灯。”故选A。] 第二节 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Weight is defined as the quantity of matter contained by a body or object. 16 So many girls are struggling with the numbers associated with their body image and it's really sad seeing such beautiful girls become discouraged over a few numbers that don't measure anything of true significance. Yes，it is important to live a healthy lifestyle. 17 Neglecting either your mental or physical health will cause problems for the other.It's very easy to get caught up in the idea that you're too heavy or too thin，which results in your mistreating your body in some way. 18 It harbors all of your thoughts，feelings，characteristics，and ideas.Without it，you wouldn't be you.If you wish to change it in a healthy way，then，by all means，go ahead.With that being said，don't make changes to impress or please someone else. 19 20 You are more than the number on the scale (磅秤).You are more than the number on your jeans and dresses.You are way more than the number of pounds you've gained or lost in whatever amount of time.So，as hard as it may seem sometimes，understand that the number doesn't measure the amount or significance of your contributions to this world.The fact that a dress doesn't fit you like you had hoped doesn't mean that you're any less of a person.

I shouted to the girls，“Get out! The house is on fire！” They turned and ran out the front door，followed by me.Then we ran through the woods to our neighbor's house.I knocked on my neighbor's front door as a police car passed by. Later，I was told that it took the firemen a long time to put out the fire.Standing outside my burned house the next day，I got caught up in lots of questions.I had no cash or bank cards.How was going to pay for anything? Where would we live? What would happen to my house now? I didn't even know where to start.Luckily，our community helped us a lot. The fire burned almost everything，but I still decided to visit our burned house to search through the ruins.It's interesting how you learn what really matters to you in those conditions.I found myself primarily searching for my father's watch.I also found other treasures as I searched for his watch，including the ring my mom gave me when I left for college，a watch my grandmother gave me for high school graduation，and my daughter's unworn dress，which was ruined.I found the last shirt my father had worn before his hospital stay.We had taken a trip after his second course of chemo (化疗).It was the last vacation we would take before his death.At that moment，I felt differently about the fire. 注意：1.续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式作答。 I realized the fire gave us more than it took away.
