"While reading, I couldn't stop thinking of my 16 . of Stonehenge last summer when my family went to the UK. It is one of the most wonderful experiences I've ever had. Stonehenge is a 17 stone group made up of a large number of heavy stones. It is said that they were put together almost 5, 000 years ago. It took us about two hours to get there from London by bus. When we 18 there at about 10 a. m. , visitors of all ages had already begun their trips. I could not wait to join them. Some men 19 uniforms guided us to walk along the paths around the large stone monuments(石碑). Walking along them, I felt like stepping back 5, 000 years. I 20 each stone might weigh several tons. Looking at them in amazement, I wanted to know how ancient people could make those large stones stand without the help of modern 21 . Questions came into my mind: Why did they build Stonehenge? How long did it take them to build it? I could not 22 how many people worked together to build these monuments. The true purpose of building Stonchenge may remain a mystery. But its 23 to attract and encourage people has lasted for thousands of years. Without great teamwork, Stonehenge would never have been built. As we stopped to take pictures, I saw a blonde girl 24 the stone monuments. She was getting inspiration(灵感)from them for her artwork. Stonchenge is a very great place that has amazed people from all over the world for 25 . If you ever get the chance to visit England, take the time to see the great stone monuments for yourself. 16.

Who are they? ● There were about 400, 000 online literature writers by October 2023. ● They are from more than 100 countries and areas. ● 42.3 percent of these writers are the post-00 generation (00 后). What do they write? ● By October 2023, 610, 000 online novels had been written. ● They include 15 different kinds, such as fantasies, wuxia and romance. 36. By October 2023, the number ofpost-00 generation online writers was _____________. A. 100 B. 169, 200 C. 400, 000 D. 610, 000 27. From the reading material, we can know A. male online writers prefer adventure novels B. female online writers like system novels better C. these writers come from 15 different countries D. there are more female online writers than male online writers 28. The reading material above is mainly about _________________. A. online literature writers B. Chinese literature C. different kinds of novels D. differences between writers B Many mountain attractions in China have set up elevators( 电 梯 )so that tourists can enjoy “painless climbing”, meaning they can get to the top without difficulties. What's your opinion on this? Here are some ideas from three students. Wang Hongjie, 17, from Sichuan: For children and old people, the climbing itself is tiring, so tourists may miss some beautiful views and the happy time that they can share with their family. Personally, if my family members need to use the elevator, I would love to meet them on the top of the mountain. It's also helpful to disabled people who have probably never been to the top of a mountain before. Wu Zijing, 15, from Fujian: “Painless climbing” does not make people feel closer-to nature. The elevator is, after all, only a product of the modern society. Indeed, it's easy to use it. However, using an elevator cuts off the connection between people and the natural views around them. When we go to see the mountains, most people go there to enjoy the natural beauty. Elevators stop people from enjoying the views and the experience as a whole. Chen Haoyu, 16, from Guangdong: “Climbing” is described by Oxford English Dictionary as moving somewhere, especially with difficulty or effort, using both hands and feet. According to this, I think the essence of mountain climbing is to climb by yourself. Not only is climbing healthy for us to train our bodies, but it allows us to see beautiful views of nature. This kind of experience will impress us during our journey. Compared with traditional climbing, "painless climbing"can not bring people the sense of achievement after they reach the top of the mountain. It loses the natural meaning and the fun of mountain climbing. 29. According to Wu Zijing, “painless climbing” ___________________. A. stops people from getting closer to nature B. helps the disabled enjoy more natural views C. creates a new product for the modern society D. makes people much healthier and more relaxed 60. The underlined word "essence "in Paragraph 4 means A. good result B. real cause C. final conclusion D. important feature 31. Who supports the idea of “painless climbing”? A. The writer. B. Wu Zijing. C. Chen Haoyu. D. Wang Hongjie. C On February 4, Wang Yujia, 37, became the first Chinese musician to win the Grammy Award for the best classical instrumental solo(独奏奖)category. Wang's special position in the classical music world is marked by her excellent skills. In January 2023, Wang presented a three and a half hours' show in New York, which was described by the New York Times as a "once-in-a-lifetime "musical event Among the four piano concertos (协奏曲)Wang played, Piano Concerto No. 3, known as one of “the hardest concertos”, challenges musicians with all kinds of skills. Cyril Smith from Britain once said that it required the strength of shoveling (铲)10 tons of coal to play the concerto. Moreover, the piece requires the musician to show a great number of feelings and themes including sadness, heroism and happiness. Although there were all the great challenges, Wang didn't find it a problem to complete the music. “There are big physical challenges on the piano, but it is even harder to use special skills to finish the work. That's what is really fun, "Wang told China Daily. The fashionable musician is also known for the bright colours, brave designs of her clothes and wearing 10 cm high heels( 高 跟 鞋 )on the show. This caused many reviews against her in the past, with some saying she wanted to attract people. But Wang is not afraid of being true to herself, saying to The Guardian, “If the music is beautiful and makes people happy, why not dress to fit? It's about power of music. ” She hopes people notice that below the surface is her great love for classical music. “The more I play a concerto, the more to be found. It's like a long-term exploration, "Wang said. 32. The New York Times used the word "once-in-a-lifetime "to tell people ______________. A. the show lasted for a long time B. the show was the best of all times C. one could only have the show once in a lifetime D. Wang Yujia impressed people deeply with her show 33. According to Cyril Smith, ____________________________. A. Piano Concerto No. 3 is the most beautiful concerts B. a musician needs great strength while playing the concerto C. shoveling 10 tons of coal is important before playing the show D. musicians need to communicate with others about the feelings 34. If you are the clothes designer for Wang Yujia, which of the following will you choose for her next show? A. A bright green dress with high heels. B. A dark blue suit with a pair of boots. C. A black dress with a pair of white gloves. D. A traditional sweater with a pair of jeans. 35. Which of the following can best describe Wang Yujia? A. Friendly and confident. B. Modest and helpful. C. Powerful and fashionable. D. Humorous and kind. D “It is especially beautiful. No matter who you are or what your age is, seeing something so fantastic is truly attractive, "said Jin Huilin, who was attracted by the rich patterns(花纹)when he saw Yuhua stones for the first time. Nanjing Yuhua stone is a type of water-worn stone mainly found in areas like Nanjing and Yizheng in Jiangsu Province. It is known for its smooth texture (质地), bright colours and rich patterns. Bccause Yuhua stones are often got from mines( 矿 山 ), dry Yuhua stones look plain and grey, hiding their true quality. Jin and his friends visited Luhe mining sites in Nanjing, wearing rubber shoes to collect these stones on rainy days. Rain made the stones' detailed patterns clearer. “It's better to carry a bottle of water on dry days to pour on the surface of the stones. Sometimes you can find something surprising, ” Jin said. According to Jin, appreciating( 欣赏) stones starts with their outer qualities like texture, colour, and patterns. ① However, “real appreciation of the stones requires cultural knowledge; otherwise, they might seem like just pieces of colour, " said Jin. With cultural knowledge and imagination, people could see different patterns, such as trees, mountains, or flowers. “ ② The stones a person chooses as their favourites can show their cultural awareness, "Jin added. Watching patterns of stones in the water is not the only way to appreciate stones. Jin also mentioned other ways. ③ He gave some examples. “Some people enjoy holding stones in their hands, appreciating their special textures, or using strong light to discover hidden patterns that are even more beautiful. Others choose to put the stones on the desk, inviting guests to appreciate the stones from different positions, "said Jin. ④ For Jin, stone watching brings joy and something fresh to his life. “Some people like to have lively pets while I prefer stones for their lasting nature, ”Jin added. 36. The writer begins this article by _______________. A. explaining an idea B. showing the reasons C. comparing differences D. telling someone's opinion 37. Jin suggests carrying a bottle of water when collecting stones on dry days because A. water can bring people good luck B. stones can avoid being polluted with water C. water can help find the stones' true quality D. the weather makes people feel thirsty easily 38. The sentence “So, watching stones is, in some ways, watching oneself. ”most probably comes from _________________. A. ① B. ② C. ③ D. ④ 39. What can we know about Yuhua stones from the passage? A. Their true quality can be found easily on the surface. B. They can be found in most cities in Jiangsu Province. C. There are different patterns like mountains and flowers in them. D. The textures are seen more clearly in the water than with strong light. 40. What is the best title for the passage? A. Pieces of Colour B. Magic from Mines C. Stone Appreciation in Water D.
