Drive from Moshi to Lake Manyara.可知第一天：参观莫什。从Moshi开车到Manyara湖。以及Moshi部分中Moshi is a city lying near the parks and conservation areas offering views of Kilimanjaro, the highest mountain in Africa.可知Moshi位于公园和保护区附近，从这里可以看到非洲最高的山乞力马扎罗山。由此可知，游客在第一天可以欣赏到非洲最高山的景色。故选A。 【2题详解】 推理判断题。根据Serengeti National Park部分中Equal in size to Northern Ireland, the park contains about three million large animals, most of which join in a seasonal migration(迁徙), one of nature's wonders.可知公园面积与北爱尔兰相当，容纳了大约300万只大型动物，其中大多数都是季节性迁徙，这是大自然的奇迹之一。由此可推断，提到北爱尔兰是为了表明Serengeti国家公园很大。故选D。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中We suggest limiting your extra clothing and other things to one suitcase per person.可知我们建议限制你的额外衣服和其他物品，每人只带一个行李箱。由此可知，游客应该避免携带太多行李。故选C。 B When I suggested my 13-year-old try tennis, she quickly shot me down. “I’m not sporty , so stop trying to get me to do sports,” Julianna said. I suggested it because some of my recent happiest memories were of playing ping-pong with her. Tennis seemed like a natural progression from ping-pong and a great way to work out some of her growing teen worries on a larger playing field. But my suggestion was always met with resistance. Still, I was undeterred. I was convinced that releasing some physical energy would help Julianna. I’ve seen how sports help deal with stress. It worked for me when I was a teenage girl. Midway through summer, we stayed at home one afternoon, really bored. “Do you want to play tennis?” I asked. “Sure,” she said. Arriving at the court, we set down our bags, picked up our rackets (球拍), and headed towards our sides of the court. The net felt like the visual representation of a growing divide between us I desiring a connection and my teenage daughter longing for independence. I started by hitting a ball over the net, and Julianna took a big swing and missed. We repeated this several more times. I resisted the urge to tell her she was holding the racket too close to the neck or to step more into her forehand. We just repeated the pattern of me hitting the ball and her missing it a few times before she finally got it back over the net. “This is fun,” she said with a mixture of surprise and joy and then she smiled widely. Now we always find time to play tennis. We’re both eager for an activity that can ease tensions between us in daily life. It’s nice to have a place where both of us can release our negative feelings and let them go. 4. Why did the author advise Julianna to try tennis? A. To bring back good memories. B. To help manage her emotions. C. To bridge the divide between them. D. To work off her physical energy. 5. What does the underlined word “undeterred” mean in paragraph 2? A. Undiscouraged. B. Unworried. C. Unsuccessful. D. Unsurprised. 6. What did the author do during the tennis practice? A. She taught Julianna to hit forehands. B. She instructed Julianna in a patient way. C. She let Julianna figure things out herself. D. She made Julianna miss the ball on purpose. 7. Which can be the best title for the text? A. A Wonderful Tennis Mom B. A Special Mother-Child Bond C. Happiness Achieved in Sports D. Peace Found on the Tennis Court 【答案】4. B 5. A 6. C 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者和女儿通过打网球缓和了彼此之间的关系的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“I suggested it because some of my recent happiest memories were of playing ping-pong with her. Tennis seemed like a natural progression from ping-pong and a great way to work out some of her growing teen worries on a larger playing field.(我之所以提出这个建议，是因为我最近最快乐的回忆就是和她打乒乓球。网球似乎是乒乓球的自然发展，也是她在更大的运动场上解决一些日益增长的青少年的烦恼的好方法)”可知，作者建议Julianna尝试网球是因为这项运动有助于管理情绪。故选B项。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段中“But my suggestion was always met with resistance.(但我的建议总是遭到抵制)”可知，作者建议Julianna尝试网球的建议总是遭到拒绝，结合下文“I was convinced that releasing some physical energy would help Julianna. I’ve seen how sports help deal with stress.(我确信释放一些精力能帮助朱莉安娜。我见识过运动是如何缓解压力的)”可推知，虽然遭到拒绝，但是作者仍然认为网球能帮助到女儿。所以“Still, I was undeterred.(不过，我没有undeterred)”是指作者并没有放弃。undeterred与undiscouraged同义，指“不气馁的”。故选A项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“I resisted the urge to tell her she was holding the racket too close to the neck or to step more into her forehand. We just repeated the pattern of me hitting the ball and her missing it a few times before she finally got it back over the net.(我忍住了告诉她球拍握得离脖子太近，或者在正手击球的时候要前进一步。我们只是重复了我击球的模式，她错过了几次，然后她终于把球打过了网)”可知，在练习中，作者忍住了指导女儿的冲动，反而是让她自己去解决问题。故选C项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第三段中的“The net felt like the visual representation of a growing divide between us I desiring a connection and my teenage daughter longing for independence.(我渴望联系，而我十几岁的女儿渴望独立，球网就像是我们之间越来越大的鸿沟的视觉表现)”及最后一段中的“We’re both eager for an activity that can ease tensions between us in daily life. It’s nice to have a place where both of us can release our negative feelings and let them go.(我们都渴望一项活动，可以缓解我们在日常生活中的紧张关系。能有个地方让我们俩都能释放负面情绪，让它们散去，真好)”可知，本文主要讲述了作者和女儿通过打网球缓和了彼此之间的关系的故事。在打球的过程中作者让女儿独立探索，使女儿从中找到了乐趣，作者也通过这种方式缓和了与女儿之间的关系，找回了平静。由此可知，“Peace Found on the Tennis Court(在网球场上找到平静)”是文章最佳标题。故选D项。 C The xiao, a traditional vertical bamboo flute (长笛), is now attracting more and more attention with its long history and rich cultural meanings. In ancient China, bamboo symbolize integrity and the spirit of striving to make progress. So, many used it to refer to their pursuits in poems. For example, the poet Su Shi once wrote, “Better to eat without meat than live without bamboo”, suggesting the importance of bamboo. Therefore, the xiao, made of bamboo, was much more than any instrument, but something the ancient literati often reminded themselves of their pursuits. As a xiao player, Shen Yingbiao spend much time learning to play the instrument and teach others, And now is still working to promote the instrument and its culture. “Since the Tang dynasty, the xiao was often used in gatherings of the educated. It was so popular,” says Shen. “But the instrument kept its unique attractiveness, which paved the way for it to be revived. It produces heavenly music, which agrees with traditional Chinese aesthetic idea, ‘the greatest music has the faintest notes.’.” In Shen’s view, compared with others, the xiao is an extremely simple instrument. Since it is so simple that you can hardly make any changes on it, you can only change yourself to make your music performance better and better. 8. Why is SuShi’s poem mentioned in the second paragraph? A To prize the bamboo spirit of striving to make progress. B. To show the influence of bamboo on chinese poetry. C. To imply Su Shi’s talent in writing poems about bamboo. D. To prove the significance of bamboo in ancient Chinese scholars. 9. Why can the xiao be revived according to paragraph 4? A. Because it can produce wonderful music. B. Because it is popular among the educated. C. Because it is easy to match with popular instruments. D. Because its faint notes suit the traditional Chinese artistic idea. 10. What quality does the better xiao player need? A. Flexibility. B. Persistence. C. Patience. D. Carefulness. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. Shen Yingbao, A Well-Known Xiao Player。 B. The Xiao, A Musical Instruments for Poets. C. The Xiao, Sound of The Past, Note for The Future. D. What Makes the Xiao A Special Musical Instrument? 【答案】8. D 9. D 10. A 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章围绕中国传统乐器“箫”展开，介绍了箫的历史、文化意义、在古代诗歌中的象征意义、其在文人雅士中的地位、现代演奏者对其的推广以及箫作为乐器的独特性。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“In ancient China, bamboo symbolize integrity and the spirit of striving to make progress. So, many used it to refer to their pursuits in poems. For example, the poet SuShi once wrote, “Better to eat without meat than live without bamboo”, suggesting the importance of bamboo.(在中国古代，竹子象征着正直和拼搏进取的精神。因此，许多人用它来指代他们在诗歌中的追求。例如，诗人苏轼曾写道：“宁可食无肉,不可居无竹”，暗示了竹子的重要性。)”可知，文中首先指出在中国古代，竹子象征着正直和拼搏进取的精神，许多人在诗歌中用它来指代他们的追求，作者引用苏轼的诗是为了证明竹子在古代中国学者中的重要性。故选D。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段““Since the Tang dynasty, the xiao was often used in gatherings of the educated. It was so popular,” says Shen. “But the instrument kept its unique attractiveness, which paved the way for it to be revived. It produces heavenly music, which agrees with traditional Chinese aesthetic idea, ‘the greatest music has the faintest notes.’.”(从唐朝开始，“箫”就经常用于有教养的人的聚会。它非常受欢迎，”沈说。“但这种乐器保持了它独特的吸引力，这为它的复兴铺平了道路。它产生了天堂般的音乐，这符合中国传统的审美观念，‘最伟大的音乐是最微弱的音符’。”)”可知，箫保持了它独特的吸引力，它的微弱音符产生了天堂般的音乐，符合中国传统的审美观念；由此可知，箫能够复兴的原因是因为它产生的微弱音符符合中国传统的美学观念。故选D。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Since it is so simple that you can hardly make any changes on it, you can only change yourself to make your music performance better and better.(因为它是如此简单，你几乎不能做任何改变，你只能改变自己，使你的音乐表演越来越好。)”可知，箫是一个非常简单的乐器，几乎不能对其进行任何改变，所以演奏者只能通过改变自己来使演奏变得更好。这里暗示了演奏者需要具有灵活性，能够适应并调整自己的演奏方式以达到更好的效果。故选A。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“The xiao, a traditional vertical bamboo flute(长笛), is now attracting more and more attention with its long history and rich cultural meanings.(箫，一种传统的垂直竹笛，以其悠久的历史和丰富的文化内涵吸引了越来越多的关注。)”以及全文内容可知，文章不仅介绍了箫这种传统乐器的历史和文化意义，还探讨了它在现代社会的复兴和发展。C选项“The Xiao, Sound of The Past, Note for The Future.(箫，过去的声音，未来的音符。)”能够概括文章主旨，为最佳标题。故选C。 D Scientists have created the first full-sized digital model of the Titanic. The model will allow scientists to study the Titanic in ways that have never been possible before. The Titanic sank in the Atlantic Ocean in 1912. It was the largest ship of its time, and was thought to be unable to go down below the surface of water. But four days after it left Southampton, England, the Titanic hit an iceberg (冰山) and sank early the next day, killing some 1,500 people. The sinking is one of the most famous disasters in history. The Titanic broke into two pieces, and sank to the sea floor, about 3.8 kilometers below the surface of the ocean. The location of the wreck (沉船) wasn’t discovered until 1985. Since then, many research teams have visited the site with undersea robots, whose trips have resulted in lots of pictures and videos of the wreck. But even these only allow scientists to study one area of the wreck at a time. Now, two companies — an undersea technology company called Magellan and the movie company Atlantic Productions — have created a 3-D model of the Titanic by sending two undersea robots down to the Titanic. The robots recorded both of the main pieces of the Titanic (the front and the back), as well as other hits of the wreck on the sea floor. Over six weeks, they took high-quality videos and over 715,000 pictures, based on which scientists created the 3-D model of the Titanic. Using it, users will be able to see the ship from all angles. The companies say the 3-D model will help scientists, enabling them to study the Titanic in great detail and study how the Titanic broke down, which could help them learn more about thousands of other shipwrecks also lying on the sea floor. And of course, scientists hope the model will help them better understand what happened when the Titanic sank. 12. What does the author say about the Titanic? A. It was supposedly unsinkable. B. Its sinking is the best-known disaster. C. Its voyage should last for 4 days. D. It tops the list of England's ships in size. 13. What message is conveyed in the third paragraph? A. More studies are encouraged on the Titanic. B. Enthusiasm for the Titanic never fades away. C. The exploration of the Titanic is far from easy. D. New discoveries have been made about the Titanic. 14. Which of the following plays a key role in creating the 3-D model? A. The previous findings about the shipwreck. B. The devotion of the scientists. C. The cooperation between the two companies. D. The complete picture of the wreck. 15. The 3-D model is expected to ___________. A. help rebuild other shipwrecks underwater B. give scientists new insights into the Titanic C. allow the public to fully admire the Titanic D. reproduce the grandness of the large ship 【答案】12. A 13. C 14. D 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍科学家们建造了一个全尺寸的泰坦尼克号3D模型，该模型将有助于科学家以前所未有的方式研究泰坦尼克号。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The Titanic sank in the Atlantic Ocean in 1912. It was the largest ship of its time, and was thought to be unable to go down below the surface of water.(泰坦尼克号于1912年在大西洋沉没。这是当时最大的船，人们认为它无法潜入水面以下)”可知，泰坦尼克号被认为不会下沉，即泰坦尼克号据说是不沉的船。故选A项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“The Titanic broke into two pieces, and sank to the sea floor, about 3.8 kilometers below the surface of the ocean. The location of the wreck (沉船) wasn’t discovered until 1985. Since then, many research teams have visited the site with undersea robots, whose trips have resulted in lots of pictures and videos of the wreck. But even these only allow scientists to study one area of the wreck at a time.(泰坦尼克号断裂成两半，沉入海底，距离海面约3.8公里。残骸的位置直到1985年才被发现。从那以后，许多研究小组带着水下机器人参观了这个地方，这些机器人的旅行产生了大量的残骸照片和视频。但即使这样，科学家一次也只能研究沉船的一个区域)”可知，科学家带着水下机器人潜到海底，一次也只能研究沉船的一个区域，所以研究泰坦尼克号难度很大。故选C项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Now, two companies — an undersea technology company called Magellan and the movie company Atlantic Productions — have created a 3-D model of the Titanic by sending two undersea robots down to the Titanic. The robots recorded both of the main pieces of the Titanic (the front and the back), as well as other hit s of the wreck on the sea floor. Over six weeks, they took high-quality videos and over 715,000pictures, based on which scientists created the 3-D model of the Titanic.(现在，两家公司——一家名为麦哲伦的海底科技公司和一家名为大西洋制作的电影公司——通过向泰坦尼克号发射两个海底机器人，创造了一个泰坦尼克号的3D模型。机器人记录了泰坦尼克号的两个主要部分（前部和后部），以及沉船在海底的其他撞击。在六周的时间里，他们拍摄了高质量的视频和71.5万多张照片，科学家们在此基础上创建了泰坦尼克号的3D模型)”可知，机器人记录了泰坦尼克号的全貌，拍摄了高质量的视频和超过71.5万张照片，科学家们以这些为基础，创建了泰坦尼克号的3D模型。由此可知，水下机器人收集的泰坦尼克号全貌信息对创建3D模型至关重要。故选D项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The companies say the 3-D model will help scientists, enabling them to study the Titanic in great detail and study how the Titanic broke down, which could help them learn more about thousands of other shipwrecks also lying on the sea floor. And of course, scientists hope the model will help them better understand what happened when the Titanic sank.(两家公司表示，3D模型将帮助科学家，使他们能够非常详细地研究泰坦尼克号，并研究泰坦尼克号是如何分解的，这可以帮助他们更多地了解海底其他数千艘沉船。当然，科学家们希望这个模型能帮助他们更好地了解泰坦尼克号沉没时发生了什么。)”可知，这两家公司称3D模型能帮助科学家们，让他们能够仔细地研究泰坦尼克号，调查泰坦尼克号是怎么出故障的，并帮助他们更好地了解泰坦尼克号沉没时发生了什么。由此可知，3D模型将使科学家们对泰坦尼克号有新的、深入的了解。故选B项。 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。 How to age gracefully?

At her old school, she used to play with her friends. Now she sat alone in the corner of the field and watched the other kids play. The only thing Lisa liked about her new school was art. She hadn’t had art classes at her old school, but here they lasted a whole hour. During the art classes, Lisa forgot that she didn’t have friends here. When clearing her table, Lisa noticed a box of chalk by the window. She put it in her pocket. Then she took her usual place at the end of the line. As she and her classmates walked down the hall and out into the playground, Lisa remembered how she and her mother used to draw chalk designs on the long drive way leading to their old apartment. The patterns are called rangoli, a traditional Indian decoration, and they look like stars and roses. Lisa’s mother said the drawings were to welcome guests to their home. Lisa missed the times. Lisa walked to the basketball court and sat on the sidelines. She took the chalk out and began to draw her favorite rangoli pattern with huge petals and stars with eight points. “That’s pretty,” a voice said. She turned around and saw that Eric, a boy in her class, was watching her. “It’s called rangoli,” she said. “The floor of my grandmother’s house has pattens like that,” Erie said. “What do you mean?” Lisa asked. “Hand me a piece of chalk,” Eric said. Eric sat down and began to draw. He drew flowers that were more detailed than Lisa’s, but still had huge petals. Then he drew circles inside circles, and surrounded them with small diamonds. Lisa kept drawing too. “What are you guys doing?” a voice asked. Lisa and Eric had been so absorbed in drawing that the hadn’t noticed their classmate Emma had been watching them. “Hey,’ Emma said, sitting down beside them, “that looks like the rugs in my house. Except on the rugs, the shapes are bigger and flatter.” 注意： 1. 续写词数应为 150 左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 “Show us,” said Eric, handing Emma a piece of chalk. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Hearing the teacher’s praise, many students gathered around. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文： “Show us,” said Eric, handing Emma a piece of chalk. Emma took the chalk and began drawing. She drew shapes that were full of straight lines and bright colors. They were bigger than the shapes Lisa and Eric had drawn, covering each other to form new shapes. She colored the drawings purple, blue, and white. “Wow!” the art teacher showed up and said. “It’s beautiful.” The three students stood up and looked at what they had done, their heart swelling with pride. Hearing the teacher’s praise, many students gathered around. They made various comments, varying from the universe with planets and stars to a coral reef full of fish. Finally the teacher asked for Lisa’s opinion. Glancing at Eric and Emma, whose knees, elbows, and fingers were covered in colorful chalk dust, she beamed sweetly and said, “It looks like home.” “I think so. Why don’t you enlarge the home together?” At their teacher’s words, the students joined in the painting cheerfully, joy permeating the air of the court. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了丽莎在新学校感到孤独，对新学校唯一喜欢的就是艺术。在美术课上，丽莎忘记了她在这里没有朋友。某天，她走到篮球场，坐在场边。她拿出粉笔，开始画她最喜欢的rangoli图案，男孩埃里克被吸引，两人也成为了朋友。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“‘给我们看看。’埃里克说着，递给艾玛一支粉笔”可知，第一段可描写艾玛作画的经过，三人一起画画吸引了老师。 ②由第二段首句内容“听到老师的表扬，许多学生围了过来”可知，第二段可描写围过来围观的学生的反应以及评价。 2.续写线索：艾玛作画——三人自豪——老师表扬——同学围观——气氛欢乐 3.词汇激活 行为类 充满：be full of /be filled with 出现：show up/appear 看：glance at/stare at 情绪类 美丽：beautiful /pretty 快乐：joy /happiness 【点睛】[高分句型1] They were bigger than the shapes Lisa and Eric had drawn, covering each other to form new shapes.

B When I suggested my 13-year-old try tennis, she quickly shot me down. “I’m not sporty , so stop trying to get me to do sports,” Julianna said. I suggested it because some of my recent happiest memories were of playing ping-pong with her. Tennis seemed like a natural progression from ping-pong and a great way to work out some of her growing teen worries on a larger playing field. But my suggestion was always met with resistance. Still, I was undeterred. I was convinced that releasing some physical energy would help Julianna. I’ve seen how sports help deal with stress. It worked for me when I was a teenage girl. Midway through summer, we stayed at home one afternoon, really bored. “Do you want to play tennis?” I asked. “Sure,” she said. Arriving at the court, we set down our bags, picked up our rackets (球拍), and headed towards our sides of the court. The net felt like the visual representation of a growing divide between us I desiring a connection and my teenage daughter longing for independence. I started by hitting a ball over the net, and Julianna took a big swing and missed. We repeated this several more times. I resisted the urge to tell her she was holding the racket too close to the neck or to step more into her forehand. We just repeated the pattern of me hitting the ball and her missing it a few times before she finally got it back over the net. “This is fun,” she said with a mixture of surprise and joy and then she smiled widely. Now we always find time to play tennis. We’re both eager for an activity that can ease tensions between us in daily life. It’s nice to have a place where both of us can release our negative feelings and let them go. 4. Why did the author advise Julianna to try tennis? A. To bring back good memories. B. To help manage her emotions. C. To bridge the divide between them. D. To work off her physical energy. 5. What does the underlined word “undeterred” mean in paragraph 2? A. Undiscouraged. B. Unworried. C. Unsuccessful. D. Unsurprised. 6. What did the author do during the tennis practice? A. She taught Julianna to hit forehands. B. She instructed Julianna in a patient way. C. She let Julianna figure things out herself. D. She made Julianna miss the ball on purpose. 7. Which can be the best title for the text? A. A Wonderful Tennis Mom B. A Special Mother-Child Bond C. Happiness Achieved in Sports D. Peace Found on the Tennis Court C The xiao, a traditional vertical bamboo flute (长笛), is now attracting more and more attention with its long history and rich cultural meanings. In ancient China, bamboo symbolize integrity and the spirit of striving to make progress. So, many used it to refer to their pursuits in poems. For example, the poet Su Shi once wrote, “Better to eat without meat than live without bamboo”, suggesting the importance of bamboo. Therefore, the xiao, made of bamboo, was much more than any instrument, but something the ancient literati often reminded themselves of their pursuits. As a xiao player, Shen Yingbiao spend much time learning to play the instrument and teach others, And now is still working to promote the instrument and its culture. “Since the Tang dynasty, the xiao was often used in gatherings of the educated. It was so popular,” says Shen. “But the instrument kept its unique attractiveness, which paved the way for it to be revived. It produces heavenly music, which agrees with traditional Chinese aesthetic idea, ‘the greatest music has the faintest notes.’.” In Shen’s view, compared with others, the xiao is an extremely simple instrument. Since it is so simple that you can hardly make any changes on it, you can only change yourself to make your music performance better and better. 8. Why is SuShi’s poem mentioned in the second paragraph? A. To prize the bamboo spirit of striving to make progress. B. To show the influence of bamboo on chinese poetry. C. To imply Su Shi’s talent in writing poems about bamboo. D. To prove the significance of bamboo in ancient Chinese scholars. 9. Why can the xiao be revived according to paragraph 4? A. Because it can produce wonderful music. B. Because it is popular among the educated. C. Because it is easy to match with popular instruments. D. Because its faint notes suit the traditional Chinese artistic idea. 10. What quality does the better xiao player need? A. Flexibility. B. Persistence. C. Patience. D. Carefulness. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. Shen Yingbao, A Well-Known Xiao Player B. The Xiao, A Musical Instruments for Poets. C. The Xiao, Sound of The Past, Note for The Future. D. What Makes the Xiao A Special Musical Instrument? D Scientists have created the first full-sized digital model of the Titanic. The model will allow scientists to study the Titanic in ways that have never been possible before. The Titanic sank in the Atlantic Ocean in 1912. It was the largest ship of its time, and was thought to be unable to go down below the surface of water. But four days after it left Southampton, England, the Titanic hit an iceberg (冰山) and sank early the next day, killing some 1,500 people. The sinking is one of the most famous disasters in history. The Titanic broke into two pieces, and sank to the sea floor, about 3.8 kilometers below the surface of the ocean. The location of the wreck (沉船) wasn’t discovered until 1985. Since then, many research teams have visited the site with undersea robots, whose trips have resulted in lots of pictures and videos of the wreck. But even these only allow scientists to study one area of the wreck at a time. Now, two companies — an undersea technology company called Magellan and the movie company Atlantic Productions — have created a 3-D model of the Titanic by sending two undersea robots down to the Titanic. The robots recorded both of the main pieces of the Titanic (the front and the back), as well as other hits of the wreck on the sea floor. Over six weeks, they took high-quality videos and over 715,000 pictures, based on which scientists created the 3-D model of the Titanic. Using it, users will be able to see the ship from all angles. The companies say the 3-D model will help scientists, enabling them to study the Titanic in great detail and study how the Titanic broke down, which could help them learn more about thousands of other shipwrecks also lying on the sea floor. And of course, scientists hope the model will help them better understand what happened when the Titanic sank. 12. What does the author say about the Titanic? A. It was supposedly unsinkable. B. Its sinking is the best-known disaster. C. Its voyage should last for 4 days. D. It tops the list of England's ships in size. 13. What message is conveyed in the third paragraph? A. More studies are encouraged on the Titanic. B. Enthusiasm for the Titanic never fades away. C. The exploration of the Titanic is far from easy. D. New discoveries have been made about the Titanic. 14. Which of the following plays a key role in creating the 3-D model? A. The previous findings about the shipwreck. B. The devotion of the scientists. C. The cooperation between the two companies. D. The complete picture of the wreck. 15. The 3-D model is expected to ___________. A. help rebuild other shipwrecks underwater B. give scientists new insights into the Titanic C. allow the public to fully admire the Titanic D. reproduce the grandness of the large ship 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。 How to age gracefully?

At her old school, she used to play with her friends. Now she sat alone in the corner of the field and watched the other kids play. The only thing Lisa liked about her new school was art. She hadn’t had art classes at her old school, but here they lasted a whole hour. During the art classes, Lisa forgot that she didn’t have friends here. When clearing her table, Lisa noticed a box of chalk by the window. She put it in her pocket. Then she took her usual place at the end of the line. As she and her classmates walked down the hall and out into the playground, Lisa remembered how she and her mother used to draw chalk designs on the long drive way leading to their old apartment. The patterns are called rangoli, a traditional Indian decoration, and they look like stars and roses. Lisa’s mother said the drawings were to welcome guests to their home. Lisa missed the times. Lisa walked to the basketball court and sat on the sidelines. She took the chalk out and began to draw her favorite rangoli pattern with huge petals and stars with eight points. “That’s pretty,” a voice said. She turned around and saw that Eric, a boy in her class, was watching her. “It’s called rangoli,” she said. “The floor of my grandmother’s house has pattens like that,” Erie said. “What do you mean?” Lisa asked. “Hand me a piece of chalk,” Eric said. Eric sat down and began to draw. He drew flowers that were more detailed than Lisa’s, but still had huge petals. Then he drew circles inside circles, and surrounded them with small diamonds. Lisa kept drawing too. “What are you guys doing?” a voice asked. Lisa and Eric had been so absorbed in drawing that the hadn’t noticed their classmate Emma had been watching them. “Hey,’ Emma said, sitting down beside them, “that looks like the rugs in my house. Except on the rugs, the shapes are bigger and flatter.” 注意： 1. 续写词数应为 150 左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 “Show us,” said Eric, handing Emma a piece of chalk. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Hearing the teacher’s praise, many students gathered around. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
