Annie Katsura Rollins, who is based in Toronto and researching Chinese shadow puppetry, has spent years developing expertise (专业技能) in Chinese shadow puppetry and making great efforts to help it survive a battle with cultural changes, urbanization, and modern forms of entertainment. “There’s an antediluvial understanding of what tradition is,” says Rollins.“We think it’s old and what once was. Actually, traditions are always changing in history and we just fail to witness it. To survive, the tradition needs to be with the present and be looking toward the future.” Rollins was in charge of the exhibition “Immaterial Remains: Can You Preserve a Shadow?”, which aimed to not only display the art form but also focus on the question of how to preserve shadow puppetry in China. In the exhibition, the finely carved details of clothing, facial features, and hair were obvious in the shadows of the puppets, which were in motion as air flowed, bringing them to life on the walls. Samples of the dried cowhide (牛皮) used to make the puppets were available for visitors to touch and feel. A video demonstrated how the puppets are made and operated. Rollins notes, “If you can eat with chopsticks, you too can work a shadow puppet.” She says the years she spent learning from master puppeteers in small villages remain the best way to carry on the traditions of Chinese shadow puppetry into the future, which she describes as practitioner-led (由从业者主导的) creativity. “I think that is the key to really keeping the form growing, developing, and relevant to current society and culture,” Rollins says. “We need to emphasize the live performance as a method of preservation so that every time it’s performed, it’s being continued in its original form rather than in pictures or videos. Those things only show part of what a live performance is.” 1. What is one thing that Rollins has devoted herself to for years? A. Digging into Chinese shadow puppetry. B. Promoting changes in cultural dynamics C. Holding exhibitions to preserve Chinese shadow puppetry. D. Introducing modern forms of entertainment into city life 2. What does the underlined word “antediluvial” in paragraph 2mean? A Old- fashioned. B. Comprehensive. C. Flexible. D. Valuable 3. What is the purpose of the exhibition mentioned in paragraph 3? A. To demonstrate the popularity of Chinese shadow puppetry. B. To show various stories presented by Chinese shadow puppetry. C. To highlight the historical significance of Chinese shadow puppetry. D. To explore effective strategies to preserve Chinese shadow puppetry. 4. What is Rollins’ advice on preserving the traditions of Chinese shadow puppetry? A Showing the puppets in exhibitions and museums. B. Setting up workshops and modernizing traditional puppetry. C. Learning from masters and providing live performances. D. Documenting the performances through pictures and videos. 【答案】1. A 2. A 3. D 4. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲Annie Katsura Rollins多年来一直致力于发展中国皮影艺术。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第一段“Annie Katsura Rollins, who is based in Toronto and researching Chinese shadow puppetry, has spent years developing expertise (专业技能) in Chinese shadow puppetry and making great efforts to help it survive a battle with cultural changes, urbanization, and modern forms of entertainment.(Annie Katsura Rollins常驻多伦多，研究中国皮影戏，多年来一直致力于发展中国皮影艺术的专业知识，并努力帮助其在文化变革、城市化和现代娱乐形式的斗争中生存下来。)”可知，Rollins多年来一直致力于研究中国皮影戏。故选A项。 【2题详解】 词句猜测题。由文章第二段“We think it’s old and what once was. Actually, traditions are always changing in history and we just fail to witness it. To survive, the tradition needs to be with the present and be looking toward the future.(我们认为它很古老，曾经是什么。事实上，传统在历史上总是在变化，我们只是没有看到它。为了生存，传统需要与现在同在，面向未来。)”可知，认为传统很古老并一成不变是大家对它的一种“过时”理解。所以猜测antediluvial表“老式的，过时的”意思。故选A项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第三段“Rollins was in charge of the exhibition‘Immaterial Remains: Can You Preserve a Shadow?’, which aimed to not only display the art form but also focus on the question of how to preserve shadow puppetry in China. (Rollins负责展览‘Immaterial Remains: Can You Preserve a Shadow?’，其目的不仅是展示皮影戏的艺术形式，而且关注如何在中国保护皮影戏。)”可知，展览的目的是探索保护中国皮影戏的有效策略。故选D项。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。由文章最后一段“She says the years she spent learning from master puppeteers in small villages remain the best way to carry on the traditions of Chinese shadow puppetry into the future, which she describes as practitioner-led (由从业者主导的) creativity.(她说，她在小村庄向木偶大师学习的这些年仍然是将中国皮影戏传统传承到未来的最佳方式，她将其描述为从业者主导的创造力。)”以及“We need to emphasize the live performance as a method of preservation so that every time it’s performed, it’s being continued in its original form rather than in pictures or videos. Those things only show part of what a live performance is.(我们需要强调现场表演是一种保存方法，这样每次表演时，它都会以原始形式继续，而不是以图片或视频的形式。这些只是现场表演的一部分。)”可知，Rollins建议向大师学习，并提供现场表演来保护中国皮影戏的传统。故选C项。 B Every morning, crowds of London commuters (通勤者) walk heavily through the underground and cyclists race beside the noisy traffic. Meanwhile I’ve been peacefully paddling (用浆划) up the Thames to work in Kevin, my inflatable kayak (充气皮划艇). Even if the weather is terrible, it’s still hugely enjoyable to disconnect from the London bustle (喧嚣). I usually blow Kevin up the night before so that in the morning I can jump straight in and paddle to the city from my home in Putney. I row along the south bank. It’s a busy river, and fairly fast flowing. I’ve had several near misses with bridges. There’s no GPS needed. I just carry a marine radio, my mobile phone, wall et and suit. I row to the Houses of Parliament and then reach the shore at the steps near Cannon Street and, balancing Kevin on my head, walk through the city. The idea of kayaking to work came from a fundraising event that I did last year on the Thames. Twelve mates and I got into blow-up kayaks and paddled along stopping at various places to raise money. I then realized I could use the inflatable kayak to get to work: what a way to turn a fairly tiring journey into the best part of the day! I started loving my commute! My mornings with Kevin are drawing to a close, though, as I’m escaping for an adventure in June. With my fellow adventurer, I am kayaking from Greenland to Iceland. I think a spell in the great outdoors is very humbling. In London everything is so easy. It rains and you put up an umbrella; you’re hungry and you buy something from a shop. Only when you’ re out in the wild can you realize how little control over your life you really have. 5. What does the author think about commuting by inflatable kayak? A. It is time-consuming. B. It is risky in bad weather. C. It helps him save money. D. It gives him pleasure. 6. What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A. How the author commutes in his kayak. B. An introduction to kayaking in London. C. A description of the author’s outdoor experience. D. What difficulties the author encounters on his way to work. 7. What made the author come up with the idea of commuting in a kayak? A. A fundraising experience. B. A tiring commuting journey. C. A piece of advice from his fellow adventurer. D. A kayaking trip from Greenland to Iceland. 8. What does the author want to express in the last paragraph? A. Staying outdoors improves people’s overall health. B. People in cities have little chance to interact with nature. C. Everyone should know the essential skills to survive in the wild. D. Spending time in nature inspires people to be respectful of nature. 【答案】5. D 6. A 7. A 8. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了作者通过皮划艇通勤的经历和对自然的敬畏。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段的“Meanwhile I’ve been peacefully paddling (用浆划) up the Thames to work in Kevin, my inflatable kayak (充气皮划艇). Even if the weather is terrible, it’s still hugely enjoyable to disconnect from the London bustle (喧嚣).(与此同时，我一直在平静地沿着泰晤士河划桨，在我的充气皮划艇凯文号上工作。即使天气很糟糕，远离伦敦的喧嚣仍然是一件非常愉快的事情)”可知，作者对用充气皮划艇通勤感到愉快。故选D。 【6题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段的“I usually blow Kevin up the night before so that in the morning I can jump straight in and paddle to the city from my home in Putney. I row along the south bank. It’s a busy river, and fairly fast flowing. I’ve had several near misses with bridges. There’s no GPS needed. I just carry a marine radio, my mobile phone, wall et and suit. I row to the Houses of Parliament and then reach the shore at the steps near Cannon Street and, balancing Kevin on my head, walk through the city.(我通常会在前一天晚上给凯文充气，这样第二天早上我就可以直接从家门出发，从普特尼划船到城里。我沿着南岸行进。这条河很繁忙，水流也相当快。我曾几次差点在桥下发生碰撞。不需要GPS导航。我只带一部海上无线电、我的手机、钱包和一套衣物。我划到议会大厦，然后在靠近坎农街的台阶处靠岸，并且把凯文平衡地放在头上，穿过城市)”可知，第二段讲述了作者如何使用充气皮划艇来通勤的细节。故选A。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段的“The idea of kayaking to work came from a fundraising event that I did last year on the Thames.(皮划艇上班的想法来自我去年在泰晤士河上做的一次筹款活动)”可知，作者是通过一次筹款活动想出了用皮划艇通勤的主意。故选A。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段的“I think a spell in the great outdoors is very humbling. In London everything is so easy. It rains and you put up an umbrella; you’re hungry and you buy something from a shop. Only when you’ re out in the wild can you realize how little control over your life you really have.(我认为在大自然中待一段时间是非常令人谦卑的。在伦敦，一切都很方便。下雨了，你就撑起伞；饿了，你就从商店买点吃的。只有当你身处野外时，才会意识到你对自己生活的掌控其实有多么少)”可推知，作者通过对比城市生活和户外活动，表达了在自然中花时间让人对自然心存敬畏。故选D。 C If you were to place all the rice consumed each year on one side of a scale (天平), and every person in the world on the other, the scale would tip heavily towards rice's favor. This be loved crop contributes over 20% of the calories consumed by humans each year. The roots of rice go back thousands of years to when early farmers in Asia, Africa, and South America each independently planted the crop. Asian rice, however, spread widely and is now a cornerstone of diet and culture in Asia and beyond. Many plant geneticists believe that Asian rice originated in what’s now China. Over 10,000 years ago, nomadic (游牧的) hunters in the region began gathering and eating seeds from a weedy grass. Around 9,000 years ago, they started planting these seeds. With each harvest, growers selected and replanted seeds from the rice plants that pleased them most — like those with bigger grains. Over thousands of years, thousands of varieties of Asian rice emerged. Traditionally, growers plant rice in paddy fields — flat land submerged (淹没) under as much as 10 centimeters of water throughout the growing season. This practice return s high yields since many competing weeds can’t survive in such an environment. But the technique consumes plenty of water. Rice covers 11% of global cropland, but uses over a third of the world’s irrigation water (灌溉用水). This form of rice production also produces a surprising quantity of greenhouse gases. Flooded fields are the perfect breeding grounds for microorganisms known as methanogens (产甲烷菌). The rice farming contributes around 12% of human-caused methane emissions each year. Greenhouse gases come from many — sometimes unexpected — places. Making rice growing more sustainable is just one of the many challenges we’ll need to face to avoid disastrous warming. Today, many rice growers still flood fields all season long. Changing old practices requires a major mindset shift, but going against the grain could be just what we need to keep our planet healthy and our bowls full. 9. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The history of Asian rice. B. The influence of Asian rice. C. The farming of Asian rice. D. The advantage of Asian rice. 10. What is the advantage of growing rice in paddy fields? A. It can make the rice more delicious. B. It can protect the rice from other weeds. C. It can enable rice to adapt to a variety of climates. D. It can reduce the amount of water needed for irrigation. 11. What can we learn about the current way of planting rice? A. It is facing more and more challenges. B. It has been unable to meet the demand for rice. C. It requires the introduction of new technologies. D. It should be improved to be environmentally friendly. 12. In which section of a newspaper will the text appear? A. Health B. Science. C. Agriculture. D. History. 【答案】9. A 10. B 11. D 12. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述水稻在人类食物中的重要性以及传统种植水稻方式带来的问题。 【9题详解】 主旨大意题。由文章第三段“Many plant geneticists believe that Asian rice originated in what’s now China. Over 10,000 years ago, nomadic (游牧的) hunters in the region began gathering and eating seeds from a weedy grass. Around 9,000 years ago, they started planting these seeds. With each harvest, growers selected and replanted seeds from the rice plants that pleased them most — like those with bigger grains. Over thousands of years, thousands of varieties of Asian rice emerged.(许多植物遗传学家认为，亚洲水稻起源于现在的中国。一万多年前，该地区的游牧猎人开始从杂草中采集和食用种子。大约9000年前，他们开始种植这些种子。每次收获时，种植者都会从最让他们满意的水稻植物中挑选并重新种植种子，比如那些谷物较大的水稻。数千年来，出现了数千种亚洲水稻)”可知，本段主要主要讲亚洲水稻的历史。故选A项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第四段“Traditionally, growers plant rice in paddy fields — flat land submerged (淹没) under as much as 10 centimeters of water throughout the growing season. This practice return s high yields since many competing weeds can’t survive in such an environment. (传统上，种植者在水田里种植水稻——在整个生长季节，稻田被淹没在高达10厘米的水下。这种做法可以获得高产，因为许多竞争的杂草无法在这种环境中生存)”可知，在水田里种植水稻的优点是它可以保护水稻免受其他杂草的侵害。故选B项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第五段“This form of rice production also produces a surprising quantity of greenhouse gases. Flooded fields are the perfect breeding grounds for microorganisms known as methanogens (产甲烷菌). The rice farming contributes around 12% of human-caused methane emissions each year.(这种水稻生产方式也会产生惊人数量的温室气体。洪水泛滥的田地是被称为产甲烷菌的微生物的完美繁殖地。水稻种植每年约占人为甲烷排放量的12%)”及第六段中“Today, many rice growers still flood fields all season long. Changing old practices requires a major mindset shift, but going against the grain could be just what we need to keep our planet healthy and our bowls full.(今天，许多水稻种植者仍然整个季节都在农田里浇水。改变旧的做法需要一个重大的思维转变，但反其道而行之可能正是我们所需要的，以保持我们的地球健康和我们的饭碗)”可推知，目前的水稻种植方式应该改进，使其更加环保。故选D项。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第二段“The roots of rice go back thousands of years to when early farmers in Asia, Africa, and South America each independently planted the crop. Asian rice, however, spread widely and is now a cornerstone of diet and culture in Asia and beyond.(水稻的起源可以追溯到数千年前，当时亚洲、非洲和南美洲的早期农民各自独立种植水稻。然而，亚洲大米传播广泛，现在已成为亚洲及其他地区饮食和文化的基石)”可知，文章主要讲述水稻在人类食物中的重要性以及传统种植水稻方式带来的问题。由此推知，这篇文章应出现在报纸的“农业”版块。故选C项。 第二节（共3小题；每小题0.5分，共1.5分） The Wind in the Willows 33. What did Toad boast about? A. His cart B. His boat C. His garden D. His chair 34. Who did all the hard work in the morning? A. Toad alone B. Mole and Toad C. Rat and Toad D. Rat and Mole 35. Why won’t Toad go to the police? A. Because his nerves haven’t recovered their shock. B. Because his friends will go to the police in his stead. C.

Some people have the habit of removing mold from food in order to consume the unaffected rest. ____13____ Removing the moldy parts doesn’t guarantee that the toxins (毒素) present in the product will be removed completely. Therefore, they can cause illness or food poisoning. Only hard and dry foods can be consumed once the moldy part has been removed. Therefore, you should completely throw away soft and moist foods in this situation. ____14____ We can’t afford to ignore the presence of molds on the surface and inside products. However it’s okay to eat cured meat products, firm fruits, and vegetables. ____15____ Many of these have to do with the consumption of raw foods that haven’t undergo the appropriate processes. For example, eat some fruits without washing them thoroughly. Some chemicals are often added to them while they are being grown or processed. Besides, consuming raw or undercooked white fish, without prior freezing, also increases the risk of contamination (污染) with anisakis (胃线虫). ____16____ Experts usually recommend unfreezing products in the refrigerator. This prevents temperatures that are favorable for bacterial growth. In addition, you must take care when handling raw foods and cooked foods to avoid cross-contamination. Cross-contamination can occur through indirect spread of microorganisms by equipment, food handlers, cook facilities or surfaces. ____17____ Microorganisms could pass from one to the other and certain microorganisms cause most types of food poisoning. After entering the body, these living things release poisons that make people sick. A. These problems exist everywhere. B. You should never use the same tools. C. There are other dangerous situations D. Food unfreezing processes are a critical point. E. Therefore, many think it can be a common problem F. You should never eat bread that have developed mold. G. However, many are unaware this could lead to illness. 【答案】13. G 14. F 15. C 16. D 17. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了导致霉菌的原因以及如何正确的避免霉菌传播导致疾病。 【13题详解】 根据上文“Some people have the habit of removing mold from food in order to consume the unaffected rest.(有些人有从食物中去除霉菌的习惯，以食用剩下未受影响的)”和下文“Removing the moldy parts doesn’t guarantee that the toxins (毒素) present in the product will be removed completely. Therefore, they can cause illness or food poisoning.(去除发霉的部分并不能保证产品中的毒素将被完全去除。因此，它们会引起疾病或食物中毒)”可知，空处和上文形成转折关系，说明去除霉菌也可能会导致疾病。G项“However, many are unaware this could lead to illness.(然而，许多人没有意识到这可能导致疾病)”符合语境，其中this指代上文情况，有承上作用。故选G项。 【14题详解】 根据上文“Only hard and dry foods can be consumed once the moldy part has been removed. Therefore, you should completely throw away soft and moist foods in this situation.(除去发霉的部分后，只有硬质和干燥的食物才能食用。因此，在这种情况下，你应该完全扔掉柔软和潮湿的食物)”可知，软的食物发霉后不能使用。F项“You should never eat bread that has developed mold.(你不应该吃已经发霉的面包)”符合语境，其中bread与上文soft and moist foods 对应，有承上作用。故选F项。 【15题详解】 空处为段落主题句。根据下文“Many of these have to do with the consumption of raw foods that haven’t undergo the appropriate processes.(其中许多与未经适当加工的生食的消费有关。)”可知，本段主要讲述一些其他的危险的情况。C项“There are other dangerous situations(还有其他危险情况)”中“other dangerous situations”和下文的“these”对应，所以本句有启下作用。故选C项。 【16题详解】 根据下文“Experts usually recommend unfreezing products in the refrigerator. This prevents temperatures that are favorable for bacterial growth.(专家们通常会推荐冰箱里的解冻产品。这就阻止了有利于细菌生长的温度)”可知，这里主要讲冰箱冰冻可以阻止细菌，D项“Food unfreezing processes are a critical point.(食品解冻过程是一个关键点。)”符合语境，其中unfreezing与下文对应，有启下作用。故选D项。 【17题详解】 根据上文“Cross-contamination can occur through indirect spread of microorganisms by equipment, food handlers, cook facilities or surfaces.(交叉污染可通过设备、食品操作者、烹饪设施或表面的微生物间接传播发生)”可知，这里主要讲交叉污染，空处说明避免使用相同的工具处理食物从而避免交叉污染。所以B项“You should never use the same tools.(你不应该使用相同的工具)”符合语境，有承上作用。故选B项。 第三部分：语言运用（共三节，满分37.5分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 The most important life lesson I’ve learned from running is to run at my own pace.

After a few minutes in the smoke­filled house, he retreated outside to catch his breath.Surrell knew he couldn’t hold his breath for long.Taking a deep breath, he went in a second time.The darkness was overwhelming.Yet because the house had a similar layout (布局) to his, he found the stairs and made it to the second floor.He turned to the right and was met by intense heat.He was already out of breath. His throat and lungs burned as if he’d breathed in fire instead of the smoke and soot in the air.Every blink stung his eyes.All he could hear was the crackling and popping of burning wood.Then a soft but distinct moan (呻吟声) emerged.Still unable to see, Surrell fell to his knees on the hot wood floor.He crawled toward the sound, feeling around for any sign of the girl. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式作答。 Finally, he touched something — a shoe, then an ankle. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Surrell woke up in the hospital a couple of days later. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Finally, he touched something—a shoe, then an ankle. He pulled Tiara toward him. Her body was weak and she wasn’t breathing. He hugged her into his arms and stood. He felt the heat of the flames on his cheeks. Turning, he fought through the smoke and ran blindly into the blackness. Surrell put Tiara down on the porch. He started CPR—the first time he’d ever done so. Soon she opened her eyes and took a breath on her own. Surrel’s throat closed off. Surrell woke up in the hospital a couple of days later. He suffered severe burns to his windpipe and the upper portion of his lungs. He spent over a week in the hospital. The fire worsened Surrell’s pulmonary condition, and he feels the effects even two years later. As a result, he takes extra medication that helps open his airways. “It’s a small price to pay.” he says. “I’d do it again in a heartbeat. Wouldn’t give it a second thought.” 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。讲述了萨里尔在邻居遇到火灾时，不顾自身安危冲进火海救人的故事。虽然因此病情加剧，可是他并不觉得后悔。 【详解】1. 段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容“萨里尔摸到了什么东西”可知，第一段可描写萨里尔找到了女孩并救助的过程。 ②由第二段首句内容“几天后萨里尔在医院醒来了”可知第二段可描写萨里尔救人后在医院救治情况，以及事情结束后的感悟。 2. 续写线索：找到女孩——抢救——醒来——萨里尔住院——救治——感触 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①停车：stop/park/pull up ②跑：run/rush ③爬：crawl/climb 情感类 ①哭：cry/weep/sob ②可怕的：terrible/horrible/frightening/scary 【高分句型1】He started CPR—the first time he’d ever done so.（使用了the first time引导的时间状语从句） 【高分句型2】It’s a small price to pay.（使用了it作形式主语） 听力1-5 BCBCA 6-10 ACCAC 11-15 CBCBC 16-20 CBCBA 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 高二年级英语练习 （满分：150分 考试时间：120分钟） 第一部分：听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项，并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

Annie Katsura Rollins, who is based in Toronto and researching Chinese shadow puppetry, has spent years developing expertise (专业技能) in Chinese shadow puppetry and making great efforts to help it survive a battle with cultural changes, urbanization, and modern forms of entertainment. “There’s an antediluvial understanding of what tradition is,” says Rollins.“We think it’s old and what once was. Actually, traditions are always changing in history and we just fail to witness it. To survive, the tradition needs to be with the present and be looking toward the future.” Rollins was in charge of the exhibition “Immaterial Remains: Can You Preserve a Shadow?”, which aimed to not only display the art form but also focus on the question of how to preserve shadow puppetry in China. In the exhibition, the finely carved details of clothing, facial features, and hair were obvious in the shadows of the puppets, which were in motion as air flowed, bringing them to life on the walls. Samples of the dried cowhide (牛皮) used to make the puppets were available for visitors to touch and feel. A video demonstrated how the puppets are made and operated. Rollins notes, “If you can eat with chopsticks, you too can work a shadow puppet.” She says the years she spent learning from master puppeteers in small villages remain the best way to carry on the traditions of Chinese shadow puppetry into the future, which she describes as practitioner-led (由从业者主导的) creativity. “I think that is the key to really keeping the form growing, developing, and relevant to current society and culture,” Rollins says. “We need to emphasize the live performance as a method of preservation so that every time it’s performed, it’s being continued in its original form rather than in pictures or videos. Those things only show part of what a live performance is.” 1. What is one thing that Rollins has devoted herself to for years? A. Digging into Chinese shadow puppetry. B. Promoting changes in cultural dynamics C. Holding exhibitions to preserve Chinese shadow puppetry. D. Introducing modern forms of entertainment into city life 2. What does the underlined word “antediluvial” in paragraph 2mean? A. Old- fashioned. B. Comprehensive. C. Flexible. D. Valuable 3. What is the purpose of the exhibition mentioned in paragraph 3? A. To demonstrate the popularity of Chinese shadow puppetry. B. To show various stories presented by Chinese shadow puppetry. C. To highlight the historical significance of Chinese shadow puppetry. D. To explore effective strategies to preserve Chinese shadow puppetry. 4. What is Rollins’ advice on preserving the traditions of Chinese shadow puppetry? A. Showing the puppets in exhibitions and museums. B. Setting up workshops and modernizing traditional puppetry. C. Learning from masters and providing live performances. D. Documenting the performances through pictures and videos. B Every morning, crowds of London commuters (通勤者) walk heavily through the underground and cyclists race beside the noisy traffic. Meanwhile I’ve been peacefully paddling (用浆划) up the Thames to work in Kevin, my inflatable kayak (充气皮划艇). Even if the weather is terrible, it’s still hugely enjoyable to disconnect from the London bustle (喧嚣). I usually blow Kevin up the night before so that in the morning I can jump straight in and paddle to the city from my home in Putney. I row along the south bank. It’s a busy river, and fairly fast flowing. I’ve had several near misses with bridges. There’s no GPS needed. I just carry a marine radio, my mobile phone, wall et and suit. I row to the Houses of Parliament and then reach the shore at the steps near Cannon Street and, balancing Kevin on my head, walk through the city. The idea of kayaking to work came from a fundraising event that I did last year on the Thames. Twelve mates and I got into blow-up kayaks and paddled along, stopping at various places to raise money. I then realized I could use the inflatable kayak to get to work: what a way to turn a fairly tiring journey into the best part of the day! I started loving my commute! My mornings with Kevin are drawing to a close, though, as I’m escaping for an adventure in June. With my fellow adventurer, I am kayaking from Greenland to Iceland. I think a spell in the great outdoors is very humbling. In London everything is so easy. It rains and you put up an umbrella; you’re hungry and you buy something from a shop. Only when you’ re out in the wild can you realize how little control over your life you really have. 5. What does the author think about commuting by inflatable kayak? A. It is time-consuming. B. It is risky in bad weather. C. It helps him save money. D. It gives him pleasure. 6. What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A. How the author commutes in his kayak. B.

C If you were to place all the rice consumed each year on one side of a scale (天平), and every person in the world on the other, the scale would tip heavily towards rice's favor. This be loved crop contributes over 20% of the calories consumed by humans each year. The roots of rice go back thousands of years to when early farmers in Asia, Africa, and South America each independently planted the crop. Asian rice, however, spread widely and is now a cornerstone of diet and culture in Asia and beyond. Many plant geneticists believe that Asian rice originated in what’s now China. Over 10,000 years ago, nomadic (游牧的) hunters in the region began gathering and eating seeds from a weedy grass. Around 9,000 years ago, they started planting these seeds. With each harvest, growers selected and replanted seeds from the rice plants that pleased them most — like those with bigger grains. Over thousands of years, thousands of varieties of Asian rice emerged. Traditionally, growers plant rice in paddy fields — flat land submerged (淹没) under as much as 10 centimeters of water throughout the growing season. This practice return s high yields since many competing weeds can’t survive in such an environment. But the technique consumes plenty of water. Rice covers 11% of global cropland, but uses over a third of the world’s irrigation water (灌溉用水). This form of rice production also produces a surprising quantity of greenhouse gases. Flooded fields are the perfect breeding grounds for microorganisms known as methanogens (产甲烷菌). The rice farming contributes around 12% of human-caused methane emissions each year. Greenhouse gases come from many — sometimes unexpected — places. Making rice growing more sustainable is just one of the many challenges we’ll need to face to avoid disastrous warming. Today, many rice growers still flood fields all season long. Changing old practices requires a major mindset shift, but going against the grain could be just what we need to keep our planet healthy and our bowls full. 9. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The history of Asian rice. B. The influence of Asian rice. C. The farming of Asian rice. D. The advantage of Asian rice. 10. What is the advantage of growing rice in paddy fields? A. It can make the rice more delicious. B. It can protect the rice from other weeds. C. It can enable rice to adapt to a variety of climates. D.

It has been unable to meet the demand for rice. C. It requires the introduction of new technologies. D It should be improved to be environmentally friendly. 12.

After a few minutes in the smoke­filled house, he retreated outside to catch his breath.Surrell knew he couldn’t hold his breath for long.Taking a deep breath, he went in a second time.The darkness was overwhelming.Yet because the house had a similar layout (布局) to his, he found the stairs and made it to the second floor.He turned to the right and was met by intense heat.He was already out of breath. His throat and lungs burned as if he’d breathed in fire instead of the smoke and soot in the air.Every blink stung his eyes.All he could hear was the crackling and popping of burning wood.Then a soft but distinct moan (呻吟声) emerged.Still unable to see, Surrell fell to his knees on the hot wood floor.He crawled toward the sound, feeling around for any sign of the girl. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式作答。 Finally, he touched something — a shoe, then an ankle. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Surrell woke up in the hospital a couple of days later. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力1-5 BCBCA 6-10 ACCAC 11-15 CBCBC 16-20 CBCBA 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
