However, it is thousands of miles long and the Beijing section is only a small part of the Great Wall. The first choice is Badaling, but we recommend Juyong Pass, which is less crowded but no less impressive. Depending on your health and preference, you can climb very steep steps or have a walk on the relatively flat areas. There are many locations for great photo opportunities, Day 2 Start at the Temple of Heaven, where emperors used to hold ceremonies to pray. Stop at the Echo Wall and discover the wonder of voices bouncing (弹跳) back and forth. Pass through the guard-protected Golden Water Bridge, and go to visit the Palace Museum. Day 3 You can pay a visit to Capital Museum where the exhibits have more surprises. Take a walk along Wangfujing Street, a modern shopping street. The walking is much less intensive and the budgeted time much more flexible. You may want to finish the day off by catching a performance of Peking Opera and National Centre for the Performing Arts is an ideal place to go. Day 4 The Summer Palace in a northwestern suburb of the city is a beautiful place. A short taxi ride north will take you to Qianmen Street. This shopping centre was renovated (翻新) for the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics. Here are some of the oldest businesses of the city, including the famous Peking Duck. 1. Which day covers a visit to the Great wall? A. Day 1. B. Day 2. C. Day 3. D. Day 4. 2. Where should you go to enjoy Peking Opera according to the text? A. To Capital Museum. B. Ta the Summer Palace.

B Wang Yaping went into space aboard the Shenzhou Ⅷ on October 16th, 2021. She became the first Chinese female astronaut (女航天员) to enter Tiangong space station. Wang’s space dream started in 2003, when China sent its first astronaut Yang Liwei into space. After having safe flights for 1,600 hours over nine years, Wang was a strong candidate (候选人) to become an astronaut in 2010. She pushed herself hard, getting the same training as men. “The space environment won’t change because you are a woman,” she told Xinhua. The hardest part is the high-G training. Sitting in a spinning (旋转的) machine, Wang would become blind for a while because her brain was short of blood. But she didn’t give in. That strong spirit finally made her dream come true in 2013. Wang said that as astronauts, women have their own advantages (优势). “Women may be more patient and can better deal with loneliness. Women’s hearts are also easier to adapt to the weightless environment, making them more suitable for long-term missions.” Wang Yaping sets a good example for all women who dream of going to space. 4. When did Wang dreamed of being an astronaut? A. In 2010. B. In 2003. C. In 2013. D. In 2021. 5.Wang’s words in Paragraph 2 mean ________. A. the space environment is easy to change B. only men can go to space station in the world C. both male and female astronauts can go to space D. men and women will face the same difficulties in space 6. How did Wang Yaping feel when she was having the high-G training? A. Relaxed. B. Interested. C. Uncomfortable. D. Strong. 7.What advantages does a female astronaut have according to Wang? A. More patience. B.Less weight. C.More problem-solving skills. D.Stronger. C Open an app, place your order, and wait for your food to be delivered to your home—this is how many people eat in China these days. According to the latest data from the China Internet Network Information Center, about 420 million Chinese people use online food delivery (递送) services. That’s equal to half of the total number of Internet users in China. A recent report that was published by Meituan, a food delivery service, showed that 86. 3 percent of the service’s users are between 20 and 34 years old. These people, who are more likely to live in small families, are the major force driving the development of the food delivery industry. For those families, cooking is relatively more time-and resource-consuming (耗时耗材), so ordering food online has become more popular. The improvement of China’s food delivery services has also attracted more customers. According to Meituan’s report, the average time it takes to make a food delivery dropped from 38 minutes in 2016 to 29 minutes in 2019. Many delivery platforms (平台) are also offering more services, delivering products such as fruit, vegetables, medicine and flowers. As its services continue to improve, it’s likely that the food delivery industry will keep growing. 8．________ of the Internet users in China order food online these days. A．About 86. 3% B．About 50% C．About 34% D．About 20% 9．Who are more likely to use food delivery services? A．People aged from 20 to 34. B．People living in big families. C．People who don’t know how to cook. D．People who work in food companies. 10．What is the main idea of Paragraph 2? A．How the app of Meituan works. B．Why most food industries are successful. C．How many people use the Internet in China. D．Why food delivery service is so popular. 11．What do we know from the last paragraph? A．More products can be bought through delivery platforms. B．Making a food delivery takes more time than before. C．Products of food industry will be more expensive. D．Meituan is the best delivery platform in China. D Everyone “talks” with their hands at least sometimes. Some people’s hand-talking, or gesturing (手势) matches their messages well. Other people like to make gestures that can be confusing. And still others don’t use their hands much at all. No matter which group you are in, it’s important to pay attention to your hand gestures while you are communicating. And also remember hand gestures can have cultural meanings. A few years ago, I was a speaker at a conference in Lisbon, Portugal. It was my first time in Portugal, and I became immediately fond of the special pastries (糕点) that Lisbon and Portugal are known for. One morning I went into a bakery and ordered two of the pastries. I did so by holding up two fingers, similar to the “victory” or “peace” gesture in the United States. The person behind the counter put three pastries in the box. I later learned that the gesture for two would raise thumb and index finger. Even though my thumb wasn’t showing, the person behind the counter thought I was signaling for three. I was lucky that I didn’t get into more trouble than an extra pastry. Many hand gestures are not universal. Before speaking in a country that you are not familiar with, do some research to find out which gestures might be misunderstood, not understood at all or rude. 12．Why did the author go to Lisbon, Portugal? A．To taste pastries. B．To take a holiday. C．To attend a meeting. D．To learn Portuguese culture. 13．What does the underlined word “universal” refer to in para.3? A．Normal. B．Independent. C．Common. D．Complex. 14．What can we learn from the author’s experience? A．One should be careful when ordering food in Portugal. B．Hand gestures may have different meanings in different cultures. C．The person behind the counter understood the author’s gesture. D．The person behind the counter cheated the author. 15．The author’s main purpose in writing the passage is to______. A．tell us that hand gestures are not the same worldwide B．explain the general use of gestures C．ask us to use correct hand gestures in Portugal D．share a funny story in Portugal 第二节　(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，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。 If you begin a new job, it is important for you to make the right impression from the very first day.
