It is the largest of all land animals, and is found both in Asia and Africa. One of the main places in Asia where the elephant lives is the island of Ceylon. The huge forests on the island become the home of thousands of elephants. The trees grow thick and tall. They make many parts almost dark, while bright sunlight is above and around them. Living habits The elephant likes the deep part and the coolest places of the forest. There he will stand swinging his ears, to drive away the flies; or he will pull down a branch from a tree to fan himself. He likes bathing, and to be near a lake or running water. There he takes in the water with his trunk, and spreads it all over his body. Food The elephant enjoys the fruits in the forest, and also the leaves of the trees. There is plenty of food for him in the forests, though he is not always happy with what he finds there. Way of movement When a group of elephants moves about in the forest, the oldest goes first. The young elephants and their mothers are in the middle, where they are safest. Then all move along with a great noise, the branches of the trees bending and breaking before them. Though the elephant is usually harmless, no one dares to attack (袭击) a group of them moving through the forest. How people treat them In Asia the elephant is trained to work. At one time the African elephant also was trained. Soldiers in ancient times often went to fight on the backs of African elephants. But now the elephant that lives in Africa is illegally (非法地) hunted mainly for its valuable ivory. In order to protect them, governments around the world have developed laws to stop this. 41.

It was said that school should not start before March. The exact start time of school will depend on situations and further notices. However, many parents are very worried that putting off the start of school may affect (影响) children’s studies. If they have such a long winter vacation, children will not learn any knowledge, read books or study at all. They may forget what they have learned before. Staying at home for a long time will make them keep eating, sleeping and playing, which seriously affect their physical and mental health. In short, the close of school influences learning and develops bad habits, so how should we avoid these problems? Local education departments have also issued a notice, that is, to organize online teaching and create a network platform (平台), where necessary courses will be shown every day, and online teaching will be given by excellent teachers of the subject, and students can learn at home through computer or mobile network. It should be said that such a method is very good. It can not only keep students indoors and not worry about the infection (感染) of the disease, but also make them study at home, improve their learning ability, and truly achieve “no suspension of classes”. Both the platform itself and the recorded lesson resources are more useful, and are welcomed by parents and teachers. Of course, except for learning at home, it is also necessary to teach children about health knowledge, especially how to keep away from touching virus and other knowledge popularization; at the same time, it is also necessary for children to do some physical exercises or some games, which is good for physical health at home. 46. Parents worried about putting off the start time of school because ________. A. children may be infected by virus B. they don’t like the idea of online learning C. children’s study may be affected D. parents have no time to look after children 47. Except for learning at home, what is also necessary according to the writer? A. To keep playing online games. B. To keep touching different people. C. To do some physical exercises outside. D. To teach children about health knowledge. 48. The underlined word “suspension” in Paragraph 4 probably means ________. A. plan B. stop C. growth D. change 49. Which is TRUE according to the passage? A. Students would rather go to school. B. The date of going to school is decided. C. Online teaching will help students study. D. Parents believe children can teach themselves. 50. What’s the best title for this passage? A. A Special Way to Learn at Home B. A New War with a New Chance C. A Way to Keep Mentally Healthy D. A Method to Make Parents Worried 【答案】46. C 47. D 48. B 49. C 50. A 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了受新型肺炎影响，教育部推迟开学，为学生能持续学习、避免养成坏习惯，推出了在线学习的方式，并简单介绍了线上课程的益处。 【46题详解】 细节理解题。根据“However, many parents are very worried that putting off the start of school may affect (影响) children’s studies. (但是，很多家长非常担心推迟开学会影响孩子的学习。)”可知，家长担心推迟开始时间会影响孩子们的学习。故选C。 【47题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Of course, except for learning at home, it is also necessary to teach children about health knowledge... (当然，除了在家学习之外，对孩子进行健康知识教育也很有必要……)”，可知，除了在家学习外，还需要向孩子传授一些健康知识。故选D。 【48题详解】 词义猜测题。根据“It can not only keep students indoors and not worry about the infection ( 感染 ) of the disease, but also make them study at home, improve their learning ability, and truly achieve “no suspension of classes”. (既能让学生足不出户，不用担心疾病的传染，又能让学生在家学习，提高学习能力，真正做到“不停课”。)”可知，让学生们在家上网课提高他们的学习能力，这真正达到了“不停课”的效果，所以suspension表示“停止”，与stop意义相近。故选B。 【49题详解】 细节理解题。根据文中“...and online teaching will be given by excellent teachers of the subject, and students can learn at home through computer or mobile network. (……由该学科的优秀教师进行在线教学，学生可以通过电脑或移动网络在家学习。)”可知，学生可以通过计算机或移动网络在家学习，在线教育能够帮助学生学习，故选C。 【50题详解】 主旨大意题。根据整篇文章的理解可知，主要讲述受疫情影响，教育部推出了在线学习的方式，并描述了其益处。结合四个选项可知，A选项“一种在家学习的特殊方式”符合题意，故选A。 C “Volunteering makes you look at the world differently. You see how little things can change a person’s life for the better, which makes everyone a better person. ”Mason, a volunteer said. National Volunteer Week started in 1974 and is held every April. It is a time to thank volunteers for their achievements. It is also a perfect opportunity (机会) to encourage others to take their first step toward becoming a volunteer. Making the decision to take the first step can be the biggest problem, because they often wonder if they will be able to meet the organization’s expectations (期望). Some people fear not knowing anyone else in the group. Not having enough time also prevents some from sharing their abilities.

Even a few hours a month can make a big difference in someone’s life. ★Choose an organization with the same interests and common values. ★Take part in a training meeting for new volunteers, even if it is not asked. ★Work with a veteran volunteer. He volunteered a lot, he can help you increase the confidence and completely understand the organization’s expectations. ★Invite a friend or family member to serve It is a good experience to volunteer with them. ★Finally, it is most important to enjoy the volunteer experience and to remember that not all volunteer experiences are perfect. If one experience doesn’t work, don’t give up and you’ll surely find the right opportunity. Spend some time on volunteer work and you will see great changes in people’s lives.

You see how little things can change a person's life for the better, which makes everyone a better person. (志愿活动让你用不同的眼光看世界。你会发现，小事情可以让一个人的生活变得更好，让每个人都成为更好的人。)”可知志愿工作使你对世界的看法不同，使每个人都成为更好的人。故选D项。 【52题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Some people fear not knowing anyone else in the group. Not having enough time also prevents some from sharing their abilities. (有些人害怕在群体中不认识其他人。没有足够的时间也阻止了一些人分享他们的能力。)”可知有些人害怕他们不认识小组里的其他人，没有足够的时间也会阻止一些人分享他们的能力。故选A项。 【53题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五条建议中“Invite a friend or family member to serve.

One of the rules is that young people should always respect old people. Unluckily, this rule led to my very first embarrassment (难堪) in the United States. I had a part-time job as a waiter in a Chinese restaurant. One day, when I was serving food to a middle-aged couple, the wife asked me why the food was served so quickly. I told her that I had made sure they got their food quickly because I always respect old people. As soon as I said that, they showed great displeasure. My manager, who happened to hear what I said, took me aside and gave me a long lecture about how sensitive (敏感的) Americans are and how they dislike the description of being “old”. I then walked back to the table and apologized to the couple. After the couple heard my explanation and realized that the problem was caused by cultural differences, they laughed. In my village in China, people are proud of being old because old age means having rich knowledge and experience. Young people always respect old people because they can learn from them. However, in the United States, people think “growing old” is a problem since it shows that a person is going to retire or that his health is failing. So many people try to keep themselves from aging by doing exercises or jogging, and some women put on makeup, hoping to look young. When I told the couple in the restaurant that I respect old people, they got angry because I made them feel they were old. Clearly, I had said something they didn’t want to hear. After that, I changed the way I had been with old people. It is not that I don’t respect them but that I no longer express it the Chinese way. 51. The writer served the couple their food so quickly because ________. A. the manager asked him to do so B. he respected old people C. the couple wanted him to do so D. he wanted more pay 52. When the writer treated the couple as old people, they became ________. A. nervous B. sensitive C. unhappy D. excited 53. In the writer’s hometown, ________. A. people are proud of being old B. people dislike being treated as the old C. many people have been to America D. old people are interested in doing exercises 54. After this experience, the writer ________. A. lost his job in the restaurant B. made friends with the couple C. no longer respected the old D. learned more about American culture 55. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE? A. The more the writer explained, the angrier the couple got. B. The writer began to dislike the old after this experience. C. The manager went to the table and apologized to the couple. D. Americans and Chinese have different ideas about “being old”. 【答案】51. B 52. C 53. A 54. D 55. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。作者以自己在美国餐馆服务一对中年人为例，讲述了中国人和美国人在对待“老”这个问题上的不同感受。 【51题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“I told her that I had made sure they got their food quickly because I always respect old people.

According to the team’s director Ma Yanhe, it takes the plants nearly 60 steps to produce starch. But now, the team, after six years of hard work, has found a simpler way to do this, with only 11 steps. “Our study shows that creating something like starch is possible in a lab, and this technology may be helpful in many areas,” said Ma. The scientists first turned CO2 and hydrogen (氢气) into methanol (甲醇). Then they pieced (分解) these methanol molecules (分子) into bigger and more complex (复杂的) molecules. Finally the starch was produced. This method makes it possible to produce food in factories, replacing traditional farming. This will not only help make plenty of food, but also save water and land. It may also help recycle CO2 to deal with climate (气候) change, according to China Daily. The study can be helpful in space, too. Astronauts may no longer need to worry about their food as they travel in space. They may simply turn the CO2 they breathe out into the food they eat! 46. With a new technique, the Chinese scientists could turn ___________into starch. A. CO2 B. air C. water D. sunlight 47. Plants can create ___________with CO2, water and sunlight. A. methanol B. hydrogen C. starch D. greenhouse gas 48. According to the last two paragraphs, the new method may not help ___________. A. produce food in factories B. recycle CO2 to deal with climate change C. save water and land D. send astronauts into space 49. According to the passage, which of the following is WRONG? A. Producing starch in the lab needs fewer steps now. B. The new technology may be helpful in many areas. C. The method will help make plenty of food. D. The studly will be of no help to astronauts. 50.

They are all from plants or animals, but that doesn’t mean they’re friendly to the earth. For example, farmers have to use a lot of chemicals to grow cotton plants. Scientists are now looking for new ways to make clothing materials. They hope the new materials are both comfortable and good for the earth. Scientists have worked out how to make materials out of corn husks (壳、荚), chicken feathers and rice straws. “They used to be useless things. We always have a problem of how to deal with them,” Yang, a scientist says, “Now, we can turn them into beautiful materials. Chicken feathers are better than other things. They have small air pockets like honeycombs. That means it will be very warm if you use them to make a jacket or sweater, and I think more and more people will like to buy these kinds of clothes.” 66. Clothes are traditionally made of ________. A. natural materials B. chicken feathers C. rice straws D. corn husks 67. What are the new clothing materials? A. Leather and wool. B. Cotton and wool. C. Corn husks and rice straws. D. Animals’ fur. 68. What does the underlined word “honeycombs” in Paragraph 3 mean in Chinese? A. 鸟巢 B. 蛇穴 C. 渔网 D. 蜂窝 69. Why are chicken feathers better than other materials? A. Because they are from plants. B. Because they are traditional clothing materials. C. Because they have small air pockets like honeycombs. D. Because they are less expensive. 70. What’s the best title of this passage? A. New Clothing Materials B. New Clothes C. Natural Materials D. Traditional Clothing Materials 【答案】66. A 67. C 68. D 69. C 70. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了科学家研究出了可以替代传统制衣材料的新材料。 【66题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Clothes are traditionally made of natural materials, such as cotton, leather and wool. (衣服传统上由天然材料制成，例如棉花、皮革和羊毛。)”可知，传统上衣服由天然材料制成。故选A。 【67题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Scientists have worked out how to make materials out of corn husks (壳、荚), chicken feathers and rice straws. (科学家已经研究出了如何用玉米壳、鸡羽毛和稻草制作新材料。)”可知，制衣新材料是玉米壳和稻草。故选C。 【68题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第三段“They have small air pockets like honeycombs.

(鸡羽毛比其他东西更好。它们有像蜂窝一样的小气袋。)”可推断出，这两句为因果关系，因此鸡羽毛比其它材料更好是因为它们有像蜂窝一样的小气袋。故选C。 【70题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段第一句“Scientists are now looking for new ways to make clothing materials. (科学家正在寻找制衣新材料。)”和全文内容可知，这篇文章主要介绍了科学家研究出了用玉米鸡羽毛和稻草制作的制衣新材料，因此“New Clothing Materials (新制衣材料)”作为标题符合题意。故选A. C One cold winter night in Shanghai, I was walking home at 1:00 in the morning after long tiring work. I was having trouble with my job in the bank. As I walked, I thought seriously about giving up living there. City life had became too much for me. As I walked down empty streets, I felt very small and cold. I began running, both to keep warm and to keep away any possible danger. Very few people were still out except a few sad－looking homeless people under blankets (毛毯). Suddenly, I heard a sound behind me. I turned quickly, all I saw was a shining streetlight. Still, the noise had made me nervous, so I started to run faster. When I reached home, I realized what the noise had been. It had been my wallet falling to the sidewalk. Now I wasn’t cold or tired anymore. I ran back to where I’d heard the noise. Although I searched carefully for fifteen minutes, my wallet was nowhere to be found. Just as I was about to give up the search, I heard the garbage truck (垃圾车) come to me. When a voice called from the inside, “Alisa Chen?” I thought I was dreaming. How could this man know my name? The door opened, and out jumped a small red-haired man. “Is this what you’re looking for?” he asked, holding up a small square shape. It was nearly 3:00 a. m. by the time I got into bed. But I had got my wallet back. I also had got back some enjoyment of city life. I realized that the city couldn’t be a bad place as long as people were willing to help each other. 71. One cold winter night, the writer felt ______ when she was back home after work. A. cold and sick B. lucky and helpful C. excited and cheerful D. disappointed and helpless 72.

What was the sound behind the writer when she was running down the empty streets? A. Someone called her. B. The sound of her wallet falling to the sidewalk. C. The sound of a garbage truck. D. There was not any sound at all. 75. From the passage, we can infer(推断) that the writer ______. A. would stop working at night B. would stay on in Shanghai C. would make friends with cleaners D. would give up her job at the bank 【答案】71. D 72. A 73. C 74. B 75. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。本文主要讲述了作者在一天的工作之后，在对这个城市以及对生活都失去兴趣的时候，因为得到了别人的帮助，又重新燃起了对这个城市生活的喜爱之情。 【71题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“I was having trouble with my job in the bank. As I walked, I thought seriously about giving up living there. (我在银行的工作遇到了麻烦。我一边走，一边认真考虑是否要放弃在那里的生活。)”以及第二段“As I walked down empty streets, I felt very small and cold. (当我走在空荡荡的街道上时，我感到非常渺小和寒冷。)”可知，作者当时工作上有麻烦，想要放弃，所以当时感到渺小、寒冷、失望以及无助。故选D。 【72题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“When I reached home, I realized what the noise had been. It had been my wallet falling to the sidewalk.

It is the largest of all land animals, and is found both in Asia and Africa. One of the main places in Asia where the elephant lives is the island of Ceylon. The huge forests on the island become the home of thousands of elephants. The trees grow thick and tall. They make many parts almost dark, while bright sunlight is above and around them. Living habits The elephant likes the deep part and the coolest places of the forest. There he will stand swinging his ears, to drive away the flies; or he will pull down a branch from a tree to fan himself. He likes bathing, and to be near a lake or running water. There he takes in the water with his trunk, and spreads it all over his body. Food The elephant enjoys the fruits in the forest, and also the leaves of the trees. There is plenty of food for him in the forests, though he is not always happy with what he finds there. Way of movement When a group of elephants moves about in the forest, the oldest goes first. The young elephants and their mothers are in the middle, where they are safest. Then all move along with a great noise, the branches of the trees bending and breaking before them. Though the elephant is usually harmless, no one dares to attack (袭击) a group of them moving through the forest. How people treat them In Asia the elephant is trained to work. At one time the African elephant also was trained. Soldiers in ancient times often went to fight on the backs of African elephants. But now the elephant that lives in Africa is illegally (非法地) hunted mainly for its valuable ivory. In order to protect them, governments around the world have developed laws to stop this. 41. The elephant likes the ________ part of the forest. A. bright and sunny B. deep and cool C. dry and deep D. wet and sunny 42. Elephants like to do the following things except ________. A. bathing B. having fruits C. eating leaves D. harming people 43. Why are young elephants and their mothers in the middle while moving? A. To keep safe. B. To avoid making noises. C. To break the trees. D. To walk faster. 44. What is the African elephant now mainly hunted for? A. Working for people. B. Fighting in the army. C. Performing for people. D. Selling for money. 45. Which of the following sentences is NOT true according to the passage? A. Many Asian elephants live on the island of Ceylon. B. Elephants drive away the flies by using their ears. C. Elephants are always happy with the food they find in the forest. D. A group of moving elephants make people scared, although they are harmless. B On January 27, in order to win the new pneumonia Resistance War (抗击新型肺炎战), the Ministry of Education issued (教育部公布) a notice on putting off the start time of school in spring 2020. It was said that school should not start before March. The exact start time of school will depend on situations and further notices. However, many parents are very worried that putting off the start of school may affect (影响) children’s studies. If they have such a long winter vacation, children will not learn any knowledge, read books or study at all. They may forget what they have learned before. Staying at home for a long time will make them keep eating, sleeping and playing, which seriously affect their physical and mental health. In short, the close of school influences learning and develops bad habits, so how should we avoid these problems? Local education departments have also issued a notice, that is, to organize online teaching and create a network platform (平台), where necessary courses will be shown every day, and online teaching will be given by excellent teachers of the subject, and students can learn at home through computer or mobile network. It should be said that such a method is very good. It can not only keep students indoors and not worry about the infection (感染) of the disease, but also make them study at home, improve their learning ability, and truly achieve “no suspension of classes”. Both the platform itself and the recorded lesson resources are more useful, and are welcomed by parents and teachers. Of course, except for learning at home, it is also necessary to teach children about health knowledge, especially how to keep away from touching virus and other knowledge popularization; at the same time, it is also necessary for children to do some physical exercises or some games, which is good for physical health at home. 46. Parents worried about putting off the start time of school because ________. A. children may be infected by virus B. they don’t like the idea of online learning C. children’s study may be affected D. parents have no time to look after children 47. Except for learning at home, what is also necessary according to the writer? A. To keep playing online games. B. To keep touching different people. C. To do some physical exercises outside. D. To teach children about health knowledge. 48. The underlined word “suspension” in Paragraph 4 probably means ________. A. plan B. stop C. growth D. change 49. Which is TRUE according to the passage? A. Students would rather go to school. B. The date of going to school is decided. C. Online teaching will help students study. D. Parents believe children can teach themselves. 50. What’s the best title for this passage? A. A Special Way to Learn at Home B. A New War with a New Chance C. A Way to Keep Mentally Healthy D. A Method to Make Parents Worried C “Volunteering makes you look at the world differently. You see how little things can change a person’s life for the better, which makes everyone a better person. ”Mason, a volunteer said. National Volunteer Week started in 1974 and is held every April. It is a time to thank volunteers for their achievements. It is also a perfect opportunity (机会) to encourage others to take their first step toward becoming a volunteer. Making the decision to take the first step can be the biggest problem, because they often wonder if they will be able to meet the organization’s expectations (期望). Some people fear not knowing anyone else in the group. Not having enough time also prevents some from sharing their abilities. The following tips can help if you have some of these worries. ★Start out slowly, don't add too much pressure. Even a few hours a month can make a big difference in someone’s life. ★Choose an organization with the same interests and common values. ★Take part in a training meeting for new volunteers, even if it is not asked. ★Work with a veteran volunteer. He volunteered a lot, he can help you increase the confidence and completely understand the organization’s expectations. ★Invite a friend or family member to serve It is a good experience to volunteer with them. ★Finally, it is most important to enjoy the volunteer experience and to remember that not all volunteer experiences are perfect. If one experience doesn’t work, don’t give up and you’ll surely find the right opportunity. Spend some time on volunteer work and you will see great changes in people’s lives. As Mason discovered during his volunteer experience, “...little things can change a person’s life.” 51. Volunteering can help ________. A. make a decision B. see the world clearly C. thank other people D. make person’s life better 52. What could be the reason to stop people taking the first step? A. They don’t have enough time. B.

Start out quickly. B. Organize a training meeting. C. Invite a friend to be with them. D. Join in a group with different values. 54. The underlined word “veteran” in the passage means “________”.

How to make great achievements in volunteering. D.

It can be as easy as walking into a neighborhood store to look at its announcement board (布告栏). Local stores often have areas where people can put small signs telling what kind of service they need or can provide. Such services include caring for children or cleaning houses. Job searchers can also look in the newspaper. Local newspapers have employment announcements placed by companies seeking workers. Another popular tool for finding jobs is the Internet. For example, people in four hundred and fifty cities around the world can use the Craigslist Web site to buy objects, meet people or find a job. Craigslist says that it receives two million new job listings each month. Another useful way to find a job is through a college or university. For example, students at the University of Texas in Austin can go to the Career Exploration Center to get help in finding a job. Of course, looking for a job requires knowing what kind of work you want to do. For example, there is a book called “What Color is Your Parachute” by Richard Bolles. This book has been helping people choose a career (职业) since it was first published in 1970. Some experts also help people find jobs. Susan W. Miller owns a company called California Career Services in Los Angeles. She says her company helps people find jobs by first helping them understand their strengths, goals and interests. Then she provides them with methods and resources to help them find the right job. 46. What is the passage mainly about? A. Finding a job. B. College students’ part-time jobs. C. Craigslist Web site. D. The relation between study and work. 47. By logging on the Craigslist Web site, you can ________. A. sell your old things B. do some shopping C. create your own announcement board D. get useful information about 450 cities 48.

Miller’s company is helping people choose careers D. California Career Services mainly serves university students 50. How many ways of finding a job are mentioned in the passage? A. Three. B. Four. C. Five. D. Six. C When my family moved to America in 2010 from a small village in Guangdong, China, we brought with us not only our luggage, but also our village rules, customs and culture. One of the rules is that young people should always respect old people. Unluckily, this rule led to my very first embarrassment (难堪) in the United States. I had a part-time job as a waiter in a Chinese restaurant. One day, when I was serving food to a middle-aged couple, the wife asked me why the food was served so quickly. I told her that I had made sure they got their food quickly because I always respect old people. As soon as I said that, they showed great displeasure. My manager, who happened to hear what I said, took me aside and gave me a long lecture about how sensitive (敏感的) Americans are and how they dislike the description of being “old”. I then walked back to the table and apologized to the couple. After the couple heard my explanation and realized that the problem was caused by cultural differences, they laughed. In my village in China, people are proud of being old because old age means having rich knowledge and experience. Young people always respect old people because they can learn from them. However, in the United States, people think “growing old” is a problem since it shows that a person is going to retire or that his health is failing. So many people try to keep themselves from aging by doing exercises or jogging, and some women put on makeup, hoping to look young. When I told the couple in the restaurant that I respect old people, they got angry because I made them feel they were old. Clearly, I had said something they didn’t want to hear. After that, I changed the way I had been with old people. It is not that I don’t respect them but that I no longer express it the Chinese way. 51. The writer served the couple their food so quickly because ________. A. the manager asked him to do so B. he respected old people C. the couple wanted him to do so D. he wanted more pay 52. When the writer treated the couple as old people, they became ________. A. nervous B. sensitive C. unhappy D. excited 53. In the writer’s hometown, ________. A. people are proud of being old B. people dislike being treated as the old C. many people have been to America D. old people are interested in doing exercises 54. After this experience, the writer ________. A. lost his job in the restaurant B. made friends with the couple C. no longer respected the old D. learned more about American culture 55. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE? A. The more the writer explained, the angrier the couple got. B. The writer began to dislike the old after this experience. C. The manager went to the table and apologized to the couple. D. Americans and Chinese have different ideas about “being old”. （题组突破训练三） 阅读下列短文，从各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并将答案填涂在答题卡上。 A Universal Beijing Resort Universal Beijing Resort is a widely expected theme park.

Recently, some Chinese scientists have developed a new technique (技术). They turned CO2, one of the main greenhouse gases, into starch (淀粉). Starch is the main part of flour (面粉), rice and corn that we eat every day. Usually, it’s created by plants with CO2, water and sunlight. According to the team’s director Ma Yanhe, it takes the plants nearly 60 steps to produce starch. But now, the team, after six years of hard work, has found a simpler way to do this, with only 11 steps. “Our study shows that creating something like starch is possible in a lab, and this technology may be helpful in many areas,” said Ma. The scientists first turned CO2 and hydrogen (氢气) into methanol (甲醇). Then they pieced (分解) these methanol molecules (分子) into bigger and more complex (复杂的) molecules. Finally the starch was produced. This method makes it possible to produce food in factories, replacing traditional farming. This will not only help make plenty of food, but also save water and land. It may also help recycle CO2 to deal with climate (气候) change, according to China Daily. The study can be helpful in space, too. Astronauts may no longer need to worry about their food as they travel in space. They may simply turn the CO2 they breathe out into the food they eat! 46. With a new technique, the Chinese scientists could turn ___________into starch. A. CO2 B. air C. water D. sunlight 47. Plants can create ___________with CO2, water and sunlight. A. methanol B. hydrogen C. starch D. greenhouse gas 48. According to the last two paragraphs, the new method may not help ___________. A. produce food in factories B. recycle CO2 to deal with climate change C. save water and land D. send astronauts into space 49. According to the passage, which of the following is WRONG? A. Producing starch in the lab needs fewer steps now. B. The new technology may be helpful in many areas. C. The method will help make plenty of food. D. The studly will be of no help to astronauts. 50. The passage may be from a ___________. A. guidebook B. magazine C. poem D. novel C What is a tsunami (海啸)? Tsunamis are often caused by earthquakes or volcanoes (火山). The average speed (平均速度) of the waves is 300 mph and the waves can last from five minutes to an hour. What to do in a tsunami? Firstly, when a strong earthquake is felt, leave the water at once, get to the shore (海岸) and go as far away as you can from the beach fast. If it allows, go to a higher ground. Secondly, turn on the TV for news and weather report. They will tell you more about the tsunami. Thirdly, get all members of your family together and let everyone know the tsunami is coming. Choose a place to stay together. Make sure the place is safe and as far away from the shore as possible. Bring emergency supplies (应急用品) when you have to leave your house. At last, if you find a huge wave is coming, climb onto the roof of your house or on the highest point of the nearest building. Hold on to anything that’s strong enough. Climb a tree if you have to. For a tsunami, the only way to survive (幸免于) it is to be prepared. 51. When a tsunami comes, the waves will ___________. A. go as quickly as 300 mph B. become stronger before the earthquake C. cause heavy rain D. last shorter and shorter 52. How many suggestions are mentioned in this passage? A. Two. B. Three. C. Four.

A terrible earthquake hit Wenchuan, Sichuan on May 12nd, 2008. That year I was only seven. When I heard about the event, I was doing my homework at home. Although I didn’t understand what it meant to Chinese people, I found my parents crying at that time. — Li Lei The 31st Olympic Games took place in Rio on August 6th, 2016. That morning I was watching the opening on TV. I felt excited when I saw the athletes of our country. And I decided to learn from them. I must study hard and do more exercise. — Zhu Yu On September 15th, 2016, China launched (发射) its second space station. The Tiangong-2 was carried into space on Thursday night by a Long March 7 rocket from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in northern China. When I watched the news on TV, I was talking with my parents about our country’s rapid development. We all agreed that China was getting stronger and stronger. — Zhang Xin On August 18th, 2016, China continued its dominance (优势地位) of Olympic table tennis as its men’ s team beat Japan’ s in Wednesday’ s final. Ma Long, Zhang Jike and Xu Xin defeated the Japanese trio (三人一组) of Koki Niwa, Jun Mizutani and Maharu Yoshimura 3-1. I jumped up with excitement when I saw them beat the Japanese on TV.

Zhu Yu was doing homework when the Olympic Games began B Would you like to live in a city where buildings turn the lights off for you, and self-driving cars will find the nearest parking space themselves? Although it might sound a little far from you, living in a “smart” city like this could happen sooner than you think. Great changes have taken place in towns that we have lived in for centuries, while completely new cities are being built. One such place is the city of Songdo. Every home there will have a “telepresence” system (远程遥控系统) — allowing users to control the heating and locks, take part in video meetings, and receive education, healthcare and government services. Around the city, escalators (自动扶梯) will only move when someone is on them, and offices and schools will all be connected to the system. The great mind behind Songdo is from the company Cisco. In fact, technology companies around the world such as IBM, Siemens and Microsoft are already in the business. About 75％ of the world’s population will live in cities by 2050, so cities will need to be more modern to deal with the coming problems. “Making cities smarter is one way out, and I think this will in turn make cities greener,” said Dan Hill, head of a research company. 46.

B On May 5, 2017, China’s home-made passenger aircraft (飞机) C919 completed its 90-minute first flight and landed safely back at Pudong Airport in Shanghai. C919 is developed by COMAC, a Chinese aircraft company. It is designed to compete with Boeing 737 and Airbus A320. The first C919 aircraft can carry 168 passengers and is able to fly a distance between 4075 and 5555 kilometers. It’s reported that a C919 costs around 50 million dollars, less than half of a Boeing 737 or an Airbus A320. Up to now, more than 570 aircrafts have been ordered from 23 customers, mostly Chinese, but also American and Thai companies or airlines. COMAC aims to take one fifth of the world’s narrow-body aircraft market and one third of the Chinese market by 2035. The name C919 has its special meanings. The letter C stands for both “COMAC” and “China”. The number 9 is pronounced as “jiu” in Chinese, which means “forever”. And the number 19 refers to its capacity (容量) of 190 passengers. The large passenger aircraft is praised as “the flower of modern industry”. It is a symbol of the nation’s industrial and technological standards as well as the comprehensive (综合的) power. In order to realize the century dream of flying in the sky and the strategy (战略) of the nation, COMAC bears the nation’s dream and people’s trust. China considers it as a national pride. 46.

It began during the Western Han Dynasty and has been a bridge between East and West for over 2000 years. The ancient road started from Chang’an(now Xi’an)and ended in Eastern Europe near today’s Turkey and the Mediterranean Sea. It was about 6500 kilometers long and went across one-fourth of the planet. The Silk Road got its name in the 19th century because Chinese silk used to be carried along this road. Silk, jade, ceramics and iron went west to Rome. And from the west came glass, gems and food like carrots. The Silk Road was very important to both China and the rest of the world. It was more than an ancient international trade route. Besides trade, knowledge about arts, science and literature, as well as crafts and technologies was shared across the Silk Road. In this way, languages and cultures developed and influenced each other. Today, China is trying to build the ”21st Century Marine (海洋的) Silk Road“. With the help of APEC held in Beijing in November 2014, the dream of One Belt One Road (一带一路) is coming true. 51. The underlined word ”route“ in Paragraph 1 probably means “________”. A. 方式 B. 路线 C. 成就 D. 关系 52. When did the Silk Road begin? A. In the 19th century. B. In the 18th century. C. During the Western Han Dynasty. D. During the Eastern Han Dynasty. 53.

B Clothes are traditionally made of natural materials, such as cotton, leather and wool. They are all from plants or animals, but that doesn’t mean they’re friendly to the earth. For example, farmers have to use a lot of chemicals to grow cotton plants. Scientists are now looking for new ways to make clothing materials. They hope the new materials are both comfortable and good for the earth. Scientists have worked out how to make materials out of corn husks (壳、荚), chicken feathers and rice straws. “They used to be useless things. We always have a problem of how to deal with them,” Yang, a scientist says, “Now, we can turn them into beautiful materials. Chicken feathers are better than other things. They have small air pockets like honeycombs. That means it will be very warm if you use them to make a jacket or sweater, and I think more and more people will like to buy these kinds of clothes.” 66. Clothes are traditionally made of ________. A. natural materials B. chicken feathers C. rice straws D. corn husks 67. What are the new clothing materials? A. Leather and wool. B. Cotton and wool. C. Corn husks and rice straws. D. Animals’ fur. 68. What does the underlined word “honeycombs” in Paragraph 3 mean in Chinese? A. 鸟巢 B. 蛇穴 C. 渔网 D. 蜂窝 69. Why are chicken feathers better than other materials? A. Because they are from plants. B. Because they are traditional clothing materials. C. Because they have small air pockets like honeycombs. D. Because they are less expensive. 70. What’s the best title of this passage? A. New Clothing Materials B. New Clothes C. Natural Materials D. Traditional Clothing Materials C One cold winter night in Shanghai, I was walking home at 1:00 in the morning after long tiring work. I was having trouble with my job in the bank. As I walked, I thought seriously about giving up living there. City life had became too much for me. As I walked down empty streets, I felt very small and cold. I began running, both to keep warm and to keep away any possible danger. Very few people were still out except a few sad－looking homeless people under blankets (毛毯). Suddenly, I heard a sound behind me. I turned quickly, all I saw was a shining streetlight. Still, the noise had made me nervous, so I started to run faster. When I reached home, I realized what the noise had been. It had been my wallet falling to the sidewalk. Now I wasn’t cold or tired anymore. I ran back to where I’d heard the noise. Although I searched carefully for fifteen minutes, my wallet was nowhere to be found. Just as I was about to give up the search, I heard the garbage truck (垃圾车) come to me. When a voice called from the inside, “Alisa Chen?” I thought I was dreaming. How could this man know my name? The door opened, and out jumped a small red-haired man. “Is this what you’re looking for?” he asked, holding up a small square shape. It was nearly 3:00 a. m. by the time I got into bed. But I had got my wallet back. I also had got back some enjoyment of city life. I realized that the city couldn’t be a bad place as long as people were willing to help each other. 71.

What was the sound behind the writer when she was running down the empty streets? A. Someone called her. B. The sound of her wallet falling to the sidewalk. C. The sound of a garbage truck. D.
