For those who seek a first-class, unique, once-in-a-life-time journey to Egypt, Archaeological Paths specializes in making the dream a reality. Get ready to pack your bags and encounter the wonders of ancient Egypt. A1. THE GREAT PYRAMID (金字塔) OF KHUFU Constructed around 2500 B.C., the Great Pyramid is the last surviving member of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. This monumental (不朽的) feat of engineering took several decades to build and was the tallest human-made structure in the world for 3,800 years. A2. VALLEY OF THE KINGS AND KING TUTS TOMB Situated on the west bank of the Nile near modern-day Luxor, the Valley of the Kings is known to contain 65 tombs built for pharaohs and nobles. In 1979, the Valley of the Kings was named a UNESCO World Heritage site. Currently, only a few out of the 65 tombs are open to the public, but Archaeological Paths guests enjoy exclusive access to many more! A3. LUXOR TEMPLE The majestic Luxor Temple, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is one of the greatest reflections of the pharaohs’ power. Located on the east bank of the Nile in present-day Luxor, the temple’s construction began in the 15th century B.C. and continued for several hundred years with additions by Amenhotep Ⅲ, Tutankhamun and other pharaohs. 1. What can we learn about the Great Pyramid of Khufu? A. It is the oldest structure of the Seven Wonders. B. It took only a few years to complete its construction. C. It was built in the 15th century B.C. D. It was the tallest human-made structure for over 3,800 years. 2. What do LUXOR TEMPLE and VALLEY OF THE KINGS have in common? A. They are all open to the public. B. They are located on the west bank of the Nile. C. They are UNESCO World Heritage sites. D. They are constructed in the same period. 3. Where does this text probably come from? A. A geography textbook. B. A travel brochure. C. A news report. D. A encyclopedia. 【答案】1. D 2. C 3. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文，主要讲述的是关于埃及旅游和古迹的信息。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据A1. THE GREAT PYRAMID (金字塔) OF KHUFU部分“This monumental (不朽的) feat of engineering took several decades to build and was the tallest human-made structure in the world for 3,800 years.(这座巨大的工程壮举花了几十年的时间才建成，是3800年来世界上最高的人造建筑。)”可知，Great Pyramid of Khufu是3800多年来最高的人造建筑。故选D。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据A3. LUXOR TEMPLE部分“The majestic Luxor Temple, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is one of the greatest reflections of the pharaohs’ power.(宏伟的Luxor Temple被联合国教科文组织列为世界遗产，是法老权力最伟大的体现之一。)”和A2. VALLEY OF THE KINGS AND KING TUTS TOMB部分“In 1979, the Valley of the Kings was named a UNESCO World Heritage site.(1979年，Valley of the Kings被联合国教科文组织列为世界遗产。)”可知，LUXOR TEMPLE和VALLEY OF THE KINGS的共同之处是它们是联合国教科文组织世界遗产。故选C。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“Get ready to pack your bags and encounter the wonders of ancient Egypt.(准备好收拾行李，去见识古埃及的奇观吧。)”可知，本文主要讲述的是关于埃及旅游和古迹的信息，因此很可能来自于旅游手册。故选B。 B Michael Follett, the founder of Opal (Outdoor Play and Learning), is passionate about the importance of playing with mud (泥巴). He supports schools to improve play opportunities and stresses the benefits of unorganized outdoor play. Not everyone is so positive about mud, however. A primary school in north Devon with a brand-new mud play area hit the headlines last week after apologizing to parents whose children had gone home muddy after heavy rain. The mud play area at Holsworthy Church, with a digging mud cafe, was part of the school’s outdoor play area. “We felt that our children needed something better at playtime,” said the headteacher, Amy Frost. “As schools we have become quite fearful of allowing our children to take risks…children don’t learn what risk is and how to manage risk.” There’s also research about the benefits of being in contact with mud, just in terms of the biology of what’s in the mud, and how it affects our immune system. Also in terms of sensory things, lots of children now have sensory difficulties. They don’t like the feel of different things. And parents have contributed a lot. Some children are not allowed to touch the mud and are required to wash their hands frequently by their parents, as mud may contain unknown bacteria or other substances which may get their children fall ill. Children had never before seen so much and experienced so little, said Follett. “All of their experiences are secondary, through screens shut in bedrooms. What they’re lacking is real primary experience, touching, feeling. You know that feeling of having a handful of mud and it all coming through your fingers? You’re not going to get that in front of the screen.” 4. What does Amy Frost think about the current attitude of schools towards children’s play? A. It focuses too much on academics. B. It pays more attention to fitness. C. It lacks creativity and practice. D. It is too protective. 5. According to the research, what is the advantage for children to have more access to mud? A. It can relieve stress and have fun. B. It can strengthen their confidence. C. It is beneficial to their physical senses and health. D. It has a profound effect on their mental health. 6. Which of the following is a possible reason for children having sensory difficulties? A. Being afraid to touch the mud. B. Being exposed to enough natural environments. C. Being kept overly clean. D. Spending too much time on electronic devices. 7. What does Follett mean by saying “All of their experiences are secondary, through screens shut in bedrooms”? A. Children are only experiencing things indirectly through screens. B. Children are learning more from screens than from real life. C. Children are not getting enough physical activity. D. Children are not having real primary school experiences. 【答案】4. D 5. C 6. C 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要讲的是玩泥巴的重要性和围绕它产生的争议，包括对其益处的支持和担忧。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“As schools we have become quite fearful of allowing our children to take risks…children don’t learn what risk is and how to manage risk.(作为学校，我们非常害怕让孩子冒险……孩子们不知道什么是风险，也不知道如何管理风险。)”可知，学校现在对待孩子玩耍的态度过于保护，不允许孩子冒险。故选D。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“There’s also research about the benefits of being in contact with mud, just in terms of the biology of what’s in the mud, and how it affects our immune system. Also in terms of sensory things, lots of children now have sensory difficulties.(还有一项研究是关于接触泥浆的好处的，就泥浆中的生物成分而言，以及它如何影响我们的免疫系统。在感官方面，现在很多孩子都有感官障碍。)”可知，根据这项研究，孩子们有更多的机会接触泥巴有利于他们的身体感官和健康。故选C。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Some children are not allowed to touch the mud and are required to wash their hands frequently by their parents, as mud may contain unknown bacteria or other substances which may get their children fall ill.(有些孩子不被允许接触泥土，并且被父母要求经常洗手，因为泥可能含有未知的细菌或其他物质，可能会使他们的孩子生病。)”可知，儿童感觉障碍的可能原因可能是被保持得过于干净。故选C。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“What they’re lacking is real primary experience, touching, feeling. You know that feeling of having a handful of mud and it all coming through your fingers? You’re not going to get that in front of the screen.(他们缺少的是真正的原始体验、触摸和感觉。你知道那种握着一把泥，从指缝里流出来的感觉吗？你不会在屏幕前看到这些。)”可知，Follett说“他们所有的经历都是次要的，通过卧室里的屏幕”的意思是孩子们只是通过屏幕间接地体验事物。故选A。 C You've heard of getting lost in a book. Now, get ready to get lost in a “river of books. ” At Zhongshuge, a bookstore and library in Yangzhou, China, the books go on forever. Or, at least, that's what it looks like, thanks to some incredible architecture and illusion (幻觉). When you walk into Zhongshuge, you' re surrounded on all sides by a tunnel of books. They fill the ceiling, walls, and floor, some even appearing to defy gravity (反重力场). For book lovers, it's a paradise like no other. So how does this magical bookshop do it? Well, an architectural studio called X+ Living designed the inside part of Zhongshuge. The shelves are like a tunnel. The floor is covered with black mirrors, reflecting the shelves above and creating the illusion that the bookshelves continue down past the floor you' re standing on. And there you have it: the dizzying (yet amazing) illusion that the rows of books never end. As it turns out, the store's design has more significance than just a fun illusion. X+ Living wanted to be in honor of the literary (文学的) history of the city of Yangzhou. Yangzhou is full of canals (运河) and rivers, and many of China's literary poets drew inspiration from the flowing water. X+ Living, therefore, combined this concept with Zhongshuge, and tried to create the feel of being immersed in a “river” of books. Once you've picked out a book from the seemingly countless number, head into the equally beautiful reading room. It has enormous ceilings and many comfortable places to sit and appreciate a book. Literary fans, are you ready to move in yet? Book your flight to China to experience this incredible bookstore in person! 8. What is the main feature of Zhongshuge? A. It has an endless supply of books. B. It uses architectural design to create illusions. C. It is shaped like a tunnel underground. D. It defies gravity with its bookshelves. 9. What does the underlined word “dizzying” in paragraph 3 probable mean? A. Attractive. B. Energetic. C. Confusing. D. Unique. 10. How did X+ Living combine Yangzhou's waterways with Zhongshuge? A. By installing a real river inside the bookstore. B. By naming sections of the bookstore after famous Yangzhou canals. C. By creating a sense of being surrounded by a “river” of books. D. By decorating the bookstore with images of Yangzhou's waterways. 11. What is the author's purpose in writing the text? A. To appeal to more book lovers to visit Zhongshuge. B. To stress the importance of history in Zhongshuge's design. C. To describe the popularity of Zhongshuge. D. To explain the process of designing Zhongshuge. 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一家位于中国扬州的书店和图书馆——Zhongshuge，它通过独特的建筑设计创造了一个仿佛书籍无穷无尽的幻觉，给读者带来了前所未有的体验。同时，文中也提到设计背后的深意，即通过“书河”的概念来向扬州丰富的文学历史致敬。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“At Zhongshuge, a bookstore and library in Yangzhou, China, the books go on forever. Or, at least, that's what it looks like, thanks to some incredible architecture and illusion (幻觉) . When you walk into Zhongshuge, you' re surrounded on all sides by a tunnel of books. They fill the ceiling, walls, and floor, some even appearing to defy gravity (反重力场) . For book lovers, it's a paradise like no other(在中国扬州的钟书阁书店和图书馆里，书籍似乎无穷无尽。这至少是它给人的感觉，多亏了令人难以置信的建筑和幻觉效果。当你走进钟书阁时，你会发现自己被书籍构成的隧道所包围，书籍填满了天花板、墙壁和地板，有些甚至看起来违反了重力原理。对于爱书之人来说，这里是一个无与伦比的天堂)”可知，Zhongshuge的主要特色在于其利用建筑技术创造出书籍似乎无止境的幻觉。故选B项。 【9题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第三段划线词下文“illusion that the rows of books never end(书籍排列无尽的错觉)”可知下文提到了错觉，可以推测出，“dizzying”一词在这里表达的意思是令人眼花缭乱或感到困惑的，因为书架看起来像是无限延伸下去，这种效果既让人惊叹又可能让人感到有些迷惑。故选C项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“X+ Living, therefore, combined this concept with Zhongshuge, and tried to create the feel of being immersed in a “river” of books(因此，X+ Living 将这一概念与钟书阁结合起来，试图营造出一种沉浸在书籍“河流”中的感觉)”可知，X+ Living将扬州的水系概念融入到Zhongshuge的设计中，试图营造出一种沉浸在“书河”中的感觉。故选C项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“At Zhongshuge, a bookstore and library in Yangzhou, China, the books go on forever. Or, at least, that's what it looks like, thanks to some incredible architecture and illusion (幻觉) . When you walk into Zhongshuge, you' re surrounded on all sides by a tunnel of books.

Some 8 million metric tons of plastic end up in the ocean each year. At the current pace, the seas may have more plastic than fish by the middle of the century. We are facing severe challenges. Consumers buy a million plastic drinking bottles a minute and use trillions of plastic bags every year. Companies and governments have promised to cut back and reuse more, but even if those targets were met, they’d only reduce the plastic flowing into the ocean by 7% by 2040. Plastic also has a bad effect on the climate. By poisoning crucial wildlife, it’s inhibiting (抑制) the ocean’s ability to act as a natural carbon sink. Demand for plastic drives significant use of oil, natural gas and coal, which threatens efforts to prevent global temperatures from rising by more than 1. 5 degrees. There are many measures that can be taken. First, it’s important to recognize that this is a global problem that requires a global solution. The UN process is off to a promising start: Nearly 200 countries agreed yesterday to work toward a treaty eventually banning plastic pollution. One reasonable aim for the process would be to phase out the harmful single-use kind in the years ahead. This is no small challenge, given how widely such material is used and how critical it is in emerging markets. The good news is that consumer-facing companies are already moving in the right direction, providing increased transparency on plastic consumption. Companies like Bacardi Ltd. — which is experimenting with a new type of plastic bottle that can decompose in a matter of months, under the right conditions — deserve credit for bringing innovation to bear on the problem. The plastic emergency has been building for years. Unfortunately, the world doesn’t have the luxury of time in trying to resolve it. The sooner these efforts start, the better. 12. What is the negative effect of plastic on the climate mentioned in the passage? A. It weakens the ocean’s ability as a carbon sink. B. It directly increases global temperatures. C. It leads to the extinction of ocean wildlife, D. It consumes a large amount of renewable energy. 13. What can we infer from paragraph 3? A. The UN process to address plastic pollution has already achieved great success. B. Emerging markets are not affected by the crisis of plastic pollution. C. Global cooperation is essential to deal with the plastic pollution. D. The harmful single-use plastics are completely banned. 14. What measure does the author suggest to address plastic pollution? A. Leading a more plastic-free life. B. Having innovations about a new type of plastic bottle. C. Making stricter rules on stopping single-use plastic. D. Making joint efforts between countries and companies. 15. What is author’s attitude towards the plastic pollution? A. Promising. B. Urgent. C. Skeptical. D. Unconcerned. 【答案】12. A 13. C 14. C 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章围绕塑料污染问题展开，阐述了塑料污染的严重性，包括对野生动物和气候的危害、塑料流入海洋的情况等，介绍了应对塑料污染的措施，以及如全球合作、企业创新。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Plastic also has a bad effect on the climate. By poisoning crucial wildlife, it’s inhibiting (抑制) the ocean’s ability to act as a natural carbon sink. (塑料对气候也有不良影响。通过毒害关键的野生动物，它抑制了海洋作为天然碳汇的能力。)”可知，塑料对气候的负面影响是削弱了海洋作为天然碳汇的能力，故选A项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“The UN process is off to a promising start: Nearly 200 countries agreed yesterday to work toward a treaty eventually banning plastic pollution. (联合国的进程有了一个充满希望的开端：近200 个国家昨天同意努力达成一项最终禁止塑料污染的条约。)”及“This is no small challenge, given how widely such material is used and how critical it is in emerging markets. (鉴于这种材料的使用如此广泛，以及它在新兴市场中的关键地位，这可不是一个小挑战。)”可知，应对塑料污染需要全球合作，故选C项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“One reasonable aim for the process would be to phase out the harmful single-use kind in the years ahead. (该过程的一个合理目标是在未来几年逐步淘汰有害的一次性使用类型。)”可知，作者建议制定更严格的规定逐步淘汰有害的一次性塑料，故选C项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The plastic emergency has been building for years. Unfortunately, the world doesn’t have the luxury of time in trying to resolve it. The sooner these efforts start, the better. (塑料污染问题已经持续多年。不幸的是，世界没有投入足够的时间来解决这个问题。这些努力越早开始越好。)”可以看出作者认为塑料污染问题度是紧迫、急需解决的，故选B项。 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Reading body language, or non-verbal cues, is a way to infer things about people you see around you or have interactions with.

If a guy you know usually keeps his hands to himself, but keeps finding reasons to touch you, it might mean you are special to him. ___18___ People are diverse. Cultural norms and developmental disabilities can influence someone’s body language. For instance, if you assume that people who avoid eye contact are always untrustworthy, you’re going to misjudge a lot of innocent people. Pay attention to multiple cues before you jump to conclusions. It’s easy to misread small things. ___19___ It’s especially important to be cautious before accusing someone of lying or cheating. If you’re wrong, you may fail to build good relationships with others and hurt their feelings, so don’t rush into it. Don’t be afraid to ask people what’s up. Asking questions can help you understand them and can even bring you closer. ___20___ Here is an example of things you could say: “Hey, I’m getting the impression you might be avoiding Pat.

Invite people to tell you what’s going on with them. D. Everyone has their own unique habits. E. That’s why we’ve brought our best proposals to help. F. It enables you to have a better mood. G.

To make 40. analysis 41. a 42. that 43. are 44. containing 45. in 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了药膳食疗的重要性及其制作考虑因素。 【36题详解】 考查副词。句意：药膳在我们的生活中扮演着重要的角色，人们越来越关注他们的健康和中医。空格处用副词修饰形容词concerned，increase的副词是increasingly，意为“越来越多地”，故填increasingly。 【37题详解】 考查动词语态。句意：药膳既可用于治疗疾病，也可用于健康人增进健康和预防疾病。药膳被用来治疗疾病，句子用被动语态，空前有情态动词can，因此空格处用be done，故填be used。 【38题详解】 考查连词。句意：药膳虽然是一种温和的食物，但它对预防和治疗疾病、增强和保持健康有很大的作用。根据语境可知，句子表示“药膳虽然是一种温和的食物，但它对预防和治疗疾病、增强和保持健康有很大的作用”，空格处意为“虽然”，用although/though/while引导让步状语从句，位于句首，首字母大写，故填Although/Though/While。 【39题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：要做药膳，首先要对病人的身体健康状况、疾病的性质、发病的季节、地理条件等进行综合分析，形成合适的判断，然后选择合适的药膳。根据语境可知，句子表示“要做药膳，首先要对病人的身体健康状况、疾病的性质、发病的季节、地理条件等进行综合分析”，空格处用不定式表目的，位于句首的单词首字母大写，故填To make。 【40题详解】 考查名词。句意：做药膳，首先要对病人的身体健康状况、疾病的性质、发病的季节、地理条件等进行综合分析，形成合适的判断，然后选择合适的药膳。overall是形容词，修饰名词，analyze的名词是analysis，意为“分析”，空前有an，空格处用单数，故填analysis。 【41题详解】 考查冠词。句意：做药膳，首先要对病人的身体健康状况、疾病的性质、发病的季节、地理条件等进行综合分析，形成合适的判断，然后选择合适的药膳。judgment是可数名词的单数形式，表泛指，前面要加不定冠词，suitable是辅音音素开头，因此不定冠词用a，故填a。 【42题详解】 考查主语从句。句意：在中国人中有种说法，即“良药苦口”，因为中药的汤剂大都是苦的。It是形式主语，此处是主语从句，从句中不缺成分，且句子意思完整，因此用that引导主语从句，故填that。 【43题详解】 考查时态和主谓一致。句意：药膳中使用的药物大多既安全又有益，并保持了食物的特征：颜色、香味等。句子描述客观事实，时态用一般现在时，主语Most of the drugs是复数，因此空格处用are，故填are。 【44题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：即使含有中草药，也要考虑到它们的性质和味道，将这些草药与食物混合并精心烹饪，制成美味的药膳。句中谓语是“are taken into consideration and these herbs are made into”，空格处用非谓语动词，contain的逻辑主语是前一句中的drugs，和contain之间是主谓关系，因此空格处用现在分词表主动，故填containing。 【45题详解】 考查介词。句意：因此药膳口味好，服用方便。be good in是固定用法，意为“在……方面好”，因此空格处用介词in，故填in。 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 46. 假设你是李华，你的英国朋友Max提到他对中国科学家很感兴趣，并请你介绍一位你喜欢的中国科学家。请你给Max写一封邮件，内容包括： 1. 该人物是谁； 2. 该人物的主要贡献； 3. 该人物对你的影响。 注意： 1. 写作词数应为80左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Dear Max, ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours sincerely, Li Hua 【答案】Dear Max, I’m thrilled to hear that you’re interested in Chinese scientists!

Superhero-style jerseys, decorated with bold colors and the logos of everyone’s favorite heroes. They were cool, flashy and expensive. Almost everyone preordered one, except for Dylan. Dylan lived with his grandmother, Mrs. Hargrove, in a cozy little house. Money was tight, but they made do. When Dylan saw the jerseys at school, he couldn’t help but want one. “Grandma, can I get one superhero jersey?” he said one afternoon. Mrs. Hargrove looked at the price tag online and frowned. “Dylan, I’m afraid we can’t afford one.” Dylan’s face fell, but he forced a smile. “That’s okay, Grandma. I understand.” But Mrs. Hargrove couldn’t bear to see him disappointed. That night, she stayed up all night, her fingers moving quickly as she crafted (精心制作) a homemade jersey with all the love she had. By morning, she was tired but satisfied. At breakfast, she presented the jersey to Dylan. “I couldn’t buy you the one from the store, but I made you this,” she said, her eyes shining with hope. Dylan felt down when he saw the jersey. It wasn’t at all like the store-bought ones. It was a bright, hand-made sweater with a superhero that wasn’t exactly perfect. But seeing the look in grandmother’s eyes, Dylan forced a smiling face. So, on Monday, Dylan put on the homemade jersey and walked to school, hoping no one would notice. But as soon as he entered the classroom, some kids joked. “Nice sweater, Dylan. Did your grandma make it?” Dylan tried to ignore them, but the comments kept coming. By lunchtime, he couldn’t take it anymore. He ran home and buist into his grandmother’s arms. “They said the jersey looks stupid,” he cried noisily. Mrs. Hargrove held him close. “Dylan, I never wanted to make things harder for you.” she whispered. Meanwhile, Mr. Pickford, their beloved teacher, heard about what had happened.

Dylan’s grandmother made him a jersey with all her love. It’s not just a piece of clothing; it’s a symbol of love and care. Let’s show some respect and appreciation.” Dylan’s eyes widened in shock. The class erupted in applause, and for the first time, Dylan felt proud of his grandmother’s work.           By the end of the day, kids were lining up to ask Dylan if his grandmother could craft jerseys for them as well. They admired the unique design and the love that went into each stitch. Dylan couldn’t believe the turn of events. He felt a sense of joy and accomplishment, knowing that his grandmother’s hard work had been recognized and appreciated. He couldn’t wait to tell her the good news.

Get ready to pack your bags and encounter the wonders of ancient Egypt. A1. THE GREAT PYRAMID (金字塔) OF KHUFU Constructed around 2500 B.C., the Great Pyramid is the last surviving member of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.

B Michael Follett, the founder of Opal (Outdoor Play and Learning), is passionate about the importance of playing with mud (泥巴). He supports schools to improve play opportunities and stresses the benefits of unorganized outdoor play. Not everyone is so positive about mud, however. A primary school in north Devon with a brand-new mud play area hit the headlines last week after apologizing to parents whose children had gone home muddy after heavy rain. The mud play area at Holsworthy Church, with a digging mud cafe, was part of the school’s outdoor play area. “We felt that our children needed something better at playtime,” said the headteacher, Amy Frost. “As schools we have become quite fearful of allowing our children to take risks…children don’t learn what risk is and how to manage risk.” There’s also research about the benefits of being in contact with mud, just in terms of the biology of what’s in the mud, and how it affects our immune system. Also in terms of sensory things, lots of children now have sensory difficulties. They don’t like the feel of different things. And parents have contributed a lot. Some children are not allowed to touch the mud and are required to wash their hands frequently by their parents, as mud may contain unknown bacteria or other substances which may get their children fall ill. Children had never before seen so much and experienced so little, said Follett. “All of their experiences are secondary, through screens shut in bedrooms. What they’re lacking is real primary experience, touching, feeling. You know that feeling of having a handful of mud and it all coming through your fingers? You’re not going to get that in front of the screen.” 4. What does Amy Frost think about the current attitude of schools towards children’s play? A. It focuses too much on academics. B. It pays more attention to fitness. C. It lacks creativity and practice. D. It is too protective. 5. According to the research, what is the advantage for children to have more access to mud? A. It can relieve stress and have fun. B. It can strengthen their confidence. C. It is beneficial to their physical senses and health. D. It has a profound effect on their mental health. 6. Which of the following is a possible reason for children having sensory difficulties? A. Being afraid to touch the mud. B. Being exposed to enough natural environments. C. Being kept overly clean. D. Spending too much time on electronic devices. 7. What does Follett mean by saying “All of their experiences are secondary, through screens shut in bedrooms”? A. Children are only experiencing things indirectly through screens. B. Children are learning more from screens than from real life. C. Children are not getting enough physical activity. D. Children are not having real primary school experiences. C You've heard of getting lost in a book. Now, get ready to get lost in a “river of books. ” At Zhongshuge, a bookstore and library in Yangzhou, China, the books go on forever. Or, at least, that's what it looks like, thanks to some incredible architecture and illusion (幻觉). When you walk into Zhongshuge, you' re surrounded on all sides by a tunnel of books. They fill the ceiling, walls, and floor, some even appearing to defy gravity (反重力场). For book lovers, it's a paradise like no other. So how does this magical bookshop do it? Well, an architectural studio called X+ Living designed the inside part of Zhongshuge. The shelves are like a tunnel. The floor is covered with black mirrors, reflecting the shelves above and creating the illusion that the bookshelves continue down past the floor you' re standing on. And there you have it: the dizzying (yet amazing) illusion that the rows of books never end. As it turns out, the store's design has more significance than just a fun illusion. X+ Living wanted to be in honor of the literary (文学的) history of the city of Yangzhou. Yangzhou is full of canals (运河) and rivers, and many of China's literary poets drew inspiration from the flowing water. X+ Living, therefore, combined this concept with Zhongshuge, and tried to create the feel of being immersed in a “river” of books. Once you've picked out a book from the seemingly countless number, head into the equally beautiful reading room. It has enormous ceilings and many comfortable places to sit and appreciate a book. Literary fans, are you ready to move in yet? Book your flight to China to experience this incredible bookstore in person! 8. What is the main feature of Zhongshuge? A. It has an endless supply of books. B. It uses architectural design to create illusions. C. It is shaped like a tunnel underground. D. It defies gravity with its bookshelves. 9. What does the underlined word “dizzying” in paragraph 3 probable mean? A. Attractive. B. Energetic. C. Confusing. D. Unique. 10. How did X+ Living combine Yangzhou's waterways with Zhongshuge? A. By installing a real river inside the bookstore. B. By naming sections of the bookstore after famous Yangzhou canals. C. By creating a sense of being surrounded by a “river” of books. D. By decorating the bookstore with images of Yangzhou's waterways. 11. What is the author's purpose in writing the text? A. To appeal to more book lovers to visit Zhongshuge. B. To stress the importance of history in Zhongshuge's design. C. To describe the popularity of Zhongshuge. D. To explain the process of designing Zhongshuge. D The dangers of excessive plastic — from harming wildlife to worsening climate change — are serious. Some 8 million metric tons of plastic end up in the ocean each year. At the current pace, the seas may have more plastic than fish by the middle of the century. We are facing severe challenges. Consumers buy a million plastic drinking bottles a minute and use trillions of plastic bags every year. Companies and governments have promised to cut back and reuse more, but even if those targets were met, they’d only reduce the plastic flowing into the ocean by 7% by 2040. Plastic also has a bad effect on the climate. By poisoning crucial wildlife, it’s inhibiting (抑制) the ocean’s ability to act as a natural carbon sink. Demand for plastic drives significant use of oil, natural gas and coal, which threatens efforts to prevent global temperatures from rising by more than 1. 5 degrees. There are many measures that can be taken. First, it’s important to recognize that this is a global problem that requires a global solution. The UN process is off to a promising start: Nearly 200 countries agreed yesterday to work toward a treaty eventually banning plastic pollution. One reasonable aim for the process would be to phase out the harmful single-use kind in the years ahead. This is no small challenge, given how widely such material is used and how critical it is in emerging markets. The good news is that consumer-facing companies are already moving in the right direction, providing increased transparency on plastic consumption. Companies like Bacardi Ltd. — which is experimenting with a new type of plastic bottle that can decompose in a matter of months, under the right conditions — deserve credit for bringing innovation to bear on the problem. The plastic emergency has been building for years. Unfortunately, the world doesn’t have the luxury of time in trying to resolve it. The sooner these efforts start, the better. 12. What is the negative effect of plastic on the climate mentioned in the passage? A. It weakens the ocean’s ability as a carbon sink. B. It directly increases global temperatures. C. It leads to the extinction of ocean wildlife, D. It consumes a large amount of renewable energy. 13. What can we infer from paragraph 3? A. The UN process to address plastic pollution has already achieved great success. B. Emerging markets are not affected by the crisis of plastic pollution. C. Global cooperation is essential to deal with the plastic pollution. D. The harmful single-use plastics are completely banned. 14. What measure does the author suggest to address plastic pollution? A. Leading a more plastic-free life. B. Having innovations about a new type of plastic bottle. C. Making stricter rules on stopping single-use plastic. D. Making joint efforts between countries and companies. 15. What is author’s attitude towards the plastic pollution? A. Promising. B. Urgent. C. Skeptical. D. Unconcerned. 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Reading body language, or non-verbal cues, is a way to infer things about people you see around you or have interactions with.

The latest must-have item? Superhero-style jerseys, decorated with bold colors and the logos of everyone’s favorite heroes. They were cool, flashy and expensive. Almost everyone preordered one, except for Dylan. Dylan lived with his grandmother, Mrs. Hargrove, in a cozy little house. Money was tight, but they made do. When Dylan saw the jerseys at school, he couldn’t help but want one. “Grandma, can I get one superhero jersey?” he said one afternoon. Mrs. Hargrove looked at the price tag online and frowned. “Dylan, I’m afraid we can’t afford one.” Dylan’s face fell, but he forced a smile. “That’s okay, Grandma. I understand.” But Mrs. Hargrove couldn’t bear to see him disappointed. That night, she stayed up all night, her fingers moving quickly as she crafted (精心制作) a homemade jersey with all the love she had. By morning, she was tired but satisfied. At breakfast, she presented the jersey to Dylan. “I couldn’t buy you the one from the store, but I made you this,” she said, her eyes shining with hope. Dylan felt down when he saw the jersey. It wasn’t at all like the store-bought ones. It was a bright, hand-made sweater with a superhero that wasn’t exactly perfect. But seeing the look in grandmother’s eyes, Dylan forced a smiling face. So, on Monday, Dylan put on the homemade jersey and walked to school, hoping no one would notice. But as soon as he entered the classroom, some kids joked. “Nice sweater, Dylan. Did your grandma make it?” Dylan tried to ignore them, but the comments kept coming. By lunchtime, he couldn’t take it anymore. He ran home and buist into his grandmother’s arms. “They said the jersey looks stupid,” he cried noisily. Mrs. Hargrove held him close. “Dylan, I never wanted to make things harder for you.” she whispered. Meanwhile, Mr. Pickford, their beloved teacher, heard about what had happened. He was known for his kindness and ability for turning bad situations around. He visited Mrs. Hargrove that very evening. 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。 The following day, Dylan walked with heavy steps to school, worrying what the day might bring. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ By the end of the day, kids were lining up to ask Dylan if his grandmother could craft jerseys for them as well. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
