Give me now!” He suddenly said. How I wished I had some with me! “Oh, my little Tom, the monkeys are taking long to come out today. Wait till they smell the peanuts.” I knew he was lost in one of his memories again. I remembered the stories he told me of how he fed the monkeys when he was a kid. Then, he saw the goldfish! He acted as if he was seeing them for the first time. Poor Grandpa! He fell ill with Alzheimer’s disease (阿尔茨海默症) last year. The doctor said it was a lifelong disease which could be harmful to a person’s memory. The patient might also not be able to make reasonable behavior. But when my parents invited him to stay with us, he turned down and said he liked living alone. One day, he forgot to turn off the fire after cooking porridge. Luckily, one of the neighbors came to help him before the fire could spread. It was then that my parents brought Grandpa to live with us. We tried our best to spend as much time as possible with him, including talking about the things happened around him, doing some body exercises and looking through our family photos. Often, he would forget my name and ask me who I was and what I was doing in his house.

We have lost most of natural resources, and now we are going to lose animals! Natural competition happens when species (物种) compete for food and living places. An example of an animal species affected by this is the dinosaur that die out. We have caused animals to be in danger too. The pollution that we create destroys many animals’ living places like the sea turtle. Over hunting is also a huge threat. When people over hunt, they catch too many of an animal species, so either not many animals are left, or no animals are left at all. Examples of some overhunted animals are the Bali tiger. Cutting down trees is also very dangerous for animals. It leaves them with no place to live, such as many species in the Amazon Rainforest. Many organizations such as WWF (World Wildlife Fund) are doing something to protect animals and the environment. They try to protect the living places of many endangered animals. They do studies on the species and they educate people. Zoos also help. They let many endangered species live in a healthy and safe environment. Sometimes zoos might even let an endangered animal go back into the wild to try to raise population numbers again. Not only the big organizations but also you can help. You can give away money or you can volunteer, or you can do the simplest thing of all—CARE FOR THE ENVIRONMENT! 36. What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A. The pollution. B. Natural competition. C. The waste of food. D. The less living space. 37. What made the Bali tiger be in danger? A. Having no enough living places. B. The pollution. C. Human’s over hunting. D. The bad weather. 38. What do many organizations do for endangered animals according to the passage? ①They try to protect the places where the animals live. ②They do some studies on the animals. ③They stop people from eating meat. ④They make people know the problem. A. ①③④ B. ①②④ C. ①②③ D. ②③④ 39. Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage? A. B. C. D. 40. What’s the purpose of the text? A. Let people know how they influence animals. B. Introduce some animals that have no living space. C. Call for people to protect endangered animals. D. Show what some organizations did for animals. 【答案】36. B 37. C 38. B 39. C 40. C 【解析】 【导语】本文通过介绍动物们所面临的困境和保护动物组织所采取的措施来鼓励人们保护濒危动物。 【36题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“Natural competition happens when species (物种) compete for food and living places. An example of an animal species affected by this is the dinosaur that die out.”可知当物种争夺食物和生存场所时，自然竞争就会发生，受此影响的动物物种的一个例子是灭绝的恐龙，“this” 指的是自然竞争。故选B。 【37题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Examples of some overhunted animals are the Bali tiger”可知，巴厘虎濒危的原因是过度捕猎。故选C。 【38题详解】 细节理解题。根据“They try to protect the living places of many endangered animals.

Fully two thirds of the world’s high speed rail (by length) is in China. Here, we track the exciting technological developments in high speed rail and consider their cultural influence. While the main advantage of the high speed rail lines is convenience for people to get from one city to another as quickly as possible, some of these high speed lines have become popular tourist attractions (places that many tourists visit). A good example of this is the Hefei-Fuzhou high speed line. Technically speaking, this was one of the most challenging high speed rail routes ever built; nearly 90% of the track was laid either on bridges or in tunnels. However, the amazing views are worth it, as the train goes through some of China’s most beautiful mountainous areas, including the Huangshan and the Wuyi Mountain Ranges. As China has gained skills and knowledge in high speed rail, it is trying to export its technology to other countries. Its first project on the international market was the line connecting Istanbul with Turkey’s capital, Ankara, 530 kilometers away. This was followed by projects among other countries. Perhaps its most challenging project is a Trans-Asian network connecting China with European countries. Although it is difficult, China will make every effort to take on this plan. It is hoped to be completed by 2030 as a part of China’s Belt and Road Initiative (倡议). Thanks to high speed rail, the travel time between main cities in China has already been reduced to only a few hours. So this convenience should improve the development within and out of China. No doubt, it will also bring the people of the country closer together, and in time bring about deep social changes. 41. How many kilometers will the high speed track increase by next year in China? A. About 38,000. B. Over 68,000. C. Over 30,000. D. About 8,000. 42. Why does the writer talk about the Hefei-Fuzhou line in Paragraph 2? A. To prove how fast the high speed lines can be. B. To point out how convenient the high speed lines are. C. To explain high speed lines can be popular tourist attractions. D. To show the technical development of the high speed lines. 43. What does the underlined word “network” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A. road. B. system. C. line. D. point. 44. What advantage of the high speed rail is mentioned in the text? A. Stepping toward the peace B. Reducing the travel time C. Making tourism cheaper D. Making agreement 45. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. Racing on track B. Great Changes in China C. Rising China in the World D. High Speed Rail in the World 【答案】41. D 42. C 43. B 44. B 45. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了中国高铁的发展现状及其对国内外的影响，包括高铁线路的便利性、旅游吸引力以及中国在国际市场上的高铁技术输出。 【41题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“China now has more than 30,000 kilometers of high speed track, and this is expected to increase to 38,000 kilometers by the end of 2025.”可知，中国目前拥有3万多公里的高速铁路，预计到2025年底将增加到3.8万公里，也就是明年会增加约38000-30000=8000公里，故选D。 【42题详解】 推理判断题。根据上文“some of these high speed lines have become popular tourist attractions”和本段“A good example of this is the Hefei-Fuzhou high speed line.”可知，本段谈到合肥至福州高铁，主要是解释为什么某些高铁线路会成为受欢迎的旅游胜地。故选C。 【43题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“connecting China with European countries”可知，此处说的是连接中国和欧洲国家的泛亚网络，“network”的意思是“系统”，故选B。 【44题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Thanks to high speed rail, the travel time between main cities in China has already been reduced to only a few hours.”可知，关于高铁的一个优势是降低了行驶时间，故选B。 【45题详解】 标题判断题。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了中国高铁的发展现状及其对国内外的影响，所以“轨道上的竞速”符合要求，生动体现了高铁快速发展的主题，既贴合内容又有概括性。故选A。 E 阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的五个选项中选出能填入短文空白处的最佳选项，使短文通顺、连贯，意思完整。 How many girls think they are beautiful or pretty? Only 4 in 10, according to a recent survey of 11,500 girls. Of the rest, 19% said they were not pretty, and another 40% said they were not sure.

In western countries like the US, one of the most popular is leaving a tooth under a pillow (枕头) for the Tooth Fairy (仙子). Here are three other interesting tooth traditions for you to know. Toss the Tooth in the Air Many children in the Middle East don’t leave their teeth for a fairy. Instead, they go outside and toss their teeth up in the air, aiming for the sun. It’s said to be helpful for the growth of new teeth. They may also be much stronger than before. Toss the Tooth on the Roof (屋顶) In India, kids will toss the bottom teeth on the roof. However, the upper ones are placed somewhere low, such as under the bed. The teeth are hoped to be taken by a bird or a mouse. This is believed to make sure that new ones grow as fast as possible. Hide That Tooth In Nepal, if a bird steals your baby’s teeth, it’s considered bad luck. So children will hide their teeth in secret places. Kids in Malaysia bury (埋) their teeth in the ground, too. It’s seen as returning the tooth back to nature. In Turkey, children also hide the teeth. Burying a tooth near a hospital is believed to help a child become a doctor. Soccer fields are popular, because everyone wants to be a good player! 26. There are ________ kinds of tooth traditions mentioned in this passage. A. 2 B. 3 C. 4 D. 5 27. Kids in the Middle East toss the teeth in the air to ________. A. be taken by the bird B. have stronger new teeth C. be taken by the fairy D. get sunshine 28. Where do the Indian kids put the upper tooth? A. B. C. D. 29. Kids from ______ do NOT bury the teeth. A. Nepal B. Turkey C. the US D. Malaysia 30. Where can we read the text? A. Fairy Tale Book. B. Magazine. C. Tour Guide. D. News. B One pleasant evening, I was holding Grandpa’s hand and taking a walk in the park. “Where are the peanuts? Give me now!” He suddenly said. How I wished I had some with me! “Oh, my little Tom, the monkeys are taking long to come out today. Wait till they smell the peanuts.” I knew he was lost in one of his memories again. I remembered the stories he told me of how he fed the monkeys when he was a kid. Then, he saw the goldfish! He acted as if he was seeing them for the first time. Poor Grandpa! He fell ill with Alzheimer’s disease (阿尔茨海默症) last year. The doctor said it was a lifelong disease which could be harmful to a person’s memory. The patient might also not be able to make reasonable behavior. But when my parents invited him to stay with us, he turned down and said he liked living alone. One day, he forgot to turn off the fire after cooking porridge. Luckily, one of the neighbors came to help him before the fire could spread. It was then that my parents brought Grandpa to live with us. We tried our best to spend as much time as possible with him, including talking about the things happened around him, doing some body exercises and looking through our family photos. Often, he would forget my name and ask me who I was and what I was doing in his house. Each time I would answer softly, “It’s me, Tom, Grandpa!” He had forgotten who I was, but he would always be my beloved grandfather. 31. What did Grandpa want to do in the park? A. Eat peanuts. B. Smell flowers. C. Feed monkeys. D. Find his memories. 32. What would happen to Grandpa according to the doctor? A. His memory could get better. B. He might not behave correctly. C. He had to live by himself. D. He might bring danger to the family. 33. Why did the writer’s parents bring Grandpa to live with them? A. To make sure of his safety. B. To help him remember their names. C. To answer his questions in time. D. To look through their family photos. 34. What may Grandpa NOT do according to the last Paragraph? A. B. C. D. 35. Which of the following best describes the writer? A. Honest. B. Caring. C. Brave. D. Creative. C Don’t you think that we have lost enough? We have lost most of natural resources, and now we are going to lose animals! Natural competition happens when species (物种) compete for food and living places. An example of an animal species affected by this is the dinosaur that die out. We have caused animals to be in danger too. The pollution that we create destroys many animals’ living places like the sea turtle. Over hunting is also a huge threat. When people over hunt, they catch too many of an animal species, so either not many animals are left, or no animals are left at all. Examples of some overhunted animals are the Bali tiger. Cutting down trees is also very dangerous for animals. It leaves them with no place to live, such as many species in the Amazon Rainforest. Many organizations such as WWF (World Wildlife Fund) are doing something to protect animals and the environment. They try to protect the living places of many endangered animals. They do studies on the species and they educate people. Zoos also help. They let many endangered species live in a healthy and safe environment. Sometimes zoos might even let an endangered animal go back into the wild to try to raise population numbers again. Not only the big organizations but also you can help. You can give away money or you can volunteer, or you can do the simplest thing of all—CARE FOR THE ENVIRONMENT! 36. What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A. The pollution. B. Natural competition. C. The waste of food. D. The less living space. 37. What made the Bali tiger be in danger? A. Having no enough living places. B. The pollution. C. Human’s over hunting. D. The bad weather. 38. What do many organizations do for endangered animals according to the passage? ①They try to protect the places where the animals live. ②They do some studies on the animals. ③They stop people from eating meat. ④They make people know the problem. A. ①③④ B. ①②④ C. ①②③ D. ②③④ 39. Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage? A. B. C. D. 40. What’s the purpose of the text? A. Let people know how they influence animals. B. Introduce some animals that have no living space. C. Call for people to protect endangered animals. D. Show what some organizations did for animals. D China now has more than 30,000 kilometers of high speed track, and this is expected to increase to 38,000 kilometers by the end of 2025. Fully two thirds of the world’s high speed rail (by length) is in China. Here, we track the exciting technological developments in high speed rail and consider their cultural influence. While the main advantage of the high speed rail lines is convenience for people to get from one city to another as quickly as possible, some of these high speed lines have become popular tourist attractions (places that many tourists visit). A good example of this is the Hefei-Fuzhou high speed line. Technically speaking, this was one of the most challenging high speed rail routes ever built; nearly 90% of the track was laid either on bridges or in tunnels. However, the amazing views are worth it, as the train goes through some of China’s most beautiful mountainous areas, including the Huangshan and the Wuyi Mountain Ranges. As China has gained skills and knowledge in high speed rail, it is trying to export its technology to other countries. Its first project on the international market was the line connecting Istanbul with Turkey’s capital, Ankara, 530 kilometers away. This was followed by projects among other countries. Perhaps its most challenging project is a Trans-Asian network connecting China with European countries. Although it is difficult, China will make every effort to take on this plan. It is hoped to be completed by 2030 as a part of China’s Belt and Road Initiative (倡议). Thanks to high speed rail, the travel time between main cities in China has already been reduced to only a few hours. So this convenience should improve the development within and out of China. No doubt, it will also bring the people of the country closer together, and in time bring about deep social changes. 41. How many kilometers will the high speed track increase by next year in China? A. About 38,000. B. Over 68,000. C. Over 30,000. D. About 8,000. 42. Why does the writer talk about the Hefei-Fuzhou line in Paragraph 2? A. To prove how fast the high speed lines can be. B. To point out how convenient the high speed lines are. C. To explain high speed lines can be popular tourist attractions. D. To show the technical development of the high speed lines. 43. What does the underlined word “network” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A. road. B. system. C. line. D. point. 44. What advantage of the high speed rail is mentioned in the text? A. Stepping toward the peace B. Reducing the travel time C. Making tourism cheaper D. Making agreement 45. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. Racing on track B. Great Changes in China C. Rising China in the World D. High Speed Rail in the World E 阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的五个选项中选出能填入短文空白处的最佳选项，使短文通顺、连贯，意思完整。 How many girls think they are beautiful or pretty?
