In 1937, my father, who was almost 20 years old, started a long journey. He traveled a thousand miles across China with his university, Zhejiang University, during the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression (抗日战争). The Chinese government wanted to keep the university students safe because they were important for the country’s future. As the university planned for the journey, the Head Librarian of Zhejiang Library, asked the university to take a collection of books with them.
The books were called “Siku Quanshu”. Created in the 18th century, this was a huge encyclopedia (百科全书) with 2.3 million pages and about 997 million words. It was so important that plans were made to protect it at any cost, even though it added another 230 boxes to the students’ cargo.
The journey was not easy. Students and teachers were facing the dangers from air attacks. They were always tired and hungry. They had to sleep on the ground in old temples but they continued their classes whenever they could. To protect the books, they tried to move by boat or truck whenever possible; at other times, they would put the boxes into carts (手推车). Sometimes the students had to carry some of the books in their backpacks. One scary moment was when a box of the Siku Quanshu books fell into a river. They quickly saved the books and dried them in a local temple.
After 1,400 miles and 28 months on the road, the university group finally reached a small town called Zunyi in Guizhou province. They stayed there in simple classrooms and dorms, until the war moved deeper into China. To further protect the Siku Quanshu, the books were hidden in a nearby cave, guarded by university staff. The books made it through the war in surprisingly good condition and were sent back to Zhejiang Library.
This amazing story shows how a group of young students and their teachers did everything they could to protect their culture’s treasures. They faced many dangers and hardships, but they never gave up. They worked together to keep their knowledge safe.
54. What does the underlined word “cargo” in Parapraph 2 probably mean?
A. Things that you carry when traveling.
B. Books giving information about all areas of knowledge.
C. Places for hiding important things.
D. Money that you need in order to do something.
55. Which challenge is NOT mentioned in the passage during the journey?
A. Poor transportation. B. Dangers from attacks. C. Terrible weather. D. Bad living conditions.
56. Which of the following is TRUE about the Siku Quanshu?
A. It was created by Zhejiang University. B. It was well-protected during the war.
C. It was a collection of 997 books. D. It was sent back to Zunyi after the war.
57. Which is the best title for the passage?
A. Protecting China: My Father’s Brave Move During War
B. Staying Strong: How to Protect Yourself in the Time of War
C. Siku Quanshu: Treasures Lost and Found in the War
D. A Long Journey: How Zhejiang University Saved Important Books

①Foreigners like growing flowers in the garden and enjoy the nice smell in spring. However, Chinese people prefer growing vegetables and get a harvest in autumn. For Chinese, bottles, even plastic bags are perfect for growing vegetables.
②It’s said that there is a “vegetable gene (基因)” in every Chinese people. After all, they have farmed for thousands of years and gained rich experience in growing vegetables.
③A group of parents of Chinese students once grew vegetables at Yale University in the USA. This area used to be covered with weeds (杂草). To help change the situation, these Chinese parents worked together and finally turned weeds into vegetables.

⑤The soldiers (士兵) on the islands of the South China Sea also created a vegetable garden through their own efforts. It used to be difficult for the soldiers to eat fresh vegetables on the islands. But recently, they harvested 750 kg of vegetables on sandy beaches. Everyone was excited.
⑥With the development of the science and technology in China, Chinese people have grown vegetables all over the world, from Europe to Africa, the days of planting potatoes on Mars (火星) will not be far away.
58. How does the writer start the passage?

Research recently published in the journal Science studied land subsidence (地面沉降) in China’s major cities, raising people’s worries about land sinking in the country.
However, Hu Xie, co-author of the study, said this idea isn’t right scientifically. “Almost every city has areas of sinking and uplift (上升),” Hu told the Intellectual, a new science and technology media. The sinking of certain areas in a city does not mean the whole city is sinking. Human activities, like digging to build or taking out groundwater, are often the reason for it. What matters is how the areas are influenced and how quickly the land changes.
In fact, during times of fast economic development, the rate of land subsidence in China has been much slower compared to other countries.
For example, in San Jose, California, US, certain areas sank by 1.2 meters between 1912 and 1933. This was the time when the area quickly developed. The subsidence rate in Tokyo, Japan, even reached 27 centimeters a year during the 1950s. However, the subsidence rates in major Chinese cities are still around a few millimeters a year.
Even so, the government has taken measures to slow down the sinking. The key is not taking out too much water from the ground. The South-to-North Water Diversion Project (南水北调工程) is offering a helping hand to the country’s northern cities. Through this project, less water from the ground is used in northern areas and land subsidence in many areas of Beijing and Tianjin has stopped.
Shanghai has also reduced yearly ground subsidence from around 10 mm in 1995 to 6 mm in 2019 through efforts such as improving the water supply system (供水系统) and closing deep wells (井), according to The Paper.
62. Hu Xie might agree that ________.
A nearly half of China’s cities are sinking B. land subsidence is not a problem at all
C. the sinking of certain areas matters most D. many cities have areas of sinking and uplift
63. What is the major cause of land subsidence in China according to the passage?
A. Water pollution. B. High buildings.
C. The use of groundwater. D. The South-to-North Water Diversion Project.
64. What measure has Shanghai taken to stop land subsidence?
A. Using less groundwater. B. Using water from southern cities.
C. Encouraging people to use more water. D. Using recycled water.
65. What is the purpose of the passage?
A. To show the rate of land subsidence in China.
B. To introduce the South-to-North Water Diversion Project.
C. To explain the different causes of land subsidence.
D. To discuss land subsidence and present solutions.

Another rich man in Venice was Shylock. He became rich by lending money to others and making them pay interest (利息). While Antonio thought it wrong to make people pay interest. He said the rich should help the poor. Shylock was very angry about this because many people went to borrow money from Antonio instead of borrowing from him. This meant that Shylock earned less money.
When Bassanio visited Shylock, he asked Shylock to lend him three thousand gold coins and said he would pay it back in three months. “How do I know you can pay it back?” asked Shylock. “My friend Antonio will help me. If I do not pay you in three months, he will do it for me,” Bassanio said. Shylock turned to smile. Perhaps this would be a chance.
So Shylock went to visit Antonio at once. When seeing him, Shylock couldn’t help thinking how much he hated him. However, he did not show his hatred. He tried to be friendly. “It’s three thousand gold coins for three months, isn’t it?” Antonio and Bassanio agreed. “What interest will you pay?” Shylock asked. Before long, Antonio and Shylock were arguing about interest. Antonio called Shylock some bad names. Bassanio was worried and stopped Antonio.
Antonio said sorry to Shylock. “If you lend us this money,” pleased Antonio, “I will not call you bad names.”
Shylock pretended to be surprised. “Come with me to the judge,” said Shylock, “so that he can write the contract. I will lend you the money for three months. You will pay no interest. Just for fun, however, let’s agree that if you do not pay me on time, you will give me one pound of your flesh from wherever I choose to take it!”
Antonio agreed. He was certain that he was able to pay back the money on time. “My ships come back a whole month before we have to pay the money.”

二、单项选择(共 15 小题;每小题 1 分,计 15 分)
在下列各题 A、B、C、D 四个选项中选择一个能填入题干空白处的最佳答案.

A. a; an B. an; a C. a; a D. an; an
【答案】A
【解析】
【分析】
【详解】句意:他今年夏天从一所大学毕业,幸运地找到了一份不寻常的工作。
考查冠词的用法。a不定冠词,表泛指,用于辅音音素开头的单词或字母前;an不定冠词,表泛指,用于元音音素开头的单词或字母前;the定冠词,表特指。第一空,此处表示泛指一所大学,且“university”是辅音音素开头的单词,应用不定冠词a;第二空,此处表示泛指一份不寻常的工作,且“unusual”是元音音素开头的单词,应用不定冠词an。故选A。
22. Wars are disasters. A lot of people will lose their homes whenever a terrible war_____.
A. breaks out B. is broken out
C. breaks down D. is broken down
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:战争是灾难。当可怕的战争爆发时,许多人将失去家园。
考查动词短语。breaks out爆发;breaks down分解。Whenever引导时间状语从句时,主句用将来时,从句用一般现在时,而不及物动词没有被动语态,所以BD表达错误。结合“a terrible war”可知,这里是指战争爆发。故选A。
23. —_______ heavy snow! How can we go to work today? — _______ it is snowing heavily, let’s walk instead of driving.
A. What; Because B. What a; Since C. How; As D. How a; Though
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:——多么大的一场雪啊!今天我们怎样去上班啊?——既然雪下的那么大,让我们步行吧,别开车了。
考查感叹句和连词。空一所在句是感叹句,snow是名词,这里表示“一场雪”,符合“What+a/an+形容词+名词+(主谓)!”结构,heavy是辅音音素开头的单词,所以用不定冠词a;because因为;since既然;as因为;though尽管。根据句意可知,空二所在句表示既然下大雪,那就步行吧,since符合语境。故选B。
24. The show we paid attention to ________ successful finally.
A. to prove B. proved C. prove D. proving
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:我们所关注的那场演出最终证明是成功的。

A to repair; repaired B. repairing; repaired C. to be repaired; repair D. to repairing; repaired

考查非谓语动词。repair修理,动词原型;repairing修理,(repair现在分词或动名词);repaired修理,(repair过去式和过去分词)。根据“The old radios require...”可知,应用“sth. require doing”或“sth. require to be done”表示“某事需要被……”,排除A、D;根据“have them...”可知,应用“have sth done”表示“让某事被做”,排除C。故选B。
26. —So many teenager are sitting in the stands. ________ will the lecture begin?

【详解】句意:——这么多青少年坐在看台上。讲座什么时候开始?——直到七点四十五分。
考查特殊疑问句及介词用法。When什么时候;How long多久;Not until直到……才;Until直到……为止。第一空,根据答语“…a quarter to eight.”可知,此处是针对时间提问,应用when作疑问词;第二个空,begin为瞬间动词,应用not until,这里是省略句,完整的句子应该是“The lecture will not begin until a quarter to eight.”。故选A。

【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意:——Millie在化学考试中取得了如此大的进步,以至于她的老师感觉很惊讶。——除非她足够努力,否则她很难得高分。
考查状语从句。so如此,修饰形容词或副词;such如此,修饰名词;until直到;before在……之前;while当……时;unless除非。make progress表示“取得进步”,progress是不可数名词,用such修饰;“she works hard enough”是“It’s hard for her to get high marks”的否定条件,用unless引导条件状语从句。故选D。

考查语态和介词词义辨析。第一空,主语teenagers和谓语动词encourage之间是被动关系,根据“Nowadays”可知,此处用一般现在时的被动语态am/is/are done,主语为teenagers,be动词用are。故填are encouraged;第二空,through强调通过某种途径;by强调通过某种方式或手段,由“labor education”可知,through符合语境。故选B。

A. the number of B. a number of C. a great deal D. a great deal of
【答案】D
【解析】

考查形容词短语。the number of……的数量;a number of许多,修饰可数名词复数;a great deal大量,后可以不加名词,用作副词,相当于a lot或much;a great deal of大量的,修饰不可数名词。根据“On November 11th, many people spend...money shopping online.”可知,双11是购物节,故此处指花许多钱,money是不可数名词,用a great deal of修饰。故选D。

B
In 1937, my father, who was almost 20 years old, started a long journey. He traveled a thousand miles across China with his university, Zhejiang University, during the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression (抗日战争). The Chinese government wanted to keep the university students safe because they were important for the country’s future. As the university planned for the journey, the Head Librarian of Zhejiang Library, asked the university to take a collection of books with them.
The books were called “Siku Quanshu”. Created in the 18th century, this was a huge encyclopedia (百科全书) with 2.3 million pages and about 997 million words. It was so important that plans were made to protect it at any cost, even though it added another 230 boxes to the students’ cargo.
The journey was not easy. Students and teachers were facing the dangers from air attacks. They were always tired and hungry. They had to sleep on the ground in old temples but they continued their classes whenever they could. To protect the books, they tried to move by boat or truck whenever possible; at other times, they would put the boxes into carts (手推车). Sometimes the students had to carry some of the books in their backpacks. One scary moment was when a box of the Siku Quanshu books fell into a river. They quickly saved the books and dried them in a local temple.
After 1,400 miles and 28 months on the road, the university group finally reached a small town called Zunyi in Guizhou province. They stayed there in simple classrooms and dorms, until the war moved deeper into China. To further protect the Siku Quanshu, the books were hidden in a nearby cave, guarded by university staff. The books made it through the war in surprisingly good condition and were sent back to Zhejiang Library.
This amazing story shows how a group of young students and their teachers did everything they could to protect their culture’s treasures. They faced many dangers and hardships, but they never gave up. They worked together to keep their knowledge safe.
54. What does the underlined word “cargo” in Parapraph 2 probably mean?
A. Things that you carry when traveling.
B. Books giving information about all areas of knowledge.
C. Places for hiding important things.
D. Money that you need in order to do something.
55. Which challenge is NOT mentioned in the passage during the journey?
A. Poor transportation. B. Dangers from attacks. C. Terrible weather. D. Bad living conditions.
56. Which of the following is TRUE about the Siku Quanshu?
A. It was created by Zhejiang University. B. It was well-protected during the war.
C. It was a collection of 997 books. D. It was sent back to Zunyi after the war.
57. Which is the best title for the passage?
A. Protecting China: My Father’s Brave Move During War
B. Staying Strong: How to Protect Yourself in the Time of War
C. Siku Quanshu: Treasures Lost and Found in the War
D. A Long Journey: How Zhejiang University Saved Important Books
【答案】54. A 55. C 56. B 57. D

【导语】本文主要讲在抗日战争期间,浙江大学的师生不畏艰险,保护《四库全书》的故事。

Research recently published in the journal Science studied land subsidence (地面沉降) in China’s major cities, raising people’s worries about land sinking in the country.
However, Hu Xie, co-author of the study, said this idea isn’t right scientifically. “Almost every city has areas of sinking and uplift (上升),” Hu told the Intellectual, a new science and technology media. The sinking of certain areas in a city does not mean the whole city is sinking. Human activities, like digging to build or taking out groundwater, are often the reason for it. What matters is how the areas are influenced and how quickly the land changes.
In fact, during times of fast economic development, the rate of land subsidence in China has been much slower compared to other countries.
For example, in San Jose, California, US, certain areas sank by 1.2 meters between 1912 and 1933. This was the time when the area quickly developed. The subsidence rate in Tokyo, Japan, even reached 27 centimeters a year during the 1950s. However, the subsidence rates in major Chinese cities are still around a few millimeters a year.
Even so, the government has taken measures to slow down the sinking. The key is not taking out too much water from the ground. The South-to-North Water Diversion Project (南水北调工程) is offering a helping hand to the country’s northern cities. Through this project, less water from the ground is used in northern areas and land subsidence in many areas of Beijing and Tianjin has stopped.
Shanghai has also reduced yearly ground subsidence from around 10 mm in 1995 to 6 mm in 2019 through efforts such as improving the water supply system (供水系统) and closing deep wells (井), according to The Paper.
62 Hu Xie might agree that ________.
A. nearly half of China’s cities are sinking B. land subsidence is not a problem at all
C. the sinking of certain areas matters most D. many cities have areas of sinking and uplift
63. What is the major cause of land subsidence in China according to the passage?
A. Water pollution. B. High buildings.
C. The use of groundwater. D. The South-to-North Water Diversion Project.
64. What measure has Shanghai taken to stop land subsidence?
A. Using less groundwater. B. Using water from southern cities.
C. Encouraging people to use more water. D. Using recycled water.
65. What is the purpose of the passage?
A. To show the rate of land subsidence in China.
B. To introduce the South-to-North Water Diversion Project.
C. To explain the different causes of land subsidence.
D. To discuss land subsidence and present solutions.

六、 阅读表达(共 5 小题;每小题 2 分,计 10 分)
请阅读下面短文,用英语回答短文后的问题。(每题不超过 10 个词)
Another rich man in Venice was Shylock. He became rich by lending money to others and making them pay interest (利息). While Antonio thought it wrong to make people pay interest. He said the rich should help the poor. Shylock was very angry about this because many people went to borrow money from Antonio instead of borrowing from him. This meant that Shylock earned less money.
When Bassanio visited Shylock, he asked Shylock to lend him three thousand gold coins and said he would pay it back in three months. “How do I know you can pay it back?” asked Shylock. “My friend Antonio will help me. If I do not pay you in three months, he will do it for me,” Bassanio said. Shylock turned to smile. Perhaps this would be a chance.
So Shylock went to visit Antonio at once. When seeing him, Shylock couldn’t help thinking how much he hated him. However, he did not show his hatred. He tried to be friendly. “It’s three thousand gold coins for three months, isn’t it?” Antonio and Bassanio agreed. “What interest will you pay?” Shylock asked. Before long, Antonio and Shylock were arguing about interest. Antonio called Shylock some bad names. Bassanio was worried and stopped Antonio.
Antonio said sorry to Shylock. “If you lend us this money,” pleased Antonio, “I will not call you bad names.”
Shylock pretended to be surprised. “Come with me to the judge,” said Shylock, “so that he can write the contract. I will lend you the money for three months. You will pay no interest. Just for fun, however, let’s agree that if you do not pay me on time, you will give me one pound of your flesh from wherever I choose to take it!”
