Although hutongs look the same, each one has its special features (特征). Do you know some special hutongs? And do you want to visit some of them? Dongjiaominxiang is the longest hutong in Beijing. It’s 1.552km long from the east road of Tian’anmen Square to Chongwenmennei Street. The oldest locals living in Dongjiaominxiang have only lived there for about 60 years, because the hutong had been the embassy area (使馆区) of the Old China for over 700 years since the Yuan dynasty. Yichidajie (or One Foot Street) is the shortest hutong in Beijing. It is only about 30m long from east to west and there are only six stores on the street. Now it is a part of Yangmeizhu Xiejie. Lingjing Hutong is the widest hutong in Beijing. It is 664m long and 32.18m in its widest part. It is in the Xicheng district of Beijing, and lies between Fuyou Street on the east and Xidan North Street on the west. 31．What can we learn about Yichidajie according to the passage? A．It’s only one foot wide. B．It’s an east-west street. C．There are 30 shops on it. D. There are three theaters. 32．What’s the right order of the three hutongs according to their length (长度)? D=Dongjiaominxiang    Y=Yichidajie    L=Lingjing Hutong A．Y>L>D B．L>D>Y C．D>L>Y D. Y=D>L 33．In which part of the magazine can we see the material? A．Sports. B．Science. C．Travel. D Health. B Today is December 15, 2031. Influenced by the launch of the first manned mission to Mars next month, you will most likely get a gift card for a space trip. The interest in space trips has grown steadily among people since such a trip began. Therefore, the market has grown much larger this year since the official announcement of the Mars mission. More low-cost space lines have entered the market and you can now find flights for such a trip for as low as $3,495. It’s very reasonable. Space tourism is one of the markets that have developed fast during the last decade, with the opening of the Starlight Hotel on the moon as well as the low orbital hotels that started accepting guests. However, accommodation in space is still expensive for the average household, so the suborbital (亚轨道的) flights with thirty-minute weightlessness during the three-hour flight will be the most popular trip. However, the space lines might in the future face fierce (激烈的) competition with the appearance of space elevators (太空升降舱), like the one that is projected to start construction within two years. Once it is fully functional, it will start to ship cargo to space. But it will accept passengers as soon as possible to get back the large investment. Even if the elevator becomes successful, it will take several years before there are more elevators in the world to get in the competition for space traffic with the space lines. Those who are looking for a little bit of adventure and have extra money to spend may want to consider a suborbital flight in space. While a suborbital flight may not be the space mission that you have always dreamed of, it will give you the rare opportunity to see what our planet looks like in a high-altitude flight outside our atmosphere. So before you enjoy a trip by elevator to space, enjoy a suborbital flight first. 34．From Paragraph 1, what will happen in January, 2032? A．A gift card will be taken to Mars. B．Mars will be explored for the first time. C．Man will go to Mars for the first time. D．An affordable space trip will come true. 35．The underlined word “average” means “________” in Chinese. A．普通的 B．高收入的 C．低成本的 D．低收入的 36．What is the space elevators purpose in accepting passengers as soon as possible? A．To ship cargo to space. B．To get in the competition between space lines. C．To start the construction of more space elevators. D．To get back the large investment. 37．Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage? A．Space tourism has developed fast during the last ten years. B．A suborbital flight may be the space mission that you have dreamed of. C．The suborbital flights will be the most popular trip for some time. D．Even though the elevator becomes successful, we will still have to wait for a few years to see more elevators come out. 38．We can know from the passage that ________. A．the low orbital hotels have opened since a space trip began B．within two years, space elevators will begin to ship cargo and people to space C．during the suborbital flights, you will experience 30 minutes’ weightlessness D．if you want to satisfy your curiosity, you may try a suborbital flight C When we talk about Hangzhou, we must think of the West Lake. In fact, Hangzhou Xixi National Wetland Park and Yuhang oil paper umbrellas have already got much attention (关注). Hangzhou Xixi National Wetland Park, in the west of Hangzhou, founded in 2005, is China’s first national wetland park. The park is only 5 kilometers away from the West Lake. With an area of 11.5 square kilometers, almost 70% of the park is water. There are 6 long rivers and the waterways inside the park are more than 100 kilometers long. About 85% of the land in Xixi is covered by many kinds of trees. It is becoming a must-visit in Hangzhou. As for Yuhang oil paper umbrellas, they have a history of more than 230 years. The traditional way of making them has been seen as a Zhejiang Intangible Cultural Heritage (非物质文化遗产) since 2007. These paper umbrellas come from Yuhang. That’s why people call them Yuhang oilpaper umbrellas. Liu Weixue, 32, is the grandson of Liu Youquan, the inheritor (继承者) of the umbrella. He loves this traditional culture and his grandfather makes a big difference to him. So Liu Weixue gave up his job and began to design (设计), make and sell Yuhang paper umbrellas with his students. “It’s not easy to make an umbrella — more than 70 steps, but we should pass down the traditional culture,” Liu said. 39．What does the underlined word “founded” most probably mean? A．Invented. B．Built. C．Polluted. D．Started. 40．How does the writer show the importance of the park to Hangzhou? A．By giving numbers. B．By asking questions. C．By doing some tests. D．By showing some pictures. 41．How is Liu Weixue according to the last two paragraphs? A．Smart but lazy. B．Independent and serious. C．Helpful but strict. D．Creative and hard-working. 42．Why does the writer write the passage? A．To tell people some must-visits in Hangzhou. B．To call on people to pass down traditional culture of Hangzhou. C．To compare Hangzhou Xixi National Wetland Park with Yuhang oil paper umbrellas. D．To introduce Hangzhou Xixi National Wetland Park and Yuhang oil paper umbrellas. D Some people believe that humans could live on the planet Mars by the year 2100. Our own planet, the Earth, is becoming more and more crowded and polluted. It is hoped that people could start all over again and build a better world on Mars. Here is what life there could be like. At present, our spacecraft are too slow to carry large numbers of passengers to Mars—it would take months. With the development of technology, by the year 2100, the journey might only take about 20 minutes in spacecraft that travel at the speed of light! However, the spacecraft would travel really fast, so the journey to Mars might be quite uncomfortable. Many people would feel ill. Humans can’t live without water, air or food. So far, nobody knows whether there would be enough water or air on Mars for people. Moreover, scientists are not sure whether plants could grow on Mars. Food would most probably be in the form of pills (药片) and would not be so tasty. Compared with life on the earth, life on Mars would be better in some ways. People would have more space. They might live in houses with huge comfortable rooms. Also, robots would do a lot of their work so that they could have more time to relax. There would probably be no schools on Mars. Every student would study at online schools with “e-teachers”. Life on Mars would be interesting and challenging. However, it may take hundreds of years to make it true. So the most important thing we need to do now is to protect our beautiful blue planet—the Earth! 43．What does the underlined word “spacecraft” mean? A．spaceships B．hot-air balloons C．space stations D．planes 44．What would the flight to Mars be like by the year 2100? A．Fast and enjoyable. B．Fast but uncomfortable. C．Slow and boring. D．Slow but comfortable. 45．What can we learn from the passage? A．There would be enough water and air on Mars for people. B．Food on Mars would be more delicious than that on the earth. C．People would be busy with work on Mars. D．The writer thinks living on Mars would be full of challenges. 46．What’s the best title for the passage? A．Schools on Mars B．Food on Mars C．Life on Mars D．Environment on the Earth 四、阅读理解七选五 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。选项中有两项是多余选项。 Nowadays, there are many people from big cities to villages or small towns to achieve their dreams. 47 Tony is one of this kind of people. 48 He said, “Both my wife and I grew up in St. Louis. We met each other at college and got married. Then we had two kids and our life became difficult. We didn’t know our neighbors. We both had good jobs but we were very busy. 49 Everything changed when we moved to this small town. We don’t make much money as we used to, but things there are much cheaper and we can spend more time playing with our kids.” But there are still some people who want to move to a big city from a small town. Gina moved to St. Louis five years ago. Here’s what she said. “ 50 I grew up there. After I graduated from my high school, I found a job in a supermarket. There are about 2,000 people in my town, and I know most of them. Most of them know me, too. At the age of 22, I got a chance to move to St. Louis. 51 I live in an apartment and have a few good friends now.” A．I don’t know as many people as I used to in Calaveras, but that’s OK. B．So we can’t spend much time playing with our kids. C．Most of them enjoy the simple life in villages or small towns. D．He used to arrive late last year, but now he doesn’t. E．I used to live in a small town called Calaveras. F．Children should learn to do things by themselves. G．Tony and his family moved to a small town from St. Louis three years ago. 五、短文填空 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入一个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 How much do you know about Australia? 52 you ever visited it before? Australia is to the south of the equator, so it is often called “the Land Down Under”. It is the 53 (small) continent (洲) in the world. Australia is big, but 54 (it) population is not large. The population of Australia is just as large as that of Shanghai. It is 55 English-speaking country. It is a 56 (peace) and beautiful place to take a holiday. Nowadays, 57 (thousand) of tourists go there on vacation. Last month we 58 (decide) to visit Australia. First we went to Berth. Berth is a fantastic place full 59 wild flowers. While we 60 (lie) and enjoying ourselves near a path (小道) at the foot of a hill, we suddenly heard bells ringing at the top of the hill. What we saw made us so surprised that we picked up all our things right away and ran to our car. All the way we ran as 61 (quick) as we could. There were about three hundred sheep coming towards us down the path. Australia is also famous for sheep. After a short drive away from any town, you’ll find yourself in the middle of white sheep. 六、书面表达 62．每个人都会憧憬未来美好的生活。请以“The beautiful life that I’m looking forward to”为题，并根据要点和要求，用英语写一篇短文。 1. 要点：

Although hutongs look the same, each one has its special features (特征). Do you know some special hutongs? And do you want to visit some of them? Dongjiaominxiang is the longest hutong in Beijing. It’s 1.552km long from the east road of Tian’anmen Square to Chongwenmennei Street. The oldest locals living in Dongjiaominxiang have only lived there for about 60 years, because the hutong had been the embassy area (使馆区) of the Old China for over 700 years since the Yuan dynasty. Yichidajie (or One Foot Street) is the shortest hutong in Beijing. It is only about 30m long from east to west and there are only six stores on the street. Now it is a part of Yangmeizhu Xiejie. Lingjing Hutong is the widest hutong in Beijing. It is 664m long and 32.18m in its widest part. It is in the Xicheng district of Beijing, and lies between Fuyou Street on the east and Xidan North Street on the west. 31．What can we learn about Yichidajie according to the passage? A．It’s only one foot wide. B．It’s an east-west street. C．There are 30 shops on it. D. There are three theaters. 32．What’s the right order of the three hutongs according to their length (长度)? D=Dongjiaominxiang    Y=Yichidajie    L=Lingjing Hutong A．Y>L>D B．L>D>Y C．D>L>Y D. Y=D>L 33．In which part of the magazine can we see the material? A．Sports. B．Science. C．Travel. D Health. B Today is December 15, 2031. Influenced by the launch of the first manned mission to Mars next month, you will most likely get a gift card for a space trip. The interest in space trips has grown steadily among people since such a trip began. Therefore, the market has grown much larger this year since the official announcement of the Mars mission. More low-cost space lines have entered the market and you can now find flights for such a trip for as low as $3,495. It’s very reasonable. Space tourism is one of the markets that have developed fast during the last decade, with the opening of the Starlight Hotel on the moon as well as the low orbital hotels that started accepting guests. However, accommodation in space is still expensive for the average household, so the suborbital (亚轨道的) flights with thirty-minute weightlessness during the three-hour flight will be the most popular trip. However, the space lines might in the future face fierce (激烈的) competition with the appearance of space elevators (太空升降舱), like the one that is projected to start construction within two years. Once it is fully functional, it will start to ship cargo to space. But it will accept passengers as soon as possible to get back the large investment. Even if the elevator becomes successful, it will take several years before there are more elevators in the world to get in the competition for space traffic with the space lines. Those who are looking for a little bit of adventure and have extra money to spend may want to consider a suborbital flight in space. While a suborbital flight may not be the space mission that you have always dreamed of, it will give you the rare opportunity to see what our planet looks like in a high-altitude flight outside our atmosphere. So before you enjoy a trip by elevator to space, enjoy a suborbital flight first. 34．From Paragraph 1, what will happen in January, 2032? A．A gift card will be taken to Mars. B．Mars will be explored for the first time. C．Man will go to Mars for the first time. D．An affordable space trip will come true. 35．The underlined word “average” means “________” in Chinese. A．普通的 B．高收入的 C．低成本的 D．低收入的 36．What is the space elevators purpose in accepting passengers as soon as possible? A．To ship cargo to space. B．To get in the competition between space lines. C．To start the construction of more space elevators. D．To get back the large investment. 37．Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage? A．Space tourism has developed fast during the last ten years. B．A suborbital flight may be the space mission that you have dreamed of. C．The suborbital flights will be the most popular trip for some time. D．Even though the elevator becomes successful, we will still have to wait for a few years to see more elevators come out. 38．We can know from the passage that ________. A．the low orbital hotels have opened since a space trip began B．within two years, space elevators will begin to ship cargo and people to space C．during the suborbital flights, you will experience 30 minutes’ weightlessness D．if you want to satisfy your curiosity, you may try a suborbital flight C When we talk about Hangzhou, we must think of the West Lake. In fact, Hangzhou Xixi National Wetland Park and Yuhang oil paper umbrellas have already got much attention (关注). Hangzhou Xixi National Wetland Park, in the west of Hangzhou, founded in 2005, is China’s first national wetland park. The park is only 5 kilometers away from the West Lake. With an area of 11.5 square kilometers, almost 70% of the park is water. There are 6 long rivers and the waterways inside the park are more than 100 kilometers long. About 85% of the land in Xixi is covered by many kinds of trees. It is becoming a must-visit in Hangzhou. As for Yuhang oil paper umbrellas, they have a history of more than 230 years. The traditional way of making them has been seen as a Zhejiang Intangible Cultural Heritage (非物质文化遗产) since 2007. These paper umbrellas come from Yuhang. That’s why people call them Yuhang oilpaper umbrellas. Liu Weixue, 32, is the grandson of Liu Youquan, the inheritor (继承者) of the umbrella. He loves this traditional culture and his grandfather makes a big difference to him. So Liu Weixue gave up his job and began to design (设计), make and sell Yuhang paper umbrellas with his students. “It’s not easy to make an umbrella — more than 70 steps, but we should pass down the traditional culture,” Liu said. 39．What does the underlined word “founded” most probably mean? A．Invented. B．Built. C．Polluted. D．Started. 40．How does the writer show the importance of the park to Hangzhou? A．By giving numbers. B．By asking questions. C．By doing some tests. D．By showing some pictures. 41．How is Liu Weixue according to the last two paragraphs? A．Smart but lazy. B．Independent and serious. C．Helpful but strict. D．Creative and hard-working. 42．Why does the writer write the passage? A．To tell people some must-visits in Hangzhou. B．To call on people to pass down traditional culture of Hangzhou. C．To compare Hangzhou Xixi National Wetland Park with Yuhang oil paper umbrellas. D．To introduce Hangzhou Xixi National Wetland Park and Yuhang oil paper umbrellas. D Some people believe that humans could live on the planet Mars by the year 2100. Our own planet, the Earth, is becoming more and more crowded and polluted. It is hoped that people could start all over again and build a better world on Mars. Here is what life there could be like. At present, our spacecraft are too slow to carry large numbers of passengers to Mars—it would take months. With the development of technology, by the year 2100, the journey might only take about 20 minutes in spacecraft that travel at the speed of light! However, the spacecraft would travel really fast, so the journey to Mars might be quite uncomfortable. Many people would feel ill. Humans can’t live without water, air or food. So far, nobody knows whether there would be enough water or air on Mars for people. Moreover, scientists are not sure whether plants could grow on Mars. Food would most probably be in the form of pills (药片) and would not be so tasty. Compared with life on the earth, life on Mars would be better in some ways. People would have more space. They might live in houses with huge comfortable rooms. Also, robots would do a lot of their work so that they could have more time to relax. There would probably be no schools on Mars. Every student would study at online schools with “e-teachers”. Life on Mars would be interesting and challenging. However, it may take hundreds of years to make it true. So the most important thing we need to do now is to protect our beautiful blue planet—the Earth! 43．What does the underlined word “spacecraft” mean? A．spaceships B．hot-air balloons C．space stations D．planes 44．What would the flight to Mars be like by the year 2100? A．Fast and enjoyable. B．Fast but uncomfortable. C．Slow and boring. D．Slow but comfortable. 45．What can we learn from the passage? A．There would be enough water and air on Mars for people. B．Food on Mars would be more delicious than that on the earth. C．People would be busy with work on Mars. D．The writer thinks living on Mars would be full of challenges. 46．What’s the best title for the passage? A．Schools on Mars B．Food on Mars C．Life on Mars D．Environment on the Earth 四、阅读理解七选五 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。选项中有两项是多余选项。 Nowadays, there are many people from big cities to villages or small towns to achieve their dreams. 47 Tony is one of this kind of people. 48 He said, “Both my wife and I grew up in St. Louis. We met each other at college and got married. Then we had two kids and our life became difficult. We didn’t know our neighbors. We both had good jobs but we were very busy. 49 Everything changed when we moved to this small town. We don’t make much money as we used to, but things there are much cheaper and we can spend more time playing with our kids.” But there are still some people who want to move to a big city from a small town. Gina moved to St. Louis five years ago. Here’s what she said. “ 50 I grew up there. After I graduated from my high school, I found a job in a supermarket. There are about 2,000 people in my town, and I know most of them. Most of them know me, too. At the age of 22, I got a chance to move to St. Louis. 51 I live in an apartment and have a few good friends now.” A．I don’t know as many people as I used to in Calaveras, but that’s OK. B．So we can’t spend much time playing with our kids. C．Most of them enjoy the simple life in villages or small towns. D．He used to arrive late last year, but now he doesn’t. E．I used to live in a small town called Calaveras. F．Children should learn to do things by themselves. G．Tony and his family moved to a small town from St. Louis three years ago. 五、短文填空 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入一个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 How much do you know about Australia? 52 you ever visited it before? Australia is to the south of the equator, so it is often called “the Land Down Under”. It is the 53 (small) continent (洲) in the world. Australia is big, but 54 (it) population is not large. The population of Australia is just as large as that of Shanghai. It is 55 English-speaking country. It is a 56 (peace) and beautiful place to take a holiday. Nowadays, 57 (thousand) of tourists go there on vacation. Last month we 58 (decide) to visit Australia. First we went to Berth. Berth is a fantastic place full 59 wild flowers. While we 60 (lie) and enjoying ourselves near a path (小道) at the foot of a hill, we suddenly heard bells ringing at the top of the hill. What we saw made us so surprised that we picked up all our things right away and ran to our car. All the way we ran as 61 (quick) as we could. There were about three hundred sheep coming towards us down the path. Australia is also famous for sheep. After a short drive away from any town, you’ll find yourself in the middle of white sheep. 六、书面表达 62．每个人都会憧憬未来美好的生活。请以“The beautiful life that I’m looking forward to”为题，并根据要点和要求，用英语写一篇短文。 1. 要点： 1）请描述一下你所憧憬的美好生活（如教育、工作……）; 2）你的感受。 2. 要求： 1）文中不要出现所在学校的校名和师生姓名； 2）词数100左右。 The beautiful life that I’m looking forward to ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 试卷第14页，共14页 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！13 试卷第13页，共14页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
