It was first built in 652. Today’s pagoda dates back to the Ming Dynasty. It stands more than 64 meters tall and is a building of seven stories. Leshan Giant Buddha Leshan On the cliff (悬崖) where the Min River, the Qingyi Rivet and the Dadu-River flow together, the Leshan Giant Buddha has a history of over 1,200 years. The Buddha can be regarded as a masterpiece of Chinese rock carving (雕像). The whole Buddha is as high as 71 meters and its feet can hold over 100 people. Mogao Caves, Dunhuang The ancient building is famous for enjoying Buddhist art. The caves carved into the cliffs were first built in 366 and then continually became larger in the later dynasties. Therefore, the whole building took over 1,000 years. The Summer Palace, Beijing The Summer Palace is one of the four most famous gardens in China. It is also the largest royal garden in the world. Having been destroyed and rebuilt several times, the buildings consist of many gardens and pavilions (亭). ▲ , you can easily spend 2—4 hours inside walking along the Kunming Lake, admiring the painted roof at the long corridor and climbing the Wanshou Hill. 11.

We can probably find this passage in the _________ column of a newspaper? A. Travel Guide B. Sports News C. New Science D. Health Care 【答案】11. B 12. A 13. C 14. A 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了四个中国著名的历史文化遗址，包括西安的大雁塔、乐山的大佛、敦煌的莫高窟和北京的颐和园。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据“On the cliff (悬崖) where the Min River, the Qingyi Rivet and the Dadu-River flow together”可知，乐山大佛位于河流交汇的悬崖上，所以可以从河流处观赏到。故选B。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Leshan Giant Buddha…On the cliff (悬崖)”以及“Mogao Caves…carved into the cliffs”可知，乐山大佛和莫高窟都建立在悬崖上。故选A。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。“you can easily spend 2—4 hours inside”表明描述的是游览时间，对于昆明湖来说，花费2到4小时参观是因为其规模较大。因此C选项“Because of the size”符合文意。故选C。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。文章主要介绍了四个著名旅游景点的建筑特点、历史、和游览体验，因此很可能出现在报纸的旅游指南栏目。故选A。 B You stand in a garden. A low noise reaches your ears. You see a small insect flying near your head. You turn to look, and it flies out of sight. There it is again! You move slowly. You can see yellow and black stripes (条纹) on it. Is it a bee? It lands on a flower, and you take a closer look. Bees fold (折叠) their wings onto their backs when they stop flying. But this insect’s wings reach out like a fly’s. That’s because it is a fly—a flower fly. Many flower flies look like bees. This helps keep them safe from animals that may want to eat them. Insects with yellow and black stripes usually have stingers (刺). Insect eaters, such as some birds and frogs, need to get stung (被叮咬) only once to know that stripes mean trouble. Flower flies can’t sting, but insect eaters see the stripes and leave the flies alone. Flower flies spend most of their time looking for food. Like bees, flower flies eat pollen (花粉) and nectar (花蜜). This makes them easy to find in a garden full of flowers. They are helpful garden insects just like bees. Adult flower flies move pollen from one flower to another, which helps some flowers grow into fruit. Flower flies can stay in one place while flying. Most insects move forward when they fly. But flower flies can twist (扭动) their wings, much like hummingbirds do. Twisting keeps them in one place, so they can remain over flowers, leaves, or even you! 15. In which way are bees and flower flies different? A. The food that they eat in the garden. B. The colour of their stripes they have. C. The trouble they make to birds and frogs. D. The shape of wings when they stop flying. 16. What does the underlined phrase “leave the flies alone” in Paragraph 4 mean? A. Make friends with the flies. B. Eat the flies up. C. Keep away from the flies. D. Invite the flies in. 17. What do you know about the flower flies according to the passage? A. They can sting insect eaters like bees. B. They can be found easily in the pollen. C. They can move backward while flying. D. They can be as helpful to flowers as bees. 18. What might the writer of the passage agree with? A. People prefer bees to flower flies all the time. B. People sometimes mistake flower flies for bees. C. People should stop birds eating bees and flower flies. D. People should have nice gardens around their house. 【答案】15. D 16. C 17. D 18. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，文章介绍了花蝇的外观特征、行为习性以及它们与蜜蜂的相似之处和不同之处，旨在向读者传达有关花蝇的知识。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Bees fold (折叠) their wings onto their backs when they stop flying. But this insect’s wings reach out like a fly’s.”可知，蜜蜂在停止飞行时会把翅膀折叠到背上，花蝇的翅膀像苍蝇一样伸展开来，也就是说蜜蜂和花蝇的翅膀在停止飞行时的形状不同。故选D。 【16题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“…know that stripes mean trouble. Flower flies can’t sting, but insect eaters see the stripes and leave the flies alone.”可知，昆虫食者知道条纹意味着麻烦，花蝇虽然不会叮咬，但昆虫食者看到条纹就会远离它们，故“leave the flies alone”意为远离它们。故选C。 【17题详解】 细节理解题。根据“They are helpful garden insects just like bees.”可知，它们是像蜜蜂一样有益的花园昆虫。故选D。 【18题详解】 推理判断题。文章第一段描述了人们看见花蝇的场面，第二段指出“Is it a bee? It lands on a flower, and you take a closer look.”，它是一只蜜蜂吗？可推知，人们会把蜜蜂和花蝇弄混。故选B。 C ①Chunlian, also known as the Spring Festival couplet, is a very important part of Chinese culture. It has a very long history and is deeply connected to the celebrations of the Spring Festival. ②A long time ago, chunlian was used to drive away bad spirits and bad luck. There is a story from the Tang Dynasty about people putting peach wood with pictures of gods of Shenshu and Yulü on their doors. But over time, these peach wood pieces changed into paper couplets with written words that brought good luck and wishes. Another story from the Song Dynasty tells us that people wrote lucky words on red paper and put them on their gates or doors during the Spring Festival. ③A special event happened in the Later Shu when the ruler, Meng Chang, asked a minister to write couplets for him. But he wasn’t happy with the work, so he wrote them himself. These are now considered the first Spring Festival couplets, and they say, “New Year brings extra happiness, and this festive season is called Everlasting Spring.” ④During the Ming Dynasty, chunlian became very popular, and that’s when it got its name. Emperor Hongwu (namely Zhu Yuanzhang), really liked chunlian. He made a rule that every house had to have a chunlian on their gates on New Year’s Day. ⑤Over the years, the custom of hanging chunlian during the Spring Festival has very widely spread. These couplets are usually written in a simple, poetic style on red paper. This tradition is still an important part of Chinese culture and is celebrated with great joy today. 19. What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A. Pictures of gods. B. Meanings of good wishes. C. Peach wood pieces. D. Lucky words on red paper. 20 Which can most probably be the first chunlian according to the passage? A. 新年纳余庆，嘉节号长春 B. 岁月更新人不老，江山依旧景长春 C. 年丰人增寿，春早福满门 D. 神州春暖山河秀，华夏龙腾日月新 21. What can we know about chunlian according to the passage? A. It was invented by Emperor Hongwu. B. It was used to drive away bad spirits. C. It has a history of ten thousand years. D. It showed one’s great talent in writing. 22. What would be the best structure of the passage? A. ①/②③④⑤ B. ①/②③/④⑤ C. ①/②③④/⑤ D. ①②/③④/⑤ 【答案】19. D 20. A 21. B 22. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了春联的悠久历史。 【19题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“Another story from the Song Dynasty tells us that people wrote lucky words on red paper and put them on their gates or doors during the Spring Festival.”可知，宋代也有一个故事，讲述人们在春节期间在红纸上写上吉祥的文字；此处指的应是将写上吉祥文字的红纸贴在门口或门上，“them”指的是“lucky words on red paper”。故选D。 【20题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“These are now considered the first Spring Festival couplets, and they say, ‘New Year brings extra happiness, and this festive season is called Everlasting Spring.’”可知，“新年纳余庆，嘉节号长春”最可能是第一幅春联。故选A。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据“A long time ago, chunlian was used to drive away bad spirits and bad luck.”可知，很久以前，春联被用来驱散恶灵和厄运。故选B。 【22题详解】 篇章结构题。第一段总结说明了春联有悠久的历史；第二、三和四段详细描述了春联的历史由来和发展过程；第五段总结春联至今仍是春节期间的常见习俗和中国文化的重要组成部分；全文为总分总结构。故选C。 D There’s much to see under the sea, but you need to remember that light behaves differently in water than in air. The objects appear closer to you than they exactly are. You might find yourself reaching out to touch something and completely missing it. Objects under water will appear larger than they would on the surface, too. Be careful not to tell any stories about the big fish that got away. That fish might not be so big after all! It’s just because sometimes things can seem to be as much as about 33 percent bigger in water! What’s more, in deeper water, colors just don’t seem as bright. In fact, it looks as if some colors are missing. Remember the color of an object results from the wavelengths (波长) of light that are reflected (反射) from its surface. And light is taken in as it moves down through the water. Swimmers wear wet suits to keep warm underwater. Let’s take a bright red, yellow, and blue wet suit as an example. These colors are hard to miss on the surface of water. Watch carefully the changes in color as you go down in the water. The red part now looks almost black because the red light wavelengths, the longest among these three colors, are missing. As you go down deeper, the same thing will happen to the yellow part and in the end to the blue part. Even at a place of about 6 to 9 meters underwater, you will look terrible, like a ghost (鬼怪)! And you have to wait for your return to the surface to enjoy the bright colors again! Do you have a better understanding of the behavior of the light underwater? We need to be careful about the objects around us and explore their mysteries by ourselves. 23. You miss the object underwater when you want to touch it because _________. A. your eyesight is quite poor B. you are not quick enough C. it is not as close as it seems D. it disappears very quickly 24. The example of the wet suits is used to explain the change of the _________ of an object underwater. A. size B. color C. position D. weight 25. Which of the following is true according to the passage? A. A four-meter-long fish looks three meters long underwater. B. The red part changes color first when it’s down in the water. C. Much water will be taken in by the swimmer deep in the water. D. You will see a ghost if you go as deep as 6 to 9 meters into the sea. 26. The best title of this passage is _________. A. The Changes of Color Underwater B. The Direction of Light Underwater C. The Brightness of Color Underwater D. The Behavior of Light Underwater 【答案】23. C 24. B 25. B 26. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了光线在水下有什么样的变化。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的 “The objects appear closer to you than they exactly are. You might find yourself reaching out to touch something and completely missing it.”可知，水里的物体看起来离你比实际更近，你想要触碰的时候却摸不到，是因为它事实上没有那么近。故选C。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Let’s take a bright red, yellow, and blue wet suit as an example. These colors are hard to miss on the surface of water. Watch carefully the changes in color as you go down in the water. ”可知，作者举潜水服的例子是为了说明物体颜色在水下会发生变化，故选B。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据“The red part now looks almost black because the red light wavelengths, the longest among these three colors, are missing.”可推断，红色的波长最长，会最先变色。故选B。 【26题详解】 最佳标题题。根据全文和“Do you have a better understanding of the behavior of the light underwater?”可知，本文讲的是水下光线的反应，故选D。 阅读短文，从所给的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，其中有一个多余的选项。 Five Tips to Improve Your Memory Most of us know that our brains become smaller in size as we get older, but did you know that diet and lifestyle have an effect on how well our brains work? Research shows that eating lots of fruit, vegetables and proteins (蛋白质) improves memory. ___27___ Eating oily fish or dark chocolate (with over 70% cocoa) and taking Vitamin D3 can also help make your memory stronger.

A 29. E 30. C 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了对大脑有好处的，能够提升记忆力的五种方法。 【27题详解】 根据“Research shows that eating lots of fruit, vegetables and proteins (蛋白质) improves memory.”可知，此处是描述饮食和记忆力的关系。选项D“尽量避免吃含糖的食物，如蛋糕和牛奶巧克力。”符合语境。故选D。 【28题详解】 根据“Try taking 5-10 minutes of your day to meditate or listen to music.”可知，此处是描述一些放松的活动对改善记忆力的作用。选项A“甚至只是洗个澡！”符合语境。故选A。 【29题详解】 根据“Experts say that age reduces our ability to learn, but sleep can help.”可知，此处是描述睡眠对改善记忆力的作用。选项E“为了让你的大脑正常工作，7-9小时的睡眠是必要的。”符合语境。故选E。 【30题详解】 根据“Try to memorize information…”可知，此处是描述要多自己动脑对于改善记忆力的作用。选项C“为了保持你的大脑处于良好状态，你需要经常使用它。”符合语境。故选C。 四、完形填空（共10小题，每小题1分；满分10分） 阅读短文，掌握其大意，然后从A、B、C、D中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Half a year ago, I received an operation on my legs and I had to stay in bed all day.

It was first built in 652. Today’s pagoda dates back to the Ming Dynasty. It stands more than 64 meters tall and is a building of seven stories. Leshan Giant Buddha Leshan On the cliff (悬崖) where the Min River, the Qingyi Rivet and the Dadu-River flow together, the Leshan Giant Buddha has a history of over 1,200 years. The Buddha can be regarded as a masterpiece of Chinese rock carving (雕像). The whole Buddha is as high as 71 meters and its feet can hold over 100 people. Mogao Caves, Dunhuang The ancient building is famous for enjoying Buddhist art. The caves carved into the cliffs were first built in 366 and then continually became larger in the later dynasties. Therefore, the whole building took over 1,000 years. The Summer Palace, Beijing The Summer Palace is one of the four most famous gardens in China. It is also the largest royal garden in the world. Having been destroyed and rebuilt several times, the buildings consist of many gardens and pavilions (亭). ▲ , you can easily spend 2—4 hours inside walking along the Kunming Lake, admiring the painted roof at the long corridor and climbing the Wanshou Hill. 11. Which of the four places above can you view from the river according to the text? A. Giant Wild Goose Pagoda. B. Leshan Giant Buddha. C. Mogao Caves. D. The Summer Palace. 12. What do Leshan Giant Buddha and Mogao Caves have in common? A. They were built on cliffs. B. They have the same height. C. They were built for royalty. D. They have the most caves. 13. Which of the following can be put into ▲ ? A. As a result B. As for the weather C. Because of the size D. According to the report 14. We can probably find this passage in the _________ column of a newspaper? A. Travel Guide B. Sports News C. New Science D. Health Care B You stand in a garden. A low noise reaches your ears. You see a small insect flying near your head. You turn to look, and it flies out of sight. There it is again! You move slowly. You can see yellow and black stripes (条纹) on it. Is it a bee? It lands on a flower, and you take a closer look. Bees fold (折叠) their wings onto their backs when they stop flying. But this insect’s wings reach out like a fly’s. That’s because it is a fly—a flower fly. Many flower flies look like bees. This helps keep them safe from animals that may want to eat them. Insects with yellow and black stripes usually have stingers (刺). Insect eaters, such as some birds and frogs, need to get stung (被叮咬) only once to know that stripes mean trouble. Flower flies can’t sting, but insect eaters see the stripes and leave the flies alone. Flower flies spend most of their time looking for food. Like bees, flower flies eat pollen (花粉) and nectar (花蜜). This makes them easy to find in a garden full of flowers. They are helpful garden insects just like bees. Adult flower flies move pollen from one flower to another, which helps some flowers grow into fruit. Flower flies can stay in one place while flying. Most insects move forward when they fly. But flower flies can twist (扭动) their wings, much like hummingbirds do. Twisting keeps them in one place, so they can remain over flowers, leaves, or even you! 15. In which way are bees and flower flies different? A. The food that they eat in the garden. B. The colour of their stripes they have. C. The trouble they make to birds and frogs. D. The shape of wings when they stop flying. 16. What does the underlined phrase “leave the flies alone” in Paragraph 4 mean? A. Make friends with the flies. B. Eat the flies up. C. Keep away from the flies. D. Invite the flies in. 17. What do you know about the flower flies according to the passage? A. They can sting insect eaters like bees. B. They can be found easily in the pollen. C. They can move backward while flying. D. They can be as helpful to flowers as bees. 18. What might the writer of the passage agree with? A. People prefer bees to flower flies all the time. B. People sometimes mistake flower flies for bees. C. People should stop birds eating bees and flower flies. D. People should have nice gardens around their house. C ①Chunlian, also known as the Spring Festival couplet, is a very important part of Chinese culture. It has a very long history and is deeply connected to the celebrations of the Spring Festival. ②A long time ago, chunlian was used to drive away bad spirits and bad luck. There is a story from the Tang Dynasty about people putting peach wood with pictures of gods of Shenshu and Yulü on their doors. But over time, these peach wood pieces changed into paper couplets with written words that brought good luck and wishes. Another story from the Song Dynasty tells us that people wrote lucky words on red paper and put them on their gates or doors during the Spring Festival. ③A special event happened in the Later Shu when the ruler, Meng Chang, asked a minister to write couplets for him. But he wasn’t happy with the work, so he wrote them himself. These are now considered the first Spring Festival couplets, and they say, “New Year brings extra happiness, and this festive season is called Everlasting Spring.” ④During the Ming Dynasty, chunlian became very popular, and that’s when it got its name. Emperor Hongwu (namely Zhu Yuanzhang), really liked chunlian. He made a rule that every house had to have a chunlian on their gates on New Year’s Day. ⑤Over the years, the custom of hanging chunlian during the Spring Festival has very widely spread. These couplets are usually written in a simple, poetic style on red paper. This tradition is still an important part of Chinese culture and is celebrated with great joy today. 19. What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A. Pictures of gods. B. Meanings of good wishes. C. Peach wood pieces. D. Lucky words on red paper. 20. Which can most probably be the first chunlian according to the passage? A. 新年纳余庆，嘉节号长春 B. 岁月更新人不老，江山依旧景长春 C. 年丰人增寿，春早福满门 D. 神州春暖山河秀，华夏龙腾日月新 21. What can we know about chunlian according to the passage? A. It was invented by Emperor Hongwu. B. It was used to drive away bad spirits. C. It has a history of ten thousand years. D. It showed one’s great talent in writing. 22 What would be the best structure of the passage? A. ①/②③④⑤ B. ①/②③/④⑤ C. ①/②③④/⑤ D. ①②/③④/⑤ D There’s much to see under the sea, but you need to remember that light behaves differently in water than in air. The objects appear closer to you than they exactly are. You might find yourself reaching out to touch something and completely missing it. Objects under water will appear larger than they would on the surface, too. Be careful not to tell any stories about the big fish that got away. That fish might not be so big after all! It’s just because sometimes things can seem to be as much as about 33 percent bigger in water! What’s more, in deeper water, colors just don’t seem as bright. In fact, it looks as if some colors are missing. Remember the color of an object results from the wavelengths (波长) of light that are reflected (反射) from its surface. And light is taken in as it moves down through the water. Swimmers wear wet suits to keep warm underwater. Let’s take a bright red, yellow, and blue wet suit as an example. These colors are hard to miss on the surface of water. Watch carefully the changes in color as you go down in the water. The red part now looks almost black because the red light wavelengths, the longest among these three colors, are missing. As you go down deeper, the same thing will happen to the yellow part and in the end to the blue part. Even at a place of about 6 to 9 meters underwater, you will look terrible, like a ghost (鬼怪)! And you have to wait for your return to the surface to enjoy the bright colors again! Do you have a better understanding of the behavior of the light underwater? We need to be careful about the objects around us and explore their mysteries by ourselves. 23. You miss the object underwater when you want to touch it because _________. A. your eyesight is quite poor B. you are not quick enough C. it is not as close as it seems D. it disappears very quickly 24. The example of the wet suits is used to explain the change of the _________ of an object underwater. A. size B. color C. position D. weight 25. Which of the following is true according to the passage? A. A four-meter-long fish looks three meters long underwater. B. The red part changes color first when it’s down in the water. C. Much water will be taken in by the swimmer deep in the water. D You will see a ghost if you go as deep as 6 to 9 meters into the sea. 26. The best title of this passage is _________. A. The Changes of Color Underwater B. The Direction of Light Underwater C. The Brightness of Color Underwater D. The Behavior of Light Underwater 阅读短文，从所给的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，其中有一个多余的选项。 Five Tips to Improve Your Memory Most of us know that our brains become smaller in size as we get older, but did you know that diet and lifestyle have an effect on how well our brains work? Research shows that eating lots of fruit, vegetables and proteins (蛋白质) improves memory. ___27___ Eating oily fish or dark chocolate (with over 70% cocoa) and taking Vitamin D3 can also help make your memory stronger. The role of exercise is really important too. A 2011 study showed that regular exercise actually increases brain size. Another study found that exercise improved memory in some older people; surprisingly it found that one single training period had the same effect on memory as regular, long exercise period! One study found that eight weeks of short, daily meditation (默想) improved memory. Other ways to relax can also improve our short-term memory. Try taking 5-10 minutes of your day to meditate or listen to music. ___28___ Experts say that age reduces our ability to learn, but sleep can help. ___29___ A 2019 study found that students learned things better before and after a short sleep! ___30___ Try to memorize information like phone numbers and addresses rather than putting the information in your phone. You could also learn a language or do brain training like crosswords (填字游戏). A. Or even just take a shower! B. Use your phone to help you memorize things. C. To keep your brain in good condition, you need to use it. D. Try to avoid sugary foods such as cakes and milk chocolate. E. For your bran to work well, 7-9 hours of sleep is necessary. 四、完形填空（共10小题，每小题1分；满分10分） 阅读短文，掌握其大意，然后从A、B、C、D中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Half a year ago, I received an operation on my legs and I had to stay in bed all day. I was sad and lost ___31___ in everything. My family were also suffering from pain because of my bad situation. The only thing I could do was to ___32___ some daily things for my family online from a grocery store (杂货店). After paying the money every time, I would leave a comment (评论) to the person who packed my things—words like “Your service is ___33___ and wish you a happy day!” or “Nothing can match your hard work.” ___34___, I recovered (康复) my health soon. I drove to the grocery store last week. While I was checking out, I said to the shopkeeper, “Nothing can match your hard work.” The shopkeeper looked up at me ___35___ and said, “Unbelievable, It’s you!” She excitedly gave me a hug and smiled, “My store used to be in danger of closing down.

Through this experience, I realized kindness could be ___39___!

What role does a dream play in our life? When I was young, my dream was to be a fireman. I thought it would be cool to ride around. And putting out fire could make me feel like a superman. For years, I held on to this dream. But when I got older, I had another dream. I wanted to be a teacher like my father. He teaches in a university. He has helped many students to achieve their dreams. I really admire him. So that’s why I am a teacher now. I enjoy every minute when I stay with students. I enjoy every moment when I see students make progress. I never regret giving up my dream to be a fireman. Life doesn’t always give us the joys we want. Life may push our dreams in another direction. It doesn’t matter whatever our dreams are. If we actively pursue (追求) them, we will move closer to our dreams. If we stick to what we live to do, we can build ourselves better. That is the most important thing to us. 51. What career made the writer feel like a superman? _________________________________________________________________ 52.
