Here are some of your best choices worldwide if you only have limited time for travel.
Santorini, Greece
With its unique blue-roofed churches, whitewashed buildings and colorful beaches, the island is a dream place for photographers. Also, some archaeologically (考古地) significant sites are worth a visit. Locals like to say there’s more wine than water on the island where it doesn’t often rain.
Machu Picchu, Peru
As one of the Seven Wonders of the World, Machu Picchu is one of the most-visited attractions in Peru. Visitors are particularly attracted by Temple of the Condor, a rock temple carved to look like the impressive bird in its name. Book tickets in advance, as only 2,500 people can visit Machu Picchu each day.
Dubai, United Arab Emirates
Everything is bigger and better in Dubai, which has various enjoyable sites, including water-parks, shopping malls and even an indoor ski spot. Though you’re likely to pay a pretty penny for a trip to Dubai, you can save a little cash by visiting during summer months.
Maui, Hawaii
Maui is home to some of the island’s best-known attractions and beaches. Besides, you can explore the world’s largest volcano that’s resting, Haleakala. This is Hawaii, so your trip will be on the high-priced side. Maui has most beaches, with red, white and black sand.
1. What is Santorini like?
A. A land of great drought. B. An ideal site for photographers.
C. A place with wine history. D. A place full of archaeological sites.

Krista Brown never exercised regularly, though in her adult life, she started doing yoga exercise for the mind-body connection. But that all changed when her son, Tom, died of an accident. She felt like she had lost the world overnight.
A few years later, Krista spotted one old photo with her families, standing on the top of Mount Cloundry. “That was the first real smile I had after my son died,” says Krista. Before long, Krista received an email from an organization that offers support to people who lost loved ones. They were hosting an adventurous tour to Mount Shasta. Krista signed up, knowing it’s time to let go of the past.
During that climb, besides photographing the beauty of sunrise and stars, Krista found something that brought the biggest joy to her. “I really love the planning of it, the experience of working with a team and the focus on survival,” she says. Besides, she shared her story with other members and made life-long friends with them.
Since then, Krista has topped 19 mountains with no plans of stopping. “The most immediate effect of mountaineering (登山运动) is that I actually have a life now, which let me be in the moment. If I miss my step, I’ll slide. So I have to make sure I’m present, neither in the past being sad, nor in the future, wishing things were different.”
Krista says mountaineering has helped her become a better mother too. “Even mothering my other kids, I was in a haze, sending them to the wrong classes or mixing up salt and sugar... The climbing got me out of that mess and got my life back on track.” Her future plans? Summiting Mount Hood and Half Dome in Yosemite National Park this summer.
4. What made Krista start mountaineering?
A. Disinterest to take yoga exercise.
B. Willingness to climb with families.
C. Eagerness to join in an organization.
D. Desire to ease the pain of losing her son.
5 What did Krista enjoy most about mountaineering?
A. The chance to take photos of nature.
B. The peace of surviving difficult weathers.
C. The friendship with other teammates.
D. The experience of planning and teamwork.
6. What direct benefit has Krista gained from mountaineering?
A. A positive attitude.
B. A sound body.
C. Long-term friendship.
D. Good parental methods.
7. Which of the following is the closest in meaning to “haze” in the last paragraph?
A. Delight.
B. Confusion.
C. Satisfaction.
D. Sadness.
【答案】4. D 5. D 6. A 7. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了Krista通过登山走出失去儿子的伤痛,并重获生活激情。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“But that all changed when her son, Tom, died of an accident. She felt like she had lost the world overnight.(但当她的儿子汤姆死于一场事故后,一切都改变了。她觉得自己一夜之间失去了整个世界。)”以及第二段中“Before long, Krista received an email from an organization that offers support to people who lost loved ones. They were hosting an adventurous tour to Mount Shasta. Krista signed up, knowing it’s time to let go of the past.(不久,Krista收到了一封来自一个为失去亲人的人提供支持的组织的电子邮件。他们正在组织一次沙斯塔山的冒险之旅。Krista报名了,她知道是时候放下过去了)”可知,Krista开始登山,是因为她想放下过去,减轻失去儿子的痛苦。故选D。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段““I really love the planning of it, the experience of working with a team and the focus on survival,” she says. (她说:‘我真的很喜欢它的规划、与团队合作的体验以及对生存的关注。’)”可知,关于登山,Krista最喜欢的是规划和团队合作的经验。故选D。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“The most immediate effect of mountaineering (登山运动) is that I actually have a life now, which let me be in the moment.(登山最直接的影响是,我现在有了自己的生活,这让我活在当下)”可知,Krista从登山运动中得到的最直接的影响是,她活在当下,获得了积极的生活态度。故选A。
【7题详解】
词句猜测题。根据最后一段“Even mothering my other kids, I was in a haze, sending them to the wrong classes or mixing up salt and sugar... The climbing got me out of that mess and got my life back on track.(即使是照顾我的其他孩子,我也处于haze中,把他们送错了班,或者把盐和糖混在一起……攀岩让我摆脱了困境,让我的生活重回正轨)”可知,Krista在照顾孩子时会弄错一些事情,由此推测,照顾其他孩子时,Krista也处于迷糊、恍惚的状态,划线单词haze表示“迷茫,糊涂”,与confusion意义相近。故选B。
C
The 2008 Wenchuan Earthquake, in which tens of thousands of people died and hundreds of thousands injured, was the event that changed everything for China in this field. The 8.0-magnitude quake had presented the most difficult relief (救助) challenges to the country since 1949, leading to a complete review and improvement of the country’s emergency response (应对) capabilities. Since then, preventing and controlling disasters has become a top concern for the Chinese government.
For earthquakes, getting an early warning is extremely important. The Chengdu High-tech Disaster Reduction Center found that a three-second early warning can lower the number of the injured by 14%; a ten-second warning, by 39%; a 20-second warning, by 63%. So in the following years China has developed an automatic (自动的) early warning system which can send out warnings to millions of people in China within just two minutes after an earthquake.
In 2018, the Chinese government also created the Ministry of Emergency Management, together with civil services, the Red Cross, and the National Fire and Rescue Administration to ensure a round-the-clock emergency response. There are now 27 specialized teams for mountain, water, and air rescues, as well as earthquake relief, and seven teams for helping with international rescue efforts.
Whether it is earthquake, typhoon, flood or forest fire, China has an excellent record in post-disaster recovery, as it is able to organize resources from various departments including power, water conservancy and supply, telecommunications and disease control. To reduce the effects of follow-up disasters, these departments would do their parts to repair damaged roads and railways, restore power, water supply, communication and other services to help people get back to normal life.
Disaster relief requires the whole society to work together. And China sets an example of how to prevent loss and save lives by putting the people first.
8. How does this text show the importance of early warning systems?
A. By using quotes.
B. By giving examples.
C. By listing numbers.
D. By making contrast.
9. Why has the government set up the specialized teams?
A. To carry out disaster relief internationally.
B. To help the rescue and recovery work.
C. To train local people in disaster prevention.
D. To handle forest fires more effectively.
10. What can we learn from paragraph 4?
A. The effects of follow-up disasters have been reduced.
B. A lot of natural disasters have happened in the world.
C. Disaster relief needs efforts across various departments.
D. Different departments are responsible for building roads and railways.
11. What’s the main idea of this text?
A. China has improved disaster response and recovery.
B. China has developed an early warning system for earthquakes.
C. China organized various departments for post-disaster recovery.
D. China has created specialized departments to respond to earthquakes.
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. C 11. A

Have you ever thought that languages will die? It is thought that one language dies every two weeks. Linguists (语言学家) say there are “an extinct language” and “a dead language”. The former is the language that no longer exists due to there being no speakers or users, while the latter is the one that some people still use, even if there are no native speakers left. Latin is probably the most widely known dead language, which is still studied for academic (学术的) purposes but not used in daily life. There are also endangered languages, which are only spoken by a few elderly people. When they pass away, the language may disappear too.
So, why do languages die? There are many reasons, such as evolution where languages change over time, genocide (种族灭绝) where people are killed along with their language, or when a stronger group forces its language on others. Sometimes, people stop using their language just because they mix with a larger group and adopt its language instead.
For linguists, the loss of a language is a big deal. When a language dies, often the history, traditions and culture of the people who spoke it die too. This makes our understanding of the world less complete. Therefore, some linguists are working hard to prevent languages from dying, even though it’s a challenging task.
There’s a successful example of a language being revived. The native language of the Isle of Man, called Manx, was once almost extinct. But with the support of the community, Manx is no longer a dead language. And for the endangered languages, there’s more hope. The remaining native speakers can help preserve the language before it dies out. Technology helps, too. For example, we can make recordings to digitally preserve dying languages so that when a language does die we still have the ability to keep it frozen in time. And that can make all the difference for future generations who want to learn the language of their ancestors or to dig deeper into their own history.
12. What is “an extinct language”?
A. It is spoken by a few elderly people.
B. It is only used for academic purposes.
C. It is no longer spoken or used by anyone.
D. It is still used but has no native speakers.
13. Why are some linguists trying to prevent a language from dying?
A. Because they want to have a more peaceful world.
B. Because they want to keep people who spoke it alive.
C. Because losing a language would cost a big deal of money.
D. Because a language’s disappearance would result in cultural loss.
14. How can technology help preserve endangered languages?
A. By keeping endangered languages digitally.
B. By teaching the young to dig into their own history.
C. By helping remaining native speakers learn their languages.
D. By encouraging younger generations to pick up their ancestors’ languages.
15. Where is the text probably taken from?
A. A book review.
B. A technology journal.
C. A history magazine.
D. A linguistics magazine.
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. A 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了语言学家们正在努力挽救和保护濒危语言。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Linguists (语言学家) say there are “an extinct language” and “a dead language”. The former is the language that no longer exists due to there being no speakers or users, while the latter is the one that some people still use, even if there are no native speakers left.(语言学家说有“一种灭绝的语言”和“一种死的语言”。前者是由于没有说话者或使用者而不再存在的语言,而后者是一些人仍然使用的语言,即使已经没有母语者了)”可知,“一种灭绝的语言”指的是由于没有说话者或使用者而不再存在的语言,即不再被任何人说或者使用。故选C。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“For linguists, the loss of a language is a big deal. When a language dies, often the history, traditions and culture of the people who spoke it die too. This makes our understanding of the world less complete. Therefore, some linguists are working hard to prevent languages from dying, even though it’s a challenging task.(对于语言学家来说,语言的丧失是一件大事。当一种语言消亡时,说这种语言的人的历史、传统和文化往往也会消亡。这使得我们对世界的理解不那么完整。因此,一些语言学家正在努力防止语言消亡,尽管这是一项具有挑战性的任务)”可知,语言学家努力阻止语言的消亡,是因为一种语言的消失会导致文化损失。故选D。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Technology helps, too. For example, we can make recordings to digitally preserve dying languages so that when a language does die we still have the ability to keep it frozen in time.(技术也有帮助。例如,我们可以制作录音,以数字方式保存垂死的语言,这样当一种语言确实死亡时,我们仍然有能力将其冻结在时间中)”可知,技术通过数字方式帮助保留濒危语言。故选A。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Have you ever thought that languages will die? It is thought that one language dies every two weeks. Linguists (语言学家) say there are “an extinct language” and “a dead language”.(你有没有想过语言会消亡?据认为,每两周就有一种语言死亡。语言学家说有“一种灭绝的语言”和“一种死的语言”)”、第三段“Therefore, some linguists are working hard to prevent languages from dying, even though it’s a challenging task.(因此,一些语言学家正在努力防止语言消亡,尽管这是一项具有挑战性的任务)”以及文章内容可知,本文主要介绍了语言学家们正在努力挽救和保护濒危语言。由此推知,文章可能摘自一本语言学杂志。故选D。

Never delay your planned study period.
It's very easy and common to put off your study period for lack of interest in the subject, or just because the task is hard. ____20____ If you do, your studying will become much less effective and you may not get everything completed.
We're confident that if you develop the habits above you'll see a big improvement in your study.
A. Study at the same time.
B. If so, it's time for a change.
C. Effective students usually study smart.
D. But successful students do not put off studying.

【17题详解】
空前“Do you frequently stay up late to complete your assignments or prepare for tomorrow's exams?(你有没有发现自己晚上熬夜,为了让眼睛睁开花费的精力比学习的时间还多?)”描述了一种学习现象,空后“Successful students rarely try to complete all of their studying in just one or two study periods. (成功的学生很少试图在一两个学习期间完成所有的学习。你需要学会有规律但更短的学习时间)”描述了成功学生的做法;B选项“如果是这样,是时候改变了。”中so指代前一句所指的学习现象,且a change与下文成功学生的做法相对应。故选B项。
【18题详解】
空处为本段小标题;根据段首句“It's important you create a daily study routine.(建立一个每天的学习计划是很重要的)”可知,本段描述与学习计划相关。下一句“When you study at the same time each day and each week, your studying will become a regular part of your life.(当你每天、每周都在同一时间学习时,你的学习就会成为你生活中有规律的一部分)”中study at the same time与A选项“同时学习”对应一致。故选A项。
【19题详解】
根据本段标题“Each study time should have a specific goal.(每次学习时间都应该有一个明确的目标。)”可知,本段描述制定明确的学习目标。空后“You need to know exactly what you need to achieve during each study period.(你需要确切地知道在每个学习阶段你需要达到什么目标)”符合主旨;E选项“光学习没有方向是没有效果的”同样描述了学习目标的重要性,与下一句逻辑一致,从反面和正面分别说明了制定目标的重要性。故选E项。
【20题详解】
空前“It's very easy and common to put off your study period for lack of interest in the subject, or just because the task is hard.((因为对某一科目缺乏兴趣或任务艰巨而推迟学习时间是很容易也是很常见的)”表示推迟学习时间很常见,D选项“但是成功的学生不会推迟学习”与上文构成转折关系,与本段标题“Never delay your planned study period.(不要拖延计划好的学习时间)”相照应,说明成功的学生不会推迟学习,此句中put off与前一句put off照应,符合上下文语意连贯。故选D项。

Santorini, Greece
With its unique blue-roofed churches, whitewashed buildings and colorful beaches, the island is a dream place for photographers. Also, some archaeologically (考古地) significant sites are worth a visit. Locals like to say there’s more wine than water on the island where it doesn’t often rain.

Krista Brown never exercised regularly, though in her adult life, she started doing yoga exercise for the mind-body connection. But that all changed when her son, Tom, died of an accident. She felt like she had lost the world overnight.
A few years later, Krista spotted one old photo with her families, standing on the top of Mount Cloundry. “That was the first real smile I had after my son died,” says Krista. Before long, Krista received an email from an organization that offers support to people who lost loved ones. They were hosting an adventurous tour to Mount Shasta. Krista signed up, knowing it’s time to let go of the past.
During that climb, besides photographing the beauty of sunrise and stars, Krista found something that brought the biggest joy to her. “I really love the planning of it, the experience of working with a team and the focus on survival,” she says. Besides, she shared her story with other members and made life-long friends with them.
Since then, Krista has topped 19 mountains with no plans of stopping. “The most immediate effect of mountaineering (登山运动) is that I actually have a life now, which let me be in the moment. If I miss my step, I’ll slide. So I have to make sure I’m present, neither in the past being sad, nor in the future, wishing things were different.”
Krista says mountaineering has helped her become a better mother too. “Even mothering my other kids, I was in a haze, sending them to the wrong classes or mixing up salt and sugar... The climbing got me out of that mess and got my life back on track.” Her future plans? Summiting Mount Hood and Half Dome in Yosemite National Park this summer.
4. What made Krista start mountaineering?
A. Disinterest to take yoga exercise.
B. Willingness to climb with families.
C. Eagerness to join in an organization.
D. Desire to ease the pain of losing her son.
5. What did Krista enjoy most about mountaineering?
A. The chance to take photos of nature.
B. The peace of surviving difficult weathers.
C. The friendship with other teammates.
D. The experience of planning and teamwork.
6. What direct benefit has Krista gained from mountaineering?
A. A positive attitude.
B. A sound body.
C. Long-term friendship.
D. Good parental methods.
7. Which of the following is the closest in meaning to “haze” in the last paragraph?
A. Delight.
B. Confusion.
C. Satisfaction.
D. Sadness.
C
The 2008 Wenchuan Earthquake, in which tens of thousands of people died and hundreds of thousands injured, was the event that changed everything for China in this field. The 8.0-magnitude quake had presented the most difficult relief (救助) challenges to the country since 1949, leading to a complete review and improvement of the country’s emergency response (应对) capabilities. Since then, preventing and controlling disasters has become a top concern for the Chinese government.
For earthquakes, getting an early warning is extremely important. The Chengdu High-tech Disaster Reduction Center found that a three-second early warning can lower the number of the injured by 14%; a ten-second warning, by 39%; a 20-second warning, by 63%. So in the following years China has developed an automatic (自动的) early warning system which can send out warnings to millions of people in China within just two minutes after an earthquake.
In 2018, the Chinese government also created the Ministry of Emergency Management, together with civil services, the Red Cross, and the National Fire and Rescue Administration to ensure a round-the-clock emergency response. There are now 27 specialized teams for mountain, water, and air rescues, as well as earthquake relief, and seven teams for helping with international rescue efforts.
Whether it is earthquake, typhoon, flood or forest fire, China has an excellent record in post-disaster recovery, as it is able to organize resources from various departments including power, water conservancy and supply, telecommunications and disease control. To reduce the effects of follow-up disasters, these departments would do their parts to repair damaged roads and railways, restore power, water supply, communication and other services to help people get back to normal life.
Disaster relief requires the whole society to work together. And China sets an example of how to prevent loss and save lives by putting the people first.
8. How does this text show the importance of early warning systems?
A. By using quotes.
B. By giving examples.
C. By listing numbers.
D. By making contrast.
9. Why has the government set up the specialized teams?
A. To carry out disaster relief internationally.
B. To help the rescue and recovery work.
C To train local people in disaster prevention.
D. To handle forest fires more effectively.
10. What can we learn from paragraph 4?
A. The effects of follow-up disasters have been reduced.
B. A lot of natural disasters have happened in the world.
C. Disaster relief needs efforts across various departments.
D. Different departments are responsible for building roads and railways.
11. What’s the main idea of this text?
A. China has improved disaster response and recovery.
B. China has developed an early warning system for earthquakes.
C. China organized various departments for post-disaster recovery.
D. China has created specialized departments to respond to earthquakes.
D
Have you ever thought that languages will die? It is thought that one language dies every two weeks. Linguists (语言学家) say there are “an extinct language” and “a dead language”. The former is the language that no longer exists due to there being no speakers or users, while the latter is the one that some people still use, even if there are no native speakers left. Latin is probably the most widely known dead language, which is still studied for academic (学术的) purposes but not used in daily life. There are also endangered languages, which are only spoken by a few elderly people. When they pass away, the language may disappear too.
So, why do languages die? There are many reasons, such as evolution where languages change over time, genocide (种族灭绝) where people are killed along with their language, or when a stronger group forces its language on others. Sometimes, people stop using their language just because they mix with a larger group and adopt its language instead.
For linguists, the loss of a language is a big deal. When a language dies, often the history, traditions and culture of the people who spoke it die too. This makes our understanding of the world less complete. Therefore, some linguists are working hard to prevent languages from dying, even though it’s a challenging task.
There’s a successful example of a language being revived. The native language of the Isle of Man, called Manx, was once almost extinct. But with the support of the community, Manx is no longer a dead language. And for the endangered languages, there’s more hope. The remaining native speakers can help preserve the language before it dies out. Technology helps, too. For example, we can make recordings to digitally preserve dying languages so that when a language does die we still have the ability to keep it frozen in time. And that can make all the difference for future generations who want to learn the language of their ancestors or to dig deeper into their own history.
12. What is “an extinct language”?
A. It is spoken by a few elderly people.
B. It is only used for academic purposes.
C. It is no longer spoken or used by anyone.
D. It is still used but has no native speakers.
13. Why are some linguists trying to prevent a language from dying?
A. Because they want to have a more peaceful world.
B. Because they want to keep people who spoke it alive.
C. Because losing a language would cost a big deal of money.
D. Because a language’s disappearance would result in cultural loss.
14. How can technology help preserve endangered languages?
A. By keeping endangered languages digitally.
B By teaching the young to dig into their own history.
C. By helping remaining native speakers learn their languages.
D. By encouraging younger generations to pick up their ancestors’ languages.
15. Where is the text probably taken from?
A. A book review.
B. A technology journal.
C. A history magazine.
D. A linguistics magazine.
