Beijing has a large number of old trees. A survey showed that the city had about 40,000 century-old trees. Among them, more than 6,100 were over 300 years old. It’s said that the longest living tree is about 3,000 years old, almost as old as the city itself. Nearly half of the old trees are in old streets and ancient gardens.
However, about 9,000 of the old trees are in danger because of environmental changes, natural disasters (灾害), poor management and so on.
In 2019, Beijing government started a project to protect trees that are over 100 years old. They first found two ginkgoes (银杏树) and two pagoda trees (国槐) at the foot of Beijing’s Western Hills.
Yang Shutian, director of the project, said that old trees could be seen as “living relics (遗迹)” and keeping them healthy was also part of the work to protect and carry forward (延续) the city’s history.
A group of tree experts carried out an examination of the four old trees, which were very weak and dying. The experts soon took action to save the trees. They filled holes, controlled pests (害虫) and watered the trees over the next two months. The trees are now very strong. According to Yang, more old trees in the city will be protected through the project.
“The old trees have witnessed (见证) the city’s development and played a key role in improving the city’s environment. To make them healthy is our duty,” Yang added.
39. How old is the oldest tree in Beijing?
A. It’s about 300 years old. B. It’s about 3,000 years old.
C. It’s about 6,100 years old. D. It’s about 40,000 years old.
40. Which of the following is not the reason why the trees are in danger?
A. Environmental changes. B. Natural disasters.
C. Poor management. D. Protection project.
41. Which paragraphs tell us the importance of protecting those old trees?(①= Paragraph 1)
A. ①② B. ②④ C. ③⑤ D. ④⑥
【答案】39. B 40. D 41. D
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了北京的古树处于危险状态以及北京市政府保护古树的一些措施。
【39题详解】
细节理解题。根据“It’s said that the longest living tree is about 3,000 years old”可知,北京最古老的树大约有3000年树龄。故选B。
【40题详解】
细节理解题。根据“about 9,000 of the old trees are in danger because of environmental changes, natural disasters (灾害), poor management and so on”可知,树木面临危险的原因是环境变化、自然灾害和管理不善等,而保护项目(Protection project)是为了保护古树,并非导致它们处于危险的原因。故选D。
【41题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Yang Shutian, director of the project, said that old trees could be seen as ‘living relics (遗迹)’ and keeping them healthy was also part of the work to protect and carry forward (延续) the city’s history.”可知古树对城市历史的重要性;根据第六段“The old trees have witnessed (见证) the city’s development and played a key role in improving the city’s environment.”可知古树在城市发展和环境方面的重要性。所以④⑥段讲述了保护古树的重要性。故选D。

Villages in China have enjoyed their development in a digital (数字的) way in recent years. With the help of ________, villagers are living an easier and happier life.
Farming in the past was not an easy job. Farmers worked hard all year round. At the same time, they usually found it difficult to solve problems like plant diseases (疾病) and pests (害虫). Now, farming has big changes. For example, in Dayi County, Sichuan Province, there are 13 digital farms with AI machines.

They can also use drones (无人机) to help with their farm work.
More visitors travel to beautiful villages because of digital technology. A good example is Huacheng Town, Guangdong Province. To let more people know its culture and attract more visitors, it turns into a “digital town”. Visitors can know where to park their cars for free, when to book a ticket easily and what to buy online. They can also enjoy the sight of nearly every part of the town by using VR.

A. kind people B. digital technology C. famous scientists D. modern machines
43. How did the writer show the big changes about farming in Paragraph 2?
A. By explaining some reasons. B. By offering some advice.
C. By using some numbers. D. By giving an example.
44. Why is it faster now to sell fresh fruit and vegetables to cities according to the text?
A. Because trains run faster. B. Because highways become better.
C. Because rural e-commerce develops. D. Because farmers are much richer.
45. What is the best structure (结构) of this text? (P= Paragraph)

Her friend, Doris, was sitting at the table with a cup of coffee in her hands. “You want to call the police because she picks your strawberries?” she asked.
“Of course,” Molly answered angrily. “What would you do if your neighbor walked into your yard without your permission (允许) and picked your strawberries?”
“I would say, better her than the bees.”
“The bees don’t take my strawberries.”
“But the birds do,” Doris continued. “That old lady only picks a few strawberries every year, and the only ones she picks are those you leave to the birds. Why don’t you pick some of your good strawberries and give them to her?”
“Are you crazy? What are you thinking?”
“Don’t you remember what happened when you were in hospital last year? She went to see you and gave you a pot full of chicken soup. When you give her the strawberries you can tell her that you still remember that.”

During the Warring States Period (春秋战国), King Zhao of the State of Yan (燕昭王) wanted to gather (召集) talented people to make the state strong. He asked the scholar (学者) Guo Wei for advice. Guo told the king a story.
In ancient times, there was a king who wanted a special kind of horse. This horse could run 1,000 li a day. It was called qianlima. He sent many people to find these horses and buy them for him. After three years, nobody found him such a horse.
One day, someone new volunteered to help. Within three months, he heard about a qianlima. He rushed to find it, but the horse was already dead. Still, he bought the bones (骨头) of the horse with 500 pieces of gold. The king was very angry. “What I want is a live horse, not the bones of a dead horse!” The man answered slowly, “Imagine this. You’re willing to pay a high price for a dead horse, let alone (更不用说) a live one. This shows that you really want to buy the horses. Just wait and the horses you want will come very soon.” Actually, within a year, many qianlima owners brought their horses to the king.
Guo told the king that he could see himself as the bones of the horse. “If I am-valued, more talented people will be willing to serve you,” he said. The king built houses for Guo and treated him as a teacher. Soon, talented people from all over the state came to help the king. His state finally beat the State of Qi.

A. Happy. B. Worried. C. Angry. D. Excited.

A. It could help the king gather talented people.
B. Horse owners would see the king’s need for qianlima.
C. More people would kill their horses to sell horse bones.
D. The king could tell qianlima from common horses this way.
52. Guo compared himself to ________ in the story he told.

Mi is a street artist in Sichuan Province. He has been making clay figurines (泥人) for more than 10 years.
In 2003, Mi lost his hands in an accident. However, he didn’t give in, and he learned to eat and get dressed on his own. He had a family to take care of, so he thought that he must find a way to make a living by himself. After seeing an artist making clay figurines on the street, Mi was interested in it and decided to learn it.
“The artist said he couldn’t teach me because I had no fingers. I didn’t give up and finally he agreed to teach me how to make clay figurines,” Mi said.
Learning clay figurines was difficult. At first he could only make two roses (玫瑰) in an afternoon. And his arms were often sore after all of the practice. However, he never thought about giving up.
Now Mi can make a living by making clay figurines. “An easy clay figurine takes about seven minutes, and I can make about 30 figurines a day,” Mi says. Whenever he sits on the ground to make clay figurines, many people will quickly come to watch him.
Mi doesn’t set prices for his figurines. People can pay as they like. In this way, each figurine is sold for about 20 yuan on average (平均).
Mi is full of hope for a better future because he knows his hard work will pay off.
53. Why did Mi have to make a living? (不超过10个词)
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
54. How much can he earn (赚得) every day according to the passage? (不超过5个词)

55. You are really inspiring.

【导语】本文讲述了四川的一位街头艺人米先生在失去双手后,通过自己的努力学会了制作泥人,并以此谋生的故事。

根据“He had a family to take care of, so he thought that he must find a way to make a living by himself.”可知,因为他有个家庭要照顾,所以必须要谋生。故填Because he had a family to take care of.
【54题详解】
根据“An easy clay figurine takes about seven minutes, and I can make about 30 figurines a day”及“each figurine is sold for about 20 yuan on average (平均).”可知,米先生每天可以做大约30个泥人,每个泥人大约20元,因此他每天可以赚大约600元。故填About 600 yuan.
【55题详解】
开放性试题,回答合理即可。参考答案为You are really inspiring.
六、单词拼写
56. I really like my English teacher because she is friendly and f________ (公平的).
【答案】(f)air
【解析】

57. It is believed that the project will l________ (持续) four years.
【答案】(l)ast
【解析】
【详解】句意:据说该项目将持续四年。根据汉语及首字母提示可知,last意为“持续;延续” , will后接动词原形,故填(l)ast。

60. The young man stood there and 1________(举起)his arms above his head.
【答案】(l)ifted

【答案】例文
Dear David,
How are you? I’d like to share a story with you.
Last Friday, on Wang Hong’s way home, she saw a big tree was blown down by wind and it blocked the way. After Wang Hong saw it, she picked up the branches on the ground and then moved the trunk again. But the trunk was so heavy that she couldn’t move it by herself. When other people saw what she was doing, they were moved by her and came to help her. Finally, they succeeded in moving the trunk away.
I think she is a very kind person. And from this story, I learn that we should offer to help when someone needs help. It not only helps others, but also makes ourselves happy.

Yours,

Beijing has a large number of old trees. A survey showed that the city had about 40,000 century-old trees. Among them, more than 6,100 were over 300 years old. It’s said that the longest living tree is about 3,000 years old, almost as old as the city itself. Nearly half of the old trees are in old streets and ancient gardens.
However, about 9,000 of the old trees are in danger because of environmental changes, natural disasters (灾害), poor management and so on.
In 2019, Beijing government started a project to protect trees that are over 100 years old. They first found two ginkgoes (银杏树) and two pagoda trees (国槐) at the foot of Beijing’s Western Hills.
Yang Shutian, director of the project, said that old trees could be seen as “living relics (遗迹)” and keeping them healthy was also part of the work to protect and carry forward (延续) the city’s history.
A group of tree experts carried out an examination of the four old trees, which were very weak and dying. The experts soon took action to save the trees. They filled holes, controlled pests (害虫) and watered the trees over the next two months. The trees are now very strong. According to Yang, more old trees in the city will be protected through the project.
“The old trees have witnessed (见证) the city’s development and played a key role in improving the city’s environment. To make them healthy is our duty,” Yang added.
39. How old is the oldest tree in Beijing?
A. It’s about 300 years old. B. It’s about 3,000 years old.
C. It’s about 6,100 years old. D. It’s about 40,000 years old.
40. Which of the following is not the reason why the trees are in danger?
A. Environmental changes. B. Natural disasters.
C. Poor management. D. Protection project.

Villages in China have enjoyed their development in a digital (数字的) way in recent years. With the help of ________, villagers are living an easier and happier life.
Farming in the past was not an easy job. Farmers worked hard all year round. At the same time, they usually found it difficult to solve problems like plant diseases (疾病) and pests (害虫). Now, farming has big changes. For example, in Dayi County, Sichuan Province, there are 13 digital farms with AI machines. These machines help local farmers know when and how to fertilize (施肥) and kill pests.
Selling fresh fruit and vegetables to cities is faster. Thanks to the Internet, a new business called rural e-commerce (乡村电子商务) grows. Compared with the past, it is now easy for people to buy things on their phones. The business also helps villagers live a digital life. They can get many things done in different kinds of apps. They can also use drones (无人机) to help with their farm work.
More visitors travel to beautiful villages because of digital technology. A good example is Huacheng Town, Guangdong Province. To let more people know its culture and attract more visitors, it turns into a “digital town”. Visitors can know where to park their cars for free, when to book a ticket easily and what to buy online. They can also enjoy the sight of nearly every part of the town by using VR.
42. Which of the following is the proper one to fill in “________” in Paragraph 1?
A. kind people B. digital technology C. famous scientists D. modern machines
43. How did the writer show the big changes about farming in Paragraph 2?
A. By explaining some reasons. B. By offering some advice.
C. By using some numbers. D. By giving an example.
44. Why is it faster now to sell fresh fruit and vegetables to cities according to the text?
A. Because trains run faster. B. Because highways become better.
C. Because rural e-commerce develops. D. Because farmers are much richer.

Molly Daniels opened the door so hard that the door nearly broke it. Then she looked through the window at her neighbor across the yard. “She is in my garden again. Those are my strawberries, not hers. Maybe I should call the police.”
Her friend, Doris, was sitting at the table with a cup of coffee in her hands. “You want to call the police because she picks your strawberries?” she asked.
“Of course,” Molly answered angrily. “What would you do if your neighbor walked into your yard without your permission (允许) and picked your strawberries?”
“I would say, better her than the bees.”
“The bees don’t take my strawberries.”
“But the birds do,” Doris continued. “That old lady only picks a few strawberries every year, and the only ones she picks are those you leave to the birds. Why don’t you pick some of your good strawberries and give them to her?”
“Are you crazy? What are you thinking?”
“Don’t you remember what happened when you were in hospital last year? She went to see you and gave you a pot full of chicken soup. When you give her the strawberries you can tell her that you still remember that.”
Molly was shocked. She had almost forgotten that little kindness because she was too angry. Then she picked a basket of good strawberries and went out. Through the window, Doris could see that the anger on Molly’s face changed into a bright smile.

During the Warring States Period (春秋战国), King Zhao of the State of Yan (燕昭王) wanted to gather (召集) talented people to make the state strong. He asked the scholar (学者) Guo Wei for advice. Guo told the king a story.
In ancient times, there was a king who wanted a special kind of horse. This horse could run 1,000 li a day. It was called qianlima. He sent many people to find these horses and buy them for him. After three years, nobody found him such a horse.
One day, someone new volunteered to help. Within three months, he heard about a qianlima. He rushed to find it, but the horse was already dead. Still, he bought the bones (骨头) of the horse with 500 pieces of gold. The king was very angry. “What I want is a live horse, not the bones of a dead horse!” The man answered slowly, “Imagine this. You’re willing to pay a high price for a dead horse, let alone (更不用说) a live one. This shows that you really want to buy the horses. Just wait and the horses you want will come very soon.” Actually, within a year, many qianlima owners brought their horses to the king.
Guo told the king that he could see himself as the bones of the horse. “If I am-valued, more talented people will be willing to serve you,” he said. The king built houses for Guo and treated him as a teacher. Soon, talented people from all over the state came to help the king. His state finally beat the State of Qi.

Mi is a street artist in Sichuan Province. He has been making clay figurines (泥人) for more than 10 years.
In 2003, Mi lost his hands in an accident. However, he didn’t give in, and he learned to eat and get dressed on his own. He had a family to take care of, so he thought that he must find a way to make a living by himself. After seeing an artist making clay figurines on the street, Mi was interested in it and decided to learn it.
“The artist said he couldn’t teach me because I had no fingers. I didn’t give up and finally he agreed to teach me how to make clay figurines,” Mi said.
Learning clay figurines was difficult. At first he could only make two roses (玫瑰) in an afternoon. And his arms were often sore after all of the practice. However, he never thought about giving up.
Now Mi can make a living by making clay figurines. “An easy clay figurine takes about seven minutes, and I can make about 30 figurines a day,” Mi says. Whenever he sits on the ground to make clay figurines, many people will quickly come to watch him.
