Here are some of these famous spots that are essential to understand the city’s complicated past. Eiffel Tower Presented as part of the 1889 World Exposition in Paris, the Eiffel Tower has become the city’s most famous attraction. It is accessible on Line 6 or Line 8 of the Paris Metro by Bir-Hakeim or Trocadéro stations. If possible, avoid visiting this spot at peak hours (10:00 a. m.-5:00 p. m.) or on weekends, so you can make the most of your visit to enjoy the views from the top. The best moments are right after it first opens on weekdays. Notre-Dame Cathedral The Notre-Dame Cathedral has long towered alongside the banks of the Seine River ever since the 12th century. With its complicated Gothic (哥特式的) architectural details, it represents Parisian religion and architecture. Although a fire broke out on April 15th, 2019, destroying part of it, it was finally restored and officially reopened to the public on December 7th, 2024. You are able to take the subway Line 4 to get there. Louvre Museum Louvre Museum is one of the most famous art museums in the world where you can witness the city’s rich painting history from the medieval (中世纪的) period to the present. It is easily accessible on Line 1 from the Palais Royal-Musée du Louvre station. It is closed on Tuesdays as well as January 1st, May 1st, and December 25th each year. Arc de Triomphe The Arc de Triomphe serves as a national symbol of France, which was built by Napoleon I in celebration of the victory at the Battle of Austerlitz. Take Line 1,2, or 6 to Charles de Gaulle-Etoile station and you will see the Arc de Triomphe. Visitors can purchase tickets for a tour to the top to enjoy the views of the city. 1. What makes the Notre-Dame Cathedral a symbol of Parisian culture? A. Its rich history. B. Its central location. C. Its global fame. D. Its detailed design. 2. What can we know about the listed attractions? A. They offer visitors free entries. B. They are open to visitors on holidays. C. They are easily accessible by subway. D. They represent similar local architecture. 3. Who is the text intended for? A. Tour guides. B. Painting instructors. C. Architecture majors. D. Sightseeing travelers. B My eyes were glued to the little screen whenever I walked down the street, had dinner with friends or lay in bed at night. The first thing I did when I woke up in the morning was to reach for my phone. Sliding into this habit was easy, but it was difficult to quit it. Then the day came when I finally realized I had to make a change. Head down, eyes on my smartphone, I stepped into the road and a car shot past, nearly knocking me off my feet! At that very moment, I made up my mind to spend a whole week without my smartphone. The first day was the hardest. I was used to checking the news and my friends’ social media updates every few minutes. I kept reaching for my pocket, for my smartphone that was not there. I felt empty and uneasy, as if I had missed something of value. I felt disconnected from everyone and everything. It was scary. But then somehow I began to feel free. I finally picked up the classic novel I had always wanted to read and was soon lost in the beautiful language. I went out for a run and felt more alive than I had in days. Best of all, I began to appreciate the beauty in life with my own eyes, instead of through my smartphone camera. My offline relationships benefited as well. I went for a long walk with an old friend. Our wide-ranging conversation went so much deeper than brief texts ever could. With eyes no longer fixed on our phones, we had a chance to really enjoy staying with each other. I also made sure to spend more time with my parents. We went to the opera, played badminton, and visited museums. We had never felt closer to each other. By the end of the week, I almost did not want to turn my phone back on. Those seven days have given me a great appreciation for life beyond the screen. Life beyond smartphones is richer and more beautiful, and I am going to take advantage of it. Posted at 6:44 p. m., 10th May by Alan 4. What did the writer think of his smartphone use? A. It made him a phone addict. B. It contributed to a sound sleep. C. It prevented him making friends. D. It made his life more convenient. 5. How did the author feel on the first day without his smartphone? A Bored and sleepy. B. Lost and anxious. C. Calm and relaxed. D. Happy and excited. 6. What mainly contributed to the writer’s change in the end? A. He won support from his family and friends. B. He narrowly escaped being knocked down by a car. C. He developed a great appreciation for offline activities. D. He had had enough of his former life with smartphones. 7. Where is the passage most probably taken from? A. A science fiction. B. A personal blog. C. A research report. D. A newspaper column. C Mary-Jo Saunders goes to kindergarten every morning, just like many other five-year-olds in New York. Today, she is learning a poem. What is special is that it is a Chinese poem and that she is able to recite it without an accent. Soon she is going to learn Chinese handwriting too. “Learning the world’s most spoken language might give Mary-Jo a head start in her future career,” says her mother Alison. “I think it’s good for her to stretch herself by listening to and pronouncing new sounds, as well as learning to read and write Chinese characters.” More and more ambitious parents in the world are signing their children up for Chinese classes. Keen for their sons and daughters to succeed in life, they see being fluent in a second or third language as an advantage. Learning Chinese is becoming such a global interest that the language has been included in the education systems of more than 75 countries. Over 4,000 overseas universities offer Chinese language courses and about 25 million people are learning Chinese outside China. It is easy to understand why Chinese is becoming so popular. Learning Chinese may help people get more job opportunities. China is already a global economic power, and its influence is growing. For example, there is China’s Belt and Road Initiative, which motivates many countries along the Silk Road to cooperate more closely. It has created thousands of local jobs, many of which need people with a knowledge of Chinese. Another reason is that studying Chinese provides access to wonderful Chinese history and culture. Adam Turner, a school head teacher in the UK, cites this as one of the most appealing aspects of the recently added Chinese course. “Students love the mystery of China,” he explains. “They want to know all about its traditions, dynasties and art forms. Learning Chinese helps them see life from a new perspective and broaden their minds to the outside world.” 8. Why does Mary-Jo Saunders’s mother have her learn Chinese? A. To give her an advantage in future work. B. To make her a top student in kindergarten. C. To support her to grow into a poetry expert. D. To improve her handwriting skills in general. 9. How does the writer show the global trend of learning Chinese? A. By providing data. B. By giving definitions. C. By making comparison. D. By analyzing cause and effect. 10. What can be inferred from Adam Turner’s words? A. Learning Chinese can ensure a promising future. B. Spreading Chinese language and culture is necessary. C. Studying Chinese can help develop cultural awareness. D. Starting a new Chinese learning program has been an appeal. 11. What could be the best title for the text? A. Global popularity of learning Chinese. B. How Mary-Jo Saunders Learns Chinese. C. The Importance of being ambitious parents. D. How China’s Belt and Road Initiative Progresses. D The dodo is one of the most famous birds ever to have lived and also one of the most mysterious. Considered the first animal to die out due to human actions, it has been described as awkward and unintelligent. A new study is challenging this image, however. The dodo, a flightless bird with a large. hooked beak (鸟喙), lived on Mauritius, an island in the Indian Ocean. Adult dodos were up to about 3 feet tall and weighed up to 51 pounds, making them larger than a modern turkey. They likely ate fruits, nuts, and seeds from the forest floor and swallowed stones to break up food in their bodies, which some modern birds do as well Few dodo fossils or samples of soft tissue (组织) have been found, which means scientists haven’t been able to learn much else about them. To address that, a research team looked through 400 years of writing and scientific gatherings on the dodo. They concluded that the animal was probably not such an awkward bird after all. Written descriptions of live dodos suggested that the birds actually moved quickly. The team also re-examined dodo fossils and remains and concluded that the bird had powerful tendons (肌腱) in its toes-just similar to modern birds that climb and run. This provided further evidence that the dodo was an active, speedy bird. “The birds were fast and, before being wiped out, had been doing their thing and doing it incredibly well for millions of years,” said Neil Gostling, an author of the recent study. Scientists think dodos went extinct in the 1600s when Dutch sailors in Mauritius began hunting them. Dodos didn’t have predators on the island before that, so they weren’t afraid of humans and were easy to catch. This contributed to the idea that the birds were slow and not smart. However, scientists also know that sailors brought cats, dogs, pigs, and rats, which ate dodos’ chicks and damaged their habitat, helping to kill them off. The research team’s work is just the beginning of a larger project aimed at finding out more about the ancient creature. “The mystery of the dodo bird is about to be cracked wide open,” said Markus Heler, another author of the study. 12. What was the traditional view of the dodo? A. It was a large and skilled flyer. B. It was a clever and adaptable bird. C. It moved slowly and appeared dull. D. It shared habits with some modern Lirds. 13. How did the researchers gain more knowledge about the dodo? A. By studying a copy of dodo fossils and relics. B. By analyzing the creature’s genetic structure. C. By looking through old records and collections. D. By watching behaviors of similar modern species. 14. What does the underlined word mean in paragraph 5? A. Friends. B. Hunters. C. Neighbors. D. Competitors. 15. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. The expert regarded the study as a fruitless attempt. B. Few projects are being done on the bird’s extinction. C. The research team has cracked the secret of the bird. D. Gaps in knowledge about this creature are noticeable. 第二节 (共5 小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Try writing your own stories Creative writing is a fun way to express your thoughts and emotions.
