People believe that climbing can do good to health. Where can you learn the skill of climbing then? If you think that you have to go to the mountains to learn how to climb, you’re wrong. Many Americans are learning to climb in city gyms. Here, people are learning on special climbing walls. The climbing wall goes straight up and has small holding places for hands and feet.
How do people climb the wall? To climb need special shoes and a harness (保护带) around your chest to hold you. There are ropes tied to your harness. The ropes hold you in place so that you don’t fall. A beginner’s wall is usually about 15 feet high, and you climb straight up. There are small pieces of metal that stick out for you to stand on and hold on to. Sometimes it’s easy to see the new piece of metal. Sometimes, it’s not. The most difficult is to control your fear. It’s normal for humans to be afraid of falling, so it’s difficult not to feel fear. But when you move away from the wall, the harness and the ropes hold you, and you begin to feel safe. You move slowly until you reach the top.
Climbing’ attracts people because it’s good exercise for almost everyone. You use your whole body, especially your arms and legs. This sport gives your body a complete workout. When you climb, both your mind and your body can become stronger.

It probably won’t surprise you that teens are texting more than ever before. Experts show great concern for teen texting. Students might not learn correct grammar and spelling if they write a lot of text messages. Also all that texting takes away from hours that could be spent studying, exercising, pursuing hobbies, or talking with others face to face. Some kids even sleep with their phones beneath their pillows and wake up several times during the night to text.
Dr. Elizabeth Dowdell points out teens need to learn that they can—and should—turn off their phones sometimes. She and her team had two teenagers, Kenny and Franchesca, carry out an experiment. They should obey the rules: No phone for 48 hours. No computer or Internet either, unless it was for schoolwork. Would these two teenagers be able to do it?
“I think I’m going to feel really alone,” Kenny worried. Franchesca was nervous but brave. “I’m excited for the challenge,” she said. “I don’t know what’s going to happen.” They handed their phones to their mothers for safekeeping. The challenge was on.
The team caught up with Kenny and Franchesca after 48 phone-free hours. “Wow, it was pure suffering,” Kenny joked. “Though life with no phone wasn’t easy,” he admitted, “it had benefits. I felt less stressed because I didn’t have to be involved.” Sure, Kenny missed his friends, and he was sad at times. But he also felt relief from the constant texting. Instead of texting, Kenny went to the gym and caught up on schoolwork. He said that the first night he slept for 10 hours. He also spent time sitting with his family and talking. “I felt closer to my parents,” said Kenny.
Franchesca had an even happier result when she put away her phone. “I loved it!” she said. “I was going to the gym and hanging out with friends and playing basketball. I had a wonderful experience.” She slept better too, and she decided to continue the experiment for a while. “I think I’ll be so much smarter and healthier,” she explained. “Everybody in the world should try it.”
Kenny doesn’t plan to give up his phone again. But he now knows that he can live without it. “It was a reality check,” said the teen.
8. Experts are concerned about teens’ texting because it ______.
A. leads to learning disabilities
B. takes up their learning time
C. develops the habit of staying up late
D. causes misunderstandings with each other
9. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. Teens will live a healthier life without phones.
B. Expecting teens to live without phones is not realistic.
C. Experimenting with phone use is popular among teens.
D. Teens don’t realize how different their lives are without phones.
10. How were the two teens’ reactions to the 48-hour challenge different?
A. Only Kenny participated in physical activities.
B. Only Kenny spent time talking with his parents.
C. Only Franchesca benefited from a really good sleep.
D. Only Franchesca appreciated the freedom of having no phone.
11. Which is the best title for the passage?
A. Giving up Texting B. Rules for Using Phones
C. Two Days with No Phone D. Problems Caused by Texting
D
Wherever we go, we are surrounded by history. Across the globe, cultural heritage is passed down through the generations. It is in the buildings and structures around us. It is in the arts and artifacts (手工艺品) we treasure. It lives in the languages we speak and the stories we tell. But today, it is under destruction as never before. Not only are the damages of time threatening our cultural heritage, but climate change, globalization and tourism are all demanding a heavy price. Technology is now the most important weapon in the battle. Here’s how technology is preserving our cultural heritage.
As you can imagine, creating the replicas (复制品) by 2 D images is extremely time-consuming. Increasingly, artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms (算法) allow millions of images to be stored in a matter of hours. AI will also make restoration (修复) and preservation of existing cultural heritage far easier and better than methods before.
Virtual reality (VR) technology will play a leading role in preserving our cultural heritage in the coming years. Many of the most important sites and architecture are easily damaged. The presence of hundreds of thousands of tourists on these locations is doing a great deal of harm. Wastes pile up everywhere, causing serious problems. As more cultural heritage sites and objects are digitally mapped and recorded, VR technology will increasingly become the way that people experience them. We’ll all finally be able to walk through places, look at (and touch) artifacts and works of art without ever seeing them with our own eyes.
Finally, our cultural heritage will be preserved by technology. Efforts in research, data sharing and project work will help promote and preserve the cultural heritage of countries all across the world.
12. According to paragraph 1, cultural heritage_____.
A. will never disappear B. will under perfect protection
C. is faced with challenges now D. is damaged by modern technology
13. What is the advantage of AI in preserving cultural heritage?
A. It makes restoration easier. B. It makes preservation safer.
C. It creates replicas in seconds. D. It produces 2D images.
14. How does VR help to preserve cultural heritage?
A By burying a huge number of wastes.
B. By reducing human influence on the site.
C. By preventing visitors from touching artifacts.
D. By educating people about the sites’ importance.
15. What is the author’s attitude towards technology in cultural protection?
A. Supportive. B. Disagreeing. C. Doubtful. D. Neutral.

Winslow Homer was a famous American painter. Since Art History class in college, I had always admired (钦佩) his works and I was lucky to see a large exhibition of his works when I was in my early 30s. It was at this event that I bought a print of his painting Snap the Whip. When I got it, I was so happy that I put it on the wall of my classroom immediately. So, it always hung (挂) in my classroom until I retired from teaching.
I thought it truly caught the freedom and fun of childhood. In the painting, a group of young boys are playing a game arm in arm on the grass ground in front of a farm house. They are jumping and laughing wildly with great joy. One of the boys is falling down to the ground. They are not even wearing shoes! I liked the freedom and the fun appearing in the painting and I tried to let my children have this kind of freedom and fun in my class.
During my last year of teaching, there was a young woman in her first year of teaching right next door to me and we got to be good friends. She had been an art student before taking up education. I still remembered the first time that she saw the painting on my wall. Her eyes were full of joy at this print when she entered my room. She was excited at the painting. We talked about it for a long time. We shared a lot in common about the theme of the painting. So on my last day of teaching, after the students had left, I took the painting off the wall and walked to the next door and gave it to her.
Para. 1:She was really surprised, but very glad to have it.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Para. 2: I finally shared my feelings about this painting with her.

Sometimes it’s easy to see the new piece of metal. Sometimes, it’s not. The most difficult is to control your fear. It’s normal for humans to be afraid of falling, so it’s difficult not to feel fear. But when you move away from the wall, the harness and the ropes hold you, and you begin to feel safe. You move slowly until you reach the top.
Climbing’ attracts people because it’s good exercise for almost everyone. You use your whole body, especially your arms and legs. This sport gives your body a complete workout. When you climb, both your mind and your body can become stronger.

It probably won’t surprise you that teens are texting more than ever before. Experts show great concern for teen texting. Students might not learn correct grammar and spelling if they write a lot of text messages. Also all that texting takes away from hours that could be spent studying, exercising, pursuing hobbies, or talking with others face to face. Some kids even sleep with their phones beneath their pillows and wake up several times during the night to text.
Dr. Elizabeth Dowdell points out teens need to learn that they can—and should—turn off their phones sometimes. She and her team had two teenagers, Kenny and Franchesca, carry out an experiment. They should obey the rules: No phone for 48 hours. No computer or Internet either, unless it was for schoolwork. Would these two teenagers be able to do it?
“I think I’m going to feel really alone,” Kenny worried. Franchesca was nervous but brave. “I’m excited for the challenge,” she said. “I don’t know what’s going to happen.” They handed their phones to their mothers for safekeeping. The challenge was on.
The team caught up with Kenny and Franchesca after 48 phone-free hours. “Wow, it was pure suffering,” Kenny joked. “Though life with no phone wasn’t easy,” he admitted, “it had benefits. I felt less stressed because I didn’t have to be involved.” Sure, Kenny missed his friends, and he was sad at times. But he also felt relief from the constant texting. Instead of texting, Kenny went to the gym and caught up on schoolwork. He said that the first night he slept for 10 hours. He also spent time sitting with his family and talking. “I felt closer to my parents,” said Kenny.
Franchesca had an even happier result when she put away her phone. “I loved it!” she said. “I was going to the gym and hanging out with friends and playing basketball. I had a wonderful experience.” She slept better too, and she decided to continue the experiment for a while. “I think I’ll be so much smarter and healthier,” she explained. “Everybody in the world should try it.”
Kenny doesn’t plan to give up his phone again. But he now knows that he can live without it. “It was a reality check,” said the teen.
8. Experts are concerned about teens’ texting because it ______.
A. leads to learning disabilities
B. takes up their learning time
C. develops the habit of staying up late
D. causes misunderstandings with each other
9. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. Teens will live a healthier life without phones.
B. Expecting teens to live without phones is not realistic.
C. Experimenting with phone use is popular among teens.
D. Teens don’t realize how different their lives are without phones.
10. How were the two teens’ reactions to the 48-hour challenge different?
A. Only Kenny participated in physical activities.
B. Only Kenny spent time talking with his parents.
C. Only Franchesca benefited from a really good sleep.
D. Only Franchesca appreciated the freedom of having no phone.
11. Which is the best title for the passage?
A. Giving up Texting B. Rules for Using Phones
C. Two Days with No Phone D. Problems Caused by Texting

Wherever we go, we are surrounded by history. Across the globe, cultural heritage is passed down through the generations. It is in the buildings and structures around us. It is in the arts and artifacts (手工艺品) we treasure. It lives in the languages we speak and the stories we tell. But today, it is under destruction as never before. Not only are the damages of time threatening our cultural heritage, but climate change, globalization and tourism are all demanding a heavy price. Technology is now the most important weapon in the battle. Here’s how technology is preserving our cultural heritage.
As you can imagine, creating the replicas (复制品) by 2 D images is extremely time-consuming. Increasingly, artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms (算法) allow millions of images to be stored in a matter of hours. AI will also make restoration (修复) and preservation of existing cultural heritage far easier and better than methods before.
Virtual reality (VR) technology will play a leading role in preserving our cultural heritage in the coming years. Many of the most important sites and architecture are easily damaged. The presence of hundreds of thousands of tourists on these locations is doing a great deal of harm. Wastes pile up everywhere, causing serious problems. As more cultural heritage sites and objects are digitally mapped and recorded, VR technology will increasingly become the way that people experience them. We’ll all finally be able to walk through places, look at (and touch) artifacts and works of art without ever seeing them with our own eyes.
Finally, our cultural heritage will be preserved by technology. Efforts in research, data sharing and project work will help promote and preserve the cultural heritage of countries all across the world.
12. According to paragraph 1, cultural heritage_____.
A. will never disappear B. will under perfect protection
C. is faced with challenges now D. is damaged by modern technology
13. What is the advantage of AI in preserving cultural heritage?
A. It makes restoration easier. B. It makes preservation safer.
C. It creates replicas in seconds. D. It produces 2D images.
14. How does VR help to preserve cultural heritage?
A. By burying a huge number of wastes.
B. By reducing human influence on the site.
C. By preventing visitors from touching artifacts.
D. By educating people about the sites’ importance.
15. What is the author’s attitude towards technology in cultural protection?
A. Supportive. B. Disagreeing. C. Doubtful. D. Neutral.
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. B 15. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了现代科技是如何应用在文化遗产的保护上的。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“But today, it is under destruction as never before. Not only are the damages of time threatening our cultural heritage, but climate change, globalization and tourism are all demanding a heavy price. (但是今天,它正遭受前所未有的破坏。时间的破坏不仅威胁着我们的文化遗产,而且气候变化、全球化和旅游业都使得文化遗产付出沉重的代价。)”可知,文化遗产正在面临着挑战,故选C。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“AI will also make restoration (修复) and preservation of existing cultural heritage far easier and better than methods before.(人工智能将使现有文化遗产的恢复和保护比以前的方法更容易和更好。)”可知,人工智能在保护文化遗产方面的优势是它能使文化遗产的恢复更容易。故选A。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“Many of the most important sites and architecture are easily damaged. The presence of hundreds of thousands of tourists on these locations is doing a great deal of harm. Wastes pile up everywhere, causing serious problems. As more cultural heritage sites and objects are digitally mapped and recorded, VR technology will increasingly become the way that people experience them.(许多最重要的遗址和建筑很容易受到破坏。成千上万的游客出现在这些地方造成了极大的伤害。垃圾到处堆积,造成严重的问题。随着越来越多的文化遗产地点和物品被数字化地图和记录,虚拟现实技术将越来越成为人们体验它们的方式。)”可知,虚拟现实技术是通过减少人类对遗址的影响来保护文化遗址的,故选B。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Finally, our cultural heritage will be preserved by technology. Efforts in research, data sharing and project work will help promote and preserve the cultural heritage of countries all across the world.(最后,我们的文化遗产将通过技术来保存。在研究、数据共享和项目工作方面的努力将有助于促进和保护世界各国的文化遗产。)”可知,作者认为科技有助于保护文化遗产,由此可推知,作者支持科技用于文化遗产的保护,故选A。

考查非谓语动词。句意:塔拉哈西警察局Facebook页面上的一篇帖子写道:“怀特警官花了一些时间来解释911是如何使用的,以及它是如何应对紧急情况的。”It took sb. time/money to do sth.花费某人时间或金钱做某事,句中不定式作主语。故填to explain。
【39题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:除了教孩子如何正确使用911,怀特还给了孩子一个毛绒玩具,让他坐在自己的车里。in addition to除了,to为介词,介词后跟动名词形式。故填giving。
【40题详解】
考查时态。句意:自从这个暖心的故事在Facebook上分享后,它吸引了数百条被故事感动的人的评论。根据“Since the heartwarming story was shared on Facebook”可知,使用现在完成时,主语为it,助动词用has。故填has attracted。
【41题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:自从这个暖心的故事在Facebook上分享后,它吸引了数百条被故事感动的人的评论。非谓语动词作定语修饰people,people与touch是被动关系,所以用过去分词形式。故填touched。
【42题详解】
考查冠词。句意:这是一个多么不寻常的故事啊!story为可数名词,第一次出现,要用不定冠词,不定冠词后单词extraordinary首字母发音为元音音素,所以用不定冠词an。故填an。
【43题详解】
考查名词。句意:这也是一个很好的学习经验的机会——正确使用911的重要性。the+n.+of为固定结构,空处需填抽象名词importance。故填importance。
【44题详解】
考查副词。句意:特所做的一切对那些受到这个故事启发的人产生了积极的影响。修饰谓语动词要用副词,句中修饰谓语动词 influences。故填positively。
【45题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:特所做的一切对那些受到这个故事启发的人产生了积极的影响。空处引导定语从句,先行词those,指人,在定语从句中作主语,所以用关系代词who引导。故填who。

【答案】Dear Editor,
I am very glad to contribute to your magazine.
Computer games are popular with students. However, some side effects arise along with them. Many students can’t control themselves and become addicted to computer games. They spend most of their time playing computer games instead of studying, which causes their grades to drop sharply.
Personally, I think some effective measures should be taken to solve this problem. To begin with, computer game designers should pay attention to combining computer games with education. And then, parents should teach their children to surf the Internet in a correct way. Finally, students should develop their self-control to deal with the relationship between studying and playing well.
Yours truly,
Li Hua

Winslow Homer was a famous American painter. Since Art History class in college, I had always admired (钦佩) his works and I was lucky to see a large exhibition of his works when I was in my early 30s. It was at this event that I bought a print of his painting Snap the Whip. When I got it, I was so happy that I put it on the wall of my classroom immediately. So, it always hung (挂) in my classroom until I retired from teaching.
I thought it truly caught the freedom and fun of childhood. In the painting, a group of young boys are playing a game arm in arm on the grass ground in front of a farm house. They are jumping and laughing wildly with great joy. One of the boys is falling down to the ground. They are not even wearing shoes! I liked the freedom and the fun appearing in the painting and I tried to let my children have this kind of freedom and fun in my class.
During my last year of teaching, there was a young woman in her first year of teaching right next door to me and we got to be good friends. She had been an art student before taking up education. I still remembered the first time that she saw the painting on my wall. Her eyes were full of joy at this print when she entered my room. She was excited at the painting. We talked about it for a long time. We shared a lot in common about the theme of the painting. So on my last day of teaching, after the students had left, I took the painting off the wall and walked to the next door and gave it to her.
Para. 1:She was really surprised, but very glad to have it.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Para. 2: I finally shared my feelings about this painting with her.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】范文
She was really surprised, but very glad to have it. She said, “I like it very much. I understand what you want me to do and I will treasure it and try my best to let children enjoy their wonderful childhood.” I was happy that she liked it and all the students she would have would treasure it as much as I had. We found a perfect place for it on one of her walls and hung it together. I thought I had found a good place for the painting.
I finally shared my feelings about this painting with her. Pointing at the painting on her wall, I said, “This painting has brought me a lot, which made me have a deep thought about teaching. I think it also will remind you of what real education is.” Then she walked me out to the playground, where the children were playing happily. I wished that children could enjoy the freedom and fun of their childhood.
