With a history of over 3, 000 years, it has given birth to many dynasties. If planning a short tour, be sure to visit the recommended attractions that truly capture the spirit of this ancient city. The Terracotta Army The Terracotta Army is a remarkable archaeological find and a popular tourist destination in China. Constructed by Emperor Qin Shihuang in the 3rd century BC, it features life-size terracot- ta soldiers, horses, and chariots arranged in battle formation. The museum houses three vaults(墓 穴) and an exhibition hal, with Vault One being the largest, displaying over 6,000 figures. These sculptures offer insights of high value into ancient China􀆳s history, military, and culture. Xi􀆳an Ancient City Wal Xi􀆳an Ancient City Wal was built in the 14th century by Zhu Yuanzhang, the first emperor of the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) as a military defence system. Now it is one of the oldest and best YT5 英语试卷 第3 页(共8页) -preserved Chinese city wals. The wal is now a landmark, dividing the city into inner and outer areas. When you take a strol or cycle on the massive wal, you can enjoy a good view of the city, the moat(护城河) and the watchtowers. Giant Wild Goose Pagoda The Giant Wild Goose Pagoda in China was built during the Tang Dynasty as a study place for Buddhist texts. It stored sutras(佛经) and sculptures brought from India by Monk Xuan Zang, who translated scriptures here for 19 years. Situated in Da Ci􀆳en Temple, the pagoda􀆳s impressive brick structure reflects traditional Chinese architecture, creating a solemn and magnificent atmos- phere. Shaanxi History Museum The Shaanxi History Museum displays 370,000 relics found in Shaanxi, China, including bronze ware(青铜器), pottery figures, gold and silverware, and Tang Dynasty murals. 18 pieces are national treasures. Xi􀆳an, the former capital, has many historical sites. The museum is divided into three sections, exhibiting artifacts from primitive eras to the late Qing Dynasty. 21.Which of the folowing attractions was built as a military defence system?

A.They were built at the same period. B.They both divide the city into two areas. C.They were both built by emperors. D.They both offer a good view of the city. 23.What can we know about the Giant Wild Goose Pagoda? A.It was built during the Tang Dynasty. B.It was brought from India by Xuan Zang. C.It was written in the Buddhist texts. D.It was used as a study place for goose. B I had always dreamed of living and working in New York, which promised endless opportuni- ties. But as soon as I arrived, I realized that my journey was going to be filed with countless set- backs and chalenges. My first major failure came when I landed my dream job at a famous company. However, af- ter just a few months, I was let go due to budget cuts. I was shocked and felt like al of my hard work had been for nothing. Determined to bounce back, I applied for a new job at another company. This time, things seemed to be going better. I was making progress and gaining valuable experience, but then I was suddenly laid off again due to company restructuring. Feeling defeated and hopeless, I decided to take a break from the job search and focus on self -improvement. I enroled in courses and attended workshops to learn new skils and expand my knowledge. But even with al of these efforts, I stil couldn􀆳t find the right job. One day, while searching online job listings, I found an opportunity that seemed too good to be true. It was a remote position that offered a competitive salary and flexible hours. Without hesi- tation, I applied and was thriled when I received an offer letter. However, as soon as I started working remotely, I realized that it wasn􀆳t the same as being in an office with coleagues(同事) around me. I struggled to communicate effectively and found it dif- ficult to stay motivated without the support of my team. YT5 英语试卷 第4 页(共8页) Despite these chalenges, I refused to give up. I reached out to my coleagues and tried to build relationships with them through virtual meetings and social media. With their help and encourage- ment, I was able to adapt to the new environment and excel in my role. Looking back on my journey, I realized that success is not about avoiding failure, but rather a- bout learning from it and persevering through the tough times. I encouraged others who may be fa- cing similar chalenges in their own careers to never give up their dreams and to keep pushing for- ward even when things get tough. 24.How did the author feel about his journey when he arrived? A.Better. B.Promising. C.Tough. D.Wel-paid. 25.What caused the author to be laid off by the first company? A.Company restructuring. B.Financial problems. C.Being short of skils. D.Working attitude. 26.Why did the author keep in touch with his coleagues? A.He wanted them not to give up. B.He wanted to get support from them. C.He wanted to be better than them. D.He wanted to hold a meeting with them. 27.Which of the folowing can best describe the author? A.Determined. B.Modest. C.Imaginative. D.Generous. C Quantum theory(量子论) is perhaps the most successful scientific idea ever. Yet, a century after its birth, something remains deeply puzzling about quantum theory. It does not tel us how physical systems behave. Instead, it treats any physical systems as a black box: if you do this to it now, it wil react like that later. What happens in between? The theory simply doesn􀆳t tel us. An idea has recently begun to catch on. Perhaps there is no need to make anything up about what lies behind quantum theory. Perhaps it realy does reveal the deep structure of reality to us, where a property is no more than something that affects something else. Perhaps this is precisely what “properties” are: the effects of interactions. Think of a simple object such as a blue teacup. Its being blue is not a property of the cup a- lone: colors happen in our brain as a result of the certain biological structure of our eyes and as a consequence of the interactions between daylight and the cup􀆳s surface. Its being “a teacup” refers to its potential function as a drinking container: for an alien who doesn􀆳t know about drinking tea, the very concept of a teacup is meaningless. As quantum theory shows: they are defined by their physical interactions with the rest of the world. Then, it comes with a lesson. We understand reality better if we think of it in terms of inter- actions, not individuals. This is why, in classic game theory, the winners in the long run are those who cooperate. Too foolishly we measure success in terms of an individual􀆳s fortunes. It misunder- stands the true nature of reality, and is ultimately self-defeating, which leads to unimaginable consequences and prevents us from addressing chalenges that al humankind faces as a whole. 28.What possibly does quantum theory tel according to the text? A.How physical systems behave. B.How to treat physical systems. C.What effects one has on itself. D.What the structure of reality is. 29.How does the author explain “the effects of interactions”? A.By giving an example. B.By making a comparison. C.By quoting a scientist. D.By conducting a survey. 30.What does “It” in paragraph 4 refer to? A.The consequence we bear. B.The theory in classic games. C.The fortunes individuals have. D.The way to measure success. YT5 英语试卷 第5 页(共8页) 31.What is the main purpose of the text? A.To clarify a physics theory. B.To draw attention to interactions. C.To chalenge a popular idea. D.To present reflections on games. D Nothing earns attention like rarity. In the natural world, rarity is most clearly represented by the last members of a declining species. These scarce(稀少的) plants and animals are extremely valuable; they represent the final hope for preventing extinction. The efforts toward conserving rare species have made an enormous difference. In the past few decades, declines of many endan- gered plants and animals have been reversed(逆转). But the attention to scarcity could come at the expense of overlooking the ordinary. If we are to conserve nature, we must maintain our focus on the familiar. Increasingly, con- servation is turning its sight in this direction — to safeguard what is common, not just what is rare. There are good reasons to consider the common. A study of North American birds uncovered that we have lost three bilion birds on this continent within the past two generations. These declines include species once considered widespread and secure, like the common red- pol, whose numbers are down by 29 milion and the common nighthawk, down by 26 milion. The shocking losses are a reminder that the mark of a species in trouble is not rarity, but the rate of de- cline. Notably, the shifts in abundance of common species can translate into sizeable shifts in ecosys- tem functioning. One caribou herd(驯鹿群), numbering among the hundreds of thousands, re- moves milions of kilograms of food for animals every year and returns nutrients to the soil in the form of milions of kilograms of animal wastes. The value of common species is not just ecological and economic, but psychological. Study af- ter study demonstrates that encounters with the natural world improve our mental state. Losing fa- miliar species — whether birds in our backyard or butterflies on our doorstep — is likely to shrink (缩小) such opportunities for engagement. Rarity wil always occupy a significant place in conservation. But in our pursuit for a sustain- able and biodiverse future, we must avoid “the extinction of commonness”. 32.What is the purpose of the first paragraph? A.To make a survey. B.To offer a suggestion. C.To introduce the topic. D.To provide an example. 33.What does the example of the bird study suggest according to the text? A.Species losses balance the ecosystem. B.Birds produce many nutrients to the soil. C.Species􀆳 rate of decline arouses people􀆳s concern. D.Birds are described as widespread and secure animals. 34.What can we conclude from the text? A.Rarity matters most in conservation. B.Familiar species shouldn􀆳t be ignored. C.Biodiversity results in the extinction of commonness. D.People􀆳s physical state worsens for the sustainable development. 35.Where is this text most probably taken from? A.A news report. B.A health column. C.A biology magazine. D.A travel brochure. 第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分) YT5 英语试卷 第6 页(共8页) 阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选 项。 Problem-solving skils are increasingly valuable in the workplace — and could help you a- chieve more in your personal life too. Here􀆳s how to enhance your strategy. Develop analytical thinking The key to effective problem-solving is the ability to break down complex issues into smaler, more manageable components: 36 . This involves systematicaly deconstructing a problem, un- derstanding its differences and identifying the relationships between its various elements. Begin by clearly defining the problem at hand, identifying its key components and recognizing the intercon- nections between them. Promote creativity 37 . To develop creativity, you must engage in activities that can stimulate your imagination and form new ideas. Additionaly, exposing yourself to different fields, experiences and cultures can serve as a source of creative problem-solving. Strengthen communication skils Clear and brief communication is the key to effective problem-solving, acting as the bridge that connects diverse perspectives and adjusts individuals toward a common goal. Good communication begins with the art of expression. This needs choosing the right words and structuring information logicaly. Active listening, on the other hand, is the skil of receiving information with focus. 38 . Learn from mistakes Mistakes are not failures but a good way to success. 39 . Analyze what goes wrong, identify areas for improvement and use this knowledge to inform your future problem-solving efforts. It not only accelerates the learning process but also encourages colective problem-solving skils. 40 The journey to becoming an expert problem solver is an ongoing process of growth and im- provement. Seeking continuous learning opportunities ensures that you stay ahead of changing chalenges and acquire the necessary skils. Furthermore, networking with professionals in your field provides a good way of shared learning. A. Stay wel informed B. Seek continuous learning C. Improving it requires a structured approach D. Each mistake wil give you a chance to think and learn E. Out-of-the-box thinking is essential for problem-solving F. These wil make sure your message is easy to understand G. It involves not just hearing words but understanding the differences 第三部分 语言运用(共两节,满分30分) 第一节 (共15小题;每小题1分,满分15分) 阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 Ahmad is the founder and CEO of Copia, which she 41 as “Match.com meets Uber for food recovery.” Companies use the Copia app to 42 when they have leftover food, what kind, and how much.

That is, her mom walked, but Mali ran, skipped, jumped over puddles and visited the neighbours􀆳 dogs. Mali paused to look at the budding(发芽) trees on her block. “I can􀆳t wait until summer,” she said, “especialy for Mrs. Fair􀆳s great tomatoes at her market stand.” She pointed. Mali􀆳s mom stood looking at the empty lot where the market was set up every summer week- end. She looked at Mali, “Honey, Mrs. Fair told me last week that she had to close her stand. She􀆳s realy getting too old to run it anymore.” Mali turned, stared, and put her hands on her waist. “But Mrs. Fair􀆳s stand can􀆳t close!” she said. “It􀆳s the only place in the neighbourhood we can buy fresh, delicious tomatoes.” Then she added, to show she wasn􀆳t being selfish, “Everyone needs fruits and vegetables for a healthy diet.” After they got home, Mali headed out to her backyard swing to think. “If only I could plant a garden,” she thought. “But our yard is way too smal.” Just then, she noticed her neighbour, Mr. Taylor, looking at his daffodils. Mali knew he was thinking about how he had planted those flow- ers with his wife. This was the first spring since his wife had died, and Mali saw the sadness on his face. Then she had an idea.
