In September 2014,Xiaoxiao,who has studied ethnic dance and ballet since childhood,graduated from the Moldovan National Dance Academy,and several classmates joined her on a trip to China.However,she did not know any Chinese or even English.She made many friends from China,which gradually solved her obstacles in language communication and made herself better adapted to life in China. "I think as a foreigner,first you have to learn Chinese,"she said."Then you can go to better understand the culture and the Chinese people."But after learning what she thought was Chinese,she discovered that the language she had spent two years learning is actually the Chongqing dialect.Such is her delivery that even a Chongqing local would be hard to tell that she is a foreigner by just hearing her voice.As Xiaoxiao thought Chongqing dialect was standard Chinese,she took considerable efforts to be good at it.This “"mistake'”has tumed out to be a lucky strike. But she is more interested in doing something that helps the two countries understand each other.As such,she introduced Chinese food or Chongqing food,and stories about China to her friends in Moldova. She plans to introduce the history and,specialties of Moldova,such as Moldo van wine,to the Chinese.She hopes to let more people know that this country actually has a rich history of more than 5,000 years of wine-making. "I'd love to do it,"she said."I will continue to strengthen the culture of the two countries and hope that the two countries will become better and better." 24.Why does Xiaoxiao make Chinese friends? A.To study more about ethnic dance. B.To appreciate more about new cultures. C.To learn more local dialects. D.To communicate with others more easily. 25.What does the underlined word "delivery"mean in paragraph 3? A.Dialect. B.Ballet. C.Dream. D.Mistake 26.Which of the following best describes Xiaoxiao according to the text? A.Cautious and smart B.Humorous and creative. C.Friendly and optimistic. D.Hardworking and responsible. 第2页共8页 27.Where can the text be found? ...In a biography. B.In a culture magazine. C.In a history book. D.In a novel. Parkinson's is a progressive brain disease which leads to shaky hands and slow movement,and there is no cure.Tai Chi,a traditional Chinese martial art that combines (slow,gentle movements with deep breathing and relaxation,may be an effective means of reducing the suffering.Recently,the researchers say that those who practised the martial art twice a week had fewer complications and better quality of life than those who didn't.Experts say the findings back up previous studies on the benefits of exercise for those with Parkinson's. The study,from Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine,monitored the health of hundreds of Parkinson's patients for up to five years.One group of 147 people practised regular Tai Chi while another group of 187 did not.The researchers found that the disease progressed more sowly in the Tai Chi group on measurements of symptoms ()movement and balance.This group also saw fewer falls,less back pain and dizziness,with memory and concentration problems also lower than in the other group.At the same time, sleep and quality of life continuously improved. Prof.Alastair Noyce,professor in neurology and neuroepidemiology at Queen Mary University of London,called it“an important study”-the positive effects on aspects of motor(运a动的)and non-motor functions are impressive-but said there were limitations in its design,and more tests were needed. "We already recommend Tai Chi,as well as other forms of exercise,but understanding which forms of exercise are most beneficial is an important goal to improve the long-tetm management of patients,"he said. 28.Why was the study conducted? A.To find a cure for Parkinson's disease. B To improve the sleep quality of Parkinson's patients. C.To remove the misunderstanding of the previous studies. D.To research the benefits of Tai Chi for those with Parkinson's. 29.Which of the following is NOT the researchers'finding? A.Concentration problem was lower in the Tai Chi group. B.The disease progressed more slowly in the Tai Chi group. C.Patients in the non-Tai Chi group continuously fell down. D.Back pain and dizziness were relieved in the Tai Chi group. 30.What can we learn from Prof.Alastair Noyce's words? A.Tai Chi should be given more preference. B.Finding the most beneficial exercise is of importance. C.It is unnecessary to do more related studies. D.Improve the long-term management of patients is impossible. 31.What is Prof.Alastair Noyce's attitude towards the study? A.Confused.B.Doubtful.C.Positive.D.Worried D If humans were truly at home under the light of the moon and stars,we would go in darkness happily, the midnight world as visible to us as it is to the vast number of nocturnal (species on this planet. Instead,we are diurnal creatures,with eyes adapted to living in the sun's light.This is a basic evolutionary fact,even though most of us don't think of ourselves as diurnal beings.Yet it's the only way to explain what we've done to the night:We've engineered it to receive us by filling it with light. The benefits of this kind of engineering come with consequences,called light pollution,whose effects scientists are only now beginning to study.Light pollution is largely the result of bad lighting design,which allows artificial light to shine outward and upward into the sky.Poorly designed lighting washes out the darkness of night and completely changes the light levels-and light rhythms-to which many forms of life,including ourselves,have adapted. Wherever human light spills into the natural world,some aspect of life is affected.Among mammals alone,the number of nocturnal species is astonishing.Light is a powerful biological force,and on many species it acts as a magnet.The effect is so powerful that,for example,migrating at night,birds tend to collide with brightly lit tall buildings.And frogs living near brightly lit highways suffer noctural light levels that are as much as a million times brighter than normal,throwing nearly every aspect of their behavior out of joint,including their nighttime breeding choruses. Living in a glare of our own making,we have cut ourselves off from our evolutionary and cultural heritage,the light of the stars and the rhythms of day and night.In a very real sense,light pollution causes us to lose sight of our true place in the universe,to forget the scale of our being. 32.According to the passage,human beings A.prefer to live in the darkness B.are used to living in the day light C.were curious about the midnight world D.had to stay at home with the light of the moon 33.What does the underlined word"it"in Paragraph 1 most probably refer to? A.The night. B.The moon. C.The sky D.The planet. 34.The writer mentions birds and frogs to A.provide examples of animal protection. B.show how light pollution affects animals. C.compare the living habits of both species. D.explain why the number of certain species has declined. 35.What might be the best title for the passage? A.The Magic Light. B.The Orange Haze. C.The Disappearing Night. D.The Rhythms of Nature. 第二节（共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 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。 If you want to take pictures of a solar eclipse (with your mobile phone,your big shot is coming up on October 2.You'll be able to catch an annular solar eclipse.36And you don't get many chances.But with the right preparation,you can still take pretty good pictures 第4页共8页 Get a tripod )The steadiness of a tripod is especially important if you are taking video of the event.However,even if you're going for photos,a tripod will help prevent the blurriness of a handheld shot.

One bright summer day,my friend Peter and I decided to take an adventure into the unexplored paths of the Great Smoky Mountains.Blessed with rich biodiversity and fascinating landscapes,the national park seemed a perfect get-away.Little did we know that our casual hike would soon turn into an unexpected personal incident,forever kept in our memories. We set off early in the morning,equipped with our backpacks and a map that was supposed to guide us through the winding paths.The sun was up,casting long shadows on the forest floor as we set off on our joumey..We trekked(艰难行走)，laughed,and wondered at the beauty of nature around us. As we trekked through the thick forests,taking in the natural wonders around us,we couldn't help but feel a sense of adventure coursing through our body.The path was rough and rocky,but we persisted through the challenging landscape. Midway through our exploration,we came upon a breathtaking waterfall,its shining water's pouring down the rocks in a quiet and peaceful melody.We sat down by the water's edge,taking a moment to get lost in the beauty of nature.The cool mist from the waterfall surrounded us,and we felt refreshed and energetic. As the day went on,we trekked deeper into the wildemess,eager to explore every comer of this natural paradise.We were so absorbed in the beauty of nature that we just didn't notice our way and it seemed that 第7页共8页 we could not find the way back to the familiar part of the forest. Frightened,we hurried to find our way back but the thick forests and winding paths only served to confuse us further.We tried to remember any possible signs that might lead us back.No sooper had we celebrated our return to the clear paths than something worse happened. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右： 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Suddenly,the weather took an unexpected turn. Just when we were about to give up,a weak light appeared in the distance. 第8页共8页
