Here we recommend some of the best tourist destinations in Tibet. Peach Blossom Valley, Nyingchi The peach blossoms in Nyingchi have been dubbed as “the most beautiful peach flowers in the world”. The annual festival has become a signature tourism event on the plateau. Peach trees bloom depending on the altitude and climate, so visitors will have the chance to enjoy the blossoms. Ranwu Lake Ranwu Lake is renowned for its tranquility (平静) and its purity of blueness. Scenery along the lakeside varies a good deal with grass, forest, autumn leaves, white waterfowl and snow mountains clearly reflected in the mirror-like water. Spring coming, a reflection of green trees dances on the lake and people feel like they are walking into a romantic dreamland. The Yarlung Zangbo River Grand Canyon The Grand Canyon is the deepest canyon in the world. With a total length of about 500 kilometers, its altitude spans from 7,782 meters to 550 meters around the Yarlung Zangbo River Valley. Visitors can enjoy both the peach blossoms and the snow-capped mountains. Nanyi Valley Nanyi Valley is known as “the highest green mysterious place on Earth”. Surrounded by mountains and shrouded in clouds, Nanyi Valley is an ideal spring destination for visitors, where you can find peach and azalea blossoms everywhere. There are some other attractions. For more information, please click the following link http://en.chinaculture.org/. 21. If you are a festival lover, which destination will you choose? A. Nanyi Valley B. Ranwu Lake C. The Yarlung Zangbo River Grand Canyon D. Peach Blossom Valley, Nyingchi 22. What do Ranwu Lake and The Yarlung Zangbo River Grand Canyon have in common? A. Admiring snow mountains. B. Watching white waterfowl. C. Enjoying peach blossoms. D. Appreciating azalea flowers. 23. Where is this text probably taken from? A. A book review B. A website C. A magazine D. A travel brochure B I was cutting up lettuce (生菜) in the kitchen when I suddenly remembered watching a video about putting the lettuce stub (残余部分) in water to grow a whole new vegetable. So I took out a wide-mouthed mug (大杯) and placed the stub into it, gave it a little water, and placed it by the window. On a snowy morning, I noticed the first sign. A first small leaf from its heart spread out. A tiny green flag of hope. Beaten, but not defeated. Within days, it was impossible to see the cuts where I had removed the leaves. The growth was explosive. And when I lifted the blossoming head out of the mug, tiny root threads fell down, seeking for the earth. What is growing here? Lettuce or hope? If I were a lettuce in a similar condition, I’d want to doubtfully assess where I found myself before being devoted to full growth. Yet for this lettuce, my inadequate offering of water and a place by a window was enough for it to decide to reclaim itself again. It grew in a mug of water, in faith. This is the heart of this lettuce: alive, strong and fearless. It deserved a name. I decided to call it Monty. Monty wanted to grow, as we all do. I think I gave him a little love and freedom. Those two ingredients were all he needed to return to himself. I see joy in this lettuce. The return to self is always an expression of joy, which is life itself. With the right ingredients, this is the tendency of all living things. Monty still lives in a mug, but I’m going to transplant him outside. He deserves to become his full self. The only problem I see now is my capacity to support Monty. I hope I have enough of a green finger. I’m surprised to find myself where I am. Maybe Monty is, too. I have the same choice as he does: give in and decay (腐烂), or start again. The prospect of starting again is discouraging. But my lettuce-friend, Monty, leads the way. I can only hope to be as brave. 24. Why did the author put the stub in water? A. To hope that it would grow. B. To decorate the nice mug. C. To conduct an experiment. D. To remove his bad mood. 25. What is the first sign of life in the author’s eyes? A. The remaining stub. B. The small leaf. C. The disappearing cuts. D. The tiny root threads. 26. How would the author feel if in the lettuce’s situation? A. Hesitant. B. Fearless. C. Confident. D. Annoyed. 27. Which can be a suitable title of the passage? A. Enjoy your own life to the fullest. B. Believe in yourself when in trouble. C. Never be afraid to restart yourself. D. Give freedom to the heart in a way. C Climate change, global warming, the greenhouse effect… these days nobody denies that there is something strange and worrying happening to the atmosphere. Scientists are puzzled by the rise in carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. They are also afraid that the world may be a short way from what they consider as uncontrolled global warming. At Mauna Loa Observatory in Hawaii, meteorologists（气象专家） have been carefully monitoring（监测） the amount of carbon dioxide in the Earth's atmosphere for the past 50 years. Until recently, there has been a gradual increase of around 1. 5 parts per million（ppm）. In 2013 the figure rose to 2. 08 ppm and in the following year they recorded an increase of 2. 54 ppm. Climate analysts feel that it is too soon to draw conclusions about the phenomenon although the public are concerned that the carbon dioxide emissions are getting out of control. Jason Samenow, the chief meteorologist in the American National Weather Service, thinks that people might have only a few years to find a solution to the problem instead of having decades. He believes that the Earth's natural systems for absorbing the gas are breaking down, resulting in the uncontrolled greenhouse effect. He insists that something could happen if the Earth's temperatures rose to such a degree that it was unable to contain the heat. However, one interesting aspect of this climate change is that it is not happening in a uniform way around the world. Carbon dioxide levels in the South Pole are obviously lower. This suggests that something has happened in the northern hemisphere（半球） that set off the rise. Forest fires in North America might hold the answer to the puzzle, along with very hot summers in Europe. The 2014 heat wave was certainly out of the ordinary. Statistics claim that more than 30, 000 people lost their lives as a direct result of the high temperatures. Scientists are being cautious in their interpretations. Most feel that it is too soon to say that a new trend has been set. All agree that the phenomenon needs to be closely observed. 28. According to Paragraph 1, what confuses scientists? A. Uncontrolled global warming. B. Something strange and worrying in life. C. The effects of climate change on everybody. D. The increase in carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. 29. From the changing amount of the carbon dioxide in the recent 50 years, we can learn that ___. A. Every year the changes of the carbon dioxide is the same. B. It is too soon to conclude global warming is now out of control. C. Our world may be soon faced with uncontrolled global warming. D. The amount of the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is increasing sharply. 30. What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about? A. Hot summers in Europe. B. Forest fires in North America. C. Low temperatures in the South Pole. D. North and South differences in climate change. 31. How will scientists deal with the high temperatures? A. By setting a new trend soon. B. By giving a solution directly. C. By observing the phenomenon closely. D. By experiencing high temperatures personally. D In science fiction movies such as 2001: A Space Odyssey, Alien, or Passengers, crew members are put into a state of sleep to take year-long journeys to space. Now a new study from Washington University has shown that human hibernation (冬眠) may soon become a reality. The research team carried out tests on rats—animals that do not naturally hibernate. They first identified a group of neurons (神经元) in a deep brain region, which were found to be involved in controlling body temperature during hibernation. They showed that, in mice, these neurons could be stimulated using ultrasound (超声波), which was delivered through a helmet without causing an injury. When receiving the ultrasound, the mice showed a drop in body temperature of about 3℃, and their heart rates fell by about 47％. When the ultrasound system was switched off, they woke up again. The result was "surprising and fascinating", said Hong Chen, a professor who led the work. Researchers are also trying to determine how to employ the power of hibernation to help humans. They believe that it could be key to addressing health conditions like heart disease, and Alzheimer's. Furthermore, hibernation's ability to slow aging, which was observed in bats, could benefit space exploration, enabling longer missions with less food requirements. Research in animals also suggests that bodies of hibernating astronauts might lose less bone and muscle, making them fit and ready to start challenging exploration soon after they wake up. The scientists now plan to look at how lowered body temperature might affect the cognitive (认知的) abilities of humans. "Our next experiments will test working memory in monkeys. This is important because while astronauts physically hibernate as they fly into deep space, their brain still needs to be working," said Chen. 32. Why are the movies mentioned in the first paragraph? A. To highlight the creativity of filmmakers. B. To introduce the topic of human habitation. C. To show the popularity of science fiction movies. D. To explain the impact of movies on scientific research. 33. How did researchers make the mice hibernate? A. By pausing their heartbeats. B. By simulating their brain neurons. C. By making them sleep with helmets. D. By exposing them to low temperature. 34. How might hibernation benefit humans according to the text? A. People might no longer suffer from diseases. B. People might stay young as long as they wish. C. Average people might be able to travel to space. D. Astronauts might remain in space for a longer period. 35. What does the author mainly intend to tell us in the last paragraph? A. It is extremely challenging to be an astronaut. B. There is always a gap between fiction and reality. C. The hibernation experiment is far from complete. D. The hibernation experiment remains to be tested on astronauts. 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Education has always been a hot topic. How to educate children can be a sweet but painstaking task for parents, many of whom try to offer their children the best environment. Competition between parents over children’s education may start from the kind of animated (动画) series children watch. 　36　 By watching the former, children can learn English at the same time. However, this does not mean those watching foreign shows perform better than those watching Chinese ones. 　37　 They can help children learn traditional Chinese culture and history. Take Journey to the West for example. 　38　  By watching this show, children can learn more about the history of the Tang Dynasty and the development of Buddhist culture in China. Foreign shows can open a window for children to gain a better understanding of the outside world. So, children ought to be encouraged to watch both as long as the content of the show is beneficial. This can also be applied to other things beyond animated series. 　39　 However, some parents fail to do this. Their incorrect view can more or less leave an influence on their children. Innocent (天真的)children, influenced by their parents, slowly hold the view that watching foreign shows is better than watching Chinese shows. 　40　  A. Chinese shows have their own advantages. B. Foreign animated series are always the first choice for parents. C. Children often follow their parents’ advice when choosing animated series. D. For example,children can be encouraged to read folk tales at home and abroad. E. Once the view is formed in children’s minds, parents’ education proves a failure. F.

Anabia, an 11-year-old girl, was excited because today was the drawing contest at her school. Anabia was really good at drawing and usually got the highest marks in art. Her teachers would often ask her to make posters for school plays and call on her during free periods to help with cuttings, drawing, shading, colouring and much more. There was an art competition taking place in school and Anabia had worked really hard and wanted to win it. But there was one thing that was disturbing her today. Recently, a new girl, Rida, had joined her class. She was also interested in art but she was not as good at drawing as Anabia was. Miss Saima, the art teacher, helped Rida and taught her tips and tricks to improve her drawing skill. And now Rida was also considered among the best artists in grade six. Rida was quick, smart and intelligent. Anabia became jealous of Rida’s intelligence and felt that the new girl would be tough to beat. So that day, for the art competition, Miss Saima took all the students to the art room, told them their roll numbers and gave important instructions. Anabia’s roll number was 16, while Rida was number 17. The bell rang, indicating the beginning of the contest. Miss Saima wrote on the board: make a scene of a sunset with a flowing river and a sailing boat. Anabia knew that the best tools to make a sunset were oil pastels (油画棒). Anabia started to look for her oil pastels in her art bag. Then, after looking through the bag, she remembered that she had left them at home. Immediately, she got up to tell Miss Saima. Miss Saima was disappointed at Anabia’s carelessness and told her that she could not help her, as it was her responsibility to come prepared for the contest that had been announced a week in advance. Anabia’s best friends were also there, but none of them offered to share anything, much to Anabia’s surprise and disappointment. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 Paragraph1: Anabia’ s eyes filled with tears. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Then Rida held Anabia’s hand, and the two girls waited for the winners to be announced. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第 1 页 共 10 页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
