Here are a few countries you can think about. Bhutan The Kingdom of Bhutan, lying on the Silk Road in South Asia, is believed to be the No.1 spot for its impressive beauty. The kingdom has great grasslands in the south, and in the north, the most famous Himalayan Mountain which is believed to be the highest mountain in the world. England While tourists may all want to go to the Big Ben and the Buckingham Palace, we suggest visitors should travel to England's coastal towns. The English seaside gives visitors a chance to search for sea life in rock pools and of course, eat fish and chips. In the future, new parts of the England Coast Path will continue to open, making it easier to explore the country's coastline. North Macedonia If you don't want to go to Europe's popular travel spots, North Macedonia could be a good choice for you. Its mountain paths are very quiet, and the local people are 高二英语 第 2 页 共 5 页 helpful and friendly. Among its destinations is Ohrid, an old town filled with medieval(中世纪的)ruins and churches and lined with stone streets. Costa Rica Costa Rica in Central America is popular for many reasons, from its coffee to its wonderful surfing. It's also well-known for its green energy, and 90% of its energy is created by green sources, such as wind and water energy. It is also one of the most biodiverse(生物多样性的)countries in the world with half a million species. 21. Which of the following countries is in Asia? A. Costa Rica. B. England. C. North Macedonia. D. Bhutan 22. What can you do in North Macedonia? A. Visit medieval ruins and churches. B. Drink coffee and go surfing. C. Climb the Himalayan Mountain. D. Catch sea life and eat fish and chips. 23.

It is famous for grasslands and mountains. B A lot of us spend most of our working day sitting at the computer without moving at all. So, how does the world keep fit? Let’s have a look at some of the latest exercises from around the world. Towerrunning is a sport you can do in the tall buildings of almost any big city. All you need to do is start at the bottom of an office tower and run up all the stairs until you get to the top. Now, towerrunning has become popular with important races taking place in some of the world’s tallest towers, like the China World Trade Centre in Beijing. Piloxing started in the USA．The sport is a mix between boxing, pilates (普拉提) and dance. Piloxing uses the power and speed of boxing, while building your muscles and strength with pilates. All of this happens to non-stop loud music, and you learn some great dance moves too. Paddle boarding on the ocean might look easy, but it is a tough sport. You need to be strong to keep your balance. The sport was adapted from surfing and it had its roots in Polynesia where people used paddling for both work and play-from transport to catching waves. Trapeze may remind you of the circus act-people fly, dance and move from side to side through the air. Jules Leotard developed the art of trapeze in the mid-nineteenth century in France. To perform trapeze, people must develop upper-body strength to turn and fly. Are you ready? Even a short amount of exercise every day can help us to feel happier and more relaxed. 24．Which exercise must be done in tall buildings? A．Towerrunning. B．Piloxing. C．Paddle boarding. D．Trapeze. 25．Where does paddle boarding come from? A．China. B．The USA． C．Polynesia. D．France. 26．To do trapeze well, people must have ______. A．strong upper-body strength B．power and speed of boxing C．better running ability D．good swimming skills 27．What does this passage call on people to do? A．Lose weight. B．Get moving. C．Keep working. D．Travel around. C If you wish to become a better reader, here are four important points to remember about rate, or speed, of reading: 1. Knowing why you are reading—what you are reading to find out—will often help you to know whether to read rapidly or slowly. 2. Some things should be read slowly throughout. Examples are directions for making or doing something, arithmetic problems, science and history books, which are full of important information. You must read such things slowly to remember each important step and understand each important idea. 3. Some things should be read rapidly throughout. Examples are simple stories meant for enjoyment, news, and letters from friends, items, or bits of news from local, or hometown, paper, telling what is happening to friends and neighbors. 4. In some of your readings, you must change your speed from fast to slow to fast, as you go along. You need to read certain pages rapidly and then slow down and do more careful readings when you come to important ideas which must be remembered. 28. According to the passage, your reading speed depends on ________. A. whether the reading material is easy or difficult B. what you are reading C. what your purpose in reading something is D. both B and C 高二英语 第 3 页 共 5 页 29.

D In the Chinese lunar calendar, san fu refers to the three 10-day periods that are said to be the hottest days of the year, which are called tou fu, zhong fu and mo fu. San fu is usually between mid-July and mid-August. When san fu is mentioned, people can't stop thinking of san futie, which is a bandage(绷带）made of traditional Chinese herbal medicine. Those who have experienced traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) believe that receiving san futie during the hottest summer days is effective for coughs. The treatment is based on the TCM principle of yin and yang, which believes the balance of both elements(要素)in the body is important for good health. San futie contains a paste of herbs that are "hot" in nature. Tou fu is the first stage of san fu. When the hot days come, people tend to lose their appetites. As the weather in Changsha, the capital of Hunan province, is hot with heavy rainfall in summer, people there eat chicken especially a rooster during tou fu. They believe that the rooster is "yang" and can clear the damp(湿气). There is an old saying that goes “A rooster at the start of san fu, a healthy body the whole year. "Another favourite food during this stage is jiaozi, which is thought to refresh people's feelings toward food. In fact, jiaozi is an all-time classic with 2,000 years of history. The second stage of san fu is called zhong fu, which traditionally is a time for eating noodles because it is believed to help people sweat and remove internal heat. When mo fu or the third fu arrives, it is still very hot at noon and the sun is very strong. People feel uncomfortable, so they call this period “Autumn Tiger". During mo fu, people, especially those living in North China, customarily eat Chinese egg pancakes. During san fu time when yang energy is at its prime, it's also beneficial to have food which is “cold" in nature, like watermelon and cucumber, according to Chinese dietary therapy. 32. How does san futie work to treat coughs? A. By using a kind of unique bandage. B. By using materials for sweating. C. By stopping the heat from coming into the body. D. By keeping the balance of yin and yang. 33. What does the saying in the third paragraph prove? A. San fu is a good time to sell roosters. B. Meat from a rooster is delicious. C. Eating roosters in San fu is good for health. D. People who like eating can avoid catching a cold. 34. Why do Chinese people eat noodles in zhong fu? A. To show the hope for a long life. B. To let the heat in the body out. C. To enjoy the family atmosphere. D. To feel the moment of excitement. 35. What's the best title of the text? A. Customs of San fu B. Products Sold in San fu C. Ways to Learn About San fu D. The Magical Medicine in San fu 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 How High School Juniors Prepare for College over Winter Break.

Days later, when the results were announced (宣布), Lily and Tom were really overjoyed to find out that their efforts had paid off, and they had both achieved quite excellent grades. To celebrate, they decided to take a well- deserved break and go on a trip to the nearby amusement park during the weekend. The park was filled with excitement that day, and Lily and Tom wasted no time diving into the relaxing activities. They rode roller coasters, watched live performances and were lost in cotton candy, laughing and chatting the whole time. The sun shone brightly in autumn, and their spirits were high. As the day drew to a close, they began to make their way to the exit, their hearts full of joy and memories. Suddenly, just as they were walking on the way home, they heard a weak sound from somewhere. Following the sound, they found a small, injured puppy (小狗) lying on the roadside. Without any thought, they rushed over to help. Together, they gently picked up the puppy and examined its wound. Though it was little, they knew it needed attention.

In my family, the tradition is attaching great importance to education. My grandparents did what they could to send my parents to have good education even in the hard times and so do my parents. Although my parents seldom take me to expensive restaurants or buy me luxurious items, they are always ready to offer me the best education. My family tradition makes me aware that it is of great importance to receive good education. As a consequence, I cherish every second and every opportunity to learn and put all my heart into study. In short, I will continue to observe my family tradition and make it stay alive. 【答案】 After that, Lily and Tom wanted to do something for the puppy. They looked around, hoping to find the owner, but no one was in sight. Concerned about the puppy’s condition, they decided it was best to seek help. They took a picture of the puppy and posted it on a local community forum, describing where and how they found it, hoping to reach the owner. Meanwhile, they stayed with the puppy to ensure it was safe and comfortable. Unable to find the puppy’s owner, Lily and Tom decided to take it to the nearest animal shelter. They carefully carried the puppy, reassuring it with gentle pats along the way. At the shelter, the staff praised their compassion and promised to take good care of the puppy.
