Do you know what an important role it plays in the whole world? Did you visit any famous places along the road? Although it’s called the Silk Road, people bought and sold much more than silk. The Silk Road went through Asia, the Middle East, North Africa and Europe. It was 6,500 km from Xi’an to Rome. My dad is very interested in the Silk Road and he has told me many things about it. Last summer, my family got away for a holiday and went to some places on the road. We started at Lanzhou and went on to Wuwei. Wuwei was a very important city on the Silk Road. It connected (连接) three main cities in the area. In ancient times, it was also a capital. Although it’s now a modern city, you can get a feeling of history when you visit it. We saw lots of very old stone monuments and people there were very proud of their city’s long history. The next stop was Jiayuguan. It’s on the edge (边缘) of the desert, and was also an important place on the Silk Road. It was a busy city with a lot of people coming and going. Even today, it’s also a city that many business people travel through. An important part of the Great Wall was also built here. After that, we went on to Yumenguan. I first found out about Yumenguan in the famous poem written by Wang Zhihuan. It was in the Gobi Desert and was the only connection between Central Asia and China. I wonder how people ever made it through the hot desert so long ago. This trip wasn’t just a scenic (观光的) journey. It helped me understand the history of the area and learn how people from different places influenced (影响) each other in many ways. 46. Why does the writer use three questions in Paragraph 1? A.

The two boys began working. Curtis first placed two cards to make the shape of an upside down “V”. Then, he did the same thing with two more cards, placing them beside the first pair. Soon, he had a line of cards that looked like tepees (圆锥形帐篷). Next, he placed cards across the tops of the tepees for the next level. Phil put four cards to form a tall rectangle (长方形). Then, he placed cards on top of the rectangle to make his next level stand on it. Then the boys’ troubles appeared. When Curtis tried to build his second level of tepees, he found that the cards on the second level could not stand. When Phil tried to build his second level, he found the rectangle was not steady (平稳的) enough to be on the second level. “Well, this is disappointing,” said Phil. “I have an idea,” said Curtis. “Maybe my tepees would work better on the top of your rectangle.” Phil said, “I agree. Let’s try it!” Finally, they succeeded. As the saying goes, “One tree cannot make a forest.” For the one who wants to succeed in doing something, I would say: _____________________________ 53. How many cards did Curtis need to make an upside-down “V”? (不超过5个词) _____________________________ 54. What was Phil’s problem? (不超过15个词) _____________________________ 55. What would the writer say at the end of the text? (不超过15个词) _____________________________ 【答案】53. Four. 54. The rectangle was not steady enough to be on the second level. 55. Unity is strength. 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了Phil和Curtis两个人为了看谁用卡片建的房子更高而进行了比赛，但是两个人都失败了，最后他们意识到合作的重要性。 【53题详解】 根据“The two boys began working. Curtis first placed two cards to make the shape of an upside down ‘V’. Then, he did the same thing with two more cards, placing them beside the first pair. Soon, he had a line of cards that looked like tepees (圆锥形帐篷).”可知，Curtis首先放了两张牌，做成了一个倒置的“V”形。然后，他又用两张牌做了同样的事情，把它们放在第一张牌旁边。很快，他就有了一排看起来像圆锥形卡片的卡片。由此可知，Curtis需要四张卡片才能做出一个倒立的“V”。故填Four. 【54题详解】 根据“When Phil tried to build his second level, he found the rectangle was not steady (平稳的) enough to be on the second level.”可知，当Phil试图建造他的第二层时，他发现矩形不够稳定，无法达到第二层。故填The rectangle was not steady enough to be on the second level. 【55题详解】 开放性试题，言之有理即可，参考答案为Unity is strength. 第四部分　写(共两大题,满分25分) Ⅸ.单词拼写(共5小题;每小题1分,满分5分) 根据首字母及汉语提示,完成下列单词的拼写,使句意明确,语言通顺。 56.

Did you visit any famous places along the road? Although it’s called the Silk Road, people bought and sold much more than silk. The Silk Road went through Asia, the Middle East, North Africa and Europe. It was 6,500 km from Xi’an to Rome. My dad is very interested in the Silk Road and he has told me many things about it. Last summer, my family got away for a holiday and went to some places on the road. We started at Lanzhou and went on to Wuwei. Wuwei was a very important city on the Silk Road. It connected (连接) three main cities in the area. In ancient times, it was also a capital. Although it’s now a modern city, you can get a feeling of history when you visit it. We saw lots of very old stone monuments and people there were very proud of their city’s long history. The next stop was Jiayuguan. It’s on the edge (边缘) of the desert, and was also an important place on the Silk Road. It was a busy city with a lot of people coming and going. Even today, it’s also a city that many business people travel through. An important part of the Great Wall was also built here. After that, we went on to Yumenguan. I first found out about Yumenguan in the famous poem written by Wang Zhihuan. It was in the Gobi Desert and was the only connection between Central Asia and China. I wonder how people ever made it through the hot desert so long ago. This trip wasn’t just a scenic (观光的) journey. It helped me understand the history of the area and learn how people from different places influenced (影响) each other in many ways. 46. Why does the writer use three questions in Paragraph 1? A.

F 阅读下面短文，并用英语回答问题(请注意每小题的词数要求)。 One day after school, Phil and Curtis were thinking of something fun to do. “Let’s have a competition to see who can build the taller house with cards,” Phil suggested. “Okay!” said Curtis. The two boys began working. Curtis first placed two cards to make the shape of an upside down “V”. Then, he did the same thing with two more cards, placing them beside the first pair. Soon, he had a line of cards that looked like tepees (圆锥形帐篷). Next, he placed cards across the tops of the tepees for the next level. Phil put four cards to form a tall rectangle (长方形). Then, he placed cards on top of the rectangle to make his next level stand on it. Then the boys’ troubles appeared.
