A
No one can believe that the Great Wall might disappear some day.Believe it or not, the Great Wall is being destroyed by people.Less than 20 percent of the Great Wall built in the Ming Dynasty is still perfect, but about 80 percent is in danger.The Great Wall can be called “great” mostly because of its amazing length.But we should realize that the length was made up of one brick at a time.If we do nothing to save the Great Wall, it will become a series of separate wasteland rather than a historic site.
The Great Wall is actually a series of walls built and rebuilt by different dynasties over the past 2,000 years.It began in the rule of China's first emperor, Qin Shihuang of the Qin Dynasty, and lasted into the Ming Dynasty.The parts built before the Ming Dynasty have nearly disappeared.People are familiar with sections such as Badaling in Beijing and Jiayuguan in Gansu because they have been open to tourists for many years.But those_sections_far_away_from_the_public_eyes_ have been almost forgotten.
Few local people knew the 3-metre-high walls made of earth and stones beside them are part of the Great Wall.The lack of knowledge is considered as one of the main reasons.
The bricks on the Great Wall were carried off by local countryside people to build their houses, sheep corrals (畜栏) and pigsties (猪圈).Some were taken away to build roads.Bricks carved with people's names are put away as remembrance (纪念).Rubbish is spread over the battlements (城垛).The bricks can be sold for 15 yuan per tractor load.Those who destroyed and are destroying the Great Wall know its name, but are not clear about its cultural meaning.It will take a long time to let them know this.The local farmers not only carried off the body of the Great Wall but dug out the entire base.
It is necessary to preserve the Great Wall.The officials should be aware of the importance of the Great Wall.Young Chinese should know more about the nation's great civilization and learn to love it.
【语篇解读】 历史文化古迹——长城正在遭到破坏,作者呼吁人们要保护好长城。
1.The underlined part in Paragraph 2 refers to the parts of the Great Wall ________.
A.that are too difficult to understand
B.that nobody can watch
C.that are not well known to the public
D.that are too far to be seen
【解析】 C 词义猜测题。根据上文People are familiar with sections such as Badaling in Beijing and Jiayuguan in Gansu because they have been open to tourists for many years.和画线部分的But可知,长城有些地方是向公众开放的景点,这当然为公众所熟悉;而那些不是景点的地方则不会为公众所熟悉。
2.What's the main reason for the Great Wall's being destroyed?
A.The local people are short of cultural knowledge.
B.The local people need bricks and stones to build houses.
C.The local people think the Great Wall is not important.
D.The bricks of the Great Wall can be sold for money.
【解析】 A 细节理解题。根据文章第三段及第四段第六句Those who destroyed and are destroying the Great Wall know its name, but are not clear about its cultural meaning.可知,长城被破坏的主要原因是当地人缺乏文化知识。
3. Why does the author say the Great Wall might disappear?
A.It is useless from now on.
B.It will be replaced by a new one.
C.Some parts of it are being destroyed.
D.It's too old to be used once again.
【解析】 C 细节理解题。根据文章第一段第二、三句Believe it or not, the Great Wall is being destroyed by people.Less than 20 percent of the Great Wall built in the Ming Dynasty is still perfect, but about 80 percent is in danger.和第四段前五句The bricks on the Great Wall were carried off by countryside people to build their houses, sheep corrals(畜栏)and pigsties(猪圈).Some were taken away to build roads.Bricks carved with people's names are put away as remembrance(纪念).Rubbish is spread over the battlements(城垛).The bricks can be sold for 15 yuan per tractor load.可知,长城的很大一部分正在遭受破坏,所以作者说长城可能会消失。

One rainy afternoon, I was on a crosstown bus when a young woman jumped on.She had a child with her who must have been about 3 or 4 years old.
The bus was full, bumpy, and it soon got noisy as her kid began crying because he couldn't sit next to his mother.There were a couple of open seats, but they weren't together.She was flustered and looked embarrassed.
Then another woman, a little older, stood up and moved so that the mother and child could sit together.The mom smiled as a thank-you.And then three words came out of the older woman's mouth that elevated the entire energy of that bus ride: “I've been there”.
Simple, undramatic and honest.In that moment, it seemed to unite people.Why? Because almost all experiences are shared human experiences.We forget that, as we forge (前进) through life, focused on our own troubles and needs—which are actually less unique than we think.How can these three words create more connection in your life? Ask yourself: “Where am I holding back?
One thing I know for sure is this: Healing others helps heal yourself.I noticed this recently with my friend, Tracy, who took a new friend who had suffered a miscarriage under her wing.Tracy had three of them before having her daughter two years ago.Our intellect needs a doctor to explain the medical side of things, yes.But our souls need human connection to help us along.No one can do that better than someone who has been exactly where you are.
Can the essence of these three words help you make a small difference right now? It can be as simple as volunteering your seat, sharing some helpful advice or even lightening the mood with a joke when you notice that someone's uncomfortable—because we're all in this together.
【语篇解读】 这是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章由作者在公交车上看到一位老太太给一对母子让座,老太太对那位母亲说“I've been there.(我也经历过)”而引发了对这三个字的思考,并联想到自身小时候家中贫困的经历。作者认为个人的烦恼和需求大多是共同的经历,这三个字可以帮助安慰别人现在的痛苦,将人们联系在一起。
4.The underlined word “flustered” in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to ________.
A.angry B.anxious

A.The woman was on the bus and saw what had happened to the boy.
B.The woman got to her destination and was ready to get off the bus.
C.The woman once had the similar experience with that mother.
D.The woman took the exact seat that the boy was on just now.
【解析】 C 细节理解题。根据第三段“The mom smiled as a thank-you.And then three words came out of the older woman's mouth that elevated the entire energy of that bus ride: “I've been there”(母亲微笑着表示感谢。然后,老太太嘴里说出的三个字让整个旅程充满活力: 我经历过)”可知,这个老太太曾经和那位母亲有过类似的经历。故选C。

A.Everyone has his or her own unique problem that is difficult to solve.
B.Doctors can help us get through when we have mental or physical problems.

Years ago, I appeared on stage with the Royal Melbourne Philharmonic Choir in the Town Hall.There I was, my feet in plain shoes, sweat dirtying my clean white shirt, singing my heart out in front of the big organ.I still have a tape recording of that performance somewhere, where I swear I can hear myself singing, high and thin and possibly off-key.
But life got in the way and I stopped singing.Then, in the summer of 2019, I found myself facing some shadows in my own life.It felt as if it had been a long time between songs, as if there was something unsung, some absent music in my ears.I began to fear I might be making myself ill and unable to breathe in a normal way.
Could singing help me reclaim my voice and calm my fast-beating heart? Research from the Royal Society noted that “group singing can improve physical and mental health, as well as promote social bonds”.So, rather than letting my unsung tunes strangle me, I decided to take on a new choral experience, one being in the Big Feminist Sing, a community choir.
“If you don't know what to sing,” the choir director said, “find someone who looks confident, and go and stand next to them.Find a friend if you're in trouble; take a risk; use your voice; be part of something bigger than yourself.” I've been singing in the choir ever since, because group singing gives me a sense of security—and each rehearsal is a lifeline, a connected thread, an intake of air working toward a collective voice.It doesn't matter if I am a bit off-key to start with.Decades of unsung situations have changed, and I have flown.
【语篇解读】 这是一篇记叙文。讲述了作者一唱歌就紧张到跑调,于是为了享受合唱的神奇力量,作者加入了一个合唱团,受益匪浅。

9.What does the underlined word “strangle” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A.Reach. B.Blind
C.Cheat D.Choke.
【解析】 D 词义猜测题。根据第三段中“Research from the Royal Society noted that ”group singing can improve physical and mental health, as well as promote social bonds”.(英国皇家学会的一项研究指出,“合唱可以改善身心健康,还能增进社会联系。”)”以及画线词上文“rather than letting my unsung tunes”和后文“I decided to take on a new choral experience”可知,作者从研究中得知合唱可以改善身心健康,还能增进社会联系,所以为了不让自己的无名小调阻塞自己,作者决定进行一次新的合唱体验,故画线词意思是“阻塞”。A.Reach.到达;B.Blind使失明;C.Cheat欺骗;D.Choke阻塞。故选D。

【解析】 B 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“I've been singing in the choir ever since, because group singing gives me a sense of security—and each rehearsal is a lifeline, a connected thread, an intake of air working toward a collective voice.(从那以后,我就一直在唱诗班里唱歌,因为合唱给了我一种安全感——而每一次排练都是一条生命线,一条相连的线,一股通向集体声音的空气)”可知,作者从她最近的唱诗班经历中学到了团队合作使她受益匪浅。故选B。
11.Which can be the best title for the text?

D
Hidden beneath the surface in the roots of Earths astonishing and diverse plant life, there exists a biological superhighway linking together the members of the plant kingdom in what researchers call the “wood wide web”.
The network is comprised of thin threads of fungus (真菌) that grow outwards underground up to a few meters from its partnering plant, meaning that all of the plant life within a region likely connected to one another.The partnership is beneficial for both parties involved, plants provide carbohydrates (碳水化合物) to the funguses and in exchange, the funguses aid in gathering water and providing nutrients to its partnering plant.
A study conducted by Rensen Zeng of the South China Agricultural University found that this also allowed for plants to warn one another of potential harm.The study showed Broad Beans used the fungal network to spy on one another for upcoming danger.
Like our Internet, this fungal connectivity is also full of crime.Some plants, such as Golden Marigolds have been found to release poisons into the network to slow down the growth of surrounding plants in the fight for water and light.Other plants, such as the Phantom Orchid, do not have the chlorophyll (叶绿素) and must get the necessary nutrients from surrounding plants.
Research suggests that animals such as insects and worms may be able to detect slight exchanges of nutrients through the network, allowing them to more easily find delicious roots to feed on; however, this has not been conclusively made clear in experimentation.The more we learn about this phenomenon, the more our understanding of the plant life of our planet will continue to change.Perhaps one day, we may be able to map out these complex networks entirely.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述的将植物王国成员连接在一起的高速公路,被研究人员称之为“木网”。
12.What is the function of the first paragraph?
A.To explain the aim of the web.
B.To introduce the main topic.
C.To give definition of diverse life.
D.To show the importance of plants.
【解析】 B 推理判断题。根据文章的第一段“Hidden beneath the surface in the roots of Earths astonishing and diverse plant life, there exists a biological superhighway linking together the members of the plant kingdom in what researchers call the “wood wide web”.(在地表之下,在地球上惊人而多样的植物生命的根部,存在着一条生物高速公路,将植物王国的成员连接在一起,研究人员称之为“木网”)”及下文的描述可知,文章主要讲述将植物王国成员连接在一起的高速公路。由此可知,第一段的作用是引入话题。故选B。
13.The criminal behavior of plants can be seen as a way to ________.
A.compete for survival
B.gather more water
C.take in sunlight
D.break natural rules
【解析】 A 推理判断题。根据文章的第四段“Like our Internet, this fungal connectivity is also full of crime...Other plants, such as the Phantom Orchid, do not have the chlorophyll (叶绿素) and must get the necessary nutrients from surrounding plants.(就像我们的互联网一样,这种真菌连接也充满了犯罪。一些植物,如金盏花,在争夺水和光的过程中会释放毒素到网络中来减缓周围植物的生长。其他植物,如幽灵兰,没有叶绿素,必须从周围的植物获得必要的营养)”可知,有些植物释放毒素是给自己获得营养的。由此推断,植物的犯罪行为可以看作是一种生存竞争的方式。故选A。
14.What does the last paragraph suggest?
A.Animals can also feed on the fungus.
B.Nutrient exchanges are too slight to detect.
C.No experiment can prove the phenomenon.
D.More needs to be done to work out the network.
【解析】 D 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“The more we learn about this phenomenon, the more our understanding of the plant life of our planet will continue to change.Perhaps one day, we may be able to map out these complex networks entirely.(我们对这一现象了解得越多,我们对地球上植物生命的理解就会越深刻。也许有一天,我们能够完全绘制出这些复杂的网络)”可推断,最后一段就是暗示需要做更多的工作来解决植物的网络问题。故选D。
15.Which can be the best title for the text?
A.The Partnership between Plants
B.The Unknown Roots of the Earth
C.The Superhighway Linking the Plants
D.The Mysterious Map Changing the World

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。
Different Cultures
The cultures of the East and the West really distinguish each other a lot.__16__
The origin of the Eastern culture is mainly from two countries: China and India.Both of the two cultures are developed by rivers—the Yellow River in China and the Indus River in India.__17__
When the two mother rivers gave birth to the Eastern culture, another famous culture was brought up on the Mesopotamian Plain—the Mesopotamian Civilisation.This civilisation later on developed into the cultures of Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome.__18__ Like the Chinese culture, the European culture also crossed waters.When the British settled down in America, their culture went with them over the Atlantic Ocean.So the American culture doesn't distinguish from the European culture a lot.
__19__ Take the language system for example.In the East, most languages belong to the pictographic language while the Western languages are mostly based on the Latin system.Other causes like human race difference count as well.But what's more, due to the far distance and the steep areas between the East and the West, the two cultures seldom communicate until recent centuries.So they grew up totally in their own ways with almost no interference from the other.
The differences are everywhere.__20__ But different cultures make the world of the 21st century more colourful.The cultural gap should not be the obstacle(障碍) to the civilisation of human beings.It ought to be the motivation of our going farther.
A.Let us work together to keep a variety of culture.
B.One important thing is to learn about other cultures.
C.And these two are well-known as the base of the European culture.
D.At the same time, some other differences add to the cultural differences.
E.This is because the culture systems are two separate systems on the whole.
F.They helped the two cultures develop for centuries and form their own styles.
G.They are obvious and affect peopled ways of thinking and their views of the world.
【语篇解读】 本文主要讲述了东西方文化的起源与不同。
16.【解析】 E 前面一句说东西方的文化是彼此不同的。后面应说明文化不同的原因。故选E项。
17.【解析】 F 前面讲中国文化、印度文化分别发源于黄河和印度河,后面应该讲这两条河流的具体作用。故选F项。
18.【解析】 C 第18空后的句子讲到了欧洲文化(the European cullure),由此可推断第18空所选的句子中应含有关键词European culture,故选C项。
19.【解析】 D 由设空后列举的文化差异的其他原因(文字、地域和种族差异) 可知,这一段主要是讲文化差异的其他方面。故选D项。
20.【解析】 G 由第20 空后的But different cultures make the world of the 21st century more colourful.(但是不同的文化使得21世纪的世界更加多彩)可知,前一句讲的是文化差异的影响,且与空后句子为转折关系,故选G项。

People can become root-bound, too.Those who __29__ personal growth or development often want to make __30__ that can lead to greater achievements or much more happiness.However, they more often find they out grow their environment and want to __31__.Their view becomes larger and they need __32__ environment to live in.They need people who will make __33__ for their growth.If they cannot be __34__, some problems are sure to appear.
So if your new-found growth causes you to abandon the old ways, you may need to __35__ you are bigger now.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇记叙文,讲述了作者家养了许多年的漂亮的绿植由于根长满了盆而逐渐死亡,但是将它的叶子移植到新的盆子里却很好地活了。由此联想到我们的人生,也会经常遇到达到瓶颈的这种状态,这时,我们应该摒弃旧的方向寻求新的发展。

Robert and Henry were two friends in the same class.They always played together and went home together.One day Robert and Henry were going home from school, when, on turning a corner, Robert cried out, “A fight! Let's go and see!”
“No,” said Henry.“Let us go quietly home and not meddle with(插手) this quarrel.We have nothing to do with it and may get into mischief(trouble).Also our parents are expecting to have dinner with us together at home and I don't want them to worry about me.”
“You are a coward, and afraid to go,” said Robert, and off he ran.Henry went straight home, and in the afternoon went to school as usual.
But Robert had told all the boys that Henry was a coward, and they laughed at him a great deal.From then on, they looked down upon Henry and didn't want to play with him together.
Henry was sad but he wasn't angry with Robert for his rude behavior, because he learned that true courage is shown most in bearing misunderstanding when it was not deserved, and that he ought to be afraid of nothing but doing wrong.Thus, he just ignored the other boys' laughter and continued to go to school and study as well.However, Robert didn't invite Henry to go home with him anymore.Instead, he had some other boys who also thought Henry was a coward.Every day after school, they didn't go home directly but went to the river or somewhere to play games and had a lot of fun.
A few days later, Robert was bathing with his new friends in a river, and got out of his depth.He struggled, and screamed for help, but all in vain.The boys who had called Henry a coward got out of the water as fast as they could, but they did not even try to help him.
