France Calais in France has a dragon standing 33 feet tall,82 feet long,with a wingspan of more than 55 feet.It walks and moves as you would imagine a dragon does,and you can take it for a ride.The Calais dragon is a mechanical wonder,which is nearly too real to be called a fairground creature. Wales In the UK,you will find a proud dragon country,Wales.Here there is the legend of two dragons: one white and one red.Wales's tale describes the two dragons fighting and the red one winning,so you will find it difficult to hurry about the country without coming across a red dragon.Dragons are sold in souvenir shops,sit by ancient castles,hang around in King Arthur's Labyrinth,and are featured on the national flag. Norway The Vikings knew a thing or two about dragons.In the lovely film How to Train Your Dragon,they even flew them.But seriously,when you dig into Norway's Viking history and legends,you will find dragons mentioned everywhere,though not as cute as those in the film.From the figurehead in the Viking Ship Museum to jewelry,and decorations on buildings,be on the lookout for them when visiting Norway. Bhutan The Druk or Thunder Dragon,is the national symbol and appears everywhere.The country is called the Land of the Thunder Dragon,or the Kingdom of Druk,and it's part of the national anthem (国歌) and its flag.Despite its fearful name,it's actually rather cute.Legend has it that the sound of thunder through the mountains is actually the dragon roaring. [语篇解读]　本文是一篇应用文。世界上很多国家都有与龙有关的传说,文章介绍了四个国家意义非凡的龙。 1 2 3 1.What can we learn about the Calais dragon？(　　) A.It's a character from a popular film. B.It's a creation designed for entertainment. C.It's a real creature trained for rides. D.It's a sculpture displayed in a museum. B 1 2 3 解析：推理判断题。根据France部分下的“It walks and moves...The Calais dragon is a mechanical wonder,which is nearly too real to be called a fairground creature.”可知,加来龙可以走路和移动,人们可以骑上它出去兜一圈。它是一个机械奇迹,它几乎太真实了以至于被称为露天游乐场的动物。由此可推知,加来龙是为娱乐而设计的机械龙,故选B。fairground“露天游乐场”与B项中的“entertainment”意义一致。 1 2 3 2.What do Wales and Bhutan have in common on dragons？(　　) A.They feature dragons on their flags. B.They include dragons in their anthems. C.They have a legend of two dragons. D.They describe dragons as cute images. A 解析：细节理解题。根据Wales部分下的“Dragons...are featured on the national flag.”以及Bhutan部分下的“it's part of the national anthem and its flag”可知,威尔士和不丹的国旗上都有龙,故选A。 1 2 3 3.Which country associates dragons with a natural phenomenon？(　　) A.France.　　　　　　　 B.Wales. C.Norway. D.Bhutan. D 解析：细节理解题。题干中的关键信息为 a natural phenomenon “一种自然现象”。根据Bhutan部分下的“the sound of thunder through the mountains is actually the dragon roaring”可知,在不丹的传说中,穿过山间的雷声实际上是龙的咆哮声,所以不丹把龙和一种自然现象(雷声)联系在一起,故选D。 B (2024·重庆名校联盟联考)When the discovery of fossilized (成为化石的) footprints made in what's now New Mexico was made public in 2021,it was an astonishing moment for archaeology (考古学),seemingly rewriting a chapter of the human story.Now new research is offering further evidence of their significance. While they look like they could have been made yesterday,the footprints were pressed into mud 21,000 to 23,000 years ago,according to radiocarbon dating of the seeds of a water plant that were preserved above and below the fossils.This date dramatically pushed back the timeline of humans' history in the Americas,the last land to be settled by prehistoric people.The 61 dated prints,which were discovered in the Tularosa Basin,near the edge of an ancient lake in White Sands National Park,were made at a time when many scientists think that massive ice sheets had stopped human passage into North America,indicating that humans arrived in the region even earlier. However,some archaeologists questioned the age of the footprints established by those initial findings.They noted that water plants such as Ruppia cirrhosa—the one used in the 2021 study—can acquire carbon atoms from the water rather than the air,which can result in a misleadingly early date. In a follow-up study published Thursday in the journal Science,researchers said they have produced two new lines of evidence to support their initial dates.“Even as the original work was being published,we were speeding up to test our results with multiple lines of evidence,” said Kathleen Springer,co-lead author of the new Science paper,in a news release.“We were confident in our original ages,as well as the strong evidence.” When and how early humans first moved to the Americas has long been debated and remains poorly understood.Current estimates range from 13,000 years ago to more than 20,000 years ago.However,the earliest archaeological evidence for the region's settlement is insufficient and often controversial,making the footprints especially important. [语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了关于美洲最早人类足迹的持续研究。 4 5 6 7 4.What is paragraph 2 mainly about？(　　) A.The purpose of the new research. B.The method of the dating. C.The significance of the footprints. D.The efforts of the scientists. C 4 5 6 7 解析：段落大意题。根据第二段中的“This date dramatically pushed back the timeline of humans' history in the Americas”和“indicating that humans arrived in the region even earlier”可知,这些足迹年代的确定极大地将人类在美洲的历史时间线往前移,表明人类到达美洲的时间更早。由此可见,本段主要讲足迹的重要性,故C项正确。 4 5 6 7 5.Why did some archaeologists question the age of the footprints？(　　) A.It goes against the prior knowledge. B.The prints seem to be made recently. C.The previous research method is improper. D.The then massive ice sheets are misleading. C 4 5 6 7 解析：推理判断题。根据第三段中的“water plants...can acquire carbon atoms from the water rather than the air,which can result in a misleadingly early date”可知,一些考古学家之所以会质疑这些足迹的年代是因为2021年研究中使用的水生植物可以从水中而不是空气中获取碳原子,这可能误导性地将时间提前,即之前的研究方法是不恰当的,这才会让他们有所怀疑,故C项正确。 4 5 6 7 6.What will the author probably talk about next？(　　) A.The doubt about the age of the footprints. B.The new evidence of the fossilized footprints. C.An agreement between the two sides of the debate. D.Early humans' hardship of moving to the Americas. B 4 5 6 7 解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“However,the earliest archaeological evidence for the region's settlement is insufficient and often controversial”可知,关于该地区定居的最早期的考古证据是不足的,而且经常存在争议;再结合倒数第二段中的“We were confident in our original ages,as well as the strong evidence.”可以推断,作者接下来可能会进一步提供新的证据来证实对足迹化石的年代判断是正确的,故选B。 4 5 6 7 7.What is the purpose of the text？(　　) A.To explain the process of the archaeological study. B.To report the discovery of fossilized footprints. C.To introduce a debate on the age of the footprints. D.To present the progress of the footprint research. D 4 5 6 7 解析：写作意图题。作者在第一段表明主题“Now new research is offering further evidence of their significance”;第二段讲足迹的重要性;第三段讲一些考古学家提出了疑问;第四段讲进一步的研究和证据;最后一段提到了早期的研究证据不足,因此该足迹非常重要。综上可知,作者写这篇文章是为了展示足迹研究的最新进展,故D项正确。 1 2 3 4 5 6 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 7 Ⅱ.完形填空(每小题1分,共15分) (2024·江苏南京、盐城二模)Katherine would never forget the day when her daughter brought a plate from kindergarten,with a drawing of mouse-like creatures on it. 1 2 3 4 5 6 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 7 “Emma,what are these little characters?
