Three days ago, we made a decision to visit the Great Wall. When we were on the bus, we saw a lot of new buildings and new shops. I thought Beijing was more beautiful than before. It took us about two hours to get to the Great Wall. The Great Wall runs across north China like a huge dragon running from west to east. It’s the longest wall on the earth and also one of the wonders in the world. It has a history of more than two thousand years. The first part was built during the Spring and Autumn Period. All the work was done by hand. Though the Great Wall was completed, thousands of people died while building the wall. Since then, it has been rebuilt and repaired many times. Now the Great Wall has taken on a new look. If you like to visit places of interest, welcome to Beijing. We can travel to the Great Wall together. Best wishes. Yours, Li Hua. 第二部分 笔试(共计95分) 第一节 选择题 (50分) I. Reading Comprehension(共15小题, 每小题2分, 共30分) Choose the best answer according to the passage you read.

In the book Educated, the US writer Tara Westover shows us how she deals with (处理) hard times. The book talks about Westover’s life. Her father had a junkyard (垃圾场) in Idaho, US. It’s a very small mountain village. Tara and her brothers and sisters worked every day. Before she turned 17, she had never traveled outside. None of the kids in her family had ever been to a school or a hospital. As she got older, she felt that she needed to get away from this uncomfortable situation. Luckily, Westover’s older brother taught her to read. With hard work, Westover went to college, and later got a PhD (博士学位) in History at Cambridge University. Education changed her, her life, her way of thinking and even her luck. After reading the book, I come to feel the deepest thanks for my own family, and the education I got. Education allows girls like Westover to fly like birds toward their own goals. It allows us to get a different view, find new experiences, better understand others and explore the wider world. I wish for all of us to be like free and powerful birds, growing and changing through challenges and difficulties. 24. What’s the main purpose of Paragraph 1? A. To ask for readers’ advice. B. To ask readers to buy the book. C. To tell how to change one’s life. D. To introduce the theme of the book. 25. What can we learn about Westover’s life from Paragraph 2? A. Her brother got a PhD in History. B. She changed her life with hard work. C. Her life in the village was comfortable. D. She left the small village when she was little. 26.

A book review. C. A fun story. D. A reading plan. 【答案】24. D 25. B 26. D 27. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了美国作家Tara Westover在她的书中展示了她是如何应对困难的，并介绍了作者读完这本书之后的感想。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“If you grew up in an unusual family and felt limited (受限的), how would you change your life story? In the book Educated, the US writer Tara Westover shows us how she deals with (处理) hard times.”可知，第一段先提出了在不寻常家庭长大感觉受限该如何改变生活故事的问题，然后引出了《你当像鸟飞往你的山》这本书，表明这本书会展示如何处理困难时期，所以第一段的主要目的是介绍这本书的主题。故选D。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Luckily, Westover’s older brother taught her to read. With hard work, Westover went to college, and later got a PhD (博士学位) in History at Cambridge University.”可知，塔拉·韦斯特弗在哥哥教她读书后，通过努力学习上了大学并获得了剑桥大学的历史学博士学位，她通过努力工作改变了自己的生活。故选B。 【26题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Education changed her, her life, her way of thinking and even her luck. … Education allows girls like Westover to fly like birds toward their own goals. It allows us to get a different view, find new experiences, better understand others and explore the wider world.”可知，最后一段主要讲述了教育改变了韦斯特弗以及教育的作用和力量，它能让像韦斯特弗这样的女孩实现目标，能让我们获得不同的视角等，所以最后一段主要是关于教育的力量。故选D。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据全文内容，文章先引出《你当像鸟飞往你的山》这本书，然后介绍了书的内容，最后阐述了读了这本书后的感悟，所以这篇文章是一篇书评。故选B。 (C) Some animals can easily find their way home after a long journey. How do they make it? Scientific research shows that they are born with certain unusual abilities for directions. A certain kind of ants, for example, can count their steps to avoid getting lost. They can go as far as 110 metres and bring food home. These arts live in the open desert (沙漠), so they have nothing to guide them along the way. It’s like someone walking six kilometres through a dark forest. Some fish have an unbelievable sense of smell. They can smell even a single drop of their home water in a large sea area. Some sea birds have the similar ability. They are able to make a smell map of their flying area. Some animals can sense the Earth’s magnetic field (磁场), while humans can’t. This magnetic field guides a certain kind of fish when they swim a long way to a place and then back. How can this kind of fish do that? It is still a mystery. Scientists have not found the answer yet. However, animals with such unusual abilities still have difficulty dealing with environmental changes caused by human activities. For example, many birds depend on stars for directions, but they get lost easily at night when city lights are kept on all night. To solve this problem, we can simply turn off some lights at night. Clearly, one small act of humans may mean a lot to animals. 28. How can a certain kind of ants find their way? A. By imagining the way. B. By counting their steps. C. By bringing food together. D. By walking through a forest. 29. What can some fish do with the help the Earth’s magnetic field? A. They can swim as far as 110 metres and bring food home. B. They can smell even a single drop of their home water in a large area. C. They can swim a long way to a place and then back. D. They can make a smell map of their swimming area. 30. What are people advised to do according to the last paragraph? A. To help animals. B. To travel at night. C. To keep city lights on. D. To develop unusual abilities. 31. Which can be the best title for the passage? A. Birds’ Sense of Light B. Fish’s Sense of Smell C. Animals’ Sense of Direction D. Animals Can Sense the Magnetic Field 【答案】28. B 29. C 30. A 31. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了动物如何利用其天生的特殊能力来导航和找到回家的路，并提到人类活动对动物导航能力的影响，呼吁人们采取行动减少对动物的干扰。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“A certain kind of ants, for example, can count their steps to avoid getting lost.”可知，某种蚂蚁是通过数步数来避免迷路、找到路的。故选B。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“This magnetic field guides a certain kind of fish when they swim a long way to a place and then back.”可知，在地球磁场的帮助下，某种鱼可以游很远到一个地方然后再游回来。故选C。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“To solve this problem, we can simply turn off some lights at night. Clearly, one small act of humans may mean a lot to animals.”可知，作者建议人们晚上关掉一些灯，这是在建议人们做一些小事来帮助动物。故选A。 【31题详解】 最佳标题题。本文主要介绍了一些动物如蚂蚁、鱼、海鸟等辨别方向的特殊能力，以及人类活动对动物辨向能力的影响；选项C“动物的方向感”最能概括文章内容，适合作为文章的标题。故选C。 (D) In December 2020, the “quiet carriage (车厢)” service was first introduced on some trains of the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed railway and the Chengdu-Chongqing high-speed railway. Up to June 2024, this service has covered the Beijing-Guangzhou, Beijing-Harbin, Shanghai-Kunming and other high-speed railways. The “quiet carriages” have silent videos and announcements made at a low volume (音量). Doors at both ends of the carriage are closed to reduce noise from outside. During the trip, passengers must wear earphones or turn off loudspeakers when using electronic devices (电子设备). They also need to leave their seats to make or answer calls, and their phones should be set to silent or vibrate mode (振动模式). For those travelling with children, they must take care of them and keep them quiet. Mr. Li, a Chengdu local, said, “I make at least one round trip a week between Chengdu and Chongqing for work. I sometimes need to focus on my work or get some rest during the hour-long trip. The ‘quiet carriage’ is a good choice for me.” “When I booked the tickets, I first saw the choice for the ‘quiet carriage’, and I wanted to give it a shot,” said Miss Mou, who took the train from Beijing to Shanghai. “When I went into the carriage for the first time, signs reminding passengers to keep quiet were everywhere, and it was really much quieter than the other carriages.” Experts say that the “quiet carriage!” service provides passengers with more value-added choices. It not only helps passengers to follow public order, but also creates a more civilized (文明的) travelling environment. 32. How does the author begin the article to get your interest in the “quiet carriage” service? A. By telling a personal story. B. By giving lots of examples. C. By explaining when and where the service started. D. By comparing it to other train services in each city. 33. What is the main idea of the second paragraph? A. The history of high-speed rail services. B. The introduction of a new travelling way. C. The importance of people’s behavior. D. The rules that make the carriages quiet. 34. The underlined words “give it a shot” have the similar meaning with ______. A. enjoy myself B. have a try C. give up D. pay for it 35. Why do experts think the “quiet-carriage” service is valuable? A. It can help passengers focus on the work and rest better. B. It has signs reminding people to keep quiet everywhere. C. It is a good choice for those who often make round trips. D. It encourages order and a civilized travel environment. 【答案】32. C 33. D 34. B 35. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了高铁 “静音车厢” 服务，包括其开始的时间地点、规则，还引用了乘客的评价以及专家对该服务的看法。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第1段 “In December 2020, the ‘quiet carriage (车厢)’ service was first introduced ... Up to June 2024, this service has covered ...” 可知，作者通过说明 “静音车厢” 服务开始的时间和地点来引起读者兴趣。故选C。 【33题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第2段 “The ‘quiet carriages’ have silent videos and announcements made at a low volume (音量) ... and keep them quiet.” 可知，该段主要介绍了 “静音车厢” 的静音视频、低音量广播、关闭车厢两端门、乘客使用电子设备、打电话及带孩子的相关规定等，也就是让车厢保持安静的规则。故选D。 【34题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第4段Miss Mou的话“I wanted to give it a shot”及后文她描述第一次体验静音车厢的情景可推断，give it a shot意为“尝试”。文中提到她看到选项后决定体验，与B选项have a try“试一试”相符。故选B。 【35题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段 “ It not only helps passengers to follow public order, but also creates a more civilized (文明的) travelling environment”可知，专家认为该服务不仅促进公共秩序，还营造文明出行环境。故选D。 III.

Reading Expression(共5小题, 每小题2分, 共10分) Last year, Bob visited Vancouver, Canada alone. He went there to give a talk on the environment. When it was over, he travelled to the Rocky Mountains and stayed in the Maple Leaf Hotel. He then took a short walk to look at the local plants in the forest. After a few hours, he knew he took the wrong way, but was sure he could get back to the hotel. However, after walking for several hours the next day, Bob knew he was in trouble. “I had my mobile phone, but the battery (电池) was almost dead. I could probably make just one call. But I didn’t know the number of my hotel and I didn’t want to worry my family if I really didn’t have to,” said Bob. He went on walking for three more days. He knew which plants he could eat and he had little trouble finding them. On the fourth day, he knew there was no hope and decided to call his family. “He was quite calm when he spoke to me on the phone,” said Shirley, Bob’s wife. “He seemed to be in control (操控) of the situation.” Shirley called the Maple Leaf Hotel at once. “That week, lots of visitors went to the city to watch basketball games, and we thought Mr Rigsby went there too,” said the hotel owner. As soon as Shirley phoned, the hotel sent out some people to look for Bob. They found him about one hour later, and luckily he was quite unhurt. “I will never go to the forest without a guide. I never want an experience like that again,” said Bob. 61. Last year Bob went to Vancouver, Canada by _________ and he _________ a talk on the environment. 62. Bob took a short walk in _________ to look at the local plants in the forest, but he knew he took the wrong way after _________ hours. 63.

Luckily ②. wasn’t 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了鲍勃由于误闯森林而迷路，几天后通过家人的帮助终于得救的故事。 61题详解】 根据“Last year, Bob visited Vancouver, Canada alone. He went there to give a talk on the environment.”可知，独自一人去了加拿大温哥华。他去那里是为了做一个有关环境的演讲，alone=by oneself，主语是男性，反身代词用himself，根据went可知，此句是一般过去时，动词用过去式gave，故填himself；gave。 【62题详解】 根据“He then took a short walk to look at the local plants in the forest. After a few hours, he knew he took the wrong way”可知，稍微走了走，为了观察森林里的当地植物，几个小时后，他发现自己走错了路，in order to“为了”，a few=several修饰复数名词hours，故填order；several。 【63题详解】 根据“He knew which plants he could eat and he had little trouble finding them.”可知，他知道哪些植物可以食用，而且他很容易就能找到这些植物，也就是在寻找这些可以吃的植物上没有问题，any用于否定句，此句是一般过去时，第一空填didn’t，have trouble in doing sth“做某事有困难”，故填didn’t；finding。 【64题详解】 根据“However, after walking for several hours the next day, Bob knew he was in trouble.”可知，第二天走了好几个小时之后，鲍勃意识到自己陷入了困境，be in trouble“陷入困境”，根据was可知，此句是一般过去时，动词用过去式，故填trouble；walked。 【65题详解】 根据“ luckily he was quite unhurt”可知，幸运的是他没有受伤，第一空位于句首，且空格后有逗号隔开，应填副词luckily，be hurt“受伤”，根据found可知，此句是一般过去时，主语是he，be动词用was，否定是wasn’t，故填Luckily；wasn’t。 VII.

Reading Comprehension(共15小题, 每小题2分, 共30分) Choose the best answer according to the passage you read. (A) My favourite thing to do at weekends is to go to the beach. The beach is beautiful all the year. I usually drive there. If the weather is cold, I will wear some warm clothes and go for long walks on the beach. When the weather is hot, I enjoy swimming or just lying in the sun. —Barbara I love going biking! Two years ago, I bought an exercise bike (健身脚踏车). But soon I got bored with being at home, so I bought a used bike and started going for short rides. Now I plan day trips in my neighbourhood (街区). When you drive a car, you miss many things. It’s surprising how much more you can see when you’re biking. —Maggie At weekends, I like reading books. If the weather is nice, I’ll take a good book to the park and stay there reading for hours. I think there’s nothing as enjoyable as reading a good book. —Bill Weekends are for going hiking (徒步旅行) with my parents. We live near some beautiful mountains. Sometimes we camp out at night. We really enjoy cooking dinner over a campfire and spending a night under the stars! —Sara 21. People above all like doing some exercise when they’re free EXCEPT ________. A Barbara B. Maggie C. Bill D. Sara 22. Which of the following sentences is TRUE? A. Barbara usually goes for a walk to the beach. B. Maggie enjoys riding the exercise bike now. C. Bill often takes a book to the park even on a rainy day. D. Sara likes going hiking and camping with her parents. 23. Which question may the four people answer? A. What do you like to do at weekend? B. What do you think of your weekend life? C. What do you look like? D. What’s your hobby? (B) If you grew up in an unusual family and felt limited (受限的), how would you change your life story? In the book Educated, the US writer Tara Westover shows us how she deals with (处理) hard times. The book talks about Westover’s life. Her father had a junkyard (垃圾场) in Idaho, US. It’s a very small mountain village. Tara and her brothers and sisters worked every day. Before she turned 17, she had never traveled outside. None of the kids in her family had ever been to a school or a hospital. As she got older, she felt that she needed to get away from this uncomfortable situation. Luckily, Westover’s older brother taught her to read. With hard work, Westover went to college, and later got a PhD (博士学位) in History at Cambridge University. Education changed her, her life, her way of thinking and even her luck. After reading the book, I come to feel the deepest thanks for my own family, and the education I got. Education allows girls like Westover to fly like birds toward their own goals. It allows us to get a different view, find new experiences, better understand others and explore the wider world. I wish for all of us to be like free and powerful birds, growing and changing through challenges and difficulties. 24. What’s the main purpose of Paragraph 1? A. To ask for readers’ advice. B. To ask readers to buy the book. C. To tell how to change one’s life. D. To introduce the theme of the book. 25. What can we learn about Westover’s life from Paragraph 2? A. Her brother got a PhD in History. B. She changed her life with hard work. C Her life in the village was comfortable. D. She left the small village when she was little. 26. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. How birds fly. B. The ways of thinking. C. Experiences of girls’ growing. D. The power of education. 27. What is the text? A. A news report. B. A book review. C. A fun story. D. A reading plan. (C) Some animals can easily find their way home after a long journey. How do they make it? Scientific research shows that they are born with certain unusual abilities for directions. A certain kind of ants, for example, can count their steps to avoid getting lost. They can go as far as 110 metres and bring food home. These arts live in the open desert (沙漠), so they have nothing to guide them along the way. It’s like someone walking six kilometres through a dark forest. Some fish have an unbelievable sense of smell. They can smell even a single drop of their home water in a large sea area. Some sea birds have the similar ability. They are able to make a smell map of their flying area. Some animals can sense the Earth’s magnetic field (磁场), while humans can’t. This magnetic field guides a certain kind of fish when they swim a long way to a place and then back. How can this kind of fish do that? It is still a mystery. Scientists have not found the answer yet. However, animals with such unusual abilities still have difficulty dealing with environmental changes caused by human activities. For example, many birds depend on stars for directions, but they get lost easily at night when city lights are kept on all night. To solve this problem, we can simply turn off some lights at night. Clearly, one small act of humans may mean a lot to animals. 28. How can a certain kind of ants find their way? A. By imagining the way. B. By counting their steps. C. By bringing food together. D. By walking through a forest. 29. What can some fish do with the help the Earth’s magnetic field? A. They can swim as far as 110 metres and bring food home. B. They can smell even a single drop of their home water in a large area. C. They can swim a long way to a place and then back. D. They can make a smell map of their swimming area. 30. What are people advised to do according to the last paragraph? A. To help animals. B. To travel at night. C. To keep city lights on. D. To develop unusual abilities. 31. Which can be the best title for the passage? A. Birds’ Sense of Light B. Fish’s Sense of Smell C. Animals’ Sense of Direction D. Animals Can Sense the Magnetic Field (D) In December 2020, the “quiet carriage (车厢)” service was first introduced on some trains of the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed railway and the Chengdu-Chongqing high-speed railway. Up to June 2024, this service has covered the Beijing-Guangzhou, Beijing-Harbin, Shanghai-Kunming and other high-speed railways. The “quiet carriages” have silent videos and announcements made at a low volume (音量). Doors at both ends of the carriage are closed to reduce noise from outside. During the trip, passengers must wear earphones or turn off loudspeakers when using electronic devices (电子设备). They also need to leave their seats to make or answer calls, and their phones should be set to silent or vibrate mode (振动模式). For those travelling with children, they must take care of them and keep them quiet. Mr. Li, a Chengdu local, said, “I make at least one round trip a week between Chengdu and Chongqing for work. I sometimes need to focus on my work or get some rest during the hour-long trip. The ‘quiet carriage’ is a good choice for me.” “When I booked the tickets, I first saw the choice for the ‘quiet carriage’, and I wanted to give it a shot,” said Miss Mou, who took the train from Beijing to Shanghai. “When I went into the carriage for the first time, signs reminding passengers to keep quiet were everywhere, and it was really much quieter than the other carriages.” Experts say that the “quiet carriage!” service provides passengers with more value-added choices. It not only helps passengers to follow public order, but also creates a more civilized (文明的) travelling environment. 32. How does the author begin the article to get your interest in the “quiet carriage” service? A. By telling a personal story. B. By giving lots of examples. C. By explaining when and where the service started. D. By comparing it to other train services in each city. 33. What is the main idea of the second paragraph? A. The history of high-speed rail services. B. The introduction of a new travelling way. C. The importance of people’s behavior. D. The rules that make the carriages quiet. 34. The underlined words “give it a shot” have the similar meaning with ______. A. enjoy myself B. have a try C. give up D. pay for it 35. Why do experts think the “quiet-carriage” service is valuable? A. It can help passengers focus on the work and rest better. B. It has signs reminding people to keep quiet everywhere. C. It is a good choice for those who often make round trips. D. It encourages order and a civilized travel environment. III.

Nowadays, scientists helped some Burrowing Owls settle (安置) into their new homes. ____36____ They make homes in underground burrows (洞穴) and prefer to live in groups. In California, U.S.A., there is another kind of Burrowing Owls called the Western Burrowing Owl. In the past, these owls lived in the grasslands.

They soon began trying to move these owls to some protected grasslands. In order to make the birds feel more “at home”, ____38____ They also used white paint to make fake droppings (假粪便) of the owls.

He went there to give a talk on the environment. When it was over, he travelled to the Rocky Mountains and stayed in the Maple Leaf Hotel. He then took a short walk to look at the local plants in the forest. After a few hours, he knew he took the wrong way, but was sure he could get back to the hotel. However, after walking for several hours the next day, Bob knew he was in trouble. “I had my mobile phone, but the battery (电池) was almost dead. I could probably make just one call. But I didn’t know the number of my hotel and I didn’t want to worry my family if I really didn’t have to,” said Bob. He went on walking for three more days. He knew which plants he could eat and he had little trouble finding them. On the fourth day, he knew there was no hope and decided to call his family. “He was quite calm when he spoke to me on the phone,” said Shirley, Bob’s wife. “He seemed to be in control (操控) of the situation.” Shirley called the Maple Leaf Hotel at once. “That week, lots of visitors went to the city to watch basketball games, and we thought Mr Rigsby went there too,” said the hotel owner. As soon as Shirley phoned, the hotel sent out some people to look for Bob. They found him about one hour later, and luckily he was quite unhurt. “I will never go to the forest without a guide. I never want an experience like that again,” said Bob. 61. Last year Bob went to Vancouver, Canada by _________ and he _________ a talk on the environment. 62.
