It’s a special place in the desert (沙漠) of Mauritania, Africa. Looking from the sky, it looks like a huge, bright eye! It is as long as 500 football fields. The Eye looks like a big round pizza with different colored parts. How was it made? Millions of years ago, the ground under the sand started to rise up. Then, wind and rain slowly wore away the soft rocks (岩石), leaving the hard ones behind. Over time, these hard rocks formed the beautiful circles we see today. From above, you can count about 10 round circles, each one has a different color. The biggest circle is on the outside, with smaller ones inside. But the Eye of the Sahara is in trouble. The desert is very dry, and sandstorms often blow over it. The sand can make the rocks difficult to see. Also, not many people know about this amazing place because it’s far from big cities. What can we do to help? Scientists are studying the Eye to find ways to conserve the rocks from sand. Some people also suggest building a small road or a simple visitor center nearby. This way, more kids and tourists can come and see the Eye of the Sahara. 1．What does the Eye of the Sahara look like? A．A football field. B．A bright star. C．A colorful pizza. D．A deep ocean. 2．What can we learn about the circles of the Eye from Paragraph 2? A．They are all the same size. B．The smallest circle is in the center. C．Each circle has the same color.

D．Because it’s too hot to get there. 4．What does the underlined word “conserve” in Paragraph 4 mean? A．Climb. B．Hike. C．Develop. D．Protect. 5．What is the main purpose of the passage? A．To talk about dangerous sandstorms. B．To tell how to build a visitor center. C．To compare different deserts in Africa. D．To describe a natural wonder and its challenges. 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．B 4．D 5．D 【详解】本文主要介绍了非洲撒哈拉之眼的地貌特征、形成原因及其面临的保护挑战。 1．细节理解题。根据文章第1段“The Eye looks like a big round pizza with different colored parts.”可知，它像一块彩色的披萨。故选C。 2．推理判断题。根据文章第2段“The biggest circle is on the outside, with smaller ones inside.”可知，最大的圆环在外侧，内侧是较小的圆环，因此中心应是最小的圆环。故选B。 3．细节理解题。根据文章第3段“not many people know about this amazing place because it’s far from big cities.”可知，没有多少人知道这个神奇的地方，因为它远离大城市。故选B。 4．词句猜测题。根据文章第4段“Scientists are studying the Eye to find ways to conserve the rocks from sand.”可知，科学家正在研究撒哈拉之眼，以找到保护岩石免受沙子侵蚀的方法。“conserve”意为“保护”。故选D。 5．主旨大意题。全文围绕撒哈拉之眼的地貌、形成及保护展开，重点描述其自然奇观与挑战。故选D。 （D） Can you imagine a sea of sand three times bigger than India? It is the Sahara Desert (撒哈拉沙漠), the largest desert in the world. It covers 11 countries in North Africa and is over 9 million square kilometers. That’s more than 30% of Africa. In the Sahara, temperatures are very different during the day and at night. It is much hotter during the day than at night. During the day, the hottest time is between 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. , when the temperature rises to 33℃ . But it is very cold at night. The coldest time is at 4 a.m. , when the temperature falls to -1℃ . How to stay alive in the Sahara Desert? Marco Rivera, our survival expert, has some tips. First, take warm clothes and a blanket (毛毯). During the day, cover your body, head and face. Clothes protect you from the sun and keep water in your body. You will also need a warm blanket at night. It can get cold very quickly. Second, try to drink some water at least once every hour. You need your water to last as long as possible. Drink only what you need. Third, try to close your mouth and not to talk. When you talk, you lose water from your body. Last, eat as little as you can, because if you eat, you will get thirsty and drink all of your water more quickly. You can live for three weeks with no food, but you can only live for three days without water. 1．The writer introduces the topic in Paragraph 1 by ______.

The water is too cold for swimming. There are no forests, and there are only a few trees and green fields. Instead of fields, there are just rocks（岩石）and small plants. The hills, too, are just piles of rocks. Sometimes the view（风景）looks like pictures of the moon. But there is beauty in this place. From the beach you can often see all the way to the rocky hills. From the hills you can see far out to other islands and the open ocean（海洋）. The colors, too, are special. Blue is everywhere. It’s in the sky and in the ocean. It is in the tiny flowers that grow on the hills. In the spring there is also green in the hills. In the summer and fall the hills are more purple. Often the air is soft and gray with clouds and rain. On these islands you can forget about the rest of the world. The evenings are quiet. The restaurants close early, and there isn’t any nightlife. Visitors stay at a guest house or a Bed and Breakfast. This is the best way to learn about life on the islands. The islanders are often friendly, and they like to talk. If you want to meet islanders, you can also try the pubs（酒吧）or even the shops. People are in no hurry here. They like to chat about the weather or the fishing. There are also some tourist shops, but not many. They sell the usual tourist things. They also sell some beautiful clothes made of wool from the islands. Do not come to the Hebrides for shopping. Come to walk in the clean, cool air. Come for the quiet beauty and for the views. 1．Are there many people living on the Hebrides Islands? 2．How is the weather on the Hebrides Islands in summer? 3．Where can you see other islands and the open ocean? 4．What do the islanders like to chat about? 5．What attracts（吸引）you most on the Hebrides Islands?

It is one of the largest mountain ranges in North China, and it was called “the backbone (脊梁) 3 China” in ancient times. Many legends about the very beginning of human civilization (文明) come from the Taihang area. For example, Hou Yi protected 4 (he) hometown by shooting the suns; Nv Wa used stones 5 (repair) the sky to make sure that humans would have a 6 (good) future; Yandi, one of 7 (early) Chinese emperors, tried large numbers of herbs (草药) and 8 (teach) people how to use them to treat diseases. The Taihang Mountain is not only where the ancient stories happened, but also 9 important place where tens of thousands of fossils (化石) were found. These fossils show how the earth has changed over time. At the same time, we can also learn valuable information about how ancient humans lived from the discoveries around the area. Nowadays, there are natural forests around the area with 10 (beauty) colors in four seasons. If you need a trip that helps you learn different things about history, culture and other knowledge, the Taihang Mountain is a great choice for you. 六、阅读理解（共17小题，每小题2分，共34分） （A） Four Major Plateaus (四大高原) in China Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is the largest plateau in China and the highest plateau in the world. It is about 2. 5 million square kilometers in size. Its elevation (高度) is between 3,000 and 5,000 meters. The second largest plateau in China, Inner Mongolian Plateau, is between 1,000 and 1,200 meters above sea level (海平面) in North China. The Loess Plateau (黄土高原) is on the west of Taihang Mountains and on the east of Qilian Mountains. It covers about 640,000 square kilometers and is between 800 and 3,000 meters above sea level. Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau is the smallest of the four which is between 400 and 3,500 meters above sea level. It covers Guizhou Province and part of Yunnan Province. The famous Huangguoshu Waterfall is on the plateau. 1．Which one is the highest plateau in the world? A．Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. B．The Loess Plateau. C．Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau.

But in terms of height, the most fantastic falls in the world are Angel Falls. They are deep in the jungles (丛林) of Venezuela. ② Few people have ever seen Angel Falls. It’s very hard to get there. If you went by land, you would have to travel for weeks through thick jungles. If you went by plane from Caracas, a capital city of Venezuela, it would take about four hours. ③ The fascinating falls are God’s gift to nature. One of the most interesting facts about Angel Falls is how they were found. They were named after an American pilot. His name was James Angel. In 1937, he was forced to come down on the top of the mountain near the falls. That’s how he found them. ④ Angel Falls drop nearly a kilometer (about 979m) from a table-top mountain. The water seems to be dropping straight out of the clouds. The height of the falls is so great that by the time the water reaches the ground, it has already turned into fog. ⑤ If you have a chance to visit them, you’ll never forget them! 1．Why have few people ever seen Angel Falls? A．Because it is not easy to get there. B．Because the tickets are very expensive. C．Because there is no hotel or restaurant. D．Because visitors can only get there on foot. 2．If you want to visit Angel Falls, how long will you spend getting there by air from Caracas? A．For about 40 minutes. B．For about 4 hours. C．For about 4 days. D．For about 2 weeks. 3．Who found Angel Falls according to the passage? A．A woman in Caracas. B．An American visitor. C．A pilot from Caracas. D．An American pilot. 4．Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage? A． B． C． D． （C） The Eye of the Sahara is one of Earth’s most amazing natural wonders. It’s a special place in the desert (沙漠) of Mauritania, Africa. Looking from the sky, it looks like a huge, bright eye! It is as long as 500 football fields. The Eye looks like a big round pizza with different colored parts. How was it made? Millions of years ago, the ground under the sand started to rise up. Then, wind and rain slowly wore away the soft rocks (岩石), leaving the hard ones behind. Over time, these hard rocks formed the beautiful circles we see today. From above, you can count about 10 round circles, each one has a different color. The biggest circle is on the outside, with smaller ones inside. But the Eye of the Sahara is in trouble. The desert is very dry, and sandstorms often blow over it. The sand can make the rocks difficult to see. Also, not many people know about this amazing place because it’s far from big cities. What can we do to help? Scientists are studying the Eye to find ways to conserve the rocks from sand. Some people also suggest building a small road or a simple visitor center nearby. This way, more kids and tourists can come and see the Eye of the Sahara. 1．What does the Eye of the Sahara look like? A．A football field. B．A bright star. C．A colorful pizza. D．A deep ocean. 2．What can we learn about the circles of the Eye from Paragraph 2? A．They are all the same size. B．The smallest circle is in the center. C．Each circle has the same color. D．There are about 8 round circles. 3．Why can’t many people visit the Eye of the Sahara easily? A．Because it’s too small to find. B．Because it’s far from cities. C．Because it’s always full of water. D．Because it’s too hot to get there. 4．What does the underlined word “conserve” in Paragraph 4 mean? A．Climb. B．Hike. C．Develop. D．Protect. 5．What is the main purpose of the passage? A．To talk about dangerous sandstorms. B．To tell how to build a visitor center. C．To compare different deserts in Africa. D．To describe a natural wonder and its challenges. （D） Can you imagine a sea of sand three times bigger than India? It is the Sahara Desert (撒哈拉沙漠), the largest desert in the world. It covers 11 countries in North Africa and is over 9 million square kilometers. That’s more than 30% of Africa. In the Sahara, temperatures are very different during the day and at night. It is much hotter during the day than at night. During the day, the hottest time is between 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. , when the temperature rises to 33℃ . But it is very cold at night. The coldest time is at 4 a.m. , when the temperature falls to -1℃ . How to stay alive in the Sahara Desert? Marco Rivera, our survival expert, has some tips. First, take warm clothes and a blanket (毛毯). During the day, cover your body, head and face. Clothes protect you from the sun and keep water in your body. You will also need a warm blanket at night. It can get cold very quickly. Second, try to drink some water at least once every hour. You need your water to last as long as possible. Drink only what you need. Third, try to close your mouth and not to talk. When you talk, you lose water from your body. Last, eat as little as you can, because if you eat, you will get thirsty and drink all of your water more quickly. You can live for three weeks with no food, but you can only live for three days without water. 1．The writer introduces the topic in Paragraph 1 by ______. A．telling stories B．listing numbers C．giving examples D．making a survey 2．According to Paragraph 2, which of the following is TRUE? A． B． C． D． 3．What can we know from the passage? A．The Sahara Desert covers 9 countries in North Africa. B．In the Sahara Desert, you can talk and eat as usual. C．In the Sahara Desert, you don’t need a warm blanket at night. D．In the Sahara Desert, water is more important than food. 4．What is the main idea of the passage? A．It mainly introduces the Sahara Desert. B．It mainly introduces the area of the Sahara Desert. C．It mainly introduces the temperature of the Sahara Desert. D．It mainly introduces how to stay alive in the Sahara Desert. 5．Who would be interested in reading this passage most? A．Someone studying geography. B．Someone studying history. C．Someone who is good at taking photos. D．Someone who is interested in biology. 七、任务型阅读（共5小题，每小题2分，共10分） 阅读下面短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 If you like unusual places, you should visit the Hebrides Islands（岛）.
