The answer is YES, which may sound 16 .  What David Latimer did will throw light on this question. He has a garden sealed inside a huge glass bottle. He has only opened it once since he started it over 60 years ago. In 1960, when the bottle garden was popular, David also had a great interest in it. He decided to 17 a bottle garden. After putting some compost (混合肥料) and water, which are 18 for plants to grow, into the 10-gallon bottle, he put a young plant into it. David wondered what would happen if he sealed it up. So he did like that and put it near a sunny window, 19 light to enter through the glass. The bottle garden soon made an ecosystem (生态系统) of 20 own through the magic of the sun just like what plants do in nature. In 1972 David did open the bottle to water the plant. But then it was kept sealed 21 fresh water or air. It may seem strange that the plants 22 to grow, but it’s not-the garden is a self-sufficient (自给自足的) ecosystem. It’s a 23 example of how nature can provide everything necessary for itself to live. The bottle just 24 in the way that the earth does as a whole. How amazing the bottle garden is!

These poets create the very values by which poetry is judged,” said Harvard professor Stephen Owen in Du Fu: China’s Greatest Poet, a BBC documentary (纪录片). Despite the fact that Du Fu is usually mentioned in the same breath as Dante and Shakespeare, he has remained largely unknown in the Western world for long. However, with the screening of the first English-language documentary featuring the poet, the days of Du Fu as China’s best-kept literary secret seem to be numbered. It is written and presented by Michael Wood, a skilled television historian who also directed other China-related documentaries such as The Story of China and The Story of China’s Reform and Opening-Up (2018). From the Yellow River to the Yangtze Gorges, and down to the forested hills of Hunan province, Wood visited a number of places such as the poet’s birthplace Gongyi in Henan province and the Tang Dynasty capital Chang’an, today’s Xi’an. Along the way, he met and talked to ordinary people, dancers and musicians, who helped to tell the fantastic story of the poet. Interviews with famous scholars specializing in Chinese literature also helped present a clearer picture of the poet’s life experiences, literary significance and his friendship with Li Bai, another great Chinese poet. Born in 712, Du Fu lived in the Tang Dynasty, a time marked by extraordinary cultural achievements. However, after a wave of civil unrest (国内骚乱), Du Fu, the former civil servant at the Tang court, was forced to become a porter, and suffered from starvation. Through ups and downs, the poet never stopped writing, pouring out his concern for his country and people as well as celebrating the simple joys of life. “Du’s poetry reflects the country’s historical events mirrored in his own spiritual journey, so he becomes a part of the emotional vocabulary of Chinese culture,” said Stephen Owen, who in 2016 finished the eight-year-long project to translate Du Fu’s 1,400 poems into English. 26．The underlined part in paragraph 2 implies that the documentary will help ________. A．create the values of poetry B．the West to know more about Du Fu C．keep the secrets in Du Fu’s poems D．Du Fu becomes one of the top 3 poets 27．What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about? A．Du Fu’s colorful life experiences. B．Local people’s admiration for Du Fu. C．Famous scholars’ research findings on Du Fu. D．Michael Wood’s effort in making the documentary. 28．Which of the following can best describe Du Fu? A．Inspiring and helpful. B．Tough and responsible. C．Easy-going and careful. D．Generous and hardworking. 29．What is probably the best title for the passage? A．Du Fu’s poetry wins world’s recognition. B．Du Fu’s poems are translated into English. C．BBC documentary reflects Chinese culture. D．BBC documentary presents China’s Shakespeare. B So far, scientists have named about 1.8 million living species（物种）, but that is just a small number of what probably lives on Earth. With so many plants, animals, and other living things on the planet, it can be difficult to find out what kind of grass is growing by the roadside or what kind of birds just flew by. A soon-to-be-started website might help. Some scientists set up a web-based Encyclopaedia of Life (EOL). It wants to name every species on Earth and be a good guide for people. To get the encyclopaedia started, the scientists will use information in the scientific databases（数据库）. And finally, non-scientists with specialized（专业的）knowledge will come to help in the site. Bird-watchers, for example, will be able to input what birds they see and where they live. To make sure the encyclopaedia is right, scientists will check much of the information added to it. As the EOL develops, you might find it is useful for schools. The site will make some special pages for kids who are studying ecosystems（生态系统）in their neighborhoods. And the EOL is also helpful for you to choose whatever information you like. It takes years for scientists to collect all the data they need to analyze species now. The scientists of the Encyclopaedia of Life hope the EOL will speed up that process. 30．What does the web-based EOL aim to do? A．To save all the plants. B．To work out the number of birds. C．To find out what covers the Earth. D．To name all the living things on Earth. 31．What is one of the characteristics（特点）of the EOL? A．It is set up by school students. B．It has been open to the public. C．It is about different types of grass and birds. D．It produces different kinds of information about species. 32．What does the underlined part “that process” refer to? A．Collecting data. B．Studying ecosystems. C．Creating a new way. D．Describing and analyzing species. 33．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A．There are 1.8 million living species on earth. B．There are no non-scientists helping in the site. C．EOL is not useful for you to choose information. D．As the EOL develops, students might find it’s useful for them. C The Sky Dancer of the Forest Deep in the rainforests of Australia lives one of nature’s most magical creatures—the sugar glider. This tiny animal isn’t a bird, but it flies through the night sky using skin flaps between its legs, making it the most graceful glider in the animal kingdom. Can you imagine seeing a furry squirrel-like creature soaring silently between trees? Scientists have discovered a fascinating connection between sugar gliders and humans. They’re the most efficient seed dispersers for eucalyptus trees—trees that provide the strongest natural medicine humans use against colds. Sadly, these forests are shrinking at the fastest rate in history due to logging. This is why protecting sugar gliders matters. They’re not just cute animals; they’re guardians of the most important forest ecosystem. Without them, eucalyptus seeds wouldn’t travel far, and soon we’d lose the most valuable natural pharmacy on Earth. Last year, I joined a youth project planting “glider highways”—trees connecting isolated forests. Seeing a glider reclaim its path was the proudest moment of my life. Now I understand the true importance of tiny creatures. Sugar gliders teach us that the smallest beings often hold the greatest power to keep nature balanced. After all, aren’t humans and forests the closest partners in survival? 34．What makes sugar gliders unique? A．They produce eucalyptus medicine. B．They can glide between trees. C．They are the largest forest animals. D．They build highways for humans. 35．Why is protecting sugar gliders crucial? A．They cure human diseases directly. B．They maintain vital seed dispersal. C．They prevent forest logging. D．They are the fastest growing species. 36．What does “importance” in paragraph 4 refer to? A．Medical value of eucalyptus trees. B．Role of small creatures in ecosystems. C．Need for youth conservation projects. D．Speed of rainforest destruction. 37．What is the main purpose of “glider highways”? A．To help humans travel through forests. B．To connect fragmented habitats. C．To plant more eucalyptus trees. D．To study animal flight patterns. D Desert A desert is a large area of land with little water and few plants growing on it. What are deserts like? Deserts can be hot and dry places. Rain may not fall there for months or years. Some deserts are sandy and stony, Deserts can also be very windy places. The wind can change the shape of the deserts. It moves sand around from place to place. Temperatures in the desert can vary greatly. In the daytime, the temperature may reach 40℃ even in the shade (阴凉处). At night deserts can become icy cold. Living in the desert The camel is sometimes called “the ship of the desert”. It stores food in its hump (驼峰) and can go for days without water. With large feet, it isn’t easy to fall into the soft sand. Its long eyelashes (睫毛) keep out the sand during sandstorms. An oasis is an area of the desert. People may find water there. The water may be in pools or under the ground. People and animals visit an oasis for water and food. Plants grow at an oasis. Some farmers are able to grow crops here.

It hopes to become the most important encyclopaedia again. 41 It moved to Chicago in 1935. In 1990, the company sold more than 100,000 sets of books. 42 Book sales dropped during the time of the Internet because people stopped getting information only from books. 43 Some online encyclopedias started in the early 21st century. It was the beginning of the end of Encyclopaedia Britannica books. Several years ago, the company stopped publishing the books. It put the whole encyclopaedia on the Internet. 44 One reason is that some online encyclopeadias have millions of articles, but Britannica has only 106,000. About half of Britannica’s articles are free while almost all of the articles on other online encyclopaedias are free. Still, some readers believe that Britannica’s articles are more trustworthy (值得信任的). 45 They make sure the articles are correct. The president of Britannica has a plan. He wants to offer all of the encyclopaedia online for free. The company hopes more people will read it. A．This was Britannica’s best year. B．They began getting it online as well.

Deserts can be hot and dry places. Rain may not fall there for months or years. Some deserts are sandy and stony, Deserts can also be very windy places. The wind can change the shape of the deserts. It moves sand around from place to place. Temperatures in the desert can vary greatly. In the daytime, the temperature may reach 40℃ even in the shade (阴凉处). At night deserts can become icy cold. Living in the desert The camel is sometimes called “the ship of the desert”. It stores food in its hump (驼峰) and can go for days without water. With large feet, it isn’t easy to fall into the soft sand. Its long eyelashes (睫毛) keep out the sand during sandstorms. An oasis is an area of the desert. People may find water there. The water may be in pools or under the ground. People and animals visit an oasis for water and food. Plants grow at an oasis. Some farmers are able to grow crops here. The Arabian Desert The Arabian Desert lies between the Red Sea and the Arabian Gulf. In some part of the desert, it is too hot for people to live in. Oil was found under parts of the desert and in the Arabian Gulf. This oil has made some countries in the area very rich. People have spent much of the money building fine cities with lovely parks and lakes and lived a comfortable life there. 38．The word “vary” in the passage means “________”. A．be low B．be high C．be similar D．be different 39．Which of the following is True according to the passage? A．People and animals visit an oasis for crops and oil.

It hopes to become the most important encyclopaedia again. 41 It moved to Chicago in 1935. In 1990, the company sold more than 100,000 sets of books. 42 Book sales dropped during the time of the Internet because people stopped getting information only from books. 43 Some online encyclopedias started in the early 21st century. It was the beginning of the end of Encyclopaedia Britannica books. Several years ago, the company stopped publishing the books. It put the whole encyclopaedia on the Internet. 44 One reason is that some online encyclopeadias have millions of articles, but Britannica has only 106,000. About half of Britannica’s articles are free while almost all of the articles on other online encyclopaedias are free. Still, some readers believe that Britannica’s articles are more trustworthy (值得信任的). 45 They make sure the articles are correct. The president of Britannica has a plan. He wants to offer all of the encyclopaedia online for free. The company hopes more people will read it. A．This was Britannica’s best year. B．They began getting it online as well. C．Britannica began in Scotland nearly 250 years ago. D．It’s said that each Britannica article is checked by experts. E．Sadly, Britannica online is not as popular as some other online encyclopeadias. 第II卷（非选择题） 四、写作（共三节，满分30分） 第一节．语篇填词（本题共5小题，每小题1分，共5分） Nie Er: A Great Chinese Composer Nie Er was a famous Chinese composer.

The answer is YES, which may sound 16 .  What David Latimer did will throw light on this question. He has a garden sealed inside a huge glass bottle. He has only opened it once since he started it over 60 years ago. In 1960, when the bottle garden was popular, David also had a great interest in it. He decided to 17 a bottle garden. After putting some compost (混合肥料) and water, which are 18 for plants to grow, into the 10-gallon bottle, he put a young plant into it. David wondered what would happen if he sealed it up. So he did like that and put it near a sunny window, 19 light to enter through the glass. The bottle garden soon made an ecosystem (生态系统) of 20 own through the magic of the sun just like what plants do in nature. In 1972 David did open the bottle to water the plant. But then it was kept sealed 21 fresh water or air. It may seem strange that the plants 22 to grow, but it’s not-the garden is a self-sufficient (自给自足的) ecosystem. It’s a 23 example of how nature can provide everything necessary for itself to live. The bottle just 24 in the way that the earth does as a whole. How amazing the bottle garden is! David plans to 25 the bottle garden to his children after he passes away. If they don’t want it, the mini-ecosystem will go to the Royal Horticultural Society. 16．A．unlucky B．unfriendly C．unhappy D．unbelievable 17．A．build B．buy C．find D．protect 18．A．safe B．impossible C．difficult D．necessary 19．A．pushing B．allowing C．remembering D．warning 20．A．its B．his C．her D．their 21．A．as B．for C．with D．without 22．A．continue B．imagine C．mean D．begin 23．A．correct B．careful C．perfect D．terrible 24．A．turns B．works C．moves D．prevents 25．A．introduce B．return C．explain D．leave 【答案】 16．D 17．A 18．D 19．B 20．A 21．D 22．A 23．C 24．B 25．D 【导语】本文介绍了植物被密封在玻璃瓶中能存活60年以上，以及大卫的瓶子花园的介绍。 16．句意：这听起来可能令人难以置信。 unlucky不幸运的；unfriendly不友好的；unhappy不开心的；unbelievable难以置信的；根据“plants keep alive for more than 60 years when being sealed up (被密封) in a glass bottle?

These poets create the very values by which poetry is judged,” said Harvard professor Stephen Owen in Du Fu: China’s Greatest Poet, a BBC documentary (纪录片). Despite the fact that Du Fu is usually mentioned in the same breath as Dante and Shakespeare, he has remained largely unknown in the Western world for long. However, with the screening of the first English-language documentary featuring the poet, the days of Du Fu as China’s best-kept literary secret seem to be numbered. It is written and presented by Michael Wood, a skilled television historian who also directed other China-related documentaries such as The Story of China and The Story of China’s Reform and Opening-Up (2018). From the Yellow River to the Yangtze Gorges, and down to the forested hills of Hunan province, Wood visited a number of places such as the poet’s birthplace Gongyi in Henan province and the Tang Dynasty capital Chang’an, today’s Xi’an. Along the way, he met and talked to ordinary people, dancers and musicians, who helped to tell the fantastic story of the poet. Interviews with famous scholars specializing in Chinese literature also helped present a clearer picture of the poet’s life experiences, literary significance and his friendship with Li Bai, another great Chinese poet. Born in 712, Du Fu lived in the Tang Dynasty, a time marked by extraordinary cultural achievements. However, after a wave of civil unrest (国内骚乱), Du Fu, the former civil servant at the Tang court, was forced to become a porter, and suffered from starvation. Through ups and downs, the poet never stopped writing, pouring out his concern for his country and people as well as celebrating the simple joys of life. “Du’s poetry reflects the country’s historical events mirrored in his own spiritual journey, so he becomes a part of the emotional vocabulary of Chinese culture,” said Stephen Owen, who in 2016 finished the eight-year-long project to translate Du Fu’s 1,400 poems into English. 26．The underlined part in paragraph 2 implies that the documentary will help ________. A．create the values of poetry B．the West to know more about Du Fu C．keep the secrets in Du Fu’s poems D．Du Fu becomes one of the top 3 poets 27．What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about? A．Du Fu’s colorful life experiences. B．Local people’s admiration for Du Fu. C．Famous scholars’ research findings on Du Fu. D．Michael Wood’s effort in making the documentary. 28．Which of the following can best describe Du Fu? A．Inspiring and helpful. B．Tough and responsible. C．Easy-going and careful. D．Generous and hardworking. 29．What is probably the best title for the passage? A．Du Fu’s poetry wins world’s recognition. B．Du Fu’s poems are translated into English. C．BBC documentary reflects Chinese culture. D．BBC documentary presents China’s Shakespeare. 【答案】26．B 27．D 28．B 29．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了BBC纪录片《杜甫：中国最伟大的诗人》及其对西方世界了解杜甫的推动作用，同时展现了杜甫的生平、文学成就及其在中国文化中的情感价值。 26．词句猜测题。根据“the days of Du Fu as China’s best-kept literary secret seem to be numbered”可知，杜甫作为中国文学秘密的日子即将结束，暗示纪录片将帮助西方更多地了解杜甫。故选B。 27．段落大意题。根据“Wood visited a number of places…who helped to tell the fantastic story of the poet”可知，Michael Wood走访多地，与普通人、学者交流，展现了他制作纪录片的努力。故选D。 28．推理判断题。根据“Through ups and downs, the poet never stopped writing, pouring out his concern for his country and people”可知，杜甫在困境中坚持写作，体现其坚韧；对国家人民的关切体现其责任感。故选B。 29．最佳标题题。通读全文可知，本文围绕BBC纪录片介绍杜甫展开，将其与中国文化联系。根据“Du Fu: China’s Greatest Poet”及文中将杜甫与莎士比亚并列的描述可知，标题需突出“中国的莎士比亚”这一核心，D选项“BBC纪录片呈现了中国的莎士比亚”符合题意。故选D。 B So far, scientists have named about 1.8 million living species（物种）, but that is just a small number of what probably lives on Earth. With so many plants, animals, and other living things on the planet, it can be difficult to find out what kind of grass is growing by the roadside or what kind of birds just flew by. A soon-to-be-started website might help. Some scientists set up a web-based Encyclopaedia of Life (EOL). It wants to name every species on Earth and be a good guide for people. To get the encyclopaedia started, the scientists will use information in the scientific databases（数据库）. And finally, non-scientists with specialized（专业的）knowledge will come to help in the site. Bird-watchers, for example, will be able to input what birds they see and where they live. To make sure the encyclopaedia is right, scientists will check much of the information added to it. As the EOL develops, you might find it is useful for schools. The site will make some special pages for kids who are studying ecosystems（生态系统）in their neighborhoods. And the EOL is also helpful for you to choose whatever information you like. It takes years for scientists to collect all the data they need to analyze species now. The scientists of the Encyclopaedia of Life hope the EOL will speed up that process. 30．What does the web-based EOL aim to do? A．To save all the plants. B．To work out the number of birds. C．To find out what covers the Earth. D．To name all the living things on Earth. 31．What is one of the characteristics（特点）of the EOL? A．It is set up by school students. B．It has been open to the public. C．It is about different types of grass and birds. D．It produces different kinds of information about species. 32．What does the underlined part “that process” refer to? A．Collecting data. B．Studying ecosystems. C．Creating a new way. D．Describing and analyzing species. 33．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A．There are 1.8 million living species on earth. B．There are no non-scientists helping in the site. C．EOL is not useful for you to choose information. D．As the EOL develops, students might find it’s useful for them. 【答案】30．D 31．D 32．A 33．D 【导语】本文讲了一些科学家建立了基于网络的生命百科全书，详细地介绍了它的目的和一些信息。 30．细节理解题。根据“It wants to name every species on Earth and be a good guide for people.”可知EOL的目的是为地球上所有的生物命名。故选D。 31．推理判断题。根据“So far, scientists have named about 1.8 million living species, but that is just a small number of what probably lives on Earth. With so many plants, animals, and other living things on the planet, it can be difficult to find out what kind of grass is growing by the roadside or what kind of birds just flew by.”可知地球上有如此多的植物、动物和其他生物，很难知道路边长着什么样的草，或者刚刚飞过的是什么样的鸟，EOL可能会有所帮助，由此推出EOL提供了不同种类的物种信息。故选D。 32．词义猜测题。根据“It takes years for scientists to collect all the data they need to analyze species now. The scientists of the Encyclopaedia of Life hope that EOL will speed up that process.”可知现在，科学家需要数年时间来收集分析物种所需的所有数据。生命百科全书的科学家们希望EOL能加快收集数据这一进程。可推出that process指代“收集数据”。故选A。 33．细节理解题。根据“As the EOL develops, you might find it is useful for schools.”可知随着EOL的发展，学生可能会发现它对他们很有用，D项正确。故选D。 C The Sky Dancer of the Forest Deep in the rainforests of Australia lives one of nature’s most magical creatures—the sugar glider. This tiny animal isn’t a bird, but it flies through the night sky using skin flaps between its legs, making it the most graceful glider in the animal kingdom. Can you imagine seeing a furry squirrel-like creature soaring silently between trees? Scientists have discovered a fascinating connection between sugar gliders and humans. They’re the most efficient seed dispersers for eucalyptus trees—trees that provide the strongest natural medicine humans use against colds. Sadly, these forests are shrinking at the fastest rate in history due to logging. This is why protecting sugar gliders matters. They’re not just cute animals; they’re guardians of the most important forest ecosystem. Without them, eucalyptus seeds wouldn’t travel far, and soon we’d lose the most valuable natural pharmacy on Earth. Last year, I joined a youth project planting “glider highways”—trees connecting isolated forests. Seeing a glider reclaim its path was the proudest moment of my life. Now I understand the true importance of tiny creatures. Sugar gliders teach us that the smallest beings often hold the greatest power to keep nature balanced. After all, aren’t humans and forests the closest partners in survival? 34．What makes sugar gliders unique? A．They produce eucalyptus medicine. B．They can glide between trees. C．They are the largest forest animals. D．They build highways for humans. 35．Why is protecting sugar gliders crucial? A．They cure human diseases directly. B．They maintain vital seed dispersal. C．They prevent forest logging. D．They are the fastest growing species. 36．What does “importance” in paragraph 4 refer to? A．Medical value of eucalyptus trees. B．Role of small creatures in ecosystems. C．Need for youth conservation projects. D．Speed of rainforest destruction. 37．What is the main purpose of “glider highways”? A．To help humans travel through forests. B．To connect fragmented habitats. C．To plant more eucalyptus trees. D．To study animal flight patterns. 【答案】34．B 35．B 36．B 37．B 【导语】本文介绍蜜袋鼯的生态价值，阐述保护该物种对人类和森林的重要性。 34．细节理解题。根据首段“...but it flies through the night sky using skin flaps between its legs, making it the most graceful glider in the animal kingdom.”可知，蜜袋鼯具有独特的滑翔能力，能在树木之间滑翔。故选B。 35．细节理解题。根据第三段“Without them, eucalyptus seeds wouldn’t travel far, and soon we’d lose the most valuable natural pharmacy on Earth.”可知，蜜袋鼯能够传播桉树的种子，故保护核心在于其传播种子的生态功能，故选B。 36．词句猜测题。根据末段“Sugar gliders teach us that the smallest beings often hold the greatest power to keep nature balanced.”可知，此处指的是小生物的生态价值，故选B。 37．细节理解题。根据第三段“Last year, I joined a youth project planting ‘glider highways’—trees connecting isolated forests.”可知，该项目的目的是连接破碎化栖息地，故选B。 D Desert A desert is a large area of land with little water and few plants growing on it. What are deserts like? Deserts can be hot and dry places. Rain may not fall there for months or years. Some deserts are sandy and stony, Deserts can also be very windy places.
