Sailing in unknown seas, Columbus made humans know about the knowledge of crossing the Atlantic and the Americas. Vasco da Gama (1469 — 1524)Vasco da Gama was a Portuguese explorer who was the first European to reach India by sea. Da Gama made a direct voyage to India — travelling around the Cape of Good Hope in South Africa — arriving in Calicut in 1498, which connected Europe and Asia for the first time by ocean route.

His name was Marco Polo. Marco Polo grew up in the city of Venice, in present-day Italy. In 1271, when he was 17 years old, he set off on a journey to Asia with his father and uncle, and did not return home until 24 years later. His travels took him across Asia, along the Silk Road and throughout China. He loved Hangzhou so much that he described it as “the finest city in the world”. When Polo finally returned to Venice, there was a war and he was captured. While he was in prison, he told the stories of his travels to another man there. This man wrote the stories down in a book called The Travels of Marco Polo. Because of the interesting descriptions of Asian life in the book, Polo’s travels soon became well known in Europe. The stories gave many Europeans their first look at the life and culture of the people in Asia. Polo told of many amazing things that were unknown to Europe, such as paper money. He also wrote about China’s development, with its large cities and systems of communication. His book made Europeans more and more interested in the East. It also influenced many other explorers, including Christopher Columbus. Polo died in 1324. His last words were: “I did not tell half of what I saw.” 31．When did Marco Polo begin his journey to Asia? A．When he was 15. B．In 1271 at the age of 17. C．After returning to Venice. D．In 1324. 32．How did Marco Polo describe Hangzhou in the text? A．“A dangerous city.” B．“The finest city in the world.” C．”A small village.” D．“A boring place.” 33．What was the main impact of Marco Polo’s book The Travels of Marco Polo on Europe?

D．It taught Europeans how to use paper money. 34．Which of the following was mentioned in Polo’s book as a development in China? A．Airplanes. B．Paper money. C．Electric cars. D．Modern computers. 35．What did Marco Polo mean by his last words, “I did not tell half of what I saw”? A．He regretted traveling to Asia. B．His stories were completely fictional. C．He could not remember his experiences. D．His book only covered part of his discoveries. C I moved to China from the UK in 2015. And a decade later I continue to live here. This leads me to think over the benefits that life in China offers and the differences between life in the West and China. For westerners who are used to enjoying a light bowl of grains, nuts and dried fruit with milk for breakfast, the challenge in China is not how to find breakfast, it is how not to overeat. You can easily find a stuffed steamed bun or a hot youtiao (like a churro) on any street in the morning. One way to meet my desire for cookies, muffins and apple pies in China would be to bake them at home. While this may sound very sensible (合理的), it raises another curious difference between our cultures — the mysterious case of the missing ovens. In the West, it would be simply unthinkable to have a kitchen without an oven. In China, I hardly see one in locals’ homes. China is also a land with familiar surprises. Chinese people really know how to make you feel at home if you have been long away from your home country. On each birthday, I will be welcomed with a large cake in my office. It is beautiful and specially designed at a very affordable price. While Western birthday cakes typically contain rich chocolate, Chinese ones are topped with many layers (层) of cream and taste light. However, even after 10 years of living in China, I still don’t understand why I receive free plastic gloves whenever I order a pizza, burger or French fries in a restaurant, but still have to pay for an extra package of napkin. Well, it seems that there is always much more for me to learn and experience here. 36．Why is breakfast a challenge for some westerners in China? A．Because they don’t like the taste. B．Because they can’t find breakfast. C．Because there are no western meals. D．Because there are many delicious specials. 37．What does the writer say about the mysterious case? A．Chinese people hardly cook with an oven. B．Chinese ovens are similar to Western ones. C．He can’t find the ovens in Western kitchens. D．He can easily find the ovens in locals’ kitchens. 38．What does the underlined phrase “make you feel at home” mean in the passage? A．Offer places to live. B．Treat you like family. C．Help you return home. D．Order your birthday cakes. 39．Why does the writer share his birthday experience? A．To praise special cake designs. B．To show warm office conditions. C．To show Chinese people’s kindness. D．To introduce affordable birthday cakes. 40．What can be inferred about the writer from the last paragraph? A．He will continue to live in China. B．He will not order pizza anymore. C．He will never go to that restaurant. D．He will learn more about Chinese food. 四、阅读还原（本大题共5小题，每小题1分，满分5分） 阅读短文，根据短文内容，将下面的句子还原到文章中，使短文内容完整。每个选项仅使用一次，有一个多余选项。请将答案标号涂卡。 China is a great country with more than 5,000 years of history. 41 They attract millions of tourists from all over the world every year.

While this may sound very sensible (合理的), it raises another curious difference between our cultures — the mysterious case of the missing ovens. In the West, it would be simply unthinkable to have a kitchen without an oven. In China, I hardly see one in locals’ homes. China is also a land with familiar surprises. Chinese people really know how to make you feel at home if you have been long away from your home country. On each birthday, I will be welcomed with a large cake in my office. It is beautiful and specially designed at a very affordable price. While Western birthday cakes typically contain rich chocolate, Chinese ones are topped with many layers (层) of cream and taste light. However, even after 10 years of living in China, I still don’t understand why I receive free plastic gloves whenever I order a pizza, burger or French fries in a restaurant, but still have to pay for an extra package of napkin. Well, it seems that there is always much more for me to learn and experience here. 36．Why is breakfast a challenge for some westerners in China? A．Because they don’t like the taste. B．Because they can’t find breakfast. C．Because there are no western meals. D．Because there are many delicious specials. 37．What does the writer say about the mysterious case? A．Chinese people hardly cook with an oven. B．Chinese ovens are similar to Western ones. C．He can’t find the ovens in Western kitchens. D．He can easily find the ovens in locals’ kitchens. 38．What does the underlined phrase “make you feel at home” mean in the passage? A．Offer places to live. B．Treat you like family. C．Help you return home. D．Order your birthday cakes. 39．Why does the writer share his birthday experience? A．To praise special cake designs. B．To show warm office conditions. C．To show Chinese people’s kindness. D．To introduce affordable birthday cakes. 40．What can be inferred about the writer from the last paragraph? A．He will continue to live in China. B．He will not order pizza anymore. C．He will never go to that restaurant. D．He will learn more about Chinese food. 四、阅读还原（本大题共5小题，每小题1分，满分5分） 阅读短文，根据短文内容，将下面的句子还原到文章中，使短文内容完整。每个选项仅使用一次，有一个多余选项。请将答案标号涂卡。 China is a great country with more than 5,000 years of history. 41 They attract millions of tourists from all over the world every year.

His name was Marco Polo. Marco Polo grew up in the city of Venice, in present-day Italy. In 1271, when he was 17 years old, he set off on a journey to Asia with his father and uncle, and did not return home until 24 years later. His travels took him across Asia, along the Silk Road and throughout China. He loved Hangzhou so much that he described it as “the finest city in the world”. When Polo finally returned to Venice, there was a war and he was captured. While he was in prison, he told the stories of his travels to another man there. This man wrote the stories down in a book called The Travels of Marco Polo. Because of the interesting descriptions of Asian life in the book, Polo’s travels soon became well known in Europe. The stories gave many Europeans their first look at the life and culture of the people in Asia. Polo told of many amazing things that were unknown to Europe, such as paper money. He also wrote about China’s development, with its large cities and systems of communication. His book made Europeans more and more interested in the East.

And a decade later I continue to live here. This leads me to think over the benefits that life in China offers and the differences between life in the West and China. For westerners who are used to enjoying a light bowl of grains, nuts and dried fruit with milk for breakfast, the challenge in China is not how to find breakfast, it is how not to overeat. You can easily find a stuffed steamed bun or a hot youtiao (like a churro) on any street in the morning. One way to meet my desire for cookies, muffins and apple pies in China would be to bake them at home. While this may sound very sensible (合理的), it raises another curious difference between our cultures — the mysterious case of the missing ovens. In the West, it would be simply unthinkable to have a kitchen without an oven. In China, I hardly see one in locals’ homes. China is also a land with familiar surprises. Chinese people really know how to make you feel at home if you have been long away from your home country. On each birthday, I will be welcomed with a large cake in my office. It is beautiful and specially designed at a very affordable price. While Western birthday cakes typically contain rich chocolate, Chinese ones are topped with many layers (层) of cream and taste light. However, even after 10 years of living in China, I still don’t understand why I receive free plastic gloves whenever I order a pizza, burger or French fries in a restaurant, but still have to pay for an extra package of napkin. Well, it seems that there is always much more for me to learn and experience here. 36．Why is breakfast a challenge for some westerners in China? A．Because they don’t like the taste. B．Because they can’t find breakfast. C．Because there are no western meals. D．Because there are many delicious specials. 37．What does the writer say about the mysterious case? A．Chinese people hardly cook with an oven. B．Chinese ovens are similar to Western ones. C．He can’t find the ovens in Western kitchens. D．He can easily find the ovens in locals’ kitchens. 38．What does the underlined phrase “make you feel at home” mean in the passage? A．Offer places to live. B．Treat you like family. C．Help you return home. D．Order your birthday cakes. 39．Why does the writer share his birthday experience? A．To praise special cake designs. B．To show warm office conditions. C．To show Chinese people’s kindness. D．To introduce affordable birthday cakes. 40．What can be inferred about the writer from the last paragraph? A．He will continue to live in China.
