Cappadocia,Turkey Designated a World Heritage Site in 1985,Cappadocia is a place of flowing rock formations and stone-capped chimneys ()Consider taking one of the many hiking trails to get up close.Nearby, in the village of Uchisar are the ancient cave homes built by the people of the Bronze Age. Borobuaur,Indonesia Borobudur is one of Indonesia's most famous landmarks,included in the list of World Heritage Sites in 1991.Located on the island of Java,this massive temple complex was constructed in the 700s, but two to three hundred years later,it was abandoned,possibly due to volcanic eruptions in the area, and went relatively undisturbed for centuries.The site was uncovered in the 1800s and later restored. Mesa Verde,U.S.A. Mesa Verde is home to some of the most well-preserved Indian ruins in North America.It has been on the list of World Heritage Sites since 1978.The most impressive sites are the cliff dwellings ()where the Ancestral Puebloans lived between the 12th century and the late 13th century.You can drive up to the top of the mesa to see pit houses and other ruins. Petra,Jordan Inscribed（(在..上写)into the list of World Heritage Sites in 1985,this ancient capital city of the Nabataeans is a stone city with dwellings carved into sandstone walls.It has roots that trace back to as early as the 4th or 5th century B.C.Discovered in the early 1800s,it has been referred to as"the rose city"for the color of the rock.Situated m a mountainous area with limited access,it held a strategic position on the trade route in the region.Today,Petra is the most important tourist attraction in Jordan. 26.Which of the following appeared on the list of World Heritage Sites first?

Alex was really worried and decided to make it next project for WIN-the Westerly Innovations Network.Alex and six of his friends had formed this organization to help solve community problems two years before. But what could they do about this project with e-waste?The team spent several weeks gathering information about the harmful chemicals in e-waste and their effects on humans.They learned how to dispose (of e-waste properly and how it could be recycled.Then,they sent out a survey and found only one in eight knew what e-waste was,let alone how to properly dispose of it. Alex and his friends went into action.They advertised in the local newspaper and distributed notices to students,asking residents to bring their unwanted electronics to the scnool parking lot.The drive lasted two aays,and they collected over 9,500 kilograms of e-waste. The next step was to set up a long-term e-waste drop-off center for the town.After some research, they'd learned that reusing is the best way to deal with electronic devices and it is seven times more efficient than recycling.So,they began learning to refurbish (computers themselves and distributed them to students who didn't have their own.In this way,they could help students in the area and protect the environment at the same time. For a lasting solution to e-waste,the drop-off center wasn't enough.Laws would have to be passed.In 2016,WIN helped pusb fer an e-waste bill in their town,which required companies that manufactured or sold electronics to take back e-waste.The bill clearly forbids the dumping ofe-waste. Because of the work of WIN,more and more people,like Alex and his team,are getting the message about safe disposal of e-waste.As Alex says,"Today's technology should not become tomorrow's harmful garbage." 29.What was Alex's worry after he read the-article? A.The recycling of plastic B.The littering of e-waste. C.The change of environment. D.The overuse of old computers. 30.What did Alex do to start the project? A.Set up WIN. B.Carry out a survey. C.Collect information. D.Ask friends for help 31.Which can best describe the way Alex and his team did their work? A.Ttaditional. B.Independent. C.Theoretical. D.Scientific. 32.What can we learn from this passage? A.Young people can make a big difference. B.There is no end to perfection. C.Success comes through failure. D.Every positive attitude has a reward. 第4页（共8页） C London-based startup Brilliant Planet has rented 6,100 hectares of land in southern Moroceo, situated between the Atlantic Ocean and the Sahara.And it's using it to grow algae )which absorbs atmospheric carbon dioxide and sends out oxygen. Brilliant Planet's CEO Adam Taylor says the company has developed a way to grow algae at extreme rates starting in a glass cup in a lab and ending in 12,000-square-meter pools of locally- sourced seawater.The algae is obtained from the water then pumped up a 10-story tower and sprayed into the desert air.In the 30 seconds or so it takes to reach the ground,hot air dries the biomass( 质)out,leaving hypersaline(超盐的)algae pieces which can be collected and shallow buried, sequestering（使隔s绝)their carbon for-thausands of years.. "Nature-based solutions are a great way of removg eerbon."Taylor said."Deserts are an underused environment.It does not cost a lot of money to rent the desert.What's more,you're not competing with farms or forests.You're out of the way,not bothering people." Taylor claims that Brilliant Planet's solution can permanently remove 30 times more carbon dioxide from the atmosphere per hectare per year than a typical European forest.Brilliant Planet's goal is to remove one million metric tons of carbon dioxide per year by the end of the decade." Globally,we've identified about half a million square kilometers of flat desert-ocean land where it works,"Taylor said,adding that the company hopes to set up in Namibia next. Fatna Ikrame El Fanne,an environmental engineer,described the use of algae as "a new and promising strategy"that"is a typical example of innovative use of natural process to address an urgent global issuc."Nevertheless,she expressed caution."Microalgae production on a large scale might damage local ecosystems,lead to overuse of water resources,and change habitats,she said. There's an acknowledgement that one company can't do it all and can't go it alone."We are part of a group of probably 40 to 50 wonderful ideas of how people can remove carbon from the atmosphere,"Taylor said,calling for"a Manhattan Project-type attitude"to tackling carbon capture. Whether algae is the solution the world needs remains to be seen.But the idea's growing on people. 33.What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about Brilliant Planet? A.Its establishment of an algae plant. B.Its process of carbon capture. C.Its method of growing algae. D.Its daily routine in the desert. 34.What advantage did Taylor highlight about using deserts for carbon removal A.Huge profits. B.No occupation of rich land. C.High temperature. D.No biodiversity concerns. 35.What can be inferred about the use of algae from El Fanne's words? A.It is not worth promoting. B.It is highly efficient. C.It needs improving. D.It is commercially developed. 36.Why is "a Manhattan Project-type attitude"mentioned in the last paragraph? A.To emphasize the necessity of joint efforts B.To highlight the challenges of carbon removal. C.To recognizc the contributions of Brilliant Planet. D.To prove the effectiveness of nature-based solutions. 第5页（共8页） D Humans have long gained pleasure from the smells of the natural world.For the most part, though,human beings are not their target market.For plants,fragrances (are a way to interact with insects and other animals.Their attraction for people happens simply by chance. In chemical terms,most natural fragrances are made up of volatiles(挥发物)，which change into gas easily and enter our noses.In plants'reproductive (processes,smelly volatiles attract pollinators(授粉昆虫).But their natural applications are much more varied.If an insect chews through the leaves of some Bursera plants,out shoots a sticky,smelly liquid to trap it.Coyote tobacco plants are even more crafty:upon sensing the smell of hungry insects,they produce volatiles that attract enemies to kill the pests. What is truly amazing is just how wise plants can be in using their fragrances for reproduction. White flowers often send out their fragrance at night to attract insects active at night such as moths. They produce a dilute nectar(稀释的花蜜)that encourages moths to keep moving,rather than stay at a single flower-all the better to increase pollination.Other flowers change their fragrance after being successfully pollinated,as a signal for insects to go clsewhere. But though"Fragrance"is a story of plants'cleverness,it is also a tale of the human kind.People have long used fragrances for their own purposes,particularly for use in religious ceremonies: perfume recipes on the walls of an Egyptian temple demonstrate just how long ingredients have been mixed in pursuit of the best blend.So highly prized were some fragrances that,to scare off competitors, Arab traders spread a story about giant eagles that guarded cinnamon(桂皮香料)， Eventually scientists no longer needed natural sources for fragrances.In 1866 a fragrance molecule was produced for the first time.Sixteen years later,Houbigant Parfum released Fougere Royale,the first"modern fantasy perfume"that creates an imaginary fragrance rather than copying a natural one.Nowadays fragrance-making is dominated by man-made substance,which can be reliably and affordably produced in large quantities. That has led to the mass production of smelly products,from toilet paper to toothpaste.Fragrance is accordingly big business.It is said that a world-famous fragrance and flavour manufacturer that claims people interact with its products up to 30 times a day,had sales of e3.8bn last year. 37.What can we learn from the passage? A.Humans do not use fragrances as purposefully as plants do. B.Natural sources for fragrances will be out of date in the future. C.Man-made fragrances have to be produced by copying natural ones. D.Plants use fragrances to both attract and send away pollinators 38.What does the underlined word "prized"in Paragraph 4 most probably mean? A.Developed. B.Rewarded. S.Valued. D.Mixed. 39.Which of the following would be the best tidle for the passage? A.Plants Smell,Insects Hunt B.Fragrance Connects Human Nature C.Fragrance:To Make or Not to Make D.Smartness behind Fragrance 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项 涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 第6页（共8页） Psychologists have long been interested in what sets successful people apart from the rest of us.

Overindulgence can create a scrics of wrong attitudes and behaviors in children.When overindulged,children develop unrealistic expectations which do not serve them as they grow. Healthy parenting,Webb said,means giving children unconditional love,quality time,healthy 第7页（共8页） discipline and respect for what is appropriate."Healthy parents promote good values and use everyday life experiences to teach their children,"she said. Many parents don't intentionally overindulge,but fail to follow through on consequences. "Consequences help children develop their own self-guidance skills,"Webb said."Without consequences,children never learn to discipline themselves." But parents who have overindulged shouldn't just throw up their hands and walk away from the situation,feeling like failures.There are steps that can be taken to turn family life around."All is not lost,"Webb said."You just have to take it step by step."Identifying problems and what can be done to correct them are the first steps.This is where parents mignt want to invest in some counseling or parent coaching and refer to some parenting books. Such parents should also manage to regain proper parental power.In some families, overindulgent parents are acting like peers,not parents.Consistency is also important-children often imitate the behavior they see from their parents."Say what you mean and mean what you say,"Webb said.It seems that all it takes is one raised eyebrow and a very serious look to stop the misbehaviour. But Webb believes what really grounded her children is their inclusion in the family's life,not just the fun stuff like vacations and outings.They should also be taught to clean house,cook,and do laundry. 45.What do overindulgent parents believe? 46.What is healthy parenting according to Webb? 47.Please decide which part is false in the following statement,then underline it and explain why. To relieve overindulgence,parents can take certain steps such as acting like kids'peers and ensuring consistency. 48.Share one parenting method that benefits your growth and explain why.(In about 40 words) 第二节(15分) 假设你是红星中学高二学生李华。近期，你校学生会组织了一场辩论赛，主题为"中学生 是否可以借助网络资源完成作业”。你的英国笔友Jim从学校网站看到了相关信息，对此很感 兴趣，来信询问辩论赛的开展情况。请你用英文给他回复邮件，内容包括： 1.正反双方的观点及理由； 2.你的看法。 注意：1.词数100左右； 2.开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 Dear Jim, How's everything going?
