Runners in a relay race pass a stick in one direction. However, merchants passed silk, gold, fruit, and glass along the Silk Road in more than one direction. They earned their living by traveling the famous Silk Road.
The Silk Road was not a simple trading network. It passed through thousands of cities and towns. It was used from about 200 B.C. to about 1300 A.D., when sea travel offered new routes. It was sometimes called the world's longest highway. However, the Silk Road was made up of many routes, not one smooth path. They passed through what are now 18 countries. The routes crossed mountains and deserts and had many dangers of the hot sun, deep snow and even battles. Only experienced traders could return safe and sound.
The Silk Road got its name from its most prized product. Silk could be used like money to pay taxes or buy goods. But the traders carried more than just silk. Gold, silver, and glass from Europe were much found in the Middle East and Asia. Horses traded from other areas changed farming practices in China.
Indian merchants traded salt and other valuable goods. Chinese merchants traded paper, which produced an immediate effect on the West. Apples traveled from Central Asia to Rome. The Chinese had learned to graft(嫁接)different trees together to make new kinds of fruit. They passed this science on to others, including the Romans. The Romans used grafting to grow the apple. Trading along the Silk Road led to worldwide business 2,000 years before the World Wide Web. The people along the Silk Road did not share just goods. They also shared their beliefs. The Silk Road provided pathways for learning, diplomacy, and religion.

5.What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A.Silk was the most prized product.
B.The Silk Road led to worldwide business.
C.People traded many goods along the route.
D.The Silk Road used to be the world's longest highway.

7.What is the best title for the passage?
A.The Silk Road: the East Meets the West
B.The Silk Road: the Past and the Present
C.The Silk Road: Routes Full of Dangers

Tower Bridge is a bascule bridge(竖旋桥) in London, over the Thames. It is close to the Tower of London, which gives it its name. It is sometimes incorrectly referred to as London Bridge, which is the next bridge upstream. It is one of five London bridges now owned and maintained by the Bridge House Estates.
In the second half of the nineteenth century, increased commercial development in the East End of London led to a requirement for a new river crossing downstream of London Bridge. A Special Bridge or Subway Committee was formed in 1876 to find a solution to the river crossing problem. It opened the design of the crossing to public competition. Over 50 designs were received. The judgment of the designs was surrounded by argument, and it wasn't until 1884 that a design sent by Horace Jones was sanctioned.
The construction of the bridge started in 1886 and took about 8 years' hard work of 432 construction workers. Over 70,000 tons of concrete was sunk into the river bed to support the construction. Over 11,000 tons of steel provided the framework for the towers and walkways. Horace Jones died in 1887, and another engineer took over the project. The bridge was opened in 1894.
The bridge sits almost directly above the Tower Subway, the world's first underground tube railway (1870), which, until the bridge was opened, was the shortest way to cross the Thames. A computer system was installed(安装) in 2000 to control the raising and lowering of the bascule. However, this has proved less reliable than expected, resulting in the bridge being stuck in the open or closed position on a number of occasions.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了英国著名的伦敦塔桥。
8.What does Paragraph 1 say about Tower Bridge?
A.It's named after a famous person.
B.It's another name for London Bridge.
C.It's not far from the Tower of London.
D.It's the only bridge over the Thames.
解析:选C 细节理解题。根据文章第一段中的叙述可知,伦敦塔桥是伦敦泰晤士河上的一座桥。伦敦塔桥距离伦敦塔很近,因此得名。它有时被错误地称为“伦敦桥”,而伦敦桥是上游靠近伦敦塔桥的一座桥。故C项正确,同时可排除A、B、D三个选项。
9.Which of the following can best replace the underlined word “sanctioned” in Paragraph 2?
A.Tried. B.Received.
C.Discovered. D.Passed.
解析:选D 词义猜测题。根据文章第二段最后两句可知,委员会总共收到了五十多个设计方案,对这些设计方案的考量持续了好几年,由第三段倒数第二句可知Horace Jones去世前在负责该项目,所以此处表示他提交的设计方案被批准。D选项意为“通过”,两者意思相近。故选D。
10.What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A.The history of Tower Bridge.
B.The building of Tower Bridge.
C.The influence of Tower Bridge.
D.The importance of Tower Bridge.
解析:选B 主旨大意题。通读文章第三段内容可知,本段主要介绍了建造伦敦塔桥的相关信息。故选B。
11.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A.Many breakdowns have happened to Tower Bridge.
B.The computer system works better than expected.
C.The underground tube railway has a history of less than 20 years.
D.The Tower Subway is the shortest way to cross the Thames.
解析:选A 细节理解题。根据文章末段末句“However, this has proved less reliable than expected, resulting in the bridge being stuck in the open or closed position on a number of occasions.”可知,伦敦塔桥发生过很多次故障。故选A。
D
Named “America's Finest City” due to its hospitality, beauty and ideal climate, San Diego is located on the border with Mexico. The residents are so active outdoors that it is called “Sportstown, the U.S.A.”. San Diego's 70 miles of beaches are a heaven for swimmers, surfers, divers, boaters and sunbathers. Another favourite outside activity is golf. With 100 courses (about 50 of them public), San Diego is a golfer's paradise.
Many San Diego residents came here first as tourists who were attracted by San Diego's sunny beaches, nearby mountains and deserts, plus the cultural delights of any big city. The worldfamous San Diego Zoo, Sea World, Wild Animal Park, museums, concerts and other attractions bring visitors from around the world.
The zoo is home to some 4,000 animals, including the world's largest collection of parrots. Animals are displayed in natural settings, and there is a petting zoo for children. By contrast, the Wild Animal Park is a wildlife preserve with an area of over 2,000 acres and more than 3,000 freeroaming(自由漫步) animals in natural habitats.
In addition to housing the zoo, Balboa Park is home to several museums and attractions, including an aerospace museum, an art and history museum, the Old Globe Theatre, science museums and even a railroad museum. Free concerts are offered frequently. Another popular attraction is the Sea World, a 150acre marine park.
San Diego's varied attractions, as well as its business climate, offer many opportunities for students to explore the local culture, meet people from around the world, and gain business experience. At San Diego State University, for example, students in the American Language Institute's study tour program learn English both in the classroom and while sightseeing.

第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Every year, groups of tourists travel to central US states like Oklahoma, Texas and Nebraska for their summer vacation. __16__ They're going to chase storms.
Once an activity only for scientists and adventurous types, storm chasing has now become an increasingly popular pastime for people from all over the world. __17__ Storm chasers analyze weather reports and maps to locate an incoming storm before driving hundreds of miles toward it to witness a tornado in action.
The people going on these tours vary from curious firsttime chasers looking for something different to storm chasing“addicts” like Nicholas Lee, a weather forecaster from the UK. __18__ Now he saves up his vacation days to go storm chasing for three weeks every summer in the center of the US. It is the place well known for producing massive storms.
__19__ Since then the activity has continued to grow in popularity. Considering the potential dangers it possesses, it is obviously not for everybody. And yet, more and more people are coming out doing the stormchasing tours.
The real dangers of storm chasing are not just being swept up by a tornado. When a large tornado is predicted for the day, a number of storm chasers will drive to that highrisk area, causing serious traffic jams, which makes it harder to access the perfect spot to witness a tornado. The escape routes will be too congested(拥挤的)as well. __20__ Take the tornado that touched down near El Reno, Oklahoma in 2013, for example. More than 150 people were injured, and 20 killed in it, including Tim Samaras, an experienced storm chaser plus his son and another partner.
Despite the increasing interest in storm chasing, it is still a very nonmainstream hobby.
A.Sometimes it can be lifethreatening.
B.He went on his first stormchasing tour in 2015.
C.But these people are not looking for sunshine or sightseeing.
D.He cannot wait to see that happening at any time soon.
E.Storm chasing was first popularized by the 1996 film Twister.
F.It means going to “high risk areas” where severe weather occurs.
G.How did potentially deadly weather become a popular tourist attraction?
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了追逐风暴这一活动,现在它已经成为一种越来越流行的消遣方式。文章介绍了这一活动开始流行的时间以及参与活动者所面临的危险等。
16.解析:选C 考查过渡句。根据空后句“They're going to chase storms.”可知,他们进行的是追逐风暴的活动。C选项“但这些人并不是在寻找阳光或观光”在此处与上下文逻辑关系吻合,故选C。
17.解析:选F 考查细节句。根据空后句可知,风暴追踪者通过分析天气报告和地图来确定即将到来的风暴的位置,然后驱车数百英里去看龙卷风。由此可知,追逐风暴意味着要去会有恶劣天气的高风险地区。故F选项“这意味着要去‘高风险地区’,那里会有恶劣的天气状况”与下文衔接紧密,故选F。
18.解析:选B 考查细节句。根据空前句可知,追逐风暴的人各不相同,从好奇的第一次追求新鲜感的追逐者,到追逐风暴的“瘾君子”,如Nicholas Lee,来自英国的天气预报员。B选项“2015年,他开始了他的第一次追逐风暴之旅”恰好与空后句中的Now体现的他现在的情况对应。“He”指代上文的“Nicholas Lee”。
19.解析:选E 考查主旨句。根据空后句可知,从那时起,这项活动越来越受欢迎。E选项中的“1996”即空后的“then”。且E项中的“was first popularized” 与后文的“has continued to grow in popularity”照应。故选E。
20.解析:选A 考查过渡句。结合空后句可知,以2013年侵袭俄克拉何马州埃尔里诺附近的龙卷风为例,事故造成150多人受伤,20人死亡,其中包括经验丰富的风暴追逐者Tim Samaras,以及他的儿子和另一名搭档。由此可知,追逐风暴可能会有生命危险。故A选项“有时它可能会危及生命”符合下文对上文的例证关系,故选A。
第二部分 语言运用(共两节,满分30分)
第一节(共15小题;每小题1分,满分15分)
阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
Sitting back in my seat, I can't quite believe that I'm about to travel along the railway that many foreign experts __21__ was “impossible”. The train has been racing along steadily since it left Xining. All this time, the song “Sky Railway” has been playing inside my head. The words “railways like massive dragons are __22__ among the mountains” seem particularly vivid as I travel across the “roof of the world”.
I was one of the people who came from all parts of China to work on this railway. Taking years to complete, the QinghaiTibet Railway is a record of all of our efforts to __23__ the most difficult engineering challenges. How to protect the __24__ ecosystem was among the top __25__.
The first landmark to catch my eye is the splendid Qingshuihe Bridge, the world's longest bridge built over permafrost. Look! A group of Tibetan antelopes is moving under the bridge, with some stopping to eat grass __26__ their leisure. Thirtythree passages have been built under the railway to allow the animals to move safely and freely in their natural __27__. Wild animals such as these Tibetan antelopes have now been using these passages for years. They seem totally __28__ that we are speeding past at over 100 kilometres an hour.
To prevent damage to wetlands and grasslands, 675 bridges with a total length of about 160 kilometres were built between Golmud and Lhasa. We even moved 140,000 square metres of wetland to a new area in order to protect its __29__ ecosystem.
The journey has been flying by, and __30__ I know it, we have reached Tanggula Station. __31__ at over 5,000 metres above sea level, this is the highest railway station in the world. In locations such as this, the thin air, changeable weather and high levels of UV radiation presented perhaps the greatest challenge for railway workers. To make sure we stayed healthy, several oxygenmaking stations were __32__. We were also able to enjoy regular breaks in lower areas.
As we pass Cuona Lake, I feel a sense of __33__ and achievement. Using thousands and thousands of sandbags, we built a twentykilometre wall along the lake to protect it from construction waste. Cuona Lake is so close to the railway that I want to reach out and touch its pale blue mirrorlike surface. Water birds playing in the lake, and cattle and sheep wandering the grasslands bring the scenery to life.
The QinghaiTibet Plateau has been attracting people's __34__ for centuries. Now, __35__ our efforts, passengers from all over the country have been enjoying these magical landscapes. I am proud that we built our “impossible” railway, and did so with the care that the environment deserves. It truly is an extraordinary “Sky Railway”.

第二节(共10小题;每小题1.5分,满分15分)
阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Nobody wants to be aged, but 36._____ it comes to visiting cities, most of us want to visit the world's oldest cities. Luoyang is one of the oldest and most 37.______(attract) cities in the world that I'd like to recommend to you.

【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文,介绍了古都洛阳。洛阳拥有悠久的历史和诸多名胜古迹。对游客来说,洛阳是一个值得一游的城市。
36.when 考查固定结构。句意:没有人想变老,但是当说到参观城市时,我们大多数人想参观世界上最古老的城市。when it comes to...为固定结构,意为“当提到……时”。故填when。
37.attractive 考查形容词。句意:洛阳是我想向你推荐的世界上最古老、最吸引人的城市之一。设空处在句中作定语修饰 cities,故用形容词 attractive。
38.as 考查介词。句意:洛阳作为亚洲最古老的持续有人居住的城市而出色。as在句中意为“作为”。 stand out as...作为……而出色。
39.the 考查冠词。句意:这座城市被认为是中国文化和历史的发祥地,也是中国四大古都之一。此处用定冠词,特指中国文化和历史的发源地。
40.is 考查时态及主谓一致。句意:在中国,没有其他哪个城市像洛阳这样经历过如此多的朝代。文中客观介绍了洛阳的相关事实,应用一般现在时。主句为There be句型,主句主语为no other city,所以be动词用第三人称单数形式。
41.dynasties 考查名词复数。句意同上。根据空前的many可知此处用dynasty的复数形式。
42.to offer 考查动词不定式。句意:有着如此悠久且令人激动的历史,洛阳真的有很多东西可以提供。have意为“有”时,它的宾语后面接不定式的主动形式,表示被动意义。
43.have been included 考查时态、语态和主谓一致。句意:自2000年以来,龙门石窟就已经被列入世界遗产名录了,它和许多有历史意义的佛寺不断吸引着来自世界各地的游客。根据从句中的时间状语since 2000可知,设空处用现在完成时,且which引导的非限制性定语从句修饰的先行词是The Longmen Grottoes,是复数形式,与 include之间是被动关系,故填have been included。
44.constantly 考查副词。句意同上。设空处修饰动词 attract,故用副词constantly。
45.built 考查过去分词。句意:洛阳还因白马寺而闻名,这是中国最早建造的佛寺。the earliest Buddhist temple与 build在逻辑上是被动关系,所以用过去分词作后置定语。

In July 2019,to celebrate his 45th birthday, Colin Dowler booked off a week from his job as a maintenance manager for the Vancouver Island Health Authority. He planned to spend two days on his own, finding a route he would eventually use to climb Mount Doggie Dowler.
His wife Jenifer didn't like the sound of her husband's latest plan. She was used to Dowler going on adventures by himself, but this time he'd boat to an unknown bay, bike an unpopulated road, hike through grizzly bear country, and camp overnights alone. There was too much room for disaster.
The night before his journey Colin packed the necessities. He filled the remaining pockets of his bag with a handheld GPS, hiking poles, his homemade sausage, and a few other essentials. Instead of his usual Swiss Army knife, he took a threeinch stainless steel pocket knife given to him by his dad.
The weather that Sunday, July 28 was nice. Colin pulled his car into the Campbell River port and quickly launched and set off in his motorboat with a mountain bike on board. About eight o'clock in the morning, he arrived at Ramsay Arm, and found a spot to tie the boat near a logging(伐木)camp where he chatted with some logging workers.
One of the workers, Vito, gave him a ride in his truck until the forest got too thick. Colin took off his bike and backpack from the truck and started his hiking and route searching. In order not to lose the way back, he marked his trail with blue ribbons (布条).
As he made his sevenkilometer marker, he came around a bend and suddenly put on the brakes—a dirty grizzly bear stood right in the middle of the narrow road, 30 meters away. Colin calculated his chances of turning around for a quick escape, but the bear could easily catch up and stop him before he picked up speed.
Paragraph 1:
The bear suddenly stood up in a threatening way.

Paragraph 1:
The bear suddenly stood up in a threatening way. Meanwhile, Colin threw the sausages in his backpack towards the bear, hoping the flavor would attract it. Unfortunately, the bear rushed to him. Colin was pushed to the ground and bit in the left leg. “Ah!” he screamed with the unbearable pain. Blood flowing out, Colin suddenly remembered the knife in his pocket. He stabbed the bear's neck as fast and strong as possible. The bear roared with pain and ran away. Losing much blood, Colin lost his consciousness afterwards.
Paragraph 2:
After what seemed like hours, Colin came to himself. He found himself surrounded by the logging workers in the camp. He was being cared for by a doctor. It was Vito who saved Colin. When he drove back, he spotted the bleeding bear and sensed that something terrible must have happened. With the blue ribbons leading his way, he finally found Colin. “You are so lucky, Colin. Without being noticed, you could have been killed for loss of blood. God help those who help themselves.” said the doctor.
