It lies in the north of Hebei Province. Saihanba means “beautiful and high mountains”． Around the 10th century, the rulers of the Liao Dynasty made it a royal (皇家的) hunting place because it was home to beautiful forests, green grasslands, clear lakes and different kinds of wild animals. Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty liked Saihanba so much that he made hunting there a royal festival. The royal festival finally stopped in the 19th century for lack of money and the place had to be open to the public. After that, the cutting down of trees and wildfires changed green Saihanba into grey deserts. By the 1950s, the beauty of Saihanba had completely disappeared (消失) with only one tree left. The tree is now famous as the “Tree of Honour”． On seeing the tree, Chinese scientists made up their minds and dreamed of restoring Saihanba. In February 1962, the plans were made and more than 120 foresters joined 242 local people in Saihanba to begin rebuilding it. Over the next 55 years, those first tree­planters fought against many difficulties to plant trees. After they died, their children and relatives followed them and went on with their hard work of planting trees. Today, the scientists’ dream has come true and there is beautiful grassland and flowers again around the “Tree of Honour”. Chinese people successfully changed Saihanba in the past half­century. 33．What’s the right order of the events in Paragraph 2? ①Saihanba became a royal hunting place. ②Saihanba was a desert and its beauty disappeared. ③Saihanba wasn’t closed to the public any more. ④Saihanba turned into the place for royal hunting festivals. A．①③②④ B．①③④② C．①④③② D．①④②③ 34．What does the underlined word “restoring” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A．Looking around. B．Bringing back. C．Arriving at. D．Travelling to. 35．According to Paragraph 4, how does the writer feel about Chinese people? A．Proud. B．Worried. C．Surprised. D．Nervous. 36．What is the best title of this passage? A．Saihanba: Past and Present B．The Largest Forest in China C．The Disappearing Saihanba D．The “Tree of Honour” in Saihanba 【答案】33．C 34．B 35．A 36．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，介绍了塞罕坝从辽代皇家猎场到生态遭破坏，再到几代人历经55年植树造林、成功恢复美丽森林的变迁历程，展现了中国人重建生态的决心与成就。 33．细节理解题。根据“Around the 10th century, the rulers of the Liao Dynasty made it a royal hunting place”“Emperor Kangxi…made hunting there a royal festival”“The royal festival finally stopped…the place had to be open to the public”“By the 1950s, the beauty of Saihanba had completely disappeared”可知，事件顺序为①成为皇家猎场→④成为皇家狩猎节举办地→③对公众开放→②变成荒漠、美景消失，故选C。 34．词句猜测题。根据前文“the beauty of Saihanba had completely disappeared”和后文“begin rebuilding it”可知，科学家看到仅剩的树后，决心重建塞罕坝，让它恢复原貌，“restoring”意为“恢复”，与“Bringing back”同义，故选B.。 35．观点态度题。根据“Today, the scientists’ dream has come true”“Chinese people successfully changed Saihanba in the past half­century”中的“successfully”可知，作者对中国人改造塞罕坝的成就持自豪的态度，故选A。 36．最佳标题题。全文以时间为线，依次介绍了塞罕坝过去的皇家猎场风貌、沦为荒漠的过程，以及如今恢复秀美风光的现状，核心围绕塞罕坝的过去和现在展开，故选A。 D Flying has completely changed the way we travel around the world. It’s usually the fastest and most convenient way to go on long trips. But here’s a problem: it’s one of the activities that produce the most carbon for an ordinary person. Years ago, a small group of famous people in Sweden, driven by environmental worries, started the“flight shame”movement. They wanted to encourage people to give up flying. But for those who need to travel or love travelling, what other green ways are there? For medium to long trips, trains seem to be the best choice. According to a report, taking a train instead of a domestic (国内的) flight can cut down carbon emissions (碳排放) by 86%. However, there are some problems. Trains can be more expensive than cheap flights, especially during busy travel seasons. Also, it may take many more hours to get to your place, and most people don’t want to spend a lot of their travel time just on the way. That’s why sleeper trains are a great idea. The networks of sleeper trains in Europe are getting bigger, with new railways being added regularly. This means passengers can sleep during the trip and wake up in a new city or country! For short trips, many people are willing to ride bikes instead of driving cars. But few would think of cycling to another country. Matilda Welin is one of the few. It took her 17 days to ride a bike from London to Sweden. Sadly, she found that her trip neither benefited the planet nor saved her money. But it did change how she saw things. She said,“When I was travelling, I really felt the distance of the journey that I usually take so easily by plane.”She described how the world around her changed slowly, like the languages, the buildings, and the view—things she couldn’t enjoy on a flight. Unfortunately for the planet, air travel remains a popular choice. About 100,000 planes take off around the world every day. But if we spend more money on building better train systems and make train tickets cheaper, more people might choose trains over planes, which could greatly reduce carbon emissions. 37．How does the writer introduce the greener choices compared with flying in Paragraph 1? A．By giving facts. B．By asking a question. C．By listing numbers. D．By giving an example. 38．What challenges do trains face compared to flights? A．Trains are always faster but more expensive than flights. B．Trains are often cheaper but take much longer time than flights. C．Trains are more expensive than cheap flights and take more hours. D．Trains are used for short-distance trips and less effective than flights. 39．What do you know about Matilda Welin’s cycling trip from the passage? A．The trip took her little time and wasted some money. B．The trip has brought a lot of advantages to the planet. C．She enjoyed experiencing slow changes during the trip. D．She realized that the distance of this trip was quite short. 40．What is the passage mainly about? A．The greenest active way to travel. B．Choose green travel instead of flying. C．Serious problems of travelling by bike. D．Push forward the building of train systems. 【答案】37．B 38．C 39．C 40．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，探讨航空旅行的高碳排放问题，提出火车和自行车作为更环保的替代出行方式，分析其优缺点，并呼吁改善铁路系统以鼓励绿色出行。 37．推理判断题。根据“But for those who need to travel or love travelling, what other green ways are there?”可知，作者通过提问引出绿色出行选择，故选B。 38．细节理解题。根据“Trains can be more expensive than cheap flights…it may take many more hours to get to your place”可知，火车比廉价航班贵且耗时更长，故选C。 39．细节理解题。根据“She described how the world around her changed slowly…things she couldn’t enjoy on a flight”可知，她享受旅途中的缓慢变化，故选C。 40．主旨大意题。全文围绕飞行碳排放问题，介绍火车、骑行等绿色出行方式，呼吁替代飞行，主旨是选择绿色出行而非飞行，故选B。 第二节 请认真阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的六个选项中选出五个可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 There is a city in southwest China that keeps its charm (魅力) through its thousands of years of history, and the city is Chengdu.

With the help of digital technology, villagers are living an easier and happier life. Farming in the past was not an easy job. Farmers worked hard all year round. At the same time, they usually found it difficult to solve problems like plant diseases and pests (害虫). Now, there have been big changes in farming. For example, in Dayi County, Sichuan Province, AI machines help local farmers know when and how to fertilize (施肥于) fields and kill pests. In this way, they make farmers work more easily with less time and energy. Thanks to the Internet, a new business called rural e-commerce (乡村电子商务) grows. Selling fresh fruit and vegetables to cities is faster. The business also helps villagers live a digital life. They can get many things done on different kinds of apps. They can also use drones to help with their farm work. More visitors travel in beautiful villages because of digital technology. A good example is Huacheng Town, Guangdong Province. Visitors can know where to park their cars for free, when to book a ticket easily and what to buy online. They can also enjoy the view of nearly every part of the town by using VR. 26．According to Paragraph 2, we know AI machines can help farmers ________. A．water the crops B．harvest the crops C．know when and where to fertilize farmland D．save time and energy on farming 27．What is the structure of this passage?(①=Paragraph 1, ②=Paragraph 2…) A． B． C． D． 28．What is the best title of this passage?

In the past, there were only muddy roads and very few cars. People mostly walked or rode bicycles to get around. Now the roads are much wider and far busier than before, filled with cars, buses, and motorcycles day and night. The buildings have also changed. Fifty years ago, most buildings were short, simple, and made of brick or wood. Today, they are much taller and more modern, with glass and steel structures everywhere. The environment has changed too. The air was fresher and cleaner before, but now it is more polluted because of the growing number of factories and cars. However, people are trying to plant more trees and build parks to make the city greener and healthier. There are also more fun and convenient places now. We have a huge new shopping mall which is larger, brighter, and more exciting than the old market. Young people think life is more interesting and convenient now because there are more activities and things to do. But some old people still remember the past and say life was simpler, quieter, and more peaceful back then. 29．According to the passage, why is the air more polluted?

It lies in the north of Hebei Province. Saihanba means “beautiful and high mountains”． Around the 10th century, the rulers of the Liao Dynasty made it a royal (皇家的) hunting place because it was home to beautiful forests, green grasslands, clear lakes and different kinds of wild animals. Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty liked Saihanba so much that he made hunting there a royal festival. The royal festival finally stopped in the 19th century for lack of money and the place had to be open to the public. After that, the cutting down of trees and wildfires changed green Saihanba into grey deserts. By the 1950s, the beauty of Saihanba had completely disappeared (消失) with only one tree left. The tree is now famous as the “Tree of Honour”． On seeing the tree, Chinese scientists made up their minds and dreamed of restoring Saihanba. In February 1962, the plans were made and more than 120 foresters joined 242 local people in Saihanba to begin rebuilding it. Over the next 55 years, those first tree­planters fought against many difficulties to plant trees. After they died, their children and relatives followed them and went on with their hard work of planting trees. Today, the scientists’ dream has come true and there is beautiful grassland and flowers again around the “Tree of Honour”. Chinese people successfully changed Saihanba in the past half­century. 33．What’s the right order of the events in Paragraph 2? ①Saihanba became a royal hunting place. ②Saihanba was a desert and its beauty disappeared. ③Saihanba wasn’t closed to the public any more. ④Saihanba turned into the place for royal hunting festivals. A．①③②④ B．①③④② C．①④③② D．①④②③ 34．What does the underlined word “restoring” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A．Looking around. B．Bringing back. C．Arriving at. D．Travelling to. 35．According to Paragraph 4, how does the writer feel about Chinese people? A．Proud. B．Worried. C．Surprised. D．Nervous. 36．What is the best title of this passage? A．Saihanba: Past and Present B．The Largest Forest in China C．The Disappearing Saihanba D．The “Tree of Honour” in Saihanba D Flying has completely changed the way we travel around the world. It’s usually the fastest and most convenient way to go on long trips. But here’s a problem: it’s one of the activities that produce the most carbon for an ordinary person. Years ago, a small group of famous people in Sweden, driven by environmental worries, started the“flight shame”movement. They wanted to encourage people to give up flying. But for those who need to travel or love travelling, what other green ways are there? For medium to long trips, trains seem to be the best choice. According to a report, taking a train instead of a domestic (国内的) flight can cut down carbon emissions (碳排放) by 86%. However, there are some problems. Trains can be more expensive than cheap flights, especially during busy travel seasons. Also, it may take many more hours to get to your place, and most people don’t want to spend a lot of their travel time just on the way. That’s why sleeper trains are a great idea. The networks of sleeper trains in Europe are getting bigger, with new railways being added regularly. This means passengers can sleep during the trip and wake up in a new city or country! For short trips, many people are willing to ride bikes instead of driving cars. But few would think of cycling to another country. Matilda Welin is one of the few. It took her 17 days to ride a bike from London to Sweden. Sadly, she found that her trip neither benefited the planet nor saved her money. But it did change how she saw things. She said,“When I was travelling, I really felt the distance of the journey that I usually take so easily by plane.”She described how the world around her changed slowly, like the languages, the buildings, and the view—things she couldn’t enjoy on a flight. Unfortunately for the planet, air travel remains a popular choice. About 100,000 planes take off around the world every day. But if we spend more money on building better train systems and make train tickets cheaper, more people might choose trains over planes, which could greatly reduce carbon emissions. 37．How does the writer introduce the greener choices compared with flying in Paragraph 1? A．By giving facts. B．By asking a question. C．By listing numbers. D．By giving an example. 38．What challenges do trains face compared to flights? A．Trains are always faster but more expensive than flights. B．Trains are often cheaper but take much longer time than flights. C．Trains are more expensive than cheap flights and take more hours. D．Trains are used for short-distance trips and less effective than flights. 39．What do you know about Matilda Welin’s cycling trip from the passage? A．The trip took her little time and wasted some money. B．The trip has brought a lot of advantages to the planet. C．She enjoyed experiencing slow changes during the trip. D．She realized that the distance of this trip was quite short. 40．What is the passage mainly about? A．The greenest active way to travel. B．Choose green travel instead of flying. C．Serious problems of travelling by bike. D．Push forward the building of train systems. 第二节 请认真阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的六个选项中选出五个可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 There is a city in southwest China that keeps its charm (魅力) through its thousands of years of history, and the city is Chengdu.

With the help of digital technology, villagers are living an easier and happier life. Farming in the past was not an easy job. Farmers worked hard all year round. At the same time, they usually found it difficult to solve problems like plant diseases and pests (害虫). Now, there have been big changes in farming. For example, in Dayi County, Sichuan Province, AI machines help local farmers know when and how to fertilize (施肥于) fields and kill pests. In this way, they make farmers work more easily with less time and energy. Thanks to the Internet, a new business called rural e-commerce (乡村电子商务) grows. Selling fresh fruit and vegetables to cities is faster. The business also helps villagers live a digital life. They can get many things done on different kinds of apps. They can also use drones to help with their farm work. More visitors travel in beautiful villages because of digital technology. A good example is Huacheng Town, Guangdong Province. Visitors can know where to park their cars for free, when to book a ticket easily and what to buy online. They can also enjoy the view of nearly every part of the town by using VR. 26．According to Paragraph 2, we know AI machines can help farmers ________. A．water the crops B．harvest the crops C．know when and where to fertilize farmland D．save time and energy on farming 27．What is the structure of this passage?(①=Paragraph 1, ②=Paragraph 2…) A． B． C． D． 28．What is the best title of this passage? A．Better village life B．Tourism in villages C．The digital technology D．A new business in villages B Over the past fifty years, my hometown has changed a lot. In the past, there were only muddy roads and very few cars. People mostly walked or rode bicycles to get around. Now the roads are much wider and far busier than before, filled with cars, buses, and motorcycles day and night. The buildings have also changed. Fifty years ago, most buildings were short, simple, and made of brick or wood. Today, they are much taller and more modern, with glass and steel structures everywhere. The environment has changed too. The air was fresher and cleaner before, but now it is more polluted because of the growing number of factories and cars. However, people are trying to plant more trees and build parks to make the city greener and healthier. There are also more fun and convenient places now. We have a huge new shopping mall which is larger, brighter, and more exciting than the old market. Young people think life is more interesting and convenient now because there are more activities and things to do. But some old people still remember the past and say life was simpler, quieter, and more peaceful back then. 29．According to the passage, why is the air more polluted? A．Because of the taller buildings B．Because of the growing number of the factories and cars.

It lies in the north of Hebei Province. Saihanba means “beautiful and high mountains”． Around the 10th century, the rulers of the Liao Dynasty made it a royal (皇家的) hunting place because it was home to beautiful forests, green grasslands, clear lakes and different kinds of wild animals. Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty liked Saihanba so much that he made hunting there a royal festival. The royal festival finally stopped in the 19th century for lack of money and the place had to be open to the public. After that, the cutting down of trees and wildfires changed green Saihanba into grey deserts. By the 1950s, the beauty of Saihanba had completely disappeared (消失) with only one tree left. The tree is now famous as the “Tree of Honour”． On seeing the tree, Chinese scientists made up their minds and dreamed of restoring Saihanba. In February 1962, the plans were made and more than 120 foresters joined 242 local people in Saihanba to begin rebuilding it. Over the next 55 years, those first tree­planters fought against many difficulties to plant trees. After they died, their children and relatives followed them and went on with their hard work of planting trees. Today, the scientists’ dream has come true and there is beautiful grassland and flowers again around the “Tree of Honour”. Chinese people successfully changed Saihanba in the past half­century. 33．What’s the right order of the events in Paragraph 2? ①Saihanba became a royal hunting place. ②Saihanba was a desert and its beauty disappeared. ③Saihanba wasn’t closed to the public any more. ④Saihanba turned into the place for royal hunting festivals. A．①③②④ B．①③④② C．①④③② D．①④②③ 34．What does the underlined word “restoring” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A．Looking around. B．Bringing back. C．Arriving at. D．Travelling to. 35．According to Paragraph 4, how does the writer feel about Chinese people? A．Proud. B．Worried. C．Surprised. D．Nervous. 36．What is the best title of this passage? A．Saihanba: Past and Present B．The Largest Forest in China C．The Disappearing Saihanba D．The “Tree of Honour” in Saihanba D Flying has completely changed the way we travel around the world. It’s usually the fastest and most convenient way to go on long trips. But here’s a problem: it’s one of the activities that produce the most carbon for an ordinary person. Years ago, a small group of famous people in Sweden, driven by environmental worries, started the“flight shame”movement. They wanted to encourage people to give up flying. But for those who need to travel or love travelling, what other green ways are there? For medium to long trips, trains seem to be the best choice. According to a report, taking a train instead of a domestic (国内的) flight can cut down carbon emissions (碳排放) by 86%. However, there are some problems. Trains can be more expensive than cheap flights, especially during busy travel seasons. Also, it may take many more hours to get to your place, and most people don’t want to spend a lot of their travel time just on the way. That’s why sleeper trains are a great idea. The networks of sleeper trains in Europe are getting bigger, with new railways being added regularly. This means passengers can sleep during the trip and wake up in a new city or country! For short trips, many people are willing to ride bikes instead of driving cars. But few would think of cycling to another country. Matilda Welin is one of the few. It took her 17 days to ride a bike from London to Sweden. Sadly, she found that her trip neither benefited the planet nor saved her money. But it did change how she saw things. She said,“When I was travelling, I really felt the distance of the journey that I usually take so easily by plane.”She described how the world around her changed slowly, like the languages, the buildings, and the view—things she couldn’t enjoy on a flight. Unfortunately for the planet, air travel remains a popular choice. About 100,000 planes take off around the world every day. But if we spend more money on building better train systems and make train tickets cheaper, more people might choose trains over planes, which could greatly reduce carbon emissions. 37．How does the writer introduce the greener choices compared with flying in Paragraph 1? A．By giving facts. B．By asking a question. C．By listing numbers. D．By giving an example. 38．What challenges do trains face compared to flights? A．Trains are always faster but more expensive than flights. B．Trains are often cheaper but take much longer time than flights. C．Trains are more expensive than cheap flights and take more hours. D．Trains are used for short-distance trips and less effective than flights. 39．What do you know about Matilda Welin’s cycling trip from the passage? A．The trip took her little time and wasted some money. B．The trip has brought a lot of advantages to the planet. C．She enjoyed experiencing slow changes during the trip. D．She realized that the distance of this trip was quite short. 40．What is the passage mainly about? A．The greenest active way to travel. B．Choose green travel instead of flying. C．Serious problems of travelling by bike. D．Push forward the building of train systems. 第二节 请认真阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的六个选项中选出五个可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 There is a city in southwest China that keeps its charm (魅力) through its thousands of years of history, and the city is Chengdu.
