A classic Chinese folk song sings in praise of the clear water of the river. And in recent years, the Wanquan River has become a calling card for Hainan, thanks to its rich stories and history.
In the old days, when villagers needed to travel to other villages, they had to pass by this village. Then the village became a stopover (中转站) for tourists, so it got its name, Liuke.

Airships were popular in the early 1900s. These aircraft can fly because they are filled with lighter-than-air gases. Some types have a rigid frame and all of them have a cabin (机舱) below the main body. Pilots and passengers are carried in this cabin.
Back in the 1900s, most airships were filled with hydrogen (氢气). The gas burns easily. In 1937, an airship called the Hindenburg caught fire during landing. Thirty-six people died as a result. The sad thing scared people away from airships. At that time, planes were improving quickly. Since then, people have been using planes for most air travel.
Now, an American company called Lighter Than Air (LTA) Research wants to change that. LTA Research has been working on its airship, Pathfinder 1, for about ten years.
The new airship, about 123 metres long, is the largest of its kind since the 1930s. It uses helium (氦气).This gas is also lighter than air but does not burn. The helium fills 13 separate parts of the airship. About 10,000 long carbon fibre tubes (碳纤维管) make up a strong frame to protect these parts. The airship is powered by 12 electric motors. The electricity comes from either batteries or generators (发电机). With these motors, the airship can take off and land without a runway.
Pathfinder 1 can carry about 4 tons of goods. It can fly at a speed of up to 120 kilometres per hour. In November 2023, the airship made its first test flights in California. LTA Research hopes to show that their airships can be used to move goods quickly without polluting the air.
32.What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A.Planes were improving quickly after the airship had a crash.
B.People preferred to travel by plane rather than by airship for safety.
C.LTA Research has been working on its airship for about ten years.
D.Airships were uncomfortable and not big enough for pilots or passengers to stay in.
33.How does the author describe the new airship in Paragraph 4?
A.By listing numbers. B.By giving examples.
C.By raising questions. D.By making comparisons.
34.What does the underlined word “powered” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A.Protected. B.Driven. C.Stopped. D.Designed.
35.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A.The history of airships in the 1900s
B.Pathfinder 1: a new safe and green airship
C.The differences between planes and airships
D.LTA Research: a famous American company
【答案】32.B 33.A 34.B 35.B
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了飞艇的发展历史,以及美国LTA Research公司研发的新型飞艇Pathfinder 1,旨在展示一种更安全、环保的空中运输方式。
32.词句猜测题。根据“In 1937, an airship called the Hindenburg caught fire during landing…Since then, people have been using planes for most air travel.”以及“Now, an American company called Lighter Than Air (LTA) Research wants to change that. LTA Research has been working on its airship, Pathfinder 1, for about ten years.”可知,兴登堡号事故后,人们出于安全考虑,大多选择乘坐飞机而非飞艇,一家美国公司想要改变这一状况,这里的“that”指代的就是前文提到的“人们更倾向于乘坐飞机而非飞艇”这一现状。故选B。
33.细节理解题。根据“123 metres long”、“13 separate parts”、“10,000 long carbon fibre tubes”、“12 electric motors”等。因此,作者是通过列数字的方式进行描述的。故选A。
34.词句猜测题。根据“The airship is powered by 12 electric motors. The electricity comes from either batteries or generators.”可知,飞艇由12个电动机提供动力,电力来自电池或发电机,因此,“powered”的意思是“驱动、提供动力”,与“Driven”同义。故选B。
35.最佳标题题。通读全文可知,文章首先回顾了飞艇因安全问题被飞机取代的历史,然后重点介绍了LTA Research公司研发的新型飞艇Pathfinder 1,它使用不易燃的氦气,由电力驱动,既安全又环保,所以B项符合。故选B。
D
If you ask Jeff Shea who is from California where he is going or where he has been to, you better get a drink, sit back in your favourite chair and refresh yourself to hear a long story.
The sixty-year-old adventurer (探险家) Shea has walked across Africa, Europe, America, Asia and other continents. In his spare time, he has also climbed the highest mountains all over the world. When he climbed Mount Qomolangma which is in China, he did not take the traditional ‘easy route (路线)’—the southern side of the Himalaya Mountains from India and Nepal, but the most dangerous northern side from Xizang, China.
Shea travels in his own way, seldom moving directly from Point A to Point B or just following anyone else’s route. Travel clubs for country collectors, divide (划分) the world up into 325, 875 and 1281 parts, but Shea has his own idea. He divides the world into 3978 parts. He has visited 2,330 of them and decided to complete the rest of them before his travelling days are over.
Shea’s love for traveling, however, isn’t about these numbers, life goals or risks (风险). For him, travel is like a holy activity, one that makes the mind and one’s horizons larger. In 2012, he founded (组建) an organization called World Parks in order to achieve what some people would view as a quixotic (狂想的) goal: making world leaders protect wild places as “world” parks rather than “national” parks. He is nothing if he is not ambitious (野心勃勃的). “My goal is to change the world,” he said.
36.Jeff Shea is a(n) ________ from California, the USA.
A.club organizer B.world leader C.peak climber D.English adventurer
37.Mount Qomolangma, also called Mount Everest, is in ________ .
A.India B.Nepal C.China D.all of the above
38.What does the italicized word “continents” mean in Paragraph 2?
A.大陆 B.岛屿 C.山峰 D.海峡
39.Which is NOT true according to the passage?
A.Jeff Shea has been climbing peaks all around the world for over 60 years.
B.Jeff Shea suggests the leaders of the world take action to really protect the wild places.
C.Facts show that Jeff Shea is very ambitious.
D.Jeff Shea did not climb so many high peaks for the numbers, life goals and risks.
40.This article suggests that ________.
A.only the world leaders can do something to change the world
B.we should climb as many high mountains as we can before our travelling days are over
C.World Parks, an organization founded by Jeff Shea is a club for climbing mountains
D.every one of us should do something to make the world better for humans and animals
【答案】36.C 37.C 38.A 39.A 40.D
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,主要讲述了来自美国加利福尼亚州的60岁探险家Jeff Shea的探险经历,他坚持用自己的方式探索世界,还创立了World Parks组织,呼吁各国领导人保护野生区域,志在改变世界。
36.细节理解题。根据“Jeff Shea who is from California”和“The sixty-year-old adventurer (探险家) Shea has walked across Africa, Europe, America, Asia and other continents. In his spare time, he has also climbed the highest mountains all over the world.”可知,60岁的探险家Jeff Shea来自美国加利福尼亚州,他已经走遍了非洲、欧洲、美洲、亚洲和其他大陆,业余时间他还攀登过世界各地的最高峰。因此Shea是一名高峰攀登者。故选C。
37.细节理解题。根据“When he climbed Mount Qomolangma which is in China”可知,珠穆朗玛峰位于中国。故选C。
38.词句猜测题。根据前文列举的“Africa, Europe, America, Asia”可知,非洲、欧洲、美洲、亚洲这些都是世界大陆,因此“continents”的意思是“大陆”。故选A。
39.细节理解题。根据“The sixty-year-old adventurer (探险家) Shea”可知,Shea今年才60岁,不可能已经攀登高峰超过60年,A选项表述错误。故选A。
40.推理判断题。根据“In 2012, he founded (组建) an organization called World Parks in order to achieve what some people would view as a quixotic (狂想的) goal: making world leaders protect wild places as ‘world’ parks rather than ‘national’ parks.”可知,Shea组建该组织的目的是呼吁保护野生区域,这体现了他希望为人类和动物创造更美好世界的愿景。由此推知,文章通过Shea的故事,告诉我们每个人都应该做些事,让世界变得更适合人类和动物生存。故选D。

【详解】句意:水彩画是一种既放松又富有创意的爱好,你无需成为专家也能创作出美丽的作品。根据中文提示可知,“画”对应的英文是painting,此处作主语,谓语is为单数,用单数形式。故填painting。
45.It’s hard to ________ (想象) how people lived without the Internet in the past.
【答案】imagine
【详解】句意:很难想象过去的人们在没有互联网的情况下是如何生活的。imagine“想象”,动词,动词不定式符号to后接动词原形。故填imagine。

46.My father ________ (work) in this factory for 20 years. He loves his job.
【答案】has worked
【详解】句意:我父亲已经在这家工厂工作20年了,他热爱自己的工作。根据“My father...in this factory for 20 years”可知时间状语for 20 years表示动作从过去持续到现在,需用现在完成时,结构为have/has+动词过去分词。主语My father是第三人称单数,助动词用has,动词work的过去分词为worked。故填has worked。
47.People used to ________ (live) in small houses, but now many people live in big apartments.
【答案】live
【详解】句意:人们过去住在小房子里,但现在许多人住在大公寓里。live“居住”,used to + 动词原形,表示“过去常常做某事”。故填live。
48.He has worked here since he ________ (graduate) from university.
【答案】graduated
【详解】句意:自从他大学毕业以来,他一直在这里工作。graduate“毕业”,根据“since he...from university”可知,since引导的时间状语从句用一般过去时,表示过去的事情,因此用graduate的过去式graduated。故填graduated。
49.The ________ (attract) of the ancient temple lies in its unique architecture and long history.
【答案】attraction
【详解】句意:这座古寺的吸引力在于其独特的建筑和悠久的历史。attract“吸引”,是动词。此处需要填名词作句子的主语,且前面有定冠词“The”修饰,因此要将动词attract变为名词形式attraction“吸引力;吸引人的事物”。句子谓语动词是“lies”(第三人称单数),表明主语为单数,故填attraction。
50.Many ________ (hero) devoted their lives to protecting their country and people.
【答案】heroes
【详解】句意:许多英雄为了保护他们的国家和人民献出了生命。根据“Many...devoted their lives to protecting their country and people.”可知,many修饰可数名词复数,hero的复数形式是heroes(以o结尾的有生命的名词变复数加es)。故填heroes。
C)请根据短文内容,从下面方框中选择适当的单词或短语填空。

五、阅读填空(共20小题;每小题1分, 满分20分)
A)请认真阅读下面短文,并根据所读内容在文章后表格中小题的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。
What is your perfect vacation? Popular trips include relaxing on a warm beach. Or they involve sightseeing in a beautiful city. Increasingly, though, many of us don’t want to just visit a place. We want to experience it.
Experiential travel allows us to get closer to local people and their culture. For example, experiential travellers might stay a few weeks with local hosts. They might take classes to learn a craft. In other words, these travellers immerse (沉浸) themselves in a different culture. One such trip is in Fujian. There, a small group of travellers meet with a local fisherman. They learn how to fix nets and throw them into the water. They can fish together. Afterwards, they all cook and eat a meal with the fisherman's family.
Experiential travel helps people become better citizens. First of all, it lets them understand a place more deeply than tourists usually do. As one traveller says, traditional travel is“like” studying science without ever doing a scientific experiment. Since they often stay and work in one place, travellers learn more about the lives of local people.
It exposes (使接触到) them to different ways of living and working. Experiential travellers often make life-long friends with local people. They stay in touch after the trip has finished. Experiential travel helps travellers—and local people—feel like they are part of a global community.
You don’t need to use a travel company to get the benefits of experiential travel. You can do it by yourself. You can ask local people questions when you travel. Ask a driver about her life. You can also join a soccer game in the street. Listening to people’s stories and interacting (交流) with local people will change your understanding of the place you are visiting.

In the village of Liuke in China, houses are built with dark bricks and have red windows.
They stand there among tall and green trees.
Many tourists have come to Liuke Village to enjoy its natural beauty and rich culture. “This is just beautiful,” says Zhao Mingzhuo, a tourist from Zhejiang Province. “The kids get to enjoy the fields here, the old enjoy the quiet environment, and the young people can go camping. It’s quite a good experience here.”
Liuke is one of the ancient villages that lie beside the Wanquan River in Hainan. The Wanquan River is 163 kilometres long and runs through an area of more than 3,600 square kilometres. A classic Chinese folk song sings in praise of the clear water of the river. And in recent years, the Wanquan River has become a calling card for Hainan, thanks to its rich stories and history.
In the old days, when villagers needed to travel to other villages, they had to pass by this village. Then the village became a stopover (中转站) for tourists, so it got its name, Liuke.
In recent years, the local government has worked hard to attract as many tourists as possible to the village. People have opened many sightseeing programmes. Now the village has not only attracted tourists, but also helped villagers stay. In this way, the village can develop more quickly.
29.What can tourists do in Liuke Village?
A.They can plant tall and green trees.
B.They can enjoy the modern buildings.
C.They can take a boat trip up the Wanquan River.
D.They can see houses with dark bricks and red windows.

Airships were popular in the early 1900s. These aircraft can fly because they are filled with lighter-than-air gases. Some types have a rigid frame and all of them have a cabin (机舱) below the main body. Pilots and passengers are carried in this cabin.
Back in the 1900s, most airships were filled with hydrogen (氢气). The gas burns easily. In 1937, an airship called the Hindenburg caught fire during landing. Thirty-six people died as a result. The sad thing scared people away from airships. At that time, planes were improving quickly. Since then, people have been using planes for most air travel.
Now, an American company called Lighter Than Air (LTA) Research wants to change that. LTA Research has been working on its airship, Pathfinder 1, for about ten years.
The new airship, about 123 metres long, is the largest of its kind since the 1930s. It uses helium (氦气).This gas is also lighter than air but does not burn. The helium fills 13 separate parts of the airship. About 10,000 long carbon fibre tubes (碳纤维管) make up a strong frame to protect these parts. The airship is powered by 12 electric motors. The electricity comes from either batteries or generators (发电机). With these motors, the airship can take off and land without a runway.
Pathfinder 1 can carry about 4 tons of goods. It can fly at a speed of up to 120 kilometres per hour. In November 2023, the airship made its first test flights in California. LTA Research hopes to show that their airships can be used to move goods quickly without polluting the air.
32.What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A.Planes were improving quickly after the airship had a crash.
B.People preferred to travel by plane rather than by airship for safety.
C.LTA Research has been working on its airship for about ten years.
D.Airships were uncomfortable and not big enough for pilots or passengers to stay in.
33.How does the author describe the new airship in Paragraph 4?
A.By listing numbers. B.By giving examples.
C.By raising questions. D.By making comparisons.
34.What does the underlined word “powered” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A.Protected. B.Driven. C.Stopped. D.Designed.
35.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A.The history of airships in the 1900s
B.Pathfinder 1: a new safe and green airship
C.The differences between planes and airships
D.LTA Research: a famous American company

If you ask Jeff Shea who is from California where he is going or where he has been to, you better get a drink, sit back in your favourite chair and refresh yourself to hear a long story.
The sixty-year-old adventurer (探险家) Shea has walked across Africa, Europe, America, Asia and other continents. In his spare time, he has also climbed the highest mountains all over the world. When he climbed Mount Qomolangma which is in China, he did not take the traditional ‘easy route (路线)’—the southern side of the Himalaya Mountains from India and Nepal, but the most dangerous northern side from Xizang, China.
Shea travels in his own way, seldom moving directly from Point A to Point B or just following anyone else’s route. Travel clubs for country collectors, divide (划分) the world up into 325, 875 and 1281 parts, but Shea has his own idea. He divides the world into 3978 parts. He has visited 2,330 of them and decided to complete the rest of them before his travelling days are over.
Shea’s love for traveling, however, isn’t about these numbers, life goals or risks (风险). For him, travel is like a holy activity, one that makes the mind and one’s horizons larger. In 2012, he founded (组建) an organization called World Parks in order to achieve what some people would view as a quixotic (狂想的) goal: making world leaders protect wild places as “world” parks rather than “national” parks. He is nothing if he is not ambitious (野心勃勃的). “My goal is to change the world,” he said.

A)请认真阅读下面短文,并根据所读内容在文章后表格中小题的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。
What is your perfect vacation? Popular trips include relaxing on a warm beach. Or they involve sightseeing in a beautiful city. Increasingly, though, many of us don’t want to just visit a place. We want to experience it.
Experiential travel allows us to get closer to local people and their culture. For example, experiential travellers might stay a few weeks with local hosts. They might take classes to learn a craft. In other words, these travellers immerse (沉浸) themselves in a different culture. One such trip is in Fujian. There, a small group of travellers meet with a local fisherman. They learn how to fix nets and throw them into the water. They can fish together. Afterwards, they all cook and eat a meal with the fisherman's family.
Experiential travel helps people become better citizens. First of all, it lets them understand a place more deeply than tourists usually do. As one traveller says, traditional travel is“like” studying science without ever doing a scientific experiment. Since they often stay and work in one place, travellers learn more about the lives of local people.
It exposes (使接触到) them to different ways of living and working. Experiential travellers often make life-long friends with local people. They stay in touch after the trip has finished. Experiential travel helps travellers—and local people—feel like they are part of a global community.
You don’t need to use a travel company to get the benefits of experiential travel. You can do it by yourself. You can ask local people questions when you travel. Ask a driver about her life. You can also join a soccer game in the street. Listening to people’s stories and interacting (交流) with local people will change your understanding of the place you are visiting.
