While pumping water from a pond, he found a large underground cave (洞穴). This led to the discovery of 24 ancient man-made caves, now known as the Longyou Caves. What makes these caves even more mysterious is the strange stone balls found inside. These stone balls are perfectly round and smooth, with diameters ranging from 10 to 30 centimeters. They are made of hard granite, and each one is almost exactly the same in shape. The most puzzling question is: how were they made so perfectly round without modern tools? Archaeologists estimate (估计) that the caves were built about 2,000 years ago, during the Han Dynasty. However, no historical records mention their construction. The stone balls add to the mystery. Some experts believe they might have been used as bearings for large doors or machines. Others think they could have been part of an ancient calendar system. A few even suggest they might have had religious meaning. What’s particularly interesting is that similar stone balls have been found in other parts of the world, like Costa Rica. But the Longyou stone balls are unique in their perfect roundness and smooth surface. Scientists have tried to recreate them using ancient methods, but haven’t succeeded in making balls as perfect as the originals. Today, the Longyou Caves are open to tourists, and the stone balls remain one of China’s fascinating archaeological mysteries, reminding us that ancient people had skills and knowledge that we are still trying to understand. 46．What did the farmer find that led to the discovery of the caves? A．Ancient writings on stone. B．A large underground cave while pumping water. C．Some perfectly round stones in a field. D．Old tools from the Han Dynasty. 47．How do the Longyou stone balls differ from similar ones found elsewhere? A．They are much larger in size. B．They are made of different materials. C．Their perfect roundness and smooth surface are unique. D．They have special marks on them. 48．What is the main idea the writer wants to express in the last paragraph? A．The caves are now a popular tourist attraction. B．Ancient people’s technology remains partly a mystery to us today. C．Scientists will soon solve the mystery of the stone balls. D．The stone balls are the most important discovery in Longyou Caves. 【答案】46．B 47．C 48．B 【导语】本文介绍浙江龙游石窟的发现，洞内石球工艺精湛成因成谜，专家有多种猜测，至今仍是未解之谜。 46．第一段陈述事实：“While pumping water from a pond, he found a large underground cave.”，这一发现引出了石窟群。 47．第四段说明特点：“But the Longyou stone balls are unique in their perfect roundness and smooth surface.”，这是它们与其他石球的区别。 48．最后一段点明主旨：“reminding us that ancient people had skills and knowledge that we are still trying to understand.”，说明古人技艺对我们仍是谜团。 B When kids go on an outing with their parents, they usually expect to see beautiful sights. But one family made an amazing discovery while hiking in the Badlands of North Dakota, US. A father named Sam Fisher with his two sons, Jessin and Liam, and their cousin Kaiden, discovered a dinosaur fossil (恐龙化石). Although Fisher and his family were excited by what they found, they were careful with it. Right away, Fisher sent a photo of the fossil to his old high school classmate, Dr. Tyler Lyson, one of the paleontologists (scientists who study fossils) at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science. Soon, Dr. Lyson, the family and a team went to study the fossil. They took out the remains (遗骸) of a teenage T. rex (霸王龙) and named it “Teen Rex”. It was about 12 to 14 years old when it died, weighed about 3,500 pounds and was 25 feet long— half the size of an adult (成年) T. rex. Liam shared how they found the fossil. “I went up to a ledge (岩架) with my dad and then we saw the bones (骨头). We called for Jessin and Kaiden. Upon seeing the bones, Jessin said, ‘That’s a dinosaur.’” Jessin said he had seen cow bones before and the dinosaur remains were huge. Dr. Lyson praised the kids for the discovery. “Their love for exploring brought an amazing discovery that helps science.” Later, the museum held an exhibition of “Teen Rex”. The museum hoped the exhibition would encourage more young scientists. 49．What can we know about “Teen Rex” from the passage? A．It was over 20 feet long. B．It was as big as an adult T. rex. C．It weighed less than 3,500 pounds. D．It died when it was a baby dinosaur. 50．How did Jessin know the bones were from a dinosaur? A．He learned about it from his dad.

A．Dream big B．Amazing kids C．Save our planet D．Outdoor fun for the family 【答案】49．A 50．D 51．A 52．B 【导语】本文主要讲述了一家人徒步旅行时发现恐龙化石，孩子们的探索精神带来了惊人的发现，帮助了科学，重点突出了孩子们的厉害之处。 49．根据第三段“It was about 12 to 14 years old when it died, weighed about 3,500 pounds and was 25 feet long— half the size of an adult (成年) T. rex.”可知，“Teen Rex”长25英尺，也就是超过20英尺。 50．根据第四段“Jessin said he had seen cow bones before and the dinosaur remains were huge.”可知，Jessin之前见过牛骨头，而恐龙遗骸非常大，所以他知道这些骨头来自恐龙。 51．根据第四段“Dr. Lyson praised the kids for the discovery. ‘Their love for exploring brought an amazing discovery that helps science.’”可知，莱森博士表扬了孩子们的发现，所以可能会对孩子们说“Good job on your find!”（你们找得真棒！） 。 52．文章主要讲述了一家人徒步旅行时发现恐龙化石，孩子们的探索精神带来了惊人的发现，帮助了科学，重点突出了孩子们的厉害之处。“Amazing kids”（了不起的孩子）符合文章主题。 C Finding and Losing Troy Was Troy a real place or just a story? For years, many people thought it was just a myth (神话). But a German named Heinrich Schliemann believed it was real. His strong belief helped him make some very important discoveries. As a boy, Schliemann loved reading. His favorite book was The Iliad, a book about the great war at Troy. The brave heroes and strong walls in the story interested him deeply. He promised himself that one day he would find the lost city of Troy. However, life first took him in a different direction. He became a successful businessman, traveled to many different places around the world, learned several languages, and made a lot of money. In his late forties, he finally had enough money to follow his childhood dream. He traveled through Greece and Turkey to search for Troy. Hisarlik, an ancient Turkish site, caught his eye. In 1871, he started digging at Hisarlik with a team of local workers. He soon became impatient with the slow work. To dig faster, he used dynamite. This sped up the excavation (挖掘) but also caused serious damage to the site. Piece by piece, they uncovered weapons (武器), pottery (陶器) and many other ancient objects. These findings showed that Hisarlik had a history of over 5,000 years. It had been rebuilt many times. Schliemann believed one of these lost cities was Troy. His discovery made him famous around the world. But not all historians think highly of him. Most of them thought his decision to use dynamite destroyed important parts of the ancient site forever. 53．Why did Schliemann want to find Troy? A．He read about it in a book. B．His teacher told him to. C．He saw it in a movie. D．His parents asked him. 54．What did “dynamite” do according to the passage? A．It made the story true. B．It made the digging quick. C．It helped protect things well. D．It didn’t help find weapons and pottery. 55．How do most of the historians feel about Schliemann? A．They think highly of him. B．They do not know him. C．They feel happy for his discoveries. D．They are angry with his method. 56．What can we learn from this story? A．Making money is always good. B．Using fast methods is always right. C．Sometimes a good finding has a bad side. D．Old stories are important and interesting. 【答案】53．A 54．B 55．D 56．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了德国人海因里希·谢里曼受书籍启发，经商致富后发掘特洛伊遗址成名，却因使用炸药破坏遗迹引发历史学家争议的故事。 53．细节理解题。根据“As a boy, Schliemann loved reading. His favorite book was The Iliad, a book about the great war at Troy…He promised himself that one day he would find the lost city of Troy”可知，他因在书中读到特洛伊而想要寻找它，故选A。 54．细节理解题。根据“To dig faster, he used dynamite. This sped up the excavation but also caused serious damage to the site”可知，炸药加快了挖掘速度，故选B。 55．观点态度题。根据“Most of them thought his decision to use dynamite destroyed important parts of the ancient site forever”可知，历史学家对他使用炸药的方法不满，故选D。 56．推理判断题。根据“His discovery made him famous…his decision to use dynamite destroyed important parts of the ancient site forever”可知，海因里希的发现有价值，但方法造成了破坏，即好的发现可能有坏的一面，故选C。 D While England’s Stonehenge is known for its mysterious stone circle, there is an even older place in Turkey called Göbekli Tepe. It is thought to be the world’s oldest temple, built around 11,000 years ago—about 6,000 years before Stonehenge. Göbekli Tepe was discovered in the 1990s. It is made up of several big round spaces built with huge T-shaped stone blocks. Many of these blocks are cut with pictures of animals such as foxes, snakes, birds, and wild pigs. Unlike Stonehenge, these stones were not moved from far away; they were shaped directly from the nearby hills. What amazes experts most is that Göbekli Tepe was built by hunter-gatherers (狩猎采集者) —people who did not yet farm or live in cities. This changes the old idea that large religious (宗教的) places were only built after farming began. Göbekli Tepe makes us rethink history. Maybe building such places brought people together, which later led to farming. The purpose of Göbekli Tepe remains unknown, just like Stonehenge. Some think it was an important place, used for special events, burials, or watching the sky. Others believe it was a meeting place for different groups to trade and tell stories. Today, Göbekli Tepe is a protected World Heritage Site (世界遗产). It helps us rethink human history and shows that ancient people were more skilled and organized than we once believed. The site reminds us that human societies could achieve great things through cooperation (合作) long before the rise of cities or kingdoms. 57．What makes Göbekli Tepe special compared to Stonehenge? A．It is a temple from England. B．It was built 6,000 years ago. C．It is older than Stonehenge. D．It was built with huge stones. 58．Why are experts surprised by Göbekli Tepe? A．Because it was used for community events. B．Because it was shaped directly from the nearby hills. C．Because it was built by hunter-gatherers, not farmers. D．Because its stones are covered with animal carvings. 59．What was a possible use of Göbekli Tepe according to the passage? A．A hunting ground. B．A tourist site for visitors. C．A palace for a king. D．A religious meeting place. 60．What is the main purpose of the passage? A．To explain how ancient people moved and shaped huge stones. B．To argue that Göbekli Tepe is more important than Stonehenge. C．To describe a mysterious ancient site and its historical importance. D．To encourage tourists to visit Turkey’s protected World Heritage Site. 【答案】57．C 58．C 59．D 60．C 【导语】本文主要介绍了土耳其的哥贝克力石阵这一神秘的古老遗址。 57．细节理解题。根据“it is thought to be the world’s oldest temple, built around 11,000 years ago—about 6,000 years before Stonehenge”可知，哥贝克力石阵与英国巨石阵相比，最特殊的点是比巨石阵更古老。故选C。 58．细节理解题。根据“What amazes experts most is that Göbekli Tepe was built by hunter-gatherers —people who did not yet farm or live in cities”可知，专家感到最惊讶的核心原因是，这座大型遗址由尚未从事农耕、未定居城市的狩猎采集者建造，这打破了人们的固有认知。故选C。 59．推理判断题。根据“This changes the old idea that large religious (宗教的) places were only built after farming began. Göbekli Tepe makes us rethink history.”和“it was an important place, used for special events, burials, or watching the sky. Others believe it was a meeting place for different groups to trade and tell stories.”可知，旧观念认为“大型宗教场所只有农耕出现后才会建造”，而哥贝克力石阵是大型古老遗址；第四段又说有人认为它被用于特殊活动、葬礼、观星，也有人认为是不同族群的聚会地。结合这些信息，可推断它可能是宗教聚会场所。故选D。 60．主旨大意题。全文的行文核心围绕哥贝克力石阵展开，作者的写作目的是描述这一神秘的远古遗址，并阐释其历史重要性。故选C。 第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 分） A: Hi, Lucy!

I know amber can keep pieces of the past.”，说明A的空白处应是一个询问Lucy是否了解琥珀的问句。选项B“Have you heard about its secrets?”与Lucy的肯定回答形成问答对应。 62．A介绍了科学家在琥珀中发现带羽毛恐龙尾巴的事实，Lucy表示惊讶，A紧接着追问Lucy是否相信这一发现。选项C“Do you believe it?”自然引出Lucy关于自己原先想法的陈述“I used to think dinosaurs had no feathers.”，逻辑连贯。 63．Lucy说以前认为恐龙没有羽毛，A表示同感“Me too.”，随后应补充对过去错误认识的总结。选项A“But now we know we were wrong.”既承接了“Me too.”，又自然过渡到下一话题。 64．Lucy提出疑问“I wonder if amber can tell us more about ancient species.”，A对此给出肯定回答，并进一步说明其作用。选项E“Of course it can.”直接回应了Lucy的疑问，与后文“It may help us discover more unknown species.”衔接紧密。 65．Lucy问“What other secrets do you think nature has?”，A表示不确定，但紧接着表达自己的观点。选项D“But I think there are still many unsolved mysteries.”与后文Lucy的回应“I agree.”形成观点一致的对话逻辑。 第三部分 书面表达（满分 15 分） 66．造纸术不仅是中国古代的伟大发明，同时也促进了世界文明的发展。请根据下面表格里所提供的内容，以“One of the Most Helpful Inventions”为题写一篇短文。词数60～80。 Invention paper Time the Western Han dynasty Inventor Cai Lun Materials bark, ropes, rags and so on Uses writing, painting, printing books and so on ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】例文： One of the Most Helpful Inventions As we all know, paper is one of the four most important inventions in ancient China.

While pumping water from a pond, he found a large underground cave (洞穴). This led to the discovery of 24 ancient man-made caves, now known as the Longyou Caves. What makes these caves even more mysterious is the strange stone balls found inside. These stone balls are perfectly round and smooth, with diameters ranging from 10 to 30 centimeters. They are made of hard granite, and each one is almost exactly the same in shape. The most puzzling question is: how were they made so perfectly round without modern tools? Archaeologists estimate (估计) that the caves were built about 2,000 years ago, during the Han Dynasty. However, no historical records mention their construction. The stone balls add to the mystery. Some experts believe they might have been used as bearings for large doors or machines. Others think they could have been part of an ancient calendar system. A few even suggest they might have had religious meaning. What’s particularly interesting is that similar stone balls have been found in other parts of the world, like Costa Rica. But the Longyou stone balls are unique in their perfect roundness and smooth surface. Scientists have tried to recreate them using ancient methods, but haven’t succeeded in making balls as perfect as the originals. Today, the Longyou Caves are open to tourists, and the stone balls remain one of China’s fascinating archaeological mysteries, reminding us that ancient people had skills and knowledge that we are still trying to understand. 46．What did the farmer find that led to the discovery of the caves? A．Ancient writings on stone. B．A large underground cave while pumping water. C．Some perfectly round stones in a field. D．Old tools from the Han Dynasty. 47．How do the Longyou stone balls differ from similar ones found elsewhere? A．They are much larger in size. B．They are made of different materials. C．Their perfect roundness and smooth surface are unique. D．They have special marks on them. 48．What is the main idea the writer wants to express in the last paragraph? A．The caves are now a popular tourist attraction. B．Ancient people’s technology remains partly a mystery to us today. C．Scientists will soon solve the mystery of the stone balls. D．The stone balls are the most important discovery in Longyou Caves. B When kids go on an outing with their parents, they usually expect to see beautiful sights. But one family made an amazing discovery while hiking in the Badlands of North Dakota, US. A father named Sam Fisher with his two sons, Jessin and Liam, and their cousin Kaiden, discovered a dinosaur fossil (恐龙化石). Although Fisher and his family were excited by what they found, they were careful with it. Right away, Fisher sent a photo of the fossil to his old high school classmate, Dr. Tyler Lyson, one of the paleontologists (scientists who study fossils) at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science. Soon, Dr. Lyson, the family and a team went to study the fossil. They took out the remains (遗骸) of a teenage T. rex (霸王龙) and named it “Teen Rex”. It was about 12 to 14 years old when it died, weighed about 3,500 pounds and was 25 feet long— half the size of an adult (成年) T. rex. Liam shared how they found the fossil. “I went up to a ledge (岩架) with my dad and then we saw the bones (骨头). We called for Jessin and Kaiden. Upon seeing the bones, Jessin said, ‘That’s a dinosaur.’” Jessin said he had seen cow bones before and the dinosaur remains were huge. Dr. Lyson praised the kids for the discovery. “Their love for exploring brought an amazing discovery that helps science.” Later, the museum held an exhibition of “Teen Rex”. The museum hoped the exhibition would encourage more young scientists. 49．What can we know about “Teen Rex” from the passage? A．It was over 20 feet long. B．It was as big as an adult T. rex. C．It weighed less than 3,500 pounds. D．It died when it was a baby dinosaur. 50．How did Jessin know the bones were from a dinosaur? A．He learned about it from his dad. B．He saw the same bones in a museum before. C．He heard Dr. Lyson talk about dinosaur bones. D．He found the bones were much bigger than cow bones. 51．What might Dr. Lyson say to the kids? A．Good job on your find! B．Take care when you hike. C．Work hard for your dream. D．I will show you more fossils. 52．In which part of a children’s magazine can we find the passage? A．Dream big B．Amazing kids C．Save our planet D．Outdoor fun for the family C Finding and Losing Troy Was Troy a real place or just a story? For years, many people thought it was just a myth (神话). But a German named Heinrich Schliemann believed it was real. His strong belief helped him make some very important discoveries. As a boy, Schliemann loved reading.

B．His teacher told him to. C．He saw it in a movie. D．His parents asked him. 54．What did “dynamite” do according to the passage? A．It made the story true. B．It made the digging quick.

C．They feel happy for his discoveries. D．They are angry with his method. 56．What can we learn from this story? A．Making money is always good. B．Using fast methods is always right. C．Sometimes a good finding has a bad side. D．Old stories are important and interesting. D While England’s Stonehenge is known for its mysterious stone circle, there is an even older place in Turkey called Göbekli Tepe.
