C Every year before the Qingming Festival, thousands of students and teachers from Guyuan No.2 Middle School and Hongwen Middle School in Ningxia start a special hiking trip. They set off from the urban area of Guyuan in the early morning, walking 108 li (54 kilometers) to Renshanhe Martyrs’ Cemetery (烈士陵园) in Pengyang County to remember revolutionary martyrs. This meaningful activity has been held for 31 years since 1995. The hiking road is rough and difficult. Students have to climb over Huangmao Mountain, walking on winding mountain paths. The whole round trip takes about 14 to 16 hours, from before dawn to dark. It is a big test of students’ physical strength and willpower. During the long walk, students help and encourage each other. Although they feel tired with sore legs and painful feet, no one gives up easily. This is not just a common outdoor activity, but a “walking ideological and political class”. Before the hiking, schools will train students’ physical fitness and tell the students the history of the Renshanhe Battle (战役). In 1949, the Renshanhe Battle was the first battle to liberate Ningxia. Hundreds of soldiers lost their lives here and were buried in Renshanhe Martyrs’ Cemetery. When students arrive at the cemetery, they hold simple memorial ceremonies. They observe a moment of silence, present flowers and clean the tombs for the martyrs. Through this activity, students deeply understand the spirit of revolutionary martyrs and learn the importance of perseverance and patriotism. Teachers say this activity helps students grow up and develop a strong will. Over the past 31 years, more than 30,000 students have taken part in this hiking trip, passing on the red spirit from generation to generation. ( ) 19. What is the end point of the hiking trip? A. Guyuan No. 2 Middle School B. Huangmao Mountain C. Renshanhe Martyrs’ Cemetery D. Pengyang County urban area ( ) 20. What does the underlined phrase “ideological and political class” mean in the passage? A. A class about outdoor sports skills B. A class to learn historical stories and noble spirits C. A class to practise hiking skills D. A class about music and art ( ) 21. What do students NOT do at the martyrs’ cemetery? A. Hold sports meetings B. Observe a moment of silence C. Present flowers to martyrs D. Clean the tombs ( ) 22. What can we learn from the passage? A. The hiking trip is easy and comfortable for students. B. The Renshanhe Battle happened after the liberation of Ningxia. C. Only students take part in the hiking activity. D. The activity helps students develop a strong will and patriotic feelings. D ① Saving water is becoming more and more important than ever before. Being smart with water at any time of year protects the planet and saves time and money, too. Why not turn it into a challenge in your family — who can save the most water and be named family water champion? Here are some suggestions. ② Although baths use more water than showers, a shower can still use about 14 liters (升) of water a minute. Shortening a shower by one or two minutes can save about 680 liters a month. So, let’s take shorter showers. To know how long you’ve been there, use a timer — or get the family to find some songs that last two minutes and sing as you washing. ③ A running tap (水龙头) uses more than six liters of water every minute, so turn off the tap while you brush your teeth. You can use a cup of water to wash your mouth and clean the brush. ④ Don’t waste the water after washing vegetables or cooking eggs and even from your pet’s water bowl. It’s a good idea to recycle it by watering your plants. ⑤ A dripping (滴水的) tap can waste about 5,300 liters of water a year. That is an incredible number which makes a lot of people shocked. Check that the taps in your home have been turned off properly, and put a bowl under it to catch any drops. ( ) 23. What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about? A. Take shorter showers. B. Turn off the tap. C. Recycle water. D. Check your taps. ( ) 24. What does the underlined word “incredible” mean in Chinese in Para5? A. 难以忘记的. B. 难以置信的. C. 不可能的. D. 难以计数的. ( ) 25. Which of the following shows the structure of the passage? A. B. C. D. ( ) 26. What’s the best title of this passage? A. Be Smart B. Recycle Water C. Collect water D. Save Water 第二节：配对阅读（共4小题；每小题2分，满分8分） 请阅读下列右栏A—E五个小语段，将其与左栏所给的四个情景相匹配，并将所对应的选项（A、B、C、D、E）填在相应的位置上，其中一个选项为多余选项。 27. __________ Don’t use general questions when you ask Al for instructions.
