More than 1.4 billion people live here. That’s about a fifth of all the people on the Earth! And China is the third largest country by total area in the world. It covers about 3.7 million square miles. This large country has many different kinds of land. It has some very low areas of land. In fact, the second lowest point on the Earth is in China. It is Ayding Lake in the Turpan Basin (吐鲁番盆地). Other parts of China have mountains. For example, part of the Himalaya mountains is in the west part of the country. This area has some of the highest mountains in the world. The snow in the mountains is a source (源头) of many rivers. In fact, the snow makes two of China’s most important rivers. They are the Yellow River and the Yangtze River. The Yellow River is China’s second longest river. It is very special to the Chinese people, as it was the birthplace of Chinese civilization (文明). The Yangtze River is the longest river in Asia and the third longest river in the world! There are thousands of rivers in China. But there is still desert in the country. And rainforests are also in some areas of the country. So visitors can enjoy diverse landscapes in this country! 1. What CANNOT we learn from the first paragraph? A.

C Thanks to the mass media (大众传媒), information travels fast. Reporter Xu interviews Dr. Gu, a mass media expert. Xu: Good morning, Dr. Gu. People like to share information, don’t they? Dr. Gu: Yes. Long ago, when early humans made a discovery, they told their friends. Information spread from person to person. However, mass media is different. It brings news and information to many people very quickly. Xu: When did mass media begin? Dr. Gu: In Tang Dynasty, people had the first newspaper. And in Song Dynasty, Bi Sheng invented the Movable Type Printing. His invention could quickly print many copies of a book. So today, millions of people can read newspapers around the world. Magazines are also popular because they focus on one subject such as movies, fashion, or sports. Advertising helps to pay for the cost of publishing newspapers and magazines. Xu: What happened next? Dr. Gu: Movies, or “moving pictures”, were invented over 100 years ago. At that time, people started to film news and events from around the world. Xu: And then the television came next, right? Dr. Gu: In fact, the radio came next. It began about the same time as movies, but the first radio station didn’t start until 1920. Today, there are over 44,000 radio stations around the world. People can listen to the news while they drive or work. Xu: When did television start? Dr. Gu: It started in the 1930s. Now, television is everywhere, bringing entertainment to people. Some events are broadcast live while they are happening. Xu: So people have a lot of ways to get the latest news, don’t they? Dr. Gu: They do, but you mustn’t forget the latest way — the Web! Today, around 40% of the people in the world use the Web. The Web uses the Internet to give us 24-hour news. Also, with smartphones, people can access (访问) the Web wherever they go. Xu: We live in very interesting times. Dr. Gu: That’s true. It will be exciting to see what’s next in the world of mass media. 1.

D “Tom, we’re lost, aren’t we?” she said. “I’m so sorry, Becky. I don’t know where we are.” Becky fell to the ground and started to cry wildly. Tom tried to ease her thoughts, but there was little he could do to help. “Sure, your mother will find tonight that you haven’t come back.” he said. “She’ll send people out to look for you.” Becky thought for a moment, and then started to cry even harder than before. “Oh, Tom. She thinks that I’m sleeping at the Harpers’ tonight. She won’t find that I’m missing until late the next morning!” “All right, Becky. Let’s not cry. We should just keep walking. As long as we walk, there’s hope.” So they walked with no idea where they were going. Tom, after a while, had to put out the candle in order to save it, for he only had one more in his pocket. So most of the time they walked in total darkness. Tom tried calling out for help several times, but never got any answer in return. Some new plans had to be come up with or they would surely die. Tom had some kite string (风筝线) in his pocket. He took it out, and tied one end to a rock, then he told Becky to sit and wait for him. Tom lit the candle again, and made his way down one of the passages (通道). He didn’t get far, when the floor in front of him suddenly dropped below. He used his arm to feel how deep the drop (落差) was. While he was feeling around, his hand touched another hand. Tom jumped back and held out his candle to see who was there. A face then appeared. It was the face of Injun Joe. —Adapted from The Adventures of Tom Sawyer 1. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “ease” in the passage? A. 治愈 B. 缓解 C. 克服 D. 解决 2.

The robots waited beside human runners, starting from the same line. “I saw many robots running. Some were surprisingly fast, others had very lovely designs, and their running styles were quite different,” said Zhang Huihui, who took part in the race. During the 21-kilometer-long race, the robots had to run on two legs. Some even wore running shoes. Each robot was supported by a team of human guides, operators (操作员) and engineers. They could have their batteries changed during the race. Teams could even use new robots when the old ones could no longer run. There were 20 teams in the race and six of them made it to the end. Tiangong Ultra won the first in two hours and 40 minutes. “It crossed the finish line about 30 minutes earlier than expected,” said Xiong Youjun, CEO of a robot center. “In general, all the robots today could deal with challenges such as turns and speed bumps. We made history together.” “Robots’ completing the race isn’t the finish line. It’s the starting point for the growth of the robot industry,” said Liang Liang, from Yizhuang’s Administrative Committee. Although the robots fell from time to time, the event proved that they could do real-life tasks. Liang added, “Their small steps today will become giant leaps for human technological progress tomorrow.” 回答下面5个问题，每题答案不超过6个词。 1.

Even though we lit a few candles, it was still difficult to do anything in their weak light. I was sitting near several candles, but I had trouble reading. Saturday, Jan. 10:10 p. m.

Reporter Xu interviews Dr. Gu, a mass media expert. Xu: Good morning, Dr. Gu. People like to share information, don’t they? Dr. Gu: Yes. Long ago, when early humans made a discovery, they told their friends. Information spread from person to person. However, mass media is different. It brings news and information to many people very quickly. Xu: When did mass media begin? Dr. Gu: In Tang Dynasty, people had the first newspaper. And in Song Dynasty, Bi Sheng invented the Movable Type Printing. His invention could quickly print many copies of a book. So today, millions of people can read newspapers around the world. Magazines are also popular because they focus on one subject such as movies, fashion, or sports. Advertising helps to pay for the cost of publishing newspapers and magazines. Xu: What happened next? Dr. Gu: Movies, or “moving pictures”, were invented over 100 years ago. At that time, people started to film news and events from around the world. Xu: And then the television came next, right?

People can listen to the news while they drive or work. Xu: When did television start? Dr. Gu: It started in the 1930s. Now, television is everywhere, bringing entertainment to people. Some events are broadcast live while they are happening. Xu: So people have a lot of ways to get the latest news, don’t they? Dr. Gu: They do, but you mustn’t forget the latest way — the Web! Today, around 40% of the people in the world use the Web. The Web uses the Internet to give us 24-hour news. Also, with smartphones, people can access (访问) the Web wherever they go. Xu: We live in very interesting times. Dr. Gu: That’s true. It will be exciting to see what’s next in the world of mass media. 1.

She thinks that I’m sleeping at the Harpers’ tonight. She won’t find that I’m missing until late the next morning!” “All right, Becky. Let’s not cry. We should just keep walking. As long as we walk, there’s hope.” So they walked with no idea where they were going. Tom, after a while, had to put out the candle in order to save it, for he only had one more in his pocket. So most of the time they walked in total darkness. Tom tried calling out for help several times, but never got any answer in return. Some new plans had to be come up with or they would surely die. Tom had some kite string (风筝线) in his pocket. He took it out, and tied one end to a rock, then he told Becky to sit and wait for him. Tom lit the candle again, and made his way down one of the passages (通道). He didn’t get far, when the floor in front of him suddenly dropped below. He used his arm to feel how deep the drop (落差) was. While he was feeling around, his hand touched another hand. Tom jumped back and held out his candle to see who was there. A face then appeared. It was the face of Injun Joe. —Adapted from The Adventures of Tom Sawyer 1. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “ease” in the passage? A. 治愈 B. 缓解 C. 克服 D. 解决 2.

She won’t find that I’m missing until late the next morning!”（贝基想了一会儿，然后哭得比以前更厉害了。‘哦，汤姆。她以为我今晚在哈珀家睡觉。直到第二天早上晚些时候，她才会发现我失踪了！’）”可知，贝基哭得更厉害了是因为她妈妈不会发现她失踪了。故本题答案是D。 3. 题干意思：故事中这些事件的正确顺序是怎样的呢？①汤姆取出一些风筝线，并将其中一端系在一块石头上；②汤姆多次大声呼救，但始终没有得到任何回应；③汤姆再次点燃蜡烛，并沿着其中一条通道往下走；④汤姆为了节约蜡烛而将其熄灭了。根据第8段“Tom, after a while, had to put out the candle in order to save it, for he only had one more in his pocket.（过了一会儿，汤姆不得不熄灭那支蜡烛来节约，因为他口袋里只剩下一支蜡烛了。）”，故④排在第1个；根据第8段“Tom tried calling out for help several times, but never got any answer in return.（汤姆多次大声呼救，但始终没有得到任何回应。）”故④②，根据最后一段“Tom had some kite string (风筝线) in his pocket. He took it out, and tied one end to a rock, then he told Becky to sit and wait for him.（汤姆的口袋里有一些风筝线。他把风筝线取了出来，将其中一端系在一块石头上，然后让他贝基坐下等待他回来。）”故④②①，根据最后一段“Tom lit the candle again, and made his way down one of the passages (通道).（汤姆再次点燃了蜡烛，然后沿着其中一条通道走了下去。）”故④②①③，故本题答案是C。 4. 题干意思：汤姆大多数时候都把蜡烛熄灭了，这是为什么呢？A. 因为他想在黑暗中行走以寻求刺激；B. 因为他只剩下一根蜡烛了，想节省下来；C. 因为蜡烛已经坏了，无法燃烧很久；D. 因为贝基害怕蜡烛发出的光亮。根据第8段“Tom, after a while, had to put out the candle in order to save it, for he only had one more in his pocket.（过了一会儿，汤姆不得不熄灭那支蜡烛以节约它，因为他口袋里只剩下一支蜡烛了。）”可知，故本题答案是B。 5. 题干意思：你觉得故事中的汤姆是个什么样的人？A. 勇敢且聪明；B. 和善但愚蠢；C. 善良但调皮；D. 可爱且慷慨。根据文章内容可知，汤姆在迷失洞穴后，没有放弃，而是冷静地用风筝线制作绳子，并用蜡烛照明，沿着其中一条通道走去，最终走出了洞穴。可以看出汤姆是一个聪明，有勇气的孩子。故本题答案是A。 四、根据所给中文、首字母、音标提示与英文解释，写出句中所缺单词，每空限填一词。 1.

This helps create the seasons. At different times of year, there is more sunlight in some places and less sunlight in others. More sunlight means longer days and warmer weather. __2__________ It gets colder in autumn and winter because the days are shorter, and we get less light from the sun. The seasons fall at different times of year around the world. For example, China is to the north of the equator (赤道). Here, we experience summer from June to August. __3__________ In Australia, it is summer from December to February, and Australians have their spring when we have our autumn. __4__________ The hottest and the coldest parts of the world usually have only two seasons. It is always hot in places close to the equator. These places are called the tropics (热带地区). Instead of our four seasons, many parts of the tropics have a rainy season and a dry season. __5__________ Around the North and South Poles, there are only two seasons, too: a very, very cold winter and a somewhat less cold summer. A. This is why we have spring and summer. B. This is because spring and summer are long. C. But do you know the colors of the four seasons? D. People will never experience winter in these areas. E. But do you know how the four seasons are formed? F. Not all places in the world have four seasons like ours. G. To the south of the equator, June, July and August are winter months. 【答案】EAGFD 【解析】 1. 前文提到“Everybody knows that there are usually four seasons in a year.（每个人都知道一年通常有四个季节。）”，后文接着解释了季节形成的原因“As our planet moves around the sun, the light from the sun falls on the earth from different directions. This helps create the seasons.（当我们的星球绕着太阳转时，来自太阳的光从不同的方向照射到地球上。这有助于形成季节。）”所以此处应该是询问季节是如何形成的，选项E“But do you know how the four seasons are formed?（但是你知道四季是如何形成的吗？）”符合语境，答案选E。 2. 前文提到“More sunlight means longer days and warmer weather.（更多的阳光意味着更长的白天和更温暖的天气。）”，后文说“It gets colder in autumn and winter because the days are shorter, and we get less light from the sun.（在秋天和冬天天气变冷是因为白天变短，我们从太阳得到的光更少。）”所以此处应该是在解释为什么会有春天和夏天，选项A “This is why we have spring and summer.（这就是为什么我们有春天和夏天。）”符合语境，答案选A。 3. 前文说“The seasons fall at different times of year around the world. For example, China is to the north of the equator (赤道). Here, we experience summer from June to August.（世界各地的季节在一年中的不同时间到来。例如，中国位于赤道以北。在这里，我们从六月到八月经历夏季。）”，后文提到“In Australia, it is summer from December to February, and Australians have their spring when we have our autumn.（在澳大利亚，从十二月到二月是夏天，当我们是秋天的时候澳大利亚人是春天。）”由此可知，此处是在对比赤道南北季节的不同，选项G“To the south of the equator, June, July and August are winter months.（在赤道的南部，六月、七月和八月是冬季月份。）”符合语境，答案选G。 4. 后文提到“The hottest and the coldest parts of the world usually have only two seasons.（世界上最热和最冷的地区通常只有两个季节。），所以此处应该是引出并非所有地方都像我们一样有四个季节，选项F“Not all places in the world have four seasons like ours.（并非世界上所有地方都像我们一样有四个季节。）”符合语境，答案选F。 5. 前文提到“Instead of our four seasons, many parts of the tropics have a rainy season and a dry season.（热带地区的许多地方没有我们的四个季节，而是有雨季和旱季。）”，所以此处应该是进一步说明热带地区的情况，选项D“People will never experience winter in these areas.（人们在这些地区永远不会经历冬天。）”符合语境，答案选D。 六、阅读下面短文，在空白处填入一个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 The Spring Equinox, called Chunfen in Chinese, is the __1__________ (four) of China’s 24 Solar Terms.

The robots waited beside human runners, starting from the same line. “I saw many robots running. Some were surprisingly fast, others had very lovely designs, and their running styles were quite different,” said Zhang Huihui, who took part in the race. During the 21-kilometer-long race, the robots had to run on two legs. Some even wore running shoes. Each robot was supported by a team of human guides, operators (操作员) and engineers. They could have their batteries changed during the race. Teams could even use new robots when the old ones could no longer run. There were 20 teams in the race and six of them made it to the end. Tiangong Ultra won the first in two hours and 40 minutes. “It crossed the finish line about 30 minutes earlier than expected,” said Xiong Youjun, CEO of a robot center. “In general, all the robots today could deal with challenges such as turns and speed bumps. We made history together.” “Robots’ completing the race isn’t the finish line. It’s the starting point for the growth of the robot industry,” said Liang Liang, from Yizhuang’s Administrative Committee. Although the robots fell from time to time, the event proved that they could do real-life tasks. Liang added, “Their small steps today will become giant leaps for human technological progress tomorrow.” 回答下面5个问题，每题答案不超过6个词。 1.
