They hold a large number of old artworks. The caves (洞穴) are full of beautiful wall paintings. However, over the years, they have been in danger because of sand, bad weather and human activities. Thanks to the hard work of Fan Jinshi and her team, we can still enjoy these priceless cultural treasures today. Fan began working in Dunhuang after she graduated from Peking University. Her job was to study and protect the art. One day, when she was comparing old photos with new ones, she made a surprising discovery. Some caves were completely different, and some old paintings were gone. “Will this happen to all the paintings?” she wondered. Fan made a decision: she had to save them. Fan’s team did everything they could. They controlled the number of visitors, put doors on the caves, and tried to keep the temperature inside right. However, Fan soon realized that they could only slow down the damage (破坏). They could not stop it completely. In such a terrible natural environment, these caves simply wouldn’t last forever. It was sad, but Fan did not give up. Her team continued to search for new ways to protect the art. Finally, they decided to use computers to make digital copies of the paintings. This was the start of the “Digital Dunhuang” project. After years of hard work, it went online in 2016. Now, people around the world can enjoy the special art without leaving their homes. Fan has spent her life researching and protecting this important part of China’s history: “The longer I stay here, the deeper my love grows for Dunhuang,” Fan said. That is exactly why people call her “the daughter of Dunhuang”. 31. What problem did Fan Jinshi find when studying the caves? A. Some caves were closed to visitors. B. Some photos were difficult to compare. C. Some artworks had changed or disappeared. 32. What action did Fan take after her discovery? A. She decided to repair all the caves at once. B. She chose to begin protecting the paintings. C. She tried to move the artworks to a safer place. 33. What did Fan and her team do at first? A. They copied the paintings with computers. B. They rebuilt damaged caves in new places. C. They limited visits and improved conditions inside. 34. Why did Fan’s team start the digital project? A. The damage could not be fully stopped. B. Visitors wanted to see the caves online. C. Computers made the work much easier. 35. What’s the best title for the text? A. Fan Jinshi and Dunhuang B. A Look at China’s Old Caves C. A New Way to Visit Dunhuang 【答案】31. C 32. B 33. C 34. A 35. A 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了樊锦诗及其团队保护敦煌莫高窟壁画的故事，介绍了他们从实地保护到开创“数字敦煌”的过程。 【31题详解】 第2段“when she was comparing old photos with new ones, she made a surprising discovery. Some caves were completely different, and some old paintings were gone.”可知，樊锦诗在研究中发现，部分洞窟发生了变化，有些古老的壁画消失了。 【32题详解】 第2段“Fan made a decision: she had to save them.”可知，发现问题后，樊锦诗决定要保护这些壁画。 【33题详解】 第3段“Fan’s team did everything they could. They controlled the number of visitors, put doors on the caves, and tried to keep the temperature inside right.”可知，樊锦诗和团队最初的做法是限制游客数量、安装洞门、调节洞内环境，即限制参观并改善洞内条件。 【34题详解】 第3段“However, Fan soon realized that they could only slow down the damage. They could not stop it completely... Finally, they decided to use computers to make digital copies of the paintings.”可知，因为自然环境的破坏无法完全阻止，所以团队启动了数字项目，用电脑制作壁画的数字副本。 【35题详解】 全文围绕樊锦诗保护敦煌莫高窟的故事展开，她被称为“敦煌的女儿”，因此最佳标题是“Fan Jinshi and Dunhuang”。 B 卷（共 50 分） 一、短文填空。从下面方框中选出 10 个单词，将其正确形式填入短文，使短文意思正确通顺（每词限用一次）。（共 10 小题；每小题 1 分，计 10 分） animal dead good guide house human kill live safe train true with I am an old elephant near the end of my life, but I still remember my early years.

A new study shows that simply imagining eating food may help people eat less. Researchers found that when people repeatedly imagine eating a certain food, they may lose interest in it. ____46____ For example, the tenth bite of a chocolate bar may seem less enjoyable than the first. Carey Morewedge, one of the scientists, explained that the way people imagine food is important. If people only think about how the food smells or tastes, they may want it even more. ____47____ Doing so may make people want that food less. ____48____ The people in the study were divided into two groups. One group imagined putting coins into a machine and then eating a small number of chocolates. ____49____ After the imagining task, all the people were given bowls of chocolates and told they could eat as many as they wanted. The results were interesting. The group that imagined eating many chocolates actually ate fewer chocolates than the other group. ____50____ It also shows that our mind can influence how much we eat. A. This idea is called habituation. B. To test this idea, the team did an experiment. C. The other group imagined eating many chocolates. D. Some people may still choose food only by its colour and smell. E. This shows that imagination may help people control what they eat. F. Instead, he suggested imagining chewing and swallowing many times. 【答案】46. A 47. F 48. B 49. C 50. E 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇关于“想象进食与食欲控制”的科普说明文。研究发现，反复想象吃某种食物可能会让人对它的兴趣降低，从而帮助减少实际摄入量。 【46题详解】 第一段说研究发现反复想象吃某种食物会让人失去兴趣，空白处后举例“第十口巧克力可能不如第一口享受”。因此空白处应引出“习惯化”这一概念。选项A“This idea is called habituation.”（这种想法叫做习惯化）起到定义和承上启下的作用。 【47题详解】 第二段科学家解释想象食物味道和气味会让人更想吃，空白处后说“这样做可能会让人减少对那种食物的欲望”。因此空白处应给出具体的想象方式建议。选项F“Instead, he suggested imagining chewing and swallowing many times.”（相反，他建议想象多次咀嚼和吞咽）符合逻辑，与上文形成对比。 【48题详解】 第三段空白处位于段首，后文描述实验分组和方法。因此空白处应引出实验。选项B“To test this idea, the team did an experiment.”（为了验证这个想法，团队做了一个实验）准确概括本段内容。 【49题详解】 第三段后半部分描述实验分组，一组想象往机器里放硬币然后吃少量巧克力，空白处应说明另一组的任务。选项C“The other group imagined eating many chocolates.”（另一组想象吃了很多巧克力）与上文形成对比。 【50题详解】 最后一段说想象吃很多巧克力的组实际吃得少，空白处后说“这也表明我们的思想可以影响我们吃多少”。因此空白处应总结实验结论。选项E“This shows that imagination may help people control what they eat.”（这表明想象力可能帮助人们控制饮食）符合逻辑。 三、阅读表达。（共 10 小题；计 20 分） A. 完成图表。根据短文内容，完成图表中所缺信息（每空不超过三个单词）。（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，计 10 分） For many years, people believed that planting trees was a good way to slow climate change. Trees take in carbon dioxide (CO₂) from the air and keep it in their bodies. Because of this, many people think planting more trees can help cut down the amount of CO₂ in the air. However, scientists say the situation may not be so simple. Trees can keep carbon (碳) only while they are alive. When trees die, they slowly break down over time, and the carbon goes back into the air again. In recent years, scientists have noticed something interesting. Trees in many places around the world are growing faster than before. At the same time, scientists noticed the rising level of CO₂ in the air. Roel Brienen, a forest scientist from the University of Leeds in the UK, explained that higher CO₂ levels and warmer temperatures can help trees grow more quickly. At first, this seems like good news. Faster-growing trees can take in carbon more quickly. But scientists have also found another important fact. Trees that grow very fast often live shorter lives than trees that grow more slowly. To study this question, Brienen and his team examined more than 210,000 tree-ring records from over 110 tree species in many parts of the world. Their research showed that in most forests, fast-growing trees usually died younger than slow-growing trees. The team also used a computer program to study what might happen in a forest over time. At first, the forest held more carbon because trees were growing quickly. But about twenty years later, many trees began to die, and the carbon returned to the air again. Because of this, scientists believe planting trees alone cannot solve the problem of climate change. We still need to stop putting too much CO₂ into the air. A New Finding About Trees and Climate Change Traditional View Planting trees is a good way to slow climate change. New Finding Trees ____51____ carbon forever. Faster-growing Trees Trees are growing faster. Higher CO₂ and warmer temperatures may be a ____52____. A Problem Discovered Fast-growing trees have a ____53____ lifespan (寿命) than slow-growing ones. The Result of the Study The carbon in the air will ____54____ again when trees start to die. Conclusion Besides planting trees, reducing the amount of CO2 is still ____55____. 【答案】51. can’t keep 52. cause 53. shorter 54. return 55. necessary 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了关于树木和气候变化的新发现，指出树木并不能永久储存碳，生长快的树木寿命更短，因此仅靠植树无法解决气候变化问题，减少二氧化碳排放仍然必要。 【51题详解】 根据第一段“Trees can keep carbon only while they are alive. When trees die, they slowly break down over time, and the carbon goes back into the air again.”可知，树木不能永远储存碳，因此填“can’t keep”。 【52题详解】 根据第二段“higher CO₂ levels and warmer temperatures can help trees grow more quickly.”可知，更高的二氧化碳浓度和更温暖的温度可能是树木生长更快的“原因”，因此填“cause”。 【53题详解】 根据第三段“Trees that grow very fast often live shorter lives than trees that grow more slowly.”可知，快速生长的树木寿命更短，因此填“shorter”。 【54题详解】 根据第五段“many trees began to die, and the carbon returned to the air again.”可知，当树木开始死亡时，碳会再次“返回”到空气中，因此填“return”。 【55题详解】 根据最后一段“We still need to stop putting too much CO₂ into the air.”可知，除了植树，减少二氧化碳排放量仍然是“必要的”，因此填“necessary”。 B. 任务型阅读。根据短文内容，按要求回答问题。（共5小题；每小题2分，计10分） The Magic of Shadows It is Saturday afternoon in a small town near Xi’an. Wang Weifang and his friends are putting on a special show. The audience can hear them clearly, but they cannot see the artists. That is because the artists stand behind a white screen. They are performing a shadow puppet (皮影) play. This is a traditional Chinese folk art with a long history. Today, it is on UNESCO’s list of intangible (非物质) cultural heritage. Shadow puppet plays in China started over 2,000 years ago. Artists use light to make shadows on a screen and tell stories. This is one of the earliest kinds of “moving pictures”. It has influenced modern films and cartoons a lot. Sadly, this old art was once in danger of dying out. Artists like Wang don’t want to see that, so they work hard to keep it alive. Shadow puppets were first made of paper. Later, people used animal skin because it lasts much longer. That is why they are called “piying” in Chinese, which means “skin shadows”. Artists cut the skin into the shapes of people or animals. Then they paint each puppet in bright colors and put it on a stick. Some puppets can even move their arms, legs and eyes. During the show, Wang and his friends hold the puppets close to the screen. A light shines from behind, so the audience can see the shadows move. The artists also speak for different characters and sing old songs. The audience can hardly take their eyes off the screen. These days, Wang and his friends try new ways to protect this art. They add modern ideas to old stories. For example, the puppets can even do modern dance moves! This makes people laugh and cheer. They hope more young people will love this traditional art. 56. Where are the artists standing when they are performing a shadow puppet play? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 57. Why do artists like Wang Weifang work hard to keep shadow puppet plays alive? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 58. Why are shadow puppets called “piying” in Chinese? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 59. What do Wang and his friends do to attract more young people to the art? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 60. Do you think young people should learn traditional arts like shadow puppet play? Why or why not? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】56. Behind a white screen. 57. Because it was once in danger of dying out. 58. Because they were made of animal skin. 59. They add modern ideas to old stories. 60. Yes, because it helps protect traditional culture. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了皮影戏的起源、制作材料、表演形式、发展现状以及传承创新的相关内容。 【56题详解】 文中第一段明确提到“That is because the artists stand behind a white screen.”，直接提取地点信息即可得出答案。 【57题详解】 第二段指出“Sadly, this old art was once in danger of dying out”，他们不愿这项传统技艺消失，所以努力传承延续皮影戏。 【58题详解】 第三段提到“Later, people used animal skin because it lasts much longer. That is why they are called ‘piying’ in Chinese, which means ‘skin shadows’.”，说明后来人们使用更耐用的兽皮制作皮影，piying字面意思为皮做的影子，由此得名。 【59题详解】 文末提到“They add modern ideas to old stories.”，融入新潮元素丰富表演内容，以此吸引年轻人喜爱皮影戏。 【60题详解】 本题为开放性问答题，可结合传承传统文化、了解民俗历史、丰富课余生活等角度作答，观点合理语句通顺即可。 四、书面表达。（计 15 分） 61. 假如你是李华。你校正在开展“AI协助下的自主学习”探索实践，校英语俱乐部举办了“Does AI Really Help Us Study?”的讨论活动并要求同学们写讨论总结。请根据以下图示完成你的总结。 Does AI Really Help Us Study?

C Dunhuang’s Mogao Caves are world-famous. They hold a large number of old artworks. The caves (洞穴) are full of beautiful wall paintings. However, over the years, they have been in danger because of sand, bad weather and human activities. Thanks to the hard work of Fan Jinshi and her team, we can still enjoy these priceless cultural treasures today. Fan began working in Dunhuang after she graduated from Peking University. Her job was to study and protect the art. One day, when she was comparing old photos with new ones, she made a surprising discovery. Some caves were completely different, and some old paintings were gone. “Will this happen to all the paintings?” she wondered. Fan made a decision: she had to save them. Fan’s team did everything they could. They controlled the number of visitors, put doors on the caves, and tried to keep the temperature inside right. However, Fan soon realized that they could only slow down the damage (破坏). They could not stop it completely. In such a terrible natural environment, these caves simply wouldn’t last forever. It was sad, but Fan did not give up. Her team continued to search for new ways to protect the art. Finally, they decided to use computers to make digital copies of the paintings. This was the start of the “Digital Dunhuang” project. After years of hard work, it went online in 2016. Now, people around the world can enjoy the special art without leaving their homes. Fan has spent her life researching and protecting this important part of China’s history: “The longer I stay here, the deeper my love grows for Dunhuang,” Fan said. That is exactly why people call her “the daughter of Dunhuang”. 31. What problem did Fan Jinshi find when studying the caves? A. Some caves were closed to visitors. B. Some photos were difficult to compare. C. Some artworks had changed or disappeared. 32. What action did Fan take after her discovery? A. She decided to repair all the caves at once. B. She chose to begin protecting the paintings. C. She tried to move the artworks to a safer place. 33. What did Fan and her team do at first? A. They copied the paintings with computers. B. They rebuilt damaged caves in new places. C. They limited visits and improved conditions inside. 34. Why did Fan’s team start the digital project? A. The damage could not be fully stopped. B. Visitors wanted to see the caves online. C. Computers made the work much easier. 35. What’s the best title for the text? A. Fan Jinshi and Dunhuang B. A Look at China’s Old Caves C.

Trees take in carbon dioxide (CO₂) from the air and keep it in their bodies. Because of this, many people think planting more trees can help cut down the amount of CO₂ in the air. However, scientists say the situation may not be so simple. Trees can keep carbon (碳) only while they are alive. When trees die, they slowly break down over time, and the carbon goes back into the air again. In recent years, scientists have noticed something interesting. Trees in many places around the world are growing faster than before. At the same time, scientists noticed the rising level of CO₂ in the air. Roel Brienen, a forest scientist from the University of Leeds in the UK, explained that higher CO₂ levels and warmer temperatures can help trees grow more quickly. At first, this seems like good news. Faster-growing trees can take in carbon more quickly. But scientists have also found another important fact. Trees that grow very fast often live shorter lives than trees that grow more slowly. To study this question, Brienen and his team examined more than 210,000 tree-ring records from over 110 tree species in many parts of the world. Their research showed that in most forests, fast-growing trees usually died younger than slow-growing trees. The team also used a computer program to study what might happen in a forest over time. At first, the forest held more carbon because trees were growing quickly. But about twenty years later, many trees began to die, and the carbon returned to the air again. Because of this, scientists believe planting trees alone cannot solve the problem of climate change. We still need to stop putting too much CO₂ into the air. A New Finding About Trees and Climate Change Traditional View Planting trees is a good way to slow climate change. New Finding Trees ____51____ carbon forever. Faster-growing Trees Trees are growing faster. Higher CO₂ and warmer temperatures may be a ____52____. A Problem Discovered Fast-growing trees have a ____53____ lifespan (寿命) than slow-growing ones.
