Gondolas (贡多拉) are considered as “buses” or “taxis” for Venice.

As a high school student with English literature as one of my main subjects, I have to! Shakespeare’s Hamlet is probably the most important play by the most important writer in English. ____16____ doesn’t know “To be, or not to be”, right? Having seen quite a few productions of Hamlet and read the play many times, I was full of ____17____—until the Peking Opera came to town! Dating back to the 18th century, Peking Opera has over two hundred years of history. Does this mean it’s easier than a Shakespeare play to understand? To find out the ____18____, I just had to go and see The Revenge of Prince Zidan (《王子复仇记》)—the Peking Opera version of Hamlet. Starting with an orchestra (管弦乐队) playing traditional Chinese instruments, the opera brought a ____19____ new sound to my Western ears. At first, I thought what I heard was a violin, but later I learnt that it was an instrument with two strings called jinghu. Then, seeing the main characters come on stage, I was surprised! The costumes and masks were amazing. How we feel about the show ____20____ not only the music but also the performances. The performers of course sang in Chinese, but the music, exaggerated (夸大的) movements and mime (哑剧) helped get the ____21____ across to the audience. The voices themselves sounded really unusual—some of the female voices were so ____22____ that I was sure they could break glass! And the stage was really simple: a decorated whip represented a horse, and a screen with Chinese characters, a study. Using such skills, the opera had turned a small stage into the whole universe. Easily my favourite part of the show was how the characters ____23____ on stage. I had never seen Prince Hamlet do a backflip, rolling (滚动) his body backward like a wheel! That was simply unbelievable. It was so dazzling and energetic that I wasn’t sure ____24____ the characters were performers or athletes! Everyone was clapping. Before experiencing The Revenge of Prince Zidan, I wondered if I would enjoy it. But, in fact, I was on the edge of my seat! Feeling the strong emotions of love, anger, fear and sadness in the performance, I could easily understand the theme of Hamlet. So, if you want to see a show that ____25____ music, singing, drama, poetry and costume design with amazing effect, The Revenge of Prince Zidan ticks all the right boxes! I would strongly recommend it to you. 16. A. Nobody B. Anybody C. Somebody D. Everybody 17. A. doubt B. envy C. surprise D. confidence 18. A. survey B. choice C. answer D. question 19. A. hardly B. completely C. simply D. widely 20. A. works on B. puts on C. depends on D. turns on 21. A. memories B. meanings C. sounds D. results 22. A. long B. low C. high D. short 23. A. laughed B. moved C. spoke D. thought 24. A. that B. why C. whether D. how 25. A. compares B. prevents C. teaches D. mixes 【答案】16. A 17. D 18. C 19. B 20. C 21. B 22. C 23. B 24. C 25. D 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了作者作为高中生，本以为对莎士比亚的《哈姆雷特》非常了解，但观看京剧版《王子复仇记》后，被其独特的音乐、表演和舞台艺术深深震撼，并强烈推荐这部融合了多种艺术形式的精彩演出。 【16题详解】 句意：没有人不知道“生存还是毁灭”这句台词，对吧？ 前句点明《哈姆雷特》是英语文学最重要的戏剧，“Nobody doesn’t know” 为双重否定，表达人人都知晓这句经典台词。anybody任何人；somebody某人；everybody每个人，均不符合双重否定的语境逻辑。 【17题详解】 句意：看过好几部《哈姆雷特》的制作并读过很多遍剧本后，我充满信心——直到京剧来到镇上！ 根据前文“Having seen quite a few productions of Hamlet and read the play many times”可知，作者自认为很了解这部剧，因此应该是“充满信心”，应用confidence。doubt“怀疑”、envy“嫉妒”、surprise“惊讶”均与积累丰富经验后的心理状态不符。 【18题详解】 句意：为了找出答案，我必须去看《王子复仇记》。 前文提问“Does this mean it’s easier than a Shakespeare play to understand?”，作者需要找到这个问题的“答案”，应用answer。survey“调查”、choice“选择”、question“问题”均不符合寻找问题答案的逻辑。 【19题详解】 句意：歌剧给我西方人的耳朵带来了一种全新的声音。 根据后文“At first, I thought what I heard was a violin, but later I learnt that it was an instrument with two strings called jinghu.”可知，这种声音对作者来说是全新的，应用completely，表示“完全地”。hardly“几乎不”、simply“简单地”、widely“广泛地”均无法体现“全新”的程度。 20题详解】 句意：我们对演出的感受不仅取决于音乐，还取决于表演。 根据句意，感受是由音乐和表演共同决定的，应用depends on，表示“取决于”。works on“致力于”、puts on“穿上/上演”、turns on“打开”均不符合逻辑关系。 【21题详解】 句意：演员们当然用中文演唱，但音乐、夸张的动作和哑剧帮助观众理解了意思。 京剧用中文演唱，外国观众需要通过其他手段来理解剧情和“意思”，应用meanings。memories“记忆”、sounds“声音”、results“结果”均不符合通过表演传达信息的语境。 【22题详解】 句意：有些女声如此之高，以至于我确信它们能震碎玻璃！ 根据后文“they could break glass”可知，这是形容声音非常高亢尖锐，应用high。long“长的”、low“低的”、short“短的”均无法与“震碎玻璃”这一夸张效果关联。 【23题详解】 句意：我最喜欢的部分就是角色们在舞台上的移动方式。 根据后文“I had never seen Prince Hamlet do a backflip, rolling his body backward like a wheel!”可知，作者惊叹于角色的肢体动作和移动方式，应用moved。laughed“笑”、spoke“说话”、thought“思考”均与后文的空翻等动作无关。 【24题详解】 句意：它是如此耀眼和充满活力，以至于我不确定这些角色是表演者还是运动员。 根据句意，作者在两种身份之间犹豫，应用whether，与or连用表示“是……还是……”。that引导陈述句、why“为什么”、how“如何”均无法表达选择关系。 【25题详解】 句意：所以，如果你想看一场将音乐、歌唱、戏剧、诗歌和服装设计以惊人效果融合在一起的演出，《王子复仇记》符合所有条件！ 根据句意，该演出将多种艺术形式结合，应用mixes，表示“混合，融合”。compares“比较”、prevents“阻止”、teaches“教授”均不符合多种元素相结合的含义。 三、阅读理解（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 请认真阅读下列材料，从材料后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 A 26.

We use encyclopaedias to find information about different subjects. Nowadays, most people use encyclopaedias online, but some still prefer to use paper encyclopaedias. They often come in several volumes (卷). China has a long history of creating encyclopaedias. One of the first encyclopaedias was the Huanglan (i.e. the Imperial Anthology). It was created around 220 CE. Another important encyclopaedia was the Yongle Dadian (i.e. the Yongle Encyclopaedia). The Yongle Dadian was completed in 1408 and had over 11,000 volumes. It is probably the largest encyclopaedia in history. Both the Huanglan and Yongle Dadian included important pieces of writing. These entries (条目) covered subjects like history, art and science. Encyclopaedias in other parts of the world also go back a long way in history. The earliest known encyclopaedias in Europe were written by the Greeks in the 4th century BCE. They were similar to early Chinese encyclopaedias because they included works by different scholars (学者). Centuries later, the editors of the first modern encyclopaedias, like the Encyclopaedia Britannica, organized the entries in alphabetical (按字母顺序的) order. People could use the first letter of a word to find a subject quickly and easily. Encyclopaedias have played an important role through history in recording and providing information. They are still a useful tool, and they help us learn about the world that we live in. 29. What can we learn about the Yongle Dadian? A. It had over 11,000 volumes. B. It was created around 220 CE. C. It was written by Greek scholars. D. It was organized in alphabetical order. 30. Why does the writer mention the Encyclopaedia Britannica? A. To give an example of alphabetical ordering. B. To show how old the Encyclopaedia Britannica is. C. To compare Chinese and European encyclopaedias. D. To explain why people prefer paper encyclopaedias. 31. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To encourage people to read more encyclopaedias. B. To compare online encyclopaedias with paper ones. C. To introduce the history and value of encyclopaedias. D. To explain why the Yongle Dadian was lost for years. 【答案】29. A 30. A 31. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了百科全书的历史发展，尤其是中国和欧洲早期百科全书的特点及价值。 【29题详解】 根据第二段“The Yongle Dadian was completed in 1408 and had over 11,000 volumes.”可知，《永乐大典》有超过11,000卷。 【30题详解】 根据第三段“the editors of the first modern encyclopedias, like the Encyclopaedia Britannica, organized the entries in alphabetical order.”可知，作者提到《大英百科全书》是为了举例说明按字母顺序排列条目的方式。 【31题详解】 文章第一段引出百科全书，第二段介绍中国早期百科全书，第三段介绍欧洲百科全书的发展，最后一段总结百科全书在记录和提供信息方面的重要作用，因此，文章的主要目的是介绍百科全书的历史与价值。 C Imagine taking a long space trip with your pet. How do you both stay healthy in hard conditions like microgravity (微重力) and space radiation (辐射)? That’s where space-based animal research comes in. On Oct 31, China’s Shenzhou XXI mission launched (启动) with four mice aboard. This is the first time China has sent mice into space for experiments, following earlier missions with zebrafish and fruit flies, said Xinhua. After the mice return with the Shenzhou XX spaceship, scientists will further study how space influences their bodies. Not just any mouse can become an “astronaut”. According to China Daily, these mice were chosen for their excellent performance during 60 days of training. They passed physical tests, like riding an “exercise bike”, and cognitive (认知的) tests, such as solving mazes (迷宫). Mice are ideal for space research because they share genetic (基因的) similarities with humans, need little space and reproduce quickly, Huang Kun from the Chinese Academy of Sciences told Xinhua. Also, given their short lifespans (寿命), six months in space for a mouse is like over 10 years for a human. This allows scientists to predict long-term space effects on humans in just months, rather than years. Internationally, sending animals to space began in the late 1940s to see if any life could survive the high rocket speeds or the weightlessness and radiation in space, said CBC News. Today, studies go beyond survival. “The animal work is helping us understand how to live a better life in space, making it a healthier reality, as well as helping us study a few diseases that affect us down on Earth,” a scientist said. For example, space is ideal for studying osteoporosis (骨质疏松), as microgravity causes bone loss 12 times faster than on Earth, said UCLA Health. In 2017, a study with 40 mice on the International Space Station found a treatment that slowed bone loss and helped new bones grow, offering hope for keeping humans healthy both on Earth and in space. Moreover, when we live on other planets, we can’t live without animals. Besides being friends, animals help keep ecosystems stable (稳定的) by pollinating (授粉) plants, maintaining food chains and more. 32. How long did the space mouse “astronauts” receive training before the launch? A. For half a month. B. For two months. C. For six months. D. For over 10 years. 33. Why are mice ideal for space research? ①They take up very little space. ②They have similar genes to humans. ③They can live for over 10 years in space. ④They can produce new generations quickly. A. ①③④ B. ②③④ C. ①②④ D. ①②③ 34. How has the purpose of sending animals to space changed over time? A. From testing survival to learning to live better in space. B. From studying diseases to checking rocket speed safety. C. From improving life in space to finding new test animals. D. From training animals to choosing those with good qualities. 35. What is the writer’s view on space-based animal research? A. It mainly helps scientists learn how animals survive in space, not humans. B. It is too early to understand its real value, for further studies are necessary. C. It is valuable for improving human health and supporting future life in space. D. It is a doubtful practice, so much more time is still needed to get clear results. 【答案】32. B 33. C 34. A 35. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了中国神舟二十一号首次将老鼠送入太空进行实验，并阐述了选择老鼠作为太空研究对象的原因、国际上动物太空实验目的的演变，以及此类研究对人类健康和未来太空生活的价值。 【32题详解】 第三段指出：“these mice were chosen for their excellent performance during 60 days of training”，60天即两个月。 【33题详解】 第四段提到：“they share genetic similarities with humans, need little space and reproduce quickly”，对应①②④；而③“能在太空活超过10年”与原文“six months in space for a mouse is like over 10 years for a human”不符，那是类比人类寿命，并非老鼠真能活10年。 【34题详解】 第五段明确说明目的演变：最初是“to see if any life could survive the high rocket speeds or the weightlessness and radiation in space”(测试生存)，如今“studies go beyond survival…helping us understand how to live a better life in space” (学习如何更好地生活)。 【35题详解】 全文多处体现作者正面评价：第五段“helping us understand how to live a better life in space…as well as helping us study a few diseases”；第六段以骨质疏松研究为例说明对地球和太空健康都有益；第七段强调动物对未来星球生活不可或缺。综合来看，作者认为太空动物研究对改善人类健康和支持未来太空生活具有重要价值。 D The emperor’s birthday was coming up, and he was celebrating with a big party! He had the grand ballroom decorated and told his chefs to prepare a generous party. The emperor was very vain (虚荣的), so his biggest decision was what to wear. “Summon the finest designers!” he ordered, “I want the most fantastic outfit (服饰) of all, but make sure that the clothes can be seen!” A year ago, he had learned his lesson when two swindlers (骗子) had told him to wear an outfit that didn’t actually exist (存在)! Luckily, one boy was brave enough to point out that he wore nothing. Since then, the ruler made sure the things he bought were real. Three fashion designers soon arrived to show him their designs. “Look at this ruffled robe in green silk, trimmed with jewels from Bohemia! You will look exquisite!” said one designer. “This vest combines puffy sleeves with a bold diamond pattern-very stylish! This look will set a trend, trust me!” said the second designer. “For a classic look, you can’t beat this fancy tweed jacket adorned with delicate chains and accessories!” said another designer. “They are exactly what I had in mind!” the emperor decided. “I shall have all three!” Just then, the door opened with a bang. It was the kid who had once pointed out that the emperor had no clothes. The ruler had made him his minister (大臣), because he always told the truth! “Why buy new outfits?” the boy asked. “You have rooms full of clothes!” “But what will my subjects (臣民) say?” the emperor complained. “They will think I am short of money!” The boy waved his hand. “‘Outfit repeating’ is a hot trend right now. Trust me!” He went through the emperor’s room and quickly found some amazing clothes that the ruler had forgotten about. A local designer made a few changes to those clothes. The party was a hit! The music and food were amazing, but the emperor’s old clothes caused the most attraction. He received lots of praise from his guests! The emperor said to himself, “The boy is right, yet again.” His old clothes were better than the new ones. It was all about how you wore them! At the end of the evening, he admired himself in the mirror and thought, “Perhaps I shall be known as ‘the Emperor Who Wore Vintage (复古的)’ from now on!” 36. Why did the emperor want to make sure the clothes he bought were real? A. Because his last outfit didn’t look real at all. B. Because he was tricked by two swindlers a year ago. C. Because the boy advised him to check the clothes carefully. D. Because the three designers refused to show him real clothes. 37. What does the underlined sentence “It was all about how you wore them!” mean? A. Clothes from famous designers are not always real. B. Following fashion trends is the key to looking good. C. People should wear old clothes instead of buying new ones. D. The way you wear clothes matters more than what you wear. 38. Which of the following best describes the boy in the story? A. Brave but careless. B. Shy but careful. C. Kind and organized. D. Honest and clever. 39. Which of the following best shows the emperor’s change of mind? A. “They are exactly what I had in mind!” B. He ordered, “I want the most fantastic outfit of all.” C. The emperor said to himself, “The boy is right, yet again.” D. “But what will my subjects say?” the emperor complained. 40. Which of the following can be the best title for the story? A. The Emperor’s New Clothes B. Three Fashion Designers and a Big Party C. The Emperor’s Old Clothes: A New Fashion D. A Truth-telling Boy and a Generous Emperor 【答案】36. B 37. D 38. D 39. C 40. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，改编自《皇帝的新装》。讲述皇帝生日前夕想买新衣服，但因一年前被骗子骗过，要求衣服必须是真的。三个设计师来展示作品时，当年指出皇帝没穿衣服的男孩已成为大臣，他建议皇帝穿旧衣并将其包装成“复古”潮流，最终派对大获成功，皇帝也意识到穿法比衣服本身更重要。 【36题详解】 第四段明确指出：“A year ago, he had learned his lesson when two swindlers had told him to wear an outfit that didn’t actually exist!” 说明皇帝因为一年前被两个骗子欺骗，才要求买的衣服必须是真实存在的。 【37题详解】 倒数第三段提到：“His old clothes were better than the new ones. It was all about how you wore them!” 结合全文主旨，皇帝的旧衣服在男孩的搭配下比新衣服更受欢迎，说明穿法比衣服本身更重要。 【38题详解】 第四段提到男孩“brave enough to point out”皇帝没穿衣服，且皇帝因他“always told the truth”而任命他为大臣，说明他诚实（honest）。后来他用“outfit repeating is a hot trend”说服皇帝穿旧衣，还找出被遗忘的好衣服并请人稍作修改，说明他聪明（clever）。 【39题详解】 倒数第二段：“The emperor said to himself, ‘The boy is right, yet again.’” 这句话说明皇帝再次认同男孩的判断，体现了从想买新衣到认可旧衣更好的转变。 【40题详解】 全文核心是：皇帝的旧衣服在男孩的巧妙建议下变成了新潮流，旧衣胜过新衣。C选项“The Emperor’s Old Clothes: A New Fashion”既点明了旧衣服这一核心意象，又呼应了“复古即新时尚”的主题，最适合作为标题。 非选择题（共50分） 四、填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） A 请根据括号中所给的汉语写出单词，使短文意思完整正确。 The FIFA World Cup will bring football excitement all over the world this summer. “Suchao” has taken the lead and everyone has a great sense of ____41____ (骄傲) in their hometown.

You’ve probably done it yourself. Recent studies show that more than 70% of people check their phones when ____46____ (eat) out, while over 50% of families eat dinner with their phones at the table. It is quite common ____47____ (use) phones during dinner, but it’s a terrible habit. For most families, dinner is a time to get together and share stories from the day. But phone use at dinner gets in the way of real conversations and leads to less ____48____ (meaning) discussions. This can also hurt people’s feelings. It sends the message that the phone is ____49____ (interesting) than the other people at the table. It may also make it harder for you to eat ____50____ (proper), or even cause you to overeat since you aren’t paying attention to your food. Let’s put the phones away at mealtimes and focus on food and family instead. 【答案】46 eating 47. to use 48. meaningful 49. more interesting 50. properly 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了人们在用餐时频繁查看手机这一普遍但糟糕的习惯，阐述了吃饭时玩手机对家庭成员交流、情感伤害以及个人饮食健康带来的不良影响，呼吁大家在用餐时放下手机、专注于食物和亲情。 【46题详解】 句意：最近的研究表明，超过70%的人在外出就餐时会看手机，而超过50%的家庭在吃饭时把手机放在桌上。主语“people”与动词“eat”之间为主动关系，此处是“连词when+现在分词”构成的状语从句省略结构，表示“当……时”，故需用现在分词形式eating。 【47题详解】 句意：吃饭时用手机很常见，但这是一个很糟糕的习惯。本句是固定句型It is+adj.+to do sth.“做某事是……的”，其中“It”作形式主语，真正的主语应用动词不定式。 【48题详解】 句意：但吃饭时使用手机会妨碍真正的交谈，导致更少有意义的讨论。空格处作定语修饰其后的复数名词“discussions”，表示“有意义的”，需用名词“meaning”的形容词形式。 【49题详解】 句意：这传递了一个信息：手机比桌上的其他人更有趣。空后出现的比较连词“than”提示此处应用比较级，多音节形容词“interesting”的比较级需在前面加“more”。 【50题详解】 句意：它也可能让你更难正常吃饭，甚至导致你吃得过多，因为你没有注意自己的食物。空格处用以修饰前面的动词“eat”作状语，表示“合适地/得体地”，需用形容词“proper”的副词形式。 C 请阅读下面短文，从方框中选择适当的单词或短语填空（方框中有一个单词或短语是多余选项），使短文内容完整正确。 marks dangerous challenges useful is home to protecting As the longest river in Asia, the Yangtze River is one of the heartlands of Chinese civilization (文明).

Every time you use the Internet, send an email, play games, download (下载) a video or upload a photo, the information can be known to someone.

Here are some top tips for taking care of your digital footprint. Remember to log off (退出) when you leave a website, especially if you are using a shared computer.

Don’t tell anyone your passwords (密码) and don’t write them down in a place where others can see. Make them more difficult to remember by combining letters, numbers and punctuation marks. Make sure that your blogs or posts are seen only within your circle of friends. Nothing is more important than your privacy (隐私). Just a click on your apps and software can make your files private and safe. Remember to do this, especially after making any changes. Think twice before sharing details like your email, home address, WeChat ID, school or phone number with someone. If you want to post comments online, don’t use your real name. Instead you can invent a nickname. You can also use a picture instead of a real photo. As teenagers, if you read anything online that makes you feel down and worried, remember to ask for help. Tell an adult you trust. There are also ways to report unsuitable content online. Think about the future Remember your favourite websites by using the history button and the bookmark on your computer or mobile phones.

As the Earth’s climate changed, those forests gave way to open grasslands, and we had to change. We became bigger. Our many toes turned into single, strong hooves (蹄子) that were perfect for r____66____ across the fields. Our teeth changed, too. They were no longer f____67____ for soft leaves. Instead, they became strong enough to chew (嚼碎) hard grasses. Our brains grew as well, helping us discover danger and r____68____ paths. In this way, we would not get lost on the wide grasslands. We ran wild across North America, Asia and Europe. Then, about 5,500 years ago, something unusual happened. A group of humans in Central Asia tried to tame (驯服) our ancestors. From that moment on, our paths became tied together. At first, humans used us for meat and milk, as they did with other big grass-eating animals. However, they soon discovered that our speed and strength could help them travel and carry h____69____ things. Humans invented special equipment (设备) to help them ride and control us. W____70____ our help, humans could travel farther and faster than ever before. Over time, they didn’t just use us — they depended on us. The Greeks t____71____ us for sport, and the Romans used us for war, transport and farming. Along the Silk Roads, we helped carry silk, spices and ideas from one culture to another. In all these cases, we were more than just a____72____; we were engines of history. That continued until the 1800s, when another turning point came: industrialization (工业化). Steam engines (蒸汽机), cars, and machines began to take the r____73____ of us. Millions of us disappeared from cities and farms. Still, we never truly l____74____.

Shakespeare’s Hamlet is probably the most important play by the most important writer in English. ____16____ doesn’t know “To be, or not to be”, right? Having seen quite a few productions of Hamlet and read the play many times, I was full of ____17____—until the Peking Opera came to town! Dating back to the 18th century, Peking Opera has over two hundred years of history. Does this mean it’s easier than a Shakespeare play to understand? To find out the ____18____, I just had to go and see The Revenge of Prince Zidan (《王子复仇记》)—the Peking Opera version of Hamlet. Starting with an orchestra (管弦乐队) playing traditional Chinese instruments, the opera brought a ____19____ new sound to my Western ears. At first, I thought what I heard was a violin, but later I learnt that it was an instrument with two strings called jinghu. Then, seeing the main characters come on stage, I was surprised! The costumes and masks were amazing. How we feel about the show ____20____ not only the music but also the performances. The performers of course sang in Chinese, but the music, exaggerated (夸大的) movements and mime (哑剧) helped get the ____21____ across to the audience. The voices themselves sounded really unusual—some of the female voices were so ____22____ that I was sure they could break glass! And the stage was really simple: a decorated whip represented a horse, and a screen with Chinese characters, a study. Using such skills, the opera had turned a small stage into the whole universe. Easily my favourite part of the show was how the characters ____23____ on stage. I had never seen Prince Hamlet do a backflip, rolling (滚动) his body backward like a wheel! That was simply unbelievable. It was so dazzling and energetic that I wasn’t sure ____24____ the characters were performers or athletes! Everyone was clapping. Before experiencing The Revenge of Prince Zidan, I wondered if I would enjoy it. But, in fact, I was on the edge of my seat! Feeling the strong emotions of love, anger, fear and sadness in the performance, I could easily understand the theme of Hamlet. So, if you want to see a show that ____25____ music, singing, drama, poetry and costume design with amazing effect, The Revenge of Prince Zidan ticks all the right boxes! I would strongly recommend it to you. 16. A. Nobody B. Anybody C. Somebody D. Everybody 17. A. doubt B. envy C. surprise D. confidence 18. A. survey B. choice C. answer D. question 19.

We use encyclopaedias to find information about different subjects. Nowadays, most people use encyclopaedias online, but some still prefer to use paper encyclopaedias. They often come in several volumes (卷). China has a long history of creating encyclopaedias. One of the first encyclopaedias was the Huanglan (i.e. the Imperial Anthology). It was created around 220 CE. Another important encyclopaedia was the Yongle Dadian (i.e. the Yongle Encyclopaedia). The Yongle Dadian was completed in 1408 and had over 11,000 volumes. It is probably the largest encyclopaedia in history. Both the Huanglan and Yongle Dadian included important pieces of writing. These entries (条目) covered subjects like history, art and science. Encyclopaedias in other parts of the world also go back a long way in history. The earliest known encyclopaedias in Europe were written by the Greeks in the 4th century BCE. They were similar to early Chinese encyclopaedias because they included works by different scholars (学者). Centuries later, the editors of the first modern encyclopaedias, like the Encyclopaedia Britannica, organized the entries in alphabetical (按字母顺序的) order. People could use the first letter of a word to find a subject quickly and easily. Encyclopaedias have played an important role through history in recording and providing information. They are still a useful tool, and they help us learn about the world that we live in. 29. What can we learn about the Yongle Dadian? A. It had over 11,000 volumes. B. It was created around 220 CE. C. It was written by Greek scholars. D. It was organized in alphabetical order. 30. Why does the writer mention the Encyclopaedia Britannica? A. To give an example of alphabetical ordering. B. To show how old the Encyclopaedia Britannica is. C. To compare Chinese and European encyclopaedias. D. To explain why people prefer paper encyclopaedias. 31. What is the main purpose of the passage?

To explain why the Yongle Dadian was lost for years. C Imagine taking a long space trip with your pet. How do you both stay healthy in hard conditions like microgravity (微重力) and space radiation (辐射)? That’s where space-based animal research comes in. On Oct 31, China’s Shenzhou XXI mission launched (启动) with four mice aboard. This is the first time China has sent mice into space for experiments, following earlier missions with zebrafish and fruit flies, said Xinhua. After the mice return with the Shenzhou XX spaceship, scientists will further study how space influences their bodies. Not just any mouse can become an “astronaut”. According to China Daily, these mice were chosen for their excellent performance during 60 days of training. They passed physical tests, like riding an “exercise bike”, and cognitive (认知的) tests, such as solving mazes (迷宫). Mice are ideal for space research because they share genetic (基因的) similarities with humans, need little space and reproduce quickly, Huang Kun from the Chinese Academy of Sciences told Xinhua. Also, given their short lifespans (寿命), six months in space for a mouse is like over 10 years for a human. This allows scientists to predict long-term space effects on humans in just months, rather than years. Internationally, sending animals to space began in the late 1940s to see if any life could survive the high rocket speeds or the weightlessness and radiation in space, said CBC News. Today, studies go beyond survival. “The animal work is helping us understand how to live a better life in space, making it a healthier reality, as well as helping us study a few diseases that affect us down on Earth,” a scientist said. For example, space is ideal for studying osteoporosis (骨质疏松), as microgravity causes bone loss 12 times faster than on Earth, said UCLA Health. In 2017, a study with 40 mice on the International Space Station found a treatment that slowed bone loss and helped new bones grow, offering hope for keeping humans healthy both on Earth and in space. Moreover, when we live on other planets, we can’t live without animals. Besides being friends, animals help keep ecosystems stable (稳定的) by pollinating (授粉) plants, maintaining food chains and more. 32. How long did the space mouse “astronauts” receive training before the launch? A. For half a month. B. For two months. C. For six months. D. For over 10 years. 33. Why are mice ideal for space research? ①They take up very little space. ②They have similar genes to humans. ③They can live for over 10 years in space. ④They can produce new generations quickly. A. ①③④ B. ②③④ C. ①②④ D. ①②③ 34. How has the purpose of sending animals to space changed over time? A. From testing survival to learning to live better in space. B. From studying diseases to checking rocket speed safety. C. From improving life in space to finding new test animals. D. From training animals to choosing those with good qualities. 35. What is the writer’s view on space-based animal research? A. It mainly helps scientists learn how animals survive in space, not humans. B. It is too early to understand its real value, for further studies are necessary. C. It is valuable for improving human health and supporting future life in space. D. It is a doubtful practice, so much more time is still needed to get clear results. D The emperor’s birthday was coming up, and he was celebrating with a big party! He had the grand ballroom decorated and told his chefs to prepare a generous party. The emperor was very vain (虚荣的), so his biggest decision was what to wear. “Summon the finest designers!” he ordered, “I want the most fantastic outfit (服饰) of all, but make sure that the clothes can be seen!” A year ago, he had learned his lesson when two swindlers (骗子) had told him to wear an outfit that didn’t actually exist (存在)! Luckily, one boy was brave enough to point out that he wore nothing. Since then, the ruler made sure the things he bought were real. Three fashion designers soon arrived to show him their designs. “Look at this ruffled robe in green silk, trimmed with jewels from Bohemia! You will look exquisite!” said one designer. “This vest combines puffy sleeves with a bold diamond pattern-very stylish! This look will set a trend, trust me!” said the second designer. “For a classic look, you can’t beat this fancy tweed jacket adorned with delicate chains and accessories!” said another designer. “They are exactly what I had in mind!” the emperor decided. “I shall have all three!” Just then, the door opened with a bang. It was the kid who had once pointed out that the emperor had no clothes. The ruler had made him his minister (大臣), because he always told the truth! “Why buy new outfits?” the boy asked. “You have rooms full of clothes!” “But what will my subjects (臣民) say?” the emperor complained. “They will think I am short of money!” The boy waved his hand. “‘Outfit repeating’ is a hot trend right now. Trust me!” He went through the emperor’s room and quickly found some amazing clothes that the ruler had forgotten about. A local designer made a few changes to those clothes. The party was a hit! The music and food were amazing, but the emperor’s old clothes caused the most attraction. He received lots of praise from his guests! The emperor said to himself, “The boy is right, yet again.” His old clothes were better than the new ones. It was all about how you wore them! At the end of the evening, he admired himself in the mirror and thought, “Perhaps I shall be known as ‘the Emperor Who Wore Vintage (复古的)’ from now on!” 36. Why did the emperor want to make sure the clothes he bought were real? A. Because his last outfit didn’t look real at all. B. Because he was tricked by two swindlers a year ago. C. Because the boy advised him to check the clothes carefully. D. Because the three designers refused to show him real clothes. 37. What does the underlined sentence “It was all about how you wore them!” mean? A. Clothes from famous designers are not always real. B. Following fashion trends is the key to looking good. C. People should wear old clothes instead of buying new ones. D. The way you wear clothes matters more than what you wear. 38. Which of the following best describes the boy in the story? A. Brave but careless. B. Shy but careful. C. Kind and organized. D. Honest and clever. 39. Which of the following best shows the emperor’s change of mind? A. “They are exactly what I had in mind!” B. He ordered, “I want the most fantastic outfit of all.” C. The emperor said to himself, “The boy is right, yet again.” D. “But what will my subjects say?” the emperor complained. 40. Which of the following can be the best title for the story? A. The Emperor’s New Clothes B. Three Fashion Designers and a Big Party C. The Emperor’s Old Clothes: A New Fashion D.

It shows where you’ve been, how long you stayed and what you’ve been doing there. Every time you use the Internet, send an email, play games, download (下载) a video or upload a photo, the information can be known to someone. This shouldn’t necessarily be worrying, but you’d better be aware of your digital footprint and be careful to keep yourself safe when you are online. Here are some top tips for taking care of your digital footprint. Remember to log off (退出) when you leave a website, especially if you are using a shared computer. If you don’t, someone else can easily pretend (假装) to be you! When using Wi-Fi hotspots in coffee shops, libraries and other places, try not to log in apps that need personal information. Don’t tell anyone your passwords (密码) and don’t write them down in a place where others can see. Make them more difficult to remember by combining letters, numbers and punctuation marks. Make sure that your blogs or posts are seen only within your circle of friends. Nothing is more important than your privacy (隐私). Just a click on your apps and software can make your files private and safe. Remember to do this, especially after making any changes. Think twice before sharing details like your email, home address, WeChat ID, school or phone number with someone. If you want to post comments online, don’t use your real name. Instead you can invent a nickname. You can also use a picture instead of a real photo. As teenagers, if you read anything online that makes you feel down and worried, remember to ask for help. Tell an adult you trust. There are also ways to report unsuitable content online. Think about the future Remember your favourite websites by using the history button and the bookmark on your computer or mobile phones. This is a way that your digital footprint can work for you, but remember to clear your footprint regularly (定期地). All kinds of people are interested in your digital footprint. It’s now quite common for colleges, universities and bosses to check out the online information of possible candidates (申请人).

Our story began more than 50 million years ago, long before modern humans a____65____. Our earliest known ancestor (祖先) lived in thick forests. She was small — about the size of a fox. She had four toes on each front foot and three on each back foot. As the Earth’s climate changed, those forests gave way to open grasslands, and we had to change. We became bigger. Our many toes turned into single, strong hooves (蹄子) that were perfect for r____66____ across the fields. Our teeth changed, too. They were no longer f____67____ for soft leaves. Instead, they became strong enough to chew (嚼碎) hard grasses. Our brains grew as well, helping us discover danger and r____68____ paths. In this way, we would not get lost on the wide grasslands. We ran wild across North America, Asia and Europe. Then, about 5,500 years ago, something unusual happened. A group of humans in Central Asia tried to tame (驯服) our ancestors. From that moment on, our paths became tied together. At first, humans used us for meat and milk, as they did with other big grass-eating animals. However, they soon discovered that our speed and strength could help them travel and carry h____69____ things. Humans invented special equipment (设备) to help them ride and control us. W____70____ our help, humans could travel farther and faster than ever before. Over time, they didn’t just use us — they depended on us. The Greeks t____71____ us for sport, and the Romans used us for war, transport and farming. Along the Silk Roads, we helped carry silk, spices and ideas from one culture to another. In all these cases, we were more than just a____72____; we were engines of history. That continued until the 1800s, when another turning point came: industrialization (工业化). Steam engines (蒸汽机), cars, and machines began to take the r____73____ of us. Millions of us disappeared from cities and farms. Still, we never truly l____74____. Today, some of us help as therapy animals. Others compete in sports or races. Many of us appear in ceremonial (仪式的) events. Children learn to ride us in camps, where we teach balance, confidence and care. Our partnership, I believe, is far from over. 六、书面表达（满分15分） 75. 假如你是李华，你校英语俱乐部正在举办主题为“Creating Our Mini Corner”的征稿活动。请你根据征稿内容，用英语写一篇短文投稿。 注意： 1. 内容涵盖所有要点，全文连贯通顺； 2. 词数为80左右； 3. 文中不能出现真实姓名及学校名称。 ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
