二、阅读理解(共20小题;每小题2分,满分40分)
A
During the spring study tour, our vocational school visited Xi'an for two days. Before the trip, Ms. Zhao asked each group to prepare a short English introduction to one historical site. My group chose the Xi'an City Wall because it was easier for us to see how an old construction still lives in a modern city. We collected information, drew a simple route map and learned useful expressions such as “It has a history of...” and “It is the starting point of...”.
When we arrived, the wall looked much larger than the photos in our textbook. It stretched around the old city like a quiet guard. Our guide told us that visitors could walk or ride bikes on the wall. Instead of only taking pictures, we stopped at several points and compared the old gates with the busy streets outside. I found that history was not something far away. It was beside buses, shops and young people with mobile phones.
In the afternoon, each group gave its introduction in English. A classmate said, “The City Wall reminds me of the regular life and careful planning of ancient people.” Another student introduced the Silk Road and explained why Xi'an attracted traders and travelers from different places. Ms. Zhao praised us because we did not simply read facts from the Internet. We connected the facts with what we saw.
After the tour, I wrote in my travel diary that a historical site is not only an old building. It can be a bridge between the past and the present. If we visit it with questions, we may understand our city and culture more deeply.
The activity also encouraged students to ask practical questions before, during and after the visit. In this way, they did not see culture as fixed information, but as knowledge that could be observed, discussed and shared through clear English.
16. What did the writer's group prepare before the trip?
A. A plan to repair the old city gates.
B. A report about modern shopping streets.
C. A speech about foreign food cultures.
D. A short English introduction to the Xi'an City Wall.
17. Why did the writer feel history was not far away?
A. Because the guide spoke English very well.
B. Because the textbook had many colorful pictures.
C. Because all students rode bikes on the wall.
D. Because the wall stood beside modern city life.
18. The underlined word “It” in Paragraph 2 refers to _______.
A. the mobile phone
B. the route map
C. the Xi'an City Wall
D. the busy street
19. What did Ms. Zhao praise the students for?
A. Taking many beautiful photos.
B. Connecting facts with real experience.
C. Drawing the most colorful city map.
D. Reading facts quickly from the Internet.
20. What is the best title for the passage?

D. A Modern Shopping Day in Xi'an
B
In a small shop near a famous museum, Li Mei works as a salesperson of traditional Chinese handicrafts during weekends. The shop sells paper-cuttings, embroidery bags and small clay figures. Most visitors are interested in paper-cutting because the red designs are bright, light and easy to carry home. However, Li Mei knows that a good salesperson should not only say the price. She should also tell the cultural meaning behind the product.
One Saturday, a foreign visitor picked up a paper-cutting of two fish and asked, “Is it only used for decoration?” Li Mei smiled and explained that paper-cutting has a long history in China. People often put it on windows or doors during festivals. The fish design usually expresses the wish for a rich and happy life, because the Chinese word for fish sounds like the word for “plenty”. The visitor listened carefully and then asked how such a thin piece of paper could show so many details.
Li Mei took out a practice sheet and showed the basic steps. First, fold the paper. Next, draw a simple pattern. Then, cut slowly and keep both sides balanced. She also reminded the visitor to use scissors safely. The visitor tried a small flower pattern. It was not perfect, but he was excited because he had created a cultural product with his own hands.
At the end, the visitor bought several paper-cuttings and said he would introduce them to his family. Li Mei felt proud. She realized that introducing a handicraft in English was also a way to share living history. A small product could carry stories, skills and warm wishes across cultures.
The activity also encouraged students to ask practical questions before, during and after the visit. In this way, they did not see culture as fixed information, but as knowledge that could be observed, discussed and shared through clear English.
For vocational students, such practice is useful because it connects language learning with real communication. They can use simple but accurate expressions to introduce Chinese culture and show respect for different civilizations.
This experience reminds young learners that a meaningful trip needs preparation, observation and reflection. When they record facts and feelings together, their English writing becomes clearer and more convincing.
21. What does Li Mei do in the shop during weekends?
A. She repairs museum objects for visitors.
B. She sells and introduces traditional handicrafts.
C. She designs modern clothes for foreign visitors.
D. She teaches visitors history only from books.
22. Why are many visitors interested in paper-cutting?
A. It is cheaper than all other handicrafts.
B. Because it is bright, light and easy to take home.
C. It can only be used for festival decoration.
D. It has no cultural meaning at all.
23. The fish design in paper-cutting usually means _______.
A. safe travel
B. strong city walls
C. plenty and happiness
D. military defense power
24. What did Li Mei remind the visitor to do?
A. Buy all handicrafts in the shop.
B. Draw difficult patterns before cutting.
C. Use scissors safely.
D. Keep the paper wet while cutting.
25. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Salespeople only need to remember product prices.
B. Traditional products can help share culture.
C. Foreigners refuse hands-on cultural activities.
D. Paper-cutting is hard to introduce in English.
C
A travel agency in Nanjing designed a poster called “Discover the Great Wall with Us”. The poster was prepared for vocational school students who were learning how to describe historical sites in English. It did not simply list ticket prices. Instead, it introduced the Great Wall as a wonder of human construction and invited young people to explore its history, scenery and cultural meaning.
The poster explained that the Great Wall stretches across northern China. Some parts are restored and easy to walk on, while other parts keep a more ancient look. Badaling is convenient for first-time visitors because transport is easy and safety services are complete. Mutianyu is quieter and offers beautiful mountain views. Simatai is attractive to travelers who want to see a more original style. The agency advised students to choose a route according to their time, health condition and travel purpose.
The poster also gave practical language tips. Students could say, “It has a long history,” “It reminds people of ancient wisdom,” or “Autumn is the best season when the weather is clear.” These expressions helped them connect travel information with the grammar point of where, when and why. The poster asked students to write three sentences about a place they wanted to visit and explain their reasons.
After reading the poster, many students found that travel English was not only about buying tickets or booking hotels. It could help them introduce China to visitors in a confident and accurate way. A good introduction should include facts, feelings and useful advice. More importantly, it should show respect for history and culture.
The activity also encouraged students to ask practical questions before, during and after the visit. In this way, they did not see culture as fixed information, but as knowledge that could be observed, discussed and shared through clear English.
26. Who was the poster mainly prepared for?
A. Professional mountain climbers.
B. Vocational school students learning English.
C. Hotel sales staff in Nanjing.
D. Agency professional drivers.
27. Which part of the Great Wall is convenient for first-time visitors?
A. Mutianyu.
B. Badaling.
C. Simatai.
D. Wild unknown sections.
28. Why does the poster mention “where, when and why”?
A. To help students combine travel English with grammar.
B. To teach students how to book travel tickets.
C. To compare northern and southern scenery.
D. To guide workers to repair ancient walls.
29. According to the passage, a good introduction should include facts, feelings and _______.
A. expensive travel gifts
B. classic ancient poems
C. useful advice
D. hotel advertising content
30. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To introduce different parts of the Great Wall.
B. To show travel posters help students learn culture.
C. To advise students to travel alone.
D. To teach students to design posters.
D
When people talk about world wonders, the Terracotta Army and the Great Pyramid of Giza are often mentioned. They are in different countries and were built for different rulers, but both show the amazing ability of ancient people to plan and construct large projects. For students, comparing them is a useful way to learn cultural information and practise English expressions.
The Terracotta Army lies near Xi'an. It was created to guard the underground kingdom of Qinshihuang. More than 8,000 life-sized figures and horses have been found in the main areas. Their faces, hair styles and expressions are not exactly the same, which makes visitors feel that they are looking at real soldiers from history. Although the figures look gray today, researchers believe many of them were originally painted in bright colors.
The Great Pyramid of Giza stands on the edge of the desert near the Nile River. It was built as a resting place for an Egyptian king. Huge stone blocks were moved and put together with surprising accuracy. Unlike the Terracotta Army, the pyramid looks simple from far away, but its size and structure are brilliant examples of ancient engineering.
The two wonders remind us that culture is not locked in books. It can be seen in clay, stone, space and design. We do not need to decide which wonder is greater. Instead, we can ask better questions: Why did ancient people build them? What skills did they use? What can we learn from their respect for life, power and the future? Such questions make history alive.
The activity also encouraged students to ask practical questions before, during and after the visit. In this way, they did not see culture as fixed information, but as knowledge that could be observed, discussed and shared through clear English.
For vocational students, such practice is useful because it connects language learning with real communication. They can use simple but accurate expressions to introduce Chinese culture and show respect for different civilizations.
31. What is the passage mainly about?
A. A travel plan for Egypt and China.
B. Comparison of two ancient world wonders.
C. The history of modern museum construction.
D. An introduction of all global wonders.
32. What makes the Terracotta figures seem like real soldiers?
A. Their single gray color.
B. Their different faces and expressions.
C. Their location in desert areas.
D. Their huge stone building style.
33. The Great Pyramid of Giza was built as _______.
A. an ancient city wall
B. a royal resting place
C. a modern exhibition hall
D. an engineering training base
34. Which word is closest in meaning to “accuracy” in Paragraph 3?
A. carelessness
B. exactness
C. distance
D. beauty
35. What does the writer suggest students do when comparing wonders?
A. Ignore one of the two wonders.
B. Raise thoughtful questions to learn history.
C. Only remember building numbers.
D. Focus only on travel costs.

二、阅读理解(共20小题;每小题2分,满分40分)
A
During the spring study tour, our vocational school visited Xi'an for two days. Before the trip, Ms. Zhao asked each group to prepare a short English introduction to one historical site. My group chose the Xi'an City Wall because it was easier for us to see how an old construction still lives in a modern city. We collected information, drew a simple route map and learned useful expressions such as “It has a history of...” and “It is the starting point of...”.
When we arrived, the wall looked much larger than the photos in our textbook. It stretched around the old city like a quiet guard. Our guide told us that visitors could walk or ride bikes on the wall. Instead of only taking pictures, we stopped at several points and compared the old gates with the busy streets outside. I found that history was not something far away. It was beside buses, shops and young people with mobile phones.
In the afternoon, each group gave its introduction in English. A classmate said, “The City Wall reminds me of the regular life and careful planning of ancient people.” Another student introduced the Silk Road and explained why Xi'an attracted traders and travelers from different places. Ms. Zhao praised us because we did not simply read facts from the Internet. We connected the facts with what we saw.
After the tour, I wrote in my travel diary that a historical site is not only an old building. It can be a bridge between the past and the present. If we visit it with questions, we may understand our city and culture more deeply.
The activity also encouraged students to ask practical questions before, during and after the visit. In this way, they did not see culture as fixed information, but as knowledge that could be observed, discussed and shared through clear English.

【解析】16.原文定位:第一段第二、三句:Before the trip, Ms. Zhao asked each group to prepare a short English introduction to one historical site. My group chose the Xi'an City Wall.D选项完全贴合原文,作者小组出行前准备了西安城墙的英文简短介绍,为正确答案。A无中生有,原文未提及修缮古城门的计划;B偷换概念,小组准备的是历史景点介绍,并非现代商业街报告;C无中生有,全文没有涉及外国饮食文化的演讲内容。
17.原文定位:第二段第三句:Our guide told us that visitors could walk or ride bikes on the wall.D选项匹配原文细节,学生们可以在城墙上骑行,近距离接触古迹,因此觉得历史并不遥远,为正确答案。
18.原文定位:第二段第一、五句:When we arrived, the wall looked much larger than the photos in our textbook... It was beside buses, shops and young people with mobile phones.C选项为代词指代题正确答案,上下文全程围绕西安城墙展开,It指代前文的the Xi'an City Wall。A、D范围错位,手机、繁华街道都是现代生活的细节,并非本段核心主体;B张冠李戴,路线图是出行前准备的物品,和第二段场景无关。
19.原文定位:第三段最后一句:Ms. Zhao praised us because we did not simply read facts from the Internet. We connected the facts with what we saw.B选项精准对应原文,老师表扬学生没有照搬网络内容,而是结合实地所见的真实体验介绍景点。A无中生有,原文仅提到学生没有只拍照,拍照多不是受表扬的原因;C无中生有,文中只提及画了简易路线图,未夸赞地图精美;D正反混淆,老师不认可直接照搬网络事实的行为。
20.原文定位:第四段第二句:It can be a bridge between the past and the present.A选项精准概括全文主旨,文章以西安城墙研学经历,讲述城墙是连接过去与现在的文化桥梁。B片面,骑行只是旅行小细节,不是文章主旨;C、D无中生有,全文未提及城墙周边美食、西安购物相关内容。

In a small shop near a famous museum, Li Mei works as a salesperson of traditional Chinese handicrafts during weekends. The shop sells paper-cuttings, embroidery bags and small clay figures. Most visitors are interested in paper-cutting because the red designs are bright, light and easy to carry home. However, Li Mei knows that a good salesperson should not only say the price. She should also tell the cultural meaning behind the product.
One Saturday, a foreign visitor picked up a paper-cutting of two fish and asked, “Is it only used for decoration?” Li Mei smiled and explained that paper-cutting has a long history in China. People often put it on windows or doors during festivals. The fish design usually expresses the wish for a rich and happy life, because the Chinese word for fish sounds like the word for “plenty”. The visitor listened carefully and then asked how such a thin piece of paper could show so many details.
Li Mei took out a practice sheet and showed the basic steps. First, fold the paper. Next, draw a simple pattern. Then, cut slowly and keep both sides balanced. She also reminded the visitor to use scissors safely. The visitor tried a small flower pattern. It was not perfect, but he was excited because he had created a cultural product with his own hands.
At the end, the visitor bought several paper-cuttings and said he would introduce them to his family. Li Mei felt proud. She realized that introducing a handicraft in English was also a way to share living history. A small product could carry stories, skills and warm wishes across cultures.
The activity also encouraged students to ask practical questions before, during and after the visit. In this way, they did not see culture as fixed information, but as knowledge that could be observed, discussed and shared through clear English.
For vocational students, such practice is useful because it connects language learning with real communication. They can use simple but accurate expressions to introduce Chinese culture and show respect for different civilizations.
This experience reminds young learners that a meaningful trip needs preparation, observation and reflection. When they record facts and feelings together, their English writing becomes clearer and more convincing.

A travel agency in Nanjing designed a poster called “Discover the Great Wall with Us”. The poster was prepared for vocational school students who were learning how to describe historical sites in English. It did not simply list ticket prices. Instead, it introduced the Great Wall as a wonder of human construction and invited young people to explore its history, scenery and cultural meaning.
The poster explained that the Great Wall stretches across northern China. Some parts are restored and easy to walk on, while other parts keep a more ancient look. Badaling is convenient for first-time visitors because transport is easy and safety services are complete. Mutianyu is quieter and offers beautiful mountain views. Simatai is attractive to travelers who want to see a more original style. The agency advised students to choose a route according to their time, health condition and travel purpose.
The poster also gave practical language tips. Students could say, “It has a long history,” “It reminds people of ancient wisdom,” or “Autumn is the best season when the weather is clear.” These expressions helped them connect travel information with the grammar point of where, when and why. The poster asked students to write three sentences about a place they wanted to visit and explain their reasons.
After reading the poster, many students found that travel English was not only about buying tickets or booking hotels. It could help them introduce China to visitors in a confident and accurate way. A good introduction should include facts, feelings and useful advice. More importantly, it should show respect for history and culture.
The activity also encouraged students to ask practical questions before, during and after the visit. In this way, they did not see culture as fixed information, but as knowledge that could be observed, discussed and shared through clear English.
26. Who was the poster mainly prepared for?
A. Professional mountain climbers.
B. Vocational school students learning English.
C. Hotel sales staff in Nanjing.
D. Agency professional drivers.
27. Which part of the Great Wall is convenient for first-time visitors?

A. To help students combine travel English with grammar.
B. To teach students how to book travel tickets.
C. To compare northern and southern scenery.
D. To guide workers to repair ancient walls.
29. According to the passage, a good introduction should include facts, feelings and _______.
A. expensive travel gifts
B. classic ancient poems
C. useful advice
D. hotel advertising content
30. What is the main purpose of the passage?

When people talk about world wonders, the Terracotta Army and the Great Pyramid of Giza are often mentioned. They are in different countries and were built for different rulers, but both show the amazing ability of ancient people to plan and construct large projects. For students, comparing them is a useful way to learn cultural information and practise English expressions.
The Terracotta Army lies near Xi'an. It was created to guard the underground kingdom of Qinshihuang. More than 8,000 life-sized figures and horses have been found in the main areas. Their faces, hair styles and expressions are not exactly the same, which makes visitors feel that they are looking at real soldiers from history. Although the figures look gray today, researchers believe many of them were originally painted in bright colors.
The Great Pyramid of Giza stands on the edge of the desert near the Nile River. It was built as a resting place for an Egyptian king. Huge stone blocks were moved and put together with surprising accuracy. Unlike the Terracotta Army, the pyramid looks simple from far away, but its size and structure are brilliant examples of ancient engineering.
The two wonders remind us that culture is not locked in books. It can be seen in clay, stone, space and design. We do not need to decide which wonder is greater. Instead, we can ask better questions: Why did ancient people build them? What skills did they use? What can we learn from their respect for life, power and the future? Such questions make history alive.
The activity also encouraged students to ask practical questions before, during and after the visit. In this way, they did not see culture as fixed information, but as knowledge that could be observed, discussed and shared through clear English.
For vocational students, such practice is useful because it connects language learning with real communication. They can use simple but accurate expressions to introduce Chinese culture and show respect for different civilizations.
31. What is the passage mainly about?
A. A travel plan for Egypt and China.
B. Comparison of two ancient world wonders.
C. The history of modern museum construction.
D. An introduction of all global wonders.
32. What makes the Terracotta figures seem like real soldiers?
A. Their single gray color.
B. Their different faces and expressions.
C. Their location in desert areas.
D. Their huge stone building style.
33. The Great Pyramid of Giza was built as _______.
A. an ancient city wall
B. a royal resting place
C. a modern exhibition hall
D. an engineering training base
34. Which word is closest in meaning to “accuracy” in Paragraph 3?
A. carelessness
B. exactness
C. distance
D. beauty
35. What does the writer suggest students do when comparing wonders?
A. Ignore one of the two wonders.
B. Raise thoughtful questions to learn history.
C. Only remember building numbers.
D. Focus only on travel costs.

【答案】46.where 47.travelled/traveled 48.was 49.to learn 50.Amazingly 51.originally 52.of 53.visitors 54.to describe 55.meaningful
【导语】本文围绕历史名胜或文化产品介绍展开,重点考查定语从句、时态语态、非谓语动词、词性转换和固定搭配。
【详解】
46. where
考查定语从句。先行词是表地点的名词 a city,且从句“many students want to visit”成分完整,缺少地点状语,因此用关系副词 where 引导,在从句中作地点状语。
47. travelled/traveled
考查一般过去时。句中时间状语“Last summer(去年夏天)”是一般过去时的标志,谓语动词需用过去式。travel 的过去式有两种拼写形式:travelled(英式)/ traveled(美式),均正确。
48. was
考查一般过去时和主谓一致。句子主语为“The first place”,是单数名词;且全文讲述去年的旅行经历,时态为一般过去时,因此be动词用was。
49. to learn
考查非谓语动词。固定句型:the right place to do sth.(做某事的好地方),不定式 to do 作后置定语,修饰名词place,故填to learn。
50. Amazingly
考查副词作状语。此处修饰整个句子“no two faces were exactly the same”,需用副词形式。形容词amazing的副词为amazingly,意为“令人惊讶地”,句首首字母需大写。
51. originally
考查副词用法。此处修饰动词painted(粉刷、上色),需用副词。形容词original的副词形式是originally,意为“起初、原本”,贴合句意:这些雕像原本涂有鲜艳的色彩。
52. of
考查固定搭配。remind sb. of sth. 为固定短语,意为“使某人想起某物”,是高频考点固定搭配,故填of。
53. visitors
考查名词复数。visitor为可数名词,此处表示“来自世界各地的游客”,是泛指概念,需用复数形式visitors。
54. to describe
考查非谓语动词。固定用法:use sth. to do sth.(用某物做某事),此处表示“用句型来描述这座城市”,不定式作目的状语,故填to describe。
55. meaningful
考查词性转换(形容词)。and连接两个并列的形容词作表语,前文为形容词clear,因此空处需填形容词。名词meaning的形容词形式为meaningful,意为“有意义的”。
五、书面表达(满分20分)
假如你是李华,你的外国朋友Tom想了解一处中国历史名胜。请你用英语写一封邮件,介绍你想推荐的名胜。内容包括:
1. 名胜名称及位置;
