The city's topography,where the Yangtze and Jialing rivers converge,has fundamentally shaped its character.Unlike cities where the main mode of transport is the horizontal movement of cars and buses, Chongqing's identity is built around verticality.Its public transport system is legendary,featuring the world's largest fleet of monorails that snake through and even through apartment buildings.The"Liziba Station"is a prime example of this,where the light rail train passes directly through a residential block,a phenomenon that never fails to impress tourists and indicate the city's pragmatic,space-saving solutions. This isn't just a fancy feature,it's a necessity bomn from the city's geography. The city's history is as layered as its streets.As a wartime capital during the Second Sino-Japanese War,it saw an immense influx of people and industry,transforming it from a regional hub into a national powerhouse.This period left an indelible mark,creating a culture of resilience and innovation.The spiit of the people,often described as"Ha Pi"(happy and carefree yet tough),is a direct reflection of a life lived on steep slopes and amidst challenging conditions.One might find themselves admiring a hotpot restaurant perched precariously on a hillside,its patrons enjoying a meal that was originally a simple, hearty dish for laborers.This opportunity to experience a meal with such historical depth is something you wouldn't find in a more sanitized,downtown commercial center. However,this dramatic growth hasn't come without disappointments.The city's structure,while fascinating,can be disorienting for newcomers.A road map is nearly useless,as streets exist on multiple levels.A street-level entrance to a building might actually be the 10th floor on the other side.The sheer number of stairs,or"bubans,"can be physically challenging.Furthermore,the rapid modemnization has led to the demolition of many older,historic neighborhoods,a fact that disappoints those who appreciate the city's original,unpolished charm.Tourists who fancy a walk through ancient alleys often find themselves instead in a crowded square surrounded by gleaming high-rises.Afterwards,they may feel that the soul of the old city is being lost amidst the new. Despite these challenges,Chongqing's distinctive character remains a powerful draw.It is a city that aggressively refuses to be boring.It offers a masterclass in how geography and human will can co-create a unique urban environment.For any traveler seeking something beyond the ordinary,a tip downtown in Chongqing is not just a visit,it's an experience that will fundamentally change how you perceive what a city can be. ()1.What is the main pupose of the passage? A.To discuss the disadvantages of Chongqing's rapid modernization. B.To illustrate how Chongqing's geography and history have shaped its unique character. C.To compare Chongqing's public transport with that of Beijing and Shanghai. D.To encourage tourists to visit the historical neighborhoods of Chongqing.

A.It is based on a sprawling network of buses and cars. B.It lacks the efficiency and innovation of other cities. C.It is a direct result of the city's geographical constraints. D.It mainly focuses on connecting the downtown area with the suburbs ()4.According to the passage,which of the following is a potential DISAPPOINTMENT for tourists? A.The city's famous spicy hotpot. B.The experience of riding a monorail through a building. C.The disappearance of some old neighborhoods D.The convenience provided by the public transport system. ()5.What does the author imply about the spinit of the people in Chongqing? A.It is primarily influenced by the city's modern economy. B.It is a reflection of the challenging physical environment. C.It makes them less welcoming to newcomers. D.It is best experienced in the downtown commercial areas. Passage 2 When we imagine the geography of our planet,we tend to think of continents as stable,permanent features of the Earth.This view,however,is a dramatic oversimplification.The theory of plate tectonics, which revolutionized earth science in the mid-20th century,indicates that the Earth's outer shell is divided into several large plates that are in constant,albeit incredibly slow,motion.The movement of these plates is the fundamental force behind earthquakes,volcanic eruptions,and the creation of mountain ranges, constantly reshaping the structure of our world. The process begins deep within the Earth's mantle,where convection currents-cycles of hot rock rising and cooler rock sinking-generate immense force.These forces cause the tectonic plates to move at a rate of a few centimeters per year,roughly the same speed at which fingemails grow.Despite this seemingly slow speed,the energy accumulated over millions of years can be released catastrophically.One of the most well-known examples of this is the "Ring of Fire,"a path along the Pacific Ocean characterized by active volcanoes and frequent earthquakes.This zone,which features heavily in geological studies,is a direct result of the Pacific Plate colliding with and being subducted(pushed under)by surrounding plates. The consequences of these movements are visible in some of the world's most awe-inspiring landscapes. The majestic Himalayan mountain range,for instance,was formed over 50 million years ago when the Indian Plate collided with the Eurasian Plate.This collision,which continues to this day,is a testament to the immense power of plate tectonics.One of the most interesting things about this process is that it doesn't just create mountains,it creates entire ecosystems and influences climate patterns,affecting the position of rivers and rain shadows.Tourists who admire the towering peaks of the Himalayas are,in a very real sense,admiring the product of a planetary-scale geological event that is still in progress. However,our understanding of these movements is not without its challenges.The study of ancient plate movements,known as paleogeography,relies on indirect evidence,such as the magnetic properties of rocks and the distribution of fossils.For example,the discovery of identical fossil species on continents that are now separated by vast oceans,like the Mesosaurus in South America and Afica,provided crucial early evidence for the theory of continental drift,indicating that these landmasses were once joined together.The fact that these ancient organisms couldn't possibly have crossed the Atlantic Ocean strongly supported the idea of a supercontinent,which scientists have named Pangaea.This opportunity to piece together the history of our planet from such indirect clues is a fascinating aspect of the field While the movement of plates might seem like an abstract concept,it has a profound and direct impact on our daily lives.It dictates where we build our cities,how we construct our buildings,and even the distribution of natural resources like oil and minerals.Scientists are constantly developing new models to better predict tectonic activity,hoping that one day we can more accurately foreshadow the destructive potential of earthquakes.The study of plate tectonics,therefore,is not merely an academic exercise;it is a crucial endeavor for understanding the past,navigating the present,and preparing for the future of our dynamic planet. ()1.What is the main topic of the passage? A.The theory of continental drift. B.The structure of the Earth's mantle C.The mechanisms and consequences of plate tectonics. D.The formation of the Himalayan mountain range. ()2.The word "subducted"in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to. A.pulled to the surface B.pushed up into the sky C.forced under another plate D.separated into two parts ()3.Which of the following does the author cite as evidence for the theory of continental drift? A.The existence of the "Ring of Fire". B.The formation of the Himalayas. C.The discovery of similar fossils on different continents. D.The slow movement of the Earth's tectonic plates. ()4.What can be inferred about the author's attitude towards the study of plate tectonics? A.It is an outdated and oversimplified theory. B.It is vitally important for understanding many aspects of our world. C.It is an interesting but impractical area of study D.It is primarily valuable for predicting volcanic eruptions. ()5.The most important impact of plate tectonics on human life,as implied in the passage,is its role in. A.creating beautiful mountain ranges for tourism B.determining the distribution of fossil fuels C.allowing for the prediction of all earthquakes D.forming the landforms that shape human civilization 二、完形填空 It was a perfect summer day when my family and I decided to explore the old districts of our city.I had always been fascinated by the idea of a"lost city,"a place where the echoes of the past could still be heard.Our destination was the"Old Dragon Street,"an area once famous for its traditional architecture and bustling markets but now 1. by modemn high-rises.As we walked,my father,a history professor,2.on the changes."You can still see the 3. of the old street in the layout," he said,pointing to a narrow pathway between two modern buildings."The city's 4. is like a palimpsest,with newer layers written over the old."

LIDAR is a remote sensing method that uses laser light to map the ground,even through dense forest canopy.In 2012,an aerial LIDAR survey of a remote area of the Honduran rainforest indicated something remarkable:the signature of man-made structures hidden beneath the jungle.This was a major opportunity for archaeologists.A ground expedition was quickly organized.The team had to transport all their equipment by helicopter and mule,trekking through extremely difficult terrain.After a long and dangerous joumey,they found itstone foundations,pyramids,and intricate carvings.One of the most interesting features of these ruins was the collection of stone sculptures,including a magnificent head of a jaguar-like figure.For the scientists,this was not a disappointment,it was the discovery of a lifetime The discovery quickly became a global headline.News articles featured the story of the "lost city," describing the structure of the ruins and the artifacts found there.The site,however,remains a highly sensitive area.Its exact position is kept a secret to protect it from looters.Scientists are now focused on careful excavation and preservation,fearing that a sudden influx of tourism would damage this fragile piece of history.The city,it seems,prefers to keep its secrets safe,even after being rediscovered. 1.What is the "City of the Monkey God,"and how was it initially regarded by explorers? 2.What technological tool was crucial in finding the city,and how did it work? 3.Why was the discovery not a disappointment for the scientists? 4.What measures have been taken to protect the newly discovered site? 5.According to the passage,what is the current focus of scientific work at the site? 四、短文填空 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 Last weekend,I decided to go 1. to see a new art exhibition.The gallery was a modern glass and steel 2. which I really 3. for its bold design.However,the exhibition itself was a bit ofa 4.

In Hangzhou,don't just take a walk by West Lake.Instead,rent a boat and visit Xiao Yingzhou (Three Pools Mirroring the Moon).The lake itself is a living historical poem.The opportunity to see the moon reflected in the lake is an experience that the poet Su Dongpo admired over a thousand years ago Compared to the controlled,contained history of Yu Garden,the history of West Lake is vast,natural,and romantic. My advice is to start with the refined history of Shanghai's garden,and then enjoy the open,poetic history of Hangzhou's lake.The contrast will give you a richer picture of Chinese culture. I hope these suggestions help.I'm sure you'll have a wonderful time discovering the old soul of these new cities!
