Many cities have achieved great results, and the following four are common successful examples. Wuhan, Hubei Province Known as the “City of Lakes”, Wuhan, one of China’s first national pilot sponge cities, once suffered serious seasonal waterlogging. After years of development, it has built vast green roofs, hundreds of kilometers of permeable (多孔的) pavements and thousands of rain gardens, while using its lakes and wetlands to store and purify rainwater. Now, waterlogging has been greatly reduced, and reused rainwater is used to water green belts, clean roads and fill up lakes, saving abundant fresh water yearly. Xiamen, Fujian Province Xiamen, a beautiful coastal garden city and early sponge city pilot, perfectly integrates its coastal geographical features with sponge city construction. It has built coastal rain gardens, eco-friendly river banks and green permeable paths, which effectively prevent urban flooding while protecting the coastal ecosystem. The city also integrates sponge facilities into urban landscapes, making these rainwater treatment projects both practical and beautiful, adding more scenic spots to the city. Chongqing, China Chongqing, a typical mountain city and early sponge city pilot, has developed a practical construction system to solve its seasonal waterlogging problems caused by heavy rain. It builds green roofs, permeable roads and hillside rain gardens to collect, absorb and guide rainwater step by step. Now the city can effectively control heavy rains, and purified rainwater is reused for greening and road cleaning, making the mountain city safer and greener. Suining, Sichuan Province Suining, a model sponge city in central Sichuan, has developed a special way to solve its past problems of water shortage and seasonal waterlogging. It makes use of local ponds, rivers and wetlands to build a complete rainwater collection and storage system, while adding sunken green spaces and grassy ditches in communities and schools. Now, the city can effectively control and reuse most rainwater, and its successful experience has been promoted across China. These four cities show the great power of the sponge city idea. Through different practical methods, they all have solved urban water problems well and made their cities greener and more livable. 21．What problem did Wuhan mainly solve by building itself into a sponge city? A．Water shortage. B．Urban waterlogging. C．Rainwater pollution. D．Coastal flooding. 22．If a coastal city wants to protect its ecosystem while building a sponge city, which city can they learn from? A．Wuhan. B．Xiamen. C．Suining. D．Chongqing. 23．What is the main purpose of the passage? A．To introduce four sponge city examples in China. B．To call on people to protect the environment in cities. C．To explain how to build a sponge city in coastal areas. D．To compare the differences between four Chinese cities. B Welcome to the most friendly museum in London. In most museums, there is no shouting and no running, and you must not touch anything. But the Science Museum is different...It is noisy! People talk about what they can see and do here, and there are some very noisy machines as well. If you want answers to all your questions about science, this is the right place for you. I like to visit the rooms on the second and third floors. You can learn about communications and the environment as well as maths, physics and chemistry. For example, you can find out how people dig coal from the ground and use it to create energy. And in one room they even explain how X-rays let you see inside your body. The Launchpad on the third floor is the most popular room, and it is my favourite too because there are lots of physics experiments. For example, if you want to fill a bag with sand, you have to control a kind of truck on wheels and move it into the correct place. You can also find out how people travel into space and back again. On the fourth and fifth floors, you can learn about what medicine was like in the past. If you compare the medicine of the past with the medicine of today, you will feel very lucky next time you visit a doctor! The Science Museum is interesting for people of all ages. You can always find something new and have a wonderful time there. The museum is free to enter, so you can go in for a few minutes or stay all day. It is open daily from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. So if you ever go to London, make sure you visit the Science Museum. It is my favourite museum in the whole world! 24．What makes the Science Museum different from most other museums? A．It is noisy inside. B．It is open every day. C．It is popular with all children. D．It is free to get in for students only. 25．What can visitors learn on the fourth and fifth floors? A．How to dig coal and create energy. B．What medicine was like in the past. C．What makes people travel into space. D．How X-rays help see inside the body. 26．What is the writer’s purpose of writing the passage? A．To advise people to visit the Science Museum. B．To compare the Science Museum with other museums. C．To explain the science experiments shown in the museum. D．To introduce the most popular room in the Science Museum. C Walking on Guanqian Street in Macao, you can see tourists buying gifts in shops down the street. Members of tour groups are taking photos in front of the beautiful wall paintings on each side. Fashionable cafes along the street are crowded with coffee lovers. To attract (吸引) more tourists and achieve new development of cultural tourism, what special efforts has been the Macao Special Administrative Region (SAR) government making? The Macao SAR government is eyeing its rich historic heritage (遗产) to attract more tourists. It is trying to revive historic areas that few tourists know. “The government has successfully developed several special places for tourists in recent years.” says Cheung Kin-chung, president of China Travel Service (Macao) Lid. Taking the Lai Chi Vun shipyards as an example, Cheung says, “Shipbuilding was once very important in Macao’s development. Although the industry of building ships has declined (衰退), the old factories offer a chance to show Macao’s history.” Now they have become a living museum. There are exhibitions about the history of the shipyards. But the shipyards are also a place where local musicians perform. Tourists can both learn about history and experience modern life there. Macao is also building itself as a “City of Performing Arts”. This has become a new step on its way to developing cultural tourism. With many nice places for concerts and performances, Macao holds lots of art events for tourists around the world to enjoy this year. During the Chinese Theater Cultural Festival, they could get a taste of traditional Chinese operas like “The Legend of the White Snake”. As a place where Chinese culture meets foreign cultures, Macao provides varied cultural experiences. Supported by the Macao SAR government, “Fado Nights” concerts were held from March 29th to May 5th. It allows tourists to enjoy Fado, a traditional Portuguese musical form. In the concerts of the festival “Encounter in Macao”, Fado is included into Chinese music, creating a new form of performance. This art form shows tourists a mixed culture of China and Western countries. In addition, the Macao SAR government has offered some special travel products and services. Together with travel companies, it has introduced many new guided tours for tourists to discover Macao. According to different festivals and events, the government has designed “My Treats For You” of special travel offers, including cheaper plane tickets, hotel rooms, as well as show tickets. 27．How does the writer lead in the topic of the passage? A．By comparing facts. B．By listing numbers. C．By giving an example. D．By showing an opinion. 28．What does the underlined word “revive” probably mean in Paragraph 3? A．Make a report on.

Xuankong Temple is no doubt one of the most wonderful ones of such a saying. Made of wood, tiles and stones during the mid-Northern Wei Dynasty, the temple is made up of two three-story pavilions (亭阁) and a yard linked by stairs and steps. The stairs and steps are lined along the surface of a sheer cliff (陡峭的悬崖) rising 50 meters above a stream at the foot of the mountain. Seen from below, Xuankong Temple, which means “temple hanging in the sky”, appears terribly dangerous. It is supported only by a few thin stanchions (支柱) standing on protruding (伸出的) rocks. For that reason, it was selected by Time magazine as one of the 10 most dangerous buildings in the world in 2010. Sun Shupeng, an engineer, however, disagreed with the idea that Xuankong Temple is a dangerous structure. “The temple has been standing firmly on the Hengshan cliff for more than 1,500 years and is still kept complete and strong” he said. “A study of the temple is an exploration of an ancient Chinese engineering wonder.” Sun said the stanchions were only added recently as a comfort to visitors. About twenty thin square beams (梁) support most of the building’s weight. A number of large, deep holes were dug into the cliff’s surface, and two-thirds of the length of the beams together with wedges (楔子) were driven into each one. In addition to its strong building, local people have found that the part of cliff above the temple acts like an umbrella to protect the temple from rain and sunlight. In summer, when the daytime is the longest, the temple only receives about two hours of direct sunlight a day during the morning. The narrow valley it faces also changes the direction of airflow. The wind usually blows toward the cliff facing the temple, but rarely reaches the temple. 56．Where is Xuankong Temple built? 57．Why was Xuankong Temple one of the 10 most dangerous buildings? 58．How long has Xuankong Temple been standing firmly on the cliff? 59．What protects the temple from rain and sunlight? 60．Do you think Xuankong Temple is a dangerous building? Why or why not? 七、书面表达（共1小题; 满分20分） 61．假设你是李华，交换生Alice暑期将来中国游学。请根据她的书信内容，用英文写一封回信。 Dear Li Hua, I am really excited to tell you I will have a study tour in China.

In most museums, there is no shouting and no running, and you must not touch anything. But the Science Museum is different...It is noisy! People talk about what they can see and do here, and there are some very noisy machines as well. If you want answers to all your questions about science, this is the right place for you. I like to visit the rooms on the second and third floors. You can learn about communications and the environment as well as maths, physics and chemistry. For example, you can find out how people dig coal from the ground and use it to create energy. And in one room they even explain how X-rays let you see inside your body. The Launchpad on the third floor is the most popular room, and it is my favourite too because there are lots of physics experiments. For example, if you want to fill a bag with sand, you have to control a kind of truck on wheels and move it into the correct place. You can also find out how people travel into space and back again. On the fourth and fifth floors, you can learn about what medicine was like in the past. If you compare the medicine of the past with the medicine of today, you will feel very lucky next time you visit a doctor! The Science Museum is interesting for people of all ages. You can always find something new and have a wonderful time there. The museum is free to enter, so you can go in for a few minutes or stay all day. It is open daily from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. So if you ever go to London, make sure you visit the Science Museum.

In the concerts of the festival “Encounter in Macao”, Fado is included into Chinese music, creating a new form of performance. This art form shows tourists a mixed culture of China and Western countries. In addition, the Macao SAR government has offered some special travel products and services. Together with travel companies, it has introduced many new guided tours for tourists to discover Macao.

Xuankong Temple is no doubt one of the most wonderful ones of such a saying. Made of wood, tiles and stones during the mid-Northern Wei Dynasty, the temple is made up of two three-story pavilions (亭阁) and a yard linked by stairs and steps. The stairs and steps are lined along the surface of a sheer cliff (陡峭的悬崖) rising 50 meters above a stream at the foot of the mountain. Seen from below, Xuankong Temple, which means “temple hanging in the sky”, appears terribly dangerous. It is supported only by a few thin stanchions (支柱) standing on protruding (伸出的) rocks. For that reason, it was selected by Time magazine as one of the 10 most dangerous buildings in the world in 2010. Sun Shupeng, an engineer, however, disagreed with the idea that Xuankong Temple is a dangerous structure. “The temple has been standing firmly on the Hengshan cliff for more than 1,500 years and is still kept complete and strong” he said. “A study of the temple is an exploration of an ancient Chinese engineering wonder.” Sun said the stanchions were only added recently as a comfort to visitors. About twenty thin square beams (梁) support most of the building’s weight. A number of large, deep holes were dug into the cliff’s surface, and two-thirds of the length of the beams together with wedges (楔子) were driven into each one. In addition to its strong building, local people have found that the part of cliff above the temple acts like an umbrella to protect the temple from rain and sunlight. In summer, when the daytime is the longest, the temple only receives about two hours of direct sunlight a day during the morning. The narrow valley it faces also changes the direction of airflow. The wind usually blows toward the cliff facing the temple, but rarely reaches the temple. 56．Where is Xuankong Temple built? 57．Why was Xuankong Temple one of the 10 most dangerous buildings? 58．How long has Xuankong Temple been standing firmly on the cliff? 59．What protects the temple from rain and sunlight? 60．Do you think Xuankong Temple is a dangerous building? Why or why not? 七、书面表达（共1小题; 满分20分） 61．假设你是李华，交换生Alice暑期将来中国游学。请根据她的书信内容，用英文写一封回信。 Dear Li Hua, I am really excited to tell you I will have a study tour in China.

For users who don’t want them, too much space on the phone ________. A．takes away B．is taken away C．takes up D．is taken up 【答案】D 【详解】句意：现在手机上有太多的应用软件了。对于不想要它们的使用者来说，手机上太多的空间被占用了。 takes away拿走；is taken away被拿走；takes up占用；is taken up被占用。根据前文“there are too many apps on the phone”可知，此处指空间被占用，需用take up。主语space与动词take up之间是被动关系，需用被动语态be done结构。 3．—I want to know________.     —Perhaps Huishan Ancient Town is a good place to go. A．when can I buy some nice Wuxi snacks B．when I can buy some nice Wuxi snacks C．where can I buy some nice Wuxi snacks D．where I can buy some nice Wuxi snacks 【答案】D 【详解】句意：——我想知道在哪里能买到美味的无锡小吃。——也许惠山古镇是个好去处。 宾语从句需用陈述语序，即“引导词 + 主语 + 谓语”，排除A、C两项；根据答语中提到的是地点“惠山古镇”，可知询问的是地点，应用where引导宾语从句。 4．________ is necessary for us ________ a balanced diet to keep healthy.

China is one of the countries with the ________ populations in the world. A．What are; most B．What is; largest C．How many are; most D．How many are; largest 【答案】B 【详解】句意：——中国的人口是多少？——14亿多。中国是世界上人口最多的国家之一。 What are是什么；most最多的；What is是什么；largest最大的；How many are有多少。询问人口数量的固定句型为“What is the population of…”，population视作单数，be动词应用is；修饰人口多少要用large，the largest populations表示“最多的人口”，符合语境。故填What is；largest。 6．—The police gave me a(an) ________ to stop on the parking lane, but I didn’t understand it and drove away. —That’s too bad.

Good learning methods and enough rest also play an important role, A．That’s not the case B．I couldn’t agree more C．It sounds like fun D．Don’t mention it 【答案】A 【详解】句意：——很多人认为取得高分只靠花大量时间看书。——事实并非如此。好的学习方法和充足休息也起到重要作用。 That’s not the case事实并非如此；I couldn’t agree more我完全同意；It sounds like fun听起来很有趣；Don’t mention it不客气。后句反驳前一句的观点，说明前面说法不对，应填That’s not the case。 二、完形填空（共10小题; 每小题1分, 满分10分） 阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 Xuzhou: A Journey Through Time and Flavor (风味) Guess what?

Many cities have achieved great results, and the following four are common successful examples. Wuhan, Hubei Province Known as the “City of Lakes”, Wuhan, one of China’s first national pilot sponge cities, once suffered serious seasonal waterlogging. After years of development, it has built vast green roofs, hundreds of kilometers of permeable (多孔的) pavements and thousands of rain gardens, while using its lakes and wetlands to store and purify rainwater. Now, waterlogging has been greatly reduced, and reused rainwater is used to water green belts, clean roads and fill up lakes, saving abundant fresh water yearly. Xiamen, Fujian Province Xiamen, a beautiful coastal garden city and early sponge city pilot, perfectly integrates its coastal geographical features with sponge city construction. It has built coastal rain gardens, eco-friendly river banks and green permeable paths, which effectively prevent urban flooding while protecting the coastal ecosystem. The city also integrates sponge facilities into urban landscapes, making these rainwater treatment projects both practical and beautiful, adding more scenic spots to the city. Chongqing, China Chongqing, a typical mountain city and early sponge city pilot, has developed a practical construction system to solve its seasonal waterlogging problems caused by heavy rain. It builds green roofs, permeable roads and hillside rain gardens to collect, absorb and guide rainwater step by step. Now the city can effectively control heavy rains, and purified rainwater is reused for greening and road cleaning, making the mountain city safer and greener. Suining, Sichuan Province Suining, a model sponge city in central Sichuan, has developed a special way to solve its past problems of water shortage and seasonal waterlogging. It makes use of local ponds, rivers and wetlands to build a complete rainwater collection and storage system, while adding sunken green spaces and grassy ditches in communities and schools. Now, the city can effectively control and reuse most rainwater, and its successful experience has been promoted across China. These four cities show the great power of the sponge city idea. Through different practical methods, they all have solved urban water problems well and made their cities greener and more livable. 21．What problem did Wuhan mainly solve by building itself into a sponge city? A．Water shortage. B．Urban waterlogging. C．Rainwater pollution. D．Coastal flooding. 22．If a coastal city wants to protect its ecosystem while building a sponge city, which city can they learn from? A．Wuhan. B．Xiamen. C．Suining. D．Chongqing. 23．What is the main purpose of the passage? A．To introduce four sponge city examples in China. B．To call on people to protect the environment in cities.

In most museums, there is no shouting and no running, and you must not touch anything. But the Science Museum is different...It is noisy! People talk about what they can see and do here, and there are some very noisy machines as well. If you want answers to all your questions about science, this is the right place for you. I like to visit the rooms on the second and third floors. You can learn about communications and the environment as well as maths, physics and chemistry. For example, you can find out how people dig coal from the ground and use it to create energy. And in one room they even explain how X-rays let you see inside your body. The Launchpad on the third floor is the most popular room, and it is my favourite too because there are lots of physics experiments. For example, if you want to fill a bag with sand, you have to control a kind of truck on wheels and move it into the correct place. You can also find out how people travel into space and back again. On the fourth and fifth floors, you can learn about what medicine was like in the past. If you compare the medicine of the past with the medicine of today, you will feel very lucky next time you visit a doctor! The Science Museum is interesting for people of all ages. You can always find something new and have a wonderful time there. The museum is free to enter, so you can go in for a few minutes or stay all day. It is open daily from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. So if you ever go to London, make sure you visit the Science Museum. It is my favourite museum in the whole world! 24．What makes the Science Museum different from most other museums? A．It is noisy inside. B．It is open every day. C．It is popular with all children.

Members of tour groups are taking photos in front of the beautiful wall paintings on each side. Fashionable cafes along the street are crowded with coffee lovers. To attract (吸引) more tourists and achieve new development of cultural tourism, what special efforts has been the Macao Special Administrative Region (SAR) government making? The Macao SAR government is eyeing its rich historic heritage (遗产) to attract more tourists. It is trying to revive historic areas that few tourists know. “The government has successfully developed several special places for tourists in recent years.” says Cheung Kin-chung, president of China Travel Service (Macao) Lid. Taking the Lai Chi Vun shipyards as an example, Cheung says, “Shipbuilding was once very important in Macao’s development. Although the industry of building ships has declined (衰退), the old factories offer a chance to show Macao’s history.” Now they have become a living museum. There are exhibitions about the history of the shipyards. But the shipyards are also a place where local musicians perform. Tourists can both learn about history and experience modern life there. Macao is also building itself as a “City of Performing Arts”. This has become a new step on its way to developing cultural tourism. With many nice places for concerts and performances, Macao holds lots of art events for tourists around the world to enjoy this year. During the Chinese Theater Cultural Festival, they could get a taste of traditional Chinese operas like “The Legend of the White Snake”. As a place where Chinese culture meets foreign cultures, Macao provides varied cultural experiences. Supported by the Macao SAR government, “Fado Nights” concerts were held from March 29th to May 5th. It allows tourists to enjoy Fado, a traditional Portuguese musical form. In the concerts of the festival “Encounter in Macao”, Fado is included into Chinese music, creating a new form of performance. This art form shows tourists a mixed culture of China and Western countries. In addition, the Macao SAR government has offered some special travel products and services. Together with travel companies, it has introduced many new guided tours for tourists to discover Macao.

Xuankong Temple is no doubt one of the most wonderful ones of such a saying. Made of wood, tiles and stones during the mid-Northern Wei Dynasty, the temple is made up of two three-story pavilions (亭阁) and a yard linked by stairs and steps. The stairs and steps are lined along the surface of a sheer cliff (陡峭的悬崖) rising 50 meters above a stream at the foot of the mountain. Seen from below, Xuankong Temple, which means “temple hanging in the sky”, appears terribly dangerous. It is supported only by a few thin stanchions (支柱) standing on protruding (伸出的) rocks. For that reason, it was selected by Time magazine as one of the 10 most dangerous buildings in the world in 2010. Sun Shupeng, an engineer, however, disagreed with the idea that Xuankong Temple is a dangerous structure. “The temple has been standing firmly on the Hengshan cliff for more than 1,500 years and is still kept complete and strong” he said. “A study of the temple is an exploration of an ancient Chinese engineering wonder.” Sun said the stanchions were only added recently as a comfort to visitors. About twenty thin square beams (梁) support most of the building’s weight. A number of large, deep holes were dug into the cliff’s surface, and two-thirds of the length of the beams together with wedges (楔子) were driven into each one. In addition to its strong building, local people have found that the part of cliff above the temple acts like an umbrella to protect the temple from rain and sunlight. In summer, when the daytime is the longest, the temple only receives about two hours of direct sunlight a day during the morning. The narrow valley it faces also changes the direction of airflow. The wind usually blows toward the cliff facing the temple, but rarely reaches the temple. 56．Where is Xuankong Temple built? 57．Why was Xuankong Temple one of the 10 most dangerous buildings? 58．How long has Xuankong Temple been standing firmly on the cliff? 59．What protects the temple from rain and sunlight? 60．Do you think Xuankong Temple is a dangerous building? Why or why not? 【答案】56．It is built on a steep cliff (50 meters above a stream)./ along the surface of a sheer cliff (rising 50 meters above a stream at the foot of the mountain). 57．Because it is supported only by a few thin stanchions./ It is supported only by a few thin stanchions standing on protruding rocks. 58．For more than 1,500 years. 59．The part of cliff above the temple. 60．No. It has been there for 1,500 years and is still solid. The thin stanchions are just to make visitors feel safe. Yes, it looks dangerous because it hangs on a steep cliff with only a few thin stanchions. 【导语】本文通过介绍悬空寺的结构设计与自然保护条件，纠正了它“危险”的误解，展现了它作为古代工程奇迹的稳定性与智慧。 56．根据第二段原文“the surface of a sheer cliff (陡峭的悬崖) rising 50 meters above a stream at the foot of the mountain”可知，它建在陡峭的悬崖上。 57．根据第三段原文“It is supported only by a few thin stanchions (支柱) standing on protruding (伸出的) rocks. ”可知，它只由几根站在突出岩石上的细支柱支撑，因此被《时代》杂志选为2010年世界上10座最危险的建筑之一。 58．根据第四段原文“The temple has been standing firmly on the Hengshan cliff for more than 1,500 years”可知，这座寺庙在恒山悬崖上屹立了1500多年 59．根据第六段原文“the part of cliff above the temple acts like an umbrella to protect the temple from rain and sunlight”可知，寺庙上方的悬崖部分就像一把伞，可以保护寺庙免受雨水和阳光的侵袭。 60．开放性试题，答案不唯一，合理即可。参考答案为No. It has been there for 1,500 years and is still solid. The thin stanchions are just to make visitors feel safe./Yes, it looks dangerous because it hangs on a steep cliff with only a few thin stanchions. 七、书面表达（共1小题; 满分20分） 61．假设你是李华，交换生Alice暑期将来中国游学。请根据她的书信内容，用英文写一封回信。 Dear Li Hua, I am really excited to tell you I will have a study tour in China.
