Participants cover themselves in paint, powder, or mud and dance to steel drum and soca music, marking the unofficial start of the carnival.(这场凌晨街头庆典（黎明前就开始）源自加勒比地区的传统。参与者身上涂满颜料、粉末或泥浆，伴着钢鼓与索卡音乐起舞，标志着狂欢节非正式拉开序幕。)”可知，黎明前举办的街头活动标志着狂欢节的提早开启。 23．细节理解题。根据Where Should You Stay During New York Carnival?部分中的“A convenient area to base yourself is Brooklyn, so you’re close to the action.(布鲁克林是方便落脚的区域，你可以离活动场地很近。)”可知，住在游行路线附近的布鲁克林最为便利。 （本题10分）During WWⅡ, more than 44,000 native Americans joined the US armies. Among them was a select group of “code talkers” who used a secure communications system relying on Diné Bizaad, the official language of the Navajo Nation, to send secret messages. The code, never broken by enemy forces, played a decisive role in key victories during the war and, ultimately, helped save thousands of lives. Today, only two of the “code talkers” are still alive: Thomas Begay, now around 101 years old, and Peter MacDonald, 97. As the 80th anniversary (周年纪念日) of WWⅡ’s end nears, they shared with National Geographic about the secret operation that changed military history forever. “During World War I, the US military used similar strategies to confuse German forces, relying primarily on Choctaw, Cherokee, Ho-Chunk, Comanche, and Osage speakers,” said Begay. “Largely unwritten and with few published reference sources, these native languages were nearly impossible for enemies to figure out what was being said.” The strategy proved so effective during WW I that military researchers and linguists began studying other native languages to prepare for future conflicts. What they discovered was that Diné Bizaad was exceptionally difficult to decode without deep cultural knowledge. “Because of the unfamiliarity of the culture, the enemy was even unable to correctly break the words into syllables (音节),” explained Peter MacDonald.“Computers could not have cracked the code. All computers could have done was detect patterns.” The code talkers program remained secret until 1968, when the US government finally declassified it as part of a broader effort to acknowledge the contributions of minority groups during the war and to allow the “code talkers” to share their stories for the first time. Ronald Begay, a retired US Army officer, recalled what his father told the family in 2002 when they were watching the newly released movie, Windtalkers, “‘I was one of them,’ he simply said.” 24．(2.5分)What can we know about Diné Bizaad? A．The enemy figured it out during the war. B．It is just widely used in the Navajo Nation. C．It is the earliest secret code in military history. D．Only two persons can speak it in the US. 25．(2.5分)What is the key to understanding the Diné Bizaad code talkers’ message? A．Military terms. B．Individual sounds. C．Sound patterns. D．Cultural knowledge. 26．(2.5分)How did Thomas Begay feel when he was talking to his family? A．Surprised. B．Worried. C．Calm. D．Angry. 27．(2.5分)Where is the text adapted from? A．Formal interviews. B．Movie reviews. C．Military reports. D．Classified documents. 【答案】24．B 25．D 26．C 27．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Diné Bizaad这种土著语在第二次世界大战中让敌方密码破译人员吃尽苦头的故事。 【详解】24．推理判断题。根据第一段“Among them was a select group of “code talkers” who used a secure communications system relying on Diné Bizaad, the official language of the Navajo Nation, to send secret messages.(其中有一小群被称为“密码通话者”的人，他们使用了一种基于迪内布扎德（纳瓦霍族官方语言）的保密通信系统来传递机密信息)”及下文提到的无法被破译的事实可知，该语言仅在Navajo Nation部落中大量使用。故选B。 25．细节理解题。根据第四段“What they discovered was that Diné Bizaad was exceptionally difficult to decode without deep cultural knowledge.(他们发现，若没有深厚的文化背景知识，要解读迪内贝扎德语是非常困难的)”可知，文化背景是理解这套密码的关键。故选D。 26．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Ronald Begay, a retired US Army officer, recalled what his father told the family in 2002 when they were watching the newly released movie, Windtalkers, “‘I was one of them,’ he simply said.”(退役美国陆军军官罗纳德·贝盖回忆起2002年全家观看新上映的电影《风语者》时，父亲对家人说的话：“‘我就是他们中的一员，’他只是简单地说了一句。”)”可知，Thomas和家人谈话时很淡定。故选C。 27．推理判断题。根据第二段“As the 80th anniversary (周年纪念日) of WWⅡ’s end nears, they shared with National Geographic about the secret operation that changed military history forever.(随着第二次世界大战结束80周年的临近，他们向《国家地理》杂志讲述了那次改变了军事历史的秘密行动)”以及文章主要讲述了Diné Bizaad这种土著语在第二次世界大战中让敌方密码破译人员吃尽苦头的故事可知，这篇文章是根据几个正式采访而写的。故选A。 （本题10分）There are special moments in history when the world throws up a torrent of genius. Consider how, in a single century, the world saw Descartes, Leibniz, and Newton, not to mention Shakespeare, Milton, and Bach. Or consider how, in one generation, someone could hypothetically have met Bismarck, Queen Victoria, Marie Curie, and Edison. But all of this pales in comparison to what German philosopher Karl Jaspers called the “Axial Age”. It’s here that we find the very origins of why we think the way we do today. Modern humans have been around for roughly 250,000 years, and we’ve lived in complex societies for at least 6,000 years. Then, within a span of merely six centuries, there was a huge explosion of thought. From roughly 800 BC to 200 BC, all of the major civilizations produced incredible people with incredible ideas. In Greece, we saw the likes of Socrates, Archimedes, Hippocrates, Plato, and Aristotle. In the Middle East, we got Jewish prophets like Isiah and Ezekiel, as well as Zoroaster in Persia. In India, we got the Buddha and the writing of the Hindu Upanishads. And in China, Confucianism and Daoism came into their own, as well as the famous Sun Tzu. Seen up close, these thinkers can seem about as different as chalk and cheese. What could Lao Tzu’s Dao and Aristotle’s Eudaimonia have in common? How are Yahweh and Brahman similar? For Jaspers, when you zoom out a bit and see these thinkers as a whole, there are remarkable commonalities to be found. The greatest of these is the move toward what’s called “universalism”. Universal truths, universal religion, and universal morals. It’s the idea that there are certain values and rules that ought to apply to everyone, everywhere, no matter the circumstances. The Axial Age was an era where empires expanded outwards to become huge, both in terms of size and population. It was a time of the Persian and Carthaginian empires, the Roman Republic, and the Zhou Dynasty. This means several important things happened. 28．(2.5分)What do the underlined words “pales in comparison” in Paragraph 2 mean? A．Becomes more obvious. B．Becomes less important. C．Becomes less interesting. D．Becomes more influential. 29．(2.5分)What was the Axial Age mainly about? A．Great thoughts. B．Political campaigns. C．Scientific achievements. D．Geographic discoveries. 30．(2.5分)What does Jaspers try to stress about these great thinkers? A．The similarity of their ideas. B．The difference between them. C．The diversity of their thoughts. D．The significance of their contributions. 31．(2.5分)What will the author continue talking about in the paragraphs that follow? A．The problems with the Axial Age. B．The great influence of the Axial Age. C．The historical background of the Axial Age. D．The representative figures of the Axial Age. 【答案】28．B 29．A 30．A 31．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了“轴心时代”这一概念，其由德国哲学家卡尔·雅斯贝尔斯提出, 它指大约公元前800年至公元前200年之间的一段历史时期。这一时期是人类文明发展的一个重要阶段。 28．词义猜测题。根据第一段中“Consider how, in a single century, the world saw Descartes, Leibniz, and Newton, not to mention Shakespeare, Milton, and Bach. Or consider how, in one generation, someone could hypothetically have met Bismarck, Queen Victoria, Marie Curie, and Edison.(想想看，在短短一个世纪里，世界见证了笛卡尔、莱布尼茨和牛顿的诞生，更不用说莎士比亚、弥尔顿和巴赫了。或者想想看，在一代人的时间里，理论上一个人有可能见到俾斯麦、维多利亚女王、玛丽·居里和爱迪生。)”可知，在短短一世纪中可以见到诸多伟大的人物。根据划线词所在句子“But all of this pales in comparison to what German philosopher Karl Jaspers called the “Axial Age”(但所有这一切与德国哲学家卡尔·雅斯贝尔斯所称的“轴心时代”相比都……。)”以及下文“ It’s here that we find the very origins of why we think the way we do today.(正是在这里，我们找到了我们如今思维方式的真正起源。)”可知，前文与后文构成转折关系，作者对下文提到的“轴心时代”的人物评价更高。也就是说, 第一段提到的这些人物比起“轴心时代”的先哲们就相形见绌了。“pales in comparison”在此处的意思是“与……相比显得微不足道；与……相比变得不那么重要”。选项B“Becomes less important.(变得不那么重要)”符合语境。故选B。 29．细节理解题。根据第三段中“Then, within a span of merely six centuries, there was a huge explosion of thought. From roughly 800 BC to 200 BC, all of the major civilizations produced incredible people with incredible ideas.(然后，在仅仅六个世纪的时间里，思想发生了巨大的爆发。从大约公元前800年到公元前200年，所有主要文明都涌现出了拥有非凡思想的不凡人物。)”可知，“轴心时代”的最大特点是诞生了很多伟大先哲以及他们的杰出思想。故选A。 30．细节理解题。根据第五段“Seen up close, these thinkers can seem about as different as chalk and cheese. What could Lao Tzu's Dao and Aristotle's Eudaimonia have in common? How are Yahweh and Brahman similar? For Jaspers, when you zoom out a bit and see these thinkers as a whole, there are remarkable commonalities to be found. (从近距离看，这些思想家的思想似乎大相径庭。老子的“道”和亚里士多德的“幸福观”有什么共同之处？耶和华和梵天有何相似之处？对于雅斯贝尔斯来说，当你稍微拉远一点距离，把这些思想家看作一个整体时，就会发现它们有显著的共同之处。)”可知，雅斯贝尔斯试图强调这些伟大思想家之间的相似性。故选A。 31．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“The Axial Age was an era where empires expanded outwards to become huge, both in terms of size and population. It was a time of the Persian and Carthaginian empires, the Roman Republic, and the Zhou Dynasty. This means several important things happened. (轴心时代是一个帝国在面积和人口上都向外扩张成为巨大帝国的时代。这是波斯帝国、迦太基帝国、罗马共和国和周朝的时代。这意味着发生了几件重要的事情。)”可知，本段介绍了轴心时代的历史背景，并暗示接下来将讲述这个时代的重要事件。因此，可以推断出作者接下来将继续讲述轴心时代的历史背景。选项C“The historical background of the Axial Age.(轴心时代的历史背景)”符合题意。故选C。 （本题10分）Black history museums and historic sites are thriving or growing forcefully across the South. They’re riding a wave of interest in African-American history that’s made a stunning success of the 2-year-old National Museum of African American History and Culture in the nation’s capital. Attendance at some large museums is decreasing. Twelve of the 20 biggest U. S. museums saw flat or lower attendance from 2016 to 2017. In comparison, various activities involving black history stand out. In Church Creek, Maryland, for example, a 1-year-old, 17-acre state-national park memorializes the place where Harriet Tubman was born and enslaved. Tubman escaped slavery and later helped many others escape, too. The park was expected to draw 75,000 visitors its first year. However, it attracted 100,000. History professionals cite several factors for the phenomenon. The Black Lives Matter movement, conflicts over Confederate monuments, protests by NFL players and last year’s violence in Charlottesville, Virginia, also have made a difference. These activities have caused more Americans to consider how race affects them. When the national museum opened, “We thought that might have the impact of gaining the public spotlight. Just the opposite,” said Moore, president of Charleston, South Carolina’s International African American Museum. It has jump-started more presentations of black history. “There are art museums everywhere, and there are history museums everywhere. I see it as really healthy that there will be African-American museums everywhere.” States also are spending money to promote civil rights tourism. 14 Southern state tourism agencies in January launched a website detailing stops on what they are calling the U.S. Civil Rights Trail. The South Carolina African American Heritage Commission last year created a “Green Book” mobile app. It includes 300 historic African-American sites in South Carolina. “Cultural tourism, or heritage tourism, is one of the fastest growing markets in the country,” said Jannie Harriot. She is the vice chairperson of the South Carolina commission. “(But) nothing that we do is limited to black people. Sometimes I think white people are more interested in our history than we are.” 32．(2.5分)Why does the author mention the example state-national park in paragraph 3? A．To reflect the development of the park. B．To introduce the life of Tubman. C．To present the attraction of large museums. D．To show the increased interest in black history. 33．(2.5分)What is the Moore’s attitude to the open of national museum? A．Favorable. B．Indifferent. C．Doubtful. D．Unclear. 34．(2.5分)What can we learn about civil rights tourism? A．An increased amount of money has mainly helped to preserve historic sites. B．Actions have been taken only by black people to promote civil rights tourism. C．Efforts have been made to increase tourism and attention to historic sites. D．Commission has done nothing to arouse the interest of black people in history. 35．(2.5分)Which of the following is a suitable title for the passage? A．Activities Involving Black History Standing Out. B．Reasons for the Increased Interest in Black History. C．The Increased Awareness of Preserving Black History. D．Black History Tourism and Museums Attracting Attention. 【答案】32．D 33．A 34．C 35．D 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要描写具有吸引力的黑人历史博物馆和历史遗址。 【详解】32．推理判断题。根据第三段“In Church Creek, Maryland, for example, a 1-year-old, 17-acre state-national park memorializes the place where Harriet Tubman was born and enslaved.(在马里兰州的Church Creek，一座占地17英亩的1岁州立公园纪念哈里特·塔布曼出生和奴役的地方。) ”以及“The park was expected to draw 75,000 visitors its first year. However, it attracted 100,000. ( 公园第一年预计将吸引75000名游客。然而，它吸引了10万人。)”可知，作者举例子是为了说明人们对黑人历史关注热度持续上升。故选D。 33．推理判断题。根据倒数第三段“We thought that might have the impact of gaining the public spotlight. Just the opposite(我们认为这可能会引起公众的关注。恰恰相反。)”以及“ It has jump-started more presentations of black history. (它开始了更多关于黑人历史的介绍。)”和“There are art museums everywhere, and there are history museums everywhere. I see it as really healthy that there will be African-American museums everywhere.(到处都是艺术博物馆，到处都是历史博物馆。我认为到处都会有非裔美国人的博物馆，这真的很健康。)”可知，Moore支持国家博物馆关于黑人历史的介绍。A项“支持的”符合题意。故选A。 34．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“States also are spending money to promote civil rights tourism. 14 Southern state tourism agencies in January launched a website detailing stops on what they are calling the U.S. Civil Rights Trail. The South Carolina African American Heritage Commission last year created a “Green Book” mobile app. It includes 300 historic African-American sites in South Carolina.( 各州也在花钱促进民权旅游。1月份，14家南部州旅游机构推出了一个网站，详细介绍了他们所称的“美国民权之路”的停靠点。南卡罗来纳州非裔美国人遗产委员会去年开发了一款“绿皮书”移动应用程序。它包括南卡罗来纳州300处历史悠久的非裔美国人遗址。)”可知，各地都在努力地推广旅游业和对历史遗址的关注。故选C。 35．主旨大意题。根据第一段“Black history museums and historic sites are thriving or growing forcefully across the South. They’re riding a wave of interest in African-American history that’s made a stunning success of the 2-year-old National Museum of African American History and Culture in the nation’s capital. (黑人历史博物馆和历史遗迹在整个南方正在蓬勃发展。乘着对非裔美国人历史的兴趣浪潮，在首都成立两年的非裔美国人历史和文化国家博物馆取得了惊人的成功。)”以及下文内容可知，这篇文章主要讲述具有吸引力的黑人历史博物馆和历史遗址，因此推断D项“黑人历史旅游和博物馆吸引了关注。”为最佳标题。故选D。 （本题12.5分）Education is the best tool when it comes to protecting our cultural heritage.

It assists us in understanding the importance of conserving aspects of human life. (教育是保护我们文化遗产的最佳工具。它帮助我们理解保护人类生活各个方面的重要性。)”和下文“Teaching Everyone why Heritage Matters. (教导每个人为什么遗产很重要。)”可知，上文强调教育对保护文化遗产的重要性，下文强调教育的具体作用，本空应进一步阐述教育在保护遗产方面的如何发挥具体作用。G选项“Let us look at how education plays a vital role in preserving heritage. (让我们看看教育在保护遗产方面是如何发挥重要作用的。)”能够很好地引出下文对教育作用的具体说明，起到承上启下的作用，符合语境。故选G。 37．由上文“Suppose society did not know why specific structures or specific dances were essential.

(他们也了解到保护这些东西的价值。)”中的“also”表示递进，“learn the value of preserving such items”是学生在熟悉历史和工艺文化基础上的进一步收获，能承接上文，符合语境，故选C。 39．由下文“It is not enough to know why preserving our heritage is necessary; it is also necessary to know how to do it correctly. This is where training programs come in to help. They educate those who handle old structures or artifacts (人工制品) on maintaining them in their excellent state. (仅仅知道为什么保护我们的遗产是必要的是不够的；还必须知道如何正确地做到这一点。这就是培训项目发挥作用的地方。他们教育那些处理古老建筑或人工制品的人如何将它们保持在良好状态。)”可知，下文主要讲的是通过培训项目教人们如何正确保护遗产，也就是培训人们成为保护遗产的人，本空应概括这一段的主旨，强调培训人们保护遗产。A 选项“Training people to be heritage heroes. (培训人们成为遗产保护英雄。)”能够概括这一段的主旨，作为小标题合适，故选A。 40．由下文“Therefore, it tells us why our cultural heritages are so valuable, integrates (融入) heritage into education, promotes the interactions between professionals, and enables communities to act. (因此，它告诉我们为什么我们的文化遗产如此有价值，将遗产融入教育，促进专业人员之间的互动，并使社区能够采取行动。)”可知，下文在总结教育对文化遗产的多方面作用，本空应强调并总结教育对于保护遗产方面的作用。F 选项“In essence, education is the best tool and protector of our heritage. (从本质上讲，教育是我们遗产的最佳工具和保护者。)”能够很好地总结上文对教育在保护遗产方面各种作用的阐述，符合语境，故选F。 三、完形填空 （本题15分）As a traveler with a disability, I have always avoided cruises. This expedition-style small-ship cruise changed my mind.

Even the fierce wind and rain couldn’t 51 our excitement as we 52 our way to the beach and hiked to a viewpoint, pausing to photograph little purple flowers 53 the volcanic rocks. Our visit there wasn’t about what we could do or see. It was an opportunity to just be—to exist in a brief 54 on a tiny, often inaccessible, volcanic rock in the Arctic.

She had a quarrel (吵架) with her mother that afternoon and she ran out of the house angrily. She couldn’t help weeping sorrowfully when she thought of the scolding from her mother. Having wandered aimlessly in the street for hours, she felt a little hungry and wished for something to eat. She stood beside a stand (货摊) for a while, watching the middle-aged seller busy doing his business. However, with no money in hand, she gave a sigh and had to leave. The seller behind the stand noticed the young girl and asked, “Hey, girl, you want to have the noodles?” “Oh, yes, but I don’t have money on me.” she replied. “That’s nothing. I’ll treat you today,” said the man, “Come in.” The seller brought her a bowl of noodles, whose smell was so attractive. As she was eating, Jenny cried silently. “What is it?” asked the man kindly. “Nothing. Actually, I was just touched by your kindness!” said Jenny as she wiped her tears. “Even a stranger on the street will give me a bowl of noodles, while my mother drove me out of the house. She showed no care for me. She is so merciless compared to a stranger!” Hearing the words, the seller smiled, “Girl, do you really think so? I only gave you a bowl of noodles and you thanked me a lot. But it is your mother who has raised you since you were a baby. Can you remember the times she cooked for you? Have you expressed your gratitude to her?” Jenny sat there, speechless and numb with shock: she remembered her mother’s familiar face and weathered hands. “Why didn’t I think of that? A bowl of noodles from a stranger made me feel grateful. Why haven’t I thanked my mum for what she has done for me?” On the way home. Jenny made up her mind to make an apology to her mother for her rudeness as soon as she arrived home. 注意： 1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右； 2. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。 Nearing the doorway, Jenny took a deep breath. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ At that time, her mother came back and touched her hair gently, which called her mind back. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 Nearing the doorway, Jenny took a deep breath. When she pushed the door open and entered the house, she found her mother was not in. Tired and sad, she sunk down into the sofa. “Where could my mother be?” she wondered. “Was she still angry with me?” Again, the scene of the quarrel appeared in her mind. She remembered her rudeness to her mother. Realizing that all the scolding from her mother was due to the fact that her mother really cared a lot about her, she felt rather ashamed, tears rolling down her cheeks. At that time, her mother came back and touched her hair gently, which called her mind back. She raised her head and saw the familiar face of her mother. “Here you come! I’ve been looking for you,” she said, fatigued but relieved. Jenny couldn’t help throwing herself into her mother’ arms. “Mum, I’m so sorry and thank you for all you have done for me.” she expressed her sincere apology and great gratitude. Hearing this, her mother smiled, patting her back gently. It dawned on Jenny that Mum’s love was invisible and intangible, but always surrounded us. 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了珍妮与母亲吵架而离家出走，在感到饥饿而没钱吃饭的时候，一个商贩给了她一碗面条，珍妮非常感动，觉得自己母亲非常的无情不关心她，而商贩的话让珍妮觉得自己对母亲太粗鲁了，于是下定决心回家向母亲道歉的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容“快到门口时，珍妮深吸了一口气。”可知，第一段可描写Jenny回家后的心理活动。 ②由第二段首句内容“这时，妈妈回来了，轻轻地抚摸着她的头发，把她的思绪拉了回来。”可知，第二段可描写Jenny给妈妈道歉，母女俩和好的过程。 2. 续写线索：感到疲惫和伤心——想起争吵的场景——意识到妈妈在乎自己——感到惭愧——看见妈妈——扑进妈妈怀里——道歉和感谢——妈妈原谅Jenny 3. 词汇激活 行为类 出现在脑海：appear in one’s mind/come to one’s mind 流下：roll down/stream down 意识到：realize/be aware of 表达：express/convey 情绪类 难过的：sad/upset 感谢：gratitude/appreciation 疲惫的：tired/exhausted 【点睛】【高分句型1】Realizing that all the scolding from her mother was due to the fact that her mother really cared a lot about her, she felt rather ashamed, tears rolling down her cheeks.(运用了宾语从句、同位语从句和独立主格结构，其中第一个that引导宾语从句，第二个that引导同位语从句) 【高分句型2】It dawned on Jenny that Mum’s love was invisible and intangible, but always surrounded us.

Among them was a select group of “code talkers” who used a secure communications system relying on Diné Bizaad, the official language of the Navajo Nation, to send secret messages. The code, never broken by enemy forces, played a decisive role in key victories during the war and, ultimately, helped save thousands of lives. Today, only two of the “code talkers” are still alive: Thomas Begay, now around 101 years old, and Peter MacDonald, 97. As the 80th anniversary (周年纪念日) of WWⅡ’s end nears, they shared with National Geographic about the secret operation that changed military history forever. “During World War I, the US military used similar strategies to confuse German forces, relying primarily on Choctaw, Cherokee, Ho-Chunk, Comanche, and Osage speakers,” said Begay. “Largely unwritten and with few published reference sources, these native languages were nearly impossible for enemies to figure out what was being said.” The strategy proved so effective during WW I that military researchers and linguists began studying other native languages to prepare for future conflicts. What they discovered was that Diné Bizaad was exceptionally difficult to decode without deep cultural knowledge. “Because of the unfamiliarity of the culture, the enemy was even unable to correctly break the words into syllables (音节),” explained Peter MacDonald.“Computers could not have cracked the code. All computers could have done was detect patterns.” The code talkers program remained secret until 1968, when the US government finally declassified it as part of a broader effort to acknowledge the contributions of minority groups during the war and to allow the “code talkers” to share their stories for the first time. Ronald Begay, a retired US Army officer, recalled what his father told the family in 2002 when they were watching the newly released movie, Windtalkers, “‘I was one of them,’ he simply said.” 24．(2.5分)What can we know about Diné Bizaad? A．The enemy figured it out during the war. B．It is just widely used in the Navajo Nation. C．It is the earliest secret code in military history. D．Only two persons can speak it in the US. 25．(2.5分)What is the key to understanding the Diné Bizaad code talkers’ message? A．Military terms. B．Individual sounds. C．Sound patterns. D．Cultural knowledge. 26．(2.5分)How did Thomas Begay feel when he was talking to his family? A．Surprised. B．Worried. C．Calm. D．Angry. 27．(2.5分)Where is the text adapted from? A．Formal interviews. B．Movie reviews. C．Military reports. D．Classified documents. （本题10分）There are special moments in history when the world throws up a torrent of genius. Consider how, in a single century, the world saw Descartes, Leibniz, and Newton, not to mention Shakespeare, Milton, and Bach. Or consider how, in one generation, someone could hypothetically have met Bismarck, Queen Victoria, Marie Curie, and Edison. But all of this pales in comparison to what German philosopher Karl Jaspers called the “Axial Age”. It’s here that we find the very origins of why we think the way we do today. Modern humans have been around for roughly 250,000 years, and we’ve lived in complex societies for at least 6,000 years. Then, within a span of merely six centuries, there was a huge explosion of thought. From roughly 800 BC to 200 BC, all of the major civilizations produced incredible people with incredible ideas. In Greece, we saw the likes of Socrates, Archimedes, Hippocrates, Plato, and Aristotle. In the Middle East, we got Jewish prophets like Isiah and Ezekiel, as well as Zoroaster in Persia. In India, we got the Buddha and the writing of the Hindu Upanishads. And in China, Confucianism and Daoism came into their own, as well as the famous Sun Tzu. Seen up close, these thinkers can seem about as different as chalk and cheese. What could Lao Tzu’s Dao and Aristotle’s Eudaimonia have in common? How are Yahweh and Brahman similar? For Jaspers, when you zoom out a bit and see these thinkers as a whole, there are remarkable commonalities to be found. The greatest of these is the move toward what’s called “universalism”. Universal truths, universal religion, and universal morals. It’s the idea that there are certain values and rules that ought to apply to everyone, everywhere, no matter the circumstances. The Axial Age was an era where empires expanded outwards to become huge, both in terms of size and population. It was a time of the Persian and Carthaginian empires, the Roman Republic, and the Zhou Dynasty. This means several important things happened. 28．(2.5分)What do the underlined words “pales in comparison” in Paragraph 2 mean? A．Becomes more obvious. B．Becomes less important. C．Becomes less interesting. D．Becomes more influential. 29．(2.5分)What was the Axial Age mainly about? A．Great thoughts. B．Political campaigns. C．Scientific achievements. D．Geographic discoveries. 30．(2.5分)What does Jaspers try to stress about these great thinkers? A．The similarity of their ideas. B．The difference between them. C．The diversity of their thoughts. D．The significance of their contributions. 31．(2.5分)What will the author continue talking about in the paragraphs that follow? A．The problems with the Axial Age. B．The great influence of the Axial Age. C．The historical background of the Axial Age. D．The representative figures of the Axial Age. （本题10分）Black history museums and historic sites are thriving or growing forcefully across the South. They’re riding a wave of interest in African-American history that’s made a stunning success of the 2-year-old National Museum of African American History and Culture in the nation’s capital. Attendance at some large museums is decreasing. Twelve of the 20 biggest U. S. museums saw flat or lower attendance from 2016 to 2017. In comparison, various activities involving black history stand out. In Church Creek, Maryland, for example, a 1-year-old, 17-acre state-national park memorializes the place where Harriet Tubman was born and enslaved. Tubman escaped slavery and later helped many others escape, too. The park was expected to draw 75,000 visitors its first year. However, it attracted 100,000. History professionals cite several factors for the phenomenon. The Black Lives Matter movement, conflicts over Confederate monuments, protests by NFL players and last year’s violence in Charlottesville, Virginia, also have made a difference. These activities have caused more Americans to consider how race affects them. When the national museum opened, “We thought that might have the impact of gaining the public spotlight. Just the opposite,” said Moore, president of Charleston, South Carolina’s International African American Museum. It has jump-started more presentations of black history. “There are art museums everywhere, and there are history museums everywhere. I see it as really healthy that there will be African-American museums everywhere.” States also are spending money to promote civil rights tourism. 14 Southern state tourism agencies in January launched a website detailing stops on what they are calling the U.S. Civil Rights Trail. The South Carolina African American Heritage Commission last year created a “Green Book” mobile app. It includes 300 historic African-American sites in South Carolina. “Cultural tourism, or heritage tourism, is one of the fastest growing markets in the country,” said Jannie Harriot. She is the vice chairperson of the South Carolina commission. “(But) nothing that we do is limited to black people. Sometimes I think white people are more interested in our history than we are.” 32．(2.5分)Why does the author mention the example state-national park in paragraph 3? A．To reflect the development of the park. B．To introduce the life of Tubman. C．To present the attraction of large museums. D．To show the increased interest in black history. 33．(2.5分)What is the Moore’s attitude to the open of national museum? A．Favorable. B．Indifferent. C．Doubtful. D．Unclear. 34．(2.5分)What can we learn about civil rights tourism? A．An increased amount of money has mainly helped to preserve historic sites. B．Actions have been taken only by black people to promote civil rights tourism. C．Efforts have been made to increase tourism and attention to historic sites. D．Commission has done nothing to arouse the interest of black people in history. 35．(2.5分)Which of the following is a suitable title for the passage? A．Activities Involving Black History Standing Out. B．Reasons for the Increased Interest in Black History. C．The Increased Awareness of Preserving Black History. D．Black History Tourism and Museums Attracting Attention. （本题12.5分）Education is the best tool when it comes to protecting our cultural heritage. It assists us in understanding the importance of conserving aspects of human life. 36(2.5分) Teaching Everyone why Heritage Matters. Suppose society did not know why specific structures or specific dances were essential. This is where education comes into play. 37(2.5分) Thus, we can learn about the history of these treasures. This knowledge makes people appreciate their cultures since they can identify what makes them different from other regions and have the urge to protect them. Bringing Heritage into Schools. Have you ever been in a history or an art class, and suddenly the teacher starts talking about a specific building or painting? That is because schools are introducing heritage into their courses. This way, students become familiar with history and craft culture. 38(2.5分) 39(2.5分) It is not enough to know why preserving our heritage is necessary; it is also necessary to know how to do it correctly. This is where training programs come in to help. They educate those who handle old structures or artifacts (人工制品) on maintaining them in their excellent state. These programs range from architects to museum curators (负责人), and they equip them with the tools to protect our heritage for the future. 40(2.5分) Therefore, it tells us why our cultural heritages are so valuable, integrates (融入) heritage into education, promotes the interactions between professionals, and enables communities to act. A．Training people to be heritage heroes. B．Understanding the ways of preserving heritage. C．They also learn the value of preserving such items. D．Education in schools teaches us to respect cultural heritage. E．It can inform everyone about the importance of cultural heritage. F．In essence, education is the best tool and protector of our heritage. G．Let us look at how education plays a vital role in preserving heritage. 三、完形填空 （本题15分）As a traveler with a disability, I have always avoided cruises.

Jan Mayen wasn’t on our itinerary (行程), and due to its 45 location and often unpredictable weather, very few people ever 46 the island. I knew the 47 weren’t ideal, but I wasn’t going to let that stop me. In fact, the possibility of 48 adventures was one of the reasons I chose this small-ship cruise. So I 49 joined my shipmates in the mud room, where we put on waterproof clothes and life jackets before hopping in the Zodiacs for a bumpy 50 to a black-sand beach. Even the fierce wind and rain couldn’t 51 our excitement as we 52 our way to the beach and hiked to a viewpoint, pausing to photograph little purple flowers 53 the volcanic rocks.

She had a quarrel (吵架) with her mother that afternoon and she ran out of the house angrily. She couldn’t help weeping sorrowfully when she thought of the scolding from her mother. Having wandered aimlessly in the street for hours, she felt a little hungry and wished for something to eat. She stood beside a stand (货摊) for a while, watching the middle-aged seller busy doing his business. However, with no money in hand, she gave a sigh and had to leave. The seller behind the stand noticed the young girl and asked, “Hey, girl, you want to have the noodles?” “Oh, yes, but I don’t have money on me.” she replied. “That’s nothing. I’ll treat you today,” said the man, “Come in.” The seller brought her a bowl of noodles, whose smell was so attractive. As she was eating, Jenny cried silently. “What is it?” asked the man kindly. “Nothing. Actually, I was just touched by your kindness!” said Jenny as she wiped her tears. “Even a stranger on the street will give me a bowl of noodles, while my mother drove me out of the house. She showed no care for me. She is so merciless compared to a stranger!” Hearing the words, the seller smiled, “Girl, do you really think so? I only gave you a bowl of noodles and you thanked me a lot. But it is your mother who has raised you since you were a baby. Can you remember the times she cooked for you? Have you expressed your gratitude to her?” Jenny sat there, speechless and numb with shock: she remembered her mother’s familiar face and weathered hands. “Why didn’t I think of that? A bowl of noodles from a stranger made me feel grateful. Why haven’t I thanked my mum for what she has done for me?” On the way home. Jenny made up her mind to make an apology to her mother for her rudeness as soon as she arrived home. 注意： 1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右； 2. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。 Nearing the doorway, Jenny took a deep breath. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ At that time, her mother came back and touched her hair gently, which called her mind back. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 2 / 2 2 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $听力考试正式开始。Do you ever wonder how ancient people brush . their teeth?
