W: Kitchens? Weren’t they just part of the main buildings? M: Actually, no. Kitchens were usually built far from the main buildings. W: Really? That seems inconvenient.

The park features a spectacular Danxia landform that covers about 510 square kilometers. These unique formations are a masterpiece of nature. The colorful mountain ridges are just like an overturned palette from heaven. ★Zhangye’s Danxia landscape features lots of steep red cliffs, most of which are several hundred meters high, with multicolored ridges of weathered strata stretching to the horizon. These formations vary from smooth to jagged, standing in stark contrast against the plains’ green or gray hues, presenting a spectacle that is both majestic and breathtaking. Across the Danxia landscape zone, a kaleidoscope (万花筒) of red rocky outcrops assumes wondrous shapes like castles, cones, towers, as well as human and animal figures. When their peaks emerge through mist and clouds, they create a mirage-like vista of fantastical mountains and pavilions. Why does the Zhangye Danxia landscape have colorful layers? About 100 million years ago, the area was part of an inland basin. Due to tectonic plate collision (碰撞) , the land folded and formed mountains, and lifted above sea level. Red sandstone was deposited when rivers formed in the area. When the ground sank into a basin, mudstone was deposited (沉积) on the red sandstone. During different periods, varying sedimentary rocks were formed that contained different amounts of iron compounds (镁铁化合物) in the mud and stone. This is why the layers have different colors. Because of the changes in sedimentary (沉淀的) environments, the sedimentary layers formed have different colors, such as red, purplish red, yellowish green, grayish green, and gray. Every layer took thousands of years to form. The movement of the Himalayas lifted the area higher and rivers formed. The river erosion formed gorges, and the early Danxia landscape was created. After further geological periods, river erosion and wind erosion formed the colorful layers we see today. The Zhangye Danxia National Geological Park is close to the city of Zhangye-about 50 minutes west by car, in northwestern China’s Gansu Province. Alternatively, visitors can take a bus from Zhangye City Bus Station directly to the park. 28．(2.5分)What do we know from the Danxia landscape zone in Zhangye? A．The scenery is magnificent as the cliffs stand high into the sky. B．Red is the only color shown in this unique geological park. C．These formations take on many vivid shapes. D．Fantastic mountains and pavilions can be seen through the clouds. 29．(2.5分)What causes the colorful layers in Zhangye’s mountains? A．A chemical material deposited. B．The plate clashes about 100 million years ago. C．Mountains worn away by rivers. D．The cliffs changed by the force of weather. 30．(2.5分)What can best replace the underlined word “erosion” in the passage? A．Wearing away. B．Breaking down. C．Rising above. D．Moving through. 31．(2.5分)What is the purpose of the author by writing this passage? A．To explain the sedimentary formation process. B．To study the history of plate collision. C．To popularize the geological knowledge. D．To introduce a tourist attraction. 【答案】28．C 29．A 30．A 31．D 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文介绍了张掖丹霞国家地质公园的奇幻景色，探讨了丹霞地貌的形成过程。 【详解】28．细节理解题。根据第三段“Across the Danxia landscape zone, a kaleidoscope (万花筒) of red rocky outcrops assumes wondrous shapes like castles, cones, towers, as well as human and animal figures.(在丹霞景观带，红色岩石露头如万花筒般呈现出奇妙的形状，如城堡、圆锥体、塔以及人物和动物形象。)”可知，张掖丹霞地貌区的地貌呈现出多种生动的形状。故选C项。 29．细节理解题。根据第四段“During different periods, varying sedimentary rocks were formed that contained different amounts of iron compounds (镁铁化合物) in the mud and stone. This is why the layers have different colors.(在不同时期，形成了不同的沉积岩，泥土和石头中含有不同数量的铁化合物。这就是为什么这些岩层有不同的颜色。)”可知，张掖山脉多彩岩层的形成是由于沉积的化学物质（铁化合物）含量不同。故选A项。 30．词句猜测题。根据第五段“The movement of the Himalayas lifted the area higher and rivers formed. The river erosion formed gorges, and the early Danxia landscape was created.(喜马拉雅山脉的运动使该地区升高，河流形成。河流的erosion形成了峡谷，早期的丹霞地貌就这样形成了。)”可推知，erosion指河流对土地的“侵蚀，磨损”，与“wearing away”意思相近。故选A项。 31．推理判断题。通读全文，第一段介绍张掖丹霞国家地质公园的位置和景观特色，第二、三段描述其地貌形态，第四、五段解释多彩岩层的成因，最后一段说明交通方式。特别根据第一段“The park features a spectacular Danxia landform that covers about 510 square kilometers. These unique formations are a masterpiece of nature. The colorful mountain ridges are just like an overturned palette from heaven.(该公园以壮观的丹霞地貌为特色，占地约510平方公里。这些独特的构造是大自然的杰作。色彩斑斓的山脊就像一块从天上翻过来的调色板。)”可知，作者写作本文的目的是介绍这一旅游景点。故选D项。 （本题10分）Sometimes it is easy to think that common, everyday terms have always been like this and that they will continue to be so. But this is not the case. The meaning of “Spain” has changed dramatically over time. To a Roman, a Visigoth, and a modern citizen of the country now called Spain, the word carried or carries very different meanings. Tracing these shifts offers a fascinating journey through history. Spain comes from “Hispania”, a name used to describe the Iberian Peninsula (伊比利亚半岛). Scholars still debate its origin, but one widely accepted theory considers it to be the Phoenician (腓尼基语的) phrase “I-span-ya”. Most agree that the beginning and end refer to “island”, while the middle part “span” has been interpreted in several ways: “of rabbits”, “of the smiths”, or “of the north”. What is certain is that it was originally related to a geographical concept. This concept was maintained for a long time. However, after Rome conquered the peninsula, Hispania took on administrative meanings as well. The region became Rome’ s first overseas territory, divided into two provinces, Hispania Ulterior( Further Spain) and Hispania Citerior(Nearer Spain). Although the number of government divisions increased, the broader idea of Hispania as the tongue of the land surrounded by the Atlantic and the Mediterranean remained. When the Roman Empire declined, the Visigoths — originally from Eastern Europe — moved into Gaul and then settled in the peninsula, establishing a kingdom. They adopted the term “Pania” to describe their kingdom, using it to reinforce their authority. The Muslim invasion made “Pania” return to a simple geographical name. The northern kingdoms initially used it to refer to the southern Muslim-held lands. But as these northern kingdoms grew more powerful, their rulers began to aspire(渴望) to rule the entire peninsula. Leaders like Alfonso Ⅵ and Alfonso Ⅶ declared themselves“ Emperor of All Spain”, bringing back the term’s political meaning. Eventually, the separate kingdoms on the Iberian Peninsula united through marriage and conquest. The concept of “Spain” narrowed geographically but expanded politically. By then, “Spain” no longer just described a place — it represented a unified monarchy and its territory. 32．(2.5分)How does the author introduce the topic of the text? A．By making an explanation. B．By stating personal opinions. C．By referring to historical research. D．By challenging a common assumption. 33．(2.5分)How did the Romans affect the meaning of “Hispania”? A．They added political meaning to it. B．They used it mainly as a cultural label. C．They used it to describe a group of people. D．They turned it into the name of a kingdom. 34．(2.5分)Why did the Visigoths use the term “Pania”? A．To divide local provinces. B．To mark geographical borders. C．To fight against Muslim forces. D．To strengthen their ruling power. 35．(2.5分)What can be a suitable title for the text? A．The Birth of a Brand New State B．The Evolution of the Name Spain C．The History of the Iberian Peninsula D．The Rise and Fall of Countries in Hispania 【答案】32．D 33．A 34．D 35．B 【导语】本文按时间顺序，介绍Spain一词词义随政权更迭不断演变的历史。 【详解】32．推理判断题。根据第一段“Sometimes it is easy to think that common, everyday terms have always been like this and that they will continue to be so. But this is not the case. (人们普遍认为日常词汇含义一成不变，但事实并非如此。)”可知，作者反驳大众固有看法，引出文章主题。 33．细节理解题。根据第三段“However, after Rome conquered the peninsula, Hispania took on administrative meanings as well. (然而，罗马征服伊比利亚半岛后，Hispania增添了行政政治含义。)”可知，罗马人赋予该词汇政治意义。 34．细节理解题。根据第四段“They adopted the term “Pania” to describe their kingdom, using it to reinforce their authority. (西哥特人使用Pania指代王国，以此巩固统治权威。)”可知，该词汇用于强化自身统治权力。 35．主旨大意题。全文围绕Spain名称起源、词义演变展开，讲述不同历史时期该词汇含义的变化。B“西班牙名称的演变”符合主题，适合用作标题。 （本题12.5分）Many people enjoy spending their vacations swimming, lying in the sun and staying at luxurious hotels. 36(2.5分) They head for the country, to one of the numerous United States national parks, and take advantage of the fresh air and many outdoor activities that nature has to offer. “I’m a successful lawyer from San Francisco,” says Gavin Murphy. “ 37(2.5分) I usually go to Yosemite National Park, where I sleep in a tent, hike, and enjoy the peace and quiet.” 38(2.5分) They can go fishing in a cold stream, hiking on a winding nature trail, or biking along scenic paths.

Seeing photos of where I was going, she didn’t hold back her despair. “Why did you even have me if you were just going to leave me behind?” she sobbed. I tried to tell her that someday she’d understand. But as my husband, Evan, pried(拉开) her off my leg so I could leave, I wondered if my solo trip would be worth the effort of going without her. Returning home after a few days away, I felt energized and inspired. Mai a was happy to hear about my trip. She told me I could keep going on trips for work— but she’d come with me. Growing up on a sailing boat gave Mai a an early sense of adventure. Travelling is something Evan and I hoped :Maia would love. Our goal was to set out sailing again when she was seven, an age when she’d be able to remember the voyage. Until then, the plan was for me to travel on my own and build a writing career while we took Maia on short family trips. But then, a year later, an invitation came to experience the Rocky Mountaineer on a parent-child journey through the Rockies, which sounded too good to pass up. Ever since Mai a was little, she’d dreamed of travelling the world with her parents. Dressed in her fanciest train-riding clothes, four-year-old.

Maia shared her dreams of exploring the world, while I told her stories of my own travels and adventures. In those moments, I realized how much she had grown and how proud I was of her independence and curiosity. It was a trip that not only broadened our horizons but also strengthened the bond between us as a family. 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，文章描述了一位新的旅行作家母亲和她三岁女儿Maia的旅行经历以及这段经历如何加深了她们之间的情感联系。母亲因为工作原因独自前往南卡罗来纳州旅行，这让Maia感到不安。然而在旅行的过程中她作为母亲的旅行伴侣表现得非常出色。这次旅行不仅让她们欣赏到了美丽的风景，还让她们有机会深入交流，分享彼此的梦想和经历，从而加强了母女之间的情感纽带。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我很惊讶Maia最终成为如此轻松的旅伴”可知，第一段可描写Maia在旅途中展现出的热切，好奇以及询问，这些使得漫长的火车旅程 变得转瞬即逝。 ②由第二段首句内容“前往海滨小镇的旅行帮助我们重新建立了联系。”可知，第二段可描写作者和女儿在海滨小镇中的所见所闻所感，由此增强了作者与女儿之间的联系。 2.续写线索： 女儿对新环境好奇和充满热情——不断地注视和询问周围的风景及文化——旅途变得轻松和愉快——海滨小镇的海浪和细沙——母女二人互相分享内心世界和梦想——最终感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①遮盖/使黯然失色：overshadow/shade ②偶遇：encounter/come across ③拓宽视野：broaden/widen horizons 情绪类 ①热情：enthusiasm/passion ②兴奋：excitement/ exhilaration 【点睛】[高分句型1].

The park features a spectacular Danxia landform that covers about 510 square kilometers. These unique formations are a masterpiece of nature. The colorful mountain ridges are just like an overturned palette from heaven. ★Zhangye’s Danxia landscape features lots of steep red cliffs, most of which are several hundred meters high, with multicolored ridges of weathered strata stretching to the horizon. These formations vary from smooth to jagged, standing in stark contrast against the plains’ green or gray hues, presenting a spectacle that is both majestic and breathtaking. Across the Danxia landscape zone, a kaleidoscope (万花筒) of red rocky outcrops assumes wondrous shapes like castles, cones, towers, as well as human and animal figures. When their peaks emerge through mist and clouds, they create a mirage-like vista of fantastical mountains and pavilions. Why does the Zhangye Danxia landscape have colorful layers? About 100 million years ago, the area was part of an inland basin. Due to tectonic plate collision (碰撞) , the land folded and formed mountains, and lifted above sea level. Red sandstone was deposited when rivers formed in the area. When the ground sank into a basin, mudstone was deposited (沉积) on the red sandstone. During different periods, varying sedimentary rocks were formed that contained different amounts of iron compounds (镁铁化合物) in the mud and stone. This is why the layers have different colors. Because of the changes in sedimentary (沉淀的) environments, the sedimentary layers formed have different colors, such as red, purplish red, yellowish green, grayish green, and gray. Every layer took thousands of years to form. The movement of the Himalayas lifted the area higher and rivers formed. The river erosion formed gorges, and the early Danxia landscape was created. After further geological periods, river erosion and wind erosion formed the colorful layers we see today. The Zhangye Danxia National Geological Park is close to the city of Zhangye-about 50 minutes west by car, in northwestern China’s Gansu Province. Alternatively, visitors can take a bus from Zhangye City Bus Station directly to the park. 28．(2.5分)What do we know from the Danxia landscape zone in Zhangye? A．The scenery is magnificent as the cliffs stand high into the sky. B．Red is the only color shown in this unique geological park. C．These formations take on many vivid shapes.

B．The plate clashes about 100 million years ago. C．Mountains worn away by rivers. D．The cliffs changed by the force of weather. 30．(2.5分)What can best replace the underlined word “erosion” in the passage? A．Wearing away. B．Breaking down. C．Rising above. D．Moving through. 31．(2.5分)What is the purpose of the author by writing this passage? A．To explain the sedimentary formation process. B．To study the history of plate collision. C．To popularize the geological knowledge. D．To introduce a tourist attraction. （本题10分）Sometimes it is easy to think that common, everyday terms have always been like this and that they will continue to be so. But this is not the case. The meaning of “Spain” has changed dramatically over time. To a Roman, a Visigoth, and a modern citizen of the country now called Spain, the word carried or carries very different meanings. Tracing these shifts offers a fascinating journey through history. Spain comes from “Hispania”, a name used to describe the Iberian Peninsula (伊比利亚半岛). Scholars still debate its origin, but one widely accepted theory considers it to be the Phoenician (腓尼基语的) phrase “I-span-ya”. Most agree that the beginning and end refer to “island”, while the middle part “span” has been interpreted in several ways: “of rabbits”, “of the smiths”, or “of the north”. What is certain is that it was originally related to a geographical concept. This concept was maintained for a long time. However, after Rome conquered the peninsula, Hispania took on administrative meanings as well. The region became Rome’ s first overseas territory, divided into two provinces, Hispania Ulterior( Further Spain) and Hispania Citerior(Nearer Spain). Although the number of government divisions increased, the broader idea of Hispania as the tongue of the land surrounded by the Atlantic and the Mediterranean remained. When the Roman Empire declined, the Visigoths — originally from Eastern Europe — moved into Gaul and then settled in the peninsula, establishing a kingdom. They adopted the term “Pania” to describe their kingdom, using it to reinforce their authority. The Muslim invasion made “Pania” return to a simple geographical name. The northern kingdoms initially used it to refer to the southern Muslim-held lands. But as these northern kingdoms grew more powerful, their rulers began to aspire(渴望) to rule the entire peninsula. Leaders like Alfonso Ⅵ and Alfonso Ⅶ declared themselves“ Emperor of All Spain”, bringing back the term’s political meaning. Eventually, the separate kingdoms on the Iberian Peninsula united through marriage and conquest. The concept of “Spain” narrowed geographically but expanded politically. By then, “Spain” no longer just described a place — it represented a unified monarchy and its territory. 32．(2.5分)How does the author introduce the topic of the text? A．By making an explanation. B．By stating personal opinions. C．By referring to historical research. D．By challenging a common assumption. 33．(2.5分)How did the Romans affect the meaning of “Hispania”? A．They added political meaning to it. B．They used it mainly as a cultural label. C．They used it to describe a group of people. D．They turned it into the name of a kingdom. 34．(2.5分)Why did the Visigoths use the term “Pania”? A．To divide local provinces. B．To mark geographical borders. C．To fight against Muslim forces. D．To strengthen their ruling power. 35．(2.5分)What can be a suitable title for the text? A．The Birth of a Brand New State B．The Evolution of the Name Spain C．The History of the Iberian Peninsula D．The Rise and Fall of Countries in Hispania （本题12.5分）Many people enjoy spending their vacations swimming, lying in the sun and staying at luxurious hotels. 36(2.5分) They head for the country, to one of the numerous United States national parks, and take advantage of the fresh air and many outdoor activities that nature has to offer. “I’m a successful lawyer from San Francisco,” says Gavin Murphy. “ 37(2.5分) I usually go to Yosemite National Park, where I sleep in a tent, hike, and enjoy the peace and quiet.” 38(2.5分) They can go fishing in a cold stream, hiking on a winding nature trail, or biking along scenic paths.

She was three, and as a new travel writer, I was excited about a solo (独自的) visit alone to South Carolina. Seeing photos of where I was going, she didn’t hold back her despair. “Why did you even have me if you were just going to leave me behind?” she sobbed. I tried to tell her that someday she’d understand. But as my husband, Evan, pried(拉开) her off my leg so I could leave, I wondered if my solo trip would be worth the effort of going without her. Returning home after a few days away, I felt energized and inspired. Mai a was happy to hear about my trip. She told me I could keep going on trips for work— but she’d come with me. Growing up on a sailing boat gave Mai a an early sense of adventure. Travelling is something Evan and I hoped :Maia would love. Our goal was to set out sailing again when she was seven, an age when she’d be able to remember the voyage. Until then, the plan was for me to travel on my own and build a writing career while we took Maia on short family trips. But then, a year later, an invitation came to experience the Rocky Mountaineer on a parent-child journey through the Rockies, which sounded too good to pass up. Ever since Mai a was little, she’d dreamed of travelling the world with her parents. Dressed in her fanciest train-riding clothes, four-year-old. Maia watched me take notes about the scenery as we traveled along the Fraser River in BC． Wanting to prove her worth as. an assistant, she began interviewing the Australian couple across the aisle from us.
