The Guardian described it as one of the “seven wonders of the modern world” . Construction on the HZMB began in 2009 and cost about 120 billion yuan. The bridge links Hong Kong and Macao to the Chinese mainland city of Zhuhai, CGTN reported.The HZMB is unique in many ways. It’s designed to have a service life of 120 years, 20 years longer than most bridges. It’ s not just a bridge, but also part tunnel and part island. In one section the bridge turns into a 6.7-km undersea tunnel that passes through two man-made islands. The tunnel is the world’s longest undersea tunnel for road traffic, allowing large ships to continue passing through the sea area above the tunnel.The bridge’s engineers had to think of many environmental factors in order to protect the surrounding environment while building the bridge. Chinese white dolphins, an endangered species that lives in the area, were a particular concern.The HZMB will make it much more convenient to travel between the three areas it connects. It will shorten the travel time from Hong Kong to Zhuhai from four hours to about 45 minutes.By drawing local cities and regions closer together, the bridge will help in the area’s development. It is expected to drive the economic development of Hong Kong, Macao and nine Guangdong cities, South China Morning Post noted.11.How long does it take to travel from Hong Kong to Zhuhai through HZMB?A.4 hours.B.2 hours.C.1.5 hours.D.45 minutes.12.What does the underlined word “unique” in Paragraph Two possibly mean?A.usual B.special C.beautiful D.interesting13.The bridge’s engineers have to think of all these things EXCEPT________ .A.the service life B.the animals aroundC.the speed of wind D.the news media14.Which of the following is TRUE about the HZMB?A.HZMB is not only a bridge, but also part tunnel and part island.B.The size of HZMB is 60 times larger than that of the Eiffel Tower.C.Large ships cannot pass through the sea area above the HZMB tunnel.D.HZMB is helpful to the development of Hong Kong, Macao and all Guangdong cities.15.Why does the Guardian describe HZMB as one of the “seven wonders of the modern world”?A.Because it only takes nine years to build the bridge.B.Because HZMB is the longest cross-sea bridge in the world.C.Because the life of HZMB is much longer than any other bridge.D.Because HZMB makes it easier to travel from Hong Kong to Zhuhai.BStephen Hawking, a disabled man with a strong will, who died on March 14, 2018, was born in Oxford, UK, in 1942. He was a world famous scientist and expert on space and time. Stephen was trying to find the answers to some very big questions, such as: How did the universe begin? How will it end?When he was a student at university, Stephen studied math and science. Then, at the age of twenty, he became very ill. He was so young, but the doctors said to his family, “He has only two more years to live.”The doctors were wrong. He didn’t die. He couldn’t walk, but he used a wheelchair. He talked with the help of a computer. After Oxford, Stephen went to Cambridge University. Three years later, in 1965, he became a doctor of philosophy (哲学).Because of his health problems, it was difficult for him to draw diagrams or to write. So he started to think in pictures. With this new way of thinking, he became one of the most famous scientists in the world. Then in 1988, he wrote his first important book, A Brief History of Time. It sold about 25 million copies in about 40 different languages.Stephen Hawking made great achievements in cosmology with his studies searching the answers to the Big Bang and Black Hole in the universe, which brought him great fame as a leading figure in the science world even though he became totally unable to move in two thirds of his whole life.16.What did Stephen Hawking search for throughout his life?A.He studied philosophy and became a doctor at Cambridge University.B.He was so sick that he couldn’t walk and tried his best to search for his cure.C.He tried his best to search the secrets in science such as the origin of universe, and the end of it.D.He just wanted to tell the story of time in his book.17.How long did the doctors think Hawking could live when he was 20 years old?A.Four more years. B.Two more years.C.Five more years.D.Six more years.18.How did Hawking manage to become one of the top scientists in the world according to the passage?A.By looking at pictures.B.By thinking in pictures.C.By drawing pictures and diagrams.D.By typing on his computer.19.What may probably be the meaning of the underlined word “cosmology” in the last paragraph?A.The study of universe.B.The study of math.C.The study of physics.D.The study of time.20.What made Stephen Hawking achieve great success in science even though he was unable to move during two thirds of his life according to the passage?A.His education.B.His knowledge.C.His bad luck.D.His strong will.CDo you have a lucky number? Many people have a special number and they hope that it will bring them good luck. In China, people think that, some numbers are lucky or unlucky because those numbers sound similar to some Chinese words that mean something good or bad.For example, the word for number 8 sounds like “making lots of money” in Chinese. So, people think it a very lucky number. Some people will even spend much more money to have 8s in their phone numbers. Do you remember the Summer Olympic Games in Beijing? It opened at 8: 08 p. m. on August 8, 2008.The number 9 is also a lucky number because of its connection to the emperors of China. There were nine dragons on emperors’ robes (龙袍) and it’s told in many Chinese ancient stories that the dragon has nine children. The number of 9 also means “long lasting”. In China, a man would send 99 or 999 roses to his lover with the wishes that the love between them will be long lasting.What’s more, Chinese think that the number 2 is lucky as it’s said that “all good things come in pairs”. For example, during wedding celebrations, you usually find pairs of red candles, double pillows and many other things in pairs and people often give gifts in pairs for someone’s birthday, wedding or other celebrations.So what’s an unlucky number in China? It might be 4. Many Chinese people see 4 as an unlucky numberbecause it sounds similar to the Chinese word “death”. Because of this, many buildings don’t have the fourth floor, and just call it the fifth floor. In Hong Kong, some buildings even skip all floors with the numbered 4, such as 4, 14, 24, 34 and all 40-49 floors. So, a building whose highest floor is 50 may have only 36 floors actually.21.What makes Chinese people believe a number is lucky or unlucky?A.the shape of the numbers.B.the quantity of the numbers.C.the history of the numbers.D.the sound of the number in Chinese.22.Some people would pay much more money for ________A.the Summer Olympic Games.B.the phone numbers with 8s.C.the emperors’ robes.D.the wedding celebrations.23.Why would a man like to send 99 roses to his lover?A.Because he thinks that women love roses the best.B.Because the number 9 has a connection o the emperors of China.C.Because he hopes that he will be in love with the woman for a long time.D.Because he wishes that he will have lots of children with the woman in the future.24.In Hong Kong, you may NOT find the ________ floor in some buildings.A.50th B.35th C.46th D.17th25.What is the purpose of the author?A.To describe numbers and ancient stories in China.B.To introduce lucky and unlucky numbers in Chinese culture.C.To help readers find their lucky and unlucky numbers.D.To compare different meanings of numbers in different countries.三、阅读还原(共5小题,每小题1分,满分5分)根据短文内容,从所给的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Where may this passage come from?A. A storybook.B. A newspaper.C. A geography magazine.BSince it was on in July this year, the animated(动画的) film Chang’an has caught many people’s interest. The story in the film happens in the Tang Dynasty(朝代), a golden age of Chinese history, and tells about Li Bai and his close friend Gao Shi. Both of them were among the most famous poets at that time. Some other poets also appear in the film, such as Du Fu, Wang Wei and Meng Haoran. They work hard to make themselves and the country better.There are 48 well-known Tang poems in the almost three-hour-long film. For example, one of them is Li Bai’s poem Leaving the White Emperor Town at Dawn. Li Bai wrote the poem to show his happiness returning home from exile(流放). Many children recited(朗诵) poetry along with the poets when watching the film. They felt excited because those familiar(熟悉的) names became real people.Chang’an was the capital of the Tang Dynasty, one of the world’s largest and richest cities at the time. The movie’s Chinese name is taken from a poem by Chen Zilong, a poet in the Ming Dynasty. In the poem, Chang’an is the dream place for Tang poets.The film is educational, too. It tells the stories of these great people in a special way, so that we can have a deeper understanding(理解) of our history and classic works.24. In which dynasty does the story in the film happen?A.

Today, AI humans are popular all around the world.As we all know, AI humans now can be like real people. They can do real people’s voices and moves and even copy(模仿) their personalities(性格). But what else can they do? And what can only be done by humans but not AI?AI humans today appear in many ways. They can be idols, vloggers, reporters and more. For example, China Daily(中国日报) has its own AI reporter, Yuanxi. She can speak English and covers the wonderful world of Chinese culture. She can process data(处理数据) fast. This can help the newsroom work faster.In February 2022, Chinese tech company(科技公司) Baidu showed its first AI idol Xi Jiajia. She can change her makeup and how she dresses, and can even do livestreams(直播)! During China Fashion Week in September 2022, Xi Jiajia became famous in an online virtual(虚拟的) fashion show.“Virtual idols could do something that people cannot do in the real world, such as time travel,” said Liu Qian from Baidu. Liu took the AI guide as an example. They can appear to be in different places and from different times in history.But AI humans have their disadvantages. Take Yuanxi as an example, she still doesn’t have much human touch and EQ(情商). These are something that only a real human can have. What’s more, virtual people can’t team up and communicate(交流) with others in real time.28. What do we know about AI reporter Yuanxi?A. She teaches the cultures of different countries.B.

Tian Lei spends all his time practicing and performing on the stageD. the documentary aims to introduce people who works in DunhuangBLast year I went to the Rio de Janeiro Carnival (狂欢节), and it blew my mind. It had been my dream to attend the famous carnival for many years, so I was excited. However, the moment I arrived, I was a little bit nervous because there were so many people on the streets. They say that five or six million people come to Rio during carnival time and about two million of them are on the streets on any given day. Luckily, I had a local guide, my sister’s friend Ronnie. He said he would take care of me and show me around at the carnival. He did not let me down.Well, the carnival is all about the samba (桑巴舞). It’s a style of music and dance which comes from Africa. Samba music is usually fast and exciting with a lot of drums and harmonic vocals (和声). It is the kind of music that you couldn’t help dancing to. And I was learning that as I followed Ronnie through the crowd.Ronnie had got us tickets for the samba Parade (游行) inside the Sambadrome where the top samba schools take part in the competition. But we still had a long way to go through the street parties. He said most people enjoy the carnival by making their own parties in the street.So, you must be wondering how the samba parade was in Sambadrome. ★. Ronnie and I never made into Sambadrome. We spent the day moving from one street party to another. There were more snacks, more drinks and lots of dancing. Do I regret missing the main parade? Not at all. I experienced the carnival like the locals, and itwas truly amazing.61. The underlined words “it blew my mind” in the passage probably mean __________.A. it made me tiredB. it brought me childhood memoriesC. it raised some questions in my mindD. it made me very surprised and excited62. After the writer arrived at the carnival, __________.A. she lost her wayB. she was too shy to danceC. she was received by a local guideD. she felt sorry for the crowded streets63. Why didn’t the writer regret missing the main parade?A. Because she met some amazing local peopleB. Because she made her own parties in the streetC. Because she celebrated the festival in a local wayD. Because the ticket for the parade was not expensive64. Which of the following sentence can be put in ★?A. I agree with youB. It’s really a good ideaC. Well, I’m afraid I can’t tell youD. But I have never heard of it before65. What would be the best title for the passage?A. An Amazing CarnivalB. An Unforgettable Street PartyC. A Story Behind the Samba ParadeD. Learning Samba in Rio de JaneiroCI grew up in the countryside of Poland. It’s an area where skiing is popular, but my family was poor. I couldn’t afford to ride the ski lift, so I used to hike up with the skis on my back. It turned out that this was good practice.K2 is nicknamed “savage (野蛮的) mountain”. You hear tragic stories: For every four people who reach the summit, one dies. I was too afraid to even think about skiing down it. Even the best ski mountaineers thought it impossible.But that changed after a training expedition (考察) to Broad Peak. I got a clear look at K2’sextremely large face, and it inspired me. Over time, my skills improved and, by 2017, I didn’t feel the fear anymore. I began preparations.Why attempt such a feat (壮举)? I love nature, and I love setting goals. To be the first to do it just adds to the challenge. Fear is an important part of life, but to ski down K2, I had to stop being afraid.At the base camp, I felt calm and prepared. There were no emotions or doubts--I just knew I could do it. But there were challenges. At the third base camp, 7, 000 meters up, my safety guy suffered severe back pain. We waited for 36 hours after he got better, and I decided to proceed. In total, it took about three days to reach the summit.For many climbers, getting to the peak of K2 would be the defining moment of their lives. For me, it was where the real challenge began. Skiing down a mountain demands patience and endurance (耐力).The most dangerous part was the Messner Traverse. It’s pure ice, up to a75-degree angle in places, with drops on either side. You need to keep your turns and movements smooth and confident. No one had challenged it before, so it was a relief to cross it.In total, going down the mountain took about seven hours. When I finally skied into camp, I was too tired tostand up.I am so proud of what I achieved. No one thought it could be done. It taught me the value of patience and that nobody else can make your dreams come true.66. From the first paragraph, we know that the author __________.A. was poor at skiingB. was interested in skiingC. lived in Poland where everyone liked skiingD. preferred hiking with skis on his back to riding the ski lift67. Paragraph 2 mainly talks about __________.A. how difficult it is to ski down K2B. why the author wanted to challenge K2C. how many mountaineers ever reached K2D. howK2 got the nickname “savage mountain”68. The underlined word “proceed” in paragraph 5 probably means __________.A. give upB. go onC. get upD. go back69. What are the best words to describe the author?A. Confident and honest.B. Patient and determined.C. Understanding and careful.D. Hardworking and helpful.70. From the passage, we can infer that __________.A. the author made full preparations but failedB. no one believed in what the author had doneC. the author was never afraid of skiing down K2D. the author’s positive attitude without fear leads to successPart TwoV.
