一、阅读理解(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)ABefore traveling around the world, take some time and find out what sightseeing destinations are. Some of those spots that most guides mention are the following thrilling attractions.Victoria FallsVictoria Falls has always been considered to be an incredible place worth taking pictures of. There are a lot of spots that tourists love. Some of them are very dangerous for people. Yet the brave are ready to overcome their fear for a shot of lifetime.Arctic Cliff FaceA cliff does not make the most comfortable place for camping. Camping on the ground is far safer anyway. Despite all the inconvenience, the new trend is rapidly gaining popularity among climbing enthusiasts and outdoor addicts.Auckland’s Sky TowerAuckland’s Sky Tower is popular with bungee jumpers. Some celebrities, such as Beyonce, have already tried it, which proves that the place is not only safe but popular as well. The tower is 630 feet tall. At the top of the structure there is an observation deck. Trust us, most of those reading this article would prefer to stay on the ground rather than climb up this scary structure.North Yungas RoadThe Road of Death is the right name given to a road in Bolivia. Hundreds of people die here every year. The major cause of all those accidents is the road. The problem is that it is too narrow and badly maintained while here the traffic is heavier than anywhere else. Nevertheless, it seems like tourists will continue visiting this strange road despite its scary nickname.1. What is Victoria Falls famous for?A. Its narrow and badly maintained roadB. Its dangerous but attractive spots for taking picturesC. Its scary structureD. Its thrilling camping2. North Yungas Road is called “the Road of Death” because ________. .A. the traffic is the heaviestB. it is built on the edge of the rockC. each year many people lose their lives thereD. there is no necessary protection equipment3. If you like bungee jumping, you can go to ________. .A. Victoria FallsB. Arctic Cliff FaceC. Auckland’s Sky TowerD. North Yungas Road4. What do the four places have in common?A. They are a bit life-threatening.B. They all have beautiful scenery.C. They are popular with climbers.D. They have been visited by celebrities.BHow do young children learn to have good values? How can parents teach their children about the importance of kindness and patience? At a time more and more parents worry about the violent images (暴力形象) their children see on TV and on the Internet. So many parents are turning to fairy tales. They want to teach their children how to behave in society by this way.It is believed that fairy tales have a great influence on children because they describe the two sides of good and evil (邪恶) very clearly. When children hear the tales, they learn to care about others’ feelings. In each tale, they can see that there are many different kinds of people in the world and that we all have a choice about what kind of person we want to be. We can choose to do good actions, rather than bad ones, in our lives.What kind of values can children learn from fairy tales? In The Princess and the Pea (《豌豆公主》), a poorly dressed girl says she is a princess. Few people believe her, so she is given a difficult test. When she passes the test, we learn that her dream comes true because she stays true to herself. In the Little Mermaid (《小美人鱼》), the mermaid, who lives under the sea, wishes to be with the humans on land. Through her experiences, we learn about the importance of living with and accepting other cultures.Teaching values is probably the main reason for encouraging children to read fairy tales. These tales can teach children lessons about human relationships that have been accepted around the world for many centuries. This might be the reason why they have been around for so long and will not disappear any time soon.5. Why do fairy tales have a great influence on children?A. Because fairy tales can teach them how to make a choice.B. Because fairy tales can help them get higher scores at school.C. Because they can learn how to avoid most difficulties in their lives.D. Because good and evil are shown in a way they can easily understand.6.The Little Mermaid may be helpful when children ________.A. are given a difficult testB. make friends with foreignersC. wish to be a princess or princeD. are going to lie to their parents7.The author writes the text mainly to ________.A. introduce some fairy talesB. talk about the history of fairy tales.C. discuss how to improve human relationshipsD. show how fairy tales help children shape valuesCMetro Pocket GuideMetrorail (地铁)Each passenger needs a farecard to enter and go out.

Trying to help injured, displaced or sick creatures can be heartbreaking; survival is never certain. However, when it works, it is simply beautiful.I got a rescue call from a woman in Muttontown. She had found a young owl(猫头鹰) on the ground. When I arrived, I saw a 2-to 3-week-old owl. It had already been placed in a carrier for safety.I examined the chick(雏鸟) and it seemed fine. If I could locate the nest, I might have been able to put it back, but no luck. My next work was to construct a nest and anchor(固定) it in a tree.The homeowner was very helpful. A wire basket was found. I put some pine branches into the basket to make this nest safe and comfortable. I placed the chick in the nest, and it quickly calmed down.Now all that was needed were the parents, but they were absent. I gave the homeowner a recording of the hunger screams of owl chicks. These advertise the presence of chicks to adults; they might also encourage our chick to start calling as well. I gave the owner as much information as possible and headed home to see what news the night might bring.A nervous night to be sure,but sometimes the spirits of nature smile on us all! The homeowner called to say that the parents had responded to the recordings. I drove over and saw the chick in the nest looking healthy and active. And it was accompanied in the nest by the greatest sight of all —LUNCH! The parents had done their duty and would probably continue to do so.12.What is unavoidable in the author’s rescue work according to paragraph 1?A. Getting injured in his work.B. Efforts made in vain.C. Creatures forced out of their homes.D. Feeling uncertain about his future.13. Why was the author called to Muttontown?A.To look at a baby owl.B. To cure a young owl.C. To rescue a woman.D. To take care of a woman.14. What made the chick calm down?A. Its parents.B. A recording.C.Some food.D. A new nest.15. How would the author feel about the outcome of the event?A.It’s unexpected.B. It’s humorous.C. It’s beautiful.D. It’s discouraging二、阅读七选五(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

The man who sent the e-mail didn’t actually want the food itself. He was writing on behalf of his mother, who adored the dish. He went on to explain that every time she visited Baltimore, the first place she wanted to go was Ekiben, but that she was now in the final stages of lung cancer at her home in Vermont, and that he was hoping to get the recipe to make it for her there.Steve Chu, one of the Asian restaurants co-owners, read the e-mail and quickly replied with an alternative suggestion. “Thanks for reaching out,” he wrote. “We’d like to meet you in Vermont and make it fresh for you.”Brandon Jones was stunned and e-mailed back, saying, “You do know that this is Vermont we’re talking about, right ” But Steve responded, “No problem. You tell us the date, time, and location and we’ll be there.”That Friday after work, a day after receiving Brandon’s e-mail, Chu loaded his truck with a hotplate and a cooler filled with ingredients and then headed for Vermont with his team. As soon as Chu and his team pulled into the parking lot, they got to work. They pulled down the gate of the pickup, hooked the hotplate to the truck’s power port, and started cooking and deep-frying. After neatly boxing everything up, they knocked on their customer’s door.His mother opened the door, recognizing the aroma and Chu. She was sohappy and touched to have that broccoli. She couldn’t believe it and cried later about their generosity.As for Chu, he couldn’t help remembering his loyal customer. “She always stood out,” he says. “She loves the food and made sure to tell us. She’s an amazing, sweet lady.”4.Why did Brandon email to EkibenA.To get the recipe of broccoli dish. B.To make a broccoli dish for himself.C.To book the broccoli dish in advance. D.To send the dish for his mother.5.Wh at is the Chu’s reply to Brandon’s emailA.He invited Brandon to Vermont.B.He wouldn’t like to share the recipe.C.He showed the gratitude to Brandon.D.He was willing to cook for Brandon’s mother.6.What is stressed in paragraph 4A.What the dish was made for B.How the dish was made C.Where the dish was made D.Who the dish was made for 7.Which of the following can be the best title of the passage A.Generosity, Appearing B.Gratitude, SpreadingC.Kindness, Delivered D.Surprise, OfferedIn a paper published recently in the journal Seabird, a RSPB teamdocumented the training, testing and performance of scent dogs(嗅觉犬) .Scent dogs have regularly been used for conservation for decades. They are particularly effective at detecting birds that breed (繁殖) in holes and are only active aboveground at night.Many seabirds show these same characteristics and some, including European storm petrels (海燕), are well-known for their strong scent. However, using scent dogs to detect seabirds has not been common practice in the UK.The storm petrel is the UK’s smallest seabird. They spend most of their time at sea, only coming to land to breed in summer. They come ashore under the cover of darkness and nest underground in holes. Manx shearwaters (大西洋鹱) are similarly ocean-loving, breeding on land in the UK before going to the South American coast for winter.These two species are threatened in the UK. However, surveying them is difficult due to their behaviours. The RSPB researchers tried to detect them by using their dogs.Dog A, called Islay, was trained to locate and indicate storm petrel feathers. Dog B, called Dewi, is used to detect Manx shearwater holes. Dewi had learnt to distinguish between occupied and unoccupied holes and lie down to indicate occupied holes.The study found that, with sufficient training and reward, Islay could findthe precise location of the storm petrel and differentiate between storm petrel and shearwaters cents with 100% reliability. However, care was needed to ensure no combination of scents occurred. Similarly, Dewi had a high success rate in finding shearwater nest holes, although he was less successful at locating deep holes, probably because there was less shearwaters cent at the entrance.Mark Bolton, RSPB principal conservation scientist and lead author of the paper, says, “The recent use of scent dogs to locate the nest holes of storm petrels on the, Isle of May is further evidence of the potential of scent dogs for seabird monitoring and I hope that this study will encourage more conservation practitioners to use scent dogs in their work.”8.What do we know about the storm petrelA.It is the smallest bird in the world.B.It returns to land during the winter.C.It breeds on the South American coast.D.It is active at night and has a strong scent.9.What could Islay do according to the studyA.Distinguish the combination of scents.B.Find the precise location of a small seabird.C.Tell storm petrel and shearwaters cents apart.D.Confirm the entrance to a shearwater nest hole.10.What does Mark Bolton think of their studyA.It is significant for the Isle of May.B.It aids seabird monitoring and conservation.C.It improves the detection capacities of dogs.D.It delivers ground-breaking insights into seabirds.11.What would be the best title for the textA.Scent dogs helping detect seabirds in holesB.Scent dogs serving to find nests for seabirdsC.Scent dogs first used for guarding endangered animalsD.Scent dogs revealing scents of several kinds of seabirdsDr. David Hetherington has spent over a decade looking at the feasibility (可行性) of reintroducing the Eurasian lynx (欧洲猞猁) to Scotland. In his new book, The Lynx and Us, Hetherington takes an in-depth look at the many issues surrounding this topic.Hetherington begins there introduction discussion by establishing the history and ecology of the lynx, in relation to both human-lynx coexistence and geographical variations in distribution. Habitat and range requirements, prey (猎物) preferences and hunting methods are also detailed.Armed with this background information, the reader is then taken through the nitty-gritty of lynx reintroduction by addressing the potential issues, many of which are based on human-wildlife conflict,such as safety and the impact of wild lynx, with much of the information backed up by conservation and research findings associated with the reintroductions of lynx in Europe. Hetherington addresses the significant problem of man-made barriers such as roads and rails. There are also considerations regarding prey species that are unused to having natural predators (捕食者) in their midst and the impact on prey populations. The book looks at the feasibility of lynx reintroduction in the UK. While the reintroduction of lynx to Scotland is shown to be ecologically feasible, how desirable is it Hetherington addresses each of the issues in-turn, using the significant knowledgebase that now exists regarding lynx ecology and the findings of research into lynx and their reintroductions elsewhere.For anyone with an interest in lynx re wilding, The Lynx and Us is the “go-to” book.Peter Cairns, director of there wilding charity SCOTLAND: The Big Picture, the book’s publisher, says, “With a growing national discussion about the advantages of restoring missing native species, it’s important that we all have access to balanced, factual information on which to base our opinions. That’s what this book sets out to provide.”12.Which background information is absent from The Lynx and Us A.What lynx eat. B.How lynx live.C.How lynx and people coexist. D.What lynx reintroduction will lead to.13.Which of the following can best replace the underlined part “the nitty-gritty” in paragraph 3A.The most basic causes. B.The most useful functions.C.The most important details. D.The most common methods. 14.What does Peter Cairns want to stressA.The popularity of The Lynx and Us.B.The importance of The Lynx and Us.C.The different ways of voicing our opinions.D.The advantages of restoring missing native species.15.What is the textA.A book review. B.A research report.C.A description of lynx. D.An introduction to a scientist.二、七选五Prepare for a testIn your school, tests or quizzes maybe a part of your regular classroom work.

Working in thescientific world dominated (支配) by men, she never gave up or lowered herstandards even if unequally treated. After graduating from the former NationalCentral University in Nanjing in 1926, Wu registered at the University ofCalifornia, Berkeley at the age of 24 to continue her study in physics.During her 44-year career as a nuclear physicist, Wu's pioneeringachievements won her nicknames such as "Chinese Madame Curie", "queen ofnuclear research" and "first lady of physics". She was the first woman to bepresident of American Physical Society, the first female winner of theComstock Prize in physics given by the US National Academy of Sciences, thefirst person to receive the Wolf Prize in physics, the first honorary doctorateawarded by Princeton University to a woman, and the first female professor ofphysics in the history of Columbia University.To get accurate results from experiments, she worked very hard day andnight at a laboratory and gained a reputation (名声) for accuracy. There was asaying among physicists: If the experiment was done by Wu, it must be correct.She was always very careful in experiments, spending a great deal of timecalibrating (校准) instruments. She didn't start collecting data until she fullyunderstood the instruments. Her experiments overturned many previousexperimental results and theories, said Samuel Chao Chung Ting, Americanphysicist and Nobel Prize winner.On Feb 16, 1997, Wu died in the US.

And it haschanged my entire attitude towards life.In my freshman year at high school, I was shy, had low self-confidenceand turned away from seemingly impossible challenges. On the first day offreshman practice, the team warmed up with a game of touchfootball.However, during the game, I didn't run as hard as I could, nor did I try toescape from my defender (防守者) and get open. The fact of the matter wasthat I really didn't want to be the one to make mistakes if I dropped the ball andthe play didn't succeed. I didn't want to take the responsibility of helping theteam because I was too afraid of making a mistake. That aspect of my characterled the first year of my high school life. I avoided asking questions in class,afraid they might be considered too stupid by my classmates.During my second-year season, my position at backup guard(替补后卫)led me to play in the games since another backup guard on my team wasseriously injured. From then on, I made mistakes sometimes and was criticised(批评) by my coaches indeed. However, those criticisms didn't make myteammates look down upon me, but they helped me a lot. At times I made greatplays, for which I was congratulated. Now, I feel like a changed person.Over the years, playing football has taught me what it takes to succeed.From months of tough practices, I have learned to work hard. From my coachesand teammates, I have learned to work well with others in a group. But mostimportantly, I have attained self-confidence. I realize that it is necessary to riskfailure in order to obtain success. Now, I welcome the challenge.8.What sort of boy was the author in his early years of high school?A.Determined.B.Energetic.C.Alarmed.D.Adaptable.9.What do you know about the teammates?A.They were seriously injured during the games.B.They took the author as the best backup guard.C.They are unwilling to perform with the author.D.They are completely warm-hearted and helpful.10.What was the most important thing the author learned from playing footballA.You can not judge a tree by its bark.B.Self-confidence is the key to success.C.The last drop makes the cup run over.D.There is a small choice in rotten apples.11.What's the author's purpose in writing the textA.To share his growth experience.B.To look back upon his school days.C.To express his love for football.D.To thank his coaches and teammates.阅读理解Chinese astronauts have successfully grown rice seedlings (幼苗) aboardthe Tiangong space station and this experiment may offer key insights into howastronauts can grow food to support long-term space missions, experts saidon Monday. This experiment is the first to produce the complete life cycle ofthe plant, which begins with a seed and ends with a mature () plantproducing new seeds.The breakthrough was conducted in the Wentian space laboratory, whichwas launched into orbit on July 28, 2022. Three astronauts were conducting theexperiment smoothly and testing the plants according to the plan."The rice seedlings are growing very wel," said Zheng Huiqiong, aresearcher of the task, adding that the experiment also contained seedlings of asmall flowering plant often used by scientists to study mutations (变异). "Theastronauts will keep monitoring the plants, and if it is successful, they willcollect the newly produced seeds and bring them back to Earth for furtherstudies," she noted.The flowering stage is crucial for plant reproductive development. "Wewant to investigate how micro-gravity can affect the plant flowering time andwhether it is possible to use the micro-gravity environment to control therelated process," she said.Since the 1980s, China has been taking seeds of rice and other crops tospace to help them mutate and produce higher yields once they were planted onEarth. But growing rice in orbit is a different challenge due to the toughconditions of space such as micro-gravity and lack of air.Rice has been a main food for astronauts since the early days of spaceexploration. Freeze-dried chicken and rice was the menu for the Apollo /mission, which carried the first humans to land on the moon in July 1969."But if we want to land on and explore Mars, bringing food from Earth isnot enough to provide for the astronauts' long journey and mission in space.We have to find a food source for long term space explorations, Zheng added. 12.What's the significance of Chinese recent space rice experiment?A.It enables human beings to move to another planet.B.It helps other countries to plant rice out of the globe.C.Human beings is likely to explore further outer space.D.It inspires more countries to join in space explorations.13.What does the underlined word "it" in paragraph 3 refer to?A.The mutation.B.The experiment.C.The transport.D.The exploration.14.Why have crop seeds been brought to space since the last century?A.To figure out how to create an earth-like environment.B.To develop new crop species with strong ability to adapt.C.To examine the impact of micro-gravity on crop-planting.D.To promote conventional crops and increase crop harvest.15.Where is the text most probably taken from?A.A science newspaper.B.A medical magazine.C.A history website.D.A fashion programme.二、第二部分阅读理解,第二节任务型阅读(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

But Born in China, which came out on Aug 2, may be important for Chinese filmmakers who want to get into nature -themed films. The movie, directed by Chinese filmmaker Lu Chuan, was shot in theQinghai-Tibet Plateau and shows the animals’ lives during different seasons. Born in China not only brings to audiences the lives of animals
that are rarely seen in the wild—giant pandas, snow leopards, and golden monkeys, but also shows Chinese traditional culture. A symbol of China, the giant panda is both black and white. Its body is thought to show yin and yang, which ancient Chinese ideas were based on. The panda’s gentle nature shows how yin and yang lead to peace. It can be seen in the film when a panda mother guides her baby to look for independence and e*plore the world. Unlike the shy pandas, monkeys always have strong personalities. The Monkey King in China’s most famous novel Journey to the West has many conflicting traits(特点). It stands for not only impatience but also cleverness and energy. Born in China follows a 2-year-old golden monkey who leaves his family, but then returns and understands the meaning of responsibility. Just as the golden monkey, a mother snow leopard also faces difficulty in raising her babies in the wild. The leopards, known for their rapid attacks and quick footwork(脚步), have inspired a form of pictographic(象形拳) in Shaolin martial arts(武术). "Born in China is a means to show off Chinese traditional culture,〞 director Lu told the reporter. "Chinese people have learned a lot from wild animals since ancient times. This is why I shot this nature-themed documentary.〞 21. How is Born in China special according to the article" A. It shows Chinese traditional culture through the lives of animals. B. It’s considered the best nature-themed film to e out of China. C. It’s the first big screen wildlife documentary ever made in China. D. It shows audiences the lives of rare animals. 22. We can learn from the article that in Born in China, _______.
