(2021独家原创试题)
The Great Wall was built in different times and dynasties, largely constructed in the three dynasties—Qin Dynasty, Han Dynasty and Ming Dynasty. The most powerful Yuan Dynasty and the last Qing Dynasty did nothing about the building of the Great Wall since they were “barbarians” against whom the Great Wall of China had been built.
For historical and geographical reasons, the Great Wall of China doesn’t form a continuous line and in fact exits in different sections. The official survey shows the Great Wall now totals 21,196 km long with the Great Wall built in Ming Dynasty as long as 8,851 km.
There are 8 official locations of the Great Wall around Beijing open to visitors at present. These 8 sections of the Great Wall is tamed, renovated or half restored, and some parts are still left wild and original. Safety measures have been taken on these official sections of the Great Wall with guardrails if necessary, security guards, restaurants, toilets and parking lots.
Jiankou Great Wall is not an official location for Great Wall hiking, but favored by wild Great Wall trekkers. The 4-hour scenic walk from the unrestored Jiankou Great Wall to the restored Mutianyu Great Wall, in particular, entices a consistent flow of visitors. Hikers should take great care while hiking Jiankou Great Wall.
About 400 km west of Beijing, Datong Great Wall is the epitome of the tamped earth wall in the northern China. The Hebei Section of the Great Wall, which includes the wall near Beijing, is the most luxurious section in Chinese history. They are made of large bricks and stones with a length of over 1,000 km.
If you visit the Great Wall for the first time, you need to plan ahead to know when to visit, which section to visit and how to visit. You can either travel all alone doing all the researching on your own or turn to a local travel agency such as Tour Beijing for arranging time-saving and a relaxing day trips to the Great Wall.

A.Ming Dynasty.　　　　B.Yuan Dynasty.
C.Qin Dynasty.　　　 　D.Han Dynasty.
32.Which dynasty didn’t build the Great Wall
A.Qin Dynasty.　　　　B.Han Dynasty.

33.How long was the Great Wall built in the Ming Dynasty
A.21,196 km.　　　　B.8,851 km.

34.What’s probably the meaning of the underlined word “barbarians” in the first paragraph
A.Wild people.　　　　B.Persons with good manners.

阅读下文并按题目后的单词要求数量回答问题。
The seed vault(种子地窖)
A lot of countries need different kinds of seeds so that they can plant them again. There is an important reason for this. Sometimes plants can’t grow in a country because of bad weather or disease, so farmers need new seeds.
You can keep seeds in a “seed vault”. It’s a place at a special temperature. The seeds don’t grow, but they can live for a long time. Norway has the biggest seed vault in the world—the Svalbard Global Seed Vault—and it has seeds from a lot of different countries.
The vault is on the island of Spitsbergen. The island is about one thousand kilometers from the North Pole. It’s a very cold place so it’s good for seeds. Above the ground, the doorway is small, but inside, the building is huge. You walk down a long corridor(走廊), which is one hundred and thirty meters inside a mountain. At the end of it, there are three large areas with seeds.
There are about half a million kinds of seeds inside the vault. For example, there are kinds of seeds for rice from Asia and Africa, 32 kinds of seeds for potatoes from Ireland and seeds for different tomatoes from the USA.
The seed vault has space for a lot more seeds. You can put about 2.2 billion(十亿) seeds inside. The seeds can live here for thousands of years because of the cold temperature of -18℃. So, in the future, humans can grow any seed they want. In other words, the seed vault is the difference between life and death.

注意:1.词数:80左右(短文的开头与结尾已给出,不计入词数);
2.不得透露学校、姓名等任何个人信息,否则不予评分。
Ⅰ.1.答案　B　考查名词辨析。句意:我们来讨论一下世界奇观吧。difference区别;discussion讨论;sign标志,招牌;decision决定。have a discussion“进行讨论”为固定短语。故选B。
2.答案　D　考查形容词最高级。句意:——2020年,中国登山者再次登上珠峰顶峰!——太令人振奋了!对于大量的登山爱好者而言,珠穆朗玛峰是最受欢迎的地方之一。由空格前后可知,此处为“one of+the+adj.最高级+名词复数”短语,应用popular的最高级形式,且最高级前要加定冠词the。故选D。

6.答案　C　考查数词的用法。句意:现在,数百万的农民离开他们的家乡去城里寻找工作。million、thousand或hundred前有具体数字时不用复数,直接修饰名词复数形式,因此B、D两项是错误形式;在表达不确切的数目时,要在million、thousand或hundred后加-s,并和of连用,由此可知A项也是错误形式。故选C。
7.答案　B　考查时态辨析。句意:——你叔叔在哪里 ——他去美国了,他将在纽约待两周。has been to曾经去过(现在已经回来了,不在那里了);has gone to去某地了(可能已经到了,也可能在去的路上);has been in一直在某地。根据语境先排除A、 C两项,再根据关键词“for two weeks”可知,他叔叔将在纽约待两周,因此第二个空应用一般将来时。故选B。

13.答案　C　考查非谓语动词。句意:我很期待在不久的将来与你见面。短语look forward to 中to是介词,后接动词时要用动名词,故选C。
14.答案　A　考查动词时态。句意:世界每时每刻都在变化,中国也每时每刻都在变化。本句强调每时每刻世界和中国都在变化,现在进行时可表示某事一直在发生,故选A。

[语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了英国最著名的历史景点巨石阵。
46.receives　句意:每年它都接待超过七十五万名参观者。receive接待。根据时间状语Every year确定用一般现在时。主语是it,动词用第三人称单数形式。
47.longest　联系句中的“especially in June”以及巨石阵所处的地理位置可判断,六月份北半球白昼最长,故推断句意为:人们喜欢去这个地方,特别是在六月份,因为他们想要在一年中白昼最长的这一天观看日出。根据句中的“of the year”确定用形容词最高级longest,意为“最长的”。
48.tried　句意:许多年来,历史学家认为巨石阵是古代的领导人试图与神明交流的庙堂。try to do sth. 意为“试图做某事”。根据句中的was确定用一般过去时。
49.centuries　句意:然而历史学家Paul Stoker认为这不可能是真的,因为巨石阵建造于很多世纪之前。用名词century“世纪”。many修饰可数名词复数,故填centuries。
50.put　根据语境以及空格前的were确定这里要用一般过去时的被动语态。故填过去分词put。
51.directly　句意:在仲夏的早上,阳光直射在石头的中心。用副词directly修饰动词shine,意为“直接地”。
52.prevent　句意:他们认为这些石头可以预防疾病,使人们保持健康。根据下文的“keep people healthy”可知此处用prevent,意为“预防”。情态动词can后跟动词原形。
53.from　句意:当你在那里散步的时候,你可以感受到来自脚部的能量,向上传遍你的全身。故用介词from,意为“来自”。
54.what　句意:没有人能够搞清楚巨石阵是用来干什么的,但是大多数人同意这些石头(摆放)的位置一定有一种特殊的目的。这里用what引导宾语从句,在从句中what作介词for的宾语,表示“为了什么”。
55.or　句意:一些人认为它可能是一个安葬地,或者是缅怀祖先的地方。故用连词or,意为“或者”。
Ⅵ.答案　56.shone　57.stream　58.wonders　59.silent　60.electricity
Ⅶ.答案　61.more than　62.In my　63.metres wide　64.on the top of　65.went through

The weather here is quite mild. The wind blows gently in spring and it often rains. In summer, it is hot and many people would like to go swimming. In autumn, the air is cool and dry. In winter, it is cold, but it seldom snows.
Guangzhou is known as the Flower City because flowers can be seen all the year round. Visitors can enjoy themselves here;meanwhile, Guangzhou is famous for its delicious food, like dim sum. It is really something that you can’t miss.
If you come to Guangzhou, I strongly recommend that you(should)visit the Canton Tower, which is the landmark of Guangzhou. You can get a bird’s-eye view of Guangzhou.
Guangzhou is waiting for you.
