第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）
第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
The Terracotta Army is one of the must-visit attractions for all travelers to China. The attraction is located in Xi’an, in west China’s Shaanxi Province.
What’s special
The Terracotta Army is the buried army of Qin Shi Huang, an ancient Chinese emperor. These ancient sculptures were built and buried over two thousand years ago near the city of Xi’an. They were discovered in 1974 by farmers digging a well looking for underground water. Over eight thousand terracotta warriors and horses have been uncovered since then. Each warrior is made of clay (黏土). They are around two meters tall. The sculptures are so detailed that it is possible to guess the age, rank and personality of each one. None of the soldiers are the same.
The best time to visit
The Terracotta Army is an indoor attraction, which is not likely to be affected by weather, so it can be visited all year round.
As the museum is one of the must-visit attractions in China, it is crowded most of the time. We suggest our customers to avoid the following periods when the museum is particularly crowded:
●National Day Holiday (October 1-7), when it is fully packed.
●Labour Day Holiday
●Summer days
Weather in winter is dry, cold and the least comfortable, and it’s also the worst season for air quality, but it’s also low season that is fit for visiting.
Travel style: private, group or independent
A private tour means a lot of flexibility (灵活性), and you will be well taken care of by a private guide and a driver. The museum is crowded most of the time, but our guides know how to escape the crowds, and help you to enjoy more in the museum. See our 3-Day Terracotta Warriors Private Tour.
Going with a group you won’t get lost, but it lacks flexibility and personal service.
Travelling on your own, you may meet a lot of trouble, such as wasting time on finding a taxi or public bus to the attraction, lining up for tickets, reading maps, making sense of Chinese signs, etc.
21. What can we know about the Terracotta Army
A. The warriors are of the same age. B. The warriors are made of clay.
C. It is closed on rainy days. D. It is usually displayed outdoors.
22. Which is the best time to avoid crowds
A. Summer holidays. B. National Day Holiday.
C. Labour Day Holiday. D. Clear winter days.
23. If you want to travel with least trouble, which should you choose
A. A private tour. B. A tour group.
C. Travelling on your own. D. A family tour.
B
We know that many animals do not stay in one place. Birds, fish and other animals move from one place to another at a certain time. They move for different reasons: most of them move to find food more easily, but others move to get away from the places that are too crowded.
When cold weather comes, many birds move to warmer places to find food. Some fish give birth in warm water and move to cold water to feed. The most famous migration (迁移) is probably the migration of the fish which is called “salmon”. The fish is born in fresh water but it travels many miles to salt water. There it spends its life. When it is cold, it returns to its birthplace in fresh water. Then it gives birth and dies there. In northern Europe, there is a kind of mouse. They leave their mountain homes when they become too crowded. They move down to the low land. Sometimes they move all the way to the seaside, and many of them are killed when they fell into the sea.
Recently, scientists have studied the migration of a kind of lobster. Every year, when the season of bad weather arrives, the lobsters get into a long line and start to walk across the floor of the ocean. Nobody knows why they do this, and nobody knows where they go.
So sometimes we know why humans and animals move from one place to another, but at other times we don’t. Maybe things just like to travel.
24. Why do most animals move from one place to another at a certain time
A. To give birth. B. To enjoy warmer weather.
C. To find beautiful places. D. To find food more easily.
25. Where does the fish called “salmon” spend a long life
A. In salt water. B. In rivers. C. In fresh water. D. At its birthplace
26. The lobsters move ______.
A. to the fresh water B. in summer
C. across the sea floor D. to find more food
27. What is the main idea of the passage
A. Animals move in order to find food more easily.
B. The migration of the fish called “salmon” is the most famous migration.
C. Living things move from one place to another because they like to travel.
D. Animals migrate for different reasons.

When her classmates were having a good time, Molly sat at the picnic table alone. She remained embarrassed around her classmates. She seemed unsure of what to do or say, yet I could see her eyes longing for acceptance. Many students had already decided that her friendship would not be worth the energy required to overcome the embarrassment. Others laughed at her. Most ignored her—except for one.
Brianna was making the other students laugh, as usual. “Brianna, do you see Molly down there Would you mind walking down there and inviting her to come up here with the rest of us ” I said.

She offered an insincere smile, grasped the green paper, and headed down the hill.
As the rest of the children screamed and laughed, my eyes locked on Brianna as she neared the picnic table. Molly could be difficult to get along with, and I wouldn’t have been surprised if she sent Brianna back alone, refusing her invitation. When she encouraged herself to a standing position, I sighed with relief.
Minutes later, I felt a tap on my shoulder. “Here. Mrs. D.” Brianna handed me the D-buck. “Why ” I asked. “I shouldn’t keep this.” Her eyes fell to her feet, guilt showing from her quiet voice. “I don’t want Molly to think I only went to get her so I could earn the money. She’s my friend.”
A moment later, they were all laughing again, and who should I see among them, laughing for the first time that week Molly.

After months of expectation and secrecy, the official mascot (吉祥物) of the 2022 Winter Olympic Games—a giant panda-inspired cartoon character made its first public debut with cheers at Beijing’s Shougang Ice Hockey Arena.
The panda is named “Bing Dwen Dwen” in Chinese. Bing means “ice” in Chinese, while Dwen Dwen suggests “health and cleverness”—characteristics also shared by pandas.
Pandas are perhaps the most recognized animal species in China, organizers said “Pandas combine China’s traditional culture and its modern appearance together with winter sports elements in a fascinating image that shows our great expectations for the Games and shows that we welcome the world.” said Beijing Mayor Chen Jining, who also serves as an executive president on the organizing committee.
“I have already seen the mascot and from what I’ve seen it’s a wonderful choice,” IOC President Thomas Bach said before introducing the character. “The mascot really takes in the best elements and characteristics of China and the Chinese people. It will be a great ambassador (大使) for the country and the 24th Winter Olympics.”
The ring of light surrounding the mascot’s face is suggestive office and snow tracks, as well as the flowing “ribbons” of the National Speed Skating Oval. The oval is one of two new competition sites in downtown Beijing expected to become a landmark of the Games, according to its chief designer Cao Xue.
The introduction of the mascots marks the key point of a journey that began in August 2018, when Beijing organizers started a global design competition for the mascots. A total of 5,816 designs were received from 35 countries, and were reviewed by Chinese and international experts in a comprehensive evaluation and selection process.
The new mascot will serve as spirited symbol of the Games that will take place in the three zones of downtown Beijing, the suburban district of Yanging and co-host city Zhangjiakou in surrounding Hebei province.
