Want to be a hero Better take a trip to the Great Wall. As the saying goes: you are not a hero until you have climbed the Great Wall.
And recent research shows the Great Wall is even greater than people thought. It is known for its size and length, traditionally described as “a long wall of 10,000 li(5,000 km)”. But China’s State Administration of cultural heritage made a report saying the wall actually is 21,196.18km long.
Although you’re not a “hero” yet, you’ll have seen the Great Wall on postcards and TV documentaries. The National Geographic said that this great work “is one of the world’s great feats(壮举) of engineering and an enduring monument(不朽的丰碑) to the strength of an ancient civilization”.
Building the Great Wall in ancient times required years of hard work. Legend has it that a woman named Meng Jiangnu of the Qin Dynasty went a long way to the Great Wall in search of her husband, who was one of the workers called up to build the wall. She finally found him dead because of hard work. She started to cry, and suddenly a section of the Great Wall fell down.
And there’s another popular legend about the Great Wall—it is said to be the “only” man-made structure that can be seen from space. But, the truth is that while astronauts can spot the Great Wall, they can also see other things like the Giza pyramids in Egypt and even airport runways.
26．The research shows the Great Wall is greater than people thought because ________.
A．it is a long wall of 10,000li
B．it is well-known for its long history
C．it is much longer than people knew
D．it is much older than people first thought
27．What does the writer want to explain by telling the legend of Meng Jiangnu
A．Why a section of the Great Wall fell down.
B．The Great Wall was built thanks to many people’s hard work.
C．Meng Jiangnu was a great woman in Chinese history.
D．The Great Wall was built in the Qin Dynasty.
28．What does the underlined word “civilization” mean in Chinese
A．启发 B．城市 C．市民 D．文明
29．What can we learn from the last paragraph
A．There are legends about the Great Wall.
B．It’s said that the Great Wall can be seen from space.
C．The Great Wall is the only man-made structure in the world.
D．The Great Wall is great because astronaut can see it from space.
30．What’s the best title for the passage
A．History of the Great Wall
B．The Great Wall’s role in China
C．The Great Wall is growing greater
D．Legends of the Great Wall are not all true
C
China has just opened its FAST radio telescope to international scientists. It means scientists across the world can apply for using the telescope to do astronomical observations.
FAST is short for Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Telescope. Its construction was completed in September 2016 and it officially began operating in January 2020. Measuring 500 meters in diameter, FAST is the largest radio telescope in the world, surpassing the 305-meter telescope of the U.S. Arecibo Observatory. FAST is also believed to be the world's most sensitive single-dish radio telescope, and is 10 times more sensitive than the 100-meter Radio Telescope Effelsberg in Germany.
The major scientific task of the telescope is the observation of pulsars （脉冲星）.The study of pulsars can help to confirm the existence of gravitational radiation（引力辐射）and black holes, and help solve many other major questions in physics. Another major scientific goal of FAST is to search for life outside the Earth.
The telescope is located in a naturally deep and round karst depression （喀斯特洼）in southwest China's Guizhou Province. The first advantage of the selected site is the altitude. The average altitude of Guizhou is about 1,100 meters. Generally, the higher the altitude, the more it can observe. Secondly, the radio telescope needs to have a "big pan" to receive better signal. The huge natural depression could reduce the difficulty of construction. Moreover, the selected site in Guizhou is far away from cities, and has a small population density, which reduces the interference caused by wireless devices such as TVs, mobile phones and radios from human activities.
So far, FAST has identified over 300 pulsars. Experts predict that the number could reach 1,000 in five years and that the telescope could locate and identify the first pulsar outside the galaxy.
31. Who can use FAST
A. Chinese scientists. B. Scientists from all countries.
C. Soldiers and policemen. D. All Chinese citizens.
32. When did FAST start working
A. In 2015. B. In 2016. C. In 2020. D. In 2021.
33.Which of the following is NOT TRUE about FAST's task
A. To confirm the existence of black holes.
B. To look for life outside the Earth.
C. To observe pulsars in the universe.
D. To surpass the telescope in other countries.
34 What do we know from the 4th paragraph
A. The major consideration of the location of FAST.
B. Guizhou Province has the highest altitude in China.
C. People in Guizhou use TVs and mobile phones less.
D. FAST is built in a pan-shape place to keep people out.
35. What do scientists think FAST will be able to do in the future
A. Identify more than 300 pulsars in five years.
B. Discover the first pulsar outside the galaxy.
C. Locate wireless devices around the world.
D. Collect all kinds of sounds in the space.
D
Three men traveling on a train began a conversation about the world's greatest wonders.
“ In my opinion,” the first man said, “ the Egyptian pyramids are the world’s greatest wonder. Although they were built thousands of years ago, they are still standing. And remember: the people who built them had only simple tools. They didn’t have the kind of machinery that builders and engineers have today.
“ I agree that the Egyptian pyramids are wonderful,” the second man said, “ But I don’t think they’re the greatest wonder. I believe computers are more wonderful than the pyramids. They have taken people to the moon and brought them back safely. They carry out mathematical calculations in seconds that would take a person a hundred years to do.”
He turned to the third man and asked, “ What do you think is the greatest wonder in the world ”
The third man thought for a long time, then he said, “ Well, I agree that the pyramids are wonderful, and I agree that computers are wonderful, too. However, in my opinion, the most wonderful thing in the world is the thermos(保温瓶).”
And he took a thermos out of his bag and held it up.
The other two men were very surprised. “ A thermos ” they exclaimed(大声说), “ But that’s a simple thing.”
“ Oh, no, it’s not,” the third man said, “ in the winter you put in a hot drink and it stays hot, in the summer you put in a cold drink and it stays cold. How does the thermos know whether it is winter or summer ”
36．The travelers passed the time on the train by talking about _______.

Want to be a hero Better take a trip to the Great Wall. As the saying goes: you are not a hero until you have climbed the Great Wall.
And recent research shows the Great Wall is even greater than people thought. It is known for its size and length, traditionally described as “a long wall of 10,000 li(5,000 km)”. But China’s State Administration of cultural heritage made a report saying the wall actually is 21,196.18km long.
Although you’re not a “hero” yet, you’ll have seen the Great Wall on postcards and TV documentaries. The National Geographic said that this great work “is one of the world’s great feats(壮举) of engineering and an enduring monument(不朽的丰碑) to the strength of an ancient civilization”.
Building the Great Wall in ancient times required years of hard work. Legend has it that a woman named Meng Jiangnu of the Qin Dynasty went a long way to the Great Wall in search of her husband, who was one of the workers called up to build the wall. She finally found him dead because of hard work. She started to cry, and suddenly a section of the Great Wall fell down.
And there’s another popular legend about the Great Wall—it is said to be the “only” man-made structure that can be seen from space. But, the truth is that while astronauts can spot the Great Wall, they can also see other things like the Giza pyramids in Egypt and even airport runways.
26．The research shows the Great Wall is greater than people thought because ________.
A．it is a long wall of 10,000li
B．it is well-known for its long history
C．it is much longer than people knew
D．it is much older than people first thought
27．What does the writer want to explain by telling the legend of Meng Jiangnu
A．Why a section of the Great Wall fell down.
B．The Great Wall was built thanks to many people’s hard work.
C．Meng Jiangnu was a great woman in Chinese history.
D．The Great Wall was built in the Qin Dynasty.
28．What does the underlined word “civilization” mean in Chinese
A．启发 B．城市 C．市民 D．文明
29．What can we learn from the last paragraph
A．There are legends about the Great Wall.
B．It’s said that the Great Wall can be seen from space.
C．The Great Wall is the only man-made structure in the world.
D．The Great Wall is great because astronaut can see it from space.
30．What’s the best title for the passage
A．History of the Great Wall
B．The Great Wall’s role in China
C．The Great Wall is growing greater
D．Legends of the Great Wall are not all true
【答案】CBDBA
【解析】文章以“不到长城非好汉”的诗句，引出我国著名名胜古迹——长城。介绍了长城的伟岸以及对人类文明的非凡意义，并用孟姜女哭长城的典故讲述了其来之不易。而且，长城并不是宇航员在太空能看到的唯一的地球建筑。
26．细节理解题。根据第二段内容可知通常人们描述是“万里长城”，但是调查显示它实际长是21,196.18公里，比人们认为的长得多，所以说长城比人们认为的还要壮观；故选C。
27．推理判断题。根据“Building the Great Wall in ancient times required years of hard work.在古代建长城需要很多年的艰苦工作”，孟姜女的丈夫因为建长城累死了，所以孟姜女哭倒了长城；从这个故事可以看出长城的建设多亏了许多人的努力工作。故选B。
28．词义猜测题。根据“is one of the world’s great feats of engineering and an enduring monument是世界上最伟大的工程壮举之一和不朽的纪念碑”，结合后文通过介绍孟姜女哭长城的故事，来表达在古代建设长城的不易，可猜测是古老“文明”的力量。故选D。
29．细节理解题。根据“it is said to be the ‘only’ man-made structure that can be seen from space. ”可知，据说长城能在太空被看到。故选B。
30．最佳标题题。根据文章内容可知，主要介绍有关长城的一些事情，所以“长城的历史”最符合文章内容。故选A。
C
China has just opened its FAST radio telescope to international scientists. It means scientists across the world can apply for using the telescope to do astronomical observations.
FAST is short for Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Telescope. Its construction was completed in September 2016 and it officially began operating in January 2020. Measuring 500 meters in diameter, FAST is the largest radio telescope in the world, surpassing the 305-meter telescope of the U.S. Arecibo Observatory. FAST is also believed to be the world's most sensitive single-dish radio telescope, and is 10 times more sensitive than the 100-meter Radio Telescope Effelsberg in Germany.
The major scientific task of the telescope is the observation of pulsars （脉冲星）.The study of pulsars can help to confirm the existence of gravitational radiation（引力辐射）and black holes, and help solve many other major questions in physics. Another major scientific goal of FAST is to search for life outside the Earth.
The telescope is located in a naturally deep and round karst depression （喀斯特洼）in southwest China's Guizhou Province. The first advantage of the selected site is the altitude. The average altitude of Guizhou is about 1,100 meters. Generally, the higher the altitude, the more it can observe. Secondly, the radio telescope needs to have a "big pan" to receive better signal. The huge natural depression could reduce the difficulty of construction. Moreover, the selected site in Guizhou is far away from cities, and has a small population density, which reduces the interference caused by wireless devices such as TVs, mobile phones and radios from human activities.
So far, FAST has identified over 300 pulsars. Experts predict that the number could reach 1,000 in five years and that the telescope could locate and identify the first pulsar outside the galaxy.
31. Who can use FAST
A. Chinese scientists. B. Scientists from all countries.
C. Soldiers and policemen. D. All Chinese citizens.
32. When did FAST start working
A. In 2015. B. In 2016. C. In 2020. D. In 2021.
33.Which of the following is NOT TRUE about FAST's task
A. To confirm the existence of black holes.
B. To look for life outside the Earth.
C. To observe pulsars in the universe.
D. To surpass the telescope in other countries.
34 What do we know from the 4th paragraph
A. The major consideration of the location of FAST.
B. Guizhou Province has the highest altitude in China.
C. People in Guizhou use TVs and mobile phones less.
D. FAST is built in a pan-shape place to keep people out.
35. What do scientists think FAST will be able to do in the future
A. Identify more than 300 pulsars in five years.
B. Discover the first pulsar outside the galaxy.
C. Locate wireless devices around the world.
D. Collect all kinds of sounds in the space.
【答案】BCDAB

Three men traveling on a train began a conversation about the world's greatest wonders.
“ In my opinion,” the first man said, “ the Egyptian pyramids are the world’s greatest wonder. Although they were built thousands of years ago, they are still standing. And remember: the people who built them had only simple tools. They didn’t have the kind of machinery that builders and engineers have today.
“ I agree that the Egyptian pyramids are wonderful,” the second man said, “ But I don’t think they’re the greatest wonder. I believe computers are more wonderful than the pyramids. They have taken people to the moon and brought them back safely. They carry out mathematical calculations in seconds that would take a person a hundred years to do.”
He turned to the third man and asked, “ What do you think is the greatest wonder in the world ”
The third man thought for a long time, then he said, “ Well, I agree that the pyramids are wonderful, and I agree that computers are wonderful, too. However, in my opinion, the most wonderful thing in the world is the thermos(保温瓶).”
And he took a thermos out of his bag and held it up.
The other two men were very surprised. “ A thermos ” they exclaimed(大声说), “ But that’s a simple thing.”
“ Oh, no, it’s not,” the third man said, “ in the winter you put in a hot drink and it stays hot, in the summer you put in a cold drink and it stays cold. How does the thermos know whether it is winter or summer ”
36．The travelers passed the time on the train by talking about _______.
A．the journey B．the train C．themselves D．wonderful things
37．The three men could not agree on what the world’s greatest wonder was because _______.
A．they could not think of anything very wonderful

C．he did not think the pyramids were wonderful
D．he did not know anything about computers
【答案】DBCCB
【解析】
36．文章第一段Three men traveling on a train began a conversation about the world's greatest wonders. wonder奇迹（n.）相当于 wonderful things，故选D。
37．第二段中第一个男人认为是金字塔，第三段中第二个男人认为是电脑，第五段第三个男人认为是保温瓶，所以题中所问三个人不能在最伟大的奇迹上意见统一的原因是他们有不同的主意，故选B。
38．第二段第三行Although they were built thousands of years ago, they are still standing. And remember: the people who built them had only simple tools.故选C。
39．文章最后两行How does the thermos know whether it is winter or summer 保温杯冬天保暖，夏天保持低温。第三个人问“保温杯怎么知道是冬天还是夏天呢？”这是他觉得保温杯神奇的原因。故选C
40．第三个男人以为保温杯能够自己根据季节来调节温度，而不知道真正的原因，所以说他不是很聪明。故选B。
