三、阅读单选

Last year, I took a trip to Dunhuang with some friends.
After we left our hotel, we stepped out into a sandstorm that morning. Luckily, many of our group were well-prepared with face masks and caps. I, on the other hand, was not as equipped(配备). I should have learned about the conditions there better.
This was the low-point of the trip, but reparation(补偿) was made that evening with a trip to an amazing cultural show called “Silk Road”. This was a more interesting take on the Silk Road’s history, using dance and song to show the vivid(生动的) cultural traditions and artistic legacies(遗产) of Dunhuang and the Silk Road. It was a fully entertaining(有趣的) evening.
The next day’s visit to the Mogao Caves was certainly the highlight of the trip. From the outside, they look perfectly common. But upon entering the dry, cool caves, it’s as though you’ve been taken to another world: it’s a great place of ancient artwork with 45, 000 square meters of murals(壁画) and statues, making it the world’s largest collection of Buddhist(佛教的) art. Many of the pink-coloured paints have turned black. Our guide said, “The painters spent much of their lives painting in the near-dark, guided only by rays of natural light and dull oil lamps, and as such, most went blind.”
Out of the darkness of the caves, we stepped into the blinding light of the Gobi, with a view of the Yueyaquan, nestled in the desert bowl, for an afternoon of sand-boarding and camel rides—Silk Road style.
36.What do we know about the writer before the trip
A.She did preparations carefully.
B.She didn’t really look forward to the trip.
C.She didn’t expect to experience a sandstorm.
D.She learned very well about Dunhuang.
37.What did the writer most probably think of the show
A.It was the low-point of the whole trip.
B.It failed to tell much about Dunhuang.
C.It forgot some cultural traditions of Dunhuang.
D.It introduced the Silk Road in an entertaining way.
38.What can we learn from the guide’s words
A.The Mogao Caves’ artwork is representative of Buddhist art.
B.Creating the Mogao Caves’ artwork was very challenging.
C.The ancient artwork at the Mogao Caves was famous.
D.The Mogao Caves’ artwork needed protection.
39.Which of the following is the right order
①We went sand-boarding and went on a camel ride.
②We left the hotel and stepped out into a sandstorm.
③We walked into the Gobi and visited the Yueyaquan.
④We took a close look at the Caves murals and statues.
⑤We watched an amazing cultural show called “Silk Road”.
A.②⑤④③① B.⑤②①④③ C.②⑤③①④ D.⑤②③④①
40.Which of the following websites is the article most likely from ________.
A.http://www. B.http://www.
C.http://www. D.http://www.

Taking a trip in the South Rim offers visitors the park’s full views, while the North Rim shows beautiful wild flowers.
If you love animals you’ll like the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania. The “Big Five” live here. They are the lion, African elephant, African leopard, black rhinocero(朝天犀牛) and African buffalo(水牛). The name“Big Five”came from the five animals that were the hardest to catch. Now they are what people most want to see in the wild. If you visit the park, you should never miss the migration(迁徙)of over 1. 5 million wildebeests(角马) every year. This is the most famous site of the park.
