（2020 山东临沂月考）Cairo, the cradle of civilisation（文明的摇篮）, is the melting pot of ancient and modern Egyptian civilisations. It is the largest city in the Middle East and lies at the centre of all routes leading to and from the three continents： Asia, Africa and Europe. It is the city where past and present meet. On its south side lies the Ancient Egyptian city of Memphis, and the site of the Pyramids, the only surviving wonder of the Seven Wonders of the World. Indeed, a journey through Cairo is a journey through time. In spite of a thousand years of history, Cairo is young by Egyptian standards, because modem Cairo appears only with the Arab conquest （征服）of Egypt.
The most famous of Cairo’s sights is the string of 60 pyramids that stretches along the western border of the desert. Contrary to（和……相反）the common belief, only the Great Pyramid of Khufu, not all three Great Pyramids, is on the list of Wonders. The monument was built by the Egyptian Pharaoh Khufu of the Fourth Dynasty around the year 2560 BC to serve as a tomb when he died. When it was built, the Great Pyramid was 146.5 metres high. Over the years, it has lost 10 metres off its top. It was the tallest building on earth for more than 43 centuries. Throughout their history, the pyramids have inspired human imagination. When Napoleon invaded Egypt in 1798, his pride was expressed through his famous words: “Soldiers! From the top of these pyramids, 40 centuries are looking at us.”
Cairo has been the most important arts centre in the Islamic world for a thousand years. Cairo’s long history and rich heritage are displayed in its many museums. The famous sights in this area are the Entomological Society Museum, with an excellent collection of Egyptian insects and birds. Also in the area is the museum housing the mysterious Sun Boat, only discovered in 1954 near the south side of the pyramid. The boat is believed to have been used to carry the body of Khufu in his last journey on earth before being buried inside the pyramid.
This is Cairo—radiant with a long and glorious past, showing people the achievements of a wonderful present.
This is Cairo—a cradle of civilisation, a source of culture, and a meeting-place of the Asian, African, and European Worlds.
This is Cairo—an international centre for social economics, and political activity, which is making the noblest efforts, aimed at peace among all nations and the benefits of all mankind.

（2020 山东日照高三二模）What will you get if you ask middle schoolers to show you their city through a camera There may be images of flowers and friends, street scenes and sneakers, and trees and trains. It can also include colourful images featuring their favourite people, places and things. Such photographs make up an exhibition that was the end result of a special citywide photography lesson called “Everyday DC”.
“DC is a place where people can all come together and be free and be with everyone that they love, ” said Lauryn Tharpe, one of the four student curators（馆长）who worked with their art teacher at Brookland Middle School to put the exhibition together. “There’s more to DC than big buildings and important people.”
“Everyday DC” was inspired by a popular Instagram Feed called Everyday Africa, which was started by two professional photographers who noticed the personal photos of Africa, from their perspective（视角）, showing a different story other than their professional work. The goal of the online photo “exhibition” was to show viewers what it’s like to live in Africa, as opposed to what people outside of Africa see in the news.
In Washington DC, students took photos to reflect their lives there. Twelve middle schools each submitted about student photographs, from beautiful portraits to action shots and images of the students’ favourite food. Tharpe and another three students were selected to be curators by their art teacher, Maame Bawuah, who coordinated （协调）the project for DC Public Schools.
“I have a lot of amazing students, although the four of them are quite exceptional,” said Bawuah, who chose the students to be curators because of their interest in both photography and museum management.
A curator is someone who collects, organises, cares for and displays anything in a collection. To get ready for the exhibition, the curators had to take care of many tasks, including taking their own photographs, helping their teacher gather and evaluate the submitted images and sorting the photos according to different themes.
4. What do we know about the “Everyday DC” exhibition
A. It promoted the students’ interest in museum management.
B. It reflected the diverse life from the students’ perspective.
C. It was established by Lauryn Tharpe and Maame Bawuah.
D. It exhibited photos featuring influential things and figures.
5. Why does the author mention Everyday Africa
A. To introduce how Everyday DC came about.
B. To highlight Everyday Africa’s popularity.
C. To compare Everyday Africa with Everyday DC.
D. To show the widespread influence of Instagram.
6. What are the four curators required to do for the project

C. Find fault with the submitted photos.
D. Group the photographs by theme.

（2020 天津南开高三下检测）It’s OK to say you’ve never heard of grime—unless you’re from the U.K. That’s because this music was invented in the U.K. in the early 2000s.
To someone who’s not familiar with underground music culture, it’s easy to get confused between hip-hop and grime since they are both noisy. And many people didn’t bother to tell them apart, until grime stars like Stormzy and J Hus led MOBO Awards— “Music of Black Origin” —nominations（提名）in the U. K.
Just like U. K. electronic music and hip-hop，from which grime drew influence，it mostly reflects the thoughts of young people. But different from hip-hop, grime singers sing in dialects with strong accents，giving a special flavour to their songs.
Lady Leshurr, known as the “Queen of Grime”，said that she once tried to hide her accent, as she didn’t want people to judge her. But one day, she realised that she didn’t need to change herself just to please others. And there’s no doubt that this is the most basic and important quality of grime music: be yourself.
Also different from the hip-hop culture, which usually focuses on being rich, grime singers pay more attention to social phenomena like the European refugee problem and the gap between the rich and poor.
Although still quite young, grime seems to be getting favoured by more and more people. In 2016, the English grime artist Skepta won the Mercury Prize with his album Konnichiwa, beating big names like David Bowie and Radiohead. However, no matter whether grime is one day accepted by the mainstream music world or not, one thing is for sure: in grime，singers always stay true to themselves.
8. What do hip-hop and grime music have in common
A. They are originated in the U. K.
B. They make a lot of loud noise.
C. They challenge traditional culture.
D. They are full of creative ideas.
9. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to
A. Electronic music.
B. Hip-hop.
C. Grime music.
D. Black music.
10. What can be learned about grime singers
A. They care too much about themselves.
B. They refuse to be judged by others.
C. They tend to take social responsibility.
D. They show strong independence qualities.
11. What does Skepta's success suggest
A. Grime is gradually getting recognised.
B. Singers should try to be themselves.
C. Grime has become mainstream music.
D. It is easy to win the Mercury Prize.

（2019 山西五市高三上期末联考）Rock art is the name given to pictures drawn on rock by ancient peoples. In the American Southwest, rock art can be seen on the walls of caves and mountains. Many of these places are in the Four Comers area, where the states of Arizona, Colorado, Utah, and New Mexico meet. More than 7, 000 rock art places have been found just in Utah, where the area’s dry climate（气候） has helped keep the art.
There are three forms of rock art. The first is petroglyphs, which are pictures carved（雕刻） into the surface of rock. A sharp（尖利的）stone may have been used as a carving tool. A heavy stone may have been used to hit the sharp stone into the surface. The second form of rock art is pictographs, which are pictures painted on the rock. The paint was made from plants and trees. The artists painted with fingers, brashes made from hair, or bird bones. The third kind of rock art is geoglyphs, which are designs made in the ground by taking away stones.
Some rock art shows faces, hands, animals, and trees. Other pictures are symbols such as lines, circles, and squares. Some scientists think these symbols marked the location of water or good hunting grounds. Some think the symbols were put there during special celebrations. Others think the symbols showed the movement of planets and stars. Still others believe that they were just doodles.
Some rock art may be a form of writing. Large scenes are shown on mountains. Some scenes seem to tell a story. A hunting scene may include animals and people with hunting tools. A scene with many people holding hands could mean friendship. Rock art in caves may have been a way to decorate the artist’s home.
Some rock art in the Southwest is about 200 years old. Other rock art may be 10, 000 years old. Scientists think an ancient people called the Anasazi created the older works. They were farmers and lived in caves.
12. The writer mainly wants ________.
A. to introduce an ancient art form
B. to describe pictures drawn on rock
C. to tell the history of a certain area
D. to solve the mystery of old symbols
13. According to the passage, what are “doodles” probably like
A. They are carelessly written or drawn.
B. They show different symbols.
C. They are carefully chosen or designed.
D. They have special meanings.
14. What can we learn about rock art
A. The artists were usually farmers and lived in caves.
B. It requires special paint made from plants and trees.
C. Most of it describes the daily life of ancient peoples.
D. Utah has the largest collection of it in the Southwest.
15. What can we infer（推断）from the passage
A. Petroglyphs are the easiest to be washed away by rain.
B. Artists of modem times can copy rock art rather easily.
C. The works created by the Anasazi must be pictographs.
D. Places like rainforests are not ideal for keeping rock art.

Dear Alex,
I’m glad to receive your email telling me that you are to participate in the Chinese Poetry Recital. I, m writing to recommend one.
The poem I strongly recommend is Dawn of Spring written by Meng Haoran, a notable poet of Tang Dynasty. Short as it is, it features the breathtaking scenery after raining on a spring morning. Moreover, it sounds rhyming, making it accessible to Chinese language learners. It makes sense to watch some videos to get deep insights into the Tang Poetry. With abundant preparations and commitment, your performance will be a great success.

第二节 One possible version：
Alexis helped Sue into the car, and then applied a piece of cloth to Sue’s injured leg. Suddenly she heard her father shout loudly. He had been knocked to the ground. Alexis took hold of a hammer from the car and ran to where her father lay on his back. She beat the deer’s head and neck, but the blows didn’t scare it away. “I am losing faith,” she said. “A couple more strikes, Alexis,” said her father. “You can do it.” Turning the hammer around, Alexis closed her eyes and beat the deer’s neck with all her strength. When she opened her eyes, the deer was running away. She helped her father get into the car. Alexis got in the driver’s seat and sped towards the nearest hospital.
After Sue was treated, she tearfully thanked her rescuers. “You expect a teenager girl to make a phone call for help,” she said, “not to beat up a deer.” Alexis’s father was also proud of his daughter, for she was so brave.
