Born in Beijing in 1981, Qi Haonan graduated from the capital’s North China University of Technology in 2004, majoring in mechanical automation. Qi said that when he heard there was a job opening at the Palace Museum, he decided to apply, adding that visiting the museum’s gallery of clocks built up his decision. “These timepieces opened my mind to clocks. They are mechanical wonders combining technology and art,” he said.
In 2005, he joined the cultural relics restoration department at the Palace Museum, becoming a student of Wang, the museum’s third generation watchmaker. “In the beginning, everything in the palace was fresh to me. It made me excited to even think about repairing old-fashioned clocks,” Qi said. But reality soon dampened his passion. There is ad rule for apprentices: For the first year, you can look, but don’t touch.
From 8 am to 5 pm every day for that first year, Qi checked and took apart watches and clocks collected from friends to practice finding problems. It took him a year of this repetitive routine before he could finally get his hands on the small French clock in the museum. “It is ad job that requires extreme patience, because clock restoration is a very long and careful process,” he said, adding that it is clear evidence of the old saying “haste makes waste” and, in this case, haste can do a great deal of damage.
Although the old clock repairing techniques at the Palace Museum were listed as a national intangible cultural heritage in 2014, it was a little-known skill and in short supply of career practitioners before 2016, when three-part TV documentary, Masters in the Forbidden City, made the profession known to the nation. Qi didn’t expect that the documentary would make that profession cause a stir. As a result, in 2017, Qi got two apprentices and Wang got three.
4. What eventually made Qi decide to apply for the job
A. The clock’s unique design.
B. His desire to broaden his eyes.
C. The combination between technology and art.
D. His paying a visit to the clocks’ gallery in the museum.
5. Which can best replace the underlined word “dampened” in paragraph 2
A. changed B. improved C. weakened D. controlled
6. What can we learn from paragraph 3
A. Repairing clocks is a demanding job. B. Qi had no access to any clock in 2005.
C. Qi often repaired clocks with his friends. D. Damages never happen during repairing.
7. How did Qi feel about the documentary
A. Curios B. Appreciative C. Disapproving D. Uncaring.
C
The Masai(马赛人) are continually trying to keep their own ways in an increasingly modern world. They live along the border of Kenya and Tanzania in East Africa, moving their homes from time to time to follow their cattle, the source of their livelihood. They rely on their cattle in many parts of their life. They like drinking the cows’ milk.
They don’t kill their cattle for food. But if a cow is killed, the parts of its body are used to make containers, shoes, clothin, ropes, bed coverings and so on. Not all of the men have cows. The more cattle a man owns, the richer he is considered to be. A man who owns 50 or fewer cattle is considered poor. Rich men have a thousand or more. The cattle, though owned by the man, are considered to belong to the man’s entire family. The family names the cattle and can recognize each animal’s special voice.
The Masai men have become known as warriors(勇士), protecting their cattle against other wild animals. They wear their red long hair. Most women often take care of their children, cook food, clean clothes and make clothing at home. They also make necklaces dresses and headdresses. A few women can also become authorities once they are powerful enough. They speak a language called Maa.
The houses of Masai made from sticks and grass, which are held together with a mixture of mud, are not very firm or safe. These plain houses with some basic supplies are built in a circle and make up a Masai village. They are not meant to last long since the migration(迁徙) of the cow population means that the Masai move as well. In the meantime, in order to prevent animals from entering, they also form a wall of branches. The whole setup is to protect the cattle, which sleep at night in the middle of the village. They seem to live a natural and self-sufficient life but lack modern civilisation.
8. What do we know about the Masai
A. They don’t move in their lives.
B. They each have their own cows.
C. They don’t kill their cattle at all.
D. They are heavily dependent on cattle.
9. What do most of the Masai women work as
A. Designers. B. Authorities.
C. Housewives. D. Warriors.
10. Which word best describes Masai houses
A. Modern. B. Lasting C. Simple. D. Safe.
11. What can be the best title for the text
A. Africans: Living a Moving life
B. Africans: Brave People in the World
C. The Masai: Rich People in East Africa
D. The Masai: Maintaining a Traditional Lifestyle
D
Researchers concerned with space exploration say they have discovered new evidence that Mars once had a large northern ocean. The discovery adds to existing evidence that the ancient Mars had the right conditions to possibly support some form of life.
Today, any water on Mars is believed to be in the form of ice because of the planet’s extremely cold desert temperatures. But there is a rich amount of evidence suggesting that rivers, lakes and even oceans once existed on Mars. A study by the American space agency NASA suggested that billions of years ago, Mars likely had an ocean that covered nearly half of Mars’ northern hemisphere(半球). Another NASA-supported study estimated that about several billion years ago, the climate in much of the planet’s northern hemisphere was very similar to today’s Earth. The study noted that at that time, Mars likely had a much thicker atmosphere than today and had an active northern ocean.
Two American researchers recently released a set of maps to provide new environmental evidence of a large ancient ocean on Mars’ low-lying northern hemisphere. The team collected data from satellite images and photos of Mars. They then combined them to create maps of the planet’s northern hemisphere. Using the maps, the researchers were able to piece together evidence of shorelines that sat at the edge of a huge body of water about 3.5 billion years ago.
The researchers published their findings in the Journal of Geophysical Research：Planets. Benjamin Cardenas, a professor at The Penn State University, was a co-writer of the study. He said the study’s findings showed the possible ocean in that area of Mars was changeable and interesting. “It was dynamic(动态的). The sea level rose significantly,” he said. “Rocks were being deposited(沉积) along its basins at a fast rate. There was a lot of change happening here.” Besides, Cardenas suggested the new study also provided useful information on Mars’ ancient climate and developmental history. “Based on these findings, we know there had to have been a period when it was warm enough and the atmosphere was thick enough to support this much liquid water at one time,” he said.
12. How does the author develop paragraph 2
A. By giving examples.
B By listing data.
C. By making assumptions.
D. By drawing comparisons.
13. What does paragraph 3 mainly tell us about the researchers
A. Where they created maps.
B. When they landed on Mars.
C. Why they studied satellites.
D. How they found the evidence.
14. What can we learn about Mars according to the new study
A. It must have been always warm.
B. It might have had an active ocean.
C. The climate and sea level were unchangeable.
D. The atmosphere was too thin to support water.
15. Where is the text most probably taken from
A. A photography book.
B. An entertainment magazine.
C. A scientific journal.
D. An agricultural newspaper.

Finally, the time came and I received my media specialist degree. But my biggest difficulty was yet to come. I wanted to find a job as a media specialist in a nearby elementary school, and those positions were hard to get.
The new school year started, and I was teaching fourth grade again. As the months passed from August to December without any job opportunities, my optimism and faith began to fade. To stay positive, I listened repeatedly to several inspiring songs in the car on my commute to my son’s school and my job. Every morning, I thanked someone in my heart of hearts for my new job as a media specialist as if I already had it, my family. and the other blessings in my life.
In the beginning of January that school year, I saw a job posted online for a media specialist position, but the school was on the opposite side of town from where my son was attending school. My mind was filled with questions. How would I get my son to school if my job was on the other side of town and I had to go to work an hour earlier than his school started Should I still apply I hoped for guidance and good luck. I knew I had to have faith, so I applied for the job, but I didn’t hear anything for weeks.
I played my inspiring music so much that my son, who knew the words, would sing along. I continued to thank someone in my heart of hearts for my good luck and tried to stay positive. Yet, by the end of January, I started to doubt myself. As I drove my son to school, he seemed to know how I felt, but said nothing. Then one evening, I received a sign appearing on my mirror, which looked like a Chinese symbol.

Born in Beijing in 1981, Qi Haonan graduated from the capital’s North China University of Technology in 2004, majoring in mechanical automation. Qi said that when he heard there was a job opening at the Palace Museum, he decided to apply, adding that visiting the museum’s gallery of clocks built up his decision. “These timepieces opened my mind to clocks. They are mechanical wonders combining technology and art,” he said.
In 2005, he joined the cultural relics restoration department at the Palace Museum, becoming a student of Wang, the museum’s third generation watchmaker. “In the beginning, everything in the palace was fresh to me. It made me excited to even think about repairing old-fashioned clocks,” Qi said. But reality soon dampened his passion. There is ad rule for apprentices: For the first year, you can look, but don’t touch.
From 8 am to 5 pm every day for that first year, Qi checked and took apart watches and clocks collected from friends to practice finding problems. It took him a year of this repetitive routine before he could finally get his hands on the small French clock in the museum. “It is ad job that requires extreme patience, because clock restoration is a very long and careful process,” he said, adding that it is clear evidence of the old saying “haste makes waste” and, in this case, haste can do a great deal of damage.
Although the old clock repairing techniques at the Palace Museum were listed as a national intangible cultural heritage in 2014, it was a little-known skill and in short supply of career practitioners before 2016, when three-part TV documentary, Masters in the Forbidden City, made the profession known to the nation. Qi didn’t expect that the documentary would make that profession cause a stir. As a result, in 2017, Qi got two apprentices and Wang got three.
4. What eventually made Qi decide to apply for the job
A. The clock’s unique design.
B. His desire to broaden his eyes.
C. The combination between technology and art.
D. His paying a visit to the clocks’ gallery in the museum.
5. Which can best replace the underlined word “dampened” in paragraph 2
A. changed B. improved C. weakened D. controlled
6. What can we learn from paragraph 3
A. Repairing clocks is a demanding job. B. Qi had no access to any clock in 2005.
C. Qi often repaired clocks with his friends. D. Damages never happen during repairing.
7. How did Qi feel about the documentary
A. Curios B. Appreciative C. Disapproving D. Uncaring.
【答案】4. D 5. C 6. A 7. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了故宫文物修复师齐浩男从事文物修复工作的个人经历以及感悟。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Qi said that when he heard there was a job opening at the Palace Museum, he decided to apply, adding that visiting the museum’s gallery of clocks built up his decision.(齐说，当他听说故宫博物院有一个工作机会时，他决定申请，并补充说，参观故宫的钟表画廊使他下定了决心)”可知，参观博物馆的钟表陈列室让齐浩男最终决定申请这份工作。故选D。
【5题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“There is ad rule for apprentices: For the first year, you can look, but don’t touch.”可知，对学徒有一条规定：第一年，你可以看，但不能摸，结合but表示转折，说明学徒第一年不能接触文物这削弱了他的热情，故划线词意思是“削弱”。故选C。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“From 8 am to 5 pm every day for that first year, Qi checked and took apart watches and clocks collected from friends to practice finding problems. It took him a year of this repetitive routine before he could finally get his hands on the small French clock in the museum.(第一年，每天早上8点到下午5点，他都会检查和拆开从朋友那里收集来的手表和钟表，练习发现问题。他花了一年的时间重复这样的程序，才最终得到了博物馆里的那个法国小时钟)”以及“It is ad job that requires extreme patience, because clock restoration is a very long and careful process(这是一项需要极大耐心的工作，因为修复时钟是一个非常漫长而谨慎的过程)”可知，修理钟表是一项要求很高的工作。故选A。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Although the old clock repairing techniques at the Palace Museum were listed as a national intangible cultural heritage in 2014, it was a little-known skill and in short supply of career practitioners before 2016, when three-part TV documentary, Masters in the Forbidden City, made the profession known to the nation. Qi didn’t expect that the documentary would make that profession cause a stir. As a result, in 2017, Qi got two apprentices and Wang got three.(尽管2014年，故宫博物院的古钟修理技术被列为国家级非物质文化遗产，但在2016年之前，这是一项鲜为人知的技能，职业从业者供不应求。2016年，三集电视纪录片《故宫大师》让这一职业为全国所知。他没有想到这部纪录片会让这个行业引起轰动。结果，2017年，齐有两个徒弟，王有三个徒弟)”可推知，这部纪录片让更多的人加入这个行业，推测小齐欣赏这部纪录片。故选B。
C
The Masai(马赛人) are continually trying to keep their own ways in an increasingly modern world. They live along the border of Kenya and Tanzania in East Africa, moving their homes from time to time to follow their cattle, the source of their livelihood. They rely on their cattle in many parts of their life. They like drinking the cows’ milk.
They don’t kill their cattle for food. But if a cow is killed, the parts of its body are used to make containers, shoes, clothin, ropes, bed coverings and so on. Not all of the men have cows. The more cattle a man owns, the richer he is considered to be. A man who owns 50 or fewer cattle is considered poor. Rich men have a thousand or more. The cattle, though owned by the man, are considered to belong to the man’s entire family. The family names the cattle and can recognize each animal’s special voice.
The Masai men have become known as warriors(勇士), protecting their cattle against other wild animals. They wear their red long hair. Most women often take care of their children, cook food, clean clothes and make clothing at home. They also make necklaces dresses and headdresses. A few women can also become authorities once they are powerful enough. They speak a language called Maa.
The houses of Masai made from sticks and grass, which are held together with a mixture of mud, are not very firm or safe. These plain houses with some basic supplies are built in a circle and make up a Masai village. They are not meant to last long since the migration(迁徙) of the cow population means that the Masai move as well. In the meantime, in order to prevent animals from entering, they also form a wall of branches. The whole setup is to protect the cattle, which sleep at night in the middle of the village. They seem to live a natural and self-sufficient life but lack modern civilisation.
8. What do we know about the Masai
A. They don’t move in their lives.
B. They each have their own cows.
C. They don’t kill their cattle at all.
D. They are heavily dependent on cattle.
9. What do most of the Masai women work as
A. Designers. B. Authorities.
C. Housewives. D. Warriors.
10. Which word best describes Masai houses
A. Modern. B. Lasting C. Simple. D. Safe.
11. What can be the best title for the text
A. Africans: Living a Moving life
B. Africans: Brave People in the World
C. The Masai: Rich People in East Africa
D. The Masai: Maintaining a Traditional Lifestyle
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. C 11. D
【解析】

推理判断题。根据第三段中“Most women often take care of their children, cook food, clean clothes and make clothing at home. (大多数妇女经常在家照顾她们的孩子，做饭，洗衣服和做衣服。)”可推知，大多数马赛妇女扮演着家庭主妇的角色，故选C。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“These plain houses with some basic supplies are built in a circle and make up a Masai village.(这些带有一些基本生活用品的平房围成一个圈，构成了一个马赛村。)”可知，马赛人的房屋很简陋，由此可推知，C项“Simple.(简朴的)”这个词最能描述马赛人的房子，故选C。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章主要介绍了东非马赛人传统的生活方式。D项“马赛人：保持传统生活方式”适合作文章的标题，故选D。
D
Researchers concerned with space exploration say they have discovered new evidence that Mars once had a large northern ocean. The discovery adds to existing evidence that the ancient Mars had the right conditions to possibly support some form of life.
Today, any water on Mars is believed to be in the form of ice because of the planet’s extremely cold desert temperatures. But there is a rich amount of evidence suggesting that rivers, lakes and even oceans once existed on Mars. A study by the American space agency NASA suggested that billions of years ago, Mars likely had an ocean that covered nearly half of Mars’ northern hemisphere(半球). Another NASA-supported study estimated that about several billion years ago, the climate in much of the planet’s northern hemisphere was very similar to today’s Earth. The study noted that at that time, Mars likely had a much thicker atmosphere than today and had an active northern ocean.
Two American researchers recently released a set of maps to provide new environmental evidence of a large ancient ocean on Mars’ low-lying northern hemisphere. The team collected data from satellite images and photos of Mars. They then combined them to create maps of the planet’s northern hemisphere. Using the maps, the researchers were able to piece together evidence of shorelines that sat at the edge of a huge body of water about 3.5 billion years ago.
The researchers published their findings in the Journal of Geophysical Research：Planets. Benjamin Cardenas, a professor at The Penn State University, was a co-writer of the study. He said the study’s findings showed the possible ocean in that area of Mars was changeable and interesting. “It was dynamic(动态的). The sea level rose significantly,” he said. “Rocks were being deposited(沉积) along its basins at a fast rate. There was a lot of change happening here.” Besides, Cardenas suggested the new study also provided useful information on Mars’ ancient climate and developmental history. “Based on these findings, we know there had to have been a period when it was warm enough and the atmosphere was thick enough to support this much liquid water at one time,” he said.
12. How does the author develop paragraph 2
A. By giving examples.
B. By listing data.
C. By making assumptions.
D By drawing comparisons.
13. What does paragraph 3 mainly tell us about the researchers
A. Where they created maps.
B. When they landed on Mars.
C. Why they studied satellites.
D. How they found the evidence.
14. What can we learn about Mars according to the new study
A. It must have been always warm.
B. It might have had an active ocean.
C. The climate and sea level were unchangeable.
D. The atmosphere was too thin to support water.
15. Where is the text most probably taken from
A. A photography book.
B. An entertainment magazine.
C. A scientific journal.
D. An agricultural newspaper.
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. B 15. C

Another NASA-supported study estimated that about several billion years ago, the climate in much of the planet’s northern hemisphere was very similar to today’s Earth. The study noted that at that time, Mars likely had a much thicker atmosphere than today and had an active northern ocean.(但是有大量的证据表明火星上曾经存在过河流、湖泊甚至海洋。美国国家航空航天局的一项研究表明，数十亿年前，火星上可能有一个覆盖了火星近一半北半球的海洋。另一项由美国宇航局支持的研究估计，大约几十亿年前，地球大部分北半球的气候与今天的地球非常相似。研究指出，在那个时候，火星的大气层可能比现在厚得多，并且有一个活跃的北部海洋。)”列举了 NAsA关于火星的两项研究可知，第二段是通过举例子的方式来发展的。故选A。

Using the maps, the researchers were able to piece together evidence of shorelines that sat at the edge of a huge body of water about 3.5 billion years ago.(两名美国研究人员最近发布了一组地图，为火星低洼北半球上一个巨大的古代海洋提供了新的环境证据。该小组从卫星图像和火星照片中收集数据。然后他们将这些北半球组合在一起，绘制出地球的地图。利用这些地图，研究人员能够拼凑出大约35亿年前位于一个巨大水体边缘的海岸线的证据。)”可知，该段主要介绍了两位美国研究人员如何寻找有关火星上存在远古海洋的证据。故选D。

How would I get my son to school if my job was on the other side of town and I had to go to work an hour earlier than his school started Should I still apply I hoped for guidance and good luck. I knew I had to have faith, so I applied for the job, but I didn’t hear anything for weeks.
