一、阅读理解
What's a dust devil (尘卷风) sound like on Mars America's Perseverance, a vehicle used to explore Mars, recorded the loud noise when one passed directly overhead. It's about 10 seconds of sounds of not only the wind blowing up to 40 kph, but hundreds of dust grains hitting the vehicle. Scientists released the first-of-its-kind audio (音频) Tuesday. It sounds strikingly similar to dust devils on Earth, although quieter since Mars' thin atmosphere makes for more muted sounds and less forceful wind.
The dust devil came and went over Perseverance quickly last year, thus the short length of the audio, said the University of Toulouse's Naomi Murdoch. At the same time, the camera on the parked rover (探测器) shot images, while its weather-monitoring instrument collected data. "It was fully caught red-handed, which greatly shook me. Catching a dust devil in space really takes some luck, "said German Martinez of the Lunar and Planetary Institute in Houston. Photographed for decades on Mars but never heard until now, dust devils are common on the red planet. This one was in the average range at least 118 meters tall and 25 meters across, traveling at 5 meters per second.
Given that the rover's microphone is turned on for less than three minutes every few days, Murdoch said it was "definitely luck" that the dust devil appeared when it did. She said there was just a 1-in-200 chance of recording the dust-devil sound and that of the 84 minutes collected in its first year, there was "only one dust devil recording".
This same microphone on Perseverance provided the first sounds from Mars—namely the Martian wind—soon after the rover landed on Mars. It followed up with audio of the rover driving around and its companion helicopter flying nearby. These recordings allow scientists to study the Martian wind, sudden and violent movements of air, and now dust movement as never before, Murdoch said.
1、Which is closest in meaning to "muted" in paragraph 1
A.Weak. B.Sharp. C.Strange. D.Clear.
2、What does Martinez think of Perseverance's catching the dust devil
A.Predictable. B.Well-timed. C.Inspirational. D.Mind-blowing.
3、What does Murdoch say about the recorded dust devil
A.It lasted for 84 minutes. B.It went beyond the average range.
C.It was caught just by chance. D.It was the first to be found on Mars.
4、What can the recordings on Perseverance help scientists gain insight into
A.How the Martian wind is measured.
B.How dust is transported around Mars.
C.How air movements impact the rover.
D.How rovers work with helicopters in space.
Karen Rodricks, senior library services supervisor (主管) at the Washington County-based Lake Elmo Library in Minnesota, didn't think the package she found on a library service desk on Wednesday was going to be anything out of the ordinary. But Rodricks said that when she approached and saw that the parcel had no return address, she felt this was interesting and decided to gather the rest of her team before seeing what was inside. "I wasn't concerned about it or anything—and I opened it and inside was this really carefully I auto repair book," she said.
Rodricks said that when she opened the book, she found an envelope with a "cute, thoughtful" handwritten note from the unnamed sender. "In the mid-1970s," the note read, "I was living in Lake Elmo and was working on an old Mercedes-Benz in a shop where I worked. I took out this book for reference. A few months later I moved and apparently the book got packed up.47 years later, I found it in a trunk with other interesting things from the 1970s.It's overdue, but I thought you might want it back.My apologies to anyone in Lake Elmo who was working on an old Benz in the last 47 years." Rodricks looked back inside and found there was 200 in cash.
While the money was a very kind gesture, that was not what stood out most to Rodricks."The best thing about this whole experience was in the person's note and in his caring about returning it, "Rodricks explained. "Even though it is 47 years late, he's showing he really appreciated the library back in the 1970s and he still appreciates the library now...This is one of the nicest thank-you notes you can send somebody. "

People have different ways of dealing with waste paper, specifically used newspapers. Some put them in the recycling area, while others keep them as wrappers. While these are both good measures, a Japanese publishing company had a better idea for their end use.
The Mainichi Newspapers Co., Ltd.invented the "Green Newspaper", which allows people to grow plants with it. This unique newspaper was published on Greenery Day, which is an edition devoted to environmental news and made of green paper with seeds placed into it. What makes it even more sustainable is the ink（油墨）used to print words and photos, which is made from plants. The publisher advised readers to tear the used newspaper into small pieces and plant them in a container with soil. They should water them, like they would do for any plant. Within a few weeks, the seeds will grow into plants.
This brilliant concept was invented by Dentsu Inc., one of Japan's most distinguished advertising agencies, which works with the publishing company on the initiative. The publisher's core belief is environmental sustainability. As its mission statement says, "The Mainichi doesn't take action only through information, but also by solving global issues." With joint efforts, this initiative has reached the corners of Japan and sold around millions of copies daily. Other such initiatives producing plantable paper are also seen in India and the US.
Approximately 95 million trees are lost for producing newspapers every year. The Internet, the number of whose users represents 62.5 percent of the population worldwide, has impacted how people look at the news and the print readership has declined dramatically. Likewise, the reinvention and reimagination of this newspaper can bring about a revolution in the publishing industry as well as having an environmental impact.
12、What do we know about the "Green Newspaper"？
A.It uses water-resistant materials.
B.It's printed with plant-based ink.
C.It functions as nutrients for seeds.
D.It's published to celebrate Greenery Day.
13、What message does the publisher's mission statement convey？
A.It's easier said than done.
B.Everything comes to him who waits.
C.Many hands make light work.
D.Actions speak louder than words.
14、How does the author explain the initiative's influence？
A.By listing statistics.
B.By making a comparison.
C.By conducting surveys.
D.By analyzing results.
15、What does the text mainly talk about？
A.A living newspaper gives back to Earth.
B.The publishing industry sees a green milestone.
C.Used newspapers become home to plants.
D.Many companies support plantable newspapers.
Every year, millions of birds fly between Mexico’s Sierra Madre Oriental mountains and the Gulf of Mexico from August to November to escape cold temperatures, giving rise to an event known as the “River of Raptors”, which brings hundreds of foreign birdwatchers to the coastal area of Veracruz.
“Many of my customers have been at other famous bird migration sites but say they have never seen anything as grand as the ‘River of Raptors’ in Veracruz,” said Steven Koevoet, a birdwatching guide who has shown visitors places in Yucatan and Veracruz for over 25 years.
Yet the yearly event has not led to a large increase in ecotourism. Critics suggest the lack of increased ecotourism is mainly caused by Mexico’s failure to encourage tourism away from its beach resorts. Environmentalists believe high levels of violence and environmentally unfriendly practices are also problems for developing ecotourism in the states of Chiapas and Veracruz. Violence has stopped birdwatching for years in some places, where the activity was an important source of income for local communities.
But, environmental groups, universities and farmers in Veracruz are trying to change this. Angel Viveros, a rancher (大农场主), uses land owned by his family for activities including birdwatching, horse riding, skydiving and hiking. Supported by the non-profit group Pronatura Veracruz, which studies and counts the birds in the yearly migration, he is now receiving hundreds of visitors yearly. Local coffee producers organize coffee tastings and educational talks about the importance of birds in spreading seeds. A green, bird-friendly stamp for those producers could be the next step. One retiree who has been visiting Veracruz since 2002 had this to say, “Apart from feeling the physical relaxation, it is like something spiritual ... there are no words to describe what it feels like to see the river of birds.”
16、What is the “River of Raptors” known for
A. The rich diversity of birds. B. The size of birds’ migrating.
C. The number of birdwatchers. D. The long distance of migration.
17、Why is Steven Koevoet mentioned
A. To stress the popularity of the event.
B. To explain his intention to be a guide.
C. To show his devotion to local tourism.
D. To prove the impressiveness of the event.
18、What prevents the development of ecotourism in Mexico according to critics
A. The lack of government support.
B. High levels and frequency of violence.
C. Disagreement among local communities.
D. The adoption of not eco-friendly methods.
19、What can be inferred about ecotourism from the last paragraph
A. People hold different attitudes to it.
B. Joint efforts are made to develop it.
C. It is a major source of income for the locals.
D. It has an uncertain future in Veracruz.

20、答案：EGABD
解析：①空前提到汉服是中国最古老的传统服饰之一,空后提到直到汉朝,汉服才被接受并得到大力推广。由此可推知,空处内容应与汉服的发展变化有关。E项“它在几个朝代中被不断改进”说明了汉服在朝代更迭中的变化,符合语境。
②空前提到旗袍起源于清朝,主要发展为京派旗袍、海派旗袍和港派旗袍。空后提到京派旗袍更为传统和保守,而且颜色更加鲜艳夺目;海派旗袍的设计和颜色中使用了更多的西方元素;港派旗袍的袖子较短,装饰也更简单。由此可推知,空处内容应具有总括性,能统领空后内容,且涉及不同旗袍间的差别。G项“在装饰品、颜色和设计上都有许多不同之处”承上启下,符合语境。G项中的“decorations, colors and designs”与下文中的“brighter” “designs and colors" "have shorter sleeves... simpler way”相呼应。
③本段介绍的是唐装。空后提到因为唐朝在世界上因其强大而闻名,外国人称生活在国外的中国人为“唐人”,称他们的衣服为“唐装”。由此可知,空处应与唐装名字的由来有关。A项“这一名字来源于海外”与上下文衔接紧密,符合语境。
④空前提到传统的唐装上通常都有汉字,以表达好运或祝福。空后提到如今,唐装是春节等特殊场合穿的一种正式礼服。由此可知,空处内容应介绍的是传统唐装的特点,可能与汉字有关,也可能涉及其他方面。B项“最受欢迎的汉字包括福和寿”符合语境。B项中的“ones”指代上文中的“Chinese characters”。
⑤本段主要介绍了中山装。空前提到中山装的颜色多种多样,但通常是单色的,有黑色、白色、蓝色和灰色。由此可知,空处内容应是对中山装特点的进一步介绍。D项“穿戴者会根据不同的情况选择不同的颜色”说明了不同颜色的中山装适用的场合不同,符合语境。
21、答案：①-⑤GBFAC

However, normal embarrassing moments might become things that you can just shrug off and laugh at eventually.（尴尬可能很难克服。然而，正常的尴尬时刻可能会变成你最终可以耸耸肩嘲笑的事情。）”可知，本段主要讲述的是学会嘲笑尴尬，A项“学会嘲笑这种情况。”符合题意，故选择A项。⑤根据本段小标题“Get out there and try again.（走出去再试一次）”以及上文“The fear of embarrassment should not hold you back from getting out there to try again.（对尴尬的恐惧不应该阻止你再次尝试）”可知，本段主要讲述的是不要让对尴尬的恐惧阻止你再次尝试，勇于再次尝试，C项“不要太担心事情，准备好走出去，全力以赴。”符合题意，故选择C项。
22、答案：CAGED
解析：①空前提到大学生活是一个巨大的改变,空后问道你如何快速适应并过好大学生活,C项“对一些人而言,它会是一项巨大的挑战”承上启下。
②分析文章结构可知,空处应是本段的主题句。根据空后的"make sure you have knowledge of your area" "Have a look at the local facilities" "It's also very important to know where social areas...are located"可知,本段主要介绍的是应该熟悉周围的环境。A、B两项结构都适合作主题句,且都与了解环境有关。空后的"the local facilities" "social areas like cafes, cinemas"表明本段强调了解周围的环境,故A项“查看周围的环境”能概括本段大意。
③空前提到看看当地的设施,了解一些社交区域,故空处可能介绍这样做的原因,G项“你将需要这些服务来帮助你过上舒适的生活”符合语境。
④本段主要介绍了要保持心理健康。空前提到大学里应该有一个咨询建议处,空后提到如果你对考试、作业或类似的事情感到压力,咨询服务可以帮助你管理这种压力、充分利用时间。E项“当你一直感觉萎靡不振时你应该去一趟(咨询建议处)”承接上文内容,且与空后的内容衔接紧密。
⑤空前提到你可能经常出去娱乐,但这并不一定意味着你遇到的人想和你一起出去玩,空后提到你交朋友最好的办法就是继续对每个人都好,故空处的内容应仍与没有成功交到朋友有关,故选D项“同宿舍的人也是这样”。

38、答案：①which②on③creation④organized⑤to help⑥said⑦plays⑧actually⑨what⑩treasures
解析：①本文介绍了在中国教育体系中（拟）纳入（培养）提升学生文化遗产保护意识的（政策）条款。which 连词（定语从句引导词）。该题的难度在于如何判断出此处是定语从句→第二行的was jointly released是整句话的谓语。
②介词。表示具体某一天或某一天的上午、下午或晚上，用on。
③creation 词性转换。
④organized 非谓语动词-ed。“有组织的”，过去分词从当形容词，作前置定语。
⑤to help 动词不定式。目的状语或者也可以理解为“动词不定式作宾语补足语”。
⑥said 动词谓语/时态。一般过去时。该题的难度在于该空前面的逗号，极易填“saying”。
⑦plays 动词时态+主谓一致。该题的难度在于“不容易判断出前面的Cultural heritage是主语并且是三单形式”。
⑧actually 词性转换。
⑨what 连词（名词性从句引导词）。

39、答案：①to discover②which③exposed④for⑤but/yet⑥their⑦had become⑧a⑨were⑩inventions
解析：这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了火药是如何发明的，在古代的运用，以及对人类文化的影响。
①考查固定短语。句意：中国古代炼金师花了几个世纪的时间试图发现长生不老药。结合句意表达“试图做某事”应用try to do sth.，不定式作宾语。故填to discover。
②考查定语从句。句意：在唐代，大约公元850年，一位富有进取心的炼金术士创造了一种混合物，这种混合物对延长寿命没有明显效果，但当暴露在明火中时爆炸了。分析可知，空处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词mixture指物，从句缺少主语，应用关系代词which。故填which。
③考查非谓语动词。句意：在唐代，大约公元850年，一位富有进取心的炼金术士创造了一种混合物，这种混合物对延长寿命没有明显效果，但当暴露在明火中时爆炸了。be exposed to“暴露于……”为固定短语，此处省略be用过去分词和when构成时间状语。故填exposed。
④考查介词。句意：多年来，许多西方历史书籍都指出中国人将他的发现仅用于焰火，但事实并非如此。结合句意可知，此处为固定短语use...for...“把……用于……”。故填for。
⑤考查连词。句意：多年来，许多西方历史书籍都指出中国人将他的发现仅用于焰火，但事实并非如此。结合句意可知，事实并非很多西方史书中陈述的那样，即上下文是转折关系，应用but/yet连接。故填but/yet。
⑥考查代词。句意：早在公元904年，宋朝军队就使用火药装置对付他们的主要敌人——蒙古人。修饰名词词组primary enemy要用形容词性物主代词。故填their。
⑦考查时态。句意：到11世纪中后期，宋朝政府开始关注火药技术向其他国家的传播。根据时间状语“By the mid-to late-eleventh century”可知，句子应用过去完成时。故填had become。
⑧考查冠词。句意：1267年，一位欧洲作家提到了火药，1280年，西方出版了第一批火药配方。writer为可数名词，此处泛指一个作家，应用不定冠词，且European的发音是以辅音音素开头，故填a。
⑨考查时态和主谓一致。句意：1267年，一位欧洲作家提到了火药，1280年，西方出版了第一批火药配方。空处为句子谓语动词，主语recipes是复数，且根据1280判断为一般过去时。故填were。
⑩考查名词。句意：几个世纪以来，中国的发明对人类文化产生了深远的影响。此处应用名词作主语，助动词have提示主语为复数。故填inventions。
40、答案：have worked；to；built；the；Ultimately；to devote；improvement；seconds；whose；and
解析：①考查时态和主谓一致。根据时间状语“in the past 30 years”可知，应用现在完成时；主语为“the government, social organizations and local farmers”,表示复数概念，故填 have worked。
②考查介词。due to为固定搭配，意为“由于，因为”。
③考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，“With the first highway... here”为 with 复合结构，其中 the first highway与 build之间是逻辑上的动宾关系，且动作已经完成，故用动词-ed 形式作宾语补足语。
④考查冠词。此处特指上文的库布齐沙漠, 故填 the。
⑤考查副词。分析句子结构可知，空处修饰整个句子，所以应用副词形式。

⑨考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知，空处引导定语从句，先行词为 Meng Keda，且此处表示所属关系，故填 whose。
⑩考查连词。began a...与 earned...为并列关系,故填连词and。
41、答案：has been；unusual；uniqueness；was occupied；surrounded；in；As；China's；the；to be dug
解析：①考查时态。有时人们会觉得中国文明从很 久很久以前就一直存在。空处作谓语，根据since时间 状语可知，此处应用现在完成时。
②考查形容词。中国四川省三星堆最近的报 道展示了不同寻常的小雕像和陪葬面具，它们似乎是 由一个陌生的文明塑造的。根据下文中的“they were fashioned by a strange civilization”可知,空处表示的应是 “不寻常的”，故填unusual。
③考查名词。这种文化综合体的惊人独特 性被不断地融入对中国文明多样性的描述中。根据空 前的the和空后的of可知，此处应用名词，故填 uniqueness。
④考查时态和语态。此处陈述发生在过 去的事情，应用一般过去时，occupy“占据”与The area 是被动关系，故填was occupied。
⑤考查非谓语动词。古蜀国占据了一个四 面环山的、受保护的地理位置。空处在句中作后置定 语，且surround与geographical location之间是逻辑上的 动宾关系，应用过去分词，故填surrounded。

⑧考查名词所有格。空处作定语修饰名词，该 名词被first 修饰，因此空处不能填Chinese，因为first需 要放在Chinese前面，故填所有格China's“中国的”。
⑨考查冠词。根据句中的“by which Chinese civilization was formed”可知，此处表示特指，应用定冠词，故填the。
⑩考查非谓语动词。wait to do sth.“等待做 某事”，是固定搭配，且此处表示“被挖”，应用被动语 态,故填to be dug。
42、答案：
Dear Peter,
I`m happy to hear from you. Just as you`ve learned, artificial intelligence is now widely used in China. Here I`d like to share with you what I experienced during the National Day holiday.
First of all, wherever and whenever we went, we could use the mobile payment. More interestingly, we no longer had to get into tourist attractions with the ID card. We could do it through a face recognition app now, which really saved time so that we didn`t have to wait in a queue. What an amazing experience!
I do hope you can come to China and experience all of this when you have spare time. Looking forward to your coming.
Yours,
Li Hua

一、阅读理解
What's a dust devil (尘卷风) sound like on Mars America's Perseverance, a vehicle used to explore Mars, recorded the loud noise when one passed directly overhead. It's about 10 seconds of sounds of not only the wind blowing up to 40 kph, but hundreds of dust grains hitting the vehicle. Scientists released the first-of-its-kind audio (音频) Tuesday. It sounds strikingly similar to dust devils on Earth, although quieter since Mars' thin atmosphere makes for more muted sounds and less forceful wind.
The dust devil came and went over Perseverance quickly last year, thus the short length of the audio, said the University of Toulouse's Naomi Murdoch. At the same time, the camera on the parked rover (探测器) shot images, while its weather-monitoring instrument collected data. "It was fully caught red-handed, which greatly shook me. Catching a dust devil in space really takes some luck, "said German Martinez of the Lunar and Planetary Institute in Houston. Photographed for decades on Mars but never heard until now, dust devils are common on the red planet. This one was in the average range at least 118 meters tall and 25 meters across, traveling at 5 meters per second.
Given that the rover's microphone is turned on for less than three minutes every few days, Murdoch said it was "definitely luck" that the dust devil appeared when it did. She said there was just a 1-in-200 chance of recording the dust-devil sound and that of the 84 minutes collected in its first year, there was "only one dust devil recording".
This same microphone on Perseverance provided the first sounds from Mars—namely the Martian wind—soon after the rover landed on Mars. It followed up with audio of the rover driving around and its companion helicopter flying nearby. These recordings allow scientists to study the Martian wind, sudden and violent movements of air, and now dust movement as never before, Murdoch said.
1、Which is closest in meaning to "muted" in paragraph 1
A.Weak. B.Sharp. C.Strange. D.Clear.
2、What does Martinez think of Perseverance's catching the dust devil
A.Predictable. B.Well-timed. C.Inspirational. D.Mind-blowing.
3、What does Murdoch say about the recorded dust devil
A.It lasted for 84 minutes. B.It went beyond the average range.
C.It was caught just by chance. D.It was the first to be found on Mars.
4、What can the recordings on Perseverance help scientists gain insight into
A.How the Martian wind is measured.
B.How dust is transported around Mars.
C.How air movements impact the rover.
D.How rovers work with helicopters in space.
Karen Rodricks, senior library services supervisor (主管) at the Washington County-based Lake Elmo Library in Minnesota, didn't think the package she found on a library service desk on Wednesday was going to be anything out of the ordinary. But Rodricks said that when she approached and saw that the parcel had no return address, she felt this was interesting and decided to gather the rest of her team before seeing what was inside. "I wasn't concerned about it or anything—and I opened it and inside was this really carefully I auto repair book," she said.
Rodricks said that when she opened the book, she found an envelope with a "cute, thoughtful" handwritten note from the unnamed sender. "In the mid-1970s," the note read, "I was living in Lake Elmo and was working on an old Mercedes-Benz in a shop where I worked. I took out this book for reference. A few months later I moved and apparently the book got packed up.47 years later, I found it in a trunk with other interesting things from the 1970s.It's overdue, but I thought you might want it back.My apologies to anyone in Lake Elmo who was working on an old Benz in the last 47 years." Rodricks looked back inside and found there was 200 in cash.
While the money was a very kind gesture, that was not what stood out most to Rodricks."The best thing about this whole experience was in the person's note and in his caring about returning it, "Rodricks explained. "Even though it is 47 years late, he's showing he really appreciated the library back in the 1970s and he still appreciates the library now...This is one of the nicest thank-you notes you can send somebody. "
5、How did Rodricks look at the parcel at first
A.It seemed interesting. B.It was kind of upsetting.
C.It had nothing unusual. D.It was delicately packed.
6、What message about the sender is conveyed in the note
A.He was once a car repairman. B.He is a native of Lake Elmo.
C.He had to pay a late fee of 200. D.He wants to borrow a reference book.
7、What touches Rodricks most
A.The man's sincerity. B.The man's generosity.
C.The man's kindness. D.The man's straightforwardness.
8、Which can be the best title of the text
A.Apology Arriving Several Decades Late
B.Librarian Shocked by an Extraordinary Discovery
C.Lake Elmo Library's Book Lost and Found
D.Long-overdue Library Book Returned after 47 Years

People have different ways of dealing with waste paper, specifically used newspapers. Some put them in the recycling area, while others keep them as wrappers. While these are both good measures, a Japanese publishing company had a better idea for their end use.
The Mainichi Newspapers Co., Ltd.invented the "Green Newspaper", which allows people to grow plants with it. This unique newspaper was published on Greenery Day, which is an edition devoted to environmental news and made of green paper with seeds placed into it. What makes it even more sustainable is the ink（油墨）used to print words and photos, which is made from plants. The publisher advised readers to tear the used newspaper into small pieces and plant them in a container with soil. They should water them, like they would do for any plant. Within a few weeks, the seeds will grow into plants.
This brilliant concept was invented by Dentsu Inc., one of Japan's most distinguished advertising agencies, which works with the publishing company on the initiative. The publisher's core belief is environmental sustainability. As its mission statement says, "The Mainichi doesn't take action only through information, but also by solving global issues."

Every year, millions of birds fly between Mexico’s Sierra Madre Oriental mountains and the Gulf of Mexico from August to November to escape cold temperatures, giving rise to an event known as the “River of Raptors”, which brings hundreds of foreign birdwatchers to the coastal area of Veracruz.
“Many of my customers have been at other famous bird migration sites but say they have never seen anything as grand as the ‘River of Raptors’ in Veracruz,” said Steven Koevoet, a birdwatching guide who has shown visitors places in Yucatan and Veracruz for over 25 years.
Yet the yearly event has not led to a large increase in ecotourism. Critics suggest the lack of increased ecotourism is mainly caused by Mexico’s failure to encourage tourism away from its beach resorts. Environmentalists believe high levels of violence and environmentally unfriendly practices are also problems for developing ecotourism in the states of Chiapas and Veracruz. Violence has stopped birdwatching for years in some places, where the activity was an important source of income for local communities.
But, environmental groups, universities and farmers in Veracruz are trying to change this. Angel Viveros, a rancher (大农场主), uses land owned by his family for activities including birdwatching, horse riding, skydiving and hiking. Supported by the non-profit group Pronatura Veracruz, which studies and counts the birds in the yearly migration, he is now receiving hundreds of visitors yearly. Local coffee producers organize coffee tastings and educational talks about the importance of birds in spreading seeds. A green, bird-friendly stamp for those producers could be the next step. One retiree who has been visiting Veracruz since 2002 had this to say, “Apart from feeling the physical relaxation, it is like something spiritual ... there are no words to describe what it feels like to see the river of birds.”
16、What is the “River of Raptors” known for
A. The rich diversity of birds. B. The size of birds’ migrating.
C. The number of birdwatchers. D. The long distance of migration.
17、Why is Steven Koevoet mentioned
A. To stress the popularity of the event.
B. To explain his intention to be a guide.
C. To show his devotion to local tourism.
D. To prove the impressiveness of the event.
18、What prevents the development of ecotourism in Mexico according to critics
A. The lack of government support.
B. High levels and frequency of violence.
C. Disagreement among local communities.
D. The adoption of not eco-friendly methods.
19、What can be inferred about ecotourism from the last paragraph
A. People hold different attitudes to it.
B. Joint efforts are made to develop it.
C. It is a major source of income for the locals.
D. It has an uncertain future in Veracruz.

38、答案：①which②on③creation④organized⑤to help⑥said⑦plays⑧actually⑨what⑩treasures
解析：①本文介绍了在中国教育体系中（拟）纳入（培养）提升学生文化遗产保护意识的（政策）条款。which 连词（定语从句引导词）。该题的难度在于如何判断出此处是定语从句→第二行的was jointly released是整句话的谓语。
②介词。表示具体某一天或某一天的上午、下午或晚上，用on。
③creation 词性转换。
④organized 非谓语动词-ed。“有组织的”，过去分词从当形容词，作前置定语。
⑤to help 动词不定式。目的状语或者也可以理解为“动词不定式作宾语补足语”。
⑥said 动词谓语/时态。一般过去时。该题的难度在于该空前面的逗号，极易填“saying”。
⑦plays 动词时态+主谓一致。该题的难度在于“不容易判断出前面的Cultural heritage是主语并且是三单形式”。
⑧actually 词性转换。
⑨what 连词（名词性从句引导词）。
⑩treasures 名词单复数。前面的these提示了此处应该用可数名词的复数形式。
39、答案：①to discover②which③exposed④for⑤but/yet⑥their⑦had become⑧a⑨were⑩inventions
解析：这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了火药是如何发明的，在古代的运用，以及对人类文化的影响。
①考查固定短语。句意：中国古代炼金师花了几个世纪的时间试图发现长生不老药。结合句意表达“试图做某事”应用try to do sth.，不定式作宾语。故填to discover。
②考查定语从句。句意：在唐代，大约公元850年，一位富有进取心的炼金术士创造了一种混合物，这种混合物对延长寿命没有明显效果，但当暴露在明火中时爆炸了。分析可知，空处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词mixture指物，从句缺少主语，应用关系代词which。故填which。
③考查非谓语动词。句意：在唐代，大约公元850年，一位富有进取心的炼金术士创造了一种混合物，这种混合物对延长寿命没有明显效果，但当暴露在明火中时爆炸了。be exposed to“暴露于……”为固定短语，此处省略be用过去分词和when构成时间状语。故填exposed。
④考查介词。句意：多年来，许多西方历史书籍都指出中国人将他的发现仅用于焰火，但事实并非如此。结合句意可知，此处为固定短语use...for...“把……用于……”。故填for。
⑤考查连词。句意：多年来，许多西方历史书籍都指出中国人将他的发现仅用于焰火，但事实并非如此。结合句意可知，事实并非很多西方史书中陈述的那样，即上下文是转折关系，应用but/yet连接。故填but/yet。
⑥考查代词。句意：早在公元904年，宋朝军队就使用火药装置对付他们的主要敌人——蒙古人。修饰名词词组primary enemy要用形容词性物主代词。故填their。
⑦考查时态。句意：到11世纪中后期，宋朝政府开始关注火药技术向其他国家的传播。根据时间状语“By the mid-to late-eleventh century”可知，句子应用过去完成时。故填had become。
⑧考查冠词。句意：1267年，一位欧洲作家提到了火药，1280年，西方出版了第一批火药配方。writer为可数名词，此处泛指一个作家，应用不定冠词，且European的发音是以辅音音素开头，故填a。
⑨考查时态和主谓一致。句意：1267年，一位欧洲作家提到了火药，1280年，西方出版了第一批火药配方。空处为句子谓语动词，主语recipes是复数，且根据1280判断为一般过去时。故填were。
⑩考查名词。句意：几个世纪以来，中国的发明对人类文化产生了深远的影响。此处应用名词作主语，助动词have提示主语为复数。故填inventions。
40、答案：have worked；to；built；the；Ultimately；to devote；improvement；seconds；whose；and
解析：①考查时态和主谓一致。根据时间状语“in the past 30 years”可知，应用现在完成时；主语为“the government, social organizations and local farmers”,表示复数概念，故填 have worked。
②考查介词。due to为固定搭配，意为“由于，因为”。
③考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，“With the first highway... here”为 with 复合结构，其中 the first highway与 build之间是逻辑上的动宾关系，且动作已经完成，故用动词-ed 形式作宾语补足语。
④考查冠词。此处特指上文的库布齐沙漠, 故填 the。
⑤考查副词。分析句子结构可知，空处修饰整个句子，所以应用副词形式。
⑥考查非谓语动词。encourage sb. to do sth.意为“鼓励某人做某事”，故填 to devote。
⑦考查名词。根据空前的形容词 further 可知，此处应填名词作动词 saw 的宾语，故填improvement。
⑧考查名词复数。根据空前的ten可知，此处应填名词复数, ten seconds意为“十秒钟”。
⑨考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知，空处引导定语从句，先行词为 Meng Keda，且此处表示所属关系，故填 whose。
⑩考查连词。began a...与 earned...为并列关系,故填连词and。
41、答案：has been；unusual；uniqueness；was occupied；surrounded；in；As；China's；the；to be dug
解析：①考查时态。有时人们会觉得中国文明从很 久很久以前就一直存在。空处作谓语，根据since时间 状语可知，此处应用现在完成时。
②考查形容词。中国四川省三星堆最近的报 道展示了不同寻常的小雕像和陪葬面具，它们似乎是 由一个陌生的文明塑造的。根据下文中的“they were fashioned by a strange civilization”可知,空处表示的应是 “不寻常的”，故填unusual。
③考查名词。这种文化综合体的惊人独特 性被不断地融入对中国文明多样性的描述中。根据空 前的the和空后的of可知，此处应用名词，故填 uniqueness。
④考查时态和语态。此处陈述发生在过 去的事情，应用一般过去时，occupy“占据”与The area 是被动关系，故填was occupied。
⑤考查非谓语动词。古蜀国占据了一个四 面环山的、受保护的地理位置。空处在句中作后置定 语，且surround与geographical location之间是逻辑上的 动宾关系，应用过去分词，故填surrounded。
⑥考查介词。在那里发展的先秦文化本质上具有很 强的独特性。in nature意为“本质上，实际上”。
⑦考查定语从句。根据语境并分析句子结构可知， 空处引导定语从句，指代整个主句的内容，表示“正 如”，故用As。
⑧考查名词所有格。空处作定语修饰名词，该 名词被first 修饰，因此空处不能填Chinese，因为first需 要放在Chinese前面，故填所有格China's“中国的”。
⑨考查冠词。根据句中的“by which Chinese civilization was formed”可知，此处表示特指，应用定冠词，故填the。
⑩考查非谓语动词。wait to do sth.“等待做 某事”，是固定搭配，且此处表示“被挖”，应用被动语 态,故填to be dug。
42、答案：
Dear Peter,
I`m happy to hear from you. Just as you`ve learned, artificial intelligence is now widely used in China. Here I`d like to share with you what I experienced during the National Day holiday.
First of all, wherever and whenever we went, we could use the mobile payment. More interestingly, we no longer had to get into tourist attractions with the ID card. We could do it through a face recognition app now, which really saved time so that we didn`t have to wait in a queue. What an amazing experience!
I do hope you can come to China and experience all of this when you have spare time. Looking forward to your coming.
Yours,
Li Hua
