第一节 (共11小题，每小题2.5分，满分27.5分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的ABCD四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
A big sandstorm hit northern China several months ago. It covered many cities with thick clouds of yellow dust (尘土).
The storm, which came from Mongolia, was the largest sandstorm in China in the past 10 years. Many flights and classes were canceled (取消) because the visibility (能见度) was lower than 500 meters.
The storm was the result of warm and dry weather in the area, together with the strong winds from Mongolia. “There has been little rainfall so far this spring and the temperature is rising. So now it is a worrying time for sandstorms,” said an expert from Beijing.
In recent years, sandstorms haven’t been as common in northern China as before. The land with desertification (沙漠化) has been falling by 7, 585 km per year in China, and the area of sandy land has been decreasing by 1, 284 km a year. This is thanks to China’s Three-North Shelter Forest Program (TNSFP, 三北防护林工程) which started in the 1970s. Millions of trees have been planted in northern China to prevent sandstorms and protect the environment.
Besides, China has a color-graded weather warning system (预警系统) for sandstorms, with red meaning the most serious, followed by orange and yellow. Therefore, people would have time to get prepared for the sandstorm.
Sandstorm visibility < 1 kilometer
Severe (严重的) sandstorm visibility < 500 meters
Super severe sandstorm visibility < 50 meters
1. What caused (造成) the sandstorm from Mongolia
A. Cold and wet weather, together with the strong winds.
B. Cold but sunny weather.
C. Warm, wet weather and the strong winds.
D. Warm, dry weather and the strong winds.
2. When did TNSFP start
A. In the 1970s. B. In the 1980s. C. In the 1960s. D. In the 1990s.
3. If the visibility in your city is 700 meters, what color will the warning be
A. Red. B. Orange. C. Yellow. D. Blue
B
A tree has roots (根). People have roots too. If you get to the root of a problem, you will solve it. It’s the same thing with words. Dig deeply into a big, unfamiliar word and you will understand where it came from.
As readers, especially those reading in a second language, we need to deal with the text as if we were detectives (侦探) looking for information to unlock (解开……秘密) the unknown. Like any good detective arriving on the crime scene, the first thing to do when meeting a new and difficult word is to judge the situation, to look at everything that is known and see if it helps us to understand what it means.
As you know, prefixes (前缀) and suffixes (后缀) can be added to the beginning or end of words to change the meaning. Know them, and you will have the word building power. But root words are the key (关键). Take time to learn a few of these, put them in your memory, and you will become a master word detective.
Let’s look at one common root word used in English. “Alter” from the Latin(拉丁语的) word means “other”. When you meet this root word, you know that the bigger word has something to do with “other”. Examine the word “alternate”. Can you find the Latin root in it
If you and your friend like to eat out, first you pay and the other pays the next time. You are alternating paying.
If you go to the movies on alternate Saturdays, you go on one Saturday, but not the other Saturday.
If you have no alternative, you have no other choice.
Learn as many root words as possible in the language you are studying. Then use your “rooting for words” skills. Like any new skill, practice and hard work are always paid back.
4. If Jim and Lily go to the movies, which one below is “alternating paying”
A Jim pays every time. B. They each pay half.
C They take turns paying. D. Their parents pay for them.
5. How does the author (作者) explain his ideas about root words
A. By giving a fact. B. By taking an example.
C. By telling a story. D. By having a discussion.
6. “Sen” from the Latin word means “old”. Which word uses this Latin root
A. My brother is my senior by two years.
B. He was ill so he was absent from school.
C. A criminal was sentenced to death by law.
D. 60 students were present at the sports meeting.
7. Which of the following shows the structure (结构) of the passage
(①=Paragraph (段落) 1 ② =Paragraph 2, ...)
A. B.
C. D.
C
FROM PROBLEMS TO SOLUTIONS
Economic development is necessary if we want to improve society. There comes a time when the old must give way to the new, and it is not possible to preserve everything from our past as we move towards the future. Finding and keeping the right balance between progress and the protection of cultural sites can be a big challenge.
Big challenges, however, can sometimes lead to great solutions. In the 1950s, the Egyptian government wanted to build a new dam across the Nile in order to control floods, produce electricity, and supply water to more farmers in the area. But the proposal led to protests. Water from the dam would likely damage a number of temples and destroy cultural relics that were an important part of Egypt’s cultural heritage. After listening to the scientists who had studied the problem, and citizens who lived near the dam, the government turned to the United Nations for help in 1959.
A committee was established to limit damage to the Egyptian buildings and prevent the loss of cultural relics. The group asked for contributions from different departments and raised funds within the international community. Experts investigated the issue, conducted several tests, and then made a proposal for how the buildings could be saved. Finally, a document was signed, and the work began in 1960.
The project brought together governments and environmentalists from around the world. Temples and other cultural sites were taken down piece by piece, and then moved and put back together again in a place where they were safe from the water.In 1961, German engineers moved the first temple. Over the next 20 years, thousands of engineers and workers rescued 22 temples and countless cultural relics. Fifty countries donated nearly $80 million to the project.
When the project ended in 1980, it was considered a great success. Not only had the countries found a path to the future that did not run over the relics of the past, but they had also learnt that it was possible for countries to work together to build a better tomorrow.
The spirit of the Aswan Dam project is still alive today. Perhaps the best example is shown by UNESCO, which runs a programme that prevents world cultural heritage sites around the world from disappearing. If a problem seems too difficult for a single nation, the global community can sometimes provide a solution.
8. In which year is the first temple moved
A. 1959. B. 1961. C. 1960. D. 1980
9. Why did the Egyptian government want to attempt the building of the dam
A. Because they wanted to control floods and help economic development.
B. Because they thought it not necessary to preserve everything from the past.
C. Because the project could bring together governments and environmentalists from around the world.
D. Because they could get help from the global community.
10. How were the temples and other cultural sites saved
A. They were rebuilt in other higher places.
B. They were moved to places with no water.
C. They were preserved in museums.
D. They were taken down piece by piece and moved to other places where they would be safe from the water.
11. How long did it take to complete the project
A. 2 years. B. 19 years. C. 20 years. D. 21 years.

THE STORY OF AN EYEWITNESS (Adapted)
Jack London
San Francisco, May 5, 1906. The earthquake that hit San Francisco on April 18 shook down hundreds of thousands of dollars’ worth of walls and chimneys (烟囱). But the fire that followed burned up hundreds of millions of dollars’ worth of buildings and homes. Never before in history has a city been so completely destroyed. San Francisco is gone. The factories, the great stores and newspaper buildings, the hotels, and the great houses of the rich are all gone.
On Wednesday morning at a quarter past five came the earthquake. A moment later, the disaster was a fact. South of Market Street, in the working-class neighborhoods and in the factories, fires started. Within an hour of the first quake, the smoke could be seen 100 miles away. The sun was red in the dark sky. There was no stopping the fires. The firefighters to whom the task was given did their best but there was no way to organize or communicate. The railway tracks were now useless and there was no water in water pipes. All of the ways man had made to keep the city safe were gone in the 30 seconds the earth moved.
By Wednesday afternoon, half the heart of the city was gone. At that time, I watched the disaster from a ship on the bay (海湾). Out at sea it was calm. No wind came up. Yet from every directioneast, west, north, and south-strong winds blew upon the unlucky city and those whose homes had once stood in its green hills.
Wednesday night saw the destruction of the very heart of the city. Man himself had to make ruins of some of the city’s best buildings so that they would not be a danger to those in the streets. Tens of thousands who had lost their homes left the city to look for shelter from the fires. Some were dressed only in blankets and carried the things that they had been able to rescue from the fires. But there were no fights and no pushing or shoving. Somehow this worst of disasters brought out the best in the survivors. Never in all of San Francisco’s history were her people so kind as on this night of terror.

A tree has roots (根). People have roots too. If you get to the root of a problem, you will solve it. It’s the same thing with words. Dig deeply into a big, unfamiliar word and you will understand where it came from.
As readers, especially those reading in a second language, we need to deal with the text as if we were detectives (侦探) looking for information to unlock (解开……秘密) the unknown. Like any good detective arriving on the crime scene, the first thing to do when meeting a new and difficult word is to judge the situation, to look at everything that is known and see if it helps us to understand what it means.
As you know, prefixes (前缀) and suffixes (后缀) can be added to the beginning or end of words to change the meaning. Know them, and you will have the word building power. But root words are the key (关键). Take time to learn a few of these, put them in your memory, and you will become a master word detective.
Let’s look at one common root word used in English. “Alter” from the Latin(拉丁语) word means “other”. When you meet this root word, you know that the bigger word has something to do with “other”. Examine the word “alternate”. Can you find the Latin root in it
If you and your friend like to eat out, first you pay and the other pays the next time. You are alternating paying.
If you go to the movies on alternate Saturdays, you go on one Saturday, but not the other Saturday.
If you have no alternative, you have no other choice.
Learn as many root words as possible in the language you are studying. Then use your “rooting for words” skills. Like any new skill, practice and hard work are always paid back.
4. If Jim and Lily go to the movies, which one below is “alternating paying”
A. Jim pays every time. B. They each pay half.
C. They take turns paying. D. Their parents pay for them.
5. How does the author (作者) explain his ideas about root words
A By giving a fact. B. By taking an example.
C. By telling a story. D. By having a discussion.
6. “Sen” from the Latin word means “old”. Which word uses this Latin root
A. My brother is my senior by two years.
B. He was ill so he was absent from school.
C. A criminal was sentenced to death by law.
D. 60 students were present at the sports meeting.
7. Which of the following shows the structure (结构) of the passage
(①=Paragraph (段落) 1 ② =Paragraph 2, ...)
A. B.
C. D.
【答案】4. C 5. B 6. A 7. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了学习词汇时，需要像侦探一样深入研究词根、前缀和后缀，以理解词汇的含义和用法。文章强调了词根的重要性，并举例说明了如何通过词根理解词汇的意义。
【4题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第五段中“ If you and your friend like to eat out, first you pay and the other pays the next time. You are alternating paying. ( 如果你和你的朋友喜欢出去吃饭，这次你先付钱，下次另一个付钱。你们就是交替支付)”可知，alternating paying指的是两个人“交替付款”。所以，如果吉姆和莉莉去看电影，alternating paying指的就是“她们轮流付钱”。故选C项。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“But root words are the key (关键). Take time to learn a few of these, put them in your memory, and you will become a master word detective.(但词根词是关键。花点时间学习其中的一些，把它们记在你的记忆里，你就会成为一个单词侦探大师)”可知，作者认为词根是词汇学习的关键，第四段中“Let’s look at one common root word used in English. “Alter” from the Latin (拉丁语的) word means “other”. When you meet this root word, you know that the bigger word has something to do with “other”. Examine the word “alternate”. Can you find the Latin root in it (让我们来看看英语中常用的一个词根。“Alter”来自拉丁语，意思是“其他的”。当你遇到这个词根时，你就知道更大的词和“other”有关)”作者列举了词根“Alter”来说明词根对词汇学习的重要性。所以，作者是通过举例的方式来阐述他对词根观点。故选B项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“Let’s look at one common root word used in English. “Alter” from the Latin (拉丁语的) word means “other”. When you meet this root word, you know that the bigger word has something to do with “other”. Examine the word “alternate”. Can you find the Latin root in it (让我们来看看英语中常用的一个词根。“Alter”来自拉丁语，意思是“其他的”。当你遇到这个词根时，你就知道更大的词和“other”有关)”可知，更大的词汇和它的拉丁语词根相关。题干告知我们拉丁语词根“Sen”的意思是“年老的；年纪大的”，结合A项句意“我哥哥比我大两岁。”可推知，senior一词意为“较年长的人；长者”，使用了拉丁语词根“Sen”。故选A项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“If you get to the root of a problem, you will solve it. It’s the same thing with words. Dig deeply into a big, unfamiliar word and you will understand where it came from.(如果你找到问题的根源，你就能解决问题。词汇也是如此。深挖一个陌生的大词，你就会明白它的由来)”可知，第一段提出研究词根的重要性；第二段中“As readers, especially those reading in a second language, we need to deal with the text as if we were detectives (侦探) looking for information to unlock (解开……秘密) the unknown. Like any good detective arriving on the crime scene, the first thing to do when meeting a new and difficult word is to judge the situation, to look at everything that is known and see if it helps us to understand what it means.(作为读者，尤其是那些用第二语言阅读的读者，我们需要像侦探一样寻找信息来解开未知的谜团。就像任何一个到达犯罪现场的好侦探一样，当遇到一个新的和困难的单词时，首先要做的是判断情况，看看所有已知的东西，看看它是否有助于我们理解它的意思)”是对第一段内容的进一步阐述，通过类比来说明如何利用词根来分析词义；根据第三段和第四内容可知，这两段是并列关系，用举例的方式说明如何通过词根来分析词义，与第二段构成并列关系；最后一段“Learn as many root words as possible in the language you are studying. Then use your “rooting for words” skills. Like any new skill, practice and hard work are always paid back.(尽可能多地学习这门语言的词根。然后运用你的“找词”技巧。就像任何新技能一样，练习和努力总会有回报的)”是对全文内容的总结。综上，第一段是文章主题段，第二段和第三、四段构成并列关系，是对主题内容的阐述，第五段总结全文。故选B项。

FROM PROBLEMS TO SOLUTIONS
Economic development is necessary if we want to improve society. There comes a time when the old must give way to the new, and it is not possible to preserve everything from our past as we move towards the future. Finding and keeping the right balance between progress and the protection of cultural sites can be a big challenge.
Big challenges, however, can sometimes lead to great solutions. In the 1950s, the Egyptian government wanted to build a new dam across the Nile in order to control floods, produce electricity, and supply water to more farmers in the area. But the proposal led to protests. Water from the dam would likely damage a number of temples and destroy cultural relics that were an important part of Egypt’s cultural heritage. After listening to the scientists who had studied the problem, and citizens who lived near the dam, the government turned to the United Nations for help in 1959.
A committee was established to limit damage to the Egyptian buildings and prevent the loss of cultural relics. The group asked for contributions from different departments and raised funds within the international community. Experts investigated the issue, conducted several tests, and then made a proposal for how the buildings could be saved. Finally, a document was signed, and the work began in 1960.
The project brought together governments and environmentalists from around the world. Temples and other cultural sites were taken down piece by piece, and then moved and put back together again in a place where they were safe from the water.In 1961, German engineers moved the first temple. Over the next 20 years, thousands of engineers and workers rescued 22 temples and countless cultural relics. Fifty countries donated nearly $80 million to the project.
When the project ended in 1980, it was considered a great success. Not only had the countries found a path to the future that did not run over the relics of the past, but they had also learnt that it was possible for countries to work together to build a better tomorrow.
The spirit of the Aswan Dam project is still alive today. Perhaps the best example is shown by UNESCO, which runs a programme that prevents world cultural heritage sites around the world from disappearing. If a problem seems too difficult for a single nation, the global community can sometimes provide a solution.
8. In which year is the first temple moved
A. 1959. B. 1961. C. 1960. D. 1980
9. Why did the Egyptian government want to attempt the building of the dam
A. Because they wanted to control floods and help economic development.
B. Because they thought it not necessary to preserve everything from the past.
C. Because the project could bring together governments and environmentalists from around the world.
D. Because they could get help from the global community.
10. How were the temples and other cultural sites saved
A. They were rebuilt in other higher places.
B. They were moved to places with no water.
C. They were preserved in museums.
D. They were taken down piece by piece and moved to other places where they would be safe from the water.
11. How long did it take to complete the project
A. 2 years. B. 19 years. C. 20 years. D. 21 years.
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. D 11. C
【解析】

【答案】Dear Sir/ Madam,
I’m Li Hua, a student from China. I’m writing to ask you for help in saving South China Tigers.
Their population is dropping at an alarming rate as their living spaces are becoming smaller and smaller due to the cutting of trees. Also, they are being hunted illegally for their valuable fur, skin and bones.
Personally, some efforts can be made to help rescue the endangered tigers. Above all, we should raise people’s awareness by turning to the social media for help. We can put out enough information on the website to stir up people’s interest in saving the tigers. We can also post some pictures to remind people of their serious situations. What’s more, governments of different countries must play a part. It would be a good idea if they could help pass laws to stop people hunting and buying tiger products. Only when buying stops will the hunting be stopped completely. More importantly, they can start national protection programmes, where nature reserves are set up to place the endangered species and volunteers are gathered to watch over them. If possible, the government can also train the tigers outside the reserve so that they can one day all return to the wild.
I sincerely hope you will take my proposals into consideration and help to protect these animals for their benefit and for the benefit of us all.
Yours faithfully,
Li Hua

THE STORY OF AN EYEWITNESS (Adapted)
Jack London
San Francisco, May 5, 1906. The earthquake that hit San Francisco on April 18 shook down hundreds of thousands of dollars’ worth of walls and chimneys (烟囱). But the fire that followed burned up hundreds of millions of dollars’ worth of buildings and homes. Never before in history has a city been so completely destroyed. San Francisco is gone. The factories, the great stores and newspaper buildings, the hotels, and the great houses of the rich are all gone.
On Wednesday morning at a quarter past five came the earthquake. A moment later, the disaster was a fact. South of Market Street, in the working-class neighborhoods and in the factories, fires started. Within an hour of the first quake, the smoke could be seen 100 miles away. The sun was red in the dark sky. There was no stopping the fires. The firefighters to whom the task was given did their best but there was no way to organize or communicate. The railway tracks were now useless and there was no water in water pipes. All of the ways man had made to keep the city safe were gone in the 30 seconds the earth moved.
By Wednesday afternoon, half the heart of the city was gone. At that time, I watched the disaster from a ship on the bay (海湾). Out at sea it was calm. No wind came up. Yet from every directioneast, west, north, and south-strong winds blew upon the unlucky city and those whose homes had once stood in its green hills.
Wednesday night saw the destruction of the very heart of the city. Man himself had to make ruins of some of the city’s best buildings so that they would not be a danger to those in the streets. Tens of thousands who had lost their homes left the city to look for shelter from the fires. Some were dressed only in blankets and carried the things that they had been able to rescue from the fires. But there were no fights and no pushing or shoving. Somehow this worst of disasters brought out the best in the survivors. Never in all of San Francisco’s history were her people so kind as on this night of terror.
