I advise you not to book with this company. I booked a trip to Switzerland and it was called off by the company. They would not pay back the insurance(保险)we took out to protect the trip. It is difficult to get in touch with the company when you have a problem. They don’t answer emails.

Katy M ★★★
The tour (London to Rome)was acceptable overall . Below are the Pros and Cons(利与弊) . Pros
1. A comfortable bus that was not too crowded
2. The breakfast hotels provided was good
Cons
The biggest complaint(不满)is that the hotels provided were always a long way from the city center. We were put in a hotel that was an hour out of London(with traffic). The same thing happened at every visited city—VERY disappointing.

Dianna S ★★★★★
Would highly recommend TourRadar! I myself, along with two lady friends, have just enjoyed a very good 5-night private tour of Romania. Our tour guide Vlad was wonderful in every way. We were very lucky to be the only 3 passengers in a large and comfortable bus. The places we visited were just impressive. Hotels were so well-located and comfortable. We enjoy this tour. It’s well worth the cost.

As I walk along the sidewalk, I never think I will take part in such a relay(接力)race . A car turns up. I look up and notice the elderly couple in the car heading toward me. As the car rolls past, the driver suddenly collapses(倒下)against the wheel . He passes out, right in front of my eyes. His wife, a pale woman in her mid-eighties, is staring out the passenger side window then.
I begin to run alongside the moving car, “Roll down(摇下)the window!” I shout wildly to her. Confused, she complies. With the window down, I am able to hold the doorframe. I pull hard against the force of the moving car. Only then does the lady realize what is happening. On the far side of the car, the traffic goes by in the opposite direction, one after another. Nobody even seems to notice. The whole scene is so unlikely. So impossible.
Just then, a woman appears from behind me. She runs alongside the driver side door. She opens the door and, as the car is slowing, she manages to change it out of “Drive” . The car is now stopped. A joyful “We did it!” feeling sweeps over me.
The next problem: the man’s not breathing.
Thoughts start running through my mind: I need to start CPR(心肺复苏术) … You can’t do CPR on a person sitting in a car … There’s no way I can lift this guy out … He has about five minutes until he’s dead.
I can’t help shaking. Over my shoulder, I notice a black SUV has pulled up behind us. A man is standing beside me and says, “I’m a doctor.” I step back. He quickly unfastens the driver’s seat belt, carries him to the sidewalk and begins CPR.
I walk around to the passenger window to check on the elderly lady. With tears in eyes and hands shaking, she can only manage to speak softly, “Will he be okay ”
“I hope so,” I tell her.
And he is.

This summer, a $2.10 billion energy storage project called Nant de Drance opened in Valais, Switzerland . The project, which some people call a “water battery (电池)”, can store more energy than 400,000 car batteries.
The system works by gravity. There are two large water reservoirs high in the Swiss mountains. One is much higher than the other. The two are connected by a system of underground passages. When there is too much electricity, Nant de Drance can use that energy to send water from the lower reservoir to the upper one. To produce power, water goes down from the upper reservoir. Gravity pulls the water down into the passages, where it rushes through six large turbines. They produce electricity .
Though the system is quite a simple one building it took 14 years and a lot of effort. The upper reservoir had to be doubled in size. Workers had to create 10.5 miles of large underground passages connecting the two reservoirs. That meant carving out huge amounts of rock from inside the mountains. The turbines are located over a third of a mile underground.
As the world turns more and more to renewable energy sources, being able to store energy is very important. Unlike oil, gas, or coal, many renewable energy sources only work some of the time and can not be burned to create energy any time. Solar panels only work when the sun is shining, for example. Wind turbines only create energy when the wind is blowing. Renewable energy must be stored if it’s going to be ready to use at any time.
Using water to store and create energy isn’t a new idea. But in the past, many water storage projects seriously changed or damaged rivers. Because Nant de Drance is almost completely underground, it’s caused little damage to the local environment.
8. What is the second paragraph mainly about
A. How Nant de Drance works. B. What Nant de Drance is like.
C. What effects the reservoirs have. D. How gravity influences power production,
9. Which word best describes the building of Nant de Drance system
A. Easy, B. Demanding. C. Time-saving. D. Effortless.
10. How does the author explain the necessity of storing renewable energy
A. By giving a description. B. By telling stories.
C. By presenting research findings. D. By using examples.
11. What is one of the advantages of Nant de Drance
A. It can survive longer. B. It can store energy more quickly.
C. It’s a completely new idea, D. It’s environmentally friendly.
D
At the beginning of the 21st century China had no high-speed railways. Traveling on trains in China was slow and uncomfortable. With low average speeds, it would take a long time to travel between major cities like Shanghai and Beijing.
Today, China already has the world’s largest network of high-speed railways. No fewer than 37, 900 kilometers(about 23, 500 miles) of lines cross the country, linking all of its major mega-city clusters(特大城市群), and all have been completed since 2008, with a further 3, 700 kilometers due to open in the coming months of 2021. The network is expected to double in length again, to 70, 000 kilometers, by 2035.
With trains reaching speeds of up to 350 kph on many lines, intercity travel has been changed and the control of airlines has been broken on the busiest routes. By 2020, 75% of Chinese cities with a population of 500, 000 or more had a high-speed rail link.
In comparison, Spain has about 3, 218 kilometers of high-speed rail lines built for operation at over 250 kph. At the same time, the UK currently has just 107 kilometers while the United States has a 735. 5 kilometers railway line connecting highly developed areas.
As China seeks to grow its influence across Asia and into Europe and Africa through the significant “Belt and Road Initiative(一带一路倡议)”, rail is playing a key part in creating the new “Silk Road” it desires.
Although its trains are now among the fastest in the world, China is also spending significant funds on the development of maglev(磁悬浮) technology, which will allow it to operate passenger services at up to 620 kph －well beyond the current limits of steel wheel on steel rails.
12. How was China’s railway system at the beginning of the 21st century
A. It was the world’s largest.
B. It covered its major cities.
C. It was fast and comfortable.
D. It was slow and uncomfortable.
13. What was the length of China’s high-speed railway network in 2021
A. About 3, 700 kilometers. B. About 37, 900 kilometers.
C. About 41, 600 kilometers. D. About 70, 000 kilometers.
14. Which country has the second largest high-speed railway network
A. China. B. Spain. C. The United Kingdom. D. The United States.
15. Why is China spending significant funds on maglev technology
A. Because it is much cheaper.
B. Because it is more environmentally friendly.
C. Because it is already widely used in other countries.
D. Because it can break through the current speed limit.

“Is this allIgot ” asked my daughter, Allison. “I asked for a new cellphone!”
“What kind of birthday is this ” asked my son, Blake.
Blake and Allison are twins. Every year, I gave them birthday presents. But they always felt unhappy about not receiving something on their wish list.
I knew I had somewhat spoiled(宠坏)them, but I had no idea it was this bad . I was in shock. How self-centered and unappreciative could my children be
I was determined to do something.
I found a family living on a farm that badly needed help. There were four children in the family aged from three to eight. I began to visit them every two months.
Soon, Allison and Blake’s birthday was drawing near. I decided to introduce them to the new friends. One day, I woke the kids early and drove them to the farm.
When we arrived, I told my children to take two bags off the car, of which one was filled with food and the other with many boxes full of presents my children would never be satisfied with.
We were welcomed inside with smiles and appreciation. Obviously, Alison and Blake were shocked by what they saw. I could guess they had never expected people would live such a difficult life.
“Look! Presents for you. ”Allison was trying to make the kids happier.
With their parents’ permission(允许), the kids began to pick the boxes up, shake them, and guess what was inside. They were so excited. Allison and Blake encouraged the kids to open the boxes. They did. And there were shouts of surprise and joy: a model car, chocolate …then laughter. Then grateful hugs(拥抱)and sincere “thank-yous” .
At first Alison and Blake looked confused but soon joined the children. Before long, they were laughing, too, proud that they brought happiness there.
On the way home, Alison and Blake were a little quiet. When it was time to go to bed that day, my kids hugged me and said, “Thank you, Mum. ”
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
The next year, with their birthday nearing, I asked Alison and Blake what presents they wanted.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I agreed and offered to drive them to the farm.

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了三个陌生人接力挽救一位在汽车行驶途中突然昏迷的汽车司 机的故事。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段中的最后一句“His wife, a pale woman in her mid-eighties, is staring out the passenger side window then. (他的妻子，一个80多岁的脸色苍白的女人，正盯着副驾驶座的窗外。)”和第 二段中的“Only then does the lady realize what is happening. (直到这时，这位女士才意识到发生了什么。)”可知，当司机昏迷的时候，乘客 （他的妻子）正盯着副驾驶的窗外，没有意识到出事了。故选D。
5题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线词下文“With the window down, I am able to hold the doorframe. (放下窗户，我就能抓住门框了。)”可知， 车窗被摇下来了，所以推知女士遵从了作者的指令。从而推断complies为“遵从”之意。故选C。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第六段中的“A man is standing beside me and says, “I’m a doctor. ”(一个男人站在我旁边说：“我是医生。”)”可 知，因为知道男士是医生，所以作者退后一步， 让医生来接手进行救助。故选C。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“As I walk along the sidewalk, I never think I will take part in such a relay(接力)race .(当我走在人行道上时，我从未想过我会参加这样的接力赛。)”及全文可知，本文叙述了三个陌生人接力挽救行驶途中突然昏迷的汽车司机的故事。起初是作者发现司机昏迷，力图想要将车停下来，在另一位女士的帮助下，汽车终于停下来。接着作者发现司机需要做心肺复苏，但作者却无法将司机移出车子，这时另一位男医生停车施救，最终挽救了司机的生命。因此，A项“A Relay Race to Save Life (一场挽救生命的接力赛) ”是最恰当的标题。故选A。
C

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要介绍了瑞士瓦莱州历经14年终于建成了抽水蓄能电站Nant de Drance, 这座价值21亿美元的“水电池”可以为绿色能源提供惊人的支持。
【8题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“The system works by gravity. There are two large water reservoirs high in the Swiss mountains. One is much higher than the other. The two are connected by a system of underground passages. When there is too much electricity, Nant de Drance can use that energy to send water from the lower reservoir to the upper one. To produce power, water goes down from the upper reservoir. Gravity pulls the water down into the passages, where it rushes through six large turbines. They produce electricity .(这个系统靠重力工作。在瑞士的高山上有两个大水库。一个比另一个高得多。两者由地下通道系统连接。当电力过多时，Nant de Drance可以利用这些能量将水从下层水库输送到上层水库。为了发电，水从上面的水库往下流。重力把水拉到通道里，在那里，水冲过6个大型涡轮机。它们发电)”可知，第二段介绍Nant de Drance电站是如何工作的。故选A。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Though the system is quite a simple one, building it took 14 years and a lot of effort.(虽然这个系统相当简单，但建造它却花了14年的时间和大量的努力)”可知，建造Nant de Drance这项工程是要求高的、费时费力的。故选B。
【10题详解】

D
At the beginning of the 21st century China had no high-speed railways. Traveling on trains in China was slow and uncomfortable. With low average speeds, it would take a long time to travel between major cities like Shanghai and Beijing.
Today, China already has the world’s largest network of high-speed railways. No fewer than 37, 900 kilometers(about 23, 500 miles) of lines cross the country, linking all of its major mega-city clusters(特大城市群), and all have been completed since 2008, with a further 3, 700 kilometers due to open in the coming months of 2021. The network is expected to double in length again, to 70, 000 kilometers, by 2035.
With trains reaching speeds of up to 350 kph on many lines, intercity travel has been changed and the control of airlines has been broken on the busiest routes. By 2020, 75% of Chinese cities with a population of 500, 000 or more had a high-speed rail link.
In comparison, Spain has about 3, 218 kilometers of high-speed rail lines built for operation at over 250 kph. At the same time, the UK currently has just 107 kilometers while the United States has a 735. 5 kilometers railway line connecting highly developed areas.
As China seeks to grow its influence across Asia and into Europe and Africa through the significant “Belt and Road Initiative(一带一路倡议)”, rail is playing a key part in creating the new “Silk Road” it desires.
Although its trains are now among the fastest in the world, China is also spending significant funds on the development of maglev(磁悬浮) technology, which will allow it to operate passenger services at up to 620 kph －well beyond the current limits of steel wheel on steel rails.
12. How was China’s railway system at the beginning of the 21st century
A. It was the world’s largest.
B. It covered its major cities.
C. It was fast and comfortable.
D. It was slow and uncomfortable.
13. What was the length of China’s high-speed railway network in 2021
A. About 3, 700 kilometers. B. About 37, 900 kilometers.
C. About 41, 600 kilometers. D. About 70, 000 kilometers.
14. Which country has the second largest high-speed railway network
A. China. B. Spain. C. The United Kingdom. D. The United States.
15. Why is China spending significant funds on maglev technology
A. Because it is much cheaper.
B. Because it is more environmentally friendly.
C. Because it is already widely used in other countries.
D. Because it can break through the current speed limit.

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国的铁路运输发展情况，中家已拥有世界上最大的高速铁路网并为了提升列车速度而致力于磁悬浮技术的研究。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“At the beginning of the 21st century China had no high-speed railways. Traveling on trains in China was slow and uncomfortable.”（在21世纪初，中国还没有高速铁路。在中国坐火车旅行既慢又不舒服。）可知，21世纪初的中国铁路系统既慢又不舒服。故选D项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“No fewer than 37, 900 kilometers(about 23, 500 miles) of lines cross the country, linking all of its major mega-city clusters(特大城市群), and all have been completed since 2008, with a further 3, 700 kilometers due to open in the coming months of 2021.”（不少于37900公里（约23500英里）的线路横穿全国，连接全国所有主要的特大城市群，自2008年以来，所有线路都已完工，另外3700公里将在2021年的几个月开通。）可知，到2021年除了之前的37900公里的线路之外还有3700公里将在2021年开通，总计为37900+3700=41600公里。故选C项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“In comparison, Spain has about 3, 218 kilometers of high-speed rail lines built for operation at over 250 kph. At the same time, the UK currently has just 107 kilometers while the United States has a 735. 5 kilometers railway line connecting highly developed areas.”（相比之下，西班牙拥有约3218公里的高速铁路线路，运营速度超过250公里/小时。与此同时，英国目前只有107公里，而美国有735.5公里的铁路线路连接高度发达地区。）可知，通过数据的对比西班牙是拥有第二大高速铁路网的国家。故选B项。
15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“With trains reaching speeds of up to 350 kph on many lines, intercity travel has been changed and the control of airlines has been broken on the busiest routes.”（随着许多线路的列车速度达到350公里/小时，城际旅行发生了变化，航空公司对最繁忙线路的控制也被打破。）及最后一段“Although its trains are now among the fastest in the world, China is also spending significant funds on the development of maglev(磁悬浮) technology, which will allow it to operate passenger services at up to 620 kph － well beyond the current limits of steel wheel on steel rails.”（尽管中国的列车目前是世界上速度最快的列车之一，但中国也在磁悬浮技术的发展上投入了大量资金，这将使其能够以620公里/小时的速度运营客运服务，远远超过目前钢轨上钢轮的限制。）可知，中国目前的列车速度达到350公里/小时，而磁悬浮技术将使其能够以620公里/小时的速度运行，推断出中国在磁悬浮技术的发展上投入了大量资金是因为它可以突破现在的速度限制。故选D项。

考查时态。句意：台湾元宵节在农历新年的第一个月圆之日举行。表示客观事实，应用一般现在时。主语是The Taiwan Lantern(灯笼)Festival，谓语动词用第三人称单数形式。故填takes。
【37题详解】
考查名词。句意：它与汉代统治者汉明帝有关，是他将天空点灯笼活动引入皇宫的。该句描述台湾的元宵节与汉朝的统治者有关，空格后Emperor Hanmingdi是所填词的同位语，因此此处应使用名词。故填ruler。

考查介词。句意：从那时起，点灯笼就在中国成为好运的象征。serve as为固定搭配，意为“充当，担任”。故填as。
【39题详解】
考查时态和语态。句意：2001年以前，台湾灯节只在台北市的蒋介石纪念堂举行。根据时间状语Before 2001可知，谓语动词应用一般过去时，又因为the Taiwan Lantern Festival和celebrate之间是被动关系，应用被动语态。故填was celebrated。
【40题详解】
考查形容词。句意：然而，随着当地政府努力促进经济发展，这一活动已经蔓延到台湾各地。根据该空后面的名词development可知，此处应用形容词来修饰名词，economy 的形容词有两个，分别为economic意为“经济的”；economical意为“节俭的”。此处指 “ 促 进 经 济 发 展 ” , 应 选 用 前 者 。 故 填economic。
【41题详解】
考查副词。句意：这个节日也被包括探索频道在内的一些媒体记录下来，被高度赞扬为世界上最好的节日之一。此处修饰动词praised应用副词。high作副词，表示具体的高度，意为“高高地”。highly表示抽象化的高度，通常不指实际的高度，主要用于程度，意为“高度地，非常”。故填highly。
【42题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：晚上，装饰着愿望和形象的灯笼被送上天空。分析句子结构可知，此处为which或that引导的限制性定语从句，修饰先行词lanterns, 关系词在定语从句中作主语。故填that/which。
【43题详解】
考查冠词。句意：除了点灯，延水区的烟火表演也是台湾元宵节的一大亮点。该空后面的attraction是可数名词，意为“吸引人的事物”。结合语境可知，此处应使用不定冠词。attraction的读音以元音音素开头，应用不定冠词an修饰。故填an。
【44题详解】
考查名词的数。句意：一旦点燃，烟花往往会击中挡住他们的人的背部。back在本句中意为“后背”, 根据后文中的of people可知，应用其复数形式。故填backs。
【45题详解】
考查形容词比较级。句意：人们认为，击中一个人的烟花越多，这个人就越幸运。本句使用了固定结 构“the十比较级 … , the+比较级 … ”, 意为 “越 ……就越 …… ”。本句意为：人们认为，越多 的烟火打到一个人的后背上，这个人就会越幸运。 故填luckier。

“Is this allIgot ” asked my daughter, Allison. “I asked for a new cellphone!”
“What kind of birthday is this ” asked my son, Blake.
Blake and Allison are twins. Every year, I gave them birthday presents. But they always felt unhappy about not receiving something on their wish list.
I knew I had somewhat spoiled(宠坏)them, but I had no idea it was this bad . I was in shock. How self-centered and unappreciative could my children be
I was determined to do something.
I found a family living on a farm that badly needed help. There were four children in the family aged from three to eight. I began to visit them every two months.
Soon, Allison and Blake’s birthday was drawing near. I decided to introduce them to the new friends. One day, I woke the kids early and drove them to the farm.
When we arrived, I told my children to take two bags off the car, of which one was filled with food and the other with many boxes full of presents my children would never be satisfied with.
We were welcomed inside with smiles and appreciation. Obviously Alison and Blake were shocked by what they saw. I could guess they had never expected people would live such a difficult life.
“Look! Presents for you. ”Allison was trying to make the kids happier.
With their parents’ permission(允许), the kids began to pick the boxes up, shake them, and guess what was inside. They were so excited. Allison and Blake encouraged the kids to open the boxes. They did. And there were shouts of surprise and joy: a model car, chocolate …then laughter. Then grateful hugs(拥抱)and sincere “thank-yous” .
At first Alison and Blake looked confused but soon joined the children. Before long, they were laughing, too, proud that they brought happiness there.
On the way home, Alison and Blake were a little quiet. When it was time to go to bed that day, my kids hugged me and said, “Thank you, Mum. ”

The next year, with their birthday nearing, I asked Alison and Blake what presents they wanted. Alison and Blake exchanged a glance and said, “Mum, we want something special this time. ”They asked for my permission to shop the presents themselves. Strange as it sounded, I nodded. So on that special day, we visited the supermarket together. To my surprise, they chose items I had never expected：shoes, gloves, pens … I sensed something unusual. With everything ready, Alison asked whether they could celebrate their birthday with our new friends together.
I agreed and offered to drive them to the farm. I reminded them to call their friends first. After that we headed for our destination. The moment we arrived, the whole family rushed to meet us. My children got all the bags into the house, opened them, and unfolded all the gifts. It was then that our friends learned all Alison and Blake brought were gifts for them. Seeing the various gifts, they were moved to tears. I realized my children would never be selfish and unappreciative again.
