Four of the world's greatest national parks
Komodo
Location:Indonesia
Area:1,733 km2
Home to the world's largest lizard(蜥蜴), the Komodo dragon, the Komodo National Park is made up of 29 islands in the centre of the Indonesian archipelago(群岛). The park's three main islands of Komodo, Rinca and Padar make ideal destinations for divers, as the surrounding coral reefs support a vast amount of oceanic diversity. With over 1,000 species of fish, 260 species of coral, and countless sea animals, this is an ideal spot to swim with sharks, whales, dolphins and more.
Namib-Naukluft
Location:Namibia
Area:49,768 km2
In the world's oldest desert, the landscape moves. The golden dunes shift as winds blow and seasons pass. Visitors come to explore the dunes and it can be a real adventure. Jump in a 4×4 or hike across the sand for a multi-day trail and you'll soon find yourself deep in the Namibian wilderness. You'll need a permit and doctor's letter to go on the longer hikes, but one-day hikes give anyone a chance to see more of the Namib-Naukluft National Park.
Tongariro
Location:New Zealand
Area:796 km2
As New Zealand's oldest national park, the Tongariro National Park is home to three active volcanoes. And here's the Tongariro Alpine Crossing, a 19.4-kilometre hike that takes you across beautiful landscapes. This park also draws in skiers during the winter season. The biggest ski area, Whakapapa, covers an area of 5.5 km2 and has 15 lifts in all.
Teide
Location:Tenerife, Spain
Area:190 km2
This park is home to Mount Teide, the highest peak in Spain. With a height of 3,718 metres, Mount Teide is also the third largest volcanic structure on the planet. Besides, the Teide National Park possesses unique plants. The most unusual among the 139 recorded species is the red bugloss, which has become the symbol of the park.

Aarrav Anil, the 17-year-old student with a passion for robotics from Bengaluru, invented a smart spoon that can help people with Parkinson's disease eat with dignity.
Aarrav's interest in creating a smart spoon came from seeing his uncle Arjun who has Parkinson's disease struggling to feed himself. This disease affects the brain and leads to involuntary shaking. Hence, food kept spilling out of his mouth and onto his clothing.Aarrav wanted his uncle to be able to eat by himself with dignity.
Aarrav took to his room with microcontrollers, motors,sensors and a 3D printer. Not everything went smoothly.“It was frustrating not to be able to find the tiny electronic parts I needed here in India. I had to order some from China, but they took ages to arrive,” Aarrav said. Through tireless efforts, Aarrav made a first model but the handle was too slippery for his uncle to use so he had to change it. Then the prototype(雏形) went to be tested at the R.V. College of Physiotherapy in Bengaluru.
“I've been fine tuning the design based on the college's feedback—that it needs to be waterproof so that it can be washed without damaging all the electronics inside; and that it must be detachable(可拆卸的) so it can be cleaned and replaced by a fork,” Aarrav said. The trials being conducted at the college are expected to be completed by early 2024 and the results will be published in a medical journal.
Aarrav hopes that his smart spoon will begin to be manufactured on a small scale when the testing is complete. While other smart spoons already exist and two US companies are already producing their own versions,the cost is too high for most Indians. Aarrav's version is estimated to cost around $80. His hope is that everyone with Parkinson's disease will have access to a smart spoon.
24.What can Aarrav's invention help people with Parkinson's disease do
A.Maintain their physical balance.
B.Boost their moods and relieve stress.
C.Feed themselves much more easily.
D.Rid themselves of uncontrollable shaking.
25.What is emphasized about the invention of the smart spoon in Paragraph 3
A.Its popularity. B.Its challenges.
C.Its functions. D.Its application.
26.Which can best replace the underlined word “tuning” in Paragraph 4
A.Adjusting. B.Publicizing.
C.Outlining. D.Simplifying.
27.Which of the following can best describe Aarrav
A.Positive and sociable. B.Ambitious and caring.
C.Sensitive and conservative. D.Intelligent and humble.

Named “America's Finest City” due to its hospitality, beauty and ideal climate, San Diego is located on the border with Mexico. The residents are so active outdoors that it is called “Sportstown, the U.S.A.”. San Diego's 70 miles of beaches are a heaven for swimmers, surfers, divers, boaters and sunbathers. Another favourite outside activity is golf. With 100 courses(about 50 of them public), San Diego is a golfers' paradise.
Many San Diego residents came here first as tourists, who were attracted by San Diego's sunny beaches, nearby mountains and deserts, plus the cultural delights of any big city.

Free concerts are offered frequently. Another popular attraction is the SeaWorld, a 190-acre marine park.
San Diego's varied attractions, as well as its business climate, offer many opportunities for students to explore the local culture, meet people from around the world, and gain business experience. At San Diego State University, for example, students in the American Language Institute's study tour program learn English both in the classroom and while sightseeing.
28.What do the residents of San Diego probably like to do

Switzerland is set to become home to the world's tallest wooden residential building.
The project, named Rocket & Tigerli, will consist of four buildings, including one that takes pride in a 100-meter-tall(328-foot) tower.
The design will offer modern and high-quality housing with a maximum inflow of daylight, according to its designers from the Danish firm Schmidt Hammer Lassen Architects(SHL). It will also seek to create an active neighborhood that will be “rooted in the area's historical context”, according to a press release from the firm. The surface, for example, will be covered in dark red and yellow bricks combined with dusty green-colored details—in keeping with the red roofs and yellow bricks of the older buildings in the surrounding area.
“It is a big project that will have a significant influence on the community, socially as well as aesthetically. Because of the strong special knowledge Switzerland has, when it comes to building with wood, we are particularly proud to be working on this groundbreaking project.”
The four buildings will consist of housing facilities as well as spaces for shopping, a sky bar and a hotel. It is expected to be completed and ready for residents to move into by 2026. The striking architectural project is set to shake the world in 2022.
SHL competed with eight other construction companies around the world to design the building. Earlier this year, its design proposal was chosen as the winner—in part because of its open block structure.
The jury(评委会) said in its assessment, “By dissolving the original block structure and integrating(整合) the separate buildings, a larger surface area is achieved and thus more daylight, as well as a stronger connection to the surrounding environment.”
32.What can be a highlight of Rocket & Tigerli
A.Its residents. B.Its designers.
C.Its tall tower. D.Its different surface.
33.What are designed in the project according to SHL
A.Stores. B.Hospitals.
C.Museums. D.Playgrounds.
34.What can be regarded as the main advantage of SHL's design
A.Its low construction cost.
B.Its short construction period.
C.Its advanced firm management.
D.Its creative construction concept.
35.What can be the best title of this passage
A.World Architectural Styles Need Changing
B.World Architectural Competition Comes to an End
C.The World's Tallest Residential Tower in Switzerland
D.The World's Tallest Wooden Residential Building to Be Built

The Taj Mahal
Shah Jahan finished building the Taj Mahal in 1653. He was a rich and powerful emperor, and he built the Taj Mahal as a memorial to his wife. 36 The word “Taj” means the crown, and “Mahal” was the name of his wife. More than twenty thousand people worked for 22 years to complete this beautiful domed building. More than a thousand elephants carried huge stones and jewels from all over India and Central Asia to the Taj Mahal. Shah Jahan wanted this memorial to be the burial place for himself and his wife.
The Taj Mahal is on the bank of the Yamuna River in Agra in northern India. 37 Its picture is in most travel books and brochures. It is open daily from sunrise to sunset. Anyone can enter this peaceful and quiet place as long as they pay for the ticket.
As you enter, you pass through beautiful, silent gardens. From the gardens, you cross a wide courtyard. Suddenly, you see the dome of the main building through a tall, red sandstone gate. At daybreak, the Taj Mahal's white walls turn rose. At noon, they glow white. At dusk, they become dark grey. 38
After you pass through the gate,you step onto a wide stone platform. You catch sight of another garden with pools. Everything is arranged carefully in fours. 39 The garden is divided into four parts. There are straight rows of colorful flowers and trees in each of the parts. At the four corners of the Taj Mahal, there are pointed tall towers. After the gardens, you go down stone steps towards the main building with the tomb of Shah Jahan and his wife.
After hundreds of years, the Taj Mahal remains a lovely and peaceful place. 40

Sitting back in my seat, I can't quite believe that I'm about to travel along the railway that many foreign experts 41 was “impossible”. The train has been racing along steadily since it left Xining. All this time, the song “Sky Railway” has been playing inside my head. The words “railways like massive dragons are 42 among the mountains” seem particularly vivid as I travel across the “roof of the world”.
I was one of the people who came from all parts of China to work on this railway. Taking years to complete, the Qinghai-Xizang Railway is a record of all of our efforts to 43 the most difficult engineering challenges. How to protect the 44 ecosystem was among the top 45 .
The first landmark to catch my eye is the splendid Qingshuihe Bridge, the world's longest bridge built over permafrost. Look! A group of chiru(藏羚羊) is moving under the bridge, with some stopping to eat grass 46 leisure. Thirty-three passages have been built under the railway to allow the animals to move safely and freely in their natural 47 . Wild animals such as these chiru have now been using these passages for years. They seem totally 48 that we are speeding past at over 100 kilometres an hour.
To prevent damage to wetlands and grasslands, 675 bridges with a total length of about 160 kilometres were built between Golmud and Lhasa. We even moved 140,000 square metres of wetland to a new area in order to protect its 49 ecosystem.
The journey has been flying by, and 50 I know it, we have reached Tanggula Station. 51 at over 5,000 metres above sea level, this is the highest railway station in the world. In locations such as this, the thin air, changeable weather and high levels of UV radiation presented perhaps the greatest challenge for railway workers. To make sure we stayed healthy, several oxygen-making stations were 52 . We were also able to enjoy regular breaks in lower areas.
As we pass Cuona Lake, I feel a sense of 53 and achievement. Using thousands and thousands of sandbags, we built a twenty-kilometre wall along the lake to protect it from construction waste. Cuona Lake is so close to the railway that I want to reach out and touch its pale blue mirror-like surface. Water birds playing in the lake, and cattle and sheep wandering the grasslands bring the scenery to life.
The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau has been attracting people's 54 for centuries. Now, 55 our efforts, passengers from all over the country have been enjoying these magical landscapes. I am proud that we built our “impossible” railway, and did so with the care that the environment deserves. It truly is an extraordinary “Sky Railway”.

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Deep in the forest, my husband and I had fun climbing over and crawling under the fallen trees that blocked the dirt path before us. It was May, yet we walked up a snow-covered hill.
When we noticed our jeans were wet up to our knees, it did not dampen(减弱) our spirits. Not once did we say, “Let's turn around.” This was our vacation, and we were on an adventure. Little did we know this was the beginning of many more surprises.
The trail was marked as an easy one-kilometer hike, yet we were already walking a long distance. Our lightheartedness(轻松自在) stopped when we came out into a clearing and saw a parking lot without our rental car in it. As my eyes scanned the surroundings, nothing looked familiar. My heart raced. I realized we were lost in a national park that did not officially open.
Usually, I am the calm one in the relationship, but my husband surprised me with his calmness. This did not comfort me; in fact, it heightened my fear. As we walked, I asked my husband to call for help, but there was no cellphone signals in this isolated area.
It was awfully quiet except for our footsteps hitting the road and my heavy breathing. My husband suggested we conserve energy and walk slower. With each step on the road, my feet and thighs(大腿) hurt while my mind raced with thoughts about people who got lost in the Canadian woods for days.
My vision sharpened. I noticed everything around me:the trees, rocks and snow. I thought we could eat the snow on the ground in case we needed water. For the first time in my life I was ready and willing to get a ride, but we did not meet a single car on the road. Silently, I prayed multiple times. We focused on each other, made joint decisions and connected through gratitude. We managed to stay on the main road and walked straight on.
注意:续写词数应为150个左右。
My husband suddenly spotted a small building on a hill in the distance.
Just then,a friendly woman appeared,saying,“Hello.”

35.D 主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第一段可知,本文主要介绍的是瑞士将建成的世界上最高的木制住宅楼的相关情况。由此可知,The World's Tallest Wooden Residential Building to Be Built(世界上最高的木制住宅建筑即将建成)适合作为本文最佳标题。故选D。
第二节
◎语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文,介绍了著名古迹泰姬陵的背景、构造及布局。
36.A 设空处前文讲到Shah Jahan建造了泰姬陵作为对他妻子的纪念,后文则提到了泰姬陵中的“Mahal”是他妻子的名字。故A项“它是爱情的见证”承接前文,且和后文话题一致,其中“It”指代的就是前文中的“the Taj Mahal”。
37.F 设空处前文讲到泰姬陵位于印度北部阿格拉的亚穆纳河畔。后文讲到它的图片出现在大部分旅游的书籍和小册子中。故F项“对世界上许多人来说,泰姬陵是印度的标志”符合语境。
38.E 根据设空处前文“黎明时分,泰姬陵的白墙会变成粉红色。中午时,它们闪着白光。黄昏时,它们会变成深灰色”可知,此处介绍了泰姬陵墙的颜色一天从早到晚的变化。根据时间顺序可知,本句应当是晚上泰姬陵的特点,故E项“泰姬陵在满月光线的照耀下最美丽”符合语境。
39.B 设空处前文讲到花园内的所有东西都被精心地布置成四个一组。后文也提到花园分为四个部分。故B项“4在伊斯兰教是个特殊的数字”承上启下,符合语境。
40.D 根据设空处前文“数百年过去了,泰姬陵仍然是一个美丽而宁静的地方”,结合该空处于最后一段的段尾可推断,这是对泰姬陵的总结概括。故D项“这个美丽的建筑真是全人类的瑰宝”符合语境。
第三部分 语言运用
第一节
◎语篇解读 本文是一篇记叙文,主要介绍了作者乘坐自己参与建设的青藏铁路时的感受,并回顾了建设铁路时的种种困难和对生态环境的保护。
41.B 根据最后一段中的“we built our ‘impossible’ railway”可推断,作者不敢相信自己将在许多外国专家声称(claimed)“不可能(建成)”的铁路上旅行。故选B。
42.B 此处指铁路像巨龙一样在群山之中蜿蜒(winding)。故选B。
43.D 根据“Taking years to complete”以及“the most difficult engineering challenges”可知,这里指克服(overcome)挑战,故选D。
44.B 根据第四段可知,修建铁路时,人们做了大量的工作去保护当地的生态系统。结合选项可推断铁路所经之地的生态系统很脆弱(delicate),故选B。
45.A 根据下文作者对保护生态系统的工作的叙述可知,因为生态系统很脆弱,所以保护脆弱的生态系统是最重要的事(concerns),故选A。
46.B 固定搭配at leisure意为“悠闲地”,这里指“一群藏羚羊正在桥下走动,有的停下来悠闲地吃草”。故选B。
47.A 根据上文可知建铁路时要保护生态环境,因此修建通道是为了使动物能在自然栖息地(habitat)自由安全地通行。故选A。
48.D 根据上文可知,野生动物已经安全自由地使用这些通道很多年了。由此可推断,它们并未受到火车的影响,因此“它们似乎完全没有意识到(unaware)我们正以每小时一百多千米的速度呼啸而过”符合语境。故选D。
49.C 根据上文“wetlands and grasslands”可知,迁移湿地是为了保护它截然不同的生态系统。故选C。
50.A 句意:旅程飞逝而过,还没等我反应过来,我们就已经到达了唐古拉站。before引导时间状语从句时,表示“在……之前;还未……就……”。故选A。

One possible version:
Dear Noah,
I'm really glad that you take great interest in ancient Chinese architecture.
Thousands of ancient buildings have survived from China's history. However, there is no better place to visit than the Forbidden City in Beijing. It served as the royal palace for centuries. Summer is a good time for traveling, so shall we go there on August 1 I believe you'll have a better experience if you know its history. You'd better do some research online, which is of great benefit to you.
Please let me know if you need further information.
Yours,
Li Hua
第二节
One possible version:
My husband suddenly spotted a small building on a hill in the distance. In no time we found ourselves heading for it. We were filled with hope and excitement to find such a building. We climbed up the hill at a swinging pace as if all the pains were gone. As we approached, a sign came into sight, which read:Administration Office. However, it was not open for business. The empty hall made us nervous all at once. We stood there hopelessly, wondering what to do next.
Just then,a friendly woman appeared,saying,“Hello.” I could barely hold back my enthusiasm and blurted, “We're lost!” She comforted us and provided a room for us to take a break. Seeing we were cold and hungry, she treated us to hot chocolate. After studying the map, we figured out that our car was parked over three kilometers away. She offered us a ride back to our car and we accepted gladly. I felt relieved to see our rental car again. What a blessing it was to have such an unforgettable experience!

Four of the world's greatest national parks
Komodo
Location:Indonesia
Area:1,733 km2
Home to the world's largest lizard(蜥蜴), the Komodo dragon, the Komodo National Park is made up of 29 islands in the centre of the Indonesian archipelago(群岛). The park's three main islands of Komodo, Rinca and Padar make ideal destinations for divers, as the surrounding coral reefs support a vast amount of oceanic diversity. With over 1,000 species of fish, 260 species of coral, and countless sea animals, this is an ideal spot to swim with sharks, whales, dolphins and more.
Namib-Naukluft
Location:Namibia
Area:49,768 km2
In the world's oldest desert, the landscape moves. The golden dunes shift as winds blow and seasons pass. Visitors come to explore the dunes and it can be a real adventure. Jump in a 4×4 or hike across the sand for a multi-day trail and you'll soon find yourself deep in the Namibian wilderness. You'll need a permit and doctor's letter to go on the longer hikes, but one-day hikes give anyone a chance to see more of the Namib-Naukluft National Park.
Tongariro
Location:New Zealand
Area:796 km2
As New Zealand's oldest national park, the Tongariro National Park is home to three active volcanoes. And here's the Tongariro Alpine Crossing, a 19.4-kilometre hike that takes you across beautiful landscapes. This park also draws in skiers during the winter season. The biggest ski area, Whakapapa, covers an area of 5.5 km2 and has 15 lifts in all.
Teide
Location:Tenerife, Spain
Area:190 km2
This park is home to Mount Teide, the highest peak in Spain. With a height of 3,718 metres, Mount Teide is also the third largest volcanic structure on the planet. Besides, the Teide National Park possesses unique plants. The most unusual among the 139 recorded species is the red bugloss, which has become the symbol of the park.

Aarrav Anil, the 17-year-old student with a passion for robotics from Bengaluru, invented a smart spoon that can help people with Parkinson's disease eat with dignity.
Aarrav's interest in creating a smart spoon came from seeing his uncle Arjun who has Parkinson's disease struggling to feed himself. This disease affects the brain and leads to involuntary shaking. Hence, food kept spilling out of his mouth and onto his clothing.Aarrav wanted his uncle to be able to eat by himself with dignity.
Aarrav took to his room with microcontrollers, motors,sensors and a 3D printer. Not everything went smoothly.“It was frustrating not to be able to find the tiny electronic parts I needed here in India. I had to order some from China, but they took ages to arrive,” Aarrav said. Through tireless efforts, Aarrav made a first model but the handle was too slippery for his uncle to use so he had to change it. Then the prototype(雏形) went to be tested at the R.V. College of Physiotherapy in Bengaluru.
“I've been fine tuning the design based on the college's feedback—that it needs to be waterproof so that it can be washed without damaging all the electronics inside; and that it must be detachable(可拆卸的) so it can be cleaned and replaced by a fork,” Aarrav said. The trials being conducted at the college are expected to be completed by early 2024 and the results will be published in a medical journal.
Aarrav hopes that his smart spoon will begin to be manufactured on a small scale when the testing is complete. While other smart spoons already exist and two US companies are already producing their own versions,the cost is too high for most Indians. Aarrav's version is estimated to cost around $80. His hope is that everyone with Parkinson's disease will have access to a smart spoon.
24.What can Aarrav's invention help people with Parkinson's disease do
A.Maintain their physical balance.
B.Boost their moods and relieve stress.
C.Feed themselves much more easily.
D.Rid themselves of uncontrollable shaking.
25.What is emphasized about the invention of the smart spoon in Paragraph 3
A.Its popularity. B.Its challenges.
C.Its functions. D.Its application.
26.Which can best replace the underlined word “tuning” in Paragraph 4
A.Adjusting. B.Publicizing.
C.Outlining. D.Simplifying.
27.Which of the following can best describe Aarrav
A.Positive and sociable. B.Ambitious and caring.
C.Sensitive and conservative. D.Intelligent and humble.

Named “America's Finest City” due to its hospitality, beauty and ideal climate, San Diego is located on the border with Mexico. The residents are so active outdoors that it is called “Sportstown, the U.S.A.”. San Diego's 70 miles of beaches are a heaven for swimmers, surfers, divers, boaters and sunbathers. Another favourite outside activity is golf. With 100 courses(about 50 of them public), San Diego is a golfers' paradise.

Free concerts are offered frequently. Another popular attraction is the SeaWorld, a 190-acre marine park.
San Diego's varied attractions, as well as its business climate, offer many opportunities for students to explore the local culture, meet people from around the world, and gain business experience.

Switzerland is set to become home to the world's tallest wooden residential building.
The project, named Rocket & Tigerli, will consist of four buildings, including one that takes pride in a 100-meter-tall(328-foot) tower.
The design will offer modern and high-quality housing with a maximum inflow of daylight, according to its designers from the Danish firm Schmidt Hammer Lassen Architects(SHL). It will also seek to create an active neighborhood that will be “rooted in the area's historical context”, according to a press release from the firm. The surface, for example, will be covered in dark red and yellow bricks combined with dusty green-colored details—in keeping with the red roofs and yellow bricks of the older buildings in the surrounding area.
“It is a big project that will have a significant influence on the community, socially as well as aesthetically. Because of the strong special knowledge Switzerland has, when it comes to building with wood, we are particularly proud to be working on this groundbreaking project.”
The four buildings will consist of housing facilities as well as spaces for shopping, a sky bar and a hotel. It is expected to be completed and ready for residents to move into by 2026. The striking architectural project is set to shake the world in 2022.
SHL competed with eight other construction companies around the world to design the building. Earlier this year, its design proposal was chosen as the winner—in part because of its open block structure.
The jury(评委会) said in its assessment, “By dissolving the original block structure and integrating(整合) the separate buildings, a larger surface area is achieved and thus more daylight, as well as a stronger connection to the surrounding environment.”
32.What can be a highlight of Rocket & Tigerli
A.Its residents. B.Its designers.
C.Its tall tower. D.Its different surface.
33.What are designed in the project according to SHL
A.Stores. B.Hospitals.
C.Museums. D.Playgrounds.
34.What can be regarded as the main advantage of SHL's design
A.Its low construction cost.
B.Its short construction period.
C.Its advanced firm management.
D.Its creative construction concept.
35.What can be the best title of this passage
A.World Architectural Styles Need Changing
B.World Architectural Competition Comes to an End
C.The World's Tallest Residential Tower in Switzerland
D.The World's Tallest Wooden Residential Building to Be Built

The Taj Mahal
Shah Jahan finished building the Taj Mahal in 1653. He was a rich and powerful emperor, and he built the Taj Mahal as a memorial to his wife. 36 The word “Taj” means the crown, and “Mahal” was the name of his wife. More than twenty thousand people worked for 22 years to complete this beautiful domed building. More than a thousand elephants carried huge stones and jewels from all over India and Central Asia to the Taj Mahal. Shah Jahan wanted this memorial to be the burial place for himself and his wife.
The Taj Mahal is on the bank of the Yamuna River in Agra in northern India. 37 Its picture is in most travel books and brochures. It is open daily from sunrise to sunset. Anyone can enter this peaceful and quiet place as long as they pay for the ticket.
As you enter, you pass through beautiful, silent gardens. From the gardens, you cross a wide courtyard. Suddenly, you see the dome of the main building through a tall, red sandstone gate. At daybreak, the Taj Mahal's white walls turn rose. At noon, they glow white. At dusk, they become dark grey. 38
After you pass through the gate,you step onto a wide stone platform. You catch sight of another garden with pools. Everything is arranged carefully in fours. 39 The garden is divided into four parts. There are straight rows of colorful flowers and trees in each of the parts. At the four corners of the Taj Mahal, there are pointed tall towers. After the gardens, you go down stone steps towards the main building with the tomb of Shah Jahan and his wife.
After hundreds of years, the Taj Mahal remains a lovely and peaceful place. 40

B.Four is a special number in the Muslim religion.

Sitting back in my seat, I can't quite believe that I'm about to travel along the railway that many foreign experts 41 was “impossible”. The train has been racing along steadily since it left Xining. All this time, the song “Sky Railway” has been playing inside my head. The words “railways like massive dragons are 42 among the mountains” seem particularly vivid as I travel across the “roof of the world”.
I was one of the people who came from all parts of China to work on this railway. Taking years to complete, the Qinghai-Xizang Railway is a record of all of our efforts to 43 the most difficult engineering challenges. How to protect the 44 ecosystem was among the top 45 .
The first landmark to catch my eye is the splendid Qingshuihe Bridge, the world's longest bridge built over permafrost. Look! A group of chiru(藏羚羊) is moving under the bridge, with some stopping to eat grass 46 leisure. Thirty-three passages have been built under the railway to allow the animals to move safely and freely in their natural 47 . Wild animals such as these chiru have now been using these passages for years. They seem totally 48 that we are speeding past at over 100 kilometres an hour.
To prevent damage to wetlands and grasslands, 675 bridges with a total length of about 160 kilometres were built between Golmud and Lhasa. We even moved 140,000 square metres of wetland to a new area in order to protect its 49 ecosystem.
The journey has been flying by, and 50 I know it, we have reached Tanggula Station. 51 at over 5,000 metres above sea level, this is the highest railway station in the world. In locations such as this, the thin air, changeable weather and high levels of UV radiation presented perhaps the greatest challenge for railway workers. To make sure we stayed healthy, several oxygen-making stations were 52 . We were also able to enjoy regular breaks in lower areas.
As we pass Cuona Lake, I feel a sense of 53 and achievement. Using thousands and thousands of sandbags, we built a twenty-kilometre wall along the lake to protect it from construction waste. Cuona Lake is so close to the railway that I want to reach out and touch its pale blue mirror-like surface. Water birds playing in the lake, and cattle and sheep wandering the grasslands bring the scenery to life.
The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau has been attracting people's 54 for centuries. Now, 55 our efforts, passengers from all over the country have been enjoying these magical landscapes. I am proud that we built our “impossible” railway, and did so with the care that the environment deserves. It truly is an extraordinary “Sky Railway”.

第二节(满分25分)
阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Deep in the forest, my husband and I had fun climbing over and crawling under the fallen trees that blocked the dirt path before us. It was May, yet we walked up a snow-covered hill.
When we noticed our jeans were wet up to our knees, it did not dampen(减弱) our spirits. Not once did we say, “Let's turn around.” This was our vacation, and we were on an adventure. Little did we know this was the beginning of many more surprises.
The trail was marked as an easy one-kilometer hike, yet we were already walking a long distance. Our lightheartedness(轻松自在) stopped when we came out into a clearing and saw a parking lot without our rental car in it. As my eyes scanned the surroundings, nothing looked familiar. My heart raced. I realized we were lost in a national park that did not officially open.
Usually, I am the calm one in the relationship, but my husband surprised me with his calmness. This did not comfort me; in fact, it heightened my fear. As we walked, I asked my husband to call for help, but there was no cellphone signals in this isolated area.
It was awfully quiet except for our footsteps hitting the road and my heavy breathing. My husband suggested we conserve energy and walk slower. With each step on the road, my feet and thighs(大腿) hurt while my mind raced with thoughts about people who got lost in the Canadian woods for days.
My vision sharpened. I noticed everything around me:the trees, rocks and snow. I thought we could eat the snow on the ground in case we needed water. For the first time in my life I was ready and willing to get a ride, but we did not meet a single car on the road. Silently, I prayed multiple times. We focused on each other, made joint decisions and connected through gratitude. We managed to stay on the main road and walked straight on.
注意:续写词数应为150个左右。
My husband suddenly spotted a small building on a hill in the distance.
Just then,a friendly woman appeared,saying,“Hello.”

22.D 细节理解题。
Komodo Namib-Naukluft Tongariro Teide
Area 1,733 km2 49,768 km2 796 km2 190 km2
所以Namib-Naukluft国家公园是最大的。故选D。

25.B 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Not everything went smoothly.”及后文提到的在找微型电子器件时遇到的困难和制作出的第一个模型太滑可知,第三段主要描述了Aarrav在发明智能勺子的过程中遇到的一些挑战和困难。故选B。
26.A 词义猜测题。根据画线单词下文“based on the college's feedback”及后文的“it needs to be waterproof”“it must be detachable”可推测,这里指Aarrav一直在根据学院的反馈对设计进行调整。选项A (调整)符合语境,故选A。B.宣传;C.概述;D.简化。

C
◎语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文,说明了圣迭戈被称为“美国最美好的城市”的主要原因。

31.A 推理判断题。文章最后一段说,学生们在圣迭戈可以接触来自世界各地的人,获得商业经验,还提到了学生们既能在教室中学习英语,也能在观光时学习英语。因此A项“圣迭戈对学生们来说是一个可以获得实践经验的好地方”符合题意。故选A。
D
◎语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲的是瑞士将建成的世界上最高的木制住宅楼的相关情况。
32.C 细节理解题。根据第二段“The project, named Rocket & Tigerli...takes pride in a 100-meter-tall (328-foot) tower.[该项目名为Rocket & Tigerli,将由四座建筑组成,其中一座以100米高(328英尺)的塔为傲]”可知,Rocket & Tigerli的一个亮点是它的高塔。故选C。
33.A 细节理解题。根据第五段中的“The four buildings will consist of housing facilities as well as spaces for shopping, a sky bar and a hotel.(这四座建筑将包括住房设施以及购物空间、一个空中酒吧和一个酒店)”可知,在项目中设计了商店。故选A。

35.D 主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第一段可知,本文主要介绍的是瑞士将建成的世界上最高的木制住宅楼的相关情况。由此可知,The World's Tallest Wooden Residential Building to Be Built(世界上最高的木制住宅建筑即将建成)适合作为本文最佳标题。故选D。
第二节
◎语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文,介绍了著名古迹泰姬陵的背景、构造及布局。
36.A 设空处前文讲到Shah Jahan建造了泰姬陵作为对他妻子的纪念,后文则提到了泰姬陵中的“Mahal”是他妻子的名字。故A项“它是爱情的见证”承接前文,且和后文话题一致,其中“It”指代的就是前文中的“the Taj Mahal”。
37.F 设空处前文讲到泰姬陵位于印度北部阿格拉的亚穆纳河畔。后文讲到它的图片出现在大部分旅游的书籍和小册子中。故F项“对世界上许多人来说,泰姬陵是印度的标志”符合语境。
38.E 根据设空处前文“黎明时分,泰姬陵的白墙会变成粉红色。中午时,它们闪着白光。黄昏时,它们会变成深灰色”可知,此处介绍了泰姬陵墙的颜色一天从早到晚的变化。根据时间顺序可知,本句应当是晚上泰姬陵的特点,故E项“泰姬陵在满月光线的照耀下最美丽”符合语境。
39.B 设空处前文讲到花园内的所有东西都被精心地布置成四个一组。后文也提到花园分为四个部分。故B项“4在伊斯兰教是个特殊的数字”承上启下,符合语境。
40.D 根据设空处前文“数百年过去了,泰姬陵仍然是一个美丽而宁静的地方”,结合该空处于最后一段的段尾可推断,这是对泰姬陵的总结概括。故D项“这个美丽的建筑真是全人类的瑰宝”符合语境。
第三部分 语言运用
第一节
◎语篇解读 本文是一篇记叙文,主要介绍了作者乘坐自己参与建设的青藏铁路时的感受,并回顾了建设铁路时的种种困难和对生态环境的保护。
41.B 根据最后一段中的“we built our ‘impossible’ railway”可推断,作者不敢相信自己将在许多外国专家声称(claimed)“不可能(建成)”的铁路上旅行。故选B。
42.B 此处指铁路像巨龙一样在群山之中蜿蜒(winding)。故选B。
43.D 根据“Taking years to complete”以及“the most difficult engineering challenges”可知,这里指克服(overcome)挑战,故选D。
44.B 根据第四段可知,修建铁路时,人们做了大量的工作去保护当地的生态系统。结合选项可推断铁路所经之地的生态系统很脆弱(delicate),故选B。
45.A 根据下文作者对保护生态系统的工作的叙述可知,因为生态系统很脆弱,所以保护脆弱的生态系统是最重要的事(concerns),故选A。
46.B 固定搭配at leisure意为“悠闲地”,这里指“一群藏羚羊正在桥下走动,有的停下来悠闲地吃草”。故选B。
47.A 根据上文可知建铁路时要保护生态环境,因此修建通道是为了使动物能在自然栖息地(habitat)自由安全地通行。故选A。
48.D 根据上文可知,野生动物已经安全自由地使用这些通道很多年了。由此可推断,它们并未受到火车的影响,因此“它们似乎完全没有意识到(unaware)我们正以每小时一百多千米的速度呼啸而过”符合语境。故选D。
49.C 根据上文“wetlands and grasslands”可知,迁移湿地是为了保护它截然不同的生态系统。故选C。
50.A 句意:旅程飞逝而过,还没等我反应过来,我们就已经到达了唐古拉站。before引导时间状语从句时,表示“在……之前;还未……就……”。故选A。
51.B 固定搭配be located at/in/on...意为“位于……”,表方位。此处是非谓语动词结构作地点状语,故选B。
52.C 句意:为了确保我们保持健康,建造(constructed)了一些制氧站。故选C。
53.A 根据“and achievement”可知,这里指作者坐火车经过措那湖时,因青藏铁路这一伟大成就产生的感觉,故“自豪”符合语境。a sense of pride and achievement表示“一种自豪感和成就感”。
54.B 句意:几个世纪以来,青藏高原一直引人赞叹(admiration)。故选B。
55.D 句意:如今,由于(thanks to)我们的努力,来自全国各地的旅客都能观赏到这些神奇的景观。故选D。
第二节
◎语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了著名的苏州园林。
56.cities 考查名词复数。“one of the+形容词最高级+名词复数”表示“最……的……之一”,故填cities。
57.elegance 考查名词。句意:苏州是中国最具吸引力的城市之一,拥有众多古典园林,以优雅和精致为特色。and连接两个并列的成分作宾语,故设空处填名词elegance“优雅”,是不可数名词。
58.which 考查定语从句。句意:苏州目前有六十多个保存完好的园林,其中9个已被列为联合国教科文组织世界遗产。分析句子可知,nine of 58 引导定语从句,修饰more than 60 well-preserved gardens,指物,设空处作介词of的宾语,故填which。
59.its 考查代词。句意:明清时期,苏州园林艺术达到了鼎盛时期。修饰名词用形容词性物主代词,故填its。
60.were designed 考查时态、语态和主谓一致。句意:古典园林的设计是为了在微缩模型中重现自然景观,因为设计师想在有限的空间内容纳丰富的景象。分析句子可知,设空处在句中作谓语,主语gardens为复数且与design是被动关系,由because从句中的intended可知,这里用一般过去时,故填were designed。
61.limited 考查形容词。修饰名词space应用形容词作定语,limited space意为“有限的空间”,故填limited。
62.to create 考查不定式。句意:岩石和树木等东西的迷你版本被汇集在一起,在最狭小的角落创造出令人印象深刻的景观。根据句意可知,设空处用不定式作目的状语,故填to create。
63.originally 考查副词。分析句子可知,设空处在句中作状语,应用副词,故填originally。
64.a 考查冠词。句意:它最初是由明代的一个学者兼大臣王献臣建造的。根据句意可知,此处泛指“一个学者兼大臣”,用不定冠词修饰,且scholar的发音以辅音音素开头,故填a。
65.and 考查连词。句意:作为一个道教信徒,他尊重自然,享受与自然的和谐关系。根据句意可知,设空处前面的respected nature 与后面的 enjoyed the harmonious relationship with nature是并列关系,故用连词and。
第四部分 写作
第一节
One possible version:
Dear Noah,
I'm really glad that you take great interest in ancient Chinese architecture.
Thousands of ancient buildings have survived from China's history. However, there is no better place to visit than the Forbidden City in Beijing. It served as the royal palace for centuries. Summer is a good time for traveling, so shall we go there on August 1 I believe you'll have a better experience if you know its history. You'd better do some research online, which is of great benefit to you.
Please let me know if you need further information.
Yours,
Li Hua
第二节
One possible version:
My husband suddenly spotted a small building on a hill in the distance. In no time we found ourselves heading for it. We were filled with hope and excitement to find such a building. We climbed up the hill at a swinging pace as if all the pains were gone. As we approached, a sign came into sight, which read:Administration Office. However, it was not open for business. The empty hall made us nervous all at once. We stood there hopelessly, wondering what to do next.
Just then,a friendly woman appeared,saying,“Hello.” I could barely hold back my enthusiasm and blurted, “We're lost!” She comforted us and provided a room for us to take a break. Seeing we were cold and hungry, she treated us to hot chocolate. After studying the map, we figured out that our car was parked over three kilometers away. She offered us a ride back to our car and we accepted gladly. I felt relieved to see our rental car again. What a blessing it was to have such an unforgettable experience!
