二、阅读理解
Some of the World Heritage Sites have been attracting tourists for hundreds of years and are as fascinating now as they were when they were first uncovered.
Cappadocia, Turkey
Designated a World Heritage Site in 1985, Cappadocia is a place of flowing rock formations and stone-capped chimneys. Consider taking one of the many hiking trails to get up close. Nearby, in the village of Uchisar are the ancient cave homes built by the people of the Bronze Age.
Borobudur, Indonesia
Borobudur is one of Indonesia’s most famous landmarks, included in the list of World Heritage Sites in 1991. Located on the island of Java, this massive temple complex was constructed in the 700s, but two to three hundred years later, it was abandoned, possibly due to volcanic eruptions in the area, and went relatively undisturbed for centuries. The site was uncovered in the 1800s and later restored.
Mesa Verde, U. S. A．
Mesa Verde is home to some of the most well-preserved Indian ruins in North America. It has been on the list of World Heritage Sites since 1978. The most impressive sites are the cliff dwellings (住所), where the Ancestral Puebloans lived between the 12th century and the late 13th century. You can drive up to the top of the mesa to see pit houses and other ruins.
Petra, Jordan
Inscribed into the list of World Heritage Sites in 1985, this ancient capital city of the Nabataeans is a stone city with dwellings carved into sandstone walls. It has roots that trace back to as early as the 4th or 5th century B．C． Discovered in the early 1800s, it has been referred to as “the rose city” for the color of the rock. Situated in a mountainous area with limited access, it historically held a strategic position on the trade route in the region. Today, Petra is the most important tourist attraction in Jordan.
21．What can we learn from Borobudur, Indonesia
A．It is one of the most famous landmarks in the Middle East.
B．It was rebuilt due to a serious natural disaster.
C．It once remained untouched for hundreds of years.
D．It has been discovered for more than three hundred years.
22．What does Cappadocia and Petra have in common
A．They are the most famous landmarks in their own country.
B．They both have had volcanic eruptions.
C．They are the most important tourist attractions in the world.
D．They were included in the list of World Heritage Sites in 1985.
23．In which part of a newspaper can you read the passage
A．Travel. B．Sports. C．Literature. D．Health.
When students and parents are asked to rate subjects according to their importance, the arts are unavoidably at the bottom of the list. Music is nice, people seem to say, but not important. Too often it is viewed as me re entertainment (娱乐), but certainly not an education priority (优先). This view is shortsighted. In fact, music education is beneficial and important for all students.
Music tells us who we are. Because music is an expression of the beings who create it, it reflects their thinking and values, as well as the social environment it came from. Rock music represents a lifestyle just as surely as a Schubert song. The jazz influence that George Gershwin and other musicians introduced into their music is obviously American because it came from American musical traditions. Music expresses our character and values. It gives us identity as a society.
Music provides a kind of perception (感知) that cannot be acquired in any other way. Science can explain how the sun rises and sets. The arts explore the emotional meaning of the same phenomenon. We need every possible way to discover and respond to our world for one simple but powerful reason: No one way can get it all. The arts are forms of thought as powerful in what they communicate as mathematical and scientific symbols. They are ways we human beings “talk” to each other. They are the language of civilization through which we express our fears, our curiosities, our hungers, our discoveries, and our hopes. The arts are ways we give form to our ideas and imagination so that they can be shared with others. When we do not give children access to an important way of expressing themselves such as music, we take away from them the meanings that music expresses.
Science and technology do not tell us what it means to be human. The arts do. Music is an important way we express human suffering, celebration, the meaning and value of peace and love. So music education is far more necessary than people seem to realize.
24．What is the function of the first paragraph
A．To share a student’s experience. B．To lead into the topic.
C．To describe a new study. D．To introduce some ways of entertainment.
25．In Paragraph 2, the author uses jazz as an example to ______.
A．compare it with rock music B．introduce American musical traditions
C．show music reflects a society D．prove music is as useful as other subjects
26．What do we know about the arts and science according to the passage
A．They explain what it means to be human differently.
B．They explore different phenomena of the world.
C．They express people’s feelings in different ways.
D．They approach the world from different points of view.
27．What is the author’s attitude to the influence of music education on students
A．Unknown. B．Positive. C．Negative. D．Doubtful.
Cuckoos (杜鹃) are a well-known and much-loved species in the UK. They are a call of summer, travelling all the way from their wintering ground in Africa to breed on islands in the UK. Unfortunately, cuckoos are facing a dramatic decline in the UK. Since 1995, their breeding population has decreased by 35%. Why this decline is occurring is something researchers at the British Trust for Ornithology (鸟类学) are trying to find out, and they are using some high-tech equipment to do so.
Researchers have been attaching satellite tags (标签) to cuckoos, which transmit real-time location data. This data reveals how long cuckoo s spend in the UK, when they leave, and which migration routes they take between the UK and Africa.
The hope is that this data will give scientists a detailed understanding of cuckoo migration, the threats they face along the way, and the conservation measures that could be adopted to improve their chances of survival.
The tags have already revealed many insights into cuckoo migration. It’s hoped that as data keeps coming in, scientists will better understand the factors that influence whether cuckoo s survive their migration, and therefore the best ways to help protect the species.
It’s not just the scientists who have been eagerly tracking the tagged birds, though. The tags provide live location data which is published on an online map. Members of the public can therefore watch the cuckoos’ incredible journeys, too, and if you click on the individuals on the map, you can find out more about each bird.
“This ongoing project opens a significant window on the wonders of migration, and our discoveries are helping to shape the way we look at bird migration more widely,” says lead scientist on the project, Dr. Chris Hewson. “It will also lay a foundation (基础) from which cuckoo conservation measures can be planned , increasing the likelihood that the call of these birds will grace our summers for generations to come.”
28．What are researchers at the British Trust for Ornithology trying to find out
A．Why there are fewer and fewer cuckoos. B．What happened to cuckoos’ habitat.
C．How to make an online map for Africa. D．Where to look for new species.
29．How can the public take part in the cuckoo tracking project according to the passage
A．By contributing funds to the research. B．By participating in bird watching tours.
C．By observing the birds in their natural habitat. D．By following the live location data online.
30．What does Dr. Chris Hewson think of the project
A．It inspires the public’s passion for technology.
B．It shows the exact population of cuckoos in the UK.
C．It lays a foundation for the species’ conservation.
D．It will help cuckoo s choose a safer migration route.
31．Which of the following can be the best title for the passage
A．Cuckoos’ Migration Routes B．Tracking Cuckoos’ Journeys
C．Decline of New Species in the UK D．Conservation Measures for Birds
The European Space Agency (ESA) recently started a new project — Proba-3. In the project, two satellites were sent into space to perform tasks that include simulating a total solar eclipse (日食).
The two satellites are set to separate and fly 150 meters apart in about a month when they reach their target area high above the Earth. The ESA explains the project is designed to examine how well the two satellites can travel together in a fixed position while maintaining their effective flight performance.
In one experiment, the two satellites will carry out a series of virtual total solar eclipses. One satellite will block the sun to produce a shadow (阴影), allowing the other to observe solar activity. The goal of this operation is to give scientists the chance to study the sun’s outside atmosphere, known as the corona (日冕). The corona is difficult to observe because of the brightness of the sun.
Scientists have repeatedly tried to study this part of the sun from observations on the Earth during real total solar eclipses. But those eclipses do not happen often and usually only last up to five minutes. The ESA plans to carry out total eclipses at least twice a week, with each lasting up to six hours .Scientists are especially happy about that as repeated studies of the corona can help provide new information about how solar activity influences the Earth.
The ESA said in a statement, “Proba-3 is very different because our satellites will be flying just one and a half football fields away from each other during the active flying.” Proba-3 will aim for at least 1,000 hours of “on demand” flight during its two-year operation. Once the task is completed, both satellite s will continually drop lower until they burn up in the atmosphere. Officials said that would likely happen within five years.
The ESA has said other circling flights of Proba-3, besides the eclipse experiments, will be carried out to test a series of exact formation flying to help support future tasks.
32．What does the underlined word “simulating” in Paragraph 1 mean
A．Lacking. B．Lecturing. C．Creating. D．Electing.
33．What does Paragraph 3 focus on
A．Some experiments to test the two satellites.
B．The best position to observe the corona.
C．Why scientists observe solar activities.
D．How the two satellites will finish an experiment.
34．What does the passage say about real total solar eclipses
A．They occur in certain regions.
B．They leave limited time for observing the corona.
C．They require advanced technology to discover.
D．They are caused by satellites blocking the sun.
35．What will happen to the two satellites at last according to the passage
A．They will burn up. B．They will be improved.
C．They will perform other tasks. D．They will stay in the space station.
I keep a list of things that are underappreciated, and in the sports category, one stands above all others: Ping-Pong. Studies have shown that it requires rapid-fire decision-making that activates diverse regions of the brain and increases blood flow. 36 But what truly sets Ping-Pong apart is its openness to all people.
37 Age and physical condition matter little. Instead, individuals of different fitness levels can compete equally in this activity. Whether you’re young or old, tall or short, slim or not-so-slim, everyone has a shot at glory. 38
For another thing, perhaps no sport has lower cost to participate in. If you can’t find a Ping-Pong bat in your storage room, an acceptably good one can be bought for about $20, or a set of four, with net and balls thrown in, for less than $50. 39 In a difficult situation, you don’t even need a table. One of China’s first great players sharpened his skills on the front door of his family’s home, which he would take off the door every morning and replace at the end of the day.
Ping-Pong is an open and easy-to-start activity that benefits players both physically and mentally. 40 Why not give it a go and discover the potential in table tennis for yourself
A．The game can be played on any table of reasonable size.
B．First of all, we can enjoy great benefits from playing sports.
C．For one thing, the game is an equal-opportunity activity.
D．With simple equipment and rules, it is a hidden treasure for personal and community well-being.
E．For example, a legendary American player was winning medals at national championships in his second decade, as well as his seventh.
F．Ping-Pong is not just a hobby but a good way to experience life for her.
G．It also helps relieve depression and slow down dementia (痴呆).

67．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。
An old man rode his tricycle (三轮脚踏车) along the street in a busy city. His face was full of the lines of time. His hands held the handlebars with care. He was returning home from the market, and his tricycle was filled with fresh produce.
When he was wondering how much he could sell the produce for, he got distracted (思想不集中的) and the tricycle hit a car which was parked by the roadside. The old man's heart sank as he surveyed the long scratch (划痕) damaging the new paintwork of the expensive car. He stood there with worry and regret on his face. He knew the value of such a car and the potential cost of the damage. "I can't afford this," he whispered to himself sadly.
Just then, a stranger named Jack approached the old man. Jack, dressed in a sharp suit, looked at the scene and immediately realized the situation. "The paintwork is damaged. Can you afford to pay for the damage " he asked gently. The old man shook his head and looked down. "No, I can't," he replied.
Jack looked around and spoke in a low tone. "If you can't afford it, why don't you leave Do you wait for the owner to come " It was more of a suggestion than a question. A small smile appeared on Jack's mouth.
The old man hesitated, torn between his sense of responsibility and the practicality of the stranger's advice. After a moment of internal struggle, he made his decision. He pulled an old plastic bag out of his pocket. He put all the money inside, which was less than twenty dollars, under the wiper (雨刷) of the car. Then, he felt the scratch on the car with his hands. With one last look at the damaged car, he began to push his tricycle away, glancing back every few steps.
注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右；2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Jack took out a car key, opened the door and got into the damaged car after the old man went away.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Jack pulled over, just right in front of the old man's tricycle, and got out of his car.

21．C 22．D 23．A
【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了四处被列入世界遗产名录的景点，包括其地理位置、成为世界遗产的时间、特色以及相关历史等信息。
21．细节理解题。根据Borobudur, Indonesia部分“Located on the island of Java, this massive temple complex was constructed in the 700s, but two to three hundred years later, it was abandoned, possibly due to volcanic eruptions in the area, and went relatively undisturbed for centuries. The site was uncovered in the 1800s and later restored.(位于爪哇岛，这座巨大的寺庙建筑群建于公元700年，但两三百年后，可能是由于该地区的火山爆发，它被遗弃了，几个世纪以来一直相对未受干扰。该遗址于19世纪被发现，后来被修复)”可知，它曾经有数百年无人触碰。故选C。
22．细节理解题。根据Cappadocia, Turkey部分“Designated a World Heritage Site in 1985, Cappadocia is a place of flowing rock formations and stone-capped chimneys. (卡帕多西亚在1985年被指定为世界遗产，这里有流动的岩层和石头顶的烟囱)”以及Petra, Jordan部分“Inscribed into the list of World Heritage Sites in 1985, this ancient capital city of the Nabataeans is a stone city with dwellings carved into sandstone walls. (这座纳巴泰王朝的古都于1985年被列入世界遗产名录，是一座石头城市，其住宅雕刻在砂岩墙上)”可知，卡帕多西亚和佩特拉的共同之处是它们都在1985年被列入世界遗产名录。故选D。
23．推理判断题。根据第一段“Some of the World Heritage Sites have been attracting tourists for hundreds of years and are as fascinating now as they were when they were first uncovered. (一些世界遗产数百年来一直吸引着游客，现在它们和最初被发现时一样迷人)”以及详细介绍的Cappadocia, Turkey、Borobudur, Indonesia、Mesa Verde, U. S. A.、Petra, Jordan四处世界遗产的相关信息，包括其地理位置、成为世界遗产的时间、特色以及相关历史等，这些内容都与旅游紧密相关。报纸中旅游版块通常会刊登各类旅游景点介绍、旅游攻略等相关内容，所以可以在报纸的旅游版块读到这篇文章。故选A。
24．B 25．C 26．D 27．B
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章开篇指出在学生和家长对学科的排名中艺术常居末位，音乐被视为娱乐而非教育重点这一错误观点，随后从多个方面阐述音乐教育对学生至关重要且益处多多，有力反驳了开篇的短视看法。
24．推理判断题。根据第一段“When students and parents are asked to rate subjects according to their importance, the arts are unavoidably at the bottom of the list. Music is nice, people seem to say, but not important. Too often it is viewed as mere entertainment (娱乐), but certainly not an education priority (优先). This view is shortsighted. (当学生和家长被要求根据重要性对学科进行排名时，艺术不可避免地排在最后。人们似乎会说，音乐不错，但并不重要。它常常被视为纯粹的娱乐，但肯定不是教育的优先事项。这种观点是短视的)”可知，作者先陈述了人们对音乐不重视这一现象，接着表明这种观点短视，由此引出下文对音乐重要性的论述。所以第一段的功能是引出话题。故选B。
25．推理判断题。根据第二段“Music tells us who we are. Because music is an expression of the beings who create it, it reflects their thinking and values, as well as the social environment it came from. Rock music represents a lifestyle just as surely as a Schubert song. The jazz influence that George Gershwin and other musicians introduced into their music is obviously American because it came from American musical traditions. Music expresses our character and values. It gives us identity as a society. (音乐告诉我们我们是谁。因为音乐是创造它的人的一种表达，它反映了他们的思想和价值观，以及它所来自的社会环境。摇滚乐就像舒伯特的歌曲一样，代表了一种生活方式。乔治·格什温和其他音乐家将爵士乐的影响引入他们的音乐中，这种影响显然是美国的，因为它来自美国的音乐传统。音乐表达了我们的性格和价值观。它赋予我们社会身份)”可知，第二段主要论述音乐反映了社会，接着以爵士乐为例，进一步说明了音乐反映了社会。故选C。
26．推理判断题。根据第三段中“Science can explain how the sun rises and sets. The arts explore the emotional meaning of the same phenomenon. We need every possible way to discover and respond to our world for one simple but powerful reason: No one way can get it all. The arts are forms of thought as powerful in what they communicate as mathematical and scientific symbols. (科学可以解释太阳是如何升起和落下的。艺术探索同一现象的情感意义。我们需要用一切可能的方式去发现和回应我们的世界，原因很简单但很有力：没有一种方式能涵盖一切。艺术是一种思想形式，它在传达信息方面与数学和科学符号一样强大)”可知，科学和艺术从不同的角度去探索和回应世界，因此体现了它们从不同角度看待世界。故选D。
27．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Music is an important way we express human suffering, celebration, the meaning and value of peace and love. So music education is far more necessary than people seem to realize.”(音乐是我们表达人类苦难、庆祝、和平与爱的意义和价值的重要方式。所以音乐教育比人们意识到的要重要得多)”可知，作者认为音乐教育非常重要，对音乐教育对学生的影响持积极态度。故选B。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了英国鸟类学信托基金的研究人员正在研究杜鹃数量急剧下降的原因，他们通过给杜鹃安装卫星标签来追踪其迁徙情况，同时公众也能通过网络参与追踪项目，该项目为杜鹃物种的保护奠定了基础。
28．细节理解题。根据第一段中“Unfortunately, cuckoos are facing a dramatic decline in the UK. Since 1995, their breeding population has decreased by 35%. Why this decline is occurring is something researchers at the British Trust for Ornithology (鸟类学) are trying to find out, and they are using some high-tech equipment to do so. (不幸的是，杜鹃在英国的数量急剧下降。自1995年以来，它们的繁殖种群数量减少了35%。英国鸟类学信托基金的研究人员正在试图找出这种下降的原因)”可知，英国鸟类学信托基金的研究人员正在试图找出为什么杜鹃越来越少。故选A。
29．细节理解题。根据第五段中“The tags provide live location data which is published on an online map. Members of the public can therefore watch the cuckoos’ incredible journeys, too, and if you click on the individuals on the map, you can find out more about each bird. (这些标签提供实时位置数据，并发布在在线地图上。因此，公众也可以观看杜鹃不可思议的旅程，如果你点击地图上的个体，你可以了解更多关于每只鸟的信息)”可知，公众可以通过在线跟踪实时位置数据来参与杜鹃追踪项目。故选D。
30．细节理解题。根据最后一段中“It will also lay a foundation (基础) from which cuckoo conservation measures can be planned, increasing the likelihood that the call of these birds will grace our summers for generations to come. (它还将为制定杜鹃保护措施奠定基础，增加这些鸟的叫声在未来几代人的夏天都能听到的可能性)”可知，克里斯·休森博士认为该项目为物种保护奠定了基础。故选C。
31．主旨大意题。根据第一段中“Unfortunately, cuckoos are facing a dramatic decline in the UK. Since 1995, their breeding population has decreased by 35%. Why this decline is occurring is something researchers at the British Trust for Ornithology (鸟类学) are trying to find out, and they are using some high-tech equipment to do so. (不幸的是，杜鹃在英国的数量急剧下降。自1995年以来，它们的繁殖种群数量减少了35%。英国鸟类学信托基金的研究人员正在试图找出这种下降的原因，他们正在使用一些高科技设备来做到这一点)”以及下文内容可知，文章主要介绍了英国鸟类学信托基金的研究人员正在研究杜鹃数量急剧下降的原因，他们通过给杜鹃安装卫星标签来追踪其迁徙情况，同时公众也能通过网络参与追踪项目，该项目为杜鹃物种的保护奠定了基础。由此可知，B选项“追踪杜鹃的旅程”最符合文章标题。故选B。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了欧洲航天局启动的Proba-3项目，包括发射两颗卫星进行模拟日食等任务，以及该项目的相关实验、对真实日食的对比和卫星的最终结局等内容。
32．词句猜测题。根据第一段中“In the project, two satellites were sent into space to perform tasks that include simulating a total solar eclipse (日食). (在该项目中，两颗卫星被送入太空执行包括simulating日全食的任务)”以及第三段中“In one experiment, the two satellites will carry out a series of virtual total solar eclipses. One satellite will block the sun to produce a shadow (阴影), allowing the other to observe solar activity. The goal of this operation is to give scientists the chance to study the sun’s outside atmosphere, known as the corona (日冕). (在一个实验中，两颗卫星将进行一系列虚拟日全食实验。一颗卫星将遮挡太阳产生阴影，使另一颗卫星能够观测太阳活动。这个操作的目的是让科学家有机会研究太阳的外层大气，即日冕)”可知，两颗卫星是要创造出类似日食时太阳被遮挡、产生阴影供观测的场景。creating有“创造、产生”的意思，符合两颗卫星通过特定操作创造出类似日食场景的含义。所以“simulating”意思是“创造”。故选C。
33．主旨大意题。根据第三段中“In one experiment, the two satellites will carry out a series of virtual total solar eclipses. One satellite will block the sun to produce a shadow (阴影), allowing the other to observe solar activity. The goal of this operation is to give scientists the chance to study the sun’s outside atmosphere, known as the corona (日冕). (在一个实验中，两颗卫星将进行一系列虚拟日全食实验。一颗卫星将遮挡太阳产生阴影，使另一颗卫星能够观测太阳活动。这个操作的目的是让科学家有机会研究太阳的外层大气，即日冕)”可知，第三段主要讲述了两颗卫星将如何完成一个实验。故选D。
34．细节理解题。根据第四段中“Scientists have repeatedly tried to study this part of the sun from observations on the Earth during real total solar eclipses. But those eclipses do not happen often and usually only last up to five minutes. (科学家们多次尝试在真实的日全食期间从地球上的观测来研究太阳的这一部分。但这些日食并不经常发生，通常只持续五分钟)”可知，真实的日全食留给观测日冕的时间有限。故选B。
35．细节理解题。根据第五段“Once the task is completed, both satellites will continually drop lower until they burn up in the atmosphere.(一旦任务完成，两颗卫星将持续下降，直到在大气层中燃烧殆尽)”可知，最后两颗卫星会燃烧殆尽。故选A。

Dear Tom,
I know you’re interested in Chinese culture, so I’m writing to tell you about a fantastic event in our school.
Last Saturday, a celebration themed “Cultural Inheritance, Charming Festivals” was held in our school hall. All the students and their parents were warmly welcomed to join. There were various performances like lion dances and traditional music shows. Also, students’ handicrafts about festivals were on display.
I really enjoyed the event. It not only let us experience the fun of festivals but also made us more aware of the importance of cultural heritage. I’m sure you’d love it too!
Best wishes!
Yours,
Li Hua
67．Jack took out a car key, opened the door and got into the damaged car after the old man went away. Jack sat in the seat, silent for a moment before remembering all the money under the wiper. He knew it was the old man's hard-earned money from a day's work. So he wanted to return the money to him. Then he started the car and drove in the direction the old man had left. Within a few minutes, he caught up with the old man.
Jack pulled over, just right in front of the old man's tricycle, and got out of his car. The old man recognized him and stopped. The old man was shocked as he saw that the car in front of him was the one he had hit. Jack walked towards the old man and said, “I am actually the owner of this car. Your sincerity and sense of responsibility have infected me. I must return the money to you. You have left a heavier mark on my heart than the scratch on the car.” After saying that, Jack put the money on the old man's tricycle and drove away.
