阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中, 选出最佳选项。并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。
A
Poetry is never far away from our daily lives. Many of us grew up reciting classic poems from textbooks, learning to appreciate this beautiful art form that’s able to use just a few lines to convey such rich meanings. To recognize the unique ability of poetry to capture the creative spirit of the human mind, World Poetry Day is held by the United Nations on March 21 each year. One of the main goals of the day, according to the UN, is to support linguistic (语言的) diversity through poetic expression. Chinese poetry has a long history that dates back to the Western Zhou dynasty. It peaked during the Tang and Song dynasties. Even today, classic poems are still loved by a lot of people. And even TV series featuring classic poetry are hugely popular. For example, in the 2011 hit period drama, Empresses in the Palace, also known as The Legend of Zhenhuan, classic poems recited by the show’s characters are often quoted by internet users. One of the drama’s most moving songs was adapted from a verse (韵文) written by Wen Tingyun of the Tang dynasty. On the surface, the verse “displays a daily scenario (场景) of a solitary (独居的) woman; but underneath, the poetry expresses the dejection (沮丧) of an underappreciated and undervalued scholar,” Peng Yuping, a scholar at Sun Yat-sen University, told China Radio International. Meanwhile, the TV show Chinese Poetry Competition, which features classic works from famous Chinese poets, is also a big success. “In poetry, I’ve found echoes of human emotions, including happiness, anger, joy and sorrow,” one of the show’s contestants, Bai Ruyun, told CCTV. “When I read ancient texts, I feel I reach the depths of these poems and find the real meanings of them.” As an intellectual testament to the richness of Chinese civilization, classic poetry has become an important way to inherit and spread traditional Chinese culture. In January, the Ministry of Education released new curriculum standards for high schools that recommend students recite 72 ancient poems or articles, up from 14. Indeed, many people believe that learning classic poems is important in today’s world. “Through the bridge of poetry, people today can resonate with (产生共鸣) the aesthetics and values of our ancestors. Their wisdom has gained new life in the modern world,” Yao Xishuang, director of the Department of Language Application and Administration under the Ministry of Education, told CCTV. 21. Why does the UN hold World Poetry Day, according to the article? A. To encourage the creation of poetry around the world. B. To bring attention to the linguistic differences in poetry. C. To build a better global community through poetry. D. To remind people of the long history of poetry. 22. What are paragraphs 4-5 mainly about? A. Poetry in our daily lives. B. Poetry in modern society. C. Poetry in a hit reality show. D. Poetry in a period drama. 23. How many more ancient poems are highs school students recommended to memorize, according to the new curriculum standards? A. 14. B. 21. C. 58. D. 72.
B It’s often said that the rise of social media has revolutionized communication. With smartphones and social networking apps, we can write to our family and friends whenever we like. But while social media has brought us convenience, it also has its problems, such as misunderstandings in communication. Quite often, people misinterpret what’s written on social media. According to a story published on The Conversation on March 8, sarcasm (讽刺), in particular, can be very difficult to spot in a written message. Sarcasm is a kind of irony (反语): It’s when we say something, but really mean the opposite. For example, a message from a friend the day before a math exam that says “I’m so looking forward to tomorrow!” is obviously sarcasm. Sarcasm before the rise of social media and mobile phones was mostly used in speech and face to face. That made sarcasm easier, because you could accompany your words with a facial gesture and a tone of voice that would help convey your message. You had a good chance of being understood and receiving a laugh or an understanding glance in response. And yet when we text or write something online, a lot of that information goes missing. “There are no facial cues (暗示), no vocal tones and maybe even a delayed response if a person can’t text you back immediately,” wrote The Conversation. “And if you don’t know the person all that well, there goes your last potential cue: history.” To help avoid misunderstandings, people who use platforms such as Twitter often include the hashtag #sarcasm – although this is like having to explain a joke when people don’t laugh at it, which destroys the point of sarcasm in the first place. And it isn’t only sarcasm that can get lost in electronic communications. It’s also hard to spot subtle emotions such as indifference. “One of the problems with digital communication, when it relies purely on text, is that this sucks the empathy (情感共鸣), the emotional expression, out of the communication. So it can lead to miscommunication,” linguist Vyv Evans, author of The Emoji Code, told USA Today. “This is where emojis come into their own. They put the body language back, so people can better read emotional intent (目的).” However, even though there are hundreds of different emojis to choose from, there’s still no replacement for good old-fashioned face-to-face communication. 24. What does a person really mean when they say, “I’m so looking forward to tomorrow!”, according to the article? A. They can’t wait to take the exam. B. They are well-prepared for the exam. C. They’re not looking forward to taking the exam at all. D. The exam might be too difficult for them. 25. What might lead to the words we write online being misunderstood, according to The Conversation? A. The use of new internet words and phrases. B. The complicated relationship between people. C. The absence of facial expressions and tones. D. Responding to other people too quickly. 26. What does Vyv Evans think is a possible way to avoid miscommunication online? A. Using emojis, as they can display body language. B. Expressing fewer personal emotions. C. Sending voice messages instead of text messages. D. Using a hashtag before making jokes. 27. What is the article mainly about? A. The conveniences of online communication. B. Some misunderstandings that come with digital communication. C. A good replacement for face-to-face communication. D. Some reasons for the popularity of emojis.
C Since English biologist Charles Darwin (1809 –1882) published On the Origin of Species in 1859, scientists have vastly improved their knowledge of natural history. However, a lot of information is still the subject of speculation, and scientists can still only make educated guesses at certain things. One subject that they guess about is why some 400 million years ago, animals in the sea developed limbs (肢) that allowed them to move onto and live on land. Recently, an idea that occurred to the US paleontologist (古生物学家) Alfred Romer a century ago became a hot topic once again. Sea animals would have been forced into these pools by strong tides. Then, they would have been made either to adapt to their new environment close to land or die. The fittest among them grew to accomplish the transition (过渡) from sea to land. Romer thought that tidal pools might have led to fish gaining limbs. Romer called these earliest four-footed animals “tetrapods” (四足动物). Science has always thought that this was a credible theory, but only recently has there been strong enough evidence to support it. Hannah Byrne is an oceanographer (海洋学家) at Uppsala University in Sweden. She announced at the 2018 Ocean Sciences Meeting in Oregon, US, on Feb 15 that by using computer software, her team had managed to link Romer’s theory to places where fossil deposits (化石沉积) of the earliest tetrapods were found. According to the magazine Science, in 2014, Steven Balbus, a scientist at the University of Oxford in the UK, calculated that 400 million years ago, when the move from land to sea was achieved, tides were stronger than they are today. This is because the planet was 10 percent closer to the moon than it is now. The creatures stranded in the pools would have been under the pressure of “survival of the fittest”, explained the UK’s University of Bangor ocean scientist Mattias Green. As he told Science: “After a few days in these pools, you become food or you run out of food … the fish that had large limbs had an advantage because they could flip (空翻) themselves back in the water”. As is often the case, however, there are others who find the theory less convincing. Cambridge University paleontologist Jennifer Clark, speaking to Nature magazine, seemed unconvinced. “It’s only one of many ideas for the origin of land-dwelling (陆地栖息的) tetrapods, any or all of which may have been a part of the answer,” she said. 28. Who first proposed the theory that fish might have gained limbs because of tidal pools? A. Charles Darwin. B. Alfred Romer. C. Hannah Byrne. D. Steven Balbus. 29. Why were tides stronger 400 million years ago than they are today according to Steven Balbus? A. Earth moved faster than it does today. B. Earth was closer to the sun than it is today. C. Earth was closer to the moon than it is today. D. Earth had larger oceans than it does today. 30. What does the underlined word “stranded” mean? A. Trapped. B. Settled. C. Survived. D. Adapted. 31. What is the focus of the article? A. The proposal of a new scientific theory. B. The arguments over a scientific theory. C. Some new evidence to support a previous theory. D. A new discovery that questions a previous theory.
D It was my first real trip as a lone traveler, and Paris was calling. I was shy and a bit scared. It took a lot of courage to leave the safety of my hotel, but I’m glad I did. I decided to stop for dinner at a cafe and was halfway through a delicious meal when I found myself surrounded by a group of people who had heard my Australian accent when I talked to a waiter. Despite me not speaking French and their English being limited, my new friends treated me to an adventure I’ll never forget. After watching them perform a show in the cafe basement, I was taken on a tour of bars and clubs, and was introduced to everyone we encountered. I can’t recall buying a drink myself – my companions were the most gracious (亲切的) and generous hosts imaginable. The next morning, my friends took me to tour the city. What followed were three wild days of parties, clubs, sightseeing and a side of Paris few tourists get to experience – a side I’d never have seen on my own. It was the beginning of my love of traveling alone. I’ve since been to India on my own where, in New Delhi, I encountered an American family heading to a wedding, where they were to meet their distant relatives for the first time. We got on so well that they insisted I join them for the celebrations, and I found myself among 800 people, cheering on a bride and groom arriving on elephants. And when I traveled alone to Japan, I hired a university student to be my tour guide. This resulted in me traveling with her to Osaka to have a traditional Sunday lunch with her family. When you travel on your own, people don’t know what job you have, where you went to school, or if you’re married or single. They just see who you are that day, and what you project as a person. I’ve discovered that you’re only as good as the people you attract, and I’m lucky enough to have caught the attention of some truly wonderful like-minded souls on my adventures; people from all corners of the world who reinforce (加强) my faith in humanity (人性). 32. How did the author feel when she first arrived in Paris? A. Scared. B. Excited. C. Expectant. D. Disappointed. 33. What can we know about the author’s experience in Paris? A. It was the first time for her to travel abroad. B. She doesn’t enjoy going to parties and clubs. C. She learned some French from her companions. D. Some locals entertained her warmly during her stay. 34. What happened when the author was in New Delhi? A. She met some locals heading to a celebration. B. She had a traditional lunch with her guide. C. She attended a local wedding with an American family. D. She experienced elephant riding with her new friends. 35. What’s the author’s main purpose of writing this article? A. To warn readers of the dangers of traveling alone. B. To give advice on how to travel by yourself. C. To share her experience of traveling alone and her reflections. D. To describe how people in different countries treat tourists.
(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出正确的填入空白处。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Riding a Mobike on the street, you might hear people speaking Chinese aloud. 36. ________________ After walking into a store, it’s possible that you’ll see Huawei smartphones for sale. This isn’t referring to China, but Manchester, UK.37. ________________ Indeed, Chinese products have gone global. 38. ________________ But to meet local people’s tastes, Chinese restaurants have made some changes to the dishes. “One example is the meat,” said Yin Hang, who is studying at the University of Wollongong in Australia. “We like to eat meat with the bone in, but people here don’t. So Chinese restaurants provide big pieces of meat without bones, even for fish.” 39. ____________ In many cities in Europe, stores sell TCL televisions, Haier fridges and Lenovo computers, reported Reuters. More than half of US-owned drones (无人机) are Chinese models, according to China Daily. They’re not simply made in China, but designed and developed in the country. In the past, most Western people thought Chinese products were cheap and unreliable. But things have changed greatly. 40. ____________ For example, Huawei, one of China’s major smartphone makers, overtook Apple in global smartphone sales for the first time in June and July last year, behind only Samsung, noted consulting (咨询) firm Counterpoint Research. “They are beautiful and offer some unique features American phones don’t have,” CNN once said about Chinese smartphones. A. Many Chinese brands are also becoming more popular. B. What is the biggest problem with many Chinese brands? C. In fact, you might see similar things in many other cities around the world. D. Turning to the right, you may see a Sichuan-style restaurant. E. Meanwhile, international brands are still enjoying great success in China. F. “Made in China” has become cool and more people trust Chinese brands. G. Chinese food has been enjoyed in Western countries for a long time.
