A（2018云南师范大学附属中学高三月考）
Vast deserts, magic carpets, and the legend of Aladdin’s lamp. For most Chinese people, Saudi Arabia is a faraway land that exists only in bedtime stories.
However, connections between the two countries date back to ancient times. The economic and cultural ties between the Tang Dynasty (AD 618--907) and Arabian Empire reached their height in the 9th century. Paper-making workshops did thrive in what is now Saudi Arabia while Arabian knowledge of math, astronomy and medicine spread to the Middle Kingdom.
These exchanges, recorded by Arab merchants sailing along the ancient Maritime Silk Road, became materials for folk stories,such as the One Thousand and One Nights stories.
Fast forward a millennium(干年)，the relationship between a modem Saudi Arabia and a progressive China has entered a new era, thanks to the Belt and Road Initiative proposed by Chinese President Xi Jinping in 2013.
“Saudi Arabia is one of the first countries that responded positively to the Belt and Road Initiative," Saudi Ambassador to China Gurki Mohanmed told Xinhua.
“In terms of strategic location, Saudi Arabia serves 8the central hub connecting Asia, Africa and Europe,making it an important part of the initiative ，”he added.

In 2015，China became Saudi Arabia's largest trade partner while Saudi Arabia has been China's biggest crude oil supplier next to Russia and largest trade partner in West Asia and Africa for years.
Xu Mengmeng is now completing his graduation project on marine science at the King Abdul lah University Science and Technology in Saudi Arabia. On weekdays,works on his research project on sharks. When free,he tours the city to experience the local culture.
Now China has become a favorite choice of Arab students expecting to study overseas. Momudouh from Saudi Arabia came to Xi'an to study marketing in 2010. He told Xi'an Daily that he was attracted by the fast trade opportunities between the two countries. He desired to bring back the so-called new four inventions back to his home country- high-speed rail, Alipay, bicycle sharing an online shopping.

B (2018湖北襄阳第四中学高-月考)
Getting rid of dirt( 灰尘)，in the opinion of most people, is a good thing. However, there is nothing fixed about attitudes to dirt.
In the early 16th century, people thought that dint on the skin was a way to block out disease，as medical opinion had it that washing off dirt with hot water could open up the skin and let ills in. A particular danger was thought to lie in public baths. By 1538, the French king had closed the bath houses in his kingdom. So did the king of England in 1546.Thus it began a long time when the rich and the poor in Europe lived with dirt in a friendly way. Henry IV, King of France, was famously dirty. Upon learning that a nobleman had taken a bath, the king ordered that, to avoid the attack of disease, the nobleman should not go out.
Though the belief in the merits of dirt was long-lived,dirt has no longer been regarded as a nice neighbor ever since the 18th century. Scientifically speaking, cleaning away dirt is good to health. Clean water supply and hand washing are practical means of preventing disease Yet, it seems that standards of cleanliness have moved beyond science since World War II. Advertisements repeatedly sell the idea: clothes need to be whiter than white, cloths ever softer, surfaces to shine. Has the hate for dirt, however, gone too far?
Attitudes to dirt still differ hugely nowadays. Many first-time parents nervously try to warn children off touching dirt, which might be responsible for the spread of disease.On the contrary, Mary Ruebush, an American immunologist (免疫学家)，encourages children to play in the dirt to build up a strong immune system. And the latter position is gaining some ground.
The kings of France and England in the 16th century closed bath houses because_____________________
A.they lived healthily in a dirty environment
B.they thought bath houses were too dirty to stay in
C.they believed disease could be spread in public baths
D. They considered bathing as the cause of skin disease
6. Which of the following best describes Henry IV’s attitude to bathing?
A.Approving.
B.Afraid.
C.Curious.
D.Uninterested.
7. What is the author's purpose of writing the passage?
A.To present the changes of views on dirt.
B.To stress the role of dirt.
C.To call attention to the danger of dirt.
D.To introduce the history of dirt.

C (2018辽宁鞍山第一中学高二下学期期中)
Researchers are tying to figure out exactly when a where a lizard got tapped in the sap(汁、液) of a tree. Over time, the tree sap turned into amber (琥珀)preserving the lizard's mains, which a man discovered an donated to the Miller Museum of Geology at Queen University. But the man didn't report the amber’s age and where he got it.
“The man who donated it died, unfortunately," Said Ellen Handyside, an undergraduate student at Queen University. “We are really starting from scratch determining its history." Ellen Handyide is leading the research into the amber-surrounded lizard. She and her colleagues analyzed the chemical composition of the 4.7- inch-long piece of amber and learned some facts. “The amber was not actually artificial,”she told Live Science, “and we found that it did match up quite well to an amber sample.”
The researchers analyzed the amber's carbon a isotopes(同位素) and the results indicated that the amber was formed from the sap of a flowering tree. Moreover,the results suggested that the tree and the lizard ,for that matter, lived in an area with a lot of rainfall an dated from the Neogene, a period that lasted from the end the Paleogene Period 23. 03 million years ago to the beginning of the present Quatemary Period. Next, the scientific team realized that the 2. 7-inch-long lizard was likely a gecko(壁虎)，according to a detailed, 3D, digital model of the animal's body that the researchers created through X-ray microscopy scans.
“We looked at the skull- the teeth were in place and the ear bones were there too, And we've even got some flesh, skin and its long toes," Handyside said. “It's fantastic!" She said she hoped that they could figure out how the creature ft into the gecko family tee. “When you think of a gecko, you think of short and fat toes and sticky pads. That isn't what we're looking at, but it's more likely to live in trees. If it were a tree-living creature, then its death actually could make more sense," Handyside said.
What can probably be inferred about the amber?
It was obtained by a museum at a low price.
Its original owner knew nothing about it.
It was found to be a unique type of amber.
lts donor didn't say much about its history.
What can we learn from Handyside's words?
A. The lizard's death was caused by a gecko.
B. The lizard has fat and short toes. C.The lizard is preserved very well.
D.The lizard belongs to the tree-living creature.
10. What does the author mainly tell us in this passage?
A.The discovery of a piece of natural amber.
B.The mystery about a piece of amber.
C.The research into a piece of amber.
D.The meaningful death of a lizard.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。(2018河南豫南九校下学期联考)
China has been the birthplace of many of the world's greatest inventions. It was, for example, the first country to produce paper money. Before the invention of paper money and coins, people used many different kinds of things for buying and selling. 11 This exchange of goods and services for other goods and services is called bartering.
12 In 1200 BC, people in China began to use shells(贝壳) as money. Usually the shells used as money were very small. This made it easier for people to carry money over long distances, and allowed for trade to develop between different parts of the country.
In the years which followed this invention, many other countries around the world began to do the same. 13
The next development was in 1000 BC, when China started making bronze and copper shells. It wasn't long before the Chinese made round coins out of metal. 14 By 500 BC, metal coins had begun to appear in countries like Persia and Greece, and later in the Roman Empire.
About 1000 years later, leather was used as money in China, and in 8066AD, the first paper banknotes were produced by the Chinese people. 15
People also began collecting foreign coins as souvenirs
However, as economies developed, such exchanges became impractical.
It was still many years before paper currency appeared in Europe.
They also used tiny shells as money for buying and selling.
As time went by, trade between countries increased.
During that time, for example, buying a chicken might cost several potatoes.
The very first coins often had holes in them so that people could string them together.
