一、阅读理解
A
The
world
itself
is
becoming
much
smaller
by
using
modern
traffic
and
modern
communication
means
(通讯设备)
.
Life
today
is
much
easier
than
it
was
hundreds
of
years
ago,
but
it
has
brought
new
problems.
One
of
the
biggest
is
pollution.
To
pollute
means
to
make
things
dirty.
Pollution
comes
in
many
ways,
We
see
it,
smell
it,
drink
it
and
even
hear
it.
Man
has
been
polluting
the
earth.
The
more
people,
the
more
pollution.
Many
years
ago,
the
problem
was
not
so
serious
because
there
were
not
so
many
people.
When
the
land
was
used
up
or
the
river
was
dirty
in
one
place,
Man
moved
to
another
place.
But
this
is
no
longer
true.
Man
is
now
slowly
polluting
the
whole
world.
Air
pollution
is
still
the
most
serious.
It’s
bad
for
all
living
things
in
the
world,
but
it
is
not
the
only
one
kind
of
pollution.
Water
pollution
kills
our
fish
and
pollutes
our
drinking
water.
Noise
pollution
makes
us
angry
more
easily.
Many
countries
are
making
rules
to
fight
pollution.
They
stop
people
from
burning
coal
(煤)
in
houses
and
factories
in
the
city,
and
from
putting
dirty
smoke
into
the
air.
Pollution
by
SO2
is
now
the
most
dangerous
kind
of
air
pollution.
It
is
caused
by
heavy
traffic.
It
is
sure
that
if
there
are
fewer
people
driving,
there
will
be
less
air
pollution.
The
earth
is
our
home.
We
must
take
care
of
it.
That
means
keeping
the
land,
water
and
air
clean.
And
we
must
take
care
of
the
rise
in
population
(人口)
at
the
same
time.
1.
Hundreds
of
years
ago,
life
was
______
it
is
today.
A.
much
easier
than
B.
as
easy
as
C.
as
hard
as
D.
much
harder
than
2.
Our
world
is
becoming
much
smaller
______
.
A.
because
the
world
is
being
polluted
slowly
B.
thanks
to
science
and
technology
development
C.
because
of
the
rise
in
population
D.
because
the
earth
is
blown
away
by
the
wind
every
year
3.
Air
pollution
is
the
most
serious
kind
of
pollution
because
______
.
A.
it
does
bad
to
all
living
things
in
the
world
B.
it
makes
much
noise
C.
it
makes
our
rivers
and
lakes
dirty
D.
it
makes
us
angry
more
easily
4.
Which
of
the
following
is
NOT
the
possible
way
to
reduce
air
pollution?
A.
Stop
people
from
burning
coal
in
the
houses
and
factories
in
the
city.
B.
Stop
putting
dirty
smoke
into
the
air.
C.
Encourage
people
to
go
to
work
by
bike
or
on
foot
instead
of
driving
a
car.
D.
Don’t
throw
rubbish
into
the
river.
5.
Which
of
the
following
is
NOT
true?
A.
Many
countries
are
taking
actions
to
fight
pollution.
B.
The
pollution
of
the
earth
grows
as
fast
as
the
world’s
population
does.
C.
The
problem
of
pollution
isn’t
so
serious
because
there
are
not
so
many
people
living
on
the
earth.
D.
If
people
go
to
work
by
bus
or
bike
instead
of
driving
a
car,
it
will
be
helpful
in
fighting
against
the
problem
of
SO2
.
B
A
few
years
ago,
I
went
through
a
time
of
such
serious
depression
(抑郁)
that
life
didn’t
seem
worth
living.
It
was
like
always
being
in
winter,
so
icy
and
cold
that
the
sun
would
never
shine.
Then,
I
saw
green
shoots
(幼芽)
pushing
through
the
freezing
(冰冷的)
,
iron-hard
ground.
I
looked
at
them
every
day
until
I
felt
that
if
they
could
come
back
to
life,
then
so
could
I.
Those
green
shoots
gave
me
hope
in
a
way
that
nothing
else
did.
They
made
me
keep
going,
even
when
times
were
hard
and
I
wanted
to
give
up.
As
spring
came,
I
started
to
put
in
more
and
more
plants
until
my
garden
was
filled
with
color.
Life
was
growing
through
my
hands—gentle,
peaceful,
but,
above
all
optimistic
(乐观的)
.
If
I
gave
love,
it
was
returned,
even
more
than
it
was
worth.
I
watched
my
garden
grow
bigger
and
bigger.
I
could
spend
hours
lost
in
gardening.
The
form
of
depressive
illness
I
have
is
biological.
It
has
affected
(影响)
generations
of
my
family
and
follows
no
rules
or
reasons.
I
can
be
depressed
when
the
sun
is
shining
or
when
I
am
with
a
group
of
loving
friends.
Of
course,
fresh
air
and
exercise
help
to
reduce
depression,
but
for
me,
gardening
is
more
than
that.
It
stands
for
endurance
(忍耐力)
,
as
well
as
hope.
At
the
end
of
the
first
gardening
season,
I
stood
before
a
tree,
huge
and
strong.
It
lived
through
freezing
temperatures
and
strong
winds.
It
bent,
but
never
broke.
Its
leaves
dropped
until
it
looked
like
nothing
more
than
a
skeleton
(骨架)
,
but
it
always,
always
came
back
to
life.
And
so
I
learned
that
although
we
might
face
many
challenges
(挑战)
,
hope
can
help
us
get
through
them.
1.
What
made
the
writer
keep
going?
A.
Fresh
air
and
exercise.
B.
A
freezing
world
that
the
sun
never
shines
in.
C.
Green
shoots
pushing
through
cold
ground.
D.
A
tree
that
would
never
come
back
to
life.
2.
What
did
the
writer
gain
from
gardening?
A.
An
optimistic
attitude
toward
life.
B.
A
brand-new
garden
filled
with
colors.
C.
Plants
growing
gently
and
peacefully.
D.
The
main
reasons
for
her
depression.
3.
What
does
the
underlined
word
"It"
in
Paragraph
1
refer
to?
A.
Winter.
B.
Life.
C.
Sunshine.
D.
Depression.
4.
What
can
we
learn
from
this
passage?
A.
Nature
can
help
us
treat
depression.
B.
We
should
live
with
hope
when
facing
challenges.
C.
Gardening
improves
our
endurance.
D.
Warm
sunshine
can
keep
people
healthy.
C
Museums
have
changed.
They
are
no
longer
places
that
one
"should"
go
but
enjoy.
At
a
science
museum
in
Canada,
you
can
feel
your
hair
stand
on
end
as
harmless
electricity
(电流)
passes
through
your
body.
At
the
Children’s
Museum
in
New
York,
you
can
play
an
African
drum
(鼓)
.
There
are
no
"Do
Not
Touch"
signs
in
some
other
museums
in
the
USA.
More
and
more
museum
directors
have
realized
that
people
learn
best
when
they
can
become
part
of
what
they
are
seeing.
In
many
science
museums,
the
visitors
are
encouraged
to
touch,
listen,
operate
and
experiment
so
as
to
discover
scientific
rules
for
themselves.
The
purpose
is
not
only
to
provide
fun,
but
also
to
help
people
feel
at
home
in
the
world
of
science.
If
people
don’t
understand
science,
they
will
be
afraid
of
it,
and
if
they
are
afraid
of
science,
they
will
not
make
the
best
use
of
it.
One
cause
of
all
these
changes
is
the
increase
in
wealth
and
spare
time.
Another
cause
is
the
growing
number
of
young
people
in
the
population
(人口)
.
Many
of
them
are
college
students
or
college
graduates
(毕业生)
.
They
see
things
in
a
new
and
different
way.
They
want
art
that
they
can
take
part
in.
The
same
is
true
of
science
and
history.
The
old
museums
have
been
changing
and
the
government
is
encouraging
the
building
of
new,
modern
museums.
In
the
United
States
and
Canada,
there
are
more
than
6,
000
museums,
almost
twice
as
many
as
there
were
25
years
ago.
1.
The
directors
of
the
museums
have
realized
______
.
A.
people
learn
best
when
they
look
at
something
B.
visitors
prefer
to
learn
from
museums
C.
people
are
interested
if
they
take
part
D.
the
importance
of
scientific
rules
2.
Why
has
the
growing
population
of
young
people
caused
the
changes
in
museums?
A.
Because
they
are
stronger.
B.
Because
they
have
less
spare
time.
C.
Because
they
are
better
educated.
D.
Because
there
are
more
young
people.
3.

of
the
new
museums?
A.
Visitors
can
experience
themselves.
B.
Visitors

watch
more
carefully.

there
free.

rest
everywhere.
4.
What’s
the
best
title
of
the
passage?
A.
The
science
museum
in
Canada
B.
The
changes
of
the

Some
people
have
to
use
public
transport;
some
dislike
it
and
still
some
love
it.
If
everyone
has
a
car
and
drives
anywhere
they
want
to
go,there
will
be
serious
traffic
problems
on
the
road.
Luckily,trains
are
a
good
form
of
public
transport.
British
people
use
trains
a
lot.This
is
especially
so
for
people
who
are
travelling
from
London
to
Paris.
Every
day
about
20
trains
leave
London.
They
travel
at
a
very
high
speed
and
people
feel
glad
that
the
trains
take
only
2
hours
and
30
minutes
to
reach
Paris.
It's
much
faster
to
travel
by
train
than
by
bus
or
by
car.
This
is
because
people
have
to
drive
cars
or
buses
very
carefully
and
slowly
for
many
reasons,such
as
speed
limits
and
traffic
jams.
However,when
you
are
travelling
by
train,the
speed
is
almost
the
same
and
there
is
no
traffic
jam
for
a
train.
Besides,Londoners
think
taking
a
train
is
one
of
the
safest
ways
of
travelling
on
the
ground.Trains
take
quite
a
number
of
quality
tests
while
they
are
made.
More
importantly,
they
have
to
take
many
safety
checks
before
they
are
used
on
the
rail
track.
What’s
more,
trains
in
Britain
are
comfortable
and
provide
fine
services
(服务)
for
their
users.
When
you
are
on
a
London
train,
you
will
find
that
the
train
has
comfortable
tables
and
seats
where
people
can
sit.
They
also
provide
food
services
and
power
plugs
(电源插头)
for
personal
computers
or
mobile
phones.

are

in
less
than
2
hours.
B.
We
can
do
our

with
personal

Gandhi
once
said,
"You
must
be
the
change
you
wish
to
see
in
the
world.
"I
have
always
thought
about
this
quote
(引文)
and
asked
myself
what
I
could
do
to
make
a
change.
Since
I
am
a
junior
in
high
school,
poor
and
homeless
people
have
inspired
me
to
help
improve
their
lives.
I
enjoyed
painting,
and
have
been
doing
so
for
five
years.
But
what
could
I
do
with
my
creative
(创新的)
skills
to
change
the
world?
I
decided
to
take
part
in
an
autumn
craft
(手工)
festival
selling
my
handmade
and
painted
cards.
However,
there
was
still
a
piece
missing
in
the
puzzle—something
just
didn’t
feel
right.
I
don’t
know
what
I
could
do
to
"be
the
change".
Then
one
sunny
day,
I
thought
of
an
idea:
I
would
send
my
handmade
and
painted
cards
to
organizations
(组织)
across
the
world
that
help
kids
who
may
be
suffering
from
poverty
(贫穷)
,
or
difficult
situations.
I
call
my
project"Cards
for
Kids".
Since
it
began
in
November
2009,
over
700
special
message
cards
have
been
sent
out
to
kids
in
the
United
States
and
some
countries
in
Africa,
such
as
Tanzania.
Although
(尽管)
this
project
takes
much
time,
it
makes
me
feel
good
to
put
a
smile
on
a
poor
or
homeless
child’s
face
when
he
or
she
is
going
through
(经历)
a
tough
time.
At
present,
I
am
writing
to
such
organizations
as
The
World
Orphan
Project,
as
well
as
many
children’s
shelters
(收容所)
and
hospitals.
As
the
project
moves
on,
I
hope
to
send
out
even
more
cards.
I
have
been
learning
throughout
the
course
of
this
project
that
everyone
has
a
chance
to
be
the
change,
make
the
change,
and
begin
the
change.

a
small
village
in
the
southwest
of
China.
It’s
not
far
from
the
town
centre,
___1___
it
was
very
poor.
Like
many
30-year-olds
from
the
area,
Yu
Bili
left
in
1998
to
find
a
job
in
big
cities,
but
she
___2___
soon.
"I
saw
___3___
developed
(发达的)
the
outside
world
is,
and
wanted
the
same
for
my
hometown,"
Yu
says.
After
that,
Yu
spent
all
her
life
___4___
her
village.
As
the
first
woman
leader
of
the
village,
she
faced
lots
of
___5___
because
of
traditional
views
among
some
villagers.
She
___6___
by
building
roads
and
providing
water.
When
people
saw
the
improvement
to
the
village,
they
recognized
(认可)
her
effort
(努力)
and
___7___
.
Yu
then
advised
them
to
grow
vegetables
on
a
___8___
scale
(规模)
,
not
to
stick
to
(坚持)
the
traditional
practices

small
household.
Knowing
about
the
villagers’
doubts
(疑虑)
,
Yu
was
___9___
the
first

In
2008,
Yu
borrowed
20,000
yuan
to
build
six
greenhouses,
planting
vegetables
including
tomatoes,
pumpkins
and
potatoes.
She
made
more
than
60,000
yuan
in
one
year.
The
villagers
then
started

China
is
a

get
to
know
the
great
changes
in
China

the

Fifty

most
people
went
somewhere
by

or
on
foot.
It
was
very
___2___
and
tiring.
Many
cities
didn’t
have
trains,

But

televisions.
There

I

Things

___2___
I
joined

team.
At
first,
a
teacher
___3___
I
join
the
basketball
team.
I

good
sense
of
balance,
and
I
didn’t
have
the
___5___

But
because
the
teacher
kept
insisting
on
(坚持)
my
"
___6___
for
it",
I
decided
to
have
a
try.
Having
the
courage
(勇气)
was
only
the
half
of
it!
When
I
first
started
___7___
the
practice
courses,
I
didn’t
___8___
know
the
rules.
Sometimes
I’d
get
confused
(迷惑的)
and
take
a
shot
at
the
wrong
direction—which
made
me
feel
really
___9___
.
___10___
,
I
wasn’t
the
only
one
"new"
at
the
game,
so
I
decided
to
learn
the
game,
do
my
best
at
each
practice
course.
I
practiced
and
practiced.
Soon
I
knew

Being
part

wasn’t

difficult.
Very

the

WINNING.
I
didn’t

三、任务型阅读
A
It
is
mid-autumn
in
Beijing.
In
the
past
25
years
I
have
lived
in
a
Qing-period
courtyard
house,
which
was
once
the
home
of
Manchurian
banner
(满州旗)
men.
In
the
winter
months,
the
dry
and
sandy
Mongolian
winds
cut
through
the
narrow
hutongs
outside,
which
form
a
labyrinth
(迷宫)
in
the
centre
of
Beijing.
These
hutongs
were
born
in
the
period
of
Yuan
Dynasty
of
Emperor
(皇帝)
Kublai
Khan,
who
decided
to
make
Beijing
the
site
of
his
new
capital.
Then
workers
came
to
build
a
white
Buddhist
tower
that
stood
as
the
rising
symbol
(标志)
of
this
new
capital.
During
the
Ming
Dynasty
there
were
at
least
three
Buddhist
temples
built
in
this
hutong
where
I
live.
Workers
from
Huairen
County
in
Shanxi
Province
came
to
build
the
Forbidden
City
as
it
stands
today,
the
parks
and
palaces
that
became
Beijing
as
we
know
it.
They
brought
with
them
their
famous
scholar
trees
(槐树)
from
Shanxi,
planting
them
along
the
hutong
for
shade.
During
the
Qing
Dynasty,
this
hutong
became
home
of
the
White
Banners.
After
1911
Revolution
(革命)
of
Dr
Sun
Yat-sen,
years
of
war
damaged
(破坏)
many
of
these
hutongs
seriously.
Now,
the
gray
brick
walls
and
old
lion
stones
at
the
gates
of
these
courtyard
houses
are
the
witnesses
(见证)
to
the
past
history.
They
tell
us
70
years’
changes
have
taken
place
right
here
in
these
hutongs.

C
Because
of
the
outbreak
of
the
novel
coronavirus
pneumonia,
many
people
wear
masks
to
protect
themselves.
It’s
a
very
simple
but
useful
method
to
protect
oneself
from
the
harmful
things.
In
fact,
masks
have
been
helping
us
for
centuries.
Let’s
take
a
look
at
some
mask-related
history.
1st
century
At
that
time,
many
people
in
Roman
Empire
worked
underground
in
mines
to
support
their
families.
But
most
of
them
suffered
from
and
even
died
of
serious
illnesses.
To
solve
this
problem,
Pliny
the
Elder(23—79AD)
,
recommended
the
use
of
animal
skins.
And
it
helped
stop
the
dust
from
being
breathed.
16th
century
Many
centuries
later,
the
artist
and
inventor
Leonardo
da
Vinci(1452-1519)
in
Italy,
suggested
using
a
wet
cloth
over
the
face
to
protect
against
the
harmful
things.
19th
century
The
design
of
the
mask
took
a
big
step
forward
in
the
19th
century.
In
1848,
American
Lewis
Hassley
became
the
first
person
to
patent
(注册专利)
a
protective
mask
for
miners.
Later,
in
1897,
Polish-Austrian
doctor
Johann
von
Mikulicz-Radecki
designed
a
simple
mask,
which
was
the
first
to
use
in
hospital.
20th
century
In
1910,
a
Chinese
doctor
Wu
Liande
designed
a
cheap
face
mask
called
"Wu’s
mask".
People
around
the
world
all
liked
this
mask,
as
it
was
simple
to
make
and
had
a
low
cost.
Modern
exploration
With
several
outbreaks
of
the
diseases
and
the
flu,
and
the
rise
of
pollution
caused
by
industrial
waste,
the
materials
in
masks
are
better
than
before
to
protect
its
wearer.
In
the
future,
masks
will
continue
to
improve,
hopefully
so
will
the
habits
of
humans.

B
What
kind
of
transport
will
you
choose
when
you
travel?
Many
people
like
traveling
by
train
because
it’s
safer
and
cheaper.
Now
the
high-speed
railways
have
connected
eastern
China
as
well
as
the
south
and
the
north.
A
new
high-speed
railway
opened
on
Sept.
10th,
2016.
It
connects
Zhengzhou
with
Xuzhou.
With
this
railway,
China’s
high-speed
railways
are
over
20,
000
kilometres
long.
It
is
the
world’s
longest
railway
and
makes
up
60
percent
of
the
world’s
total
high-speed
railway
lines.
Besides
length,
China
also
does
better
in
speed.
China
is
the
only
country
with
trains
running
at
350
kilometres
an
hour,
such
as
the
Beijing—Tianjin
and
Beijing—Shanghai
high-speed
railways.
With
these
surprising
numbers,
it
is
easy
to
forget
that
China
wasn’t
the
first
in
the
high-speed
rail
game.
Japan
started
50
years
ago,
while
Germany
did
20
years
ago.
China
only
began
to
build
its
high-speed
railways
14
years
ago.
Behind
the
fast
development,
there
is
the
country’s
growing
need
for
transportation.
China’s
high-speed
trains
gave
961
million
trips
to
people
last
year.
It
was
three
times
more
than
in
2010.
The
high-
speed
railways
not
only
bridge
the
distance,
but
connect
people,
information
and
goods.
China’s
building
of
high-speed
railways
is
still
going
on.

五、首字母填空
A
Naranmandakh
went
abroad
because
of

has
become
a
millionaire
(百万富翁)
s___1___
then.
Naranmandakh’s

they
might
be
even
more
s___2___
to
see
the
change
that
has
happened
to
his
hometown.
For
many
years,
his
family
made
a
l___3___
from
cow

(放牧)
.
However,
the
serious
water

(短缺)
near
his
village
made
it
h___4___

them
to
keep
on.
Naranmandakh,
along
with
18
other
families,
m___5___
away
to
another
area
closer
to
the
Yellow
River.
Though

village
also
had
serious
water
shortages,
about
31
billion
cubic
meters
of
water
flow
along
a
river
across
Hanggin
Banner.
And
this
is
where
the
local
government
t___6___
harm
into
good,
which
has
made
Naranmandakh
a
millionaire.
In
2016,
Hanggin
spent
o___7___
40
million
yuan
on
building
a
38.5-kilometre
channel
(渠道)
to
direct
water
from
the
Yellow
River

wetland.
"Because
of
the

(牛)
.

plenty
of
grass
and
water,

e___10___
find
food
to
fill
their
stomachs,"
said
Naranmandakh.
B
Next
time
you
hold
a
book
in
your
hands,
stop
and
think.
Like
most
other
things
in
the
modern
world,
it
is
the
result
of
thousands
of
years
of
human
inventions
(发明)
.
First
came
the
invention
of
writing,
probably
about
5,
500
years
ago.
With
writing,
people
did
not
have
to
remember
e___1___
in
their
heads.
They
could
s___2___
their
thoughts
with
people
that
they
never
saw.
Later,
the
Greeks
were
famous
f___3___
their
literature
and
science,
but
their"books"looked
very
l___4___
from
the
books
of
today.
They
were
called
scrolls
(卷轴)
.
They
were
difficult
to
use
and
took
a
lot
of
s___5___
in
a
library
because
they
are
big
and
heavy.
About
2,000
years
ago,
books
with
lots
of
pages
were
invented.
For
more
than
a
thousand
years,
the
pages
of
books
were
made
from
animal
skin.
That
changed
in
the
thirteenth
c___6___
,
when
Europeans
learned
about
a
very
useful
Chinese
invention:
paper.
But
the
biggest
c___7___
for
books
in
Europe
came
in
1439,
when
Johannes
Gutenberg
invented
the
printing
press.
Before
that,
books
in
Europe
were
copied
by
hand,
so
they
were
very
e___8___
.
But
now
many
more
people
could
afford
(买得起)
the
books
that
were
produced
on
a
printing
press
because
they
were
cheap.
These
days
it
is
difficult
to
imagine
a
world
without
books.
But
human
inventions
do
not
s___9___
.
Every
year,
more
stories
are
bought
as
e-books
and
read
on
a
computer
or
a
p___10___
.
Will
anyone
turn
the
pages
of
a
traditional
book
in
the
future,
or
will
books,
like
scrolls,
soon
disappear?
C
Over
the
last
40
years,
great
changes
have
taken
place
in
our
streets
and
local
shops.
When
I
was
y___1___
,
people
used
to
do
more
of
the
shopping
in
traditional
shops.
There
used
to
be
butchers,
where
we
s___2___
meat
and
bakers
and
newsagents,
where
we
sold
newspapers
and
magazines.
Each
of
these
shops
used
to
be
s___3___
without
much
space.
Over
the
years
as
large
supermarkets
came
out,
some
of
those
traditional
s___4___
closed
down.
They
often
stayed
o___5___
much
later
than
the
new
supermarkets.
As
the
supermarkets
stayed
open
for
longer
and
longer
hours,
many
of
the
small
corner
shops
went
a___6___
.
The
supermarkets
have
grown
larger
and
sold
many
d___7___
things,
such
as
clothing,
car
parts,
food
and
drinks.
I
have
w___8___
this
article
hoping
to
remember
those
who
ran
the
traditional
shops
and
those
who
shopped
at
these
shops.
We'd
better
know
what
w
have
lost
because
of
these
changes.
We'd
better
know
the
r___9___
why
there
have
been
these
c___10___
and
know
what
changes
will
happen
in
the
future.
We
should
know
how
to
face
these
changes.
