阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中, 选出最佳选项。

A

Dunhuang is the top tourist city in China. Its key points of interest and natural sights are shockingly beautiful and able to tug at one's heart. The Pearl of the Silk Road, Dunhuang, opens her arms to welcome tourists from all over the world.

Mogao Caves

Located 25 kilometers southeast of Dunhuang, Mogao Caves is regarded as the best Buddhist spot in China, perhaps in the whole world. The artistic features of the treasured Buddhist murals（壁画）, represent perfectly the artistic style of the Northern Wei (386-543) Sui(581-618)and Tang(618-907)dynasties.

Yumenguan Pass

Situated 90 kilometers northwest of the city, the Yumen Pass was an important gateway to the western region in ancient times. Yumen Pass, Hecang Town and Han Great Wall (Han Dynasty)are the major sights in this area. Since the Yumen Pass is a distance from Dunhuang, one can have a feel of the desolation（荒凉）of western China.

Crescent（新月）Lake

Five kilometers southwest of the city, the Crescent Lake lies in the arms of Echoing-Sand Mountain, appearing clear and beautiful. The lake is crescent-shaped, hence the name. It's surrounded by quicksand. Although it's quite windy sometimes, the lake has never been covered by the sand. It's really a marvelous scene in the desert.

Echoing-Sand Mountain

Five kilometers south of the city, Echoing-Sand Mountain is the accumulation of years of sand in the size of rice. Each time the wind blows, there is a sound from the mountain and when there is a breeze, the sound is like musical instruments, hence the name. The most marvelous experience is when after climbing to the top, although quite tough, one can slide down to the foot of the mountain, a wonderfully amusing experience!

21. Which attraction is suitable for tourists interested in Buddhism culture?

A. Mogao Caves.       B. Yumenguan Pass.

C. Crescent Lake.       D. Echoing-Sand Mountain.

22. What do the third and fourth attractions have in common?

A. They are natural scenes.     

B. They get their names by the shape.

C. They involve sand-sliding experiences.

D. They offer historical information about the city.

23. Where can the text be found?

A. In a history book.      B. In a news report.

C. In a travel brochure.      D. In a science magazine.

B

I remember the day when Dad first brought home the heavy accordion（手风琴）. He gathered my mother and me in the living room and opened the case as if it were a treasure. My thin smile didn't match his broad grin, because I had wished for a guitar or a piano.

Shortlyafter my lessons began, I was ordered to practice half an hour every day. Gradully, I was able to string notes together and play simple songs.

Someday, I found a case at home. Opening it, I saw a beautiful violin. "It's your father's, "Mom said. "His parents bought it for him. I guess he got too busy on the farm to ever learn to play it. "I tried to imagine Dad's rough hands on this delicate instrument—— and couldn't.

With the fall school concert nearing, I would have to play a solo（独奏）on a local movie theater's stage. I wanted to skip the whole thing.

Emotions boiled over in the car one Sunday afternoon. "I don't want to play a solo, " I said. "You have to, "replied my father.

"Why?"I shouted. "Because you didn't get to play your violin when you were a kid? Why should I have to play this stupid instrument when you never had to play yours?"Dad pulled the car over.

"Because you can bring people joy. "He added softly, "Someday you'll have chance I never had: you'll play beautiful music for your family. ""

I was speechless. I had rarely heard Dad speak with such feeling about anything, much less the accordion.

The evening of the concert, I walked onto the stage and performed without a mistake. Dad slipped an arm around me and held me close. "You were just great, "he said. Then he shook my hand and was slow to let it go.

Dad never learned to produce sweet sounds from his violin. Yet he was wrong to think he would never for his family. Every time my husband and children laughed and danced, hearing my accordion, I know it was my father's music.

24. How did the author feel at the first sight of her accordion?

A. Unhappy.   B. Anxious.    C. Content.    D. Excited.

25. Why did the author mention her father's not playing the violin in his childhood?

A. To prove a theory.  B. To find an excuse. C. To give an example. D. To make a comparison. 26. Why did the father insist the author play the accordion?

A. She could perform on stage.

B. She could realize her father's dream.

C. She would enjoy the pleasure music brings.

D. She would have a chance to play music for her family.

27. What can be a suitable title for the text?

A. My father's music.      B. My music lessons.

C. My first solo performance.    D. My journey to an accordionist.

C

Have you ever wondered why elephants get so big? Thanks to their enormous size, they have been able to survive for thousands of years in all kinds of circumstances. Their size has allowed them to reach high food sources, knock down trees instantly and find water underground. Not only does their size benefit them but also their ecosystem.

Elephants use their size to create holes in the ground to find water. During droughts（干旱）, they will start to dig holes to find water that might be stored underground. Elephants are not just helping themselves but also smaller species. Those water holes that they create become water sources for other species. These holes are essential, especially during droughts. Without elephants, some smaller species would not have access to water.

Elephants spend a lot of time eating. To be exact, they spend 12 to 18 hours a day eating. Since they eat so much, they are always on the shift to find food sources. These magnificent creatures can walk up to 50 miles a day. As elephants make their way to their next location, they drop dung（粪便）filled with seeds along the way. Once on the ground, those seeds will begin to grow. The elephant dung helps the seeds shoot. This helps increase the biodiversity of plants and trees.

Elephants create homes for other species. Another one of the roles and importance of elephants in the ecosystem is creating homes for smaller creatures. Unexceptional small species do not have the size to knock down trees or create holes in the ground to create a home. These animals rely on elephants to do that for them. Elephants use their powerful kicks and teeth to knock down trees. Small species will then use that as shelter. Furthermore, elephants help spread seeds that grow into trees and plants that animals will call home.

28. What is the cause of elephants' survival for thousands of years?

A. Their huge size.     B. Rich food sources.

C. Their unique shape.     D. Plenty of water underground.

29. How do elephants help increase the biodiversity of plants and trees?

A. They eat a lot.      B. They knock down trees.

C. They cover a long distance.  D. They produce waste along the way.

30. Which of the following is NOT the function of elephants in the ecosystem?

A. They make shelters for other species.

B. They dig water holes for other creatures.

C. They help the seeds of plants spread and grow.

D. They find food sources for other plants and animals.

31. What is the main idea of the passage?

A. It encourages people to protect elephants.

B. It talks about the importance of elephant dung.

C. It introduces the benefits of elephants to the environment.

D. It informs readers of the reasons why elephants grow big.

D

The Cure for Concrete

Dutch microbiologist Hendrik Jonkers studies bacteria. He also has researched how certain living beings are able to heal themselves when injured. When a bone breaks in the human body, it is able to repair itself. Jonkers wondered if bacteria（细菌）could be used to"heal" nonliving stuff in a similar way. He tested this theory by adding bacteria to concrete（混凝土）. He discovered that concrete may also be able to recover from damage.

Concrete is one of the most important building materials. It is used to construct highways, bridges, and high-rise buildings. In fact, concrete demand has doubled in the last decade. Concrete production now accounts for 5% of the world's carbon emissions, which is harmful to the environment.

Despite its popularity, concrete cracks. When water gets inside the cracks, it weakens the composition of concrete. Eventually the concrete must be repaired or replaced. In Europe the annual cost of maintaining concrete structures is billions of dollars.

Jonkers has developed a self-healing concrete, or bioconcrete, to help solve these problems. He combines concrete with bacteria that are naturally able to produce limestone, a hard rock. The bacteria are placed inside plastic containers that are mixed into wet concrete. The bacteria can live in the hardened concrete for decades. When water enters through cracks in the concrete, the plastic containers open, and the bacteria are released. As the bacteria grow and multiply, they form limestone, which fills in the cracks. Jonkers'bioconcrete has been used on the floors and roofs of parking garages and buildings.

While bioconcrete has its advantages, it is 50 percent more costly to create than traditional concrete. This makes some people in the construction industry reluctant to use the product. Still, Jonkers believes the initial investment is worth the long-term savings and advantages it will provide—reducing the need for repairs, making new concrete and the amount of carbon pollution.

32. Why does the author talk about " a bone repairing itself" in the first paragraph?

A. To stress the importance of Jonker's research.

B. To advocate more research concerning bone injuries.

C. To suggest that bacteria could improve people's health.

D. To show the way concrete can recover from water damage.

33. What does the third paragraph mainly talk about?

A. The popularity of concrete.    B. The composition of concrete.

C. The disadvantage of concrete.    D. The cost of repairing concrete.

34. What does the underlined word in the last paragraph mean?

A. pleased.    B. inspired.    C. hesitant   D. unconcerned

35. What do we know about bioconcrete?

A. It works best in areas affected by flood.

B. The bacteria come out whenever it rains.

C. It does not need to be repaired or replaced.

D. The bacteria can form a hard rock to repair the cracks.

The Lesson in Design

It was Friday afternoon. On the way home from school, Andy studied the fabrics（面料）and colors of the other students' clothes. Everyone wore the same basic outfit-jeans and some sort of shirt. Nothing out of the ordinary, nothing attractive or stylish. Being from a family of tailors（裁缝）, Andy had learned how to make and change clothes over years. But he wanted to be more than just a tailor.

When Andy arrived at his father's tailor shop, he watched his father一pins（大头针）in his mouth, measuring tape hanged around his neck—expertly repair pants. Andy's father always said, "Often, when people look better, they act better too. "That was exactly the reason why Andy longed to create something of his own, something different, something exceptional.

"Andy, there's something I want to give you. "Andy's father peered over his eyeglasses and asked Andy to follow him to the back room. On the corner of a large worktable sat a heavy sewing machine（缝纫机）, an old model that looked very different from the modern one Andy's father used. "I was your age when my father gave this to me, and now I'm giving it to you. "Andy eyed the old machine appreciatively. "Thank you, Dad. This is perfect!"

Andy wanted to use the sewing machine right away to realize his dream--an outstanding outfit. First he drew a design that was stylish yet original and then he paid a visit to the fabric store to select the perfect fabrics for his creation. Andy began working that same night, losing himself in lines and folds, ripping out stitches（缝线）and redoing them. It took over a week, but after multiple fittings and adjustments, his outfit was ready for its first appearance.

注意∶1. 所续写短文的词数应为 150 左右;
