Looking around your city, it may be hard to imagine that there might be a time when it will disappear. But that’s exactly what happened to these communities.
Hashima Island, Japan
Hashima Island was formerly one of the most populated cities in the world. The 6 hectare island provided jobs to more than 5,000 people, many of whom made their living at the island’s underwater coal mines. When the mines were closed, Hashima Island was abandoned.
Consonno, Italy
Consonno was a tiny town with a population of less than 300 and roots dating back to the middle ages. Then Mario Bagno came along and decided to turn the area into the Las Vegas of Italy. He knocked down nearly every building. Then landslide struck, burying the access road and the project was never finished. Today, Consonno has been abandoned.
Eastern Settlement, Greenland
Eastern Settlement in Greenland isn’t just an abandoned city, it’s also a mystery. Once the most populated area in Greenland, the area was abandoned and no one knows why. The last known writings from the area applied to a wedding in 1408 and offered no clues. It remains one of many ancient mysteries researchers can’t explain.
Troy, Turkey
Troy was regarded immortal (不朽的) in Homer’s epic poem, The Iliad. For many years, the Troy of Ancient Greece was merely the stuff of legend but in the 1800s its location was discovered in what is now Turkey. The site contains layers of ruins archaeologists are still studying.
1. What do the four communities have in common?
A. They were deserted. B. They were capital cities.
C. They were tourist spots. D. They were thickly populated.
2. Which community suffered from a natural disaster?

C. It’s a place for visitors to experience history.
D. It existed as one of the oldest towns in Greenland.



When Simon Cane was in the second grade, he began learning about all the ways humans have an impact on the environment and really took those classroom lessons to heart in a way that set him apart from his schoolmates at his elementary school, P. S. 81, in the Bronx. “He told me we drove too much and made too much pollution,” his dad, Jonathan Cane, told Runner’s World. So Simon convinced his parents to start hanging their clothes to dry, taking the stairs instead of elevators, and other “green” measures.
“For much of kindergarten and first grade I rode my bike to Simon’s school with him on the back,” Jonathan said. “We had a lot of fun being outdoors. We’d stop to give our dog treats and generally enjoyed it.” As Simon got bigger, though, it wasn’t practical for him to ride on his father’s back, but it also didn’t make sense to ride together — both because of safety concerns and because there was no place to put away Simon’s bike. So, most of the time they drove the 1.5 miles to school.
But in 2019, when Simon was going into third grade, the 8-year-old came up with a new way to help the planet: running the 1.5 miles to P. S. 81. And Jonathan promised his son he’d join him for as long as he wanted.
“We did a test run one day in August, and decided to give it a go. To be honest, I thought he’d blink (眨眼) after it got really cold or rainy, but he never did,” Jonathan said. He recalled one day when the weather was particularly bad. “It’s really raining out there today,” he told Simon. “And Simon said, ‘Well then we’re going to get wet!’ He took pride in toughing it out, and it became a really fun family routine.”
Since the start, Simon has run with his dad and their black dog, Lola, and has even inspired his mom, Nicole Sin Quee, to join in. They soon became known as “the family that runs to school”.
4. What makes Simon different from his classmates?
A. Washing his clothes by himself.
B. Taking many classes after school.
C. Raising strange questions in class.
D. Taking green measures to protect the environment.
5. How did Simon usually go to school in second grade?
A. By car. B. By cycling. C. By running. D. By school bus.
6. What can be inferred from paragraph 4?
A. Simon has trouble with his eyesight.
B. Simon is really stubborn and inflexible.
C. Simon is much tougher than expected.
D. Simon didn’t get support from his father.
7. What can be the best title for the text?
A. The Best Way to Go to School
B. Father and Son Run for the Environment
C. A Teenager Keeps Running to Inspire Father
D. Three Inspiring Running Athletes to Protect the Environment


It’s been a few years since my three-month trip across Europe, but it is by far one of the most amazing experiences I have ever had. If you have decided to go on this kind of journey, I have put together a list of important things to share with you, based on my own experiences.
You might be thinking now that you won’t have time or the desire to talk to anyone back at home while you are on your great adventure. However, once you’ve been away for a week or two, you might start to change your idea and want to tell anything you see to them. So it’s always a good idea to have a phone card that works internationally, just in case.
Before you buy a phone card plan, make sure of checking the rates! You don’t want to come home with a $500 phone bill! In order to make sure I didn’t overspend on the phone, I purchased a few $50 prepaid phone cards before I left, and then used my minutes sparingly.
Memories are never as clear, years later, as you want them to be. Pictures are nice, but you may find yourself wondering, “What was the name of that place?” Keep a diary so that you can record your daily activities, the names of people you met in a certain city, and exciting things you got to see or do.
If you don’t have enough money, you can choose to stay in hostels (招待所), which are by far the cheapest way in most of Europe. And you can also take a sleeping bag with you, which will make you have a better sleep, if you have room in your pack and you don’t mind the extra weight. But in my opinion, it might take up much room; you’d better not take one.
8. What might we do during our tour of Europe according to the second paragraph?
A. Become pretty homesick.
B. Waste time in remaking plans.
C. Spend time looking for phone cards.
D. Share our trip experiences with our families.
9. Which of the following words has the closest meaning to the underlined word “sparingly”?
A. Gently. B. Carefully. C. Quickly. D. Freely.
10. What does the author advise us to do in the last paragraph?
A. Book hostels in advance. B. Early to bed, early to rise.
C. Take as few things as possible. D. Make sure your items are well-packed.
11. What does the author mainly want to tell us by writing this passage?
A. How to prepare for a European trip.
B. How to have a good night’s sleep
C. How to keep a record of our journey.
D. How to save money on phone bills.


Chinese people love food made of flour. In the hands of skilled artisans (手艺人), flour is made into lovely models of people or animals to be enjoyed and played with, which brings a unique kind of pleasure. This art form is called dough figurine (面塑). Among the various art styles of dough figurines, Beijing’s Dough Figurine Lang is a unique folk art, which is filled with the rich history and customs of the capital city. In 2008, it was included in the list of national intangible (非物质的) cultural heritage.
It was created by Lang Shao’an. Most of the dough figurines are animals and characters from legends, historical stories, and local operas. The finished product is either put at the end of a thin stick or on a table for display. Some are mostly for children to eat or play with, with simple forms and vivid decorations, while some are fine pieces of artwork for display only. For this reason, during the making process they are often mixed with additives (添加剂) to better preserve the finished products.
Lang Jiaziyu, born in 1995, is the third-generation inheritor (继承人) of Dough Figurine Lang. When he was 15, he created Beijing Olympic Mascot (吉祥物) shaped dough figurines which were highly praised. He looks a bit more fashionable than other folk artisans. In his skilled hands, pop culture icons (偶像) are popular with young people.
Like most of the other intangible cultural heritage handicrafts in China, Dough Figurine Lang does not get as much attention from the public. Few young people are willing to take the time to master a skill that does not make money, which has led to a decline in the number of those who are devoted to the handicraft. Good handicrafts need the devotion of artisans from one generation to another.
12. What is special about Dough Figurine Lang?
A. It reflects Beijing’s culture.
B. It is created by many famous artists.
C. It shows people’s lifestyles and beliefs.
D. It is popular with both tourists and the locals.
13. Why do artisans add additives to dough figurines?
A. To make dough figurines taste good.
B. To keep colors brighter and lasting longer.
C. To help shape dough into various forms.
D. To better preserve the finished products.
14. What is the third paragraph mainly about?
A. Suggestions for other folk artisans.
B. Different art styles of dough figurines.
C. Lang Jiaziyu’s accomplishments as an artisan.
D. The popularity of modern dough figurines.
15. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To call on people to master a skill.
B. To appeal to people to value this folk art.
C. To teach people ways to appreciate the handicraft.
D. To persuade people to protect national cultural heritage.

For many years, I had a recurring dream. I was a little girl again, rushing about, trying to get ready for school.
“Hurry, you’ll be late for school,” my mother called to me.
“I am hurrying, Mom! What did I do with my books?”
Deep inside I knew where the dream came from. It was about some unfinished business in my life. As a kid, I loved everything about school. I loved books, teachers, tests and homework. Most of all I longed to someday march down the aisle to receive my diploma. That seemed more appealing even than getting married.
But at 15, I had to drop out because my parents couldn’t afford tuition. My hope of getting a diploma was dead, or so I thought. Pretty soon, I married and had three children, and I thought:“There goes my diploma.”
Even so, I wanted my children to be educated. But Linda, our youngest child, had juvenile arthritis in her hands and knees, which made it impossible for her to function in a normal classroom. I felt sorry for her and I didn’t want her to live her life with regret. I didn’t give up hope of her being back to school in some way.
One day, I saw an ad in the newspaper for evening courses. “That’s the answer,” I said to myself. Linda always feels better in the evening, so I’ll just sign her up for night school.
Linda was busy filling out enrollment forms when the secretary said:“Mrs. Schantz, why don’t you come back to school?”
I laughed: “There’s no way! I’m 55!” But he persisted, and before I knew what I had done, I was enrolled for classes in English and crafts. “This is only an experiment,” I warned him, but he just smiled. So, I told myself to try for just a semester and to see if it would work. Anyway, my dream was still there in my heart.

Good handicrafts need the devotion of artisans from one generation to another.（很少有年轻人愿意花时间去掌握一项不赚钱的技能，这导致了专注于手工艺的人的数量下降。好的手工艺品需要一代又一代工匠的奉献。）”可知，作者在文中介绍了北京面人郎，并呼吁人们能更加重视这一民间艺术，这也是本文的写作目的所在。故选B。

【解析】这是一篇说明文。探索未知是人类与生俱来的，太空探索技术的发展也能帮助解决人类面临的一些大问题，带来经济效益，创造更多工作机会，且对孩子们来说是一种激励。
1. 根据上文“In 1969, when Neil Armstrong first landed on the Moon, many people thought soon we would be regularly visiting other planets.（1969年，当尼尔·阿姆斯特朗首次登上月球时，许多人认为很快我们就会定期访问其他行星。）”和下文“The reality is that space exploration is extremely difficult and dangerous.（事实是太空探索是非常困难和危险的。）”可知，上文提到人们认为很快就可以定期访问其它行星，下文提到太空探索的艰难，由此推知空处陈述事实并不是人们设想的那样。A项“事实显然并非如此”符合题意，this指代上文人们的设想。故选A。
2. 根据下文“From the very early days of human life on the Earth, our curiosity about the unknown has kept us adventuring into new places.（从人类出现在地球上的早期开始，我们对未知的好奇心就一直促使我们不断探索新的领域）”可知，人类对未知的探索是与生俱来的。B项“探索是我们的天性”符合题意。故选B。
3. 根据上文“With technologies developed for space exploration, we can solve some big problems facing mankind, making our lives safer and easier.（随着太空探索技术的发展，我们可以解决人类面临的一些大问题，使我们的生活更安全、更容易。）”和下文“Originally applied to the space shuttle launch, they have also been set up in the cities with a high frequency of earthquakes to protect buildings and save lives.（它们最初用于航天飞船发射，现在也被设置在地震频率高的城市，以保护建筑物和挽救生命。）”可知，上文提到太空探索技术的发展也可以帮助解决人类面临的重大问题，而下文介绍了用于地震频发城市的一项技术，由此推知空处举例介绍一种用于地震的太空探索技术。D项“其中之一是地震减震器”符合题意，earthquake是关键词，下文的they指代选项中的“earthquake shock absorbers”。故选D。
4. 根据上文“Although space exploration demands huge investment, it can actually bring great economic value. The global space economy is increasing by billions of dollars every year.（虽然太空探索需要巨大的投资，但它实际上可以带来巨大的经济价值。全球太空经济每年以数十亿美元的速度增长。）”和下文“Jobs in the space industry go far beyond the astronauts.（太空工业的工作远不止宇航员）”可知，上文提到了太空探索带来的经济效益，而下文则提到了工作，由此推知空处陈述它还带来了工作机会。E项“它也可以提供各种各样的工作机会”符合题意，also表明上下文的并列关系，选项中的It指代上文的space exploration。故选E。
5. 空处位于段末，应起总结作用。根据上文“Moreover, the amazing work can provide education and inspiration for the next generation. Such wonders as a space shuttle launch or astronauts walking on the Moon are incredibly inspiring to witness. These moments shape children's lives forever and motivate them to become the scientists and engineers of the future.（此外，这些令人惊叹的工作可以为下一代提供教育和灵感。像航天飞机发射或宇航员在月球上行走这样的奇迹是令人难以置信的鼓舞人心的见证。这些时刻一直塑造着孩子们的生活，激励他们成为未来的科学家和工程师。）”可知，G项“当你看到一个人在月球上行走，你就会相信一切皆有可能!”符合题意，与上文承接自然，选项中的walk on the moon呼应上文的astronauts walking on the Moon。故选G。

【解析】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了探险家克里斯托弗·哥伦布发现新大陆的故事。
1. 考查介词。句意：哥伦布坚持寻找一条直达东印度群岛的海上航线，即横渡大西洋。insist on为固定搭配，意为“坚持”。故填on。
2. 考查形容词。句意：经过不断的努力，他得到了西班牙国王和王后的财政支持。修饰名词support，用形容词financial，意为“财政的”。故填financial。
3. 考查非谓语动词。句意：1492年8月3日，他带着三艘船离开西班牙，船上约有90名船员。分析句子可知，carry（运载）作后置定语修饰名词ships，是非谓语动词，与其逻辑主语ships之间是主动关系，应用现在分词表主动。故填carrying。
4. 考查名词。句意：这次旅行充满了挑战：比预期的时间长，他们面临食物短缺，其中一艘船漏水严重，这让船上的每个人都处于严重的危险之中。 根据句意和空格前不定冠词a可知，应填入名词shortage构成短语a shortage of...，意为“短缺，缺少”。故填shortage。

6. 考查非谓语动词。句意：尽管面临种种挑战，哥伦布还是凭借自己的知识和勇气，成功地让大家远离了危险。manage to do sth.为固定搭配，跟不定式作宾语，意为“设法完成某事”。故填to keep。
7. 考查副词。句意：最后，在10月12日，船员们在远处发现了陆地。提示词为副词修饰整个句子，作时间状语，应用副词finally，意为“最后”；句首单词首字母大写。故填Finally。
8. 考查冠词。句意：最后，在10月12日，船员们在远处发现了陆地。in the distance是固定短语，意为“在远处”。故填the。
9. 考查固定短语和时态。句意：哥伦布称住在岛上的土著人为印第安人，因为他确信他在东印度群岛。...be convinced (that)...是固定短语，意为“确信……”，其中convinced是形容词；讲述过去的事情，用一般过去时态，主语是第三人称单数代词he，be动词用was。故填was convinced。
10. 考查时态和语态。句意：然而，他们到达的海岸是加勒比海，而不是东印度群岛。分析句子可知，reach（到达）是句中谓语动词，与主语they之间是主动关系，根据句意可知，“到达加勒比海岸”发生在谓语动词were，是“过去的过去”，应用过去完成时态。故填had reached。


书面表达
【答案】
Good evening, my dear teachers,
I’m Li Hua. Knowing you’re keen on traditional Chinese culture, I’d like to introduce a traditional Chinese festival to you — the Dragon Boat Festival.
The Dragon Boat Festival falls on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, so it’s also called the Double Fifth Festival. On that day, we usually eat Zongzi — sticky rice dumplings wrapped in bamboo leaves. As the festival name shows, people hold dragon boat races to celebrate it, especially in the southern places in memory of Qu Yuan, a great poet of ancient China. Therefore, it’s regarded as a day of mourning and cherishing the memory.

Linda and I saw each other through the time. When I was down, Linda encouraged me. “Mom, you can’t quit now!” And when she was down, I encouraged her.
