Today, it still has a lot of ancient sites related to it.NanjingIn 1403，the Emperor of Ming dynasty ordered the construction of a fleet(舰队) of “treasure boats" under the command of Zheng He, who led seven historical sea voyages across the world. It was one of the largest and most advanced fleets the world had ever seen. A reconstruction of one of the ships can be seen at the Treasure Shipyard Relic Park in Nanjing.TaicangFrom Jiangsu 's busy port city of Taicang，goods have flowed in and out of the province by water for centuries. In the busy port，Lusi，where visitors can try the freshest seafood at Lusi Seafood Market，huge vessels sail the same waters where Zheng He set out on his historic adventures centuries earlier. It's a continuity of commerce and exploration which shows that the historic Maritime Silk Road has never really gone away.YangzhouIn the city of Yangzhou，which is famous for its Huaiyang cuisine and historic gardens, there is a Tang-dynasty temple. In the 8th century， Jianzhen lived there before he attempted several sea voyages to Japan-to spread the teachings of Buddhism there. It can still be visited on Shugang Mountain today.LianyungangClose to the present-day city of Lianyungang in northern Jiangsu is Kongwang Mounrain. Visitors can climb the mountain to view a collection of the earliest Buddhist carvings. These carvings prove the importance of the Maritime Silk Road and Jiangsu province's role in the spread of religion across China.21. What can tourists see at the Treasure Shipyard Relic Park?A. Jianzhen's temple.B. One of the "treasure boats".C. A Buddhist Museum.D. The earliest Buddhist carvings.22. From which city did Zheng He set out on his historical voyages?A. Nanjing.B. Yangzhou.C. Taicang.D. Lianyungang.23. What do Shugang Mountain and Kongwang Mountain have in commonA. They are famous for Huaiyang restaurants.B. They are well-known for historic gardens.C. They have ancient silk products on exhibit.D. They are home to important religious relics.BIn living memory，no world leader has been as widely identified with particular animal as Queen Elizabeth with her dogs. They are seen with her on so many occasions that they have become a key part of her public image.They are more than her public image，though. In a life that is full of rules, they provide an easy way for the Queen to break the ice with strangers. She also gets from them unlimited amounts of true love and affection，unaffected by the knowledge that she is a queen. Whenever possible, the Queen feeds the dogs herself and leads them on daily walks. Her husband，Prince Philip，has referred to these chores(杂活) as his wife's private “dog moments”.When the Queen was young, the dogs kept her company，too. During WWII，she and her sister Margaret were moved to Windsor Castle in secret while their parents stayed at Buckingham Palace to face the bombing with the public.Through the war's long days and nights，they could be relied upon to comfort them. Jane，in particular，was Elizabeth and Margaret's childhood strength.On her 18th birthday，the Queen was given a two-month-old baby dog，Susan. They soon became inseparable. In 1947，hidden under blankets in the carriage, Susan rode with the Queen as she left with Prince Philip for their honeymoon in Scotland.Susan became such a public figure that，when Elizabeth gave birth to her first baby—Charles，The Mirror asked readers to advise the Queen on how to keep Susan from growing jealous(妒忌的) of the infant. One of the answers read: "First, hug Susan all the time. Second, let Susan have a bow of milk when you are nursing the baby." A year later, Susan produced two babies—Sugar(who belonged to the infant Prince Charles) and Honey (who lived with the Queen Mum).In the minds of dog fans，Susan remains the most significant figure. This is not because she was the Queen's dog. It is because her genes have been so long-lived—Susan is the common ancestor of all the Queen's dogs.24. Why does the Queen personally take care of the dogs?A. She has too much time to spend at home.B. She wants to have a normal life in private.C. She tries to show her unique skills to dog fans.D. She uses dog-caring to connect with the public.25. What does the underlined word “they” in paragraph 3 refer to?A. The long days and nights.B. The Queen's parents.C. Jane and the other dogs.D. Elizabet and Margaret.26. Which dog belonged to the Queen's oldest child?A. Susan.B. Jane.C. Honey.D. Sugar.27. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?A. A True Love Story: Queen Elizabeth and Her DogsB. Queen Elizabeth's Beloved Dogs: Her Public ImageC. Jane: Elizabeth and Margaret's Childhood StrengthD. Susan: the Common Ancestor of the Queen's DogsCIf you've ever emerged from the shower or returned from your walk with a clever idea or a solution to a problem you had been struggling with，it may not be a surprise. Rather than constantly concentrating on a problem，research from the last 15 years suggests that people may be more likely to have creative break throughs when they're doing a habitual task that doesn't require much thought.“People always get surprised when they realize they get interesting novel ideas at unexpected times," says Kalina Christoff，a scientist at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver，“because our culture tells us that we should do it through hard work.”Now researchers begin to understand why these clever thoughts occur during more passive activities and what's happening in the brain. They have found that the key is a series of brain activities—within what's called the default mode(DM) network—that occur while an individual is resting or performing habitual tasks that don't require much attention.“Simply put, it is a state that your brain returns to when you 're relaxed,” explains Christoff. "By contrast, when you're working on a demanding task，the brain's executive control(EC) systems keep your thinking focused，analytical，and logical.”Researchers find that the DM network is also involved in the early stages of idea generation，drawing from past experiences and knowledge about the world. When your mind wanders，you're allowing thoughts to playfully cross your mind, which helps you combine information and ideas in new ways and something clicks.“A cautionary note: While the DM network plays a key role in the creative process, it is the EC systems that help you to evaluate and apply the creative ideas effectively to your problems in the real world,” Christoff says. “So it's unwise to place blind faith in the discovery that creative ideas can be generated in the shower or during any other kinds of mind wandering. Instead, you have to do the work to set the groundwork for creative ideas to emerge in the first place.”28. What is the most unlikely function of the EC systems?A. To make you feel stressed.B. To help you analyze.C. To let you get novel ideas.D. To keep you focused.29. What do the underlined words “something clicks” in paragraph 5 probably mean?A. A clever idea occurs.B. Something drops down.C. A memory disappears.D. A funny thought happens.30. What is Kalina Christoff's attitude to the culture of hard work?A. Disapproving.B. Positive.C. Doubtful.D. Unconcerned.31. Which statement might the author agree with?A. Practice makes perfect.B. Where there is a will，there is a way.C. Everything comes to him who waits.D. All work and no break makes Jack a dull boy.DEveryone dreams of pleasure，but few know how to obtain it and at what cost. Surprisingly，some of the most useful tips come not from modern psychology but from a 2.000-year-old Greek philosopher，Epicurus.Yes，he dreamed of a life of pleasure but not as we typically think of the word. For Epicurus，pleasure consisted not of a presence of anything but an absence-a complete lack of anxiety. “It is better for you to lie upon a bed of straw and be free of fear, than to have a huge palace yet be troubled in mind,” he said.We now live in a golden age of pleasure. So many options lie just a click away: delicious food，better smartphones and nicer cars. ..“Such things are traps,” Epicurus would say. "Beyond a certain point，pleasure cannot be increased-just as a bright sky cannot get any brighter—but only varied. The new smartphones or cars represent pleasure varied, not increased. That is why the new car that thrilled you on the test drive bores you after a month on the road. Yet our entire consumer culture is based on the assumption that pleasure varied equals pleasure increased. It leads to needless unhappiness.”Epicurus also thought a lot about a question we have ignored very often: How much is enough? "Live a natural life and welcome whatever goodness comes its way. Don't grow dependent on unnatural pleasures since each of them comes with hidden costs—not only monetary but also psychological,” Epicurus would say. "Don't live beyond your natural needs. Nature has made the necessary desires easy to satisfy and the unnecessary ones difficult. Bananas grow on trees. Expensive cars don't. Natural desire will guide us toward the highest pleasures and away from the unnecessary ones.”Friendship，Epicurus thought，is life's greatest pleasure，especially during mealtimes. “To eat and drink alone is to devour like the lion and the wolf,” he said. “The meal does not have to be good. With the right mindset, and in the right company，even a simple' pot of cheese will turn out to be a feast.”32. What did Epicurus consider important for a happy life?A. A lot of money.B. Ambition for a palace.C. Equal opportunities.7D. Freedom from anxiety.33. What are paragraph 3 and paragraph 4 mainly about?A. Types of consumer goods.B. Rich choices in our age.C. Traps of consumer culture.D. Convenience in modern life.34. What do the bananas stand for in Epicurus' argument?A. The unnatural pleasure.B. The natural need.C. The unnecessary desire.D. The highest happiness.35. What can be inferred about Epicurus?A. He enjoyed exchanging ideas with his friends.B. His followers would like unaffordable foods.C. He avoided having dinner with other people.D. His lifestyle was very popular in ancient Greece.第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Praising kids is an important part of building their self-respect and confidence.
