B.By listing figures.C.By giving a definition. D.By making a comparison.26.What can we get from the passage?A.Visitors can explore the Everglades in many ways.B.Visitors are not allowed to stay in the water in the park.C.President Harry Truman first suggested setting up the park.D.Everglades National Park is the largest national park in the US.27.What will be further discussed if the passage is continued?A.How the endangered wildlife lost their lives.B.What settlers have done to save the wetlands.C.How the park’s environment was badly changed.D.What the government has done to protect the park.CA couple of weeks ago,my parents came to visit me in the southwest of France during my break.As a little surprise for them,I planned a trip to a small village in the Pyrenees Mountains called Niaux to see the famous “Grotte de Niaux”.My dad told me so many stories about the famous “grottes” of Southern France:Lascaux,Font-de-Gaume and the Cave of Niaux.These caves contain paintings drawn between 17,000 and 11,000 years ago!Advances in science and technology have enabled scientists and historians to date the paintings accurately by carbon dating(碳定年法) and discover the tools with which people used to draw the paintings,as well as the materials they used.My dad studied these caves when he was a college student,but he didn’t have the chance to see one personally.Therefore,I decided to change it!Many caves that contain prehistoric paintings are no longer accessible to the public.The carbon dioxide that we breathe out and the harsh artificial lights quickly degrade the quality of the paintings,and for many caves,now visitors can only see reconstructions of the original paintings.However,Niaux is an exception.By limiting the number of people allowed in the cave at a time and limiting the artificial lights used to light the paintings,the paintings in Niaux are well protected so that visitors can see the originals.They are unbelievable!We saw paintings of bison(北美野牛),mountain goats and deer carved on the walls as though they had been done yesterday.They were actually drawn around 14,000 years ago!Many people believe that these paintings were drawn as part of an almost religious ritual(仪式),while others believe they represent the life experiences of the men and women who lived in these caves many years ago.Maybe we will never know for sure why the paintings were drawn,but one thing is for certain—those cavemen were far better at drawing than I am!28.Why did the author’s father tell him many stories about the “grottes”?A.The author asked him to do so. B.It was his father’s duty.C.His father was interested in them. D.They weren’t known to the author.29.What can visitors only see of the original paintings in many caves?A.Shadows. B.Copies. C.Models. D.Introductions.30.What makes the paintings in Niaux unbelievable?A.Good protection. B.Great skill. C.Good quality. D.Dark light.31.We can know from the text that 　　　. A.this was the second time that the author’ s father had visited Niaux B.visitors don’t know the material used to draw the pictures in Niaux C.only the carbon dioxide people breathe out degraded the quality of the paintings D.visitors don’t know clearly why the paintings were drawn DWhen you think of the Himalayas,you may picture tall,rocky,snow-covered peaks.But that’s not true.The subnival(亚冰雪的) region is the zone between the treeline and the snowline.It is 5 to 15 times as large as the areas of glaciers and permanent snow,which means studying it is vital to understanding the Himalayas as a whole.The treeline is the edge of an ecosystem where trees are able to grow,and beyond the treeline environmental conditions become too tough to allow tree growth.Meanwhile,snowlines are the boundaries on mountains that separate areas with permanent snow(where snow is present for the majority of the year) from areas with seasonal or no snow.Researchers used satellite data from 1993 to 2018 to measure plant cover between 4,150 meters and 6,000 meters above sea level.The scientists discovered that the greatest increase in plant cover was between an altitude of 5,000 meters and 5,500 meters.Subnival plants mostly include small shrubs and grass.Even areas once completely occupied by glaciers now hold rocks covered with mosses,lichen,and sometimes even flowers.In addition,the snowline seems to be retreating,while the treeline is expanding.This shows that the region is becoming warmer,causing more melting of snow and allowing vegetation to move up in height.In the past 40 years,25% of all Himalayan ice has been lost due to global warming.Himalayan glaciers are reducing by about 0.5 meters each year.The rate of glacier melting has doubled in this decade.The melting of glaciers increases water in the region,making it wetter.Receding snow also forces the snowline to move up,providing a greater amount of area for the warm and moist conditions,which are perfect for vegetation growth.As of now,we do not know whether vegetation will accelerate or slow down the rate of glacier melting.32.How does the writer develop the third paragraph?A.By explaining concepts. B.By providing some examples.C.By analyzing causes and effects. D.By listing specific data.33.What does the underlined word “retreating” mean in paragraph 5?A.Disappearing. B.Lengthening. C.Withdrawing. D.Widening.34.What is the direct effect of global warming on the Himalayas?A.The snowline moves up. B.Glaciers are melting faster.C.The subnival area is wetter. D.Plants grow much better.35.What does the passage mainly talk about?A.The climate of the Himalayas is changing. B.Icebergs in the Himalayas have disappeared.C.Plants are diverse in the Himalayas. D.Plant life spreads in the Himalayas.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。The Taj MahalShah Jahan finished building the Taj Mahal in 1648.He was a rich and powerful

noon on a brilliant Tuesday in March,my 12-year-old son Kai and I were a mile and a half into a four-day,27-mile walk through the Grand Canyon—his first backpacking trip — when he asked,“Are we almost to camp?”Um,no.Camp,at Hermit Creek,was seven miles and nearly 2,500 feet below,which would take us several more hours.We were going down a poorly maintained path off the canyon,across which we could see many of the canyon’s layers.This was on display in cliffs hundreds of feet tall,a reminder of how far we had to go.We were here largely because of a birthday note Kai wrote to me two years ago in which he declared,“You used to be a wild 10-year-old like me and now you’re a wild 53-year-old.We can do so many things together!I am excited about when I’m old enough for the Grand Canyon!”There were,I suppose,dads who could resist that,just as there were fathers who would plan an experience-appropriate trip for their sons.But I was neither.Never mind that;aside from simply being 12,Kai had done almost nothing to physically prepare for this.Or that I hadn’t backpacked for 13 years.We headed on past twisty trees and brush.Soon the view broadened,and the layers grew deeper,down to the shadowy,1.8 billion-year-old Vishnu,a panorama(全景) that left Kai excited.“This place is amazing,” he said.Nightfall in the canyon can be magical.Darkness surrounded us,pressed by cool air.We navigated a narrow path to the stream and,hearing the sound of a waterfall,lay down to take in the stars.Twice I suggested we turn in.“Not yet,” Kai said.“This is so unbelievable.”注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;2.请按如下格式作答。The last day’s plan was to travel the three miles to the Colorado River,which was the most challenging.____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________After

right?W:Yes,actually,I didn’t want to move.The old one is much closer to my office and we got on well with our neighbors.But we had to as our children are growing up and they need their own space.M:So that’s why we often see you drive to work.Did you use to drive or walk to work?W:Usually I walk,and sometimes I take a bus.(Text 7)W:Did you know James went out of business?M:Really?When was that?W:Last month.M:That’s too bad.He had owned that business for 15 years.What happened?W:I don’t know.But life must be pretty tough for his family now.His sons are still so young.One is 13 and the other is 10.M:Well,maybe things are not as bad as they seem to be.W:I hope so.(Text 8)M:What are pubs?W:Pubs in England are friendly and warm places where you can have a drink and usually a simple meal.M:What kind of drinks do people get?W:You can get wine in most pubs.Many also serve coffee.You go to the counter to order and pay for your drink.M:When do people go to the pubs?W:Pubs are not open all day.They can decide when to open.Most open for 3 or 4 hours at lunchtime and again from about 6:00 pm-11:00 pm.In busy areas,pubs may stay open from 11:00 am-11:00 pm.Are there pubs in China?M:Yes.Most of the goers are young people.They like to stay with their friends after work and have an enjoyable time.W:It is against the law in England to go into a pub if you are under the age

interested in mountain climbing!M:I do like to climb,but you know,the two sports have a lot in common.I’ll give you an example:The same technique for climbing down steep rocks is used in both sports.Of course,climbers use this technique to come down hills,while cave-explorers use it to go down holes.W:What else does your society do?M:For one thing,we help preserve caves.Believe it or not,some people are so careless that they just leave their litter in caves.And some people even write on cave walls.So we pick up litter and clean away the drawings on the wall.W:I don’t think I’d like cave-exploring very much.Caves are wet and cold and dark,aren’t they?M:I suppose they are,but they can also be beautiful.Tell you what,why don’t you come along with me to the meeting tonight?They’ll be showing pictures that we took in a cave last weekend.You’ll see some unbelievable rocks.It might change the way you think about caves.(Text 10)I’m writing to you about the Teacher-Who-Made-a-Difference contest.I think Ms Wells should be the winner of the contest.Ms Wells has done so much for all of her students;this is the least I can do for her.First of all,Ms Wells is helpful.She’s willing to help anyone in the classroom who needs help.My teacher always helps us with worksheets.In addition,Ms Wells is a kind person.Not only is she kind to kids,but she’s also kind to other teachers and parents.She is always thoughtful and considerate.Lastly,Ms Wells devotes her time to kids.She devotes her lunch time to Student Council,which meets in her room.Last fall,Ms Wells promised me that she would come to one of my soccer games.Guess what?She did,even though she had a lot of school stuff to do and had to leave for Chicago.In conclusion,I think Ms Wells should be the winner of the contest.I know you will agree with me that Ms Wells is a teacher who made a difference.She’s the best!Sincerely,Melissa1~5 BBCAC 6~10 ABCAC11~15 BBBAC 16~20

With high wind howling around,we ascended the steep rock and waded the winding stream.It was almost impossible for a 12-year-old boy to overcome such a harsh condition.To my utter astonishment,he eventually managed to challenge himself to reach the destination and his spirits never sank despite his sore legs and minor bruises.Bathed in the warm sunshine,Kai skipped with extreme excitement and shared everything novel with me along the Colorado River.After the backpacking trip,I also wrote a note to my son. The note said “It’s not only a physically demanding adventure but also a spiritually rewarding experience.I’m delighted that we are both wild enough and enjoy this lifetime trip.” Although Kai is only an immature boy that may just focus on the gorgeous scenery,I still believe that when he gradually grows up,he will genuinely realize that the adventure imparts the courage and consistent beliefs to him to face the stormy passage.　　The Yellow River basin(流域) has an extraordinary landscape and cultural relics(文化遗产).Along the river path,there are 20 World Heritage Sites,more than 300,000 non-movable cultural relics,649 national cultural heritages,47 national tourism demonstration areas and 84 national top tourist attractions.The Ministry of Culture and Tourism recently launched 10 themed routed around the Yellow River.Let’s take a look at some of the highlights.Qinghai MuseumThe Museum is especially known for the chipped stone tools from the Paleolithic Age,colored pottery from the Neolithic Age,bronze mirrors and inscriptions from the Han(202 BCE—220 CE)and Tang dynasties(618—907),paper money and stone statues from the Yuan Dynasty(1271—1368),and porcelain and paintings from the Ming(1368—1644)and Qing dynasties(1636—1912).Inner Mongolia MuseumThe museum displays a large number of fossils(化石) from paleontological eras,including dinosaurs from across the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region.There are also 44,000 relics bearing witness to life in ancient times.In particular,Mongolian female clothing from different places and statues as well as religious relics is the biggest attraction for most visitors to the museum.Shanxi MuseumThe museum in Shanxi province houses over 400,000 cultural relics,and has exhibitions that follow history in time order and show highlights of civilization.The exhibits also define the unique contributions Shanxi has made to the 5,000-year evolution of Chinese civilization.地点紧邻郑开大道面积约3000亩特色展园(exhibition park)94个,各类灌木(shrub)、花卉700余种,共63.5万株活动欣赏灯光绚丽的音乐喷泉,了解绿植知识等宗旨展示环保方面取得的成就,倡导绿色生活
