一、阅读理解
A
Train travel is becoming more popular. Amtrak, the US. national passenger rail company, reports that rider ship(公共交通工具的客流量) continues to grow each year. The passenger kilometres and numbers of passenger journeys are also increasing. There’s every reason to believe train travel will continue to attract more passengers as fuel prices climb.
As you plan your vacation, you’ll need to consider the advantages and disadvantages of train travel. Here are some things that you need to keep in mind.
Train travel is fast and direct between major cities, especially in countries with high-speed trains. It’s relatively easy to book a train trip. In many countries, you can book your tickets online or go to a train station to buy them. For single or couple travelers, travelling by train can be much less expensive than renting a car, especially when you consider the cost of fuel and tolls (通行费).
However, train schedules may not match your preferred travel times and days, so you might have to change your trip. This is especially true for long-distance train travel in the US. You may have to get off the train at midnight in a small station in an empty town in order to make a train connection.
You need to bring your own food and drink onto the train as the food and drink served on trains can be expensive. Conditions on the train may be crowded, dirty or uncomfortable, especially at busy travel times or in developing countries.
In the end, you’ll need to do some research on train ticket prices, check schedules against your own plan and weigh the advantages and disadvantages of train travel against your personal preferences.

Santiago has visited Machu Picchu many times and knows the best time to arrive. This is before the first train of the day arrives from Ollantaytambo. We boarded our bus and headed up the mountain! As we climbed and climbed, it was easy to imagine how the Spanish failed to discover Machu Picchu during their travels up and down along the Urubamba River far below. The site sits over 7,000 feet high on a mountain top and plants hide it from view.
In the early 1900s, the site was not as much rediscovered as it was made famous by Hiram Bingham, an explorer who was looking for the hidden city of the Incas. In fact, local farmers were using part of Machu Picchu to grow food at the time. No one knows for sure what Machu Picchu was used for or when and why the site was abandoned(遗弃). These questions will likely never be answered. However, what is known for sure is that it was an amazing creation!
As we entered Machu Picchu, we had an opportunity to take the famous “postcard picture” thanks to Santiago. There wasn’t one question that he did not have an answer for. He seemed very conscious(有意识的)of our limited time and wanted to make sure we got the most out of our visit. We had a chance to visit an ancient drawbridge(开合桥). This tested my fear of heights as the drop-off at some points was close to 2,000 feet straight down. In fact, the trail became too dangerous to go any further so we made our way back to the main site and had plenty of time to take great photos there.
After Santiago was satisfied we had seen much as we could, we took the bus back to Aguas Calientes.;
4. Why did the author mention the Spanish in paragraph 1
A.To show that Machu Picchu was difficult to find.
B.To describe how Machu Picchu was damaged.
C.To discuss how valuable Machu Picchu is.
D.To explain why Machu Picchu is attractive.;
5. How does the author describe Machu Picchu
A.It was well protected by local people.
B.It was not as good as she expected.
C.It was hidden by the Incas.
D.It was a great human creation.;
6. When the author stood on the drawbridge, she was probably .
A.tired B.fearful C.excited D.surprised;
7. What can we infer about Santiago
A.He lives in Machu Picchu. B.He knows Machu Picchu well.
C.He comes from Spain. D.He is a local farmer.
C
The San Diego County Water Authority has an unusual plan to use the city’s San Vicente Reservoir(水库)to store solar power. The project could help unlock America’s clean energy future.
Perhaps ten years from now, large underground pipes will connect the lake to a new reservoir built about 1100 feet higher. When the sun is high in the sky, California’s rich solar power will pump (泵水) water into that upper reservoir. When the sun goes down, the force of water would produce 500 megawatts (百万千瓦)of electricity for up to eight hours. “It’s a water battery!” says Neena Kuzmich, director of engineering for the water authority.
The technology that San Diego puts forward is already in use at more than 40 sites in the US. Some of them were built during the 1970s to store electricity produced by nuclear power plants. Now, the need to store power from renewable sources is bringing this old technology back.
Water batteries have many competitors, when it comes to storing energy. However, they have their own advantages. Water batteries are a proven way to store large amounts of power. The San Vicente project would store about as much electricity as the batteries in 50, 000 of Tesla’s Model 3 cars. They also don’t require hard-to-find battery materials. The biggest problem with them is that it is hard to find places to build them. They need a great deal of water, land to build two reservoirs and permission to damage the landscape.
Kelly Catlett, director of an environmental organization, says, “We won’t support projects that build new damns on rivers and damage ecosystems. But San Diego’s plan looks like something different, because it uses an existing reservoir and doesn’t damage any streams.”;
8. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 2
A.What a water battery is. B.How the project will work.
C.Why reservoirs are needed. D.What the clean energy future is.;
9. What is the advantage of water batteries over their competitors
A.They can power Tesla’s cars.
B.They can store renewable sources.
C.The battery materials are easy to get.
D.The technology applied is a new breakthrough.;
10. What is the biggest challenge for water batteries
A.Damage caused to nature. B.The shortage of solar power.
C.Limited ability to store energy. D.Proper places for construction.;
11. What is Kelly Catlett’s attitude towards the project
A.Unconcerned. B.Worried. C.Supportive. D.Doubtful.
二、七选五阅读
It’s a nightmare having to wait for exam results. 12 If you’re stressed out after taking your exams, don’t worry! There are some steps you can take to calm down and reduce your stress.
Take some deep breaths. Stress and anxiety can trigger your body’s “fight or flight” response, making your breaths shallow and rapid. 13 Put one hand on your chest and the other on your abdomen (腹部). As you breathe, you should feel your abdomen expand along with your chest.
Try not to go over the exam in depth straight afterwards. Some people find it comforting to talk to friends a little about what they wrote. However, it only makes you worry about the answers you can’t change. It is also a bad idea because your brain does not perform well under stressful conditions. You will be unable to think clearly right after a stressful exam. 14
Get some exercise to relax. You might not feel like hitting the gym or going for a run directly after an exam, but getting some moderate physical activity is a great way to reduce stress! 15 If you’re stressed out over your exam, try doing exercise like jogging, cycling or even a quick walk. Regular exercise has been shown to decrease tension and improve your sleep.
16 Regardless of your results, you should celebrate the fact that you have worked hard on your exams. Reward yourself by doing something you enjoy. If you can do it with friends, all the better. Studies have shown that spending time with friends and loved ones is an excellent way to relieve stress and promote a sense of calm and well-being.
A.Spend time with positive people.
B.Do something enjoyable to relax.
C.Fight this stress response by taking deep breaths.
D.You may feel like you perform much worse than you actually do.
E.The situation will be worse if you’re not sure of your performance.
F.Whatever makes you laugh will help you sort out your post-exam stress.
G.It can produce endorphins (内啡肽), which are natural painkillers that boost your mood.

五、读后续写
32. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I used to be very active in sports and games when I was in primary school. I won the long jump and was a fairly good runner. As a result, I was chosen to represent the school in the long jump and relay events at the District Sports Meet.
The meeting lasted two days. I had no events scheduled for the first day. So I kept myself busy by watching the others compete.
The next day, I was getting ready for my events. The long jump was scheduled for the early afternoon, followed by the 4×100 meters relay race later in the afternoon. I thought I was a pretty good jumper, but as the competition began, I realized I was wrong. I was not the best at all. 3.65 meters was not bad. Then there was Typhoon, who jumped over 4 meters! That was quite an achievement for a ten-year-old boy. I thought maybe getting a second place was also acceptable. However, when we finished our jumps, I came in fourth place, just missing out on a medal.
That was disappointing, but I reminded myself that we still had a chance in the 4×100 meters relay, for which I was to run the third leg. The race time arrived. We stepped to our places and prepared for the race. After a minute or so, I heard the starter’s gun go off. My heart beat so fast. When the first runners took off, I watched with held breath as my team runners kept up with the others. They were great! As they got closer, I realized we were almost in first place. I felt my blood began to boil when my teammate passed the baton(接力棒) on to my hand.
注意:1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I took the baton and began my run.
We just accepted it was bad luck.

32. one possible version:
I took the baton and began my run. The air rushed past me as I moved closer to the next runner. Then disaster struck! A boy run across the track into my path suddenly. I couldn’t get away from him. I knocked into him and we both fell. Because I was young, I was able to quickly pick myself up and continue the race. However, the incident cost us valuable time. I handed the baton to the next runner. He ran with all his might, but it was too late. We’d blown our chance at a medal.
We just accepted it was bad luck. We were young at the time and didn’t know what to say. We didn’t even know we could tell the judge about the accident, for which we could at least get some encouragement. I just felt terrible for letting the team down, but what was done was done, and we had no choice but to accept it. Finally, I left the sports meet empty-handed. Anyway, I learned about failure and how to deal with it, and I am grateful for the lessons.
