Text 10
What we have been aware of is that people from Italy speak Italian and people from Russia speak Russian. But have you ever wondered the reason why people speak Spanish in so many South American countries Do you know why the brilliant footballers of Brazil speak Portuguese And why is French the first language of some people in Canada The answer is that all these countries belonged to European empires at one time. The next question is: How did these empires begin To answer that question we have to probably go back to the 15th and 16th centuries, the golden age of European explorers. Although this period is known as the golden age of European explorers, it was not the beginning of European exploration. As you probably know, Marco Polo travelled a long way to China at the end of the 13 century and some people say that the Vikings discovered America long before Columbus set sail in 1492.However, it is during this “golden”period that some famous voyages took place. Columbus' voyage to America is the best known voyage of exploration, but Ferdinand Magellan sailed round the world in this period, and Spanish explorers such as Central and Pizarro reached South America. Cortez defeated the Aztecs in what we now know as Mexico and Pizarro defeated the Incas in what we now know as Peru. The roots of the Spanish empire were established and that is why the Spanish language is so widely spoken in Central and South America today.
17．Why did people speak Spanish in so many South American countries
A．Because these countries belonged to European empires at one time.
B．Because Spanish belonged to European.
C．Because it was the beginning of European exploration.
答案：A
18．When is the golden age of European explorers

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
Here we give you an introduction to several cities in the world that were lost in the past and discovered again after a long time.
Machu Picchu
Machu Picchu is a very mysterious city near the Urubamba Valley in Peru. It was discovered by the historian Hiram Bingham in 1911, and until then, no one knew of its existence. The city has special structures bordered by stone walls. It is said that the Incas built the city and it was abandoned 100 years later. The main reason is unknown, but some people believe it was due to a decreasing population.
Atlantis
It is still in debate whether this city exists in reality. The city first appeared in Plato's fictional work in 360 BC. And since then, so many historians and scientists have been in search of the lost city. It is believed that the city sank into the Atlantic Ocean. But some say it was an island in the Mediterranean, an island in northern Europe, or even in Antarctica.
Mohenjo Daro
Situated in the Indus Valley, the Indus Valley civilization is one of the oldest civilizations. It is believed that the science, art, trade, writing and agriculture of the city was in an advanced form and it had ordered streets and proper drainage systems. The city disappeared because of climate change. It was rediscovered in 1922.
Pompeii
The city, which is situated not far from Rome, was destroyed in AD 79 due to a volcanic eruption (爆发). The entire population was buried under 60 feet of ash. It had around 20，000 inhabitants at that time and the city was a quiet spot for vacation for the upper classes of Romans. After its loss, the ruins were buried and forgotten for 1，700 years before being discovered.

In 1986, thirteen tombs were found in Fangmatan, an area that lies close to the city of Tianshui in China's northwestern Gansu Province. Most were built during the Warring States Periods (475BC－221BC). The tombs were located in Gui County, which lay within the territory of the state of Qin.
What the archaeologists found in one of the tombs was quite a surprise—seven maps that, through a fortunate coincidence, had survived for more than 2，200 years. This early date makes them the oldest known surviving maps from China.
After two years of difficult work, specialists managed to restore the maps and bring all their details back to light. The seven maps were drawn with black ink on four rectangular slabs (平板) of pine wood. The pieces all measured almost the same size. Each is about 10.5 inches long, 7.13 inches wide, and 0.43 inch thick.
These maps offer positive proof of how advanced the art and science of mapping was in China at the time. They include information about both the administration and the geography of Gui County. They also include the longitude and latitude of the area, as well as the most characteristic elements that are marked on today's maps. Less important areas are simply named and have no lines drawn around them. Also labeled on these maps are roads, mountains, and rivers.
When you take a closer look, you will note another fascinating feature. The forests in Gui County are also defined. Interestingly, we can even recognize markings that describe the types and sizes of the timber (木材) to be found in the several areas. This information offers valuable insights into what the local plant life looked like during that time.
But that is not all. In some cases, even the distances from the forests to the settlements are marked. Can you guess why？Well, timber was an important commodity (商品), and it had to be transported. The Fangmatan maps include everything that was necessary for the organization of such journeys and business dealings. Taking all this into consideration, they clearly served as economic maps for traders.

According to the Global Maritime Wrecks Database, the ocean's bottom hosts over 250，000 shipwrecks (沉船), from 2，200 BCE to today, but UNESCO believes there could be as many as three million, largely undiscovered.
Wrecks offer historical insights, relics, metals for reuse, and potential treasures. The Colombian government is working out the best way to raise the San Jose, an 18th century Spanish sailboat that sank within the country's waters, having invested $3.5 million in conservation. But some scientists believe that shipwrecks are just as valuable when left at the bottom of the sea.
A shipwreck contains history and becomes part of the ocean, influenced by nature. It's like a museum piece interacting with its surroundings. Shipwrecks help us see how oceans and coasts change. In the Mississippi delta, they track dangerous mudslides affecting oil facilities and pipelines. A sunken tanker near Louisiana moved 11km over 80 years due to mud. Shipwrecks also show how sea life might live around new underwater structures. They create homes for sea animals, with some having more diversity than natural reefs. Meyer Kaiser says any man made object in water becomes a habitat, though some might not be as good for sea creatures.
Ocean currents, warming waters, and invasive species can be risks to shipwrecks. To prevent unauthorized exploration, the locations of more than 200 shipwrecks have largely been kept secret. Meyer Kaiser says she had to sign a non disclosure agreement (保密协议) to study them. However, Meyer Kaiser's research suggests that another activity could be causing much more damage: commercial fishing. In response, a pilot project called the Shipwreck Avoidance Program was launched, showing promising results.
篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了海底沉船的价值及对其采取的保护措施。
28．What do some scientists probably agree with according to Paragraph 2
A．Underwater shipwrecks should also be valued.
B．The San Jose sailboat is worth the investment.
C．Shipwrecks are more valuable than potential treasures.
D．The Colombian government thinks little of shipwrecks.
答案：A
解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中的“But some scientists believe that ... at the bottom of the sea.(但一些科学家认为，留在海底的沉船同样有价值。)”可知，科学家认为水下沉船也应该受到重视。故选A。
29．What does Paragraph 3 focus on
A．The history of shipwrecks.
B．The interaction with nature.
C．The habitat for sea creatures.
D．The significance of shipwrecks.
答案：D
解析：段落大意题。根据第三段可知，沉船承载着历史，受到自然的影响，成为海洋的一部分。它就像一件博物馆的展品，与周围的环境相互影响。沉船帮助我们了解海洋和海岸是如何变化的。沉船为海洋动物创造了家园，其中一些比天然珊瑚礁更具多样性。由此可知，本段主要是关于沉船的重要性。故选D。
30．What has been done to protect shipwrecks
A．Removing invasive creatures.
B．Stopping exploring shipwrecks.
C．Agreeing to prevent further damage.
D．Conducting the Shipwreck Avoidance Program.
答案：D

The world's forests may hold more secrets than previously thought: a new global estimate of tree biodiversity suggests that there are about 9，200 tree species remaining undocumented. Most are likely in the tropics, according to the new research.
The new research drew on the efforts of hundreds of contributors, who have categorized trees in two huge data sets: One, the Global Forest Biodiversity Initiative, records every species found in extensively documented forest plots worldwide. The other, TREECHANGE, puts together sightings of individual species. Together they suggest there are approximately 64，100 recorded tree species on the planet—up from previous estimates of around 60，000.
The researchers reached their estimate of an additional 9，200 yet undocumented species on the basis of the number of rare ones already in the databases. Most unknown species are likely to be defined as rare, found in limited numbers in small geographical areas, says the quantitative forest ecologist Jingjing Liang. The team's result is “a rather conservative estimate，” Liang says, “because scientists know less about the preponderance of uncommon trees in places such as the Amazon, where out of the way spots could host pockets of unusual species found nowhere else.” “If we can focus the resources on those rain forests in the Amazon，” Liang adds, “then we would be able to estimate it with higher confidence.”
Silman, a conservation biologist, who was not involved in the new study agrees that the study result is likely an underestimate. His and his colleagues' local surveys suggest there are at least 3，000 and possibly more than 6，000 unknown tree species in the Amazon basin alone. Tree species often get grouped together based on appearance, he notes, so new genetic analysis techniques will likely lead to the discovery of even more biodiversity. Silman wonders how many species will go extinct before scientists describe them. “How many are already known to native peoples in the Amazon—or were known to peoples or cultures who have themselves been made extinct through colonization, disease, or absorption How many ‘species’ already have dried samples sitting in a cabinet？” he says.
Searching for the new species will inform not only conservation but the basic evolutionary science of how and why species diversify and die out, Silman says. “Just the fact that there are thousands of species of something as common as trees out there that are still left to be discovered，” he adds, “I find pretty inspirational.”
篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。新的研究表明，全球有许多不知名的树种等待人们去发现，这一发现也令生物学家们倍受鼓舞。
32．What is the finding of the new research
A．Maintaining tree diversity has become a global challenge.
B．About nine thousand new tree species have been identified.
C．Thousands of tree species remain unknown to science.
D．Human activities have led to the reduced number of trees.
答案：C
解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中的“The world's forests ... about 9，200 tree species remaining undocumented.”可知，该项新研究发现仍有成千上万的树种不为科学所知。故选C。
33．What can be learned about the research method
A．The researchers adopted quality method to analyze data.
B．The researchers did extensive field study in out of the way spots.
C．Doing surveys and interviews is the main research method.
D．Inferring from the existing data is the main research method.
答案：D
解析：推理判断题。根据第二段中的“The new research ... huge data sets (这项新研究借鉴了数百名贡献者的努力，他们将树木分为两大数据集)”和第三段中的“The researchers reached ... in the databases.(根据数据库中已有的稀有物种的数量，研究人员得出了他们对另外9，200个尚未记录的物种的估计。)”可推知，该研究的主要方法是从已有的数据中进行推断得出结论。故选D。
34．The underlined word “preponderance” in Paragraph 3 can be replaced by ________．
A．majority B．duration
C．cultivation D．capacity
答案：A
解析：词义猜测题。根据画线词后文“such as the Amazon ... found nowhere else”可知，这里举例说明在亚马逊雨林中有很多科学家们没见过、不了解的树种，所以他们对这里大多数不常见的树木都知之甚少，画线词所在短语the preponderance of表示“大多数”，与the majority of同义，故preponderance可用majority代替。故选A。
35．According to Silman, one of the reasons for the underestimate of the tree species may be that ________．
A．genetic analysis technique failed to produce accurate information
B．even the local peoples or the local cultures are not fully aware of the tree species
C．trees of similar sizes in the Amazon basin are grouped together
D．too many rare trees were made into dried samples before being documented
答案：B
解析：推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“Silman wonders how many species ... he says.”可知，Silman (西尔曼)认为当地人民或文化也不完全了解这些树种，由此可推知，Silman认为这也是树种数量被低估的一个原因。故选B。
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。
People all around the world have enjoyed noodles for thousands of years. __36__ People first started growing wheat and making flour in the Middle East around 10，000 years ago. But no one had ever found a prehistoric noodle—until 2002.
Archaeologists discovered an upside down clay bowl in the ruins of an ancient Chinese village. __37__ This “mummy” noodle was made from millet. Traders brought wheat to China about the time this ancient noodle was cooked.
Some people claim that Marco Polo brought pasta to Italy. The tale says that when he visited China, he tried noodles for the first time and liked them so much that he took the recipe home. __38__ In fact, it was likely made up by an American magazine to try to get Americans to eat more pasta.
__39__ The oldest written mention of pasta outside China comes from the Middle East, about 1，600 years ago. The text describes how to eat dried noodles, a popular travel food in the Middle East and Central Asia. Dried noodles were perfect for long trips. __40__ Some historians believe that dried noodles spread out from the Middle East or Central Asia. Traders packed their noodles and travelled to other parts of the world. Wherever they got the recipe, Italians were eating pasta long before Marco Polo.
So who REALLY invented noodles We may never know—the history of noodles is as twisted as a bowl of spaghetti. But whoever invented them, we're sure glad they did!
A．Who made the very first noodle
B．But it is probably not true!
C．Who planted wheat first
D．They were tasty, easy to carry, and never went bad.
E．When they lifted it, they found a 4，000 year old noodle.
F．However, dried noodles have many disadvantages.
G．So, if Marco Polo did not bring noodles to Italy, who did
篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了考古学家对于谁是第一个发明面条的人进行探索研究。
36．答案：A
解析：根据前文“People all around the world have enjoyed noodles for thousands of years.(世界各地的人们吃面条已经有几千年的历史了。)”和后文“But no one had ever found a prehistoric noodle—until 2002.(但直到2002年，还没有人发现过史前面条。)”可知，A项(第一根面条是谁做的？)承前启后。故选A。
37．答案：E
解析：根据前文“Archaeologists discovered an upside down clay bowl in the ruins of an ancient Chinese village.”以及后文“This ‘mummy’ noodle was made from millet.”可知，E项(当他们把它拿起来的时候，他们发现了一根有4，000年历史的面条。)承前启后，且E项中的they指代前文的Archaeologists；it指代前文中的an upside down clay bowl。故选E。
38．答案：B
解析：根据后文“In fact, it was likely made up by an American magazine to try to get Americans to eat more pasta.”中的“In fact”可知，前文的说法是假的，因此B项(但这可能不是真的！)承前启后。故选B。
39．答案：G
解析：根据后文“Wherever they got the recipe, Italians were eating pasta long before Marco Polo.”可知，本段是在探讨是谁将面条带到了意大利。G项(那么，如果不是马可波罗把面条带到了意大利，那是谁呢？)引出后文。故选G。
40．答案：D
解析：根据前文“Dried noodles were perfect for long trips.”可知，干面条是长途旅行的最佳选择。D项(它们很好吃，便于携带，而且从不变质。)承接前文，对前文作出解释。故选D。

第二节(共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分)
阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
The problem with __56__ (learn) history by key dates and moments is that it gives us a spotlit view of the past—bright stars of major events twinkling against a giant—but dark and mysterious night sky of history. __57__ a result, we lose the sense of the context of major events, and the ways in __58__ our history—and our world—have been, and still are, connected.
So we set out to find out __59__ was happening elsewhere on October 14, 1066 as the Battle of Hastings was raging.
The Norman knights were also expanding into Sicily and mainland Italy, while the migration of Seljuk Turks from Central Asia was about to threaten the Byzantine Empire, __60__ (eventual) leading to the call for the First Crusade.
But my __61__ (favor) moment in 1066 is from China, where Sima Guang began writing his monumental history of China, __62__ (know) as the Comprehensive Mirror to Aid in Government.
Frances Wood, a former head of the Chinese section at the British Library __63__ (dig) out an early manuscript of this work. Wood explained how this history __64__ (suppose) to be of use to those in charge—by setting in context the __65__ (decide) made by China's leaders in centuries past (403BC－207BC) and by analyzing the moral virtues of their actions.
56．______　57.______　58.______　59.______　60．______　61.______　62.______　63.______　64．______　65.______
篇章导读：本文是一篇议论文。文章讨论了通过关键日期和重大事件学习历史的局限性，指出这种学习方式可能会导致忽略历史事件之间的联系和背景，并强调了全面理解历史脉络的重要性。
56．答案：learning
解析：考查非谓语动词。此处应用learn的动名词形式，作介词with的宾语。故填learning。
57．答案：As
解析：考查介词。as a result为固定短语，意为“结果”，位于句首，单词首字母应大写。故填As。
58．答案：which
解析：考查定语从句的引导词。此处为“介词＋关系代词”引导的定语从句，先行词是the ways，指物，关系词代替先行词在从句中作介词in的宾语，应用which引导。故填which。
59．答案：what
解析：考查宾语从句的连接词。设空处引导宾语从句，从句中缺少主语，且指代发生的事件，应用连接代词what引导。故填what。
60．答案：eventually

61．答案：favorite

62．答案：known
解析：考查非谓语动词。where引导的定语从句谓语为began，此处应用非谓语动词，his monumental history of China与know为被动关系，应用过去分词作后置定语，修饰名词history。故填known。
63．答案：dug
解析：考查动词的时态。根据下文的explained可知，此处应用一般过去时。故填dug。
64．答案：was supposed
解析：考查动词的时态和主谓一致。be supposed to do sth为固定搭配，意为“应该/被期望做某事”，根据句中的explained可知，此处应用一般过去时，主语this history是第三人称单数，be动词应用was。故填was supposed。
65．答案：decisions
解析：考查词性转换。根据定冠词the和设空后的made by China's leaders可知，此处指多个决定，应用可数名词decision的复数形式。故填decisions。

第二节(满分25分)
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。
Agatha was in the library, reading the Girl Detective series, when she noticed something strange. Her best friends, Timmy and Florence, were talking to each other in whispers while keeping a good, safe distance from her! When she waved at them, they looked away.
Things only got stranger in art class. Timmy and Florence went to sit at a different table from Agatha busy painting and glanced at her when they thought she wasn't looking.
Now, Agatha considered herself to be something of a detective. After all, she had read many detective stories for children and even had an old broken magnifying glass (放大镜) abandoned by her father. When the rest of the class went out for lunch, she slipped to Timmy and Florence's table and examined it carefully with the magnifying glass.
There was paint, and red and pink construction paper. What could they be doing This was definitely a mystery that needed solving!
After lunch Timmy and Florence chatted to her as if nothing was going on, but they kept smiling at her in a slightly strange way. Of course, Agatha could have asked them what they were up to, and they might have told her—but she wouldn't have a chance to become a detective!
On the way home from school, Florence and her mum happened to walk ahead of Agatha and her mum. Agatha saw them go into the bookshop. Strange, again. Florence didn't read much—no matter how many detective stories Agatha recommended to her!
The next day at school, Agatha kept an eye on her friends and tried to work out their mystery, but they seemed determined to keep things secret. She asked them if they would like to play with her after school, but they said they couldn't because they were busy. Even more mysterious ...
When Agatha's mum came to pick her up after school, she was so lost in the unsolved mystery that she hardly noticed her busy father was coming along, which was unusual. When they arrived home, her father said she could go into the living room.
注意：
1．续写词数应为150个左右；
2．请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Opening the door of the living room, Agatha heard voices shout from darkness, “SURPRISE！”．　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 After eating the cake, Agatha got down to the business of opening her birthday presents.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
写前导读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Agatha (阿加莎)是一个喜欢读侦探小说的小女孩。有一天，她注意到她的两个最好的朋友Timmy (蒂米)和Florence (弗洛伦斯)奇怪而神秘的行为。她决定像侦探一样展开调查。在打开客厅门的那一刻发生了什么？Agatha又得到了什么礼物？
[精彩范文]
Opening the door of the living room, Agatha heard voices shout from darkness, “SURPRISE！”. When she entered the darkened living room, the lights came on suddenly. Her best friend Timmy and Florence were there, grinning! On the table were a cake with candles and a pile of presents. Mum and Dad followed her into the living room and lit the candles, saying: “Happy Birthday, dear. You were so distracted by the mystery to be solved as to forget today is your birthday! Now, blow the candles, make a wish and enjoy the cake.”
After eating the cake, Agatha got down to the business of opening her birthday presents. The first gift was the big red and pink birthday card with “HAPPY BIRTHDAY” written on it in Timmy and Florence's childish handwriting. “We hope you like the card we made for you！” said Timmy, and Florence added, “We also bought the latest Sherlock Holmes Detective series for you！” Agatha hugged her friends in appreciation of their surprise gifts. Mum and Dad handed her a brand new magnifying glass in place of the old broken one. Agatha might not have solved the mystery, but it was still a wonderful birthday party!

What we have been aware of is that people from Italy speak Italian and people from Russia speak Russian. But have you ever wondered the reason why people speak Spanish in so many South American countries Do you know why the brilliant footballers of Brazil speak Portuguese And why is French the first language of some people in Canada The answer is that all these countries belonged to European empires at one time. The next question is: How did these empires begin To answer that question we have to probably go back to the 15th and 16th centuries, the golden age of European explorers.
Although this period is known as the golden age of European explorers, it was not the beginning of European exploration. As you probably know, Marco Polo travelled a long way to China at the end of the 13 century and some people say that the Vikings discovered America long before Columbus set sail in 1492.However, it is during this “golden”period that some famous voyages took place. Columbus' voyage to America is the best known voyage of exploration, but Ferdinand Magellan sailed round the world in this period, and Spanish explorers such as Central and Pizarro reached South America. Cortez defeated the Aztecs in what we now know as Mexico and Pizarro defeated the Incas in what we now know as Peru. The roots of the Spanish empire were established and that is why the Spanish language is so widely spoken in Central and South America today.
17．Why did people speak Spanish in so many South American countries
A．Because these countries belonged to European empires at one time.
B．Because Spanish belonged to European.
C．Because it was the beginning of European exploration.
18．When is the golden age of European explorers
A．The 15th century.
B．The 16th century.
C．The 15th and 16th centuries.
19．Which is not the voyage of exploration taking place during the golden period
A．Columbus sailed to America.
B．Marco Polo travelled to China.
C．Ferdinand Magellan voyaged round the world.
20．Who defeated the Aztecs in what we now know as Mexico
A．Pizarro. B．Cortez.
C．Columbus.

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
Here we give you an introduction to several cities in the world that were lost in the past and discovered again after a long time.
Machu Picchu
Machu Picchu is a very mysterious city near the Urubamba Valley in Peru. It was discovered by the historian Hiram Bingham in 1911, and until then, no one knew of its existence. The city has special structures bordered by stone walls. It is said that the Incas built the city and it was abandoned 100 years later. The main reason is unknown, but some people believe it was due to a decreasing population.
Atlantis
It is still in debate whether this city exists in reality. The city first appeared in Plato's fictional work in 360 BC. And since then, so many historians and scientists have been in search of the lost city. It is believed that the city sank into the Atlantic Ocean. But some say it was an island in the Mediterranean, an island in northern Europe, or even in Antarctica.
Mohenjo Daro
Situated in the Indus Valley, the Indus Valley civilization is one of the oldest civilizations. It is believed that the science, art, trade, writing and agriculture of the city was in an advanced form and it had ordered streets and proper drainage systems. The city disappeared because of climate change. It was rediscovered in 1922.
Pompeii
The city, which is situated not far from Rome, was destroyed in AD 79 due to a volcanic eruption (爆发). The entire population was buried under 60 feet of ash. It had around 20，000 inhabitants at that time and the city was a quiet spot for vacation for the upper classes of Romans. After its loss, the ruins were buried and forgotten for 1，700 years before being discovered.
篇章导读：本文是一篇应用文。文章分别介绍了四个失落之城：马丘比丘、亚特兰蒂斯、摩亨佐达罗城和庞贝古城。

D．Years of war.

23．What is special about Pompeii

C．It was an advanced city in terms of urban planning.

In 1986, thirteen tombs were found in Fangmatan, an area that lies close to the city of Tianshui in China's northwestern Gansu Province. Most were built during the Warring States Periods (475BC－221BC). The tombs were located in Gui County, which lay within the territory of the state of Qin.
What the archaeologists found in one of the tombs was quite a surprise—seven maps that, through a fortunate coincidence, had survived for more than 2，200 years. This early date makes them the oldest known surviving maps from China.
After two years of difficult work, specialists managed to restore the maps and bring all their details back to light. The seven maps were drawn with black ink on four rectangular slabs (平板) of pine wood. The pieces all measured almost the same size. Each is about 10.5 inches long, 7.13 inches wide, and 0.43 inch thick.
These maps offer positive proof of how advanced the art and science of mapping was in China at the time. They include information about both the administration and the geography of Gui County. They also include the longitude and latitude of the area, as well as the most characteristic elements that are marked on today's maps. Less important areas are simply named and have no lines drawn around them. Also labeled on these maps are roads, mountains, and rivers.
When you take a closer look, you will note another fascinating feature. The forests in Gui County are also defined. Interestingly, we can even recognize markings that describe the types and sizes of the timber (木材) to be found in the several areas. This information offers valuable insights into what the local plant life looked like during that time.
But that is not all. In some cases, even the distances from the forests to the settlements are marked. Can you guess why？Well, timber was an important commodity (商品), and it had to be transported. The Fangmatan maps include everything that was necessary for the organization of such journeys and business dealings. Taking all this into consideration, they clearly served as economic maps for traders.
篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了在中国甘肃省放马滩的陵墓中发现了已知现存最古老的中国地图。文章主要对这些地图进行了详细描述。
24．What is Paragraph 3 mainly about
A．The function of the maps.

According to the Global Maritime Wrecks Database, the ocean's bottom hosts over 250，000 shipwrecks (沉船), from 2，200 BCE to today, but UNESCO believes there could be as many as three million, largely undiscovered.
Wrecks offer historical insights, relics, metals for reuse, and potential treasures. The Colombian government is working out the best way to raise the San Jose, an 18th century Spanish sailboat that sank within the country's waters, having invested $3.5 million in conservation. But some scientists believe that shipwrecks are just as valuable when left at the bottom of the sea.
A shipwreck contains history and becomes part of the ocean, influenced by nature. It's like a museum piece interacting with its surroundings. Shipwrecks help us see how oceans and coasts change. In the Mississippi delta, they track dangerous mudslides affecting oil facilities and pipelines. A sunken tanker near Louisiana moved 11km over 80 years due to mud. Shipwrecks also show how sea life might live around new underwater structures. They create homes for sea animals, with some having more diversity than natural reefs. Meyer Kaiser says any man made object in water becomes a habitat, though some might not be as good for sea creatures.
Ocean currents, warming waters, and invasive species can be risks to shipwrecks. To prevent unauthorized exploration, the locations of more than 200 shipwrecks have largely been kept secret. Meyer Kaiser says she had to sign a non disclosure agreement (保密协议) to study them. However, Meyer Kaiser's research suggests that another activity could be causing much more damage: commercial fishing. In response, a pilot project called the Shipwreck Avoidance Program was launched, showing promising results.
篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了海底沉船的价值及对其采取的保护措施。
28．What do some scientists probably agree with according to Paragraph 2
A．Underwater shipwrecks should also be valued.
B．The San Jose sailboat is worth the investment.
C．Shipwrecks are more valuable than potential treasures.
D．The Colombian government thinks little of shipwrecks.
解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中的“But some scientists believe that ... at the bottom of the sea.(但一些科学家认为，留在海底的沉船同样有价值。)”可知，科学家认为水下沉船也应该受到重视。故选A。
29．What does Paragraph 3 focus on
A．The history of shipwrecks.
B．The interaction with nature.
C．The habitat for sea creatures.
D．The significance of shipwrecks.
解析：段落大意题。根据第三段可知，沉船承载着历史，受到自然的影响，成为海洋的一部分。它就像一件博物馆的展品，与周围的环境相互影响。沉船帮助我们了解海洋和海岸是如何变化的。沉船为海洋动物创造了家园，其中一些比天然珊瑚礁更具多样性。由此可知，本段主要是关于沉船的重要性。故选D。

The world's forests may hold more secrets than previously thought: a new global estimate of tree biodiversity suggests that there are about 9，200 tree species remaining undocumented. Most are likely in the tropics, according to the new research.
The new research drew on the efforts of hundreds of contributors, who have categorized trees in two huge data sets: One, the Global Forest Biodiversity Initiative, records every species found in extensively documented forest plots worldwide. The other, TREECHANGE, puts together sightings of individual species. Together they suggest there are approximately 64，100 recorded tree species on the planet—up from previous estimates of around 60，000.
The researchers reached their estimate of an additional 9，200 yet undocumented species on the basis of the number of rare ones already in the databases. Most unknown species are likely to be defined as rare, found in limited numbers in small geographical areas, says the quantitative forest ecologist Jingjing Liang. The team's result is “a rather conservative estimate，” Liang says, “because scientists know less about the preponderance of uncommon trees in places such as the Amazon, where out of the way spots could host pockets of unusual species found nowhere else.” “If we can focus the resources on those rain forests in the Amazon，” Liang adds, “then we would be able to estimate it with higher confidence.”
Silman, a conservation biologist, who was not involved in the new study agrees that the study result is likely an underestimate. His and his colleagues' local surveys suggest there are at least 3，000 and possibly more than 6，000 unknown tree species in the Amazon basin alone. Tree species often get grouped together based on appearance, he notes, so new genetic analysis techniques will likely lead to the discovery of even more biodiversity. Silman wonders how many species will go extinct before scientists describe them. “How many are already known to native peoples in the Amazon—or were known to peoples or cultures who have themselves been made extinct through colonization, disease, or absorption How many ‘species’ already have dried samples sitting in a cabinet？” he says.
Searching for the new species will inform not only conservation but the basic evolutionary science of how and why species diversify and die out, Silman says. “Just the fact that there are thousands of species of something as common as trees out there that are still left to be discovered，” he adds, “I find pretty inspirational.”
篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。新的研究表明，全球有许多不知名的树种等待人们去发现，这一发现也令生物学家们倍受鼓舞。
32．What is the finding of the new research
A．Maintaining tree diversity has become a global challenge.
B．About nine thousand new tree species have been identified.
C．Thousands of tree species remain unknown to science.
D．Human activities have led to the reduced number of trees.
解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中的“The world's forests ... about 9，200 tree species remaining undocumented.”可知，该项新研究发现仍有成千上万的树种不为科学所知。故选C。
33．What can be learned about the research method
A．The researchers adopted quality method to analyze data.
B．The researchers did extensive field study in out of the way spots.
C．Doing surveys and interviews is the main research method.
D．Inferring from the existing data is the main research method.
解析：推理判断题。根据第二段中的“The new research ... huge data sets (这项新研究借鉴了数百名贡献者的努力，他们将树木分为两大数据集)”和第三段中的“The researchers reached ... in the databases.(根据数据库中已有的稀有物种的数量，研究人员得出了他们对另外9，200个尚未记录的物种的估计。)”可推知，该研究的主要方法是从已有的数据中进行推断得出结论。故选D。
34．The underlined word “preponderance” in Paragraph 3 can be replaced by ________．
A．majority B．duration
C．cultivation D．capacity
解析：词义猜测题。根据画线词后文“such as the Amazon ... found nowhere else”可知，这里举例说明在亚马逊雨林中有很多科学家们没见过、不了解的树种，所以他们对这里大多数不常见的树木都知之甚少，画线词所在短语the preponderance of表示“大多数”，与the majority of同义，故preponderance可用majority代替。故选A。
35．According to Silman, one of the reasons for the underestimate of the tree species may be that ________．
A．genetic analysis technique failed to produce accurate information
B．even the local peoples or the local cultures are not fully aware of the tree species
C．trees of similar sizes in the Amazon basin are grouped together
D．too many rare trees were made into dried samples before being documented
解析：推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“Silman wonders how many species ... he says.”可知，Silman (西尔曼)认为当地人民或文化也不完全了解这些树种，由此可推知，Silman认为这也是树种数量被低估的一个原因。故选B。

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。
People all around the world have enjoyed noodles for thousands of years. __36__ People first started growing wheat and making flour in the Middle East around 10，000 years ago. But no one had ever found a prehistoric noodle—until 2002.
Archaeologists discovered an upside down clay bowl in the ruins of an ancient Chinese village. __37__ This “mummy” noodle was made from millet. Traders brought wheat to China about the time this ancient noodle was cooked.
Some people claim that Marco Polo brought pasta to Italy. The tale says that when he visited China, he tried noodles for the first time and liked them so much that he took the recipe home. __38__ In fact, it was likely made up by an American magazine to try to get Americans to eat more pasta.
__39__ The oldest written mention of pasta outside China comes from the Middle East, about 1，600 years ago. The text describes how to eat dried noodles, a popular travel food in the Middle East and Central Asia. Dried noodles were perfect for long trips. __40__ Some historians believe that dried noodles spread out from the Middle East or Central Asia. Traders packed their noodles and travelled to other parts of the world. Wherever they got the recipe, Italians were eating pasta long before Marco Polo.
So who REALLY invented noodles We may never know—the history of noodles is as twisted as a bowl of spaghetti. But whoever invented them, we're sure glad they did!
A．Who made the very first noodle
B．But it is probably not true!
C．Who planted wheat first
D．They were tasty, easy to carry, and never went bad.
E．When they lifted it, they found a 4，000 year old noodle.
F．However, dried noodles have many disadvantages.

第二节(满分25分)
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。
Agatha was in the library, reading the Girl Detective series, when she noticed something strange. Her best friends, Timmy and Florence, were talking to each other in whispers while keeping a good, safe distance from her! When she waved at them, they looked away.
Things only got stranger in art class. Timmy and Florence went to sit at a different table from Agatha busy painting and glanced at her when they thought she wasn't looking.
Now, Agatha considered herself to be something of a detective. After all, she had read many detective stories for children and even had an old broken magnifying glass (放大镜) abandoned by her father. When the rest of the class went out for lunch, she slipped to Timmy and Florence's table and examined it carefully with the magnifying glass.
There was paint, and red and pink construction paper. What could they be doing This was definitely a mystery that needed solving!
After lunch Timmy and Florence chatted to her as if nothing was going on, but they kept smiling at her in a slightly strange way. Of course, Agatha could have asked them what they were up to, and they might have told her—but she wouldn't have a chance to become a detective!
On the way home from school, Florence and her mum happened to walk ahead of Agatha and her mum. Agatha saw them go into the bookshop. Strange, again. Florence didn't read much—no matter how many detective stories Agatha recommended to her!
The next day at school, Agatha kept an eye on her friends and tried to work out their mystery, but they seemed determined to keep things secret. She asked them if they would like to play with her after school, but they said they couldn't because they were busy. Even more mysterious ...
When Agatha's mum came to pick her up after school, she was so lost in the unsolved mystery that she hardly noticed her busy father was coming along, which was unusual. When they arrived home, her father said she could go into the living room.
注意：
1．续写词数应为150个左右；
2．请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Opening the door of the living room, Agatha heard voices shout from darkness, “SURPRISE！”．﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍
After eating the cake, Agatha got down to the business of opening her birthday presents.﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍
写前导读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Agatha (阿加莎)是一个喜欢读侦探小说的小女孩。有一天，她注意到她的两个最好的朋友Timmy (蒂米)和Florence (弗洛伦斯)奇怪而神秘的行为。她决定像侦探一样展开调查。在打开客厅门的那一刻发生了什么？Agatha又得到了什么礼物？
[精彩范文]
Opening the door of the living room, Agatha heard voices shout from darkness, “SURPRISE！”. When she entered the darkened living room, the lights came on suddenly. Her best friend Timmy and Florence were there, grinning! On the table were a cake with candles and a pile of presents. Mum and Dad followed her into the living room and lit the candles, saying: “Happy Birthday, dear. You were so distracted by the mystery to be solved as to forget today is your birthday! Now, blow the candles, make a wish and enjoy the cake.”
After eating the cake, Agatha got down to the business of opening her birthday presents. The first gift was the big red and pink birthday card with “HAPPY BIRTHDAY” written on it in Timmy and Florence's childish handwriting. “We hope you like the card we made for you！” said Timmy, and Florence added, “We also bought the latest Sherlock Holmes Detective series for you！” Agatha hugged her friends in appreciation of their surprise gifts. Mum and Dad handed her a brand new magnifying glass in place of the old broken one. Agatha might not have solved the mystery, but it was still a wonderful birthday party!
