China now has 52 sites included on the UNESCO World Heritage list, which was established to safeguard unique and irreplaceable cultural and natural sites around the world. Let’s have a look at some of them, which may give you some clues on your next travel plan.
Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor
The Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor is located in Lintong county, near Xi’an city, capital of Shaanxi province. A total of 8,000 life-size terracotta warriors, chariots and horses, and hundreds of bronze weapons have been unearthed from it. Many state leaders and experts worldwide believe that the discovery of the mausoleum is a major archeological find and can be called the eighth wonder of the world, paralleling Egypt’s pyramids.
Kulangsu, a Historic International Settlement
Gulangyu Island, known in the local dialect as Kulangsu, is located on the entry of the Jiulong River, facing the city of Xiamen. The island was occupied by at least a dozen countries, including Great Britain, France and Japan. As a result, Western culture grew rapidly there in the 19th century, especially music. With such a harmonious blend of Western music and Eastern culture, Gulangyu is naturally referred to as the “island of music”. It is famous for its outstanding musicians and musical instruments.
Qinghai Hoh Xil
Hoh Xil, which means “beautiful girl” in Mongolian, is located in the north-eastern end of the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau. Hoh Xil National Nature Reserve is China’s largest and the world’s third largest uninhabited area. Because of the high altitude and fierce weather, it is impossible for people to live there, and therefore, it is a paradise for wildlife and home to more than 230 species of wild animals including endangered species such as the Tibetan antelope, which is recognized as the National Class I Protected animal.
Huangshan Mountain
Huangshan, known as “the loveliest mountain of China”, lies in the south of Anhui province in eastern China. The scenic area covers 154 sq km, and is famous for its peaks, rocks, pines, clouds and springs. It also has a rich cultural heritage. Xu Xiake, a famous traveler of the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), visited Huangshan twice, and described it in a poem, calling it the best of all mountains in China. Today it holds the same fascination for visitors, poets, painters and photographers.
21．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the text
A．Qinghai Hoh Xil is the largest uninhabited area in the world.
B．Kulangsu was occupied for not less than a dozen years.
C．Mausoleum is located in the capital city of Shaanxi province.
D．Huangshan Mountain is well known for its magnificent scenery.
22．Why is Qinghai Hoh Xil a paradise for wildlife living there
A．Because endangered species are well protected there.
B．Because it is large in size with beautiful scenery.
C．Because it is located on Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau.
D．Because tough weather and environment make no people live there.
23．Where does the passage most probably come from
A．A travel guidebook B．An entertainment magazine
C．A science fiction D．A history textbook

My senior years, I can’t believe it is almost over. Now when I look back, it was stressful, but exciting, the ball, graduation, and then of course, college.
I started applying for my college months before Christmas. My parents told me it would be smart if I set up interviews and tours. But I wasn’t motivated. I wanted to go to college, but I didn’t want to deal with the stress.
As the days flew by, my applications lay on my desk just as I had left them three months before. “You are wasting valuable time,” my parents complained. Sweeping away the gathered dust on the applications, I worked on them every Sunday until I finished. Next came writing the essays. I had many ideas, but every school had different requirements. I changed them until I was pleased. Finally, everything was underway.
Now I just had to wait. In March, I started receiving letters of rejection. I began to think that I had set myself up for disappointment. I had a letter from Salem State College starting that they wanted to see my grades before they made their decision. Yes! At least someone wanted to consider me. At the beginning of April, I received a letter from Keens State. Those opening words: “We regret to inform you…” made me sit down and cry. I had lost all hope. Then I heard from Plymouth State. Not my first choice, but…I had been accepted. Maybe if I get my grades up, I can choose another school…
The college application hurt me deeply. All my friends had dozens of schools to choose from. I guess my parents were right. High school grades are undoubtedly important to your future plans. If I could do it all over again, I would take it more seriously.
24．What does the sentence “We regret to inform you…” mean
A．The writer was accepted by the college.
B．The writer couldn’t go to college forever.
C．The writer couldn’t go to any college.
D．The writer was rejected by the college.
25．From the last paragraph, we know the writer felt ________.
A．honorable B．regretful（遗憾的）
C．hopeless D．happy
26．From the text, we know that ________.
A．the writer didn’t go to a college
B．the writer thought senior years was easy
C．the writer didn’t desire to go to college.
D．the writer didn’t prepare interviews actively
27．Why was the writer rejected by many colleges
A．He didn’t choose a good college.
B．He got bad grades in senior years.
C．He wanted to deal with the stress.
D．Every school had different requirements.
C
Kristen Sorensen was 55 when she became paralyzed from the neck down. Diagnosed in October 2018 with a rare disorder that affects the body's nervous system, she never expected to walk again.
But earlier that year, the Brooks Treatment Center in Florida became the first center to use a unique technology developed in Japan --- the Hybrid Assistive Limb (HAL). HAL, essentially a wearable machine, helps those with spinal cord (脊髓的)injuries and muscular diseases regain their movements and strengthen their nerves and muscles. Known as exoskeletons, they're a type of lightweight suit, with joints powered by small electric motors, that serve as mechanical muscle. Patients use their brain waves to control them.
When Sorensen heard about the brain wave-controlled exoskeleton, she knew she had to place an order and give it a try. A trained nurse helped her fit HAL over her waist and trousers, connecting her to sensors that help pick up faint bio-electric signals on the surface of the skin, which communicate a patient's intention to move. Once HAL receives these signals, it helps support the person's movements.
After some training and efforts, Sorensen was able to walk at her daughter's wedding a few months later in December. It's a thought that Sorensen shares. "When I used HAL, there were people who came from all over the country to use the equipment," she says. "I would like this kind of technology to be more readily available and more accessible especially to those who learn slowly."
But it's not just those with disabilities or injuries who stand to benefit. By 2050, there will be more than 2 billion people over age 60, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), and exoskeletons could offer a solution to the world's aging population.
In the future, as human bodies wear down with age, an exoskeleton - powered by active minds - could help people stay on their feet. With such huge potential applications available, the global medical exoskeleton market will be worth an estimated $2.8 billion by 2023, according to a research company.
28．What do we know about Kristen
A．She had much difficulties in walking.
B．She was paralyzed due to an accident.
C．She volunteered in a science experiment.
D．She never gave up the hope to walk again.
29．HAL can be used as .
A．brain wave B．electrical nerve C．mechanical muscle D．spinal cord
30．What's the right order of how HAL works
①Persons put on HAL.
②Persons are connected to the sensors.
③HAL helps support the person's motion.
④Persons send out intention to move.
⑤Sensors pick up signals and pass them to HAL.
A．②①④⑤③ B．①②③④⑤ C．②①③④⑤ D．①②④⑤③
31．We can conclude from the passage that .
A．HAL can now be used with no difficulty
B．HAL may have a large potential market
C．HAL has been widely used in the world
D．HAL can only help people with disabilities
D
Researchers have studied how birth order affects kid’s personalities in the past, but one study out of the United Kingdom has found that firstborns may have an educational advantage over their younger siblings (兄弟姐妹).
Researchers at the University of Essex’s Institute for Social and Economic Research surveyed 3,553 individuals and 1,503 groups of siblings, and discovered that firstborn children tended to have higher educational aspirations and attainment. Only children and firstborn twins were not included in the study.
For each family involved in the study, researcher Feifei Bu examined sibling birth order, the number of children in the family, age spacing, sex, health, relationships with one another and educational aspirations. She found that firstborns had a greater probability—16 percent higher—of attending further education, compared with later-born sibling.
“The advantage of firstborns in educational outcomes may be partially explained by the fact that firstborns tend to have higher aspirations which push them toward high education levels,” Bu wrote in the published study.
She further explained to The Guardian that parenting could play a role. “It could be that the parents simply devote more time and energy to them; it could be that they are actually more intelligent. For me, I tend to lean towards the theory that the amount of time, energy and involvement that parents put into caring for their children is possibly at work here,” she said.
She also found age spacing to be a contributing factor. The further apart in age the siblings—for example, a six year instead of one year difference—the more likely both kids were to be successful. The idea is that with widely spaced siblings, parents have the ability to spread out their resources. In other words, they have time to give each child more time and money.
But younger siblings shouldn’t worry. The world is full of successful middle and youngest children willing to prove this study wrong.
32．Who are more likely to complete higher levels of education according to Paragraphs 1 and 2
A．Only children. B．Firstborn twins.
C．Younger siblings. D．Firstborn siblings.
33．What is possibly important for kids’ educational achievement according to Bu
A．Parental investment. B．Parents’ intelligence.
C．Kids native intelligence. D．Kids’ school environment.
34．What is the influence of wider age spacing between two siblings
A．It may cause conflicts between them.
B．It may place more pressure on parents.
C．Both of them are more likely to succeed.
D．They are likely to be different from each other.
35．How is the text mainly developed
A．By listing examples. B．By giving descriptions.
C．By setting down general rules. D．By presenting research findings.

67．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。
My husband and I got to experience a total stranger's kindness and generosity first-hand during a 10-day trip across the High Atlas Mountains and the Sahara Desert.
On our second-to-last day in Morocco, we happily took a trip to Essaouira, an old and beautiful seaside town on the Atlantic. During the journey there, we stopped at an Argan co-operative（合作社）, where we got to taste some Argan oil and honey. After that, we headed where we stayed. We arrived at our small guesthouse in Essaouira at around dinnertime, and on our way to a local restaurants my husband started to feel unwell. He went back to our guesthouse while I had dinner with some friends.
When I got back to our guesthouse after dinner, I found my husband sitting on the bathroom floor, looking very pale. He had been sick about six times in an hour. He spent the rest of the night in the bathroom, getting very familiar with the house's pipe. Our main suspect was the Argan honey—it probably didn't agree with him.
At about 6 a. m., my husband finally managed to leave the bathroom and crawl into bed. He was very weak and dehydrated（脱水的），so I went down to the reception to buy a bottle of water. When I got to the lobby（门厅）,I found a young man behind the desk, who didn't look older than 18, and explained to him that my husband was sick and I needed to buy some bottled water for him.
Our house was very small and basic and didn't have a restaurant or cafe. The young man informed me that they didn't sell any drinks at the house, so I asked him where the nearest shop was.
I looked out the window and my heart started to race. I didn't fancy risking going into the unfamiliar streets of the Medina in the dark, all by myself. In fact, I was afraid of it.
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。
Instead of giving me directions to the nearest shop, the young man asked me to wait for him there.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I handed him a 50 Dirham note （about 5 EUR） for the water.

25．推理判断题。根据最后一段“The college application hurt me deeply. All my friends had dozens of schools to choose from. I guess my parents were right. High school grades are undoubtedly important to your future plans. If I could do it all over again, I would take it more seriously.”（大学申请深深地伤害了我。 我所有的朋友都有几十所学校可供选择。 我想我父母是对的。 高中成绩对你未来的计划无疑是很重要的。 如果可以重来一次，我会更认真对待）可知作者感到很遗憾。故选B。

30．细节理解题。根据第三段“A trained nurse helped her fit HAL over her waist and trousers, connecting her to sensors that help pick up faint bio-electric signals on the surface of the skin, which communicate a patient's intention to move. Once HAL receives these signals, it helps support the person's movements.”可知，一名训练有素的护士帮她把HAL戴在腰和裤子上，这使她与传感器连接起来，传感器帮助捕捉皮肤表面微弱的生物电信号，传达病人的移动意图。一旦HAL接收到这些信号，它就会辅助支持这个人移动，所以正确排序是①②④⑤③。故选D项。

67．
Instead of giving me directions to the nearest shop, the young man asked me to wait for him there. He popped outside and disappeared in the dark quickly. I was wondering what he would do when he re appeared in about 15 minutes, out of breath and carrying a large bottle of water. You can' t imagine the relief that washed over me when I saw him, He gave me the bottle and asked me to give my husband some water quickly.
I handed him a 50 Dirham note (about 5 EUR) for the water. But he wouldn't accept any money for it despite my insistence.

The last thing I wanted to do was to walk through unfamiliar streets in the dark.
