A
Bristol Old Vic
When the Theatre Royal (now Bristol Old Vic) was built, electricity hadn’t been discovered. For over 250 years the people who have owned, worked inside and visited the theatre have kept records about their activity. These are kept safe at the University of Bristol Theatre Collection, and you’ll discover a range of documents which record the history of the theatre, from its foundation in 1764 up until the present day. Here are some of them.
BEGINNING
In 1764 businessmen Alexander Edgar and Thomas Symons suggested building a new theatre between Baldwin Street and the back of Coopers’ Hall in King Street. The estimated cost was f2, 000 to be split among 40 subscribers, but the building work cost more than expected. Owning shares allowed them to influence decisions about the theatre.
SILVER TICKET
Each of the original Bristol Old Vic shareholders was given a silver ticket that promised sight of any performance held at the theatre. As the holders were clever businessmen, they insisted that the silver tickets could be loaned or traded. This enabled them to make some extra money but made it extremely difficult for the theatre managers to keep track of who was allowed to see shows for free.
250TH BIRTHDAY
In May 2016, the theatre celebrated its 250th birthday! As the oldest continuously-working theatre in the English-speaking world, it deserved a proper party, so Bristol-based Limbic Cinema was hired to create a film of the theatre’s historical highlights which was projected (放映) onto the theatre itself.
21. Where can you find the three mentioned documents
A. At Baldwin Street.
B. At Coopers’ Hall in King Street.
C. At the University of Bristol Theatre Collection.
D At Bristol-based Limbic Cinema.
22. How was the theatre’s 250th birthday celebrated
A. By making a film projected in theatres across England.
B. By building Bristol-based Limbic Cinema.
C. By releasing silver ticket in memory of the birthday.
D. By creating a film about its history.
23. What’s the purpose of the text
A. To introduce some information of Bristol Old Vic.
B. To change people’s view on Bristol Old Vic.
C. To recommend a movie related to the theatre.
D. To compare the theatre and others.
B
Sarah was not an early riser. But what made the annoying early morning hours bearable was the comforting smell of fresh coffee floating in the air. Her favorite coffee shop was just a few minutes away from her apartment.
One sunny morning, Sarah rushed to get dressed. Having a job interview, she felt anxious, afraid to be late. She grabbed her car key, dashed out of the door and made her way to her familiar coffee shop as usual. As she joined the line of cars at the drive-through, the smell of roasted coffee beans and the thought of the first taste of coffee were her little daily luxury. The line inched forward, and soon, Sarah found herself at the drive-through window. She reached for her purse to pay, but before she could hand over her credit card, the coffee shop assistant smiled and said, “Your coffee has been covered by the car ahead of you.” Sarah was taken aback. “Really ” she asked, feeling astonished and grateful. The assistant nodded. The unexpected act of kindness put a smile on her face, making her upcoming interview feel a little relaxing.
As she exited the drive-through, Sarah glanced in her rear view mirror (后视镜) at the next car approaching the coffee shop window. An idea began to come into her mind. Maybe she could do the same and brighten someone else’s morning. She decided to return to the coffee shop. Inside, she approached the cashier and said, “I’d like to pay for the coffee of the person in the car behind me.” The assistant smiled and nodded again.
As Sarah eventually left the coffee shop, Sarah couldn’t help but wonder how the next driver would react. A wave of satisfaction washed over Sarah as she witnessed the continuation of the coffee chain. She knew she had just initiated a chain of generosity and kindness.
24. What can we learn about Sarah from the first two paragraphs
A. She led a life of luxury. B. She used to get up early.
C. She was nervous about the interview. D. She was new to the coffee shop.
25. Why did Sarah go back to the coffee shop
A. To find out who paid for her coffee. B. To order herself another cup of coffee.
C. To see what was exactly happening there. D. To buy coffee for the driver behind her.
26. How did Sarah feel when she finally left the coffee shop
A. Ambitious. B. Content. C. Awkward. D. Suspicious.
27. What is the text mainly about
A A chain of coffee shops. B. An unforgettable interview.
C. The kindness from an assistant. D. The power of paying it forward.
C
A new study warns that more than a fifth of all reptile (爬行动物) species are threatened with extinction, which may have a bad impact on the planet.
The largest ever analysis of the state of the world’s reptiles, published in Nature, has showed that 21% of the reptile species are facing extinction. The study says from lizards to snakes, such a loss could have disastrous impacts on ecosystems around the world.
Although many reptiles live in dry environments such as deserts, most species occur in forests, where they suffer from threats such as logging of land for agriculture.30% of the forest-dwelling reptiles are at risk of extinction, compared with 14% in dry habitats. Hunting is also a major threat to reptiles, especially turtles and crocodiles, many of which are at risk of extinction. Another major contributing factor is the introduction of invasive species.
“If we removed reptiles, it could change ecosystems fundamentally, with unfortunate knock-on effects, such as increases in pest insects,” said Neil Cox, co-leader of the study. “Biodiversity, including reptiles, supports the ecosystem services that provide a healthy environment for people.”
Our hope is that this first-ever assessment of the world’s 10,000-plus reptiles helps put them in the spotlight and goes some way to highlighting this diversity, and just how much we have to lose. As well as controlling rats, mosquitoes and other pests, reptiles deliver many other benefits. “They help spread seeds, especially in island environments,” said researcher Hoffmann. “We’ve also achieved many medical advances from studies of reptiles.”
The results of the study are not all doom and gloom. Scientists have found, surprisingly, that if they set out to protect places where threatened birds, mammals and amphibians (两栖动物) live together, they’ll meanwhile protect many more threatened reptiles.
28. Which is the main concern raised by the new study
A. The overpopulation of reptiles. B. The loss of reptiles.
C. The sharp increase in reptile species. D. The disastrous influence of reptiles on nature.
29. How many factors causing the extinction of species are mentioned in paragraph 3
A. One. B. Two. C. Three. D. Four.
30. What did Neil Cox and Hoffmann both say about reptiles
A. Their benefits. B. Their habitats.
C. Their living habits. D. Their health problems.
31. What does the underlined phrase “doom and gloom” in the last paragraph mean
A. Disappointing. B. Odd. C. Satisfactory. D. Amazing.
D
We all love butterflies. Their beautiful wings attract us, and their presence lights up our garden. Well, that’s our view of butterflies, but have you ever wondered what plants think of them
The butterflies’ eggs lie on the underside of the leaves. The eggs themselves don’t damage plants. However, upon coming into contact with the eggs, the plants become oversensitive. It means that once a plant recognizes a pest, it will cause death in the contacted plant part. When these dead leaves or partial leaf parts break away from the plant, the eggs on them fall off. Along with the hypersensitivity response, plants also produce something special, which can attract animals to cat the eggs, thus preventing damage in the future.
After the baby butterflies come out of their eggs, the caterpillar (毛虫) stage begins. Most caterpillars feed on the leaves of the plants, damaging some of the plants in your own garden. Incredibly, they are major plant pests that bring about major losses to farmers. The next stage is pupa (蛹). The caterpillars begin their change into an adult. They don’t depend on the energy that the leaves provide. Finally, they become adult butterflies that have wings and move from one plant to the other. They feed on the sweet liquid produced by flowers.
While on their search for food, the butterflies carry pollen (花粉) on their body. They are key pollinators that place pollen from one flower to another in ecosystem. Plants that have flowers will create some special features to draw these pollinators’ attention. Certain plants have flowers giving off smells that can charm butterflies when they are looking for a mate. Some plants even have flat flowers to assist butterflies when landing.
Butterflies aid in pollination during their final adult stage. Thus, they change into beneficial insects to plants. This change makes butterflies an important friend of plants, despite being a hated enemy in previous life cycle stages!
32. How does a plant respond to butterflies’ eggs
A. It tries to get rid of them. B. It tries to appeal to them.
C. It grows a little better with them. D. It protects them from being eaten.
33 When do butterflies cause the greatest damage to agriculture
A. In the period of egg-laying. B. In the period of pupa.
C. In the period of caterpillar. D. In the period of adult.
34. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 4
A. Describe the process of pollination.
B. Show how flowers attract butterflies.
C. Stress the importance of pollination.
D. Explore how adult butterflies develop.
35. What can be the best title for the text
A. Why do flowers need butterflies’ pollination
B. How do plants defend themselves from pests
C. Are butterflies’ life cycles similar to the plants’
D. Are butterflies beneficial or harmful to plants

In a small town, there was a community talent show held every year in the local park. The event was a highlight for many, with performances from various local talents. Among the audience was a woman named Emily, a kind-hearted local librarian, along with her 12-year-old daughter Anna. Both of their eyes were filled with excitement.
As the show began, Emily and her daughter watched a young girl in amazement, about eight, confidently sing a song. Her voice was surprisingly powerful for her small body. Then a group of teenagers followed. Their hip-hop dance routine was full of energy, leading to cheers from the crowd. There was even an elderly gentleman who performed a series of magic tricks. However, as the sun began to set, many in the audience grew tired and the applause (掌声) after each act became less enthusiastic (热情的).
Then came the turn of a young boy, around ten years old, nervously holding his violin. As he started playing, it was clear that he was a beginner. His notes were shaky and he missed a few beats. The audience, already tired, responded with only a little polite applause. Emily noticed the boy’s frustrated face as he finished his performance.
It was at this moment that Emily recalled a powerful memory from her own childhood—the time when she had stood on a similar stage, her voice trembling (颤抖) through a song. But the kindness she had received from a stranger in the audience pushed her to carry on. Drawing from the lesson she had learned from the past experience, Emily stood up, clapping loudly and cheering for the boy. “Great job! Keep practicing, and you’re doing wonderfully!”she called out. Her enthusiasm inspired other members of the audience to join in the applause, their clap growing louder and more sincere.
注意：

【解析】
【原文】M: Last year, I took up the hobby of birding or bird watching after my friend took me out to observe some birds near the lake. Basically, birding involves observing birds in their natural habitat. I usually go out with a guidebook in the mornings because most birds are very active in finding food at that time. Because I’m new to birding, I use my bird guidebook to look up certain kinds of birds. I have to look carefully at their feathers, the way they behave and move and their size to recognize many birds because some look very similar．
Besides looking at birds, I like the activity because it gives me a chance to exercise as I travel to different places, and it allows me to relax my mind in the great outdoors．

Bristol Old Vic
When the Theatre Royal (now Bristol Old Vic) was built, electricity hadn’t been discovered. For over 250 years the people who have owned, worked inside and visited the theatre have kept records about their activity. These are kept safe at the University of Bristol Theatre Collection, and you’ll discover a range of documents which record the history of the theatre, from its foundation in 1764 up until the present day. Here are some of them.
BEGINNING
In 1764 businessmen Alexander Edgar and Thomas Symons suggested building a new theatre between Baldwin Street and the back of Coopers’ Hall in King Street. The estimated cost was f2, 000 to be split among 40 subscribers, but the building work cost more than expected. Owning shares allowed them to influence decisions about the theatre.
SILVER TICKET
Each of the original Bristol Old Vic shareholders was given a silver ticket that promised sight of any performance held at the theatre. As the holders were clever businessmen, they insisted that the silver tickets could be loaned or traded. This enabled them to make some extra money but made it extremely difficult for the theatre managers to keep track of who was allowed to see shows for free.
250TH BIRTHDAY
In May 2016, the theatre celebrated its 250th birthday! As the oldest continuously-working theatre in the English-speaking world, it deserved a proper party, so Bristol-based Limbic Cinema was hired to create a film of the theatre’s historical highlights which was projected (放映) onto the theatre itself.
21. Where can you find the three mentioned documents
A. At Baldwin Street.
B. At Coopers’ Hall in King Street.
C. At the University of Bristol Theatre Collection.
D. At Bristol-based Limbic Cinema.
22. How was the theatre’s 250th birthday celebrated
A. By making a film projected in theatres across England.
B. By building Bristol-based Limbic Cinema.
C. By releasing silver ticket in memory of the birthday.
D. By creating a film about its history.
23. What’s the purpose of the text
A. To introduce some information of Bristol Old Vic.
B. To change people’s view on Bristol Old Vic.
C. To recommend a movie related to the theatre.
D. To compare the theatre and others.

Sarah was not an early riser. But what made the annoying early morning hours bearable was the comforting smell of fresh coffee floating in the air. Her favorite coffee shop was just a few minutes away from her apartment.
One sunny morning, Sarah rushed to get dressed. Having a job interview, she felt anxious, afraid to be late. She grabbed her car key, dashed out of the door and made her way to her familiar coffee shop as usual.

A new study warns that more than a fifth of all reptile (爬行动物) species are threatened with extinction which may have a bad impact on the planet.
The largest ever analysis of the state of the world’s reptiles, published in Nature, has showed that 21% of the reptile species are facing extinction. The study says from lizards to snakes, such a loss could have disastrous impacts on ecosystems around the world.
Although many reptiles live in dry environments such as deserts, most species occur in forests, where they suffer from threats such as logging of land for agriculture.30% of the forest-dwelling reptiles are at risk of extinction, compared with 14% in dry habitats. Hunting is also a major threat to reptiles, especially turtles and crocodiles, many of which are at risk of extinction. Another major contributing factor is the introduction of invasive species.
“If we removed reptiles, it could change ecosystems fundamentally, with unfortunate knock-on effects, such as increases in pest insects,” said Neil Cox, co-leader of the study. “Biodiversity, including reptiles, supports the ecosystem services that provide a healthy environment for people.”
Our hope is that this first-ever assessment of the world’s 10,000-plus reptiles helps put them in the spotlight and goes some way to highlighting this diversity, and just how much we have to lose. As well as controlling rats, mosquitoes and other pests, reptiles deliver many other benefits. “They help spread seeds, especially in island environments,” said researcher Hoffmann. “We’ve also achieved many medical advances from studies of reptiles.”
The results of the study are not all doom and gloom. Scientists have found, surprisingly, that if they set out to protect places where threatened birds, mammals and amphibians (两栖动物) live together, they’ll meanwhile protect many more threatened reptiles.
28. Which is the main concern raised by the new study
A. The overpopulation of reptiles. B. The loss of reptiles.
C. The sharp increase in reptile species. D. The disastrous influence of reptiles on nature.
29. How many factors causing the extinction of species are mentioned in paragraph 3
A. One. B. Two. C. Three. D. Four.
30. What did Neil Cox and Hoffmann both say about reptiles
A. Their benefits. B. Their habitats.
C. Their living habits. D. Their health problems.
31. What does the underlined phrase “doom and gloom” in the last paragraph mean
A. Disappointing. B. Odd. C. Satisfactory. D. Amazing.
【答案】28. B 29. C 30. A 31. A

细节理解题。根据第三段“Although many reptiles live in dry environments such as deserts, most species occur in forests, where they suffer from threats such as logging of land for agriculture.30% of the forest-dwelling reptiles are at risk of extinction, compared with 14% in dry habitats. Hunting is also a major threat to reptiles, especially turtles and crocodiles, many of which are at risk of extinction. Another major contributing factor is the introduction of invasive species. (虽然许多爬行动物生活在沙漠等干燥环境中，但大多数物种生活在森林中，在那里它们受到诸如农业用地砍伐等威胁。30%的森林爬行动物面临灭绝的危险，而干旱栖息地的这一比例为14%。狩猎也是爬行动物的主要威胁，尤其是海龟和鳄鱼，其中许多都有灭绝的危险。另一个主要因素是入侵物种的引入。)”可知，第3段提到了三个导致物种灭绝的因素。故选C。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第三段“Biodiversity, including reptiles, supports the ecosystem services that provide a healthy environment for people. (包括爬行动物在内的生物多样性支持为人类提供健康环境的生态系统服务。)”以及倒数第二段“They help spread seeds, especially in island environments (它们有助于传播种子，尤其是在岛屿环境中)”可知，尼尔·考克斯和霍夫曼提到了爬行动物的益处。故选A。
【31题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“Scientists have found, surprisingly, that if they set out to protect places where threatened birds, mammals and amphibians (两栖动物) live together, they’ll meanwhile protect many more threatened reptiles. (令人惊讶的是，科学家们发现，如果他们开始保护受威胁的鸟类、哺乳动物和两栖动物共同生活的地方，他们同时也会保护更多受威胁的爬行动物。)”可知，后文提到了更多受威胁的爬行动物会受到保护，说明这项研究的结果并不都是令人失望的。故划线词意思是“令人失望的”。故选A。
D
We all love butterflies. Their beautiful wings attract us, and their presence lights up our garden. Well, that’s our view of butterflies, but have you ever wondered what plants think of them
The butterflies’ eggs lie on the underside of the leaves. The eggs themselves don’t damage plants. However, upon coming into contact with the eggs, the plants become oversensitive. It means that once a plant recognizes a pest, it will cause death in the contacted plant part. When these dead leaves or partial leaf parts break away from the plant, the eggs on them fall off. Along with the hypersensitivity response, plants also produce something special, which can attract animals to cat the eggs, thus preventing damage in the future.
After the baby butterflies come out of their eggs, the caterpillar (毛虫) stage begins. Most caterpillars feed on the leaves of the plants, damaging some of the plants in your own garden. Incredibly, they are major plant pests that bring about major losses to farmers. The next stage is pupa (蛹). The caterpillars begin their change into an adult. They don’t depend on the energy that the leaves provide. Finally, they become adult butterflies that have wings and move from one plant to the other. They feed on the sweet liquid produced by flowers.
While on their search for food, the butterflies carry pollen (花粉) on their body. They are key pollinators that place pollen from one flower to another in ecosystem. Plants that have flowers will create some special features to draw these pollinators’ attention. Certain plants have flowers giving off smells that can charm butterflies when they are looking for a mate. Some plants even have flat flowers to assist butterflies when landing.
Butterflies aid in pollination during their final adult stage. Thus, they change into beneficial insects to plants. This change makes butterflies an important friend of plants, despite being a hated enemy in previous life cycle stages!
32. How does a plant respond to butterflies’ eggs
A. It tries to get rid of them. B. It tries to appeal to them.
C. It grows a little better with them. D. It protects them from being eaten.
33. When do butterflies cause the greatest damage to agriculture
A. In the period of egg-laying. B. In the period of pupa.
C. In the period of caterpillar. D. In the period of adult.
34. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 4
A. Describe the process of pollination.
B. Show how flowers attract butterflies.
C. Stress the importance of pollination.
D. Explore how adult butterflies develop.
35. What can be the best title for the text
A. Why do flowers need butterflies’ pollination
B. How do plants defend themselves from pests
C. Are butterflies’ life cycles similar to the plants’
D. Are butterflies beneficial or harmful to plants
【答案】32. A 33. C 34. B 35. D

35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“We all love butterflies. Their beautiful wings attract us, and their presence lights up our garden. Well, that’s our view of butterflies, but have you ever wondered what plants think of them ”(我们都喜欢蝴蝶。它们美丽的翅膀吸引着我们，它们的出现照亮了我们的花园。好吧，这就是我们对蝴蝶的看法，但是你有没有想过植物是怎么看待它们的？)”和文章最后一段“Butterflies aid in pollination during their final adult stage. Thus, they change into beneficial insects to plants. This change makes butterflies an important friend of plants, despite being a hated enemy in previous life cycle stages!(蝴蝶在它们最后的成虫阶段帮助授粉。因此，它们变成了植物的益虫。这种变化使蝴蝶成为植物的重要朋友，尽管在以前的生命周期阶段是一个讨厌的敌人！)”可知，文章主要讨论了蝴蝶对植物是有益的还是有害的。故选D。

Being near the central part of China, Xi’an is a crossroads for many of the amazing Chinese cuisines. Restaurants in Xi’an range from Cantonese to Sichuan styles.

第二节（满分25分）
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。
In a small town there was a community talent show held every year in the local park. The event was a highlight for many, with performances from various local talents. Among the audience was a woman named Emily, a kind-hearted local librarian, along with her 12-year-old daughter Anna. Both of their eyes were filled with excitement.
As the show began, Emily and her daughter watched a young girl in amazement, about eight, confidently sing a song. Her voice was surprisingly powerful for her small body. Then a group of teenagers followed. Their hip-hop dance routine was full of energy, leading to cheers from the crowd. There was even an elderly gentleman who performed a series of magic tricks. However, as the sun began to set, many in the audience grew tired and the applause (掌声) after each act became less enthusiastic (热情的).
Then came the turn of a young boy, around ten years old, nervously holding his violin. As he started playing, it was clear that he was a beginner. His notes were shaky and he missed a few beats. The audience, already tired, responded with only a little polite applause. Emily noticed the boy’s frustrated face as he finished his performance.
It was at this moment that Emily recalled a powerful memory from her own childhood—the time when she had stood on a similar stage, her voice trembling (颤抖) through a song. But the kindness she had received from a stranger in the audience pushed her to carry on. Drawing from the lesson she had learned from the past experience, Emily stood up, clapping loudly and cheering for the boy. “Great job! Keep practicing, and you’re doing wonderfully!”she called out. Her enthusiasm inspired other members of the audience to join in the applause, their clap growing louder and more sincere.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】范文
Anna looked up at her mother, surprised by her actions. “Mom, why did you do that ”she asked curiously. Emily smiled and said that the boy was brave enough to share his talent with them. She thought it’s important to encourage and support each other, especially when someone is just starting out and that people can never know how much a simple act of kindness can mean to someone. Anna nodded thoughtfully, watching as the young violinist left the stage with a shy but proud smile.
Since that day, Anna carried her mother’s lesson with her. She found herself looking at situations differently, seizing opportunities to offer support and kindness. In school, when classmates struggled or felt nervous, Ann a was there with a word of encouragement, remembering her mother’s example at the talent show. She realized that these small acts of kindness didn’t just help others, and that they made herself feel good too. Anna hoped that just like her mother, she could be a source of initiative and encouragement in someone else’s life.
