阅读下列短文，从每题给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。
A
Discover Jiangsu
Known as the land of water, China’s coastal province of Jiangsu has all the geographical advantages to give it a starring role in the epic (史诗般的) tale of China’s ancient Maritime (海上的) Silk Road. With busy port cities, historic sites and breathtaking natural beauty, Jiangsu is the perfect place to follow the story of this remarkable trade route.
Nanjing and the voyages of Zheng He
At the beginning of the Ming dynasty, the city of Nanjing in Jiangsu was declared capital of China. Besides building one of the longest city walls in history, the emperor ordered the construction of vast “treasure ships” in 1403. Under Zheng He’s command, the ships finished seven epic ocean voyages, reaching as far as the east coast of Africa.
Nantong and overseas trade
In Jiangsu’s port city of Nantong, goods have flowed in and out of the province by water for centuries. Beyond Lusi Port Town, a busy seascape of boats travel on the waters of Jiangsu’s coast. It’s a scene that shows how China’s historic Maritime Silk Road remains successful until this day.
Yancheng and unspoiled nature
Salt was one of the commodities (商品) that played a key role in the history of trade in Jiangsu, contributing to the wealth of the province. A major source was the tidal (潮汐的) salt flats of Yancheng, which literally means “salt city”. This remarkable landscape also plays host to some rare bird species like cranes, egrets, and spoonbill sandpipers.
Yangzhou and the spread of Buddhism
In the Jiangsu city of Yangzhou, a Tang-dynasty monk by the name of Jianzhen set sail to Japan to spread the teachings of Buddhism. Daming Temple, where Jianzhen lived, can still be visited today.
21. What made Jiangsu an Ancient Gateway to the Maritime Silk Road
A. Its Buddhist art. B. Its remarkable seascape.
C. Its wealth and power. D. Its geographical advantages.
22. Which city has a historic temple as a big tourist attraction
A. Nanjing. B. Nantong. C. Yancheng. D. Yangzhou.
23. Where is this text probably taken from
A. A geography magazine. B. An academic report.
C. An economics book. D. A travel blog.
B
Officials from Brazil’s Indigenous (原住民) protection agency approached the hut in the middle of the Amazon rainforest. They were witnessing the first recorded dying out of an uncontacted tribe in the country’s history.
The man lying there, the last member of his tribe, had died and with him an entire culture and answers to a thousand questions.
Even his name was a mystery. He was known only as “the Man of the Hole” because of the dozens of holes he had dug over the years in his territory. His age, too, could only be guessed at. He appeared to be about 60, officials said.
It was a sad milestone for a country that in recent years has seen protections for Indigenous groups undermined by an administration that has prioritized (优先) development of the Amazon over conservation.
In Rondonia, the only resident of the 8,000-hectare area lived in complete isolation for at least 26 years after the rest of his group was killed by ranchers (农场主) advancing the agricultural frontier.
Brazil’s Indigenous protection agency, Funai, made direct contact with the last surviving man only in 1996. Marcelo dos Santos, an Indigenous expert, said he was found hiding in his hut. “We tried to establish a conversation and offered corn and arrows, but he was terrified and very aggressive (具有攻击性). From this moment on, we had to respect his isolation.”
Even with protections in place, the territory suffered widespread deforestation up until about 13 years ago. Attacks on the last surviving man continued, as well, including one by armed gunmen in 2009, according to local news reports.
“For me, he was somehow incredible: to be able to survive on his own, not speak to anybody and avoid all contact maybe out of grief or determination,” said Fionad Watson, a research director at Survival International, a London-based rights organization.
24. What did the death of “the Man of the Hole” suggest
A. An uncontacted tribe went extinct.
B. An entire culture would be recorded.
C. The secrets around him would be unearthed.
D. The protection agency was unwilling to rescue him.
25. The underlined word “undermined” in Para. 4 is closest in meaning to “________”.
A. strengthened B. monitored C. sought D. weakened
26. What happened to “the Man of the Hole” in 1996
A. He made the protection agency’s approach a failure.
B. He witnessed the most severe deforestation in history.
C. He escaped being shot by a group of aggressive gunmen.
D. He learned more survival skills with arrows offered by Funai.
27. What did Fiona Watson regard “the Man of the Hole” as
A. A mystery B. An evolution C. A wonder D. A fortune
C
A report from the UN warns that countries’ current commitments would reduce carbon by only about 7.5% by 2030, far less than the 45% cut, which scientists say is needed to limit global temperature rises to 1.5°C, the aim of the COP26 summit.
António Guterres, the UN secretary-general, described the findings as a “thundering wake-up call” to world leaders, while experts called for action against fossil fuel companies.
Although more than 100 countries have promised to reach net zero emissions around mid-century, this would not be enough to avoid climate disasters, according to the UN emissions report, which examines the shortfall (差额) between countries intentions and actions needed on the climate. Many of the net zero commitments were found to be unclear, and unless accompanied by strict cuts in emissions this decade would allow global heating of a potentially disastrous extent.
Guterres said: “The heat is on, and as the contents of the report show, the leadership we need is off. Far off. Countries are wasting a massive opportunity to invest Covid-19 finance and recovery resources in sustainable, cost-saving, planet-saving ways. As world leaders prepare for COP26, that is another thundering wake-up call. How many do we need ”
Inger Andersen, the director of the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) said: “Climate change is no longer a future problem. It is a now problem. To stand a chance of limiting global warming to 1.5℃, we have 8 years to almost halve greenhouse gas emissions: 8 years to make the plans, put in place the policies, carry them out and deliver the cuts. The clock is ticking loudly.”
Emissions fell by about 5. 4% last year during Covid lockdowns, the report found, but only about one-fifth of the economic recovery spending goes towards reducing carbon emissions. This failure to “build back better”, despite promises by governments around the world, cast doubt on the world’s willingness to make the economic shift necessary to settle the climate crisis, the UN said.
In the run-up to COP26, countries were supposed to submit (递交) national plans to cut emissions—called nationally determined contributions (NDCs)—for the next decade, a requirement under the 2015 Paris climate agreement. But the UNEP report found only half of countries had submitted new NDCs, and some governments had presented weak plans.
28. Why were the findings described as a “thundering wake-up call” in Para. 2
A. Because the world has failed to live up to its current commitments.
B. Because the opportunities presented by covid-19 have been wasted.
C. Because the world is falling behind in slowing down temperature rises.
D. Because the serious problems were brought about by global fossil fuels.
29. The potential harm of global warming can be reduced if ________.
A. current commitments of many countries remain unchanged
B. huge gaps are bridged between previous and present proposals
C. global sustainable environmental resources develops significantly
D. strict measures are taken to reduce emissions in the coming ten years
30. What is the writer’s purpose of quoting “How many do we need ” in Para. 4
A. To show the number of alarm clocks required.
B. To explain the reason for the world’s wasting chances.
C. To ask for the number of the countries attending the meeting.
D. To stress the need to make the most of resources and reduce emissions.
31. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. Few countries have submitted plans to reduce the emissions.
B. Many countries’ plans to cut emissions are far from satisfactory.
C. Most of the countries work under the Paris Climate Agreement.
D. Much progress in reducing emissions has been made these years.
D
Today’s amazing newspaper headline!
First family of four to walk to the South Pole wearing Mickey Mouse ears and clown’s shoes.
No, not really. It isn’t true. I invented it. But I wouldn’t be surprised to see it one day soon. It seems that every week someone becomes “the first” or “the youngest” or “the oldest” or even “the first married couple” to do something that doesn’t seem to be very useful to the rest of humanity.
This year I’ve seen headlines saying “The youngest person to sail the Atlantic alone”, “The youngest Briton to climb Mount Everest”, and “The first people to fly around the world in a hot air balloon”. Why do they do it Don’t they have better things to do with their time and money And why should I be interested anyway
Human beings have already climbed the highest mountains, sailed across the oceans and flown around the world. People have already reached the most remote parts of our planet. Many of these things were done a long, long time ago. There just isn’t anything left to explore nowadays. I suppose there’s still a lot of the universe left, and the bottom of the oceans is still a bit of a mystery, but you need a lot of technology to explore areas like that. So, those people who feel the need for adventure can only do things that have been done before. So they have to try and do it in a new way, or be “the fastest” or “the youngest” or “the oldest” to do something that isn’t really new at all.
What is so great about climbing Mount Everest these days anyway It’s become a popular tourist trip. People pay thousands of dollars to be taken up the mountain by the local Sherpas, who lead the way and carry the bags. At any one time there are about a thousand people either climbing up or on their way back down. As a result, Everest is covered with rubbish and the Sherpas have to make special trips up the mountain to pick it up. The climbers are often inexperienced and when they get into trouble other people have to risk their lives to bring them down to safety. Helicopter crews have been killed trying to reach people who were stuck on the mountain.
In January 2003 a helicopter carrying two British men crashed into the sea near Antarctica. I’m not quite sure what they were trying to be “the first” or “the youngest” to do. The Chilean navy picked them up after a nine-hour rescue mission that cost tens of thousands of pounds, all paid for by the Chilean and British taxpayers.
Talking of taxpayers, many Australians are getting a bit fed up with record breakers. A lot of people trying to break sailing or rowing records get into trouble in the seas around Australia, so the Australian navy has to send ships to save them. There have been a lot of difficult, time-consuming rescue missions in recent years costing the Australian government millions of dollars. I suppose we can’t just leave them to drown, but personally, I think we should give the bill to the people who are rescued. Perhaps they would think twice about doing it if they had to pay for expensive insurance premiums (保费). Then I wouldn’t have to read about them in the newspapers either.
32. The writer invents the newspaper headline in paragraphs 1&2 to ________.
A. persuade readers of a new trend B. entertain readers with his humor
C. get readers interested in the topic D. remind readers of an important event
33. By saying “It’s become a popular tourist trip”, the writer means ________.
A. Mount Everest is now covered with a lot of rubbish
B. climbing Mount Everest has already lost its true meaning
C. it’s impossible to climb up Mountain Everest without help
D. people without experience may get in trouble or even danger
34. Which is the reason why many Australians dislike the record breakers
A. They have to pay for the costs of rescuing the record breakers.
B. The Australian navy was not something intended for rescue work.
C. The record breakers should pay for their insurance premiums themselves.
D. A great number of people try to break records in the seas around Australia.
35. Which of the following is the best title of the passage
A. It’s All Been Done Before B. Never Do Something New
C. You Are the Next Record Breaker D. Be Responsible for Your Adventures

Some people prefer to have a bite to eat before hitting the gym, known as a fed workout. Others would like to wait until after exercising to refuel their bodies, called a fasted workout. 36 Many experts say there’s no easy answer because it depends on the person.
If you want energy and strength for an ideal workout, you need fuel. A fed workout will provide your body with power. Eating before exercise may help you sustain longer sessions and lift heavier weights. 37 Muscle preservation is also an essential component of strengthening your body. Nitrogen (氮) is critical for processing protein that builds healthy muscles. People tend to lose less nitrogen during a fed workout than a fasted one.
Many fitness enthusiasts are not on board with this idea. They report feeling sick and inactive while trying to exercise after eating. With a fasted workout, you may not get the usual indigestion. Experts for fasted workouts further claim that eating afterwards makes your body use its fat reserves for energy, meaning you will burn more fat. 38 It can cause a sudden drop in your blood glucose (葡萄糖) levels, and you may feel dizzy. You may even be more likely to overeat.
39 Not all foods are created equal. For example, if you choose a fed workout, you’ll probably lose a lot of water during an intense training, so you should consider drinking some beforehand. With a fasted workout, it would help if you had some nutrition right after your session is complete. Drink some water. Then, have a light meal or nutritional snack.
Deciding when to eat for an ideal workout is a personal choice. Both fasted workouts and fed activities have their benefits and shortcomings. 40
A. However, a fasted workout might not work for you.
B. How your body will respond is based on your workout intensity.
C. These benefits can result in burning more fat and shaping a slimmer body.
D. To eat or not to eat, that is the question on many fitness enthusiasts’ minds.
E. Think thoroughly and discuss with your fitness instructor before taking a choice.
F. Knowing what to eat for an ideal workout is just as important as knowing when to eat.
G. A person doing a 30-minute session a day may not have a problem with fasted workouts.

There have been times over the years when I have tried to leave Hailsham behind, when I have told myself I shouldn’t look back so much. But then there came a point when I just stopped resisting (反抗). It had to do with this particular donor (器官捐献者) I had once, in my third year as a carer; it was his 41 when I mentioned I was from Hailsham. He had just 42 his third donation, it hadn’t gone well, and he must have known that he wasn’t going to 43 . He could hardly breathe, but he looked towards me and said: “Hailsham. I bet that was a (an) 44 place.” Then the next morning, when I was making conversation to keep his 45 off it all, and I asked 46 he had grown up, he mentioned some place in Dorset and his face went into a completely new kind of grimace (痛苦的表情). And I realized then how 47 he didn’t want to be reminded. 48 , he wanted to hear about Hailsham.
So over the next five or six days, I told him whatever he wanted to know, and he’d lie there, all 49 , a gentle smile breaking through. He’d ask me about the big things and the little things. About our guardians (看护人), about the football, the rounders, the little path, the duck pond, the food, the view from the Art room over the fields on a foggy morning. Sometimes he’d make me say things 50 ; things I’d told him only the day before, he’d ask about like I’d 51 told him. “Did you have a pond ” “Which guardian was your special favorite ” At first I thought this was just the drugs, but then I realized his mind was 52 enough. What he wanted was not just to 53 Hailsham, but to remember Hailsham, just like it had been his own childhood. He knew he was 54 to death and so that’s what he was doing: getting me to describe things to him, so they’d really sink in, so that maybe during those sleepless nights, with the drugs and the pain and the exhaustion, the line would blur (变得模糊) between what were my 55 and what were his.
41. A. impression B. suggestion C. reaction D. recommendation
42. A. come through B. come up with C. come across D. come down with
43. A. deserve it B. mean it C. take it D. make it

48. A. Instead B. Otherwise C. Moreover D. Therefore
49. A. interested B. shocked C. confused D. depressed
50. A. once and for all B. far and wide C. over and over D. in no time
51. A. always B. never C. ever D. usually

Wandering sounds, irregular rhythms and a carrier of gentle emotions. This is the musical language of guqin, 56 seven-string instrument created in ancient China.
The earliest piece of guqin in China 57 (date) back to the Zhou Dynasty. 58 (compose) of lacquered (喷漆的) wood and the strings of twisted silk, the body of a guqin looks quite simple, 59 unlike its seemingly simple appearance, 60 (make) a guqin is rather demanding. An outstanding piece can take anywhere from two to several decades to craft. It is a 61 (fantasy) achievement of art and time.
The tone of a guqin is quiet, spiritual and distant, with abundant empty notes in between, living up to listeners’ 62 (expect) of amazing music. As the listener fills in the their empty minds, a connection is formed between music and man.
The guqin was favored by learned people in ancient China. The most famous guqin musician was Yu Boya 63 the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods. As he played his guqin in the mountains, a woodcutter named Zhong Ziqi heard the 64 (extraordinary) amazing music and understood what Yu wanted to express. This deep understanding made them become close friends. This is the famous guqin masterpiece, High Mountains and Flowing Water, 65 story has been passed down through generations.
This graceful dialogue, travelling for thousands of years, is continuing to this day.

Dear Taylor,
Knowing that you are still undecided as to which course to choose between Chinese calligraphy and Beijing Opera, I am writing to offer my recommendation.
As far as I’m concerned, Chinese calligraphy is highly recommended for the following reasons. First and foremost, Chinese calligraphy is the cultivation of one’s morality as well as a window into Chinese profound culture. Furthermore, the course, which is a combination of theory and practice, is given by a retired but renowned master, professor Zhang. Last but not the least, the course ranks number one among our school courses in terms of popularity.
Wish you a rewarding voyage of discovering the beauty of Chinese calligraphy.
Yours sincerely Li Hua

M: Yeah, I’m doing my Ph.D. I’s taking ages to finish and there is far too much to learn from the professors; kind of boring. How about you
W: Well, I’m a sales manager at an American company. It’s pretty exciting.
M: I wish I were working like you already.

W: It’s a little cold today. But we can see the most beautiful view up here. Hey, what’s that mountain to the left called
M: That’s Mount Karen. And to the right of that with the three small points is Mount Brown.
W: Is this the highest mountain in this area
M: No, actually, Mount Heather, which we will be able to see in just a minute or so, is the highest. But, this is the highest mountain for the most popular activity skiing.
W: Can you ski throughout the year
M: No, it may make you sunburned up there in the summer. So if you want to be up here in other seasons, you’d better choose a cool spring or autumn day. Oh, look, there are two deer feeding in the clearing right below us.
W: Got it. That should be a great photo. So … what is there to do besides skiing at the top of the hill at this time of year
M: Oh there’s plenty to do. We have horseback riding, snowmobile tours, and a petting zoo for children. If you look to your left you’ll see the snowmobile sign going through the mountain.

W: Good afternoon and welcome to Seattle Houseboat Tours. My name’s Elizabeth Jones and I’m your guide today. This is my houseboat Moonlight. Before we go on board, I’d like to give you a little background information. Seattle has one of the largest numbers of houseboats in the U.S. — about 500 of them in fact. That’s quite a high number and shows how popular houseboat living is here. We’re at the southern end of Lake Union right now. As you have probably seen already, this is a lively area with restaurants and shops and cafes. During our one-hour tour you’ll see a number of houseboats. People can pay millions of dollars for the biggest of these. Some of them are quite amazing and have two or three floors. My own is one of the smallest boats, but I still have plenty of room, as you’ll see when I show you around. My living area includes one bedroom with a bathroom, a kitchen and a living room. I also have electricity, running water and network, so I really do have everything I need. You may be interested to know that I’m writing a book on the history of houseboats in the city, and this should be on sale from early July. Well, thank you for listening so far. Now let’s move into the boat and start the tour.
