Before coming to China, the Great Wall held a mysterious and poetic quality for me. I had seen it in photos, in films and read about it in books, but my first experience of the wall gave me a very different impression. In 2014, I visited the Badaling section, certainly an attractive place with some incredible views, but perhaps due to the large number of tourists, the massive restorations and tourist facilities, it felt far different from the impression I had built up in my mind.
I have been to many different sections of the wall since then, but none have matched my high expectations until the recent National Day holiday. I decided to hike along the Jiankou section of the wall which rises more than 1,000 meters above sea level, and camp overnight to be able to take in both the sunset and sunrise.
Arriving at the top of the path, the only access point to get on to the wall itself was a ladder made of tree branches tied together with string. I climbed to one of the highest points on the wall in order to catch the sunset. Being completely alone on this unique and dangerous section of the wall, witnessing the sunset behind the mountains, was a truly unique experience.
I woke up expecting to be able to catch the sunrise, however, my weather app failed me. Getting out of the tent, I could hardly see my hand in front of my face as the whole area was covered in a thick fog. I made the decision to climb back to the top of the wall. The vast mountains with the wall cutting a path along them became visible for a few brief moments as the gusts of wind parted the clouds. In that moment, the image of the wall I had built up in my mind was finally realized. The combination of raw nature, geography and architecture are all in balance with one another. Undoubtedly, I will return to the wall and seek out new paths, but this experience will be matchless.
4. Why was the author disappointed with his first visit to the Great Wall
A. There were not splendid views.
B. It was not a fascinating tourist destination.
C. The photos he saw before were unreal.
D. There were too many restorations and tourist facilities.
5. What did the author do at Jiankou section of the Great Wall
A. He managed to witness the great sunrise.
B. He enjoyed the unique sunset on his own.
C. He climbed to the highest point of the Great Wall.
D. He got on to the wall through a ladder made of string.
6. What did the author think of the Great Wall in the last paragraph
A. Disappointing. B. Terrible. C. Ordinary. D. Amazing.
7. What does the author want to tell us by sharing his experiences
A. Nature reveals its true beauty of the Great Wall.
B. Foreign visitors should have a trip to the Great Wall
C. More attention should be paid to the protection of Heritage sites.
D. Parts of the Great wall have suffered from tourism in recent years.
C
Keeping a busy social life among lots of friends may keep people thinner than spending hours doing some exercises according to scientists. They say that socializing and meeting with friends help increase levels of brown fat in the body which burns calories to produce heat.
Living in an exciting social environment was found to reduce fat of mice by half over four weeks even if they ate more. US researchers say that social excitement catalyzes weight loss by turning white fat into brown. White fat stores calories and makes us fatter while brown burns energy to produce heat. Turning white fat into brown is extremely difficult normally requiring long-term stay in cold conditions or exciting part of the body’s nervous system.
However, scientists from Ohio State University now think that having a busy social life is an even more effective way of changing white fat into brown. The team came up with their theory by studying the effects of various living environments on mice. Those who lived alongside a greater number of mice lost far more weight over the course of the study than their “couch potato” fellows.
Study author Dr Matthew, whose team’s findings appear in the journal, said “I’m still amazed at the degree of fat loss that occurs.” Explaining how new technology had threatened face-to-face socializing, he added, “It’s not just a sedentary (久坐的) lifestyle and high calorie foods but an increasing lack of social activities.” Co-author Dr Lei Cao said, “Loneliness is a potential factor for cancer and death; it’s equal to cigarette smoking to a certain extent. Social activities are very vital.”
8. What information can we get from the first two paragraphs
A. Social excitement helps gain more weight.
B. Brown fat can burn energy to produce heat.
C. Brown fat stores calories and makes us fatter.
D. It doesn’t take long to turn white fat into brown.
9. Which of the following words can replace the underlined word in paragraph 2
A. destroys B. relieves C. aids D. harms
10. Which of the following statement does the text support
A. The mice lacking social life lose more weight.
B. Dr Matthew During wasn’t convinced of the result.
C. Levels of brown fat can be increased by socializing.
D. The research findings haven’t been published so far.
11 We can conclude from the text that ________.
A. cancer and death are mainly caused for lack of social life
B. the fat in mice’s belly was reduced because of the relaxing environment
C. surfing the Internet may influence people’s face-to-face communication
D. a sedentary lifestyle and high calorie food influence people’s social life
D
Many animals depend upon sound to find food or communicate with one another. These species understandably suffer when loud motorways cut through their habitats. Scientists have long documented the ecological damage caused by noise pollution. It has always been assumed, however, that noise is a problem unique to animals. But a new study by Ali Akbar Ghotbi-Ravandi, a botanist in Tehran, has revealed that plants fell victim to it too.
Working with a team of colleagues, Dr Ghotbi-Ravandi grew two species in his lab that are commonly found in urban environments. The plants were grown from seed and allowed to mature for two months in the same space before they were divided into two groups. One group was exposed to 73 decibels of traffic noise recorded from a busy motorway in Tehran for 16 hours a day. The other group was left to grow in silence. After 15 days had passed, samples were taken from the youngest fully expanded leaves on every plant in the experiment and studied.
Analysis of their leaves revealed that the chemicals which are indicators of stress in plants were found at much higher levels in the species exposed to the traffic noise. The team also found that certain chemicals normally associated with healthy growth in plants were present at significantly reduced levels in the plants exposed to the noise. Even the weight of the freshly-cut leaves differed — leaves from plants exposed to noise consistently weighed less than those from plants grown in silence.
Dr Ghotbi-Ravandi’s findings make it clear that, though plants lack ears, the vibrations (震动) generated by the noise of traffic still bothers them enough to cause strong stress responses that are not much different to those that would be found in plants exposed to extreme conditions.
The next question is whether all noise pollution affects all species in the same way. The natural world is by no means silent. Whether some plant species have evolved to adapt to the noisy environment, which might one day be collected and transplanted in urban areas, is a mystery worth exploring.
12. What does the author stress in paragraph 1
A. The influence of noise on plants. B. Effects motorways have on animals.
C. The importance of sound for animals. D. Problems plants have surviving in nature.
13. How did Dr Ghotbi-Ravandi conduct the experiment
A. By choosing two rare plant species. B. By collecting samples from old leaves.
C. By making plants grow along motorways. D. By studying plants grown in different conditions.
14. What can we know from Dr Ghotbi-Ravandi’s experiment
A. Plants exposed to noise were less stressful.
B. Changes of chemicals in leaves were unclear.
C Leaves of plants grown in silence weighed more.
D. Plants grew more slowly when grown in silence.
15. What might researchers do in the future
A. To improve the adapting ability of plants. B. To develop new species with high survival rate.
C. To set more restrictions on urban traffic noise. D. To find plants suitable for noisy urban areas.

47. 阅读下面材料，根据具体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。
It was my birthday that day, and my grandfather gave me a gift—a piggy bank. It had an opening through which one could put money in, but the opening was not big enough to reach in and get the money out. The only way to get the money was to break the piggy hank open. My grandfather explained that was the whole idea. And he added. “The piggy bank would help save your money so that, at the end of the year, you might have enough for that bike you dreamed about.” He asked if I would put some of the money he gave me into the piggy bank. I agreed immediately and promised sincerely, “I wouldn’t break it open until I could afford my dream bike.”
Whenever my grandfather gave me some pocket money, he would say, “This is for spending. But you can save some and put it in the piggy bank if you want to save it up.” When he gave me larger amounts, it was clear for me to save the extra money in the piggy bank. For some time, this worked fine. I loved shaking the piggy hank and hearing the sound of the coins. As it became heavier, I grew more excited, dreaming about buying my new bike, and all the adventures I could have on it.
Whenever I wanted to take some money from the piggy bank to buy delicious ice-creams or beautiful presents. I would imagine riding my bike on the street, and thinking of that, my thoughts about buying those things went away. So for almost three years. I had only put money into the piggy hank without taking any out. I thought I wouldn’t break my piggy hank for anything. Bat one day something unexpected happened. I saw a piece of news on the television that a serious earthquake had happened in a nearby province. As many houses were destroyed, a lot of children became homeless. Seeing their shabby clothes and crying faces. I was sleepless that night. Staring at my piggy bank. I was thinking about what I could do with it.
注意：
1．续写词数应为50左右；
2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
The next morning. I took out my piggy bank and shook it.

【答案】Dear friends and distinguished judges,
I’m contestant NO. 12. I’m privileged to stand here and deliver my speech themed on “saving our planet”.
Our planet is facing numerous challenges, such as pollution, deforestation, and climate change, which have led to the destruction of ecosystems and the loss of biodiversity. These problems are largely caused by human activities, including overconsumption, industrialization, and the burning of fossil fuels.
To save our planet, we must take immediate action. First, we should reduce our carbon footprint by adopting sustainable practices, such as using public transportation and recycling waste. Second, we need to protect natural resources by supporting renewable energy sources. Lastly, we must raise awareness about the importance of environmental conservation and encourage others to join the cause.
Let us remember that our planet is our home, and it is our responsibility to protect it. Together, we can make a difference and create a sustainable future for generations to come.
Thank you!

【47题答案】
【答案】参考范文：
The next morning, I took out my piggy bank and shook it. “There should be a lot of money in it. This is years of my savings,” I said to myself. I was about to break it and withdraw money when my mina came back to the bike I wanted to buy, and I hesitated. However, thinking of the look in the eyes of the children hoping for help in the earthquake, I grabbed the piggy bank and threw it to the ground. Suddenly, the piggy bank broke into pieces and the coins rolled all over the floor.
Hearing the noise, my grandfather came over. I explained to him what had happened. Having known my thought, he fondly touched my head and said, “Good boy, you did the right thing. Grandpa is proud of you.” He continued, “My dear grandson, you deserve that bicycle. As a bonus, let’s buy that bike together now.” “Thank you, Grandpa,” I was overwhelmed with happiness. From that day on, you would always see me riding my bike on the street, leaving my hearty laughter behind.
