A
Lost cities that have been found
The White City
In 2015, a team of explorers to Honduras led to the discovery of the White City. They found the ruins in the Mosquitia region of the Central American country which is known for poisonous snakes, vicious jaguars and deadly insects. It is believed that local people hid here when the Spanish conquerors (征服者) occupied their homeland in the 16th century.
Canopus and Heracleion
Modern researchers were teased by the ancient writings about the Egyptian cities Canopus and Heracleion — where Queen Cleopatra often visited. But the cities weren't found until 1992, when a search in Alexandria waters found that the two cities had been flooded for centuries. Artifacts (史前古器物) showed that the cities once highly developed as a trade network, which helped researchers piece together more about the last queen of Egypt.
Machu Picchu
A Yale professor discovered “the Lost City in the Clouds” in 1911. A combination of palaces, plazas, temples and homes, Machu Picchu displays the Inca Empire at the height of its rule. The city, which was abandoned in the 16th century for unknown reasons，was hidden by the local people from the Spanish conquerors, for centuries, keeping it so well preserved.
Troy
The ancient city of Troy in Homer's The Iliad was considered a fictional setting for his characters to run wild. But in 1871, explorations in northwestern Turkey exposed nine ancient cities layered (层叠) on top of each other, the earliest dating back to about 5,000 years before. It was later determined that the sixth or seventh layer contained the lost city of Troy and that it was actually destroyed by an earthquake, not a wooden horse.
1．Why did people hide in the White City in the 16th century
A．To survive the war.　 　　 B．To search for a lost city.
C．To protect their country. D.To avoid dangerous animals.
2．Which of the following was related to a royal family member
A．The White City. B.Canopus and Heracleion.
C．Machu Picchu. D.Troy.
3．What can we learn about Troy
A．It was built by Homer.
B．It consisted of nine cities.
C．It had a history of 5,000 years.
D．It was ruined by a natural disaster.

The Great Sphinx of Giza, Egypt, is one of civilisation's greatest mysteries. No one knows for sure exactly when, why or how it was built. It is an enormous sculpture, believed to be the biggest ever created. It measures about 241 feet (73.5 metres) long and 66 feet (20 metres) high. Due to its unknown origin, this massive creation has puzzled the locals, tourists, historians, and archaeologists for centuries.
The Sphinx has the body of a lion and the head of a man, which gives it the appearance of a mythical (神话里的) creature. It remains mostly intact today, with the exception of its nose. Many legends surround the missing nose, but a widely accepted explanation is that a former ruler had the nose carved off at some point after its creation.
Most archaeologists believe that the Sphinx was built about 4,600 years ago by a pharaoh (法老), or a ruler, named Khafre. His pyramid, the giant tomb that holds Khafre's body, is located directly behind the Sphinx. Stone blocks cut off in order to carve the Sphinx's face were used to build the Khafre Valley Temple at about the same time. Some historians also believe the Sphinx's face was modelled after the face of Khafre.
For most of its existence, the Sphinx was buried in sand. One story claims that around 1400 BC, the pharaoh Thutmose Ⅳ dreamt that the Sphinx ordered him to clear away the sand in return for the crown of Egypt. The sand soon buried the Sphinx again, however. In the 1850s, the sand was partially cleared, and in the 1930s, the Sphinx was completely exposed.Now, however, wind, humidity (湿热), and smog are causing the Sphinx to crumble. Archaeologists must act quickly to preserve this mysterious symbol of Egypt.
4．Why is the Sphinx considered to be mysterious
A．It is the biggest sculpture ever made.
B．Wind and smog didn't break it down.
C．People know little about its origin and construction.
D．It was buried in the sand for centuries.
5．What does the underlined word “intact” in paragraph 2 mean
A．Complete. B.Magical.
C．Mysterious. D.Confusing.
6．What is paragraph 3 mainly about
A．The history of Khafre's famous tomb.
B．Khafre's great achievement in building the Sphinx.
C．Documents recording Khafre's ruling of Egypt.
D．Evidence supporting Khafre's building of the Sphinx.
7．What does the author call on archaeologists to do in the last paragraph
A．Dig out the Sphinx completely.
B．Take action to protect the Sphinx.
C．Make the Sphinx the symbol of Egypt.
D．Beautify the Sphinx to attract more tourists.
C
Is there anybody out there For centuries humans have wondered, although the ways in which we have gone about this have varied. As we have gained a greater understanding of the universe, our searches have taken on more concrete forms. Questions about aliens (外星人) have become a subject for science rather than science fiction.
Now new cooperation between the Very Large Array (VLA) observatory in New Mexico and the SETI Institute in California means that our curiosity about whether aliens exist can be closer than ever before to being satisfied. Data from the VLA's 28 radio telescopes, used to scan a vast area of sky, will be fed through a special supercomputer that will search for distant signals.
How likely it is that a signal will be found, and what this might mean, are hard questions to answer. SETI's existing projects have not discovered any signals from other planets so far. But recent discoveries in space and Earth sciences have provided some encouragement for those who are enthusiastic about the possibility, however remote, of detecting other civilizations.
Once it was thought that our solar system could be unique. Since the discovery of the first exoplanet (系外行星) (a planet beyond the solar system) in the 1990s, thousands more have been located. Around one in five stars is now thought to have a planet in their orbit (运行轨道) in a so called “habitable zone” — that is, at a distance from the star where the temperature means that life is theoretically possible.
Are Earth's several billion humans, along with billions of other animals and plants they share their home with, on their own in the universe If there is another life form somewhere, could it be as intelligent as humans Or could it threaten them I think all of these need further exploration. As explorations of Mars continue, and a new set of observations from the James Webb Space Telescope are set to begin, our interest in the possibility of alien life appears as much as before.
8．Why does the VLA work with SETI
A．To develop new radio telescopes.
B．To find evidence of aliens' existence.
C．To build a special supercomputer.
D．To search for distant signals.
9．What is the encouraging news for scientists exploring distant civilizations
A．Life does indeed exist on exoplanets.
B．New technologies are employed to find aliens.
C．Some exoplanets may have habitable zones.
D．Signals have been discovered from other planets.
10．What is the author's attitude to the existence of aliens
A．Uncertain. B.Positive.
C．Unacceptable. D.Worried.
11．What might be the best title for the text
A．Space: the unknown place
B．Finding aliens: possible or not
C．Receiving signals: aliens appear again
D．Exoplanets: home of aliens
D
On August 21, 1986, a man making his way to Nyos, a village near a lake in northwest Cameroon, found dozens of dead animals along the road. He called into a home to see if the residents knew what had happened. Instead of getting answers, the man discovered that everyone in the village was dead, though they seemed otherwise unharmed.
Within days, officials confirmed that more than 1,700 people had died, along with several thousand animals. The strange and tragic event seemed similar to one that occurred at Lake Monoun two years earlier, just 60 miles to the south, where villagers found 37 people and many animals dead along its shores.
Initially, authorities were confused about the cause. Witnesses reported hearing strange sounds and seeing a sudden rise of white cloud from the lake, which quickly disappeared. Fortunately, the disaster caught the world's attention. Scientists from around the globe gathered in Nyos to investigate. Because Lake Nyos sits on an inactive volcano, their first theory was that the volcano had erupted and sent poisonous gases into the air. After further research, however, they found the cause was much more unusual. The deadly events were called limnic (湖泊的) eruptions.
Although deadly and terrifying, limnic eruptions are extremely unlikely. They occur when dissolved (溶解的) carbon dioxide (CO2) suddenly erupts from the deep waters of a lake, forming a deadly gas cloud above the surface. Because carbon dioxide is heavier than air, the cloud will sink toward the ground, killing wildlife, livestock and humans.
Carbon dioxide dissolves more easily in the deep, cold parts of lakes. As a result, the bottom of the deep lake can have very high levels of carbon dioxide, while the levels decrease towards the lake's surface, and the pressure at the bottom builds and builds. Any changes in pressure can set off the rapid and forceful release of the accumulated carbon dioxide, causing an eruption.
It's unclear what caused the lakes to explode, but considering they're near the Oku Volcanic Field, it's possible that an earthquake or a small volcanic eruption occurred before each disaster.
12．Why are the numbers mentioned in paragraph 2
A．To arouse the empathy of the readers.
B．To display the destructive effect of the events.
C．To prove the necessity of preparing for disasters.
D．To highlight the difficulty looking into the cause.
13．What is to blame for the mass deaths in Nyos
A．High concentrations of CO2.
B．The great power of the lake explosion.
C．Poisonous gases from a volcano eruption.
D．The lake water flooding the nearby villages.
14．Which may have nothing to do with limnic eruptions
A．An earthquake. B.Dissolved carbon dioxide.
C．Great pressure differences. D.Warm environments.
15．Where is the text probably taken from
A．A charity poster. B.A biography.
C．A science magazine. D.A cultural website.

When Did the First Stars Shine
Our universe is home to countless galaxies (星系), with each galaxy hosting hundreds of billions of stars. Each one is a ball of energies powered by the nuclear explosion of elements in their hearts.__16__ But when did the first stars shine
Billions of years ago, there was a time before stars or before lights, called the Dark Ages.There used to be not enough material of high densities (密度) to cause nuclear explosion.Without nuclear explosion, there were no stars.__17__ What ended the Dark Ages was the birth of the first stars，thought to be the Cosmic (宇宙) Dawn.And this marked the age of light in our universe.Stars began shining and galaxies started forming.
Those first stars burned fiercely and died quickly.None of them survived to the present day.__18__ They shone so brightly that their light may still be visible today after traveling billions of light years.
Recently, a team of astronomers used 70 hours of observing time to take pictures of six extremely distant galaxies.__19__ They also calculated that the Cosmic Dawn started to burn between 250 and 350 million years after the Big Bang.That means it took a long time for the initial gas out of the Big Bang to cool and form the first generation of stars.
Hopefully，upcoming missions will be able to directly observe those galaxies in greater detail.And some star mysteries will be disclosed.__20__ How long did it take for the first stars to live and die How did the stars transform the cosmic to give us the universe that we know today
A．Nevertheless, they left their mark.
B．Accordingly, there was no visible light either.
C．Each one also pours out light into the empty universe.
D．It was much darker than it is today with only a little light.
E．For example, when did the Cosmic Dawn exactly take place
F．Based on their observations，they were able to estimate the age of the galaxies.
G．They're so far away that we can't capture them even with powerful telescopes.

Undoubtedly, Mother Nature is always attractive to kids. In our childhood, how often did we turn a deaf ear to our parents' advice Very often! Thus, we landed ourselves in a situation where we greatly regretted our act of not having listened to the advice of the wise.
Such an unforgettable experience I had at the age of 7 gave me an invaluable lesson, after which I deeply understood why my gentle mother was repeating the boring suggestions and I would try to take her suggestions seriously.
In my childhood, I was so crazy about nature that even playing among the colorful flowers in our garden could make my day. Our house was next to the woods which had always stirred up (激起) great curiosity in me in wanting to find out what was within. Every time I saw fascinating butterflies dancing from the woods, my curiosity grew.
But my mother didn't like me wandering off on my own and always ensured that I was within her sight. Even if she allowed me to explore the surrounding area on my own, it was only to be somewhere near the house. Being as curious as the cat, I always desired to explore the woods. It seemed as if my mother had understood my desire, so she had warned me on lots of occasions never to enter the woods alone.
“Mom, can I go out and play in the garden？” I asked.
“Sure，” she would reply each time. “Kate, you can play in the garden but you must promise me one thing — only when I'm with you can you go into the woods. There are no cases of animal attacks on humans, but it's still dangerous for a little kid like you. It's too easy to get lost in the woods.”
“Sure, you've said that many times！” I answered without patience at her repeated reminders.

1．选A　细节理解题。根据The White City中的最后一句可知，人们为了在战争中存活下来躲到了白城。
2．选B　细节理解题。根据Canopus and Heracleion中的最后一句可知，史前器物显示遗落的Canopus and Heracleion跟皇室成员埃及女王有关。
3．选D　细节理解题。根据Troy中的最后一句可知，Troy古城是由于地震而沦为废墟的。
[B]
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了关于埃及的狮身人面像何时、为何以及如何建造的一些传说，并呼吁考古学家采取行动保护这个神秘的埃及象征。
4．选C　 细节理解题。由文章第一段中的“The Great Sphinx of Giza，Egypt ... why or how it was built.”可知，狮身人面像之所以神秘，是因为人们对它的起源和建造知之甚少。
5．选A　 词义猜测题。由画线词后的“Many legends surround the missing nose ... after its creation.”可知，如今除了鼻子外，狮身人面像几乎完好无损。由此可知，画线词意为“完整的”。
6．选D　段落大意题。文章第三段第一句提到“Most archaeologists believe that the Sphinx was built about 4,600 years ago by a pharaoh (法老), or a ruler, named Khafre.”后面紧接着又说明存放卡夫拉遗体的巨大陵墓就位于狮身人面像的正后方，并且大约在同一时间，为了雕刻狮身人面像的脸而切割的石块被用来建造卡夫拉河谷神庙。由此可知，第三段第一句是主旨句，后面的内容是支持卡夫拉建造狮身人面像的证据。
7．选B　 细节理解题。由文章最后一段最后一句“Archaeologists must act quickly to preserve this mysterious symbol of Egypt.”可知，作者呼吁考古学家采取行动保护埃及的狮身人面像。act与take action同义，preserve与protect同义。

8．选B　推理判断题。根据第二段第一句可推知，他们合作的目的应是找到可以证明外星人存在的证据。
9．选C　细节理解题。根据第三段中的“But recent discoveries in space and Earth sciences have provided some encouragement”可知，近来在太空和地球科学领域的新发现很鼓舞人心，而这些发现指的是第四段中的“Since the discovery of ... is theoretically possible.”，即发现了数千颗系外行星以及所谓的“宜居带”，“宜居带”的温度意味着理论上生命可能存在。
10．选A　观点态度题。根据最后一段中的“Are Earth's several billion humans ... need further exploration.”可知，作者对于外星人是否存在持不确定的态度。
11．选B　标题归纳题。通读全文可知，本文主要围绕外星人是否存在以及人类为探索外星人所付出的努力展开，故B项适合作为文章标题。
[D]
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了喀麦隆西北部湖泊附近的尼奥斯村和莫农湖附近发生了人和动物不明原因的大规模死亡灾难性事件，随后揭秘了其产生的原因——湖泊喷发时产生的高浓度的二氧化碳杀死了人和动物。
12．选B　推理判断题。由第二段内容可知，本段主要讲述了灾难性事件：人和动物大量死亡。段中使用具体数字可展示这些事件的破坏性影响。
13．选A　细节理解题。由第三段倒数第一、二句和第四段中“They occur ... and humans.”可知，尼奥斯的大规模死亡应该归咎于湖泊喷发时产生的高浓度的二氧化碳。
14．选D　细节理解题。由倒数第二段和最后一段“It's unclear what caused the lakes to explode, but considering they're near the Oku Volcanic Field, it's possible that an earthquake or a small volcanic eruption occurred before each disaster. ”可知，溶解的高浓度的二氧化碳、巨大的压力差和地震都可能导致湖泊喷发，D项“温暖的环境”未提及，与湖泊喷发无关。
15．选C　推理判断题。通读全文可知，文章讲述了喀麦隆西北部湖泊附近的尼奥斯村和莫农湖附近发生了人和动物不明原因的大规模死亡灾难性事件，并解释了其产生的原因——湖泊喷发时产生的高浓度的二氧化碳杀死了人和动物。由此可知，本文属于科普知识类文章，可能出自“一本科学杂志”。
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章阐述了最早的星星是什么时候开始发光的。
16．选C　根据下一句“But when did the first stars shine？”可知，C项“每一颗星星都把光注入空荡荡的宇宙”切题，引出下文的问题，且与前一句的句式一致，该选项中的“light”对应下一句中的“shine”。
17．选B　上文提到了黑暗时代没有核爆炸，也就没有星星，因此，B项“相应地，那时也没有可见的光”切题，与上文构成递进关系，该选项中的“no visible light”与上文中的“before lights”相呼应。
18．选A　上文提到第一批恒星猛烈燃烧，很快就消失了，没有幸存至今，而下文则说到它们发出的光至今可见，由此推知，A项“然而，他们留下了自己的印记”切题，承上启下，且该选项中的“left their mark”对应下文中的“still be visible today”。
19．选F　根据上一句可推知，下文可能提到这些天文学家的观测结果。因此，F项“基于他们的观测，他们可以推测这些星系的年代”切题，该选项中的“observations”对应上文中的“observing”。
20．选E　根据上一句“And some star mysteries will be disclosed.”可知，E选项承接上文，阐述了可能被解决的问题——宇宙黎明究竟是什么时候发生的，且与下文的两个问题构成顺承关系。
第二部分
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了传说中的楼兰古国以及后人对楼兰遗址的探索。
21．选A　根据下句可知，斯文·赫定发现了楼兰被埋没的遗址。
22．选B　此处与“unexpected”并列，表示楼兰遗址的发现引起了新一轮的、未曾预料到的关于塔克拉玛干沙漠的探索。
23．选B　固定搭配from that point on意为“从那一刻起”。
24．选B　根据上下文判断，各国的探险者只能是踏足过那里，但不一定在那里定居、发财或取得什么成功。set foot “踏上”。
25．选A　下句内容表明是调查发现的结果，因此这里用make a survey，意为“做调查”。
26．选A　空后提到四处是精美的文物被挖掘的现象，许多文物还被运往了国外，因此当地一片狼藉。
27．选C　date back意为“追溯到……”。
28．选A　下文“Loulan Beauty”明显是对女性木乃伊的称谓，故此处用called，意为“被叫作……”。
29．选D　根据“till”可知，这种探索一直持续到今天。
30．选B　cover an area of意为“占地……面积”。
31．选D　上文提到的“the ruins of government offices, temples”都是建筑物，所以用“buildings”表示同类概念。
32．选A　根据上文可知，对楼兰的发现与挖掘是从20世纪就开始的事情，已经历时一个多世纪了。
33．选C　根据上文“a lot of business between East and West”可知，中西方之间的商业往来在此进行。take place意为“发生”。
34．选B　根据空后的“endless ‘forests’ of mounds”可知，这一地区是不毛之地，没有生命存在。
35．选A　从全文看，楼兰古国的遗址自发现以来一直都在吸引着世界各国的探险者。

第三部分
第一节　参考范文：
There are many unexplained mysteries of the natural world, among which the unidentified flying object (UFO) is a particular one. Once referring to the UFO, we always connect it with high tech, outer space culture and many other exciting things.
There have been a number of witnesses around the world, claiming that they chanced to have seen some strange spacecraft in the sky. Until now, the scientists haven't found any hard evidence of real outer space civilisation or supernatural phenomenon, but they have made up their mind to carry out the project to prove what those witnesses said.I firmly believe that, in the future, we can find the solution to the mystery of the UFO.
第二节　参考范文：
However, curiosity got the better of me one morning. I got up the courage and decided to take a chance.Hardly had I entered the woods when I was totally attracted by the sight.The wandering clouds, the blooming flowers and the vigorous trees all kept me fascinated. At the sight of a beautiful butterfly, I tiptoed along the path, bent over, cupped my hands gently and danced with it down the track.Time flew and before I knew it, I was deep in the woods, unable to find the way out.With a feeling of horror totally holding me in its power, I stayed under a tree, tears rolling down my cheeks.
