Are you fond of watching films Does the colorful, natural, or spectacular scenery in the films attract you to travel to their locations Although many films nowadays use many special effects, most scenes are captured in natural places, which can create lasting impressions on audiences. We have selected four beautiful film locations in China. Check them out!
Xixi National Wetland Park & If You Are the One
Lying in Hangzhou, East China's Zhejiang Province, less than 5 kilometers from West Lake, Xixi National Wetland Park covers a total area of 11.5 square kilometers. It has rich ecological resources, beautiful natural scenery, and profound culture. Rivers, ponds, and lakes make up over 70 percent of the park, which is China's first national wetland park integrating (合并) urban, agricultural, and cultural wetlands.
Great Bamboo Sea of China & Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
The Great Bamboo Sea of China, commonly known as the Anji Bamboo Sea, is a national 4A level tourism attraction dominated by Moso bamboo forests located in Anji county, Huzhou, East China's Zhejiang Province. It has been recognized as the largest ecological leisure and tourism area featuring bamboo culture in southeastern China.
Moso bamboo grows all over the mountains in the scenic area, creating a magnificent landscape. The largest bamboo stalk (茎), which has been exhibited at the National Agricultural Exhibition Center, has a diameter of 17 centimeters, with most stalks having a diameter of more than 10 centimeters.
Kaiping Diaolou Cultural Tourism Area & Let the Bullets Fly
Located to the southwest of the Pearl River Delta in South China's Guangdong Province, Kaiping Diaolou Cultural Tourism Area is a well known scenic spot that also serves as a base for scientific education.

The Three Natural Bridges in Wulong is a rare geological wonder of typical karst landforms and is home to three magnificent natural limestone arch bridges.

William Lindesay, a well－known Great Wall expert and conservationist, and his wife Wu Qi have traveled across the globe by the back paths, providing their sons Jimmy and Tommy a unique environment for personal growth.
Sunhats, backpacks, sneakers and trekking poles—these are the day－to－day must－haves of the family. This East－meets－West couple started traveling while their younger son was still a baby in 2003. Most of their trips are far from the hot spots recommended by travel guidebooks—heritage study in the Mongolian deserts, a 53－kilometer hiking tour of New Zealand, a one－day climb of three English summits and a six－day train ride from Beijing to Moscow.
“Real travel may be hard, uncertain, uncomfortable, but there's a feel－good factor when you pass a test of some kind，” Lindesay wrote in the family's newly published travel memoir Pages of Discovery.
Lindesay attaches great importance to learning out of the classroom, saying that children might score well on school tests, but that experience of the world outside, in distant lands, with different languages, scripts, political structures, and religious beliefs, is the real testing ground.
Children in this international family did not have the same pressure to perform on school tests, but they had “homework” on the road. Wu asked her sons to write travel diaries, collect tickets, draw maps and summarize travel tips. She says such habits, though they might not directly improve test scores, will pay__dividends in later life.
These experiences certainly shaped their sons' characters and influenced their chosen study at university. One read world history, the other international relations. The two brothers also share an interest in historical monuments, and the Great Wall in particular. They are now planning to follow in their father's footsteps with a new 4，500－km hike on the Great Wall.
“My parents view the world as a big classroom, and my brother and I are the biggest beneficiaries，” Jimmy says.
24．Which of the following best describes their trips across the world
A．Complicated and dangerous.
B．Unique yet stressful.
C．Challenging yet educational.
D．Entertaining and rewarding.
25．What do the underlined words “pay dividends” mean in Paragraph 5
A．Bring advantages. B．Pay a price.
C．Improve scores. D．Make mistakes.
26．What can we infer about the couple from the text
A．They think little of school education.
B．They believe travel provides real education.
C．They require their sons to follow their career path.
D．They don't expect their sons to perform well on school tests.
27．What does the family's story tell us
A．Roads were made for journeys not destinations.
B．No road is long with good company.
C．A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.
D．It is better to travel 10，000 miles than to read 10，000 books.
C
In today's world of fast paced games and short videos, people are spending less and less time on things. For example, research has shown that the average visitor spends just 15 seconds on a website before moving on to other things. But the Internet is a huge and busy place, with millions of sites to choose from. You might expect people to slow down a bit more when they're in museums full of great works of art. But you'd be wrong.
Several studies have shown that the amount of time for people to spend looking at a piece of art is ten seconds. Many people may spend more time, but not much more—the average is about 28 seconds. At the Tate Modern Museum in London, it's even worse. People there spend an average of just eight seconds on each artwork. And in that short period of time, the visitors are also managing to do another important thing—take selfies!
In recent years museums have been working to change this__behavior. Today, over 170 museums around the world are celebrating “Slow Art Day”. They are asking their visitors to spend at least 5－10 minutes looking at just one work of art. Slow Art supporters believe that when visitors spend more time looking at and studying the work of art, they admire it more. Studying a work of art for more time can also help people get a better understanding of the artist's ideas and what the artist went through to create the work.
Most of the museums taking part in Slow Art Day are choosing just a few works for their visitors to see. Some of the museums are offering chances for visitors to talk about the artworks and share their ideas.
28．Generally speaking, people spend ________ on each piece of art in a museum.
A．8 seconds B．10 seconds
C．15 seconds D．28 seconds
29．What do the underlined words “this behavior” refer to
A．Taking selfies in museums busily.
B．Looking at each artwork hurriedly.
C．Admiring each artwork thoroughly.
D．Celebrating “Slow Art Day” widely.
30．Why is “Slow Art Day” created
A．To stop visitors from taking selfies inside.
B．To attract more people to visit the museums.
C．To make people spend more time on each artwork.
D．To give visitors an opportunity to relax themselves.
31．Which of the following can be the best title of this passage
A．Slow Art Day: a Fruit of Museums!
B．Museums on the Rocks: Please Advise!
C．Museums: Slow down to Admire more!
D．Museums: an Escape from the Fast－paced Life!
D
When Argentinean thinker Juan Jose Sebrelli visited Shanghai in the 1960s as part of a delegation (代表团) invited by the Chinese government, he wrote that the city seemed strangely familiar.
I was reading his writing before boarding a plane on my first trip to Shanghai in 2016. By that time, I was doing research at home on how South American writers, diplomats (外交官) and politicians had developed a new world outlook. The opportunity of my life appeared when I was told I was recommended as the first scholar at a research center co－built by a research council of Argentina and Shanghai University for an exchange program.
My first year living in Shanghai was full of discoveries and adventures. I was in a constant state of curiosity. Every day, I discovered, tried and learned something new. In other words, the city impressed me: Its modern architecture and the opportunities that Shanghai gave to everyone made me feel that this place was one of the most dynamic places I'd ever been to. I recognized that this city allowed both locals and foreigners to rediscover and reinvent themselves. The experience of being in touch with a different culture has enriched my way of looking at and thinking about the world.
After three years, my program at the joint center came to an end. But Shanghai had another new surprise for me: I got an offer to work as a professor in Fudan University, which is an opportunity that I couldn't refuse. Gradually, I regarded Shanghai as my second home and I fully understood the meaning of Sebrelli's writing one day walking through my favorite spots of the city on Wuyuan Road and Wulumuqi Road. Several places made me have a__strange__feeling:__The combination of Art Deco buildings and local stands on the street created an image of my homeland. At that moment, I understood that this city, as Sebrelli wrote, “is now a part of myself.”
32．Why does the author mention Juan Jose Sebrelli
A．To explain Sebrelli's influence on him.
B．To stress the close Argentina－China bond.
C．To introduce his own experience in Shanghai.
D．To show respect and admiration for Sebrelli.
33．What did the author come to Shanghai to do
A．Teach in a university.
B．Join in a program.
C．Develop a new outlook.
D．Lead joint research.
34．How does the author find Shanghai
A．It's curious and strange.
B．It's dynamic and fast－paced.
C．It's inclusive and instructive.
D．It's modern and highly developed.
35．What does the underlined phrase “a strange feeling” refer to in the last paragraph
A．The sense of identity.
B．The sense of belonging.
C．The sense of purpose.
D．The sense of satisfaction.

第二节(满分25分)
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。
Winter break was approaching, and all Scott wanted to do was go snowboarding. Unfortunately, Scott's parents had different plans. They had booked a weeklong tropical cruise (热带船游). Scott hated warm weather and asked if he could just stay at his best friend's house so he could snowboard every day at the local mountain. His parents didn't want to hear anything of it. He kept debating with them about the topic, but they would not change their minds. Family time was important to them, and it was tradition that they spend winter break together.
The week of the cruise arrived, and Scott continued to mumble (咕哝) his complaints as he and his family left their house to head south. Scott's dad told him that he would only make the vacation worse for himself if he didn't change his attitude and open his mind to a new experience. Scott still couldn't stop thinking about all of the snow he was leaving behind.
When they arrived at the port to board the ship, Scott had a hard time admitting that he was actually impressed with the size of the ship. He had seen the brochures but seeing the ship in person was a whole different animal. Then he remembered that the brochure said something about a surfing pool. Maybe surfing would be somewhat like snowboarding. After all, it involved riding a board.
Scott climbed aboard the ship with his parents, and then they walked around to check everything out. He couldn't believe how fancy the accommodations were. The dining room looked like a royal hall; the game room had all of his favorite games; the ship's deck (甲板) had several different swimming pools for different purposes. Then Scott saw the surfing pool. It was incredible. It wasn't a big pool, but it had big waves, and the young man who was demonstrating how to ride the waves made it look like a ton of fun.
注意：
1．续写词数应为150个左右；
2．请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Scott asked his parents if he could try surfing. 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 Gradually, Scott began to love the cruise.

When I was young, my uncle would tell me about all of his experiences traveling around Europe by bicycle. Despite he completed several trips around the UK, he never had the chance to accomplish his main goal of biking across Asia to China. Now, he has several injuries and a busy work schedule. He cannot ride with me, but he's inspired me to complete this dream. Furthermore, he has all of the knowledge of routes to help me ride across Asia. Once the summer starts, I'll leave my house in France, my job as a restaurant server, and my friends and family to start my trip. It'll be sad to say goodbye to my parents and to quit my work, but this once－in－a－lifetime trip will make it all worth it. Riding through Europe during the summer will be comfortable and easy, so having company won't be necessary. But I do worry about being in Central Asia during the winter, so I plan to have my cousin join me for a few months. There will be too much snow to bike anywhere, so we've arranged to get jobs there. Luckily, there are many popular ski fields, so getting seasonal work won't be too difficult. Once warmer weather comes, my cousin will fly home and I'll continue my journey alone. I'll continue my riding all the way to China, where my dad will meet me in Beijing. Then we'll ride together to complete the bicycle trip to Shanghai.

William Lindesay, a well－known Great Wall expert and conservationist, and his wife Wu Qi have traveled across the globe by the back paths, providing their sons Jimmy and Tommy a unique environment for personal growth.
Sunhats, backpacks, sneakers and trekking poles—these are the day－to－day must－haves of the family. This East－meets－West couple started traveling while their younger son was still a baby in 2003. Most of their trips are far from the hot spots recommended by travel guidebooks—heritage study in the Mongolian deserts, a 53－kilometer hiking tour of New Zealand, a one－day climb of three English summits and a six－day train ride from Beijing to Moscow.
“Real travel may be hard, uncertain, uncomfortable, but there's a feel－good factor when you pass a test of some kind，” Lindesay wrote in the family's newly published travel memoir Pages of Discovery.
Lindesay attaches great importance to learning out of the classroom, saying that children might score well on school tests, but that experience of the world outside, in distant lands, with different languages, scripts, political structures, and religious beliefs, is the real testing ground.
Children in this international family did not have the same pressure to perform on school tests, but they had “homework” on the road. Wu asked her sons to write travel diaries, collect tickets, draw maps and summarize travel tips. She says such habits, though they might not directly improve test scores, will pay__dividends in later life.
These experiences certainly shaped their sons' characters and influenced their chosen study at university. One read world history, the other international relations. The two brothers also share an interest in historical monuments, and the Great Wall in particular. They are now planning to follow in their father's footsteps with a new 4，500－km hike on the Great Wall.
“My parents view the world as a big classroom, and my brother and I are the biggest beneficiaries，” Jimmy says.

A．Bring advantages. B．Pay a price.

In today's world of fast paced games and short videos, people are spending less and less time on things. For example, research has shown that the average visitor spends just 15 seconds on a website before moving on to other things. But the Internet is a huge and busy place, with millions of sites to choose from. You might expect people to slow down a bit more when they're in museums full of great works of art. But you'd be wrong.
Several studies have shown that the amount of time for people to spend looking at a piece of art is ten seconds. Many people may spend more time, but not much more—the average is about 28 seconds. At the Tate Modern Museum in London, it's even worse. People there spend an average of just eight seconds on each artwork. And in that short period of time, the visitors are also managing to do another important thing—take selfies!
In recent years museums have been working to change this__behavior. Today, over 170 museums around the world are celebrating “Slow Art Day”. They are asking their visitors to spend at least 5－10 minutes looking at just one work of art. Slow Art supporters believe that when visitors spend more time looking at and studying the work of art, they admire it more. Studying a work of art for more time can also help people get a better understanding of the artist's ideas and what the artist went through to create the work.
Most of the museums taking part in Slow Art Day are choosing just a few works for their visitors to see. Some of the museums are offering chances for visitors to talk about the artworks and share their ideas.
篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了如今人们欣赏一件艺术品花的时间很短，所以博物馆正在努力改变这种行为，让人们花更多的时间欣赏每一件艺术品。
28．Generally speaking, people spend ________ on each piece of art in a museum.
A．8 seconds B．10 seconds
C．15 seconds D．28 seconds
答案：D
解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Many people may ... is about 28 seconds.”可知，一般来说，人们在博物馆里的每一件艺术品上花费28秒钟。故选D。
29．What do the underlined words “this behavior” refer to
A．Taking selfies in museums busily.
B．Looking at each artwork hurriedly.
C．Admiring each artwork thoroughly.
D．Celebrating “Slow Art Day” widely.
答案：B
解析：指代判断题。根据第二段中的“Several studies have shown ... about 28 seconds.(一些研究表明，人们欣赏一件艺术品花费的时间是十秒钟。许多人可能会花费更多的时间，但不会多很多——平均时间约为28秒。)”可知，现在游客花在欣赏一件艺术品上的时间很短，所以近年来，博物馆一直在努力改变这种行为。由此可推知，“this behavior”指的是匆匆地看每一件艺术品的这种行为。故选B。
30．Why is “Slow Art Day” created
A．To stop visitors from taking selfies inside.
B．To attract more people to visit the museums.
C．To make people spend more time on each artwork.
D．To give visitors an opportunity to relax themselves.
答案：C
解析：推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Today, over 170 museums ... just one work of art.(如今，全球170多家博物馆正在庆祝‘慢艺术日’。他们要求参观者至少花5到10分钟观看一件艺术品。)”并结合第二段提到的人们平均花费28秒欣赏一件艺术品可推知，设立“慢艺术日”是为了让人们花更多的时间在艺术品上。故选C。
31．Which of the following can be the best title of this passage
A．Slow Art Day: a Fruit of Museums!
B．Museums on the Rocks: Please Advise!
C．Museums: Slow down to Admire more!
D．Museums: an Escape from the Fast－paced Life!
答案：C
解析：标题判断题。通读全文可知，文章主要介绍了博物馆正在努力让人们花更多的时间欣赏每一件艺术品。由此可知，C项(博物馆：慢下来欣赏更多！)最适合作为文章标题。故选C。
D
When Argentinean thinker Juan Jose Sebrelli visited Shanghai in the 1960s as part of a delegation (代表团) invited by the Chinese government, he wrote that the city seemed strangely familiar.
I was reading his writing before boarding a plane on my first trip to Shanghai in 2016. By that time, I was doing research at home on how South American writers, diplomats (外交官) and politicians had developed a new world outlook. The opportunity of my life appeared when I was told I was recommended as the first scholar at a research center co－built by a research council of Argentina and Shanghai University for an exchange program.
My first year living in Shanghai was full of discoveries and adventures. I was in a constant state of curiosity. Every day, I discovered, tried and learned something new. In other words, the city impressed me: Its modern architecture and the opportunities that Shanghai gave to everyone made me feel that this place was one of the most dynamic places I'd ever been to. I recognized that this city allowed both locals and foreigners to rediscover and reinvent themselves. The experience of being in touch with a different culture has enriched my way of looking at and thinking about the world.
After three years, my program at the joint center came to an end. But Shanghai had another new surprise for me: I got an offer to work as a professor in Fudan University, which is an opportunity that I couldn't refuse. Gradually, I regarded Shanghai as my second home and I fully understood the meaning of Sebrelli's writing one day walking through my favorite spots of the city on Wuyuan Road and Wulumuqi Road. Several places made me have a__strange__feeling:__The combination of Art Deco buildings and local stands on the street created an image of my homeland. At that moment, I understood that this city, as Sebrelli wrote, “is now a part of myself.”
篇章导读：本文是一篇记叙文。作者主要讲述了自己和上海这座城市之间的故事。

A．To explain Sebrelli's influence on him.
B．To stress the close Argentina－China bond.
C．To introduce his own experience in Shanghai.
D．To show respect and admiration for Sebrelli.
答案：C
解析：推理判断题。根据第一段“When Argentinean thinker ... strangely familiar.(20世纪60年代，当阿根廷思想家Juan Jose Sebrelli (胡安·何塞·塞布雷利)作为中国政府邀请的代表团成员访问上海时，他写道，这座城市似乎出奇地熟悉。)”及第二段中的“I was reading ... in 2016.(2016年，在我第一次登机去上海前，我正在读他的文章。)”可推知，作者提及Juan Jose Sebrelli是为了引出自己在上海的经历。故选C。
33．What did the author come to Shanghai to do
A．Teach in a university.
B．Join in a program.
C．Develop a new outlook.
D．Lead joint research.
答案：B
解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The opportunity of my life ... an exchange program.(当我被告知我被推荐为阿根廷研究委员会和上海大学共同开办的研究中心的交换项目的第一个学者时，我迎来了人生的转机。)”可知，作者去上海是为了参加一个项目。故选B。
34．How does the author find Shanghai
A．It's curious and strange.
B．It's dynamic and fast－paced.
C．It's inclusive and instructive.

35．What does the underlined phrase “a strange feeling” refer to in the last paragraph
A．The sense of identity.
B．The sense of belonging.
C．The sense of purpose.
D．The sense of satisfaction.
答案：B
解析：指代判断题。根据画线短语后文“The combination of ... a part of myself.(装饰艺术风格的建筑和街边的当地摊位相结合，塑造了我的祖国的形象。在那一刻，我明白了这座城市，正如Sebrelli写的那样，‘现在是我的一部分。’)”可推知，上海让作者产生了归属感，而“一种奇怪的感觉”指的正是这种归属感。故选B。

篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。文章以一个重庆本地人的视角，对重庆这座城市的人文、历史、气候、发展变化等方面进行了介绍，表达了作者对重庆这座城市的热爱。
56．答案：owns
解析：考查动词的时态和主谓一致。句意：重庆拥有美丽的自然风光和历史名胜古迹，具有浓郁的地方文化色彩。本句描述客观事实，应用一般现在时；主语是Chongqing，表示单数。故填owns。
57．答案：for
解析：考查介词。句意：这座城市已成为长江上游的热门旅游目的地，以其辛辣的食物和独特的风景而闻名。(be) known for ... 是固定短语，意为“以……而闻名”。故填for。
58．答案：representing
解析：考查非谓语动词。此处为独立主格结构作状语，each one和represent之间是主动关系，应用现在分词。故填representing。
59．答案：Built
解析：考查非谓语动词。设空处应用非谓语动词，Chongqing和build之间是被动关系，应用过去分词作状语；位于句首，单词首字母应大写。故填Built。
60．答案：and
解析：考查连词。its burning summers和its typical foods是并列关系，句子是肯定句，应用and连接，表示并列。故填and。
61．答案：a
解析：考查冠词。native意为“本地人”，是可数名词，此处表示泛指，应用不定冠词修饰，且Chongqing的发音以辅音音素开头。故填a。
62．答案：to brief
解析：考查非谓语动词。ask sb to do sth是固定短语，意为“让某人做某事”，应用不定式作宾语补足语。故填to brief。
63．答案：development
解析：考查词性转换。economic是形容词，修饰名词，develop的名词是development，意为“发展”，是不可数名词。故填development。
64．答案：that
解析：考查定语从句的引导词。设空处引导限制性定语从句，从句中缺少主语，先行词changes指物，且被不定代词all修饰，只能用关系代词that引导。故填that。
65．答案：extremely
解析：考查词性转换。设空处应用副词修饰形容词proud，意为“非常”。故填extremely。

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。
Winter break was approaching, and all Scott wanted to do was go snowboarding. Unfortunately, Scott's parents had different plans. They had booked a weeklong tropical cruise (热带船游). Scott hated warm weather and asked if he could just stay at his best friend's house so he could snowboard every day at the local mountain. His parents didn't want to hear anything of it. He kept debating with them about the topic, but they would not change their minds. Family time was important to them, and it was tradition that they spend winter break together.
The week of the cruise arrived, and Scott continued to mumble (咕哝) his complaints as he and his family left their house to head south. Scott's dad told him that he would only make the vacation worse for himself if he didn't change his attitude and open his mind to a new experience. Scott still couldn't stop thinking about all of the snow he was leaving behind.
When they arrived at the port to board the ship, Scott had a hard time admitting that he was actually impressed with the size of the ship. He had seen the brochures but seeing the ship in person was a whole different animal. Then he remembered that the brochure said something about a surfing pool. Maybe surfing would be somewhat like snowboarding. After all, it involved riding a board.
Scott climbed aboard the ship with his parents, and then they walked around to check everything out. He couldn't believe how fancy the accommodations were. The dining room looked like a royal hall; the game room had all of his favorite games; the ship's deck (甲板) had several different swimming pools for different purposes. Then Scott saw the surfing pool. It was incredible. It wasn't a big pool, but it had big waves, and the young man who was demonstrating how to ride the waves made it look like a ton of fun.
注意：
1．续写词数应为150个左右；
2．请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Scott asked his parents if he could try surfing. 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 Gradually, Scott began to love the cruise. 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
写前导读：本文是一篇记叙文。Scott (斯科特)和父母像往年一样要在寒假出去度假。他想要滑雪，但父母却预订了为期一周的热带船游。Scott无奈妥协，然而上船后，他被船上的设施吸引，尤其是看到冲浪运动后，他忍不住想要尝试一下，他会如愿以偿吗？他为什么逐渐爱上了这次船游？
[精彩范文]
Scott asked his parents if he could try surfing. They said, “Of course.” And much to Scott's surprise, they wanted to try surfing too. When Scott and his parents had their swimsuits on, Scott's dad went first and only lasted about five seconds before he wiped out. Then it was his mom's turn. She actually made it longer than his dad did. When it was Scott's turn, he was excited but a little bit nervous. He hopped on the board and took a stance similar to his snowboarding stance. Then the waves started. It felt similar to snowboarding but different at the same time. On his first ride, Scott rode for almost 30 seconds before wiping out. He was crazy about it though.
Gradually, Scott began to love the cruise. He got to know the people who often surfed there q(共110张PPT)

When I was young, my uncle would tell me about all of his experiences traveling around Europe by bicycle. Despite he completed several trips around the UK, he never had the chance to accomplish his main goal of biking across Asia to China. Now, he has several injuries and a busy work
schedule. He cannot ride with me, but he's inspired me to complete this dream. Furthermore, he has all of the knowledge of routes to help me ride across Asia. Once the summer starts, I'll leave my house in France, my job as a restaurant server, and my
friends and family to start my trip. It'll be sad to say goodbye to my parents and to quit my work, but this once-in-a-lifetime trip will make it all worth it. Riding through Europe during the summer will be comfortable and easy, so having company won't be necessary. But I do worry about being in Central Asia during the winter, so I plan to have my cousin join me for a few months. There will be too much snow to bike anywhere, so we've arranged to get jobs there. Luckily, there are many popular ski fields, so getting seasonal work won't be too difficult. Once warmer weather comes, my cousin will fly home and I'll continue my journey alone. I'll continue my riding all the way to China, where my dad will meet me in Beijing. Then we'll ride together to complete the bicycle trip to Shanghai.
18．Where will the speaker start his trip
A．In France. B．In China.
C．In the UK.

B．By staying with his parents.

Are you fond of watching films Does the colorful, natural, or spectacular scenery in the films attract you to travel to their locations Although many films nowadays use many special effects, most scenes are captured in natural places, which can create lasting impressions on audiences. We have selected four beautiful film locations in China. Check them out!
Xixi National Wetland Park & If You Are the One
Lying in Hangzhou, East China's Zhejiang Province, less than 5 kilometers from West Lake, Xixi National Wetland Park covers a total area of 11.5 square kilometers. It has rich ecological resources, beautiful natural scenery, and profound culture. Rivers, ponds, and lakes make up over 70 percent of the park, which is China's first national wetland park integrating (合并) urban, agricultural, and cultural wetlands.
Great Bamboo Sea of China & Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
The Great Bamboo Sea of China, commonly known as the Anji Bamboo Sea, is a national 4A level tourism attraction dominated by Moso bamboo forests located in Anji county, Huzhou, East China's Zhejiang Province. It has been recognized as the largest ecological leisure and tourism area featuring bamboo culture in southeastern China.
Moso bamboo grows all over the mountains in the scenic area, creating a magnificent landscape. The largest bamboo stalk (茎), which has been exhibited at the National Agricultural Exhibition Center, has a diameter of 17 centimeters, with most stalks having a diameter of more than 10 centimeters.
Kaiping Diaolou Cultural Tourism Area & Let the Bullets Fly
Located to the southwest of the Pearl River Delta in South China's Guangdong Province, Kaiping Diaolou Cultural Tourism Area is a well known scenic spot that also serves as a base for scientific education. The magnificent and distinctive gardens, traditional and simple folk houses, and the diaolou (a multi story folk residence) complexly joined with Chinese and Western architectural forms are wonderfully integrated with the surrounding mountains and rivers, ponds, farms, and rice fields in the tourism area.
With a long history and profound cultural resources, Kaiping Diaolou was on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2007.
Wulong Karst Tourism Area & Curse of the Golden Flower
Wulong Karst Tourism Area, located in Chongqing's Wulong district, has unique karst landscapes including three sections and also impresses visitors with distinctive folk customs of the Tujia, Miao, and Mulam ethnic groups.
The Three Natural Bridges in Wulong is a rare geological wonder of typical karst landforms and is home to three magnificent natural limestone arch bridges.

William Lindesay, a well－known Great Wall expert and conservationist, and his wife Wu Qi have traveled across the globe by the back paths, providing their sons Jimmy and Tommy a unique environment for personal growth.
Sunhats, backpacks, sneakers and trekking poles—these are the day-to-day must-haves of the family. This East-meets-West couple started traveling while their younger son was still a baby in 2003. Most of their trips are far from the hot spots recommended by travel guidebooks—heritage study in the Mongolian deserts, a 53-kilometer hiking tour of New Zealand, a one-day climb of three English summits and a six-day train ride from Beijing to Moscow.
“Real travel may be hard, uncertain, uncomfortable, but there's a feel－good factor when you pass a test of some kind，” Lindesay wrote in the family's newly published travel memoir Pages of Discovery.
Lindesay attaches great importance to learning out of the classroom, saying that children might score well on school tests, but that experience of the world outside, in distant lands, with different languages, scripts, political structures, and religious beliefs, is the real testing ground.
Children in this international family did not have the same pressure to perform on school tests, but they had “homework” on the road. Wu asked her sons to write travel
diaries, collect tickets, draw maps and summarize travel tips. She says such habits, though they might not directly improve test scores, will pay dividends in later life.
These experiences certainly shaped their sons' characters and influenced their chosen study at university. One read world history, the other international relations. The two brothers also share an interest in historical monuments, and the Great Wall in particular. They are now planning to follow in their father's footsteps with a new 4，500-km hike on the Great Wall.
“My parents view the world as a big classroom, and my brother and I are the biggest beneficiaries，” Jimmy says.
篇章导读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了著名的长城专家和自然环境保护主义者William Lindesay (威廉·林德赛)和妻子带着孩子们环球旅行，他们一家用实际行动践行了“读万卷书不如行万里路”，同时这样做也对两个孩子产生了深远的影响。
24．Which of the following best describes their trips across the world
A．Complicated and dangerous.
B．Unique yet stressful.
C．Challenging yet educational.
D．Entertaining and rewarding.
解析：推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Real travel may be hard, uncertain, uncomfortable(真正的旅行可能是艰难的、不确定的、不舒服的)”可推知，他们的旅行具有挑战性；根据倒数第二段中的“These experiences ... study at university.(这些经历无疑塑造了他们儿子们的性格，并影响了他们对大学学习的选择。)”可推知，这些旅行对孩子们来说具有教育意义。故选C。
25．What do the underlined words “pay dividends” mean in Paragraph 5
A．Bring advantages. B．Pay a price.
C．Improve scores. D．Make mistakes.
解析：词义猜测题。根据第五段中画线短语所在句前半句“She says such habits ... test scores(她说，这样的习惯虽然可能不会直接提高考试成绩)”中的though表达让步关系可知，画线短语与前半句表达的意思相反，由此可推知，画线短语pay dividends意为“带来好处”。故选A。
26．What can we infer about the couple from the text
A．They think little of school education.
B．They believe travel provides real education.
C．They require their sons to follow their career path.
D．They don't expect their sons to perform well on school tests.
解析：推理判断题。根据第四段“Lindesay attaches great importance ... the real testing ground.(林德赛非常重视课外学习，他说，孩子们可能会在学校考试中取得好成绩，但在遥远的地方，在不同的语言、文字、政治结构和宗教信仰下，对外部世界的体验才是真正的考验。)”和第五段中的“Wu asked her sons to write travel diaries ... later life.(吴让她的儿子们写旅行日记，收集车票，绘制地图，总结旅行小贴士。她说，这样的习惯虽然可能不会直接提高考试成绩，但会在以后的生活中带来好处。)”可推知，这对夫妇认为旅行能提供真正的教育。故选B。
27．What does the family's story tell us
A．Roads were made for journeys not destinations.
B．No road is long with good company.
C．A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.
D．It is better to travel 10，000 miles than to read 10，000 books.
解析：推理判断题。通读全文可知，Lindesay夫妇非常重视课外学习，通过环球旅行，孩子们受益很多，他们认为旅行能提供真正的教育。由此可推知，这家人的故事告诉我们“读万卷书不如行万里路”。故选D。
C
In today's world of fast paced games and short videos, people are spending less and less time on things. For example, research has shown that the average visitor spends just 15 seconds on a website before moving on to other things. But the Internet is a huge and busy place, with millions of sites to choose from. You might expect people to slow down a bit more when they're in museums full of great works of art. But you'd be wrong.
Several studies have shown that the amount of time for people to spend looking at a piece of art is ten seconds. Many people may spend more time, but not much more—the average is about 28 seconds. At the Tate Modern Museum in London, it's even worse.
People there spend an average of just eight seconds on each artwork. And in that short period of time, the visitors are also managing to do another important thing—take selfies!
In recent years museums have been working to change this__behavior. Today, over 170 museums around the world are celebrating “Slow Art Day”. They are asking their visitors to spend at least 5－10 minutes looking at just one work of art. Slow Art supporters believe that when visitors spend more time looking at and studying the work of art, they admire it more. Studying a work of art for more time can also help people get a better understanding of the artist's ideas and what the artist went through to create the work.
Most of the museums taking part in Slow Art Day are choosing just a few works for their visitors to see. Some of the museums are offering chances for visitors to talk about the artworks and share their ideas.
篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了如今人们欣赏一件艺术品花的时间很短，所以博物馆正在努力改变这种行为，让人们花更多的时间欣赏每一件艺术品。
28．Generally speaking, people spend ________ on each piece of art in a museum.
A．8 seconds B．10 seconds
C．15 seconds D．28 seconds
解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Many people may ... is about 28 seconds.”可知，一般来说，人们在博物馆里的每一件艺术品上花费28秒钟。故选D。
29．What do the underlined words “this behavior” refer to
A．Taking selfies in museums busily.
B．Looking at each artwork hurriedly.
C．Admiring each artwork thoroughly.
D．Celebrating “Slow Art Day” widely.
解析：指代判断题。根据第二段中的“Several studies have shown ... about 28 seconds.(一些研究表明，人们欣赏一件艺术品花费的时间是十秒钟。许多人可能会花费更多的时间，但不会多很多——平均时间约为28秒。)”可知，现在游客花在欣赏一件艺术品上的时间很短，所以近年来，博物馆一直在努力改变这种行为。由此可推知，“this behavior”指的是匆匆地看每一件艺术品的这种行为。故选B。
30．Why is “Slow Art Day” created
A．To stop visitors from taking selfies inside.
B．To attract more people to visit the museums.
C．To make people spend more time on each artwork.

When Argentinean thinker Juan Jose Sebrelli visited Shanghai in the 1960s as part of a delegation (代表团) invited by the Chinese government, he wrote that the city seemed strangely familiar.
I was reading his writing before boarding a plane on my first trip to Shanghai in 2016. By that time, I was doing research at home on how South American writers, diplomats (外交官) and politicians had developed a new world outlook. The opportunity of my life appeared when I was told I was recommended as the first scholar at a research center co－built by a research council of Argentina and Shanghai University for an exchange program.
My first year living in Shanghai was full of discoveries and adventures. I was in a constant state of curiosity. Every day, I discovered, tried and learned something new. In other words, the city impressed me: Its modern architecture and the opportunities that Shanghai gave to everyone made me feel that this place was one of the most dynamic places I'd ever been to. I recognized that this city allowed both locals and foreigners to rediscover and reinvent themselves. The experience of being in touch with a different culture has enriched my way of looking at and thinking about the world.
After three years, my program at the joint center came to an end. But Shanghai had another new surprise for me: I got an offer to work as a professor in Fudan University,
which is an opportunity that I couldn't refuse. Gradually, I regarded Shanghai as my second home and I fully understood the meaning of Sebrelli's writing one day walking through my favorite spots of the city on Wuyuan Road and Wulumuqi Road. Several places made me have a strange feeling: The combination of Art Deco buildings and local stands on the street created an image of my homeland. At that moment, I understood that this city, as Sebrelli wrote, “is now a part of myself.”
篇章导读：本文是一篇记叙文。作者主要讲述了自己和上海这座城市之间的故事。
32．Why does the author mention Juan Jose Sebrelli
A．To explain Sebrelli's influence on him.
B．To stress the close Argentina－China bond.
C．To introduce his own experience in Shanghai.
D．To show respect and admiration for Sebrelli.
解析：推理判断题。根据第一段“When Argentinean thinker ... strangely familiar.(20世纪60年代，当阿根廷思想家Juan Jose Sebrelli (胡安·何塞·塞布雷利)作为中国政府邀请的代表团成员访问上海时，他写道，这座城市似乎出奇地熟悉。)”及第二段中的“I was reading ... in 2016.(2016年，在我第一次登机去上海前，我正在读他的文章。)”可推知，作者提及Juan Jose Sebrelli是为了引出自己在上海的经历。故选C。
33．What did the author come to Shanghai to do
A．Teach in a university.
B．Join in a program.
C．Develop a new outlook.
D．Lead joint research.
解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The opportunity of my life ... an exchange program.(当我被告知我被推荐为阿根廷研究委员会和上海大学共同开办的研究中心的交换项目的第一个学者时，我迎来了人生的转机。)”可知，作者去上海是为了参加一个项目。故选B。
34．How does the author find Shanghai
A．It's curious and strange.
B．It's dynamic and fast－paced.
C．It's inclusive and instructive.

35．What does the underlined phrase “a strange feeling” refer to in the last paragraph
A．The sense of identity. B．The sense of belonging.
C．The sense of purpose. D．The sense of satisfaction.
解析：指代判断题。根据画线短语后文“The combination of ... a part of myself.(装饰艺术风格的建筑和街边的当地摊位相结合，塑造了我的祖国的形象。在那一刻，我明白了这座城市，正如Sebrelli写的那样，‘现在是我的一部分。’)”可推知，上海让作者产生了归属感，而“一种奇怪的感觉”指的正是这种归属感。故选B。

56．答案：owns

第二节(满分25分)
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。
Winter break was approaching, and all Scott wanted to do was go snowboarding. Unfortunately, Scott's parents had different plans. They had booked a weeklong tropical cruise (热带船游). Scott hated warm weather and asked if he could just stay at his best friend's house so he could snowboard every day at the local mountain. His parents didn't want to hear anything of it. He kept debating with them about the topic, but they would not change their minds. Family time was important to them, and it was tradition that they spend winter break together.
The week of the cruise arrived, and Scott continued to mumble (咕哝) his complaints as he and his family left their house to head south. Scott's dad told him that he would only make the vacation worse for himself if he didn't change his attitude and open his mind to a new experience. Scott still couldn't stop thinking about all of the snow he was leaving behind.
When they arrived at the port to board the ship, Scott had a hard time admitting that he was actually impressed with the size of the ship. He had seen the brochures but seeing the ship in person was a whole different animal. Then he remembered that the brochure said something about a surfing pool. Maybe surfing would be somewhat like snowboarding. After all, it involved riding a board.
Scott climbed aboard the ship with his parents, and then they walked around to check everything out. He couldn't believe how fancy the accommodations were. The dining room looked like a royal hall; the game room had all of his favorite games; the ship's deck (甲
板) had several different swimming pools for different purposes. Then Scott saw the surfing pool. It was incredible. It wasn't a big pool, but it had big waves, and the young man who was demonstrating how to ride the waves made it look like a ton of fun.
注意：
1．续写词数应为150个左右；
2．请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Scott asked his parents if he could try surfing.﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍
Gradually, Scott began to love the cruise.﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍
写前导读：本文是一篇记叙文。Scott (斯科特)和父母像往年一样要在寒假出去度假。他想要滑雪，但父母却预订了为期一周的热带船游。Scott无奈妥协，然而上船后，他被船上的设施吸引，尤其是看到冲浪运动后，他忍不住想要尝试一下，他会如愿以偿吗？他为什么逐渐爱上了这次船游？
[精彩范文]
Scott asked his parents if he could try surfing. They said, “Of course.” And much to Scott's surprise, they wanted to try surfing too. When Scott and his parents had their swimsuits on, Scott's dad went first and only lasted about five seconds before he wiped out. Then it was his mom's turn. She actually made it longer than his dad did. When it was Scott's turn, he was excited but a little bit nervous. He hopped on the board and took a stance similar to his snowboarding stance. Then the waves started. It felt similar to snowboarding but different at the same time. On his first ride, Scott rode for almost 30 seconds before wiping out. He was crazy about it though.
Gradually, Scott began to love the cruise. He got to know the people who often surfed there quite well. By the time the weeklong cruise was over, Scott had new friends he planned to keep in touch with. Scott is the brave and lucky one since only eight percent of the experiencer or so really fell in love with it among a lot of the passengers who tried surfing the first day of the cruise. With a new hobby, and great memories, he apologized to his parents for his previous moaning and groaning and told them it was his best vacation ever.
