The Tianwen 1 probe was launched（发射）in Hainan on July 23, 2020 and entered its parking orbit（轨道）above Mars in February, 2021. Once the probe is in Mars’ orbit, the rover will separate from the probe.China’s Tianwen 1 rover successfully landed on Mars on May 15, 2021. The rover worked on Mars for at least three months and did a lot of surveys of the planet. The rover is 1.85 metres tall and weighs about 240 kilograms. It has six wheels and four solar panels and is able to move at 200 metres per hour on Mars.

Do you know where the name “Tianwen” comes from? It’s from the long poem “Tianwen”, meaning Heavenly Questions or Questions to heaven, written by Qu Yuan (about 340-278 BC), one of the greatest poets of ancient China.

“The landing left a Chinese mark on Mars for the first time. It is another landmark progress in China’s space industry development.” said President Xi.

31．How long did it take Tianwen 1 to get to Mars?

A．Three months.         B．Half a year.            C．About ten months.   D．Over a year.

32．Which of the following about China’s Tianwen 1 rover is right?

A．It entered its parking orbit in 2020.

B．It landed on Mars for the second time.

C．Its name is from the story in ancient China.

D．It can move at 200m/h and did many surveys on Mars.

33．What does the landing on Mars mark?

Zhong Fangrong could have chosen any college major she wanted. This girl from Hunan got one of the highest gaokao scores in the country this year. But she chose archaeology(考古), one of the least popular majors in China. Her choice has led to heated discussion online.

Some people think Zhong made a poor choice. They say she’ll have a hard time finding a job. But others have supported her, saying that people should not choose their majors based only on practical reasons.

The most popular majors nowadays seem to be practical ones—that is, majors that will lead to lots of high-paying jobs. Majoring in arts or humanities seems to be opposite.

Most American people think that Asian and Jewish parents like to make their kids become doctors and lawyers, as these jobs earn a lot of money. However, everyone has a different reason for picking a major. I, for instance, chose to study at the same university that my favorite English teacher studied at.

It is true that some majors, such as philosophy(哲学) and poetry, are seen as unpractical in the US. But some students pick them anyway. In fact, some students try two or even three different majors until they find the right fit.

Journalism(新闻学) was my choice in the end. Sometimes I wonder how my life might have turned out if I’d chosen differently. But so far, it seems like it was the right choice.

34．What are people discussing online about Zhong?

A．Which college she should choose.                B．How she got a high gaokao score.

C．Why she had trouble finding a job.              D．Whether she should study archaeology.

35．According to the passage, most people think that unpractical majors ________.

A．are more difficult to learn                              B．make it easier to find jobs

C．are becoming popular in China                    D．make people earn less money

36．From Paragraphs 4 and 5, we can infer ________.

A．Asian students prefer to study humanities

B．American students prefer philosophy and poetry

C．Students choose their majors based on different reasons

D．Students choose their majors based on their parents’ ideas

37．What’s the writer’s opinion on picking a major?

A．It’s important to take advice from parents.

B．It’s a good idea to turn to teachers for help.

C．It’s necessary to choose what best fits them.

D．It’s practical to try one major in college.

C

Every year on March 22, World Water Day focuses people’s attention on the importance of water across the world. In 2018, the theme is “Nature for Water”.

This year’s theme, “Nature for Water”, focuses on how nature-based solutions (NBS) can be used to help fix the water problems facing many people and ecosystems (生态系统) at the present time. Nature-based solutions are ways of managing plants, soils and wetlands, including rivers and lakes, to help with the management of water availability and quality. They will not solve the problem of drought (干旱) but should provide effective ways for improving water quality and increasing water supplies.

Anything that includes positively altering nature is an NBS.

Bringing back forests, grasslands and natural wetlands

By bringing back natural ecosystems, we can help to rebalance water levels around the world, benefitting both humans and ecosystems;

Connecting rivers to floodplains again

If properly managed, natural floodplains can provide help to wildlife, fish and people by giving them both space and clean water;

Building sand dams

In very dry areas, such as Zimbabwe, sand dams are used to increase the amount of water that can be stored, meaning that farmers can grow more crops and people can have enough drinking water;

Landscape restoration

Excessive logging (过度砍伐) in Alwar, India, has caused extremely serious droughts. The government has focused on the regeneration of forests and soils, which has not only helped the rivers to refill but also wildlife, such as antelopes and leopards, to return to the area.

38．What can we learn about the nature-based solutions?

A．They will successfully solve the problem of drought.

B．They make plants, soils and wetlands totally different.

C．They can improve water quality and increase water supplies.

D．They can help us learn why people in history faced water problems.

39．The underlined word “altering” is closest in meaning to “________”.

A．changing                B．creating                  C．increasing               D．breaking

40．Why is it important to bring back natural ecosystems?

A．Because they give space to both wildlife and fish.

B．Because they help increase water levels around the world.

C．Because they can supply clean water to both animals and humans.

D．Because they help bring water levels around the Earth back into balance.

41．This article is most likely a(n) ________.

A．advertisement         B．speech                    C．newspaper article     D．interview

D

Now, the Law of the Jungle says that if there is a disagreement about the right of a man’s cub (幼崽) to be part of the Pack (兽群), he must be spoken for by at least two members of the Pack who are not his father and mother.

“Who speaks for this man’s cub?” asked the leader of the wolf Pack Akela. There was no answer. Mother Wolf got ready for a fight. Her last fight.

There is only one non-wolf allowed at the Pack Council, a sleepy brown bear called Baloo. Baloo teaches the wolf cubs the Law of the Jungle. He is accepted by the wolves because he eats only nuts and roots and honey. Now Baloo stood up on his hindquarters (后腿) and shouted.

“I speak for the man’s cub. Let him run with the Pack, and become part of the Pack with the others. I can teach him the Law of the Jungle.”

“We need another one,” said Akela. “Baloo speaks for the man’s cub, and he is the teacher of our young cubs. Who speaks besides Baloo?”

A black shadow came into the circle. It was Bagheera the Black Panther. Everybody knew Bagheera, and nobody wanted to make him angry.

“Akela, and the wolf Pack,” he shouted. “The Law of the Jungle says that a cub can be saved if someone pays a price for him. Now I can give you one fat recently killed bull, if you accept the man’s cub according to the Law. Is it difficult to decide?”

Mowgli, the man’s cub, was still very interested in the stones, and he did not notice when the wolves came and looked at him one by one. At last they all came down the hill for the dead bull, and only Akela, Bagheera, Baloo, and Mowgli’s wolf family were left. The tiger Shere Khan roared all night. He was angry because the wolves accepted Mowgli in the Pack.

“It was a good decision,” said Akela. “Men and their cubs are very wise. He may be a help in time.”

“Yes, a help in time of need; for no one can hope to lead the Pack forever,” said Bagheera.

“Take him away,” he said to Father Wolf, “and teach him like the other wolf cubs.”

—From Mowgli’s Brothers

42．Who spoke for the man’s cub at last?

A．Shere Khan and Akela.                               B．Mother Wolf and Father Wolf.

C．Bangheera and Baloo.                                 D．Mowgli and young wolves.

43．How did Bagheera help Mowgli to be accepted by the Pack?

A．By teaching him like the other wolf cubs.     B．By giving the Pack one fat killed bull.

C．By fighting with wolves and Shere Khan.     D．By helping Akela kill the tiger Shere Khan.

44．Which is the right order of what happened in the story?

Father Wolf taught Mowgli like other wolf cubs.

Akela asked the wolves to speak for the cub.

The tiger Shere Khan roared all night angrily.

The wolves came down the hill to eat dead bull.

Bagheera spoke for the man’s cub.

A．b – e – c – d – a        B．b – e – d – c – a        C．b – c – e – a – d        D．b – c – a- d – e

45．What can we infer according to the passage?

A．Mowgli might help Akela out of danger.                 B．Akela had right to speak for Mowgli.

C．Shere Khan wished the Pack to accept Mowgli.     D．Everyone in the jungle was afraid of Baloo.

七、阅读与回答问题(本题共5小题；每小题2分, 满分10分)

请认真阅读下面短文, 并根据短文内容回答问题。

Today, doctors know a lot about how to stop germs (细菌) from spreading. They advise people to cover their mouths when they cough or sneeze. Washing hands also helps. Storing food correctly can help prevent illness as well.

However, people didn’t use to know a lot about germs. For many years, even doctors didn’t really understand how illnesses spread. They did many things to avoid getting sick. Some doctors even tried dressing like birds.

In 1619, Charles de Lorme designed a special uniform for doctors treating plague (瘟疫) patients. The uniform had a long coat, gloves, boots and a wide-side hat. The doctors also carried long, wooden sticks so that they wouldn’t have to touch the patients. The mask made the doctors look like birds. It had a long beak with about 15 cm from the face. There were also two eyeholes covered in glass and two nose holes.

At that time, doctors believed the plague was spread by bad air. So the doctors put medicine and flowers in the beaks of their masks. They believed this would remove the bad smell from air before breathing it, preventing them from being affected by the plague.

Did it work? Well, not really. The germs that caused the plague did sometimes travel through the air, but good – smelling medicine wasn’t able to stop them. Many doctors still got sick by breathing through the nose holes in their masks. Some plague only spread through bites from fleas (跳蚤) and rodents (啮齿动物). The doctors’ uniforms did help protect them from this danger. However, it was largely the coat, gloves, boots and hat that did the job, not the bird mask.

76．How many ways of stopping germs from spreading are mentioned in the first paragraph?

____________________________________________________________

77．What did the uniform Charles de Lorme desighed for doctors look like?

____________________________________________________________

78．Why did the doctors put medicine and flowers in the beaks of their masks?

____________________________________________________________

79．What does the underlined part “this danger” in Paragraph 5 refer to?

参考答案

1．B

【详解】句意：这部电影值得再看一遍，它让我想起了我在乡下度过的快乐时光。

考查冠词的用法。根据“The movie is worth seeing…second time”可知，这里用“a+序数词”表示“又一，再一”。根据“…happy old days I spent in the country”可知，此处是特指在乡下度过的时光，故第二空用定冠词the。故选B。

2．B

【详解】句意：2022年3月27日下午2时，搜救人员沉默地站着，为MU5735飞机失事132名遇难者默哀。

考查名词辨析。spirit精神；silence沉默；service服务；surprise惊讶。根据“to mourn the 132 victims of the crashed MU5735 aircraft”可知为MU5735飞机失事遇难者默哀，应是默默地站着，in silence“沉默地”。故选B。
