It was once widely believed that it could beseen from the space. Some
11、 media even reported with affected seriousness, “Thebiggest building the astronauts could see from the space is the wall, which looks verymuch like a black worm.” Consequently, this statement has gone deep into peoplesminds and become an honor that Chinese people have enjoyed for years.Is the Great
12、Wall truly visible from the space? Yang Liwei, Chinas firstastronaut who was lifted into the outer space by the spacecraft Shenzhou V, gave adefinite answer “No”. Yangs negative response may probably put out a fair numberof peoples passion. But it powerfully corrected the misconception. The wall is
13、indeedmajestic, but you wont see it from the space!In fact, Neil Alden Armstrong, the American astronaut who first set foot on themoon in 1969, was asked many times whether or not he had seen the Great Wall fromthe moon. Recently from a sound recording announced by NASA Johnson SpaceCenter, Armstron
14、g said that he had seen the continents, lakes and blue spots touchedwith red. But he could not make out any man-made object on the earth from themoon.The Great Wall is narrow and irregular. In space, something irregular is hard toobserve. Measuring about 10 metres wide on average, it easily merges(融
15、入)into thesurrounding environment. With solely the naked eye, it is totally invisible at a heightof 196,850 feet. To watch the wall on the moon is like seeking for a single hair fromabout 2,688 metres away. To say an astronaut can see it from the space is obviouslynot true.However, some people intro
16、duced an idea to make the Great Wall visible fromthe space. If we install bright spotlights on the wall, astronauts will see the lights atnight. But this suggestion has not been carried out by scientific experiments.1.Which is right about the saying “the Great Wall can be seen from the space”?A.News
17、 media cast doubt on the saying.B.There was much evidence for the saying.C.Astronauts played a trick on Chinese people.D.The Chinese had belief in the saying for long.2.What does the underlined word “majestic” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A.Second to none.B.Far-reaching.C.Grand.D.Visible.3.As Armstr
18、ong once said, what did he see from the moon?A.The Great Wall.B.Bright spotlights.C.Places painted blue.D.Large area of land.4.How does the author prove a point in Paragraph 4?A.By listing figures.B.By giving examples.C.By classifying facts.D.By drawing conclusions.BAntiquities(文物) are ancient objec
19、ts and artworks. Many people visit museumsto view antiquities. They enjoy seeing these relics of the ancient world as a way ofunderstanding past cultures and sometimes connecting with their own heritage.Museums get works to show from many different sources. Sometimes they buythem. Other times they r
20、eceive donations. Today there are strict guidelines forbiddingart that has been stolen from other countries. However, antiquities that have been atmuseums for many years or even centuries may have arrived there by dishonestmeans. Now, some countries say that museums have a duty to return these antiq
21、uitiesto their original locations.Should museums return the antiquities? Experts disagree. Malcolm Bell says yes.Bell is a professor of art at the University of Virginia. He says,“Many antiquities andworks of art have special cultural value for a particular community or nation. Whenthese works are t
22、aken from their original cultural setting, they lose their context andthe culture loses a part of its history.”According to Bell, a countrys request for the return of an antiquity “usually hasa strong legal basis.” “It was exported (出口) illegally, probably also dug outillegally, and is now stolen pr
23、operty (财物).” He called the return of antiquities “anexpression of justice”.James Cuno says not always. Cuno is the president of the J. Paul Getty Museum,an art museum in Los Angeles. Cuno agrees that museums have a legal duty to returnillegally exported antiquities. However, he doesnt support the r
24、eturn of works whichwere got legally. “Land held today by a given nation-state(单一民族独立国家) inthe past likely belonged to a different country.even if one wants to return thosestolen works of art, where will one do so? Which among the many countries, cities,and museums that own parts of a work of art sh
25、ould be the home of the returnedwork?” Cuno believes that museums should collect art from the worlds variouscultures. This should be done “through buying or long-term loan (长期借用) andworking together with museums and nations around the world.”This debate is far from over. As a complex question with n
26、o easy answer, theissue requires more study.5.What can we learn from the first two paragraphs?A.Museums get antiquities through various means.B.Antiquities from other countries are more valuable.C.Antiquities are greatly appreciated by foreign visitors.D.Museums around the world have lost many antiq

34、ay to4.prevented; from5.takes an activepart in.1.creatively考查副词。句意:她创造性地把美食与短视频结合起来以传播中国的饮食文化。设空处作状语,修饰动词 combines。故用副词形式。2.to考查介词。句意:我相信我们每一个人都能够对世界的未来有所贡献。contribute to 对做出贡献。故填 to。3.loss考查名词。句意:他下定决心尽最大努力弥补损失。定冠词 the 后应用名词。故填 loss。4.limitless考查形容词。句意:我相信每个孩子都有无限的潜能成功。设空处作定语修饰其后名词 potential,表示“无限度
35、的;无止境的”。故用形容词 limitless。5.donation考查名词。句意:他收到一封感谢信,感谢他捐书给我们学校图书馆。根据空前后的 for his.of 结构可知,设空处应该用名词形式。故填 donation。6.application考查名词。句意:图书馆中智能机器人的应用使图书管理员的工作越来越容易。由设空处前的 The 和设空处后的 of 可知此处应用名词形式。application 意为“应用,运用”。7.investigations考查名词及其单复数。 句意:在你实施一个项目之前,你应该做许多调查。设空处作 do 的宾语,应用名词,再由设空处前面的 many 可知应用复数

39、 statement has gonedeep into peoples minds and become an honor that Chinese people have enjoyed foryears.”可知,“从太空中能看到长城”这种说法已经深入人心,让中国人多年来引以为荣。故 D 项正确。由第一段中的 Some media even reported with affectedseriousness,“The biggest building the astronauts could see from the space is the wall,which looks very m
40、uch like a black worm.”可知,有媒体报道宇航员从太空中能看到的最大的建筑物就是长城。因此 A 项“新闻媒体让人们怀疑这种说法”是错误的。B 项“有大量证据证明这种说法”与文中表述不符;C 项“宇航员戏弄中国人”文中未提及。2.C词义猜测题。由第一段中的“Measuring about 13,170 miles long”可知长城是雄伟的建筑物,而画线词所在句意为“长城的确,但是你从太空中是看不到的”,根据前后两个分句的转折关系的提示可知 majestic 意为“宏伟的”,与 C 项意思相近。故选 C。3.D细节理解题。由第三段最后两句可知,在美国宇航局约翰逊航天中心最近公
41、布的一份录音中,阿姆斯特朗说他看到了大陆、湖泊和带有些许红色的蓝色地方。但他无法从月球上辨认出地球上任何人造物体。故选 D。4.A推理判断题。文章第四段从理论上阐述了“从太空中看不到长城”的原因,通过列数字来说明。故选 A。B本文是一篇议论文。 针对博物馆中的一些通过不正当手段得来的文物是否应该归还的问题出现了不同的声音:一些专家不同意归还,而另一些则认为应该归还。这场辩论远未结束,这是一个复杂的问题,没有简单的答案,需要更多的研究。5.A细节理解题。根据第二段第一、二、三句“Museums get works to show frommany different sources. Somet
42、imes they buy them. Other times they receivedonations.”可知,博物馆展出的作品来源不同,这些文物是通过各种方式获得的。故选 A。B 项“其他国家的文物更有价值”;C 项“文物深受外国游客的赏识”;D项“世界各地的博物馆失去了许多文物”。6.B细节理解题。根据第四段“According to Bell.He called the return ofantiquities an expression of justice.”以及倒数第二段第三句“Cuno agrees thatmuseums have a legal duty to retur
43、n illegally exported antiquities.”可知,Bell 和Cuno 都同意博物馆应该归还非法拥有的文物。故选 B。A 项“非法拥有的文物不应该展出”文中没有提到这方面信息;C 项“其他国家的文物可能会失去其文化价值”仅是 Bell 的观点;D 项“博物馆应该收集不同文化的文物”是 Cuno 的观点。7.C推理判断题。根据最后一段“This debate is far from over. As a complexquestion with no easy answer, the issue requires more study.”可知,这场辩论远未结束,这个问题还
44、需要更多的研究,所以作者对这个问题的态度是客观的。故选 C。.本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了四种中国古代的儿童游戏。1.G根据上文 Unlike the children nowadays, the children during ancient timesdidnt have smart phones, iPads or computers to entertain(娱乐) themselves.以及下文Lets take a look.可知,该空承上启下,故 G 选项“相反,他们想出了有趣的游戏在他们的童年玩。”符合语境。2.B根据下文 For example, the swallow-
45、shaped kite is a well-known Beijing style.可知,例如,燕子形状的风筝是著名的北京风格。 空后句举例说明该空内容,故 B 选项“它们都有各自的特点。”符合语境。3.F根据上文 There are two ways to play. One way is covering a childs eyes whileother kids run around to tease(戏弄) him.可知,该空承接上文内容,介绍捉迷藏的另一种玩法,故 F 选项“更常见的是,参与者躲起来,一个孩子必须设法找到他们。”符合语境。4.A设空处为标题,根据本段内容可知,在古代,
46、与看电影或电视最接近的娱乐方式就是看皮影戏。民间艺人在屏幕后操纵玩偶,同时讲故事,配上音乐。所以这一段的标题是“看皮影戏”,故选 A。5.E根据本段标题 Setting off firecrackers 以及上文 It is said that there was a beastnamed Nian in ancient China.并结合下文 After gunpowder was invented, itgradually replaced the bamboo joint cracker.可知,在火药被发明之前,人们烧的是竹节,其目的是吓跑这头野兽,故 E 选项“为了吓跑这头野兽,人们烧竹节使它们爆炸。”符合语境。
