be seen all the time.But now there isa new 2.5 kilometer-long car-free area inside the city.The Louvre(卢浮宫)attractsworld tourists.People visit there not just for the art works,but also enjoy theroof of the building which is like a flying carpet.The worlds most beautiful cityis now even more beautiful.LijiangLijiang RiverRiver NationalNational Park,Park,China.China.Lijiang River is in Guilin.It is well-known for its clear water,limestone(石灰岩洞)and green hills.The hills have beautiful names depending on different shapes,such as“Elephant Trunk”.These attract many Chinese poets and artists.The bestway to enjoy Lijaing River is to take an 83 km boat trip from Guilin to Yangshuo insummer.Zurich,Zurich,SwitzerlandSwitzerlandWhat do you think Zurich is famous for?Great banks?Yes.People can find manySwiss banks and foreign banks here.But the city is of great interest to many peoplefor another reason.Zurich hostsEuropes largest street party each year.Its StreetParade has overtaken Londons Noting Hill Carnival.Whats hot in the city in 2014?In August,Zurich will host the European Athletic Championships.This gives touristsa chance to see the worlds top athletes making new records.Adelaide,Adelaide,AustraliaAustraliaMany people may know Sydney or Melbourne.They are big cities in Australia.ButAdelaide wins peoples hearts with great festivals and tasty food.Adelaide FringeFestival is the largest art festival in Australia.Every February and March,peoplecelebrate with outdoor art works,dance performances and live music.Adelaide hasmany kinds of foreign foods.British fish and chips,Italian pizza and German porkcan be found in most restaurants.21.Tourists enjoy the art works as well as _of the Louvre.A.the busy streetB.the shape of its roofC.the car-freeareaD.the flyingcarpetlimestone caves22.Compared with Londons Noting Hill Carnival,the Street Parade in Zurich is_.A.even worseB.exactly the sameC.muchbetterD.less popular23.Betty is studying art at college.Shes travelling to some place to enjoy artwork and taste foreign foods.She could go to_A.AdelaideB.Lijiang River National ParkC.Zurichand ParisD.the LouvreB BOne thing the tour books dont tell you about London is that 2,000 of itsresidents(居民)are foxes.They ran away from the city about centuries ago afterdevelopers and pollution moved in.But now that the environment is cleaner,the foxeshave come home,.“The number and variety of wild animals in urban(城市的)areas is increasing,”says Corner Jones.A survey of the wildlife in New Yorks Central Park last yearcounted 14 species of mammals.A similar survey conducted in the 1890s countedonly five species.Several changes have brought wild animals to the cities.Foremost is that airandwaterqualityinmanycitieshasimprovedasaresultofthe1970spollution-control efforts.Meanwhile,rural areas have been built up,leaving manyanimals on the edges of suburbs.In addition,urban wildlife refuges(避难处)havebeen created.The Greater London Council last year spent$750,000 to buy land andbuild 10 permanent(永久性的)wildlife refuges in the city.As a result,many birdsare now living in the city.By 1970 the birds had died out east of the Mississippibecause the DDT had made their eggs too thin to support life.That year,scientistTom Cade of Cornell University began raising the birds for release in cities,forcities afforded abundant food.Cities can attract wild animals without turning them harmful.The trick is tocreate habitats where they can be self-sufficient but still be seen and appreciated.Such habitats can even be functional.In San Francisco,the local government is testingdifferent kinds of rainwater control basins to see not only which ones keep thecleanest water but which will attract the most birds.24.What is the passage mainly about?AWildlifereturningto large cities.BFoxes returning to London.CWild animals living in zoos.DA survey of wildlife in New York.25:It can be inferred from the passage that _.ALondoners are putting more and more wild animals into their zoosBLondoners are happy to see wild animals return to their cityCLondoners are trying to move wild animals back to the countrysideDLondoners have welcomed the wild birds,but found foxes a problem26.According to the passage,the number of species of wildlife in New Yorkspark_.Ais slowly decreasingBis the same as that in other citiesCis on the same level as beforeDhas more than doubled in the lastcentury27.Which of the following is NOT a reason that wildlife is returning to the cities?AFood is plentiful in the cities.BWildlife is appreciated in the cities.CWildlife refuges have been built in the cities.DAir and water quality has improved in the cities.C CMany people think computer games are only good for wasting time.Students whoplay computer games are always thought to be bad students,spending all their timedoing nothing meaningful.To parents,computer games mean low exam marks and a lotof money.But I think electronic games have the same value as courses we take in school.Theyre all man-made problems-waiting to be solved.Above all,theyre demandingand challenging.Different games may have different effects.If you play well,it could be somehelp in your studies.Take me as an example.I played a DOS-run game called“Great Era Of Navigation”for four years.Every timeI played a different role in the game,enjoying the extremelyrealistic feeling of being a sailor,a lookout or a captain on a ship sailing to Europe,America,or even ancient Asia in the 16thcentury.I can say theres no better game than that.The ship took me all around the world.It carried me to the top of two subjects-geography and economics.By leading the ship,I got to know famous sites,rare animals and architectureall over the world.Thanks to the game I know the map of the world very well.I havealso investigated most important seaports in Europe and discovered new places in theworld to use as ports.Whats more,while discovering the potential of the game,I also improved mycourage and self-confidence.This is what a real gamer always does.They choose the best game and explore deeplyall that a game can offer.They make the most of the chance to use their skills andknowledge.Also,real gamers are not alone.They get to kno w each other by competing andcommunicating their skills in the game.Besides the knowledge and friendship they gain,real gamers can get a littlesurprise if they write about their valuable experience to online magazines-theywill be paid!In a real gamers opinion,playing games is a way to kill several birds withone stone.Every game can be helpful in every aspect,whether its good or not toplay games depends on how you deal with it.28.The passage is written to _.A.discuss the two sides of playing computer gamesB.argue for the benefits of playing computer gamesC.introduce ways to become a real gamerD.explain how to play the game“Great Era Of Navigation”29.How did the author start his article?A.By raising a serious existing problemB.By stating his personal viewsC.By raising the opposite viewD.By giving examples to clarify his opinion30.In the authors opinion,a real gamer gains the following benefits EXCEPT_.A.earning money by writing about their experiencesB.making more and more friends with other playersC.applying their and knowledge in the gamesD.enjoying competing and being defeated31.The underlined phrase probably suggests that playing computer games_.A.is helpful in many ways at the same timeB.does great harm to the wild lifeC.is very costly and tiringD.can serve as a good way to restD DDid Americans really walk on the Moon over 30 years ago?The question soundsridiculous?Most people accept that US astronauts first walked on the moon aboardthe Apollo II mission on July 20,1969.But those who dont believe this have createda lot of doubt.So the National Aeronautics and Space Administration(NASA)will produce amini-book to show that yes,indeed,Americans did land on the Moon.Those doubt the Apollo moon landings insist that the US lacked technology theMoon at that time.They say that the US was so desperate(不顾一切的)to win the spacerace against the former Soviet Union that it faked(伪装)the moon landing on moviesets.The doubters say the fake was done so badly there is obvious evidence that itdidnt actually happen.The film shows astronauts planting the American flag on theMoon,It shows the flag rippling in the wind.Critics say that as there is no windon the moon,the picture must have been faked.They also say that the film doesntinclude stars in the night sky.And the first men to step on the Moon-astronautsNeil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin have never spoken about their lunar adventures.NASA explained that the astronauts struggled to plant the US flag on the surfaceof the Moon.They twisted it around a bit before it stuck and this created the ripplesin the flag.The ripples would have disappeared within seconds on Earth,where theatmosphere would have stooped them.But on the Moon,where there is no atmosphere,the rippling carried on,making it look like wind.The missing stars are easily explained.The pictures in question also show Earth,which looks very bright.It is so bright that it outshines the stars making them lookinvisible.As for Armstrong and Aldrin,they both have spoken about the mission.NASA says they do not hope to change every critics mind with the look,but theywant it to be an educational aid for teachers to prove the critics wrong.An engineerwill write the book and it will answer the critics point by point.32.What is the main idea of the passage?A.Some people doubt whether Americans landed on the MoonB.NASA will publish a book on Americans Moon landing in 1969C.Critics had lots of questions about Apollos Moon landingsD.American landing on the Moon is nothing but a lie.33.Which of the following is NOT the evidence critics listed to argue thatAmerican astronauts hadnt really landed on the Moon?A.The flag rippled in the wind though there was no wind in space.B.American astronauts landing on the Moon never mentioned their experiencesC.From the film,no stars could be seen in the night sky.D.The USA hasnt developed the technology to send humans to the Moon34.The underlined word“invisible”means_.A.much darkerB.a bit mysteriousC.Not to be seenD.Not to be visited35.The purpose of the book is to _.A.show why some people dont believe the Moon landing storyB.change the critics mindC.emphasize the Moon landing was trueD.provide some reference for educators第二节(共第二节(共 5 5 小题;每小题小题;每小题 2 2 分,满分分,满分 1010 分)分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。On the first day of my new high school,I almost had a nervous
