5、anyan trees， some of which are thousands of years old. Yunshuiyao Ancient Town is distinguished for its unique tulou clusters at the foot of the mountain. Fifty-three of these earthen buildings, which were first constructed in the mid Yuan Dynasty, are still standing today. Dajiu Lake Wetland Park T

6、he Assassin（刺客聂隐娘）Located in Shennongjia UNESCO Global Geopark, Central Chinas Hubei province, the Dajiu Lake Wetland Park boasts fascinating sceneries. It is a rare subalpine peat marsh wetland in the worlds middle latitude, at an altitude of over 1, 730 meters and with a total area of 20, 000 hect

7、ares. Known as “Hulun Buir of Hubei province”, it is home to nine lakes on the plateau and lush meadows （草地）. In the wetland park， there are extensive alpine meadows, wetland ferns （蕨类植物），and some animals, such as storks， cranes， and sika deer， which are valuable for scientific research. 1. What is

8、special about Fengguo Temple?A. Its main hall is considered the largest in the world. B. It was designated as a 4A-level tourist attraction in 1961. C. It is one of only three Buddhist temples in existence in China. D. It houses the worlds oldest and largest clay sculptures of painted Buddha statues

9、. 2. What can we know from the text?A. There are 13 banyan trees in Yunshuiyao Ancient Town. B. There are unique earthen buildings in Yunshuiyao Ancient Town. C. The Dajiu Lake Wetland Park is on the UNESCO World Heritage List. D. The Dajiu Lake Wetland Park is home to many rare plants and animals.

10、3. Where is the text probably taken from?A. A textbook. B. An academic article. C. A travel magazine. D. A biography. B“How beautiful the jasmine （茉莉花）is！ A sweet smell covers the budding twigs. So fragrant, so white, admired by all lips. ” The famed Chinese folk song Jasmine Flower has reached a gl

11、obal audience with its beautiful melody and lyrics. Equally popular is the traditionally made Jasmine tea, whose elegant fragrance and mellow taste fascinate countless tea drinkers. Chen Chengzhong has a big say in the production of Jasmine tea as he is a practitioner of Fuzhou Jasmine tea scenting

12、techniques. The 72-year-old tea maker started his career early in his teenage years, when he became an apprentice in a state-owned tea factory. Jasmine tea is a kind of tea scented （带有某种香味）with the fragrance of jasmine blossoms and typically has green tea as its base. The natural scenting process co

13、nsumes fresh jasmine blossoms, picked during the daytime when the buds are closed, Chen said. And the green tea leaves from the spring harvest are stored until the most fragrant jasmine blossoms in late summer. The hot and humid climate and the red soil in East Chinas Fujian province provide favorab

14、le conditions for jasmine and tea plants to thrive, becoming the high-quality ingredients that are needed for Jasmine tea. “Our jasmine flowers and tea leaves are all sourced from Fujian in large quantities, despite the fact that they are pricier than those from other origins, ” Chen said. When the

15、fresh jasmine flowers are harvested, they are mixed with layers of tea leaves. Workers stir （搅拌） the tea leaves and flowers overnight， allowing the leaves to absorb the fragrant scent of the jasmine blossoms. In the morning, the flowers are sorted, the leaves are dried, and the process is repeated.

16、More repetition makes for a more robust jasmine flavor, and it takes at least nine scenting processes to produce Jasmine tea of a superb grade. Having been appointed as the representative practitioner of Fuzhou Jasmine tea scenting techniques, Chen now focuses more on passing on the scenting techniq

17、ues, giving lectures to students and apprentices. Chens son Chen Zheng is motivated to follow in his fathers footsteps and move forward with the scenting techniques. “Like my father, I also hope to practice this traditional skill that has profound cultural deposits, and pass it on, ” Chen Zheng said

18、. 4. What is the authors purpose of quoting the song Jasmine Flower?A. To tell us not to neglect the song. B. To show the popularity of the song. C. To introduce the topic-Jasmine tea. D. To clarify the origin of Jasmine tea. 5. Why are Fujians jasmines and tea leaves the high-quality ingredients?A.

19、 Because their fragrances are mixed together. B. Because Fujian is rich in jasmines and tea leaves. C. Because they are pricier than those from other areas. D. Because Fujian has suitable climate and soil conditions. 6. Which of the following is RIGHT about the process of making Jasmine tea?A. It us

20、es the most fragrant jasmine blossoming in early summer. B. It takes at most nine scenting processes to produce Jasmine tea of a superb grade. C. Tea leaves should be mixed with fresh jasmine flowers to absorb their fragrance. D. Fresh jasmine blossoms are picked during the daytime when the buds are

21、 opened. 7. What does Chen Zheng want to do?A. Produce Jasmine tea of a superb grade. B. Practice and pass on Jasmine tea scenting techniques. C. Give lectures to students and apprentices. D. Become an apprentice in a state-owned tea factory.C Rapid deforestation （毁林） of the Amazon rainforest could

22、influence the temperature and precipitation （降水，降水量）over the Tibetan plateau 15, 000 kilometers awaySaini Yang at Beijing Normal University in China and her colleagues analyzed global climatological data from 1979 to 2019 to identify relations in temperature and precipitation between the Amazon rain

23、forest and other areas. Such links are called “teleconnection1s”. They focused on the Amazon rainforest in particular because of its significance as a major carbon sink and as a climatic “tipping point”（爆发点）that could see forest turn to savannah （稀树草 原）beyond a certain threshold （阈，界） of warming and

24、 human-driven deforestation. The researchers found that since 1979, warm temperatures in the Amazon rainforest were related to warm temperatures over the Tibetan plateau and the West Antarctic ice sheet; more precipitation in the Amazon rainforest was associated with less precipitation in those regi

25、ons. By analyzing changing temperatures in the regions between the Amazon rainforest and those distant areas, they were also able to trace the path through which energy or materials such as black carbon released in forest fires might spread through the atmosphere. Their analysis showed the route rem

26、ained consistent under different future warming scenarios. The collapse of the West Antarctic ice sheet is a known tipping point. Melting snow on the Tibetan plateau is not, but the region is warming more rapidly than much of the rest of the globe, and changes to snow and ice there could have conseq

27、uences for ecosystems and the billions of people that rely on its snowmelt for water, says Yang. Victor Brovkin at the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology in Germany says the teleconnections are an interesting find, but is skeptical that variability in the Amazon rainforest causes the changes elsew

28、here. He says the Amazon rainforest is too small an area to overcome the influence of the tropical oceans and the researchers dont present a physical mechanism to explain any influence. If the Amazon rainforest does have an influence on these regions, however, it could mean there is higher risk that

29、 the Amazon rainforest tipping point might set others off, says Jonathan Donges-at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research in Germany. “It adds an additional potential domino （多米诺骨牌）that can fall. ”8. Why was the Amazon rainforest the focus for Saini Yangs research?A. Because it played a r

30、ole as a main carbon sink. B. Because it was the most important carbon sink. C. Because it was very likely to turn to savannah. D. Because it was at a high risk of becoming a climatic “tipping point”. 9. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?A. The benefits of the research. B. The findings of the

31、research. C. The means of analyzing the data. D. The results of the Amazon rainforest being deforested. 10. Which of the following points may Saini Yang agree with?A. The temperature of the Tibetan plateau changes the fastest. B. The variability in the Amazon rainforest may not lead to changes elsew

32、here. C. The more the Amazon rainforest rains, the less rainfall the Tibetan plateau may have. D. The consequences of the collapse of the West Antarctic ice sheet are little-known. 11. What can we learn about the Amazon rainforest from the last two paragraphs?A. Teleconnections have kept the researc

33、hers interested for a long time. B. The Amazon rainforest tipping point is likely to set off those of other areas. C. The findings of the research on the Amazon rainforest are controversial. D. The Amazon rainforest is large enough to remove the influence of the tropical oceans. DUntil the 1940s，blo

34、od transfusions （输血）often went wrong because some main blood- group systems had yet to be discovered. This phenomenon is now a thing of the past, but finding a well-matched donor can still be difficult, especially for patients with rare blood types. Recently, a team of British researchers announced

35、a step towards solving this problem by successfully transfusing into two healthy volunteers red blood cells grown from appropriate stem cells donated by others. By now, such manufactured red cells have been given only to those whose own stem cells had been the source. The stem cells used for this ex

36、periment, however, were extracted from blood donated in the normal way. Then, the harvested stem cells were grown and multiplied in a nutrient solution for about 20 days, which served to turn them into young versions of red blood cells called reticulocytes, which, once transfused, quickly develop in

37、to the real McCoy. The lab-made red blood cells would be expected to last longer in a receivers body than those from a normal transfusion, since transfused blood unavoidably contains some cells that are on their last legs. The next step is to measure how long the manufactured cells actually do last.

38、 If they do indeed survive traditionally transfused cells, then receivers will not need frequent transfusions. That will help a lot. At the moment, patients with blood disorders such as sickle-cell disease and thalassemia may require a transfusion as often as every four to six weeks. . As a conseque

39、nce， some develop iron overload, which causes severe complications（并发症). Others end up forming antibodies against many blood types， which makes finding a matching donor harder. If all goes well, the trial will be extended to more volunteers. But larger tests, including tests on actual patients, will

40、 be needed before this approach can be put into practice. Even then, the technique will probably be reserved for a favored few-those possessing rare blood types being at the head of the queue. Unless some unforeseen breakthrough occurs, making the cells in quantity will be challenging. 12. What does

41、 the underlined part “the real McCoy” in paragraph 2 refer to?A. Red blood cells. B. Stem cells. C. Reticulocytes. D. Nutrient solutions. 13. What can we learn about blood transfusions according to the text?A. The lab-made red blood cells last longer than those from a normal transfusion. B. Those wi

42、th rare blood types may enjoy priority in the transfusion of lab-made red blood cells. C. Most patients with blood disorders may suffer severe complications and form antibodies. D. Blood transfusions often go wrong because of peoples ignorance of the main blood systems. 14. Whats the authors attitud

43、e to the mass production of the lab-made red cells in the near future?A. Indifferent. B. Optimistic. C. Hopeless. D. Cautious. 15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. Development of technology in blood transfusionsB. Transfusion of lab-made red blood cells into humansC. Red

44、blood cells coming from stem cells of receiversD. Development and promotion of lab-made blood cells二、七选五If you suffer from social anxiety, you will fear certain situations. Some fear speaking in front of groups of people, while others fear going to parties or other types of social events. In whichev

45、er situation your fear arises, youll probably experience sweating, flushing, feeling your heart race, or other symptoms of anxiety. 1 Number one: Deep muscle relaxation. Learning to physically relax is one of the best ways to combat anxiety. 2 For deep muscle relaxation, you will tense and then rela

46、x the major muscle groups of your body, beginning with your feet and working your way towards your head and face. Number Two: Slow breathing. 3 When youre anxious, your breathing becomes faster and more shallow and as a result, youll feel light-headed and dizzy, bringing on more anxiety. Learning to

47、 breathe slower and more regularly through your nose will help you calm down. Number Three: Visualization. The key to visualization is to remember a place where you felt safe and comfortable. Once you remember this place, get a picture of it in your mind so clearly that you can feel, see, smell and

48、even taste that place. 4 Number Four: 5 Most people with social anxiety want to hide, avoid, or run away from whatever theyre scared of. But by facing your anxiety instead youll find that it is usually something you can tolerate after a few exposures. When using this method, focus on whats going on around you instead of whats going through your mind. That should help you distract yourself from those anxious thoughts. A. Facing your anxiety. B. Controlling your thoughts. C. This takes practice and patience. D. Its impossible to feel both relaxed and anxious. E. This technique
